[13:20] I don't want to blame anyone, just want to understand why something like this can take so long [13:21] so maybe I myself can help to speed up things [13:21] well, he has to approve it and merge it, but yeah, minimal effort required for that [15:15] meeting in 45 mins.

[16:29] yup, thanks for the reminder [16:29] well it was on the agenda! :) [16:29] sorry for being late guys [16:29] i've worked with peter to improve light-locker feature-wise so it'll be a real replacement for xscreensaver [16:29] skellat, no problem :) [16:29] \o/ [16:29] awesome [16:29] slickymaster, ^ [16:30] #info version 1.1.0 of light-locker features time-based locking [16:30] brb door [16:30] oh, i forgot to say hi. [16:30] hey ted__, welcome! [16:30] hi, eveyone. [16:30] :) hi [16:30] #info ochosi also patched lightdm-gtk-greeter to blank the screen when light-locker locks the session [16:30] ted__: hi, welcome [16:31] so that basically means what we'll have in 14.04 is light-locker, which blanks the screen after the timeout set by X11's screensaver extension (that's installed anyway) [16:31] hopefully we can provide some simple UI to control that [16:31] back [16:31] or even better: integrate it into the power-manager UI [16:31] ochosi, let elfy know what kind of testing you need for it [16:31] #info for people who want to test this: use the daily PPAs of light-locker and lightdm-gtk-greeter [16:32] https://launchpad.net/~light-locker/+archive/daily [16:32] #info everyone - please give enough time to plan testing [16:32] https://launchpad.net/~lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/+archive/daily [16:32] ochosi, that's "how", also remember to tell "what" :) [16:33] #info after upgrading these two components, the screen will automatically be locked after the timeout set in X11 (can be controlled via "xset s $timeout") [16:33] #info if you need help or run into problems, feel free to ping ochosi [16:33] (be sure to remove xscreensaver first) [16:33] #info uninstall xscreensaver in case you want to test this [16:33] thanks bluesabre, might've forgotten to mention that :) [16:34] ok, cool [16:34] knome: ok, that's it [16:34] #topic Team updates [16:34] questions?

[16:47] i don't believe so. [16:47] also, thats just an example, other areas also lag very much on low ram settings [16:47] by that reasoning xubuntu ram requirement should be like 256MB still [16:47] if a user is able to run several other applications (like abiword+gnumeric) well with 512MB, isn't it a fair thing that minimum required is 512 [16:48] yes, they could, but it should not be the minimum recommended [16:48] my thinking is we should set our's using the same rationale for setting it as other's do - or we'll end up looking like we need more than Ubuntu [16:48] i think this discussion revolves more about what "minimum requirement" means to us... [16:48] minimum should be whatever is required to boot the live cd [16:48] yeah, i somewhat agree with bluesabre on that one [16:48] everything else can go to swap once installed :) [16:48] you *can* use xubuntu with 512MB [16:48] ppl can always launch crazy huge slow java apps [16:49] yes, you can. that is true. but as i propose it the "recommended to have a pleasant experience" [16:49] or do heavy graphics editing with GIMP [16:49] (which is installed by default) [16:49] you can use the apps, if you have patience [16:50] * knome checks the wording on the website [16:50] how about a minimum and a better guide for 'this is more pleasant' type thing [16:50] ok, the website says [16:50] "Minimum system requirements" [16:50] in addition, we could have "Recommended system resources" [16:50] yes :) [16:50] for that, 1GB sounds like a good fit [16:51] I'd go for that [16:51] i agree [16:51] #action team to set "recommended system resources" in stone [16:51] ACTION: team to set "recommended system resources" in stone [16:51] haha [16:52] #action xubuntu-website to update website with "recommended system resources" [16:52] ACTION: xubuntu-website to update website with "recommended system resources" [16:52] GridCube, well, we need to consider disk space as well [16:52] GridCube, would you like to send an email on that to the ML? [16:52] sure [16:52] I promise to reply to it ;) [16:52] GridCube, just a quick one would do, to gather comments and then vote on the next meeting [16:52] P: [16:52] alright [16:52] (and if no comments have been sent... then just vote) [16:53] #nick Unit193 [16:53] #info Unit193 is hiding [16:53] #action Unit193 to stop hiding [16:53] ACTION: Unit193 to stop hiding [16:53] Nothin' to say. [16:53] lol [16:53] well what about the -core thingy? [16:53] then use #lurk, right? [16:53] bluesabre, that's for the bot [16:54] bluesabre, ...oh wait, Unit193 is a bot [16:54] :| [16:54] see! [16:54] Unit193, want to discuss that already? [16:54] ochosi, i was trying to test it earlier today, but it was broken but he just PM'd me he fixed it. [16:54] I wanted coffee, but fine. [16:54] #subtopic xubuntu-core discussion [16:54] knome: Should be fixed for amd64, but let me try it. [16:56] Unit193, works noe [16:56] *now too [16:56] gets 94.6MB, installed size 290MB [16:56] (with --no-install-recommends) [16:56] Heh, sorry 'bout that. That was elfy's problem too, then. [16:56] installing [16:57] so what'd be the total iso size for xubuntu-core? [16:57] iso size? [16:57] Alright, so it's made to be installed via apt-get install --no-install-recommends, though could be done with tasksel which would then bring in recommends of the meta without (or hopefully without) all the crazy extras. [16:58] I know a couple of forum people that would be interested in testing it, if and when it's needed. [16:58] Unit193, what's pending to get it to tasksel? [16:58] knome: well i know that we kinda ruled out a separate iso for -core for 14.04, but in general it'd be interesting to know [16:58] knome: Well, another review of the seed and the recommends, it can't be tested without actually being merged though. [16:59] or: complete installed size [16:59] Right now a merge proposal would probably be needed against the seed to add the separate seed file [16:59] Unit193, oki [16:59] skellat, ack [16:59] I'd like to try and keep things in deps, so it can be installed either way. [16:59] Unit193, since the team showed green light to it... can we progress with that stuff? :) [17:00] But, you could put the fonts (liberation) in recommends and/or indicators too. [17:00] knome: I suppose? [17:00] ok, cool [17:01] #action team to work with Unit193 to progress with the -core meta [17:01] ACTION: team to work with Unit193 to progress with the -core meta [17:01] more subjects to discuss? [17:02] skellat, what are the next steps on the SRU docs problem? [17:02] #action knome to look into the docs SRU problem [17:02] ACTION: knome to look into the docs SRU problem [17:02] will the gtk3 indicators issue be fixed for 14.04? [17:02] looks like what ochosi said is true [17:02] GridCube: it's on the roadmap [17:02] GridCube, that's the plan [17:02] alright [17:02] i can't remember anything else now [17:03] ok folks, gotta take off, feel free to ping me if there are any more questions [17:03] elfy: ah right, you wanted to talk something over before? [17:04] ochosi: it can wait - no hurry [17:04] well not much of a hurry anyway :) [17:04] what did you want to know, thoguh? [17:04] though [17:04] Unit193, we will need different menu/panel stuff for -core [17:04] knome: Oh? [17:05] ochosi: was just - what things will you want testing, what install info is there - if I have that then I can push the testing [17:05] knome: can't it use the stuff from the xfce session? [17:05] knome: Ah, you mean the missing icons, not really a huge deal to me. [17:05] ochosi: the ppa links earlier [17:05] elfy: well for light-locker i think i mentioned most [17:05] ok [17:05] Unit193, that, and the apps menu is a bit off (two separators on top of each other) [17:05] knome: USC. [17:06] Unit193, i know [17:06] elfy: if you have more questions there, lemme know [17:06] elfy: in fact, light-locker is easy to use, but it doesn't autostart until you restarted your session [17:06] okay, so [17:06] #endmeeting [17:06] Meeting ended Thu Nov 14 17:06:48 2013 UTC. [17:06] Minutes (wiki): http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2013/xubuntu-devel.2013-11-14-15.55.moin.txt [17:06] Minutes (html): http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2013/xubuntu-devel.2013-11-14-15.55.html [17:06] knome: Kind of made sense to me to leave them as it'd add more work and in the long run more things to maintain, and pretty simple fix after the install. [17:06] ochosi: I'll look through the meeting logs and see what I need and get to you [17:06] Unit193, yep, but we probably should polish it [17:07] we didnt choose a next meeting day [17:07] elfy: if you wanna test locking and the process is already running (if it's not, just do alt+f2 "light-locker"), you can lock manually with "light-locker-command -l" [17:07] Heh, I know I do. :P [17:07] GridCube, oh bleh [17:07] knome: I've just found another bug in xubuntu-docs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/+bug/1251332 I've assigned myself to it, but a decision has to be made on what approach will be used as a replacement for gksudo [17:07] Ubuntu bug 1251332 in xubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) "Use of gksudo in Chapter 7. Printing and Scanning" [Undecided,New] [17:07] next meeting in a week. :) [17:07] :) [17:07] ok folks, bbl [17:08] i'll go and put up the minutes now [17:08] then the roadmap [17:08] then i'll probably take a break [17:08] and after that, create the blueprints and such [17:08] then take another break [17:08] heh [17:08] probably... [17:08] knome: ^^^ did you saw what I said? [17:09] slickymaster, yep, ack [17:09] (Yep, core worked for me now as well.) [17:09] slickymaster, commented [17:09] knome: I?ll fix it but there's the need for that decision [17:10] ok [17:11] knome: ok, I'm on it [17:11] lderan, btw, the voting results seem to appear in reverse order :) [17:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/ is updated [17:38] thanks knome [17:50] elfy: I haven't done it yet, so I'm doing it now, congrats on elections to the CC [17:51] thanks slickymaster :) [17:56] Thu Nov 21 16:00:00 UTC 2013 Should be the next meeting. [17:57] New event added: http://goo.gl/7cBEpa [18:01] knome: Here's a thought, mini.iso doesn't do EFI does it? [18:07] Oh, it does secure boot, I'll shutup. [18:08] knome, ping [18:08] GridCube, pong [18:08] Unit193, have no idea [18:08] ​​ [18:08] It has come to our attention that the current recommende amount of ram in our website might not be up to date.[1] Even if its true that Xubuntu *will* run with this specfications the user experience will not conform to the expected standard. [18:08] Many users move to Xubuntu from older computers to try to "revitalize" them. We from Xubuntu should warn them that yes, the system will work, that they will be able to use the programs that we provide on our default installation, however this wont be the most seamless of experiences. As Xubuntu is not targeted toward this older systems some of us believe that is important to warn our prospected users about this reality. [18:08] As we know that many of you deploy xubuntu in regular basis we ask for you to provide us a realistic Minimum and Recommended setup. [18:08] This means, how much RAM and Hard Disk space you would recommend to new users? If someone came asking if their computer would support Xubuntu, whats the setting you would tell them, that "no, a different distribution will better suit you"? [18:08] ​[1] http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/​ [18:08] -- [18:08] Bruno.- [18:08] noooo [18:08] well [18:08] :D [18:08] * GridCube is ashamed [18:09] i wanted that to a private message [18:09] I can't see a thing [18:10] "that they will be able to use the programs that we provide on our default installation" Firefox and USC? I'd question those for less than 1G. :) [18:10] wait what, xubuntu does not work with 512mb ram anymore? [18:10] yes it does [18:10] >___< [18:10] frell [18:11] ok, i can't think straight any more [18:11] i need a break [18:11] bbl [18:11] GridCube, will get to that then. [18:12] sorry, :( [18:12] http://pad.ubuntu.com/ciuVqx8257 [18:12] here, better [18:12] someone review it so i dont make a fool of myself [18:13] knome: And yes, I asked too soon. [18:13] ochosi: yeah, I did add the comment to the greybird report so you get pinged via email and comment on the report as well :P [18:14] GridCube: is this the mail to the dev list? [18:14] yes [18:14] ochosi: now that the fix has been committed (git) [18:14] i dont want to send it before someone review it, because i usually missword things [18:14] GridCube: I'll have a look - but I doubt you'll be making a foo of yourself :) [18:15] bbl [18:15] cya [18:32] GridCube: how does that look? does it say what you mean it to say? [18:35] elfy, :) i added a few things but it seems pretty well [18:36] cool - just did a little thing to it :) [18:37] scans ok to me [18:37] uh... not trying to be mean but do either of you guys have english as a first language? [18:37] not me [18:37] I do - but I have a headache as well :) [18:38] thats why i ask before sending [18:40] ali1234: change things - that's what a pad's for :) [18:40] i.. i don't know where to start [18:40] ali1234: you know what this is for? [18:40] you just want to ask people how much memory tey think xubuntu needs? [18:41] i was here for the meeting [18:41] basically [18:41] oh ok - didn't see you :) [18:42] elfy: He wasn't called out. [18:42] this is a little bit... wordy [18:42] ali1234, if you feel it needs to be completely rewriten im ok with that [18:43] run-on sentences, and so on [18:49] i think you're largely going to get two kinds of answers to this [18:49] 1: "i don't recommend anything less than 64-bit/4GB" and [18:49] 2: "it runs fine for me in 8MB on my 386" [18:58] ali1234, yeah, well we have to live with that [18:59] thats why i added the "realistic" point [19:02] 1G min usable min, IMO. :P [19:03] i don't like this phrase "seamless experience" [19:11] yes [19:11] change it [19:12] did anything change since.. uhm, ubuntu 11.10? why is more RAM needed now? [19:13] i can't think of anything better unfortunately [19:13] brainwash: the problem is mainly internet stuff [19:14] webpages got fatter in the last two years [19:14] And kernel/Ubuntu core. [19:16] yea, maybe [19:21] brainwash, web browsers [19:21] they changed a whole freaking lot [19:22] firefox was always bloated [19:23] Used to be less.s [19:23] didn't the mozilla reduce the memory usage? [19:23] not that i've noticed [19:23] Yep. [19:23] they did, but webpages got more complicated too, it balanced out [19:23] yesterday just two tabs of the ubuntu wiki used 360MiB [19:23] Flash all the things! :P [19:23] I guess the main issue is, that most people open several tabs [19:24] i have 1.3GB in use and i only rebooted today [19:24] it will be up to 6-7GB in a couple of days when i start opening things [19:25] -/+ buffers/cache: 1312 after 6 hours [19:25] cache goes a long way to making the system usable too [19:26] yep [19:26] especially if you don't have a SSD [19:27] and if you open a video in youtube you are lost [19:29] http://www.youtube.com/feather_beta helps a lot [20:15] knome: could you check the wallpaper-call one last time? [20:16] i just added small details about the license [20:16] or if you were content with it before, then i guess you'll still be happy with it (i didn't add any extra dashes ;)) [20:16] i'd just like to send this out before i leave for the weekend [20:16] just do it, it'll be okay [20:30] knome: i think it'd be cool if there were a blog post summarizing our plans for 14.04 [20:31] ochosi, i know [20:31] it would also be cool if i had the blueprints already organized ;) [20:32] ochosi: So that everyone can see what fell through? ;) [20:33] ochosi, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-artwork [20:33] pleia2, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-community [20:33] jjfrv8, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-docs [20:33] bluesabre, ochosi, mr_pouit, micahg: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-features [20:33] pleia2, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-marketing [20:34] elfy, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-qa [20:35] over here instead [20:35] busy cycle [20:35] better get started :) [20:35] knome: thanks for doing all the boring blueprint work! [20:36] it's much appreciated [20:36] * ochosi will try to keep his up-to-date better this cycle [20:36] btw knome, I noticed that we have some outdated, and perhaps unofficial, mugs: http://www.zazzle.com/xubuntu_coffee_mugs-168821292867452141 [20:36] I'd like a fancy new mug :) [20:36] pleia2 ^ [20:37] that'd be nice [20:38] bluesabre: Too small. :P} [20:41] I have to admit that I love all the sticker/button options on unixstickers, that was an awesome choice [20:45] :) [20:47] ochosi, no problem, but please extend as needed, the works items are hardly final [20:49] knome: ok, hit the publish-button [20:51] tweeted [20:51] also, https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/401089760774467585 [20:53] nice, thanks [20:53] i g+'d it [20:53] maybe someone will fb it [20:54] fb the wallpaper stuff? [20:54] yeah [20:54] knome: well done! (also the roadmap page) [20:54] I'm going to plagiarize you ;) [20:56] hehe [20:56] good good [20:56] i also dropped a hint to webupd8 [20:56] because they had a "what to expect of 14.04" feature today [20:56] and mentioned that there's no news from us yet [20:57] oh, maybe I should just let pleia2 do it [20:58] bluesabre, bah! [20:58] bluesabre, just do it. we want to spread the burden [20:58] it doesn't need to be exactly like the same every time [20:58] done [20:59] knome: thanks [20:59] btw, anyone know about linking stuff to facebook a lot? [20:59] i could use some insight on that [21:00] such as ..? [21:00] i'll pm you quickly [21:10] bluesabre: bug 1251431 [21:10] bug 1251431 in LightDM GTK+ Greeter "user background gets painted over background specified in config file" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1251431 [21:11] ^ part of my vision of the flickerfree "greeter -> desktop" transition [21:18] :) [21:19] still working on bug 1232804 [21:19] bug 1232804 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "Improve "login greeter -> desktop" transition in Xubuntu" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1232804 [21:21] brainwash: hopefully we can improve this for 14.04 [21:22] did you get a chance yet to test the greeter's blanking on another machine? [21:23] let me test it on this one here, just need to grab the latest versions of greeter + locker [21:24] this one is intel based [21:26] cool [21:26] anyway, i gotta read the backlog cause i'm off til monday [21:26] seeya! [21:29] ochosi: bye [21:30] ochosi: switching looks ok without the latest greeter version (your commits) [21:33] ochosi: bad news, it got worse [21:34] it was ok before [21:36] brainwash: ? [21:36] ochosi: it blanks the screen completely (black) before displaying the greeter [21:36] yeah [21:36] that's the idea [21:37] it does not look like an improvement [21:37] :( [21:37] it blanks the screen so to act more like a screensaver [21:37] and why do I lose my kb shortcuts after switching back to my desktop? [21:38] no clue [21:38] regardless of the greeter version [21:38] sounds unrelated though [21:38] anyway, i'm really off now [21:38] really? :P [21:38] ochosi: bye bye [21:41] ochosi: my result: the black screen adds another "layer" and switching seems to be slightly slower [23:18] i'm ok with the etherpad at the moment [23:18] is ok for me to send it to the mailing list?
