nonauI've been testing the Beta disk of Xubuntu Pangolin as a live user.   I've noticed improvements in video, especially in full screen.  The incremental improvements are quite welcome.05:38
nonauI have noticed an artifact on the lower right hand corner in of the screen however.  Is this just my hardware using the open ati drivers or is it a known issue like the resize handle in the last development series?05:40
nonauI also see that the notification area applet is greyed out.  Is this a design decision or a bug?05:48
pleia2nonau: thanks for doing testing :) unfortunately you caught us while most of the devs are sleeping06:01
pleia2(and I'm almost there myeslf!)06:02
nonaupleia2:  You're quite welcome.   It is indeed unfortunate timing then. 06:02
pleia2nonau: I'd suggest submitting bugs in both cases, I'm not sure as to the answer to either question06:03
nonaupleia2: Are there any logs in particular which I should consider attaching then?  I've got some free time to do it now.06:06
pleia2nonau: perhaps a screenshot for both to demonstrate what you're talking about?06:07
pleia2I'm not sure beyond that06:07
nonauAlright, thank you.06:09
pleia2sure, sorry I couldn't be more helpful :)06:09
nonaubugs reported per request06:52
ochosimeh, where are those bugreports, i can't find them...09:00
ochosipleia2: feel free to ping me whenever you're up on the audio-stuff :)09:00
knomewhen wife goes to work, i could look at the stuff too (just updated the laptop to most recent stuff yesterday)09:47
ochosicool09:47
ochosibtw, are you one of those lp-wizards who could find the bugs reported by nonau earlier?09:47
knomei also have a popping sound from the speakers (probably something to do with power issues and the soundcard going off/on)09:47
knomei think i should look into that too...09:47
ochosiyeah, would be good to get that sorted for the lts09:47
knomethat's probably about the hardware though09:48
ochosiyeah, could be09:48
knomemost likely is09:48
knomethere isn't almost a single hardware piece in that laptop that worked OOTB :P09:48
ochosipff :)09:49
knomeyeah.09:49
ochosii guess then i can call myself lucky, because for my dell everything always worked ootb09:49
knomeyup09:49
knomewell, i suppose dell is better than most09:49
ochosiyeah, that cooperation between them and canonical at least bore that fruit09:49
ochosi(even if not financial revenue for canonical)09:50
knome;)09:50
technology_so i noticed you guys changed the logo on a single person's vote10:18
technology_here's a discussion about it10:19
technology_http://boards.4chan.org/g/res/2364552110:19
technology_oh and here's a new one10:19
technology_http://i.imgur.com/madsR.png10:19
technology_although the old one was definitely best10:19
technology_well that's all i have to say10:19
ochositechnology_: hi10:20
technology_hi10:21
ochosithere is quite a lot of trolling noise in that discussion tbh10:21
technology_anonymity brings honesty10:21
ochosii think you missed my point10:22
ochosibut anyway, the meetings are open10:22
ochosiso basically if you (or anyone else from that discussion on 4chan) wanted to attend it and vote, there would've been no stopping you10:22
technology_it's a messed up procedure to vote on important things at an IRC meeting at a certain time and date10:22
technology_should be a poll somewhere else10:23
technology_it passed by one vote, that makes no sense10:23
ochosiyeah, we discussed that again after that meeting10:23
ochosithe meeting procedure is one point of the argument, and i agree that should be re-thought10:23
technology_as should all votes that came from it..even a 12 hour window or 24 hour window for user input is more fair10:24
technology_imagine if we changed the american flag on the basis of one vote10:24
ochositbh there are hardly any design decisions in this distribution that are based on user input10:24
ochosi(i'm speaking mainly about artwork now)10:25
ochosithe main reason for that being that there is hardly any feedback10:25
technology_there's hardly any feedback due to the convoluted meeting structure10:25
technology_just finding this channel was a maze10:25
knomethis channel isn't exactly hidden10:26
ochosithis, of course, can in part be blamed on us because we're probably not providing a good enough way for feedback10:26
knomeneither is our mailing list10:26
knometo be fair, if you are at all connected with the development of xubuntu, you will know both exist10:26
ochosibut the other thing is that there aren't very many people who want to really get involved10:26
Tadpoleirc discussions are too fleeting in nature, it's a good way for discussions, not feedback or voting10:26
ochosiTadpole: why is it not a good way of giving feedback?10:27
ochositechnology_: feedback or input can be given at any time. meetings are just a way to get to formal decisions/reports about things10:27
Tadpoleochosi: the person that you want to reach may not be online10:28
knomeif things like this matter to you so much, why aren't you more active on the places where development happens?10:28
Tadpolewhen that person comes online, (s)he can't see what was said10:28
Tadpoleunless there are logs, ofc.10:28
knomeno, there is logs10:28
ochosiTadpole: theoretically yes, practically everyone can read logs10:28
ochosiTadpole: also: most of us are always here and read their backlog when pinged10:29
knomeseriously, the xubuntu development happens inside such a small group of people that irc is actually pretty fine10:29
Tadpoleokay then, forget what I said10:29
Tadpolefor stuff like voting, you'd still be better off with surveymonkey or something similar10:29
knomewe've been trying to get hold of the community in the past, but we have never got any feedback10:29
wutwutwut``What do you mean you didn't know the Earth was scheduled for destruction?  The proposal was filed in the planning office at Procyon Centauri barely four light-years away!''10:30
knomethings like surveymonkey will allow skewed results10:30
technology_wutwutwut: fitting10:30
ochosithe thing is, i really appreciate both of you (Tadpole,technology_) speaking up, it's sometimes pretty silent in here. would be nice if you got involved somehow10:30
knometechnology_, Tadpole: i agree with ochosi. i'd really like to get some feedback, but really, i'd like to get it BEFORE we do some changes10:31
metalmatt13I have a question...Is xubuntu free?10:31
knomemetalmatt13, it is free of charge10:31
technology_uh believe it or not i monitor every meeting with this distribution; usually through the public logs10:31
technology_that's why i was surprised a big decision like this was made so quickly10:32
metalmatt13and if not is there any chance of it becoming free10:32
metalmatt13I mean free as in freedom10:32
technology_so i asked my friends about it and they were all surprised too, a lot of them actually use xubuntu10:32
technology_i have to go for a bit10:32
yaknowthatguyyo10:33
knomewhile anonymity might bring honesty, it also brings trolling. now, all of you from 4chan, stop trolling or you will find yourself out of this channel10:33
yaknowthatguynew logo looks weird10:33
=== knome changed the topic of #xubuntu-devel to: Xubuntu Development | Support at #xubuntu | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu | Bugs List: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Bugs/PrecisePangolin | Daily Testing results: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds
yaknowthatguyquestion: why isn't xubuntu free?10:37
knomemetalmatt13, please define "freedom" first10:37
metalmatt13This website has more info on it10:37
metalmatt13http://www.fsf.org/10:37
knomewe do ship packages that are not free as defined by FSF. there is an installation option not to allow these packages to be installed, though, on the installer10:38
metalmatt13Here is a good link10:38
metalmatt13http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html10:38
metalmatt13Alright10:38
knomeis there anything else i can help you with?10:38
metalmatt13Nope that would be it10:39
knomeyaknowthatguy, did you get your answer too, or should i try to clarify?10:39
yaknowthatguynah it's cool10:39
ochosi:)10:39
Mullinshi10:40
knomehello10:40
Mullinsi came here just to say that the new logo is terrible10:40
Mullinsplease don't change it10:40
knomethanks for the feedback10:40
ochosianyway, just to get this to some constructive point: the new logo has been decided at an open meeting. if you want to be part of future decisions feel free to come here more often and contribute.10:40
Mullinsseriously, just keep it the way it is10:40
knomethe new logo has been uploaded to 12.0410:40
Mullinsoh god10:41
ochosis/god/good10:41
knomei encourage continuous contributing too :)10:41
Mullinsyou really should reconsider10:41
Charitthats bad news.10:41
Mullinsonce it goes public you'll get even more negative feedback10:42
knomeas ochosi said, it's been decided at an open meeting10:42
Mullinshow many voted?10:42
Mullinsand what was the margin?10:42
knome5 people vote, with a margin of one, iirc, but that's not weird in the very small community.10:42
yaknowthatguy5 people? That's not much at all.10:42
Mullins5 people?10:42
ochosiyeah, if you follow the development of xubuntu, this will not surprise you10:42
knomeyaknowthatguy, metalmatt13: that's like about how many people involve in the xubuntu development10:43
ochosithere aren't many more people doing the work :)10:43
knome+ a few10:43
mr_pouitthat's the average number of voters, it has always been like that10:43
metalmatt13Do you think in the future there will be a re vote?10:43
knomemetalmatt13, most possibly not in the near future.10:43
metalmatt13ok10:43
ochosii think the next (sensible) chance to change the logo again is the next lts10:43
knomemaybe the next time we are choosing a new logo10:43
knomeochosi, that's most probably true, it was 2 years (the last LTS) when we changed the last time :)10:44
Mullinsguys, LXDE is starting to gain on you. you can't just change things right now10:44
yaknowthatguyShould of asked what the public thought, the users ya know.10:44
Mullinsplease keep the logo as it was before10:44
Mullinsyou have no idea how many people get mad over this10:44
knomeMullins, err, i'm happy if lxde does well, it's not a fight10:44
metalmatt13I don't beleive the logo is that big of a deal10:44
ochosiyaknowthatguy: that is really difficult, ya know :)10:44
ochosimetalmatt13: +110:45
mr_pouitthere's no competition between lubuntu and xubuntu (at least from the developers' pov)10:45
yaknowthatguyhow?10:45
metalmatt13and xfce and lxde try two completely different things10:45
Mullinsyou guys have to treat this like a competition10:45
knomeMullins, no, we don't, and we won't10:45
Mullinseverybody knows xfce is better 10:45
ochosiMullins: i disagree, i'm doing this in my free time without any financial gain. why should i compete? i'd rather cooperate with them10:45
knomeMullins, it is not a competition, it is about providing the best possible OS we can, and lubuntu does the same10:45
Mullinslxde is not enough, period10:45
knomeMullins, then don't use lxde10:45
metalmatt13It's preference, but I personally love xfce way more, lxde is a little more light weight though10:46
metalmatt13not bay far though10:46
metalmatt13by*10:46
Mullinsim just trying to warn you that this will make people upset when it goes stable10:46
ochosiyaknowthatguy: well for one, the mailinglist and the irc channel are pretty silent. not many people want to get involved10:46
Mullinsthis is just the beginning10:46
ochosiMullins: "this"?10:46
yaknowthatguyA poll on the site?10:46
knomeMullins, we got your point.10:46
metalmatt13Mullins: I think there are more things to worry about in a distribution than the logo.10:47
metalmatt13It's just a small cosmetic feature10:47
knomethe idea of voting in xubuntu is not meant to be anonymous as in 4chan - the idea is to have the USERS of xubuntu vote10:47
Mullinsi understand that the logo isnt a huge deal, but you need to understand that geeks freak out over everything10:47
metalmatt13Which, I'm sure you could change yourself if you really dislike it10:47
knomethat's why most of the ideas are born dead - if we had 100 votes, i'd be worried about all of them coming from xubuntu users10:47
knomeMullins, okay, we get that, can you move on?10:47
yaknowthatguyso like if a professional graphic designer that has been in the industry for years and years means less than a guy that used xubuntu for a few minutes?10:48
knomeno.10:48
knomethey should have the same weight on voting.10:48
knomebut if you are not a xubuntu user, then why should you be able to vote?10:48
ochosiyup, that's why there should be restrictions like being on the launchpad xubuntu-users team10:49
knomedoes the public people decide which logo apple will use?10:49
yaknowthatguywas there an a message on the homepage announcing this?10:49
wutwutwutMy opinion: the new logo sucks, but if you did a massive community poll for every minor change you'd never get anything done.10:49
ochosiknome: are you feeding trolls? :)10:49
herpaderp01I'd just like to interject for a moment and say that I agree with Mullins, the new logo hardly resembles a mouse at all. 10:49
ochosiwutwutwut: yup10:50
yaknowthatguythat's different, apple isn't a community based thing.10:50
knomeyaknowthatguy, there was a message on the twitter feed and there was the usual call for meeting in the mailing list.10:50
Mullinsit looks like a gnome foot10:50
Mullinsits not unique at all10:50
knomeochosi, you're right :)10:50
knomeMullins, thanks for the feedback. is there anything else we can help you with?10:50
yaknowthatguy@xubuntu?10:50
meetingologyyaknowthatguy: Error: "xubuntu?" is not a valid command.10:50
Mullinsnobody can tell the icon is a mouse10:50
knomeyaknowthatguy, @xubuntulinux10:51
Mullinsit looks like a gnome foot10:51
knomeMullins, thank you.10:51
knomethe feedback is appreciated10:51
Mullinsyou guys should hold a vote for the public if you want real feedback10:52
Mullinsthis irc room is honest10:52
knomeMullins, the meeting was open10:52
knomeMullins, the meeting was held in this honest, as you say, irc room.10:52
yaknowthatguyA twitter with 250 people following is better than the site which has a much broader view?10:52
Mullinsthe meeting was open but only 5 people voted10:52
ochosiMullins: feel free to propose a new voting procedure at the next meeting :)10:52
Mullinsyou should have the users vote10:52
mr_pouit(and again, that's the average number of voters)10:52
Mullinsnot if you put a poll on xubuntu.com10:53
Mullinsplease try it10:53
knomeas i've said before, we have announced the meeting, and to be fair, anybody at least remotely tied with the xubuntu development will know of the mailing list, which got the email about the meeting along with a link to the agenda10:53
mr_pouit(so it's fine when you agree with the decisions, but worth a post on 4chan when you disagree...)10:53
knometo whomever posting the question about the new logo in small sizes on 4chan; yes, the new logo will work better on small sizes10:54
yaknowthatguyWhy not? Asking others if they agree with them.10:54
Mullinsit works better on small sizes im sure, but it doesnt even look like a mouse/rat anymore10:55
Mullinsit looks like a gnome foot10:55
Mullinsyou have to retain your identity10:55
Mullinskeep it looking like a cute mouse/rat10:55
Mullinspeople like that kind of thing10:55
knomeMullins, one more time, thanks for the feedback. if there is nothing new you can bring to the discussion, please stop repeating10:55
Mullinsthis is the only discussion that is happening10:56
knomeexactly, and we've heard your opinion10:56
knomeno-one is even disagreeing it10:56
technology_I find the statistics at popcon (http://popcon.ubuntu.com/by_inst) very interesting, 111,071 xubuntu installs (going by installs of the meta package xubuntu-default-settings) and yet 5 votes or less on most matters...i think some things should still be discussed here but not everyone can get to a meeting in IRC at a set time...more important issues should be brought to a web poll with one vote per IP, or maybe a vote on launchp11:00
knometechnology_, as mr_pouit brought out before, 5 votes is about the count we have decided on other things too before, since there hasn't been more active community members11:01
mr_pouitwe welcome people who want to get involved, unfortunately, not so many :(11:02
technology_Anyway, I'm glad my 4chan thread could allow some members of the communityt to know more about the development process and maybe some of us can get involved...I was not aware that there was much to do in a distro that's mainly art and merging of upstream xfce changes11:02
knomei completely agree with the thing that the voting system should be changed - this is why it is on my list for the Q cycle11:02
Mullinsi agree with technology. a vote should be put on a website somewhere.11:03
knomeas long as it can be hooked to launchpad and the xubuntu-users group, it's an option11:04
knomei don't think there is a wordpress plugin to do that though, and judging on the contributor quantity, it looks like i had to write that, and i'm not sure if it's reasonable to use that much time for that only11:05
ochosihehe11:05
knomeoh, too bad he got uninterested. he could've written the plugin.11:06
yaknowthatguyWhy do they have to be xubuntu users anyways?11:06
knomecurrently, joining the group is open11:06
knomeand most probably will be in the future as well11:06
technology_knome: this is very simple, file a bug report on launchpad each time, have voting in the comments for 24 hours, close the bug report11:06
technology_only xubuntu-users can vote on it11:06
technology_there's no need to do anything else, only to extend the amount of time that xubuntu-users and xubuntu-developers can vote11:07
ochositechnology_: why not propose that at the next meeting and discuss it?11:07
knometechnology_, that's not very efficient11:07
technology_because i can't be here at the meetings, they're at a bad time for me11:07
ochosianyway, it's been nice to see some discussions in here, i'm off to do some work11:07
knomesee you later ochosi 11:07
ochosisee you11:08
knometechnology_, extending the voting time is a good idea11:08
technology_knome: i don't see how that's not efficient, there's what, one or two vote issues every week11:09
technology_you can even script it11:09
knomeimo, the best option would clearly be voting integrated to launchpad11:09
knometechnology_, who does count the comments?11:09
knometechnology_, how to make sure there is no irrelevant comments, or flaming?11:10
technology_well like you said it shouldn't be hard to count five or so comments11:10
technology_this way it might only get up to 1011:10
technology_knome: i can work on a userscript if you'd like to search for the text "Vote for option n" in each comment and not count two votes from the same user...comments without this text will be ignored11:11
knomewhat was the popcon statistics comment about then? i thought you were suggesting we could get 111k votes.11:11
technology_no, i'm just saying 111k people use xubuntu11:11
technology_so for a dev team to be this small, it's pretty strange11:11
technology_that was my comment11:11
knomeno, that's not the point. afaik there is no way to restrict commenting to single or a few groups only in LP11:11
knomeand bugs are not really the right way to go for voting, bugs are for bugs11:11
MullinsI'm all for a public vote on http://xubuntu.org/11:12
technology_it could work if limited to one vote/IP range11:13
knomeMullins, as i said, once it's possible to hook that with LP, it's an option11:13
knometechnology_, no, LP doesn't have that technology11:13
yaknowthatguyRepeating my comment.  Why do they have to be xubuntu users anyways?11:13
knomeyaknowthatguy, that's what reads in the strategy document, written by a previous project lead11:13
knomeand i agree with that11:13
Mullinsbecause that makes the most sense11:13
technology_uh knome if i could just direct your attention to something11:14
technology_https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-users11:14
technology_there's a polls thing right to the right of the page11:14
technology_does this not work?11:14
technology_https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-users/+poll/xubuntu-panel-layout11:14
technology_look there even was a poll once in 200811:14
technology_looks like the votes were purged11:14
knometechnology_, i suppose it does; tbh, we haven't looked much into this public voting, since there hasn't been any feedback11:15
mr_pouitthe lp team disabled team polls in 2011, but apparently they reenabled them...11:15
technology_it's an option11:15
technology_do you mind if i write about it to the mailing list?11:15
knomeyes, it definitely is an option once we get to discuss the voting11:15
knometechnology_, please do11:16
mr_pouit(http://blog.launchpad.net/general/team-polls-restored-but-future-is-unclear)11:16
knomemmh11:16
technology_alright, i'll research it more11:16
knomewe'd have to check if polling is suddenly going to disappear again...11:16
technology_for now i have to go to work11:16
technology_if a large team was using it they wouldn't remove it11:16
wutwutwutWarning: incoming /b/tard.11:16
technology_as in really using it11:16
technology_i don't think anyone's using it currently11:16
knome"It is also not possible to contact every member of team in Launchpad. How do team members ever know when a team admin creates a poll?"11:16
knome^ doesn't sound good11:16
technology_if they're active in development11:17
technology_then they know11:17
knomedoesn't sound any different than sending an email to ML11:17
mr_pouit(but if you post the link to the poll on the mailing list, might work)11:17
knomeif they are, they already know11:17
technology_it just opens up a time11:17
knomesince it's posted to the development mailing list11:17
technology_but they can't vote at the time11:17
technology_anyway, ill write more on the ml11:17
yaknowthatguyDevelopment mailing list?11:17
technology_for now i need to leave11:17
knomeyaknowthatguy, yes11:17
yaknowthatguyWasn't this for the general xubuntu user?11:18
knomeyaknowthatguy, yes, but the developer mailing list is for development issues11:18
knomeyaknowthatguy, -users list is for support11:18
yaknowthatguyWell yea.11:18
knomeyaknowthatguy, and everybody is free to join the -devel list11:18
yaknowthatguyI know.11:18

PjotrHi, I have a question about lightdm-gtk-greeter in Xubuntu 12.0415:06
PjotrAs some of you may know, I'm a translator of the Ubuntu Dutch Translators team. In Xubuntu 11.10, we have fully translated lightdm-gtk-greeter into Dutch.15:06
PjotrBut in Xubuntu 12.04, everything in the greeter is in English again. And I can't find out where to translate it... Does anybody know?15:07
mr_pouithttps://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter15:07
mr_pouityou need to bug the maintainer until he sets up things correctly in launchpad...15:08

* knome is waiting "i'm his neighbour!"15:10
knomebut that's not going to happen..15:10
Pjotrmr_pouit: Maybe you know in which IRC channel Robert Ancell usually hangs out?15:11
knomePjotr, none :|15:11
ochosiPjotr: i tried to contact him ~2weeks back, no answer until now (via email)15:12
ochosimaybe you have more luck via a bugreport...15:12
PjotrOK.... I'll file a bug report and let you know, so that you can support it15:13
ochosigood plan15:13
mr_pouitPjotr: if you still have no answer after the beta 2 release, ping me about that15:14
PjotrThere are other team members in the LightDM Development Team, besides Robert Ancell. Has anybody tried contacting one of those: https://launchpad.net/~lightdm-team15:15
Pjotrmr_pouit: thanks, will do that. :-)15:15
mr_pouitmost of them are working on ubuntu-desktop/unity, so not on the gtk-greeter (only unity-greeter)15:16
mr_pouitI'm working on that with didrocks15:24
PjotrOK, here's the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/95939715:27
ubottuLaunchpad bug 959397 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "In Precise, lightdm-gtk-greeter is entirely untranslatable" [Undecided,New]15:27
PjotrSupport is welcome. :-)15:27
ochosiPjotr: ok, bumped status to "confirmed" ;)15:27
PjotrAnother matter: Xubuntu 12.04 has a great new addition: a menu editor. Thanks, guys! :-)15:31
PjotrI would like to improve the Dutch translation of this menu editor. But I can't find it in Launchpad... Does anybody know?15:31
ochosiit's alacarte15:31
mr_pouithop, I created a team for the gtk greeter, and didrocks gave admin rights to it15:32
ochosi(it's mostly alacarte working again with the xfce menu)15:32
Pjotrochosi: thanks. :-)15:32
ochosiyw15:32
mr_pouitI'll set up translations this evening15:37
Pjotrmr_pouit: Great! Thank you.15:38
astraljavamr_pouit: Wouldn't hurt if someone from US team joined it, no?15:38
PjotrOne last issue: I'm also an upstream translator for Xfce. Upstream at Xfce, I tried to convince Nick to do a new release of xfce4-power-manager, solely for getting the new Dutch translation downstream (which has been waiting for almost a year now).15:39
PjotrApparently he's not enthusiastic about it, because he doesn't want to release old goodies without new application code.15:39
PjotrIs there still a way of getting the drastically improved Dutch translation into xfce4-power-manager in Xubuntu 12.04?15:39
mr_pouitI set up translatations16:03
mr_pouiterf, too late16:03
pleia2knome: did the 32-bit images stop building the same day we switched to non-pae?16:32
pleia2ochosi: my laptop doesn't have a mute button :( but if there are other tests I can do...16:33
pleia2I'm working right now, but can squeeze things in as needed16:33
ochosipleia2: hey!16:33
ochosiwell if xfce4-mixer still works and we still get notifications from that, that's already one good thing to know16:34
pleia2yep, that worked fine16:34
ochosii'll try to set up an install today or tomorrow16:34
ochosito test the mute-button thingy16:34
ochosioh in fact there might be something else you could test16:34
ochosiafter following these instructions, does xfce4-mixer still work as expected: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed/+bug/883485/comments/316:35

ochosiand does the sound-indicator stillwork16:35
pleia2is /active-card a placeholder or an actual thing?16:36
ochosiit's the name of the xfconf-property you're setting with the command16:36
ochosiyou can do the same thing by going to menu>settings>settings editor and then select xfce4-mixer on the left and change the value of the property active-card on the right16:37
ochosithis is what it looks like by default: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-03192012-053800pm.php16:38
ochosiand this is what it should look like: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-03192012-053923pm.php16:39

pleia2http://paste.ubuntu.com/890909/16:49
pleia2didn't actually seem to make any changes, and the mixer still works fine16:50

ochosiany error message?16:52
pleia2I add it, navigate away from that pane in the Xfconf editor, then go back and it's back to HDAA16:52
pleia2nope16:52
ochosiare you on a live-system?16:52
pleia2no, installed on disk16:53

ochosithen i guess you can't test that. at least i wouldn't wanna hassle you into trying with sudo...16:53
pleia2I can do it as sudo16:53
ochosimr_pouit: ^ is there a good reason a user can't edit xfconf properties?16:53
ochosipleia2: yeah, but i'm not 100% sure of the consequences, so...16:54
pleia2Property "/active-card" does not exist on channel "xfce4-mixer".  If a new16:54
pleia2property should be created, use the --create option.16:54
pleia2^^ it's not happy anyway16:54
pleia2that's with sudo16:54
ochosibut the property exists according to the settings-editor?16:55
pleia2yep16:55
pleia2it didn't give that error as my normal user16:55
ochosiprobably the property doesn't exist for root16:55

pleia2made a post that I only shared with Xubuntu17:20

GridCubehow do i know wich release version im testing?17:51
GridCubein the iso.qa tracker says the current is 2012319.1 but how do i know if thats the one i zsyncked 2 hours ago?17:52
knomepleia2, most probably yes, but cjwatson has looked into it today, fixed it, and we should have new builds again18:13
GridCube:/ i dont know if i got an answer to my question, of it even got posted, how do i know wich version of the iso i just tested?18:13
knomeGridCube, i don't know18:14
knomeGridCube, there ought to be some kind of sign, but...18:14
knomei've asked that from #ubuntu-release18:15
GridCubeoh i just tried to zsync it again and it said i have 100% of the file so i bet i have the last one :D18:15
knomethere's no new i386 builds since march 15, unless maybe today :)18:15
GridCubei had to zsynck more thant 75% of the file :P18:16
knomemm-hmm.18:16
GridCubei can not connect to the internet with todays iso, i've installed it to a vbox so it might not be recognizing it?18:18
GridCubethe mouse integration stoped working a long ago also18:18
GridCubethe logos are the old good ones18:19
knomeuggh, report those to the tracker and post me the links and i can try to get them some publicity18:19

knomewell, i don't know18:22
knomethe new logo is in, at least in my wife's laptop with precise and upgraded to most recent version18:22

knomeat least it was in in plymouth...18:23
GridCubenope18:23
GridCubei was happy to see the old logo at least one last time18:23
knomeweird. poke mr_pouit, the joke's on him now :P18:23

knomeGridCube, now listen carefully :)=18:27

GridCubebecause it obviously its not the one that im suppose to be doing18:36
GridCubeor reporting for that matter18:36
knomeit would be great if you could download the iso for today whatsoever18:36
knomebecause of the non-pae kernel18:37
knomewe need tests for that18:37
GridCube yes that was part of the things that got me thinking about what version i was installing because it said that i was installing a pae kernel, and then the logos where the old ones and so on18:37
knome:)18:38
GridCubeand the md5 checksums do not coincide :/18:41

astraljavaYeah, I'll spend a little more time still before giving up on it. :)20:21
astraljavaknome: It seems to be a vbox issue, it doesn't seem to find my wireless adapter at all.20:51
astraljavaknome: I had never heard of testdrive, just accidentally stumbled upon it right now. Looks like a seriously handy tool, if it works. :)21:01
knomehumm, what's that?21:11
astraljavatestdrive, gives you a nice and clean interface without any hassles of looking for links etc. You can configure it to use any distro/flavor, any archs, sync and then launch the virt software of your choice.21:13
knomeright21:14
astraljavaknome: Yeah, it was a vbox issue, qemu goes past that stage.21:23
knomeright21:26
knomemaybe something related to the guest additions21:27
astraljavaI don't know, never really liked vbox. I used vmware back in the day, now too lazy to install it as it's not in the archives. :)21:29
ochosiastraljava: are you old enough to use the phrase "back in the day"? :)21:45
mr_pouitI installed daily-live 20120319.1 in vbox and there was the new logo, and the non-pae kernel (I didn't enable pae in vbox and it worked)21:57
astraljava34, but I mean like 7 years ago, when there were no virt packages in the archives.21:59
ochosi:)22:02

knomeit actually works better if you hide the menubar by default.22:18
* knome wonders if astraljava chooses passwords that rhyme with his username22:18
astraljavaknome: Nah, I'll get used to it, or I'll change it. I've spent quite a lot of time just recently trying to find good gray shade combos for weechat, so now seeing everything in just one is a little bit of a shock. :)22:19
astraljavaSadly, no.22:19
astraljavaYeah, I should really hide it, I never use it anyway.22:20

nonauIs there a more comprehensive set of tests than the "long test" on the wiki?23:42
pleia2nonau: not currently, but if you have ideas for more they would be quite welcome23:43
pleia2nonau: if you have more suggestions for tests, please sign up for the xubuntu-devel mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel) and share them there, from there more people can review them and we can work them into the /Long version23:45
nonaupleia2: Alright, thank you for the information.23:45
pleia2(and let me know if you're shy about posting to -devel, I was :) you can also email them to me: lyz@ubuntu.com and I'll pass them along)23:47
ochosinonau: yup, bugreports and testing is always appreciated!23:47
