[09:26] <pstolowski> cimi, tsdgeos hey, is either of you up for a review of https://code.launchpad.net/~stolowski/unity-scopes-shell/single-preview/+merge/286360 ? Marcus is off for paternity leave and in his absence you're the best candidates for this job ;)
[09:28] <tsdgeos> pstolowski: there's a new api required for that, right? guess we need to update the mock code we have in unity8 too
[09:28] <pstolowski> tsdgeos i've just linked the new api to this MP
[09:28] <pstolowski> tsdgeos, cimi is going to work on unity8 changes i believe
[09:28] <tsdgeos> yep
[09:29] <tsdgeos> cimi: do you do the review or this too or want me to help here?
[09:30] <tsdgeos> garg qmltestrunner::Preview::test_comboEnsureVisible still is unstable
[09:31] <Mirv> mzanetti: FYI lpotter's inputinfo patch set 20 ready for upgrade from silo 009 in roughly 15 minutes (build is done, waiting for publisher run)
[09:31] <mzanetti> Mirv, you're the best!
[09:31] <lpotter> +1
[09:32] <mzanetti> lpotter, I'll try to give it another try today
[09:32] <mzanetti> thanks for updating
[09:33] <lpotter> thats what I'm here for
[09:59] <cimi> tsdgeos, sorry I am late this morning, woke up with some headache and had to take some painkillers - i'm much better now
[10:01] <tsdgeos> cimi: no worries, get better
[13:39] <tsdgeos> pstolowski: still workin in progress or need review? https://code.launchpad.net/~stolowski/unity-scopes-shell/single-preview/+merge/286360
[13:40] <tsdgeos> pstolowski: why 9 to 11  in https://code.launchpad.net/~stolowski/unity-api/single-preview/+merge/286359 ?
[13:40] <pstolowski> tsdgeos, i just keep it WIP because i want to test it with unity8 (not possible right now)
[13:41] <pstolowski> tsdgeos, to match scopes-impl-11 in unity-scopes-shell. not sure if this is important though.. and not sure why they don't match anymore
[13:41] <tsdgeos> k
[13:45] <pstolowski> tsdgeos, the tests we have in shell plugin prove that is "should work", but you never know... things are slightly different in qml world
[13:45] <tsdgeos> sure
[14:03] <balloons> ChrisTownsend, kgunn, bregma, did anyone talk to you yet about mentoring for google summer of code? I'm curious if there is any interest in tasks within the realm of Unity8 or MIR. The mentoring is 1 on 1, over 3 months, so the projects can have some scope to them
[14:05] <bregma> balloons, I'm up for mentoring (I've done it a couple of years previously), especially if a student proposes a Mir- or convergence-related project
[14:06] <balloons> bregma, excellent! Do you have any ideas for things you could do? We're supposed to have a general list, but as you say, the final projects are a result of a student + mentors collective decision
[14:06] <bregma> I don;t have any student-level-finish-in-4-months tasks I could suggest at the moment
[14:08] <balloons> there was hope of creating a wm based on MIR; alan_g|lunch and alex proposed it for GCI, but it was kind of large in scope for that
[14:08] <balloons> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-T9-tVIUGsdqf8kTQc-TJPPUlfFXSZEZrhSwFUyFtP0/edit#
[14:08] <balloons> I think it might work now for GSOC
[14:25] <Saviq-dev> w00t, xchat-gnome on unity8 :D
[14:25] <Saviq-dev> this is fun
[14:27] <bregma> mterry, any chance you could update your use-ual-info branch?
[14:28] <mterry> bregma, ah sure
[14:28] <bregma> mterry, I'd like to slap it (or something similar) into silo 58 where we're trying to play with full-on Libertine convergence
[14:29] <mterry> yikes, 20 conflicts
[14:29] <bregma> before the dark and lurking horror that awaits us rises from the deep
[14:30] <davmor2> Saviq-dev: it's not fun.....it's very very serious :D
[14:30] <Saviq> why so serious
[14:32] <davmor2> Saviq, Saviq-dev: because xchat-gnome is a serious piece of software it's not there for fun, Are you trying to tell me you have fun on IRC, huh huh huh well are you?????!!!!????? :D
[14:33] <Saviq-dev> no fun :(
[14:33] <davmor2> Saviq: hehehe :)
[14:36] <balloons> Saviq, bregma, another idea might be to snappify up a set of desktop apps -- do you think that would work as a project? Adding some new application snaps and extending support for running snaps on the desktop?
[14:36] <Saviq> mhall119, btw, balloons speaking here, let's stick to one channel?
[14:37] <balloons> sorry, just trying to close up loose ends as the application has to be submitted tomorrow.
[14:37] <alan_g> balloons: if you spell my name correctly I'm OK with being a mentor
[14:37] <Saviq> balloons, two ideas came to mind here: DisplayLink (USB GPUs) support in Mir, or rather DL drivers suitable for Mir; and background processing services for GPS, accelerometer or some such
[14:38] <Saviq> :D
[14:38] <Saviq> balloons, what has to be done by tomorrow then?
[14:38] <Saviq> oop
[14:39] <mhall119> Saviq: I think we were going to try and get tvoss for the background processing services
[14:40] <bregma> ya know, I would love to see the accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer in most modern laptops working on the desktop, if someone is looking for a cool GSoC project.....
[14:40] <balloons> alan_g, Excellent. I'll work on my inability to spell!
[14:40] <Saviq> bregma, yeah, and screen state detection - no idea how does my XPS12 communicate that the screen's folded so it should go into tablet mode
[14:41] <alan_g> balloons: BTW You also misspelt "alf_" above
[14:41] <bregma> that's another IIO sensor, fix one and you fix 'em all
[14:42] <bregma> I wish the keyboard on my Yoga 2 would disable when I fold it under so I could play Mahjongg without fear
[14:42] <Saviq> bregma, mine does disable... not the touchpad, though, meaning if I press the screen hard enough, I get events from it :S
[14:42] <bregma> all it would take is a kernel module and some udev rules, it's really just that easy
[14:43] <Saviq> balloons, mhall119 ↑ you got a topic and a mentor it seems ;)
[14:43] <bregma> right, it's the touchpad that ruins everything
[14:43] <bregma> nothing a pair of wirecuters won't fix permanently
[14:45] <mhall119> "kernel module", "easy", heh
[14:46] <mhall119> Saviq: which one is the topic?
[14:47] <Saviq> mhall119, <bregma> ya know, I would love to see the accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer in most modern laptops working on the desktop, if someone is looking for a cool GSoC project.....
[14:47] <mhall119> and bregma is volunteering to be the mentor?
[14:47] <Saviq> looks like ti
[14:47] <bregma> I can do that
[14:48] <Saviq> mhall119, I'm afraid unity8 isn't a project that makes sense for GSOC, we don't have big enough tasks for that
[14:48] <mhall119> no? Not even desktop features in the window management?
[14:50] <mhall119> Saviq: for example, we could give somebody the task of implementing all the keyboard shortcuts from Unity 7
[14:50] <ltinkl> mhall119, we have those already (most of them)
[14:51] <Saviq> mhall119, that's too small IMO
[14:51] <mhall119> really? I'll have to try it again then
[14:51] <mhall119> Saviq: enabling workspaces?
[14:51] <ltinkl> mhall119, some of the stuff (like launcher) might have not landed yet tho
[14:51] <mhall119> oh, how about re-enabling the HUD, can we do that? :)
[14:51] <Saviq> mhall119, a lot depends on designs that we don't have
[14:52] <Saviq> and are unlikely to have in the time frame
[14:52] <ltinkl> Saviq, mhall119: I think we have some (preliminary) workspaces designs, dunno how feasible is to share them
[14:53] <Saviq> preliminary's the word
[14:53] <Saviq> one topic *could* be to refactor shortcut handling so it's configurable and centralized
[14:53] <Saviq> but again, that's not a big enough task IMO
[14:53] <ltinkl> Saviq, hmm, actually I think this won't be small either
[14:54] <mhall119> Saviq: assume there will be some time taken up getting them started and familiar enough with the codebase to make contributions
[14:54] <Saviq> mhall119, we're not really just reimplementing unity7 in QML ;P
[14:54] <ltinkl> Saviq, if you'd also have to write the config for it (presumably system settings)
[14:55] <ltinkl> Saviq, mhall119: fingerprint sensor support for the (un)lock screen? ;)
[14:55] <ltinkl> that would be nice
[14:55] <Saviq> ltinkl, that's done in PAM
[14:56] <Saviq> ltinkl, supporting it on android could be a topic, but I couldn't mentor that for sure
[14:56] <ltinkl> Saviq, well ye but you have to integrate in various places, write a config GUI for the enrolllment etc.
[14:56] <ltinkl> I bet everyone knows by now which phone will have it :) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/02/meizu-pro-5-ubuntu-edition-specs-price
[15:10] <cimi> arg was about to text him
[15:13] <cimi> pstolowski, hey :) are your two branches still WIP? can we build them somewhere in a silo so I can start easily test them? otherwise I'll build local
[15:13] <pstolowski> cimi, hi, they're wip only because i want to test it alltogether with unity8. so yeah, let's create a silo
[15:14] <pstolowski> cimi, do you have a unity8 branch already?
[15:14] <cimi> pstolowski, mmm I need little bit more work on my side, I did update mocks but I have to test them
[15:22] <pstolowski> cimi, ok, let me create a silo
[15:22] <cimi> pstolowski, thanks, building locally for now
[15:26] <pstolowski> tsdgeos, i'll put https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity8/activtion-progress/+merge/284421 in the same silo as single-preview, any objections?
[15:27] <tsdgeos> pstolowski: looks good
[15:51] <pstolowski> cimi, we have silo 76 for this stuff. also added acitvation-progress there
[15:51] <cimi> pstolowski, thanks
[16:30] <Saviq> cimi, ltinkl, this is how my session looked like after having installed silo 64 https://imgur.com/cCmMqtl ;)
[16:30] <Saviq> *not* good :D
[16:30] <cimi> Saviq, ah so you wanted me to test silo 64, cheers mate :D
[16:30] <ltinkl> Saviq, when was it installed?
[16:30] <Saviq> ltinkl, just a sec ago
[16:31] <Saviq> but anyway, no time now, if it's not good straight away, won't dive in now
[16:31] <Saviq> it could very well be interaction between 10 and 64, although I purged the first
[16:31] <ltinkl> Saviq, yeah... yours look weird, wrong colors, black stage, even the font is a bit jaggy
[16:32] <Saviq> ltinkl, font jaggy is a known-ish problem
[16:32] <Saviq> but yeah, all the rest looks like UITK went apeshit
[16:33] <Saviq> hah
[16:33] <Saviq> I don't have UITK installed, that might explain things
[16:33] <ltinkl> wut
[16:33] <Saviq> wonder how that happened
[16:33] <ltinkl> Saviq, yeah.. is that "legal"?
[16:34] <Saviq> aha
[16:34] <Saviq> -gles got installed
[16:41] <Saviq> trying again
[17:03] <Saviq> ltinkl, fyi, the right UITK does not seem to have helped, will need to look into it later
[17:04] <ltinkl> Saviq, ye no pressure but it seems like your local issue to me (unless others confirm otherwise)
[17:04] <Saviq> sure, still interesting to know where it came from
[17:28] <mterry> bregma, I updated my use-ual-info branch.  Lots of changes, but it builds and tests cleanly now.  I didn't test full stack though, since I figured we might as well put it in a silo and test from that instead
[17:29] <bregma> mterry, thanks, I'll play with it in silo 58 then
[18:46] <bregma> OK, Silo 58 works on frieza, I'm off to celebrate with a sandwich and a glass of milk
