| robert_ancell | RAOF, Given we know the dimensions of the output, we want to know our logical position within that box. Where we are on screen is actually up to the shell, a client just wants its windows to be logically layed out inside that bo | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| robert_ancell | x | 00:01 |
| robert_ancell | In a multi-window app, the windows are not relative to eachother, but we probably want to place them in a particular space | 00:02 |
| RAOF | What do you mean by a particular space? | 00:04 |
| RAOF | Oh, by “surface relative” I *don't* mean “moves with the parent surface” (except for special types, like popovers). | 00:05 |
| robert_ancell | I mean I have two windows in my app (both toplevel) which are rectangles in some particular space (i.e. the monitor size). They should be placed so they relate to eachother in some way (one on the left, one on the right perhaps) | 00:06 |
| robert_ancell | It would be arbitrary to say place window B relative to A | 00:06 |
| robert_ancell | They are really placed more based on the monitor than each other | 00:06 |
| robert_ancell | Decorations of course make this a bit impossible | 00:07 |
| RAOF | But people are going to be able to move those windows freely around? | 00:09 |
| robert_ancell | yeah, the shell can do what it likes | 00:09 |
| robert_ancell | It feels like relative positioning where the windows aren't linked in movement (i.e. useful for things like tooltips) doesn't give us any advantages | 00:10 |
| RAOF | Well, I can easily give you an abstract coordinate space to work in, as long as you don't mind that it doesn't map to an output. | 00:12 |
| robert_ancell | RAOF, that seems appropriate to me | 00:12 |
| RAOF | But this also seems like an API that's there because that's how it's currently done; will an app ever care that the window is 10 units to the right rather than 20 units to the right? | 00:13 |
| RAOF | ie: Would it perhaps make more sense for the API to allow the application to say “put this window to the right of that one” | 00:13 |
| robert_ancell | But do we have a good definition of what "to the right of" means? Won't that be shell dependent | 00:14 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 00:14 |
| RAOF | But that's the case with a coordinate space, too. | 00:14 |
| RAOF | And, in your example, the user can move the windows around themselves, so it's clearly not critical that the A be to the left of B. | 00:15 |
| RAOF | And if the API has _explicit_ semantics, rather than the implicit semantics of a coordinate space, shells have a better chance of doing the right thing. | 00:16 |
| RAOF | eg: I'm a tiling shell; I care not at all for your pesky coordinates! But “please put A left of B” still makes sense in the tiled world. | 00:17 |
| robert_ancell | I'd like to see the list of logical positioning | 00:17 |
| robert_ancell | RAOF, ok, but subwindows (i.e. tooltip/menus) they do use a co-ordinate space relative to their parent window? | 00:18 |
| RAOF | Right. | 00:18 |
| robert_ancell | so when can I have that :) | 00:19 |
| RAOF | After you get eventloopyness :) | 00:19 |
| RAOF | That bit shouldn't be terribly hard to do. | 00:19 |
| RAOF | Although it means fiddling with IPC, which I find endlessly awkward. | 00:20 |
| robert_ancell | RAOF, and grabs - are they just "this child surface receives all events for its relatives"? | 00:20 |
| RAOF | Of course, that's the Mir bit that you can get; Unity8 will get support for that on its own timeline. | 00:21 |
| RAOF | Urgh, grabs. | 00:21 |
| robert_ancell | yes | 00:21 |
| RAOF | Yeah, need to work out exactly what we mean by them. | 00:21 |
| robert_ancell | Client level grabs seem fairly sound to me, I can't think of another method to do them | 00:21 |
| robert_ancell | Obviously anything higher than that is not allowed | 00:22 |
| robert_ancell | You could almost implement client level grabs entirely in libmirclient I guess | 00:22 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 00:22 |
| RAOF | Is that what we want, though? | 00:22 |
| RAOF | That means we'll have different behaviour for eg: menus to what we currently have. | 00:23 |
| RAOF | Actually, you could implement client-level grabs in the toolkit. | 00:24 |
| robert_ancell | But is that just a hangover of the "X way to doing things"? As I can see all we want for menus is to get the motion events and click events inside the menu surface, and just handle clicks outside them (to dismiss them). Any other clients surface that gets an event should give some sort of focus out event which is sufficient to dismiss the menus | 00:25 |
| RAOF | That does mean that you need to click on the owner's surface in order to dismiss menus without doing something else. | 00:27 |
| RAOF | I'm not sure to what extent that's a problem. | 00:27 |
| RAOF | What I was thinking of doing is handling the dismissal for you - when clicking outside a surface of type popover (or whatever) we kill the popover. | 00:28 |
| RAOF | (And don't otherwise deliver the event) | 00:28 |
| robert_ancell | I was also wondering if that's sufficient (I think it might be) | 00:28 |
| robert_ancell | food for thought. Speaking of food... bye! | 00:34 |
| RAOF | Lunch! | 00:34 |
| didrocks | mvo: hey! tell me when you get some time to have a look at this "done" callback which is called | 06:48 |
| mvo | didrocks: now? | 06:49 |
| didrocks | mvo: sure!, so git clone git@github.com:didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center.git | 06:50 |
| didrocks | then, the easiest is to create a virtualenv I guess (as per README.md): | 06:50 |
| didrocks | $ virtualenv --python=python3 env | 06:50 |
| didrocks | $ env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt | 06:50 |
| didrocks | $ source env/bin/activate | 06:50 |
| didrocks | and finally, to get a test which pass, but with all debug infos: | 06:50 |
| mvo | didrocks: hm, ubuntu-.*-center is taken ;) and is has to be centre and its a bad omen :P | 06:50 |
| * mvo hugs didrocks - just kidding of course | 06:51 | |
| didrocks | nosetests -c log-confs/debug_test.cfg tests/small/test_requirements_handler.py:TestRequirementsHandler.test_error_in_dpkg | 06:51 |
| didrocks | mvo: ahah, really true! Totally forgot about that discussion | 06:51 |
| * didrocks hugs mvo back | 06:51 | |
| didrocks | tell me if you see the test_error_in_dpkg test running (and passing) with all debug logs printed | 06:52 |
| mvo | didrocks: its building | 06:58 |
| mvo | didrocks: ok, tests is there now and runs and passes, what should be different :) ? | 07:00 |
| didrocks | mvo: so, you should have as debug message: | 07:01 |
| didrocks | 2014-06-12 09:01:05,002 [udtc.network.requirements_handler] DEBUG: ['testpackage'] install update: 0.0 | 07:01 |
| didrocks | 2014-06-12 09:01:05,114 [udtc.network.requirements_handler] DEBUG: Install for ['testpackage'] ended. | 07:01 |
| didrocks | I wouldn't expect the last one (the install ended) | 07:01 |

| didrocks | logger.debug("Install for {} ended.".format(self._bucket['bucket'])) | 07:02 |

| mvo | didrocks: ok, give me a sec to read over the test etc | 07:07 |
| mvo | didrocks: sorry, took a while to read through this stuff (and I was distracted for a sec) | 07:28 |
| mvo | didrocks: so, why should finish_update() not be called? its done, even thought there is a error | 07:28 |
| mvo | didrocks: don't get me wrong, I'm asking so that I can improve the docstrings :) | 07:29 |
| mvo | didrocks: not to blame you that you use it wrong :) | 07:29 |
| * mvo creates a feature/didrocks branch | 07:29 | |
| didrocks | :) | 07:30 |
| didrocks | mvo: yeah, and you told error() were for errors outside of dpkg, right? | 07:30 |
| mvo | (and I should add that the name "finish_update" really sucks | 07:30 |
| mvo | didrocks: yeah, error() is called for error message that dpkg --status-fd generates | 07:30 |
| didrocks | (sounds like a method naming chosen by a French :p) | 07:30 |
| mvo | didrocks: its terrible, sometimes I whish I could have a timemachine | 07:31 |
| mvo | to talk to my former self about certain decisions :/ | 07:31 |
| didrocks | hum, so the only way is the exception that is raised… which is fine I guess, but the docstring should mention finish_update is always called unless error() is called, and that error is only for errors in… | 07:31 |
| didrocks | mvo: but that would create some time corruption! | 07:32 |
| didrocks | don't do it, please ;) | 07:32 |
| didrocks | at most, leave a paper on your former desk :p | 07:32 |
| mvo | didrocks: hm, finish_update should be always called, is that different from what you see? | 07:33 |
| didrocks | hum, let me try to see if I can raise an error() | 07:34 |
| mvo | didrocks: how does http://paste.ubuntu.com/7632429/ look? | 07:38 |
| didrocks | mvo: sounds good! | 07:38 |
| mvo | didrocks: I will look into the other issues you raised too (i.e. returning boolean states for the mark_install and friends) and provide a installprogress that logs or some file etc but one step at a time :) | 07:38 |
| didrocks | I can't reproduce the error though | 07:38 |
| mvo | didrocks: so keep the feedback coming | 07:38 |
| didrocks | mvo: will do! thanks for fixing those :) | 07:39 |
| mvo | didrocks: you can't reproduce that finish_updates() is not always called? | 07:39 |
| didrocks | no, I thought I would raise an error first for my current test case | 07:39 |
| didrocks | like testpackage and testpackage2 | 07:39 |
| didrocks | trying to install them together | 07:39 |
| didrocks | with testpackage2 breaks (I tried conflicts as well) testpackage | 07:39 |
| mvo | didrocks: it seems like the (few) people using python-apt are so used to its warts that they don't see those (obvious) problems, so your feedback is very valuable | 07:40 |
| mvo | didrocks: best is to have a breaking maintainer script | 07:40 |
| mvo | didrocks: i.e. postinst with exit 1 | 07:40 |
| mvo | didrocks: to trigger the error() method | 07:40 |
| didrocks | mvo: will create a package like that in a sec | 07:40 |
| didrocks | mvo: on the other one, shouldn't I get any feedback when I try to ask for something I can't? | 07:41 |
| didrocks | like this testpackage and testpackage2 | 07:41 |
| didrocks | it's installing happily testpackage2, unmarking testpackage for install | 07:41 |
| didrocks | before commit() | 07:41 |
| mvo | didrocks: the resolver will not allow it | 07:41 |
| mvo | didrocks: yeah, it will "fix" it for you unless you use "auto_fix=False" in mark_install() | 07:42 |
| mvo | didrocks: in which case iirc commit() will raise a exception if you try to commit a broken cache (might be worth double checking though and is probably a good test-case for python-apt itself) | 07:42 |
| didrocks | ah ok, it's not on of my use case I guess (handling that manually), but as I was trying to get some more testing… :) | 07:42 |
| didrocks | let me check with auto_fix=False | 07:42 |
| didrocks | just to see :) | 07:42 |
| didrocks | mvo: yeah, so it sent error() | 07:43 |
| didrocks | as I tried to commit a broken cache() | 07:44 |
| didrocks | (so not only broken maintainer script) | 07:44 |
| didrocks | no exception though | 07:44 |
| didrocks | ah, sorry, one exception as well | 07:44 |
| didrocks | so: | 07:44 |
| didrocks | 1. calling error() | 07:44 |
| didrocks | 2. raising SystemError | 07:45 |
| mvo | ok | 07:50 |

| darkxst | Laney, aren't you guys having a heat wave? we have winter so a somewhat mild 10-15C most days | 11:28 |
| Laney | it's about what you'd expect for june | 11:28 |
| Laney | 20-ish | 11:28 |
| larsu | darkxst: there are no fixes for header bars on windows in those patches | 11:29 |
| larsu | and there won't be | 11:29 |
| darkxst | larsu, so what is happening with headerbars then? | 11:30 |
| darkxst | apart from the usual Ubuntu GNOME wants them, and Ubuntu doesnt.... | 11:30 |
| larsu | we're keeping the old apps afaik | 11:31 |
| larsu | and make header bars work on compiz if people want to use an app without a title bar | 11:31 |
| Laney | you can do patches to make them conditional | 11:31 |
| Laney | Trevinho is fixing compiz to at least make them work properly | 11:31 |
| Laney | so for non-Ubuntu-default apps you can update them I think | 11:32 |
| Laney | I'd wait until this compiz work goes in though | 11:32 |
| darkxst | Laney, I don't think its possible to patch the apps, that properly use the GtkHeaderBar API | 11:32 |
| darkxst | in that case gtk needs to be patched | 11:33 |
| seb128 | hey, csd apps are not ok, no | 11:34 |
| seb128 | compiz/unity still don't handle them | 11:34 |
| larsu | darkxst: I looked into that and came the conclusion that it's not feasible without a big amount of work | 11:34 |
| seb128 | even when they do, we need to see how much UI regression it creates | 11:34 |
| seb128 | well, that's only about things used by default on Ubuntu desktop, universe apps ... it's up to app writers to let their users down, we can't fix the universe | 11:35 |
| * larsu remembers that quote. "We can't fix the universe" | 11:36 | |
| ochosi | darn, what good are MOTUs if they can't ^ ? | 11:36 |
| darkxst | quite a few of our core apps are in main, since you guys stole them ;) | 11:37 |
| Laney | sure you can patch things to not set a headerbar | 11:37 |
| seb128 | "stole" them | 11:37 |
| seb128 | it's rather that GNOME took over things just because they happen to be hosted on their infrastructure | 11:37 |
| ochosi | can't headerbars be shown conditionally, depending on the environment/desktop? | 11:38 |
| seb128 | but let's not start arguing over that, it's not going to be constructive | 11:38 |
| seb128 | ochosi, they can, it's "just" extra code for upstreams | 11:38 |
| seb128 | but they need to get used that they don't get and UI working on GNOME and other desktops for free | 11:38 |
| ochosi | sounds like a snippet that should be provided upstream, i guess that's always going to be the same code, no? | 11:38 |
| seb128 | they have to do work to support the different envs | 11:38 |
| seb128 | which most don't like, because it used to not be this way | 11:39 |
| Laney | no, it's modifying part of your UI | 11:39 |
| Laney | you have to put the stuff in the header somewhere else instead | 11:39 |
| Laney | which is going to be different per app | 11:39 |
| ochosi | simple: toolbar | 11:39 |
| seb128 | iit would be weird to have a toolbar with a cog icon only in it | 11:39 |
| ochosi | i actually patched our theme in xubuntu (as a test) and when you hide the "close" button (we had the double-window-border issue) it looks just like a toolbar | 11:40 |
| darkxst | seb128, I was being somewhat sarcastic with that comment, but it is a real problem! | 11:40 |
| ochosi | right, that would be weird, but often headerbars have >1 item | 11:40 |
| seb128 | darkxst, I know it is :/ | 11:40 |
| larsu | let's please not talk about this again | 11:40 |
| larsu | changing application's UI under their feet is not a good idea | 11:40 |
| seb128 | so yeah, we are making unity handle those | 11:40 |
| larsu | if they want to support different desktops, it's pretty easy to do so | 11:40 |
| seb128 | then we need to sort out the core apps issue | 11:40 |
| larsu | *how* it is done depends on the app | 11:40 |
| seb128 | the default is "do not update, we need to sort them on the case by case" | 11:41 |
| seb128 | the solutions can be | 11:41 |
| larsu | like seb128 said, it's not just a matter of converting a headerbar to a toolbar | 11:41 |
| seb128 | - changing the app/patching it | 11:41 |
| seb128 | - using a different one for Ubuntu | 11:41 |
| seb128 | - doing a fork of the current version to use in Ubuntu | 11:41 |
| seb128 | - other ideas? | 11:41 |
| darkxst | seb128, headerbar dropping window controls and traditional titlebar (for unity etc) | 11:42 |
| === ara is now known as Guest77001 | ||
| seb128 | dropping control is not enough | 11:42 |
| seb128 | you end up with having the app title in the wm decoration and then under it in a weird bar | 11:42 |
| Laney | aaaaaaaaaanyway! | 11:43 |
| seb128 | do we have a list of the apps that people want to update and are blocked on that? | 11:44 |
| seb128 | gedit is likely on that list | 11:44 |
| seb128 | nautilus | 11:44 |
| seb128 | we should have a blueprint with the list, so we can take notes for each case | 11:45 |
| darkxst | seb128, nearly all the 3.12 apps are using headbars | 11:45 |
| seb128 | I tried eog this week and it didn't seem to have those | 11:46 |
| darkxst | terminal is the only one I can think of that isnt, but that is blocked by other stuff | 11:46 |
| darkxst | right, eog might not, sushi doesnt but thats not in main | 11:46 |
| seb128 | well, so | 11:47 |
| seb128 | step 1 is to land the unity support | 11:47 |
| seb128 | then we can start testing and see how things look | 11:47 |
| darkxst | and step 2, UG runs of time again! | 11:48 |
| seb128 | better suggestion? | 11:49 |
| seb128 | "let's update, screw Ubuntu Desktop users, and see what we can do to sort it out" is not a better option | 11:49 |
| ochosi | i know flavors maybe aren't as important as unity, but it'd also screw over xfce-based flavors | 11:50 |
| seb128 | right | 11:51 |
| darkxst | seb128, no that is not an option, and you know good well, we (well mostly I) have spent a good deal of time, making things compatible | 11:51 |
| seb128 | likely some other less-used desktops as well | 11:51 |
| Laney | it's not just you | 11:52 |
| Laney | larsu did some patches last cycle | 11:52 |
| seb128 | Trevinho is adding support to unity | 11:52 |
| seb128 | so we are working on it | 11:52 |
| darkxst | Laney, I meant from the ubuntu GNOME side | 11:53 |
| seb128 | but yes, it's likely to take some time and put Ubuntu GNOME in a difficult position again | 11:53 |
| seb128 | the easiest way to avoid that is to just fork the apps that you really want to update | 11:53 |
| seb128 | the forks could be on our side | 11:53 |
| Laney | urgh | 11:53 |
| seb128 | but just have a source for the old version and one for the new one | 11:53 |
| darkxst | seb128, it totally makes no sense for us to for upstream code | 11:53 |
| darkxst | ^fork | 11:54 |
| seb128 | well, we have choise between, screw users, fork, patch, find other apps to use | 11:54 |
| Laney | decide we like headerbars | 11:54 |
| seb128 | that's the "screw users" option | 11:56 |
| seb128 | they are never going to be consistent with things using wm decorations | 11:56 |
| seb128 | nor they fit our design | 11:57 |
| darkxst | yes I get that but there needs to be a solution | 11:58 |
| seb128 | well, I listed the options I see | 11:59 |
| seb128 | neither are great | 11:59 |
| * larsu votes for "screw users" | 11:59 | |
| seb128 | not sure how much patching having different UIs required | 11:59 |
| larsu | seb128: a lot. If we want the newest apps in the gnome flavor, we should think about forking | 12:00 |
| larsu | but that's probably a lot of work as well | 12:00 |
| Laney | I don't know how fair it is to call it screwing users | 12:02 |
| Laney | it's not like we have a massive amount of consistency currently | 12:02 |
| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch | ||
| darkxst | right there are already apps in main using psuedo-headerbars like nautilus | 12:02 |
| Laney | anyway I think patching to work without headerbars is most desirable and forking would be very sad | 12:03 |
| Laney | they're like opposite ends of the spectrum to me | 12:03 |
| larsu | darkxst: nautilus uses a pseudo-headerbar? How so? | 12:03 |
| larsu | Laney: also the most work | 12:04 |
| larsu | Laney: I agree though, that would be the best outcome | 12:04 |
| darkxst | larsu, like the top toolbar minus window controls etc | 12:04 |
| seb128 | Laney, we are mostly consistent on things like menus and windows behaviours | 12:04 |
| larsu | darkxst: but it has a titlebar and a proper window menu | 12:05 |
| larsu | but yeah, this is where the line between headerbars and toolbars gets blurry | 12:05 |
| Laney | like did we screw users by including the webbrowser-app? | 12:06 |
| Laney | I think it's not very good to use that kind of term | 12:06 |
| Laney | but yeah, first we need to get the support in compiz | 12:07 |
| seb128 | Laney, yeah, I don't think the new webbrowser-app fits well on desktop atm | 12:08 |
| seb128 | sorry for the wording :/ | 12:08 |
| seb128 | would "user experience regression" be betteR? | 12:08 |
| larsu | firefox -> webbrowser app is quite a UX regression | 12:09 |
| seb128 | webbrowser-app is a user experience regression yes, and I'm not happy about it either | 12:09 |
| Laney | I'd rather you avoid trying to label it at all :) | 12:11 |
| Laney | You present a list of options and each has different positives and negatives | 12:11 |
| Laney | eventually we take a decision | 12:11 |
| seb128 | that's fair enough | 12:11 |
| Laney | It's clear that the csd fix is a prerequisite to anything which involves using that stuff though | 12:12 |
| Laney | now, /me moves on to fixing stuff :P | 12:13 |
| Laney | there's a weird problem with dbus-activation of whoopsie-preferences in u-s-s | 12:13 |
| darkxst | Laney, I have hit a couple of wierd dbus-activation bugs since mid-way through trusy | 12:14 |
| darkxst | trusty | 12:14 |
| Laney | I blame Qt or my own shitty code :) | 12:14 |
| Laney | what problems? | 12:14 |
| Laney | actually it's evan's code, not mine ;) | 12:15 |
| darkxst | no Qt, just stuff not activating | 12:15 |
| darkxst | somewhat randomly at that | 12:15 |
| Laney | it activates if I poke the interface with gdbus | 12:15 |
| Laney | so I blame our code | 12:15 |
| darkxst | but it always works when you call it with gdbus | 12:15 |
| Laney | ha | 12:16 |
| darkxst | Laney, I orginally thought it might have been related to changes in glib, but couldnt track anything down | 12:20 |
| darkxst | well not anything useful | 12:20 |
| Laney | mmm | 12:20 |
| Laney | this is totally not random | 12:20 |
| darkxst | Laney, I don't have a solid test case though | 12:21 |

| Trevinho | seb128, larsu, Laney: as I said (to larsu) the only concern I've with headerbars in unity (excluding the design point of view, which is is pointless now), is that if the LIMs are enabled, then you'll miss the application menu. But the good Larsu told me that the idea is to move out things from menubar and showing a menu-button, instead... And this would do | 15:33 |
| Trevinho | the work. | 15:33 |

| larsu | Trevinho, seb128: the application menu is merged with the menu bar when shelshowsappmenu is false | 16:23 |
| seb128 | do you still have the report in /var/crash? | 16:23 |
| nessita | seb128, I haven't removed anything from there | 16:23 |
| nessita | also, grepping on older logs in /var/log, I see things like | 16:23 |
| nessita | /var/log/kern.log.1:3710:Jun 7 22:25:03 dali kernel: [38658.518253] compiz[9565]: segfault at 81dcec90 ip 00007f41ae7c6e56 sp 00007fff8b995d20 error 6 in libdrm_nouveau.so.2.0.0[7f41ae7c5000+5000] | 16:23 |
| seb128 | larsu, that's a bit orthogonal to LIM relying on compiz decorations? | 16:23 |
| seb128 | nessita, seems like that's yet another issue, in nouveau this time | 16:24 |
| nessita | seb128, right, but I switched to nvidia this morning and had a crash as well (of course I can not confirm is the same issue) | 16:24 |
| larsu | seb128: well, if LIM is enabled and we don't have compiz decorations (because of csd), then the app will get a traditional menu bar | 16:24 |
| larsu | which has the app menu merged with the win menu | 16:24 |
| seb128 | larsu, is it? | 16:25 |
| seb128 | or are we going to "eat" the menu | 16:25 |
| larsu | if we unset the xsettings, it is | 16:25 |
| seb128 | but not have it render anywhere, because that particular window has no decoration | 16:25 |
| larsu | afaik | 16:25 |
| stgraber | seb128: it's probably the same issue, yes. We're yet to actually understand what the issue is though... | 16:25 |
| seb128 | stgraber, ok, thanks, I just wanted to make sure the duplicate status is correct | 16:25 |
| larsu | seb128: no. GtkApplicationWindow inserts a menu into the window when ShellShowsMenubar is false | 16:25 |
| seb128 | larsu, but are those settings by-app? | 16:26 |
| larsu | ah wait | 16:26 |
| larsu | right. | 16:26 |
| larsu | they aren't | 16:26 |
| larsu | so we'll eat the menus in that case :) | 16:26 |
| seb128 | right | 16:26 |
| * larsu <-- a bit slow today apparently | 16:26 | |
| seb128 | blame the heat! | 16:27 |
| larsu | this is a weird edge case, because most applications using a header bar won't have a window menu | 16:27 |
| larsu | but might have an app menu, which can be displayed in the header bar, but again only when the xsetting is false | 16:27 |
| larsu | I hate LIM | 16:28 |
| nessita | seb128, I think the crash from this morning is related to nouveau indeed, my first freeze today matches this from the kernel log: | 16:29 |
| Laney | like add it to or create a gear menu in there? | 16:29 |

| nessita | stgraber, anything I can help regarding debugging? I'm hving crashes once a day approx (not completely sure is that exact issue though) | 16:39 |
| nessita | seb128, anything you need from my /var/crash? | 16:39 |
| seb128 | nessita, clean it and ping me again next time you have a lock/issue/report, so we have a clean state to work on | 16:39 |
| seb128 | nessita, the current situation is a bit of a mix and not easy to debug | 16:40 |
| nessita | seb128, ack! | 16:40 |
| nessita | seb128, confirm you want me to run sudo rm /var/crash/* ? | 16:40 |
| seb128 | nessita, yes | 16:41 |
| seb128 | Laney, your cinnamon upload is blocked in proposed because it wants cogl15 and we are on cogl20, could you have a look to it? | 16:41 |
| Laney | seb128: my upload?!?!?!?!?!">£K$?£K4w/r.s/fs | 16:42 |
| Laney | is it blocking $stuff? | 16:42 |
| seb128 | Laney, http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#cinnamon | 16:42 |
| Laney | wasn't that blocked manually? | 16:43 |
| seb128 | Laney, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinnamon/1.7.4-2ubuntu6 has your name on it! | 16:43 |
| Laney | did it get fixed? | 16:43 |
| seb128 | Laney, I removed the tag, it didn't seem to make sense | 16:43 |
| seb128 | since that package is neither in trusty nor utopic | 16:43 |
| seb128 | but the bug mentioned is an nvidia one, I don't have hardware to try | 16:43 |
| Laney | I'm not sure it's a great idea | 16:45 |
| Laney | this has rcbugs in Debian and isn't in testing | 16:45 |
| Laney | I think we want someone to merge 2.x | 16:45 |
| seb128 | right, that sounds like a better idea indeed | 16:48 |
| Laney | I know people do want this in, but what it misses is someone looking after it | 16:48 |
| Laney | that's how it ended up out of the release | 16:48 |
| Laney | if we get that, great | 16:49 |
| Laney | hopefully it's syncable so that might just be a matter of watching bugs | 16:49 |
| seb128 | right, I noticed it because it's showing on the update-excuses list | 16:58 |
| seb128 | and it seemed desktopish | 16:58 |
| seb128 | +1 if we can sync from Debian | 16:58 |
| seb128 | it would make some happy users, without extra work from our side | 16:58 |

| robert_ancell | RAOF, Was there a reason why XI2 wasn't a new extension? Seems kind of odd to completely replace all the requests of XI1 but still live in the same extension | 23:31 |
| RAOF | robert_ancell: Versioning makes it reasonable. | 23:43 |
| RAOF | robert_ancell: There's no reason a client should do both XI v1 and XI v2 at the same time, so... | 23:43 |
| RAOF | (Except, you know, toolkits) | 23:44 |
| robert_ancell | RAOF, obviously it works fine, but it means that you drag around the legacy of XI1 forever for no benefit | 23:44 |
| robert_ancell | Perhaps it was easier to implement in xorg that way since both extensions would use the same code | 23:45 |
| RAOF | XI1 was going to hang around forever anyway. | 23:45 |
| robert_ancell | really? | 23:45 |
| RAOF | I think there have been 2 extensions removed in the history of the X server? | 23:46 |
| robert_ancell_ | I think I saw more than that, perhaps they weren't in xfree86/sorg | 23:47 |
