pittihey rickspencer306:23
rickspencer3hi pitti06:23
pittiwow, half of the sponsoring queue is less than two days old06:23
rickspencer3and Sarvatt fixed the compiz crasher last night (my last night)06:23
rickspencer3I feel like a happy boy this morning, no one burst my bubble, please :)06:23
pittirickspencer3: no beer yet, though06:24
rickspencer3lol06:24
pittineed to look into what's breaking farsight06:24

rickspencer3pitti, in point of fact, I did not panic when I saw there were 2 problems in precice_probs06:25
* rickspencer3 hugs pitti06:25
rickspencer3pitti,  looks like there was an unstable job with the 54 bit desktop too06:26
pitti54?06:27
rickspencer3lol06:28
brycehpitti, new Intel thing.06:28
rickspencer3indeed, it's our newest architecture06:28
brycehthe geovexium06:28
rickspencer3we found the chip in an alien crash site, thought we'd build a Ubuntu for it06:29
pittilol06:31
brycehspeaking of aliens, looks like we're going to get new -fglrx and -nvidia next week.  hoping if we get those in it'll take care of some of the various bugs we're seeing with them.06:39
rickspencer3hey bryceh that's good news06:41
rickspencer3are those the final ones?06:42
brycehrickspencer3, final before 12.04 release06:44
brycehrickspencer3, remember we can now do opt-in updates post-release too :-)06:44
rickspencer3righto06:44
rickspencer3but I still recall a couple of years ago we were always getting the binary drivers really close to, or even after, release06:45
brycehyeah06:45
brycehthis cycle we've at least had *functional* drivers the whole release.  helpful to all the testers06:46
brycehhowever the versions we have right now are relatively unstable06:46
brycehword is the new versions solve a lot of the problems users are seeing06:46
pittirickspencer3: FYI, bug 956041 is standing between here and beer, I adjusted it accordingly06:47

brycehRAOF, as long as it leaves us with functioning Xv I'll be happy06:48
RAOFPfft!  Who watches video, anyway!06:48
RAOFNo one on fglrx, at least ☺06:49
brycehyeah we all know they're just using it for pr0n06:49
brycehon those internets06:49
RAOFIt's for their own good, having X die like that.06:49
brycehmaybe it'll encourage them to get a proper 54-bit video card06:51
rickspencer3lol06:51
RAOFIs that the new Intel ABI they'd like us to kindly bootstrap?06:53
rickspencer3hey all, so what's up with unity for beta 2? is there a release that's got to be tested and all that queued up?07:11

pittiyou're up early then07:13
didrocksI know, but I need to act on unity soon enough if needed…07:14
didrockswe had jasoncwarner_'s issue last need, I need to know the status07:14
rickspencer3hey didrocks07:16
didrocksbonjour rickspencer307:17
rickspencer3one day we will have a unity landing that does involved late nights07:17
didrocksone day :-)07:18
didrocksnormally, I can resist without coffee, but not today bbiab ;)07:19

ubot2`Launchpad bug 827934 in colord "colord crashed with SIGABRT in raise()" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/82793407:19
didrockspitti: so basically, duflu is on some additional work, jasoncwarner_ is experiencing this bug and they got an idea07:19
pittiRAOF: seems to be a common assertion failure, and reproducible in jenkins07:19
didrocksbut still weird, there is a compositer claimed to run before compiz starts in some case…07:19
RAOFpitti: I've started looking at that.  Oooh, reproducible in Jenkins?07:20
pittiRAOF: I think I saw it in some dist-upgrade failed tests, yes07:20
pittihmm, not in the current ones, though07:21
RAOFUpstream has thrown their hands up about a bunch of crashes and split the sane stuff out into a separate process.07:21
pittiRAOF: anyway, the assertion message is in the stack trace07:21
RAOFWhich can then crash with impunity.  I don't *think* this is that problem, though.07:21
RAOFYeah; it's a strange dbus problem.07:22

pittijasoncwarner_: I'm not quite sure what to do there, though; it's been there for ages, and if you can't reach archive.c.c there's not much that this can do about07:23
pittiI think it's correct to let package installation fail there07:23
jasoncwarner_pitti: re the bug, can we close the bug then? get some resolution in the system ? I'm fine with that, though maybe a messgae would also be good07:24
pittijasoncwarner_: well, we can keep the bug open, but I don't see us guarantee to fix it07:25
pittiso perhaps rls-mgr-p-tracking, or dropping the tag?07:25
micahgpitti: slangasek is working on something for this I think07:26
jasoncwarner_pitti: I'll remove the tag, for sure. I was more thinking, if we know that is what we are going to do with the bug, go ahead and resolve it and close it :)07:26

pittiso I think we can make that a dupe07:27
pittidobey: ubuntuone-client-proxy currently wants to go to universe, so I suppose we should seed it somewhere; I was just wondering if it sohldn't be a dependency of something? or do we have an installer shim which will get it on demand?07:34
tjaaltondid compiz defaults change recently? I use focus-follows-mouse and noticed that autoraise is now on by default07:43
pittiI think autoraise had been on for a long time already; I always had to disable it as well07:47
tjaaltonthere is autoraise and raise-on-click.. how confusing :)07:48
tjaaltonfrom dconf-editor it seems that autoraise is default false, raise-on-click default true07:49
tjaaltonbut ccsm shows autoraise on, and resetting it always turns it on07:50
BigWhaleGood morning.08:01
* didrocks has an evil idea of a workaround08:01
tjaaltondoes anyone know how/where the lightdm session is defined? the hw volume keys don't seem to work on the login screen, and RAOF suggested it might be a missing g-s-d plugin causing that08:27

seb128hey chrisccoulson, how are you?09:03
chrisccoulsoni can blame bug 956961 on seb128 ;)09:03
ubot2`Launchpad bug 956961 in firefox "Firefox 11.04.1 does not use the gnome-proxy-settings" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/95696109:03

chrisccoulsoni'm good thanks09:04
chrisccoulsonhow are you?09:04
seb128I'm good thanks09:04
seb128chrisccoulson, no you can't, I had to refresh my makefile knowledge thanks to you yesterday09:04
chrisccoulsonheh09:04
seb128you own me already for this one :p09:04
seb128chrisccoulson, wth? remove gsettings-desktop-schemas? it's not possible, it provides most of the desktop keys and you know how gsettings handle missing schemas right? ;-)09:05
chrisccoulsonseb128, this is on ubuntu 11.0409:05
chrisccoulsonthe problem is that gsettings-desktop-schemas exists, but nothing uses it09:06
seb128oh09:06
chrisccoulsonso, firefox now thinks it can use gsettings for the proxy settings, because the schema exists09:06
seb128I'm clearly not awake ;-)09:06
chrisccoulsonbut it fails because the proxy settings are actually still in gconf :)09:06
chrisccoulsonseb128, we also have the same issue for background settings, but that's not a new issue in 11.0409:07
seb128chrisccoulson, I'm trying to remember if g-d-s was useful for anything in 11.0409:07
chrisccoulsonyeah, me too09:07
chrisccoulsonit's not installed by default, is it?09:08
seb128I don't think it was09:08
seb128oh, good, I still have a natty iso on disk09:08

seb128chrisccoulson, yeah, it's installed by default for mousetweaks on natty09:12
seb128micahg, thanks09:12
chrisccoulsonseb128, that's broken then, as gsd is using gconf still09:12
chrisccoulsoni guess nobody cared about that enough to notice that it doesn't work ;)09:13
seb128chrisccoulson, well it's not really "broken", since most of your client don't try both09:14
=== chaoticuk_ is now known as chaoticuk
seb128chrisccoulson, i.e nothing in natty at the time was using gsettings so it was basically not hurting to have the non used gsettings keys around09:14
seb128chrisccoulson, can you force the gconf codepatch on < 11.10?09:15
chrisccoulsonseb128, oh, i meant that mousetweaks is broken. it's changing gsettings keys that nothing else is consuming09:15
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, possibly. but i want a way that is acceptable for upstream builds too really. i'm trying to figure out a way to detect that09:15
seb128chrisccoulson, oh, could be, I'm not sure mousetweaks change "common" keys or is a standalone thing, I don't even know what moousetweaks do ;-)09:16
chrisccoulsonseb128, mousetweaks is changing keys in the org.gnome.desktop.a11y.mouse namespace, which is consumed by g-s-d in the current version09:16
seb128chrisccoulson, what g-s-d does from them? well as you probably noticed I'm totally ignorant of that stack :p09:17
chrisccoulsonseb128, i've no idea ;)09:17
seb128chrisccoulson, anyway if nobody noticed mousetweaks being broken in 11.04 in a year I would vote for "don't bother"09:17
chrisccoulsoni just grepped the source for that namespace, and saw that gsd uses it in the mouse plugin ;)09:18
chrisccoulson(but not in 11.04)09:18
seb128chrisccoulson, ok, g-s-d run mousetweaks when you activated one of the mouse "tweaks" in g-c-c09:19
seb128like dwell click09:20
seb128or secondary click09:20

chrisccoulsonah :)09:21
seb128chrisccoulson, well anyway as said it has been there for a year, people who need mousetweaks probably worked around it or moved away from natty09:21
seb128chrisccoulson, let's focus on the firefox side09:22
seb128chrisccoulson, you could sru gsettings-desktop-schemas to drop the proxy keys from it ;-)09:22
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, that could be one idea. and the background keys ;)09:23
seb128chrisccoulson, wfm09:23
seb128chrisccoulson, better you could downgrade mousetweaks and make firefox conflicts on gsettings-desktop-schemas :p09:23
seb128though I'm not sure that would make upgrades "clean"09:23
chrisccoulsonthat would work too, but would be more work :)09:24
seb128i.e update-manager will not likely happily uninstall something09:24
chrisccoulsonit seems like mousetweaks is the only thing that depends on g-d-s in natty, which is nice and easy09:24
seb128right09:24
seb128that's the cycle where we decided to not go for GNOME309:24
chrisccoulsoni'll just test this here to make sure that it works09:25
seb128chrisccoulson, ok09:26
seb128chrisccoulson, uninstalling g-d-s on that natty kvm doesn't seem to create any visible issue09:32

seb128with https://launchpadlibrarian.net/97835133/0001-Make-gnome-screensaver-look-like-Unity-Greeter.patch which is "not so complicated" patch13:35
kenvandinehaha13:35
seb128I'm tempted to try to push it13:36
seb128the current screen is so .... URG13:36
kenvandineat least it looks nicer than what we have13:36
seb128or at least optional and maybe turn it on by .1 or something :p13:36
kenvandineis there a way we can choose to use the greeter for a lock screen ?13:37
seb128but I feel like mterry and pitti will ruin my day with reality check and "we are months after ff and uif" ;-)13:37
kenvandineindeed :)13:37
seb128kenvandine, not really, that doesn't work on non dkms drivers and we never solved the consolekit active session issues (i.e sound stopping on screen locking if you are in a call), nor make the greeter respect user settings for screen power on or suspend13:38
seb128i.e too many issues with the vt change and different user13:38
* mterry is perfectly fine with this lock screen for the next 5 years of 12.04 :)13:38
seb128mterry, you never lock your screen I bet :p13:38
kenvandinemterry, 5 years of ugly gtk grey box?13:39
* desrt smacks kenvandine for suggesting that gtk is ugly13:39
mterryI like function!13:39
kenvandineseb128, i meant if i know the limitations and still willing to use it... it would be cool if i could set that locally13:39
kenvandinedesrt, i am really tired of that old gtk gray13:40
desrti have to say... as a lot of the UI in gnome-shell world gets changed from these 'ugly grey boxes' to these shiny new things....13:40
desrti miss the ugly grey rectangles13:40
kenvandinei'll never miss it13:40
desrtkenvandine: your particular brand of 'gtk grey' comes from cimi :)13:40
seb128desrt, I guess gnome-shell still has the grey rectangles in their lock screen as well :p13:40
desrtseb128: you know... i don't really know what is the story there13:41
kenvandinedesrt, indeed...13:41
desrtseb128: supposedly gnome-shell was moving the lock screen into the WM13:41
seb128desrt, story as I read it yesterday on #gnome-hackers that plan is still on but for 3.6 now13:41
desrtgotcha13:41
desrtit makes sense13:41
desrtgnome-screensaver is stupid13:41
desrtbut i'll miss the rectangles :)13:41
seb128;-)13:41
* desrt wonders if it's possible to get a 1990s theme for gnome-shell13:42
seb128desrt, kill g-s-d13:42
seb128you will get it :p13:42
desrtunfortunately that doesn't impact shell13:42
desrtits default theme is... well, it's default theme13:42
desrtwhich will probably happen for gtk next cycle as well, btw13:42
desrtthey are about >< this close to having adwaita without a theme engine13:43
seb128well it's already the case on most distros13:43
desrtso then they just have to import the css into gtk itself13:43
seb128you just need to put adwaita in your settings.ini13:43
desrtand then we have the default theme as the default theme13:43
seb128as the fallback theme13:43
seb128it sucks when you have 2 themes then though13:44
seb128i.e if you provide a light theme13:44
mdeslaurseb128: that screensaver patch would be awesome13:44
seb128mdeslaur, ;-)13:44
seb128mterry, see!!!13:44
desrtto put numbers on it: '>< this close' is 244 lines of code (semicolons)13:44
seb128desrt, well, as long as they let you use a different .css I'm fine with that ;-)13:45
mdeslaur'>< this close' is only two "FIXME"s in the code :)13:45
desrtya.  of course they do.13:45
desrtand in fact, they made that part easier13:45
desrtthe changed the 'base' css to be empty13:45
mdeslaurgulp, including a multimonitor FIXME13:45
desrtgtk's "real" default theme is now... very interesting13:45
seb128though I still don't understand what is all this hype about dark themes13:46
seb128hate those13:46
desrtgnome and ubuntu have taken different roads there13:46
desrtgnome's approach is less bad than ubuntu's, but still annoying13:46
seb128desrt, differently bad but equaly I would say ;-)13:46
desrtthe only place i see a dark theme variant being useful is in fullscreen13:47
seb128desrt, like GNOME put those variants for apps with content13:47
desrtso like the totem controls in fullscreen mode... or the boxes controls when the VM is fullscreen13:47
seb128i.e totem13:47
seb128or eog13:47
desrtyes.  i think that's really good13:47
desrti wish apps would only use it in fullscreen, though13:47
desrtinstead of just "this app will look different from the rest"13:47
seb128right13:47
desrtthat's a very macos thing13:47
desrtand it's dumb13:47
seb128desrt, do you have any news about the hud icon stuff? we are beta2 frozen now but an upload today should still be ok if you get something13:50
kenvandineseb128, think i should update the telepathy packages that had releases last night?13:51
seb128kenvandine, if they are bug fix versions please do13:52
kenvandinethey are13:52
desrtseb128: so the gnome designers just gave me a rather convincing story13:52
kenvandinei guess worse case they sit in the queue13:52
desrtseb128: the dark theme variant is used for applications that deal with visual media -- eog, totem, etc.13:53
desrtapparently there is a lot of science that says that images/video should always be viewed with dark chrome around13:53
desrtbecause lighter chrome distorts perception13:53
seb128desrt, right, I read about that, I'm just not convinced by how it's done in GNOME13:56
seb128desrt, like shotwell did it before and it a nicer visual way in my opinion13:56
desrtseb128: i'm of a mixed mind13:57
desrt(just installed and opened shotwell for the first time in a long time)13:57
desrti appreciate how the shotwell chrome better matches the rest of the apps13:58
desrtbut i find the transition between the dark field and the controls immediately adjacent to be a bit jarring13:58
seb128desrt, well it's a taste stuff, I hate dark colors with passion14:01
seb128desrt, i.e I would take a dark as a color choice for a device I buy either14:02
seb128wouldn't14:02
seb128like my phone, ipod, etc are colored or white14:02
seb128desrt, and GNOME is pushing is far enough so I can't stand the look14:02
seb128but yeah, if you have no opinion on color I guess it's ok ;-)14:03
desrtseb128: ah.  i guess i disagree there.14:03
desrtmost things i own are black14:03
desrtit's a lot easier to find black usually...14:03
desrtseb128: pippin raises an interesting question on the channel, though -- would you buy a white TV?14:04
pittiwell, for reading lots of text, it's really not a matter of opinion14:04
desrtright... there are two things that seem to be at odds with each other14:05
pittias desrt says, you want a black bg for videos/images, and black text on bright background for text14:05
pitti(terminals, browsers, etc)14:05
desrtblack text on white seems to be a better choice (although it'll be a cold day in hell before i switch my terminals from white on black)14:05
desrtand image content against black seems the better choice14:05
desrtdamned human eyes14:05
pittiyes, it is; it's not a coincidence that books are being printed that way for centuries :)14:05
desrtpitti: i think books are printed that way because it's difficult to imagine as simple of a process to do the inverse ;)14:06
pittidesrt: I tried white on black on terminals for a while, but it's horrible14:06
seb128pitti, no I don't14:06
seb128pitti, shotwell as a subtle grey which I find much better than dark14:06
desrtpitti: i use 4 different colours of terminal :)14:06
pittiespecially on a laptop with a less powerful tft, you get very bad contrast14:06
desrtall of them use not-quite-white (#eeeeee or so) for the foreground14:06
pittiseb128: well, "dark enough"14:06
desrtand the backgrounds are black, red, green and blue14:07
desrt(obviously rather darkened shades of each of those)14:07
Chipacahi all. dist-upgrade of precise wants to remove unity. I'm assuming this is not a new new world order, and am delaying :)14:07
desrtChipaca: apt-get upgrade first14:07

desrtusually issues like this get sorted within a few hours14:08

seb128you miss new Recommends this way14:08
desrtah.  tricky.14:08
seb128upgrade doesn't pull new recommends14:08
desrtso here's a question14:08
seb128and nothing else will store them14:08
pittioh $deity, new unity fixes 61 bugs -- didrocks, you'll break the 500 mark14:08
desrtis there a way to apt-get install --reinstall --also-install-recommends-this-time some-package?14:08
pitti(soon enough)14:09
* Chipaca stays with his "dist-upgrade if sane, otherwise delay" strategy of win14:09
desrtwithout requiring the package to be in apt....14:09
desrtie: if i manually installed some .deb file and now i want to pull the recommends of that deb as well14:09

didrocksoh? ;)15:15
didrockspitti: well, I just rebuild and retest for my conscious, as we did that with the autobuilt package for the week. But still, I prefer to know exactly how behaves what I upload (as the source is the tarball I reproduce and not just the vcs ):)15:16
pittinice race condition15:16
G__81i am interested to contribute to Ubuntu specifically in development. Where do i start from15:19
didrocksoh, intereting :)15:19
didrocksrace condition in gdu15:19
G__81when i say Development i mean bug fixing too15:20
pittididrocks: why do you need to change revert_git_keyboard_gsettings.patch ?15:21
pittididrocks: did you put the new patch before that revert?15:21
didrockspitti: right, I put it before (the patch is rather at the end of the stack)15:21
didrockspitti: it's just a quilt refresh basically15:21
didrockspitti: oh maybe you know that…15:21
didrockspitti: most of the time15:22
didrocksquilt push -a15:22

pittiyay more .ui patches :015:22
pittiright, fuzz15:22
didrockspitti: I knew you would love that ;)15:22
pittidpkg doesn't accept any fuzz15:22
pittiquilt itself tolerates it15:22
didrocksah ok, it's dpkg, not the way quilt is called15:22
pittiso if quit push says "fuzz 1" or so anywhere, you need to refresh15:22
didrocksok ;)15:23
pittis/quit/quilt/15:23
didrockspitti: at least, the .ui changes are contained (and done by hand)15:23
G__81sorry i guess i am @ the wrong channel15:23
didrocksG__81: oh sorry15:23
G__81sorry for the noise15:23
didrocksG__81: no, no worry15:24
didrocksG__81: dholbach is the guy in charge of helping you :)15:24
didrocksG__81: do you know a little bit about packaging?15:24
G__81didrocks, yes i know packaging in fedora as i have been a fedora developer :)15:24
G__81;-)15:24
didrocksah ok ;) so you are already aware about the distro concepts, let me point you to the debian/ubuntu packaging guide15:25
seb128G__81, http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved might be a good start15:25
G__81didrocks, yeah i have been contributing to few up-stream projects too and those are used by Ubuntu as well :)15:25
G__81i have few questions though so that you guys could help me out15:25
pittiseb128: indeed, pkexec <gui app> requires an accompanying .policy file which allows keeping $DISPLAY15:25
didrocksG__81: use the link seb128 pointed :)15:26
didrocksG__81: you can still ask your questions of course15:26
seb128G__81, if you have question feel free to ask them ;-)15:26
seb128pitti, oh ok, thanks for the explanation, well that patch was added recently when syncing with Debian, we don't need it for admin users so I just dropped it15:26
pittiseb128: "adm", yes15:27
G__81i read an article somewhere where it said how to fix a bug in Ubuntu. The article said, take the bug, get the source using bzr and then fix the bug and push that into bzr. Is that how it works ? My question here is when it said fix the code, does it mean the actual source or the spec file ?15:27
G__81or put the other way In Ubuntu do you guys actually work on the actual sources too or is it only packaging ?15:27
seb128G__81, we do both15:27
seb128we fix upstream bugs and do packaging (new versions updates, etc)15:28
seb128G__81, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix maybe?15:28
G__81seb128, so lets say there is some bug in gedit, you get the source and you fix it and push it using some bzr stuff ?15:28
pittiG__81: actually, it's not sufficient to just fix it in our bzr branches, you also have to report and send it upstream15:28
G__81pitti, yeah makes sense15:29
G__81:)15:29
seb128G__81, it's a bit more complexe, it should be, desktop package use a special workflow, you can read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Bzr is should not be too long and have details15:29
seb128G__81, but basically for i.e gedit you would do15:30
seb128bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-desktop/gedit/ubuntu15:30
G__81now the second question is I have a Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit and can i use that and get the packages and fix it right, you guys dont mandate that its got to be 12.04 beta right ?15:30
seb128G__81, you can fix bugs in old versions, but usually it's better to work on the current version to ensure the bug is fixed at the propose place and that you don't dup work15:31
seb128somebody might have already fixed the bug you look at in 12.04 beta15:31
G__81seb128, infact to be frank i dont have Ubuntu yet installed :) so my plan is to install 11.10 in my system15:31
seb128you are welcome to backport fixes and propose a stable update if you think the fix is worth backporting though15:31
seb128G__81, ok, 12.04 beta2 is due next week maybe give it a try? it's a lts cycle and beta2 should be pretty stable15:32
G__81I have been a fedora user since its inception. Its started crashing and i dont have the patience to reinstall it and get yum updates..15:32
seb12811.10 should be a safe bet so yeah, go for that ;-)15:33
seb128you can always update to 12.04 in a month if you want15:33
G__81seb128, hmmm...... so is it mandatory for a person to contribute in Ubuntu to have the beta or the RCs to be running ?15:34
seb128G__81, no15:34
seb128it just makes things easier15:34
seb128i.e your patch made on 11.10 might not apply to the current version15:34
seb128the code might have changed etc15:34
seb128G__81, quite some people work on git though15:35
seb128like they would get gedit from upstream git15:35
seb128fix the bug15:35
G__81ok seb128 cool. So if someone can help me to fix the first bug in terms of the process so that i get a feel of the process, it would be very helpful15:35
seb128then submit a patch to ubuntu with the fix15:35
G__81so you all use jhbuild or is there a PPA for eg:if i have to contribute to some gnome package ?15:36
seb128G__81, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/devweek1201/FixingDesktopBugs15:36
desrtseb128: icon fix is merge-proposed15:36
seb128G__81, that's an IRC tutorial I gave where I explained how to backport a GNOME git commit to a package15:37
seb128desrt, \o/15:37
G__81oh ok seb128 thats cool15:37
=== jalcine_ is now known as jalcine
G__81seb128, cool i guess this process you mentioned there is lot simpler than jhbuild stuff. Is my understanding right ?15:39
seb128G__81, it should be simple enough yes15:39
G__81seb128, cool so i would first install Ubuntu and then log in back here15:40
G__81seb128, in the LP, is there a Ubuntu Desktop team and can i add myself there ?15:40
seb128G__81, you can subscribe to https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop which is our list ... the launchpad team gives upload rights so it's not open, you need to do some work and go through sponsoring before being added15:41
G__81oh i thought that once i get added to that team, i get subscribed to the email15:41
G__81oh i didnt know the team there is for different purpose15:42
G__81seb128, thanks for your time. I am off to start my install. Lets see how it goes and hopefully i should be back here :)15:46
seb128G__81, ok, good luck, and don't worry if it's quiet over the w.e here15:47
G__81ok sure seb128 thanks15:47
seb128G__81, there are quite some people working on Ubuntu full time during the week here and not around on the weekends15:47
G__81seb128, oh ok15:48
G__81i understand15:48
seb128well you will probably still find people around15:48
seb128but it's less busy than during the week ;-)15:48
G__81seb128, i am sure my questions would be answered by every single guy here @ least for the next few weeks as i am new bie :)15:49

soren?16:04
seb128pitti, I just uploaded an indicator-appmenu update which brings back icons updates to the hud, you could call it a feature but it's little code and it fixes a regression in the refactoring which happened after beta1, I would appreciate if you could ack it16:07
seb128on that I'm out for some exercice, will be back in ~1hour deal with end of week email and backlog then be off16:08
mvosoren: it installs all the missing recommends (or if you include --install-suggest all of those as well)16:18

dpmpitti, I've been checking on the progress of the precise full langpack. It seems you or someone else marked it as active on https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+language-packs already. Just a quick heads up that it seemed to take about 8h instead of the usual 22h, so I'd be a bit wary as to whether the export went well16:31
pittidpm: yes, I was quite surprised that it was so fast; but it seemed complete16:32
pittiin fact, it had a lot more stuff than the previous ones16:32
pittisuch as adding gcc-4.416:32
pittidpm: I uploaded the new langpacks already16:32
dpmpitti, ah, that's cool. Do you have the logs of the build still on the langpacks server? They are often useful to spot problems in templates in LP16:33
pittidpm: yes, precise.log16:34
dpmpitti, great, I'll have a look16:34
dpmhey all, could someone have a look at bug/85514416:36

ubot2`Launchpad bug 855144 in colord "Localizations are not shipped" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/85514416:37
dpmit's just a matter of creating the pot file on build, either with dh_translations or with a call to intltool -p16:37
sorenmvo: Oh, neat.16:49
mvosoren: yeah, if you add -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=true it also tells you what pulls in what16:54

pittigood night everyone17:25
mptWot, 2012 and launchpad-integration is still shipping by default?17:27
seb128mpt, why not?17:28
seb128mpt, we would all love to drop that, it's most of the diff we have over Debian for GNOME17:28
seb128mpt, if you don't like it please bring up dropping it at UDS ;-)17:29
mptseb128, because it clutters up the Help menu of many applications, 1/3 of it is obsolete with Ask Ubuntu, and the other 2/3 assumes that someone opening the Help menu is a geek :-)17:30
seb128mpt, translations are for geeks?17:30
mptseb128, is there a Default Apps blueprint yet?17:30
GridCubegood evening, while doing todays beta2  test on xubuntu installed in spanish, i noticed that the progam onboard would not launch, after reporting the bug on launchpad (#963216), it was pointed as a dupe of (#958385), wich says the problem is fixed "in trunk", what should be done to fix the problem on xubuntu b2?17:30
mptseb128, translations aren't, but translating software is17:30
seb128mpt, we will not do "default apps" again, that was a disaster we said we should better stop :p17:31
seb128mpt, we will turn that to "call for specific topics and discuss those"17:31
mptseb128, so in what context would it be discussed at UDS? It would take about 5 minutes17:31
mpt(I hope:-)17:31
seb128mpt, everybody was coming with all the reasons why they hate $apps before17:31
seb128mpt, I will make room for it in a session and invite you, maybe one on lowering diff with Debian and upstream, or better handling our diffs17:32
mptseb128, good idea, thanks17:32
seb128yw17:32
seb128mpt, lpi -> we drop the "report a bug" at release time17:32
seb128i.e we just have those for unstable cycles17:32
seb128mpt, so we keep translations and get help17:32

caB00TI installed 11.10 and put Gnome onto a VirtualBox.18:02
caB00TI can't seem to find drivers for my monitor (lap top, wide screen), it's an ATI Radeon, I hear there are problems with those?18:02
caB00TSo does problems = impossible or just a pain in the ass?18:02
caB00T:)18:02
seb128caB00T, the ati open source driver should work and you can install the fglrx ati binary driver18:04
seb128though dunno about "in virtualbox"18:04
caB00TProlly the same, I'll try.18:04
caB00T:)18:04
caB00TAnd one more question,18:05
caB00TWhat are those "online accounts" etc when I click on my username in the top corner?18:05
seb128way to configure your online account18:06
seb128like a google account18:06
seb128so the im client get your gtalk configured18:06
caB00Tim = instant massanger?18:06
seb128or the email client your gmail configured (if you use evolution, thunderbird doesn't support that feature)18:06
seb128yes18:06
caB00TSo the idea is all Ubuntu users can communicate?18:07
caB00TInteresting stuff... :)18:07
seb128yeah18:07
seb128well it's not ubuntu specific, internet is somewhat about communication ;-)18:07
caB00TWell ofc, but you don't see it on any Windows... :)18:07
seb128you can communicate via other OSes, phones, tablets, etc as well18:07

caB00TI went Synaptic Package Manager -> Typed in "gnome-device-manager" And then got gpe-appmanager, I mark it for install, it gives me the menu with some things and a "mark" button, I click on it, and get: "gpe-appmanager: Depends: gpe-confg but it won't be installed. Any ideas?18:36
seb128caB00T, dunno but that doesn't seem like a package used or maintained you should probably not install it18:41
seb128 18:41
seb128ok, stupid gtk question18:41
seb128how do I set a width limit to a dialog so long labels ellipsize rather than resizing the dialog?18:42

seb128micahg, I somewhat though you were the closest from xubuntu there18:48
seb128but feel free to ignore that ;-)18:48
micahgseb128: sorry, I was thinking back to our mousetweaks discussion 8 hours ago :)18:49
astraljavaseb128: onboard is in ubuntu-desktop task, too, so I'm not sure it's Xubuntu-specific. Is it?18:50
micahgseb128: well, I don't think we want mousetweaks in xubuntu as it pulls in g-c-c18:50
seb128astraljava, because ubuntu install moustweaks18:50
micahgplus as astraljava said we don't even have onboard which is weird18:51
seb128micahg, xubuntu has no onscreen keyboard?18:51

caB00TThere is suppose to be a device manager equivalent called gnome-device-manger but it's discontinued - the book is not exactly brand new, from 2009 I think.18:54
caB00TSo if anyone can reccomned something would be  great?18:55
bcurtiswxcaB00T, there is a channel devoted to support, and I would imagine they can help you better than people in here would. join #ubuntu18:56

Saviqhey, anyone else experiencing firefox being a pain (like 5s stalled) when switching from other apps to firefox?19:37
dobeySaviq: i've noticed disk i/o being a pain. only time i've had temporary ui hangs like that19:42
Saviqdobey, SSD here..., nothing else shows such behavior19:42
Saviqfirefox just hogs the cpu for some seconds and then goes back to normal19:44
Saviqprivate browsing is affected, so I'd assume nothing in my profile - maybe some plugin19:44
dobeySaviq: does it always happen, or only when say xapian-update-index or whatever, is running, or when installing lots of packages during dist-upgrade, or while send/recv is running in evolution or thunderbird?19:44
Saviqdobey, every time19:44
Saviqwill try with a guest account19:44
Saviqhmm guest account unaffected19:46

cyphermoxis someone looking into the vte bug or am I the volunteer for it? :)19:55

mterrycyphermox, heyo19:56
cyphermoxmterry: hey ;) how are you ? :D19:57
mterrycyphermox, I haven't done much on libvte recently, no.  But I could lend a hand if it would help19:57
micahga reboot fixed it for me19:57
cyphermoxah, maybe that's all I need19:57
micahgI don't think it's nice,but it's still beta :)19:57
cyphermoxmterry: I was only asking because you seem to be the last one who touched vte, maybe I misread19:58
mterrycyphermox, probably was  :)19:58
micahgwould probably be good to fix for final as killing the terminal interaction in the running session isn't very friendly19:58
cyphermoxmicahg: I was able to work around it by symlinking its -0.0 directory to -2.9019:58

kklimondahmm, is there a bug that lightdm doesn't provide any way to configure network before logging in?20:51
cyphermoxkklimonda: not per se. what do you want to configure exactly, I may be able to offer solutions20:57
cyphermoxit was discussed as a blueprint though20:58
kklimondacyphermox: users in LDAP, authentication with kerberos, $HOME on the NFS share :)20:58
kklimondaand laptop with wifi20:58
cyphermoxkklimonda: right, that's the use case we wanted to cover.20:58
cyphermoxkklimonda: if you're connected over wired then it should basically magically work if it's with DHCP20:59
kklimondacyphermox: yes it does20:59
cyphermoxbut you'll still also need wifi and such20:59
cyphermoxafter the first login if wifi is setup then if that's all there is available it also *should* work20:59
cyphermoxbut it doesn't cover the first login with just wifi21:00
kklimondayeah, it's unfortunate :)21:00
cyphermoxkklimonda: yeah, but not overly difficult to fix; if you don't care too much about hiding parts of the menu21:00
cyphermoxkklimonda: I assume you maybe are interested in preseeded setups?21:01
cyphermoxbasically, "all" that is missing is that nm-applet should get started in the lightdm session; and it isn't right now21:01
kklimondacyphermox: ah, it's that simple? interesting21:01
cyphermoxI do think it's just that21:02
kklimondainteresting, I'll give it a try21:03
cyphermoxbut then you'll have the whole menu from nm-applet, and it will be running as lightdm so there may be missing permissions to create system-wide connections21:03
cyphermoxkklimonda: let me know how it goes, and/or file bugs and I'll see if we can get them fixed before release.21:05
kklimondaI wonder whether the network connection configured before login is going to stay alive during and after login21:05
Saviqdobey, found the offender, btw - it's the globalmenu integration, I'd assume HUD is digging through all the menus every time Firefox is activated21:06
SaviqI'd say bookmarks are killing it21:07
cyphermoxkklimonda: supposed to if it's system-wide21:08
desrtSaviq: hm?21:08
Saviqdesrt, every time I activate Firefox, CPU spikes and the browser is stuck for several seconds21:08
Saviqdisabling the globalmenu integration helps21:09
desrteven without opening the hud?21:09
Saviqyes21:10
desrtit's true that there is a recent change to aggressively mine the firefox menus in the hud21:10
desrtbut it should only happening when doing a hud search21:10
Saviqdesrt, if I kill hud-service21:10
Saviqit goes away again21:10
desrtand you can freely open/close firefox with no problems?21:11
Saviqdesrt, no updates in queue for me21:11
Saviqdesrt, yes, it just stalls for several seconds21:11
Saviqthen works fine until I go away again21:11
desrttricky.21:11
desrti wonder if somehow the use count is leaking....21:12
Saviqdesrt, doesn't happen on guest account21:12
Saviqdesrt, so my assumption would be bookmarks21:12
SaviqI have some - not a huge amount, though21:12
Saviqshould probably drop them anyway... not using them at all21:12
desrtthere is a bug to optimise this situation21:12
desrtbut it shouldn't happen at all when you open firefox for the first time21:12
desrtso hud-service was running... this presumably means that you did some searching using the hud at some point21:13
Saviqyeah sure it was a long running session21:13
Saviqand hud is giving tons of results btw21:13
desrtso hud internally maintains a usecount21:13
desrtit should be zero when no searches are active21:14
jbichacyphermox: if nm-applet was running in the greeter, we'd want to hide "Edit Connections", right since it has all of the network passwords easily accessible there?21:14
desrti wonder if for some reason it's failing to go back to zero for you21:14
Saviqdesrt, let me reboot, some updates went in some time ago, didn't reboot since then21:15
desrtSaviq: killall hud-service would be enough...21:15
desrtwhen it spawns again it would be the new one21:15
Saviqdesrt, yeah but I've a new kernel in store etc.21:15
desrtdoubt it would matter21:15
desrtbut doesn't hurt21:15
Saviqme too21:15
* desrt has to run off for a bit21:15
desrti'll take a peek later and see if i can reproduce what you're seeing21:16
desrtciao21:16
Saviqdesrt, just to follow up, new session, hud-service is already there (unity-2d here, probably invoking hud-service over DBus)21:19
Saviqand issue still here21:19
kklimondaah, I'm seeing firefox and hud-service spinning out of control with unity-2d21:21
kklimondabut not with unity 3d21:21
kklimondaI wonder if it's related21:21
cyphermoxjbicha: yeah, that's why i meant the permissions may be a little annoying there23:54
cyphermoxbut it's getting late to do this, and in fact you might want to be able to create a wifi network from lightdm, if it's a first boot (despite it being much of an edge case)23:55
jbichacreating a wifi network should be fine, it's viewing existing networks with their passwords that rubs me wrong23:56
=== Riddelll is now known as Riddell
=== rsalveti` is now known as rsalveti
cyphermoxjbicha: you don't necessarily can23:57
cyphermoxthat's the trick, lightdm permissions will be screwed when it's started in that session23:57
