RenatoSilvado you guys intend to incorporate the changes from git repo of emerald which makes it work with natty's compiz?01:22
RenatoSilvai.e. are you planning to update emerald package from upstream?01:22
RenatoSilvaI'm desperately trying to find a way to enable emerald in natty. I can't find any deb package tough, only manual steps for installing from git source01:22
RenatoSilvadoes anyone know a reliable ppa with the compatible emerald packaged in?01:23
charlie-tcaRenatoSilva: not a ppa, but I think there is a .deb attached to this bug -01:41

pittiGood morning05:48

ftapitti, hi, got what?05:49
pittithe duplicated apport report entries05:50
ftajust ubuntu-bug compiz05:51
ftaor unity05:51
fta(in oneiric)05:51
pittifta: doesn't work with unity here, but I do get one dup'ed field with compiz; thanks05:55
Sweetsharkmorning all!08:04
fta2pitti, could you please do something about apport-retrace replacing libc6-dbg with libc6-dbgsym + libc-bin-dbgsym? libc6-dbg is a dep of valgrind,08:07
fta2pitti, i need valgrind on my dev box, and each time i use apport-retrace (which is nice to have on a dev box too), it leaves the system broken (apt requiring -f, various apt cron jobs failing, etc.)08:08
didrocksgood morning08:11
pittibonjour didrocks08:12
didrocksguten morgen pitti! How are you?08:12
pittiSplendid, thanks! how about you?08:12
didrocksI'm good, thanks. Nice to be home for a short time :-)08:12
pittididrocks: how was the Qt summit?08:13
didrockspitti: was excellent. Lot of friendly people, interesting discussions about Qt 5 and QML, also, I've been able to advance a lot on the a11y side  :)08:14
pittifta2: still in oneiric? it should prefer libc6-dbg over libc6-dbgsym if available08:15
fta2pitti, yep, oneiric08:16
pittithe -dbg vs. -dbgsym handling is quite a mess; originally it didn't install -dbg in the first place, but a contributor got that added because it was useful for him08:16
fta2pitti, http://paste.ubuntu.com/629707/08:17
pittithe best would be to not ever unpack/install those, and just tell gdb "debug symbols are in /tmp/foo/, not in /usr/lib/debug/"08:18
pittibut back then I haven't found a way to do that08:18
pittiAFAIR because the path is usually hardcoded in the ELFs08:18
fta2pitti, i also have plenty of -dbg, so not replacing those by -dbgsyms is also something i want (it doesn't work very well atm, if at all)08:20
pittifta2: you should probably just run it as user, and not touch the packages at all08:21
fta2pitti, then the retraced traces are useless08:21
pittiit should still tell you which packages it would install08:22
fta2does it?08:22
fta2even in root, it no longer installs the right dbgsym, since that multi-arch thing landed, i have to locate and install half of the dbgsyms myself08:23
pittithat's still on my list08:23
fta2(i do that with a script)08:24
fta2didrocks, hi, do you know the bug id of the unity_support_test nvidia crash (oneiric)? i can't find it (and i can't stand unity-2d anymore)08:25

pitticdbs: can you run it in a terminal with --verbose?08:29
* cdbs checks08:29
didrocksfta2: no, I let dx people now handling their own bug. I didn't get the crash though08:31
didrocksfta2: better to ask them directly on #ayatana I would guess (after 10am)08:31
cdbspitti: Oh wait, it comes up, but it doesn't put itself inside an indicator08:32
cdbsin the Unity panel08:32
pitticdbs: right, I get that, too08:32
fta2didrocks, ok, /me sad. seb said last week it was known, but i still can't find the bug. it's only crashing in 1 of my 2 nvidia desktops08:33

seb128didrocks, you asked for it! ;-)08:56
seb128didrocks, was the hackfest useful at least?08:56
didrocksseb128: very useful (wasn't really a hackfest, more an UDS-like events with discussions)08:57
didrocksseb128: interesting to see where they want to push Qt 5. Seems to be a good approach. Got good progresses on a11y and I hope I'll be able to push them this week on ubuntu (at least, today in our ppa)08:57

seb128let me restart after upgrade and update you on dx world09:01
rodrigo_morning09:19
pittifta2: ah, I suppose what's happening is that it tries to install libc-bin-dbg, doesn't see it, installs libc-bin-dbgsym instead, and afterwards gets to libc609:22
pittiany idea how to tell python-apt to always DTRT here?09:23

seb128pitti, we are receiving some nautilus segfault bugs due to the g-i-t split :-(09:26
pittiseb128: do we know which ones are missing? is the name in the trace by any chance?09:26
seb128pitti, I'm trying to figure what icon is creating issues, will let you know if I found it09:26
pittiseb128: I suppose it's because we are again using the gnome theme, not the humanity one?09:27
seb128pitti, no, those bugs don't have a stacktrace, they just state that installing the g-i-t-f binary solves it09:27
pittiseb128: I even have gnome-themes-standard installed, but even that doesn't work any more09:27
seb128it doesn't?09:27
didrockshey rodrigo_09:27
pittiseb128: I fully expect a lot of crashes if programs don't actually use the humanity theme09:27
pittiI didn't put "all used icons" into g-i-t, just "all used icons which aren't in humanity"09:28
rodrigo_bonjour didrocks09:28
pittiseb128: does it for you? it stopped working a few days ago09:28

seb128rodrigo_, do you know if we will needs cups-pk-helper if we use s-c-p instead of the control-center panel this cycle? (if we need it we should write a mir)16:04
seb128kenvandine, TheMuso: do you have any opinion on bug #79060816:05
ubot2Launchpad bug 790608 in libcanberra "libcanberra needs to depend on sound-theme-freedesktop" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79060816:05
rodrigo_seb128, hmm, did s-c-p need it before?16:05
kenvandineseb128, not really16:05
seb128rodrigo_, no, s-c-p doesn't need it I think, but you can't add a printer using g-c-c in oneiric without it16:05
seb128kenvandine, did you read it?16:05
seb128kenvandine, TheMuso: basically the kubuntu guys made canberra install the fdo sound theme so we have 2 sound themes on the CD now16:06
rodrigo_seb128, right, so yes, we probably need it16:06
kenvandinejust the title, but i know very little about the sound theme16:06
seb128rodrigo_, ok thanks, I keep the workitem for the mir then ;-)16:06
seb128rodrigo_, well "keep", let it on the spec free to grab by whoever wants to do it16:06
rodrigo_seb128, ok, let me know if you need me to do something16:06
rodrigo_ah, ok :)16:06
seb128rodrigo_, if you want to write the mir feel free16:06
rodrigo_I'll look at it as soon as I finish the couple g-c-c tasks I'm working on16:07
seb128rodrigo_, no hurry, finish what you are working on16:07
seb128rodrigo_, thanks16:07
rodrigo_ok :)16:07
seb128kenvandine, ok, let's wait to see if TheMuso has an opinion on that16:07
pierce1so, when I try to do an apt-get update after adding the gnome3-team ppa, I get --  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found16:37
pierce1is it broken with now, or did I mess something up?16:38
micahgpierce1: that's not the right PPA16:38
pittirodrigo_, seb128: I thought we wanted to use s-c-p and its GUI in oneiric, instead of the trimmed down g-c-c one?16:38
pierce1my updates stopped working, so I removed all ppas, then tried adding the gnome3 ppa back, and now I'm getting 40416:38
pittiwe shouldn't have both IMHO16:38
rodrigo_pitti, yes, we are16:38
pierce1micahg: what is the current recommended ppa for gnome 3?16:39
rodrigo_pitti, but I'm looking at having g-c-c panel and call s-c-p for adding and configuring printers, as embedding it in g-c-c looks horrible16:39
pittirodrigo_: in the worst case, it could spawn the external s-c-p GUI?16:40
rodrigo_yes, that's what I'm working on16:40
pittirodrigo_: we'll probably need that for at least some parts anyway (u1 control center, etc.)16:40
rodrigo_to call s-c-p from u1?16:41
pierce1micahg: the one I am using now is the one I had working back a couple months ago, and all other PPAs I could find looked older16:41
pittirodrigo_: u1-control-panel, sorry16:41
pittirodrigo_: no, from g-c-c16:41
rodrigo_ah, ok16:41
rodrigo_but u1 has an indicator, right?16:42
dobeyno16:43
micahgpierce1: AFAIK, https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome316:43
pittirodrigo_: I don't think so16:43
dobeywell we have a launcher16:43
seb128u1 will have a sync indicator16:43
pittirodrigo_: you launch it from the messaging menu usually16:43
seb128but probably not this cycle16:43
seb128no?16:43
rodrigo_ok, so it can have the control panel there, right?16:43
seb128or I got confused with things from previous cycle16:43
pittiit does16:43
rodrigo_no need to embed it in g-c-c, that is16:43
pittibut we also have language-selector, jockey, software-properties, and whatnot16:43
seb128well those can stay standalone16:44
rodrigo_all will look horrible embedded16:44
seb128if needed16:44
pittimy preferred solution would be to get rid of the g-c-c shell altogether and keep them all standalone really16:44
rodrigo_so yeah, spa¡wning a separate window for those might work16:44
pittiand provide a unity lens or similar for it instead16:44
pittipretty much what we used to have with the system menu16:44
seb128pitti, getting ride of the g-c-c shell? why?16:44
pittiseb128: do you like it?16:44
rodrigo_pitti, then the g-c-c panels won't be availabel16:44
seb128pitti, like all the upstream capplet are integrated with it16:44
pittiI liked the system -> prefs one better, also integrated better with non-upstream settings16:45
seb128pitti, not especially but it got quite some work and design work so I guess some people think it's better ;-)16:45
dobeyrodrigo_: can't you launch the g-c-c shell with a specific module already opened? like gnome-control-center --capplet=display or something?16:46
seb128you can16:46
rodrigo_dobey, yes16:46
dobeyi guess you can't hide the "go back" and other bits of the shell though16:47
pittithat's what the capplet menu entries do16:47
pittiwell menu -> .desktop files (whcih unity displays)16:47
rodrigo_dobey, right, you can't hide that16:48
rodrigo_pitti, what I don't like about the system menu is that it was overloaded with lots of stuff16:49
rodrigo_so if we go that way, there should at least be some categories16:49
seb128having a lens to list those capplets and the shell would give you both16:52
seb128then anyone is free to pick what they like16:53
pittigood night everyone! time for Taekwondo16:58

mterryahem, is anyone else seeing crazy unity-panel-service crashes?  I'm assuming my ido upload broke things?17:09
seb128kenvandine, mterry, tedg: can we get https://code.launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/indicator-me/gsettings/+merge/58065 merged?17:10
seb128mterry, I don't but I didn't get your update yet17:10
mterryseb128, well, don't update  :)17:15
seb128mterry, the binary are in the NEW queue so I will keep them there17:15
seb128mterry, or do you want me to reject them?17:16
mterryseb128, not yet17:16
seb128ok, I keep them there for now17:16
mterryseb128, not sure what's going on here.  can't seem to get gdb to catch an issue17:16
kenvandineseb128, i think indicator-me is going away17:17
seb128kenvandine, can we merge that anyway and get a tarball in oneiric for the time it's still used?17:18
kenvandineseb128, sure17:24
mterryseb128, hrm, downgrading libido didn't fix the problem, so false alarm from that end.  but my unity-panel-service is still broken.  still looking17:35
seb128mterry, does it go down or what?17:36
mterryseb128, yeah, panel keeps crashing and restarting17:37
mterrykilling the internet connection, which is annoying17:37
seb128mterry, stacktrace?17:38
mterryseb128, haven't been able to get one!  gdb isn't giving me anything useful17:38
mterryno apport report or anything either17:39

tedgIs there a reason we're not on libjson-glib 0.13.4?  Or is it just that folks haven't had time to package it yet?20:34
dobeytedg: you haven't packaged it yet :)20:37
dobeytedg: and new version isn't in debian yet, i guess20:39
tedgdobey, Solving it now :-)20:39
tedgStupid G_CONST_RETURN20:39
tedgAnyone know how to suppress this error?  dpkg-source: error: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but Maintainer: does not have Ubuntu address20:42
james_wtedg, DEBEMAIL=ted@example.com debuild IIRC20:43
brycehtedg, yep20:43
brycehtedg, update-maintainer20:43
james_wor that :-)20:43
tedgbryceh, I said "suppress" not "fix" ;-)20:43
brycehtedg, do you regularly suppress errors rather than fix them?  ;-)20:45
brycehtedg, did james_w's suggestion work?20:47
ricotzhello, speaking of G_CONST_RETURN, i hope someone looks into gstreamer 0.10.35 :)20:49
tedgbryceh, No, I never suppress, can you sponsor this for me when I'm done?20:49
tedgbryceh, I didn't try, but I think that only works when doing the dch, right?20:49
tedgOr maybe with a debuild -us -uc20:49
tedg'cause it'd try to sign it wrong.20:49
bryceh-us just makes it unsigned, pretty sure it won't affect whether that error shows up20:52
tedgYeah, but I think that if you have DEBEMAIL=ted@example.com then it'll try to sign with the ted@example.com key and give that error with out it.20:53
brycehah20:55
tedgOkay, so I've got an updated Bazaar branch with the new version.20:55
tedgWhere do I propose that to be merged?20:55
tedgJust to lp:ubuntu/json-glib?20:55
tedg--review ubuntu-desktop?20:55
micahgthe check that's done is if DEBEMAIL has an ubuntu address, it errors if the maintainer doesn't have an Ubuntu address20:57
brycehtedg, to propose it getting merged subscribe ubuntu-sponsors to the bug21:07
tedgbryceh, Hmm, so I need a bug.21:08
tedgbryceh, Can I make a merge request and make ubuntu-sponsors the approver?21:09
tedgWill that show up in the patch pilot thingy?21:09
micahgtedg: that should happen automatically for a merge into lp:ubuntu/foo21:09
brycehtedg, I think so lemme check21:09
brycehtedg, http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/udd-sponsorship.html looks like the applicable doc for this case21:12
brycehwhich suggests what micahg's says.21:12
nixterrimusHello!  Anybody know if there are GTK+ 3 bindings for Ruby? I'd love to develop for ubuntu in Ruby.21:14
tedgbryceh, micahg, Cool, thanks.21:15
tedgAnyone know why dholbach didn't use lp-propose-merge?21:15
tedgnixterrimus, I believe there is support for GObject Introspection in Ruby, which would provide GTK+ 3 bindings.  I've not used it though.21:16
nixterrimusIs it ok to continue GTK 2 apps using Ruby?21:16
brycehtedg, might want to ask dholbach directly21:17
tedgnixterrimus, In general yes.  They probably won't be allowed on the default CD with GTK 2.21:18
tedgnixterrimus, I would expect Ubuntu will continue to ship GTK 2 for quite a while.21:18
nixterrimustedg, would ruby be a bad choice for developing an App for the software store right now?21:18
tedgbryceh, You guys are poor proxies for dholbach ;-)21:19
brycehtedg, indeed21:19
tedgnixterrimus, No, not really.  It's not hugely popular, so it might be more difficult to find tutorials and such, but there are no language requirements.21:19
micahgI think xubuntu will need GTK 2 until at least 13.04, if you need a reference point :)21:19
nixterrimusIs Python a better choice then?  I'm a Rails developer by day so Python isn't too much of a stretch21:20
tedgnixterrimus, For supportability yes.  Most of the Ubuntu specific utilities are written in Python for instance (the installer, apport, etc.)21:22
tedgnixterrimus, There's also a "Rails Like" GUI builder utility in Python called Quickly.21:23
nixterrimustedg, thanks I'll have to check that out21:23
dobeynixterrimus: you're writing an app to sell in the store, or a foss app to ship in Ubuntu?21:24
nixterrimusdobey, I'm not sure yet, I'm trying to get to the hello world state.  After that I have lots of ideas21:24

=== m_conley is now known as m_conley_away
nixterrimusDoes writing a GUI using something other than GTK preclude an app from being included in the Ubuntu Software Center?22:03
stgrabernixterrimus: nope22:13
nixterrimusstgaber, so it looks like there's great ruby support for qt.  I could still use that and be included in the software center?22:13
stgrabernixterrimus: yes, any app that ships with a .desktop file and is in the ubuntu archive will show up in the software center22:14
nixterrimusstgraber: will using a non-gtk toolkit make the app feel weird? Can it feel totally natural to the user?22:15
stgrabernixterrimus: I haven't tried running a QT app on gnome in a while. You'd have to try one to see how it looks/feels.22:17
nixterrimusstgraber: I really appreciate your thoughts- sounds like I have some more research to do22:17
