mhr3davidcalle, pong14:30
davidcallemhr3, how are you?14:32
gotwigdavidcalle: do you got a tut for me to add preview unitegration for my scopes?14:40
davidcalleNo tutorial, but you can have a look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-lens-photos/unity-lens-photos/trunk/view/head:/src/flickr_scope.py#L438 and http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-lens-photos/unity-lens-photos/trunk/view/head:/src/shotwell_scope.py#L12314:43
mhr3davidcalle, half day of hacking, half of meetings... :)14:44
davidcallemhr3, hehe, by any chance, would you have a minute between two meetings :) to fill me up with some details on the new home-lens-default-name lens prop and the provides-private-content scope prop? Does the first one means that specifying a lens category for the Home dash is not necessary anymore? Does the second one means that the scope won't pass data to the Home dash?14:45
mhr3davidcalle, the first one is to specify the category name when there's no search string in the home lens (and the lens provides some info), if it's not specified dash will use the lens name14:50
mhr3the second one is for ordering14:50
mhr3if it's not set results from the lens won't be on top if there are results that do have that set14:50
mhr3well14:51
mhr3...yea i hope it makes sense :)14:51
gotwigdavidcalle: can you write a wiki page, somtimes ;D?14:51
gotwig*some14:51
gotwigyou should checkout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRMFCIr06kI&feature=related14:52
davidcallemhr3, it does :)14:56
davidcalleThanks14:56
gotwigwhere can I discuss about the unity greeter for LightDM?14:58
davidcallegotwig, wiki page will come, maybe not from me, but the documentation needs to land on developers.ubuntu.com first. I've just remembered that mhr3 had published a great sample for previews http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-lens-sample/trunk/view/head:/python/simple/unity-lens-previews-sample15:00
gotwigdavidcalle: thank you!15:00

bobweaverHello there I am trying to make a framework off unity for the Unity-Standalone  I want to make it like the old Ubuntu TV demo. (same names and what not) But here is the thing I see that there is already some stuff like in the Dash there is StandAloneDash.cpp   Should I be taking all the old names and just put StandAlone in front of them ?15:57
bobweaverso say I wanted to make a nre launcher and call it SimpleLauncher.cpp (like in the demo for tv )  Should I call it that or should I call it StandaloneSimpleLauncher.cpp  ? thanks for your time15:58

mhr3kenvandine, hey, btw your unity preview work - doesn't that need to be mentioned in the ffe doc as well?18:17
* mhr3 needs food18:17
kenvandinemhr3, yes, it should18:24
mhr3kenvandine, could you add it there pls?18:24
kenvandinei'll bring that up18:24
kenvandinesure18:24
mhr3seb128, fyi ^^18:24
kenvandineassuming i can finish it :)18:24
mhr3well you did take a huge bite18:25
kenvandinemhr3, njpatel said i could get you to do a quick review to catch anything early18:25
mhr3but you're doing good :)18:25
mhr3kenvandine, sure, feel free to mp it18:25
kenvandinemhr3, i spun my wheels quite a while last night trying to figure out text formating stuff in nux18:25
mhr3i'll take a look tomorrow18:26
kenvandinei was thinking something pre-MP18:26
kenvandineit is not ready for merging18:26
mhr3kenvandine, the branch doesn't need to be finished to be mp-ed18:26
kenvandinebut very unchartered territory for me18:26
kenvandinetrue18:26
kenvandinemhr3, i would love some help with text layout stuff :)18:27
kenvandineor at least examples18:27
kenvandinei can't get the content on the left to wrap18:27
mhr3can't help you much with nux, try jay or dednick18:27
kenvandineok18:27
kenvandinenjpatel had mentioned dednick too18:27
kenvandinenux is so well documented18:27
=== Cantide is now known as CanRead
mhr3right? :)18:28
kenvandine:-)18:29
kenvandineso i am like stabbing in the dark... and it's weird, i make radical changes and i get the same result18:29
kenvandinemaybe i shouldn't be doing it at 2am :)18:29
sbtehi, is there a way to hide the global menu when the gtk menu is removed from an application?18:39
sbtecalling hide on the menu doesn't work18:39
sbteah, found it, destroy works18:42
gotwighey19:17
gotwigdavidcalle: how dynamic are these previews?19:17
davidcallegotwig, what do you mean by dynamic?19:17
gotwigdavidcalle: can I use timeouts, and than resend data, e.g for changing the image in the preview19:18
gotwigand I already saw different layouts, which layouts are supported?19:18
davidcalleNot really, when you call a preview, you can bring everything you need in : image, text, and actions. It won't change after that.19:19
gotwig-..-19:22
gotwigg2g19:22
sbtetedg, indicator-messages in quantal doesn't let me install any indicator-status-provider packages19:38
sbteis this a known issue?19:38
gotwigdavidcalle: that is sad, that you cant change images19:42
gotwigdavidcalle: would be funny for things like that : http://www.cooksunited.co.uk/recipes/698251328352269/Pizza-Bianca.html19:42

seb128sbte, not a bug, those are deprecated19:44
tedgsbte, Hmm, not sure.  It wasn't a me thing, larsu did that refactor.  kenvandine?19:44
seb128kenvandine, unping19:44
tedgAh, okay.19:44
tedgHeh, I don't think you can unping someone practically speaking.19:45
tedg:-)19:45
* kenvandine was unpung19:45
seb128well, I'm sure kenvandine will get the meaning ;-)19:45
sbteseb128, so how do we use the messaging menu in emesene now?19:46
=== CanRead is now known as Cantide
seb128sbte, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/devweek1208/libmessagingmenu19:47
seb128sbte, read that, it's the UDW from lars yesterday19:47
seb128sbte, you need to use libmessaging-menu (shipped from indicator-messages), you can look at gwibber thunderbird xchat-indicator for example19:48
sbteseb128, not backward compatible, oh god19:49
sbte:P19:49
seb128indeed...19:49
sbteseb128, another problem I see from reading that is that there is no gtk2 api19:49
seb128it's not linked to gtk19:50
seb128it's a glib level api19:50
seb128xchat is still gtk219:50
seb128gmenu is in glib not gtk ;-)19:50
sbteseb128, but it's in gi, and we can't import anything from gi, because then python breaks19:51
seb128that's not true I think19:51
sbteseb128, with everything we tried to use so far it is19:51
seb128u1 did partial ports previous cycle iirc19:51
sbteseb128, ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))19:56
seb128:-(19:56
seb128try to talk to pitti tomorrow19:56
sbteseb128, sure19:56
sbteseb128, maybe we'll just enable our gtk3 port on quantal by default hoping that all the segfaults are gone20:03
seb128sbte, if you have pygobject issue or segfault feel free to ping pitti, he's one of the upstream maintainers and probably happy to help you out20:04
sbteseb128, we already fixed any bugs we could find, but since those fixes are not backported to precise, we can't use the gtk3 port by default yet20:05
seb128ok20:05
c10udseb128, ah-ehm20:05
c10udhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject/+bug/100279220:05
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1002792 in pygobject (Ubuntu) "emesene crashes with assertion failed in gtkstylecontext.c" [Undecided,New]20:06
sbteoh, and that ^20:06
c10udit's been a while since last time i tried it, maybe with recent updates it's gone20:07
sbtec10ud, let me try20:08
c10udactually it seems gone, but i'm using the quantal's gtk theme and engine20:09

mhr3thumper, can i cry to you?21:44
thumpermhr3: what's up?21:57
mhr3thumper, nux's properties are slow :(21:58
mhr3we're spending too much time constructing them21:58
thumpermhr3: where?21:59
thumperin the lens results?21:59
mhr3yea21:59
* thumper sighs21:59
thumperI know the problem21:59
thumperand thought of a radical resign way back21:59
thumperbut it'd take time to implement right22:00
thumperthe problem is that value type being passed around is too heavy weight22:00
mhr3i just finished a profile of typing stuff in dash and 35% of the model transaction is just constructing Results22:00
thumperwe should be passing around pointers to objects22:00
thumpernot recreating them all the time22:00
* thumper nods22:00
thumperbugger22:01
mhr3yea, i kinda made it worse with my other fixes, cause now there are twice as many constructions22:01
mhr3thumper, how about just not using nux's properties for Result?22:02
thumperthe problem is still there... we should fix it properly22:02
thumperthe method of handing stuff around is broken22:02
thumperresult shouldn't be a value type22:03
thumperbut it is22:03
mhr3well, we are mostly passing it as reference22:03
* thumper has to get on another call22:03
mhr3but it's not always possible22:03
thumper(on his day off)22:03
mhr3ah, k, will bother you later :)22:03
thumpermhr3: then our model is broken, and we should fix the fundamental22:03
mhr3time to sleep anyway22:04
thumpernot the symptom22:04
