| xnox | infinity, does it mean I can squeeze in a netcfg sru? =) | 21:46 |
|---|---|---|
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: Any progress on the double top panel bug? | 21:54 |
| dmj_s76 | With 16.04.2 being delayed, this might be a good thing to get into the iso if we can get it fixed soon. | 21:56 |
| cyphermox | dmj_s76: good that you ask, I have a fix in my PPA for you to test | 22:02 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: newer than the broken one from last week, yes? | 22:03 |
| cyphermox | well, I had tested it and it was working, but maybe the issue was just how complicated it is to test this kind of stuff | 22:04 |
| dmj_s76 | I'll test again :) | 22:04 |
| infinity | xnox: Depends on how invasive it is. | 22:04 |
| cyphermox | dmj_s76: you might want to just rip the panel binary from the ubiquity-frontend-gtk package and insert it on the system | 22:05 |
| dmj_s76 | infinity: fairly non-invasive assuming it's fixed by the current tweaks. Two line fix change in one file. | 22:05 |
| cyphermox | dmj_s76: oh, that's right, I was uploading you a fixed up iso | 22:05 |
| dmj_s76 | oh...link? | 22:05 |
| infinity | dmj_s76: Hrm? I was talking about xnox's netcfg... | 22:05 |
| dmj_s76 | infinity: oh...nvm then | 22:06 |
| xnox | infinity, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/1.138ubuntu3 but ignore po updates | 22:06 |
| xnox | infinity, and http://launchpadlibrarian.net/301782792/netcfg_1.138ubuntu2_1.138ubuntu3.diff.gz | 22:06 |
| xnox | both are cosmetic and nice to haves, just UX and strings presentation (show Ethernet, instead of Unknown interface on all arches; and do not show option "4: ," for wifi on s390x) | 22:07 |
| xnox | without breaking any existing translations | 22:07 |
| xnox | locations are changed in the tempalate, but no strings changed, nothing fuzzy | 22:08 |
| xnox | i'll upload tomorrow and let you check it out =) | 22:08 |
| cyphermox | dmj_s76: http://people.canonical.com/~mtrudel/custom.iso | 22:10 |
| cyphermox | that's a zesty iso I frankensteined with the right file in the right place, but it should be pretty representative. | 22:11 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: great, will try it out | 22:15 |
| dmj_s76 | taking a while to download :P | 22:16 |
| cyphermox | yeah, no way around that | 22:17 |
| cyphermox | the other option is to take the panel binary from ubiquity-frontend-gtk and injecting it in the right place on the image, using break=bottom | 22:17 |
| cyphermox | (and another device to get the file from) | 22:17 |
| dmj_s76 | meanwhile...3 other hidpi bugs need my attention | 22:18 |
| cyphermox | and not mine? | 22:20 |
| dmj_s76 | #multitasking :P | 22:23 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: Also, our newest System76er is also working on a different ubiquity bug today. | 22:24 |
| cyphermox | ok | 22:24 |
| dmj_s76 | He's got the suggested fix in his branch as of a few minutes ago. | 22:25 |
| dmj_s76 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jackpot51/ubiquity/ubiquity/revision/6506 | 22:25 |
| cyphermox | ping me if there's anything, I'm actually off hacking at networking stuff unrelated to ubiquity, and not paying much attention to IRC | 22:25 |
| cyphermox | dmj_s76: now for that test what I'll want to know is: whether the panel is very large, with a big accesibility icon as before, but without the "doubling" effect of the gradient in the panel, or if nothing changed ;) | 22:26 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: you got it! | 22:27 |
| cyphermox | or if the panel is now the right size with icons more or less all looking the same size and the gradient being ok | 22:27 |
| cyphermox | and I should see about getting hidpi hardware. | 22:27 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: So first testing shows that the panel is still double height. | 23:14 |
| dmj_s76 | The "doubling" effect is gone. | 23:15 |
| dmj_s76 | Instead of repeating the pattern, the panel now looks normal for the top half and is a solid color for the bottom half (matching the color of the bottom row of pixels from the top half) | 23:15 |
| xevious | I've got a hidpi laptop (2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15"). Is there anything I can do to help? | 23:16 |
| xevious | Or is 2880x1800 not hi enough? (ie. Are you focused on 4k+?) | 23:17 |
| dmj_s76 | xevious: Do you use it at 2x scaling factor? | 23:20 |
| dmj_s76 | (equivalent to 1440x900) | 23:20 |
| dmj_s76 | xevious: That's not quite the ideal for a hidpi screen, (Apple ought to be choosing 4K for 15" models) but it definitely falls into the hidpi category. | 23:22 |
| dmj_s76 | xevious: Unity should be setting scaling for you automatically soon. | 23:23 |
| xevious | I use the scaling factor that's equivalent to 1680x1050. | 23:23 |
| xevious | There are very few things I ever notice pixels in. Unfortunately, Quassel is one of them. | 23:24 |
| dmj_s76 | I see. You're not actually getting scaling equivalent to 1680x1050, since GTK3 can only truly scale to integer multiples. | 23:24 |
| dmj_s76 | If you try scaling between what you have now and integer multiples, you'll notice some funky ways toolkits lay things out. | 23:25 |
| xevious | Yes, I've definitely noticed funkiness. | 23:25 |
| xevious | I rarely boot Linux on this thing, since macOS is so much better optimized for battery life. | 23:25 |
| dmj_s76 | How Unity is compensating is to use accessibility features to split the difference. | 23:26 |
| dmj_s76 | xevious: If you're feeling like testing hidpi, you could see how this is in zesty currently: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1649736 | 23:29 |
| dmj_s76 | or take a look at this bug that cyphermox and I are working on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1622686 | 23:29 |
| xevious | The second one seems easier to test, since I can just write the ISO to a stick and boot it. | 23:32 |
| xevious | The other one would require me to get a completely out of date Ubuntu (15.10 I think?) partition updated to zesty. | 23:33 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: I wonder if lack of hidpi support in the humanity icon theme is the reason | 23:35 |
| xevious | I'll let you all know what my laptop does when I boot the custom.iso that cyphermox linked to above. | 23:37 |
| xevious | ...whenever it decides to finish. It's going pretty slowly. | 23:37 |
| cyphermox | dmj_s76: no, it's just code; it ought to be picking the right size for the panel | 23:41 |
| cyphermox | now, the color thing is because of the change from REPEAT to PAD, but the height is still wrong | 23:41 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: yep, that's what my testing shows | 23:43 |
| dmj_s76 | cyphermox: So, actually it is the humanity icon theme that's causing the double height | 23:50 |
| dmj_s76 | *however* I think the patch will fix another minor look issue | 23:50 |
| dmj_s76 | will let you know if so in five minutes | 23:50 |
