nagappanTheMuso, BTW, the combo box bug have been fixed by mgorse - FYI00:00
robert_ancellRAOF, wow, alt-tab is super crashy now...  See bug 74064802:28
RAOFrobert_ancell: Yeah.  I'm back in the classic session now.02:29
robert_ancellRAOF, are you using ATI or other?02:29
RAOFThere seem to be at least three separate crashers in alt-tab now, none of which are in the driver code.02:29
RAOFATI and intel.02:30
robert_ancellwhy is alt-tab so flaky?  It doesn't seem like that complicated a feature02:30
RAOFBut the crashers are in a glib closure that's not touching the driver stack.  Apart from the one which was in free() (!).02:30
RAOFI presume that someone's hooked some handlers up to alt-tab that aren't particularly tested.02:32
RAOFNotably this seems to only occur when unity's loaded.02:33

kmanzoorping()07:52
jasoncwarnerhey didrocks, around at all?08:24
didrocksjasoncwarner: sure08:24
jasoncwarnerdidrocks: morning :)08:24
jasoncwarnerhey...pitti and I were talking about what happens with ATI if the card/driver the person has won't run and what the default experience would be...figured we could talk through it if you didn't mind...08:25
didrocksjasoncwarner: shouldn't be the same than nvidia? (in theory)08:26
didrocksjasoncwarner: like the testing tool is failing08:26
jasoncwarnerso, my question was this...what happens if someone has an a card/driver combo that doesn't work...what will happen on boot for that person?08:27
didrocksso, we fallback to the classic mode08:27
didrocksoh08:27
didrocksthis is more a Xorg thing, right?08:27
didrocksI know that currently, on nvidia, it's ackward08:27
didrocksblack screen08:27
jasoncwarnerwell, I would think that if they can't run unity, yes, we would fallback to classic mode...but I was wondering about order of oeprations as well as initial experience for them08:27
didrockslike, you need the -96 driver for your card08:27
jasoncwarnerlike...do we try to boot unity...compiz crashes a couple of times and then we fall back'08:28
didrocksand you forced to the current08:28
jasoncwarner?08:28
didrocksxorg doesn't start08:28
didrocksjasoncwarner: no, that was planned, but unfortunately nobody had the time to tackle it08:28
didrocksI harrass the dx team for a month to at least, with have unity_support_test --compiz08:28
didrockswhich exist08:28
didrocksbut just trigger the same test than unity itself08:29
didrocks(alone)08:29
jasoncwarnerso perhaps it is worth talking through a scenario, just so I can get my head wrapped around it.08:29
jasoncwarner1. from talkign to people, I hear there is a nux test that will tell us if they can run compiz/unity...is that right?08:29
didrocksright, now, it just tell if you can run unity08:30
didrocksso it's either unity / metacity08:30
jasoncwarnerok08:30
didrocksit's either unity - compiz / metacity - gnome-panel08:30
didrocksto be exact :)08:30
didrocksjasoncwarner: TBH, first test, I think we should ensure the testing tool is working fine08:31
didrockswhich isn't the case08:31
jasoncwarnerso lets say someone has an ATI card and fglrx. It happens that this combo doesn't run unity. What happens at boot?08:31
didrocksand nobody has time to finish it08:31
didrocksso, the testing tool should report "can't run unity"08:31
didrocks(or crash even…)08:31
didrocksin that case gnome-session go on "let's fallback"08:32
didrocksand the guy should have metacity and gnome-panel started08:32
didrocksthe thing to access that and ensure we have the exact same level08:32
jasoncwarnerdo they get a blank screen? a flicker? or does it appear to _try_ to load something and then fall back to GDM with a message saying "select classic desktop"?08:32
didrocksis that the unity test tools really test every requirement08:33
jasoncwarneror does it do it automaticallY?08:33
didrocksjasoncwarner: no, it's automatic08:33
didrocksok, let's me sum up08:33
didrocksthere are multiple case that I implemented :)08:33
jasoncwarner:)08:33
didrocksso stock installation:08:33
didrockslet's say the the testing tool is perfect, it can detect unity/compiz/metacity08:33
didrocksyou log in08:34
didrocksthe testing tool tries unity08:34
didrocks"it can't" (crash/timeout or return 1)08:34
didrocksgnome-session fallback in compiz and gnome-panel08:34
didrocksfallback to a different UI, gnoeme-session knows that and prompt a message (will copy the message later)08:35
didrockstghen the testing tool tries compiz (<---- this is what is missing currently)08:35
didrocks"let's say it can't"08:35
didrocksso, we fallback to metacity + gnome-panel08:35
didrocks(no message here as the ui is exactly the same)08:36
didrockslet me show you the message08:36
jasoncwarnerso we really have three diff combos? Unity + compiz. Compiz + gnome-panel and metacity + gnome-panel?08:36
didrocks"It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose the Ubuntu Classic Desktop at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment.08:37
didrocks"08:37
didrockseven more :)08:37
chrisccoulsonpitti - well, i sort-of have swt-gtk working locally with webkit08:37
didrocksbecause if you install unity-2D08:37
chrisccoulsonbut i had to hack the binary ;)08:37
didrocks(which isn't on the cd by default)08:37
didrocksit will try unity + compiz08:37
didrocksif it can't08:37
didrocksit will fallback to unity2D + metacity08:37
chrisccoulsoni still haven't figured out why i'm seeing this problem08:37
didrocks(which is always supported)08:37
didrocksjasoncwarner: no warning message in this case as we have the same ui08:37
jasoncwarnerok...so (recapping myself :) )08:38
chrisccoulsonhi jasoncwarner08:38
chrisccoulsonhow are you?08:38
jasoncwarnerhey chrisccoulson...pretty good thanks! :008:38
chrisccoulsonpitti - if i replace the cltq instruction in http://paste.ubuntu.com/584176/ with 2 nop's, then swt-gtk magically works08:38
jasoncwarnerdidrocks: if they can't run unity, try compiz + gnome. If can't run compiz, enable metacity + gnome.08:39
chrisccoulsonwhich i think proves my point. now to figure out why gcc puts it there08:39
jasoncwarnerif Unity2d is installed, it becomes08:39
jasoncwarnertry Unity3d. If not, try Unit2d and then we are done b/c that will always work08:39
jasoncwarner?08:39
didrocksjasoncwarner: right, the only missing piece today is "testing compiz without unity"08:40
didrocksnot on gnome-session in the test tool08:40
jasoncwarnerand that is missing b/c we just haven't had time to finish/test it?08:40
jasoncwarnerso if that doesn't work/get tested, can we just default to "if not unity3d, if not unity2d, use metacity + gnome"?08:41
didrocksjasoncwarner: only dx opengl guys knows what's opengl req. for unity and compiz08:41
didrocksjasoncwarner: also, that requires that we are sure that all opengl req. are tested so that we don't get then a crash believing that the card support unity which isn't the case08:42
jasoncwarnerok...so we'll need to check with dbarth to see about getting that looked at..08:42
didrocksjasoncwarner: so testing there :)08:42
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
didrocksjasoncwarner: yes please :-)08:42
jasoncwarnerabout how long would the rpocess take, start to finish08:42
jasoncwarnerif someone had to fall all the way back?08:43
didrocksjasoncwarner: the test tool has a bug that it can take 4s on some machine in the live session (I had to put the timeout for 5s)08:43
didrocksjasoncwarner: on my installed machine, it takes 0.7s08:43
didrocksso, in the worst case, it's 2x0.7s08:44
didrocksin the live, it's more of course08:44
jasoncwarnerabout 8-10s...ok...08:44
didrockson a live of course :)08:44
jasoncwarneryeah :)08:44
didrocksI tested on a netbook, can be quite embarrassing, 2x2s approx08:45
jasoncwarnerok...I think I have a handle on it now...08:45
jasoncwarnerbtw...that message you gave me earlier...where does the user see that? when they finally get into a desktop session?08:45
jasoncwarneror at gdm?08:45
didrocksjasoncwarner: right now, only in the desktop session08:46
didrocksjasoncwarner: that's a way we can explore later for OO I guess to get those sessions/fallback integated in the DM08:46
jasoncwarnerI like it better that they get to a desktop rather than make them select something in gdm first time in...no worries there...thanks!08:47
dbarthdidrocks, jasoncwarner: which additional gl reqs do you want us to test?08:48
didrocksdbarth: just that the --compiz option is wired up08:49
didrocksjasoncwarner: just not really possible today with gdm unfortunately08:49
didrocksdbarth: and ensuring that the tests in the unity initilization are the same than in the testing tool (not the case today)08:50
pittididrocks, jasoncwarner: I think our concern was what happens if the testing tool says "thumbs up" (e. g. the driver claims to have the capabilities), but compiz keeps crashing due to a bug08:53
pittichrisccoulson: *bowing to your assembly sk1llz*08:54
didrockspitti: well, not really differently than today if compiz is crashing because it's not supported08:54
jasoncwarnerpitti: yeah, good case... didrocks, what happens there?08:54
didrocksjasoncwarner: ^^08:55
pittichrisccoulson: that's "convert long to quad"?, i. e. destroys the upper 32 bits?08:55
didrocksmeaning you will see (still needs testing, respawn is under work and don't work with latest version as announced) compiz respawning/crashing08:55
didrocksbut that's already the case today08:55
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, i'm losing the upper 32 bits of the pointer, which is making it crash later on08:55
pittichrisccoulson: do you know how that got in there, i. e. from which C operation? sounds like a typecast of some way?08:55
pittididrocks: right; I think it's a corner case really, it just came up in discussion08:56
chrisccoulsonpitti - i'm not too sure yet, as the function is pretty much identical to all the others in that object file (and it's the only one which ends up with that cltq instruction)08:56
didrockspitti: TBH, I really want to address that in the long term. It just seems the ETOOMUCH for this cycle :)08:56
pittididrocks: no worries08:57
dbarthdidrocks: the --compiz is still not there?08:58
chrisccoulsonpitti - bug 740815 :)08:58
ubot2Launchpad bug 740815 in xulrunner-2.0 "[FFe] Updates to enable us to drop xulrunner from main" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74081508:58
chrisccoulsonit's actually quite a bit of work :(08:58
chrisccoulsoni might need a bit of help with some of that08:59
didrocksdbarth: it's there, but it's fake. it has the same test req. than unity08:59
dbarthdidrocks: ahhhhh09:00
didrocksdbarth: well, basically, it's not that bad with the test that way09:00
didrocksdbarth: it's just that the user has either compiz + unity or metacity + gnome-panel09:01
pittichrisccoulson: quite a long list :)09:01
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, it's longer than i thought ;)09:01
pittichrisccoulson: that's for xulrunner-2.0, not for -1.9.2, right?09:01
chrisccoulsonpitti - that's for both09:01
pittichrisccoulson: would it be a significant win to only get it half-done for natty? I. e. less porting work when we switch to ffox 5?09:03
chrisccoulsonpitti - the only issue is if we ship with it in main, we are sort-of committed to supporting it (and that would mean porting everything really, so we don't break universe)09:04
chrisccoulsonhmmm, is it only gwibber which keeps gnome-python-extras in main?09:04
chrisccoulsonit certainly looks like it09:05
seb128what is gwibber using from it?09:05
chrisccoulsonseb128 - python-gtkspell09:05
pittichrisccoulson: thanks for the analysis -- it is quite some work indeed, but it seems feasible; and it's nicely parallelizable09:05
pittichrisccoulson: g-p-e is pretty much obsolete by itself09:05
pittichrisccoulson: in oneiric, when we switch to gtk 3, we need to get rid of it anyway09:05
chrisccoulsonseb128 - the issue with having gnome-python-extras in main is that it keeps xulrunner in main (with python-gtkmozembed), and the only things using it are in universe09:06
chrisccoulsonwhich is the same situation i have with swt-gtk09:06
chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, that's cool that it is going away then :)09:06
seb128if you want to get ride of it in main for natty duplicate the source09:06
pitticonfirmed, no other build/binary depends in main09:06
seb128stop building -mozembed from g-p-e09:06
seb128then add a g-p-e-universe which builds only that09:07
seb128it's a small cost09:07
pittiso for gwibber we'd need to build a .gir for libgtkspell, and then use that instead of the python binding09:07
chrisccoulsonyeah, i guess we could do that09:07
seb128pitti, you can mix pygtk and gi?09:07
seb128pitti, gwibber is not using gi09:07
pittiseb128: depends09:08
pittiyou can't mix gi.repository.Gtk with pygtk09:08
seb128well in any case that seems a next cycle sort of thing09:08
pittiyou can certainly mix e. g. gi.repository.GUdev with pygtk09:08
seb128it would require building the .gir and porting gwibber09:08
pittigtkspell links with libgtk, so it might be an issue09:08
seb128we better duplicate the source for natty09:08
rodrigo_morning09:09
seb128hey rodrigo_09:09
pittiseb128: i. e. build a python-gtkspell source?09:09
pittiand drop g-p-e to universe?09:09
seb128pitti, what I just wrote 15 lines before09:09
pittiah, sorry09:10
seb128<seb128> if you want to get ride of it in main for natty duplicate the source09:10
seb128<seb128> stop building -mozembed from g-p-e09:10
seb128 then add a g-p-e-universe which builds only that09:10
pittior that way around09:10
seb128I've no strong preference which way it's done, as long as things needed in main are still built from the main source09:10
pittinote:09:11
pittitry:09:11
seb128well I would go for that rather than starting porting things to gi for this cycle09:11
pitti  import gtkspell09:11
pittiexcept:09:11
pitti  gtkspell = None09:11
pittiso in the simplest case we could just drop the spell check :)09:11
pitti(... dependency)09:11
seb128we could, be still it seems we have no reason09:12
pittihmm09:12
seb128there is no issue with python-gtkspell09:12
pitti        self.spell = util.gtkspell.Spell(self, None)09:12
pittithat's the only call to gtkspell ever in gwibber09:12

ubot2Launchpad bug 451374 in gwibber "gwibber is not spellchecking" [Low,Fix released]09:13
pittisame for grepping the entire source09:13
seb128suggests that spell checking is working though09:13
pittiah, it probably attaches itself to the gtk.TextView, nevermind09:14
pittiseb128: anyway, its API is tiny09:15
chrisccoulsonpitti - do you think you'd be able to fix that then? :)09:15
pittichrisccoulson: building a .gir should be easy09:16
chrisccoulsonexcellent, thanks :)09:16
pittichrisccoulson: but it requires porting gwibber to gtk gi as well09:16
chrisccoulsonoh, that's a bit of a pain i guess ;)09:16
pittiso it's not for natty, I'm afraid, we have to go with the source split09:16
chrisccoulsonok, that shouldn't be too much of an issue09:16
pittichrisccoulson: it's not a separate API, it basically provides an extension of Gtk.TextView09:17
chrisccoulsonis Sweetshark not around today?09:17
seb128the split is tiny cost09:18
seb128it's not like g-p-e had weekly uploads and those would need to stay in sync09:18
pitti*nod*09:18
pittiseb128: I doubt that it will get a lot more releases in the first place09:18
pittiupstream has certainly ceased to work on it09:18
seb128right, I would really got the split in natty09:18
seb128we will go gi next cycle09:18
seb128seems that ported gwibber to gi now is calling for extra work and issues09:19
seb128that "porting"09:19
pittigwibber is quite large, porting would be quite an issue09:19
pittiand it's a lot harder to port to PyGI gtk2 than to gtk309:19
pittigtk3 pretty much just works now, but gtk2 is still a bit of a pain09:19
pittijust one week ago I committed http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-24&id=6e178a69fc73b45f66fc511f7a274b8fefc2e2e7 which fixes more stuff (not even in natty yet), but we'll keep running into those09:20
pittichrisccoulson: so, I'm happy to help out with some bits09:21
pittijust not today; I really need to take "off" today to catch up with bureaucracy, I need to do the brainstorm review for tech board and the performance review stuff09:22
pittichrisccoulson: for gtk-vnc and friends, do you think it's cleaner to build against ffox-dev or copy headers? the latter sounds very .. unelegant09:23
* pitti fixes a broken crash bug and restarts the amd64 retracer09:24
chrisccoulsonpitti - we can build againt firefox-dev, but other npapi plugins (eg, totem) already include their own headers09:36
chrisccoulsonnpapi is cross-browser, so depending on firefox or xulrunner is quite a heavy dependency just to build a browser plugin09:36
chrisccoulson(a plugin which will work in any browser, too)09:36
pittichrisccoulson: what happens if e. g. ffox 5 changes the API/ABI? with firefox-dev it would fail to build, with header copies it would crash; the former seems better?09:36
pittior is npapi basically stable?09:37
chrisccoulsonpitti - npapi is pretty stable (i don't think it's changed for a long time)09:37
chrisccoulsonthat would break things like flash09:37
pittichrisccoulson: ok; my gut feeling is still that ffox-dev is better, if for nothing else than to avoid code copies?09:37
chrisccoulsonyeah, we can do09:37
chrisccoulsonas long as people are aware that we don't need to rebuild these plugins when we do a major firefox update09:38

pittichrisccoulson: I'll leave the evaluation of the libreoffice tasks to Sweetshark09:45
pittichrisccoulson: libmozjs is also a stable sub-API of xulrunner? i. e. it's by and large just a splitout?09:45
chrisccoulsonpitti, cool, thanks09:45
chrisccoulsonpitti - libmozjs isn't terribly stable, which is the motivation for decoupling it from the firefox release schedule (and upstream are even going to provide release tarballs for that too)09:46
chrisccoulsonthe official release tarballs just won't get the same frequency of updates as firefox09:46
chrisccoulsonie, we'll be able to support it for a LTS without needing to upgrade it09:47
pittichrisccoulson: for icedtea, that sounds like it wouldn't need the firefox bits at all, and just globally disable the xpcom stuff (which happens now anyway?)09:47

kmanzooris Hardy Heron still supported ? i checked this on wikipedia. On kubuntu page it said it is not spported but on the ubuntu page it is mentioned that it is still supported.  I want to install the restricted extra - meaning i want to have the adobe flash. Should i upgrade all the way to 9.10 or i can keep on running Hardy Heron ?11:50
mterrykmanzoor, it is still supported on Desktop until April11:58
mterrykmanzoor, server for longer11:58
kmanzoori am using desktop11:59
rodrigo_hmm, just upgraded and I get 'C++ compiler cannot create executables' error on configure11:59
mterrykmanzoor, but if you were to upgrade, I wouldn't recommend 9.10, you can jump right to 10.04, the new LTS11:59
rodrigo_any idea if g++ is broken or something?11:59
mterrykmanzoor, but this isn't the best channel anyway.  for support questions like that, try #ubuntu12:00

seb128hey cyphermox12:19
seb128how are you?12:19
cyphermoxseb128, doing alright12:19
seb128cyphermox, did you get any upstream comment about your gnome-media work? I noticed the merge request but I'm not sure to understand enough about it to have an opinion12:20
cyphermoxseb128, no I didn't yet. I should go poke somebody on gimpnet I guess12:20
seb128did you file it on gnome-media or gnome-control-center?12:21
seb128did that code move to g-c-c this cycle?12:21
cyphermoxI think so yes12:21
seb128did you file it on g-c-c?12:22
cyphermoxseb128, the best way to understand what is going on is to start mumble without an external mic, then plug one in and try to switch the input device from gnome-volume-control, not mumble12:22
seb128it's likely that nobody is reading gnome-media bugs, they do read g-c-c ones though12:22
cyphermoxno, you're right, I filed it against gnome-media, 2.32 or whatever12:22
seb128try moving it to g-c-c12:22
cyphermoxseb128, yeah12:22

seb128GunnarHj, *language is a pointer pointing to nothing12:25

chrisccoulsonthat check is meant to be disabled in firefox anyway12:38

seb128that's what the capplet does12:38
chrisccoulsonseb128 - actually, i'm wondering whether we ever did. perhaps we only see it now because the default browser check is enabled12:39

nessitaseb128: I would need your input on the following: you mentioned a while ago that the control panel should have a monochromatic icon in the messaging menu. Turns out that, after some input from tedg, we realized we can't set specific icons for the messaging menu (the same, colorful icon defined in the .desktop file is used for the main menu, the launcher and the messaging entry). tedg says we could do something about it but that 14:58

seb128rickspencer3, no, the one you got was a rebuild, they plan on rolling a new version at end of the day and didrocks will upload early tomorrow14:59
tedgnessita, Yes, please.14:59
didrocksogra_: I relaunched it this morning, still broken14:59
seb128nessita, yes14:59
ogra_didrocks, yeah, i saw that :/14:59
didrocksrickspencer3: well, the list is still opens14:59
rickspencer3I see14:59
rickspencer3didrocks, yeah, so new features and bugs14:59
ogra_(not the rebuild attempt but the kdelibs stuff)14:59
didrocksseb128: I wasn't clear enough on my explanation? :)14:59
didrocksrickspencer3: right15:00
rickspencer3didrocks, if there are too many bugs, can we roll back to what we got last night rather than trying to cram in lots of bug fixes at the last minute?15:00
rickspencer3(for the beta, I mean)15:00
seb128didrocks, <rickspencer3> so is the Unity tonight just a rebuild, or are there new features/bugs as well? -> <didrocks> rickspencer3: juste a rebuild15:00
seb128didrocks, no, that wasn't clear15:00
didrocksrickspencer3: we can reupload the current version, yeah, that will be a shame so15:01
seb128didrocks, tonight's is a new tarball, not a rebuild right?15:01
didrocksseb128: yeah15:01
rickspencer3didrocks, seb128 thanks15:01
didrocksrickspencer3: both nux and unity15:01
rickspencer3and didrocks, right, I don't *want* to roll back, obviously15:01

chrisccoulsonit's not translated ;)15:14
didrockspitti: only in -0ubuntu115:14
cdbschrisccoulson: That's a roadblock? :(15:14
pittididrocks: running dist-upgrade again then15:15
didrockspitti: I uploaded this morning -0ubuntu2 as I got a fix for u-w-d crashes. So I resetted u-w-d by default15:15
chrisccoulsoncdbs - at this stage, yes. and i still need to think about what to do with launcher integration15:15
pittididrocks: (too bad, it works quite well with g-w-d :) )15:15
didrocksheh :)15:15
chrisccoulsonalso, you shouldn't use "firefox" in the desktop.in file. that will break in the nightlies15:15
rodrigo_seb128, yes, pinged cosimoc about the patch, he was going to review it, but bgo is down today, and yes, I fixed the default value thing and the removal of the description in the patch15:15
cdbschrisccoulson: I used it on the final one15:16
cdbschrisccoulson: I mean the -final.desktop.in15:16
pittididrocks: right, new compiz coming in now15:16
chrisccoulsoncdbs, yeah. it should be in all the desktop.in files really, and it shouldn't use "firefox" anywhere in those ;)15:16
cdbschrisccoulson: well, it has to15:17
seb128rodrigo_, ok thanks15:17
chrisccoulsoncdbs, it doesn't. we run all of those files through a preprocessor to substitute the correct values in15:17
chrisccoulsoncdbs, have a look at the Exec= line ;)15:17
cdbschrisccoulson: yes, got it15:17
cdbs@APPNAME@15:18
cdbschrisccoulson: so, after this change you'll accept the debdiff? The translations issue?15:18
chrisccoulsoncdbs, the translations issue really needs to be resolved. we don't get many contributors for the desktop file (it's not translated in launchpad)15:19
chrisccoulsonso, if we upload an untranslated version now, it will almost certainly remain untranslated for final15:19
chrisccoulson(and in any case, i don't want to be doing dozens of firefox uploads to add new translations every couple of days)15:19
pittirodrigo_: thanks for fixing the evo bug! I can sponsor this15:20
rodrigo_pitti, ok, thanks15:20
cdbschrisccoulson: okay, fine. I am withdrawing the debdiff. Feel free to close the bug15:20

pittiseb128: ah, eog adds multitouch, I'll skip that (FFE, and previously discussed to only go in PPA)15:25
seb128pitti, ok, they raised it yesterday, they had a dual binary build which added a new variant for universe15:26
pittior that15:26
seb128pitti, but we agreed on either getting a ffe and patching the main binary or use a ppa for natty15:26
seb128pitti, no, not "or that"15:26
seb128pitti, they need the build-depends in main anyway, so they need it promoted15:27
pittiah, ok; so PPA then for natty, as before15:27

robert_ancellmust be getting near release, 'cause you guys are awake at crazy times22:29
pittihehe22:29
seb128pitti, I did uncommit and push --overwrite for gvfs22:29
pittiseb128: ack22:29
seb128robert_ancell, ^ if you have a gvfs checkout do pull --overwrite22:29
seb128robert_ancell, you screwed it by not using merge-upstream, the new version diff got reverted in the packaging by the source v322:29
pittirobert_ancell: same for gtk-vnc; I fixed the branch now22:30
seb128robert_ancell, and yeah, having a few sources in different format is confusing22:30
robert_ancellseb128, you always have to do a pull --overwrite?22:30
seb128robert_ancell, not always, but for gvfs merge-upstream wouldn't run on your broken commit so I did uncommit, revert and did it properly22:31
seb128robert_ancell, but it means the official vcs diverted from your version22:31
seb128if you just pull it will get confused22:31
pittirobert_ancell: same for gtk-vnc, please pull --overwrite, as I had to do the same22:31
robert_ancellwell, I'm certainly confused22:31
seb128robert_ancell, you handled it like it was debian dir only in the vcs22:32
pittirobert_ancell: about --merge-upstream or --overwrite?22:32
seb128where it's full source22:32
robert_ancellI'm a little worried how flaky UDD seems to be22:32
seb128robert_ancell, in full source checkouts you need to bzr merge-upstream tar.gz22:32
robert_ancellI always just (intend to) do a merge-upstream22:32
pittiit's actually not flaky, just different22:32
seb128robert_ancell, bzr merge-upstream ../gvfs... --version ...22:32
seb128robert_ancell, it will commit the code update in your checkout22:33
seb128robert_ancell, your commit had only a debian dir update22:33
pitti(not actually commit yet, just update)22:33
robert_ancellpitti, it seems very easy to confuse it - I tried to do a merge-upstream on libnotify4, and it complained there was no upstream-*oldversion* tag.  But the log showed there was22:33
pittiafter that you do dch, and debcommit the thing22:33
seb128robert_ancell, well, not all checkout are using merge-upstream format22:33
pittirobert_ancell: I think it relates that to the pristine-tar branch22:33
seb128like autoimports are not22:33
pittiseb128: they do22:34
seb128ok, I ran into broken cases as well then22:34
pittiall lp:ubuntu/pkgname branches have pristine-tar, full source, and thus --merge-upstream22:34
pittiseb128: yeah, sometimes22:34
seb128we had cases were we had to tag it manually to start or to convert them to work22:34
didrocksseb128: sorry, was testing compiz respawn in a guest session22:35
seb128but those were old dx vcs I think; so maybe not autoimports22:35

RAOFseb128: What do you want to know about that bug?22:48
didrocksthe new patch I just uploaded works way better now22:48
pittiTheMuso: it has a hard dependency on the arch:all -data package22:49
TheMusoright22:49
pitti(I guess it wouldn't need to)22:49
seb128RAOF, I guess 1- would be "do you think that's something that need to be adressed for natty"22:49
pittiI rescored the builds now22:49
TheMusoWorth looking into.22:49
seb128RAOF, and if the reply is "yes" the second would be "what do you recommend doing"22:49
seb128pitti, ^ interested by your opinion as well22:50
pittiseb128: I read the summary, but I'm afraid I know too little about this stuff to have an opinion?22:50
seb128pitti, well it's basically due to cairo being built with the unstable gl backend for wayland22:51
seb128pitti, so one option would be to roll that out and keep wayland in a ppa for natty22:51
seb128pitti, though bryceh put efforts to get it in universe and didn't seem happy about the though22:51
TheMusopitti: Actually, libatk1.0-data is interesting, as it only contains locale data, which of course is stripped out to be included in language packs.22:51
TheMusoSo at the end of all that, libatk1.0-data only contains doc files.22:52
pittiTheMuso: so we probably could drop the dependency altogether22:52
* TheMuso ponders whether its worth dropping libatk1.0-data, and carrying that change in ubuntu.22:53
RAOFWoah!  IRC lag!22:53
TheMusopitti: Right, I'm pondering that now.22:53
pittiTheMuso: as long as we have some other delta anyway, it might22:53
pittiTheMuso: but don't worry too much about it now22:53
TheMusoI'm not, but certainly something to ponder in the future.22:53
TheMusoI'd say that will be the last atk upload for this cycle.22:53
RAOFseb128: So, it depends on how much we want the gl backend enabled.  I don't think it'd be feasible to work-around this problem for natty.22:54
TheMusoAtk atm doesn't get very frequent upstrea releases.22:54
RAOFseb128: As for whether we should do something about it - it's pretty obnoxious to needlessly bloat the memory size of every process that links to cairo by 5MiB (on amd64 - on i386 apparently this can be as big as 15MiB).22:55
RAOFseb128: So it's “how much do we care about the nvidia binary drivers vs. how much do we care about cairo-gl”22:56
seb128RAOF, do you have any better suggestion than roll back on cairo gl and put wayland in a ppa for natty?22:56
waltersRAOF: 5MiB writable?22:56
seb128RAOF, well my view on our numbers of nvidia users against wayland users is easy22:56
seb128RAOF, but I don't want to undermine the efforts put on wayland or get in the way of other people work22:57
seb128so it turns to be rather a political decision than a technical one to me now22:57
RAOFseb128: Longer term this could probably be solved by having cairo dynamically load backends on use, but that's not feasible for natty.22:57
seb128like the technical decision seems obvious22:57
=== cdE|Woozy is now known as woozy
=== woozy is now known as woozy_
pittiI agree22:58
seb128RAOF, right, I'm just suggesting rolling back on cairo-gl for natty and putting back when we open next cycle22:58
pittibryceh: as this touches you most, what do you think?22:58
bryceh:-(22:58
RAOFYeah.  I think that's the most sensible solution.22:58
=== woozy_ is now known as cdE|Woozy
pittibryceh: it's a pretty big setback, I agree, but if we can't solve that :(22:59
RAOFwalters: 5MiB dirty.22:59
waltersouch22:59
brycehpitti, it seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater23:00
RAOFMore ouch is someone reported 15MiB dirty (for *gnome-terminal* )23:00
brycehfor as much effort as it took to get this in, it's really disappointing.  It's going to make people think, "Oh, yeah wayland really isn't ready, I won't look at it for another 6 months"23:01
pittibryceh: that's why I'm asking -- better ideas much welcome23:01
RAOFWell, we *could* ask nvidia why they're dirtying so much memory in their libGL.23:01
pitticould we build two libcairo libraries, one with gl, the other without, and have wayland depend on the gl-enabled one?23:01

seb128see you kenvandine23:03
seb128yeah, I will in a bit23:03
kenvandinewe'll have fallout to deal with tomorrow :-D23:03
brycehpitti, it seems like a chicken and egg situation...  before anyone will start porting gtk and making apps work, you have to show wayland works and is packaged and ready; but we're kicking it out because there's no apps to use on it23:03
* kenvandine hopes not23:03
kenvandinejcastro, thx for testing23:04
brycehpitti, anyway, I guess if no one else cares about wayland, just kick it out.  Some day we can look at wayland again I guess.23:04
pittibryceh: two cairo variants wouldn't work for that?23:04
brycehpitti, afaik it would23:04
RAOFCan we actually make two cairo variants work?23:04
seb128bryceh, it's not that no one care, it just seems the cost is higher than the benefit for natty23:05
brycehI was maintaining a forked libcairo in a ppa previously but it was a PITA to keep it up to date with libcairo changes in trunk.  I don't really want to have to do that23:05
RAOFActually, I guess we could quite easily.23:05
pittiwe would need a libcairo2 (without GL) and a libcairo2-gl, and update the shlibs accordingly23:05
pitti$ apt-cache rdepends libcairo2|wc -l23:05
pitti118523:05
seb128well the issue is that gtk etc depends on libcairo223:05
pittihm, that's a whole lot of package rebuilds, though :/23:05
seb128that and provides are not versionned23:05
pittiseb128: another trick would be libcairo2-gl depending on libcairo2, and diverting the library23:06
pittithat would avoid a mass rebuild23:06
seb128bryceh, well maintaining a ppa during an unstable cycle or for a stable distro is not the same work, natty will not likely got a lot of cairo uploads23:06
RAOFWe could throw libcairo2-gl somewhere else; it's only used for wayland at the moment.23:06
seb128we will put it back when next cycle start23:06
pittiRAOF: wouldn't the actual apps need it as well?23:07
pittiRAOF: I can't believe that _only_ wayland would need libcairo23:07
pittibryceh: no, I don't mean a separate source package, just an additional binary23:07
RAOFpitti: Yeah, but it'd be a matter of LD_LIBRARY_PATHing for binaries in a single package.23:07
RAOFpitti: For natty, and then we fix it properly for O.23:08
seb128right, having wayland sessions tweaking the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or doing some LD_PRELOAD should work23:09
pittiseb128: i. e. libcairo-gl would install an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-libcairo-gl.conf ?23:10
pitti(to ensure that it comes first)23:10
seb128pitti, wayland would23:10
seb128or libcairo-gl23:10
pittiseems more robust than setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH23:10
seb128either would work23:10
pittiseb128: I think libcairo-gl, as it knows where it installs itself23:11
seb128pitti, well, you don't want to preload the gl backend under xorg23:11
seb128do you?23:11
pittiseb128: well, it'd only happen if you install libcairo-gl, and then you actually might want it?23:11
seb128hum, fair enough23:12
seb128that would work for me23:12
pittibut I'm not fussed about wayland setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or using ld.so.conf.d23:12
RAOFYeah.  It's quite concievable that X apps might want to use cairo-gl for their own nefarious purposes.23:12
seb128well the easier would be to keep in a ppa for this cycle, maintaining a stable ubuntu ppa is not a lot of work23:12
seb128it's likely less work that changing cairo to double build binary and wayland to preload things23:13
AmaranthRAOF: latest mesa uploads to edgers appear to have fixed my issues with sandy bridge and unity23:13

chrisccoulson(like pkg-config files etc)23:17

pittichrisccoulson: I wanted to get gtk-vnc out of the way, and now at least ensure that atk builds everywhere, to unblock python-gtkspell, gnome-media, and other uploads23:19
RAOFseb128: Yeah, we should do that.  bryceh - you've got more direct contact with the nvidia guys, want to do that?  Or should we ask Alberto to mention it?23:19

chrisccoulsoni'm just about to test couchdb against libmozjs now23:19
pittibryceh, seb128, RAOF: so are we in agreement with the libcairo-gl multi-build solution? (and adding that new dependency to wayland)23:20
brycehRAOF, alberto works with them a bit more closely but yeah I can take care of sending a notice about it23:20
seb128pitti, I'm fine with it, I think it would be easier to just have a cairo build in a ppa for natty than rewritting the packaging to drop it in a few weeks but I can understand some people prefer to keep wayland in universe23:21
brycehpitti, I think that sounds like a great compromise23:21
seb128i.e I will be ok with anything that solve the issue for the default install23:21
RAOFbryceh: We could probably leave it up to Alberto; it's not urgent.23:23

* bryceh shuts down for some hardware futzing23:44
RAOFIt's not a bug in cairo-gl.23:45
RAOF*Any* app which links against nvidia's libGL gets the memory usage.23:46
