[00:03] * Noskcaj has decided to spend the day backporting stuff, has little else to do [00:53] slickymaster: most digital cameras do not work as webcams [00:53] see if it is recognized by cheese [01:01] Anyone want to confirm bug 1272123 ?

[01:19] if you need me to do anything to bring them up to speed, please let me know [01:20] I'm about to go have dinner, but I'll be back in a bit [01:39] bluesabre: yeah, I'm not sure I have time tonight, but will try to get to them soon [02:08] thanks micahg [02:09] btw, how are you doing, haven't seen you in a while :) [02:09] overloaded [02:10] :/ [02:10] All work? [02:11] no [02:14] Anything we can help with then? [02:16] nope, thanks anyways :0 [02:16] :) [02:18] I'm sure my submitting a proposal didn't help. Sure. [02:19] While you're here, if you have a sec that is, can you voice your opinion on the meeting item of having more people able to commit to the branches? [02:55] I think that's a good goal [03:29] hi [03:31] damiank: Howdy. [03:36] just fine, trying to download today daily iso [03:37] but it seems my ISP dont want me to download it ;) [03:39] Hrm, what's the error/problem? [03:40] im not sure, it wont start. But it worked 2 days ago. So probably its my ISP today [03:41] i'll try tomorrow [03:42] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/trusty/alpha-2/trusty-desktop-amd64.iso ? [03:42] >140KB/s for me. :/ [03:43] yeah its my isp [03:43] dont worry [03:43] i'll try later or tomorrow [03:43] the strange thing is that internet actually works [03:44] just ubuntu.com seems to have stopped [03:44] Entirely? Just slow here. [03:44] no [03:44] cdimage [03:44] i have a daily downloaded on tuesday [03:44] that worked great [03:45] Oh, so when you download it tomorrow, just use zsync and you're great. [03:45] i'll test [03:45] im testing on virtualbox under xubuntu 12.04 that i have on this pc [03:46] deciding if updating or not ;) [03:47] i guess its better to wait for final before using it outside of virtualbox [03:51] Depends, how critical is it? [03:52] i work on this pc.. so may be a bit critical. Actually i do most of my work on gvim or st2 coding php, so if editor works not much problem.. but.. [03:53] Well, several have been running with no issues. Some polish isn't on, and not all packages we'll need have been uploaded, but still. [03:54] well i have a very simple setup here [03:54] just what came on the 12.04 cd and the editors [03:54] so i dont care too much of packages, just that the xfce works and gvim works should be ok :) [03:55] Well if I were you then, I'd likely go for it. :P [03:55] i tried on virtualbox and seems to work great [03:55] but one thing is vb, and other the real thing with drivers like ralink cards, etc [03:56] Oh, something you *can* do to test it on your hardware (the lazy way) install grml-rescueboot from the repo and drop the iso in /boot/grml and update-grub. [03:56] i'll test that this weekend [04:13] hi brainwash [04:21] * Unit193 likes apt-listchanges [04:22] * Noskcaj does not [04:23] takes ages to download changelogs, then another button to hit on the daily upgrade [04:24] i have to go bye!! [04:26] ...So don't install it? 0_o [04:36] Unit193, I uninstalled it, just saying i don't like it [04:43] Only time it's a "problem", is release upgrades, and a simple kill will fix any annoyance. [04:48] Just started testing Alpha 2. Looks nice so far. With regards to bug #1261203 (Abiword "missing" ruler), I notice that opening any dialog restores the top ruler. [04:48] bug 1261203 in abiword (Ubuntu) "Abiword top ruler hidden by gray area on first open" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1261203 [04:52] However, any attempt at text entry results in the ruler vanishing once again. [04:55] ochosi: https://unit193.net/indicator-weirdness.png [04:56] Abiword's about dialogue is also missing the abiword icon. It just shows the placeholder black rectangle missing icon. [05:32] Found strange behavior in Parole's volume slider. If I drag the volume above the slider it will jump down and resume the increase from that point. [05:33] bluesabre: ^? [05:33] Might have a VM with parole. [05:41] ecomp97: Just jumps to the bottom for me. [05:44] When it jumps for me, it will go the bottom or close to depending on the window size. Starting a length equal to the slider's length from the window title it would then increase. [05:58] I'll be sure to run Xubuntu through some more rigorous testing later. [08:22] bluesabre, An email i just got that may interest you. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6807255/ [08:23] menulibre related [08:52] elfy, [08:52] [knome] Follow up with elfy on the QA articles for Xubuntu.org: TODO [08:52] elfy, did you need anything more from me? [08:53] elfy, while you basically have the publishing rights now, i don't think it's bad idea ever to ask somebody else to proof-read [08:53] elfy, but other than that... i don't think there's much to follow up unless you had some questions [09:59] morning all [10:05] knome: no - no real questions - though I suspect you'll have seen that I POSTPONED it :) [10:05] and yea - I'd get stuff proofread first regardless of being able to publish or not [10:05] hi slickymaster [10:06] hey elfy, knome [10:06] good morning [10:08] knome: following what I've asked you yesterday at the meeting, let me tell you that the http://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=xfdesktop-docs documentation that jjfrv8 and I made for http://docs.xfce.org/ is up to date [10:08] so I think it can be reused in Trusty [10:22] bluesabre: you around? [10:28] why did I say mugshot was ready for us to test yesterday :| [10:29] sigh [10:36] well, the stable PPA can be tested elfy [10:37] sorry - we're not doing real testing from ppa's - once it is properly released then we can call for it [10:38] oh, did't realize you where talking abou -qa tes [10:38] tests ^^ [10:38] yep [10:38] hence the constant whine from me to not leave things too late :p [10:38] Unit193: indicator weirdness? [10:39] Unit193: the indicator area might turn transparent occasionally, if your panel is set to be 100% opaque [10:41] and it only seems to do it when used in trusty (gtk 3.10) [10:42] slickymaster: same with the indicators - generally the new stuff isn't any worse than the new [10:43] yeah, I know what you mean [10:43] 12 weeks to release [10:43] really needs to be there for the b1 release [10:44] and counting... down [10:44] anyway - I'm sure everyone's bored of me by now lol [10:44] the gtk3 indicator stuff gets constantly improved, but we got almost no tester/feedback for them [10:45] I've fed back what I've seen [10:45] and if we wait for people to do that then we just as well take it off the roadmap [10:45] something like should be made available for a large group of testers [10:46] everyone who get's testing calls - got the information about this [10:46] not everyone likes to install PPAs :) [10:47] I know [10:47] and apply some workarounds [10:47] it's still a mess [10:47] and releasing 13.10 with a broken sound indicator wasn't ? [10:48] and semi broken power manager [10:48] but now we are talking about a LTS release [10:48] people believe that LTS means stable and almost bug free [10:49] yep - anyway - I'm not going to have anything to do with them now till it's out of ppa's [10:49] brainwash: well that's because people decided what LTS meant - instead of looking to see what it actually stands for [10:49] how could we speed up the progress of including them? [10:50] no idea - not anything I can do - so I'll do as I said ^^ [10:50] alright, I'll focus on other things in the meantime [10:50] not that I'm blaming anyone of course - if we had hundreds of people doing things it would be a different kettle of fish :) [10:53] elfy: can you confirm bug 1272057 ?

(any weekday apart from monday would work for me in the evenings, all days should be fine during the day) [10:55] Noskcaj: I've nearly finished the fix for that bug [10:55] so there will be a 2.0.1 this weekend [10:56] brainwash: does that occur with the a2 image? [10:56] bluesabre: I'm now using a Creative webcam but I'm still getting stuck with the same issue in Mugshot [10:56] slickymaster: does it work in cheese? [10:56] elfy: probably [10:57] haven't tried it yet. Going to install it to check it out bluesabre [10:57] thanks slickymaster [10:57] we're depending on gstreamer, which we all know is never perfect [10:57] brainwash: confirmed and commented [11:00] elfy: thanks [11:02] elfy: I assume that 36px is the preferred size, 32 appears to be a bit too small + the icon labels get truncated even more [11:02] welcome :) [11:02] brainwash: then why not bump it to 48px, which is again a "real" size? [11:02] no idea - first thing I do is turn off everything that shows on the desktop :) [11:03] brainwash: ideally thunar-default-icon-size (iconview) == xfdesktop-default-icon-size [11:04] ochosi: 48 is huge, on top of that, xfdesktop4 4.11 has a problem with icon scaling [11:04] try changing the size from 32 -> 33 [11:05] that's not xfdesktop's issue [11:05] ochosi: ok, so what is the desired desktop icon size then? [11:05] or: not strictly [11:05] does the latest xfdesktop have the code merged from thunar, or is that still in a separate branch? [11:05] that's a problem with us having a png icon-theme [11:06] thunar offers fixed icon-sizes, so you can only set it to sizes which we have in our icon theme [11:06] being able to freely select the size has its problems [11:06] brainwash: so... keeping ^ in mind, either use 16,22,24,32,48 or 64 [11:07] this is with 36, fwiw: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-01242014-120710pm.php [11:07] 32 too small, 48 too big :( [11:07] it's the same in thunar [11:07] yes, home + trash folder are set to 48px [11:08] no, those are png icons from our theme [11:08] the other two aren't from our theme [11:08] we don't ship a g+ icon [11:08] so it's set to "scalable" [11:08] ours aren't, so it just jumps to the next size [11:08] yes, exactly [11:08] bluesabre: \o/ finally [11:09] slickymaster: did cheese pull another required gstreamer depends?

[11:10] I will try it [11:10] brainwash: feel free to add a comment explaining what happens, there is currently no sane way in which we can fix this (other than setting a sane default) [11:10] thanks [11:11] ochosi: so we set the icon size to 32 by default then? [11:12] otherwise it will be 36 if it isn't defined anywhere and change to 32 after opening the desktop settings dialog [11:13] bluesabre: I'll go look in my other proper install at mugshot - pretty sure I've not got a bunch of gstreamer stuff preinstalled there [11:13] thanks elfy [11:14] brainwash: yeah, i think 32 is fine [11:15] ok [11:15] but this limitation is so ugly [11:16] 32 or 48-ish [11:16] good to know that the official python documentation for gtk3 is also wrong :/ [11:19] brainwash: whining about it doesn't change it though [11:20] a bug report could [11:20] no, investigating a solution could [11:21] scaling of png icons? [11:21] i personally don't mind the size of desktop-icons, so i have practically 0 incentive to investigate this [11:22] you can try and look into gnome-icon-theme's index.theme, they set scaling boundaries for their icons. but iirc they're all svgs, so it probably won't help us [11:22] but yeah, having fixed sizes is one of the downsides (and upsides) of png [11:25] ok, but aren't all the icons originally saved as svgs? [11:25] and then exported [11:26] bluesabre: the output of tail -150 /var/log/apt/term.log is available for you at http://paste.ubuntu.com/6807866/ [11:28] brainwash: bottom line is I reinstalled Mugshot, having previously installed gstreamer1.0-tools, and after mugshot installed cheese [11:28] once again :P sorry brainwash was meant for bluesabre [11:28] bl [11:28] :P [11:28] ok - with -stable I got the trusty not working, with -daily I installed mugshot, no camera, installed gstreamer tools and it worked ok [11:28] * slickymaster curses tab autocompletion [11:28] that's with a logitech c270 [11:29] elfy: finally solved it [11:29] cool [11:30] elfy: with a Creative VF0050 [11:31] I had some MS thing a while back, should have known better ... [11:32] bluesabre: it would be great if you figure out what could be causing it in order to add same kind of warning to the documentation [11:32] could have been ^^^ [11:33] slickymaster: I think tools was one of the first things I suggested, but I'll add that to recommends on the package [11:35] bluesabre: anyway I think I should add a in the documentation, what do you think? [11:35] slickymaster: please do [11:35] ok, thanks for the help [11:41] elfy, ok, good [11:41] slickymaster, ta [11:41] ochosi, works for me, but we'll have to wait for pleia2's ack [11:45] ochosi: I'll wait for more feedback regarding the default desktop icons size, 32px vs ~48px [11:46] thunar uses 48 and 32 appears so damn small [11:50] 3rd option is to set it 36 (initial icon size when the user boots into live mode or creates a new account) [11:51] where's skellat again [11:52] knome: physically> [11:52] ? [11:52] if you think that information helps me get ahold of him, yeah :P [11:53] lol [11:53] ohio :) [11:53] apaprt from that I think he's got mad work issues [11:59] knome: he's accessibile on g+ [11:59] but he's been traveling a lot it seems [11:59] would need him on irc, or bluesabre :P [12:00] :) [12:00] need to look at the 12.04 docs sru packaging [12:00] something is broken [12:00] ah [12:00] i'm just installing 12.04 to be able to poke at things [12:00] brainwash: no, 36 is not an option, cause as you've seen, some icons will be 48px anyway then [12:00] looks like some image files are missing, some aren't updated and for some reason, some css files are either not updated or can't be read or sth [12:00] knome: sure, thanks [12:01] brainwash: the real "bug" there atm is that the file-system icons don't exist in our icon-theme seemingly, and get inherited or something [12:03] ochosi: I understand, 36 -> no, 32 -> rather small, 48 ok? [12:04] brainwash: yeah, i guess the only problem you could have with 48 is that the grid is bigger than thunars [12:04] thuna's [12:04] thunar's [12:05] bbl [12:06] so lets wait for a final decision, maybe we can get some xfdesktop tweaks/changes beforehand [12:07] bluesabre, for some reason, sudo apt-get source xubuntu-docs gets me 11.10.0...

[22:04] Sadly, looks not. [22:04] so we need a xfwm4 package which might eventually land in trusty [22:04] 4.11 [22:04] Cakewalk, where you want it? [22:05] brainwash, since Unit193 has everything set up and know the patch, let him do the PPA [22:05] alright [22:05] some separate PPA then [22:05] Unless you want it in Ubuntu, then Noskcaj is the one. :P [22:05] And if it's actually a patch rather than a rules change, please remember the DEP3 header [22:05] so I've got a problem. I followed elfy's mail pointing to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/310/builds.

[22:06] -tabwin [22:06] there (http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/310/builds/61654/downloads)... but nothing does download. neither through http or rsync [22:07] brainwash: Yeah, not even a configure switch. :/ [22:08] Migou, perhaps install the program testdrive-gtk , It let's you download and sync ISOs very easily [22:08] And it will run them in a VM or burn to usb for you [22:08] Unit193: we basically need something for testing, maybe it's ok if tabwin is also included [22:08] Migou: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/trusty/alpha-2/ [22:09] brainwash: I'd hope so, but I can understand if not. At the very least ochosi needs to re-sync with master so it'd be a newer version than in repo. [22:09] Migou, but Unit is right, the links sometime mess up around releases [22:10] Unit193: I'm just worried that we get almost no feedback for the seamless transition, this way it will be rather hard to actually include it for the final trusty release :/ [22:11] Bah, I was updating an init script, wait a minute and I can get you something. [22:12] Unit193: can you please promote your xfwm4 package (PPA) and call for testers in the bug report? [22:18] Hmm, what? [22:19] make ppa, tell everyone about ppa, tell elfy to tell everyone [22:19] just mention that your xfwm4 package is already built with the needed flag [22:19] and is ready to test [22:19] and if anything goes wrong, blame brainwash ;) [22:19] or ali1234 [22:20] he did the coding :P [22:22] oh, trusty does not ship lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.7 yet, still at 1.6 [22:23] 1.7 is a quite important release, especially the lock screen changes are [22:24] ochosi: ^ ? [22:24] brainwash, I think blue sabre was going to try and merge from debian. I don't know the package well enough to [22:24] and i'll merge light-locker as soon as it clears NEW [22:25] ok :) [22:27] brainwash: I liked the idea to blame you. :D Also, current PPA xfwm is technically at a "lower version" than in repo, so would have to do some strange things to use it. Doing a sync on the latest xfwm in Trusty then bumping version. Rebuilding now, will upload once it clears.
