brainwashochosi: should I report bug 1264563 upstream (github)? should I also mark lightdm as affected package?00:31
ubottubug 1264563 in light-locker (Ubuntu) "lightdm not aware of session lock" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/126456300:31
brainwashwell, adding lightdm won't hurt I think :)00:33
NoskcajCan someone check my work at https://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu/trusty/libxfce4ui/4.11 is ok?01:30
Unit193Well hey, I have seemless now.02:09
Unit193Netbook Saucy vs Trusty VM.02:25
bluesabrehttp://www.smdavis.us/2013/12/28/lightdm-gtk-greeter-1-7-0-released/02:49
bluesabrethanks ali1234 ^02:50
Unit193You redesigned.02:50
bluesabreyeah, trying on the new Twenty Fourteen wordpress theme02:50
bluesabrestill have some issues with it, but I've ironed most things out02:51
brainwashochosi: oh, just found this report, I complained about the icon used by gigolo some time ago (gtk-network, the wifi symbol)12:30
brainwashhttps://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1007912:30
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 10079 in General "Change .desktop icon from gtk-network to folder-remote" [Normal,New]12:30
brainwashcould be fixed in xubuntu I guess, should we bother?12:31
elfybluesabre: xset s off didn't make any difference - had to do xset -dpms13:03
brainwashelfy: power manager is able to change the monitor control management (dpms)13:06
brainwashxset s <parameter>  controls the screen saver extension13:06
elfybrainwash: maybe so - all I know is that none of the current gui methods of stopping the monitor blanking after 10 minutes work13:07
brainwashinstall xscreensaver13:08
brainwash:P13:08
elfyoh hang on - power management has gone back to defaults somehow13:08
elfythat's the trouble with all these ppa's - no idea what's doing what anymore 13:09
brainwashwith the removal of xscreensaver we currently don't have an application to control the screen saver extension of the X server13:10
brainwashvia GUI I mean13:10
brainwashxfce4-power-manager does not offer the possibility yet (-> wish list)13:11
brainwashand light-locker isn't able to either13:11
brainwashI've added the bug report to the xubuntu 14.04 blueprint13:13
elfywhich blueprint13:15
brainwashhttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-t-flavor-xubuntu13:15
brainwashelfy: do you use the lightdm-gtk-greeter PPA and Unit193's PPA (xfdesktop, xfwm4 + tabwin)?13:33
brainwashif yes, does the smooth greeter -> desktop transition work for you, meaning no flicker at all?13:34
hobgoblinbrainwash: pretty sure that's 2 of the ones i've got13:34
hobgoblinnot sure - think I saw the grey screen this morning13:36
brainwashmaybe just an imaginary grey screen :D13:36
hobgoblin:)13:36
brainwashso far we got like almost no feedback at all, it works fine for me13:38
brainwashUnit193 did observe some strange black screen flicer13:38
hobgoblinwell then - let's give you so=me feedback 13:42
hobgoblinlogout and login - no grey screen13:42
brainwashUnit193: would it be possible to include the xfdesktop patch for accountsservice support?13:42
hobgoblinrestart - login screen is covered with 'pics' of whatver was on the monitor when I hit restart13:43
hobgoblinshutdown and restart - screen is corrupted with a sort of yellowish thing loads of 'boxes'13:44
hobgoblinno grey though ... 13:44
brainwashuhm, lets only focus on "lightdm greeter -> login -> desktop" 13:45
hobgoblinwhy?13:45
brainwashbecause this transition got improved13:45
hobgoblinfine13:46
hobgoblintheneverythings great13:46
brainwashthe background picture should remain always visible without any screen flicker (white, grey, black)13:46
brainwashok :)13:47
hobgoblinI'm no really in any fit state to be getting up and down to check the pc I'm afraid13:47
bluesabrehobgoblin, using nouveau drivers?13:47
hobgoblinyep13:47
bluesabrethere's a hacky fix we can start to try for that13:48
bluesabreI'll try to roll it out in the next few days13:48
hobgoblinbluesabre: for which ? the fubar boot 'screen things' ?13:49
bluesabreyeah13:50
hobgoblinok - will watch for that 13:50
hobgoblinbbl13:50
bluesabrebrainwash: so the monitor tabs in the xfce4-power-manager do not modify the screen blanking time?13:59
brainwashonly the dpms settings14:00
brainwashsee "xset -q"14:00
brainwashunder "Screen Saver:"14:00
bluesabreah, I see14:00
brainwashthe timeout value does not get changed14:00
brainwashit was xscreensaver's job to control it14:01
bluesabreright14:01
bluesabreochosi: we should add a light-locker-settings app14:01
bluesabreI might try to create a branch for that some time this week14:01
brainwashawesome14:01
sergio-br2hey guys, why inkscape is not default in (x)ubuntu?16:01
pmjdebruijnwhy would it be16:03
sergio-br2i mean, for people who cames from M$ world, it's more friendly click in one Corel file and it be opens by inkscape16:03
pmjdebruijnmost people don't need to open corel files16:03
sergio-br2normally, people knows only Corel16:03
ObrienDavesays you16:03
pmjdebruijnthe point is, the default applications in ubuntu/xubuntu are chosen by the type of things most people do/need16:04
pmjdebruijnvector art is rather specific16:04
sergio-br2and most people don't need to edit image files too, but gimp is default in xubuntu iso16:04
pmjdebruijnespecially for a disk space consuming application16:04
pmjdebruijnsergio-br2: I know a hell of a lot more people who edit photos than who do vector art16:04
pmjdebruijna couple orders of magnitude more16:04
pmjdebruijnmain point being16:05
pmjdebruijninkscape is easy to install via apt16:05
pmjdebruijn(or the software centre)16:05
sergio-br2well, in my university, a lot of people do vector art (and it's a engenering university)16:05
pmjdebruijnxubuntu isn't made for your university16:05
sergio-br2haha, yeah16:05
pmjdebruijnthat's super specific16:05
pmjdebruijnyour proving my point for me16:06
pmjdebruijnapt-get install inkscape is all your need16:06
pmjdebruijnso I really don't see the issue16:06
pmjdebruijnand on that previous note, plain ubuntu doesn't ship gimp anymore, but just shotwell (which is a good choice)16:06
pmjdebruijnmost people only need standard adjustment for their photos, not full "complicated" gimp16:07
* pmjdebruijn likes gimp16:07
pmjdebruijnbut that doesn't mean it should be in the default iso16:07
sergio-br2well, but gimp is in the xubuntu iso16:07
pmjdebruijnsome choices have to be made, otherwise you'd end up with a 10GB default install, with a lot of cruft few people use16:07
pmjdebruijnsergio-br2: it is16:07
pmjdebruijnediting photos is orders of magnitude more common than people working on vector art16:07
pmjdebruijnso that makes totally sense16:08
* pmjdebruijn isn't a developer btw16:08
pmjdebruijnbut the xubuntu developers choices do make sense to me16:08
hobgoblinapart from gmb ... 16:11
* hobgoblin chcks16:11
pmjdebruijngmb?16:11
hobgoblinto see if knome is about :)16:11
hobgoblingnomemusicbrowser16:12
pmjdebruijnoh?16:12
pmjdebruijnwhy16:12
pmjdebruijnseems fine to me16:12
hobgoblinmy pet hate lol16:12
ObrienDaveahh, phishing for knome? ;P16:12
pmjdebruijnhobgoblin: other replacement either seem way over crufted, or way underfeatured16:12
hobgoblinI use clementine16:13
pmjdebruijnor pull in gnome deps or whatever16:13
hobgoblinyep16:13
pmjdebruijnthat pulls in a huge bunch of dependancies16:13
pmjdebruijnand it's a qt app, so there might be qt theme consistency issues16:13
pmjdebruijnso again, I can see it makes sense to ship gmb :)16:14
=== hobgoblin is now known as elfy
pmjdebruijnanyhow just thinking out loud16:14
pmjdebruijnin the end everybody has their own preferences16:14
pmjdebruijnwhich is why apt is so great :)16:15
elfyI understand why we ship gmb - just never worked out how to use it the way I use other music apps16:16
elfyyep- apt ftw 16:16
Unit193brainwash: VM got the black screen, netbook gets smooth. (was waiting for release of the greeter.)  As I don't know about the patch, what's it do?  I suppose it'll apply cleanly?18:04
brainwashUnit193: actually I don't know18:08
brainwashit's xubuntu_set-accountsservice-user-bg.patch18:13
brainwashthe saucy/trusty source package includes this patch18:14
brainwashif it does not apply cleanly, you could apply it manually (it's a small patch)18:15
Unit193Oh, well sure then.18:24
Noskcajdebian just uploaded libxfce4ui 4.11, and have work on indicator plugin.18:59
Unit193brainwash: Well, I would if I could. :P19:30
Noskcajnew whiskermenu is in debian. 12 hours after release20:20
brainwashNoskcaj: any news regarding power-manager-systemd ?20:39
brainwashthe package provided by your PPA seems to work for most/all people20:39
Noskcajbrainwash, I've not paid much attention to it. i think ochosi and elfy are the ones to talk to. My issue is autoreconf isn't perfect, but i'll look at it today20:40
brainwashjust curious, if the updated package could be pushed into proposed20:41
brainwashNoskcaj: were you able to solve the indicator plugin build errors?20:44
Noskcajbrainwash, That's a bit difficult since we've got a 60 package sponsoring queue, 4.11 landing in experimental soon, and no MOTU for me20:44
Noskcajand i'll look today20:44
brainwashchaotic days :)20:45
NoskcajDo you know what http://paste.ubuntu.com/6659023/ means?20:51
Noskcajbrainwash, IT WORKS! i just had to run xdt-autogen better. I'll put it on the PPA now21:03
brainwashNoskcaj: great, I'll update my test system21:52
brainwashso the package is ready for the ubuntu repo?21:53
brainwashon top of that, SRU is needed for saucy =S21:55
Noskcajbrainwash, Should be. But like i said, we'll not get an upload for a few weeks unless micah will, sponsor queue is too big.21:56
NoskcajShould this get forwarded upstream? (or debian)21:56
brainwashright, but this is actually a major issue, affecting many many users21:56
brainwash344 heat level, a dozen of duplicates21:57
NoskcajWould it affect debian? If so, we'd get an upload that way just as fast21:57
brainwasha debian bug report exists21:58
brainwashhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=72760521:58
ubottuDebian bug 727605 in xfce4-power-manager "Add support for systemd inhibit API" [Normal,Open]21:58
Noskcajok, i'll talk to corsac now21:58
brainwashso I guess yes21:58
Noskcajbrainwash, http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-xfce/desktop/branches/experimental/xfce4-power-manager/debian/changelog?rev=8134&op=diff22:02
brainwashalready done?22:06
brainwashthat was fast22:06
Noskcajcorsac already was going to do it, this is a slightly different fix22:07
brainwashso we're going to use this fix too, right?22:10
NoskcajIt's pretty much identical, so yeah22:10
brainwashalright :)22:11
