Saviqmzanetti, ack09:06
mzanettiinstalled the packages from jenkins, the file ends up in the correct place09:06
Saviqmzanetti, maybe move it to data/ in our source, then?09:06
Saviqfeels weird to install from doc/ to etc/09:06
mzanettiSaviq, yeah, wasn't sure... it's still also being installed to doc, which IMO makes sense09:06
mzanettishould I drop the installation to doc completely?09:07
Saviqshould be different files IMO09:07
mzanettihmm09:07
Saviqlike doc/devices.conf should have ~real-life examples09:07
mzanettimhm09:08
mzanettiok... will do09:08
Saviqtx09:08
mzanettiSaviq, pushed09:13
Saviqmzanetti, tx09:15
mzanettiSaviq, just had a chat with morphis, need to push another change. gimme a minute09:22
Saviqmzanetti, not landing it just yet ;)09:23

dholbachhiya12:37
dholbachI'm still having issues to login to unity8 on the desktop (intel graphics)12:37
dholbach<dholbach> but maybe that's unrelated - what I'm doing is:12:37
dholbach<dholbach>  - log out from unity7, see lightdm pop up12:37
dholbach<dholbach>  - try to login to unity8, see something flicker, see lightdm pop back up again12:37
dholbach<dholbach>  - try to login to unity7, see something flicker, see lightdm pop back up again12:37
dholbach<dholbach> so I need to go back to the console to restart lightdm12:37
dholbach<dholbach> and then I can go and login to unity712:37
dholbach^ does anyone have an idea what the issue might be? apport tried to report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1543192 when I was back in unity712:38
ubot5`Error: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1543192 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1543192). The error has been logged12:38
greybackdholbach: can you share the contents of ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log and /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log12:39
dholbachsure12:40
dholbachhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/15567483/12:40
dholbachhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/15567488/12:41
dholbachgreyback, ^12:41
greybackhmm, unity8 doesn't start because mir fails12:46
greybackbut I don't see why12:47
greybackdholbach: have you a multimonitor setup?12:48
dholbachgreyback, a laptop with an external monitor... but it fails without the monitor as well12:48
greybackok, is what I was going to ask12:48
dholbachDo you want the same logs for trying without the monitor?12:51
greybackno, I doubt that'll change much12:52
greybackdholbach: can you compare the packages you've installed with these: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15567531/12:52
greybackthat should be the minimal set needed to get unity8 working12:52
greybackwell mir-platform-graphics-mesa-x8 isn't necessary12:53
dholbachit looks like I have a few more installed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15567537/12:53
greybackdholbach: that's ok.12:54
greybackdholbach: by any chance, have you a second machine you can ssh into this machine with?12:54
dholbachyes12:55
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
greybackdholbach: well, let's try this before going down that road. A sanity check to see if Mir can run on your machine at all12:59
dholbachok... what do you want me to do?12:59
greybackdholbach: please switch to a VT, and run sudo mir_proving_server -f /tmp/mir_socket --arw-file --launch-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle12:59
greybackyou should see a spinny triangle. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to quit13:00
dholbachUnknowns command line options: --launch-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle13:04
dholbachgreyback, ^13:04
greybackah shoot, my bad13:04
greybacksudo mir_demo_server -f /tmp/mir_socket --arw-file --launch-client mir_demo_client_egltriangle13:04
greybackdholbach: ^13:04
greybacks/proving/demo/13:05
dholbachyep, that works :)13:08
dholbachspinning triangle confirmed13:08
greybackok, good13:08
* greyback trying to launch unity8 manually here, need a minute to get steps to work13:10
dholbachsure, no worries13:10
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
greybackdholbach: I fear this will be hard to do with a VT, but these steps are the most minimal to bring up unity8: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15567696/13:17
dholbachok, looking13:23
greybackdholbach: how'd it go?13:31
dholbachgreyback, looks like the experiment will have to wait - the old laptop didn't work O:-)13:31
dholbachand typing this on the Ubuntu phone is going to take until my EOD :)13:32
greybackdholbach: oh well. There's not much more I can recommend, I'd have to send you to the mir team for their more specialist assistance13:32
dholbachgreyback, I'll try this out13:32
dholbachmaybe just tonight or tomorrow13:32
greybackafaics from your logs, usc starts up ok, but unity8 fails to connect to it13:33
dholbachI've been seeing this issue for quite a while now and it'd be nice if it was fixed or if there was a way for me to play around with unity8 :)13:33
greybackwhy that is, I've no idea13:33
greybackright13:33
dholbachthanks a lot for your help13:33
greybackI've the same sandybridge chip, but no such issue here13:33
dholbachmaybe it's some old configuration or some package which shouldn't be installed or something else13:34
=== dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
Saviqtsdgeos, ok, it's the installed version that doesn't have the signal15:00
tsdgeosbut how?15:01
tsdgeoslike this doesn't work at all?15:01
tsdgeosor is it the test doing weird things15:02
Saviqtsdgeos, -DUNITY_PLUGINPATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity8/qml makes it go down the drain15:02
Saviqjust rebuilding again to verify, but that's how it looks like15:03
Saviqtsdgeos, ok so at least I confirmed that it's really the packaged vs. built libUbuntuGesturesqml.so - copying the locally built one to /usr/lib... makes it pass15:23
tsdgeosSaviq: ouch15:23
* Saviq looks into cmake opts during build15:23
Saviqgrr can't see what they are in vivid15:28
Saviqbut it looks the same since forever in xenial, wth ¿?15:29
Saviqhuh I wonder if the thing just gets stripped15:30
tsdgeosmaybe something is stripping the lib or doing some change that breaks this?15:31
tsdgeosit should not but...15:31
Saviqwell, yeah, but15:31
* Saviq builds nostrip15:31
Saviqthat's the only thing that would explain this really15:35
Saviqoh one more test15:35
* Saviq installs old packages15:35
Saviqgaaah what is this shit15:42
Saviqso old packages show the same issue15:43
Saviqso /me doubts the nostrip ones will change anything15:44
Saviqnm: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity8/qml/Ubuntu/Gestures/libUbuntuGesturesQml.so: no symbols15:47
Saviqugh15:47
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|lunch
Saviqhah15:48
Saviqnew cmake15:48
Saviq?15:48
Saviqwell of course, it's MODULE, has to be SHARED to have any symbols (after stripping)15:49
om26erWhen I login to unity8 session on the desktop, apps like settings and browser never start, the spinner jus keeps spinning, help ?15:50
Saviqom26er, service cgmanager status ?15:50
Saviqdo you have libpam-cgm installed?15:50
om26erSaviq, no, let me install15:50
om26erSaviq, is that all ?15:51
Saviqtsdgeos, almost certain https://paste.ubuntu.com/15568628/ will fix15:51
Saviqom26er, that we know of, yeah15:52
Saviqbug #153505815:52
ubot5`bug 1535058 in ubuntu-app-launch (Ubuntu) "applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153505815:52
om26erSaviq, also will these legacy apps be able to export their app menu to unity8' top panel ? (in future)15:52
tsdgeosSaviq: may be, yeah15:52
Saviqom26er, yes, app menus, it's in the works15:52
tsdgeosSaviq: can we get https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity8/betterUnityTestCaseErrors/+merge/290628 in the next silo (and someone to review it)? will help debugging test failures like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15565912/15:53
Saviqtsdgeos, and cmake between 3.2 and 3.5 probably changed something why it suddenly fails now15:53
tsdgeosright15:53
Saviqtsdgeos, ack15:53
om26erSaviq, last one, sorry they keep coming. The mouse pointer in Unity8 session behaves different from my curent unity session. Which package is reponsible for that pointer ? Mir or Unity8 ?15:54
om26er...so that I could report the bug (or find it)15:54
Saviqom26er, define "behaves different"?15:54
Saviqom26er, in any case, unity8 draws the cursor15:54
om26erSaviq, when I try to click somewhere the mouse mostly moves15:54
Saviq¿?15:55
om26eryeah, difficult to explain but really easy to reproduce15:55
tsdgeosvideo!15:56
Saviqom26er, yeah, please file a bug with a video :)15:56
om26erHow can I disable the right edge demos in Unity8 session from command line ? seems there is no way to dismiss them with the mouse16:03
mterrymzanetti: there's a way to emit from Qt a signal that says "this object changed, qml bindings that call a method on this object should update", right?16:07
mzanettimterry, well, yeah. depends on how you get to the object16:08
mzanettiis it a property of something?16:08
mterryI've got a binding like "prop: Object.searchPaths(icon)" -- and if Object changes its search paths, I want to emit something to get that binding recalculated16:10
mterrymzanetti: ^16:10
mzanettiyeah, question is where does "Object" come from?16:10
mterrymzanetti: it's an object I made and control16:11
mterrymzanetti: i.e. a plugin I have in u816:11
mterry(well one that josharenson made and controls, asking for a review of some split greeter code)16:12
mzanettiso if that object like: Q_PROPERTY(QObject* object READ object NOTIFY objectChanged)16:12
mzanettithen yeah, emit the ebjectChanged and the searchPaths() will be called again16:12
mzanettibut if that object is set to qml like "rootContext()->setContextProperty(object, "object")16:13
mzanettithen your outlook isn't so bright16:13
mterrymzanetti: hrm ok16:17
mterrymzanetti: I thought there was some lowish-level call to say "this object changed" that didn't use the Q_PROPERTY system like that.  Ah well16:17
mzanettiafraid not16:18
mzanettiltinkl, seems the browser's window title doesn't work any more. there was some branch where you changed that. can you refresh my mind on that?16:20
ltinklmzanetti, I don't remember changing anything since this was implemented16:22
mzanettiok... it seems broken now16:22
mzanettibut wasn't there something in qtubuntu or something you changed?16:22
ltinklmzanetti, there was an SDK chaneg tho that might have broken it16:22
mzanettiright16:22
ltinklmzanetti, let's see if I can still find it...16:25
ltinklmzanetti, what does it display now? just the static app name:16:26
ltinkl?16:26
mzanettidon't know. am in a meeting and saviq confirmed it's not working16:26
ltinklmzanetti, alright, will try to find the culprit16:34
mzanettithanks ltinkl16:35
=== dandrader|lunch is now known as dandrader
ltinklmzanetti, so, it doesn't look like an SDK bug, the change got never merged: https://code.launchpad.net/~mpt/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/1542099-window-title17:00
ltinklmzanetti, something/someone must've broken this in qtubuntu17:01
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD
Saviqmzanetti, actually not sure my fix helps, but it is cmake that's at fault - installing old cmake everything's fine again17:10
Saviqok now I'm sure it doesn't help17:18
Saviqmterry, fun: bug #156435119:05
ubot5`bug 1564351 in unity8 (Ubuntu) ""Swipe from the left edge to open the launcher" - do not work on the desktop" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/156435119:05
Saviqhe probably has his desktop forced to Staged even though he has no touchscreen...19:05
mterrySaviq: yeah...  hm19:06
Saviqobviously if he pushed his mouse against the edge it'd work, but he's being told to swipe ;)19:06
mterrySaviq: the tutorial should check the window mode19:06
Saviqmterry, it should react to mouse movement, IMO (and presence of touch screen)19:07
=== dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk
josharensonIs there a way to get trunk to build in xenial?19:41
Saviqjosharenson, it does build, wassup?20:01
Saviqjosharenson, there was a cmake issue yesterday, make sure you have cmake 3.5.120:01
