RAOFDamn. Where's robert_ancell when you need to ask a Vala question!00:01
=== attente is now known as attente_zzz
RAOFGah. Don't switch from boost::shared_ptr to std::shared_ptr in an SRU, damnit!00:44
tsimpsonmeh, std::shared_ptr is mostly a copy+paste+cleanup of boost::shared_ptr anyway ;)00:48
bryceRAOF, mind approving jockey in precise-proposed's unapproved queue?  I'm nearing eod but would like to verify alberto's fix.00:48
RAOFbryce: Done.00:51
RAOFtsimpson: Yeah, I know that. But I wouldn't be totally amazed if there was a subtle difference in behaviour due to bugs or whatever, and it's not exactly a minimal change.00:52
RAOFIncidentally, is canonical IRC down for anyone else?00:53
lifelessRAOF: its down for me :P00:53

TheMusoIts up for me.01:04
RAOFHuh. My route to irc.canonical.com dies inside of level3.net, apparently.01:12
sarnoldRAOF: very odd; my route to irc.canonical.com goes through level3.net just fine -- san jose, new york, london01:13
RAOFMine dies at ae-2-52.edge5.London1.Level3.net01:13

pittiGood morning03:45
RAOFGood morning pitti!03:45
pittihey RAOF, how are you?03:46
RAOFAnnoyed at the Unity SRU in quantal-unapproved.03:46
RAOFApart from that, pretty good.03:47
RAOFNo longer as tired as I was this morning!03:47
pittiRAOF: oh, lots of "fun" changes?03:47
pittiRAOF: not tired any more> see? the refreshing effect of processing SRUs :-)03:48
RAOFNot _lots_ of fun changes, but they appear to have switched from boost::* to std::* for absolutely no reason.03:48
pitti!?03:48
pittithis seems like a good change for trunk indeed, but in an SRU?03:48
RAOFWell, I guess it's not *absolutely* no reason; now that they can use C++11 that's fine, but it's NOT fine in an SRU.03:48
RAOFAlso there's some questionable code in there, like:03:49
RAOF+          // FIXME: although this pretends to be generic, we're just making03:49
RAOF+          // sure that icons requested to have 96px will be 6403:49
RAOF+          base_icon_width = max_width > 0 ? max_width * 2 / 3 : max_width;03:49
pittiurgh - /me accidentally hits the "show desktop" in alt+tab03:50
pittithis is such a mess, there's no obvious undo to that03:50
RAOFHit show desktop again.03:50
RAOFIt's totally undiscoverable, but show desktop is self-inverse.03:50
pittiah, so it is03:51
pittiI wonder why we still even have that03:51
RAOFFor a certain kind of user I'm pretty sure it's the bee's knees.03:57
RAOFOf course, I'm not sure if that kind of user knows how to get at it ☺03:57
TheMusoIts worth noting that modern versions of Windows have the desktop in the alt-tab switcher.04:03
TheMusoI.e from Vista and later.04:03
RAOFDear vala: hurry up and write a gcc frontend, so I don't have to wade through your indecipherable C for SRUs.05:00
RAOFWhy does unity-lens-photos have a .desktop file at all?06:27
desrtRAOF: hilariously, we were discussing exactly this last night06:34
desrtexcept we favoured an llvm frontend :)06:34
RAOFWhatever; kindly be making its internal guts transparent to me :)06:35
RAOF(Or I guess just acknowledge that what you really want is C#, and make mono more awesome :P)06:37
kenvandineRAOF, shhh... i've been getting harassed this week for my mono sticker on my laptop06:38

didrocksRAOF: what happened on the SRU front?06:42
pittisalut didrocks, ça va?06:42

popeysorry, I'll stop laughing06:44
RAOFdidrocks: Oh, no. That's right.06:45
RAOFdidrocks: I wasn't accepting unity-lens-photos until I knew why it's got a desktop file at all.06:45

RAOFdidrocks, popey: Oh, also, while browsing through the unity changes I saw something that seemed strange to make through code review; the comment says “ensure we return 64px icons, the code returns max_size * 3 / 4.06:48

RAOFIt's an awesome idea, but it barely works? :)06:51
desrtRAOF: who cares?  we ship thunderbird and evolution, don't we? :)06:51
RAOFI'm very much behind the idea of geary, and have the daily PPA build installed. I'm surprised it's in universe, though; it's currently litte more than a broken toy :{06:53

MirvRAOF/didrocks: I can't see removed xml files in lp:ubuntu/compiz - the line about disabled test was removed by didier to not erronously refer to the bug, but probably only the bug number should have been removed07:11
Mirv(regarding bug #1060171 note)07:11
ubot2Launchpad bug 1060171 in compiz (Ubuntu Quantal) "gtk-window-decorator crashed with SIGSEGV in g_hash_table_lookup_node() from g_hash_table_remove_internal() from event_filter_func() from gdk_event_apply_filters()" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106017107:11
didrocksMirv: I agree about the disabling test, RAOF, we have manual tests and agrees on those07:12
didrocksRAOF: this version was tested by popey's team and I for more than a week now and we can ensure there is no visible regressions07:13
didrocksRAOF: also, like in GNOME, we don't list every commits07:13
didrocksonly those which have a visible impact on user experience, with opened bugs07:13
didrocksI don't see PS work different here07:13
didrocksso re:compiz: is it acceptable for you?07:13
Mirvah sil2100 commented on the bug as well regarding the cherry-picks (ie. xml files were removed already earlier)07:14
didrocksfor unity, let popey's team (I looked for the commit id) giving you an answer07:14
RAOFdidrocks: As far as I'm aware PS doesn't have a blanket MRE?07:15
didrocksRAOF: sorry, I don't understand MRE :)07:16
RAOFGNOME gets a pass because it's got a MRE; it might be appropriate that unity/compiz/etc get a Micro Release Exception, but they currently don't, so we want just bug fixes, and only changes which fix bugs.07:16
didrocksRAOF: it didn't work like that in the past, I think the SRU team trusted what we pushed because it was tested07:17
didrocksnot sure how pitti dealt with compiz and unity SRUs in the past07:17
pittipretty much like "stick fingers in ears and press the knob", really07:17
RAOFHeh.07:18
pittinot that I was happy about that approach, but these diffs were usually way too big for a sane review anyway07:18
didrocksand I don't think in 3 years we pushed buggy updates in a SRU (we had one regression AFAIK on the dozen of uploads)07:18
didrocksyeah, and every merge requests already have at least one reviewer07:18
didrocksthat + the tests07:18
didrocksso, I'm happy that we can answer on the things that looks wrong to you07:18
RAOFI'm all for various PS projects getting a micro release exception (although perhaps *after* getting the message that boost::*→std::* is *not* a stable release candidate).07:19
didrocks(like boost versus std: change)07:19
pittibut large structural code changes like that give me the creeps, too07:19
pittiespecially stuff like boost -> std07:19
pittiwas this really tested on arm, powerpc, etc.? this cold lead to all sorts of interesting regressions07:19
didrocksnot sure about mandating every commit (which have been checked by distro to fit for a SRU, or would have been reverted) to get all noticed07:19
didrockspitti: yep, there have been a test on arm07:19
didrocksbut let us get an answer on boost -> std07:20
pittiand powerpc?07:20
pittiand armel?07:20
didrockspitti: no those 2 AFAIK07:20
didrocksamrhf had though07:20
RAOFdidrocks: Basically, you're arguing for a MRE - I'm sure the technical board would be receptive, given that everything's nicely tested.07:20
didrocksRAOF: right, I have a session about it at UDS07:21
lifelessmeal ready to eat?07:21
didrocksRAOF: but the additional commits in compiz ar really wondering you?07:21
didrocksare*07:21
didrocksworrying*07:21
* didrocks needs coffee07:21
RAOFdidrocks: Yes! I worry when an SRU removes files without any mention of why!07:21
MirvRAOF: like indicated in the bug report now, those were already removed as cherry-picks in the previous release07:22
didrockshence it's not indicated again07:22
didrocksin the changelog07:22
RAOFSo why is it in the debdiff?07:22
didrocksRAOF: one sec, checking07:23
didrocksI remember to have asked Mirv  to remove the line because it was already in ubuntu, but let me check, the SRU was pushed more than one week ago in -proposed and didn't get touch…07:24

sil2100mhr3: RAOF doesn't like the part that's under FIXME ;)08:17
RAOFsil2100, mhr3: Particularly: I don't see why it calculates a value, rather than just returning 64L08:18
RAOFAhem. 64.08:18
RAOFThat just seems begging for an unrelated change to make things look bad later on.08:19
mhr3RAOF, it's not in a component that should use such hardcoded values08:19
bschaefersil2100, https://code.launchpad.net/~brandontschaefer/unity/fix-1046201-6.0/+merge/13114008:19

sil2100bschaefer: thanks! Building, testing and then approving08:20
mhr3RAOF, although the fixme suggests that, no08:20
bschaefersil2100, awesome thanks!08:20
RAOFmhr3: So is 2/3 of whatever max_width is right for all values of max_width?08:20
bschaefersil2100, the diff will be smaller after the cherry pick :)08:20
mhr3RAOF, well... no :) but hardcoding 64 isn't correct either08:21
mhr3for things we use it with 2/3 works08:21
sil2100bschaefer: I think I'll even change it to Needs Review, since the decision is that we include it if it's working ok ;)08:21
bschaefersil2100, sounds good08:21
RAOFmhr3: If hardcoding 64 is wrong, but 2/3rds is also wrong, isn't 64 more *obviously* wrong and so more likely to be changed when appropriate? I picked up on this partially because I'm grumpy about the boost::→std:: change ☺.08:23
bschaefersil2100, ugg i missed a change in the test08:23
* bschaefer goes to fix it08:23
sil2100bschaefer: no problem, still updating my chroot ;)08:23
bschaefer:)08:23
mhr3RAOF, bottom line, i don't see any way to make it "better" atm, and hardcoding won't make it better08:25
RAOFI think that hardcoding makes it more *obviously* wrong, so more likely to be fixed later. That said, it's not a blocker for SRU acceptance. I just reserve the right to say “I told you so” later on, should someone make a change that breaks it ☺08:27
mhr3fwiw we're already starting to refactor that whole component ;)08:29
bschaefersil2100, pushed the fix08:30

ubot2Launchpad bug 1070735 in unity (Ubuntu) "When Unity UI elements are above an unresponsive window, they flicker" [Undecided,New]09:07
gemapopey, sil2100: using gnome classic for a while to discard unity and make sure it's a graphics issue09:17
popeythanks RAOF09:22
sil2100didrocks: !09:38
sil2100didrocks: https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/unity/ubuntu_6.10_cp_std <- the cherry-picked branch for unity09:45
sil2100didrocks: I didn't know if I should revert it to UNRELEASED from quantal-proposed or not, so I just left it as it is09:46
sil2100didrocks: hope the changelog entry is ok09:46
sil2100didrocks: oh, and there's also one more branch I'd like you to check09:46
didrockssil2100: let me have a look09:46
didrockssil2100: it's fine to keep it as it is, no UNRELEASED for this special process :)09:46
sil2100didrocks: https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/unity-lens-applications/vala_bump <- the other branch, since pstolowski has a merge that bumps the requirement for libgnome-menu and also valac09:51
jasoncwarner_RAOF "to test" ;)09:52
sil2100didrocks: https://code.launchpad.net/~stolowski/unity-lens-applications/use-libgnome-menu3/+merge/130509 <- this merge09:52
sil2100I've been told it's a necessary change ;)09:52
sil2100didrocks: thanks for checking those out!09:53
didrockssil2100: running the new unity, seems good to me :)09:55
didrockssil2100: looking at u-l-a then!09:55
didrockssil2100: unity in -proposed09:56
didrocksRAOF: ^09:57
sil2100didrocks: ta ;)09:57
sil2100gema: looking at the bug pictures now10:01
gemasil2100: so far my gnome classic experience is good, my graphics card is working fine here10:02
gemasil2100: so I doubt is a driver issue10:02
gemasil2100: or maybe it's a driver issue with unity10:03
Laneytry gnome-shell, it's likely to be closer to unity in terms of driver usage10:03
sil2100gema: we think it's rather a driver issue, since the code related to it is rather fragile - but we'll be looking at it ;)10:04
gemaLaney: I will try gnome-shell10:04
gemasil2100: thanks!10:05
didrockssil2100: pushed and approed10:06
sil2100didrocks: awesome!10:07

lamalexshould i set those vars before starting X?14:50

ubot2Launchpad bug 1070905 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "a11y panel calls g_settings_new() on (uninstalled) overlay scrollbar schema" [Undecided,New]15:47
desrtit's caused by a patch we have in our gnome-control-center package15:47
desrtit's now possible to check if a particular schema is installed via g_settings_schema_source_get_default() -> g_settings_schema_source_lookup()15:48
desrtso you should do this before it tries to do g_settings_new()15:48
attenteok, sounds easy enough15:48
seb128attente, good opportunity to play with our workflow ;-)15:49
qenghokenvandine: that empathy-chat bug goes away the instant that the chat history vertically fills the allotted space.  I'm betting on some scroll-bar hackiness.15:49

seb128jbicha, hey, is "Nathanel Titane" doing IRC?19:19
seb128attente, I just joined and don't have the backlog for your question, but is that for g-c-c?19:20
seb128in which case, no need to check for those, g-c-c depends on gsettings-desktop-schemas, that package is not optional19:20
attenteseb128: ok, cool19:20
attentels19:21
jbichaseb128: I don't think he's logged on now, but he's used nathaneltitane before19:26
seb128jbicha, ok19:26
seb128jbicha, topic like "use current nautilus" are not very useful if you are not looking at forking the whole stack19:27
seb128jbicha, if the library change interface it's going to force you to fork every single app using libnautilus19:27
seb128jbicha, if the new nautilus depends on some other GNOME components it's going to create issues as well19:27
seb128e.g thing nautilus-sendto19:28
seb128well, not my call but I would recommend strongly against going this way19:28
seb128it's going to bite back19:28
jbichaseb128: hmm? I think I'm missing some context19:34
seb128jbicha, speaking about https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/gnome-nautilus-gnomebuntu19:34
jbichafirst I saw that, but yeah that topic isn't very useful19:36
jbicha"This would provide the essential, unaltered, out of the box experience Ubuntu is known for"19:37
seb128jbicha, well, I'm just saying you are up to fork the whole GNOME stack in a conflicting/co-installable way, including gtk19:39
seb128it might be easier to just create a derivative distro rather than a flavor if you try to do this19:40
jbichaseb128: I think the blueprint is just reaction to Ubuntu including Nautilus 3.4; of course next cycle will be worse for shipping the latest GNOME but at least we'll have nautilus 3.619:41
seb128jbicha, yeah, maybe I understand the purpose of the blueprint, it sounds like "ship the latest GNOME in the archive somewhere even if Ubuntu stay on the n-1 version"19:42
seb128bryce, hey, I'm changing the approver of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-xorg-general to me, feel free to pick somebody else but we usually try to have a different people for drafter and approver (it doesn't make sense to have the writer being the one approving himself as well)19:43
bryceseb128, the xorg-general blueprint is really just for the discussion, if any actual project work comes out of it then that would be done as separate blueprints.19:47
seb128bryce, ok, fair enough, I was making the comment as it might apply to other specs as well19:48
bryceseb128, we could set chris as the drafter if that would be more proper, but really nothing will be drafted (just misc. work items that don't fit into bp's)19:48
seb128bryce, well, your call, typically (from pitti's time) the default approver is the team lead/tech lead since those are the ones doing the review of the team load, etc after UDS19:49
seb128so we have sort of kept doing it this way19:49
seb128we can discuss it next week if you think we should do it differently19:49
bryceseb128, right, and as per jason's email does it not make the most sense for that to be the X team tech lead?  unless you just enjoy the extra paperwork.  ;-)19:55
seb128bryce, I'm not enjoying extra paperwork no ;)- but we decided that we stay one team with one chart for the team and not 3 charts ... anyway as I first say just pick different people for drafter and reviewer, your call who those are then ;-)19:56
bryceseb128, alright looks good20:18
bryceseb128, maybe canonical-desktop should not be subscribed to blueprints to cut down on blueprint update spam?20:19
Laneyindeed20:19
seb128where is it subscribed?20:20
bryceseb128, printer dialog20:20
seb128bryce, Laney: oh, apparently tkamppeter did that ... unsubscribed, thanks for pointing it,20:21
seb128tkamppeter, please don't subscribe teams to blueprints, just the people who should be there20:22
seb128attente, thanks for patch, please take some time to read the wiki page I pointed and http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/20:23
seb128attente, it seems a good opportunity to see a bit of packaging and our workflow20:24

seb128attente, e.g do a debian/patches patch, generate a debdiff etc20:24

seb128well it's usually either a debdiff or merge request, but it's useful to see how both are working ;-)20:24
brycehrm, many of these gaming blueprints I'm not sure there's really going to be one hour's worth of discussion20:26

desrtContrast:20:29
desrtlow/normal/high/high-inverse20:30
bryceseb128, given that most of the gaming blueprints are set to priority low or medium, I think it doesn't make sense to devote so many uds slots esp. since we have only 4 days.  I would suggest merging the two audio BPs, and merge the process cleanup BP in with the graphics one.  maybe others could be merged.20:31
seb128bryce, yeah, that's a good point, dpm registered the topics he had on his list I think, feel free to do some editing and reject the non needed one from uds-r20:36
seb128bryce, though I guess e.g the audio ones will have a few people who will probably not have so many sessions to join so if we have enough rooms it shouldn't create much conflicts20:36
