guest123124hi, is rc proposed building unity from trunk?07:57
dandradermzanetti, I think you're the best person to review this: https://code.launchpad.net/~dandrader/unity8/mouseEdgePush/+merge/27630611:52
dandradermzanetti, as it touches Launcher and DesktopStage code11:52

mterry@unity let me save you folks future pain with this dearly bought lesson: if you are using 'expr' to do shell math in a 'set -e' shell, expr will return non-zero if the equation answer is zero, causing your shell to abort at very unexpected times13:16
mzanettihaha13:17
mzanettithat sounds like you just had a fun debugging session13:17
mterrymzanetti, it took me forever -- I was debugging the flash animation script, so it takes a bit of overhead per debug session.  And I just couldn't figure out why we were crashing in this function!13:18
mterryWhy oh why would you return an error case for zero!  expr does division and modulo math!  They return zero all the time13:18

mterrymzanetti, good session  :)16:58
mterryjosharenson, I got to talk up hopes of unity8-greeter in show and tell session.  But didn't make any promises.  :)16:59
josharensonmterry: haha I saw17:00
mterryoh hah  :)17:00
mterryIt was the sexiest thing I knew was coming down the pipe17:00
josharensonmterry: haha wow :-p17:01
mterryjosharenson, that is probably more a statement on me than the pipe  :)17:01
josharensonhahah17:02
seb128Saviq, unsure who to ask but do you think you could get somebody to review https://code.launchpad.net/~larsu/gsettings-qt/lp1503693/+merge/276190 ?17:36
Saviqseb128, we'll have a look17:52

prasad_Hi22:02
prasad_My name is Prasad, and a software developer(C++).  And willing to contribute to fix unity bugs22:04
josharensonprasad_: Hi, our bug tracker is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity822:07
josharensonprasad_: we used to have a list of bugs that were good to fix as your first contribution, but I don't think its maintained anymore22:08
prasad_Ok, I've eye on Unity7 bug#115436422:09
prasad_Or is this channel for unity8 issues only >22:11
josharensonprasad_: either version is fine22:17
prasad_How do I get started Will Cooke's blog (http://www.whizzy.org/2015/09/big-bug-bonanza-16-04-lts/) talks about Trello board22:20
prasad_do I need to do formal request to look in to particular bug?22:22
josharensonprasad_: It might be a good idea to consult w/ will cooke just to be sure you arent duplicating an ongoing effort22:27
josharensonprasad_: but it seems that nobody is even assigned to the bug you mentioned... if you were to propose a patch, someone would review it22:27
prasad_sure, I'll try to do that. Is just communication is sufficient to get message acrossm or do I need to use mailing list, too ? You can see I'm using IRC for first time, :)22:30
prasad_communication here I mean.22:30
josharensonprasad_: I don't know what time zone you are in, but this channel is most active during UTC+0 work hours22:35
josharensonprasad_: so communication _here_ should be sufficient.. I'm just not necessarily the right person22:35
josharensonprasad_: I'd wait until more people are online to ask more questions, but in the meantime, get to know that bug, reproduce it, and try to make some code changes on a local branch etc..22:36
josharensonprasad_: if you do come up w/ a fix, like I said, someone will review it and provide feedback22:36
prasad_thanks josharenson22:37
josharensonprasad_: np, questions/contributions always welcome :-)22:37
