=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2 [21:46] infinity, does it mean I can squeeze in a netcfg sru? =) [21:54] cyphermox: Any progress on the double top panel bug? [21:56] With 16.04.2 being delayed, this might be a good thing to get into the iso if we can get it fixed soon. [22:02] dmj_s76: good that you ask, I have a fix in my PPA for you to test [22:03] cyphermox: newer than the broken one from last week, yes? [22:04] 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] I'll test again :) [22:04] xnox: Depends on how invasive it is. [22:05] 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] infinity: fairly non-invasive assuming it's fixed by the current tweaks. Two line fix change in one file. [22:05] dmj_s76: oh, that's right, I was uploading you a fixed up iso [22:05] oh...link? [22:05] dmj_s76: Hrm? I was talking about xnox's netcfg... [22:06] infinity: oh...nvm then [22:06] infinity, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netcfg/1.138ubuntu3 but ignore po updates [22:06] infinity, and http://launchpadlibrarian.net/301782792/netcfg_1.138ubuntu2_1.138ubuntu3.diff.gz [22:07] 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] without breaking any existing translations [22:08] locations are changed in the tempalate, but no strings changed, nothing fuzzy [22:08] i'll upload tomorrow and let you check it out =) [22:10] dmj_s76: http://people.canonical.com/~mtrudel/custom.iso [22:11] that's a zesty iso I frankensteined with the right file in the right place, but it should be pretty representative. [22:15] cyphermox: great, will try it out [22:16] taking a while to download :P [22:17] yeah, no way around that [22:17] 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] (and another device to get the file from) [22:18] meanwhile...3 other hidpi bugs need my attention [22:20] and not mine? [22:23] #multitasking :P [22:24] cyphermox: Also, our newest System76er is also working on a different ubiquity bug today. [22:24] ok [22:25] He's got the suggested fix in his branch as of a few minutes ago. [22:25] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jackpot51/ubiquity/ubiquity/revision/6506 [22:25] ping me if there's anything, I'm actually off hacking at networking stuff unrelated to ubiquity, and not paying much attention to IRC [22:26] 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 ;) [22:27] cyphermox: you got it! [22:27] 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] and I should see about getting hidpi hardware. [23:14] cyphermox: So first testing shows that the panel is still double height. [23:15] The "doubling" effect is gone. [23:15] 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) [23:16] I've got a hidpi laptop (2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15"). Is there anything I can do to help? [23:17] Or is 2880x1800 not hi enough? (ie. Are you focused on 4k+?) [23:20] xevious: Do you use it at 2x scaling factor? [23:20] (equivalent to 1440x900) [23:22] 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. [23:23] xevious: Unity should be setting scaling for you automatically soon. [23:23] I use the scaling factor that's equivalent to 1680x1050. [23:24] There are very few things I ever notice pixels in. Unfortunately, Quassel is one of them. [23:24] I see. You're not actually getting scaling equivalent to 1680x1050, since GTK3 can only truly scale to integer multiples. [23:25] If you try scaling between what you have now and integer multiples, you'll notice some funky ways toolkits lay things out. [23:25] Yes, I've definitely noticed funkiness. [23:25] I rarely boot Linux on this thing, since macOS is so much better optimized for battery life. [23:26] How Unity is compensating is to use accessibility features to split the difference. [23:29] 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] or take a look at this bug that cyphermox and I are working on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1622686 [23:32] The second one seems easier to test, since I can just write the ISO to a stick and boot it. [23:33] The other one would require me to get a completely out of date Ubuntu (15.10 I think?) partition updated to zesty. [23:35] cyphermox: I wonder if lack of hidpi support in the humanity icon theme is the reason [23:37] I'll let you all know what my laptop does when I boot the custom.iso that cyphermox linked to above. [23:37] ...whenever it decides to finish. It's going pretty slowly. [23:41] dmj_s76: no, it's just code; it ought to be picking the right size for the panel [23:41] now, the color thing is because of the change from REPEAT to PAD, but the height is still wrong [23:43] cyphermox: yep, that's what my testing shows [23:50] cyphermox: So, actually it is the humanity icon theme that's causing the double height [23:50] *however* I think the patch will fix another minor look issue [23:50] will let you know if so in five minutes
