[00:00] <greyback> hamax: note, I very much doubt we'll accept a patch for this. Design wouldn't like it
[00:00] <greyback> hamax: no prob :)
[00:00] <greyback> just ping me if you see me
[00:00] <hamax> greyback: oh, it just for my use case
[00:00] <greyback> hamax: yep grand, just thought I should mention it ;)
[00:01] <hamax> but I know some people that would want it in the options :P
[00:01] <greyback> lol why did I see that coming :D
[00:01] <hamax> hehe
[00:01] <greyback> ok I'm gonna pass out. Night all

[13:55] <jo-erlend> there's no session menu in the 12.04 lightdm greeter. How do I switch to another session? I'd like to test Unity 2D.
[13:59] <mhall119> jo-erlend: it's not where it was in 11.10?
[13:59] <jo-erlend> mhall119, it isn't at all.
[14:00] <mhall119> jo-erlend: ask in #ubuntu-unity
[14:00] <mhall119> we're phasing out this channel in favor of that one
[14:01] <jo-erlend> yes, I noticed that and did.
[14:02] <mhall119> cool

[18:50] <hamax> does anyone know where is ShowAllWorkspaces defined?
[18:50] <hamax> where is the code that generates this view
[18:55] <mhall119> hamax: please join #ubuntu-unity and ask there instead
[19:04] <hamax> mhall119: thanks
[19:12] <mhall119> tedg: how does an application author give "hints" to the HUD?
[19:12] <mhall119> also, please join #ubuntu-unity
[19:13] <tedg> mhall119, It's just a xml file that is put in /usr/share
[19:14] <tedg> mhall119, I think we might need to set up a pkgconfig rule or something for them.
[19:14] <tedg> mhall119, Though I haven't thought that far through it yet :-)
=== m_conley_away is now known as m_conley
[19:30] <mhall119> tedg: I'm going to be working on a wiki page for HUD, can I include some info about that?
[19:31] <mhall119> I'll also be talking about it during ubuntu developer week next week
[19:33] <tedg> mhall119, Woot!
[19:33] <tedg> mhall119, So the best description (for normal people) that I have is in my blog post.
[19:33] <tedg> mhall119, You're ofcourse welcome to steal all of that.
[19:33] <tedg> mhall119, I think that we shoudl probably document a little more clearly what the parts are.
[19:34] <tedg> mhall119, I'm curious if we shouldn't make a script or a tool or something ot make the packaging/releasing of the files easier on developers
[19:34] <tedg> mhall119, I'm not sure what that'd look like though :-/
[19:35] <mhall119> tedg: it's definitely something we can talk to quickly devs about adding to their templates
[19:36] <mhall119> or makig a new debhelper script for it
[19:36] <tedg> mhall119, Oh, another thing that isn't documented anywhere you should know :-)  There's a "hud-verify-app-info" tool that will verify the files.
[19:45] <mhall119> is hud-cli something used by HUD devs/testers, or also for app developers
[19:50] <tedg> mhall119, devs/testers
[19:53] <mhall119> tedg: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD if you could fill in sections
[19:57] <mhall119> tedg: #ayatana is going to be shut down and redirected to #ubuntu-unity in the next day or two
[19:57] <mhall119> we're trying to move all conversation to that channel
[19:57] <tedg> :-/
[21:27] <bil21al> hey unity people a bug present i have installed the unity hud but i am not be able to report the bug it sayd  remove the third party  pakages.what i do ?
[21:58] <bernie> why not Super + cursor to switch virtual screens?
[21:59] <bernie> ctrl + alt is not used for much else in unity, it seems inconsistent
[22:01] <mhall119> bernie: probably for consistency with past versions of Ubuntu
=== m_conley is now known as m_conley_away
[22:08] <bernie> mhall119: i guess compiz doesn't support setting two hotkeys for the same action :-/
[22:09] <mhall119> I don't think anything supports that
[22:10] <mhall119> oh wait, I have it backwards
[22:10] <mhall119> but still, Idon't think anything supports that
[22:10] <mhall119> gnome2 didn't, IIRC
[22:31] <bernie> mhall119: hey, would it be possible to make the workspace switcher icon go away if the expo plugin is not enabled in compiz?
[22:31] <bernie> on my desktop, it's just a dead icon that seems broken...
[22:31] <mhall119> bernie: I don't know, ask in #ubuntu-unity, that's where all the dicussion happens these days
[22:32] <bernie> mhall119: thanks
[22:32] <mhall119> np

[23:55] <bschaefer> heard you had a branch out for TextEntry
[23:55] <bschaefer> hows getting the imcontext working in TextEntry?
[23:57] <jaytaoko> bschaefer: yes, I the code with an updated TextEntry and the imput method code. But I haven't been able to test the input method yet
[23:57] <jaytaoko> bschaefer: would you like to have a look?
[23:58] <bschaefer> jaytaoko, I would love to do that. As im working on another ibus bug and your code has the potential of removing this bug!
[23:59] <jaytaoko> bschaefer: ok, so let me prepare a branch and I will send it your way. thanks!
[23:59] <bschaefer> jaytaoko, did you have to use the IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE env var?
[23:59] <bschaefer> jaytaoko, and sweet!
