RAOFI'll see if I can whip something up.00:04
cndRAOF, that would be cool00:05
* RAOF gets frustrated with technology and goes to get some food.00:07
brycehRAOF, hah I just had the exact same thought00:09
cndanyone know how to see a diff of a whole file00:56
cndi.e. with all context00:56
cndbzr diff that is00:57
cndgot it00:59
cnd--diff-options "-U -1"00:59
cndRAOF, do you have an idea of when you might be able to turn around a makefile snippet?01:29
cndthis is all a dependency for fixing utouch tests01:29
cndwhich badly need xorg-gtest to work again :)01:29
RAOFAaah :)01:30
* RAOF fires up emacs.01:30
cndRAOF, if it's a day or two, then that's not a problem01:30
cndotherwise, I think we need to figure out a contingency plan01:31
RAOFShouldn't be that long.01:31
cndok01:32
cndin the meantime, I'm manually installing libgtest-dev_1.6.0-1ubuntu1 :)01:33

broderhmm, tap-to-click seems to keep getting turned on when i boot up, even though the setting is off. if i open the capplet and toggle the setting on and off, then i stop getting tap-to-click. what should i file a bug against?17:29
tjaaltonbroder: gnome-settings-daemon is my bet17:31
broderhmm, yeah. i think you're right. i don't see a bug in the code, though. bah17:36
Sarvattbroder: do you have a clickpad?18:04
Sarvattsynclient -l | grep ClickPad18:04
broderSarvatt: no18:04
broder"SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"18:04
Sarvattbroder: yeah a synaptics clickpad I meant, i just noticed ClickPad=1 seems to unconditionally enable tap to click18:05
broderit's not a clickpad, and synclient isn't identifying it as one18:05
Sarvattoh you use older releases don't ya18:05
broderi'm actually on precise finally :)18:06
broder(and i'm in the process of upgrading the product i work on at work to oneiric, so i'll be totally off the unreasonably old releases)18:06
Sarvattbroder: is the g-s-d mouse plugin enabled? i had it (along with xrandr and xsettings) mysteriously get disabled a few times on package upgrades18:08
Sarvattorg/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/mouse in dconf-editor18:08
broderyep, it's active18:08
broderturning tap-to-click on and then back off in gnomecc seems to fix it until the next reboot18:09
seb128Sarvatt, I doubt it's on upgrade18:11
seb128Sarvatt, did you ever run unity-greeter in your session?18:11
seb128Sarvatt, it does that for you, those plugins are disabled in the greeter, and when run in your session they disable them for your user18:11
Sarvattseb128: does --test-mode count?18:11
seb128yes18:11
Sarvattyep indeed that was the problem then!18:11
Sarvattthanks, was really stumping me why it happens18:12
seb128"known bug" ;-)18:12
seb128yw18:12
seb128it took me a while to figure as well18:12
broder...huh. tap to click actually seems to have gotten turned back on, possibly when my screensaver activated18:43

brodernope, it just gets turned on intermittently19:22
brycehcnd, see this?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOvQCPLkPt419:39
FernandoMiguelevening19:46
cndbryceh, yeah, MS has been talking about improving touch performance for a little bit now19:53
cndmaybe 6 months19:53
cndthey're working closely with the makers of the panels19:53
brycehmm19:53
cndhopefully we'll benefit from it too :)19:53
tjaaltonhm, apport opened chromium for some reason, firefox is the default..21:22
tjaaltonx-www-browser points to chromium for some reason, but apport should use xdg-open21:27
brycehtjaalton, hmm according to apport/NEWS, it started using xdg-open around 1.24 (2011-10-19)21:35
brycehwonder if it's something lower down like in launchpadlib?21:36
tjaaltoncould be, filed a bug about it just in case21:38
tjaaltonseems that ubuntu-bug ends up using xdg-open, but the crash reporter doesn't21:39
brycehhmm, is that evand's crash reporter code?21:40
tjaaltonwhoopsie? maybe21:42
tjaaltonit's just the daemon?21:44

brycehmore ubuntu wayland hand wringing on moronix22:33
brycehthey suddenly expect that end users should be able to transition off X11 to wayland in 12.10?22:44
RAOFTotally possible!22:45
RAOFAs long as the users aren't particularly demanding.22:46
RAOF:)22:46
FernandoMiguelsomeone recall me what wayland is 22:47
brycehFernandoMiguel, it's unicorns and rainbows22:47
FernandoMiguelah those22:47
bjsniderreplacement for xorg22:55
brycehFernandoMiguel, less snarkily, Wayland is a 3D display server as opposed to X which is 2D with 3D bolted on.  A lot of people got  their hopes up very early on that it would "replace X".  But there's still a long way to go, and it irritates me to see phoronix teasing people with what we're (at the moment not) doing in Ubuntu23:19
FernandoMiguelack23:21
RAOFThere's quite a lot of work that'll need to be done before it's ready to "replace X".  Where by "replace X" we mean "run X clients in their own X server, and wayland clients alongside them".23:21
* RAOF is still interested in turning lightdm into a wayland compositor and running an X server under it, though.23:22
eruditehermitSarvatt, hey, are you about?23:24
brycehRAOF, certainly that would be one way to eliminate our login corruption bug.  ;-)23:26
RAOFWith all sorts of new and exciting corruption bugs possible!23:26
brycehout with the old bugs, in with the new!23:26
FernandoMigueland in the mean time make LP team get paid 23:27
