davmor2hey guys I have an odd issue, all the album art from my u1 music isn't showing up in nautilus, rb or dash.  This is only for local music according to eyed3 the image is imbedded in the mp3 so I am wondering if it is something that nautilus is striping out some how?11:13

davmor2sorry if that is a reapet I wasn't sure if it got through11:24
seb128it went11:25
seb128nautilus is not modifying any file so that's not it for sure11:25
seb128not sure how the artwork is embedded in the file, maybe gstreamer/whatever is handling that is having an issue with it11:26
davmor2seb128: thanks, eyed3 is listing it like this https://pastebin.canonical.com/88389/  I'm not sure why nautilus isn't showing  it though as far as I know it is in Quantal >  is displaying it just not in the latest raring, this was an install from Tuesdays iso11:31
seb128where was it displayed before? as thumbnail in nautilus?11:32
seb128can you open a bug with an example file attached?11:32
davmor2seb128: in ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/<artist_name>/<album>/  the track.mp3 would show the album art11:36
davmor2seb128: I don't know if I can add a commercial purchased mp3 to a launchpad bug for legal reasons, I can possibly share one with you directly11:37
seb128can you test if the same file was showing previews in quantal (or precise)?11:38
davmor2seb128: I can when I get home11:38
davmor2seb128: I'm co-working today11:39
seb128k, let me know how that works11:39
davmor2seb128: no worries if it shows up in quantal and precise and not in raring I'll open up a bug.11:40
seb128thanks11:40
seb128if you open a bug maybe put a link to a temporary u1 link to download the song11:40
seb128or just share the link in private on IRC11:41
seb128but first I would need a better description of the issue11:41
seb128nautilus doesn't display thumbnails of mp3 with a covert art image here11:41
seb128but I'm not sure it ever did11:41
seb128the dash/rhythmbox show those though11:41
davmor2seb128: right I'll add a load of screenshot of what I see in raring in comparison to what I see  in Quantal/Precise too then.  Along with eyed3 info on tracks.11:48

rsachahi. can anybody tell me something about how the unity launcher retrieves the bookmark information displayed when right-klicking on the nautilus launcher icon?13:19
didrocksrsacha: it's from the .desktop file of the application for the static quicklists13:19
didrocksfor nautilus, it's a dynamic one13:20
didrocksso it's the nautilus process which is exposing its bookmarks13:20
rsachadidrock: what a pity - i hoped it would fetch it from the .gtk-bookmarks file13:20
seb128it sort of does13:21
seb128through nautilus13:21
seb128nautilus reads that file13:21
rsachaseb128, i see.13:21
didrocksin adding to that, it's exposing the default ones, what .gtk-bookmarks wouldn't have13:22
rsachabackground is that we use 12.04 in an ltsp environment and nautilus has to run on the appserver. when it runs on that appserver, no bookmarks are displayed in the nautilus launcher.13:22
rsachais there any way to create a workaround for that scenario?13:23
didrocksI have no knowledge of LTSP, but if you can come with a patch with tests from someone knowing it, that would be great. I think it's a bigger issue with dynamic quicklist and LTSP though13:23
rsachadidrocks, i guess our setup: launcher=local and nautilus=remote is rather exotic and i wonder if it makes sense to create a patch for that :)13:25
didrocksrsacha: indeed, it's quite hackish ;) I doubt you will find a reliable workaround though :)13:26
rsachadidrocks, true. iw onder if it is possible to start a nautilus process locally in "hidden" mode - one that doesn't appear in the launcher and doesn't draw the desktop. that way, the launcher would retrieve the needed information for the remote nautilus from the local nautilus process13:28
didrocksrsacha: that's possible, if you click on the nautilus icon, you have a local version running?13:29
rsachadidrocks, no, we created /usr/local/bin/nautilus which is a script that runs "ltsp-remoteapps nautilus". so everytime we run nautilus it is started remotely. the only way to start it locally is to run /usr/bin/nautilus directly13:33
didrocksrsacha: you probably have issues with bamf matching I guess13:35
rsachadidrocks, uuh-ooh. bamf, never knew that something like that existed :)13:38
didrocksrsacha: right, taht's why I think the support isn't there nor really possible :)13:40

desrtseb128: hey... looks like my suspicion that we would have more breakage caused by my iface-after-init changes uncovered only after the stable release turned out to be true15:42
seb128desrt, gtkmm and mono?15:42
desrtseb128: some c++ and c# apps are broken as a result.  there is a workaround in glib that will be part of .1 but maybe you want to pick the changes in the meantime15:42
seb128desrt, will do, thanks15:43
desrtboth camps agreed to try to have a 'real fix' by next cycle15:43
seb128you basically broke all the bindings but only pitti noticed and got pygobject fixed? ;-)15:44
pittito be fair, desrt pointed out the breakage15:44
pittiI didn't have to discover by accident15:44
pittialthough the test suite would have told me fairly quickly :)15:45
desrtseb128: problem is that neither gtkmm nor gtk# follow the unstable cycle15:45
desrtwhich is fine.... i expected that there would be people who didn't notice until now15:45
desrtthat's why i made the change the way i did15:45
desrteasy to backout and/or add exceptions15:45
seb128right15:45
seb128that still makes me a bit uneasy15:46
desrtit ought to15:46
desrtit makes me uneasy too15:46
desrtbut i'm pretty sure it's the right way15:46
seb128like are we going to find next that the java bindings have the same issue? ;-)15:46
seb128(not sure if anyone uses those)15:46
desrti've stopped caring about supporting weird uses of glib in a 100% compatible way forever15:47
desrtit's far more realistic to be compatible for 99% of the apps out there and have good mechanisms for distros to deal with the 1% cases in a sane way15:47
seb128desrt, do you plan to commit those to https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/log/?h=glib-2-36 as well?15:58
desrtoh.  right15:58
desrtthanks for the obvious reminder :p15:59
seb128yw ;-)15:59
desrtin fact, it's questionable that they should be on master at all15:59
desrtbut i guess people running the development release may as well be without crashes for now :)15:59
seb128yeah, will make binding people happier I think15:59
seb128let them some time to fix their side15:59
desrtcherry-picked and pushed16:00

nikthdidrocks, how about an idea to run an image of Ubuntu for mobile on a PC TV stick such as .. Rikomagic ? Will that be possible at all ? worth to try it ? Thanks16:06
didrocksapt-get_install: yeah, for only touch question, we should migrate to #ubuntu-touch, but it's the kind of questions we don't know yet :)16:06
apt-get_installoh16:06
ogra_apt-get_install, the version you install on your own will ... versions on devices preinstalled by manufacturers will likely not (depends on the manufacturer)16:06
apt-get_installah16:06
apt-get_installlike android then?16:06
ogra_well, carriers and manufacturers often require that16:07
apt-get_installso, you must jailbreak it then16:07
ogra_but if we have a carrier device there will very likely be an ubuntu image you can install yourself on it16:07
apt-get_installI rather download and install it by my own16:07
didrocksnikth: there is a porting guide, if it's running android, it will be really easy (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting). For others, can be a little bit harder ;)16:07
