htorquegood morning, everyone! I'm getting this when building unity - should i be worried? http://paste.ubuntu.com/673572/06:14
htorqueDBO: hi, are the switcher pips supposed to show "behind" the tile and get blurred? → http://img.xrmb2.net/images/820785.png06:21
DBOthose aren't behind the tile06:21
htorquealso, that black borders around the pips don't look like intended. that's with latest nux + libunity(-misc) + unity.06:21
DBOthey are just "soft"06:21
DBOalso06:21
DBOwhats with the black border?06:22
DBOwhat video hardware are you on?06:22
htorqueintel hd 300006:22
htorquewill test on a second machine06:22
htorqueso the softness is intended?06:22
DBOyes06:23
DBOthe blurriness is due to the texture being doubled in size for now06:24
DBOthe boxes however are a rendering artifact, probably from the linear filtering06:24
htorquealright then, thanks! another question: should there really be a transparent gap between the switcher pane and its border?06:25
DBOthe design says yes06:26
htorquei disagree with the design, but thanks for confirming :-)06:26
DBOI stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb06:27
DBOhtorque, you build front trunk I presume06:40
htorqueDBO:  yes06:43
DBOhtorque, IconRenderer.cpp06:43
DBOtexxform.SetFilter(nux::TEXFILTER_LINEAR, nux::TEXFILTER_LINEAR);06:43
DBOthere is a line like that06:43
DBOaround line 75306:43
DBOcomment it out06:43
DBOsee if it fixes your black borders issue06:43
DBOI'll quirk it out for intel cards if it does06:44
htorqueDBO: yes, black borders are gone. will also test it on a hybrid gpu system.06:51
DBOhtorque, do the pips look blockier?06:52
htorque(hybrid as in nouveau/i915)06:52
htorqueyes06:52
DBOyeah I thought so...06:52
DBOokay06:52
DBOI guess I'll have to get proper resources06:52
mardyKaleo: 'morning! I updated the RTL branch, now it should merge without conflicts.06:52
DBOrather than just stretching06:52
mardyKaleo: also I re-tested it, and it still seems OK :-)06:52
mardyKaleo: I'm actually out of tasks now, so unless you have something specific, I'll look at the bug list and pick something from there06:53
htorqueDBO: rats, those black borders don't show on my laptop (intel hd 2000, pc has intel hd 3000)07:05
DBOhtorque, sexy07:06
DBOits hardware dependent07:06
DBOI dont know what to say07:06
DBOsome hardware sucks07:06
oSoMoNgood morning07:06
htorqueDBO: this cannot be caused by something else, can it? my system is free of PPAs, but i build nux/unity from trunk all the time...07:07
DBOhtorque, no this is really just your hardware doing linear interp differently07:10
DBOits down to the shader being dumb07:10
htorquelike "let's report this upstream and make the world a better place"-dumb? :-)07:11
htorquewill switch disks to be completely sure, brb07:13
htorqueDBO: like you said - same disk, intel hd 2000 yay, intel hd 3000 nay.07:20
DBOyeah07:20
DBOits upstream report kind of dumb07:21
DBObut this could easily be an issue in teh hardware07:21
DBOit looks to me like a rounding issue07:21
htorquemy shiney new cpu? oh noes! :P07:21

andyrockJohnLea, about hover timeout in dnd09:11
JohnLeaandyrock; hyia09:11
andyrockwell i'm not sure which is the wanted behavior09:11
andyrocki mean...09:12
andyrockthe timer should be reset every time a new spread window is hovered?09:12
andyrocknow it is reset every single pixel motion09:13
andyrockJohnLea, ^^^09:14
JohnLeaandyrock; yes, basically a little less sensitive to pixel motion.  A second improvement would be to center the selected window under the cursor09:15
JohnLeaandyrock; e.g. at the moment when you leave the spread, the window you have selected can be in a different part of the screen09:16
andyrockJohnLea, i know :)09:16
JohnLeadropping on windows while is spread is the more important issue of course, but also the harder issue to fix ;-)09:17
andyrockJohnLea, i've worked on it yesterday09:17
andyrockbut it's really really hard to fix without input redirection09:18
andyrockwe can create a kind of dnd proxy09:18
JohnLeaandyrock; re. the timer, it really is a matter of feel.  Making it less sensitive to minor pixel motion might be a good enough improvement by itself, if we make it too easy to exit the spread that will also be annoying09:18
andyrockbut sam doesn't like it09:18
andyrockJohnLea, about the timer i will do some test and i will try to find the "perfect" timeout and the perfect minor pixel motion ;)09:19
Kaleojibel: oki doki; note that my virtualbox allows Unity to run09:20
JohnLeaandyrock; I saw Sam's comment, so I suppose it has to be fixed the harder way09:20
JohnLeaandyrock; great, thx09:20
JohnLeaandyrock; timings like this are a matter of feel, and can only really be done by experimentation09:21
andyrockJohnLea, there is an option in ccsm to change it09:21
andyrockso this should not be a problem ;)09:22
JohnLeaandyrock; hyia, has your fix to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/727901 landed in the latest release of Oneiric?10:47
ubot5Ubuntu bug 727901 in unity "When dragging and dropping a file on to the Launcher, the Launcher icons that are valid drop receptacles don't highlight until the cursor is over the launcher." [Medium,Fix committed]10:47
andyrockyeah10:47
andyrockJohnLea, ^^^10:48
andyrockJohnLea, i'm not sure it is a fix released10:48
JohnLeaandyrock; it looks like it has landed, but not being fix released I am not sure10:48
JohnLeaandyrock; if it has landed I am doing some testing and there is some minor tweeking needed10:48
JohnLeaandyrock; shall I add my feedback to the bug and ping you, and you can test on your computer?10:49
andyrockJohnLea, of course ;)10:49
JohnLeaandyrock; thx!10:49
andyrockbtw i think that it should be fix commited in unity and fix released in unity10:49
andyrockwhen njpatel release another unity version it should be fix release also in unity10:50

ubot5Ubuntu bug 727901 in unity "When dragging and dropping a file on to the Launcher, the Launcher icons that are valid drop receptacles don't highlight until the cursor is over the launcher." [Medium,Fix committed]10:57
JohnLeaandyrock; thoughts?10:57
andyrockJohnLea, well there is a timeout of 200ms10:58
JohnLeaandyrock; hummm, I seem to repeatedly get this issue when dragging and dropping using the touchpad on my Dell XT2 testing computer10:59
andyrockJohnLea, yeah this issue is visible only using a touchpad11:00
andyrockthe problem is just one11:00
andyrockwe can use a small timout11:00
JohnLeaandyrock; yup, there is more movement in a mouse11:00
andyrock*timeout, 50 ms11:00
JohnLeaandyrock; that would be worth a try?11:01
andyrockbut using a small timeout you there will be another issued11:01
andyrockin other words when you start dragging11:02
JohnLeaandyrock; btw, really excited about this feature landing ;-)  one of the really cool issues with the Launcher is using it to switch data between applications, but without this feature it is not obvious that you can do it11:02
andyrockwhen you start dragging you will see a impulse11:02
andyrocki don't know if impluse is the right English word11:03
JohnLeaimpulse?  do you mean there will be a slight stutter in the drag movement?11:03
JohnLeaor do you mean a visual glitch?11:04
andyrockslight slutter11:04
andyrockit is present also now but is not so visible11:04
andyrockthe really problem is that opening (to read its type) a file make too time11:05
andyrocki need to talk with DBO about the timeout and find a solution to make it as short as possible :)11:05
JohnLeaandyrock; will need to test to see how bad it is, but I think it could be worth the cost.  When dragging with a touchpad it effect is only occasionally triggered and that feels buggy and is inconsistent11:06
JohnLeaandyrock; that would be really cool ;-)11:06
JohnLeaandyrock; I'll update the bug again ;-)11:06
andyrockJohnLea, i will test it... btw with the touchpad we need an extra movment11:07
andyrockmaybe it would be great if we could read the drag data in nux in processdndenter11:07
andyrockand not processdndmove11:07
andyrockit will be remove the problem11:08
andyrockand i need to talk with DBO about this11:08
andyrockmaybe njpatel know why we can read drag data in processdndmove11:08
andyrockand not in processdndenter11:09
JohnLeaandyrock; thanks for looking in to this11:09
njpatelandyrock, actually, no, either DBO or gord would know11:09

cdbswe might well need a UIFe then11:56
cdbsI'll handle it all11:56
cdbsBlame Canada11:56
njpatelcdbs, what was left from your branch?11:56
cdbsrather blame me for moving to Canada :)11:56
cdbsnjpatel: Uhm, your review11:56
njpatelno, apart from that11:56
cdbsnjpatel: I never got time to fix the branch11:56
cdbsnjpatel: apart from that, there's the smooth sc-to-launcher animation11:57
njpatelokay11:57
cdbswhich can be done outside UI freeze11:57
njpatelcdbs, did the apt-daemon side of it land into O?11:57
cdbsnjpatel: The branch in its current state, if it were fixed of your points, can enter before UI freeze and the remaining changes can land later as well11:57
cdbsnjpatel: s/aptdaemon/software-center/11:57
cdbsnjpatel: It will land the moment my branch lands in Unity11:58
njpatelit can't land sooner? it's not depending on unity right11:58
cdbsits done11:59
cdbsalready11:59
cdbsback11:59
njpatelis it in O? i.e. testable?11:59
cdbsnjpatel: What did you say since "did the aptdaemon..." ?12:00
cdbshad lost connectiong12:00
cdbs*connection12:00
njpatelcdbs, just asking whether that dbus side of it (aptdaemon/ssc) has landed in Oneiric, i.e. it's testable with your branch12:00
njpatelif I have time, I can update your branch to land it12:00
cdbsnjpatel: The SC side is complete, its just put on hold and not merged with sc master, but will be merged and uploaded the moment my branch gets in Unity12:01
andyrockJohnLea, good news :)12:03
andyrocki've changed my patch (just a little)12:03
andyrocki used a timeout of 20ms12:03
andyrockand everything works well12:03
andyrocki've moved my touchpad as fast as i can12:04
andyrockand launcher slide out12:04
andyrockwithout any problem ;)12:04
andyrockJohnLea, maybe if i put it on LP you can build it and check yourself12:07
andyrockbut if it works well on my test computer (that is not so good :) ) thant it should work everywhere :)12:08
cdbsnjpatel: Thanks, I'm leaving now12:09
cdbsgotta go12:09
njpatelcdbs, one sec12:09
mptHi cdbs, anything I can do to help?12:09
njpatelcdbs, what I'm saying is that, even if we miss UIF from unity, if that branch lands it's one less thing to put in the UIFe12:09
njpatelcdbs, though I will try and fix up your branch and land it, this would make things easier if I can't (i hope that makes sense)12:09

andyrocknjpatel, any plans to restore the fullscreen dash in unity?14:04
njpatelandyrock, yeah, today :)14:05
andyrocknjpatel, cool.... what about adding a ccsm option to use as a background just a blurred wallpaper, without any windows?14:06
njpatelandyrock, that would be interesting14:07
andyrockof course only for fullscreen dash...14:07
coz_I believe smspillaz  already created a plugin name  overlay image14:07
coz_although that plugin comes with an image showing Unity keybindings,, any image can be set for it14:09
andyrockcoz_, any link?14:12
coz_andyrock,  looking for it now,, let me ask sam,, I installed a while back  , hold on14:12
andyrockcoz_, thx14:13
coz_darn he is not online,, let me check my bookmarks14:13
coz_andyrock,  I asked him to make this because a fewllow had created the image for keybindings  and I thought it would be great for Unity beginners  as well as a good plugin to start learning how to create a plugin for compiz so hold I know I have it somewhere14:14
andyrockwell but what i want is just a dash without any window behind14:15
andyrockif i'm not wrong gnome shell does the same14:15
andyrockusing a fullscreen dash which sense make having the blurred window behind the dash?14:16
coz_andyrock,  then I dont think this plugin is what you want,, it could probably be changed to do that but not sure14:16

tedgapinheiro, I didn't write the service though.18:59

apinheirothe local one I mean19:00
tedgapinheiro, If you edit /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.canonical.Unity.Panel.Service.service you can change the path of which one gets activated by default.19:01
apinheirotedg, ok I will try that19:01
apinheirothanks19:01
tedgnp19:01
apinheirotedg, and there is any kind of avoid that activation? because in order to debug it, I would like to just run it using gdb19:07
apinheirobut if I execute that manually19:07
apinheiroit fails because there is one already running19:07
tedgapinheiro, You can just rename that file to something else, and then it won't activate.19:07
tedgapinheiro, If you just want to run the service on it's own for debugging you can also use dbus-test-runner to create a clandestine dbus session.19:08
