[10:35] <chrisccoulson> hmmm, that sucks. so, it seems that update-manager does not handle package conflicts at all (whereas apt-get upgrade does just fine)
[10:44] <knome> chrisccoulson, btw, what about the xubuntu-specific browser start page? :)
[10:44] <chrisccoulson> i don't really have time for that right now ;)
[10:46] <knome> yes, i know, but really, i've been bugging you about it the whole cycle, but you haven't replied
[10:48] <chrisccoulson> that's because i'm busy
[10:49] <knome> can you give me suggestion on how to get this going forward then?
[10:56] <knome> i'm taking any suggestions
[11:02] <chrisccoulson> i can't right now, i've got other stuff i need to do. and there are other non-technical issues with modifying the startpage
[11:02] <chrisccoulson> for starters, i'm not even sure you can redistribute it with a modified startpage
[11:04] <knome> once you have time, could you comment on our bug #332687 with all your doubts, and i'll try to deal this with somebody with time on their hands
[11:04] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 332687 in xubuntu-docs "Create a Xubuntu-specific browser start page" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/332687
[11:04] <knome> please?
[15:34] <chrisccoulson> knome, i've spoken to somebody in our legal department regarding startpage modifications for derivatives
[15:34] <chrisccoulson> basically, the startpage is considered part of the bundle that mozilla have approved us to distribute, and derivatives are free to distribute that too
[15:35] <chrisccoulson> but modifications to that require approval from mozilla, and that's not the sort of thing that canonical would do on behalf of a derivative
[15:36] <chrisccoulson> so, basically, you need to talk to somebody from mozilla if you want to change the default start page in xubuntu
[15:38] <knome> do you have any pointer who on mozilla would that be?
[15:39] <chrisccoulson> knome, not offhand. i would suggest having a look at http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/trademarks/policy.html
[15:39] <knome> okay, thanks.
[15:40] <chrisccoulson> trademarks@mozilla.com might be a good start
[15:40] <knome> if we get a permission from mozilla, where are we then?
[15:40] <knome> will you be able to help us to fix our start page at that point
[15:40] <chrisccoulson> yes
[15:40] <knome> thanks
[15:41] <knome> i'll paste this conversation to the bug if that's okay for you (starting from the beginning) ?
[15:42] <micahg> chrisccoulson: there's no problems with other apps using the startpage unchanged though, is there? (like midori or epiphany-browser)
[15:42] <chrisccoulson> knome, yeah, i think that's ok. the channel is logged anyway ;)
[15:43] <chrisccoulson> micahg, i'm not too sure what you mean :)
[15:43] <knome> thanks
[15:43] <chrisccoulson> micahg, you mean other apps using the same startpage as we use in firefox?
[15:44] <micahg> chrisccoulson: midori's start page is broke since we removed the old static page from ubuntu-docs
[15:44] <micahg> yes, use the same one as Firefox
[15:44] <chrisccoulson> yeah, that's fine
[16:03] <chrisccoulson> fantastic. after upgrading from 13.0a1 to 14.0a1, the restart button actually worked correctly
