[21:46] <xnox> infinity, does it mean I can squeeze in a netcfg sru? =)
[21:54] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: Any progress on the double top panel bug?
[21:56] <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.
[22:02] <cyphermox> dmj_s76: good that you ask, I have a fix in my PPA for you to test
[22:03] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: newer than the broken one from last week, yes?
[22:04] <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.
[22:05] <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...
[22:06] <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
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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 =)
[22:10] <cyphermox> dmj_s76: http://people.canonical.com/~mtrudel/custom.iso
[22:11] <cyphermox> that's a zesty iso I frankensteined with the right file in the right place, but it should be pretty representative.
[22:15] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: great, will try it out
[22:16] <dmj_s76> taking a while to download :P
[22:17] <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)
[22:18] <dmj_s76> meanwhile...3 other hidpi bugs need my attention
[22:20] <cyphermox> and not mine?
[22:23] <dmj_s76> #multitasking :P
[22:24] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: Also, our newest System76er is also working on a different ubiquity bug today.
[22:24] <cyphermox> ok
[22:25] <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
[22:26] <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 ;)
[22:27] <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.
[23:14] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: So first testing shows that the panel is still double height.
[23:15] <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)
[23:16] <xevious> I've got a hidpi laptop (2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15"). Is there anything I can do to help?
[23:17] <xevious> Or is 2880x1800 not hi enough? (ie. Are you focused on 4k+?)
[23:20] <dmj_s76> xevious: Do you use it at 2x scaling factor?
[23:20] <dmj_s76> (equivalent to 1440x900)
[23:22] <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.
[23:23] <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.
[23:24] <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.
[23:25] <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.
[23:26] <dmj_s76> How Unity is compensating is to use accessibility features to split the difference.
[23:29] <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
[23:32] <xevious> The second one seems easier to test, since I can just write the ISO to a stick and boot it.
[23:33] <xevious> The other one would require me to get a completely out of date Ubuntu (15.10 I think?) partition updated to zesty.
[23:35] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: I wonder if lack of hidpi support in the humanity icon theme is the reason
[23:37] <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.
[23:41] <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
[23:43] <dmj_s76> cyphermox: yep, that's what my testing shows
[23:50] <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
