didrocksbonjour bonjour :)08:14
seb128didrocks, salut!08:15
seb128didrocks, how is London? how is the sprint going?08:15
seb128didrocks, how close are we to see a SRU or quantal upload? ;-)08:15
didrocksseb128: London is londonish again08:16
didrocksseb128: meaning rain :)08:16
sil2100Huush hush08:16
seb128hehe08:16
didrocksSRU, sil2100 is testing today the SRU packages08:16
seb128we got the sun back here :p08:16
didrockswe need to know if the bamf test failing was intended or not08:16
didrocks(like flacky or not)08:16
sil2100seb128: you stole our sun now didn't you?!08:16
seb128didrocks, sil2100: if you guys have a ppa, I'm still on precise and happy to install the candidates as well08:16
didrocksseb128: yeah, sil2100 has it08:16
seb128sil2100, heh, let's put things back in the right order, the weather you got is the one London is supposed to have, it's you guys who have been stealing our sun for 3 days08:17
sil2100seb128: ppa:sil2100/ppa08:17
sil2100:(08:17
didrocksseb128: no compiz upload to quantal though08:17
didrocksseb128: as we still experience some crashes08:17
didrocksand dx upstream seems to have other priorities08:17
didrockssame with gsettings, got emails telling it's not a priority for them right now08:17
seb128didrocks, ok :-(08:17
didrocksI'm quite unhappy08:18
sil2100seb128: I've uploaded compiz, libunity and bamf to this PPA08:18
didrocksespecially that we discussed it about Tim08:18
didrocksand it was "ok ok"08:18
seb128sil2100, cool, I will give them a run08:18
sil2100seb128: we're still waiting on BAMF though, since the merger encounter a problem with one of the tests08:18
sil2100seb128: so I'm waiting for Trevinho to look at that08:18
seb128ok08:18
seb128sil2100, but you just said it's in the ppa?08:18
seb128sil2100, you merged the patches in your version?08:19
didrocksseb128: he did :)08:19
sil2100seb128: yes, I cherry-picked them and pushed to a PPA for now08:19
sil2100seb128: but it's not the final version, since we need to get one of the patches fixed08:20
sil2100seb128: for bamf of course08:20
seb128right08:22
seb128didrocks, sil2100: thanks, I will give the ppa a try08:22
didrocksseb128: keep us in touch08:22
seb128will do08:23
popeydidrocks, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/60870108:28
ubot2Ubuntu bug 608701 in vino "vino establishes a HTTP connection to check connectivity" [Low,Fix released]08:28
seb128popey, hey, what about this bug?08:29
popeyseb128, i was just discussing it with didrocks here...08:30
seb128popey, isn't it fixed since oneiric?08:30
popeyvino makes an xmlrpc call out to two servers owned by upstream devs08:30
seb128popey, is it still doing that?08:30
popeyI don't see how it's fixed, the current source has it08:31
* popey looks further08:31
seb128popey, dunno, see cyphermox's comment #1208:31
popeyyeah, i am trying to figure out how it was dropped08:31
popeyor whether we have regressed08:31
popeybecause the webservices are still specified in capplet/webservices08:32
popeyand the webservices file mentions that the php file called at the remote end is also included in the source tarball, which it isnt08:33
popeydidrocks says it's in upstream git, not the tarball08:33
popeyI'd rather we had that php on one of our own servers, rather than upstream ones08:35
didrocksI know, we should put that on a popey's box!08:36
popey\o/08:36
* popey files an RT08:36
didrocksheh08:36
seb128popey, that was discussed by then but I think people didn't like the idea08:37
popeyI don't like the idea of random 3rd party sites knowing which ubuntu users have port 5900 open08:37
popeyespecially as those domains could expire, and expose us to a security issue letting randoms connect to our customer vnc ports08:38
seb128popey, right, that's not supposed to happen, cf cyphermox's comment08:38
seb128popey, how did you check the issue?08:38
seb128i.e what do you do and when is it contacting the service?08:38
jibelseb128, I added a testcase for bug 101549708:38

ubot2Gnome bug 596190 in Preferences Dialog "Misleading message about reachability from public network" [Critical,New]08:44
seb128popey, maybe they added it back since08:44
seb128popey, didrocks: reading the IRC log from by then, mdeslaur and others didn't think having a file hosted at canonical.com would be a good idea either08:47
seb128popey, didrocks: that could be perceived are us sneaking infos from users or something08:48
popeyhah08:48
popeyI'd rather we got that info than a domain squatter08:48
seb128popey, right, or we can try to think further and try to figure a way where nobody gets infos from users? ;-)08:49
popeyfair comment08:51
seb128popey, worth case just disable the "check if online" thing08:52
seb128it's not that useful?08:52
popeyI guess it's useful for our target users08:52
popeypeople who don't know port forwarding from a hole in the ground08:53
BigWhaleA lot of fuss on twitter about Canonical using QML/Qt for all their future applications. Is this also Ubuntu related?09:00
seb128BigWhale, it's only one of the platform available, Ubuntu doesn't force you to use anything and most of our applications are GTK based09:03
BigWhaleseb128, yeah, I was just wondering what is this all about. :) I wonder how many will pick it up as: "omg wtf, canonical is ditching gtk!" :)09:09
seb128BigWhale, I didn't follow whatever happened that recently started those tweets etc, but Qt has been pushed as a first class citizen platform for some time in Ubuntu, we got it on the CD in Oneiric and there was Qt tracks at UDS09:11
seb128BigWhale, it doesn't mean GTK doesn't remain a first class platform as well ;-)09:11
Laneyit's related as much as the choice of toolkit/libraries affects Ubuntu for any application ;-)09:13
topyliBigWhale: canonical can use tcl/tk if they like, for their own apps. the ubuntu desktop is still based on gnome and i don't see that changing any time soon. canonical is not ubuntu10:09
seb128sil2100, didrocks: libunity SRU fails verification (i.e the command in the bug still segfaults)10:10
seb128sil2100, didrocks: otherwise I didn't spot anything weird or regression so far10:10

* mpt wonders why we let people opt in to backports while opting out of security updates13:05
mpt... or opt in to -proposed updates while opting out of recommended updates ...13:06
ogra_-proposed is for testing, packages *can* be broken in there13:09
mptyes13:09
ogra_preferably users should only enable it when asked to test a fix13:09
mptI'm tempted to kick -proposed out of the GUI altogether13:09
mptbut probably won't13:09
ogra_that will make testing harder though13:09
mptIt's a beta-testing checkbox13:09
ogra_but the text should be rephrased :)13:10
seb128mpt, we maybe need an separate package for "contributors"13:10
ogra_"test fixes" or some such would make more clear what it does13:10
seb128mpt, i.e ask those people to install a package which has a dialog which gives the option for stuff like proposed, dbgsym, popcon, etc13:11
mptseb128, like the indicator replacement for launchpad-integration ... as well as easily reporting bugs etc, you could easily opt in to -proposed updates13:11
mptooh yes, dbgsym too13:11
seb128mpt, right13:11
seb128mpt, like a power users set ;-)13:11
ogra_++13:11
seb128sort of ubuntu-tweaks in spirit13:12
popeyand allow bug reporting in the non-dev release13:12
mptAnd maybe even pre-release versions could ship it by default, while release versions don't13:12
seb128right13:12
mlankhorstfor some reason -security wasn't able by default here :s13:12
seb128mlankhorst, how did you install?13:12
popeyi see a number of expert people complain that whoopsie makes it _harder_ for them to file real bugs and not error reports13:12
kenvandinethat's a great idea13:12
mptmlankhorst, for any setting that exists, some percentage of users will twiddle it by mistake :-)13:12
mlankhorstmpt: which is why defaults should be sane13:13
mlankhorst:P13:13
mptpopey, yeah, I've mentioned to ev the idea of a "contributor mode" for whoopsie13:13
mptmlankhorst, defaults are irrelevant to that problem13:13
mpt(though, yes, defaults should be sane)13:13
seb128mlankhorst, well, if security was not enabled for you that's a bug13:13
mptmlankhorst, oh, I misunderstood you. You think it was off by default. I'm guessing it was on by default but got twiddled off by mistake.13:14
mpthm13:15
mptIs there an easy way to see the complete list of -backports that have been issued for, say, Ubuntu 11.10?13:15
mptFound it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric-backports/allpackages13:16
dpmkenvandine, cool, yeah, I had to change the permissions to let you edit pages on d.u.c, you should be good to go now. I've been doing some edits to the tutorial and I've just tested the SRU from -proposed, which seems to be working well :)13:17
kenvandinewoot13:17
kenvandinei am adding an introduction now13:17
kenvandineand will add a comment about the version required13:18
kenvandineanything else you see that it needs?13:18
mlankhorstmpt: not 100% sure, I think the install was choking on something which caused me to have to do some custom install, but can't remember exactly. Might also have been due to debootstrap not enabling anything but main :s13:20
dpmkenvandine, yes, the exact list of packages that need to be installed. Also something else, but rather a topic for discussion. Right now the advanced example is about modifying a gedit plugin, which will require people to install it, modify it, etc. This is not something every new developer can do. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier find an easier step-by-step example. Or at least put all the detailed steps on how to download, install and modify t13:24
dpmhe gedit plugin13:24
kenvandinedpm, yeah... well i tried to find an app that people likely already have13:25
kenvandinebut could find one that was python already that made sense to add sharing13:25
kenvandinealthough the gedit plugin is really simple to install and edit13:25
kenvandinei guess i should mention where to put the file13:26
dpmyes, the idea of those tutorials is that developers don't need to figure out stuff for themselves. I'm wondering if it would make sense to create a small quickly app and embed the gwibber widget to it13:28
kenvandinedpm,  the simple example might serve that purpose13:32
kenvandinethe gedit example was to add the functionality to something that already exists13:33
kenvandinedpm, however... after the app challenge we could probably take one of the apps from the challenge and put it into the tutorial :)13:33
dpmkenvandine, sure, it's a good idea :), but let's concentrate on finishing what we've got now. Let's go for the Gedit plugin for now. If you could add the note about -proposed, the list of packages required to install and add the detailed steps to edit and install the plugin, I think we should be good to go and publish the tutorial tomorrow13:45
kenvandinecan we publish it today?13:46
kenvandinei've been getting people asking for it over twitter :)13:46
kenvandinedpm, ^^13:47
dpmkenvandine, absolutely! I've been editing so that it's ready and only the final content needs to be added, so once you've added that content, we're good to go13:48
kenvandinealmost done :)13:48
dpmexcellent :)13:49

tremoluxdidrocks: do you think this can be reviewed and merged for the next Unity SRU?15:10
didrockshey tremolux :)15:10
didrockstremolux: does it have tests?15:10
tremoluxheyo didrocks!15:11
didrockstremolux: last time I checked, it didn't15:11
didrocksand I asked by email and on the MR to have some :)15:11
didrocksespeciallly as this thing seems fragile and breaking a lot15:11
didrocksI think I talked to mvo about it15:11
tremoluxdidrocks: oh, there's no mention in this MP about needing tests, I think there is a branch targeted for Q where it's mentioned maybe?15:12
didrockstremolux: right, the rule for Q and P are the same :)15:12
cyphermoxseb128: so for vino; seems like the actual text stuff has not shown up in a long while AFAICT, but the url test is still being done...15:13
seb128cyphermox, can we drop that?15:13
cyphermoxyeah15:13
seb128cyphermox, thanks15:13
tremoluxdidrocks: ok, this one needs a comment about what is still required, do you mind adding that?15:13
cyphermoxI'll figure out how to get rid of it for good15:13
tremoluxdidrocks: just so we define exactly what is expected15:13
didrockstremolux: ok15:14
tremoluxdidrocks: the crucial point is that I have a corresponding branch on the software-center side that fixes 5 high-target bugs with this feature15:14
tremoluxdidrocks: thanks!! I appreciate your help, as always15:15
tremoluxdidrocks: including purchased items not being added to the launcher, uninstalled items not being removed from the launcher as the two biggest ones15:15
* didrocks commented :)15:15
didrockstremolux: you're really welcomed ;)15:15
tremoluxdidrocks: :)15:15
didrockstremolux: nice!15:16
didrockscan't wait to get it15:16
tremoluxhaha, me too!!15:16
didrocksbut I really mandate tests for it as the test coverage it had seemed to be quite poor :)15:16
didrockssil2100: btw, you probably want to track this ^15:17
tremoluxdidrocks: right, the regressions of the basic operation of the feature came right at the end of the cycle, ideally tests would have caught that15:17
didrocksyep15:17
didrocksthere are some tests, I was thinking they were stronger15:18
tremoluxdidrocks: my fix removes a great deal of the responsibility on the launcher side of things by adding the item at the very end of the install of the package, but the spec (and good usability) really want the dbus event to the launcher (and so the animation and adding) to happen right at the very start15:19
tremoluxdidrocks: this will require that bug #1011681 be fixed15:20
ubot2Launchpad bug 1011681 in unity "Have Unity monitor and react to all installation events" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101168115:20
didrockswaow15:20
didrockslet's see how it goes15:20
didrocksbut I still find this feature dangerous15:20
didrocksit created a lot of bugs15:21
tremoluxdidrocks: will, we've had the feature for many releases already actually15:21
tremoluxdidrocks: without bugs15:21
didrocksone of them being that it screwed the display on some card :/15:21
didrocksyeah, without the flying icon15:21
tremoluxdidrocks: this cycle is where all the problems happened15:21
didrocksI remember, I did the unity side before this cycle :)15:21
tremoluxdidrocks: yes, indeed, I remember15:21
tremoluxdidrocks: I think bilal did a lot of it before too, no?15:23
didrockstremolux: hum, I don't remember, maybe the progress icon (I was thinking it was this cycle)15:23
tremoluxdidrocks: it was the adding of the animation and the showing of progress this cycle, but both of those worked quite nicely earlier in the cycle and then broke at the end15:23
tremoluxdidrocks: with the exception of the display issue, of course!  :)15:24
didrocksindeed :)15:24
didrocksbut it showed by then that the tests were not enough though :/15:24
tremoluxdidrocks: yes15:24
tremoluxdidrocks: but to be fair, tests can always be improved/iterated, it's ongoing, but for this specific feature we now know better what we need them to check for sure15:26
didrockstremolux: indeed, hence the fact it's time to fix it and add the new tests before getting anything landing :)15:27
cyphermoxseb128: popey: so the intent is that the message was disabled upstream because it wasn't checking ipv6, thus misleading people into thinking that their machine is not reachable from outside when it could be reachable using IPv6; it's just that it's been disabled "wrong", only updating the message was disabled, not doing the check altogether15:27

tremoluxseb128: ok, thanks! But it's good, it's on our radar now, I'll track this issue for Software Center16:38
seb128tremolux, having a testcase would be useful ... is the toolbar stock gtk or do you hack it in some way?16:39
tremoluxseb128: it's a custom widget  :/16:39
seb128tremolux, that might explain why it's happening only there16:39
seb128tremolux, if you could get that down to a testcase or have one of the s-c tests showing the issue it would be good16:40
tremoluxseb128: indeed, yes, I can't repro on my machine which is why I wonder if it's a hardware-specific sort of issue16:40
tremoluxseb128: drivers, etc.16:40
tremoluxseb128: I'll try to collect more info16:41
popeytremolux, cant reproduce here on ATI or intel16:41
tremoluxpopey: thanks! ok, good to know16:41
tremoluxseb128: the dupe bug 1015986 mentions some interaction with other apps16:43

tremoluxseb128: thanks again, I'll try to get more info and meanwhile you know about it too in case it pops up in other places :)16:44
LaneyI got something like that the other day on a terminal16:44
tremoluxLaney: do you see it in Software Center? just mouse over one of the toolbar icons16:45
Laneytremolux: can't tell you now, not on a Quantal machine16:46
tremoluxLaney: ah, ok! :)16:46
Laneybut it was intermittent when I saw it, ie it came and went16:46
LaneyI'll have a look in a bit16:46
tremoluxLaney: thanks!16:46
Laneysomeone else posted a screenshot in here of something similar too16:46
Laneyah, it was hrw in #ubuntu-devel16:53

Laneythat looks like what I get when it happens16:54
Laneytremolux: seb128:16:54
tremoluxLaney: woahh16:54
Laneynot sure if that could be part of the same problem16:55
tremoluxLaney: I see him over there, I'll ask if he might check Software Center for me..thanks!!16:56
Laneygroovy16:57
tremolux:)16:57
Laneybut like I said it's intermittent so maybe you won't see it this time16:57

mlankhorstnot sure if they've been updated yet, you could try the debian sid ones which are almost identical. :)17:02
Sarvattoh ati hasnt been updated in quantal to work with cairo 1.12 yet17:03
mlankhorstwould probably need to rebuild them since they use x1.1217:03
mlankhorstSarvatt: yeah thought so17:03
Laneyhttp://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati.html ?17:03
mlankhorstLaney: should work17:03
Laneybut it has a lower version than ours?17:04
Sarvattyeah we're going to have to do a git checkout, they version it weird17:04
Sarvattmaster is 6.14.99, they lower the version, release, raise it back to .99 every time17:04
mlankhorstoh that explain :)17:04
Laneysounds totally logical and sane17:04

mlankhorstI just knew it wasn't lower due to having worked with the x git tree directly17:05

seb128jdstrand, mdeslaur: hey, is apparmor known to be an issue for nfs users? do they need to weak config? e.g bug #101610318:56
ubot2Launchpad bug 1016103 in evince "evince unable to save changes to toolbar" [Low,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101610318:56
jdstrandseb128: nfs should not be a problem. this seems like the user just needs to update /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu19:07
jdstrandseb128: eg '@{HOMEDIRS}+=/homes/'19:07
seb128jdstrand, is that a faq, or described somewhere? I didn't see nfs mentioned on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor19:07
jdstrandseb128: it isn't in a faq cause nfs isn't a problem like with selinux ;)19:08
jdstrandthere is something on the tunable though19:08
* jdstrand fetches19:08
seb128jdstrand, well if users need to edit their etc config that seems like a faq topic? ;-)19:08
seb128jdstrand, I don't know enough about apparmor, but is there any way we could print on stdout some warning when apparmor block something for the running app?19:10
jdstrandseb128: awell, postinst has logic to detect nonstandard homes19:10
jdstrandseb128: re reporting> not really, the kernel is just giving back EACCESS or similar. the application will usually complain about that, but doesn't know why it was denied access. we do have apparmor-notify which uses notify-osd to display errors19:11
jdstrandthe problem with that is the usability issues-- we don't want to be fedora with a dialog always asking to allow or deny something19:12
seb128right19:12
jdstrandwe try to make the profiles work out of the box19:12
seb128yeah, and they usually do19:12
seb128so is this user having a non usual setup? or do nfs users need to do some config tweaks?19:12
jdstrandI know there is something on the tunables somewhere...19:12
jdstrandseb128: this user's HOME is /homes/dhe (as opposed to /home/dhe)19:13
seb128oh19:13
jdstrandit isn't nfs, it is an unusual location for HOME19:13
jdstrandhomes vs home19:13
seb128I don't know enough about nfs to know the naming convention for home dirs on NFS ;-)19:14
jdstrandwell, there is none :)19:14
jdstrandso we can't be too smart19:14
jdstrandwe try to detect it, but it doesn't always work depending on when the user was added19:14
seb128I wonder if we could be a bit naggy about "your userdir doesn't follow the convention, it might create issues"19:15
jdstrand(the tunable is preseedable though)19:15
seb128like display a notification once on first login for such users19:15
seb128if we know it's a setup that will confuse apparmor19:15
jdstrandmaybe. it is an unusual setup though- we rarely see these bugs any more after implemeting the debconf option and tunables/home.d19:16
jdstrandI think I saw this... 3 times in the last year?19:17
jdstrandI'm not opposed to be smarter about it-- I'm just not sure the best way19:17
jdstrandseb128: aha, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor#Adjusting_Tunables19:18
jdstrandseb128: not exactly the most discoverable location19:18
seb128jdstrand, I've little visiblity on how frequent it is but if that's a rare corner case I'm fine just replying to the bug with a link to the wiki you pointed, thanks19:19
jdstrandseb128: it was a big concern of mine for a while, then I implemented that and just haven't seen it often enough where it bothered me. people seem to recognize they if they are doing something non-standard, then they might have to tweak things here and there19:21
jdstrandbetween preseeding and the postinst detection on install, it mostly covered things19:21
seb128jdstrand, that makes sense, I guess the issue there is to find the way to the documentation19:22
jdstrandseb128: yes-- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor is linked off https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor, but at the bottom19:22
jdstrandI'm open to suggestions on where to put it...19:23
seb128jdstrand, I was not looking for "debugging", but for "faq" ;-)19:23
jdstrandideally it would be wherever the documentation is for chaning ones HOME19:23
seb128jdstrand, like users look for common,known issues, not for how to debug19:23
jdstrandheh19:23
jdstrandseb128: I'll add something to the FAQ section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor19:24
seb128jdstrand, thanks19:24
