[10:22] <alan_g> alf: what's the reasoning behind DisplayConfigurationTest.hw_display_change_doesnt_apply_base_config_if_per_session_config_is_active? If we (e.g.) unplug a monitor we need to reconfigure, not carry on with a possibly invalid config.
[10:25] <alf> alan_g: We want to avoid possibly redundant configuration changes to reduce flickering. The idea is that a session that has set a session config will update it once it gets notified about a change.
[10:28] <alf> alan_g: There were plans to add a timeout, so if the client doesn't update the config "soon" (e.g. it has hung) the server will apply the base config
[10:29]  * alan_g wonders if we should kill the client
[10:34] <alan_g> alf: so I should update the recently added DISABLED_given_client_set_display_configuration_when_monitor_unplugs_configuration_is_reset to have the client do the reconfigure?
[10:36] <mmmcandy> guy, any idea when 0.18 will land in xenial?
[10:36] <mmmcandy> s
[10:36]  * mmmcandy can't words
[10:37] <alf> alan_g: Yes, that's the current expected/supported behavior (until/if we add a timeout)
[10:38] <alf> mmmcandy: No ETA yet, we are in the process or releasing though. I would say some time next week unless we find a blocking issue.
[10:38] <mmmcandy> alf thanks :o)
[10:39] <alf> mmmcandy: 'kdub' is doing the 0.18 release, so if you need more fine grained progress info you could ping him
[11:07] <DimitrisGR> exit
[12:12] <kdub> mmmcandy, the release silo is here: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-021 maybe another week or so
[12:12] <kdub> in the testing phases
[12:42] <DimitrisGR> hello all, I have just built Mir, I try to run the demo_server and I get the error: "Error:libmir_demo_server_loadable.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[12:46] <DimitrisGR> I tried "whereis libmir_demo_server_loadable.so" and the file exists in "/usr/local/lib/libmir_demo_server_loadable.so"
[12:47] <alan_g> DimitrisGR: can you pastebin the full output?
[12:48] <DimitrisGR> alan_g: the only output is this line "Error:libmir_demo_server_loadable.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[12:48] <DimitrisGR> alan_g: i don't know if you want to run something else
[12:49] <alan_g> Exactly which executable are you running?
[12:49] <DimitrisGR> i follow this http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/demo_server.html and i run "sudo mir_demo_server"
[12:51] <alan_g> What does "sudo which mir_demo_server" say?
[12:52] <DimitrisGR> Error:libmir_demo_server_loadable.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:52] <alan_g> What does "sudo which mir_demo_server" say?
[12:53] <DimitrisGR> what do you mean? that's the output i get when i run it
[12:53] <DimitrisGR> oh sry
[12:53] <DimitrisGR> i did not see the "which"' :P
[12:53] <DimitrisGR> it says "/usr/local/bin/mir_demo_server"
[12:57] <alan_g> does mir_demo_server --help work? (no sudo)
[12:59] <DimitrisGR> no, the same error again
[12:59] <DimitrisGR> I also runned ctest and all the test pass
[12:59] <alan_g> You've used make to install - and clearly that's broken something.
[13:00] <alan_g> I use either the built version (e.g. sudo bin/mir_demo_server ...) or the package install and that usually works.
[13:00] <DimitrisGR> so what do you suggest i should do?
[13:01] <DimitrisGR> is it a bug?
[13:01] <alan_g> Well, clearly there's a bug in the "sudo make install" support
[13:01] <alan_g> But do you actually need that?
[13:02] <DimitrisGR> i don't know :P i am trying to find an open source project to contribute (newbie here), and mir seemed interesting. so I just followed the steps for "Building the source for a PC"
[13:03] <alan_g> In that case, don't bother with installing it to play with. Just use the copy in the build tree. (add "bin/" to the commands)
[13:04] <alan_g> And please report the bug - in the documentation, in the install or both
[13:06] <DimitrisGR> there is no need to install it? how will i test it, get to know the code better etc if i cannot run it
[13:07] <alan_g> (Assuming you're in the build directory) try "bin/mir_demo_server --help"
[13:09] <alan_g> DimitrisGR: I've got to go to lunch now - if no-one else is about I'll be back in around an hour
[13:35] <mmmcandy> thanks kdub
[14:24] <kenvandine> anpok, you were doing the work needed to use the mouse and touchpad settings right?
[14:24] <kenvandine> anpok, how's that coming?  i just heard that's on the list for ota-9
[14:26] <alan_g> balloons: evidence that there is a useful documentation review task - https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1522836
[14:40] <anpok> kenvandine: with 0.18 we will have that working in usc/mir
[14:40] <anpok> then we might need something u8 or qtmir .. need to check with greyback for that
