nik90hyperair, ping14:53
hyperairpong14:54
hyperairnik90: pong14:54
hyperairhang on, i think my network's gonna go14:55
nik90hyperair, can you set the bug priority to high...its a potential precise blocker.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/98234314:55
ubot5Ubuntu bug 982343 in unity "App's icon remains in the launcher even after cancelling the installation process." [Undecided,Confirmed]14:55
hyperairi don't think it's a precise blocker though..14:56
hyperairi think it would be better if you ask one of the unity devs14:56
nik90oh, i thought you were one14:57
hyperairand for the record, nothing's (to my knowledge) blocked ubuntu's release since 6.0614:57
hyperaira bug like this is really minor to be called a "precise blocker"14:57
nik90well it can be confusing to new users to see the icon still in the launcher14:57
hyperairbut that's about it. it's not a complete showstopper. not everyone installs apps from there either14:58
nik90what installing apps from the usc? I thinnk a lot of users do14:58
nik90but yeah it is not a blocker..14:58
hyperairhang on, usc or unity?14:58
nik90well this bug occurs when you install apps from the usc14:59
nik90if you cancel the installation, the app icon is still present in the launcher14:59
hyperairon the unity launcher?14:59
nik90yes14:59
nik90on the unity launcher14:59
hyperairwait, i didn't know they even ended up in the launcher to begin with..14:59
nik90oh..well it was added with unity 5.8 onwards14:59
hyperairi thought you had to explicitly add it to the unity luancher?15:00
nik90every app that you install from the usc, is automatically (by default) added to the unity launcher15:00
nik90you have the option to disable this option in the usc though15:00
hyperairO_o that must get cluttered pretty fast..15:00
nik90but by DEFAULT, it goes into the launcher15:00
hyperairyou're talking about the launcher, right? the bar on the left?15:00
hyperairnot the dash?15:00
nik90yes yes the bar on the left (unity launcher)15:00
nik90:)15:00
nik90you can try for yourself15:00
hyperairlemme try...15:00
hyperairoho so it does.15:02
nik90yup15:02
nik90so you think the bug deserves a high priority?15:02
* hyperair shrugs15:05
hyperairlet the unity developers handle it15:05
hyperairi see it as a minor inconvenience15:05
hyperaira mostly cosmetic thing.15:05
nik90ok15:06

malinmy lense won't start atuomatically.19:17
mhall119malin: using the wikipedia tutorial?21:28
mhall119you need to run "quickly run" after you "sudo quickly install"21:29
malinmhall119: ah, so that's the command. Nope. I am working on my own lense :)21:29
malinthe lense autostart, but the scope dosen't21:30
mhall119malin: using Singlet and Quickly?21:30
malinnope21:34
malinthis is my project: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~malinkb/unity-buss/unity-buss-experimental/files/head:/21:34
malinand I have installed the .lens file to /usr/share/unity/lenses/<name on my lense>/21:35
malin.service to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/21:35
malinand the file called buss to /usr/lib/unity-lense-<name of lense>/21:35
malinmhall119: the only thing I can not do is to make the entire lens to start automatically :)21:40
davidcallemalin, what does your .service file look like?22:16
davidcallemalin, maybe it's because your daemon file is not an executable. Right click on it, in properties -> permissions -> check "Allow executing file as a program"22:18
malindavidcalle: that might be it. I will check it. I did an ls -lha | grep name of deameon and it looked equal the other files, but I will take another look22:18
davidcallemalin, you can also make it executable via a terminal "sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/unity-lens-buss/buss"22:19
malindavidcalle: davidcalle it's not set as allow executing file as program, but so ain't the other unity-lense service files22:20
malinah that program22:21
malinbelived you thinked about the sericefile22:21
malinI can do it to the buss :)22:21
malinI wonder about one thing22:21
davidcallemalin, yeah, the .service file is just the way the system finds about your program and knows what to start.22:21
malinwhat do I need to make launchpad make a deb-file for me?22:21
malinI have made a ppa22:21
malinyeah22:21
davidcalleYou need a few other files. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~davidc3/onehundredscopes/piratebay-precise/files22:23
malinI looked in the video-lense-sourceode and figured out you made the video-lense in ubuntu :)22:23
davidcalleHere is an example.22:23
davidcallemalin, indeed :)22:23
malin:) that is so cool22:23
davidcalleFirst, look at setup.py and MANIFEST.in : the manifest file lists all the files that need to be installed on the system. The setup.py file says where they need to be installed.22:24
malinokey, so I have to make all those folders and that setup.py ? I think I will work on that during this week now and then.22:24
davidcallemalin, thanks22:24
malin:)22:24
malinI haven't used it very much, the video-lense, but maybe I should, it could make me find things faster22:25
davidcallemalin, those two files are the first bits. Then, the big part is the debian folder. It's what will allow Launchpad to create a .deb.22:25
malinokey, so the setup.py and manfiest.in is the the files I have to make myself22:25
malinah, okey22:26
malinit's bit of work, but I should try to make it myself22:27
malintoo22:27
malindon't know what depneds I need for the lense22:28
malinbut I think I have to get some sleep.22:28
davidcallemalin, once you have done those two, I'll give you a hand with the debian folder if you need one. But basically, you have to look at each file and change things that are irrelevant to your lens22:28
malinAnd again. thank you so much for help :)22:28
malinokey :) I will22:28
malingood night :)22:28
davidcallemalin, no problem, good night :)22:28
