RAOFArgh!  Why is compiz claiming <Alt>+<right>? for alt-tab?00:22
RAOF*Sometimes* ?00:23
TheMusoRAOF: I am having other funky keybinding issues in conjunction with Orca.00:30
TheMusoSo I think there may be keybinding issues with recent compizz.00:30
RAOFI think this might have to do with the recent keybindings rework. :)00:31
TheMusoRAOF: Indeed.00:31
TheMusoI've just filed a bug for my issue.00:31
RAOFHuh.  It seems that the *second* keypress works - <Alt><left> is swallowed, but <Alt><left>, <Alt><left> goes back a page in Chromium.00:51
RAOFHeh.  And if you <Alt><left>, <Alt><right> Tomboy actually gets the <Alt><right>!  Workaround!00:52
* RAOF kills compiz again to get his keyboard back.01:28
RAOF…and again.01:29
RAOF@pilot out02:25
pittiGood morning05:47
pittidobey: we don't have many languages any more; English, Simplified Chinese (for China), Spanish, Portugese05:48
pittiall others already became a victim of adding the 25th runtime/language on the CD05:49
DBORAOF, sorry, had to reject your branch06:00
RAOFDBO: The pointer-barrier thing?  Yeah, after using it for a while it turns out that having the barrier both ways *is* better ;)06:01
jasoncwarner_RAOF: are you running unity-team ppa for compiz?06:02
RAOFjasoncwarner_: Yes, I think so.06:02
RAOFOh, actually no.06:02
DBOjasoncwarner_, I am06:02
DBOif you are referencing evil things from the super key-presses, we know06:03
jasoncwarner_RAOF: thumper just told me that the compiz there has some serious key grabbing issues...so if you are, that could be a problem06:03
jasoncwarner_DBO: yeah, thumper just walked me through it...06:03
RAOFI *am* running unity-team PPA for unity, though.06:03
jasoncwarner_RAOF: I think you would have the compiz as well then, no?06:03
jasoncwarner_DBO: thanks, yo...sounds like that one is going to be a fun one to look into ;)06:04
RAOF1:0.9.7.0~bzr2995-0ubuntu3 is the version of compiz I have; it's from the main archive.06:04
RAOFI also have fun keygrabbing issues; is it possible that the compiz with that issue is in the main archive, rather than the PPA?06:04
jasoncwarner_RAOF: yeah, me too Installed: 1:0.9.7.0~bzr2995-0ubuntu306:04
jasoncwarner_RAOF: I'm pretty sure that is unity-team ppa (didrocks can confirm, though)06:04
DBORAOF, what keygrabbing issues are you seeing?06:04
RAOFDBO: <Alt><right> brings up alt-tab switcher, <Alt><left> doesn't work, but <Alt><left><left> does.06:05
RAOFSimilarly, <Super><space> doesn't summon Do; <Super><space><space> does.06:05
RAOF<Alt><left><right> works for <Alt><right>06:06
DBOalt right?06:06
RAOFBasically, it seems that unity is eating the first keypress of any modifier-using chord.06:06
DBORAOF, how could we be doing that?06:07
RAOFDBO: For getting dot points in Tomboy, for example, or for forward in Chromium.06:07
DBOsuper space isn't even us06:07
pittidobey: oh, there's one other thing: if we can drop python3 from the default install again, we'd reclaim some 5 MB :)06:07
RAOFDBO: No, but you *could* be eating everything with a <Super> attached, again.  You've got a passive grab on both <Super> and <Alt> now, right?06:07
DBORAOF, also we got unity running in LLVM pipe06:07
RAOFExcept now you're only eating the first keypress rather than all of them :)06:08
DBORAOF, nothing in archive should have changed that06:08
DBORAOF, LLVMpipe unity is quite fast06:09
RAOFThere is no newer compiz in the unity-team PPA, at least as far as I can see.06:09
RAOFDBO: Yeah, LLVMpipe is pretty good.  I'd be interested to see how it fares on less-than-awesome CPUs; ARM would be a nice test :)06:09
DBORAOF, works fine on a mini-906:11
RAOFThat's pretty impressive.06:11
DBOyeah06:11
DBOits not *as* fast06:11
DBObut its livable06:11
RAOFSlowish when trying to render a blurred alt-tab over video, I'd wager, but otherwise fine?06:12
DBOyes06:12
DBOllvm-pipe should disable blurs06:12
DBOotherwise it is plenty fast06:12
RAOFIt just required you to swapbuffers on each damage event?06:12
DBOyes06:12
RAOFslash frame?06:12
DBOyes06:12
DBOwhich we cna do from the unity plugin itself06:13
DBOso, as far as Unity is concerned06:13
DBOwe run on everything now06:13
RAOFProps.06:13
RAOFNow to get didrocks to try that barrier stuff :)06:14
RAOFHey!  Why don't I have software-center installed?06:15
RAOFDBO: The patch for https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/925293 was in 1:0.9.7.0~bzr2995-0ubuntu2, which is in the archive.  Is that the thing causing modifiers to go mad?06:18
ubot2`Launchpad bug 925293 in compiz-core "Plugins can't tell the difference between a modifier key-tap, and a modifier key-release (after being used to modify other keys)" [High,Fix committed]06:18
didrocksgood morning06:19
RAOFYo didrocks!06:19
didrockshey RAOF06:19
DBORAOF, yeah thats the one06:19
DBOokay06:19
didrocksmodifier going mad?06:19
pittihey didrocks06:20
didrocksguten morgen pitti06:20
RAOFdidrocks: Press <Alt><Right> :)06:20
pittiRAOF, DBO: oh, are you talking about the problem that I can't type "B" any more?06:20
didrocksRAOF: works here, weechat changes my channel06:20
RAOFAlternatively, try to go back a page in firefox by pressing <alt><left>06:20
pitti(I have a Ctrl+B keybinding assigned which is broken now, and then couldn't type B without modifier)06:20
didrocksworks too06:20
RAOFdidrocks: What's your compiz?06:21
didrocksRAOF: well, the latest I pushed to the archive06:21
didrocksubuntu306:21
RAOFHm, odd.06:21
didrocksRAOF: pitti: do you have other examples of broken keys?06:22
* didrocks already reverted one patch yesterday from -0ubuntu2, so I can revert another one :(06:22
RAOFdidrocks: Anything using <Alt> or <Super>.  The first keypress is ignored  (or does something weird), the second and subsequent has the normal effect.06:22
RAOFSo I *can* go back a page in Chromium by hitting <Alt><left><left>, but <Alt><left> does nothing.06:23
DBOpitti, yeah06:23
DBOpitti, seems to be the patch to compiz that got backported into distro06:23
RAOFAlso, <Super><space> no longer summons Do; <Super><space><space> does.06:23
didrocksgrrr, I don't understand, it works here…06:23
RAOFThe bane of the developer!06:23
didrocksok, anyway, if there is a patch causing that, it can only be this one from the current set06:24
didrockshum06:24
didrocksno, there is maybe the keybinding one as well06:24
pittianyway, that patch doesn't seem to have helped here to repair broken key bindings, only made it worse :/06:25
didrockspitti: it's not that one06:25
pittior putting windows into the background is generally broken now06:25
didrockspitti: it's another one which repairs the keybinding06:25
didrockspitti: so, open ccsm06:25
didrockspitti: viewport06:25
didrocksswitch to viewport06:25
didrocksthen assign a keybinding06:25
didrocks-> this should work06:25
pittihm, my broken key is with window management06:26
pitti(which are in control-center)06:26
pittiI don't see a key for "put into background" in ccsm, but I'll keep lokoing06:27
didrockspitti: hum, I'm really not sure about this one though06:27
didrocksis the viewport keybinding working?06:27
pittithat is, switch between virtual desktops?06:27
pittiyes, that never broke06:27
didrocks(people were complaining about this one for keybindings06:27
didrocksit was broken06:28
pittiin fact, all of the Alt+F5, Alt+F10, Strg+Alt+Cursor etc. kept working all the time for me06:28
pittiexcept my Ctrl+B to put window into the background06:28
didrockspitti: directly switching to a viewport06:28
pittibut I guess I ought to file a bug about it06:28
pittididrocks: ah, let me try06:28
didrocksviewport switcher -> go to specific viewport06:28
didrockspeople were complaining about those06:28
didrocksand this is what was fixed by the patch06:28
pittidoesn't work when I set it in control-center06:29
didrocksalt + r just for testing and it works06:29
pittihm, how do I specify in ccsm?06:29
pitti<Ctrl><Alt>1 ? or a different syntax?06:30
pittioh, nevermind; it's a confusing UI, found it06:30
didrockspitti: you can ask for capturing your key combination06:30
pittidoesn't work there either06:30
didrocks?06:30
* didrocks doesn't understand06:30
pittiit says <Primary><Alt>1  (and 2)06:30
didrocksdoesn't undertand at all06:30
pittibut it doesn't actually act06:30
didrockspitti: try anything without ctrll06:30
didrocksctrl is written as "primary", that doesn't seem right06:31
pittitried <alt>1 / 2, works06:31
didrocksah06:31
didrockscan you try the same for switching windows in the backcgorund?06:31
pittithis also works in control-center06:31
didrocksnot using ctrl06:31
didrocksyeah, I ensured the g-c-c integration worked06:32
pittiooh06:32
pittithat works06:32
pittinice, I have that key back!06:32
pittiso it's "just" control which is broken?06:32
didrocksok, so it's another issue06:32
didrocksyeah, control seems to be mapped as "primary"06:32
didrocksand no more "ctrl"06:32
* pitti goes back to configuring his screen layout the normal way, having good IRC again06:33
pitti*happy*06:33
didrocksI'm puzzled, nothing changed in ccsm, and no big changes in ibcompizconfig06:33
pittinew GTK?06:33
didrocksyeah, possibly :/06:33
didrocksso, there is this bug06:33
didrocksnow, on the key tap not working06:33
DBOdidrocks, gtk changed control to primary...06:33
didrocksI would really like to reproduce them06:33
didrocksDBO: oh?06:33
didrocksso yeah, there is a mismatch somewhere now06:33
didrocksok, keybinding works - this primary that we should track06:34
didrockson the tapping now, you all have it?06:34
* didrocks ties alt + left in weechat, chromium, always work, even the first time06:34
didrocksRAOF: as you have the issue, can you do a build for me?06:35
RAOFdidrocks: Certainly.06:35
RAOFHah.  *Yet another* person confused by <Primary>06:35
didrocksRAOF: lp:compiz, comment fix_925293.patch in debian/patches/series06:36
RAOFpitti, didrocks: GTK (both 3 *and* 2) now map <Ctrl> to <Primary>.  For some reason that I've not bothered to explore fully, except to bitch about.06:36
didrocksRAOF: interesting, so compiz is still waiting for Ctrl, but ccsm, because of gtk is setting it to <Primary> fo you :/06:37
RAOFdidrocks: Yeah.  Compiz (like apparently everything else which deals with keybindings) needs to deal with that.  http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=7f5733b454e26c882d4e707b57cd03b104f57dd2 is how g-c-c handled it.06:39
didrocksRAOF: oh, thanks for the pointer!06:39
RAOFOr possibly ccsm.06:39
didrocksyeah06:39
RAOFAlso, don't write a check like that :)06:39
didrockshum, there seem that there is a key control check06:40
didrocksIt doesn't like me to edit directly in ccsm06:40
* didrocks tries in gconf06:40
didrockspitti: ok, Martin06:41
didrockspitti: in gconf-editor06:41
didrockspitti: you can edit your keybindings06:41
didrocksfor intance06:41
didrocks<Control><Alt>106:42
didrocksthat works06:42
didrocks/apps/compiz-1/plugins/<pluging_name>/screen0/options06:42
didrocksit's clearly due to ccsm + new gtk06:42
didrocksphew, so the keybinding fix works, just need a little bit help of ccsm side06:43
* didrocks started to think he will at the end revert all the patches we had06:43
pittididrocks: hm, is that really a ccsm problem? I only touched that in g-c-c06:46
pittididrocks: anyway, I'll keep Alt+B for now06:46
didrockspitti: yeah, I'm looking about this, it's weird06:46
pittididrocks: in fact, that's what I had for a very long time until the menus grabbed them06:46
pittibut now the window handling keybinding seems to trump a menu with 'B', so that's fine for me ;)06:47
didrocksok06:50
didrocksso g-c-c06:50
didrocksstill uses the keybinding integration06:50
didrocksbut store <Primary>06:50
didrocksin gconf06:50
didrocksand show Control in the ui06:51
didrocksat least, it all make sense06:51
didrocksI think the easier way is in compiz making Primary == Control, otherwise, it's patching g-c-c, ccsm…06:51
pittiI still wonder if that is a Gtk bug06:52
pittithat seems like a rather pointless change06:52
didrocksyeah, maybe better to wait for desrt on that one06:52
didrocksRAOF: still building? :)06:53
RAOFYes06:54
* RAOF heads out to the movies; I'll test once I get back.06:56
didrocksok, thanks RAOF :)07:02
tkamppeterpitti, hi07:32
pittihey tkamppeter07:33
tkamppeterpitti, perhaps you know that Dwe have agreed on a printer driver packaging policy with Debian, where one part is to name the packages printer-driver-...07:34
pittitkamppeter: yes07:34
pittitkamppeter: and it seems we have most of that already07:34
pittiI updated the seeds along07:34
tkamppeterpitti, due to this, all the printer driver packages are renamed now and the ubuntu-meta seeds are pulling the transitional packages.07:35
tkamppeterpitti, there are two possibilities to correct this:07:35
pittitkamppeter: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+changelog :)07:35
pittitkamppeter: I might have missed some, but most are updated07:35
pittic2esp already got renamed easlier07:35
pittiin 1.25807:35
tkamppeterpitti, fine, but perhaps we can go a more Debian-conforming way to include Debian's meta package printing-metas (source)/printer--drivers-all(binary). This is a meta package not installing any files, so no problem to introduce after FF.07:37
pittitkamppeter: as long as it doesn't pull in a ton of extra packages, or universe ones, sure07:37
tkamppeterpitti, it pulls printer-driver-escpr and c2050 from Universe.07:43
tkamppeterpitti, we could MIR the two, use printing-metas with these two patched out, or not use printing-metas, WDYT?07:44
pittitkamppeter: they are both tiny, so if they work and are well maintained, a MIR seems fine07:46
tkamppeterpitti, is m2300w -> printer-driver-m2300w covered? I do not see this one.07:47
pittiwe don't currently install this at all by default07:47
tkamppeterpitti, printer-driver-escpr is well maintained and probably already widely used under Ubuntu because it is also available as OpenPrinting auto download.07:47
pittisupported-misc-servers: * m2300w  # Driver for the Minolta magicolor 2300W/24000W color laser printers07:47
pittiI'll update that07:48
pittidone07:48
tkamppeterpitti, does m2300w get installed with the standard installation, as all the others?07:49
pittino07:49
tkamppeterpitti, can we install it? The printers covered by m2300w should get equally treated as printers supported by other drivers.07:51
=== philipballew is now known as philipballew_
pittiit's quite big (0.5 MB)07:51
=== philipballew_ is now known as philipballew
pittiso, as long as our CDs are horribly oversized, I'd veto any new major additions07:51
pittitkamppeter: I wish we could install printer drivers on demand instead of having to ship them all by default07:52
pittisounds like a nice UDS topic07:52
pittiwe have a nice system using a PackageKit API for this now07:52
pittiso we could introduce this in an upstream friendly way07:52
pitti(i. e. not a pure jockey solution)07:52
tkamppeterpitti, printing-metas would pull this one, too.07:53
tkamppeterpitti, c2050 is for one very old Lexmark inkjet, discontinued ~10 years ago, driver for only 300 dpi color, probably made by a student to get his printer working and that's it. package continued to be maintained by Debian (only packaging and perhaps bug fixes) and auto-synced into Ubuntu ...07:57
pittiso that one doesn't seem very urgent then07:57
tkamppeterpitti, I would only promote this to main to be able to sync printing-metas from Debian. I by myself even did not work on this package because the expected user community is extremely small.07:58
pittiSweetshark: nice @ bug 900636; do you know whether the patches will be in the pending upload?08:03

seb128pitti, should report['Title'] be availabe in an apport hook?11:20
seb128it gives me a key not found, not sure why11:20
pittiseb128: depends; for a crash it should, for a bug report not11:21
pittias bug reports can't have default titles11:21
seb128pitti, it's a segfault11:21
seb128I run ubuntu-bug on the .crash11:21
pittiah, sorry, no11:21
pittihooks can set it11:21
pittiand if they don't, launchpad.py calls report.standard_title()11:22
pittiseb128: so if you want to know the default title, just call taht11:22
seb128pitti, can I call that myself? or hook after the call?11:22
seb128ok, thanks11:22
seb128pitti, I want to add [name_of_panel]: at the start of gnome-control-center bugs11:22
seb128like [dislay]: segfault in function()11:23
pittiseb128: so for future compatibility, probably best if you get it like11:24
pittititle = report.get('Title', report.standard_title())11:24
pittititle = [... mangle ...]11:24
pittireport['Title'] = title11:24

jibelseb128, do you know where unity-greeter read the names of  keyboard layouts to list in the indicator  ?11:34
seb128jibel, run d-feet in your user session11:35
jibelon the broken system the layout is "fr          oss" and on systems that work it is "fr oss"11:35
seb128jibel, connect to the system bus11:35
seb128go to org.freedesktop.Accounts11:36
seb128select your user on the right, unfold the first categories (.User) and find XKeyboardLayouts and double click on it11:36
seb128jibel, but I think it's basically "gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts" as well11:37
seb128which gives me "['fr\toss']" here11:37
seb128pitti, I guess the apport summary dialog is being redesign with ev work? i.e I shouldn't bother sending a fix for the widget being like 15 pixel high?11:43
seb128pitti, thanks for the hint, my hook seems to work fine now!11:44

dixoncxhey, i need help for empthy.. Is there any way for "google group chat" in empathy ? From where i will get "server" address for "google group chat" ?13:07
dixoncxhey...13:09
dixoncxanyone, pls help...13:09
dobeypitti: i was wondering about python3. it looks like lsb-release, lsb-languages, and lsb-core all depend on it though13:33
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow
dobeyi guess lsb-release is the problematic one there13:34
=== Ursinha` is now known as Ursinha
seb128dobey, it was a decision to get pythion3 installed by default I think13:38
seb128python313:38
seb128dobey, it just happens that lsb uses it, but it's not there only because of it13:38
dobeyseb128: perhaps, but if lsb-release requires it, then dropping is a bit more difficult than just discussing whether or not to have it installed by default13:40
seb128dobey, well, porting lsb back to python2 is probably trivial13:40
seb128dobey, but again "we want to change toolkit for our ui which is working" is hardly a reason to drop python313:41
seb128we will like better to keep the gtk ui of control panel and python313:41
seb128rather than drop python3 so we can switch the control panel to a toolkit which is different from everything else we use13:41
dobeyregardless of whether we find space on the CD or not, i don't think "keep the gtk control panel" is going to happen13:43
dobeyand it's not up to me, so i do not want to argue on that point13:43
nessitaseb128: I know your feelings (and dobey's), but I think that an important reason is that we're no longer supporting the Gtk controlpanel, and perhaps that can be a reason to start a discussion (whatever that can be)13:43
nessitaseb128: right, the decision of dropping support for the Gtk panel is not ours (devs), so there isn't much we can do. If we don't fit in the CD with Qt, we'll remove the controlpanel altogether leaving the installer only :-/ (which is another thing to maintain for us)13:45
seb128dobey, nessita: the gkt control panel is on the CD if nothing happen it will stay here for the lts, so I'm not sure about  the "not going to happen"13:45
seb128dobey, nessita: you are an upstream like another, we can decide to stay on the non maintain gtk panel as we decide to stay on GNOME 3.2 for some GNOME components13:46
jbichaoh yay, the ubuntu one installer conversation again...13:46
seb128jbicha, hey ;-)13:46
jbichaseb128: hi13:46
dobeyseb128: the current gtk+ control panel is broken, and not getting fixed.13:47
dobeynessita: were you planning to drop the gtk package on the next release? or when?13:47
nessitaseb128: sure, I know that. But I also know that part of the Ubuntu One branding is removing the Gtk contropanel and going with the Qt one, so I guess some more conversation will have to happen13:48
nessitadobey: I was waiting to see if the issue of room in the CD was resolved...13:48
dobeynessita: i think it's resolved to "there is none"13:48
seb128nessita, dobey: well we told you at UDS that the toolkit change was going to be an issue, you choosed to ignore that... there we are13:48
dobeyseb128: i didn't ignore it. i knew it was going to be an issue. but it's not my call unfortunately :)13:49
nessitaseb128: hey, we did not ignore. We added that info to the decision making layers, and they used it.13:49
nessitaseb128: and they decided to go this route the same... there isn't much we /couldcan do13:49
seb128nessita, well your decision making layers knew there was a chance it would be an issue and decided to take it, there they are13:49
seb128nessita, dobey: it's nothing against you guys13:50
seb128we just knew there was a chance it would be problematic13:50
nessitaseb128: right, I know13:50
dobeyseb128: yes. i knew it was going to be problematic. though, with dropping mono as well, i wasn't expecting it to be *this* problematic :-/13:50
nessitadobey: regarding your question, since apparently we now have a definitive answer on the CD room, I guess we'll have to make that happen next release-week, no?13:51
dobeyseb128: anyway, now we are simply looking for possible solutions to it.13:51
seb128dobey, nessita: I guess the best you have to do now is to open a bug explaining why we can't keep the gtk one and need to go with the qt one13:51
seb128then we need to figure what we want to do13:51
seb128I would argue than we can fix the gtk one if it has issues13:52
seb128it seems to work fine for me btw, not sure how it's broken for you13:52
dobeyseb128: well one problem is that it suggests installing things we no longer support…13:53
nessitaseb128: among other things, is broken because it does not present the info as how out latest branding guidelines require13:53
dobeyseb128: and there are some bugs open that almost certainly won't be getting fixed13:53
seb128well, open a bug and state all the reasons we should change for13:54
nessitaack13:54
seb128I still think it's stupid to switch from our default toolkit to a different one, it's going to be the only application looking different for no reason and it's making CD space issues13:55
dobeywe have 3 default toolkits13:55
seb128like I would like better to have tomboy on the CD than qt only to be able to switch toolkit in the u1 panel13:55
dobeyactually, no; more than 3, but 3 major ones :)13:55
dobeyqt is already on the CD. we just need some of the python bindings13:56
seb128dobey, we have no application using qt on the unity session so far13:56
dobeyseb128: unity-2d is qt.13:56
seb128no even if it's technically on the CD we don't have any look mismatch13:56
seb128dobey, it's not unity and it's not an application13:56
seb128dobey, i.e it doesn't show as an look mismatch under unity 3d13:56
chrisccoulsonright, i've got to pop out for a bit13:57
chrisccoulsongoing for our second scan :)13:57
seb128chrisccoulson, good luck!13:57
=== greyback|lunch is now known as greyback
chrisccoulsonthanks13:57
didrockssee you chrisccoulson13:58
dobeyseb128: yes, well, technically our gtk control panel doesn't have a look consistent with the rest of the system, either.13:58
seb128dobey, let's stop that discussion, it's not very useful, as said I think the decision made there is stupid but it was neither yours or nessita's and not revelant to solving that issue13:59
seb128dobey, I just hate when obviously problematic decision are taken13:59
seb128and when it leads to the issue we said it would lead to13:59
seb128but shrug, it's the way it is13:59
seb128dobey, nessita: open a bug and dump into it all the reason why we need to switch14:00
seb128with an indication of the CD space you need14:00
seb128then we can work from there14:00
seb128we will have to make choices14:00
seb128we might need to drop something else if we feel the qt panel is more important14:00
nessitaseb128: makes sense, thanks14:00
nessitaI'll talk to the bosses so they can fill in all the reasoning14:01
dobeyi guess we'll probably ned about 8M :-/14:02
=== m_conley_away is now known as m_conley
=== sikon_ is now known as lucidfox
pittidobey: yes, but lsb-release can be reverted in a matter of seconds; it was only switched to python3 to get py3 into the default install, hoping that more projects would pick it up14:40
pittibut yes, it's trading one more runtime against another14:41
pittiseb128: well, I'd not keep the gtk control panel in our LTS against the U1 team's will14:42
pittiit's one of the components which almost certainly needs updating throughout precise's lifetime, so we need upstream support14:42
seb128pitti, right, well pyqt is 8mb it seems14:42
pittiI do share your avesion against introducing the n+1st toolkit, of course14:43
pittiif anythin we need to drop more14:43
pittiseb128: right now it's 1314:43
seb128pitti, I was rather complaining about the decision to change toolkit to bring yet another set of binding where the toolkit used was working fine14:43
seb128but *shrug*14:43
pittiit can certainly be split, though, I think dobey mentioned that someone's working on that?14:43
pittiseb128: yes, +114:43
seb128pitti, well seems he said it was going to be about 8mb14:43
seb128which is better than 13mb14:43
seb128but still not small14:44
pittiright, and again just for one program14:44
pittiso, the installer option would make more sense than in oneiric14:44
pittithere it was working well, gtk was supported, and the gtk one was trivial in size14:44
dobeywell it's 8MB between pyqt itself, the couple of other libqt4-foo packages, and sso and control-panel qt packages14:45
pittiis the installer written in Qt? or python/gtk?14:46
pittiif it's pyqt, it would be no better, of course14:46
* pitti offline again until release meeting14:55
dobeypitti: installer is already on the CD. it's pygi for now and always has been :)15:05

pittiRiddell: so, there is language-pack-XX-base with the full set16:48

nessitadobey: shall I upload the patch without the tests? I have it working and IRL tested on a french VM16:55
dobeynessita: does it affect the tests that we install now?16:56
nessitadobey: it modifies it, yes, but does not change the class that is being used from the controlpanel test suite16:57
dobeynessita: i think it's probably safe to omit the test changes in the patch then, so we get it uploaded and it's not breaking for everyone.16:58

czajkowskior should I wait for it to come down in the archive ?17:56
kenvandineczajkowski, dist-upgrade should get it17:56
didrockskenvandine: I learnt about it because of an issue with the nvidia driver for me :)17:56
kenvandinei am on nvidia too17:56

didrocksasac: yeah, noticed that as well this morning. we pinged robert about it18:16
asacdidrocks: cool. so the sidebar is not hiding anymore when i full screen it18:16
asacguess that definitelyu fixes the issues with that bar staying hidden :)18:17
didrocksasac: indeed :p18:17
didrocksasac: more seriously, design decision18:17
asacwonder if the old behaviour is still wanted18:17

czajkowskikenvandine: oh it did arrive and yes I can now login and not get an error, but it still doesnt bring me to the desktop it seems to just go black and have a muse pointer.18:20
didrocksasac: indeed, and don't tell now that you preferred intellihide after all :p18:20

ubot2`Launchpad bug 934040 in unity-greeter "unity-greeter crashed with SIGSEGV in background_loader_load()" [High,Confirmed]19:30
brycehpgraner, the input ABI warning is innocuous.  We'll be updating to nvidia 295.20 soonish, and it may go away at that point.19:31
brycehpgraner, and you're a brave man upgrading the day after feature freeze ;-)19:32
pgranerbryceh, yea, I went to nvidia right away when I saw that in the log19:33
pgranerSarvatt, that fixed it19:34
brycehpgraner, yeah, our 1.11 xserver has the input stack from xserver 1.12, but NVIDIA really shouldn't care much about the input side of things.  It's been a few weeks since we upped the X stack with that change.19:36
pgranerOk now gnome-settings-daemon keeps dieing19:36
pgranerbryceh, http://paste.ubuntu.com/846267/19:37
brycehok now that looks like us :-)19:37
brycehactually maybe not, that could just be g-s-d confusion19:38
pgranerbryceh, if I unplug my wacom tablet g-s-d works19:38
brycehyeah, interesting, it's not recognizing your tablet as a tablet19:39
pgranerbryceh, tell me I can blame cnd :)19:39
brycehpgraner, hmm, nothing changed on the X side that'd possibly lead to that.  I think cnd's innocent (unless something changed in the kernel).  Likely is this:19:42
brycehupgrade  gnome-settings-daemon          2012-02-15   09:48:23     3.2.2-0ubuntu17                3.3.5-0ubuntu119:42

brycehseb128, ^^ you will want to look into this; the new wacom code in g-s-d apparently carries some risks19:56

pgranerbryceh, eh, nice way to put it... polish19:59
brycehpgraner, think you need a clickpad to be able to blame anything on cnd currently ;-)19:59
pgranerbryceh, I have one on my lenovo but turn it off, I like the red stick pointer better19:59
seb128bryceh, pgraner: hey, what's the issue? wacom shouldn't be used at all if you don't have a wacom device20:07
pgranerseb128, I do have one20:07
seb128pgraner, what's the issue with it?20:08
pgranerseb128, if its plugged in gnome-settings-daemon crashes20:08

pgranerseb128, yea I downgraded so I'm good for now20:10
brycehseb128, yeah I think it's not critical; not many people have wacoms, and if they do and they MUST use precise, they can downgrade g-s-d20:11

kenvandinei just wanted to make sure mterry saw it20:35
kenvandinenvidia20:35
* bryceh nods20:35
kenvandineit has something to do with loading the background image, when it falls back to the default20:36
brycehkenvandine, robert ancell added multi-monitor support yesterday.  the Design team wants the login screen to be shown as extended rather than mirrored as the default, so he's investigating how to get that working.  Perhaps the bug should go his way?20:50
dobeyhrmm20:53
dobeyanyone knows what happens if two separate packages have gsettings overrides for the same key?20:54
kenvandinebryceh, probably, but i figured mterry was more likely to be around sooner :)20:59

mterrykenvandine, back, and ACK21:38
kenvandinemterry, i re-assigned it to robert_ancell21:38

kenvandineso it is scaling the image pretty big21:48
Sarvattkenvandine: do you use twinview too?21:51

* mterry is confused then and digs deeper. kenvandine: thanks again!22:17
brycehmterry, what's the confusion?22:20
mterrybryceh, the code at first blush seems to do the right thing as long as it thinks there are monitors.  And the above indicates it's getting the right info about monitors.  I'm just missing something stupid the code must be doing22:20
kenvandinemterry, but the crash is in loading the background22:21
kenvandinelooks to me like it is really when it is trying to resize the background22:21
mterrykenvandine, yeah, in loading a background at the various sizes needed, we try to print which sizes we just loaded, and we do that per-monitor size.  So we end up trying to pull a value from a null monitor array22:22

ricotzhello, could someone sponsor this? http://people.ubuntu.com/~ricotz/nm/network-manager_0.9.2.0+git201202161854.8572ecf-0ubuntu3.debdiff22:23
ricotzcyphermox, ^22:23
kenvandinein the trace on the bug report i saw something that listed 3840x108022:23
mterryI think I see it...22:23
cyphermoxricotz: I'll look soon22:24
cyphermoxalready working on it22:24
ricotzcyphermox, i already test-built it22:24
cyphermoxstill22:25
kenvandinemterry, i'd be happy to test a patch22:25
ricotzcyphermox, ok, thanks22:25
cyphermoxricotz: what do you need this for?22:29
cyphermoxjust curious, it's obviously needed22:29
ricotzg-c-c22:29
ricotzbut it also breaks the internal header deps22:29
ricotz(meaning everything which is using nm-types.h breaks)22:30
mterrykenvandine, I was able to reproduce on my own actually, after adjusting test-mode to use two monitors of the same size.  That was the trigger.  So I'm confident I got it.  I'll distro-patch it22:30
kenvandinewoot22:32
cyphermoxricotz: yeah, I ran into that issue with nm-applet too22:36
kenvandinemterry, it would be good to add a multi-monitor option to test mode to test these things22:37
cyphermoxricotz: so I'll take my changelog and my changes, but I'll frankenstein in your name so you get the credits, since you were already done22:37
cyphermoxbrb; gotta run some errands22:37
mterrykenvandine, it has a multi-monitor option in trunk.  but the fake monitors are different sizes... so didn't catch this.  :)22:37
kenvandineah22:37
mterrykenvandine, thanks a bunch for your help!  confirming your monitor list was accurate was helpful22:39
kenvandinemterry, any time22:40
ricotzcyphermox, thanks!22:44
