lderangood morning slickymaster 09:58
slickymasterlderan :) and a good one to you, too09:59

=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
brainwashlooks like xscreensaver has been already replaced, is this correct?12:33
brainwashjust started the upgrade process on my test system (-> trusty)12:34
ochosibrainwash: i wouldn't know anything about that, i'd be surprised tbh13:25
ochosilight-locker is uploaded to trusty, but i don't think anyone has done changes to our seeds yet13:26
brainwashochosi: xscreensaver got removed during the upgrade process13:26
ochosiinteresting13:26
brainwashwell, not yet, still downloading the new packages with my slow connection13:26
brainwashbut it's marked to get removed13:27
brainwashochosi: do think that it's necessary to commit the xfdesktop wm-check fix upstream? it would be a port of the xfce4-panel wm-check13:30
ochosiwhat xfce4-panel wm-check again?13:31
ochosi(sorry, it's been a while and i'm a bit off-track with this issue)13:32
brainwashhttp://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?h=eric/Port-to-GApplication&id=f8204f77cf48452b7021ee707369f6b69f32292813:32
brainwashwait a minute13:33
brainwashstupid me13:33
brainwashit's already done13:33
ochosirighty13:35
brainwashok, so I'll need to test this implementation and check, if it works for our case13:35
ochosithat'd be great13:35
brainwashif the delay is big enough13:35
ochosiand then i can see what we can do about lightdm-gtk-greeter13:35
ochosifwiw, i'll also try to add a feature to the greeter that'll reduce the flickering when switching VTs13:36
ochosi(force the X11 screensaver to blank the screen)13:36
brainwashright, 1) set the xwindow property (my patch) and avoid setting the background twice (config one and then user one)13:36
ochosiso i hope that this way the screen will blank, flicker and then remain blank13:36
brainwashsounds interesting13:36
ochosithis would also help with light-locker's timed locking13:37
ochosiso it'd feel more like a real replacement for a screensaver13:38
brainwash2014, the year of the flicker-free xubuntu desktop :)13:39
ochosii'm sometimes thinking about letting plymouth fade-in and fade-out13:39
ochosi(or at least fade-in when it starts)13:39
brainwashand fade-out13:40
ochosithat'd make it feel a little smoother13:40
brainwashis that even possible?13:41
ochosii dunno13:41
ochosifade-in might be13:41
ochosinot sure about fade-out (at least without adding a useless timeout which makes the boot-time longer)13:41
ochosibut please let me know how the greeter-stuff goes for you13:42
ochosii won't have time to work on this before next week (the earliest), still many other things to do (parole, light-locker)13:42
brainwashyeah, already upgrading to trusty to get started13:43
brainwashmaybe you should add a new entry to the xubuntu trusty agenda -> screen flicker elimination13:44
ochosicool13:44
ochosiyeah, do that13:44
brainwashok13:46
ochosibetter to keep track of this issue13:48
ochosibrainwash: you could also write a separate spec-page on the xubuntu wiki and describe where the flickering happens and then how it can be dealt with14:02
ochosithat'll help others to understand the issue more easily (and you won't have to explain it all the time), and we can keep track of the status14:02
brainwashochosi: yes, I'll put it on my todo list, some test packages (PPA) are planned too14:05
ochosinice14:05
jjfrv8skellat, knome, I did the SRU docs update on two machines. It didn't break anything but there are two aesthetic anomalies I wanted to run by you.14:23
jjfrv8the initial 'About' page doesn't look so pretty: http://imagebin.org/27619514:24
jjfrv8and the 'Index' page doesn't have the nice graphical header that it does in the local build: http://imagebin.org/27619714:25
jjfrv8the new installed version is on the bottom in that second screenshot14:26
jjfrv8so are both of those things to be expected?14:26
ochosione looks like missing css14:27
ochosithe other like a missing image14:27
ochosi(at least that header reads like an alt-text)14:27
jjfrv8ochosi, so does that mean there's something missing in the -proposed package?14:29
ochosii would assume so14:30
jjfrv8ugh14:30
ochosibut it's really up to knome and skellat to judge, i wasn't involved at all in the offline-docs14:30
ochosibluesabre: i copied your plugins-page to docs.xfce.org, lemme know if you update it again (you mentioned something about the wallpaper, to me the screeners look fine)14:34
jjfrv8ochosi, I hope to get the DVD menu section done tonight or tomorrow.14:35
ochosijjfrv8: great! i think that's the last missing piece, right?14:35
jjfrv8lemme check to see if slickymaster got the Video section done yet.14:36
ochosiah right14:36
ochosithat one's missing too14:36
jjfrv8yeah14:36
ochosiwell nvm, you two really have been extremely productive – really nice job!14:36
jjfrv8thanks14:37
ochosiwell thank *you* ;)14:37
jjfrv8ochosi, and one other small item we need to work in somewhere, the right-click menu in the playback window14:39
ochosioh right14:40
ochosigood call remembering that one14:40
ochosimaybe before or after the kb-shortcuts14:40
jjfrv8k14:40
jjfrv8skellat, knome, just so's you know, the steps I took to do the update were...14:41
jjfrv8enabled pre-released updates (precise-proposed) in USC...14:41
jjfrv8ran 'sudo apt-get update'.14:42
jjfrv8ran 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-docs/precise-released'14:42
jjfrv8whoops, I meant 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-docs/precise-proposed'14:44
jjfrv8bbiab14:45
knomehmph, yeah, seems like missing stuff14:47
knomejjfrv8, i'll get to your email soonish, my internet has been down all day today14:47
ochosimeh, that's not nice... http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/11/08/1335231/canonical-targets-ubuntu-privacy-critic14:58
knomenot surprising14:59
ochosiyeah, but also "not nice"15:00
knomesure15:00
slickymasterjjfrv8, ochosi, I'm planning on the Video section done tonight or tomorrow the latest15:10
slickymaster^^ on having, that is15:10
ochosislickymaster: sweet!15:10
ochosiprobably won't be around for a good part of the weekend15:11
ochosihave friends visiting15:11
slickymasterochosi: np15:11
ochosibut on sunday evening or monday i can sync everything again15:11
slickymasterochosi: ny the way, you mentioned the other day that you probably will need some further help with docs.xfce.org, you can count on me15:12
ochosislickymaster: that's really great!15:12
ochosii mean xubuntu will obviously also benefit from that15:12
ochosiso it's twice as cool :)15:12
slickymasterochosi: it will be a pleasure, to both help xubuntu and xfce15:13
jjfrv8knome, no worries on the e-mail15:14
slickymasterjjfrv8, ochosi, one thing I noticed that I missed on the Media menu is the Insert disk/Play disk option, I'll do it also15:15
GridCubei think they didnt even checkwht the site was about ochosi, they just saw it said "ubuntu" in the url and sent a generic email15:15
ochosiGridCube: yeah, that doesn't make it a lot better unfortunately...15:16
GridCubei don't see why not, they saw someone not from canonical using an url that said "ubuntu" on it, they sent a letter asking them politely not to do so15:17
GridCubethey didn't said anything about the actual contents of the site, they never attacked the webpage owner free of speech in any way either15:18
jjfrv8ochosi, btw, I've been using Whisker Menu and like it a lot.15:22
jjfrv8it's especially nice on the test machines I set up because it's so quick and easy to set up favorites15:23
jjfrv8but I've also replaced alacarte with it on my Precise main machine.15:23
ochosinice15:23
ochosigood to hear that15:23
ochosii hope micahg can soon copy over the package from the dev's ppa to the xubuntu-dev PPA15:24
ochosiGridCube: to be frank i only read the slashdot summary ;)15:24
ochosibbl15:26
jjfrv8me too15:26
micahgochosi: can you send me an email with what needs to be moved?16:13
micahgor a PM?16:13
Unit193Think he wants a "backport" of Whisker. :P16:15
micahgoh, that's all, can do over the weekend16:16
micahgbeen a busy week16:16
Unit193It's stuck in new for Debian.16:16
Unit193http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin.html nevermind, was accepted recently.16:18
ochosimicahg: either sync it from debian if it's ready there or you can also take it from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~gottcode/+archive/gcppa17:40
ochosibut i can also send you an email with more details if needed17:40
Unit193ochosi: If nothing else, it should be in the xfce4 vcs.17:41
ochosiUnit193: vcs? you mean git?17:41
ochosigit.xfce.org?17:41
micahgit just cleared NEW, I"ll get it sync'd over the weekend17:44
micahgochosi: which releases did you want it for in the xubuntu PPA?17:44
micahgif the dependencies aren't complex we could do an official backport as well17:45
Unit193ochosi: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-xfce/goodies/trunk/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/17:45
ochosiideally yes, but i'll not take up communication for that17:46
ochosimicahg: v1.217:50
ochosiUnit193: ah, nice17:51
micahgoh, hum17:52
micahgok will have to look later17:52
ochosibbl17:53
Unit193micahg: Heya, still haven't had time for indicators?  Have them uploaded anywhere?18:04
micahgUnit193: afraid not, been working late all week, I should have a little time sat night, don't know if it'll be enough to finish, hopefully can at least get the panel up18:08
Unit193Cool, thanks for the update.18:09
brainwashochosi: the upgrade to trusty finally finished, now I have to clean up everything, because the system did run out of disk space during the upgrade :/18:10
brainwashochosi: and xscreensaver got marked as obsolete package18:21
slickymasterbluesabre, jjfrv8, ochosi, the Video section is done -> http://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=usage#video All that's needed now is your review and approval18:38
slickymasterbluesabre, jjfrv8, ochosi, also I've added the missing Insert disk/Play disk option in http://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=usage#play_media18:39
NoskcajAre we going to ship gthumb for 14.04?18:58
skellatjjfrv8: Please make sure to note what you found testing the SRU for 12.04 xubuntu-docs in the bug.  We might have to mark it verification-failed.19:12
jjfrv8skellat, I commented on the SRU docs bug but did not mark it verification-failed yet.20:10
