balloonsphillw, sure00:21
balloonsspeaking to smartboyhw twice in the same day00:21
balloonsfunzies00:21
balloonsyou'll still be up tomorrow.. living on the otherside of the world is weird eh?00:21
phillwballoons: yeah, it throws me as well :)00:22
phillwyoung benny in AUS also does that to me00:23
phillwsilverarrow: wb, sorry. was on a different channel00:24
phillwI'm just asking balloons how his translations of the test cases have gone.00:24
phillwsilverarrow: he's busy getting ready for a global jam. The details will trickle down for the new format, at that point lubuntu can start thinking about our own test cases.00:27
balloonsindeed00:28
phillwI was not expecting this until post 12.10, so it has rather caught me on the back foot :)00:28
phillwballoons: when you have the format of http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nskaggs/checkbox/checkbox-app-testing-qt/view/head:/htmltestcases/gedit.html give me a dig & we can have an easy start to modifiying it for leafpad00:29
balloonsphillw, the format that is in there, is what it will be00:30
balloonsyou mean for flavors? I think we've confused00:30
balloonsas in in the same testcase?00:31
balloonsor simply have th existence?00:31
phillwballoons: well, ubuntu does not ship leafpad, but it would be the lubuntu equivalent. So a very easy edit to make and get those interested a nice easy introduction to the test cases.00:32
phillwI can start to write up a set of instructions which can then be incorporated into 'main' wiki.00:33
phillwPeople are starting off at zero knowledge of the system, so it does seem a simple one to start with as an example.00:34
silverarrowUbuntu is cleaning up dust in the corners?01:51
silverarrowor is it more serious bugs crawling around01:51
silverarrowI have spiders01:51
phillwsilverarrow: we do tend to squish the big bright red ones. The grey ones take a bit more work.02:02
silverarrow the old powerbooks have rather good battery02:32
silverarrowand ibooks02:32
silverarrowpower consumption I suppose02:32
phillwsilverarrow: I've got a 2nd hand packard bell, the new battery has made such a massive difference to it. I'm a big fan of getting 2nd hand kit.02:54

noskcajalso the ubuntu not xubuntu bugs are listed in xubuntu08:02
elfynoskcaj: from what I can see they are completely wrong - the testcases08:02
noskcaji would liketo try and fix them, any ideas how?08:02
elfyand I think any bugs get listed - ones I'm reported are there08:02
noskcajok08:02

elfyoh - I saw that one I am positive08:03
noskcajk08:04
elfybut the testcase thing was talked about yesterday in xubuntu-devel08:04

noskcajyes08:14
smartboyhwYou should have received an email just now, check it, it is about updating the testcases08:15
noskcajsmartboyhw: i think i'm under doak-jackson or something in it08:15

noskcajok08:17
smartboyhw:)08:18
mvojibel: there seems to be something wrong with the auto-package-tester result interpretation for software-center currently, is that a known issue? some tests are still failing there but it reports the thing as successful08:27
jibelmvo, yes, exit status was incorrectly reported from adt-run to the main runner08:30
jibelmvo, I fixed it08:30
jibeland re-ran the jobs08:30
jibelmvo, the nice side of things is that it made pitti happy this morning when he saw everything was green08:30
pitti*beam*08:31
mvojibel: haha, thanks for fixing it08:38
jibelmvo,   "* lp:~mvo/software-center/adt-you-make-my-life-hard:" in s-c was not needed anymore it's clearly a bug in adt, that I fixed in the version running in the lab08:41
mvojibel: oh? so it runs as the user by default nw? thats great08:41
jibelmvo, yes, adt-run has a - broken - option --user , I filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=68629208:43

phillwballoons: pong15:58
* balloons is running lubuntu quantal15:58
phillwhow do you like it?15:58
balloonsi've not seen it all cycle15:58
balloonswhat's with the 'no indicators' in the tray?15:58
phillwI haven't got it fired up in VM atm.15:59
balloonsand since you use chromium now, does that mean lubuntu will be keeping it up to date or?15:59
phillwchromium, i believe, has just had someone assign themselves to keep it updated.16:00
phillwahh, and then un assigned themself :(16:01
phillwbug 104430716:01
ubot5Launchpad bug 1044307 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "chromium isn't updated since months" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104430716:01
balloonsyes.. it's slightly newer in quantal16:01
balloonsbut will lubuntu ship as default then still?16:01
phillwyes, chromium is still the default. I have the ppa enabled to pull in the builds16:02
phillwI surmise that other lubuntu users do the same.16:02
balloonsisn't that an issue with being out of date?16:02
phillwit used to be maintained but the maintainer stopped. A replacement is still awaited.16:03
smartboyhwYea phillw16:03
phillwafaik, it needs a MOTU to maintain it.16:03
* smartboyhw is running Ubuntu 12.10 with Kubuntu and Ubuntu Studio16:03
smartboyhwOh did I cut the conversation? Sorry16:04
smartboyhwBye phillw and balloons:)16:05
silverarrowhi16:05
phillwhiyas silverarrow16:06
silverarrowhow are you doing?16:06
phillwdoing well,16:06
silverarrowheard anything from the ppc guys?16:06
silverarrowgood to hear16:06
silverarrow...read...16:06
silverarrow:- )16:07
balloonsphillw, at any rate.. yes, it's sort of neat to see all the changes.. I'm still checking it out.. Gonna update it to beta116:07
silverarrowthere is quite a lot of acitivity on the mac forum on powerpc stil16:07
phillwsilverarrow: good to hear that on the forum.16:08
phillwI've not been on that area for a while.16:08
silverarrowi think all it takes is applications and install working and people would be a bit more daring with their apple stuff16:09
phillwsilverarrow: the 12.04 lubuntu ppc is quite a good release :)16:11
silverarrow it is16:11
silverarrowwith browser issues galore16:11
silverarroweverything else seems to be fine16:12
phillwsilverarrow: we had a lot of that at the start of 12.10, hopefully now resolved.16:12
silverarrowI`m certain they are all small issues, just needs some attention from some capable guy or girl16:13
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
silverarrowlike gecko and gome mplayer, they are sooooo close to working lol16:14
silverarrowand Gnome browser plugin package for mozilla,16:15
silverarrowreally should work16:15
silverarrowhmtl5 lost sound16:15
phillwsilverarrow: Julien does spend quite a lot of time on ppc, far more than the usage percentage really warrants, but Lubuntu did commit to support ppc and he takes commitment seriously.16:15
silverarrowminitube crashes on my G416:15
silverarrowhe has been doing a great job on the 12.04 issue16:16
silverarrowI like it better than tiger or leopard16:16
silverarrowi do hope user friendliness will encourage open source ware on ppc16:17
phillwonce we get the two bugs preventing 12.10 installing, I'm sure it'll be full steam ahead again :)16:17
silverarrowmac owners are often to hesitant to try16:18
phillwHe said he's going to do some further investigations now that beta 1 has landed.16:18
silverarrowyou know, osx is the best and most advanced os in the world16:18
phillwlol16:19
silverarrowno matter what16:19
phillwsilverarrow: what is OSX the GUI for?16:19
silverarrowoperativ system (uni)X16:20
silverarrowor 1016:20
silverarrowopen source have some advantages16:20
phillwyup, Berkley Unix. That's why it is inherrently safer than MS which was never designed for multiple users / internet. But that's off topic :)16:21
silverarrowi don`t know the technical stuff at all really16:21
silverarrowaqua is just name to me16:21
silverarrowis that why linux have nautilus ?16:22
silverarrowI initially thought of julius verne16:23
phillwnautilus is one of the file manager16:23
phillws available.16:23
phillwpcmanfm is the one that lubuntu uses.16:23
silverarrowoh, of course16:24
silverarrowwhich sounds like a hybrid pc radio16:24
phillwhe he, it's named after the authors IRC nick :)16:25
phillwhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMan_File_Manager16:26
phillwI don't see him on very often any more :/16:27
silverarrowif gecko and gnome mplayer would stream more easily on ppc I could brag about it on apple forums16:30
silverarrowor rather mac two users I know16:30
silverarrowlol16:30
phillwthe never ending story of which mplayer to use :)16:31
silverarrowdoes anyone have time to assist with a log report issue I  have?16:32
silverarrownever mind the mplayer, they all seem to work16:32
silverarrowI have messed around with them16:32
phillwI can try, if it is lubuntu related, you will get better support on #lubuntu16:32
silverarrowjust not the smplayer16:32
silverarrowI could not make it integrate with browser16:32
silverarrowno I have tried16:33
silverarrowit is more mplayer related or gecko16:33
silverarrowwell lubuntu really16:33
phillwI don't use them, sorry.16:33
silverarrowI see16:34
phillwI'm a VLC user, sorry.16:34

silverarrowgnome-mplayer and gmtk? Perhaps there is something in there at might16:35
silverarrowhelp me.16:35
silverarrowI can not find config if my life depended on it16:36
silverarrowI have been told to ask someone else a few times lol16:38
silverarrowconfig is just not where it should be16:38
phillwask on the Lubuntu-QA mailing list, Lars or Walter should be able to answer.16:38
silverarrowa new suggestion16:40
silverarrowlast one I asked on the lubuntu channels told me to look for margo16:40
* silverarrow googles lubuntu mailing list16:40
phillwyou were chatting to Walter on here yesterday.16:41
silverarrowI might bump into him again if I am lucky16:42
silverarrowI forgot to ask then really16:42

phillwI have some new volunteers for test case writing. I'm going to write up some introductory instructions for new comers.17:00
wxli didn't read everything (you guys talk too much)but i'm here silverarrow17:27
silverarrowhi17:30
silverarroware you familiar with gnome mplayer and gecko ?17:31
wxli guess i've used them17:31
wxlon ppc tho i dunno17:32
silverarrowI have been posting on a google group with a guy who is involved gnome mplayer17:33
silverarrowhttps://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/gnome-mplayer/bYJnJz9y2aw17:33
silverarrowI am hoping to smooth out some trouble17:34
silverarrowinitially I though mplayer and gecko didn`t work at all17:34
silverarrowbut then I discovered the commercial videos on the apple site stream all fine17:35
silverarrowmplayer worked fine with flash video repacer, but it has disappeared17:35
silverarrowFVR is only for youtube though17:36
silverarrowmostly at least17:36
wxlomg17:36
wxli got like 1/10th of the way through and just realized this goes on forever17:37

silverarrowhow do I find the output of configure for gecko-mediaplayer,17:37

silverarrowI struggle to find it17:38
wxli have no idea either17:38
silverarrowI see17:38
silverarrowconfig  folder for mplayer is empty17:39
silverarrowon regular pc mplayer an gecko streams fine with half the specs17:41
chilicuilhi, doesn anyone knows what is the difference between http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/ and http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com ?18:23
phillwchilicuil: laptop area is looked after by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures18:27
phillwIt is slewed to the vagaries of different laptops and feeds through to the list of which laptops run ubuntu well.18:28
chilicuilphillw: so.., if I'm testing in a VM should I use iso.qa.ubuntu.com?, otherwise laptop.qa.ubuntu.com?18:29
phillwchilicuil: a VM will not really be using the parts of the laptop, it is using the generic stuff in the VM. So, I'd advise use the iso.qa.ubuntu.com until you have chance to hive off a small partition on the hard drive and install directly onto the laptop.18:31
chilicuilphillw: ok, that's great, I'll do that way, thanks18:32
phillwbuilding up & modifying the list of laptops is important as it helps people choose between models that other wise may appear similar.18:32
balloonsphillw, http://gould.cx/ted/blog/Desktop_in_the_cloud20:25
phillwinteresting :)20:32
noskcaji wonder if its implemented yet20:36
noskcajcan someone runthe xubuntu daily and64 because it seems to have a login loopbut it might just be my VM20:38
phillwnoskcaj: can you check on #xubuntu, I saw a mention on the mailing list earlier.20:41
noskcajthe mailing list thing was me yesterday20:42
noskcajalso the draft testcase is ready for upload and you can edit it20:42
phillwI have the reply, just finished my dinner :)20:42
