| om26er | mzanetti: what are your thoughts on bug 1630337 can we get that implemented ? | 10:18 |
| ubot5 | bug 1630337 in unity8 (Ubuntu) "Need DBus API to get current co-ordinates of the Pointer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1630337 | 10:18 |
| om26er | for anyone else reading, we need this for Autopilot to animate the mouse pointer under Mir based desktop session. | 10:20 |

| * om26er wonders if we could have a dbus signal on when the shell switches modes (desktop to touch and vice versa) | 10:42 | |
| mzanetti | om26er, I still stand by my opinion... you want so many internals of unity8, just start it in testability mode | 10:52 |
| om26er | Tools must rely on APIs not on internal details. | 10:52 |
| mzanetti | you've got all you want there... IMO it's wrong to set up a setting testing interface just for autopilot when we already made things available for autopilot | 10:52 |
| mzanetti | well, that's a fair argument... | 10:53 |
| mzanetti | om26er, but we have the autopilot helper thingies for that, which are supposed to be stable | 10:54 |
| mzanetti | or well, an "API" at least | 10:54 |
| om26er | mzanetti: that would be over-doing things, even a simple test would restart unity to enable testability. | 10:56 |
| mzanetti | don't restart it all the time | 10:56 |
| om26er | X11 provides these APIs, we expect a Mir based server to be our friend as well :) | 10:56 |
| mzanetti | just configure the testing host to have unity8 always in testability mode | 10:56 |
| mzanetti | X11 is broken | 10:56 |
| mzanetti | which is why we have mir | 10:57 |
| om26er | its not always about a lab like environment, people run tests on their *own* desktops all the time, We should not restart their session. | 10:58 |
| om26er | For us number1 priority is to get pointer co-ordinates. Then a dbus signal that tells if a mode switch happened i.e. touch to pointer etc. It would also be good to have current orientation but that can be fixed at mirout' level I assume. | 11:01 |

| om26er | What tells Unity8 to switch to Desktop mode vs touch mode ? Is there an event system that an external process could hook into to get those signals ? | 13:59 |

| kaisoz | hi! | 14:22 |
| Saviq | om26er, there's a gsetting | 14:29 |
| Saviq | com.canonical.Unity8 usage-mode | 14:29 |
| Saviq | but that might not be long-term | 14:30 |
