ryeerm, bug #930165 - may i ask anybody how such behavior can be "designed" - it is clearly broken when the user expects the mouse to move to another desktop seamlessly?10:43

ryeping JohnLea, may I inquire about bug #930165 which was "invalidated" by design?11:06
ubot5`Launchpad bug 930165 in unity (Ubuntu) "Unity launcher push-to-reveal code continues working in always-show - makes multimonitor navigation harder" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93016511:06
JohnLearhy; that bug was invalidated by dx, not design (it was not marked as also affects ayatana-design so we have not looked at it).  But reviewing it now, one sec11:08
JohnLearhy; there are multiple parts to this interaction.  The 'reveal edge' is disabled when the launcher is locked out, but 'Edge stop' is not only related to the launcher and should stay on in multi-monitor configs.  It is symmetrical (we also use it to make scrollbars easier to grab on the right side of the screen in multi-monitor setups), and most importantly it allows a window semi-maximise to be triggered on the joining edge between11:11
JohnLeatwo monitors.11:11
ryeJohnLea, ah, so this is not launcher-related. Scrollbars access is a really valid concern, now I understand the idea, hm11:12
JohnLearye; semi-maximise is the more important use case11:13
JohnLearhy; but yes scrollbars as well11:13
JohnLearhy; however with the launcher locked out it should be less 'sticky' because only the 'edge stop' is triggered11:14
ryehm, i wonder how to measure stickiness11:15
ryeJohnLea, hm, when i stack the windows vertically, edge stop does not work at all11:21
ryeJohnLea, i suppose this is a different bug then11:21
JohnLearhy; you mean stack monitors vertically?11:21
ryeJohnLea, yes, sorry, when the displays is stacked vertically I cannot maximize the window by dragging it to the top of a secondary display11:22
JohnLearye; yes that's a bug, it would be much appreciated if you could report it and ping me the bug number.  thx!11:22
ryeJohnLea, also, the mouse skips freely in vertical direction11:23
JohnLearhy; yes that's a bug, the 'edge' stop should be triggered in all axis equally.  This is important to fix so that users can use the 'drag window to the top of the screen to maximise' gesture in vertically aligned multi-monitor configs11:24

ubot5`Launchpad bug 931384 in unity (Ubuntu) "Windows can't be maximized on the lower display in vertically-stacked configuration" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93138411:31
JohnLeaaquarius; but right now I am doing reviews with two developers who both have been up all night (and the weekend) coding to hit feature freeze, and they can't go to sleep until I have finished these reviews, so wait 30 min.  then I'm all yours ;-)11:32
aquariusJohnLea, I agree that edge resistance allows semi-maximising a window on the joining edge between two monitors, but that only applies *when I'm dragging a window*. When I'm not, it makes it way awkward to move the mouse between monitors :(11:33
* aquarius happily waits 30 minutes for response :)11:40

nhainesSo my question of the day is, when does HUD get activated in precise?  :)21:18
thumpernhaines: thursday :)21:22
mfischmhall119: I was trying your community-lens per your blog post, but it's choking on "import locodir".  Can you point me at what package provides that?21:22
mhall119mfisch: are you trying it from the bzr branch?21:23
mfischmhall119: yes21:23
mhall119there should be a locodir.py in the branch, you'll need that on your PYTHONPATH21:23
mfischmhall119: I pulled it from there yesterday, fixed a couple things in the packaging and then installed it21:24
mhall119hmmm, the package should install locodir.py21:24
mfischmhall119: lp:~mhall119/onehundredscopes/unity-community-lens does not have locodir.py21:24
nhainesthumper: yay!  Thanks.  :)  I saw some nice updates on Friday and by now I was getting anxious.  I'm really looking forward to it.21:25
gotwigis  there an extra channel for lens developmennt?21:26
gotwig"development"21:26
mhall119mfisch: ah, yes, community-lens doesn't actually need to import locodir anymore21:26
mhall119mfisch: locodir.py should in in unity-locoteams-scope now21:26
gotwigI would like to develop one, for searching cook recips :-) anyone interessted, in happy c00king , the 1337 stYle ? :D21:26
mhall119gotwig: this is the best channel to talk about  lens development21:27
mfischmhall119: I also modified the control file a bit: gir1.2-unity-4.0 -> 5.0 and then unity-singlet -> python-unity-singlet21:27
gotwigmhall119: thanks for the info21:27
gotwigso do you things there are people interessted in thaat?21:27
mhall119mfisch: submit your changes to my package branch as a merge proposal and I'll make those changes21:27
mfischmhall119: I just need a good example to start from, would you recommend locoteams instead?21:27
gotwigsearching cook recips, in unity?21:27
mfischmhall119: okay wrt control file21:27
mhall119gotwig: probably, the only way to find out is to make it21:28
gotwigmhall119: :-)21:28
mhall119mfisch: example for what?21:28
gotwigmhall119: its a shame, that I dont find a search engine or site, that has multilingual recips21:28
nhainesgotwig: ooh, will it read Gourmet files or will it be a Web search?21:28
mfischmhall119: just as a starting point to learn the api.  seems like they're very similar so I'm guessing either is fine21:29
mhall119nhaines: you can make scopes for both :)21:29
gotwignhaines: more a Web Search :-)21:29
mhall119mfisch: unity-locoteams-scope provide data to unity-community-lens21:29
mhall119they work together21:29
gotwignhaines: but you would be able to filter, trough ratings, categories, etc.21:29
gotwignhaines: the needed time21:29
mfischmhall119: thx21:30
nhainesgotwig: well, do consider adding Gourmet support as well... it's the only recipe manager I know for Ubuntu.  Sounds like a nice lens, though!21:30
gotwignhaines: yip, maybe I will integrate a configurator, like in the youtube lens21:31
gotwigI asked already a big site for recipe search for API acess21:31
gotwigtoo bad that I can't  cook ^^21:32
nhainesgotwig: hehe, I think it's just practice.  ^^21:35
gotwignhaines: http://www.recipefy.com/21:36
gotwigseems to be a good base21:36
gotwigright? it seems to be multilingual, but 4000 recipes is not much21:36
gotwig*are and many :X21:37
mhall119gotwig: that's over 10 years of dinners21:37
nhainesgotwig: might be a good start... make it modular and others can add in plugins for other services.  :)21:37
mhall119nhaines: gotwig: Unity lenses are automatically modular21:38
mhall119anybody can add a scope to your lens21:38
gotwigmhall119: mh, yummi ;)21:38
nhainesmhall119: that simplifies things then!21:38
gotwigI have to do it trough python, right?21:39
nhainesI am very pleased at how fast the Unity Dash is in precise.  It's dismal in 11.10.21:39
gotwignhaines: +121:39
gotwignhaines: I live 12.04, already use it on all my  (working) systems21:39
gotwig"love" xD21:39
gotwigtoo late for me, german boy.. :P21:40
nhainesgotwig: I have some significant trouble with Synergy on precise which means I can't use it very much.  And it won't run on my laptop at all... kernel panic during boot!21:40
nhainesBut hopefully I can set aside some time and file some bugs.21:40
gotwignhaines: bad luck ;P21:41
gotwignhaines: finaly I dont have toshiba battery problems21:41
gotwignhaines: I mean, it still consumes much, but I can finally see all statistics out of the box21:42
mhall119mfisch: thanks for the MP!  Approved and merged your changes21:44
mfischmhall119: np.21:44
mfischmhall119: can you clarify something from your blog?  1st para says singlet will work in oneiric, but you replied to a comment later that says precise-only?21:45
mhall119mfisch: good idea.  Singlet 0.1 works on Oneiric, but 0.2 onward is Precise only21:46
mhall119mfisch: is https://plus.google.com/u/0/109141308226450489079/ you?21:46
mfischmhall119: https://plus.google.com/u/0/110837030248729640386 is me21:47
mhall119thanks21:48
mhall119If I tag the wrong person, he'd be all kinds of confused :)21:48
mfischmhall119: yes he would21:49
gotwigmhall119: link?21:50
gotwigmfisch: are you german :D?21:51
mfischgotwig: my great-great-great grandparents were when they moved to New York in the 1800s, so kinda?21:51
gotwigmfisch: Na dann ;)21:51
mfischgotwig: I'm a typical American mutt, german hungarian, scottish, english, and ???21:52
gotwigmfisch: ???: undefinied21:52
mfischgotwig: meaning, lost to history21:52
gotwigmfisch: and I thought the indianers are the real americans :P21:53
mhall119gotwig: link to what?21:53
mfischgotwig: I'm not getting into that argument21:53
gotwigmhall119: about the merge21:53
mfischgotwig: ;)21:53
mhall119gotwig: https://code.launchpad.net/~mfisch/onehundredscopes/unity-community-lens-fixes/+merge/9286021:53
gotwigmfisch: .... I'm just a german boy, that cant talk properly english, I'm sorrry for that :P21:54
gotwigmfisch: offtopic21:54
gotwigmhall119: thanks for that21:54
gotwigbtw. what is with scope compatibility for unity 5.021:55
mhall119gotwig: the API changed between Unity 4 (oneiric) and Unity 5 (precise)21:58
gotwigmhall119: I would like to see the google books lens again22:00
nhainesgotwig: dein Englisch ist mindestens tausendmal besser als mein Deutsch.  :)22:01
mhall119gotwig: that's davidcalle's, I'm not sure if it's been upgraded to Precise yet22:01
nhainesHmm, I'll need to ping people about the Ubuntu console font again.22:02
gotwigmfisch: what does the community lens do?22:02
mfischgotwig: you should read this: http://mhall119.com/2012/01/singlet-part-0-2/22:02
gotwigmhall119: you did the dictionary lens?22:03
gotwigmhall119: or scope, sry22:03
gotwigmfisch: singlet looks realy sexy to me :D22:05
gotwigtoo bad that you have to install singlet, and cant boundle it somehow into the app it self :/22:11
gotwigso, the user has to install 2 packages, if he hasnt already singlet installed22:11
gotwigno respons...?22:17
nhainesgotwig: just remember that then once you have singlet installed you never have to install it multiple times with other apps as well.22:20
gotwignhaines: I know.. the thing with libraries22:20
gotwignhaines: would be good to have it installed by default in unity, right?22:21
gotwigor  merge the functions of it into unity it self22:21
nhainesgotwig: donno, not if it can be used for other purposes outside of Unity, or isn't needed by any of the default Unity features.  :)22:21
nhainesPlus being separate also means that it can have bugfixes applied without having to download and reinstall all of Unity again.22:22
gotwignhaines: when I never developed a scope or lens, and now I want to , should I use it :X ?22:22
gotwigI want to develop it for 12.0422:23
gotwig* in relation to  singlet22:23
mhall119gotwig: singlet is in the Universe repo, so it will be automatically downloaded and installed when it's needed22:23
gotwigmhall119: from 12.04?22:23
mhall119gotwig: yes22:23
gotwigmhall119: there are two packages22:24
gotwigmhall119: which one you mean, are they the same?22:24
gotwigpython-unity-singlet, and unity-singlet22:24
mhall119gotwig: python-unity-singlet is the binary package you will install22:24
mhall119unity-singlet is the source package22:24
gotwigmhall119: ok :-) nice nice nice22:25
gotwigmhall119: I am more a script guy ;)22:25
mhall119gotwig: me too, when doing local development22:25
mhall119but packages make it easier for other people to use what I write22:25
gotwighm that community lens from the ppa is not compatible with unity 5.0 (?)22:27
gotwigmhall119: I already packaged stuff ;)22:27
gotwigmhall119: for the elementary project22:28
mhall119gotwig: that's part of what mfisch fixed22:28
mhall119gotwig: the fix is building now, and should be available from the PPA in a few hours22:28
gotwigand the dictionary package22:30
gotwigdepends on unity-singlet22:30
gotwignot on python-unity-singlet22:30
gotwigwhat breaks some things, too ..22:30
gotwigI think you already know it22:30
mhall119gotwig: yeah, the dictionary lens package needs to be updated too22:30
mfischgotwig: yeah, installing the python-unity-singlet removed some of my older lenses22:31
mhall119mfisch: it did?22:31
mfischmhall119: let me check the logs22:31
mfischmhall119: yes.  Remove: unity-scope-calculator:amd64 (0.1), gir1.2-unity-4.0:amd64 (4.0.6-0ubuntu3), unity-scope-cities:amd64 (0.1), unity-lens-sshsearch:amd64 (0.1), unity-lens-utilities:amd64 (0.1)22:32
mfischmhall119: now, I upgraded to precise 1-2 weeks back so they could have already been broken22:32
mhall119mfisch: oh, yeah, likely they were22:34
