seb128that's what I do usually08:10
pittiyeah, I do that08:10
Laneyneed to do it before starting work really08:10
Laneyweekend was very nice thanks, had a parental visit08:10
seb128depend of "work"08:10

Laneydarkxst: it broke my compose key binding09:16
darkxstLaney, you are using u-s-d right?09:17
Laneyya09:17
seb128Laney, you are sure it's the update that created the issue? you already had that with the sound keys and it turned out to also be an issue with the distro version iirc?09:18
Laneyit was working on friday09:19
Laneyor else I wouldn't have been able to sign uploads ...09:19
seb128it just weird that the gnome-desktop update impacts on that09:19
darkxstright, does gnome-desktop even know about the compose key?09:27
Laneyit's gnome desktop which reads the gsettings key09:27
Laneyisn't it?09:27
Laneyorg.gnome.desktop.input-sources iirc?09:27
darkxstLaney, gnome-desktop does read it, but don't think it handles the xkb-options09:31
darkxst(Which I presume is where the compose key would fit in?)09:31
Laneyyep09:31
Laneydoes it work for you?09:31
seb128the usd keyboard plugin does09:31
Laneycompose specifically please09:32
seb128where do you set it?09:32
Laneythe rest of keyboard is fine09:32
Laneyshortcuts -> typing09:32
seb128the combo with the limited choices?09:32
Laneyyep09:32

seb128can you give me a compose sequence?09:33
darkxstLaney, it works fine under GNOME09:33

willcooketkamppeter, did you see Mopria?  What do you think?  Is it something PWG would get involved with?09:49
Laneydon't you say those dirty words in here!09:49
seb128Laney, .cache/upstart/unity-settings-daemon.log has a "failed to load plugin keyboard" due to a missing gnome_xkb_info_free_var_defs missing symbol09:50

sabdflwillcooke, a little nit but could we get a nicer icon for the desktop-next session on the login screen?10:03
sabdfljust an 8 would be fine for now10:03
sabdflin the right font :)10:03
willcookesabdfl, sure, I will look in to it now10:03
sabdflmain visual thing that's off right now is we seem to have hardcoded the number of icons across a scope. instead, we should:10:05
sabdfl * know the base-grid-units for the screen10:05
sabdfl * fix the *spacing* between the icons10:06
sabdflthat way bigger screens get more icons on tablets / desktops10:06
sabdflphones of course are fixed at 40 bgu's width10:06
sabdflas is the sidestage for obvious reasons10:06
sabdflmake sense?10:06
willcookesabdfl, yes - totally10:07
willcookeleave it with me and I'll organise it with everyone10:07

kodiak1Take pity on me a Fedora user - is there any documented guidance on using the Ubuntu installer to create an LVM-based installation that is LUKS encrypted for all LVs but not for phys partition /boot?  This is easy enough on Fedora, but I've not figured it out using the Ubuntu installer.  It might just be me simply understanding what the stated options really mean.  (Linux proficiency level:  RHEL sysadmin.)17:09
kodiak1I'm wondering if I just need to create a physical /boot, then create the LUKS crypt container as the full size of my Ubuntu installation, then create LVs within that?17:13

margaTrevinho, you said that you had a branch both with the SRU and the patch. Do you have a package with that?19:11
Trevinhomarga: np, sorry about that but the updates take some times to hit the stable release, with all the pro&cons of the case19:11
