knomemadnick, if you need something, can you just ask again? i can export stuff later today19:03
madnickknome: yep, i need the textbox and the dot, also i need your opinion, because the functionallity is done19:09
madnickknome: http://www.madnick.se/~madnick/xubuntu19:10
knomejust give me a sec and i'll check those19:16
madnick:)19:16
madnickkeep in mind that im not using your graphics for the passwords etc, so it looks a bit unpolished19:17
knomesure19:17
madnickalso the fonts have changed19:17
knomehmm, the fsck font looks... stomped?19:18
madnickyeah19:18
knomeotherwise everything in fsck2.ogg seems perfec19:18
knome+t19:18
knomei think less space between the dots would be nice19:19
madnickI changed to the default font, which I think is reasonable19:19
madnickokay19:19
knomei'll export you the textbox and the dots in a sec19:19
madnickbut did you want in the textbox or above as in your draft?19:19
knomeyeah19:19
madnickokay19:20
knomeor i don't know19:20
knomemaybe it's better to show the indicator/progress anyway19:20
knomethat's actually pretty nice19:20
madnickyeah i acctually wanted to show that19:20
knomelet's do it like you've done it19:20
knomeyup, that's good19:20
knomeis there any ways to get the default font look better??19:20
madnickWe can acctually do different things at boot / shutdown also, but i had no ideas19:21
madnicki think the default fonts looks ok, its just a bit big19:21
knomeit looks streched :(19:21
madnickyes, it is in this demo, i changed it19:21
madnick1 sec19:21
knomesure19:21
knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/oneiric_plymouth/inputbox.png19:22
knomeand19:22
madnickhttp://www.madnick.se/~madnick/xubuntu/font.png19:22
knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/oneiric_plymouth/inputtext.png19:22
madnickthanks 19:22
knomeokay, that's better. can you make the text smaller?19:23
madnickThats the problem19:23
madnickI cannot set font size19:23
madnickI can scale19:23
knomealso, i think as a message "Performing routine disk drive check..." would be better19:23
knomeand a bit more polite...19:23
madnicksure19:23
knomecan you scale both directions? :P19:23
madnickhehe yes19:24
knomethen what about ~80% of that?19:24
madnickbut keep in mind this: different screen sizes19:24
madnickit will be scaled according to that19:24
madnickWhen you boot 19:24
knomewith bigger screens everything is bigger, or just the text?19:24
madnickSo it will not be this big19:24
knomeyeah, this big comparing to the other stuff19:25
knomecan we lock text size at n points?19:25
madnickI will see what I can do :)19:25
madnickI will percentage scale it19:25
knomeokay, thanks19:25
madnickhm, that creates a bug that makes no sense at all :P19:53
knomeright19:53
knomebbl probably later today, but no idea if/when19:54
knomeanyway, thanks again and see you!19:54
madnickcya19:54
Unit193I have no background in image processing or plymouth, but I love what you have done with it19:55
madnickUnit193: you can look at: http://www.madnick.se/~madnick/xubuntu also i hope that before the meeting, i will have the code completed in the updated version19:56
Unit193Aye, that I have open now. How much did you have to write? (How many lines might be better)19:57
madnickIts about 450 lines in the updated versoin19:58
GridCube:(20:00
GridCube:)20:00
madnick:o20:00
GridCubetypoed20:00
Unit193Wouldn't that be a... Faco? XD20:00
GridCubeoh today's meeting is in 2 more hours, i though i was late again20:01
madnickYeah, so i hope i will have my theme almost done + tested on all machines again20:02
madnick:D20:02
madnick2 hours is alot of time (not :()20:02
GridCubenot indeed20:02
GridCubeunless you are bored20:02
madnicktrue20:02
madnickat boot, (even with default resolution) "error: incompatiable license. vga=792 is deprecated. Use set gfxpayload="insert resolution / any is wrong" before linux command instead.20:51
madnickSo I cannot test anything :( I dont know where this is logged either, if it is logged20:52
charlie-tcaum, incompatible license shouldn't stop booting.20:52
charlie-tcavga= is pretty much obsolete now20:52
charlie-tcasince they no longer use vesa and vga drivers, they use the frame buffers instead20:53
charlie-tcaShould all be logged in either dmesg or xorg.log in /var/log20:53
madnickIt was set by the package "startupmanager"20:54
madnickas per the ubuntu tutorial20:54
madnickIm trying to get the splash working at all costs 20:54
charlie-tcaubuntu tutorial is, like most stuff, Ubuntu oriented?20:57
charlie-tcaIt may or may not apply to Xubuntu20:57
madnickcharlie-tca: the package is in xubuntu however20:57
madnickIt is an utility for this purpose soley 20:57
charlie-tcaAll the packages in Ubuntu are in the repository for Xubuntu too, but that doesn't mean they work as tutorials are written for Ubuntu.20:59
madnickoh20:59
charlie-tcaYou have to modify things to make them work with Xubuntu and Xfce.20:59
charlie-tcaXubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel in 60 minutes. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings21:01
astraljavaI'll see if I can stay awake. Anyhoo, didn't have much time for testing since the last meeting. However, I now have my machines in the apartment, so testing on real hardware commences. :)21:02
Unit193madnick: It should work, but it has issues at times21:03
madnickUnit193: the splash?21:05
charlie-tcaWe didn't have images most days to test21:05
Unit193Startupmanager21:05
madnickah21:05
madnickim doing manual edition now :)21:05
Unit193I got a few tests in21:05
madnickI've got it installed on all my machines + vms :P Just to get this splash thing to work 100%, then I can do more testing also21:08
micahgcharlie-tca: I have to leave at 35 past21:51

charlie-tcaum, great question22:14

micahgI'm not aware of anything else that will need an FFe22:14
micahgochosi mentioned a new version of gmusicbrowser possibly22:15
charlie-tcaI don't mind either way, but I would like lightdm to keep our usernames 22:15
knomehmm?22:15
knomeabout what?22:15
charlie-tcaDo we have anyone working on a lightdm theme?22:15
charlie-tcaor shall we keep the provided greeter?22:16
knomenot yet at least22:16
GridCubeif we have a plymouth theme we need a greeter too, just saying22:16
madnicki can look into that too, if you like22:16
charlie-tcawell, it would be nice, but the one we are using isn't bad22:16
charlie-tcaif you don't mind pink22:16
micahgwe can customize a little once the config file is available (like no guest session)22:17
charlie-tcamadnick: please do, if you have time22:17
madnicktime is all i got :P22:17
charlie-tcaYeah, the guest session fails for Xubuntu22:17

pleia2o/22:21
charlie-tcapleia2: go ahead, please22:22
pleia2beardygnome wrote another awesome review which I replied to here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2011-July/007898.html22:22
pleia2fixed most things, but I asked some questions there, particularly about documentation and translations stuff I don't understand (so can't fix on the site)22:22
charlie-tcaI thought I answered those, maybe it was only in my mind :(22:23
pleia2charlie-tca: that's was the first review :)22:23
pleia2this is the second review!22:23
charlie-tcaReviews are hard to keep up with, I guess22:23
pleia2no need to reply now, just wanted to mention that it's hanging out there22:23
charlie-tcaI will go find it and send out some responses, even if they are wrong22:24
pleia2thank you22:24
pleia2knome: any updates on wordpress theme?22:24
pleia2there is also an outstanding bug that the site isn't translatable, if someone familiar with doing translations and wordpress is around I'd be interested in talking to them about how to handle the site moving forward22:25
pleia2(or if anyone knows someone)22:26
pleia2..22:26
charlie-tcaHopefully, it will be easier to translate than drupal22:26

charlie-tcaGo ahead, micahg 22:33
micahgwe should try to get the defaults down this week so we can test drive them right after alpha3 (like next Monday maybe we can vote/decide/draw straws)22:34
micahg..22:34
charlie-tcasure thing22:34
charlie-tcaI would guess the biggest one is whether to replace gimp. 22:35
* astraljava can assist on that, if needed22:35
charlie-tcaGridCube: go ahead22:35
GridCubethats what i wanted to talk about, replacing gimp.22:35
charlie-tcasure22:35
GridCubei think the best idea yet is getting a superior replacement for ristretto22:35
GridCubemaking gimp superflous22:36
charlie-tcaThank you for the comparison chart22:36
charlie-tcaYou mean something for viewing, or something like shotwell or gthumb?22:36
GridCubeI'm thinking on dividing it now, one for viewers whit edition capabilities22:36
GridCubei guess shotwell and gthum 22:36
GridCubekind of programs should be the ones considered22:37
GridCubewhit media sharing capabilities would made them a huge plus22:37
GridCubethen having gimp, or not, wont matter anymore22:37
charlie-tcaI can agree with that. To better serve the current technology of today, we really should have something capable of photo viewing, downloading, and editing22:37
charlie-tcabut I still like gimp22:38
GridCubesure, but its for a single file working22:38
charlie-tcaany comments on adding a photo editor?22:38
beardygnomei like gimp too, but it think it is too much for the default22:38
charlie-tcawhich one is better, gthumb or shotwell?22:39
GridCubewill do a comparison chart for them22:39
charlie-tcaor something else? what do you people with cameras use?22:39
charlie-tcaThanks, GridCube 22:39
beardygnomeshotwell is more of a photo library like picasa than a photo viewer/editor22:39
GridCubewe need to come whit some "what do we want it to do" comparison points22:39
GridCubeyes i think that too22:40
beardygnomeso i'd say gthumb22:40
* astraljava always loved gthumb22:40
charlie-tcaDo we need a comparison chart then?22:40
beardygnomebut i use gpicview personally22:40
charlie-tcaoh22:40
GridCubei do use gpicview22:41
GridCubei would rather see it installed instead of ristretto, at least,22:41
charlie-tcamicahg: will we need a freeze exception to change seeds for this?22:41
beardygnomeGridCube: i remove ristretto as son as install xubuntu :-)22:42
astraljavaDidn't he say he had to leave?22:42
charlie-tcayes, but I was hoping 22:42
astraljavaBut I would think not, feature freeze is still a couple of weeks from now.22:42
charlie-tcaIt is the week after alpha322:42
astraljavaOh, so 1½ weeks from now?22:42
charlie-tcaGridCube: I think we can skip the comparison. I will discuss this with mr_pouit and micahg directly22:43
charlie-tcaastraljava: yes22:43
GridCubeok22:43
GridCubeI propose changing ristretto for gpicview should do it for now22:43
charlie-tcaAny negative votes on gpicview?22:43
astraljavaHow big dependency-line does it have?22:44
charlie-tcaabout 1022:44
astraljavaOh, not that big. Should fall within already-provided category.22:45
charlie-tcawe have them already22:45
astraljavaOnly 6, cool.22:45
charlie-tcaDoes gpicview allow cropping and resizing photos?22:45
beardygnomeno, it's just a viewer22:45
GridCubejust rotates them22:46
beardygnomebetter than ristretto, imo22:46
* charlie-tca thinks of the possiblity of keeping gimp and having gpicview22:46
charlie-tcaOkay, I will get with the devs on it then22:47
charlie-tcaanything else?22:47
GridCubenot from me :) Just thanks again to all of you for making xubuntu22:47
astraljavaSorry, still on the photo issue;22:47
charlie-tcaI have been working to revise the Xubuntu Strategy Document. It does a poor job of getting a new leader chosen.22:48
astraljavagpicview + gimp exceeds 5M, while gthumb is less than 1M (whatever size apt-cache gives)22:48
charlie-tcabut we have room22:48
astraljavaOh, okay. Carry on, then. :D22:48
astraljava..22:48
charlie-tcaIf the only reason to replace gimp is cd space, we have no issue22:48
charlie-tcaI have sent emails out to both mailing lists requesting comments on my proposed change to the Strategy Document. 22:49
GridCube:) im trying gthumb now and it can do everything needed on the chart, rotates, crops, changes formats etc...22:49
charlie-tcaIt gives clear guidance on how the next project leader will be selected.22:49
GridCubeI've read them, still i do not understand them :(22:50
charlie-tcaI am giving a two week comment period for it. I will publish the email again in one week22:50
charlie-tcaGridCube: the changes I propose?22:50
GridCubethe whole thing, its too technical and legalical22:50
charlie-tcayup22:51
charlie-tcawe have to keep it that way to cover the legal end of things22:51
GridCubeoh the new one is easier to read22:51
GridCube:D good luck whit that22:52
charlie-tcabasically, I am proposing that the launchpad team Xubuntu Users will elect the Project Lead by a simple vote22:52
charlie-tcaMajority of votes will win, second highest vote count will be interim lead if needed22:52
charlie-tcaOnly those people belonging to Xubuntu Users will be allowed to vote for the Project Lead22:53
GridCubeI see22:53
GridCube:) thanks for clearing that 22:53
charlie-tcaPlease send you comments by reply to the mailing lists, either for or against the change22:53
beardygnomecharlie-tca: that's a change to the current process, right?22:53
charlie-tcayes22:53
charlie-tcacurrent process is kind of sketchy.22:54
charlie-tcaCurrent process:22:54
charlie-tcaThe Xubuntu project lead serves a term of three releases after which he22:54
charlie-tcaor she must seek reconfirmation from the Xubuntu community via a public22:54
charlie-tcameeting. If consesus is unable to be found, the matter is referred to22:54
charlie-tcathe Ubuntu Community Council.22:54
charlie-tcaI think that leaves it pretty much difficult to follow22:55
charlie-tcaHow did that project lead get there in the first place?22:55
charlie-tcaAny questions?22:56
charlie-tcaGridCube: Are we wanting to compare gthumb and gpicview?22:56
GridCubeIf you wish, its pretty straight foward, gpicview can do 6 things, gthumb sevel dozens22:57
beardygnomei think that's like comparing apples and oranges....22:57
beardygnomegpicview is just a viewer22:57
GridCubethose 6 things gpicview does are pretty useful tho, it rotates images, and moves trough a directory, and saves formats you wish22:58
beardygnomei think we should compare gpicview with ristretto22:58
charlie-tcaokay, lets do it the comparison chart then22:58
charlie-tca[ACTION] GridCube to do comparison chart for gpicview, ristretto, gthumb22:58
GridCube:D will do it now22:58
charlie-tcaAnything else to discuss?22:59
charlie-tcaThank you all for attending this meeting. 22:59
GridCubebeardygnome, said something about oranges an apples, we should see about that :P22:59
charlie-tcaWe need participants to have a successful Xubuntu Operating System!22:59
charlie-tcaI tried comparing apples and oranges. Apples won here22:59
charlie-tcaI much prefer them over oranges23:00
GridCubeindeed, you cant make and orange pie, it just doesnt work23:00
charlie-tcaapples can be eaten after washing, oranges can not23:00
charlie-tcasorry, beardygnome 23:01
* charlie-tca just had to say it23:01
charlie-tcaanything else?23:01
knomewhy can't you wash oranges and then eat them?23:01
charlie-tcathe skin is kind of bitter23:01
knomebut it's edible23:01
charlie-tcadepends on what you are used to, I guess23:02
astraljavaSure, but it's used as a flavor in some dishes. :)23:02
knomeit is edible in theory at least23:02
charlie-tcaI have used it in cooking, but not raw23:02
beardygnomebetter in marmalade than on its own...23:02
knomei prefer apples anyway23:02
* astraljava too23:02
charlie-tcabeardygnome: apples win23:02
knomesome people think that even apples can't be eaten with the skin23:02
charlie-tcatrue, when I lived in Korea, we peeled everything23:03
charlie-tcaCan we close this meeting now?23:03
astraljava..23:03
charlie-tca#endmeeting23:03
charlie-tcanot to cut anyone off, but... 23:03
knomei was referring to the global, not the we're-in-korea-and-we-might-die-eating-the-apple-peel effect23:03
charlie-tcaoh, well, yeah, that too23:04
charlie-tcaYou want that included in the minutes?23:04
GridCubehahaha23:04
knomeif you please ;)23:04
charlie-tcaI can do that23:04
knomethanks, much appreciated23:04
charlie-tcano problem. 23:05
knomei think that might be one of the best of my contributions to that meeting23:05
charlie-tcaI didn't mean to cut you off, anyway23:05
knomeor any other meeting too23:05
charlie-tcaYes, I can see that being important23:05
astraljavaIt's really funny when you think about it. You really can't compare Apple(s) with Orange(s). The other is a hardware/software manufacturer, the other being an ISP.23:08
astraljavaAnd with that, I leave you baffled, completely mindblown. G'night!23:08
knomenight astraljava 23:09
charlie-tcaoh, I forgot. We need a news bulletin for alpha323:14
charlie-tcaplantoschka: can you?23:14
Unit193We going to have "And apples are better than oranges" in the meeting minutes? :P23:23
Unit193One after meeting question: Are we going to set a last join time to Xubuntu-Users where you will take votes? I.E. If I join the week of/day before voting, does it still count?23:25
madnicklightdm looks neat, looking at lightdm-gtk-greeter.c23:25
charlie-tcaUnit193: yes, we do not delete any comments from the logs23:28
charlie-tcaUnit193: yes, it still counts, since there is no specific time frame required23:29
micahgcharlie-tca: re FFe> eh, well, I'd venture to say no, but I'd probably ask anyways23:29
charlie-tcaThank you, micahg 23:29
charlie-tcaIf possible, madnick, we should not have to modify the actual files, but there should be a configuration file we can change to point at our own version of the greeter. 23:30
madnickoh okay23:30
charlie-tcaWe are using lightdm-greeter-gtk now, AFAIK23:30
charlie-tcaThat should be a config file, but I am not sure23:31
charlie-tcamadnick: at the same time, they did just make some changes to lightdm, and the old config got thrown out23:32
madnickbut, are the devs gonna do something to lightdm-greeter-gtk?23:32
madnickah23:33
charlie-tcaI don't know now. They changed the files this last week23:33
micahgwe would just seed our greeter instead of the one provided by lightdm23:35
micahgactually, it's lightdm-gtk-greeter now23:36
charlie-tcaSo we should have maybe lightdm-xubuntu-greeter?23:36
micahgif we want to make one23:36
charlie-tcamadnick: making sense?23:36
madnickYes, but it might not be needed, the greeter.ui seems fairly costumizable23:37
charlie-tcait is. We just want to make sure we don't modify the actual application, just the added greeter23:38
madnickyeah23:38
madnickokay, so this is a later issue then so i just keep testing the splash, charlie-tca have you tried it anymore?23:44
charlie-tcaNo, I don't know what to do to make it work23:45
charlie-tcaI get blank screens here, except on shutdown23:45
madnickJust with my theme?23:45
charlie-tcano, with the original theme and yours23:45
charlie-tcaI get the same no matter what I try23:46
madnicki had that issue here, when i was installing "manually", instead of running --install23:46
madnickIt may infact have been a coincident, it could've been something else I did in that process23:47
charlie-tcaYeah, I can't get a splash before I try anything23:48
madnickI've got it tested on alot of machines, but I still have no machine with cryptsetup, I tried in a VM, but I got that video error, i removed vga= and still got "incompatible license"23:49
charlie-tcaVM can't use plymouth properly. That is a fault of the VM itself23:50
charlie-tcaSince most Virtual Machines do not use the hardware video card, they don't use the frame buffer properly23:51
madnicki see23:53
madnickI wonder what the status quo of hardware virtualization is, i think soon these stuff should be possible, sure would make life easier 23:57
Unit193The only hardware I can test it on has 8xx chipset video card :/23:58
madnick:)23:59
