elfyhi ochosi 08:25
elfybroken nvidia here with the combination of nouveau being like molasses and I'm in trusty for a while :p08:28
ochosithat's sorta what it's there for :)08:33
ochosiso nouveau is broken for you?08:33
elfydog slow - changing workspaces - I end up with everything on one untill it sorts itself out08:35
elfythough it could be something else - I've not got the patience today to find out - all I can say is that a clean install acts the same way :p08:36
ochosiright08:39
ochosiand nvidia doesn't really work either?08:39
elfynope 08:39
ochosi:/08:39
elfyinstall nvidia - it uses nouveau08:39
ochosithat's odd08:40
elfyyep08:40
ochositried to create xorg.conf with the nvidia settings dialog yet?08:40
elfythere is an issue - I've seen chatter about it 08:40
elfyno - but pretty sure it's not going to work - nvidia broke with yesterday's kernel update for some08:40
ochosiright, let's hope it'll get sorted until the release08:42
elfyI'm sure it will :)08:42
elfymight try one of the other nvidia options later - was using the -updates one08:44

brainwashelfy: did you forward bug 1358361 upstream?08:47
ubottubug 1358361 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar needs a pkexec policy" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/135836108:47
elfybrainwash: no, ochosi and I talked about that at the time - I did do mousepad - which got a confused "what am I supposed to do with this" comment so I really forgot about doing the same for thunar ;)08:48
elfymakes sense really - pkexec should be a distro thing logically08:49
elfywe might need it - does anyone else?08:50
brainwashI guess so, shouldn't hurt to ship the policy file, so every distro gets it08:50
elfythe other thing I guess is that while *we* forwarded the LP bug upstream - mousepad probably wasn't the place to do it08:53
brainwashso, a mailing list discussion is needed here08:53
elfyand I've no idea *where* it should be reported08:53
elfybrainwash: sorry - I'm not going to get involved in any pkexec discussion - I use gksu - and will continue to do so untill it's not available08:54
elfynot shipping gksu with a suitable replacement for however long we did was short-sighted at best08:54
brainwashand I don't use any apps which would require gksu or pkexec :)08:54
brainwashmaybe should reassign the 2 bug reports to xubu default settings then?08:55
brainwashand keep things downstream08:55
elfyI'd guess so08:56
elfyagreed - and done08:57
brainwashthanks08:57
elfyno idea what to do with the upstream bug xfce 1108808:58
ubottuxfce bug 11088 in General "Pkexec policy needed for OS using pkexec" [Normal,New] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108808:58
elfyprobably needs to be marked invalid or something08:58
elfythey've both been released I believe 08:59
brainwashleave it open, maybe it will start a discussion on how to include/install the policy file08:59
elfythe two LP bugs are all sorted now, right package and marked as released09:02

brainwashon-line help09:04
brainwashthat's the xfce wiki page, right?09:05
elfythat'll be right 09:05
elfyyea - so I think I'd be right in assuming that none of that has been updated for the new version09:05
brainwashI remember that someone worked on the wiki page for xfdesktop 4.1109:06
brainwashslickymaster?09:06
elfywould have been at least him - possibly jjfrv8 too09:06
Noskcajbluesabre, Can you please sync libxfce4util?09:06
elfybrainwash: and whoever else got corralled into help with it :)09:07
brainwashelfy: should we link the report the right 14.10 blueprint?09:09
elfyyea09:09
brainwashelfy: xubuntu-u-docs?09:12
elfyI'd say so 09:12
Noskcajbluesabre, Corsac removed the delta in an upload about 30 min ago09:12
brainwashbut it's actually the xfce wiki page09:12
brainwashso upstream work09:12
elfyalso will need adding to trello09:12
elfybrainwash: yes - but we still need to track it09:12
brainwashright09:13
elfywe can always unlink it - better to at least have it visible 09:13
brainwashyea :)09:13
elfydone trello09:14
elfyok - added a todo to -docs as well09:15
elfybrainwash: so - mailing list discussion - did you mean xfce mailing list? 09:25
ochosicommented on the xfpm docs bug09:25
brainwashyes, it should be discussed upstream09:25
brainwashochosi: ah, makes sense, 1.3 is just a dev release and things will change slightly09:26
ochosiwell, not anymore i hope09:27
ochosibut if you compare the 1.3 releases, the settings dialog always looked a tad different09:27
ochosi(and it might change again after 1.4)09:27
ochosii'm happy to coordinate ppl, if anyone wants to help with that09:28
brainwashI was thinking that the person responsible for the awesome xfdesktop 4.11 wiki page could be interested in doing the same for xfpm09:29
ochosiright, that was jjfrv8 and slickymaster (and me a bit)09:30
elfyjjfrv8 is away and busy afaik lately, if we need help and I can I will09:33
elfyshame that Toz doesn't get involved more here - he spends most of his time on the forum chasing down xubuntu issues 09:39
ochositrue09:40
ochosielfy: well you could always try to motivate him...09:42
ochosii'm not on the forums anymore, so i never get in touch with him09:43
elfyhe comes here most weekends ;)09:43

Unit193http://git.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui/log/ unreleased at least.  Filed incorrectly?  Since we start policykit auth agent, it seems that works for now.11:07
brainwashwe don't ship any "pkexec <app>" .desktop files either11:15

bluesabreochosi: re: Better default values in xfpm, any suggestions?11:22
ochosi_bluesabre: hmyeah, maybe like this11:23
ochosi_on battery: blank: 10, dpms sleep: 15, dpms off: 3011:23
ochosi_on ac: blank: 15, dpms sleep: 20, dpms off: 6011:23
bluesabrealrighty, that sounds reasonable11:24
ochosi_might also end up setting those times upstream11:28
ochosi_but it might be a good idea to carry that in x-d-s anyway11:28
=== Punna is now known as Pwnna
brainwashwhy different values for dpms sleep and off?11:30
brainwashhaving 3 steps is somewhat confusing11:31
brainwashblank -> sleep -> off11:31
bluesabreI think its because of monitor power states11:33
bluesabreon, black -> sleep -> off11:33
brainwashStandby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 60011:36
brainwashthere is also suspend (dpms)11:36
brainwashnow it's getting really confusing11:37
brainwashor is suspend = sleep?11:37
brainwashoh right11:37
ochosi_off takes longer than suspend for coming back/waking up11:38
ochosi_and uses less power11:38
=== ochosi_ is now known as ochosi
brainwashand standby does what?11:39
ochosistandby and suspend are two different modes that also have slightly different power-usages and wakeup-times11:39
ochosimight differ depending on hardware11:39
ochosiin xfpm we only offer one "sleep mode"11:39
ochosithat can be configured via a hidden option11:40
ochosisince yet another slider or combobox would be kinda over the top11:40
ochosidefault is suspend iirc11:40
brainwashyea, keep it simple11:40
bluesabreochosi: found another setting that we were missing for suspend-locking11:40
bluesabrecomplete diff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8187072/11:40
* bluesabre should alphabetize11:41
ochosibluesabre: right, possible that this wasn't explicitely needed, since we set that in xfce4-session, no?11:41
ochosi(and xfpm syncs with session)11:41
ochosianyway, the rest looks nice! thanks!11:41

elfybusy busy busy you lot :)11:59
elfyquick question ochosi - why is it that everyone gets the battery icon now?11:59
ochosibluesabre: yup12:00
ochosielfy: because it is a plugin, not a trayicon that can be shown/hidden conditionally12:00
bluesabreelfy: should be a lightning bolt for desktop folks12:00
bluesabreor, I thought so12:01
ochosibluesabre: not anymore ;)12:01
elfybluesabre: possibly12:01
ochosiit's a plug now12:01
ochosianyway, the thing is that it shows more stuff, like connected devices12:01
bluesabreochosi messes with me12:01
ochosibluesabre: no way, i showed the icon to you before pushing it!12:01
elfymmm - not really answering why - just what :p12:01
bluesabreoh right, *that* icon12:02
bluesabre:D12:02
ochosielfy: i did answer your question12:02
ochosi14:00  ochosi$ elfy: because it is a plugin, not a trayicon that can be shown/hidden conditionally12:03
ochosithat's the simple reason12:03
elfyok - so why was it added - regardless of whether it's a plugin or trayicon ;)12:03
elfywasn't there before in desktop12:03
bluesabreright12:04
elfynot that it's important - just something else I remove 12:04
ochosiwell as i said...12:04
ochosiit's a plugin12:04
bluesabrelol12:04
ochosiyou cannot add/remove it conditionally12:04
elfyoic - so desktop HAS to have it because it might be useful in laptop ?12:05
ochosiyup12:05
elfyokey doke - thanks :)12:05
ochosiwe can only put it there or not put it there (for everyone)12:05
bluesabreits not just for laptop power though12:05
ochosiand since it's important for laptops and by far not useless for desktops...12:06
bluesabreit shows wireless mice charge, has presentation mdoe, etc12:06
ochosiyup, what he ^ says :)12:06
elfyyep noticed the pointless presentation mode for elfy :p12:06
bluesabre:)12:07
elfybut I agree we'd not be wanting to NOT have it for laptops :)12:07
bluesabreactually, that might be handy for vnc users as well12:07

Unit193fr.po   71.8978%  getting close!15:39
brainwashsomeone does not like to uninstall re-installed packages on every release upgrade17:28
brainwashbug 131415317:28
ubottubug 1314153 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "XUbuntu reinstalls all default packages on release update" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/131415317:28
brainwashbut what can we actually do resolve this?17:29
brainwashdo we even want to -> invalid?17:29
Unit193Here's a useful hint, right before you do an upgrade,  sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install xubuntu-desktop.  You'll at least get a little less (or a lot) than before.  I had thought about this before, but only tried it on the last two upgrades and am happier with the result.17:30
brainwashso, no actual bug here17:30
Unit193There will be a bug in the future, but I don't want to try and address it now. :P17:31
brainwashit's the expected behavior to pull in recommended packages17:31
Unit193Yep.17:31
Unit193I'd comment mentioning --no-install-recommends, but that's not really a bug.17:31
brainwashand the user is free to disable recommends in apt (config)17:31
brainwashalright17:31
Unit193Mhmm, but also not recommended.17:31
brainwashno?17:32
Unit193No, can cause issues.  Lubuntu did that by default, it caused issues there.17:32
brainwashmaybe, but this particular user does not like to have those packages on his system17:33
Unit193The problem will be when someone installs using mini.iso and then the Xubuntu-core task, then on upgrade gets xubuntu-desktop. :P17:33
brainwashoh mmh17:34
ochosi:)17:34
Unit193I think I'm going to regret mentioning that.17:34
ochosinot a huge problem though, i mean folks using xubuntu-core are supposed to be semi-experts at least anyway17:34
Unit193ochosi: Yeah, but I believe if xubuntu-artwork, xubuntu-default-settings, and xfwm4 are installed, you get xubuntu-desktop on upgrade...17:39
ochosiyou mean if all of them or one of them is installed?17:40
Unit193All.17:40
ochosiright17:40
* ochosi shrugs17:40
Unit193So, do we want to fix this?  It would include talking to :other people:.17:40
ochosiwell, how can it be fixed?17:40
ochosi(if it can be, i guess we should)17:41
brainwashtell us :D17:41
ochosiyeah, but come on, it's not *actual* talking17:41
Unit193Change the priority in DistUpgrade.cfg so that if those and xubuntu-core is installed, it gets us xubuntu-core.17:41
Unit193The concept of upgrades with -core isn't fun. :P17:44
Unit193KeyDependencies: Dependencies that are considered "key" dependencies of the meta-pkg to detect if it was installed but later removed by the user17:45
Unit193But I don't see a good, simple fix to this either.17:50
ochosihmm17:50
ochosiwell i'm no expert on this, so you better to to someone "who knows"17:50
ochosis/to to/talk to/17:50
Unit193Hence, telking to creepers, mhmm.17:52
ochosibluesabre: since we disabled all workspace features in xfwm4 by default, i guess we should disable the "wrap workspaces when reaching the screen edge" too18:05
ochosibluesabre: from what i saw in 14.10 "with a dragged window" is still activated18:05
ochosibluesabre: the other thing in x-d-s is adding a keyboard shortcut for whiskermenu (super+space)18:05
elfyochosi: what's the matter with ctrl+esc 18:08
elfywhich is what it is atm18:08
ochosielfy: just an additional shortcut that mirrors what many other DEs have18:16
