balloonsubuntu-qa, perhaps pitti? I'm trying to figure out how to best recommend using libgtest. Do I put it in the cmake file and have cmake pull it, perhaps like http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689076/. Or do I install the libgtest-dev package and manually compile and copy the libs to /usr/lib?16:11
alesageballoons, good q, would you be willing to work from an example?16:11
pittiballoons: I'd use the packaged version; in many environments you don't even have internet access16:12
alesageballoons, IIRC it's not built in the archive b/c of some symbol magic16:12
alesagepitti, balloons let me pull up an example16:12
alesageballoons, I'm going to bounce this to charles actually, looking at indicator-datetime16:15
balloonsalesage, happy to work from an example. I like using the package, and currently that's what I've recommended. What I don't like is manually copying into /usr/lib, or the fact I must self-compile16:15
balloonspitti, good point about internet access.. it's a fragile dependency16:15
alesageballoons, just looking to compare how unity8 is doing it, one sec16:18
alesageballoons, right so in indicator-datetime we're not using those 'external' macros http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689882/16:22
alesageballoons, and then those DIR vars are set in the base CMakeLists.txt to the debian-installed locations http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689892/16:24
alesageballoons, pitti more background http://askubuntu.com/questions/145887/why-no-library-files-installed-for-google-test https://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_install_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog16:28
alesage(for balloons' blog post ;) )16:28
balloonsalesage, :-) So is your example using the -dev package, but compiling it as part of the cmake build?16:29
balloonsI see GTEST_SOURCE_DIR, but I don't see the definition16:29
alesageballoons, yes16:29
balloonsalesage, that seems sane.. You have the full project source for viewing?16:30
alesageballoons, GTEST_SOURCE_DIR is defined in the root CMakeLists.txt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689892/16:30
alesageballoons, this is all in lp:indicator-datetime, yes16:30
balloonsgotcha16:31
alesagecharles will be flattered if you use it as an example ;)16:31
balloonsalesage, :-) I reserve the right to ask questions as well. Trying to keep cmake simple enough for us lesser folks to grok16:31
balloonsbut yea, this looks like what we want16:31
alesageballoons, great, yes I was new to it too, yes these native macros are better16:32

jpalmerhey guys,  have 2 minor issues with 15.04 beta2.  one is an installer issue.  the other is a very minor (as in, nitpicky) issue at login.  Should these be launchpad issues?19:46
jpalmertechnically, it's 3 issues,  but I suspect 2 of them are related.19:46
elfyhave you looked to see if they're known?19:47
jpalmeryes,   they don't appear to be.19:47
elfyif they're bugs then LP is the place yep19:47
jpalmerI'll doublecheck, of course.   Was just more curious if launchpad is the correct place,  or since it's a beta2,  if there is another tracker.19:47
jpalmerok,  thanks.19:48
elfythings get put ON the image tracker19:48
elfybut they have to be bugs in the first place19:48
elfyI'd be interested to know what the installer one is19:48
elfythe others not so much - assuming Ubuntu19:48
jpalmerunderstood.  so I report it on LP.  then one of the ubuntu team decides if it gets escalated to image tracker19:48
elfyno not at all :)19:49
elfy'people' test images - they report on the tracker19:50
jpalmerbreifly,   I'm installing on a 2013 macbook pro, retina.   It looks like each of the screens is a seperate "pane"   and part of it is extended below the bottom of the screen, so you can't see it.  Originally, I thought it hung there indefinately,  and I couldn't move it with my mouse.19:50
elfyif they find a bug - they can report that - and can also report it on the tracker19:50
elfyjpalmer: well I've not seen reference to anything like that for sure :)19:51
jpalmeron a second install attempt,  I decided to move the "pane" before the hang point.   then I noticed it is actually popping up a wanring about UEFI mode.  and you have to click a button to continue.  so, you can't see it unless you move the pane,  and.. you can't move the pane after it's "displayed"19:51
elfyat a guess I would expect people to want to know that one19:51
jpalmerthe other (and probably related) issue with the installer,  is that same UEFI prompt pops up like 4 different times during the process.  once seems sufficient.  hehe19:52
elfy:)19:52
jpalmeryep, my thoughts exactly.   'Tis why I'm asking about the LP ;)19:52
elfyyep - understood19:52
jpalmerthanks for the info.  I'll create an LP account now.19:52
elfyI'd not know what to report that against though19:52
jpalmerquestion,  is "pane" the right way to describe that... panel?  or is there a better/more descriptive name?19:53
elfysomeone from qa-team might have more idea19:53
elfywindow maybe19:53
jpalmerhave any particular monsters I can poke?  assuming they IRC?19:53
elfywell I pinged the qa team - if anyone's awake19:54
jpalmerIf LP can accept pictures,  I'll reinstall,  and get some with my cell.19:54
jpalmeroh, thanks.19:54
elfyand others read the channel19:54
elfyjpalmer: you can add screenshots, images etc as attachments to bugs yep19:54
jpalmerperfect.   In that case, I may hold off until I get home tonight, and get some photos of the install process.19:57
jpalmerthanks for the info, elfy19:57
jpalmeroh, hrm..  I may not get that wanring again.  because I previously had 14.10 installed in bios campatibility mode. so, I may need to reinstall *that* first, to force the prompt/dialogue19:59
elfywell ... just make the best attempt at describing it I would say20:04
elfyI'd not, unless you really want to, go backwards now20:04
ianorlinI am not clear on if it is just the boot drive that needs to be uefi formated or can your still have /home on an mbr drive?20:05
ianorlinnot_roasted: an elf?20:05
ianorlinoops20:05
elfyO_O20:06
elfyit could be worse, could be roasted: an elf?20:07
jpalmerelfy:  143748220:25
elfybug 143748220:25
ubot5bug 1437482 in xorg (Ubuntu) "Installer issue" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143748220:26
jpalmerif a QA person wakes up, and I'm not around, you can point them at that.  I'll keep an eye on it if they need more info.  and as I said, I'll add pictures in about 2 hours.20:26
elfyreading that it seems that by 'pane' you mean the steps during install20:27
elfyI'd expect that the package will get changed - but reporting is a good first step20:28
jpalmeryeah, I really don't know how to describe them.    each "step during install" repopulates to the bottom right corner of the screen,  and you have to redrage the..  modal?  back up.20:28
jpalmerthe pictures should explain it better.  I hope.20:29
jpalmerI'm actually talking about the window that the "step during install" is redrawn onto.20:30
elfyyou get more than one of those?20:30
elfyif you're talking about what I think you are then 'windows during install' would perhaps make sense20:31
jpalmeryeah, that UEFI warning/prompt pops up like 4 times.20:35
jpalmeron a whim,  I just installed it on a VM.. and it's certainly different there.  you don't see the screen I'm talking about, at all.20:36
jpalmerok, I decided to take photos now with my crappy cellphone, and upload them.  hopefully now it makes sense ;)20:47
jpalmerthanks again elfy.  going to fight some traffic now.  will post the other bug once I get home.20:50
elfydrive safe then - and obviously you're welcome :)20:51
