smartboyhwOvenWerks, bug 123611106:12
ubottubug 1236111 in Ubuntu Studio "Help icon in 12.04.3 launcher menu opens 404 page" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123611106:12
smartboyhwFound where the bug occurred, but where should we point to?06:21
smartboyhwzequence, ^06:22
* smartboyhw checks the Quantal version06:24
smartboyhwAnyone disagree with replacing xfhelp4.desktop to exo-open --launch WebBrowser https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio ?06:24
smartboyhw(Other ideas are welcome)06:25
zequencesmartboyhw: That would be fine09:15
zequenceI'm off back to the dentist soon. Something is not right. The pain meds aren't helping much.09:16
smartboyhwzequence, OK for the first sentence, :( for the second...09:41
smartboyhwErm, just realized it's simply a duplicate of Bug 1041882 (the old old bug)10:23

xequencesmartboyhw, I saw that the meta went through. Nice job10:36
smartboyhwxequence, not the -menu10:43
smartboyhwRiddell says the email is not enough, it still needs a ACK directly from -doc and -translators10:43
smartboyhwxequence, the SRU is now waiting for sponsorship:)10:43
xequenceOk. Well, we can always fix that afterwards, so no problem10:44
xequenceI'm just sitting, awaiting my appointment. Luckily it won't cost me nothing. Fixing teeth is not all that cheap. 10:53
smartboyhwxequence, why does it not cost you anything? :O10:54
xequenceIt's included in the procedure. If I get problems, they just fix it. 10:54
xequenceI already paid for it. 10:55
smartboyhwxequence, huh, in HK that does not necessarily happen10:57
smartboyhw(Not saying that it wouldn't)10:57
xequenceWe used to have free dental care. I miss the old days of socialism. 10:57
xequenceWe still have free medical care of course. That, and free education. 10:58
smartboyhwxequence, free medical care does not exist in Hong Kong.10:59
smartboyhw"Free education" does.10:59
smartboyhwIf somebody pushes for free medical care in HK, it would just submerge into the same situation as it is in USA now.11:00
xequenceIt's one of the corner stones in s free society of you ask me. 11:01
smartboyhwxequence, "free" society in Hong Kong? It's utopia...11:04
xequenceWhy. It's not elsewhere11:04
smartboyhwxequence, I don't think so11:35
smartboyhwActually, "free" education in HK always has arguments over how many years11:35
smartboyhwOriginally it's 9, now it's 12 and people are planning for 15 (i.e. kindergarden + primary + secondary_11:36
xequenceShould be free all the way to the University11:37
smartboyhwxequence, aw..11:38
smartboyhwxequence, is Swedish politics very complicated...11:38
smartboyhw>11:38
smartboyhw?11:38
xequenceNot really. They are all so alike, it's boring almost. Except for the emerging Nazi parties that you see everywhere in Europe. But, those are marginal. 11:43
smartboyhwxequence, you're fortunate11:44
smartboyhwIn HK, it's just arguments everywhere11:44
xequenceMuch of what exists today is Thanks to a dominant socialistic rule in the past, and a much stronger economy. At least I don't think it would be as easy to make some of those changes today. 11:47
xequence.. for the same reason11:47
xequenceAlso, countries were more isolated. Today it's a global mess. 11:51
xequencesmartboyhw, you've really done a lot of good work lately. I'm really happy that you are apart of our team. I think you are becoming a valuable contributor to the Ubuntu community as a whole. 11:58
smartboyhwxequence, thank you:)11:58
smartboyhwNow closing some bugs in ubuntustudio-default-settings that were EOL (bug triaging time)11:59
smartboyhwxequence, OvenWerks what happened to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-default-settings/+bug/984970 in the end?12:01

xequenceThat's not a bug12:01
smartboyhwxequence, closing it then...12:01
smartboyhwWhat about Bug 980059 + Bug 98006012:01

smartboyhwxequence, sure, whenever you see fit12:03
smartboyhwOK, this bug marking job is tiring:P12:04
smartboyhwxequential, xequence OvenWerks though, do make sure you apply for ubuntustudio upload access someday:)12:08
smartboyhwI miss ScottK;(12:12
smartboyhwAnd ScottL12:12
smartboyhwScottK for his SRU powers12:12
smartboyhw(even for a few days)12:12
smartboyhwAnd ScottL for his leading position for Studio12:13
smartboyhwAll Scotts sound nice;)12:13
smartboyhwxequential, just realized it's actually a full cycle since you've been project lead, congratulations!12:14
zequencesmartboyhw: Thanks12:16
zequenceIt's been a really slow cycle for me, as a developer, but I've been around to answer questions and what not, so that's good12:16
smartboyhwzequence, BTW, we seriously have to discuss about participation in vUDS12:19
smartboyhw(First thing: I can't appear in video, as you well know)12:19
xequentialYeah, this time we will have a session12:19
smartboyhwxequential, OK, do we want one with blueprints, or just one without?12:19
smartboyhw(i.e. a general discussion)12:20
xequentialI've been planning that all along.  Mostly for attracting developers12:20
xequentialMore for the sake of PR.12:20
xequentialBut we also need to have a few meetings12:20
smartboyhwxequential, for meetings I prefer 15:00 UTC, where most people would be here:P12:21
xequentialThat should work on weekends at least12:21

smartboyhwHello cub 14:12
cubhi there smartboyhw, how's things?14:14
smartboyhwcub, good14:14
cubsmartboyhw, how can I proceed with my stubborn accessibility task for Orca? It need to have speech-dispatcher to be able to do voice during the installation process. We added gnoem-orca and brltty before FF. But how do I add speech-dispatcher at this point?14:20
cubI suppose I'll make a bug whiuch then can be fixeD?14:20
smartboyhwcub, mmm, you're quite late.... It's 3 days before FinalFreeze14:21
cubyeah it is what it is14:23
cubif we manage, great. If not, we'll wait for 14.04. :)14:23
smartboyhwcub, what you need to do: 1. Make gnome-orca in gnome-orca source package's debian/control Suggests: speech-dispatcher. 2. File an FFe. 3. Ask for a sponsor to upload it.14:25
smartboyhwOr wait, you mean during the installation process?14:25
smartboyhwEh, that's more difficult14:25
cubyes14:25
smartboyhwcub, you probably have to touch the seeds (and I'm not sure if you have to touch ubuntustudio-default-settings)14:26
cubit was very easy to add gnome-orca and brltty earlier?14:26
cubjust too bad gnome-orca didn't list the speech-dispatcher as a dependency as I thought it was14:27
smartboyhwcub, you need an ACK from zequence and/or OvenWerks first to add speech-dispatcher into the seeds. (14:28
cubok, and then?14:28
smartboyhw(Then we might have to properly request a FFe to update ubuntustudio-meta) <- cub, you want speech-dispatcher in the system after installation as well?14:28
smartboyhwACK from the two big devs -> update seeds -> (FFe to update ubuntustudio-meta)14:29
cubwell yeah, if you are a person who need speech during installation I assume you would need it after the installation is done as well. :D14:29
smartboyhwcub, ok, we need to update seeds and ask for a FFe then14:30
smartboyhwUpdate seeds are easier14:30
smartboyhwJust do what you did last time14:30
cubis it possible to get a FFe through this close?14:30
smartboyhwcub, it depends.14:31
cubWhat I mean is, should we bother?14:31
smartboyhwcub, that's why I need an ACK from zequence + OvenWerks 14:31
cubI'll catch them later on today.14:32
smartboyhwcub, maybe do the change, and propose a merge proposal first?14:32
cubyeah14:32
smartboyhwWe can accept/reject it if they like;)14:32
cubbut I need my home computer for the luanchpad14:32
smartboyhwcub, huh!?14:32
smartboyhwWhy?14:32
cubI don't have a proper set up on my work computer14:32
smartboyhwuh ok14:33
smartboyhwcub, have you requested a FFe before?14:33
cubnope14:33
smartboyhw(I mean, generally(14:33
smartboyhwcub, you need some experience on that part14:34
smartboyhwSRU + FFe is something Ubuntu devs learn to file;)14:34
cubthat's why I'm asking you about the process14:34
cubhowever, I have to go. Work is piling up :/14:35
smartboyhwcub, sure14:35
cubI'll be back later on 14:35
smartboyhwxequential, ^14:36
zequenceholstein: hey man15:35
holsteinzequence: yo15:35
zequenceholstein: you pinged me yesterday. What's up?15:35
holsteinzequence: my shell account is dropping me :/15:35
smartboyhwHello holstein :)15:35
holsteinlots of reboots15:35
holsteinzequence: i was just going to ask about that bug question in the main channel15:36
holsteini think smartboyhw is on it..15:36
zequenceAh, yeag15:36
holsteinthe "help button" opening firefox and going 40415:36
smartboyhwzequence, what do you think of the discussion between me and cub?15:36
zequenceHe managed that, yes15:36
smartboyhwholstein, waiting for some kind person to sponsor the upload (and a SRU team member to ACK it afterwards, of course)15:36
holsteinsmartboyhw: you're a star :)15:37
holsteinsmartboyhw: maybe i can take some time and hang with you and catch up on how you deal with those issues15:37
zequencesmartboyhw: I won't bother about it for 13.10, myself. So, I'll leave that to him, if he really wants to try getting it in15:37
holsteini had done the bug squad sponsorship, but i got too busy15:37
smartboyhwholstein, well, it's just because I've got half day off-school and no homework and boringness before FinalFreeze:P15:38
smartboyhwzequence, it's not a problem on 13.1015:38
zequence13.10 is not unimportant, but it's so close to 14.04, which will overshadow it15:38
smartboyhwIt's just a problem on 12.0415:38
smartboyhw(in case we are talking of the 404 problem)15:38
smartboyhwzequence, or are you talking about the speech-dispatcher?15:38
* smartboyhw gets confused between two bugs:P15:38
zequenceI also want to put special focus on 14.04 as far as maintenance goes. We need to start doing backports and updating software, making 14.04 an up tp date release all the way up until 16.0415:39
smartboyhw*Two packages...15:39
holsteini like the shorter normal releases15:39
zequenceThat way we can put less focus on the interim releases15:39
* smartboyhw agrees with holstein 15:39
holsteinnot that many things were backported to the normal releases, but that shorter term should make things easier15:39
smartboyhwzequence, good time to have our first few MREs:P15:40
zequencebackporting means we need to do testing. So we don't backport something that introduces some weird problem15:40
zequenceso, we really need to get on board the whole testing thing for this cycle. make it into a system, and find more contributors15:40
smartboyhwThe more contributors thing is what we REALLY need... We are basically the second or third least-tested flavour...15:41
zequenceI'm going to put as much work as I can into making 14.04 a great release, one which will overshadow all others. And, after that, I will be less active developing Ubuntu Studio. I'll continue as a project lead until we either get a bigger team and can have elections, or until the time is right for someone else to take over, who I choose.15:42
smartboyhwzequence, hah? That's not exactly great news.....15:43
zequenceThe goal is to make 14.04 so good, we don't really need any more releases until 16.04.15:43
smartboyhw(For the less active part)15:43
zequenceI need to work on other things in the future15:43
zequenceI have some plans for Debian. But, also, my own stuff. Music, mostly.15:44
smartboyhwHopefully we do get more contributors, if not Len and cub and me will go overloaded-.-15:44
zequenceNo, I think you'll be fine no matter how things goes15:44
zequenceIf 14.04 is great, we hardly need to do anything until 16.04. Each middle release needs minor amounts of maintenance.15:45
smartboyhwI think one thing we need to emphasize when asking for contributors is that "It does not require actual coding knowledge!"15:45
smartboyhwActual = C++ and that sort of stuff15:45
smartboyhwYeah, after 14.04 LTS we won't be sure if there will be normal releases...15:46
zequenceRight. We don't even know what will happen after that15:47
smartboyhwProbably they will smash normal releases15:47
zequenceWell, right now I'm happy if I can be pain free for a little while. Got some stronger pain meds, and they don't work either when it gets bad15:49
smartboyhwzequence, smash pain:)15:50
cubHi OvenWerks or zequence active?18:09
zequencecub: I'd not worry about that stuff for 13.1018:40
zequenceIt would be nice, but it's so late.18:40
zequenceAnd 14.04 is soon here18:40
cubyeah, I got caught up in work and family so couldn't put as much time into it earlier18:41
cubalas, orca will work for users with braille support. I just can't test it myself.18:41
cubI'll dig in to the workflows instead and the upcoming RC tests.18:44
zequencecub: I think it's really nice you've put some time into that18:44
zequencecub: It may be we are the only multimedia capable OS who are able to do that well18:44
zequencecub: Maybe there's not much left to do for 14.04, to get that optimized?18:45
cubit might be even better for 14.04 as orca works best under Gnome18:45
cubdinner's ready..bbl :D18:45
