scottbombNeither gmusicbrowser nor parole are able to play music from either a local drive or samba share but VLC is able to play them fine. Trying to launch from Thunar.  I can't tell what the error is because nothing happens. 15:49
scottbombInterestingly, Parole launches from the command line15:51
pleia2knome: great!15:53
=== J21_ is now known as J21
scottbombNow they work after a reboot however gmusicbrowser hangs when I ask it to play a song on a network share15:59
pleia2scottbomb: I think you want #xubuntu16:00
pleia2this is the dev channel, lots more people in the support channel :)16:00
scottbombOk. Just wondering if someone could tell me what package to file a bug report against as I thought this was the channel for that16:01
scottbombI'll take it over there if this keeps up. Just testing the iso16:01
pleia2oh, sorry, you should have asked :)16:02
pleia213.04?16:02
pleia2and did you try launching it from terminal to see if it puts errors there?16:02
scottbombSorry, I wasn't clear on what I was doing. Yes, testing today's build. I'll look up to see how to access shares from the terminal and report any errors16:04
pleia2I mean, just open a terminal and type: gmusicbrowser16:04
pleia2then try to play music from samba or whatever isn't wrking16:04
pleia2see if it outputs any errors in the terminal16:04
Unit193knome: Great!16:05
knomepleia2, skellat: so  https://launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs/  is now fixed19:41
pleia2\o/19:41
knomei'm not sure why the branch doesn't show skellat's branch merged19:42
knomelet's see what the code says19:43
knomehmm, no19:43
knomeWEIRD.19:43
knomedoesn't show up in the quantal branch either19:45
Unit193I am really sorry if I didn't do that right, but merge requested.19:47
knomei will look at that when i sort this out.19:51
Unit193Sure, no hurry.19:55
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
knomeUnit193, merged.20:08
Unit193Wonderful!  Hope it helps.20:08
knomedefinitely20:08
* knome sits down after a busy day and listens to the new kashmir album20:46
Unit193Hmm....I should find that.20:47
knomeyou should *buy* that20:47
knomejust fyi though, it's a bit different than the previous one (once again)20:47
* skellat recommends the band "Moon Hooch" that he heard as the opening act for They Might Be Giants down at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland over the weekend20:49
* knome notes20:50
knomeskellat, your commit has now safely landed in /raring20:50
skellatExcellents20:51
skellats/Excellents/Excellent20:51
knomethat reminds me to approve you to the doc team as well.20:51
Unit193I should check for more problems...20:51
skellatUnit193: I'm already looking at reverting the offline updating text since you reintroduced Keryx which is kinda sorta abadonware now20:57
Unit193skellat: I didn't add that to the Xubuntu docs, though.  It's an interesting project, and I know someone involved, but it is a little dated.20:57
Unit193(Ah, I see, sorry about that.)20:58
skellat:-)20:58
skellatI'll deal with it in yet another merge proposal20:58
skellatEventually20:58
Unit193Part of the other updating, should have built off your patch.20:58
skellatIt happens20:58
skellatRemind me, what is our default file compression tool we install if we do?20:58
knomefile-roller20:59
skellatOkay.  I was thinking squeeze for a moment but couldn't remember.20:59
skellatCopying files with File Browser (a.k.a. Thunar) to a dedicated space under backup tips is okay but using file-roller should also be mentioned as you can make archives...even though file-roller really isn't a backup program per se21:01
knomeyeah21:01
knomenow that we have space on the image we might consider a backup application21:01
skellattar & xz-utils :-)21:02
skellatWe mention DejaDup and LuckyBackup in the offline documentation21:02
knomei use a rsync-based backups myself, but that's not suitable for most21:03
skellatWell, we've got the two mentioned in the docs.  I suppose picking one or the other to add would be good if not using both.  Probably need to check if they're actually in repos, though.21:04
knomei believe they are21:06
knomeand yes, picking one would be good21:06
skellatluckybackup has got the most straight-forward dependencies21:07
skellatdeja-dup hits a three-ways suggests dependency depending upon back-end whether to AWS, Rackspace, or Ubuntu One21:07
Unit193http://pastebin.com/PHBNxuuy if I'm lazy, but I normally use the actual commands.21:09
ochosiknome: i agree on the backup solution21:51
ochosiand having one with some cloud-abilities would seem timely...21:51
skellatochosi: Well, deja-dup has the cloud back-ends22:00
ochosiwanna write an app-comparison?22:00
skellatNot yet22:00
knome<322:00
skellatStill gotta help with getting dinner set up22:01
ochosisure no rush22:01
knomethe question that usually gets negative answers22:01
ochosiwill be too late for R anyway22:01
knomeyeah22:01
knomewell,22:02
knomedocumentation still isn't22:02
* skellat notes on his way to the kitchen table that he did some stuff and filed a new merge22:02
ochosi:)22:03
pleia2https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/108974422:04
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1089744 in gwibber (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu doesn't pull required dependencies for anything using "Online Accounts"" [Undecided,New]22:04
pleia2this is actually quite unpleasant22:04
pleia2I had to pull in a pristine PPA for shotwell to hook it up with flickr again, and just gave up with gwibber22:05
ochosiwhy does this only happen in xubuntu?22:05
pleia2I believe lubuntu had (has?) this problem as well22:05
knomeskellat, just checking if it's intentional that you didn't link the apt-offline page anywhere yet?22:06
ochosipleia2: weird, we're using the same stuff (apt, usc) that ubuntu uses...22:06
pleia2I should probably check if this is still the case in 13.04 ;)22:06
knomethat sounds like a packaging bug22:07
skellatknome: Hmm, thought I added it to the index and then in managing applications referred to it in managing-applications using an xref like the index page refers to other pages22:25
knomeoh, right, you did22:29
knomemy bad22:29
knomepleia2, if you are in any sharper condition than i am, can you review the new page/content quickly?22:30
knomeother than that, it looks fine for me22:30
knomeskellat, btw, in the future, it would make things faster if you pasted the merge request urls on the channel22:32
pleia2what am I looking at?22:33
knome...for that exact reason! :D22:33
knomehttps://code.launchpad.net/~skellat/xubuntu-docs/xubuntu-docs/+merge/15421222:33
knomesee the diff22:33
knomeat the bottom we have this new page22:33
pleia2ty22:33
knomeif that text seems to be fine for you, approve22:33
knomeand i'll merge22:33
Unit193FWIW, I have a script to update it on my server every week. :P22:34
pleia2we don't like Keryx anymore? (sorry if this was discussed earlier)22:37
Unit193pleia2: Dated, last commit '10 and not in repos, IIRC.22:37
pleia2I've never heard of it22:37
knomepleia2, wasn't, but it seems to be dead22:37
pleia2ah good22:37
Unit193Sad. :P22:37
knomeUnit193, some motivation for your friend working on it; if they release more often and it's get back to the ubuntu repositories, we'll reinclude it in our documentation!22:38
pleia2I didn't do technical review, but the words seemed fine, thanks skellat!22:40
Unit193knome: Friend kind of works on it, friends friend is the driver. :P22:41
Unit193knome: Copied your message. ;)22:41
knomegood22:41
knomepleia2, skellat: merged and pushed. thanks22:42
pleia2gold stars all around!22:43
knomeUnit193, if you wish, i can add you to ~xubuntu-doc22:44
knomeUnit193, that gives you nothing except an icon in LP though, and some bragging rights22:44
Unit193knome: I don't think I do enough, and I think it'd be a good idea (at least for now!) to review whatever I commit, but thanks.22:44
knomei will need to review it anyway.22:45
knomethat team has no superpowers22:45
Unit193Well, if you think I contribute enough, go for it.22:45
knomeonly today i was given the magic super powers for ~ubuntu-core-doc22:45
ochosiknome == supercow22:46
knomeour strategy document says »» Commit meaningful contributions to one of the subteams; you will be approved to the subteam for "probation" by a subteam administrator22:46
knomeand you're part of -team already, which is the goal in getting in for "probation"22:47
knomeso... you're climbing butt first to the tree22:47
knomebut that's fine.22:47
knomeadded.22:48
knomealso, i'm trying to involve you more.22:48
knome:)22:48
ochosi+122:49
knomethat's the unwritten part... :)22:49
Unit193Dowh.....22:49
knomeskellat, when your conscience says it's ok to do it, please add yourself to the credits page :)23:03
knomemicahg, would you have some time for UI-related uploads before the UIF?23:23
micahgmmaybe23:24
micahgdepends what23:24
knomecould you cooperate with ochosi? we have all the FFe's ready (where needed)23:24
micahgI can try23:24
knomeochosi, ping23:24
ochosimicahg: hi! basically xubuntu-artwork needs a bump23:25
ochosii can push to trunk, but it needs an upload23:25
micahgeverything committed?23:25
micahgok, please push and I'll take a look later23:25
ochosinot yet, when would be a good time for you to upload?23:25
knomemicahg, thanks :)23:25
ochosimicahg: btw, just out of curiosity: gtk-theme-config will be uploaded by you or do i need to bug someone from the release team?23:27
micahgI can take a look at that later as well23:27
knomewas the freeze 12 UTC tomorrow23:28
knomeor do i always remember that time wrong23:28
micahgthursday :)23:28
knomeoh!23:28
knomeoh!23:28
micahg210023:28
* knome was living wednesday today23:28
knomephew23:28
ochosimicahg: still around?23:50
micahgyeah23:51
ochosiso, the package that needs an update most is shimmer-themes23:51
ochosii've just added new tags to all our gtk-themes on github23:52
ochosibut i can put together a shortlist for you, so it's easier to keep an overview23:52
micahghrm , I can only update that if there are instructions in the apckage23:52
ochosii think all you have to do is download a tarball of each theme and throw the unpacked themes in the package23:53
