[00:55] balloons, I saw that the one test failed, so I ran it locally, and it passed. I tried to re-run the jenkins bot, but I don't think it ran. Maybe you could try running it again? [00:55] balloons, I have no idea why the test failed [00:55] iBelieve, sure, let me help you push this through [00:55] I'm just as ready as you to get this in :-p [00:56] iBelieve, there is only one failure, perhaps you missed the link I sent on it [00:56] http://91.189.93.70:8080/job/generic-mediumtests/232/testReport/ubuntu_filemanager_app.tests.test_filemanager/TestFolderListPage/test_copy_file_with_mouse_/? [00:57] balloons, yeah, I saw that. That's the test that I was referring to. [00:57] balloons, I don't understand that error message, especially when that test passes locally for me [00:57] right, so let's look at the test together righ tnow [00:57] the trace is really confusing at first glance [01:00] balloons, if I remember correctly, that same test was failing with the same error awhile back, but then was working again. [01:00] iBelieve, so this is very very similar to the cut.. I would make a note that we could probably function out some of the common code as we go.. makes it easier to maintain and read going forward [01:01] iBelieve, yea, I kicked it off again if that happens to be the case.. which is :-( [01:01] balloons, that would be nice to do. Just made a note to do that [01:03] balloons, I have no idea how dbus connects to the File Manager app, but could it be that the copy operation is blocking dbus from sending a reply to autopilot? [01:03] yea, just that one test fails again [01:04] http://91.189.93.70:8080/job/generic-mediumtests/233/testReport/ubuntu_filemanager_app.tests.test_filemanager/TestFolderListPage/test_copy_file_with_mouse_/? [01:04] so the trace seems to indicate most the test runs [01:05] it seems like the paste happens at least [01:05] how can i develop applications that can be used in ubuntu desktop? | http://askubuntu.com/q/341509 [01:06] iBelieve, what's the u1db dependency btw? [01:07] balloons, I switched settings storage from LocalStorage to U1db. Once the actual settings API lands we'll switch to using that for settings storage. [01:07] iBelieve, since cut works but copy for some odd reason doesn't I would be tempted to pull out the common code from cut and use it in copy to narrow done the issue.. it's definitely not giving us much to work with why it's failing [01:08] it copies and then pastes the file, that's it [01:08] balloons, I'll try pulling the common code into a separate shared function [01:09] iBelieve, k, that should help [01:10] balloons, I need to go now, I'll let you know tomorrow after merging the code [01:10] iBelieve, ok.. if you don't mind I'll keep hacking on it [01:10] if I get it to work, I'll supersede your MP and merge it, ok? [01:13] balloons, that's more than fine with me :) [01:53] nik90, perchance are you about? [06:49] good morning [08:24] Good morning all, happy Be Late For Something Day! :-D === chriadam is now known as chriadam|away [09:05] popey, the other day you showed me the codecs that the gstreamer*-ugly package provided. How can I find out which codecs are provided by a gstreamer package? (the .deb package descriptions are usually no good for those) [09:05] I'm trying to find out which packages we actually need to play mp3 [09:06] dpm: is apt-cache show not sufficient then? [09:06] it tells you what packages it pulls in, and mime types [09:06] apt-cache show gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly | grep mp3 [09:06] shows libmp3lame0 which is the mp3 decoder [09:07] yeah, that looks like it, thanks [09:07] however someone was mentioning on that thread that gstreamer-ffmpeg should be enough and that we probably already install it in the image, but I'm not entirely sure [09:14] so lool, you were saying that gstreamer*-ffmpeg is included in the touch images and apps that use Qt Multimedia (which use gstreamer as the backend) should be able to play mp3 files already? [09:15] dpm: that's the theory [09:15] * dpm tests the theory :) [09:16] * dpm flashes [09:16] dpm: looking again, I see we're seeing gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [09:16] dpm: but most stacks should be using gst 1.0 now [09:17] lool, yeah, but we can't do much for the apps that use Qt Multimedia, it's Qt Multimedia that chooses the gst version to use [09:17] hum [09:17] we shouldn't ship ffmpeg on an official image, those codecs are not free [09:17] (or rather some might have patent issues) [09:17] dpm: ok, confirmed you do need gstreamer-ugly [09:18] dpm: /usr/bin/gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=timpany.mp3 ! mad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink [09:18] that doesn't work until you install -ugly [09:18] WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "mad" [09:18] obviously technically you need libmad [09:19] popey, ah, thanks that was quick! [09:19] try that command with and without -ugly (and libmad0) installed [09:20] (need an mp3 of course) [09:20] yeah, just setting up the image now [09:20] * popey rewards himself with bacon [09:28] popey, what type of bacon is it? Jono? [09:29] eating bacon [09:29] but all bacon is eating bacon to me [09:31] lool, popey so yeah, I can confirm too that the music app only plays mp3 files with gstreamer-0.10-plugins ugly (it does not with gstreamer-1.0-plugins ugly or gstreamer-0.10-ffmpeg) [09:32] lool, you were suggesting to file a bug to request an autopilot test for the music app for that. I think we'll need that in any case, but I'm not sure how the bug for the Music app would help solving the issue? [09:41] anyway, I replied to the thread now [09:45] dpm: do you know the size of the n4 in units.gu? - see https://plus.google.com/u/0/102664273545395284930/posts/SGNDfvq4Est [09:46] Is there a way to include an image in a TextField? Like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=phone-settings-time-zone-manual.png [09:47] is that what primaryItem is/ [09:47] ? [09:48] popey, I don't know, sorry. I think the only place where we document grid units in relation to devices is here, but that's not directly tied to N4 or the full screen size: http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/devel/ubuntu-13.10/qml/ui-toolkit/resolution-independence.html [09:49] it might be a good askubuntu question :) [09:49] mzanetti: ping [09:49] tmoenicke: pong [09:53] dpm: on it! [09:54] :) [09:55] Laney: yes it is a primary item [09:55] Laney: I use it in the clock app search field [09:55] nik90|Office: ah ok, nice [09:55] is it in the theme [09:55] ?

[09:58] Laney: all core apps ship all icons with the app atm. The mobile icon theme does not work for us properly [09:58] hrm [09:58] Laney: there are 2 bug reports regarding this which I cannot find atm [09:58] ok [09:59] I might leave out doing this until it works [09:59] or that :) [10:05] dpm, popey: gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=hollandemoi.mp3 ! audio/mpeg, mpegversion=1, layer=3 ! ffdec_mp3 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink [10:05] it says it plays, but I get no sound [10:05] but then I rarely get sound out of grouper [10:05] dpm, popey: Now maybe this isn't supported by decodebin/playbin [10:06] lool: do you have -ugly installed? [10:06] popey: no [10:06] ok [10:06] * popey tries [10:06] guys, how can I test an ubuntu touch app with autopilot on my PC? [10:07] ooh! [10:07] that works lool [10:08] i just flashed my phone with latest image, install gstreamer-tools and that command produces audio on my mako [10:08] PaoloRotolo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Testing/Autopilot [10:08] PaoloRotolo, and http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/quality/how-to-write-autopilot-tests/ [10:08] (near the end) [10:08] popey: ok, so it seems we had enough modules without -ugly, but they aren't hooked up properly to playbin [10:08] Thanks! [10:09] dpm: whats the url for app reviews? I'm seeing desktop apps at https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/reviewer/ [10:09] nik90|Office, I think autopilot doesn't work with new Timer's presets. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1220998 [10:09] Launchpad bug 1220998 in Ubuntu Clock App "clock app autopilot tests fail" [Undecided,New] [10:09] you've got a click missing in there [10:09] popey, https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/reviewer/ [10:10] ah [10:10] ta [10:10] np [10:13] PaoloRotolo: I knw :). for some reason they fail on the phone [10:13] PaoloRotolo: the tests pass on the desktop [10:13] popey, dpm: I've checked with gstreamer 1.0, and decodebin doesn't pick up avdec_mp3 either [10:14] popey, dpm: Sounds like we have a range of gstreamer cleanups to do: moving to 1.0, making sure apps use qtmultimedia when possible, making sure the right set of 1.0 packages/codecs are pulled [10:15] So I can't do nothing :( I've only the desktop version. [10:15] lool, where would you suggest to track this? It's critical for the Music app (and any other multimedia apps) to work before release [10:16] dpm: Yes, I was thinking about that actually [10:16] and also thinking I ought to ping Pat [10:16] dpm: Got to go for lunch [10:16] dpm: maybe a plain Ubuntu bug [10:16] ok, let's follow up later, thanks lool [10:18] PaoloRotolo: np [10:19] PaoloRotolo: btw thnx for your help with the clock app. You have fixed over 5 bugs in 2-3 days alone :) [10:19] nik90|Office, no problem, It's a pleasure for me :) === jo-erlend__ is now known as jo-erlend === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch [10:57] PaoloRotolo: can you take https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197908 [10:57] Launchpad bug 1197908 in Ubuntu Clock App "Timer sometimes does not reset its clock hands after stopping it" [Medium,Confirmed] [10:57] PaoloRotolo: First see if you can reproduce it without your solution and then try your fix by stopping before resetting it === ondra is now known as ondra-lunch === gusch is now known as gusch|lunch [11:28] in Qt5.1, is there any way to set a Qtoolbar as primary-toolbar an style it as the GTK unity's toolbar ?

That was quick [15:02] PaoloRotolo: you might need to consider some points though such as are you going to insert that into a ubuntu shape widget or whether you are going to add an image and add a mouseArea to it. [15:03] PaoloRotolo: I think you can use a normal button which displays only an icon instead of text [15:03] PaoloRotolo: and set the background color of that button to that pinkish tone [15:03] PaoloRotolo: so your icon should essentially comprise of only the 3 white dots [15:04] PaoloRotolo: on a transparent background [15:04] PaoloRotolo: but anyways let me let you implement it :) [15:05] nik90|Office, if you insist, I'll mail you the .svg ;) What about the edges of the button? They're "half rounded" [15:06] PaoloRotolo: As long as the implementation follows the design specs closely, I am fine [15:06] PaoloRotolo: I think we can ignore the edges of the button for now [15:07] PaoloRotolo: Give it a shot and let me know if it comes close to design mockup [15:08] nik90|Office, the apps will be tested on pc or phones?

[16:44] Hi, what is the trick to be able to swipe page left and right? (Ubuntu SDK, QML) [16:46] bfiller: I now have a fix for #1205097 [16:48] bfiller: ted is reviewing it. [16:48] what path should i use for the icon? [16:49] nik90_, I added also an "reset" animation of the timer's hands. [16:50] bfiller: btw, while debugging the HUD issue I noticed we have apps still using the "old" HUD API [16:50] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6067176/ [16:50] those must be updated to use the new Unity Action API. [16:51] otherwise using UITK.MainView and pages will "break" the HUD searches [16:51] PaoloRotolo: wonderful [16:51] PaoloRotolo, \o/ [16:51] PaoloRotolo: do you have a branch I can test? [16:51] bfiller: should I file a bug against each of the apps or would one catchall be enough? [16:51] I should have time next week to patch the apps myself [16:51] nik90_, yep, here my mp: https://code.launchpad.net/~paolorotolo/ubuntu-clock-app/fix-for-1197908/+merge/184143 [16:52] Ciao WebbyIT :D [16:53] PaoloRotolo: can you explain the logic behind your code? [16:54] nik90_, I tried to stop all the animations in the app, but it doesn't work [16:55] so I created a timer and I added an animation after 200 msec. from the reset() [16:56] PaoloRotolo: so your new timer will start and then stop the animation. [16:56] So, reset will stop the timer (the big timer) and my timer will reset the hands after 200 msec, when all the animations are finished [16:56] bfiller: oh, actually. I can file just one bug report and target it to all the apps (projects) [16:56] nik90_, yes, start the animation, set the hands to "0" and stop the animation [16:56] PaoloRotolo: In that case, shouldn't you be calling reset_timer.start() instead of restart()? [16:57] PaoloRotolo: since your timer will be called once to stop the animation and then it does its job and is done with. [16:58] nik90_, ok, i'll fix it :P [17:00] mhall119, is it possible today to add a new master scope? like so that we can get a new lens [17:01] nik90_, pushed. BTW, my fix works with you? [17:01] PaoloRotolo: testing it now [17:01] cwayne_, no it's not. But you can add any scope to the dconf key com.canonical.unity.dash and it will appear as a lens. [17:01] PaoloRotolo: I just approved your other branch [17:02] nik90_, ty [17:02] davidcalle_, ah, where would the icon be defined? [17:03] cwayne_, in your scopename.scope file in /usr/share/unity/scopes, you can set an "Icon" field. [17:04] davidcalle_, ah, wonderful thank you. and this should work already in today's image? [17:05] cwayne_, my bad, you can actually create a master to aggregate scopes, it doesn't seem to be hardcoded anymore. If you look at an existing one (eg /usr/share/unity/scopes/web.scope), it should be pretty explicit. [17:05] cwayne_, yeah, it should work (tm) :) [17:06] davidcalle_, :D [17:06] davidcalle_, and the smart scopes are in the touch image too already, right? [17:07] cwayne_, so, to create a master, just create a .scope file, and a folder named where you'll put the .scope files you want to aggregate. [17:07] cwayne_, I think so [17:09] cwayne_, also, if something doesn't seem to work, you can see specific errors by restarting unity-scope-home and looking at the output [17:09] davidcalle_, awesome, thanks [17:10] cwayne_, np [17:20] Wellark: thanks for the info, was on a call. I was told all of the apps have been converted to use the new API or have MR's in progress [17:20] Wellark: might be that we forgot to drop that depends? what is the new depends? [17:24] bfiller: applications using UITK won't need any additional depends. UITK already handles that [17:25] PaoloRotolo: I merged my branch. You can start on the search button icon now if you want. [17:25] Wellark: so the apps can drop depends on qtdeclarative5-hud1.0 completely then? [17:25] PaoloRotolo: also your timer trick seems to have done the job. I will test it for a few more hours before deciding [17:25] bfiller: and applications that don't use UITK MainView and Pages need to depend on qtdeclarative5-unity-action-plugin [17:25] nik90_, great! [17:26] bfiller: yes, as soon as they drop "import Ubuntu.HUD 1.0" from their code base [17:26] Wellark: great, thanks [17:26] bfiller: I filed the bug anyway [17:26] bfiller: https://bugs.launchpad.net/camera-app/+bug/1221344 [17:26] Launchpad bug 1221344 in webbrowser-app "remove usage of qtdeclarative5-hud1.0 " [Undecided,New] [17:27] Wellark: thanks [17:30] Wellark, bfiller: Which standard app (web browser, gallery, contacts) etc is the best app to take a look at how to add HUD actions? [17:30] I have been meaning to add it to the clock app but cannot find any documentation on it [17:30] nik90: probably browser, pretty sure it's been cutover to use the new action api [17:34] bfiller, nik90_: yeah, seems browser is using the new API already. I just want to point out that if you are using UITK.MainView then you don't have to import Ubuntu.Unity.Action . [17:34] UITK.Action is already derived from it [17:35] only if you need to do manual action context management you need to use the direct API manually [17:35] Wellark, bfiller: thnx. Will take a look at webbrowser [17:35] popey, mhall119 so what time is the File Manager meeting today? I remember we discussed moving it 2 hours earlier (so 1/2 an hour from now) [17:36] Wellark: I am using UITK.action, but I do not see any hud action while testing it on the phone [17:36] nik90_: you can find the documentation for the unity-action-api by installing unity-action-doc package [17:36] iBelieve, I believe (ha!?) your app is now live [17:36] nik90_: you need to assign the actions to MainView.actions or Page.actions [17:36] Wellark: ah okay. But I think it would be better if this doc is integrated to the current sdk docs. [17:37] nik90_: Action {id: myAction1} Action {id: myAction2} [17:37] beuno, just saw that, thank you so much! I'm starting to type out my blog article right now about it :) [17:37] nik90_: MainView.actions: [myAction1, myAction2] [17:37] Wellark: here is how it is currently done http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-clock-dev/ubuntu-clock-app/trunk/view/head:/clock/ClockPage.qml [17:37] guys I am trying to use Unity.Actions in my app but it does not work even if you are suggesting to deprecate Ubuntu.Components.HUD...here is my code http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6067328/ [17:38] Wellark: and yes I havent connected it yet to the MainView actions. But then my toolbar actions are in a different page and hence different qml file. Can MainView action see those toolbar actions? === mefrio is now known as mefrio|afk [17:39] iBelieve: yes, in 20 mins from now [17:39] nik90_: there are two sets of actions [17:39] popey, okay, thanks for the info [17:39] nik90_: ones that are "global" to the app and ones that are "local" to the page [17:40] so, if you have some actions that do the same thing no matter on which page they are then you add these to the MainView.actions [17:40] Wellark: that makes sense [17:40] Wellark: I installed the doc package. Where does it store its files? [17:40] and the page local actions go to Page.actions [17:40] and each time the page is changed the list of available actions in the hud is updated automatically [17:41] Wellark: thnx. It is so much clearer now [17:41] nik90_: if I remember correctly it's /usr/share/docs/unity-action-api/ [17:41] nik90_: you can see where the files are installed by: $ dpkg-query -L [17:42] nik90_: one note though. currently the HUD integration does not work on the desktop [17:42] awesome [17:42] for various technical reasons [17:42] Wellark: okay. I can test it on the phone [17:43] and when you are testing on the phone you need to set $APP_ID environment variable [17:43] nik90_: so if your application has clock-app.desktop [17:43] Wellark: Is this done automatically atleast when the app is installed? [17:44] nik90_: to be honest, I'm not completely sure if it's implemented right now [17:44] when starting apps from the launcher or the applense the system should set the env variable automatically [17:44] but if you are running from terminal then you have to set it yourself at the time being [17:44] Wellark: okay. Do you know how to set the app-id environment manually to test a development branch using qtcreator? [17:45] so I use qtcreator to push the app on phone [17:46] nik90_: qtcreator should do the right thing [17:46] or otherwise we have a bug :) [17:46] Wellark: awesome [17:47] Wellark: one last question, do you know the link for the launchpad project for the qml hud to report bugs? [17:47] Wellark: nvr mind, the docs had the link in the index page [17:47] nik90_: if you find any problems with the hud just file them against lp:hud [17:48] okay [17:48] iBelieve, so [17:48] iBelieve, there's a bug in your app [17:48] iBelieve, you're calling /usr/bin/qmlscene $@ tasks-app.qml [17:48] nik90_: unity-action-api is also fine. we can always move the bug to another project if necessary :) [17:49] iBelieve, that absolute path is wrong [17:49] iBelieve, you should leave the sdk's default, and use that in the .desktop file [17:49] Wellark: okay. Thnx a lot for your help [17:49] nik90_: np. :) [17:50] beuno, where do I have that? And what should it be instead? [17:50] beuno,thta's a bug in qtcreator -- it creates that .desktop automatically [17:50] nik90_: oh, and btw. It's a matter of taste, but I would create the Action {} objects standalone as direct childrens of the Page or MainView and then assosiate them to different places by id [17:51] iBelieve, remove that file, and in the Exec line of the .desktop file, use: qmlscene $@ tasks-app.qml [17:52] Wellark: yes I have noticed that in some other apps as well. I will do that for the clock app as it seems to be the "official way" [17:52] beuno, Remove what file? Do you mean remove the /usr/bin/ part from the Exec line? [17:53] iBelieve, remove /ubuntu-tasks [17:53] that just calls qmlscene [17:53] instead [17:53] call qmlscene from the Exec line in the .desktop file [17:54] beuno, oh, okay. I get it. I'll upload a new version right away. Thanks for noticing that [17:54] anyone know what i should put in the Icon line of the .desktop file? aren't we not supposed to assume any absolute path? [17:54] iBelieve, thanks! [17:55] beuno, while I'm doing that, what should my Icon line be? (noticing cwayne_'s question) [17:57] iBelieve, youricon.png [17:57] so ubuntu-tasks.png? [17:57]
