kdubanother fun day of powerd for me... see yall tommorrow01:58
dufluLater kdub02:11
RAOFracarr: Oh, Kevin mentioned that you were fighting with nested?02:44

dufluRAOF: Silly question: In the nested world, a greeter is a shell too, right?07:25
RAOFduflu: There will certainly be a greeter shell, yes.07:25
dufluGood. Just checking I understood that much07:25
RAOFWhether or not the greeter is built into that shell or is a separate client is neither here nor there, really.07:25
dufluRAOF: Interesting point. If the greeter is just a client then the efforts to support translucent nested servers won't be used (anpok!)07:38
RAOFNo, they will.07:39
RAOFThere will still be a nested shell that the greeter runs in.07:39
dufluSounds weird. We'd have to have a good reason for that...07:39
RAOFThe greeter needs to have a bit of session logic, as it folds in multiple processes.07:40
RAOFSee the current greeter - the indicators need to be folded in, and they can pop up windows, etc.07:40
dufluSo put another way... in the nested case you can choose which server a client connects to. Why wouldn't the greeter just be a client to the system compositor?07:41
dufluOh, right, popups in greeters. OK07:41
RAOFBecause then everything it spawns will be clients of the system compositor, and we would need nontrivial window management in the system compositor.07:41
RAOFRight, you've got it :)07:41
dufluYou could just say don't make greeters with windows :)07:42
dufluI think Ubuntu is unique in that area07:42
RAOFI'm pretty sure we'll continue to want non-trivial greeters; the ability to enable wifi before logging in remotely requires some windowish.07:47
dufluWow, framerate (thoughput) is indeed higher when nesting. What's that all about?!08:07
dufluPerhaps nesting allows the extra N-buffering we don't really do properly with a single server?08:07
RAOFPerhaps.08:16
anpokhmm08:22
anpokrfkill block / unblock seems to fix the issue08:23
anpokRAOF: do you experience strange behavior on the ac7260 wifi chip08:23
RAOFanpok: I don't have one of those; I've got Qualcomm Atheros AR946208:24
dufluThat's odd. Intel wifi is usually the best. And ac7260 I think is the newest ... http://ark.intel.com/products/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-726008:25
anpokit works very well for like a day usually08:25
anpokbut then connection attempts seem to take ages.. lots of packet loss08:26
anpokmaybe caused by some upgrade.. I had no issue in london08:28
RAOFI've seen complaints that Intel wifi has been going backwards, quality-wise.08:28
anpokand the time before08:28
dufluHmm, and now nested is slower, which sounds more sane08:29
anpokduflu: I hoped that RAOF branch gets merged sooner.. what do you mean by resubmit? wait untill checks-for-urfaceless is in devel?08:31
dufluanpok: No, you can resubmit now and RAOF's diff will be hidden if it's listed as a prereq of yours08:32
dufluJust fill in the Prerequisite Branch field08:32
dufluanpok: Thanks. That's smaller :)08:48
anpokyeah.. I didnt expect such a feature would exist08:49
anpokregarding tests.. I think I need to do some more behavior changes08:50
anpokso far it only allows selecting pixel formats08:50
anpokwhich is ignored by offscreen and android  .. and it would fail for mesa08:51
anpokat least now it would fail08:52
anpokhm i think inside gbm.. if somebody tries to create an ARGB buffer with the scan out flag it would fail08:52
anpokshall I filter such an attempt.. and pick a similar pixel format without alpha - or throw?08:54
anpokah ok display class in mesa also does not take that setting into account09:30
dufluanpok: I've noticed it's very confusing trying to tell the difference between nested and non-nested servers on screen. Could you by any chance add an option to select the glClear background colour for each? :)09:33
duflu... I noticed after realizing I was moving and resizing the nested server and _not_ the client within it :P09:34
anpokyeah09:34
anpokwe could also draw borders09:34
anpokclear is simpler09:34
dufluanpok: The glClear call already exists. Just change glClearColor09:40
dufluAlthough when I changed the default colour, that upset Unity8 people09:40
anpokoh there is clear call in mesa platform09:44
anpoki thought only in the example shell09:44
anpokwould we see garbage on screen otherwise - if there was no initial clear&swap?09:45
dufluanpok: src/server/compositor/gl_renderer.cpp:    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);09:52

alan_gCI and Autolanding are failing android-trusty-i386 with "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release" - I've put a general query on #ubuntu-ci-eng, but no-one I know is awake there.11:32

alan_galf_: looking...14:43
alf_alan_g: resubmitted against mir-devel: https://code.launchpad.net/~afrantzis/mir/fix-mako-ci-use-steady-clock/+merge/19947214:44
alan_galf_: can you try a cross-build (including running tools/setup-partial-armhf-chroot.sh)? Do you see something like "/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/bits/byteswap.h:74:17: error: ‘__uint64_t’ does not name a type"?15:01
alf_alan_g: trying15:05
kgunnalan_g: alf_ sorry...was in with ui guys...15:10
* kgunn waits for cross build results15:10
alan_gkgunn: ?15:10
kgunnalan_g: just checking back in...15:11
kgunnseems the 32bit stuff was a red herring15:11
alf_alan_g: problem confirmed here too, I will try again after an apt-get update15:12
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|lunch
alan_galf_: thanks15:24
alf_alan_g: FWIW, no change after ensuring I have an up-to-date system15:32
alan_galf_: agreed. Something changed upstream - not yet tracked down what. (I hope I've an old copy of the relevant files on my laptop...)15:33

alf_kgunn: @fix-mako-ci-use-steady-clock, it's blocked by cross-compilation issues so we might want to merge manually to get it in ASAP16:36
kgunnalf_: please do....16:36
alf_kgunn: cross-compilation issues == the ones Alan is investigating16:36
kgunnalf_: yes...i realized it right after i saw it fail & tried to approve again :P16:37
alan_gHmm, this must be related - a load of "#  if __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG" conditions have become unconditional in the gnu headers.16:45
