astraljavaThanks phillw. Some small changes regarding artwork.14:19
astraljavaThere's been a change to mixer settings.14:19
astraljavaWe now prefer pavucontrol over xfce4-mixer for Xubuntu session.14:20
astraljavaIt partially works, unmuting still isn't fool-proof.14:20
astraljavaThere was also an icon issue found in indicator-plugin.14:20
astraljavaThere are _no_ icons if T-bird is not running, but placeholders when it is. It also concerns Evolution, so not technically Xubuntu-related only.14:21
astraljavaNew translations were requested for Abiword.14:21
astraljavaI'm working on it together with the Debian maintainer, but expecting to just update the po/ directory.14:22
astraljavaNothing more for Xubuntu, IIRC.14:22

phillwEffenbergAway: it has been allocated to the Canonical Desktop Team, so I'm sure it is being worked on14:35
EffenbergAwayThanks Philw :)14:35
BECI mailed yesternight about LyX; could someone check the package in the Software Center plz?14:35
phillwskaet: could you ask the Desktop team for an update and put it onto the bug?14:36

BECany idea of its possible cause?14:42
phillwBEC: I've found that getting a few 'affects me' people onto a bug gets it noticed as it raises the heat.14:42

EffenbergAwayThe old solution (from OO cycle), to remove .Xauthority is not working14:55

slangasek[TOPIC] Bugs15:18
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Bugs
bdmurraywhen I was looking at update-manager bugs I ran across bug 28995215:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 289952 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "update-manager rewrites sources.list to only use official mirrors" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/28995215:19
cjwatsonthere's a config knob for that, though it isn't well-documented15:19
bdmurrayand it just seems to me that option for allowing third party sources isn't well known15:20
slangasekhmm, this was discussed at UDS15:20
bdmurraycjwatson: right, so I wonder what we can do to make it more well documented15:20
slangasekit was agreed we should be disabling third-party sources for the upgrade, but re-enabling them afterwards15:20
slangasek(but hasn't gotten done yet)15:20
cjwatsonslangasek: that doesn't address the "faster downloads from local mirror" problem, though, so wouldn't deal with this bug15:21
slangasekah15:21
cjwatsonTBH none of update-manager's configuration is particularly documented; it probably needs somebody to go through the whole thing and write a man page or something ...15:22
cjwatson(also, many of its configuration options are misspelled)15:22
slangasekis the local mirror thing worth documenting in the release noteS?15:22
slangasekunder "how to upgrade"15:22
bdmurrayisn't it too late in the release cycle for updating the man page?15:22
cjwatsonnot if somebody has time to do the work15:23
cjwatsonit may be too late to find anyone with time ;-)15:23
cjwatsonslangasek: yes15:23
cjwatson(imo)15:23
slangasekbdmurray: can you open a task on ubuntu-release-notes for it?15:23
cjwatsonI have a different approach locally - I have /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/local-mirrors.cfg with:15:23
cjwatson[Sources]15:23
cjwatsonValidMirrors=/etc/update-manager/local-mirrors15:24
cjwatsonand /etc/update-manager/local-mirrors with:15:24
cjwatsonhttp://mirror/ubuntu15:24
cjwatsonhttp://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu15:24
cjwatson# etc.15:24
bdmurrayslangasek: sure15:24
cjwatsonthat's a bit more fiddly to set up though, and I haven't actually tested it in anger for a while15:24
bdmurraybug 964812 is also regarding update-manager and the modifications it makes to sources.list15:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 964812 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "release upgrade failed because of missing essential package ubuntu-minimal" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96481215:26
slangasekdoesn't that reduce to the same issue though?15:28
slangasekThe best I think we can do there is improve the error message15:28
* slangasek follows up to the bug with that15:30
bdmurrayIf you look at Screenlog.txt you'll see that it uses archive.ubuntu.com and de2.archive.ubuntu.com with odd comibnations15:31
bdmurrayprecise-updates/main15:31
bdmurrayprecise/multiverse15:31
bdmurrayprecise-backports/main15:32
bdmurraybut no precise/main15:32
slangasekhmm15:33
bdmurraymaybe we need their original sources.list?15:33
slangasekI think so15:34
slangasekfollowed up15:35
bdmurrayokay, then in bug 965819 the reporter indicates that reiserfsprogs wasn't installed15:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 965819 in mountall (Ubuntu) "mount fail during boot-up" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96581915:35
cjwatsonhooray, fairly sure I've got bug 79265215:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 792652 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) "ubiquity crashed with ValueError in command(): I/O operation on closed file" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/79265215:36
stgraberyay!15:36
slangasek\o/15:36
slangasekcjwatson: does reiserfsprogs get pulled in at install time if you format reiserfs?15:36
cjwatsonyes, it should do; that bug is odd15:37
slangasekok15:37
slangasekI don't think that's a high priority bug then15:37
cjwatsonit would be if it were failing :)15:37
cjwatsonreassigned to ubiquity and incompleted15:37
bdmurrayslangasek: sources.list was in the clone file15:38
slangasekoh, oops15:38
cjwatsonmaybe fails when reusing an existing /home filesystem, although from the code I don't see why it would15:38
bdmurrayit seems like update-manager should at least make sure main is enabled15:39
slangasekbdmurray: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.list seems to have the answer to the strange output15:40
slangasekyes, u-m *is* making sure main is enabled, by erroring out if it isn't... :)15:41
slangasekI don't think it would be productive for u-m to go editing the sources.list to add main to a mirror of its choice15:42
cjwatsonprerequists> speaking of misspellings ...15:42
bdmurrayslangasek: okay but a more descriptive error message would help here15:42
slangasekyes, agreed15:43
bdmurraythose three are the only bugs I had for us15:44
slangasekok15:44
slangasekthe rls-p-tracking list has gotten longer again I see15:45
slangasekcjwatson: 972250, is the fix for that uploaded?  the report shows it as in-progress15:45
slangasek[LINK] http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/kernel-bugs/reports/rls-p-tracking-bugs.html15:45
slangasekbug #97225015:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 972250 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "regression from 4k_sectors.patch: "non-sector-aligned data is found in the core file"" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97225015:45
cjwatsonslangasek: yes, uploaded15:45
cjwatsonthe list is a day out of date as usual15:45
slangasekdoh15:46
slangasekanything on that list that looks at-risk to have for 12.04?15:47
slangaseki.e., please review your assigned bugs there and shout if you don't think the fix is getting in15:47
cjwatsonI *think* all my >=High ones are still OK15:48
stgraberI only had a quick look at bug 772470 but not being able to reproduce (ENOWINDOWS) makes it difficult to work on15:48
ubottuLaunchpad bug 772470 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) "os-prober doesn't detect Windows partition but the recovery partition instead" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77247015:48

stgraberso I'm happy to swap bugs with someone ;)15:49
slangasekstgraber: do you need windows licenses for testing?  we have those15:49
cjwatsonthe direction of http://people.canonical.com/~rspencer/rls_bugs.svg is certainly unpleasant15:50
cjwatson(though that's all teams)15:50
slangasek*someone* is gonna have to run windows to reproduce this issue, so I'm not sure swapping helps us any :)15:50
cjwatsonI just nuked my windows install to do EFI testing; although I did keep a backup15:51
stgraberslangasek: yeah, I guess having a standard version of windows would help (I only have windows 8 and windows 2008 DC edition), I'm not totally sure how to reproduce the Windows part of that setup though, doesn't look like what you get with a default install15:51
cjwatsonregarding the page title in screen reader bug, which is now assigned to me, I've asked #ubuntu-accessibility for advice on what the desired behaviour should be and am awaiting a response15:51
slangasekstgraber: oh right, you need a recovery partition to reproduce it, don't you :/15:51
bdmurrayI have a dual boot system with a recovery partition (I think)15:52
slangasekbdmurray: want to hack on os-prober?15:52
cjwatsonit's actually ubiquity that needs hacking, as I explained in that bug15:52
slangasekoh15:53
slangasekbdmurray: want to hack on ubiquity? :)15:53
cjwatsoncomment 515:53
slangasekbdmurray: doesn't sound like it ;)  Alternatively can you get stgraber access to your machine for testing, or send him a disk image?15:54
bdmurrayslangasek: sure, I'm happy to help15:55
slangasekstgraber, bdmurray: you two can sort it out from there then?15:55

MrChrisDruifIs Facebook only viewed as an Communication channel or also as help channel?20:08

phillwMrChrisDruif: amjjawad is best to answer that.20:09
MrChrisDruifamjjawad; your view on this?20:09
amjjawadMrChrisDruif: both but I tend to use it MORE for comms than help20:09
MrChrisDruifThat is what I've been noticing, but that answers my question20:10
MrChrisDruif^_^20:10
amjjawadFacebook doesn't have the 'experinced needed users' for support and help while other channels have20:10
phillwMrChrisDruif: as you do, I try to answer an question with a link to our wiki area.20:10
amjjawadthat is why it is BETTER to use it as a Comms Tool for Updates, News and some Tips :)20:11
amjjawadend of my humble personal opinion :D20:11
kanliotfacebook is fantastic right now.  so much happy people and energy20:11

gilirphillw, let's finish MrChrisDruif, I'll go back to you after20:28
MrChrisDruifWe had a new team member for maybe an hour for about an hour or so20:29
MrChrisDruifIt was "littlegirl" (IRC name) but right after I had spoken to her I had to go offline to get to bed20:29
MrChrisDruifAfter I left the conversation continued and it had a funny twist somewhere and she decided to leave again.20:30
MrChrisDruifI've send her an email tonight and hope she'll reply to that.20:30
MrChrisDruifShe came with the idea for my next item anyway.20:31
gilirMrChrisDruif, ok, we will discuss it after this point, anything to add ?20:31
MrChrisDruifI've noticed that people started to translate the Lubuntu wiki to Spanish, but I've got to get some contact with those people so we are all on one line20:31
wxlMrChrisDruif: as i'm sure you've noticed they all seem to be on the facebook group20:32
MrChrisDruifwxl; yup, but I'd like them to be in the launchpad group as well, so we can talk more easily and also show the "world" that I'm not doing this gig alone20:33
MrChrisDruifI can't think of anything to add to this topic.20:33

gilir#topic MrChrisDruif - Offline documentation, wanted?20:37
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | Lubuntu Team Meeting Meeting | Current topic: MrChrisDruif - Offline documentation, wanted?
MrChrisDruifYes, littlegirl suggested this one actually20:38
gilirMrChrisDruif, let's introduce your topic, I'll add my point after :)20:38
gilirMrChrisDruif, is it a copy of the wiki documentation available offline, or another documentation source ?20:39
MrChrisDruifOffline documentation is something for people who want to install Lubuntu on computers without internet connection20:39
MrChrisDruifUse-case: If I'd install Lubuntu on one of my grandparents computer e.g.20:39
MrChrisDruifThey would just "use" it without trying to install new software20:40
bioterrorwould that offline documentation be localized? how about images?20:41
MrChrisDruifBut if they have questions that aren't answered by the man-pages (if I could even explain to them how to get there) then this would come in handy20:41
MrChrisDruifTo add to that are man-pages pretty technical most of the time20:41
MrChrisDruifbioterror; I don't know what you mean with images, but that offline documentation should be localized ideally20:42
MrChrisDruifThe current kubuntu-docs was about 45MB if I remember correctly what littlegirl mentioned20:42
wxlMrChrisDruif: i think if i understand bioterror he means that traditionally localized documentation would be in the form of man pages which are pretty much incompatible with images and a lot of formatting that is to be expected with wiki pages20:43
phillwgilir: could 45MB be squeezed on?20:43
gilirphillw, space is not a problem on our CD20:44
wxlthe only way i could see getting around that would be using html20:44
wxlsomehow it would have to be integrated in such a way that it would be clear how to get help20:44
MrChrisDruifNot for this release of course, but this item on the gauge interest in this20:44
gilirmy main concern is to maintain another source of documentation, disconnected from the wiki20:44
Myrttibioterror: in practice that is for the local respins/remixes to do and include on the installation media, it could be packaged as a lubuntu-documentation-<ISO language code> whatever in the repos for downloading and the documentation included with the CD in the other flavours has AFAIK been HTML20:44
wxla .desktop under System Tools perhaps20:44
phillwwxl: Mac comes with 'view internal help'. Love them or hate them, having that facility there is a plus.20:44
MrChrisDruifAfter that I'll have to look into how to make it happen20:45
Myrttialthough my memories on the subject go back to 200620:45
wxland then how to syn?20:45
wxlsync i mean20:45
wxli guess the only way for that to happen is it would have to be a package20:45
kanliotwell IMHO, right now we have 0 offline documentation.  We could start with a little documentation.  like a few pages.  Can we make that happen?20:45
bioterrorMyrtti, if I remember right finns has own spin? I think I'll check it one day ;)20:45
Myrttiyup20:45
wxland on the back end someone would have to maintain the package, i.e. turn the raw wiki pages into a package for distribution20:45
MrChrisDruifkanliot; I think so, maybe not for this release but just accumulate over time20:46
wxli love this idea, don't get me wrong, but it's not just a simple easy thing to do i don't think20:46
Myrttisounds like a job for LaTeX/other similar markup language20:46
MrChrisDruifwxl; I'm not say it'll be easy, but this item is just to gauge interest20:46
MyrttiI've forgotten their names20:46
MrChrisDruifAfter that I'd have to look into how to make it happen20:47
kanliotcan we agree to make the docs, not specific to any distribution, so we don't have to update it for each version?20:47
phillwwxl: in the past few months, we have been quietly getting all support to wiki. Exporting wiki to CD is not a major problem :)20:47
wxlMrChrisDruif: well sometimes interest is not sufficient :D the docs team is not composed of package maintainers (tho i'd be happy to take on the task!)20:47
gilirMrChrisDruif, the interest is real for everyone, just need a good way to do / maintain it20:47
wxli hear many users in #lubuntu asking for help with this or that due to the lack of an internet connection20:47
wxlthink of what a pain it must be for them to get online to ask!20:48
wxland then imagine all the other folks that don't have that other option…20:48
phillwwxl: We can export our wiki area.20:48
MrChrisDruifAl right, I'll get in touch with kubuntu with how they do things. Hopefully they can teach us how to do it20:48
phillwI do not mean it is an easy task, but it is do-able.20:49
kanlioti don't like this project.  it's too vague20:49
wxlkanliot: ?20:50
phillwkanliot: talk to me later :)20:50
