bluesabreNoskcaj: about to do a release with the fix in it00:48
bluesabremy internet has been out all day, seems to be back somewhat now00:48
Noskcaj:)00:49
bluesabreNoskcaj: https://launchpad.net/menulibre/2.0/2.0.101:10
bluesabre:)01:10
Noskcajthanks01:11
NoskcajYou are proving that #shimmer is really #xubuntu-devel2 though01:11
bluesabrein a way01:11
bluesabreits usually where parole and greeter talk happen so simon and I don't flood this channel01:12
bluesabremy excuse there is that we're discussing design, so its #shimmer-related :)01:13
bluesabreright ochosi?01:13
ochosiyup01:13
ochosithing is that parole isn't really xubuntu-related directly01:13
ochosisame thing goes for the greeter01:13
ochosiand since it's mostly ppl hanging out in shimmer who happen to work on these projects, we mostly talk about them there01:13
bluesabreNoskcaj: besides the menulibre2.0.1 update, do we think we can get mugshot into debian as well?01:15
bluesabreI'll be working on catfish this week01:15
Noskcajmugshot should get to debian, i just need to find a sponsor01:15
bluesabreexcellent :)01:19
NoskcajAlso a new version of pexcept01:20
bluesabrecool01:21
bluesabrealso, catfish doesn't depend on any specific version of locate01:22
bluesabreas long as it provides a locate executable, its sufficient01:22
bluesabreand I think that include mlocate01:22
bluesabrebut I'll document that with the next release01:22
Noskcajbluesabre, is https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/menulibre_2.0-1.log fixed in 2.0.1?01:24
ochosihm, apart from all the packaging and uploading stuff, currently this looks like one of the more challenging workitems:01:24
ochosi[xubuntu-dev] Look into creating a GUI for light-locker settings (or integrate into xfce4-powermanager): TODO01:24
bluesabreNoskcaj: haven't seen that before, so I'm going with no01:25
bluesabrewhat is it?01:25
NoskcajAn (un)installation error01:25
NoskcajThat might be a bug in piuparts though01:26
bluesabreyeah, looks unrelated to menulibre01:27
NoskcajNew indicator plugin version in my PPA02:12
bluesabreochosi ^02:31
bluesabrethanks Noskcaj02:31
bluesabrestarted work on catfish, already removed the embedded pexpect02:34
bluesabreits totally reasonable to assume that I'll have a new release ready the end of the week02:34
bluesabrethen maybe knome will let me take a break ;)02:35
bluesabreochosi: (trusty only) new parole daily builds in https://code.launchpad.net/~smd-seandavis/+recipe/parole-gtk3-daily02:36
bluesabreif not using trusty, you'll get a daily libxfce4ui, which you almost certainly do not want02:36
Noskcajbluesabre, good work. I think the devel part of 14.04 is now just bugfixing and packaging02:44
bluesabreyeah02:45
bluesabresomehow it seems we're much more on schedule this cycle02:45
bluesabreit helps that parole-0.6 missed 13.10, most of the dev on it has been done for a while02:46
benonsoftwareHiya, I'm wondering how much RAM would be enough for testing 14.04 inside a VM?04:54
pleia2at least 512M, I tend to test with 1-1.5G04:55
benonsoftwareThanks :)04:56
* benonsoftware will settle with 512, he only has 1.75GB overall RAM :(04:57
pleia2if you have a really poor experience with 512 that'd be worth knowing too, as we're always looking to evaluate our min specs04:59
benonsoftwareJust running it now as a live system, it's actually running very nicely for me :)05:04
pleia2cool05:05
benonsoftwareI've been noticing the work the the Xubuntu team has been doing, a great job. :D05:16
ochosinice, i can confirm that the indicator-plugin package from Noskcaj does solve some issues (labels being cut etc), so now it seems there are mostly some indicator-internal issues left08:02
elfyochosi: do we want to check anymore than light-locker locks and unlocks the screen?08:51
knomebenonsoftware, thanks! (re: g+ invite, i'm not using g+, so thanks, but can't accept ;))09:31
T-kiltshort Hello to all09:31
elfythat'd be Hi then :p09:31
elfyknome: power testcase is done if you get time to look - if not I'll point slicky at it 09:32
T-kiltthx elfy09:32
T-kiltShort Question: Experience with Xubuntu 14 alpha 2 and VMware 10 ? Would like to test it fist in VM 09:33
elfyno idea about vmware - but I often test in vbox 09:33
T-kilt@elfy: would like to use vbox too but company policies are somethimes a pain in the... ;-)09:35
meetingologyT-kilt: Error: "elfy:" is not a valid command.09:35

elfyjust use elfy :p09:37
elfybut yep - understoof09:38
T-kiltelfy: Would like to parcitipate a little in testing. Who would get the bug reports? Special Account for alpha ?09:40
elfyok 09:41
elfylet me find the info for you09:41
elfyyou'll need a LP account09:41
knomeT-kilt, testing is reported in trackers, no personal info is gathered (if you are worried about that)09:41
elfyT-kilt: can't find what I was looking for - but ^^ have a LP account - use the 2 trackers, report on the trackers, bugs get reported there and they show up 09:44
elfyhttp://xubuntu.org/news/help-us-test-xubuntu-14-04-lts/09:44
elfysubscribe to the devel mailing list and you'll see what we're testing and when as I call for it09:44
T-kiltknome: thx for the answer. Second  Rule: no personal info on test systems ;-)09:45
T-kiltelfy: o.k. . Will join later this day09:46

slickymasterbluesabre: I'm sure you saw this http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/01/24/%23xubuntu-devel.html#t16:0309:55
slickymasterbluesabre: anyway, I'm kind of hoping you manage to find 5 minutes to help me to sort it out09:56
slickymasterbluesabre: sorry, I meant that I wasn't sure  you saw it ^^10:02

elfyappears to be fixed now here10:19
bluesabreslickymaster: does that happen in trusty?10:59
slickymasterbluesabre: nopes, in Saucy11:00
bluesabreyeah, it seems like something is unstable in saucy11:01
bluesabreglade insta-crashes, menulibre crashes, and mugshot crashes11:01
bluesabreeverything seems stable in trusty from what I can tell11:01
elfyit has been for me 11:01
elfyapart from the help thing still11:02
elfybluesabre: ^^11:02
slickymasterI'll install it in trusty in a minute, and will report you promptly 11:02
bluesabregreat11:02
bluesabreelfy: I just released mugshot-0.2 which gets rid of the old help11:02
elfyaah okey doke :)11:02
bluesabrenow the button takes you to the online docs11:02
elfyok - thanks :)11:03
elfybluesabre: re menulibre - anything in particular that you want to test - really don't want to end up with a 30 minute test here :p11:04
bluesabrenothing in particular, the only caveat is that adding launchers to the top-most level of the menu doesn't work in xfce from what I can tell11:05
elfyand are we going to be dealing with the edit menu option not being there if you right click properties menu ?11:05
elfyok - will bear that in mind11:05
bluesabrethe edit menu will be changed to point to menulibre once its added to the seed11:06
elfycool - that was all I needed to know then :p11:06
bluesabreif you notice any peculiarities, go ahead and file a bug, that way I'm sure to get to it11:07
elfyyep11:07
elfynot looked at it properly yet - just installed it 11:07
bluesabrealrighty11:08
bluesabregotta run, be back tonight.  good luck!11:13
elfyhave a day :)11:14
elfyslickymaster: if you get chance there's a draft power testcase ready for looking at11:37
slickymasterbluesabre: it doesn't happen in trusty.11:38
slickymasterbluesabre: what we discussed about the web camera in mugshot11:39
slickymasterelfy: do you want me to review it or to enhance it?11:39
elfyslickymaster: that's good then - I didn't have any issues either - other than installing that one package11:39
elfyslickymaster: up to you - I'm trying to make tests as simple as possible11:40
elfyhave you seen the gthumb one :|11:40
slickymasterelfy: can you provide me a link to it?11:40
elfyhttps://code.launchpad.net/~elfy/ubuntu-manual-tests/1270911/+merge/20328211:41
elfysorry - a bit all over the place tis morning :)11:41
slickymasterelfy: it was me who wrote the gthumb test11:42
slickymasterdo you think it needs some kind of tweaking?11:42
elfyit is long is all11:42
elfythere's not really much we can do with it though11:43
slickymasterelfy: thing is that gthumb has a lot of options/menus to work with11:44
elfyI know :)11:44
elfythere's not really much we can do with it though11:44
elfy:)11:44
slickymasterelfy: I'll review your MP 1270911 this afternoon and will try to re-read the gthumb one too see if somehow it can be trimmed11:45
slickymasterto, not too ^11:46
elfyslickymaster: ok for the MP - really don't bother with gthumb - maybe we can look for Unreal Unicorn when it turns up 11:46
slickymasteryour code names are starting to growing on me, elfy 11:48

brainwashyes, my mail box got spammed with those bug report status changes17:13
elfymine too - can't keep up 17:14
elfyI'll mark it as a dupe17:14
brainwashok :)17:14
brainwashbtw do you prefer 32px or 48px sized desktop icons? https://code.launchpad.net/~thad-fisch/xubuntu-default-settings/desktop-icon-size/+merge/20294417:15
elfyasking the wrong person I'm afraid17:15
elfyI prefer an empty desktop :p17:15
brainwash32 is the default, but xfdesktop somehow sets the size to 3617:16
elfysorry - I'm completely meh about that :)17:16
brainwashand 36 is "invalid", because some icons simply do no scale17:16
brainwashok, I just want to get it fixed and not wait until it's april =S17:17
elfy:)17:17
elfysame guy has decided that gtk3 inds is low priority :p17:18
brainwashit is low apparently17:18
brainwashotherwise we would already have them :D17:18
brainwashbut the new indicator plugin is in great shape, many things have been fixed17:19

Noskcajnothings changed that i know of19:48

Noskcajbluesabre, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6828091/19:54
elfyNoskcaj: so what exactly are the packages that are missing for us - I'll report it19:56
Noskcajelfy, gnome-*-admin19:56
Noskcajtime and user19:57
elfygnome-user-admin no such package19:57
Noskcajall the binaries should have been the same though19:57
elfywhat I don't understand is how this even happened without knowing19:57
elfyshould have and are don't always match :p19:57
Noskcajhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+changelog is the changelog19:58
Noskcajtime- and network-19:58
elfymeans little to me I'm afraid19:58
elfyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/127330520:00
ubottuUbuntu bug 1273305 in gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) "Users and Groups missing recently?" [Undecided,Confirmed]20:00
Unit193http://launchpadlibrarian.net/162987751/gnome-system-tools_3.0.0-2ubuntu2_3.0.0-3ubuntu1.diff.gz has it, all the files were dropped from the .install files, thus nothing is installed except for the xpm files, so it'd be an expected change.20:02
elfyso simple enough to deal with?20:03
Noskcajshould be. But we noe sync that bit from debian, so you'll need to go and complain in #ubuntu-devel20:04
elfyexcellent20:04
elfyfrom the logs Noskcaj - you appear to be saying you did it20:05
elfyso why should I go anywhere else 20:05
Unit193He did the last one, yeah..20:05
* elfy doesn't understand this stuff :)20:05
elfyNoskcaj: I'm not blaming you - just reading what you said :)20:06
Noskcajelfy, yes, at the instruction of pitti, but my understanding of the package is little and i'm not sure ubuntu will be keep to revert this change20:06
elfymmm20:06
elfyok20:06
Noskcaj*keen20:07
brainwashelfy: we could use the MATE fork of users-admin20:29
brainwashI assume that it is better maintained 20:29
NoskcajDoes ubuntu fully have MATE yet?20:30
brainwashdoes not look like it is the case20:32
brainwashbut debian has all the package or?20:33
brainwashpackages20:33

knomeelfy, what about upgrade testing you want to think with me?21:26
elfyyou want us to do it? 21:28
knomesure21:33
knomewe've done it in the past, and the LTS->LTS upgrade tests are quite important21:33
knometbe, we probably should do round 1 for that ASAP21:34
knomebecause that could give us unexpected problems21:34
elfyyep21:34
knomebbl21:34
elfyI'll be gone21:34
elfyknome: I'm away now - I'd think we'd want to do both 12.04 -> 14.04 and 13.10 ->14.04 21:42
elfyI'll read tomorrow21:42
Unit193knome: But, can you, before doing the VM update, pretend to customize it a bit? :P21:44
slickymasternight all22:35
knomeUnit193, that would be optimal22:50
knomeUnit193, i don't think clean 12.04 -> 14.04 upgrade makes too much sense (it does some, but it's not too good for testing real-world situations/problems)22:51
Unit193I'll likely be moving a couple over before release, but not long before.  That'll add some craziness testing there.22:52
bluesabredrat, Noskcaj is not around23:09
