seb128apw, not that I noticed but I'm on a ssd and I don't watch ios closely, you should open a bug if that happens to you in any case ;-)14:53
apwseb128, it seems to be reading everything in my home directory14:53

apwits been humping my disk for 10m now14:54

seb128apw, report a bug please, what value has XDG_VIDEOS_DIR in .config/user-dirs.dirs?14:55
apw$ grep XDG_VIDEOS_DIR ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs14:56
apwXDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/"14:56
apwthis is one of those where if you remove empty directories which you don't use the desktop loses its mind, isn't it14:56
seb128apw, that might be part of the issue14:56
seb128apw, yes ;-)14:56
apwthat happened with pictures as well, as they were empty i don't have them14:57
seb128well it fallback to the dir under the one your deleted14:57
seb128so Videos -> user dir14:57
seb128it's a bad idea to delete the standard xdg dirs14:57
seb128not sure how we can message that to users though14:57
peaceZcyphermox, my laptop does not enable usb boot, unluckily, thank you for your reply14:57
seb128one way would be to recreate them for you at every login :p14:58
apwor perhaps we could just behave sensibly in the face of resonable user behaviour14:58
apwseb128, if i remake it will the world recover ?14:58
seb128apw, prompt a dialog asking if you are sure to want to remove those directory with a warning of the side effects?14:58
apwseb128, and against what do i file a bug, i'd not like to blame unity when its not14:58
seb128apw, you can just tweak .config/user-dirs.dirs to whatever dir you want the video dir to be14:59
apwseb128, ok i'll do that, i should file a bug, even if it gets closed 'Don't do that', so that others can find the symptoms15:00
seb128apw, right, I'm trying to figure what they do, if they just index the video dir it's technically not a bug on their side, it's not especially new15:00
seb128we keep getting bugs about nautilus getting really slow because people delete "Templates"15:01
apwthe video lens is brand spanking new though isn't it15:01
seb128and the dir fallback to the user dir15:01
seb128then nautilus tries to build templates with your whole userdir content15:01
apwperhaps we should fall back to '.empty' and make one thats empty15:01
seb128apw, right, the issues due to xdg dirs deletions are not new though15:01
apwseb128, oh i probabally have that too15:01
seb128apw, ideally we would lock down the dirs on the fs and don't let users delete them or something15:02
seb128or at least display a warning dialog when somebody does saying they are asking for issues15:02
apwits a bit of a strange paradimn though, as it makes sense to keep everything say to do with ones 'wedding' in one place15:02
seb128apw, well, we could fallback to an empty dir yes, but then you would get i.e no video indexed and not understand why15:03
apwso forceing me to put my videos in one place and pictures in another for an event ... is going to hurt heads15:03
seb128apw, until we get something that doesn't suck to replace inotify we can't do much better15:03
apwwhat is inotify missing which prevents this from working ?15:04
seb128apw, you can't watch your whole user dir15:04
seb128it's limited to 32k watches or something15:04
seb128so basically you have to watch the main dir and go through all the subdir every time something change15:04
seb128you can't tell inotify "just let me know when something in the user dir change"15:04
seb128or rather "let me know what changed"15:05
seb128apw, well in any case yes please open a bug on "unity-lens-video", I will comment on it15:08
apwseb128, i can see why, that would be vastly expensive for the kernel to do15:08
seb128apw, I think it should be easy to just not index if the Video dir is the user dir15:08
apwit would have to know that someone was watching somewhere higher in the hierachy15:08
seb128apw, well the bottom line is that there is no way to monitor files through an user dir which is not io expensive15:08
apwwhcih would be a lock heavy and extremly time consuming operation on every single io15:09
apwseb128, how about we have a Media directory instead15:09
seb128apw, well we have music, pictures and videos15:09
seb128they could be subdir of a media though15:09
seb128apw, but yeah, those could do with some design thinking15:10
apwi wonder what happens if i point them all to Media/ which is what i mean really15:10
seb128thing is that you don't want shotwell to index your music for example15:10
apwso i can have Media/wedding/*15:10
seb128or rhythmbox to index your photos15:10
apwi would hope shotwell would know that a tarball isn't something it can index15:10
apwand same with rhythmbox15:10
seb128I guess design will said that the solution would be to have one application doing music, video and photos15:11
seb128apw, right, they still watch their library though15:11
apwyeah probabally15:11
seb128the more you watch, the more you wake up looking at stuff to see that you don't care about those15:11
seb128anyway15:11
seb128going back to the issue15:12
seb128please open a bug on unity-lens-video saying that it gets confused when the video xdg got deleted15:12
seb128and please subscribe me to the bug ;-)15:12
seb128I doubt we will address the different directories for different medias this cycle15:12
seb128but we can probably handle the cases where some xdg dir needed got deleted15:12
apwno probabally not as i am not sure design agree my concern is valid anyhow15:13
apwin their model i mean15:13
seb128would it be by displaying a dialog at login telling about the issue and the side effect it has an asking you if you want to pick another dir for $MEDIA15:13
* apw will file something, and go remake these directories15:13
seb128login or whenever it detects that the directory is being deleted15:13
apwdoes anyone know what the offical matrix key binding is? as i have it appearing at random15:16
seb128apw, alt15:19
apwseb128, doing what with alt?  single press?15:20
seb128apw, that's a known bug, should be fixed this week, it appear if you alt-tab sometimes or if you alt-screenshot15:20
seb128apw, yes, a simple tap, i.e just press and relax without using other keys15:20
seb128apw, though it's buggy and i.e alt-printscreen or sometimes alt-tab done quickly will trigger it15:20

damgafter that I've installed proprietary though and didn't experience the problem anymore16:44
noodles775damg: yeah, as above, I've just checked my dpkg.log and seen that it's unrelated to a driver issue, but rather that many packages were removed when I just updated (including essential stuff like software-center, gnome-panel, unity-2d etc.)16:47
