desrtrobert_ancell: any plans to continue porting the games to new tech?02:28
desrti noticed today that aisleriot still uses gconf....02:28
robert_ancelldesrt, which games?02:28
robert_ancelldesrt, I don't work on them anymore, but the main games are being actively ported02:29
robert_ancellaisleriot got split off, so I think it's stagnating as much as it always was02:29

robert_ancellyeah02:38
robert_ancellI couldn't see any downside to doing it02:38
desrti have some ideas for a version 2 of the schema file starting to add up02:39
robert_ancellxnox, did you assign to mpt for a specific reason?02:41
xnoxrobert_ancell: yeap, the wallpaper is buggy, I agree with you =) and i've now generated images showing the bull's eye and rough offsets.03:10
robert_ancellxnox, they may have offset it on purpose, because that might made it look less rigid. But with the grid on top we emphasise the offset03:11
robert_ancellxnox, because in general you should open a task against the ayatana-design project so any designer can see it03:11
xnoxrobert_ancell: i never touch ayatana-design tasks. Most of the time, it's bug updates by JL demanding things that got rejected by desktop team / TechBoard / mark.03:13
xnoxrobert_ancell: i thought "needs-design" was the tag to get designers attention =/03:13
robert_ancellxnox, perhaps the process changed :)03:14
xnoxi don't like this border-less stuff =) i've got confused between "emacs full screen with two buffers" vs "two emacs windows, each snapped to half-screen"03:15
xnoxI guess, i'll get used to it =)03:15

mlankhorstseb128: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinput/+bug/1287341 needs fixing in some other layer, the transformation matrix needs to be set..08:49
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1287341 in xinput (Ubuntu) "Touchscreen controls both screens in dual-monitor setup" [Undecided,Incomplete]08:49
seb128good morning desktopers08:50
mlankhorstshould I reassign it to gnome-settings?08:50
seb128hum, I guess unity-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon should do that, but why can't xorg do the right thing?08:50
mlankhorstit does by scaling it over the entire screen :P08:51
mlankhorsthttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698284 I think08:52
ubot2`Gnome bug 698284 in xrandr "Missing feature causes weird behavior when using touchscreen when two (or more) monitors are present" [Normal,Unconfirmed]08:52
seb128so why is the output not matching?08:53
mlankhorstpoking the xi maintainer some more it seems garnacho is working on it08:56
seb128cool08:57
seb128that still seems wrong08:57
seb128it means every desktop environment has to implement the same logic08:57
seb128input should just match the screen, without needed a specific desktop/client code08:57
mlankhorstthey also have to map things like output providers / render slaves08:57
seb128hum, k, I don't know the details of the input stack, but it still seems wrong that input doesn't match screen out of the box, e.g that you have to rely on desktop code to make things work for you09:02
seb128because it means GNOME, KDE, xfce, ldme, lightdm, etc are all going to need to add the same "transformation matrix code"09:03
seb128which is just nonsense09:03
* mlankhorst didn't write the code :/09:22
RAOFseb128: Oh, ho ho ho!09:24
seb128RAOF, hey, how are you?09:24
RAOFseb128: There's no way to map between the display panel and the touch input device.09:24
RAOFBecause hardware is hateful.09:24
seb128:-(09:25
RAOFseb128: Hey!09:25
seb128there is also no way to have a more common component/something not desktop specific?09:25
RAOFWell, you could, but you absolutely have to expose a user-visible preference, because any heuristic will be wrong in some cases.09:26
RAOFSo there's going to be a desktop-specific component to any solution.09:26
seb128does that need calibration?09:27
RAOFNot so much calibration as ‘which monitor is this input device attached to?’09:27
seb128so we need a piece of UI as well to do that?09:29
RAOFYeah.09:29
seb128it means it can't work out of the box/has to prompt you when you connect a new monitor?09:29
RAOFWeeeell.09:30
RAOFYou *can* do some heuristics (which is what I intend to do in Mir), like ‘did a touchscreen-like input device show up at the same time as this monitor was plugged in’?09:30
seb128I guess you can do guessing, like if you have a touch input and one screen only, match them, if you add new devices that a non touch assume the input should still match the first one09:31
RAOFBut, no, if everything's plugged in on first boot, you can't get it to reliably work out of the box (this also affects Windows)09:31
seb128:-(09:31
RAOFYes.09:31
RAOFI have no idea how MS hasn't written a hardware spec for this.09:31
seb128why is tech so lame? by now you would expect that new hardware don't come out without a way for the OSes to deal properly with them :/09:32
RAOFIt's not like they've not spent a huge amount of effort pissing off their existing users to move to a touch interface or anything.09:32
RAOFThis wasn't so much of a problem when there weren't external touchscreens available.09:33
RAOFBecause then ‘is it an internal display?’ is a very good guess.09:33
seb128right09:33
RAOFAnd you only had to deal with the reasonably rare hateful cases where that didn't apply :)09:35

seb128andyrock, yes, boot, log in using lightdm (not autologin)11:56
=== MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch
=== Sweetsha1k is now known as Sweetshark
davmor2seb128: am I correct in assuming that the new lock screen is lightdm I'm having issues with it and the screen blanking12:03
seb128davmor2, no it's not, it's unity, what issues?12:03
davmor2seb128: if I leave it for 5 minutes it should blank, but instead displays the unlock screen, if I unlock it 2-3 seconds later the screen blanks and I have to unlock it again.  If I hit ctrl+alt+l it used to blank the screen again now it just displays the lock screen12:05
seb128Trevinho, andyrock: ^12:06
seb128davmor2, you should open a bug about it12:06
seb128davmor2, what are you setting for turn off and lock screen?12:06
davmor2seb128: hence me asking what it was part of :)12:06
xnoxmpt: hello! I have a bug report against the new default wallpaper =) while it clearly has a center point, it's not in the center. bug #129173512:07
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1291735 in ubuntu-wallpapers (Ubuntu) "Default 14.04 wallpaper does not align well with greeter grid" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/129173512:07
davmor2seb128: default settings I've not modified anything12:07
xnoxmpt: thus it looks odd, when greeter dot pattern & circle of friends are applied on top of it (as those are centered perfectly)12:07
seb128davmor2, the default setting is to turn off & lock after 5 minutes, seems to be what you describe12:10
seb128davmor2, if it was not locking before then it was buggy and the current behaviour is correct12:11
davmor2seb128: no it was blanking before you move the mouse or hit a key and the lock screen would appear12:11
seb128blanking before you hit a key?N12:12
seb128I don't understand the concept :p12:12
davmor2seb128: now instead it isn't blanking it is displaying the lock screen, then it blanks after you unlock it12:12
seb128I can't confirm that12:12
seb128for me it fades the screen after the timeout12:12
seb128once the screen is off it's locked12:12
seb128if I move the mouse it turns the screen on12:12
davmor2seb128: I'll write the bug and then take a video of saucy and trusty12:12
seb128if I type my password I've my session12:12
seb128don't bother taking a video of saucy12:13
seb128having one of trusty would help (make sure you have uptodate, maybe check in a new user session)12:13
davmor2seb128: no I meant as a comparison for what I expect to happen and was happening on trusty12:13
davmor2seb128: it could be the optimus gfx that are causing the issue maybe12:14
seb128right, don't bother doing the saucy one12:14
seb128we know what's expected12:14
davmor2seb128: ofcourse now I want to video it, it is working perfectly sods law I record it if it happens again12:28
seb128haha12:28
seb128ok, thanks12:28
seb128davmor2, did you reboot since the recent update? I wonder if you maybe still had the old gnome-screensaver running or something12:29
davmor2seb128: ah could be12:29
davmor2might be a race as to what blanks it first gnome or unity which would explain to 2 logins12:31
seb128we patched gnome-screensaver to call unity locking under unity12:32
seb128so that should not happne12:32
tkamppeterlarsu, around?12:41
seb128tkamppeter, you probably just better ask your question so he can reply when he reads scrollback12:43
seb128bregma, hey, how do you guys track bugs to fix for trusty in unity/what's the best way to point the "that's a regression we need to fix before release"?12:44
tkamppeterlarsu, seb128, there seems to be a problem with whatever icon pops up on Xubuntu when something is printed, see bug 1291075. CUPS does its job correctly as the printout comes correctly out of the printer, the problem is the desktop icon. To which package do I have to assign this bug?12:45

davmor2seb128, Trevinho, andyrock: Okay so after a reboot the screen blanking is kicking in correctly \o/ however ctrl+alt+l isn't blanking the screen like it used to it is just displaying the unlock screen is that deliberate or not do you know?12:51

ochosii think that one goes through either tray or indicator-application13:29
ochosinot sure now, i frankly haven't had a printer @home for quite a while...13:29

seb128GunnarHj, I'm not sure, open a bug about it I guess18:46
seb128no, but bregma or Trevinho might know18:46
bregmaGunnarHj, there's a file in XDG_CONFIG_DIR that gets created to prevent it from showing18:47
bregmaGunnarHj, open a bug so we can track this problem please18:48
GunnarHjbregma: Thanks! Guess I could use that to propose something that stops it in guest session.18:48
GunnarHjbregma: Will open a bug as well.18:48
seb128bregma, btw what that a design request? it feels like a first start dialog, which we decided to not do long ago ... if we revisit that it seems like we might have more things to communicate to users than keybindings18:58
seb128bregma, it also feels like that should have been through a ffe ... ;-)18:59

desrtseb128: hey.  update?21:39
=== Zachary_DuBois|A is now known as Zachary_DuBois
seb128desrt, hey, works fine from what I can tell! I was not able to trigger the issue so I can't confirm it's fixed, but computer/session works without any visible issue21:40
desrtcool21:41
desrti'll roll it into monday's release, then21:41
desrtit seems pretty 'safe' to me, fwiw21:41
desrtbut i appreciate the testing just incase of some stupid mistake21:41
seb128right, thanks21:42
desrtno.  thank YOU21:42
desrt</canadian>21:42
seb128I'm going to upload it to trusty and watch errors.ubuntu.com21:42
seb128desrt, oh, sorry, did you just accidentally bump into me? ;-)21:42
desrtseb128: that's sorry21:42
seb128I just said that!21:43

GunnarHjrobert_ancell: ping?22:05
robert_ancellGunnarHj, you can just ask a question..22:05
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Any spontaneous idea what causes the confusing behavior at bug 1292241?22:05
ubot2Launchpad bug 1292241 in unity (Ubuntu) "Using lightdm-gtk-greeter and still taken to unity-greeter" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/129224122:05
robert_ancellGunnarHj, look at lightdm.log and the config22:06
robert_ancellGunnarHj, oh, this is running Unity right?22:06
robert_ancellUnity now provides a screen lock22:07
robert_ancellI think there might be a bug where it doesn't drop it's lock sometimes when lightdm authenticates22:07
seb128robert_ancell, GunnarHj: bug #129108822:08

seb128GunnarHj, can you mark you bug as duplicate?22:09
GunnarHjseb128: Sure.22:10
seb128thanks22:10
robert_ancellseb128, have you ever looked into bug 1272977?22:11

robert_ancellSeems quite common22:11
robert_ancellaccording to errors.ubuntu.com22:11
seb128robert_ancell, yes, I think it's a dist-upgrade issue22:11
seb128e.g versions mismatch in memory and disk22:11
robert_ancelloh, the loaders?22:12
seb128or mismatch because half the update happened and triggers are called22:12
seb128yeah, from what I saw it seemed like to happen on precise to trusty updates22:12
seb128so I guess there is a side effect of doing updates in sessions...22:12
seb128I might be wrong, but it seemed the reason why the retracings bts were not good as well22:13
seb128robert_ancell, got disconnected, not sure if you replied, I was saying that the failing retraces seemed to me because the running/disk versions mismatched22:22
seb128but I might be wrong22:22
robert_ancellseb128, yeah, it looks likely22:22
seb128not sure if there is anything we can do about that22:22
robert_ancellI wondered if they were being triggered on bad files, but I think what you've said is more likely22:22
seb128out of stopping to do update in session22:22
robert_ancellit should probably check the loaders version number and stop if they mismatch22:23
apwseb128, how do i unlock unity lockscreen from the command line, as i cannot from the prompts22:38
seb128apw, you can't afaik, why can't you from the prompts?22:38
apwseb128, cause my keyboard is connected to the applications behind it22:38
seb128how do you do that?!22:39
apwseb128, for instance i am typeig this text now though the lockscreen22:39
seb128weird22:39
sarnold.. and reading the responses?22:39
apwseb128, because it is compeltely broken i assume, and insecure22:39
seb128that's helpful22:39
apwsarnold, no, i have a second machine to read it22:39
seb128wfm22:39
seb128(as helpful)22:39
apwyeah, that22:40
seb128did you do anything special to get it in this state?22:40
seb128having steps to reproduce would help to debug22:40
seb128rather than "it's buggy and insecure"22:40
seb128but otherwise, no way to unlock that I guess, go to a vt and run "unity" to replace the running one?22:41
apwi left the machine to lock and this is what i got22:41
apwuntil i can unlock it i can't reproduce without rebooting etc22:41
apwif there is nothing interesting to be gained from its current state, then i can do that22:41
seb128did you have a context menu/special ui/something open?22:41
apwbehind the lock ... hard to say22:42
apwthlugh alt-tab is "working" as in it pops the app selector22:42
apwand that normally doesn't work when menus are open does it ?22:42
seb128bregma, Trevinho, andyrock, ^ is there any info that would be useful?22:42
seb128it doesn't indeed22:42
apwmy memory is upgrading, rebooting, logining in and setting up windows, moving to another machine leaving it to lock22:43
apwnot even locking it, and coming back to this22:43
apwbut ... i wasn't looking out for it22:43
seb128k22:43
seb128well, you are the first one to report the issue22:44
apwits quite a new change too mind you22:44
seb128with is good, because it's not everyone, but less good because it means there is a bug there that might be not easy to reproduce/debug22:44
seb128well, we got like 10 bug reports about other (minor) issues22:44
seb128I've also beeing locking and testing different scenarios on several machines since yesterday22:45
seb128including what happens on idle timeout, etc22:45
seb128never got that one22:45
apwso the other issue i have with it is it is not turning off the screen, so i will have to zap it before bed22:45
seb128right, that has been report and should be easy to fix22:45
seb128reported22:45
apwseems i can interact with my rhythmbox as well, but no i can do that on the working machine as well22:46
bregmaapw, here's trick to unlocking until the window ordering bug is fixed (and the fix is in the works): select an indicator, then select the password field again22:46
apwbregma, that does indeed work22:47
bregmaif you use alt-tab while the lock screen is on, input gets redirected to one of the apps behind the lock screen22:47
bregmawhich you need to hop is not your facebook status22:47
apwbregma, or in my case irc indeed22:47
seb128bregma, I can't reproduce that, alt-tab on the lock screen gives the focus back to the password entry for me22:48
apwyeah it doesn't reproduce immediatly for me, there must be some other factor, like self locking or something22:48
seb128self locking didn't do it for today22:49
bregmaI can reproduce it by hitting alt-tab then without lifting tab, hit control-L22:49
seb128so maybe rather timing or bug or something22:49
bregmait's definitely a reproduceable bug, and I believe with a known solution22:49
seb128bregma, good to see you can reproduce, it means you can confirm the fix once we have one ;-)22:50
seb128good22:50
seb128I hope you guys plan to do a landing when that's available22:50
apwbregma, ok you are right if i ALT-tab and then without releasing ALT move to C-A-L to lock it does reproduce22:50
bregmathe downside to the new screen locker is it raises a bunch of old stacking order problems, the upside is we already know how to solve most of those22:50
seb128that sentence would be better without the "most of"22:51
seb128when we though that being in the wm would make it easier to avoid stacking issues than being outside of it...22:51
bschaeferseb128, the stacking issue is that all nux windows are DOCK type, which according to the standard, FULLSCREEN windows stack above them22:53
bschaeferseb128, sooo the WM is doing the right thing, we just want a different behavior :)22:53
xnoxapw: bregma i have a way to recover.22:55
seb128bschaefer, well, that doesn't explain alt-tab working in backend and other apps taking input while the lockscreen is displayed in front, does it?22:55
bschaeferseb128, well no, but i have a fix to hide the switcher before going into the lockscreen :)22:55
seb128xnox, recover what?22:56
* bschaefer missed half of the convo22:56
xnoxseb128: from broken lock.22:56
seb128xnox, <bregma> apw, here's trick to unlocking until the window ordering bug is fixed (and the fix is in the works): select an indicator, then select the password field again22:56
xnoxseb128: meh, not fun =)22:56
seb128;-)22:56
xnoxseb128: i did: XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 dm-tool switch-to-greeter22:56
xnoxand login again =)22:56
seb128bschaefer, so the issue is "only" that the switcher is open while the lockscreen kicks in?22:57
seb128xnox, haha22:57
bschaeferseb128, yup!22:57
bschaeferonce you're in lockscreen you cannot use the switcher22:57
* bschaefer double checks just to be sure :)22:57
seb128bschaefer, it's a bit weird, apw said it happen on a lock-on-idle for him22:57
seb128happened22:57
seb128like he was away from the box when it locked22:57
seb128so alt-tab was not likely open22:58
bschaeferseb128, i've actually never tested the lock-on-idle22:58
seb128that seems like something we should test ;-)22:58
bschaeferseb128, i can test that out, but ill get the fix for the switcher open when going into the lockscreen22:58
seb128we better release the lts with a secure lock screen22:58
seb128k22:58
bschaeferseb128, yeah i just now started using the lockscreen :)22:58
seb128let's see if some users still hit issues once those fixes land22:59
bschaefercool, i have 4 other branches with some fixes as well landing22:59
xnoxseb128: we only need secure lock screen in .1 ;-)22:59
bschaeferwith the alt+tab22:59
seb128great, let's land that22:59
seb128xnox, hehe22:59
seb128on that note, calling it a day22:59
seb128night22:59
bschaeferseb128, have a good night!22:59
