brainwashochosi: your system is just.. awesome :D00:17
brainwashyour screen gets locked automatically via dbus, right? or via xfce4-session and xflock4 (light-locker-command)?00:19
ochosiacutally it gets locked via X11's builtin screensaver00:25
ochosibrainwash: ^00:25
ochosilight-locker does automatic time-based locking based on whatever is set in "xset s"00:25
brainwashon suspend?00:25
brainwashand does the version trusty already support the time-based locking?00:27
ochosinot sure what version there is00:29
ochosi1.1.0 supports it00:29
ochosion suspend it autolocks, yes00:29
ochosilight-locker listens to the suspend command and locks the screen00:29
ochosithere's not even a switch currently to turn that off00:29
brainwashyeah, I know that :)00:30
brainwash1.0.0 in trusty00:30
knomebbl, back sometime...00:32
brainwashochosi: ok, so both systems here run 1.0.000:33
ochosii can see that we do a new stable release soon00:34
ochosithere aren't really any more features we want for now i think00:34
brainwashuhm, what about the ability to show screensavers? xD00:35
brainwashso no plans for a GUI settings window or something like that?00:36
ochosithat certainly is out of the scope of light-locker00:36
ochosiwell a gui for settings, i hope yes00:36
ochosibut ideally it'll get integrated in other settings dialogs00:36
ochosino need for specific light-locker settings tbh00:36
ochosippl need to be able to set the X11 screensaver for blanking00:37
ochosiand maybe enable/disable the time-based locking00:37
ochosiand that's about it00:37
brainwashmmh, you still need a GUI which is DE independent00:37
brainwashor at least a conf file00:38
ochosithe conf is done by the distributors atm00:38
ochosiby setting the startup command00:38
ochosithing is that UI would literally contain a checkbox or two and a gtkspinbutton for setting the timeout00:39
brainwashit somehow feels a bit incomplete for a LTS release, or?00:39
brainwashincomplete/basic00:40
ochosii'm not sure what's missing00:40
ochosii always wanted it to be basic00:40
ochosiit's not called "fancy-locker" for a reason00:40
brainwashthe average user wants to be able to control it00:40
ochosiyeah, but ideally they will be able to00:41
ochosivia setting timeouts in powermanager-settings00:41
ochosithat needs fixes for logind anyway, adding a way of enabling the X11 screensaver and setting its timeout shouldn't be too hard00:41
brainwashdoe we have a test case for light-locker?00:41
ochosinot sure00:42
brainwashit might cause some unexpected failures00:42
brainwashochosi: is a request needed to upgrade to 1.1.0?00:47
brainwashthis is the initial packaging request bug 123713400:48
ubottubug 1237134 in light-locker (Ubuntu) "[needs-packaging] light-locker -- lightdm-based session locker" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123713400:48
ochosii think we need to release a new stable version in order to get ubuntu folks to update it00:49
ochosisince it's an LTS release, i would expect them to want something that's also labelled stable00:49
ochosieven if there won't be additional fixes00:49
brainwashI see00:50
brainwash"Preparing to release 1.1.0"00:50
ochosianyway, if you wanna write a tiny app that sets the screensaver values, that'd be welcome00:50
ochosii personally don't have any time to take care of that, too many other things (and christmas) coming up00:50
brainwashwith my amount of knowledge and experience it would take weeks00:51
brainwashfinding the right way to do it00:52
brainwashor a "good" way00:52
ochosii think ubuntu handle it all via their session00:53
ochosiso no additional settings dialog is needed there00:53
rowboatn1ckwouldnt you just need to change .xscreensaver?00:54
brainwashochosi: right, because it's familiar with gnome-screensaver00:55
ochosirowboatn1ck: no, that's for xscreensaver00:56
rowboatn1ckthere's a new one?00:56
ochosii was talking about X11's screensaver extension (aka libxss)00:56
ochosiwe're planning to replace xscreensaver with light-locker00:56
ochosiwhich blanks the screen with X11 and un/locks it via lightdm's greeter00:57
rowboatn1ckah00:57
brainwashochosi: make xfce4-session aware of light-locker (and not care that much about other DEs)?00:59
ochosibrainwash: there's a misunderstanding here: there's no need for awareness of light-locker specifically, only of X11's screensaver extension00:59
ochosilight-locker only listens to libxss00:59
ochosiand reacts to blanking by locking shortly thereafter01:00
ochosiso basically anything that manages X11's settings works with light-locker01:00
brainwashand to dbus messages01:00
ochosithat's we're a bit reluctant to create a UI for it i guess01:00
ochosi+why01:00
ochosiyeah, to those as well01:00
ochosixflock will be patched, so manual locking will work fine01:01
brainwashbut I mean, xfce4-session locks the screen on suspend/hibernate via xflock4 if the users activates it01:01
brainwashdeactivating it won't work as of now01:01
ochosiyeah, not with light-locker 1.001:02
brainwashbut with 1.1.0?01:02
brainwashwith the current available snapshot I mean01:03
ochosiwith the daily PPA, it'll auto-lock on suspend01:03
ochosinot sure it'll do anything on hibernate01:03
ochosiit could also be that you have your issue because the session does something wrong when locking via xflock01:04
ochosii'm really not sure, i've never used it like that tbh01:04
brainwashwe should threat suspend and hibernate equally =S01:04
ochosiyeah, but hibernate isn't enabled in ubuntu by default01:04
brainwashno, xflock4 does not even get called01:04
ochosihence the same is true for xubuntu01:04
ochosiso it's already not treated the same way01:04
brainwashit's via session/dbus01:04
ochosiah ok01:04
ochosimaybe there's the problem, i don't know the session-code01:05
brainwashxflock4 isn't even patched yet01:05
ochosiwasn't there a merge-request?01:06
brainwashochosi: one last question, your system switches to vt8 after you resume the system, right?01:07
ochosii specifically remember someone from ubuntu-devel asking me about the MR and i "approved" it01:07
ochosiyeah01:07
brainwashnot before the system enters the suspend sate01:07
brainwashstate01:07
brainwashok01:07
ochosibefore i suspend, i see the light-locker-screen show for a sec or so, then nothing01:07
ochosiwhen it wakes up, the screen is blank (because that's what the greeter now does by default when it's in locker-state)01:08
ochosithen i move my mouse or hit a key, enter my password and i'm logged in again01:08
brainwashhttps://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu/trusty/xfce4-session/light-locker01:08
brainwashyes01:09
ochosii don't know enough about debian packaging, but to me it's weird that there's the patch and it's also already applied01:11
ochosibut maybe that's how it's supposed to be01:11
ochosiother than that it looks ok01:11
ochosiso i hope Noskcaj follows up on it01:12
brainwashI guess he knows how this stuff works01:13
brainwashso it's the quilt patch + the actual patched code01:14
ochosiyup01:15
brainwashmmh, any news regarding bug 1222021 ?01:15
ubottubug 1222021 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "xfce4-power-manager does not inhibit systemd from handling buttons and lid events" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/122202101:15
brainwashI'll try to get the importance level raised to high, because the user might lose data if the system performs a shutdown on button press (no dialog) or when the system tries to suspend on a system which does not support it properly01:18
brainwashon top of that, it affects many users01:19
ochosiyeah, but it won't help i guess01:19
ochosiunless someone writes a patch01:19
ochosi(i mean the importance level alone)01:19
ochosithat would be one alternative, have a simple systemd settings app that also controls the screensaver01:20
brainwashtrue, not even "critical" would change anything =S01:20
ochosithen we dont need the powermanager anymore01:20
ochosirowboatn1ck: wanna write some UI code again? ;) ^01:21
brainwashpower manager also controls screen brightness and other settings01:21
brainwashand different profiles for battery and AC mode01:22
elfyochosi: finally got around to adding lightlocker/ removing xscreensaver - seems the shortcut to it is ctrl+alt+L - not working for me here12:22
brainwashelfy: did you also patch xflock4?12:35
elfyno - why should I have12:35
elfyhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2013-December/009478.html12:36
brainwashbecause the shortcut calls xflock412:36
elfydoesn't say anything about fiddling about, if it's nto prod ready that's fine - just assumed it was12:37
brainwashhttps://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu/trusty/xfce4-session/light-locker12:37
brainwashso a branch does already exist, merging and packaging takes some time =S12:38
elfythanks - brainwash - I'll wait for that to land then12:38
elfyyep - indeed :)12:39
elfyjust trying to make sure this machine has everything installable we hope to land in April actually installed12:39
brainwashright, the new stuff should be included asap I think12:41
elfyyep12:41
brainwashand we got plenty of changes and new features12:41
elfyI think the only 'new' stuff not installed here is menulibre and mugshot12:44
brainwashgtk3 indicator support12:44
brainwashthe mentioned light-locker integration12:45
brainwashand the patches for the smooth background transition12:45
elfyyea12:45
brainwashwhisker menu12:45
elfythough I've got both installed atm 12:45
elfyand that12:45
brainwashand the panel layout loader/saver tool12:46
brainwash:D12:46
elfyno idea about that12:46
elfyif people doing these things don't actaully say on the mailing list then they get missed12:47
elfybbl12:48
brainwashbye12:48
elfyhave a good day brainwash :)12:48
=== hobgoblin is now known as elfy
elfybluesabre: is there a trusty source for mugshot yet?13:16
elfythe daily ppa appears to not have one13:16
elfyochosi: side effect here with removing xscreensaver and installing lightlocker - now affected by Bug 1193716 15:25

bluesabreelfy: good point, I've added a trusty build, should finish shortly15:52
bluesabreelfy, please see my comment on that bug15:56
elfybluesabre: k - cheers and I saw the comment :)16:49
elfyknome: always useful :)16:49
brainwashdoesn't the power manager allow to configure the timer for screen blanking?16:53
brainwashelfy: can you please suspend/hibernate your system and after resume check if the login greeter displays the "Log In" or "Unlock" button?16:54
elfyI tried suspend a short while ago - when I was looking at the lock screen thing - coming out of suspend - just goes straight to where I suspended from16:56
elfyno login nor unlock16:56
brainwashshow while ago? after installing light-locker / making it the default?16:57
brainwashshort16:58
elfyyea - after lightlocker install16:58
elfyI'm not really here atm16:58
brainwashso it should automatically lock your session every time you suspend/hibernate the system16:59
brainwashvia session menu16:59
elfyof course17:03
brainwashochosi: still don't understand this, lightdm reports that the greeter is not being used as lock screen (lock_hint not set)17:08
brainwashochosi: but it works if I manually lock the session before triggering suspend/hibernate17:09
knomeelfy, yep...17:22
bluesabreelfy, did you restart, or run light-locker?17:32
bluesabrethe process has to be running to listen to suspend/hibernate/light-locker -l17:32
bluesabreits added to autostart, but not started automatically until you've logged out or run "light-locker"17:33
elfyno - no restart done - I'll check tomorrow then - but then I also applied setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0 now 17:39
ochosielfy: yeah, you have to set that timeout via "xset s $seconds" in the terminal atm17:49
ochosiwe'll have to fix that somehow, not sure yet how/where17:50
bluesabreochosi: create a lightweight alternative to the xscreensaver settings17:50
ochosibluesabre: yeah, or just fix powermanager to be able to set those values17:51
bluesabrebut then what about the lubuntu folks?17:51
ochosii thought they also use the powermanager?17:51
bluesabremaybe17:51
bluesabrewe need to figure out what to do with this, want to create a wiki page or lp blueprint?17:52
ochosione sec, i'm actually trying to follow up on the panel issues atm17:52
ochosi(alpha and bg issues i mean)17:52
bluesabreok, cool17:53
brainwashbluesabre: do you test/use light-locker?17:56
bluesabreyeah, or I have in the past, haven't set it up on my new laptop yet17:57
bluesabrebut I can answer any questions about it17:58
brainwashdoes the gtk greeter show the "log in" or "unlock" button after resuming from suspend/hibernate? :P17:58
bluesabreshould show "unlock"17:59
bluesabrebecause it locks the screen when it suspends17:59
brainwashright, but lightdm does report a wrong status (lock_hint not set)17:59
brainwashfor me (2 different systems)17:59
bluesabreso lightdm shows Log in for you then?18:00
brainwashyes18:00
brainwashbut it works properly if I manually lock the screen and the suspend/hibernate18:01
bluesabrehm18:01
bluesabreochosi ^18:01
brainwashochosi cannot confirm this :/18:02
brainwashso I'm trying to find someone to confirm this issue18:03
bluesabreare you running saucy or trusty?18:03
brainwashone system is saucy, the other one is trusty18:04
bluesabreah18:04
bluesabrecovering all the bases ;)18:04
brainwashone can only suspend, the other one only hibernate :D18:04
ochosiso...18:04
brainwashbasically they are totally different18:04
ochosinot covering all the bases ;)18:04
bluesabreI'm not familiar with the code, but I might take a look and see if anything sticks out to me18:05
brainwashif I manually lock the session, I will get redirected to vt8 _before_ entering the suspend state18:05
brainwashbut automatically via dbus _after_ resuming18:06
ochosimy guess is that xfce4-session locks only after coming back from suspend18:06
ochosilight-locker locks it before going into suspend18:07
ochosi(because it seemed safer)18:07
brainwashxfce4-session does nothing actually, only triggering the suspend process18:07
brainwashxflock4 is not called18:07
ochosimight be a bug in the session then18:08
bluesabrenot really a session bug, it doesn't lock by default on suspend18:10
bluesabrelight-locker's lock activates when it detects the suspend-signal18:11
bluesabrebut thats probably too late18:11
bluesabreso it locks when it comes back18:11
bluesabreis my guess18:11
bluesabre:D18:11
ochosinot sure, it locks on time here18:11
ochosiwhen i hit suspend, i see the lockscreen of light-locker for a split-second18:11
bluesabreprobably a race condition18:11
ochosimaybe, but it has been working consistently here for a long while18:12
ochosianyway, it wouldn't hurt to let the session take care of that18:12
bluesabremaybe we can upstream it with nick, or add an ubuntu-patch18:12
ochosiyeah18:13
ochosii'm not at all familiar with the session code though18:13
ochosialso: the powermanager also handles that18:13
ochosiso duplocate functionality18:13
ochosii think the powerman calls xflock18:13
ochosi(but it doesn't work with logind)18:14
ochosiit's a huge mess, imo18:14
bluesabreyeah18:20
bluesabre"modularity"18:20
ochosi:/18:22
ochosiimo we should fix the powermanager18:22
ochosifirst ubuntu-patch it18:22
ochosior convince nick that it needs patching18:22
ochosibut we really need a fix for that for 14.0418:22
ochosiat least proper logind support18:22
brainwashhttps://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:xfce/xfce4-power-manager18:29
brainwashpatches do exist18:29
brainwashgnome-screensaver shows the "unlock" button after resume18:32
ochosiwe should try to get those patches then...18:32

forestpiskieback tomorrow18:47
ochosiforestpiskie: did you move your mouse?18:50
ochosiah18:50
ochosiscreen still blanking means: use "xset s $timeout" in your running session18:50
ochosithis setting doesn't get restored18:51
