skellatOkay, LP #1231978 bothers me greatly on my clean install of the daily.  We need to figure that one out soon.02:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1231978 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar 1.6.3 under xubuntu 13.10 beta2 locks when browsing Trash" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123197802:34
brainwashUnit193: yes, I guess this terminal gtk mneu issue requires some real debugging :(09:42
Noskcaj10brainwash, Can't you use xterm to help with debugging09:46
brainwashNoskcaj10: I did, using another terminal emulator to start xfce4-terminal freezes the session09:47
brainwash(if you trigger the bug)09:47
Noskcaj10brainwash, Some ideas for debugging: Test debian version, Test the xfce version, test older versions. It looks like it's something else rather than the terminal itself though09:53
brainwashright, thanks for the ideas :)09:54
Noskcaj10I've just added myself to the affects list09:56
Noskcaj10But if you can repeat it in a debian install or with the upstream tarball please file the bug there, it should speed up getting a fix09:57
brainwashyes, I will10:00
brainwashwow, first time I see the update notifier applet in saucy11:17
brainwashdoes a bug report for all the hidden gtk3 indicators exist?11:18
brainwashbesides, it's almost unbelievable, how often apport gets triggered, it's like every app wants to segfault once in a while11:21
baizonwell, the update notifier isnt showing up for me :(11:29
baizonnot for me11:29
brainwashit did for me, to tell me that I have an outdated package11:38
brainwashbecause I downgraded xfce4-terminal11:38

skellatWell, looking ahead to the upcoming LTS cycle...this bit of auto-removal news relative to Testing should be interesting: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/09/msg00006.html16:28
skellatNothing Xfce-related is listed so far16:28
brainwashregarding bug 1232027 , shouldn't the missing package be included asap?16:46

kristalSoo gnomers are playing with wayland and kde is getting there... how/when is xfce getting/going wayland?21:17
ochosiafter the gtk3 transition, which is after the 4.12 release21:17
ochosiso it'll be a while21:18
brainwashin like 2 years21:18
kristalOh my, LXDE is going to beat you.21:18
ochosiit's not a contest though21:18
knomeno, not by any means21:19
brainwashfeel free to help porting Xfce to gtk321:19
kristalIt's for feature phallus waving :P21:19
knome!language | kristal 21:19
ubottukristal: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.21:19
kristalWow, I didn't get the language warning for that work on a Christian irc.21:19
knomethat's not a contest either.21:20
kristalWell if it were, you won.  You guys porting the piles of gtk2 stuff to gtk3 or jsut rewriting a lot? I haven't looked into how modular things are.21:21
brainwashochosi: new release of gvfs https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/1.18.1-0ubuntu221:21
kristalLXDE guys are RWing into Qt because they're soo tied into their current stuff.21:21
ochosibrainwash: the changelog doesn't suggest our problem got tackled. but at least now you have a guy to talk to (seb128)21:22
ochosikristal: things are really modular in xfce, so you can port component-by-component21:22
kristalQt is superior to GTK in some ways, but they way Qt uses C++ is a nightmare,  the custom memory system alone deserves it's own book.21:23
ochosiand the main libraries already compile against gtk2 and gtk3, so anyone can start hacking on it21:23
brainwashochosi: guess I'll inform him in #ubuntu-devel21:23
ochosibrainwash: yup, good call21:23
ochosibrainwash: i'm in there, but if you need support, lemme know21:24
kristalochosi: I'd play with it but I'm currently playing with SDL for Qt5 and GTK3.21:24
ochosikristal: that's a shame, xfce could really use more contributors21:25
kristalochosi: If RazorQt and LXDE could join forces, I don't see why XFCE can't eat another project.21:25
kristalReally bowls down to how stubborn the lead devs to both projects are...21:26
knomecan't eat what project?21:26
kristalknome: Any project that's gtk2 going gtk3 could simply work with xfce and become an xfce fork.21:26
kristalLXDE was going to do that but went with RazorQt devs because they decided to go Qt instead of GTK.21:27
ochosii don't know of any gtk2 DE going gtk3 tbh21:27
knomeright, but wouldn't that be the same as just the other people help porting xfce to gtk3?21:27
ali1234can't think of any myself21:27
ali1234i just heard about gnome-flashback today21:28
ochosihmyeah21:28
ochosinot sure that'll be helpful21:28
ali1234they say they're going to port metacity to gtk321:28
knomei don't think there is anything that is enough like xfce21:28
ali1234that's just mutter though. seriously, the code is like 99% copy pasted21:28
ochosiyeah, porting metacity is weird21:28
ochosiali1234: btw, have you considered getting your hands dirty on some xfce project yet?21:29
ali1234like what?21:29
kristalJust have to post an official message of unity and love, mail DEs that are still active but short on manpower, even if they're not gtk2.21:29
ali1234i prefer to find bugs and let someone else fix them21:29
ochosiali1234: dunno, depends on what you use. ppl use xfce in very different ways21:29
ochosihehe, doesn't everyone ;)21:30
ali1234i use thunar and terminal...?21:30
ali1234and panel21:30
ali1234and that's it21:30
kristalToo bad there's still no official Go packaging standard for Linux, then I could make Go software for FOSS projects...21:30
knomekristal, i don't know how that would be different from simply gathering more developers/contributors for xfce. am i missing something?21:30
ali1234i can;t honestly think of any other DEs that haven't already been mentioned except for e1721:31
kristalknome: Not much different, just having projects hook up as well.21:31
* knome shrugs21:31
knomei suppose there is a reason why they are different projects to begin with21:31
ali1234and e17 is a one-man show pretty much21:32
kristalROX is gtk2, kinda dead, maybe ask about them.21:32
ochosikristal: anyway, if you meet motivated folk it'd be nice if you point them in xfce's direction (git.xfce.org)21:32
ochosiali1234: same with xfce though (mostly) atm21:32
kristalochosi: I have, but they went KDE instead. :0 21:32
ali1234i've never heard of ROX before21:32
brainwashyou should head over to #xfce-dev21:33
ochosikristal: thing is, usually people work on foss for fun or to scratch an itch, so "hooking up projects" isn't as easy as it sounds21:33
ochosithe ROX-filemanager?21:33
kristalochosi: Ya it depends on the nature of the project.21:33
kristalochosi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROX_Desktop21:33
ochosiyeah, but "hooking up" those two projects wouldn't add any dev-resources21:35
ochosiand still, people would wanna keep working on the stuff they're interested in21:35
ochosiand since it's open source, people read each other's sourcecode anyway...21:35
kristalochosi: Where I work we basically contribute to another company's code and repackage it as our own... same concept. lol21:35
ochosiali1234: you don't use xfwm4?21:36
ali1234yeah i use that i guess21:36
ochosithat could use some love...21:36
ali1234why?21:36
ali1234show me the bugs21:36
ochosi:)21:36
brainwashopengl compositing :)21:37
ali1234works for me21:37
knomeehm, probably not the highest priority bug :P21:37
ali1234much faster than compiz too21:37
ochosiwell, many patches are rotting in bugzilla21:38
ochosirandom example: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1018421:38
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 10184 in General "Xfwm turns into useless state after setting system time backwards" [Normal,New]21:38
ali1234i don't understand how to use bugzilla21:38
ali1234it's the worst bug tracker ever :(21:39
ali1234you see a bug once and can never find it again because the search is useless21:39
brainwashdoes anyone run debian testing? we need to confirm bug 123197821:39
ubottubug 1231978 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar 1.6.3 locks when browsing Trash with Xubuntu 13.10 Beta 2 and following dailies" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123197821:39
ali1234why would you need to run debian testing to confirm that?21:39
brainwashtoo many questions21:40
kristalI have that bug in ubuntu 13.1021:40
ochosiali1234: then there is a bug in xfwm4/X11 (since 12.10) that you can't use 1px window-borders anymore (it creates weird artifacts on the screen). our workaround was patching the themes. not too nice21:40
ali1234ah the window borders21:40
ali1234those need reworking21:40
ochosiali1234: before i go into more, it just could use someone to look after21:40
ochosiali1234: yeah, stuff like enhanced grab-area for resizing, etc.21:40
ali1234it should be possible to have 0px window borders and still resize windows21:40
ochosiexactly21:41
ali1234kde only got that like a month or two ago :(21:41
ochosii'm not saying those are all critical bugs, but there are 200+ bugs in bugzilla for xfwm421:41
ochosisome extremely long-standing21:41
ochosi(many of those are design decisions)21:42
ali1234how can i see all the bugs affecting xfwm4 in chronological order?21:42
ochosibut also a lot of more recent ones21:42
ochosiali1234: is PM ok? that link is loooong21:42
ali1234ha21:42
skellatbrainwash: I can confirm that it is not found in Debian Testing on armhf with thunar 1.6.3-1 and gvfs 1.16.3-1+b1 according to apt-cache policy21:42
ali1234one time someone told me the link for "how to see all bugs you've commented on or edited" - with the warning "don't use this often, it kills the server"21:43
ali1234and so bugzilla sucks21:43
brainwashskellat: gvfs 1.18 is causing the trouble21:43
ochosiali1234: yeah, agreed to some extent... launchpad is quite awfully slow though and not much better21:44
skellatbrainwash: Well, I've got on armhf what Debian has packaged.  Apparently Ubuntu has its own deltas.  See: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gvfs21:45
ochosiali1234: btw, the link i sent you was sorted by "date when bug was last changed/updated", i can also send you one sorted by when it was opened21:45
kristalbug 1231978 is a far reaching one... every gtk FM I have is affected.21:45

ali1234i can sort it by ID21:45
ochositrue, should be the same :)21:45
brainwashkristal: nautilus, nemo?21:46
kristalbrainwash: PCManFM, Nemo, Thunar... I'll try some more in a few mins.21:46
brainwashso Nemo is affected?21:46
kristal3 FMs, surely not a coincidence, there's a pretty nasty underlying bug.21:46
kristalbrainwash: Definitely.21:47
brainwashnautilus and nemo work fine for me21:47
ochosianyhoo, i'm off for now21:47
ochosibbiab21:47
kristalbrainwash:  With Nemo the FM completely hangs up sometimes, but not 100% of the time like with pcmanfm or thunar21:47
brainwashochosi: cya21:48
ochosicya brainwash 21:48
brainwashskellat: want to file a bug report upstream? bugzilla.gnome.org21:48
kristalbrainwash: right click trash in nemo instead of left click, that seems to do the trick21:49
brainwashkristal: I'll try it21:49
ali1234i can't reproduce that bug about setting the clock back21:50
brainwashkristal: negative, nemo does not crash or lock up21:52
kristalbrainwash: Just found an interesting quirk... after you crash and close... the next time you try you can't crash it again until you restart21:52
brainwashkristal: yes, I can confirm that (I think)21:52
brainwashmaybe there is some randomness involved21:53
kristalWhat a bugger of a bug, it's not very consistent.21:53
kristalI can confirm it's not consistent on any FM, but PCManFM seems to get it the worst.21:53
brainwashdelete some file and hover over the trash icon on the desktop (xfdesktop)21:54
kristalNemo the best, Thunar in the middle... kde's fm seems fine so far21:54
kristalI wonder if fedora 20 has this issue...21:54
brainwashwant to freeze your session? open xterm and start xfce4-terminal, not navigate to Menu Bar > Terminal > Set Encoding21:55
brainwashs/not/now/21:55
ali1234i just LOVE it when people CAPITALIZE random words IN bug REPORTS21:56
Noskcajbrainwash, If you do it xfce4terminal to xfce4-terminal it doesn't freeze the session21:56
brainwashI know, both instances simply vanish21:56
kristalme? let me swap back to xfce, i was playing with lxde... in lxde your desktop wallpaper disappears when the FM crashes, i kid you not.21:56
Noskcajali1234, You get used to it, as well as random swearing and saying that something else is better21:57
brainwashbecause pcmanfm handles the desktop21:57
kristalbrainwash: Ah, that makes sense then.21:57
ali1234i don't mind ranting as long as it is well written21:58
skellatbrainwash: The thing is, after the last apt-get dist-upgrade, the problem stopped on my Saucy Salamander partition.  Then again, there's no longer an option to send something to trash or view trash in Thunar but instead an 'rm -f' sort of menu item.21:59
skellatAnd I wasn't watching to see which packages changed22:00
brainwashskellat: a new release of gvfs has been pushed into proposed 2-3 hours ago22:01
brainwashonly fixing a non-related bug22:01
brainwashskellat: wait, the trash is missing?22:02
brainwashdid you remove gvfs eventually? :D22:02
ali1234speaking of "trash"22:03
ali1234the localization is all mixed up for me22:03
kristalSo I installed trash-cli and this lets me view and empty trash without crashing the FM. :P22:03
ali1234sometimes it is wastebasket, sometimes it is rubbish bin22:03
ali1234and sometimes it is trash22:04
brainwashgarbage can, waste container,..22:05
skellatbrainwash: Nope, gvfs is still there...Trash is just no longer visible in thunar22:05
brainwashskellat: that's odd22:05
skellatYep22:06
* skellat heads to kitchen22:06
kristalBetter having trash disabled until there's a proper fix...22:06
brainwashand why did ubuntu switch to gvfs 1.18 ahead of debian? :/22:07
kristalProbally for some feature or fix that affects canonical only.22:08
kristalhahaha, added trash applet think it'd have it's own little UI for emptying trash.. launches thunar... now have dead thunar22:10
NoskcajThe switch was probably so it was tested for the LTS22:10
Noskcajbtw, can we try and have a PPC release for 14.04?22:10
kristalA lot of 13.10 is intended for 14.0422:11
knomeNoskcaj, where's the testers or the demand really?22:11
kristalARM >>>>>>> PPC22:11
kristalChina is looking for MIPS desktop OSes for their loongson platform, currently they use Debian.22:12
Noskcajknome, there's not much demand. At least lubuntu will have a great PPC release then, and ubuntu might re-make it's image22:12
knomeNoskcaj, why would we have a PPC release for 14.04 then and take the extra workload?22:13
kristaltoo bad sony killed otheros on the ps3, that would have propped up ppc demand22:13
Noskcajkristal, yeah22:13
kristalPS4 and XboxOne are AMD APU, AMD64... I can't wait until one gets hacked and you can run Linux on it.22:14
kristal8GB RAM, 8 weak cores, 1 pretty nice GPU22:14
Noskcaj:)22:14
kristalIt'll be Xbox1 all over again.22:14
Noskcajand linux gaming from the steam box22:14
knomecan we take the non-devel talk to #xubuntu-offtopic? cheers.22:14
Noskcajsure22:15
kristalSorry to paster you about this, but I don't know if the feature exists. In window manger I don't see a keyboard shortcut to undecorate a window, is this not possible? 22:44
