bschaeferon*00:54
thomibschaefer: Hey00:56
thomisorry - had a power cut at thumper's place, so I drove home00:56

bschaeferand cats need fire haha00:57
bschaeferthat's good! Hope your traveling went well also!00:58
bschaeferso pretty much with the ibus anthy sometimes that check box is still off! It seems...it is very weird...00:58
thomiyeah, I'm almost over the jetlag00:58
bschaefernice!00:58
thomiwhich checkbox?00:59
bschaeferumm that wouldn't allow adding any engines00:59
* bschaefer looks up the name00:59
thomiIt's going to take me a while to get mu head back into the game... so much happened at UDS00:59
bschaeferthe Customize active input names check box under Input Methods00:59
thomiahh00:59
thomiright00:59
bschaeferyeah I was listing in as much as I could haha01:00
bschaeferbut Im guessing you had to do more actual work ;)01:00
thomibschaefer: so we're setting that checkbox from autopilot, right?01:00
bschaeferlet me pull up a video of it!01:00
bschaeferyeah!01:00
bschaeferthat is what fixed Pinyin and Hangul01:00
bschaeferbut anthy is still being fussy01:00
thomihmm, ok01:01
bschaeferI don't want to strain you to much, just wanted to you see it haha!01:02
bschaeferhttps://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/dx-autopilot-fix-ibus/82/label=1EBEE0FF-DAC9-11DF-BBDA-64A98C34D485/artifact/artifacts/autopilot.tests.test_ibus.IBusTestsAnthy.test_simple_input_hud%20%28system,commit_enter%29.ogv01:02
bschaeferbut what is odd is a video from run 81 shows that the toggle is ON, but it still fails :(01:03
bschaeferfor example this one has the toggle box on :(, but anthy still fails to work:01:04
bschaeferhttps://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/dx-autopilot-fix-ibus/81/label=1EBEE0FF-DAC9-11DF-BBDA-64A98C34D485/artifact/artifacts/autopilot.tests.test_ibus.IBusTestsAnthy.test_simple_input_dash%20%28user,commit_j%29.ogv01:04
bschaeferthomi, but that I was pushing some test after that then jenkins got stuck! Sooo yeah01:04
thomiis it still stuck?01:04
bschaeferyeah01:04
bschaeferit keeps rebuilding it...01:05
bschaeferbut not running that test, I figured you were busy and I can always wait haha01:05
* thomi looks now01:05
bschaeferit went crash a couple days ago...01:05
bschaefercrazy*01:05
thomi*sigh* ssh tunnel seems to have died01:08
bschaefer:(01:08
thomihmm, rsync isn't working I'm guessing we no longer make precise daily ISO images:01:10
thomi+ rsync -c -azL -i --progress cdimage.ubuntu.com::cdimage/daily-live/current/*-desktop-i386.iso working/daily-live.iso01:10
thomiERROR: destination must be a directory when copying more than 1 file01:10
thomirsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(571) [Receiver=3.0.8]01:10
thomishould we be using precise or quantal I wonder?01:10
bschaeferoo ok, well that would sense01:11
bschaeferhmm01:11
bschaeferwell if quantal makes ibus work then we should use that :P01:11
bschaeferhaha,01:11
bschaeferthomi, I think we should push those changes you made that fixed about 66% of the failures01:12
bschaeferwell the Pinyin and hangul, to the main branch01:12
thomibschaefer: do you feel like preparing a MP to unity trunk with those changes?01:12
bschaeferyeah I can!01:12
thomiWe obviously want to strip out all the debuggin stuff we added!01:12
bschaefersince I really changed that branch haha01:12
bschaeferyeah01:12
* bschaefer goes to do that01:13
thomiI need to debug a unity crash, so I may not be around for a while...01:14
bschaeferno worries, Ill get that branch set up and Ill email you if you're not around with the MP01:15
bschaefergood luck!01:15
thomifound the problem... :(01:32
bschaeferand I just pushed the branch!01:36
bschaeferwhat was the problem?01:37
bschaeferthomi, https://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/unity/ap-ibus-test-fixes/+merge/10559501:39
thomibschaefer: cheers01:56
thomithe problem was that you can't add a null gchar* to a GVariant01:56
thomithe root cause is that we're using a gchar* in the first place :(01:56
thomibschaefer: approved - thanks01:58
bschaeferthomi, o, hmm could you point me to your branch that fixes that? Did you just change it to a gstring? or std::string?02:00
bschaeferthomi, and np!02:00
* bschaefer still new ish to GVariant haha02:00
bschaeferis02:00
thomibschaefer: I'm changing it to a std::string now02:01
bschaeferoo cool!02:01
bschaeferI just want to make sure I don't make that same error and know how to fix it haha02:02
bschaeferthomi, thank you, and Im about to go to the golfing range. Have a good rest of your day :)02:02
thomiyou too02:03
thomihane fun!02:03

huayrahey11:37
huayraHow is support for Unity in other distros or kernels?11:37
ZhenechN/A11:38
huayraI am thinking on moving back to debian (jumped onto Ubuntu in 2005) but would like to keep using thsi as the GUI/shell11:38
huayraZhenech, you mean it is not available at all, or people has not packaged it yet?11:39
Zhenechfeel free to join me and other in #debian-ayatana on irc.debian.org and help us bring unuty to debian :)11:39
Zhenechi mean that it needs way too many ubuntu specific parts at the moment and thus not available11:39
Zhenechand tehre are not enough ppl to help11:40
Zhenech(as always)11:40
huayraZhenech, indeed. But I mean... IS the upstream work in unity so bad that it is hard-or-close-to-impossible to package it for debian?11:40
huayraI mean, I think of Ubuntu as debian...11:40
ZhenechI didnt say its bad11:41
Zhenechit just depends on much stuff, that isnt available outside ubuntu (yet)11:42

mhall119can a unity dev confirm that what this person is asking for isn't possible? http://askubuntu.com/questions/135146/how-to-add-checkbox-or-radio-buttons-to-a-unity-quicklist12:06

mhall119tedg: can you answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/98692/how-to-add-support-for-the-global-menu-to-a-python-non-gtk-non-qt-app ?  It seems to come up every once in a while, so it might be good to write up some documentation for it on developer.u.c16:04
tedgEh, it's kinda a hard question.16:05
tedgThe reality is "use a reasonable toolkit" I think is a reasonable answer :-)16:05
mhall119not as easy as just exporting a DBus menu under a certain name?16:05
tedgmhall119, Well, it's exporting it and registering it.  But we'd also like people to start converting to GMenuModel.16:06
tedgSo it's building a GMenuModel and exporting it.16:06
jussi01so... our ui is supposed to be touch friendly, right? I guess the HUD covers it, but is it the only way to access menu's on a touch device?16:06
mhall119does it currently support GMenuModel?16:06
tedgThen setting XAtoms...16:06
mhall119jussi01: the UI is supposed to work across form factors, not just touch16:07
tedgjussi01, We've talked about various things, but it'll definitely require a new rendering of the menus.  Since they're already abstracted, that's possible though.16:07
jussi01mhall119: yes, but I now have a touch device...16:07
mhall119jussi01: oh, fancy, which one?16:07
jussi01mhall119: old Dell XT216:07
jussi01for some values of old that is16:08
mhall119multi-touch capable?16:08
jussi01yes16:08
jussi01mhall119: its about 2 years old, I think16:10
jussi01mhall119: also, one little dashissue, if you like - try searching for quassel under applications16:14
mhall119jussi01: oh, so many  to choose from16:15
ccookejussi01: The HUD is much more useful on a device with a keyboard than touch, really16:16
mhall119looks like there are qt4 and qt5 versions16:16
jussi01mhall119: yeah, there is quassel, quassel client - easy. but then there are the non kde integrated versions (-qt4)16:16
mhall119jussi01: not really a dash issue, it should be fixed in the package descriptions16:16
mhall119https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/search/?q=quassel&op= lists the same 416:16
jussi01mhall119: ahh ok then. I thought it would be a dash issue because there is no tooltip or anything to get more info (like the package name...)16:17
mhall119file a bug against https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quassel16:17
jussi01mhall119: will do16:21
bregmajussi01, I have a Dell XT2, and while it's true multitouch, it leaves a lot to be desired16:44
osmosishow do I get rid of the sticky windows stickey mouse behavior? the edge of the screen always grabs my cursor when I am trying to go between screens, and when I am trying to drag windows across too.16:58
jonohey folks17:44
jonois there any particular reason why the default YouTube is not in the videos lens?17:44
mhall119davidcalle: ^^18:04
mhall119my guess would be API or license issues18:04
malinmhall119 and or davidcalle how was UDS?18:07
mhall119malin: fun but busy18:12
malinok :)18:14
malinin what metapackage is debuild ?19:03
malinand how can I search to figure out what metapackage a program is in?19:03
mhall119malin: just install ubuntu-dev-tools, it's the easiest way to get started20:13
mhall119apt-file will let you search for packages based on the files they contain20:14
davidcallejono, ping21:44
jonohey davidcalle21:44
davidcallejono, the default Youtube is not in the default video lens for "quality reasons", apparently, there was a lot of garbage coming with the results. You might want to ask it to ralsina in #ubuntuone21:45
davidcallejono, I kind of agree that it's missing.21:46
jonodavidcalle, gotcha21:46
jonoyeah it just struck me that most people will care about youtube21:46
thumperhi jono21:48
jonohey thumper21:48
Andy80davidcalle: actually che Youtube lens is not showing anything interesting. Belive me: people (including me) really expect to have the same results provided by a search on Youtube search box.22:15
