| bluesabre | Unit193: thoughts? | 00:42 |
| bluesabre | https://i.imgur.com/QIwZ84y.png Left: xfwm4 compositor, Right: compton | 00:51 |
| Unit193 | Er, I was supposed to respond. Uhhh, sure? | 01:12 |
| bluesabre | I thought you used compton, so thought I bounced it off you :) | 01:13 |
| Unit193 | Heh, nooope. I tried it a bit before trusty was released. | 01:13 |
| bluesabre | ah | 01:13 |
| bluesabre | :D | 01:13 |
| Unit193 | Installing. | 01:14 |
| Unit193 | (That's why it was hard to find some config for it, purged and deleted.) | 01:15 |
| bluesabre | got it | 01:15 |
| Unit193 | We'll see if this also fixes the xfwm4 glitches. | 01:15 |
| Unit193 | Wow, lag in Skype. | 01:16 |
| Unit193 | Hrm, it's actually when you minimize all windows, and pull one up again. Something to do with the desktop. | 01:17 |
| * bluesabre cannot test performance-related things, everything works well | 01:17 | |
| Unit193 | https://github.com/chjj/compton/blob/master/src/compton.c#L5175 handy. | 01:20 |
| bluesabre | oh good, I hate cluttering $HOME | 01:22 |
| Unit193 | I dislike cluttering home and /etc/skel/ ;) | 01:23 |
| Unit193 | Reminds me, ToZ had a good point on .Xdefaults and xscreensaver.Dialog.borderWidth | 01:42 |
| ToZ | I did? | 01:44 |
| bluesabre | this sounds familiar | 01:44 |
| bluesabre | have the link? | 01:44 |
| Unit193 | 02/#xubuntu-devel.2014-02-19.log.gz:20:53:12 < ToZ> should I create a bug report to suggest a cosmetic change to the xscreensaver unlock dialog (change is actually to /etc/skel/.Xdefaults from xubuntu-default-settings) to remove the white border? | 01:49 |
| Unit193 | 02/#xubuntu-devel.2014-02-19.log.gz:20:57:37 < ToZ> set "xscreensaver.Dialog.borderWidth: 0" - gets rid of the thick white border | 01:49 |
| ToZ | ...and there it is. | 01:50 |
| bluesabre | :) | 01:58 |
| Unit193 | ToZ: I've use it, it is nicer. | 01:58 |
| Unit193 | s/I've/I/ | 01:58 |
| bluesabre | just tested, muuuuuch nicer | 02:07 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre done be on a roll. | 02:23 |
| bluesabre | :) | 02:24 |
| Unit193 | But, shouldn't you consult your visual aid? ;) | 02:24 |
| bluesabre | so I noticed that the Settings Menu appears above the other menus in whisker (hierarchy and all that) | 02:24 |
| bluesabre | so, wondering if I should add the Settings Manager launcher back and have the Settings menu in alphabetical order with the others | 02:25 |
| bluesabre | thoughts? Seems least invasive that way | 02:26 |
| bluesabre | and only a tiny bit repetitive for classic menu users | 02:26 |
| Unit193 | Putting Settings Manager then a seperator makes sense for the classic menu users though. | 02:30 |
| bluesabre | ok, think I've decided on a good setup | 02:32 |
| bluesabre | :) | 02:33 |
| Unit193 | Explain? | 02:33 |
| bluesabre | https://i.imgur.com/VAbLGmt.png | 02:35 |
| bluesabre | works well with both menus this way | 02:36 |
| Unit193 | Will have to get used to it, but makes logical sense. | 02:37 |
| bluesabre | somebody will complain, but ui freeze isn't until september ;) | 02:38 |
| Unit193 | It'd be great to get more feedback from people, but I'm +1 for this. | 02:40 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: May be more than needed, but what do you think about before/after of whisker+classic and propose at the next meeting? | 02:40 |
| bluesabre | Well, next meeting is in a few hours, so fine by me :) | 02:41 |
| bluesabre | whisker: https://imgur.com/52N8SmP | 02:43 |
| bluesabre | added to agenda | 02:52 |
| bluesabre | time to go pick up wife/wait in car for an hour | 02:58 |
| bluesabre | be back tomorrow | 02:58 |
| Unit193 | Hahaha. :D Have fun. | 03:02 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: While we're at it, could list other changes made at the meeting, but I won't be there. :P | 03:20 |
| elfy | bluesabre: some [info] for meeting | 07:07 |
| elfy | image testing is moribund | 07:07 |
| elfy | so is package testing | 07:07 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre, ochosi: Debian #756359 (Not for seeding, but nevertheless). | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 756359 in wnpp "RFP: compton-conf -- Qt configuration tool for X composite manager" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/756359 | 08:22 |
| ochosi | hey folks, would you mind if we postpone the meeting 30mins? gotta take someone to the trainstation... | 09:43 |
| bluesabre | ok, fine by me | 09:43 |
| bluesabre | btw, we already have clutter in xubuntu, abiword pulls it | 09:44 |
| ochosi | woot? | 09:44 |
| ochosi | that's absurd... | 09:44 |
| bluesabre | :D | 09:44 |
| ochosi | well "lucky" us i guess, we can use the parole clutter backend "for free" :p | 09:45 |
| ochosi | but still, this seems just like another reason to get rid of abiword | 09:45 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: yeah, only requires the installation of gstreamer1.0-clutter, 111 kb | 09:45 |
| ochosi | (or can it be built without clutter?) | 09:46 |
| bluesabre | woops | 09:46 |
| ochosi | :) | 09:46 |
| ochosi | pinging Unit193 is always a good idea | 09:46 |
| bluesabre | didn't mean to write that to Unit193, was going to send something else | 09:46 |
| bluesabre | :D | 09:46 |
| bluesabre | but forgot | 09:46 |
| ochosi | :} | 09:46 |
| * skellat is ready for meeting | 09:59 | |
| doubleplusgood | Wow right on the number | 10:00 |
| bluesabre | nice skellat | 10:00 |
| bluesabre | I think we might wait a few minutes for ochosi if that's ok? | 10:01 |
| skellat | Okay | 10:01 |
| skellat | It'll be probably my first meeting in 2014 to attend | 10:01 |
| bluesabre | congrats :) | 10:05 |
| sh4tr | have you experienced scroll lag+high cpu/xorg ? | 10:09 |
| bluesabre | I haven't noticed anything of the sort recently | 10:10 |
| doubleplusgood | Somewhat, but I think that was compton. | 10:10 |
| brainwash | xubuntu 14.10? | 10:11 |
| brainwash | bluesabre: so we can close bug 1349056 now? | 10:12 |

| brainwash | according to the last comment | 10:12 |
| brainwash | or is some fixing needed? | 10:13 |
| doubleplusgood | I think so | 10:14 |
| bluesabre | That might need some fixing actually | 10:14 |
| bluesabre | ochosi, eric_the_idiot ^ | 10:15 |
| doubleplusgood | Although, I just tried it on my laptop and it gave me a black screen... | 10:15 |

| bluesabre | So, who's here? | 10:30 |
| skellat | o/ | 10:30 |
| doubleplusgood | Here | 10:30 |
| * knome is lurking a bit | 10:31 | |
| * bluesabre hasn't guided one of these meetings in a while | 10:32 | |
| knome | good luck ;) | 10:32 |
| knome | you basically need #topic, #subtopic, #action and #info | 10:32 |
| bluesabre | yup | 10:32 |
| bluesabre | ochosi should be back shortly | 10:33 |
| bluesabre | #topic Open action items | 10:33 |
| bluesabre | #info xubuntu packageset has been updated with the packages we ship, so uploads should be simpler now | 10:35 |
| bluesabre | #info gstreamer1.0-clutter is the only additional package if we ship parole with a clutter backend | 10:36 |
| skellat | #info The "split theme package" bug may subside after the recent QA upload for shimmer-themes but catching duplicates has to be done manually. | 10:36 |
| knome | any news/progress on getting the list of packageset packages to the wiki? | 10:36 |
| bluesabre | I think ochosi followed up on that one | 10:36 |
| bluesabre | oh wait, we did not make progress on that | 10:38 |
| knome | :) | 10:38 |
| bluesabre | but I think ochosi did "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 " | 10:39 |
| skellat | Which relates to the gksu issue | 10:39 |
| bluesabre | #action bluesabre to put list of xubuntu packageset packages on wiki | 10:39 |
| meetingology | ACTION: bluesabre to put list of xubuntu packageset packages on wiki | 10:39 |
| bluesabre | #nick slickymaster | 10:41 |
| bluesabre | #info slickymaster wrote a draft for "things to do after a 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade" | 10:42 |
| bluesabre | I guess we can move on to updates now | 10:45 |
| bluesabre | #topic Team updates | 10:46 |
| ochosi | sorry for being late | 10:47 |
| * ochosi took JPohlmann to the train | 10:47 | |
| bluesabre | #info new packages in utopic: xfce4-power-manager, xfwm4 | 10:47 |
| bluesabre | hey ochosi | 10:47 |
| bluesabre | wb | 10:47 |
| ochosi | ty, and hey everyone | 10:47 |
| skellat | #info From overwatch on bugs, there has been a small effort to try to treat design decisions as bugs and patch them away | 10:48 |
| skellat | #info Such bugs that have attempted to re-open design decision have been flagged as opinion for now | 10:48 |
| skellat | At least when I catch them | 10:49 |
| bluesabre | Thanks for that :) | 10:49 |
| ochosi | #info xfwm4 tabwin needs small theme updates/tweaks, ochosi has local patches for that already | 10:49 |
| ochosi | (things look okayish by default though) | 10:50 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 10:50 |
| ochosi | question re: clutter | 10:51 |
| ochosi | what other packages would be pulled in if we decided to get rid of abiword at some point? | 10:51 |
| skellat | What would we ditch abiword in favor of? | 10:51 |
| ochosi | i mean: what packages would be pulled in/needed by parole other than gstreamer1.0-clutter | 10:51 |
| ochosi | skellat: i guess nothing | 10:51 |
| ochosi | skellat: but anyway, let's not go there *now*, i just wanna know in case ;) | 10:52 |
| skellat | Okay | 10:52 |
| knome | let's talk about the abiword replacing later | 10:52 |
| knome | (i mean, in this meeting..) | 10:52 |
| ochosi | sure, why not | 10:53 |
| * skellat would run rdepends if he wasn't sitting at a Debian Jessie ARM box at the moment | 10:53 | |
| bluesabre | yeah, we'll have plenty for Discussion today :) | 10:53 |
| ochosi | bluesabre: hm, so would you happen to know or shall we investigate that later? (or are you investigating now? :D) | 10:53 |
| bluesabre | ochosi: looks like this, gstreamer1.0-clutter libclutter-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-common libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 | 10:54 |
| bluesabre | possibly more | 10:54 |
| ochosi | right | 10:54 |
| bluesabre | but I can send the current file listing in utopic to see what is *currently* installed | 10:54 |
| bluesabre | we can review that later | 10:55 |
| ochosi | well i guess as long as we keep abiword it's a no-brainer to add the clutter backend | 10:55 |
| bluesabre | do we want to move to Announcements? | 10:55 |
| * bluesabre always feels like team updates and announcements are the same | 10:55 | |
| ochosi | yeah, i kinda agree | 10:56 |
| bluesabre | #topic Announcements | 10:56 |
| bluesabre | #info Xubuntu 14.04.1 released last week, good job everyone! | 10:56 |
| ochosi | +1 | 10:57 |
| bluesabre | ochosi: are we participating in alpha2, or only betas this cycle? | 10:57 |
| ochosi | iirc only betas | 10:57 |
| bluesabre | ok, thought so when I checked our calendar | 10:58 |
| bluesabre | anybody else have any announcements? | 10:58 |
| ochosi | #info Xfce has made some progress towards new development releases that we will most likely want to pick for 14.10 | 10:58 |
| ochosi | btw, how does that micro-release exception work exactly wrt that ^ ? | 10:59 |
| bluesabre | We've been picking them as they are released :) | 10:59 |
| bluesabre | with the MRE, not entirely sure | 10:59 |
| bluesabre | since big changes happen with dev releases | 10:59 |
| ochosi | well i'm thinking 14.04 | 10:59 |
| bluesabre | and we are running on top of 4.11 in 14.04 | 10:59 |
| bluesabre | I assume the usual rules apply | 11:00 |
| ochosi | yeah, that is true for a few of those releases... | 11:00 |
| bluesabre | with regard to interface freeze, etc | 11:00 |
| ochosi | right, i guess i have to look up what MRE is about exactly at some point | 11:00 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 11:00 |
| bluesabre | discussion time? | 11:00 |
| ochosi | +1 | 11:01 |
| bluesabre | #topic Discussion | 11:01 |
| bluesabre | #subtopic Default IRC client | 11:01 |
| bluesabre | I'm still not sure we have a clear direction with this yet | 11:01 |
| ochosi | me neither | 11:02 |
| bluesabre | However, I did find yesterday that Mint switched from xchat to hexchat | 11:02 |
| knome | i don't think we ever will, we just need to make a decision | 11:02 |
| knome | what would you guys think of the following: | 11:02 |
| skellat | Mint does not equal *buntu | 11:02 |
| ochosi | yeah, probably a vote | 11:02 |
| knome | drop xchat for 14.10 | 11:02 |
| ochosi | skellat: sure, but it means maintenance/attention usually | 11:02 |
| knome | see what the feedback is like | 11:03 |
| ochosi | yeah, somehow i'm all for experimenting a bit in the upcoming cycle | 11:03 |
| knome | if the feedback is people want an IRC client, consider including xchat/hexchat for 15.04 | 11:03 |
| ochosi | and point ppl to pidgin meanwhile | 11:03 |
| knome | yep | 11:03 |
| bluesabre | that sounds good to me | 11:03 |
| skellat | +1 | 11:04 |
| ochosi | yup, same here | 11:04 |
| knome | as i've said in the ML, pidgin is a fairly good IRC client for people who IRC only occasionally | 11:04 |
| ochosi | yeah, and it's a consequent move after getting rid of gthumb | 11:04 |
| knome | yep | 11:04 |
| knome | streamline | 11:04 |
| ochosi | yup | 11:04 |

| meetingology | Motion carried | 11:05 |
| knome | bluesabre, was that a team or public vote? | 11:05 |
| bluesabre | knome: good question, should have specified | 11:06 |
| bluesabre | each of the team members present voted in favor of | 11:06 |
| knome | not that it seems to matter much, both XPL and XTL agreed | 11:06 |
| knome | but with the current team size, we don't have a quorum ;) | 11:07 |
| bluesabre | We should go ahead and extend this to the ML | 11:07 |
| skellat | Back out the vote and throw it to CIVS? | 11:07 |
| ochosi | bluesabre: we can extend it to the ml, but please add a timeout (1 week should do) | 11:07 |
| knome | skellat, why would we want to use complex voting methods if we can do a simple vote on the mailing list? | 11:07 |
| bluesabre | ochosi: want to send that mail? | 11:08 |
| skellat | knome: Force of habit from LoCo Council so that we had a paper trail to back up what we did | 11:08 |
| skellat | An external paper trail, that is | 11:08 |
| ochosi | bluesabre: hm, fine :) | 11:09 |

| bluesabre | #subtopic Gksu/do | 11:10 |
| bluesabre | ochosi: did you get a chance to chat with ubuntu-devel folks on this? | 11:11 |
| ochosi | i did | 11:11 |
| ochosi | there were some comments about pkexec being superior and gksu being hackery | 11:11 |
| ochosi | but tbh nothing too-convincing | 11:11 |
| ochosi | the other thing is though that it doesn't seem hard to add support for pkexec | 11:12 |
| ochosi | and i guess the list of apps that need it isn't overly long | 11:12 |
| ochosi | (the hackery concerning e.g. how that pwd-dialog is done etc) | 11:12 |
| knome | is there any reason not to move to pkexec (apart from the one-off workload) ? | 11:13 |
| ochosi | well, actually we just fixed a bug wrt pkexec in xfce this weekend (https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9373) | 11:14 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 9373 in General "double fork breaks desktop files containing pkexec" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 11:14 |
| bluesabre | at this point, we've carried 2 (or 3) releases without gksu | 11:14 |
| ochosi | yeah, not too much of an outcry so far | 11:14 |
| knome | you're not answering my question :P | 11:15 |
| ochosi | :> | 11:15 |
| bluesabre | I see no reason to not move to pkexec, other than old habits (gksudo) die hard | 11:15 |
| ochosi | +1 | 11:15 |
| knome | right, then let's move into it | 11:15 |
| skellat | I don't see any reason to avoid the shift to pkexec other than we'll have a differing paradigm from other flavours in case people shift to us. | 11:16 |
| bluesabre | ok | 11:16 |
| knome | if it's horrible, we can reassess that in 15.04 as well | 11:16 |
| ochosi | well for the moment it means improving the status quo if we add policy file | 11:16 |
| ochosi | s | 11:16 |
| ochosi | so i'd go for this incremental improvement and see whether it helps | 11:16 |
| bluesabre | indeed | 11:16 |
| ochosi | anything from the docs-side on this? | 11:16 |
| ochosi | is gksu/do part of the docs? is pkexec mentioned at all? | 11:17 |
| bluesabre | I think gksu parts of the docs were removed, right? | 11:17 |
| knome | there was some work done on it | 11:17 |
| knome | since david is away, you can assign a work item for me to check our situation | 11:18 |
| bluesabre | #action knome to check docs side of including pkexec policy files in favor of gksu | 11:19 |

| bluesabre | #subtopic Xfce bug bounty program | 11:19 |
| ochosi | #info ochosi has helped to set up a bug bounty programme on bountysource.com for Xfce | 11:20 |
| ochosi | i think it would be good to support that by informing people | 11:21 |
| ochosi | we can discuss whether we want to directly put some of our funds on bugreports a bit later | 11:21 |
| ochosi | but the first step should be to put out a blog-post on x.org, g+, fb, twitter, well all the usual suspects basically | 11:21 |

| knome | #nick marketing | 11:22 |
| ochosi | cause i'm already handling a lot of that upstream at xfce | 11:22 |

| bluesabre | #subtopic Trello and Blueprints | 11:23 |
| bluesabre | "Discuss how to continue with Trello and blueprints and evaluate how things are going so far. Also: should the Trello board be public?" | 11:23 |
| bluesabre | So far, I think Trello works well. Makes it easy to find and keep up with task items | 11:24 |
| ochosi | yup | 11:24 |
| ochosi | i think it should be public though | 11:24 |
| ochosi | i don't remember who brought that up earlier (maybe it was in bluesabre's application for upload-rights?) | 11:25 |
| skellat | Yeah, Scott Kitterman brought it up then | 11:25 |
| ochosi | but i don't see any reason to keep this private, since bps are also public | 11:25 |
| bluesabre | Yeah, it should be public. | 11:25 |
| knome | my concern is that when we are using trello, the blueprints aren't kept up-to-date | 11:26 |
| ochosi | well i guess in the long run the question is whether to s/blueprints/trello/ | 11:28 |
| ochosi | but yeah, we've had that problem of not up-to-date blueprints in previous cycles | 11:28 |
| ochosi | and using trello "on the side" this cycle certainly hasn't contributed to mitigating that situation | 11:28 |
| bluesabre | I don't think I'd want to get rid of blueprints | 11:28 |
| knome | yes, trello is okay, but then we shouldn't use blueprints at all | 11:29 |
| knome | the pro for blueprints is that they are always up-to-date regarding bugs linked to them | 11:29 |
| knome | and when they are linked to the status tracker, it's very easy to get an up-to-date overview of the progress | 11:29 |
| knome | of course you need to keep the manually added work items in the blueprints up-to-date as well | 11:30 |
| knome | but with trello, you have to keep the trello board updated | 11:30 |
| knome | the work items, | 11:30 |
| knome | the bugs | 11:30 |
| knome | and in addition there are no good overview stats | 11:30 |
| skellat | One keeps us more firmly grounded within the Ubuntu ecosystem, one does not. Where do we stand is the question we have to consider in the end. | 11:31 |
| knome | i don't think that's the core question | 11:31 |
| ochosi | knome: yup, i agree. the best thing (imho) would be to improve launchpad :> | 11:31 |
| knome | the core question is what works best with the team | 11:31 |
| knome | i mean, many teams have stopped using blueprints already | 11:32 |
| ochosi | but since that's not likely to happen, i guess we have to see what we can live with | 11:32 |
| knome | i prefer the method we used for the reasons stated above | 11:32 |
| ochosi | the sluggishness of launchpad is quite a downer, but yeah, it has all those pros that you mentioned | 11:32 |
| knome | but i'm fine with trello | 11:32 |
| skellat | knome: True. How have our Kubuntu colleagues managed the use of Trello and the use of Launchpad? | 11:32 |
| ochosi | skellat: they exclusively use trello | 11:33 |
| knome | whatever we decide to do, we should make it clear for possible new members what and how we are using | 11:33 |
| knome | and describe the process | 11:33 |
| skellat | knome: Agreed | 11:33 |
| knome | so what's the evaluation on trello so far? | 11:34 |
| ochosi | i personally like it | 11:34 |
| ochosi | it's quite snappy an the overview it provides works well for me | 11:34 |
| ochosi | it's less statistical than status.ubuntu thoug | 11:34 |
| ochosi | h | 11:34 |
| bluesabre | It works well for having an overview of what everyone is doing without jumping between blueprints and bug reports | 11:35 |
| knome | bluesabre, what about the overview page of the status page? | 11:35 |
| ochosi | yeah, the jumping between blueprints is a bit annoying, because they're so slow in usage | 11:35 |
| knome | http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-t/group/topic-t-flavor-xubuntu.html | 11:35 |
| bluesabre | I find that I don't know where most things are on launchpad | 11:35 |
| ochosi | knome: for me, that one is a bit cluttered. i mean it's really comprehensive but too much | 11:36 |
| bluesabre | this is a super helpful page, but I would not know how to get here without your link | 11:36 |
| knome | i partly agree | 11:36 |
| ochosi | the simplicity is what i prefer there with trello | 11:36 |
| ochosi | so yeah, as i said, i'd prefer to improve on the existing infrastructure actually | 11:36 |
| knome | bluesabre, ehm, go to the main page: http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-t/ and click the xubuntu link | 11:36 |
| knome | links are obviously for T, because U hasn't been set up | 11:37 |
| knome | that page also always has links to the blueprints | 11:37 |
| knome | so you can access those easily as well | 11:37 |
| bluesabre | and there's that | 11:37 |
| knome | setting up? that takes 5 minutes | 11:38 |
| bluesabre | right | 11:38 |
| bluesabre | but we haven't done it yet | 11:38 |
| knome | if *that's* the reason what's keeping us from using launchpad, i'll promise to do that every cycle | 11:38 |
| knome | bluesabre, well, yeah, because i didn't get any questions about it from ochosi until i asked him a few days ago whether we were going to set it up altogether | 11:39 |
| bluesabre | that's cool, but I think that's the problem with launchpad | 11:39 |
| knome | what then? | 11:39 |
| knome | things not setting up automatically? | 11:40 |
| bluesabre | too many links, too much content | 11:40 |
| knome | was the trello board set up magically? | 11:40 |
| ochosi | i kinda agree with bluesabre there, the learning curve for launchpad is really different from trello and the likes | 11:40 |
| knome | i understand and can agree | 11:40 |
| Noskcaj | Did i just miss a meeting or something? | 11:40 |
| ochosi | it took me ages and lots of energy to slowly start using it | 11:40 |
| ochosi | Noskcaj: we're still in the middle | 11:40 |
| knome | but it's really a crap argument that "it's too hard to set it up, boo hoo" when it takes 5 minutes | 11:41 |
| Noskcaj | I'm here for ~5 mins | 11:41 |
| bluesabre | right, that's not my argument | 11:41 |
| knome | right, | 11:41 |
| knome | now when the cycle was beginning | 11:41 |
| knome | i was told we were going to use both trello and blueprints to see how they work and which works better | 11:42 |
| knome | obviously i gathered that wrong, because we've mostly been using trello | 11:42 |
| * bluesabre just needs to collect all his bookmarks to navigate launchpad | 11:42 | |
| bluesabre | I might be the only one with this issue :) | 11:42 |
| knome | you don't need the bookmarks really | 11:42 |
| knome | you only ned the main blueprint link | 11:42 |
| knome | or the status.u.c link | 11:43 |
| knome | (for the blueprint stuff, that is) | 11:43 |
| skellat | pad.lv truly helps too | 11:43 |
| knome | i'm not saying people shouldn't have problems perceiving that. | 11:43 |
| ochosi | skellat: what's that? | 11:43 |
| skellat | ochosi: The Launchpad-specific link shortener | 11:43 |
| bluesabre | but yeah, I agree that trello has been getting updated more frequently than the blueprints | 11:44 |
| bluesabre | and that is probably because its easier to use and everything is always in front of you | 11:44 |
| ochosi | sure, that's mostly a fact | 11:44 |
| knome | well the comparison is obviously flawed because the blueprints aren't set up the way they are supposed to | 11:44 |
| ochosi | (i mean the less frequent updates) | 11:44 |
| knome | and when we decided to use... well, "both", i asked whether people would be up for that | 11:45 |
| knome | and everybody was like "sure!" | 11:45 |
| knome | well, now we see it | 11:45 |
| knome | we really can't use BOTH | 11:45 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 11:45 |
| ochosi | knome: the only thing lacking in the bps is the link to status.ubuntu though, right? | 11:45 |
| knome | if we aren't using blueprints, let's not even register them then. | 11:45 |
| knome | ochosi, yeah, and people updating them | 11:45 |
| * skellat throws out the ridiculous suggestion of somebody building a bridge using launchpadlib between trello and lp | 11:46 | |
| knome | ochosi, i don't think you can do a fair comparison between the two during one cycle, because keeping them both up-to-date means almost double the work | 11:47 |
| knome | ochosi, and people are always going to prefer either or | 11:47 |
| bluesabre | Do we want to continue this discussion a bit later to finish up the meeting? Or we can create some action items? I'll need to leave for work shortly | 11:48 |
| skellat | I need to bow out too | 11:48 |
| knome | i don't think we're going to find a resolution with this group of people anyway | 11:49 |
| ochosi | sounds sane | 11:49 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 11:49 |
| knome | just wanted to raise my concerns | 11:49 |
| ochosi | well personally i don't have that many blueprints anyway | 11:49 |
| ochosi | so for me it's not so much work to keep both updated | 11:49 |
| knome | ochosi, work item? | 11:49 |
| knome | ochosi, you personally, but | 11:49 |
| ochosi | knome: that too, but i also am only involved in two blueprints | 11:49 |
| knome | [unit193] Propose a new installable metapackage, xubuntu-core: INPROGRESS | 11:50 |
| knome | isn't that done? | 11:50 |
| ochosi | i know that it's different with others | 11:50 |
| knome | i don't think Unit193 has many items either | 11:50 |
| bluesabre | #action team to continue discussion using Trello, Blueprints | 11:50 |
| meetingology | ACTION: team to continue discussion using Trello, Blueprints | 11:50 |
| ochosi | should be, it's in xubuntu-meta but i don't know whether it's uploaded | 11:50 |
| knome | i'm not blaming anybody, i'm just saying that it isn't working | 11:50 |
| bluesabre | It's uploaded | 11:50 |
| skellat | #nick team | 11:50 |
| knome | besides the work item is "propose", that's surely done | 11:50 |
| bluesabre | :) | 11:50 |
| ochosi | :] | 11:51 |
| knome | just pointing out | 11:51 |
| bluesabre | Unit193 ^ | 11:51 |
| ochosi | knome: fine, let's send a grumpy email to the ml pointing team members towards updating their blueprints | 11:51 |
| ochosi | we can figure out the status.ubuntu thing later | 11:51 |
| ochosi | (maybe not today, but one of these days) | 11:51 |
| knome | also, | 11:51 |
| knome | let me say this one last thing: | 11:52 |
| knome | since you say launchpad is so hard to use | 11:52 |
| knome | and trello is easy | 11:52 |
| knome | why do we need to have "notes"/"help" cards in the trello main view to help people use trello? | 11:52 |
| knome | no need to answer, just wanted to point that out. | 11:52 |
| bluesabre | #subtopic Merged Settings menu in Whisker and classic menu | 11:53 |
| * ochosi has never looked at those | 11:53 | |
| bluesabre | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1310264 | 11:53 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1310264 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Can't search/find items in the Settings Manager" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 11:53 |
| knome | ochosi, i never looked at the launchpad documentation... :P | 11:53 |
| bluesabre | So, I've updated the menu files in xubuntu-default-settings, want to get more feedback | 11:53 |
| bluesabre | https://i.imgur.com/52N8SmP.png | 11:53 |
| bluesabre | https://i.imgur.com/VAbLGmt.png | 11:54 |
| bluesabre | In the classic menu, I've made the Settings menu its own item, do we want to keep this, or how would we like to continue? | 11:54 |
| ochosi | that looks excellent to me | 11:54 |
| ochosi | i think we've had this setup previously in the classic menu | 11:54 |
| bluesabre | yeah | 11:54 |
| ochosi | it's a good fallback and with our default whisker it'll be a nice improvement | 11:55 |
| ochosi | bluesabre: btw, that looks as if some icons were not 16px in that menu | 11:55 |
| ochosi | if you could check and let me know which ones, i'll try to fix that in our icon-theme | 11:56 |
| skellat | I like the new look | 11:56 |
| bluesabre | ok, so if we agree to this, I can push that today | 11:56 |
| ochosi | please do so | 11:56 |
| knome | yep, looks good | 11:56 |
| bluesabre | We also have a few other changes in the next xubuntu-default-settings, if I can get some quick feedback | 11:57 |
| ochosi | sure | 11:57 |
| bluesabre | https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-default-settings/trunk/view/head:/debian/changelog | 11:57 |
| bluesabre | I did a bit of tidying based on comments in the past | 11:58 |
| ochosi | not sure what the 20px thing is about, but the rest is fine | 11:58 |
| bluesabre | 1. Removed the huge white border from xscreensaver, we don't use it anymore, but it does make it look much more attractive | 11:58 |
| ochosi | ok | 11:58 |
| ochosi | then i'm +1 on that | 11:58 |
| ochosi | the battery-plugin will maybe be renamed to xfpm-plugin (because the brightness plugin has been merged in) | 11:59 |
| ochosi | but adding it to the panel is good | 11:59 |
| bluesabre | Also added a reasonable config for compton which mimics our current xfwm compositor | 11:59 |
| ochosi | don't forget to take indicator-power out of the seed | 11:59 |
| bluesabre | yup, that's committed | 11:59 |
| bluesabre | just gotta update meta | 11:59 |
| ochosi | or, if we still seed it (so that we have power-indicator in the greeter/lockscreen) we need to hide it in the indicator-plugin | 11:59 |
| ochosi | i've been testing the compton config on two different setups now and it looks and feels good. this is probably the first time i'm satisfied with compton, so nice work on that :) | 12:00 |
| bluesabre | cool | 12:00 |
| knome | ;) | 12:01 |
| bluesabre | so that's that for xubuntu-defualt-settings | 12:01 |

| meetingology | ACTION: bluesabre to upload new xubuntu-default-settings | 12:01 |
| ochosi | great | 12:01 |
| ochosi | thanks a bunch bluesabre | 12:01 |
| bluesabre | #subtopic Parole's clutter backend | 12:01 |
| bluesabre | #info Abiword already pulls clutter, so parole only adds gstreamer1.0-clutter (111 kb) | 12:02 |
| bluesabre | #info With the clutter backend, parole works correctly even in virtualbox | 12:02 |
| bluesabre | #info performance for clutter is less than xv, but better than just X | 12:03 |
| bluesabre | So, what do we want to do? | 12:03 |
| ochosi | i'm personally in favor of enabling it | 12:03 |
| ochosi | same as with the xchat decision, i'm for trying this in 14.10 | 12:03 |
| ochosi | we can revisit it in 15.04 (or even before the release) if there are some terrible unforeseeable drawbacks | 12:04 |
| bluesabre | With enabling it, do we want to set it as default as well? | 12:04 |
| bluesabre | knome: any thoughts, for or against? | 12:04 |
| knome | 14.10 is a non-LTS release so it's the perfect place to test new things | 12:05 |
| ochosi | i guess by setting it as default, it would get quite a bit of testing | 12:05 |
| ochosi | since totem also uses it by default, i don't see a huge problem there | 12:05 |
| ochosi | we should document that though somewhere | 12:06 |
| knome | another option is to ask Unit193 to build a custom ISO | 12:06 |
| knome | and get that testing | 12:06 |
| ochosi | yeah, if it's only about that one package, i suggest we just go ahead with it | 12:06 |
| knome | just make sure the final assessment if it works or not happens early enough to be able to revert the change | 12:07 |
| bluesabre | of course :) | 12:07 |
| ochosi | i guess enabling by default is a thing for x-d-s anyway | 12:07 |
| bluesabre | right | 12:07 |
| ochosi | so the first step of adding it in parole is definitely fine | 12:07 |
| knome | i know it is an obvious thing, but we've been too late before ;) | 12:07 |
| ochosi | knome: true, but this time we actually have an uploader ;) | 12:08 |
| ochosi | bluesabre: so yeah, i'm +1 on both (add, default) | 12:08 |
| bluesabre | ok, I'll make these changes today | 12:09 |
| knome | ochosi, yeah yeah | 12:09 |
| knome | ;) | 12:09 |
| ochosi | thanks again bluesabre | 12:09 |

| edmael | Hi! | 15:47 |
| edmael | I'm trying to hack some Xfce component but I'd like to understand how they're compiled on Xubuntu and what make or autogen options are used. Is there a simple way to check this? On Arch I used to check the PKGBUILD and it's pretty simple, I wonder if there's a similar way. | 15:48 |
| edmael | Hi | 16:59 |
| elfy | hello | 16:59 |

| Unit193 | knome: Yeah, that is rather my fault, I didn't update the BP. | 18:22 |
| knome | Unit193, that's not the point, but thanks for keeping it up-to-date ;) | 18:22 |
| Unit193 | I would have gotten the trello card, had Sean not already done so. :D And yeah, know it's not the point, but still. | 18:24 |

| ochosi | knome, pleia2: lemme know when we can talk about promiting bountysource for xfce – or whether there is actually a need for that | 19:31 |
| ochosi | i guess what we want is pretty obvious, i.e. promote the programme on all our "channels" | 19:31 |
| elfy | evening ochosi | 19:31 |
| ochosi | hey elfy | 19:32 |
| ochosi | how's it going? | 19:32 |
| elfy | ok thanks :) | 19:32 |
| ochosi | good to hear | 19:33 |
| elfy | tried to read the meeting logs - tldr, read the summary instead | 19:33 |
| ochosi | i guess bluesabre didn't have time to put up the minutes, as he had to leave immediately after the meeting | 19:33 |
| ochosi | it took a bit longer than anticipated | 19:33 |
| elfy | Unit193: so - I'd say that we need to test install of it, what it gives you - eg less than normal but enough | 19:34 |
| elfy | ochosi: yea I noticed :p | 19:34 |
| knome | ochosi, i'm mostly off tomorrow and thursday | 19:35 |
| ochosi | knome: yeah, i'm actually also travelling around in the country and have meetings | 19:36 |
| ochosi | is the beginning of next week or even the weekend more realistic for you? | 19:36 |
| elfy | Unit193: mmm - so it just appears to be doing nothing now it's downloading bits | 19:36 |
| elfy | oh | 19:36 |
| elfy | kernel module problem | 19:37 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, I had initramfs problem... | 19:37 |
| elfy | ok | 19:37 |
| Unit193 | (Told it to continue anyway, we'll see.) | 19:37 |
| elfy | so it's not something we can write up and get people to just test yet then | 19:37 |
| elfy | ploughing on for the moment :p | 19:38 |
| * ochosi didn't know elfy had a plough | 19:39 | |
| elfy | yep | 19:39 |
| elfy | and a horse to pull it :) | 19:39 |
| ochosi | lucky you! | 19:40 |
| elfy | I wish | 19:40 |
| Unit193 | elfy: So, does it look to be installing stuff it shouldn't? It may be "Expert Command-line install" that we need if so. | 19:41 |
| elfy | no it looks like it's installing the right stuff | 19:42 |
| elfy | retrieving partman etc atm | 19:43 |
| elfy | Unit193: so it doesn't find the vbox drive ... | 19:52 |
| elfy | and the install option for me gets the same no kernel module found thing | 19:56 |
| * elfy gives up for the night | 19:57 | |
| Unit193 | Well, mine worked, but I had to use the caret option so I'm remembering wrong it seems. :P | 20:00 |
| * Unit193 can't remember which gives tasksel. | 20:00 | |
| elfy | I don't get that far ... | 20:00 |
| ochosi | Unit193: remember to document that stuff ;) | 20:01 |
| elfy | are you using 32bit or 64 bit - not that it should make a difference | 20:01 |
| Unit193 | ochosi: https://sigma.unit193.net/~unit193/core.html | 20:01 |
| Unit193 | elfy: 32. | 20:01 |
| ochosi | Unit193: yeah, that was just re: "remembering wrong" ;) | 20:01 |
| Unit193 | ochosi: Oh no, my memory is terrible, I know this well. :D | 20:02 |
| ochosi | hehe | 20:02 |
| ochosi | good good | 20:02 |
| elfy | Unit193: forget that - I picked Install :D | 20:03 |
| Unit193 | ochosi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZLAlceZ2qo | 20:03 |
| Unit193 | elfy: That was my next try, thanks. | 20:03 |
| elfy | well up to now everything has failed on kernel modules and not finding them | 20:04 |
| elfy | and I think it is going to do the same again | 20:04 |
| elfy | http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-290714-210529.php | 20:05 |
| elfy | so I've had the same on every option and tried 32 and 64 bit | 20:06 |
| ochosi | Unit193: will look as soon as that video from openshot has finished exporting | 20:06 |
| ochosi | (so tomorrow maybe) | 20:06 |
| Unit193 | elfy: I'm also using us. | 20:06 |
| elfy | gb archives here | 20:07 |
| elfy | giving up for now | 20:07 |
| ochosi | awwh | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | So, it seems to have worked. Anything you want me to check, ochosi, knome? | 20:36 |
| knome | was? | 20:36 |
| Unit193 | Is? | 20:37 |
| Unit193 | I did a mini+Command-line install and have a desktop. Not sure if there's anything you want me to test? | 20:38 |
