pleia2micahg: +1 re: debian-derivatives post (if I had a mentor it may even convince me to get back into packaging)00:24
micahgcool00:24
pleia2much easier on my brain if all the orphaned packages we need to focus on are in one spot00:25
micahgI was wondering moreso if that was the best way to accomplish what I want in Debian00:26
pleia2what is it that you want to accomplish? highlighting the debian packages that are important for derivatives?00:27
micahgif having a derivative specific team is the way to go, or work harder to get those teams in other team00:27

Unit193Ah, thanks00:38
skaetknome, Elfy -  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Beta1/Xubuntu has the template for the release notes.    Please add Xubuntu specific content to it.    If you want to pull your release notes from a different location, change format, etc.  please update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Beta1 with any new location. 02:06
knomeskaet, sure, thanks :)08:28
ochosimicahg: it would be great to get libxfce4ui with --enable-gtk3 in Xubuntu asap, some apps will switch to Gtk3 soonish (we're almost done porting Parole) so it won't be as easy for people to just install them09:02
ochosimicahg: just saying that even independently of the gtk3 indicators, that might be useful to have (and there are no backdraws to it, as far as i can see)09:03
knomehey ochosi 09:09
smartboyhwknome, so, you want to enable upgrade tests as well?09:09
smartboyhw:)09:09
knomei'm not sure how much upgrade testing we are going to do for beta109:10
smartboyhwknome, OK09:10
knomeelfy, what's your plan on upgrade testing?09:11
knomeelfy, do we want to do testing along the way, or start with b2?09:11
ochosihey knome 09:12
ochosisorry i haven't been able to read all the backlog yet09:12
knomenp09:12
ochosiyou wanted some info on themes-status, right?09:12
knomeochosi, basically: update the blueprints09:12
ochosiah, ok09:12
ochosiactually as i see mr_pouit should do that, my part of the artwork-bp is all done :)09:13
knomeyes09:13
knomewhat i meant is that you should update it if mr_pouit didn't ;)09:13
knomei don't think he's been very active in doing that09:13
ochosihehe, np09:14
ochosidone09:14
knomemicahg, btw, we need a new docs upload at some point09:14
knomecheers09:14
ochosiany other bps that need updating or was there anything else you wanted?09:14
knomei was wondering if you knew about -devel09:14
knome(and doesn't hurt to go through all of them now and them and update as needed)09:14
ochosianything specific wrt -devel?09:15
knomenope09:15
knomewant to write something about artwork side to the release notes for b1?09:16
ochosii could i guess09:17
ochosiwhere do we write them atm?09:17
knomehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/Beta1/Xubuntu09:17
knomethat still says lubuntu here and there09:18
knomebah09:18
smartboyhw-.-09:18
* smartboyhw got skaet happy enough to reference all things as Ubuntu Studio:P09:18
ochosiknome: so artwork goes in software updates or xubuntu desktop?09:18
knomeochosi, desktop09:18
knomethough notice there is no "desktop" section under highlights09:19
knomejust under "known problems" :P09:19
knomebut tweak to your needs09:20
ochosiwhich might be why i asked..? :)09:20
knomehehe09:20
knomewhatever works for me09:20
ochosii think mr_pouit didn't update our icon-theme..09:20
knomewe still have time to do that though :P09:21
knomeor he ;)=09:21
ochosiyeah, i agree09:21
ochosistill, it'd be nice to get the new meta-theme and all09:21
knomeyeah09:21
ochosiotherwise orion isn't really usable09:21
ochosidid gtk-theme-config make it for b1?09:22
knomeafaik, it's uploaded and we now need to add it to our seed09:22
ochosiso it's not installed by default in b109:22
knomeafaik, no09:23
ochosiso i guess it doesn't make sense to mention it09:23
knomewell it doe09:23
knomedoes09:23
knomejust tell we're going to include it in the final release09:23
knomebut for now, this is the situation09:23
ochosik, added09:24
ochosiali1234: btw, in 13.04 the indicator-menus aren't all positioned correctly, is that fixed in git-master yet? (i've not been able to upgrade to 13.10 yet, and testing in 13.04 isn't possible)09:46

ochosiand fixed it in 1.7.1009:51

ochosihe just dropped support/maintenance for it09:54
ochosi(on us :))09:54
knomesure, but we have been updating the looks, right?09:56
ochosiwe have09:59

ubottubug 1177116 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "maximise button does nothing in Ubiquity" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/117711610:31
knomeochosi, i'd imagine it's not a *theming* issue though, just how the window is called or sth?10:32
ochosiknome: yeah, ubiquity has to set different wm-hints i guess10:37
knomeyeah, marked as invalid for xubuntu-artwork10:37
knomeyou think you could investigate that?10:38
knomeor bluesabre, or ubottu 10:38
knomeeh, Unit193 10:38
knomeelfy, reminder: we need to double-check the desktop/post-installation tests before b2, if possible10:39
ochosiknome: this can be fixed by setting a different window-type: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idp630417610:46
ochosior in a more readable form: http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gdk/gdk-Windows.html#GdkWindowTypeHint10:46
knomeochosi, want to reply to the bug?10:47
knomei could then poke cjwatson/stgraber about it10:47
ochosiway ahead of you10:48
knomehu?:)10:48
ochosiwell i already commente10:49
ochosid10:49
knomehehe10:49
knomegood10:49
ochosiso feel free to ping xnox or cjwatson or stgraber about it :)10:49
knomeyeah10:49
knomei'm trying to fix up some of my mess first10:49
xnoxat the moment bug is incomplete, as it's not obvious how the screenshot is taken: from live session or from ubiquity-dm session.10:49
xnoxand ubiquity does set wm-hints.10:50
knomexnox, i just had the same bug while installing10:50
xnoxif they are not honored, it's a bug with the window manager.10:50
ochosiyeah, it does, otherwise minimize would be there10:50
ochosiit's just not the ideal wm-hint10:50
xnoxknome: from live session, or via "install now"10:50
knomevia "insatll now"10:50
ochosi(for xfwm4 at least)10:50
knome*isntall10:50
knome*install10:50
knomexnox, is that the missing piee of information you needed?10:51
ochosii'm not even sure there should be any wm-controls there10:51
ochosii mean why would users want/need a close-button at all?10:52
knomeyup.10:52
knomeor the menu button10:52
ochosixnox: thoughts on that? ^10:52
ochosi(i guess one option would be to set the wm-hint to popup-menu or something)10:52
xnoxthese hints (Gdk.WMFunction.RESIZE | Gdk.WMFunction.MAXIMIZE | Gdk.WMFunction.MOVE) are disabled in ubiquty-dm, if this is not reproducible, it means that xfwm4 is not respecting them.10:52
xnoxor the way xfwm4 is run under ubiquity, doesn't respect them.10:52
ochosithey are respected10:53
ochosiotherwise you could move the window about10:53
ochosior resize it10:53
ochosior maximize it10:53
ochosijust the buttons aren't hidden10:53
ochosiwhich should happen when you set the window-type to e.g. popup-menu10:53
ochosiwm-hints!=window-type (as far as i understand)10:54

knomeelfy, what's your idea re: upgrade testing?12:48
knomeolli_, hey. are you still following the xubuntu-devel list? there has been a few mails about mir stuff there12:49
olli_knome, I will checkt12:50
Unit193Weird, because the one guy has the same card as I do, but different issue.12:50
knomesame card or same ID?12:53

skaetsmartboyhw, oops.  Sorry.  Bad edit on my part.14:43
smartboyhwskaet, what!?14:43
smartboyhwYou should be apologizing to knome not me;P14:44
skaetsmartboyhw,  yes I should have.   Sorry knome.  will fix.    Thanks for pointing it out.14:49
knomeskaet, no problem. i thought it came from a template or something, because iirc, the same spots didn't work the last time15:39
skaetthanks knome.15:40
ali1234ochosi: what do you mean about indicator-menus?15:42
ali1234they look fine to me here on 13.10, but andrjezr said they look funny in 13.04 still15:43
knomeelfy, drafting the gmusibrowser testcase at http://pad.ubuntu.com/SdNxa2psDG15:43
knomegmusicbrowser too15:49
knomeskellat, merged your branch to -docs16:04
ochosiali1234: well it's just that the menus of -sound and -network (=application) are 2px away from the panel16:10
ochosiand i never noticed that before today16:10
ochosiso i thought i'd check with you whether the same thing happens in 13.1016:11
ochosiknome: is it of any testing value if i upgrade to saucy now from raring?16:14
ali1234ochosi: nothing like that for me16:24
ochosithat's good to hear16:24
ochosii'm in the course of upgrading atm16:24
ochosiso then i can test the gtk3 indicators too16:24
ochosi(again)16:25
ochosiali1234: do you use git master or 2.1.0?16:26
ali1234last time i built, they were identical16:26
ali1234so 2.1.016:26
ochosithere is one more commit that might be interesting16:27
ochosihttp://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-indicator-plugin/commit/?id=8272c586561c90ff29eedf552099d7b7d701a57516:27
ochosibut if the icon sizes are ok at the moment, i suppose 2.1 could also be used16:27
ali1234ah, they're not16:28
ali1234but that looks like it could fix it16:28
ochosifix what?16:28
ali1234the icons have too much padding/border at the moment16:28
ochosiah16:28
ali1234so to make the icons not look blurry, you have to make the panel bigger16:28
ochosii can also juggle the css for them a bit16:28
ali1234hmm actually i dont know if the patch is meant to fix this or not, i guess i'll just try it16:30
ochosisounds good :)16:30
ali1234hmm, it does have an effect16:32
ali1234the icons seem to be fixed size now16:32
ochosithat doesn't sound good..?16:32
ochosii thought 2.1.0 should've done that already16:32
ali1234well, it stops them gettin rendered at the wrong size and looking blurry16:32
ochosibut..?16:33
ali1234well now if you shrink the panel they just get chopped off16:33
ochosihow do they look in a 24px tall panel?16:34
ali1234too much padding at the top and they are cropped at the bottom16:35
ochosihm, ok16:35
ochosiwithout theming or are you using greybird from git master?16:35
ali1234i'm using orion from git master16:36
ali1234wait, actually im using orion direct from upstream16:36
ochosiright, that doesn't have any special theming for that yet16:37
ali1234the theme doesn't make any difference anyway - i mean it does, but not to the extra padding16:37
ochosiit does make a difference16:38
ochosithe indicators shouldn't look like regular buttons16:38
ochosiwith all the detail, outline and border16:38
ali1234the don't unless you mouse over them16:38
ochosiso yeah, the theme should trim the border down16:38
elfyknome: thanks 16:38
elfyand I'll try and start looking at the desktop/post install testcases later tonight - probably whack it on a pad16:39
ali1234ochosi: a particularly obvious manifestation of the problem: if you add indicator-datetime and the xfce clock applet and put them next to each other, both tests should have the same vertical position. but they don't16:44
ali1234*texts16:44
ochosiagain: with greybird from git or with orion?16:45
ali1234with any theme at all16:46
ochosithe *only* theme that supports theming of the indicators at all is greybird16:46
ochosithe others only theme the indicators like regular buttons16:46
ochosianyway, i'll test tomorrow and then i can see whether i can influence the border any more16:48
ali1234ok, i'll test later16:48
ali1234bbiab16:48
ali1234ochosi: ok, greybird git works a little better, but not perfect - the test is aligned only when the panel size is even eg 24px, 26px...17:39
ali1234ochosi: does any theme have special css for launchers and the main menu? because if not, i think everything should look the same by default18:23
ali1234is there a tool to inspect the gtk "dom"?18:55
pleia2I really wish amjjawad would stop sending people off of our mailing list for help and recommending lubuntu - knome, perhaps time for a mod talk with him?19:03
pleia2the list is a fine place to ask new questions, it's completely inappropriate for him to be promoting his own support site there19:04
lderanagreed19:05
Unit193-users ml?19:05
pleia2yeah19:05
ali1234wait, you're talking about his sig only?19:07
knomepleia2, i agree with some of the points, however pointing users with 256MB RAM to lubuntu is appropriate19:07
pleia2knome: he didn't know that when he suggested it, it's his default suggestion when things don't work19:07
knomepleia2, sure.19:08
knomepleia2, let me have a quick PM with you :)19:08
pleia2sure19:08
elfyit's his default suggestion19:08
ali1234wait i'm reading the wrong list, nvm19:09
Unit193ali1234: You're reading the *right* list! ;)19:09
ali1234#gtk+ told be about a gtk dom inspector, "gtkparasite" - it works well with xfce4-panel19:47
ali1234git://git.gnome.org/gtkparasite is newer than github19:49
ali1234...but doesn't support gtk2.019:52
elfyknome: gmb looks ok to me. What do you want to double check the desktop/post install testcases for - way it's written? Duplicate tests/simpler requirement for the 2 now we have package tests?20:12
knomelatter20:12
elfyknome: thought as much - just checking :)20:12
knomegmb is not ready yet, but that's pretty much what we came up with now20:13
knomei'm not sure if there's much sense to expand it further20:13
elfyas far as upgrade testing - when do you think we should target that - pre B2 or after - that would be only a couple of weeks20:14
elfygmb - I agree - I'd say what is there is enough to test it20:14
knomewell i'm thinking there's still a lot of things that are just updated or need updating, and i'm not sure if it makes sense to point too much resources to it yet20:14
elfyok - how about I get at least a testcase ready - then we just need to pull trigger when we want to20:15
knomethe upgrade testcase is ready20:15
knomeit's a shared one20:15
elfyaah ok 20:15
knomeso it's just enabling it now or b220:16
elfymmm20:18
elfynot much time between b2 and release - might be better to enable it now20:19
knomesure. want to do that or shall i?20:20
elfycan't remember how ... 20:20
knomeheh20:20
knomei'll do that20:20
elfypoint me at it though please :)20:21
knomelet me find out myself first... :P20:22
elfyhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/admin/config/services/qatracker/builds ?20:23
knomei think so...20:24
knomeheh, you probabty should ask balloons :)20:25
elfyprobably - we'd not want to end up stopping the b1 being there :)20:26
ali1234ochosi: ok, figured it out - there is a GtkAlignment in the mix. something somewhere is setting it's bottom-padding to 0 but not changing any of the others, so it's unbalanced. setting them all to zero makes everything line up properly20:59
knomeoff for now. i might come back later today, but no promises21:01
knomesee you later21:01
* Unit193 forcefully takes over as XPL for the day.21:09
ochosiali1234: that sounds good, can you push the fix to git yourself or have you contacted andrzejr?21:49
ali1234i have an account now. i'm not 100% sure the fix is right though, i actually need to set the padding to (0 1 0 0) which seems wrong, implies something somewhere else is wrong too21:50
ali1234ochosi: something that would be useful is to rule out the theme as a source of problems. can i get a "null" theme somehow?21:52
ochosinot really21:53
ochosibut can you set xalign and yalign to 0.5?21:54
ochosi(not sure what widget-type we're talking about now)21:54
ali1234those are already set21:55
ochosiall themes except greybird set border or padding21:55
ochosibut of you want i canpushsomething to set border, padding and marginto 021:55
ochosi(soryy fro the typos,stupid ipad)21:56
ali1234i'm not sure what i want really21:56
ali1234greybird works with or without this patch btw21:56
ali1234from git that is21:56
ali1234so it has specific theming for indicator-applet?21:56
ochosithat's ok then21:56
ochosiyes21:56
ali1234so, do any themes have specific theming for other applets?21:57
ochosii originally wanted it to pickup themingfromunityindicators21:57
ochosibut somehow andrzejr didnt get that to work21:57
ochosiand it's a bit complicated21:57
ali1234what does that mean?21:57
ochosias xfceuses buttonsand unity uses a menubar21:58
ochosiwe need special theming support for it inour themes21:58
ali1234also why doesn't the applet theme fully change? like the background colour? until i restart the whole panel?21:58
ochosiand other themes will potentially look bad21:58
ochosithat's gtk321:58
ali1234but... gedit changes as soon as i change the theme...21:58
ochosiit's thesame with most gtk3 apps21:58
ochosiit didn't use to21:59
ali1234hmm... maybe it only partly changes too21:59
ochosiand probably doesn't in all its parts21:59
ali1234with orion the indicators look just like everything else on the panel21:59
ochosiwith gtk3 you have to restart all apps to be sure21:59
ali1234except for the misalignment that is21:59
ochosibecause orion has the same bg color everywhere21:59
ali1234i mean the button style22:00
ochosimixed themes are more problematic22:00
ali1234not the background - that's always fine22:00
ali1234(after restart)22:00
ochosiyeah, that's up to th mer22:00
ochosino, in greybird it wouldnt e22:00
ochosibe22:00
ochosisame for albatross and bluebird22:00
ali1234hmm, yes, you're right22:01
ali1234btw, i have an extensively modified version of orion now22:01
ochosiyou can propose changes to satya22:02
ochosiif you want22:02
ali1234i put in the colours from radiance, and fixed the xfwm4 images so that you can recolour the borders without artifacts... and then made it get the gtk colours22:02
ochosithe xfwm4 changes canbe merged by me22:02
ochosifeel free to send them to me somehow22:02
ochosieven tarball via email is ok22:02
ali1234i'll fork the shimmer repo on github22:02
ochosithat's fine too :)22:03
ochosiok, my upgrade to saucy is a semi-fail :)22:07
