astraljavaHas anyone tracked the ISO size issue currently? I seem to recall seeing talk about this over on the vanilla side, but am unsure about the decisions. I suppose we're still wanting to get down to a size that fits a CD, right?03:34
micahgUbuntu is doing 800MB03:34
astraljavaRight. I just realized I had not realized this while sending the email to the lists, so nobody actually was able to burn it to a disk. I hope this didn't cause anyone to turn away from us.03:35
micahgthe flavors can do as they wish03:36
astraljavaYeah. What's your opinion, is it too hard to do? Have things bloated up lately?03:37
micahgI think Xubuntu is fine at 700MB03:37
micahgalthough alpha2 is oversized03:38
micahgso, whatever people want03:38
astraljavaI guess I'll add it to next meeting's agenda.03:39
micahgwe could probably get it down for alpha3 (although, we might have issues with 2 python, webkit, and gtk stacks)03:39
astraljava...and try to get some numbers for it.03:39
astraljavaOh, right.03:39
astraljavaThat'd be an easy... what, 25MB?03:39
astraljavaWell probably not that much.03:42
micahgwe can see about getting gtk3 versions of the webkit stuff maybe03:42
micahgthat's ~7MB03:42
astraljavapleia2: Btw. re: translations bug, did you follow the instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#translation04:49
* astraljava hasn't yet done an analysis of the bugs so far04:50
pleia2astraljava: no, but I don't think it was any of those things, it was just a portion of the desktop that wasn't showing up translated04:54
astraljavapleia2: Do you mean that it _is_ translated, but it isn't working in quantal?04:57
pleia2well, I don't know if it's translated04:57
pleia2I really don't understand the translations process all that well, so I'm not even sure where to look04:58
astraljavaYeah me neither. :)04:59
astraljavaHigh time to learn, I suppose.04:59
astraljavaWell, err... translations page is not available for quantal. How are we supposed to check?04:59
astraljavaI'll ask on -testing.05:00
astraljavaWait, we're providing support for stable+1 on #xubuntu?05:29
astraljavaThen I see no objections to send the testers in there for the IRC case.05:29
pleia2I don't know, are we? :)05:31
astraljavaSays so on the release notes draft. :)05:35
pleia2oh, that05:36
pleia2we always say that, but I never actually read it apparently05:36
astraljavaLOLlero.05:36
astraljavapleia2: There's a fine line between reading text and understanding it.06:13
* astraljava just realized the keyboard layout thingie is in the testcases twice.06:33
astraljavaknome: pleia2: anyone with interest: Which do you think it'd suit better? Is it important enough to have it in Short (thus getting more frequency)?06:34
astraljavaknome: I went ahead and removed the protocol babbling from /Long's email section.07:42
ochosiastraljava: i think we can remove the "appearance"-section from 12.10 testing again, otherwise we'll get lots of duplicates to bug #1016713...08:21
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1016713 in shimmer-themes (Ubuntu) "Different greys in LightDM shutdown and accessibility menus" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101671308:21
astraljavaochosi: Heh, ok, if you feel like it. Will you, or shall I?08:32
ochosiastraljava: hmm, on second thought, maybe i can also rephrase it towards missing icons09:13
ochosiastraljava: cause that would make a lot of sense and still be helpful09:13
astraljavaochosi: Excellent, thanks!09:14
astraljavapleia2: re: bug 1018550, was the not-translated part visible in the panel by default? If so, then I presume it's DateTime plugin that we're talking about, instead of orage. My apologies if that's the case.09:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1018550 in orage (Ubuntu) "Orage clock not translated to Spanish" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101855009:15
ochosiastraljava: ok, done09:15
astraljava \o/09:15
ochosibtw, how was yesterday's meeting?09:19
ochosihaven't had time to read the backlog and there are no minutes yet09:19
astraljavaI didn't see any conversation happening during the time of the meeting, except princess telling us she was sorry she was late (of nothing). :D09:26
* astraljava had to also miss the meeting09:27
ochosiok, then i guess there probably wasn't one09:28
astraljavaMost likely that is the acceptable resolution, yes.09:29
ochosimaybe we should re-schedule09:30
ochosibbl09:42
astraljavaI doubt there's that much open and pressing issues.10:00
astraljavaHeheh. Apparently we should pay a little more attention to the testcases. At least I don't even find where I could set the suspend timer.10:09
Sysihttps://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8744 is this bug present in 4.10 on quantal?10:21
ubottuError: Could not parse XML returned by bugzilla.xfce.org: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (http://bugzilla.xfce.org/xml.cgi?id=8744)10:21
Sysialt+printscreen also fails for me, assigned to xfce4-screenshooter -w in default settings10:25
astraljavaI can come back to those after the milestone is released, too busy now.10:31
knomeastraljava, well ideally we'd only have one test which everybody always runs.10:41
knomeastraljava, but i suppose it can be at /Short, since it's been there before10:41
astraljavaknome: Yeah well, if you want to include /Long into one that always gets run, then I can foresee a drastic reduce of daily testing for sure. .)11:21
knomei know11:22
astraljavaknome: But yeah, I concur, I'll remove it from /Long for now.11:22
knomemaybe call the short test "daily" then and the long test.... "milestone" :P11:22
knomeor daily and extended11:23
astraljavaWell that's technically not "correct" when doing the milestones, cause then "daily" is a prerequisite for the "extended". But I think the proper solution in the end is that you will only see one testcase in the tracker, so you don't have to see the names for the cases at all. Milestone only has the "daily" embedded first.11:29
knomeyes11:29
* astraljava hates the transition times :D11:30
knomeo'rly?11:30
knomei'm so happy that the tests are actually reviewed now11:30
knomeand that there is much more sense in them11:30
astraljavaYeah. Like I noticed that no one had realized, or at least voiced the absence of a timer for Suspend in Xubuntu. :D11:32
astraljava /Long warranted the testing of such in the Suspend case...11:32
astraljavaMade me wonder whether anyone actually _really_ tested the /Long at all, but then maybe they just didn't have laptops.11:33
knomeyup.11:44
knomei think actually many skipped the short/long tests altogether11:44
knomei did at first, because i didn't know they existed11:44
=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2
astraljavaWell that shouldn't be the case this time, considering I shed blood and tears for that announcement email, dangit!12:01
astraljavaknome: We've reviewed Wubi?12:06
knomeastraljava, didn't we. i already sent an email to ev telling to drop all support.12:07
astraljavaIt's possible, I just have no recollection of it. It isn't all that surprising. If you know we did, then I'm cool with it.12:08
knomewe pretty much decided that at the sprint we had12:08
knomethere might have been some brief discussions after, all coming to the conclusion that we simply don't have testers for it12:08
astraljavaRight, ok, that explains why I can't recall, cause there's no trail of crumbs. :)12:08
astraljavaYeah, I just thought that the decision was now pending on ev's response to the call for help.12:09
knomeand that it is just one more thing to carry with, and a thing that comes with problems12:09
knomeno, he responded that the changes were being made12:09
astraljavaYeah, I agree whole-hearedly.12:09
knomei suppose they are done already12:09

knomelet me see if i still have that mail12:10
knomelooks like i don't12:10
knomei think i forwarded it to you though?12:10
knomeat least the original mail12:10
knomeoh, no, there it is12:11
knomeyou're cc'd in that message12:11
knome"Re: Xubuntu Wubi status", June 8th12:11
astraljavaMy apologies, somehow I've missed that. I see it now. Case closed.12:11
knome...aand i have forwarded it to xubuntu-devel too :D12:12
knomehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2012-June/008244.html12:12
knomethere we go12:12
knome(for information generally)12:12
astraljavaHave you written the blog article you promised in that mail?12:14
knomeprobably not... :)12:14
astraljavaOk, there was no deadline for it, real or imaginary. Just whenever, but preferably not long after quantal gets released.12:15
knomeif you want to do it... :>12:15
astraljavaI can, next week or so.12:15
knomemaybe in the alpha notes too.12:15
astraljavaNo time for that.12:15
knomehmm?12:15
knomei could add that, i mean12:16
astraljavaOhh... sweet.12:16
knomeoh, you're editing the post.12:16
astraljavaOh that reminds me.12:16
astraljavaSorry.12:16
knomeheh :)12:16
astraljavaDamn, it got left open at home... :(12:16
astraljavaCan you not unlock it?12:16
knomelol12:16
knomei can just force12:16
knomeif you don't have anything changed12:17
astraljavaCool, do it, cause I didn't make any changes.12:17
knomeok, coll12:17
knomecool too12:17
astraljavaBut it reminded me, we're saying we want the people to join us on #xubuntu for support of stable+1.12:17
astraljavaLike, for realsies?12:17
knomewhere?12:17
knomeoh, that12:18
astraljavaprincess already admitted for not ever reading the release notes she writes. :D12:18
knomeit says "#ubuntu+1 or #xubuntu"12:18
astraljavaBut what's the official stance on it?12:18
astraljavaYeah, that specifically _allows_ discussion about stable+1 on _#xubuntu_.12:18
knome#ubuntu+1 is sometimes really useless for non-stable xubuntuists12:19
knomethink: new xfce version12:19
knomeis anyone of us even hanging in there?12:19
* astraljava points to self12:19
knomebtw, i like the motion in -ops to create #ubuntu-discussion12:19
astraljavaDon't care.12:19
knomei'm thinking that maybe we could rename12:19
knomei'll remove #xubuntu then12:20
astraljavaWhatever, don't have an opinion to it.12:20
astraljavaOk, thanks.12:20

astraljava"If you need support for this release..."12:28
astraljavaOtherwise it's great.12:28
astraljavaBut we need to add the known issues.12:28
astraljavaI'll try to do that this evening, at around 18:30 ->12:29
knomeokay, thanks.12:29
astraljavaUnless it needs to go out before that. I just asked from balloons, as no one seems to want to answer me on -release.12:32
knomeawwh. :)12:32
astraljavaBtw. are you around in the evening, from that time onwards?12:32
knomeermm, probably12:33
knomeis there something worth it? :P12:33
astraljavaWe'd probably need to decide whether we're really going to release or not, depending on the results on the tracker.12:33
knomeastraljava, right12:38
knomeastraljava, it doesn't look *too* bad now12:38
knomeoh, it kind of does with all the fails12:39
knomeastraljava, is there a test you'd prefer me to run?12:39
astraljavaNo, it does not. Only the whole disk encryption (with encrypted $HOME to boot) fails with Thunar being unable to show the contents of $HOME. 12:39
astraljavaknome: The other fails are not show-stoppers, really.12:40
knomeyes12:40
knomethat's why i'm not really sure about all this fail-stuff12:40
knomebecause we kind of have many fails, but oh well, let's still release12:40
astraljavaI can't do any auto-resizes cause I'm using virt, or at least I don't know how to do them.12:40
astraljavaSo if you can, run them. Otherwise... we're cool.12:40
knomei'd vote for "fail" only if it really fails.12:41
astraljavaBUT! You could run Studio's amd64s... *smirk*12:41
knomeastraljava, to auto-resize, just create a big enough drive, then install xubuntu into it, and after that, install another xubuntu on a different partition, and autoresize the other partition12:41
astraljavaYes well, I think the result numbers are really important for final release, not so much for milestones.12:42
astraljavaBut it never asks for the boot image when it finds grub on the MBR.12:42
astraljavaI probably need to tamper with the settings somehow.12:43
knomehmm.12:43
knomeboot image?12:43
astraljavaISO12:43
astraljava.iso12:43
astraljavaBut I need to run now. Run whatever tests you want, if you want. We most likely won't get all the tests run anyway, so we're gonna have to make the decision with sub-par data after all.12:44
knomei think that's what we did with the 12.04 alpha2 too12:46
knomeor, i did test like a madman, and i think we got all but a few done12:46
knomebut i think one guy testing 10 things in a few hours isn't really what i call "testing"12:47
astraljavaNo, not really.12:48
astraljavaI need to work much better for the next milestones, to attract more testers.12:49
astraljavaBut anyway, gone for now.12:49
knomeyup. hf12:49
astraljavaBack at around 1530-1600 UTC.12:49

ochosiknome: any more/new gmb feedback?13:24
ochosimicahg: ping13:24
skaetastraljava, knome, - do you want the images to be released today, based on the results of your testing?   Not quite clear to me from the results on the tracker.13:38
hobgoblinok - got this odd bug in the alternate alpha2 - absolutely no idea what to report it against - so some help would be cool13:55
hobgoblininstall a kbd layout - add orage to panel - click on orage - changes kb layout - click on orage - changes kb layout back again13:55

hobgoblinpleia2: when you had issues with orage and languages - did you notice anything bizarre going on with keyboard layouts?15:45
ochosipleia2: All applications using Gtk3 currently look bad because of a bug in the Unico engine.15:45
