mhr3seb128, my compiz crashes08:05
seb128good morning desktopers08:05
seb128hey Laney mhr308:05
Laneyhaha08:05
seb128mhr3, you are pinging the wrong guys, try bregma or Trevinho or ...?08:05
Laneynow that's a good welcome08:05
seb128mhr3, what's the stacktrace?08:05
mhr3seb128, it's schema related, thought you'd know about it08:05

mhr37.1.1+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu108:07
seb128hum08:07
seb128mhr3, compiz version?08:07
mhr3i'm running dist-upgrade as we speak, not sure this was the ver that crashed08:07
mhr31:0.9.10+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu108:07
mhr3compiz ^08:08
seb128mhr3, do you have an apport file for the segfault?08:08
seb128well abort() rather08:08
mhr3seb128, well, it's the schema thing08:09
mhr3oh you want the ver from there08:09
mhr3let me check08:09
seb128mhr3, yeah, I just want you to grep for unity.so in the procmaps08:09
seb128mhr3, no, I want to make sure you are using the unity plugin from the package and not a local build08:09
mhr3/usr/lib/compiz/libunityshell.so08:10
seb128:-(08:10
* Laney looks at https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/update-manager/lp120077508:10
mhr3dist-upgrade finished, let's see08:10
Laneymvo saving the day08:11
seb128mvo, thanks for the fix there ;-)08:11
seb128Laney, yeah, I gentled pinged him yesterday evening and being mvo he had a look ;-)08:11
mhr3seb128, still crashes :(08:11
Laneyyeah I saw08:11
Laney\o/08:11
seb128mhr3, OH08:12
seb128mhr3, can you grep for schemas in the procmaps?08:12
seb128mhr3, I wonder if you have a buggy/outdated schemas in /usr/local or something08:12
seb128though that doesn't make sense08:13
mhr3seb128, you mean in the crash file?08:13
seb128mhr3, well, apport-unpack it in a dir and go look at ProcMaps08:13
seb128mhr3, the unpack command is going to give you a directory with the dump and a bunch of text files, including the procmaps info08:14
mhr3yea, got it, i can't see anything from /usr/local08:14
seb128nor from your user dir?08:14
mhr3just mime.cache and dconf08:15
mvoLaney, seb128: my pleasure08:15
seb128mhr3, I don't get it, grepping for alt-tab-right in the current compiz and unity source returns no match (only some .convert files)08:15
seb128mvo, hey, wie gehts? ;-)08:16
seb128mvo, when do you come back working with us, we miss you here! ;-)08:16
seb128mhr3, can you share the .crash?08:17
mhr3sure08:17
mhr3seb128, http://ubuntuone.com/3xCpBN7ikkmgORyG1x2aDP08:17
mhr3seb128, i see reference to it in my old unity builddir, but yea the current source has it only in the .convert files08:20
mhr3still, it the key isn't there, isn't the conversion going to blow up?08:21
mhr3s/it/if/08:21
seb128mhr3, it is, but the conversion should be done by gsettings-schema-convert not compiz...08:21
seb128mhr3, well, try deleting the .convert in case that's the issue08:21
mhr3hmm, odd08:21
seb128mhr3, well, try deleting the .convert in case that's the issue, /usr/lib/compiz/migration/compiz-*.convert08:22
mhr3seb128, nope, still crashes :/08:23
seb128mhr3, can you get a debug stacktrace?08:23
mhr3seb128, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6212851/08:28
mhr3good enough or do you want more symbols?08:28
seb128mhr3, good enough to get an idea that the issue is compiz ... I guess it's specific to your user?08:29
mhr3seb128, i'd love to check, but i don't have indicators to switch to guest :P08:30
mhr3will log out and see, but need to jump into our standup08:30
seb128mhr3, it started today though? did you do changes to your compiz config recently?08:30
seb128mhr3, ok08:30
mhr3seb128, yes, started today08:31
seb128mhr3, it's weird, neither compiz nor unity changed this week08:31
mhr3seb128, i didn't restart for a couple of days08:31
seb128mhr3, but yeah, I've no idea, it looks like compiz is finding a setting and trying to match it to a gsettings key08:32
seb128you should probably try asking somebody who knows how the gsettings backend work there08:33
seb128e.g duflu or maybe bregma/Trevinho/Townsend08:33
* duflu doesn't remember compiz gsettings. But does recall lots of pain and screaming.08:34
seb128duflu, hey08:34
seb128duflu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6212851/ is the issue mhr3 is having, it ends up trying to get the value of a gsettings key that doesn't exist anymore ... do you know where compiz gets its canonical "list of keys"?08:34
seb128pitti, hey, wie gehts?08:37
seb128pitti, I commented on that libnotify's bug, let me know if I'm overlooking something08:38
pittiseb128: bonjour08:38
pittiseb128: just saw; indeed, you're right (wrt. exposing the API in Ubuntu)08:39
pittiABI08:39
pittiwell, for pygobject it's really API, but nevermind08:39
seb128pitti, what do you think about renaming the binary for a proper transition?08:39
pittiseb128: but that again breaks compatibility with third-party packages?08:39
seb128pitti, that's what happens when incompatible api changes are done08:40
pittiif that's the current upstream version, it should have the upstream API IMHO, especially as the old one is actually broken08:40
seb128pitti, you can't win, half the world is going to use the old API still08:40
pittiI know, but at least the direction will be towards the new one08:40
seb128I would argue that, since the change is recent, more code out there is still using the old API08:40
pittiwe can only really do a code grep for that (from Python)08:41
dufluseb128: Could not remember, but found it... /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.*08:41
seb128duflu, thanks08:41
seb128mhr3, can your "grep alt-tab-right /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.*" ?08:41
seb128pitti, well, we can archive grep but that doesn't solve the 3rd party problem08:42
pittiif we rename the binary, it'll break those even more (including consumers of the C API)08:43
seb128pitti, in any case I suggest we do take on doing the transition next cycle, it's late to do that for saucy at this point, and since the new api didn't get released in any distribution yet I doubt many 3rd party ported their code to make it incompatible with what 95% of their users are running08:43
dufluseb128: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.compiz.unityshell.gschema.xml:    <key type="s" name="alt-tab-right">08:43
pittiseb128: sounds good08:43
dufluseb128: Exists on raring, not saucy08:43
seb128pitti, great08:43
seb128pitti, (I was suggesting renaming the gir, not the lib)08:44
pittiah, not sure whether that'd help; I don't know any software which actually bothers to check the gir version except for gtk 2/308:44
seb128pitti, and only the Ubuntu binary, e.g gir1.2-notify-0.7.108:44
seb128or something08:44
pittiseb128: I think in that case we should rather ship an override08:45
seb128duflu, right, but mhr3 is having the issue on current saucy, which puzzles me08:45
pittiwhich calls the new API and falls back to the old08:45
seb128pitti, that would allow the old number argument to work rather than hit an exception?08:45
dufluseb128: The issue is surely _because_ the key no longer exists on saucy?08:45
pittithe override would catch the exception and call the old API08:45
seb128duflu, well, the key is not used in the code so it should be fine to not have it in the schemas?08:46
* duflu shrugs08:46
seb128duflu, I grepped compiz and unity trunk, no mention of "alt-tab-right" (out of a .convert)08:46
seb128neither in the saucy sources08:46
dufluCould be leftover config from an upgrade and gsettings is hitting it (not Unity)08:46
seb128duflu, right, thanks for the help, I was not sure why the code was hitting an assert trying to read a key which is not mentioned in the source08:47
seb128duflu, the missing piece was "it gets its list of key from the schemas"08:47
mlankhor1toh i forgot to say good morning to all :)08:53
mhr3seb128, so, yea guest works fine :/09:09
seb128mhr3, you have a schemas or config somewhere that lists that key...09:10
seb128mhr3, grep "alt-tab-right" ~/.config -r ?09:10
mhr3where though... thats the question09:10
mhr3~/.config/compiz-1/gsettings/schemas/org.compiz.unityshell.gschema.xml:09:11
mhr3hmmm09:11
seb128mhr3, delete it and be happy?09:13
mhr3didn't help :/09:13
seb128:-(09:14
seb128mhr3, strace -f compiz 2>&1 | grep schemas > telluswhatyouareloading09:14
mhr3seb128, any idea how  to reset that schema?09:14
mhr3i never remember it for the relocatable ones09:15
seb128gsettings reset org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ active-plugins09:16
seb128mhr3, ^ I've that in my irc logs09:16
seb128so "org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/" I guess09:16
seb128mhr3, "gsettings list-recursively org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/core/ | grep alt-tab-right" ?09:16
seb128mhr3, org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/09:18
mhr3seb128, nothing, yet it still crashes09:18
seb128rather09:18
seb128mhr3, I gave you the wrong one before09:18
seb128^09:18
mhr3seb128, not there either :/09:18
seb128mhr3, did you try the strace?09:19
seb128not sure if you saw the command I just gave some lines up09:20
seb128before you asked about the reset09:20
mhr3not much there really, just opening them from /usr/share/glib...09:21
seb128which doesn't mention "alt-tab-right" at all?09:22
mhr3seb128, well it's compiled09:22
mhr3oh.. not that much compiled... but no, no alt-tab-right09:23
seb128mhr3, the gschemas db is compiled yes, but compiz doesn't read that config apparently, it reads the .schemas to compute the keys list09:23
mhr3i'll restart, maybe that will finally refresh everything09:24
mhr3seb128, :'-(09:27
mhr3i want my desktop back09:27
mptseb128, I haven't used any headers in the System Settings designs.09:28
seb128mhr3, grep "alt-tab-right" / -r09:28
seb128mpt, well, jouni and matt say that the section titles should be header widgets09:28
mhr3you want to kill my laptop, don't you?09:28
seb128mhr3, don't you have a ssd drive? ;-)09:29
mhr3seb128, i do, and ubuntu doesn't use it :/09:29
seb128mhr3, well, I've no better idea, you can strace -f -e stat compiz 2>&1 | grep mhr3 or local or stuff09:30
mptseb128, then they're mistaken. :-) They are often the beginning of sentences that the following labels complete, and it would be weird to use different font styles for the beginning and end of the same sentence.09:30
seb128to see what it reads in non standard location09:30
seb128mpt, I opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1236804 also09:30
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1236804 in ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) "shouldn't use colon in section titles" [Low,Confirmed]09:30
mptok09:31
seb128mpt, well, at least in the visual (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=phone-about.mockup.png) they have different colors for those titles09:31
seb128mpt, which doesn't happen if we use a Standard element09:31
seb128mpt, we discussed it for a while here yesterday and decided to not change anything for v1, we still have bug fixes and you guys don't agree09:31
mptseb128, yeah, it's fine just there, but for example in Time & Date where you have "Set the time: Automatically / Manually", it makes less sense09:31
seb128mpt, did you see http://ubuntuone.com/1DapfTL5unqLohs7hTQAqv09:32
seb128mpt, it's some playing around, they want also the rounded version of the selector in the UIs09:32
mptseb128, yes. Three different left text margins on one screen! Wow.09:33
seb128mpt, yeah, they ideally wanted the right version without the divider line before the selector09:34
seb128but that's a bit hackish and the Header elements don't allow to hide the divider09:34
seb128mpt, in any case it would be nice if you could sort it out and come to an agreement with them about header/no header issue09:35
seb128mpt, I think their main concern is that, currently, the titles and elements have the exact same style, which makes the UI a bit less easy to "parse"09:35
mptYes, it's tied in with the (lack of) styling for interactive elements09:36
seb128mpt, do you want me to open a bug about the header topic so we can track the issue/have the discussion there?09:37
mptseb128, I think it's the same bug ... If they were headers then they shouldn't have colons09:37
seb128mpt, ok, that's sort of what I though ... so good, let's keep that one ;-)09:38
mptseb128, that rightmost image in <http://ubuntuone.com/1DapfTL5unqLohs7hTQAqv> reminds me of <http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/62180500498> ... Pick one indentation and stick to it. :-)09:40
seb128hehe09:40
seb128mpt, well, thing is that we got a special version of the optionselector to use in lists (that's what we use atm), but they don't like it ... and the standalone version if not really made to be used there so it's not aligned with other elements09:41
xnoxmpt: seb128: I see 5 indentation levels in the right-most one?!09:41
seb128but that optionselector problem is another one09:41
xnox(including Time & Date top level title.)09:42
seb128xnox, it should be 3 "headers: most left, items: middle, selector: most right"09:42
seb128xnox, the top level title is aligned on Europe/Paris09:42
mpt...and mardi09:43
xnoxseb128: maybe I need to check my eye-sight, but "top level title" looks to me a pixel or two mis-aligned from Europe/paris.09:43
seb128xnox, that would be a toolkit bug if that's true09:44
seb128xnox, I don't see it here but maybe you are right, I don't have pixel perfect eyes ;-)09:44
xnoxseb128: or it's the day I find out I am cross-eyed ;-)09:45

mhr3seb128, wooo, compiz runs09:58
LaneyIt could just be that it's not obvious enough when ui elements are interactive09:59
mhr3seb128, now tiny problem, i don't get unity :/09:59
seb128mhr3, what was it?09:59

seb128that's great10:02
seb128it means people are going to stop pinging #ubuntu-desktop about those :p10:03
Laneyhaha, you wish10:03
mhr3lol10:03
sil2100seb128: hello! Can I propose a modification to the ubuntu-touch-settings package? ;) https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/+junk/ubuntu-settings_background10:04
seb128sil2100, that seems wrong, you listed the desktop filename in there?10:05
seb128http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~sil2100/+junk/ubuntu-settings_background/revision/3610:05
sil2100Shiiit10:06
sil2100hehe, oh my10:06
sil2100That's what I get for testing on my phone10:06
sil2100hm, and this didn't happen for the first time, need to start paying attention10:06
Laneydoes that mean the form factor detection in unity8 gets to go away?10:07
Laneyfor background10:07
sil2100Laney: it can stay, but I guess it doesn't make much sense - as the two backgrounds they are providing are the same one, but the phone version is just a cropped version of the phone one - when we use the tablet picture and let unity8 do the cropping, actually it crops to almost the same background10:08
sil2100Laney: I guess that when we ask design to provide a real form-factor neutral background then it will be even better10:08
Laneyyep, if that's true then you might be able to remove it10:08
Laneythen everyone can use the same fallback stuff just by referring to gsettings10:09
Laneywhich would be nice10:09
sil2100Indeed!10:09
sil2100seb128: I re-pushed the branch but corrected now10:12
sil2100seb128: pointing to /usr/share/unity8/graphics/tablet_background.jpg10:12
seb128sil2100, Laney: I feel that we should use the phone background, since we only target the n4 for v110:18
seb128it seems logic to default to what should be used on the form factor10:18
sil2100seb128: right, but as mentioned earlier (at least on surfaceflinger) when unity8 does the wallpaper cropping of the tablet wallpaper, it crops it the same way as the phone wallpaper looks like10:22
LaneyI'm not bothered, but if it ends up looking the same then it's less work to just do that10:22
seb128exactly the same way?10:22
seb128I've learnt to not trust myself looking at images or pixels10:23
seb128when it seems fine to me, others see bending, or compression, or not pixel perfect10:23
seb128e.g the wallpapers we ship seem fine to me but some people complain they look wrong10:23
sil2100seb128: I'm checking that in gimp now10:25
sil2100seb128: and there are slight differences - it's the same image, the same cropping but brightnes/contrast seem to be modified a bit, as tablet BG is darker10:26
sil2100seb128: I was worried on using phone, as even though we only target phone for v1, the wallpaper ran on a tablet will look terrible then10:27
seb128sil2100, I wonder if we should try to change it for v1...10:27
sil2100Since there's no way of having a good backdrop when using a 450px wide image on a tablet-wide screen10:27
seb128sil2100, btw did you get feedback from mpt on the "reset image button"?10:27
mptReset image button?10:28
sil2100seb128: not yet, no movement on the bug, but since mpt is around here ;)10:28

sil2100'Revert to default' or such10:29
mptSo #ubuntu-desktop is where we talk about everything relating to Ubuntu Touch10:29
Laneyhaha10:29
sil2100mpt: no no, this was just something that popped up during our desktop-schema related talk ;p10:30
Laneyit's where the desktop team, hijacked to work on touch, chats :-)10:30
seb128mpt, we tend to do that, part is habits, part is that -touch can be really busy at times which makes impossible to have a conversation10:30
seb128but yeah, we should probably should use -touch a bit more10:31
sil2100My bad!10:31
mptsil2100, sorry, I don't know what either the current code or your proposal looks like. Could you link a screenshot?10:32

happyaronseb128: as far as I see, the most recent update of language packs are for base pack, not full pack. the base pack contains quite little stuff.13:24
seb128happyaron, I think we should have a full export for release, I guess tomorrow's one should be that set13:24
happyaronseb128: sure, and kylin people asked whether we are able to help on it and they can know who to ask for updating langpacks at least.13:25

seb128larsu, no, it's not upstart, and no, gnome-session doesn't do that to what is running18:45
seb128larsu, gnome-session basically exit, which makes stuff it spawned exit, and most of stuff just go down when xorg and dbus exit18:45
seb128larsu, but yeah, that issue is not new, we had it with e-d-s gvfs and other stuff for ever18:46
seb128the only thing gnome-session does is to use the xorg libsm (or whatever it's called) to tell software that the session is ending18:47

seb128larsu, nothing, that's the issue18:49

seb128larsu, or they use the libsm stuff and respond to session closing by exiting18:50

desrt - processes die because they're unhappy that X went away18:54
desrt - processes die because they're unhappy that dbus went away18:54
desrtthere is no implicit killing of processes by the kernel just because gnome-session died18:54
desrtand it's currently quite easy for a process to remain around after the session quits just by backgrounding itself and not exiting when dbus dies18:55
larsuhm, looks indicator-sound stops when the bus goes away...18:56
larsudesrt: thanks18:56
seb128larsu, that's basically what I was saying...18:58
desrtseb128: fun thread on gtk-devel right now, if you want to pile on...18:58
seb128desrt, "Removal of icons in buttons/menus"?18:59
desrtya18:59
larsuseb128: no, I'm saying it does stop. It quits its main loop as soo as it loses the bus name18:59
larsuwhich happens when the connection dies, too18:59
seb128desrt, looking at who commited... not surprised18:59
larsudidn't we remove those a long time ago?19:00
seb128desrt, well, anyway, those are one of the reason I want to stay on 3.8 a bit longer19:00
desrtseb128: if this is our reason for not taking new gtk versions, maybe you should say as much19:00
desrtto the list, not to me.19:00
seb128desrt, well, I feel like that if that's their choices/way to go, it's their call19:00
larsuah, the _option_ got removed19:01
seb128desrt, but I want to avoid to controversy for the LTS and have a longer cycle to deal with the side effects/complains19:01
desrtseb128: and it's your call as to which gtk version we ship.  providing rationale for our decision-making to the upstream is just an FYI.19:01
seb128desrt, yeah, I'm going to reply tomorrow, let's wait a bit for thing to settle/think about how to write it19:02
seb128larsu, https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/log/?qt=grep&q=Deprecate+and+ignore19:03
seb128larsu, do you see some name coming often in there?19:03
larsuseb128: lol!19:04
seb128larsu, ;-)19:06
desrtbe nice19:06
seb128yeah19:10
seb128larsu, btw since you are around, what's the status on the "don't display a sound notfication when using the hardware buttons on touch"?19:11
seb128larsu, that keeps coming back my way, I would appreciate if there is a merge request up this week19:11
larsuseb128: I have a fix in https://code.launchpad.net/~larsu/indicator-sound/volume-action-activation19:13
larsuseb128: but it breaks the volume slider on the phone (not on the desktop though)19:13
seb128larsu, yeah, I pointed that out on the bug, but it's not proposed so "not ready to land"19:14
seb128oh? why?19:14
larsuseb128: I don't know... that's why I haven't MRed it yet. I've asked dednick to have a look. If he doesn't have time and I can't find it tomorrow, I'll fix it differently.19:14
larsuseb128: I'll have a fix by tomorrow evening in any case. It will need a small patch to unity8 as well19:15
seb128larsu, can't we just make that code be called only in the desktop profile? (</naive question>)19:16
larsuseb128: sadly no, the same actions are used on both. I've fixed it now by overloading an existing action, but I can also just add a new one for the phone19:18
larsuseb128: which feels hacky, but will be my "other" fix if I can't figure the right one out19:19
dednicklarsu: did you get my comments from earlier about unitymenumodel?19:25
larsudednick: I don't think so - there were a lot of pings, I might have missed some further up19:27
dednicklarsu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6213854/19:27
dednickaction_target and parameter_type need to be the same.19:27
dednickotherwise we dont even fetch the state.19:28
bigonpitti: hey, do you still have any plans to do an upload for libgphoto2 in debian?19:29
larsudednick: ah cool, thanks! I totally didn't think about that19:29
larsudednick: "this is not a standard menu item, so target doesn't apply". I thought wrong I guess...19:29
larsuseb128: ^^ I'll have a fix tomorrow. Gotta pack and sleep now :)19:30
seb128larsu, have a good night and safe trip tomorrow!19:30
dednicklarsu: :) cool. cya19:30
seb128larsu, when do you leave/flight?19:30
larsuseb128: I leave at ~4:30 for a 6:40 flight19:32
larsuam :(19:32
larsuwill be in Montral (via Brussels) at 12:3019:33
larsu*Montréal19:33
ogra_at least you leave that crappy weather behind19:33
* bigon also goes to Montréal19:33
larsuogra_: yes!19:34
larsubigon: awesome!19:34
larsuMontreal summit as well?19:34
bigonyes, I just bought my plane tickets an hour ago19:34
bigonyes + visit some friends19:34
bigonfrom Friday to the next Friday19:35
larsuhow spontaneous :)19:35
larsucool, we'll be there for the full week as well19:35
bigonwell I was thinking about this for some times now19:36
bigonI really need to be away from work for some days :p19:37
seb128larsu, ok, not seeing you tomorrow morning then!19:37
seb128larsu, have a safe flight, and good luck trying to sleep/get up so early19:37
larsuseb128: thanks!19:37
larsuseb128: I'll check in from Brussels, but that will be ~8:30 or so19:38
larsumight be a bit early still :)19:38
seb128larsu, yeah, for sure19:38
* bigon is doing BRU -> CDG -> YUL19:39
larsubigon: ha, too bad, we could have been on the same flight (I'm TXL->BRU->YUL)19:40
larsubut I guess that probably wasn't available / expensive at this time19:40
larsuanyway, I'm off. See you!19:40
seb128larsu, night!19:41
attenteseb128, you said the language switching worked for you on the device?19:57
seb128attente, yes19:58
seb128attente, we seeded some langpacks, that works for those (well, after rebooting)19:58
attentei'm getting authentication problems19:58
seb128oh?19:58
attente"(process:25873): AccountsService-WARNING **: SetLanguage call failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.PermissionDenied: Not authorized"19:58
seb128how do you run system-settings?19:58
seb128from the device?19:58
attenteyes, as phablet, i do:19:59
attente/usr/bin/system-settings --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/ubuntu-system-settings.desktop --stage_hint=main_stage19:59
seb128attente, how do you get "as phablet"?19:59
attentesu - phablet19:59
seb128hum19:59
seb128let me try19:59
attentehow are you normally running it?20:00
seb128I usually test from the device itself20:00
attenteoh, through the ui?20:00
seb128e.g unlock20:00
seb128click on the icon on the top left20:00
seb128type "settings"20:00
seb128click on the settings icon20:00
seb128yes20:00
Laneyt source accountsservice20:01
Laneyoops20:01
* Laney was trying to secretly get the source to see what the pk action is :P20:01
seb128lol20:01
seb128attente, I can confirm your issue from an adb shell start20:02
seb128attente, if you need debug, you can start from the device and read ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log20:02
seb128that's the process that spawn it and that gets the output20:02
attenteok, thanks seb12820:04
seb128yw:20:04
seb128!20:04
* desrt is not super happy about this seemingly new cool thing to put logs in ~/.cache/20:05
seb128desrt, what would you put it?20:05
desrtnot .cache20:05
desrtmaybe the journal? :)20:05
* seb128 slaps desrt20:06
seb128desrt, I though .cache was "should be fine to wipe out"20:06
seb128which is true for log20:06
desrtno...20:06
desrt(and no...)20:06
desrtthe spec is not very thorough about what it says.  only "user-specific non-essential data"20:07
seb128that matches the logs definition20:07
desrtbut i see it as "data that can be replaced at a cost, either by downloading or recomputing"20:07
desrtie: fitting the more traditional definition of browser cache, thumbnail cache, etc.20:08
seb128that's your understanding of that statement it seems... ;-)20:08
desrtlogs are not "fine to wipe out"20:08
desrtat least not under all circumstances20:09
seb128where would you recommend storing those?20:10
desrti honestly think the journal (or equivalent) is a good answer20:11
seb128the journal is an abstract concept20:11
desrtand i just noticed that the other thing that i hated for doing this (gdm) has indeed started to do that instead20:11
seb128it does store its datas somewhere20:11
seb128you are just shifting the blame20:11
desrtit stores it in /var/log20:11
seb128ok20:11
desrtwhich is, indisputably, where logs belong20:11
seb128so /var/log/<user> would be our call20:12
desrtya.  that would be better, i suppose.20:12
seb128which would work for me...20:12
seb128though I doubt in practice it creates lot of issues20:12
desrti think given that, plus the xdg runtime dir, i could expand my idea of "no dconf writes on login" to "no homedir writes on login" :)20:13
seb128usually most users don't care about lot and they never clear .cache20:13
seb128lot->logs20:13
* desrt cares very deeply about .cache20:13
seb128I said "users" :p20:13
desrtnod20:13
* desrt is being excessively idealistic here20:13
seb128yeah, same as /etc use ;-)20:13
desrtbut i don't like to see things progressing backwards, which we seem to be doing in this case20:13
desrtfor lack of the journal, /var/log/<user>/ would be a neat idea20:14
desrti guess rather /var/log/user/<user>/20:14
desrttime for XDG_LOG_DIR!!20:15
seb128yeah, that would work for me as well20:15
seb128lol20:15
seb128on that note, /me drops offline20:16
seb128have a good night everyone!20:16
desrtseb128: talk to you tomorrow.  good night.20:16
seb128thanks, you too ;-)20:16
