jbicharobert_ancell: desrt: people on the ubuntu-gnome list really want Firefox00:15
robert_ancelljbicha, is it too hard to just install it afterwards?00:18
micahgjbicha: there's a reason why Xubuntu ships Firefox :)00:19
jbichamicahg: on the other hand, I consider the lack of Flash support a feature ;)00:20
jbichawe're not planning to get a new webkit (with WebKit2 packages) this cycle?00:21
robert_ancellit depends on what you see u-g-r as. My recommendation was to stick to upstream GNOME as much as possible, as this makes it easier to maintain, any problems are just considered upstream problems. If you start switching applications you take on responsibility for them.00:21
robert_ancelljbicha, no, unless something specifically requires it (but that doesn't seem likely)00:22
micahgjbicha: you could do what Kubuntu does and have an ubuntu-gnome-firefox-installer00:22
jbichaflash for epiphany 3.8 requires it but it's unclear whether we're taking gtk 3.8 which would also likely be needed00:23
chrisccoulsonjbicha, if you take firefox, i might just make it work with the gnome shell menu ;)00:23
jbichamicahg: I don't like the Kubuntu solution; it would be better if people would just learn to use USC or muon or whatever00:24

RAOFAww, yeah. Freshly washed baby.07:15
RAOFWith bonus bath for me!07:15
didrocksRAOF: like, you were a collateral damage? :)07:16
RAOFdidrocks: Zoë's got too long for the baby baths, so we wash her in the big bath. This means that someone needs to get in to the bath with her. It's a real chore ☺07:17
didrocksahah, ok :-) so one of you need to get that bonus as well :)07:18

didrockstjaalton: we are seeing a bunch of issue, but the same packages on quantal is working (apparently)10:43
tjaaltondidrocks: I have whatever is in raring10:43
didrockstjaalton: how much do you need a working machine? :p10:44
didrockstjaalton: like, if you upgrade, will you be able to downgrade (it seems to be only unity/compiz/nux :p)10:44
tjaaltonyes10:44
chrisccoulsong'ah, fan speed going up. i wonder how long it will be today before my laptop throttles the CPU back to snail-speed? :/10:44

=== psivaa is now known as psivaa_lunch
seb128chrisccoulson, you have experience with toolchain issues, what components would you blame for resulting in binaries which have buggy behaviours?12:25
seb128chrisccoulson, like compiz built on raring is behaving weird(er than usual), same version built on quantal works fine12:26
seb128chrisccoulson, the binaries built on raring are buggy when using on quantal as well so it seems something in the build12:26

seb128it's in ppa:ubuntu-unity/daily-build12:56
didrocksa month ago12:56
didrocksthis one worked12:57
didrocksbut the last one doesn't show the issue if built on quantal12:57
didrocks(but installed on raring)12:57
didrocksand the contrary: built on raring12:57
didrocksand installed on quantal or raring, shows the issue12:57
didrockschrisccoulson: I've tried downgrading binutils and gcc 4.7, no luck12:58
seb128chrisccoulson, btw I called Dell about the dog slow laptop on ac issue, they made me upgrade my bios to a10 (I was on a3), seems to make a difference, I'm building unity for 30min and laptop is still quite usable12:58

chrisccoulsonbut thanks for the tip :)12:58
didrockschrisccoulson: do you have any other idea what can be an obvious cause?12:59
chrisccoulsondidrocks, how recently did it break, and how long since the last good build?12:59
* didrocks is really lost12:59
didrockschrisccoulson: well, the code changed, but it doesn't seem to be related to the code. The last compiz in distro was 12/11 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz)13:00
didrockstoday's code works fine once built on quantal, not on raring13:00
chrisccoulsonah, so it's quite a large window :/13:01

chrisccoulsondidrocks, will i have a usable session if i install compiz from the PPA, or is it completely broken?13:09
didrockschrisccoulson: I'm trying to rebuild the old ocmpiz here13:09
didrockscompiz*13:09
didrockschrisccoulson: it's usable, but you need to love alt + click13:10

ogra_hmm, no, not really13:12
didrockscompiz soon built, let's see if at least, with the old code, I can get the weird behavior13:12
didrocksogra_: so, on another note, I tried to backport the nux fix this morning13:12
ogra_but changed headers or some such, you are indeed right, it would affect all builds, old and new13:12
ricotzhello desktopers13:13
didrocksogra_: it seems to conflict everywhere and we need a snasphot13:13
didrocksogra_: having the ABI break and so on…13:13
didrocksogra_: and so, we're back on this screwed stack :/13:13
ogra_didrocks, hmm, did the nux version already change drastically wrt quantal ?13:13
didrockshey ricotz13:13
didrocksogra_: yeah, it did a lot :/13:13
ricotzare there known problems with xgettext in raring stumpling over some utf8 chars in translations?13:13
didrocksthey started to refactor it even before UDS13:14
ricotzdidrocks, hi13:14
ogra_didrocks, is upstream aware that the merge doesnt work ?13:14
didrocksogra_: I tried this morning, and then, jump on the screwed stack issue, didn't get the time, if you can handle this, I would be more than grateful :)13:14
didrocksogra_: I guess jay is in our timezone for their sprint13:15
seb128ricotz, no such problem that I know about, why?13:16
ricotzseb128, hi, i am having problems build gtk+ git13:16
ricotzand i am wondering if this is a toolchain problem13:16
seb128ricotz, what's the error? does it build fine on quantal?13:17
ricotzseb128, it complains about the char "..." while summoning the pot13:17
ricotzhavent tested it on quantal13:17
ricotzthis is "make dist" failing13:18
seb128oh, fun, they recently commited changes to  "..."  by the unicode equivalent13:18
ricotzhavent checked with upstream yet13:18
didrocksso it's a build-dep issue for sure13:18
didrocksrebuilt distro compiz today13:18
seb128didrocks, compiz just rebuilt breaks?13:18
didrockshave all the bugs we mentionned13:18
ricotzseb128, i guess that it is then13:18
didrockstime to ping doko?13:18
ogra_yeah, or infinity13:18
seb128didrocks, it made you wish that builds were running procenv :p13:18
seb128ricotz, try asking on #gtk+ I guess13:19
didrocksheh :)13:19
ricotzseb128, yeah, will do, thanks13:19
seb128didrocks, so it's something which changed since 2012-11-12 in raring... not a small list :-(13:21
didrockschrisccoulson: oh, in case you missed it ^13:36
didrockschrisccoulson: no need to upgrade to the ppa, rebuilding current distro's compiz shows the same behavior13:36

bcurtiswxempathy, gwibber, xchat, twitter, gmail, facebook14:51
bcurtiswxlarsu, ^14:54
chrisccoulsondidrocks, one difference is that the newer cmake builds compiz with -DNDEBUG for some reason, which can change boost ABI14:54
didrockschrisccoulson: I have a build between old cmake and new cmake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1410398/14:55
didrocksexactly the same for the rest of the stack14:55
didrocksusing cc instead of gcc, but it's just a symlink game14:55
didrocksyou think the -DNDEBUG may be the cause?14:56
larsubcurtiswx, my bet is on one of the webapps. The next time it happens, can you send me the output of `gdbus call --session --dest com.canonical.indicator.messages --object-path /com/canonical/indicator/messages/menu --method org.gtk.Actions.DescribeAll`14:56

mlankhorstI would believe so16:44
seb128cool16:44
seb128cyphermox, speaking of indicators, how are the failing tests going? I think I understood that was blocking daily landing of e.g indicator-session?16:45
* seb128 wants to see indicator-session rolling daily, especially that robert_ancell is working on fixing the "reboot fails when other users are logged in"16:46
cyphermoxlooking after it16:46
cyphermoxyeah. :/16:46
seb128do you need help? any ETA on the fix?16:46
cyphermoxwaiting after charles/larsu, basically16:46
seb128it has been a while, we should get that resolved sooner than later with holidays coming16:46
seb128cyphermox, we should maybe help them, they seem to be busy on other things atm16:47
seb128anyway, let's discuss that off meeting16:47
seb128cyphermox, thanks16:47
seb128mterry, hey, welcome back, had a good long w.e? ;-)16:47
mterryYeah  :)  I don't have much to report, as I was on holiday.  Chewed through plenty of emails this morning though.  EOF16:47
didrocksmterry: that's why I'm waiting tomorrow before annoying you :)16:48
mterry:)16:48
seb128mterry, thanks16:48
seb128robru, hey ... I lost count of your work day, not sure if you were off while moving or worked inbetween? anyway if you have a status update feel free to share ;-)16:48
seb128works day*s*16:49
robruseb128, hey. I did do some work even though I was officially on holiday ;-)16:49
seb128unstoppable bob ;-)16:49
robru* last tuesday I implemented some infrastructure to make image uploads easier/possible in lp:friends16:49
robru* yesterday I added some async APIs on top of that previous work16:49
robru* today I'm gonna make the async stuff better and more general-purpose ;-)16:49
robru.. ;-)16:50
mterryrobru, you're back now though?16:50
robruyep, back for good!16:50
seb128robru, thanks16:50

robrumterry, thanks!16:51
attentehi seb128, hi everyone :)16:51
seb128attente, still fighting menus I assume? ;-)16:51
attenteoverall, this week was negative progress for me16:51
attentei started off the week by fixing the action names to be more reasonable than memory addresses16:51
attentethe rest of the week i had to spend re-writing some code to fix the gedit "Empty" menu item bug, as well as improve the overall architecture16:51
attenteso now i have to re-implement the action group stuff to work with the new code16:51
attentethe plan this week is fix action groups -> fix xprops/GtkApplication bug -> build PPAs for testing16:51
attente..16:51
attentestill fighting i guess :)16:52
seb128hehe, keep the good work, I'm looking forward having a ppa version to test before holidays maybe, let's see ;-)16:52
seb128attente, thanks16:53
seb128tkamppeter__, hey16:53
attentethanks seb12816:53
seb128no tkamppeter__?16:54
seb128let's move on16:54
seb128so me, I've been doing some SRUS for precise .2 and quantal, desktop bug fixes, some bug triaging, quite some sponsoring16:55
seb128if you have some spare cycle (or even if you don't try to make some) please help on sponsoring this week, Daniel keeps making calls for helps and I know quite some of us tend to get busy and miss shifts16:56
seb128so it's a good moment early in the cycle to take a few hours and help to get that queue cleaned before holidays16:56
ogra_a great way to fill your vacation :)16:56
seb128they are keeping track of who didn't do their shift also and it would be good if those who didn't do any recently were getting their names off the list before getting in trouble for it16:56
robruseb128, hey. I see those calls from Daniel. how can I help with this? I feel bad for ignoring his calls but I don't know how to help16:56
seb128robru, http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/16:57
seb128robru, look at that list, pick anything you feel like you could comment on/give a code review (often things are small, they are patches from new contributors)16:57
seb128robru, like there are small python patches for software-properties or update-manager I'm sure you could review and comment on16:57
robruseb128, wow, thanks. nobody ever showed me that list before ;-)16:57
robrubut I'm not able to directly sponsor, just reviews right? still need somebody else to sponsor16:58
seb128robru, it's in the email from Daniel :p16:58
robruok ;-)16:58
seb128robru, yeah, review is fine, any help is welcome ... uploading is not the hard part ;-)16:58
seb128 16:59
seb128that was it from me16:59
robrugreat16:59
robruthanks16:59
seb128is there any other comment/questions/note/...?16:59
seb128seems not, that's a wrap then, thanks everyone17:00
didrocksthanks :)17:00
didrocksrobru: maybe you can help cyphermox to get the latest pieces in places? so that at least the whole indicator stack is daily-landing :)17:00
mlankhorstseb128: well since you asked, I added it as item on the wiki for what I have done this week. :P17:00
seb128mlankhorst, thanks ;-)17:00
didrocksrobru: there also gcovr to package if you feel it :)17:00
didrocks(well, to package "right" ;))17:01
robrudidrocks, can you email me some details about that? I'm about to lose internet17:01
didrocksrobru: I'll ask cyphermox to get a list for you about what is remaining to do :)17:02
didrocksthanks ;)17:02
robrudidrocks, kenvandine: in fact I've gotta go run to the library, will be back on in an hour or so17:02
didrockscyphermox: can you do that? ^17:02

bcurtiswxaww, what happened to "create new file" with Nautilus ?17:12
jbichabcurtiswx: http://askubuntu.com/questions/208291/how-to-create-a-new-blank-file-in-nautilus-3-617:23
bcurtiswxjbicha, then the bug is that there's no "default" template17:33
seb128bcurtiswx, that "no default template" discussion is as old as ubuntu I think ;-)17:34
bcurtiswxwell, it's a regression now that nautilus doesn't provide a "new file" option. right?17:36
bcurtiswxseb128, unless they intended for that to happen.. IDK17:36
seb128bcurtiswx, they intended the menu to not be cluttered by an entry you don't use17:37
seb128so the entry is only there if you have templates17:37
seb128the discussion on whether we should install templates or not and which ones is ooold though17:37
bcurtiswxseb128, hmm I can see a ton of bugs with "where's my 'new file' option go", yay.. :P17:38
seb128which is a bit orthogonal, but people complain for ages that they don't know how to add templates and that the "empty file" entry is useless ... so the new behaviour is not much of a regression17:38
seb128bcurtiswx, I'm not sure so many people like to create empty files to be honest...17:38
seb128it would perhaps be useful if it included stuff like libreoffice documents17:39
sarnoldtouch /etc/nologin  :)17:39
* didrocks was a big fan of templates file, but now, I really wonder of having some by default17:40
didrocksseems that we are moving away from file management in general, so maybe it's not the natural way of creating a file17:40
bcurtiswxseb128, good thought with L-O idea.17:40
bcurtiswxwell, my file management is heading towards google drive (cloud), I wonder what the future of that will be. I'm a data guy, so I would dread a death to large data drives17:42
seb128mlankhorst, is there a "xserver-xorg-lts-quantal" I can install on my precise somewhere to test thing and where is the somewhere?17:46

seb128chrisccoulson, can I tell firefox to let my pdfs alone?18:46
* seb128 just had to rewrite a SRU testcase because he clicked on a pdf on the launchpad page and firefox decided it was a good idea to take me out my page and cancel my editing to open the file over the page I was using18:47
seb128chrisccoulson, do you know if somebody suggested they should open those at least in a new tab rather than taking over the page that contain the pdf you clicked on?18:47
=== Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha
jbichaseb128: which version of Firefox are you using? you're using the built-in PDF viewer?18:56
seb128jbicha, 18 beta from raring19:36
seb128jbicha, yes, I'm using that, but I didn't opt in, the update forced it on me instead...19:36
seb128which makes me want my evince back :p19:36
bjsnideranybody know for sure what it takes in gnome for an app to be associated with an extension?19:37
seb128bjsnider, you mean extension or mimetype?19:38
seb128the mimetype can be guessed from the filename or from the content19:38
jbichachrisccoulson: I thought pdfjs by default wasn't until FF1919:39
bjsniderseb128, extension19:41
seb128bjsnider, look to /usr/share/mime ... usually /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml for the definitions, you will have things like:19:42
seb128<mime-type type="sometype">19:42
seb128... ="*.something"19:43
seb128which links the .something to the mimetype19:43
jbichahttp://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-open.html or for some things look in System Settings>Details>Default Applications19:43
seb128then .desktop in /usr/share/applications has to claim that type in MimeType=19:43

robert_ancelltedg, ping20:01
tedgGood morning robert_ancell20:02
robert_ancelltedg, hey, I have an indicator/dbus-menu problem that I need some pointers to debug20:02
tedgPointers are evil.  Use Python :-)20:02
robert_ancelltedg, I have an indicator in lp:~robert-ancell/+junk/bluetooth-indicator. When I add submenus to menu items the menu items loose their labels20:03
tedgrobert_ancell, Whoa!  That's trippy.20:04
tedgrobert_ancell, GMenu or Dbusmenu?20:04
robert_ancelltedg, dbusmenu. I would use gmenu but the API for that is not available yet right?20:05
tedgrobert_ancell, No, it is.  You just have to turn it into a GTK menu in the .so.20:05
tedgrobert_ancell, Just not the fancy only use GMenu and never use GTK.20:05
tedgrobert_ancell, indicator-messages is all GMenu in 12.1020:05
robert_ancelltedg, I'm using appindicator3-0.1 for now, what method is that?20:06
tedgrobert_ancell, Oh, don't use appindicator, that really shouldn't be used for anything that is default.20:06
tedgIt's only for extending the base desktop.20:06
robert_ancelltedg, it was just the fastest way to test it20:06
tedgrobert_ancell, Hmm... okay.  I'm a bit worried it'll gain a life of it's own :-)20:07
tedgrobert_ancell, Do if you're doing that you can use dbusmenu-dumper to see what's going on.20:07
robert_ancelltedg, what pacakge?20:08
tedgrobert_ancell, It's in dbusmenu-tools.20:08
tedgrobert_ancell, You'll need the object path and dbus name, you'll have to get it in d-feet20:08
tedgrobert_ancell, apt://libdbusmenu-tools20:08
robert_ancelltedg, no such package20:08
robert_ancellah, ta20:08
robert_ancelltedg, btw, can we do "switch" UI elements with dbusmenu?20:09
tedgrobert_ancell, Dbusmenu, yes.  libappindicator, not really.20:09
tedgrobert_ancell, To do that in libappindicator you need to use the internal dbusmenu object and tweak it.20:10
robert_ancelltedg, is it just a hint?20:10
tedgrobert_ancell, Basically, yes.  Dbusmenu is just basically a tree of a{sv}.  You need to set the properties.20:10
robert_ancelltedg, ok, got the dumper, how do I find the dbus paths>?20:11
tedgrobert_ancell, I'm not 100% indicator-application can parse all of those properties though... I'd have to check.20:12
tedgrobert_ancell, Just look in d-feet, that's the easiest.20:12
robert_ancellin there, what am I looking for?20:12
tedgrobert_ancell, Look for the connection from your process.  Then it should have a path like /com/canonical/appindicator/$id/menu20:13
* tedg doesn't remember exactly20:13
robert_ancellwhich bus object?20:13
robert_ancelltedg, ^20:14
tedgAh, yeah, the one above.20:15
tedgIt ends in menu.20:15
robert_ancelltedg, the closest I am seeing is com.canonical.indicator.*20:16
tedgrobert_ancell, Ah, actually it's /org/ayatana/NotificationItem/$id/Menu20:16
tedgrobert_ancell, The dbus name is determined by your app.  If you don't set one it'll be :1.$i20:16
robert_ancelloh, ok20:17
robert_ancelltedg, ok, the dumper shows the menu as correct, but it's not rendering right20:18
robert_ancelltedg, actually, not it looks wrong20:19
robert_ancellit looks like dbus-menu thinks the menu items are separators20:19
robert_ancelltedg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1411036/20:20
tedgrobert_ancell, GtkBuilder?20:20
robert_ancelltedg, nope, just straight Vala20:20
robert_ancelltedg, note they do show if I just use a GtkMenuBar or I remove the submenus20:21
robert_ancellIf I use straight GtkMenuItems instead of my own classes they still don't show20:21
tedgHmm, interesting.  I wonder how it gets to that state...20:21
tedgrobert_ancell, So I'd say its on the side of your process, but probably in libdbusmenu-gtk's parser.c20:22
tedgI'd try a dump with using the straight up GtkMenuItem's instead of subclasses just to see if the results are the same.20:23
tedgI'd believe that we had a subclassing error, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't a different case.20:23
achiangdesrt: ping?20:24
robert_ancelltedg, yeah, I removed the subclassing because I thought the same but still the same problem20:24
tedgrobert_ancell, Nobody subclasses in GObject, too much pain :-)20:26
robert_ancelltedg, that's why they invented Vala20:26
tedgNo, that's why they invented C++, but that got WAY out of control :-)20:27
robert_ancelltedg, worked it out20:29
robert_ancelltedg, if you add a menu item without a label, then add a label later appindicator3-0.1 thinks it is a separator20:30
tedgrobert_ancell, Oh, what was it?20:30
tedgAh, hmm, I thought we had that case...20:30
robert_ancellthat dump tool is handy20:30
tedgYeah, with applications you can execute it without a path and click on the app too.20:31
tedgCool feature agateau added.20:31
chrisccoulsonjbicha, i'm not sure what release it's shipped by default in. i've been using it for months in nightly so i lose track of when things landed20:57
GunnarHjcharles: ping21:19
charleshi GunnarHj21:19
GunnarHjcharles: Hello21:19
GunnarHjcharles: Hello!21:20
GunnarHjcharles: Getting back to you about https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68794521:20
ubot2Gnome bug 687945 in i18n "Display names of days and months using the current language" [Normal,Unconfirmed]21:20
GunnarHjcharles: Have you had a chance to take a closer look at it?21:21
charlesI'd still prefer the change to into a general-purpose location like glib21:22
charlesimo it doesn't make as much sense to do it patchwork in different apps21:22
charlesbut at the same time, it doesn't look like that ticket is going anywhere fast21:22
GunnarHjcharles: Unfortunately true. I thought it might help if you, as the main maintainer of indicator-datetime, added a comment to that glib bug.21:23
robert_ancellcyphermox, hey, did you talk to tedg about indicator-network?21:23
charlesGunnarHj: tbh I don't feel very strongly about the actual feature, either for or against. My main concern is avoiding duplicate code everywhere that dates are shown21:29
GunnarHjcharles: Ok, I see.21:30
charlesgunnarhj: if we do this at the indicator level, we could use your code to make some namespace-appropriate version of the g_date_time_format() that you've got in that bgo patch21:31
charlesiirc the datetime patch we had before relied on some assumptions about the format strings that we pass into strftime, and those might change:21:32
charlesat some point we may want to expose a format string config option in dconf-editor, though not visible in g-c-c21:32
desrtachiang: hi21:33
achiangdesrt: hey, i'm not too familiar with how upstream gtk-devel works. i sent a pretty trivial patch over the weekend, but got no responses. can you help me navigate the waters?21:34
desrtachiang: bugzilla + IRC pings are usually the best approach21:34
GunnarHjcharles: Sorry, but now you are talking above my head... "namespace-appropriate version" - do you mean patching glib in Ubuntu?21:34
desrtlemme see if i can find your mail21:35
desrtachiang: ya.. .that's definitely the sort of thing that should be a bug report: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/21:35
GunnarHjcharles: Don't think that the indicator-datetime patch relied on any particular assumptions.21:35
desrtachiang: also: git-format-patch formatted patches are preferred21:35
charlesGunnarHj: noooo not patching glib21:35
charlesI just meant that indicator functions shouldn't start with g_ :)21:36
charlesGunnarHj: desrt and seb128 would kill us both21:36
achiangdesrt: interesting. so they don't take patches on the mailing list...21:36
GunnarHjcharles: Ok. :)21:36
desrtachiang: mailing list is for higher-level discussions21:36
charlesand with some good reason :)21:36
desrtgnome in general makes very very heavy use of bugzilla21:36
achiangdesrt: was my patch malformed, btw?21:37
desrtachiang: we prefer git-format patches21:37
desrtsince they come along with their own author information and commit messages21:37
desrtbut the patch is 'fine'21:37
achiangdesrt: ok, i'll work on that then. as for getting it SRU'ed, what's the easiest way to get that done?21:38
desrtachiang: anyway... i don't agree with your fix21:38
desrtnotice this line:21:38
desrt      dir_mtime->dir = path;21:38
desrtthen21:38
desrt      priv->dir_mtimes = g_list_prepend (priv->dir_mtimes, dir_mtime);21:38
desrtso it's not correct to free() path21:39
GunnarHjcharles: I think we should wait and see for some time. Think I'll add yet another comment to the glib bug, btw. ;-) Suggest we talk more about it if and when it's time to give up as regards the proposed glib change.21:40
achiangdesrt: d'oh, you are completely right. i knew there was something i was missing21:40
achiangdesrt: thanks21:40
desrti'll reply to the list so people know the issue is closed21:41
achiangdesrt: thanks. and next time, yeah, bugzilla + irc pings. thanks21:41
