knomewhat do you all think of adding super+V as s shortcut for pavucontrol (v as volume)11:44
bluesabreHow often does that need to be opened?11:50
knomesince pulseaudio makes it possible, one might want to mute a single application11:52
bluesabreah, true11:52
bluesabreit would be cool if they added individual volume controls to the sound indicator or something11:53
knomeor change the levels per speaker11:53
knomeor possibly access recording stuff11:53
davmor2knome: do you not have a sound indicator which has a sound settings?  Personally I would link super+v to a video player/mm player that you use v for video kinda thing11:53
bluesabreBut, we do have the sound indicator only two clicks away11:53
knomedavmor2, nope11:54
knomeis there an exo-open for mediaplayer?11:54
knomeor exo wrapper or whatever that's called :)11:54
bluesabrenope11:56
bluesabreunless you're using it to launch a file11:56
bluesabreWebBrowser, MailReader, TerminalEmulator, FileManager are the exo-open applications11:56
pjotr_Hello, I have a feature request for Xubuntu.14:20
pjotr_Currently, Xubuntu is being identified as Ubuntu, in the Grub menu. Which may cause confusion on a multiple boot system. Can this be changed in Xubuntu 13.04, so that Grub calls Xubuntu by it's proper name, in the Grub menu?14:21
pjotr_mr_pouit: maybe you know the answer?14:24
pjotr_I've filed a bug report for this, against xubuntu-default-settings: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/111527114:31
ubottuUbuntu bug 1115271 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu is being called Ubuntu in the Grub menu" [Undecided,New]14:31
pjotr_It's a small bug of course, but even papercuts are worth repairing.... It helps making Xubuntu even better. :-)14:32
micahghrm, I have to try adjusting the precise ISO sizes aga‌16:44
micahg*again16:44
mr_pouitmicahg: ah, we should discuss about that for raring at some point (we bump the limit or just end up with only en_US and no app on amd64 ;-)19:55
micahgprecise is the big problem ATM, raring I think I can fix19:57
knomemicahg, mr_pouit: i think bumping the ISO size for R+ is fine, but i'd like to keep precise CD sized20:01
knomemicahg, mr_pouit: or opt-out of more point releases for P if there's no way to keep it CD sized20:02
micahgif we didn't inherit the backport kernel stuff in precise, we'd be fine20:02
knomeright20:02
knomehow much is that?20:02
knomei think we might have opted-out of that too20:02
micahgno, we got it20:03
knomeyes, but i think somebody asked me if we want it...20:03
micahgI did20:03
micahgI didn't do anything about it yet20:03
knomeright :)20:03
knomeno problem20:03
knomeactually i don't think it's too bad if it looks like we can't keep CD size20:03
knomewe already have a release that's CD sized, people can use that an upgrade in the worst case scenario20:04
knomewe should formally decide to move to a 1GB USB ISO on the next meeting, if that's what the majority of the team wants20:04
ochosi+120:05
knomei think it's more realistic to have that as a goal for 14.0420:05
micahgwell, I think we should keep the default install useful, but minimal20:06
knomeyes20:06
knomeif ubuntu keeps adding stuff that makes us lose most of the applications, that's not good20:07
micahgactually, we could create a xubuntu-full or xubuntu-minimal seed20:07
knome...and ship several ISO's ?20:07
micahgdepending on how we want the ISO20:07
ochosimicahg: wouldn that be lots of work?20:07
ochosi't20:07
micahgno, just a metapackage in the archive for experience20:07
ochosioh20:07
ochosii thought 2 iso-sizes20:07
knomei'm all for -minimal and -full if somebody is willing to work on it20:07
knomewell i thought 2 iso-sizes as well20:07
ochosiyeah, we discussed minimal and full before20:08
knome-desktop == -full20:08
knomeimo20:08
micahgnah, the desktop seed will be a subset or superset of the new one20:08
knomeaha20:08
ochosiquestion is whether it isn't less work to publish instructions on how to make xubuntu-minimal from ubuntu-server isos than actually pushing those isos20:08
knomemicahg, theoretically, how much work would two iso sizes be (if not counting the testing load)20:08
micahgochosi: well, there's always the netboot ISO, that should be used instead of server20:09
micahgknome: twice the testing, not much else20:09
knomeright20:09
knomeif we get our testing working, that might be possible then20:09
knomenot sure if we want to do that, but good to know20:09
micahgto add a meta package to the archive is easy enough20:10
knometo maintain... :)20:12
knomebut yeah, that's what i thought20:12
micahgnah, each file will be listed in one place20:13
micahgs/file/package/20:13
ochosimicahg: have you dealt with package-sets like edubuntu used to have them (or still has them) yet, so that users can choose in ubiquity whether they want to install -desktop or only -minimal?20:14
micahgnah, maybe xnox can help with that20:15
micahgI thought that required ubiquity hacking20:15
micahgthat also would require us to use the larger ISO size20:15
ochosiwhy that?20:16
micahgin edubuntu's case, I believe the squashfs's coexist on the image20:16
knomei believe that's the case20:16
ochosihmm20:16
ochosithen that's not really helpful for our case20:17
knomewe want to discuss with stgraber if we want something like that20:19
ochosiyeah, but if it doesn't help the iso-size issue, i'd rather postpone it20:20
knomesure20:20
knomeprobably doesn't20:20
