ochositedg: hi there! quickly wanted to ask what the rationale was behind dropping sync notification on scroll in indicator-sound. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-sound/trunk.15.04/revision/462.4.207:38
seb128good morning desktopers07:58

qenghowillcooke: Your Twitter name is good.13:48
willcookeqengho, hehe!  Thanks13:51
larsuis it willcooke?13:51
willcookelol13:52
willcookefor once, it is not13:52
tedgochosi, The biggest reason was that we couldn't find any use-case for it. Do you have one?14:02
seb128tedg, hey14:03
tedgGood morning seb12814:03
seb128tedg, does it mean that mousewheel scrolling over the indicator doesn't displays bubbles anymore?14:03
tedgseb128, No, it should mean that it always does. There was an option to disable.14:03
tedgseb128, But no UI for it and set to show by default.14:03
seb128oh, ok14:03
seb128k, wfm then14:04
seb128tedg, btw https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1416233 might be a regression from your recent changes14:06
ubot5Launchpad bug 1416233 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "Sound indicator notification shows each time the a sound starts or stops" [Undecided,New]14:06
tedgYeah, I agree, it's kinda the design though.14:08
seb128tedg, can you comment saying that?14:08
tedgYup14:08
seb128thanks14:08
tedgLooking up the design :-)14:08
seb128:-)14:08
tedgseb128, Actually seems I was wrong, there's a little sentence at the end I missed covering this :-/14:12
seb128tedg, k, please fix it then :-)14:16
tedgHeh, yeah.14:16
rsalvetitedg: I can't control music playback anymore from the indicator-sound (play/pause/back/forward) on vivid14:43
rsalvetiis that expected?14:43
rsalvetion desktop14:44
tedgrsalveti, Could you before?14:44
tedgOh, on desktop.14:44
rsalvetitedg: yup14:44
tedgrsalveti, Definitely not expected, let me try.14:44
seb128rsalveti, you mean that the controls are missing in the menu?14:45
rsalvetiseb128: yup14:45
seb128rsalveti, want to try the deb from https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-006 and confirm if it fixes it for you?14:46
seb128tedg, ^14:46
rsalvetisure14:46
seb128thanks14:46
tedgOh, okay. WFM with Rhythmbox.14:46
tedgWell, I've got Utopic base but the indicator-sound trunk.14:47
seb128tedg, yeah, the issue is due to the new gtk/theming14:47
tedgAh, I see.14:47
seb128so you wouldn't get it on utopic14:47
tedgNeed to upgrade to Vivid. Used to always upgrade the week before UDS. Still haven't got a new routine.14:48
rsalvetiseb128: nops14:48
rsalvetistill broken14:48
seb128rsalveti, what did you restart?14:49
rsalvetiseb128: just indicator-sound, do I need to restart the entire unity?14:49
seb128rsalveti, unity-panel-service14:49
seb128that's the frontend side14:49
seb128the indicator is just backend14:49
rsalvetiseb128: got it14:50
rsalvetiseb128: awesome, can see them again :-)14:50
rsalvetiand seems to be working fine as well14:50
seb128rsalveti, great, thanks for confirming ;-)14:50
ochositedg: dunno, we used that setting in xubuntu and it seemed to provide better visual feedback of the scroll-event than just the small icon in the panel changing14:53
tedgochosi, I think that the default is to provide the notification, so I think you guys were just setting it again.14:54
ochosia-ha14:55
tedgochosi, It was only used to disable the notification. (non-default)14:55
ochosiso wait, that commit is not dropping the notification then?14:55
tedgochosi, No, it is not. In fact I was too aggressive with the notification, got to scale it back a little this morning :-)14:55
ochosioh ok then :)14:55
ochosiif the notification sticks around, there's nothing to worry about then14:56
ochosithanks for the heads up!14:56
mitya57Laney: notify-osd itself installs some icons into /usr/share/notify-osd/icons/hicolor/, why not use the same path?15:14
mitya57That will also work for users whose icon theme does not inherit from Humanity15:14
=== ochosi is now known as ochsoi
=== ochsoi is now known as ochosi
larsumitya57: the same path as whaT?15:24
Laneymitya57: tedious file conflicts if you do that15:25
Laneycan't quite be bothered to sort it out15:25
larsuwhy don't we just add the icons to hicolor?15:25
larsuor are they very notify-osd specific?15:25
larsubah, s/hicolor/Humanity15:26
Laney/usr/share/notify-osd/icons/*15:26
Laneythey probably only look good in notify-osd15:27
larsuokay, makes sense then15:28
ochosihey larsu15:28
larsuhi15:28
ochosii recently noticed an oddity/bug in gtk3.14, so i thought i'd quickly ask you whether it was possible that it's a problem in ubuntu only before putting a bugreport upstream...15:29
ochosithe gtkfontchooser's preview-text is generally an empty string by default, as opposed to what it should be: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFontChooser.html#GtkFontChooser--preview-text15:30
ochosiyou can see that e.g. in gedit15:30
ochosii noticed it with a different app i'm maintaining15:30
ochosiexplicitely setting some preview-text in the code works though15:31
Laneyochosi: what does python -c 'from gi.repository import Gtk; print Gtk.FontChooserDialog().get_property("preview-text")' give you?15:34
Laneyseems right here15:34
larsuochosi: I see "The quick brown fox..." as preview text in gedit15:34
ochosiweird15:34
ochosicould this be a xubuntu-only issue then?15:34
ochosiLaney: that outputs the expected pangram15:34
larsuseems correct, then15:35
ochosinot that this is spectacular or anything, but just so you know i'm not messing with you, this is how it looks in xubuntu: http://i.imgur.com/W5U1mDP.png15:35
ochosiand i see the same behavior with different gtk3 apps15:35
ochosi(gedit, parole)15:35
larsuochosi: maybe a theme issue? Is the text set on the property?15:36
larsuochosi: (check with inspector)15:36
ochosithe text isn't set15:36
ochosiwait, the theme can modify that property?15:36
ochosilemme check with ambiance then...15:37
larsuochosi: no, but the theme can make the text invisible15:37
larsujust and idea...15:37
ochosiah sure15:37
ochosiyeah, no, that's not it15:37
ochosiit really is set to ""15:37
seb128gedit looks like your screenshot for me on unity15:38
larsucan you debug gedit with a breakpoint on gtk_font_chooser_set_preview_text?15:38
seb128is it supposed to contain text?15:38
larsuseb128: yes15:38
larsuochosi: hm, gtkfontchooser uses pango_language_get_sample_string()15:38
larsumaybe that only works in some languages?15:39
ochosii'm using the default en_US locale15:39
ochosilarsu: what/how exactly should i debug?15:43
ochosii mean i have parole's code here and i've inspected it quite a bit, it just adds a gtkfontbutton so everything is handled by gtk itself15:43
larsuochosi: is gtk_font_chooser_set_preview_text() called?16:01
larsuand if so, with which string?16:01
ochosiin parole you mean?16:01
ochosiaha16:02
larsuor gedit16:02
ochosiwell in parole it isn't explicitely called, that i know for sure16:02
larsudoesn't matter if if happens in both apps16:02
ochosibut i presume by debug you meant checking whether it happens implicitely?16:02
larsuyes16:04
ochositbh i've never done that :]16:04
seb128is gedit supposed to set a preview text?16:05
larsuah don't worry about that then16:05
larsuseb128: gtk sets a default if gedit doesn't override it16:06
larsuseb128: and it doesn't seem to, because I see it16:06
ochosilarsu: what's your locale btw?16:06
larsuochosi: en_US16:06
seb128ochosi, larsu, https://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/commit/?id=af6d3204ec4a71efff8521f2df7ffb69960279f416:06
seb128larsu, running your new gtk by chance?16:07
ochosia-ha16:07
ochosithat is interesting16:07
larsuseb128: and the new gedit ;)16:07
seb128larsu, that's what I meant16:07
seb128new gedit :-)16:07
seb128sorry16:07
ochosii'll quickly try that with parole, i presume adding that line gives you the preview text..?16:07
larsuI figured16:07
larsuochosi: no, it removes it16:07
larsuochosi: grep for preview.text in your source and ui files16:08
ochosialright, i'll check whether parole sets that16:08
ochosidarn, there you go...16:09
ochosii guess that was automatically set by glade-gtk3 or something16:09
ochosithanks a lot larsu!16:09
larsuochosi: probably the same that happened for gedit. Thank seb128 -- he found the issue!16:10
* larsu hugs seb12816:10
larsutoo bad you won't nbe here until sunday16:10
ochosiindeed, thanks a bunch seb128!16:10
* seb128 hugs larsu back16:11
seb128yw!16:11
* Laney is continent-side16:14
ari-tczewlarsu: are you going to prepare gedit 3.14 for vivid?16:14
Laneyneed to make sure to have turned off data roaming when we get into .be16:15
qenghowillcooke: about email, that bug report probably won't influence to different conclusion, but you should know of it.16:45
* willcooke reads16:46
willcookeok, things get a bit baffling towards the end of that report16:48
willcookeqengho, so is that a fix in the works then?16:49
qenghowillcooke: not soon. Hard to say, but not this release.16:53
willcookeqengho, oki16:53
willcookeqengho, so options available to us?  Disable HiDPI?16:54
seb128willcooke, are the shifted menu worth that unreadably small ui elements?16:55
willcookeseb128, yeah, plus AIUI you cant click on the menu items either16:56
willcookeoh16:57
willcookesorry misread16:57
willcookeI dont think the menu items are clickable - and if that is the case, then yes - I think it probably is16:57
willcookewhat do you reckon?16:57
willcookeHas anyone got a HiDPI screen we can test it on?16:58
seb128do we have a bug report on launchpad with details?16:59
seb128willcooke, just run "chromium-browser --force-device-scale-factor=2" to test16:59
seb128you can use the menus17:00
seb128at least the top right main one17:00
qenghowillcooke: Menu-items are clickable, but hover-to-expand submenus doesn't work very well. Coordiate mis-map on that part.17:00
qenghoBut in some weird relative way.17:00
seb128yeah, it's not really usable17:01
seb128if you try to open a submenu it pops over the main menu and open/close in turns17:01
willcookeheh17:01
willcookeStephane is looking up the LP bug...17:02
seb128but yeah, looks like maybe we should disable hidpi until that it resolved17:02
willcookeI find it strange that upstream aren't all over this bug though17:02
willcookeI would have expected the new shiny to get some love :)17:02
qenghowillcooke: endless refactoring and breaking all my patches has a higher priority.17:05
willcookeha!17:06
willcookeoooohh17:12
willcookewho was it that liked steak tartare?17:12
seb128the frenchs17:12
willcookehehehe17:13
mlankhorsthow do people get from FOSDEM to the hotel?17:21
willcookelooks like quite a long way. taxi it17:22
mlankhorstshrug, I go by car :p17:37
mlankhorstthough 5 km is fun to walk too17:37
willcookeOn a sunny day I would agree17:37

mlankhorstpfft17:38
mlankhorstI cleaned up some horse feces today in the snow, though it was still 5°c or so :p17:38

seb128kenvandine, could be useful to bump the indicator-power upstream version, more reliable than depending on a daily snapshot date18:55
seb128especially if you start backporting to rtm18:55
kenvandineok19:00
kenvandinecharles, ^^19:00
kenvandinecan you bump that in your branches and i'll match it in my branches?19:00
