pittiGood morning05:35
TheMusoHey pitti.05:35
pittichrisccoulson: as the original reporter, would you mind testing language-selector in -proposed for bug 771176? would be much appreciated06:35
ubot2Launchpad bug 771176 in language-selector "langauge-selector non-functional in natty due to missing gnome-user-guide-xx packages" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77117606:35
chrisccoulsonhi pitti. sure, i can do that in a bit07:48
pittihey chrisccoulson, good morning07:48
chrisccoulsongood morning :)07:48
chrisccoulsonpitti - language-selector verified now. i could have commented earlier really, i've been using language-selector to test some other stuff already ;)08:49
pittichrisccoulson: awesome, thanks08:50
chrisccoulsonpitti - if we ship firefox translations in separate packages in the future, do we need to update language-selector to pull in the firefox translations when firefox is installed?08:51
pittichrisccoulson: yes08:51
chrisccoulsonpitti - is there any way to trigger language-selector to install the correct language packs if someone installs firefox after install? (eg, someone using KDE perhaps)08:52
chrisccoulsonor does that only happen manually?08:52
pittichrisccoulson: right now it happens manually; it's a rather long-standing TODO item to integrate this into software-center08:53
pittie. g. if you install a KDE package under Ubuntu, it should pull in l-p-kde-*08:54
chrisccoulsonpitti - it might be worth discussing that at UDS then. perhaps we should have a separate session for translations after all08:54
pittithat's not a ffox specific problem, though08:55
pittichrisccoulson: we could add it to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-clean-up-language-support08:55
chrisccoulsonpitti - sure, that sounds good08:56
chrisccoulsonand i'm coming to that one anyway ;)08:56
chrisccoulsonperhaps we should invite mvo to that one too then08:56
pittichrisccoulson: updated description, please feel free to sub08:56
chrisccoulsonthanks08:56
pittichrisccoulson: sub'ed mvo08:57
chrisccoulsoncool, thanks08:57
rodrigo_morning09:40
pittihey rodrigo_09:42
rodrigo_hi pitti09:43
seb128hey pitti rodrigo_09:52
pittibonjour seb12809:53
rodrigo_hi pitti09:56
pittiseb128: how's the sprint?09:56
rodrigo_sorry, hi seb12809:56
rodrigo_already said hi to pitti :)09:56
seb128pitti, less busy today with half of the people at somehand09:56
seb128but nice otherwise09:56
rodrigo_seb128, how's the weather in budapest, btw?09:58
seb128rodrigo_, sorry got sidetracked, weather is nice10:53
seb128over 20°c during the day, nice enough to have a tshirt10:54
seb128but better to have a jacket for the evenings10:54
rodrigo_ok, cool10:55
rodrigo_seb128, so after rebasing from debian, we can keep doing our own changes to the gnome3 packages, right? like updating to a new upstream version, right?10:56
seb128sure10:56
rodrigo_ok10:56
seb128you can do it in the same update10:56
seb128just bump the changelog version10:56
seb128no need of a new changelog entry10:57
seb128just update the one you are using to summarize the changes to the current version10:57
rodrigo_seb128, well, I already uploaded the package, so need a proper update10:57
seb128right10:59
jbichawhat's the scope of the gnome3 PPA? is it going to be a copy of everything gnome3 from oneiric?11:15
jbichafor instance, gnome-panel 3 won't play nice with Natty's indicators so it wouldn't be as useful to have that11:16
jbichain the PPA, right?11:16
rodrigo_jbicha, ideally, we should keep the ppa to have 3.0.x updates, at least for what we have right now11:17
rodrigo_jbicha, for the panel, once it's available in oneiric, we can just backport it to the PPA11:17
rodrigo_jbicha, but remember we 1st need e-d-s 3.011:18
rodrigo_that's why I didn't even try to package it11:18
jbichayou mean evolution?11:18
rodrigo_yes, evolution-data-server11:18
jbichathat's required for gnome-panel?11:18
rodrigo_yes, for the clock applet afaik11:18
rodrigo_we can build without it though11:19
jbichabut is gnome-panel 3 a good idea for Natty users?11:20
rodrigo_jbicha, are you going to UDS?11:20
rodrigo_jbicha, well, see the thread in ubuntu-devel-discuss, it seems it is for some11:20
jbichano, I don't have the money & didn't apply for sponsorship, I'm going to try to get sponsored for Orlando though11:20
jbichais this guy's Evolution good? https://launchpad.net/~danilo/+archive/evolution11:22
rodrigo_yes, that's danilo, so yeah!11:22
jbichaok, I don't know him :-) but I'm relatively new to the Desktop team11:23
rodrigo_he told me about his epiphany packages, but not these ones, so cool that we have them11:24
jbichaI found it through reading through some of the forums today, the forums are a scary place11:25
rodrigo_yes, they are :)11:25
rodrigo_but I see you can find useful info sometimes :)11:25
jbichagksudo apt-get dist-upgrade appears to break .ICEauthority permissions not that I've ever tried that11:26
jbichaI wish we could nuke the ill-advised recommendations there11:27
rodrigo_in the forums? isn't there a forum administrator/reviewer?11:31
jbichaoh, I haven't tried the report post feature, let me see if that works11:34
seb128rodrigo_, the issue is that we can't port the gnome-panel to gtk3 without applets and indicators and if indicators then unity11:47
seb128jbicha, ^11:47
jbichaseb128: so are you saying you don't want gnome-panel 3 in even Oneiric yet?11:49
seb128correct11:49
rodrigo_seb128, right, we need to port everything11:49
seb128we should start with components we can get in without breaking our default desktop and then think about transitions for the remaining bits11:49
seb128same for gdm11:49
rodrigo_yes11:49

cassidyseb128, are you still having users reporting this crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/750118 ?15:46

seb128cassidy, not recently15:47
seb128we turn off apport by default in stable but we didn't get recent duplicates before doing either it seems15:47
cassidyseb128, neither of us is experiencing is any more so I'm wondering if it may have been fixed as a side effect of another change15:48
seb128could be15:48
seb128you can close it if you think it's fixed, we will reopen if needed15:48
cyphermoxseb128: I'm looking at the policykit-1-gnome merge, running into a small issue -- would it be better to follow upstream, which drops status icons for temporary authz and also drop out indicator patch, or keep the indicator patch and increase it with the partial revert of the commit which drops status-icon support?15:54
cassidyseb128, ok, please let me know if more dups are reported15:54

seb128re16:15
seb128cyphermox, sorry got sidetracked16:15
seb128cyphermox, do you know why they dropped it? you should check with mpt what design think about it16:15
cyphermoxsure16:16
cyphermoxit got dropped mostly because gnome-sheel doesn't have status icons ;)16:16
mpt\o/16:16
seb128well GNOME3 stopped using it iirc16:16
cyphermoxok16:16
seb128well they don't integrated the authentification agent in the shell, or at least the ui16:17
seb128-don't16:17
seb128mpt, \o/ means we don't need to bother about having an icon indicating that the password is unlocked?16:18
rodrigo_status icons are deprecated in gnome3, notifications are used instead16:18
seb128rodrigo_, well notifications are not great at telling you the status of something16:19
cyphermoxrodrigo_: yeah, the problem is what to do with the indicator patch that more or less depends on it ;)16:19
seb128they are nice to tell you what changed16:19
cyphermoxfwiw, I don't feel strongly about that particular indicator16:19
rodrigo_seb128, there's a bar at the bottom in the shell, with icons for the notifications16:19
cyphermoxall it would allow you to do would be drop the privs; you can still wait for it to timeout, or lock screen which should eventually drop them16:20
rodrigo_seb128, so, it can be used for status notifications16:20
seb128well it also tell you that the authentification is granted16:20
rodrigo_cyphermox, which indicator patch?16:20
pittigood night everyone!16:20
cyphermoxrodrigo_: the one for policykit-1-gnome16:20
seb128rodrigo_, right, so it's not totally deprecated16:20
cyphermoxnight pitti16:20
seb128pitti, have fun16:20
rodrigo_seb128, no, what is deprecated, or being deprecated, is GtkStatusIcon16:21
seb128rodrigo_, they still display those in the messaging area though?16:21
rodrigo_seb128, in the bottom bar of gnome-shell, which is hidden all the time until you hover the mouse to the bottom right corner16:22
seb128right16:22
rodrigo_seb128, the icons in the top bar are, afaik, gnome-shell extensions16:22
rodrigo_although there is the network manager icon, so I guess it has a systray also16:22
seb128well it's bit orthogonal to the question to know if we need a visual clue that authentification are granted and a way to revoke the active token16:22
seb128which was the question there16:23
rodrigo_yeah, sorry, joined the discussion in the middle :)16:23
mptseb128, sorry, was in a meeting16:23
seb128mpt, no worry16:24
mptseb128, yes, if the icon is gone, there's a bug reported about that that is now fixed16:25
mptabout the icon not being understandable16:25
seb128ok great16:25

cyphermoxgreat16:26
seb128should we indicate in some other way that they is an active privilege token?16:26
seb128let me read the bug ;-)16:26
seb128well there is still an usecase it solved, but I guess if people have issues they will file a bug and we can handle it as a wishlist for better priviledge handling16:28
mptseb128, right. One example might be a checkbox in the initial PolicyKit dialog.16:28
mpt(Though that still wouldn't let you clear it after the fact.)16:29
seb128let's do the obvious and easy fix for now and follow upstream on dropping the icon16:30
cyphermoxok.16:32
cyphermoxas for dropping privs, it was in the upstream bug about this being dropped (or the commit), that eventually screensaver should call for polkit to drop privs, which may cover one such use case16:33
mptyeah, I was just thinking about dropping them when you choose Lock Screen16:33
cyphermoxwe need to rework screensaver stuff this cycle no? this should probably be added to the blueprint16:37
