knomemicahg, (or editing userchrome)15:39
knome(that at least makes the text a bit more readable)15:39

knomeno meeting has been announced16:09
knomebah16:09

astraljavaOh okay, yeah I now recall the change in the schedules.16:15
knomemadnick, wb17:19
madnickthanks!17:19
micahgknome: yes, I have to report a bug to mozilla, they said they'd fix it18:48
micahgknome: no meeting?  are we doing alpha 1?18:49
* madnick also wonders about meeting, but thinks its in 1½ hours?19:17
=== micahg_ is now known as micahg
ochosiso i guess we won't have a meeting in 5min?20:55
* madnick pokes knome 20:57
ochosi:)20:57
ochosithink he's not here20:57
madnickI think he said, last time, that we would have a meeting today20:59
ochosihm, i thought he said he'd have friends over tonight21:01
madnickYes, he does21:03
madnickBut he said: "knomecan we just postpone to next week?" :P21:03
Unit193[11:09:17] < knome> i'm not sure i can make it tomorrrow21:05
Unit193Looks like he also had wrong day21:05
madnick:P21:05
ochosiwe can also do some kind of informal meeting :)21:11
ochosiwhat've you all been up to?21:11
ochosi(knome will read the backlog anyway)21:12
madnickyes21:12
madnicki suppose that would be good21:13
ochosik, well madnick why don't you start with a quick update on your recent tasks (lightdm-settings-ui and greeter-theme)?21:14
madnickOkay21:15
madnickThe greeter implements 90% of all functionallity available, the themeing library is also comming along nicely21:16
madnickThe settings UI, is ~done, that is, we need to discuss if people shall be able to change their pictures from the GUI21:16
madnickAs for the theme itself, it does everything that is currently handed out to me :P21:17
madnick..21:17
ochosi:)21:18
ochosiyeah, just a quick update from upstream-xfce21:18
ochosia user-settings UI is in the works21:18
ochosipeople will also be able to change their avatars there21:18
ochosiso maybe better keep it there than in lightdm-settings21:18
ochosisince it's global21:19
madnickWill we get that in time?21:19
ochosigood question21:19
ochositbh i don't know21:19
ochosithere is no ETA yet21:19
ochosibut i don't think that it'd be a very complicated thing to do21:20
ochosiso it's possible, but not sure21:20
madnickIt feels like it would be very good to keep it separated, but on the other hand, if people can't change it, except for manually, its not good21:20
ochosiyes, i mean if you don't feel you're wasting your time implementing it now and possibly dropping it later...21:20
ochosi(this is the wiki-page for all of you who are interested: http://wiki.xfce.org/design/xfce4-settings/useraccounts )21:21
madnickThat pretty much outdates the entire GUI, since it will have a setting for autologin21:21
madnickWhich was the main idea for the settings GUI21:22
ochosii'm not sure that setting will work for lightdm21:22
ochosidepends on what the accountservice package can do21:23
ochosifurthermore: a gui to change the lightdm-greeter-theme is still valuable in itself21:23
madnickThat is true21:23
ochosithis is more meant as a simplified replacement of users-admin21:23
ochosiwithout all the group-settings etc. that users-admin gives you21:24
ochosinot even sure i'd ditch users-admin for it, since this is just simple and basic21:24
* micahg guesses there will be no xubuntu alpha 121:24
ochosihm, why's that?21:25
ochosiand: would we need it?21:25
micahgsince we're not planning21:25
micahgwell, would be nice21:25
ochosimhm21:25
ochosiwhat would have to be done in terms of planning?21:26
madnickPerhaps we could put that on the ML21:26
madnickas urgent21:26
ochosiyeah, not a bad idea21:26
micahgwe need people committing to test basically, I don't think charlie was planning for an alpha 1 which is why we're not ready for it21:26
ochosiok, so basically we need testers21:27
ochosiwhere's GridCube?21:27
ochosianyone else here who can test?21:27
madnickFrom what I understand, we are supposed to use a new testing software21:27
micahgI brought this up last week and thought that a community meeting would be the best forum to discuss/plan for alpha121:27
madnickhttp://91.189.93.73/21:28
ochosimhm21:28
madnickAnd I don't know how to use that21:28
micahgthat's the new ISO tracker21:28
madnickYes, but also for daily testing21:28
ochosimicahg: do you know how it works?21:28
micahgno, not really21:28
ochosihm, o21:28
ochosik21:28
ochosiso i guess we need to fgure out how it works and find people who are willing to work with it21:29
micahgseems like a lot to do in 3 days21:30
ochosiyes, i guess so21:30
ochosibut we can still give it a shot21:30
madnickWould be nice to get a green light on what to do :P21:30
ochosiwould you be willing to write the message to the ML explaining the basics?21:30
ochosiyeah, but i'm not sure knome would oppose this. i mean the only reason not to try is if we think our chances are too bad to even try21:31
ochosii'd say it's a bit up to you micahg 21:33
micahgsorry, I have enough things to do this week already, I can try to fix bugs if they come up21:35
ochosiok, no problem21:35
ochosii'll talk to knome later when he's around again and we'll see whether we'll send out an email to the ML about this or just skip alpha121:35
ochosimicahg: about the thunderbird bug that knome mentioned earlier, how would you say our chances are that this gets fixed in time for precise?21:37
ochosi(just to know whether we should prepare ugly workarounds)21:37
micahgochosi: pretty good, probably by alpha 2 if I get around to filing it :)21:37
ochosiok :)21:37
ochosisounds good21:37
ochosimicahg: any other updates from your side?21:39
micahgnope21:39
ochosimr_pouit: are you here? if yes, any updates from your side?21:39
ochosik, i guess that's a no :)21:43
ochosiedii: any news on the menu-bookmark-editor?21:43
micahgmr_pouit did a xfce4-timer-plugin merge :)21:44
ochosioh nice :)21:44
ochosibtw, it would be nice if some of you could test the datetime-plugin from the shimmer ppa to see what you think about replacing the current panel-clock with it21:45
madnickI'm sorry, I have to go for a while, it is urgent.21:45
ochosi(it mainly contains a small patch to hide the border and resize-grip, other than that it's the same as in the ubuntu repos)21:45
ochosik, see you madnick 21:45
ochosipleia2: any updates on the next website sprint or the website in general?21:46
Unit193ochosi: I think I can as I'm using it now (on Natty though)21:49
ochosiUnit193: would you say it's a good replacement for the current implementation?21:50
Unit193xfce4-datetime-plugin21:50
ochosiyes21:50
Unit193ochosi: I like it far better!21:50
ochosiok, good to know :)21:50
ochosihave you seen how it'd look with greybird?21:50
Unit193Only thing, when I click back to terminal, I'd like for it to close, not go under terminal21:50
ochosimhm21:51
Unit193ochosi: I have not, but I suppose if I must ;)21:51
ochosibest to file a bugreport about that upstream21:51
ochosiUnit193: no you don't have to ;)21:51
ochosii just gave it a dark look21:51
ochosito look more like the indicators and other stuff that pops up from the panel21:51
Unit193I'll check anyway, PPA link/name?21:51
ochosihmm, i'm afraid the package is only for oneiric... https://launchpad.net/~shimmerproject/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=natty21:52
ochositheoretically you could download the package and just install it21:52
ochosidon't think it'd break anything21:53
Unit193Done that more times than I'd like to admit, but I try not to break things21:53
ochosihttps://launchpad.net/~shimmerproject/+archive/ppa21:53
ochosiok :)21:53
ochosiwell i can alternatively also show you a screenshot if you like21:53
Unit193Well, I take it you can't build for natty? (I'm going to download the deb)21:54
ochosinot really, mr_pouit built the package ;)21:54
Unit193Awww... It removed my time :/21:57
Unit193(Settings)21:58
ochosiyou mean it removed the settings?21:58
ochosiright21:58
ochosisorry to hear..21:58
ochosii'm using this btw: %a %d %b %R21:58
Unit193I had something close to that, have it on two computers (So I can get it back soon, use that for now)21:59
ochosiok21:59
Unit193Anything else?21:59
ochosinot from my side21:59
ochosibtw, have you used the testing-site linked to earlier?22:00
Unit193Looked at it once22:00
Unit193Only issue, can't login :P22:03
knomeyeah, i think any kind of informal and even impromptu meetings are great, if you give any updates though, add them to the teamreports so we can forward them to ubuntu-release with madnick :)22:09
Sysiwould it be too late to discuss including pavucontrol to default installation? I could file some bugs with lacky pulseaudio control..22:12
knomeisn't that included in oneiric?22:12
knomeor is it again one of those things we planned, but nobody told lionel to add it to seeds?22:13
SysiI don't have it..22:13
knomeright22:13
knomemr_pouit, !!22:13
micahgno, we decided against it since it seemed to be not needed22:20
micahgwe already have the xfce4-mixer22:20
Sysino way to select sound output device which is basically reason to have pulseaudio in the first place22:21
knomemicahg, is pavucontrol big?22:22
micahgSysi: xfce4-mixer does that22:24
Sysimicahg: oh, I should test it (more)22:24
SysiI think nobody at #xubuntu has ever mentioned it22:24
micahgknome: by itself it's 150k, not sure about the libraries it uses though22:24
micahgthe only thing pavucontrol does that xfce4-mixer doesn't is to redirect audio streams which makes sense for Ubuntu Studio, but not us22:28
SysiI'd say this is good news, gotta check it out22:29
Sysi..if I can use two soundcards22:30
micahgAFAIK, it should work22:30
knomemmh22:30
micahgbut if not, let us know22:30
Sysijust by selecting device in xfce4-mixer?22:30
knomethere seems to be problems with devices22:30
micahgwell, if we have test cases, let22:31
micahgs get bugs filed, we're at the beginning of the cycle22:31
SysiI can only test till january and even now limitedly..22:33
Sysiis ubuntu-bug good way to report bugs or is something more manual better?22:34
SysiI haven't checked out ubuntu-bug yet though22:35
micahgubuntu-bug is better22:37
