| * achiang is having a hell of a time trying to programmatically add an icon to the Unity launcher on a freshly installed 14.04 system, wonder if anyone can help | 08:03 | |
| achiang | this is for an already-existing user, not a brand new user | 08:03 |
|---|---|---|
| achiang | my process looks something like: scp foo.desktop remote:/tmp... then on remote: sudo desktop-file-install /tmp/foo.desktop | 08:04 |
| achiang | next step, scp over my 99-foo.gschema.override to remote:/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas, where the override file has: [com.canonical.Unity.Launcher] | 08:06 |
| achiang | favorites=['foo.desktop'] | 08:06 |
| achiang | then: sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ | 08:06 |
| achiang | finally: rm -rf ~/.cache ~/.local ~/.config ~/.gconf and a reboot | 08:07 |
| achiang | this works *sometimes* but not reliably | 08:07 |
| achiang | would love if anyone could provide guidance | 08:07 |
| achiang | i've tried the other approach of: sudo -u <username> dbus-launch gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites "['foo.desktop']" | 08:08 |
| achiang | (that's during an ssh session) | 08:08 |

| desrt | good morning, nobody | 15:15 |
| Laney | hi desrt! | 15:20 |
| desrt | hey Laney. day off today? | 15:21 |
| Laney | ya | 15:21 |
| desrt | same :D | 15:21 |
| Laney | this was my wrapping cave | 15:21 |
| desrt | i've been working on an interesting project over the weekend | 15:22 |
| Laney | some muscle memory took me to irc | 15:22 |
| desrt | taking 'Contents', scaping the interesting parts out of it, and putting it into a fast lookup table | 15:22 |
| desrt | turns out gvdb is a pretty appropriate format for that | 15:22 |
| desrt | what would be absolutely ideal would be to get this information into the 'packages' files on the mirrors | 15:24 |
| desrt | but uh.... ya... those already take too long to download :) | 15:25 |
| Laney | i could imagine some integration into apt for this kind of data | 15:26 |
| desrt | ya | 15:26 |
| Laney | deb-contents in sources.list or something | 15:26 |
| desrt | i wrote to mvo about 'apt install c_include:libjpeg.h' | 15:26 |
| desrt | or 'apt install pkgconfig:glib-2.0' | 15:26 |
| desrt | or even 'apt install xml:http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/' | 15:26 |
| desrt | or 'apt install python2:libxml2' (finds the python module) | 15:27 |
| desrt | and of course 'apt install path:xsltproc' | 15:27 |
| desrt | which is a bit overlappy with command-not-found data, i guess | 15:27 |
| desrt | Laney: i was wondering if you had thoughts about the best way to get this information from *cough* "upstream" | 15:29 |
| desrt | where "upstream" in this case is the person/place where the package is actually built | 15:29 |
| desrt | ie: some dh script could notice that a .pc file is being installed and add some extra data to the control file that ends up in the .deb, sort of like what happens with the automatic shlibs depends | 15:30 |
| Laney | Perhaps you'd put it into the binary .changes file which can then be aggregated by the archive | 15:36 |
| * Laney takes off, ttyl | 15:37 | |
| desrt | Laney: thanks. have a good holiday. | 15:37 |
| Laney | btw I think this might overlap with an implementation of AppStream that some people (ximion?) are working on | 15:53 |
| * Laney really goes :) | 15:53 | |
| xnox | desrt: in rpm world, at .rpm package built-time such things are generated as "Provides" and stored in the .rpm file itself. Thus if one writes ${misc:Provides} and makes all packages use it..... | 16:30 |
| xnox | desrt: shouldn't be any different from the current shlibs (but that one is more complex than desired here, due to abi version tracking and symbols versioning) | 16:31 |
| desrt | xnox: we're chatting about this in #debian-devel right now, in fact | 16:32 |
| desrt | seems that there was a SoC project to do something quite similar | 16:32 |
| achiang | anyone around that can explain how to use gsettings schemas to change the Unity Launcher icons for a user, after the user already exists? | 18:41 |
| achiang | the answers on the internet don't seem to work | 18:41 |
