_com_hi00:24
_com_i need support with the following problem: i've have no hdmi- ouput anymore.00:25
_com_tanks.00:26
TheMuso_com_: For starters, have you asked in #ubuntu? Secondly, you need to give us some more informatino. What form of HDMI is no longer working? Is it audio, video, or both?00:33
_com_themuso: yes, i've asked in #ubuntu, but no one has answered.  there is no video and audio.00:35
_com_the kernel is: 3.16.0-30-generic. i'm using gnome 14.10.00:36
_com_themuso: the problem appears since yesterday. but i don't know what happens. i've tried different cable and monitor.00:38
TheMuso_com_: Ok, did you install any updates recently? What GPU are you using, and do you have any proprietary video drivers installed? Do you get any splash screen or console messages?00:39
_com_themuso: no, i didn't install any updates. the gpu is an Intel Ivybridge Mobile. i don't use any proprietary video drivers. i don't get any splash screens or console messages.00:41
TheMusoOk. Do you get any BIOS/boot activity on the screen?00:42
_com_themuso: no. i don't get any BIOS/boot activity on the hdmi connected screen.00:43
_com_themuso: i'm using ubuntu 14.10.00:44
_com_themuso: can you help me?00:52
TheMuso_com_: Do you have any other monitors you can test with, and is that the only monitor you are using with your machine?00:57
_com_themuso: i've tried the same monitor with another machine (also ubuntu 14.10, kernel: 3.16.0-30) and it works.00:59
TheMuso_com_: Well if you don't get any boot/BIOS screens, then it sounds like a hardware problem, unless of course the video card has multiple outputs, and boot screens/BIOS are being displayed via another port.01:00
_com__themuso: how can i proof it? is it a hardware problem or a driver problem?01:03
TheMuso_com__: If your machine has other video outputs, try connecting them to a monitor and see if you get anything from the BIOS or Ubuntu bootup.01:06
_com__themuso: with a vga cable it works. but with hmdi it doesn't work.01:09
_com__themuso: maybe is the hdmi output broken or could it be a driver probelm? thanks a lot!01:10
_com__themuso: i will try it  and will look in the bios settings.01:14
_com_themuso: thank you very much. i don't know what happens. after i did plug the vga cable in, i reboot the system and open the bios settings, and after all i plug in the hdmi cable and the bootscreen appears.01:24
TheMuso_com_: Good to hear.01:42
_com_themuso: thank you & bye,bye & have nice night.01:43
TheMuso_com_: You're welcome.01:43

didrocksre guys :)07:10
excalibrGuys what is the password for login on ubuntu next iso?07:12
seb128excalibr, shouldn't have one07:12
seb128empty password rather07:13
seb128where does it ask for you?07:13
excalibrat the login screen07:14
excalibrIve tried id/pass ubuntu/ubuntu, ubuntu/<empty>, <empty>/<empty>07:15
excalibrnone works07:15
excalibrthis is the newest iso build. just grabbed it few hours ago07:15
seb128should be "ubuntu-desktop-next" and empty07:17
seb128but lightdm shouldn't show07:17
seb128where do you try it?07:17
excalibrohh..that did it :)07:17
seb128if you get the greeter it's likely because unity8/mir fails to start and you are bounced back there07:17
mlankhorstmorning08:17
mlankhorstso why does the unity8 login greeter on desktop use Xorg instead of something relying on mir? :P08:18
seb128mlankhorst, there is no unity8 login greeter?08:20
mlankhorstperhaps, but unity7 in Xorg-mir is a login greeter :P08:21
mlankhorstso that could be used at least08:21
willcookemorning al ready08:23
willcookealready08:23
mlankhorstindeed!08:23

willcookes/in/or08:24
didrockshey willcooke, mlankhorst08:24
seb128mlankhorst, not sure what you suggest? we intend to use an unity8 greeter the day we have one, our current one is the unity7 one though08:32
mlankhorstseb128: was curious if you could use the unity7 greeter with Xorg-mir :P08:32
seb128I guess we could08:32
seb128what would it bring us?08:33
mlankhorstunity-session-compositor doing what it should? :P08:33
mlankhorstand allowing me to replace /usr/bin/Xorg with Xmir for testing08:37
=== tsdgeos_ is now known as tsdgeos
seb128mlankhorst, I don't see an issue with that, maybe email the desktop list to describe the suggested change so we get feedback on it?08:58
willcooke+109:05
willcookeThe installer guys were interested in switching to Mir, but maybe Xmir would make a suitable stepping stone?09:06
willcookeActually, I don't know that they even use X09:06
Laneyyo09:06
willcookewhat up Laney09:06
seb128hey Laney09:10
seb128willcooke, the installer guys? do we still have some of those?09:10
seb128willcooke, also for what installer? mir currently doesn't work on VMs for example, that's not good for the installer (same for the greeter)09:10
seb128also does it work with all video drivers, included nvidia, etc?09:10
* willcooke shuts up09:11
seb128I think that was an issue when we previously talked about using the system compositor by default09:11
willcookeIt's a good job there is someone sane around here09:11
seb128lol09:11
seb128willcooke, don't shut up, those are interesting questions :-)09:11
seb128we just need to figure out the answers09:11
willcookeha!09:11
=== qengho is now known as CardinalFang
=== CardinalFang is now known as qengho
seb128didrocks, do you remember what was the issue with enabling the system compositor by default? that was the support on some drivers right? do you know if that's still an issue?09:32
didrocksseb128: some driver support indeed, so the idea was to fallback and having a white list of driver known to work09:35
didrocksseb128: that's still an issue AFAIK, only intel (and maybe nouveau?) works on Mir09:36
didrocksso, if someone installs nvidia (blob) driver, we need to have a good story here09:36
seb128mlankhorst, ^ is that still true?09:36
LaneyNoskcaj / darkxst: what's the grilo status?09:36
darkxstLaney, split is ready for sponsoring09:37
darkxsthttps://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu/vivid/grilo-plugins/split09:37
Laneyis it agreed?09:38
mlankhorstintel, radeon, and nouveau work?09:38
seb128mlankhorst, what happens is somebody install i.e nvidia binary drivers?09:38
darkxstLaney, was discussed with berto and seb128  in #debian IRC09:38
Laney'yes'?09:38
darkxstand yes agreed09:38
Laneyok09:38
seb128i.e->e.g09:39
mlankhorstseb128: yo uwon't have unity8 anyway..09:41
mlankhorstin that case09:41
mlankhorstso my guess is 'unity-session-compositor will fail to start'09:41
seb128mlankhorst, ok, so that's out of question to do on the default image09:42
seb128we can probably do it on -next thouh09:42
seb128though09:42
mlankhorstyeah default image is u7 anyway, but for u8 image it might make sense09:44
seb128well, having xmir/system compositor tested around u7 would make sense09:44
seb128or could at least09:44
seb128what is needed to change -next to use the system compositor?09:44
mlankhorstI guess changes to lightdm mostly09:45
seb128configuration changes?09:45
seb128seems like something to discuss with robert_ancell09:45
seb128just email the desktop list and let's have the discussion there :-)09:45
Laneydarkxst: are you going to sponsor it? (just noticed it's in gnome)09:51
Laney(the set)09:51
darkxstLaney, oh didnt realise that, ok will do09:51
Laneygreat!09:54
darkxstLaney, and I already reviewed it so uploading now09:58
Laneydarkxst: doesn't seem to be an upgrade path10:02
darkxstLaney, since there are only 2 rdeps no much point of transitional package10:03
darkxstand pretty sure noskcaj also made updates for those 2 existing packages)10:03
Laneyok10:04
darkxstLaney, though not to sure we he put them10:17
darkxstwere10:17
Laneyjust changing the dep right?10:18
Laneyi'm sure we can handle that10:19
darkxstLaney, yes, and doing it now for gnome-music and gnome-online-miners, you can handle it for totem ;)10:20
seb128Laney, do you have an updated vivid? can you try to build u-s-s?10:21
Laneyseb128: ya, ok, from where?10:22
seb128Laney, lp:u-s-s10:22
Laneydid Mirv merge his changes there?10:23
seb128yes10:23
jpdsSo, something's been bugging me for the last few weeks but I can't figure out what's wrong - does anyone know what I need to do to get that little envolope in the indicators?10:23
seb128but somewhat it fails to build for me locally10:23
seb128jpds, run a software that uses that indicator (e.g empathy, pidgin, evolution, tb)10:23
jpdsseb128: I'm always running thunderbird.10:24
seb128jpds, and the indicator is not showing? is it installed? (dpkg -l | grep indicator-messages)10:24
jpdsseb128: Yes, and yes.10:24
jpdsHence my confusion.10:24
Laneyseb128: indeed it fails10:24
jpdsLooks like the extension for thunderbird is installed too.10:25
seb128Mirv, ^ how can that be the case? how did you build u-s-s?10:25
seb128jpds, it's not showing at all?10:25
Laneythere's a diff to the archive10:25
Laneyvs. bzr10:25
jpdsseb128: Yep, never seen it.10:25
seb128Laney, how/why10:25
jpdsseb128: Since my reinstall.10:25
Laneyguess it wasn't committed10:25
seb128jpds, does it show if you run empathy?10:25
seb128Mirv, ^10:25
Laneyit's basically the contents of my branch10:25
jpdsseb128: Hmm, don't have it installed.10:26
seb1281310 commit has10:26
seb128"  Fake-sync from archives 0.3+15.04.20150213-0ubuntu2. Does not include the work-in-progress branch.10:26
seb128"10:26
seb128that seems buggy10:26
seb128jpds, $ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.messages applications10:26
jpdsseb128: Nothing in there.10:27
seb128jpds, that's your issue10:27
seb128not sure why tb doesn't add itself though10:27
Mirvseb128: Laney: not committed as commented on the bug as it was a combination of laney's wip branch, my branch (enough to make it compile) and commenting out Storage.qml. I did a fakesync from archives and waited to know what kind of approach you want to have.10:32
seb128Mirv, trunk should be what is in the distro, especially that currently trunk doesn't build due to your incomplete commit :-/10:32
seb128Mirv, can you please fix the build issue in there? I'm hacking on bluetooth changes and I need trunk to keep building10:33
Mirvseb128: ok, as you wish. I gave the possibility of finishing the wip bramch properly, but I'll sync the trunk now then instead of fakesync.10:33
LaneyIn a minute I'll do a MP to bring back the storage panel with the copy of the function or similar10:34
Laneythen we can work on a proper replacement over time10:34
seb128Laney, thanks10:34
seb128Mirv, yeah, ideally we wouldn't have merge half work, but having things still building is better so it doesn't block other fixes to land or people to work10:35
seb128Mirv, nice work on landing qt5.4 btw :-)10:36
Mirvseb128: Laney: trunk uptodate10:39
Mirvseb128: thanks :)10:39
seb128darkxst, you just uploaded gnome-music, have you seen that there is an update for it in the sponsoring queue? you might want to upload that one?10:42
seb128Mirv, btw, partial updates were a fail, e.g if you used update-manager to do a normal update, it would update part of the qt stack and let things not working on qt version mismatches10:43
seb128like settings would run until I dist-upgraded10:43
darkxstseb128, oh, didnt see that, will do10:43
seb128darkxst, thanks10:44

ChrisTownsendseb128: You had me worried there for a bit:)14:04
seb128ChrisTownsend, is the issue due to apparmor or...?14:04
ChrisTownsendseb128: Permissions on the Mir socket I believe.14:05
ChrisTownsendseb128: Or that is the first issue to overcome.14:05
seb128ChrisTownsend, but is the apparmor profile what blocks the access or...?14:05

seb128tedg, hey, can you look at ^, seems a recent indicator-sound regression14:25
larsuhm, I also get a notification now when I toggle the "allow > 100%" checkbox14:25
seb128tedg, it overwrites the u-s-d notifications with buggy ones, which makes the bubbles have a visual glitch and being wrong14:25
larsuand also when changing the volume from system settings14:25
larsuthis is all kinds of wrong...14:25
seb128larsu, yeah, that's part of the "notifications keep being displayed on any random revent"14:25
seb128tedg, why did we need to do that again?14:25
larsuseb128: ah, right14:26
* seb128 feels like we should just revert the recent changes14:26
larsutedg: I took a lot of care a couple of months ago to make sure notifications only happen when needed14:26
didrocksthe over-spammification of notifications is indeed a user regression IMHO14:26
seb128bah, polkit refuses my user password on my test machine, wth?14:34
seb128same password works for login and in the greeter14:34
tedglarsu, The problem was the notifications got added into the volume control object when the streams code was added last minute.14:35
tedgSo, then pulling them out of the volume control object has made things funky, as basically they weren't working there.14:36
tedgBut, we should drop g-s-d sending notifications.14:36
seb128tedg, patches are welcome :-)14:37
larsutedg: didn't I pull this out of the control object once? Why is it in there again?14:37
seb128tedg, also please make indicator-sound send non buggy ones14:37
tedgFixing indicator-sound first :-)14:37
tedglarsu, it got readded with the streams code which is… needs reworking.14:38
larsutedg: ugh :(14:38
larsutedg: unity-settings-daemon only sends a notification in the media keys plugin - which it should14:38
larsubasically the idea should be this: send a notification not when the sound changes, but when the user does an action14:39
tedglarsu, Eh, no, I don't think so. As we really should start routing media keys the same in U7 and U8.14:39
larsuwhich is only in two places: (1) the media keys plugin and (2) the scroll-event over the indicator14:39
tedglarsu, So I think it should start using the actions we're using in U8.14:39
larsutedg: sure, if you port the whole media keys thing to indicator-sound, we can drop the u-s-d plugin14:40
larsuI would very much welcome that14:40
tedglarsu, Well in the U8 world the media keys get caught by the compositor (U8) and then get forwarded to i-sound. So we'd still want usd to catch the keypresses, just pass them the same.14:41
larsutedg: even better. We should also drop i-sound then ;)14:43

attente_willcooke: not much. tried getting ibus working under the demo shell, but it's heavily x dependent15:38

desrthi15:41
desrtnot a huge week in terms of actual code production15:41
desrtspent some time on reviews15:42
desrthad a lot of discussions about some feedback coming in on first uses of g_autoptr() and G_DECLARE_TYPE macros, with some suggested changes15:42
desrtdid some code reviews15:42
desrtalso did some trying out of pwithnall's work upstream for the new approach for m4 macros in gnome projects... trying to make sure that's usable and not entirely happy with the result yet, so more discussions there15:42
desrtstarted to create a new upstream m4macros module that will hopefully be a good compromise position on that15:43
desrti fixed the potential deadlock in my mount-monitor branch and am awaiting reviews15:43
desrti'm also probably finally merging the GSimpleIOStream branch today15:43
desrti also wrote a neat new mode for dconf: 'dconf summary' which lists which apps are configured, which are in their default state and which dconf paths are orphans (ie: old settings left over from uninstalled apps)15:44
willcookeooh, nice15:44
desrtand as a side project i'm working on a set of tools for mirroring bugzilla on my laptop, which is driving the development of some very interesting pieces of technology -- a streaming class for GVariant over sockets, and a sequence-number-based database storage mechanism15:44
desrtboth of which i hope to use for dconf database syncing at some point in the future15:44
desrtthat's about all15:44
willcookethanks desrt, sounds like a lot of code production to me :)15:45

Laney• Patch piloted15:50
Laney• Worked on some more fixes required before updating totem to 3.14 (ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ppa, please test, needs grilo-plugins from NEW)15:50
Laney∘ has weird pixelated icons in some places & we need to theme the OSD15:50
Laney• Some extra dialog headerbar fixes in nautilus15:50
Laney• Update glib to debian, test, sync15:50
Laney• Work a bit on u-s-s/Qt 5.4 StorageInfo removal mitigation, now yak shaving the xbuilddeps into working again & want to look at adding a test for this (one problem is that autopkgtests are only triggered for reverse binary deps, not reverse build deps but maybe it'll be enough)15:50

mlankhorstsome debugging of utopic -> trusty xorg backport15:53
mlankhorst^d15:53
willcookemlankhorst, I wanted to say thanks again for all your help over with Xmir recently - it's been very reassuring to know you're there :)15:53
willcookeLaney, you want to ask some questions?15:53
Laneyhmm, don't know, I was hoping for a high level overview of what we're doing with xmir15:55
Laneyso that I might have an idea of questions after that :P15:55
willcookeso right now we're trying to get it to run reliably on Ubuntu Touch devices so that one can run X applications on Mir, on devices15:56
willcookeOn the desktop, specifically Intel hw, it's working well15:56
seb128willcooke, I guess it's a bit non obvious how the pieces fit together, what is the system compositor, what is xmir and what's doing, why we need them, etc15:57
willcookeThings going on around Xmir include hooking up input events, getting socket activation set up so that X apps can request an Xmir instance15:57
willcookemlankhorst can answer that better than I could, but...15:58
willcookeAIUI, the main system compositor is Unity8 sys comp. Xmir gets a surface from Mir to draw on, and passes that off to U8 sys. comp for placing in the right place15:59
willcookeas far as the X applications are concerned, it's business as usual16:00
willcookeand as far as U8 is concerned it's just another surface16:00
attente_are X apps affected by the bug of creating multiple surfaces?16:00
willcookeno, because at the Mir level it's one surface16:01
Laneydoes it work for apps with multiple windows?16:01
willcookeinside the Xmir session, at the moment, I have had more success when using, say, Metacity as a WM, so that things like file browser windows have controls16:01
seb128does dnd between apps work?16:01
willcookeLaney, @ multi windows - it;s like running X with out a window manager16:02
willcookethings pop up in the middle and look unstyled16:02
willcooke(in my experience anyway)16:02
willcookerunning a WM makes a big difference16:02
willcookedont know how we fix that long term yet16:03
willcookemaybe a small WM inside Xmir?16:03
willcooke(hence my questions about WM recently)16:03
desrt(maybe discuss after the meeting?)16:03
seb128(yeah, was supposed to be at the end of the meeting no?)16:03
willcookeyeah, but mlankhorst had to dash16:03
LaneyI thought we did it now so that mlankhorst could be involved16:03
Laneybut he seems to have gone anyway16:03
Laneyso ya16:04

larsuinstalled and tested what robert already had16:09
larsuwhich already works for the most part16:09
larsuhave a couple of fixes on a branch for unity-control-center (working power button, yay)16:09
larsudid lots of testing of that and the indicator with my phone16:09
seb128(button not working?)16:09
larsuseb128: it was weirdly jumping back and forth in some cases16:10
larsuseb128: the switch in u-c-c for turning bt on/off16:10
larsuI also started backporting the old ui, because the new one is a bit too gnome-3 for our taste16:10
larsu(almost nothing in the panel and lots of dialogs)16:10
larsuon the weekend and some evenings I hacked on gnome-logs, which is much more usable now for big logs16:11
larsuI think we should include it instead of gnome-system-logs once we switch to systemd16:11
larsuthat also led to some new gapplication api that I pair-programmd with desrt  (thanks again!)16:12

willcookewhat does still mean in this context?16:21
Sweet5harkwillcooke: so "libreoffice fresh" is latest and greatest: 4.4.x as of today16:21

willcookeI see16:22
willcookeHaving given it very little consideration, it sounds like a good plan.  Allowing people to stick with a version and still get updates16:23
Sweet5harkwillcooke: upstream offers both for download, and I now get asked about doing the same for the ppas. ("libreoffice fresh" would be x.y.0 -> ~x.y.4, "libreoffice still" would be the older major with higher minors x.y.4 -> x.y.6)16:24
