Unit193And, I'll presume we're going to stick with 'maybe-ubiquity'?01:07
Unit193I should say my reasoning, too.   So yes it gives a prettier selection, but it does make it harder to get people to add boot options when there's a problem booting.01:37
* pleia2 follows up02:23
Noskcajafternoon elfy 06:21
NoskcajAny idea if xfpm is stable enough for 14.10?06:21
Noskcajbluesabre, same question to you06:22
elfyno idea 06:25
ochosiNoskcaj: if you're referring to 1.3.0, it still has a few quirks (some of them already ironed out in git) but it's at least as stable as 1.2.0 and we can then get rid of our patches07:20
ochosiso yeah, i'd say let's go for it07:20
ochosifurthermore, as i'm personally involved in making it stable, i think we'll make it really a lot better until 14.10 gets out07:21

elfy#topic Open action items10:01
elfyall we've got here are the 2 specs for Utopic 10:01
elfy#subtopic Inxi10:01
elfyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Utopic/Inxi10:01
ochosiright, i'm in favor of adding it to the default seed10:02
elfyI am too10:02
ochosiit's not really heavy and might help a lot with debugging issues10:02
ochosiso in a way, it seems like a no-brainer to me10:02
Unit193Only bad thing is lm-sensors.10:02
ochosithat's a depend?10:02
ochosior a recommend?10:02
ochosiwhat's the downside of lm-sensors (apart from it not working for every hardware)?10:02
Noskcaj+1 to inxi, although some of it's depends could use a merge from debian10:03
elfyochosi: seems to be a recommends10:03
ochosiNoskcaj: which ones specifically and why?10:03
Unit193ochosi: Runs an init script (only sets, so it's a oneshot not daemon)10:04
Unit193Noskcaj: ...It's sync'd from Debian...10:04
Noskcajochosi, lm-sensors is near always a bugfix release behind debian. I'm not sure it's an issue though10:05
ochosii see, any other downsides that should be taken into account?10:05
Unit193People use it wrong? :P10:06
ochosiheh10:06
ochosifine, we need to write some docs for it, is what you're saying i guess10:06
ochosiadd it to the FAQ or xubuntu-docs10:06
ochosislickymaster: thoughts on this ^ ?10:06
Unit193FAQ, docs I think would be way overkill.10:07
ochosiok, suggestion: email to the mailinglist about inxi to give ppl a final opportunity to raise concerns10:07
elfyI'd agree with Unit193 10:07
elfyochosi: yep - sounds good to me10:08
ochosiif there are no objections within a week, we add it to the seed10:08
elfy#action Unit193 to mail the devel list re inxi10:08
meetingologyACTION: Unit193 to mail the devel list re inxi10:08
ochosiUnit193: mind to write the email?10:08
elfy:p10:08
ochosiah, heh, you're way ahead of me elfy :D10:08
ochosi(i think i said i have a laaaag here ;))10:08
elfypardon?10:08
elfy:p10:08
elfy#subtopic Hexchat10:09
elfyso - while I'm generally in favour of us moving to hexchat from xchat - the 2 bugs I've reported for it are really quite annoying ;)10:09
ochosiright, i was originally simply in favor, i'd like to extend the scope of this discussion to s/xchat/pidgin/ for irc10:10
elfy1 I reported, other was already reported at github10:10
ochosiwhat bugs exactly, elfy?10:10
ochosi(best #info them...)10:10
elfy#info https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/103010:10
elfy#info https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/100810:10
ochosiwould you say those are blockers?10:10
elfynot sure tbh - xchat doesn't suffer from them10:11
elfythe window resizing issue has been marked as an enhancement - no idea what that means 10:11
ochosiright, but what other advantages does hexchat offer over xchat (apart from being actively developed)?10:11
ochosiUnit193: ^10:11
ochosielfy: i guess it means it's not really considered a bug ;)10:12
NoskcajI dislike pidgin for irc, but as long as #xubuntu is accessible with it, there's not that much point to having an irc client default. If we do go to hexchat though, i'd like someone to investigate some more xubuntu style theming for it (which is supported upstream)10:12
Unit193I was sold at "SASL", and I don't use GUI clients so other than that.10:12
Unit193Noskcaj: Everyone does, it has "security" leaks too.10:12
elfywhat's the point in having pidgin?10:12
ochosiIM in general i guess10:13
Unit193To have a reason for -messsages?10:13
elfyUnit193: lol10:13
ochosii feel our default app set is pretty much made to mirror what ppl used to have in e.g. winxp10:13
Unit193Or, pidgin is for torchat.10:13
ochosii'm fine with reviewing that and considering alternatives, we have a few cycles to experiment now (as we have non-LTS releases ahead)10:14
elfyyep10:14
ochosiso i'm fine with trying to move away from xchat10:14
ochosiand "seeing what happens"10:14
elfypersonally pidgin is one of the apps I use to make sure that testcases are written right only 10:14
Unit193Thought that was gmb...10:15
elfyone of the apps10:15
ochosiyeah, i never use either of them (pidgin, xchat)10:15
NoskcajI've never used pidgin.10:15
NoskcajUse hexchat a lot though10:15
elfyI used to use xchat - I use hexchat now - so having it would make life easier for me :)10:15
ochosiNoskcaj: what exactly did you mean with xubuntu styling btw?10:15
ochosielfy: yeah, but you can still "have it" either way, we're really talking about the default for everybody...10:16
elfyyea I know ;)10:16
ochosijust sayin, that's a very common mixup10:16
ochosis/we/i/ :)10:16
Unit193i're10:17
ochosi:)10:17
elfyIf I was going to use one - I'd rather use the one that's actively being worked on10:17
Noskcajochosi, The hexchat default colours are really ugly and there are ways to set new icons and new colours in the config files10:17
elfywhich is why *I* moved 10:17
NoskcajJust extra xubuntu-isation we can add10:17
ochosiNoskcaj: ok, i guess we can look into that once we've settled on hexchat10:18
Noskcajok10:18
ochosiso what i take away from the discussion up to now is that few of us here use pidgin, so we need to probably try it practically to see whether it could simply be enough by default for irc access10:18
ochosicould also be that others in or around the team have used it more10:19
ochosiiirc ali1234 and bluesabre used it10:19
ochosiimo we should investigate this a bit more and extend the specification to include pidgin10:20
elfyhaving an IM and an IRC tool doesn't really hurt us imo10:21
ochosiUnit193: well those are valid concerns (the ones just raised in -ot), but this is only about the average user who uses one channel to get support10:21
Unit193I was joking around...10:22
elfyochosi: well if the discussion is about the average user looking for support - the majority of those people turn up with webchat10:22
elfyand need neither pidgin or (he)xchat10:22
ochosiyeah, i guess we link them to webchat in the installer, no?10:22
ochosii wonder whether we can add a link there to open pidgin instead10:23
Unit193And embed on the site.10:23
elfyand on xubuntu.org10:23
ochosior even add a link on xubuntu.org to use pidgin as alternative to webchat10:23
ochosialthough i'm not sure either way whether that'd improve things for anybody :)10:23
elfy:)10:23
ochosianywho, while "it doesn't hurt" it seems that users aren't using our irc app so much then10:24
elfywell - seems that the do we or don't we is the first discussion we need to have - then the hexchat one10:24
ochosido we / don't we what?10:25
elfyhave either 10:25
elfyif we decide to only have pidgin any discussion on hexchat is pointless10:25
ochosifrankly, i guess i need to take those two apps for a spin to be able to seriously discuss them...10:25
elfy:)10:25
ochosimy input is not very experience-based10:26
ochosiso if you're fine with it, i'd like to carry this forward to the next meeting10:26
elfyyep 10:26
ochosigive ppl more time to test the apps10:26
elfyneeds to go to m/l I guess so people know we want that input10:26
elfywho's going to do that10:26
Unit193Not it.10:27
ochosialways the one who asks? :D10:27
elfy#action ochosi To start pidgin/irc discussion on m/l 10:27
meetingologyACTION: ochosi To start pidgin/irc discussion on m/l10:27
ochosiheh, fine fine10:27
elfythanks ochosi :)10:27
ochosiok, so moving along, i'd like to quickly discuss -core10:28
elfy#subtopic -core10:28
elfygo ahead :)10:28
ochosiwell we discussed -core a while ago, it was approved and the idea was it was going to be tested (which is why i merged it into our seed)10:29
ochosiso status update elfy/Unit193?10:29
elfyI'm waiting for a go really, but we have discussed it off and on over the last couple of weeks10:29
elfythough I will say that the chances of getting much testing done is slim even if we ask 10:30
ochosiUnit193: ^ ?10:30
ochosielfy: yeah, well actually starting with some testing by you would be quite valuable10:30
elfyyep10:31
ochosias you're really experienced with testing, i'd tend to trust your feedback for shipping this initially10:31
ochosiit'll have to prove itself in real-word contexts then anyway10:31
Unit193ochosi, Kind of waiting on the seed changes for things to go, but we can do it now without the very slim version.  Yeah, I don't see a lot of testing happening either.10:31
ochosis/word/world/10:31
ochosiit's not a huge problem though (slim testing), i think we can refine it until the next LTS10:31
Unit193Well, it's not like we're exactly shipping it.10:31
ochosibut without it being in the seed or an easy install option, it'll never get any testing10:32
ochosiso let's really move this along10:32
ochosiUnit193: what's needed exactly for the seed changes?10:32
Unit193ochosi, You can install it now with tasksel.10:33
Unit193ochosi, Remember, there was two ways to install, recommended and not so recommended. ;)10:33
ochosiright, is tasksel enough for you elfy?10:34
elfyprobably10:34
Unit193ochosi, Also, for super slim, that'd need an xubuntu-meta upload.10:34
ochosiright, can you poke e.g. Logan_ or some other sponsor about that?10:34
elfyUnit193: if we liase on this before the next meeting we should have some sort of result 10:35
ochosii've merged it already, so it's approved, i guess it just needs a sponsoring request10:35
Unit193ochosi, After we add inxi and maybe hex?10:35
ochosiright, if hexchat takes longer though, i wouldn't wanna wait for that10:35
Unit193elfy, Sure?  Whatever works.10:35
ochosiit's not like we have to limit ourselves *so much* with uploads10:35
Unit193Well, get the one change in?10:36
Unit193ochosi, Since we have no uploaders that are active?  Kind of do.10:36
ochosiactually we got a lot of things sponsored last cycle10:36
ochosii mean, *lots* of uploads10:36
ochosii don't see us having that kinda throughput ahead this cycle10:36
ochosisimply look at how empty most of our blueprints are10:37
elfyyep10:37
Unit193Alright...10:37
ochosiso let's give it a week for inxi and then move along with inxi+core10:37
ochosii mean for a xubuntu-meta upload10:37
ochosielfy: can you take this down in trello plz?10:38
Unit193xubutrello: card 64 link10:38
xubutrellohttps://trello.com/c/nZWgYTb2/64-xubuntu-core-call10:38
ochosiuuh, the trellobot magician enters the stage :)10:39
elfyadded a card for inxi10:40
ochosity10:40
elfyanything else for -core ?10:41
ochosino, i guess we just need to make sure to move this along10:41
ochosii really want it in 14.1010:41
elfyok - moving on then ?10:41
Unit193It's already in. :P10:41
Unit193Yes, please.10:41
ochosiactually one more thing, "somebody" should add an FAQ entry for it10:41
elfyfor -xore?10:41
ochosiyup10:42
elfyawesome typo lol10:42
ochosi:)10:42
Unit193If it's words, I'm a bad idea.10:42
elfydoc guy then :)10:42
ochosi:)10:42
elfy#action slickymaster Add core information to FAQ10:42
meetingologyACTION: slickymaster Add core information to FAQ10:42
ochosiyeah, let's add another trello card for that (or a comment to the -core trello card)10:42
elfyadded that to existing card - added docs label10:43
ochosity10:44
elfy#topic Team Updates10:44
elfy#info Testing is very quiet, little action happening at all10:44
elfybut again that's not just us :)10:44
Unit193I ran a quick, live only testcase.10:45
ochosi#info ochosi is working towards replacing light-locker-settings with settings in xfce4-power-manager. Might or might not happen for 14.10 though.10:45
elfyyea - I've done a few lives/installs in vm10:45
elfynot sure we'll get more team updates then :)10:46
ochosiso how're things?10:46
ochosii mean in a live session?10:46
elfythe odd syslinux bug is gone atm 10:46
ochosiiirc we still have a few blockers ahead (that also affect debian), like upower0.9910:46
ochosibut i guess upower hasn't been updated yet?10:46
elfy0.9.23-2ubun here10:47
ochosiyup, that's the old one then10:47
ochosii think mostly xfce4-session is blocking upower0.99 atm10:47
ochosisystemd still hasn't happened i presume?10:47
elfyI think that we can safely forget about systemd happening default this cycle at least10:48
ochosiright10:48
ochosiless problems ahead then i gues10:48
ochosis10:48
Unit193Mhmm, still can have fun with it. :P  (Just not too much, gone there myself.)10:49
elfyI run it - only had one issue with it - nvidia-prime update fails each time 10:49
ochosibtw, has anybody looked at xwayland or xmir at all?10:49
elfynot here10:49
ochosi#info bluesabre is preparing to apply for upload-rights to the xubuntu package-set10:50
Unit193\o/10:50
elfy\o/10:50
elfyha 10:50
ochosi:)10:50
elfyanything else?10:51
Unit193Due dates?10:51
elfyare there any?10:52
ochosinot sure, Unit193 ?10:53
elfyI'll be calling next week for the next package test set 10:53
Unit193Hah: June 19th :FeatureDefinitionFreeze10:54
Unit193xubutrello: due soon10:54
xubutrello  ->  1. Suite C call (id: 17) due: 2014-06-30 11:00:00 UTC from list: To Do 14.1010:54
xubutrello  ->  2. add inxi to seed then xubuntu-meta upload  (id: 77) due: 2014-07-03 11:00:00 UTC from list: To Do 14.1010:54
xubutrello  ->  3. Check Suite C testcases (id: 75) due: 2014-06-26 11:00:00 UTC from list: Doing 14.1010:54
ochosiyeah, even if we don't care about that freeze, i guess it's a good point10:54
ochosiwe should really work towards finalizing our blueprints/trello-cards10:55
elfyochosi: are you going to do what knome did re blueprints - eg grab team leads and check?10:55
elfyshould be pretty easy this cycle I guess10:56
ochosiyeah10:56
elfydo I need to action it?10:56
ochosii think i'd want the release team to ack them10:56
elfythat makes sense10:56
ochosi#action Team leads should try to finalize their blueprints for Utopic until the next meeting (in two weeks) so the release-team can ack them.10:56
meetingologyACTION: Team leads should try to finalize their blueprints for Utopic until the next meeting (in two weeks) so the release-team can ack them.10:56
ochosiwe can always grant exceptions if ppl aren't ready until then, but we should really try to get out of the post-LTS depression/lethargy :)10:57
elfy :)10:57
elfyok - so moving along so Unit193 can not sleep ?10:57
ochosiheh10:58
ochosiyeah10:58

Unit193Not sure if you were here when I said it, but actually keeping up with trello now.11:00
elfyI read it I think :)11:01
elfyand I assume the 'hint' comment was you being added to one :p11:01

bluesabreah, darn it, forgot about the meeting11:11
bluesabre:(11:11
elfylogs are up 11:16
bluesabreUnit193: so, I can mark them "verification-done" then?11:18
Unit193Well, the one I'd say so.11:26
bluesabreok11:33
bluesabreochosi, updated my application11:33
bluesabreUnit193: thanks, marked lls and xfpm as verification-done since they are both part of the same fix11:35
bluesabregotta run, bbabl11:36

Unit193xfce4-panel (NEW) 4.11.1-1 uploaded to experimental by Yves-Alexis Perez (corsac)13:20
ochosiUnit193: ah nice, can we sync that to utopic or will that happen automatically anyway?13:23
Unit193ochosi: Jackson did the merge on the 23rd.13:23
Unit193https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/4.11.1-0ubuntu113:23
Unit193...And I already PPA'd it for trusty. ;)13:25
ochosiah cool13:30
ochosiwhere?13:30
Unit193ppa:unit193/xfce13:31
ochosi(you really should ping me or bluesabre about this so we can copy the pkg to the staging PPA and then inform elfy to get at least some testing going)13:31
Unit193Uhh, this isn't a testing thing?  Just personal.13:31
ochosithis is something that could be considered for SRU to trusty13:33
ochosiso it's *not* "just personal"13:34
ochosieither way, i have to run now...13:35
Unit193Oh, well.  Never thought it'd be SRU stuff.13:35
ochosibut let's please keep 4.11 releases that fix bugs on the radar and get them ready for SRUs to trusty13:35
Unit193Noted that your interested in new bug fixes.13:35
Unit193're13:35
ochosii'd personally really love it if we could keep trusty's xfce kinda updated and in the end move 14.04.x to 4.1213:36
ochosibbl13:36
GridCubehow secure is to migrate options from xchat to hexchat? i mean, i have to recreate all my credentials, all my networks and channels settings?13:56
GridCubeor can i just copy paste some files from the .xchat folder?13:56
=== olli_ is now known as olli
elfyGridCube: I copied .xchat to .hexchat and then started it up13:59
GridCubewelp, it doesnt like to use my proxy settings 14:01
GridCubeand thats as far as i can test them :)14:02
GridCubewell :P i tried using only hexchat all the ways i could think and it did not wanted to use my proxy14:14
GridCube_well, well, well, would you look at this, if i use the default irc.ubuntu.com/8001 port to connect from hexchat it does work15:01
GridCube_but the irc.freenode.com/6001 or whatevs do not15:02
Unit1936697 or 6667?15:04
GridCube_sure i guess15:05
=== zequence_ is now known as zequence
GridCubeUnit193, in regard to your question in the specifications, can it be added a new server, irc.ubuntu.com/8001 like xchat has, with the default channels for that server being the recognized flavours? (as http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives)15:53
GridCubethat would be 8 default channels for the server and any user from other flavour will be able to choose the channel they want :)15:53
* Unit193 doesn't know.16:02
knomeUnit193, oh mi god color18:31
Unit193:D18:31
Unit193knome: I gots in trouble for it. :318:31
NoskcajShould we be trying to get xfce added to the MRE list?20:39
* elfy hates acronyms to start with20:42
NoskcajMicro Release Exception. Pretty much all xfce microreleases could be SRUed whenever they come out20:51
elfythanks Noskcaj :)20:52
Noskcajnp20:52
elfy:)20:52
elfyNoskcaj: logs of the meeting went up by the way20:53
Noskcaji'll check the second half of it then20:53
* elfy is glad he gets a long rest from chairing those20:53
ochosiNoskcaj: that sounds like it makes sense21:31
ochosiespecially as xfce is mostly micro-releases these days :p21:31
NoskcajI'll try and get it added then.21:36
ochosithanks Noskcaj!21:38
ochosithat means more or less automerge from debian as soon as 4.11 releases come out?21:38
Noskcajochosi, yep. Pretty much we can SRU any microreleases as long as they still have their basic functions working21:54
ochosisounds good to my ears21:58
Unit193But chances of getting it...21:59
elfywill get better as we have people who can do things for us?22:02
ochosii guess so22:07
ochosiotoh having an uploader also means having half a developer less22:07
NoskcajUnit193, I think we've got an ok chance. Active testing team, and gnome and kde both have MREs already22:08
Unit193Ah, ok.22:09
bluesabreNoskcaj, that would be awesome22:40
elfywould be even awesomer when you're one of the "people who can do things for us?" :)22:42
bluesabreelfy, working on that22:42
elfyI know :)22:42
bluesabre:)22:42
elfyI'd comment - but wouldn't mean much :(22:42
bluesabreyou're the qa lead, surely that accounts for something :D22:43

bluesabreand missed the meeting 22:43
ochosibut yeah, i'll get right to it22:43
bluesabre:D22:43
elfyI could comment I guess22:44
elfycertainly haven't got any reason to NOT do so 22:44
bluesabreNoskcaj, do you know if there is a similar policy for updates that are *only* translations? I would imagine those can sidestep the SRU procedures22:45
Unit193bluesabre: When's your meeting?22:57
bluesabreUnit193: haven't scheduled one yet, was hoping to collect some key comments before poking22:58
knomebluesabre, i'll try to schedule some time for that tomorrow23:00
bluesabreknome, thanks :D23:00
ochosijust so you don't wonder, i'll be moving the day after tomorrow, so until monday or tuesday, i'll only be available very occasionally23:55
ochosiafter that, i should be back on a more stable basis23:56
