[00:15] ochosi: failed builds passed [00:55] knome: Still have the SRU to file for the Xubuntu docs, but I believe bluesabre can actually upload them. [00:58] it'd be worth a shot anyway :) [05:48] Unit193, yyyap. [07:41] bluesabre: thanks for following up on the stuck SRUs btw! [09:12] bluesabre: hey, would you mind copying over the recipe from liviu's PPA for skippy-xd to xubuntu-staging? https://code.launchpad.net/~landronimirc/+recipe/skippy-xd-daily [09:13] then we don't have to copy/update the package by hand when there's something new... [09:20] hey ochosi [09:20] morning bluesabre [09:21] seeing that skippy-xd is not in the archives, shouldn't it go into -extras? [09:21] errr, sorry, i meant -extras [09:21] :) [09:21] it's already there in fact, i copied the pkgs over [09:21] but then i realized we could also just copy the recipe [09:21] yeah [09:21] i also asked liviu for utopic packages and he promptly delivered [09:22] btw, i have a bit of feedback on the greeter-background branch [09:22] i dunno if you've tried it already [09:22] I haven't [09:22] but it seems to me that somehow xorg's setup is interfering [09:22] obviously whatever you set in xfce's display dialog doesn't matter [09:22] here on my work machine, i always get the cloned/mirrored output [09:23] so yeah, i'm wondering whether the greeter shouldn't take a more "active" role, it shouldn't be too hard to set up your displays as a user (if you already fiddle with lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf) [09:24] possibly, but at least the needed code already exists in one of our other projects :) [09:29] yeah [09:29] recipe prepared for skippy-xd into -extras [09:29] i had thought that andrew had already touched that part [09:29] but obviously i was mistaken there [09:29] he said something about "setting the displays up with xrandr" though [09:30] i thought that xfsettingsd touches xrandr too and keeps in sync with it [09:30] but maybe that's another mistaken assumption [09:30] I think xrandr is per-user [09:30] might be wrong [09:30] yeah, i thought so too [09:30] and per X session [09:30] mr_pouit is the randr master :) [09:30] so the greeter should have a separate setup [09:44] thanks for the skippy-recipe, bluesabre [10:04] bluesabre: commented quite a bit on andrew's MR now [10:05] !team | folks, i'm waiting a few minutes until the netsplits are over (hopefully) [10:05] folks, i'm waiting a few minutes until the netsplits are over (hopefully): bluesabre, elfy, GridCube, jjfrv8, knome, lderan, micahg, mr_pouit, Noskcaj, ochosi, pleia2, skellat, slickymaster, Unit193 [10:06] I am here for 25 minutes (at a work sprint right now) [10:06] pleia2: we can also start right now if that's better for you [10:07] well, let's see who's here... [10:08] #startmeeting [10:08] Meeting started Tue Jul 15 10:08:00 2014 UTC. The chair is ochosi. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. [10:08] Available commands: action commands idea info link nick [10:08] who's here for the meeting? [10:08] o/ [10:08] I'm in Germany this week, so this meeting isn't at 3AM :) [10:08] hehe, nice [10:09] * ochosi is already a bit hungry, it's lunchtime in .at too ;) [10:09] hehe [10:09] o/ [10:09] !team | meeting time everyone! :) [10:09] meeting time everyone! :): bluesabre, elfy, GridCube, jjfrv8, knome, lderan, micahg, mr_pouit, Noskcaj, ochosi, pleia2, skellat, slickymaster, Unit193 [10:09] \o/ [10:11] wow, quite the turnout :) [10:11] anyway, i guess let's start since pleia2 isn't around that much longer [10:11] #topic Open action items [10:12] doesn't look like we have much [10:12] slickymasterWork: how is the -core stuff doing? [10:12] haven't been able to start it yet ochosi :P [10:12] lately things at work haven't been easy [10:13] xubuntu-core? [10:13] yup [10:13] slickymasterWork: no worries, there's still time ;) [10:13] we can carry that forward i guess [10:14] I merged the branch for that last night, so that should appear shortly in utopic :) [10:14] #action slickymaster Add core information to FAQ [10:14] ACTION: slickymaster Add core information to FAQ [10:14] I targeting to get that in mid august ochosi [10:14] s/I/I'm [10:14] slickymasterWork: is it on trello? [10:14] if not, please add it there [10:14] not yet [10:14] will do [10:14] ty [10:14] ok, we have two things on our agenda... [10:15] #topic Default irc client [10:15] sooo, we had a bit of discussion on the ML [10:15] i'm not sure that was really entirely conclusive [10:15] yeah, not so much [10:15] from what i gather, most people are in favor of hexchat>xchat [10:16] but whether to just use pidgin instead, that was not very clear as a feedback [10:16] I think at present, we should replace xchat with hexchat [10:16] i'm generally fine with that [10:17] since we never had any conclusive decision, and hexchat is effectively the newer version [10:17] iirc elfy had some concerns wrt hexchat [10:17] some bugs or regressions i think [10:17] I see [10:17] generally i'm fine with proceeding that way [10:18] me too, can we action elfy to let us know what the issues are? [10:18] i don't remember how grave the problems were, and it seems neither Unit193 nor elfy are around [10:18] sounds like a good idea [10:18] sounds good to me. Then we can work to resolve those items prior to next meeting [10:18] (since he didn't say anything on the ML) [10:19] #action elfy Inform the team on the mailinglist about potential bugs/regressions of hexchat over xchat [10:19] ACTION: elfy Inform the team on the mailinglist about potential bugs/regressions of hexchat over xchat [10:19] generally speaking, i'd be fine with trying to just go with pidgin for a cycle in case hexchat has regressions [10:19] so either way, i'd do away with xchat for at least 14.10 [10:20] thoughts/comments? [10:20] sounds good [10:20] I agree [10:21] okeydokey, then let's discuss this again next time with elfy's intel [10:21] #topic Gksu/do [10:21] now, this is a topic i don't know much about [10:21] so i'm hoping one of you has done the homework :p [10:22] (i read what was posted on the ml, but nothing beyond that) [10:22] xubutrello: card 81 link [10:22] https://trello.com/c/wn31wIF5/81-add-core-information-to-faq [10:22] ochosi: ^^ [10:22] thanks slickymasterWork [10:22] cool, so there are a few things going on here [10:23] 1. Ubuntu moved away from using gksu(do) in favor of pkexec. Most of their applications now ship pkexec policies, so this was an acceptable item for them. [10:23] 2. We followed suit. However, most of our applications do not have pkexec policies, so we're a bit behind on that. [10:24] so 3. the question is, do we want to return gksu(do), or create an effort to make pkexec policies for our common applications? [10:24] we sort of had a similar discussion on this last cycle regarding the occurrences of gksu in the documentation [10:24] hm, i see [10:24] gksu has been the norm for a long time, and you could say that users expect it [10:25] and it was decided to drop gksu favoring the use of sudo .i [10:25] *sudo -i [10:25] so does anybody have an idea how many apps are affected? [10:25] (just to get an idea of how much work it'd be) [10:25] I think it depends entirely on what we want users to be running as superuser [10:25] firefox: probably a bad idea [10:25] ochosi: you're just referring to shipped app's, right? [10:26] firefox is definitely one [10:26] slickymasterWork: yes, those we ship [10:26] mousepad and terminal could both be beneficial [10:26] but yeah, it makes one wonder about whether we're causing users issues on other apps... [10:26] thunar? [10:26] yes [10:27] I think that terminal would be another [10:27] how much work is it to add a pkexec profile? [10:27] one sec [10:28] pleia2: btw, if you have to run but have team updates, i'll give you the floor anytime... [10:28] ochosi: yeah, I should do that soon :) [10:28] sample file: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/trunk/view/head:/com.ubuntu.pkexec.lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings.policy.in [10:28] seems not so bad [10:28] yeah, but that all has to go upstream ideally, right? [10:29] I assume at least to the packages in debian first [10:29] * ochosi just hopes this isn't another thing ppl will get flamey about like systemd... [10:29] ideally, or we can ship it in xubuntu-default-settings... but yeah, implementation would be another question [10:29] we already have pkexec, just no supported apps :) [10:29] heh [10:30] any downsides to additionally bringing back gksu? [10:30] I see none, but there may be some arguments... we should discuss with #ubuntu-devel folks maybe? [10:30] http://pastebin.com/G2nGpEdt <- for xfce4-terminal [10:31] hmm, either way... i think we can't come to a conclusive decision today. i'd prefer it if we could compile a list of apps to get an idea of the workload... [10:31] bluesabre: good idae [10:31] idea [10:31] right, that would be the best course of action :) [10:31] #action ochosi to talk with folks in #ubuntu-devel about the upsides/downsides of gksu and pkexec and then inform the team [10:31] ACTION: ochosi to talk with folks in #ubuntu-devel about the upsides/downsides of gksu and pkexec and then inform the team [10:31] thanks ochosi [10:32] let's also do this though: [10:32] somebody should send an email to the ML about collecting apps in question for pkexec [10:32] ideally on a wikipage or something [10:32] so users can also contribute [10:32] we might not think of everything [10:32] any volunteers for that task? :p [10:33] suppose I can take that action item [10:33] * ochosi wants to move on to the team updates... [10:33] thanks bluesabre :) [10:33] thanks bluesabre [10:34] #action bluesabre to set up a page on the ubuntu-wiki collecting apps that potentially need a pkexec profile and send an email to the list to get users to contribute to the list [10:34] ACTION: bluesabre to set up a page on the ubuntu-wiki collecting apps that potentially need a pkexec profile and send an email to the list to get users to contribute to the list [10:34] #topic Team updates [10:34] #info The Marketing blueprint has been updated with plans for this cycle https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/xubuntu-u-marketing [10:34] great [10:34] if anyone else has ideas, feel free to let me know, but we're not being so ambitious this cycle :) [10:34] :) [10:35] indeed :) [10:35] it's ok to take a slower one ;) [10:35] * pleia2 nods [10:35] pleia2: so you've discussed the financials with knome for flyers and tees? [10:35] ochosi: mostly [10:35] cool [10:35] we'll work out details as we move forward with actual ordering [10:36] #info bug #1299743 is now Fix Committed status [10:36] bug 1299743 in xubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) "No options: "Show printers shared by other systems"" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1299743 [10:36] lunch now [10:36] bon appetit, pleia2 [10:36] enjoy pleia2 [10:36] seeya pleia2 [10:36] #info bluesabre now has upload rights for the xubuntu packageset [10:36] congrats on that bluesabre [10:36] \o/ [10:37] #action bluesabre to review applications shipped by xubuntu to make sure they are in the xubuntu packageset (menulibre is not currently included) [10:37] ACTION: bluesabre to review applications shipped by xubuntu to make sure they are in the xubuntu packageset (menulibre is not currently included) [10:38] how're things looking for 14.04.1? [10:38] well, xfpm and lls are both in -updates now [10:38] good [10:38] but I missed the fact that xubuntu-default-settings needed to be updated as well [10:38] so working on the SRU documentation for that [10:39] if you're ok with it, we could take a shared action item for blogging about that bug, so that ppl know what is fixed and what isn't and how to make sure the fix works [10:39] menulibre and lightdm-gtk-greeter are stuck in limbo on their way to trusty-proposed, once that happens we can proceed with verification [10:39] ochosi: I'd be in favor of that [10:39] i can draft it, but as all of this is a bit complex, review would be very necessary [10:39] right [10:40] #action ochosi and bluesabre to work on blog posting for xubuntu.org about the resolved black screen bug (for 14.04.1) [10:40] ACTION: ochosi and bluesabre to work on blog posting for xubuntu.org about the resolved black screen bug (for 14.04.1) [10:40] also, need to know if there is a freeze for 14.04.1 [10:40] we're 9 days away (24th) [10:40] humm, that's not too much time [10:40] nope [10:41] let's hope there is none then ;) [10:41] i guess that's not enough time for a separate action item anyway [10:41] and the SRU process dictates that packages have to sit in proposed for 7 day [10:41] s [10:41] oh dear, that means 2 days or less for menulibre and greeter? [10:41] (not even talking about the xdg-utils patch...) [10:42] yeah, gotta get these things moving if we want to fixes in the iso [10:42] yeah, would be good, especially as all the 12.04->14.04 upgrades are visible for the first time with 14.04.1 [10:43] who of you has done a 12.04->14.04 upgrade? [10:43] o/ [10:43] would be nice to write up some of the things needed to do after that upgrade [10:43] o/ [10:43] something like "fixing indicators" etc [10:43] but mostly those were tests [10:43] just a quick list that we can publish on the blog [10:43] sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver [10:43] heh, yeah, stuff like that ^ [10:44] slickymasterWork: would you mind starting with a draft? [10:44] then maybe also ask elfy to help on it [10:44] ok [10:44] and then we can ask ppl on the team or whoever has done that upgrade to check whether something's missing [10:44] cool, thanks slickymasterWork [10:45] #action slickymaster to write up a draft for "things to do after a 12.04->14.04 upgrade" [10:45] ACTION: slickymaster to write up a draft for "things to do after a 12.04->14.04 upgrade" [10:45] I'll ping elfy on it, because I mostly just made the upgrading tests and afterwards deleted those boxes [10:45] sure [10:45] okay, any other updates? [10:45] also, might do a mention that ppas are disabled on upgrade [10:45] indeed [10:45] * slickymasterWork agrees [10:46] * ochosi hopes slickymasterWork is already taking notes [10:46] :> [10:46] * slickymasterWork will use the logs [10:46] xubuntu-dev ppas are growing steadily [10:46] clever slickymasterWork [10:46] bluesabre: yeah, wanna info a bit of that? [10:46] there's something I want to get by you guys [10:47] #info xubuntu-dev PPAs are growing with an increased number of packages for trusty and utopic - https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xubuntu-staging - https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/extras [10:47] regarding the work that you both made on the Xfce Display Settings [10:47] go for it :) [10:47] do you want it to be included in the -docs? [10:48] Is there already a section for the display settings? [10:48] would be nice, but otoh it's simply more intuitive than the old dialog [10:49] not specifically bluesabre [10:49] but it would probably fall in the Settings and Preferences chapter [10:49] ok, then as ochosi indicated, its probably not a necessity, we made it a lot more user friendly... but if you want to include it, I'm open to any questions you may have [10:50] now it basically works like display dialogs in most other OSs [10:50] I'll dig a bit deeper on that to see if it's adequate [10:50] sounds good, thanks slickymasterWork [10:50] ^ [10:50] if not, then we'll just drop the idea [10:50] okie dokie [10:51] anything else from your sides? [10:51] not from me [10:51] #topic Discussion [10:51] any discussion left? :) [10:51] did Noskcaj mention that xfce packages are now accepted under the MRE (micro release exceptions)? [10:51] he did [10:51] the inxi issue is done with, right? [10:51] bluesabre: that would be an announcement i guess [10:52] slickymasterWork: inxi will be included in the seed the next time the seed files are generated [10:52] I mean we're going to ship it [10:52] #topic Announcements [10:52] slickymasterWork: yup [10:52] you beat me [10:52] oh, slow down ochosi [10:52] :) [10:52] question: clutter in xubuntu [10:52] #undo [10:52] Removing item from minutes: TOPIC [10:52] *for parole [10:52] he starvating bluesabre ;) [10:52] hehe [10:53] bluesabre: do we know what clutter pulls in? [10:53] package-wise [10:53] probably a mess [10:53] i forgot what is all needed, was it just libclutter-gst-1.0-0 ? [10:54] I can verify that, but going forward, the x components will work decreasingly well over the next few releases as X support is pulled from gtk [10:54] or gstreamer1.0-clutter? [10:55] I'll check on that later, not sure what recommends get pulled [10:55] #action bluesabre to investigate what packages would be pulled in for being able to use Parole's clutter backend [10:55] ACTION: bluesabre to investigate what packages would be pulled in for being able to use Parole's clutter backend [10:55] that'll do [10:55] :) [10:55] cool [10:56] * bluesabre leaves in 5 minutes [10:56] ok, let's wrap it up then? [10:56] #topic Announcements [10:56] I've got none [10:57] maybe next meeting schedule? [10:57] #info Xfce packages are now accepted under the MRE (micro release exceptions). Thanks Jackson! [10:57] #topic Schedule next meeting [10:57] #action bluesabre is to set up the next meeting [10:57] ACTION: bluesabre is to set up the next meeting [10:57] :) [10:57] he he [10:57] oh boy [10:58] that'll be fun [10:58] okeydokey [10:58] thanks everyone! [10:58] #endmeeting [10:58] Meeting ended Tue Jul 15 10:58:11 2014 UTC. [10:58] Minutes: http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2014/xubuntu-devel.2014-07-15-10.08.moin.txt [10:58] thanks! [10:58] thanks ochosi [10:58] bbl [10:59] i'll leave irc client and gksu on the agenda for next time [11:04] gotta run, ochosi, this seem good to you: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1342065 ? [11:04] Ubuntu bug 1342065 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "[SRU] xubuntu-default-settings 14.04.5" [Undecided,New] [11:05] bluesabre: yup, just read through it, looks good! [11:06] meeting minutes are up [11:07] finally time for lunch... [11:07] bbl [11:08] enjoy ochosi [11:29] slickymasterWork: re: 12.04 > 14.04; swap out whiskermenu if you want it [11:29] otherwise you still just have the old application menu [11:30] thanks pleia2 [12:18] bluesabre: re pkexec - I've got a mousepad, thunar and xfce4-terminal [12:21] ochosi: re hexchat - I can mail the list re that, but if (as it appears) we're just going to swap one app with no devs with another that has a dev - but they're not appearing too worried about the bugs I have found - is that really a good idea? [12:35] elfy: sounds like something you should put in that email you'll send to the ml ;) [13:20] ochosi: pkexec seems to work with any application about like gksudo even if there is no profile. The defaults seem resonable. The downside of pkexec is that it is frowned on to run the whole process as root the way synaptic is. [13:21] ochosi: So try running pkexec anyapp to see first if you need a profile for that app. [13:22] 15:05 mdeslaur$ ochosi: gksu was a bad hack, it would screen scrape su, so it would break horribly when a pam module asked for something else than a password [13:23] OvenWerks: e.g. thunar doesn't work [13:24] Ya, I am seeing that the default has changed since I last tried [13:24] Anything with a gui would need a profile. [13:25] The profile to look at is synaptic as it roots the whole app, most don't [13:25] yup, looks like it [14:52] elfy: kubuntu are currently investigating alternatives to trello [14:52] mostly because of the risk that trello might one day become a service we have to pay for [15:42] OvenWerks: every application I've tried to run with pkexec that I might want to do so with has required a new profile [15:46] i have drafted an email to the list already about this issue btw [15:47] i'll send it later tonight or tomorrow [17:11] ochosi: re trello - so what are kubuntu looking at - do you know? [17:11] it's called kanboard [17:12] i'm not sure we wanna go there just yet though [17:12] yea [17:12] that would mean setting up hosting for it somewhere, customizing it etc [17:12] orite [17:12] if someone from the community picks it up, fine [17:12] definitely not then [17:12] but i don't see anyone in the team currently having the time/energy [17:13] I'd agree with that [17:13] also, if kubuntu push this, we might follow them (if it means no extra work) [17:13] :) [17:13] so yeah, after looking at it i felt we better stick with trello for the time being [17:14] +1 on that [18:09] bluesabre: re pkexec "we should discuss with #ubuntu-devel folks maybe?" I'd wonder why tbh, why not just be the same as other flavours - we are the only one that went ahead and threw gksu away it seems - (I'm assuming that studio followed suit there) [20:21] So, gksu is a problem for pam, not so much for users doing `gksudo scite /etc/default/grub` [20:22] hey, hello [20:23] hey, sometimes tumblerd use over 100% of my cpu, without reason. Is it a know bug? [20:23] 14.04 [20:37] bah, so thunar-volman - currently test calls for gthumb and a command gthumb -i - now we don't seed gthumb do we actually use anything that will by default import a photo? [20:38] http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1589/info for reference - at the bottom Digital Cameras, or can we lose the whole section? [20:38] ristretto is the only thing that comes to mind. [20:39] yea - not seeing any relevant command to replace the gthumb -i with though [20:45] well, given that we don't use gthumb and ristretto doesn't import as such I'm just going to blitz the camera tab part of the tab [20:46] testcase [20:47] Sounds alright to me. [20:49] bluesabre, There's a few xfce uploads waiting for you too upload. Could you take a look? [21:16] Unit193: all done and synced with the package tracker now - so if we decide to change that we'll need a new bug :) [22:19] bluesabre: sent that email wrt pkexec to the ml and created the wikipage (lucky you ;)) [22:19] night everyone [23:47] Noskcaj: will get to them tonight or tomorrow morning [23:48] killer headache :(
