ian_brasillool, you around?18:16
loolian_brasil: Yes but busy right now -- in one hour?18:16
ian_brasilok 18:16
mac_vplars: could you add a screenshot for Bug #43546521:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 435465 in humanity-icon-theme "Sound & Video icon in UNR is blurry" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43546521:11
mac_vplars: also, could you check if the theme has a /usr/share/icons/humanity/categories/64/applications-multimedia.svg icon ? i believe the problem has been fixed in the revs since the last UNR snapshot21:13
plarsmac_v: sure, give me a sec21:14
plarsmac_v: I just updated this system this morning, but it looks like there's already an update in the queue for humanity-icon-theme, let me check that first21:18
plarsmac_v: before update at least, that file does not exist21:18
mac_vyeah ,  that has been fixed , we added the 64px icons specifically for UNR 21:23
plarsmac_v: well, the file is there now, but it still looks blurry21:25
plarsmac_v: will attach a screenshot, sec21:25
mac_vplars: hm.. ok thanks... did you logout and re-login? or restarted panel? panel icons do not take effect until restarted21:26
plarsmac_v: I even rebooted21:27
mac_voh... ok.. will have a look into it21:27
mac_vplars: also... what is the version of the latest update? 21:28
plarsmac_v: 0.3~20090923+r276-0ubuntu121:30
loolplars, mac_v: I just pushed 0.3.121:31
mac_vplars: hmm.. ok.. i'll see what the problem is21:32
plarslool: oh yeah? well I just updated so you weren't fast enough buddy! :)21:32
lool:-)21:33
plarshasn't shown up yet21:33
loolian_brasil: Sorry forgot to ping you21:33
loolian_brasil: Still around?21:33
plarsi'll pull again later and see21:33
ian_brasillool, hey21:33
loolhey21:33
ian_brasilnot sure rbelem is around21:34
mac_vlool: do you have an idea what size icons are used in the main panel?21:34
loolian_brasil: let's just chat about what you wanted to bringup yesterday; he can catchup later or we can one-to-one any three of us21:34
ian_brasilcool...so we have made a plan for the MID Remix @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/UbuntuMIDRemix21:35
mac_vmain panel menu*21:35
ian_brasilbasically update the packages, add notify-osd, make a gtkrc21:35
ian_brasilupdate ubuntu-cdimage and the seeds21:35
loolmac_v: left categories?21:35
mac_vyeah21:35
loolmac_v: it might be 44 looking at the code, but not sure21:36
ian_brasilwe are looking for the upstream source a.t.m but should have this done in about a week21:36
loolian_brasil: Ok; concerning the name, MID versus MID remix21:36
loolian_brasil: You want to use remix?21:36
loolian_brasil: We're using mid in cdimage and on the weatherreport and we have a mid seed21:37
ian_brasilif it is possible then yes21:37
mac_vlool: ok.. thanks , ,but 44 is a weirdly odd size... or is it 48?21:37
loolDo these places need to be updated or is it ok if you use the technical name mid for hosting?21:37
ian_brasili think rbelem wanted to update the seeds but i see no problem with the name MID21:38
loolmac_v: looking at netbook-launcher/nl-sidebar-item.c nl_sidebar_item_new(), it does   ctk_image_set_size (image, 44); ctk_image_set_from_pixbuf (image, icon);21:39
ian_brasilat least for hosting..the idea is to get a release out of the door for Karmic and then think a bit more for karmic +121:39
loolmac_v: ping UNR upstream folks to confirm or check a screenshot?21:39
loolian_brasil: So it's going to be really hard for karmic21:39
mac_vok... 21:39
loolian_brasil: The release team might have issues with an image which wasn't in any alpha21:39
ian_brasilif we take @1 week for package updates and @1 week for the rest that gives 2 weeks leeway21:39
loolian_brasil: But we can try21:39
loolian_brasil: Keep in mind that it's the time of the cycle where we have the least amount of extra bandwidth for unplanned stuff21:40
loolWe're getting dumped unplanned stuff every day on us, so it's though to make time21:40
loolian_brasil: Anyway, let's try21:40
ian_brasillool, ok..then we should try to do everything which will help21:40
loolian_brasil: So we need to transform your plan in a finer grained list of items21:41
loolian_brasil: And also look at assignee21:41
ian_brasillike naming and so on..the idea is not to bother you with anything apart from pinging when we upload and asking quaestions here21:41
loolian_brasil: So the way I see it, you'll need FFEs for a bunch of hildon-ish packages21:41
* rbelem here21:41
ian_brasillool, yes exactly this21:42
loolian_brasil: On https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/UbuntuMIDRemix could you please update packages to only list source packages, not binary packages?  that reads more clearly and avoids repetition21:42
ian_brasillool, yes of course21:42
loolian_brasil: So once we have a clearly outlined plan (should be clear after this discussion, just need to reflect it in the wiki page), I think we should talk to release team about it21:43
loolPointing out the plan, explaining that it's mostly universe stuff, and underlining that we're trying to make it but it's not blocking the karmic release21:44
loolian_brasil: So what type of image do you want to release?21:44
loolor build21:45
loolAt this point of the cycle, all uploads are soon going to be reviewed and manually approved21:45
lool(It might be that the release team says it's too late for the changes)21:45
ian_brasilOk..we would like to build a .img21:46
ian_brasilwe will make a PPA and upload to that21:46
loolOne thing I also expect they might raise is the fact that if you dont make it to beta they dont want of an image in final21:46
loolOk so if you shoot for an universe + PPA image it's a bit more work to setup but you're free to do more changes in PPA21:47
loolThat might be more reasonnable given the timelin21:47
loole21:47
ian_brasillool, that is reasonable question from the release team21:47
loolian_brasil: So .img is what we used to do for MID and UNR21:48
loolbut we moved to ISO21:48
loolreason is that it's easier to manipulate ISOs and we have a tool to convert to .img but not the other way around21:48
ian_brasillool, ok so then it makes more sense to do an .ISO21:48
loolOk21:48
loolI take it you want a live image?21:49
ian_brasilfor this release we will build image with packages already in repository21:49
ian_brasilfor the next everything can be updated21:49
ian_brasilyes a live image21:49
loolSo I checked where the mid seed wa21:50
loolwas21:50
loolIt's in bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/21:50
loolmobile.karmic21:50
loolWhich means you can't easily push to it21:50
loolIs one of you MOTU?21:51
ian_brasilrbelem, has been playing around with the seeds quite a lot21:51
ian_brasilno i am not21:51
loolSo it will make it hard to work on the packages in Ubuntu and on the seeds; we need to use a special ownership then21:52
loolI'm checking what xubuntu does21:52
* rbelem back again21:52
ian_brasilwe  have a local mirror set up and are building cd images locally 21:52
loolThey use a team and invited ubuntu-core-dev to it21:52
ian_brasilcool..so we can do the same thing21:53
loolSo I'm not sure reusing ~ubuntu-mobile is a good idea21:53
loolIt has many members and is quite convoluted into many meaning21:53
lools21:54
loolPerhaps ~ubuntu-mid?21:54
ian_brasillool, ok..i will update the wiki page21:54
loolI have to tell you that I personally find the "MID" name not ideal because it denotes a device type; so if you ever want to target more than that or something slightly different it looks weird21:54
loolFor instance the N900 could be considered a MID or a phone21:55
mac_vplars: lol... ! thats not humanity ;)21:55
loolAnother note: PPA will restrict you to i386/amd64/lpia21:55
ian_brasillool,nokia will love you for saying that21:55
mac_vplars: the was one of the problems with Human i had mention to lool about21:55
loolYou want i386 or armel too?21:55
ian_brasillool, let me talk with rbelem about that21:56
loolOk21:56
loolI mean I wouldn't mind much more if you'd come up with "Foobar" as a project name; we can currently reuse some bits but the history isn't too interesting21:57
ian_brasili gotta run now..will ping you later..rbelem you have questions?21:57
loolThe last thing I wanted to tell you guys about is livecd-rootfs21:57
loolYou want to use that to output a squashfs which contains your rootfs21:57
loolThat should work with your seed21:57
rbelemlool, i will read the log and probably will have some questions21:57
rbelemops21:57
rbelemian_brasil, 21:57
loolYou can setup team + ppa + seed + meta + livecd-rootfs without me I think21:58
loolrbelem: ok21:58
loolIt's late for me too but I'm around a little longer21:58
rbelemlool, n900 ia a phone and mid21:58
rbelem*is21:58
loolrbelem: Yes, so MID in the name of the image is a bit restrictive perhaps?21:58
rbelemlool, thats true21:59
rbelemlool, i do not like very much Mer, because it sounds another thing in portuguese21:59
rbelemthe name22:00
rbelemMer22:00
rbelem:-)22:00
loolI understand22:00
loolSo it's something you cant easily change later22:00
rbelemlool, hum... i can change later22:01
rbelemlool, but i think it is better a better name22:02
plarsmac_v: ah, ok22:03
loolrbelem: EPARSE22:03
rbelemlool, eparse?22:03
rbelemwhat it means?22:03
loolrbelem: That I couldn't understand what you wrote22:03
loolCouldn't parse it22:03
rbelemah!22:04
rbelem:-D22:04
loolI dont think it's easy to change a project's name no22:05
rbelemlool, i mean... i will look for another name. if i wont find a good one, we will use ubuntu-mer-remix22:05
rbelemah! ok22:06
loolWell I dont want to force you guys; you can use MID if you like; I find it's going to cause confusion on the short and long term but it's your project   :-)22:06
rbelemit is better to avoid this confusion. i will look for another name until tomorrow. 22:08
rbelemlool, what do you think about our small plan that is in the wiki - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/UbuntuMIDRemix22:09
loolrbelem: I think it's what I commented on with ian_brasil earlier22:10
rbelemlool, <lool> You want i386 or armel too? A: i386, lpia and armel22:16
loolrbelem: Ok; it's not currently possible to get armel in PPAs by default22:17
rbelemlool, <lool> You can setup team + ppa + seed + meta + livecd-rootfs without me I think    A: yep :-)22:18
rbelemlool, ok... then for now i386 and lpia for ppa22:18
rbelemlool, and i can build on my machine armel packages and images22:19
loolrbelem: BTW if it's built from PPA, you need to name the image "Remix"22:19
loolLike Ubuntu Foobar Remix22:19
loolbecause it's not built from the official ubuntu archive22:19
loolBut you can use Ubuntu Foobar in all technical names22:19
loole.g. the team and seed can be named ubuntu-foobar22:20
rbelemlool, no problem :-)22:20
rbelemlool, i guess i dont have more questions, but if you have more recommendations... :-)22:22
rbelemlool, i really want to be a motu too 22:23
loolThat might be a way towards MOTU22:24
rbelemlool, i tried some years ago, but i spoke english even worse, and was too young22:24
rbelemcool!22:24
rbelemlool, thanks for you attention :-) tomorrow i will have some of your recommendations ready22:26
