bluesabreI think I should choose a different wallpaper though, the xubuntu one does not have contrast in the corner02:36
leif_greetings03:27
ochosibluesabre: that's looking quite good already07:14
ochosii'm travelling the whole day today, can update docs.xfce tomorrow or so07:14

knomeerr, .at09:43
ochosiknome: currently on the train back to .it09:44
knomecool09:44
ochosiwas quite a ride, those few days09:44
knomelet's hope you have some mail waiting for you09:44
knomecan only imagine09:44
ochosiindeed :)09:44
knomeyou have any plans to visit rome at some point?09:46
ochosiknome: i didn't get to do anything 'bout whiskermenu10:01
knomemhm10:02
knomenp10:02
ochosiand i'm not sure my connection here is stable enough10:02
ochosii can probably take care of it soon, when was the deadline?10:02
knomefor what?10:02
knome5 hours :P10:02
ochosifor the spec10:02
knomeif you miss that...10:02
knomesometime later10:02
ochosiit shouldn't be too hard10:03
knomei mean, meh10:03
knomewe probably aren't going to make a *final* decision about it today anyway10:03
knomebut it would be good to approve the general direction of where that discussion is going, or if it's not going10:03
ochosiknome: ok, just started something here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Trusty/Whiskermenu10:05
knomeokay, cheers10:06
knomethat was quick10:06
ochosiknome: ok, updated10:09
ochosithat might be all that's needed10:10
ochosicouldn't upload own screenshots, so i linked to the ones from the dev-site10:10
ochosiit *really* looks like that though, so i guess that's fine10:10
knomethat's fine... i suppose10:10
ochosi(uploading screenshots is over my bandwidth in the train)10:10
knomewe should do some "real" proposals later10:10
ochosiyeah, but this should be enough to do a first assessment10:11
ochosiand get ppl to test it10:11
ochosisince there's a PPA10:11
ochosibbl10:12
ochosi(or tomorrow, depending on the connectivity)10:12
knomesure10:13
knomeand thanks10:13
knomebleh, there is a slight chance i won't make the meeting (in time)10:51
knomein that case, just go ahead and discuss the roadmap and approve items as you see fit (i will veto if i have to, but i'm pretty much fine with anything on the list as long as people are willing to take the work items from specs they approve)10:52
knomethe only things that i'm not sure about are the things in "new ideas" (i need more information about those to decide myself)10:53
knomeit's highly likely i will make the meeting anyway, though (and, we should move that to 16UTC now that we aren't on DST)10:53
ochosii wont be able to make it10:54
ochosino mobile internet in .it for me...10:54
knomeyeah10:55
knomelet's see how it goes10:55
ochosiyup, good luck with it10:55
knomeheh.10:57
knomei'm off to see an apartment10:57
knomesee ya!10:57
pleia2enjoy10:58
slickymasterknome: that make two of us11:03
slickymastersearching11:04
bluesabreNoskcaj, probably in a few weeks, and I will include a manpage with it.11:28
slickymasterbluesabre: just FYI, the translation to Portuguese of https://launchpad.net/catfish-search is done11:52
bluesabreawesome slickymaster!11:53
bluesabreIt was a really good thing that I got catfish moved to launchpad.  I think we started with 5 translated languages two years ago.11:54
slickymasterbluesabre: there are now 8 completely translated languages11:55
bluesabreI should do another call for translations to get the others complete again11:55
slickymasteryes, that might be a good idea11:56

knomewho has had time to go through?15:03
skellato/15:03
knomeskellat, +1 or -1, or need changes to be either?15:04
skellatI would want to loosen up the interpreted languages bit to allow for use of Python-based tools as well as to adjust the C++ portion to reflect that Firefox is coded in that15:05
skellatThe only strictly C browser I can think of at this point is Dillo and that is a suboptimal choice for users15:06
knomesince that portion isn't what we have changed now, would you be happy to approve changes and then start a review for the technical bits?15:06
skellatYes15:06
knomeokay, good15:06
knomei'm mostly interested if people in the -team (GridCube included) are happy with the proposed *changes*15:07
knomei know we probably need to go through more of the technical side as well15:07
knome(or eventually strip some of that off to procedures)15:07
skellatThe changes overall seem fairly minor so +115:07
knomei think it would benefit us all though if we got the first batch of changes in ASAP15:08
knomeskellat, except voting for XPL. otherwise we just dropped stuff.15:08
knome(to wiki/Xubuntu/Processes, to make them more flexible)15:08
GridCube:) i don't mind them, i find that they simplify the work15:08
skellatWe've previous discussed XPL voting and I have no objections to the change15:08
knomeokay15:08

elfy@team - that's where our ubiquity tests will be apparently :)18:14
meetingologyelfy: Error: "team" is not a valid command.18:14
elfyoh behave 18:14
slickymasterelfy: but that's only for the Autopilot tests, right?18:17
slickymasternot the package ones?18:18
elfyyep - image testing slickymaster 18:18
slickymasterok, thanks for the heads up elfy 18:19
elfypackages will be the same as last cycle - though I suspect I'm going to talk about changing my mind and pushing for constant testing of packages when people can do it18:19
elfyotherwise people see that we did, for example 2/2 - I'd rather see 100/2 :)18:20
slickymasterelfy: that might be a good idea as I feel that last cycle there wasn't very much done with those18:20
elfyit was new and a first for us - so 100% improvement :D18:20
slickymasterelfy: from that point of view, yes18:21
Unit193skellat: While not yet in repo, xombrero is C.18:24
Unit193brainwash: Poked kirkland, and got  New binary: screen [amd64] (trusty-proposed/main) [4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-9] (ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-server)   \o/18:30
Unit193Got the update manager update today, with the restart fix from brain.18:50
brainwashUnit193: hooray19:07
Unit193Yeah, I can stop rebuilding from Debian for each release. :D19:08
elfyI forgot that hadn't released yet 19:08
brainwashUnit193: do you have to rebuild the debian package?19:09
Unit193brainwash: I'd think not, but I did anyway to make sure libc and all were happy.19:10
brainwashah ok, I simply used the debian one19:10
brainwashand I'll try to upgrade my test machine to trusty, it did fail yesterday due to some connectivity issue I think19:12
Unit193Yeah, some things I install, but generally rebuild so I can put it in my repo and pull to all computers.  Basic things I may just take and use, things like cryptsetup I rebuild. (That last one is from Trusty though.)19:13
brainwashit appears to me, that one does not fix issues in saucy anymore, fixes only get backported to saucy from trusty19:13
brainwashso I'll focus on trusty from now on19:14
brainwashyeah, I intend to rebuild some packages too for personal use19:14
* elfy will be running trusty full on - until I get mad breakage from next week19:14
brainwashhopefully I'll be able to upgrade my test system without any major breakage, it's the bloated system with every DE installed and tons of applications19:16
Unit193brainwash: Oh, and you're watching Mir more than I am, right?19:16
Unit193Mind giving a ping when anything interesting, or fixes land?19:16
brainwashUnit193: not atm, I lost faith in the development of (x)mir19:17
Unit193Ah, oh well.19:17
brainwashwon't test it again until some known bugs actually get fixed19:18
Unit193Yeah, I'm sure we aren't going for it in Trusty, but I may rebuild the images at some point for it.19:19
brainwashyeah, making it easier for people to test xmir is a great idea19:19
brainwashit could be even included by default, but not activated19:22
brainwashstill not sure about bug 123280419:26
ubottubug 1232804 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "Improve "login greeter -> desktop" transition in Xubuntu" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123280419:26
brainwashit affects 3 packages19:26
brainwashand the change to xfdesktop (window manager check before launch) would need to be committed upstream I assume19:27
brainwashmaybe ochosi knows how to handle it best19:28
brainwashand the question remains, if this change/improvement is valid or not worth the time and resources19:30
Unit193brainwash: Heh, I really was just looking to make it easy for myself, because there was no way at the time I was going to install saucy, then xmir. :P19:53
brainwashUnit193: but still, xmir is just xmir, nothing to be excited about20:22
Unit193Yep.20:22
Unit193(I never was.)20:22
brainwashand there are not plans to actually use the real deal -> mir20:22
brainwash:P20:22
Unit193...Or the real one, Wayland. :/20:23
brainwashoh yea, both display servers are still unpolished and broken somewhat20:24
brainwashdid anyone already start working on wayland support for Xfce?20:25
Unit193Hah, nope.  They're still slowly moving to GTK3 still.20:26
brainwashI know that this would require (full?) GTK3 support20:26
slickymastergood night all21:56
Unit193Howdy.21:58
slickymasterhi, Unit19321:58
KazanskyAnyone have experience with Glade?23:35
ali1234a little bit; but it was not a good experience23:37
KazanskyI'm doing okay with it, it's much easier than writing the UI manually, I just have one question that I was hoping someone might be able to help with. Is there a way to pass a structure as user data to a widget? At the moment when I click user data is wants me to select "an object to pass the the handler". I don't want to pass an object, I want to pass a structure that I made in the source file.23:40
ali1234well, check the gtk docs i guess23:40
KazanskyI was hoping I could just put the name of it in there and have it put it in itself instead of hooking up the signals myself which works but it'd be easier if it could do it.23:40
ali1234user data is typically a void pointer when you're doing things by hand, at least it is in other toolkits23:41
ali1234or if not void pointer, some typedef of it23:41
KazanskyIt is a void pointer.23:41
ali1234you should be able to put any type of pointer you want in it then23:41
ali1234whether glade will actually let you or not is another question23:42
KazanskyI can it's just Glade doesn't have the option for me to put it in there, I can write it myself no problem. I'll look around some more.23:42
ali1234you can always write a little bit of code by hand to stuff the data in manually23:42
KazanskyI can and probably will lol23:43
ali1234there is this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17967997/gtk-pass-user-data-to-callback-using-glade23:43
ali1234i don't know if the answer is any use or not23:43
KazanskyThat's exactly what I'm doing now.23:44
Kazansky>And thus stop using glade in order to configure the user data that is passed to a specific callback.23:44
KazanskyGuess I'm outta luck.23:44
ali1234http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6165943/cant-pass-user-data-in-callback-using-glade seems to suggest it's not possible using only glade23:45
KazanskyIt seems like that, I was just wondering if anyone had found out otherwise, thanks ali1234.23:47
ali1234yeah, looks like a common problem, and i'm not seeing any easy answers, so it' probably not possible23:47
