bluesabrebtw, any way we can get python 2 and 3 packages of pexpect-3.0 into debian?  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pexpect11:46

brainwashochosi: sound indicator is fine now12:03
ochosibrainwash: cool, good to hear13:00
ochosistrange, seems with the package from Noskcaj's PPA that race-condition of the sound-indicator not showing it's icon is back :/13:01
ochosibrainwash: it would be nice if you could write down the issues you found and we could discuss them at the meeting tomorrow (possibly at the wiki-page for gtk3-indicators for trusty)13:04
brainwashochosi: only the race condition is still present (invisible sound icon, missing sync icon, fallback nm-applet)13:09
ochosii see13:13
ochosistrange, it must be a build problem, because i didn't have this race condition with the version i compiled manually here13:14
ochosiprobably the libido3 dependency still doesn't work13:14

Noskcajbluesabre, Would you mind checking the three unfixed bugs at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=catfish ?20:23
ali1234Noskcaj: the indicator ppa works now20:56
Noskcajali1234, yay, i didn't break anything20:56
Unit193< ochosi> strange, seems with the package from Noskcaj's PPA that race-condition of the sound-indicator not showing it's icon is back :/20:57
Noskcajworks fine for me. Was that before i added libido-dev?20:57
ali1234unrelated20:58
Unit193Just had to point it out. :D21:00
Unit193Noskcaj: Since your libxfce4ui package wasn't much different from Mica's, I went ahead and copied it to here https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/xfce for the xfwm test (I don't like dupes, but easier than adding several repos)21:08
ochosiyeah, not sure why i have that race condition here :/21:09
ochosii'll reinstall everything21:09
ali1234what's the xfwm test?21:09
ochosiatm it's still a bit of a mix21:09
ochosibbl21:09
Unit193ali1234: Tabwin, themeable alt+tab, works best with a branch of greybird but functional otherwise as well.21:10
Noskcajthis would all be a lot easier if we bribed corsac to upload the xfce 4.11 stuff to experimental21:10
stefcchey Nosk xfce 4.11 is expected when approximately  =)21:20
Unit193If you're asking when Xfce 4.11 will be released, it is being somewhat slowly now, but those a development releases, 4.12 is the next actual release.21:24
Noskcajstefcc, Bits of 4.11 are out, it's not a proper release. We're waiting for debian to upload them, but they need more people to help with bug triage21:25
slickymastergood night all21:25
Unit193Howdy, slick. ;)21:26
slickymasterhi there, Unit19321:27
stefccthanks Nosk , good night slicky ;p 21:27
slickymasterUnit193, still no news on the Launchpad automatic translations front?21:28
slickymasterhi stefcc. night21:28
Unit193slickymaster: I have no idea.  I haven't seen any updates when pulling from bzr, but that's all I know.21:28
Unit193I'm English (and Gibberish) only, so translations aren't something I know much about.21:29
slickymasterUnit193, :P the reason I asked is because http://sigma.unit193.net/xubuntu/pt/ is still in the same state, translation wise21:30
Unit193Understandable.  I just checked: No revisions or tags to pull.21:32
slickymasterwe'll have to poke knome on the issue21:32
Unit193Yeah, since it says pt is 100%, and I can read a little bit of that? :P21:33

slickymasterNoskcaj, ping21:41
ochosiali1234: sorry i haven't been able to send you my panel-config yet, how do you want it, email, pastebin?21:45
ochosialso, have you included the xubuntu-default setup yet?21:45
ochosithat would be one more preset from my pov21:45
ali1234i don't have a system with the default setup21:45
ali1234first thing i do is delete it21:45
ochosi:)21:46
ochosiwell, it's still on launchpad21:46
ochosilemme go and fetch it21:46
Unit193It's normally also in /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/21:48
ochosiyeah, that's where i was looking, but my connection is so lame21:48
ochosihttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-default-settings/raring/files/head:/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/panel/21:48
ochosiali1234: this is raring ^ but it's still at the same rev as trunk21:49
ochosiso it's fine21:49
ali1234right21:52
ali1234i'm going to fix the damn indicator-sound-gtk221:52
ali1234then i'm going to get it SRU'd21:52
ali1234then we're never going to ship that piece of *&^*^% ever again, right?21:53
ali1234i bet the fix is a 1 liner as well21:54
ochosiwe should somehow set up bug-bounty stuff21:54
ochosior at least that's what i wonder about sometimes21:54
ali1234did someone test the raring versions?21:55
ochosiof what? gtk3-indicators?21:56
ochosior of the indicator-gtk2 packages21:56
ali1234indicator-sound and indicator-sound-gtk221:56
ochosiif you mean the latter i didn't21:56
ali1234the reason it doesn't work is because those two packages are no longer compatible21:56
ochosiyeah, so they didn't drag along the gtk2 version with some changes21:57
ochosithat's as far as i remember when we last discussed this21:57
ali1234but i know how lazy those guys are... the change is probably tiny21:57
ochosi:>21:58
ochosii thought the changes were big, but tbh i never checked21:59
ochosiwow, the config.txt file panel-switch creates is quite compressed :)22:00
ali1234it is if you ask for bz222:00
ochosirighty22:01
ochosithat worked almost perfectly22:01
ochosionly the whiskermenu config was lost for some reason22:01
ali1234then it does not store it's configuration inside the panel config22:01
ochosihmm, why not...22:01
ochosigottcode: hey there! :)22:01
ali1234i dunno... maybe because it sucks :)22:01
gottcodeochosi: yo :)22:02
ochosigottcode: i was wondering why whiskermenu doesn't store it's config in the xfce4-panel config? (and ignore that rude statement there ;))22:02
ali1234all plugins are supposed to store config inside the panel /plugins/ stuff, so that you can have more than one with different configs22:02
gottcodeit uses the rc file path given to it by the panel22:03
ochosigottcode: ali1234 wrote a nice python tool to backup panel-config and restore it (and load presets), so i noticed that whiskermenu uses an rc file22:03
ali1234the tricky thing though, is that if the config is stored outside the panel config, then it shouldn't be lost22:03
ochosihmm22:03
ochositrue that22:03
ali1234because it wouldn't have been touched22:03
ali1234pastebin your config.txt please22:03
ochosione sec22:04
ali1234did you try to restore on a different computer?22:04
ochosihttp://dpaste.com/1493056/22:04
ochosii only have this one here...22:04
ochosii temporarily moved abroad, so i'm kinda low on resources atm22:04
ali1234ok so that stored nothing except that plugin-9 is a whiskermenu22:04
ochosiyup22:05
ali1234then it doesn't make any sense why the config would disappear22:05
ochosigottcode: just out of curiosity, why are the categories on the right in whiskermenu? (coming from the xfce appmenu i'd have expected them on the left)22:05
gottcodeochosi: the intent was to make it easier to get to the favorites22:06
ochosiali1234: hm, i have several whiskermenu rc files here, i'll clean that up (although there is a -9)22:06
Unit193ali1234: I've been using older versions, yes.  Raring and or precise.22:06
ali1234Unit193: any idea what the upstream source for -gtk2 is?22:07
ochosigottcode: you mean the apps are closer to the mouse-cursor when you open the menu?22:07
ali1234ochosi: it should still be plugin-9 before and after, so the config should not get lost22:07
gottcodeochosi: yup22:07
ochosiali1234: yeah, but probably it loads the first whiskermenu.rc file it can find, and not whiskermenu-9.rc22:08
ochosigottcode: very clever!22:08
ali1234that makes no sense... but if true, it's a bug22:08
ochosiali1234: well for now i don't have a good explanation, but i'll test with cleaning up the rc files and report back22:09
gottcodeochosi: thanks :)22:09
ochosigottcode: i really like whiskermenu i have to say, also the fact that it opens so speedily and everything, great work on that!22:09
Unit193ali1234: Not really, the package source was s/-gtk2//22:10
gottcodeochosi: :)22:10
ali1234Unit193: not on saucy22:10
ali1234this makes no sense22:10
ochosigottcode: fwiw, we're having a community meeting tomorrow and it's possible that whiskermenu will come up (i proposed to replace the traditional menu with it), so if you have time to hang out here that'd be great22:10
ali1234i don't understand how one is derived from the other22:10
Unit193http://paste.debian.net/69414/22:10
gottcodeochosi: cool, what time?22:10
ochosigottcode: lemme check, iirc it was 20UTC but i'm not sure now...22:11
ochosi19 UTC22:11
ali1234Unit193: that is indicator-messages22:11
Unit193Package: indicator-messages-gtk222:12
gottcodeochosi: I should be around for that22:12
ochosigottcode: sweet!22:12
ochosibrb22:12
ali1234Unit193: yes, indicator-messages-gtk222:12
Unit193Exactly, that's what I pasted.  You can see at the top Package: and Source:22:14
ali1234yes22:14
ali1234indicator-MESSAGES-gtk2 != indicator-sound-gtk222:14
ali1234https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/indicator-sound-gtk222:14
ali1234source package is indicator-sound-gtk222:14
ali1234in saucy22:15
Unit193http://paste.debian.net/69415/ right.22:15
Unit193(That's all the information I have on that.)22:16
ochosigottcode: btw, do you have more plans with whiskermenu? to me it seems pretty complete22:16
gottcodeochosi: not a whole lot more, just what is in the github issues really22:17
ochosigottcode: ah, lemme check those then..22:17
ochosigottcode: oops, issue #44 sounds like what i just asked... :p22:18
gottcodeochosi: no worries, I've gotten asked that a couple of times in email already today :)22:19
ochosihehe, even a bit more sorry then22:19
Unit193Um, why are indicator-sound's deps silly?22:19
gottcodeochosi: it's like bugzilla voting, lets me know it is a popular request :p22:20
ochosigottcode: i just remembered i submitted the resize-grip issue22:21
ochosigottcode: i'm starting to wonder whether the visual representation is really needed22:21
ochosiyou mentioned that one reason you draw the rectangle yourself is that the theme might not show resize-grips22:22
gottcodeochosi: just have a blank corner that can be dragged, like kickoff?22:22
ochosihow should the user then know what that triangle means?22:22
gottcodethat's true22:22
ochosii mean the triangle somewhat says "touch me"22:22
ochosion the other hand, i think it's up to themers to support resize-grips22:23
gottcodebut if your theme doesn't draw a triangle, or draws nothing at all...22:23
ochosiunless you intentionally disable it, it should be drawn in every engine i know22:23
ochosiyeah, i'd consider that a bug in the theme though22:23
ochosii mean i see your point of better being safe, but in a way your taking responsibility for what isn't 100% yours22:23
gottcodetrue22:24
gottcodeand I have seen users who think the menu can't be resized even with the triangle there22:24
ali1234i patched gtk to never draw resize grips22:25
ochosiso if a theme just replaces the resize-grip intentionally with a 1px blank pixmap, the functionality of the widget is also borked, right?22:25
ali1234even if the theme requests them22:25
ali1234they are completely dumb22:25
ali1234and they mess up many programs22:25
ochosiali1234: sounds like the opposity of the patch ubuntu did back in the day (after which we had resize grips in xfdesktop etc etc :D22:26
ali1234yes22:26
ali1234that's why i did it22:26
ochosiali1234: i know now why the whiskermenu-config was lost22:32
ochosito try whether your app really restores all my panels, i removed one of them (containing whiskermenu)22:33
ochosidoing that, the rc-file was deleted by the panel22:33
ochosiso while your app restored the panel-config just fine, the rc-file was obviously lost22:33
ochosiso your app works fine22:34
ochosiyou might wanna fix your config though: http://dpaste.com/1493097/22:36
ali1234no that's because it doesn't make the directories22:37
ali1234i'llfix it22:38
ochosiah22:38
ochosiright, i thought the desktop-file wasn't in the tarball or something (hadn't checked)22:38
ochosibtw, a fallback-option for when loading fails would be nice22:39
ochosior, it would be nice if it could be "tested" whether loading would fail22:39
ochosibut being able to save and restore panel configs is really convenient, great work on that122:40

bluesabreslickymaster: Clicking the Help button should open up yelp/ghelp:mugshot23:13

slickymasterbluesabre, hmm... so it will use the browser to open that page, right?23:15
bluesabreslickymaster: it should open yelp23:16
slickymasterbluesabre, ok, thanks23:16
bluesabrebut thats one of the things I'm going to discard for the next release, yelp is like a bad word around here sometimes :)23:16

bluesabreNoskcaj: I'll look into each of them, probably good info from each23:18
bluesabreslickymaster: I've gotta work on all of that, some core changes needed to get it into debian23:18
bluesabreand its gotta hit debian before we'll accept it in xubuntu23:18
slickymasterbluesabre, I'll include the reference to yelp, then23:19

ochosigottcode: re: issue #43, that's perfect! why shouldn't the user change those icons via the icon-theme?23:37
gottcodeochosi: the icons are the standard icons, so if they want to use the settings action to perform a shutdown they would need to change it globally23:39
ochosiyeah, and to be frank, using a settings icon for shutdown is weird :p23:40
gottcodeplus the tooltip text would say "All Settings" :p23:40
ochosithe standard icons are really fine imo, theoretically ppl can even just override those icons if they know how to do icon-themes (override them via a custom icon-theme in ~/.icons)23:40
ochosihehe23:40
gottcodetrue23:41
ala1234should i use ppa:gottcode/gcppa?23:42
slickymasterI'm off. cy tomorrow guys23:42
=== ala1234 is now known as ali1234
ochosigottcode: hmm, why is the file-open icon in your screenshot fuzzy...23:49
ochosijust checked and the icon should be there in elementary-xfce in 22px23:50
gottcodeochosi: probably because I didn't force the icon to be any specific size23:51
ochosihmm, it should work either way because the icon is png23:51
ochosior are you using the icons from git (hence in svg)?23:52
gottcodefrom git23:52
ochosiaah23:52
ochosiok :)23:52
ochosiin that case fuzzy is ok23:52
ochosiyou can use the daily PPA if you want23:52
ochosithen you get the png theme23:53
ochosiwhich is faster and sharper23:53
gottcodetricky to do, I'm an Archer :p23:53
ochosihehe, i see23:53
ochosiin that case you'd have to run the pngscript locally23:53
gottcodecould suggest that as an update to the AUR packaging23:54
ochosiyeah23:55
ochosifwiw, did you know you can alt-right-click-drag whiskermenu after opening it to resize it?23:55
ochosibut only before clicking something23:55
ochosiseems xfwm4 only gives up control over it after it gets focus23:56
gottcodeha! that's pretty funny23:56
gottcodeI can still drag it even after interacting with it23:56
ochosiali1234: yeah, that ppa is fine (ppa:gottcode/gcppa)23:57
ali1234ochosi: i pushed a fix for the directory creation23:59
