| charlie-tca | micahg, want to give me an endorsement? https://wiki.uibuntu.com/CharlieKravetz/XubuntuProjectLeadNomination | 03:33 |
|---|---|---|
| * micahg seems to be having an issue w/the wiki ATM | 03:35 | |
| micahg | charlie-tca: do I still need to send a mail to the CC? | 03:35 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 03:35 |
| charlie-tca | what? I got ahead of you? | 03:36 |
| micahg | ok | 03:36 |
| * micahg is just running a little behind | 03:38 | |
| charlie-tca | heh, alpha1 is out thursday this week | 03:41 |
| micahg | yep | 03:43 |
| charlie-tca | which reminds me, I gotta get a message out to vinnl for the news bulletin | 03:45 |
| charlie-tca | Good morning | 13:06 |
| charlie-tca | testing is now started for Alpha1. Xubuntu desktop images are ready. | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu images can not be done using VBox now since 3d is not working in it and Unity/compiz requires it. | 16:14 |
| mhall119 | yeah, that's biting me | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | qimo? | 16:17 |
| mhall119 | no, just wanted to play with unity | 16:17 |
| mhall119 | and also to get compiz working on my VM at work | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | oh, yeah. I bought an ATI card for it | 16:17 |
| mhall119 | I'll be starting work on Qimo soon | 16:17 |
| mhall119 | I need to learn how to build an ISO from seeds | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | still can't use VBox, but at least I get a working desktop with Unity | 16:17 |
| mhall119 | I need to try it on my netbook, see if it's fast enough | 16:18 |
| mhall119 | pre-compiz unity wasn't | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | It has improved some with compiz | 16:18 |
| mhall119 | I'm going to make a new bottom panel for Qimo, using Python | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | Neat! | 16:19 |
| mhall119 | found an existing Python dock I can use for reference, and I've already got the XDG menu stuff figured out | 16:19 |
| charlie-tca | Of course, now in Ubuntu w/unity, you can't really get most of the things to work. Basically, you can install it and run what's on the dock | 16:19 |
| mhall119 | that'll remove 50% of my desktop customization | 16:19 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know if they put the panel back, without it you don't have alt+F2 | 16:20 |
| mhall119 | yeah, qimo won't be using Unity or Gnome-Shell | 16:20 |
| mhall119 | it'll be Xfce or what they're calling "2d" Gnome | 16:20 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 16:20 |
| charlie-tca | what a deal, huh? | 16:20 |
| mhall119 | yeah | 16:21 |
| mhall119 | Edubuntu is sticking with "2d" gnome too | 16:21 |
| mhall119 | but the future of that is in question | 16:21 |
| charlie-tca | It is supposed to there for Natty, or did they change that again? | 16:21 |
| mhall119 | no, it'll be there for natty | 16:22 |
| mhall119 | but beyond that, I don't know how long Gnome will support it | 16:22 |
| mhall119 | I assume that installing xubuntu-desktop on a natty-gnome install will give me the same packages/setup as installing from the xubuntu iso would, right? | 16:24 |
| charlie-tca | It should | 16:24 |
| charlie-tca | But it will have a lot of extra stuff from the gnome/ubuntu install | 16:25 |
| mhall119 | cool, cause I'm installing that in VBox now | 16:25 |
| mhall119 | that's fine | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | hm, Xubuntu alternate images failed to build today. Many hash sum mismatch errors in the build log | 16:29 |
| charlie-tca | rebuilding now | 16:31 |
| mhall119 | charlie-tca: know of any good tutorial for me to learn how to build ISOs from seeds? | 16:35 |
| charlie-tca | I don't. Maybe cody-somerville does, though? | 16:35 |
| charlie-tca | cody-somerville, ^ ^ ^ | 16:36 |
| mhall119 | for the past two Qimo releases, I've been manually unpacking Xubuntu ISOs, making my changes, then re-mksquashfs/mkisofs-ing | 16:36 |
| charlie-tca | That seems like the hard way, too | 16:36 |
| mhall119 | yes, but it required the least understanding | 16:36 |
| mhall119 | and at the time, I had more time/energy than understanding | 16:37 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 16:37 |
| mhall119 | I also had a good tutorial on doing it that way | 16:37 |
| mhall119 | but I want to move towards doing things the "right" way | 16:37 |
| mhall119 | Qimo 1 I didn't even have .deb packages | 16:38 |
| mhall119 | so every time I re-built an ISO, I had to remember which programs to add and which to remove, then copy my config files to the right places | 16:38 |
| mhall119 | I like the new Xubuntu wallpaper | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | mr_pouit, you here today? Our alternate images are failing to build | 16:42 |
| charlie-tca | I had them rebuild it, but it failed again. | 16:43 |
| mhall119 | oh hey, I like the new GTK/xfwm theme too | 16:47 |
| ochosi | mhall119: what theme are you talking about, bluebird, greybird or something else? | 16:50 |
| mhall119 | bluebird | 16:50 |
| charlie-tca | mhall119, you did not see it already? | 16:50 |
| mhall119 | can I change the colors on that in a .gtkrc file? | 16:50 |
| mhall119 | charlie-tca: no, first time | 16:50 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is really good | 16:51 |
| ochosi | mhall119: i'm currently reworking it a bit, less blue. that's why the new version is called "greybird". feel free to test it and feed back: http://shimmerproject.org/hg/bluebird-colors | 16:52 |
| mhall119 | how hard would it be to change the blue/gray to pinks? | 16:53 |
| ochosi | in the newer theme it should be rather easy-ish | 16:54 |
| ochosi | depending of course on how pink you'd like it ;) | 16:54 |
| mhall119 | cool, I might use it for Qimo | 16:54 |
| ochosi | what's Quimo? Quimo for kids? | 16:55 |
| mhall119 | Qimo (no 'u'), yes | 16:56 |
| ochosi | ah, right, sry :) | 16:56 |
| ochosi | sure, if you need help with the pink feel free to ping me | 16:57 |
| mhall119 | cool, thanks | 16:57 |
| ochosi | i'm currently a bit busy with work so i won't promise much | 16:57 |
| mhall119 | that's okay, I can find my way around most of a gtkrc file | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | mr_pouit, never mind, according to <cjwatson> will require shell access to antimony. | 16:58 |
| mhall119 | well, I seem to have fu-bar'd my gnome setup already... | 16:58 |
| ochosi | mhall119: the bluest part of the theme is the menubar i guess, and that's a pixmap... | 16:58 |
| mhall119 | okay, I can make a different image for that | 16:59 |
| ochosi | or just use gimp to change the hue ;) | 16:59 |
| mhall119 | what day were xubuntu meetings scheduled for, Tuesday or Thursday? | 18:46 |
| charlie-tca | Thursday | 18:46 |
| charlie-tca | 19:00 UTC | 18:46 |
| mhall119 | dang, I'm gonna miss another one :( | 18:46 |
