didrocksgood morning07:56
cdbsdidrocks: good morning08:10
didrockshey cdbs :)08:10
cdbsdidrocks: unity-preferences seems to be crashing somewhat often08:10
cdbs(didn't crash in my case, but it seems so, from the crash bugs outta there)08:10
cdbsdidrocks: I guess I understood how its crashing, /me works on a fix08:11
didrockscdbs: yeah, I saw that, seems to be a gsettings issue :/08:11
didrockscdbs: oh really? nice08:11
cdbsdidrocks: yes, maybe gsettings isn't returning a value which we are expecting08:11
cdbsdidrocks: but that's just a guess08:11
didrockscdbs: I can have a look, please focus on bug triage right now ;)08:12
cdbsdidrocks: both :) It takes a long time to bzr branch08:12
cdbsokay I'll triage it for now08:12
didrocksgsettings is crashing if the schema isn't installed, I'm wondering if that's not the case there08:12
cdbslp timeouts :(08:14
didrockscdbs: also, the crash has been reported just once until now08:26
didrockscdbs: this crash is a gsettings one FYI, we will poke desrt at UDS08:32
chrisccoulsonit's quiet in here today ;)09:53
chrisccoulsonhi didrocks!09:54
didrockshey chrisccoulson!09:54
chrisccoulsonhow are you?09:54
didrockschrisccoulson: I'm fine, thanks. Taking advantage of the quietness to see what unity bugs should be fixed as a 0day SRU or not09:55
didrocksand you?09:55
chrisccoulsoni'm pretty tired today. i've been up for most of the night with my sick and very grumpy daughter :(09:56
chrisccoulsoni didn't realise kids got ill so often ;)09:56

rickspencer3didrocks, good morning, what's the work on the street?15:11
rickspencer3kenvandine ^ ?15:12
* rickspencer3 thinks about who is still around today15:12
didrocksrickspencer3: hey, word is nice! nothing scary for now :-)15:12
kenvandinehey rickspencer315:12
kenvandinegood morning15:12
kenvandinerickspencer3, everything is rocking!15:12
rickspencer3nice15:12
didrocksrickspencer3: dbarth and I retargeted most of bugs today to get a realistic list for a 0 day SRU and a futur one :-)15:14
rickspencer3thanks didrocks15:14
rickspencer3didrocks, did the blacklist for the scrollbars make it into Ubuntu yesterday?15:15
didrocksrickspencer3: yeah, it did (kenvandine uploaded it)15:15
kenvandinerickspencer3 there was an updated blacklist15:15
kenvandinebut it didn't include ubiquity15:15
didrockskenvandine: oh?15:16
rickspencer3didrocks, kenvandine said that the scrollbars were still in ubiquity, I thought ubiquity was going to get black listed15:16
kenvandineno, i never heard ubiquity was supposed to be blacklisted15:16
kenvandinethere was a fix from ev related to scrollbars15:16
kenvandinein ubiquity15:16
kenvandine  * Don't ever show scrollbars in the slideshow.  The window growing15:18
kenvandine    slightly is not ideal, but still better than this. See LP 52920115:18
kenvandine    for details.15:18
ubot2Launchpad bug 529201 in ubiquity "ubiquity shows scrollbar in installation slideshow" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/52920115:18
kenvandinefrom the changelog15:18
kenvandineuploaded yesterday15:18
rickspencer3kenvandine, so there are no scrollbars in Ubiquity, then?15:18
kenvandinethere are15:18
kenvandinejust in different places :)15:19
kenvandinebut they worked fine for me15:19
kenvandinekeyboard selector15:19
kenvandinei think that is the only one actually15:19
didrockskenvandine: there were possible the login selection as well, but I didn't see that from last install15:20
kenvandineok15:20
kenvandinei'll take another pass to double check15:20
rickspencer3thanks guys15:26
rickspencer3didrocks, kenvandine we have RC ISOs, to test, so far as I can tell15:26
rickspencer3so we'll have a couple of days to watch for any non-SRUable problems15:26
rickspencer3am I understanding that correctly?15:26
kenvandinerickspencer3, you are correct15:27
didrocksseems correct to me :-)15:27
=== bjf[afk] is now known as bjf
mterryThe nightly images seem solid15:36
kenvandinemterry, see any scrollbar issues in the installer?15:36
mterrykenvandine, no I didn't15:54
* mterry notices that his xchat notifications aren't coming through15:54
rickspencer3mterry, good news about the images!15:58
rickspencer3those could be what we release, although I hear through the grapevine that docs and language packs may be updated15:59
rickspencer3I don't know if that's real though15:59
dobeyyay, then we can all upgrade to 11.10 and suffer another 6 months of daily updates :)16:02
didrocksdobey: s/suffer/enjoy :-)16:03
kenvandineyeah, what didrocks said!16:03
kenvandinethat's the spirit :)16:03
didrockslet's cross fingers that's the final image though :-)16:03
mterrydobey, I *love* daily updates.  They are crack to me16:03
didrocksmterry: that's why you are doing daily backup ;-)16:03
kenvandinegotta feed that addiction!16:03
mterrydidrocks, heh16:04
kenvandinehaha16:04
* kenvandine is ready to push the first pass at image uploading to gwibber trunk 16:04
kenvandinelet there be crack!16:04
dobeymterry: do you have a Cirrus Logic video card or somethng? :)16:04
dobeyor Trident maybe?16:05
mterrydobey, I don't get that.  :)16:05
kenvandinemterry, you have to learn to "speak dobey"16:05
dobeymterry: too old school for you?16:05
kenvandine:)16:05
dobeysince nvidia/ati/intel seem to break every time the kernel or Xorg change, it seems :)16:06
mterrydobey, I live in the now, the freshest bits possible.  I don't get references older than a week16:07
rickspencer3seriously, could you imagine if you desktop only update once every six months?16:07
rickspencer3what would that even be like16:07
rickspencer3?16:07
mterryAh, well, I just learn to love X breaks.  They are an opportunity to yell at bryceh16:07
dobeyhaha16:07
kenvandineah, the monday morning Xorg breakage... love it16:08
kenvandineonly happened to me once all cycle though... because i have intel goodness :)16:08
mterryrickspencer3, jarring probably.  :)  It must be fun to update from one LTS to another.  All sorts of goodies16:08
rickspencer3oh my16:09
* rickspencer3 boggles16:09
kenvandinemterry, that would be like christmas16:09
rickspencer3imagine going 10.04 -> 12.04 on the desktop16:09
kenvandineimagine the upgrade from lucid?16:09
kenvandineyeah :)16:09
mterry"A backup program that makes coffee for me too?  Love it!"16:09
rickspencer3kenvandine, btw, your "gimme all the images from my feeds" code you have me is working great16:10
kenvandinegreat16:10
rickspencer3I'd love it if I could go images = gwibber.get_images() ;)16:10
kenvandinei have a branch that posts uploads to imageshack :)16:10
kenvandinegoing to add other places too16:10
kenvandineand let you configure which one to use16:10
rickspencer3kenvandine, nice16:11
kenvandineand it lets you drop an image on the gwibber launcher and it uploads and creates a tweet16:11
kenvandine:)16:11
rickspencer3I'd love to replace my imgur code with U1, actually16:11
kenvandineU1 will be one of the choices, i think16:11
rickspencer3I upload to imgure because it gives me back a url that I can tweet right away16:11
kenvandinei just need to sort out knowing you are capable of using it and all16:11
rickspencer3I'd love to do that iwth U1 isntead16:11
kenvandinewhich i am sure isn't hard16:11
kenvandineright16:11
rickspencer3kenvandine, sounds like gwibber will handle the posting for me?16:11
kenvandinemaybe16:11
rickspencer3there will be an api for tweeting images?16:12
mterrykenvandine, knowing you can use U1?  I have some code in Deja Dup that might help, maybe.  Though it's in vala16:12
kenvandinerickspencer3, yes16:12
kenvandinemterry, good reference though :)16:12
kenvandinecool16:12
kenvandinerickspencer3, there will be an optional arg to Send16:12
kenvandinefor attachment16:12
kenvandineif you include an attachment we'll handle uploading to the configured service and inserting the url in the post16:13
rickspencer3kenvandine, can I just include image= in whatever call I make to do a tweet?16:13
kenvandineperhaps16:13
* rickspencer3 likes *easy* APIs16:13
kenvandinewe'll discuss the API at UDS16:13
rickspencer3sounds good16:13
kenvandinei want it to be dirt easy :)16:13
kenvandineand i don't want you to have to tell the API it is an image or video...16:14
rickspencer3I prefer APIs where I don't have to assemble a collection of objects together to do something simple16:14
kenvandinei want gwibber to figure out the type of media and do the right thing16:14
rickspencer3*cough* TreeView *cough*16:14
kenvandinei just want you to pass a uri to the media you want to include16:14
dobeykenvandine: should be pretty easy to do a u1 image poster plug-in for gwibber, in 11.1016:14
rickspencer3dobey, that would be sweet!16:15
kenvandinedobey, i would thinks so.. aq and i spent some time a while back drafting an API for that16:15
dobeyactually, it's pretty easy to do in 11.04 even, if you don't mind having the files locally and on the server16:15
kenvandinedobey, the important thing is getting the url to the image fast16:16
kenvandineeven if it isn't done syncing :)16:16
mterrykenvandine, run /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-login then search in d-feet for com.ubuntuone.Credentials.  That's the API to tell if Ubuntu One is running and if they are logged in16:17
kenvandinecool16:17
* kenvandine thinks it is pretty slick to drag an image from the files/folders lens and drop it on the gwibber launcher to post :)16:18
rickspencer3kenvandine, no, you need the syncing done16:18
dobeykenvandine: yeah. but with a client lib to use the REST API instead, you can just throw it on the server, get the URI, and bypass the syncdaemon bits, and not have to have the folder synchronized to the local machine16:18
rickspencer3you don't want to tweet a link that is busted16:18
rickspencer3dobey, is there sample code for that?16:18
kenvandinerickspencer3, in theory it would only be busted for a matter of seconds16:18
dobeyrickspencer3: not yet, since it doesn't so much exist yet :)16:19
rickspencer3dobey, can you hack photobomb to replace imgur with U1?16:19
kenvandinewe don't want to block the UI waiting for a file to sync16:19
rickspencer3oh16:19
rickspencer3n,16:19
rickspencer3nm16:19
rickspencer3I thought you said it would be easy to do in 11.0416:19
kenvandinenot that hard...16:19
kenvandinebut easier in 11.1016:19
kenvandinein 11.04 you copy a file to a share and call the API to get a link for it16:19
dobeyyeah, in 11.04 you have to use syncdaemon and have a synchronized folder16:20
rickspencer3oh16:20
kenvandinei have code to do that already16:20
rickspencer3so, that sounds a bit hard to program16:20
kenvandinesomewhere16:20
kenvandinewhich is why it isn't merged anywhere :)16:20
kenvandinenot good enough16:20
rickspencer3like, how would you know what folders the user is syncing, etc...16:20
dobeyrickspencer3: well you'd make a folder.16:20
dobeyrickspencer3: like we do for music store.16:20
kenvandinethat is what i did16:20
rickspencer3like I say "sounds hard to program"16:20
kenvandinerickspencer3, exactly :)16:21
rickspencer3that should all be hidden in an API16:21
kenvandineso if U1 is up to the job in time to get it in gwibber, i'll make it happen :)16:21
dobeythat's what gwibber is for16:21
kenvandinedobey, i want an easy API too :)16:21
kenvandinedon't make me do all the work for you :)16:21
rickspencer3gwibber is only use case for that16:21
rickspencer3a nice feature in LO would be to "send with link" for example16:22
dobeyi mean, os.makedirs() is not that hard to call in python16:22
kenvandinerickspencer3, i'll look at your imgur code as an example and add that as a second image uploader :)16:22
kenvandinedobey, but it means you have to understand how U1 works to use the API16:22
kenvandinewe don't want developers to have to know that16:22
kenvandinerickspencer3, don't worry, the API should be nice in 11.1016:23
kenvandinerickspencer3, humm, the imgur API limits might hurt for gwibber :/16:47
kenvandine50 uploads per hour for anonymous16:48
rickspencer3kenvandine, then get an api key ;)16:48
kenvandinerickspencer3, that is with an api key :)16:48
rickspencer3oh16:48
rickspencer3oops16:48
kenvandinebut 50 per hour for the key16:48
kenvandineso they count it like facebook does16:48
rickspencer3except they tell you what the limits are ;)16:48
kenvandinebut... if we auth users with their own accounts the limits are per user16:48
kenvandineindeed!16:48
kenvandinei am sure imageshack has limits too16:50
kenvandinehumm16:50
didrockskenvandine: can you try to enable/disable a plugin in ccsm?17:02
didrockskenvandine: and tell me if unity still crashes?17:02
kenvandinedidrocks, sure... i love crashing unity :)17:02
didrockskenvandine: heh, not as much as gwibber :p17:03
kenvandinehehe17:03
kenvandineok, i enabled and disable the water effect17:03
kenvandinenot crash17:03

kenvandineunity didn't crash17:04
kenvandinebut my panel is now just artifacts17:04
kenvandineblack with blue dots17:04
didrocksyeah, got that with one plugin as well17:04
kenvandinethe launcher seems fine17:04
kenvandineok17:04
kenvandineunity never crashed, launcher works and stuff17:04
didrockskenvandine: thanks for confirming, at least, the crash is gone :)17:05
kenvandinenp17:05
kenvandineweird though... why only the panel?17:05
didrockskenvandine: the launcher is repainted completely17:06
kenvandineah17:06
didrocksseems not the panel17:06
* kenvandine kills it17:06
kenvandinedoesn't fix it... weird17:07
kenvandinebrb17:07
didrocksoh?17:07
didrocksit fixed it for me17:07
kenvandinenot here17:07
kenvandinepanel restarts but still looks the same17:07
kenvandinei know it restarts too, i can see everything shift up and then back down17:08
didrockshum, interesting17:08
didrocksseems like an old panel would still be around17:08
kenvandinechrisccoulson, do you know anything about language packs?19:23
kenvandineanyone around that knows about language packs?19:28
dobeykenvandine: i think everyone is looking for eggs for some reason19:34
dobeynever was sure what eggs had to do with zombies though.19:35
mterrykenvandine, I know a very little, but I am around.19:43
kenvandineskaet, maybe mterry can be more informative?20:02
mterrykenvandine, ?20:04

mterryskaet, well, yah, looks like nothing got through.  might be uploaded and not approved...  You want to know the names?  like language-pack-de for example?20:30
chrisccoulsonkenvandine, what do you need to know?20:43
skaetmterry,  yeah,  I just want a definite name to see if I can hunt it down in the system.20:44
mterryskaet, well, that is an example source package name.  language-pack-de, language-pack-es, etc are what I expect him to upload20:45
skaetmterry,  thanks - will look explicitly for -de, -es and see if I can find signs anywhere.20:46

Tareqhello there, can anyone tell me, if i can install gnome3 on my lucid?20:53
* skaet not finding signs, will dig into it later tonight.20:53
charlie-tcaTareq: you can install from a ppa, after installing, it can not be removed and the system restored without a reinstall20:59
Tareqoops, then I shouldn't install I guess :(20:59
mterryTareq, also, the PPA isn't for Lucid, but Maverick20:59
mterryOr rather, Natty21:00
Tareqyeah, I guessed it, that's why asking here without adding the repo :)21:00
charlie-tcaooops, missed that part, too.21:00
Tareqso I shouldn't install it on lucid, I don't want mess up with my development environment :(21:01
charlie-tcayup21:02
Tareqthanks charlie-tca and mterry :)21:03
charlie-tcaYou are welcome21:03
BuddSomehow, my ssh-agent carries a bunch of keys that I didn't explicitly add. Once I add three of my own, ssh logins fail due to too many key failures.23:41
BuddAlso ssh-add -D only erases the keys I added; the others remain. What gives?23:42
