pittikenvandine: refresh interval> I think that's below the FFE treshold08:18
pittii. e. just do it08:18
pittiSweetshark: moin moin!08:18
seb128nice to get a good night, I'm feeling better today ;-)08:18
pittiseb128: oh, you were sick?08:19
seb128no, I just did a 3am hacking night on tuesday and I feeled tired yesterday08:19
seb128I played with GNOME3 yesterday08:20
seb128some things there are nice, and it's nice looking out of the padding and spacing which is a bit over what it should be08:21
seb128but I really miss a launcher easily accessible, having to switch to the activity view doesn't work well for me, I also miss a background and an easy way to access my files, downloads, etc08:21
pittiseb128: sounds very similar to my experience yesterday  indeed08:22
seb128I'm not impressed by the new control center though08:22
seb128like you get on specific configuration pages from different ui parts like indicator08:23
seb128with the first button in the dialog being a "go back to other settings"08:23
pittiyes, I've seen it08:23
seb128which when you click send you on the control-center grid where you didn't come from without an obvious way to get back where you were08:23
seb128the background capplet is weird as well08:24
seb128the pictures are like 10x10 pixels images on a sidebar08:24
seb128but otherwise performances seemed fine and I like the look08:25
seb128well it's a nice start, I'm waiting for 3.2 ;-)08:25
desrtseb128: too black for my tastes :)08:26
seb128hey desrt08:26
desrthey08:27
desrtinteresting point you make about the control centre btw... i hadn't considered that08:27
seb128I think getting ride of the desktop before giving an easy access to your files is a mistake though08:27
desrtya.....08:27
desrtgnome-tweak-tool lets you turn that back on08:27
seb128I can see lot of users getting angry over that08:27
desrtseb128: or the minimise button :)08:27
seb128I didn't miss that one ;-)08:28
seb128I also noticed that I got used to the unity launcher, I really missed not having one with shell yesterday08:28
seb128if you are in lazy mode with an hand on the mouse it's less convenient to switch between applications08:28
seb128if you use the keyboard that's less an issue though08:29
desrti find it's even more annoying with the trackpoint... harder to slam that up into the top/left08:29
desrtbut even still, not too annoying08:29
seb128oh08:29
seb128is there a way to add clock locations?08:30
seb128I didn't find how to do it08:30
desrti think it's missing functionality08:30
seb128I like to know what time it is for my co workers when I ping them ;-)08:30
seb128ok08:30
desrti imagine the shell team has a whole laundry list of features that didn't make it in time08:30
desrtwhich is pretty understandable08:30
seb128it is08:30
seb128it's a 3.008:31
seb1283.2 will have those I guess08:31
desrti think we successfully dodged 'kde 4.0' :)08:31
seb128;-)08:31
desrtbut it's still very much .0 indeed08:31
seb128I find the notifications nice as well08:32
ricotzseb128, hi08:37
desrttime for bed, i think08:37
desrtnite08:37
ricotzseb128, did you tested the ppa?08:37
ricotzdesrt, night08:38
ricotzthe gnome-shell 3.0.0.1 deb has a weird problem with the filepermissions in /usr/share/gnome-shell which might be ppa related since it doesnt happen with a local build08:40
seb128hey ricotz, no I downloaded the gnome3.org iso08:40
ricotzmore precisely in /usr/share/gnome-shell/themes08:40
ricotzok08:41
seb128'night desrt08:41
chrisccoulsonseb128 - oh, you're a new gnome-shell convert now are you? ;)08:43
seb128lol08:43
seb128not quite ;-)08:43
seb128though I like the look it's still missing quite some things08:44
chrisccoulsonyeah, it does look quite nice08:45
seb128oh, I also noticed that I got used to have clean dialogs, i.e without menus etc08:45

* pitti hugs seb12809:41
* seb128 hugs pitti09:41
pittiseb128: I just dumped everything that we should do from my POV :)09:41
seb128pitti, btw I don't think moving to an usb image would starting to not care about being rigourous, it would just give us an updated target revisited to nowadays standards09:44
seb128would "mean" starting09:44
pittiseb128: yes, I think 1 GB is a sensible upgrade09:44
seb128like we can realistically ship qt over our current stack09:44
pittiI think available bandwidth certainly grew by the factor 1.4 since 200409:45
seb128it would also mean to get back a bit in a translated world ;-)09:45
seb128pitti, right09:45
pitti(1.4 being 1 GB / 700 MB)09:45
seb128that was my though as well09:45
broderyeah, i think 1G is a reasonable number, but i wonder if it would be better to do something like grow it by 100M every release to make sure we keep thinking long-term09:45
pittiseb128: we just couldn't ship CDs any more, just DVDs09:45
pittibroder: that seems way too fast to me, though09:45
seb128well and iso download is not really an argument09:46
broderpitti: err, sorry - not that it should grow indefinitely09:46
seb128knowing that after a few weeks you get half the iso in sru downloads anyway09:46
pittiwell, I still don't download DVDs, and many other people can't either09:46
broderbut rather that we shouldn't jump immediately from 700M to 1G09:46
pittibroder: ah, right09:46
seb128if we care about downloads we should get delta debs09:46
brodersince i suspect that we will come up with ways to fill 1G rather quickly, and then be in the same position again09:46
pittibroder: I like that09:47
broderpitti: i'll reply on list so it's recorded09:47
seb128I would just jump but fill it with langpacks09:47
seb128then we can argue on tradding langpacks with things worth it09:47
seb128when needed09:47
broderseb128: doesn't that put us in a position of planning regressions down the road for people using those langpacks?09:47
seb128?09:47
pittibroder: only regressions in terms of what you need to download during install09:47
seb128we always tweaked the langpacks we ship09:48
seb128like german and french are on the edge each cycle09:48
broderi suppose as an english-speaking american pig i'm never exposed to that :-P09:48
pittiseb128: we should really start having French or German as "C" strings in applications :)09:52
seb128;-)09:52
didrocks+109:52
didrocks(seems that I switch to ubuntu-desktop IRC channel when it's needed :p)09:53
seb128pitti, though sense (I think it was him) had a nice blog post on the topic this week saying that's it's a disadvantage for english09:53
seb128since the strings are written by hackers and don't get any review, etc as other locales09:53
pittithat's right09:53
pittiand more importantly, in a lot of cases by non-native English speaking hackers :)09:54
seb128btw do you guys have an opinion on whether "classic GNOME" should be similar to 10.10 or to what we have now09:56
seb128or said different if we should have the logo menu and appmenu or if we should go back to the 3 menus without appmenu on the default layout09:57
broderyou mean panel vs. unity-2d?09:57
seb128no, gnome-panel "classic" session default layout09:57
broderoh, hmm...i haven't checked out the current classic environment in a while :)09:57
seb128we switched to use the logo menu rather than the application, places, system one and we added appmenu to be closer from unity since that was the 2d fallback session as well09:59
didrockspeople on the french forum seems surprised when they go to the classic environment to not find the traditional menu09:59
seb128but since we have unity-2d for those who want a 2d session similar to unity10:00
seb128didrocks, right, I think users wait from the classic session to be ...classic ;-)10:00
didrocksagreed with that, I unerstand the 2 rationales though :-)10:00
didrocksunderstand*10:00
broderwith unity-2d, we should never have to show a user the classic environment unless they explicitly opt into it, right?10:01
seb128if unity-2d was on the CD yes10:01
seb128but that's not the case (yet)10:01
broderi'd say that if we get unity-2d on the cd somehow, then someone who specifically asks for classic should get the old-school layout10:02
seb128but we don't for this cycle10:03
broderoh, you're talking about for 12.04? yeah, i don't know for that one10:03
pittiseb128: with GNOME 3 is there actually still a well-defined "gnome 2d" experience?10:11
seb128pitti, still gnome-panel10:11
seb128though they tweaked it a bit to be closer from the gnome-shell layout10:11
pittiseb128: my gut feeling is that gnome-2d session should continue to be what we have now, to avoid jumping back and forth and also to provide a slightly more consistent user experience10:11
seb128pitti, so with appmenu?10:11
pittiyes10:11
pittibut I have no strong opinion about it TBH10:12
pittibut for upgraders we'll reuse the existing config anyway10:12
pittiit took me a fair while to actually see the "new" layout in natty, with a new user10:12
seb128it depends of how we communicate about "classic" though10:13
seb128we don't communicate it as being a 2d session10:13
seb128we called it "classic"10:13
ogra_pitti, do i want overlay scrollbar on netbook ? (just saw your meta upload)10:14
seb128like users say that's what you should use if you like the old GNOME better than unity or g-s10:14
pittiogra_: question for DX, but I guess so10:14
pittiseb128: ah, good point10:15

Sweetsharkpitti: didrocks asked about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/720716 still being fixed. After some failed attempts (it fun to have multiple sets of .desktop files in multiple repositories, some unused) I think I have a solution. How would that be handled wrt to FF and translations?10:34
didrocksSweetshark: chrisccoulson made it for firefox on a wiki page as translation isn't handled by launchpad10:35
didrockshence the fact I pointed that yesterday, you should talk about it with dpm as well :)10:35
chrisccoulsonyes, we have https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Wanted/FirefoxDesktop for firefox10:35
pittiSweetshark: right, it's an UIF issue, and by and large missing translations; I think we should at least collect translations for the more popular languages (Spanish, Portugese, Chinese, and of course French!) before we upload this, as this doesn't have any langpack support10:37
pittiSweetshark: please subscribe u-release and ubuntu-translators to the bug and ask for a UIF, and perhaps point to a wiki page like for firefox10:37
TeTeThi, on Natty I've seen that Lotus Notes uses the global menu, but eclipse doesn't. Can I exclude Notes from the global menu somehow, as it doesn't work that well?10:38

pittiif anyone has a recipe, I'm happy to workon it11:36
seb128pitti, right11:37
seb128pitti, I'm wondering if there is a way we could detect and ignore crash on logout11:37
pittiseb128: can we ask gnome-session somehow? i. e. does it have a shutdown phase or so?11:38
pitti(not that it would be easy to get to that from a kernel context, but that's details)11:38
vuntzpitti: there's a shutdown phase, yes11:38
pittiwe can probably steal the dbus address from the crashed process' environment and query the session dbus11:39
vuntzpitti: there's actually more than one phase for that. But everything after RUNNING means "we're leaving guys"11:39
pittithere's a SessionOver() signal, but that's not of much use in apport11:40
pittiis there a property we can query on org.gnome.SessionManager?11:41

dholbachrodrigo_, so we'll carry it as a distro patch as it's too hard for g-s-d to find out if XRecord is enabled in syndaemon?11:53

seb128Reply-To is a list thing not a mua option13:27
seb128om26er, I'm fine thanks13:28
vishLaney: i think it might be a launchpad mailing list config issue; (where it doesnt set a reply to addy?)13:28
Laneythe list can override it if it wants13:28
seb128om26er, the daily build failed probably, I'm checking that13:28
seb128right, that's another discussion13:28
seb128but doing "reply to list" should do the right thing13:28
Laneybut if it doesn't then the client can set it13:28
seb128the Reply-To just determine if "reply" goes to the submitter or the list13:28
seb128"reply to list" should always work13:29
Laneyit's a user thing13:29
Laneyyou can make 'reply' send replies where you want them to go13:29

seb128Laney, the issue is that some users decide it's fine to Cc the submitter on list replies13:31

seb128om26er, http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/cd-build-logs/ubuntu/natty/daily-live-20110407.log13:31
seb128om26er, seems a casper issue, check on #ubuntu-devel maybe, it's not really desktopish13:31
vishLaney: i think it has something to do with mailiman setting, all mailman mailing lists have the "reply-to" set to the mailing addy, so if we hit "reply" it just goes to mailing list.  but launchpad ML dont, so if we just use "reply" it wont go to list13:32

om26erupdated the kernel now i see busybox13:33
seb128vish, it's a policy decision, that has been argued over several times and some people are on each side, some consider reply should go the submitter and others to the list13:34
seb128om26er, can't you pick the previous one in the grub lists?13:34
om26erseb128, seems older kernel have the same problem, so should be some other thing causing13:35

chrisccoulsonthat won't work on it's own, because it does a gnome-3 check based on the existance of gnome-default-application-properties13:41

chrisccoulsoni had an interesting bug with the thunderbird menu at the weekend. someone installed an extension that caused all of the menu icons to be 510x400 images13:46
chrisccoulsonand sending pixbufs of that size over dbus is pretty painful ;)13:46
chrisccoulsonit sent so much data that the connection was terminated and gdbus aborted thunderbird ;)13:47
chrisccoulsonsome people install some crazy things13:47
kklimondaugh, so there are limits to how much data can dbus handle! ;)13:47
chrisccoulsonkklimonda, i guess so. thunderbird was aborting with "g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting."13:48

seb128the keyboard layout, gnome-bt, ...15:26
kklimondaseb128: yes, they are displayed in the same place (at the bottom of the screen) where notifications are.15:29
seb128kklimonda, right, that's a fallback thing though, none of their official component use it?15:30
kklimondaseb128: yes, notification area is being deprecated in gnome3, but it's still being used by other projects. I'd like to make appindicators dependant on Unity/Unity 2D if possible, to make people complain about one less thing when they hear "Ubuntu". :)15:32
seb128why would indicators depend of unity?15:33
seb128they are displayed fine in KDE and GNOME with the corresponding applet15:33
kklimondaseb128: but it can't be queried at the runtime afaik15:34
rodrigo_oh, bug bot is back!15:34
seb128rodrigo_, right ;-)15:34
rodrigo_cool :)15:34
kklimondaseb128: we could make them depend on some env variable, it doesn't have to be DESKTOP_SESSION15:34
seb128kklimonda, why would they need to?15:34
seb128kklimonda, I'm not sure to understand the issue you are trying to solve15:34
kklimondaseb128: the fallback for appindicators doesn't really bring the original menu back, it just shows the same menu that indicator shows, but using GtkStatusIcon15:36
seb128right15:36
seb128but that's just the default thing15:36
seb128you can overwrite it with a custom handle if you want15:36
seb128that's an upstream decision15:36
seb128if upstream use libappindicator it's up to them to figure if they want a simple fallback or overwrite it in a custom way15:37
seb128there is nothing really unity or Ubuntu specific there15:37
kklimondaseb128: are there examples of applications that use the custom handle to reimplement the old menu?15:37
seb128not that I know about15:37
seb128we mostly spent efforts on the primary use for things we did15:37
seb128not on making fallback behave differently15:38
seb128still it doesn't tell what issue you are trying to solve as an application developper15:38
seb128you are attached to the old systray and want to keep it as a first class citizen even if modern desktop move away from it?15:38
seb128like KDE, gnome-shell or unity don't use it in their design or their components15:39
kklimondaseb128: I'm not really attached to it, but I'm attached to Ubuntu, and getting complains from users that tray behaves differently on Ubuntu made me wonder if we can fix it.15:39
cyphermoxmpt, seems like there's another page that was largely kept up to date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/ConnectionManagerComparison15:39
mptcyphermox, brilliant, thanks15:40
seb128kklimonda, users don't like change, that's probably an issue which will go away as gnome-shell moved away from it for the most part as well15:40
cyphermoxI'll merge my data into it later, but it's very much the same15:40
kklimondaseb128: it's more about Ubuntu as a whole, I'm just concerned about how the choices we make affect the community. Lately all I've been hearing from users is how Ubuntu changes everything, how bad it is for our uses, and how will everyone start recommending Mint.15:40
rodrigo_kklimonda, Mint?15:41
seb128kklimonda, those are small minority which tends to make noise15:41
seb128rodrigo_, it's an ubuntu derivative15:41
TommehOr a Debian derivative.15:41
Tommeh(They do a rolling release based on Debian)15:41
rodrigo_ah, didn't know about it15:41
TommehIn addition to the regular Ubuntu builds. :)15:41
TommehI found the idea quite interesting.15:42
rodrigo_so, I see they have a xfce builkd, a kde one, etc15:43
TommehIndeed15:43
TommehPersonally I thought a lot of the actual difference was in bundling 'non-free' software by default to provide the best out-of-the-box experience.15:44
rodrigo_ah, I see15:44
kklimondaseb128: they may be a minority, I don't argue with that. But they are also our most experienced users, and if we start losing them, Ubuntu as OS will suffer. I'm already seeing sings of it in our LoCo where people are just starting to copy&paste voodoo commands to each other, without understanding them.15:44
mptkklimonda, are there any particular applications these users mention?15:45
mptI'm reviewing indicators in general right now.15:45
seb128kklimonda, well I say that's not worth doing efforts, but those are resistant to changes but them wanting or not desktops are changing and GNOME3 will be as much change as unity is15:45
rodrigo_to be honest, if instead of so many distros, desktops, etc, etc, we all worked together, free software would have today a 90% market share :)15:45
rodrigo_but yes, "linux is about choice"15:45
mptrodrigo_, you could say the same about proprietary software.15:45
rodrigo_mpt, yes, but those are rival companies15:46
mptDitto.15:46
seb128mpt, will we get an hardware indicator or something that handle keyboard layouts and gnome-bt?15:46
seb128mpt, not sure how much of the code we patch will still be there in GNOME3 for those15:46
seb128mpt, it would be better to get a system indicator that patching GNOME component for those15:46
kklimondampt: wrt indicators it's mostly that they don't behave the same as they do in other distributions, even when indicator applet is gone, and app falls back to GtkStatusIcon. But I've had a lengthy discussion with a friend of mine about Unity in general, and he wasn't happy with pushing it so fast to users.15:47
mptseb128, I have a very long list of things I'd like done. That's on it. But nobody works for me. :-)15:47
seb128mpt, ;-)15:47
mptseb128, what's the underlying code for the keyboard layouts in particular? xkb?15:47
Sweetsharkwhom should I subscribe bug 753627 to for advice? "Canonical User Experience and Design Team"?15:47
ubot5Launchpad bug 753627 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "LibreOffice needs an update of the Ubuntu color palette" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/75362715:47
seb128mpt, we patch the gnome-settings-daemon notification area icon, but gnome-shell moved to have the indicator as shell code15:47
mptSweetshark, Paul Sladen15:48
Sweetsharkmpt: thx15:49
seb128mpt, well the notification area code is probably still there for the fallback session but still it would make our job easier to move that to a real indicator than patching GNOME fallback code15:49
kklimondampt: I believe his choice of words was "pushing not finished software, and making users test it, is immoral" and that "FOSS should compete with closed source with stability, engaging users, and getting their trust, and not with features". So yes, he's working with FSF (or rather the Polish counterpart) but he does have a point. What if we gamble with Unity, and lose?15:51
mptseb128, so as I understand it, there are roughly three options, (1) (easiest) port the existing application indicator to the new version of g-s-d; (2) convert the existing application indicator to a basic system indicator; (3) (nicest) implement the full-blown KeyboardSettings spec as a system indicator.15:52

chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks for the comments on the e-mail, i'll take a look in a bit16:17
seb128chrisccoulson, what happened to the email client topic? ;-)16:17
chrisccoulsonseb128 - oh, i'm getting round to it, i'm just trying to get a couple of other issues out of the way first :)16:17
mptkklimonda, then we'd be in a difficult situation. But the indicators work independently from the rest of Unity (as demonstrated by 10.04 and 10.10).16:23
seb128kklimonda, we don't gamble a lot, classic GNOME is still available in the default installation and the same it was in 10.10, gnome-shell is available in a ppa with GNOME3, KDE is available... up to the user to pick16:27
seb128kklimonda, we add options and set on a default one but we don't force anyone to use those16:28
mterrytedg, you doing an indicator-datetime release today?  I have a branch I want to squeeze in if it's not too late16:29
tedgmterry, I am doing one, it's not too late.16:29
tedgFor some reason I'm failing to upload to LP for dbusmenu :-(16:29
mterrytedg, the code to switch timezones when you click one in the menu disappeared from teh codebase, so I'm adding it back in16:30
tedgmterry, Uhm.  wow.  Oops.16:31
mterrytedg, it seems to be because the old code used liboops, so we were like "well, let'd drop that crap", but never added in new shiny code16:33
kklimondaseb128: right, but it is a default option, and that's what most people will see, and what they'll judge. I know that we have to get it tested as much as possible before the next LTS, but if reviews (from both users and bloggers/journalists) indicate that Unity wasn't ready then it's going to be hard to bring back them later, when it's finally ready. I guess what I'd like it is for Ubuntu to16:34
kklimondaslow down, but I know we can't, so I'd like to make LTS releases what people use, and call other releases "tech previews", but that has too many downsides, and knowing all that makes me frustrated, and I don't know what to do. ;)16:34
seb128kklimonda, well unity doesn't feel ready to you? what concerns do you have about current natty?16:34
seb128kklimonda, the plan has been from the start to ship it if ready or to ship the classic GNOME otherwise, that didn't change16:35
kklimondaseb128: the global menu is hidden by default, I have a problem managing my applications when I run more then 10 of them, and some icons are "folded".16:35
seb128well those are small issues16:36
kklimondaoh, and it crashes a lot for me, but I blame nvidia blob for this. :)16:36
seb128the first one is a discovaribility issue16:36
seb128well some people had difficulties managing applications with GNOME16:37
seb128some have with gnome-shell16:37
seb128none of those issues seem real show stopper ones16:37
kklimondaseb128: it's more than just a discoverability issue - when the menu is visible I know where to move the mouse but when it's hidden I first have to show it.16:37
kklimondait makes it harder (or slower) for me to access menu16:38
seb128well you have to learn once where the menu is16:38
seb128then you know where to move the mouse16:38
seb128no?16:38
kklimondaseb128: but when I don't see the "File Edit Help" I don't know where to move it exactly.16:39
seb128oh, I know what you mean16:39
seb128do you use the menus that often?16:40
seb128I almost never use any menu16:40
seb128but yeah, it makes it like 1 second slower to aim maybe when you want to open a menu with the mouse16:40
dobeyin the apps where i have to use the menu often, it's quite annoying. mainly the evolution composer window16:40
kklimondaseb128: I use it quite a lot in Evolution16:40
seb128so maybe we need to tweak the composer bar to have the useful icons16:41
seb128what actions do you miss there?16:41
seb128kklimonda, well those are small usability issues, it's not like GNOME2 didn't have any16:43
dobeymainly i always have to go to the menu to change the page format. it doesn't have a keybinding or icon because it's a radio selection group now, and not a toggle as it used to be16:43
seb128that doesn't mean they are not improvements in new desktops as well16:43
kklimondaseb128: I don't really use toolbar (probably should have).16:44
dobeyi have lots of problems with unity that are much larger issues, but i don't really have time to go into all of them :(16:44

mdeslaurLaney: is the open port daap?20:18
Laneyyes20:18
jcastroLaney: your decision, I was just pointing it out.20:19
LaneyCan't say I've been bothered by startup time :-)20:20
jcastroLaney: I wonder if we can measure how much each plugin affects startup? Also, let's say I load it up, hit play, and all these web-enabled plugins spam my network connection, etc.20:20

LaneyI'd like to do that, and I think upstream would probably be interested too20:21

jcastroif someone is sharing on the network it finds that music20:22
mdeslaurjcastro: I don't seem to have an option to choose if _my_ music is being shared or not...and the open port would seem to indicate it's available to others...or am I missing something?20:23
