linfenghello all, could I seek help about building xorg-server for ubuntu here? I don't know if it's proper to ask here, but thanks in advance :)04:20
linfengMy problem is that I want to backport a patch for xorg 1.6.4, and rebuild it for exactly ubuntu 9.10. I google for a long time but can't find any guild about this.04:24
linfengWhat I need is the xorg confirue option for u910, it there any website teach me for that? I can't get any useful info even on ubuntu official website :(04:26
linfengHi, is there any guy who is awake can help me?05:52
dpmlinfeng, if you ask your question, perhaps :)06:12
linfengaha, dpm so nice you are :)06:13

dpmlinfeng, I'd recommend asking on the #ubuntu-x IRC channel or on their mailing list. This is a channel for application development as opposed to platform development, and while people would be happy to help you, I don't think we've got any X experts on the current channel. You'll find more info on how to contact the X team here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/SwatTeam06:18
linfengOh, got it. dpm, thank you very much for your help :)06:20

zsombidpm, popey, nik90, nik90_: finally, the Alarm API with EDS integration landed in SDK trunk06:27
dpmzsombi, *\o/*06:28
dpmwhat a nice way to start the day :)06:28
zsombidpm: and I'm updating the other MR which fixes/extends the API so we can get that landed too06:29
dpmzsombi, excellent. Quick question: do you happen to know the status of the discussion with indicators (i.e. how alarms will actually be shown)? I haven't really been following it, and I'd be interested to know how the notifications will happen06:31
zsombidpm: not followed that, Charles hasn't responded on the email, we need to ping tvoss about that06:32
dpmzsombi, let me try to reach to thostr_ later on, as this seems to have to do more with Unity APIs and tvoss is on holiday. Would you be happy to join in a call later on in the morning?06:35
zsombidpm: I'll be away for about 2hs, will leave in ~1h. Not sure whether I can add value to that, I haven't followed notifications at all, as I haven't had  to deal with it...06:36
dpmzsombi, no worries. So that I have more context, how does the alarms API cater for notifications? Is there a signal or some sort of notification to hook into the indicators API?06:38
zsombidpm: alarm has nothing to do with the notifications, it's mor ethe backend who should do the jomm. and in our case it is the QtOrganizer, more precisely the EDS server. Alarms are stored as ToDo entries in EDS, the question is how that triggers the notification. So far I know that part is not yet in place, you should get renato into loop for that.06:40

dpmzsombi, ok, thanks.06:41

timpgusch: do you have a small piece of code that I can use to reproduce this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/122778307:57
guschtimp: sorry no - but simply load a big image (on the desktop you might need to make it bigger than 8192 pixel)07:59
timpgusch: ok, I'll try08:06
timpgusch: the sourceSize is already set to the sourceSize of the input08:07
guschtimp: but it seems when changing the image, it's not08:08
guschtimp: in the settings app I was able to see the selected (big) background, when starting the app again - but not when it was freshly selected08:09
timpok, I'll experiment a bit08:10
timpgusch: the code I pasted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1227783 should expose the bug?08:15
guschtimp: if the image is really big, yes, I think so08:17
timpok, I'll try to make a really big image.08:18

timpgusch: UbuntuShape can also have an image as input08:53
timpah it has08:53
timpthe ses is for the fading??08:54
guschtimp: I don't know thy the UbuntuShape and the Shader is used there09:00
guschtimp: but the shell uses plain CrossFadeImage (well a copy of it at the moment), mzanetti knows more about that09:00
timpgusch: ok, I managed to reproduce the bug without those and a 10K^2 pixels image09:00
mzanettigusch: yeah... I already started a branch where I dropped the copy of shell's crossfadeimage. but always got interrupted before finishing it off so far09:01
timpuntil today I didn't even know we had a CrossfadeImage in UITK09:02
mzanettisame here :)09:05
Laneyyes the ses is for fading09:21
Laneyyou can't (couldn't) put a CrossFadeImage directly in an UbuntuShape09:21
LaneyK aleo helped me with that at the time09:21
timpLaney: you work on system settings?09:36

timpperhaps setting the source size would solve the issue09:37

dpmmorning timp, loicm, I think one of you had a chat with the RSS Reader app guys and you gave them recommendations for how to display UbuntuShape'd articles in the overview grid, and how to have an UbuntuShape displaying an image and another one within displaying a title. We've now got the same situation with the Music app (see the screenshots on the MP), would you mind adding a comment to the MP if you have any recommendations for them, so that they09:42

loicmdpm: hi, is that because you're not satisfied with their current rendering?09:46
loicmdpm: I'll give them the same recommendation I gave the RSS app guys09:47
dpmloicm, I'm happy with whatever makes sense from the SDK point of view. I'm just trying to make sure they follow the same recommendations as the RSS reader guys, so that we're not reimplementing the same thing again. Thanks!09:48

=== _5m0k3 is now known as wellsb
dakerand nothing in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/12:06
wellsbdaker: I just downloaded the picker and picker delegate from source and bundled it in my application as a workaround until the picker lands in the toolkit.  Not sure why it's not there yet12:08
dakerwellsb: look at the changelog https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/0.1.46+13.10.20130916-0ubuntu112:09
dakerand i do have a "Picker" section on gallery12:09
dakerthe*12:09
wellsbzsombi provided this update a few days about about the picker:  there are few things that needs to be there first: 1) CI needs to work again, 2) I don't have tyet the UI confirmed from UX for the components, 3) I got other more urgent things to do first... so expect at least 2 more weeks to get the components...12:11
wellsbmay have been date picker specific, though.  I'd have to check the conversation12:12
zsombiwellsb: Ci works again, Picker tumbler is already in the trunk, Dialer is under review, and I'm working on the date and Time picker API right now12:12
wellsbRight.  I took the picker from trunk to implement my own date picker in the interim12:13
dakerzsombi: will the date & time picker be global ? cause we nee them for the browser too12:14
dakeror just we just need to copy the code ?12:15
zsombidaker: there are going to be in UITK yes12:16
dakerzsombi: perfect12:16
zsombidaker under Ubuntu.Componets.Pickers12:17
wellsbzsombi: For date picker, the model for day number changes based on month.  Right now the pickerstyle says to move to index0 if the model changes.  Will this be fixed?  Right now, I'm just keeping track of the previous value and if the modelchange caused the selectedindex change, I just revert back to the previously assigned value12:18
wellsb(if the selected index is less than the model count, of course)12:19
LaneyIs there a way to ask a Switch (& similar) to not update their 'checked' state when clicked by the user?12:20
zsombiwelolsb let me check...12:21

dakerLaney: a hacky way onclicked : checked: true12:25
dakernot sure if it will works or not12:25
Laneythe last one needs to be an =12:25
Laneyand you can't hardcode true12:26
Laneybut yeah, that probably does work12:26
dakerya12:26
zsombiwellsb: hold on, why do you change the model?12:27
wellsbBecause there's more days in january than in february.  Since you're asking that question, clearly that's not the best approach.  What should I be doing?12:28
zsombiwellsb: is a model changes, the index must be reset to 0 as you don't know whether the previous index would point to the proper position, especially if you don;t have that index anymore in the model12:28
wellsbYeah, I observed that.  I added a bunch of code to handle that issue, but it seems less than ideal12:30
zsombiwellsb: but the question is still unanswered: why would you need to change the model?12:30
wellsbHow would you propose I show 30 days for November and 31 for December in my picker?12:31
zsombiwellsb: depends :) if we must show only the days based on the month (i.e. not graying out the ones which are not selectable) then you're right. But the index can be restored if you keep an internal date which follows the Picker selection12:33
zsombiwellsb: but that will be the way DatePicker will work12:33
wellsbYeah that's how I'm handling it now.  Good to know12:36
zsombiunless I come up with a better solution :)12:40
wellsbFeel free :)12:40
wellsbLike keeping the model at 31, and setting the individual delegate item's visibility based on month12:41
