jasoncwarner_hey RAOF , I'm adding bug #824099 to a must-fix list for oneiric. you pretty confident on this getting done for Oneiric?00:05
ubot2Launchpad bug 824099 in gnome-settings-daemon "Max GL texture size can break multi-head" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/82409900:05
RAOFjasoncwarner_:  Reasonably so.  My first go doesn't seem to work properly, so I'm instrumenting it to see where.  It *should* be done within the next few days.00:08
jasoncwarner_RAOF: need some help with it or is this one of those where more hands make it harder?00:09
RAOFI don't think more hands would be particularly helpful.00:12
RAOFIf I stall I'll give a shout.00:12
jasoncwarner_RAOF: great, thanks...00:15
robert_ancellRAOF, hey, can you look at bug 813566 and see if my conclusions about g-s-d+xrandr make sense to you?00:18
ubot2Launchpad bug 813566 in unity-greeter "Greeter not displayed correctly on multi monitor setup" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81356600:18
robert_ancellparticularly the issue that Rocko is getting, not sure if there's anything we can do about that (in the greeter)00:18
RAOFrobert_ancell: Certainly.  Looking.00:19
RAOFrobert_ancell: That looks right to me - I guess you could do something about it in the greeter by not loading g-s-d's xrandr plugin, though.00:23
robert_ancellRAOF, if I didn't, then would the behaviour always be mirror?00:23
RAOFYes.00:23
RAOFThat's X's default setup00:23
robert_ancellok, that seems like the safest behaviour00:24
RAOFFWIW that's also the behaviour I *currently* see with lightdm, and also the behaviour I saw with gdm.00:24
robert_ancellyeah, I get the same too (unless I plug in a monitor after lightdm starts)00:26
robert_ancellI wonder why people are getting different00:26
RAOFI'd guess they'll have a monitors.xml lying around somewhere.00:26
RAOFThere was a setting at one point to make that system-wide, wasn't there?00:26
robert_ancellah00:26
bryceh~/.config/monitors.xml00:27
brycehRAOF, yes, although I'm not sure where that would put the file.00:27
broderi don't see anything in gnome-desktop that would write out a system-level file00:28
brodereven going back a few releases00:29
brycehbroder, in the gui in natty it's a button that says 'Make Default'00:29
brycehorg.gnome.randr.install-system-wide00:30
RAOFThere's no guarantee that's hooked up to anything, though :)00:30
robert_ancellbryceh, did we drop that or did upstream do it?00:30
brycehguessing it's in some global gconf registry00:30
brycehrobert_ancell, I would guess upstream did; seb128 might know better00:30
broderunless this changed pre-maverick, g-s-d doesn't have any awareness of specific filenames - it gets them all from gnome-desktop00:31
broderaha - /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/xrandr/default_configuration_file -> /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml00:36
broderbut i'm still not convinced anything looks at that00:36
brodernope! wrong again. g-s-d looks at ~/.config/monitors.xml, then /etc/g-s-d/etc00:38
RAOFSuccess!  I've accidentally done a test patch that refuses to configure a non-broken desktop, but that just shows that it's working :)00:45
robert_ancellRAOF, disabling xrandr makes it work well, cheers00:56
RAOFOk.  What's the best way to distinguish between running Unity and running Unity2D?01:05
RAOFHm.  Or, perhaps a better question - what's the best way to distinguish whether or not Compiz is running?01:07
TheMusoRAOF: I know various ways of doing so in shell scripts, but not in C. :)01:09
TheMusoOr at least, nothing that is not a horrible hack.01:09
TheMusoOr at least, nothing that is not a horrible hack./c01:09
RAOFAt a pinch I think I could query for the compositor selection.01:10
RAOFOr, my current simplest candidate, check the DESKTOP_SESSION environment for "ubuntu" rather than "ubuntu-2d"01:12
TheMusoYeah that could work, but it ties the fix to Ubuntu...01:14
RAOFWhich I'm actually ok with.01:16
RAOFBecause the *real* solution is for compositors to be less crap.01:16
TheMusoRight.01:17

cyphermoxjbicha: furthermore, I'm of the opinion that it should be a recommends or suggests, since it's not absolutely required for gnome-contacts to work01:19
broderRAOF: i think there's an X selection to indicate that the wm is compositing01:24

jbichacyphermox: I get the crash when I click the + button in Contacts01:24
jbichafurthermore, it doesn't pick up my contacts from g-o-a without it01:25
cyphermoxjbicha: it works for me without it01:25
cyphermoxand I still get the crash with :)01:26
RAOFbroder: Indeed there is.  However, that breaks unity2d users who've enabled compositing in metacity.01:26
jbichacyphermox: and you have a Google account set up in g-o-a?01:26
cyphermoxyup01:27
cyphermoxI see contacts, they could only have come from google.01:27
jbichacyphermox: do you use Evolution?01:29
cyphermoxI do, it's all set up with my work and personal email01:29
cyphermox(I use both evo and thunderbird)01:29
jbichait might pick up your contacts from Evolution...01:29
jbichaI think adding the dependency gets contacts working on a fresh install w/o Evolution01:30
cyphermoxmkay, but I maintain it shouldn't be required; it's crashing because there's a bug in gnome-contacts01:31
cyphermox(not that it couldn't be a Recommends though)01:32
jbichawould you sponsor as a recommends then?01:33
broderRAOF: does compositing-metacity not have this problem as well?01:36
cyphermoxjbicha: well, I could, but we should fix the bug too01:37
cyphermoxany idea what might be causing it?01:37
jbichacyphermox: no, but there's bug 84690801:38

RAOFbroder: No.  This is only a problem for compositors which use GL and aren't capable of splitting a window into multiple textures.01:38
jbichaI don't know anything about libfolks01:38
RAOFbroder: So any non-GL compositors are fine, as is compiz if you enable the split-my-windows plugin and don't use Unity (which has additional problems).  I don't know about gnome-shell.01:39
cyphermoxjbicha: also, http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-contacts/commit/?id=cc6422a1a39d936eadd98d734c289aa70d4f38bc01:39
broderRAOF: oh, huh. i didn't realize metacity composited without using GL01:40
RAOFThere's perfectly funtional 2D compositing infrastructure in XRender :)01:40
jbichacyphermox: ok, I see they rolled a new tarball for that so I'll test that first01:41
jbichaoh nm, we already have 3.2.0.101:42
cyphermoxoh, so we have it?01:42
jbichayes01:43
jbichaI think bug 835498 is serious since g-o-a is a very prominent button but it doesn't do anything in the default install01:50
ubot2Launchpad bug 835498 in gnome-online-accounts ""Online Accounts" doesn't seem to work" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/83549801:50
jbichaadding gnome-contacts to the default install would help but as we can see, it's not fully tested01:50
cyphermoxjbicha: that's not related to gnome-contacts01:54
cyphermoxgnome-contacts is afaik just a contact viewer01:54
jbichag-o-a claims to sync mail, calendar, contacts, chat, and documents & it doesn't do any of that in default01:57
RAOFjasoncwarner_: I've got a working patch for the texture size bug.  Now to clean it up and propose a branch merge; some review wouldn't go astray.02:15
cyphermoxjbicha: I don't know, I could see my google contacts in evo03:05
cyphermoxjbicha: and I didn't add that elsewhere than g-o-a, unless evo now extrapolates google contact accounts from email accounts (doubtful)03:06
jbichacyphermox: right, it works in Evolution but not in Thunderbird yet, I'm surprised that GTalk didn't appear to be setup for Empathy though03:20
TheMusojbicha: I didn't think you could work with google contacts in thunderbird without the correct extension...03:21
cyphermoxmkay but the thunderbird part may only be because there is g-o-a instrumentation in both eds and evo, from what I remember03:21
cyphermoxotoh, you're right it should appear in empathy, I think, but maybe it hasn't been enabled?03:22
jbichaI expect Thunderbird to support g-o-a for 12.0403:23
cyphermoxjbicha, I started looking at the crash, but it's being a pain in the ass (and I can't seem to compile gnome-contacts now), so I'll get back to it later03:28
cyphermoxI may have found a way to get more information for my annoying libnl / wired and wifi connected at the same time NM bug, so I'll drop off to do some more testing03:28

pittididrocks: file -> new window works fine; new tab wreaks havoc, yes07:00
pittiI do like to be able to open bookmarks, though07:00
pittibut anyway, no strong opinion there, I just wondered why it was considered so urgent07:00
didrockspitti: right, but you can have a lot of options that are not relevant07:00
didrockslike showing the side pane07:01
pittiyeah, I guess so07:01
didrockswe had a nice menu last cycle07:01
didrocksan the quicklist we wanted to add is relying on this patch07:01
didrocksit just had to be updated to GNOME 3, which is what was asked to dx as they did that patch07:01
didrocks(and it's not really trivial)07:01
didrocksI think, as with the current options, we can break the desktop, it should be fixed before finale07:02
didrocksI'll reping *once more* dx about it07:02
didrockspitti: can I reset it to high? I guess it really needs to be fixed before final freeze07:06

agateautkamppeter: so you want to create an appindicator using python-qt, right?07:32
tkamppeteragateau, so you know that it is about bug 857929. It seems that I have fixed it by modifying hp-systray with a one-line patch (see the comments about my work in the bug) for the user who reported this bug.07:33

pittididrocks: btw, I cleaned up the pad for some packages which were already uploaded; if you do one, can you please remove it or move to "unapproved"?07:34
tkamppeteragateau, this one-line patch does not make an app-indicator of hp-systray but it is a minimum-invasive solution to make it working with sni-qt, for Oneiric, as we are so close to release.07:34
pittididrocks: oh, the libpeas update doesn't happen to fix bug 857348?07:35

tkamppeteragateau, now I have observed another bug related to hp-systray and sni-qt: In contrary to the problem of the reporter of the bug for me the icon does not show right after login. I only get it if I either start hp-toolbox or if I kill all processes of hp-systray and then start hp-systray again.

agateautkamppeter: regarding the activated() signal: you are correct when you say you won't receive it, at least not when running on Unity. On Unity, both left and right clicks show the menu. On KDE left click emits the activated() signal, right click shows the menu. This is not a bug it is part of the design of app indicators (no longer wonder which mouse button to use)07:47

seb128jbicha, hey08:24
jbichaseb128: hi08:24
kenvandinegood morning everyone08:24
seb128jbicha, do you know if somebody is pushing for the gdm update?08:24
seb128we should probably try to get 3.2 and the shell greeter in oneiric08:24
seb128but that seems stalled08:24
seb128kenvandine, good night? ;-)08:24
seb128kenvandine, you decided to stop sleeping? :-)08:25
kenvandinehehe... no i am actually up early this time :)08:25
rodrigo_hey kenvandine08:25
seb128hum08:25
seb128kenvandine, it's it like 3am for you?08:25
seb128hey rodrigo_08:25
kenvandine4:2508:25
seb128oh, I'm one hour off08:25
rodrigo_yeah, too early :)08:25
kenvandinemeeting...08:25
rodrigo_hi seb12808:25
seb128still very early ;-)08:25
* kenvandine blames jasoncwarner_ :-D08:25
jbichaseb128: GDM 3.0 works & is generally tested in Oneiric, do we want to risk trying GDM 3.2 at this point?08:26
seb128jbicha, well I would think the shell greeter is a good part of the GNOME 3.2 experience08:26
seb128pitti, ^ do you have any opinion on getting gdm 3.2 in?08:27
didrocksjbicha: indeed08:28
pittiseb128: hmm, seems fairly risky and involved at this time08:29
jasoncwarner_oh, sorry kenvandine it got cancelled08:29
jasoncwarner_kenvandine: :(08:29
pittiwe fixed lightdm to make itself the default on upgrades, which mitigates the risk08:29
jasoncwarner_kenvandine: j/k08:30
* rodrigo_ imagines kenvandine's face now :)08:30
jasoncwarner_kenvandine: that would be cruel!08:30
kenvandinehehe08:30
kenvandine:-D08:30
pittiseb128: but I wouldn't veto it, as none of our derivatives uses it any more08:30
rodrigo_jbicha, have you tried it?08:30
pittijbicha: system settings icon in launcher> *sob*08:31
jbicharodrigo_: only on Fedora 1608:31
rodrigo_jbicha, maybe we could have it in the desktop PPA?08:31
jbichapitti: of course I'd rather have a Help button there :) but that proposal didn't get enough support08:34
didrocksjbicha: you can discuss about it with JohnLea on #ayatana08:35
seb128he will comment on the bug to give some extra details btw08:36
seb128jbicha, he said that the bug was approched the wrong way that's why he marked the design component as opinion08:37
seb128i.e the bug should have been "need to make easier to access the user documentation"08:37
seb128then the bug can discuss solutions08:37
seb128rather than coming with a solution08:37
pittiGunnarHj: replied to the MP08:43
didrockspitti: team report reminder (I will probably be away during the meeting, doctor appointment, I'll make the wiki page clear enough on what's going on and will be back after)08:44
jbichahmm, we thought the Launcher item was the simplest fix & I did try to draw attention to the issue08:44
jbichahttps://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg06306.html08:44
seb128jbicha, yeah, I don't say that design is right, I'm just trying to sort the "John marked the bug as Opinion without any comment"08:47
jbichaseb128: thanks, but OPINION is basically the same as WONTFIX, maybe Ayatana uses their bugs differently but still...08:50
seb128jbicha, that's why I asked John to comment08:51
seb128jbicha, he basically told me that giving a solution rather than expressing the problem was giving an opinion, and that he doesn't consider "Opinion" as "Wontfix" and he would have "Wontfixed" the bug if he though there was no issue08:52
seb128jbicha, he said that somebody should open a bug about "the user documentation should be easier to access" and dup that one from it08:53
seb128well, let's wait for him to comment on the bug08:53

tkamppeterI have a suggestion to make the printing-related part of the development of Ubuntu even better. I can buy HP printer worth 10000 USD every year on HP's cost, from this year's budget I could also buy some printers for UDSes and Sprints (which will travel around from event to event) and so we can do better testing on the events (and also print boarding passes), for example for things like bug 802304 and bug 857929.

ubot2Launchpad bug 854622 in update-manager "Could not install libglib2.0" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85462209:23
pittimvo: it very much looks like a side effect of pkgbinarymangler, I just don't see yet how09:24
pittididrocks: oneconf FTW!09:24
didrocks:-)09:24
* didrocks should starts drafting the (crazy) ideas he had for OneConf for P09:24
pittiseb128: conffiles> I reinstalled around beta-109:25
GunnarHjpitti: It doesn't exactly break upgrades, but the UI on upgraded (as opposed to freshly installed) systems gets messy.09:25
mvopitti: noodles from #software-center can reproduce this, he has a machine in the broken state09:25
mvopitti: the binary mangler runs only on the buildd, right? so its a real mystery to me how the package is broken on the local machine given that AFAICT all debs are correct09:26
pittimvo: well, you can install it locally for local builds as well09:26
pittibut if you don't have it installed, then you shouldn't get a wrong changelog.Debian.gz (and certainly not a truncated one)09:27
pittimvo: I don't see how pkgbinarymangler can make changelog.Debian.gz not a symlink, and still mention a wrong package09:27
GunnarHjpitti: So the idea is to execute those three lines if KDE, but not otherwise. Which for us would in effect be as I suggested originally.09:27
pittiGunnarHj: so what breaks if these three members get initialized? nothing in the UI uses them09:28
pittiin the GTK UI, I mean09:28
pittiseb128: I have /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu, but that seems current09:30
pittiseb128: but as I reinstalled, I guess I lost the files, as expected; my question was mainly which particular files need removing, and in which packages (as I don't see them any more)09:31
mvopitti: thanks for the followup, its a mystery to me as well - is (cd / ; md5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/libglib2.0-data.md5sums ) giving you the expected result on your oneiric amd64 machine?09:31
GunnarHjpitti: Correct, but as an example for me (who have had quite some languages installed for test purposes) is that if I install Chinese (Simplified), the checkbox next to the language is not ticked, since l-s think that input methods are missing...09:31
pittimvo: I tried this, and changelogs are correct, yes09:31
tkamppeteragateau, I have reported my problem which I talked about with you here today as bug 860395.09:32

mvopitti: its odd as I downloaded the archive debs and they look fine09:33
agateautkamppeter: if you run killall indicator-application-service, the service gets restarted and the menu appears09:34

pittimd5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/libglib2.0-0:amd64.md5sums is fine as well09:37
pittimvo: WTH09:37
tkamppeteragateau, yes, that's it. the problem of HP's menu is that it is dynamic. It adds and removes entries as one adds and removes printers. I have very many HP printers (around 15 entries) and probably this makes the menu generation slow for me and so when sni-qt picks up the menu on hp-systray startup it is still empty.09:38
pittimvo: so something is changing the changelog during install?09:38
pittimvo: what's the expected md5sum in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libglib2.0-data.md5sums, same as mine?09:38
mvopitti: yeah, it looks like it. and I bet its something during a complex run because I did try to reproduce this in chroot with just the glib packages and had no luck there09:38
agateautkamppeter: dynamic menus are correctly handled, I believe it is an initialization issue in sni-qt: once your menu is visible, it should correctly updates itself when you add/remove printers09:39
mvopitti: ce002095400b45d6a0a93bb03f065edf  usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-data/changelog.Debian.gz09:39

mvoyes09:39
pitti/var/lib/dpkg/info/libglib2.0-0:i386.md5sums also ok, FWIW09:39
pittimvo: did this always happen on upgrades from natty?09:40
pittimvo: perhaps natty's glib packages had symlinks, and dpkg fails to replace them with files properly?09:40
mvopitti: I don't think so, but let me try to run a fresh upgrade test09:40
* pitti downloads natty debs09:40
pittimvo: I mean, do you know if that was ever observed on an install of oneiric b1 or b2?09:41
mvopitti: I don't think so, I'm pretty certain this is a upgrade issue09:41
pittiok09:41
* mvo runs a full automatic upgrade test now09:42
pittimvo: with multiarch glib packages already installed during natty, or has this been shown to affect a "pure" amd64 install?09:42
* pitti wonders how to prepare natty to enable multiarch support, we didn't even support that in natty yet?09:43
mvopitti: this was a pure natty09:44
mvopitti: in my case, in noodles case probably too09:44
pittiand natty final had no changelog.Debian.gz symlinks09:44
RAOFchrisccoulson: What's the way to get gnome-settings-daemon to print out that fancy timestamped stuff?09:45
pittimvo: do you know how /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch gets created during upgrade?09:46
mvopitti: I just checked /var/log/apt/history.log - my most recent -data upgrade was from 2.29.16-0ubuntu2 to 2.29.90-0ubuntu109:46
mvopitti: yes, its created09:46
pittimvo: I suppose some postinst script? or does updtae-manager do that?09:47
mvoupdate-manager is doing it as a quirk handler09:47
pittiah, so a simple apt-get dist-upgrade wouldn't09:47
mvoindeed09:47
pittiI suppose I could manually create it, and then use apt-get09:47
mvoonly do-release-upgrade09:48
mvoyeah, or just do-release-upgrade from update-manager-core, that will take care of it too09:48
mvopitti: upgrade is now running, we should have some more data after lunchtime09:54
pittimvo: hm, I tried to upgrade natty to oneiric glibc/glib2.0  and then install libglib2.0-0:i386, all worked09:56
pittiif it was a problem with the .debs and pkgbinarymangler, that ought to have exposed the problem by now?09:56
mvopitti: right, maybe its a problem with dpkg during the upgrade? I'm currently trying to find some way to reproduce this09:58
pittibut why the heck would it install libglib2.0-data's changelog.Debian.gz into doc/libglib2.0-0 ?09:59
pittididrocks: btw, is http://start.ubuntu-fr.org/10.04/ still relevant/ http://start.ubuntu.com/ is translated these days10:01
pittididrocks: i. e. is there anything extra but translations for which the French loco would want their own start page?10:01
didrockspitti: there is the "enventelibre" shop link (shop that I launched a few years ago to sell ubuntu-fr's goodies and now that tries to gather all "free software goodies" for non governemental organization around free software) in addition to the canonical shop10:03
pittididrocks: ah, thanks10:03
didrocksit's where we sell our mugs, TS, stickers, french CD respin10:03
didrocks(I need to ask Julie to redo the design btw, thanks for reminding me that ;))10:04
pittididrocks: oh, seems it actually drops the link to the canonical shop then?10:04
didrocksargh, I asked to fix that twice already10:05
didrocksthere was at natty launch the two links10:05
* didrocks finds the ubuntu-fr webteam10:05
mvopitti: it all does not make much sense, I do agree :/10:07

jibelafter today's update, the power preferences of my systems changed to suspend after 30mn of inactivity when plugged in. Is that on purpose or a bug ?11:21
seb128jibel, did the preference change or did the behaviour change?11:23
jibelseb128, the preference changed11:23
seb128jibel, they fixed a bug which was making that action not work11:23
seb128ok, dunno then that's not supposed to11:23
seb128check with rodrigo_11:23
seb128the behaviour might be normal, it was just buggy and didn't work before for some users11:23
jibeloh, so maybe it didn't work before but didn't noticed it because that was the behavior I expected11:23
mvowith the app-indicators, is there a way to know if the current system actually supports them? something like gtk_status_icon_is_embedded() just for app_indicators11:23
seb128jibel, that would rather make sense11:24
pittiit's still a rather bad default at least in AC mode IMHO11:24
seb128mvo, not sure, it auto fallback to gtkstatusicon but I guess you want to handle cases without systray as well?11:24
seb128pitti, yeah, I agree it's a bug, I would just be surprised that the preference value changed11:25
mvoseb128: hm, actually that automatic fallback may be good enough11:25
jibelseb128, thanks, I'll verify that the preference doesn't change on upgrade just to make sure.11:25
seb128jibel, can you open a bug about the default not being correct?11:26
seb128we probably want to distro patch it out11:26

ubot2mdeslaur: The gif_read_lzw function in filter/image-gif.c in CUPS 1.4.8 and earlier does not properly handle the first code word in an LZW stream, which allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted stream, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2896. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3170)12:42
pittimdeslaur: cheers12:42
mvoseb128: for a lot of cases like "unrar" its pretty simple and we don't need s-c, just the dbus call12:43
seb128mvo, ok, well easy solution is to turn that configure flag on I guess, you might still want to try to get that for Oneiric maybe, and patches welcome for s-c :-)12:43

pittiit's veeeery late, and hasn't really been tested yet15:34
didrocksI guess this one is on my plate :)15:34
pittiI understand it's in ubuntu-desktop?15:34
didrockspitti: it's basically the one in the ubuntu-desktop ppa for a while15:34
didrocksbut I agree it's late15:34
tkamppeterhi15:34
pittididrocks: are there some testing instructions somewhere, so that we can test this from the PPA a bit?15:35
didrockspitti: I guess I need the release of the last version (the one which doesn't need the environment variable then)15:35
didrockspitti: and then, yeah, I can give you some instructions for tomorrow morning15:35
didrocksI tested, found some unity crashes, they are fixed now in oneiric15:36
didrocksand I listed some bugs that needed to be fixed before entering oneiric (not related to the FFe itself)15:36
pittididrocks: thanks, that's appreciated, and would help for the FFE15:36
didrocksthey are all fixed after 2 weeks15:36
didrocksjust to tell it's been tested, but more testing is appreciated, right, will setup that tomorrow once I get the release :)15:36

pittidoes that apply to us? the powerpc binaries are all 32 bit, I though15:40
cyphermoxit might on arm15:40
* Sweetshark grumbles. missed the praise because I wanted to get the patches for ubuntu4 to fix commited before the meeting ...15:41
pittihm, arm is little-endian and 32 bit15:41

cyphermoxany help would be welcome, but it seems to be muchly an issue in libnl, I'm working on it and it was submitted upstream15:42
pitticyphermox: I've seen the same issue for years, I don't think it's new; did it get worse?15:42
cyphermoxpitti: this is with connecting wifi and wired at the same time15:42
seb128oh, that's a nm issue? I switched to wifi this week, I though my router was broken15:42
cyphermoxit definitely did work in Natty15:42
seb128router or cable or something15:43
cyphermoxseb128: routes are missing a "metric X" value; which causes something like 80% packet loss, if not 100%15:43
pitticyphermox: I was once connected to both eth and wifi at the same time in natty, and it did exactly that -- half of the TCP connectinos were broken15:43
seb128didn't have time to investigate yet, it's just that wifi works fine15:43
cyphermoxpitti: WFM ;)15:43
cyphermoxadding the metric makes it work too, some maybe you were seeing something else too15:43
cyphermoxanyway, that's all I had15:44

pittino problem :)15:57
pittifun is what this is all about15:57
tkamppeterpitti, and printers for individual developers I can handle directly with the developer. So only developers or team leaders, or ... should peak up if there are needs.16:00
tkamppeterpitti, how to contact the IS team?16:00

mdeslaurseb128: can I upload a fix for #859498 ? I'll send it upstream after16:06
dobeyrodrigo_: dobey is not working on it16:23
dobeypedro_: so, the only bits that have changed since 11.04 with that are banshee, webkit, and mono; this doesn't seem to be an issue on 11.04, so i would be suspecting one of those 3 things16:27
dobeywhy it doesn't happen in the amz store, or software-center or anything else, i don't know. but that evidence tends to lead me away from webkit16:27

seb128if not the xfce session needs to set "org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons" to false18:18

seb128desrt, sorry got sidetracked, it's an apt-get install away and works great out of the box20:16
desrtseb128: what got screwed up?20:16
seb128desrt, the screwups are webkit, we stayed on 1.4 because we got bitten by not having a stable by release time previous cycle, which means we didn't get epiphany 3.2 in and webapps20:17
seb128we will get it in the gnome20:17
seb128we will get it in the gnome3 ppa20:17
seb128desrt, the other one is that nobody updated gdm to 3.2 and it's getting late, we might ppa that as well20:17
seb128kenvandine, great ;-)20:18
desrtseb128: bit of a shame on the second point20:18

seb128desrt, yes, I was asking around today if somebody was interested to do it and asking pitti if he would stick ack it, he was pondering seems a non trivial update late but since we don't use it by default it's less of a potential issue20:18
jbichaif one one gets to it sooner I hope to play with GDM 3.2 by this weekend20:19

seb128- nothing on the greeter is displaying translated23:00
seb128- g-s-d from the greeter keep running after login23:00
seb128(which breaks g-s-d)23:00
seb128- the session local is english23:00
bjfslangasek, there is nothing in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d  (only the directory exists)23:00
jasoncwarner_morning everyone...meeting time. bryceh RAOF TheMuso robert_ancell23:01
robert_ancellseb128, so 1 & 3 seem to be the same issue, I'm not getting LANG set from PAM (and PATH either)23:01
jasoncwarner_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2011-09-2723:01
robert_ancellseb128, 2 is odd...23:01
slangasekbjf: yeppers - this was meant to have been created automatically on install from beta-1 on, but there was a bug23:01
TheMusoMorning folks.23:01
slangasekbjf: so I'm gonna poke it into the dpkg package itself shortly23:01
RAOFMornin' all.23:01
bjfslangasek, way cool23:01
jasoncwarner_I imagine everyone is quite busy, so we can make it fast today.23:01
bjfslangasek, (that it's going to get fixed)23:02
jasoncwarner_RAOF: care to update on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/82409923:02
ubot2Ubuntu bug 824099 in gnome-desktop3 "Max GL texture size can break multi-head" [High,In progress]23:02
DBOdoes anyone else just blindly ignore all notify OSD things?23:02
brycehheya23:02
RAOFbroder has reviewed the patch I've got for that on https://code.launchpad.net/~raof/gnome-desktop/workaround-bug-824099/+merge/77097 and very reasonably pointed out that fork without exec in a library is antisocial.  I'm respinning it as a split-out binary now.23:03
RAOFThere's also a string-freeze exception request for it, as it adds a new user-visible error message when you try to set a config that won't work in Unity.23:03
seb128robert_ancell, sec, I tried to put it on u1 but I get a "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."23:04
jasoncwarner_RAOF: ok, should we look for it tomorrowish? (final freeze, after all ;) )23:04
robert_ancellseb128, paste.ubuntu.com?23:05
seb128robert_ancell, I was not sure if those logs have private infos23:05
jasoncwarner_TheMuso: how are things looking for Unity-2d and ubiquity on a11y?23:05
RAOFjasoncwarner_: Yes.  Stripping the check out into a separate binary won't be hard; the autofoo will probably be the most annoying bit.23:05
robert_ancellseb128, nah, it should be safe23:05
seb128robert_ancell, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/698179/23:05
TheMusojasoncwarner_: Very good actually. A few key ubiquity bugs have been fixed in previous days, which should make the screen reader experience with ubiquity somewhat better. There is more to do, but thats for P.23:06
jasoncwarner_TheMuso: great, thanks.23:06
jasoncwarner_TheMuso: how about sound? anything you wanted to report?23:06
TheMusoAs for unity-2d, just about everythign is accessible, there is just a few little bugs here and there with regards to things on the dash not being spoken, and quicklists closing when you try and arrow up/down them for the first time. The 2d devs know about these alrady./23:06
TheMusojasoncwarner_: Final lot of bugfixes for pulse going in today. As it is, 1.0 of pulse was released overnight, and since its only bugfixes since we pulled from git master last time, I am pretty sure I can put it all in before final freeze.23:07
jasoncwarner_TheMuso: oh, great.23:07
jasoncwarner_TheMuso: all bug fixes? nothing slipping in ;)? I get on other teams about slipping in stuff, so have to ask our own! :)23:08
TheMusojasoncwarner_: You have my word that I will be personally checking every commit that is possibly going in.23:08
jasoncwarner_TheMuso: awesome, thanks!23:09
jasoncwarner_robert_ancell: want to update on LightDM and Unity-Greeter? how is multimonitor going?23:09
robert_ancellthe latest unity-greeter (0.1.0) should be all fixed, but awaiting final confirmation from affected users23:10
robert_ancellthere is one more lightdm release I want to make, just working through some last minute regressions23:10
jasoncwarner_robert_ancell: what is in the last release for lightdm? anything significant? bug fixes?23:11
robert_ancella bunch of fixes, nothing notable for the standard use case23:12
jasoncwarner_robert_ancell: cool23:13
jasoncwarner_bryceh: anything you wanted to discuss?23:13
brycehjasoncwarner_, just hammering on some bugs, but did have a ocuple general questions23:13
bryceha. has a name for P been decided yet?23:13
jasoncwarner_bryceh: I haven't seen it announced yet. Anyone see anything?23:13
brycehb. has it been decided where we going in January?23:13
jasoncwarner_bryceh: b. not that I've heard, but the date seems set. I'll find out.23:14
brycehI've heared rumors of Lisbon23:14
jasoncwarner_bryceh: yeah, I don't know so I'll start probing marianna to get the deets23:15
brycehjasoncwarner_, speaking of the multimonitor issues, I've been poking at it the past couple days23:15
jasoncwarner_bryceh: the one RAOF is working on? or the tablecloth one?23:15
brycehjasoncwarner_, no different one, pitti had mentioned it23:15
jasoncwarner_(for those that don't know...bryce explained multi-monitor to me using table cloth analogy...he effectively dumbed down X to manager speak ;) )23:16
brycehjasoncwarner_, well, really, just poking around at dual-head configuration... there seems to be a lot of little glitchy problems23:16
jasoncwarner_bryceh: bug #?23:16
brycehhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/82862323:16
ubot2Ubuntu bug 828623 in gnome-control-center "[Regression] gnome control centre does not allow you to disable the laptop screen while leaving an external DisplayPort connected screen working" [High,Triaged]23:16
jasoncwarner_bryceh: ah, yeah...ok...thanks for looking at that.23:18
jasoncwarner_bryceh: anything else ?23:18
jasoncwarner_anyone, AOB?23:18
brycehnope23:18
jasoncwarner_ok, sounds about right.23:20
jasoncwarner_end meeting - thanks everyone!23:20
jasoncwarner_final few days ;)23:20
brycehjasoncwarner_, I suppose my thinking with multimonitor is that I'm not seeing so much a massive "totally broken" situation, but rather more of a "so many little glitches it's fragile as an icecycle"23:21
RAOFIs that like a lightcycle?  If so, that'd be pretty cool :P23:22
jasoncwarner_bryceh: probably right, imo. I'm hoping RAOF's change will make it better (at least you can't put yourself into a bad state) and then we have to make it a priority for P23:24
brycehicecycle, humm ;-)23:24
RAOFMy patch will only prevent a very specific case of breakage.23:25
RAOFAlthough, in the general case, the "You have 30 seconds to hit the 'yes, this worked' button" should catch most other really broken setups.  Unless the bug wedges something into a strange and broken state where undoing the change fails too.23:25
brycehkinda wish gnome-display-properties was implemented in a way that was easier for us X guys to hack on23:26
RAOFIt's all in libgnome-desktop for some reason :)23:26
brycehRAOF, hey in one test I was able to get it not to restore, so after fixing with xrandr, I saw a dialog with "You have -231 seconds to hit the button"23:26
brycehgot a photo of that one :-)23:26
RAOFAwesome!23:26
RAOFAlso, disturbing.23:27
RAOFMemory corruption?23:27
jbichamy touchpad cursor froze earlier today in Unity; I had to log out and back in to get it back23:27
brycehRAOF, maybe; system crashed and burned not long after23:27
RAOFOh, hey!  Four finger gestures are working again in Unity!23:27
brycehRAOF, I wish instead of pumping so much X config code into gnome-desktop, that they'd made a separate C library to go with libXrandr23:28
brycehcurrently we have duplicate monitor configuration logic in xrandr and in gnome-display-properties (but the former appears to work more reliably)23:28
SarvattRAOF: 4 finger tap for the dash?23:28
seb128bryceh, ok, I had a look but I don't know how to get a debug log from gnome-desktop23:29
RAOFSarvatt: Yah.  The four-finger pinch doesn't seem to trigger scale anymore, though :/23:29
seb128bryceh, you can run gnome-settings-daemon with --debug to see what the g-s-d code is doing23:29
Sarvattsweet, vanhoof was complaining because he lost that upgrading to oneiric23:29
brycehseb128, ok thanks; wondered if there was something like that23:29
brycehRAOF, oh forgot to mention, I also spoke with keithp; no plans for introducing RANDR 1.4 for xserver 1.1223:31
brycehsounds like it's backburnered for a while23:31
brycehRAOF, also, Sarvatt and I were talking about 1.11 for P-series and the breakages from lacking multitouch23:32
RAOFRealistically that sort of thing might want to be backburnered until airlied knows how to split display from rendering.23:32
Sarvattunity no workie when the gesture extension isn't available - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/86070723:33
ubot2Ubuntu bug 860707 in unity "Unity crashes when started in an environment without utouch support" [Undecided,Confirmed]23:33
brycehRAOF, question that sprang to mind is if switching to 1.11 is going to bring more grief than glee, should we consider scrapping it altogether and just stick with 1.10?  1.11 has bugfixes but I guess the most critical ones we've already backported by now, or gotten in the .4 update.23:33
RAOFI think that switching to 1.11, assuming that it's not a lot of work for cnd would be the right thing to do.  I think the newer server is more likely to acquire fixes.23:35
RAOFBut I'm not strongly of that opinion.23:36
brycehjasoncwarner_, do you have any opinions/direction on this?23:37
jasoncwarner_bryceh: catching up...23:38
jasoncwarner_one sec23:38
Sarvattthe video side of things will be absolutely fine with 1.11 by the start of 12.0423:39
brycehjasoncwarner_, basically the situation is that last UDS we planned to update to 1.11 immediately once P-series opens, so we maximize time to stabilize it.  However, right now it looks like doing so is going to bring us major breakages that can't be fixed very rapidly23:39
brycehSarvatt, you mean for proprietary drivers?23:39
Sarvattyeah, although I'm not positive about fglrx yet23:40
RAOFSo the other likely breakage is with multitouch.23:40
jasoncwarner_bryceh: what kind of breakage? can we maintain in PPA for a bit until it stabilizes? I'm thinking latest will get updates (as someone noted above), but breaking platform for everyone for a period of time is bad :(23:40
brycehjasoncwarner_, fglrx unusable (must switch to -ati), and the multitouch breakage prevents unity from running.23:41
brycehRAOF, does it break unity-2d too?23:41
RAOFbryceh: I don't know.23:41
RAOFbryceh: But we wouldn't upload it until the multitouch patches were refreshed for 1.11; either by Chase or us.23:42
RAOFSo this is more "there's some extra work to be done before 1.11 can be uploaded" rather than "there's some unavoidable breakage involved"23:42
jasoncwarner_bryceh RAOF being foundational, it would be hard to have it be broken for everyone. if we can mitigate, that is ideal23:43
brycehso, stay on 1.10 until cnd has a chance to do the refresh?23:43
RAOFWe generally have a couple of days of breakage a cycle.  If that could all be packed into the coupel of days right after the toolchain is bootstrapped, that would affect the fewest people.23:44
brycehjasoncwarner_, just as a note, the requirement to get 1.11 right at the start of P-series comes from rickspencer23:44
RAOFbryceh: Yeah.  Or, I guess, one of us could potentially refresh it, at the cost of higher bug probability. :)23:44
brycehjasoncwarner_, so if we're going to break that requirement, maybe you could doublecheck with him that it's acceptable?  The alternative would be to just stay on 1.10 for the lts.23:45
jasoncwarner_bryceh: no worries...not saying we stay with 1.10, more saying let's be smart about 1.11 if we expect mass breakage. so, if going to 1.11 breaks x for 2 months, would rather not break it for everyone ;) do we have a feel for how bad, how long and to what degree breakage would occur?23:46
RAOFOn the input side, Unity would be broken until the multitouch patches were refreshed.23:47
brycehjasoncwarner_, basically it's blocked on getting that multitouch patch update from cnd's team23:47
RAOFOn the video side... Sarvatt knows more, and seems to expect that things would be ready to go.23:47
jasoncwarner_bryceh: alright, if that is all that is blocking it, seems minor and we have to ask cnd to make it a priority23:47
bryceh(or on one of us going through and figuring out how to refresh it ourselves, but it's like a 300k set of patches)23:48
RAOFIt's not quite that bad, but it *is* potentially a serious chunk of work.23:48
Sarvattan xserver release update typically is only broken for a few hours for people using open source drivers, the worst case is waiting for proprietary video driver updates but that wont be a problem this time around. at most a day or two waiting for alberto to upload the updated ones :)23:48
jasoncwarner_Sarvatt: yeah, a couple of hours doesn't bother me ;) it is more a case if it is weeks23:49
Sarvattyou have to upload the server and wait for it to be built/published before you can upload ~80 drivers to build against that, updates are broken in that chunk of time23:49
RAOFAnd if we can get those couple of days to be the couple of days after the toolchain is ready, practically no one will notice.23:49
SarvattRAOF: video-vmware is the only open source one that doesn't build against 1.11 btw23:50
RAOFOh, it doesn't?  Eh.23:50
RAOFIt probably will by the time we're uploading this stuff :)23:51
Sarvattyepyep23:51
Sarvattits not exactly essential either, i just removed it from video-all for now23:51
Sarvattwill talk to alberto tomorrow and see if amd has any dates on when they might have an fglrx ready23:52
Sarvattbut nvidia will be absolutely fine23:52
