micahg\o/ oneiric lightdm doesn't work without unity greeter :P17:11
pleia2oh dear17:11
madnickcharlie said we are gonna use the unity greeter, but modified to display sessions in the panel17:14
micahgmadnick: hmm, why not use the GTK greeter modifieD>17:15
micahgunity greeter depends on libindicate17:15
madnickmicahg: I wanted to make a modified gtk greeter17:15
madnickbut charlie wanted the unity one17:16
micahgeh, I suppose that we have the dependency already17:16
madnickwhen i looked at the unity greeter source17:16
madnickeverything was pretty much hardcoded17:16
madnicki do not like that17:16
micahgright17:17
madnickthe only things missing from the unity greeter in xubuntu is some stock icons, a bg and moving the session list to the panel17:18

charlie-tcaXubuntu community meeting in #xubuntu-devel in 64 minutes. Everyone is invited to attend. Agenda is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings20:56
charlie-tcalive session auto-login works using today's images.21:08
charlie-tcaThank you! whoever made that work. We also only have two sessions today, xfce and xubuntu.21:08
* micahg thinks that was mr_pouit's upload of xubuntu-defailt-settings21:11
micahgbut unity-greeter is needed to login now :(21:11
charlie-tcaEven the encrypted whole drive install worked21:11
charlie-tcaIs that what we got now?21:12
charlie-tcamadnick is going to fix that, right?21:12
micahgno21:12
charlie-tcano? unity-greeter?21:12
micahgwell, we have lightdm-gtk-greeter seeded and I had seb128 fix the recommends so we would get the gtk greeter again, but unity-greeter seems to be hardcoded now21:12
charlie-tcamadnick is building us a xubuntu-greeter21:12
charlie-tcaI see21:13
charlie-tcaseems like every step forward pushes us back again21:13
* micahg isn't sure if we're just missing a conf file or if it's not customizable21:13
charlie-tcaI think we are missing a conf file. We are supposed to be able to replace unity-greeter with our own 21:14
charlie-tcaThe difference from Friday's images to todays images is big! We got things working, at least21:14
micahgwell, I can't look into it today, I need to catch up on work, I should be around for the meeting though21:15
charlie-tcaOkay21:15
charlie-tcaI was going to skip today, but I guess I will be around too21:15
charlie-tcamicahg: no, unity-greeter can not be hard coded. seb128 been following our lightdm bugs closely, and has assured me we can put our own settings in now and over-ride Ubuntu settings21:20
charlie-tcaI am seeing a different login screen today than friday, too. It has the old gdm user list centered on a dark blue background, instead of the all black background with the names offset to the left.21:42
charlie-tcamicahg: unity-greeter Installed: (none) 21:43
charlie-tcafresh install using today's image21:44
charlie-tcaapt-cache policy lightdm-gtk-greeter Installed: 0.9.3-0ubuntu321:46
micahgyeah21:46
micahgI guess something's not right with my install then21:46
charlie-tcaYeah, friday's images were bad, too, for that. They were using unity-greeter21:47
charlie-tcaThe problem is, when they change these files around, they do not fix the "already installed" user base files21:48

charlie-tca* GridCube to put together the "TOP 10" for Xubuntu - In-work22:04
charlie-tcaGridCube: update on this?22:04
micahg[15:49] <GridCube> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HyhsMPDyyN-mRWRujfZX3JuKX9aWFQPWsxMEiJX99gQ/edit?hl=es22:04
charlie-tcaVery nice! Thanks for working on those, GridCube 22:05
charlie-tcaThank you for the link, micahg 22:05
charlie-tca * madnick to look into building a lightdm greeter - In-work22:05
GridCube:) ok22:05
charlie-tcamadnick: update? 22:05
GridCubei meant, you are welcome22:05
madnickWell22:05
charlie-tcaIf you haven't heard yet, today's images are the ones to grab to see how lightdm is working for us22:05
madnickIm not sure, because you told me that we should pretty much use the unity greeter 22:06
charlie-tcaWe no longer have unity-greeter, but are using lightdm-gtk-greeter today22:06
ChristopherNGhello22:06
charlie-tcaoh, confusion then?22:06
charlie-tcahello, ChristopherNG 22:06
madnickWell, the confusing is, should i modify that22:07
madnickOr should I wait for final words :)22:07
charlie-tcamadnick: if it is easier to take unity-greeter and rebuild it for us, you can do that. If it is easier to write your own, that is fine too22:07
charlie-tcaI leave it up to you. I will be happy with either solution.22:07
charlie-tcaI just don't want a stupid gear to click for sessions22:08
madnickWell, I can do either, I just need a good theme, Im working on a draft, but i really like knome or oschi to tell me where they stand on the matter22:08
madnickI know knome wanted to center the unity greeters login box22:09
madnickAnd I know you wanted to move / fix the session stuff22:09
charlie-tcaOkay. That will be fine. Seeing that we just got something to work with, we should be able to get freeze exceptions to get it in, if we really need them.22:09
madnickOkay :)22:10
madnick..22:10
charlie-tcaWhat do you think would be best? offset or centered?22:10
madnickIm not sure, I like the current style of it22:10
madnickThe positions*22:10
micahgUI freeze is in a week and a half22:11
charlie-tcaThen you can put them there. We can change it if the users hate it for the next release.22:11
madnickOkay, ill set that up in the week that follows22:11
charlie-tcaPress on, put the list where you like it, but give me a sessions text please.22:11
charlie-tcaIf knome don't like it, well, we can work with him on that. But I think you have a good grasp on it, and will let you build it for this release. 22:12
charlie-tcaGo for it, please22:13
madnickokay, thanks :)22:13
charlie-tcaAny other comments or questions on old business?22:13
ChristopherNGHello, I hate to say something because im very new here, I was actually at the last meeting but remained silent.22:13
charlie-tcago ahead22:13
ChristopherNGI would like to confirm if xubuntu has an "add monitor" button like ubuntu and if not will it ever add one?22:13
charlie-tcawhere would it be?22:14
ChristopherNGdisplay settings22:14
ChristopherNGi see it in ubuntu, never seen it for xubuntu22:14
charlie-tcaNever seen it, maybe it is something from gnome instead of gtk22:14
charlie-tcaWe will not have one unless Xfce adds one to the settings panel22:15

charlie-tcamr_pouit: Your turn, please22:16
charlie-tcamicahg: Got an update?22:17
micahglast week we got a few updates from Debian22:17
micahgmr_pouit uploaded a new xubuntu settings package22:17
micahgwe still have a couple of transitions to do (dh_python2 and libssl)22:18
charlie-tcaWe have pastebinit seeded, right?22:18
micahgyep22:18
charlie-tcaand the big questions, a few bugs still to work on:22:18
micahgwe're at 700MB onthe i386 live ISO ATM22:18
charlie-tcaBug #799754 Please let vendors easily provide their own config22:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 799754 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Please let vendors easily provide their own config" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79975422:18
charlie-tcaIs this fixed for us now?22:18
micahgidk22:19
charlie-tcaBug #799514 xubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't contain Java - non-default repository22:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 799514 in ubuntu-restricted-extras (Ubuntu) "xubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't contain Java" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79951422:19
charlie-tcajava is part of partners now, I don't know if we can add it to the package22:19
charlie-tcasince partners is not enabled by default22:19
micahgso, there are 2 parts, right, adding sun-java is complicated for that reason22:20
charlie-tcaright22:20
micahgopenjdk is in there right now though22:20
charlie-tcayes22:20
micahgUbuntu can't seed openjdk due to space22:20
charlie-tcaSo we should be able to sign that bug off with that 22:20
charlie-tcaWe are close on space again. 386 desktop is now 700mb22:21
micahgcharlie-tca: well, in theory, I guess we could at least suggest a partner package in xubuntu-restricted-extras, I didn't ask about that specifically22:21
charlie-tcaIf partner is not turned on by default, the user will have to specifically add it or we will get a broken package report, won't we?22:22
micahghmm, I don't think so, on a suggests it for sure won't be a problem, gmusicbrowser suggests a package we dropped from the archive22:22
charlie-tcawait, if we provide openjdk, we don't need to provide sun java also22:23
madnick\o22:23
charlie-tcaWe give the user one of those, not both22:23
charlie-tcago ahead, madnick 22:23
madnickopenjdk cannot really measure with sun-java22:23
micahgwell, openjdk is already in the restricted-addons package, the question was to actually see it or not, the reporter thought that sun-java made more sense in a restricted addons metapakcage22:23
micahgs/see/seed/22:23
charlie-tcabut it is considered a valid open source replacement22:24
charlie-tcamicahg: that is wishlist then. I don't think we should seed sun java.22:24
micahgno, we wouldn't seed sun-java, we could seed openjdk if we had the space and desire to though22:24
charlie-tcaYes, let's get things settled down, and see if that is possible. 22:25
charlie-tcaIf we don't get it for Oneiric, that's not a problem, though.22:25
charlie-tcaand, my last bug:22:26
charlie-tcaBug #789333 users-admin crashes on start because of mixed GTK2 and 3 symbols - we are the fix team if we plan to use this for the gui settings.22:26

charlie-tcaIf we aren't fixing this, we need to remove menu item22:26
charlie-tcamr_pouit: any comment on this?22:27
micahgwell, if we can't remove the dependency on the ported to GTK3 libraries, we'd have to drop it in favor of something else (if it exists)22:27
charlie-tcayup22:27
micahgor upload another copy of the GTK2 versions of those libs22:28
charlie-tcaIf nothing else exists, then users will have to use the CLI22:28
charlie-tcaAny other comments or questions for Development?22:29
micahgmythbuntu, ubuntustudio, and lubuntu are all in the same boat, we should probably have a collective meeting about it22:29
charlie-tcaGood idea, but that takes you and mr_pouit, right?22:29
* astraljava would probably attend as well22:30
micahg+ gilir, superm1, scottl22:30
charlie-tcaoh, and let's not forget, astraljava would like to help with development too22:30
charlie-tcaOkay, who is going to set that up?22:31
micahghmm, I probably should I guess22:32
charlie-tca[ACTION] micahg will set up meeting with derivatives to decide what to do with bug 78933322:32

meetingologyTOPIC: ==== Bug Triage & Testing ====22:33
charlie-tcaWe got working images!22:33
charlie-tcaVery hard to test things when we don't get images all week22:34
charlie-tcatoday's images appear to be working fully. 22:34
charlie-tcaAny body that can test these this next week, please do so. We need to find out now what is working and what is broken.22:34
charlie-tcamadnick: is plymouth ready to add to the images?22:35
madnickcharlie-tca: yes and no:22:35
madnickoschi did not like it 100% knome said he'd think of something, but i have not recvied any word on it22:35
charlie-tcaokay22:35
charlie-tcaWe got to have that next week22:36
charlie-tcaI can't throw a new plymouth out for final, and then find out it don't work for most users 22:36
madnickperhaps we could get people to look into what they think22:36
madnickOh, it works technically22:36
madnickIts artistically they dont like it22:36
madnickwell, "Not like", they wanted to change the progress bar22:37
charlie-tcaWell, I would lean more to what ochosi thought at this point. 22:37
madnickProblem is that ochosi is away22:37
charlie-tcaokay, let's wait for them to do something. If we don't get them to decide, though, it may wind up waiting for the next release.22:38
madnickOkay, it be too bad, because its just a little detail :(22:39
charlie-tcayes, but a little detail is holding it up for at least two weeks already, right?22:39
madnickYes, unfortunetly22:39
charlie-tcaI still can't get it to work here, except for shutdown22:39
madnickWell, that is a plymouth problem, in that plymouth application itself, not sure if there is anything to do about that22:40
madnickThe script I wrote works on all machines that usually get a splash22:40
madnickWe are several versions behind on plymouth also22:41

charlie-tcaOkay, try and get those two artists to give you something. I need this plymouth package ready by the next meeting22:43
madnickokay22:44
charlie-tcaI think ochosi is back Monday, but I am unsure22:44
