ochosihey slickymasterWork 08:42
ochosiwhat up?08:42
slickymasterWorkmorning ochosi 08:42
slickymasterWorkcan you check something for me really quick?08:42
slickymasterWorkif the rss feed url in http://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=xfpm-docs:bugs is the correct one08:43
knomethat doesn't look like an rss feed url :)08:43
knomeoh, something in that08:43
* knome hides08:44
slickymasterWorkI mean the one in the "Open Bugreports" section knome 08:44
slickymasterWorkand good morning to you 08:44
ochosislickymasterWork: yes, that looks correct08:45
slickymasterWorkok, thanks ochosi 08:45
ochosislickymasterWork: give me a sec, i'll rename a page...08:45
slickymasterWorkdkessel, SkippersBoss, thanks for stepping in and helping with the german and the dutch translations of the documentation. It's appreciated08:46
ochosislickymasterWork: ok, the page has been moved now08:48
ochosiand i've listed it here now: http://smdavis.us/doku/doku.php?id=start08:48
ochosiso ppl can easily find it08:48
ochosi(now you can actually navigate back and forth between the xfpm pages)08:49
slickymasterWorkso knome, the menulibre strings were already uploaded by bluesabre if I understood it correctly08:49
slickymasterWorkyeah ochosi, saw that08:49
knomeslickymasterWork, doesn't look like translatable yet :)08:52
slickymasterWorkhaven´t checked it yet knome 08:56
slickymasterWorkand following your lead, won«t check it now08:56
ochosislickymasterWork: if you need help or guidance wrt xfpm docs lemme know09:00
slickymasterWorkdon't doubt that I will ochosi09:00
ochosijust as a note09:00
ochosithe getting started section will almost go away09:00
slickymasterWorkthing is that I'll have to do most of it at home. Don't have any laptops over here at work :P09:00
ochosionly a few cli options will remain i thikn09:01
ochosisure :)09:01
ochosibasically we need one screenshot per tab for the settings dialog09:01
ochosiideally if you have a device that shows up in xfpm, that'd be good for the screenshot09:01
ochosiif not, i can do that part09:01
slickymasterWorkyou're going to have to do it for sure, I don't have one09:01
slickymasterWorkochosi: perhaps the Getting Started section should be renamed then09:02
ochosinah, it's fine09:03
ochosiactually i just copied over the part that we might still want from the old docs09:03
slickymasterWorkok09:03
ochosiso you don't have to worry about that page anymore09:04
ochosii'll ask eric whether he wants anything else there09:04
slickymasterWorkyeaps :)09:04
slickymasterWorktwo down, three to go09:04
ochosithe FAQ is also done for now09:08
ochosidon't worry about that09:08
ochosiso basically the plugin and the settings dialog and that's it09:08
* slickymasterWork think that it's great when ochosi takes the xub -docs responsibility under his wing 09:11
knomehah09:12
knomeochosi, what about the german docs translation? ;)09:12
slickymasterWorkyeah, since you're at it09:12
slickymasterWorkI'm hoping that dkessel will surprise us knome09:13
knomeheh09:13
knomemaybe..09:13
slickymasterWorkon the german translation09:13
ochosiknome: my day also only has 24hrs09:13
ochosiknome: what about the wallpaper? ;)09:13
slickymasterWorkwell, at least the call did rise some interest 09:13
ochosislickymasterWork: i'm trying, but can only help so much. need to fix more bugs in xfpm probably...09:13
knomeochosi, my day only has 24 hours... ;)09:14
slickymasterWorkyeah ochosi you could make a deal with knome. You promise to get the german translation done by the time he has the wallpaper done09:14
knomelately, most of the time i have seems to go to trying to catch several hosting providers who simply DO NOT REPLY09:14
ochosislickymasterWork: hah, well i'm afraid that that'll be a bad deal for me :D how many strings are there?09:15
knomeochosi, like 800+...09:15
ochosiriiiiight...09:15
ochosi:)09:15
knomeyeah, but 1920x1200 is a lot of pixels!09:16
* ochosi knows that knome doesn't draw with pixels09:16
knomehow do you know that? ;>09:16
knomemaybe i changed the style for this one after you called my mouse a cat!09:16
ochosihaha09:16
Unit193s/cat/bunny/09:17
* slickymasterWork almost pulled that one09:17
slickymasterWorkhey Unit193 09:17
knomeochosi, is it better that it looks like a cow?09:18
slickymasterWorko/09:18
ochosiknome: possibly :)09:18
knomehah09:18
dkesselknome i hope i will be able to do the german translation - the part i am wondering about is whether it will get reviewed in time...09:18
slickymasterWorkhmm a former XPL and the actual XPL flooding the channel09:19
knomewell, we're building the community :P09:19
ochosihehe09:20
ochosidkessel: i can help a bit with reviewing09:20
slickymasterWorkdkessel: why don't you apply to the german translators team in LP?09:20
knomeochosi, added meeting to calendar09:20
slickymasterWorkthat way you'd be able to translate in reviewer mode09:21
ochosiknome: ta09:21
dkesselslickymasterWork: i did yesterday ;)09:21
ochosiok, gotta take off for a bit, bbl09:21
slickymasterWorkgreat, lets hope that you'll have an answer fast enough09:22
slickymasterWorkhave fun ochosi 09:22

bluesabreanything I can help with this morning?09:23
ochosithat so many of you are here now gives me hope for next week's meeting :)09:23
slickymasterWorkmorning SkippersBoss 09:24
SkippersBossochosi, think again. /me just on a day off09:25
bluesabreslickymasterWork, knome: new menulibre strings should be in the archive now09:25
SkippersBossdoing some translating 09:25
* slickymasterWork checks09:25
bluesabremenulibre (2.0.5-1ubuntu1)09:25
slickymasterWorkbluesabre: still seeing the old strings09:27
* bluesabre updates vm09:27
Unit193Also, RSVP'ing to not be at the meeting.09:30
ochosibluesabre: you pinged me last night, anything specific?09:32
ochosi(also, thanks for updating your dokuwiki)09:32
ochosi(looks very cleaned up and useful now)09:32
bluesabreochosi: re, no workspace switcher and no drag windows, do we still want multiple workspaces?09:33
bluesabrethanks, I thought that theme was significantly nicer09:33
slickymasterWork+1 bluesabre 09:33
bluesabreI might do a bit of work for some of the other CSS in there eventually09:33

Unit193You have to share your pot with LP.09:40
slickymasterWorkyes09:41
brainwashseeing the "use startup notifcation" option in the screenshot of menulibre makes me wonder.. did anyone notice that a busy cursor is now shown when some slow app like libreoffice or firefox is launching?09:43
brainwash(utopic)09:43
bluesabrebrainwash: your patch was rolled into the latest greeter09:43
bluesabre:)09:43
brainwashyeah, but does it actually work for anyone else?09:44
brainwashit did for me (months ago)09:44
ochosibluesabre: i guess we could try to reduce them to 1 for 14.10 since we provide no easy way (apart from the desktop middle-click menu and some kb-shortcuts) to switch between workspaces. and then see whether there's feedback about that at all...09:44
knomeochosi, was scroll on desktop disabled by default?09:45
ochosiknome: yup, should be09:45
knomemhm09:45
ochosithat was the most disruptive option anyway09:45
brainwashhaving 1+ workspaces is a nice linux thingy, I'm pretty sure that people will complain about it09:45
brainwash^ talking about the default configuration09:46
Unit193Thought we saw one already.09:46
knomei think argumenting with "is a nice linux thingy" is bollocks09:47
knomealso, "i'm pretty sure..." is nonsense09:47
brainwashmeh09:47
ochosii agree with knome there09:49
knomei don't mind disagreeing with other people, but i'd like to see some valid/not-nonsense arguments09:49
dkesseltbh i disabled multiplace workspaces on every xp -> xubuntu migration i did since april...09:49
brainwashis there any need to remove the 2nd workspace?09:49
knomeunless it can be well proven that doing thing X generates negative feedback (like we know adding an amazon search by default to catfish would), it's not a valid argument to say "i'm pretty sure.." or similar09:50
knomebrainwash, if a user for any reason ended up in another workspace, and didn't understand what happened, it's very confusing.09:50
ochosii already said why actually...09:51
knomenow THAT'S a fair/valid argument imo09:51
dkesselif switching workspaces generated some kind of graphical feedback for novice users, i would say keep it... but the way it is... ;)09:51
bluesabreooh, amazon search in catfish...09:51
ochosidkessel: there's a patch for that. maybe i'll fix it up and we can ship it in xubuntu if upstream doesn't want it09:51
brainwashyeah, we did remove the workspaces switcher in the panel by default09:51
brainwashthe "visual feedback"09:51
bluesabreknome, slickymasterWork: figured out the issue, forgot to update the translation template09:52
knomeeven a notification that the workspace is switched would be suboptimal... if you don't understand the term workspace, or don't know how to get back to the original one09:52
ochosi(although i'd first have to find the patch)09:52
bluesabreit will probably hit launchpad in ~1 hour09:52
slickymasterWorkbluesabre: ta09:52
knomebluesabre, poor launchpad09:52
bluesabrelaunchpad says : <timeout>09:53
slickymasterWorklol, that's usual bluesabre 09:54
knometbh, to me it sounds like a bad idea to maintain more code (and potentially/probably carry a delta) to make a portion of users happy, instead of just dropping to one workspace and let those who want more, enable them themselves09:54
* knome wonders what the "unusual bluesabre" is then09:54
* bluesabre thinks its bluesabre at a party09:55
knomea political party?09:55
* slickymasterWork was thinking if knome wouldn't say anything :P09:56
bluesabrein america, every party is political09:56
knomehah09:59
knomei hope at least every political party is..10:00
ochosiok, gotta take off now, hf everyone!10:00
brainwashknome: if a user accidentally switched workspaces and gets confused, wouldn't that also be an argument for re-adding the workspace switcher back to the panel?10:04
knomebrainwash, what if they don't understand what the workspace switcher is for, or do not acknowledge that it has something to do with the issue?10:05
knomebringing the workspace switcher back doesn't completely fix the (potential) issue10:08
brainwashbut why is this a new problem in 2014?10:08
Unit193Who knows.10:08
knomeit isn't, but we don't have enough manpower to consider every little detail for each release.10:08
brainwashthe concept of the workspace switcher10:08
knomebrainwash, can you try to be a bit more constructive?10:09
knomebrainwash, please argument why you think it would be better to have the workspaces than not.10:09
brainwashI'm trying to rescue the other workspaces, but I'm dong a bad job apparently :(10:09
knomewhy would the regular user want 1+ workspaces?10:09
SkippersBosseuh10:09
knomewhat's the benefit of keeping 1+ workspaces?10:10
SkippersBossGuys, not to put oil on fire here, but I l;ike the multiple work spaces10:10
brainwashdo we have any data about this?10:10
knomedata?10:10
brainwashwhat the user wants/needs?10:10
SkippersBossPersonal preference I agree10:10
knomebrainwash, of course not.10:10
knomethis discussion is leading nowhere...10:11
SkippersBossbut that's what it is personal preference. Is the majority of the users aware of the multiple workspaces and do they care10:11
SkippersBossNope10:11
bluesabreits not possible to design for personal preference10:11
knomethere are arguments for dropping the additional workspaces.10:12
bluesabre(btw, package pushed, dropped additional workspaces)10:12
knomethere aren't arguments for keeping the additional workspaces, except "i like them", or "i think most users like them", which aren't substantial 10:12
bluesabreshould be available in the dailies tomorrow, so we'll get feedback from all the awesome testing we get10:12
knomebluesabre, cheers.10:13
SkippersBossArgument is personal preference for the users. Some users like to use them others couldnot be bothered10:13
SkippersBossFirst thing i setup in a new installation is the work spaces10:14
knomeright, so you do it anyway10:14
knomeeven if we had 2 by defauly10:14
SkippersBossYep10:14
knomeso, you know how to do it anyway10:14
bluesabreanyway, we have time to change this back... since there was no visual indicator they existed, we can add or drop basically throughout the cycle, unless we talk about it in the docs10:14
SkippersBossAs long as I can put it in after10:14
SkippersBossI am not bothered 10:14
knomeSkippersBoss, of course, nobody is talking about dropping the feature for good, just a default setting10:15
SkippersBossAnd I think the majority of users restore this feature when needed10:15
SkippersBossI think 1 workspace would be ok as the default setting10:15
SkippersBossmakes life simple10:16
knomebrainwash, if you have an argument for keeping the workspaces/adding them back, i'd be happy to hear them10:16
brainwashI got no valid ones :/10:16
SkippersBossthat done then10:16
Unit1931. It's a feature that allows a user to categorize running applications.  2. Can be used for higher productivity.  3. An indicator features like this are useful would be Firefox getting a feature just like this.  4. Another plus, they now have different wallpaper per workspace now.10:17
Unit193And I don't care now, things are changed and it's pretty clear they aren't going back, so no point.10:18
brainwashbut we are talking about the default config only10:18
bluesabreand its subject to change per discussion :)10:20
SkippersBossUnit193, What Knome is saying that the people who are using this feature will set it up themselves. They do anyway.10:20
brainwashif a user doesn't know about workspace, then he'll just miss a feature10:20
SkippersBossAt least I do10:20
brainwashworkspaces10:20
bluesabreor wonder where their windows went10:20
Unit193SkippersBoss: I read that, and people that want firefox could install that, we could remove that as well.10:20
SkippersBossbut if only 1 workspace is selected by default windows stay put10:21
brainwashso the discussion continues...10:21
knomeUnit193, i agree the feature is useful, but jumping into another workspace by accident is meh10:21
brainwashthe current situation is similar for firefox with a hidden tab bar, the user might accidentally open/switch to a new tab and get confused10:23
bluesabreI'd suggest we review the default config leading up to the meeting next week and start a discussion on it... there might be some settings we want to further tweak or revert, and we can get all the details together for then10:23
bluesabresince we can't get everyone together for one meeting, I'd suggest starting a [TEAM] thread on the ML :)10:24
knomebluesabre, that, plus please add the issue to the meeting agenda10:25
bluesabreyup, doing so now10:25
knomebluesabre, except that the tab bar is/becomes visible by default when you open a new tab, so there is clear visual reference to both the old and new tab10:26
knomebrainwash, ^10:26
brainwashah I see10:26
slickymasterWorkochosi: as I'm on it, I'm going to add the rest of the command-line options to the Getting Started section10:27

elfyand I shouldn't really count the QA lead nor XPL - which makes it even more depressing12:18
Unit193I normally slap bluesabre in the head when things break, not so much report them as bugs for more paperwork (and as such, no tracker report as I'm "using", not "testing", but I'm working on it...)12:18

slickymasterWorkochosi: ping15:18
slickymasterWorkI think I came across a potential bug in xfpm 1.3.215:20
slickymasterWorkin the 'System tab' when change the value of the 'Put system to sleep when...' slider, its label is unable to properly output the respective value 15:21
slickymasterWorksee these: http://imagebin.org/318613 and http://imagebin.org/31861415:22
slickymasterWorkdo you think that a bug should be raised, both in LP and upstream?15:22
slickymasterWorkoh and another thing ochosi, in order for a user be able to change the values in the 'System tab', xfce4-power-manager has to be started with elevated privileges, so we're might facing the need for yet one more pkexec policy file 15:31
slickymasterWorks/might/might be15:31
slickymasterWorkdarn connection16:29
elfylol16:30
elfyslickymasterWork: you sure about priveleges for xfpm? it starts fine from terminal and the menu entry doesn't appear to use any elevated privileges16:32
slickymasterWorkin my box if I open it normally all the objects in the 'System' tab are disabled16:34
elfydefinitely something up with the label though 16:34
slickymasterWorkthe only way to access, and use, them is starting with elevated privileges 16:34
elfyI've got mine saying 4 houNever :)16:34
slickymasterWorkyeah, it starts to overlap, when you move the slider down16:35
elfyyea - works fine if you make the dialogue bigger 16:35
elfyslickymasterWork: you done a bug for it?16:35
elfyif not I'll do one now16:36
slickymasterWorkno, still waiting on ochosi pov16:36
slickymasterWorkdo you think we should go ahead and file it?16:36
elfyfiling it now - needs to be trackable 16:36
slickymasterWorkdo you want me do the one upstream'16:37
