* apw is seeing some background corruption with todays quantal13:01
seb128apw, nothing in desktop changed for a week, maybe check on the kernel,xorg side?13:04
apwseb128, given the shape of the corrupted areas it feels like a compositor issue13:04
seb128but compiz didn't change for a week...13:05
seb128if that started today it's weird13:05
apwno this has been lagging a week probabally13:05
apw(the machine, and updated today13:05
apwso this probabaly is the first time it has had the new compiz13:06
apwits a very basic machine, a netbook which of course we test with13:06
apwi keep getting what looks like the shadow under the launcher visible on the screen without the launcher which is scrolled off13:07
apwyeah its the _exact_ width of the launcher bar without its shadows13:08
gotwigmorning13:09
apwseb128, how easy is it to downgrade compiz to see if it is to blame13:12
apwseb128, as the previous kernel shows the same behaviour13:13
seb128apw, not, the recent version was the port to gsettings which involves 5-6 desktop components13:13
apwseb128, ok i definatly got that update cause gsetting migration exploded during the update13:14
seb128in which way?13:15
apwit crashed and tried to file a bug report13:15
apwthough it didn't work, i do have the /var/crash for it, so i suspect if i knew how i could resubmit it13:15

gotwighello15:45
gotwigAre unity previews images working correctly? I dont see images for some system lenses15:45
gotwigdavidcalle: ^15:48
davidcallegotwig, don't see images : just the spinner or no preview at all?15:48
gotwigdavidcalle: I dont see the big image at the left in unity preview15:49
gotwigunity preview works15:49
davidcallegotwig, ok, which lenses?15:49
gotwig"Applications"15:50
gotwig"No Image available"15:50
nessitahello everyone! Could anyone please help me fix/debug/diagnose this issue I'm having with unity-3d in precise? My terminal gets resized (it gets smaller and smaller) when I use Qt Apps (see video here http://ubuntuone.com/5P2MrQofbiEfFZkLk8bKF5)15:51
gotwigAnd I think I did as well something wrong in my own lens15:51
davidcallegotwig, that's probably because the application doesn't have a screenshot, if it doesn't have one either in the Software Center, that's normal then.15:51
=== _salem is now known as salem_
gotwigdavidcalle: btw, the screenshots @ omgubuntu look much better than it actually is ;)15:52
popeygotwig, maybe you need more kitten pictures15:52
gotwig:O!15:52
gotwigpopey: of course, thats it, or more cookies images15:53
gotwig;)15:53
davidcallegotwig, what have you done wrong, same issue, no image?15:58
gotwigdavidcalle: I think its not a problem. Screenshot is missing I think15:58
gotwigdavidcalle: I am experimenting with my cooking lens and unity previews right now15:58
gotwigjust wanna know what is broken, what not, etc.15:59
gotwigand with python 3.2 there is a better way for temporary file handling16:00
davidcallegotwig, that's nice :) Well, as far as I've tested things, everything works. There is just a bug when you are putting *a lot* of text in the "description" field of previews.16:00
gotwigtempfile16:00
gotwigof course, it would be awesom, if Unity could just handle raw image data, so I dont need to make it to a file16:00
davidcallegotwig, you are doing things with the images before passing them to Unity? What sort of things, embedding icons?16:04
gotwigdavidcalle: what are embedded icons16:05
davidcallegotwig, putting an icon on top of an image (to indicate from which service/website it comes from for example).16:06
gotwigdavidcalle: I have the imagedata in an array position16:07
davidcallegotwig, oh right, I remember :)16:07
davidcallegotwig, the db you use is inflicting this on you. Have you filed a bug on Unity about that?16:09
gotwigdavidcalle: hm, I dont know16:09
gotwigdavidcalle: should I fill a bugreport?16:09
davidcallegotwig, the Dash now has it's own thumbnail generator, for previews at least, maybe it could be used for lens results too. Yes, you should.16:10
gotwigdavidcalle: maybe I can retry?16:10
davidcallegotwig, you should16:10
gotwigdavidcalle: to test if it works with raw data?16:10

davidcallegotwig, do you mind if I tweak your bug report a little (fix typos)?17:18
gotwigdavidcalle: haha ;) sure, friend17:18
davidcallegotwig, ok, done and marked myself as affected.17:22
gotwigdavidcalle: :-)17:22
gotwigdavidcalle: I am using now tempfile for this17:22
davidcalle;)17:22
davidcallegotwig, yes, that's much easier17:23
gotwigdavidcalle: do you know a scope that uses JSON?17:23
davidcallegotwig, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~davidc3/onehundredscopes/cities/view/head:/src/unity-scope-cities17:28
davidcallegotwig, need to go, but you'll see, json is very easy to parse, much nicer than xml.17:29
c10udi must say, the hud is really a nice thing: i opened gimp, i wtf-ed about finding a menu option and then...the HUD! wow m3n! (yes, first time i use the hud, but still ;))18:03

MCR1Hi :)20:03
MCR1Do I need Compiz r3319+ (GLES merge) to run latest Unity trunk ?20:03
bschaeferMCR1, hey, https://code.launchpad.net/~mc-return/unity/unity.merge.fix-hardcoded-keys-part1/+merge/12154520:22
MCR1bschaefer: Hi :)20:22
bschaeferMCR1, if you get that fixed I can approve it :)20:22
MCR1Thx, but I do not know what smspillaz exactly wants - I would have to make all of those constants then, not only this one, yes ?20:23
MCR1bschaefer: You know how this part of the code looks like...20:24
bschaeferMCR1, he just wants you to make a const std::string for the string "core" and "window_menu_key"20:24
bschaeferand then replace each hard coded "core" with that variable20:25
bschaeferso if core or window_menu_key ever change only 1 part of the code needs to be changed20:25
MCR1bschaefer: but this would be inconsistent with the other shortcuts then, no ?20:25
MCR1bschaefer: I should do that for all of them then, no ?20:25
bschaeferMCR1, do it for all the "core" and "window_menu_key"20:26
bschaeferMCR1, let me look at the code again20:26
bschaeferit's been a week or so haha20:26
MCR1And where should I put those constants then ?20:26
MCR1haha20:26
bschaeferin the cpp file20:26
bschaeferyo can just make it twice20:26
bschaeferone in standalone and one in unityshell.cpp20:26
MCR1ok20:26
MCR1Probably it is best to make those constants for all the other plugin names and key names as well to keep the code consistent20:28
bschaeferMCR1, yeeah, but that code also just needs to be fixed...20:29
MCR1bschaefer: Do you know if my assumption that Unity trunk needs the GLES version of Compiz to run is correct ?20:29
bschaeferMCR1, hmm it should be in staging ppa20:29
bschaeferenough to compile/run unity20:29
* MCR1 is stuck with Compiz r3319, because of all his additional plugins he does not wanna loose20:30
MCR1:)20:30
bschaeferyeah that wouldn't be good :)20:30
MCR1Sooner or later I will have to move to the modern GLES Compiz, but currently it hurts too much20:31
MCR1Unfortunately I have no knowledge about OpenGL -> GLES porting, so at the moment I cannot help at this front...20:31
bschaeferMCR1, neither do I :)20:32
