knomemhm00:08
knomenow write it in a file.00:08
Unit193The point of that is so it matches what's in the makefile now.00:11
knomeright.00:11
knomewell that's good.00:12
Unit193Now, how do you want to handle `cd` and where it expects to be run from? :P00:14
knomeno idea.00:14
Unit193OK, so where's the file you want me to feed this into?00:16
knomehuhu00:17
knomehere's what i know i want00:17
knomehttp://paste.openstack.org/show/390DO9UEoWDKcGyOURTR/00:17
knomethat in index.xml.00:17
Unit193Also, I know it's not supposed to be === fi === :P00:17
knomeand note the href value00:18
knomethat's where the translators file should be.00:18
knomei don'00:18
knomei don't really mind where it is00:18
knomeas long as it's not in the final installated files :)00:18
knomethat paste could go to line 34 in index.xml00:19
knomethis is the "do not avoid printing the paragraph if there is no translators" way00:19
knomebut i think we should start with that00:19
knomebecause everything is set to work like that00:20
Unit193Well we were thinking by language, weren't we?00:26
knomehmm, right00:26
knomeit's not much different anyway00:27
knomethis way we'll always get the paragraph there00:27
knomebut let's get it working like this first.00:27
Unit193I did, https://sigma.unit193.net/~unit193/build/desktop-guide/ln-idp43644284.html but it matters what way we go for a couple reasons...00:28
knomeelaborate00:29
Unit193Because of this: C/translators.xml:2: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document00:29
Unit193<itemizedlist>00:29
Unit193^00:29
knomewhat's the full contents of that file?00:30
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/x6M00aJ4hnYUoKZ35q6c/ or take out the para lines and you get the same dealio.00:30
knomeas i said, the includeable file must have a single wrapping element00:31
knomeso no para + itemizedlist00:31
knomebut what do we need the para for anyway?00:31
Unit193Alrighty, so just sort and uniq? :P00:31
knomethe user should know he's reading the finnish translation.00:32
* knome shrugs00:32
knomewhat's wrong with the default order?00:32
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/gGVRjAvN9PmhmDLeVT4C count the knome. :P00:34
knomeuhh...00:36
knomewait00:36
knomewe do not want to show them *all* in *all* translations00:36
knomejust pt in pt00:36
knomeand fi in fi00:36
Unit193Hrm, well that's fun.00:36
knomehow so? we're already iterating through the languages one by one00:37
knomein both "ends"00:38
Unit193Oh gosh this is annoying. >_<00:48
* Unit193 waits for knome's proposal.00:48
knomefor what? :P00:48
Unit193How to do it.00:49
knomewell, you can save files like translators-fi.xml00:50
knomethen when you are going through the translations themself, just get the lang code and cp translators-fi.xml translators.xml ?00:50
Unit193Not the problem.00:51
knomewhat *is* ?:)00:51
Unit193OK, I think I'm going to revert back to a clean working tree and hope the fix comes through bzr. :P00:54
knomewuz fix?00:56
knometell me what's your problem?00:57
knomethe included file not validating?00:57
Unit193Parser errors out the wazoo, file isn't getting included but exists, etc, etc...00:57
knomemake sure you don't have empty lines00:58
Unit193I don't think I see anything that should be broken, but yet.01:02
knomecan send me the files.01:03
Unit193I don't understand this, I should ignore it and hope it goes away...01:03
knomei can look at them.01:03
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/TnJ23AYsZnGDS84wCZbm - http://paste.openstack.org/show/o3qHnBBdb6Pr3nzMO6OB what's broken?01:07
Unit193So wait, the translations are broken from a clean tree. \o/01:12
knomeuummph?01:13
knomeit's 4am, maybe i should look at this tomorrow...01:16
knomei just can't follow the stuff at all, and it's most definitely not a problem at your end...01:17
Unit193Well, some of it has to be, the translation credits have to be I think.01:17
Unit193OK, good night.  We should just pull slickymaster into it. ;)01:17
knomehave to be what?01:17
Unit193Some of the problem has to be my end, credits should work.01:17
knomedunno01:18
knomelet's look at it tomorrow01:18
Unit193Hah, yeeeey. :P01:19
knomei'm sure we'll get it fixed :)01:19
Unit193Hah!  Just as long as I don't have to be docs lead, or mess too much with Makefiles...01:20
knomeyou don't :P01:20
knomethough definitions of "too much" might differ01:20
* knome hides01:20
knomei think i need to go to sleep.01:46
knomegood night!01:46
Logan_Noskcaj: you should offer to package https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=40738001:51
ubottuDebian bug 407380 in wnpp "ITP: xfce4-eyes-plugin -- eyes plugin for Xfce panel" [Wishlist,Open]01:51
NoskcajLogan_, Yeah, probably. I'll put it into the debian svn, but corsac is busy with other stuff this month04:24
grybrainwash: I did remove xfce4-indicator-plugin - I believe it should have unity as a dependency.04:50
Unit193xfce4-indicator-plugin should have unity as a dep??  Heck to the no..04:53

ochosiwhat did i miss?09:07
Unit193Mainly docs stuff, also link to bug 131026409:08
ubottubug 1310264 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Can't search/find items in the Settings Manager" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/131026409:08
brainwashochosi: simply add the settings category and remove the settings-manager button?09:10
brainwashor just keep the button09:10
grybrainwash: Hello?09:11
brainwashgry: yes?09:11
brainwashgry: did you resolve your problem?09:12
grybrainwash: Xubuntu is not shipped with unity by default, is it? And it is shipped with xfce4-indicator-something by default, isn't it?09:12
brainwashxubuntu does include unity's indicator stack by default09:12
slickymasterWorkyes on both gry 09:12
grybrainwash: Why is the unity indicator stack being included, out of curiousity? I don't have unity installed, and some apps didn't move over to the unity indicator.09:13
brainwashxfce4-indicator-plugin is a wrapper to display these unity indicators in Xubuntu09:13
gryI mean: what problem is being solved here? Why not stick to one thing instead of 2?09:14
brainwashit has been this way for many cycles09:14
brainwashstarting with 14.04 we now support the new gtk3 indicators09:15
gryI've unfortunately  been out of the loop since 12.04 or whatever that is. I just updated to 14.04, and you added a new indicator which has something to do with unity, but apps keep trying to move over to it despite unity not being installed.09:15
grySome apps (notes, for example) also fail to move over. I don't think unity and gtk3 are that closely related - you can rewrite notification area in gtk3 if you like.09:16
gryYou don't need to do it in utterly overcomplicated way like this.09:16
brainwashif an application supports the app indicator, it will be displayed in the indicator area, otherwise it will use the fallback solution (notification area)09:17
gryOkay, so I need to figure out what to do. Could you please tell me what is the role of unity in the new gtk3-supportive indicator applet.09:17
brainwashwe only use some of unity's indicators09:18
gryWhat should I read to understand what unity does? And how complex is it to have notes in the new indicator applet?09:19
brainwashso it's not the whole unity desktop environment 09:19
gry"What should I read to understand what unity does? " means things like "can it work with gtk3 without unity's indicators" and things like that.09:19
brainwashyou will have to provide a patch for the notes apps09:19
brainwashbasically there is no problem, because we include both indicator and notification area, so all tray icons should show up09:21
Unit193brainwash: Which all do, except Quassel.09:21
gryFor new users yes - old users will upgrade and only have the notification area only. Not all of them know how to come to irc and ask questions, or how to add a second applet.09:21
brainwashoh, what about other QT apps?09:21
Unit193If they support the newer API, sure.  VLC does fine, as does (mostly) Skype.09:22
brainwashgry: right, migrating user configurations is a permanent problem09:22
Unit193s/problem/feature/ some, including me, would say.09:22
brainwashold user accounts won't switch to whisker menu either, etc09:23
gryI would think you're trying to make things compatible. I.e. if you can write some more core for notification area, do that - it will be less confusing?09:23
grycore -^code09:23
brainwashas of now we are glad that things work how they work09:24
grySorry?09:25
brainwashand like I said before, you can always remove the indicator area from the panel, it's optional09:25
gryIt's not. When I remove it, the apps don't figure out how to put themselves to notification area.09:25
brainwashstock Xfce does not ship the indicator area, so it is optional09:26
gryOkay. I uninstalled xfce4-indicator-plugin -- I will check what works and what doesn't, after I log out and log in.09:26
brainwashright, please do09:26
ochosibrainwash: i'm in favor of adding the category to the menu, but it will be a regression for those using the traditional appmenu09:27
Unit193Do we need the website links, still?09:27
gryOkay, it works now, everything is in notification area. Where did the indicator applet come from? Is it builtin? If not, I'll blame user error..09:28
Unit193You can also remove indicator-* packages if you'd like, and some other libs.09:28
brainwashochosi: will people with the classic app menu complain about the extra category?09:29
gry?09:29
brainwashgry: xfce4-indicator-plugin is only the panel plugin, you can also remove the actual indicator packages (indicator-*)09:31
gryI understood that. Thanks. The panel plugin is not builtin? I am trying to understand where it came from.09:31
brainwashit's an external panel plugin09:32
brainwashor what do you mean exactly?09:32
brainwashexternal panel plugins are shipped in their own packages09:32
brainwashthe notification area (internal plugin) is part of xfce4-panel09:33
ochosianyway folks, my connection continues to be shaky as always, if important stuff comes up, just email me09:38
Unit193ochosi: Perhaps email Lyz with requested login details?09:39
grybrainwash: I guess it would make sense for ubuntu to wait for xfce to go gtk3. Before it does, all apps -- including gtk3 ones -- appear to be happy with gtk2. Unity-based things look to be a waste of time, xfce folks would get to it in a compatible way so any app that talks to xfce would magically talk to a new notification area -- that's how I define compatibility.09:48
ochosiUnit193: it just feels like a possibly useless effort, and i can't even get/access my irssi profile folder for the moment, so i'd have to do that all over again (=waste of time)09:49
gryThat's what my expectations are, anyway. I also grepped the gzipped logs and I see that I upgraded the indicator plugin recently, but I didn't install it myself, so something was shipped with it and didn't uninstall it properly (I had gnome-ish ubuntu desktop installed before).09:49
grySo I just see that it's not built-in like you said and hope that it'll be available as an extra ever since, but if other users ask, it should be interesting where they got it from. I dunno where I did.09:50
brainwashit should be installed by default if xubuntu-desktop is installed09:51
brainwashit's part of the xubuntu experience09:51
brainwashand works fine for most people (we did much testing)09:51
knomeUnit193, i thought we dropped the links already.09:52
grybrainwash: "Works fine for most people" to have two borders around two different applets when only one would suffice? How is it better than using the old one?09:52
Unit193knome: xubuntu-default-settings: /usr/share/xubuntu/applications/xubuntu-website.desktop  Still.09:53
knomeUnit193, i noticed the same, but at least they are not in the main menu.09:53
knomei mean, the root level09:53
knomeor are they? :)09:53
brainwashgry: sadly this discussion seems to lead nowhere :/09:53
knomegry, with the old way, not all of the indicators worked.09:54
knomegry, if you are willing to patch that (and make it work with gtk3), it's very welcome09:54
knomegry, otherwise, we will keep using what we use now since at least all the things work now.09:54
knomegry, if you don't like that, you can use the old way and miss some of the indicators09:54
gryI don't know where else to ask, I need some more details. If you give me some thoughts on what did not work, I'll check and consider fixing.09:55
knomegry, or fix the old stack.09:55
gryI'm just conservative. I don't like new things, especially if they're builtin and the entity of problems they address is empty.09:55
gryWhile xfce folks would convert their stuff to gtk3 smoother anyway.09:56
gryI'd be happy to stop complaining and fix the old stack - what are its problems?09:56
knomei'm not technical enough to point out the exact problems, but others can, and ultimately, it's all on the logs.09:57
Unit193knome: They are.09:57
gryI would probably look at some sort of bug tracker but I've never found launchpad intuitive without some sort of kicks09:57
knomeUnit193, oh. not the whiskermenu favs? :)09:58
Unit193I don't use whisker.09:58
gryit would have to be in xfce's bug tracker probably, but I've not used that either09:58
knomeUnit193, they aren't09:58
knomeUnit193, so i guess it's a good idea actually... those who keep on using the old menu will still see them.09:58
Unit193Meh.09:59
knomegry, i appreciate that you are saying you are willing to help, but seriously, i don't know how much time i should use to help you if you can't seem to be comfortable using a bug tracker09:59
knomeUnit193, i'm also with dropping them.09:59
brainwashgry: xubuntu 12.04 already ships with xfce4-indicator-plugin (for gtk2 indicators) and the notification area09:59
knomeerr, good.09:59
brainwashgry: so having both areas in the panel is nothing new10:00
gryknome: it's more of "which tracker to use" than "how to use it" -- I'm not very familiar with whose problems to fix, distro's ones or xfce's ones10:00
Unit193knome: Oh, and anyone else I should ping/add to the merge proposal for -core?10:01
gryalso, if you feel that I'm too lazy, feel free to ask me to sleep more; I'm not sleeping well at all10:01
knomeUnit193, well you probably should be corresponding mainly with ochosi now :)10:01
grybrainwash: I'm not looking at new things that fix unknown problems before I give up fixing unknown problems10:01
Unit193knome: Already set him as reviewer and talked to him, grabbing you because :online: :P10:01
knome^ see10:01
knome:P10:01
Unit193ochosi: Alrighty, anyone else I should snag/ping/add to the -core merge proposal for reviewing?10:02
brainwashgry: so I guess that you should start with porting Xfce to gtk3 and then somehow merge the indicator plugin into the notification area10:03
gryyup, I think the xfce folks are doing something in that direction already10:04
brainwashthey do, but they need help to speed up the process :)10:04
grywithout using unity stuff - so it's up to fixing old applet and then writing it in new gtk310:04
gryyes I agree10:05
gryI'll look at what they're doing and shout back if I have issues, that should be a decent way10:05
ochosiUnit193: no, i wanted to talk to elfy but couldn't get a hold of him yet (or maybe he couldn't get a hold of me)10:06
Unit193Cool, so I'll just sit tight, no problem.10:06
