desrtthat's only fair08:34
didrocksbut we are really lucky, apart from a small cry when he's hungry, he doesn't cry at nights08:34

didrocksyeah, I guess there are things you can't control08:35
didrocksand you are lucky or not :p08:35

ksamakTrevinho: hi. I've been wondering about that coding style08:57
ksamakTrevinho: you enforce it also for ifs? I really have some problems reading that style sometimes, where does that come from? Does spilsbury prefer that?08:58
ksamakand that indentation level, what's the logic for that? i've tried to keep it up in files i was modifying, but it's really a pain09:00
ksamakTrevinho: how can i set that up in vim XD ?09:00
Laneywhat's upppppppppppppppppppppp09:02
ksamakTrevinho: lastly, for the timer issue, i've commented that three times, i haven't had any answer, here: I tried optionGetActivateAtStartup() in the constructor, but I think GSettings aren't initialized yet if the object isn't constructed.09:03
ksamakThe optionGetActivateAtStartup function only returns default value (0) if placed in constructor, or in function called by constructor. I don't know of any other mean to bypass this except a timer.09:03
ksamakTrevinho: sorry, here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ksamak/compiz/showmouse_autostart_option/+merge/31565209:03

bdrung_workhi, my keyboard mapping in Ubuntu 16.10 is somehow broken. some keypresses result in a buttonpress event (that shows the 'xev'). when using the guest session, everything is okay. any advice where to look for a broken configuration? which component is responsible for the keymapping?10:09
bdrung_workhere is the output of xev: http://paste.debian.net/918916/10:10
* Laney invokes tjaalton ^- :P10:36
tjaaltonwell I don't know how unity messes it up ;)10:38
tjaaltonor u-s-d/u-c-c10:38
tjaaltonif the guest session is fine that is10:38
bdrung_workyeah! i finally found it. open unity-control-center -> universal access -> pointing and clicking -> mouse keys -> disable control the pointer using the keypad10:39
tjaaltonha10:39
bdrung_worki don't know how i could have accidentially enabled it10:39
bdrung_workanother issue (which can be reproduced in a guest session): when clicking on an item in the global application menu, the menu entry opens. when moving the mouse to the left or right, the initial menu entry stays open (instead of showing the menu entry below the mouse). is that a know issue? if not, which package should i file the bug against?10:44
Laneystart with unity10:46
Laneynot known to me, but search Launchpad first I guess10:46

jbichaLaney: could you look into sponsoring humanity-icon-theme and adwaita-icon-theme today?12:08
LaneyI already am looking at humanity right this second12:09
jbichacool :)12:09
ximionLaney: can you push the tags you made on the appstream-glib repo to the server? ;-)12:17
Laneyok12:18
ximionalso, new asgen release, fixing a couple of issues12:18
Laneyit emails me about commits12:18
Laneyor tags or something12:18
Laneypushed12:18
ximionI'll also bring back the "show" command from the old dep11gen soon, so one can show all information asgen has about a package - the nautilus-plugin thing was a bit scary12:19
Laneyremote: fatal: Invalid revision range 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..5f9617bc3f1bf5557b4b94b618c0a46d3c802b3d12:19
LaneyWHAT12:19
Laneynot pushed12:19
ximionehhh....12:19
ximionoh, that must be your subscription settings then, I never get mail - but tbh, Github mail has been broken for me for a while (it either sends no mail or batch-sends a large chunk of ancient mail at some random point where I already read & closed issue reports)12:20
Laneywtf12:20
Laneydoes seem to have pushed something12:20
ximionfor the Git issue: try again? :P12:21
* ximion doesn't see Laney's changes at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-packagekit/appstream-glib.git12:21
LaneyI do12:24
Laneyexp branch12:24
ximion_Laney: indeed - refresh is nice ^^12:36
ximion_now that the tag is there, I hope the tracker will stop nagging about it being missing :P12:36
ximion_thanks!12:36
ximionLaney: btw, a large chunk of asgen's processing time at Debian was rsyncing data to the public location - since we use a static server where data gets copied to anyway, this was completely unnecessary. With the "set your own export dirs" feature in the latest release, one run is now 20-30min faster12:38
ximionI expected some speed improvement, but this was a bit much ^^12:38
LaneyO_O12:39
jbichayeah, github email is inconsistent for me too, I get some but definitely not all emails for new comments on issues12:39
Laneydoes that much change each time?12:39
Laneybtw branches were already pushed, just not tags12:39
Laneymaybe it failed because of that weird error12:39
LaneyI foudn the command in ctrl-r and re-ran it12:39
ximionok12:40
ximionjbicha: I am thinking about disabling mailing, because it's more distractive than useful12:41
ximionI wonder if GH is aware of the issues12:41
* ximion thought he was the only one12:41
Laneyximion: so setting the export dirs - will they be updated atomically?12:42
Laneylaunchpad rsyncs from us, so seeing an incomplete state there would be quite bad12:42
ximionLaney: they won't be updated atomically, unfortunately12:43
ximionso, in this case you won't get much from it...12:43
Laneyalthough tbh I just do rsync --delete-after export/ public/ atm12:43
Laneyso you could see half states already12:43
ximionDebian's server pushes data instead of having others pull data, so it's less of an issue12:43
* Laney coughs12:43
ximion(dak pulls, however - maybe I need to rsync the data directory still, to be safe)12:44
Laneyyou could make it do an update-then-rename thing12:44
ximionfor each html page this would be quite annoying - but possible12:45
ximionthe old generator was doing this for data/hints, maybe it's worth to reintroduce that12:45
Laneyor do something with hardlinks12:46
ximionfor media, that effort isn't necessary (new data won't be read if the corresponding metadata file isn't there, and data is never modified in media/, only added/deleted)12:46
ximionyeah, I think write-then-rename for hints/data makes a lot of sense, and maybe it's easy for html too12:47
* ximion added this to the todo list as low priority12:47
Laneyinteresting12:48
Laneyis media deleted immediately?12:48
Laneyjbicha: I get an arrow as the nautilus icon with the new packages13:16
Laneysuspect it's the change in ubuntu-themes, looks like system-file-manager-panel from there13:16
Laneywhy are we doing this change? :/13:17
jbichawe're doing it because nautilus 3.24 is doing the change13:19
Laneythat's not in zesty13:20
jbichawe could revert adwaita-icon-theme dropping the system-file-manager icon but that doesn't change the need to adapt to nautilus' icon anyway next cycle13:20
Laneyyou could do that, you could add symlinks in the new adwaita-icon-theme13:21
jbichayes but like I said we'd have to do this change next cycle any way13:21
LaneyI'm aware of that13:21
Laneybut you wouldn't introduce bugs into zesty by doing that13:22
ximionLaney: no, media is only deleted when you do a cruft collection13:25
ximionthat way, screenshots stay online for a while, in case people haven't updated their metadata yet13:26
Laneyyeah, that's what I was getting at13:26
LaneyI think the archives keep things around for a little while to avoid that problem13:26
ximionjup13:26
ximionthere is a timeout on packages in the pool inside dak13:26
ximionI guess LP does the same13:26
bdrung_workTrevinho, regarding #1671432. do i have to restart something after changing that setting?13:53
Trevinhobdrung_work: no, it should apply instantly13:54
Trevinhoit's the same as going to settings -> appearance -> behavior13:54
bdrung_workTrevinho, no, it doesn't change13:54
LaneyTrevinho: weird, it happens on my desktop but not my laptop15:22
Laneyif it's an XI2 problem, is that a mouse vs touchpad thing?15:23

cyphermoxjbicha: I'm sure you know already, but I think your gnome-shell is borken.22:12
jbichacyphermox: mine isn't but I've heard reports that things broke for some people with 3.23.9122:14
jbichawhat graphics hardware do you have?22:14
jbichaand weren't you using gnome-shell because Unity was broken?22:14
cyphermoxRadeon HD 7950/895022:15
cyphermoxalso, http://www.ur1.ca/qmb1b22:16
jbichathere's bug 1669374 and https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=235434922:16
ubot5bug 1669374 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Gnome-shell v. 3.23.91 - blackscreen - Zesty" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/166937422:16
jbichabut I think those reports are a bit jumbled, it would help if people would file new bugs at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-shell22:17
jbichaif enough people file bugs, maybe the mutter/gnome-shell would not do whatever refactoring they did after the 3.23.90 Freeze22:17
cyphermoxright22:18
cyphermoxI'm not starting it via gdm though, gdm was failing to start, so lightdm is what starts gnome-shell right now22:18
jbichabecause 3.23.90 worked for you, right? and did it break with mutter 3.23.91?22:19
cyphermoxdowngrading gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common fixes it22:19
cyphermoxah, is there new mutter too?22:19
jbichadid gdm work for you before mutter 3.23.91?22:19
cyphermoxprobably did, yeah22:19
jbichamutter 3.23.91 landed in zesty about March 122:20
jbichabut you're saying that gnome-shell 3.23.91 made things even worse?22:20
cyphermoxyep22:20
jbichayou could also complain in #gnome-shell on irc.gnome.org22:21
cyphermoxlet me scramble things up a bit more, I'll upgrade shell again, but downgrade mutter.22:21
jbichayou can't upgrade shell without mutter because mutter's api isn't exactly stable :|22:21
jbichashell depends on NewStuff from mutter 3.23.9122:21
cyphermoxof course.22:22
jbichaI don't experience the bug and I don't have graphics experience so I'm no help in getting this fixed22:23
jbichacyphermox: I'm complaining in #gnome-shell now, but if you'd file a bug that would help22:33
jbichayours is the first I've heard of radeon being affected22:34
TheMusocyphermox: Good on ya for supporting AMD. :)22:52
cyphermoxhaha22:52
cyphermoxTheMuso: this was just some card I could mine bitcoins with some time ago, and that plays games nicely.22:52
cyphermoxa friend of mine wanted to check that out (bitcoins) and I was curious too22:53
TheMusoFair enough. I'm buing AMD cards for desktop systems from now on because AMD are actually caring mroe than NVIDIA are about having free software drivers.22:53
TheMusoAnd thats important to me.22:53
cyphermoxI just use whatever hardware I can find that does the job22:53
TheMusoFair enough.22:53
cyphermoxbut yeah, AMD tends to have nice drivers in general, if you don't care about freeness too much.22:53
* TheMuso is looking forward to more notebooks with AMD GPU in the next year or so now that AMD are back in the CPU game.22:53
cyphermoxaye22:53
cyphermoxTheMuso: incidently, it's been a while since we'd been at a similar event :)22:54
TheMusocyphermox: Indeed.22:58
