[12:07] <nessita> hello everyone! I have a quick question re: using alt+F2. That will open the dash for searching, but when I enter programs I know I have installed, I get no results. Any idea if this is expected behavior?
[12:09] <om26er> nessita, are you typing the fullname of the app ?
[12:10] <om26er> if you are searching for empathy for example... type empath and you might get results
[12:10] <nessita> om26er: I tried both ways, I start typing the name of the app, I wait a couple of seconds, no results, then I type the full name, no results
[12:11] <nessita> om26er: it happened to me with pidgin, deluge so far
[12:11] <nessita> om26er: this always happened as soon as I logged in, when I'm starting "all my apps" to setup my desktop
[12:12] <nessita> om26er: now that everything booted, the search is working fine
[12:15] <nessita> om26er: shall I report a bug?
[12:16] <om26er> nessita, if it happens on next login or after installing an other app then yes please report a bug for unity
[12:16] <om26er> use 'ubuntu-bug unity' to report Unity bug please.
[12:19] <nessita> om26er: ack, thanks.
[12:24] <nessita> another question, is there any workaround for this bug under unity 2d? https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/726639
[12:31] <nessita> and also, is there any way to move a window to another workspace (under unity 2d)?
[12:32] <om26er> right click on the titlebar thing, not sure for maximized windows though
[12:37] <nessita> om26er: ah, I tried that with the windows maximized, trying without
[12:37] <nessita> om26er: great, that worked. Thanks!
[12:37] <om26er> nessita, yw :)
[12:56] <mhall119> morning
[12:58] <mhall119> nessita: alt+f2 is the "run dialog", it's not entirely equivilent to the Apps lens (which is super+a)
[12:58] <nessita> mhall119: exactly, so I would expect alt+f2 to behave like the old run dialog
[12:58] <mhall119> nessita: you can also move windows between workspaces by pressing super+s and dragging them
[12:59] <nessita> mhall119: and even if I type the full name of the app and then I hit enter, nothing happens
[12:59] <mhall119> nessita: that does sound like a bug then
[13:00] <mhall119> nessita: are you sure you are using a part of the executable's name?
[13:00] <mhall119> IIRC, alt+f2 only uses that, not anything defined in the app's .desktop file
[13:00] <nessita> mhall119: absolutely. My use case is "pidgin" and "deluge-gtk"
[13:00] <mhall119> ok
[13:00] <nessita> mhall119: this is unity 2d, fyi
[13:01] <nessita> mhall119: would you know if there is any workaround for this bug under unity 2d? https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/726639
[13:01] <nessita> is very annoying, specially since I depend on the F10 in the terminal to work
[13:02] <nessita> editing the entry with gconf-editor did not work, unless I need to log out and in to that to take effect
[13:27] <nessita> mhall119: FYI, when pressing super+s, drag will not work (this is unity 2d). Is that expected?
[13:29] <mhall119> I'm not sure about 2d, it works in 3d
[13:30] <nessita> mhall119: thanks. Would you know aboyt the F10 bug I pasted above? or would you know who I can ask?
[13:30] <nessita> (rebooting did not make the gconf-editor setting be applied, apparently)
[13:31] <mhall119> no on both accounts, unfortunately
[13:33] <nessita> mhall119: thanks anyways :-)

[14:03] <andyrock> one bug less cool
[15:15] <mhall119> nessita: did you see http://askubuntu.com/questions/92487/alt-f2-launcher-does-not-work-first-time-after-boot-second-time-works
[15:19] <nessita> mhall119: I haven't, looking now
[15:32] <nessita> mhall119: the description matches my issue
[15:33] <nessita> mhall119: is like the "indexer" needs some time (more than a few seconds) to be ready to do something
[17:04] <jono> DBO, yo
[17:04] <DBO> yo
[17:04] <jono> DBO, happy new year, bro!
[17:04] <DBO> happy new year jono
[17:04] <DBO> any resolutions this year?
[17:05] <jono> get fit and learn to cook brisket :-)
[17:05] <jono> you?
[17:05] <DBO> not really :)
[17:06] <jono> :-)
[17:06] <jono> so I have a gift for yoyu
[17:06] <jono> a bug :-)
[17:06] <DBO> oh god
[17:06] <DBO> well it had to happen eventually
[17:06] <jono> in 12.04 there are a bunch of multiple icons for apps on the Launcher
[17:06] <jono> heh
[17:06] <jono> I am noticing XChat-GNOME in particular
[17:06]  * DBO marks the time... 3 hours into the new work season...
[17:06] <jono> it has three icons
[17:06] <jono> haha
[17:06] <jono> DBO, all will be good :-)
[17:06] <DBO> can I see a screenshot?
[17:07] <jono> sure one sec
[17:07] <DBO> so I got some awesome headphones
[17:07] <DBO> as an audio junkie, I figure you will appreciate this
[17:07] <DBO> http://www.klipsch.com/klipsch-mode-noise-canceling-headphones
[17:08] <DBO> I have accepted I will need a hearing aid after owning these...
[17:08] <jono> DBO, http://i.imgur.com/qhGbb.png
[17:08] <jono> DBO, nice phones!
[17:08] <DBO> interesting
[17:08] <DBO> is xchat pinned to the launcher
[17:11] <jono> yep XChat and Chromium are Added to the launcher
[17:11] <DBO> I wonder if bamfdaemon is crashing on your system somehow
[17:11] <DBO> do the multiples seem to show up randomly?
[18:27] <AlanBell> i
[18:27] <AlanBell> oops, sorry
[18:30] <mhall119> davidcalle_: ping
[19:51] <statik> mhall119, i love what you have done with singlet. i've got a little lens working, do you know how I can set some results to be shown before any search is done?
[19:51] <statik> for example, in the music lens some items are shown even before typing a search phrase
[20:01] <mhall119> statik: not with Singlet
[20:01] <mhall119> not right now anyway
[20:01] <mhall119> it only calls search() when something's been entered
[20:01] <mhall119> using straight dbus you can when the lens is activated
[20:03] <mhall119> I can add that fairly easily though
[20:04] <statik> mhall119, here? self._scope.connect ("notify::active", self.on_search_changed);
[20:04] <mhall119> statik: on_search_changed will be called, yes
[20:04] <statik> so maybe connecting that to another optional method that people can implement?
[20:04] <mhall119> singlet intercepts that and only calls search if there's a non-None, non-empty string value
[20:05] <mhall119> statik: I'm adding a Meta option to allow it
[20:05] <statik> mhall119, sweet
[20:06] <statik> mhall119, so then I'll be able to set an attribute in my inner Meta class and my search will be called always, and if the search term is empty I can populate my default results
[20:14] <mhall119> correct
[20:15] <statik> mhall119, awesome. let me know and I'm happy to test :)
[20:19] <mhall119> statik: rev 11
[20:19] <mhall119> put search_on_blank=True in your Meta
[20:21] <statik> ta, pulling and testing now
[20:23] <statik> mhall119, should I be pulling from lp:~mhall/singlet/trunk instead of lp:~singlet-developers/singlet/trunk ?
[20:24] <mhall119> oops, you should be pulling from lp:singlet, which is singlet-developers now, I just forgot to tell bzr to --remember the new push location
[20:24] <mhall119> it's there now
[20:25] <mhall119> davidcalle: ping me when you've got a few minutese
[20:28] <davidcalle> mhall119, ping
[20:34] <mhall119> davidcalle: hey
[20:35] <mhall119> davidcalle: I'd like to spend some time with you to discuss the direction of ohscopes and singlet
[20:35] <mhall119> specifically around getting them packaged and into the repos for 12.04
[20:38] <mick0> davidcalle: I have some questions about the imdb scope I just got working. Ping me when you got some time.
[20:39] <davidcalle> mhall119, nice discussion idea ;) But this will have to wait until my burritos are cooked and eaten. Will you be around in one hour?
[20:40] <mgedmin> every now and then I right-click on a launcher icon, get a menu, which then proceeds to ignore mouse events
[20:40] <davidcalle> mick0, sure. When I'm back. ;)
[20:40] <mgedmin> right-clicking the same icon again makes the menu disappear, right-clicking for the third time usually gives me a normal menu that actually lets me select items
[20:40] <mgedmin> no clue how to reproduce this reliably
[20:40] <mgedmin> worth filing a bug anyway?
[20:41] <mhall119> davidcalle: yeah, I'll be around until 2200 UTC
[20:41] <mhall119> mgedmin: yes, if nobody else has reported it
[21:04]  * mgedmin files https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/911452
[21:40] <mgedmin> I've a question about app indicators
[21:40] <mgedmin> app_indicator_set_label() has this label argument
[21:40] <mgedmin> sorry! 'guide'
[21:40] <mgedmin> "A guide to size the label correctly." according to http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ubuntu-11.10/c/appindicator/libappindicator-app-indicator.html#app-indicator-set-label
[21:40] <mgedmin> how is it supposed to be used?
[21:42] <mgedmin> here's my attempt: https://github.com/mgedmin/indicator-netspeed/blob/master/indicator-netspeed.c#L94
[21:42] <mgedmin> but the indicator changes size constantly and makes the rest of the indicators jump around in a very irritating fashion
[21:49]  * mgedmin wishes libindicator APIs had Unix manual pages...
