why use.remove?

how to?

what does print launcherfav give?

it prints the array

$ python show-desktop.py
['application://ubiquity-gtkui.desktop', 'application://nautilus-home.desktop', 'application://firefox.desktop', 'application://libreoffice-writer.desktop', 'application://libreoffice-calc.desktop', 'application://libreoffice-impress.desktop', 'application://ubuntu-software-center.desktop', 'application://ubuntuone-installer.desktop', 'application://ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop', 'application://UbuntuOneMusiconeubuntucom.desktop', 'application://gnome-control-center.desktop', 'unity://running-apps', 'unity://expo-icon', 'unity://devices']

be back soon.

6:08 AM

ok cya

6:24 AM

try gsettings.set_strv('favorites',[])

how do i add to the existing list?

blame GVariant.

looks complicated. lemme see.

ok thanks

You actually make a GVariantBuilder object and then add values to it.

o.O

6:28 AM

or use get_strv to get an ordinary String array which can be manipulated and converted back.

but then comparision will be a pain.

shrug

we just want to test resetting, right?

then clear as I said, and then reset.

easiest hack.

not resetting but adding show desktop.

another small hack

good.

use get_strv() to get a array.

shiny.

6:34 AM

then lets see if you can .append('whatever') to it.

ok will do

if ok, use set_strv(key,array) to write back.

success

:) congrats.

$ cat show-desktop.py
#!/usr/bin/python

from gi.repository import Gio

gsettings=Gio.Settings("com.canonical.Unity.Launcher")
launcherfav=gsettings.get_strv('favorites')

if launcherfav.count("unity://desktop-icon") == 1:
    launcherfav.remove("unity://desktop-icon")
    gsettings.set_strv('favorites',launcherfav)
else:
    launcherfav.append("unity://desktop-icon")
    gsettings.set_strv('favorites',launcherfav)

@mahesh --^

now your turn to do whatever you want to do

now we need to write a gschema.xml

6:59 AM

why do we need a schema?

well, it has to go to gsettings somewhere right?

currently, there is no option to do that from dconf-editor etc when it used to.

okay.

fire a python shell, import Gio, get launcherfav and ping me

done

try launcherfav.has('unity://desktop-icon')

error or it says true?

error

the python script works

the problem is writing a gschema for it

7:04 AM

and the error is?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'has'

@jokerdino I know. I want to set up switches instead of a script that silently toggles.

okay then

best practice: let the default be to tell user what to do, instead of silently doing things.

good idea o.O

@Mahesh i am going with count to check if it is there alrady

if 1, then yes. if 0, then no

7:09 AM

yup, but there has to be a better way.

docs.python.org/tutorial/datastructures.html

wait...

docs.python.org/library/array.html

'unity://desktop-icon' in launcherfav

I must be dumb. :/

o.O

7:14 AM

its a list, basically.

yes

and thats the easiest way of looking if we have something in a list

1 min ago, by Mahesh

'unity://desktop-icon' in launcherfav

try that.

try what?

quoted one.

it should return true

am i not using it?

7:15 AM

or false

oh

thats the syntax.

try with what?

i am not sure what i should do

> launcherfav.has('unity://desktop-icon')

fail

python -c 'from gi.repository import Gio;launcherfav=Gio.Settings("com.canonical.Unity.Launcher").get_strv("favorites"‌); print "unity://desktop-icon" in launcherfav;

pyton? lol

7:20 AM

or do sudo ln -s /usr/bin/pyton /usr/bin/python

you have an open quote somewhere

:P

do a closequote at the end.

forgot that.

invalid syntax

after end of favorites

aaaarrrrggggh

python shell.

import goddamn Gio

hehe

7:22 AM

get the launcher fav.

and then,

8 mins ago, by Mahesh

'unity://desktop-icon' in launcherfav

False

because there isn't any

thanks. :D

add a not if you are concerned.

not?

'unity://desktop-icon' not in launcherfav

True

7:24 AM

yup that.

what next?

7:44 AM

figure out where to add things to be able to use this from dconf

didn't i say gschema.xml in unity code?

@mahesh, i recall there was never such option in dconf.

but there was in compizconfigSM

we can take over tweak from ubuntu and put it there ;p

so, we don't need to put it here. just add it to ccsm or ubuntu tweak and what not

ok.

sexied up the show desktop.

pushing in a minute.

@jokerdino done.

pull and check it.

8:01 AM

ok pulling

and also advertise like hell if it works. :P

try all kinds of fancy tests.

its rock solid.

it adds on the top

or it should be, atleast.

instead of last

?

oh.

8:02 AM

it should be appended to the list

I am appending it.

weird

ok works fine

?

no idea.

i moved manually to last and then switching works fine

ok win

try fancy stuff.

default should be printing a help.

Q: How to add a "Show desktop" icon to the launcher?

8:04 AM

20

I recently upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, and there is no show desktop in the launcher. I know I can use Ctrl+Super+D, but is there a way to get it in the launcher? Edit: I just installed the "show desktop" icon on the launcher with MyUnity (see below) and it worked fine. It did not install the ...

-h and --help should work

yeah, all are fine

and any other fancy option should throw an error.

yes

you cant give --enable and --disable at the same time.

8:05 AM

got it

-e or -d should also work.

now, thats what you call rock solid.

that's what i am using

--enable and --disable also work.

ok solid then

yeah, tested

cool.

8:07 AM

now how to debug the tests?

I'll be back after lunch

For 12.10 Unity patch team at work! We have created a script that lets you enable/disable show-desktop icon. If you dont want to install a separate tool, grab our script and run it. It is hosted on bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/jpmahesh/unity-reset Or if you are lazy and prefer not to op...

:P

so, can you now debug the tests and make it good enough for it to be merged to unity?

8:35 AM

After we do that

fork ubuntu-tweak and add that to it

@amith, once we get the unity reset to unity, we write a new config app.

Unity Patcher X :P

8:48 AM

;p

We need to make a book too :P

take it easy

So, what's wrong with the tests?

it fails for me

message?

8:50 AM

test fail

we need people on 12.10 to test

Ok, will do

also, we need to update the unity.cmake

We have @jrg

Why?

oh right

because @mahesh wrote some weird things in untiyreset ;p

and i added new things as well

okie

lolwut

the terminal is broken?

8:52 AM

wut?

@jokerdino ?

it wasn't what it is in unity.cmake. that's what i am saying

you can't drop class in the current form, can you?

we actually can, but I prefer a rewrite of unity.cmake

good luck with that

optionparser thats used there is deprecated in python 2.7

i'll finish my lunch and come back

9:02 AM

Ok, wat

same reaction

i guess he will handle the tests and the unity.cmake

what shall we do then?

why dont you buggers get to 12.10?

watch?

Just send me the cd

9:15 AM

@amith do me a favour

check what options you have in ccsm > unity plugin > experimental > mounts

where the hell did you go now @AmithKK?

ccsm wont start fast

@jokerdino I don't have a mounts

it is not mounts but sometihng like that

i guess it is devices

Only mounted

ok that.

do you see a dropdown?

yes

Never

9:22 AM

what options?

Only Mounted

Always

only 3?

@amith -^

yeah

in 12.10, we have a regression.

we don't have any such options ;D

so, by default, it always shows the mounts.

with the option to blacklist it from launcher, in which case, it becomes as never.

so, we should work on adding the third one? :D

@amith, pong

stop your sonic boom nonsense RIGHT NOW

@jokerdino Maybe :P

ttyl

9:34 AM
