micahg:(, looks like we don't really have hope for a respin until tomorrow, armhf won't be ready  for another 12 hours02:23
micahgif that02:24
micahgand I have to tie up an arm builder for an extra day to get that respin02:24
* pleia2 does some more tests03:16
pleia2this one is :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/102746104:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1027461 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu, installer locked in auto resize" [Undecided,Confirmed]04:13
micahghrm, so no desktop images either :(04:18
* micahg knows nothing about ubiquity04:19
pleia2that one just kills it for resizing, other installs work ok04:19
micahgah, release notable then I guess04:20
Unit193Manual partitioning.04:21
Unit193+work?04:21
pleia2didn't try manual04:21
pleia2I'll give it a go, then I need to get back to work on other things :)04:25
pleia2it seems alright with manual partitioning, even resizing partitions in that screen04:37
pleia2ah well I've gone this far, might as well finish the test04:40
knomei don't think there's much to tell on the release notes. apart from the bugs you've mentioned. :)04:41

knomepleia2, i suppose i don't know what to update :|04:59

knomeyup04:59
knomebut i don't know what those are ;)05:00
knomemaybe the ones you mentioned05:00
pleia2ah yes, I'm doing blog post now and will include them05:00

Unit193https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha3#Xubuntu-105:02
knomeupdated with that big bad one and a mention of being oversized05:05
knomemr_pouit, have we uploaded big appearance changes between a2 and a3?05:07
pleia2knome: for the last one, I'd mention that manual resizing works ok05:14
knomecan you add that along with any details you wish?05:15
pleia2yeah05:15
knomethanks05:15
pleia2I'm hoping https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit/+bug/1028486 will be fixed by release05:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1028486 in webkit (Ubuntu Quantal) "libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 recommending universe codecs" [Medium,Fix committed]05:22

pleia2alright, updated wiki a little and http://xubuntu.org/?p=1352 is prepped for tomorrow05:25
* pleia2 sleep &05:42
knomehihi06:00
knomenighty06:00
Unit193& causes it to continue.06:00
Unit193Good night.06:00
knomewe should think how we want to spell a306:05
knomeis it "alpha 3", "Alpha3" or sth else?06:05
knomejust saying,06:06
knome.06:06
knomei'm off, see you later06:06
astraljavaIn the Release Schedule, it says Alpha 3.06:32
mr_pouitknome: no change07:40
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
knomemr_pouit, alright! :)13:30
micahgknome: do we need the alternates for alpha3?14:35
knomemicahg, if it's possible/not too hard, yeah14:41
knomeif not, then not14:41
knome:)14:41
knomeor if they're not full of bugs...14:41
knomeanyway, bbl ->14:41
pleia2micahg: I'll add to the release notes that we're not doing an alternate15:41
micahgthanks15:51
pleia2micahg: will the alternate show up in alpha3 and be broken, or not show up at all? (figuring out how to word the blog post so it's clear)15:51
micahgnot show up at all if we don't want it16:03
pleia2I think not showing up at all would be preferred, I'd rather get "where are the alts?" than "the alt is broken!" (people don't read release notes :))16:05
cody-somervilleWhy is alt for Xubuntu broken?16:07
pleia2gimp fails to install with codec-related dependency issues, if we had time to respin and fiddle with it would be fixed,, but we're running short on time16:10
mr_pouits/gimp/webkit/, no?16:10
pleia2er yeah, webkit16:11
micahgyeah, unfortunately, it took me 9 hours to get a successful test build before I uploaded the changed version (which in turn is still building)16:18
micahgand the blacklist in the seeds apparently donm't work16:18
micahghrm, we should probably have a note on Qt being on the images as well16:41
pleia2yeah, maybe add it to the line where we're already mentioning the image is oversized (is there a bug report for qt we can link?)16:42
micahgno, but there probably should be /me files16:43
micahgBug #1029552 16:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1029552 in xubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Qt is pulled unnecessarily due to software-center Recommends and ubuntu-sso-client-gtk removal" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102955216:47
pleia2ok, so I'll alter to say:16:48
pleia2libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is pulling in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (1028486) and Qt is pulled unnecessarily due to software-center Recommends and ubuntu-sso-client-gtk removal (1029552), so the image larger than normal16:48
pleia2micahg: accurate?16:49
micahgthat should be pulled in16:49
pleia2er, which?16:50
micahgQt is pulled in16:50
pleia2ok, how should I write this?16:52
micahglibwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is pulling in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (1028486) and Qt is pulled in unnecessarily due to software-center Recommends and ubuntu-sso-client-gtk removal (1029552), so the image larger than normal16:53
micahggrrr16:53
micahglibwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is pulling in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (1028486) and Qt is pulled in unnecessarily due to software-center Recommends and ubuntu-sso-client-gtk removal (1029552), so the image is larger than normal 16:53
pleia2oh oh, gotcha16:53
pleia2so, we are an email away from acquiring @Xubuntu on twitter, thoughts on the change?17:48
pleia2means we'll have to update our resources to point at the new name, but we'll keep all our followers with the rename17:49
micahgQt issue is being fixed, should hopefully be in tomorrow's dailies17:52
pleia2knome: thoughts on twitter rename?19:48
knomepleia2, what?19:49
knomepleia2, oh, right.19:49
pleia2bkerensa contacted twitter about getting the xubuntu name, it's a dead account set up with a fake email address so they're willing to give it to us19:50
knomepleia2, yes, i suppose that would be cool. can we have a migration time when we'd have both, or do we need to just switch?19:50
pleia2it would just be an immediate switch, technically it's a "rename" so it's the same account, just name changing19:50
knomepleia2, i see19:51
pleia2our same account, I mean19:51
knomepleia2, do we have a list where we link to @XubuntuLinux ?19:51
pleia2"Changing your username will not affect your existing followers, direct messages, or @replies. They will simply see a new username next to your picture when you Tweet.19:51
pleia2Going forward, other users will need to @mention and message you at your new username. You may find it helpful to post a Tweet letting your followers know that you've selected a new username."19:51
knomethat shouldn't be too exhaustive, otoh, external links are.. meh19:51
pleia2website, wiki and probably a couple blog posts19:52
pleia2short term the change is a little painful, but I think it's worth it in the long run19:52
knomei like @XubuntuLinux too, but i suppose shorter is better.19:53
knomeand we'll not have any confusion if we're @Xubuntu19:53
Unit193More descriptive.19:53
knomebecause no copycat/"parker" is not going to take @XubuntuSomethingelse19:53
knomecould they stop taking names, or is that out of question?19:54
knomei'm thinking it would be nice if they could block @XubuntuLinux for a while19:54
pleia2well, we could just re-grab it ;)19:54
knomehaha19:54
knomeok19:54
knomelet's do it then, if you think re-grabbing is fine19:54
pleia2ok19:54
knomerename, and those who point to @XubuntuLinux... well, they'll get a message we've moved.19:55
pleia2http://xubuntu.org/news/quantalalpha3/21:24
pleia2it is done :)21:24
knomeawesome, thanks21:26
Unit193Great.21:59
