mr_pouitsorry, I'm too tired to be useful, so i'll read the backlog00:00
mr_pouitgood night!00:00
ochosisure, good night mr_pouit !00:01
knomenight mr_pouit :)00:02
ochosihmm, resizing partitions. always fun.00:04
ochosiimo we should hide ff's menubar by default00:04
ochosiit's so much prettier without it00:04
knomebleh, that's another UIFe00:05
ochosifor p+1 then00:05
ochosixfce4-notifyd should be disabled in maybe-ubiquity00:06
ochosiit shows stuff like wireless-networks available, but you can't interact with it00:06
astraljavaI can't believe T-bird is still suffering from the same problem it has had for the past decade, at least.00:07
ochosi?00:07
astraljavaMessages with umlauts in subject aren't displayed correctly in the thread pane, if no content-type is specified in the headers.00:08
ochosipff00:08
ochosiknome: ubiquity looks ok to me00:09
ochosii mean size-wise00:09
knomeochosi, on a netbook?00:10
knome:P00:10
ochosihm, maybe not00:10
ochosibtw, the wallpaper is also old on that shot00:10
knomeapparently 470 just isn't enough...00:10
knomeochosi, want to come up with an updated shot there?00:11
knome:|00:11
ochosihmm00:11
ochosiif i don't have anything better to do...00:11
knomeif we decide to try to fit netbooks00:11
ochosii dunno, i don't own a netbook ;)00:11
ochositbh the slideshow isn't huge as it is00:11
knomei know00:12
astraljavaMaybe it's time for a netbook edition. :)00:12
knomei'm investigating this mostly for US00:12
knomebut seeing what our chances are, too00:12
ochosiastraljava: huhu00:12
ochosirestarting, hopefully brb00:12
knomei'm wondering what our chances are keeping up the accessibility with nobody with expertise on that00:13
knomeaccessibility as in accessibility for the disabled00:14
knomegeneral accessibility should be okay, at least00:14
ochosiback00:15
astraljavaknome: I have no idea. I only know of one dev who concentrates on that stuff, and he's way busy.00:15
knomeyeah.00:16
knomere: a11y: there's also this thing now, should we even think about the app sets, or just keep on installing the few a11y tools by default00:21
knomeand tell people who want ubuntu+plain xfce to use minimal as before00:21
knomea11y set made it worthwhile, but the xfce-only alone... well, i don't know00:22
ochosiknome: cool, the power-icon stuff worked00:24
ochosiincluding notifications00:25
knomegreat!00:25
ochosiyah, the power-icon never looked that crisp ;)00:25
ochosik, gotta quickly reboot to test that audio-stuff00:25
nonauaudio stuff?  Anything about the mute button?00:26
ochosinonau: that's what i'm testing00:26
nonauochosi:  If possible, can I give it a test too?00:27
knomeochosi, 520 height -> http://imagebin.org/204442 -> \o/00:27
leo-unglaubwah00:27
ochosinonau: sure, try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed/+bug/883485/comments/300:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 883485 in xfce4-volumed "Pulse Audio don't get unmuted when XF86AudioMute is used" [Undecided,Won't fix]00:28
ochosinonau: if that works for you giving you unmute again, start testing whether xfce4-mixer still works00:28
ochosi(and whether it displays notifications)00:28
ochosileo-unglaub: what's up? :)00:29
ochosiknome: yeah, looks good. but really the header is eating a lot of space considering it's such a small window now00:29
ochosimaybe screenshots should somehow overlap it...00:30
leo-unglaubi am just loosing it here00:30
ochosileo-unglaub: with your project?00:30
leo-unglaubi don't get why people don't support there projects00:30
leo-unglaubjust needet "giver"00:30
leo-unglaubto copy some files00:30
knomeochosi, i made the header smaller on xubuntu slideshow00:30
leo-unglaubbroken in current version00:30
knomeochosi, on the US slideshow, there was no need00:30
ochosileo-unglaub: that sucks. haven't tried giver in ages though00:31
leo-unglaubi mean, i have nearly 40 projects on github and even i don't need one of them i try to still supprt them00:31
leo-unglauband my company project...dude...not in a month ..00:31
ochosimeh, that doesn't sound good00:32
ochosibrb00:33
nonauochosi: I manually changed that setting in the Settings Editor (to the value in the comment).  The keys work, I have notifications, and all seems to work. :)00:37
ochosinonau: are you on precise?00:38
nonauochosi:  Yes.  I copied the string from "sound-card" to "active-card".00:39
ochosimr_pouit: there are some serious issues with xfconf in precise. first off: values can be changed, but the changes aren't saved. doesn't matter whether via cli or gui. also: after launching xfce-session xubuntu-session is kinda borked. many of the session-settings are gone (xfwm4-theme, font-rendering etc.)00:40
ochosinonau: lucky for you, didn't work for me. the values don't get saved00:40
leo-unglaubis the 12.04 bug with the not disapering notify-bouble reported?00:41
ochosialso: here the string in sound-card and active-card are the same (HDAIntelAlsamixer)00:41
ochosinonau: ^00:41
ochosileo-unglaub: i think that was even reported for oneiric, but never fixed afaik00:42
nonauochosi: I'll see if it still saves for me after restart.  For me, HDAIntelAlsamixer was active card and the other was PlaybackBultinAudio...00:43
nonauochosi: Setting saved on restart.  The problem is fixed for myself.00:46
ochosinonau: could you please open xfce4-mixer00:46
ochosithen check whether volume-changes are still reflected there when pressing the multimedia-buttons00:46
ochosiif that works, also check whether moving the slider in xfce4-mixer makes the notification-bubble appear00:47
nonauochosi: Done, it updated the volume slider in sync with the volume keys.00:47
ochosi("moving the slider", as in: clicking and dragging it with the mouse)00:48
nonaunotification does appear for both the buttons and dragging the slider00:48
ochosicool00:48
ochosiwondering why you have different settings for sound-card though00:49
ochosiwould you mind pasting the value that worked for you?00:49
nonauPlaybackBuiltinAudioAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer for both /active-card and /sound-card00:50
ochosiin fact: if you could add what you did to make everything work here, that'd be great: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-volumed/+bug/88348500:50

leo-unglaubochosi: http://img641.imageshack.us/i/auswahl007.jpg/ <- thats not even close, but the result in the new glade version *g*00:51
ochosi:)00:51
ochosileo-unglaub: well, if you can get the fill-setting right then this could still be a good step forward00:52
leo-unglaubno, because the playtime ist gone *g*00:52
ochosihihi, true00:52
ochosii overlooked that00:52
leo-unglaubi hate glade...thats one of the reasions my company switch to mono...the monodevelop gui designer ist beautiful00:53
ochosinonau: ok, can reproduce that now. problem with setting sound-card to builtin blah is that you can't control input anymore00:53
ochosinonau: (in xfce4-mixer)00:53
knomeochosi, would you like to test the new slideshow?00:53
knomeochosi, bzr branch lp:~knome/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/xubuntu-netbook 00:54
ochosiknome: not sure, i'm already pretty tired, and i already tested such a lot today..00:54
knomeochosi, this one is easy though, just a pull and run a script :)00:54
knometbh, it is pretty much done now, though i'd like you to see it before i start begging for an UIFe ;)00:55
leo-unglaubochosi: is this tool bar still needet? http://img841.imageshack.us/i/auswahl007.jpg/00:56
knomethat looks useful :)00:57
leo-unglaubbut is this in the current version enabled?00:58
* knome has no idea, but it looks useful ;)00:58
ochosithis toolbar is only shown when playing a dvd00:58
ochosiso removing that would disable dvd-navigation00:58
ochosi(it's pretty hacky if you ask me, but anyway...)00:59
knomeit sucks to navigate dvd's is 'menu' is more than one click away though... :)00:59
leo-unglaubochosi: are you sure it's used?01:00
ochosileo-unglaub: yes01:00
leo-unglaubbecause i don't see the events in zthe source code01:00
ochosileo-unglaub: it's really conditionally shown when a dvd is inserted01:00
ochosiknome: branching that takes ages :(01:02
ochosiknome: what scripts do i have to run now?01:02
knomeochosi, don't you think i now? i've branched that at least 4 times today :D01:02
knomeochosi, test-slideshow.sh, select xubuntu01:02
ochosis/now/know01:02
ochosi;)01:02
knomeochosi, that's it.01:02
knomeheh, right ;)01:02
* knome is pretty much ready to bed01:03
ochosiso what do you wanna see?01:03
knomejust want ACK/AARGH from you01:03
ochosi:)01:03
knomeochosi, i want *you* to see the new, 520px tall slideshow :)01:03
ochosilooks pretty similar to as always01:03
knomeyeah, but it's more condensed01:03
knomecheck all the slides01:03
knomeshouldn't be surprises but...01:03
knomeif that works for you, i'll file an UIFe tomorrow...01:04
ochosihttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-03212012-020416am.php01:04
knome(or just ask around if i could upload that without UIFe, since nothing really changed)01:04
knomeyup.01:04
ochosiplease enjoy my borked fonts after starting xfce-session01:04
knomehahah01:04
ochosithat _really_ should be fixed01:04
knomethat's how the shot is cut01:04
knomethe fonts?01:04
ochosior maybe my eyes are tired01:05
knomeor them breaking after running xfce?01:05
knomeno, they suck01:05
ochosimore things broke01:05
knomeastraljava!!01:05
knomeastraljava, you asked for critical bugs?01:05
ochosixfwm4-compositing setting was gone01:05
ochosixfwm4-theme was gone01:05
ochosifont-rendering settings01:05
ochosifont-settings (sans instead of droid sans)01:05
knomeochosi, if you aren't too tired, please file a bug01:05
ochosii am01:05
ochosii pinged lionel, hopefully he'll reply tomorrow01:06
knomeokay, then let's gather that tomorrow from the logs01:06
nonauAnything else I should test, pulseaudio related or otherwise?01:06
ochosialso: the shade button is part of xfwm4 now01:06
ochosinonau: could you please log out, log into xfce4-session and then back into xubuntu session and see whether anything changed?01:07
knomeevil.01:07
nonauochosi:  Can do.01:07
ochosi(for me that broke/changed a lot of things, a quick confirmation would be good)01:07
knome...and a bug report01:07
ochosiknome: well, we wanna know, don't we?01:07
knome:P01:07
ochosihuhu, you're evil!01:07
knomewell if other people have more energy...01:08
knomeor better timezone ;)01:08
ochosiknome: look at this: should i make the recorded channels red and the unselected captures like the currently selected one?01:08
ochosihttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-03212012-020852am.php01:08
knomei have NO idea what you are talking about01:09
ochosibetter now?01:09
knomehmm. recorded channel *names* ?01:09
ochosino, the microphone icon01:09
ochosi(sorry, was a bit unspecific at first)01:09
knomeochosi, instead of what?01:09
knomeochosi, looking like the button is pressed down?01:10
ochosiknome: make "Capture 1" and "2" look like "Capture", make "Capture" red instead01:10
knomehmmph.01:10
ochosiknome: maybe that's clearer visually to see which chan is recorded from01:10
astraljavaknome: Yes I did.01:10
knomei'd prefer a red record-icon01:10
knomeastraljava, well, you have one now. :)01:10
nonauochosi: Logged into xfe-session and back into xubuntu.  I now have two additional workspaces, the bottom panel is no longer transparent, and no other noticeable changes.01:10
ochosinonau: different window borders?01:11
knomeochosi, but the current unpressed/pressed states are fine, imo01:11
nonauochosi:  Roll up button was added.01:11
ochosiknome: pressed == recording. unpressed is just nothing01:11
knomeochosi, exactly.01:11
ochosinonau: but the theme was kept? or are the borders blue now?01:11
knomeochosi, can you change the pressed button icon to red record-icon ?01:12
ochosiknome: so you'd keep it as is or make pressed==red?01:12
knomeochosi, as is, but add the icon change when pressed01:12
ochosiknome: yeah, i'd simply re-color it01:12
knomei'd use the red dot01:12
nonauochosi:  Theme was kept.01:12
ochosinonau: ok, what about font-settings? (settings-manager>appearance>fonts)01:13
astraljavaknome: Err... where?01:13
knomeastraljava, log in to xfce session, then back to xubuntu session. some settings are lost.01:13
knomeastraljava, some attention to the discussion on the channel, please ;)01:13
ochosiknome: nah, either use a mic or a red dot. i don't like icon-changes on click, that feels whacky01:13
astraljavaknome: Ok, let me try.01:14
knomeochosi, could it be light-gray dot on non-pressed state?01:14
astraljavaknome: Hah.01:14
nonauochosi:  It changed to Sans, 10 point, no anti-aliasing.01:14
knomeastraljava, especially the discussion between ochosi and nonau  :)=01:14
ochosiknome: i'll think about it tomorrow. i generally like the mic-icon...01:14
ochosinonau: ok, same here :(01:14
knomeochosi, mmh. in this case, i don't know if the icon change would be too wacky.01:14
knomeochosi, it's intended to be a big difference so you can notice that.01:15
ochosiknome: i'll think about it when i'm not as tired as i am now01:15
knomeyeah, i might be not thiking the clearest either01:15
ochosi:)01:15
knome+n01:15
knome...01:15
ochosiok, i really really gotta go to sleep now01:15
knomenot typing either01:15
ochosii can't get anything done anymore anyway now01:15
ochosisee y'all tomorrow or soonish01:15
knomesame here01:15
nonauHeading out for now as well.01:15
knomesee you01:15
ochosithanks for testing, nonau01:16
knomeand night/day everybody! :)01:16
knomeyup, thanks nonau! :)01:16
knome->01:16
nonauNo problem.01:16
astraljavagrr... no menu item for qemu-kvm.01:16
ochosinight everyone!01:16
astraljavaknome: ochosi: Yeah, I see how it changes. I will look into this tomorrow, I may have to sleep too, it seems. :)01:55
ScottLthe new xubuntu logo looks very, very nice03:05
nonauIndeed it does.03:09
nonauOne thing I've noticed is that networking notifications don't seem to follow the settings in Settings Manager > Notifications.03:17
knomeScottL, thanks for the praise. it's not unanimous... :)10:14
astraljavaNo, it's not... *smirk*10:33
knomeastraljava, so, what do *you* like of the logo?10:34
knomein a way it's a big thing to change, otoh, a user doesn't see it too often anyway10:34
knomemadnick, you on?10:36
astraljavaYeah well, I like what has been attempted to achieve with the change. It's a big change, like you said, so I'm not sure I've gotten accustomed to it just yet. :)10:36
knomemm-hmm10:36
knomei really think it hits the nails head on small sizes10:37
astraljavaProbably will, I've only seen it bigger so far.10:37
knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/precise_logo/oldexports/logo_comparison_appmenu.png10:38
astraljavaYeah, there it looks much cleaner.10:43
knome:|10:46
knomeoh, the logo10:46
knomeare you near your qemu installation?10:46
astraljavaYes I am.10:47
knomecould you check what i proposed? branch the slideshow, and try running the test-slideshow-script10:49
knomeand see if it has the scrollbars too10:49
astraljavaI can, after "breakfast". :)10:49
knomeheh10:50
astraljavagah, LP is acting up.11:05
astraljava...or then it's the virt networking.11:06
astraljavaCome to think of it, LP has been much more stable than, say, a few years back.11:06
knomesure11:06
astraljavaknome: Wouldn't it have been k3wl if the mouse had an eye in the logo? :D Probably too small a detail, but just thought of it right now.11:08
knomeyeah, it's too small11:09
knomewe already lost that feature for the 10.04 logo, it was in before11:09
astraljavaknome: Yeah, no scrollbars there.11:09
knome:||11:09
knomedamn, that's nasty11:09
astraljavaIt is. I'll testdrive the studio amd64 image again, so I'll get you a screen shot of it.11:10
knomemmh11:10
knomecan you remember seeing that with vbox?11:10
astraljavaNo, I haven't tested on vbox, but I can if you want.11:11
knomethe slideshow is in webkit, so if qemu messes that up... then it's just qemu and we can pretty much forget that11:11
knomeif you could, would be awesome11:11
astraljavaSure, I have it installed already.11:11
knomemeh, i mean at installation time.. :)11:12
knomeif qemu doesn't show the scrollbars in test-slideshow, why should vbox?11:12
knomethat's not even the place we'd care about them, because it's just test11:13
astraljavaI mean, I have vbox installed, so no big deal. :)11:14
astraljavaYeah, beats me.11:14
knomehehe, right11:14
knome:)=11:14
knomeyup, it's weird, and scary too...11:15
astraljavaI kinda dislike the whole virt, still, but it's much quicker.11:15
knomebut let's hope it is qemu messing things up11:15
astraljavaEhh... this is seriously weird. In vbox, it mentions the machine being powered on at the initial checks, which it didn't in qemu.11:23
knomehmm :)11:23
astraljavaknome: http://astraljava.kapsi.fi/us_vbox_slideshow.png vs. http://astraljava.kapsi.fi/us_qemu_slideshow.png, it looks like qemu has some serious issues. Look at the bottom of that screen shot.11:25
astraljava...or it could be an architectural thing, I am not an expert on virt anyhoo.11:26
knomeastraljava, yeah, huh :)11:41
knomephew11:41
knomein that case i think we can merge the branc11:43
knomeh11:43
astraljavaYeah, go right ahead.11:44
Kk2hello guys, good morning :D11:45

bogner17Hello everyone16:08
ochosihey16:09
leo-unglaubis the xubuntu screensaver a part of the xfce project?16:10
leo-unglaubbecause i thing i found a security bug16:10
ochosileo-unglaub: that's xscreensaver, i think one of the (supposedly) safest lockers around16:12
ochosi(not part of xfce)16:12
leo-unglaubhmmm16:12
leo-unglaubi was able to pick up an incoming skype call while the screen was locked16:12
ochosiwow16:13
ochosithat's disturbing16:13
knomeochosi, ping16:13
ochosiknome: pong16:13
knomeso, regarding to the discussion earlier while trying to triage the audio mute bug16:14
ochosiyup16:14
ochosiwell, there are two ways of dealing with the current unmute-bug16:14
ochosi1) fix it via setting an xfconf-value (in the property /active-card) via xubuntu-default-settings16:14
ochosi2) fix it by patching xfce4-volumed directly to prefer pulseaudio16:15
knomeis 1) problem-free?16:15
ochosiwell, the thing is that people have reported differing values for pulseaudio16:15
ochosiyou can see that in the bugreport16:15
ochosithat's the main issue16:15
knomeaaand the bug # is?16:16
ochosivariant 2) seems more flexible16:16
knome:)16:16
ochosi#88348516:16
ochosimeh16:16
ochosibug #88348516:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 883485 in xfce4-volumed "Pulse Audio don't get unmuted when XF86AudioMute is used" [Undecided,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88348516:16
knomevariant 2) needs pavucontrol instead of xfce4-mixer16:16
knomeright?16:16
ochosinot necessarily16:16
ochosibut it would make sense16:16
ochosias it's more a shift towards using pulseaudio more16:16
ochosiand that can't be handled by xfce4-mixer16:17
ochosixfce4-mixer uses gstreamer, and gstreamer has terrible pulseaudio bindings16:17
knomei've personally used pavucontrol for a while already...16:17
ochositherefore it doesnt support pulseaudio16:17
ochosiso people can't take advantage of it16:17
knomewhat about panel applets?16:17
bogner17I really wish I knew and understood everything you guys are talking about :(16:17
ochosiwell, we don't use the xfce4-mixer in the panel anyway16:17
knomebogner17, feel free to ask :)16:17
ochosifor at least two releases we've been using indicator-sound16:17
knomeochosi, but can we get something for pavucontrol in?16:18
ochosiknome: into indicator-sound?16:18
knomeochosi, hmm, that's the applet with music player play controls?16:18
ochosiyup16:18
knomehuho16:18
bogner17knome how do you do that like red private message thinging?16:18
knomewasn't there a bug with that? scrolling not working16:18
knomebogner17, just type somebody's nick, and they most probably will get a highlight16:18
ochosiknome: not sure what you mean with "scrolling"16:18
knomeochosi, scroll mouse whell on top of applet16:19
bogner17knome did you get highlighted?16:19
knomeshouldn't that control audio volume?16:19
knomebogner17, yup :)16:19
ochosiknome: oh, that has been fixed16:19
bogner17knome awesome :)16:19
ochosi(in oneiric already)16:19
knomeah16:19
knomenice16:19
ochosiso no backdraws there16:19
knomeso indicator-sound works with pavucontrol too?16:19
ochosiyup16:19
knomeok16:19
ochosithe "sound settings" button has to receive a patch16:19
knomeaham?16:19
ochosiso that pavucontrol opens instead of xfce4-mixer16:19
knomeright16:20
ochosibut it's trivial16:20
knomebut that's trivial?16:20
knomegood.16:20
ochosimr_pouit has already provided a patch16:20
knomei wonder if this should go under FFe16:20
ochosii've also tested his patch against volumed to prefer pulseaudio16:20
ochosiworks well16:20
knomei'm all for dropping xfce4-mixer16:20
ochosiyeah, me too16:20
ochosihaving two mixers is odd and confusing16:20
knomeyes16:20
ochosiand xfce4-mixer is getting deprecated (unless we decide to drop pulseaudio)16:20
knomewell, you can have even four mixers if you want, but.. :)16:21
ochosianother cool thing would be to get pavucontrol into the settings-manager16:21
knomelooking at ubuntu going to PA, i don't think we're going to swim upstream (pun intended) with no PA16:21
ochosithat would only mean modifying its .desktop file a bit16:21
knomehmm16:21
ochosiyeah, i think we don't have too much choice than to embrace PA16:21
knomecan we get a patch for that, and some publicity for it too16:21
ochosiafter all, it's supposed to be the sound-server of the future ;)16:21
knomeand then testing too...16:21
knomewell, we don't have to embrace it, using it is enough ;]16:22
knomebut tbh, it's worked fine for me16:22
knomehmm, so16:27
knomeis there a bug for any of this?16:27
knomeif you could file one with a quick list of the needed changes, and maybe a quick rationale, that would be good16:28
ochosisry, brb16:28
knomeheh, np :)16:29
knomenew slideshow is now uploaded along with appropriate changelog16:30
knomeScottL, ^ ubuntu studio too16:30
ochosiok, back16:37
knomeso, if we'd have a bug, that would be good16:37
ochosinot sure against what i should report the bug "replace xfce4-mixer by pavucontrol"16:37
knomexubuntu-default-settings ?16:38
ochosihm, not sure, does that package carry our default apps?16:38
knomewell, ask mr_pouit which package defines our seed16:38
ochosiyup, i'll wait for him16:39
knomeand what about fixing xfce4-volumed to use pavucontrol?16:39
ochosianyway, might be that i can't do that today, i won't be online anymore after ~1hr from now16:39
knomeerr, pulseaudio16:39
knomewhich package is that16:39
knomeif that is xubuntu-default-settings, i think you could file that as the bug itself, and just add that we also want to change the seed16:39
knomeand we can just mark the other package to be concerned later16:40
ochosithat's xfce4-volumed16:40
ochosiand for the indicator it's the package indicator-sound-gtk216:40
knomehuho16:40
knome:)16:40
knomeanyway, if you can sort this out with mr_pouit, i'm happy to go through the FFe stuff16:41
ochosiyeah, i'll ask him who will file the bugreports16:41
ochosisince the patches are ready (and tested), it shouldn't be a big deal16:41
knomemm-hmm16:41
knomeho!16:42
knomethere's now "work items" -subheader at LP blueprints :)16:43
knomemadnick, can you follow-up on the plymouth text issue with me and mr_pouit as soon as possible - we need to have the stuff ready to be uploaded so we can file a UIFe bug16:47
knomebbl16:50
madnickAt the moment I cannot do much about it, I uploaded my changes, but you wanted a diff, the problem is atm I only have access to Windows 7, and that won't change until I get back. I do not really know what to do :(16:56
ochosimadnick: when do you get back?16:57
madnick25th16:57
ochosihmm16:57
ochosiwell, you can always ask someone else to do a diff for you16:57
ochosibetter than waiting with hands folded16:57
madnickYes16:57
madnickWell, the code is on my server16:58
madnickIm not sure who to ask to do the diff :P16:58
madnickknome?16:58
ochosibest to ask someone with a few technical skills, e.g. either mr_pouit or micahg 16:59
ochosior even someone outside of xubuntu-dev, if you know anyone16:59
madnicktbh, the solution was to span the text out on 1 single line16:59
madnickThus I think about 3-4 lines of code was changed17:00
ochosiit might be good to discuss that with whoever will package it17:01
ochosi(my guess would be mr_pouit, but i might be wrong)17:01
ochosik, i'm off for today17:14
knomemadnick, can you point me to the code then, an i'll do the diff myself17:15
madnickknome: okay17:15

madnickFrankly, I am very sorry for my very disappointing degree of involvement this cycle, but I really had no idea about how my situation would turn out.17:19
knomeit's okay17:21
knomein the future though i think we all would benefit from public development branches17:21
Kk2in future i will help you guys :D hahah17:25
madnick:)17:25
knomeKk2, hey17:25
knomereally, any little bit of help is appreciated17:25
Kk2i will man :D17:25
Kk2anyting i could help17:25
knomewe will start planning the Q cycle relatively soon, so hang out and you will be able to be the assignee for things17:26
Kk2no problem :D i will be always here in irc :P just let me know when17:27
knomemadnick, i've talked to astraljava, and he's willing to help with the release meetings, or even take the whole task. i'll talk to skaet about that too. maybe you can cooperate on things together? :)17:28
madnicksure17:32
knomethanks17:33
madnickIt would be great, because lately its been impossible to attend :P17:33
knomeyeah, i've noticed; no problem though, just want to make sure everything works :)17:33
astraljavamadnick: Ok, cool! Glad to be cooperating with ya. :)17:47
astraljavamadnick: Perhaps we can expand it to some coding later on. :) You've got cool projects in your portfolio.17:48
knomeochosi, btw, there's the beta freeze tomorrow :D17:48
madnickastraljava: :)17:51
knomeochosi, mr_pouit: beta freeze is tomorrow 21 UTC. we have until that to get FFe's for the plymouth text stuff (i have the code ready) and the audio stuff.19:20
knomemadnick, ?19:28
knomemadnick, it's kind of urgent, if you can get my message... :)19:28
knomecome on....!19:35

knomewell, i only sent you one in the last 5 mins :D19:46
madnickThe translations are not handled by19:46
knomeby what?19:46
madnickthe script, they get handled by the actual messages19:46
madnickthat is sent to plymouth19:46
knomeyeah19:46
knomebut19:46
knomedoes this affect translations19:46
knomedoes anybody need to retranslate anything?19:47
madnicknope :)19:47
knomeokay, great19:47
knomethat's the thing i wanted to hear19:47
knomei'll file an UIFe later today19:47
madnickThe thing I am worried about, is that I have not tested it on hardware, just vm19:48
knomewell, if we get it for beta2, we can test it19:48
madnickAwesome19:48
knomeif it fails miserably, then revert19:48
madnickbecause the strings i use for testing is not the actual ones19:48
knomeanyway, some time off focus19:48
knomemm-hmm :)19:49
madnickThe script, if installed, will use the actual ones tho19:49
madnickJust my testing environ19:49
madnickdoesnt19:49
knomeyup19:49
knomeno worries19:49
knomei wanted to hurry because getting this in beta2 will allow us to test19:50
madnickokay :)19:50

mr_pouitknome: that's all? this 3 lines patch?22:14
knomemr_pouit, yes.22:17
knomemadnick, ^22:17
mr_pouitnice, thanks, I'll upload22:17
knomemr_pouit, do you think getting to upload the audio bug related stuff before tomorrow 21 UTC would work?22:18
madnickThe only thing we changed was how the text is presented22:19
knomeagain, i can handle the FFe's...22:19
mr_pouitknome: I think I'll upload xfce4-volumed tonight (it's more of a bugfix than a new feature)22:25
knomemr_pouit, okay, so what's left then?22:25
mr_pouitknome: xubuntu-meta and indicator-sound may need a FFe though22:25
knomemr_pouit, can you help ochosi getting the bugs filed?22:25
knomehe wasn't sure against which packages he should file them22:25
mr_pouitthese two are package names :P22:29
knomei know.22:29
knomemr_pouit, but if he needs any more help, will you try to be helpful? (:22:30
mr_pouitno, as usual (=22:30

astraljavaYou have a beard again?22:31
knomeyeah.22:31
knomejudging by the amount of freeze exceptions, the xubuntu team has been active lately22:32
knomeor, just sucked a lot before.22:34
astraljavaIt all depends on how you look at it. :)22:40
knomeyup22:40
* astraljava is really liking weechat now.22:40
knomehmpf.22:41
* knome is too lazy to learn anything new22:41
knomeirssi works for me, so why try to fix it.22:41
astraljavaHighly customizable, I'm not saying irssi wasn't, but the 256-color support really closed the deal.22:41
knomewho needs 256 colors in IRC ?22:41
* astraljava points at self22:42
knomei need only one.22:42
knomei don't want no more.22:42
astraljavaHmm? Black on black?22:42
knomeblah22:42
knomeblack is not a color ;)22:42
astraljavalollero22:42
knomehahah22:42
knomeand if pink is the new black, pink isn't a color either.22:42
knomeand if orange is the new pink, orange isn't a color either.22:43
astraljavaWhat happened to brown? It had to have been _something_ back when ubuntu first came out.22:43
pleia2pink++22:43
astraljavapleia2: You have pink highlighted?22:43
knomethe only thing i currently miss from irssi is diff's when topic changes22:43

knomei mean yeah, it's nice to know the new topic... but what changed??22:44
mr_pouitcan someone test and alternate and confirm?22:44
knomemr_pouit, we're both using non-pae22:44

knomeastraljava, yeah, but i don't want to see the long story22:44
astraljavamr_pouit: I'm on it.22:44

knomehah.22:46
knomeit costs me valuable screen estate22:46
astraljavaHow big is your terminal screen, 16x4?22:46
knomei'd also like to have a command that would be able to clear any topics and/or names lists at the current window22:47

mr_pouitmeh, another unforeseen consequence of the non-pae switch :{22:53
knomedamn.22:54

knomehmm23:01
knomewhat about settings manager?23:01
ochosiyeah, dunno, do we want that? was just an idea of mine23:01
knomeif xfce4-mixer is there, why not?23:02
knome(is it?)23:02
knomeif not, then i don't know if we can justify that change for P23:02
mr_pouit(if we want that, UIFe against xubuntu-default-settings, I guess that's where we'll ship our custom desktop file)23:02
mr_pouitknome: it's not23:02
knomei don't think that's necessary23:02
knomethoughts?23:02
ochosiwell the settings are where i'd expect to find the mixer/sound-settings23:03
ochosinot in multimedia23:03
ochosibut maybe that's just me23:03
mr_pouitochosi: fyi, v0.7 tag uploaded23:03
ochosieverything will change in this respect anyway with the settings-manager of xfce 4.1023:03

knomeheh23:04
knomei'd rather have that...23:04
mr_pouit(let's not file too many exceptions though, so it's probably ok witht he mixer in multimedia)23:05
knomeyup23:05
knomemr_pouit, want to add patches or so to the bugs?23:05
mr_pouitwe've already filed more exceptions recently than all previous cycles :}23:05
knomei know... :<23:05
ochosiit's not necessarily bad23:06
ochosiit means at least _something_ is moving (even if late)23:06
knomehehe23:06
ochosiok, just fyi i'll be offline tomorrow the whole day23:08
knomeouch.23:08
ochosii have to teach @university all day23:08
knomewill you be back even at the evening?23:08
ochosinot sure23:08
knomeokay23:08
ochosii think i'll be dead-tired after 6hrs of teaching (in a row)23:08
knomein that case, have a nice day, and hopefully you feel bad about leaving us to handle the FFe23:09
knome;)23:09
ochosii know beta-freeze is tomorrow, but really there isn't anything we would wanna do this last-minute23:09

knomeyeah, sure23:09
ochosiknome: nah, not really, i filed them, you said you'd take them from there ;)23:09

ochosisounds like "getting things knome" :)23:10

knomeat least it's not completly brainless lart23:16
ochosiyup23:16
knomethough i don't think the "i like the old logo, but the new colors" -comments add much to the discussion23:16
ochosibut really, one month after the release people will have forgotten this23:16
knomesurely23:16
knomeand especially after they've seen it in context, as you said23:16
knomethat's really what matters23:16
knomehow it works in the real world23:17
ochosiyup23:17
knomeand how come somebody can "prefer the full mouse"23:17
knomelol23:17
knomethat's a half mouse too...23:17
ochosihehe23:18
ochosiyeah23:18
ochosiin fact it's almost a natural consequence23:18
ochosithat the mouse got reduced even more23:18
knomeyup23:18
ochosias it was already cut the last time23:18
knomeyeah, and its eye was taken too23:18
ochosia pirate mouse!23:18
knomeand the nerds bag below the eye23:18
knome;)23:18
knomei always thought the xfce mouse looks tired23:19
ochosibtw, you could always enlighten the people ranting about the "not looking like a mouse anymore" with the knowledge that the mouse has also disappeared from the start-page of xfce.org ;)23:21
knomeheh23:21
knomethat's a good point23:21
ochosiit has become pretty marginal23:21
knomemaybe we should add that to the blog article23:21
ochosisure, go ahead23:21
mr_pouitdebdiff attached to the indicator-sound bug report23:23
mr_pouitochosi: patch for xfce4-volumed uploaded23:24
ochosivery nice23:24
knomemr_pouit, want to add something to the other bug ?23:25
mr_pouitlooks ok to me, thanks23:26
mr_pouityou can play with your FFe thing :P23:26
knomehah23:27
knomethanks23:27
knomeThe picmark is still based on the Xfce mouse, but it's more simplified and designed to be easier to drop in various places. As we have heard comments about the picmark not looking a mouse any more or having too little mouse in it, we would like to make a note that even the Xfce website doesn't have the mouse anymore. Altogether, the mouse is becoming more marginal than it was before.23:27
knomehow does that sound?23:27
knomei have the feeling it's a bit defensive, but that's not intentional23:27
ochosifirst off: don't generalize, the mouse is still on some parts of the xfce site23:28
ochosijust not the front-page23:28
ochosiand yes, it sounds pretty defensive23:28
ochosii wouldn't do that23:28
ochosialso, what do you mean by "designed to be easier to drop in various places"?23:29
mr_pouittry to sound more optimistic: "the new logo was adopted on a broad consensus and immediately got a lot of feedback from the community"23:29
* mr_pouit runs23:29
knomethat it works better on different contexts23:29
ochosihihi23:29
knomewell, there's the answer to that, rewritten.23:30
knomeThe picmark is still based on the Xfce mouse, but it's more simplified and designed to work better on different contexts. As we have heard comments about the picmark not looking a mouse any more or having too little mouse in it, we would like to make a note that even the frontpage of the Xfce website doesn't feature the mouse anymore. Altogether, the mouse is becoming more marginal than it was before.23:31
ochosi"in different contexts"23:31
knomeyes23:32
ochosi"not looking a mouse" > "not resembling a mouse"23:32
knomei think we're using too much letters to tell this23:32
ochosi"too many"23:32
knomeAAAARGH23:32
ochosihehe23:32
knome"While the picmark has lost some similarity with the original Xfce mouse, we'd like to note that the mouse is becoming more marginal. For example, it's not even featured on the frontpage of the Xfce website!"23:35
knomethat sounds defensive too, doesn't it?23:35
knome"While the picmark has lost some similarity with the original Xfce mouse, there's a trend making the mouse is becoming more marginal. For example, it's not even featured on the frontpage of the Xfce website!"23:35
knomeerr23:35
knomethat didn't make sense, ignore23:36
knome"While the picmark has lost some similarity with the original Xfce mouse, there's a trend making the mouse more marginal. For example, it's not even featured on the frontpage of the Xfce website!"23:36
knomethat does.23:36
knomeexcept there's some language fail23:36
knomewhat's the verb for trend?23:36
knome...trend of the mouse becoming more marginal altogether23:37
knome?23:37
knomemr_pouit, 01:34  skaet: knome,  it means I'm postponing my dinner to go look at it.   :)23:37
knomemr_pouit, i think something is working.23:37
ochosii would really argue that the further reduction of the mouse is a logical step from the last logo-change23:38
ochosiand only mention the xfce-page in a sidenote23:38
knomelet me try to phrase that23:38
ochosiwho knows whether the folks @xfce-dev agree with the logo (or the "trend")23:38
knomewell, i don't think they can (dis)allow any trends ;)23:39
ochosiyeah, but the trend might be a construction23:39
ochosior: not intended23:39
knomemr_pouit, 01:39  cjwatson: knome: gotcha; seed fiddling required, I'll look tomorrow morning23:40
knome"The picmark is still based on the Xfce mouse, but it's more simplified and designed to work better in different contexts. While the picmark has lost some similarity with the original Xfce mouse, reducing the complexity is a logical step from the last logo change."23:40
knomewould that go?23:40
GridCubemight i ask somethig?23:41
knomethat's MUCH better, and it's not really defensive, it's just justifying23:41
knomeGridCube, sure.23:41
GridCubewhy is it a logical step?23:41
knomeerr, rationalizing would be better word even23:41
knomeGridCube, we dropped some of the mouse on our last logo change23:41
knomeGridCube, including the eye and two whiskers23:41
knomeGridCube, isn't it a logical direction to reduce a bit more?23:42
knomeGridCube, rather than add features back?23:42
GridCube... well that would mean that the direction is a blue circle?23:42
knomeblaupunkt, yes23:42
knomei've always liked that logo23:42
ochosi:)23:42
knomeGridCube, essentially, yes, that's the direction. but not the goal :)23:42
GridCubemmm. i can not agree to that23:43
knomeochosi, you like the last version?23:43
knomeochosi, i don't think we actually want to mention the xfce website. we link to it with the Xfce word anyway, people can find that our theirself.23:43
ochosi"in different contexts" + "and sizes."23:43
knomemm-hmm23:43
knomei also s/original Xfce mouse/Xfce mouse/23:44
knomehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaupunkt :)23:45
knomei really like that logo23:45
knomethough i don't like the 'blau' tone ;)23:45
knomemaybe we should make the xubuntu text italic23:45
ochosii had a car-radio once that was by blaupunkt23:45
GridCube...23:45
ochosithey have a good reputation around here23:45
knomeGridCube, what? :)23:46
knomeGridCube, i'm just kidding with italic23:46
knomeGridCube, oblique is much better, if it's available23:46
knomeGridCube, no really, i'm just kidding. let's make it bold.23:47
GridCubeXD23:47
GridCubeoh okay23:47
GridCubeXD23:47
knomeyeah, i'm definitely not going to change the text23:47
knomenormal is just good.23:47
ochosiyou mean to "buxuntu"?23:47
knomehahah23:47
knomeNO, it's knomebuntu, didn't we agree this on the secret #xubuntu-conspiracies channel!??23:48
GridCubeoh, did you read the blogpost from the kubuntu people, they are considering, or so he says, about changing the kubuntu name23:48
knomeoops23:48
knome:)23:48
knomereally?23:48
GridCubehe asks if it could be a good idea23:49
GridCubehttp://blogs.kde.org/node/454723:49

knomeyeah, he isn't suggesting any names though23:49
