detlyI've just added the Gnome 3 staging PPA so I can try out 3.12. I found that it mostly worked fine, but gnome-control-center and gnome-settings-daemon can't be upgraded without removing unity altogether, which means keybindings and some other things don't work. Is that a known issue? Is there some other PPA I need to add? Or should I just be patient?04:18
pittiGood morning04:36
sarnoldhey pitti :)04:37
pittihey sarnold, how are you?04:37
sarnoldpitti: pretty good, a few hours off for dinner and taking the dog for a walk helps :)04:38

seb128hey willcooke larsu didrocks07:39
pittihey seb12807:47
pittimorning willcooke and larsu, too!07:47
seb128lut pitti, wie gehts?07:47
willcookehey pitti07:48
pittiseb128: gut, danke! ich hacke wieder an autopkgtest :)07:48
seb128pitti, schön ;-)07:49
larsuseb128: ooh, umlaut. 10 German spelling points for you ;)07:52
seb128larsu, :-)07:52
didrockslarsu: you do use ¨ as umlaut btw, there is no special character? (as umlaut, IIRC, are more lines than dots)07:53
pittididrocks: how do you mean "more lines"07:56
larsudidrocks: no, they're dots07:56
didrockspitti: larsu: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umlaut#mediaviewer/File:U_umlaut_en_Suetterlinschrift.png07:56
didrocksthey are more like 2 vertical lines here than dots, for instance07:56
pittididrocks: it's exactly like the trema in other languages (like French), except that it's not being used as a trema (German abolished the trema looong ago), but as changing the pronounciation of a vowel to an umlaut07:56
pittididrocks: ah well, that's Suetterlin .. i. e. the written German which was pretty much abolished in the mid-20st century07:57
larsudidrocks: ah, sometimes people use lines when writing (but it's fairly uncommon these days)07:57
pittididrocks: but even modern pupils write the "dots" something more akin to "07:57
larsuI don't think I've ever seen a typeface with lines instead of dots07:58
didrockslarsu: pitti: ok, I learnt it that way actually, hence my question :)07:58
pittididrocks: wow, you learned Suetterlin? Or just writing the umlauts that way?07:58
didrockspitti: just writing the umlauts that way07:58
pittididrocks: yeah, in handwriting it's all very sloppy anyway, some people even just write a short horizontal bar, or "07:58
seb128it's easier to draw a small line with a pen than to do a dot07:59
pittiyeah, dots with a clasic feather were a bit awkward07:59
didrocksok, but for non handwriting is always using dots, got it, thanks!07:59
larsupitti says that like he's 200 years old and used to write with a feather regularly07:59
seb128lol08:00
didrocksahah :)08:00
pittilarsu: well, at least I'm onld enough to have tried :)08:00
pitti<rusty voice> back in my time, buddy, we wrote 6510 assembler!08:00
* pitti pats his trusty old C6408:00
pittithat was almost like writing with a feather that leaked all the time :)08:01
* pitti aime les vendredis08:01
larsuHAHA08:02
* larsu brings pitti a blanket, a hot water bottle, and a cup of tea08:03

pittidear BTS, please send me my flights already08:04
larsu;)08:04
seb128pitti, when do you fly back?08:04
pittiseb128: I was going to take the Friday 22:00 one08:05
seb128pitti, not fancying taking an extra day and staying until monday? it's likely some of us are going to do that08:05
pittiseb128: until Monday? that's three extra days then08:05
pittiseb128: but yeah, I can consider that as well08:05
pittibut I'd go back on Sunday afternoon/evening then08:06
detlypitti: you really have an old C64?08:06
seb128pitti, well, that's one day off08:06
seb128pitti, vac days speaking08:06
pittiseb128: Sat and Sun? (with the Sat 22:00 flight)08:06
pittiseb128: ah, that way08:06
seb128pitti, Sun 22 you mean?08:06
* larsu would like to stay around after as well08:07
pittidetly: yeah, my first own computer, got it in 1991; before that I went to the university once a week to learn BASIC on these dreaded GDR clones of the old PCs08:07
seb128pitti, well, I'm probably going to fly back on monday evening, 1.5 days seems a bit short to visit08:07
pittiseb128: err, yes08:07
seb128better than nothing08:07
seb128but if you want to join for sat/sun that would be great ;-)08:07
seb128didrocks, larsu, desrt are likely to stay for those days as well08:07
pittiseb128: yeah, but I guess after two full weeks of conferences/sprint I'll be looking forward to getting home again08:07
* willcooke spent a lot of time in DC. Once you've done the Smithsonian, the Air & Space museum and walked past the white house - you've done DC08:08
seb128pitti, oh, right, you are away the week before as well08:08
pittiseb128: ok, good to know; I'll follow up with BTS08:08
didrockswillcooke: which is taking how long approx?08:08

larsuwillcooke knows it's Friday08:11
willcookeThe Air & Space museum is great, and not far from the hotel I think08:11

pittiseb128: ok, Sunday there's a direct United flight at 22:55 -- perfect08:13
pittiseb128: and that way it's even 400 EUR cheaper..08:13

seb128pitti, ;-)08:13
* seb128 hugs pitti08:14
didrocksseb128: so, you are going to take the same than pitti?08:14
pittiseb128: so we'll have pretty much two full days08:14

seb128didrocks, I don't know, going to check out with you/larsu/desrt, I might stay until monday if some others want to do that08:15
seb128didrocks, I think I'm going to wait monday to email BTS anyway08:15
seb128so I've the w.e to think about it08:15
larsusame here08:16

didrockssounds like an *excellent* plan :)08:26

didrocksfginther: once you are around: hey! I think you have seen that ps-trusty-desktop-amd64-1 is down, can you put it online again? Then, I'll have 2 questions for you as you have more jenkins expertise than I (around groups not being taken into account and dbus-launch which fails, where we solved it for autopilot IIRC).11:52
didrocksfginther: I'm out for some exercise, will be back then :)11:53

seb128kenvandine, it's little test to approve its own mps when others added things to fix :p14:02
seb128test->taste14:02
seb128kenvandine, hey btw, happy friday ;-)14:02
kenvandinehaha14:03
kenvandinemisfired in changing it to WIP :)14:04
seb128kenvandine, ;-)14:04
kenvandineseb128, i found my problem with the "Not yet" button...14:07
kenvandinethe dialog is getting fired multiple times14:07
kenvandinegetting the onSystemUpdateDownloaded signal several times,should be easy to fix14:07
kenvandinethen my branch will be ready14:07
kenvandineseb128,  i am a bit puzzled by this... onSystemUpdateDownloaded it does this14:08
kenvandineroot.updatesAvailable -= 1;14:08
kenvandinewhy decrement that number on the signal?14:08
kenvandineand right now it gets decreased to many times14:09

fgintherdidrocks, bon jour!  I've recovered ps-trusty-desktop-amd64-1. We may have to do a few tweaks to make it reliable. It's a bit hit or miss on coming up cleanly14:54
didrocksfginther: thanks for restarting them :)14:54
didrocksahah, was just pinging you :)14:54
didrockssounds good :)14:55
didrocksfginther: do you have some time (maybe a hangout?) so that we can fix my latest blockers?14:55
fgintherdidrocks, do you have time later today? I'm trying to address a problem with the mako images that is blocking all MP testing14:57
didrocksfginther: I'm still around for a couple of hours14:58
fgintherdidrocks, ok, I'll ping you when I get things settled14:58
didrocksfginther: perfect! good luck :)14:58
qenghoDoes anyone here use any general interface testing system on desktop that doesn't assume lots about the UI toolkit?15:03
qenghoI use sikuli in chromium, but it was broken*, and no one else noticed, so I wonder if there's something better.15:04
qengho* https://code.launchpad.net/~cmiller/ubuntu/utopic/sikuli/lp1313398/+merge/23340715:04
qenghoBy "general interface testing", I mean program automation, with some assertions.15:05
didrocksqengho: python unittests is quite great for that (if the assert are text/content only). I'm using it with subprocesses in some cases15:14
qenghodidrocks: It's not text. Think of clicking buttons on screen.15:20
didrocksqengho: ok, I guess people would say autopilot, but I doubt they have chromium bindings15:20
qenghoRight, I don't want to be too friendly with the toolkit.15:21
balloonsqengho, buttons in chromium or web stuff?15:21
balloonsif "web stuff", selenium15:22
qenghoballoons: Well, buttons, to verify (e.g.) that webapps options is in the settings screens.15:22
qenghoAlso, some very simple web-browser-starts-and-can-reach-web-pages too.15:23
qenghoballoons: I'm also thinking about a fontconfig bug now in Chromium. I want to verify that asking for CSS typeface falls back to what we expect it to.15:24
qenghoBasically, I love "sikuli", but I hate its dependence on Java.15:25
didrocksqengho: you need some image recognization tools, seems like sikuli is still the FLOSS leader though15:25
qenghoThank you, d.15:26
balloonsqengho, you could also use xpresser if you want image rec. it uses python15:26
balloonsthat said I would avoid image recognition based testing if there is ANY other option15:27
qenghoballoons: Agreed. At least sikuli lets me use it's OCR voodoo and its fuzzy matching dark-magick.15:28
balloonsit's probably just opencv15:29
fgintherdidrocks, want to chat now?15:56
didrocksfginther: sounds great!15:56

Trevinhomarga: hey!16:40
Trevinhomarga: so, I've made a ppa with some changes that might solve the "missing input field" issue. Could you give this to the affected people to see if it solves?16:40
Trevinhohttps://launchpad.net/~3v1n0/+archive/ubuntu/unity-tests16:40

margaThere's a growing list of angry users, they'll be happy to test it :)16:41
Trevinhomarga: packages should be published on the repo in few minutes16:41
Trevinhomarga: mh, ok, we'll try to make them smile then ;)16:42
Trevinhomarga: that repo is just a first round btw, with cleanest fix we have... If that fails, I'll go with brute force ;)16:43
