[07:04] <didrocks> good morning
[08:01] <oSoMoN> good morning
[08:06] <MacSlow> greetings everybody
[09:19] <toshiba> hello is anyone there
[09:21] <toshiba> I have a unity question if anyone is avalible
[09:21] <Peddy> !ask
[09:22] <toshiba> How can I add the time and date to my desktop screen like all gnome
[09:23] <Peddy> toshiba, do you mean add it to your panel (the bar at the top of your screen)?
[09:23] <toshiba> yes that's it any thoughts ?
[09:24] <Peddy> toshiba, do you currently see any date information up there at all? or is it blank?
[09:25] <toshiba> no date, no time just signal sound, mail X and the off button
[09:26] <toshiba> in the usual place you would find the date and time
[09:26] <Peddy> toshiba, which ubuntu version are you using?
[09:27] <toshiba> 11.04 unity desktop
[09:27] <toshiba> I have been using Ubuntu gnome since 8.04
[09:27] <Peddy> toshiba, did you update from 10.10 or do a clean install?
[09:28] <toshiba> I updated but if YOu think it will help  I will start from fresh no problem with that
[09:29] <Peddy> toshiba, it probably won't. Can you open a terminal, type "unity" and press enter please?
[09:29] <toshiba> O.K
[09:31] <coz_> toshiba,  also  in terminal ,, you could try   compiz --replace & disown and or   unity --replace & disown,, not sure that is going to bring back the upper panel,, but I have experienced this at times
[09:33] <toshiba> I did it and the screen filled with data
[09:48] <toshiba> I'm sorry Peddy I did what you said "type unity in a terminal" and the screen filled and had a frozen computer so I rebooted and went to the wrong channel
[09:50] <toshiba> the panels disappear for a moment then the last line on the terminal window is "setting update "fullscreen_visual_bell" and that's it it just waits
[09:57] <toshiba> when I tried to close the waiting terminal page the computer freeze and I have to use ctrl-alt-F2 and login again and reboot from there
[11:23] <myrmidette> test
[12:11] <didrocks> kaleo: I have an additional diff for migrating natty -> oneiric, should I propose against /oneiric or /4.0 (I saw you merged the oneiric changes in 4.0, was this intended?)
[12:21] <kaleo> didrocks: there was no merge :)
[12:21] <kaleo> didrocks: it's just a nickname
[12:21] <kaleo> didrocks: 4.0 is a nickname for the branch called /oneiric
[12:21] <didrocks> oh ok, the lp:unity-2d/4.0 alias
[12:22] <kaleo> right
[12:23] <didrocks> kaleo: https://code.launchpad.net/~didrocks/unity-2d/oneiric-natty-migration/+merge/62466 then :) I faked the migration here to ensure it works well
[12:36] <didrocks> kaleo: thanks :)
[12:36]  * didrocks brb
[14:07] <mterry> njpatel (and others): I hear there is porting-indicators-to-gtk3 work to be had?  Can I help?  Shall I just grab an indicator and start porting?
[14:32] <mardy> hi, what's the bzr equivalent for "git rebase -i"?
[14:33] <mardy> I have 4 commits in a branch, the last two being corrections to the previous ones
[14:33] <mardy> I'd like to squash them in order to get only two commits in my tree, 1+3 and 2+4
[15:33] <njpatel> mterry, probably, but you'll need ted to be sure :)
[15:33] <njpatel> or maybe kenvandine
[15:34] <kenvandine> mterry, i would say just dive in and ping ted about it when you see him online
[15:34] <mterry> Doing it already, thanks guys!
[15:34] <kenvandine> we know they need porting, and i think ted wants to make sure they build for gtk2 as well
[15:35] <evaluate> Hello.
[15:35] <mterry> kenvandine, doing that too
[15:36] <kenvandine> mterry, of course you are, you rock :)
[15:37] <evaluate> I am installing an icon in my program in the location /usr/share/pixmaps/myapp/trayicon.svg and I'm having problems setting this icon as the appindicator icon with  appindicator_new_with_path()...
[15:37] <didrocks> kaleo: agateau_: oSoMoN: unity-2d is now seeded by default in oneiric, congrats \o/
[15:37] <agateau_> didrocks: congrats to you!
[15:37] <oSoMoN> didrocks: awesome, long live unity-2d :)
[15:37] <mterry> evaluate, you may consider installing it in the more standard location /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps
[15:38] <evaluate> I am passing "/usr/share/pixmaps/myapp" as the last argument and 'trayicon' as the second one.
[15:38] <evaluate> mterry, how is that location more standard than /usr/share/pixmaps ?
[15:39] <mterry> evaluate, that's part of the icon theme spec.  So it will be treated as an "icon-name" you can use in GTK.  And it will be themable if anyone wants to create a themed version of your icon
[15:39] <evaluate> I mean, if the user doesn't have the hicolor theme or has a custom theme that doesn't depend on hicolor, the icon won't work either...
[15:39] <kaleo> nerochiaro: ^ 16:37 < didrocks> kaleo: agateau_: oSoMoN: unity-2d is now seeded by default in oneiric, congrats \o/
[15:40] <didrocks> I was looking for nerochiaro, autocomplete betrayed me :)
[15:40] <evaluate> mterry, but is it guaranteed that the icons from hicolor will be available in any configuration (like the ones I mentioned above)?
[15:41] <mterry> evaluate, hicolor is the fallback theme for all icon themes, so yes
[15:43] <evaluate> mterry, ok then, now if I already have a package in Debian/Ubuntu that installs the icon to /usr/share/pixmaps, is there a way I can remove it with an update (or is that even needed)?
[15:43] <mterry> evaluate, that would be handled automatically by dpkg
[15:43] <evaluate> mterry, that's good. Thank you very much for your help!
[15:44] <mterry> evaluate, and that way, you likely wouldn't need to pass appindicator a special path, just use its normal icon setting function
[15:45] <evaluate> mterry, that's good to hear. But I'd have one more question. If in the future I'd like to install a couple more icons, is there a way to create a separate directory, or what would be the best way to handle this?
[15:46] <mterry> evaluate, look in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable.  there are other directories and such.  it doesn't matter which subdirectory you put the icons in, the theme will find them (as long as you don't invent subdirs)
[15:47] <mterry> evaluate, and if you have a png icon, put it in the appropriate top dir like 48x48 instead of scalable
[15:48] <evaluate> The icon is in svg format, so I guess scalable would be the right place.
[15:50] <mterry> evaluate, (this may be TMI, but you are allowed to put svg icons in the sized directories if they are designed to be viewed at that size)
[15:51] <evaluate> mterry, well, yeah, but afaik the scalable folder should be the fallback for any size anyway, shouldn't it?
[15:51] <mterry> evaluate, the lookup algorithm is complicated.  It's certainly the fallback if there aren't any other sized icons
[15:54] <evaluate> mterry, a final question. In my makefile I am currently installing the icon to $(datarootdir)/pixmaps/myapp. Should I change that to $(datarootdir)/icons/hicolor or is there already a more appropriate variable set for this case?
[15:55] <evaluate> s,hicolor,hicolor/scalable,
[15:56] <mterry> evaluate, no, you have to spell it out
[15:56] <mterry> don't forget the /apps too
[15:57] <evaluate> mterry, ok. Thanks again for your help!
[15:57] <evaluate> Ohh, yeah. :-)
[15:57] <mterry> evaluate, yw!
[16:14] <evaluate> mterry, hmm. Having the icon in the path you specified doesn't seem to have the desired effect either...
[16:15] <mterry> evaluate, :(
[16:15] <mterry> evaluate, did you reinstall via dpkg or just copy the file there?
[16:16] <evaluate> I installed it with make && sudo make install
[16:16] <evaluate> but I'd guess it would be the same, since make also just does a cp, doesn't it?
[16:16] <mterry> evaluate, let me give you a bit of automake magic
[16:17] <mterry> evaluate, you have to update the gtk icon cache after copying.  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/613299/ will do that nicely
[16:27] <evaluate> mterry, that worked. Thanks! :-)
[16:27] <mterry> evaluate, awesome
[16:52] <mardy> kaleo_: hi! About the home button issue...
[16:53] <mardy> kaleo_: the QToolButton is not subclassed at the moment
[16:53] <kaleo_> mardy: correct, it's a pain :(
[16:54] <kaleo_> mardy: I am sorry about that
[17:01] <mardy> kaleo_: should I add the subclass in a different source file, or in the same?
[17:01] <racarr> @dbarth Hi. I sent you a pm just in case you missed. ready when you are :)
[17:01] <racarr> woah...did I just twitter message on IRC? -.- brain scattered
[17:02] <mardy> kaleo_: OK. But then I'll also move the timing in that subclass, so that HomeButtonApplets will not have any hacks
[17:04] <Kaleo> mardy: sorry, I have connection issues today
[17:04] <Kaleo> mardy: in a different source file would make sense
[17:04] <Kaleo> mardy: and moving the hack in that class makes a lot of sense
[17:04] <Kaleo> mardy: it will give us reusability
[17:04] <mardy> Kaleo: agreed, thanks!
[17:46] <mardy> Kaleo: do you know how I can squash two commits together in bzr? (having some other commits in between: so, it's actually a re-order + squash)
[17:47]  * mardy already misses git :-)
[17:48] <Nafai> mardy: I always miss git when I have to use bzr )
[17:48] <Nafai> :)
[17:58] <Kaleo> mardy: sorry I don't know
[17:58] <Kaleo> mardy: but it's fine, what matters most to us is the merge commit
[18:25] <mardy> OMG! I need to try this! https://github.com/termie/git-bzr-ng
[18:28] <mardy> Kaleo: I updated the review request
[18:28] <mardy> Kaleo: seems work fine now :-)
[18:29] <mardy> *to
[18:33] <Kaleo> mardy: fantastic!
[18:34] <Kaleo> mardy: I have to run now, but I'll take a look and I guess merge it right away :)
[18:34] <Kaleo> (or let the robot merge for me)
[18:35] <mardy> Kaleo: I did a small variation, so I prefer that you review it. I'm not in a hurry, so take your time :-)
