* apw has recently updated on Quantal and the messaging indicator is gone, i assume this is not expected10:04
larsuapw, yes it is: the messaging menu is only shown when you have applications that integrate with it. And you need to start them manually once10:06
apwlarsu, oh, hmmm, is that new behaviour or am i just unobservant10:08
apwlarsu, i thought i used to start the applications from that menu ...10:09
ppisatii've same problem as apw10:09
ppisatiand i always had the envelope icon10:09
larsuapw, you'll be able to, you just need to start them once and they'll show up again10:09
ppisatifirst thing i did in the morning was to start irc, msn, skype, ectec10:09
larsubeware: not all applications have been ported to the new API yet10:10
ppisatiand i did it going to the messaging menu, and mrking myself as avilable there10:10
apwlarsu, indeed starting gwibber did make the menu appear10:10
ppisatinow, how am i supposed to login in msn if all the dialogues went through it? (and the icon/menu is not there anymore)10:11
larsuapw, and it will stay there now :) (until you uninstall gwibber or disable messaging menu integration in its preferences)10:11
apwlarsu, so did that happen when i updated P->Q and i just didn't notice?10:12
larsuapw, yep10:12
apwan pidgin which i use most isn't apparently connected to it hense its not appeared again before10:13
larsuapw, yeah pidgin is one of the apps that aren't ported yet. But there's already a patch attached to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/104025910:13
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1040259 in skype-wrapper "FFE: libmessaging-menu transitions for quantal" [High,In progress]10:13
larsuapw, fyi: http://design.canonical.com/2012/04/status-menus/10:16
apwlarsu, thanks for the explanations; i am not sure the user supprise this clearly engenders was the best user experience possible, not that any of that is your fault10:16
ppisatilarsu: so, if i start an application that uses that menu, it appears, right?10:17
ppisatilarsu: but wasn't empathy supposed to start automatically at boot?10:17
larsuppisati, no, empathy doesn't start automatically afaik10:18
ppisatilarsu: well, then it did when you select "available" in the envelope men10:18
ppisatiu10:18
larsuppisati, you only have to start the application once to make it appear in the menu forever from that point on (even after you close the app or reboot)10:22
ppisatilarsu: ack, done10:22
ppisatilarsu: thanks10:22
apwlarsu, is there a way to get rid of things you never use from it which you used in the past and no longer do ?10:23
ppisatilarsu: but i don't get why it shouldn't be there after a P->Q transition10:23
larsuppisati, apw, I agree it's not a perfect experience for users upgrading from P -> Q, but due to the new API it was practically impossible to write migrations10:23
larsuit was a tradeoff, we chose the minor annoyance of starting the app once10:23
ppisatilarsu: ok10:23
larsuapw, a well-behaved application will offer a preference. Otherwise you can remove it from dconf-editor (com.canonical.indicator.messages.applications)10:24
larsuof course, uninstalling an application will also remove it10:24
ppisatilarsu: another question, i was used to have the skype icon show up in the iconbar10:26
ppisatilarsu: but is not there anymore, you know why?10:26
ppisatiof course, skype is running now10:26
larsuppisati, it shows up for me, right next to the messaging menu10:26
ppisati:(10:26
ppisatint for me...10:26
ppisatii've it in the unity bar10:26
ppisatibut not up there10:26
larsuppisati, no idea, sorry. There doesn't seem to be a preference, either10:28
ppisatilarsu: do you know if there's a place (directory, gconf entry, etcetc) where all the icons that show up in the bar are listed?10:31
larsuno, there isn't10:31

mhr3ppisati, try adding "skype" to com.canonical.unity.panel.systray-whitelist10:49
mhr3(in dconf)10:49
ppisatimhr3: so we still need to whitelist it, ok10:53
ppisatimhr3: question: since it's such a common app (and it's integrated with the messaging menu), why don't we whitelist by default?10:54
mhr3it's weird, i remember it using indicator previously, now it isn't :/10:54
mhr3larsu, i guess because of the api changes?10:54
ppisatis/it's integrated/it's not integrated/10:55
larsumhr3, yep, but somebody seems to be working on it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/skype-wrapper/+bug/104025910:56
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1040259 in skype-wrapper "FFE: libmessaging-menu transitions for quantal" [High,In progress]10:56
larsumhr3, I don't have skype on the whitelist. I think its an appindicator already10:58
mhr3larsu, that's what i said, but it disappeared for me after moving to 12.1010:58
larsumhr3, oh, you mean skype in the messaging menu or skype on the panel?10:59
mhr3larsu, panel11:03
mhr3or maybe it's just a qt lib that's no longer installed with skype11:04
larsumhr3, might be. Does the sykpe binary export the /org/kde/statusnotifieritem objects for you?11:05
larsuand do you have indicator-application installed11:05
mhr3larsu, it doesn't export that11:06
larsuthat's the problem, then :)11:06
larsuwhich skype version are you running?11:06
mhr3the question is why :)11:06
mhr34.0.0.811:06
larsuokay, same for me11:06
larsumhr3, do you have sni-qt installed?11:12
=== mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|lunch
* larsu found agateaus blog post about it: http://agateau.com/2011/07/19/statusnotifieritem-for-qt-applications/11:13
larsuskype seems to use QSystemTrayIcon still, and sni-qt is a plugin that turns systray icons into app indicators11:13
mhr3larsu, i do :/11:13
larsu:(11:13
mhr3and that's what happens when aurelien leaves11:14
conscioususerlarsu: do you know where I can find some UOA docs for third party app devs? just reading the api is being insufficient for me12:08
conscioususermhr3: I heard some people solved this issue by installing the correct arch of sni-qt12:10
mhr3conscioususer, bingo, installing the i386 variant fixed it12:12
mhr3larsu, ^^12:13
conscioususer:)12:13
=== mmrazik|lunch is now known as mmrazik
mhr3now if only the skype menu didn't flicker everytime i click on it12:15
larsuconscioususer, awesome, thanks!12:16
larsuconscioususer, I'm not sure about docs for uoa, let me find out12:17
conscioususerlarsu: thanks :)12:18
didrockslarsu: hey, I have an other simple and dummy merge for your karma :) https://code.launchpad.net/~didrocks/indicator-power/changes_from_trunk.12.10/+merge/13464312:23
larsudidrocks, sure - but I'll wait to see the diff. Not that I don't trust you.......12:24
didrockslarsu: sure sure :)12:24
larsuconscioususer, meet amigadave :)12:25
amigadaveconscioususer: hi!12:25
amigadaveconscioususer: mardy wrote https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1MVsDdwzff6LqQ6i3z-cSgg8dHjb5DaHMXFeWtIa6Cvo/edit which is some general developer documentation for UOA12:25
amigadaveconscioususer: is that more what you were looking for?12:25
conscioususeramigadave: probably, as I'm specifically looking for info for 3rd party clients12:27
conscioususeramigadev: at a first glance this seems enough, thanks :)12:27
amigadaveconscioususer: we are working to get all of that documentation into the API references too12:27
amigadavelet us know if you have any feedback :)12:28
conscioususeramigadave: will do, thanks :)12:29
larsudidrocks, approved12:31
larsudidrocks, I'm really looking forward to seeing how daily landing will turn out in practice12:32
didrockslarsu: same here, we are >< <- that close12:33
larsu\o/12:33
didrockslarsu: just need a commit after the bootstrapping so that it can detect there are some changes12:33
didrockslarsu: let's find something useful for each project :)12:33
larsudidrocks, yep :)  btw, did you decide on a rule on when to mark bugs as "fix released"?12:35
didrockslarsu: right now, I only open the downstream bug and it will be marked as fix released, I don't touch the upstream one until you decide to do your own release12:36
didrockslarsu: it's really as you prefer, if you think it should close it, we can discuss it :)12:36
* larsu is unsure12:37
larsustill :)12:37
didrockslet's see how it goes that way :)12:41

conscioususeramigadave: er, why does uoa store user passwords for oauth-based accounts?13:50
amigadaveconscioususer: so that it can reauthenticate without the user having to enter the credentials again13:55
conscioususeramigadave: isn't this what the access token is for?13:55
amigadaveconscioususer: if the token expires, then the user would otherwise have to re-enter the username and password13:56
amigadavei think that refresh tokens were tried (with Google, specifically) but they did not work reliably13:57
amigadaveand Google has very short token validity :/13:57
conscioususeramigadave: but what about oauth1.0 services like twitter?13:57
conscioususeramigadave: btw, what do you mean by "not work reliably"? I'm curious on that one because I use google refresh tokens on an app of mine13:58
amigadaveconscioususer: mardy knows the full details13:59
amigadaveconscioususer: and #accounts-sso might be a better place for these questions :)13:59

davidcallemhr3, does this kind of bug fall under your new jurisdicition? (frequency of recommendations and sources calls to *search.ubuntu.com) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-video/+bug/107969914:53
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1079699 in unity-lens-video (Ubuntu) "Empty queries being sent to videosearch" [Undecided,New]14:53
mhr3pawel is looking at it14:53
mhr3i mean, pstolowski14:54
davidcalleOk14:54
pstolowskidavidcalle, mhr3: hey, yep. it's basically "by design", I'll check with server side guys if we can query it less often for recommendations.14:56
mhr3pstolowski, are the sources checked that way too?14:57
pstolowskimhr3: yes, same interval14:58
pstolowskimhr3: this is definately too often for sources14:58
mhr3i can imagine that sources should be checked just once14:58
mhr3+ on location change14:58
mhr3which i'm not sure can be detected easily14:58
davidcallemhr3, I think that tedg has made some work on Ubuntu geoclue last cycle, maybe he could give a hint?14:59
mhr3yea, i'm pretty sure the time indicator or whatever behind it knows, just don't think it exposes changes to location as some signal15:00
tedgmhr3, We poll occasionally, it's GeoIP though so it really only changes on reboot.  But it's all just GeoClue.15:01
tedgmhr3, So if you cache an address then you can get the new one.15:01
tedgmhr3, If you grab indicator-location you can see what you've got easily.  Also, some simple sample code.15:02
pstolowskimhr3, davidcalle: we could consider location for R, but for P or Q we should only fix the frequency15:02
mhr3tedg, i'm not a fan of polling, i want to be notified :)15:03
mhr3pstolowski, sure15:03
davidcallepstolowski, +115:03
tedgmhr3, Well, you'll be notified on changes.  For GeoIP we can't get notified.15:04

mterrydidrocks, what does the jenkins error in https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/unity-scope-gdrive/rename/+merge/134567 mean?17:44
didrocksmterry: I don't really know, it seems something similar to my check I did with tarmac, like "check that the approved rev id is the latest rev on the branch"17:45
didrocksI think they do the same on jenkins17:45
didrocksmmrazik? ^17:45
didrockshum, not hereā€¦17:45
didrocksmterry: so, I approved agian17:46
didrocksnow see:17:46
didrocksApproved revision: 3017:46

MCR1didrocks: Hi :) Could we change the way expo is patched for Ubuntu ? It seems to create quite some problems...17:47
didrocks(it seems they have the same check, see "Unapproved changes made after approval.")17:47
didrocksMCR1: how do you want to change it?17:47
MCR1Hmm, maybe with some ifdefs or so...17:47
MCR1COMPILE_FOR_UBUNTU_UNITY or something like that17:48
MCR1the problem is that for example this patch fails all the time: https://code.launchpad.net/~mc-return/compiz/compiz.merge-fix1009592-and-1074487-expo-xml-tooltip-fixes/+merge/13275417:48
didrocksMCR1: what do you mean? it's still a patch applied17:48
didrocksMCR1: with inline packaging, you can now try and apply it yourself :)17:49
didrocksand fix it17:49
didrocksor convince upstream who did the patch to take it by default17:49
MCR1yeah, that is what I mean17:49
didrocksI would love that it's upstream17:49
MCR1it should be in upstream, otherwise things are really hard to fix17:49
didrocksif you can push for that, please try :)17:50
didrocks(I already tried)17:50
didrockshaving patches to maitain is a burden17:50
MCR1and expo is currently very broken in various ways (the ubuntu patch is breaking it...)17:50
didrockswell, the ubuntu patch was done by upstream, you know ;)17:50
MCR1for example brightness and saturation settings are ignored...17:50
MCR1*of inactive viewports17:51
MCR1and other issues17:51
didrocksif you feel fixing them, that would be awesome!17:51
MCR1so I got to convince smspillaz and duflu ?17:51
