jimkHi, I am making a app for showdown and this issue is stopping me --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/159413/gtkfilechooserbutton-select-folder-mode-returns-no-path     Can someone help me here?07:23
jimkIs there a widget in in Gtk3 that asks user for a custom hotkey, captures it and then displays it?08:10
dholbachmvo, what do you think about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-distutils-extra/+bug/1021207 :)10:07
ubot2Ubuntu bug 1021207 in python-distutils-extra "Decide what to do with .rtupdate files" [Undecided,New]10:07
mvodholbach: not sure, worth checking with doko, he may have more insight in this particular file10:09
dholbachboth doko and barry seem to be elsewhere, but not on IRC :)10:10
dpmdholbach, when you come back, would you mind commenting on this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1021255 - I've confirmed that installing the -common package does not install the individual templates, which then need to be installed one by one12:16
ubot2Ubuntu bug 1021255 in quickly-community-templates "Can install, but can't use?" [Undecided,New]12:16
dholbachdpm, ok, will take a look in a bit12:17
dpmcool, thanks!12:19
dholbachdpm, hum12:25
dholbachdpm, did the reporter install quickly-ubuntu-application-qt-template as well?12:25
dpmdholbach, no, I assume he installed the -common package and thought that'd take care of it12:25
dholbachyeah, bad luck then :)12:26
dpmwould it be possible to have the -common package install all the templates?12:26
dholbachright now it's the other way around12:27
dholbachall the templates install the -common data package12:27
dholbachand having circular depends brings problems with it12:27
dholbachyou could easily introduce a all-quickly-templates package12:28
dpmdholbach, I think that might be the best option. Is there any naming convention for such metapackages? Could I name it just quickly-community-templates to be more inline with the name of 'quickly-community-templates-common'?12:33
dholbachsure12:33
dholbachjust add it to debian/control with all the relevant depends12:33
dpmcool, thanks, I'll see if I can have a go at it12:34
dholbachif somebody could verify all the test-cases from the bugs in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-distutils-extra/+bug/1020017 and leave a comment on the individual bugs, that'd be nice12:37
ubot2Ubuntu bug 1020017 in python-distutils-extra "[SRU] Backport 2.33-1 to precise" [Undecided,Fix committed]12:37
dpmdholbach, hm, we might need to comment on https://plus.google.com/105258101046165462263/posts/KDkJ4w7WNgC - I think that guy misinterpreted your e-mail on the mailing list12:40
* dpm has a go at replying12:40
dholbachbahhhhh12:42
mhall119:(13:25
dholbachmhall119, "you didn't"?13:27
mhall119didn't waste 3 weeks of his life13:28
dholbachah ok :)13:29
* dholbach goes back to having fun with PPAs13:30
cedeonhmm that google plus post is relevant to me also.  For my comp entry i am making a cooking app that uses creative commons licensed recipes from opensourcefood.com. Will I  have to change the default quickly license also?13:40
HBHi!14:40
HBI have a question about develop apps for ubuntu, about libraries and games. Is posible develop python games with pygame and submit to the software center?14:41
HBHi! again xD14:56
dpmhi HB, the answer is yes, but if you are more specific with your question, we'll then be able to be more specific with the answer :)14:58
HBThanks!15:00
HBdpm: I was thinking in a game with pygame developed with eclipse.15:00
HBBut what happens with the user and the library? Does the user to install when you download the game? Or is it necessary?15:02
commandolinethe package manager will install pygame automatically15:02
commandoline(== the software center)15:02
HBcommandoline: thanks! I am really noob in this topic xD Ubuntu develop :)15:04
commandolinenp15:05
HBIn developer.ubuntu.com I only found info about program with "Quickly"... DO you know something about work with others ide and publish?15:08
=== HB_ is now known as HB
commandolineWell, you can write you script yourself, but the problem then is that you also need to package it yourself as far as I know15:13
commandoline(packaging = making it into a ubuntu package)15:13
HBAaaa but Quickly do that for me if I use it?15:17
commandolineyes, it automatically packages your app.15:17
HBMmmm. Thats the advantage for use it…15:18
commandolineYou might be able to strip the 'starting app' of quickly down retaining the automatic packaging, but I'm not sure if that's possible.15:19
HBOk, I will be reading about that. Thanks for your time. Maybe I write soon in this channel15:20
HBI will ask in #ubuntu15:23
wolteris there a package that provides python gegl as to be imported with the line "from gi.repository import Gegl" ?15:26

gau1991Hello can any one tell me hoe add build-dependencies with quickly?16:20
george_eI'm stuck making a tough decision about my application:17:47
george_ehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/160070/to-make-or-not-to-make-python-nautilus-a-dependency17:47
george_eDoes anyone have any advice?17:48
hyperairgeorge_e: put the nautilus extension into a separate package.17:49
hyperairhave the main package recommend the extension package.17:49
hyperairand have the extension package depend upon python-nautilus17:49
george_eThat isn't an option because then it can't be submitted to MyApps.17:50
george_e(At least, that's the impression I got.)17:50
george_eIt also won't qualify for the contest.17:50
hyperairoh if you're submitting it to myapps, then please don't package it into a deb. :-)17:50
hyperairleave the packaging to us, because we'll have to repackage it anyway17:50
george_eOkay... I guess I don't quite understand how MyApps works then.17:51
hyperairin fact, throwing a deb at myapps makes things harder, because then we need to dismantle the deb17:51
george_eI didn't submit a DEB.17:51
george_eI'm referring to the DEB in my PPA which is built by a recipe.17:51
hyperairah17:51
george_eThe Debian packaging is actually in a separate branch.17:51
hyperairi see17:51
george_eIt gets nested when the recipe builds.17:51
hyperairwell if you have a sane build system in place you're welcome to submit the source tarball17:53
george_eWell, I had done that originally, but then I read the contest rules a little more closely and discovered that I was supposed to submit a text file.17:53
george_eSo I replaced the .tar.gz archive with that.17:53
george_e(The text file contains a link to the PPA.)17:54
hyperair..a text file?17:54
* hyperair isn't actually familiar with this contest.17:54
george_eAt the bottom of step #4 here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/showdown/17:54
george_e"IMPORTANT! While submitting your app, fill in the App Showdown Participation Details and upload it in the ‘Your application‘ field in MyApps"17:55
hyperaireh17:56
hyperairhmm maybe i should shut up and let someone more informed about this to tell you more17:56
george_eI hadn't noticed that at first either.17:56
george_eI'll be right back, I need to switch to KDE for a second.17:57
* george_e is back now.17:58
korylprinceHello all.. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to disable a gtk3 event. When I double-click on a toolbar, it attempts to resize the window. I'd like that not to happen...18:32
korylprinceThe root of this question is that I am having problems with an app crashing under other window managers like openbox. When I try to resize the window it crashes with create_moveresize_window: assertion failed: (mv_resize->moveresize_emulation_window == NULL)18:34
misterHello, I am using Gdk.keyval_name to capture user specified hotkey for my app for showdown. This setup works fine but it captures all keys include ctrl,alt,delete,backspace etc. Is there a way to capture alphabet, number and function keys only and ignore everything else?19:07
hakermaniamister, why is this a problem? Why don't you check what kind of key is being captured and ignore the ones that doesn't matter to you?19:08
misterYeah but then there will be so many keys to ignore. Is there a Gdk built in function to do it?19:10
hakermaniamister, I don't really know, but I guess it will be something like this: captured_keys(char *key)19:11
hakermaniaWhy don't you do an if(key=="Alt") then etc.... Why don't you watch only the keys you'd like to (If I don't understand correctly because I don't know python, please show example code)19:12
misterif statements will work but then I will have to write one each for esc,tab,capslock,shift,ctrl,super,space,delete,enter,backspace,insert, print screen, pgup,pgdn, home, end, numlock,alt19:15
korylprinceYou could use the in keyword to simplify, i.e.19:21
korylprinceif <key> in [esc,tab,capslock,etc....]: do stuff19:22
misterright thanks forgot about in19:32
agmenorHello ! Can anyone here please help me on development for the Showdown contest ?19:39
agmenorIt will be about keyboard shortcuts (http://askubuntu.com/questions/153501/how-do-i-create-and-use-keyboard-shortcuts-in-a-gtk-app-that-i-am-developing/153502#153502)19:40

george_eUhm... I stumbled across this: https://trello.com/board/ubuntu-arb-submissions/4fee2215cee295013c0862ba22:50
george_eMy application was submitted for review but it's missing the "appshowdown" tag.22:51
george_eI'm not 100% sure if there is anyone here who is a member of that board...22:52
george_e...but if there is, would it be possible to have that tag added (since the app is indeed a part of the contest)?22:52
