didrocksgood morning07:06
seb128hey didrocks & desktopers07:08
happyaronattente_: we are thinking to revert qimpanel to Qt4, indicator submenu does not really work for Qt507:40
seb128happyaron, can we fix qt5 indicators to work? we eventually need to do that anyway07:41
happyaronattente_: actually qimpanel might not be necessary in touch environment, depending on whether we want on-screen keyboard07:41
seb128happyaron, unity8 is not only touch, it's supposed to be also a full desktop equivalent to unity7 today, that you can control with hwd mouse and keyboard07:43
happyaronseb128: that'd be great and will try later today, reverting to Qt4 is only last resort07:44
happyaronseb128: we would need different behavior of input method UI for touch and non-touch, though07:45
seb128happyaron, why?07:45
happyaronseb128: candidates need to be displayed in combine with the keyboard when it's touch (with on screen keyboard), but they would be displayed in a much smaller candidate window (what we have now on desktop) when it's non-touch07:47
seb128happyaron, well, the point is that you need to support a classic desktop with physical keyboard and non touch screen case, so you need the indicator07:49
happyaronI understand the indicator07:50
willcookeMorning folks.  Got a man in this morning, probably going to turn the power off for ~ an hour around lunch time08:22
seb128hey willcooke08:22
seb128willcooke, well, thanks to laptop and 3g you can work for an hour without power in the house right? ;-)08:23
didrockshey willcooke08:24
willcookeseb128, yes!  Good call, let's see how reliable it is08:27
mlankhorstmorning08:29
didrockshappy monday mlankhorst08:35
mlankhorsthappy monday!08:35
seb128hey mlankhorst08:38
willcookehey mlankhorst was this bug something you had looked at already?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/142426308:45
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1424263 in steam (Ubuntu) "Broken dependencies" [Undecided,Confirmed]08:45
willcookeseb128, all this talk about UEFI becoming mandatory (which as far as I can tell is mostly FUD) - does the installer already knows how to deal with UEFI (both 64bit and 32bit)?08:48
seb128willcooke, I didn't follow the discussion about it being mandatory, but we deal fine wit UEFI, at least on 64 bits08:49
seb128not sure on 32 bits and if it's a limitation on our side or not supported08:49
seb128when I got the touch inspiron laptop I first tried to boot a 32 bits iso (I had that on an usb stick) and that never worked with the uefi/secure boot08:50
willcookeI had to compile some kind of 32bit grub to get the ISO to boot on an HP tablet I was loaned.  Probably worth me dropping Foundations an email08:50
willcookeis it foundations?08:50
seb128yes08:50
willcookecool, thx08:50
seb128let me know if you hear back08:50
seb128I just assumed that uefi/secure boot was an amd64 feature, but I didn't check more08:51
willcookeI seem to remember seeing something about a new Atom chipset being 32bit, but only for UEFI - I guess it's a BIOS thing - like the BIOS was compiled for 32bit08:54
darkxstwillcooke, yes there are 32-bit atom's with UEFI, prior to those those UEFI was only supported on 64-bit08:57
willcookeah, kk08:58
darkxstidk why intel is releasing 32-bit chips though in this day and age08:58

seb128mvo, hey, dunno if you have any free cycles for click, but https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/click/+bug/1435228 seems like something worth looking at if we start getting more people working on creating applications09:46
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1435228 in click (Ubuntu) "UnicodeEncodeError when building click with non ascii filename included" [High,New]09:46
seb128not sure how common that is, but probably not uncommon in some languages09:46

seb128happyaron, could you look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1387219 ? seems like ibus is creating issues for quite some users, comments suggest that the bug is when ibus-gtk is not installed10:03

mvoseb128: yeah, what larsu said, with the exception of barry maybe ;)10:03
seb128mvo, feel free to bounce the bug to him then ;-)10:03
larsubonjour didrocks. How was your weekend?10:05
didrockslol10:05
didrocksI guess all those déjà-vu effects are due to systemd rebuilding10:05
larsuhaha10:05
larsuwhat's up?10:06
larsunew reviews in?10:06
didrockslarsu: still waiting for Lennart (now that he's back from holidays it seems?) to review what I posted a week and half ago10:06
didrocksdidn't seem "that urgent" after all10:06

didrockswillcooke: seems to be a fun game though, enjoy :)11:04
* didrocks watched some live streams11:04
willcookeI don't have a Windows machine, or indeed a machine powerful enough to play it I think.11:04
willcookeI was more excited about the concept than actually playing the game it seems11:04

mlankhorstdidrocks: if I want to rebuild unity against opengl instead of gles2 on arm, what packages do i need besides nux, compiz and unity?12:18
didrocksmlankhorst: I guess that's the whole list, can't think about anything else gl-related on top of my head12:19

mlankhorstdidrocks: does qt5 depend on gles2 too?12:21

seb128sil2100, Mirv, is it known that the qtcreator recent files/projects submenus are empty with appmenu-qt5 (works fine if the theme env variable is unset to have local menus)14:08
willcookeseb128, am I really here?  Just had what I hope is an unrelated power cut14:10
Mirvseb128: I don't follow appmenu-qt5 that closely, but sounds worth filing a bug about and including SDK team into it by adding qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu to the bug packages too (even if marked Invalid later)14:10
seb128willcooke, yes you are here ;-)14:10

willcookeAre you insinuating that there's a lot of mindless chatter in the channel when I'm here? ;p14:41
happyaronseb128: that would means gedit isn't supporting XIM very well, and it's true for many applications nowadays, but it's more obvious when gedit is a text editor14:41
seb128desrt, back from where? w.e?14:41
desrtare you insinuating that i am the type to insinuate about mindless chatter? :D14:41

happyaronseb128: we've seeded ibus-gtk for 15.04, but don't know how to SRU to older releases.14:42
desrtlarsu: i saw that email.  it makes me happy.14:43
happyaronattente_: in 2.0.0, there's submenu in the indicator, but clicking on it will lead to a crash, in 2.1.0 the submenu is removed, but I got quite some people say the indicator menu goes far too long14:44
larsudesrt: why?14:44
larsudon't you want to be a part?14:44
seb128happyaron, can we make ibus recommends it?14:45
desrtare we talking about the same email?14:45

larsudunno which one it was tbh14:45
desrtwe're having a sprint14:45
larsujust remembered chuckling at that phrase14:45
larsudesrt: no, not that one14:45
* desrt speeds up his rate of coffee intake14:46
happyaronseb128: ibus recommends ibus-gtk & ibus-gtk3, but don't know why people from time to time does not have it installed14:47
happyaronattente_: crash on unity7 or unity8?14:47
attente_happyaron: unity714:47
seb128happyaron, so flavor don't install recommends to reduce disk usage I think14:47
attente_happyaron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10661251/14:47
happyaronattente_: yep, skinMenuItemOnClick is for submenu14:49
happyaronseb128: can we update ubuntu-desktop to depend on it?14:49
happyaronwill that work?14:49
attente_happyaron: is it crashing on launch for you? or only on opening the submenu?14:50
happyaronattente_: only on opening the submenu for 2.0.0, no crash for the current version14:50
attente_happyaron: i don't think this is because of the qt5 port though, right? because you uploaded that a few weeks ago14:50
seb128happyaron, I guess so, but that seems wrong14:50
seb128happyaron, what component is creating the issue with gedit, is that ibus? I guess if ibus was not installed you wouldn't need ibus-gtk to get the cursor working?14:51
happyaronattente_: did a test that with Qt4 it's not crashing though14:51
willcookedesrt, larsu I think it was in the Telegram group chatr14:51
happyaronseb128: haven't verified the bug myself, it's common to blame the UI toolkit on this kind of bugs though14:53
seb128happyaron, ubuntu-desktop seems the wrong place to fix it, we install recommends so don't have the issue, it seems users having the issue run gedit under e.g xubuntu14:53
attente_happyaron: but the upload you did 2.0.0-0ubuntu1 was the qt 5 port and that was ok until 2.1.0-0ubuntu1, no?14:54
happyaronattente_: no, 2.1.0 expanded all submenu14:54
happyaronseb128: maybe make ibus Depends on them? looks a bit brute force to me14:55
seb128happyaron, does ibus requires a frontend? in which case it should probably depends on ibus-gtk | ibus-frontend and make the different frontends provide "ibus-frontend"?14:56
happyaronseb128: it has XIM support built-in, as fallback "frontend"14:57
happyaronand we need ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 at the same time, or im-config will not export the env variable14:57
seb128happyaron, so the gedit issue is gedit not properly supporting XIM? can you write that on the upstream bug?15:00
happyaronseb128: upstream generally ignores bugs like this15:00
seb128well, at least they know what the issue is15:00
seb128atm they blame Ubuntu15:00
happyaronseb128: true for gnome and chromium at least15:00
