rickspencer3_RAOF, TheMuso hey guys03:19
RAOFHey.03:19
TheMusoHey rickspencer3_.03:19
rickspencer3_I need a better nick03:19
RAOF:)03:20
rickspencer3_RAOF, TheMuso so, Natty goes out tomorrow03:20
rickspencer3_thoughts?03:20
TheMusoIts another release, things work better, a11y is incrementally better... I have been involved with so many releases now that one doesn't necessarily feel any more special than the other.03:20
=== rickspencer3_ is now known as JerryGarcia
RAOFIt'll be fun.03:21
* JerryGarcia rips some licks, mostly mixolydian and dorian03:21
JerryGarciaTheMuso, how do you feel it compares quality-wise?03:21
RAOFI don't think X will explode or cause Unity to look bad.03:21
RAOFI think Unity itself looks pretty good.03:22
TheMusoOverall uality is fine, but I think unity could have done with 6 months more baking after the rewrite personally, and that will happen for oneiric, but 6 months more only in testing mode may have been better.03:22
JerryGarciainteresting03:23
JerryGarciawell, I think it's been a relatively intense release cycle in some ways03:23
TheMusoYes it has.03:23
JerryGarciaI know some folks worked a bit even extra hard03:23
TheMusoI guess my thoughts re unity above are in relation to a11y not getting completed. If unity wasn't such a moving target, a11y enablement would have been easier./03:24
JerryGarciaTheMuso, for sure03:24
JerryGarcialet's not back off of that03:24
TheMusoOf course not.03:24
JerryGarciamake sure it's done done for 11.1003:24
JerryGarciaand also, we've got to get Qt accessible as well03:24
TheMusoThats the plan. I have a lot more dbusmenu/indicator work to be done too.03:24
TheMusoYep, thats going to be difficult, since afaik unity 2D uses QML.03:25
JerryGarciayup03:25
JerryGarciawe've got to fix that, make Qt/QML work for everyone03:25
RAOFAnd QML isn't accessible?03:25
micahgJerryGarcia: you're nick is making me hungry for ice cream :)03:25
micahg*your03:25
=== JerryGarcia is now known as CherryGracia
TheMusoRAOF: Not yet. The qt at-spi bridge works with some/most conventional QT widgets, but QML support is still in the early stages.03:26
CherryGraciaQML is a weird beast, it's not quite like a traditional widget toolkit03:27
broderCherryGracia: that's just cruel03:27
CherryGraciacruel indeed03:27
CherryGraciabut Ben and Jerry's is so good03:27
TheMusoCherryGracia: Do you know if there are plans to eventually merge unity and unity 2D?03:29
TheMusoBecause that would make much more sense.03:29
CherryGraciaTheMuso, none that I know of03:29
CherryGraciawell ...03:29
brycehrickspencer3, how are you feeling about it?03:29
CherryGraciaI don't know03:29
TheMusoThen we just tie in atk/at-spi to the unity backend, and its toolkit abnostic then, and will just work a11y wise.03:29
CherryGraciaI wouldn't underestimate what the Unity team will be able to do with nux03:29
TheMusoRight, more work duplication then... :S03:29
CherryGraciawell, only the view is duplicated03:30
CherryGraciahey bryceh, what do *you* think?03:30
brycehhey rick03:31
CherryGracia:)03:31
brycehCherryGracia, looking only at X, I feel like there was a humongous amount of progress, and I especially got through a lot of Intel driver bugs03:32
CherryGraciasweet03:32
CherryGraciabryceh, how about the release as a whole?03:32
brycehthe gpu freeze situation is definitely a couple orders of magnitude better than we've done in the past03:32
CherryGraciabryceh, for sure03:32
CherryGracia lots of investments on your part starting to pay off03:33
brycehCherryGracia, well, I'd echo what TheMuso says that more testing of unity could have benefitted us, although it's impressive how well it came together by the end03:33
CherryGraciayeah03:33
CherryGraciaalthough, it is rock solid for me03:34
RAOFIt always is.03:34
CherryGraciaI mean, from every point of view03:34
RAOFDevelopers don't run into bugs.03:34
RAOFFirst law of programming.03:34
CherryGraciaI find it so much easier to use than old gnome03:34
CherryGraciaRAOF, I am hardly a developer :)03:34
brycehRAOF, unless it's code they're not involved in, in which case they run across weird random issues no one else in the world can reproduce03:34
CherryGraciahah03:35
brycehCherryGracia, I'm using it on my -intel systems, but found it was just slightly too laggy for my -ati box so went back to non-compiz there03:35
CherryGraciadang it03:35
CherryGraciaI have been well served by sticking to intel graphics03:36
CherryGracialet's see if in 11.10 we can make it sing with nvidia03:36
brycehbut aside from the lagginess it worked well; few graphics issues, no crashers or lockups03:36
RAOFIn my experience it *does* sing on nvidia.03:36
TheMusoIf Intel made discrete cards for desktops, I'd use them, but since they don't, ATI cards are my next best choice./03:36
RAOFThen again, I don't normally use my nvidia system :)03:36
brycehI had a lot of trouble doing without gnome-panel though (ended up just loading it atop unity, then was fine)03:37
broderCherryGracia: i've been using it on nvidia-current for the past few days and it seems to be working fine. granted, i only use chrome and gnome-terminal on this machine :)03:37
CherryGraciahuh03:37
CherryGraciahey broder yeah, I think nvidia with the proprietary driver is working well, or so I hear03:37
CherryGracia(and notice in the bug reports)03:37
CherryGraciapersonally, I suspect that 11.04 represents a significant step forward for the project03:38
TheMusoI'd agree with that.03:38
CherryGraciaI believe that Unity is well position to capture a lot of users who wouldn;'t have considered a free desktop in the past03:38
TheMusoI know I will enjoy using Unity when its fully a11y enabled./03:38
CherryGraciaTheMuso, fully enabled is part of making it a consumer grade product03:39
TheMusoYep.03:39
CherryGraciaConsumer Grade Quality by 12.04!03:39
CherryGraciaI think that with what we accomplished in 11.04, and then some innovation in how we do QA, we could really bring Free software to a lot more users03:39
CherryGraciaI mean A LOT03:39
TheMusoYep.03:40
CherryGraciaeven my wife begrudgingly admitted that Unity looked both cool and easy to use ;)03:40
RAOF:)03:40
brycehI've not yet put it on my wife's system03:40
brycehCherryGracia, qa innovations?03:40
CherryGraciabryceh, yeah03:40
brycehdo tell03:41
CherryGraciawell ... the QA team is in a position to wipe the slate clean, and help us figure out better ways to manage quality03:42

didrocksgood morning07:48
pittiGood morning07:49
pittidobey: 709494 SRU> as I said, just upload the package; uploads will be reviewed from the queue07:50
didrockshey pitti07:53
pittihey didrocks07:53
pittithe new unity seems to have a regression :/ the launcher stays on the screen even when there are windows moving under it07:53
* pitti will try to construct a reproducible test case07:53
didrockspitti: oh really? isn't it a stacking issue? I didn't get that at all07:54
didrockspitti: if you are in that state again (even if you don't have a reproducible test case, can you please: dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.canonical.Unity.Launcher /com/canonical/Unity/Debug com.canonical.Unity.Debug.Introspection.GetState string:'Launcher'07:55
didrockspitti: the value next to hide-quirks is the one interessing me07:55
pittididrocks: stacking is fine, it's just not going away when it should07:55
pittididrocks: sure, I'll try that07:55
didrockspitti: sometimes, compiz stacking is screwed in some way that isn't visible (because we force the launcher to be repainted above), and compiz doesn't tell "there is a window below"07:56
didrocksbut well, this debug info will still give us an help :)07:56
didrockspitti: there is one case with qt app dnd which doesn't release the Xorg info, but it's already in the current natty version :/07:57
pittididrocks: erm, this d-bus command just crashed unity08:04
didrocks?08:04
didrockshow come!08:04
* didrocks tries08:04
pittididrocks: anyway, I think I can reproduce it; I'll file a bug, and mark the current SRU as regression08:05
didrocksno crash here, I have the debug output as usual08:05
didrockspitti: ok, nice! :-)08:05
didrockspitti: just hilight me with the bug number then please, so that I can at least have a quick look08:08
pittididrocks: ok, got the debug output, too08:08
didrockspitti: sweet!08:09
didrockswhat the magical number? :-)08:09
didrockswhat's*08:09

ubot2Launchpad bug 772185 in unity "[3.8.12 regression] launcher sometimes doesn't hide when there are windows beneath it" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77218508:15
* pitti downgrades to confirm08:15
pittididrocks: darn, this isn't a reproducer apparently; that test case also fails with 3.8.1008:16
didrockspitti: seems that unity thinks your move is over the bfb08:17
didrockseven the trigger08:17
didrocks(the 5x5 topleft corner)08:17
* pitti will restart session a couple of times to play with this08:18
didrockspitti: so yeah, to sum up, it sees there is a window under, but the mouse is over the trigger and bfb for it08:19
didrockshence the fact it's shown08:19
pittididrocks: what is the bfb?08:19
didrocks(and I can't reproduce)08:19
didrockspitti: the ubuntu logo08:19
pittididrocks: not even in a guest session?08:20
didrocksbig friendly button :)08:20
pittilol08:20
didrockslet me try that, I'm generally swapping, so better to restart in a fresh session08:20
didrocksbrb08:20
didrocksI just try on an empty ws08:20
pittididrocks: it seems to clean up its state after a bit08:20
pittialso, it seems to go away once I open an indicator menu08:21
didrocksok, let me try restart, brb08:21
didrockspitti: interesting08:23
didrockspitti: it's before the first show/hide08:24
didrockspitti: I know why, I can fix this08:24
pittididrocks: I found another and better test case which has even worse results, but it's not a regression either08:25
pittiso I wonder what part of my gsession script triggers the regression :/08:25
didrockspitti: oh? which one? (still need the magical number from the debug output)08:25
didrockspitti: if you put your mouse over the bfb, all is magically reset, isn't it?08:26
didrocks(or over the launcher even)08:26
pittididrocks: no, not here; but let me upgrade to 3.8.12 again first08:27
pittiI even get the bubble help (for e. g. nautilus) staying around permanently08:27
didrockspitti: this one should be fixed in 3.8.12, there was a commit for that08:28
pittiright, apparently it is08:28
pittididrocks: I added an alternative test case (alt+f2, gnome-terminal --maximize)08:30
didrockspitti: alt + F2 is also in the fresh session, isn't it?08:30
didrocksanyway, all those issues are because the values aren't rightly initialized08:31
didrocksso, main case, when you start a session08:31
didrocksclick on the launcher08:31
didrocksthat resets all states08:32
didrocksI'll just give saner default first ;)08:32
pittididrocks: yes08:32
pittididrocks: and I confirmed it's not a regression, it just seems to be a race condition which my gsession script triggers08:33
didrockspitti: yeah, it's just because you automate everything and don't "click click" :-)08:33
didrocksshouldn't be long, do you want to test that in a ppa then?08:33
pittibug updated08:34
pittididrocks: it's not a biggie, so no hurry; I'll be happy to test a PPA, of course08:34
pittididrocks: I was just concerned that it is a regression, but it's not08:35
didrocksthanks pitti :)08:36
pittithanks to you!08:36
rodrigo_morning08:50
pittihey rodrigo_08:52
rodrigo_hi pitti08:53
didrockshey rodrigo_08:54
rodrigo_hi didrocks08:55
didrockspitti: ok, so it will be a very ugly workaround, not sure why compiz sent the mouse event with x/y=0:0 3 times at startup :/09:00
pittididrocks: so that's the problem? compiz sending out false coordinates when I drag the window to a different position?09:01
didrockspitti: no, false coordinates at startup only09:01
didrockspitti: so, it's the last state we register09:01
rodrigo_didrocks, that looks that $DISPLAY, not a coordinate, right?09:01
didrocksand we really believe the mouse is above the bfb09:01
pittididrocks: as I said, it's not urgent at all, as it's not a regression; if we reassign it to compiz, and it takes a little longer to fix, no problem09:01
didrocksrodrigo_: no, it's just me telling 0x0 ;)09:02
rodrigo_ah09:02
didrockspitti: not sure we should fix that before O "the right way". Everytime we touch the small tiniest thing in compiz…09:02
didrockspitti: but yeah, let's workaround it for SRU 109:02
pittididrocks: fixing in oneiric sounds fine; it doesn't seem to bite a lot of people09:03
pittiand it's easy to make it go away again09:03
didrockspitti: you are the first one to report it. The bug is there for weeks :-)09:04
pittididrocks: so, oneiric then :)09:04
didrockspitti: but an easy workaround is still possible to "polish and finish" in a SRU 1 (no need to reset the SRU 0 timer)09:04

pittiajf_: I saw, thanks! it's verified now, so it's all good09:21
glatzormvo, check out revision 654. I added a show case :)09:21
ajf_:D09:21
glatzormvo, the test_dbus_exception in tests/test_unicodedecoding.py will fail. The ErrorMessage in the end is taken from dbus _reply_error_method09:25
mvoglatzor: let me try09:25
seb128so seems like pitti hates unity and want to fail verification the sru? ;-)09:27
pittifvwm FTW!09:28
didrocksseb128: yeah, false regression in addition! we include bugs from the start us! :-)09:30
seb128;-)09:31
seb128well the thing is that he really has to try with some scripts at session startup to try to find a bug09:31
seb128that's not even fair testing :p09:31
seb128just for the record I've no issue with the new unity since yesterday09:31
didrocksseb128: well, in fact, you get it if you try to hide the launcher before putting the mouse over the bfb or launcher09:32
didrocksbut yeah, not the common case at all :)09:32
pittiyes, it's running quite fine here09:32
didrocksseb128: I think pitti wants me to have a heart attack :-)09:33
pittiand I want to keep it that way, so I'm freaking out on possible regressions, sorry :)09:33
didrockspitti: no worry, nice to have feedbacks! :-)09:33
glatzormvo, i added some comments to the test09:34
glatzormvo, I am now at the point to just call repr(msg) and ignore non ascii chars at all :)09:35
mvoglatzor: hrm, hrm, yeah, I just played with it and it seem that whatever is done its wrong09:36

seb128quite weird11:54
seb128does anybody else get that?11:54
jasoncwarnermorning everyone....11:57
seb128hey jasoncwarner11:58
seb128how are you?11:58
didrockshey jasoncwarner!11:58
jasoncwarnerhey seb128, pretty good...just trying to put the finishing touches on my talk for budapest....11:58
jasoncwarnerhey didrocks! morning...11:58
seb128jasoncwarner, what are you going to talk about there? ;-)11:59
jasoncwarnerso how is release day going? everyone feeling pretty good?11:59
jasoncwarnerseb128: mostly how awesome desktop team is11:59
seb128it does feel pretty good indeed!11:59
=== mdz` is now known as mdz
didrocksfeel… released! :-)11:59
seb128I'm still positively surprised by the unity bug reports11:59
seb128there is not a lot of complains and mostly small issues12:00
Sweetsharkjasoncwarner: as didrocks says ;)12:00
jasoncwarnerseb128: but seriously, mostly about where ubuntu is on the path to mass adoption, what we can do better and what we will do better....12:00
jasoncwarneryou know..."the year of the linux desktop" ;)12:00
seb128never read about that one before ;-)12:00
jasoncwarnerseb128: :)12:00
didrocksyeah, most of complains are design choice12:00
didrocksso no last bug "OMG" bugs ;)12:00
jasoncwarnerI got to tell you, I love using my desktop day in and day out...12:01
pittihey jasoncwarner12:01
* pitti toddles off for lunch, bbl12:01
didrocksI think the generic answer for "the year of the linux desktop" is "next year", that always work :-)12:01
seb128pitti, have fun12:01
seb128hum, lunch...12:01
jasoncwarner(still, I did choose to use faenza icons... don't shoot me!)12:01
seb128I should start looking in the fridge for something to eat12:01
seb128jasoncwarner, how dare you!? ;-)12:01
seb128(I'm pondering going back to classic scrollbars for my part, the new ones are hard to use on screen borders)12:02
didrocksjasoncwarner: and "comic sans serif" for the font?12:02
jasoncwarnerthey go so well in the launcher! It's like they were designed that way ;)12:02
jasoncwarnerdidrocks: oh man, that's low12:02
didrocks:-)12:02
didrockscoudln't resist, sorry ;)12:03
jasoncwarnerwell, after what you guys did this cycle, I can take as much ribbing as you guys want to dish out... ;)12:03
didrocksheh12:03
SweetsharkThere is nothing that starts a flamewar as easy as linux desktop themes (well, except "vi vs. emacs" and "lets have ribbon toolbars in LibreOffice")12:06
jasoncwarnerSweetshark: I'm going to stop writing my email to you right now then...12:07
* jasoncwarner deletes email about ribbon toolbars...makes note12:07
Sweetsharkhehe12:07
Sweetsharkjasoncwarner: Flamewars are not always a bad thing though ;)12:07
jasoncwarnertrue...12:08
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
jasoncwarnerI was joking about ribbon toolbars...I just want _less_ toolbars ;) too much choice is a bad thing at times!12:08
Sweetsharkjasoncwarner: very true.12:10
chrisccoulsonjasoncwarner, those faenza icons are pretty nice. i just installed them here :)12:14
seb128jasoncwarner, toolbars are nice for common actions though, especially when you menus are at the other side of the screen12:22
seb128your12:22
didrockschrisccoulson: ok, you do that? I'm switching to chromium12:25
didrocksoh… wait! :-)12:25
chrisccoulsonlol12:25
chrisccoulsondidrocks, you should be switching to epiphany12:26
didrockschrisccoulson: heh, I'm considering lynx. I heard good things of it with nvidia + launchpad :-)12:26
chrisccoulsondidrocks, well, i already decided on lynx for the default browser for next cycle12:27
chrisccoulsonafter all, it's pretty feature stable, and users like that12:27
didrockschrisccoulson: +1, no need for sessino then? :-)12:27
didrockssession*12:27
chrisccoulsonindeed :)12:27
chrisccoulsonmicahg, there we go - default browser is decided. we can cancel the session now ;)12:28
didrocksthen mutt for the email client12:28
chrisccoulsonlol12:28
didrocksand let's start on tty112:28
didrocksfast boot, no driver issue…12:28
chrisccoulsonthat would be awesome12:28
didrocksright! :-)12:28
seb128yeah, natty is out \o/12:43
seb128well done everybody, great milestone ;-)12:43
* Sweetshark thinks lynx has way too much chrome and proposes netcat as default browser.12:46
chrisccoulsonit's a shame we're all spread out so far, else i would suggest it is time to go for a beer now12:50
seb128hum; beer!12:51
mvotea!12:51
Laney10 days :-)12:51
didrocksbeer… interesting, should have bought one first ;)12:51
seb128they should have postponed until 5pm12:52
seb128lunch is not really a perfect beer time if you want to still get work done ;-)12:52
didrocksw…what? :-)12:52
rodrigo_chrisccoulson, save your money for budapest, you can invite us there to all the beers we want :)12:53
Sweetsharkchrisccoulson: I can go for a beer, the kitchen is not far. I can even pick one up for you too, if you pickit up frm my office.12:53
didrockspitti: in case you didn't see, the nux issue is fixed, I'm waiting for Jason to ack on it (not really happy about the workaround if we can get that more clean)12:53
chrisccoulsonheh :)12:53
pitti*sigh*, I missed the release!12:53
pittididrocks: just saw in mail, merci beaucoup!12:53
didrockspitti: mais de rien :-)12:53
pittididrocks: you know how happy I am that you guys have time to fix corner cases like this?12:54
pittimeans that unity must be in a really good state!12:54
* pitti huds didrocks, DBO, njpatel, and the rest of the gang12:54
* didrocks hugs pitti back!12:54
rodrigo_so, where's the list of bugs for natty's srus?12:55
* Sweetshark is looking forward to party around erzsebet ter soon ...12:56
seb128rodrigo_, things already uploaded or things that need to be fixed there?12:56
rodrigo_seb128, things that need to be fixed12:56
chrisccoulsonpitti - i have a big CD space win for oneiric already - http://paste.ubuntu.com/600233/ \o/12:57
seb128rodrigo_, there is no real list, you can watch for bugs which are marked as affecting natty12:58
rodrigo_seb128, ok12:58
pittichrisccoulson: haha!12:58
chrisccoulsonwant me to propose a merge? ;)12:58
didrockschrisccoulson: seems you want to loose your job? :p12:58
seb128rodrigo_, but usually watch for incoming bugs on things you care about and sru fixes you think are worth it, or wait for bugs to be assigned to you by qa or other people12:58
chrisccoulsonlol12:58
pittichrisccoulson: have you considered using the HURD kernel? this linux thing is huuuge!12:58
Sweetsharkseb128: are there tags to make bugs SRU candidates?12:58
seb128rodrigo_, if you have none of those start working on oneiric merges12:58
chrisccoulsonpitti - heh, i hadn't thought of that ;)12:58
pittichrisccoulson: and linux doesn't support indicators or GL12:59
seb128Sweetshark, do "also affect natty" so the bug table get a natty line12:59
seb128Sweetshark, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates12:59
seb128worth reading on the stable update topic if you are not used to those12:59
Sweetsharkchrisccoulson: please also consider replacing LibreOffice with GNU nano.13:00
chrisccoulsonSweetshark, yeah, that would be a pretty big win there :)13:00
Sweetsharkchrisccoulson: and it would make l10n so much easier.13:00
rodrigo_seb128, oh, ok, was just looking for some easy bugs to fix in idle times (= when I'm fed up of debugging my current bugs, which are weird)13:06
rodrigo_seb128, so, oneiric merges = gnome3 merges from the ppa?13:06
seb128rodrigo_, well, merges are usually "take the current debian version, review the diff with current ubuntu, summarize what changes we need to keep, send to Debian or upstream the ones that should and upload"13:07
seb128well "summarize and apply the ubuntu diff" rather13:07
seb128i.e rebase our diff on the current debian13:07
seb128and use the opportunity to review what we carry on13:07
rodrigo_seb128, ok, that's mostly what is needed for most packages in the gnome3 ppa13:07
rodrigo_also, we need to re-enable several patches, so yes, will start working on some of those13:08
rodrigo_seb128, so, we use the ~ubuntu-desktop branches for oneiric now, right?13:08
seb128yes13:08
rodrigo_ok13:08
pittirodrigo_, seb128: Robert requested an UDS session about our bzr usage, but for now I'd continue using the current branches, yes13:09
rodrigo_pitti, right13:10
didrocksthis is the 3rd time we will have this discussion, isn't it? ;)13:12
seb128rodrigo_, ok sounds great, I will bounce some bugs your way when I spot some worth fixing in SRUs but I don't have any of those yet13:12
rodrigo_seb128, ok13:12
seb128didrocks, right, seems we could do better to document how we work though13:13
seb128seems like some people don't take advantage of bzr-builddeb as they could because they are not used to it13:14
didrocksseb128: we should first look at the wiki page. Last time I checked was when I edited it… 2 years ago maybe?13:14
didrocksso should be quite deprecated13:15
rodrigo_yes, at 1st I didn't like the package only branches, but with bzr-builddeb it's very easy, much easier than having to deal with the whole upstream source code13:20
rodrigo_which makes diffs very big, when updating to a new release13:20
seb128rodrigo_, btw, in case you don't know about it, https://merges.ubuntu.com/main.html13:24
rodrigo_hmm, btw, I've seen some .pc files in /usr/lib/x86_64/pkgconfig, isn't that an incorrect place, as they are arch-independent?13:24
rodrigo_seb128, oh ok, thanks!13:25
seb128rodrigo_, are they? the lib path is different on the different archs13:25
rodrigo_oh, it's done that way so that you can 32 and 64 bits of the same -dev package?13:25
seb128rodrigo_, that list is everything that needs to be merged, quite a lot, it also give you easy diffs13:25
seb128rodrigo_, right13:25
rodrigo_seb128, but it's that possible? there's only one -dev package, so I don't see how it can have 2 versions installed?13:26
seb128rodrigo_, http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/13:26
seb128https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec13:26
seb128rodrigo_, you could have an i386 source on your amd64 install13:27
rodrigo_oh, ok13:27
nessitahello everyone!13:27
seb128that's not common though13:27
seb128hey nessita, happy natty naty ;-)13:27
nessita:-D13:28
nessitacongratulations everyone!13:28
seb128nessita, great work, I like the u1 control panel and file syncing works great for me ;-)13:28
nessitaseb128: that's is amazing to read ;-) thanks for sharing13:29
nessitaseb128: did you get any chance to ping pitti?13:29
pittinessita: I read it in scrollback13:29
seb128no, I've to admit I forgot13:29
nessitaseb128: OMG! :-o13:29
pittinessita: you don't need to wait for an ack, just upload it13:29
seb128but pitti is always on top of things ;-)13:29
pittinessita: and there were several ubuntuone related SRU uploads last night/this morning, so chances are it already happened?13:30
seb128pitti, well the sru has an ui freeze break part13:30
seb128pitti, no, that's a 10.10 sru13:30
pittiah13:30
pittithe thing with showing the name?13:30
seb128pitti, still the one about displaying that field that was hidden because the server side was not ready13:30
rodrigo_hey nessita, so how do you feel being 'released' as 11.04? :-)13:30
nessitapitti: and I don't have upload rights, so in order to ask for sponsorship I will need your stamp somewhere13:30
nessitapitti: yes13:30
didrockshey nessita! great work on u1 ;)13:30
pittinessita: which bug was that?13:31
nessitadidrocks: thanks! great work on unity ;-)13:31
didrocksnessita: thanks :-)13:31
seb128nessita, pitti: I'm fine sponsoring the upload but it was just not clear if the uif question was sorted or not13:31
nessitapitti: merge proposal with linked bug is: https://code.launchpad.net/~nataliabidart/ubuntu/maverick/ubuntu-sso-client/ubuntu-sso-client-1.0.9/+merge/5738013:31
nessitaI also have this SRU for natty ("trivial") awaiting for approval: https://code.launchpad.net/~nataliabidart/ubuntu/natty/ubuntu-sso-client/add-gnome-keyring/+merge/5905013:32
seb128nessita, I can upload that13:32
nessitaseb128: great!13:32
pittinessita: TBH, the gtkbuilder file change is hard to review, and there's a lot of other noise in that MP, so I'm trying to understand the bug description13:34
nessitapitti: can I help you somehow?13:35
pittinessita: this shows the user name in the client side dialog for sharing a folder; does it introduce any additional strings? any other behaviour changes? e. g. the gtkbuilder change seems to reorder buttons13:35
nessitapitti: this is for the SSO registration dialog (is not specific to Ubuntu One). It un-hides a text entry so the user enters his "display name" when creating a new account in SSO. We need this becasue otherwise, new accounts end up with an empty blank name in SSO, and later, in Ubuntu One, when that user creates a share, the "from" field can't be filled with some human readable info (since in SSO, the username is a openid url).13:37
pittinessita: right, but does that only show the name, or also additional strings?13:37
* rodrigo_ -> lunch13:38
nessitapitti: the XML change does reorder the buttons, but only to make room for the restored name text  entry so the original height of the dialog is not changed. There are no new strings added to the source code (they were already defined but never used)13:38
pittiah, thanks13:38
nessitapitti: thank you!13:39
nessitapitti: want instructions to run it?13:39
pittinessita: so that won't change e. g. the name of shared folders13:39
nessitanopes, this will only "affect" (help!) to newly created SSO accounts13:40
pittiack13:40
pittinessita: added my rubber stamp to the bug13:41
nessitapitti: thanks!!!13:41
pittithanks to you :)13:41
seb128nessita, I will sponsor that one as well13:41

pedro_kenvandine, oki doki so regression testing then ;-)13:44
kenvandinepedro_, basically you would get disconnected randomly after some period of time being idle13:44

chrisccoulsonheh :)14:24
seb128though I've to admit I'm glad firefox doesn't get those for now14:24
seb128they are not usuable against a screen corner and my firefox has those against a screen border14:24
seb128corner -> edge14:25
chrisccoulsonunfortunately, i can't make the scrollbars work using an extension and jsctypes ;)14:25
seb128nessita, can you set https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~nataliabidart/ubuntu/natty/ubuntu-sso-client/add-gnome-keyring/+merge/59050 to merge or delete it? it was against the natty which is locked, I uploaded to natty-proposed but I can't set the request to merge then14:32
nessitaseb128: is "Needs Review" for me14:33
nessitaseb128: and the bug is Fix Committed14:33
seb128nessita, well I don't have access to change the status14:33
seb128nessita, it's uploaded so it should be merged or deleted14:33
seb128nessita, the merge request was for natty not natty-proposed so I couldn't push it where it was supposed to land or set it to merged14:34
seb128nessita, if you see what I mean14:34
seb128nessita, well launchpad stupidity but since you filed the request please set it to merge if you can or delete it so it's not listed on the sponsoring queue, it has been hanlded14:35
nessitaseb128: I set the merge proposal to Merged14:35
seb128nessita, thanks14:35
nessita;-)14:35
seb128oh, pitti was piloting yesterday, I missed that, I would have sent a few reviews his way ;-)14:36
seb128do you guys have a preference on where, how we should share notes about work to do for oneiric, at least merges, patches to update, etc?15:00
seb128didrocks, pitti, kenvandine, rodrigo_, mterry: ^15:00
didrocksseb128: hum, wiki/etherpad? share note on u1?15:01
mterryseb128, you mean stuff smaller than workitems?15:01
didrocksnot a shared* note15:01
rodrigo_seb128, hmm, not sure, what you used before?15:01
rodrigo_a wiki seems to be the best15:01
didrocksor as before, bugs linked to versions page15:01
mterrywiki or blueprints are fine15:01
didrocksthat was nice to work with15:01
seb128didrocks, etherpad ...shared not on u1.15:01
seb128mterry, well it's not so much workitems, but like the merges, we have a decent team now and I would like to avoid that we duplicate work15:02
seb128so a place where we could dump a "I'm working on that"15:02
kenvandineseb128, bugs?15:02
seb128and where someone could write a "be careful about that patch because..." next to it if needed15:02
didrocksversions.py -> bug associated and people write on bugs if they have recommendation for the people assigned to it?15:03
seb128hum15:03
didrocksthat's how we were working before, it was fine, but if you have better ideas, I don't really care :)15:04
seb128what I don't like much in wiki and bugs is that they it's somewhat paperwork15:04
seb128well we never really used bugs for merges15:04
seb128even for updates we did tend to use IRC rather15:04
mterryseb128, status.net?15:05
didrockshum, we did sometimes IIRC, but yeah…15:05
chrisccoulsonbugs for merges would be a pain ;)15:05
didrockswiki is not really nice for multiediting15:05
chrisccoulsoni hardly ever check bugs anyway15:05
kenvandinei would vote for status.net actually, and we can easily script pulling data out of it15:05
seb128it's also slow and annoying to use (wiki)15:05
didrockschrisccoulson: if they are linked to one page (version.py) as for updates…15:05
seb128I need to learn about status.net I think :p15:05
kenvandinei use bugs@gwibber.status.net for tracking incoming gwibber bugs now15:05
kenvandinemy triaging has gotten much better :)15:05
kenvandineseb128, it might make you want to use gwibber :-D15:06
seb128lol15:06
seb128is that a good thing? ;-)15:06
didrocksis status.net available to everyone?15:06
kenvandineyup :D15:06
mterryseb128, we have an internal instance, but better to use some public one for desktop work i assume15:06
kenvandinedidrocks, yes15:06
kenvandinedidrocks, not the internal one15:06
didrocksas long as there is a didrocks on twitter…15:06
didrockskenvandine: so, which one?15:06
seb128I was leaning toward etherpad which is sort of wiki without locks and slownees15:06
kenvandinedidrocks, they have temporarily closed creating new free instances, but i know those guys15:07
didrocksseb128: we can use ubuntu-fr etherpad if needed :)15:07
mterrydidrocks, identi.ca is common public one, but you can run it anywhere?15:07
mterryno question mark there.  :)15:07
seb128are those twitting sort of things?15:07
kenvandineseb128, yes15:07
didrocksyeah, I guess so… not good for looking for history15:07
seb128sorry I still live in a web1 age :p15:07
didrockslike "who took gnome-session"15:08
kenvandineseb128, we can easily fetch json feeds from it and do anything with the data15:08
didrocksetherpad sounds fine to me15:08
didrockswe can report progress, people can comment on something and we can search15:08
seb128ok, I think we should better use bugs or etherpad for the first merge round, especially for non trivial ones which update to GNOME3 as well15:09
seb128but I've to admit I never used status.net so I can't really judge how well that would work15:09
seb128I just feel like that without a place to keep status of what we are doing we will duplicate work15:09
didrocksagreed15:10
rodrigo_yes15:10
rodrigo_status.net looks like a twitter thing, is it?15:12
* rodrigo_ has never used it15:12
mterryrodrigo_, yes15:12
rodrigo_what about using gobby? we already have a running server, right?15:12
seb128rodrigo_, etherpad is the equivalent in a web browser15:13
rodrigo_ah15:13
seb128no need of a decidated client and it has the history of what got edited15:13
didrocksso less more light in the feeling, not launching an app…15:13
chrisccoulsonand web browsers are cool15:13
seb128ok15:13
rodrigo_:)15:13
chrisccoulsonkenvandine loves web browsers15:13
seb128who would be happy with an etherpad?15:13
didrockso/15:13
seb128it's just for the initial merge round, let's see how it works15:14

seb128didrocks, where is that french etherpad of yours? ;-)15:15
didrocksseb128: let me see if we can contact it with the release (the servers have hard life right now ;))15:16
rodrigo_ah, if it's a French etherpad, I don't want it!! :-)15:16
seb128lol15:16
* kenvandine noticed launchpad was actually functional this morning15:16
micahgchrisccoulson: lol15:17
davmor2kenvandine: slow though and the rss planet feeds are in meltdown  "site= slow death by release"15:18
mterryetherpad seems fine15:19
seb128ok, let's go for an etherpad try then15:20
didrocksseb128: ok, the french one is quite in a bad state with the release (iso download of your own respin + documentation), but we can take the framasoft one :)15:21
didrocksseb128: it has backup and I can hit the administrator just 15 minutes away from home :)15:22
didrockshttp://pad.framasoft.org/15:22
seb128didrocks, ok, we should hit hard on it, it's still a small team and few editing15:23
didrocksshouldn't* isn't it? :)15:23
seb128http://pad.framasoft.org/oneiric-desktop15:23
seb128^15:23
didrocksno worry, we have a big load with www.enventelibre.org on the same server, but the server still stands :)15:23
didrocksnice!15:23
rodrigo_ah, no need to register a user15:24
didrocksseb128: welcome message is nicer :p15:25

rodrigo_didrocks, and you said there was a public API to retrieve info for etherpad, or was that status.net?15:29
seb128didrocks, what is the normal ubuntu-fr etherpad url? pad.ubuntu-fr.org?15:29
didrocksrodrigo_: well, if we want to have the info, I can access the server. Not sure about the API :)15:30
rodrigo_didrocks, no, was just wondering what it could be done15:30
didrocksseb128: those servers are common between framasoft and ubuntu-fr, we didn't make a sking for ubuntu-fr though15:30
chrisccoulsonit seems that you're all using chrome except for me and seb128 ;)15:30
rodrigo_no need for it really15:30
didrocksskin*15:30
seb128chrisccoulson, how do you know that? ;-)15:31
didrockschrisccoulson: same question :-)15:31
chrisccoulsonseb128 - hover over the names in the user list ;)15:31
chrisccoulsonit tells you the browser and IP address ;)15:31
didrocksnever noticed!15:31
seb128didrocks, it's just that it's a bit nicer to have ubuntu in the name, I'm pondering using http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/ instead which works fine as well15:31
chrisccoulsonand it's in english ;)15:31
didrocksseb128: well, I don't really care, if you prefer that, we can also use make a skin :)15:32
pittichrisccoulson, kenvandine, seb128: sorry, as away for a bit; I think it's easiest to just announce it here in the channel; as we work in chunks of an hour (per commit, at least), that ought to work?15:32
didrocksseb128: just that we have access to the server to that one in case of issue, if someone know ubuntu-uk, thats fine15:32
seb128ok, let's use http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/oneiric-desktop for now15:32

pittiseb128: pad> sure, bookmarking this15:35
seb128pitti, "I think it's easiest to just announce it here in the channel;" > well we can still do that but having a place where we can dump comments doesn't hurt and can be useful15:35
seb128it's not adding extra constrains but it can be useful for people living in opposite tz15:36

seb128rodrigo_, do you know who did the avahi gtk3 build update? is that ricotz?16:04
mvoseb128: there is a plan to port it to aptdaemon, that would solve some other problems as well16:05
seb128mvo, does that need UDS discussion or design or anything or is that a "jdi" thing?16:05
rodrigo_seb128, hmm, let me check16:06
mvoits mostly jdi, but having a session might attract contributors16:06
seb128rodrigo_, do you know also why cups-pk-helper is in the ppa? is g-c-c needing it?16:06
rodrigo_seb128, it was ricotz, yes16:06
seb128mvo, ok, I might add one if the schedule is not over busy, thanks16:06
rodrigo_seb128, yes, I think so16:06
seb128rodrigo_, ok, adding a work item to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-gtk3-gnome3 about reviewing that and filling a mir if needed16:07

seb128ok, upgrading my new natty vm to GNOME3 is a fail16:21
seb128ok, worked after a restart, I had no user first on the gdm screen16:25
kenvandineseb128, telepathy-glib bug fix release is OK for an SRU right?16:31
seb128kenvandine, guess so, I didn't check the diff or if it was worth getting16:31
seb128but bug fixes updates are fine for sru usually, better if they fix launchpad bugs16:32
kenvandinethere is a crash fix and some other bug fixes16:32
kenvandinebut also some doc fixes which makes the diff kind of big16:32
seb128kenvandine, well your call, I tend to just do updates when they fix a common issue or a bug report in launchpad16:38
seb128pitti, I've added the avahi ddeb thing to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-reduce-number-patches-packages16:58
seb128I will add things I spot that we carry for a while as a diff and should sort to the workitems there16:59
pittiseb128: ah, thanks16:59
seb128kenvandine, do you know if bug #730528 should be kept on the natty-updates list of dropped to oneiric?17:01
ubot2Launchpad bug 730528 in libappindicator "Impossible to inherit a class from AppIndicator*.Indicator in Python (gir)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73052817:01
cyphermoxseb128, pitti , I'll add a WI to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-reduce-number-patches-packages for the work that needs to be done to re-sync NetworkManager with Debian as much as possible17:07
kenvandineseb128, drop for natty17:14
kenvandineseb128, i added an overrides for that and then it causes a segfault17:15
kenvandineclearly needs more work17:15
seb128hum, somewhat the archive feels slower17:48
seb128do we have people downloading things today? ;-)17:48

didrocks(png/svg of course)17:49
seb128I see ;-)17:49

seb128I get a 404 when adding a source for it17:50
didrockswhat do the developer do?17:50
didrocksthey are slacking!!! :-)17:50
seb128didrocks, well I don't mind it to not be open to uploads yet, but it's open on launchpad and frozen, they copied natty over, I though it would be available for sources17:56
seb128I was trying to get versions pointing to it already17:56

zygahmm, what is the meaning of the bluish corner in the left-top corner of unity?18:25
* mterry has seeded 9 GiB so far18:26
didrockszyga: it's because you have an application asking for your attention18:26
mterryzyga, that means one of the apps in the launcher wants your attention.  The app should also have a blue arrow18:26
didrocksand a blue glow around it as well :)18:26
zygaoh18:26
* zyga needs to pay close attention18:26
zygaright18:27
didrockszyga: the triangle is there to tell "you need to reveal the launcher"18:27
zygathe color difference is very subtle :-)18:27
didrocksright :)18:27
zygadidrocks, I switched the launcher to never hide18:27
imachinehello18:27
imachineis it possible to have the unity menu operate with different mouse acctions than default?18:27
didrockszyga: hum, that's an overlook then, we shouldn't display that in that case :)18:27
imachinesomewhere in gconf perhaphs?18:27
imachinegsettings ?18:27
imachineusettings? :P18:27
zygadidrocks, if you want I could file a bug18:28
mterryimachine, ccsm might be what you're looking for.  It lets you change some unity interaction behavior18:28
didrockszyga: well, the action will be revisted for next cycle18:28
imachineI basically want it to work in such a way that when I left click the icon in the bar on the left in Unity, it opens the application, but if it's clicked when the app is already open, it minimises/maximises the window18:28
imachinemterry, could that be possible with ccsm ?18:28
mterryimachine, ah, no.  It doesn't give that much control18:29
* zyga cannot wait to see unity in O18:29
mterryimachine, we call that bar on the left the "launcher"18:29
imachinemterry, well, it would be easier for me to manage the windows ;d18:29
imachinemterry, can it be done, in general, at some point?18:29
mterryimachine, doesn't hurt to file a wishlist bug against unity and see what the devs say18:30
imachinemterry, on another note, what about informational widgets in Unity, maybe you know something about that? I used to have gnome show me the temperatures etc :-)18:30
imachineoh ok gonn do that :-)18:30
didrocksmterry: imachine better to discuss that on the ayatana mailing list18:30
didrocksthan opening a bug18:30
mterryimachine, ah, you probably want more indicators.  there is a weather indicator (indicator-weather)18:30
mterryimachine, listen to didrocks, not me  :)18:30
imachinemterry, l18:30
didrocksimachine: http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/, see "Design" :-)18:31
* mterry is always secretly trying to throw more bugs at didrocks18:31
didrocksmterry: I will force you to triage unity bugs either way!!! :-)18:31
didrocksmterry: I see that18:31
didrocksmterry: I have a fun activity for your holidays next week, you know… ;-)18:31
* mterry sets up a bot in #ubuntu that redirects all questions to unity bugform18:31
