didrocksgood morning07:03
pittihey didrocks, good morning07:04
didrocksgood morning pitti, how are you?07:04
GunnarHjpitti: Good morning, Martin!07:05
GunnarHjpitti: Maybe you know already, bug there are quite a few fresh duplicates of bug 843430 (which for some reason is private). The issue may be related to the the package stuff you worked with for l-s 0.62.07:05
pittihey GunnarHj07:06
pittididrocks: bit tired, but quite fine07:06
BigWhaleoffice time ...07:06
didrockspitti: you didn't sleep well,07:06
didrocks?07:06
pittiyes, kept waking up for some reason07:07
didrocksargh :/07:07
pittiGunnarHj: hm, I didn't actually change any existing code, but I can have a look nevertheless07:08
GunnarHjpitti: Great! I just had a close look, and haven't spotted what's causing it.07:10
GunnarHjs/close/quick/  (I'm tired too)07:10
pittiGunnarHj: oh, that bug is already from last september07:11
GunnarHjpitti: Yeah, but were there a lot of duplicates before recently?07:12
GunnarHj(I can't access the bug.)07:13
pittiGunnarHj: I think that might happen if one of the trigger packages in pkg_depends is suddenly gone AWOL07:13
pittibroken apt cache, or what not07:13
GunnarHjpitti: Ok.07:15
GunnarHjpitti: So you think it's only special cases?07:15
pittistill, should be a trivial fix to just ignore the missing package07:16
GunnarHjpitti: Is it something you can add to your list? So far I have kind of avoided the langpack side of l-s...07:18
pittiGunnarHj: yes, no problem07:23
GunnarHjpitti: Ok, great!07:32
* didrocks tries to reboot and hope to get a working nvidia driver :)08:09

pittihey didrocks, welcome back! that took longer than expected08:34
rickspencer3hey didrocks08:34
pittirickspencer3: hm, that failure might be from new apt :(08:34
didrockspitti: hey, I had to go over my other box to rebuild the package08:34
didrockspitti: interestingly, despite having session=ubuntu in my .dmrc, lightdm now insists on starting the gnome-shell session08:34
didrocksnot sure where lightdm is picking that up, and why *now*08:35
didrocksnothing in /var/lib/lightdm/08:36
pittihm, I'm not 100% sure08:36

didrocksI bet the unity package with the wrapper didn't downgraded08:39
didrocksok, all look good then :)08:39
didrocksI will need to fake having a higer version from the staging ppa I guess as most of people who will try unity 5.2 RC are the one who tried the hud I guess08:40
didrocksok, downgraded unity, restarting on the right session08:42

pittiooh, alioth is back08:44
chrisccoulsonhi pitti, how are you?08:44
pittibit tired today, but fine otherwise08:44
pittitkamppeter: I merged the cups/cups-filters diversions, and pushed; now alioth's bzr has the definitive branches again08:47
chrisccoulsonhmmm, are we keeping the theme broken for alpha 2?08:49
pittibroken how?08:49
pittiit's not supposed to be broken08:50
pittirickspencer3 would have started an insurrection on that :)08:50
pitti(and quite rightly so)08:50
tkamppeterpitti, OK, thanks.08:51
chrisccoulsonpitti - have you seen the breadcrumb in nautilus, or the toolbar in evince when you have a document open?08:52
rickspencer3hi pitti08:52
chrisccoulsonit's visibly quite broken, and has been for a while now ;)08:52

chrisccoulsonheh08:53
pittichrisccoulson: you mean the arrows look weird?08:53
pittievince toolbar looks alright here08:54
chrisccoulsonpitti - the buttons are the wrong colour and the text is barely readable in nautilus08:54
chrisccoulsoni wonder if it's already fixed and i just haven't updated yet ;)08:54
pittichrisccoulson: http://imagebin.org/19649008:55

pittias I said, the arrow is a little weird08:56
chrisccoulsonpitti - oh, you're using radiance :)08:56
chrisccoulsonit's pretty hideous with the ambiance theme08:56
pittioh, right08:56
pittiI keep forgetting that there are people using dark themes08:56
chrisccoulsonpitti - http://imagebin.org/19649108:57

seb128pitti, btw desrt played with udisk2 from the ppa yesterday and said it was working fine for him10:02
seb128ricotz, ca va bien merci ;-)10:02
ricotzseb128, good, i might give it a try then10:02
ricotzseb128, looks like there is nothing blocking nautilus while having gvfs already updated10:04
tjaaltonseb128: I'll keep moving parts to a minimum the next few days, testing other stuff :)10:04
seb128ricotz, right, I'm meant to review jbicha's update, he's having some issues with the unity desktop menu patch it seems10:04
ricotzi see, it looks normal here with g-s10:05
tjaaltonoh btw, totem needs to drop the build-dep on libmusicbrainz4-dev, the functionality got dropped in 1.3.0.. (and wouldn't work anyway)10:05

seb128tjaalton, get, commit, push, how hard is it ;-)10:10
* pitti finally preps the meeting page and reminder10:10
seb128pitti, btw the GNOME guys rolled new glib,gtk, but I guess better to delay to after a2 now?10:11
pittiseb128: yes, I think so; but we can already prep it in bzr, and upload to our PPA?10:11
seb128pitti, yeah, I will do that10:11
pittimigth be good to give it a day or two of testing anyway10:12
seb128pitti, right, especially that they did change to the format and parser of the gmenu stuff10:14

pittiricotz: you need gvfs from trunk, or the latest gnome-disk-utility to make it do anything10:25
ricotzpitti, yes, with gdu10:27
pittiricotz: desrt says that it starts up fine, but launching jobs is broken when it's dbus activated10:27
pittiit does set $PATH at start, though, haven't looked what's wrong yet10:28
ricotzalright, thanks for the heads up10:29
tjaaltonseb128: ha, got it. pushing totem to precise now..10:44
seb128tjaalton, thanks10:45
tjaaltonalso, I've packaged libmusicbrainz 4.0.0, and there's support for it in sound-juicer git (dunno if they cut a release). I'd love to have support for the MB XML/2 API in precise, but is anyone really looking after sound-juicer or am I free to work on it?10:46

Ursinhapitti, so, you said that it would be easy to find the task a package is part of13:46
Ursinhapitti, I couldn't figure out how to do that, do you mind giving me a light? :)13:46
pittiUrsinha: hey13:47
pittiah13:47
pittiUrsinha: you mean if a package is part of the ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu/etc. default install?13:47
Ursinhapitti, yes13:48
pittiUrsinha: the one I know is "apt-cache show gedit"13:48
pittithat e. g. says13:48
pittiTask: ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-usb, edubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-usb, ubuntustudio-desktop13:48
UrsinhaI was messing around with seeds and tasks yesterday to find a way to do that programatically13:48
pittii. e. it's part of ubuntu/edubuntu/studio default install, but e. g. not Kubuntu13:48
Ursinhaah, I thought you mean programatically13:48
pittiUrsinha: that is "programatically", isn't it?13:49
pittiUrsinha: you can also have a list of packages which are on a particular flavour's default install13:49
Ursinhapitti, hehe, you're right, I meant a way of getting it using launchpad or something13:49
pittie. g. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/precise-desktop-i386.manifest13:49
Ursinhapitti, there are the seeds as well13:49

Ursinhapitti, like this: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.precise/desktop13:50
Ursinhagerminate output, that is13:50
pittiUrsinha: there is a desktop.depends output, too, which should have the dependencies13:52
pittiUrsinha: perhaps it's better if you can tell me the acutal question you'd like to solve?13:52
Ursinhapitti, finding the important packages for desktop/server/name it13:53
Ursinhapitti, I'm asking you only because you mentioned that was easy, and I thought it might be related to launchpad in some way13:53
pittiUrsinha: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.precise/desktop.depends is a fairly good list for desktop13:53

didrocksmanish: no hurry! yeah, I'm workaround it in the package for now :)14:32
manishso won't be able to merge what you send for next 2 days, in which case you need to ping seiflotfy for it14:32
didrocksmanish: will send your way a merge proposal when I've time to look at what's wrong :)14:32

mterrystgraber, heyo.  unity-greeter trunk uses gsettings14:45
stgrabermterry: yeah!14:46
stgrabermterry: let me know before it lands so I schedule some time to update edubuntu-artwork to use gsettings instead of our ugly hack ;)14:46
xclaesseseb128, I was wondering, is there any rational why .la files are still shipped into packages?14:46
seb128they are not14:47
mterrystgraber, OK, don't know exactly when it will land though.  robert-ancell will probably push that in14:47
seb128or they are progressively being dropped but transitioning takes a bit of time14:47
xclaesseseb128, ah ok14:47
xclaessethanks14:47
mterrystgraber, it wouldn't hurt to update edubuntu-artwork ahead of time.14:47
mterry(and have it do both until unity-greeter 0.2.1 is released)14:48
seb128mterry, hey14:53
mterryseb128, hello!14:53
seb128mterry, I think you should email robert_ancell and tell him you can handle the unity-greeter release and want to do one14:53
seb128mterry, he's soon going to be off for some time so maybe it's better if he hands that to you before being away14:54
mterryAh, OK14:54

pittiakgraner: hello, welcome to u-desktop!15:03
akgranerhey!15:03
didrockshey akgraner :)15:03
pittididrocks, akgraner: so, I wondered about the tools we used to test the last unity round, and whether they need some more promotion15:03
akgranerhey didrocks  :-)15:03
pittialong the currently outstanding work item15:04
pittiif that's obsolete, I'm happy to just drop it, as I understand our QA team will do some announcement soon15:04
didrocksyeah, first, akgraner, are you familar with this testing tool? (I blogged about it for the unity 5.0 RC on planet ubuntu)15:04
akgranerI know at UDS we talked about leveraging more community testing of Unity15:04
didrocksit's basically a followup on the UDS session we had15:04
didrocksright15:04
akgranerI saw the blog post..yes15:05
didrockssince, I experimented with the french community a first round for unity 5.015:05
didrocksand then published the results15:05
didrockswe are about doing the same in unity 5.2 (just sent an email, you in CC about it)15:05
akgranerthat looked like it went well15:05
didrocksyeah, we of course refined some tests wording15:05
didrocksand made some changes to checkbox15:06
didrocksbasically, we are wrapping around checkbox15:06
akgranergotcha - how many more testers would you like to have (realistically)15:06
didrocksakgraner: there are two things in fact15:06
pittiah, so we have checkbox plugisn for that?15:06
pitti(in a PPA, I presume)15:07
didrocks- testers, I think that in 2/3 days of testing, 100 people is enough (I see that is easy to achieve at first, but will be more and more difficult with repeating this at each unity release)15:07
akgranerdidrocks, since you are wrapping it around checkbox doesit overlap with ubuntu friendly testing at all?15:07
didrockspitti: we have a checkbox-unity wrapper, basically a plugin with other tests15:07
didrockspitti: and we have a fork of checkbox until the fixes goes into the distro (but reviewing seems to take time)15:08
akgraners/doesit/does it15:08
didrocksakgraner: no, apart from the patch in the checkbox copy we have, but we try to not make breaking the system checkbox15:08
didrocksso it should be fine for them15:08
didrocksthe ppa containing this checkbox and checkbox-unity is the ppa we are making unity testable:  https://launchpad.net/~unity-team/+archive/ppa15:09
akgranerperfect15:09
didrocksI just uploaded the version with the new "RC tag", so people using that ppa will see at next login "a new Unity RC is available, can you please…" and the icon is added to the launcher15:10
akgranerso how does this sound  - I'll install the the ppa and run through the test, then I'll tell people how they can do it - then I'll send my post to you to see if any additional details need to be added15:10
didrocksso, testers needed (and nicholas, the new qa responsible for the community team, will handle the call)15:10
akgranerif not I'll post to the fridge and then cross post in other places15:10
didrocksakgraner: that would be awesome, the more testers to ensure everything is fine, the better :)15:11
didrocksakgraner: maybe coordinate wiht nicholas?15:11
didrocksas jono told me he should handle that15:11
akgranerI'll touch base with him today then :-)15:11
didrocksexcellent!15:11
didrocksI think getting testers today isn't an issue15:11
didrocksI think that the 6th time we will have a call for testing, it will become way more difficult15:11
didrocks(it's kind of boring ;))15:12
pittiit certainly sounds like a rotational kind of thing15:12
didrocksyeah, I hope it will be healthy enough so that we always have newcomers15:12
akgranerI think just letting people know how to test is key...walk them through it etc.  But I'll help you get it promoted :-)15:12
pittibut making the tools more widely known and documented should make it easier for everyone to help out15:12
didrocksakgraner: nice, thanks a lot :)15:13
didrocksanother issue that will come with time and that we need to think is how to maintain the tests15:13
didrocksand make them updating for the new incoming RC15:13
didrocks(took me quite some time only with the new features for 5.2)15:13
didrocksnot sure how we can make the whole community participate to that effort15:14
akgranerwe can't make them but I bet we can encourage them and make sure the tools are easily accessible and understand at all levels.  I'll be sure to let you know if I run into any pain points as I go through the process15:15
didrocksakgraner: sounds excellent :) (I meant "make them able to participate" but it's like in french, seems I'm eating words :))15:16
akgranerdidrocks, no worries :-)15:16
didrocksok, do not hesitate to ping me if everything go wrong (read the email I sent at your @ubuntu.com about the hud ppa, it's the only "issue" you can get if you upgrade to this ppa AFAIK)15:17
akgranerI will  - thank you!15:17
didrocksthanks to you :)15:18
akgranermore soon then15:18
pittiakgraner, didrocks: thanks!15:18
didrocksthanks pitti for setting this up :)15:18
pitti(sorry, I'm rather useless in that discussion)15:18
didrockswaow, omgubuntu already notice I just copied unity from staging to the unity-team/ppa15:18
akgranerpitti, thanks for tracking the blueprint :-) it's nice to get things done now than the week beofre UDS15:18
mterrystgraber, OK, since robert-ancell's about to take some time off, I may end up pushing a new unity-greeter a little after A215:20
stgrabermterry: ok15:23
mterrystgraber, I can give you another heads up before I actually do it15:23
stgrabermterry: that'd be great. Ideally I'll have uploaded the new edubuntu-artwork by then.15:24
desrtsmspillaz: hey15:44
desrtsmspillaz: do you have that gsettings keybinding compiz patch kicking around?15:44

mterrydidrocks, oh, omer did for me16:31

* pitti dist-upgrades to unity PPA and holds breath16:39
desrtpitti: no worries16:39
desrtpitti: i don't usually use my jhbuild version of palimpist to repartition my disk, so i'm not blocked :)16:40
pittidesrt: I had a quick look, and it's not immediately obvious what's wrong; I tried some stuff with udisksctl, and that seemed to work16:42
desrtpitti: could you reproduce the issue as i stated?16:43
desrtie: works fine when you run as root, but not from the activation environment?16:43
pittidesrt: haven't tried with palimsest, only with udisksctl16:43
pittiand for mounting etc. it works fine16:44
desrthum16:44
jbichagnome-disk-utility is in the gnome3 ppa, just in case you didn't see it16:44

desrtya16:44
desrtmy first guess was PATH was wrong or something16:44
desrtbut it seems fine16:44
pittiright16:44
desrtso my other guess is some other environment variable or apparmor is causing trouble16:44

cyphermoxwtf16:58
cyphermoxoh, right, upstream bug :)16:59
didrocksdesrt: hum, I'm wondering, there is really no way to get the default value for a gsettings key? (dconf-editor is scanning the schemas for that IIRC))16:59
pittidesrt: that is, it does seem to be in Gio, I just seem to search for the wrong things in devhelp17:00
GunnarHjpitti: As regards other instances of calling shell scripts as root, they either don't write to disk or (in the case of del-profile-env-settings) delete carefully specified lines. Is there still a reason do drop privileges in those cases?17:00
desrtpitti: it does17:00
desrtpitti: you want GFileMonitor17:00
pittiGunnarHj: yes, as shell scripts are inherently brittle and susceptible to symlink attacks and what not17:01
desrtwhich you create with a call to g_file_monitor()17:01
pittiGunnarHj: in general, if you don't need to run them as root, they shouldn't17:01
pittidesrt: aah, monitor; thanks!17:01
desrtor g_file_monitor_directory() more likely17:01
desrtdidrocks: there is a well-known dirty trick17:01
desrtdidrocks: a) create a GSettings object17:01
pittidesrt: cheers17:01
desrtb) g_settings_delay()17:01
desrtc) g_settings_reset()17:01
didrocksoh and revert :)17:01
desrtd) g_settings_get()17:01
didrocksyeah17:01
didrockshum :)17:01
desrt'default' is a complicated idea17:02
didrocksdidn't though about the delay17:02
desrtwhich is why it is not exposed17:02
desrtthere's the default per the schema17:02
GunnarHjpitti: Ok, I'll chage it as you suggested then.17:02
desrtbut that's not neccessarily what the user would see as the default17:02
desrtbecause the sysadmin may have some site defaults in effect17:02
didrocksyeah, with the different level of override17:02
didrocksbut _reset() know about it, isn't it?17:02
desrtyes17:03
desrtthe gsettingsbackend has a concept of defaults17:03
desrtso when you reset() in a delayed gsettings backend, that's what is happening17:03
pittiGunnarHj: thanks17:03
desrti should probably just expose that as a proper API17:03
desrtthere are other reasons i have been resisting it, though17:03
didrocksdesrt: which ones?17:04
didrocksdesrt: yeah, I meant "you already know it with _reset()"17:04
desrtso take translated default values, for example17:04
desrtsometimes the translator makes a mistake17:04
desrtand the translated value is useless17:04
desrtso you have to fall back on the untranslated value17:04
desrtthere are all of these different levels of 'defaults'17:04
desrtthat's what g_settings_get_mapped() is doing17:05
=== nessita1 is now known as nessita
didrocksoh, interesting17:06
desrtthe reason i've resisted a get_default() API before now is because all of the people who thought that they wanted one really just wanted get_mapped()17:06
desrtin any case, i think i may not add get_default() but rather is_default()17:08
desrtthat's the actual interesting question, in my opinion17:08
seb128desrt, sometime you do want to know the default though17:08
desrtseb128: like when?17:08
didrocksdesrt: look at https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1ILTJDiDCd25Npt2AmgzF8aOnZZECxTfM0hvsbWT2BxA/edit?hl=en_US17:09
didrockssection 2.217:09
didrockswe show the theme17:09
didrocksand add "(default)" next to the default one17:09
seb128desrt, what didrocks is showing, indicate the default value in a combo, or the default position on a slider17:09
desrthum17:11
desrti think that's a bad UI, actually17:11
desrthere's why:17:12
seb128desrt, dunno why but I knew you were going to say that :p17:12
desrtif the user clicks on that choice, or moves the slider to that position, then it's unclear what their intent is17:12
didrocksseb128: you know him too well!17:12
desrtis their intent that they want that specific choice17:12
desrtor is their intent that they want to use the default value, whatever it may be?17:12
desrtimagine you are in a workplace where the default wallpaper is changed once per month and this question becomes quite important17:13
dobeydesrt: or set that to be the default value17:13
desrtso in all cases i'd expect to see instead the ability to select your own choice or have a separate 'reset to default' option17:13
seb128desrt, well you can have both, an indication of the default value and the reset button17:13
seb128desrt, I disagree that there is no valid case to want to hint what the default is17:14
desrtright17:14
seb128desrt, even if the specific design might not be good17:14
desrti'll agree that the hint is actually nice17:14
dobeyooh, it was renamed back to Appearance. yay.17:15
desrtbut there's nothing preventing that from being supposed with is_default()17:15
desrt*supported17:15
seb128desrt, well it forces you to iterate through all possible values17:15
seb128it's just extra work17:15
desrtwhich you are doing anyway...17:15
seb128not for the slider17:15
desrtah.  true!17:15
desrthum17:15
desrttime to think about it, then :)17:15
seb128;-)17:16
desrtsee.. the problem is17:16
desrti add an API like this17:16
desrtand then your designers come along with designs like these17:16
desrtand there's no problem.  everything works17:16
desrtmy API has allowed (perhaps even encouraged) you to implement an anti-pattern17:17
desrtand i warn against it in the docs17:17
desrtbut nobody reads those :)17:17
seb128-those17:17
seb128:p17:17
desrtg_settings_I_PROMISE_I_READ_THE_DOCS_FIRST_get_default()17:18
desrti like it...17:18
pittidesrt: no17:18
pittidesrt: g_settings_<eleven digit prime number you see in the second-last doc paragraph>_get_default()17:19
desrtpitti: trouble is that the function name gets put in the docs summary17:19
desrtwe rather need g_settings_get_default (int magic_num, ...)17:19
desrtand have the magic num in the second last paragraph :)17:19
mterrydesrt, copy and paste will get around that17:20
desrtya.  was just thinking that.17:20
didrocksagreed, like autotools :)17:20
desrtwe have to have an algorithm that determines the magic number from your key and schema name17:21
desrtso it's a different one each time17:21
desrtwe can describe it in the docs17:21
mterrydesrt, have the developer do a captcha17:21

seb128you can't get a credible platform and do that sort of things to app developers18:49

seb128desrt, well from an ubuntu perspective it's not high priority, i.e I'm tracking it but I don't want it to show on release team lists, etc18:55
desrtthe gschemas one is actually much lower priority, in my opinion18:55

chrisccoulsoni'm updating unity from the PPA. wish me luck! :-)19:01
dobeychrisccoulson: well, your video drivers will probably continue to work, so no real issues. unlike for me, when i updated from the archive. i guess the kernel ABI breakage causes the nvidia drivers to break. at least i think it's that, rather than X, though i'm holding back xserver-xorg-core right now as well because of it :-/19:08

ricotzdesrt, yeah, didnt thought so ;)19:53
desrtso the issue that i raised is that we should probably come up with that answer :)19:53
seb128desrt, well, I can understand mvo when he complains that gtk is just bad for app developer in non C19:54
seb128desrt, the gtk3 binding story is nowhere stable or credible for "normal" app developers out there19:54
desrtseb128: gobject-introspection has been a real mixed bad19:54
desrt*bag19:54
seb128desrt, nobody to blame but things are just still buggy, not documented well and keep changin19:55
seb128g19:55
seb128desrt, which is a pretty bad experience if you want to write a small application and distribute it19:55
mvoseb128: or write a bigger application …20:03
seb128mvo, yeah, -small I guess20:03
mvoI understand what you mean, just tried to be funny20:03
seb128mvo, ;-)20:03

ricotzseb128, do you if Cimi came up with a solution?20:14
seb128rk20:15
seb128ricotz, <pbor> seb128: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/commit/?id=c56984c0f16d40da119bde328bd57a56a819c7ba was committed at the same time20:15
seb128ricotz, seems like the same thing should be applied to light-themes20:16
seb128dunno if Cimi did it yet20:16
seb128but should be trivial20:16
ricotzseb128, ah, i see, this is only one part20:16
seb128ricotz, what else is broken?20:16
ricotzthe other padding part is needed too20:16
seb128ok20:16
ricotzhttp://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/commit/?id=c9bb6abfde5c5b7dd3b8dfa70739eb2e9827e8ca20:16
seb128well I'm sure Cimi will deal with it, I will make sure it's fixed when we land gtk20:17
seb128but that's going to be after the alpha2 freeze20:17
ricotzalright20:17
seb128the new glib,gtk are in the ubuntu-desktop ppa until then20:17

desrtrobert_ancell: is it normal that the gears icon is missing from the unity greater at first?22:17
desrtthe one that opens the session menu...22:17
robert_ancelldesrt, no, https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/91865722:18
ubot2`Launchpad bug 918657 in unity-greeter "unity-greeter_0.2.0-0ubuntu2 breaks desktop-selector" [High,Fix committed]22:18
robert_ancellwell, perhaps yes then22:18
desrtchrisccoulson: weird firefox bug if you're still around22:18
robert_ancellbut not intended22:18
desrtrobert_ancell: :)22:18
chrisccoulsondesrt, my head is about to explode with another weird bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=716036) ;)22:18
desrtchrisccoulson: no matter what i do (including rebooting my machine) firefox tells me that it's running22:19
ubot2`Mozilla bug 716036 in Layout "css z-ordering renders invisible text on google search page" [Normal,Unconfirmed: ]22:19
chrisccoulsondesrt, and there really is no process running?22:19
desrt"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."22:19
desrtyes.  i was quite certain to begin with22:19
desrtbut now that i've rebooted i'm really really really certain22:19
chrisccoulsondesrt, your home folder isn't on some weird mount is it?22:19
desrti have a separate /home if that's what you mean22:19
chrisccoulsonthat's ok :)22:20
desrtfwiw, i was just mucking around in ~/.mozilla22:20
chrisccoulsondesrt, and the permissions on ~/.mozilla/firefox are ok?22:20
desrtya22:20
desrti erased my profile22:20
desrtoh.  there we go.22:20
desrthuh.22:20
desrtso if the profile directory doesn't exist it causes firefox to believe that it is running22:21
desrtfix: create empty directory22:21
chrisccoulsondesrt, oh, you didn't remove the reference to the profile from profiles.ini?22:21
desrtno.22:21
chrisccoulsonyeah, that behaviour is a bit dumb :)22:21
desrtif i had to guess, it's trying to create a lock in the profile directory and when that fails, it assumes it's because someone else is holding the lock22:23
desrtmeanwhile it actually failed because the directory doesn't exist22:23
chrisccoulsondesrt, yes, that's right :)22:24

desrtchrisccoulson: firefox question..22:52
desrtchrisccoulson: do you know if it's possible to automatically set all incoming cookies to expire at session-end except for explicitly-whitelisted ones/sites?22:52
chrisccoulsondesrt, i don't think that's possible22:54
desrtit seems like the obviously-correct thing to do22:55
desrtit should be the freaking default22:55
desrtnevermind not possible at all without an addon :p22:55
chrisccoulsondesrt, yeah, i just took a look at the code which handles storing cookies, and it doesn't look like it supports that22:57
chrisccoulsondesrt, question for you ....  ;)22:57
chrisccoulsoncan i have different menus in each window with gtkapplication and gmenu?22:58
desrtno22:58
desrtbut...22:58
desrtit is planned to add support for that22:58
chrisccoulsonthat would make me very happy :)22:58
desrtwhat's your usecase?22:58
chrisccoulsoni started looking at adding support for this to firefox, and thunderbird is the obvious case for needing a separate menubar per window22:59
desrti ask because we're currently pondering between two different flavours for the UI22:59

desrtcookieculler is pretty close to what i want23:04
chrisccoulsonhmmm, that hasn't been updated for over 2 years :/23:05
desrtit does the trick, though23:05
chrisccoulsoni tend to avoid addons that aren't being actively maintained :)23:06
chrisccoulsonyeah, the cookie service stuff hasn't changed much in a while (i don't think)23:06
desrtit's relatively simple23:06
desrtyou flag cookies as 'protected'23:06
desrtand any cookie not flagged is deleted on startup23:06
desrtso i can throw my bugzilla and launchpad login cookies in here23:06
desrtand to hell with the rest23:06
chrisccoulsonooh, my armel debug firefox nightly build has nearly finished. and it only took half the day :)23:08
desrthum23:12
desrtcookie culler is having a bad interaction with canonical wiki and SSO23:12
desrtuhm23:15
desrtis the canonical wiki broken for anyone else? :)23:15
chrisccoulsonit seems to be working ok here23:16
desrtweird23:16
desrti just nuked cookieculler23:16
desrtand it's still not working23:16
desrti can go to the main page but every time i try to navigate from there it seems to forget my login and wants me to do it again23:17
jbichadesrt: the Canonical wiki's broken for me, but I think that's different ;)23:20
desrtjbicha: maybe not23:22
* desrt recently got some permission bits flipped, but maybe not as many as he thought23:23
jbichaI've never had access to the Canonical wiki23:24
desrtyou're missing out on a lot of ... purple23:24
jbichawell I still get the purple polka dots, just no text to go with it so I don't visit it very often, lol23:25

chrisccoulsonnice, i have a new follower on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/TynishaX784923:45
chrisccoulsoni'm sure that i'm getting more and more twitter spam recently ;)23:45
desrtquite posh.23:45
chrisccoulsonheh23:46
* desrt notes that the web is completely overgrown with cookie use23:47
TheMusoOne could consider cookies a form of spyware...23:49
desrti sort of do23:49
desrtdisabling them entirely is not really an option either23:50
desrtsince most sites these days require them for even basic functioning23:50
TheMusoThis is true.23:50
desrterasing them as soon as you leave the site is the best you can do23:50
desrtwhen the browser closes is a good enough approximation for me23:50
TheMusoYeah.23:50
chrisccoulsonright, time to move downstairs23:53
