Laneygood weekend (and larsu)?08:50
pittihey larsu, hello hikiko!08:50

mitya57no, за is legit for a toast :)08:56
larsuLaney: already waiting for her reply ;)08:56
pittiLaney: ah, they should be a lot more stable in the air and need less wind, but also slower, right?08:56
Laneypitti: I've not tried one like yours before08:59
Laneybut you can float these box ones in place quite easily08:59
Laneythanks mitya57 ;-)08:59

TrevinhoWhatttttt... There's a small bug in my LCD. In the space between the led light and the panel itself :o09:33
larsuhaha cool09:35
willcookeJust got an SMS from didrocks09:36
seb128willcooke, good09:42
willcookeTrevinho, the curse of the moving comma09:43
willcookehonestly, when I used to do IT support I have to see someone with a comma they couldn't delete09:43
willcookeand it was a bug crawling around09:44
Trevinho:D09:44
pittiseb128: hah, il a repondé maintenant, lui et sa famille vont biens09:48
seb128pitti, super09:48
Trevinhoseb128: I've got a private mail from a guy saying that in u-s-d / upower that we ship there's no support for the keyboard backlight... Or better, it doesn't remember the previous settings.10:02
Trevinhoseb128: it seems the fix is in g-s-d 3.16, is there any plan to backport that?10:03
TrevinhoI guess there's a bug for that but I didn't search yet10:03
Laneyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1510344 ?10:06
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1510344 in linux (Ubuntu) "Keyboard Backlight Turns on at boot" [Low,Confirmed]10:06
seb128Trevinho, no current plan afaik10:06
seb128but Laney seems to know more than me about that ;-)10:07
Trevinho:)10:07
Laneyjust saw the bug10:07
TrevinhoLaney: that bug seems somewhat related more to the kernel though... The boot side, not the suspension one10:07
seb128I've no hardware to test on10:07
seb128so not going to be me that work on it10:07
Laneywhat does no support mean?10:07
Laneyit clearly does have some support10:07
TrevinhoSo the thing is:10:08
Trevinhoyou change the brightness level of the keyboard to a lower value -> suspend -> resume -> keyboard backlight is back to the maximum level10:08
Laneyif you know a fix then cherry pick it?10:08
TrevinhoYeah, that's the thing, I asked if anyone knew the fix :)10:09
* Trevinho looks in git10:09
TrevinhoLaney, seb128: from a quick look it seems it's not just a commit... We mostly need to backport the whole power plugin as it has been changed a lot to work with newest upower (which seems to support this thing)10:22
Trevinhothe changes aren't small, but it would be worth trying IMHO... As being updated on power-related stuff is always nice10:25
seb128Trevinho, we did backport the new upower work10:31
seb128the api changed we couldn't stay on the old one10:31
Trevinhomh weird... I made a diff between the two, and I see huge changes10:32
TrevinhoAPIs are ok, I mean.. But there's no support for new features maybe?10:32
seb128there was quite some refactoring, unsure about features10:37
seb128https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/log/?qt=grep&q=power10:37
willcookeseb128, Trevinho - any ideas why I don't see X here:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1477068/+nominate10:39
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1477068 in unity (Ubuntu) "Activating an application through the indicators doesn't bring it to the foreground" [High,Triaged]10:39
willcookeIs it that Unity needs a special X branch set up>?10:40
Trevinhoseb128: it might be related to the change to  backlight_iface_emit_changed, which in our case only supports screen interface, not also keyboard one10:40
davmor2willcooke: bluetooth does work out of the box on the xps 13, it kinda looks like it does but it seems to be missing some firmware who do I need to ping about that?10:40
Trevinhowillcooke: that's an old issue, and... well, there's no real fix for that. Indicators have to be fixed to launch apps with the timestamp of the click event10:41
Trevinhowillcooke: I fixed some of them in the past, but not everyone is feasible as it needs some X dependencies10:41
seb128willcooke, those are unity project targets10:42
seb128not Ubuntu ones10:42
willcookeah, right, thanks10:42
willcookedavmor2, hrm.  Well, if it's firmware that we can get hold of an distribute I expect the foundations team will need to include it10:43
Laneychange the URL to /ubuntu/+source/unity...10:43
davmor2willcooke: dell have a deb I think in the driver pack after a lot of digging, but I followed steps for converting the windows to an ubuntu compatible version10:44
Trevinhoseb128: this might be a start... https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/5614e2c7a275a092e1fcf43450d7f0c5730c14bd10:45
davmor2willcooke: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(2015)10:45
* Trevinho has not such keyboard to test with, though...10:46
seb128Trevinho, could be, but initial support was added in https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=ce295afb6dbd021d0375270bf2b4becacb9ef4db10:46
seb128which is in our codebase10:46
seb128so I guess it's mostly bugfixes10:46
seb128but I don't have a such keyboard either10:46
seb128so I can't test10:46
* Trevinho would backport the whole thing :P10:49
seb128go for it10:50
seb128we didn't hold on backporting for any special reason10:50
seb128it's just that nobody put the work to do it10:50
seb128also keep in mind that sometime the g-s-d changes imply g-c-c matchups and we can't update the frontend as easily since they completly changed the design/look compared to what we have10:51
willcookedavmor2, Hrm.  Sounds to me like we'd need to get that firmware included in the linux-firmware package.10:51
davmor2willcooke: it works perfectly once it is in place :)10:52
davmor2willcooke: I'll file a bug for it then10:52
willcookeda thanks10:53

larsuattente: you can also disable them with a pragma, but that's ugly I think15:27

willcookeqengho, \o/15:39
larsuLaney: I dug a bit deeper on the black flicker issue this afternoon. We need the revert, but slightly amended to also work for windows with client side decorations (this was the difference that caused me to see the bug in 3.16.0 as well)16:11
larsuLaney: but I doubt this will be accepted upstream - the function is deprecated because the frame sync protocol seems to be considered a dependency of gtk now16:11
Laneylarsu: all of these https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/log/?h=gtk-3-18&qt=grep&q=don't+call+gtk_style_context ?16:15
larsuLaney: I'm unsure, but the flickering should only be a problem on top-level windows16:16
Laneyworth talking to cosimoc?16:16
larsuhave you noticed any problems with the other widgets?16:16
larsunot unless we have a prolem16:17
larsu*problem16:17
larsuTrevinho: have you ever thought about implementing that frame sync thing in compiz? I guess it's quite hard because it touches lots of things?16:17
LaneyI mean, presumably this commit was done for some reason16:18
Laneynot that the commit message is clear16:18
larsuwhich commit?16:18
Laneythe one you want to revert16:19
larsuyes, the function is deprecated16:19
larsuwidgets are supposed to draw their own background16:19
larsuwhich happens too late on compiz, because it doesn't wait for the signal from gtk that the frame is done16:20
larsucalling set_background() sets the background color of the x window16:20
larsuso we see an incomplete frame, but because the color is the same as the background color, it's not as noticable16:21
LaneyI see16:24
Laneythanks for the info16:24
larsudid you already upload the revert?16:24
Laneywant to hear from Trevinho about the frame sync stuff, that would be nicer depending on how bad it would be to do16:24
Laneyno16:24
LaneyI'm not that fast anyway /o\16:24
larsuthat's good - I'll propose a patch in a bit that makes it work for csd windows as well16:25
Laneynot going to be for today at any rate16:26
Laneybut still want to hear about fixing it properly16:26

n8shi all23:40
n8sthis may be tricky... but i have to ask23:40
n8si have a laptop fine-tuned with all the apps and settings to my liking. it has been a pita to set it up. Now im ready to make the move on my desktop to ubuntu and say byebye to windows 10, ¿is there any way to "clone" the settings and installed packages automagically?23:41
sarnoldn8s: dpkg --get-selections and --set-selections may be able to do the packages for you, though actually getting apt to follow those directions may be more work; I'm just content to apt-get install the packages I need when I need them, though, to avoid installing and updating software I don't use often..23:44
sarnoldn8s: you can copy your home directory over, that ought to be a good starting point for most user-facing programs; i'd cherry pick files from /etc/ as needed for the system-wide configurations23:45
sarnoldn8s: many people store their /etc and dotfiles in git or something similar, see etckeeper for a quick intro there23:45
n8sthank for pointing me that, sounds interesting23:45
n8showever if there is nothing that "migrates" it automatically, i guess i will do what you said first and make it work as i need it23:46
n8showewer... i find surprising that ubuntu lacks an utility for doing this. i understand that this can be perfectly done with CLI+patience combo, but some user friendly solution would be awe23:48
n8sanyway, thanks a lot sarnold23:49
sarnoldn8s: if you're installing dozens to thousands of machines, there's options that are probably worth exploring :)23:49
sarnoldn8s: but for two systems, there's not much pre-built23:50
