micahgcharlie-tca: can you approve a message to xubuntu-devel?00:01
charlie-tcayes00:02
charlie-tcaDid you send already?00:02
micahgyep00:02
charlie-tcaapproved, micahg 00:05
micahgcharlie-tca: thanks00:05
charlie-tcanp00:05
* micahg hopes some people will test00:08
micahghttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2011-June/007830.html for those not on the ML00:10
micahgcharlie-tca: is it worth a meeting reminder for Sunday?00:10
charlie-tcasure00:11
charlie-tcaI forgot00:11
charlie-tcaI will send one, tonight00:11
micahgk00:11
astraljavaPeople use Firefox still?! :D00:14
charlie-tcaThanks for reminding me00:14
micahgit's xubuntu's default :)00:14
charlie-tcaastraljava: yup, at least some of us old folks00:14
astraljavaYeah yeah. :D00:14
astraljavaSorry, a bit tipsy here. :)00:14
GridCubesadly is not ff3 and its ff4 and will be 5 so... downgrading!00:14
micahg?00:15
astraljavaHUGE changes in life in the coming weeks, so needed to vent a little.00:15
charlie-tcaWe'll just ignore you if you get too tipsy :)00:16
astraljavaI know. That's what people do. :D00:16
charlie-tcaHeh, sometimes it is necessary00:16
charlie-tcaI guess this expensive keyboard wasn't worth it after all. It can't spell no better than the old, cheap keyboard.00:17
astraljavaWhat's that, then?00:18
micahgGridCube: I was wondering about your comment?00:19
astraljavaI got a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Works great, though sometimes I have trouble finding the proper keys. It's a tad formed according to how palms rest on keyboards normally.00:20
astraljavaIe. slightly bent outwards from the wrists.00:20
GridCubeoh, you know when stuff change micahg? and you dont like change? and you have to live whit programers thinking for you, taking options from you, eliminating menus, changing where options are "because they are better elsewhere" adding stuff just for the sake of adding stuff but that doenst really do anything good, i don't like that sort of stuff, thats why i didn't liked ff4, but then again i don't like when people change stuff that actually works00:23
GridCube "because it will be better" and then i just have to live whit that00:23
micahgGridCube: heh, we're kinda stuck here00:23
micahgthis is the new world for browsers, rapid release00:24
micahgGridCube: BTW, you can make firefox 4+ look almost like Firefox 300:24
micahgit'll just be faster and more secure00:25
GridCubeyes, i know, and for that i still like firefox, at least they dont force you to that "tab on top paradigm" that i really, really, really dislike, i don't think i am the only person in the world that uses a dock on the top side of the window, so if i go to the tabs, the dock will pop up and it will mess whit my tabs and stuff, and then if gods ever let me down and they follow that incredibly irracional trend that windows7 started of "one menu does00:29
GridCube all" i will simply stop using internet00:29
knomeyet another quick demo: http://temp.knome.fi/shimmer/imgcapt/01:01
GridCubenice thingy01:03
charlie-tcaI don't like those orange dots all over :(01:10
knomecharlie-tca, did you try hovering them?01:10
charlie-tcabut I think I get the idea01:11
charlie-tcayup, I like that part01:11
knomewell yeah, the dot part is completely customisable01:11
charlie-tcaI just don't like the orange color.01:11
charlie-tcalol01:11
knomeit's just a png image sitting there01:11
charlie-tcaI do like what it does! It is great. Will the website have that, too?01:11
knomewell, if we want, we can have that01:12
knomebut we have to think about it, since we already have the installer slideshow, and the picslider i showed you earlier01:12
charlie-tcaSomething to think about. I suppose we would have to tell users what to do.01:12
knomei'm building this primarily for shimmer blog, we're going to set up some gmb "power user" tutorials01:12
charlie-tcaThe picslider made me dizzy, with the fades.01:12
charlie-tcaYou got some powerful stuff happening there.01:13
knomemmh. this won't work in the frontpage though, as it obviously needs quite a lot of space01:13
charlie-tcaOkay. Just stick with slideshow and picslider, or even just the slideshow. It is very showy for a website.01:14
knomei still haven't converted that :)01:15
knomebut i don't think that would work either on the frontpage01:15
charlie-tcano, lightdm doesn't have icons in use yet. 01:15
knomemaybe we can work out an another transition for the "slides" that makes you feel less dizzy01:15
charlie-tcaThe thing is not ready for users to customize, it is still being worked pretty hard just to get it to work.01:15
knomethough currently, the slide show time is quite slow already, so the effect doesn't happen too often01:16
knomeand you probably aren't looking at the frontpage for hours01:16
charlie-tcaMIght be. Otherwise, I will have to avoid the thing.01:16
charlie-tcatrue, I don't look too often, either01:16
charlie-tcaI run the rss feed, so I get the news stuff01:16
knomemmh, and when you (or anybody else) do, you probably click away quite fast01:16
charlie-tcaheh, sometimes01:17
knomei didn't think that we'd include the slider in the rss feed, but now that you say it... ;)01:17
knome(seriously i don't think if any rss reader even support js...)01:17
knomes/think/know/01:17
charlie-tcait isn' t01:17
knomethunderbird just might.01:18
charlie-tcabut to read the news feed and other stuff, I just use the feed01:18
charlie-tcaI don' t go to the website to read the stuff, since it comes to me.01:18
knomeexactly.01:19
charlie-tcaI don' t think we want to send the slideshow to a feed01:19
charlie-tcaI guess then the dizzy factor goes way down, huh?01:19
knomeheh, of course we don't want it there01:19
knomei was just thinking if it was technically possible01:20
charlie-tcaah, okay01:20
knomecould be fun to send some js-enabled mail01:20
charlie-tcaI am sure there is a way, if you worked at it hard enough01:20
knomethough, wouldn't be that fun to receive one01:20
charlie-tcaI hate the mail with flash in it, or whatever that stuff they use now is.01:20
knomei skip most mail anyway01:21
charlie-tcaThere is very little chance I will read it unless it is plain text01:21
charlie-tcaWell, I guess I better go eat dinner01:22
knomebon appetit01:22
charlie-tcaGood luck with the flashy stuff. It looks exciting!01:22
knomei'll stay awake for some more, and then fall to bed01:22
knomesee you later01:22
knomeand thanks for the feedback, that's always welcome01:23
knomecharlie-tca, if you are still there, http://temp.knome.fi/shimmer/imgcapt/ is now updated!03:02
knomemoved to http://demo.knome.fi/imgcapt/03:51
knomeGuest61923, hello11:06
Guest61923hello!11:06
charlie-tcaGood morning13:09
charlie-tcaAm I the only person can NOT log in to https://wiki.ubuntu.com today?13:10
charlie-tcaI got it!13:52
charlie-tcachanging the theme on https://wiki.ubuntu.com creates a conflict at the server, and locks out the user13:53
charlie-tcaWe have images, some of which at least are usable!14:08
charlie-tcaStill no Xubuntu Session when installing Oneiric - http://pad.lv/79557514:49
ubottuLaunchpad bug 795575 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "xubuntu-session unavailable for Oneiric" [High,Triaged]14:49
charlie-tca386 desktop image now has the Edubuntu slideshow! How interesting...15:06
charlie-tcaInstalled using the cd menu, install Xubuntu15:06
charlie-tcamr_pouit: after installing, all images still won't login to a Xubuntu desktop. They are using Xfce sessions only.15:27
charlie-tca386 desktop does install Xubuntu, even if it gives the edubuntu slideshow today15:27
ochosicharlie-tca: now i'm here16:06
charlie-tcaGood evening16:07
ochosiis the question from #xubuntu still relevant? (didn't read the full log now916:07
charlie-tcastarting thunderbird minimized?16:08
ochosithink it was some theming question16:08
ochosiyou pinged me at the time16:08
charlie-tcano, knome took care of the person16:09
ochosiah ok, good16:09
ochosibtw, i think i succeeded in coming up with a cool new scrollbar-style16:09
charlie-tcaBetter than what Unity did, right?16:11
ochosiyeah, i think it's nicer looking than our current greybird-scrollbar16:11
ochosiit's without arrows16:11
charlie-tcasorry, really hate trying to hit that scrollbar in Unity16:11
charlie-tcaGreat!16:11
charlie-tcaThis black scrollbar in terminal is starting to drive me nuts16:11
mr_pouithey there16:13
charlie-tcaHello, mr_pouit 16:13
mr_pouitcharlie-tca: sure, because I didn't upload any fix ;>16:13
charlie-tcaThanks16:13
charlie-tcaWhat about the edubuntu slideshow?16:13
charlie-tcaand why is that on Xubuntu cd's?16:14
mr_pouitah, that I don't know16:14
charlie-tcaheh16:14
charlie-tcaAt least we did get images, and they are xubuntu today16:14
charlie-tcaNow we get to try and keep them, right?16:15
charlie-tcaum, by the way, I can not make any changes to wiki.ubuntu.com, since I can not log in now16:15
ochosihey lionel16:20
mr_pouitsame here, I can't even log in anymore16:26
mr_pouitthis update was a great improvement16:26
mr_pouithey ochosi 16:26
ochosi:}16:26
charlie-tcaI just sent an email to rt requesting they update the meeting page for me.16:26
charlie-tcaI will probably just keep sending requests per:16:27
charlie-tcahttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2011-June/000859.html16:28
charlie-tcamr_pouit: I sent two tickets to rt already for the login issue. no response16:29
charlie-tcaMeeting will be Sunday at 22:00 UTC. Agenda in email, since wiki can not be changed17:01
knomeyay for fixing the wiki17:02
knome;)17:02
charlie-tca:(17:02
charlie-tcaIt' s faster now, though! and I have no errors trying to update it (of course, I can not log in either)17:02
* charlie-tca thinks he is on the RT hate mail list, too, now17:03
knomemaybe you now start to see my negative POV against the IS as well as the canonicl bureaucracy17:14
knomeit's not irrational negativiness17:14
charlie-tca+117:16
charlie-tcabut we can't let it keep us from using stuff, can we?17:16
* charlie-tca has hopes yet to be able to use the wiki17:17
knomewell, we can't let them make stuff happen slowly either. let me remind you, it took over two years to do a simple redirection from x.com to x.org17:17
knomeit is slowing the whole team down, and as we have limited resources, that's a bad thing, especially if we are pending on stuff like that17:18
charlie-tcayeah, now x.com and x.net are missing again17:26
charlie-tcaheh17:26
knomeawwwh17:26
knomewe'll probably get them up by 2014 if you file an RT ticket right away17:26
pleia2charlie-tca: updated wiki17:29
charlie-tcaYou can login?17:29
pleia2eryeah17:29
pleia2oh, forgot the header thing17:29
pleia2there17:30
pleia2ok, heading out now17:30
charlie-tcaThanks17:30
charlie-tcanice work in #x, knome 17:33
knomeheh, no problem17:33
knomebbl ->17:34
=== _Hyper__ is now known as _Hyper_
knomecharlie-tca, are you sure you want to let keepingdreams.com die?20:33
knomecharlie-tca, did you file a ticket in the RT yet for the .com and .net domains?20:34
charlie-tcano, pleia2 did that one20:34
charlie-tcakeepingdreams.com?20:34
charlie-tcaIt is good until september yet, isn' t it?20:35
knomei mean the content part and all20:35
knomei can't see the new ticket in rt yet, but that's probably not public yet then20:35
charlie-tcaI don' t know yet. It doesn't seem very up-to-date. Maybe I should turn it into a blog on it's own, but I am bad at that blog thing20:36
knomemaybe try something really "light" blogging20:36
knomea light theme that doesn't shout for long articles20:36
knomejust a few sentences now and then20:36
charlie-tcaand you think I can manage that?20:37
knomewhy not?20:37
charlie-tcaso, maybe something once a month or so will work?20:38
knomesure20:38
charlie-tcaThat's a good idea then. I will have to seriously think about it.20:38
knomebut if you are going with the short articles, you can probably easily write at least twice a month, especially when we are nearing a release20:39
knomethe last article in my blog is from may 10, and that's not awfully far away - yet20:39
knomesometimes you just update slower20:39
charlie-tcaI guess maybe. ;)20:42
charlie-tcaYou might have a really good idea there for me20:42
knomemm-hmm.20:42
knomethen just spice that idea up with a really really clean and basic theme20:42
knomehttp://wordpress.org/extend/themes/platform20:44

PjotrHello, I have a feature request for Xubuntu23:12
PjotrThe default screensaver should be black screen, not random23:13
PjotrBecause some screensavers cause crashes on some hardware23:13
PjotrThe default screensaver should be failsafe, i.e. black screen23:13
PjotrIt would be an important improvement, because I think Xubuntu has become so good, that it'll be the Next Big Thing. The ideal alternative for those who miss Gnome 2 in October23:17
PjotrTherefore I think it's important to remove a paper cut like this screensaver default23:18
mr_pouitcould you file a bug on launchpad against xubuntu-default-settings? otherwise it's likely to be forgotten ;-)23:19
PjotrWill do. Thanks for replying. :-)23:20
charlie-tcaGonna be growing pains? or is it just pain in the ???23:21
Pjotr@mr_pouit: I just filed a bug report like you suggested: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/79926823:28
ubottuUbuntu bug 799268 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu: default screensaver should be black screen, not random" [Undecided,New]23:28
mr_pouitthanks23:37
GridCube:P how do i second?23:37
GridCubeclik on "this problem affects 1 person, does it affect you?" and say yes? XD23:37
Pjotr@mr_pouit: you're welcome. Keep up the good work, Xubuntu has become a great distro!23:39
Pjotr@GridCube: Tx for the support.23:40
PjotrHave to go now. Bye all.23:40
charlie-tcaYes, GridCube 23:40
GridCube:D done23:41
