MCR1thumper: Hi :). Followed your suggestions, hope it is okay now: https://code.launchpad.net/~mc-return/unity/unity.merge-more-optimizing/+merge/11826507:02
didrockssil2100: hey, how are you?07:13
sil2100didrocks: hi! Not bad, how about you?07:20
didrockssil2100: I'm good thanks!07:20
didrockssil2100: I wanted to know if you got some clarifications on the branches that were merged without tests07:20
sil2100didrocks: the recent ones?07:21
didrockssil2100: the one I pinged you on Friday about07:21
didrocksthey are listed for 2 weeks on the google doc :)07:21
didrockshttps://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1kiVPg0U7VJpHt21y-Qm9VtnLxsTmKHfBmA2B16yLGzc/edit# (still the same doc)07:21
didrocksand you should have noticed them when merged ;)07:21
didrocksthe good news is that I got some clarification for the first one07:22
didrocksbut there is still the second one which will block the release before having a good answer07:22
didrocks(I just moved the "resolved" one)07:22
sil2100Ok, will ping Jay then07:23
didrocksthanks ;)07:23
didrocksand remember to act on the preemptively next time07:23
didrockssil2100: apart from that, how is the release coming?07:23
didrocksI saw that Nux is now building with the new glew, right?07:23
sil2100Will do, this particular merge was a refactoring one, I could have looked at it closer07:24
didrocksyeah, not sure if it's already covered07:24
didrocksif not, it should to ensure no regression07:24
didrockshence maybe just a clarification is enough07:24
sil2100grrrr07:47
sil2100Why is staging broken again?!07:47
sil2100unityshell segfaults in nux07:47
sil2100jaytaoko: ^07:49
sil2100seb128: hello!07:51
seb128sil2100, hey, got nux fixed ;-)07:52
sil2100seb128: what do you mean ;)?07:52
seb128sil2100, remember the glew issue and the geis merge failing to build and to be merged when you left yesterday?07:58
sil2100seb128: yes, I see it all got in \o/ Thanks07:58
sil2100:)07:58
sil2100But still, it seems that nux is broken right now - maybe because the new glew?07:59
sil2100Since when using staging, my unityshell plugins segfaults in NuxGraphics somewhere07:59
seb128sil2100, well, rebuild it locally with the old glew and see?08:00
didrockssil2100: ensure that you rebuild unity with latest nux, so that they use the same glew08:00
sil2100didrocks: ah, right - that might be even it, since unity wasn't really rebuilt, right?08:00
didrockssil2100: it's my bet, already happened in the past08:01
didrockssil2100: try a local build I would say with latest stack08:01
didrocksensure you have the right glew version locally before building :)08:01
sil2100didrocks: will do ;)08:01
sil2100Thanks for the hint08:01
didrockshope it will be useful :)08:02

davidcallemhr3, that's what I'm doing. Thanks ;)08:21
alo21can I add a count in my applet indicator?08:21

sil2100seb128, didrocks: it works! Just an unity rebuild is needed, as you guys said08:47
seb128great08:47
sil2100Would be nice to rebuild unity in staging08:47
seb128just approve a merge request I guess08:47
seb128there are over 40 waiting ones, there is probably a trivial you can unblock?08:48
sil2100Will have to find a trivial one08:48
sil2100True true, will try - hope not all are complicated, complex branches08:48
seb128well otherwise do a trivial one, find a typo to fix or something :p08:48
sil2100seb128: evil, but I like iit ;)08:49

shuerhaakenhi all! What does Unity rely on for thumbnailing? I was looking for "org.freedesktop.thumbnails.Thumbnailer1" service, but it isn't installed. Any hints?11:10
shuerhaakenOne of the service files in /usr/share/dbus-1 should contain that Name11:11
shuerhaakenat least if Unity follows the standard here11:12
Mirvseb128: compiz SRU? or should I try to ask someone else if you prospect you'll not have time?11:15
shuerhaakenNobody knows where the thumbnails in unity are coming from?11:16
seb128didrocks, you did the compiz upload during GUADEC, is there any chance you could just pull the extra fix for the armel build and dput that? I've it on my list still but have been swamped in other things and didn't have a chance yet to look again at where is the current SRU vcs, etc11:21
didrocksseb128: sure, will do after my shower :)11:25
seb128didrocks, thanks11:25

didrocksMirv: hey12:00
didrocksMirv: your branch diverged from the one we pushed to precise-proposed12:00
didrocksMirv: can you resync it on it?12:00
Mirvdidrocks: I think it did not, I diffed it to the precise-proposed one?12:03
Mirvin the upload phase the bzr url was changed so I changed it accordingly12:03
didrocksMirv: well, your branch is missing the commits for 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.1, 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.2 and 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.3 that are in lp:~ubuntu-desktop/compiz/precise12:05
didrocksMirv: can you please rebase on that one?12:05
Mirvdidrocks: well, they weren't there five minutes ago until you pushed those...12:06
Mirvbut sure can be done12:07
didrocksMirv: yeah, it seems that I missed the last 3 commits, sorry12:07
didrocksMirv: still, when you see commit missing, do not bundle in one, ask for refresh :)12:07
Mirvdidrocks: yeah, I just based on sil2100's branch since it seemed identical to the uploaded one aside from the url change12:07

zcoobit doesn't for me either12:59
zcoobif i run the script locally12:59
zcoobif i run it through the network it segfaults12:59
zcoobalthough i13:00
zcoobam not 100% certain how FAI actually handles scripts13:00
sil2100When you run it through the network, what user does start the script?13:00

zcooboh sil2100 i found a new error :) executing: dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "Monospace 11"  ** (process:18630): WARNING **: The connection is closed13:14
seb128if the dbus service is segfaulting you have an issue13:15

sil2100jaytaoko: https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/nux/nux-timer-backend-fixes/+merge/11464214:01
sil2100jaytaoko: are all the changes there tested by existing tests?14:01
jaytaokosil2100: no, not yet. This is the refactoring of existing code. t we are not using the timer backend in Unity14:02
jaytaokosil2100: but we are not using14:03
sil2100didrocks: ^14:04
didrocksjaytaoko: when do you plan to use it? when it will be done, will you add tests for it?14:06
jaytaokodidrocks: eventually yes, we will have tests covering that part14:07

sil2100jaytaoko: if you have a spare moment, could you just check if make distcheck does what it should?14:18

jaytaokosil2100: I am going to fix this issue locally and then continue the make distcheck14:42

nmarquesanyone around maintains compiz on ubuntu ?20:03
seb128nmarques, you should just ask your question, is that an issue if anyone not maintaining them can reply?20:04
nmarquesseb128, my question is quite simple... I've packaged compiz and the required packages from Ubuntu 12.10 sources (no crazy hacks)20:05
nmarquesI'm just wondering what changes are to be done for Unity20:05
nmarquessince I've resumed my 2 year old project of packaging Unity on SUSE20:05
nmarquesso far the utouch stack is build properly, and some of the base/support libraries for Unity20:06
seb128"changes to be done for Unity"20:06
nmarquesthe next piece is compiz (and then the indicators, testing and integration)20:06
seb128what do you mean "for Unity"?20:06
nmarquesI mean that from what I remember from 2 years ago20:06
nmarquesthere were a lot of hacks for keybindings and some in the base schemas20:06
seb128not sure what you are asking20:07
nmarquesI'm wondering if all of that is still required, or if a plain upstream deployment will get it working20:07
seb128do you ask how to do packaging?20:07
seb128like how write a gconf schemas?20:07
seb128or change default configs?20:07
nmarquesI'm probably not going to use gconf schemas, instead plain text files20:08
nmarquesthe traditional .ini backend20:08
nmarquesgconf is somehow deprecated :)20:08
seb128ok, I don't get was you ask for20:09
seb128what about keybindings?20:09
nmarquesI don't mind dropping them and adding them later when working on integration :)20:09
nmarquesso far the most important thing is to get that stuff running20:09
seb128what is your question?20:10
seb128"what changes are to be done for Unity" is not a question20:10
seb128it lacks a "to ..20:10
nmarquesseb128, are there any hacks required for Unity or a plain deployment from ubuntu sources is known to work ?20:10
seb128like "for Unity to run"20:10
seb128or "for Unity to be shiny"20:10
seb128no20:10
nmarquesnot to much shiny hopefully, I forgot my sun glasses :P20:11
seb128well, I'm just trying to say that "for Unity" doesn't mean anything I can understand20:11
seb128you can build and run unity without hacks20:11
seb128you need a GTK patch for appmenu for program not using the new gmenu gtk api20:12
seb128there is also a small patch for ido sliders to work correctly20:12
seb128but otherwise things should work fine on any distro20:12
zgregwow, the latest changes to unity/compiz/nux in 12.04 boost performance nicely20:12
seb128zgreg, does it? good ;-)20:12
DebolazWseb128: I think he's asking about what modifications needs to be done to third party libraries for Unity to compile/run. Unity has been a bit notorious in the past for requiring some customization done to the environment.20:12
zgregyes, I just updated20:13
seb128DebolazW, if that's the question I just replied ;-)20:13
DebolazWWell, I *think* anyway. :)20:13
DebolazWzgreg: I feel 12.04 in general has been a massive, massive, massive improvement to Unity performance and stability. :)20:13
zgregyes, but 12.04 release was a bit buggy and suffered from some regressions20:14
DebolazW(To be fair, most of the bugs in previous releases seems to have been compiz bugs and not the unity specific stuff as such)20:15
zgregyeah, especially compiz massively improved20:15
DebolazWI think 12.04 was the first release I haven't had any problems with compiz actually.20:16
* DebolazW remember back in the pre-unity days, when compiz would actually leak so much resources that videos couldnt even be played fullscreen after a few hours.20:16
zgregI've been using compiz for over four years and never had problems that big20:19
DebolazWNow if I could only get applications to start fullscreen without installing ccsm, life would be rather perfect in a vanilla installation. But I can live with that. :)20:27
