giganandhi, not entirely sure this is the right place, but i'm finding that unity2d doesn't respect my choice of primary monitor (11.04, current daily ppa)06:46
giganandand i'm trying to use it with xinerama06:47
oSoMoNgood morning06:58
njpatelTrevinho, I think I was experiencing this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/86919609:35
ubot5Ubuntu bug 869196 in unity (Ubuntu) "unity panel menus don't stay open when clicked on second monitor" [Undecided,New]09:35
njpatelI'm going to have a look at it, but if you have time, that would be appreciated09:35
Trevinhonjpatel: I think that is related to the fact that actually that the dbus apis of the panel service09:39
Trevinhodoesn't consider the fact that there are more than one panel running...09:40
TrevinhoI told to you something few weeks ago...09:40
TrevinhoBasically, when we sync the geometries09:40
Trevinhowe just sync them for one screen...09:40
njpatelTrevinho, but that shouldn't close the menu09:41
Trevinhowhile each screen should have its geometries and its own related indicators09:41
njpatelat least, it didn't clsoe the menu09:41
TrevinhoEh, it didn't since it used another way to mange when closing the menus09:42
Trevinhoand that was causing some other bugs09:42
TrevinhoSo I used the synced geometries to chck when closing a menu...09:42
Trevinhoi see if I can find a better workaround to manage this issue, also if a re-design of that interface should be done09:43
Trevinhohowever njpatel I guess that that bug is happening when the two scrreens have different geometries, isn't it?09:46
njpatelTrevinho, yes, most likely, let me check09:47
njpatelTrevinho, yes09:48
TrevinhoSo, I thought about this possible issue when writing the code, but since I wasn't able to test, I just wait...09:48
njpatelTrevinho, I think the check should just into account the y from the top of the monitor09:48
njpatelmonitor(s)09:48
TrevinhoMh, that could lead to other issues...09:48
Trevinhobut... If I make the panel sync the geometries per-screen, then I guess we can handle this issue well09:49
TrevinhoI think there's no api change to do09:49
Trevinhofor now09:49
TrevinhoI'll try09:49
njpatelTrevinho, hmm, okay, I'll at least look at some workarounds for now, as we need something for 11.1009:50
njpatelSRU-able09:50
TrevinhoI know njpatel09:50
njpatelTrevinho, :)09:54

Andy80it's just me or notification under Oneiric are completly broken? I used to get a small blue triangle in the top left corner... now there is not anymore...... is it a bug?11:11
njpatelAndy80, no, it was removed as it was deemed confusing as clicking on it would open the dash and not take you to the app(s) that needed attention11:36
njpatelAndy80, unfortunately there has been no design for a better solution as yet11:36
Andy80:(11:36
Andy80it think it's worse now.... I'm away for more then 5 seconds and I can miss a notification for many hours...11:37
njpatelyeah, it's not great. I'll remind the design team that that is something that needs to be fixed for p11:40
Andy80njpatel: I hope there will be a dedicated session at UDS to talk about these things :) there are also other things that made me feel disoriented switching from Natty to Oneiric, probably end users will have the same problems... nothing too difficoult to fix anyway11:55
njpatelAndy80, I'm pretty sure there is a general design one, but I can make sure11:56
Andy80it would be nice anyway.... I think we don't need a dedicated slot for each problem... a couple of sessions should be enough to discuss about everything. I'll take note in the mean time11:58
njpatelthanks12:00

Trevinhonjpatel: this needs to be tuned, but please test if this works to you: http://paste.ubuntu.com/705374/12:45
TrevinhoActually we should tune panelview to make it sync also when changing screeen geometries or in other few cases12:46
Trevinhobut once your panel-service is synced now it should work correctly12:46
Trevinho(WIth the current panelview just focus and -unfocus the nautilus desktop to make sure your panel service is synced)12:47
Trevinhonjpatel: ^ ;)12:47
njpatelTrevinho, nice, will take a look in a bit, need to get through some reviews :)12:48
TrevinhoOk, np... njpatel if it's fine, then I'll finish it...13:00
njpatelTrevinho, give me ~20mins13:01
TrevinhoAlso to get the same in unity2d it only needs to change its name per-monitor13:01
Trevinhook, just the time to watch a new episode of HIMYM..,. :)13:01
njpatelbut it won't break 2d as it is, right?13:02
Trevinhonjpatel: no breakage13:06
Trevinhounity 2d just needs optimizations13:06
Trevinhothe api was already there... I used what we already had13:06
njpatelshweet13:08
njpatelTrevinho, can you push a branch or use another pastebin? I can't download the patch13:28
Trevinhonjpatel: here you are: http://pastebin.com/A8MEMX1n13:29
njpatelTrevinho, sweet, testing13:30
njpatelTrevinho, works!13:34
njpatelTrevinho, dude, I am getting the first-click-doesn't-always-keep-menu-open issue (like I was a few weeks ago), though, but that's separate I guess13:35
njpatelTrevinho, I think I got a test-case13:36
njpatelTrevinho, click to open a menu, press Esc to close it, and then click to open another menu, it'll close automatically13:36
Saviqgreyback: you're not on mumble, are you, without Kaleo being around?13:39
greybackSaviq, no I'm not, sorry13:40
Saviqgreyback: no worries13:40
Trevinhonjpatel: ok, good testcase.. I'll fix that as well I hope...13:53
Trevinhoabout the primary bug13:53
TrevinhoI.e. the multi-monitor issue13:54
TrevinhoIs the sync working well there?13:54
TrevinhoI mean, the geometry sync...13:54
njpatelTrevinho, seems to be13:56
njpatelI've tested a few times, but will keep at it13:56
TrevinhoI've to check if the sync is happening on start and after enabling / disabling a screen13:57
TrevinhoMaybe we should make to resync also on ~PanelMenuView...13:57
Trevinhosorry, on ~PanelView13:57
njpatelTrevinho, any luck with the patch?15:54
Trevinho njpatel I had no time ti finish it yet...15:54
TrevinhoI hope I can work on it tonight15:54
Trevinhohowever, if that is working correclty to you I only have to handle better few cases15:55
njpatelTrevinho, okay, no worries, going to do a release tomorrow  afternoon anyway, so no rush15:56
njpatelTrevinho, thanks for taking a look dude15:56
Trevinhono problem... It has been "my" area so far :FD15:57
