pittiGood morning04:19
darkxstpitti, hey04:22
pittihey darkxst04:22
darkxstpitti, do you know if there are really still cases where plymouth can get stuck with a 16color framebuffer?04:22
pittidarkxst: I don't know (I've never worked on plymouth/graphical boot), but it seems unlikely04:23
pittiwith KMS it of course doesn't happen, with fbdev it shouldn't either, and the next fallback is plain text mode04:24
darkxstpitti, right, and pretty much everything on intel platforms is using KMS these days?04:24
pittiI don't know about the proprietary nvidia/amd drivers04:25
pittinvidia had used plaintext boot for a long time, not sure if that's still the case04:25
darkxstnvidia have KMS, but its not the standard one, think they are porting over to that though04:25
pittioh, they do? I thought KMS was GPL-only, so you can't legally have a KMS-capable proprietary driver04:26
pittibut maybe that changed now04:26
darkxstI think they blacklisted the graphical plymouth, because it causing problems with their framebuffer04:26
darkxstpitti, they are doing a big restructure of their kernel side to support wayland etc04:27
pittior that; but then you also wouldn't run into a graphical 16 color fb04:27
darkxstyeh exactly that is just text04:27
pittior are you talking about the classical text mode?04:27
pittithat happens all the time, and must be supported04:27
darkxstno the ubuntu theme, has fallback to 16color04:27
darkxst(graphical)04:28
darkxstbut that is a pain for what we want to do since there is no alpha channel then04:28
darkxstand I guess worst case is they won't see the animation if it really happens, other things like passwords etc are all the same as per ubuntu theme04:29
darkxstpitti, btw I think nividia are going to register their own KMS service that than emulates the GPL-only API's from within their driver04:40
pittiheh -- kernel license wars :)04:41
darkxstindeed04:44
darkxstand nothing ever happens to the companies that just blatantly abuse GPL code04:47
pittiaside from being shown the finger, but they can surely live with that :)04:48
darkxstthere are far worse companies out there than nvidia!04:49

larsuseb128, morning!07:52
* larsu didn't see you come in07:52
seb128good morning desktopers!07:52
seb128hey larsu, how are you?07:52
larsuseb128, great thanks! convincing quilt to take changes to my patch07:52
larsuhow are you?07:52
didrocksgood morning seb12807:52
seb128quilt refresh!07:53
larsuya...07:53
seb128I'm good thanks ;-)07:53
seb128hey didrocks07:53
larsubut quilt add, too07:53
larsuseb128, we miss you in that certain other channel07:53
pittihey seb128!07:57
pittihello larsu07:57
seb128hey pitti07:57
larsu"morning" pitti07:57
seb128larsu, oh, right, removed that from my list yesterday and I'm not really looking at IRC yet today ;-)07:57
pittilarsu: yeah, almost lunchtime :)07:57
larsuhehe07:58
larsuseb128, no worries :)07:58
larsufyi: I'm off this afternoon07:58
pittiseb128: did you notice that the new bluetooth indicator regressed again? if you disable bluetooth it disappears entirely instead of graying out07:58
pittididn't we fix this like three times already?07:58
larsuisn't that by design?07:58
seb128larsu, oh? have fun!07:59
didrockspitti: you meant *run*time07:59
larsuseb128, helping a friend move to Hamburg :)07:59
pittididrocks: cą aussi !07:59
larsuah, pitti is right, it should be insensitive instead of disappearing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth#PC08:00
pittithat's how it worked with bluez408:01
larsuit should only disappear when the computer doesn't have bluetooth08:01
pittiI think with bluez5 it went away entirely, and the new version from yesterday didn't fix that yet08:01
pittialthough it should really only look at rfkill, not at bluez08:01
pittithis bug keeps coming back :(08:01
pitti(we do have a mock for rfkill, just saying..)08:01
seb128larsu, hope it's not raining ;-)08:01
larsuthanks. looks fine so far08:02
larsuvery sunny08:02
larsupitti, maybe it can't differentiate between "bluetooth is off" and "no bluetooth hw available"08:02
seb128pitti, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth#Indicator_and_menu states08:02
seb128"When Bluetooth is off, to save space the Bluetooth indicator should not be present at all. "08:02
seb128talk to mpt about it I guess?08:03
larsuseb128, this is on the phone, though08:03
seb128larsu, convergence? ;-)08:03
larsuseb128, yes, I agree, but the spec says otherwise for the desktop08:03
pittilarsu: sure it can; check rfkill list, you'll have a soft blocked bluetooth device08:03
pittithat's how it was fixed previously08:03
larsupitti, just thinking out loud :)08:03
Laneyhai08:03
larsuL.a.n.e.y!08:04
pittiit's really wrong for a desktop to disappear -- you have no (obvious) way to reenable it08:04
seb128hey Laney08:04
pittihey Laney, how are you?08:04
larsupitti, same on the phone, no?08:04
seb128pitti, did that fix you mention ever landed?08:04
seb128I though we had issues when robert_ancell previously tried to do that08:04
pittiseb128: sure, it has worked fine since vivid08:04
larsupitti, I tend to agree though - and we have more than enough space in the menu bar08:04
LaneyGREAT!08:04

ubot5bug 1126108 in indicator-bluetooth (Ubuntu) "Indicator disappears entirely when disabling / turning off bluetooth" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/112610808:04

seb128pitti, k, dunno then, patches are welcome ;-) that indicator is basically on low maintainance, I doubt anyone is actively looking at it08:05
* larsu slowly walks away08:05
didrocksgood morning Laney08:05
larsuLaney, how was climbing?08:06
Laneygood try08:06
Laneybut incorrect08:06
Laneytuesday -> pub quiz08:06
larsuhm?08:06
larsuah. damn. sorry :)08:06
larsuhow was the pub quiz?08:06
willcookedidrocks, am trying to move that meeting now08:09
didrockswillcooke: thanks!08:11
larsumorning willcooke08:11
willcookehey larsu08:11
larsuhow's the sprint?08:11
Laneylarsu: we came (joint) second, but 4(!!!) points behind the winners08:16
Laneywas fun08:16
larsuLaney, the correct German term for this is "ärgerlich"08:16
larsu(there's no good english translation)08:17
LaneyI know es ärgert mich08:19
larsuyeah that works as well but sounds a bit stronger to me08:19
Laneywell I don't know the difference08:20
Laneybut I know what my one means :P08:20
Laneydoes it mean "I really hope they weren't using their mobile phones"? :)08:20
larsuhahaha08:20
larsuit's the adjective to "ärgern"08:21
larsuso in theory it's very similar08:21
larsubut it's used with weaker meaning08:21
larsuI love bug #40169208:42
ubot5bug 401692 in gedit "Gedit - default file name is "unsaved document"" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40169208:42
larsuwe've carried a patch since '09 for this...08:42
seb128:-)08:43
seb128we can drop the patch now?08:43
larsuno!08:43
seb128so "we carry ..."08:43
larsuthe upstream bug even has comments from this year08:43
larsuseb128, true :)08:43
* larsu makes them a proper patch and comments08:43
seb128well at least it's an easy to maintain change08:43
larsuit's also stupid08:43
larsubut yeah...08:43
larsueasily applied08:44
seb128right08:44
seb128still woth it imho, it's confusing that your saved documented are name unsaved document by default08:44
larsuyes of course!08:44
larsuunsaved is so stupid that I don't even begin to understand how they didn't change it upstream yet08:45
* larsu goes all mpt on them and makes a list of apps and their default file names08:45
seb128lol08:46

larsurobert_ancell, thanks!08:46

seb128I'm not getting used to the new ui when maximized :-(10:42
larsumenubar patch is definitely coming (but won't have time today, have to leave)10:42
seb128the titlebar showing under the panel and the double decorations are really annoying :-/10:43
larsuseb128, headerbar is not yet decided. I'll add a patch if we don't10:43
larsuseb128, yeah... I have the same issue. We could theme it differently when maximizefd10:43

Trevinho:o13:41
willcookeJust to let you know, I've put it on the list for consideration13:41
willcookeif you have any good ideas, let me know13:41
Trevinhoyeah, that's actually something I noticed as well13:41
willcookeJohnLea said pretty much the only option is to put it in to the right-click screen13:42
willcookepreview I guess it's called :)13:42
Trevinhomh, yeah I was thinking exactly the same13:42
Trevinhoyes preview13:42
Trevinhobut... Well, having a quick look is also soemthing that can help13:42
willcookebut anyway, just ponder it at your leisure, if you think of anything cool, let me know13:42
Trevinhomaybe... Something on mouse hover such as showing a collapsed path13:42
willcookewe spoke about that, adding a whole new thing in hover seems like a bad idea, but I think it's a better solution than having to click13:43
willcookeso, dunnno13:43
Trevinhobut indeed preview should state it13:43
willcookeoki, well - it's on the list :)13:43
TrevinhoNo I didn't want things such as pop-ups, but something like that the name changes once you're hovering for a certain amount of time13:44
willcookeohh, nice13:44
willcookehover over it and the full path could scroll by?13:44
