seb128good morning desktopers08:52
darkxsthey seb128, pitti09:03
seb128darkxst, hey, how are you?09:03
darkxstyeh good, its Friday!09:03
seb128darkxst, bug #1274740 arrived for you, if you want to review/comment09:03
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1274740 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Re-enable traditional titlebar on 'gnome-but-not-shell' sessions too" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/127474009:03
pittihey darkxst09:05
darkxstseb128, these other sessions, really shouldn;t be using XDG_DESKTOP_CURRENT=GNOME09:05
seb128darkxst, read the description, he's not09:05
seb128oh09:06
seb128he is, sorry09:06
seb128I mixed both variables09:06
darkxstpretty much all the patches that check for that, are gnome-shell specific09:06
darkxstpitti, my latest idea re autopilot, would be to add g-i to libautopilot-gtk09:07
seb128hey, sorry, I'm not fully awake yet, I read the  DESKTOP_SESSION=cairo-dock part and parsed it as XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=cairo-dock09:08
seb128commented on the bug to ask what is setting it for him there09:08
darkxstthen inject a few lines of JS code into gnome-shell to pass of the clutter stage object that would allow the library to pass the widget tree09:08
seb128pitti, new gvfs out, do you want to have a look or should I put it on my todo (just checking to not dup work)09:09
pittiseb128: not today, but I could on Monday09:10
seb128pitti, ok, let's see if I get to it today09:10
seb128pitti, are you in Brussel yet btw?09:10
pittiseb128: in Leuven, at a friend of mine09:10
seb128k09:10
seb128have fun at fosdem this w.e ;-)09:11
pittiseb128: we'll go to Brussels Sat morning, it's just a 20-30 min ride09:11
pittiseb128: merci !09:11
pittidarkxst: libautopilot-gtk only has a d-bus interface, so there's not a lot to add g-i for; it's just a GTK module09:12
darkxstpitti, point being gtk module won't work in gnome-shell09:12
pittidarkxst: oh, because it's not GTK?09:12
darkxstpitti, right, but we already determined that right?09:13
darkxstthe GTK widgets is uses are embedded within clutter09:13
pittidarkxst: I thought it was using some clutter widgets with embedded GTK stuff; I didn't know it was using clutter entirely09:13
darkxstrather than using clutter-gtk09:13
pittiwell, so it *does* use GTK?09:13
pittidarkxst: perhaps it's enough to make libautopilot-gtk's detection of top-level windows more clever, to also find these sub-trees?09:13
darkxstpitti, further down the widget tree09:14
darkxstits not possible to get at these from gtk module09:15
=== vrruiz_ is now known as rvr
darkxst(to get at the main clutter widget tree)09:15
pittiwell, we don't want to09:15
pittiwe just want the GTK subtrees09:16
darkxstpitti, no, shell widgets are not GTK09:16
darkxstonly things like notification icons09:16
pittiwell, I'm confused09:16
darkxstand perhaps windows09:16
pittiI thought you said shell are clutter widgets which at some point embed GTK widgets09:16
pittiand we want to get those09:16
darkxstpitti, we can get those but they are all random09:17
darkxstthe main shell ui, is not GTK09:17
pittidarkxst: btw, if gnome-shell supports a11y, it might be possible to use dogtail/strongwind09:18
darkxstno idea what they are, however gnome-shell has very good a11y support I believe (well out of my area though)09:19
darkxstpitti, I have to pop out, be back in a bit09:19

Laney;-)12:44
LaneyI think didrocks needs a hug12:45
seb128yeah, give him an extra one from me!12:46
seb128sil2100, can I convince you to give a slot for my trivial u-s-s request on l39? ;-)12:46
* didrocks wonders if we shouldn't have silo silots that you pay for12:47
didrocksthta will show how much you value your upload :p12:47
sil2100seb128: ooook, so Didier allowed me to land things that are safe and non-super-impacting12:49
ogra_didrocks, dont make my april fools joke from last year reality please :P12:49
seb128sil2100, exactly u-s-s, it adds some autopilot tests and update the translation template, no actual code change12:49
didrocksogra_: ahah, indeed! wonders if it would more effective with beers in place12:49
didrocksinstead*12:49
sil2100seb128: right, that's why I'm assigning ;)12:49
seb128didrocks, I'm ready to pay 1 beer for that silo12:49
seb128sil2100, thanks ;-)12:49

* didrocks registers12:50
didrockswe should have an application for that12:50

seb128ogra_, I'm disappointed that the internet is not quoting your "let's do better that those nautilus suckers"12:50
seb128ogra_, would be a nice friday trolling12:50
ogra_yeah12:50
seb128didrocks, you have a project for the train ;-)12:50
didrocksseb128: in the train for CItrain12:50
didrocksto train people12:50
ogra_seb128, in fact there are no reactions at all ..12:50
seb128;-)12:51
Laneyeveryone knows you by now :P12:51
ogra_i guess i need to be more leannartish in the future to get any attention12:52
seb128yeah12:52
seb128ogra_, just for the record I plan to reply something, I just need to make my mind of what we need from a filemanager in a converged world12:53
seb128ogra_, I'm unsure if "converged" is for normal "home users" or for corporates ones12:54
ogra_seb128, well, the phone tablet sides will exist already ...12:54
seb128e.g I wouldn't expect the same feature set from my tablet/after hours computer than the ones I need during "office hours"12:55
ogra_i assume it just needs to grow a desktop mode12:55
mlankhorstLaney: ping :P12:55
seb128well, the question is "does desktop mean stuff like handling of remote servers, nfs, etc"12:55
mlankhorstnm12:55
ogra_well, it does today12:55
mlankhorstjust the act of pinging makes me find the information i need12:55
seb128ogra_, right, but do we need that much features for the convergence to happen? or can we do something which is good enough for 90% and tell the other ones to install e.g nemo12:56
seb128or nautilus12:56
ogra_seb128, i would say we shouldnt regress in features ... at least plan them12:57
ogra_(i dont expect them all to be there in the first iteration anyway)12:58
seb128ogra_, right, we are not likely to get "there" by next cycle12:58
ogra_anyway, lets keep that on the ML12:58
seb128what ml was it again?12:59
seb128I can't find the email now :p12:59

araHello! Due to some broken packages (trusty) in several PPAs (ubuntu-sdk-team, qt5-proper) my system is in an unstable state13:32
araunity starts, but the launcher, the dash and indicators are not shown13:32
araany ideas of potential missing packages?13:32
seb128ara, hey13:32
seb128ara, is it working better in a guest session?13:33
araseb128, good point, let me try and I will get back13:33
darkxstLaney, sorry I'm out for the weekend now, but at a quick glance seems reasonable in combination with desktop-extras13:36
araseb128, yes, better in guest session13:37
seb128ara, better but still not good?13:37
araseb128, no, better and good :)13:38
araseb128, at least it looks good13:38
seb128ara, run that command for your user "gsettings reset org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ active-plugins"13:38
araseb128, and restart session?13:39
araseb128, ah, no, it worked! thanks!13:39
seb128ara, shouldn't be needed13:39
seb128yw!13:39
araseb128, you are awesome!13:39
arathanks a lot13:39
seb128;-)13:39

darkxstLaney, there may be some things that overlap with -desktop that would make sense to have (gnome-themes-standard is one), but will get back to on monday re that13:43

ochositedg: ping16:42
tedgHowdy ochosi16:43
ochositedg: hey there!16:44
ochosii quickly wanted to investigate what the plan is with respect to indicators and the upstart-job transition16:44
ochosiwe recently implemented this change in lightdm-gtk-greeter and then realized, that there are still some problems/roadblocks ahead16:45
ochosiwe're planning a new stable release (1.8) for 14.04, so it'd be great to know what version to ship16:46
ochositedg: ^16:53
tedgochosi, So basically we're switching them from being on-demand to being session-services.16:55
tedgochosi, Do you have a session manager?16:55
ochositedg: you mean in the greeter?16:55
ochositedg: if so, we usually don't16:56
ochosithis is how we handle them now: https://code.launchpad.net/~lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/lightdm-gtk-greeter/indicators16:56
tedgochosi, That should work, the code in START_INDICATOR_SERVICES16:57
ochositedg: right, i just noticed that it doesn't work with all indicators yet16:58
=== greyback|food is now known as greyback
ochosiand there's this blueprint saying that some are still WIP16:58
tedgochosi, Which one doesn't it?16:58
ochosiindicator-application16:58
ochosi(for nm-applet)16:58
tedgHmm, okay.16:58
* tedg thought we fixed it.16:58
tedgI'll make sure that works.16:58
tedgIt's a bug.16:59
tedgBTW, it won't start nm-applet though.16:59
ochosihmkay16:59
ochosii was also looking at this https://bugs.launchpad.net/libindicator/+bug/118556517:00
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1185565 in libindicator "Indicators should have Upstart jobs" [Medium,Confirmed]17:00
ochosiapplication indicators seemingly hasn't had a release yet?17:00
ochositedg: also, in addition to that ^ this also made me wonder about the roadmap: https://code.launchpad.net/~ted/ubiquity/upstart-indicators/+merge/19294117:04
tedgochosi, Yeah, I have a TODO item to make ubquity use the autostart files there.17:04
tedgochosi, I need to run right now, but I'll look into it more when I get back.17:05
ochositedg: ok, ttyl then!17:05
xnoxochosi: tedg: ubiquity doesn't need autostart/upstart files at all, i'm looking into fixing it otherwise.17:08
ochosixnox: so that comment about re-introducing dbus activation, is there a plan to switch back to that?17:08
ochosisorry to ask so bluntly, but i'm a bit confused here17:09
=== gatox_lunch is now known as gatox
xnoxochosi: no dbus activation, nor upstart jobs, nor autostart files are needed for ubiquity.17:21
xnoxochosi: i've discussed it with tedg in length.17:21
xnoxochosi: and i'm assigned to implement it.17:21
seb128xnox, what are you going to use instead?17:26
xnoxseb128: same thing the rest of ubiquity-dm uses to launch & track all other processes it launches.17:27
seb128xnox, k17:27
xnox"ubiquity process lifecycle management"17:27
seb128it's weird that ubiquity has its own management rather than using upstart17:29
xnoxseb128: also ubiquity predates upstart.17:30
xnoxseb128: there are no ubiquity maintainers, and we are investing as minimal effort as needed to keep it functioning.17:30
seb128right, but it would be easy to make indicators job upstart managed there17:30
xnoxseb128: only things that are priority are OEM bugs + hardware enablement.17:31
seb128anyway, I didn't want to start an argument, you are the one doing the work, you get to pick what seems best to you ;-)17:31
seb128yeah17:31
xnoxseb128: =) meh =) yeah.17:31
seb128I just though that using upstart jobs would be easiest option17:31
seb128tell you how little I know about those things :p17:31
ochosi(sry, internet went out)17:38
ochosiseb128, xnox: so in general, all indicators *will* be ported to upstart jobs for 14.04, right?17:39
ochosii just mistook that comment from the ubiquity-MR for plans to revert the switch to upstart and go back to dbus in general17:39
xnoxochosi: i have no idea, and none of my concern.17:39
xnoxochosi: other discussions, superseeded that comments of mine.17:39
seb128ochosi, that's a question for ted17:40
ochosixnox: ok17:40
xnoxochosi: i have no objections in indicators moving to everything =)17:40
ochosihmm, well i just would love to have working indicators in time for 14.0417:40
ogra_move them to the laft :P17:40
ogra_left17:40
ochosiand with feature-freeze approaching it's a bit annoying not to know what path is chosen17:41
