ochosibluesabre: we could actually mention the compton config in the release notes00:00
bluesabreochosi: not sure this is getting executed, still no output there00:01
ochosiyou're opening the menu though, right00:01
ochosi?00:01
bluesabreochosi: maybe, but then it'd seem like we're endorsing its use00:01
bluesabreyes00:01
bluesabreso, maybe not prefix=/usr00:01
bluesabre?00:01
ochosinah, that should work00:02
ochosiyou can uninstall the xfpm from the repos to be sure thogh00:02
ochosithough00:02
bluesabregot it00:05
bluesabreI see state = 1 and state = 000:06
ochosiwhat, both?00:07
ochosii mean that'd explain it00:07
ochosido you have >1 device?00:07
bluesabrelaptop battery00:10
bluesabreok, mouse is 000:10
ochosibluesabre: right, then i still don't get why it ends up with a progressbar00:14
ochosi(also, in case of the battery, it should return too)00:15
bluesabreprobably does, I have the print above the returns00:16
ochosishould for both, question is why doesn't it00:17
ochosido you see any obvious mistake or something?00:17
bluesabreone sec00:18
bluesabre?00:21
bluesabrenow it had no progressbar00:21
ochosiwoot00:21
ochosirandom?00:21
bluesabrenot sure, investigating00:22
Unit193bluesabre: Didja update it for me?00:23
bluesabreochosi: I guess the patch works now00:23
bluesabre:\00:23
Unit193And do uploads, and give me powers, and coffee?00:23
ochosibluesabre: humm, you guess..? :s00:23
bluesabreyeah, its working00:23
bluesabreno idea why it didn't before, must be user-error00:24
bluesabrewell00:24
ochosiok, in that case try the real deal: http://git.xfce.org/users/ochosi/xfce4-power-manager/log/?h=private/unknown_device_state00:24
bluesabreworking as in no progressbar00:24
ochosiyeah00:24
bluesabreUnit193: I'll get it uploaded tonight or tomorrow latest00:25
Unit193OK, sure, no hurry.00:26
bluesabreochosi: warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.00:26
bluesabreI think I really dislike the user branches00:27
ochosiwell you can add the user branch to the normal repo locally00:29
ochosithen you shouldn't get that error i think00:29
bluesabrethere we go00:32
ochosiwe do?00:32
bluesabremaybe00:32
ochosiah00:32
bluesabregithub is easier00:33
bluesabregot it finally00:34
bluesabrebuilding00:34
bluesabrenow the plugin dies on load00:34
bluesabreyay00:34
Unit193:D00:35
bluesabre(process:28041): xfce4-panel-wrapper-CRITICAL **: Wrapper power-manager-plugin-2: Failed to open plugin module "/usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libxfce4powermanager.so": /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libxfce4powermanager.so: undefined symbol: layout_set_font.00:35
ochosistrange00:36
ochosilayout_set_font is a rather normal function00:37
ochosinot sure why that wouldn't work, we use it in the display dialog too00:38
ochosifeel free to comment it out though00:38
bluesabrebeats me00:38
ochosiit worked for eric btw00:38
bluesabreprobably just a messy build env00:39
ochosihe even showed me a screenshot of that blue bubble, so i know he wasn't faking it00:39
ochosibluesabre: wanna try "pango_layout_set_font_description" instead?00:41
bluesabreochosi: that fixed it00:45
bluesabrepango_layout_set_font_description (layout, pango_font_description_from_string ("Sans Bold 9"));00:45
ochosihm, maybe layout_set_font is deprecated or something00:45
bluesabremaybe00:46
ochosiso wait, does it work now as it should?00:46
bluesabrethings disappear quicker than we code00:46
ochosiindeed00:46
ochosii mean do you see the blue bubble or does it just build and run?00:47
bluesabreochosi: http://imgur.com/JzqXM0Q00:47
ochosihm right. so apart from the ? not being centered anymore...00:47
bluesabregetting there00:47
bluesabre:)00:47
bluesabreneed me to test anything else?00:48
ochosinope, actually that's it00:48
bluesabresweet00:49
ochosii'll tweak the positioning of the ?00:50
ochosiso if you could test that once more00:50
ochosithat'd be great00:50
bluesabresure thing00:51
ochosihttp://dpaste.com/38WBPV900:51
ochosibluesabre: ^00:51
ochosi(you can obviously ignore that one line about the font)00:52
bluesabreochosi: http://imgur.com/2Xw9NMa00:53
bluesabrebingo00:53
ochosiyup, that's pretty much it00:54
ochosii'm a bit afraid of the installed fonts affecting the positioning00:54
ochosimind testing one last thing?00:54
bluesabresure00:54
ochosisetting your system font to something else and restarting the panel00:54
ochosithen check whether it's still centered00:54
bluesabrewe can load it into fedora and watch it die with that font rendering00:55
bluesabrek00:55
ochosi(iirc "Sans" falls back to whatever)00:55
ochosi(or even gets overridden)00:55
bluesabrelooks the same with ubuntu font00:55
ochosimkay, i guess that's a good sign00:56
bluesabreindeed00:56
Unit193So right, what's on the pad?00:57
bluesabrelots of scribbles00:57
bluesabrehttp://pad.ubuntu.com/S030Pt7VHy00:57
ochosibluesabre: i'll tweak the colors a bit more00:58
ochosiand then i guess i'll push it00:58
ochosinot sure why it didn't just work for eric00:58
ochosi(he also got the progressbar plus the bubble)00:58
Unit193I scribbled, it's not pretty.00:59
bluesabreUnit193: works for me01:01
Unit193Great.01:01
bluesabreso, I need to update power-manager depends and restore the xfwm patch?01:01
ochosibluesabre: ok, last nag for tonight: http://dpaste.com/3JS241C01:02
bluesabreochosi: nicer http://imgur.com/2GgYT8Y01:04
ochosiyup, i think for now i'm happy with it01:05
Unit193bluesabre: Something like that, but not quite no.01:05
bluesabreRecommends: xfce4-panel | lxpanel01:06
bluesabreor Depends01:06
bluesabreor just look at what you did01:06
bluesabre:D01:06
Unit193It's being added by misc:Depends or shlib:Depends, so not as simple.  xfwm I have done sitting in source/01:07
bluesabreoh right01:08
bluesabreno fun, that one.01:08
ochosibluesabre: thanks again for testing, pushed to master01:16
bluesabreochosi: great, thanks :)01:16
Unit193He broke it.01:17
ochosiwho?01:19
bluesabreskellat01:24
ochosinight everyone01:24
bluesabrenight ochosi01:24
ochosiaha01:24
Unit193ochosi: Sleepy well, if you can.01:24
Unit193ochosi: http://paste.openstack.org/show/9epDPTmSpE6L5z1VfHzG/ some basic stats, been around for a while.  A bit off since the one was just updated.05:45
Unit193We need to bump 1361459?05:50
elfybluesabre: we had 5/5 on both after I finished - what I'm interested in is seeing more than 5 results in each of the arch's - otherwise I just as well mark the damn things ready once I've finished06:20
ochosielfy: i'm dling the image now...07:39
elfymorning ochosi 07:39
ochosimorning07:40
elfyI just added a couple of bugs to known issues - video corruption in live session boot and an intermittent fail to configure wifi07:40
elfyand thanks07:40
ochosiah good07:40
elfydid you look at the minimal install draft on xubuntu.org ? 07:42
ochosinot yet07:46
elfyok - we'll either need to edit the release announcement to remove the link or publish that - I don't mind which we do :)07:47
elfyoff to work later today and should be back mid afternoon in time to tie things up 07:47
ochosiok, i'll try to take a look until then07:48
elfyyea - no real rush tbh, we just need to do one or the other 07:49
ochosielfy: hm, that seems a bit ambiguous: After getting to the boot menu, select <em>Install</em> or for more customization select <em>Command-line install</em>07:50
ochosiespecially because you don't explain both cases in the description07:50
elfywhere are you reading that? 07:51
ochosiUnit193: over what timespan was the data collected? since we created the PPA?07:52
elfyochosi: nvm - got it - testcase hasn't caught up with what we're wanting, but no-one should be testing that yet anyway 07:52
ochosielfy: second list point in xubuntu minimal install07:52
ochosialso, it's a bit brief. the first paragraph should explain a bit more what's good about it, but that only experienced users might wanna do it07:53
elfysorry - I'm reading the <em> thing as testcase - yea - please remove that bit so it just points at Install 07:53
ochosiso only "After getting to the boot menu, select <em>Install</em>" ?07:54
elfyyep07:54
elfysigh 07:55
ochosiok, also adjusted the following bullet-point07:55
elfyyea - was going to say the next will be wrong too :p07:55
ochosithe last one is also a bit confusing07:55
ochosimaybe it's just the wording07:55
ochosi"if you don't get that window, after installing, run.."07:56
elfyprobably - I did just copy the wording from Unit193's core page07:56
ochosimeh07:56
elfyleave it for the moment 07:56
ochosiok07:56
elfyI'll fiddle with the pad now 07:56
ochosibluesabre: could you review this article pls and if you're ok with it just hit publish? http://xubuntu.org/?p=2656&preview=true07:57
elfyochosi: I'll do some detail for testing minimal in m/l early next - we can deal with the website page later07:58
ochosiok, sounds good to me!07:59
elfyyep - enough to do right now without an extra one :p07:59
ochosi:)08:00
ochosielfy: doing a real install btw08:08
ochosibut i'll do a vm install for the testcase later i think08:08
ochosibrb (hopefully)08:09
elfy:)08:09
elfyochosi: if you're doiing a real install that's preferable  for the test report - but if you manage to do a vm as well - that's even better08:13
ochosihmm, somehow usb creator messed it up i thin08:14
ochosik08:14
ochosiin the vm the image boots fine08:14
knomethat's wonky. i've never truly trusted it..08:14
ochosion the usb stick i get "not a COM32R image" or something08:14
elfyaah08:14
elfytab 08:15
ochosiguess there's no easy way of validating that the usb creator didn't mess things up other than trying to boot from the stick08:15
ochositab?08:15
elfyyea tab button - try then typing live08:15
elfyin unetbootin you'd want unetbootindefault08:15
elfyI've had that off and on08:15
ochosiok, i'll try that after the first VM run08:16
elfyI'd report it - but more than I'd like anything that's just a general *buntu issue gets ignored so I don't bother anymore08:17
ochosiright08:17
elfybug 132580108:18
ubottubug 1325801 in casper (Ubuntu) "failed to boot from USB disk with error: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R Image boot:" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/132580108:18
ochosiah, thanks08:19
elfyadded to my results and the pad08:19
ochosifrankly, i'm myself a bit surprised by how much goodness and features b1 contains08:23
ochosimost comes from upstream, but since bluesabre and i are quite active there, it's also a xubuntu achievement08:23
elfy:)08:23
ochosibest thing about QA, you can actually do something else while pretending to do something ("It's installing...")08:26
ochosiaka http://xkcd.com/303/08:26
elfyindeed :)08:27
elfyno sticker for you :p08:27
ochosiawwwh :D08:27
* ochosi remembers not to call the QA lead the king of slackers anymore08:27
elfy:|08:28
elfylol08:28
ochosiwell, i want them stickers!!!08:28
ochosi;)08:28
elfysent a note to list re com32 and possible graphic corruption just in case anyone else comes across them and doesn't look at the tracker first08:29
ochosielfy: hm, for auto-resize i need to have a second system installed in my vbox, right?08:30
elfyyea 08:30
ochosihumm08:30
ochosiok, that'll be the last one then08:30
elfyno08:31
elfyactually - what you need is a vm disk big enough to allow 2 installs08:31
elfyI make them 16Gb08:31
elfythen can do whole disk, resize and then manual on one of the resized 08:31
ochosiah, hmm08:32
ochositoo late for that08:32
elfycan't do whole disk on hardware here - would kill little one's win7 install lol 08:32
ochosi:)08:33
ochosibtw, anything i should add to the comments?08:33
ochosii see you added "hardware"08:33
ochosiis that a hardware profile you created for yourself?08:34
elfyI don't use hardware profiles 08:35
elfyI just try to differentiate between hardware and vm's is all08:35
ochosiah ok08:36
ochosiso i guess i put VM in the comments then08:36
knomewell, what are hardware profiles anyway.. websites.08:37
elfyknome: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware08:38
knomei know08:38
elfyif balloons doesn't bother with that - that's good enough for me :p08:38
knomethey are a website with specified output from a command08:38
elfyI guess - all seems rather pointless to me 08:39
knomewell if you could save your HW profiles *in the ISO tracker*, then select one from a dropdown, it would be much useful..08:39
knome*more*08:39
elfyI'd rather see other things fixed on the tracker than that ;)08:40
knomecurrently it's... well, i guess there can be some good to it08:40
knomeme too.08:40
elfywell - off to work for me - back mid afternoon I hope08:40
elfycya later08:40
knomethe arguments against some of the HW info gathering have been "who owns it, which server has the information", and now we've set up a community system that powers a somewhat closed community member server...08:41
knomewait, we're using something else now. hooray.08:42
knomebut still it's not centralized..08:42
ochosifrankly, 14.10 is looking great08:50
Unit193Me?  Bad wording?  Surprising!08:52
Unit193:P08:52
ochosibluesabre: i get a funny crash of xfsettingsd in the live session when enabling the 'configure new displays when connected' option btw08:59
ochosibluesabre: http://dpaste.com/3XWVF5X08:59
ochosii'll see whether that still applies in on a hw install09:00
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/EAo9SpSNXeScCSlpbfja/ might even get fr this cycle.10:05
ochosiget fr?10:09
knomefrench translation of the documentation10:09
ochosiright, but is there an increase or why might we get it this cycle?10:10
knomeincrease obviously10:10
ochosiLuyin: i see that the docs are fairly untranslated in german, in case you feel like taking a look ;)10:10
knomesame goes for silverlion @ -ot10:11
Luyinochosi: link?10:11
ochosiknome: link?10:11

ochosiwait, where's the gib.po ?10:13
knomeUnit193, any (other) readers for that one? :P10:13
Unit193Well, maybe, but not that use Xubuntu. :P10:13
knomeuh, i'm out of battery. see you!10:14
ochosittyl knome 10:14
Luyinochosi: I'll take a look at it tonight. at work atm ;)10:18
ochosiLuyin: sure, thanks! hf @work then ;)10:18
knomehm, who doesn't work on FOSS while at work? :P10:19
Unit193I'd bet money elfy doesn't.10:20
knomedoes advoacy count?10:22
knomeadvocacy too10:22
bluesabreochosi: re, that article, the title could use some work, but otherwise I think it is good10:55
bluesabreelfy: got a few tests in this morning10:56
ochosibluesabre: got any ideas up your sleeve?10:56
bluesabreschedule is tight this morning, so everything else that I promised I'd do this morning, I'll do tonight10:56
bluesabre"Laptop users, the black screen of death is fixed"?10:57

bluesabreThe nasty black screen bug is fixed in 14.04.1" doesn't jive with me10:57
ochosii like the exclamating "laptop users"10:57
bluesabre:)10:57
ochosiproblem is, some people are still experiencing some sort of black screen10:58
bluesabreI know10:58
ochosimaybe we should write10:58

elfythanks for doing them :)12:56
elfywe can wait a while longer - then mark them - you can do that if you want :)12:57

elfythen in the Admin bit - Status - in the dropdown - select mark as ready13:01

elfythen update build status13:01
ochosiok, did that13:02
elfymmm 13:02
ochosinot sure anything happened though13:02

ochosielfy: ok, so how do we go about creating the announcement / notes now?13:27
elfythe announcement is fleshed out on xubuntu.org - needs another set of eyes13:28
elfythe release note page is ^^ and just needs to have the pad content copied to it and fiddled with13:28
elfywe just need to wait now for stgraber - apart from checking things nothing we can really do for the moment13:29
ochosithe launchpad bugs on the announcement need links btw13:29
elfyok - I'll do those now13:29
ochosithanks13:30

elfyslickymasterWork: it's not all live yet16:08
ochosiyup, should16:08
slickymasterWorkoh, ok16:08
slickymasterWorkthought you guys already have published it16:08
elfyno - we've not published announcement, the download link's not real yet either16:09
elfyreleasing at 20:30UTC ish it seems18:32
brainwashyou can use menulibre to edit the entries which are displayed in the settings manager, right?20:39
elfybrainwash: yep20:40
brainwashwe got a dissatisfied customer here bug 136273420:40
ubottubug 1362734 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "settings manager contains entries (icons) that are obsolete and cannot be fixed or removed" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/136273420:40
brainwashhe also mentions the missing gksu20:40
elfyonly got one nvidia-settings here, pretty sure was the same in trusty20:41
brainwashshouldn't there be too? one for tasks which require root privileges?20:42
Unit193Nah.20:43
elfynvidia-settings calls for root rights if you ask it to amend xorg.conf20:43
elfyI've only ever seen one nvidia-settings 20:44
brainwashstrange, how did he end up with two launchers? =S20:44
Unit193Playing with launchers too much?20:44
brainwashbut he does not seem to have a clue at all20:45
elfydelete the useless one20:47
brainwashyea, I'll tell him about menulibre and then close the report (or tell him to reassign it do the nvidia driver package which installs the launchers in the first place)20:49
brainwashto the nvidia driver package20:49
elfyyep20:49
elfyUnit193: did you see ochosi's comments re minimal draft page earlier? "also, it's a bit brief. the first paragraph should explain a bit more what's good about it, but that only experienced users might wanna do it"20:53
Unit193Mhmm.20:55
elfyreleased now21:17
elfyochosi: not done the front page of xubuntu.org though21:18
elfynight all21:18
Unit193Also, should be ready to test core when I need to.21:18
Unit193G'night.21:18
elfyUnit193: I'll sort a call out for next week for that - then we can Done that trello card and blueprint21:19
ochosi(late) evening everyone21:33
ochosibluesabre: btw, the xfpm plugin (in git master anyway) now has the minimum brightness level for scrolling over it as well21:34
ochosiso you can't accidentally shut off your display anymore ;)21:34
ochosilderan: had to postpone your workitem for utopic btw since we're already past freeze21:41
lderanokay, sorry for not getting it complete in time21:42
ochosisure no worries21:43
ochosiit happens21:43
ochosiwould be good to keep us (i.e. either bluesabre or me) in the loop about these things21:43
lderanaye will do so in the future21:45
ochosithanks!21:46
ochosidid you produce anything testable though or just didn't have time to work on it at all?21:46
ochosi(just curious cause i'd really love to have that around next cycle)21:46
lderannothing yet :(21:48
ochosiah ok :)21:48
ochosijust wanted to avoid duplicate efforts, in case anyone else decides to hack on it21:48
lderanwill hopefully make some progress soon :)21:50
ochosicool, that'd be nice21:52
ochosishould be easier than with light-locker-settings even, less UI :)21:52
lderan\o/21:52
ochosi(and the underlying app is python, so should all integrate nicely)21:53
lderanhuzzah for python :P21:54
=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
brainwashbluesabre: please take a look at bug 131353922:41
ubottubug 1313539 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "monitor shows black screen and "no input signal" after turning the monitor off and on manually" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/131353922:41
brainwash"There is a regression bug between xfce4-settings 4.11.0-1ubuntu1 (saucy) and 4.11.2-1ubuntu2 (trusty)."22:41
brainwashdisplay/monitor related22:41
bluesabregah22:41
bluesabrewe didn't change how the monitor turns on or off, just added an apply button22:42
bluesabreactually22:42
bluesabrewe didn't change how monitors turn on or off, apply does not apply for that22:42
brainwashbut still.. the saucy package seems to work fine for these guys22:42
bluesabreI'll take a look22:43
brainwashthank you :)22:43
bluesabreok22:43
bluesabreso, the only other difference is two ubuntu versions22:44
bluesabreand Xorg, graphics drivers22:44
bluesabrelots of things at play here22:44
bluesabreoh right22:44
bluesabrelater comments22:44
brainwashyeye22:44
ochosiwhy doesn't ubottu post a buglink anymore22:44
ochosijust a description22:45
ochosibug #131353922:45

brainwashhe did22:45
ochosiawh crap, my terminal had partially moved offscreen :>22:45
lderan:P22:45
Unit193!gender22:46
ubottuyes, I can confirm I am a female bot :)22:46
bluesabre"This issue does not occurs on another computer (with nVidia gfx card+Dell U2713HM+DVI cable)"22:46
bluesabrethis sounds painful to debug22:47
ochosiseems a bit random22:47
ochosinot even sure how to reproduce that22:47
ochosiluckily the easy workaround is not to turn the monitor off manually :>22:48
ochosimaybe a bug with displayport?22:49
ochosii mean xorg + displayport22:49
brainwashmmh, but saucy package installed in trusty works fine22:49
ochosicause the other computer he mentions uses dvi22:49
brainwashaccording to the comments22:49
ochosiyeah, but from the scarce information we have, this seems to be the most promising lead22:50
ochosii for one haven't used a computer with displayport, so i guess that could be a reason why i've never seen it :>22:50
bluesabrehardware bugs are the worse, since we can't just go and reproduce22:50
brainwash:/22:50
bluesabre*worst22:51
brainwashat least we got some hints now22:51
ochosialso, note that the guy who said that 4.11.3 doesn't work for him isn't the OP22:51
brainwashright22:51
bluesabregood point22:51
brainwashbut he should be also affected by this bug I'd guess22:52
ochosiwell, if you could've learned anything from the black screen bug report it's that sometimes users comment on a bug because they *think* it's the same bug22:52
ochosibtw, it could be that the "new display"-listener causes that issue22:54
ochosithe one that pops up the minimal dialog22:55
brainwashasking them to run xfsettingsd in debug mode could help us22:56
bluesabreyeah22:57
bluesabrealso, proposing this:22:57
bluesabre@palomino @knnniggett22:57
meetingologybluesabre: Error: "palomino" is not a valid command.22:57
bluesabreHardware bugs are particularly difficult to diagnose since there is such a wide gamut of combinations.  Can you try loading the xubuntu 14.10 beta1 live cd (no need to install) and see if this issue persists?  xfce4-settings is built using the other xfce libraries, so you want to make sure you have the latest combinations... which the current beta provides.22:57
bluesabreIf the issue does persist, can you also try switching monitors and testing again on both?  If we can narrow down the hardware combination, that might help us find a lead.22:57
bluesabrethanks meetingology!22:57
ochosibtw, the mythbuntu bugreport is really loooong22:57
ochosii wonder why they never brought this to our attention22:58
ochosihttps://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/130810522:58
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1308105 in xfce4-settings "Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled" [Medium,Confirmed]22:58
bluesabreyeah22:58
brainwashoh... I've ignored that report all the time22:58
brainwashquite a few comments there22:59
bluesabreand while not optimal, it would be nice if they could test with not-xfce as well22:59
bluesabreoh wait, older xfce4-settings is not an issue, so nvm that22:59
brainwashso 1313539 is yet another dupe23:00
ochosiyeah, also on that other report, they say they tested with gnome-shell23:00
ochosiseems that this is the upstream report: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1110723:01
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 11107 in Xfsettingsd "xfsettingsd resets TV mode to NULL on power cycle" [Normal,New]23:01
ochosi(extremely recent btw)23:01
ochosiso yeah, the code that lionel added for reactivating the internal laptop display seems to be the cause of some of this headache23:01
ochosiat least that's my superficial diagnosis23:02
ochosialthough it should (note: should) only get that RandR signal of not having an active monitor connected only when unplugging the cable23:02
bluesabregood news is, this is not because of the latest 4.11.323:02
ochosibut unfortunately these hardware things work differently it seems23:03
bluesabre:)23:03
ochosiyeah23:03
ochosiso while it fixes a very annoying problem, there seems to be a regression around in it23:03
ochosialthough since it was a new feature at the time, it's not technically a regression23:03
brainwashso, we can mark the report as duplicate of the mythbuntu one?23:03
ochosibrainwash: not sure yet, i haven't tested or investigated anything, i'm just thinking out loud23:04
ochosibluesabre: the upstream bugreport also has the debug output btw23:04
bluesabreyeah23:04
brainwashwow, so this issue isn't that small after all23:05
ochosiwell, it only happens in a very specific scenario23:05
ochosiand only with hardware that sends a specific RandR signal when it shouldn't23:05
ochosi(or at least when we'd not expect it to)23:05
ochosianyway, time to go to sleep23:06
ochosinight everyone23:06
bluesabrenight ochosi23:06
brainwashgood night23:07
