larsudidrocks: nickel! merci06:28
larsupitti: morning :) Do you know if we can get the journal to keep the most recent N logs?06:29
larsuI see the point of not storing all of them, but having the last after a crash is probably useful06:29
pittihey larsu06:29
pittilarsu: sure, just enable persistent journal, see /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian06:30
larsuI think I did this with `mkdir /var/log/journal`06:30
larsubut according to its man page, it now stores everything, no?06:30
pittilarsu: or just look at syslog, if you have that installed (I enabled persistant journal and uninstalled rsyslog)06:30

NewwwDevelopers! Please add the following item. On windows there is a convenient option to specify a file for download in the form http links. Example https://pp.vk.me/c629117/v629117790/eee0/LRcvOplaV8I.jpg I want to upload the file to the file sharing. This file is located on another server. On windows I can provide a link to a file that is dialog box itself will load the file into a temporary folder, and select it.13:31
=== JMulholland_ is now known as JMulholland
NewwwOn Unity, I have to first download the file to, and then specify the file.13:31
larsuNewww: to upload, you can use nautilus' "Connect to server" feature. You can then select that server from the sidebar13:32
Newwwlarsu: No, I just want to dialog supported http links, not just local files.13:34
larsunot sure I understand. Do you want to open http links in an app or upload files to some http server while saving?13:35
NewwwI want to open http links in an app, Some apps such links, and some do not, like the chrome or firefox.13:37
larsuall apps using gvfs should support this just fine13:37
larsugedit works, for example13:37
* larsu opens google.com in gedit and feels awesome13:38
NewwwMore specifically, I want to choose the file to something from another server directly to the dialog box itself elected him, loaded into a temporary folder. So much faster than most.13:39
NewwwYes, it works to open, but not selected. Chrome or firefox not support this, but windows I often use it, it is convenient and reduces time.13:41
NewwwLittle such detail that really need :)13:42
larsuah, so you do want it the other way around. I don't think that works unless you add a server in nautilus13:43
didrocksbye unity-panel-service, you didn't need to take 98% of my CPU IMHO13:44
larsudidrocks: probably it's doing something important13:45
larsudon't interrupt it!13:45
didrockslarsu: ofc!13:45
qenghoNewww: is this only in web browsers that you can paste a location of a remote resource? Is it a place you normally type a local file name?13:45
larsuit started displaying very small fonts for me recently13:46
NewwwAdding a server is not necessary, there are so many different servers, each adding it's inconvenient. It seems to me that you do not understand me a little bit.13:46
Newwwqengho: Exactly!13:47
qenghoI'm guessing that the file selector on Windows is less strict. A web page asks for a file to upload. You don't pick a file, but instead paste a URL. Windows' browser sends that text string to the remote end, which processes it magically. Ubuntu's file selector makes sure you are sending a file.13:49
mdeslaur_mpt: excellent comment, I didn't properly handle that. I've proposed a new order, could you take another look? https://code.launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/indicator-power/fix-priorities/+merge/26090313:50
Newwwqengho: On windows dialog box downloads the file on this link -> saves it to a temporary folder -> select the downloaded file.13:53
qenghoOh. Weird.13:53
NewwwBut it is logical and very comfortable. Other programs like Krita allow you to select a file link, but do the same thing, first download, and then inserted into the program.13:55
larsuhm? Now we're talking about downloading again?13:56
NewwwI mean, Krita itself downloading a file link.13:58
NewwwAlthough I'm not sure, maybe it makes the dialog box. Then why does not he do it for the web browser?13:59

seb128popey, unsure that's easy to solve/worth the effort14:11
seb128you can use the gnome-screenshot UI instead of the keybinding to workaround it14:11
willcookepopey, done.  Please leave the money in the usual place.14:11
popeyits a regression introduced with LIM14:11
willcookeseb128, I've added the rls-w-incoming tag ;)14:11
popeyit _should_ have been fixed releases ago14:11
seb128willcooke, fair enough, I'm just saying that I bet some money that it's not fixed for the LTS ;-)14:11
popeyworking around a default keyboard shortcut because the default keyboard shortcut we ship is broken seems.. broken14:12
seb128popey, not sure we can call that regression, it was always there with LIM, you disable LIM you are back to what we had14:12
seb128note that LIM is not default14:12
popeytrue, so not a regression, but LIM breaks screenshots, and LIM is on the CD by default14:13
popeyanyway, lets see if someone steps up to fix it14:13
seb128I doubt it14:13
seb128but let's see14:13
popey:(14:13
seb128out of changing the default keybinding to be e.g shift+printscreen14:13
seb128but that's a workaround14:13
seb128if you set to alt it's going to have the issue again14:13
popeyindeed, all workarounds14:13
popeyI suspect it can be fixed by changing the timing for how quickly the titlebar fades back14:14
popeymaybe a few ms difference could fix it14:14
mptmdeslaur_, this terminology predates your change, but I can’t judge your proposal because I don’t understand the distinction between “1. discharging items…” “5. batteries” and “7. non-line power”14:15
mptShould “batteries” be “fully-charged batteries”?14:15
mptAnd is “non-line power” just a UPS, or does it cover batteries in some situations too?14:16
seb128popey, changing the animation might mean compromising on what we think is the best visual experience just for a screenshoter bug easy to workaround, doesn't seem a good deal14:16
seb128we could also delay the screenshot14:16
seb128but at the price of making it less reactive, which would bug users would want to take a screenshot of a state of something changing14:17

seb128sethj, likely good to be closed14:22
larsuthis blog post worked...14:23
charlesmpt, 'non-line power' is a bad term that mdeslaur_ seems to have gotten from a comment I wrote, it's my fault :)14:23
charlesmpt, iirc, and from looking at the code, it's shorthand for upower 'kinds' that aren't battery or line power, e.g.14:24
seb128larsu, what blog post?14:24
charlesmpt, keyboard, mouse14:24
larsuseb128: willcooke's14:25
seb128larsu, oh :-)14:25
larsuseems like more bug activity today14:25
seb128right14:25
charlesmpt, so it mean "everything else after batteries and line power", maybe mdeslaur_ will be kind enough to tweak my comment when he pushes the revision you suggested :-)14:26
mptsethj, it’s a side-effect of bug 76416. Basically Unity has some bug reports filed against the project, some against the package, some against both at once. That one was filed against both, and marked fixed for one, never marked fixed for the other.14:26
ubot5bug 76416 in Launchpad itself "Poor handling of a distribution being its own upstream for a package" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/7641614:26
sethjmpt, so if I can't reproduce it should I mark it invalid or fix released?14:27
mdeslaur_charles, mpt: ok, so it looks like "batteries" means "fully charged batteries", and non-line power is "all other devices"14:28
mptsethj, so it’s good to look at both bug lists: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity> and <https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity>14:28
mptIf it’s marked fixed for one, it’s almost certainly fixed for the other too, especially if it happened years ago. :-)14:29
mdeslaur_charles, mpt: actually, "non-line power" would mean "fully charged other devices"14:29
mdeslaur_I assume if something isn't charging or discharging it's fully-charged...but perhaps that assumption is wropng14:29
sethjmpt, cool. Thanks for the lists tip, I hadn't thought of that xD14:31
willcookesethj, you good to mark that bug as Fix Released?14:32
mdeslaur_right, it can be "unknown" too14:32
sethjwillcooke, yup, I can't reproduce it, and I have never experienced it either.14:32
willcookethanks sethj14:33
sethjlooks like this bug is in the same position: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/97798414:33
ubot5Ubuntu bug 977984 in unity (Ubuntu Precise) "Quicklists and tooltips sometimes lose their blur" [High,Confirmed]14:33
mdeslaur_charles, mpt: "5- batteries that are neither charging nor discharging", "7- all other devices that are neither charging no discharging", "8- Line power"14:34
mptsethj, yep. Maybe willcooke can get those bug reports with conflicting states cleaned up as a batch.14:34
sethjthat seems like it would be a good idea.14:35
charlesmdeslaur_, mpt, in meeting, but ^ 5 7 8 sound good (but typo 's/no/not/' on 7)14:35
willcookempt, sethj - good plan14:35
willcookeI'll add it to my script14:35
willcookeshould be easy enough, once I've worked out why I keep getting " Resource is not bound to any representation, and no media media type was specified."14:36
larsuthat's because the resource is not bound to any representation! duh!!14:38
mptwillcooke, at my suggestion unity8 switched to tracking bugs on just the package (bug 1364477). Maybe Unity 7 can do the same, unless there’s some SRU-related reason to keep them separate.14:38
ubot5bug 1364477 in Unity 8 "Unity 8 has two unsynced bug lists" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/136447714:38
willcookempt, I'll look in to it, thanks14:39
mptcharles, so should it be “7. fully-charged keyboard/mouse”?14:41
mptcharles, and “8. UPS”?14:42
mdeslaur_mpt: 7 is unknown, ups, monitor, mouse, keyboard, pda, phone, edia player, tablet and computer14:42
mptSo what is “line power” then? :-)14:42
mdeslaur_"line power" means a power supply14:42
mdeslaur_AC14:43
mdeslaur_Which I have no idea why we would want to display14:43
mdeslaur_oh, we don't display it, it's special-case elsewhere14:45

desrtcute: mount -o bind /home /mnt; mount -o bind /home/desrt /mnt15:19
desrtwhat do you think this does?15:19
desrtthe correct answer, of course is "replace the contents of /home with /home/desrt"15:19
desrtie: /home/desrt stops existing and /home now contains my homedir, directly15:20
desrtthis is not how i thought bind mounts worked.....15:21
larsudesrt: what did you expect?15:29
didrocksI guess he expected to have /mnt containg /home/desrt and having the /home bindmount "shadowed"15:33
didrocksinteresting behavior btw :)15:33
desrti didn't expect that playing around with bindmounts instead of /mnt might impact the world outside /mnt ...15:38
desrt*inside of15:38
pittidesrt: welcome to the world of having mounts "shared" by default :/15:38
desrtya.  this is really strange.15:41
desrtis this some recent change?15:42
pittidesrt: with systemd; it was a huge debate back then15:42
desrthow does systemd have any control over this?15:42
pittidesrt: it's a kernel default (whether mounts are private or public by default)15:43
desrtah15:43
pittisome sysctl thingy15:43
pittiand systemd changes it15:43
desrtthis is ... weird15:43
pittiit broke quite a lot of things back then15:43
pittiI mean, those fixes were correct in the sense that anyone else could also have flipped that sysctl, but it was still weird15:44
pittiI had preferred if nspawn or whatever would have configured its mounts public when needed15:44
pittibut oh well, water under the bridge15:44
* pitti toddles off for making dinner15:44
desrtpitti: do you know the name of the sysctl?15:44
desrtnot containing 'mount' nor 'bind' as one may expect15:45

desrtand specific to the root filesystem only, is _really_ weird15:46

mdeslaur_mpt, charles: ok, I'm going to put this on hold for a while. Reading the upower source, it looks like the _only_ devices it calculates time remaining for is laptop batteries, and that is likely going away soon.16:03
mptmdeslaur_, really? Yay bizarre upstreams16:04
mdeslaur_mpt: it's calculating the time remaining based on the "energy discharge rate", and since windows doesn't use that value, more and more hardware is coming out with bogus values there16:05
mptmdeslaur_, why is that a thing anyway? There’s probably something I don’t understand, but I’d just measure the percentage remaining at time T, and then at time T+n, and calculate the rate from that16:07
mpt(“just” <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?JustIsaDangerousWord>)16:07
mdeslaur_mpt: that may work for a laptop battery, but my mouse for example only has something like three percentages: 92%, 48%, 5%16:09
mpthaha16:09
mdeslaur_yeah, yay for hardware16:09
mptYay operating systems that try to work on hardware made by vendors who don’t care16:10
mdeslaur_hehe, yeah16:10

robert_ancellwillcooke, how is the bug squashing response going?16:58
willcookerobert_ancell, we had a response16:58
willcooke:)16:58
willcookethe first of many, I'm surre16:58

willcookerobert_ancell, sethj wins the prize16:59
robert_ancellMost bugs closed?16:59

willcookewe'll have closed a couple of hundred by the end of the day17:00
willcookebut mostly old apport crashes17:00
sethjif I win the prize that's pretty sad as I've only processed 4/5 bugs so far :(17:01
willcookesethj, early days17:01
sethjspeaking of that however, I don't see how this is actually a Unity bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/97101817:01
ubot5Ubuntu bug 971018 in Unity "Auto-hide Unity Launcher will not reveal when mouse pushed to left side in VirtualBox or VMware" [High,Confirmed]17:01
* willcooke <- eternal optimist 17:01
sethjTurning off mouse mouse pointer integration and it all works 100%17:01
sethjwillcooke, lol. Optimism is good :)17:02
willcookesethj, right so they're saying that once the mouse leaves the vbox screen then you can't open the launcher17:03
willcookeI don't think we can do much about that17:03
* willcooke fires up vbox17:03
sethjwillcooke, yeah, basically. It's on Vbox to decide when the pointer is in the VM and when it's in the host, and it chooses host.17:03
sethjI dunno if that makes it invalid or what though.17:04
willcookesethj, go with "Won't Fix"17:05
sethjkk, thanks.17:06
willcookewe wont ever get around to improving it, and there are a couple of work-arounds, don't hide the launcher, or use super key or alt-f117:06
willcookesethj, fyi - there is some suggested text on the wiki page:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BigDesktopBugScrub17:07
willcookeI'll add one for "Won't Fix"17:08
didrockssee you guys!17:09
willcookesee ya didrocks17:10
Laneyhmm there's no relevant difference in files between the two firefoxen17:10
willcookeactually sethj - I wonder if Opinion is a better choice.  That way its there to be picked up by anyone else if they want to work on it.17:11
sethjwillcooke, yup! Been using those when applicable. I don't have "won't fix" privs though. Do you want me to add a tag or do you want to do it.?17:11
willcookesethj, I'll do it now17:12
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD
sethjwillcooke, oh that's a good idea. I'm sure there are a few things that can be done to optimize it, but it is such an edge case (no pun intended haha) I doubt anything will happen.17:12
willcookesethj, yeah17:12
sethjwillcooke, you might want to update the section on apport bugs on the wiki page too, as "won't fix" isn't a priv most users have. Potential ideas are use a tag for that too, or leave those for privileged folks.17:21
willcookesethj, all apport bugs should be gone very soon17:22

tjaaltonrobert_ancell: depends on the release schedule, but yeah if doable21:36
robert_ancelltjaalton, we were discussing it here and end of march is the release date. So that would work out pretty good for us.21:36
tjaaltonactually that's pretty late21:36
tjaaltonbecause of fglrx21:37
robert_ancell?21:37
tjaaltonit takes time for fglrx to catch up21:38
tjaaltonwith the video abi21:38
robert_ancellthey release after the X release?21:38
tjaaltonthey still don't support 1.18rc21:38
tjaaltonfor instance21:38
robert_ancelltjaalton, would they be motivated to hit 16.04 and be more ready for 1.19?21:38
tjaaltonwe've always asked, but it still slips to the last week before release, every time :)21:39
tjaaltonubuntu release21:39
robert_ancellright21:39
robert_ancellThat's a bit tight for an LTS...21:40
robert_ancellWe'll have to lie to them and say it's 16.0321:40
tjaaltonof course, if the video abi doesn't change..21:41
tjaaltonthen it's a non-issue. but I think it has changed every release21:41
robert_ancellNo-one talked about video changes (mostly glamor and input and general cleanups)21:41
robert_ancellI guess we hope it doesn't change / ask fglrx nicely and see if that works out.21:42
tjaaltonas long as the abi is set early enough21:42
tjaaltonif it is changed. so first rc by mid-january or so, then put it in a ppa and ask them to fix their shit21:43
tjaaltonleaning towards not bumping mesa to 11.0.x in wily, since it can't use llvm-3.7 so no proper amdgpu support anyway21:44
robert_ancelltjaalton, oh, it requires an newer llvm?21:46
tjaaltonamdgpu does21:46
robert_ancellwhat else requires llvm in Ubuntu, i.e. what stops us bumping that?21:46
tjaaltonllvm-3.7 not building on i38621:47
robert_ancell:(21:47
tjaaltonand that it's in universe, 3.5 3.6 already in main21:47
tjaaltonso would have to get rid of one21:47
robert_ancellProblem for next cycle then...21:47
tjaaltonhm, though if mesa switched to 3.7 it would allow dropping 3.6 it seems21:48
