elfybrainwash: is that you on LP?14:58
brainwashochosi: when I logout of the xubuntu session, "gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.login1 --object-path /org/freedesktop/login1 --method org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanReboot" resturns returns "('challange',)" instead of "('yes',)"14:58
brainwashochosi: so the restart menu entry won't show up15:00
brainwashelfy: well, it's my LP account, but not my real name15:00
elfythanks - like to know who people are where I can :)15:01
elfyfunnily enough elfy isn't my real name either :D15:01

brainwashochosi: we should add systemd to the list of affected packages, or?15:07
slickymasterknome: never mind, got it solved15:09
ochosibrainwash: thanks for the testing/debugging15:21
brainwashochosi: maybe there is even something wrong with polkit, actually.. I have no clue what I am doing :)15:22
elfywell you're doing more than me - I'd not have a clue how to get that far :)15:23
ochosii pinged robert about it, we'll see what he says15:23
ochosibut if he doesn't get back to me, plz add your info to the bugreport15:23
brainwashmight be interesting to know if lubuntu is affected too15:25
ochosias they use the same greeter etc, i'm pretty sure they're affected as well15:26
brainwashso it's unlikely that xfce4-session is doing some manipulation?15:26
ochosinot sure, i'm waiting for robert's feedback15:26
brainwashok :)15:26
ochosihe's first hunch was that it's a polkit issue15:26
ochosibtw, as long as i'm in my running session, it returns "yes"15:27
brainwashyes15:27
brainwashchecking some polkit stuff at them moment15:27
ochosibrainwash: how do you run the command btw? on a separate VT? if so, from what user?15:32
brainwashochosi: tty115:38
brainwashsame user15:38
ochosihm15:38
ochosiat least when i lock the screen, i get "yes", but the menuitem still isn't there15:38
ochosicurious15:38
brainwashCanShutdown still returns "yes"15:38
brainwashshouldn't the unity greeter be affected too?15:41
ochosipossible15:42
ochosii never use that15:42
ochosibut if you can test it, that'd be great15:42
ochosii'm currently running out of battery15:42
ochosibbabl15:42
brainwashok, later15:42
bluesabreget ready, unity-greeter pulls all of unity15:43
bluesabreand some of those indicators seem to crash out the indicator-plugin15:43
brainwashyea, that would kill my system15:43
brainwashsame for gdm15:44
brainwashbut maybe there is someone in this channel who is running various test installations :)15:46
elfybrainwash: well I would look - but trying to get to tty1 in a vbox doesn't work16:32
ali1234yeah it does16:34
ali1234press right ctrl + f116:34
elfyjust found that :)16:34
brainwashelfy: are you running a copy of lubuntu or default ubuntu in a vm?16:36
brainwashjust curious, if the menu entry for "restart" is only missing when using Xubuntu16:37
brainwash(the lightdm greeter menu entry)16:37
brainwashafter first logout16:38
brainwashit's present when you boot the pc, before graphical login16:38
elfypresent on logout in ubuntu16:39
elfybrainwash: it's a vm - trying to work out how to do gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.login1 --object-path /org/freedesktop/login1 --method org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanReboot when logged out :)16:39
brainwashwell, switch to tty1 and login16:40
elfybrainwash: get challenge from tty116:42
brainwashsame here16:42
brainwashand the value of "CanShutdown" ?16:43
elfygets an error16:44
brainwashuhm, "CanPoweroff"16:44
elfygets yes16:45
brainwashthat's the ubuntu machine?16:45
elfyyep16:45
elfyanything else you want me to check in tty1 - I'll screenshot the errors16:45
brainwashok, pretty strange, that the values are not the same16:45
elfynot the  same as Xubuntu ? or not the same as each other? 16:46
brainwash"challenge" would imply that a multiuser session is running16:46
brainwashsame for Xubuntu16:46
brainwashbut the method to query and evaluate this values might be somewhat different16:47
elfyxubuntu get's different at tty1? 16:47
brainwashno16:47
brainwash:D16:47
elfyand restart is definitely there by the way 16:48
brainwashan easy workaround would be threat "challenge" like "yes"16:48
brainwashand show the restart option when displaying the light gtk greeter16:49
brainwashelfy: thanks for testing :)16:49
elfywelcome 16:49
elfyleast I can do :)16:49
brainwashguess we have to wait for a response from the lightdm expert16:49
elfythat'll not be me :p16:50
elfyI'll leave the vm available for a while before I kill it 16:51
ochosibrainwash: the workaround is no good16:52
ochosithis has to be fixed properly16:52
ochosii'll take a look at how unity-greeter queries for the restart-button16:52
ochosithanks for testing this, guys16:53
elfy:)16:54
ochosielfy: where is the reboot-thingy located in the unity-greeter?16:56
ochosibrainwash: btw, --no-install-recommends and it doesn't pull in unity (the unity-greeter i mean)16:57
ochosibrb16:57
bluesabrenice to know16:57
elfyochosi: in the shutdown menu - same place as ours17:00
ochosiso, even with unity-greeter, the dbus-call results in "challenge"17:18
ochosiinstead of "yes"17:18
ochosibut as they use indicator-session for the shutdown-menu (which we could do as well in xubuntu, btw) and that one seems to have a different way of checking...17:18
elfyochosi: gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.login1 --object-path /org/freedesktop/login1 --method org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanReboot got me 'challenge'17:19
ochosiyes17:19
ochosithat's confirmed now17:19
ochosiand that's the reason why the greeter doesn't show the restart-menuitem17:19
ochosibecause it expects "yes"17:19
elfyyep understood17:20
knomeskellat, thanks for chiming in with bug 1228098, though i kind of wanted to make sure we prepare the bug first, then ask for an ACK (and seems like we have the wonderful mr_pouit to upload those packages for us)18:07

brainwashthe values for <allow_active> differ19:37
brainwashsetting it to "yes" restores the restart menu entry19:38
ochosiindeed19:38
ochosibluesabre: any clue what we should do about that? ^ ask robert again?19:38
ochosibrainwash: could you add that to the bugreport so i can bug robert again?19:40
brainwashochosi: well, you can do it too, won't take any credits from me, because my account is a fake one anyway :)19:42
ochosican do later, now i have to file a FFe19:43
knome(:19:43
brainwashbut damn, I have learned so much about lightdm, systemd/logind and policykit19:44
ochosifeel free to help us with patches then in the greeter ;)19:44
brainwashyea, doing my best :)19:46
ochosiandrzejr: could you at some point do a new release of the indicator-plugin to fix the sound-menu scrolling?19:49
ochosibrainwash: ok, updated the bugreport and subscribed robert_ancell to it20:07
ochosihe can hopefully give us some direction20:07
elfyochosi: which bug is it - I keep losing it :|20:08

ochosiyup20:11
ochosibut we have to spot the bugs and report them one by one...20:11
ochositons of regressions in the 1.7 cycle20:11
ochosithat is really the opposite of careful pushing updates20:11
brainwashbleeding edge =S20:12
ochosiyeah, just not as openly as fedora20:13
brainwashso glad that Ubuntu didn't switch to the rolling release model20:13
ochosiyeah phew20:14
ochosiwell development would happen differently then, hopfully20:14
ochosihopefully20:14
ochosior at least uploading20:14
ochosibrainwash: btw, the bug with the menu will be tackled in greybird20:16
ochosiwe'll keep the menu in the greeter20:16
ochosiwe still have to test whether it happens in other themes too20:16
brainwashlanguage menu?20:16
ochosino, contextmenu20:16

andrzejrbluesabre, which indicators are crashing indicator plugin?22:25
bluesabrenot sure, I kinda tossed out all the ones that came with unity when it started happening22:26
bluesabreI'd say appmenu was probably one culprit22:26
andrzejrbluesable, appmenu does not show up at all here (13.10+gtk3)22:27
andrzejrit kind of works on 13.04, though22:28
bluesabreit showed up for me22:28
bluesabre13.10+gtk322:28
bluesabrebut seemed crashy22:28
ochosii guess appmenu should be blacklisted by default22:28
ochosiit's trouble22:28
bluesabredoes the blacklist currently work?22:28
andrzejryes, blacklist and whitelist22:28
andrzejrbut require panel restart22:28
bluesabreyeah, I'd definitely go ahead and blacklist appmenu, having the menu with the system indicators is silly anyway :)22:29
ochosibluesabre: you can add a second plugin though to the panel22:29
ochosibluesabre: and only show the appmenu there22:29
bluesabreoh22:29
ochosibut still, it's too crashy atm22:29
ochosiwoo, longstanding shimmer-themes bug fixed22:30

ochosibluesabre: btw, if you have an opinion on bug #1226200...22:32
ubottubug 1226200 in shimmer-themes (Ubuntu) "Install/upgrade failure when numix-gtk-theme PPA package present" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/122620022:32
andrzejrochosi, greybird has some usability issues (xfwm4 theme)22:32
ochosiandrzejr: which ones?22:32
andrzejr1px border thickness and low contrast between active/inactive title bar22:32
bluesabreochosi: yup, can't do anything without breaking the themes out on their own22:33
bluesabrewould've been nice if satya/georgi just used our daily ppa22:33
knomeochosi, tbh, the PPA owner should change the directory, not the approved package.22:33
ochosiandrzejr: the border is actually 2px (because of a rendering-bug in Xorg it seems, introduced in 12.10 iirc)22:33
andrzejr(sorry if I have already told you that before)22:33
knomes/approved package/package in the official repositories/22:34
bluesabreah22:34
bluesabre+122:34
ochosiandrzejr: the low contrast between in/active was discussed before and it's not *that* little. anyway, the appropriate thing would be using gtk3's inactive window style...22:34
ochosiknome: feel free to chime in with my last comment then (e.g. use the shimmer-daily ppa) and close as wontfix22:34
ochosi(that was my evil plan when i asked >:D)22:35
bluesabreand satya can add conflicts to shimmer-themes (>= 13.10)22:36

* bluesabre tried to get his xubuntu-to-do list together22:38
bluesabre*tries22:38
ochosiandrzejr: if you have a suggestion for increasing the contrast, lemme know though!22:38
* bluesabre cannot type today22:38
andrzejrochosi, yes, it is better than it used to be but still on the "hard to use" side.22:39
ochosiandrzejr: or post a screenshot22:39
andrzejrochosi, is it possible (feasible) to change gtk colors between active/inactive windows?22:40
ochosiandrzejr: it's possible and implemented in gtk322:40
ochosiandrzejr: the whole inactive window gets dimmed22:40
ochosi(one of the nicer features of gtk3 imo)22:41
bluesabresometimes22:41
bluesabreslows things down tremendously in Ambiance/Radiance since the whole style changes22:41
ochosihm22:41
ochosithat sucks then22:41
bluesabreit should have a label22:42
bluesabre*use sparingly*22:42
andrzejrochosi, I don't see that in 13.10 + Greybird/master22:42
ochosii could never test it because it isn't really integrated in greybird, because in xfce it doesn't make much sense22:42
ochosiandrzejr: ^ ;)22:42
ochosiandrzejr: same with the "dark style" btw, that apps can request22:43
ochosii also don't support that because xfwm4 doesnt22:44
andrzejrochosi, still I would rather have mismatched colors between the title bar and gtk widgets if that had more contrast.22:44
ochosiwell the reason is different for those two features22:44
ochosidark style: xfwm4 doesn't support gtk3 and therefore no dark style22:45
ochosiinactive windows: no gtk3 core in xfce, so it will look incredibly mixed if i add this style for gtk3 apps22:45
ochosii assume that with xfwm4 the plan is to wait until wayland is all over the place and then xfwm4 can simply be scrapped22:46
bluesabrewow22:47
bluesabrethat would be some time away22:47
ochosiwell, isn't the gtk3 port of xfce too?22:48
bluesabreheh22:48
bluesabrefair enough22:48
bluesabrethough technically, I think gtk2 is no longer receiving any updates whatsoever, so its going to start disappearing a bit quicker now22:48
ochosiyeah, but there don't seem to be terrible terrible bugs in it either22:49
andrzejrochosi, fyi, I find Moheli almost perfect. The only thing I would change is having a smooth transition between the title bar and gtk widgets in inactive windows.22:49
ochosiandrzejr: ah, i used to use moheli when i started using xfce!22:50
knomenew ubiquity version is uploaded23:17
bluesabrewoop!23:18

knomewell the beta 2 freeze is on monday23:18
