b4nandyrock: re. a11y shortcuts:08:52
b4nif using XI2 "normally" doesn't really work, would we have another, possibly transitional, solution?08:53
b4na separate plugin providing shortcuts handling for a11y tools, based off AT-SPI (meh, the API doesn't look good), or XI2 (maybe in another process)?08:54
b4nor maybe allow Actions to be triggered remotely through a socket/DBus/whataver API, so a separate app could take care of the event handling and control Compiz?08:54
b4nfor specific things obviously08:55
b4nI kinda like the idea of remote control, but it might raise a question on how to avoid bad interaction between Compiz's normal handling and remote commands if they happen roughly at the same time.  But it cuold ismply not be handled specially and the setup should make sure not to trigger the same thing that compiz already does08:56
davmor2Morning all08:59

seb128hey willcooke Laney davmor209:07
seb128how is u.k today?09:07
seb128enjoyed the pancakes?09:07
davmor2seb128: still full of pancake09:07
andyrockb4n, that could work but hard to implment09:07
andyrock*implement09:07
seb128hey andyrock09:07
andyrockand hey all09:07
andyrock:D09:07
b4nhey andyrock09:07
b4nandyrock: do you have any acceptable idea that would work and be reasonable to implement?09:08
* willcooke checks the time09:08
* willcooke . . o O (Hmm. Before noon)09:08
willcookeHey andyrock :DD09:09
seb128willcooke, it's tea time!09:09
willcookeseb128, \o/09:09
seb128but that's not saying a lot for you right?09:09
willcookelol09:09
seb128it's always tea time in the u.k09:09
seb128:-)09:09
seb128but yeah, what's up with italians being awake in the morning?!09:09
seb128next Trevinho is going to say hello?09:09
andyrockahahaahah09:10
seb128:-)09:10
andyrockb4n: I would suggest you to understand why xi2 with CompScreen::dpy() does not work09:11
b4nandyrock: hum, okay.  i'm afraid i'll have to learn a lot about all that before I can start to understand anything, but well ^^09:12
Trevinhohi seb128 :-D09:12
seb128see! what's going on here?!09:12
seb128hey Trevinho :-)09:12
willcookeWHHAAAAAAAAA09:12
Trevinhoahah..09:13
b4nandyrock: but then, it's theoretically possible to get both X and XI2 events together in the same loop without conflicts?09:13
andyrockyep09:13
TrevinhoIt's just that we're not morning speakers :_D09:13
andyrocki still need to get my coffee09:13
davmor2seb128: no tea time is afternoon/evening not morning, Morning is Elevensies09:14
davmor2willcooke: Elevensies time :D09:14
b4nandyrock: okay.  I'll try and look into that, but no promises given my current X event expertise ^^09:14
willcookedavmor2, I'm still washing down the Marmite09:14
davmor2willcooke: oh you're one of those are you ;)09:15
TrevinhoLaney: about that unity7.service, you want also uss in wants?09:15
willcookedavmor2, is this the start of a civil war?09:15
TrevinhoLaney: I mean, I thought it not being there causing more serious problems, but... well, at leas something is there09:15
willcookedavmor2, look at the state of this:  http://imgur.com/a/klgo909:16
Trevinhoprobably the one that is making unity the less usable is anyway BAMF09:16
Laneyhey seb128 willcooke andyrock davmor2 Trevinho09:16
Trevinhowillcooke: Oh... I want the store to sell them again!!!09:16
LaneyTrevinho: It's alright if it crashes and restarts isn't it?09:16
willcookeTrevinho, yeah! The only sell the grey ones now :(((((09:16
Laneybetter than crashing the session anyway09:16
Laneyor?09:16
Trevinhowillcooke: Mine is still in pretty good state (lovely washed with hands for years)...09:16
Trevinhobut I'm always worried that someone could break it09:17
willcookeTrevinho, wise!  I chuck mine in the dishwasher every day :)  Plus my wife broke my grey one :/09:17
Trevinhowillcooke: oh, I didn't want to be her in that moment :-D09:20
TrevinhoLaney: well, no it's not better... I loved the idea that unity didn't start if these prereq were not there09:21
Trevinhoso that we couldn't give a broken state09:21
Trevinhobut, it seems we can't have both cases (i.e. if a component then crashes, the everything follows)09:21
TrevinhoDamn, I knew I should have gone to ski this morning... http://imgur.com/a/rHgPF :|09:22
davmor2willcooke: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AoE68cz63OUescCRiR9W4QG4I9aORLVrig/view?usp=sharing My mug is more evil than yours :D09:22
willcookeLD09:23
willcooke:D09:23
LaneyTrevinho: Not better?09:23
LaneyRight, well, if you think that crashing the session is better then Requires is what you want...09:23
TrevinhoLaney: it's not better... it was a trade off.... I wanted to make start unity7 to ensure it starts all the rest, but that leads us to this situation, where something crashing, causes the world to explode09:24
Trevinhoso.... I agree it's just better to move everything09:24
Laneymmm09:24
Laneymaybe there's some way to achieve that09:24
Laneybut then you get: ups has a crash bug on startup -> can't start the session09:25
TrevinhoLaney: which, for ups is also.. okeish... you're just going to miss indicators, but bamf or uss, it would just bring something that you can't work with09:26
TrevinhoLaney: anwyay, I've pushed the wants-only version, so if you're fine with that. please give your coin09:27
Laneymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm09:27
Laneyusd is probably different, you're right09:27
Laneyit's not really a working session without that09:27
Laneybut I don't know how to achieve this09:27
Laneyunless we give it an OnFailure= that does something nice maybe09:28
Laneysomething to think about09:28
Laneythanks for pushing! can you give me the link again please?09:28
TrevinhoLaney: I instead wanted to make the session to crash when unity in locked state and unity crashes09:28
TrevinhoLaney: https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/unity/unity7-wants-ups09:29
Laneythat would be good too09:29
Laneymaybe something with BindsTo and the target could help there09:31
Laneynot sure atm09:31
LaneyTrevinho: should be RequiredBy=ubuntu-session.target, no?09:32
Laneythe session itself isn't valid without unity7, but unity7 is (arguably) valid without those other things09:32
* Laney approved, feel free to fix that as you like09:33
TrevinhoLaney: yeah, we discussed with pitti too... the idea was to define a unity-locked target and that would cause to change the relationship with th esession09:33

LaneyTrevinho: If you didn't get far on the zeitgeist diff, I can do it quickly11:08
* Laney wants to upload this11:08
TrevinhoLaney: I can do it after lunch...11:34
Laneynah, don't worry about it11:35
TrevinhoLaney: as you prefer... you also move to 1.0?11:35

TrevinhoLaney: nice work with that15:42
Trevinho(not speaking of your neighbours :-D, but of zeitgeist)15:43
Laneyheh15:43
* Laney hugs Trevinho 15:43
Laneythanks for the debate15:43
Laney:P15:43
TrevinhoLaney: you should get involved in Politics too :-D15:44
Laneyheheh15:45
Laneyclose enough to that with bike stuff sometimes15:45
Laneyanyway it was hard to test the iso in a clean state15:46
Laneybut i think it worked, will know for sure tomorrow15:46
seb128bah, "issue of the day" today, can't switch between sessions without getting my gpu locked/graphical corruption or my user session being closed for some $reason :-/15:50
seb128it's not specific to today, just happened to try to test a bug on the greeter15:50
seb128intel support of that old gen quite regressed over years :-(15:51
Laney:(15:52
b4nandyrock: do you have an embryonic patch that adds the non-working XI2?  It would probably save me some initial research16:13
Trevinhoseb128: now that libappindicator3-1 SRU is in xenial, you can use that as stage-package in the gnomeruntime...16:20
seb128Trevinho, great, thanks!16:42
Trevinhoseb128: still using the remote part will save you to use "prime:" to clean the unneeded files though ;-)16:43
seb128Trevinho, you are quite insistant on that :p16:44
seb128Trevinho, convince Didier, he's the one maintaining the helper16:44
seb128oh, that would be in the runtime16:45
Trevinhoseb128: ahah, well, he was fine for the helper actually (and two PRs got merged, and then reverted because of troubles)... But snapcraft has some issues with remote of remotes... not for the runtime though16:45
seb128k16:47
seb128well I still think we should bundle too much, we can revisit if there is user demand or if we see it's creating issue16:47
seb128but there was no sign of that so far16:47
jbichaqengho: is there a particular reason why Ubuntu's Chromium sets use_gconf=true instead of false like Debian?17:04
Laneynight!18:20
willcookenight laney18:24
willcookeand night from me o/18:24
seb128night Laney18:26
seb128& desktop18:26
seb128see you tomorrow!18:26
qenghojbicha: as I recall, it's to get access to display-density information in settings.18:37
jbichaqengho: do you want me to file a bug? I'd like to not have gconf installed on my computer any more18:40
