pittiGunnarHj: hey! sorry for the delay, I basically spent the whole weekend travelling; I'm looking at your bug now10:41
GunnarHjpitti: No problem, Martin.10:47
seb128good morning desktopers12:20
darkxsthey seb128, pretty late morning for you?12:21
seb128hey darkxst12:21
seb128we are in Washington this week12:22
seb128it's 8am here ;-)12:22
darkxstheh there you go, sneaky timezone change ;)12:23
seb128indeed12:23
pittihey darkxst, how are you?12:24
darkxsthey pitti, good but tired, its probably past my bed time again12:24
didrockshey darkxst ;)12:35
darkxsthey didrocks12:35
darkxsthow are you? your in washington as well?12:35
didrocksdarkxst: yeah, back from Japan on Friday evening, stayed a day in France and in Washington now12:38
didrocksmy body doesn't really know what timezone it is in right now TBH :)12:39
darkxstdidrocks, that happens!12:41
darkxstmaybe you can come visit Ubuntu GNOME Australia next ;) that will whack your timezones!12:43
didrocksdarkxst: indeed, then a stop in south america and back home ;)12:43
darkxstdidrocks, Aus is too large though, Ali just moved here (our non-technical stuff leader) and noskcaj is here, but its like international europe type travel to catch up12:49
darkxstso you should come to melbourne and not sydnet like ali ;)12:49
didrockshehe ;) At least, you have multiple timezones and so have sane light hours, not like China where there is just one timezone for everybody.12:50
darkxstdidrocks, well perth has its own timezone12:51
darkxstAdelaide don't count, its only half an hour off ours12:51
didrocksah, indeed, those 30 minutes timezones…12:52
darkxstthen you have brisbane who refuse to have daylight savings, so they become their own time zone in summer12:54
darkxst(upsets the cows apparently)12:55
didrocksinteresting… not easy to coordinate on times when you have meetings I guess :)12:56
darkxstdidrocks, organising meeting is a bit of nightmare, but thats more due the international aspect combined with when people are free from their real jobs13:00
didrocksyeah, that part is quite hard. I remembered before I entered canonical having to hurry up in the evening or leaving slightly early for some ubuntu meetings (even local ones in Paris) or going late13:01
czajkowskialoha :) just wondering if this bug is on the radar for release this week ? bug 123556713:06

seb128Laney, how is the nautilus upload review going?14:17

seb128thanks14:18
seb128wrong tz!14:18
Laneyif not then it can be an SRU14:19
seb128czajkowski, do you use ibus? how do you trigger the bug?14:31
seb128running the binary by hand doesn't sigabrt here14:31
czajkowskiseb128: happens on start up and launching chromium14:33
seb128hum, k14:33
larsumvo: software-properties doesn't build. Do you know about that?14:35
mvolarsu: I don't - do you have a link or does it not build locally for you?14:35
mvolarsu: did you do bzr-buildpackage? or how did you build it?14:35
larsumvo: locally with bzr bd, yes: http://paste.debian.net/127738/14:36
mvolarsu: hmmm, "(setup.py:1915): Gdk-ERROR **: error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment." ? is this something in glib that changed?14:37
mvolarsu: I suspsect this comes from the python-setuptools-extra auto magic14:38
desrtmvo: more likely something in the login stuff14:38
desrtthis variable should always be set14:39
larsuI guess it's not set in whatever env python builds stuff?14:39
mvodesrt: unless its build in a environment with "env -i"14:39
desrtwe fall back to using ~/.cache/ by default14:39
desrtthis error is not coming from gdk.....14:40
desrtthere is no mention of the word RUNTIME anywhere in the source14:40
desrt(of all of gtk)14:41
mvodesrt, larsu: "env -i python setup.py build" makes it fail hard14:41
desrtmvo: can you get a backtrace on the path that causes this error to pop out?14:42
desrtbetween larsu and i we can't imagine a way that it could come from gtk/gdk/glib14:42
larsumvo: where does this error come from? setup.py doesn't have the lines that the output complains about14:42
* larsu doesn't know anything about python's setup stuff14:42
mvohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8602545/14:43
mvolarsu: its much deeper down it seems14:43
desrtwayland win14:43
mvoyeah14:43
mvomy thought exactly14:43
desrti bet gdk registers a log output function with wayland14:43
desrtand verbatim-prints the message as it comes back14:43
desrti think i heard before that wayland violates the spec a bit here14:44
desrt"If $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set applications should fall back to a replacement directory with similar capabilities and print a warning message" -- says desrt in the spec14:44
mvolarsu, desrt: do you want to take care of this or should I change connect_to_socket() to not fail hard but instead use the glib fallback?14:46
desrtmvo: already on the case14:47
mvodesrt: great, thanks14:47
larsumvo: thanks :)14:47
mvolarsu: thanks for brining it up14:47
desrtmvo: you may try setting GDK_BACKEND=x1114:47
desrtmaybe this won't fail as hard?14:48
desrt(ie: avoid running the bad code)14:48
mvodesrt: right, I would really like to fix it in either python-setuptools-extra or wayland itself as it will probably affect everything that uses the setuptools-extra stuff14:49
mvodesrt: so my inclination would be to add a patch to our wayland to use the same fallback dir that glib is using in this case14:49
desrtmvo: we need to fix it in wayland or figure out a way to avoid it in gdk....14:49
mvodesrt: or could wayland simply use glib to get this directory?14:49
mvodesrt: yeah14:49
desrtcould be as simple as early-aborting init of the gdk wayland backend if we detect this variable unset14:49
mvosounds good to me as well14:50

Trevinhomarga: hey, have you been able to save some time for checking the SRU bugs you reported?15:08
Trevinhomarga: as SRU is slowing down...15:08
larsuseb128: cool!15:08
margaTrevinho, sorry, these past weeks have been awful.15:09
margaThe new NVIDIA drivers were a disaster15:09
Trevinhomarga: oh... I'm sorry for that15:09
Trevinhomarga: anyway, if you can get these verifications done quickly, we can move to the next SRU with more lockscreen fixes (so you don't need that ppa anymore)15:17
mvolarsu: thanks for your softare-properites branch, is this something we want to upload into utopic at this point ? or is this SRU material? (my gut feeling is SRU)15:35
mvolarsu: is there a open bug for this already?15:37

GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Hi Robert!18:44
robert_ancellGunnarHj, hello18:44
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Have you noticed that lightdm trunk and the Ubuntu branch are out of sync?18:45
robert_ancellGunnarHj, the ubuntu branch is from lp:lightdm/1.1218:45
robert_ancellwhich I think is in sync18:46
robert_ancelltrunk will be used for vivid18:46
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Then I see. Thanks! :)18:46
robert_ancellGunnarHj, did you want to propose your change into utopic? We'll have to SRU it if so18:47
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: No, I supposed it was too late anyway.18:47
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: But I'll probably propose SRUs to utopic and trusty.18:48
robert_ancellok18:48
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Btw, do you use respective trunk for SRUs also?18:49
robert_ancellGunnarHj, yes18:49
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Ok, then I know.18:50
robert_ancellGunnarHj, so just do the paperwork for the Launchpad bug, propose it for the appropriate release and do a MP to backport the changes18:50
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Right, I know what's into it.18:51
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: As a starter, could you please create the tasks at bug #678421?18:53
ubot5bug 678421 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Error message for a faulty ~/.profile script" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67842118:53

larsuattente_: hey, are you around?20:40
sorenThe recent files/folders that Unity shows... Where does that come from?20:40
attente_larsu: hey20:41
attente_how's washington?20:41
larsuattente_: we miss you :)20:41
Laneylonely without you20:41
attente_:)20:41
larsuattente_: I hear I should talk to you about input methods :)20:42
larsuattente_: we've carried this patch for gtk for a long time which disables the 'viqr' im20:42
larsuapparently more vietnamese people want to use telex20:42
larsunot sure what kind of input method is selected for vi now, and where I could look20:43
larsuand also not how stuff like ibus relates to the input methods in gtk20:43
attente_oh. i don't know anything about vietnamese input. you want to drop the patch or something like that?20:46
larsuattente_: ideally, yes20:46
larsuattente_: or apply upstream if we really need it20:47
larsubut then we have an im module in gtk that isn't used by any language20:47
Laneyby default20:49
Laneypresumably you can turn it on20:49
achianghi, while looking to figure out how to make compiz/unity do window shade (title bar rollup), i pressed ctrl-alt-s just to see what might happen... how do i get that window back now? ;)22:01
achiangoh, alt-tab gets it22:01
achiangalternatively, how do i actually get window shading to work?22:01
