sergio-br2i installed trusty here, yesterday. Congratulations for all team for this amazing version!00:01
ochosithanks :)00:02
sergio-br2the shotwell icon is missing in 22, 24 and 2400:35
sergio-br2*3200:36
ochosiyeah00:37
ochosinot too bad actually00:37
ochosii drew the ubiquity icon in 4 sizes very quick now00:38
ochosiwe can use the existing shotwell icons in our theme and just change parts of it00:38
ochosithe calendar icons also need a cleanup at some point00:38
ochosiand what annoys me a bit is the huge amount of duplication/uncertainty between status/panel/notifications00:38
sergio-br2when i plug my laptop to AC, battery icon does not change00:40
sergio-br2is it related to the icons? or other thing?00:41
ochosisergio-br2: screenshot plz00:47
sergio-br2hum, it works00:53
sergio-br2but only if my laptop is charging, then there is the right icon00:54
ochosiso when does it *not* work?00:54
sergio-br2if it is with 95% or higher, then the icon is not that charging/AC icon, it has that battery icon00:55
ochosioddd00:55
ochosiluckily we'll have something better next cycle...00:55
sergio-br2like this: http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-27052014-024848.php00:55
ochosibut it is connected/charging?00:56
sergio-br2that the point00:56
ochosihmm, but then00:56
ochosicould you quickly open the power-manager preferences00:56
ochosiand then enable the trayicon there00:57
ochosiit's in the first tab00:57
ochosijust to see whether that shows the correct icon00:57
sergio-br2higher than 95%, my battery does not charge. It charge to 100% only if it has less than 95 %00:57
ochosibtw, the dialog-warning icon in upstream is also much nicer...01:14
ochosibut it's lacking more sizes than it has01:15
sergio-br2ochosi, take a look: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-27052014-032652.php01:28
ochosithen it's probably a bug in upower01:29
ochosiso nothing we can do about it01:29
sergio-br2hum dialog-warning is a yellow triangle right?01:53
ochosiyup01:54
sergio-br2better01:54
ochosiyup01:54
ochosibut also only available in 48px and 64px01:54
sergio-br2red is like stop, danger, not warning01:54
sergio-br2there are other icons different too01:54
sergio-br2apt-daemon-*01:55
ochosiyes, but also those are only available in very few sizes...01:55
sergio-br2maybe he will do other sizes?01:56
sergio-br2well, this can be a to do list for us01:56
sergio-br2i'm very slow, doing other stuff here. I think when i return to brazil, in july, i will have more time01:57
sergio-br2until 14.04.1 we can do all these things01:57
ochosiyup, maybe/hopefully02:00
ochosii don't really think he will do any other sizes02:00
ochosihe only does what he needs for eOS02:00
ochosiwhatever he's not sure about, he doesn't touch02:00
ochosi(or whatever he never sees in eOS)02:01
ochosisergio-br2: i think the warning thing i like enough to quickly do the other sizes...02:06
sergio-br2you do? ok02:07
ochosiyeah, the 24/22 is already done02:09
ochosihumm, only 128px missing now02:17
ochosisergio-br2: if you wanna do that one ^, i'll leave it for you and push what i got now02:17
ochosidon't think i have the energy to do another size now02:17
ochosibut 16,22,24 and 32 are done02:18
sergio-br2ok02:18
sergio-br2push then02:18
ochosiah, nvm, i'm half-done with the 128px version02:21
ochosiyou can focus on other stuff...02:21
ochosisergio-br2: done. i almost *wanna* see a warning dialog now :)02:26
sergio-br2working in it02:27
ochosialrighty, have fun, i gotta get some sleep02:28
sergio-br2hum02:33
sergio-br2gonna sleep to02:37
sergio-br2bye!02:37

slickymasterWorkknome: ^^^ can you please confirm that I add this in the proper place at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings10:37

ochosiok gerat10:37
ochosigreat10:37

slickymasterWorkyeah, but yesterday was due to the fact that I was with my kid, which I won't be next Tuesday10:40
ochosisure10:43
knomeslickymasterWork, when you go to the editing mode, you should always have two things there10:48
knome"Next meeting isn't scheduled yet."10:48
knomeand the "The next Xubuntu..."10:49
knomejust uncomment/comment the appropriate one10:49
knomeand change the URL and the link text10:49
knomeotherwise looks good.10:49
slickymasterWorkknome, I haven't done that though :P10:50
slickymasterWorkI just went ahead and replaced the "Next meeting isn't scheduled yet. with The next Xubuntu Community meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC on Tuesday, June 3rd.10:51
slickymasterWorkI'll have to roll it back10:51
slickymasterWorkknome: think it's fixed as intended now10:54
knomelooks good to me :)10:54
slickymasterWorkcan you confirm, please10:55
knomeyep10:55
slickymasterWorkI left the "Next meeting isn't scheduled yet" commented10:55

brainwashochosi: add bug 1024482 to the trusty blueprint or just to the utopic one?17:08
ubottubug 1024482 in unity-greeter (Ubuntu) "Mouse cursor theme does not change from default after login" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102448217:08
brainwashit's about the missing busy cursor on the root background17:08
brainwashI assume that we want this to be fixed in trusty too, many people actually complain about the missing busy cursor17:09
brainwashjust need to figure out why firefox/thunderbird don't trigger it, most other apps do17:11
brainwashbluesabre: shouldn't lightdm-gtk-greeter depend on lightdm?17:49
elfybrainwash: so is anyone actually reporting that recently for us?19:58
elfyor is it really that old - and Ubuntu19:59
elfyaffecting 9 people in 2 years ...19:59
brainwashthe report was not targeting the busy cursor problem in xubuntu20:02
elfyand is anyone reporting it for Xubuntu is what I'm saying?20:03
elfyI've not seen anything20:03
brainwashbug 132374520:03
ubottubug 1323745 in xfce4-panel (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu: No startup notifications" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/132374520:03
brainwash:P20:03
elfy1 person20:03
elfyif we put every Xubuntu bug on the blueprint it becomes completely pointless20:04
brainwashwell, there is some talk about it on ubuntuforums, askubuntu, xfce forum,..20:04
brainwashwe got a fix for it already20:04
elfybut whatever - fill the blueprint with 100's and 100's of bugs and in 4 months 3 weeks - it'll be still full of 100's and 100's of bugs20:05
brainwashlinking it to the blueprint just helps to actually get the fix in (I hope)20:05
elfywhatever - nothing to do with me 20:06
brainwashit's not like I'm adding tons of reports to the blueprint :/20:06
elfyno I know you aren't :)20:06
elfyI just really wonder about the point in even bothering with a report from 1 person20:06
elfythe ones that should be looked at earlier are ones like xfpm/sound indicator - that we release with and make us look ridiculous20:07
brainwashthe new filed report might only affect 1 person as of now, but the issue has been reported on forums and the debian bug tracker20:08
brainwashwell, it's just a spinning cursor after all.. nothing of importance :)20:09
elfyI just fail to see what a debian bug has to do with us :)20:09
elfythat is Xubuntu - not people in Xubuntu team :)20:10
elfylol 20:10
brainwashjust mentioned it to show that it's a common problem20:10
elfylol20:10
brainwashit affects you and me20:10
elfysorry brainwash :)20:10
elfyit doesn't affect me :)20:11
brainwashbut you can confirm it20:11
brainwashlike every other xubuntu user can20:11
elfyno I can't 20:11
brainwashyou see a spinning cursor when you launch some application?20:12
knomeelfy, you mean you don't consider it a bug, or you see the "working" cursor?20:12
elfyI don't notice this behaviour - can't confirm it 20:12
knomei think it might be a design decision20:13
elfythe bug report isn't particularly descriptive 20:13
elfydo you mean like the 'spinning cursor' you see when you might for instance mount a partition in thunar?20:14
brainwashno, startup notification20:14
elfymeans nothing to me 20:14
brainwashyou start some app and the busy/spinning/working cursor appears until the app is finally loaded20:15
elfyoh that20:15
brainwasha visual feedback20:15
elfyyea don't see that - not that worried about it either :p20:15
brainwash:)20:16
brainwashjust want to know if it's worth to fix this in our LTS release20:17
elfyI'd certainly not be worried enough to go looking for a bug for it - nor report it 20:17
elfyask the XPL :p20:17
brainwashthat's what I did :D20:18
elfyI was just saying that I'd not put it on the blueprint :)20:18
elfyas it's not a Xubuntu thing - we might be affected by it 20:18
elfyanyway - whatever - that being something else I said :)20:20
ali1234https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10630 you probably want to fix this one first20:22
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 10630 in General "keyboard settings panel ignores state of "startup-notification" key when resetting to defaults." [Normal,New]20:22
ali1234because without it, startup notification won't work unless the user turns it off and then on again for every launcher20:22
ali1234note i attached a patch to fix that... several months ago20:23
brainwashright, maybe we could apply it downstream20:25
brainwashthere is also more stuff broken in libxfce4ui20:26
brainwashkb shortcut related20:26
ochosievening22:24
ochosibrainwash: lagging behind on the greeter quite a bit currently in terms of merges etc, too busy with other stuff. but i/we will get to it22:31
ochosias 1.8.5 still hasn't landed in trusty yet, i'm not sure i wanna do another (tiring) effort of backporting a single small patch/fix22:31
ochosibut i won't veto it, if bluesabre feels like it22:32
brainwashmaybe with other potential fixes somewhat later, 1.8.622:33
brainwashwe got plenty of time left with 14.04 :)22:34
brainwashdo you have any idea, why the greeter package does not depend on lightdm?22:34
ochosihm, not really22:38
ochosithe original packaging wasnt done by us, we just kept what was there22:38
ochosii never saw a need for it i guess22:38
brainwashtrue, if no one complains, then there is nothing to fix :)22:39
ochosiyeah, if there are problems that arise from it, we'll deal with it22:39
Unit193forestpiskie: OK, so added in that feature ---v22:45
Unit193xubutrello: due soon22:45
xubutrello  ->  1. Suite B Call (id: 15) due: 2014-06-09 11:00:00 UTC from list: To Do 14.1022:45
ochosibtw, i never thought about this, but when we get rid of indicator-power, we won't have any battery status in the greeter/lockscreen anymore23:26
ochosibluesabre: ^23:26
ochosiunless we add something builtin ourselves23:27
bluesabreshouldn't be so hard to implement23:28
bluesabrethere's a file that keeps track of battery stats and such, right?23:28
ochosiprobably not so hard, but kinda duplication of effort23:28
brainwashI was about to implement this, because the indicator support was broken in the greeter :)23:29
ochosiwell go ahead and do it now then ;)23:29
bluesabre+123:29
ochosifrankly, i'm not sure we really want/need indicators in the greeter23:29
brainwashbut why do you want to remove -power?23:29
ochosithey seem to be a source of myriad problems23:29
bluesabreI'll start merging things soon23:29
ochosibecause we have an xfpm battery plugin for the panel now23:30
ochosior: we will have one in the next release23:30
bluesabrecool23:30
bluesabreso now we just have to add notification-panel support23:30
bluesabremore work!23:30
bluesabre:D23:30
ochosinope23:30
ochosiit's not a systray icon anymore23:30
bluesabreoh23:30
bluesabrewhat is it now?23:30
ochosiit's a regular plugin that you can add/remove23:30
bluesabreoh23:31
ochosiand place anywhere on the panel23:31
brainwashbut there is already a battery panel plugin or?23:31
bluesabreeh23:31
ochosiyes, but this one is integrated with xfpm23:31
ochosimakes much more sense23:31
bluesabrethat makes it less accessible for !xfce23:31
ochosiyeah, but lubuntu is going to qt23:31
Unit193ochosi: I'm proposing the merge of core now, want to be a reviewer?23:31
ochosiUnit193: i can be23:32
brainwashmmh, once unity7 is outdated what will happen with the current indicator stack?23:33
ochosibluesabre: not sure !xfce uses xfpm, we'll wait for the outcry because of the loss of systray icon i guess23:33
ochosiyeah, who knows what'll happen to it23:34
bluesabre:)23:34
ochosinobody in fact23:34
ochosiwhich is why i want us to get as independent from it as we can23:34
ochosiwill be hard to provide real alternatives to indicator-application though23:35
bluesabrepartly depends on what ubuntu wants to do with core applications23:36
bluesabremost of what ubuntu depends on is gnome stuff23:36
bluesabrewhich, most sane people want to escape, but they really are the best available tools23:36
bluesabresince everything else starts with k23:37
bluesabreand tend to invite friends23:37
ochosiyeah, i guess23:37
ochosii think ubuntu will create/use its own core ap stack23:37
ochosiapp23:37
ochosithey're already trying the "convergence of desktop and mobile apps"23:38
bluesabreyeah23:38
Unit193Meh, lp-propose doesn't work. :/23:38
bluesabrehonestly, the converged apps are starting to look really nice23:39
bluesabreand I'll probably pick up an ubuntu phone once they're available23:39
ali1234the next big unity stack change will be the move to Qt23:39
ochosiyeah, which will mean no more custom gtk3 hacks i guess23:40
ochosiand plain upstream gtk3 madness :)23:40
bluesabreyup23:40
bluesabrebrace yourselves ;)23:40
ali1234maybe we should just give up on Gtk and join lxqt project23:40
ali1234port everything to Qt23:41
* ochosi senses duplication of effort23:41
ali1234gtk doesn't seem to be useful or relevant any more23:41
brainwashor join forces with the MATE project :)23:41
ochosiwe can always just use any other desktop instead, but luckily the world isn't falling apart just yet23:41
ochosiali1234: well unity quickly went for qt, i think also because of its usability in the mobile space, or why would you say gtk isn't relevant anymore?23:42
ali1234i say it because gtk seems to only exist for the benefit of gnome now23:43
ochosialso, i use gtk every day and i get my stuff done with it :)23:43
ochosiactually they're starting to take elementary seriously23:43
ochosipartly also though, because their platforms look very similar :D23:43
ali1234no, they're not. what is actually happening is elementary is becoming more and more like gnome shell in every release23:43
ochosiwell, "every release" is easy to say when there has only been one ;)23:44
bluesabre(2)23:44
ochosiluna and?23:44
bluesabrejupiter23:44
ochosiah right23:44
ochosii forgot23:44
bluesabre:)23:44
ochosii think it'd be easier to complain in #gtk about all of this if xfce were already gtk323:45
ochosimaybe we're better off for now with it not being gtk3 yet, but without being there, chances of not being heard are even lower23:45
brainwashisn't it too late for this anyway? gtk3 is pretty old already, why would they listen to Xfce?23:46
ochosiwell history tells you that they hardly ever did23:47
ochosii have no idea how much xfce devs tried to take influence23:47
brainwashzero?23:47
ochosiofourdan is working at red hat as far as i know, so no idea why that never helped :)23:47
ochosibrainwash: i really don't know23:48
brainwashmaybe he got brainwashed by LP23:48
bluesabreyou know all about that23:48
ali1234in fact unity didn't quickly go for qt... they had a qt port which they abandoned once already23:48
bluesabreyup23:49
ochosiright, they went for qt several times :)23:49
* ochosi is saying it all wrong tonight23:49
ali1234in my opinion xfce has bigger problems that gtk2 vs gtk3... the panel is in bad shape for one23:50
ali1234the plugin system has serious problems with events23:51
ochosithere are many places where bugs should be fixed in xfce23:52
ochositoo many unmaintained components23:52
ochosiUnit193: while i'm generally +1 on the core MR, didn't you want to organize testing/feedback with elfy?23:53
Unit193ochosi: It'd be easier to do that after it's merged, I think that was the idea at least.23:54
ochosiali1234: i think the only way you can effectively conquer that problem is by becoming a maintainer of some component and start fixing it up23:54
ochosidoesn't have to be xfwm4, which generally is running okay23:54
Unit193ochosi: The xubuntu-core task can't be created until it's actually part of the archive, so you have to pretend.23:54
ochosias i said, there are so many unmaintained projects there...23:54
ali1234the problems with panel run deeper than that... they are design flaws23:55
ochosiheh, that you'll have to discuss with NSchermer23:55
ochosii remember there being a long fight on the ML between him and brian about the plugin system when nick rewrote the panel23:55
ali1234these are big problems and it's going to be xfce 5 if i start trying to fix them23:55
bluesabreat this point, anything might land for xfce 4.1223:56
bluesabre:)23:56
ochosihehe, +123:56
ochosiUnit193: wasn't there an iso already?23:56
ali1234no, really. it would break all existing plugins23:56
bluesabreah23:57
ochosithen do it with the gtk3 port23:57
ochosithat will also break all existing plugins23:57
Unit193ochosi: Created using the hacky setup, but merge can wait for approval (and merged later) until tomorrow.  I see that as the easiest way to test, but yeah elfy may disagree.23:57
ochosiUnit193: ok, then if you don't mind, let's discuss it with elfy tomorrow23:58
Unit193Yep, sounded like a good idea.  (Wasn't trying to cut out testing, just that testing comes after it's in. :P )23:59
ochosihehe sure23:59
ochosii wasn't suggesting that23:59
ochosii just wanted to know where we're heading23:59
