andrzejrask ofourdan?00:00
ochosiyeah, a direct email might help00:11
andrzejrali1234, reported that cairo issue in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7255100:11
ubottuFreedesktop bug 72551 in xlib backend "X/RENDER error with blend mode operators" [Normal,New]00:11
ali1234hmm i htink i figured it out00:13
ochosiyou did?00:18
ali1234maybe00:20
ali1234i need to write a test program or something00:20
ochosiis notifyd not good enough?00:20
ali1234well it's outside my control00:30
ali1234weirdly, this does not happen with my test program...00:30
ali1234does xfce-notifyd use gtk2 or gtk3?00:30
ali1234maybe it never was a bug in gtk200:31
ochosigtk200:33
ali1234hmmmm00:33
ali1234that gtk patch got reverted anyway00:33
ali1234hmm, that patch is bonkers, actually00:35
ali1234so... xfwm4 must be doing something... silly00:35
ali1234er, i mean the notifyd00:35
ochosiso rather than being a corner-case with xfwm4, it's a bug in notifyd?00:36
ali1234both probably00:38
ali1234this is super confusing00:39
ali1234every window has TAKE_FOCUS00:41
ali1234but for most windows this doesn't cause a problem00:41
ali1234maybe because the client doesn't quit... hmm00:41
ochosiso if i understand you correctly, the focus goes back to the next instead of back to the "previous" window after notifyd exits00:42
ali1234er... kind of, but no00:43
ali1234notifyd opens a window, focus doesn't change00:44
ali1234notifyd closes window, focus jumps to "top most" window00:44
ali1234when really it should stay the same00:44
ali1234but i can't reproduce this with a test program, so it's not caused by that gtk bug00:44
ali1234if i just open a window with no focus it doesn't happen00:44
ali1234so it must be something else00:45
ochosisounds like it's notifyd specific then00:46
=== alpacaherder is now known as skellat
ochosig2g, night everyone00:47
ali1234ah ha00:47
ali1234it's one of the other hints that does it...00:47
ali1234night :)00:47
ali1234keep_above00:48
ali1234yeah, it happens if the window is no_focus and keep_above00:49
ali1234ok, so i guess i was totally looking in the wrong place all this time00:49
ali1234argh... this is a tricky one01:11
ali1234right, i see the problem01:12
ali1234if a window with above and no accept focus opens on a different layer to the current focus, it triggers a spurious focus change event01:13
ali1234anyone know where i can find the old svn for xfwm4?02:30
ali1234oh, nvm, it's all on the git02:33
ali1234hmm... actually i need the old cvs :(02:45
ali1234ok, so #gtk+ clued me in on how to fix the focus stealing in a better way05:09
ali1234fixed it in xfce4-notifyd05:09
ali1234the focus code in xfwm4 has so many workarounds and dodgy hacks i don't even know where to start05:09
ali1234anyway, by using override-redirect on the notify windows, this stops the window manager from seeing them at all. and so they don't interfere with anything05:10
elfyskellat: when you're about later today can you ping me please08:08
ochosiali1234: that sounds quite reasonable, can't think of a reason the notifications should steal the window focus at all09:02
ochosijjfrv8: hey there! was pretty much afk over the weekend so i'm just looking at the prefs in the xfdesktop-docs now09:30
ochosijjfrv8: as you don't seem to be here now, i'll write up my thoughts/notes on a separate wiki page09:33
ochosijjfrv8: for my comments, see http://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=xfdesktop-docs:preferences:comments09:50
ochosijjfrv8: great work on the prefs, there are just some issues we need to iron out, we can also discuss the transparent-option together when we're both around09:51
lderangood morning all :D10:01
bluesabreali1234: that would fix one of my biggest gripes :)10:05
ochosibluesabre: you mean the tearing with xfwm4 compositor?10:06
bluesabrenotifications making me lose focus in my current window for a brief moment10:06
ochosiah10:07
slickymastermorning all10:08
ochosimorning10:10
bluesabrehey slickymaster10:10
slickymasterochosi, bluesabre hi10:10
slickymasterI haven't forgot xfdesktop documentation :)10:11
ochosino worries ;)10:11
ochosii just went through jjfrv8's preferences part10:12
slickymasterochosi, we'll have to blame knome on my delay10:12
slickymaster;)10:12
knomewoot10:12
* ochosi blames knome 10:12
knomehuh10:12
slickymastermorning knome 10:12
knomethanks!10:12
knomegood day slickymaster 10:12
ochosibluesabre: i'm sometimes wondering whether we should set up a bug-bounty programme somehow10:13
* slickymaster is safely hidding10:13
knomewhat did i do this time?10:13
bluesabreochosi: tempting, but what would be the bounty, hopefully not money10:14
knomebluesabre, well we have some project moolah10:14
knomebluesabre, and we can send stickers10:14
knomebluesabre, and finnish candy :d10:14
ochosibluesabre: not sure, i think money could work. we could also do other stuff though10:14
knomeexcept if my wife eats them first10:14
ochosielementary did some bug-bounty for a geary backport to their luna release10:14
ochosiand it was monetary, iirc10:14
knomeso it should/would be a bounty with a deadline :P10:14
bluesabreso many pings! :D10:15
knomei read "pigs"10:16
ochosi:)10:16
bluesabre:(10:17
ochosioha, gtk3.10 is about to hit the trusty archives11:18
bluesabrewha11:45
bluesabreI thought trusty was sticking with 3.8?11:45
bluesabreso, from a design standpoint, do we want to force disable button images in gtk2 to make those apps match a bit more with gtk3.10?11:46
bluesabreand menu images11:46
ochosibluesabre: good question12:25
ochosii'm +1 on button images12:25
ochosii've been using that myself for quite some time now12:26
ochosiUnit193: so wait, your session changes seem quite important for 14.04, can a live-session even be started without them?12:48
jjfrv8ochosi, good afternoon. Saw your comments on Preferences. Snow day here so I'll be around if you want to set a time to discuss.13:41
ochosijjfrv8: hey there14:17
jjfrv8howdy14:17
jjfrv8ochosi, do you want to discuss preferences now?14:18
ochosiyeah, i can take a few minutes now14:19
jjfrv8I think I can do your points 1-4 with no problem but need to ask you about 5 & 614:20
ochosiyeah, especially with 6 i expected that14:20
ochosiwhat version of xfdesktop are you using at the moment again?14:21
ochosi4.11 from the xfce4.12 PPA?14:21
jjfrv8yeah, just checked again. xfdesktop4 4.11.114:21
ochosihm, ok, let me see what i have here then14:22
jjfrv8but I've got both the 4.12 and the 4.10 PPAs installed per the recommendation on the archive14:22
ochosiyeah14:22
ochosithat's fine14:22
ochosiso for me there's a header stating the workspace-name in the windowlist14:23
ochosii can quickly take a screenshot14:24
jjfrv8k, I think that would help14:24
ochosihttp://imagebin.org/28164714:24
ochosiwhere 1,2 and 3 are workspace names14:24
ochosithat seems to be missing in your screenshot14:25
skellatelfy: ¡PING!14:25
jjfrv8well, actually, it is there in the last screenshot14:26
ochosioh14:26
ochosilet me look again14:26
jjfrv8I probably should not have combined two settings in one screenshot14:26
jjfrv8and I renamed the workspaces to 'primary' and 'secondary'. probably shouldn't have done that either14:26
ochosiah14:27
ochosiyeah, now i understand14:27
ochosiso that's pretty much fine then i guess14:27
jjfrv8so I can use the default names and split out all four settings separately14:27
ochosiyou could put the small screenshots next to each other if you wanna save vertical space14:29
ochosibut yeah, it's not terribly important14:29
jjfrv8ok, that's an idea14:29
ochosithe users can figure these easy settings out themselves too14:29
ochosiand you've described them well enough i think14:29
jjfrv8the only reason I did the screenshots was the that 4.10 explanations weren't clear to me14:29
jjfrv8but I might just be dense :)14:30
ochosihehe14:30
ochosiwell depends on whether you have ever touched/tried these settings i think14:30
jjfrv8that's true14:30
ochosiwithout that it always seems more odd i guess14:30
ochosiok, so point 514:30
jjfrv8yeah14:30
ochosiknome did such a wallpaper for xubuntu as a tryout a longer while ago14:31
ochosibasically you can use a semi-transparent image, and the color/gradient you set on the desktop will "show through"14:31
jjfrv8so the "transparent" setting applies to the image, not the color, right?14:32
ochosino, those are two separate things14:32
ochosii haven't mentioned the transparent option yet in my comments, because i'm not sure myself how that works these days14:33
ochosiiirc, it was meant for e.g. the compiz-cube to have a transparent wallpaper14:33
ochosinot sure what it currently does14:33
ochosi(probably just show the root pixmap)14:33
ochosii have to ask eric_the_idiot about that14:33
jjfrv8i couldn't see where it did anything. and there are apparently no opacity controls or anything14:34
ochosiyeah, could be that it's even deprecated, i'm not sure and a bit too lazy to dig through the code right now ;)14:35
ochosii'd rather wait for eric to reply14:35
jjfrv8sounds good14:35
ochosiso let's keep that on our list of open issues14:35
jjfrv8sure14:35
ochosiwhat i haven't checked yet, how does this version compare to what's currently in the xfce-docs?14:36
ochosii mean for 4.1014:36
ochosicause it seems to me that we need to keep the 4.10 references there14:36
ochosiand e.g. the first screenshot/folder stuff is a rather big departure from the old desktop14:37
jjfrv8yeah, the only real diffs are in the first tab, but they are significant14:37
ochosinick said he would like to keep the docs for 4.10 there as well14:37
ochosiand only not the diffs to 4.1214:38
ochosiso we have to find a way to illustrate that14:38
jjfrv8hmm14:38
ochosipossibly by first showing the 4.10 screenshot + explanation, then the 4.12 screenshot+explanation14:38
ochosiwith a <note>This only applies to Xfce4.12</note> or something14:38
ochosiin between14:39
jjfrv8ok, that makes it a little tricky but I'll see what I can do14:39
ochosii know, it doesn't have to be beautiful, it should mostly be functional i guess14:39
ochosias soon as we have a proposal for that, i'll send an email to nick and eric and ask them for feedback on that14:40
jjfrv8ok14:40
ochosii'll cc you and slickymaster and then we'll see what route they wanna go14:40
ochosiso let's finalize the prefs-page first and then see14:40
ochosii'll quickly try to tackle the bugs page today14:41
jjfrv8by 'finalize' you mean a combo 4.10/4.12 version or just making the changes in your comments today14:42
jjfrv8?14:42
ochosiideally both14:43
ochosibut i'm mostly waiting for how the 4.10/4.12 stuff will look14:43
ochosiif it looks awful, we need to discuss that with the others14:43
ochosimaybe we have to take a different route then14:43
ochosibut it'll be mostly copy-paste i assume (either to a separate page or whatnot)14:44
jjfrv8ok, I'll see what I can come up with and ping you if I have questions14:45
ochosithanks!14:47
jjfrv8thank you!14:47
ochosijjfrv8: btw, the comments are meant as feedback and suggestions, if you don't agree with some of them let me know!14:52
jjfrv8thanks, but I think all of the suggestions were good ones.14:53
ochosiok, great14:53
ochosiandrzejr, ali1234: any idea why gtk3 indicators in the gtk2 panel would not use symbolic colors for the indicator-icons? (in the menu they seem fine)14:54
jjfrv8bbs14:59
ochosiandrzejr, ali1234: nvm, seems upstream doesn't support it :/16:27
Unit193ochosi: Sure, just AFAIK, won't autostart the live user.19:16
ochosihm, that doesn't sounds very nice19:17
Unit193It's not so bad if you know the user is $flavorname.19:24
elfydefault settings looks to be wrong on the current daily 19:33
knomein what way?19:34
elfysettings manager apps are in the settings menu or system menu - like they used to be19:34
knomehmm19:34
elfyand the daily is defaulting to bangla as language19:34
elfyat least it boots now19:35
elfynot sure which package to put that last one against19:35
knomeheh19:35
elfyknome: you got any idea which package the default language should be reported against?19:37
knomenot really19:37
elfyunless that's xubuntu-default-settings as well19:37
knomei guess you could ask in -release though19:37
elfyor -bigs19:39
elfys/i/u19:40
knomei mean you could ask release if it's probably something they poked that broke it19:41
knomethere shouldn't be that much anomalies ;)19:41
elfyI'd suspect it's tied up with lightdm things they did yesterday/today19:41
knomepossibly19:44

Unit193knome: Can you, or did you review the other one?20:00
jjfrv8elfy, yeah there seems to be lots of stuff wrong with this daily - like most of the app shortcuts are missing20:04
jjfrv8I haven't had time to do a full post-install test20:04
elfyI'm guessing something is awry with the default-settings somewhere20:05
elfybut I'm not the person to ask to pin down a package :p20:05
jjfrv8did I miss the discussion on the new panel config option that appears on reboot?20:05
Unit193Got a shot?20:06
jjfrv8I'll have to do another install. give me a few minutes.20:07
elfyif you did I missed it as well20:08

Unit193Or, just echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS20:16
Unit193The point is, you're in session Xfce.20:16

jjfrv8I told it I wanted it to log in automatically but it ignored that and made me log in on first reboot20:23
Unit193elfy: Should I/we/someone link the branches to the bugs?  And the packages are {l,x}ubuntu-default-settins (re: 1259525)20:24
elfyUnit193: aaah - right ok - so that default settings thing IS affecting that as well 20:24
Unit193Sure, but it boots, not as big of an issue as -gtk-greeter.20:25
elfyyep20:25
elfyUnit193: I'd assumed you were including that language in this20:35
brainwashis the language wrong on first session startup? it used to fall back to non english after a logout from the live session20:36
elfyit's wrong at boot to live session - though it is wrong that it's booting to login on live session20:36
elfyor #ubuntu-quality20:37
Unit193elfy: I have no idea what that is, but could be what the Washer of Brains said.20:37
elfybah20:37
brainwashI noticed the described behavior in saucy back then20:37
brainwashafter a logout the language was set to bengali(?)20:38
elfybangla perhaps20:38
brainwashsomething like that, yes20:38
elfyso that's wrong anyway 20:38
brainwashso there should already exist a report for this issue20:39
* elfy votes for fixing the sound indicator and calling saucy trusty and having 6 months off20:39
brainwashI prefer the real deal, gtk3 indicators :)20:39
brainwashsync indicator and message indicator are awesome20:40
Unit193That didn't work as well.20:40
elfyI'd prefer lots of things - I'll settle for something that works20:42

Unit193jjfrv8: Yep, it's just the one merge in, though bugs would have to be filed against the other one of course.  Good that it works for you as well.21:58
jjfrv8it fixed the automatic login thing too.21:59
