mterrytheMuso, hello.  Are you there?  I've got a question about orca.  Is there a way to programmatically tell when it is up, running, and done initializing?  It doesn't seem to register on dbus03:27
TheMusomterry: Not that I know of, other than querying the at-spi registry and finding out whether Orca is running.03:46
TheMusomterry: libatspi2.0 shoudl provide an interface to do that I suspect.03:46
TheMusoTo query currently running clients, adn I dare say they are registered by name, i.e orca.03:47
mterryTheMuso, I'm looking at bug 944159, which can be worked around by manually triggering a notify on "focus-event" on the currently focused GtkEntry once orca is up.  For some reason, orca doesn't do the right thing on startup itself03:48
ubot2Launchpad bug 944159 in unity-greeter "orca reads the password out loud" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94415903:48
TheMusoWhat do you mean do the right thing?03:48
mterryTheMuso, on startup, it only says it is in the unity-greeter window.  it doesn't read the name of the GtkEntry that is focused nor does it notice that the entry is a password one and that it should just read "asterisk" for characters03:49
TheMusoRight. Orca has a splash screen that could be enabled as a work-around which would force a focus change, but thats ugly.03:50
mterryTheMuso, agreed.  :-/  I could simply do "after 3 seconds, fake the focus-event to kick orca", but that is obviously hacky03:51
TheMusoYep.03:52
mterryTheMuso, is this intentional orca behavior or a bug?  (It seems even in my normal session, on startup, orca only reads the current window frame, but does not read the current focused widget)  Tested by doing "orca --replace --no-setup --disable splash-window,main-window &" in a Terminal and comparing with what it gives me when I focus into that same Terminal once orca is running04:06
TheMusomterry: You would have to ask upstream if its intensional or not, I am not sure.04:11
mterryOK04:11

smspillazpitti: which keys aren't working ?08:05
pittismspillaz: it keeps forgetting about gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings lower08:05
pittismspillaz: and now it resets org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode08:06
pittiit didn't do that before08:06
pittibut I have to manually re-enable sloppy focus now08:06
pittiI'll file the bug once I restart again, so that I can check the gsettings values after start08:06
pittismspillaz: my Alt+b key had been broken with the previous version as well, so that part was neither fixed nor regressed08:07
pittiI need to check whether it fixed my Super+Up/Down keys for max/unmax, I still have that in my "fix-gsettings" script08:07
smspillazit could just be that the values we're setting it to aren't valid ones. I'll double check08:08
smspillazgsettings is pretty picky about this stuff08:08
pittidoes it do that migration on each start?08:09
smspillazpitti: I do remember seeing something the other day about it complaining about the focus mode08:09
pitti(from gconf, presumably)?08:09
pittismspillaz: perhaps from mvo, I think he has the same bug08:09
smspillazpitti: I don't /think/ so. I'm not in charge of the migration script08:09
mvosmspillaz: fwiw, I have the same bug but did not look into it at all yet08:11
didrocksthe latest compiz release remigrate some forgotten keys08:13
didrocksand as the gconf-gsettings script isn't smart enough to see "this is not the default", it's possible that it's been overwritten08:13
didrockshowever, if you still have that from now on, it's really a bug08:13
pittiok, let me restart right now and check out what it sets them to08:14
didrocksyep :)08:14

didrocksthanks pitti: smspillaz, sil2100 ^08:29
SweetsharkLaney: yes, thank you for fixing this. I had no weekend or allnighters left to care too deeply about that one in addition. sorry.08:29
smspillazpitti: is it the same as last time? (eg, can you force it back by changing the setting manually or is it just on every startup ?08:29
pittididrocks: do you think this is a gconf -> gsettings migration issue? Should I check some values in gconf?08:29
pittismspillaz: this time, running my fix-gsettings script works fine08:29
LaneySweetshark: it's alright. Perhaps you could investigate whether there was actually a bug in LO (i.e. it should have selected the right font anyway) if you get some time08:30
didrockspitti: I would try renaming all .convert gconf -> gsettings files08:30
pittiit only worked 2 out of 3 times last time, it disregarded the auto-raise setting back then08:30
didrockspitti: to ensure it's not that08:30
smspillazdidrocks: how exactly does the migration script work? Does it happen whenever someone tries to read those keys or is it per-session or per instance of the program ?08:30
didrockspitti: the ones in /usr/share/GConf/gsettings/08:30
chrisccoulsonhmmm, what are the chances of finding someone who can a) reproduce https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798157 using fglrx and b) loan me the hardware that it happens on for a few days? ;)08:31
ubot2Mozilla bug 798157 in Widget: Gtk "awesome bar dropdown background color is missing and looks wrong" [Normal,New: ]08:31
didrockssmspillaz: pitti removed the migration script08:31
didrockssmspillaz: so it's not that one which is faulty08:32
pittididrocks: ok, all .convert files disabled, trying again08:32
smspillazhow often does this script even run? shouldn't it just run once ?08:32
* smspillaz wonders if its some distro patch08:34
SweetsharkLaney: I have no deep knowledge of the fonts stuff in LO -- I set popey up to talk with shm_get (LibreOffice community member who did a lot of font work on OSX) and shm_get came back to me with 'its a font metadata' issue when they discussed it ...08:35
LaneySweetshark: OK then. I'm a middle man too. sladen is our main man when it comes to knowing about font stuff.08:36
Laneyso perhaps connect the two of them08:36
smspillazoh weird okay I can get it on trunk now for some reason08:37
pittididrocks, smspillaz, sil2100: I followed up in the bug with the results of disabling the gconf->gsettings migration08:38
pittiso if the auto-raise one doesn't belong in that bug, feel free to ignore that part; the resetting of keybindings and focus behaviour seems to be a problem in compiz itself08:39
pittimvo: so you get the same bug 1063617?08:39

smspillazyeah I think some keys are being unintentionally reset08:39
didrockspitti: that's interesting08:42
didrockspitti: can you please open: ~/.local/share/gsettings-data-convert08:42
didrocksand check if wm-schemas is stamped in it?08:42
pittididrocks: yes, it is08:43
pittioh, wait08:43
pittididrocks: it also stamps all my *.disabled scripts now08:43
pittiso I guess I should move them to another place rather than just renaming them08:43
didrockspitti: yeah, it's normal, it means they have run08:43
didrocksah, you rename them old*08:43
didrocksyeah ;)08:43
didrockspitti: so they were still runned :)08:43
didrocksrun*08:43
didrockspitti: once they are stamped, normally the gsettings -> gconf convert shouldn't run them08:44
pittiI'll try this with a fresh user08:45
pittihm, with a fresh user the result is REALLY confusing08:48
pittiis compiz actually using gsettings, or does it merely convert gsettings to some other configuration?08:48
didrocksit's using gsettings AFAIK, but better to check with smspillaz :)08:49
didrocksand sil2100 :)08:49
pittifollowed up in the bug08:51
pittiwith a freshly created user, compiz messes up the settings just like for my account08:51
pittibut it still behaves as if it hadn't -- i. e. gsettings and behaviour don't match08:52
pittiperhaps it evaluates the settings first, and then messes them up?08:52
pittiyes, indeed that seems to be the case08:53
pittiso this bug is perfectly reproducible for a fresh user account08:53
pittifollowed up with that info08:56
didrocksthanks pitti08:59
didrocksLaney: FYI, I pushed a fix for unity regarding translations (getting another translation with ack from design to avoid a string break)09:39
Laneyoh yeah?09:40
Laneyfor the release or SRU?09:40
didrocksLaney: I think it should be in the release09:40
didrocksLaney: the diff is really small (just string change + file in the POTFILES.in)09:40
didrocksand I looked at the langpack to ensure the string is translated + local test09:41
Laneyshould probably confirm the string isn't in the docs09:41

seb128didrocks, was "Workspace Switcher" translated before?09:56
didrocksseb128: yeah, but it's not anymore in the quantal langpacks and TBH, I feel downloading all .po files and sedding them to get them back can be risky, wdyt?10:00

seb128didrocks, that's what I though, launchpad doesn't delete the translation, I've updated the template to add the string and it rescued the old translations10:04

jpdsseb128: And it locks, if g-s turns off the screen as well.10:07
seb128jpds, so what doesn't work?10:07
jpdsseb128: If I set: "Lock screen after 30 seconds".10:07
seb128hate those settings, I think it means "idle time + 30 seconds"10:08
jpdsseb128: Yeah, I just realized that.10:08
seb128e.g "lock 30 seconds after the screen turns off"10:08
jpdsYeah, that's kind of... daft.10:08
jpdsWould be better to lock, then after X amount of time, shut off the screen10:09
jpdsOh well.10:09
seb128what's the point to keep the screen on once it's locked?10:09
seb128I like it better the current way10:10
jpdsseb128: Well, on my external monitor, it'd involve pressing the power button again.10:10
seb128it means I can move the mouse when it's doing the fading effect to stop the idle timeout without having to enter my password10:10
jpdsseb128: OK, so this needs changing: http://people.canonical.com/~jpds/capture.png10:17
seb128jpds, the UI you mean?10:18
jpdsseb128: "Extinction de l'ecran" should be "Immédiatement".10:18
seb128is it?10:18
seb128didn't we just say it was "idle time + that setting"10:19
jpdsseb128: Yeah, and "Extinction de l'ecran" needs to be part of the text label next to the drop-down.10:19
seb128oh, I see what you mean10:19

mptSo in French, should it be "Verouiller l'écran [immédiatement        :^] après extinction de l'ecran"? Is that where the menu belongs?10:29

mptoh, nasty10:31
seb128sorry "turn the screen" -> "lock the screen"10:31
seb128so "lock the screen after: 30 seconds" means ... lock the screen 30 seconds after it goes to suspend10:31

Trevinhothe only package depending on that is ginn, but it can work with libbamf3 as well (i..e https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/ginn/libbamf3/+merge/128463 )10:48

desrtpitti: hey16:27
desrtpitti: got quite a fun problem for you :)16:27
desrtpitti: it would be really great if someone rewrote the type registration in pygobject16:28
desrtit's pretty crackful at present16:28
desrtit calls g_type_class_ref() and then adds interfaces and properties16:31
desrtand it does it in a rather convoluted way to work around the fact that gobject doesn't like you doing that...16:31
desrtit would be a lot easier if it did the type registration, added all the interfaces, then did the property installs from the class_init function...16:32

desrtseb128: heads up: we made the choice to make 3 or 4 incompatible changes to glib under the premise of "we'll see if this breaks anything..."17:10
desrtsome changes mostly around object and class initialisation but also some signal changes...17:12
jbichaGunnarHj: I really don't want to disable gnome's language selector; actually fixing accountsservice or whatever would be best17:17
jbichathere are several usability problems with language-selector-gnome...and it isn't really GNOME so using it isn't really a very good solution for us17:19
GunnarHjjbicha: I do respect that, but I think that what to do in GNOME Remix is actually a separate question. I'd like to handle the bug for quantal (and possibly precise) as regards the currently available GNOME desktops in Ubuntu. Then I'll be happy to help making it possible to use "Region and Language" in GNOME Remix. Please see comment #14 in the bug report.17:29
jbichaGunnarHj: your solution is to disable one of the tabs in gnome's language panel & have us use language-selector-gnome17:30
GunnarHjjbicha: My proposed solution _for quantal_ is to disable three of the tabs. ;-)17:32
jbichaGunnarHj: that is already the case17:32
GunnarHjjbicha: In Ubuntu yes, as long as you don't login selecting one of the GNOME session options.17:33
jbichaEdubuntu isn't really recommending 12.10 for their audience because of LTSP/Unity 3D, bug 1036752, and related issues17:34
ubot2Launchpad bug 1036752 in gnome-session "[quantal] [regression] Gnome Classic has no compiz plugins loaded" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/103675217:34
jbichasince the Remix uses packages from the Ubuntu archives without patching, I fail to see how you intend to special-case GNOME Classic17:34
jbichaand the Remix also is shipping GNOME Classic for Quantal (but maybe not for 13.04)17:34
jbichawhat exactly is accountsservice doing wrong?17:35
GunnarHjjbicha: Accountsservice is doing just fine for Ubuntu. Language Support is more or less bug free. But before commenting on what accountsservice, g-c-c or any other package does "wrong", are you seriously suggesting that we'd make them compatible in quantal??17:40
GunnarHjjbicha: It has been planned for several cycles to make "Region and Language" ready to use in Ubuntu, but nobody seems to have had time to do the job. And please believe me when I say that there are a few things to handle.17:43
jbichaok, so I think I'm willing to ship with this annoying bug so anything you can do to fix the language panel without cutting parts of it out is welcome17:46
jbichathis isn't the only critical bug we have for the Remix; bug 1045914 is also bad17:47

GunnarHjjbicha: Think I need some clarifications now:19:04
GunnarHj1. Exactly which is the annoying bug you talk about? That the current language isn't preselected?19:04
GunnarHj2. Are you talking about GNOME Remix only? Or what about those Ubuntu users who select e.g. GNOME Classic and have Language Support as well?19:04
GunnarHj3. You said that the Remix "uses packages from the Ubuntu archives without patching". I for one fail to see how that would be possible. I demonstrate in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc) a couple of more or less necessary modifications of the Ubuntu versions of g-c-c and g-s-d. Consequently I don't understand your hesitation as regards approving the proposed solution to bug 1035219. Or am I missing anyt19:04

GunnarHjhing?19:04
jbichaGunnarHj: 1. Yes 2. Both, I think the Ubuntu GNOME Remix gets to more or less decide how GNOME Classic works as long as we are shipping it and it doesn't impact other flavors19:11
jbicha3. the Remix uses this script to build our images https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gnome-dev/+junk/iso-build-script19:12
=== m_conley_away is now known as m_conley
GunnarHjjbicha: IMHO the Ubuntu archive should include packages that work sensibly with standard Ubuntu at first hand, or else they shouldn't be there. That's currently not the case for gnome-session-fallback due to patch 10_keyboard_layout_on_unity.patch in g-c-c. So logically either the bug (showing four tabs instead of the Layouts tab only in a capplet named "Keyboards Layout") should be fixed, or the package removed from the ar19:45
GunnarHjchive. Maybe shipped exclusively with GNOME Remix? I for one would prefer that the bug is fixed.19:45
GunnarHjjbicha: The complete upstream "Region and Language" capplet cannot be used in Ubuntu without changes in e.g. g-c-c, g-s-d and accountsservice. The current design of that script does not change that fact.19:45
jbichaRegion & Language will be used in 13.04, right? so we can consider this a preview of that19:48
jbichagnome-session-fallback is only used by Ubuntu GNOME Remix & Edubuntu19:49
jbichahiding a bug is not the same as fixing it19:49
jbichaI already said I believe I'm ok with shipping with that bug if it's really not possible to fix it sanely19:50
GunnarHjjbicha: It was planned to use "Region and Language" in Oneiric, Precise and Quantal also. Maybe it will be used in 13.04 - you tell me.20:15
GunnarHjjbicha: Some users of other Ubuntu flavours are also using gnome-session-fallback of course, even if it's not included by default.20:15
GunnarHjjbicha: You did not really answer my question #3 above, did you?20:15
jbichawhich part are we still confused on?20:16
jbichaby "without patches" I mean we don't use a PPA; it's not that we're removing Ubuntu's patches so that there are two different versions of like GTK floating around depending on which Ubuntu you downloaded20:16
GunnarHjjbicha: Without modifying some Ubuntu packages, you can't replace "Language Support with "Region and Language". Period. And that's true whether my proposed bug solution is accepted or not."20:20
GunnarHjjbicha: i18n is a little more than the look of the GUI.20:21
jbichawhat do you mean "period"? You ran Ubuntu GNOME Remix Beta right? aren't we doing that already?20:21
GunnarHjNo. I failed to install it - couldn't proceed to the "Install Ubuntu" dialogue.20:22
jbichaok, how about the Try Ubuntu option?20:23
GunnarHjBut that wouldn't let me change things for testing, right?20:24
jbichayou could stick it on a USB stick with persistant storage20:24
GunnarHjBtw that didn't work either. The screen became a mess.20:24
jbichaif you do that, you probably want to use precise's startup disk creator as I believe quantal's is still more or less broken20:25
GunnarHjI don't follow you as regards sticking it on a USB. What's the difference between "with persistant storage" and installing it?20:27
