CaptainJewBaconHey guys, having some trouble at the moment on my asus g75vx with the brightness fn keys not working and secondly how can I get my keyboard backlight to be on once booted into ubuntu 14.04LTS02:37
Saviqmzanetti, those are not recent apps, but "core" apps, and yes, there's meant to be no header08:14
tsdgeosmzanetti: good catch on the tags, no idea where they came from, they are not even on Saviq's delete bad tags script08:14
mzanettitsdgeos: its a virus08:15
mzanettiSaviq: ack. Just wanted to make sure08:15
Saviqit *is* a virus08:15
mzanettiyeah yeah...08:16
mzanetti:P08:16
cimihi @unity08:39

cimiback from holidays - in reality I am still in italy :D08:39
MacSlowcimi, hey there... how was the vacation?08:40
cimimanaged to miss my flight08:40
MacSlowcimi, *g*08:40
cimiwas good08:40
ciminot proper holidays in exotic place but we were trying to save money this year...08:41
cimi(we stayed at my old house in Padua)08:41
Saviqok /me needs to reinstall08:42
cimiSaviq, MacSlow I'll try to be in the office tomorrow after lunch - missed my flight yesterday and had to buy a new ticket for tomorrow08:44
Saviqcimi, k08:44
cimisuch a good way to waste my money -.-08:44
cimiok let me not think about it08:44
MacSlowcimi, well that'll teach you to be on time in the future :)08:45
cimiMacSlow, or not confuse dates?08:45
cimiok I gave enough information, you can mock me for the rest of my life08:46
cimihappened to otto as well btw :D08:46
tsdgeoscimi: you're missing go-karting today!08:47
cimioooooooooooooooooooooooh fu*k08:48
cimitsdgeos, where are you guys going?08:48
tsdgeoscimi: no idea, somewhere JohnLea is bringing us to, may even be a slaghterhouse for all i know ^_^ :D08:48
MacSlowcimi, maybe you're in time for Friday-evening joining me for a test-drive in a Tesla Model S P85+... I need to show London who's boss on the streets ;)08:50
MacSlowcimi, go-kart riding will be a good training for that :)08:50
mzanettiMacSlow: carefuk: http://www.golem.de/news/tueren-geoeffnet-studenten-hacken-tesla-model-s-1407-108021.html08:51

MacSlowmzanetti, hehe... I know about that08:51
mzanetti:D08:51
cimiMacSlow, read that... I have sister coming :(08:51
cimiMacSlow, oculus rift?08:51
MacSlowcimi, not yet... my order slipped the first batch of DK2's being send out by just a few days... looks more like August08:52
mzanettiaw meeen... I wanna go go-carting too08:53
mzanettiwould also join the tesla ride... but the go-carting annoys me more :D08:53
cimiMacSlow, :'(08:53
cimiMacSlow, was so much looking forward to it08:53
mzanettitsdgeos: hey, what up with this? https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity8/removeDuplicateCheckers/+merge/22136508:53
cimimzanetti, we did a go karting engineering race in prague08:54
tsdgeosmzanetti: i'll disacrd it i guess08:54
cimicompany one08:54
cimiI arrived second :)08:54
tsdgeosmzanetti: it's minor and we can't seem to reach an agreement :D08:54
tsdgeosmzanetti: i have https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity8/easier_headerless_categories/+merge/227872 for you08:54
MacSlowcimi, yeah me too08:55
mzanettitsdgeos: ok, I'll review again if you promise not to completely change it again afterwards :P08:55
tsdgeosmzanetti: it does the same as yesterdays branch (i.e. fix the issue with empty headers and stuff) but it a much easier (codewise) way08:55
cimiCTO won but obviously because was shorter and slim08:55
mzanettihaha08:55
tsdgeosmzanetti: yeah Saviq's fault :D08:55
mzanettipff... it *is* always him08:55
tsdgeosmzanetti: it really makes more sense this way, the old way we were making the LVPWH do two things with null section headers and it was confusing and convoluted08:56
mzanettitsdgeos: sure, no worries...08:56
tsdgeosmzanetti: and with this one i kind of don't need a test in lvwph since there's no change in it08:57
tsdgeoswhich is good08:57
mzanettiyeah, seems quite simple08:57
mzanettitsdgeos: well, nitpicking I could say you should test it in testGenericScopeView08:58
mhr3tsdgeos, https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity-scope-click/overview-icons/+merge/22773108:58
tsdgeosmzanetti: sure08:58
tsdgeosthat'd be nitpicking ...08:59
tsdgeos:D08:59
tsdgeosbut it'd be like testing qml height works08:59
mzanettitsdgeos: but not sure... if you already have some mock without a header, you could just add some small check for margins == 008:59
tsdgeoswhich imho is a bit overkill08:59
mzanettiyeah.. I tend to agree08:59
tsdgeosmhr3: package is broken, departmentsdb wants to install a file that collides with regular scope-click09:05
mhr3tsdgeos, crap, can you pastebin the error?09:06
tsdgeosmhr3: give me a sec09:06
tsdgeosmhr3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7841018/09:07
mhr3tsdgeos, thx, try to just --force it, i just screwed debian and put the same file into two different pkgs09:08
tsdgeosmhr3: ok09:10
tsdgeosmhr3: need to recompile some stuff, to make sure it's all clean09:10
tsdgeoswill check it works asap09:10
mhr3tsdgeos, otherwise, i pushed a fix to the branch, jenkins should build it soon... (~hour)09:10
tsdgeosmhr3: i think you forgot some files in the overview branch of scopes-shell09:12
tsdgeosdoesn't build anymore09:12

mzanettiSaviq: heh10:37
mzanettiSaviq: so... question: there's some code that does dash.setCurrentScope("clickscope", animate, false)10:38
mzanettiSaviq: I'm afraid we need IPC between shell and dash10:38
Saviqmzanetti, yes, we do10:38
Saviqactually let me confirm10:38

trijntjeHi all, I was wondering why the ability to interact with the top bar was removed from unity10:41
trijntjefor example, you used to be able to type shutdown or the name of the wifi network in the HUD, and you would shutdown the pc or connect to the network10:41
cimiSaviq, ^^10:44
cimi do we have a list of UI bugs to tackle during the sprint?10:44
cimicurrently going around the UI and see changes during my vacation10:45
cimiand things not yet fixed10:45
tsdgeosmhr3: do you know if there's any scope returning attributes in cards already?11:05
mhr3tsdgeos, no, attrs weren't even specced fully11:05
mhr3tsdgeos, unless saying that it's an array of dicts with "value" keys is enough11:06
mzanettiSaviq: err..... how do I launch an app? (<- stupid question of the day)11:07
tsdgeosclick on it!11:08
mzanettiSaviq: Qt.openUrlExternally("appid://...") doesn't seem to do11:08
mzanettitsdgeos: ^11:08
Saviqmzanetti, any interesting error?11:10
mzanettiSaviq: I think I need to s/_/\//11:10
Saviqmzanetti, right, yup11:11
mzanettiSaviq: should I really do that in QML now?11:11
Saviqmzanetti, there's no other way for you to launch apps otherwise, so I'd say yes11:11
Saviqmzanetti, it's a simple .replace("_", "/") so...11:12
mzanettiSaviq: lol11:12
mzanettiwait till legacy apps come im11:12
Saviqmzanetti, *or*11:12
mzanettior we fix that stuff in the lower layers?11:12
Saviqmzanetti, don't we get those from the click scope directly?11:12
mzanettiyes11:12
Saviqlike uri:/// ?11:12
Saviqerm11:12
SaviqI mean in the uri role11:12
mzanettiwhy do we even have 5 different formats11:12
mzanettino, its just the appid11:13
mzanetticom.foobar.app_app_0.111:13
mzanettior "camera-app"11:13
Saviqmzanetti, in uri? stoppid :|11:13
* Saviq tries and find out why11:13
mzanettiSaviq: we have this: scope.activateApplication.connect(activateApp);11:14
mzanettiSaviq: and activateApp() is called with a param appId11:15
Saviqmzanetti, please file a bug against unity-scope-click to return proper uris11:18
mzanettiSaviq: I guess we need to land that in the same silo as the dash-as-app stuff though...11:19
Saviqmzanetti, or before11:26
mzanettiSaviq: I think that would break trunk11:26

Saviqmzanetti, not if we do it proper11:27
Saviqmzanetti, I mean yeah, we need changes in unit8y11:27
Saviqmzanetti, but those can happen before dash as app11:27
mzanettiSaviq: well, yeah, if we're adding workarounds to unpack it again11:28
mzanettiwhcih I don't think makes much sense tbh11:28
Saviqmzanetti, no, we'd just need to check whether it's application:/// or appid:/// and put it through dispatcher already11:29
mzanettiah, ok, yeah11:30

polypI've just had a fantastic idea for the unity launcher bar. Is this a good place to suggest it?12:17
mzanettipolyp: hmm.. I guess a bug report for ubuntu-ux would be the best place. what's the idea?12:21
polypBasically - if yuo have a lot of apps in the launcher bar on the left it can be difficult to sift through them. My idea is to sort the icons based on how frequently they are used . Simple as that.12:22
polypmost recently used apps at the top going down in descending order12:22
polypperhaps the option to "stick" certain ones at the top12:23

tedgmzanetti, So I was looking at the "dash-as-app" branch. Do you guys plan to start launching the dash with UAL?15:22
Saviqtedg, probably not, it needs to respawn and all15:24
Saviqtedg, OTOH maybe we could? we should probably talk to you how to do it best15:24
tedgSaviq, I think probably a standard Upstart job is best, it's not *really* an application in the traditional sense.15:25
Saviqtedg, I agree15:25
tedgBut I was more curious how I could get its PID.15:25
tedgIn that sense, I already have a function in UAL for it :-)15:25
* tedg was being lazy15:26
Saviqtedg, so yeah, you'll probably end up with `initctl status unity8-dash` or so15:26
tedgK, gonna make me write code. I see how it is.15:26
tedg:-)15:26
mzanettiok... upstart job it is15:30
Saviqmzanetti, were you thinking anything else?15:31
* Saviq *could* be fine with UAL, if we could make it respawn...15:32
mzanettiSaviq: not really. just wasn't entirely sure yet and wanted to have another with you about it15:32
Saviqbeer?15:32
mzanettibeer?15:32
mzanettiSaviq: launching with UAL wouldn't require us to do changes in qtmir15:33

mzanettibut yeah, no idea about the respawning15:33
Saviqmzanetti, yeah, that's why I'd like it there15:33
