RAOFsmspillaz: Around?  Do you take compiz merge requests from launchpad?06:03
smspillazRAOF: yes06:04
RAOFsmspillaz: Anything I need to do other than have you set as a reviewer?  (I'm patch-piloting https://code.launchpad.net/~hypodermia/ubuntu/oneiric/compiz/fix-for-bug-301174/+merge/64632 )06:04
ubot5Ubuntu bug 64632 in mga-vid (Ubuntu) "mga-vid-source fails to compile" [Undecided,Fix released]06:04
RAOFHeh.  Poor, confused ubot5 :)06:04
smspillazRAOF: ah that one06:06
smspillazRAOF: yeah, I'll ACK it06:06
smspillaz(I approved this long ago but never got around to merging it)06:06
RAOFI've got something I'd like fixed in it ;)06:06
smspillazoh ok06:06
smspillazhit me06:06
RAOFIt should use an event sound from http://0pointer.de/public/sound-naming-spec.html rather than manually specifying a filename.  That way, sound themes will actually work.06:07
RAOFAlso, it becomes simpler.  Bonus!06:07
RAOF(I'd suggest bell-window-system)06:07
RAOFAh.  Alternatively, that spec could be a pack of lies, and there not actually _be_ a bell-window-system.  Superlative.  There is, however, a bell.  So the not-manually-specifying-a-filename thing stands.06:10
RAOFAh, again no.  bell-window-system should alledgedly fall back to just “bell”06:17
RAOFsmspillaz: Anyway, the summary is: don't specify a filename, so that it respects the system sound theme :)06:18
smspillazRAOF: ah, ok06:19
RAOFNote: this advice may need actual, you know, _testing_06:19
smspillazthat doesn't exist in compizland06:19
RAOFBut if everything works as advertised, that's what should happen!06:19
smspillazRAOF: so we need to specify bell-window-system06:21
smspillazand instead of CA_PROP_MEDIA_FILENAME ...06:21
RAOFRight.06:21
RAOFAnd instead of CA_PROP_MEDIA_FILENAME, you *don't* specify CA_PROP_MEDIA_FILENAME, and libcanberra looks it up in the sound theme.06:22
smspillazI hope canberra uses gtkdoc ...06:22
RAOFWhy, yes it does.06:22
RAOFhttp://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/gtkdoc/libcanberra-canberra.html#CA-PROP-EVENT-ID:CAPS06:22
smspillazoh I see06:23
smspillazI think that the filename is actually inteded to be an override06:23
smspillazso I might just check for filename size06:23
RAOFIs there a desperate need for compiz's sounds to be configured differently to the sound theme?06:24
RAOFHm.  Actually, the gtkdoc doesn't make it clear whether or CA_PROP_EVENT_ID *overrides* CA_PROP_MEDIA_FILENAME…06:25
RAOFI guess empirical testing may be in order.  Worse than a superfluous configuration option is a superfluous configuration option that *doesn't even work* :)06:26
RAOFsmspillaz: So, it's possible my concern is actually ‘the option to set the bell sound filename doesn't work’ :)06:28
RAOFEither it works, and compiz won't follow the sound theme, or it doesn't, and compiz gains a non-functional option.  Score!06:30
smspillazRAOF: we just don't se CA_PROP_MEDIA_FILENAME if mFilename is empty06:32
RAOFsmspillaz: And you may need to *not* set CA_PROP_EVENT_ID if mFilename is not empty.  http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/gtkdoc/libcanberra-canberra.html#ca-context-play suggests that it'll override MEDIA_FILENAME.06:33
RAOFBut relying on this crazy documentation thing is probably a bit ambitious.  There should be actual testing to confirm that libcanberra works that way.06:34
RAOFAnd I suspect that this testing could be asked of our intrepid branch submitterc.06:35
RAOFShall I paste this IRC snippet in as a review comment?06:36
smspillazsure06:37
smspillazI'll probably just fix it myself though06:37
RAOFOk.  I'll add that :)06:41

Amaranthgdk-pixbuf is trying to load the tgas with its ico loader09:28
Amaranthdidrocks: Do you know why some of the tga files have RLE and some don't?09:31
AmaranthThe ones with RLE load fine, the ones without go through gdk-pixbuf's ico loader for some reason09:31

ephanWhy are people using systray for the notification applet? It's not like the process is called systray.exe11:23
njpatelephan, some people are just used to that (i.e. me)11:29
njpatelalso, it's much shorter than "notification area"11:30
ephannotification applet, that's not the correct way either, it's indicator applet. either way, it's sad people are using the Windows name in my opinion, but what can be done XD11:30
njpatelephan, oh, they are using it for the indicators?!11:31
njpatelthat's Not Cool. :)11:32
ephanyeah i've seen systray being used for the Indicator Applet of Ubuntu a few times in Launchpad11:32
njpatelurgh11:32
ephanWell, IIRC Microsoft invented the Notificion Area some years ago, but the process was called "systray.exe". So people started using "system tray" for it.    Now ubuntu implemented this and people call it systray, Not Cool11:33

om26erephan, no .crash file is created11:58
ephanThat doesn't mean the bug can't be reported11:58
om26erephan, saying "unity does not start" in a bug report is quite useless I believe11:59
ephanThere's a lot of information you can give besides the .crash fiel11:59
ephanAnd just as useless it may be to make a bug saying "unity does not start", it's even more useless to join the channel to say that12:00
om26erephan, no its not useless to say it here, atleast I don't think so.12:01
ephanI didn't say it was useless.12:01
ephanHowever, there are more changes the bug will be fixed if you report it12:01
ephanthe right way.12:02
andyrockephan, om26er is one of the most important unity contributors regarding unity bug :)12:02

ephanom26er, sorry if my response was inadequate. I pictured you as yet another regular ubuntu user who had a bug. I thought this because you didn't mention your Ubuntu version, I thought it was "latest update of 11.04 broke my system".

jibelHey jaytaoko12:39
jaytaokojibel: I have enable all system that supports it to use the GLSL shader code path, but there could be some special cases to handle12:40
jaytaokojibel: can you paste the glxinfo and lspci of your system that fails?12:40
jibeljaytaoko, http://paste.ubuntu.com/657156/12:44
jaytaokojibel: thanks12:44
didrocksnjpatel: jaytaoko: can rev 402 be the cause?12:50
didrocksthere are some shader's "mem leak fixes"12:50
didrocksdidn't see any other shader's code changes12:50
jaytaokojibel: I see that your system supports opengl 1.4, it also reports that it supports GLSL shaders (GL_ARB_vertex_shader and GL_ARB_fragment_shader). But it does not report that it supports a shader language version. No string with "OpenGL shading language version string". So something is off with the driver report I believe...12:51
jaytaokodidrocks: it is rev 401.12:53
jaytaokodidrocks: the code is ok, but it looks that some systems incorrectly reports supports for GLSL shaders... Or maybe it is because the driver are still being worked out...12:55
didrocksjaytaoko: one of the issue is that this intel card is the most popular netbook one12:55
jaytaokodidrocks: but its report of opengl capability seems off...12:56
didrocksjaytaoko: time for a workaround then?12:57

Amaranththat may have been only unity, bit fuzzy on that22:11
jaytaokoAmaranth: whitespace to what?22:11
jaytaokoAmaranth: we are using white space instead of tab if that is what you mean...22:12
AmaranthI mean unity had one whitespace style and then suddenly had another one22:12
Amaranthso I had to basically manually rebase my changes on top of the new version22:13
Amaranthcan't remember if nux had the same problem or not, don't think so22:13
jaytaokoAmaranth: Nux use to be 4 whiye space but we are switching it to 2 spaces for tabs22:13
jaytaokoAmaranth: what if your Nux version was merged with ours, would that make it easier?22:14
Amaranthjaytaoko: If it was merged with yours I'd be done :P22:14
Amaranthafaik it's done, I've just been forward porting it as I chase down a weird blending issue with unity22:14
Amaranthwhich I'm about to give up on and see if you guys can figure out anyway :)22:15
jaytaokoAmaranth: yes, I would like to help you with that after we make the feature freeze...22:15
Amaranthyeah, my problem is I need to get all of this in for feature freeze or get an exception :)22:16
jaytaokoAmaranth: I have pushed the converted tga files. give it a try please22:56
