RAOFDBO: What was the missing feature of Xorg that made doing proximity-menus difficult?00:03
DBOyou cant track the cursor without polling it00:04
RAOFSo, if I said that you could register to get raw pointer events and if you're an Xi 2.1 client you'd always get them delivered regardless of the grab state, would that qualify?00:05
RAOFI'm wondering because that's something we could cherry-pick back to 1.10 for oneiric if you were interested.00:07
DBORAOF, color me interested00:20
Nafaioh nice00:21
RAOFDBO: Sweet.  I'll ping you when it's in oneiric, then.00:22
thumperDBO: oh hai00:27
DBOoh hai00:27

jo-erlendwho can tell me how to write a Unity lense in Python?01:25
Vampire0Hi, anyone around?01:46
Vampire0I'm having a problem. I distribute an application. Actually a Java application. The application also provides a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. Directly after installing the .deb package, the Dash can find the application, but if I start it, only a gray box with question mark and title "win0" appears in the launcher. Pinning that is not possible and also vanishes if you restart unity. This b01:46
Vampire0ehaviour exists until Unity is restarted. From then on all behaves well. Is there any trigger call I have to make in my postinst script to make this work properly immediately after installation?01:46

MacSlowgreetings everyone08:08
didrocksJohnLea: around?09:11
JohnLeadidrocks; hyia09:11
didrocksJohnLea: some questions on unity quicklists, we need some guidelines for capitalization09:12
didrocksJohnLea: some quicklist have all words capitalized, others not09:12
didrocksJohnLea: what do you advise?09:12
didrocksCreate a New Document09:12
didrocksor09:12
didrocksCreate a new document09:12
JohnLeadidrocks; First letter of each line capitalized, names all capitalized.  e.g. "Create a new document" and "Open Office" are both correct09:13
didrocksJohnLea: thanks for the guideline, can you update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI#Static Quicklist entries with this quickly please?09:14
andyrock"Keep in launcher" not "Keep In Launcher"09:17
didrocksandyrock: what is it in English right now?09:21
didrocks(it's "Conserver dans le lanceur" in french)09:22
andyrockdidrocks, i use English in natty right now... so yes09:22
=== rodrigo__ is now known as rodrigo_
didrocksandyrock: heh, so not coherent, should be fixed, but taking care to not break all translations09:23
* didrocks needs to import the launchpad translations upstream09:24
andyrockdidrocks, should we open a bug about this?09:26
didrocksandyrock: yes please, just ensure to emphasize that we should take care of translations in the description :)09:27
andyrockdidrocks, ayatana-design, unity, unity (ubuntu) right'09:28
andyrock?09:28
didrocksandyrock: I would say no need for ayatana-design09:28
didrocksJohnLea: we have "Keep In Launcher", should be "Keep in launcher", right?09:29
JohnLeadidrocks, andyrock; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI updated with answer to the capitalisation question in the faq, I also added a brief section detailing 'quicklist elements'09:29
didrocksJohnLea: you rock!09:30
didrocksandyrock: so that answers, just open unity/unity (ubuntu)09:30
andyrockdidrocks, i got it09:31

andyrockdidrocks, i don't know if it is fine09:39
didrocksandyrock: perfect, I triaged it :) thanks!09:39
andyrockdidrocks, thx you :)09:40
andyrockDBO, are you here?10:02
Zhenechcould someone please merge https://code.launchpad.net/~sargentd/indicator-network/libnotify-bd/+merge/64126? the previous upload is broken :>10:13
Zhenechdidrocks, thanks! and yes, unreleased "we" use too, that one was a mistake :)10:35
didrocksZhenech: yeah, I was surprized by a DD :-)10:36
didrocksZhenech: nice if you are there, also the branch isn't the right one, (debcheckout <source_packagename> indicates the right one10:37
didrocksZhenech: but no worry, I'm pushing your change to the right places (in ubuntu-desktop, we tend to use debian/ only branch)10:37
didrockshum 0.3.8-0ubuntu2 is missing in this branch as well10:38
Zhenechthat's the one i checked out with lp:ubuntu/package as I do always :)10:39
didrocksZhenech: yeah, but desktop branches are in lp:~ubuntu-desktop/package/ubuntu :)10:40
didrocksZhenech: debcheckout should checkout you the right branch10:40
Zhenecheven on a debian machine? ;)10:40
didrocksI agree it's confusing, sorry about that10:40
didrocksZhenech: not sure, it's quite fun sometimes as it tries to take the git repo ;)10:40
Zhenechheh, will try at some point10:41
didrocksno worry, I'm fixing the "history" :-)10:41
Zhenechgreat, thanks10:45

andyrockjcastro, hi16:37
andyrockjcastro, about the unity contributors meetings16:37
andyrockjcastro, where will be held?16:40
andyrocknjpatel, i am working on launcher device settings for reproposing this (https://code.launchpad.net/~andyrock/unity/launcher-devices-improvement/+merge/54100)17:05
andyrocki have to follow the google c++ code style?17:06
njpatelandyrock, ideally, if it's a new chunk of code, yes. If it's just fixes in existing code, then it's probably good to keep to the existing style17:21
* njpatel needs to run astyle over the codebase at some point17:21
andyrocknjpatel, ok... i will use old style ;)17:22
njpatel:)17:22
andyrocknjpatel, what about stl data type?17:22
njpatelandyrock, yeah, use C++ data types if you can17:27
njpatelandyrock, also look at GLibWrapper*17:28
njpatelit's kind of interesting :)17:28

cyphermoxtedg: re the appindicator signals, are you waiting for me to update my branch or are you doing it directly? I'm not exactly certain what conclusion we got to ;)19:24
tedgcyphermox, I think using open/close makes more sense.  What do you think?19:26
cyphermoxi'm fine with either solution19:27
cyphermoxdoes appindicator already expose open/close?19:27
cyphermox(also, I notice now that the fallbacks don't seem to work properly with my code)19:27
tedgcyphermox, No, it'd be basically the same code, except you'd respond to the custom event siganl.19:27
tedgcyphermox, We'd need to figure out how to get those signals in the fallback case as well.19:27
tedgHmm, they shouldn't have broken...19:28
cyphermoxhuh, you mean catch the open/close from dbusmenu and send it through appindicator, and add the return value stuff?19:28
tedgcyphermox, No, with open and close there is no return.  They're just a reflection of state.19:28
cyphermoxok19:28
tedgcyphermox, So then we could resynthize the fallback by looking at whether the menu is displayed or not.19:29
tedgThinking about the fallback I think open/close makes even more sense.19:29
cyphermoxwhat I'm worried about is that setting a new menu when I get an open signal will replace the menu but not leave it in open state (or visible on the screen, if you will)19:29
cyphermoxyeah19:29
tedgIt should.  We replace all kinds of items pretty regularly on the messaging menu for instance.19:30
cyphermoxstatusicon stuff in nm-applet uses show/hide19:30
tedgIt would be best if you didn't do a full replacement, but it's not the end of the world either way there.19:30
cyphermoxI can't easily figure out what to replace... unless you have specific ideas for that?19:30
cyphermox(I mean, to not replace the whole menu, just parts of it)19:31
tedgEh, okay.  It'd have to be designed that way in the application.19:31
cyphermoxyeah19:31
cyphermoxok, so I'll update the code in my branch and test it some more19:32
