Laneyhullo08:03
didrockshey Laney08:03
Laneyyo didrocks08:06
Laneywhat's up08:06
didrocksnothing special since Friday :)08:06
didrocksand you?08:06
Laneyummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm08:08
Laneydid some gardening at the weekend! :)08:08
Laneynow we have food instead of weeds (and some flowers)08:08
didrocksnice08:10
Laneymaybe08:10
Laneyslugs got the lettuce we planted two weeks ago08:11
Laneyin two days :( :( :(08:11
didrocksno good exposure?08:12
Laneynah just slugs being slugs08:13
seb128hey larsu08:13
Laneyneed to fight them somehow08:13
larsumorning Laney!08:16
Laneyahoy larsu08:18
pittihey Laney08:26
pittiLaney: we have tons of them as well, I can only recommend beer traps -- they work like a charm!08:27
Laneyhey pitti, are you well?08:27
pittiand we now plant our herbs into a wooden box instead of directly into the ground -- slugs can't climb wood08:27
Laneywe started collecting egg shells08:28
pittiLaney: I am, yes! we spent a long weekend at my wife's grandmother in Berlin, and helped with a few things08:28
Laneyapparently they can't go over those08:28
Laneyah, nice change of scene08:29
pittiLaney: I dig a few glass jars into the ground, let the top 1 cm stick out, and fill them with a bit of beer and some water, to fill them roughly half full08:29
larsubeer?08:29
Laneydrunk slug is dead slug08:30
pittiyeah, slugs are crazy for that, mostly the yeast I suppose -- they go into the jar and just drown there08:30
pittihappy death, I figure :)08:30
pittiand it's totally harmless to hedgehogs, cats, and everything else in the garden08:30
* pitti doesn't like using poison or salt08:31
Laneywill keep that in the arsenal for next time08:31
* ogra_ just adds more hedgehogs to his garden ;)08:39
seb128Laney, pitti, they don't like copper much either, you can put wires or they sell some sort of strap also for that08:42
seb128http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qpNMPCW7L._SX300_.jpg08:43
pittiseb128: hm, isn't that poisonous for plants/trees too? I've heard you can slowly kill a tree by putting a copper nail into it08:44
seb128pitti, I didn't know about that, but put on the ground or on the wood from your boxes shouldn't hurt anything08:46
flexiondotorgI need to make a minor change to the 'debian/' packaging of software-center to add support for mate-polkit.10:28
flexiondotorgIs this the correct packaging repo for software-center? - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntuone-control-tower/software-center/packaging-dailies/files10:28
flexiondotorgOr should I just created a debdiff?10:29
didrocksflexiondotorg: yeah, seems to me the branch used for packaging10:31
didrocksso that should be good enough, dobey or mvo can certainly confirm10:31
Laneycould do with being synced with the archive then10:32
didrocksyeah10:32
flexiondotorgI'm happy to do a merge request for packing-dailies or a debdiff. Just need to know what is preferred :-)10:32
LaneyI'd do a debdiff because I suspect that nobody uses a vcs for packaging it atm10:34
Laneyunless someone wants to undertake to refresh that daily branch10:34
Laney(in which case you'd add Vcs- tags in debian/control too)10:34
didrocksI wonder if the dailies are still built, indeed10:35
yarajuDoes anyone know where I can find a 12.04 (precise) backport for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make? I want the whole autonatic updates thing for Android Studio.10:36
yarajuI'm considering creating a 12.0.4 backport, but would rather use an existing backport if there's one out there10:37
yaraju(I've never yet created a backport)10:37
flexiondotorgLaney, didrocks Thanks. I'll submit a debdiff.10:38
didrocksyaraju: you will need to add quite a bunch of things in a ppa or the official backports ppa as ubuntu make is python310:38
didrocksso it will be a lot of work to do it. I'm unsure anyone started on this already10:39
yarajudidrocks: Honour to hear straight from you!10:39
didrocks(or is it worth, we have 14.04 as latest good LTS with an optimized unity) ;)10:39
didrocksyaraju: ;)10:39
yarajuyes, I can make out that would be quite some work then. *sigh*10:39
Laneythe one and only didrocks!10:40
yarajudidrocks: yes, I hear you. I'm a solo dev of a startup so I'm a little hesitant to redo my dev environment at the moment.10:40
yarajuI might just keep myself happy with downloading Android Studio for now in that case.10:40
didrocksyaraju: another way can be to use pip and virtualenv if you are familiar with it10:41
didrocksbut yeah, seems if you are only interested in one dev environment, can be just worthy to download it manually10:41
yarajudidrocks: Yes. I might consider it if I get into more dart stuff too... that would add more elements from the ubuntu-make system that will be nice to keep managed. :)10:42
* didrocks doesn't feel alone to be excited about Dart anymore :p10:42
didrocksyeah, just a world of warning, the Dart team is doing major changes right now, I'm even unsure how I'll be able to deal with this in Ubuntu Make10:43
didrocks(they are removing Dart Editor as soon as in next release)10:43
didrocksif you are interested here are the packages I needed to backport for trusty: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-make?field.series_filter=trusty10:43
yarajuAah I see. That's a big change. I thought that's one of their best deals.10:43
didrocksI bet the list for lucid is way longer10:43
didrocksyeah, they developped a webstorm IDE10:43
didrockswhich makes sense, Android Studio is based as well on intellij10:44
didrocksthe thing is that there is no free version of webstorm, and installing the plugin on raw intellij doesn't give you the nice html/css completion10:44
didrocksso on that one, to get a nice env, I'm on the "wait and see" phase :)10:44
yarajudidrocks: Speaking of which - I noticed Webstorm is supposed to be on ubuntu-make as well - isn't Webstorm a 30-day trial?10:45
yarajuOr does ubuntu-make package the full version, and have you give it the license?10:45
didrocksyaraju: no magic, only downloading the 30 day trial, and then, you can give it the license key if you have any10:46
yarajudidrocks: Ok, makes sense. I don't yet have an IntelliJ or Webstorm license, though considering it. IDEA already has me very pampered.10:47
didrocksyeah, IDEA is nice, for python, I'm using Pycharm, which is based on it10:47
didrocksand Android Studio is just… an awesome env :)10:48
didrocksfor web, I'm using atom.io, I would like to integrate it with Ubuntu Make at some point10:48
yarajuI use Python every single time I have to do anything Python. For web, I've been sticking to Aptana for now... since Webstorm is - 30-day10:48
yarajuor, as of now - Chrome Dev Editor.10:48
yarajuAnd yes, can't agree more about Android Studio - for both Android frontend as well as backend. :)10:49
yaraju(if using GAE, etc.)10:49
didrocksexactly :)10:49
didrocksChrome Dev Editor, never sticked to it more than a couple of hours (finding the html/css/javascript completion not good enough for my newbie skills)10:49
yarajudidrocks: That's a point. it's terrible with suggestions - but just really good if I'm doing fast iterations with polymer or chrome extensions.10:50
yarajuAnd "good enough" git integration for a small team10:50
didrocksyeah, I don't use those git integration, that's still something I do by hand, but I can understand why people wants to get that in their IDE. +1 on Chrome Dev integration with polymer10:51
didrockslet's see who would get a good polymer 0.9 (or probably 1.0 at Google IO) integration first though ;)10:51
yaraju:) Yes, indeed.10:52
yaraju*fingers crossed*10:52
yarajui want Polymer to grow fast and well - it's a life-saver for a mainly backend guy10:52
didrocksI wouldn't have even consider diving in frontend world before I saw (first angular) and now polymer, so I know what you exactly mean! :)10:53
* didrocks still needs to update one component to 0.9 though, I skipped 0.810:53
yaraju:) I've just stuck to Polymer 0.5 for now - as it's what's mostly documented on the main site....10:54
yarajuare there drastic changes?10:54
didrocksyeah, quite a lot… API breakage, but a good migration guide10:54
didrocksthe whole target is to get it fast, even on non chrome browser10:54
yarajuAah ok.10:54
didrocksand all components have been renamed to mark this change10:55
didrockslike core- are now iron-10:55
yarajuAah I see.10:56
yarajuDecided to just download Android Studio now... and try to gather the guts to upgrade to 14.0.4 soon.. :)10:58
didrocksheh, keep us posted! 14.0.4 is a really nice LTS, worthes it! (once you get some time)10:59
yarajuHmm. But Ubuntu 12.0.4 is so good too - except for the occasional Compiz crash. Lol!10:59
didrocksLTS rocks ;)11:00
Laneyonly two years left to migrate ;-)11:01
Laney"Jenkins Fixed" - the best kind of email11:01
didrocksLaney: I feel it's a bonus point when you did nothing for it :p11:01
Laneyhaha11:02
yarajudidrocks: Agreed about LTS. :)11:04
yarajuLaney: 2 years to migrate always feels like a lot... until it becomes 2 weeks11:04
yarajuStill, much better than most other OSs - which force-migrate you before they even feel ready for the next version. :P11:05
didrocks1(migrating my home dir, so keeping that account meanwhile)11:07
ricotzhey desktopers11:19
ricotzLaney, hi, did you notice GFileMonitor isn't working anymore with 2.45.1?11:20
Laneyricotz: no, can't confirm that it's completely not working but I did file some bugs about trash handling that look like glocalfile bugs11:21
Laneyplease file upstream11:21
ricotzLaney, ok, i can confirm is not working at all11:21
ricotzdesrt, hi, so the rewrite broke it somehow ;)11:22
ricotzdesrt, Laney, for confirmation https://paste.debian.net/plain/17950411:23
Laneyricotz: works for me, sorry11:33
ricotzLaney, hmm, works with 2.44.x, but not with git master (2.45.1+)11:34
Laneyyes that's the pattern, I believe there's a bug but it's not totally broken11:34
Laneyricotz: try https://paste.debian.net/download/179521 which is a modified version of my example for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74931711:35
ubot5Gnome bug 749317 in gio "Sometimes events are missed when monitoring trash://" [Normal,New]11:35
Laneythat also WFM but the trash:// case doesn't11:36
ricotzok, let me check, for me all events are missing, your examples just logs CREATED/DELETED11:38
Laneyyes11:38
Laneyif all are missing and you see one then you haven't reproduced the bug :)11:39
=== benedikt_ is now known as Guest64809
ricotzLaney, ok, so it looks like directory-monitoring works, but not file-monitoring11:42
ricotzLaney, your test "works" which is a directory-monitor11:42
Laneyalso wfm with a file monitor11:43
Laneyanyway, perhaps post your findings in the bug11:43
Laneyprobably depends on some weird details that I don't know about :)11:43
ricotzi assume you are running the stock wily kernel?11:44
ricotz4.0.3 mainline ppa build here11:44
Laneyya11:44
ricotzand /tmp is on a ssd here11:45
Laneysame11:45
Laneytry the archive's kernel then11:46
ricotzLaney, tested it on another machine and it seems unrelated to the kernel11:55
ricotzalthough the result in another on that machine, your test works, and mine received 3 events and stuck11:56
* Laney is probably out of usefulness, your friendly local glib maintainer should be with you shortly11:57

dobeyflexiondotorg, didrocks: no, packaging-dailies is for the obsolete daily builds ppa13:13
dobeyflexiondotorg, didrocks: for changes to ubuntu packaging make changes in lp:ubuntu/software-center13:13
flexiondotorgdobey, Thanks.13:13
dobeyalthough, i think pkg import is broken on it, so you need to use the apt-get source for it13:13
dobey(or pull-lp-source rather)13:14
flexiondotorgdobey, Understood.13:14

Trevinholarsu: hey15:56
Trevinholarsu: do you happen to know why the gtk menus have an edge that takes input now?15:57
larsuTrevinho: they do?16:32
larsuhow can I see that?16:32
Trevinholarsu: yes... vivid (unity at least), right click on the desktop and try to click on the edge of the menu (few pixels around the menu area): it won't close16:33
larsuTrevinho: it does for me on W16:34
Trevinholarsu: has W a different gtk version than V?16:34
* Trevinho lazy16:34
larsuTrevinho: nope, but I do apparently :D16:34
* larsu is on 3.16 from Laney's ppa16:34
Trevinhowell that might be enough to get the fix done :)16:35
larsuright16:35
Trevinholarsu: not sure wether ambiance matters also (I think it could)16:35
larsuTrevinho: which theme are you using?16:35
* Trevinho adds missing 'h'16:35
Trevinholarsu: stock ambiance16:36
larsuya, me too16:36
TrevinhoI went through the changes to gtkmenu but I didn't see anything related, but I guess it's something at lower leve16:37
Trevinhol16:37
larsumight be, not sure. Never saw this issue myself tbh16:37
Trevinhome neither... AP noticed it..16:38
Trevinhoas it wasn't able to close menus in unity...16:38
seb128is that sideeffect from the border rendering done in the theme?16:38
Trevinhoseb128: I think so... but in general that part should use XShape to not get input16:42
Laneybye!17:00
didrocksgood evening Laney17:02
jonohey all17:51
jonoanyone know why desktop next doesn't work in virtualbox?17:51
jonolighted won't log me in17:51
jonolightdm17:51
seb128jono, you probably don't have working 3d support there?18:17
seb128mir doesn't work on software rendering18:17
seb128kenvandine, did we have the hotspot code loading the updates plugin before? or are we going to do that only to get the model?18:32
kenvandineit's new18:33
kenvandinewe do it in the about plugin already18:33
kenvandineseemed like the easiest way to do it18:33
kenvandineonce we work out the mako issue, we won't need this18:33
kenvandineif you try to enable it on mako, it will drive the load so high the device reboots18:34
kenvandinewpasupplicant spinning18:34
seb128kenvandine, shrug, there must be a better hack18:39
seb128kenvandine, like getting the info from qtsystems or something?18:39
kenvandinei don't think we can18:39
seb128kenvandine, the updates plugin is not cheap to init18:39
kenvandineit's much cheaper now that it used to be18:39
seb128read /etc/lsbsomething? ;-)18:39
kenvandines/that/than18:39
kenvandineand it doesn't do a check or anything when it's loaded18:40
kenvandineit's handy because it's exposed from system-image-dbus18:40
kenvandinewe really can't blacklist per device this way long term, so this code shouldn't live for long18:40
kenvandineit just doesn't scale for multiple devices18:41
kenvandinei'm just tired of not getting hotspot support landed because of mako... we need people to start using it :)18:41
seb128kenvandine, right, I just don't like much the workaround18:43
seb128there must be a better way than loading another panel backend just for that18:43
seb128kenvandine, the about panel uses "deviceInfos.model()" which is from qtsystem18:45
seb128hum, no, in fact on the phone it uses the backend which calls property_get18:46
seb128well, I guess it's about the same18:46
seb128kenvandine, I still hate that solution :p18:46
seb128kenvandine, make sure to add a comment next to the import saying it can go away once we don't need the workaround ;-)18:47
kenvandineok, will do18:47
seb128thanks18:47
kenvandinei'm not a big fan either... but tired of hotspot support not landing :/18:48
seb128Laney, saw you uploaded remmina ... there is a patch to avoid a segfault on !x11 in the sponsoring queue, maybe you want to review it/include in ubuntu/debian18:48
seb128kenvandine, why do we block features to land on buggy/unsupported devices?18:48
kenvandineseb128, because as soon as someone tries to use it on mako... it'll be real bad :)18:50
kenvandineseb128, it's not the only thing been holding it up18:50
kenvandinebut it's about the last thing18:50
seb128k18:50
seb128and there is nothing we can check to figure out that support is working or not?18:50
kenvandineand we think awe will be fixing that bug, but it isn't near the top of his list yet :/18:51
kenvandineno, because as best we can tell it should work18:51
kenvandinebut if you enable it, wpasupplicant goes nuts18:51

ChrisTownsendseb128: Hey, so org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences action-middle-click-titlebar has been changed from lower to none in gsettings-desktop-schemas.  What is your opinion of distro patching this back to lower?  It currently breaking a couple of Unity AP tests and just trying to figure out the best course of action.19:34
seb128ChrisTownsend, we should add that to the ubuntu-settings override with the old value19:44
ChrisTownsendseb128: Ah, right, I forgot about that package.19:45
ChrisTownsendseb128: I'll work on a MP for it.  I suppose a 15.04 SRU would be in order too.19:46
