ochosiNoskcaj: cause you asked me a while ago, no, i don't know of any other thunar patches we might need atm01:36
ochosibut getting that one would be nice01:36
ochosi(for the wallpaper-plugin)01:36
Noskcajochosi, ok. The MP is up01:37
ochosiwhat does MP stand for again? (other than military police, member of parliament, ...)01:37
Unit193Military Police is right, they've put a blockade up.01:40
ochosii see :)01:42
Unit193Merge proposal.01:42
Unit193I like my other answer better though.01:42

elfymmm - just got some updates in trusty - if anyone else gets some - and doesn't have keyboard set to US - can they check to see if it is set to US afterwards08:21
MigouHello everybody09:04
brainwash_accidentally opened a document with abiword - the app which constantly breaks the ruler in every dev release of xubuntu12:10
brainwash_can anyone confirm that not only the rulers are broken, but also the top document view are when scrolled?12:11
brainwash_document view area12:11
brainwash_it flickers for me12:11
brainwash_bug 126120312:11
ubottubug 1261203 in abiword (Ubuntu) "Abiword top ruler hidden by gray area on first open" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/126120312:11
elfyI've confirmed one of those already 12:12
elfyI'm sure 12:12
brainwash_so you see the top part flickering?12:12
brainwash_when you scroll the document12:13
elfynope no flickering - that might just be you12:13
brainwash_interesting12:14
brainwash_the flicker might be subtle for you, but the actual cause is related to the ruler glitch12:19
elfythough I rarely use it - so if it's intermittent I'd not notice12:19
brainwash_I suggest increasing the priority of this bug12:19
elfyand tbf not very interested in it - something breaks with it all the time12:19
brainwash_abiword is a core app and this glitch is way too annoying, it makes the user look for another word processor12:20
elfyit might well be a core app - but I'm beginning to just join everyone in else in not caring about qa12:21
elfywasting my time 12:21
brainwash_speaking of importance level.. people bumped tons of reports once again12:21
brainwash_assigning low importance12:21
brainwash_very helpful :/12:22
elfyno - someone decided to do a bug day and just wandered about worrying about ubuntu stuff12:22
elfyanyway - nipper is here - bbl12:22
brainwash_:)12:22
elfybrainwash_: so this really annoying flicker bug - I assume that someone else must have reported it :)13:33
brainwash_elfy: happens when I open the HackingOnThunar.odt13:43
brainwash_did not try other documents yet13:43
brainwash_empty document with several pages and random content does not seem to be affected13:44
elfyis that a local file to you?13:45
elfyfound it 13:46
brainwash_a random odt I intended to open with libreoffice.. but then ended up with abiword13:47
elfybrainwash_: sort of flickering when it goes to new page if dragging the scrollbar up and down 13:47
brainwash_top area, right?13:47
elfywhere the ruler would be13:47
brainwash_I'll try to do some debugging and then add information to the existing report13:49
elfy:)13:49
brainwash_really wish that we would have switched to libreoffice writer + calc13:49
elfywell we haven't :)13:49
elfyand no-one seems to be coming forward with a spec for changing it either so I doubt we will13:50
brainwash_the only blocker was the available iso space I think13:51
elfyno idea I'm afraid, I really don't worry about it that much - I just install it myself 13:51
elfyhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-January/009615.html13:55
elfywas the last time it got airplay brainwash_ :)13:55
brainwash_so hopefully we can make abiword work properly before final release13:58
brainwash_ootb experience is very important13:58
elfyI agree - but I've only ever seen one person talking about this flicker thing :p13:59
brainwash_it's new in trusty14:00
elfyanyway - bbl14:00
brainwash_and apparently our tester do not test it properly :P14:00
brainwash_I discovered it by accident14:01
brainwash_not sure if the testing guide asks the user to open a document (.odt?) in abiword14:01
elfywhy not go and look 14:02
brainwash_I have no clue, never bothered with iso testing :(14:03
brainwash_so I got nothing bookmarked14:03
brainwash_basically I use trusty and discover more than enough bugs by simply using it14:04
ganglerespeaking of iso testing, anyone know why test drive shows no available isos?15:48
ganglerenevermind, appearently I have to choose a release now15:50
knomebluesabre, thanks for the merge request.16:08
bluesabreknome: yup16:08
bluesabreFF in 1.5 weeks16:08

knomebluesabre, can you see the -features blueprint and look if there's something else we should/can change in the seed now16:08
knomebluesabre, should be a (at least near-)exhaustive list in the whiteboard16:09
bluesabreyeah, trying to get all that together now16:10
knomeok, thanks16:10
knomewhile you're at it, please check if the blueprint work item statuses are up-to-date16:10

bluesabreelfy: I16:16
elfybluesabre: I16:16
elfytoo :p16:16
bluesabreok good16:16
bluesabre:)16:16
bluesabreI'll work on getting a patch in for that today or tomorrow16:16
bluesabrewe need micahg to update the seed before that happens though16:17
bluesabreunless we have somebody with access to that?16:17
elfyI don't know 16:17
knome~ubuntu-core-dev :P16:18
bluesabretoday begins the daily pings :)16:18
elfyI suppose at the same time the xscreensaver/light-locker thing could be done?16:18
bluesabreyeah, we've got that MR in as well16:19
elfyok 16:19
* elfy wonders why he's getting pinged to review this stuff ... would have more chance translating the Russian War and Peace into Cantonese16:20
knomelol16:20
bluesabreelfy: I added you since you're the head of testing16:20
knomeelfy, you asked for information... ;)16:20
bluesabreso your approval means everything is A-OK!16:20
elfyha ha ha 16:20
bluesabreelfy, knome: have we decided on whiskermenu vs. xfce-menu?16:21
elfyI'm pretty sure we've not decided on anything much lately16:21
knomebluesabre, we're currently working on it with ochosi16:21
bluesabreok16:22
knomewell not like *right now*, but will land soonish16:22
ochosishould be finished asap, i hope tomorrow16:22
knomeor at least be ready for voting/approval16:22
elfyochosi: ooh nice :)16:23
bluesabregood good :D16:23
ochosiif we only have one proposed layout, i'm not sure voting is a good idea...16:23
knomeochosi, well, vote for the new or old layout16:23
ochosianyway, feel free to check out my proposal in the whiskermenu wiki page16:23
ochosihttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Trusty/Whiskermenu16:24
ochosii also argue there why i'd change what i would change16:24
ochosigotta go, bbl16:25
bluesabreochosi: that's a good proposal16:30
elfyochosi: and I'd agree with bluesabre there16:32
bluesabreknome: have we packaged the community wallpapers?16:33
elfybluesabre: so ... I have tried and tried to get a launcher to appear in a menu using menulibre and I am failing miserably to do more than shout a lot 16:33
bluesabreelfy: in the toplevel, or in a category?16:33
elfyanywhere but in menulibre :(16:33
elfycan't even get an empty to one appear16:34
bluesabreI'm assuming that you're hitting save when you add it?16:34
elfyyep16:34
bluesabredoes the filename shown at the bottom of the launcher exist?16:34
elfyI've not got it open now - I moved on lol16:35
bluesabreok16:35
bluesabreif you test it again, please note the following16:35
bluesabrewhen you save it, the filename that is displayed at the bottom of the window should be updated based on the new filename.  Navigate to that file and make sure it exists16:36
bluesabrealso, try menulibre -v from the terminal16:36
elfyok16:37
bluesabreso far, I've had issues with creating toplevel items (i.e. 1st menu level), but everything else works for me in several DEs in several distros, so I'll need to know whats going on :)16:37
brainwash_ochosi: can we move the whisker menu search bar and action buttons to the top? this way the user can access them faster from the panel16:38
elfymmm - well I can't for instance add a launcher to Accessories - it just adds the launcher to between accessories and the next menu group16:38
bluesabreyeah, you can use the arrow buttons to move it into that menu (if the menu is expanded)16:39
elfyaaah - got that16:40
elfybluesabre: ok - got further this time :)16:46
bluesabreoh goodie16:46
elfybut - even though menulibre thinks the launcher is in Accessories - it shows in System only 16:47
elfybut it IS showing there :)16:47
elfybiab16:47
bluesabreyou may have to save the launcher again once you move it16:48
bluesabrebtw, I am taking this feedback to improve upon current features ;)16:49
knomebrainwash_, did you read the wikipage ochosi linked?17:00
elfybluesabre: saved a few times - won't appear in accessories - and is effectively a copy of the existing term launcher 17:02
* elfy sees someone setting bug priority to high on something that's fix released and wonders why bother17:09
bluesabreelfy: any output in the terminal?17:11
brainwash_knome: did I miss anything? :/17:12
bluesabregotta run, bbl17:12
elfybluesabre: sorry - there was a bunch of output, but I'm right in the middle of a bunch - I'll have another go later and pastebin the output - with screenshots and notes to - so you can see exactly what's happening here17:12
bluesabreelfy: excellent17:13
bluesabrebe sure to do menulibre -v too17:13
elfyyep17:13
knomebrainwash_, yes you did.17:13
elfywe all had cake17:13
brainwash_but the cake is a lie17:14
* elfy asks belly - belly says brainwash_ lies17:14
jjfrv8knome, ping17:24
jjfrv8knome, I may not be able to stick around so I'll post some of my questions and maybe you, or others, can enlighten me17:48
jjfrv8I've been working on the MenuLibre section of the Settings and Preferences chapter and then I saw the discussion here from earlier today17:48
jjfrv8I'm confused about the role of menulibre, especially if we decide to go with whiskermenu instead of xfce-menu17:48
jjfrv8as it stands now, it seems we need menulibre to edit the applications menu because alacarte is broken...17:48
jjfrv8but if we go with whiskermenu, I would think most of the basic editing functionality is built in there and menulibre would only be needed for really advanced stuff17:49
jjfrv8have I got that completely wrong?17:49
elfyyou'd still need something to add new launchers to whisker menu I think17:51
jjfrv8bbl18:17
knomejjfrv8, yah, menulibre is still needed to edit the whiskermenu as well18:39
elfyknome: there's a draft doobywotsit at the blog for someone to look at 18:44
knomedoobywhat18:44
knomei'll look at it later today when i'm on my desktop machine18:44
