Pwnnai cannot set it to be a keyboard shortcut01:47
brainwashPwnna: I don't think it's bound to anything02:00
Pwnnasure? because F12 currently doesn't launch my terminal anymore02:00
brainwashonly in combination with some modifier keys02:00

brainwashNoskcaj: sorry that I have to bother you once again, I got negative feedback regarding the menu icon tweaks. well, the "new file" don't seem to fit the "open in new tab/window" entries. I got the idea from pcmanfm.. but it somehow really looks bad after all. new final patch to revert this is already attached to the bug report. thanks :)02:13

ochosiwhat's up?13:25
bluesabrenot much atm13:27
jjfrv8afternoon, ochosi, can I run some desktop issues by you?13:27
ochosigo ahead13:27
elfyupgrading little one's 1204 - it's not very quick process, it's upstairs and I'm not - it keeps asking questions :p13:27
ochosibluesabre: that's a good thing though, right? :)13:27
jjfrv8I upgraded my main machine yesterday from Precise and I'm having some issues with the backgrounds13:28
bluesabreyes, indeed :)13:28
elfybbs - also fighting grub on this machine - I love linux :p13:28
ochosijjfrv8: there are some known bugs in xfdesktop13:29
ochosicheck the unresolved ones in the xubuntu-t-bugs blueprint13:29
jjfrv8I have two monitors with an nVidia GT220 adapter and my backgrounds look like this now: http://imagebin.org/30408813:29
ochosihaha, nice13:29
ochosihave you tried to change the wallpaper at all yet?13:30
jjfrv8it seems like on my main monitor it's a composite of all the backgrounds I've tried13:30
jjfrv8on my secondary it's okay13:30
jjfrv8and the background on my greeter screen is my original wallpaper on both monitors13:31
ochosiideally xfdesktop should take care of the transition of the configuration13:31
ochosibut i'd just try to re-set the wallpaper on both monitors with the configuration dialog13:32
ochosihave you tried that at all?13:32
jjfrv8yes13:32
ochosithe other thing you can try is to kill xfdesktop "killall xfdesktop", it'll respawn and hopefully draw the wallpapers correctly the second time13:32
jjfrv8okay, I'll try that13:32
ochosithen if that doesn't work you can always open xfce4-settings-editor and reset the xfdesktop channel (right-click the xfdesktop row on the left -> reset channel), then you get a clean configuration13:33
bluesabrebad day = rm -rf ~/.config/xfce413:33
jjfrv8ochosi, I did the reset channel thing and that did seem to fix the problem... at least until I started customizing again :(13:41
jjfrv8now it's back to the same thing as before.13:42
ochosi:)13:46
ochosiso what are you customizing how exactly?13:46
jjfrv8a background image on primary monitor and solid color on secondary13:47
jjfrv8but it seems even putting a solid color on both, I end up with the composite stuff on the primary after a logoff13:49
ochosiso it works at first but after re-logging in it's borked?13:54
ochosibtw, how did you set up your monitors? nvidia's proprietary drivers or nouveau? xfce's dialog or nvidia's?13:54
jjfrv8nvidia's. all I had to do after the upgrade was reverse the position of the monitors in the nvidia settings dialog13:57
ochosiright, i have no idea whether that could create problems13:58
ochosii myself use propr drivers but use xfce's dialog to set up my monitors13:58
jjfrv8btw, it seems if I stay with the stock background images, all is well, even with a different image on each13:58
ochosiyou could try to use that instead13:58
ochosia-ha13:59
* ochosi shrugs13:59
ochosiideally debug this a bit more and add all your findings in a bugreport upstream on bugs.xfce.org13:59

RFlemingoverall though, I've been using 14.04 since late February and haven't had any real issues... just small things, and they typically disappeared (and subsequently replaced with other small things) in a relatively short period of time.14:48
elfyyep - not had much in the way of show stoppers here either, I've been running it since November14:50

eric_the_idiotyeah, gotta keep you busy with your ppa ;)19:28
CajunTechieHello everyone19:31
CajunTechieI'm looking to get involved as a Python programmer. Any suggestions/tips?19:32
knomeCajunTechie, hey, you one of the people asking for that on the mailing list?19:33
CajunTechieKnome: Indeed I was :-)(19:34
knomeCajunTechie, ok, did you read about the xfce python bindings?19:34
knomethat would be generally useful to know19:35
CajunTechieNo, I haven't yet. I assume that would be on the XFCE site then?19:35
knomethere was a mail about them19:35
knomelet me dig that up19:35
CajunTechieOoh yes, I remember that discussion. That they could use some love19:35
knomehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-April/009985.html19:36
knomeyep19:36
knomeother than that, we're pretty late in the cycle, so not much we have time to get you involved with...19:36
knome...but we will start working on the next release soon, and think what updates we want/need to land for 14.04.119:36
CajunTechieGreat! Then I will start beefing up for the next cycle then 19:37
knomeif you have an irc shell, it would be useful to follow how things usually roll by following this channel19:37
knomemost of the xubuntu contributors are more or less active on IRC19:37
knomeso it's the natural platform for a lot of discussion19:37
knomebeing around you will also get to know the nicks and people behind them19:38
knomeand: welcome!19:38
CajunTechieTrue. Then I will do that. I always forget to start IRC but I'll just let my client idle and check in every now and again.19:38
CajunTechieThank you!19:38
knomeyou might or might not remember me from the list: i'm the xubuntu project lead (until april 17th)19:38
CajunTechieOh yeah, I do remember. I'm still getting names down so please forgive me not connecting19:39
knomeno problem at all19:39
knomeit'll take some time19:39
knomeochosi is simon, who proposed looking at the python bindings for xfce19:39
knomehe's also the artwork lead19:39
CajunTechieAm i correct in assuming pyxfce is what I need to be looking at here?19:40
knomewell, i don't understand "much" about actual development, but i'd guess yes :)19:40
knomeand the thunarx-python stuff too19:40
CajunTechieExcellent. I'm there now and WOW, could use some love is an understatement. I'll also check out the thunar stuff19:41
knomeusually it's best to work with stuff that will scratch your own itch, eg. fix a bug that annoys you19:41
CajunTechieTrue. 19:41
knomeand that's also a very motivating way to start contributing19:41
knomehttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-t-bugs19:42
knome^ that's the list of bugs we are working on *right now*19:42
knomewe will try to fix as many of those for 14.04 release as possible19:42
CajunTechieMany thanks! THAT will come in very handy19:42
knomeif you find a bug that is not marked with "fix released" and doesn't have an assignee, and think you can fix it, feel free to step up and mark yourself as assignee19:42
knomeor just shout out in this channel that you are interested in working with that bug19:43
knomepeople will help you when they are around, if they can19:43
CajunTechieExcellent! Sounds like a very easy process19:43
knomewell.. it should be ;)19:43
knome...and the cherry at the top: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-t/group/topic-t-flavor-xubuntu.html19:44
CajunTechieI have to say, it's a much easier process than some other projects I've been part of. This looks fun19:44
knomeour current progress towards the release19:44
knomewe will most probably not hit 100%, but at least we have some idea where we are at19:44
knomeand as you can see, most of the sub-blueprints are done19:45
CajunTechieVery ysefyl19:45
knomeif you have any qeuestions... just ask19:46
CajunTechie+ useful19:46
CajunTechielol19:46
knomeand again: welcome19:46
CajunTechieI will. I'm going to spend some time studying now and getting the lay of the land. Thank you again!19:46
knomeno problem19:46
knomebe back in a bit ->19:46
NoskcajCajunTechie, If pyxfce is too daunting, (it's not been updated since 4.6 i think), bluesabre makes a fair few of our python apps, and might have some stuff you can work on19:50
knomethere is infrastructure that runs on python too, which is what lderan mostly works with19:54
knomeNoskcaj, we should do various of uploads before 10th for translation updates19:55
knome-of19:55
lderanhello :)20:00
* Logan_ waves20:03
lderanhello Logan_ :)20:03
Noskcajknome, I'm back, light-loocker crshed my pc again20:03
Logan_I'm a MOTU who's about to make the switch to Xubuntu, so feel free to give me tons of merge/sync requests :P20:03
Noskcajhey logan20:03
knomeooh ooh ;)20:03
Logan_I heard there's a need for people with upload rights over here20:03
Logan_from a certain person named Jackson20:03
knomedefinitely...20:03
Noskcaj:)20:03
knomepoke Noskcaj (your person), bluesabre and ochosi 20:04
NoskcajThere's a fair few uploads waiting in the sponsoring queue20:04
knomethat would be a good place to start20:04
Noskcajthunar and xfwm4 spring to mind20:05
Noskcajknome, Should we take some upstream git snapshots for translation updates, or is the a better way?20:05
Noskcaji think my mouse has stopped working now20:08
Noskcajthe cursor20:08
knomeNoskcaj, hrmph, i'd dicsuss that with people who know the conventions better20:10
knomei'd guess it depends what our current version in ubuntu is20:10
brainwashNoskcaj: untiling patch yes/no?20:11
brainwashhttps://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876520:11
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 8765 in General "Tiling does not preserve the original window size" [Normal,New]20:11
brainwashadding all these separate patches is a bit scary though20:12
brainwashbut that's the ubuntu way I guess :)20:13
Noskcajbrainwash, If you need motivation, try to get as many patches in as gnome-control-center20:14
brainwashmore patches than actual code? :D20:14
Noskcaj-0ubuntu5420:15
Noskcajnuff said20:15
brainwashbut isn't that some ancient version which gets patched to the limit?20:16
pleia2Noskcaj: is it possible that this regressed? Just had someone complaining about it on trusty, just updated their kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/122202120:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1222021 in xfce4-power-manager (Debian) "[SRU] xfce4-power-manager does not inhibit systemd from handling buttons and lid events" [Unknown,New]20:18
pleia2closes lid, suspends even though they don't want it to20:18
brainwashmaybe power-manager crashed and does not respond anymore20:19
Noskcajpleia2, I've got the same issue. It's possible it regressed like that, could be something else though20:19
brainwasha regression is somewhat unlikely20:19
brainwashsystemd did not change20:20
brainwashneither did the power-manager20:20
pleia2thanks brainwash 20:20
brainwashbut we got reports that the power-manager stopped working after the first suspend20:21
pleia2I'll ask20:22
pleia2I like suspend, so :)20:23
NoskcajUnlikely, but http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/commit/?id=83b20fd2335a2cc54577019ea9af1a664a93ac28 could be related20:27

ochosihumm, some ppl report suspend problems22:25
ochosiand i'm wondering whether those are general suspend problems or related to greeter or locker22:25
elfyI've kind of seen some rumbling - but I've not been very awake - I can try tomorrow with this machine and the laptop22:26
elfythen whatever logs we need we can have 22:26
ochosiproblem is that for me suspend wasn't that reliable from the beginning in 14.0422:27
ochosiso it's not totally unlikely that it's related to other stuff22:27
ochosi(like graphics driver, etc)22:27
elfysuspend on this machine has always been solid22:28
elfyI just never do it - it being a desktop - seems a bit pointless22:29
ochosiyeah22:29
elfyand the laptop needs a new battery so it is plugged in to the mains ... 22:29
elfylderan: you know I said earlier that light-locker-settings was showing the blank screen at 1 minute after I installed nvidia22:43
elfyI set it to never - seems that since I logged back in it was at 1 minute again22:44
ochosihave you checked xfpm22:44
elfyochosi: yea - that was all set to Never still 22:45
ochosihave you checked "xset q" ?22:45
ochosithere are a few values you can check22:45
ochosimostly the DPMS stuff22:45
ochosiand ScreenSaver22:45
elfyStandby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 022:46
elfydpms ^^22:46
elfyprefer blanking:  yes22:46
elfyscreen saver ^^22:46
elfyoh bah - ignore me completely22:46
elfysigh - no don't ignore me lol22:47
elfyI did a clean install - thought I was in that for a moment ... 22:47
ochosioh bah, don't send me on emotional rollercoasters just like that! :p22:47
elfyochosi: so this only happened after I installed the nvidia driver ealrier today22:47
elfyreinstalling nouveau - will check what that does tomorrow morning22:48
