[11:52] <mandel> rye, morning :)
=== Guest32042 is now known as adorilson
[11:55] <rye> mandel, morning, we have a lot of s3 timeouts, so filesync is unstable
[11:58] <mandel> rye, yikes!
[11:59] <mandel> rye, atm I'm trying to set active directory to test some bug with the newest version for windows.. hopefully I'll clean some bugs
[12:02] <rye> mandel, do you happen to know how to build the windows installer thing from ubuntuone client sources?
[12:04] <mandel> rye, yes! and is crap
[12:05] <mandel> rye, at the moment we depend on a not merged branch from ralsina to do so.. and that has beena nnoying me for a long time.. I'll ping nessita so that we fix this situation asap
[12:05] <ralsina> mandel: I have not been able to do anything with that branch for a long time :-(
[12:06] <ralsina> mandel: I will try to finally clean it up and propose it in two weeks
[12:06] <mandel> ralsina, oh, you are here! we should get that fix asap.. is not a good thing :P
[12:06] <ralsina> mandel: In any case, the windows build also requires *other* crap, such as a hack around getting bad credentials for sign ups
[12:07] <mandel> ralsina, we need to fix those before we start doing crazy things with procies etc..
[12:07] <ralsina> mandel: having the build script in an unmerged branch changes nothing in the build process, AFIACS
[12:07] <mandel> ralsina, nevertheless atm I don't have the time (at least this week)
[12:07] <mandel> ralsina, it does not, but is ugly :)
[12:07] <ralsina> mandel: yes, that one is on nessita's plate
[12:08] <rye> ralsina, we found a bug
[12:08] <ralsina> mandel: it doesn't even make sense to have the build script be part of -installer, if you ask me ;-)
[12:08] <ralsina> rye: which one/
[12:09] <rye> ralsina, my awesomebar entry was left in windows... bug #883926
[12:09] <Guest29594> Launchpad bug 883926 in ubuntuone-client "[windows] Breaks on system directories My Music, My Videos dirs in ~\Documents folder on Win7 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/883926
[12:09] <ralsina> rye: I am pretty sure I synced those
[12:10] <ralsina> rye: in fact, is ~\Documents\My Music an actual folder? Or is it a library?
[12:11] <mandel> ralsina, that was exactly my questions, iand it turns out is a system folder..
[12:11] <ralsina> mandel: is that what we get from the special_folders function?
[12:12] <ralsina> if it is, then this is really bad
[12:12] <mandel> ralsina, good question, let me check
[12:13] <rye> ralsina, that dir is returned by listdir function, and it is actually a hidden system directory nobody has an access too
[12:13] <rye> to
[12:14] <ralsina> rye: listdir in windows returns all sorts of crap :-(
[12:14] <mandel> ralsina, for me it looks likea  bad bad problem with extra logic to be added to the LR or the fise system watcher on windows
[12:14] <mandel> ralsina, but it would be an issue only on Windows 7, which is major crap
[12:15] <ralsina> mandel: I am not sure I know what a "system folder" is in this context
[12:15] <ralsina> mandel: and why we can't sync it ;-)
[12:16] <rye> mandel, as I previously noted, Windows Live Sync / Mesh / whatever is ignoring all "system" file system objects, so maybe they knew something
[12:16] <rye> ralsina, if you have windows 7 around you can try going to Documents\My Music using explorer or cmd
[12:16] <rye> listdir will be denied on contents
[12:16] <mandel> rye, yes, I can add the code to check if the folder is a system folder, if it is, it will then be ignored, it does nto sound like a crazy thing to do
[12:16] <ralsina> rye: ok
[12:17] <rye> and I have no idea why they have these dirs there. Probably some sort of backward-compatibility
[12:17] <ralsina> the main problem here is: the user's music is there. What we would have to do is add library support
[12:17] <mandel> rye, ralsina adding the extra check for system folders is a good idea.. but I wonder what happens when you do have the library with data in it..
[12:17] <rye> ralsina, no, that \Documents\My Music folder is not library
[12:18] <mandel> ralsina, exactly what I was thinking, but there is an issue with that, libraries can be made out of paths outside ~
[12:18] <ralsina> mandel, rye: yes, it's a folder. It's one of the folders from which the Music library is composed
[12:18] <mandel> I'd love to remove the limitation of being under ~
[12:18] <mandel> ..
[12:18] <ralsina> mandel: so to actually fix this, we need to support folders outside ~ :-/
[12:20] <mandel> ralsina, to fix this we can ignore system folder, which does not seem to be a crazy idea.. to support libraries we need to be able to support paths outside ~
[12:20] <mandel> ralsina, for example, I added D:\Music as a source
[12:21] <ralsina> mandel: the thing is, then, we can't sync music!
[12:21] <rye> mandel, windows live sync also does not support libraries
[12:21] <rye> ralsina, ^
[12:21] <mandel> ralsina, also, users can change the location of the special folders to me outside, like when you have a diff partition for /home but windows users are not that advance
[12:21] <ralsina> rye: then where is it getting your music files, from?
[12:21] <mandel> rye, dropbox can't sync long paths and we can ;)
[12:22] <rye> ralsina, windows live sync prompts you to select a folder, not a library to sync. If one tries selecting a library, a message box appears telling the user to select something else
[12:22] <rye> ralsina, since libraries can be dynamically modified
[12:22] <ralsina> rye: ok, we are not even showing libraries, so that's the same
[12:23] <ralsina> rye: so, we'll ignore system folders. Can you find out where the music is stored phisically?
[12:23] <rye> ralsina, \Users\$USERNAME\Music
[12:24] <ralsina> mandel: could you see what we are getting from the special_folders?
[12:24] <ralsina> rye: is that offered in the setup?
[12:24] <mandel> ralsina, just launched the vm and checking atm
[12:24] <rye> ralsina, on clean installation of windows7 that's the default location
[12:25] <mandel> ralsina, C:\Users\Mandel\Music
[12:25] <rye> I suppose i can trash my vm now that I lost the access to the account... following the attempt to change password after setting something weird
[12:26] <ralsina> rye: snapshots FTW :-)
[12:27] <mandel> rye, ralsina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Documents
[12:27] <ralsina> rye: you can just remove the credentials and metadata and start fresh
[12:27] <mandel> ralsina, rye also: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449413(WS.10).aspx
[12:28] <ralsina> DeleteOnCopy? I don't like where this is going
[12:28] <mandel> ralsina, ein?
[12:28] <ralsina> mandel: the implementation details of libraries are a mess
[12:29] <rye> ralsina, too late for snapshots, disclosing my account password over IRC channel due to wrong window having the focus prompted for a fast action
[12:29] <ralsina> mandel: which is why I suppose even MS doesn't sync them
[12:29] <ralsina> rye: hahaha
[12:29] <ralsina> rye: happened to all of us one time or another :-)
[12:29] <mandel> ralsina, yes.. and the problem is this: "Windows 7 has four default Libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos"
[12:30] <rye> one can add moar libraries, which can even be on a removable storage!
[12:30] <mandel> ralsina, so, at the moment we let the user sync the default defaul save location, which is C:\User\user\Music
[12:30] <rye> i mean their target folders
[12:30] <mandel> rye, exactly, that is why I was worried about the ~ limitation.. it could really f*ck us up
[12:30] <ralsina> mandel: yes, but the api call we are doing now will give us by default the user's component of each. If the user is sophisticated enough to move his library off, he's out of target right now :-(
[12:31] <mandel> ralsina, exactly, I have that problem with vmware atm, it moves them to the host machine documents folder (in mac os x)
[12:31] <ralsina> mandel: I think that if the user has changed the library path, we will offer to sync that new path. If it's outside his home... well, it won't work.
[12:31] <mandel> ralsina, so, we need to either not support libraries, or do it right, but it they have removable storage..
[12:32] <ralsina> we will not support libraries
[12:32] <mandel> \o/
[12:32] <ralsina> but we should think harder about syncing outside ~. I have talked about it with lucio
[12:32] <mandel> ralsina, then.. do libraries show in the QFileDialog?
[12:32] <ralsina> mandel: no they don't because we are not using the native qfiledialog just for that :-)
[12:33] <ralsina> mandel: on the next Qt we may be able to switch to native dialog which will not let the user select a library
[12:35] <mandel> ralsina, ok.. so a user cannot try to have a UDF point to a library, which is good
[12:36] <ralsina> mandel: well.... he can if he creates it from linux, I think
[12:36] <ralsina> mandel: I wonder what happens if you try that
[12:38] <mandel> ralsina, jesus.. libraries are going to be a problem.. i suppose that we would sync the default save location of the library, which vever is that one
[12:38] <ralsina> mandel: that's what we do, I think
[12:39] <mandel> ralsina, I can confirm that the default_folder() from the instaler returns the default save location set by the user, I just tested it
[12:39] <ralsina> mandel: or rather, we sync folders. Figuring out what folder is the user's job.
[12:39] <ralsina> mandel: good!
[12:39] <mandel> ralsina, so the user can point to an external hd for example :(

[12:42] <gatox> jejej
[12:43] <ralsina> mandel: could you (when you have 15 minutes) try to see what happens if you create from Linux a UDF where the target path matches a library on windows/
[12:43] <ralsina> ?
[12:44] <mandel> ralsina, yes, and I have 15 mins.. I'm setting up the windows server, so I have plenty of time til is done :P

[21:10] <nessita> facundobatista: not sure what you ask.... in the log, you mean?
[21:10] <facundobatista> nessita, yeap, in server rescan, where it gets the generation of each volume from the server and compares with local one
[21:11] <nessita> looking...
[21:11] <nessita> facundobatista: generation for root is 35663
