Unit193Adios.00:08
ochosibluesabre: actually that seems to depend on kernel/hardware/drivers, it's impossible for me to switch it entirely off (i.e. there is a hardware limit or something)07:21

ochosibluesabre: if you could reply to hjudt on the xfce-devel email, i forwarded your issue (he's the backlight expert)10:37
bluesabreaw, I have to open my email10:44
bluesabre:<10:44
bluesabreochosi: responded10:48
ochosithanks :)10:52
ochosibetter to discuss such issues so that more ppl can easily follow10:52
ochosiwe might need more testing, the backlight stuff in particular, but the power manager as a whole needs lots of hw testing10:53
ochosi(i mean it's unlikely to work worse than before, but...)10:53
bluesabre:)10:53
ochosialso, i think currently the menu disappears when you let go of the handle, not sure i like that10:53
bluesabreso, did Unit193 volunteer to package the soundmenu?10:53
bluesabreyes it does, there is a way to fix that10:54
ochosikinda, but matias uses his own mpris library10:54
bluesabrebut I forgot the particulars10:54
ochosiso that needs packaging as well10:54
bluesabrefun10:54
ochosiand i wanna ask him why that's necessary10:54
bluesabresounds like lots of work10:54
ochosiyeah, since he wrote his own library, i don't believe he'll drop it because i ask10:55
bluesabreprobably because mpris is not the easiest to work with, and an interface library simplifies things10:55
ochosibut if we consider it as an alternative to the soundmenu we currently have, we should talk about it10:55
bluesabreI mean, its dbus, but complicated dbus10:55
bluesabreyeah10:55
ochosii think it'd be a good start for my plan to rid us of the dependency of indicators10:56
ochosii mean they generally work really nicely now, but i expect more problems ahead with the porting to phone etc10:57
ochosiand unity8/qt10:57
ochosiso i'd rather have alternatives ready when that starts going down10:57
bluesabreyeah, makes sense to me10:58
ochosianother thing i'm sometimes wondering about is what'll happen with the systray as soon as xfce goes gtk310:59
ochosi(no more xembed)10:59
ochosiso plugins are generally a safe bet10:59
bluesabregoing to have some new releases of mugshot, catfish, and menulibre this weekend... time permitting11:06
bluesabreochosi, will you be around this weekend?11:06
ochosicool11:06
ochosiyeah, i will be11:06
ochositoday i won't, gotta rush of to a family festivity11:07
ochosibut sat and sun i should be around11:07
bluesabrecool11:07
bluesabreI'll also try to email andrew today... but it seems like the greeter development finally slowed down11:08
ochosiyeah, he didn't respond to my last email11:09
ochosiguess he's busy11:10
ochosithe dualhead setup is a nice feature, but having to write your own xrandr-script for the greeter... not sure about that11:10
ochosii mean it's still useful, generally speaking, but it'll only be a small fraction of all users that'd benefit from that11:11
bluesabreyeah, but thats like most features in a login screen ;)11:12
ochosipartly true, but this one generally has the potential to improve the default behavior11:14
ochosibut i think we should move away from all the customizability a bit11:14
ochosiit complicates the code quite a bit11:14
ochosiand instead implement a better default11:14
ochosi(not sure andrew will like that though)11:15
ochosirighty, i gotta take off, ttyl11:18
bluesabreagreed11:18
bluesabrehave fun, seeya11:18
ochosiu2, cya11:18
