pittiGood morning05:39
rickspencer3good morning pitti05:42
rickspencer3I was wondering if the euro-destkoppers would be a bit lagged this morning05:42
Sarvattpitti: your good mornings are very good at telling me I'm up way too late and need to go to sleep. good morning to you though! :)05:43
pittiSarvatt: heh, then good night :)05:43
* rickspencer3 roboots to try latest beta 205:44
Sarvattuhoh, hope he doesn't hit the unity fail from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/963633 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/963093 :)05:45
ubot2Launchpad bug 963633 in unity "Unity 5.8: Login to blank screen (all black or just wallpaper)" [Critical,In progress]05:45
RAOFYeah, I wonder what's actually causing that.05:47
Sarvattits only hitting upgraders, fresh installs are fine05:48
Sarvattaka smells like a compiz config change05:48
Sarvattoh, guess he doesn't hit it either just like my machines :)05:49
RAOFYeah, and unity --reset *did* end up fixing it for me.05:51
rickspencer3good morning RAOF05:51
RAOFrickspencer3: Good morning!05:51
rickspencer3and good evening Sarvatt :)05:52
RAOFDoes anyone know how to connect that fancy new “Management Service” capplet up to my actual Landscape instance? :)05:52
rickspencer3aaah, I can't drag windows with my track pad now!05:53
RAOFThree finger drag?05:53
SarvattRAOF: it works here?05:53
RAOFWhen did that work?!05:54
rickspencer3oh shucks, I can't drag anything05:54
SarvattRAOF: the capplet forces a new connection though05:54
Sarvattaka uses up another one of your 505:54
Sarvattunless you disable the old one05:54
RAOFSarvatt: And, just to be clear, it's your Launchpad account that you want to log in to there, right?  I wonder if it doesn't handle the 2-factor auth that's set up.05:54
SarvattRAOF: yup, and im using 2 factor too05:55
Sarvatti had to delete my old setup on landscape and use the new one05:55
Sarvattthe applet *only* seems to create new associations05:56
RAOFAaah.  It's after LP username rather than email.05:56
SarvattRAOF: ever had landscape set up before?05:57
RAOFSarvatt: Yeah, but ages ago.05:57
rickspencer3hey RAOF can you let me know if I should add anything to bug #96500306:02
rickspencer3?06:02
ubot2Launchpad bug 965003 in xorg "dell mini 10v touchpad dragging stopped working" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96500306:02
Sarvattcnd: ^^ isnt that the same machine you have that you did the clickpad stuff for?06:05
RAOFrickspencer3: Urgh, clickpad stuff?  I thought we'd ironed out the defaults there :/06:06
RAOFrickspencer3: I don't think there's anything more you need to add there.06:06
rickspencer3RAOF, well, this one doesn't have a separate button06:07
rickspencer3I wonder if it forgot to not consider the bottom of the trackpad as a place to control the mouse?06:07
RAOFBoo.  Launchpad, why do you deny me Rick's xinput.txt‽06:09
rickspencer3RAOF, anything I can do to help?06:11
RAOFrickspencer3: I don't think so.06:12
RAOFSarvatt just sneakily moved the bug to synaptics, which was what was breaking Launchpad for me :)06:12
Sarvattwell its a synaptics bug, semantics on how clickpads work have totally changed in 12.04 in the name of the greater good and the mini 10v trackpads were "special" and unique in their quirkiness06:14
Sarvatt(sorry)06:15
RAOFHm.  You know what might be useful?  To have xinput prop results attached to apport.06:15
rickspencer3RAOF, can I generate such an attachment for you?06:17
Sarvattthose things had a special version of clickpads not used on anything else with a different button arrangement afaik06:17
RAOFrickspencer3: You could attach the output of “xinput list-props 11”06:18
didrocksgood morning06:20
RAOFHey didrocks06:20
didrockshow are you RAOF?06:20
RAOFStupid sky, getting dark at 5:20.  What does it think it is, autumn?06:20
RAOFdidrocks: Hey, pretty good.  Yourself?L06:21
didrocksRAOF: rainy/cloudy day or dailylight saving change? :)06:21
didrocksRAOF: I'm fine, thanks!06:21
RAOFCloudy day; daylight savings won't end for another couple of weeks(?).06:21
didrocksok ;)06:22
RAOFBut it's also getting dark earlier, obviously.06:22
didrocksjust go the contrary with dailylight saving this week-end here06:23
didrocksat least, it's getting dark now at 8 PM ;)06:23

pittididrocks: congrats for landing unity safely!06:38
didrockspitti: thanks ;) everything went smoothly!06:39
didrocksI'll just need to properly hack the script to push to the release pocket instead of trying to -updates06:39
didrockshow was your week-end pitti?06:39
didrocksapart from some teddy bear experiment? ;)06:39
RAOFdidrocks: You're aware of some of the unity upgrade bugs we've been running into, right?06:40
didrocksRAOF: the crash on startup for some people?06:40
pittididrocks: quite nice indeed; it was nice and sunny, we played some table tennis and some board game (we had a guest until yesterday)06:40
pittididrocks: how was your's?06:41
RAOFdidrocks: I'm not sure if that's the one; the one where you get just the desktop without any windows.  Compiz hasn't crashed, but it's not drawing anything either.06:41
didrockspitti: was nice as well, we want to a wine bar where Julie may expose her paintings06:41
Sarvattyeah that and the corruption from 963093, majority of the X bugs over the weekend have been that or 96363306:41
didrocksRAOF: right, it's linked to the issue I linked on my bug and the corruption we saw on Friday06:41
didrocksRAOF: we discussed it extensively, duflu is looking at it06:42
RAOFdidrocks: Cool.  Just checking :)06:42
didrocksRAOF: if you have any more info for him, please ping him06:42
cndrickspencer3, I have the same trackpad here, though it's the next newer model of netbook, a dell mini 101206:57
cndI don't have any issues clicking and dragging06:57
BigWhaleIs it just me or resize handles for windows are 1px wide again? :/07:53

chrisccoulsonhmmm, since last week, lots of people are complaining that firefox is going unresponsive for 10-15 seconds every time it comes in to focus09:25
chrisccoulsonwho broke it?09:25
chrisccoulsonthis isn't the HUD menu mining stuff is it? ;)09:25
seb128chrisccoulson, would it take 15 seconds for firefox to populate its menus?09:26
didrocksdholbach: look for the unitymtgrabhandles09:26
seb128chrisccoulson, is that precise specific?09:26
didrocksdholbach: do you have it enabled?09:26
didrocks(any of the option)09:26
dholbachhum, let me see if I can find it09:26
chrisccoulsonseb128, if people have large bookmark menus, then it wouldn't surprise me09:26
didrocks"Unity MT Grab Handles" should be the plugin name09:26
chrisccoulsonthe performance of dbusmenu for large menus is pretty bad, which is why google disabled bookmarks entirely for chrome09:27
dholbachdidrocks, yes, enabled09:27
chrisccoulson(as people were seeing a minute or so of CPU just to send the menus over the bus)09:27
didrocksdholbach: can you disable the options, like "Toggle handles" "Show Handles", "Hide Handles"09:27
didrocks?09:27
didrocksdholbach: the plugin can be activated still09:27
dholbachdidrocks, that's the case09:27
dholbachall disabled, plugin activated09:27
didrocksah, so not that09:27
seb128chrisccoulson, well, would firefox hang for 15 seconds with appmenu when you would try to open a menu before?09:28
seb128chrisccoulson, are all those users on precise?09:28
asacdidrocks: still crashes09:29
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, we've had complaints of firefox hanging for several seconds when opening the bookmarks menu. but now it seems to be every time the window is focused09:29
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, on precise09:29
asaccannot get you the bug id until i have window decorations :)09:29
seb128chrisccoulson, so yeah it's likely the hud09:29

dholbachno idea :-/09:33

didrocksweird that it didn't work on asac's machine09:33
jibeldidrocks, if I run unity --reset that fix the compiz startup bug09:33

didrocksseems there are multiple issues09:34

didrocksjibel: can you try to reset only the list of active plugins?09:34
pittiseb128: but still, if the sync takes longer than 2 seconds or so, there still needs to be a progress bar to prevent you from removing it09:34
didrocksjibel: it's under /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins09:34
pittiseb128: ah, so that's after the progress dialog09:35
seb128pitti, well unity is not blocking that, it's just sending a libnotify message on dnd to the bin09:35

seb128quite good09:36
seb128spent the afternoon reading in the sun yesterday09:36
jibeldidrocks, no effect. compiz doesn't start. do you want the content of ~/.xsession-errors ?09:36
seb128went running as well09:36
didrocksjibel: can still be helpful (but not sure, we got some)09:36
pittimvo: guten Morgen, wie gehts?09:37
didrocksjibel: can you try to revert the configuration plugin after plugin?09:37
didrocksjibel: like gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1/plugins/animation09:37
seb128pitti, so, beta2...how realistic is it to do translation update upload for GNOME 3.4 today?09:37
didrocksand restart09:37
didrocksjibel: maybe start by unitymtgrabhandle and unityshell09:38
didrocksI know it's quite tedious, sorry :/09:38
pittiseb128: they will be stripped and we can't get a new set of langpacks for b209:38
pittiseb128: so would that actually help much?09:38
pittiseb128: today is still time, we just don't have any margin for error09:38
smspilla1didrocks: is it not possible to get a trace of the startup crash ?09:38
=== smspilla1 is now known as smspillaz
pittiseb128: so I'd consider an upload to fix a critical bug, but not sure how useful upstream translation updates are at that point09:39
smspillazsurely we can replace /usr/bin/compiz with a script that runs it through gdb in screen09:39
seb128pitti, can we use proposed?09:39
seb128pitti, so we can stack stuff there and they are visible :p09:39
didrockssmspillaz: which startup crash? There is no crash (apart from latest asac's new), a hang09:39
pittiseb128: sure09:39
didrockssmspillaz: that's still what we are tracking since Thursday09:39
seb128pitti, well I would just like to get 3.4 updates rolling rather than stacked for friday09:39
smspillazdidrocks: oh, didn't we establish that it was being respawned ?09:39
smspillazafter a crash or something ?09:39
didrockssmspillaz: no, unity/compiz is started09:39
pittiseb128: oh, is 3.4 final out? tarballs due today?09:39
didrockssmspillaz: nothing is displayed09:39
seb128pitti, and I don't like keeping stuff in unapproved for a week it often leads to people not noticing, duplication, etc09:40
didrocksno redrawing09:40
seb128pitti, yes09:40
pittiseb128: somehow I missed the announcement then09:40
seb128pitti, tarballs today09:40
smspillazdidrocks: so it starts and then just hangs09:40
pittiseb128: I did get the ones for "please make your .92 tarballs" two weeks ago09:40
seb128there are already half a dozen09:40
smspillazdidrocks: and no previous instance comes before it ?09:40
didrockssmspillaz: hangs are just don't redraw09:40
seb128pitti, maybe they forgot to send the email09:40
pittiseb128: I thought it was on d-d-l09:40
didrockssmspillaz: look at the bug reports, you have the .xsession-errors and everything09:40
didrockseven when you restart compiz manually and no other wm is running09:40
smspillazalrighty :)09:40
seb128pitti, yeah, they forgot to send the 3.4 tarballs due email09:41
seb128pitti, I asked on #gnome-hackers09:41
pittiseb128: ok, thanks for the warning; will do the pygobject release today then, and upload to debian, so we can sync09:41
seb128pitti, https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree#Schedule09:42
pittino need to do that today, though, no changes since .9309:42
pittiseb128: so yes, staging in -proposed sounds great09:42
seb128pitti, good09:42
pittiseb128: it would avoid the arch desync errors that we use to have09:43
seb128pitti, it also makes updates visible on -changes09:43
pittiseb128: I think didrocks's unity release on Friday went really well09:43
seb128so avoid people overlooking them09:43
seb128indeed09:43
pittiyes, twice even :)09:43
mvopitti: hello! danke, gut!09:44
pittimvo: how does apt compute the scores for upgrading? i. e. Considering gir1.0-gtk-2.0:amd64 3 as a solution to gir1.2-gtk-2.0:amd64 309:44
didrocksfunny, I had the same idea of -proposed and GNOME 3.4 this week-end ;)09:44
pittimvo: i. e. how can I increase the gir1.2 one, or lower the gir1.0 one?09:44
pittimvo: (note that gir1.0-* doesn't exist any more)09:44
seb128didrocks, ;-)09:45
mvopitti: priority, rdepends are the common ones and it preferes to keep the existing one if the scores are the same09:45
pgranerdidrocks, has anyone reported all windows being invisible (panel too) since the last compiz update?09:46
pittimvo: does it count the number of conflicts or something similar?09:46
pittimvo: i. e. would it help to add an additional breaks/conflicts to some package?09:47
pittimvo: like libgtk2.0-dev conflicts: gir1.0-*09:47
didrockspgraner: right, there are some cases about it09:47
pitti?09:47
didrockspgraner: you can try running unity --reset in a tty109:47
didrockspgraner: then logout/login again, it seems it fixed it09:47
pgranerdidrocks, no go, I found that bug report, when I do my box locks up09:48
seb128chrisccoulson, sorry got sidetracked, so I think the hud has to poke for the menus when the win gets in focus, how would it work otherwise? I guess it could do it when the hud ui opens...09:48
seb128chrisccoulson, https://code.launchpad.net/~desrt/indicator-appmenu/hud-rewrite-wip/+merge/97716 was the xul support merge I think09:49
mvopitti: unfortunately not, just dependencies/recommends that are installed or maked install09:50
pittimvo: or would it help to change the conflicts: into a breaks? (gir1.2 already replaces: gir1.0-*, so that would work)09:50
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, i'm not sure how best to handle it. i have tried as best as possible to not do anything with menus until the user really wants to see them, because dbusmenu is just far too slow09:50
seb128chrisccoulson, would using gmenus fix that?09:50
mvopitti: is this reproducable easily? if so, I can twiddle around a bit to see if I can find a good way09:50
didrockspgraner: urgh, so you are in the case it's still lock up? there are smspillaz and alan_g who can maybe help here ^09:50
seb128chrisccoulson, though I guess it's not precise material at this point09:50
didrockspgraner: otherwise, use -2d for now :(09:50
pittimvo: right, let me try to get a small test case from a lucid live CD; then I can play with the local Packages files to check this09:51
pgranerdidrocks, ok, anything I should be doing to trouble shoot?09:51
pittimvo: I just thought you might have a recipe how to tweak the scores09:51
mvopitti: sounds good, thanks!09:51
chrisccoulsonhaving a 15 second pause when opening the bookmark menu is bad enough, but having it every time the window focuses is not great :(09:51
chrisccoulsonseb128, i'm not sure whether gmenu would be better. maybe ;)09:51
mvopitti: the options are limited :/ priority, rdepends and provides is what is available09:51
pittimvo: ooh, Provides:?09:52
chrisccoulsoni wonder whether to try removing icons from the bookmarks menu?09:52
pittimvo: I don't think changing priority is an option; rdepends for 1.2 is hard to tweak09:52
chrisccoulsonalthough, i guess that might make some people unhappy09:52
mvopitti: I think if 1.2 provides 1.0 that should add to the 1.2 score - or is it already doing this?09:53
pittimvo: no, it's not09:53
didrockspgraner: if unity --reset didn't work for you, I'm quite unsure of what to do TBH, that's why I tried to ping the dx team here ^09:53
mvopitti: iirc you mentioned that this is ok as its essntially really providing it, right?09:53
pittimvo: and technically it's wrong09:53
mvopitti: meh, then lets not do it09:53
pittimvo: i. e. for a partial upgrade, if you only install gir1.2 instead of gir1.0, but keep lucid, it'll break09:53
mvopitti: ok, then that is not a option09:54
alan_gpgraner: what can I do to help?09:55
mvopitti: apt-pkg/algorithms.cc:512 (MakeScore()) is what builds the score in case you are interessted in the (glory) details :)09:55

ogra_heh, i dont touch unity anymore ... only unity-2d ...12:43
ogra_i cant get along with the totally broken alt+tab behavior in 3D12:44
asacwell. its not so nice if your mumble or twinkle window disappears like it did last time i used this :)12:44
sorenogra_: I can relate to that.12:45
Beretogra_, that's fixed12:45
ogra_(its the only thing that stops me from using 3D though, beyond that i really like it)12:45
Beretbut I was with you12:45
ogra_Beret, how ?12:45
sorenogra_: I switched to the 2d edition for a couple of days, but I got *extremely* frustrated that the hud kept stealing focus whenever I alt-tab'ed to something else, because I'm apparently too quick (so it thought I was "tapping" alt and insisted on popping up the hud and stealing focus).12:46
Beretthat somewhat depends on which specific breakage you're talking12:46
Beretogra_, are you talking about the HUD popping up?12:46
ogra_if i have 20 teminals open it actually shows me all 20 ?12:46
Beretah no12:46
Beretogra_, but you can see all of the in alt-tab12:46
Beretbetter than ifit showed them all inline IMO12:46
ogra_it a) massively slows me down due to having to wait for them to pop up12:47
Beretyou don't want12:47
Beretwhen you alt-tab to terminal hit the down arrow12:47
ogra_b) i usually land in the wrong one after it popped up12:47
Berets/want/wait/12:47
sorenogra_: Don't you have problem with the hud stealing focus in unity-2d?12:47
Beretyeah waiting for them to pop up would suck12:47
ogra_c) i seriously dont want to hit any additional keays to switch windows12:47
ogra_d) i cant switch back and forth between two windows if multiple ones are open and any additional win shows up during my alt+tab12:48
ogra_(and i need to fully loop through the complete window liast to actually get back to a back and forth switch between the two i had initially used)12:48
sorenThe main problem with unity's window switching is the misconception that because two windows are owned by the same application (gnome-terminal), they're somehow funcationally related.12:49
ogra_soren, i have had issues with the HUD, yes, but that seems fixed atm12:49
ogra_soren, ++12:49
sorenogra_: Fascinating. I actually screamed out loud at it a couple of days ago and switched back to unity-3d.12:49
sorenMaybe it's all better now.12:50
ogra_maybe my fingesr got slower :)12:50
=== MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow

sorenI would try to alt-tab between two apps or alt-[12345689] between tabs and it would steal focus and prevent me from actually switching tabs/apps.12:51

sorenEr...12:51
ogra_usually my subconcious adapts quickly to new stuff on the desktop as long as its not to intrusive12:51
sorenNo.12:51
soren"I would try [...]" was right :)12:51
ogra_the alt+tab behavior sadly is way to intrusive12:51
sorenogra_: Yeah, I'm the same way.12:51
ogra_and makes working for me nearly impossible12:51
sorenogra_: I never understood the fuss around moving the buttons to the other side of the window. It took all of 5 minutes to get used to that.12:52
ogra_since in 80% of the cases i land in the wrong window now12:52
ogra_yeah12:52
ogra_same for me12:52
seb128ogra_, you can use the old compiz alt-tab under 3d btw12:53
sorenseb128: !!!12:53
sorenseb128: How?12:53
seb128just unset the keybindings in ccsm and activate it12:53
soren*drool*12:53
seb128soren, it's a ccsm plugin12:53
ogra_seb128, is that documented anywhere ?12:53
ogra_ah, cool12:53
seb128ogra_, no, it's a ccsm thing12:53

Beretit's evil in nature12:53
seb128the new alt-tab works fine for most people12:54
ogra_its really the only thing that keeps me from using 3D12:54
seb128so no need to document that12:54
Beretogra_, I recommend giving the new one a shot first12:54
Beretogra_, as I said, you don't have to wait for anything to pop up12:54
ogra_Beret, i tried for more than a week12:54
Beretogra_, not if you waited for windows to pop up you didn't12:54
Beretyou tried it without knowing how it worked :)12:54
ogra_well, if it forces me to change my finger memory for alt+tab it has lost already :)12:55
ogra_you wont get me to use alt+tab plus numbers or cursor keys12:55
Beretso my ATI desktop is now useless, someone tell me this is reported all over the place?12:55
ogra_then i rather use the mouse and click on the mauncher12:55
Beretogra_, classic case of i-won't-change12:55
Beretgo with ccsm then ;)12:55
ogra_right12:55

Beretseb128, fwiw, it does that on every login12:58
seb128Beret, can you try to log in again and see if that fixed it?12:58
Beretothers on my team had the same problem12:58
Beretsure12:58
seb128Beret, yeah, there are a couple of known issue12:58
seb128Beret, which are being tracked12:58
seb128Beret, they seems racy and happening to some people upgrading only12:59

Sweetsharkpitti: I can reproduce bug 916291. It is the libreoffice-common postinst hook of 3.4/oneiric that is causing the trouble, not the one from precise. So, we could make an SRU for oneiric, I guess, but that might not help in all cases (as people might not upgrade before release-upgrade).13:01

chrisccoulsondesrt, yeah, i'm not sure yet. but it seemed to start towards the end of last week14:00
chrisccoulsonand i'm not seeing it, unfortunately :(14:00
desrtya.... around the time the XUL changes landed14:00
desrt(XUL changes for hud, i mean)14:00
desrtthose changes should only have an impact while an active search is occuring in the hud, though14:01
desrtso it's odd14:01
chrisccoulsonyeah, that's a bit strange14:01
desrti was wondering if you had any debug output showing you that you were getting 'opened' requests at startup or something14:02
desrtthe only thing i can think of from my side is that i'm leaking use counts.... which doesn't appear to be the case, after some testing14:02
desrtthe only way a usecount can leak is if unity crashes14:02
desrt(ie: goes away without properly closing the query)14:02
desrtin the normal case of closing the hud box it appears to be working properly...14:03

pittiSweetshark: let me check something in the policy14:28
pittiSweetshark: ok, so the new package's postinst can't clean up after failures of the old ones' (unlike preinst scripts)14:30
pittiSweetshark: so adding that bunch of conflicts ought to work, yes14:30
desrtchrisccoulson: so interesting note14:52
desrtchrisccoulson: with the latest version of firefox+menu integration, when i first see the menuitems they are not submenus14:53

pittiSweetshark: you could boot a lucid live system with enough RAM (2 GB perhaps), then move apt to precise, add your PPA, and try apt-get dist-upgrade, yes15:58

Sweetsharkwould simply using do-release-upgrade work too (because thats the scenario I am currently using) or does it do some magic to disable ppas during the transition?16:01

desrtjbicha: poke17:08
jbichadesrt: good afternoon17:11
desrtjbicha: did you look into packaging boxes?17:11
jbichadesrt: it's packaged in Debian experimental, I'm afraid it's looking unlikely for Precise as it now requires libvirt 0.9.1017:13
jbichalibvirt 0.9.10 is still in experimental as the Debian dev said there's a few regressions & he's in the process of moving or something17:13
desrtgotcha17:14
desrtthanks for the input -- i won't waste my time trying :)17:14
jbichait's too bad as I chased the dependencies for it for several weeks & then learned it wouldn't run on my laptop (no hw virtualization)17:16
desrtdoes the gnome3 ppa have some sort of a 'sru' policy that's different from business-as-usual during the unstable cycle?17:19
desrtie: do you make some attempt to stop doing disruptive changes after the release of the corresponding ubuntu version?17:19
jbichadesrt: I guess it depends on what you mean by disruptive, we don't want to break any one's computers but it's not really frozen either17:27
jbichamore specifically, I think it would be a good idea to backport libvirt from Quirky & add Boxes to the Precise PPA17:28
=== chaoticuk_ is now known as chaoticuk
seb128jbicha, doesn't seem a great idea if libvirt is known to have regressions...17:35
seb128jbicha, do you know if the new libvirt is really required or if we would revert the commit that require the new version or something?17:35
jbichaseb128: right, once the regressions are fixed & it migrates to wheezy17:36
jbichaI think it's harder to revert since Boxes depends on the new libvirt-glib which needs the new libvirt17:36
seb128ok17:37
seb128so yeah, seems ppa material17:37

Sweetsharkbryceh: around?22:48
brycehSweetshark, yep22:49
brycehSweetshark, thanks for the patch btw; haven't tested it yet.22:49
Sweetsharkbryceh: oh, patch wasnt by me. I will test and tweak it a bit still.22:50
brycehok22:51
Sweetsharkbryceh: But it would be nice if you would have a look if it seems to be doing roughly what you expect.22:51
brycehsure, I'll review the patch right now22:51
Sweetsharkit only fixes part of the problem as it hops to $HOME, when you want your file is a readonly file in /tmp and you click safe-as.22:53
brycehSweetshark, for the use case I've seen, that should be sufficient22:55
brycehSweetshark, and looking at the patch, yes looks like that's what it does and I think it'd do the trick22:55
Sweetsharkit doesnt help if you just "safe", however, I dont think there a is good way around that. If the file is in /tmp and the user saves there (IIRC the user would need to toggle of "read-only" manually then), we dont want to pop up a dialog (because a CMS like Alfresco or O3Spaces or whatever might actually have the doc there and expect it there).22:56
Sweetsharkbryceh: Ok, so I will push to upstream master (3.6) tomorrow and backport it to our 3.5 packaging (with some massaging, for example we dont want that check on windows).22:59
brycehright, however in the use case of saving from web mail I think the file in /tmp is made read-only so clicking "save" should prompt the user to re-save as something else.  So I think this implementation will do22:59
brycehgreat.  Let me know if you need testing.22:59
Sweetsharkbryceh: just tested it: A read-only file has "save" disabled. You need to click "edit file" to be able to change it and even then you can only "save as". So, the patch looks good.23:02
