m4n1shmpt: the privacy panel in system settings is done, but the diagnostics is broken since the package names etc have changed and the whole diagnostic daemon named have been changed, which breaks the build. Any suggestions? That is the only thing stopping your design from going live!04:36

didrockshum, is it expected that we no more have "apply systemwide" in the proxy settings?08:48
seb128didrocks, known bug, patches are welcome ;-)08:52
didrocksseb128: but it's still applied to the existing user?08:53
seb128"bug", the capplet got rewritten upstream08:53
seb128so the patch didn't apply08:53
seb128and didn't get ported08:53
seb128didrocks, right, the proxy settings work08:53
seb128but they are written in gsettings08:53
didrocksok08:53
seb128e.g that's not enough for apt and such08:53
didrocksnot system wide08:53
seb128didrocks, no08:56
seb128the current capplet is user settings08:56
seb128like theme, etc08:56
didrocksI got it, it's only applied for the user and no root/system settings or apps that don't read GNOME properties08:57
seb128didrocks, right, which sucks08:59
seb128we should get that patch back08:59
seb128ideally upstream if possible08:59
didrocksyeah, that's not rolling-release like :)08:59
seb128or at least get the "set proxy" in systemd-service08:59

mitya57Laney: why not updating gnome-keyring to 3.7.91? there were some quite important fixes there...12:53

Laneythe hope is there13:09

xnoxBigWhale: hm?13:10
BigWhaleWhen I'm collecting debug information for Kazam, I also record information about user home directory path and the location of where Kazam is recording files. Is this something I should let the user know?13:11
BigWhaleDEBUG Utils - Video folder set to: /home/bigwhale/Videos13:12
BigWhaleDEBUG Utils - Picture folder set to: /home/bigwhale/Pictures13:12
BigWhaleThese are the lines in question.13:12
BigWhaleThere are probably more.13:12
BigWhaleSo, someone might be recording picures to /home/joe/my_secret_evil_plan_to_take_over_the_world/pics/13:13
seb128BigWhale, no need to warn the user about that I think, but why do you need those directories?13:15
xnoxBigWhale: what do you mean by "collecting" is it in the logs? or are they automatically emailed to you?13:16
xnoxBigWhale: there is all sorts of information like that in the logs, and when users upload it to launchpad they have an option to make bugs private and/or editting the logs when sharing those.13:17
BigWhaleIt's in the logs if user runs kazam with --debug13:17
BigWhaleseb128, well with --debug I dump a ton of information on screen.13:17
BigWhaleand I had soe problems with XDG so I added these lines.13:18
xnoxBigWhale: as long as those are not automatically uploaded anywhere, you are ok.13:19
xnoxBigWhale: as user is in control of their own log files.13:19
seb128well13:19
seb128we do collect such infos with apport13:19
seb128but we try to anonymise things13:19
seb128like username and dirs13:19
seb128BigWhale, do you need the names of the dirs? or only their permissions for example?.13:20
xnoxseb128: but those are not shared outside to people without privacy agreements signed by canonical.13:20
xnox;-)13:20
xnoxmostly.13:20
xnoxBigWhale: does kazam have apport hooks at the moment?13:20
BigWhaleyes, but this is not logged anywhere it is just dumped on the screen.13:21

seb128desrt, anyway it seems we had enough people to have a good decisions and pitti already moved along with the ppa ;-)14:29
desrtbut i don't know if that was any more true than when he usually tells us "you will make your life difficult by not having systemd"14:29
pittihe's right that logind's API doesn't work OOTB without systemd, as it queries cgroups (which we don't manage)14:30
pittiso I added some cheesy hackery; that needs a security review first, too14:30
pittibut I wanted to see first how many obstacles there are14:30

desrtGunnarHj: what can you tell me about the current state of things?  has anyone done any work?16:22
jbichaexcept for the menu split confusion, I think Nautilus 3.6+ is much more usable for average users and I don't think we're really considering forking Nautilus 3.416:23
jbichaanyway, isn't somebody supposed to be doing some qml app thing for that eventually?16:23
mdeslaurjbicha: I disagree, I think the new nautilus is harder to use for most users. Yeah, a new qml file manager would be nice.16:24
GunnarHjdesrt: The switch language-selector -> g-c-c region is postponed. The reason is that g-c-c 3.6 has issues with the im things, so we are basically using g-c-c 3.4 in 13.04. The code for langpack handling hasn't been written yet, since we don't want to base it on 3.4.16:26
desrtGunnarHj: i was thinking that a good way to get around this issue would be to hide/disable/remove the keyboard subtab of the region panel for now16:27
desrtand keep our separate 'keyboard layout' panel16:27
desrtseems weird to have such an easy-to-workaround thing block the more important work of killing l-s16:27
GunnarHjdesrt: Yeah, but the separate keyboard layout is actually the old GNOME tab.16:28
desrti know16:28
desrtwe can keep that status quo for now16:28
GunnarHjdesrt: But the critical thing is to deal with the langpack handling.16:28
desrtya.  we'd need to at least add an 'add/remove' button to open the current dialog that l-s has16:28
RiddellGunnarHj: hi16:28
desrtand probably modify it so that the 'short list' in the UI is not the way that GNOME uses to pick it but rather all installed language packs16:29
GunnarHjdesrt: Yes.16:29
desrtmpt: actually... i just realise that this is sort of a bad idea16:29
GunnarHjRiddell: Hi Jonathan!16:29

seb128jbicha, hey, btw why wouldn't the new document stuff work in 3.8? did they keep breaking more stuff?16:35
seb128mdeslaur, I start pondering going back to nautilus 3.4 as well...16:35
mdeslaurseb128: we could just rename it and use the renamed one in unity, that would allow the gnome folks to get their recent version16:37
seb128mdeslaur, I was reluctant to do that because of16:37
seb1281- things that depends on nautilus >= version16:37
jbichaseb128: they want to use an actual file in ~/Templates for consistency https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=9323d16:37
seb1282- the conflcit16:37
seb1283- the fact that there is a public lib16:38
seb128used by e.g u116:38
seb128if the ABI changes that will make life hard for those16:38
mptdesrt, can you think of a case where you would want to interleave variants of different languages?16:38
seb128jbicha, k, I'm glad we decided to stay on 3.6, avoiding extra issues this cycle (in fact it would have been wiser to stay on 3.4 but it's late for that)16:39
mptdesrt, if not, variants could be rearrangable within expanded branches of a treeview, but most people would just rearrange the overall languages being rearrangable as branches.16:39
desrtmpt: this is starting to sound ugly16:41
desrtit's also evil from a technical standpoint16:41
seb128mdeslaur, we could have both while the lib abi is compatible though16:41
desrtlet's say i'm seb16:41
desrtprobably i want fr_FR16:41
desrtbut not fr_CA and all of the other fr_ things16:42
desrtbut this entire list will end up in my LANGUAGES= variable, by your proposal16:42

seb128mdeslaur, rdepends libnautilus-extension1a?16:42
mdeslaurseb128: thanks16:43
desrthaving a LANGUAGES variable with 17 items in it is ... not good16:43
seb128mdeslaur, those are stuff that either add entries in the nautilus menus, or a tab to the properties, or a submenu16:43
desrt(which, btw, is the number of english variants)16:43
seb128mdeslaur, e.g file-roller add unpack archive stuff16:43
mdeslaurhrm, yeah...that's an important one16:44
marruslhey..  i have a question about old gnome libraries: libgnome-desktop-2-17 and libgnomeprint (and printui).  Can one safely assume they'll at least be in the archives (if not main) for the foreseeable future?16:45
mptdesrt, yes, I'm assuming that if fr_CA is the only fr_ available, that's still better than en16:45
desrtmpt: but in reality, there is 'fr' available always16:46
desrtthe real reason we have fr_FR, fr_CA, fr_BE, fr_CH, and a dozen others is different locale settings16:47
desrtand the occasional translation tweak16:47
desrtbut 'fr.po' is 99% of the time the only one16:47
desrton my system right now i have 242 mo files from 'fr' and not a single one from one of the variants16:49
desrtand no matter which variant i select, it will end up using 'fr'16:49
mptdesrt, so what's the problem then?16:50
desrtmpt: the problem is that, under your proposal there is no way to tell apart user intention of "i want french french followed by canadian french followed by belgian french followed by swiss french followed by..." and "i just want french damnit, why is this expander widget here?"16:51
GunnarHjdesrt, mpt: Your discussion makes me curious.16:53
GunnarHjdesrt, mpt: The GNOME way to make the lists is based on the fact that they have it all installed to start with.16:54
desrtwhich is a remarkably sane way to deal with variants....16:54
GunnarHjdesrt, mpt: In Ubuntu we show the installed langpacks (basically).16:54
GunnarHjI think it's important to not expose the users to long list of locales.16:55
GunnarHjThe purpose with a language list should be to make it possible for users to choose between available _translations_. That's how we currently do it in Ubuntu, and I hope we'll keep doing so after the switch to g-c-c region.16:58
GunnarHjtranslation != langpack != locale16:59
desrtGunnarHj: the problem is that the idea of translation is poorly defined16:59
desrtparticularly in the presence of language packs16:59
GunnarHjdesrt: We have a definition via /usr/share/language-tools/language-options17:01
GunnarHjdesrt: If you run that script, you get the _translations_ on your box.17:01
GunnarHjdesrt: It gives you e.g. en_GB and en_US but not the huge list of English locales.17:03
chrisccoulsoni've decided that anybody who chooses to work on a JS engine is insane17:04
didrockschrisccoulson: oh, that's what the V8 guys are telling :)17:05
GunnarHjdesrt: What was the problem that you and mpt were originally discussing?17:05
chrisccoulsondidrocks, i swear, i'm going to be a V8 expert by the end of the week ;)17:05
didrockschrisccoulson: hum, I watch a lot of V8 videos, I doubt being an expert in a week is possible though :p17:06
chrisccoulsonheh17:06
seb128chrisccoulson, seems like didrocks wants to take over debugging v8 for you? ;-)17:07
chrisccoulsonseb128, hah17:07
chrisccoulsondidrocks, you're more than welcome too ;)17:08
didrockschrisccoulson: only if it's the second step of optimization which is involved!17:08
didrocksI don't care about the first one :p17:08
ogra_seb128, yo .... how much does the desktop team use pandaboards ? TI killed them and we might not get new X drivers so i'm wondering if we could kill the desktop images on them (keeping server for buildd support though)17:10
desrtGunnarHj: i still get a list that's too long17:11
desrten, en_CA, en_AU, en_GB, en_NZ, en_US17:12
chrisccoulsonogra_, i use mine a lot (although, with 12.04)17:13
chrisccoulsoni guess i could live without new images ;)17:13
GunnarHjdesrt: That's because those directories exist in /usr/share/locale-langpack17:13
desrten_US@piglatin17:13
desrtlol.17:13
GunnarHjdesrt: But that's excluded since there is no matching locale.17:14
desrten@shaw17:14
desrtnice.17:14
chrisccoulsondidrocks, it's what comes out of the JIT that i'm debugging ;)17:14
GunnarHjdesrt: If we want a shorter list, I suppose that somebody should reconsider the contents of the English langpack.17:15
chrisccoulsoni've even stopped shaving so that i fit the stereotype17:15
seb128ogra_, hey17:15
desrti think the solution is to have a three-tiered system17:15
seb128ogra_, I'm sure half the team don't use them, especially since we have the nexus which are nice arm builders17:15
desrt"in use on this system" vs. "installed" vs. "can be installed"17:16
didrockschrisccoulson: pfff, first step then, too easy (phew, I'm safe \o/)17:16
seb128ogra_, but some people do (e.g chrisccoulson and qengho to build/debug chromium)17:16
chrisccoulsonseb128, how much storage do these n7's have then?17:16
GunnarHjdesrt: Wouldn't that make it more complicated?17:16
chrisccoulsonif it's 8GB, then i can't use it to build firefox or chrome :/17:16
chrisccoulsonso if people have spare pandaboards............ ;)17:17
desrtGunnarHj: yes and no17:17
ogra_chrisccoulson, not enough for you17:17
desrtGunnarHj: it would make the UI more complicated but also more manageable17:17
ogra_and using USB disks is hard on the n7 because it doesnt charge then17:17
LaneyI use mine for testing17:17
seb128chrisccoulson, keep your pandaboard ;-)17:17
desrtGunnarHj: i don't know how often people are installing language packs, but i'd guess "not a lot"17:17
seb128ogra_, do you need some back?17:17
desrtso maybe we're trying too hard to make that ultra-easy17:18
qenghoogra_, seb128, I have a Pandaboard, but I use Cr Book almost always.17:18
ogra_seb128, nope, but i need to make a decision for rarings panda desktop images17:18
ogra_seb128, it doesnt look like we will get a new PVR driver ... which means no GLES17:18
sabdflogra_, drop pandaboard desktop, if we want a new target, consider exynos17:18
seb128ogra_, well, we don't have the new xorg so we have working drivers?17:18
GunnarHjdesrt: Currently we have a list of langpacks in language-selector for installing those.17:19
chrisccoulsoni could live without a raring image17:19
ogra_sabdfl, yay, awesome !17:19
Laneyright, I wouldn't be sad if there was no desktop17:19
seb128ogra_, +1 with what sabdfl said from me as well17:19
ogra_(though the mali license situation isnt much better)17:19
GunnarHjdesrt: Then we have language lists in a few places to select among available translations.17:19
LaneyI'm mainly using it as a server17:19
seb128we use them mostly as builder/remote machines for debugging17:19
chrisccoulsonbut i'd like to know that a pandaboard alternative was available, should mine die at some point ;)17:19
seb128so we don't need a desktop image17:19
ogra_yeah, i plan to keep the server images anyway17:19
desrtogra_: lima.17:19
ogra_we use the boards as buildds so it makes sense to have a server img around17:19
desrtogra_: plus... seriously... have you see the odroid?  it's awesome.17:20
GunnarHjdesrt: how would "in use on this system" make the picture easier?17:20
desrtGunnarHj: it's somewhat likely that users on a system will speak the same languages as other users on that system17:21
desrtso we can ask accountsservice for a list of languages in use by other users and use it to preseed our own list17:21
chrisccoulsondidrocks, if it's too easy, you're more than welcome to help me debug it :P17:21
ogra_desrt, i'm typing this on a chromebook under a wonderfully running unity ;)17:21
desrtogra_: i'm guessing you're meaning it's not an x86 chromebook :)17:21
ogra_(mali600 with teh proprietary libs copied from chromeos though)17:21
didrockschrisccoulson: pffff, not even a challenge, won't dare… (ok, I should stop jocking or you will take it seriously) ;)17:22
chrisccoulsonheh17:22
GunnarHjdesrt: That would be possible, of course.17:22
GunnarHjdesrt: But that would require both a 'short' and a 'long' list, just as GNOME has it. Personally I think it's desirable to avoid the short/long list approach.17:24
desrtGunnarHj: i think i've made a reasonable argument that any sane way of generating a 'short list' represensitive all installed language packs would always be too long to be user-friendly17:25
GunnarHjdesrt: Not sure I agree, as long as the system admin only installs relevant langpacks.17:26
GunnarHjdesrt: The philosophy is to make all installed _translations_ available to the users.17:27
desrthmm17:28
desrtindeed, the situation is bad for english17:28
desrtbut it doesn't seem to be as bad for some other languages17:28
desrtthe 'fr' langpack for example only brings 'fr'17:28
GunnarHjdesrt: Right.17:29
* desrt checks pt and es17:29
desrtpt brings pt_BR and pt_PT.  not too bad.17:29
desrtokay.  i'm starting to believe you17:29
GunnarHjdesrt: Agreed about English. So maybe we should ask somebody look into the English langpack?17:29
desrtes brings... only 'es'17:30
desrtdespite installing 20 locales17:30
GunnarHjdesrt: Yes, since there is only one Spanish translation.l17:31
* desrt tries zh17:31
desrtonly CN HK and TW there, more or less as expected17:31
* desrt wonders if having 'Chinese (Taiwan)' permanently in the UI for all chinese users may be problematic17:32
GunnarHjdesrt: It's not there if you don't install Chinese (Traditional)17:33
desrtGunnarHj: but then you also lose hong kong17:33
GunnarHjdesrt: True...17:33
desrtanyway...17:33
desrtthese are obviously fairly minor details17:33
desrti have installed language packs for en, fr, es, pt, and both zh and i see only ~10 entries17:34
desrtmore than half of which are english, of course17:34
GunnarHjdesrt: I'm biased, so I certainly tend to defend the current way. ;-)17:34
GunnarHjdesrt: Right, but still managable for the user, isn't it?17:35
desrtyes.  utterly.17:35
desrti expected each of fr, es, pt and zh to be as bad (or worse) than en17:35
desrtthat situation would be bad17:35
GunnarHjdesrt: Agreed. But that's not the case.17:35
desrtindeed17:36
seb128grrrrr firefox17:42
seb128thanks for downloading that iso in /tmp rather than ~/Download17:43
seb128since I rebooted I can restart the hour download...17:43

jbichaseb128: for gcalctool.desktop, I guess we could use session-migration18:20
seb128no18:20
seb128what would you migrate?18:20
seb128custom desktop launchers?18:20
seb128like we would need to grep through the user dir .local configs and do weird changes18:21
jbichaUnity launcher & GNOME Shell favorite18:21
seb128what if I added an icon on my desktop?18:21
jbichamy wife for instance had the calculator pinned to her launcher18:21
seb128or on gnome-panel18:21
seb128or in xfce18:21
jbichawe've done it before, I think when Ubuntu One changed its .desktop18:22
seb128right, and we got burnt by it :p18:22
seb128what's the issue with renaming back the .desktop?18:23
seb128dobey pointed that the rename broke also the calculator keybinding18:23
seb128e.g for those who have a keyboard with that key18:23
jbichaseb128: just convincing GNOME and getting the freeze exception which is definitely still doable18:23
seb128hate renames :-(18:23
jbichawe should have had robert_ancell do it before he turned over maintainership :|18:24
dobeyyeah18:26
seb128he's the one who did the renaming to start18:27
seb128I complained to him about it :p18:27
kenvandinewhat's up with the amd64 builders?18:32

dpmkenvandine, sorry, I was in meetings, and I now have to run. I'll reply on e-mail re: the api docs question18:36
seb128jbicha, I will talk to didrocks about migration, can you come with the magic to migrate gnome-shell's favorites?18:41
GunnarHjseb128: Just a dummy question after all the recent noise: Is 13.04 going to be released as originally planned?18:41
seb128GunnarHj, we don't know, we stick to the plan until decided otherwise18:41
seb128GunnarHj, discussion is still ongoing, I hope we get a conclusion in the next week18:41
GunnarHjseb128: Ok...18:41
jbichaseb128: it should be just as easy as it would be for Unity, but I filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695382 and will try following up with GNOME18:44

desrtricotz: why not strncpy?21:10
* desrt supposes nul termination is handled differently in the overflow case there...21:12
ricotzdesrt, hi, this was suppose to only fix the warning and not changing the logic21:17
desrtfair enough21:17
desrtplus... the nul case is a good argument to leave it as is21:17
desrti forgot that strncpy() totally sucks in this regard21:18

robert_ancellmterry, lightdm "All 147 tests passed". OMG trunk finally passes. I can release :)21:37
mterryrobert_ancell, hah!21:37
mterryrobert_ancell, well, hold on21:38
mterryrobert_ancell, this qt5 branch, do you have an opinion on Dave's comments?21:38
mterryI'd like to squeeze that in if we can21:38
robert_ancellmterry, I think he's right - it would be safer to add a new entry so upgraders don't get caught out21:39
robert_ancellcan you fix it soon?21:39
mterryrobert_ancell, sure21:43
mterryrobert_ancell, I figured upgraders would know that various things need to be changed between qt4 and qt5 (surely the rest of the upgrade won't be no-changes).  But easy enough to add new role21:44
attentein what Makefile does dh_auto_test look for the test/check target?21:44
mterryattente, I think it's buildsystem based.  In the Makefile/autotools buildsystem, it probably just calls make check21:45
robert_ancellmterry, I don't know enough to say but in general it seems safer to add the new role, there's also some precedence for that as noted by David21:45
mterryrobert_ancell, fixing now21:47
attentemterry, so if i have a check target, dh_auto_test should find it automatically?21:47
attentethat's not my experience currently for some reason21:47
mterryattente, if you're using autotools and such21:47
attentethat's the case. but it just echos dh_auto_test without running make check it seems21:50
mterryrobert_ancell, branch updated21:54
robert_ancellmterry, ta21:54
mterryattente, put some echos in your top-level check target?21:55
attentemterry, still not getting called unfortunately21:58
attentei guess i should just override dh_auto_test21:59
robert_ancellmterry, did you see David's comment?21:59
mterryrobert_ancell, grr, ok21:59
mterryrobert_ancell, fixed22:00
robert_ancellmterry, btw, what do you think of lp:~ubuntu-desktop/lightdm/ubuntu? I think it's more effort than it's worth - any opposition to just doing standard uploads?22:02
robert_ancellor just a /debian dir only branch22:03
mterryrobert_ancell, or inline?  :)22:03
robert_ancellmterry, yeah, was thinking about that. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing for lightdm22:04
mterryrobert_ancell, either just debian or standard uploads is fine22:04
mterryrobert_ancell, I have a slight preference for debian/ bzr branches22:04
