psidrumis there a RSS Lens for Unity?00:12
popeypsidrum, there's a news one, I've not seen an rss one00:19
bobweaverpsidrum,  you could write one is there a site that you are looking to get rss or like a lens that is all you bookmarked rss ?00:24
bobweaverI have a question and need help01:22
bobweaverNow that everything is getting ported to NUX how is the phone and or the tv going to work01:23
DaekdroomWhat do you mean by getting ported to Nux?01:23
bobweaveryou know one phone = one ubuntu = desktop = tv = UbuntuOne ?01:23
bobweaverLike  I hear that all QT is beeing droped01:24
bobweaversorry about my spelling01:24
DaekdroomYou mean unity-2d being dropped and there only being Unity (which uses Nux)01:24
DaekdroomWell, Unity (and Nux and Compiz) are being ported to Open GL ES, which is more common in TVs and phones than Open GL01:25
bobweaverYes but there are so many things that are offered for QT and other things that are offered with NUX as NUX is just a lib it can have a declaritive view correct ?01:25
Daekdroom(as a matter of fact, Open GL ES was created having embedded systems.01:25
DaekdroomIt's not that everything is getting ported to Nux.01:26
DaekdroomIt's only Unity.01:26
bobweaverThat is awesome but how to make QTmoblity and other declaritive views happen ?01:26
bobweaveras nux is c++ it can be exported01:26
DaekdroomI think I've misunderstood your question :/01:27
bobweaversorry about my spelling 75 % of inter-action is body lang01:27
bobweaverthis is what I mean IF Ubuntu tv and Ubutnu Phone use which they do 2d01:28
bobweaverwhich is qml01:28
bobweaverwhich calls declaritive views for c++ why not keep that on the burner so to say01:28
DaekdroomThat's for the Unity interface.01:28
DaekdroomThat does not mean developers won't be able to use QML for apps.01:29
bobweaverbut say I can make massive things happen01:29
bobweaverlike this01:29
bobweaverhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMgQpS8F6_o&feature=g-upl01:30
bobweaverHow can I plug that into Unity with no 2d ?01:30
DaekdroomI'm sure that if they want developers to be able to do that, they'll provide an API or something.01:32
DaekdroomSo far Ubuntu TV is a prototype.01:32
bobweaveryou see what I am saying about the phone and the tv and the desktop thou01:32
bobweaveras symbian is well symbian will Nux run on symbian01:33
bobweaversorry it took me a week to get hello world app01:34
bobweaverkinda new to NUX lib seems like gamers lib cool stuff01:34
bobweaverDaekdroom,  if the phone code was there for me to see I would be doing the same thing. err . how to explain . Like if I had the code I woud plug everything in real real fast to be like I talked about abov01:36
bobweaverbecause it is qt01:37
DaekdroomSo you concern is about not being able to do those things when there's no QT?01:37
bobweaverbecause it is simple there are many advantages to qt as I am sure that there are for NUX also . but what I dont get is that the Ubutnu 2d uses NUX and that is just a c++ lib that is called in build01:38
bobweavercorrect aboout the QT part01:38
bobweaveris there something going on that I do not know about01:38
bobweaverwith money or something and nokia ?01:38
bobweaverjust a guess plz take it that way no harm01:39
DaekdroomAs far as I know, they decided to drop Unity-2D because it was taking too much effort to develop Unity, which uses Nux, and Unity2D, which uses QT, while they shared little code.01:39
bobweaverLike ever sense the Whole building thing things have been alot different01:39
bobweaverwhat If I could take up slax ?01:40
bobweaverwho to talk to ?01:40
DaekdroomI have no idea, honestly.01:40
bobweaverI would love LOVE LOVE to port Unity 6.0 Nux3.0 QT5.001:40
bobweaveras I think that compiz is being under utilzed01:41
bobweaverlike if there was a #import Compiz 1.0   Somethis{}add states and transtions and call compiz in the states and transtions01:42
bobweaveronclicked: if this and that01:42
bobweaverIt Just seems foolish to drop such a great lib unless... there is a excusse me here a "pissing contest " going on one again 70 some % of communication is body lang01:44
bobweaverplz dont take this the wrong way just questions01:44
DaekdroomWell, Unity-2D seemed to me like something that was always attempting to catch up to Unity(3D), so I wasn't surprised by seeing 2D getting drooped.01:46
DaekdroomIt was a fallback version for those who did not have video acceleration to use Unity.01:46
DaekdroomOtherwise, using QT to make Unity wouldn't have been the choice, in my opinion.01:47
DaekdroomIf they created Nux so they could develop Unity, I think there must have been something the libs that already existed did not offer.01:49
bobweaverIMHO it is the other way around that makes a great circle there are many things taht you can do in QT that you can not do in NUX one of them being declaritive views and the other formfactors03:04
bobweaverand also rendering might have been behind but it is kinda loopy in a way03:04
bobweaverLooks like clues lead to ........03:05

MCR1Is jenkins unity building somehow broken ?07:33
MCR1cd /home/ubuntu/jenkins/workspace/unity-ci/distribution/quantal/flavor/amd64/pbuilder_setup/work/trunk/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/unityshell && cat /home/ubuntu/jenkins/workspace/unity-ci/distribution/quantal/flavor/amd64/pbuilder_setup/work/trunk/plugins/unityshell/unityshell.xml.in | sed -e "'s" "<_" < "g'" -e "'s" "</_" "</" "g'" > /home/ubuntu/jenkins/workspace/unity-ci/distribution/quantal/flavor/amd64/pbuilder_setup/work/trunk/obj-x07:33
MCR1/bin/sh: 1: cannot open g': No such file07:33
mmrazikMCR1: yes, it is. I'm looking into it07:36
MCR1mmrazik: I just tried to build Unity/nux with a script that usually worked, but now it failed with this error, maybe it is related:07:41
MCR1-- checking for module 'unity-protocol-private'07:41
MCR1--   package 'unity-protocol-private' not found07:41
mmrazikMCR1: that is something else. You need an up-to-date version of libunity07:41
mmrazikshould be available in the staging ppa07:42
MCR1mmrazik: oh, ok - thx.07:42
mmrazik(but right now when you do dist-upgrade with staging PPA it will remove unity so be aware)07:42
MCR1mmrazik: I am currently logging into a custom Compiz-Standalone session, combined with Unity-2d - but thanks for the warning :)07:44
MCR1duflu: Hi! GREAT work on Compiz :) - it is getting smoother every day. I know you are working hard on the GLES branch, but it would be nice if you could take a short look at: https://code.launchpad.net/~mc-return/compiz/compiz.merge-plugin-simple-animations/+merge/115048 and https://code.launchpad.net/~mc-return/compiz/compiz.merge-plugin-wizard/+merge/11156508:27
dufluMCR1: Thanks. Though if you build the gles2 branch you might notice a few plugins and animations don't build or work in there. I want to get gles2 finished and merged to lp:compiz before considering any more of your plugin proposals. AFAIK, the most recent ones that were accepted don't work with gles2 :(08:29
dufluMaking just the plugins used by Unity default profile work is the first priority.08:29
MCR1duflu: My fear is that I came one year to late with my merge proposals, because I did not check the Compiz move to launchpad :( - I understand that my timing is not the best :(08:31
dufluMCR1: That's not your fault. Both repos were being actively used simultaneously for a while. It was very confusing.08:32
MCR1duflu: Yes, I was still subscribed to the RSS git feed and was quite worried, because the rate of commits there was so low - and no action at all @ compiz-dev.08:34
MCR1duflu: But I am happy that Compiz is alive - more than in the last years :)08:34
MCR1*@ #compiz-dev08:35
MCR1duflu: So your work and engagement is highly appreciated (by me at least) - thanks for making Compiz what it should be :)08:36
dufluMCR1: No problem. Have you tried the gles2 branch?08:37
brendandi'm all of a sudden unable to run 3d: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1111556/08:39
brendandthink it's related to a failed installation of fglrx08:39
brendandeither that or a kernel upgrade08:39
brendandmost likely the former08:39
MCR1duflu: Although when I see the bug reports of the GLES branch I can smell a lot of new troubles... No, I have not tried it yet, although I promised smspillaz to test it, but I am quite happy my special config (which is complicated enough as you know) works now... and I fear to touch a running system ;)08:40
duflubrendand: I think that can happen when the fglrx installer/uninstaller gets different libGL's mixed up. Try uninstalling fglrx and forcefully reinstalling it.08:41
brendandduflu, that's the thing. it's not installed. it failed08:41
dufluAh OK. Simple then08:41
brendandalthough the package is08:41
brendandbut jockey says the driver is not08:42
MCR1duflu: But if there is an easy way of switching between those branches (without f*cking up what I have installed) - I would like to help you with testing and minor fixes ofc.08:42
duflubrandand: Older versions of fglrx had broken uninstallation leaving the wrong libGL installed. You need to force reinstall of the mesa packages to get the right one back08:42
dufluMCR1: Fast and safe switching between branches only works if you can easily compile from source. And even then, it's only simple if you're also willing to recompile unity, or live without unity while testing :(08:43
MCR1duflu: But currently I am building lp:compiz and then copying the built stuff per hand, because I have not checked that (yet): https://answers.launchpad.net/compiz/+question/20349008:43
dufluMCR1: Answer added08:48
duflubrendand: Older versions of fglrx had broken uninstallation leaving the wrong libGL installed. You need to force reinstall of the mesa packages to get the right one back08:50
MCR1duflu: The problem here is that Compiz behaves completely different without Unity-3d (I am currently running Unity-2d with Compiz), but I just fixed my script to automatically update and compile and install Unity-3d (in my home dir) again, so if I gain the knowledge how to run a parallel installation of a compiled lp:compiz - Oh thanks - exactly what I needed :)08:50
dufluMCR1: When building a new unity for your custom compiz you need:   env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=~/staging/lib/pkgconfig cmake ........08:51
MCR1duflu: This is the script I am currently using to build Unity - I will try to extend that to also build lp:compiz...08:55
MCR1duflu: http://pastebin.com/d4DnWM1Z08:56
MCR1duflu: Now I'll stop stealing your time ;) Thanks again.08:56
MCR1duflu: I should have all the info I need now :)08:57

sil2100jaytaoko: ping14:28
jaytaokosil2100: hello, in a meeting, will ping you after14:30
sil2100jaytaoko: ok, thanks!14:32
jaytaokosil2100: hello14:54
sil2100jaytaoko: hi! :)14:56
sil2100jaytaoko: I would like to release the nux SRU right now, it's something that is a requirement for the regionalDamage changes to be ported to precise for unity14:57
jaytaokosil2100: I have tested it and approved it14:57
sil2100jaytaoko: we already tested the changes and it's all green, but I would actually like to know your opinion whether you think we should release it as patches, or release a new tarball (and bump the nux version)14:58
sil2100Since right now I did it as a distro release14:58
sil2100(no new tarball)14:58
jaytaokosil2100: let me ask didrocks or seb12814:59
sil2100jaytaoko: ok ;)15:00
jaytaokosil2100: but tell me, what is your opinion on this?15:00
sil2100jaytaoko: they're on some conference now from what I know, but just give me a sign15:00
gordGUADEC right? won't see them till next week i think15:01
jaytaokosil2100: is this an emergency? or can we wait for their feedbacks?15:01
mhr3sil2100, sooo... i'm not sure if you were actually asking something... were you? :)15:01
sil2100jaytaoko: personally, well, we _could_ do a new tarball, but the diff is not that big15:01
jaytaokogord: thanks for the info15:02
sil2100mhr3: I wanted, but then I understood that my question was stupid, so I didn't ;p15:02
mhr3lol, ok15:02
sil2100jaytaoko: I would like to release it this week, since next week we need to land the unity regionalDamage changes and SRU it15:02
jaytaokosil2100: so if you do a patch you won't be upgrading the release number, is that correct?15:03
sil2100jaytaoko: I was asking you, since I just wanted to know if you had any particular plans for what needs to land for nux 2.1415:03
sil2100jaytaoko: correct - just the ubuntu number15:03
sil2100So it will be nux 2.12.0-0ubuntu215:04
jaytaokosil2100: let me have a look at what went into the SRU again...15:05
sil2100jaytaoko: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/nux/2.0/revision/616 <- here is the revision15:05
sil2100It seems 618, 619, 621, 622, 623, 624, 631 commits were imported, which is quite big - but the overall diff is not super big15:06
jaytaokosil2100: ok, I think a patch should do. What about unity? are you changing the version for it?15:08
mhr3sil2100, was the packaging updated yet to use 0.16?15:09
mhr3it's taking a while considering it's a oneliner ;)15:09
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
mhr3but maybe it's not, what do i know15:10
sil2100mhr3: its taking a while since didrocks is not around - and I had this power shortage15:10
sil2100mhr3: Didier wanted me to change something, so I did - I just need to send him an e-mail15:11
=== salem_ is now known as _salem
sil2100mhr3: so you'll have it by tomorrow morning, I promise! ;)15:12
sil2100jaytaoko: hm, we're not sure yet - I think we'll only be distro-patching for unity15:12
sil2100jaytaoko: since we'll probably be only releasing an SRU that includes the regionalDamage fixes15:12
sil2100jaytaoko: so the rest that is supposed to land will land later, with a new tarball15:13
jaytaokosil2100: ok. So fine then for a patch for the nux SRU15:13
mhr3sil2100, cool, i once took a month to investigate a bug that was in end fixed by changing a ">" to ">=", so it's not that bad yet i guess :D15:14
sil2100jaytaoko: ACK! Thanks - I'll try contacting Didier later as well15:14
sil2100mhr3: hehe ;)15:14
mhr3and when i did they told me the license for what it was using expired a month ago :P15:15

seb128sil2100, jaytaoko: hey15:36
seb128sil2100, jaytaoko: I read the backlog, Didier says a tarball would be better15:37
seb128sil2100, jaytaoko: if you need to reach us use email rather this week since we are not a lot online during GUADEC15:37
jaytaokoseb128: ok15:39
jaytaokosil2100: so, tarball it is!15:40
jaytaokoseb128: enjoy Guadec!15:40
sil2100jaytaoko, seb128: ACK! :)15:40
seb128jaytaoko, thanks15:40
sil2100mhr3: valac distro changes pushed - I approved the merge requests ;)16:18
