RAOFchrisccoulson: What are you doing up :)  Isn't it like 2am Sunday or something?00:00
* RAOF pulls from bzr.00:00
chrisccoulsonheh, it's not quite that late for me just yet ;)00:02
chrisccoulsonit's midnight here now00:02
chrisccoulsoni'm all messed up tonight because of daylight saving00:03
* bryceh waves00:06
RAOFbryceh: Good morning.00:07
RAOF / evening.00:07
RAOFAt least unity gets respawned after crashing now.00:11
brycehhey RAOF00:13
brycehRAOF, by chance have you poked through fedora's patches to see if they have anything interesting we're missing?  (guessing there isn't anything major)00:14
RAOFbryceh: I haven't, but I'd be willing to go digging today5.00:16
brycehRAOF, great, yeah00:17
brycehRAOF, also dunno if you saw the discussion but sarvatt noticed friday that ia32-libs has an old snapshot of mesa in it00:23
brycehand he's pinpointed that at least some of the sandybridge gpu lockups on amd64 are caused by that00:23
RAOFbryceh: That's probably because yokozar hasn't refreshed it yet.00:23
brycehso now I'm wondering what other reported bugs might be due to it00:23
RAOFHm.  Hurray for Oneiric and the obliteration of ia32-libs!00:23
brycehindeed00:23
RAOFOh, man.  If that ends up being the reason why this always crashes…00:36
brycehpotentially I could imagine same issue is at heart of some of the screen corruption issues00:37
RAOFProtip: C++ does not implicitly initialise member variables to 0.  If you're going to use null as a guard value before calling into a pointer, initialising it to NULL in the constructor makes it less likely to crash by calling off to a random memory address :/00:46
brycehyep00:47
brycehC doesn't do that either afaik?00:47
RAOFNo, it does not.00:47
RAOFWell, except for static variables.00:47
brycehRAOF, aha it's due to missing support for >4096x4096 render targets on arrandale01:05
brycehSarvatt, ^^01:05
RAOFWho'se rendering to >4096x4096 targets?  (Apart from my LCD's now broken EDID suggesting it's that big)01:06
brycehRAOF, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3568201:06
ubot2Freedesktop bug 35682 in Drivers/DRI/i965 "[Arrandale] support for >4096x4096 render targets" [Major,New]01:06
RAOFModes: 3840x1080…  Why don't I have one of those? :)01:08

rickspencer3robert_ancell, TheMuso, RAOF,  jasoncwarner, happy Monday01:37
robert_ancellrickspencer3, Happy Monday to you too!  Welcome to the future!01:37
rickspencer3aah01:37
rickspencer3I'm in the airport waiting to fly to London, so I am really in the land of no time01:37
rickspencer3robert_ancell, how's natty looking for you?01:38
robert_ancellrickspencer3, on and off unstable, I haven't tried the Beta release yet.  I'm going to do a fresh install when we get the cd image01:40
rickspencer3hmmm01:40
rickspencer3robert_ancell, it's really stable for me, and even the dash is working really well01:40
robert_ancellrickspencer3, are you going to do an update of you spiderweb (?) diagram01:40
rickspencer3robert_ancell, yeah01:40
rickspencer3it's actually kinda time consuming, and tbh, I didn't really realize anyone looked at it ;)01:41
rickspencer3but that's kinda why I'm asking, except for accessibility, Natty is working well for me on both 'puteres01:41
robert_ancellI get alt-tab crashers, and have had general problems.  I'm using radeon, which sounds like it has the most problems.  The dash has always been slow for me, and I don't really find it useful01:41
robert_ancellI love the panel and the fullscreening though01:41
rickspencer3robert_ancell, so, now I can do Meta key, type a few letters, hit enter01:42
rickspencer3apps launch really fast this way01:42
rickspencer3you're not having a similar experience, it sounds like01:42
robert_ancellrickspencer3, yeah, but I'm not sure if that's useful for standard users.  I feel like it's really hard to work out what applications are available01:43
rickspencer3robert_ancell, interesting01:43
rickspencer3because there are no categories?01:43
robert_ancellyes01:43
rickspencer3someone should make a categories place01:43
robert_ancellI think someone did, I'm sure I saw one on OMG01:43
rickspencer3interesting01:44
rickspencer3but yeah, I guess you only get a list of all your apps01:44
robert_ancellinterestingly, I had the same experience when first using OSX, I wonder if they consider it to be a bad thing01:44
robert_ancellAlso, the three types of find apps on the dash seems very confusing.  I'd really only expect one...01:45
rickspencer3huh01:45
rickspencer33 types of apps?01:45
robert_ancellI get "Find Media Apps", "Find Internet Apps" and "Find More Apps"01:46
rickspencer3oh, right01:46
rickspencer3well, you can choose "applications" from the lanucher01:46
rickspencer3and you get mfu, installed, available for install01:46
robert_ancellAnd I just think, Uh, I just want some apps, I don't care where they come from!01:46
rickspencer3aha!01:47
rickspencer3you can filter by type!01:47
rickspencer3it's hard to find01:47
rickspencer3if you click on "find more app"01:48
rickspencer3in the upper right you can filter by category01:48
rickspencer3robert_ancell, we should get your alt-tab crashers fixed01:49
robert_ancellrickspencer3, I haven't restarted since dist-upgrading, It may have gone :)01:49
rickspencer3that would be nice01:49
robert_ancellIt tends to toggle between upgrades01:49
rickspencer3well, there shouldn't be any new features, so there shouldn't be any more toggling for the rest of the cycle01:50

brycehchrisccoulson, good, just facebooking about this weekend's woodworking project07:45
chrisccoulsonnice! it seems like you had a productive weekend :)07:47
brycehchrisccoulson, yep and had an old college friend and his family over, had fun and our kids had lots of time to play and wear each other out07:50
pittiGood morning07:50
pittiRAOF: unity crashes about 3 or 4 times at start with various stack traces (reporting my latest one right now), after that it's pretty stable though07:53
RAOFpitti: Well, I hunted down the cause of why unity would crash when opening the dash or right-clicking on any of the launchers and proposed a merge.  Unity hasn't crashed since.07:55
RAOFI'll shout at DBO until the trivially correct fix is merged :)07:55
robert_ancellpitti, hey, has the beta CD been done?07:56
pittihey robert_ancell07:56
RAOFTheMuso: Incidentally, you're running out of time to endorse me for core-dev; the next DMB meeting is 19:00UTC (or, as I calculate it, 6am tomorrow ☺)07:56
RAOF:)07:57
pittirobert_ancell: it's due on Thursday, we don't have test candidates yet07:57
brycehRAOF, \o/07:57
robert_ancellpitti, so, should I upload GNOME releases (e.g. GTK3) or wait until after the CD?07:57
pittiRAOF: nice! my crash of the day is bug 744063, perhaps the trace sounds familiar07:57
pittirobert_ancell: gtk3 is fine, as it's not on the CDs07:58
robert_ancellpitti, and leaf applications like gcalctool?07:59
pittirobert_ancell: we might just keep them in the queue until Thursday08:00
RAOFpitti: Nah, that's not the crash I fixed.  I've seen it, though.08:00
pittirobert_ancell: but you can upload them08:00
robert_ancellpitti, and ok to upload thing like glib-networking/libsoup as well?08:01
* robert_ancell pushes his luck08:01
TheMusoRAOF: ooo right, keeps slipping my mind. Will do it this evening.08:03
RAOFIt's ok if you miss it; I've got a bunch of other endorsements.08:04
TheMusoHrm. Is it just me, or does pressing control + alt + shift maximize windows for others as well? Using compiz.08:10
RAOFNope, not for me.08:11
pittiTheMuso: not here08:15

pittiSweetshark: prima, danke08:32
pittiSweetshark: we'll need to fix some transitional packages in openoffice.org-dictionaries08:33
pittiSweetshark: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/natty_probs.html, scroll all the way down08:33
pittiSweetshark: e. g. openoffice.org-hyphenation-ro depends: hyphen-ro, but hyphen-ro Conflicts: openoffice.org-hyphenation-ro08:34
pittiSweetshark: we need versioned replaces/conflicts here08:34
pittiSweetshark: i. e. Conflicts:/Replaces: openoffice.org-hyphenation-ro (<< 1:3.3.0-2ubuntu1)08:34
pittiSweetshark: hyphen-ro should conflict/replace the older packages which still actually had data/files in it, but it shouldn't conflict to the transitional package08:34
pittiSweetshark: do you have time to fix this, or shall I look into this?08:35
mvo*grumpf* I had no idea that blogging causes that much comment spam, what a mess08:35

mvoaha, cool. it appears the comment section of the post is actually sane, its just that I have a gazillion mails about comment spam in my inbox :)08:37
pittimicahg, chrisccoulson: hm, why do we still build abrowser-branding and firefox-branding?08:40
pittioh, transitionals08:40
pittimvo: there are currently a lot of transitional packages which want to go to universe; I take it we should seed them and keep them in main until the next LTS, right?08:40
mvofor OOo? yeah, that would be good08:41
pittimvo: in general08:41
pittimvo: ok, I'll walk through http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt and seed the transitional bits08:42
mvothanks!08:46
chrisccoulsonhi pitti09:02
chrisccoulsonyeah, we need to keep those transitional packages until after the next LTS, to ensure users who used to have abrowser end up with firefox09:02
pittichrisccoulson: right, noticed a second after saying.. :)09:02
chrisccoulsonhmmm, i think a session restart is needed already09:07

seb128pitti, did you restart the retracers?09:38
pittiseb128: yes, and fixed the chroots09:38
seb128ok thanks09:38
seb128I was just looking at them because it seemed they didn't retrace for a while but they seem to be running09:38
seb128pitti, how are you? ;-)09:39
pittiseb128: I'm quite fine, thanks! currently sorting out natty archive problems09:39
pittiseb128: how about you?09:39
seb128pitti, I'm fine thanks, currently catching up with the weekend emails09:39
seb128;-)09:39
pittiseb128: spent some hours last night with my mother's ipod09:40
pittiseb128: this currently works rather poorly :/09:40
seb128indeed09:40
pittiI don't see it in RB, and nautilus keeps hanging09:40
seb128what generation, type of ipod is that?09:40
pittithe afc:// mounts work09:40
pittiseb128: ipod touch, how do I tell the generation?09:40
seb128no easy way, the format of what they write behind changed, but easier is "when did you buy it"09:41
pittiseb128: she got it from her company for christmas09:41
seb128ok, so likely the most recent one09:41
pitti"Model: PC544FD"09:42
seb128libgpod didn't get any update this cycke and doesn't seem actively maintained09:42
seb128libimobiledevice etc are also not getting lot of work09:42
seb128I would not be surprised if they didn't get what is needed for recent ones09:42
pittiseb128: I get a crash of the udev prober, I'll look at that one at least09:42
seb128ok09:43
pittiit can't identify the ipod as such because of that, this might also be the reason why rb doesn't see it09:43
seb128could be indeed09:44
pittiseb128: is libgpod obsolete in favor of imobiledev?09:56
seb128pitti, no, libgpod is used for the ipod who don't use the afc protocol09:56
seb128which is all the "old" ones, classic, nanos, shuffle09:57
pittiseb128: ah, so this shouldn't even be necessary09:57
pitti(for rb)09:57
seb128right, I think it's not for yours09:57

pittiseb128: what's the current situation with cairo? can I help you with this (sorting out the ldconfig stuff?)10:36
seb128pitti, I've the debdiff from the other day but I need to sit down and think about what to do with the dev10:37
seb128pitti, especially with the .pc paths etc10:37
pittiseb128: it can't be a differently named .pc?10:37
seb128it's easy to drop a lib to use at runtime but I was not sure what to do for builds10:37
seb128pitti, what do you mean? so far I started with a "install the .so in a different dir and the -gl.pc in the dev"10:38
seb128but I'm not sure it will work10:38
pittiseb128: ah, -gl.pc10:38
seb128since applications might use cairo.pc and cairo-gl.pc10:38
pittiseb128: that would require changing the wayland packge to use cairo-gl.pc instead of cairo.pc, right?10:38
seb128but cairo.gl being the libcairo2-dev one it will not point to the right dir10:38
pittioh, there is already a cairo-gl.pc10:39
pittiseb128: woudl that actually matter? for apps which don't use cairo-gl, they can use libcairo2 as well?10:40
seb128pitti, well the wayland configure.ac check for "cairo" and "cairo-gl"10:41
seb128pitti, I'm concerned that builds will not work if they try to resolve symbols from the cairo-gl build10:41
seb128since the cairo.pc will point to /usr/lib10:41
seb128not /usr/lib/cairo-gl10:41
seb128and the .so is a symlink, it will not be changed by the ld hack10:42
seb128I was pondering now do a libcairo2-gl-dev with c,r,p libcairo2-dev and ship all the files rather10:43
pittiseb128: I think in this case libcairo2-gl-dev should ship all .pcs of libcairo-dev, and point to /usr/lib/cairo-gl/10:43
seb128that combined with using --libdir=/usr/lib/cairo-gl10:43
pittiwayland has versioned build-depends, so we'll need some diversions there10:43
pitti(instead of just a provides)10:43
pittihm, no, we could just change the build dep, we'll need that anyway10:44
seb128well10:44
pittiso a mere conflicts: should suffice?10:44
seb128right, just conflicts,replace then10:44
seb128then update wayland to use that one10:44
pitti*nod*10:44
seb128it just starts filling a stack of hacks and that is would be much easier to just dump what we have in a ppa for natty10:45

vuntzyou should have brought it here12:44
desrtit was a bit large for my carry-on12:45
desrtand i don't trust the bag-throwers12:45
vuntzrodrigo_: so yeah, no good suggestion from me :/12:45
rodrigo_vuntz, ok, I'll keep trying other stuff12:46
vuntzrodrigo_: does gdm wait for gnome-session to exit before starting the user session?12:48
rodrigo_vuntz, seems so12:50
rodrigo_vuntz, also, I've added a sleep(10) to g-s-d to try to force the issue, but g-session seems to wait for it to finish12:50
desrtif you think about it, just about any way of gdm telling its g-s-d to quit is going to be asynchronous with respect to the X server12:52
desrteven kill -9...12:52
desrtbecause X doesn't necessarily notice right away that the process is dead12:52
desrtthere are basically two things we can do:12:52
desrt1) have some way to kill g-s-d such that we get a notice that X has definitely recognised that the XSettings provider has been unregistered12:53
desrtor12:53
desrt2) we take the code how it is now and if the registration of the Xsettings manager fails then we pause for a short time and try again12:53
desrt#1 is more correct, but #2 has the advantage that it doesn't introduce additional serialisation where we don't have it right now (thus slowing down login)12:53
rodrigo_desrt, I'm writing a patch to test #212:54
desrt#2 is definitely easiest :)12:54
rodrigo_yeah12:54
desrtin my testing, 1 second of extra sleep is always enough to completely get rid of the bug12:55
desrtbut probably less is required12:55
desrtso sleep for 100ms is probably good if you try for 20 times or something12:56
rodrigo_desrt, I guess we can sleep for 1/2 a second, and do 2 or 3 tries12:56
rodrigo_yes, also12:56
dpmhey what's the best way to fix a string in a patch?. Could someone comment on bug 743928 and explain the submitter how to do it? He usually creates branches to upstream projects to fix them, but I think in this case he might have not done it because he might not have known how this works for fixes to patches in packages12:58
ubot2Launchpad bug 743928 in banshee "Ubuntu patches add untranslated strings" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74392812:58
desrtrodrigo_: there may be a 3rd option12:59
desrtrodrigo_: depends if we can implement some sort of --replace functionality for XSettings12:59
desrti'm not sure how the spec works or if it would allow it13:00
rodrigo_desrt, hmm, I'll have a look13:00
desrtrodrigo_: i'm looking now13:02
seb128rodrigo_, while you are on g-s-d do you know why it doesn't respawn when it crashes? and why some applications drops their theme use but don't get it back when g-d-s is restarted?13:02
seb128desrt, ^13:02
seb128like xchat or nautilus stay without theme until restarted13:02
desrtno.13:02
rodrigo_seb128, if it doesn't respawn, I guess it's because we don't mark it as respawned for gnome-session13:02
pittiSweetshark: (re from lunch)13:03
rodrigo_as for the apps not getting back the theme, no idea really, they should really get it afaik13:03
pittiSweetshark: right, that's the very problem we need to fix :)13:03
pittiSweetshark: hyphen-af must not have an unversioned conflicts/replaces to openoffice.org-hyphenation-af; it needs to be (<< 1:3.3.0-7ubuntu1)13:03
pittiSweetshark: uninstallable openoffice.org is due to main packages depending on universe ones; I'm currently sorting that out13:04
didrocksfta2: since Friday, I have chromium going made with a lot of javascript site, like google reader13:04
pittiSweetshark: do you know whether openoffice.org-hyphenation-lt works? (from ispell-lt source); it currently depends on OO.o, should the package be removed/updated/works as it is?13:05
desrtrodrigo_: the specification doesn't provide an explicit mechanism for replacing the existing settings manager, but from my reading it should be possible to do XSetSelectionOwner to blindly steal it13:05
seb128rodrigo_, the g-s-d .desktop has X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true13:05
pittiSweetshark: ah, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=61756913:05
ubot2Debian bug 617569 in openoffice.org-hyphenation-lt "please rename to hyphen-lt" [Wishlist,Open]13:05
seb128rodrigo_, so I guess g-s-d session registration is broken13:05
desrtrodrigo_: maybe it's not such a good idea, though.  the check for an existing settings daemon is clearly legitimate -- not good to go blindly stomping13:06
rodrigo_desrt, yes, it will conflict with another g-s-d process already running13:06
rodrigo_seb128, hmm, is that only on natty?13:07
seb128rodrigo_, no13:07
seb128rodrigo_, it's nothing new, g-s-d crashes bug we usually get are described are GNOME dropping his theme13:08
seb128or it restarts but the xsettings are not updated13:09
rodrigo_seb128, I guess it might be the same issue as for desrt's bug13:11
seb128yeah13:11
pittiSweetshark: I'll fix ispell-lt to recommend libo | oo.o, this will stop pulling in the oo.o transitional metapacakge and fix the installability report13:11
rodrigo_so let me finish this (hopefully) fix, and we can test in both situations13:11
rodrigo_although I'm having lunch 1st, bbiab13:11
seb128it could be that it thinks that a settings manager is still running when respawned13:12
rodrigo_seb128, yes13:12
seb128rodrigo_, enjoy!13:12
rodrigo_thanks :-)13:12
desrtrodrigo_: so an idea13:12
desrtrodrigo_: you could check the _NET_WM_PID property of the existing selection owner13:12
desrtand if it is set, use it to 'check on' the process with this PID for 'signs of life'13:12
desrtie: not a zombie or something13:13
rodrigo_yes, will try that also13:13

seb128oh? which one?13:25
pittiwouldn't the correct response have been "there are no gtk bugs"?13:26
seb128pitti, ;-)13:26
mterryseb128, a bug that I found via indicator-datetime.  I haven't reported it yet, working on the smaller test case.  Note if you use the indicator-datetime prefs that if you are selecting a location in the locations dialog, it won't work if your mouse is hovering over the completion popup window13:26

mterryseb128, mpt, I guess the desired result is to blank out the entry when they do that?15:13
mterryor just ignore the press is probably better15:13
mptmterry, how about completing to the first suggestion if there are any, or if there aren't, ignore the keypress entirely and keep editing.15:14

seb128well the thing is that it's not obvious you will get suggestions15:15
seb128I can type london and enter before getting any there15:15
mptseb128, in that case the keypress would do nothing, and then a fraction of a second later the menu would appear15:15

tedgmterry, Yeah, it seems so.  I'll have to bisect it a bit.18:14
tedgmterry, It's a good place to start.18:14
tedgMaybe he meant 125 worked...18:15
pittididrocks: given how close we are to b1, I take it  that the remaining a11y stuff won't get done in time, so should I postpone them and we'll reconsider them for o?18:15
pittididrocks: (TheMuso said that we should better go with classic for some a11y profiles anyway)18:15
didrockspitti: yeah, seems that's the wisest and safest thing to do at this point18:15
seb128ok time for sport and dinner, I will be back later18:16
pittironoc: do you think you can do the rb->banshee upgrade testing this week in time for beta-1? (at that time a lot of people will upgrade)18:20
ronocpitti, sure I'm pretty happy with it now, Banshee are about to release 1.9.6 into natty, once that lands18:21
ronocI'll give it a run through18:21
pittironoc: ok, sounds like postponing to b2 then18:21
ronocpitti, the only thing really I had to test was that the player behaves properly with the menu, there was a task for jcastro to check if the tracklist importer was working as expected18:23
ronocpitti, i guess this is pretty important for task labelled as such18:24
pittididrocks: "get some plugins to be linked statically" (for compiz) -> is there still work needed there, or is it what it is now?18:24
didrockspitti: it should, but it depends on Sam's work and realistically, it won't be there18:25
pittididrocks: and it's an optimization, not functionality, right?18:26
didrockspitti: yeah18:26
pitti[smspillaz] implement improved borders & shadows (phase 2): INPROGRESS18:26
pittihm, isn't that done now?18:26
didrocksdon't know what's the phase 2  :/18:26
ronocguys anyone know who is the maintainer for clementine ?18:27
jcastroronoc: QA's going to write a test for the importer, and upstream hasn't had any bugs filed on it in a while, so I think it's good to go.18:27
pittididrocks: setting to done for now; they changed not too long ago, and now is UIF and all that anyway18:28
pitti[smspillaz] polish dialog and MT functionality: INPROGRESS18:28
pittithat's also open from alpha-3, dropping18:28
didrockspitti: smspillaz won't have the time to do that18:28
ronocjcastro, good stff18:28
ronocstuff even18:28
pittididrocks: right, postponing to o18:29
ronocjcastro, do you know who packages clementine for ubuntu?18:29
didrockspitti: thanks :)18:29
jcastroronoc:  -- Artur Rona <ari-tczew@ubuntu.com>18:30
ronocjcastro, ah thanks18:30
dpmhey kamstrup, I'm now generating docs weekly from the giraffe output and have the links on the d.u.c. server http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ ;-) did you have any luck talking to the vala guys re: that bug whereby the generated gir files were not correct (they had too many entries of the same type under a record, IIRC)?18:37
pittiSweetshark: yay! http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/natty_probs.html18:38
pittiSweetshark: all oo.o stuff gone (except transitional on arm), thanks18:38
dpmkamstrup, I'm basically using a workaround for the unity docs18:38

mterrytremolux, are there any known bugs about not being able to click on anything in software-center except for the sidebar?20:43
tremoluxmterry: hmm, I don't think there are20:43
tremoluxmterry: what'd you do??20:43
* tremolux looks accusingly at mterry20:44
mterrytremolux, it probably doesn't like deja-dup being installed  :)20:44
mterrytremolux, accents stopped input processing20:44
tremoluxmterry: wha??20:44
mterrytremolux, just joking about all the other deja-dup related bugs20:44
tremoluxmterry: yeahhh20:44
tremoluxmterry: so you can select items in the sidebar, and does that change the view?20:45
=== aquila1 is now known as warp10
mterrytremolux, it's an invisible input window in the middle of the screen20:45
mterrytremolux, only with software-center20:45
mterrytremolux, if I move the window around, I can click on parts of it20:46
tremoluxmterry: ah!  listen, I had that happen for about a day!20:46
mterrytremolux, yeah, it does change the view.  But then I can only click on the view contents if I move the window to be out from under the invisible input window20:46
tremoluxmterry: and, it's not just software-center, it's everything20:46
mterrytremolux, but here, it's just software-center.  If I switch to another window, it's gone20:46
tremoluxmterry: yeah, a big empty "dead space" square in the middle of the screen20:46
tremoluxmterry: oh really?  when I saw it, it affected my editor, firefox, thunderbird...hrm hrm20:47
tremoluxmterry: I assume you are fully up to date?20:47
mterrytremolux, it's even outside the window.  Like I can't click on the titlebar and drag it if it'ss under the invisible window20:48
mterrytremolux, yeah20:48
tremoluxmterry: right20:48
tremoluxmterry: try switching to another workspace and see if an app there has the problem20:48
mterrytremolux, nope, all clear20:48
tremoluxmterry: tho... I dunno20:48
mterrytremolux, so do you want this on software-center (only software affected, and persists even after close/restart of s-c) or compiz with note about software-center-uniqueness?20:49
tremoluxmterry: good question, I guess I really don't think it's a problem in software-center specifically20:50
tremoluxmterry: when it happened to me, I checked for such a bug in compiz and other places, but found nothing20:51
tremoluxmterry: and it cleared on my next update, so I thought it was either fixed or...sunspots  :/20:51
tremoluxmterry: but as I said, for me, it affected all apps20:52
tremoluxmterry: and it did persist across reboots20:52
tremoluxmterry: so you pull another app in front of software-center, and the dead zone isn't there?  bring s-c back, and it is there, correct?20:53
tremoluxmterry: fwiw, I haven't seen any reports of this in incoming s-c bugs yet20:54
mterrytremolux, right20:55
mterrytremolux, OK, will file against compiz20:55
chrisccoulsonricotz, you're probably good to make your gjs build use the libmozjs package now if you like20:55
tremoluxmterry: k, thanks, and I will watch for any reports of this20:55
chrisccoulson(i think you were asking a few days ago)20:55
chrisccoulsonnothing is going to change much now, although we might add a pkg-config file20:56
tremoluxmterry: oh, and plz tell me the bug so I can follow it (or subscribe me if you want to)20:58
ricotzchrisccoulson, i see, i think i wait for the pkg-config file first, gjs should be changed first then which is in the natty repo, and then gnome-shell can be patched to use it21:01
ricotzchrisccoulson, this spidermonkey version is the current firefox4 one, right?21:02
chrisccoulsonricotz, yes, with some small changes21:04
chrisccoulsonricotz, the tarball release of mozjs has this change in which firefox doesn't have: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63020921:06
ubot2Mozilla bug 630209 in JavaScript Engine "Unsafe usage of JS_Compile*/JS_ExecuteScript in shell and tests" [Normal,New]21:06
chrisccoulson(which is an API break)21:06
chrisccoulsonbut it's a small one21:06
chrisccoulson(JSScript is not public anymore)21:06
mterrytremolux, now s-c is unresponsive and grayed out...  how do I get a trace from it in this state?21:07
chrisccoulsoni guess that walters already knows about that though21:07
mterrytremolux, if i force-kill it, will that cause apport to prompt me?21:07
ricotzchrisccoulson, ok21:07
tremoluxmterry: I'm not sure it will21:07
waltersi didn't actually21:08
mterrytremolux, is there a trick I can do?21:08
tremoluxmterry: I'm usually running from the terminal, so I can interrupt it and see where it's hung up21:08
tremoluxmterry: I don't know of one actually when it's launched normally  :(21:09
tremoluxmterry: unless it writes something out to ~/.cache/software-center/software-center.log ..21:09
tremoluxmterry: nah, I wouldn't think it would21:10
ricotzwalters, is this used by g-s?21:10
mterryoh well21:10
waltersi haven't actually tried gjs against the split release21:11
chrisccoulsonwalters, do you use JS_CompileScript/JS_DestroyScript?21:11
tremoluxmterry: if you know how you got that hang, you could start again from the terminal, but my guess is it will be hard to repro21:11
walterschrisccoulson: yeah, but only for /usr/bin/gjs21:12
waltersi will look at the bug21:12
mterrytremolux, yup.  :-/   subscribed you to bug 74453321:13
ubot2Launchpad bug 744533 in compiz "Invisible input window over software-center" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74453321:13
ricotzwalters, alright21:13
tremoluxmterry: thx!  so, you mention "dreaded invisible input" window, so, is that the symptom of that?  it's not over the full screen, just an area in the center?21:15
mterrytremolux, correct.  it's roughly 650x500 pixels21:15
tremoluxmterry: ah, so that's what I had then, sounds like the dimentions I saw also21:16
tremoluxmterry: so is that bug fixed now?21:16
tremolux(dimensions, heh)21:16
mterrytremolux, which one?  the "dreaded" one?  If it was a while ago, then yes.  That one tended to start at (0, 0) -- i.e. the top left corner -- though.21:17
tremoluxmterry: ah, ok, yeah, so what I saw was what you are seeing, it seems21:17
mterrytremolux, the invisible input window has come up a few times.  But I thought we'd seen the last of it a while ago21:17
tremoluxmterry: right21:18
tremoluxmterry: btw, I found that I couldn't mouse/trackpad scroll either if I had the cursor sitting over the "dead area"21:19
mterrymakes sense, yeah21:20
mterrythose come in as button presses21:20
