[00:26] <hajour> till tomorrow all
[01:45] <hajour> charlie-tca,  have you time for pm i am so angry
[12:01] <Pendulum> Riddell: when you tried Orca in Natty were you using Unity?
[12:01] <Pendulum> (on Gnome, I mean)
[12:02] <Riddell> Pendulum: no
[12:04] <Pendulum> hmm... okay
[12:05] <Pendulum> (I"m trying to think if I know anyone who has tested Orca in Natty on non-Unity. I may have to go check that now)
[13:04] <hajour> Pendulum, i dont work now official i promised not to work now you see.but if it is not a to heavy program i would gladly want to help testeing it
[13:04] <hajour> testing
[16:18] <apinheiro> Pendulum, about unity and orca, if you are using at-spi
[16:19] <apinheiro> today I applied the solution to this bug
[16:19] <apinheiro> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/739689
[16:19] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 739689 in unity "[a11y] Launcher a11y support works with at-spi2 but not with at-spi" [Undecided,Fix committed]
[16:19] <apinheiro> so I guess that it is not included in any package
[16:19] <apinheiro> anyway, right now
[16:19] <apinheiro> only the launcher and the panel has a testable orca support
[16:19] <apinheiro> but I would appreciate any feedback
[16:20] <Pendulum> charlie-tca: ^^
[16:20] <charlie-tca> looking at it
[16:20] <Pendulum> apinheiro: thanks for the heads up :)
[16:21] <apinheiro> Pendulum, thanks to take care of it
[16:21] <charlie-tca> I don't see anything to be done there, just one more bug against unity for us
[16:21] <apinheiro> one of the thing we were worried what about testing from other people
[16:21] <charlie-tca> Yes, we need to know what is broken, but that one already says it has a fix
[16:22] <charlie-tca> I think TheMuso has the right idea, forcing a fallback to 2d for accessibility
[16:23] <charlie-tca> apinheiro: where did you get information that natty will use at-spi2?
[16:23] <charlie-tca> I still it using at-spi
[16:23] <charlie-tca> s/still it/still show it
[16:24] <charlie-tca> !info at-spi2 natty
 Package at-spi2 does not exist in natty
[16:25] <apinheiro> charlie-tca, I know
[16:25] <apinheiro> this is the reason I opened that bug
[16:25] <apinheiro> because it was not working properly with at-spi
[16:25] <charlie-tca> If natty will not even have at-spi2, then we need a fix that makes things work without it, right?
[16:25] <apinheiro> that is the one what will be used on natty
[16:25] <apinheiro> charlie-tca, that bug is fixed
[16:25] <apinheiro> what I tried to tell Pendulum
[16:25] <charlie-tca> without at-spi2?
[16:25] <apinheiro> is that without this fix
[16:26] <apinheiro> was not possible to test unity with orca
[16:26] <apinheiro> and this fix was applied today
[16:26] <charlie-tca> I tested it on the 18th and it worked
[16:26] <apinheiro> so I guess that it is not available on any natty package
[16:26] <apinheiro> it worked the interaction with natty?
[16:26] <apinheiro> sorry
[16:26] <apinheiro> it worked the interaction with unity?
[16:26] <apinheiro> or you tested it with other apps?
[16:26] <charlie-tca> yes, I did a screen-reader install and it worked with unity
[16:27] <charlie-tca> I have that install running on another machine, orca works
[16:27] <apinheiro> so orca was speeching out when you interacted with the launcher?
[16:27] <charlie-tca> yes
[16:28] <apinheiro> and with the dash?
[16:28] <charlie-tca> the dash is not accessible at all, that I can tell
[16:28] <apinheiro> yes I know, it is a bug open
[16:28] <apinheiro> but it is weird
[16:28] <apinheiro> until this commit
[16:28] <apinheiro> with at-spi
[16:28] <apinheiro> orca didn't react
[16:28] <apinheiro> with the launcher
[16:29] <apinheiro> anyway, no problem
[16:29] <charlie-tca> So it now works, right?
[16:29] <apinheiro> launcher yes
[16:29] <apinheiro> dash no
[16:29] <charlie-tca> Thus the reason we need to fallback to 2d without the dash for accessibility, right?
[16:30] <Pendulum> I thought it was falling back to gnome-desktop, not 2d Unity
[16:30] <Pendulum> (sorry, to my brain 2d = 2d Unity)
[16:31] <apinheiro> charlie-tca, yes I guess so
[16:31] <charlie-tca> could be my mistake, but I thought 2d meant no dash
[16:32] <Pendulum> charlie-tca: you may be right for Natty
[16:32] <apinheiro> 2d what?
[16:32] <apinheiro> unity-2d?
[16:32] <apinheiro> or the old gnome-desktop ?
[16:32] <charlie-tca> when logging in you have the option to choose classic-gnome desktop session
[16:32] <charlie-tca> That is what we should be falling back to for this
[16:32] <apinheiro> charlie-tca, ok thanks
[16:33] <charlie-tca> It uses compiz, but not unity
[16:33] <apinheiro> just for some effects
[16:33] <charlie-tca> right
[16:33] <apinheiro> but the low layers are still the old gnome desktop
[16:33] <apinheiro> sorry
[16:33] <apinheiro> as Pendulum said, I also confused this 2d
[16:33] <apinheiro> with unity-2d
[16:33] <charlie-tca> but at least then orca and the speech programs should work for us
[16:33] <apinheiro> that afaik, it doesn't have any a11y support at all
[16:33] <charlie-tca> why?
[16:34] <Pendulum> I'm sure unity-2d doesn't have a11y support because it's Qt based
[16:34] <charlie-tca> It should be the old gnome, which did have support
[16:34] <Pendulum> charlie-tca: 2d Unity they were using Qt for
[16:34] <charlie-tca> Oh, then I got the terms confused bad.
[16:34] <charlie-tca> I will use classic-gnome to mean the right session, then.
[16:35] <Pendulum> ta
[16:35] <charlie-tca> sorry
[16:35] <Pendulum> s'ok
[16:35] <Pendulum> the whole thing is confusing
[16:35] <charlie-tca> very
[16:35] <apinheiro> yeah, at first I though that unity-2d was a kind of unity backend
[16:36] <apinheiro> but afaik are totally different
[16:36] <apinheiro> just the same appearance
[16:36] <AlanBell> so new unity 2d is different to Maverick unity?
[16:36] <charlie-tca> yes
[16:36] <charlie-tca> nothing is quite the same as Maverick
[16:36] <apinheiro> AlanBell, there are two different programas
[16:37] <AlanBell> wow, didn't realise that
[16:37] <apinheiro> now there are two unity
[16:37] <AlanBell> so we have three unities in total
[16:37] <apinheiro> unity that uses opengl
[16:37] <apinheiro> and unity-2d that uses qt
[16:37] <AlanBell> maverick, natty 3d and natty 2d
[16:37] <apinheiro> that doesn't require a special hw
[16:37] <apinheiro> well, afaik, maverick unity is "the past"
[16:38] <apinheiro> is being replaced by the new natty unity
[16:38] <charlie-tca> Yes, it certainly is
[16:38] <AlanBell> yup
[16:38] <AlanBell> although it is "the present" on my computer
[16:38] <charlie-tca> And, the new natty unity is the nightmare for us
[16:39] <charlie-tca> apinheiro: I will do a new install of natty today, and try the classic-gnome with orca
[16:42] <apinheiro> ok, but just for your information, my work is about accessibility on unity
[16:42] <apinheiro> but it is clear that if unity thing is not complete, classig-gnome would be required
[16:42] <charlie-tca> heh, as heard in #ubuntu-desktop:
 pitti: launcher is fully a11y. Still need some investigation this week for places though
[16:42]  * Pendulum is very tempted to say "unless you need to use the onscreen keyboard"
[16:42] <charlie-tca> Yeah, that and Orca today, apparently
[16:43] <Pendulum> or is that on the dash that the issue showed up?
[16:43] <charlie-tca> but they are very sure
[16:43] <charlie-tca> dash
[16:43] <charlie-tca> Can't use any onscreen keyboard with dash
[16:43] <Pendulum> also when did blind people become the only people with a11y needs?>
[16:43] <Pendulum> like, seriously!
[16:43] <charlie-tca> heh
[16:44] <Pendulum> (sorry, just saw another comment in same meeting)
[16:44] <charlie-tca> I tried telling them a11y includes Orca, but that went no where
[16:44] <charlie-tca> It's a losing battle now in natty. They will insist it works, as long as they don't need it
[16:45] <Pendulum> you can see my comment I just made
[16:45] <charlie-tca> yeah, I see it
[16:46] <Pendulum> i'm going to poke after the meeting rather than disrupt
[16:46] <charlie-tca> Like the comment I made on a mailing list, accessibility gets one step forward, and loses two steps getting there.
[16:49] <AlanBell> hajour: your yahoo account is sending spam :(
[16:49] <apinheiro> Pendulum, well, as I implementing the atk support for unity, I was just using orca to test that those thing were working
[16:49] <apinheiro> but you are right
[16:49] <apinheiro> ie
[16:49] <apinheiro> someone tested the zoom plugin of compiz with unity?
[16:49] <AlanBell> yes
[16:50] <apinheiro> someone know if they are not "firiendly each other"?
[16:50] <apinheiro> AlanBell, and it works fine the mixture unity+eZoom?
[16:50] <AlanBell> it did work but right now I can't start it for some reason, I am halfway through a dist upgrade at the moment
[16:52] <apinheiro> AlanBell, ok thanks
[16:55] <AlanBell> seems the superkey+mousewheel binding vanished on my machine at least
[16:56] <AlanBell> however I got it working and it zooms the desktop and apps successfully and I can use them whilst zoomed
[16:56] <AlanBell> what it doesn't do is zoom the unity dock
[16:57] <AlanBell> so they are getting friendly but not BFF just yet
[16:57] <AlanBell> you can use the dock whilst zoomed
[16:59] <Pendulum> charlie-tca: do you know if there are any bugs filed yet about the issues with onscreen keyboards in Unity?
[16:59] <AlanBell> and the colour filters don't get applied to the dock
[17:00] <Pendulum> AlanBell: those sound like bugs
[17:01] <AlanBell> possibly
[17:02] <AlanBell> I will retest once this upgrade has finished
[17:02] <Pendulum> *nods*
[17:02] <charlie-tca> yes, I filed one yesterday
[17:03] <AlanBell> ah, I see why they do it like that
[17:03] <charlie-tca> and there is another one about a different issue, I will have to look up
[17:03] <AlanBell> it is going to be a wontfix
[17:03] <AlanBell> the workspace switcher does the expose zoom out to show 6 desktops, you wouldn't want the dock to zoom out with it
[17:04] <AlanBell> so they do the compiz stuff, then afterwards slap the dock on top of it
[17:04] <AlanBell> so it isn't going to get zoomed, or colour filtered, or anything else really
[17:04] <charlie-tca> bug 739812
[17:04] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 739812 in unity "Must use hardware keyboard to perform search for applications in Unity" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/739812
[17:05] <Pendulum> AlanBell: yeah, but that doesn't make it right
[17:05] <cprofitt> hey Pendulum
[17:05] <Pendulum> AlanBell: better to raise the bug, use it for discussion, etc.
[17:05] <Pendulum> hi charlie-tca
[17:06] <Pendulum> bah
[17:06] <Pendulum> cprofitt:
[17:06] <AlanBell> Pendulum: I will
[17:06] <Pendulum> AlanBell: subscribe me to it?
[17:06] <cprofitt> looks like we have some bugs coming in for accessibility, heh?
[17:06] <AlanBell> I will look through the list of plugins to see what other interesting things don't affect the dock
[17:07] <cprofitt> for the global jam is there going to be an easy way to identify the accessibility bugs?
[17:08] <charlie-tca> They are all tagged a11y
[17:08] <cprofitt> nice.
[17:08] <cprofitt> I think I may have a group of students at RIT that will want to work on those specifically
[17:08] <charlie-tca> Great!
[17:08] <cprofitt> can't promise, but that is my expectation
[17:09] <cprofitt> they are NTID students
[17:09] <charlie-tca> I will keep tagging them. I am subscribed to every accessibility package
[17:10] <Pendulum> cprofitt: also, if they'd be willing to do more testing on a11y installs, it's always good :)
[17:11] <charlie-tca> and make sure the applications work, too
[17:11] <Pendulum> yes
[17:15] <AlanBell> hmm
[17:15] <AlanBell> my Natty VM seems to be telling me that it is time to re-test the full installation procedure
[17:17] <charlie-tca> I can't get Unity to work in VBox now, without installing guest additions
[17:18] <charlie-tca> um, that is VBox-OSE, and I haven't tried guest additions
[17:21] <AlanBell> it doesn't
[17:22] <AlanBell> it needs vbox 4 and guest additions
[17:26] <cprofitt> Pendulum: I think they would be.
[17:26] <charlie-tca> it used to work in VBox-OSE too
[17:26] <cprofitt> I want to show them the wiki too...
[17:27] <cprofitt> I hope to get a small group involved at the school... but we will see how it goes.
[17:27] <cprofitt> far too often people say they will show up and then do not.

[18:30] <pleia2> Pendulum: ah, thanks
[18:31] <pleia2> ah yeah, gmail was smart and merged the threads when I read it in my accessibility label
[21:13] <Cheri703> can someone ping me when charlie-tca shows up?
[21:44] <AlanBell> well Natty is totally screwed at the moment if you are running it in virtualbox
