brainwashbut doesn't this break the zeitgeist integration?10:44
bluesabreit does10:45
bluesabrebut zeitgeist is only used for instant suggestions10:45
bluesabreand it was only in suggests, so never auto-pulled10:45
brainwashok, I somehow doubt that anyone will complain about catfish not utilizing zeitgeit anymore :)10:46
bluesabreright10:47
bluesabrebut yeah, which session wallpaper problem10:47
bluesabreand have we figured out the source of the problem?10:47
* ochosi was away and doesn't even have a clue10:48
brainwashxfdesktop not picking the wallpaper which we define in our xfce4-desktop.xml (xubuntu-default-settings)10:48
brainwashso it falls back to the default Xfce one10:48
brainwashboth wallpapers display a mouse in the centre... so no big deal, or? :D10:49
bluesabreis there a bug for this item?10:50
ochosiso what's the problem with the session?10:50
bluesabresession wallpaper is xfce wallpaper, not xubuntu one10:50
jhenkezeitgeist, what a stupid name for such a software (at least for German speakers)...10:50
ochosijhenke: +110:50
ochosibluesabre: right, it sounded like it was a bug in xfce4-session. but afaik that one doesn't handle wallpapers10:51
brainwashzeitgeist is a well known term in the english language10:51
brainwashochosi: it's xfdesktop10:51
ochosiyeah, even in english it's a bit misleading to what the service does though10:51
ochosibrainwash: have you debugged that a little already?10:52

knomebut might not10:53
ochosi(that should be easy to verify if you have a brand new setup, which i can't try right now)10:53
brainwashI've checked the code a bit and talked to eric, it should work fine according to him, if we switch back the 4.10 config style (xfce4-desktop.xml)10:53
bluesabreah10:54
brainwashbut the 4.10 config style does not work for me either10:54
bluesabredidn't ali1234 mention something like that10:54
bluesabrewhere we need to use the old config and let xfce upgrade it?10:54
bluesabrefor something or another10:54
brainwashI guess so10:54
brainwashxfdesktop is able to migrate the config file10:54
ochosithat's odd though, why does providing a correct config file not work?10:55
bluesabreI'll look into it tonight if nobody beats me to it10:55
bluesabregotta run, bbl10:55
ochosittyl bluesabre 10:55
jhenkecu bluesabre10:55
brainwashit isn't correct, we define "monitor0", but in most cases xfdesktop will use and lock for the actual monitor name like "monitor-HDMI12454"10:56
brainwashand therefore create a new entry in the user config file10:56
ochosiah, i see10:56
brainwashthe old config style should work, but it does not for me10:57
eric_the_idiotdo you have a link to the old file?10:57
brainwasheric_the_idiot: hello :D10:57

ochosiyou mean the old config file?10:58
brainwashhttps://code.launchpad.net/~ochosi/xubuntu-default-settings/xfdesktop_background10:58

brainwashbad luck, we fail to display the correct wallpaper in two different apps :D11:11
ochosinot sure whether that's really us11:14
ochosithe ubiquity issue i really don't understand at all11:14
ochosii hope that xnox or someone more involved with ubiquity will be able to shed some light...11:14
eric_the_idiotSo I changed the perchannel-xml file to the 4.10 thing, killed xfdesktop, reset/deleted all the xfconf properties, restarted and it worked.11:21

ochosibrainwash: i suggest you do a merge-request based on your findings that reverts the current version to one that works12:10
ochosii still can't push to xubuntu-default-settings, so it doesn't make any sense if you describe your changes and then i do the MR (it's just more work that way)12:11

lennyHello! I'm trying out the 14.04 beta, is there a reason why the icons on the upper left corner is so large?15:48
brainwashlenny: hi there, which icons exactly?15:54
lennybrainwash, if you choose to have the numix look15:54
lennysettings -> window manager -> numix15:55
brainwashthe new default size for desktop icons is or will be 48px15:55
brainwashso you mean the icons in the window decoration?15:56
lennyIs it because I have a low resolution  screen then?15:56
lennybrainwash, yes15:56
brainwashnot sure, can you upload a screenshot?15:56
lennysure, sec15:57
brainwashochosi might have an explanation 15:57
lennyhttp://i.imgur.com/0eaPLSc.png15:58
brainwashoh, that is indeed rather big15:59
brainwashlenny: you could file a bug report against "shimmer-themes"16:03
brainwashand/or wait until ochosi returns16:04
lennyon launch-pad?16:04
brainwashyes, or directly here https://github.com/shimmerproject/Numix16:07

ali1234brainwash: yes18:45
NoskcajSo the day my xfdesktop git-patches branch gets accepted, 4.11.5 comes out anyway19:05

brainwashhooray :)19:17
brainwashNoskcaj: btw, I've just attached the patch files to the abiword reports, did not want to bother with properly packaging it19:21
NoskcajI can try and package it. but i think you should learn how to19:22
brainwashyeah, but I would prefer a new debian release19:22
brainwashbecause there are more fixes for the stable branch19:23
NoskcajThen email the maintainer, a lot19:23
brainwashbut I don't do debian, so far I've only reported 1 bug to the debian guys19:25
brainwashmaybe I should stop avoiding debian19:27
Noskcajcan't hurt19:31
lennybrainwash: I switched my desktop from debian to 14.04 today :D19:32
brainwashlenny: why that?19:32
lennyA couple of reasons, 1. DPM for my radeon card still didn't work with the 3.13 kernel and I was tiered of the fans running at full speed. So if I forfeit my freedom why bother. 2. Other small issues like sometimes freezing at the login screen and other small annoyances19:34

brainwashyou will to file a launchpad report against shimmer-themes and hope that the fix finds its way into 14.0419:55
