bluesabreCan anybody confirm if this is still an issue for them: https://bugs.launchpad.net/light-locker-settings/+bug/130365209:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1303652 in light-locker-settings (Ubuntu) "Blank screen setting lost after installing nvidia driver" [Undecided,New]09:33
bluesabre/them/you09:33
ochosielfy: hmm, those two testers on the lid-close bug seem to have misunderstood the bug. one thinks it's related to the screen DPMS setting and the other seems to think it's related to auto-login on boot time...09:51
ochosiso i'm kinda wondering whether to ignore that...09:53

ochosihey sergio-br2 11:30
knomeelfy, see my looong reply ;)11:31
sergio-br2hey ochosi11:36
sergio-br2congratulations 11:36
sergio-br2(late...)11:37
ochosithanks sergio-br2 11:37
ochosimake sure you "git pull" before committing stuff in elementary-xfce ;)11:37
ochosianyway, wanted to ask how things are going with the open issues for our next release11:38
ochosii also noticed that i have to draw two more libreoffice sizes (there are currently 128px apps and 96px mimes in the old style)11:38
sergio-br2yeah, i messed up, sorry11:38
ochosihehe, no problem, it happens11:39
sergio-br2lua mime is uploaded, with that 24 px icon. I don't know if it's worth doing 16 px for the news mimes11:42
sergio-br2(and i tried other color, not so good)11:42
ochosinews mimes?11:44
sergio-br2(php, perl... that i was thinking)11:48
sergio-br2mimetypes11:48
sergio-br2mime is other thing in english :D11:48
ochosiah11:50
ochosi:)11:50
sergio-br2i would take this 96 and 128 px libreoffice icons (i think i said i could do them), but apparently there are many things to do12:07
sergio-br2when do you think to release new version ochosi? beta1 of utopic?12:08
ochosiwell, i'd like to decouple the icon-theme a bit from xubuntu12:09
ochosias we have other distros that use them too12:09
ochosiso i'd like to finish the stuff we need for the next release asap12:09
ochosiand whenever we need a new release for xubuntu, we do a 0.x.1 release12:09
ochosiso a maintenance release for xubuntu mostly12:09
sergio-br2thougt a name for the theme?12:10
sergio-br2elementary-plus?12:10
ochosimeh, nah12:11
ochosibut yeah, i haven't thought about it for a while12:11
ochosisergio-br2: btw, i've started with the 96px mimes already for LO, so no need to do that12:17
ochosiand as you said, you already have other things to finish first12:18
sergio-br2ok12:20
elfyafternoon12:38
ochosihey elfy 12:39
elfysaw your reply on the bug :)12:39
ochosii think we oughta change the bug description12:40
ochosiotherwise we get more fake tests12:40
elfyoooh it's a bug - I'll add my kind of the same random issue to it  ... 12:40
ochosior tests for other bugs12:40
ochosisuspending is generally a thing that can fail12:40
ochosiso we can get all kinds of issues mixed up there...12:40
elfyochosi: yea - agreed 12:41
knomeelfy, read my reply? :P12:41
ochosielfy: anyway, i've put things in motion so that we can test the final patch soon12:42
elfyknome: I did - as there were stats and 99.999% of stats are made up I ignored it :p12:42
knomehah, well they aren't made up :P12:42
ochosielfy: (this was only a quick hack to see whether this approach actually works)12:42
elfyochosi: yep - I understand 12:42
knomeelfy, the first two paragraphs, i hope, answers your question...12:42
elfyknome: yea it did :)12:42
elfyochosi: Black screen after reboot from lid-close suspension ?12:43
knomeelfy, also, i'd read the conclusions after the stats ;)12:43
knomebut bbiab, lunch/dinner12:43
elfyknome: I didn't really ignore it lol 12:43
ochosielfy: reboot is really too ambiguous. "Black screen after wakup from suspending by closing the laptop lid" maybe?12:43
elfysounds good to me 12:44
elfydone 12:44
ochosity12:44
ochosibtw, knome mentioned a few things wrt -release today12:45
ochosii'm still very new to this, so you might have to hold my hand a bit this cycle12:45
elfyit's shame that these things don't get discussed in here :|12:45
elfyochosi: anyway - if I can help you - just ask :)12:46
ochosinah, this was just a PM between him and me where he shoved all the team-ownership down my throat12:46
ochosinothing of substance was discussed12:46
elfyok :)12:46
ochosii just asked what the release team has to do12:47
elfyjust so long as it's not bunches of xubuntu-team stuff that should be in here being in some random shimmer channel ;)12:47
ochosiheh, i hear you. will try to be more focussed in this respect12:47
ochosithing is, sometimes i'm not sure it's good if we pollute this channel with discussions on the greeter roadmap12:48
ochosior stuff we're working on in parole12:48
elfythe trouble is - if bits of it are important - then it get's missed12:48
elfywe've already had one thing going on with non-communication this cycle12:49
ochosithis cycle == 14.10?12:49
elfyyea12:49
ochosiwhich thing then?12:49
elfysomeone just chucking a request to the m/l for testing something - I knew absolutely nothing about it 12:50
elfyI might have been sending something at the same time12:50
ochosiright12:52
ochosinot sure whether that was discussed anywhere12:52
ochosii presume you mean the call for testing menulibre?12:52
elfyyea12:53
ochosii think bluesabre just wanted to help you by doing the work himself12:53
ochosibut i agree, if an email has "testing" in the subject line, you should be made aware of that first12:53
elfythat's great - in itself - but if I'd been ready to do something with the testers - it wouldn't have helped12:54
elfyanyway - this just brings home the need for better communication - one way or the other :)12:54
ochosiyeah12:54
ochosii think we should discuss this at tomorrow's meeting though12:55
elfyif we don't do something like trello team wide - perhaps we can add those likely to want things tested to the board - then they can make notes on it about that they're up to - so there are no surprises12:55
elfyyep 12:55
ochosii think the easy solution would be: if there is a call for testing, send it to you instead of the list12:56
elfymy issue is that I have to plan testing around immovable things like milestones - people chucking random stuff about doesn't help with that12:56
ochosithing is that there aren't *so* many ppl here working on app-development12:56
ochosior even bugfixing12:56
elfyyep I know - which makes the communication thing even more exasperating :)12:56
elfyit's not like we have to look at a list of 200 people to see who needs to know something lol12:57
ochosiyeah12:57
ochosiexactly12:57
ochosiwould you be fine with this routine of just re-routing these emails through you?12:57
ochosior would you prefer some other process12:57
elfylet's see what occurs in the meeting re m/l's and stuff12:57
ochosiyeah, i actually seem to have a problem with the @xfce address12:58
ochosii haven't received stuff from the ML for a day oro so12:58
elfyI seem to be getting the digests - which is all I get 12:59
elfyso they are coming out13:00
ochosiyeah13:00
ochosii also haven't received stuff from the xfce-ml13:00
ochosiso it surely is related to my forwarding13:00
elfyI'd guess so13:01
knomeone option is to leave pre-alpha time for random teting13:05
knome*testing13:05
elfyknome: I specifically have set it so that we'll have loads of time apart from milestones at the end 13:06
knomeyep13:06
knomei understand13:06
knomethough, the other issue is13:07
knomethe menulibre release was a clear bugfix release13:07
elfythat's not the issue13:07
knomewhich fixed many things recently reported13:07
knomeit's better to get them confirmed fixed now13:07
knomethan later13:07
elfythe issue is communication is abysmal13:07
elfyI would have said something to [team] in the m/l about how testing was planned - but it was completely ignored last time by the majority of us13:09
knomewell, i can only speak for myself13:10
knomenot replying doesn't necessarily mean ignoring13:10
knomeeven if nobody replied anything, it's good to have an informal mail on the list13:11
elfywell I didn't :)13:11
knomeand it'll be more discoverable if we decide to moderate the list13:11
elfywell actually I did - just not to team 13:11
elfymoderation doesn't equal people communicating things ;)13:12
knomeno13:12
knomenor does it mean people will actually look at the archives13:12
elfyanyway - I really don't want to get into this discussion now 13:13
knomeelfy, is the QA schedule for 14.10 anywhere visible?13:16
elfythe draft is on the mailing list 13:17
knomehmpf.13:17
knomei must have missed it this time...13:17
knomeor then just forgot :P13:17
knomehmm, right13:18
knomeactually, what i think we need to discuss is13:18
knometesting outside the testing schedule13:18
knomebecause we will always need it13:18
knomeit's great we have a lot of time free at the end of the cycle13:19
knomehowever, releases do not always happen at ideal times13:19
elfythen that is down to those needing that stuff discussed to bring it up 13:19
knomethe other question is:13:20
knomeis, for example, menulibre testing calls inappropriate for the xubuntu list?13:20
elfyno - why would it be 13:20
knomewell,13:20
knomeit's not exactly a xubuntu project :)13:20
elfytesting for xubuntu is 13:21
ochosiyeah, it's used in elementary and other distros too13:21
knomewhile it is connected, and it's in our seed, the xubuntu team isn't technically liable for the testing13:21
knomeshouldn't the "testing for xubuntu" happen when menulibre is on the testing calendar?13:21
knomeand within the testcases we have13:21
elfysurely the same can be said for nearly everything that we test13:21
knomeyes13:24
knomewe don't have general "please test this new abiword release" mails on the list though13:25
knomewe only test it within our own testing routines13:25
knomeso, the qeustion is13:25
knomeshould menulibre have a special position because it's developed "in-house"?13:26
elfyI guess that if someone needed something testing and it didn't impact on any planned testing then I've not too much of a problem with it13:26
knomeand if yes, do we expect its testing to be scheduled with the xubuntu testing13:26
knomeor do we allow it its own testing schedule, which is "test when released"13:27
ochosiknome: strange, i just received your mail wrt teams, but the earlier one about MLs was "lost" or something.. need to dig through the online archive i guess13:27
knome:)13:27
ochosiseems like the xfce-forward is a bit unreliable atm13:27
elfyin that position then xubuntu mailing list isn't the right place 13:27
knomeochosi, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-May/010193.html13:28
elfybut that's nto any different than us testing a bug fix for abiword is it?13:28
knomewell,13:28
knomethe difference is13:28
knomeif we're testing a bugfix for abiword13:28
knomeit's a known bug that xubuntu users/testers reported13:29
knomeand something that's important for us13:29
knomethe menulibre bugfix stuff is the same, except that the call was for a whole bunch of bugs13:29
knomeeg. a bugfix release13:29
elfywas that NOT important to us?13:30
knomeheh, of course13:30
knomelet me try to rephrase13:30
knomemenulibre got a new bugfix release13:30
knomeand then we got the call for testing13:30
knomewhen abiword gets a bugfix release13:30
knomewe don't get a notification, nor do we specifically test the bugfixes right after that13:31
knomebut in accordance to our own testing schedule13:31
knomewell, testing always happens parallely13:31
elfyno - but if someone asked me to try to fit in a specific test for abiword then I would 13:31
knomebut that's different13:31
knomeif abiword released 3.4.113:32
knomeor whatever13:32
knomewe wouldn't test the 3.4.1 release13:32
knomewe'd check if it generally works13:32
elfymmmm13:32
knomeand if the bugs we have experienced were fixed13:32
knomenow,13:32
knomemenulibre got a similar release13:32
knomefor "some" reason, all the bugs fixed were experienced by us13:32
knomebut the call was for that menulibre release13:33
knomefor that time only13:33
knomenot something we'd have to keep regularly checking13:33
elfyif 3.4.1 got released after we'd done the call that included abiword - then nothing would specifically be done till the next cycle13:33
knomeelfy, exactly13:33
knomeelfy, and if it got released before we tested it13:33
knomeelfy, we would wait until we hit the abiword dates on the schedule13:33
elfythen we test what is in the daily at that point13:33
elfyyes 13:34
knomeor we wouldn't wait13:34
knomebecause we didn't know a new version was out13:34
knomewe'd just notice it when we test13:34
knomeand notice those bugs were gone13:34
elfybut - we try to be flexible - if someone says something about something specific13:34
knomesure13:34
knomeas i said, there's always parallel stuff going on13:34
knomeregardless of the testing schedule13:34
knomenow the question is13:34
elfyso I really don't understand your point here :)13:35
knomeis menulibre important enough, and13:35
knomeis the bug release minor enough13:35
knometo be okay to allow parallel testing, even if it was during some other scheduled testing13:35
knomeand possibly:13:35
knomeis the people who do the scheduled tests the only people who do testing at all13:36
knomebecause there might be somebody who is specifically interested about menulibre testing13:36
knome<-13:36
elfywho knows 13:36
elfyall I *know* is who reports things13:36
knomebut doesn't *necessarily* take part in all scheduled tests13:36
knome<- kind of13:36
knomeyeah, we don't know :)13:37
elfylook 13:37
elfyI really don't understand what you're getting at - frankly I'm not that worried about what we test - as long as team is happy that what needs to be tested13:37
elfywhat I do worry about is a free for all - when everyone and his dog sends testing calls to the list13:38
knomelol13:38
elfyit's really simple 13:38
knomei wouldn't consider sean "everyone and his dog" ;)13:38
elfywell no - but you know what I mean 13:38
knomei do13:39
knomei haven't seen much calls for testing that have been irrelevant though13:39
elfyand is seems to me that you're just trying to make it sound ok for Sean to do what he did13:39
knomeno, not really...13:39
knomei guess i personally think it's okay13:39
elfyif team thinks that - then that's fine - but I don't and I won't put up with being kept oput of the loop on testing13:39
knomebut if we want that out of the list, i completely understand that too13:39
elfyand if it keeps happening then I'll just go13:39
knomewell, we don't want that13:40
knomei agree that sean should have asked you first13:40
elfyit is really simple - communication was abysmal last cycle - and it looks exactly the same at the moment from where I'm sitting13:40
ochosisergio-br2: LO mimes are done, so only apps/128 is missing for that piece...13:40
sergio-br2great13:41
knomeelfy, as ochosi asked, would you be fine if all calls for testing went through you then?13:41
knomeelfy, i'm just weighing options, i'm not deciding anything, don't worry :)13:42
knome(i don't even have the power to do so anymore)13:42
elfyand I'll say the same thing again - let's see what happens in the meeting 13:42
knomehow will the meeting make a difference?13:42
knomedecisions about mailing lists?13:42
elfyyep 13:43
elfyand trello perhaps 13:43
knomebluesabre's mail would have been automatically accepted anyway13:43
elfybecause if that's just a we're really not going to do that - then we do need to do something 13:43
knomeor he could have approved it himself if not :P13:43
knomeone of the issues is clearly too much traffic on the list.13:44
knomelet me fix that:13:44
knometoo much irrelevant traffic13:44
knomei seriously want to find a solution that works for you and the team, and any potential people who do calls for testing13:45
elfyI'm not worried about *me* :) I just want *us* to be in a better place with regard to knowing at least the bare bones about what's going on13:47
elfygives us all a fighting chance13:47
knomeyep13:48
ochosiknome: read up on the whole ML proposal, thanks for that!14:08
knomenp14:08
ochosiafter reading the statistics i somewhat agree, but we should talk to all moderators about this14:08
ochosias it will suddenly increase their workload from nearly 0 to 3 per week on average14:09
knomeall current moderators, or all moderators that were moderators when we started talking about this?14:09
knomewell, 0 is inexisting14:09
knomeit's probably 1 now14:09
ochosiwell i'd want all of them to "sign up" for this14:09
knomeand more if we count those mails we need to discard14:10
knomesure14:10
=== qwebirc612198 is now known as slickymasterWork
knomebut tbh, i believe the policy will take care that the workload will decrease14:10
ochosihopefully yes14:10
ochosiactually, as an example of the past, #xfce-dev was closed a longer while ago14:11
ochosibecause there was so much random noise there14:11
ochosiafter a year it could be re-opened14:11
knomemhm14:11
ochosiand has been okay since then14:11
knomeyep14:11
ochosieven if it might become busier/noisier again, there was a long/er term effect14:12
ochosiso i'm generally +1 on this14:12
knomeyes14:12
knomei hate to say this, but there seems to be a group of people who are the root of the random noise14:12
a5m0how can i get lightdm to have the correct resolution and correctly show my dual-monitor wallpaper? (xubuntu 14.04)14:31
ochosia5m0: this is the development channel, for support questions ask in #xubuntu14:31
brainwashochosi: logind hibernate policy has been finally adjusted17:10
brainwashhttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=301f9684e6465df5d0590f6c571fe3229ded966d17:10
ochosiguess that'll land in ubuntu at some point automatically17:12
brainwashonce ubuntu switches to systemd completely17:12
brainwashochosi: can we merge https://code.launchpad.net/~thad-fisch/xubuntu-default-settings/migrate-kb-shortcuts ?17:16
brainwashand what about https://code.launchpad.net/~thad-fisch/xubuntu-default-settings/remove-leftover-conffile ? del the branch?17:16
ochosibrainwash: kb-shortcuts branch merged, the other one i'm not sure we really need...17:28
brainwashfirst we would need to close the lp report17:29
ochosiyou could extend your MR to also fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/131109017:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1311090 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "After removing xubuntu-default-settings package lightdm failed to start" [Medium,Triaged]17:35
ochosithat seems more important actually17:35
brainwashbut why extend if the first one is somewhat obsolete?17:36
brainwashit happened during the development phase17:36
ochosiyeah, you can also just fix the latter and remove the other branch17:37
brainwashmaybe17:39
brainwashI also forgot about the non working kb shortcut issue :/17:39
brainwashthe problem is that the user config file is created based on the xubuntu AND Xfce one17:41
brainwashwhich differ slightly17:41
brainwashkey-wise17:41
ochosihow do they differ and what's the problem exactly?17:42
ochosiis there a bugreport already?17:42
ochosibrainwash: you can delete your remove-leftover.. branch now17:43
brainwashe.g. xubuntu uses alt+f5 to maximize a window and alt+f10 is not mapped anymore17:44
brainwashbut the normal Xfce kb shortcut xml assigns alt-f10 to maximize window17:44
brainwashso the user xml will contain alt+f5 and alt+f10 for maximize window17:44
knomeassign all unassigned keys to a script that plays a "meow" sound!17:45
* knome hides17:45
brainwash2 entries for the same command17:45
brainwashnow the user tries to reassign it, but only one entry will be deleted and a new one created17:45
brainwashthe new one will be ignored17:46
ochosido you have a solution for that already?17:46
ochosi(other than dropping xubuntu shortcuts)17:46
knomedo not inherit xfce shortcuts?17:47
knome:)17:47
brainwashmaybe it's a simply prefix issue17:49
brainwashbecause we store our xubuntu related configs in /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu17:49
brainwashso the user config file should be only created based on this file17:50
brainwashit's an easy fix I guess17:52
ochosibbl17:53
brainwashwe can ignore already "corrupted" xml files?17:54
brainwashjust tell the user to delete it, so it will be re-created properly?17:54
brainwashone could add some sort of clean up mechanism, but that's maybe overkill17:55
brainwashand it won't be accepted upstream, so we'll have to carry it downstream :)17:56
