DangerMBit quiet in here00:22
darkxstoh crap, libreoffice menu bars are gone again01:55
everaldogood morning14:59
smartboyhwgood evening (almost night) everaldo15:00
everaldoI really need to change my internet company, 8 hours without internet access :(15:00
everaldolooks like a week15:00
smartboyhweveraldo, eh do so:D15:01
jbichahi15:04
everaldojust finishing slideshow15:06
everaldoa little hard to have something good withou any text15:06
smartboyhweveraldo, oooh?15:06
* smartboyhw congrats everaldo 15:06
everaldojbicha, is there something that prevent us to have the gnome foot logo on one of our slides?16:59
jbichaeveraldo: I don't think so17:19
jbichabut there are restrictions on how it can be used17:20
everaldodarkxst, what looks better?18:40
everaldohttp://imagebin.org/23130318:40
everaldoor18:40
everaldohttp://imagebin.org/23130418:40
everaldowithout text is really hard to get it to be nice :(18:41
darkxsteveraldo, I guess the second one18:49
darkxstbut you could almost drop the header and make the screenshot bigger?18:49
everaldodarkxst, yes, I can but it will be diferent from first slide18:50
everaldolet me show first one18:50
everaldofirst: http://imagebin.org/23130718:51
everaldoand second: http://imagebin.org/23130818:51
everaldofirst and last have same layout18:51
everaldothis is the last slide: http://imagebin.org/23130918:52
everaldodarkxst, after first one shows only screenshots without headers?18:59
darkxsteveraldo, yeh, atleast try it and see how it looks19:00
everaldodarkxst, don't looks to nice without header, transition looks to be abrupt19:04
darkxstok19:04
everaldoalso, all other distros slideshow have a header19:05
everaldoI am not happy with this no text slides19:05
darkxstmake the screenshot take up all the space below the header perhaps?19:05
everaldolet me try19:06
darkxstjbicha, so I bought back gdmflexiserver, atleast can now switch users from unity/classic19:10
everaldodarkxst, dimensions are not the same of remaining space and we can't change the size of window19:10
darkxsteveraldo, take screenshots at that dimension?19:11
everaldodarkxst, the best layout is this (IMHO) http://imagebin.org/23131319:11
everaldodarkxst, I can take some screenshots on same dimension but not all, as example gnome-shell must be a fullscreen  screenshot19:12
jbichadarkxst: yes I saw your bug, waiting to see if the patch will be committed or not19:13
everaldojbicha, darkxst, is it so bad to don't have slideshow translations on first Ubunut GNOME ?19:13
everaldoslides with text looks so much better19:13
jbichaeveraldo: yes, this release is a bit of a preview release, there are still major bugs and some of them just won't be fixable for 12.1019:15
jbichait is a good release though and we've done a lot of good work19:15
everaldojbicha, so, can we have some untranslated slides?19:16
jbichaI don't think that's a good idea19:19
jbichaI think we should try to follow the translation deadline rules, if we want to apply to be an official flavor19:20
everaldojbicha, deadline is tomorow, do you think that anyone will translate it today?19:21
jbichaeveraldo: how? the slideshow isn't even finished yet, and then the upload will need to be manually approved19:22
jbichaand the deadline is today19:22
jbichatomorrow morning is like at 5 am my time and I'm not waking up then to do a release19:22
jbichahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslationDeadline19:23
everaldojbicha, so, only two options, I have some slides with texts that looks very nice and some slides with only images that I don't like too much like this: http://imagebin.org/23130419:24
everaldowe must choose one of options19:24
everaldowe are more like http://imagebin.org/231313 or http://imagebin.org/23130419:25
everaldoexcept to the first http://imagebin.org/231307 and last http://imagebin.org/23130919:26
jbichaeveraldo: well the status quo as of this weekend is no slideshow at all19:29
jbichait's possible to have just screenshots/art without text19:29
everaldojbicha, like this http://imagebin.org/23130419:30
everaldo?19:30
jbichatext is tricky19:31
everaldoand we have slideshow, just need to choose between text or no text, as I said, I do prefer with text but.19:32
jbichahttp://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ and http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.6/ don't say "GNOME Shell"19:32
everaldoalso, I showed at least 8 different slides here, so we have a slideshow19:32
everaldook, let me show the complete set, commit and we can discuss better19:34
darkxstjbicha, are you going to merge my user menu suspend fix before freeze? (its quite a nasty bug!)20:10
jbichadarkxst: can you paste the link again?20:15
darkxsthttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/106311020:15
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1063110 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "ubuntu lock on suspend option breaks when suspending via userMenu" [Undecided,New]20:15
everaldojbicha, darkxst, I just commit my first text version of slides to lp:~ecanuto/ubuntu/quantal/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ubuntu-gnome20:22
everaldoalso, you can see an animated gif showing all slides on: http://imagebin.org/23132320:22
everaldojbicha, I just still working to try get something without text beause you guys sugested but the status quo as of this weekend is not slideshow at all20:24
darkxsteveraldo, documents is not included20:25
everaldodarkxst, yes, and new Nautilus is also not included, that is why I don't like the idea to use  http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/20:27
everaldodarkxst, as I said, it was my first version and that is why I still searching for somethings without text20:28
everaldoalso I did a lot of experiences that I showed here20:28
everaldoyou guys just need to choose clearly one way then I make 6~10 slides with/without images in center/left/right, full/partial size20:29
darkxsteveraldo, just do whatever you think looks best (with no text of course)20:41
jbichaeveraldo: sorry for the delay, a few different people talking to me20:41
everaldofor me still looks better with text (we can change some images like the one with Documents)20:42
everaldowithout text20:42
everaldono options looks to be ok because at least we have headers20:42
everaldothe option is to just put the software name on the header and screenshot like in one of versions that I showed20:43
jbichaeveraldo: your latest slideshow on the branch adds a bunch of text20:44
everaldojbicha, I know, it is just the old one, not my current work in progress, it is just to show that we had something on weekend but I just did not commit20:44
jbichaok20:44
everaldojbicha, the current work in progress is something like this: http://imagebin.org/23130420:46
everaldojust image without header don't fit the window and we cant resize the window20:48
everaldo:(20:48
darkxstwhy can't we resize window?20:51
jbichaeveraldo: yeah, that'll do but I think the title should be Ubuntu GNOME or Ubuntu GNOME Remix20:51
everaldojbicha, for all slides?20:51
everaldodarkxst, because it will not fit well the installer20:52
jbichaeveraldo: did you want to do the changes to the debian/ directory also? changelog, control and the .install20:52
jbichaeveraldo: well I only want us to add/modify like one string and I don't think "GNOME Shell" is a term we want to emphasize in the installer20:53
everaldojbicha, let me made another gif with current work using "Ubuntu GNOME" for all headers20:54
everaldojbicha, darkxst , http://imagebin.org/23132821:16
jbichawell those screenshots are a bit disappointing since that's not really what Ubuntu GNOME looks like out of the box21:20
jbichaBoxes & Documents aren't included, Nautilus is still at 3.421:21
everaldojbicha, it can be replaced, it is just to see the sequence and things like: remove slide X, put the slide Y before Z, etc21:23
everaldoalso, things like: remove first and last slide21:25
jbichait kinda needs to be replaced now then, we still need to get a merge proposal done and see if Dylan and the Release Team will accept the freeze break21:26
everaldojbicha, about first and last slide, keep it since it uses the same text from Ubuntu or remove it?21:27
jbichathat's up to you, the first slide needs to use the same title as the other slides though21:29
everaldoyes, it is another question21:30
everaldojbicha, all other flavours uses 12.10 on header, we will use "Ubuntu GNOME 12.10" or just 'Ubuntu GNOME" for all slides?21:32
jbichasure add the 12.1021:32
jbichaok, let's make the final deadline for your work in 1 hour, that will give me a few minutes to finish cleaning up the merge if needed and try to start the FFe process21:33
everaldook, that is fine21:35
darkxstjbicha, another minor packaging tweak for gdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/105535921:43
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1055359 in gdm (Ubuntu) "package gdm 3.5.92.1-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,Confirmed]21:43
darkxstthat should also fix the X sometimes getting killed when gdm is removed21:43
jbichadarkxst: ok I don't understand what that change is doing21:53
jbichauninstalling gdm kills the current session and I thought that was intentional on Debian's part; it is very annoying21:54
jbichabut how does your work fix that?21:55
darkxstjbicha, 1. dont try stopping gdm if its not running, 2. dont stop gdm if there is an active X session21:55
darkxstuninstalling gdm currently only kills the current session if X is running on a different display than :021:56
jbichawhy do we need to stop gdm at all?21:57
darkxstwell I suppose if you don't stop it, then only option would be to reboot22:01
darkxstbut now if would only stop gdm if safe to do so, (i.e. if you are running from a VT, with no active X session)22:01
jbichadarkxst: lightdm doesn't stop itself when it's uninstalled? what would break if gdm is allowed to keep running22:13
jbichaI've uninstalled the currently running kernel before several times and things seemed to be ok22:13
darkxstjbicha, it just means you must reboot to bring up the new display manager22:14
darkxstbut other than that, nothing should break22:17
jbichaok, then I'd rather we not kill gdm at all; sysadmins can either reboot or kill gdm manually22:18
darkxstwith that patch we won't kill gdm if there is an active X session22:20
darkxstbut I could just remove the whole block from the script if you prefer22:20
darkxstso that we never try to stop gdm22:22
jbichasure, I'm not going to push that tonight though as I want to test what happens a bit more22:23
darkxsthere is an alternate patch to never stop gdm -> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~darkxst/ubuntu/quantal/gdm/lp1055359-alt/revision/26922:30
robert_ancelldarkxst, oh hello22:35
robert_ancelldarkxst, did you see my questions in https://code.launchpad.net/~darkxst/ubuntu/quantal/gdm/lp1055359?22:35
robert_ancellJust wondering if we shouldn't just drop that code in the prerm22:36
robert_ancellIt's not in the lightdm package and I can't see any particular demand for it22:36
darkxstrobert_ancell, yes we could22:37
darkxsthttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~darkxst/ubuntu/quantal/gdm/lp1055359-alt/revision/26922:37
darkxstrobert_ancell, but either way we don't want to stop gdm if theres an active X session22:39
robert_ancellexactly22:39
jbichaeveraldo: hey, time's about up22:42
everaldojbicha, ok, commiting22:42
everaldoit is done :-)22:42
everaldolet me juts add debian dir22:43
darkxstrobert_ancell, probably needs to go into precise also? would hate to think what would happen if gdm got killed during a dist-upgrade22:46
robert_ancelldarkxst, sounds right, can you do a "nominate for series" in the bug please?22:48
darkxstok22:49
jbichaeveraldo: for the final slide, could you use the text from Ubuntu's slideshow so as not to add a new string?22:50
everaldojbicha, are you looking last version that I commit?22:51
everaldojbicha, because I removed the text, now it is only links, if you want I can get text back (it was the one from ubuntu)22:51
darkxstrobert_ancell, actually I can't22:52
darkxstI dont have access to that option22:52
robert_ancelldarkxst, oh, is that one of those features that need more permissions? I think it people just used to click on it for everything22:53
robert_ancelldarkxst, ok, I've done that22:53
darkxstso I will update the merge request with my second patch (i.e. just remove that block of code)?22:54
robert_ancelldarkxst, I'm just uploading the change now, so no need22:55
darkxstok22:55
jbichaeveraldo: I think Ubuntu's text gives more context so let's use it; reusing existing strings is ok22:56
everaldook22:58
everaldojbicha, how I can prevent bzr commit to commit changes o .pot files?22:58
jbichaeveraldo: um, we want the .pot updated23:00
everaldook, I will commit them23:00
everaldojbicha, change debian/changelog too?23:03
robert_ancelldarkxst, oh, precise doesn't have the bug. It handles the stop from failing23:07
jbichaeveraldo: yes, please and reference bug 105116223:07
ubot5Launchpad bug 1051162 in ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu (Ubuntu) "FFe: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-gnome" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105116223:07
everaldojbicha, also, theres minimize  and maximize button on my screenshots, is it a problem?23:08
darkxstrobert_ancell, it would still stop gdm, if X session is not on :023:10
jbichaeveraldo: at this point I don't think it's too big of a deal23:10
robert_ancelldarkxst, right, but the specific bug is the package wont uninstall. You'll need to open a new bug if you want this other issue fixed23:10
everaldojbicha, done23:14
* everaldo building package locally23:16
everaldowaiting for building before propose for merge23:18
jbichahmm... on second thought, the slideshows don't use the same potfiles :(23:24

ubot5Ubuntu bug 1064116 in gdm (Ubuntu) "gdm is stopped during uninstall, causing X session to be killed" [Undecided,New]23:25
everaldojbicha, yes, we need to copy ubuntu files to ubuntu-gnome23:26
jbichaok, can you run generate-pot-files.sh again, copy the po files over and I think we need to change the header to say23:28
jbichaubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-gnome instead of ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu23:29
jbichaI just use the find command from http://www.brunolinux.com/02-The_Terminal/Find_and%20Replace_with_Sed.html to do substitutions like that23:30
jbichaand then subscribe ubuntu-release when done23:30
jbichaI sent Dylan McCall an email 2 hours ago to try to give him a heads up that we're trying to push this at the last moment23:31
everaldojbicha, if I copy .po now and they import is again from launchpad we will lose some translations23:32
jbichaeveraldo: um, I think it will be ok but we need to get it uploaded before the language pack builds start early tomorrow23:34
everaldojbicha, what you mean when you say "and then subscribe ubuntu-release when done" ?23:36
jbichaeveraldo: never mind, I just did that23:36
everaldojbicha, also, do you know why I am on revision 501 and lp:ubuntu/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu are on 57 ?23:37
jbichawe need the release team to approve the Feature Freeze Exception23:37
jbichaeveraldo: that's not a problem, you branched the packaging branch which is good; the ubuntu branch is for each time the package is uploaded as a new release in Ubuntu23:38
jbicharobert_ancell: would you be interested in uploading ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu with bug 1051162 if it gets approved by the Release Team23:39
