balloonsBill_, that's the way to do it :-)00:58
xcubhey balloons, could you help me with a task I am trying to do?00:59
balloonsxcub, that depends.. :p What task?01:00
xcubhttps://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5073251139059712/?sp-organization=4568116747042816&sp-is_beginner=False&sp-categories=1 this one, but it's not necessarily the task itself :P, it's that the address-book-app executable keeps on giving me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/14473965/ error whenever I try to run it01:03
balloonsxcub, that means you have a dependency issue. Anytime an import fails like that, think dependency01:07
balloonsInputDeviceModel is not a type -- you need the dependency that specifies this. Off the top of my head, I don't know. But I'm guessing you could dig around and find it01:08
xcubIs there any way to identify what dependency is missing?01:11

adueppenballoons: Did I do https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5178641776377856/ correctly? I just want to check before I shut down my live session01:14
balloonsadueppen, in response to 1. Yes, switching fonts worked fine but switching to fonts with different widths sometimes caused weird spacing issues; bug $?01:16
adueppenballoons: oh right I wasn't sure if that was a bug or just an issue with my computer being an old clunker01:17
adueppensince the issue resolved itself after a second or two01:17
balloonsxcub, look through and try stuff from unity8. it uses it: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity8/trunk/view/head:/debian/control01:18
balloonsadueppen, weird. More info would be useful on that01:18
adueppenballoons: I'm not sure I really have much more info to give except that my computer has never been able to run Unity that well01:20
adueppenin terms of speed, that is01:21
xcubI looked through it, and I have installed every package listed, but it still gives me the same error.01:29
balloonssomething for your mentor then, sorry xcub :-(01:30
xcubalright, thanks for your help! :)01:31
adueppenballoons: is there anything I need to work on for my task?02:14
fazerelopio, why does the coverage decrease after my commits? I'm assuming that some tests no longer work, and thats what happens when I try to run all of them. But I don't understand why. I haven't modified any files except those 3.12:13
Girishballoons: I've some interesting UX changes for the QA Tracker. I'll submit them in the 2nd UX task.14:49
GirishFoe example, currently there are three ways to go to the home page, stacked on top of each other: the home icon, the ubuntu logo, and 'Home'. Should be only one button.14:51
balloonsGirish, ack, thanks15:13
balloonsadueppen, I left a comment just asking for more info about #1. Then I'll approve15:13
balloonsdidrocks, going to be able to get this one reviewed today? https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5728058354958336/?sp-page=115:13
didrocksballoons: I did ask andyrock to answer, I created a MP for the guy15:13
didrocksone sec, let's check if he did15:13
didrocksballoons: seems like the MP needs to be rebased: https://code.launchpad.net/~mcintire-evan/unity/add-format-option/+merge/28228215:15
didrocksadded some comments on the task15:16
balloonsty; feel free to hit 'more work needed' when you do that so it's clear15:17
didrocksballoons: well, this guy knows to respond, especially on the other tasks you closed during the holidays which aren't finished15:18
didrocksballoons: so, that forces me to track all tasks -> last modification15:18
didrocksinstead of "in progress" :p15:18
balloonsdidrocks, ohh sorry about that. I'm doing the opposite heh. Tasks that are open show up in my queue, so I'm trying to keep them as more work, or approved ;-)15:19
balloonsWe get pinged when tasks carry on too long -- they like to see status updates and don't count comments for some reason :-(15:20
didrocksballoons: argh, comments are things moving15:20
didrocksballoons: ok, so adding time and pushing "more work needed"15:20
didrocksbut still, the one you closed are a little bit annoying to track now :(15:20
balloonsyea; and actually 'more work needed' should add time even I think15:21
didrocksyep15:21
balloonsanyways, sorry for closing non-complete stuff. If I could re-open I would15:21
didrocksno worry :)15:23

balloonsGirish, a little busy today, but I saw your new image. the hamburger menu is interesting17:45

Girishballoons: Left some comments on the task. View them whenevr you are free.18:19
knomeGirish, MatthewAllen: will look at your design proposals after i've done another thing i need to do now18:22
GirishOkay.18:24
knomeMatthewAllen, since you asked first, i've commented on your task first :)18:55
knome(and i guess sorry for the wall of text...)18:55
MatthewAllenknome, thankyou - so just address you comments and then resubmit?18:57
knomeMatthewAllen, tbe, i don't know how "far" balloons wants to see these mockups going18:58
knomeanyway,18:58
balloonsknome, I'd like to actually get something implemented.18:59
knomei think instead of following any comments like a set of strictly specified rules isn't as important as considering the overall look and feel18:59
MatthewAllenballoons, how far would the task itself have to get, before you were happy to accept it18:59
balloonsWe can make a seperate task for it, but the goal is to revamp things and get it released18:59
balloonsso I'd like the designs to end up in a place where you literally could implement them18:59
knomei mean i think it's ok that the mockup isn't 100% perfect, as long as there is some work done that explains how things are supposed to work19:00
MatthewAllenconsidering implementing it couldn't be done in the time frame19:00
knomeballoons, something that might work would be a static page export from the tracker (to get a real example of the HTML), then let people work on the CSS for that19:00
knomei wouldn't do design work like this with a "real" installation myself19:01
balloonsMatthewAllen, right. The implementation would be a seperate task, but it should be ready to go19:01
balloonsthis is why you are here knome :)19:01
MatthewAllenSo get it to a state where I could go straight from the mockup into implementation?19:02
balloonsthat's the goal yes19:02
knomeif we want the mockups go live, yeah19:02
MatthewAllenawesome, will get on it tommorow19:03
knomesince mockups and plans are completely different as the implementation, i would repeat what i said earlier; i don't think the mockup needs to be 100% perfect, if you have certain things planned in advance19:03
knomegetting something to eat next, then back for comments on Girish's task19:04
balloonsok thanks knome. Sounds like we need to export some of the live site then too? I appreciate the guidance19:04
knomei was actually just thinking save a certain page as HTML19:11
knomethen students could use something like stylish to apply CSS to that19:11
balloonsCan you do that for where it makes sense? the big one is the add results page19:28
knomei don't think i understood the question :)19:35
knomeGirish, commented on your task too19:35
knomeGirish, and again, sorry for the wall of text19:35
knomeGirish, if it helps, the ubuntu brand assets (along with color palette and more) are at http://design.ubuntu.com/brand so you can get the colors right19:36
balloonsknome, lol, as long as you understand the concept of creating designs that we can actually then implement (and hope to do so), then please make sure the tasks are setup in a way it's possible.19:40
balloonsThat's all I was after. Sounds a bit non-descript, but I suppose I'm just more or less asking you to talk the lead. I'll happily defer to you on this19:41
balloonsaka, if doing exports and encouraging folks to use stylish is the way to go, please feel free to requet it19:44
knomeballoons, i guess you are using either firefox or chrome?20:34
balloonsI use both20:35
knomeright, so stylish is available to both of them (at least)20:35
knomehave you used it?20:35
balloonsyou've keyed me into it before20:35
knomehehe, good20:35
balloonsbut not hugely. I just have a fix you made for GCI20:35
knomethis is something else you might want to use -> https://gist.github.com/knomepasi/22e5998bca83f53463b920:36
balloonsohh.. editing the web, fun20:36
knomewell yeah, it's greasemonkey for css20:38
knomethe one problem that students might have with this is that they really need to know css and also that the source code can be a bit unforgiving at some points20:39
knomei mean, if there aren't good id's or classes, it can be a pain to target a specific element20:39
knomeand of course, sometimes the markup you want isn't there20:39
