Unit193jjfrv8: I've added you as reviewer simply because you are docs lead.02:00
Noskcajochosi, I'll take a look later tonight04:33
Noskcajochosi, Are there any other patches i should cherry pick?04:48
slickymaster-jobmorning all09:58
elfymorning slickymaster-job 09:58
slickymaster-jobhi elfy, good morning09:59
elfyknome: you seen the numbers on the package tracker lately - certainly appears that calling for sections every fortnight or so works 10:45
knomeelfy, no, i have to confess i haven't been looking too much (implies you're doing your job well)10:46
elfylol10:46
knomebut great to hear it's working :)10:46
knomei seriously need to start running tests for the betas10:46
elfywell ... when beta tests come up - and I report for the blog - I will have 2 lists. 1 for people and another for people in -team :p10:47
knomegood10:51
Unit193ochosi: And present extension in trusty too.12:05
pmjdebruijnochosi: hey12:06
pmjdebruijnochosi: https://github.com/pmjdebruijn/xcalibrator12:06
pmjdebruijnochosi: but that uses a colorimeter though12:06
pmjdebruijnit's not the gamma thing12:07
ochosiUnit193: yeah, i know, i noticed a few days ago (and thought i even posted that here)12:07
ochosipmjdebruijn: oh, cool!12:07
Unit193ochosi: Couldn't remember if you did about Debian or trusty, and backlog isn't there.12:07
ochosiUnit193: afair from what ali1234 said, you also need a rather bleeding edge intel driver for the present extension...12:08
ochosipmjdebruijn: so this is for calibrating, or does it also load the color-profile in the session daemon-like?12:09
pmjdebruijnit requires xiccd for that12:10
pmjdebruijnxiccd/colord12:10
pmjdebruijnin xfce's case12:10
pmjdebruijnwhich I have packaged on a ppa :)12:10
Unit193And I presume  * Merge from Debian git.  isn't enough. :/12:10
pmjdebruijnochosi: it's really silly, I put xfce4-terminal into fullscreen mode, to make it look less like a script :)12:11
ochosipmjdebruijn: haha, nice :) well you could've also used zenity or something ;)12:11
ochosialthough i'm not sure in what shape that is today12:11
ochosibeen ages that i used it12:11
pmjdebruijnright12:11
pmjdebruijnwell I wanted a black background anyhow12:12
ochosi:>12:12
pmjdebruijnthat's the only downside though if the user has a weird color scheme set12:12
pmjdebruijnwhich a nonblack background12:12
pmjdebruijnbut it's not a huge problem12:12
ochosiUnit193: yeah, i presume...12:12
ochosipmjdebruijn: ah, for the calibrating you mean, the black background is better?12:12
pmjdebruijnochosi: shouldn't be a significant difference12:12
pmjdebruijnit's not meant like a real project anyhow12:12
pmjdebruijnjust as an example how people can do their own scripts :)12:13
ochosiyeah, well i think that's great12:15
ochosii'll have to get a hold of a colorimeter though to test it :>12:16
pmjdebruijndon't feel obliged to test it :)12:18
pmjdebruijnwas just an FYI12:18
pmjdebruijnif you ever want to get into color management for yourself, feel free to bump me though12:18
Unit193ochosi: Hah, he didn't bump the year, but reset the date: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/tree/NEWS :D12:18
knomepmjdebruijn, that whole thing is interestering for me as well, so please keep poking us :)12:19
knomeerr, interesting :D12:20
pmjdebruijnnanotube: haha :)12:24
pmjdebruijnoops12:24
pmjdebruijnknome: haha :)12:24
pmjdebruijnit's a bit complicated though12:24
pmjdebruijnit's not fire and forget tech12:24
pmjdebruijnand you need a pricy piece of hardware :)12:24
pmjdebruijnI've mostly worked with Richard on GNOME Color Manager12:25
pmjdebruijnbut since xiccd I did a little work on that as well12:25
pmjdebruijnsince xiccd covers everything that isn't GNOME or KDE12:25
pmjdebruijnbtw TearFree seems completely stable now in intel.. 90912:26
knomepmjdebruijn, that's true, but iirc there was some cheaper one12:26
pmjdebruijnyes and no12:27
pmjdebruijncheaper means you lose accuracy12:27
knomehttp://www.hughski.com/ open source12:27
pmjdebruijncolormunki display is probably the best affordable instrument12:27
pmjdebruijnknome: I've worked with Richard on that :)12:27
pmjdebruijnI've been the sounding board to ColorHug development :D12:27
knomeooh, nice12:27
pmjdebruijn:D12:27
pmjdebruijnbut the sensor is a bit limited12:27
knomethe device is very interesting12:27
pmjdebruijnit's supercool, but the accuracy isn't too great atm12:28
pmjdebruijndepending on which display type you have12:28
pmjdebruijnRichard is slow working on a ColorHug 2, which has a good chance of being much better12:28
knomeaha!12:28
pmjdebruijnthe guy behind GNOME Color Manager, colord, ColorHug is the same12:28
knomewill continue to keep an eye on it then12:29
pmjdebruijnhttps://encrypted.pcode.nl/blog/2012/01/29/color-management-on-linux/12:30
pmjdebruijnhttps://encrypted.pcode.nl/blog/2013/11/24/display-color-profiling-on-linux/12:30
pmjdebruijnthose are some general articles on the topic though12:30
knomeyeah, i have them on my todo list12:31
pmjdebruijn:D12:31
pmjdebruijnbtw, just not to take too much great, Richard did pretty much all the work on the ColorHug though12:32
pmjdebruijnI was _just_ the sounding board12:32
knome;)12:32
pmjdebruijnnot to give the impression that it was more than that12:32
pmjdebruijnI knew Richard via GNOME Color Manager, for which I did a lot of testing12:32
slickymaster-jobknome: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/02/06/%23xubuntu-devel.html#t12:31 what do you think?12:52

elfypulled the xfce core tests forward a week - give people a bit of a break before we're headlong into the Betas16:35
Drummit77uhh..is this thing on?16:50
elfywhich thing?16:51
Unit193Yes, the elfy is enabled.16:51
elfyin reboot mode though16:51
slickymaster-jobenabled if near by the kettle16:52
drcbut he seg faults a lot16:52
elfy:(16:52
Drummit77awesome.  new to IRC and development.  Was interested in testing new LTS release.16:53
elfythen you've come to just the right place 16:54
Drummit77 thats a pretty quick reboot..16:54
elfyit's not finished yet :p16:54
elfyso what can we help you with about it 16:55
elfybasically it is pretty stable - but if you need to not upgrade a current install - testing and checking it out in a vm works too16:56
Drummit77:)  Roger that.  Ok...so...Where do I start?  What do I do?  I looked at the links, but honestly...confusing. And confused=mistakes=useless testing16:56
drcstart here http://xubuntu.org/news/help-us-test-xubuntu-14-04-lts/16:57
elfyI'd say that the most important thing to worry about here is whether to install it virtually if possible or not16:58
Drummit77thanks drc....i will check into that. Elfy...I have a laptop that I was going to run full install on for it.17:00
Drummit77sorry...still learning ins and outs of irc17:02
elfythat's ok - so is slickymaster-job 17:02
slickymaster-jobwhatie ?!17:02
Drummit77I had one of those in Thailand... :)17:03
slickymaster-jobah ah ah lol17:03
elfy:)17:03
drcreally?17:03
slickymaster-jobwell, mostly the deep waters of irssi and screen17:03
Drummit77maybe that was a masterslicky job.... idunno17:03
elfydrc: probably not the best channel ... 17:03
elfyDrummit77: ^^17:03
elfysorry drc :)17:03
Drummit77sorry...I couldn't help it.17:03
elfyDrummit77: anyway - if you're going to run a full install on then - go for it - the daily is at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds17:04
elfydownload, burn to something and install it 17:04
elfywhen you're installing you can also run through  an install test ( for 64 bit http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds/62677/testcases)17:05
elfyalso we test packages too at - http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/306/builds/55995/testcases17:05
Drummit77ok...how do I send reports?17:05
elfydo you have a launchpad account? 17:06
Drummit77not yet..17:06
Drummit77sure thats easily remedied17:06
elfyyou need one of those - then you can login to the trackers and report - simple as that17:06
slickymaster-jobknome: did you get a chance to take a look at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/02/06/%23xubuntu-devel.html#t12:3117:06
Drummit77gottit.   Thanks!  Sorry again if I offended anyone..17:07
elfythat's ok 17:07
slickymaster-jobanother thing knome, how do you feel about changing the <section id="customizing-appearance"> tittle to <section id="customizing-desktop">?17:07
slickymaster-jobsorry knome, that's nor the correct section, what I mean is changing the <section id="customizing-wallpaper"> tittle to <section id="customizing-desktop">?17:13

Unit193Speak of the devil.20:09
ali1234Unit193: if that patch works well for you please comment on the bug tracker :)20:10
NoskcajUnit193, link to diff plz20:10
Unit193Don't you already know it does?  All I had to do was rm ~/.gtk-bookmarks on the one computer.  Want anything more than "Works wonderfully for me."?  :P20:11
ali1234no, that's fine. it's not for my benefit but for reviewers :)20:11
brainwashis .gtk-bookmarks deprecated?20:12
ali1234yes20:12
ali1234it was simply moved20:12

damiankguys i saw in the mailing list that maybe you need help testing isos? i have free time on weekend if you want i can test both 32bit / 64 bit on AMDs i have here21:00
elfydamiank: we're always testing trusty daily iso's - the last iso call itself was for 12.04.4 - that's all done now21:02
elfyhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds21:02
damiankok elfy i download tonight so tomorrow i test.21:02
damianki'll send you the results later21:02
elfythanks :)21:02
damianknp21:02
elfyreport to the tracker please :)21:03
damiankyes21:03
elfythanks damiank - always wanting people to test for us :)21:03
damianki really love xubuntu, so i want to help in any way i can21:03
damiankmy main working pc is xubuntu 12.04 based and is very stable and works great21:04
elfyexcellent - well you get the dev mails - so you'll always get the mails from me21:06
Unit193damiank: Don't forget to sync up before you test!21:07
Unit193!zsync21:07
ubottuUse zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage21:07

damiankyes im subscribed to dev21:10
damianki'll do that21:10
damiankand test tomorrow21:10
damianki have one partition with 12.04 which i almost never use  excepts for tests, i will use that to test update21:10
elfyif you've got a 12.04 update it and then run an upgrade test on it :)21:11
elfyhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds/57247/testcases or http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds/57248/testcases21:12
damiankok perfect21:19
damiankone question, 14.04 will work with the old athlon xp?21:19
elfyI'd not know offhand - ram?21:20
damiank2gb21:20
elfyI'd install it ;)21:20
schproodledamiank, If you are interested in testing, it would be more than worthwhile to use virtualbox.21:22
elfyschproodle: damiank has hardware to test with - always better than virtual if possible21:22
damianki have a virtualbox setup here, probably i will test an install before upgrading21:24
schproodleelfy, I could try that with another machine.  Vbox makes me lazy eh.21:24
damiankelfy: anyway my hardware isnt a great thing21:25
damianki have 2 pcs, both old21:25
damiankone much older, the athlon xp21:25
elfydamiank: even so - hardware is going to better than virtual, and if it's getting on a bit - that can help us see if we need to change our minimum specs :)21:26
damiankok21:27
schproodleelfy, are there ways to setup vbox so that there is less of a disadvantage compared to hardware?21:27
Noskcajschproodle, not really21:27
knomeschproodle, not really.21:27
knomeNoskcaj, hah21:27
Noskcajlol21:27
elfyschproodle: not really ... :p21:27
Noskcajdamiank, Plus lubuntu and mini.iso always need testing if it turns out you can't run xubuntu21:28
elfyhowever - what we want here is people testing for us ... 21:28
damiankNoskcaj, thanks for the offer, but i like xfce21:29
Noskcajelfy, yes, but testing  different flavour is better than no testing at all21:29
NoskcajThat is my only point21:29
schproodleWhat things does vbox usually goof-up?21:29
damianki have been using xfce for many years actually21:29
elfyand my point is that it's hard enough to get people testing for us as it is 21:29
knomeschproodle, it doesn't. hardware just allows us to see if real hardware works21:29
knomeschproodle, virtualbox is always an environment we can expect, so no surprises re: hardware there21:30
Unit193Generally if I have a question about support for the hardware, I use grml-rescueboot from the repos and just boot the new ISO, checking to see if most/all things work, then reboot into the system and do the upgrade.21:30
knomeschproodle, hardware tests allow us to see if more moving parts (different hardware) potentially breaks something that looks unrelated21:30
Noskcaji.e. broken graphics or un-supported wifi cards21:31
damiankwell, the graphics on the older pc is always a pain, its a geforce221:31
damiankon the neweer one i have a new radeon21:32
Unit193Heh, mine is even more fun. :P21:32
damiank?21:32
Unit193Ooooold graphics, got a warning couple releases back about support being limited at best. :P21:33
schproodleI didn't understand how much vbox is distinct from my physical host.21:33
schproodleBeen using vbox for three days. :)21:34
elfythat's ok schproodle - majority of testing I do is with vbox 21:34
damiankguys i have to go, we'll talk tomorrow bye21:36
schproodleThere must be a way to boot a computer from an iso on a hdd eh.21:36
elfyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot21:37
elfynot done it for some time21:37
schproodleI just discovered zsync.  Lotsa fun. I have done 39 reports on Daily i386 and amd64.21:38

Noskcajbluesabre, when do you think you'll merge lightdm greeter from debian?23:20
bluesabreNoskcaj: we're going to release 1.8 this weekend, we'll pull it from debian at that point23:21
Noskcajok23:21
bluesabrethanks for keeping on top of things23:21
brainwash1.8 already? with or without indicators?23:24
NoskcajIs there anything else assigned to me for the cycle?23:24
bluesabrebrainwash: with indicators23:24
brainwashgreat23:24
NoskcajI'll package the indicator-gtk3 stuff next weekend if there aren23:24
Noskcaj't any releases23:24
brainwashright, we really need the panel gtk indicators too23:25
brainwashgtk323:25
bluesabrecool, I might have a new menulibre and mugshot release in a week or two, but those are immediate items23:25
Noskcajok23:25
brainwashbluesabre: the greeter indicator branch did change the .conf a bit, now you have to enable all the indicators/menu explicitly23:26
brainwashso we need to ship an updated lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf for xubuntu23:27
bluesabreyeah, more stuff to add to the branches :)23:27
brainwashstill some minor issue remain unsolved (clock not perfectly centered and occasionally 1px free space between the right screen and the last indicator/menuitem)23:29
brainwashdoes 1.8 also mean feature freeze?23:31
bluesabrebrainwash: it might be a good idea to create some bug reports if there are not some already23:36
bluesabreI'm basically going into bug-fixing/merging mode tomorrow morning :)23:37
brainwashthought that ochosi would fix these issues in time :D23:38
bluesabre:D23:38
bluesabreso did I23:38
bluesabreochosi :<23:38
brainwashand he cannot verify the 1px issue I think :/23:39
bluesabredo you have a screenshot of that issue, I'm not quite sure what you mean by it23:40
brainwashmove the cursor to the top right corner and click23:40
brainwashit should activate the menuitem/indicator23:41
brainwashbut it does not in all cases, depending on screen resolution and panel content23:41
bluesabreoh23:42
bluesabrethats odd23:42
brainwashthe gtk button box uses the 'edge' layout and spreads the 3 items across the panel, but it leaves 1px space sometimes on the right side23:42
brainwash"miscalulation"23:42
brainwashand I suggested to add homogeneous=true to the panel to center the clock, but it could break the layout on small resolutions23:44
brainwashnot quite sure how to enable it dynamically based on the actual needed space23:45
bluesabreso, the clock is not always centered when there is enough space available?23:45
brainwashno, usually you got the hostname on the left side and the 4 menuitems on the right23:46
brainwashand won't notice it23:46
brainwashbut after adding many indicators you do23:46
brainwashso there is more stuff on the right side, pushing the clock a bit to the left23:47
bluesabreah, I see23:47
brainwashminor stuff, very low priority23:48
brainwashthat's why I did not file any report yet23:48
bluesabreI had opted out of using homogenous because if one side is extra long, it forces everything over (causes the panel window to resize)23:48
brainwashright23:48
brainwashyou can actually mark child widgets as non_homogeneous.. but this did not work for me23:49
brainwashso the hostname and indicator area would be even23:50
brainwashI think that's how it should work23:50
bluesabrehm, I might experiment with that a bit tomorrow then as well23:51
brainwashok thanks :)23:54
