czajkowskimorning12:40
czajkowskivery quiet in here this week12:40
ryeczajkowski: yes, time after time i type something then erase to check whether the ssh session is stale12:42
czajkowskiheh12:42
ryeeven though i have byobu with clock12:42
ryeralsina: O_O12:47
ryeralsina: i thought it is being unsubscribed12:47
ralsinarye: nope12:47
ralsinarye: try it though, I may be wrong about it.12:47
ralsinarye: but it will have metadata for all the files, and the files will not be there, so it will delete them, IIRC12:48
ryeralsina:  2012-05-04 15:48:04,455 - ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.AncestorsINotProc - INFO - Got MOVED_FROM on path '/home/rtg/Test', unsubscribing udf <UDF id '4531f4bf-ae1b-40ae-91b9-57257fe023f2', node_id 'f2b7b7fc-01d8-4053-a6fd-c9e2fed47a81', generation 19606L, active True, real path '/home/rtg/Test'>12:48
ralsinarye: OTOH, II did not RC I just looked very foolish ;-)12:48
ralsinarye: that is moving, not deleting. So I am only half wrong so far ;-)12:48
ryeralsina: well....12:49
ralsinarye: stop syncdaemon, move it, start syncdaemon12:49
ryeralsina: deleting a folder is impossible w/o deleting all the contents, and these all will propagate to sd through inotify12:49
ralsinarye: yes, but try moving it while syncdaemon is not running, which is what I described in the mail12:49
ralsinarye: typically caused by mounting a removable media as a UDF and then failing to mount12:50
ryeralsina: i understand you12:51
ryeralsina: this will happen only if the root folder continues to exist12:51
ralsinaohhhh right12:51
ralsinarye: you are right, I was wrong12:52
ralsinarye: I will send a clarification12:52
ryeralsina: and in this case we need to do some clever checking of the mountpoint, to tell whether it vanished vs everything was deleted12:52
ralsinarye: I think if everything inside a volume disappeared withouth SD seeing it, we can assume it's dangerous enough that12:54
ralsinasomething smarter should be done12:54
ralsinarye: and thanks for catching that!12:54
ryeralsina: hm, that would also work12:54
ryeralsina: that would also work pretty well12:55
ralsinarye: so, the triggering condition would be "a volume with nothing in it", which is easy to detect12:55
ryeralsina: a volume that has nothing in it and it used to have something12:56
ralsinarye: right12:56
ryeralsina: otherwise all empty volumes will be unsubscribed and I have a test udf which is almost always empty12:57
ralsinarye: right12:57
ryeoh, windows7 can mount NFS shares12:57
ralsinarye: yep12:58

thisfredralsina: what is the best way to iterate over the items in a QListWIdgets? There is items() but that expects a QMimeData argument, which I don't know what to pass in for, because huh what?18:14
ralsinathisfred: uh... give me 1'18:15
ralsinathisfred: .item()18:16
thisfredthx18:17
ralsinafor i in range(listwidgetthingie.count()): whatever.item()18:17
ralsinafor i in range(listwidgetthingie.count()): whatever.item(i) // I mean18:17
thisfredthat is mildly unpythonic ;)18:18
thisfredbut it works18:18
ralsinathisfred: there is an iterator thingie but it's C++ to the core :-)18:18
ralsinathisfred: you could even do a all_items = listWidget.findItems('', QtCore.Qt.MatchRegExp)18:20
ralsinathisfred: or create the obvious generator that yields the items. All caveats about the universe imploding if you add/remove items apply18:21
thisfredralsina: yeah, and of course that's what I need to do :)18:23
SpamapSQuestion about lp:ubuntone-storage-protocol .. it has no release-3_0_0 tag .. was it branched before 3.0.0 was released?18:25
mmccmandel, dobey's right. check it at your convenience…18:30
mmccmandel, that is: https://code.launchpad.net/~mikemc/ubuntuone-client/refactor-platform-event-logging/+merge/10430118:30
dobeySpamapS: huh?18:30
dobeySpamapS: oh, yes, the tags are on the stable-3-0 branch18:30
dobeySpamapS: we are branching the stable series at the beginning of the cycle, and make all releases from the stable series18:31
dobeymmcc: i think he's gone to the pub or something :-/18:31
mmccdobey, yeah I guess it's just past beer thirty over there18:32
dobeyyeah, it's 20:33 in Espana18:33
briancurtini wish 1:30 was beer thirty18:33
briancurtinrather, 13:3018:33
mmccbriancurtin: heh. the rangers-capitals game tomorrow is 12:30, that's gotta be close enough…18:36
SpamapSdobey: yeah, I see that. It made it fairly hard to determine that a certain merge into 3.0.0 was released or not18:36
SpamapSI would expect trunk to have all the tags :-P18:36
dobeySpamapS: why? LP has the stable-3-0 branch linked for the precise release, doesn't it?18:37
dobeySpamapS: is this for the SRUs I did?18:38
SpamapSYeah I found that later18:38
SpamapSdobey: yeah, they're releasing now :)18:38
dobeycool18:39
SpamapSwell, the oneiric ones anyway18:39
dobeyright18:39
dobeyi haven't done any others yet :)18:39
SpamapSdobey: what I mean by the confusion though, is that it seems odd that trunk wouldn't have all of the tags from the stable 3.0.0 branch, plus more.18:40
dobeySpamapS: yeah i understood what you meant18:41
dobeyi don't think there's any solution to that though18:42

mmccwrt. ralsina's email from earlier today, can someone catch me up on what UDF means? from context it sounds like a secondary synced folder? is it "user-defined folder"?18:46
ralsinammcc: exactly18:46
ralsinammcc: we always sync ~/Ubuntu One, but the user can choose other folders to sync, those are UDFs18:46
mmccralsina: aha thanks.18:46
ralsinammcc unless they are folders he gets from another user, those are "shares"18:46
mmccralsina: so that I understand this removal issue, the problem is it's hard to know whether a directory is empty because it's a vanished mount point or it's just been cleaned out while we weren't watching?18:49
ralsinammcc: exactly18:49
mmccralsina, ok. I think on macos we could do the right thing for removable storage… at least for 99% of users.18:50
ralsinammcc: cool, we need to think about those things18:51
ralsinammcc: anyway, currently it's not possible to sync outside the user's home, so it's not as bad (unless you can mount things arbitrarily in mac?)18:51
mmccralsina - you can definitely do whatever mounts you want in macos, but *I expect* 99.9% of people don't.18:52
mmccand the system handles removable storage and always puts it in /Volumes/18:53
ralsinammcc: so if we are in there, we can assume it's a removable device18:53
ralsinammcc: on linux that usually would be /media, too, so same idea18:53
mmccyes, to be exact - if it's in there (and it's not a symlink to /) then we know it's not the boot drive…18:53
dobeyoh man18:55
dobeythe internet is full of lulz18:55
dobeyralsina: well, we can use the proper API to dtermine if something is local or not18:56
dobeyralsina: remote filesystems don't go in /media, for example18:56
dobeyor mounted zip files18:58
ryeAn error has occurred during the check: Success19:04
rye^ my windows kvm images are corrupted19:04
dobey-ESUCCESS is my favorite error19:05
dobeyError: faild to fail!19:06
ryethey are bootable but cannot be cloned or converted19:07
ryei guess i have hit the bug with qemu-img19:07
ryeand qcow219:07
ralsinadobey: yes, we can examine the path looking for mountpoints19:09
ralsinadobey: and flag the volume as "on a removable device, treat carefully"19:09
dobeyralsina: or we could just use the simple glib or gio API which does everything already :)19:10
ryeok, this is definitely bad, deleted snapshot - disk became truncated19:10
ralsinadobey: sure :-)19:10
mmccralsina, dobey, from apple's docs, there is plenty of API to check if a given path is on a volume that is removable / ejectable / local, etc19:11
dobeyright19:12
mmccmuch smarter than my first thought to just make assumptions about /Volumes :)19:12
ralsinaI wonder how syncdaemon reacts to unmounting while it's running19:12
ralsina"hey a lot of files disappeared but I got no delete events!"19:13
mmccralsina me too - that's actually easier to solve (again on macos), since we can register callbacks for eject / unmount events19:13
ralsinammcc: on linux too, but they are async, so there is a good chance of weirdness19:14
mmccthis actually leads into something I wanted to discuss - it looks like the most straightforward way to get good mac integration is to write some C (or ObjC) extension modules. Is there any reason I should be trying to avoid that?19:20
mmccbuilding them right can be a little tricky but it's not a huge deal… just wondering if there were any reasons I wasn't thinking of…19:21
dobeywhat do you mean by "good mac integration" there?19:23
dobeyto get the notifications of mount points?19:23
mmccdobey, right now, I mean to access the equivalent of NetworkManager19:24
mmccbut the device add/eject callbacks are in C, and the volume info API is ObjC (although there is a 'bsd layer' C API too)19:24
dobeyhmm. what are we doing exactly for network on windows right now? just acting like there is always network and failing when things fail?19:25
mmccthat's what the darwin code does now. it looks like on Windows, it accesses windll.wininet.InternetGetConnectedState19:27
mmccwhich looks like the right thing19:28
dobeyah19:28
dobeyso it's basically using some magical ctypes stuff19:28
mmccthatis, ctypes.windll.19:29
mmccyes19:29
mmccso I guess at least for now I might be able to do the same thing and avoid building my own extension modules…19:29
dobeywe'll probably need to do that on osx too, but i guess there isn't API in Python that already wraps it19:29
mmccsorry, already wraps what?19:30
dobeyalready wraps the NSWhatever API19:31
mmccah, ok. so if we're OK adding a dependency on PyObjC, we can get all the Cocoa frameworks bridged for us, then we just do "from Foundation import NSWhatever" and we're off19:34
mmccI've written a couple apps like that, it's not bad.19:34
dobeywe'll probably need to do that. ralsina?19:36
mmccwell, it's something to think about. It depends on the number of times we need to call ObjC api. C api should be easy with ctypes19:41
mmccand although PyObjC is continuously developed and used for a few shipping products, no one maintains it full-time.19:43
ralsinadobey: reading backlog19:43
ralsinammcc: yes ctypes is fine19:43
dobeymmcc: so it's about time for pyobjc to make it into the core library? :)19:44
mmccdobey: hmm. if that means Ronald would get some donations to spend time on it, then sure :)19:48
dobeyheh19:48
dobeyit means Python core library is where good modules go to die :P19:49
briancurtinin the same vein, i'd eventually like to put pywin32 in as well19:54
ralsinabriancurtin: is there any chance of we ever getting a pywin32 egg?19:55
ralsinabriancurtin: I never managed to build it because it needs the full VS (not the express one)19:55
briancurtinralsina: i could look into building one if it would help19:56
ralsinabriancurtin: would make it possible to skip one manual step in the env setup, maybe19:56
ralsinabriancurtin: so, not important, now that we all have it setup ;-)19:57
thisfredralsina: one more fun question: can I prevent a qlistwidget from selecting the first row automatically?19:57
briancurtintrue. it is unfortunately one of the harder installers to find for python projects19:58
ralsinathisfred: of course19:58
ralsinathisfred: in fact, it only does that if the list has kbd focus19:58
ralsinathisfred: you want it to be selectable still?19:58
thisfredmaybe I did something stupid to cause it, but it always does it on startup19:58
thisfredralsina: yeah it should be selectable19:58
ralsinathisfred: setCurrentItem(None) IIRC19:59
thisfredralsina: ah19:59
thisfredralsina: but when do I do that: the selection seems to happen after my __init__ is executed19:59
