Unit193daily-live is a no go for now (Build failed) daily installs for 32 following notes: Guest is back (working), we have user select (Unity-greeter with no bg), still need to select the second Xubuntu Session, all menu items are there!12:50
Unit193astraljava , gridcube , charlie-tca ^^^12:50
charlie-tcaum, daily-live has failed for three days. 12:51
charlie-tcaThere have been no new images since monday for it12:51
charlie-tcaUnit193: thanks for testing!12:52
Unit193So I shouldn't even bother reminding?12:52
Unit193charlie-tca: Figured I may as well give you all the info!12:52
charlie-tcayes, remind12:52
charlie-tcaIt is good to know someone else is trying them12:53
Unit193Warning: I may have missed a few errors as I was up all night (Isn't Retrieving file *** of 897 in alt install a bit high?)12:53
charlie-tcaoh, by the way. The desktop images are being built for today now12:54
charlie-tcamight be an hour or two until we get them.12:54
charlie-tcanah, that sounds about right12:55
Unit193Hope this helps a little more (Know what you're getting into?)12:55
charlie-tcaIt does. I missed part of that when I looked here12:59
charlie-tcaand, jibel was able to find the issue with encrypted /home, too. Now that bug will get worked!13:01
Unit193So, am I supposed to run that too?13:03
Unit193Or is there a way to add it after install :P13:03
charlie-tcano!13:21
charlie-tcaat this time, there is no way to add users to LVM installs, encrypted or otherwise13:21
charlie-tcaWe have to wait for a fix.13:22
charlie-tcasorry, I didn't mean to yell13:22
Unit193Eh, it's fine. Just as long as you're not mad at me ;P13:23
charlie-tcaNo, I am not mad at you. I am glad you tested the alternates :)13:24
Unit193Didn't think you were, you would tell me. Maybe I should run with encryption on /home this round13:25
charlie-tcaI don't think that is a good idea yet13:28
charlie-tcagive it a day or two, see what the bug does first. The drives I tried it on, I could not use any of the previous installs to log back in.13:29
charlie-tcatwo hard drives in two systems, lost everything on both drives in both systems13:29
charlie-tcaFeatureFreeze in 5 hours13:31
charlie-tcaAll Packagers ^ ^ ^13:31
madnickdoes that apply to plymouth / greeter packages?13:35
charlie-tcaWe will get an exception for the greeter. Plymouth is taken care of already13:38
madnickcharlie-tca: we have an exception for plymouth? or did someone package the old version? 13:39
charlie-tcaWe can use the old version, it has been there since ??? as far as I know13:40
charlie-tcaIf not, we ask for the exception. No problem13:40
madnickokay13:40
charlie-tcamadnick: if need be, we stick things in the artwork updates, but we will get those in14:01
Unit193ERROR WHILE BUILDING OFFICIAL IMAGES !!"14:04
madnickcharlie-tca: ah okay :)14:20
gridcubehttp://gridcube.netii.net/test.htm14:23
gridcubeI made myself a freewebhosting site and added the top 10 there :D14:24
gridcubewell top 5 so far14:24
charlie-tcameeting minutes are out, too, now15:12
charlie-tcamadnick: robert ancell is back on holidays, now that the summit is over. He might be back in another week.15:15
madnickhopefully, there won't be any changes made that effects greeters in a massive way15:23
charlie-tcaum, yeah... other than the actual configuration keeps changing every day or two15:42
charlie-tcabut, hey, what's a little thing like changing the way it works, right?15:43
charlie-tcaGot hopes they will quit changing things starting today, and work on just making it work.15:44
astraljavaUnit193: Yeah, I don't really have time to test this week, it seems. We're busy with a bitchy-ass hungarian testing our friggin' software.15:45
Unit193astraljava: Just pinging you because you're one of us :P Great to hear of the other meeting though!15:46
madnickNot sure why Ubuntu is pushing out software so fast, software thats not even really done :)15:48
madnickLike LightDM, Plymouth and Unity15:48
charlie-tcaSuch things happen15:48
madnickIts bound to be hard for distros building upon ubuntu15:48
charlie-tcaum, yes, it is very hard for those of us outside the main Ubuntu stuff to try and keep making things work15:49
charlie-tcamadnick: as seen by how often Ubuntu works and Mythbuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, UbuntuStudio won't?15:51
Unit193Kubuntu is using KDM and Lubuntu is using LXDM so that cuts out quite a few issues15:53
madnickYeah15:53
charlie-tcaThey are using those because lightdm won't work for them15:53
charlie-tcaThey do plan on using lightdm, though15:54
charlie-tcaThey are waiting for Xubuntu to get the kinks out first :)15:54
madnickWas oschii going to be away the entire week btw?15:55
charlie-tcayup15:56
charlie-tcaor was it two weeks?15:56
madnickoh15:56
charlie-tcamicahg, mr_pouit, all other devs: Consider the Feature Freeze time adjusted to 2100 UTC.15:57
Unit193Last chance to dump LightDM?15:58
charlie-tcaheh, no need. gdm is still there, just have to change things around and muck with it to make it work, since they upgraded it to gnome315:59
Unit193GTK3 or Gnome3?16:00
charlie-tcaum, both, I think16:00
charlie-tcaIt means it won't "just work"  for xubuntu, you have to work hard to make it usable for us.16:00
Unit193Heh, not harder than LightDM16:01
Unit193Anywho, it was a joke16:01
charlie-tcatossup lol!16:01
Unit193I found it odd that KDM worked better than Slim or LXDM with no config16:02
Unit193In Xubuntu oneiric16:02
charlie-tcaKeep that one in mind, we might need it yet16:03
micahgcharlie-tca: thanks16:32
=== gridcube is now known as GridCube
charlie-tcaUnit193: being in -ops doesn't mean I can remember things :(18:14
charlie-tcaEvery time I try to change one of those things, I have to go find how again18:14
Unit193charlie-tca: That's fine, I was asking for follow up. I get to learn on a bot that has Ubottu Encyclopedia18:14
Unit193Ping me if you wish18:15
charlie-tcaheh, That's a deal!18:15
charlie-tcaI only been doing this IRC thing for about three years, I guess it takes time to learn18:15
Unit193And there is about 7M type of IRC bots :P18:16
charlie-tcaOh, great18:16
Unit193I can name Supybot, DarkBot, Eggdrop, rbot, and limnoria just off the top of my head18:20
charlie-tcaWell, that certainly makes it more difficult.18:22
charlie-tcaI just need to learn these things ubuntu uses18:22
astraljavamadnick: The way I see it, Ubuntu, while creating a pretty friggin' huge buzz, still somehow knows how not to take itself too seriously. If you know what I mean?18:24
charlie-tca+118:25
astraljavaLike not taking the safe, secure way, leaning against the tried and true software.18:25
Unit193http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Encyclopedia18:25
astraljavaPersonally, I'm a huge fan of it.18:25
charlie-tcaI am starting to see some benefits of not running "the latest and breaking-est"18:27
charlie-tcaMaybe I been running broken too long?18:27
astraljavaWell, sure, that takes on ya, but that's why you have the stable machine for, right? :)18:39
charlie-tcahuh? stable machine?18:52
charlie-tcaThat's what is missing/18:52
charlie-tca?18:52
charlie-tcaIsn't that what I use for at least a month every release?18:53
astraljavaOh okay. :)18:54
astraljavaI have 6 desktops, plus the laptop, so I have one stable desktop, and the others are for different tests. The laptop is from work, so it's gotta be more or less stable.18:54
astraljavaBut since I don't really store much data on it, it doesn't really matter whether it gets b0rked and reinstalled periodically.18:55
charlie-tcaYeah, I could see that. I tend to run the development versions from about alpha1. 18:55
charlie-tcaAbout the time I think I found something I like, it breaks18:56
astraljavaYeah, that sucks.18:58
charlie-tcaI have to think it might help sometimes, but other times, it ain't so much fun.18:59
astraljavaOh it ain't fun. As soon as we're done with the projects at work that we're battling now, I'm reinstalling, and going with Xubuntu. The vanilla 11.04 sucks 4$$.19:02
charlie-tcaI had no idea. I just keep trying with this one19:03
charlie-tcaAlthough oneiric has been so much fun, I may have to reinstall when we hit beta2, just to see what I really have19:04
astraljavaYeah, good plan.19:21
=== micahg_ is now known as micahg
micahgdo we need a new version of anything before feature freeze?20:48
Unit193I may have missed it, but midori is for sure not going in I would guess20:48
charlie-tcamicahg: That happens in 4 minutes20:57
micahgUnit193: huh?  I updated midori to 0.4.0 already20:57
charlie-tcaDebian been doing about 30-40 updates in the last two days on bugs20:57
micahgcharlie-tca: doesn't matter much, I'm notorious for FFes ;)20:57
charlie-tcaGreat! We will have our share. Lightdm still has changes being done today20:58
charlie-tcaand robert ancell is on holidays for at least the next week20:58
micahgcharlie-tca: did you like that bug I filed last night?20:58
charlie-tcayeah, I thought it was good20:58
charlie-tcaI wish they would quit closing them just because they fixed unity, though20:59
Unit193I'm a little confused, Midori is currently in daily? It's not from the install this morning...21:04
micahgno, charlie-tca said we don't need it21:05
Unit193Alright, that's what I thought21:05
charlie-tcaWe didn't add it by default21:05
micahgyeah, that's what I meant :)21:05
micahgwe can make another meta upload still if something else is missing21:05
charlie-tcaDid we get pastebinit in?21:06
micahgyep, recommends on desktop, wasn't sure if you wanted it in -desktop or live only21:07
* Unit193 just looked before :P21:07
charlie-tcaWanted it in the installed stuff, since that's when we need it most21:09
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #xubuntu-devel to: Xubuntu Development | Oneiric Ocelot Feature Freeze in effect | #xubuntu for support | Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule | Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu | Xubuntu Community meeting 2011-08-14 at 22:00 UTC | All Oneiric Desktop images are broken
madnickback on sundays?21:11
charlie-tcaAlternates mondays and sundays21:12
madnickoh okay21:12
Unit193I'm sure you can't have something installed by defualt with --no-install-recommends ?21:14
Unit193alacarte could be handy, but it recommends Unity and friends21:15
charlie-tcaBy the time this "not a developer" learns all this stuff, I won't need it any more.21:16
charlie-tcaalacarte depends on gnome-menu directly21:16
charlie-tcawhich breaks it bad for Xubuntu21:16
micahgwhich is why we don't see it :)21:16
micahg*seed21:16
Unit193--no-install-recommends got me just alacarte and nothing else in oneiric21:17
charlie-tcaand it actually works?21:17
Unit193Oddly, yes. Need a screenshot?21:18
charlie-tcano, it failed when I tried that21:18
Unit193Used to for me also http://ubuntuone.com/p/19oo/21:19
* micahg thought it required gnome-menus21:24
charlie-tcaIt does21:24
charlie-tcaat least according to the Debian bug report21:25
charlie-tcaUnit193: you running a xubuntu install with nothing added from gnome?21:25
Unit193Look at terminal in the bg21:25
Unit193Anyway, it's a recommends21:26
charlie-tcaMaybe it got changed after the last round 21:28
Unit193I dunno, I just tried it :/21:28
charlie-tcaThat was a pretty mean battle last time. Maybe...21:29
charlie-tcaIf it works, at least we can users to install it that way21:30
Unit193Yeah, it's not needed, but it can be helpful21:30
charlie-tcaSome users really want to be able to edit the menus21:32
