knomesee you, i'm running already! ->07:25
micahgumm, lightdm-gtk-greeter uploaded...07:27
astraljavamicahg: mr_pouit: Am I right in saying that the only changes 'engineering wise' regarding Xubuntu only were the xubuntu-artwork update and the xubuntu-meta update for replacing mixer with pavucontrol? I didn't see any other archive changes in the logs for the past few days?07:36
micahgastraljava: lightdm-gtk-greeter source uploaded (affects other teams)07:37
astraljavaSadly I didn't pay that much attention previously, as I jumped to this co-position only yesterday...07:37
micahgastraljava: hehe, thanks for helping :)07:37
astraljavamicahg: Ok, didn't know it was Xubuntu-sourced change. Thanks!07:37
micahgwell, our devs did it :)07:37
astraljavaRight, I guess that makes it so. :)07:37
micahgon behalf of the rest of the flavors07:37
micahgastraljava: blueman updated07:38
astraljava...for which I thank thee on behalf of Studio! :)07:38
micahgastraljava: just look for mr_pouit uploads: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2012-March/thread.html07:38
astraljavamicahg: Ahh... that seems like a list I should subcribe to.07:38
astraljavamadnick: Mail sent. Thanks micahg, knome!07:57
micahgastraljava: lightdm-gtk-greeter was already upload, did you mean to include it in both sections?07:58
astraljavamicahg: Gah... I misread the section title. I'll write a correction.07:59
astraljavagrrr... stupid mutt.08:13
astraljava...and c&p... oh well, that'll do, I don't wanna spam any more. :)08:17
ochosican anyone confirm that gmusicbrowser has disappeared from indicator-sound in precise?10:00
ochosi(i mean the launcher that's there even when gmusicbrowser isn't running)10:00
ochosi(when gmusicbrowser is running, it's displayed there)10:00
ochosiagainst which package would i report the bug? indicator-sound? xubuntu-default-settings?10:01

mr_pouito hai13:26
knomehey13:31
ochosimr_pouit: ok, so i shall file a bugreport and attach this as patch? or do you actually want me to test it?14:02
ochosimr_pouit: ok, since it seemed a bit too trivial to test it, here's the bug: #96311414:07

astraljavaI'm in a bus, on my way to my mom's, so connection might be tricky, but I'll try to manage the meeting.14:51
knomeheh :)14:52
knomek14:52
knomei'm hungry.14:59
astraljavaknome: Pardon me, but it seems that my laptop's battery is going bad, and it tells me I only have 40 minutes left. I'm not sure whether we'll make it to Xubuntu in that time. Is there a chance you could answer any questions regarding it?15:13
astraljava...or madnick, for that matter. But I understood he's not online at the moment.15:14
GridCubeim doing today's test and im finding a problem when trying to launch the "OnBoard Configuration" from "configuration"(¿I guess thats the name in english?) and im getting a "cant be reported because of a "shared-mime-info" is obsolete?15:24
GridCubein fact onboard itself fails to launch15:35
GridCubethe "undo" button on the calculator lacks an icon15:42
GridCubefor some reason catfish will autodefault to search its own folder instead of ~/15:44
scott-workare there any outstanding FFe's that still require approval for beta15:44

scott-workfrom the release-meeting15:51
scott-work<ScottK> BTW, there was a volunteer to test powerpc images for Xubuntu on (IIRC) the QA list today. [10:46] <Riddell> volunteers to test the kubuntu images on arm welcome [10:47] <scott-work> skaet: i think he was on a tram with a laptop and low battery [10:47] <skaet> ScottK, interesting,  that's not one on Xubuntu's manifest for this release. [10:47] <ScottK> Yes.  They specifically asked if it could be added back. [10:415:51

scott-work<ScottK> Yes.  They specifically asked if it could be added back.15:52
scott-work<ScottK> IIRC it was just dropped due to lack of testers.15:52
scott-work<skaet> pitti, cjwatson,  ^ thoughts?15:52
scott-work<pitti> question for xubuntu really; if someone wants them and can test them, sure15:53
scott-work<pitti> we should just keep in mind that adding a powerpc image quadruples image build time15:53
scott-work<ScottK> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-qa/2012-March/002054.html15:53
scott-work<pitti> in case they need fast turnarounds for bug fixes15:53
scott-work<pitti> but that's not a big blocker, of course15:53
scott-work<ScottK> skaet: I'm not sure there are Xubuntu people active on that list.  Could you follow up with them since they aren't here?15:53
scott-work<skaet> I'll follow up with Xubuntu team offline.15:53
astraljavascott-work: Thanks! I spoke to skaet, and we could have a chat about powerpc later today. knome: mr_pouit: madnick: micahg: Able to participate in that talk?15:58

astraljavaGridCube: How are your language settings?17:10
GridCubei installed it on es 17:11
GridCubethats for spañish17:11

GridCubeeven if i launch it wit he LANGUAGE=en the keyboard layout still is on latam :P17:12
astraljavalatam?17:13
GridCubeyes, latin amreican17:13
GridCubetheres two main layouts for spañish keyboard, Spain Layout and LatinAmerican Layout17:14
GridCubeand then theres a lot more, but i've never seen them, i mean there are dvorak keyboards to and all that but i've never seen them17:15
astraljavaRight. Well, bzr log says it's fixed almost a week ago already, but the version in precise has latest debian/changelog entry from Feb. 21st.17:16
astraljavaIt's troublesome, as this affects all flavors. I'm not sure we can do much about it.17:21
GridCubei don't follow17:21
GridCubeyou mean its not affecting just xubuntu¿17:22
astraljavaWell, not all, but it's in the tasks: ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-usb, edubuntu-desktop and edubuntu-usb.17:22
astraljava...as well as xubuntu-desktop.17:23
astraljavaI guess this issue has to be escalated to the Desktop Team.17:23
GridCubemmkay, glad i spot it now then :317:24
astraljavaYep. Do you want to raise the issue there?17:24
GridCubeochosi: i tried all the iconsets and they all broke the calculator17:24
GridCubeastraljava: i don't know how to, and your voice would be heard faster i say :D17:24
astraljavaNot really, haven't dealt with that team before at all.17:25
GridCubeill do it if you want me to, but i don't really know what to say17:26
astraljavaGridCube: I'd just join the appropriate channel, voice the problem and link to the bug in LP. They will either pick up on it, or instruct on how to proceed with getting it updated.17:27
GridCube:) ok, whats the channel?17:27
astraljavaIt should be #ubuntu-desktop.17:27
GridCubedone :)17:32
astraljavaMost excellent! Thanks a bunch! :)17:36
micahgastraljava: I'm around now, still need me?17:54
knomeastraljava, hmmp. i'm okay with the PPC build, but i'm not going to start supporting it officially, not even semi-officially, and i don't think we can throw next to any developer time to it17:55
astraljavamicahg: Kate hasn't started the discussion yet, but it regards the powerpc support. Do we have testers enough to support the manifest for precise?17:56
micahgastraljava: who is we in this case?17:56
astraljavamicahg: Xubuntu Team.17:56
knomemicahg, http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-03232012-064511pm.php17:56
knomeastraljava, if we have *one* volunteer, err, no17:56
micahgastraljava: no idea, that's why we dropped it in the first place17:56
knomemicahg, fix that!!!!17:57
knome;)17:57
micahgknome: I don't have working hardware ATM17:57
knomemicahg, awwh17:57
knomemicahg, in that case... you can tell somebody else to fix that :)17:57
astraljavamicahg: That's what I was afraid of. I don't really know who that one volunteer is, but it was brought up in the release meeting today, and Kate was about to talk about it here.17:57
knomeskaet, 17:58
knome19:55  knome: astraljava, hmmp. i'm okay with the PPC build, but i'm not going to start supporting it officially, not even semi-officially, and i don't think we can throw next to any developer time to it17:58
knomeskaet, that ^17:58
skaethiya knome,  I don't know who the volunteer is either.17:59
skaetand adding it will slow down your rebuild times...17:59
micahgI don't mind adding back powerpc, we're in good shape regarding that17:59
micahgthe problem was without a tester, it was never releasable18:00
knomeskaet, please find out and tell him to stop at this channel, and we can rethink the issue together18:00
skaetmicahg,  it will make the xubuntu rebuilds about 4x slower if we have powerpc in the set, until all are done building.18:00
knomeskaet, also, if micahg can confirm he has the time to do at least some bugfixes for that, i'm okay with that too18:00
micahgthe only developer time is shuffling langpacks to not be oversized18:00
knomeskaet, but probably after PP, not *for* PP18:01
skaetknome,  fair enough.18:01
micahgskaet: we can always build it and not block on it18:01
micahgknome: time, idk, but I try to fix those build issues in any event for xubuntu packages18:02
skaetmicahg, I think that looking at how we can stop blocking on it as part of the build infrastructure would give us more options.   we're not there yet, and unlikely to get there for P.18:02
knomemicahg, mm-hmm. 4× slower rebuilds doesn't sound good >__<18:02
astraljavaWhat machinery would run a powerpc build? If I get a job, I might be interested in getting some, if there are any cheaper ones.18:03
micahgskaet: oh, you can't publish until they're all finished?18:03
skaetmicahg, yeah. :(18:03
micahgastraljava: old Macs, IBM POWER servers18:03
knomeastraljava, ps3? ;)18:03
skaetmicahg, We can manually invoke a subset, but it gets fiddly and when things are under pressure, its another thing to get wrong, so I'd prefer to avoid it.18:04
astraljavaknome: But they pulled the support for installing other OS, didn't they? An older MBP I could think of acquiring.18:04
knomeastraljava, yeah, in the later revisions, or that might be related to the OS version too.18:04
micahgastraljava: right, idk if ps3 is even unofficially supported at this point18:04
astraljavamicahg: Gotcha.18:05
knomeastraljava, you could try buying one with nhl '11, and see if that works first.18:05
micahgskaet: are we getting a faster powerpc image builder, or did that already happen?18:05
astraljavaknome: I'll get back to the matter if/when I have a job.18:06
knome:)18:06
skaetmicahg, ticket to swap in the faster PPC has been waiting for over 5 months now, so I'm not optimistic we'll get it this cycle.18:06
astraljavaSo, I think the conclusion is not to add PPC builds for PP, we'll revise the decision for the PP+1. No?18:13
knomeyes, i think that's the most sensible thing to do at this point18:15
* skaet notes. :)18:16
astraljavaThanks. :)18:17
* genii-around ponders the two Molar Macs he has sitting at home under the stairs18:18
* astraljava goes to google for Molar Macs18:18
genii-aroundPPC 75018:19
micahgskaet: would you be averse to adding PPC for a point release if the testing and image building issues are fixed?18:20
skaetmicahg, yes.  Long time to support, and not what the interest level in the old version wll be like in 2 years time.18:23
skaets/yes/yes, I am averse to adding it to the point release/18:23
skaet:)18:23
genii-aroundastraljava: If someone is willing to pay shipping from Toronto to where you are, one or both of them are yours for free18:24
astraljavagenii-around: Thanks, but shipping such monsters to Finland, some 10k+ miles from Toronto, is probably more expensive than buying some here. :) Appreciate the thought, though.18:25
genii-aroundastraljava: OK18:26
astraljavaWell, maybe not 10k+ miles, but kilometres at least. :)18:27
micahgskaet: I would only consider it as a preview and non-blocking, not a firm commitment18:28
skaetmicahg, new hardware being added in point releases should only be used for firm commitments to support for the entire period.  The next development release seems like the best option for preview/non-blocking.18:35
GridCubeastraljava: they never answer on #ubuntu-desktop, so i don't know what to do and i have to go now, :/18:41
astraljavaGridCube: Ok, I'll join there and monitor if they react on it later.18:42
GridCubemmkay want me to repost my question??18:43
astraljavaYes, please. Thanks!18:44
GridCubethere :)18:45
GridCubegotta go now, see yah18:45
astraljavaThanks!18:48
astraljavaSee ya later.18:48
astraljavamicahg: Alright, how do we go about it? An FFe (re: onboard)?18:55
