raining_I use ubuntu 10.10 x86_6405:02
raining_and I installed ibus-qt405:02
raining_but I cannot use ibus for skype05:03
raining_pls give the solution05:03
TheMusoraining_: Please go to #ubuntu for support.05:13
raining_ok thanks05:18
RAOFSo, I have this theory I want to test.  The only problem is that it requries a kernel recompilation.06:45
RAOFWe would be so much more productive with infinite computation resources :)06:45
pittiGood morning07:23
didrocksgood morning07:24
pittibonjour didrocks07:25
didrockshey pitti, how are you? Still packing? :)07:26
pittididrocks: yeah, still quite a lot to do07:27
didrockspitti: good luck :)07:32
smspillazmorning everyone07:32
pittididrocks: thanks07:33

SweetsharkGood Morning, Desktopers!07:47
pittihey Sweetshark07:47
mvodidrocks: eh, I just had a notification appear on top of my screensaver … is that a known issue?07:47
mvogood morning btw :)07:48
mvo(with compiz of course)07:48
didrocksmvo: hey, not it's not known :/07:48
didrockssmspillaz: maybe a regression from your restack branch? ^^07:48
didrockshey Sweetshark07:48
smspillazdidrocks: likely not07:49
smspillazmvo: stacking issues are known, but they are difficult to debug07:49
mvoI had that a while ago (weeks?) but then it went away07:49
smspillazdidrocks: I doubt the restack branch would do it07:50
mvoright, I'm worried about notification as they may lead to information discoulusre :/07:50
mvo(from IM for example)07:50
didrockssmspillaz: can you have a look with mvo? Still looking at incoming bugs07:50
smspillazmvo: if you could find a way to get compiz into the state there that happens then I can look into it for you07:50
smspillazmvo: I'm aware of the security risks here, but this is partly due to the fact that the screensaver model on linux is completely broken anyhow07:51
mvoI can try to reproduce now, its on this machine soI will be on and off irc07:51
mvosmspillaz: I remember we had similar issue back in the old days and solved it with some slegdehammer approach (but I may be wrong its a long time ago). something like "strcmp(w.name, "gnome-screensaver") ;)07:52
smspillazindeed07:52
smspillazwe could have something like that07:52
mvo(truely ugly though)07:52
smspillazright07:53
smspillazIMO, we should kill gnome-screensaer and move screensaver handling into the window manager07:53
* mvo scratches head - of course, now its no longer reproducable07:54
mvofine with me07:54
RAOFsmspillaz: Or… move both into the compositor, and have it be the display server? :P07:56
smspillazRAOF: sounds like an amazing idea!07:59
smspillazmvo: indeed, it's a very difficult thing to reproduce07:59
smspillazmvo: which sucks, because it makes my life that much harder :)07:59
smspillazRAOF: not having the screensaver and window manager be the same thing is insane08:00
smspillazRAOF: the way the gnome-screensaver ensures that it is on-top of everything is right now is to flood us with restack requests08:00
smspillazit's more cpu taxing for you screensaver to be on than off08:01
smspillazeven if it is just "blank"08:01
vishpitti, didrocks: is making changes like Bug 760656 appropriate for an SRU? … seems like a very odd choice deciding to change the branding after release.. :s  why not just upload the change now?08:20

vishbtw, hi.. ;)08:21
* Sweetshark remembers something ...08:25
didrocksvish: no, don't know why sladen is telling that…08:26
didrocksvish: I already told him it was way too late and risky08:26
didrocksvish: anyway, I didn't set it to the upstream 3.8.12 milestone which makes the authority or SRU on purpose08:27
vishdidrocks: hmm.. yea, either we do it now or we postpone for O..08:27
didrocksvish: even now, we are in hard freeze today08:27
* vish nods08:28
didrocksvish: and I had a quick look at this part of code one week ago, I already told sladen the amount of change was too high (in addition to another UI freeze breakage…)08:28
didrocksseems it doesn't worth it08:28
vishhmm..08:29
fta2seems under unity, the "API mismatch" after an nvidia driver update no longer triggers the please restart thingy like it used to08:30
didrocksfta2: oh really? next time I saw that (one week ago?), it was working08:31
didrocksprevious*08:32
fta2didrocks, my 2 desktops were both sluggish, the logs show tons of NVRM warnings08:32
Sweetsharkvish: I just updated your email in the copyright file ...08:33
didrocksfta2: not sure it's under unity, let's try to touch the file08:33
fta2didrocks, happened on my 2 main desktops running natty/unity08:34
didrocksfta2: touching /var/run/reboot-required worked08:34
didrocksfta2: so, shouldn't be unity related, maybe the package didn't touch it08:35
fta2maybe that file hasn't been touched then, too late to check, i rebooted both08:35
didrockspitti: thanks for accepting unity (I guess it's you as it wasn't acked yesterday evening ;))08:38

seb128hey desktopers09:01
pittibonjour seb12809:02
pittiseb128: formally rodrigo_ just got his third +1 on the desktop list; but do you want to follow up as well?09:02
seb128hey pitti, how are you?09:02
seb128pitti, I was going to yes09:03

didrockspitti: I don't have the same card, but at least, not all nvidia revisions regressed ;)09:04
seb128pitti, done09:05
seb128doh09:05
pittiseb128: yay09:05
seb128oh, really done with an email subscribed to the list this time :p09:06
didrocksseb128: oh got puzzled by sending from the wrong adress to ubuntu-desktop ML? :)09:07
seb128I hacked my @ubuntu.com to @canonical.com yesterday to reply to an email09:08
didrocksseb128: how hacked? :-)09:08
seb128seems people tend to send me email on that one using seb128 rather than my name09:08
seb128well edited the account and changed my email09:08
seb128I should add some extra dumb accounts for the variants I don't use but people write to09:09
seb128I tend to use seb128 at ubuntu and s.b at canonical09:09
seb128but people write to seb128 at canonical for some reason09:09
seb128well anyway boring email story :p09:10
* cdbs has a dream to work one day for canonical, though he already is contracted for unity :)09:10
pittivish: yes, such things really shouln't be changed post release09:28
aquariushm. I keep getting GPU crashes (I think that's what they are), and then when I reboot the machine to get my display back, I ge tthe "System program problems detected" dialog. When I say "yes, report the problem", I get *another* crash dialog saying "apport-gpu-error-intel.py closed unexpectedly". I think this means that the program trying to diagnose the crash is itself crashing?09:49
aquariusSo I have two questions: how do I diagnose and report the GPU crash, and am I correct in my assumptions? :)09:50
seb128aquarius, hey, do you confuse us with #ubuntu-x? ;-)09:52
aquariusseb128, well, I think this is more an apport problem; once I've got apport able to report the actual gpu bug, I will then go and whine at the X people about not making my GPU hang in the first place. But if I whine at them now they'll say "file a bug" and I'll say "I can't, apport won't let me" :)09:53
mvopitti: could you have a quick look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/596843/ and apply upstream if it makes sense? just look at software-center and gir and this is the first bit I stumbled on09:54
seb128aquarius, no, it seems that the apport-gpu-error-intel.py code shipped with the xorg packages is buggy09:54
pittimvo: oh, absolutely09:55
aquariusseb128, oh, they own the apport-gpu thing? right, cool, I'll go talk to them about it :)09:56
seb128aquarius, yes09:56
mvothanks!09:56
seb128mvo, you want to use gtk309:56
seb128;-)09:56
pittimvo: it's already fixed in GTK309:56
pittiright, if you start porting now, do use gir1.2-gtk-3.009:57
pittiit's a lot more stable, and in oneiric we'll use that anyway09:57
mvook09:57
mvoI don't really want to start now, just play with it to get a feeling for the task at hand09:57
pittimvo: anyway, http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-24&id=baf8bf967dfcde1b101d513c5102872a9b0ac57109:59
mvocool, thanks10:00
* mvo switches to gtk3 10:00
pittimvo: it currently looks ugly due to missing theme, but for porting it's still better10:00
pittithere's some things which are principally broken in gtk2 and can't be fixed easily10:01
pittisuch as menu popups10:01
mvook10:01
mvoit currently segfaults for me a lot, but I guess that is because of leaking import pygtk/import gtk somewhere10:01
pittimvo: you know about the porting guide, btw?10:01
pittiright10:01
mvothe gtk2 -> gtk3 one?10:01
pittithat, too, but I meant the pygtk -> pygi one10:01
pittihttps://live.gnome.org/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting10:02
pittiI recycled my UDW talk to this10:02
seb128didrocks, no luck for those nvidia crash since pitti turned apport off yesterday, we will need to get someone to manually turn it on again10:02
mvoaha, nice10:02
didrocksseb128: right, anyway, I have something online within the day to get it manually reported10:03
mvoI was usuing the talk and the gir s far, nice to see it in one good page10:03
seb128didrocks, ok10:03
pittimvo: so pygi-convert left some imports which are pulling in gtk?10:09
pittimvo: one thing that's currently missing from that is appindicator -> gi.r.AppIndicator; do you use that?10:09
didrockspitti: seb128: can you force bug #768178 to be retraced please? (it's the nvidia issue)10:19
seb128didrocks, ok10:19
didrocksthanks :)10:19
seb128didrocks, do you know what architecture it is?10:21
didrocksi686 ?, asking (he's on #ayatana)10:21
seb128didrocks, if you have access to the bug it's in the tag10:22
seb128need-<arch>-retrace10:22
didrocksseb128: yeah, i38610:22
seb128didrocks, retraced10:25
didrocksseb128: thanks! rock :)10:25
seb128yw10:25
seb128didrocks, retracing worked, i.e the stacktrace has symbols etc10:26
didrocksseb128: yeah, seeing, that, I'm attaching to the other bug10:26
mvopitti: yeah, it looks like it, I don't use appindicator. one I had to manually kill is gtkspell, there seems to be no gir yet10:29

chrisccoulsondidrocks, good thanks. just looking at a bug someone reported this morning against my firefox extension11:07
chrisccoulsoni think it's the first real bug!11:08

chrisccoulsoni should definitely get that one fixed before people start complaining i break their other extensions ;)11:08

chrisccoulsonlol11:09
didrockschrisccoulson: FYI, I tried again firefox4 and LP… still not a joy :/11:09
chrisccoulsonit's normally me who gets the blame isn't it?11:09
chrisccoulsondidrocks, that sucks. however, they are planning to completely rewrite the drawing code in a future firefox version ;)11:10
didrockschrisccoulson: well, as it's in "unity", it's "unity broke xxxx" (we get a non negligeable of such reports ;))11:10

chrisccoulsonmicahg - there won't be another upload (too late)11:11

seb128bah, u1 again!11:27
chrisccoulsonyep11:27
seb128get didrocks to get the unity fix in for the next upload, likely to be a SRU since I'm not sure we want uploads to clean log spamming today11:29
didrocksseb128: this is a workaround, not a fix, Jason was relunctant to integrate it11:30
didrocksI asked him to look at it11:30
chrisccoulsonwhy is it a workaround?11:30
seb128ok11:30
chrisccoulsonthe issue is that the menuitems don't exist if the menu was never opened11:30
didrocksand asked him to answer, but seems the info was lost11:30
chrisccoulsonso i just add a check for that11:30
didrockschrisccoulson: look at the fixme you removed :)11:31
chrisccoulsondidrocks, yeah, but the fixme seemed to be describing the issue that my change fixes11:31
chrisccoulson(ie, there are invalid pointers, because no menuitems exist)11:31
didrockschrisccoulson: the ref should be destroyed before if they are invalid, I think that was Jason's point11:32
didrockschrisccoulson: discuss that with him once he's back online. Anyway, will be in a SRU11:32

didrocksseb128: not sure, I was infering as it wasn't working before the fix, and I installed it to test the fix12:50
didrocks(and it works)12:50
didrocksbtw, time to uninstall it, I don't use that :)12:50
seb128ok12:50
seb128I got quite some craps installed for testing purpose12:51
didrocksseb128: such a sacrifice! :-)12:51
didrocksanyway, need to reinstall my box once the first testing iso are published12:51
didrockscleanswap will be needed here12:52
seb128sometimes I wonder if installing the new version would be easier than upgrading12:52
seb128less to download if you have the iso ;-)12:52
chrisccoulsondidrocks, hmmm, will have another look in a bit. it certainly worked for me after applying the fix (and i tried with italian too)12:59
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
mterryseb128, so in this last-minute rundown to 11.04, what's the best use of my time?  Continue working on bugs for maybe SRUs, do ISO testing, upgrading testing?14:25
seb128hey mterry14:25
mterryseb128, hi@14:25
seb128mterry, I think we are good for natty14:25
mterry! even14:25
ubot2Factoid 'even' not found14:25
mterryseb128, so confident!  ;)14:25
seb128lol14:26
seb128I didn't say we are gold ;-)14:26
seb128but remaining issues can be sorted in sru14:26
mterryseb128, OK so blueprint prep and such?14:26
seb128I've no specific issue on my list but I might bounce a few bug worth fixing in srus on your list if I cross some14:26
mterryseb128, k14:27
seb128so meanwhile you can do upgrade and iso testing, bug triage, blueprints start on merges for next cycle14:27
seb128whatever you prefer ;-)14:27
seb128I think current iso have ubiquity issues14:27
pittichrisccoulson: lol @ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64795914:27
seb128so maybe wait the next round for that14:27

didrockszomg, pitti told "lol". /me shocked14:28
mterrydidrocks, hello!14:28
pittihey mterry14:28
pittididrocks: this bug really deserves it, have a look :)14:28
seb128kenvandine, mterry: why you guys write softwares that have several desktop entries?14:28
chrisccoulsonpitti - lol, where did you find that?14:29
chrisccoulson:-D14:29
seb128like deja-dup has 2 icons in a dash search14:29
seb128gwibber has 314:29
kenvandine:)14:29
pittichrisccoulson: it made it all the way up to heise.de14:29
chrisccoulsonheh :)14:29
kenvandineseb128, with the dash that does make it more cluttered...14:29
didrockspitti: excellent, I really like "Honest Achmed is at least more honest than Comodo."14:29
kenvandinewe wanted them to be pretty separated, considering we want you to be able to configure the service with the client running14:30
seb128pitti, do you think trivial bug fixes to not spam .xsession-errors with warning are worth an upload or are SRU material rather?14:30
pittiseb128: bring 'em on14:30
mterryseb128, well...  deja-dup-preferences was written as a separate app from the main deja-dup executable.  And so it needs its own .desktop file to be recognized by unity at all14:30
pittiseb128: well, for today it's fine anyway; probably not over Easter holidays any more14:31
seb128mterry, is there any usecase to call it out of the deja-dup ui?14:31
seb128chrisccoulson, dobey: can we get the nautilus gconf spamming fix uploaded?14:31
mterryseb128, it would be nice if unity let you say, "these two .desktop files are part of the same app" and join them14:31
kenvandinemterry, but not if you want them launchable independent of each other14:32
Sweetsharkpitti: ooold, that was on heise yesterday already14:32
pittiSweetshark: I know, but still funny ;)14:32
seb128mterry, well either they are useful and should each be listed or not, I would tend to think that the preference dialog being a different binary is not something the user need to care about14:32
mterrykenvandine, well, even if they were launchable separate, it would be nice if you could tell unity to display them under the same "app"14:32
kenvandineif we get multiple actions in unity14:33
mterryseb128, I agree!  But unity doesn't let you hide such technical details.  It will show different execs as different entries14:33
seb128mterry, NoDisplay=true?14:33
mterryseb128, I don't think that works once it's running...  You are talking about from the Applications Lens?  I thought you were talking Launcher14:33
Sweetsharkpitti: I esp. like the "once we are too big to fail, we wont have to justify ourselves anyway" part14:33
seb128mterry, what is the point in having a .desktop for it anyway? rather than just calling the command from the deja-dup ui?14:33
pittiSweetshark: it's not funny because it's so true :-(14:34
Sweetsharkyep14:34
mterryseb128, that was a baby step towards the more dramatic UI overhaul in Oneiric.  The idea is that backup features could be seen as just a feature of the OS, and so should have an entry in your system settings.14:35
mterryseb128, in Oneiric it only lives in system settings14:35
dobeyseb128: what nautilus gconf spamming fix?14:35
seb128mterry, ok14:35

seb128mterry, right, makes sense, you can see natty is close I'm spending time playing with things ;-)14:37

dobeyseb128, chrisccoulson: is that an issue on maverick as well?14:46
seb128dobey, dunno but it's one of the spammers in natty14:46
seb128so it would be nice to get it in14:46
seb128dobey, I would say that if nobody complained in 10.10 yet we can do without fixing it there14:47
seb128but I don't think it was doing that previous cycle, I think I would have noticed14:47
dobeythat's odd, because that code has changed very little.14:48
dobeychrisccoulson: anyway, can you also make a branch against lp:ubuntuone-client/stable-1-6 with that change, and propose merging it into stable-1-6 as well; since that's the stable branch we're using for 11.0414:49
chrisccoulsondobey, sure, can do14:49
dobeycheers14:50
dobeyah crap15:15
dobeychrisccoulson: btw, do i need to do the upload to ubuntu for that patch, or do you have privs to do it?15:19
chrisccoulsondobey, i'm not sure i can upload it15:19
chrisccoulson1 second, i'll just check15:20
dobeyok15:20
chrisccoulsonno, it doesn't look like i can upload that15:20
dobeyok15:21

seb128DBO, chrisccoulson: did you guys look at bug #757011?15:27
ubot2Launchpad bug 757011 in unity "Keep in launcher option for Emacs does not save over restarts" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/75701115:27
dobeychrisccoulson: thanks15:28
chrisccoulsonseb128 - when i tried it the other night, the launcher matching was working ok (I didn't see any issue with emacs)15:28
chrisccoulsoni'll have a look again in a bit15:29
seb128chrisccoulson, how, weird, it doesn't work here if I run emacs for the run a command or command line, it only works if I run it from the application place, which use gio on the .desktop which work...until you try to start it again by clicking the launcher icon15:29
seb128chrisccoulson, emacs23 there btw15:29
dobeyseb128: ubuntuone-client is in the upload queue with chrisccoulson's fix15:46
seb128dobey, thanks!15:46
seb128pitti, ^15:46
pitticheers15:47
pittiseb128: did cyphermox mess with your nm-applet, too? :-)15:58
seb128pitti, no, but docking and undocking my laptop switches between wifi and eth, the dhcp gives me a new ip and irc reconnect...15:59
seb128(I've been testing an unity bug)15:59
cyphermoxseb128, I so need to figure out if this can be fixed somehow15:59
seb128should be stable now ;-)15:59
cyphermoxlike, keepalive and stuff in some way to have irc stay online as much as possible, if your IP doesn't change too much16:00
hoski don't get the unity panel, unity --reset produces http://pastebin.com/bH5SR8Ur , im in virtualbox, i have 3d accel enabled and the latest vb-guest additions, any thoughts or tips on how to search for a bug report that might already be filed?16:36
hoskpreliminary research says it's unsupported GL, i'll see if i can install other drivers16:39
faganem does apt.ubuntu.com know about natty yet?16:40
faganits saying im not running ubuntu16:40
fagan:/16:41
fagan(and it links from developer.ubuntu.com so it would be nice if our own links worked in our own distro)16:42
hoskguess i am already running all add'l drivers i can, i feel like i've seen others running unity panel in it16:42
hoskmaybe i need specifically the OSE version of guest additions16:42
chrisccoulsonoh, uploads are still being accepted for natty?16:46

chrisccoulsonfirefox sends out a X-Ubuntu header when accessing apt.ubuntu.com now16:49
faganchrisccoulson: thats cool I was just wondering16:49
chrisccoulsoni've still got no idea who really maintains apt.ubuntu.com. we should get them to fix it :)16:49
faganI get why we moved from apturl but its good anyway16:50
faganchrisccoulson: id say ask on rt16:50
davmor2the snap to grid doesn't work with Control Centre.  It you snapping it to the left you lose the one side and to the right it snaps back to the middle of to screen.16:50
faganchrisccoulson: if we are going to link it on our developer website we kinda have to be able to use it :)16:51
faganapturl at least worked for the ubuntu people everyone else got something weird but it worked16:52

didrockspitti: around? got a jockey question :)18:03
pittididrocks: spotty18:13
didrockspitti: well, we were discussing about blacklisting the nvidia driver 173 as we get one crash since the update and not sure if other cards work with it18:13
didrockspitti: but we will rather add this support to the test tool it seems18:14
chrisccoulsonBINGO!18:15
chrisccoulsoni think i've just cracked an annoying firefox bug18:16
chrisccoulsondamn you firefox sync18:16
didrockspitti: do you know who will be there tomorrow to eventually acked the new nux upload?18:16
pittididrocks: I think it depends on whether the driver is generally broken (then we'll disable it in jockey) or just in rare cases for unity (then we can check in the test tool)18:16
pittididrocks: the american folks at least, i. e. skaet18:17
didrockspitti: the thing is that we don't really know, and nobody tested it18:17
didrockspitti: so blacklisting until the SRU seems the safest18:17
pittididrocks: ok18:17
didrocksskaet: ready to ack an nux upload for blacklisting this case tomorrow?18:17
pittididrocks: did you talk to tseliot about it already?18:17
didrockspitti: this morning, right, but didn't think to ask if he tested it with unity (compiz alone works)18:18
pittioh, interesting18:20
pittididrocks: then we probably should also keep it for Kubuntu and classic users?18:20
didrockspitti: yeah, the unity test tool to only blacklist it in the unity case sounds good18:21
=== abhinav-_ is now known as abhinav-
didrockspitti: FYI, we are headed to a 0-day SRU to either blacklist the driver or fix the issue (and profit)18:47
didrocksas people need an internet connection to install the driver, there is a high chance they install the update as well18:47
pittididrocks: yes, they'll install from natty-updates right away, unless they are using a DVD source18:50
didrockspitti: so, seems quite safe to head for a 0-day SRU18:51
pittididrocks: yes, I agree18:51
didrockspitti: ok, let's go to that road then! Thanks for the feedback :)18:52
skaetpitti, didrocks,  just back from lunch and read through the backscroll,  yup, on standby for that blacklist update (and SRU path).18:54
didrocksnice :)18:54
flacostehey folks, just a big thank you for your work on Natty, i've really enjoyed my 2.5 weeks with it so far18:55
flacosteworks like a charm18:55
pittikenvandine: why does it read the entire whitelist and then return true? it would be easier to return true right away?19:14
kenvandinei was keeping the diff small :)19:14
kenvandinei could change that though19:14
pittikenvandine: it's an one-line change either way?19:15
pittinot a biggie, though19:15
