| excalibr | Hi. can you give me some pointers. Im looking for way how to execute .desktop file from my py app. Ive tried calling xdg-open but that ended up opening the .desktop in text editor. Can you tell me how Unity shell (dash/launchers) launches apps .desktop? | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| darkxst | excalibr, you don't execute the desktop file | 02:24 |
| darkxst | Laney, a-i-t drops the legacy icon name maps (as listed in icon-naming-utils), will probably cause some missing icons around the place | 02:32 |
| excalibr | darkxst, how I'm supposed to launch it? | 02:38 |
| excalibr | the proper way | 02:38 |
| darkxst | excalibr, what are you trying to do? the shell parses the desktop files to read the meta-data | 02:38 |
| darkxst | if you want unity to launch your app, then you just need to make a desktop file and put it in the right place | 02:39 |
| excalibr | darkxst, sorry I wasnt clear enought. I want to call an external app through its .desktop from my py app | 02:40 |
| darkxst | excalibr, glib has api for working with desktop files | 02:45 |
| darkxst | g_desktop_appinfo_* maybe | 02:46 |
| darkxst | https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#g-desktop-app-info-launch-action | 02:46 |
| excalibr | ok many thanks :) | 02:53 |
| didrocks | good morning | 06:16 |

| larsu | bonjour pitti! | 07:45 |
| seb128 | salut pitti, ça va bien ! et toi ? | 07:45 |
| larsu | oh wait, I'm not even French | 07:46 |
| pitti | ... et mes amis allemands aussi, bien sûr ! :-) | 07:46 |
| didrocks | hello pitti | 07:46 |
| pitti | hey larsu, wie gehts? | 07:46 |
| * didrocks was feeling lonely this morning on the channel :) | 07:46 | |
| larsu | pitti: gut danke! | 07:47 |
| pitti | didrocks: pardon, j'ai perdu ton "bonjour" -- I ignored IRC, but I now landed the sysv-generator tests upstream :) | 07:51 |
| pitti | and am now fighting with some bugs in it | 07:51 |
| didrocks | pitti: saw that, congrats! | 07:52 |
| * mpt tries to change his password, and System Settings hangs \o/ | 08:00 | |
| mlankhorst | morning | 08:06 |
| larsu | mpt: woah, there's all kinds of things wrong in that dialog... | 08:10 |
| mpt | larsu, like how it pouts “Not strong enough” when you haven’t even typed anything yet | 08:11 |
| larsu | Laney: is this known^ ? I can't change my password at all (button doesn't work), the strength bar is messed up, it shows "not strong enough" even there's no text in it | 08:11 |
| mpt | And then reverts to “Not strong enough” again when you hit the button to change the password | 08:11 |
| larsu | mpt: right... | 08:11 |
| larsu | mpt: are you on V? | 08:11 |
| * mpt cowers | 08:11 | |
| larsu | mpt: I can't even hit that button. It's insensitive | 08:11 |
| mpt | I’m on 14.04. Maybe I should upgrade. | 08:11 |
| larsu | mpt: woah. Should definitely work there... | 08:12 |
| mpt | Even if it wouldn’t help in this particular case. :-) | 08:12 |
| larsu | haha yeah | 08:14 |
| larsu | thanks for letting us know! | 08:14 |
| seb128 | larsu, what dialog? | 08:14 |
| * seb128 feels like he lacks context | 08:14 | |
| mpt | seb128, it’s a hidden dialog | 08:14 |
| mpt | The one for changing your password | 08:14 |
| seb128 | ah | 08:15 |
| larsu | seb128: the change password dialog in u-c-c | 08:15 |
| seb128 | I see | 08:15 |
| seb128 | larsu, you can't hit the button because your password is not strong enough | 08:17 |
| larsu | seb128: right, but no matter what I type, the strength doesn't fill up (even when letting it fill automatically) | 08:18 |
| larsu | also, the strength bar seems to change when typing in "current password" | 08:18 |
| larsu | ah, closing and reopening it works | 08:19 |
| didrocks | larsu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p85xwZ_OLX0 | 08:25 |

| Laney | was hoping that it might stay but there's not much left now | 09:11 |
| Laney | larsu: not familiar with this password issue, sorry, are you looking into it? | 09:15 |

| Laney | OK, I'll include a stamped addressed envelope so you can post me some warmth back & then everyone can be happy ... | 09:34 |
| willcooke | It's the 21st century guys. | 09:36 |
| willcooke | Use email | 09:36 |
| pitti | or UUECP (unix to unix energy copy) | 09:38 |
| pitti | darn, where did I put the source for that.. | 09:38 |
| darkxst | willcooke, how would one send snow via email ? | 09:43 |
| darkxst | or heat? | 09:43 |
| willcooke | darkxst, scan it it | 09:43 |

| willcooke | to the desktop | 09:45 |
| willcooke | for no reason | 09:45 |
| willcooke | but it's fast | 09:45 |
| pitti | willcooke: with the new ssh unix port forwarding from utopic? | 09:51 |
| pitti | (that's an awesome feature!) | 09:52 |
| willcooke | I'm just using good ol' ssh -X atm | 09:52 |
| pitti | willcooke: oh, so the phone already has xauth installed? I thought it hadn't | 10:09 |
| willcooke | I just installed it | 10:11 |
| willcooke | (thanks to mlankhorst ) | 10:11 |
| pitti | ah, cheating :) (requires r/w phone) | 10:11 |
| willcooke | yeah | 10:11 |
| pitti | mlankhorst, willcooke: FYI: https://plus.google.com/+MartinPitti/posts/ZVQttN2ft5f | 10:13 |
| pitti | should work on an unmodified r/o phone, but requires utopic's ssh | 10:13 |
| * willcooke reads | 10:13 | |
| mlankhorst | ah | 10:14 |
| willcooke | nice | 10:16 |
| mlankhorst | pitti: yeah but you need some packages installed to run the xserver :P | 10:19 |
| pitti | mlankhorst: well, not everyone is running unit8 on their desktop yet :) | 10:19 |
| pitti | I'd suppose that almost every developer has X installed on their desktop still :) | 10:19 |
| pitti | mlankhorst: NB, will wants to run X apps on the phone and forward them to the desktop's X, not run X on the pone | 10:20 |
| mlankhorst | I don't see the usecase in that :P | 10:20 |
| mlankhorst | and besides you need xauth on the target machiine, which already has xauth | 10:21 |
| pitti | I used it once to run d-feet | 10:25 |
| pitti | mlankhorst: maybe, but with ssh -X you also need it on the phone side | 10:25 |
| pitti | with forwarding the unix port you don't | 10:25 |

| willcooke | I love spending an hour editing a video in kdenlive and then have it crash | 12:54 |
| willcooke | oh well | 12:56 |
| willcooke | rendering it makes my cpu busy, and that's all that's keeping me warm | 12:56 |
| mlankhorst | I have water cooling that only gets warm when I build llvm-toolchain for 2 hours in qemu for the arm arch :P | 12:58 |
| willcooke | ha! | 12:58 |
| didrocks | kdenlive-cc, like distcc :) | 12:58 |
| mlankhorst | after that the cooling tower turns into a space heater | 12:58 |

| seb128 | do we have an opinion on whether booting the unity8-next iso live session should display the ooeb wizard? | 15:48 |
| mlankhorst | oobe? | 15:48 |
| seb128 | out of the box expereience | 15:48 |
| seb128 | the first run wizard that let you pick locale, password, etc | 15:49 |
| seb128 | it's not that useful in a live session | 15:49 |
| mlankhorst | out of the experience box! | 15:49 |
| seb128 | but it might be useful for testing/demoing it | 15:49 |
| seb128 | lol | 15:49 |
| seb128 | oobe I guess ;-) | 15:49 |
| didrocks | seb128: agreed, it shouldn't | 15:53 |
| willcooke | +1 | 15:53 |
| didrocks | (and maybe it's time to implement a "demo mode" :)) | 15:53 |
| seb128 | didrocks, patches are welcome I guess? ;-) | 15:54 |
| didrocks | seb128: fine with this, we can even implement that with systemd sessions (so not that cycle) and I'm happy to give it then a look ;) | 15:56 |
| seb128 | didrocks, do you know what's the right component to add a small hook to create the stamp file for the livecd user? livecd-rootfs? | 15:57 |
| didrocks | seb128: you mean, creating the temp user, autologin and such? | 15:57 |
| seb128 | didrocks, well, to not display the wizard we need to touch a file in ~/.config | 15:58 |
| seb128 | didrocks, just trying to figure out where to add the line ;-) | 15:58 |
| didrocks | yeah, all those temporary stuff are done in casper (casper-bottom scripts) | 15:58 |
| seb128 | thanks | 15:58 |
| didrocks | seb128: I have some cycles, I can handle this if you wish | 15:58 |
| didrocks | that will remind me the UNE time :) | 15:58 |
| seb128 | didrocks, no, that's fine, I'm looking at, but thanks! | 15:58 |
| didrocks | ok, do not hesitate if you have any question | 15:59 |
| seb128 | sure | 15:59 |
| seb128 | thanks | 15:59 |
| didrocks | always happy to break casper in the iso :) | 15:59 |
| seb128 | lol | 15:59 |
| didrocks | seb128: scripts/casper-bottom/ btw | 15:59 |
| seb128 | didrocks, thanks, I've that on screen | 16:00 |
| seb128 | hum, vcs is one revision behind | 16:00 |
| seb128 | let me ping apw | 16:00 |

| Laney | :( | 16:04 |
| tedg | Laney, Thanks! | 16:04 |
| tedg | I'm sure someone has written a spoiler on the Internet :-) | 16:04 |
| didrocks | Laney: try with a cup of tea, I learnt this was a real currency in your country :) | 16:04 |
| Laney | "item has holds" | 16:04 |
| Laney | need to find who that is and ... deal with them | 16:05 |
| * tedg assumes from didrocks' comment that means throwing tea at them. | 16:05 | |

| Laney | to the bottom of the deep brown tea | 16:05 |
| tedg | didrocks, I was told that you're doing the BZ5 transition. Is that landing soonish? | 16:11 |
| didrocks | tedg: there are the u-c-c part to be done (larsu is on it), and we might be blocked by the Touch side | 16:12 |
| didrocks | tedg: the kernel team is supposed to update the Touch kernel with BZ5 patches, not a priority to them until February | 16:12 |
| larsu | beware of the Touch side | 16:13 |
| * tedg is not touching that | 16:13 | |
| tedg | didrocks, K, thanks for the update. | 16:13 |
| didrocks | yw! | 16:13 |
| Laney | tedg: oh, I thought you'd submitted a patch. :( | 17:12 |
| tedg | Laney, I thought I did too. | 17:12 |
| tedg | Laney, How do I attach to that bug? | 17:14 |
| Laney | Email bugnumber@bugs.debian.org & attach it | 17:14 |
| * tedg tries to add it | 17:15 | |
| tedg | Laney, How long does it typically take to show up on the bug? | 17:23 |
| Laney | tedg: Few minutes I guess, not long | 17:23 |
| didrocks | lately it's been up to 10 minutes | 17:23 |
| * tedg presses reload a few times to make it faster | 17:23 | |
| didrocks | I think the queue is busy | 17:23 |
| didrocks | tedg: you will receive an email to notify you | 17:23 |
| tedg | Seriously, I get an e-mail to confirm I sent e-mail? :-) | 17:24 |
| didrocks | you get a ack :) | 17:24 |
| Laney | it's there now | 17:24 |
| tedg | Woot! Reload worked! | 17:25 |
| tedg | ;-) | 17:25 |
| mpt | Hmm, that’s weird | 17:25 |

| Laney | but thanks | 17:25 |
| tedg | Laney, I thought for a new binary package I wouldn't, no? | 17:26 |
