Unit193micahg: I'm really not sure if it counts, but I just crashed FF using downloadhelper03:47
micahgUnit193: cool, can you report the crash to mozilla03:47
micahgUnit193: I actually had Firefox 5 pushed out already, but thanks03:48
micahgwe can still get stuff fixed though03:48
micahgFirefox 6 is 8 weeks away :)03:48
Unit193Looks like I'm a bit behind...03:49
Unit193Sorry about that :P03:49
micahgUnit193: no problem, there were only a few who answered my call for testing03:50
micahgUnit193: like I said, we can still get stuff fixed03:50
micahgthere are still plenty of bugs in Firefox :) I just wanted to catch regressions03:51
Unit193micahg: Once I download this, I'll see if I can do it again03:52
astraljavacharlie-tca: Damnit! I never realized that! However, the login screen should give some pointers for that, I think. It isn't obvious as it is, hell, it isn't intuitive in the least bit at the moment.06:04
astraljavacharlie-tca: There's just my name (as full name for my user), then Other...06:04
astraljavaThe session selection comes only after clicking on the Other...06:04
astraljavaBut yeah, thanks for the pointer!06:05
charlie-tcaThat's the kind of things we "testers" have to be looking for. How else do we if things are usable broken or unusable broken?12:57
charlie-tcaastraljava: ^  ^  12:58
charlie-tcamr_pouit: will the umask change affect us at all?13:18
charlie-tcahttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/umask-to-000213:18
astraljavacharlie-tca: Yep. :)13:35
charlie-tca we got the xubuntu slideshow back14:08
mr_pouityes, it will affect all variants14:19
charlie-tcaMaybe not the right question. Will it create any additional work for us or can we just let it happen?14:20
mr_pouitno, just let it happen14:20
charlie-tcaThanks14:20
charlie-tcaThat's the answer I hoped for14:20
ochosimr_pouit: thanks for subscribing me to the artwork-bugs15:39
ochosimr_pouit: i think i'd rather drop the dropbox icons than fix them in elementaryXubuntu, i don't even wanna start supporting 3rd party stuff, it's a never ending story...15:40
charlie-tcaochosi: I see one or two pixels to the right of the scrollbar in most windows that is not usable. If I click within that space, nothing happens. 16:00
charlie-tcaAlso, sometimes in firefox, the scrollbars disappear16:00
charlie-tca(oneiric with latest greybird from git16:00
ochosicharlie-tca: hm, can't confirm the firefox issue in natty, maybe an oneiric specific problem?16:03
charlie-tcacould be16:03
ochosithink with the scrollbar it's only 1px border16:03
charlie-tcamight not even be firefox, of course. Maybe something with the latest Xorg or who knows yet16:03
ochosinot sure it's worth the sacrifice of general looks for firefox's fullscreen behavior...16:04
ochosimhm16:04
charlie-tcaNever used fullscreen16:04
ochosisry, meant maximized16:04
ochosibut in fact i rarely use maximized either ;)16:04
charlie-tcame too16:05
charlie-tcaI run almost everything in smaller windows, since I keep dasher on the right, and it needs some space without being on top of applications16:05
charlie-tcaThe white space right of scrollbar is okay if we can't change it. 16:06
charlie-tcaThe firefox thing, I don't know yet. I haven't pinned it down far enough yet16:06
charlie-tcaJust thought I would give you a heads up on it16:06
ochosicharlie-tca: k, thanks!16:19
charlie-tcano problem, I hope I didn't upset you with it. I just intended to let you know, and see if you knew about it yet16:21
ochosihehe, no, no problem16:23
ochosii'm not *that* sensitive ;)16:23
ochosijust wanted to prevent people from screaming: "what did you do with the old theme?!" ;)16:23
GridCubewhat did you do to it?16:24
GridCube:P16:24
ochosihehe16:25
ochosiyou don't want to know ;)16:25
ochosiin fact i just made a new iteration of it, since you're asking: http://imagebin.org/15950116:25
GridCube:P16:25
ochosicharlie-tca: i think this is by far the best scrollbar we had so far ^16:25
GridCube:) thats nice, im more fond of dark themes tho16:25
ochosiyeah, maybe we'll do a dark theme one day16:26
ochosii always thought of tweaking/modernizing NOX16:26
GridCubethats why i use albatross :D16:26
ochosiyeah, i might fix a few things there for the upcoming release16:27
ochosibut it's getting increasingly difficult to manage everything16:27
ochosi3 themes (albatross, bluebird, greybird) and all would need some attention16:27
GridCubeIt is understable16:27
ochosiespecially gtk3 variants...16:27
GridCubeoh, that sounds messy16:27
ochosiwell i could use some help with all of that16:28
ochosibut seems i'll be alone for another cycle :)16:28
GridCube:( i don't know any programing at all16:28
ochosiit's not really so much programming16:28
ochosibut yes, you should no a few things about gtk and about the engines you're using16:28
ochosiit's mostly about being creative16:28
GridCube:P maybe in a few months i will be able to do that kind of things, maybe if i start doing simple things now?16:29
ochosiyou can always start out easy by modifying existing themes16:30
GridCube:P16:30
GridCubeim afraid of broking things16:30
ochosiheh16:31
ochosiit's not really that dangerous16:31
GridCubebreaking? men i need to know that word16:31
ochosi:)16:32
ochosigotta go, catch you later16:32
GridCube:=16:32
GridCube:)16:32
charlie-tcaGridCube: images are working today, except live desktop17:04
charlie-tcahoping the scrollbar doesn't go blending into the theme completely again17:05
GridCube:) im doing the alternate test since like an hour ago, it really takes  lot of time, this time i disconected the internet from the vbox, else it would be like 5 hours installing like yesterdays17:06
GridCubewill do the updates once the system is installed, i don't understand why this isn't always the case17:07
charlie-tcaYou must be on that slow connection again17:09
charlie-tcaThe updates are downloading automatically by mistake, which is why as soon as the install is done, you get the update-manager icon on the login17:09
charlie-tcaThe only way to keep them from downloading during the installation (and slowing it down) is by disconnecting the internet completely17:10
GridCubethats what i did17:11
GridCubeand im toping at 320kBs so i don't think is my conection, but it might be17:12
charlie-tcaMine are installing in about 45 minutes, with my slow connection17:13
GridCubemmm then it migh be something else17:16
charlie-tcayeah, maybe something is stealing bandwidth. I get between 87 and 150kbs here17:16
charlie-tcaYou should be able to do the install in 45 minutes, max, at that high speed17:17
GridCube:) installed, that problem whit thunar and first opens remain (today i recived a mail from that bug report saying it was fixed on a new version of thunar)18:06
charlie-tcayes, but we don't get the fixes immediately. It should happen in the next week, though18:08
GridCubeyep i figured that much18:10
charlie-tcaWe might have the thunar fix tomorrow, it was synced today.18:10
GridCubequestion, setting a wallpaper from firefox does actually work?18:13
GridCube:) ok tests passed18:25
GridCubeboot, reboot, update, reboot, language updates, reboot, internets, reboot18:25
GridCubeanything else to be tested?18:25
charlie-tcaThat's good. Thanks for doing it18:27
charlie-tcaDid you update the chart?18:27
GridCube:) nope, i was about to18:27
charlie-tca:)18:28
GridCubedone18:29
Unit193Ever find drc?18:31
charlie-tcanope18:33
charlie-tcaI hope nothing happened in California or on the way home18:34
Unit193Last seen  : (about 2 weeks ago)18:49
charlie-tcayeah, I know18:50
charlie-tcaNo response to email, either18:50
Unit193I got his address and # if you really want to give him a call :P19:19
charlie-tcanope19:21
charlie-tcaIf he doesn' t respond to email, I won't call19:22
charlie-tcaJust one more person that disappeared19:22
Unit193I think he's 55-5919:24
Unit193(I'm still here and I still plan to test when others don't)19:25
charlie-tcayup, maybe even 60, and a good tester, too19:28
Unit193I try my best, but the good ones have more experience than I19:30
charlie-tcaThey don't stay around too long... ;)19:35
charlie-tcanew and here, experienced and gone, I will take the new everytime19:36
Unit193I always come back. Normally I find the sheet already has the tests for today19:40
charlie-tcaIt's okay to do them again, or even do different ones19:44
charlie-tcaespecially if today's have all been done.19:44
Unit193Thanks for sending the minutes of the meetings, I like to read up, but it's still really nice to have them if I forget anything!19:51
charlie-tcaIt's good for those who miss the meetings too. Sometimes people just can't/won't attend, but want to know what is happening anyway.19:55
* charlie-tca slaps head19:55
charlie-tcaYou are welcome, Unit193 19:55
charlie-tcaHappy to be of service19:55
GridCube:D19:55
Unit193charlie-tca: I can't really make any of the meetings :(19:57
charlie-tcaThat's okay. You can always bring stuff up here or on the mailing list19:57
charlie-tcaI broke it20:08
charlie-tcaMaybe I fixed it20:15
Unit193How did you bork it?20:16
charlie-tcachanged a js20:17
charlie-tcachanged a shortcut key, it makes most of the letters not work no more20:18
* Unit193 is more irssi20:18
Unit193I have seen some nice features I would like from weechat, but I'll live...20:18
charlie-tcairssi is hard to use ;)20:19
charlie-tcaafterall, it is 'Terminal' only20:19
Unit193Same with weechat... And mine is more GUI than the one pleia2 uses...20:25
pleia2I use irssi20:28
Unit193pleia2: Sorry for the ping... I know you do, my config just makes it more GUI like :)20:29
pleia2:)20:30
charlie-tcahm, I really want something close to Xchat, that works with dasher20:30
charlie-tcaweechat is the closest thing I can find, and it is not even close to xchat20:31
charlie-tcaAt least I can make it work, sort of :)20:31
charlie-tcaknome: why doesn't shimmer have albatross, bluebird, greybird in xfce yet?21:01
knomecharlie-tca, you mean xfce-look.org?21:38
charlie-tcaDon't quite know. THere was a user in #xfce looking for a dark theme. When I brought up albatross and bluebird, they don't know about them21:39
knomemmh.21:40
knomeis that user TCW ?21:40
charlie-tcaSo I thought "why aren't these default themes in xfwm and appearance?21:40
charlie-tcayes, I told him try #shimmer21:40
knomeright, you mean that21:40
charlie-tcaThey got a ton of themes there, but most don't compare to your themes21:41
knomei don't actually know. i suppose we could undertake a project with the xfce design SIG to clear up the theme and wallpaper catalog21:41
knomeyeah.21:41
charlie-tcaI don't know how to do it, but it is an idea21:42
knomethat's what the xfce design sig is for21:42
knomethat reminds me that i should blog about it21:42
charlie-tcayup21:43
Unit193What's the traffic and topic of #shimmer? (I can guess some of it)21:46
GridCubeI don't know a lot about what you are talking about, but i would like to say that i find really anoying how hided and obscure the walpapers folder for xfce is, i've symbolic linked it to a folder into ~/ now21:46
knomethe topic of #shimmer is our projects (see http://shimmerproject.org/). we also discuss about some design decisions or proposals for for example greybird21:47
knomeof course we are bringing the news about new features or changed stuff here as well, but we're saving you from the artist-artist argumentation ;)21:48
knomefeel free to join us, though21:48
GridCubebut you do support albatross rigth? will it be one of the choosable themes on the future, or it will only be grey/bluebird21:49
Unit193I like getting the news, but if I can get it here, I don't really need to join (As I wouldn't have much to add)21:49
knomealbatross is already included in xubuntu21:49
knomeand it's being supported21:49
knomeand we're giving it a facelift this year21:50
charlie-tcaI know it is in Xubuntu, but not in the rest of the xfce distros, right?21:50
GridCube:D awesome thats the theme i use, i don't really like shiny themes21:50
knomenot many visual changes, but just bringing it to 2011 and making it work well with the current murrine21:50
knomecharlie-tca, yup. i'm just working on it ;)21:50
charlie-tcaWhen I look in settings -> Appearance, I get a huge list of themes21:50
knomecharlie-tca, yes.21:51
charlie-tcaheh, I think we are on the same page, just confused again21:51
knomecharlie-tca, http://open.knome.fi/2011/06/22/xfce-design-sig-launches/ (going to be aggregated to planet ubuntu)21:55
charlie-tcaGood, I tried to publicize it a bit in the meeting, too21:57
knomecharlie-tca, added a new item @ https://wiki.xfce.org/design/start, see page bottom22:00
charlie-tcaThat's the idea!22:01
GridCube:P what about mine? XD linking the walpaper folder to the ~/Images/ folder?22:03
knomeGridCube, imo that's not really a xfce design sig item, and probably not an xfce item.22:03
GridCube:( ok22:03
knome~/Images/ is *buntu*-specific (or if not specific, it's not at least general/obligatory)22:04
GridCubewho is it then? xdg?22:04
knomexubuntu, i'd say, pretty much.22:04
charlie-tcaI suspect it is distro local, yes22:04
Unit193~/Images/wallpaper would be better,,,22:05
knomebut imo the wallpapers can't be just everything that is in ~/Images/ either, since for one, i hate people forcing me to have a non-hidden folder in home22:05
GridCubewell a ~/backdrops ? having the walpapers folders on /usr/dontknow/dontknoweither/noidea is really anoying22:05
knomeas i said, i will vote against any non-hidden directory in home22:05
charlie-tcaoh, yeah, I guess it is22:05
GridCubeknome, yeah that was my bad, i meanted ~/Images/whatever22:05
knomeGridCube, i don't have ~/Images/, so that would still force me to have that22:06
charlie-tcaGridCube: have you submitted the wishlist bug for that yet?22:06
GridCubeno22:06
Unit193knome: Do you have Pictures?22:06
GridCubejust comenting that up22:06
knomemaybe something like a symlink from .config/xfce-wallpapers to the wallpapers directory...22:06
charlie-tcatalk will not usually result in much action.22:06
knomeUnit193, nope, in my ~, i only have Desktop, and then just some temporary/current files (so nothing permanent except Desktop)22:07
Unit193I like the idea of ~/.config/something 22:07
Unit193knome: Comes by default for me :/22:08
knomeUnit193, i know, but you are able to remove those22:08
knomeUnit193, if the wallpaper directory is there, it's not wise to do that22:08
astraljavaknome: I'm dumb, so out of curiosity, where do you keep your personal files? (sorry, completely OT)22:13
knomeastraljava, /data/knome/22:13
astraljavaOk.22:13
knomeastraljava, which is a completely different HD22:13
GridCubewell, a ~/config/wallpapers folder then, it will really simplify things up22:13
GridCube.c^22:13
knomeGridCube, mmh. mr_pouit might have a better idea, but something like that might work22:14
charlie-tcasubmit it as a wishlist bug, give several ideas on how to resolve it.22:14
GridCubecharlie-tca, how to start a wishlist bug?22:14
GridCubeD: i can't find a "submit" link anywhere22:23
charlie-tcaopen terminal, type ubuntu-bug xubuntu-meta, it opens a bug report in firefox, then give it a title, put your ideas in the next block, scroll to the bottom and hit save/submit/enter/whatever the thing is22:27
GridCube>the package xubuntu-meta doesnt exist22:29
GridCube:(22:30
charlie-tcawell!22:30
GridCubefrell?22:30
charlie-tcadoes xubuntu-default-settings exist?22:30
GridCubenope, nothing whit xu excep xulrunner22:30
charlie-tcawhere are you looking?22:31
GridCubebash and 2 tabs?22:31
charlie-tcano22:31
charlie-tcatype it. ubuntu-bug xubuntu-meta22:31
GridCubei did...22:31
charlie-tcaIt is not an application, but a source package. bash won't know about it22:31
GridCubehttp://imagebin.org/15954822:32
charlie-tcainstead of xubuntu-meta, use ubuntu-bug xubuntu-default-settings22:33
GridCubedefault-settings do work :D22:33
charlie-tcait does exist22:33
GridCube:) thanks charlie-tca , sorry for bothering so much22:34
charlie-tcanp22:34
charlie-tcaAt least we got it, right?22:34
GridCube:D yes22:34
GridCubeshould i add up there the fact that firefox "use this image as a wallpaper" do not work on xubuntu?22:37
charlie-tcaThat should be a separate bug, shouldn't it? I did not know firefox can use the wallpaper, even22:38
charlie-tcabut, yeah, throw that into the bug report. If it works for Ubuntu, say that, too.22:38
charlie-tcaand steps to do that, will help22:38
GridCubei don't know if it works on ubuntu22:42
charlie-tcaTell us how to make it happen, if you can22:43
GridCubeoh... i just figured something... the folder is outside ~/ because of multiple users22:58
GridCubeif the folder is in ~/.config/backdrops   then another user wont be able to see those wallpapers22:59
GridCubeeven if symlinked?22:59
charlie-tcaright, only the logged in user sees ~/.config23:02
charlie-tcaso each user would need the links or files23:03
knomecharlie-tca, errm, no?23:03
GridCubeyes, im considering that on my whislist message23:03
knomecharlie-tca, if the directory is linked, everybody will see the (updated) content23:03
knomeas long as it is not single files23:04
charlie-tcaWe used to link to /usr/share/Example_Content in ~/Example_Content. maybe something similar would work?23:04
knomecharlie-tca, exactly, but in ~/.hidden :)23:04
charlie-tcaknome: no one except the user can see ~/23:04
charlie-tcathat is each users /home, not a public directory23:04
charlie-tca/usr/share/??? is public, and all users have access23:05
knomecharlie-tca, yes... but if that's symlinked to /usr/share..23:05
charlie-tcaThen it has to be done for each user23:05
knomeyes23:05
knomeas /Example_Content23:05
charlie-tcaright, only the logged in user sees ~/.config]23:06
charlie-tcais correct23:06
knomeyes, but if that is symlinked to /usr, what's the problem?23:09
Unit193permissions?23:09
charlie-tcaI didn't say there was one. You told me I was wrong23:10
knomethe permissions are the same as they are in /usr23:10
knomecharlie-tca, okay :P i was assumed you thought there was a problem :P23:11
GridCubehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/80091823:13
