mejodoes unity2d support the feature to scale windows by dragging them to the desktop borders?07:35
mejoin unity3d this feature can be configured through compiz, but unity2d doesn't use compiz.07:35
sil2100mejo: hi, sadly, unity-2d didn't yet support this feature07:36
sil2100So it's not possible to configure it in any way I'm afraid07:36
mejobummer!07:37
mejothanks for your help anyway. it's much appreciated07:38
duflumejo, sil2100: That's a compiz feature. So you can have it in Unity2D if you start plain compiz.07:39
mejoduflu: thanks.07:45
mejois it ok to ask here for hardware support questions? I'm searching for a graphics board where open source drivers support dual-head unity3d with high resolution out of the box.07:45
duflumejo: AFAIK, any modern Intel, Nvidia or ATI/AMD chip will work.07:46
mejoI'm wondering whether this is possible with the ati radeon hd 6450 and open source radeon driver.07:47
duflumejo: However, I personally recommend the drivers in this order: intel, radeon, nvidia, fglrx, nouveau07:47
mejoduflu: thanks. currently I use a rather oldish radeon x1550, and only very low resolution was supported with radeon driver and unity3d in dual-head mode. thus I was forced to switch to unity2d. and performance is really bad. response times are usually very high.07:48
mejoduflu: unfortunately intel graphics are only available as part of the cpus, right? or do pcie graphics boards with intel chips exist?07:49
duflumejo: I have not tested multimonitor with radeon for a long time so can't comment. But radeon with a single 1920x1200 is excellent (HD 5450 I think)07:49
duflumejo: Yes, Intel is only with CPUs07:49
duflumejo: And performance, especially multimonitor, will get a serious boost when compiz 0.9.8.0 is officially released for 12.1007:50
mejothanks, that's an important hint07:52

sil2100andyrock: I'm just looking at bug #1035951 on precise08:36
ubot5Launchpad bug 1035951 in unity (Ubuntu Precise) "[Regression] Hideous low-res icon when using the HUD with autohide enabled." [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103595108:36
sil2100And I can't really reproduce it there on precise unity08:37
sil2100andyrock: are there some specific steps on getting it reproducible?08:37
sil2100andyrock: I enabled auto-hide and the HUD icons look good08:37
andyrocksil2100, which graphic card?08:38
sil2100andyrock: nvidia08:38
duflusil2100: Try setting an odd launcher icon size08:38
andyrockduflu, sil2100 with 48 I can see that problem08:38
dufluHmm, that's not very odd08:39
andyrockduflu, the probelm was the we were passing to IconRender08:39
andyrockwidth: x08:39
andyrockand08:39
andyrockheight: x+108:39
dufluandyrock: Yeah I saw your code08:39
dufluandyrock: Still, are we using nearest filtering there? It should be linear filtering surely...08:40
andyrockduflu, i'm quite sure there is an if condition to select the filtering08:40
andyrockmost of time we use nearest08:40
andyrocki tried to force linear filtering passing the wrong width and height08:42
dufluandyrock: In the dash it looks like we're using linear. I can't think why you'd use nearest on the launcher...08:42
andyrockand the icon looked much better08:42
dufluYes, it will :)08:43
andyrockduflu, ask Jason :)08:43
sil2100Well, still can't really reproduce it here ;) Is it intel specific?08:43
sil2100Since even with odd sized icons, they still look good to me08:43
andyrocksil2100, shame on you! you cannot reproduce a bug :P08:45
sil2100:<08:45
sil2100Someone else needs to review this one I'm afraid08:45
andyrocksil2100, i can make a ppa and ask the bug reporter to "review" it08:46
sil2100popey: hi!08:47
sil2100popey: can you fire up your precise machine for a moment ;) ?08:47
popeyI'm on precise now08:48
popeywe talking dogfooding or vm testing?08:48

popeynice description08:48
popeyi like the word "hideous" in bugs08:48
sil2100hehe08:48
popeyit only happens if you have the launcher above 32px08:50
popeyi.e. it doesn't happen if you do have the launcher at 32px08:50
OwaisL_Hey08:50
OwaisL_Is unity from staging working right now? It segfaults for me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1158636/08:50
sil2100I was changing the size to 37 and I still had a nice icon08:51
popeyhmm, yeah, 38 is okay08:51
sil2100OwaisL_: on quantal?08:51
OwaisL_sil2100, yep08:51
popeysil2100, yeah, gets worse from about 48 up08:51
popeyand 48 being the default, i guess that's why it's noticed08:52
sil2100OwaisL_: didn't try upgrading today, but yesterday it was fine08:52
sil2100popey: well, I couldn't reproduce it - but if you can, can I send you some really hacked up packages to check if it helps?08:52
popeysure thing08:52
sil2100popey: they're made so that they're easily removable, i.e. the version number is lower than the current version08:53
OwaisL_hmm, I had the same problem yesterday. Stuck with gnome-shell :(08:53
popeysil2100, only affects some apps08:53
popeye.g. xchat08:53
sil2100OwaisL_: hm, it seems to crash in a very strange place08:53
sil2100popey: priv08:56
popeygot it!08:56
andyrocksil2100, popey, firefox and chromium icons should have this problem too08:59
popeyah i see it in ff too09:01
* popey reboots to test new packages09:01
sil2100Ok, officially 5.0 is broken it seems09:04
sil2100It seems CMake is failing on "Schema validation error" every time09:05
sil2100Because of the usage of the deprecated /desktop/ path in schemas?09:05
popeysil2100, yeah, that package seems better09:06
sil2100popey: \o/09:06
sil2100Now we just need to fix the 5.0 trunk again09:08
sil2100Strange thing09:15
sil2100mmrazik: hi! The 5.0 builder and merger runs on quantal?09:16
mmraziksil2100: good question. let me check.09:16
sil2100mmrazik: since I noticed all merges in the unity/5.0 branch started failing due to a warning from glib-compile-schemas - which, what I see, only happens on quantal, on my precise chroot (and precise glib-compile-schemas) this does not09:17
mmraziksil2100: seems to be some quantal/precise mix :-/09:19
sil2100Since I'm not sure if changing the paths from /desktop/ to others right now is a good idea09:20
sil2100hm, so I need to find a way to silence this09:20
mmraziksil2100: the builds are failing because of it?09:20
sil2100mmrazik: yes, all merges fail because of this09:21
mmrazikuh oh.. this sucks.09:21
sil2100i.e. https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/automerge-unity/1058/console09:21
sil2100Because CMake does a schema validation during setup09:21
mmraziksil2100: I would prefer move it (SRU branch) from the unity-merger VM to our new setup in jenkins rather than fixing it there09:22
mmrazikthe setup there is IMO not really designed in a way to support this easily09:22
mmrazikit probably could be fixed but I'm not too keen to dig into that code09:22
sil2100mmrazik: no problem, I understand that - but I'm sure a switch to the new setup would take some time, right?09:23
mmrazikyep09:23
sil2100For now I'll try to fix it up some other way09:23
mmrazikok09:23
sil2100mmrazik: just to be sure - there's no easy way of forcing the meerger to use the precise version of libglib2.0-bin during building?09:32
mmraziksil2100: nothing comes to my mind right now09:34
mmraziklet me check something09:34
mmraziksil2100: I would like to go for lunch09:37
mmraziksil2100: I can change it now and potentially break everything09:37
mmraziksil2100: and you won't be able to fix it09:37
mmraziksil2100: or I can try to do it after lunch09:37
sil2100mmrazik: no problem, bon apetit! Since I still have some ideas of my own ;)09:38
mmraziksil2100: I'll ping you once I'm back09:38
mmrazikit shouldn't be that hard actually09:38
sil2100mmrazik: I have an ugly hack for this if anything, but I would prefer using it as a last resort09:47
mmraziksil2100: I'm back. Is there a MP I can approve to test things?10:27
sil2100mmrazik: yes, one moment10:27
sil2100mmrazik: https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity/fix-lp-998752-stable/+merge/119486 <- for instance this one is safe10:27
sil2100Oh, wait10:28
sil2100It just got merged o_O10:28
mmrazikyes ;)10:28
sil2100Did you fix something?10:28
sil2100:)10:28
sil2100Since I tried merging it like 30 minutes ago, I thought it will fail10:29
sil2100(again)10:29
mmraziksil2100: I was eating my lunch. I didn't touch anything.10:29
mmrazikweird10:29
sil2100Ok, so hm, let's try another one that recently failed10:30
sil2100https://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/unity/detail-mode-last-active-window-fix-SRU/+merge/119763 ?10:30
mmraziksil2100: the real problem is actually the -proposed part10:30
mmrazikit is building on precise with the quantal-proposed10:30
mmrazikwhich might bring stuff in10:30
mmraziklet me try to fix/approve10:30
sil2100Ok, thanks!10:30
mmraziksil2100: will take a while. I can not really control what the unity-merger box picks up and right now its building some quantal branch.10:36

c10udmarco, no idea, I'm not in the team, but considering quantal is under heavy development i guess soon13:10
marconice to know that. Thanks!13:11

om26erbschaefer, no, it didn't ofcourse, but you can land it now :-)16:46

bschaeferom26er, ^16:46
bschaefergeez im tired16:46
* bschaefer was wondering why it's just an AP test16:47
om26erbschaefer, hah yes it just a manual-test  -> Autopilot conversion ;-)16:47
bschaeferom26er, oo ok :), I was thinking you had a manual test and thomi forced you to do a AP test :)16:48

nmarquesanyone that can help me with the PointBarrier patches on Xorg required for Unity?16:55
bschaefernmarques, hmm I have't seen that in a long time...I think you need libxfixes or something like that...16:56
bschaefernmarques, IIRC libxfixes-dev16:56
bschaeferbut im not 100%16:56
nmarquesbschaefer, yeap, that's one side17:07
nmarquesbschaefer, but for what I've seen there's also patching involved on xorg-x11-server and on xorg-x11-proto17:07
nmarquesI need to gather all this info so I can contact Stephan Dirscher (Xorg maintainer on SUSE) so he can analyze and see if we can include it17:07
nmarqueshe's really a cool guy and he is very flexible with patches, so as long as I know exactly what is involved to pass him, we should be ok with those patches :)17:08
bschaefernmarques, hmm well im unsure past that then sadly :(. Its been a while since I saw that problem17:09
nmarquesbschaefer, well 6.2.0 doesn't build without those patches :) anyway you know who maintains xorg on ubuntu so I can mail him ?17:11
nmarquesbschaefer, or should I risk on unity devel mailing list or equivalent ?17:12
bschaefernmarques, hmm not off the top of my head, #ubuntu-desktop would be a good place to ask a few hours ago17:12
bschaeferbut I would think that mailing list would help17:12
nmarquesbschaefer, thx :)17:18
nmarquesbschaefer, for the rest I have most of the stuff properly built and updated, so once this is fixed, it's a few days for integration and hopefully we're fine :)17:18
bschaefernmarques, np, and awesome :)17:19
