Laneyyo yo09:04
Laneyhappy friday09:04
didrockshey Laney!09:04
* didrocks looks at Laney to now fix mnemonics :)09:05
Laney...09:05
didrocksor rather mnemonics disablement09:05
Laneyhello to you too09:05
didrocks;)09:05
didrocksmore seriously, weechat is really unusable with this bug :/09:06
seb128hey Laney, happy friday09:06
Laneywell I'm sorry but the shortcuts work for me09:06
Laneyso I'll need some help debugging09:06
didrocksLaney: the issue is that they work, there is an issue to disable mnemonics09:07
seb128xchat-gnome ftw!09:07
didrocksand so then, they are given to the terminal app09:07
didrocksseb128: I can run my weechat on the unity8 desktop session at least! :)09:07
didrocksLaney: edit -> preferences -> enable mnemonics (uncheck)09:07
Laneyalt-a isn't even a mnemonic09:08
LaneyI have it enabled and can switch to that window09:08
didrocksyou global menu doesn't catch it?09:08
Laneyno09:08
didrocksI can't Alt + a anymore thoughor Alt + 1, 2, 3… to switch windows09:08
didrocksI guess the Alt + 1, 2, 3 is better of this new tab behavior09:09
didrocksbecause*09:09
didrocks(even with one tab)09:09
didrocksalt + a, I don't know…09:09
didrocksLaney: maybe weechat changed its behavior, can you ping here?09:09
Laneyyou want me to highlight you?09:11
didrocksjust writing something, so it seems this works09:11
didrocksI was able to switch where there was some activity with alt + a09:11
didrocksbut weechat definition of activity changed09:11
didrocks(like join/quit isn't considered as an activity anymore it seems)09:12
didrocksso alt + a is still working09:12
Laneywhy can't you just switch whenever you want09:12
Laneydid you upgrade weechat at the same time?09:12
didrocksyeah, it's been upgraded at the same time here09:12
didrocksso they just changed their behavior on alt + a, but it's working then09:12
didrocksLaney: to switch whenever I want, it's alt + 1, 2, 3…09:13
Laneyah, alt-a is something about jumping with activity09:13
didrocksyep :)09:13
didrocksquite handy09:13
LaneyI have enough windows that it's alt-1-9q-mQ-Z ...09:13
didrocksLaney: but alt 1…9 doesn't work anymore for you, right?09:13
Laneyyou have to clear them, that's my mail09:13
didrocksI stopped at the troll!09:14
* didrocks reads09:14
seb128hum09:14

seb128wth?09:15
LaneyI saw that yesterday09:15
Laneybut it's right now?09:15
didrocksLaney: I can live again! thanks a lot man :)09:15
seb128Laney, "right now"?09:15
Laneylike I started this morning and it has an icon again09:15
seb128oh, you mean it's working now for you?09:15
seb128does it still work if you run and close firefox?09:15
seb128I logged out and in and the icon was correct09:15
Laneyoh yeah09:16
seb128but it got replaced with a "?" again now09:16
Laneysecond launch09:16
Laneyalso I didn't get my tabs back ...09:16
seb128chrisccoulson!!!09:16
chrisccoulsonhi seb12809:16
Laneyfirst launch was the close/restore tabs thing, then after I quit and reopened09:16

didrockszomg infinite loop! :)09:17
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, not too bad thanks. and you?09:17
LaneyI would believe if bamf used it for icon stuff somehow though09:17
willcookepopey != popey09:17
popeyyo09:17
seb128Laney, that makes sense09:17
didrocks!== (he's a web guy ;))09:17
ubot5didrocks: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)09:17
seb128Laney, neither unity, bamf nor firefox changed09:17
* seb128 adds to the pad09:18
didrockspopey: hey, you are scheduling my udtc session?09:18
willcookemorning seb128, Laney, chrisccoulson, didrocks, popey09:18
Laneyseb128: check bamf actually does use it though09:18
Laneyhi willcooke09:18
chrisccoulsonhi willcooke09:18
popeydidrocks: just just asking when you want it09:18
Laneyyeah bamfdaemon links against gtk2309:18

popeyit's always lunchtime somewhere09:20
LaneyUOS lunch09:20
Laneyhahaha09:20
popeydidrocks: that okay?09:20
didrockspopey: perfect! do you who should I ask for the platform track?09:21
didrocksI have the bluez session there09:21
popeydidrocks: i cant see how to figure that data out. dpm may know.09:22
didrocksdpm? ^09:23
didrockspopey: thanks for scheduling :)09:23
popeynp09:26
didrocksLaney: how would you handle a state that is computed in a preinst (and then we remove that info from the system), to get it back in the postinst?09:48
didrockslike, I'm grepping a conffiles in preinst09:48
didrockssedding it to remove that whole deprecated info09:48
didrocksand want that info in the postinst (as I install an init script in the new package version) to perform an operation09:48
* didrocks will go the manual way probably09:50
Laneydidrocks: which information?09:50
didrocksLaney: basically, disabling some init scripts09:51
didrocksLaney: we have a package which only have systemd and upstart script09:52
didrocksno init09:52
didrocksconsequence, we have some bugs in the debian systemd tools09:52
didrockswhere it will restart the daemon after upgrade, even if disabled09:52
didrocksfrom discussion with the debian guys, we should ship an init script09:52
LaneyI guess save the information you need into some file in the preinst09:52
didrocksbut then, I need to disable as well the init script09:52
greybackHey folks, some advice please. Starting my machine this morning, it remains stuck at the Plymouth screen. Usual log files not giving me anything relevant. And tips/advice or ideas?09:52
didrocksLaney: that's what I was doing, like in /tmp/09:53
didrocksLaney: but then, a lovely lintian warning:09:53
=== vrruiz_ is now known as rvr
LaneyI'd probably put it alongside the file you're editing09:53
Laneybecause you know this is mounted etc09:53
didrocksoh, neat idea!09:54
didrocksdefinitively doing that :)09:54
didrocksthanks Laney!09:54
Laneythere could be some cool way I don't know about though ;-)09:54
didrocksdoesn't seem from my googling09:54
didrocksand yeah, disabling the init file that you are just installing <-> chicken and egg pb :)09:55
seb128greyback, can you ctrl-alt-f1 to a command line?09:56
seb128what did you install/change? is that vivid?09:56
Laneylarsu: hey, could you eyeball a couple of gnome-disk-utility changes for me please?09:56
Laneyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8865126/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/8865127/09:56
Laneyare we doing 'is Unity' or 'is not GNOME'?09:57
Laneyand should I try to forward it? :)09:57
seb128the second one for sure09:57
Laneyyes09:58
greybackseb128: no. Is utopic. I hadn't been fiddling at anything dodgy anyway. This is just a week old install.09:58
seb128weird :/09:58
larsuLaney: ya, let's max-width-chars ALL THE THINGS09:58
Laneythat one is obvious09:58
greybackseb128: yeah, I'm kinda stumped09:58
seb128greyback, sudo status lightdm?09:58
larsuLaney: the other one seems to have an unclosed <object> tag09:59
Laneyline 79?09:59
greybackseb128: how do I run that, if I can't switch to a virtual console09:59
seb128greyback, oh, ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't work?09:59
larsuLaney: or is this me reading the diff wrong?!09:59
LaneyI didn't reindent it because diff noise09:59
larsuah09:59
seb128greyback, shrug, you might want to ask on #ubuntu-devel, that seems early boot more than desktop10:00
larsuthen it might be ok10:00
Laneyxmllint believes me anyway10:00
larsuLaney: we do !GNOME10:00
greybackseb128: oh, I just thought of something stupid I didn't do - I switched to VT1, but didn't hit enter to actually see the console. D'oh10:00
larsuLaney: the commit message says that it adds the title bar on !Unity, but really you're adding the header bar on !Unity10:01
Laneyit should say title bar on Unity, but that's changing anyway10:03
LaneyI'll just say "Use a title bar on non-GNOME environments, keeping the header bar as a toolbar" or something10:03
larsuright10:08
larsuwant me to properly test it as well?10:08
Laneynah it's ok10:10
Laneythe only slightly weird thing is that it uses a subtitle but I'm not sure it's worth changing10:10
Laneymight as well forward and see what they say10:11
larsuwe might want to do "<main> - <subtitle>"10:13
Laneymaybe10:16
greybackseb128: figured out main issue, had typo in /etc/fstab, mountall was waiting for the device to appear, blocking everything else10:55
seb128greyback, nice that you figured it out, did you edit that file yourself or...?10:56
greybackseb128: yep10:56
greybackuser error10:56
seb128k10:56
seb128still annoying that the system doesn't cope better with those10:56
greybackseb128: true, I found bug 1096307 on the roughly same issue10:58
