bluesabreochosi: secret to building with lxpanel support?01:40
bluesabrechecking for optional package lxpanel >= 0.5.6... not found01:40
bluesabrelxpanel:  Installed: 0.6.2-0ubuntu101:40
bluesabrebbl to package more stuff in the morning01:42
Unit193Alrighty, thanks.01:43
elfyUnit193: ochosi - once tasksel is  actually done I guess we can move on a bit and get the testcases up and available for people then call06:45
elfyochosi: noticed a strange thing when writing mails in thunderbird theming wise, not sure if it's *us* or not - http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-210814-075620.php and http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-210814-075656.php06:58
ochosimorning elfy 07:26
ochosihm, thunderbird isn't really gtk, so not much i can do abuot that07:27
elfymorning boss 07:27
ochosiwhich part looks off to you exactly?07:27
elfyI did wonder, but thought I'd mention it07:27
ochosisure, anytime07:27
ochosithese things are important, i don't see everything :)07:27
ochosi(and for instance thunderbird i don't use)07:27
ochosibluesabre: i'll ask eric, i really have never tried to build with lxde support07:28
elfyhave a look in the second screeny - below the tool bar - it's *sunk* 07:28
ochosiyou mean the textarea for the email?07:29
ochosior the formatting toolbar07:29
ochosior the weird lines for the addressees07:29
elfythe weird lines is what made me look - but it's almost like from the toolbar down is all at a different level 07:30
ochosiright, no, i guess that's a thunderbird "style feature" :)07:31
elfybut if it's nothing to do with us - that's fine, I'll fiddle about with it and see what I can find07:31
elfyochosi: then it's a new feature :p07:31
ochosii guess it is, yeah07:31
elfyI'll see if others are seeing it in non-Xubuntu07:32
ochosigood idea07:33

knomeslickymasterWork, (how) have you translated "ThisEntry" (?)09:15
Unit193https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=74550909:16
ubottuDebian bug 745509 in wnpp "RFP: light-locker-settings -- Simple configuration tool for light-locker." [Wishlist,Open]09:16
slickymasterWorkknome, where is that one, in MenuLibre?09:18
knomeyep09:19
slickymasterWorkgive me a second09:19
knomei'm mostly wondering if it should be a translation at all, or if i should keep it as is09:21
knomei mean, whether it's a known technical term for something09:21
slickymasterWorksorry knome, something came up here at work09:22
knomeCopy text 09:22
knome"Hidden": Hidden should have been called Deleted. It means the user deleted09:22
knome(at his level) something that was present (at an upper level, e.g. in the09:22
knomesystem dirs). It's strictly equivalent to the .desktop file not existing at09:22
knomeall, as far as that user is concerned. This can also be used to "uninstall"09:22
knomeexisting files (e.g. due to a renaming) - by letting make install install a09:22
knomefile with Hidden=true in it.09:22
knomebluesabre, ^09:22
knomebluesabre, i don't think that description is something that the *user* needs/wants to read in menulibre09:22
knomeslickymasterWork, no problem09:22
knomebluesabre, thinking same of some of the other tooltips too.09:23
slickymasterWorkI haven't. And that's not the only one, there's also the tags "NoDisplay", "StartupNotify", "TryExec" that I think shouldn't be translated09:23
knomeyep.09:23
knomethose are the tooltips09:24
slickymasterWorkI was thinking in maintaining them as they are, but I noticed that the french translation opt to translate them09:24
knomeThisEntry?09:25
knomethe tags in "Quotes" should actually not be translated..09:25
knomebecause they are the technical tags in the .desktop files09:25
knomeso if you understand .desktop-files on a raw level, translating them just confuses you (more)09:26
slickymasterWorkactually I was just referring to "NoDisplay", "StartupNotify", didn't saw if they translate ThisEntry09:26
knomei was referring to those you were referring09:26
knomei actually think bluesabre should fix the translation template.09:26
slickymasterWorklol, we're speaking about the same thing, tehn :909:26
slickymasterWorkhm hm, agree09:27
knomeand as i said, some of those tooltips go on a way too specific, technical level09:27
knomelike the "hidden" tooltip09:27
knome^ as posted aboe09:27
slickymasterWorkexactly09:27
knome*above09:27
knomeit could simply be:09:27
knome"The field is stricly equivalent to the .desktop file not existing at all, as far as the user is concerned."09:28
knomeor, "It's ..."09:28
slickymasterWorkthat's my opinion also. And besides tooltips are ment too be descriptive, not technical 09:29
bluesabreknome, slickymasterWork: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html09:32
slickymasterWorkbluesabre, but isn't that the template from which to work, thus not meaning it should be transferred verbatim to every application?09:35
knomebluesabre, i've looke at that page, but i don't think it's a good idea to copy it word-to-word09:36
slickymasterWorkshouldn't it be considered like a master script guideline?09:36
bluesabreyes09:36
bluesabrestop writing the same thing, guys09:36
* slickymasterWork views it like knome 09:36
bluesabre:)09:36
knomebluesabre, also, since the tags that shouldn't be translated are at the beginning of the line, you could simply leave them out09:36
bluesabreI know, I know09:37
knomebluesabre, i mean, even the english version shouldn't be exactly the same as in the docs09:37
slickymasterWorkyes09:37
bluesabreI wanted to fix it, can't really fix it while on the 2.0.x series, has to be with the next release09:37
bluesabreI'd be just as happy to drop the tooltips entirely09:38
ochosioh hey bluesabre 09:39
ochosiearly morning09:39
slickymasterWorkhey ochosi 09:39
ochosimorning slickymasterWork 09:39
bluesabrebut yeah, haven't worked on menulibre-next yet... spent most of this cycle maintaining 2.0 for trusty/utopic09:43
Unit193Hrm, we getting xfpm 1.3.2?09:43
bluesabreyeah, I can push it at any time09:44
bluesabreochosi, let me know if you figure out the lxpanel building09:44
bluesabreI'm sure the lubuntu folks would be appreciative09:44
bluesabre:)09:44
Unit193Aha, that's what it's pending on.09:44
bluesabrebut yeah, I'll push what I have before heading to work this morning09:45
slickymasterWorkdamn LP timeouts09:48
ochosibluesabre: what's the plan with the display dialog?09:51
bluesabre:\ was really hoping nick would appear09:51
ochosiwell just man up and do the release09:51
ochosi;)09:52
ochosiafter all, it's just a dev release09:52
bluesabrepushed xfpm and xds updates10:07
ochosisweet10:07
ochosifwiw, i've gotten in touch with gilir (via email) a longer while ago about the lubuntu plugin – and we also asked him for some input/feedback/testing, but nothing ever came of it10:07
Unit193@ubuntu.com?  He tends to run rather busy.  As far as testing, it'd have to be built but I know who to poke.10:12
meetingologyUnit193: Error: "ubuntu.com?" is not a valid command.10:12
ochosiUnit193: well he did initially reply, so he surely knows about it ;)10:16
ochosihe just never gave concrete feedback or tested it10:16
ochosibut if you know who to poke, please do so!10:16
Unit193Only in terms of testing, like poking the Elf here it won't help with building it properly.10:17
ochosiright, then i misunderstood you10:25
ochosii assumed you knew who to poke for building10:25
Unit193gilir.10:26
ochosiUnit193: wanna poke cjwatson again for tasksel?10:26
ochosiright, i can send him another email after sean has uploaded the 1.3.2 package10:27
Unit193I could PPA the lxpanel plugin, but that's about it.10:31
ochosiwell that's something10:32
Unit193Annnd, I'm out.10:37
Unit193Ahahaha, I see why it's breaking. :D10:41
Unit193Shoot, I was supposed to go out.10:42
knome"out"? what's that?10:43
knomebluesabre, what do you recommend doing with the tooltips with 2.0.x then?10:43
knomebluesabre, tbh, i'm considering just untranslating all/most of them for now until we actually have better versions of the instructions10:44
knomebluesabre, and, how do you want to cooperate on making the tooltips better?10:44
bluesabrewell, they're not going anyplace yet (code is frozen in trusty), so do what you think is best10:44
knomei'd put them in a pad, but i'm open for anything else as well.10:45
knomeoh btw,10:45
knomehmm, i take that last "btw" back.10:46
bluesabreYeah, let's work together to improve that for next time10:47
knomehttp://pad.ubuntu.com/MenuLibreTooltips10:47
slickymasterWorkbah, I went on and translated them10:48
ochosiUnit193: ehm, so why is it breaking?10:48
slickymasterWorkbut you're right knome, they shoud be reworked/improved10:48
bluesabreworking on the xfce4-settings package now11:00
ochosigreat stuff11:00
bluesabresuppose I should push a xubuntu-icon-theme package too11:00
bluesabreor wait until closer to the next release11:01
bluesabre*beta11:01
ochosiwe can do one for beta or a week before UIF11:01
ochosii mean generally it'd be good i guess for the xfpm icons11:01

brainwashno11:06
brainwashbut 3 users follow this bug already11:07

brainwashI see11:09
brainwashdoes anyone actually use our staging PPA?11:09
bluesabreI do11:09
ochosihard to tell11:09
bluesabreand have no issues with it11:09
brainwashbluesabre: did you try to reproduce the issue?11:10
ochosibut it's there for testers primarily, so it's useful either way11:10
bluesabreyes11:10
bluesabreand it works fine11:10
ochosimaybe an arch user?11:10
ochosi:}11:10
brainwash:D11:10
bluesabreyou joke, but that's my first thought as well11:10
knome;]11:10
bluesabreanybody else using the staging ppa and able to confirm if that is an issue?11:11
brainwashnot many testers around :/11:12
bluesabreplenty of team members11:12
ochosii've been testing it as well11:13
ochosion multiple machines11:14
knomebluesabre, do you actually *understand* StartupWMClass?11:14
ochosimostly trusty so far though11:14
ochosiso yeah, i can't reproduce the problem either, all works fine11:14
knomebluesabre, and what's the real way to describe StartupNotification11:15
ochosirighty, gotta grab some lunch now11:15
ochosibbl11:15
knomebluesabre, in TryExec, does the menu just check if the file exist or does it run it and expect some kind of reply from it?11:16
knomebluesabre, if it just checks it, why is it important that it's an executable?11:16
bluesabreknome: StartupWMClass helps window managers/apps to know what to expect when the app is loaded11:16
bluesabreknome: StartupNotification, show a busy cursor until the app is started11:16
knomeah11:16
bluesabreknome: TryExec, dunno, lots of these things were added to the spec back when DEs sucked11:17
knomere: StartupWMClass: if you set a string in that, will it be sent, or does the app also need to support it?11:17
ochosiwow, http://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2014/08/21/new-human-interface-guidelines-for-gnome-and-gtk/11:17
knomeor is it a menu-specific thing that the menu/launcher app needs to handle?11:18
bluesabreknome, an example of that http://kb.openstudioproject.com/content/fix-double-google-chrome-icon-docky-and-plank11:18
bluesabreit's for launchers/window managers to have a better idea11:18
knomeright, so it has nothing to do with the app supporting anything?11:19
knomewhat if you set StartupNotification to true but the app doesn't support it?11:19
bluesabreknome: dunno, that's why these things are in the Advanced tab11:21
knomelol11:21
knomestartup notification is NOT11:21
bluesabreI imagine its about how its supported in xfwm, mutter, etc11:21
knomeit's in the main options..11:21
bluesabreoh right11:21
bluesabrewell, dunno11:21
bluesabresome apps define this automatically, others do not11:21
bluesabreI'd say its up to the user to kill or enable these things11:22
knomeyeah, but if you create a new launcher11:22
knomeand then set that11:22
knomewhat happens if it's not supported?11:22
bluesabreNothing different11:22
knomeis the cursor going to be "working" forever?11:22
knomeor just not ever changing to "working" ?11:22
* bluesabre shrugs11:23
knomedo you know any application that doesn't support it?11:23
knomeor is it dependent on the WM?11:23
bluesabreI think its dependent wm/app/toolkit11:24
bluesabrecatfish supports it11:24
bluesabrebut I did not add that specifically11:24
knomeright11:24
bluesabreprobably toolkits handle it so most apps get it by default11:25
bluesabreand wm is able to connect process id with x window11:25
bluesabreso yeah, its a group effort11:25
knomeright11:25
knomehttp://pad.ubuntu.com/MenuLibreTooltips should be ready for use now.11:26
bluesabrexfce4-settings pushed to utopic11:27
knomecan you push those to menulibre trunk ^ ? :P11:28
knomeyou can then upload a new version for the translation updates only for utopic.11:28
Unit193ochosi: https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages copy lxpanel and xfce4-power-manager to your PPA.11:37
Unit193Oh bleh, maybe bluesabre can?11:37
Unit193bluesabre: So, Debian lxpanel has --destdir in override_dh_auto_install as the only other package is lxpanel-dbg, Ubuntu added lxpanel-indicator-plugin thus removed the override and used an *install file.  Since then, the -dev package was dropped as all it had was one header file and one pc file and the Ubuntu merge carried over this change, but failed to actually install those files anywhere.11:40
