zequenceI'd like to add a couple of apps to be autostarted when the user logs in, by default. How does one add that for users, by default?08:54
zequenceAh, /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop09:01

Unit193zequence: You may want to make sure it doesn't conflict with another package or settings package.  You can use /etc/xdg/ubuntustudio/autostart/ if the path already exists in another package.11:26
zequenceUnit193: It's for the next version of the application ubuntustudio-controls, and the idea is that it should autostart on any DE11:31
zequenceThere's a way to make it only start on certain DEs though, specified in the desktop file11:32
zequenceeven if put in /etc/xdg/autostart11:32
Unit193Yep, and to exclude a few.11:33

brainwashnot yet fixed, delete a file and relog to reproduce it14:09
knomebrainwash, where's your patch for the bug?14:22
brainwashknome: work in progress I guess14:56
brainwashdoes anyone here use whisker menu?15:25
brainwashif it's the left most item in the panel and you try to drag a panel window button, does the whisker menu panel item turn black?15:27
brainwashnevermind, it's a known issue15:30
* pmjdebruijn uses 1.3.1 backported to saucy15:31
brainwashhttps://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/issues/3715:34
brainwashBUT it might affect more/all external panel plugins15:34
brainwashoccasionally it happens to the places plugin too15:35
pmjdebruijnsounds like a panel bug?15:35
brainwashcould be, marking whisker menu as internal plugin apparently resolves the glitch15:36
pmjdebruijnbtw in the next intel video driver there are going to be some nice fixes, which are relevant for xfwm15:36
pmjdebruijnbrainwash: huh?15:36
brainwash"Something else that also solved the bug for me was making the plugin internal instead of external."15:37
brainwashyou mean SNA related fixes?15:38
pmjdebruijndefine internal vs external?15:38
pmjdebruijnbrainwash: indeed15:38
pmjdebruijnI helped troubleshoot like 5+ bugs in grand total15:38
pmjdebruijn2 were xfwm artifacts with sna15:38
pmjdebruijnand 3 were TearFree related (which defaults to off)15:38
brainwashppor dev, he is working on SNA on a daily base, but it still causes so many glitches15:39
brainwashtearfree related? did not notice anything odd15:39
pmjdebruijndo you have tearfree enabled i nthe intel driver?15:40
pmjdebruijn(not xfwm)15:40
brainwashcurrently not, but I did enable it occasionally15:40
pmjdebruijnwill latest git master it should finally be reliable15:40
pmjdebruijnI hit a lot of issues using chromium15:40
brainwashbut didn't notice anything strange15:40
pmjdebruijnchromium :)15:41
brainwashother than the expected performance loss15:41
brainwashoh ok15:41
pmjdebruijnthere were lots of cornercases :)15:41
brainwashfirefox here15:41
pmjdebruijnyeah didn't have any issues there either15:41
pmjdebruijnand I had some weird issue with scummvm :)15:41
pmjdebruijnlike I said, I helped troubleshoot 5 (or 6?) issues by now :)15:41
pmjdebruijnickle did the hard work of actually fixing stuff15:41
brainwashawesome :)15:42
pmjdebruijnjust trying to get the intel driver in as best shape as possible for the next LTS15:42
brainwashhopefully we get all the fixes to land in trusty15:43
brainwashand regarding internal/external -> https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/issues/37#issuecomment-2975896615:44
brainwashI assume that the internal plugins are all those which ship with xfce4-panel15:45
brainwashapp menu, window buttons,..15:45
brainwashI'll file a report against xfce4-panel after some more testing15:46

knomeNoskcaj, i'd appreciate "#info Noskcaj did ..." (easier for the team reports)19:09
Noskcajok.19:09
ali1234it's looking a lot like we'll have to wait until feature freeze and then demand it's either fixed or rolled back19:09
slickymaster#info slickymaster started to work on migrating Mugshot documentation into docbook format19:09
Noskcaj#info Noskcaj updated gthumb to 3.319:09
knomeali1234, but new "features" are in already, just broken?19:09
micahg-workali1234, does the current gtk3 indicator stack need to be uploaded to the archive still or is that waiting on fixes?19:10
ali1234micahg-work: there is nothing new on our side. the problems all exist in the unity stack19:10
Unit193knome: Yes?19:10
ali1234knome: the new features are in some packages and not others19:10
knomeUnit193, please #info that you actually did something!19:10
ali1234that mismatch is half the problem19:10
knomeali1234, okay. then we should get the new features in before FF if at all possible (there's still time)19:11
knomeali1234, but other than that, FF shouldn't be the hard deadline for the fixes, and i'm optimistic of landing those fixes19:11
ali1234i don't know the status of stuff like xfce4-panel actually19:11
micahg-workI uploaded 2 SRUs, but I don't remember which ones19:11
ali1234we can't land any fixes in libindicator3 for example, that is what is currently broken19:12
ali1234and it is broken in unity too, still19:12
Unit193#info Unit193 sent a message to the list about the xubuntu-core meta.19:12
micahg-workali1234, is there a summary of the issues somewhere (or list of bugs)19:12
knome#info lderan made a list of apps that can be ran simple "does it open" tests with autopilot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840722/19:12
ali1234micahg-work: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1185565 and https://code.launchpad.net/~a-j-buxton/libindicator/remove-timeout/+merge/19807019:13

knomeali1234, micahg-work: if you don't mind, i'll add an action item for you to follow up on it and actually fix the stupid issues19:13
knome#action ali1234 and micahg to follow up on gtk3 indicator stack issues19:13
meetingologyACTION: ali1234 and micahg to follow up on gtk3 indicator stack issues19:13
knome#nick micahg19:13
ali1234i already sent a MR, there's nothing more i can do until tedg gets around to fixing it19:13
micahg-workali1234, poke tedg and ask if he has time to review or can hand off to someone else19:14
ali1234i'm poking him once a week already19:14
knomemicahg-work, any possibility you could oversee how that goes? would be good to have more people on top of the issue19:14
ali1234i've spoken to him several times about this already and it's always "yeah, i'm working on it"19:15
ali1234he knows and understands the problems we face19:15
micahg-workwell, that's great, but I don't see why an MR should go 8 weeks without a review 19:16
* micahg-work <-- pot19:16
ali1234because it's part of a much bigger change, basically19:16
micahg-workyes, but there are ways to move these things forward, maybe it should be merged into a branch instead19:17
ali1234there are a bunch of other issues around this too, like under xubuntu it wont actually use upstart to launch indicators, because it's hardcoded to only do that in unity19:17
knomelooking at the bug, not everybody agrees with what is going on19:17
ali1234knome: right19:17
ali1234that's a problem too19:17
knomei guess we're fine to do weekly reminders for a few more weeks19:18
knomeif things do not progress, look at it again then19:18
jjfrv8-worksorry about that. I'm back.19:18
knomei guess another thing you could try, ali1234, is add more reviewers for the MP.19:18
knomejjfrv8-work, np :)19:18
micahg-workrewriting the indicator stack for the LTS seems so wrong...19:19
ali1234right, this is why i mentioned FF and either fix NOW or rollback19:19
micahg-workyeah19:19
knomeas long as gtk3 indicators work for us, i don't mind how this falls19:20
ali1234we can always add the workaround to the environment19:20
knomeali1234, micahg-work: please obey the action item and follow up on it as much as needed :)19:20
knomeand i'm of course also available, if you need something i can do to help.19:20
brainwashmaybe we could already switch to gtk3 indicators and use the workaround (exporting an env var)19:21
micahg-workwait, we're still on GTK2 indicators?19:22
knomesince FF is still somewhat far, i don't think it makes sense to push a workaround and then start using the new "real" fix19:22
ali1234agreed19:22
ali1234but it's always there if we need it19:22
brainwashthe workaround can be reverted easily19:22
knomerather wait until the FF, and if the situation *then* looks stupid, do the workaround19:22
brainwashok19:22
knomebrainwash, it's still more work to get the workaround up than not.19:22
ali1234micahg-work: i'm not sure what is actually in the archive, because i work mainly upstream19:22
micahg-workok19:23
knomewe have to believe things are going to be fixed eventually19:23
Noskcajmicahg-work, i've got the stuff in a PPA, but i'd rather wait for a real release to upload stuff19:23
brainwashyes, Noskcaj's PPA + workaround works fine19:23
Noskcajarchive is all possible 4.11 stuff + garcon git snapshot19:23
micahg-workwhile I generally prefer that, we need baketime for the LTS, now if it'll just be broken in the archive, there's no point in uploading19:24
ali1234it's not as badly broken as gtk2 indicators...19:24
knomewell exactly, my opinion is: hold until nearer to FF19:24
knomeand see if things are fixed and then decide what to do, once, rather than uploading any workarounds now and having to poke around it later19:25
NoskcajIs that for both panel and indicator?19:26
brainwashthere is no panel 4.11 release yet19:27
knomelooks like we're done with this. people involved, please keep in touch with each other.19:28
knome#topic Announcements19:28

knomewhile the T cycle lasts, he will keep on leading, with the assistance of slickymaster 19:29
knomeand if everything goes well, jjfrv8-work should be able to hand over the leader hat to slickymaster at the start of the U cycle19:30
knomeof course, with the approval of the team19:30
* Unit193 approves.19:30

knome#subtopic Enabling more people to push to Xubuntu branches (separate branches team, or would -team do?)19:37
knomemicahg-work, ping19:37
micahg-workyes?19:37
knomesee the subtopic19:37
knomebasically, we'd like to allow more people to be able to push to xubuntu branches19:37
micahg-workdepends on the branches19:37
knome-default-settings19:38
knomemostly, i think19:38
micahg-workwe can separate the branches from the uploaders team19:38
knomemhm19:38
knomedo you think it would be ok to add them under ~xubuntu-team, or would you prefer a new team?19:39
NoskcajI'd suggest we allow -team to modify branches19:39
micahg-workbut I'd prefer to limit the people who can push to people who understand the package and have proven through MRs that they know what they're doing19:39
Unit193Would be best to use merges and have a couple review and approve.19:39
micahg-workyes19:39
knomeok, so something like ~xubuntu-branches19:39
* Unit193 likes to have at least bluesabre take a look.19:39
micahg-workso, I'd basically move the xubuntu-dev team out of the DMB control and we would create a new team for uploaders when someone needs that19:40
micahg-workxubuntu-dev is fine19:40
knomeok,19:40
knomewhen you say "when someone needs that", what are you exactly referring to?19:40
knomewhen somebody gains packageset uploader access?19:40
micahg-workyes19:40
NoskcajThat takes for ever19:41
knomeright, i would hope that happens sometime soon19:41
knomeand rather create a new team for -branches19:41
Noskcajmicahg-work, Is there anything you can do to speed up my application?19:41
NoskcajIt will be a month tomorrow19:41
Noskcajprobably a new record19:41
knomebut i guess i'm fine with doing what you proposed, then create ~xubuntu-dev-upload if/when we need it19:41
micahg-workNoskcaj, it's being discussed19:41
Noskcajok19:42
micahg-workknome, the uploader team would be managed by the DMB, so, nothing to worry about there19:42
knomemicahg-work, sure19:42
knomemicahg-work, can i get back to you on this in a week or so, to land the change19:43
micahg-workland what change?19:43
knomethe LP teams changes, and separating -dev from upload stuff19:43
knomeor would you rather just do it right away, or does it need some ack from the DMB?19:43
micahg-workoh, I just need to discuss quickly with the DMB19:43

knomemicahg-work, do you have any opinion to that discussion?19:46
micahg-workah, so, I think blueman upstream has be revived19:46
Noskcajfyi: i updated blueman last week19:47
knomedo we have a preference? do they all work with indicators, or do we need to consider that kind of issues?19:47
micahg-workis there something better out there, IIRC, blueman was the only one that worked well that didn't pull in half the GNOME stack19:48
knomethen that sounds like a good one to use19:49
knomeif there's no problems with using that...19:49
micahg-workif there's another alternative, I'm all ears, but with the recent resurgence of development on blueman, I think it's a good horse to be hitched to19:49
NoskcajI think blueman has a memory leak though19:49

NoskcajThere's two other memory leaks i know of in xubuntu, so if someone could help me with them after the meeting19:51
micahg-work1 year with no response from reporter , that bug isn't likely to be addressed19:52
Noskcajno19:52
knomecan anybody from the team even confirm that bug?19:52
NoskcajIt's just blueman uses 40mb of ram here and i've never used bluetooth19:53
micahg-workthat doesn't sound like a memory leak as much as not loading on demand19:53
cyphermoxNoskcaj: guess it would be worth running it through massif19:53
micahg-workif you said 400MB, that would sound like a memory leak19:54
NoskcajI'll leave it on during the day to see if i can reproduce it19:54
cyphermoxmicahg-work: it really ought to be running all the time, to be able to get you anything19:54
cyphermoxunless you don't have a bluetooth device of course19:54
micahg-workcyphermox, right, I have that on one machine, bluetooth is off and it's running19:54
cyphermoxah19:54
knomeso i guess the gist is that we should use blueman.19:56
knomegreat, go file bugs!19:56
knome(:19:56
knome#subtopic Discuss documentation translations19:57
knomewe should mostly do this on the docs meeting, but...19:57
elfyummm - so what about testing blueman - forget it ?19:57
knomeright... test it!  :)19:57
micahg-workhrm?19:57
knomemicahg-work, hrm to what?19:58
micahg-workcan launchpad not translate the docs?19:58
micahg-workhrm to test..19:58
knomeit can19:58
knomewe're doing that.19:58
knomewe have the .po files in the branch19:58
elfy#action Someone with bluetooth to write a testcase19:58
meetingologyACTION: Someone with bluetooth to write a testcase19:58
knomebut we need to tweak the packaging to build the translations and display them in a sane way19:59
knomeUnit193 has been helping with that19:59
slickymasterthere are already finish and portuguese versions of the docs19:59
slickymasterfinnish ^^19:59
knomewe also might need/want to set some kind of cut-off percentages, if that's not happening now19:59
knomemicahg-work, if you happen to know about that side as well, poke Unit193 and me..19:59
micahg-worknot too much, I could help on the packaging side20:00
Unit193knome: It was for me, I have that set up but not sure if any sane person would like it. :P20:00
elfyI've gtg - thanks - cya 20:00
knomemicahg-work, that's probably helpful as well20:00
knomebut ok, let's follow up on that20:00

pleia2on the calendar :)20:01
knomeNoskcaj, so what about time- and users-admin?20:01
Unit193Hah, beat me.20:01
Noskcajknome, I have no idea20:01
Noskcajelfy has issues with it, i just did ask pitti asked, since i don't know the package very well20:02
knomeNoskcaj, you can't leave a mess behind.20:02
Noskcaji know. I think i asked elfy to ask pitti about it20:02
knomeNoskcaj, why can't you ask pitti as you were the one who made the changes?20:03
knomei can't see why elfy would need to pick it up20:03
Noskcajgood point. My reasoning was i don't understand the issue20:03
Unit193micahg-work: I changed the packaging locally to be 'dh7' or dh sequencing, and a couple others.20:03
Unit193Noskcaj: Issue is, nothing is installed except 'pixmaps', try installing the package.20:04
Unit193Look at the .install file20:04
NoskcajThat's how debian has it, strangely20:04
knomemaybe the debian package is broken20:04
Unit193knome: No, it's not split up.20:04
knomeokay, then maybe the ubuntu port is broken20:05
knomewhich leads us to... Noskcaj, please fix it. Unit193 just told you what's wrong20:05
Noskcajok20:05
knomethanks20:05
Noskcajon a different topic, do we want xkb-plugin 0.7 ?20:06
Unit193https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools built packages vs http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gnome-system-tools.html binaries.20:06
knomewould also think cleaning your mess would help you gaining access rights20:06
knomere: xkb-plugin; i don't know; is there a very specific reason to have it?20:06
Unit193xkb-plugin?  Is that seeded?20:06
Unit193So it is.20:07
knomei'm off.20:08
Unit193knome: You know what's proper in a Makefile? :P20:08
knomesee you later :)20:08
Unit193Bah.20:08
Unit193Chau.20:08
knomeUnit193, no20:08
Noskcajdebian dropped back off 0.7, it might be worth seeing if we want it. http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/x/xfce4-xkb-plugin/unstable_changelog20:08
knomeyou can tell me and i'll read it when i get back ;)20:08
slickymasterdinner time for. bbl ->20:09
knomeNoskcaj, that doesn't tell much20:09
knomebut yeah, i'm really off20:09
knome ->20:09
Noskcajthe new xkb plugin is for settings 4.11, and the current one might break settings20:20
NoskcajIt will also allow us to patch bug 73356320:21
ubottubug 733563 in xfce4-xkb-plugin (Ubuntu) "Can't change font for keyboard layout indicator" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73356320:21
Unit193slickymaster: Russian is also pretty complete, but not fully.20:24
NoskcajUnit193, you're right, all the files are missing from the binary. I'm guessing it's the extra packages we make20:39
Noskcajhttps://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu/trusty/gnome-system-tools/regression-fix/+merge/20409921:05
ochosihmpf, wasn't able to make the meeting...21:27
Unit193That's alright, we just assigned everything to you.21:30
ochosicool21:33
slickymasteryeah Unit193, Russian is 84% done21:37
slickymasterand GridCube has been keeping himself busy, the Spanish translation is half way through it21:38
ochosiso gtk3-panel and indicators are on hold, eh? :/#21:38
Unit193slickymaster: Not quite >80% yet though, so not autogenerated.22:07
slickymasterok22:08
knomeochosi, until they work, or until we are so close to FF that we will (have to) land them with a workaround22:59
knomeNoskcaj, fixing that bug is nowhere near our top priority23:01
ochosiactually the only indicator that doesn't work for me is appindicator at the moment23:01
ochosisound and power work just fine23:01
* Unit193 downloaded that one from saucy repos, works fine. :P23:01
ochosiyeah, but only because there is no upstart job yet23:02
ochosi(which is why it's borked in the first place i guess)23:02
knomeochosi, the ubuntu folks do not agree on whether they should have upstart jobs or "actually fix" .. something23:03
Unit193I like how they land something that's half transitioned, thus broken. :D23:03
knomeyep23:03
knomebut isn't that how it always goes?23:04
ochosiyeah, but at least the panel we will need if we want gtk3 indicators23:04
knome"ok boys, this cycle, no breaking stuff"23:04
knome"oops we landed that too early"23:04
ochosithat wouldn't be affected by changes to the indicator stack, it would mostly affect xfce4-indicator-plugin23:04
knomeochosi, well you read my reasoning why we want to hold23:04
knomeochosi, or why i want to hold23:04
knomeochosi, the branches stuff is moving forward.23:06
ochosiyeah, looking forward to that23:07
ochosiwe should definitely try to prepare branches for the case that indicators get fixed with upstart jobs (or even: for the case that we use them)23:08
ochosiespecially a default-settings branch and a seed-branch23:08
Unit193Yes, but just swap out the indicator-*-gtk2 for indicator-foo.  That's application and sound.23:11
ochosiwell, and add in -power23:11
ochosi(and set powerman to always hide the trayicon)23:11
Unit193Doesn't xfpm do whatever that does?23:11
Unit193Just because we can't doesn't mean we should.  Something about seeding "all" doesn't make sense either, since that'd be at least: indicator-application indicator-appmenu indicator-appmenu-tools indicator-bluetooth indicator-china-weather indicator-cpufreq indicator-datetime indicator-sync indicator-sound indicator-session indicator-printers indicator-power indicator-network indicator-multiload indicator-messages indicator-location ...23:12
Unit193... indicator-keyboard23:13
ochosiyeah, seeding sound, application, power and if needed bluetooth seems good enough23:20
Unit193Bleh. :P23:21
knomeprinters?23:21
ochosii think they use app-indicators atm23:21
knomebluesabre, just don't take too much on your plate :)23:27
Unit193^ +123:27
knomebluesabre, but i just wanted to let you know people are asking about that23:27
Unit193I'm still interested as well, I wouldn't purge that.23:27
knomesame.23:28
brainwashochosi: and messages?23:28
ochosiyeah, guess also messages23:28
brainwashwhat about printers?23:29
ochosibut i don't have a strong opinion on messages as i've never used it23:29
ochosiafaik printers use indicator-application atm23:29
Unit193Already have something for printers.23:29
knomemy take on it is that some people like it, some people hate it23:29
ochosilike/hate what?23:30
ochosimessaging?23:30
ochosierr, -messages?23:30
knomeyep23:30
ochosiwell i don't have a strong opinion because i've never tried how well it works with out default messaging apps23:31
knomeyep23:31
ochosi(thunderbird, pidgin..)23:31
knomewell,23:31
knomeit could be a make-or-break thing for *single* users, but not the distro23:31
bluesabrefrom my experience, it works great for pidgin and thunderbird23:35
Unit193Quassel is iffy.23:35
bluesabre(finally caught up)23:35
Unit193Click any notification bubbles and up pops quassel...23:36
bluesabrebut... thats not the indicator23:36
bluesabre:23:36
Unit193Right.23:37
Unit193(Quassel works with the indicator though, sort of.)23:37
bluesabreanybody else think action buttons at the top of a window are stupid? http://worldofgnome.org/a-redesigned-file-picker-4-gnome-mockups/23:38
Unit193Very.23:39
Unit193When the Windows Metro UI is starting to look sane....23:40
bluesabre:)23:40
bluesabrebtw, adding these packages could be a value-add: libappindicator1    libappindicator3-123:40
knomevalue added tax?23:41
bluesabrethey're not pulled by the indicator stack, or indicator-application, yet they are required for skype and dropbox indicators (with no documentation)23:41
bluesabreand probably others as well23:42
Unit193Package: nautilus-dropbox -> Recommends: libappindicator123:42
bluesabreit might be the 3-1 that is required then23:43
bluesabrethere is an askubuntu about it somewhere23:43
bluesabreanyway, :_23:43
bluesabre)23:43
Unit193indicator-application: Depends: libappindicator3-1  same with network-manager-gnome.23:43
* bluesabre will do more research to figure out what the lib is later23:44
Unit193libappindicator3-1 is even pulled in onto xubuntu-core, which doesn't even have the indicators. :D23:45
* bluesabre returns to programming23:45
Unit193bluesabre: Yes, and when you figure out why there is a libappindicator1, libappindicator3-1, libindicate5, libindicator3-7, and libindicator7 tell us?? :P23:45
Unit193Sure, have fun!23:46
bluesabrebecause ubuntu!23:46
ali1234the ones with -3 are the gtk versions23:47
ali1234gtk3 versions23:47
Unit193libappindicator3-1 and libindicator3-7 are hard deps from something because -core pulls those two (and those are the only *indicat* packages.)23:47
Unit193Ah, hrm.23:47
ali1234appindicator is how all apps make their own indicators23:47
ali1234you either use appindicator, or you integrate with an existing indicator (sound, message...)23:48
ochosiyeah, which makes it suck even more that that one is currently not working in trusty :/23:48
ali1234appindicator = indicator-application23:48
ochosiyeah23:48
ali1234libindicator5 = i have no idea what that is23:48
Unit193libappindicator1 gtk2, libappindicator3-1 gtk3 and they are for the indicator-application, OK.23:49
ochosifrankly, i've been wondering since saucy whether we should just try to avoid indicators in our default panel layout23:49
Unit1935 is what threw me off, this all makes more sense now except for that.23:49
knomeochosi, sucks for laptop users23:49
ochosithere was once talk of an mpris2 plugin for the xfce-panel23:49
ochosiknome: why?23:49
knomebattery indicator?23:50
Unit193ali1234: Thanks.23:50
knomeor is there still components for the notification area?23:50
ochosiknome: we never had an indicator for that23:50
ochosithat was always a trayicon23:50
knomewhat about sound?23:50
Unit193!info volumeicon23:50
ubottuPackage volumeicon does not exist in saucy23:50
ochosithat is an indicator, actually the only real one we have23:50
Unit193!info volumeicon-alsa23:50
ubottuvolumeicon-alsa (source: volumeicon): systray volume icon for alsa. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.6-2 (saucy), package size 37 kB, installed size 181 kB (Only available for linux-any)23:50
brainwashxfce4-mixer plugin23:50
Unit193Boom.23:50
knomealsa, meh23:50
ochosiUnit193: we need something for pulse though23:50
ali1234basically without indicators you are stuck using the horrible crappy and broken tray icons, or writing xfce panel plugins23:51
knomeochosi, ^ that might be your winning answer23:51
Unit193ochosi: Well, that source package now supports pulse.23:51
knomei don't think migrating to indicators *itself* is too bad...23:51
ali1234if you think indicators are bad, tray icons are 100x worse23:51
bluesabreyes23:51
ochosiyeah, i agree that trayicons suck23:51
brainwashwhy do they suck?23:51
knomeaaand we have a winner ;)23:52
knomecongrats ali1234 23:52
ali1234no multimonitor support, not process separation...23:52
bluesabrething is, everything will be significantly easier once there is an official gtk3 xfce4-panel23:52
knomebluesabre, now you're kidding ;)23:52
bluesabreno more hacky workarounds23:52
bluesabrewhen we get that 23:52
bluesabrein 201723:52
ochosiwell in fact the current git-panel handles it okay23:52
knomebesides, didn't you go back to programming?23:52
bluesabreafter gtk5 is out23:52
knomeochosi, isn't that what we're going to land in T?23:52
ali1234there wont be a gtk523:52
bluesabrethere's interesting discussion here23:52
ali1234there will be nothing left to remove by gtk423:53
knomeprocrastinating, i see23:53
bluesabrehaha23:53
ochosianyhow, i think i'll try to do releases for our themes now, adding in support for gtk3 indicators, in case they ever land...23:53
ochosiali1234: hehe, good point23:53
knomeochosi, they will, one way or another23:53
bluesabreali1234: what about all the stuff they are adding in gtk3? they can get rid of that :)23:53
knomeochosi, they aren't on infinite hold, just "for now"23:53
knomeochosi, don't worry!23:53
knomei hate to see ochosi sad23:54
ochosiknome: yeah, trying hard to start loving the bomb...23:54
=== ochosi is now known as dr_strangelove
knomei hate even more when ochosi is ironic, but kind of right23:55
dr_strangelovemaybe that helps23:55
dr_strangelovemeh, doesn't seem to help...23:55
=== dr_strangelove is now known as ochosi
ochosiali1234: quick question, as that's kinda relevant for our default panel setup, are you aiming at 14.04 with panel-switch?23:56
ali1234no, not really23:56
ochosiokey23:56
knomeali1234, maybe you should ;)23:56
knomepush, push, push!23:56
ali1234i noticed that debian has a tool for this already23:56
ali1234when you first log in it asks you what layout you want23:57
knomedoes it bring half of gnome?23:57
ali1234you only get two choices though23:57
ali1234i dunno, it's installed y default23:57
ochosithat sounds nice actually23:57
ochosii mean only being asked once is kinda "hmmm"23:57
ochosibut still23:57
knomedoesn't allow experimenting23:58
knomeso it's really "meh"23:58
