[10:18] bug 1630337 in unity8 (Ubuntu) "Need DBus API to get current co-ordinates of the Pointer" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1630337 [10:20] for anyone else reading, we need this for Autopilot to animate the mouse pointer under Mir based desktop session. === om26er is now known as om26er_tst === om26er_tst is now known as om26er [10:42] * om26er wonders if we could have a dbus signal on when the shell switches modes (desktop to touch and vice versa) [10:52] om26er, I still stand by my opinion... you want so many internals of unity8, just start it in testability mode [10:52] Tools must rely on APIs not on internal details. [10:52] 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 [10:53] well, that's a fair argument... [10:54] om26er, but we have the autopilot helper thingies for that, which are supposed to be stable [10:54] or well, an "API" at least [10:56] mzanetti: that would be over-doing things, even a simple test would restart unity to enable testability. [10:56] don't restart it all the time [10:56] X11 provides these APIs, we expect a Mir based server to be our friend as well :) [10:56] just configure the testing host to have unity8 always in testability mode [10:56] X11 is broken [10:57] which is why we have mir [10:58] its not always about a lab like environment, people run tests on their *own* desktops all the time, We should not restart their session. [11:01] 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. === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [13:59] 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 ? === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [14:22] hi! [14:29] om26er, there's a gsetting [14:29] com.canonical.Unity8 usage-mode [14:30] but that might not be long-term === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === maxb_ is now known as maxb === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader
