ajmitchthomi: did you see if anything else needed to be grabbed from the unity process before I kill it? it's gone even weirder now ;)00:24
thomiajmitch: may as well kill it00:25
ajmitchthomi: http://vps.ajmitch.net.nz/~ajmitch/WeirdShit.png00:26
thomiyeah.00:27
thomithat's messed up00:27
ajmitchunity --replace gets rid of the white bar, but doesn't fix the icon placement00:27
thumperajmitch: what version are you using?00:28
ajmitchcurrently have 5.4.0-0ubutnu2 installed00:28
thumperI used to see the icon mashing on oneiric00:28
thumpernot seen it on precise00:28
ajmitchthumper: yeah, I saw the same on natty & oneiric, this is the first time it's happened on precise00:28
thumperalso, I notice you have the same screen corruption as jason warner00:28
ajmitchglad I'm not the only one :)00:29
thumperI'll get someone to talk to you about that shortly00:29

thumperajmitch: what is that indicator that draws the graphs?00:40
ajmitchsystem load indicator, let me get the package name00:40
ajmitchindicator-multiload00:40
thumperajmitch: can I get you to disable it and see if it removes your white visual glitch?00:41
ajmitchthumper: sorry, but I did 'unity --replace' about 15 minutes ago & it killed the white visual glitch00:42
mhall119where does unity keep it's icon cache?00:42
thumpermhall119: what do you mean?00:43
thumperajmitch: next time it happens, can I get you to try to disable the indicator?00:43
thumperajmitch: also, how often does it occur?00:43
mhall119thumper: I'm trying to use a different icon for alt-tab switching00:43
ajmitchthumper: sure, this is the first time I've seen it happen00:43
thumperajmitch: and does the visual glitch change?00:43
snadgei see display corruption on unity2d xorg-edgers :P its not bad tho just white line where the tabs are in firefox00:43
thumpermhall119: what do you mean?00:43
ajmitchwhite visual glitch also appeared on each desktop, but disappeared while changing desktop00:44
snadgeive purged edgers now, just wanted to test the new radeon driver.. and im back on failgrx00:44
mhall119thumper: so calibre uses a 107x107 icon, but ships with a 512x512 image by a different name00:44
mhall119I'm trying to get it to use the bigger one00:44
ajmitchclicking on it with xwininfo showed the window behind it, fwiw00:44
thumpermhall119: I think it gets the info from the desktop file00:44
snadgelinsux, great for servers, fail for desktops since 1991 :P00:45
mhall119thumper: right, but it caches it somewhere when it needs to scale it,right?00:45
thumpermhall119: in memory, sure00:45
thumpermhall119: I think you'd need to restart unity if you changed the image00:45
* thumper takes away snadge's geek card00:45
snadgehey ive been using it as a desktop pretty much for that long00:46
* thumper hands snadge a pedant card instead00:46
snadgei expect graphical glitches and graphics driver failures, id be shocked if they didnt exist ;)00:47
thumpera gold one for 20 years service00:47
snadgeim thinking of just surrendering and getting a failvidia card, but im saved by extreme laziness and apathy00:49
snadgeplus maybe the next catalyst will work properly. *cough*00:51
snadgeive been saying that for the past 2 years, two steps forward, one step back.. imroves, just enough to give you a false sense of hope ;) then a new version of xorg or compiz etc will cause it to fail in a different way.. and evryone will point the finger at everyone else00:53
snadgeits a driver problem.. its an xorg problem.. its a compiz problem.. i dont care whos problem it is, just effing fix it already :P00:54
jalcinesnadge: lol01:06
snadgeif only we could get more people to care about linux on the desktop01:07
snadgeits a catch 22, people dont use it because of crap like that AND because applications dev wont write apps for it BECAUSE people dont use it01:07
snadgebugs dont get fixed because not enough people care, which only serves to make the problem worse :/01:10
jalcinesnadge: woah, that's a negative.01:16
jalcinethe reason why bugs don't get fixed vary greatly.01:16
jalcinesomeone could be having a marriage01:16
jalcineor isn't able to solve the problem01:16
jalcineor the people who used to maintain that part of the code is currently giving their kid the birds and the bee's talk.01:16

mhr3davidcalle, no support for artwork? :/08:53
mhr3nothing adding albums to the results?08:54
smbdidrocks, It seems the latest update stole my ability to switch apps. The weird things is that in settings->keyboard->shortcuts->navigation->Switch applications it is set to alt-tab, but in /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/alt_tab_next_window it is disabled...08:55
davidcallemhr3, only artwork embedded in files. There is this Python I wasn't able to port to get art : http://paste.ubuntu.com/882947/08:56
didrockssmb: this key is not used for that08:56
didrockssmb: what do you mean by "stole my ability to switch apps?"08:56
didrocksalt-tab doesn't appear?08:56
smbdidrocks, That alt-tab does not bring up the application switcher for me anymore08:57
didrockssmb: do you have the HUD set to "alt"08:57
didrocks?08:57
didrocksor did you change it?08:57
davidcallemhr3 and albums need tree index to be implemented first, as it needs results from tracks having the same Album field.08:57
smbdidrocks, No, I did disable it when it was driving me mental. Maybe you remember08:57
didrockssmb: so you disabled it?08:58
didrockssmb: that's a known issue, you have to set it back to alt for alt-tab to work08:58
didrockssmb: you don't have anymore the "tap" issue, it's fixed in 5.608:58

kenvandinemhr3, is there  a way to check if a specific ModelIter is in a model before using it?13:32
kenvandinemhr3, or should i just wrap it with a try/catch?13:32
didrocksgreyback|lunch: when you have some time, can you please add https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/929506 to 5.8 release target?13:46
ubot5Ubuntu bug 929506 in unity-2d "lenses are loaded on start, should be lazy loaded" [High,Confirmed]13:46
mhr3kenvandine, not really, you should make sure you dont keep invalid ModelIters around - the only way to check it is by iterating through the whole model and comparing if any of the iters is the one you have13:49
didrocksgreyback|lunch: same for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/89164813:49
ubot5Ubuntu bug 891648 in unity-2d (Ubuntu) "Dash - update Dash keyboard shortcuts so the 'CTRL + TAB' switches between Lenses and 'TAB' by itself moves the focus between categories " [High,Confirmed]13:49
kenvandinemhr3, ok, i think just a try/catch will do then13:50
kenvandinethx13:50
mhr3kenvandine, an invalid modeliter can cause a crash, try catch is not good enough13:51
kenvandineugh13:52
mhr3kenvandine, but you can just connect to row-removed and if you see an iter you saved somewhere, get rid of it13:53

mhr3you shouldn't be really doing that ^^, but depends on your use case15:20
mhall119mhr3: also, I'm using hyphens in my signal names, but the API show underscores, are they both correct?15:20
mhall119mhr3: shouldn't be doing what?15:21
mhr3hyphens are usually more correct, but in most cases both should work15:26
