[09:15] <Andy80> 'morning
[09:17] <Andy80> please tell me if this is a known Unity bug: very often (I just fought for 5 minutes to make it work) the Launcher bar doesn't show when it should... you keep moving the mouse on the left and it doesn't show. You have to show desktop (SUPER+D) a couple of times to make it appears. Then, when you want to hide it, it doesn't hide as expected.
[12:58] <mardy> Trevinho: hi, I'm trying to run Unity 2D with two monitors, in VirtualBox; but I get the panel in only one of them... did you ever meet this problem?
[13:18] <greyback> mardy: I got it once from not having the tops of the monitors in line
[13:19] <mardy> greyback: mmm... what do you mean by the tops being in line?
[13:20] <greyback> mardy: yep, I knew that was a bit vague. In System Settings ->Displays, do the tops of the two rectangles meet?
[13:21] <mardy> greyback: nope. Let me try...
[13:21] <mardy> greyback: OMG :-)
[13:21] <greyback> mardy: IMO it shouldn't make a difference, but I didn't have 2 physical monitors to test it
[13:22] <greyback> mardy: panel should always be on top, no matter how those monitors are aligned, no?
[13:24] <mardy> greyback: I would say so... weird! Anyway, the immediate problem is solved, thanks! I'll google a bit more, to see if it is a bug, and if so, I'll report it
[13:25] <greyback> mardy: Yeah it's strange. Glad I could help :)
[13:46] <mardy> greyback: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/735937
[13:50] <greyback> mardy: patch sitting there for months, what a pity
[15:50] <g0rs> hello,  animations aren't worrking in compiz even though i enabled them in ccsm. Can anybody suggest what to do ?
[16:07] <Trevinho> mardy: I don't think it's  a my problem
[16:07] <Trevinho> I mean... I don't changed how unity2d manages the panels
[16:07] <g0rs> Trevinho: hi
[16:07] <Trevinho> hi g0rs
[16:07] <g0rs> Trevinho: nimations aren't worrking in compiz even though i enabled them in ccsm. Can anybody suggest what to do ?
[16:08] <Trevinho> g0rs: ask to smspillaz when he comes back
[16:08] <g0rs> okay
[21:07] <dutchie> hi folks
[21:07] <dutchie> i'm trying to write an appindicator program in vala, but when i try to run it i get "Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported"
[21:08] <dutchie> (i'm on oneiric)
[21:09] <dutchie> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators#Vala_Example doesn't work also
[21:09] <dutchie> i'm compiling with --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg appindicator-0.1
[21:09] <dutchie> not really sure how to deal with this
[21:10] <dutchie> file a bug against libappindicator-dev? from my initial googles that would seem to be the problem
[21:11] <dutchie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/706993/ is the ldd output
[21:52] <cwillu> So, who knows lots about compiz + unityshell + whatever else might be involved?  I'm trying to work out why (at a I-can-fix-it-myself-given-a-pointer level) my window moves freeze up compiz for a moment right when I start, but only if the unityshell is running (disabling it in ccsm immediately fixes it, as well as making the moves silky smooth rather than the slightly jitter 10fps I get otherwise)?
[21:54] <cwillu> intel pineview (gm33, i915'ish), vsync makes no difference.  The mouse cursor still updates (which isn't surprising), but no windows update during the hiccup
[21:55] <cwillu> I can't seem to figure out where unityshell would be hooking into such a thing though
[21:55] <jbicha> dutchie: you should use libappindicator3-dev not 0.1
[22:02] <Trevinho> dutchie: really doesn't it work?
[22:03] <Trevinho> You only need valac --pkg appindicator3-0.1 --pkg gtk+-3.0 appindicator.vala
[22:03] <Trevinho> dutchie: actually the appindicator3-0.1 should have included the gtk in the deps...
[22:03] <Trevinho> I'm sorry for that
[22:05] <cwillu> oooo, you appear to have a passing familiarity with "source code"!
[22:05]  * cwillu pokes Trevinho with the unidentified parts from a unity repo
[22:16] <dutchie> Trevinho/jbicha: ah, ok thanks a lot, i'll try that
[22:17] <dutchie> excellent, that works with appindicator3-0.1
[22:18] <dutchie> thanks again :)
[22:20] <Trevinho> dutchie: basically you were linking against the gtk2 version... That wasn't working.
[22:20] <dutchie> makes sense
[22:20] <Trevinho> However in theory just valac --pkg appindicator3-0.1 file.vala
[22:20] <Trevinho> should work
[22:21] <dutchie> oh cool
[22:21] <Trevinho> but it seems that the appindicator package misses a .deps file to avoid to list manually the dependencies...
[23:28] <cwillu> enabling unityshell in ccsm makes _something_ really slow in compiz, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it's doing
[23:29]  * cwillu would appreciate a suspect
[23:57] <Trevinho> cwillu: iwth no unityshell, there's no unity at all...
[23:58] <cwillu> Trevinho, yes, but there's still every other plugin (move, decorate, etc)
