Luyinhi guys, I'd like to contribute to the development of Xubuntu. I'm a total beginner at programming, but I might be of some use when it comes to writing FAQs, documentation and translation, and I can test packages and help finding bugs.07:38
NoskcajLuyin, Welcome to the team07:43
Luyinthanks Noskcaj 07:43
Noskcajour head of QA (testing) should be around in an hour or two if that's what you want to get into07:43
NoskcajYou mentioned translation, what languages do you know?07:45
LuyinNoskcaj: english and german (and some probably unuseful stuff like latin and ancient greek ;)07:46
NoskcajIf you want to do translations, look at https://wiki.xfce.org/translations and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGermanTranslators07:49
Noskcajand slickymaster is the documentation lead07:50
ochosibluesabre: thanks a bunch!07:51
Luyinthanks for the info, Noskcaj, I'll look into it07:51
Noskcajgreat07:52
Noskcajevening elfy 07:52
elfyhi Noskcaj 07:52
NoskcajLuyin, elfy is our QA lead, if it's testing you want to be involved in, talk to him07:53
Luyinhi elfy 07:53
elfyhi Luyin 07:53
Luyinelfy: I just said I'd like to contribute with translations (English, German), documentation, FAQ; testing packages, reporting bugs, and the like. I don't programme (except for some small perl scripts), but I thought I might be of some use07:55
elfyLuyin: yep I'd just read the backlog, docs and faq stuff ->slickymaster and knome07:56
elfyI don't programmer either ;)07:56
Luyinok :)07:56
elfyas far as testing goes - we're constantly doing 2 things - image testing and package testing07:56
elfydo you have a launchpad account?07:56
Luyinelfy: yes I do07:57
elfyokey doke - and are you actually using 14.10 daily - or still using 14.04 ?07:57
Luyinelfy: I'm using 14.04 for productivity. But I can install 14.10 dailies in VMs07:58
elfycool 07:58
Luyinalternatively, I've got a spare laptop for playing around, but I'd like to stick witht the VMs as long as that's possible07:59
elfyso basically daily tests for images are at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/315/builds07:59
elfyand the package tests are at http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/316/builds/67147/testcases07:59
elfyso - install vm - pick a test run it- report the result on the relevant tracker and I'll be happy chappy :)08:00
Luyinall right :) I'll start this evening after work. looking forward to it!08:01
elfyjoin the dev m/l and also the LP testers group - most detail is on http://xubuntu.org/contribute/qa/08:01
elfyyou'll see calls from me when we're testing specific things - this week we'll be testing the beta image08:02
elfythat'll be important :)08:02
elfyLuyin: what timezone are you in?08:02
Luyinelfy: germany, Berlin08:03
elfyLuyin: nice - so I should be more or less about when you are if you need anything, other wise anyone should be able to help you :)08:04
Luyinelfy: ok great, thanks :)08:04
brainwashLuyin: welcome :)08:05
brainwashLuyin: I suggest that you also create an account for the Xfce bug tracker https://bugzilla.xfce.org/08:06
brainwashso you can create upstream bug reports or add comments to them08:06
Luyinthanks brainwash, I'll do that08:06
elfymorning brainwash 08:07
brainwashhey elfy 08:07
Luyinok, a whole lot of new bookmarks to go through, hehe08:07
elfy:)08:08
elfyUnit193: so why is the mini iso looking for 3.16.0-6-generic instead of current08:33
elfyochosi: yea, got an issue with the mini iso and kernel modules currently - all come to a standstill, I'll test the testcase against the trusty one - so we can get the tracker set up now at least08:34
elfyI'd got talk to cjwatson but he'll be having the day off like I am08:37

brainwashbluesabre: more and more people complain about the behavior change caused by the latest xfpm bug fix update in trusty09:20
brainwashwhich is bug 134905609:20

brainwashxfpm has stopped to inhibit logind once again or sth like that09:22
elfyloads of updates for xubuntu website http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-250814-102355.php09:25
brainwashxubuntu website?!09:26
elfyyea - update mangler mangling again perhaps :)09:27
brainwashweird grouping of updates09:27
elfyindeed, first time I've seen it say anything about xubuntu website :)09:27
brainwashdon't use this evil piece of software :>09:28
elfyI don't very often, I just let it pretend to be used - I am after all testing the dev version :D09:28
bluesabrebrainwash: more and more people are basically following their own steps to fix the problem, instead of what we outline... they even that their xfconf settings for xfpm are incorrect.09:35
bluesabreit sounds like they are skipping the "Press Apply" step to me.09:35
brainwashah, so it's just a misconfiguration09:36
bluesabrepossibly09:36
brainwashand the default setup (clean install) should be OK09:36
bluesabreochosi, can you and eric check it out?09:36
bluesabreyeah, default should work, we even had verified fixes from several users09:36
bluesabreor that they are having a bug at a different step, where the login screen is black09:37
bluesabremore and more, it sounds like X failing on VT switch09:37
bluesabreand I'd argue, that's not quite our fault09:38
elfy\o/ installing xubuntu minimal now 09:39
bluesabreI'd suggest leaving a comment to run this command: xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -s false09:41
bluesabrewhich toggles the setting when clicking apply off, apply on09:41
brainwashbluesabre: ok, will do09:43
bluesabrethanks09:43
Unit193elfy: Jump from Trusty to Utopic or something?09:49
elfyUnit193: not sure - but I go the mini again and it's installing, very odd - must have not got the new image when I thought I did09:51
Unit193Yeah not sure, when I tested it it worked fine. :/09:52
elfywho knows - anyway it's almost finished now, checking the testcase, will get that up for merge and sync shortly, balloons is going to sort the tracker for me, then we can call next week for it and move the damn things from to do/doing to done :)09:53
Unit193Thanks a ton, yeah that'll be nice.09:54
Unit193ochosi: ^ status.09:54
Unit193(Didn't get the link to the testcase before I tried it, but I could try it again.)09:55
elfythe updated one is only local - the pad one is wrong in places09:56
Unit193bluesabre: As to what to do, could wait and hold off for a new upstream release, or just go with http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt-offline/apt-offline.git/commit/?id=debf1ea478ec05bbfea4005156c1652af69ebd80 and upload, fixing Bug #1357217.09:57

Unit193Yes.09:59

Unit193(Commented because it's seeded, but broken thus useless right now.)09:59

bluesabreUpstream might take a while, we can deliver an ubuntu patch for now10:02
Unit193OK, thanks.10:04
Unit193Think that's the only status update for now.10:05
elfyUnit193: ok - that's all done, mp done - just got to wait for balloons now10:07

Unit193bluesabre: It's native, nope. :D10:11
elfyslickymasterWork: you can if you like - though I assume you mean the mp 10:11
Unit193Though I can of course, if you'd like.10:11
elfyslickymasterWork: it'd possibly be better if I can get it all synced so balloons can just deal with the tracker10:12
knomeUnit193, that'd be great, on your way to per-package upload rights ;)10:12
bluesabreIf you've got the time, otherwise remind me about it tonight/tomorrow10:12
slickymasterWorkyes, I meant the MP, of course ;)10:12

Unit193bluesabre: menulibre is in the packageset.  Also, syncs are uploads.10:47
bluesabrehm10:47
bluesabrewhy did I get rejected then when I tried to push menulibre 2.0.5 for trusty for sru?10:48
Unit193You are packageset for Xubuntu Utopic+10:49
bluesabreI thought they enabled it for trusty as well10:49
bluesabrealso, where do you view these stats?10:49
bluesabreI dig around a lot and think I get the right info10:49
Unit193Oh, that's been changed, yeah.  I see, thought you meant menulibre/utopic, it's still not in trusty, nevermind.10:50
bluesabrebut yeah, is there a link with packageset info, or a command?10:51

Unit193OK, debdiff added too.10:58
knomebluesabre, break it break it!!10:58
bluesabreUnit193: should we use quilt with native packages?10:58
Unit193It's native, not quilt, so I'm going with no.  debian-installer and apt both also just make direct changes.  Also, IMO not quite as bad as it'd normally be, as I'm sure we'll sync the next release for V, right?11:02
