skellatAre we leaving LP Bug #1208204 as a known issue at release?01:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/120820401:14
Unit193skellat: Well, it's way to late to land GTK3, can't port all the new stuff, so it'd either be a hack or fixed after release.01:50
skellatUnit193: SRU/Backports it is02:06
skellatPraise the Lord this thing is only supported for 9 months02:07
Unit193It's the stable release for 9 months.02:15
pmjdebruijnbtw I tried to repackage indicator-sound as xubuntu-indicator-sound for a gtk2 service patch06:59
pmjdebruijnbut that didn't work, as Provides idnicator-sound doesn't work since indicator-sound-gtk2 defines an explicit version requirement06:59
pmjdebruijnwhich Provides can't.... erhm... provide :)06:59
pmjdebruijnso that was a bust06:59
pmjdebruijnhttps://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/xubuntu-indicator-sound-testing07:00
pmjdebruijnI did modify the original package and put it on a ppa07:00
pmjdebruijnbut of course that's no feasible solution for upstream07:00
ali1234there is no upstream07:07
ali1234that code is not maintained any more07:07
pmjdebruijnI meant upstream (ubuntu) packaging07:07
pmjdebruijnsorry for the confusing wording07:07

Unit193xnox: Hello.  It seems ubiquity will not start and will "silently" fail if upower is not installed, might want to depend on it?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/624995008:27
Unit193(And thus ends my test, oom-killer took it out.)08:27
Unit193...Or I should stop doing weird things/breaking other peoples toys? :P08:28
elfywhere's the fun in that?08:36
xnoxUnit193: all ubiquity images have upower on them..... what image / cd are you using?08:40
Unit193elfy: Less getting hollered at, here watch.08:41
Unit193xnox: It's not anything relly, just debootstrap base and chroot in and install, then make live.08:41
Unit193(ccan't type now.)08:41
Unit193+well08:41
xnoxUnit193: don't do that.08:42
xnoxUnit193: that's not support, use lp:livecd-rootfs / lp:ubuntu-cdimage to build live images using seeds.08:42
xnoxUnit193: no need to re-invent all of that.08:42
Unit193xnox: Where's the fun in that? :P  And that kind of assumes that I'm building a normal flavor?  Thanks for the links though, taking a look.  (Already re-invented thw wheel though.)  Figured you'd might want to know though, as it doesn't start without it...08:44

xnoxUnit193: it's not the only thing that will not work.....08:48
xnoxUnit193: you do need a normalish desktopish install to make ubiquity actually work.08:48
Unit193xnox: Understandable, I was using openbox. :D08:48
slickymasterhi, elfy 08:49
Unit193xnox: So guessing considered "NotABug"?  :/08:49
xnoxUnit193: i thought we had an openbox flabour, there was one unofficial one bluebuntu or something.08:49
Unit193Not the slightest clue, was testing something else really.08:50
Unit193xnox: And "regressions" in casper could be asked aoub in #ubuntu-installer perhaps?08:57
xnoxUnit193: casper dicussions are on-topic on #ubuntu-installer.08:57
Unit193Cool, sorry for the bother (and lack of typing ability)08:58
elfyknome: upgrades are tested - both 64bit and 32bit have at least 1 test I've done for each today and a bunch of tests done over the last few days for superseded ones11:07

ochosibrainwash: so i guess i have to check whether we can do in the greeter what feh does (set the root background)11:22
brainwashochosi: and we need to build xfwm4 with the flag which enables the copy mechanism of the root background11:26
brainwash..and do some testing, there have to be some drawbacks11:28
ochosiyes?11:28
ochosilike what11:28
brainwashit's not enabled by default11:28
ochosiso what are the drawbacks?11:30
brainwashperformance loss? the background gets set and then copied11:31
brainwashmaybe visual glitches11:31
brainwashif something goes wrong11:32
brainwashso it needs to be tested, but we got plenty of time until 14.04 :)11:32
ochosioh, i thought _you_ noticed some drawbacks11:33
ochosiwell yes, ofc it has to be tested11:33
ochosibtw, didn't you point out that the calendar-icons were inconsistent in some sizes? (32 and 16px)11:34
ochosianyhoo, i fixed that yesterday11:34
knomei think i did11:34
brainwashwasn't me11:34
ochosiah, hi knome 11:34
ochosiand: you're welcome ;)11:34
knomehullo.11:34
knomecheers11:34
brainwashbut it's usually my job to complain about low res icons :D11:35
brainwashhow do you mark bug 1232804 for the next release? or add it to the todo list for 14.04?11:37

ochosiunless we're only using the wiki now to track 14.04, then you can add it there11:41
ochosi(wait for knome's answer on that)11:42
knomewha?11:43
knomeadd to the wiki11:43
knomeeasier to follow, supports locks and stuff11:43
knomelet's move stuff to blueprints when we are done and decided on stuff we want to work on11:43

knomeyou are if you have ubuntu SSO (LP account)11:47
brainwashok, it won't let me log in currently (stuck at the personal data request)11:51
ochosithat sometimes takes a while11:52
ochosior a few attempts11:53
elfyochosi: sometimes ? is that some European thing for 'always' :p12:10
Unit193And also something about copy it into a text editor before hitting save, or else you might lose it?12:10
elfyahah :)12:11
elfyknome: so - when shall we/I mark these as ready?12:11
knomeelfy, i'm totally out of the loop. if they look/feel ready to you, please mark them as such12:13
elfylol - ok - well I've not seen anything new - some of the odd ubiquity issues are gone it seems12:13
elfyI'll mark them now then12:13
knomeare there non-ready images?12:17

elfyknome: yea - lubuntu for one12:18

knomehow do i disable them?12:20
brainwashnormal unity/compiz shouldn't be affected12:21
brainwashxubuntu does not ship with them :)12:21
knomewell apparently, i have them enabled after upgrade...12:21
knomeor then it's a non-overlay-scrollbar issue12:21
brainwashthe small scrollbars with the popup handle?12:21
knomehmm, no12:22
knomescrolling doesn't work without that either.12:22
knomeworks in other apps12:22
brainwashyes, only some gtk3 apps are affected12:22
knomeSetting the environment variable "GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1" does resolve this issue.12:23
brainwashbut the issue was gone after disabling overlay scrollbars on my system12:23

olbiGratz to Xubuntu 13.10, but this sound menu isn't very good for team :/16:13
elfyreally16:15
brainwashthanks for reminding us about the sound indicator :)16:15
elfywe deliberately made sure it wasn't fixed so people could complain16:15
GridCubehahaha16:17
* slickymaster LOL16:24
elfyI ought to say that I was in fact joking as someone might read the logs and think I was serious 16:25
elfyfor Justin's Case16:25
brainwashochosi: any news on how lubuntu locks the screen? still only vt switching without actually locking the session?16:36
olbihehe :D16:41
* skellat lifts his trucker's cup full of decaf tea to the notion that Stable Release Updates will be very needed for 13.1016:46
elfydecaf tea? 16:46
skellatelfy: I'm not allowed caffeine16:46
brainwashwho is in charge of setting up the xfce4-panel gtk3 indicator PPA?16:48
ali1234brainwash: micahg was trying to do it18:32
NoskcajHas there name of t-series been announced yet?19:00
knomenot as far as i know19:01
Unit193skellat: Erm, just looked at the T roadmap, that's not really what I was talking to xn ox about...19:26
Unit193skellat: You are free to use that information for later use with Xubuntu core, but that was only slightly in mind at the time...19:29
Unit193Added the meeting to the Xubuntu team calendar, but didn't see a link to it in the wiki or website.20:16
brainwashali1234: ok, maybe it will be up and running soon20:17
elfycya tomorrow20:18
brainwashali1234: any more news regarding the users-admin segfault? just leave the report open and forget about it?20:18
ali1234nothing from me20:19
brainwashany drawbacks when the clear operation gets removed?20:22
Unit193knome: Most likely won't make it to the meeting, but I had nothing (of interest) to say anywho.21:04
Noskcaj10I can't make the meeting (timezone issues), can we add python3 and what xfce4.11 stuff we want to the agenda?21:06
Noskcaj10Or is that something for UDS?21:12
pleia2updated http://docs.xubuntu.org/21:27
brainwashwould the change proposed by bug 1241210 affect Xubuntu?21:31

Unit193pleia2: Great!21:34
ali1234i just realised something about the gtk2 sound indicator - it's actually really easy to bodge it and make it work21:39
ali1234all that is required it to change the dbus service name in both halves and add a new dbus service initializer21:39
ali1234then it will be as if it is a totally different indicator21:39
ali1234this is probably what they should have done when changing to gtk3 in the first place21:40
Unit193Please pardon my lack of knowledge on the subject, but would that mess with applications needing to access the dbus service, like gmusicbrowser or such?21:41
ali1234yes, but volume control should work21:41
pleia2hehe21:41
Unit193Yey, not stupidz. \o/21:41
brainwashbut why would they even care about gtk2 "legacy" stuff?21:43
ali1234it wasn't legacy until after it was replaced21:43
Unit193I mean, it's not like they use it, why would anyone else?21:43
ali1234we can't really complain21:44
ali1234i mean even xubuntu is not going to use that in next release21:45
ali1234if "they" are going to fix something i would rather it was #120388821:47
ali1234or #107431421:47
Unit193Stinks for LXDE, but not our problem at least.21:47

Unit193Hah, nice.21:48
Unit193ali1234: Not in 14.04, iirc.21:48
ali1234yes, but they do depreciate things21:49
ali1234i bet the released version isn't getting much love right now21:49
ali1234i wonder, is it even possible to use indicators in a Qt desktop?21:50
ali1234it must e if unity switches21:51
ali1234but i don't see how21:51
ali1234unless they also rewrite all indicators as Qt at the same time21:51
pleia2what are we telling folks re: sound indicator? is there a bug report w/ work arounds?22:28

bluesabrework around at comment 2722:30
skellatpleia2: It is in the release notes as a known issue.  I'm not aware of a valid workaround.22:30
pleia2skellat: I know22:31
pleia2I gave someone on facebook a link to the release notes, now he wants a work around ;)22:31
pleia2was just wondering what the party line is, I'll advise waiting for a patch22:31
bluesabredo we know if anybody is interested in actually fixing it in the indicator-sound package?22:32
pleia2I hear bluesabre wants to22:32
bluesabreI heard that too22:32
bluesabremust be a rumor22:33
pleia2:)22:33
skellatbluesabre: Have we tested that workaround as being arch:any since it refers to amd64 only?  My netbook is still only 32-bit, for example...22:33
Unit193Editing the file will get overwritten on package updates, but has the exact same upside, if we update to GTK3 it will too.22:34
bluesabreskellat: that work around obiously needs a slight tweak for 32-bit22:34
bluesabrethe gtk3 update would be a wonderful solution22:35
skellatWhat will SRU plus backports landing take in the time we've got before T opens?22:36
* skellat shuffles off to the kitchen22:40
Unit193BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE FOOD IS!!22:40
Unit193/Sorry.22:40
pleia2:)22:41
brainwashlike expected, people are complaining about the release :(22:54
Unit193Not where I'm looking, but isn't that to be expected?22:55
brainwashit goes like this "That kind of bugs should really prevent a distribution from being released..."22:56
Unit193Hah, yes.  The minor glitches shouldn't be there, hold the release!22:57
Unit193(Don't get me wrong, I do kind of like the Debian style, but also does drive you nuts at times.)22:57
brainwashbut I'm curious, does Canonical not allow rescheduling the final release?22:59
Unit193/topic Next focus: Tenacious Tribbles23:02
brainwashand launchpad gets flooded by failed upgrade reports =S23:05
brainwashmaybe that's business as usual :D23:06
