tsdgeosSaviq: since the silos triple build now, should we adapt the CI?11:04
Saviqtsdgeos, right, yes, we should11:18
Saviqbut that will mean a lot of red right now ;)11:18
Saviqstill, doing11:19
tsdgeosoka11:19
tsdgeosSaviq: i'm going to unassign me and you to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1535798 so it closes in 60 days since noone seems to care about retesting/giving a case in which it fails12:32
ubot5Launchpad bug 1535798 in Canonical System Image "My Music scope, tracks with odd characters in the path play but don't update the icon or show progress bar" [High,Incomplete]12:32
tsdgeosactually just unassigning me aws enough12:33
tsdgeoscool12:33
zzarrhello!13:24
zzarris there a way to change what sound output libertine uses? (it's not the same as Mir/Unity8)13:25
Saviqbregma, any idea ↑?13:27
cimitsdgeos, https://unity8-jenkins.ubuntu.com/job/test-0-autopkgtest/label=amd64,release=vivid+overlay,testname=qmluitests.sh/808/ ?13:28
tsdgeoscimi: yeah flaky test13:28
tsdgeoscan't be related13:28
tsdgeosdidn't touch the spread at all13:28
cimisorry wrong copy paste :)13:29
cimitsdgeos, btw can we make it more stable with your new branch to stabilise tests?13:30
davmor2tsdgeos: that looks like my bug I'll check for you after but I thought I had provided people with tracks already13:30
tsdgeoscimi: no idea, haven't looked at it13:30
tsdgeosdavmor2: maybe it's fixed in one of the 150 branches we have yet to land13:30
mterrySaviq, happy Monday!  :)  So silo 58, is it still blocked on an uninstallability issue?13:31

mterryaha.  we don't play with ccache well apparently16:27
bschaefergreyback, hello, so to talk about maliit osk window resizing17:30
bschaefererr moving rather17:30
bschaefernow ... this will be a huge issue for gtk apps, but even when i tried a qt in app in xmir it didnt move the window (not sure how that informations gets sent to qt)17:31
bschaeferi assumes since its on X11 it never gets there from unity8 unless some sort of dbus stuff?17:31
* bschaefer should have remember earlier and assumes you're off :)17:31
greybackbschaefer: I'm still around17:32
greybackbschaefer: there is a side-channel which communicates between shell and qtubuntu to tell it the OSK size17:33
greybackthat doesn't existin xmir17:33
bschaefero ok soo my guess is the qt apps on xmir doesnt use the qtubuntu platform17:33
bschaefersoo that'll be an issue17:33
bschaeferyeah17:33
greybackright17:33
greybackqtubuntu allows Qt apps run on Mir17:33
bschaefernor can that be solved... sooo we'll need a separate handling method :(17:33
greybackwell it /could/ - but that's a platform specific solution, and GTK won't be happy then17:34
bschaeferyup17:34
bschaeferwhich is a lot of the apps hmm17:34
bschaefergreyback, the only other way i've thought of is to manually resize the windows... or rather ask them to resize17:34
bschaeferif ... the other way doesnt work17:34
bschaeferbut that seems harsh17:34
greybackbschaefer: have you talked to some GTK people? In case they're aware of a nice thing they cna do?17:35
bschaefergreyback, i have not!17:35
* bschaefer adds that to the list to track down17:35
bschaeferwould be nice if they did support something like that directly17:35
greybackbschaefer: because resizing a window isn't always guaranteed to work. Some windows have a minimum size17:36
bschaeferyup, hence why it would be a suggestion17:36
bschaeferand wont always work but if it would work anyway, not sure how it would have worked anyway :)17:36
greybackhow about could te toolkit inform us of the geometry of the focused text box, then shell could move the surface to never occlude the text box?17:36
bschaefererr if it wouldnt have worked /me generates confusing sentences17:36
bschaefergreyback, well im hoping thats ... maliit would know this17:37
bschaeferbut17:37
bschaeferdnag17:37
bschaeferi know the toolkit tells maliit where to draw17:37
bschaefererr17:37
bschaeferpreedit lines at lease17:37
bschaeferfor the text17:37
* bschaefer double checks this17:37
bschaefergreyback, hmm actually dont think so but there *seems* to be a dbus interface to change to position of the maliit keyboard17:39
greybackbschaefer: also, has not an OSK been a thing people can enable for accessibility?17:39
bschaefersoo i might have to figure out... how to do this per input context17:39
bschaeferqt/gtk17:39
bschaefergreyback, err usually you can enable them?17:40
bschaeferfor U7 you can at lease17:40
greybackbschaefer: caution that that is an X11 dbus thing17:40
* bschaefer might have mis understood that question17:40
greybackbe wary that Mir may not let maliit do what X11 did17:40
bschaefergreyback, o very true17:40
bschaeferive not tested out this function and if it works on mir17:40
greybackbschaefer: well I know it can be enabled, but surely then it would have the same consequences that you're looking at now - and possibly some solutions17:41
bschaeferthat would be a good first step since we slightly depend on it :)17:41
bschaefergreyback, well i would assume the desktop just doesnt do that sort of thing17:41
bschaeferbut yeah i should17:41
bschaeferlook into how the desktop handles it17:41
greybackbschaefer: plz have a look, just in case17:41
bschaefero yeah17:41
bschaeferi need to17:41
* bschaefer adds it to the list17:41
greybackodds are, there's nothing17:41
greybackbut just in case17:41
bschaefergreyback, we could also ... set the osk as part of the ...17:42
bschaeferU8 interface17:42
bschaeferjust like the panel?17:42
bschaeferthat would be resizing though17:42
bschaefer(same idea i suppose)17:42
greybackbschaefer: I'd rather not. Later on there could be 3rd party keyboards17:42
bschaefergreyback, very true17:42
bschaefergreyback, cool you've given some things to dig around thanks!17:42
greybackbschaefer: we can let keyboard draw anywhere it wants on screen17:43
bschaeferyeah17:43
greybackI wonder what Windows10 does17:43
bschaeferi can take a look my brother has win10 on his desktop17:44
bschaefergreyback, i think ... win before has done17:44
* bschaefer cant remember :)17:44
greybackbschaefer: would you please write up your research in a doc, so people can read and contribute?17:44
bschaefergreyback, yup! Quickly checking Win717:45
bschaeferits just a normal window17:45
bschaeferif you move it over a text box17:45
bschaeferyou just can draw on it17:45
bschaefererr see it*17:45
greybackso it occludes?17:45
bschaeferyou cant see the text box* and it still allows it no17:45
bschaeferno17:45
* bschaefer cant speak atm17:45
bschaefergreyback, its just a normal window always on top17:45
greybackok, so it relies on user to reposition OSK surface to not occlude17:45
bschaeferyes, thats one thing that maliit needs17:46
bschaeferif you can move it around your self17:46
bschaeferthen this solves that as well17:46
greybackbschaefer: I think windows7 is too old, win8 onwards has a very different OSK17:46
greybackI've got Win9/10 on a machine, I can try that at home17:46
bschaefergreyback, cool yeah i can try it as well i a bit17:47
greybackI think we can do better than "leave it to the user to fix it" :)17:47
bschaefervery true :)17:47
greybackbschaefer: the needs of a typical user OSK may differ significantly to the needs of an Accessibility keyboard - would be good to know if that the case or not17:49
bschaefero very true i look through the options but didnt see any different placement options17:49
* bschaefer wonders what would be the best solution really...17:55
bschaeferif the user moves an OSK over an input area...17:56
bschaeferthats just bad on them, but if it maps over one thats not good and *what* would ideally happen?17:56
bschaeferideally, you can see the keyboard to click on, and you can clearly see the input area...17:56
bschaefersooo something has to move17:56
bschaeferbut what about something like gedit?17:57
bschaeferwhere the entire window is a input area :(17:57

greybackbschaefer: another thing I fear we'll be missing - how do you unfocus the text entry box?18:24
bschaefergreyback, im not sure how it currently works :)... i assume anytime you click away from it?18:24
greybacksay you're editing a form, with a bunch of textboxes. When you tap one box, OSK slides up. But when you're done, what do you tap on to unfocus it?18:24
bschaeferhmm18:25
greybackbschaefer: user can't really unfocus, only move focus to something else18:25
bschaefermaybe a button on the osk?18:25
bschaeferyou can slide the osk down18:25
bschaeferto hide it but theres no way to ... *unfocus* it18:25
bschaeferif a box is selected18:25
greybackand then,  do we know user tapped another text box to bring up osk again?18:25
bschaeferyeah thats how it currenlty works18:25
bschaeferannoyingly18:25
bschaeferas if you have the osk open18:26
bschaeferslide it down to hide18:26
bschaeferthen click on a different input area18:26
bschaeferit comes back up18:26
bschaefer(actually IIRC clicking back on the same input area will cause it to re-open)18:26
greybackok, so at least osk won't stay hidden if user wants to summon it18:27
bschaeferright, i havnt had that issue18:27
greybackandroid does have a hide-osk button on the osk18:27
greybackso we might need that too18:27
bschaeferyeah i agree18:27
bschaeferas sliding it down... makes sense but not always easy to figure out18:27

dandrader|afkfwiw, OSK on my android phone doesn't have a hide button18:32
dandrader|afkI have to press the phone's back soft-button18:33
bschaefergood to know maybe different android versions?18:34

greybackbschaefer: my nexus 10 OSK has software buttons , one of which is the hide-OSK button (one on the right I think)19:20
greybackmaybe a hardware button does it for you19:20
bschaefergreyback, we dont have that luxury :)19:21
bschaeferthough i dont remember seeing anything in maliit for that19:21
* bschaefer isnt sure how hard that would be19:21
* greyback eod19:22
greybacko/19:22
bschaeferattente, hey (if you're still around). How new is maliit inputcontext gtk3?22:44
bschaeferlooking back at vivid + overlay it seems to just be an empty package?22:45
bschaeferin xenial it install im-modules.so22:45
bschaeferbut the vivid one installs no libraries22:45
bschaeferlooks ... pretty new from the google, you created the project in 2015-11-20... and first ppa was build jan 2016 hmm22:46
bschaefersoo that wont be in vivid :(22:46
