| elfy | astraljava: do we have an alpha3 tomorrow - does it need long testing ? | 20:52 |
|---|---|---|
| elfy | and hi :) | 20:52 |
| ochosi | knome, mr_pouit: let me add this to the "do away with xscreensaver, instead just use a lock-thingy", this is how far lightdm is in that respect: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-lock-screen | 23:37 |
| ochosi | i.e. not very far. i've been looking out for alternatives, and to be honest, none of them is working extra-smooth or great-looking | 23:38 |
| ochosi | would be great if some of you could take a look at this issue as i'll be away from tomorrow evening | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | is keeping xscreensaver and just defaulting to blank xscreensaver+screen lock an option? | 23:39 |
| ochosi | sure | 23:39 |
| ochosi | it's just not a huge step forward apart from a better default setting (no screensaver) | 23:40 |
| pleia2 | I think that may be as close as we can get until lightdm gets sorted | 23:40 |
| ochosi | probably | 23:40 |
| ochosi | i mean just because i wasn't happy with the screen-lockers around doesn't mean someone else doesn't find them more appealing than xscreensaver | 23:41 |
| ochosi | e.g. xlockmore is far more configurable, we could at least set a xubuntu-logo somewhere etc | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | I am not sure how something can be more ugly than xscreensaver | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | :) | 23:41 |
| ochosi | hehe | 23:41 |
| ochosi | how true | 23:41 |
| pleia2 | do you have a list of lockers to try out? | 23:42 |
| ochosi | i do, but i'm not sure it's "complete" or anything | 23:43 |
| pleia2 | that's ok, I'd like to give a few a try to see | 23:43 |
| ochosi | xlockmore, xlockmore-gl, xtrlock, i3lock | 23:44 |
| pleia2 | ty | 23:44 |
| ochosi | then there's also slock, but it doesn't seem to be packaged | 23:44 |
| ochosi | oh, and let's not forget gnome-screensaver :D | 23:44 |
| ochosi | which reminds me, if you find anything useful there, you can also reply to this guy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141532/recommendation-about-screen-lock-application-in-xubuntu | 23:45 |
| pleia2 | does ubuntu ship with gnome-screensaver these days? | 23:45 |
| ochosi | i'd assume so | 23:45 |
| ochosi | at least that's what the blueprint above suggests | 23:45 |
| pleia2 | hm, it can recommend on xfce4-power-manager | 23:45 |
| ochosi | hm? | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | gnome-screensaver | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | was just looking at the dependencies | 23:46 |
| ochosi | oh right | 23:46 |
| ochosi | gnome-desktop3-data ;) | 23:47 |
| ochosi | and gnome-settings-daemon | 23:47 |
| pleia2 | yeah :\ | 23:47 |
| ochosi | so yeah, i guess i should've added i was mostly kidding mentioning that one :) | 23:47 |
| pleia2 | the :D tipped me off, but I was curious :) | 23:48 |
| ochosi | hehe | 23:49 |
| ochosi | thing is that i _could_ send an email to robert ancell, but otoh i won't be around to read it when he replies | 23:51 |
| ochosi | so it'd be better if someone else quickly asked him about the chances of lightdm managing the lockscreen in 12.10 | 23:52 |
| ochosi | (also: we _have_ to sort out our greeter first. if we're stuck with the gtk-greeter, then using lightdm as screenlocker most likely isn't an option) | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-quantal-desktop-greeter-lockscreen seems to have a target | 23:54 |
| ochosi | yeah true, but the essential lock-part is completely on TODO | 23:55 |
| ochosi | (i mean there's still one month to FF, but hmmm...) | 23:56 |
| * pleia2 nods | 23:56 | |
