15:33 <seb128> hey
15:33 <willcooke> I have another meeting in 30 mins, so if we don't get done in time I'll hand over to seb128
15:33 <willcooke> but let's get started
15:33 <willcooke> #topic andyrock
15:34 <andyrock> * reviews
15:34 <andyrock> * i've been working on the lockscreen suspend bug. I rewrote our inhibition logic but I've some bad news
15:35 * desrt raises an eyebrow at "rewrote inhibit logic"
15:35 <andyrock> inside unity :D
15:35 * desrt 's eyebrow falls back down
15:35 <seb128> lol
15:36 <andyrock> basically the problem is that unity/compiz fails to properly "lock" the screen because the screen is turned off
15:36 <andyrock> so all the frames are kind of trashed
15:36 <andyrock> and drawn only when the screen is turned on again on resume
15:36 <Laney> don't you install a suspend inhibitor?
15:36 <andyrock> yeah
15:36 <seb128> can't the indicator do the locking before calling the switching or suspend?
15:36 <andyrock> we do that
15:36 <andyrock> but compiz fails to draw it
15:37 <andyrock> because the screen is off
15:37 <andyrock> so the screen is locked but not drawn
15:37 <seb128> why is the screen off?
15:37 <andyrock> and this happens just on lid off because of this
15:37 <seb128> oh ok
15:38 <andyrock> if you suspend with a menu it's ok
15:38 <andyrock> I'm trying to figure our a way to workaround this
15:38 <seb128> k
15:38 <andyrock> *out
15:39 <andyrock> g-s do not fail to do so because it does not use gtk?
15:39 <andyrock> *opengl
15:39 <andyrock> sorry
15:39 <andyrock> i'll keep working on it, at least I know what to fix now
15:40 <andyrock> <\andy>
15:40 <willcooke> thanks andyrock
15:40 <willcooke> Do you need anyone to help you?
15:40 <seb128> why is opengl making a difference there?
15:41 <seb128> willcooke, maybe it would be good to get input from somebody knowing the rendering stack enough to have a clue what's going on
15:41 <seb128> kgunn's team?
15:41 <seb128> or maybe desrt knows offhand what could be wrong?
15:41 <desrt> i would have thought it was easy but the whole "can't draw when the screen is already off" thing is a bit annoying
15:42 <willcooke> can we add a "simple" force option to compiz?
15:42 <desrt> well, i guess it's rather because something at the system level (or maybe even firmware) is killing the screen content in response to lid-close before we have a chance to intercept it
15:42 <seb128> how are other screensavers handling that?
15:43 <desrt> "poorly"
15:43 <seb128> :-/
15:43 <desrt> i still see gnome-shell having similar problems too
15:44 <seb128> k
15:44 <hikiko> maybe xfce?
15:44 <seb128> "fun"
15:44 <willcooke> oki, andyrock & desrt - can you guys have a chat
15:44 <seb128> it means it might not be fixable with xorg...
15:44 <willcooke> lets see if we can find a work around
15:44 <desrt> i am indeed inclined to blame the graphics stack based on what andyrock just said
15:45 <desrt> but i never looked into this myself
15:45 <andyrock> i can propose an ungly workaround
15:45 <seb128> let's discuss after the meeting
15:45 <willcooke> th
15:45 <willcooke> x
15:45 <andyrock> basically we give the control back to lightdm/unity-greeter
15:45 <Trevinho> I'm also wondering whether this can happen in all the graphic stacks...
15:45 <andyrock> but the session is not going to be active on resume
15:46 <willcooke> let's discuss later
15:46 <willcooke> thanks chaps
15:46 <andyrock> yup

15:49 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:49 <hikiko> hi
15:49 <hikiko> last week:
15:49 <hikiko> * wrote shadows for windows that have alpha and don't provide any shape information (it works with most windows but it can't be merged before I fix the corner cases)
15:49 <hikiko> * fixed the black dots (but it seems that we can't merge it either: there was another mp for that bug that was rejected before mine because the change affects other plugins, so I plan to push a relevant change after the ezoom and then merge it (since we can temporary hide the problem with marco's trick).
15:49 <hikiko> this week:
15:49 <hikiko> * I stopped the shadows/gtk related work and went back to the ezoom development: I am trying to fix a blocking bug I have nux-side + multimonitor issues to move on.
15:50 <hikiko> eof
15:50 <willcooke> thanks hikiko

15:54 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:54 <willcooke> * Filed MIR for valadoc as is a build dep of a11y-profile-manager that I missed... Some issues need resolving there, so will look into. I'm considering dropping the dep and shipping docs with my tarballs as a work-around.
15:54 <willcooke> * Started digging into why some indicator menu items, particularly those with icons, are not being spoken by Orca. Seems its something within the GTK GMenuModel code, need to see if I can reproduce with newer gtk first.
