desrtjhansonxi: it's not possible to do keyfile-based settings per-user00:45
jhansonxidesrt: Annoying.  It was possible with gconf and gconf-tool.01:15
smspillazdesrt: of course :)01:21
smspillazdesrt: I guess the larger issue here is that gobject is an API that favors stealing :)01:22
desrtjhansonxi: if you want to talk about gconf-tool and keyfiles, the dconf commandline tool also supports loading from keyfiles02:28
desrtjhansonxi: i was under the impression that you were looking for a just-drop-a-file solution (where the file in question is not a shellscript named ".profile")02:28
jhansonxidesrt: I was just looking for an existing implementation.  I'll examine dconf.  Would be helpful if dconf had a man page (bug #950154).02:35

desrtubot2: matthias clasen wrote a manpage recently and i plan on merging it this evening02:35
ubot2desrt: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)02:35

mlankhorstIf you are reading this book and flipping out at every third sentence because you feel I'm insulting your intelligence, then I have three points of advice for you:08:53
mlankhorst    Stop reading my book. I didn't write it for you. I wrote it for people who don't already know everything.08:53
mlankhorst    Empty before you fill. You will have a hard time learning from someone with more knowledge if you already know everything.08:53
mlankhorst    Go learn Lisp. I hear people who know everything really like Lisp.08:53

seb128mterry, hey15:23
mterryseb128, hi15:23
seb128didrocks, mterry, cyphermox: do you have experience making "make check" run under xfvb,dbus-launch?15:24
seb128do you have anything better than "making a wrapper script and calling that"?15:24
cyphermoxseb128: in NM I run it in dbus-test-runner IIRC15:24
seb128not sure why "xvfb-run make check" doesn't work15:24
mterryseb128, yeah that usually works fine for me15:25
mterryseb128, what kind of errors?15:25
cyphermoxseb128: in NM; I use override_dh_auto_test:\n\tdbus-test-runner -t dh_auto_test15:25
didrocksseb128: dbus-test-runner is wrapping this up for you normally15:26
seb128mterry, cyphermox: it still complains it can't find X11, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1132510/15:26
cyphermoxah yes15:26
mterryseb128, with xvfb-run?  Something must be stripping the env15:27
seb128mterry, I did15:27
seb128override_dh_auto_test:15:27
seb128    xfvb-run make test15:28
=== fredp` is now known as fredp
seb128 15:28
seb128but maybe that's not a good way to do it15:28
cyphermoxthat should be working fine though15:28
didrocksindeed, this should work15:28
seb128that's libsecret from quantal15:28
cyphermoxseb128: try dbus-test-runner -t make -p check in override_dh_auto_test :) sorry for being so insistent, but I know this works; though it adds a build-dep.15:29
kenvandinethat's handy15:32
seb128cyphermox, hum, test fails and no useful output15:34
cyphermoxwow15:35
cyphermoxseb128: you mean the test or running the test?15:35
seb128task-0:   /value/to-password:                                                  FAIL15:36
seb128task-0: GTester: last random seed: R02S322e69ce258b9d35eb7bd3fb9aa01bd215:36
seb128but it seems to eat stdout or stderr15:36
seb128so I don't know what the issue15:36
seb128oh, that was a real bug, with that one fixed I get15:37
seb128dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.15:37
seb128ERROR:test-prompt.c:47:setup: assertion failed (error == NULL): Error sending credentials: Error sending message: Operation not permitted (g-io-error-quark, 14)15:37
seb128task-0:   /prompt/run:                                                         FAIL15:37
cyphermoxweird. i didn't expect there would be any kind of security policy there, unless it's set after by make check somehow15:42
seb128dunno, running it manually works15:50
cyphermoxseb128: does it use the system or session bus?15:54
seb128cyphermox, session15:54
seb128libsecret/tests/mock/service.py", line 480, in __init__15:55
seb128    bus = dbus.SessionBus()15:55
cyphermoxno idea.. so far that has been a great way to test things that required dbus15:55
cyphermoxI'm using it in the eds autopkgtest as well15:55
cyphermoxspeaking of EDS... another soname change :)15:55
cyphermoxI'm updating eds to 3.5.5 so that evolution-ews can be taken off the nbs list as well15:56

kenvandinenow i need to go back and fix more of the online-accounts ones :)19:53
seb128ok, I give up on running tests during the build19:57
seb128that's harder than it should be19:57
seb128I will wait for pitti to be back from holidays19:57
kenvandineseb128, i know!19:59
kenvandinesignond is going to suck20:00
kenvandinewhich is why i wanted to wait for mardy to get back and rewrite some of the test stuff20:00
kenvandinemterry, libaccounts-qt tests enabled20:29
mterryok20:29
seb128*whining*20:30
seb128why other manage to enable their tests :p20:30
kenvandineseb128, so what is the latest failure you're getting?20:30
seb128kenvandine, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1133193/20:32
seb128dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply20:32
seb128"ERROR:test-prompt.c:47:setup: assertion failed (error == NULL): Error sending credentials: Error sending message: Operation not permitted"20:32
kenvandineseb128, i haven't seen that before20:33
seb128it's weird, the call that fails is "bus = dbus.SessionBus()"20:35
seb128it happens when running make check under fakeroot20:38
