xnoxdarkxst: huh, autopilot totally can use either qt4, qt5 or gtk300:13
xnoxdarkxst: and it is used by ubiquity to test gtk3 frontend.00:13
darkxstxnox, I meant autopilot can't be used to test gnome-shell02:38
TheMuso`You would have to write a cluttr autopilot backend.02:43
darkxstTheMuso`, yes I am aware, never got around to looking at that. or I guess that other option would be to use atk/at-spi for testing06:09
TheMuso`darkxst: That is certainly an option, but I know that is likely to raise issues already, given there are still parts of GNOME shell that need a11y work.06:12
darkxstTheMuso`, well don't really need to test every single feature, would just be nice to have a general smoke test, since we seem to get completely broken by other changes 2-3 times per cycle06:14
pittiGood morning06:15
darkxsthey pitti06:15
pittihey darkxst, how are you?06:15
darkxstgood, still raining here though :(06:15
TheMuso`darkxst: Fair enough.06:17
=== egon_ is now known as mvo
darkxstpitti, do you have a systemd update by anychance?06:56
pittidarkxst: what kind of update?06:56
darkxstlike a 210+ package?06:56
pittidarkxst: I have a 208 package06:56
pittibut not tested it much, as it's still stuck on making 205+ compatible with systemd-shim and upstart06:57
pittii. e. translate the slice generation into cgmanager calls06:57
darkxstpitti, source available somewhere?06:59
pittidarkxst: http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/systemd_208-2pitti1.dsc07:01
pittidarkxst: that has most Ubuntu changes merged, it's just already a few weeks old07:01
darkxstpitti, thanks07:03
* darkxst will now go try and break my system ;) 07:07

Laneygoood morning08:05
darkxsthey Laney08:06
Laneyyo darkxst08:07
darkxstLaney, can you sponsor https://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/libgweather/3.12.208:09
Noskcajplease08:09
Laneyif that's a merge then the version is wrong08:10
Laneyshouldn't be 0ubuntu108:10
Laneyand yes, sure, see #ubuntu-devel in 5 seconds:08:10
Laneyoh I see debian only has .108:10
Laneywant to update it there first?08:11
NoskcajLaney, I'd rather not wait 6 months for it to be uploaded. pkg-gnome rarely sponsors stuff08:11
Laneywhat about pkg-laney08:12
darkxstNoskcaj, pkg-laney should be quicker than pkg-gnome!08:14
NoskcajI'll go and put it in pkg-gnome now08:15
Laneyanyway I'll not get distracted by doing that update just yet08:15
Laneybut if you put it in there sure08:15
Laneyfirst I need to restart my vps to get the moar rams that I bought over the weekend08:15
Laneybrb08:15
Noskcajnow = after i download all of pkg-gnome svn08:18
darkxstNoskcaj, right, maybe I will join pkg-gnome, after they switch to git ;)08:20
Laneygood, that worked08:24
Noskcajdarkxst, You can take my place then. git is such a pain08:28
darkxstNoskcaj, why? git is good!08:32
=== bigon_ is now known as bigon
* darkxst suggests Noskcaj should spend the school holidays learning git and C ;)08:41
Noskcajdarkxst, I probably should.08:46
NoskcajI'd started trying to learn vala, but it lack any docs08:48
NoskcajI'll look into C i guess, i'd came along the idea of merging back all of ubuntu's changes to pkg-gnome, but it seems like too much work to bother08:51
LaneyI usually just take stuff across when I'm updating for some other reason08:51
Laneye.g. if you're doing libgweather now, take whatever you can08:51
darkxstNoskcaj, vala is more or less c#, but nicely integrated with gtk08:57
darkxstNoskcaj, start with C, once you get that you will more or less be able understand what is going on in other other languages08:59
Noskcajok08:59
darkxstwell except for python09:00
NoskcajI'll start learning C tomorrow. (need dota + sleep tonight)09:00
darkxstdota? did valve buy you out?09:23

darkxstLaney, guess you are busy piloting but can you test of my displayconfig thing again after?10:02
Laneydarkxst: yeah hoping to get to that again today10:02
Laneydid you update the u-* branches?10:03
darkxstLaney, only on the ppa,10:03
Laneyalso should I try 3.10 or 3.12?10:03
Laneyoh if it's all there, nice10:03
darkxstLaney, 3.12 is fine apart from https://code.launchpad.net/~darkxst/unity-settings-daemon/xkb/+merge/22491910:04

Laneynew branch> bzr push --overwrite the original one I think10:05
=== lool- is now known as lool
darkxstLaney, probaly, why I dislike bzr!10:06
Laneyyou'd have to force push with git too, no?10:07
darkxstLaney, git thinks rewriting public history is a bad idea!10:08
Laneysame here, that's why you have to give a flag10:08
Laneybut it's alright to do this in your working branches until they're merged in10:08
LaneyIMO10:08
darkxstLaney, sure, and rebasing patch sets under git is much better in git, than bzr IMO10:10
Laneyyes, rebasing is one area in which git wins10:10
LaneyI'm just suggesting for this merge request that a force push is appropriate. :)10:10
larsuya, git allows this as well "push -f", but servers can be configured to refuse force pushes (gnome's does for example)10:10
larsuyou can still get around that of course10:11
larsuand I agree with Laney, it's totally fine for feature branches10:11
Laneyhey larsu!10:12
larsuhi Laney :)10:13
larsuhow was your weekend?10:13
Laneyvery nice thank you10:13
darkxstLaney, ther you go, fixed10:14
Laneywent up north to visit parents - record shop (& discovered it was stockton-on-tees pirate day when there were pirates singing sea shanties in store), walks on the beach and up on some hills10:14
darkxstnow if you can fix our weather down south, I will be forever grateful ;10:15
larsuLaney: sounds great!10:15
Laneyhey, you've got to let us have our turn with the sun for a bit10:15
Laneyit's only fair!10:15
Laneylarsu: how was yours?10:15
larsurelaxing :)10:16
larsuwent to a party with dholbach, walked around an art festival in the city10:16
larsuand hung out in a park by the river10:16
Laneydholbach, party, relaxing10:17
Laneydoes not compute10:17
larsuthe party wasn't that relaxing (but a lot of fun)10:17
Laneyat least in my mental image of these parties :P10:17
Laneyaw man he's not in here to be trolled10:17
larsuI think he gave up on this channel a while ago :(10:18
Laneyalso I've been reading too many blogs about living cities10:20
Laneykept noticing and being annoyed about the massive roads leading right into city centres and shitty pedestrian facilities10:20
larsutotally agree10:21
larsuI'm vaguely hopeful that car sharing / driverless cars will fix this to an extent10:21
darkxstLaney, then build some single track for you and your bike ;)10:22
Laneythat'd be nice10:22
Laneycurrently if there would be any amount of design required then the lane just gives up and dumps you in the road10:22
Laneyhttp://aseasyasridingabike.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/do-you-hate-humans-take-it-out-on-them-through-design/10:23
darkxstLaney, we recently got 'copenhagen' lanes for bikes in the city10:23
darkxstend results car-dooring10:24
LaneyHAHA yes10:24
Laney"go dutch" is a slogan here10:25
LaneyI think any Dutch person would be insulted by what's done under that banner10:25
darkxstLaney, I don't think there are too many dutch here to get offended!10:26
Laney:P10:26
darkxstqould be a few though10:26

gatoxlool, hi, i don't know if you are the right person to ping... but i know sergiusens was working on getting the payui click into the image, the click is already in the store... but i see the click is not in the image yet... do you know who could take care of that13:36
gatox?13:36
loolgatox: hmm sergiusens was adding clicks to the image in the past; I have to remember where the list is13:45
loolgatox: I think we used to go through http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/click_packages/click_list13:45
loolgatox: albeit I'm not sure the full list is installed; it might just be an index13:45
loolgatox: this might have to go through livecd-rootfs, not sure13:46
loolgatox: livecd-rootfs/live-build/ubuntu-touch/hooks/60-install-click.chroot could be what you are looking for?13:47
loolgatox: so yeah, apparently click_list is the way to go13:48
loolgatox: this is probably a cjwatson thing to get it listed there, or others in ~ubuntu-archive13:48

Laneyhmm16:08
Laneythe reason that g_desktop_app_info_new_from_filename is failing is because the Exec lines are referencing executables that can't be found16:08
Laneyrelative paths to binaries in private click package directories16:09
desrtLaney: there's no such thing as relative paths in desktop files...16:14
desrtalthough it's been discussed...16:15
Laneysays who?16:15
desrtsays the fact that it's not in the spec and not supported by the implementations16:15
Laneywhat's a spec? :)16:15
desrtand what's an implementation, too, i suppose :)16:16
LaneyI think these things actually get launched by this ubuntu app launch wotsit16:16
Laneywho knows what that does16:16
desrtsomething with urls, i think16:17
desrt:)16:17
* desrt revives prefers_app_menu() patch16:18
Laneymaybe I should just treat these as key files...16:18
desrtor write to xdg list about getting the spec changed16:18
desrti know approximately three people who would probably agree with you16:18
desrttwo of them because they're in this channel and one of them because he requested the same thing16:19
