ochosiwell, he asked whether we had changed the wallpaper name (which we haven't) or the gsettings schema00:00
bluesabrenope, all the same00:00
bluesabrestill a symlink00:00
ochosiyup00:01
ochosiso i told him that both of us had looked into it without result00:01
ochosihope he'll come up with something00:02
ochosibut we'll better ping him about it on tuesday or something00:02
bluesabreok, sounds like a good idea00:02
ochosiother than that, i think we're heading pretty much straight for the release, nothing much left for now, or did i miss anything?00:06
bluesabreits smooth sailing from here00:07
ochosigood good00:07
ochosithen we can start planning the next cycle early00:07
bluesabreyup00:07
ochosii feel a lot less exhausted than after 14.0400:07
ochosimaybe start with a simple list and then translate that into blueprints/workitems or trello00:08
ochosithat is actually one more issue we should discuss at some point00:08
ochosi(trello and where to go with that)00:08
bluesabreindeed00:08
bluesabreI'm trying to get a headstart on the next menulibre, with a reset button for some of the dreadful bugs... and need to get my patches together for light-locker00:09
ochosiright, l-l 1.6 would be a good goal for 15.0400:10
ochosiand theoretically we can either integrate l-l-s with l-l or integrate l-l's settings with xfpm00:11
bluesabreyeah00:13
bluesabresome good goals so far00:13
ochosithen possibly continue reviewing our default apps set00:16
bluesabreif geary would add PGP support, I'd totally be pushing for that00:16
bluesabrethe current release is insanely stable and fast00:17
ochosiactually even without that, we could look into it00:17
ochosithen it might also make sense to look at alternatives for firefox00:17
ochosi(midori again?)00:17
bluesabreits pretty stable, just wondering when the gtk3+npapi build will be default00:18
ochosiyeah, we could ask around00:18
ochosias long as it's not lts, we could give that a trial run00:18
bluesabregotta be careful not to become xfce-elementary though00:19
bluesabre:)00:19
ochosihaha00:19
ochosiwell, do we?00:19
ochosifrankly, i don't mind. xubuntu resembled gnome2 pretty closely when i joined00:20
bluesabrethats true00:20
ochosiit's obvious that not every distro/desktop will have its unique set of apps00:20
ochosiand that's actually also quite good00:20
ochosithere is enough fragmentation as it is00:20
bluesabrethats true00:21
ochosialso, you can't easily customize elementary, while you can do that with xfce00:21
ochosi(or pantheon, if that is actually the name of their DE, never sure..)00:22
bluesabreyeah00:22
bluesabreI'm getting repetitive :)00:22
ochosihehe00:22
bluesabresay something I can disagree with00:22
bluesabre:D00:22
ochosithat's fine, as long as i can continue being right00:23
ochosiwe could look into fixing any outstanding greeter issues too btw00:23
bluesabreyup00:23
ochosioh, how serious were you about re-forking gnome-screensaver?00:23
bluesabredon't want to start the fork unless there is a serious need00:24
bluesabrewill there be a vt-switch free light-locker before the next lts?00:24
ochosirighty, well it would be good to put a lid on the resume issues before the next lts00:24
ochosithat is exactly the question00:24
ochosii haven't seen cavalier around a lot lately (or at all, to be truthful)00:24
ochosii know i won't have time to look into making ll emulate lightdm00:25
ochosiand actually, what originally made gnome-screensaver nice was that it worked with any display manager00:25
ochosibut yeah, the visual consistency is not as good as it gets like that00:25
bluesabreyeah, there's good and bad to each solution00:26
ochosi(although with gtk-greeter, we also use *one* gtk theme for all users)00:26
ochosii think we could probably patch using the current user's wallpaper into gnome-screensaver00:26
ochosiwith accountsservice00:26
bluesabreyeah, for sure00:26
ochosiand then make the layout resemble gtk-greeter00:27
ochosiin its default xubuntu setup00:27
ochosiand that would be enough for almost all users00:27
ochosi(except those that fiddle with the login screen)00:27
ochosias long as we don't ship greeter-settings, i don't see a big problem with that00:27
ochosiwe could most likely patch out all gnome depends00:28
ochosiand still keep stuff like fadeout00:28
ochosiwe might have to create a new/separate settings dialog00:28
ochosior integrate it with xfpm00:28
ochosiand we'd have to give it a new name and add support to xflock00:28
bluesabrehonestly, we could probably add a locker to the greeter code00:28
bluesabrelightdm-gtk-locker00:29
ochosiright, but why would that not do a vt switch?00:29
ochosii mean after all lightdm causes the vt switch, not the greeter, right?00:29
bluesabrewe just wouldn't vt-switch... we'd only use the same code for drawing the lock screen00:29
ochosioh00:29
bluesabresince the code is there to interpret the UI paremeters00:30
ochosirigh00:30
ochosit00:30
ochosiso integrate it in the same package/code00:30
ochosithat would work00:30
bluesabreyeah, thats an option00:30
ochosibut frankly, as the greeter code becomes more flexible and complex now, we'd have to add support for the various config options andrew added00:30
* ochosi is not a huge fan00:30
bluesabreyeah00:31
ochosiand lightdm-gtk-locker is a misleading name, since it doesnt have anything to do with lightdm anymore00:31
bluesabrelockscreens are a pain00:31
bluesabre:)00:31
ochosiyup00:31
bluesabreyou should also rename light-locker to lightdm-locker00:32
bluesabrethe non-lightdm users are around :)00:32
ochosii guess we could sneak out of most problems by calling that new gnome-screensaver fork xubuntu-locker00:32
ochosiso all users of other distros would get their bugs marked as invalid00:32
ochositrue that00:32
ochosii guess in a weekend we could whip up that new fork...00:33
ochosinot sure whether light-locker2.0 can be done so quickly00:33
bluesabreyeah00:37
bluesabrea weekend might be a bit of a stretch ;)00:37
pleia2I have a meeting to schedule, but it's been 32432 degrees at home lately so I shun my computer00:41
* pleia2 will get to it eventually00:41
ochosi:)00:41
ochosibluesabre: not sure, we can start out from where i had removed the gnome depends of gnome-screensaver00:42
ochosithe layout was already similar00:42
bluesabrepleia2: jealous... a friend of mine got married yesterday on a windy, 45F day00:42
bluesabrethen its 65F today00:43
bluesabreochosi: yeah, I guess you guys have already done most of the work00:43
ochosipretty much this: https://github.com/the-cavalry/light-locker/commit/3d7cf431c6db2f23fe424ef2f52512654e38d2cf00:43
pleia290F in my condo right now :\ san francisco octobers are the hottest time of year00:43
ochosiwow00:44
bluesabredang00:44
ochosihere it's already very autumy00:44
pleia2I stayed in a hotel last night :D00:44
ochosi(or autumny)00:44
ochosi(although that feels more difficult to pronounce)00:44
* pleia2 back to non-computery things00:44
ochosihf pleia2 00:44
ochosibluesabre: theoretically one could port the GnomeRR stuff to xrandr or something...00:49
ochosilots of potential to spend time still00:49
ochosianyway, now it's time to head to bed00:49
skellatbluesabre: Could LP Bug 1377717 wait until Victorious Velociraptor or do we want it in for Utopic Unicorn?00:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1377717 in xfce4-screenshooter (Ubuntu) "Sync xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.1-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/137771700:50
skellatI just spotted it in my overwatch e-mail folder and can't seem to grasp its urgency00:52
bluesabreskellat: it'd probably be fine for either really... but yeah, seems non-essential00:52
skellatSponsors are subscribed to it.  Do you want to leave remarks as XTL as to priority?00:53
bluesabreit's pretty low priority... Nosckaj, I can sync that you know00:55
bluesabrelet me know its urgency, and I can sync as early as tomorrow00:56
ochosinight everyone00:57
bluesabrenight ochosi00:57
Noskcajbluesabre, It's a very minor, low regression change. That was my reasoning for syncing it.01:09
Noskcajjust mark as invalid if you think it can wait01:09
ochosimorning everyone08:46
ochosipleia2: hey there, any idea yet for when you wanna schedule the next meeting?08:49
elfygood afternoon12:56
ochosihey elfy 13:00
ochosibluesabre: btw, the most recent geary version looks a bit odd with greybird (well, actually mostly the bottom buttonbar in the compose dialog). guess if we're checkin it out for default i have some work to do13:11
elfyanything happened to the black background bug at all?14:49
elfysigh ... so can anyone boot a 64bit vbox and confirm that it ends up at a black screen14:53
elfythen go to tty1 and run sudo service lightdm status and get start/waiting14:53
elfyand then go to tty7 and see the login dialogue ok now14:53
=== cyphermox_ is now known as cyphermox
elfydon't worry about confirming the lightdm status15:17
=== mhall119_ is now known as mhall119
pleia2so, thinking 20:00 on Tuesday the 14th for our next meeting17:56
pleia2after that week I'm away from home for a month, so things get tricky17:56
