jhenkegood morning09:14
starratsgood morning jhenke09:17
starratsalmost thought I had a 'bug' to complain about this morning from last night's update/upgrade but this morning's update/upgrade went as smooth as silk09:19
starratsIs Liberoffice ready for download/install on 14.04, a couple folks I know on FB are having some problems with it and I was going to install it on mine but haven't yet?10:31
elfystarrats: I've been using libreoffice on trusty since I installed it in Oct/Nov last year12:03
starratsah okay elfy12:46
elfyseem to have a whole bunch of kde packages kicking about suddenly15:38
jhenkekde? where does those come from?15:43
elfyno idea - but I've just removed a bunch of packages and appear to have no wallpaper now 15:43
ochosimaybe you removed xfdesktop? :)15:45
elfynope15:45
elfyfirst - I'm not sure where the kde stuff appeared from - but that could be explainable :p15:47
elfythere was an upgrade to xfdesktop to 4.11.5-0ubuntu115:48
brainwash_https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1078815:50
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 10788 in General "Desktop background disappears when changing GTK theme" [Major,New]15:50
elfyhttp://pastebin.com/BLxyhM78 can't see anything odd in there - odd why they are on here15:52
brainwash_dunno15:53
brainwash_it's still the same issue (wallpaper disappears)15:54
elfycould have been clementine15:54
elfyubiquity-frontend-kde15:56
elfycoincidence then :)15:57
elfybrainwash_: I didn't change themes - I was just doing stuff in synaptic15:58
elfythough the kill works15:58
brainwash_this was my initial bug title, it can also disappear on other occasions15:59
elfyaah ok :)16:00
brainwash_sadly I didn't notice this before :/16:06
elfywell it's a new one on me as well ;)16:06
brainwash_yeah, but you do not test the upstream changes :)16:07
lennyelfy: I'm an ex-clementine user, try quodlibet ;)16:19
elfylenny: tried that ... 16:20
elfytried everything ... 16:20
lennybut?16:21
elfyclementine is as close as I can get to how I want it to work - so I stick with it :)16:21
lenny:) sound decision16:21
ochosibrainwash_, elfy: yeah, can confirm that bug with the wallpaper disappearing straight on the xfdesktop upgrade16:22
ochosi(killing xfdesktop once brings it back though)16:23
elfygood - I thought I'd broken it - really don't want to have to redo this install till we've released 16:24
elfy:)16:24
brainwash_unlucky, we fix a regression and a new bug appears :/16:50
elfycould be worse ... we could have fixed ibus ;)16:51
brainwash_ibus will be the new broken indicator-sound (13.10)16:52
ochosiwell then fix it :)16:52
brainwash_impossible16:52
brainwash_that's the dark side16:53
elfyno it won't be - if it doesn't get fixed then we'll not ship it 16:53
brainwash_you need to be magician to understand this stuff16:53
brainwash_I'll focus on the xfce related issues16:54
brainwash_like bug 129229016:54
ubottubug 1292290 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "Window manager keybindings don't work after reboot" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/129229016:54
lennyworks on my machine (tm)16:55
brainwash_what works?16:55
lennykeybindings16:55
brainwash_did you change any?16:55
lennyyes16:55
brainwash_like?16:56
lennymod enter for terminal16:56
brainwash_no, we are talking about window manager keybindings16:56
brainwash_like "switch to workspace 1"16:56
lennyoh, sorry then :)16:57
brainwash_or "maximize window"16:57
brainwash_elfy: xfdesktop 4.11.5 + patches for the new bugs (moving files, disappearing wallpaper)17:39
brainwash_https://launchpad.net/~thad-fisch/+archive/test17:39
brainwash_looking forward to tell noskcaj to prepare yet another xfdesktop4 upload :)17:47
elfybrainwash_: that appears to work for the file issue - no idea about the desktop, don't know how to create the issue :)18:34
brainwash_elfy: simply change the gtk theme18:45
brainwash_settings manager > appearance 18:45
elfyoh well - I'e purged it now 18:45
brainwash_great, now you can see if the patch works18:46
brainwash_before and after18:46
elfycan't do that 18:46
elfyit's Wednesday18:46
elfymmm 18:47
elfysettings - appearance - fiddling with those doesn't do anything unexpected ... 18:47
brainwash_did you purge and restart xfdesktop?18:48
elfyoh - not sure when I rebooted 18:48
elfyok - cool - that's got it 18:49
brainwash_wallpaper gone?18:49
elfyyep18:49
elfyok - that works too then18:50
brainwash_also uploaded xfce4-power-manager, it should now sync the power-manager and session setting for "lock screen on suspend"18:50
brainwash_settings manager > session and startup > advanced18:50
brainwash_I think18:50
brainwash_and the power-manager one18:50
elfylock screen before sleep?18:51
brainwash_yes18:51
brainwash_we have two settings for it18:51
brainwash_not counting light-locker-settings18:51
brainwash_oh man, so much to test =S18:52
elfyok - they sync18:52
elfywhat's the xfwm4 in there for?18:53
brainwash_to hide the unused maximize button for dialog windows18:53
brainwash_check the PPA description for links to the bug reports18:53
elfybug is just rabbiting on about ubiquity18:55
elfyok - maximise is missing from update search index in catfish18:56
brainwash_ubiquity uses xfwm4 to render window decorations I guess18:56
brainwash_but all dialog windows in Xfce are affected18:57
elfysome are still there - but work 18:57
brainwash_well, windows which are not meant to be resizable, but still show the maximize button18:57
elfyyea18:57
elfypurging now 18:57
brainwash_now re-install xfdesktop from my ppa :D18:58
brainwash_restart it and change the gtk theme18:58
elfydid you see what I just typed18:58
elfyoh I've done that - that worked18:59
brainwash_so quick?18:59
brainwash_so the wallpaper does not disappear anymore with the patch?18:59
elfynope 18:59
brainwash_great18:59
elfymmm19:00
brainwash_o.o19:00
brainwash_I did not test it yet19:00
elfyjust rechecking something19:01
brainwash_watching soccer atm19:01
ochosibrainwash_: just tested xfpm patch from your ppa19:03
elfyyep - rechecked that - appears to work19:03
ochosiseems like the sync doesn't always work both ways, at least with both dialogs open changing it in session doesn't do anything in xfpm19:03
ochosithe other way round (xfpm > session) works perfectly19:04
brainwash_don't open both dialogs :)19:04
brainwash_elfy: thanks for testing19:04
ochosiwell we want a two-way sync19:05
ochosiand actually the patch *should* do that19:05
ochosimaybe just the dialog doesn't update19:05
ochosii guess i'll monitor xfconf...19:05
brainwash_possibly19:05
brainwash_ochosi: should we add the lp report to -bugs19:06
brainwash_bug 110198219:07
ubottubug 1101982 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "inconsistent settings for lock screen between xfce4-session and xfce4-power-manager" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/110198219:07
brainwash_it's even marked as security issue19:08
ochosiadded19:08
brainwash_ok19:08
ochosiif i have time i'll look at the monitoring code later19:09
ochosibut actually it should work automagically unless it monitors the wrong channel19:09
ochosihmmm19:12
ochosibrainwash_: if i patch this github version, what's easiest for you to update the PPA with? a git patch? or want me to push the cloned thing into a separate repo?19:13
elfyochosi: is anything going to be happening with lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings in trusty - other than a ppa?19:13
ochosielfy: there is already a request to get it uploaded, so it'll be installable19:14
ochosibut we didn't go for installing it by default in xubuntu19:14
ochosiit simply seemed too late in the cycle19:14
elfyok - cool, it's the last ppa I have here19:14
elfyyep - understood :)19:14
elfyall these new -settings things - easy for me to confuse myself :p19:15
brainwash_ochosi: git patch should be fine19:16
=== jackson is now known as Guest78494
=== Guest78494 is now known as Noskcaj_
ochosielfy: yeah, agreed19:25
ochosibrainwash_: btw, it might be worth to wait for xfdesktop4.11.619:25
brainwash_maybe19:27
brainwash_but we need the wallpaper fix now19:27
brainwash_otherwise people will start to whine19:27
ochosino, we need it in the release19:27
brainwash_rc19:27
brainwash_is there a limit for uploads of the same package? :D19:29
brainwash_maybe limited by noskcaj's nerves =S19:29
ochosiand by the sponsors' nerves/time19:30
brainwash_it's always so stressful without an active uploader19:31
elfyit might possibly be better to not overdo the same package :p19:32
ochosiyeah, that's why i would avoid another scenario where we first upload git fixes/patches and a day later there's a proper release19:33
brainwash_want to create a lp report?19:33
ochosiok, so the monitoring in xfpm works19:33
ochosijust something in the setting of that xfconf property doesn't19:33
brainwash_well, someone will create a report for the new wallpaper problem anyway19:34
brainwash_ochosi: so it works now properly?19:34
ochosi21:33  ochosi$ just something in the setting of that xfconf property doesn't19:34
brainwash_ah, so no patch yet19:34
brainwash_just observations :)19:35
Noskcaj_brainwash_, Are there any particular fixes that need packaging currently?20:23
brainwash_Noskcaj_: not yet I guess20:25
Noskcaj_ok. I'll try and get that xfwm4 fix packaged sometime soon though20:26
brainwash_but we got some patches20:26
brainwash_well, it's not tested widely yet20:26
ochosiNoskcaj_: well unless you wanna potentially run into that xfdesktop scenario again... ;)20:26
brainwash_also got a patch for bug 127186120:27
ubottubug 1271861 in thunar (Ubuntu) ""Open with 'default app'" in right click context menu with wrong icon" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/127186120:27
Noskcaj_ochosi, good point. I probably have to merge xfdesktop from debian too20:27
brainwash_and lets not forget about abiword :)20:27
Noskcaj_gulp20:28
Noskcaj_That's the one i'm, worried about working on.20:28
Unit193brainwash_: Did you test my garcon yet?20:29
brainwash_ah, no20:29
brainwash_did not activate the PPA yet20:29
brainwash_but I've already added the classic app menu :)20:30
brainwash_Unit193: do we have a lp report for this issue?20:31
jhenkegood night folks20:32
Unit193brainwash_: I use the classic menu as well, this fixes it.20:34
ochosinight jhenke 20:34
ochosiUnit193: yeah, that one is a pretty obvious fix for a shortcoming in garcon20:35
Unit193But testing before upload might be nice.20:35
ochosisure20:35
ochosididn't mean we shouldn't20:35
ochosii guess that means i also should test that one20:35
elfyI'm all for not testing anything at all ever :p20:36
ochosibtw, does xfpm<->session sync work for anyone both ways and am i the only one it's only working one-way for?20:36
ochosi(just so that i know, cause the code seems fine from what i can tell and the signal gets caught when the property gets changed in session)20:36
elfyochosi: I'll test it again now 20:36
ochosiUnit193: could you link me to your ppa with garcon again?20:37
Noskcaj_It seems there's duplication of settings from xfpm to light-locker-settings for when the monitor turns off20:40
Noskcaj_This could be an issue20:40
elfyochosi: if I set lock in power manager it syncs to adv in sessions, changing it then in sessions does NOT sync to power manager - unless I happen to have another instance of settings manager open20:40
ochosiNoskcaj_: this is what we're looking at. there are 3 settings that need to be kept in sync (xfpm, session and lls)20:40
Noskcaj_That's a worry20:41
ochosielfy: yup, that's what i'm seeing20:41
elfyochosi: ok 20:41
ochosiso that part where the setting gets applied needs a touch20:41
ochosiNoskcaj_: not really, we're working on it. bugs that are not being worked on are a worry ;)20:41
Noskcaj_:)20:42
Unit193ochosi: ppa:unit193/xfce20:50
Unit193(That's also the one with xfwm though.)20:51
ochosiUnit193: yeah, just realized i had already added it :)20:53
ochosianyhoo, as expected it works nicely20:53
ochosihaven't found any apps it doesn't work with20:54
Unit193Worked for everything on me as well.20:54
ochosibrainwash_: thunar open-with patch seems to work20:57
elfynight all20:57
Unit193Next time you see Noskcaj, you can ping him for the garcon upload. (My packaging while working is a bit fudged.)20:58
brainwash_also shows the execute icon for executable files20:58
ochosiUnit193: do we have a bugreport for that and if so, is it linked to xubuntu-t-bugs?20:58
Unit193ochosi: Xfce bug.20:59
ochosiyeah, but we need a bugreport on lp too20:59
ochosior at least i'd consider that more transparent21:00
brainwash_maybe no one noticed yet, because we switched to whisker21:00
ochosibbiab21:00
Unit193brainwash_: Affects whisker too, IIRC.21:02
brainwash_I doubt that21:02
Unit193ochosi uses whisker, so I'd think he'd only see it if it's also in whisker.  If whisker uses garcon, then yes, and it does build-dep on garcon...21:05
brainwash_i did not notice any missing icons in whisker21:07
brainwash_and I have tons of installed apps21:08
ochosii think whisker uses its own way of gathering icons21:20
ochosieither that or it uses the old garcon way21:20
ochosi(which is still there)21:20
Unit193Alright, I'm wrong, time to take me out back. :(21:21
ochosieither way, we should try to get the patch in trusty21:23
ochosieven if that means more delta21:23
brainwash_it has to work properly21:24
brainwash_so better fix it than listen to people's complains21:25
brainwash_ochosi: btw enabling MONITOR_ROOT_PIXMAP did not seem to cause any trouble yet21:31
brainwash_on a large scale :)21:32
ochosihow many testers do we have on that one?21:32
ochosior is that already included as a patch?21:32
brainwash_already included21:32
brainwash_since 2014-03-0921:32
Unit193ochosi: And the problem I have still exists after disableing that (though may not be as bad.)21:33
brainwash_well, not included, it's a compile flag21:33
brainwash_Unit193: wait what?21:34
brainwash_or are you talking about something else?21:34
ochosipleia2: while you're around, if you happen to have some spare time/energy, feel free to look at the article on locking i wrote for xubuntu.org, just to see whether it's all understandable and makes sense21:54
brainwash_Unit193: garcon patch works for me21:54
pleia2ochosi: sneaky21:54
pleia2ochosi: I can look in about an hour, just about to hop on a call21:54
ochosipleia2: hehe. sure, there's absolutely no rush, you can also do this tomorrow or another day ;)21:55
brainwash_where can I find the article?21:58
Unit193brainwash_: I have problems with newer xfwm, disable the root pixmap and they are slightly less, but still there.22:04
brainwash_less what?22:04
brainwash_screen flicker?22:05
brainwash_or artifacts22:05
Unit193Slightly less apparent.22:05
Unit193Right, well...22:05
Unit193Artifacts, but more like puzzle pieces from previous screens.22:06
ochosibrainwash_: you need to be in the xubuntu web team or have access to the xubuntu.org website22:07
ochosii guess i can send it to you plaintext though22:07
brainwash_secret documents? :)22:08
ochosinah, that's just the normal process, you write stuff up in wordpress22:08
ochosithen someone from the team reviews, then you hit publish22:08
Unit193Did you "fix" all the comments I had on it?22:08
ochosii think so, yes22:09
brainwash_makes me wonder, why do we need such an article?22:09
brainwash_I mean, do we have to explain something which does not work properly yet?22:11
brainwash_or something which is not obvious22:11
ochosibrainwash_: ygm22:15
brainwash_did you mail me a book?22:17
brainwash_that's a long article22:17
brainwash_but I like it so far22:18
brainwash_people will start asking questions.. and now we can point them to this article22:19
ochosithat's the idea22:20
brainwash_"our vision" :)22:25
brainwash_but damn, this article is really too long22:26
brainwash_most people on the internets won't read the whole thing :(22:26
brainwash_but I like it, good job22:27
ochosithanks22:27
ochosinot sure i care about whether ppl will read it fully when i post it22:27
ochosibut i wanna have a single page we can send ppl to22:27
ochosiand i expect this change to generate some attention/questions22:28
brainwash_a lot22:29
brainwash_any plans for a short article about the workspace switcher removal (default setup)?22:31
ochosinope, feel free to write one22:46
ochosiwhat kind of stuff do we ship that still needs gst0.10?23:11
ochosiUnit193: wanna merge a few more xfwm4 branches in for your PPA?23:16
ochosii'm specifically thinking of the headerbar patch23:16
