[02:22] Can we get one of the xubuntu members as an admin on the xubuntu sub-reddit? Then we could get a flair like the ubuntu subrddit [02:23] I won't go near reddit, so if someone else wants to they are welcome to [02:24] i don't understand reddit [02:24] it makes no friggin sense [02:25] Man that site can be funnah. :D [02:26] Not looked at any subs on there for a while though. [02:27] GridCube, It's one of the best (and if well used, best for promotion) websites. It is difficult to learn though [02:27] pleia2, I could try and contact the mods. I'm looking into a similar thing for kubuntu and lubuntu [03:46] * skellat notes far too late that he outright abandoned reddit as he found little use for it in the end game as it was full of...nothing... === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [11:11] ochosi: regarding the greeter -> xfce transition, http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/tree/src/compositor.c#n806 [11:12] ochosi: you can build xfwm4 with MONITOR_ROOT_PIXMAP defined [11:12] ochosi: I'll test it and report any drawbacks [12:17] the xfce4-panel app menu is able to scale pixmap icon files properly (now), but the xfdesktop app menu still isn't [12:18] it also does not display the missing-icon-file symbol [12:19] strnage inconsistency [12:39] yeah, separate menus [12:40] brainwash: i'm very interested to hear about that xfwm4 thingy [13:41] ochosi: I don't notice any change [13:43] ochosi: I even compiled it a second time after editing the source file directly [14:28] brainwash: hm, right, well xfdesktop's maintainer is aware of the issue [14:33] ochosi: of what? the general issue? [14:34] the slow startup of xfdesktop [14:34] and the missing pixmap scaling? [14:34] did you talk to him/her? [14:36] (you can test it with gcolor2 for example) [14:39] missing pixmap scaling? [14:40] (there's just been the first 4.11 release of the desktop today, btw) [14:44] install gcolor2, right-click the desktop > app menu > graphics [14:46] that menu is gone in 4.11 [14:47] (which is what i'm using atm) [14:47] so you have to be more concrete with the pixmap scaling issue [14:47] gone?! [14:47] yeah, there's only the app-menu [14:48] what I'm trying to tell you is, that xfdesktop is still affected by bug 1061037 [14:48] bug 1061037 in gdk-pixbuf (Ubuntu) "Using .xpm icons on desktop may draw huge icon" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1061037 [14:48] aha [14:49] the normal panel menu isn't anymore [14:49] true [14:50] I guess we simply ignore this :) [14:50] well xpm icons are very retro ;) [14:50] but yeah, it should be fixed at some point [14:50] ideally for 4.12 [14:51] and only few apps ship a launcher with full path xpm icon specified in their .desktop file [14:51] IDLE, gcolor2, gnome disk analyzer [14:52] are there bugreports for those apps upstream? [14:52] (or are all of them still maintained?) [14:55] don't fix the apps, fix the broken app menu :D [14:55] which will be gone soon anyway :/ [14:56] no, that app-menu is still there [14:57] there were 2 variants in the 4.10 desktop-menu [14:58] ah, so 1 menu implementation remains [14:58] for both [14:58] one that was solely for apps and one that had some desktop-specific stuff [14:58] now there's only the one for apps [14:58] at least as far as i can say [15:16] ochosi: should I file the bug report about the non smooth greeter -> desktop transition against xfwm4, xfdesktop, xfce4-session or xubuntu-meta? [15:17] i'm not sure :} [15:26] it must be said [15:26] ubuntu 13.10 is stil lreally unstable :P [15:50] Pwnna: what exactly is unstable? [15:51] everything [15:51] nope [15:51] not so here [15:51] cannot go to sleep. if i play video games for a while (couple minutes), my computer will slow down and frame rate drops by about 60%. [15:51] no reason either, there's no overheating and such [15:52] I assume you've posted bugs where appropriate [15:52] not a lot of logs. the only thing i can see is this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53571 but that's related to lock up [15:52] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 53571 in Video(DRI - Intel) "[fdo:54226] stale bcs->rcs semaphore" [Normal,New] [15:52] elfy: i don't have logs.. [15:52] like. nothing in the logs [15:53] bluetooth mouse does not reconnect like it did in 13.04 [15:53] ubuntu-bug blueman [15:54] but i don't have logs.. so like it's like saying. hey my bluetooth requires me to manually reconnect sometimes, not all the time. also i don't have logs [15:54] in 13.04 it worked! [15:54] that kinda bug report is not really useful :3 [15:54] ubuntu-bug blueman [15:55] and saying 'everything is unstable' is useful? [15:55] it's not [15:55] i was hoping someone can help me get logs [15:55] the graphics/processing issue is the critical one [15:55] but i can't get any logs [15:56] i can reproduce everytime [15:58] then report it - use ubuntu-bug and it'll grab what it needs afaik - then watch the bug and see if anything else is required [16:03] well for the graphics one idk what the component maybe [16:03] it might be the kernel, mesa, idk [16:03] there are plenty of log files located in /var/log [16:03] nothing relating to the grapics issue. [16:04] other than that bug that i found upstream, but that one is a) relating to lockups (which it did on my system) and b) present for a long time, but didn't show before. so i doubt that whatever is happening now is related to that..? [16:06] Pwnna: so what grpahics card is it [16:06] happens on both my intel HD 3000 and the nvidia card [16:07] i think that one is quadro 4200 [16:07] so how long has this been going on then with saucy? [16:07] ever since i upgraded to it [16:07] right [16:08] I'm not psychic enough to be able to guess when that was [16:08] oh. 4 days ago [16:08] can you still boot one of the raring kernels or are they gone already? [16:08] i see stack traces... probably relating to the sleep issue [16:08] brainwash: gone [16:10] not sure, if this is the right channel for this kind of issue [16:10] does not seem to be xubuntu specific [16:11] did you already ask in #ubuntu+1? [16:11] Pwnna: you might well find someone who can help in #ubuntu+1 [16:12] yeah [16:12] maybe [16:44] Notice(queuebot): Unapproved: rejected libxfce4ui [sync] (saucy-proposed) [4.10.0-4] [16:48] saw that ... [16:50] brainwash: confirmed thge xfwm4 bug [16:51] what xfwm4 bug? [16:51] more like a wishlist thingy [16:51] the one you two were talking about earlier - "If the built-in compositor is enabled, xfwm4 will draw a plain grey background over the lightdm greeter background on session login" [16:52] bug 1232804 [16:52] bug 1232804 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "[compositing] improve login greeter -> desktop transition" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1232804 [16:53] ah ok [16:54] yeah, as i said, not sure what component this bug should actually be filed against [16:54] did some more code hacking, but no success so far [16:54] have you tried enabling the splash-screen? [16:54] i mean the xfce-splash-screen [16:54] no, isn't that some ancient stuff? [16:55] and could it help? [16:55] well, it might still help to create a custom splash-screen that shows the user's wallpaper [16:55] for me it's hard to test anyway, the ssd makes the session load very quickly, so i don't see your bug [16:56] compositing enabled? [16:56] yup [16:56] i also use autologin [16:56] that might contribute [16:56] yea [16:58] it's just an idea for the next milestone [16:59] maybe tag it brainwash [16:59] though it might be useful to sort out an official xubuntu tag of some sort [16:59] don't know how [17:00] or which tag [17:02] no idea how to create a new one - we were talking about this the other day [17:02] or at least someone and me was lol [17:03] We got libxfce4ui rejected in queue. Somebody may need to pop over to #ubuntu-release to discuss that. [17:13] what version of libxfce4ui is that and why was it uploaded? [17:13] connected to a bugreport? [17:13] brainwash: just to add that, xfwm4 is not currently in active development [17:13] at least not really [17:15] bug 1228731 [17:15] bug 1228731 in libxfce4ui (Ubuntu) "[FFe] Sync libxfce4ui 4.10.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1228731 [17:15] ochosi: connected with bug 1055407 and bug 1198746 [17:15] bug 346386 in apt (Ubuntu Precise) "duplicate for #1055407 [MASTER] Update fails with invalid package files with "Encountered a section with no Package: header"" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/346386 [17:15] bug 1198746 in libxfce4ui (Ubuntu) "Drop /usr/share/xfce4/vendorinfo" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1198746 [17:16] bug 1054407 [17:16] bug 1054407 in xfce4-screenshooter (Ubuntu) "xfhelp4 is not installed" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1054407 [17:16] I mean :) [17:16] ah right [17:16] xfhelp stuff [17:16] yup [19:41] xnox: Howdy. Do you know where I should go for questions with ubiquiry and casper? [20:12] hey mr_pouit [20:19] hey Noskcaj [20:20] xfwm4 just got merged and libxfce4ui will be synced very soon [22:05] Unit193: #ubuntu-installer [22:32] any idea, how I could debug bug 1206739 ? [22:32] bug 1206739 in xfce4-terminal (Ubuntu) "xfce4-terminal crashed with SIGSEGV in magazine_chain_pop_head()" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1206739 [22:36] brainwash, install the -dev and -dbg packages for it if they exist, then run it from a terminal (with debug enabled, if possible). That's at least where to start [22:38] sadly no debug mode available, and running it from another terminal window will instantly crash both when the bug gets triggered [22:39] running it from a different terminal app will freeze the session (partially) [22:40] brainwash, maybe add "| tee FILENAME" at the end to get the logs (where FILENAME is whatever you want), but i assume the logs get recorded anyway [22:40] well, actually it does freeze the session completely, a working cursor does not help that much :) [22:42] tee redirects only stdout [22:42] I'll try it [23:00] brainwash: i think the most effective thing you can do is file a bug upstream [23:00] or check whether there's already one [23:01] and as soon as NSchermer is around again, you can ask him whether he can reproduce it [23:01] but it's possibly ubuntu-specific [23:02] maybe it needs to be rebuilt against a recent version of glib [23:03] I want to improve my debugging skills... but thus particular bug is strange [23:03] this [23:11] ochosi: are there any Xfce (core) developers which are also members of the Xubuntu team? [23:17] not really [23:17] bluesabre, mr_pouit and me contributed a bit to the display settings [23:18] but at the moment there aren't even that many core devs of xfce [23:22] ok :/ [23:22] I guess they could need some man power for the gtk3 transition [23:23] and wayland support [23:24] indeed [23:24] feel free to start contributing! [23:25] or even start to motivate/recruit others ;) [23:26] I'm trying to get started, but the source code seems be quite complex and it's not easy to understand what's going on :) [23:27] and the whole api mess [23:27] hundreds of different apis [23:30] trying to fix bugs is always a good start
