knomecharlie-tca, any possibilities fighting spam on identi.ca? http://identi.ca/nelsonballard4166 is producing a lot of cruft01:30
charlie-tcajust block that person02:48
charlie-tcaknome: click on the name, it takes you to their profile. Now click on "Block", then Yes at the bottom03:44
mr_pouitcharlie-tca: well, I'm not sure it it's a bug in garcon after all. I think the spec is like that ;-)06:44
knomecharlie-tca, i'm not on identi.ca. i'd like to actually fight against the spam, not just ignore it. it's a problem if anybody wants to follow the identi.ca rss/atom feed07:15
knomecharlie-tca, this only not makes it impossible to follow if you're not on identi.ca but also renders any website that's aggregating that feed less relevant07:17
knomecharlie-tca, and since it seems to be only one user in the #xubuntu tag...07:17
knomecharlie-tca, all his messages come from the api, and they all link to some user profiles on various forums and such. that can't be waterproof.07:18
knomeanyway, go to RUN07:19
knomesee you later07:19
ochosii've made another iteration of the panel layout etc, this time including a preview of how more "default" looking icons would look there: http://wiki.knome.fi/_detail/shimmer:panel_it4.png?id=shimmer%3Axfce-panel07:57
ochosis/default/generic07:57
ochosinote: gimp would/could also be replaced by a more generic "painting" icon07:57
charlie-tcamr_pouit: that double entry doesn't exist outside of xfce, even though gnumeric uses the same .desktop file 13:01
mr_pouitcharlie-tca: mmh, have you tested with another desktop environment?13:02
charlie-tcagnome in ubuntu13:03
charlie-tcaI got the office entry, but not the science entry13:03
mr_pouitgrmbl, then gnome isn't following the xdg spec13:04
charlie-tcawhat a surprise :-(13:04
charlie-tcaso, back to gnumeric for a fix on it?13:04
mr_pouitmaybe, although their .desktop is perfectly fine (its an office & science app, I agree with that)13:05
charlie-tcaokay, I can upstream it there too. It's really just an annoyance to have it in two places.13:06
mr_pouitmany programs are like that, and that's not new (it has been like that in the previous releases too)13:07
charlie-tca10.04 only had one entry13:08
mr_pouityeah, it's xfce 4.4.x, not fully xdg compliant (not at all for menu files)13:08
charlie-tcaokay13:09
charlie-tcahm, and the good news for the day. Alpha2 is due thursday, images are broken by X13:09
mr_pouitwell, I can edit the xubuntu menu file to be exclusive, so we don't get two entries for the same app14:14
charlie-tcaDo we need to?14:15
charlie-tcaIt isn't like it is a bad thing to have them, really14:15
mr_pouitIt's better than asking gnumeric's upstream ot change something that is correct ;-)14:15
mr_pouitbut yeah, it's a matter of preferences14:15
mr_pouitI can easily change that in the menu, so we can decide what we prefer anyway14:16
charlie-tcaoh, okay. I didn't go upstream there yet. 14:16
ochosii think doing the change downstream for stuff like this is better14:16
ochosiit's just our preference, so we should change it14:16
charlie-tcaI will talk to them on irc before I send the bug to them14:16
charlie-tcabut not today. Today I broke my system with the updates, VBox won't work for me, and we start testing as soon as they fix X14:17
charlie-tcamr_pouit: we can either change the file or mark the bug wishlist14:23
=== Dr_Who is now known as tgall_foo
ochosii made a draft for a few default apps in xubuntu that could use icon improvements, it's all wip but you can see it here: http://wiki.knome.fi/shimmer:xubuntu_generic_app_icons16:02
ochosiit's what we talked about wrt more generic app icons16:02
charlie-tcawe didn't decide on anything, though16:02
ochosino16:02
ochosiof course not16:03
charlie-tcaI am not sure replacing what is used linux wide for an app is a good idea16:03
ochosibut i want to illustrate my point16:03
ochosicharlie-tca: i would *only* replace the launchers in the launcer-panel, not in the menu16:03
charlie-tcaIsn't that confusing. If I look in the menu, I see an icon. If I look at the launchers, it isn't there?16:04
charlie-tcaI have to remember the icon changed ?16:05
ochosinot sure, we'll have to think about it a while16:06
charlie-tcaxubuntu images are ready for alpha2 testing22:44
j1mccharlie-tca: can we test in a vm?23:25
charlie-tcasure23:25
charlie-tcaxubuntu is good in a vm23:25
j1mcprobably one of the few remaining desktops that can be testing in a vm. :) i'll go ahead and give it a try.23:25
j1mc... i suppose kde can still probably be tested in a vm, though.23:26
charlie-tcathanks, j1mc. 23:26
charlie-tcaochosi: we need to unhide the bottom panel. It is only found by those who hit it by mistake23:49
charlie-tcaj1mc: are you testing the desktop image?23:54
charlie-tcaWant to know if you hit bug 711571 ?23:55
ubottuLaunchpad bug 711571 in xfce4-session (Ubuntu) ""Reboot" and "Shut down" do not work from live session desktop" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/71157123:55
knomecharlie-tca, should the alpha2 images work in vbox 3.2.x?23:56
charlie-tcaI don't think so23:56
charlie-tcabut I could be wrong23:56
knomeright. that makes testing harder than it should be for many.23:57
j1mccharlie-tca: sorry, i'm just doing the alternate23:57
charlie-tcaokay23:57
knomedo you think there could be more resources put in getting the new alphas working with older vbox versions?23:57
charlie-tcaknome: yes, it does, but so does the fact they just upgraded the xserver and nvidia-current is dead23:57
knomeprobably *ubuntu*-wide...23:57
charlie-tcaI don't think that would be a wise use of resources, since the priority is getting natty working23:58
charlie-tcaIf it fails in older virtual machines, well, ...23:58
knomeyeah well, less people to test it (at least less people that are not used to testing and/or 'cutting edge' bugs), less bugs found...23:59
