didrocksgood morning05:06
RAOFHey there didrocks.05:08
didrockshey RAOF, how are you?05:08
RAOFI'm alright.05:08
RAOFIt's a pity the weekends are so short, though :)05:09
=== _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero
didrocksheh, got 3 days for once. Was needed :)05:09
RAOFAwesome!05:10
vishoh no! the French are coming!! ;p05:23
TheMusoMorning didrocks.05:23
didrockshey TheMuso ;)05:23
didrocksvish: heh, be prepared!05:23
pittiGood morning05:48
RAOFGood morning pitti!05:49
pittihey RAOF, how are you?05:49
RAOFI'm ok :).05:50
RAOFHows about you?05:50
didrockshey pitti! had a nice week-end?05:50
pittihey didrocks05:50
pittiwe did, indeed! my niece got married, so we went to Dresden again05:50
didrocksoh, excellent :)05:51
pittihow about you guys?05:51
RAOFCool!  A fun wedding?05:53
pittiit was indeed! they picked nice places for the ceremony (a castle), and the party05:53
didrockswas nice! 3 days week-end was needed. Just the time to relax and do some exercice + enjoying the feist in Lyon (fireworks)05:54
pittihttp://piware.de/fotos/Hochzeit-Henriette-Andre-Juli2011/ :)05:54
pittididrocks: recovered a bit from last week's stress then?05:54
didrockspitti: not really stressful (well a lot of questions/bashing on unity, ok…), but crazy hours, yeah. Totally recovered now!05:55
didrockspitti: ok, so no need for ping you on the apport dpkg issue from Raphael :-)06:03
pittiI did some email catchup on Friday06:03
didrockswe discussed it at RMLL FYI ;)06:03
jbichapitti: did you see my g-p-m merge request?06:10
pittijbicha: yes, thanks for this! just uploaded06:11
pittijbicha: ah, sorry, no; I merged your g-s-d branch06:11
pittiI didn't see a g-p-m MP yet06:11
jbichapitti: https://code.launchpad.net/~jbicha/ubuntu/oneiric/gnome-power-manager/gnome-power-manager-3.1.2/+merge/6816506:12
didrocksok, time to reboot after a week of updates, crossing fingers :)06:13
pittiah, /me uncommits his 13-energy-star.patch patch cleanup then and merges your's06:13
pittididrocks: you missed all the /run fun!06:13
didrockspitti: I followed it by emails, it was enough of "fun" :-)06:14
jbichapitti: oh, good thing I said something06:14
pittijbicha: I'm surprised that g-p-m still has the icon-policy key06:22
pittiI thought that moved into g-s-d now06:22
pittirespectively indicator-power06:22
jbichait probably should be there06:23
pittianyway, looks good, thanks!06:23
jbichaby the way, these override settings don't seem to work for me06:23
jbichanone of them appear to change the defaults or even get applied at all06:25
pittijbicha: in g-s-d you mean?06:25
jbichapitti: I mean not one of the gschema.override's installed here seem to actually do anythinig06:26
jbichapitti: oh, never mind, it's just dconf-editor that's broken06:36
pittioh? it usually seems to work for me, including picking up overrides06:36
didrockswaow, the CD is really oversized. What happened?06:52
didrocksmvo: hey how are you? :)06:54
mvohey didrocks! I'm good, how are you?06:54
didrocksmvo: I'm fine, thanks! I managed to do some good progress on oneconf during my RMLL trip :)06:54
didrocksmvo: not on #oneconf?06:55
pittididrocks: apparently nobody heard my plea for rebuilding ubuntu-meta on Friday, doing now :)06:57
pittididrocks: we added ibus-sunpinyin, but it's too big06:58
pittioriginally I thought that ibus-pinyin was 15 MB (that's what apt-get install does), but due to our clever seeds of preferring the android db, it's only 1.506:58
pittiso rebuilding meta will get it down by some 17 MB06:58
pittithe bad news is that now we once again have no plan how to get rid of the remaining 13 MB06:58
didrockspitti: heh, that's worth an ubuntu-meta rebuild, indeed :)06:59
didrockshum… no more langpack to remove?06:59
pittithe original deal for tbird was to build a Chinese image and dropping ibus-pinyin and chinese langpack06:59
pittiwe can still remove the Chinese langpack then06:59
pittiwhich will give us back 6.5 MB06:59
didrocksbut that will enable to get a chinese image of 703 MB? still06:59
pittiand chrisccoulson said that the recent 3 MB firefox growth should be fixed in the next build07:00
pittiah, need to re-promote ibus-pinyin07:01
RAOFIf cairo drops its egl backend then libegl and friends will drop off the CD, too.07:01
pittioh, will it?07:01
pittiI guess it still causes memory hogs with nvidia?07:02
RAOFYes, yes it does.07:02
RAOFUnless someone does the work to make it dlopen stuff, it's highly likely we'll just disable the backend again.07:02
RAOF(This was Seb's plan)07:02
RAOFThat'd drop a couple of meg.07:03
didrocksglibmm will soon be dropped from compiz and unity, but there is still gparted depending on it, I think07:04
RAOFAnd if we make it dlopen stuff, then we can drop egl from the cd anyway.07:05
* RAOF → shop.07:05
pittididrocks: and gnome-system-monitor?07:07
didrockspitti: oh, even the gnome3 one? I didn't check… ok, no hope on that direction then07:08
pittididrocks: is there a gnome 3 one now?07:08
pittididrocks: a few weeks ago, cjwatson made a first pass at porting to gtkmm3.007:08
pittididrocks: but it would only move from gtkmm 2.4 to 3.0, so no real difference07:08
didrockspitti: not sure, didn't follow that TBH. So you seem more up to date than I there :)07:09
jbichapitti: I was working on packaging a newer gnome-shell but it doesn't have a ~ubuntu-desktop branch07:13
jbichaI guess it's in universe, it that why?07:14
pittimostly, yes07:14
pittijbicha: main reason is that we would like it to stay in sync :)07:15
SweetsharkMorning desktopers!07:15
pittijbicha: seems our only delta is the gir1.2-json-1.0 rename, which hopefully happened in Debian as well?07:15
pittihey Sweetshark, how are you?07:15
jbichapitti: yeah it looks like the only change now is that we have different default favorite-apps07:16
pittijbicha: yes, it did07:16
pittijbicha: i. e. 3.0.2-1ubuntu1 was only a temporary delta, and the first one ever07:16
didrocksgood morning Sweetshark07:17
jbichapitti: are we going to keep the favorite-apps delta though?07:17
pittijbicha: I don't see that delta yet, is it in a merge proposal?07:18
* pitti is looking at apt-get changelog gnome-shell07:18
* pitti checks if the json rename is in svn07:19
pittiit's not, I'll commit it there07:19
jbichapitti: it's 01_favorite_apps.patch and it is part of 3.0.2-1ubuntu107:20
pittijbicha: that's in Debian07:20
pittiit changes mozilla-firefox.desktop to epiphany.desktop07:21
jbichaexcept Debian does it wrong ;-)07:21
jbichathe Ubuntu version has firefox, libreoffice, banshee, & perhaps should have thunderbird07:22
jbichaoh you're right, Ubuntu didn't diverge07:23
jbichabut should we?07:23
* didrocks thinks we shouldn't diverge apart if someone is willing to maintain gnome-shell in ubuntu07:23
pittiif we can change that only if dpkg-vendor --is ubuntu, sure07:24
pitti  * debian/control.in, debian/rules: When building on Ubuntu, add a dependency07:24
pitti    to gnome-icon-theme-full.07:24
pitti^ I did that for our gnome-icon-theme split07:24
jbichaok, is Debian going to have Gnome 3.2 ready for Oneiric's release?07:24
pittijbicha: that's the plan07:24
pittierm, sorry, misread07:24
pittijbicha: no, Debian will stay at 3.0 until 3.2 is released07:25
pittiwe are packaging 3.2 for Ubuntu right now07:25
pittimicahg: committed your gnome-shell json dependency fix to debian svn, thanks07:25
didrockshum, my usb key isn't automounted, dmesg tells me all is fine, should I check udev?07:26
pittididrocks: do you see it in nautilus?07:26
didrocksno, I don't07:27
pittididrocks: in gvfs-mount -li ?07:27
didrockspitti: no, I just have my optical drive listed07:29
pittididrocks: do you see it in udisks --dump?07:31
pittiudisks --enumerate-device-files might be easier to read07:31
didrockspitti: yeah, it's in!07:32
pittiok, so something in gvfs07:33
* didrocks looks at recent uploads07:34
pittididrocks: can you remove it again, start "gvfs-mount -oi", and plug it in?07:34
pittilet's see what happens07:34
didrockssure07:34
didrockspitti: seems that it doesn't notice anything :/07:35
pittididrocks: but you do see it in "udisks --monitor-detail" if you unplug/replug/07:35
pitti?07:35
didrockspitti: yeah, it's listed there07:36
didrocksbut nothing in gvfs-mount -oi meanwhile07:37
Sweetsharkpitti: I got mails about translation template imports for lo-build in natty, did you upload 3.3.3 to natty-proposed while I was ill?07:37
pittiis gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor running?07:37
pittiSweetshark: it got accepted into natty-proposed on Friday, yes07:37
didrockspitti: it even seems to be happily running07:37
pittiSweetshark: feeling better now?07:37
Sweetsharkpitti: yes, Ready to conquer the world!07:37
didrocksshould I kill it and run it by hand?07:38
pittididrocks: could you perhaps attach an strace -fvv to it and do the replug exercise again?07:38
didrockspitti: sure, trying07:38
Sweetsharkpitti: 3.4.1 for oneiric getting its finishing touches (some misbehaving script for creating libebook deps) and I will leave out the mono stuff for the first try.07:40
didrockspitti: sorry, had to do it twice, because gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor needs to be ran in /. Here are the trace with connecting, disconnecting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/646280/07:46
pittiargh, an -s1024 would be helpful there, too, to be able to read the dbus messages07:47
pittibut anyway, looking07:47
didrockscan do :)07:48
pittibah, why does it read /etc/fstab a million times07:48
pittididrocks: but the device is not in there, is it?07:48
didrockspitti: no, it's not listed there, I just checked again07:49
didrockslast time I tried this ubuntu usb stick it worked, I should probably try to swap to another one, just in case…07:50
pittididrocks: you can try udisks --mount /dev/sdb107:50
pittiif that works, the stick is okay07:50
pittididrocks: can you give me the udisks --dump output while it's plugged in?07:51
didrockspitti: indeed, udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 works07:51
didrockspitti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/646284/07:52
pittiuh, that looks screwed up07:53
didrockshum, I can see another usb stick randomely picked07:53
didrockspitti: what seems screwed?07:54
pittilooks like both /dev/sdb and sdb1 claim to be a mountable file system07:54
pitti(iso 9660)07:54
pittibut it should still automount sdb107:54
didrocksoh right, nice07:54
didrockshence the manual mount working07:54
jbichapitti: I've got the Ubuntu favorites patch for Debian, can I email it to you?07:55
pittijbicha: oh, great! sure07:56
pittihah! take that, gsettings-data-convert07:56
pittino more crashing07:56
didrockspitti: probably usb-creator wasn't in a good shape last time I created the key. But anyway, as you told, it should pick one part to mount anyway07:56
didrockspitti: nice \o/07:56
didrockspitti: thanks a bunch for helping debugging and the explanation ;)07:57
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone07:57
didrockshey chrisccoulson!07:57
chrisccoulsonhi didrocks, how are you?07:57
didrockschrisccoulson: I'm fine, thanks, good and long week-end ;) and you?07:58
didrocksI can see a thunderbird with nice notification, thanks! :)07:58
pittihey chrisccoulson07:58
pittididrocks: how big is this thing?07:59
chrisccoulsonyeah, i'm good too thanks. i had a long-ish weekend, and went to stay with some friends.07:59
chrisccoulsonhi pitti, how are you07:59
chrisccoulson?07:59
pittididrocks: perhaps I can replicate it here if you dump the first MB to a file, and I put it on an USB stick of mine with an usb-creator output on it?07:59
pittichrisccoulson: I'm great, thanks!07:59
* Sweetshark dances. 3.4.1 finished (without mono, but still).08:00
didrockspitti: it's an ubuntu iso, nothing more. Can do a dd for the first MB, sure08:00
chrisccoulsonpitti - it seems that the PGO build failure on friday is i386-specific (which is why it worked locally)08:01
chrisccoulsonthat's a bit weird still :/08:01
pittididrocks: right, but with the specialty of the partition table/first blockes being messed up08:01
didrockspitti: dd if=/dev/sdb of=messedupkey count=2048 sounds good to you?08:03
pittichrisccoulson: is that a compiler bug, or does firefox have platform specific code?08:03
pittididrocks: I"m not soure what the default bs is; perhaps try bs=1MB count=1 ?08:03
chrisccoulsonpitti - the code which fails isn't platform specific, so i'm not sure yet08:03
didrocksthat can work too :-)08:04
didrockspitti: here we go: http://people.canonical.com/~didrocks/messedupkey08:05
pittididrocks: cheers; just uploaded gconf for the session start crash, so I can now look into that08:05
didrockspitti: excellent, thanks a lot :)08:06
pittijbicha: ah, I'm not a big fan of ubuntu.series -- it has to be kept up to date08:07
pittiit's not applied in addition to series08:07
pittijbicha: perhaps we can use sed in debian/rules instead of a patch?08:07
jbichapitti: hmm, I think I sorta understand what you're saying but I haven't done anything like that before08:10
pittididrocks: wait, your's actually says iso9660?08:10
jbichaI haven't done ubuntu.series before either but I was able to read the man page for that08:10
pittididrocks: usb-creator creates and writes FAT08:10
pittididrocks: perhaps you tried dd'ing an .iso first to sdb then to sdb1?08:11
pittididrocks: as cjwatson announced recently we should now have hybrid images, so that would actually work08:11
didrockspitti: oh oh… you are probably right, I'm remember doing that some weeks ago08:11
didrocksfor testing it08:11
pittididrocks: does it work?08:11
pittididrocks: just trying to recreate your steps to get an USB stick which is roughly the same08:12
didrockspitti: yeah, it clearly does :)08:12
pittinice08:12
didrockspitti: so blame the user :-) me in that case! anyway, trying to mount the first part in case there are both would still be a great addition :)08:13
pittididrocks: yes, I know08:13
chrisccoulsonhmmm, it's a shame that the 10.04.3 ISO won't have a nice shiny new firefox version on it ;)08:13
pittididrocks: I'm not arguing it's not a bug, just trying to recreate your broken usb stick08:13
didrockspitti: right, you totally right, quite crazy I forgot that, sorry :/08:14
chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, you fixed the gconf crash? i was going to look at that this morning :)08:15
pittichrisccoulson: yes08:15
chrisccoulsonthanks08:15
pittino worries ;)08:15
pittislightly fewer apport spam dialogs at session start08:15
pittithe "system crashes" ones are annoying enough08:16
didrockschrisccoulson: do you have the "Sharing Options" by right click in a nautilus folder?08:20
chrisccoulsondidrocks, no, it doesn't look like it08:20
didrockschrisccoulson: seems I'm not crazy then :)08:21
pittididrocks: ah, no need for your image even -- merely dd'ing the iso on an USB stick reproduces that very bug08:25
seb128hi!08:25
pittibonjour seb128! had a nice long weekend?08:26
didrockspitti: oh nice :)08:26
didrockshey seb128!08:26
seb128pitti, hey, excellent thanks!08:26
seb128hey didrocks, how was your week off?08:26
didrocksseb128: it wasn't a week off ;)08:26
seb128rrrrright ;-)08:26
didrocksbut was nice08:26
didrocksseb128: even some people forced me to fix unity-2d at 02:00 AM :p08:27
seb128next you will tell me GUADEC is an hard work week as well :-p08:27
seb128lol08:27
didrocksdidn't say it's an hard work, but people was disappointed to not see you so close to your home :)08:27
seb128lol, you told them that some people have work to do? ;-)08:29
didrocksseb128: it wasn't a slacking week… but oh well, no time to argue, I have work to follow on08:30
seb128didrocks, right, have a week off I bet you have ;-)08:30
didrocks08:30
seb128ok, I stop trolling you there :p08:30
didrockschrisccoulson: btw, I have now the answer on your thunderbird not getting new emails on some folder before clicking on them: the indicator doesn't show them as well08:31
vuntzseb128: fwiw, I think it's important from a community perspective to have developers going to events like rmll08:34
seb128hey vuntz08:35
seb128vuntz, I'm sure didrocks got you to say that in exchange of something ;-)08:36
seb128vuntz, but right, I don't disagree, it's just that cycles have a limited number of days and hours and it's hard to get work done and to attend all the conferences around as well08:37
vuntzoh, I tried to get him to break some stuff, but that didn't work08:37
seb128vuntz, did you manage to second review the wnck patch? ;-)08:39
vuntzI'm waiting for some angel telling me what's the best way to name the API08:40
desrtseb128: didier told me that he relaxed a lot and did almost no work at rmll08:40
desrtseb128: i wouldn't have high expectations of what he accomplished while there08:40
didrocksdesrt: :-)08:40
seb128desrt, right, next he's going to tell people that GUADEC is a lot of work, I tell you ;-)08:41
desrtGUADEC is a lot of work08:41
desrt...for ones liver08:41
didrocksseb128: did I tell that? but ok, meeting the openshot core dev, building the community, taking the time to explain why unity and having people changing their opinion is not that important…08:42
seb128didrocks, let's stop that, I was mostly playing a bit with you, no worry ;-)08:43
seb128hug!08:43
seb128pitti, oh, you fixed that gconf segfault, great08:44
seb128didrocks, oh, happy piloting btw ;-)08:46
didrocksseb128: I piloted the week before RMLL to swap with last Friday08:46
didrocksbut thanks for the reminder nevertheless08:46
seb128oh ok, I'm catching up on calendar and stuff since I was off friday08:46
pittiseb128: yay less apport spam ;)08:47
seb128nice, the new gwibber landed, I can clean some extra gtk2 gconf lines08:48
seb128but robert_ancell still didn't fix lightdm :-(08:48
seb128hum, I wonder if he noticed it was broken, I will drop him an email08:48
RAOFWhat's broken about lightdm?08:50
* RAOF is pretty sure he's got the latest packages, and everything *seems* to be working when he booted today…08:50
seb128the example greeter (which is default) segfault on protected userdirectories08:51
seb128it seems to not like not being able to read the .dmrc08:51
RAOFAh.  And neither of those statements apply to my system, which would be why I haven't noticed :)08:51
pittiI use ecryptfs for my home, but the unity greeter08:51
chrisccoulsondidrocks, oh, interesting. thanks08:52
seb128the unity greeter doesn't have the issue08:52
seb128hey chrisccoulson, how are you?08:52
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, good thanks. how are you?08:52
seb128I'm fine thanks08:52
seb128ideally we will get the unity greeter mir-reviewed and promoted soon but still would be nice to fix the default greeter08:53
seb128pitti, btw did you see my py3cairo preinst comment before the w.e?09:00
seb128well middle of previous week rather, before my w.e09:00
pittiseb128: I did09:00
pittiseb128: I reuploaded to NEW with the preinst removed09:00
seb128ok, will re-review it09:00
pittimerci09:01
seb128it seems fine out of that bit09:01
seb128de rien ;-)09:01
pittiseb128: I also sent it to the Debian pycairo maintainers, but haven't heard back from them yet09:01
seb128yeah, he's usually not very active or responsive09:01
pittiseb128: but I found a way to build python3-gobject without it, so I could do this large change in Debian09:01
pittiand we can enable the py3cairo bits once py3cairo lands in debian09:01
chrisccoulsondidrocks, do you use a local filter in thunderbird to move your mail between folders btw, or do you do filtering elsewhere?09:05
didrockschrisccoulson: filtering is done server side, nothing local09:06
chrisccoulsondidrocks, aha09:06
chrisccoulsoni guess that might be why09:06
chrisccoulsoni think thunderbird checks those folders lazily09:06
didrocksoh…09:06
chrisccoulsoni'm not 100% sure on that though09:06
didrockssome seems to be refresh quite frequently, but it's a huge blocker though :/09:07
chrisccoulsondidrocks, perhaps try right-clicking on the folder and selecting "When getting new messages for this account, always check this folder" (not sure what that translates to in french though)09:08
chrisccoulson(in the folder properties)09:08
chrisccoulsondidrocks, i don't see the issue because i do my filtering locally09:08
didrockschrisccoulson: trying and will tell you09:08
chrisccoulsonthanks09:08
didrocksyw :)09:10
rodrigo_hi09:12
seb128hey rodrigo_09:15
didrocksmorning rodrigo_09:17
pittihey rodrigo_, how are you09:17
rodrigo_hi seb128, pitti, didrocks, how are you?09:18
didrocksrodrigo_: I'm fine, thanks, and you?09:18
pittirodrigo_: quite fine, thanks!09:18
pittihow about yourself?09:18
rodrigo_I'm a bit tired since I went to sleep quite late last night, but fine otherwise :)09:18
rodrigo_didrocks, seb128: enjoyed your 14th july? :)09:19
seb128yes, very much!09:19
seb128nice slacking w.e ;-)09:20
rodrigo_:)09:20
didrocksnice fireworks in Lyon in the evening, I worked in the train and catchup on emails once back but trade with the 15th09:20
rodrigo_but no head cutting in the celebrations, right? :)09:25
seb128no ;-)09:28
seb128pitti, did you just restart the retracers today?09:29
pittiseb128: yes, fixed up the broken amd64 chroot09:29
pittiseb128: well, "just" - that was maybe 1.5 hours ago09:29
seb128ok, good, I was wondering if they were catching up on backlog or if we get a stream of new bugs ;-)09:30
seb128reading through my bug email box it's retracer spammed09:30
seb128but if that's backlog catching up that's ok09:30
seb128pitti, thanks ;-)09:30
pittidoes the new me-menu work for anyone?09:36
jibelit doesn't for me, and it breaks stacking of other menus09:40
pittisame here09:41
pittiand it pointlessly shows my name09:41
jibel+1 and my name is fairly long. it uses 15% of panel width :/09:42
pittiit should probably show your status ("Away") instead, which would make more sense09:42
pittior at least the user name, not the real name09:42
seb128didrocks, does the skip bar flag you want to use in nautilus means also it will not be in the alt-tab list?09:42
didrocksseb128: right, for John, it's acceptable09:43
seb128didrocks, what about non unity sessions?09:43
didrocksseb128: don't know, I think we don't have a nice story there09:44
seb128hum09:44
didrocksI raised it during the discussion for what it worth09:44
seb128didrocks, can we have those discussions in public or better on the bug next time?09:44
didrocksseb128: sure09:44
seb128I'm not sure I agree with that change, having dialogs not in alt-tab really sucks09:44
seb128especially when you are not under unity and you don't have a launcher09:45
seb128didrocks, thanks09:45
didrocksnot being able to open nautilus during a copy isn't nice as well09:45
seb128well you can middle click the icon ;-)09:47
didrocksnot really well advertized :-) but the real solution as told, will be to do some heavy tab-related work in bamf09:47
seb128right, let's see, I guess they are not going to do that refactoring during the lts cycle either09:48
seb128so let's see how it goes in practice09:48
seb128we should make the copy dialog a standalone process so it has its own icon :p09:48
didrocksintegrated into compiz? :-)09:49
seb128why not ;-)09:51
mvowhat is the current convention for dbus services "CamelCaseFunctions" or "pep8_style_lowercase" ? or something else?09:57

seb128mvo, will you get ride of gksudo there?09:59
seb128dunno about if there is a naming convention, will let pitti or others reply ;-)09:59

pittididrocks: hm, unity-support-test says "no" in a guest session for me, in particilar "not software rendered: no"10:24
didrockspitti: whereas it says "yes" in the main session?10:25
pittiright10:25
* pitti tries another user account10:25
didrockscan be a Xauth capability with apparmor if it's only the guest session10:25
didrockssome similar issues happened twice in the natty cycle10:25
pittiwhoops, I get the example-greeter crash10:26
pitti(even though I run unity-greeter by default)10:26
seb128pitti, see ;-)10:27
seb128pitti, is that specific to guest session or do you get it with a test user?10:28
pittiseb128: guest session works10:28
pittifreshly created test user crashes10:28
seb128weird10:28
didrockspitti: you can try glxinfo | grep rendering btw, should give the same result (same X call) than the support test10:28
pittiand unity-2d doesn't respect my /usr/share/gconf/ubuntu-2d/default/zz_ubuntu-defaults-test overrides any more10:28
pittididrocks: already tried that; it does say "direct rendering: Yes" in guest session10:29
didrockshum, weird, we use the same flag, let me check10:29
didrockspitti: right, the overrides are fix is "fix committed"10:29
pittididrocks: you mean it doesn't read gconf any more right now?10:30
pittiso guest doesn't work with 3d; switching to test user is broken; unity-2d doesn't read gconf settings10:30
didrockspitti: well, depends, if it fallbacks, it won't until we set the detection in lightdm itself. If you choose the session, the trigger wasn't… triggered10:30
pittihow am I supposed to test ubuntu-defaults-builder now? :-)10:31
seb128pitti, kvm for the win? ;-)10:31
pittididrocks: oh, you mean I could explicitly set the default session to unity-2d?10:31
didrockspitti: right, the other has never worked for default settings10:31
didrocks(fallbacking)10:32
pittididrocks: hm, as it happened /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop already pointed to ubuntu-2d.desktop10:32
* pitti pokes this harder10:32
didrockswhat is /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop ?10:32
didrocksI should miss some updates, I don't have it there10:32
pittiI don't know where it's coming from10:33
* pitti tries with lightdm.conf10:33
pittioh! lightdm doesn't tear down the guest account10:34
pittididrocks: so you were saying if unity-2d is selected explicitly, the Xsession.d script should add some $XDG_something to make it pick up the gconf defaults?10:35
seb128didrocks, it's not a distro package, it's probably an hacking leftover for default session in gdm or something10:35
seb128didrocks, I've no such file installed either10:35
didrockspitti: right10:35
pittididrocks: now, doesn't seem to work :(10:35
didrockspitti: so env | grep GDMSESSION is showing unity-2d right?10:36
pittididrocks: which script is that? 70gconfd_path-on-session?10:36
didrockspitti: indeed10:36
didrocksenv | grep MANDATORY should add the new mandatory path10:36
didrocksshow*10:36
pittihm, now guest is broken, too10:37
pittidear lightdm, you are nasty today10:37
pittiok, giving up; logging out of my own session and trying ther, bbl10:38
didrocks/usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu-2d.desktop should enable adding /usr/share/gconf/ubuntu-2d.default.path10:38

ubot2Launchpad bug 723861 in ayatana-design "Right clicking on the desktop still displays the “Create Launcher...” option." [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72386113:01
seb128didrocks, it calls a gnome-panel binary so it's broken in oneiric13:02
seb128didrocks, ideally we would check for the binary to enable the menu entry13:02
seb128which would fix the default install case and make GNOME users still happy13:03
didrocksseb128: ideally, we would check for the binary and if unity is running13:03
seb128right13:03
didrocksseb128: should I take time for this non default case?13:03
seb128well I would not bother and just drop it adding a comment that it depends on a gnome-panel binary13:04
didrocksok, dropping13:04
seb128users can as well install a "create a launcher" small program and run it13:04
seb128or use nautilus-script13:04
didrocksanyway, even showing the desktop isn't the case in fallback mode for upstream13:05
seb128right, it's really a corner case use13:05
seb128it doesn't really justify a context menu entry13:05
lamalexSarvatt: i think im having that lightdm issue. any known fix? when i log in, it just hangs indefinitely13:06
seb128didrocks, you might want to open a bug upstream suggesting them to drop it ;-)13:06

mvoif someone is keen to play (and fix ;) with the dbus-ified software-properties, its at lp:~mvo/software-properties/updates-redesign16:08
seb128mvo, mterry: update-notifier notifies me about updates, reboot required, apport issues, etc since I update, is that normal behaviour or a bug in the gsettings update?16:08
seb128it's confusing because the notification say to click on the notification icon but we have none16:09
seb128 16:09
seb128bah, evolution still fails to display the debian-devel-changes emails16:09
seb128but at least it sends non empty emails now ;-)16:09
mterryseb128, hrm, I haven't seen that myself.  Could be a bug in gsettings...  What does your dconf-editor show in com.canonical.update-notifier?16:17
seb128mterry, com.ubuntu you mean I guess?16:18
mterryseb128, nope, canonical16:18
seb128com.ubuntu.update-notifier false16:18
seb128mterry, there is no canonical16:18
mterryhmm....16:18
mterrymaybe mvo changed my merge16:19
seb128mterry, I think mvo changed the namespace when he merged it16:19
* mterry thinks we need a clear policy on such things16:19
mterryIt's a Canonical CA project...16:19
seb128yeah, same here16:19
seb128dunno why he changed it16:19
didrockscyphermox: there are some direct call for vpnc to system($Var_from_config_file), I don't really like that, I asked the security team to do a review16:20
seb128    <key name="no-show-notifications" type="b">16:20
seb128      <default>false</default>16:20
seb128      <summary>Stop showing update notifications</summary>16:20
seb128mterry, mvo: so yeah, default is to display notifications it seems16:20
mterryseb128, I have that as false too, but I haven't seen notifications16:20
mterryseb128, I don't believe that was changed16:20
* mterry looks at merge again16:21
cyphermoxdidrocks: ok, thanks16:21
seb128mterry, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-notifier/ubuntu/revision/632 btw16:21
didrockscyphermox: network-manager-vpnc seems ok, but waiting on the other one :)16:22
cyphermoxsure, that's fine16:24
seb128mterry, seems like no_show_notifications was not in the schemas before?16:24
mterryseb128, true, it was a secret pref.  but undeclared bool prefs in gconf default to false16:27
mterryIt does seem like the culprit though...16:28
seb128maybe I had tweaked values for those16:29
seb128but I'm pretty sure we didn't display notifications by default since we autospawn update-manager16:29
seb128same for the reboot, we change the indicator to indicate a restart is required16:30
didrockschrisccoulson: seems I don't get again the "no notification until clicking on folder" after checking on each folder the box you pointed me at. That's weird it wasn't the case everywhere though16:32
mterryseb128, does dconf-editor show that you have auto-launch enabled?16:33
mterryseb128, the code skips the reboot notification if so16:33
seb128it's enabled yes and that seems the default16:34
seb128mterry, don't bother about it, thanks for looking at it16:34
seb128I wonder if that was an upgrade thing16:34
seb128like update-notifier on gconf still running16:34
seb128but the gconf database went away under its feet16:34
mterryseb128, as long as no one else sees it, I guess we're fine16:34
seb128I've restarted my session and it seems to work fine now16:35
seb128so maybe it was the gconf instance still running with the gsettings one installed16:35
seb128we should perhaps restart it in the postinst or something16:35
seb128I will check with mvo16:35
seb128bah, dconf is a mess16:36
seb128the namespace use rather16:37
seb128the desktop.unity stuff should probably be moved16:37
seb128it's confusing to have apps. desktop. and then com. and org16:38

mterrytedg, heyo, want to have a chat about ubuntu-local?20:42
mterryThe menubar property, that is20:42
tedgmterry, Sure20:44
mterrytedg, so, the intention is that it's an opt-out for 3rd parties of appmenu-gtk in case they have a non-main menubar hanging around, right?20:45
mterrytedg, or is it an internal implementation detail?20:46
tedgmterry, Or if they don't want their menu bar shown.20:46
tedgmterry, More a universal opt-out20:46
mterrytedg, well, it's more targeted than 'universal'.  I'm talking about the per-menubar property 'ubuntu-local'20:46
tedgmterry, Yes, I realize.  But the idea was that app developers could put that on all their menu bars if they wanted.20:47
mterrytedg, I see20:47
mterrytedg, well, freeciv hit a bug where non-main menubars weren't showing up.  One solution would have been to set ubuntu-local.  But that didn't work, because if they opened a submenu on it, the menubar disappeared again20:48
mterrytedg, I've tracked that down as an overzealous mirroring of the 'show-local' proxy property into menubars' 'ubuntu-local' properties by appmenu-gtk20:48
mterryOr rather, overzealous setting of 'show-local' by appmenu-gtk.  GTK+ itself does the mirroring20:49
tedgAh, hmm.  Interesting.20:49
tedgmterry, Uhg, sorry if missed something.  Focus issues and using Ctrl+W20:52
mterrytedg, you may have missed "Or rather, overzealous setting of 'show-local' by appmenu-gtk.  GTK+ itself does the mirroring".  So the quick fix is to not set show-local to the same value it already holds (which prevents constant setting of show-local and thus constant mirroring to ubuntu-local).  But I feel like there are still legitimate times when show-local will be set and the user-provided value in ubuntu-local will be overwritten.  Is there20:52
mterrya good way to help this situation?20:52
mterryWe could introduce a third variable, 'ubuntu-local-internal' which considers the value of show-local and ubuntu-local....20:53
tedgmterry, Is there a reason to cache it?  I mean, just have a macro to pull the two together?20:54
mterrytedg, sure, that's true.  We could stop mirroring in GTK+ and just have the menubar look at both20:56
tedgmterry, Seems simpler to me.  what do you think?20:56
mterrytedg, sure, I'll work on a patch tomorrow20:56
tedgGreat, thanks mterry!20:57
