bluesabreUnit193: finally fixed the daily builds of lightdm-gtk-greeter in trusty00:22
bluesabreochosi: will probably do an official 1.7.0 release of the greeter tomorrow00:23
bluesabreand parole either tomorrow or saturday00:23
Unit193Alrighty-o.00:24
bluesabre+1 on Noskcaj's comment on getting 4.11 components in soon00:25
* Unit193 updates vm.00:27
* bluesabre installed a fedora-20-xfce vm today00:31
bluesabrenon-xubuntu xfce is not pretty00:32
Unit193Fixed, eh? :P  201312270012~ubuntu14.04.100:33
Unit193Not much in the new xfce4-terminal, crash fix and url selection fix.00:45
Unit193http://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=a33597ba929fb4cccb3626b0329c4db29781638500:45

ali12341what conflict is that?00:53
Unit193Alt+scroll wheel on the title, no big deal I'd think.00:54
ali12341i don't follow00:54
ali12341alt+scroll on the title bar makes the window transparent?00:54
ali12341zooming actually uses the easymove key00:55
Unit193Mhmm, used to, never used it much, just remembered it randomly.00:55
ali12341so you can change it00:55
ali12341yeah changing it does make transparency work again00:57
Unit193Yep, just tested.00:57
* pleia2 adds link from drc03:49

ubottubug 1264448 in xfce4-indicator-plugin (Ubuntu) "Date time undersized" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/126444807:23
NoskcajIt's fine for me on trust gtk207:28
Noskcajbut i do shrink my panel07:28
NoskcajBut it's a PPA issue, so i'll check it when my dev pc get's set up07:29
NoskcajDoes it work without the shimmer PPA?07:31
elfyNoskcaj: it might be ok in gtk2 - but we need to be looking at these gtk3 things - we aren't shipping gtk2 :)07:31
elfyand I had the same issue with it when I built the gtk3 stuff rather than your ppa and without the shimmer one07:32
Noskcajok.07:32
elfywe need to have some sort of record of these issues - there might be a bug for it/or people might be aware of it07:33
brainwashochosi: so I want the new terminal icon to be changed/reverted back.. did you create it or who did and how can I inform the creator?11:42
brainwashxubuntu-icon-theme11:43
brainwashit's too dark, almost plain black and every time I see it I dislike it even more11:45
forestpiskiesome people without their glasses on can't actually see it -the white $_ just looks like a blur - it wouldn't actually be an issue to me if the panel itself wasn't almost black too12:16
brainwashright, people use the icons (window buttons in the panel) for better orientation12:35
brainwashbut black on black is hard to spot12:35
hugoangelohi all, I just starting testing (1st time) package Mousepad on Xubuntu and verified that the test results don't match the ones on the testcases. I believe that these are not bugs, but for beginners as myself is a bit confusing. Is there a way to inform the responsible for the testcases to check them or should I ignore an keep testing other packages?14:14
hugoangeloI tried to submit the test as failed, but without a bug number it won't let me14:15
hugoangeloshould I submit as passed with some text on the comments box?14:16
brainwashhugoangelo: I don't know how testing works exactly, but why not create a bug report on launchpad and then link to it?14:17
hugoangelook, tks14:19
elfyhugoangelo: hi14:30
elfywhat is it about the testcase you think is wrong? 14:30
elfyyou can in fact do a bug for that 14:30
hugoangelo- On "This test will check that Mousepad can find and highlight searched text", step 6, the selected "the" is the second one because of step 5. This makes steps 6 and 7 inaccurate.14:31
hugoangelo- On "This test will check that Mousepad can find and replace text, including case sensitivity and saves on close", step 13, since on step 1 we use a new document, the "Save as" dialog is presented (without closing Mousepad).14:31
hugoangeloProbably these are not bugs (hence I did not report them), but these testcases should be updated so beginners as myself won't get confused.14:31
hugoangelo(sorry about this copy/paste from the comment I was going to send)14:31
elfyhang on - logging onto the tracker14:31
elfymmm - I remember now - the bug link is missing from packages14:32
elfyhugoangelo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+filebug14:33
elfythen make sure to put the testcase number in the bug text14:33
hugoangeloI'm just new at this, actually this is my first test so I'm really just kinda lost14:33
elfywe're pretty quick at getting those bugs sorted out 14:33
elfyhugoangelo: yep, that's understood14:34

elfyhugoangelo: you can me too this one as well :)14:35
hugoangelook14:37
elfyand as far as the package test goes - if the testcase is wrong - but you'd pass it if the testcase was correct - then pass it - just note that there is an issue with the testcase14:38
elfydon't fail mousepad because the testcase needs to be fixed :)14:39
elfydoes that make sense?14:39

elfyand thanks for joining in - your input is appreciated 14:42

brainwashelfy: I can confirm that the time string gets truncated15:06
brainwash"Date time undersized"15:06
brainwashbut we won't use the date/time indicator, so not a big deal as of now15:07
brainwashwith the now fixed indicator-sound-gtk2 package we could even delay gtk3 indicators until 14.10, just a thought15:10
elfybrainwash: again we're back to the who or where does it say "we won't use the date/time indicator"15:21
elfyI've not seen that said by anyone apart from you :)15:21
elfyit's certainly not on the roadmap 15:22
elfyand I would hate to see gtk3 not get into trusty15:22
elfyand if we don't then we need to look at all the old gtk2 inds we don't have anymore and get them in 15:24
elfymessages for one15:24
elfythey have all been falling by the wayside release by release - and if we all have is sound in gtk2 and we don't get gtk3 then we should lose the whole lot15:25
andrzejrbrainwash, elfy, datetime should be fixed in xfce4-indicator-master (I hope)15:40
=== doko_ is now known as doko
elfyandrzejr: ok - thanks for letting me know16:06

brainwashelfy: doesn't date/time require the unity settings manager for configuration?17:05
brainwashsame for indicator-power17:05
brainwashand indicator-session I assume17:08
brainwash"we" only want the minimum amount of unity in xubuntu, right?17:08
Unit193We already bring in enough with indicator-sound.17:10
brainwashbut it does not require the settings manager, only pavucontrol17:11
Unit193Because of how the seeds work, we pull gnome-control-center onto the ISO.17:12
brainwashso this question needs to be answered: should current panel items get replaced by the gtk3 indicator equivalents?17:13
brainwashdate/time/, power, session17:13
Unit193I've stuck to 2 because the new panel doesn't handle color/bg/transparency.  Indicators are more likely to break than "panel items"17:15
brainwashbut this transparency issue will get fixed eventually17:15
brainwashon top of that, you can place panel item everywhere you like, indicators are bound to the indicator area17:17
brainwashand you cannot change the order I think17:17
Unit193Well, may have to go with power if xfpm isn't "fixed" to work with sysd.17:18
brainwashalready fixed17:18
brainwashPPA only as of now17:18
brainwashcurrently we got all the new stuff spread across various PPAs17:19
brainwashand branches17:20
Unit193Mhmm.17:20
Unit193I was thinking upstream, in Debian and preferred in Xfce.17:21
brainwashnot sure what the guys upstream intend to do17:22
brainwashbug 122202117:23

brainwashincludes links to debian and xfce17:23
brainwashand it already has been fixed in OpenSUSE17:23
brainwashUnit193: did you build xfwm4 tabwin with MONITOR_ROOT_PIXMAP enabled?17:26
brainwashI mean to activate the smooth greeter -> desktop transition17:30
andrzejrbrainwash, transparency is fixed in xfce4-panel master. Current solution will probably not work with a future gtk3 panel but that's another issue.17:42
andrzejrbrainwash, you can change order of indicators in the indicator plugin.17:43
brainwashandrzejr: I did apply the "Fix transparency issues with GTK3 plugins" fix, but it did not change anything at all, so let me try and rebuild again17:43
andrzejrYou can also use multiple indicator plugins if you prefer to distribute the indicators across the panel.17:43
brainwashok, gonna try to change order too :)17:43
brainwashawesome17:44
andrzejrbrainwash, are you using xfce4-panel/master branch?17:44
brainwashusing Noskcaj's PPA17:45
brainwashand did a simple rebuild17:45
brainwashwith this particular fix17:46
brainwashso there is most likely something wrong on my end17:47
andrzejrhmm.. noskcaj's package is based on wrapper3 branch but the patch should still apply cleanly. Let me know if you spot any issues.17:50
ochosibrainwash: it was merged from elementary upstream, best to complain there17:56
brainwashandrzejr: ok17:57
brainwashochosi: so we just use the new one?17:57
brainwasheOS uses plank, so there shouldn't be any problems with a plain dark icon17:59
ochosibrainwash: can you file an issue on github so i remember to take care of it next year18:02
brainwashochosi: alright18:04
brainwashoh, almost forgot about this.. parole 0.5.90, about dialog shows a blurry icon18:05
ochosity18:05
brainwash0.5.2 reserves a smaller area for the icon18:06
brainwashso we might need a high res version of the parole icon :)18:07
brainwashin trusty18:07
ochosimm, good point, we should look into that too18:08
ochosicurrwntly we have 64px i think18:08
brainwashand sorry for bothering you with low res icons once again (remember the trash icon?)18:08
ochosinp18:10
ochosibbl18:12
Unit193brainwash: Yes.18:22
Unit193(Isn't smooth for me yet, seems xfsettingsd and/or /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc sets it black.18:26
brainwashUnit193: ah, you already mentioned this18:51
brainwashstrange =S18:52
Unit193Mhmm.18:52
Unit193Still, cuts down on the grey, I notice now more because the netbook doesn't have it.18:52
brainwashwill or does bug 1193716 affect xubuntu trusty?18:58

brainwashI'll test that19:00
ochosibrainwash: that's supposedly X11's buitlin screensaver extension19:07
ochosii think the powermanager doesnt control that extension19:08
brainwashyes19:13
brainwashso, what to do?19:13
Unit193brainwash: You have a seemless transition now right?19:13
brainwashUnit193: yes, no blank screen at all19:14
Unit193Hrm, mind trying xfwm and/or xfdesktop from ppa?19:15
Unit193Is your setup non-standard?19:15
brainwashyes, it's a mess19:16
brainwashdo you also use upstream lightdm-gtk-greeter?19:17
brainwashwhich contains the root background fixes19:17
Unit193From the daily ppa, in vbox yep.19:18
brainwashok, so I'll test your PPA packages in few minutes19:19
brainwashochosi: should xfce4-power-manager be marked as invalid package then?19:20
brainwashinvalid or wishlist19:20
ochosibrainwash: i guess wishlist, but anyway, this should be fixed upstream somehow19:21
ochosibut as there is no maintainer, i'm not sure19:21
brainwashor via light-locker and it's non existing gui settings window :)19:23
ochosifeel free to submit a patch for that one ;)19:23
elfybrainwash: I got that 10 minutes inactivity thing going on here - not sure what it's caused by, must be something in one of the ppa's - with a clean vanilla install I didn't have it19:24
brainwashit's caused by the X server19:24
elfyneeds to be fixed whatever it is though 19:25
brainwashvanilla install? you mean with xscreensaver?19:25
ochosijust a setting19:25
elfybrainwash: yea19:25
elfyinstall from iso - not happening 19:25
brainwashright, xscreensaver does allow to change the settings19:25
elfyyep19:25
brainwashand it can even show screensavers, lots of them :)19:26
brainwashit's so superior xD19:26
brainwashI will try to work on solution for light-locker or xfce4-power-manager19:28
brainwashbut I usually get distracted by other projects19:28
ochosisounds good19:31
ochosianyway, g2g, bbl19:31
brainwashUnit193: installed your packages and I cannot spot any black screen flicker20:40
Unit193Good.  Thanks.20:40
brainwashtabwin seems to work (first time actually seeing it)20:40
Unit193Of course it does, main reason for that to exist, quite like it.  So, did you happen to do anything weird with xfce4-session?20:41
brainwashno20:41

brainwashis great too :)20:42
brainwashit should be the default xfce4-session binary and (xubuntu) config20:42
brainwashcan you verify the black flicker with a new user account?20:43
Unit193Sure, still happens.20:53
brainwashand the culprit is xfce4-session?20:55
