| xnox | smoser: hallyn_: it does make sense for upstart-file-bridge to ship a job that watches "/" and if "/etc" is created execute initctl reload-configuration. As that job will never be triggered on normal machines, but will be triggered on "overlayfs is bodging inode under our feet" | 21:55 |
| xnox | or hint, you can drop one yourself in the image =) | 21:56 |
| xnox | but you should do that on the base-dir, not in the overlay dif. | 21:56 |

| robert_ancell | mterry, around? | 23:02 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, yeah, hi | 23:02 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, hey, reading bug 1212408. I don't think it can be done without what you proposed in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2011-July/012004.html | 23:03 |
| ubottu | bug 1212408 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "lightdm needs to set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1212408 | 23:03 |
| robert_ancell | Do you know about the bug / did your proposal go anywhere? | 23:03 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, never went anywhere. I recall particular resistance from GNOME people. I got the impression they weren't concerned with the problem space | 23:05 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, I think historically we've patched gnome-session and its .desktop files to add a new key to specify the desktop | 23:06 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, I think the request is to move this up the stack into lightdm, rather than gnome-session | 23:06 |
| mterry | or down the stack anyway | 23:06 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, because now user-upstart is parallel to gnome-session I guess | 23:07 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, ah, I didn't see them in the xsession files, right it would have to be inside gnome-session | 23:07 |
| robert_ancell | yes | 23:07 |
| robert_ancell | request makes sense, just LightDM can't work out the names (http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html) unless they're in the xsession file | 23:07 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, yeah, I think that's still a sensible place for them. But for now, we'd maybe want to prefix X-Ubuntu- or something | 23:07 |
| robert_ancell | yep, agreed | 23:07 |
| robert_ancell | X-LightDM for now I guess | 23:08 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, hey, are you still interested in unity8-greeter-on-the-desktop? I dropped that for now (thought you wanted it for some demo purpose), but I wanted to double check | 23:08 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, not for demo purposes, though I'd like to check it works for phone purposes | 23:09 |
| robert_ancell | thanks | 23:09 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, I have branches to get most of the way on the phone, but got blocked by u-s-c not really being able to switch between greeter/user-sessions. Seems like Mir doesn't register them as sessions (racarr suggested that the lack of the whole nested Mir feature was the problem) | 23:14 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, right, they can't be mir servers, but we can test the greeter as a mir client with a u7 session | 23:15 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, oh I see. You're saying you wanted it on the desktop, as proof of concept for phone? | 23:15 |
| robert_ancell | I was hoping we could test on desktop as that might be easier. But it seem the dependencies make too many phone assumptions. | 23:15 |
| robert_ancell | yes | 23:15 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, yeah, it seems that the unity8 engine that drives unity8-greeter needs qtubuntu stuff that isn't fully there for the desktop | 23:16 |
| robert_ancell | right. That was my conclusion too | 23:16 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, though I talked to ricmm and he said he should be unblocked to land qtubuntu mir stuff into the archive now | 23:17 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, would you be able to review the MP when I add the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP support? Shouldn't be too complex | 23:19 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, OK. Just wanted to make sure you weren't waiting on a deliverable from me | 23:19 |
| mterry | I mean, you'd still like it, but it's not blocking you | 23:19 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, OK | 23:19 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, not blocked | 23:20 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, do I have anything specific blocking you? | 23:20 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, no...? let me review | 23:20 |
| robert_ancell | there's no need to review ;) | 23:20 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, naw | 23:20 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, you're in boston right? | 23:21 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, yeah | 23:21 |
| robert_ancell | mterry, we're (Mir team+QA) in town (Lexington) the week of the 16th Sept - should catch up! | 23:22 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, oh nice! | 23:22 |
| mterry | robert_ancell, yeah | 23:22 |
