chrisccoulsong'ah, what has happened to my keyboard shortcuts??? :(00:32
chrisccoulsonctrl+alt+everything seems to be broken00:32
chrisccoulsonoh, switching workspaces has been hardcoded to a new combination00:34
brycehchrisccoulson, ??00:34
chrisccoulsonbryceh, switching workspaces has been moved from ctrl+alt to super+shift00:35
chrisccoulsoni could hit ctrl_alt nicely with my index finger + little finger00:35
chrisccoulsonbut the new combination is too close together for me to be able to do that comfortably00:35
brycehyeah00:35
chrisccoulsonthat's going to take some serious readjustment :(00:35
brycehbet that's not going to be a popular change00:36
chrisccoulsonprobably not00:36
brycehchrisccoulson, you can still remap the key combo in settings though, right?00:37
Sweetsharkyikes, my fluxbox trained brain will never adopt.00:37
chrisccoulsonbryceh, not according to the unity changelog entry00:37
chrisccoulson"hardcode the new default value for switching between workspaces"00:38
RAOFOooh, ow.00:38
lifeless!00:38
dupondjehardcoded things are always bad :)00:39
chrisccoulsonbryceh, oh, you can still change it00:39
chrisccoulsonand i've just remapped it back again00:39
chrisccoulsonphew :)00:39
brycehhah00:39
smspillazchrisccoulson: its not hardcoded00:49
chrisccoulsonsmspillaz, it seems that the changelog entry is confusing ;)00:49
chrisccoulsonany idea why the bindings were changed?00:49
smspillazchrisccoulson: the default value was just changed and we shipped a settings upgrade file to change the existing setting to super-shift00:49
smspillazchrisccoulson: design00:50
Sweetsharkchrisccoulson: isnt it 1am at your place? what are you doing here still? ;)00:50
chrisccoulsonit's got to be the worst possible combination of modifiers. diagonally positioned and closer together :/00:50
chrisccoulsonSweetshark, yeah, it's nearly 1am here00:50
thumperah... whut?00:50
* thumper uses ctrl+alt lots for workspace shifting00:51
lifelessnot anymore00:51
chrisccoulsonthumper, ditto. but it's now super+shift00:51
thumperwho thought that was a good idea?00:51
chrisccoulsoni've no idea :/00:51
thumperwhat I heard was it would be additional00:51
thumperand advertised00:52
thumperbut wouldn't stop the old one working00:52
RAOFDear coffee.  Why aren't you here?00:58
chrisccoulsonRAOF, oh, please don't talk about coffee. i really want some now, but putting a brew on at 1am probably wouldn't be the greatest idea for me ;)01:00
Sarvattchrisccoulson: 8pm here but my thoughts exactly01:02
chrisccoulsonwhat i need is beer to counter the effects of the caffeine01:03
chrisccoulsonoh01:03
chrisccoulsoni still have a bit of scotch left01:03
chrisccoulsonthat might work :)01:03

strycorehi01:25
strycoreI see I've come to the right place01:25
strycoreI was searching some info about the change of keyboard shortcut for desktop switching01:25
strycoreIs there a thread in a mailing list or a bug in Launchpad explaing why it was changed ? (I couldn't find any)01:26
brycehstrycore, we're as mystified as you, but seems to be a Design team decision01:34
strycoreweird... of course it can easily be changed back to the normal shortcuts, but if someone made that change, they must have had a reason to think it was better01:39
jbichaI'm guessing it's to use the Super key as the basis for more Unity shortcuts01:40
jbichayou could open a bug and hopefully get an explanation when Design closes the bug ;)01:40
strycorewell, there is an actual bug to report, now I get a Keyboard Shortcuts help screen while I'm switching desktops, mixing the <super> long press with desktop switching doesn't work01:44
strycorebug reported, (#940007). I guess I'll go script the keybindings back to their old value, changing them back on every machine with ccsm would be so tedious.02:07
brycehstrycore, hey I'd be interested in that script02:13
strycorebryceh, there you go : https://github.com/strycore/scripts/blob/master/fix-workspace-switcher02:31
brycehstrycore, thanks!02:32
desrtRAOF: how goes?02:35
RAOFdesrt: Sidetracked by mesa.02:35
desrtmesa is tricky like that02:36
RAOFdesrt: I'm pretty sure I can ~1 line patch it to make it work.02:36
desrtRAOF: i've also been seeing weird issues lately with modifiers (particular alt) behaving badly02:36
RAOFUnder shell?02:36
desrti've seen both:02:36
desrt - gnome-terminal stops processing alt (so alt+2, alt+3, etc in irssi stops working)02:37
desrt - (and now) shell stops processing alt+ctrl+(up down) so that pressing these gives 'A' or 'B' in irssi02:37
desrt(ie: the vt100 escapes for the direction)02:37
desrtnot sure if it's a server problem or something else02:38
desrtand it's been happening randomly for a while02:38
desrthum.  odd.  restarting X entirely just failed to fix it.02:39
* desrt tries a reboot...02:39
desrthuh.  that doesn't work either.  fascinating.02:41
strycoredesrt, the keyboard shortcut have changed02:44
desrtoh.02:44
desrtso they have.02:44
desrtthat's pretty random.02:45
strycoreyes totally02:45
desrtwell, the other half of the bug was still happening :)02:45
desrt(although not now)02:45
RAOFdesrt: Again, this is in shell?02:48
desrtyes02:48
desrtand i'm no longer 100% sure that it doesn't go away by restarting shell02:49
desrt(for the other issue)02:49
desrtso it could very easily be a shell bug02:49
RAOFYeah.  It's entirely within shell's capabilities to make that break.02:49
jbichadesrt: which shell version?02:49
desrtjbicha: whatever is in precise right now02:50
desrt3.2.2?02:50
desrtRAOF: i don't really understand how02:50
desrtRAOF: although i can imagine it's possible...02:50
desrtif i press alt+2 then i can understand the shell could possibly intercept that02:50
desrtbut i'd assume it's an all-or-none sort of deal02:50
desrtand to have it modify it to be just-plain-old-2 and deliver that to the app seems odd02:51
desrtin any case, i haven't seen it in a week or so so it might be fixed02:51
desrti'll do some deeper digging if i see it pop up again02:51
RAOFdesrt: It could grab on alt, get the event, decide that it didn't really need it and put the event back in the queue, but accidentally drop the modifier.03:03
RAOFI don't know if it actually *does* that, but it could.03:04
micahgRAOF: can you look at or get someone to look at Bug #77028303:06
ubot2`Launchpad bug 770283 in fglrx-installer "[fglrx]title bar does not update on non-maximized windows" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77028303:06
micahgrequest from #ubuntu+103:06
RAOFOh, man.03:10
RAOFThat's terrible.03:10
desrtRAOF: afaik, passive grabs are an accept-or-reject affair03:12
desrtthere is no 'putting back in the queue'03:12
RAOFThis is possible; I've not got my head around the full panoply of passive/active grab behaviours, and how they're usedb.03:13
TheMusogrrr stupid shortcut changes. :S03:21
desrtTheMuso: srsly.03:21
lifelessRAOF: oh great, so you can fix my touchpad getting stuck with mouse1 down until I shif the app to a different workspace and dance in a circle?03:21
desrtdoes anyone know who/why?03:21
RAOFlifeless: That's probably the drag-lock behaviour :).  Shout at cnd; he's after feedback on it :)03:22
TheMusoc03:22
strycorewait , that a "behavior" and not a bug ?03:23
TheMusoSooooo. Every time I use *cough* super + shift plus arrows to change workspace, the dash comes up... :S03:23
RAOFmicahg: That looks like Sam's already looked at it and come to the same conclusion that I did.  I guess that needs to be forwarded to fglrx.03:23
strycorei thought my touchpad was going crazy or something03:24
lifelessstrycore: ++03:24
lifelessAFAICT something is batshit insane03:24
lifelesscan't break out of it in any reasonable fashion03:24
RAOFlifeless: You should be able to break out of it by tapping on the touchpad in the same app that you started in.03:25
lifelessRAOF: nup03:25
micahgRAOF: so, can you do that or is that someone else03:25
RAOFI think this has actually been turned off in today's synaptics upload, too, so a simple update + server restart might fix it for you :)03:25
TheMusoc03:25
lifelessRAOF: I find that the only reliable way is ctrl-alt-shift right, ctrl-alt left, alt-tab, click03:25
RAOFmicahg: I'll forward it to Alberto.03:25
TheMusogrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr03:25
jbichalifeless: my touchpad problem gets reset magically if I don't touch it for like 5 seconds03:27
lifelessjbicha: I'll try that next time03:27
strycoreyes, it seems to have been removed, I can't do it anymore (which is a good thing)03:27
lifelessjbicha: that worked!03:31
lifelessso, \o/03:31
lifeless(guess you hadn't ever waited -at all- while trying to fix it03:31
TheMusoc03:31
lifelessTheMuso: 'grrrrrrr' ?03:31
TheMusolifeless: The hud is still getting in my way, as well as the change of the workspace switcher keyboard shortcuts.03:32
TheMusoLooks like I have to take time out and find the settings to restore sanity.03:32
lifelessTheMuso: man icepick? :)03:32

pittiGood morning05:56
robert_ancellpitti, hey, how much dbus/gdbus do you know?  Can you think of anything that may cause https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670722?06:49
ubot2`Gnome bug 670722 in gdbus "Using gdbus to make a call, then forking and doing the same in the child process fails" [Normal,Unconfirmed]06:49
pittirobert_ancell: not at that level, I'm afraid :/06:50
pittirobert_ancell: does fork() close the FDs properly? perhaps the dbus one stays open or so}06:51
robert_ancellpitti, yeah, I'm thinking similar things, but I don't know a good way to debug it06:51
pittirobert_ancell: does it work with clone() if you don't inherit FDs?06:52
pittirobert_ancell: you could run it through strace -fvvs1024 -o /tmp/trace to find out whether the child process does a similar action to the bus than the parent one06:52
pittirobert_ancell: so it works if you swap the make_call() and fork()?06:53
robert_ancellpitti, i.e. do the make_call after the fork?  yes06:53
pittiif so, then concurrency doesn't sound like the problem, but some global state that the gdbus call sets up06:53
robert_ancellyes, I also tried making the dbus connection using the bus address separately as it is a singleton, but no luck there06:53
robert_ancellI'll try clone06:54
broderrobert_ancell: what happens if you g_dbus_connection_close_sync in the child, then do g_bus_get_sync?06:56
broder(and does that screw up the parent's connection?)06:56
robert_ancellbroder, do a get/close/get?06:57
broderrobert_ancell: yeah06:57
robert_ancellbroder, yeah, that closes it for the parent06:59
didrocksgood morning06:59
robert_ancellmust be shared07:00
RAOFHey didrocks!07:00
didrocksRAOF: how are you? :)07:00
RAOFI'm wiring up the autofoo for some tests.07:00
RAOFYou can therefore probably guess ;)07:01
didrocksRAOF: ahah, come on, it's Friday evening for you, you don't have to make such pain to yourself :)07:02
pittichrisccoulson: FYI, moving https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-thunderbird-enhancements to Q07:03
pittibonjour didrocks07:04
pittididrocks: I moved https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-one-conf to Q; it's not realistic any more for b1 IMHO07:05
* pitti hugs didrocks07:05
didrocksguten morgen pitti07:05
didrockspitti: hum, I already postponed what I can postpone, IIRC, there was just a "discuss with…" remaining for me, isn't it?07:05
pittididrocks: and lots of blocked items, too07:06
didrockspitti: right, on other teams :/07:06
pittididrocks: well, it doesn't mean that you are forbidden to discuss that point now :)07:06
didrockspitti: I'm thinking that as OneConf doesn't really get any traction, I'll maybe propose removing it next cycle07:06
pittibut I'll stop harassing you about the BP's progress, and we can better focus on the stuff that we need to get done for precise07:06
didrocksyeah :)07:06
pittididrocks, RAOF: "drop check-gl-texture-size from gnome-session startup and add the new compiz plugin for it on upgrade"07:07
pittido we still have this? ISTR that a newer compiz should make this unnecessary?07:07
didrockspitti: so, it's complicated and I need dx and RAOF discussing together I guess07:08
didrockspitti: some part of dx tells "it just need a new plugin to activate on upgrade"07:08
didrocksother part is telling "that won't fix anything"07:08
RAOFThat part of DX is lying.07:08
didrocksso I need to put them in a room, and discussing :)07:08
didrocksRAOF: which one? ;)07:08
RAOFThe "just enable copy_to_texture" side.07:09
didrocksah, so yeah, the 1st one :)07:09
RAOFBecause Unity is all about FBOs, and they're not covered by copy to texture.07:09
didrocksthat's why, I need to have a clear answer, I dont want to enable a new plugin for anything  :p07:09
didrocksnothing*07:09
RAOFSo *compiz* will work if we enable copy to texture, but *unity* won't.07:09
pittiwell, it seems unity boot speed is a lost cause anyway07:09
RAOFAlso known as: not very useful for us!07:09
didrockspitti: I'm trying to get some data, should have them next week07:10
pitticheers07:10
didrockspitti: I wanted for the new compiz to land07:10
didrockswaited*07:10
didrocksRAOF: agreed07:10
pittiRAOF: libraw/dcraw conversion to lcms2, is that still realistic? (bug 885324)07:10
ubot2`Launchpad bug 885324 in libkdcraw "Completely replace lcms1 by lcms2 in Ubuntu" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88532407:10
didrocksRAOF: so, we need, you, jay, sam and david discussing, do you want a meeting?07:11
didrocksRAOF: or I can set up a mail thread07:11
pittiRAOF: err, libraw is done, I mean dcraw07:11
pittiRAOF: ... which is in universe and thus not very interesting, nevermind07:11
didrockspitti: just to sum up, basically, as the new plugin won't fix anything, we will still need the check-gl-texture-size script07:12
pittididrocks: ok; so I guess this should be BLOCKED?07:12
didrockspitti: yeah, that would make sense07:12
didrocksRAOF: oh, thinking about it, check-gl-texture-size can be run as part of the nux checker? (and thus, be run in lightdm if no autologin)07:13
didrocksto fallback to unity-2d07:13
RAOFdidrocks: No, that doesn't work, because lightdm is not necessarily running at the same resolution as the user's session.07:15
RAOFIndeed, in the cases where check-gl-texture-size applies, it almost certainly *isn't* running at the same resolution, because we default to clone for lightdm.07:16
didrocksRAOF: you're right, ok, we can't win some time here :(07:17
pittiSweetshark: I sorted out most of the new LibO promotions this morning, but some libs need work07:24
pittiSweetshark: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.svg is a rather interesting graph to look at right now :)07:24
pittiSweetshark: can you work on libexttextcat (drop automake1.7) and libloader (drop the recommends) today?07:24
pittiSweetshark: libjcommon-java is in main now, it's just due to a germinate problem that it's still shown there, so nevermind that one07:25
didrockswaow, not so much cry on the keybings change for switching ws on bug reports, good surprise :)07:39
rickspencer3hey pitti looks like the armhf archive is getting a bit cleaned up, nice!07:40
pittiSweetshark: oh, and we need a libapache-poi-java MIR07:41

=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
tkamppeterpitti, hi08:21
pittihello tkamppeter08:23
tkamppeterpitti, you have answered to some cups-update-error bugs ands CUPS crashed. It is due to bug 911436.08:25
ubot2`Launchpad bug 911436 in p11-kit "https crashed with SIGSEGV in lookup_or_create_bucket()" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91143608:25
pittitkamppeter: oh, I see; thanks! can you please duplicate it then?08:25
tkamppeterpitti, most of these duplicates are CUPS crashers.08:26
tkamppeterpitti, will do. I hope that this bug will get fixed in Precise. I get around 5 new bug reports a day due to this bug.08:29
tkamppeterpitti, there seems also to be a problem with Apport. If the maintainer scripts of a package cause something to crash, there is only a package bug report, no crash bug report with the backtrace.08:30
pittitkamppeter: I think there's _also_ a crash report08:30
tkamppeterpitti, then users see only the package failure and ignore the crash report.08:31
pittitkamppeter: no, but due to our client-side duplicate detection they won't be reported again08:31
tkamppeterpitti, I get only the package failure bug reports.08:31
tkamppeterpitti, so the crash reports are caught by bug 911436? This bug has 156 me-too's. Are they generated by tghe crash reports it caught?08:33
ubot2`Launchpad bug 911436 in p11-kit "https crashed with SIGSEGV in lookup_or_create_bucket()" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/91143608:33
pittitkamppeter: ideally they'd be caught client-side, but some duplicates still get through08:35
Sweetsharkmoin!08:38
pittimoin Sweetshark!08:38
tkamppeterpitti, only these package bugs do not get caught. Is there no automatic duplicate detection for package bugs?08:39
pittitkamppeter: no, unfortunately not; it's not that easy to automatically pick up the real error from the apt output08:40
pittie. g. bluez-cups failed, but that was due to cups, and that was due to the crash08:40
micahgif there is a pattern, you can write a bug pattern for it08:40
pittiwe have a lot of causes like that; it usually needs some human brain to untangle08:40
pittiSweetshark: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.svg is updated now, but for some reason it's still missing the libapache-poi-java package08:42
pittiperhaps it gets confused due to having such a large graph08:42
pittiSweetshark: so I'd suggest to fix libloader first to build without all the maven/universe stuff, then it should clear up quite a bit08:43
* Sweetshark gets lots in the forest.08:43
pittiSweetshark: just look at libloader and libreoffice08:44
pittiSweetshark: probably best if you download the source, and run check-mir; it'll tell you the missing b-deps08:44
tkamppeterpitti, so make them fixing bug 911436.08:47

chrisccoulsonin addition to shift not being on the bottom edge of the keyboard.......09:20
didrockschrisccoulson: it's the last day I try to get accustomed to it, if after 3 days, I can't, I'll as well change in g-c-c (that perfectly work for all keybindings now \o/)09:20
didrockschrisccoulson: the design idea is to use "Super" as a pivot between Shift and Alt09:20
didrockschrisccoulson: I don't buy it…09:21
chrisccoulsondidrocks, oh, i changed it back after 30 minutes09:21
didrockschrisccoulson: yeah, seems I like pain :)09:21
chrisccoulsonyeah, i don't buy it either. i think that shift + super is probably the worse possible modifier combination09:21
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure if that's true on all layouts09:21
didrockschrisccoulson: I think the layout is mostly the same for those keys independent of the keyboard09:22
chrisccoulsonctrl+shift would even have been better. at least those are on the same edge :)09:22
pittifor me ctrl+alt are next to each other; super and shift are both far away from ctrl/alt09:22
pittibut I realize I'm a special case here09:22
pittibut I still question the value of breaking keybindings which went into people's muscle memory for years09:22
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, super+shift are diagonal to each other here, and spaced too close for me to hit comfortably09:23
chrisccoulsonperhaps that is just a muscle memory issue though09:23
chrisccoulsonbut not being on the same edge kinda sucks09:23
pittiin the end I really want vim keys, I guess09:24
pitti"g4" to go to desktop #4, or "gk" to go up09:24
pittithere will always be people for which three-key chords are uncomfortable or impossible to use09:25
chrisccoulsonyeah, i guess so09:25
pittiand unfortunately the ws switcher in the launcher is rather useless09:26
chrisccoulsonyeah, it is. which is why this combination is probably the one i use the most :)09:26
pittiit should just switch desktops when you click on the one you want, not just zoom out09:26
didrockspitti: and it's work in progress, soon, it will be 4 clicks to switch between ws09:28
pittididrocks: you are kidding, right?09:28
didrocks(it's the initial plan from the beginning, just never was implemented)09:28
didrockspitti: oh, I'm not09:28
pittiso after adding useless stuff to the launcher, breaking FFM, breaking the launcher's hiding behaviour, breaking people's muscle memory and already breaking WS switching with the mouse enough this will be the next big thigng?09:29
pittiDesign team, pretty please stop the madness!09:29
chrisccoulson+1000 :-)09:29
chrisccoulsondidrocks, even with the WS switcher today, it is 3 clicks to change workspaces. how do they plan to add another click in there?09:31
didrockschrisccoulson: the first view will be a zoom out of the current ws with all the windows on it exposed09:31
pittiplus a two second pause for the launcher to reveal, plus moving your mouse to the other screen end to select the area09:31
didrocksthen, you click behind to have the actual view09:31
didrockscurrent*09:31
pittichrisccoulson, didrocks: also, I have to double-click to select the ws; single-click does nothing but flash a bit09:32
didrockspitti: you mean, in ws view mode?09:32
pittiyes09:32
didrockspitti: that only "select" the ws09:32
didrockswhich is useless09:32
didrocksbut wanted for now09:32
pittiwell, it's already useless, it doesn't matter09:32
pittiit should just switch right when I click in the launcher09:33
pittias GNOME and every other desktop does09:33
didrockspitti: I can't say anything else that it was discussed for hours?09:33
pittiI have the feeling they are trying really hard to make people stop using multiple ws because they hate it09:33

didrocksseb128: what keybinding are you using?09:41
seb128didrocks, alt-& alt-é alt-"09:41
seb128didrocks, i.e alt and the number on the french keyboard09:41
seb128pitti, hey pitti09:42
seb128wtf09:42
didrocksseb128: working here09:42
didrocksalt-& alt-é alt-"09:42
seb128if I press alt in the keybinding editor it sends me to the next workspace09:42
didrocksseb128: can't it be related to your keyboard issue?09:42
seb128like I edit and want to type alt-& when I press alt I'm changed ws09:42
seb128didrocks, I fixed my keymap, could be, but I restarted my session like 5 times to make sure I didn't hit a race or anything before starting IRC because those were not working09:43
seb128well if that's only me don't bother for now, I will figure it out09:43
pittididrocks: how much effort would it be to distro-patch the ws switcher keybindings back to ctrl+alt?09:43
didrocksseb128: hum, weird, you should have another keybinding conflict maybe?09:44
seb128I'm puzzled that pressing alt when in edit mode send me to ws2 though09:44
didrockspitti: well, not a lot, updating metacity and compiz, uploading a new unity but I would rather that we discuss with design first09:44
pittididrocks: just OOI; it's not just a schema change in metacity?09:44
didrocksseb128: yeah, didn't see any other report about it until now09:44
seb128but the edit is still active since if I keep alt and press & it displays me a warning that the keybinding is already assigned to go to ws109:44
didrockspitti: no, we need to change that in metacity and compiz, otherwise, compiz is puzzled, can't match the right keys09:45
didrockspitti: and unity has some hardcoded values…09:45
pittididrocks: so if I change them in g-c-c, it writes the values to metacity's AND unity's settings?09:45
didrockspitti: metacity and compiz, yeah09:46
didrockspitti: but if you press super09:46
didrocksyou will still see "Super + Shift + arrows"09:46
didrocksbecause it's hardcoded09:46
* didrocks opened a bug about it09:46
didrocksseb128: tried on my second machine I did the update, don't have the issue as well :/09:46
didrockspitti: I would say, we can keep it for beta1, ask people to comment on a bug report about this issue09:47
didrockspitti: and see how much feedback we get09:47
seb128didrocks, it's the most bizarre thing ever, this alt in the keybinding editor changing ws09:47

didrocksseb128: we are discussing about the keybinding switching ws change09:48
didrocksso it's rather "what it doesn't do anymore" :)09:48
pittiseb128: ctrl+alt+cursor I mean09:48
pittiseb128: instead of pointlessly breaking years old muscle memory for everyoen09:48
seb128you want to revert it? why?09:49
Sweetsharkrickspencer3: please, please do! ;P09:49
pittididrocks: yes, agreed09:49

seb128pitti, I don't care much, I don't agree on "we can't change behaviour or default because of muscle memory from old geek users"09:49

seb128pitti, it's only a config, it's easy to tweak09:50
pittikeybindings are not geek09:50

seb128pitti, well I've just no strong opinion, I think it's reasonable to be able to do changes like that if we think the new default are better09:50
seb128it's not like it was hard to put it back to the old values09:51
seb128we somewhat have too much resistance to change imho (which is normal, not discussing that)09:51
chrisccoulsonseb128, the issue is that the new values aren't really any better, at least not on my keyboard :(09:51
chrisccoulsonctrl+alt are on the same edge and spaced a sensible distance apart09:52
chrisccoulsonsuper+shift are diagonal to each other, too close together and not on the same edge09:52
chrisccoulsonit's more difficult to hit them ;)09:52
seb128on the other side I didn't understand the point of that specific change09:52
seb128chrisccoulson, right, agreed on that09:52
seb128but cf the discussion about the launcher being hidden or not the other day09:52
seb128I think we are quite resistant to any behaviour or default change ;-)09:53
seb128I tend to agree that the keybinding change is stupid though09:53
seb128I though they wanted to do super-arrows09:53
seb128i.e without shift09:53
didrocksno super + arrows are used to maximize/restore/semi maximize left or right09:53

seb128rickspencer3, yeah, I'm unsure about that, I helped didrocks once to review a bit of the unity-checkbox testing and it rather convinced me it was a non working approch09:58
rickspencer3seb128, that's a bit harsh09:59
rickspencer3I think they got lots of good results09:59
seb128rickspencer3, sorry but I was about to say what, and that's my personal view, no offense to the work from others09:59
rickspencer3I think we should have a set of nice manual tests so people can ensure that applications are working properly09:59
pittichrisccoulson: I discussed with skaet, pre-approved for landing this today still10:00
seb128I spent like 1.5 hour to read 15% of a 1500 lines of feedback were 90% was "noise", ie random comment or known issue, or same stuff said several times in different way10:00
pittichrisccoulson: as we really need the space10:00
chrisccoulsonpitti - cool, thanks10:00
seb128rickspencer3, it's very long and tedious work and I didn't feel the feedback I got from it was bringing infos over the bug reports we have10:00
seb128rickspencer3, and I find parsing coming bug email and looking at bug list easier than spending 5 hours reviewing the checkbox tests10:01
rickspencer3seb128, it shouldn't take 5 hours10:01
seb128rickspencer3, but maybe have 1 person having to read 1500 lines of checkbox tests is not the way to go10:01
rickspencer3that's not because of checkbox if it does10:01
didrocksthat's true that reading comments is tedious10:01
seb128rickspencer3, oh, I didn't say it was "because of checkbox"10:01
seb128rickspencer3, I just find the launchpad bugs providing the infos I need in an easier to digest way10:02
didrocksok, so it seems people are just complaining, requiring things, but don't offer any solution…10:03
pittiyay http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/precise_probs.html10:03
seb128rickspencer3, but by all mean don't take it as an issue with checkbox, it's first not one, and second I say I'm not fit to deal with hours or comments reading, it just doesn't work with me10:03

seb128I guess 2d will have to get invisible borders or something as well10:35
seb128I guess the focus is 3d10:35
seb128pitti, in gtk3 they are set on or off by the theming10:36

ogra_ah, i thought its the greek word for a harry potter magic potion :)13:40
didrocksBahah :)13:41
ogra_i dont think he uses any compression there :)13:41
didrocksso, applying the 2 patches on the armel build only, isn't it?13:41
didrocksand they are reponsible for them :)13:41
ogra_right13:41
ogra_well, responsibility is shared ...13:41
didrockshum, how shared?13:42
ogra_i said i'd take the blame for packaging bits13:42
ogra_they are responsible for the code13:42
didrocksyeah, make sense :)13:42
ogra_in any case you shouldnt be bothered13:42
didrocksI think I read something about applying some patch only on some arch with quilt13:42
ogra_(yet ... once it is merged and with the new arm handling poluicy, -desktop will be responsible for all desktop arm bits soon)13:43
didrocksnew arm handling policy?13:44
ogra_you dont read your mails, eh ?13:45
didrockswell, once it's merged upstream no worry :)13:45
ogra_ubuntu-arm is gone ... not existing anymore13:45
s9iper1anybody knows how can i downgrade  back to empathy 3.3.4  from 3.3.5  ?13:45
didrocksogra_: I try to, but with all the ML, I maybe miss that one, which ML?13:45
ogra_platform had a mail from victor13:45
didrockspitti: ah, I didn't get to the platform ML yet :)13:46
didrocksoupss, ogra_ ^13:46
ogra_heh13:46
didrockslet me look13:46
ogra_the plan is to treat arm like x86 and amd64 ... no special forces/special cases anymore for it13:46
ogra_which means if you guys pull in a mono app, you have to make sure it runs on arm too13:47
didrocksogra_: ah, got it :)13:47
ogra_(or fix LibO if it doesnt work on arm etc...)13:47
didrocksogra_: well, for "fixing", we will need hw :)13:48
didrocksto run them13:49
pittiubuntu on your phone! *caugh*13:49
ogra_yeah, so your manager should give you pandaboards :)13:49
* pitti really off now, bbl13:49
didrocksogra_: but ok, got it, but for the patch, as long as it's not merged upstream, the responsability are defined? :p13:49
ogra_yeah, dont worry13:49
didrocksok ;)13:49
ogra_and even after, feel free to contact me in the foundations team if there are arm issues ;)13:49
ogra_its not like the arm team members vanished from the face of the earth ... we just got spread across all platform teams13:50
ogra_(apart from desktop apparently)13:50
didrocksso we are getting nobody in? weird13:51
ogra_ask your manager :)13:52

kenvandinepitti, the empathy 3.3.90 upload will take some time, it requires a new package (really a renamed one)15:48
kenvandinefarsight was renamed farstream, new upstream project15:49
kenvandinebut mostly the same code15:50
kenvandineand it requires gnome-contacts15:50
pittikenvandine: ah, can you revert the clutter build dep?15:53
jbichaisn't that only needed for empathy-call?15:53
jbicha*that = clutter15:54
kenvandinepitti, it doesn't add a new build dep15:54
kenvandinenot for clutter15:54
pittikenvandine: I diffed configure, and it looked like it15:54
kenvandinehumm15:54
kenvandinei'll look15:54
kenvandineaccording to the NEWS file it requires the same version it did before15:55
kenvandinepitti, oh they did bump the clutter required version, but it is still lower than what we have in main15:58
pittikenvandine: ah, ok; some part of me thought clutter was in universe15:58
kenvandinenope :)15:58
kenvandineto keep clutter off the CD i split empathy-call into a separate package15:58
kenvandinewhich is the only part that requires it15:59
kenvandinei need to confirm that the old call interface still works if empathy-call isn't installed though :)15:59
kenvandinethe painful change is really the need for a new package :(15:59
kenvandinei packaged it yesterday, i'll upload it today16:00
kenvandineshould be an easy mir, it is basically a rename from the old farsight package16:00
pittikenvandine: that doesn't need a formal mir16:02
kenvandinecool16:02
pittikenvandine: ah, farsight vs. farstream? yeah, I noticed16:02

cyphermoxseb128: question about   * debian/patches/lp829673_hide_nm-applet.patch:16:49
cyphermoxI'm seeing this is dropped, does that mean the other changes for the same checkbox in bluetooth and sound will also be dropped?16:49
seb128cyphermox, will -> have been16:50
seb128cyphermox, and yes16:50
cyphermoxcool16:50
Riddellkenvandine: why is it important for beta 1?16:50
seb128cyphermox, sorry for the time wasted adding the option16:50
seb128cyphermox, but I guess the ui was not the most difficult bit16:50
cyphermoxI had basically designed the patch with consistency on that aspect, hence the question :)16:50
cyphermoxseb128: no, it wasn't16:50
seb128cyphermox, design communication mismatches16:51
cyphermoxreally no problem w/r/t dropping, it's a little surprising, but there *is* still the gconf key to deal with that16:51
cyphermoxand I'm clearly not the intended audience for such a feature :)16:51
seb128;-)16:51
seb128cyphermox, well I think they decided that on desktop very few users need place in their panels16:52
seb128cyphermox, I guess the option will be useful on other form factors16:52
cyphermoxmakes sense16:52
cyphermoxwhich is what i've been saying all along on the relevant bug report to justify not adding the feature yet :D16:52
cyphermoxon the bright side this will drop by a little the gconf usage in g-c-c16:52
cyphermoxI'll make sure we aggressively transition nm-applet and NM away from any gconf if possible for next cycle, it should be easy enough to do16:53
kenvandineRiddell, it fixes a really annoying regression and it is a simple fix16:54
kenvandineparticularly for the first login experience16:55
seb128cyphermox, oh yeah, you will probably hear about me on that next cycle16:56
seb128cyphermox, the gconf users are shrinking and you are in the remaining set16:56
seb128cyphermox, I will probably do a push to drop it from the CD next cycle16:56
seb128kenvandine, hey16:59
seb128kenvandine, sorry I just remembered that I told you I would look at farsight yesterday and totally forgot that17:00
seb128kenvandine, do you still want me to have a look? where is it again? ;-)17:00
cyphermoxseb128: gconf> should be easy enough; there's only like, 5 or 6 keys in total. That's one of the things I was considering hacking on during UDS17:02
seb128cyphermox, I'm surprised upstream didn't do it yet17:03
cyphermoxseb128: upstream largely moved to gnome-shell for network management now17:04
seb128yeah, makes sense...17:04
kenvandineseb128, lp:~ken-vandine/+junk/farstream17:06
seb128kenvandine, thanks17:06
kenvandineseb128, since the upstream project is really a rename from farsight should i include the old changelog?17:07
pittiLaney, seb128: do we want to seed libproxy1-plugin-gsettings and libproxy1-plugin-networkmanager?17:07
seb128kenvandine, I would keep the packaging just dch and change the name in the changelog for the new upload17:08
seb128pitti, Laney: I've no clue about proxy and libproxy sorry17:08
seb128kenvandine, ^ maybe have an idea17:08
seb128I think gwibber was one of the libproxy users?17:08
kenvandinenot really17:08
kenvandineit is still disabled in gwibber17:09
kenvandinesince it causes nasty crashes17:09
pittididrocks: do you know why unity-2d-launcher unity-2d-places want to go to universe now? (for some days already)17:09
pittididrocks: I think apt-get autoremove also killed it from my system17:09
kenvandinepitti, i think those got renamed to unity-2d-shell17:09
didrockspitti: those are transitional packages17:09
didrocksyeah, unity-2d-shell is the new hot stuff :)17:09
pittididrocks: ah, so we should seed them in precise to keep them in main for upgrades, and drop them in Q17:09
didrockspitti: indeed, can do17:10
seb128pitti, btw I guess that now is too late to get a ffe mir for gnome-contacts and get it on the CD for beta right?17:10
pittiseb128: did that become useful now?17:10
seb128kenvandine, do you aim at landing the new empathy for beta btw? I guess no17:10
seb128pitti, new empathy will depends on it to show contact details17:10
seb128pitti, well "depends", it will pkgkit install it if needed and not there17:10
seb128pitti, it's in GNOME for 2 cycles I guess it's somewhat working, so I didn't play with it much17:11
didrockspitti: I never did that btw for transitional packages, didn't think about the main -> only main upgrade17:12
pittiseb128: I did play with it perhaps two months ago, and back then it didn't do anything the empathy contact list couldn't do as well17:12
kenvandineseb128, doesn't have to be in for beta, but it might be nice to17:12
pittididrocks: I'll sort it out17:12
didrocksso I have more than just that, some zg stuff, and such17:12
didrockspitti: just for my info, what seed should be used?17:12
didrockssupported?17:12
kenvandinepitti, they removed the duplicate functionality in empathy and rely on gnome-contacts now17:12
* didrocks sees transitional packages in supported17:13
pittididrocks: supported, at the bottom, "Transitional packages"17:14
didrockspitti: yeah, I'm doing that and catching up on others then17:14
didrockslike netbook-launcher17:14
pittididrocks: ah, you want to?17:15
didrockspitti: yeah, I will keep that in my mind that way :)17:15
pittididrocks: I committed the old printer driver package names17:15
pittididrocks: so, all your's now17:15
didrockspitti: thanks :)17:15
pittiI demoted the other bits from http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt17:15
pittiso after that it should be very short17:15
didrocksnetbook-launcher was still on the dvd seed, removing17:16
didrocksat least, learning something this EOW ;) didn't think about main -> keeping only main migration17:16

dobeywhy is aptdaemon apparently not a) actaully updating the cache, and b) instlaling the packages it was told to install. meh17:34
hallynwould this be the right place to ask for unity quick-launch tips?17:40
Laneykenvandine: even the new version?17:41
kenvandineLaney, yes17:42
Laneypitti: seb128: I don't know how they should get out — I thought maybe as Recommends of those packages, but users should have them, yeah.17:42
Laneyweird. would be good to debug that.17:42
hallyni've got an icon i nlauncher for a script which does 'exec gnome-terminal -x (somecommand)'.  i want unity to bring up that window when i hit alt-N for that icon.17:42
hallynbut it sees it as a gnome-termainl like others17:42
kenvandineLaney, upstream has confirmed the bug and gave up on trying to fix it :/17:42
Laney:(17:42
hallynhm, maybe -t would help me17:43
dobeyhallyn: in the .desktop file for that launcher, add StartupWMClass="yourmagiccommand"17:44
hallyndobey: thanks!17:44
dobeywithout the quotes, and with the unique id17:44
hallynwait.17:44
hallynthe command doesn't qhave to be precisely what's in /proc/$$/cmdline does it?17:44
dobeyoh that probably won't work though17:44
dobeysince the window will have the terminal's wmclass17:44
kenvandineLaney, http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/issues/detail?id=14617:45
dobeyi'm not sure there's a way to set the wmclass for the terminal in that way17:45
hallyn(looking ot see if wmctrl can help me)17:46
dobeyhallyn: also, gnome-terminal is a single process application, so you can't really have one terminal be "this app" and another terminal be just a terminal, in that sense17:46
hallynah.  i see.17:46
hallynso maybe i'd have better luck with rxvt17:47
dobeyhallyn: you could, however, write a python script instead, which just embedded a vte widget in a GtkWindow, and ran your app inside it17:47
dobeyhallyn: or just use a different terminal17:47
dobeybut only for that app, as other terminals may have similar issues with single process and wmclass stuff17:47
hallynwmclass yeah, single process, at least i can pick a decent terminal that doesn't do that17:53
hallynthanks17:53
* kenvandine decides doing some lucid -> precise upgrade testing could be a fun way to spend the afternoon17:56
hallyn(it's *so* tempting to go the python route.)17:58
