darkxstseb128, Laney, didrocks pitti: curious if was to apply for -desktop team would I have your support now?06:51
didrocksdarkxst: I didn't sponsor a lot of your work, so would let other voting, but I guess you mostly shall apply :)06:54
darkxstdidrocks, true, you probably spend more time reviewing our MIR06:58
darkxsts06:58
didrocksyep ;)07:01
SURESHCan any one tell me how to start contribute to Ubuntu07:31
didrocksSURESH: hey, I would start reading this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu07:33
didrocksthere are many ways of contributing to ubuntu and I guess most of them are listed there07:33
larsuochosi: just attached a patch to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74218108:11
ubot5Gnome bug 742181 in Theme ""show images in menus" causes weird padding outside GNOME" [Minor,Unconfirmed]08:11

didrockshey ochosi, LocutusOfBorg108:12
ochosihey didrocks08:12
ochosi(and everyone else)08:13
didrockshappyaron: hey! do you mind changing the status of the bugs on the fcitx MIR? Most of them are still incomplete, while you assigned them to me, so it's not clear if those are ready or still needs work08:20
happyarondidrocks: how should I change them?08:21
didrockshappyaron: NEW or Confirmed are fine, just avoid Incomplete and Fix committed :)08:23
ochosiseb128: whenever you're around and have a minute for xdg-utils, lemme know08:23
happyarondidrocks: IIRC the only fix committed was set by you, but I'm not sure what does it mean08:23
happyaronI can change other ones08:23
ochosiseb128: basically i wanna check whether you're ok with pulling the latest version from upstream and whether i can be of any help with that08:24
ochosiseb128: xdg-screensaver, to be exact08:24
didrockshappyaron: right, that one is fine, I validated it. I'm just speaking about the "incomplete" ones that needs to be changed08:24
happyaronok08:24
didrocksthx!08:24
happyarondidrocks: done, :)08:31
didrocksthanks!08:32
happyaronI should thank you, :)08:33
mlankhorstok transfer functions fixed hopefully08:40
mlankhorstwillcooke: I should have a less corrupt Xmir for arm soon hopefully08:54
willcookemlankhorst, nice!  Thanks!08:54

Laneyhey hey09:04
darkxsthey Laney09:08
didrockshey Laney!09:08
Laneydarkxst: I think so, some time ago I would have been worried that you would forget Ubuntu specific stuff, but seems better now09:09
Laneyhey darkxst & didrocks ;-)09:09
Laneygood weekends?09:09
darkxstLaney, no bad weekend, dug 12m of trenches some of that in the rain ;(09:09
darkxstnext weekend will be better! off to the mountains09:10
Laneysounds like punishment for a crime09:10
darkxstLaney, no, but need to get power, water and sewer into shed09:10
darkxstand cheaper for me to dig, than the plumber doing it09:12
didrocksLaney: was good, yeah09:12
didrocksyourself?09:12
Laneynot bad thanks09:13
Laneylunch at the cafe down the road (in a converted shipping container, cool!), painted the kitchen again, climbing, friends for dinner09:13
* darkxst thinks Laney should come to Arapiles ;) 09:14
* Laney looks it up09:16
darkxstLaney, it is basically the climbing mecca for trad atleast, in austrailia09:17
darkxstand perhaps the world?09:18
darkxst2000 climbs withing 10mins walk from camp ;)09:20
Laneynice09:21
LaneyI've only done trad a couple of times09:21
Laneysport a few more, but usually bouldering09:21
mlankhorstbah another reason for the transfer functions to fail..09:27
mlankhorstMesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in glReadPixels(invalid format GL_ALPHA and/or type GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE)09:27
seb128ochosi, yeah, getting the most recent version/merging with debian would be useful, if you want to do it please feel free09:43
ochosiseb128: right, my packaging/syncing skills are next to 0, i could probably pull in the script from debian and propose that as a merge-request09:44
ochosiif that would be helpful09:44
seb128ochosi, well if you don't feel like doing the merge you can submit the change you need only and let the merge to somebody else09:44
ochosiright, i thought that maybe it's easier to get the change once the sync is done09:46
larsuLaney: morning!09:47
larsuLaney: what's the gtk situation? The one in vivid seems different from the one in ~ubuntu-desktop09:47
* larsu wants to MR some patches09:48
ochosiseb128: we could start with dropping this superfluous patch that duplicates code: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/xdg-utils/vivid/view/head:/debian/patches/xserver-blanking.diff09:48
ochosithat was seemingly merged already but is still carried as a patch09:49
Laneylarsu: looks the same to me09:50
Laneylaney@vivid:~/dev/canonical/packaging/desktop/gtk+3.0/build-area/archive$ debdiff ../gtk+3.0_3.14.6-0ubuntu1.dsc gtk+3.0_3.14.6-0ubuntu1.dsc dpkg-source: warning: extracting unsigned source package (/home/laney/dev/canonical/packaging/desktop/gtk+3.0/build-area/gtk+3.0_3.14.6-0ubuntu1.dsc)09:50
Laneylaney@vivid:~/dev/canonical/packaging/desktop/gtk+3.0/build-area/archive$09:51
Laneyoho, maybe I didn't push09:51
Laneytry that09:51
seb128ochosi, does that create any issue?09:51
ochosiseb128: no, it just removes code that is in the bash script twice. i'll send you the MR in a minute then you'll see...09:52
seb128ochosi, yeah, I saw it when we discussed it previous cycle09:52
seb128it just that it was not important enough to justify an upload by itself09:52
seb128which is probably still the case09:53
ochosiyeah09:53
seb128we should clean that out if we upload for any other reason though09:53
seb128and yes please mp it, so it's tracked09:53
ochosibut it's important enough to merge it in imo09:53
ochosiand i'll have at least one more MR for xdg-screensaver this cycle09:53
ochosi(light-locker gained fd.org screensaver dbus support)09:53
seb128right09:56
ochosiseb128: i hope it's ok that i directly put you down as a reviewer09:56
seb128sure you can, but ubuntu-sponsors would be better09:56
seb128well, I can approv that one, not sure if I've slots for merging xdg-utils this week09:57
seb128so sure, I can approve, I'm maybe not going to upload though09:57
ochosiok, that'd be fine09:57
ochosii'll take a look whether there's more in upstream09:58
seb128thanks09:58
larsu*giggle* "Since there are no words, ..."10:25
larsuLaney: probably this is what he meant (saves a compare and is more consistent with the rest of the function)10:28
LaneyI guess so10:29
Laneytook a few minutes to work it out10:29
larsuya, he could have been a bit more verbose on that...10:31
Laneyah well10:32
Laneygrr10:44
Laneychromium keeps falsely (I think) claiming that tabs have gone unresponsive10:44
Laneyit pops up a dialog to tell you this10:44
Laneyanyone else seeing something like that?10:44
CimiWellark, hey! hello :)10:47
willcookeLaney, hmm, I saw a couple of those over the weekend10:51
Laneyhappens all the time10:51
Laneyif I pick 'wait' and go to the tab it always seems fine10:51
willcookeoh, no it's not that bad for me10:51
willcookeVersion 39.0.2171.65 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)10:52
Laneybut it's annoying enough that I just kill it and then refresh when I want to actually use it again10:52
LaneyVersion 39.0.2171.65 Ubuntu 15.04 (64-bit)10:52
Laneywhich is fine because I use firefox for real browsing. :P10:52
willcooke:)10:52
Laney"STOP SLACKING ON TWEETDECK"10:53
willcooke;)10:54
Laneybut it doesn't seem to happen when the tab is focused10:55
Laneyso actually it's telling me to look more10:55
Laneyi am confuse10:55
willcookeDo you have any extensions installed?  (Grasping at straws here)10:56
larsuTrevinho: I don't understand your comment. What's a "list of applications for each app id"? App ids are supposed to be unique10:56
Laneyyeah, some10:56
larsuTrevinho: good catch on the missing free, thanks!10:56
LaneyI'll see if there is some way to get debugging info out next time it happens10:56
Trevinholarsu: yes, but keeping track of the relation app-id -> desktop file10:56
Trevinholarsu: you can baiscally rematch the new windows quickly10:57
larsuTrevinho: it's supposed to be the same10:57
Trevinhoindeed, so we don't need to do all the checks to figure out what 's their partent app10:57
Trevinhoparent*10:57
larsunot sure I understand...10:57
* larsu doesn't know a lot about bamf ;)10:58
Trevinhowell, if we save the app-id for each application (if present), then when a new window gets opened, we can do as a first check: let's see if we already know this window app id, and if we do, let's just set it as a child of an already known app10:58
Trevinhohowever, this is just optimization, probably10:59
larsuah, right10:59
Trevinhoso we can skip it if we don't have matching issues10:59
larsuI'll leave that to you ;)11:00
Trevinho:)11:00
larsuTrevinho: pushed a fix for the leak. Thanks!11:02
Trevinhonp11:02
Trevinhoand thank you for the branch11:03
larsuyw11:06
Trevinholarsu: ah, can you also apply http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/9717822/ or ci-train won't love it11:08
larsuTrevinho: uh not this again11:12
larsuTrevinho: pushed. Thanks for reminding me.11:13
LaneyI always mess up quilt and git when working with full source packages11:30
Laneyraargh11:30
Laneyquilt buildpackage -S # no thanks11:30
mlankhorstwillcooke: can you test https://mblankhorst.nl/etc/Xmir on your phone? I *think* i fixed all corruption..11:39

mlankhorstgoodie12:00
mlankhorstall corruption etc gone?12:02
willcookemlankhorst, certainly the issues I saw in LO12:02
willcookehaven't tried any gnome apps yet...12:02
mlankhorstoke12:03
willcookeKerblamo!  Crashed Mir :D12:10
mlankhorstyeah I get that too, might be from having a buggy mir snapshot..12:22
mlankhorstlooks like there's a new mir release in vivid though, so it might no longer be needed12:24
willcookeack12:29
willcookefood time12:29
mlankhorstgood :) I'll test with mir 0.1012:29
didrockshappyaron: did you check the packages you turned back from incomplete to confirmed? There has been no fix released in ubuntu12:55
didrockshappyaron: it's already the second that I find in that state, will turn then back, and readd the same comment has no upload was done :/12:56
willcookeqengho, anyone, does Chrome exist for ARM?12:59

Laneylaney@iota> rmadison -s vivid chromium-browser                                                                                             ~ chromium-browser | 39.0.2171.65-0ubuntu1.1108 | vivid/universe | source, amd64, armhf, i38613:01
Laneylooks like it is built at least ...13:01
=== greyback_ is now known as greyback
* Laney spots a typo in rmadison's manpage13:02
* Laney assumes nobody will mind if he fixes it directly in git (H)13:02
willcookeah, I need specifically Chrome13:03
willcookeI am assuming it doesnt exist publically13:03
Laneyhttps://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-armhf/Packages doesn't exist13:06
willcookethx Laney13:09
mlankhorstwillcooke: good news is that the updates to mir should obsolete my hacky version, just flash a new version and re-enable ppa again.. I'm testing if theory matches reality13:29
mlankhorstlooks like a small test confirms it13:36
willcookemlankhorst, nice work!  Ok, I will get another video out this afternoon, and then I will upgrade and test13:38
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
mlankhorstok upgrade seems to work as it should13:55
qenghowillcooke: There is no discrete Google Chrome for ARM, but we build chromium-browser for armhf. That is a reason we don't have a flash player for ARM. There IS a ChromeOS for ARM, of course. There's a Chrome in that!13:57

Sweet5harkseb128: I just bumped 4.4.0~rc2 for vivid to the prereleases ppa, now wading through the MIR and debian sync galore for packages where I still use internal versions. I will likely come around with a list of candidates in the next days. prepare for impact ;)14:12

willcookeAnyone know a reason why Ubuntu might not work on a 4k display?  (Just asking, some people are going to be trying it out, and they have my mobile number if it doesnt work :) )14:59
ochosigraphic cards/drivers? (just a guess)15:00
qenghowillcooke: bandwidth of cables? That's a lot of data. The cable that works for Other Display might not be good enough.15:05

mhall119willcooke: is there any specific hardware that is being targeted for the Unity 8 desktop images?16:39
willcookemhall119, no, not really16:42
willcookemhall119, but16:42
willcookeAIUI, Mir needs Intel gfx atm16:43
willcookeplus a touch screen16:43
willcookeyou can manage without the touch screen actually16:43
mhall119willcooke: thanks, I'm really intersted in showing it off with a touch screen16:45
mhall119FWIW, my wife's Asus X202E ran it perfectly16:46
Laneylarsu: Just uploaded gtk 3.14.7, please pull your branch again16:59
mhall119willcooke: I love the XMir videos, is that someting that's going to be working out-of-the-both in the Ubuntu Next images?17:08
willcookemhall119, I'm throwing some ideas around in my head about that atm17:09
willcookeI'm not sure it's ready for the big time yet17:09
willcookebut also, it would be *reallllly* nice to have it there17:09
mhall119yeah, but the point of Ubuntu Next is to land things "not ready for the big time" isn't it?17:10
willcooketrue dat17:10
willcookeseb128, mlankhorst, any thoughts?  ^^17:10
seb128willcooke, though on?17:12
seb128the next image is built from the archive atm17:12
seb128so we don't include non-merged code17:12
seb128mhall119, ^17:13
willcookeseb128, right, so should we move xmir out of ppa?17:13
seb128correct17:13
seb128or discuss making next more experimental and use ppas and such17:17
willcookeseb128, interesting idea.  Make Desktop Next truly bleeding edge.  We risk ending up with stable/unstable versions and the hell therein17:41
willcookeor we just say "Desktop next is perma-testing, you want to play then go for it, but it will probably break"17:42
willcookewhich is kinda where we are now17:42
willcooke(just thinking out loud)17:42
willcookeWell, I'm up for it17:42
desrtmust... resist... urge... to .... kill..... self.....17:57
desrtthe combined contents of the 'notes' 'limitations and caveats' 'dealing with rename events' and 'bugs' sections of the manpage for inotify are enough to send the reader into a deep depression17:58

mlankhorstwillcooke: I think xmir is too experimental right now19:45
willcookefair enough I reckon19:45
mlankhorstI mean it will work with mesa, probably even kms_swrast19:45
mlankhorstbut it's not at a point where it's usable for everyone :P19:46
willcookeI think that's a good call19:51
ChrisTownsendBesides, Xmir windows on the Unity8 desktop are nearly useless because 1) They don't resize and 2) Mouse input is busted.19:52
mlankhorstwell that was the main reason ;-)19:52
ChrisTownsendYep19:53
mlankhorstI think I will still add rotation/reflection support and leave it there, without input I can't do much more19:53
ChrisTownsendJust thought I'd add my 2 cents for the record.:)19:53
willcooke:)19:53
mlankhorstChrisTownsend: oh and lack of arbitrary cursors19:53
ChrisTownsendmlankhorst: Yeah, and that too.19:54
