ochosibrainwash: frankly, not sure *why* i should've read that comment, especially after what you commented on it (and instead of pinging me, you could've just replied...)00:47
brainwashochosi: you should have read it, because it's hilarious00:49
brainwashmaybe close the report for good?00:49
skellatbrainwash: I read some of these bug reports and get horrified when the comments are made.  That one from 2014-08-04 is worrisome.00:51
brainwashit is00:53
ochosii personally find the one from 2014-08-31 more worrisome00:54
skellatochosi: The person ended up treating the bug like a thread on AskUbuntu.00:55
skellatThat you had to go that far to tell the user what they could do with their EOL version...00:56
skellat...is above and beyond on customer service00:56
ochosiyeah, that's just a user who doesn't know better00:56
skellatReading the "xubuntu" tag on AskUbuntu gets freaky with all that people try to do to the distro00:57
brainwashI suggest that we create a wishlist report for "light-locking without vt switch" and link all corresponding reports to it00:57
skellatSuch as this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/516314/xubuntu-14-04-disable-desktop-and-panel00:57
skellatbrainwash: +100:58
ochosibrainwash: feel free to do that, and link it to the 2.0 milestone for ll on github00:58
brainwashsure00:58
skellatochosi: If bluesabre or anybody else from Team can knock that AU question linked above out I'd be most grateful00:59
ochosiskellat: kiosk mode is borked in xfce afaik01:00
ochosinobody has really looked after it for a while01:00
ochosii guess not enough people use it01:00
ochosior devs aren't interested enough in it as a use-case01:01
ochosinot much else that can be said there01:01
bluesabrequick, somebody throw some money at it on bountysource01:01
bluesabre:)01:01
skellatochosi: bluesabre does have a user account on AU so relate such to him so he can post the answer in his persona at XTL01:01
skellatplease01:01
ochosibluesabre: could do that actually :) not sure that'll magically make new contributors surface all of a sudden who implement it ;)01:02
bluesabreskellat: I'll review it and come up with a response tonight/tomorrow01:02
bluesabrethere is probably a way to disable right-click with xsession01:02
bluesabreI'll do some research01:03
brainwashbut we don't even know if it really is broken01:03
bluesabre" The public user account will be restrict to create folders on desktop or disable right click on desktop and disable right click on panel or disable adding new icons on panel."01:03
brainwashthe xfce kiosk mode settings01:03
bluesabresounds like killing right-click is what he really wants01:03
bluesabrecan probably also write-lock xfconf or something else01:04
bluesabreI'll poke around a bit01:04
skellatbluesabre: Thank you!01:04
skellatIf people want to patrol AU for the questions about Xubuntu, they're generally tagged here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/xubuntu?sort=newest&pageSize=5001:05
brainwashI don't do AU01:05
brainwashstill some work to do on launchpad =S01:06
Noskcajbrainwash, What do you have against australia?01:06
bluesabre:)01:06
ochosibluesabre: do *not* click on skellat's link, it'll eat all your free time! :D01:06
Noskcaj:)01:06
bluesabreochosi: free time? what's that?01:06
brainwashnothing, I like the mountains, great for skiing :P01:06
ochosi(my favorite is: "upgrade xubuntu 6.04 to more recent OS on ppc")01:07
brainwashjk01:07
skellatochosi: I cringe a lot looking at the questions01:07
* ochosi closes the tab and decides never to click on a link that starts with "askubuntu.com/" ever again01:07
* skellat wanders off to go check on his cat and go after a session of patrolling *A*sk *U*buntu01:08

bluesabre:]01:14
bluesabreor will this be updated with 1.4?01:14
ochosiyeah, but there's both a bugreport on lp on it and an entry in the roadmap to 1.4 (which has been there since the first 1.3 release, because i put it there...)01:14
bluesabrecool01:14
ochositoo many UI changes along the way to meaningfully start this01:14
* bluesabre un-nags01:14
ochosiand since it's online, there's no release-critical deadline01:15
bluesabreyeah01:15
ochosibut yeah, that page sucks and should go away in its entirety01:15
ochosiand be replaced by a forward to docs.xfce01:15
ochosi(like we did with parole)01:15
ochosianyway, time for bed01:16
ochosinight everyone01:16
Unit193Do we tuck him in?01:16
ochosi:>01:18
bluesabreskellat: answered a few questions while I was in there01:43
bluesabregoing to be lazy, bbl01:44
Unit193forestpiskie: And, that's one dang evil kernel you got there. :/01:49
Unit193Having to use Openbox Desktop 14.10 just to watch Doctor Who.01:49
Proffesorok, any focus on testing at the moment?04:11
Proffesoras in.. what should i be testing?04:11
Proffesortest04:13
=== Proffesor is now known as Madhead
Madheadok,04:14
NoskcajMadhead, A lot of people are asleep now.04:29
Noskcajincluding our head of QA (testing)04:29
NoskcajBut anything that's on iso.qa.ubuntu.com or packages.qa.ubuntu.com is good04:29
Madheadthats ok.. just wondered if anyone knew. 04:29
NoskcajWe also have a staging ppa at https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xubuntu-staging if you want to test the things in it04:30
Madheadok im on it.. ill start filling apports04:31
Noskcajcool04:33
NoskcajFor issues in the staging ppa, report the bugs upstream on in the channel as launchpad is only for stuff in the ubuntu archives04:33
Madheadso, prepare a word doc, and upload in the morning?04:34
Madheador better time04:34
NoskcajMadhead, COuld you introduce yourself to everyone on our mailing list? xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com04:40
Noskcajbluesabre, ping04:41
Madheadbump04:45
NoskcajCould you sync libxfce4util from unstable or experimental (either works, 4.11 seems to be bugfix only)04:45
NoskcajMadhead, What do you mean04:45
Madheadim here04:45
Madheadgot my vm ready just waiting on the daily iso04:46
Noskcajcool.04:46
Madheadi think the daily iso should be hosted on git04:47
Noskcajwhy?04:47
Madhead1 gig download every so often could be reduced to a patch04:47
Madheadof say a few kb04:47
NoskcajMadhead, been done, except with zsync or rsync04:47
Madheadthen again im not sure idf it does binaries04:47
Noskcaj!zsync04:47
ubottuUse zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage04:47
Noskcaj!!rsync04:48
ubottursync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync04:48
NoskcajOr you can use testdrive to automatically do that, and automatically make a VM04:48
Madheadthanks.. as you can tell im new here.. i suffer from boredom and insomnia.. soo i want to be productive04:48
Noskcaj:)04:48
Noskcajbluesabre, Also, should we try and revive the Xfce 4.12 PPA, or just switch to xubuntu-staging + a PPA for stuff that's stable but can't be backported04:49
Madheadon the subject of version controll, are previouse builds kept?04:51
NoskcajNo. Only todays, yesterdays, and all actually released things04:52
Madheadhmm, some binary diffs should be kept i think.. ask a uni to host it to use as case studies04:53
Madhead*university04:53
Madheadoh wait, going backwards from the latest build could be a pain04:54
Madheadmaybe the diffs could be generated using the previouse lts release iso as a master to compare with the daily..04:55
Madheadbigger patches 04:55
Madheadbut doable04:55
NoskcajMadhead, We do keep all packages, so there's not much point in keeping ISOs too04:56
Noskcajbut yeah, it would be possible, someone might even do it and i don't know04:56
Madheadbootnotes board..04:56
Madheaddo you guys have an office?04:56
Madheadok the iso is done04:57
Madheadnote - using i38604:57
Noskcajhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/315/builds/77292/testcases05:00
NoskcajThat's where you put the results, and link any bugs found05:00
Unit193Noskcaj: Why sync libxfce4util?  It gives no benefit as the stuff in the last upload brings it up to par with what we already have.  4.11 is more likely as it fixes more bugs, but then again past FF and that's a "big" version bump.05:09
knives2886hello is anyone around?05:15
Unit193Not for long, though.  It's night where a lot of us are.05:22
pleia2and I don't know anything about msi am2 apus ;)05:23
Unit193If that's the question, a big no from me too. :P05:23
knives2886oi05:25
knives2886i dont wanna risk the update if im gonna have to lose all my data. iv tried 5 times with no luck on my computer even trying the fixes out there failed for me05:26
Unit193Live boot?05:27
knives2886live or update it locks up after boot screen05:28
knives2886idk if the 14.01.1 is a fix for the msi apu users or not or even if the 14.10 has the fixes. i mean i guess i can try installing to a pos hdd just to try it out but idk if its even worth the effort05:30
Madheadmugshot is incomplete... i facepalmed as i typed in the wrong password twice.05:38
Madheadwhich is a feature of my password making skills05:39
Madheaderm.. other than that its really nice in a virtual machine05:39
Madheadwheres the main logs folder?05:40
Madheadfor booting and kernel stuff.. dry reading but05:40
Madheadand parole streamed buck bunny no problem as an mp4 using no nonefree codecs05:40
Madheada full report will be done soon05:41
NoskcajUnit193, why not? There's no real risk of regression, and any sort of fix (even a typo fix) is nice to have before release05:45
Madheadsee you soon05:46

brainwashwhat do you mean?09:06
elfyonly files I've got here are called com.ubuntu.pkexec.blah09:06
elfythought they were changing to xfce09:06

brainwashour temporary one "com.ubuntu.pkexec.mousepad.policy"09:08
brainwashgreat, thanks09:08
elfybrainwash: not sure why you bothere adding upstream to a fixed LP one - I removed upstream from the mousepad one yesterday09:24
brainwashwell, it helps to keep track of things09:24
elfynot sure how - who's going to look at a fixed bug ;)09:25
brainwashwe will have to remove our policy files (xubu default settings) at some point09:25
brainwashso, I also wanted to add "thunar (ubuntu)"09:25
brainwashwhich would leave the report open09:25
brainwashnormal xfce does not install xubu default settings09:25
elfyanyway - I've lost interest in pkexec now - only wish I could stop seeing the bug reports 09:25

Unit193bluesabre: checking for lxpanel >= 0.5.6... 0.6.219:38
bluesabreUnit193: ...?20:00
bluesabrenow I'm really confused20:00
* bluesabre clears away build files20:01
Unit193bluesabre: You need libmenu-cache-dev, mate.20:05
bluesabreoh20:06
* bluesabre wasn't aware20:06
Unit193lxpanel-dev depends on it, yeah.20:06
bluesabre>.<20:07
bluesabreok, I'll try that now20:07
Unit193It's a weird area, -dev depends on it but since it's in the 'lxpanel' package there is no dep. 0.7.0 doesn't even add one.20:09
bluesabreyay, it built20:18
bluesabreUnit193: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxpanel/plugins/ sound right?20:19
bluesabreUnit193: comments/suggestions: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8200064/20:24
bluesabrebesides updated d/changelog more20:25
bluesabre*updating20:25
Unit193lxpanel installs to multiarch dirs too, so yeah.  Will that dep cause issues on upgrading, by pulling in xfce4-panel if 0.7.0 is installed/updated before?  Otherwise looks fine.20:31
Unit193Also, you override lxpanel dep, does it actually add one?20:31
bluesabreUnit193: dunno, I thought that it might, suppose I shouldn't assume :)21:08
bluesabrenot sure about the upgrade issues21:08

ochosibluesabre: lordy, appdata adds a huge translations overhead22:29
Unit193For little gain. :P22:32
