bluesabreelfy/forestpiskie : wasn't me that requested a respin00:38
Unit193bluesabre: Pretty sure he'd stab you if you did. :D01:09
bluesabreheh01:54
PwnnaIs anyone experiencing this issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/138274105:12
ubottuUbuntu bug 1382741 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "Some apps are displaying a very old styled theme as oppose to greybird" [Undecided,New]05:12
Pwnnait looks like problem is with qt apps05:22
knomeso... final image testing10:22
knomeelfy, do we still have the two bugs?10:22
knomeouch, apparently we do10:23
elfyyep10:23
elfywell - we have one10:23
knomewoot, we have a LOT of tests done10:23
knomelike, a lot...10:24
elfylots of flavours have one too10:24
knomeyep10:24
elfyand frankly I can't really get myself worked up about either10:24
knomehave you tried the workaround that bluesabre recommended in the bug?10:24
elfyyea - didn't work for me10:25
knomeas long as the virtualbox bug is in the release notes, people who run to it should be run to it10:25
knomeokay10:25
elfyyea - release notes will do for the vb one for sure10:25
knomecan you drop that line in the bug comments as well10:25
knomeso others outside the team/elfy+bluesabre know that isn't working as well :)10:26
knome(especially if we're seeking for help from xnox or so)10:26
elfyand while the other doesn't look very nice - it's not the end of the world10:26
knomeyes10:26
knomeit's better to have a black background than a debian/ubuntu one10:26
knomebecause that would be an obvious bug10:26
elfyindeed :D10:26
knomethis one is just... really, a minorish one10:27
knomethough the bug importance should probably be something else than low10:27
knomeis it cheating if i mark it high?10:27
elfynope - I'd not call it cheating :p10:28
knomei'm thiking medium is pretty much spot on, but i'm sure that doesn't help us get it fixed10:28
knomeok, it's now high10:28
elfyright - that's all the upgrade tests I'll be doing in hardware10:29
knomemhm10:29
elfyin fact that's all the testing I'll be doing until there's a respin or VV 10:33
knome:)10:33
elfynot sure who akxwi-dave is - but whoever it is does a LOT of testing for us10:49
knome:)10:51
elfyanyone else see torrent files default app as Archive Manager? 12:58
elfyon right click of the torrent - properties shows transmission 12:58
bluesabreelfy: it sounds like your mimetype associations have been seriously messed up lately13:42
=== hobgoblin is now known as elfy
elfybluesabre: yea - I am just not sure how or when it occurred - Unit193's seen similar issues13:56
elfyI guess as long as it's not a general issue I'm not going to bother with bugs 13:59
bluesabreI wonder if I should make a basic listener so we can see when these things happen14:11
bluesabrechoose what files to watch, send notification when they are modified14:12
elfywell I'd love to have something like that - I get this screensaver change by the piskies when I'm not looking as well too :D14:12
bluesabreI might crank that out while we wait for v to open up14:12
elfywould be super useful I think for the likes of me running it for a whole cycle14:13
elfybluesabre: what's the shortcut to resize a window - someone with trackpad sensitivity issues and old hands - so the alt +right click + drag is14:15
elfynvm - alt+rightclick+drag is doing the job14:17
bluesabreyeah, would love for somebody to hack the compositor to give a bigger grab region14:19
elfyI'll do it when I learn how :p14:19
elfydon't wait though ... 14:19
bluesabreyay a sacrifice14:19
bluesabres/sacrifice/volunteer14:20
elfylol14:20
elfyyou do know that all coding is voodoo in my mind :)14:20
bluesabreyup14:20
bluesabrecompositors are a scary area for me14:20
elfyha ha 14:20
elfyimagine how it is for me :D14:20
bluesabreso, I thought they had fixed the vbox black screen issues at one point, or was that only lightdm not starting?14:24
elfybluesabre: noooooooooooooo - don't mention vbox :p14:26
bluesabrehaha14:26
elfyit seems that one gets fixed and leads to another one :)14:26
bluesabreI know a few weeks ago they were talking about importance, and said vbox wasn't as important as kvm... do many people actually use kvm/qemu/libvirt ?  I've always found the performance lacking14:28
elfyI've no idea tbh14:28
bluesabreok14:28
elfyI think that it's more likely that Joe the User will use vbox than kvm or qemu14:29
bluesabreyeah14:29
* bluesabre continues image testing14:29
elfyI've done what I can - create bugs with it - let the QA manager know - and kept letting him know 14:29
bluesabrecool14:30
elfyhe's seen it - whether -release get their knickers in a twist over it who knows - but at least now it is just vt1 -> vt7 and it works - no starting or stopping services14:30
elfyas knome says - as long as it's on our release notes if it's still there on Thursday - which I guess it will be14:31
elfytalking of which14:32
elfy!team 14:32
ubottubluesabre, elfy, jjfrv8, knome, lderan, micahg, Noskcaj, ochosi, pleia2, skellat, slickymaster, Unit19314:32
elfyhttp://pad.ubuntu.com/FinalReleaseNotes for us14:32
bluesabrethanks14:32
bluesabrewas going to start drafting a full changelog, might as well do it there14:33
elfycool14:33
elfyrelease team job really - not seen the other third of us for a while now 14:34
brainwash_bluesabre: will you fix the black background installer glitch? if the current method to set the background does not work anymore, then we should switch to something which actually works (feh or whatever)16:20
elfyor not worry about it 16:20
bluesabreit's a pretty minor issue, and very low chance that a fix I provide will land in time for release16:20
brainwash_so, should we even mention it in the final release notes?16:21
elfyyes16:21
bluesabreits still an issue, regardless16:21
brainwash_it does not break anything16:21
bluesabrebut not a critical issue16:22
bluesabrealso, nobody has been able to verify my workaround, so there's that16:23
brainwash_it will obviously work with feh, or not?16:24
brainwash_didn't ubiquity even utilize feh at one point?16:25
bluesabremodifying the ubiquity code, and including feh worked for me16:25
bluesabrebut I think the issue is minor enough to leave be for now.  We can fix it for 15.0416:26
brainwash_I think so too16:27
bluesabreInstead, we should focus more effort on the image testing16:27
brainwash_the black background even fits somehow, 14.10 is an "experimental" release after all16:27
brainwash_oh... what about xfdesktop in trusty?16:29
brainwash_sadly not yet uploaded to -proposed16:30
bluesabreyeah, need to poke sru team again, they've been a bit unresponsive to my requests lately16:31
bluesabrethe growing number of menulibre-2.0.3 bugs are killing me16:32
chatrhi16:40
chatrwhat's the application that manages WIFI hotspot selection in Xubuntu?16:40
elfybluesabre: had another go with feh - worked 16:40
elfystill though not that concerned if we release with black background - we could just say it's by design :p16:41
