knomeochosi, http://typewith.me/p/Ew1RtC2xCS00:01
GridCube:( it not loading00:10
knomeyeah, it just went mad.00:11
knomelet's wait some hours00:11
knomeit'll surely come back00:11
knomeif not, i'll type it again00:11
knomebut not with ".me"00:11
GridCube:)00:21
* knome just ate some *wonderful* bread00:22
* knome burrrrps00:22
knomeoopsie00:22
astraljavaknome: Good to know, but are there instructions on how to use it? It's not very... obvious. :)07:12
astraljavaknome: Also, can you fill in for today's QA roundtable? I'm most likely unavailable, though not 100% certain, yet.07:12
astraljavaknome: Oh, and one more thing. Could you please refrain from burping into the channel. The stench is unbearable, and stays for ages.07:16
knomeastraljava, can you remind me - to use what?08:00
knomeastraljava, umgh, what time was the QA roundtable? was that 19 local?08:01
knomeastraljava, and; no.08:01
knome:P08:01
astraljava:D08:01
astraljavaThe minutes-miracle-worker.08:02
knomeaha. well, you still need to be able to use common sense. to use it, just put in a date, like 2012-06-21, and press create08:02
knomeit will forward you to an "edit page" view, with all the headers in place08:02
knomei could possibly add some examples on how content is supposed to be formatted under those, if it'd help08:03
astraljavaNah. It just seemed like all you needed to do was add some data (yes, a date), and voilá, there you have it. No indication of it being a multi-step process. Fine, I'll work it out next week. :)08:04
knomeno, it's not that easy, at least yet.08:04
knomewe'd need to get AlanBell convinced to fix and push changes to meetingology, so it could produce exactly the output we want08:05
knomeat that point, i don't think we would be far from meetingology posting the minutes automatically08:05
knomemeetingology isn't perfect as it is by any means really; it doesn't even format the lists for items in meetings correctly :(08:07
meetingologyknome: Error: "isn't" is not a valid command.08:07
astraljavaYeah well, I suppose if we file bugs, we're more than welcome to go code it ourselves, too. *smirk* 08:07
knomei'll talk with AlanBell now08:08
knomeastraljava, /join #meetingology08:09
knomeastraljava, i'm assuming you have followed the discussion on ubuntu-release ML?08:31
knomeanyway, uh, i'm not completely sure if i can make the QA roundtable either08:34
knomebut i'll try08:34
astraljavaknome: I don't think I have, what discussion might you be referring to?08:36
knomethe "milestones without freezes", especially the last mails between scottk and jono08:41
knomeanyway, i'm off08:42
knomesee you later, and let's follow-up on that ^ discussion08:42
astraljavaOk.08:44
ochosimadnick: ping09:09
astraljavaknome: Ok, I read a few emails on that thread. I'm thinking someone's doing a very big thing out of nothing. I don't particularly care what vanilla decides to do. We can try to accommodate whatever process they're choosing, if we can't, then we do things Our Way™.09:33
astraljavaI don't really feel like partaking in that conversation, unless something really dramatically ticks me off. So far, hasn't.09:33
knomewell, did you read the last comments?09:35
knomelooks like there's going to be no support for the community really.09:35
knomeat least if jono gets to decide09:35
knomeso it's back to "mind your own business" -mode, now that i'm not saying he's not awesome.09:36
knomeochosi, http://typewith.me/p/Ew1RtC2xCS seems to work again.09:39
ochosimadnick: where's that key of yours and the lp-push! :)09:39
ochosibbl09:39
knomehf09:39
astraljavaErr... no, that's how it's always been. Nick throws these QA community meetings, where he coordinates those flavors that want assistance in theirs. But I don't think there's ever been a mandate that they have to do it.09:48
knomeaha09:48
knomei'm thinking jono doesn't know that then09:48
knomeanyway09:49
knomefsst09:49
astraljavaLet me read that message once more, to be sure I didn't miss anything. I really only glanced through, as I'm sort of busy at work anyway.09:49
astraljavaJust for clarification, which one let you into this understanding?09:49
knomei can't remember09:49
knomelet me see09:49
knomehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-June/001409.html09:50
knomethe first comment;09:50
knomeI don't think it is unreasonable for Canonical to focus its resources09:50
knomeon Ubuntu as opposed to the flavors.09:50
knomeand;09:50
knomeOther people are welcome to coordinate testing09:50
knomecampaigns and get others interested and excited about testing, but09:50
knomeNick's focus is explicitly on the Ubuntu ISOs.09:50
knomewell, is it really??09:50
astraljavaYes, it is. Notice the word 'ISO'. He does care about others' processes, mind you.09:52
astraljavaBut I tend to agree, how could he possibly take care of all the flavors, too?09:53
knomewell of course he can't, and isn't expected09:53
astraljavaI really see no problems here.09:53
knomeno, not a problem09:54
knomepointing you just to make sure you are aware of this09:54
knomeand if you probably want to take some action :)09:55
astraljavaOh ok. Yeah, to me, nothing of this comes off as a surprise. I don't (yet) get the feel that something's being taken away from us.09:55
knomeyup, that's true09:55
astraljavaMaybe I'm reading that wrong, but if Nick continues to chair (or at least somehow organize) those QA community meetings, and let's us participate (if not really direct) in the QA process (relating to tools and methods and whatnot), I'm fine.09:56
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
astraljavapleia2: If you have time today, at 1600 UTC, there's the QA roundtable meeting which I cannot participate in, sadly. gnome wasn't sure, either. If you could, it'd rawk muchly.12:14
astraljavaI'm gonna go now for several hours.12:14
ochosimadnick: ?13:36
madnickochosi: yeah sorry I was talking to people about production14:03
madnickThey closed at 4 tho :)14:03
ochosiok14:06
ochosimadnick: well if you have a chance to push, i'd love to push you to push! :)14:06
madnickochosi: oh, i did push14:06
ochosioh nice :)14:07
ochosii just returned to the office half an hour ago, havent checked yet14:07
madnickNow I fear the wrath of people because I have no idea about the license14:07
ochosii already selected gpl314:07
ochosibecause that's the license of unity-greeter14:07
madnickyeah, but do we have to push license text files onto lp?14:08
madnickpushed it, but it feels like a wasteful commit :P14:11
ochosimadnick: i'd simply follow unity-greeter in that15:13
ochosii think that what works for them should work for us15:13
ochosianyway, please let me or knome know if you need images (like xubuntu-logo)15:13
madnickochosi: will do15:14
ochosimadnick: also: we should closely monitor unity-greeter until 12.10beta or something for important changes/improvements that we could pull15:15
madnickokay :)15:16
hobgoblinquestion - if I have previously reported bugs against dailies and they are still present - note them on the tracker still? 15:27
hobgoblinI assume I should15:28
ochosimadnick: do you think we can make some kind of a schedule for the features on the whiteboard?15:33
ochosii mean just some kind of ETA so knome and i know when to ping/remind you ;)15:33
madnickochosi: midsummer + production meetings comming up, I mean, I will begin next week, but I don't think I will be done next friday15:39
ochosimadnick: ok. well i assume that re-arranging the loginbox and replacing the logo/background will be rather easy15:40
ochosimadnick: g-s-d will most likely be the tricky part, no?15:40
madnickYes, not gsd but xfsettingsd15:40
ochosiyeah, i know15:41
ochosijust wondering: what is gsd used for in unity-greeter?15:41
ochosii mean: what does it _do_15:41
ochosi(i know it's somehow related to the top panel indicators)15:41
madnickochosi: yeah15:43
madnicksettings15:43
ochosik, but what kind of?15:43
madnicktons, keyboard, background, xrandr, mouse15:43
madnicksound15:43
madnicknotications, well, what isnt it used for? :)15:44
ochosiyeah, but we really don't need all that in the greeter15:44
madnicknope15:44
ochosiwe can scrape at least half of them15:44
madnickdont acctually *need* any :P15:45
ochosiwould it be more manageable to just get rid of it in the first place, align the login-box and set the correct bg until next friday?15:46
madnicksure15:46
ochosiand the in a second step re-consider what we really _need_ and _want_ there15:46
ochosimaybe power-management and language support wouldn't be a mistake15:46
ochosibut sound-settings are really over-the-top15:46
madnickochosi: what do you mean by power management?15:49
madnickShutdown/Reboot/Sleep, or something more elaborate?15:49
ochosiwell firstly those things, yes15:49
ochosibut secondly something like xfpm15:49
madnickThose things can be done without any help from stuff such as this15:49
madnickliblightdm provides those15:49
ochosii.e. that if you run out of battery and you've set xfpm to get suspend on critical battery-status...15:50
madnickochosi: so dbus?15:51
ochosii'm not sure what kind of interfaces xfpm has15:52
ochosibut anyway, that is probably a bit far-fetched15:52
ochosilet's go for having what we have in gtk-greeter feature-wise first15:52
madnickokay15:53
ochosiok, i gotta go now15:55
ochosii'll check in with you on monday or tuesday15:55
ochosior maybe knome will15:55
ochosii definitely am away and without internet over the weekend15:55
madnickokay15:57
madnick:(15:57
madnickCya on monday/tue then :)15:57
ochosiyup!15:57
ochosi:)15:58
ochosihave a nice weekend and if you have questions before mon/tue ping knome ;D15:58
madnicksame :)16:06
pleia2hm, QA roundtable is not in -meeting I guess?16:10
pleia2maybe in -testing16:13
madnickpleia2: Its odd because, I usually get tons of emails about that, but this week I only got Kernel (who were not attending) and Hardware16:15
madnickAnd ours16:15
pleia2I just got astraljava say "pleia2, go to this meeting, thx" :)16:15
madnickYeah, it was usually in -meeting, everytime I've been at them16:16
madnickalways acctually16:16
pleia2the CC meeting is in an hour so maybe they were concerned about conflict16:16
* pleia2 shrugs16:17
pleia2they seem to be doing it in -testing though :)16:17
madnickpleia2: just a question16:18
madnickfor me it was usually on fridays16:18
madnickMaybe the day is wrong?16:18
pleia2I have no idea16:18
pleia2they are doing some kind of meeting with a UTAH demo though16:19
madnickpleia2: found it :) "20120620 People present (lines said) astraljava (37) "16:19
pleia2oooh, the meeting here?16:20
pleia2sorry, got confused16:20
madnickpleia2: no sorry, they seem to have changed days16:20
madnickUntil wednesday16:20
madnickhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings16:21
madnickI realize I am sorta rambling, but I have not sleept a lot this week :)16:21
pleia2yeah, this must be some bonus meeting16:22
knomeastraljava, sorry, i couldn't attend the meeting19:06
knomeastraljava, was damn tired and actually i went to sleep when the meeting started19:06
pleia2I idled, but couldn't pay much attention (work + CC meeting)19:11
knomei'm on the log19:12
Unit193I had planned on doing testing this week, but as the computer with Virtualbox (and the ISOs) has a seemingly unrecoverable partition failure, I don't think I'll be able to help with A2. :/19:29
* hobgoblin did one for Unit193 19:34
knomeUnit193, that's okay19:35
Unit193Not exactly, but it'll have to do.19:35
astraljavamadnick: That was a different meeting. The one you were thinking of is release. This was QA roundtable. :)21:14
knomeastraljava, hey :)21:15
knomeastraljava, i got access to the testcase admin.21:15
astraljavaSweet.21:15
knomeastraljava, you should ask balloons to add you to ~ubuntu-testcase too21:15
astraljavaOn it.21:15
knomegreat21:15
astraljavaSo what, you went to sleep at 7 pm? Are you sick‽21:18
astraljavaI'd understand if that was am. :D21:18
knomei took 1 hour nap21:22
astraljavaYeah ok. :)21:23
astraljavaI'm considering on whether to go to sleep or wait for the Irene Huss flick starting in 1.6 hours.21:23
knomethe.. what?21:23
astraljavahttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1825823/21:24
knomehmm, not very highly rated21:24
astraljavaNot really. But they're usually pretty good. And I'm fairly sure those ratings are very US-centric.21:24
knomeof course.21:24
astraljavaBesides, she's hawt.21:24
knomewell, if there's nothing scheduled for tomorrow, why not21:25
astraljavaThere's plenty; Bookmark to ubuntustudio.org in Firefox, Implement actor / alien centering option, display settings tweak.21:28
astraljavaActually, add there the Xchat default channel.21:29
knomeyeah, but nothing actually *scheduled*21:29
knomeastraljava, i suppose that's for both flavors O:)21:29
astraljavaI don't think I understand.21:29
astraljavaWell if you want.21:29
knomeyou haven't written a minute-based timetable for you, have you21:29
astraljavaWhat makes you say that?21:29
knomei know you.21:29
astraljavabah21:30
astraljavaWhee, that rolling-release-instead-of-milestones thread is getting out of hand. I better not touch it until I've slept a little.21:54
