[07:16] <peter-bittner> I'm interested in the state of "restoring windows when attaching / detaching external monitors". Is the work on this topic progressing, or is there some (easy) help needed from the community, maybe?
[07:16] <peter-bittner> I've asked a question about that on  the ubuntu-phone mailing list, https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg16985.html
[09:35] <alan_g> alf__: which was the disp-conf bug we discussed yesterday?
[09:38] <peter-bittner> Sorry to disturb you: I'm interested in the state of "restoring windows when attaching / detaching external monitors". Is the work on this topic progressing somehow?
[09:39] <alf__> alan_g: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1518317
[09:40] <alan_g> peter-bittner: that sounds as though it cross-cuts Mir, Qtmir and Unity8. There's some work in Mir that will likely be landing in 0.18 and Gerry and I started on some Qtmir work that impacts it this week. Don't know about U8 though.
[09:41] <alan_g> alf__: thanks
[10:08] <alf__> alan_g: just in case you didn't see it, there is a comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1518317 with some thoughts and a link to my WIP branch
[10:08] <alan_g> alf__: thanks, was just about to look (was still in qtmir-land)
[10:21] <peter-bittner> alan_g: What is "landing in 0.18" in terms of OTA or Ubuntu release date (for desktop computers)? Sorry for my ignorance.
[10:22] <peter-bittner> And does fixing that issue translate into "application windows (positions, dimensions) will be restored when attaching / detaching external monitors automatically"?
[10:44] <peter-bittner> This is the problem I intend to be solved: http://askubuntu.com/questions/561197/is-there-a-way-to-prevent-your-windows-from-moving-when-an-external-monitor-is-c/561824#comment1031840_561824
[10:44] <peter-bittner> Are we on the same page?
[10:45] <peter-bittner> I've also asked a question about that on  the ubuntu-phone mailing list, https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg16985.html
[16:54] <ahayzen> greyback, thanks for commenting on that music-app power consumption bug :-)
[16:56] <greyback> ahayzen: it just emphasizes that lifecycle exemption is not a good solution for background processes
[16:56] <ahayzen> yup :-) greyback hopefully we can remove our exception in the short-medium term, as the bgplaylists is getting close now, we'll then just need one extra thing from media-hub :-)
[17:00] <greyback> *nod*
[17:01] <greyback> but more generally, we need something better
[17:01] <ahayzen> i think trusted services are the best solution... we just need more services/expand them
[17:02] <greyback> I think we need ability to occasionally wake up the app to ask it "the list is about to run out, do you want more stuff added to the list, or can I stop"
[17:46] <alan_g> alf__: (if you're still around) I resubmitted ~alan-griffiths/mir/fix-1518317/ after rebasing on anpok's conflicting (and simplifying) MP. Maybe you can re-approve?
[17:54] <alf__> alan_g: done
