* micahg waves to knome17:37
Unit193Is that a wave and run?17:55
* micahg waves to knome again18:47
Unit193To be fair, when you d/c: <Unit193> Is that a wave and run?18:48
knomehey micahg :)18:52
elfyknome: you got time for a very quick PM ?18:54
knomeelfy, sure18:55
micahgknome: so, we have some space to make?19:11
knomemicahg, we do19:14
knomemicahg, did you look at http://www.typewith.me/p/x-q-imagesize ?19:16
micahgI commented on teh first rounf19:16
micahg*round19:17
knomeyeah, i deleted the "upsteam" stuff19:17
knomeand yeah, i know the situation with icons19:17
knomeit's so weird that any application depends on an icon set19:17
knomemicahg, can we blacklist packages from the CD even if they are on "depends"?19:22
micahgno19:22
micahgif we have an icon set that provides the same icons as gnome-icon-theme, we can add a provides as well19:22
micahgerr..gnome-icon-theme + humanity-icon-theme + hicolor-icon-theme19:23
knomeand then we could drop gnome-icon-theme?19:23
micahgyeah, it wouldn't be added19:23
micahgthat's ~7MB19:23
knomegnome-icon-theme?19:23
micahgwell, all 3 of those together19:23
knomemmh19:23
knomethat's not too much19:23
micahgnope19:23
micahgI think we should drop gimp19:24
micahgit's not core to the Xubuntu experience19:24
knomeyeah, it starts looking like it19:24
knomeif we drop that, when do we know how much we gain?19:24
knomecan you calculate that directly?19:24
micahgno, but guesses are between 20 and 40MB19:24
knomethat's a big difference19:24
knomeif it's 20, we still need a lot19:24
micahgwell, I could if I had a proper setup for generating images locally, but I don't19:24
knomei there somebody who has that? :P19:25
knome*is too19:25
knomeanyway, if it's 2019:27
knomewe are at, what 73719:27
knomestill 30 to drop19:27
knomewhat about those two items on the pad?19:27
knomethe library docs and the api description19:28
micahgno, those are provided by other packages19:29
micahgactually, I can see what will change19:30
knomeoh? :)19:30
* micahg can build a new meta19:30
knomeshiny :)19:30
knomeWHAT?19:34
micahghrm, that can't be right19:34
knome200MB?19:34
* micahg tries again19:34
knomehaha.. obviously...19:35
knomewould've been too good19:35
knomebut doesn't it pull python2?19:35
micahghrm...idk here19:36
micahgstill same results19:36
knomewoot19:36
micahgdesktop-core probably adds some stuff that's missing maybe19:36
knomeif it really clears 200MB...19:36
micahgbut I think it's worth a shot19:36
knomeok, let's just drop gimp19:37
knomewhen will we know?19:37
micahgdo we have a simple image editing thing to go in its place?19:37
micahgwhen the next ISO is made :)19:37
knomeno, we don't19:37
knomethat was investigated, but there simply isn't good ones19:38
micahgwhich will be tomorrow morning19:38
knomewhat's ubuntu shipping?19:38
micahgok, can we add a simple one in its place?19:38
knomewe can, but we need to decide which one19:38
knomenot the easiest task... :)19:38
micahgI'm not sure that Ubuntu has one19:38
knomemmh19:39
micahgthey have something for photo editing, I don't remember what19:39
Unit193Bummer, though can you have an installer thingy like Kubuntu and firefox?19:39
micahgno, Kubuntu has that since their default is rekonq19:40
knomedoesn't gthumb do some photo stuff?19:40
knomelike rotate and that19:40
micahgok, let's drop gimp and see where we are, then we can add back something for editing before beta 219:41
knomemicahg, is there some way to check manually how much we would benefit?19:42
micahgyeah, if someone had a proper setup to manually make a CD which I don't, xnox might19:42
xnoxnope19:42
xnoxJFDI & wait for a daily19:42
xnoxfolks on -release can do respins as well -/19:43
Sysidoes ubuntu use f-spot?19:43
micahgit should be known around 10AM UTC tomorrow19:43
knomexnox, mind the language;)19:44
micahgit means Just Fplease Do It :)19:44
knome:P19:44
micahgknome: any reason not to upload this + the mahjongg drop?19:45
knomemicahg, no19:46
knomemicahg, well, users whining but i don't care19:46
micahgok19:46
knomethey'll whine more if we don't fit on a CD19:46
micahgthey can still install it19:46
knomeexactly19:46
micahgand it's just until we can drop gtk2/python219:46
elfyI reallly really really really want my cake and to eat it 19:47
knomewell.. that could be long19:47
knomemicahg, what's still keeping python2? some xfce stuff?19:47
micahgWe can make a gimp installer if someone really wants to19:47
* micahg isn't sure right now19:47
knomemicahg, we can, but otoh, 12.10 is not an LTS, so there can be "experimental" stuff19:48
micahgxchat19:48
micahgblueman19:48
knomehmph19:49
knomeonly those?19:49
micahgvarious GNOMEish things19:49
knomebleh19:49
micahgonboard19:49
knomeisn't gnome supposed to have migrated to gtk3? :P19:49
knomeoh wait, python219:49
knomeduh19:49
knome:D19:49
micahggood news is seemingly no xfce stuff is holding it in19:50
knomeyeah19:51
pnarcisoare you guys still discussing what to drop in xubuntu :)19:53
knomepnarciso, yes19:53
pnarcisodifficult decision19:54
pnarcisoand how is bug squashing going along19:55
knomeslowly progressing19:55
pnarcisoI've noticed that a new version of xfce4-settings lands that is supposed to fix the theming issues in the installer19:55
knomeuh... i don't think xfce4-settings is supposed to fix it ;)19:56
knomebut i might be wrong19:56
knomemaybe it is an issue on how to set themes19:56
pnarciso- 03_check-service-name.patch: check that NameOwnerChanged signals are19:59
pnarciso      really intended for xfsettingsd (should hopefully fix unthemed/black19:59
pnarciso      ubiquity windows). lp: #101048719:59
knomek19:59
pnarcisothis is part of the changelog of xfce4-settings19:59
pnarcisoalso another big bug that landed, was USC stopped launching with version 5.3.1120:01
Unit193Not an issue. :D20:01
pnarcisowell, it is because is the default package manager20:02
knomemr_pouit, feel free to go ahead and upload for bug #104821720:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1048217 in Ubuntu "[FFe] Re-introduce indicator-sound-gtk2/ido-gtk2" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104821720:41
ochosioh nice20:42
pnarcisoso, indicator sound was reintroduced, how can I restore it back?21:27
ochosipnarciso: as long as the status isn't "fix released" the sound indicator hasn't been re-uploaded21:31
pnarcisook, thanks for the explanation21:31
pnarcisognome mahjongg and gimp were remove from desktop recommended, though21:32
SkippersBossgimp removed ?21:39
pnarcisosome programs need to be removed to meet the 700mb cd size21:40
SkippersBossI understand the rational 21:41
SkippersBossbut gimp ? was it that big ?21:41
micahgyeah, lots of dependencies21:42
SkippersBossow21:42
SkippersBossgotcha21:42
micahgeven it itself is big: apt-cache show gimp | grep ^Size21:42
micahgSize: 531471621:42
SkippersBossare ristretto and gthumb still in ?21:44
knomeyes21:44
SkippersBossHow stable is midori as browser. Could it be a substitue for FF ?21:45
pnarcisomidori lacks a lot of things21:45
SkippersBosshtml5 support u mean21:46
pnarcisoeven a basic password storage21:46
knomeSkippersBoss, if we're going to replace FF, i think it would made sense to rethink TB too, and atm i don't think replacing those would be a good idea21:46
SkippersBossThats me told of :-)21:47
micahgyeah, both are pretty big, but it's hard to find better options out there21:47
SkippersBossnot having password storage in a browser is not such a bad thing though in this day and age21:47
knomei believe those applications add to the xubuntu experience a lot21:48
pnarcisoWith the time I've spent with midori I don't think is a replacement21:48
SkippersBossyet21:49
pnarcisoI would replace FF only with Chromium21:49
knomefrom my POV, the only considerable option for a browser for xubuntu is midori, but since that's not ready for it yet, i'll rather stick with FF21:50
SkippersBossah21:50
SkippersBoss:-)21:50
knomewell, that being said, anything is up for discussion21:50
knomebut i believe it doesn't make much sense to change to a different browser that has the same functionality, or a bit worse, since our users are accustomed to firefox21:51
knomemidori is a completely different thing, because it's supposed to be much lighter21:51
Unit193Try xxxterm as a nice alternate browser (not for Xubu, for yourself. :P )21:51
SkippersBossSo its not totally out. I m using it since opera keeps crashing. But yep it still needs some work done to it21:51
knomehowever, it doesn't "do it" yet21:51
bluesabreAnd firefox guarantees that it will be current release throughout its lifetime21:51
pnarcisoyes, midori is less resource intensive but it's way behind in features and the level of maintenance of firefox is much higher21:54
knomewe shouldn't compare midori (or other candidates) to FF or other "popular" browsers, we should compare them to the requirements we have in mind21:55
knomeeg. "which features should a web browser in xubuntu have"21:56
SkippersBosspnarciso, I think knome made sence when he said that Yes midori is a consideration for XU but it is not there yet21:56
SkippersBosshear hear 21:56
knomewell, that should always be the starting point for any application that is considered for inclusion :921:57
knome:)21:57
pnarcisoI only wish that flash was abandoned completely, because it's not supported anymore in linux unless chrome is installed21:57
knomei'm hoping that flash will generally phase out21:57
bluesabreYes, please21:57
knomebut that doesn't have much to do with xubuntu :)21:57
SkippersBossthat's why opera keeps crashing :-(21:57
bluesabreMaybe by the next LTS, Flash will be gone.21:57
pnarcisoI hope so21:58
micahgnah, flash has about 4.5 years of life left21:58
micahgwhen 11.2 is EOL, it won't be viable since it'll be chromium only21:58
pnarcisoit's buggy on linux and adobe never bothered to fix it21:58
micahgor PPAPI only rather21:58
knomemicahg, probably until it's dead for good, but i think/hope web designers will start to phase out from it with the new html5 stuff :)21:59
pnarcisohtml5 is much faster21:59
bluesabreI'm a fan of anything that doesn't make my laptop a hovercraft22:00
knomebluesabre, that just sounds like you need to buy a new laptop ;)22:00
knomeanother way of fixing the issue22:00
bluesabreYeah, well, that requires money :D22:00
SkippersBossGrows on trees bluesabre 22:01
SkippersBosslol22:01
pnarcisoThey just announced more austerity measures in my country, so we keep gaining less and less...22:02
SkippersBossnot only in your country22:02
pnarcisothis is full of corrupt politicians22:04
SkippersBosslets take that discussion to OT22:04
pnarcisoit's better :)22:05
pnarcisoI was testing midori againt FF and midori must have some memory leaks because it takes 370 mb of ram compared to FF which take 120 playing the same youtube video22:23
mr_pouitknome: ido-gtk2 and indicator-sound-gtk2 uploaded and waiting in new. Apparently cjwatson could review them if you ask him kindly :P22:23
mr_pouitthanks.22:23
knomenp22:23
knomemr_pouit, poked cjwatson22:24
mr_pouitawesome22:24
knome<:22:24
SkippersBosspnarciso, midori is not a finished product yet. but in the near future hopefully there to replace FF22:25
mr_pouitknome: micahg: also, you're going to hate me, but I'm going to waste some iso space to reinclude indicator-{application,sound}-gtk2 and xfce4-indicator-plugin by default /o\22:25
knomemr_pouit, ahhaha, how much? :P22:25
micahgmr_pouit: nah, should be fine hopefully22:26
knomebut yeah, we probablt want those anyway22:26
pnarcisoso sound indicator is reintroduced, is there any hope for messaging?22:27
knomepnarciso, check the status with bluesabre 22:27
SkippersBosseuh have we dropped pidgin as well ?22:27
knomeSkippersBoss, no?22:27
SkippersBossPfew22:28
knomewhat made you think we did?22:28
SkippersBosspnarciso> so sound indicator is reintroduced, is there any hope for messaging?22:28
SkippersBossmy bad22:28
mr_pouit(there's no hope for indicator-messages afaik, it won't work with xfce4-panel)22:28
pnarcisoand xfce 4.12 won't have gtk3 support :(22:30
knomemr_pouit, well yeah unless bluesabre makes it work ;]22:30
pnarcisomy workaround for mail indicator, is to install a TB extension for it 22:34
SkippersBosshmm. the indicator stack is getting pretty crowded.. Maybe we could thing of having wome kind of drawer/bubble instead in the future22:39
SkippersBosssome kind22:42
