=== Jeruvy is now known as speedy
[11:18] <jibel> seb128, after the bug about the thumbnail in the "displays" applet of g-c-c yesterday, you'll like bug 800585 today ;-)
[11:18] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 800585 in gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) "unlock screen is gnome-shell one (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/800585
[11:19] <seb128> jibel, that one is a "known issue" ;-) I talked to design about it already and it's on their list
[11:19] <seb128> they said we should basically use the same screen that the login screen once lightdm got the design for it
=== augustinT is now known as autra
[11:58] <brendand> unless this is a duplicate i think this is perhaps a medium priority bug
[11:58] <brendand> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/800599
[11:58] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 800599 in unity-2d (Ubuntu) "Visual artifacts/problems with OpenGL apps and Unity-2D (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[11:59] <brendand> it's quite bad impact but effects an odd configuration (systems that can run unity 3d but user chooses to run 2d)
=== zyga-food is now known as zyga
[15:39] <brendand_> jibel - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/800613 doesn't just happen with the Unity application search
[15:39] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 800613 in software-center (Ubuntu) ""Search applications" returns non existent applications (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[15:39] <brendand_> jibel - you can also search in software-center and 'find' those applications
[15:39] <jibel> brendand, I agree it is not unity but I don't know what is the component used by the search bar of unity
[15:39] <jibel> may be xapian index
[15:41] <jibel> brendand, in any case it is not software-center either. It just displays what is indexed, that why I think the problem is with the indexer
[15:44] <jibel> mvo, do you know what's the common component in bug 799713 and bug 800613 ? apt-xapian-index ? 799713 is with software-center and 800613 with unity search.
[15:44] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 799713 in software-center (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 1 other project) ""Installed Software" lists all available packages (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/799713
[15:44] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 800613 in software-center (Ubuntu) ""Search applications" returns non existent applications (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/800613
[16:02] <mvo> jibel: I have a look, in a meeting now (but I guess its actuall app-install-data if its oneiric, its a bit stale currently)
[16:03] <brendand_> jibel - true, true. i also didn't know which package to put exactly
[16:09] <jibel> mvo, aha, you're right, I always forget about this package. I found the corresponding desktop files.
[16:09] <jibel> mvo, Thanks!
[16:10] <mvo> jibel: I will do a update today I think
[16:10] <jibel> brendand_, that's actually 2 bugs then. 1. app-install-data is not up to date but that's minor. 2. software-center should not list theses files as 'installed'
[16:11] <jibel> mvo, no hurry, there are still a few days to the release :-)
=== zyga is now known as zyga-food
[17:12] <brendand> really interesting bug here
[17:12] <brendand> wondering if anyone's seen it before
[17:12] <brendand> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/772007
[17:12] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 772007 in unity (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "URL from Thunderbird doesn't give browser focus when clicked if browser window isn't minimised (affects: 2) (heat: 10)" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[17:13] <brendand> might even be a duplicate
[17:13] <brendand> same thing happens in terminal
[17:13] <brendand> if you do 'firefox index.html' for example
[17:19] <charlie-tca> It doesn't know that should be a link, without http:// in front
[17:22] <brendand> charlie-tca : i see what you mean. this is a local file, but i'll try with a link and see if it's the same
[17:22] <charlie-tca> local file should still have a designator, like file://
[17:23] <brendand> charlie - doesn't really make a difference to the bug
[17:23] <charlie-tca> There isn't anything saying that is more than just words without something in front
[17:23] <brendand> charlie-tca - ^
[17:23] <charlie-tca> I see.
[17:23] <charlie-tca> They work here, using xfce4-terminal
[17:24] <brendand> charlie-tca - they work as in, if you call firefox with a link in xfce4-terminal then it focuses to firefox?
[17:24] <charlie-tca> If it is a full url, yes
[17:24] <charlie-tca> https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[17:25] <charlie-tca> will open fine in firefox for me
[17:25] <charlie-tca> from the terminal
[17:25] <brendand> charlie-tca : i'll have to check that out.
[17:25] <charlie-tca> I just tried it.
[17:26] * charlie-tca is using weechat, too, so it would make this hell if they failed

[21:31] <ronsonol> May I consult here for help on terminology describing a bug's behavior?
[21:33] <Ampelbein> ronsonol: maybe. just ask ;-)
[21:37] <ronsonol> The bug is not with gimp, but similar interface, more commonly installed, I'll use it for reference to convey the problem.
[21:38] <ronsonol> There's a guide at the top of the image window with an arrow that follows as the cursor position changes.
[21:40] <ronsonol> On the bugged program, the arrow stays drawn wherever it's moved along the guide, thus eventually obliterating the guide.
[21:41] <ronsonol> I don't know if I've described that well, but if someone can grok what I'm saying, perhaps they can repeat it to me intelligibly.
[21:43] <charlie-tca> sounds like mouse trails?
[21:44] <charlie-tca> artifacts left from moving the mouse?
[21:44] <ronsonol> Artifacts, yes, but not left by the cursor itself.
[21:45] <charlie-tca> so, is this an ubuntu supplied app?
[21:45] <ronsonol> Yes. Sweep. It's got more than one bug.
[21:45] <charlie-tca> what is the application name? Maybe there are bugs against it in launchpad
[21:45] <charlie-tca> If this isn't reported, it should be
[21:46] <ronsonol> It has some bugs reported, but they don't appear to be the ones I experience.
[21:46] <charlie-tca> ubuntu-bug sweep to report it, then.
[21:47] <deuxpi> by the way, once the bug report exists, I can confirm it
[21:48] <ronsonol> I'm on my way to doing a bug report, I'm just here to try to assemble a *good* bug report.
[21:49] <charlie-tca> The best reports are reported with ubuntu-bug, and a good description of what you see
[21:49] <charlie-tca> There is a new version of sweep in oneiric, maybe it got fixed?
[21:52] <ronsonol> I don't think there's been development in the code for two or three years.
[21:53] <ronsonol> Which is a shame, because it's got a couple really cool unique features.
[21:53] <charlie-tca> I know. 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 are the same version, but Oneiric has a bump in the version
[21:54] <charlie-tca> oh, not a developer version bump, an ubuntu bump. Fixed bug 556478
[21:54] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 556478 in schooltool "fckeditor widget does not work (Not Found) in z3c.form views (affects: 2) (dups: 1)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/556478
[21:54] <charlie-tca> does seem to be a might bit slow in development right now
[21:55] <ronsonol> The other bug is more dire. It uses /dev/dsp and doesn't play well with padsp.
[21:57] <ronsonol> So, I'm surprised there are bugs reported that appear like anyone much got it to work.
[21:59] <ronsonol> I've got an amd64 desktop and an eee netbook and it (mis)behaves the same on both.
[22:00] <charlie-tca> As old as the version is, it may be that it worked in older releases better than in new releases
[22:00] <deuxpi> seems like Gtk uses cairo for drawing and this application is still doing its drawing the old ways
[22:00] <charlie-tca> cairo is relatively new, isn't it?
[22:01] <ronsonol> It worked, I think, in maverick.
[22:01] <deuxpi> it's been changed on 2010-08-07
[22:02] <charlie-tca> so, something that has stayed the same since at least, oh, February 2010, would not use it
[22:03] <deuxpi> I'm looking at the differences between GtkRuler and the internal ruler subclass, and it seems that it's one of the major differences
[22:03] <ronsonol> No, I'm wrong about that, it hasn't worked since Lucid.
[22:04] <deuxpi> I may have a patch :)
[22:04] <charlie-tca> attach it to the bug report
[22:22] <ronsonol> Can I attach screenshots on a bug report?
[22:25] <deuxpi> ronsonol: Yes it's possible. Just click "Add attachment" at the bottom of the right side bar.
[22:26] <ronsonol> deuxpi: cool.
