mhall119I haven't seen anybody actually frustrated with Dodge being removed, just people who thought auto-hide was being removed.03:06
mhall119though personally I do miss it03:06
imnicholcould someone explain to me what dodge is exactly?03:51
imnicholI'm running alpha2, and I haven't noticed any changes to the behavior03:52

sbtehtorque_, how is the leak test coming along? :P10:19
htorque_sbte: needed the machine tonight, will start it shortly.10:20
sbtehtorque_, ok10:20
htorque_sbte: i was told, that this one is not helpful: bug 930291 :-(10:21
ubot5Launchpad bug 930291 in indicator-application (Ubuntu) "indicator-application-service leaking memory (~10 MiB/h)" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93029110:21
sbtehtorque_, well, it tells you that there's either a leak in glib or in some asynchronous callback10:23
htorque_which doesn't tell _me_ a lot :P10:23
sbtehtorque_, it doesn't say anything really10:23
sbtejust that there is a leak _somewhere_ :P10:24
sbtehtorque_, but I'll see if I can spot the leak10:25
sbtebrb10:25
sbtehtorque, I think I found something10:53
sbtehtorque, not sure if this is it, but maybe it helps: https://code.launchpad.net/~sbte/indicator-application/fix-memory-leak11:01
htorquesbte: \o/ will test once the compiz valgrind is done. :)11:12
sbtehtorque, I'm not sure if it fixes your leak, but it fixes _some_ leak :P11:13
sbteok, the staging ppa just totally broke my system12:24
htorquesbte: unity or compiz?12:41
sbtehtorque, unity uninstalled itself and I can't install if back, because the right version of libnux is not present :P12:42
htorqueah !:-)12:42

DebolazAnyone knows if the bug where Unity will always show the title of the last application shown, even when the application has been closed, is reported?15:33
DebolazLaunchpad seems to be a bit overloaded atm, so I can't search very effectively.15:33
htorque_sbte: i've finished the compiz valgrind (~1 meg leaks per hour) and the biggest item is again such a weird trace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/837930/15:38
htorque_the next in size is just 112kb. i'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong.15:39
htorque_that's how i run compiz:15:39

sbtehtorque, no, it's not your fault15:46
sbteand I might have even found that leak15:46
sbtebut I don't understand dbus too well...15:46
freijonhey. I'm developing an app which uses libappindicator. everything works fine when using unity. when I switch to gnome-shell, the indicator is displayed in the bottom right, but the icon is not displayed. is this an issue of libappindicator or gnome-shell?15:49

AlanBellanyone know what Unity.LauncherEntry.get_for_app_uri(uri) is expecting as a URI?16:09
htorque_sbte: off for today, but starting your indicator-application branch for testing. good luck fixing all the other leaks! ;-)16:14
sbtehtorque, ok, just spam me any leaks you find, no matter how small they are :P16:15

AlanBellare you working on leaks of nux objects left behind by the unity compiz plugin?16:16

ubot5Launchpad bug 930683 in Compiz Core "Alt-Tab don't work" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93068316:19
AlanBellnjin: works for me16:20
njinAlanBell: have you followed the described steps?16:20
AlanBellyes, bunch of apps open, switch to an empty workspace, alt tab, see other stuff to switch to, let go and it swooshes over to the main workspace and focusses the app I selected16:21
njinAlanBell, don't work for me16:23
JanCit probably depends on what application switcher plugin you are using16:23
njintermenal and firefox16:24
njinterminal16:24
JanCI mean what compiz "application switcher" plugin16:24
AlanBellI am using the standard unity switcher which to be fair, is pretty broken, but works in this instance16:24
njinI'm testing compiz beta116:25
AlanBellhuh?? what version of ubuntu are you using?16:25
njinprecise16:25
AlanBellok, and you are using unity 5.2?16:26
JanCAlanBell: logically it will work, as it always pollutes Alt-Tab with every irrelevant app you don't want to see there  ;)16:26
JanC(but you already said it's broken)16:26
AlanBelland raises all windows of a certain app, even if you only want one of them16:26
AlanBellyeah, it is broken :)16:26
njinyes, 5.216:28
JanCnjin: did you change anything with ccsm?16:28
njinJanC, no not installed16:29
JanCi.e., do you have the same issues with a clean user profile?16:29
AlanBellbug 861250 is targetted at unity 5.4 so there is hope, will that make it to feature freeze?16:29
njinyes, nothing changed16:29
ubot5Launchpad bug 861250 in unity (Ubuntu) "alt-tab - quick alt + tab (before the switcher shows) not consistent" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/86125016:29
AlanBellyeah, looks like that should squeeze into FF16:30
njinNo, isn't a dup, is really broken, it works correctly from a focused app but not from an empty workspace16:34
AlanBellyeah, I appreciate you are describing something different, but I can't reproduce it16:35
njin0.9.7.0-beta116:35
AlanBellthat your compiz version?16:37
* AlanBell thinks 0.9.6 is in precise16:37
AlanBelljust updating now, but I don't see a compiz update in the list16:38
njinAlanBell, is didrocks ppa, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:didrocks/ppa then sudo update/dist-upgrade16:40
njinworks, but buggy16:41
njinthere is a testing request for this16:43
AlanBellif I set up a dbus signal receiver with bus.add_signal_receiver how do I remove it again when I am done with it?17:17
AlanBellhacked around it17:25
AlanBellif you run this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/sanity.py in python you should get reasonably functional window quicklists17:26
AlanBellwould appreciate comments and thoughts17:26
AlanBellcode is likely to be a bit rubbish, it is my first ever go with dbus and signals and stuff17:26
jussimhall119: ping18:38
ingwaGeneral question:18:38
ingwaWill apps developed for unity be done using a specific toolkit?18:39
ingwaand follow some specific interface design guidelins?18:39
AlanBellingwa: anything with a .desktop file can go in the launcher18:43
ingwaadmittedly my knowledge of unity is sketchy at best18:44
AlanBellhttp://developer.ubuntu.com/ has some guidance, but really the Gnome HIG is probably what you are after http://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.0/18:45
ingwabut I heard that unity is targeted for not only standard PC's but also tablets.  That would make the Gnome HIG pretty obsolete, wouldn't it?18:45
AlanBellyes, it would be nice to have a unity HIG18:46
ingwaThe reason I'm asking is that I am thinking of porting something to unity and I would like to know what's expected of the port.18:47
ingwaAlanBell: anything like that in the works?18:50
AlanBellnot sure18:52
ingwaIs there anything at all that talks about unity apps on a tablet?18:56
ingwa(Is there anything that talks about unity itself on tablets, btw?)18:56
AlanBellingwa: might be best asking that on a weekday19:01
AlanBellthere are a number of things right now which I guess don't work so well on tablets, although the recent change to the launcher is a good thing I think19:01
