elfyknome: updated the torrent links06:17
elfyochosi: ^^06:18
ochosithanks a bunch elfy!09:30
knomeelfy, cheers10:25
brainwashis this a regression caused by the recent xfpm sru update? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223618412:07
bluesabreshouldn't be.  The update doesn't change the functionality of xfpm, and keeps the default setting of letting logind do its own thing12:10
bluesabreif the system is suspending on lid close, it's logind12:11
bluesabreright ochosi ^ ?12:11
ochosilemme check, currently distracted12:13
brainwashjust noticed this forum thread, made me wonder12:13
ochosijust read through that now12:23
brainwashthe thread starter mentions that this was caused by a very recent update12:24
elfyalso mentions systemd - if they're running with systemd - do they get the same issue if running upstart 12:25
brainwashbut it's xubuntu 14.0412:25
elfybut we use upstart not systemd - no-one uses systemd at present - other than those testing it12:26
brainwashthey call it systemd, but it's only logind12:27
elfyaah ok - not read it properly12:27
brainwashso we got this one report here, maybe it's indeed a regression, maybe not12:28
brainwashat least the black screen madness is fixed now :)12:28
ochosii can't look at the exact changeset for xfpm now as i'm focussing on other things atm, but this shouldn't be a regression12:32
ochosiall it should do is let logind handle the suspending in case it's also set to lock the session12:33
ochosibut if you set it to not suspend, it should still follow that setting12:34
brainwashok then12:36
ochosiso xfpm should take precedence in all cases but one, which is if it is set to suspend+lock, then it'll let logind do its thing12:39
brainwashoh.. bug 134727212:40
ubottubug 1347272 in dbus (Ubuntu) "DBus communication problems affecting multiple packages" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/134727212:40
brainwashsome sort of meta bug report12:40
brainwashmarked as critical...12:42
brainwashwhere is ali1234? =S12:43
bluesabreyay, a bug report that reports existing bugs12:43
elfybluesabre: just double checking that mugshot has changed to only use a camera or browse now?12:50
elfytestcase is still referring to slect from stock12:51
bluesabreelfy, select from stock is only visible when the stock photos directory is present (there is a gnome package that installs these items)13:04
elfyok - so in general for US it is not? 13:05
bluesabreyes, unless we want to add some faces at some point :)13:05
bluesabre/usr/share/pixmaps/faces/13:05
elfyok - we can change the test when/if that happens13:06
bluesabrecool13:06
elfyin the meantime - elfy reports testcase bug and fixes it :p13:06
bluesabre:D13:06
elfysigh - seems that mimetypes or something are all mucked up somehow - text file default is abiword13:15
brainwashright, we were thinking about this, gdm installs some stock photos for gnome13:15
elfypurging abiword to deal with that13:16
brainwashelfy: clean user account?13:16
elfybrainwash: we might be thinking about it - but at present the option doesn't appear in mugshot13:17
elfythis is more or less a clean account13:17
elfysigh now it wants to use lo writer13:17
brainwashwhat a mess :)13:17
elfyyep 13:18
elfyinstalling windows to deal with it 13:18
knomei've always felt like mime type associations never were the strong selling point of *any* OS...13:18
elfymmm - so properties on the file is pointing to mousepad13:19

elfythanks knome :)19:11
knomenp19:11
knomehmm19:16
knomei was thinking19:16
bluesabrecareful19:16
knomewe sometimes have some people join from the webchat asking the simplest question(s)19:16
knomewhat can we do to offer them the information on the website so they don't have to join IRC?19:17
knomeor can we do anything about that?19:17
bluesabrehttp://xubuntu.org/news/category/faq/19:17
bluesabreWe don't update that very often, but maybe we can add something to that with general questions/answers19:18
elfyhow simple a question is it 19:18
knomeyeah, but a link to another page is a bit meg19:18
knome*meh19:18
SkippersBossEvening, sorry to interrupt.  People will aways ask before looking into docs and manuals19:18
bluesabre:)19:19
bluesabreindeed19:19
elfyyep 19:19
bluesabreor before typing on google19:19
knomeelfy, i don't have anything specific in mind.. but i was thinking something what's in the FAQ or docs19:19
SkippersBossprecisely. 19:19
elfywell 19:19
elfygiven that I've spent 7 years seeing that on the forum - you can lead a horse to water19:19
elfyI would prefer that *our* faq is specific things 19:20
knomewell i can't... ;)19:20
SkippersBossso update the bot may be an answer to lead them to the right documentation19:20
knomenew users do not know anything about the bot19:25
elfythey don't need to if I understand what SkippersBoss means19:25
elfy! somefactoid to point them at a resource19:25
ubottuelfy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)19:25
elfyoh do behave19:26
SkippersBossPrecisely19:26
SkippersBossbut lazyness also does play a part19:26
elfyyep19:26
SkippersBossInternet can be a scary place if you want to look for a solution to - what we perceive to be an easy - problem 19:28
knomemaybe i don't understand either of you, or either of you don't understand me19:33
knomewhat if a new user comes to the channel, asks a question but nobody is available to control the bot?19:33
knome(or reply more naturally...)19:33
elfythere is that19:33
elfybut still - you could have a page anywhere you want - doesn't follow that they'll see it, read it, take any notice19:34
elfyand still ask the question 19:34
SkippersBossWhat we are trying to say is that there will always be people who are going to as first before cheicking out the docs19:34
SkippersBossexactemundo19:35
SkippersBossYou cannot cater for every event19:35
SkippersBossand you want to be careful that the docs are not covering every possible question and become cumbersome to manage/read 19:36
SkippersBossBesides you are aware that in http://xubuntu.org/help/ you admit yourself that IRC  "is often the fastest way to get help. "19:44
SkippersBoss<ducking> :-)19:44
Unit193I just read "bestest" there. :D19:44
bluesabremaybe we could add more details to the channel welcome message?19:44
Unit193Meh, people don't read that or the topic.19:44
SkippersBossU see my point. You have indicated there is documentation and IRC support . You also have indicated that there might not be some around to help them immediately19:48
SkippersBossSpeaking of the FAQ, I have the last listing as per May 2013 ? Is this right ?19:52
bluesabrethe screen locking page could also be linked there when updated19:54
elfyand inxi19:55
