[02:45] ochosi: So only thing we're waiting for is knome to ack and someone to upload, right? Everyone is fine with their email/name/etc? [02:46] ack from my side. [02:54] You don't even know if I filled it with rats or something. [02:55] we'll find out... [02:59] Did anyone save the rejected ones? [03:00] no, they were infinitely deleted from the planet earth [03:00] Bummer. [03:01] they are still in /Accepted [03:01] and in a secret tarball somewhere [03:01] and my, ochosi's and probably pleia2's harddrives [03:14] mine too [03:14] * bluesabre is sneaky [06:07] Unit193: i've sent them all an email together, let's give them until after the weekend to respond. just in case someone doesnt want their email or realname there... [06:14] Unit193: so far i only collected the infos, only one of them has ack'ed it expressis verbis [06:15] Sure, it'd take a while to get it up anywho. [06:16] menulibre is now updated, mugshot is upload ready [06:16] and i'll do parole later tonight [06:17] i presume 0.6? [06:19] yeah [06:24] cool [06:39] mugshot's uploaded, but in NEW [07:36] lderan: thanks - seen the pastebin [08:54] I'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? [09:01] Ah, /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [09:31] morning all [10:29] work meeting [10:29] bbl after lunch -> [11:26] zequence: 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. [11:31] Unit193: It's for the next version of the application ubuntustudio-controls, and the idea is that it should autostart on any DE [11:32] There's a way to make it only start on certain DEs though, specified in the desktop file [11:32] even if put in /etc/xdg/autostart [11:33] Yep, and to exclude a few. [11:33] OnlyShowIn, NotShownIn. [14:08] bug 880533 [14:08] bug 880533 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar reports Trash Empty when it is not" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/880533 [14:09] not yet fixed, delete a file and relog to reproduce it [14:22] brainwash, where's your patch for the bug? [14:56] knome: work in progress I guess [15:25] does anyone here use whisker menu? [15:27] if 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? [15:30] nevermind, it's a known issue [15:31] * pmjdebruijn uses 1.3.1 backported to saucy [15:34] https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/issues/37 [15:34] BUT it might affect more/all external panel plugins [15:35] occasionally it happens to the places plugin too [15:35] sounds like a panel bug? [15:36] could be, marking whisker menu as internal plugin apparently resolves the glitch [15:36] btw in the next intel video driver there are going to be some nice fixes, which are relevant for xfwm [15:36] brainwash: huh? [15:37] "Something else that also solved the bug for me was making the plugin internal instead of external." [15:38] you mean SNA related fixes? [15:38] define internal vs external? [15:38] brainwash: indeed [15:38] I helped troubleshoot like 5+ bugs in grand total [15:38] 2 were xfwm artifacts with sna [15:38] and 3 were TearFree related (which defaults to off) [15:39] ppor dev, he is working on SNA on a daily base, but it still causes so many glitches [15:39] tearfree related? did not notice anything odd [15:40] do you have tearfree enabled i nthe intel driver? [15:40] (not xfwm) [15:40] currently not, but I did enable it occasionally [15:40] will latest git master it should finally be reliable [15:40] I hit a lot of issues using chromium [15:40] but didn't notice anything strange [15:41] chromium :) [15:41] other than the expected performance loss [15:41] oh ok [15:41] there were lots of cornercases :) [15:41] firefox here [15:41] yeah didn't have any issues there either [15:41] and I had some weird issue with scummvm :) [15:41] like I said, I helped troubleshoot 5 (or 6?) issues by now :) [15:41] ickle did the hard work of actually fixing stuff [15:42] awesome :) [15:42] just trying to get the intel driver in as best shape as possible for the next LTS [15:43] hopefully we get all the fixes to land in trusty [15:44] and regarding internal/external -> https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/issues/37#issuecomment-29758966 [15:45] I assume that the internal plugins are all those which ship with xfce4-panel [15:45] app menu, window buttons,.. [15:46] I'll file a report against xfce4-panel after some more testing [15:51] * slickymaster damns his work internet connection [15:55] slickymaster, yes (re: docs meeting) [15:55] any reason not o? [15:55] to [15:55] knome: ok, just lost connectivity and didn't notice [15:55] if you've answer [15:55] it's ok with me [15:55] ;) [16:42] pmjdebruijn: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10656 [16:42] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 10656 in General "Dragging a panel window button turns external panel plugin black" [Normal,New] [17:33] knome: I have to go and pick up my kid at school. will be back in about 45 minutes [17:33] -> [18:01] nice, fixed power-indicator already landed in trusty (with support for xfce4-powerman) [18:59] if I disappear unexpectedly, it's because I've got like a triple remote connection going on here [18:59] hah, sounds fun [18:59] if it stays up :) [18:59] #startmeeting Xubuntu community meeting [18:59] Meeting started Thu Jan 30 18:59:47 2014 UTC.

[19:08] #info knome, ochosi and pleia2 held a meeting and selected the winners for the community wallpapers [19:08] some changes were pushed to the indicators but still no fix to the core library problems afaik [19:08] #info knome did housecleaning on the blueprints [19:08] ali1234, ok, cheers [19:08] #info mugshot in debian NEW [19:08] #info menulibre updated [19:09] #info parole 0.6 in ubuntu repos [19:09] Noskcaj, i'd appreciate "#info Noskcaj did ..." (easier for the team reports) [19:09] ok. [19:09] it's looking a lot like we'll have to wait until feature freeze and then demand it's either fixed or rolled back [19:09] #info slickymaster started to work on migrating Mugshot documentation into docbook format [19:09] #info Noskcaj updated gthumb to 3.3 [19:09] ali1234, but new "features" are in already, just broken? [19:10] ali1234, does the current gtk3 indicator stack need to be uploaded to the archive still or is that waiting on fixes? [19:10] micahg-work: there is nothing new on our side. the problems all exist in the unity stack [19:10] knome: Yes? [19:10] knome: the new features are in some packages and not others [19:10] Unit193, please #info that you actually did something! [19:10] that mismatch is half the problem [19:11] ali1234, okay. then we should get the new features in before FF if at all possible (there's still time) [19:11] ali1234, but other than that, FF shouldn't be the hard deadline for the fixes, and i'm optimistic of landing those fixes [19:11] i don't know the status of stuff like xfce4-panel actually [19:11] I uploaded 2 SRUs, but I don't remember which ones [19:12] we can't land any fixes in libindicator3 for example, that is what is currently broken [19:12] and it is broken in unity too, still [19:12] #info Unit193 sent a message to the list about the xubuntu-core meta. [19:12] ali1234, is there a summary of the issues somewhere (or list of bugs) [19:12] #info lderan made a list of apps that can be ran simple "does it open" tests with autopilot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840722/ [19:13] micahg-work: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1185565 and https://code.launchpad.net/~a-j-buxton/libindicator/remove-timeout/+merge/198070 [19:13] Launchpad bug 1185565 in libindicator "Indicators should have Upstart jobs" [Medium,Confirmed] [19:13] ali1234, 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 issues [19:13] #action ali1234 and micahg to follow up on gtk3 indicator stack issues [19:13] ACTION: ali1234 and micahg to follow up on gtk3 indicator stack issues [19:13] #nick micahg [19:13] i already sent a MR, there's nothing more i can do until tedg gets around to fixing it [19:14] ali1234, poke tedg and ask if he has time to review or can hand off to someone else [19:14] i'm poking him once a week already [19:14] micahg-work, any possibility you could oversee how that goes? would be good to have more people on top of the issue [19:15] i've spoken to him several times about this already and it's always "yeah, i'm working on it" [19:15] he knows and understands the problems we face [19:16] well, that's great, but I don't see why an MR should go 8 weeks without a review [19:16] * micahg-work <-- pot [19:16] because it's part of a much bigger change, basically [19:17] yes, but there are ways to move these things forward, maybe it should be merged into a branch instead [19:17] there 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 unity [19:17] looking at the bug, not everybody agrees with what is going on [19:17] knome: right [19:17] that's a problem too [19:18] i guess we're fine to do weekly reminders for a few more weeks [19:18] if things do not progress, look at it again then [19:18] sorry about that. I'm back. [19:18] i guess another thing you could try, ali1234, is add more reviewers for the MP. [19:18] jjfrv8-work, np :) [19:19] rewriting the indicator stack for the LTS seems so wrong... [19:19] right, this is why i mentioned FF and either fix NOW or rollback [19:19] yeah [19:20] as long as gtk3 indicators work for us, i don't mind how this falls [19:20] we can always add the workaround to the environment [19:20] ali1234, micahg-work: please obey the action item and follow up on it as much as needed :) [19:20] and i'm of course also available, if you need something i can do to help. [19:21] maybe we could already switch to gtk3 indicators and use the workaround (exporting an env var) [19:22] wait, we're still on GTK2 indicators? [19:22] since FF is still somewhat far, i don't think it makes sense to push a workaround and then start using the new "real" fix [19:22] agreed [19:22] but it's always there if we need it [19:22] the workaround can be reverted easily [19:22] rather wait until the FF, and if the situation *then* looks stupid, do the workaround [19:22] ok [19:22] brainwash, it's still more work to get the workaround up than not. [19:22] micahg-work: i'm not sure what is actually in the archive, because i work mainly upstream [19:23] ok [19:23] we have to believe things are going to be fixed eventually [19:23] micahg-work, i've got the stuff in a PPA, but i'd rather wait for a real release to upload stuff [19:23] yes, Noskcaj's PPA + workaround works fine [19:23] archive is all possible 4.11 stuff + garcon git snapshot [19:24] while 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 uploading [19:24] it's not as badly broken as gtk2 indicators... [19:24] well exactly, my opinion is: hold until nearer to FF [19:25] and see if things are fixed and then decide what to do, once, rather than uploading any workarounds now and having to poke around it later [19:26] Is that for both panel and indicator? [19:27] there is no panel 4.11 release yet [19:28] looks like we're done with this. people involved, please keep in touch with each other. [19:28] #topic Announcements [19:28] i have one! [19:28] at the end of the T cycle, jjfrv8-work will step from the doc lead position. [19:29] while the T cycle lasts, he will keep on leading, with the assistance of slickymaster [19:30] and if everything goes well, jjfrv8-work should be able to hand over the leader hat to slickymaster at the start of the U cycle [19:30] of course, with the approval of the team [19:30] * Unit193 approves. [19:30] * elfy approves [19:30] * pleia2 approves [19:31] we are going to have a meeting on docs issues sometime soon, where those two can update each other on the situation etc. [19:31] * Noskcaj approves the approvals [19:31] sure [19:31] (well the approval should happen later, when U cycle is starting :P) [19:31] so, anybody interested in docs... hear hear! [19:31] jjfrv8-work, slickymaster: you around to schedule? [19:31] yeaps [19:31] yes [19:32] whatever time works for you two is the best [19:32] next week before/after the community meeting? [19:33] next week I should be pretty flexible [19:33] next week is my ubuntu membership meeting [19:33] it depends on how much it will eventually take [19:33] friday though, isn't that it [19:34] on the UM meeting ins on the 6th [19:34] is^^ [19:34] aha [19:34] then i've mismarked that on my calendar ;) [19:34] what about wednesday 19utc then? [19:35] ok with me [19:35] fine with me, also [19:35] ok, that's it [19:35] #info Documentation checkup meeting on Wednesday, Feb 5 at 19UTC [19:36] aaand thanks for both jjfrv8-work and slickymaster for all the work they have done this far and will do in the future! [19:36] any other announcements? [19:36] * pleia2 adds to calendar [19:36] pleia2, ta [19:36] pleia2, you can add thu 19utc as the community meeting while you're at it [19:37] ok, moving on [19:37] #topic Agenda [19:37] #subtopic Enabling more people to push to Xubuntu branches (separate branches team, or would -team do?) [19:37] micahg-work, ping [19:37] yes? [19:37] see the subtopic [19:37] basically, we'd like to allow more people to be able to push to xubuntu branches [19:37] depends on the branches [19:38] -default-settings [19:38] mostly, i think [19:38] we can separate the branches from the uploaders team [19:38] mhm [19:39] do you think it would be ok to add them under ~xubuntu-team, or would you prefer a new team? [19:39] I'd suggest we allow -team to modify branches [19:39] but 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 doing [19:39] Would be best to use merges and have a couple review and approve. [19:39] yes [19:39] ok, so something like ~xubuntu-branches [19:39] * Unit193 likes to have at least bluesabre take a look. [19:40] so, 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 that [19:40] xubuntu-dev is fine [19:40] ok, [19:40] when you say "when someone needs that", what are you exactly referring to? [19:40] when somebody gains packageset uploader access? [19:40] yes [19:41] That takes for ever [19:41] right, i would hope that happens sometime soon [19:41] and rather create a new team for -branches [19:41] micahg-work, Is there anything you can do to speed up my application? [19:41] It will be a month tomorrow [19:41] probably a new record [19:41] but i guess i'm fine with doing what you proposed, then create ~xubuntu-dev-upload if/when we need it [19:41] Noskcaj, it's being discussed [19:42] ok [19:42] knome, the uploader team would be managed by the DMB, so, nothing to worry about there [19:42] micahg-work, sure [19:43] micahg-work, can i get back to you on this in a week or so, to land the change [19:43] land what change? [19:43] the LP teams changes, and separating -dev from upload stuff [19:43] or would you rather just do it right away, or does it need some ack from the DMB? [19:43] oh, I just need to discuss quickly with the DMB [19:43] ok, sure [19:44] #action micahg to talk with the DMB and separate -dev from upload rights so we can allow more people to push to xubuntu branches [19:44] ACTION: micahg to talk with the DMB and separate -dev from upload rights so we can allow more people to push to xubuntu branches [19:44] #info if we need packageset uploader rights for certain people later, we shall create a new team for that purpose [19:45] nope [19:45] DMB would create that [19:45] #undo [19:45] Removing item from minutes: [19:45] #info if we need packageset uploader rights for certain people later, we shall ask DMB to create a new team for that purpose [19:46] nitpicking says me! [19:46] #subtopic Status of Bluetooth in Xubuntu; what kind of testing we want to run, which software we want to use? [19:46] micahg-work, do you have any opinion to that discussion? [19:46] ah, so, I think blueman upstream has be revived [19:47] fyi: i updated blueman last week [19:47] do we have a preference? do they all work with indicators, or do we need to consider that kind of issues? [19:48] is there something better out there, IIRC, blueman was the only one that worked well that didn't pull in half the GNOME stack [19:49] then that sounds like a good one to use [19:49] if there's no problems with using that... [19:49] if 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 to [19:49] I think blueman has a memory leak though [19:50] there are no big alternatives really [19:50] memleaks are fixable ;) [19:50] * micahg-work waves to cyphermox [19:50] * cyphermox waves back [19:51] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700863 [19:51] Debian bug 700863 in blueman "blueman-applet eats up memory" [Important,Open] [19:51] There's two other memory leaks i know of in xubuntu, so if someone could help me with them after the meeting [19:52] 1 year with no response from reporter , that bug isn't likely to be addressed [19:52] no [19:52] can anybody from the team even confirm that bug? [19:53] It's just blueman uses 40mb of ram here and i've never used bluetooth [19:53] that doesn't sound like a memory leak as much as not loading on demand [19:53] Noskcaj: guess it would be worth running it through massif [19:54] if you said 400MB, that would sound like a memory leak [19:54] I'll leave it on during the day to see if i can reproduce it [19:54] micahg-work: it really ought to be running all the time, to be able to get you anything [19:54] unless you don't have a bluetooth device of course [19:54] cyphermox, right, I have that on one machine, bluetooth is off and it's running [19:54] ah [19:56] so i guess the gist is that we should use blueman. [19:56] great, go file bugs! [19:56] (: [19:57] #subtopic Discuss documentation translations [19:57] we should mostly do this on the docs meeting, but... [19:57] ummm - so what about testing blueman - forget it ? [19:57] right... test it! :) [19:57] hrm? [19:58] micahg-work, hrm to what? [19:58] can launchpad not translate the docs? [19:58] hrm to test.. [19:58] it can [19:58] we're doing that. [19:58] we have the .po files in the branch [19:58] #action Someone with bluetooth to write a testcase [19:58] ACTION: Someone with bluetooth to write a testcase [19:59] but we need to tweak the packaging to build the translations and display them in a sane way [19:59] Unit193 has been helping with that [19:59] there are already finish and portuguese versions of the docs [19:59] finnish ^^ [19:59] we also might need/want to set some kind of cut-off percentages, if that's not happening now [19:59] micahg-work, if you happen to know about that side as well, poke Unit193 and me.. [20:00] not too much, I could help on the packaging side [20:00] knome: It was for me, I have that set up but not sure if any sane person would like it. :P [20:00] I've gtg - thanks - cya [20:00] micahg-work, that's probably helpful as well [20:00] but ok, let's follow up on that [20:00] #topic Schedule next meeting [20:01] #info Next meeting Thursday, Feb 6, 19UTC [20:01] #endmeeting [20:01] Meeting ended Thu Jan 30 20:01:21 2014 UTC. [20:01] Minutes (wiki): http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2014/xubuntu-devel.2014-01-30-18.59.moin.txt [20:01] Minutes (html): http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2014/xubuntu-devel.2014-01-30-18.59.html [20:01] on the calendar :) [20:01] Noskcaj, so what about time- and users-admin? [20:01] Hah, beat me. [20:01] knome, I have no idea [20:02] elfy has issues with it, i just did ask pitti asked, since i don't know the package very well [20:02] Noskcaj, you can't leave a mess behind. [20:02] i know. I think i asked elfy to ask pitti about it [20:03] Noskcaj, why can't you ask pitti as you were the one who made the changes? [20:03] i can't see why elfy would need to pick it up [20:03] good point. My reasoning was i don't understand the issue [20:03] micahg-work: I changed the packaging locally to be 'dh7' or dh sequencing, and a couple others. [20:04] Noskcaj: Issue is, nothing is installed except 'pixmaps', try installing the package. [20:04] Look at the .install file [20:04] That's how debian has it, strangely [20:04] maybe the debian package is broken [20:04] knome: No, it's not split up. [20:05] okay, then maybe the ubuntu port is broken [20:05] which leads us to... Noskcaj, please fix it. Unit193 just told you what's wrong [20:05] ok [20:05] thanks [20:06] on a different topic, do we want xkb-plugin 0.7 ? [20:06] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools built packages vs http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gnome-system-tools.html binaries. [20:06] would also think cleaning your mess would help you gaining access rights [20:06] re: xkb-plugin; i don't know; is there a very specific reason to have it? [20:06] xkb-plugin? Is that seeded? [20:07] So it is. [20:08] i'm off. [20:08] knome: You know what's proper in a Makefile? :P [20:08] see you later :) [20:08] Bah. [20:08] Chau. [20:08] Unit193, no [20:08] debian 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_changelog [20:08] you can tell me and i'll read it when i get back ;) [20:09] dinner time for. bbl -> [20:09] Noskcaj, that doesn't tell much [20:09] but yeah, i'm really off [20:09] -> [20:20] the new xkb plugin is for settings 4.11, and the current one might break settings [20:21] It will also allow us to patch bug 733563 [20:21] bug 733563 in xfce4-xkb-plugin (Ubuntu) "Can't change font for keyboard layout indicator" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/733563 [20:24] slickymaster: Russian is also pretty complete, but not fully. [20:39] Unit193, you're right, all the files are missing from the binary. I'm guessing it's the extra packages we make [21:05] https://code.launchpad.net/~noskcaj/ubuntu/trusty/gnome-system-tools/regression-fix/+merge/204099 [21:27] hmpf, wasn't able to make the meeting... [21:30] That's alright, we just assigned everything to you. [21:33] cool [21:37] yeah Unit193, Russian is 84% done [21:38] and GridCube has been keeping himself busy, the Spanish translation is half way through it [21:38] so gtk3-panel and indicators are on hold, eh? :/# [22:07] slickymaster: Not quite >80% yet though, so not autogenerated. [22:08] ok [22:59] ochosi, until they work, or until we are so close to FF that we will (have to) land them with a workaround [23:01] Noskcaj, fixing that bug is nowhere near our top priority [23:01] actually the only indicator that doesn't work for me is appindicator at the moment [23:01] sound and power work just fine [23:01] * Unit193 downloaded that one from saucy repos, works fine. :P [23:02] yeah, but only because there is no upstart job yet [23:02] (which is why it's borked in the first place i guess) [23:03] ochosi, the ubuntu folks do not agree on whether they should have upstart jobs or "actually fix" .. something [23:03] I like how they land something that's half transitioned, thus broken. :D [23:03] yep [23:04] but isn't that how it always goes? [23:04] yeah, but at least the panel we will need if we want gtk3 indicators [23:04] "ok boys, this cycle, no breaking stuff" [23:04] "oops we landed that too early" [23:04] that wouldn't be affected by changes to the indicator stack, it would mostly affect xfce4-indicator-plugin [23:04] ochosi, well you read my reasoning why we want to hold [23:04] ochosi, or why i want to hold [23:06] ochosi, the branches stuff is moving forward. [23:07] yeah, looking forward to that [23:08] we 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] especially a default-settings branch and a seed-branch [23:11] Yes, but just swap out the indicator-*-gtk2 for indicator-foo. That's application and sound. [23:11] well, and add in -power [23:11] (and set powerman to always hide the trayicon) [23:11] Doesn't xfpm do whatever that does? [23:12] Just 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 ... [23:13] ... indicator-keyboard [23:20] yeah, seeding sound, application, power and if needed bluetooth seems good enough [23:21] Bleh. :P [23:21] printers? [23:21] i think they use app-indicators atm [23:27] bluesabre, just don't take too much on your plate :) [23:27] ^ +1 [23:27] bluesabre, but i just wanted to let you know people are asking about that [23:27] I'm still interested as well, I wouldn't purge that. [23:28] same. [23:28] ochosi: and messages? [23:28] yeah, guess also messages [23:29] what about printers? [23:29] but i don't have a strong opinion on messages as i've never used it [23:29] afaik printers use indicator-application atm [23:29] Already have something for printers. [23:29] my take on it is that some people like it, some people hate it [23:30] like/hate what? [23:30] messaging? [23:30] err, -messages? [23:30] yep [23:31] well i don't have a strong opinion because i've never tried how well it works with out default messaging apps [23:31] yep [23:31] (thunderbird, pidgin..) [23:31] well, [23:31] it could be a make-or-break thing for *single* users, but not the distro [23:35] from my experience, it works great for pidgin and thunderbird [23:35] Quassel is iffy. [23:35] (finally caught up) [23:36] Click any notification bubbles and up pops quassel... [23:36] but... thats not the indicator [23:36] : [23:37] Right. [23:37] (Quassel works with the indicator though, sort of.) [23:38] anybody else think action buttons at the top of a window are stupid? http://worldofgnome.org/a-redesigned-file-picker-4-gnome-mockups/ [23:39] Very. [23:40] When the Windows Metro UI is starting to look sane.... [23:40] :) [23:40] btw, adding these packages could be a value-add: libappindicator1 libappindicator3-1 [23:41] value added tax? [23:41] they're not pulled by the indicator stack, or indicator-application, yet they are required for skype and dropbox indicators (with no documentation) [23:42] and probably others as well [23:42] Package: nautilus-dropbox -> Recommends: libappindicator1 [23:43] it might be the 3-1 that is required then [23:43] there is an askubuntu about it somewhere [23:43] anyway, :_ [23:43] ) [23:43] indicator-application: Depends: libappindicator3-1 same with network-manager-gnome. [23:44] * bluesabre will do more research to figure out what the lib is later [23:45] libappindicator3-1 is even pulled in onto xubuntu-core, which doesn't even have the indicators. :D [23:45] * bluesabre returns to programming [23:45] bluesabre: Yes, and when you figure out why there is a libappindicator1, libappindicator3-1, libindicate5, libindicator3-7, and libindicator7 tell us?? :P [23:46] Sure, have fun! [23:46] because ubuntu! [23:47] the ones with -3 are the gtk versions [23:47] gtk3 versions [23:47] libappindicator3-1 and libindicator3-7 are hard deps from something because -core pulls those two (and those are the only *indicat* packages.) [23:47] Ah, hrm. [23:47] appindicator is how all apps make their own indicators [23:48] you either use appindicator, or you integrate with an existing indicator (sound, message...) [23:48] yeah, which makes it suck even more that that one is currently not working in trusty :/ [23:48] appindicator = indicator-application [23:48] yeah [23:48] libindicator5 = i have no idea what that is [23:49] libappindicator1 gtk2, libappindicator3-1 gtk3 and they are for the indicator-application, OK. [23:49] frankly, i've been wondering since saucy whether we should just try to avoid indicators in our default panel layout [23:49] 5 is what threw me off, this all makes more sense now except for that. [23:49] ochosi, sucks for laptop users [23:49] there was once talk of an mpris2 plugin for the xfce-panel [23:49] knome: why? [23:50] battery indicator? [23:50] ali1234: Thanks. [23:50] or is there still components for the notification area? [23:50] knome: we never had an indicator for that [23:50] that was always a trayicon [23:50] what about sound? [23:50] !info volumeicon [23:50] Package volumeicon does not exist in saucy [23:50] that is an indicator, actually the only real one we have [23:50] !info volumeicon-alsa [23:50] volumeicon-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] xfce4-mixer plugin [23:50] Boom. [23:50] alsa, meh [23:50] Unit193: we need something for pulse though [23:51] basically without indicators you are stuck using the horrible crappy and broken tray icons, or writing xfce panel plugins [23:51] ochosi, ^ that might be your winning answer [23:51] ochosi: Well, that source package now supports pulse. [23:51] i don't think migrating to indicators *itself* is too bad... [23:51] if you think indicators are bad, tray icons are 100x worse [23:51] yes [23:51] yeah, i agree that trayicons suck [23:51] why do they suck? [23:52] aaand we have a winner ;) [23:52] congrats ali1234 [23:52] no multimonitor support, not process separation... [23:52] thing is, everything will be significantly easier once there is an official gtk3 xfce4-panel [23:52] bluesabre, now you're kidding ;) [23:52] no more hacky workarounds [23:52] when we get that [23:52] in 2017 [23:52] well in fact the current git-panel handles it okay [23:52] besides, didn't you go back to programming? [23:52] after gtk5 is out [23:52] ochosi, isn't that what we're going to land in T? [23:52] there wont be a gtk5 [23:52] there's interesting discussion here [23:53] there will be nothing left to remove by gtk4 [23:53] procrastinating, i see [23:53] haha [23:53] anyhow, 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] ali1234: hehe, good point [23:53] ochosi, they will, one way or another [23:53] ali1234: what about all the stuff they are adding in gtk3? they can get rid of that :) [23:53] ochosi, they aren't on infinite hold, just "for now" [23:53] ochosi, don't worry! [23:54] i hate to see ochosi sad [23:54] knome: yeah, trying hard to start loving the bomb... === ochosi is now known as dr_strangelove [23:55] i hate even more when ochosi is ironic, but kind of right [23:55] maybe that helps [23:55] meh, doesn't seem to help... === dr_strangelove is now known as ochosi [23:56] ali1234: quick question, as that's kinda relevant for our default panel setup, are you aiming at 14.04 with panel-switch? [23:56] no, not really [23:56] okey [23:56] ali1234, maybe you should ;) [23:56] push, push, push! [23:56] i noticed that debian has a tool for this already [23:57] when you first log in it asks you what layout you want [23:57] does it bring half of gnome? [23:57] you only get two choices though [23:57] i dunno, it's installed y default [23:57] that sounds nice actually [23:57] i mean only being asked once is kinda "hmmm" [23:57] but still [23:58] doesn't allow experimenting [23:58] so it's really "meh"
