| kotux | Hello, can somebody on Ubuntu 13.10 confirm this bug? | 01:22 |

| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 1181442 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "gnome-control-center reads 'Ubuntu 13.04' on Saucy" [Undecided,New] | 01:22 |
| infinity | kotux: Yeah, the image needs updating. | 01:23 |
| kotux | infinity, so that string is an image? | 01:23 |
| infinity | kotux: It's not a string at all, no. | 01:24 |
| infinity | If it was, I would have fixed it. :P | 01:24 |
| kotux | well, for my untrained eyes, it looked like one. :S | 01:24 |
| kotux | How difficult is it update images? | 01:25 |
| infinity | Probably not very, I'm just not sure who has the original working copy. | 01:25 |
| infinity | I was considering going MS-Paint style with a spray can over it, but I'm not sure people appreciate "fun" updates anymore. | 01:25 |
| infinity | We've all gotten too stuffy and professional. :( | 01:25 |
| kotux | haha, well, do you think the bug is a manageable task for a starter? | 01:26 |
| * kotux updated the bug report. | 01:26 | |
| infinity | Probably not a bitesize bug, no. Well, not in the "anyone can do it" sense. | 01:27 |
| infinity | Needs someone from the design team to dig up the original logo and make it go. | 01:27 |
| infinity | But I might do the spray can thing as incentive for the desktop team to do it right. :P | 01:28 |
| kotux | Interesting. For the report, should I say the ticket affects the design team? | 01:30 |
| infinity | kotux: I just went ahead and assigned it to the designer who updated the image for 13.04 | 01:35 |
| kotux | Oh great, thanks! | 01:35 |
| ScottK | infinity: Surely gnome-control-center isn't failing to ship things in the preferred form for modification? | 01:37 |
| infinity | ScottK: Yeah, I'm going to follow up with Seb and Rosie about that too. :P | 01:37 |
| infinity | ScottK: (That said, there are hundreds of packages in the archive that ship PNGs instead of some sort of source file) | 01:38 |
| infinity | And, I could edit the PNG, I just prefer not to if there's a shinier master somewhere. | 01:38 |
| ScottK | Sure, but in theory Canonical should know better. | 01:38 |
| kotux | ScottK, yeah. | 01:38 |
| infinity | So should GNOME and KDE, but I bet they both fail on that front too. | 01:39 |
| ScottK | Possible. I know for Oxygen icons all the scalable variants are shipped (and that is the preferred form for modification) | 01:39 |
| kotux | infinity, say I wanted to branch gnome-control-center for scrutiny. | 01:39 |
| kotux | https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center | 01:39 |
| infinity | pull-lp-source gnome-control-center or bzr co lp:ubuntu/gnome-control-center should get you similar results. | 01:40 |
| kotux | on Saucy (active development), there are two branches, both in development. Which one should I pull? | 01:40 |
| infinity | The former being the authoritative source package, the latter being whatever the heck LP thinks is the packaging branch. :P | 01:40 |
| kotux | and sometimes, LP isn't so smart? | 01:41 |
| infinity | Oh, the saucy/saucy-proposed branches are probably identical. | 01:41 |
| infinity | Just the importer being silly. | 01:41 |
| infinity | Yeah, they're the same. | 01:41 |
| infinity | And they both match the archive source too. So, whatever. | 01:42 |
| kotux | in time, which one should I choose? | 01:42 |
| kotux | when things get more complicated | 01:42 |
| infinity | ScottK: Anyhow, I'm not arguing that it's ideal, and I would prefer a non-lossy version of the image in the source package, but I also know it's common to not care about sources for images. :/ | 01:42 |
| infinity | kotux: The archive is the only thing that's ever authoritative, however if you want to play well with others, follow the Vcs-Bzr field from the package's debian/control. | 01:43 |
| infinity | kotux: Which points to a place you've not looked yet. ;) | 01:43 |
| infinity | http://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-control-center/ubuntu | 01:44 |
| kotux | wow, three places! | 01:45 |
| jbicha | it would be much nicer if the version number there was dynamic text (like it is upstream) instead of as an image | 02:10 |
| infinity | That too. | 02:12 |
| jbicha | the version number listed is usually wrong half the release cycle and creates more work for backports | 02:12 |
| infinity | Given that it's in an Ubuntu font that ships on the system anyway, I imagine turning that into a GTK text box that populates with something that looks exactly the same wouldn't be too hard. | 02:14 |
| infinity | Patches welcome, etc. :) | 02:14 |
| infinity | For bonus point, you might even be able to get it to swap logos and text based on which *-desktop packages are installed, but that sounds a bit more ambitious. | 02:14 |
| infinity | (And probably not worth the effort) | 02:15 |
| jbicha | I guess Fedora also patches that spot but they don't include the version number https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695691 | 02:17 |
| ubot2 | jbicha: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Gnome: The read operation timed out (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695691&ctype=xml) | 02:17 |
| infinity | They do, actually. | 02:21 |

| phillw | bdmurray: as it is your bot, the patch for bug 1078820 is being installed into saucy for lubuntu. | 22:09 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1078820 in lubuntu-software-center (Ubuntu) "The lubuntu software centre is not showing any other software execpt the ones already installed on my computer." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1078820 | 22:09 |
| phillw | It already fixes the issue in 13.04, so I guess there will be an SRU at some point :) | 22:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | phillw: someone has to prep the SRU if I'm not mistaken | 22:25 |
