aj_quantalYay.04:47
astraljavaHey guys, I've updated the long test case at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/Long05:42
pleia2astraljava: re: CPU "governer applet" - something where you can make adjustments to CPU, or just a monitor?05:43
astraljavaPlease have a go at it, either edit it directly, or send feedback in here or the mailing list (I'll announce it on -devel in a minute).05:43
astraljavapleia2: CPU, don't think it has to do with monitors at all.05:44
pleia2I mean monitoring CPU05:44
pleia2but you're saying there may have been an applet that didn't monitor, but instead allowed changes?05:45
* pleia2 writes envelopes to send out stickers05:46
astraljavaDid I say monitoring?05:47
astraljavaI meant governing.05:47
astraljavaThrottling.05:47
astraljavaWhatever there are for that.05:47
pleia2gotcha05:48
astraljavaThe CPU monitoring applet is there for sure.05:48
astraljavaSorry for being vague.05:48
* astraljava needs to get ready to go to work, at least the office... ;05:48
astraljava;)05:48
pleia2see you :)05:48
astraljavaI'll be back online in about 40 minutes or so.05:49
astraljavao/06:28
astraljavapleia2: You mentioned a draft for the release notes, can I find them somewhere?06:32
pleia2astraljava: in xubuntu.org wordpress, have a login?06:32
pleia2it's a draft post06:33
astraljavaHrm... I don't think so, and I'm not seeing where I could sign up. :)06:36
pleia2it's handled through launchpad, I'll check06:37
pleia2ok, well the only thing it has is "Xfce 4.10" :)06:37
pleia2so we can probably collaborate elsewhere06:37
pleia2astraljava: mind a PM?06:39
pleia2(see if we can get you set up)06:39
* pleia2 should go to bed soon06:40
astraljavaHeh... you really don't have to ask. :)06:40
pleia2:)06:40
pleia221:06:43 -queuebot:#ubuntu-testing- Builds: Upgrade Xubuntu amd64 [Quantal Alpha 2] (20120627) has been added06:53
pleia2in #ubuntu-testing!06:53
pleia2muy useful :)06:53
astraljavaWell, it is. It's also on -release.07:01
hobgoblinastraljava: of course what I meant to add to my - perhaps this for the testing long thing was - pidgin !!! I hate pidgin - I'd rather test xchat :p07:34
Unit193Pidgin is good for IM, but not IRC.07:34
hobgoblin:)07:35
hobgoblinI'm old ... 07:35
astraljavaYeah, come to think of it, is pidgin even the default app for IRC in the first place?07:41
astraljavaCan I test this somehow?07:42
Unit193irc://irc.freenode.net/xubuntu ?07:42
astraljavaRight, I'll try that, thanks.07:43
hobgoblinwell tbird fails to let me setup my accounts :)07:46
astraljavahobgoblin: Is this on 26th images? Please check if there's an existing bug, if not, please also file it.07:48
hobgoblinok07:49
astraljavaAhh... it isn't associated with any app by default.07:51
astraljavaI actually think people would use xchat more than pidgin for IRC.07:52
astraljavaknome: Opinion?07:52
Unit193astraljava: I don't care if they want to, they need to use xchat rather than pidgin.07:53
astraljava*rolls eyes*07:54
astraljava;)07:54
hobgoblinok - so how do you change localisation - added some but then what?07:58
astraljavaGood question, lemme check.07:59
astraljava...and that case is very poorly worded, too.08:00
astraljavahobgoblin: I didn't find any other way than logging out and choosing another language while at the greeter.08:04
hobgoblinoh - ok :)08:04
astraljavaThe list in Language Support kept having it as disabled even after the installation.08:05
astraljavaI don't know what _is_ the expected way.08:05
astraljavaI always use just the English that I install.08:05
hobgoblinfunnily enough - that's what I use too :)08:06
hobgoblinastraljava, ok that worked - had no idea at all what the menu's said - but they were there :)08:16
astraljavaYep, it works for me as well. I'm gonna edit the case and suggest doing that.08:17
hobgoblink08:18
hobgoblinso the only oddity I got was with thunderbird08:19
hobgoblintrying the resize one now 08:20
astraljavaGreat, thanks!08:25
astraljavaI'm a little unsure what to type into that case. I suppose it's enough to check the desktop that the things in the UI are translated, we're really not wanting to check all applications here.08:25
hobgoblinastraljava, thinking about the pidgin thing - the images that show during the install are of pidgin - so perhaps I would leave it - those of us that use irc clients - do so08:26
hobgoblinyea I'd agree with that - unless someone is bi/tri/loads-lingual all they can do is see if things look foreign to them :)08:26
astraljavaThat's right. And a good point re: pidgin. I'll leave it, then.08:27
hobgoblinshould installs testing check encryption - not seen that written anywhere?08:27
astraljavaHmm... let's add that as a topic for tonight's meeting.08:36
hobgoblinastraljava: so - the 64bit livecd is not asking to remove before reboot - old bug I've seen before - should I ry and find the number 09:12
astraljavahobgoblin: Yep, sure. Thanks!09:42
hobgoblinsigh :( you were supposed to say that's ok no need to spend hours trying to search launchpad for a bug :p09:43
* hobgoblin will let triage sort it out - already spent 30 minutes looking 09:44
knomeastraljava, while the irc-part of pidgin is not so good, pidgin is a good all-round IM client09:50
knomeastraljava, xchat doesn't do other IM09:50
ochosiknome, astraljava, pleia2: sorry guys, i won't be able to attend today's meeting. (my gf has her state exam at the same time, i hope that's a good-enough excuse :) )09:51
ochosis/guys/gals'n'guys/09:51
hobgoblinI'd let you off if I counted :)09:51
knomeheh..09:52
ochosihobgoblin: thanks, much appreciated :)09:52
knomei'm not sure if i can either... but i'll try to.09:52
ochosiquick artwork roundup: i've continued to improve greybird's gtk2 performance, new notebook-style etc.09:52
ochositesting and feedback would be appreciated09:52
astraljavahobgoblin: You're actually expecting me to let you off easy? *pfft* This is no summer vacation camp. This is hard labour.09:55
ochosiknome: what do you think of getting more high-quality themes into xubuntu?09:55
knomeochosi, sounds good, but are there?09:55
knomeespecially those which suppport both 2/309:56
ochosiknome: i recently started contacting people on deviantart to see whether they'd be willing to accept a few xfce-specific patches09:56
knomeaha09:56
astraljavaknome: Yeah, and like hob just mentioned, it's in the slideshow.09:56
knomeastraljava, that too. but changing the slideshow isn't too hard, really09:56
knomeastraljava, we should do that anyway.09:57
ochosiknome: this one is a bit too close to greybird visually, but there are more "complete" themes like this: http://satya164.deviantart.com/#/d4nk24s09:57
knomeochosi, in that case, just make a list of them and let's go through them someday09:58
ochosiknome: yeah, i'll try09:58
knomek, good09:58
astraljavaochosi: Btw. if you'd like to see some UI-related tests (or just a description for appearance inspection), have at it on the /Long, it's not quite there yet, but it'll do for now.09:59
ochosiknome: but personally, a pre-requisite for getting a theme in would be that the author continues to maintain it. i'm definitely not taking on more themes for maintenance :]09:59
hobgoblinastraljava: nope - I expect hard labour - I did do 3 installs one after the other - but searching launchpad is for the foolhardy :p09:59
astraljavaHehehe. :)09:59
knomeochosi, yes, sounds sensible09:59
astraljavaYeah I agree, it's sometimes frustrating.09:59
hobgoblinand I gave up after almost an hour :(10:00
ochosiknome: another thing i'd like to bring up in the next meeting/s: now that crt monitors are vanishing from the face of the earth, do we really need a screensaver by default? wouldn't a screen-locker suffice?10:00
astraljavahobgoblin: That's alright, thanks for trying. :)10:00
knomeochosi, will you just throw that in the meeting agenda?10:00
ochosiastraljava: just read through the long test, where is the appearance part exactly?10:00
hobgoblinastraljava: I know there's a bug out there as I've seen it on dev version release notes ... I'll let someone mark the dupe as such ... 10:00
astraljavaknome: Can you help me with getting to the wp of our website? princess tried to get my ubuntu SSO working on it, but we failed.10:00
astraljavaochosi: No, you misunderstood. We're counting on _you_ to add it. :D10:01
knomeastraljava, will do. what do you need to do there?10:01
ochosiastraljava: ah ok :)10:01
astraljava...if you'd like to have it, that is. :)10:01
astraljavaknome: Release notes, she said she added a draft there.10:02
astraljavaochosi: Naturally you don't need to type it alone, but I'm at least very poorly suited for that line of work.10:03
ochosiastraljava: ok, i added a few lines10:11
ochosiastraljava: let me know what you think10:11
astraljavaochosi: Yeah, I'm ok with that, as it's much more difficult to pin-point any better than you have already done. Thanks!10:27
ochosiastraljava: ok, if you - in the course of testing - get to better formulations don't hesitate to replace/improve :)10:28
ochosibbl10:31
astraljavaThanks, will do. Same goes for everyone, on every test as well.10:38
knomei'm off now. will be back later today, and i'll try to make the meeting this time10:54
hobgoblin32 bit refuses to boot from usb for me 11:06
hobgoblinnot sure if it is a bug or just me - redid the thing 3 times 11:08
astraljavahobgoblin: How does it refuse? Blank screen? Error messages?11:13
hobgoblinblinking cursor in the top corner - nothing at all happens other than that 11:13
astraljavaMeh. Ok, file a bug, I'll verify in the evening when I get home.11:14
astraljavaOr... check if there's one already first. :)11:15
hobgoblin:)11:15
hobgoblinastraljava: I posted on the forum - see if anyone else has it before I start with bugs - but I just tried again after reburning the iso - still nothing for me11:39
astraljavaAlright, well, I'll verify during th evening. Make sure to paste the number here if you end up filing it, so I can mark 'affects me too' if it happens on my system as well.13:09
astraljavaknome: I'm afraid I'll have to pass on tonight's meeting, surprising engagements I cannot ignore. Rest of the team: If none of the leads (ochosi, knome, pleia2 nor mr_pouit) is available, make sure to post the minutes to the mailing list after the discussion. You can follow the agenda as best as you can.13:11
* micahg will have to miss another meeting, but will hopefully be back in sync for the following one13:21
hobgoblinastraljava, you can forget all about our earlier conversation - seems bios was playing games with me here 13:28
ochosigotta go now, have a good meeting everyone!14:00
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
* hobgoblin is not doing 5 installs in one day again 15:30
pleia2sorry I'm late15:34
pleia2but it seems like no one was really around today :)15:35
hobgoblinpleia2: it's still quiet :)16:10
=== hobgoblin is now known as elfy
pleia2astraljava: put a link to your email on g+ and twitter17:17
knomepleia2, hullo :)18:06
pleia2hi knome!18:07
knomewhat's up?18:23
pleia2work work, the usual18:30
pleia2knome: oh, how do we add someone to xubuntu.org blog? I tried to add astraljava last night, failed :)18:40
knomepleia2, that wasn't xubuntu.org fail, that's LP openid fail (most probably)18:40
knomepleia2, but the instructions:18:40
knomepleia2, everybody in LP ~xubuntu-team has access to everything non-published18:40
knomepleia2, everybody in LP ~xubuntu-website has access to everything18:41
knomepleia2, you don't need to touch WP18:41
pleia2oh18:41
pleia2so I thought we had to add a user and then associate it with openid (it's what we do with fridge)18:42
pleia2so astraljava should just be able to click "login" and it works18:43
knomenope!18:43
knomeyes.18:43
pleia2if not, maybe rt ticket?18:43
knomehe should, i tried to go through it with him today but it didn't work18:43
knomeyes, that's filed... :)18:43
pleia2\o/18:43
knomebut yeah, no need to touch the WP users table18:44
pleia2ok, so, release notes for tomorrow18:44
pleia2anything aside from Xfce 4.10? 18:44
knomei looked at the notes and that looks good.18:44
pleia2gimp 2.8 is kind of a big deal, maybe mention that too18:46
knomeif you want...18:47
knome:)18:47
knomemaybe add generally "new/updated versions of applications, such as..."18:47
pleia2ok18:47
knomebecause it's not just gimp that's updated ;)18:48
pleia2ok, "Updated applications, including GIMP 4.8 and gThumb 3.0.1"19:04
pleia2really not much else ;)19:04
astraljavao/19:04
astraljavaGood day my fellow citizens, I don't mean to intrude...19:05
astraljavaknome: Am I to 1) file a ticket at rt.ubuntu.com, 2) ask about it on #canonical-sysadmin, AND 3) email about it to rt@ubuntu.com?19:11
astraljavaThis is the most exhaustive issue resolution process I've ever heard thus far.19:12
pleia2rt@ubuntu.com adds a ticket to rt.ubuntu.com, if they don't respond in 2 days, nag them in #canonical-sysadmin with the ticket number19:17
pleia2but they've been better about responding lately, I don't usually need to go to #canonical-sysadmin anymore19:18
astraljavaAhh, well then as I've already filed it on the website, the email is redundant, then?19:18
pleia2yep19:18
pleia2just make sure you know the ticket number :)19:18
knomeastraljava, yes, just file a ticket and start nagging at #canonical-sysadmin right away19:19
astraljavaWell as I've already mentioned it on the channel, there's a record about it.19:19
knome^ the knome procedure19:19
* pleia2 sysadmin by day, no likely instant nagging19:20
pleia2I'll get to the ticket! leave me alone! :)19:21
knomewell as you know, i won't...19:23
astraljavaI do support 20% of my time, so yeah, I don't feel like doing that either. :)19:25
astraljavaAnyone else done tests?19:36
* astraljava is likely to wake up early tomorrow morning and run the remaining ones.19:36
knomegood, then i don't have to do any :P19:37
Unit193I'm all synced up, just have to see if that computer gets free so astraljava can yell at me.19:39
* pleia2 works on her Espanol while running /Long19:39
pleia2"Confirm that the main menus and outputs in the desktop are translated."19:40
pleia2the calendar is not :( what to report against?19:40
astraljavaorage?19:41
pleia2k19:41
astraljavaI'm not sure, that's why the question mark.19:42
pleia2I'll put it there and add it to the iso tracker, someone can reassign if needed19:42
astraljavaTrue.19:42
knomei'd imagine it's orage19:42
pleia2so is this a fail?19:42
astraljavaYes. Localisation is a big thing.19:42
pleia2ok19:44
pleia2I am a bug reporting machine today! (sorry)19:45
Unit193Good! I hate reporting them.19:45
Unit193Maybe I can just pull up your reports.19:45
pleia2I'll link them all in the tracker, so they'll be easy to find19:46
* elfy didn't notice the calendar - never use the thing 19:46
pleia2will take a few hours though, since I'm doing /Long throughout breaks in my work day ;)19:46
pleia2oh, and doing this all on the Alt installer test19:46
knomeidi^Wweird^Wawesome!19:46
pleia2I don't mind reporting bugs I know are bugs through a simple interface to friendly developers :)19:47
* pleia2 frowns at Debian19:47
knomeheh19:48
* Unit193 hates anything except apport pulling them up for me and doing all the work, then it's clear what package and what title as well as dupe.19:48
astraljavapleia2: What, I was so glad when I heard LP has an email API for reporting bugs! :)19:51
pleia2astraljava: I don't love having to consult a documentation page to remember how to submit or update a bug ;)19:55
astraljavaYou're just not filing enough of them, then. :D19:58
knomeyes. please do more tests.19:58
pleia2do we put the bugs that make the test fail in the "Critical" field?20:00
pleia2yes, yes we do20:01
knomehmm.20:01
knomein that case, what isn't critical?20:01
knomeastraljava, again, please correct me20:01
knomebut i thought critical is "i can't finish the test"20:01
knomebecause if there is even one bug that fails the test, and all those should be critical, why even have the "pass/fail" boxes20:02
astraljavaknome: Yes, I asked about this in the QA meeting last week, and balloons said they're probably going to remove the critical marking altogether.20:02
knomebecause every test with a critical bug is fail20:02
knomeokay20:02
knomemakes sense20:02
astraljavaIt does, yeah.20:02
knomethanks for clarification20:02
astraljavaSorry for forgetting to do that earlier.20:03
knomenp20:03
elfyI'm still all at sea with this critical and not stuff - all I am sure of is that a failure to install grub so it boots should be 20:07
astraljavaelfy: Critical is pretty much everything that denies you from completing a testcase. It doesn't have to mean you couldn't do _other_ things, but if one case fails, then the test fails.20:13
pleia2xI'm thinking for this Pidgin testing we want to tell people to use #xubuntu-devel rather than #xubuntu (long test)20:13
pleia2xI am testing xubuntu!20:13
knomepleia2, or -testing. i wouldn't want people come here and tell they're testing20:14
pleia2I'm reserved about creating new channels, don't want it to become a dev-less echo chamber20:15
knomeme too.20:15
knomeor -offtopic?20:15
knomei don't know.20:15
pleia2yeah, maybe tell them to join -offtopic20:16
astraljavaWell, both current on-topic channels have problems for this particular case.20:17
astraljavaI don't have a good solution for this right now.20:17
Unit193Just like the ubiquity slideshow, they normally don't need help, they just want to comment that it's cool they can talk as well as install, which isn't a bad thing, just isn't support.20:19
knometesters should know about ontopic and offtopic though20:20
knomethey are already familiar with the community20:20
pleia2the test specifically tells them to join #xubuntu20:20
knomebut if we then say to join #xubuntu, that isn't good either20:20
knomepleia2, i know20:20
genii-aroundHm20:20
elfyastraljava: thanks - think I've got it :) 20:21
elfyI only actually failed one of those I did 20:21
Unit193http://people.ubuntu.com/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/preview/xubuntu/slides/index.html#?controls no this.20:22
Unit193http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=xubuntu&nick=xubuntu...&prompt=120:22
astraljavaelfy: Cool. :)20:22
elfywas a pretty big fail in my opinion 20:24
knomewhat's the ops list for #x anyway?20:24
pleia2/msg chanserv access #xubuntu list20:25
knomeyeah but20:25
knomethat's not current, is it?20:25
knomethe IRCC channel cleanup isn't done yet?20:25
pleia2I don't know20:25
knomeor if it is, we need to continue doing stuff20:26
pleia2https://launchpad.net/~irc-xubuntu-ops is the lp team20:26
knomethe factoid is now updated per the channel access list.20:28
pleia2ok, done long with alt 64-bit, I don't think I'll really have time for more tests though :(20:30
knomepleia2, thanks for doing that20:30
knomebrb20:30
astraljavapleia2: Thanks very much for that! I'll wake up early to do a few of them before heading off to work.20:36
elfyI can do a couple of 32bit alternates tomorrow - both the entire disk ones if it helps20:48
