Paddy_NI_Hi I am having some very "jerky" window resizing on Ubuntu Gnome (current stable). Particularly when maximizing windows - I'm also noticing with "Terminator" when I maximise that the right half of the window does not show nor does the lower half of the left side.10:12
Paddy_NI_Would a screenshot of Terminator be of any use?10:13
darkxstPaddy_NI_, if that only affects terminator, then it could be a bug in that app10:13
darkxstwe don't support it, whatever it is10:14
Paddy_NI_Well I notice other apps try to do the same10:14
Paddy_NI_However they eventually draw the rest10:14
Paddy_NI_Still incredibly jerky10:14
Paddy_NI_xchat is doing it too10:14
darkxsti've only seen jerky resizes under wayland10:14
Paddy_NI_gnome-terminal is also doing it very briefly10:15
mgedmin"current stable" is what, gnome 3.12 from ubuntu gnome 14.10?10:15
darkxstbut could be a driver bug10:15
Paddy_NI_mgedmin, Current "Ubuntu Gnome"10:15
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Possible10:15
Paddy_NI_Intel graphics10:15
Paddy_NI_ThinkPad T42010:15
Paddy_NI_I'll ask the Lord Google10:15
Paddy_NI_:-)10:15
darkxstPaddy_NI_, smooth as butter on my T40010:16
Paddy_NI_:-(10:16
mgedminx220 here, no video jerkiness10:16
Paddy_NI_I have not tried playing video yet10:16
Paddy_NI_Wanted to get window management down first10:16
mgedminchromium has some slight problems with video10:16
mgedmin(hardware accelerated video not worky due to some dri3 wonkiness, so it falls back to pure-software aliased linear scaling ugh)10:17
Paddy_NI_lol10:17
Paddy_NI_I cannot screenshot it10:17
mgedminthat is interesting10:17
Paddy_NI_Screenshots seem to make it look normal again10:17
mgedminwell, gnome-shell does the "flash" effect that effectively redraws the whole screen10:18
mgedmin(after it takes the screenshot)10:18
Paddy_NI_When I highlight the non-displaying area with my mouse (or keyboard) it begins to display10:18
mgedmindo you see any damage in the screenshot?10:18
mgedminincidentally10:18
Paddy_NI_mgedmin, Exactly what I was thinking10:18
darkxstdri3 is still broken in general I believe10:18
Paddy_NI_No the screenshot looks perfect10:18
mgedminI have very similar problems on my x200 at home (ubuntu 14.10, gnome 3.14, intel video)10:18
Paddy_NI_hmm10:18
Paddy_NI_Does the "Intel Graphics Installer" work on the current "Ubuntu Gnome"10:19
Paddy_NI_I must check that out10:19
darkxstnot unless they made a new release recently10:19
mgedminha ha my x220 just rebooted10:20
mgedmin#readyforthedesktop10:20
mgedmin@!#%@!#10:20
meetingologymgedmin: Error: "!#%@!#" is not a valid command.10:20
mgedminanyway, as I was saying my x200 has video redraw problems10:20
mgedminnautilus windows are corrupt sometimes (esp. the left sidebar)10:20
mgedminmoving the mouse over them makes things appear correctly10:20
mgedminI suspect the intel video driver10:20
Paddy_NI_hmm this article mentions that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS has entered deprecated status10:21
Paddy_NI_http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/03/latest-intel-linux-graphics-drivers-now-available-for-ubuntu-14-1010:21
mgedminthe x220 has no graphics problems otoh (also intel video, different model probably?)10:21
Paddy_NI_as far as using the intel driver goes I wonder if it is worth my while10:21
Paddy_NI_"intel graphics installer" rather10:21
mgedminprobably not10:21
mgedminthe best thing (not for you, but for everyone) would be to report a bug in launchpad10:22
Paddy_NI_mgedmin, The x220 and the T420 are virtually identical regarding hardware10:22
mgedminusing ubuntu-bug, so it attaches all the relevant system info10:22
darkxstPaddy_NI_, 14.04 would have got the newer intel drivers with the HWE stack10:22
darkxst(but that is optional)10:22
mgedminthen you'll get an automated reply asking to test the latest upstream kernel (because the intel kms driver is part of the kernel)10:22
mgedminwith clear instructions on how to do so10:22
mgedminyou'll do that, report the results10:22
mgedminand after that nothing will happen10:22
Paddy_NI_darkxst, So I would have to do something to make it use it?10:22
Paddy_NI_mgedmin, If I am to file a bug then I should probably do this after lunch/brunch so that I can give it proper attention10:23
darkxsthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack10:24
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Cool :-)10:24
darkxstits included in 14.04.2 but if you installed prior to that, you need manual commands10:24
Paddy_NI_Most likely10:24
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Unable to locate those packages10:26
Paddy_NI_darkxst, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10790465/10:27
darkxstPaddy_NI_, unless you have done something silly like disable trusty-updates, they should be there10:30
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Nope I have everything enabled10:30
darkxstpackages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/xserver-xorg-lts-utopic10:31
darkxstor you are on 14.10?10:31
Paddy_NI_Ha10:32
Paddy_NI_Silly me10:32
Paddy_NI_Yes10:32
darkxstPaddy_NI_, you could try the 15.04 daily live image and see if that works better10:32
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Hmm..10:33
Paddy_NI_I am a little reluctant - I'll make a decision after lunch :-)10:33
darkxstPaddy_NI_, why? live image wont change anyhting on your system10:34
darkxstand besides 15.04 is more stable already than 14.1010:34
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Oh I thought you meant installing the daily10:34
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Sounds good10:34
Paddy_NI_perhaps that is my best option10:34
darkxsttry it and see, if it works, just upgrade10:35
Paddy_NI_Actually to hell with it, I may as well just perform an upgrade anyway for the fun10:37
Paddy_NI_I forget the command for upgrading distros10:37
Paddy_NI_sudo do-release-upgrade -d10:38
Paddy_NI_"YO Johnny, I'll see in the next life!"10:40
darkxstI'm already in the next life, wayland style ;)10:40
Paddy_NI_Ah cool10:41
Paddy_NI_When will Wayland become the default?10:41
darkxstmaybe by the next LTS10:42
Paddy_NI_How stable/performant is it?10:42
darkxstfairly good in 3.16, but still maybe only 95%10:43
Paddy_NI_:-)10:43
darkxstwindow resizing is glitchy10:44
darkxstI think there are issues cut+pasting between wayland apps and Xwayland apps10:44
Paddy_NI_I still don't understand why Canonical are opting to create their own10:45
darkxstdrag and drop still not quite fully functional either10:45
Paddy_NI_Duplication of effort is really regressive behaviour10:45
Paddy_NI_From an anthropological perspective10:46
darkxstI don;t see how its regressive?10:46
mgedminit's always easier to create something new than to understand something existing10:46
darkxstbut pretty sure they wanted a vertically integrated stack10:46
Paddy_NI_I see10:47
darkxstthere original plan was to release in 6 months10:47
darkxstthat never ever would have been possible with wayland (disregarding that fact that it was always unlikely to be possible full stop)10:48
Paddy_NI_Ambitious10:48
Paddy_NI_It would be nice if something like the DLNA would/could be formed between all these different display standards10:49
darkxstshuttleworth was a debian developer, but I sometimes wonder if he has any real coding experience10:50
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Didn't he create VeriSign?10:50
Paddy_NI_grammar fail10:50
Paddy_NI_On my part10:50
darkxstDLNA is rubbish anyway10:51
Paddy_NI_Without it we would have epic duplication of effort10:52
Paddy_NI_And zero interoperability10:52
Paddy_NI_I use UPNP-AV every single day10:52
Paddy_NI_It's how I consume my media10:52
darkxstinstead we have every player/server having to add quirks for nearly every device10:53
Paddy_NI_Yes but the user does not have to care about that10:53
Paddy_NI_As far as they are concerned it's all the same10:53
Paddy_NI_Gratification is the goal10:53
darkxstthey do, when their device don't work with given program10:53
darkxstits really like saying ie6 supported web standards, because most sites in existance added hacks to make it work10:54
Paddy_NI_I do pretty well in my case10:54
Paddy_NI_IE6 did not really though10:54
Paddy_NI_They tried to reinvent the wheel so as to create vendor lock-in10:55
Paddy_NI_My Sony Xperia Z2, Samsung Smart TV, Ubuntu Tower PC and a host of other devices all "just work"10:56
Paddy_NI_I never have a problem with DLNA10:56
Paddy_NI_I have also set my family up with Chromecast, BubbleUPNP, BubbleUPNP Server and either Twonky or minidlna depending on OS10:57
Paddy_NI_They use it almost everyday without issue10:57
darkxstdlna was a good concept but the execution was poor10:59
Paddy_NI_darkxst, I guess that depends on the vendor10:59
darkxstno, you don't see it, because the software is adapting to handles the quirks each vendor has10:59
Paddy_NI_Yes true11:00
darkxstthat is not how 'standards' are meant to work though11:00
Paddy_NI_Thus far Samsung has offered the best experience11:00
darkxstthere is still a duplication of effort there11:00
Paddy_NI_I guess most of the issues are to do with format support11:01
Paddy_NI_codecs11:01
Paddy_NI_That I have seen11:01
Paddy_NI_I have not actually witnessed any other kind of error11:01
Paddy_NI_regarding upnp-av that is11:01
darkxstno, codecs are a whole different story11:02
Paddy_NI_If the vendors stop cheap skating then we should be okay11:02
mgedminif https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/+bug/1384188 won't be fixed for 15.04, I'll be mildly annoyed :/11:04
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1384188 in gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (Ubuntu) "Missing translations for 'Install Ubuntu GNOME' and 'Try Ubuntu GNOME without installing'" [Undecided,Fix released]11:04
Paddy_NI_:-(11:04
darkxstmgedmin, were the translations approved in LP?11:11
mgedminyes11:12
mgedminall this needs is a launchpad export and a package update11:12
mgedminI could probably produce a debdiff with updated translations (iirc the source tree has a script that does that), but I've no upload privileges11:12
darkxstmgedmin, ask on #ubuntu-devel11:13
darkxstsyslinux wont have langpacks11:13
darkxstso maybe it needs a debdiff to import the changes into the package11:14
mgedminasked there two days ago, got this response:11:15
mgedmin"<seb128>cyphermox, ^ it might be one for you? (updating gfxboot-theme-ubuntu with a new translations export)"11:15
mgedmincyphermox never reacted11:15
darkxstfile a bug and/or chase up cyphermox11:17
darkxsthes usually pretty responsive11:18
Paddy_NI_darkxst, I actually almost forget the amount of trouble I had early on with dlna11:20
Paddy_NI_I have developers to that for making up for the shortcomings of the big vendors11:21
Paddy_NI_*thank11:21
Paddy_NI_It would be nice to see some form of UPNP-AV integration with GNOME out-of-the-box11:22
darkxstPaddy_NI_, I don't think totem supports upnp?11:25
darkxstrhytmbox does, but thats only music from memory11:25
Paddy_NI_Cool11:25
Paddy_NI_It would be nice to have something more tightly integrated11:26
Paddy_NI_I always either install Rygel or minidlna11:26
darkxstlike what?11:26
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Something akin to "online accounts"11:26
Paddy_NI_Media Sharing11:27
darkxstpropose it upstream11:27
Paddy_NI_Toggle for photos, toggle for video, toggle for music11:27
Paddy_NI_darkxst, That sounds like a plan11:28
Paddy_NI_Food is needing attention11:29
Paddy_NI_Tomorrow I will make Seafood Chowder, yum11:31
darkxstPaddy_NI_ hungry? so planning tomorrows dinner?11:42
Doo_hello folks11:44
Doo_i'm coming to you to see if someone has the same bug that I have on 14.10 : when i lock my keyboard, keymap (which is usually azerty) switches to qwerty and i loose all tray icons, i has to restart with alt+f2 / r and then re-swtich keymap with super+space to recover my initial state11:46
Doo_that's kind of a pita, if someone has solved this11:46
Doo_i really can use a hint :)11:46
mgedminI've heard about the bug where the keyboard layout reverts to us-ascii11:50
mgedmin(not only heard, I have it)11:51
mgedminlosing tray icons?  no clue11:51
Doo_that's linked imho (i'm using topicons, btw)11:59
Paddy_NI_darkxst, I am in the process of preparing a late lunch12:00
darkxstI had lunch 10 hours ago12:01
Paddy_NI_darkxst, I have plenty of Salmon left over frozen from yesterday and some smoked and unsmoked river cobbler12:01
darkxstwhere are you from?12:01
Paddy_NI_Also a bag of mixed seafood, prawns etc12:01
Paddy_NI_darkxst, Northern Ireland12:01
Paddy_NI_:-)12:01
Paddy_NI_You?12:01
darkxstAustralia12:02
Paddy_NI_Google Keep shopping list: Double Cream12:02
Paddy_NI_This is going to be tasty12:02
Paddy_NI_Australia will be a destination at some point in my life12:02
Paddy_NI_Okay the Upgrade has completed, I shall restart and return :-)12:03
Paddy_NIdarkxst, Buttery smooth :-)12:07
Paddy_NILovely12:07
darkxstPaddy_NI, enjoy12:07
Paddy_NIThis feels right12:07
