15:41 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:42 <hikiko> just came back from holidays so that's what I did yesterday and today...: finished those tutorials, and I am looking at bug #1485727 I think the problem is that we have gl calls called by a signal handler so we don't know what the opengl context is when thes calls run (+we have different processes at that time)
15:42 <ubot5> bug 1485727 in unity (Ubuntu) "Corrupted unity desktop after resizing vbox/vmware window." [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1485727
15:43 <hikiko> a change of mine revealed this bug but it was necessary I can't revert it
15:43 <hikiko> (that's the bug andyrock mentioned)
15:43 <hikiko> eof
15:43 <willcooke> thanks hikiko

15:47 <larsu> - made a library for looking up city names, becasue city selections on phone and desktop are really bad
15:47 <larsu> (looked through all bugs I could find to see what we need)

15:47 <larsu> - started integrating that into u-c-c, u-s-s is up next
15:47 <larsu> </larsu>
15:47 <seb128> larsu \o/
15:47 <willcooke> thanks larsu
15:47 <seb128> thanks for working on the city selection
15:47 <seb128> that was needed :-)
15:48 <Laney> really bad hurts my feelings :(
15:48 <larsu> :)
15:48 <willcooke> yes, huge usability improvement - thanks
15:48 * Trevinho agrees
15:48 <larsu> Laney: "bad" was the backend you used - not your fault
15:48 <qengho> Is UTC an option? The geographic list bothers me elsewhere.
15:49 <larsu> qengho: elsewhere?
15:49 <larsu> qengho: no, you can only select cities
15:49 <qengho> That Other Phone OS.
15:49 <larsu> ah. take it up with mpt :)
15:49 * larsu thinks we should only accept places in an entry labelled "location"

15:58 <mpt> qengho, I specced that “UTC” should be an unlisted but typeable option for the PC settings, but I never did the same for the phone settings. Maybe I should. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#PC>
15:58 <seb128> mdeslaur, oh, great, thanks
