elkyelfy: i get the feeling the bug i reported hasn't gone anywhere fast btw :P00:07
elfyelky: it's a bit edge case I guess00:07
elkyyeah00:08
elfyelky: *we* have had some odd ones lately - would be good to double check that if you can00:08
elfywith new image 00:08
elkywas considering it, yes00:08
elkymaybe over the weekend00:08
elfymmm00:09
elfyactually - know the bug #? 00:09
elfygah - another tracker bug00:10

elkyi brought it up in browser to check before i made a liar of myself :P00:11
elkybbiab00:11
elfyelky: yea - I wonder if that's the first appearance of bug 142569000:11
ubottubug 1425690 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "New windows are created offscreen" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/142569000:12
elfywhich is fixed 00:12
elfywould be good to mark that as a dupe :)00:12
elkyyay00:12
elkyi'll double check it beofre i do that ok00:12
elfyjust need to sync the image or grab a new one00:13
elkyand dig out the netbook again :300:13
elfy:)00:13
elkyanyway bbl00:14
elfyI got a nexus7 from the community fund - been fun playing with that and ubuntu00:14
elfyknome: really do need to stop the 'it's awesome" in the support channel :)00:27
knomelol00:29
elfyknome: did you look at the 'poll' at all? 00:29
elfytried to make it things that people could replace 00:29
elfyand not a list of 'all'00:30
knomenot after the first time i looked at it, no00:30
knomei've been lagging behind in FOSS work the last days00:30
elfyright - well not much different - if you're about over weekend I am, perhaps shout out if you want00:31
knomelikely not very much, but who knows... plans tend to change00:33
elfyok00:37
elfyan evening midweek works too - or almost has to :p00:37
knomeheh, yeah00:39
knomei should be able to look at stuff on mon/tue00:39
knomeor late sunday00:39
elfyknome: well I guess have a look then shout 00:39
knomeyep, i will :)00:39
elfypretty sure for this - there really isn't much choice of what and how 00:40
knomemidweek might very well work as well00:40
knomebut no promises yet00:40
knomei still have to polish the wallpaper00:40
knomeand the screenshot looks00:40
knomeand the feature stuff :)00:40
elfyyep 00:40
elfyand frankly - we can play with the poll content to day release 00:41
elfyas long as link is on slide *shrug*00:41
elfyso - content 00:41
knomehehe00:43
knomeyes00:43
knomei'm also thinking if it should be an url on xubuntu.org00:43
knomeso we can in the worst case change the content completely00:43
knomealso allows us to explains ourselves a bit more00:44
elfythat'd work for me 00:44
elfyI'd much prefer THAT to a g link for sure00:44
knomeyep00:44
knomeso let's do that00:44
elfyok00:44
knomei can set it up when i poke at the slideshow00:45
elfycan we import ? 00:45
elfyor build from scratch? 00:45
knomeimport what?00:45
elfymmmm00:45
Unit193Cookies?00:46
elfywhat do you actually mean? x.org page? or it just links? 00:46
knome:D00:46
knomei mean that let's put a xubuntu.org link in the slideshow00:46
elfyright - and the poll is where? 00:46
knomeeg. xubuntu.org/15-04-slideshow-poll00:46
knomewhich then links to the google poll00:46
knomebut i guess we could *at some point* set internal polling too00:47
knometo get the layout we want, for example00:47
elfyoh right and assume people click that00:47
knomebut no way that's happening for 15.04..00:47
elfymmmm00:47
knomewell, slim chance, but don't count on that :P00:47
knomei think it's ok to do the polls on google for now00:47
knomebut making it a xubuntu link makes it less fishy00:47
elfymmmm00:48
knomeat least we aren't directing people directly to google00:48
knomethey might not want to do that00:48
elfyI understand that point00:48
elfyon the other hand - that just gives people 2 points to drop out at00:48
elfyok00:48
knomeand the explanation page will then be completely in our control at all times (eg. not in the slideshow which needs an upload to fix...)00:48
knomewell *shrug*00:49
elfywe've got 2 groups of people00:49
knomeif people won't click two links, then they probably aren't interested in filling that biggish poll either00:49
elfy1 - old users, grabbing image - the poll really is for them anyway00:49
elfy1 - old users. not even looking00:50
knomei guess the *other* thing we could do00:50
elfy2 - new users, they can't answer yet - they can at month 500:50
knomeis not to have the specific slide in the slideshow00:50
knomebut link to it from the release announcement00:50
elfyso - basic link in slideshow00:50
knomei don't really know00:50
knomethe problem you just outlined is... problemativ00:51
knome*c00:51
elfythen regular pings to social stuff00:51
knomeyeah...00:51
knomethat worked pretty well last time00:51
elfysame poll00:51
knomeand avoids confusion00:51
knomeso, mm00:51
elfyif we can make it differentiate - maybe link from social is different00:51
knomecan be00:52
knomebut then if we do the social media stuff00:52
knomehow much good is the slideshow going to bring?00:52
elfyI like running the link in slideshow00:52
elfynew users WILL see it 00:52
knomeyeah, it's not a bad idea 00:52
knomebut then again it's not for new users00:52
knome:/00:52
elfythen maybe - oh., doesnt affect me - join social channels - see's bump00:53
elfyoh it does NOW00:53
knomeheh00:53
knomeyeah...00:53
knomebut if that's it, why don't we shout out about our social media channels in the slideshow?00:53
elfyI didn'ty use that - used foo and bar 00:53
knome(which is actually a nice idea...)00:53
elfyget a response00:53
knomethey should get that poll on upgrade :P00:54
elfyalways we're only going to get responses from people who do 00:54
elfyyep - if we can :)00:54
elfythey WOULD be people we want 00:54
knomewell we can't bind any poll to upgrade :P00:55
elfyI did change this, that, the other00:55
knomei guess the best thing to do is to get publicity to the poll just before upgrade time00:55
elfyis that WE or CAN'T :D00:55
elfyyea for sure :)00:55
knomeso to sum it up00:55
knomemy main "concern"/doubt is that we're showing a poll to X people00:56
elfyI just think that if nothing else we get data we can't analyse - but we DO have data :)00:56
knomehow many of those are actually people who are appropriate?00:56
knomeor should we change the poll in a way that made all replies appropriate?00:56
elfythat's one of y concerns00:56
knomemake them answer new/old user00:56
knomeor user since X00:57
elfyimpossible really - 2 different questions00:57
elfydid you change foo00:57
elfydo youy intend to change foo00:57
knomemhm00:57
knomebut00:57
knomewe can direct them at different form pages00:57
elfynot sure there is one00:57
elfybut... 00:57
elfyoooh00:57
elfygood point 00:57
knomeeg. if they pick "new user", we can point them to a page that asks "how good do you think the xubuntu default application selection is?"00:58
knomeor "do you think you will install new applications after installation?"00:58
elfyyea that would work 00:58
knomeor something like that00:58
knomeand if you are an old user, just give them the poll we have now00:58
elfyyea00:58
knomethat would solve the problem of some people not being the target00:59
elfybut new user - here is this poll - does kind of point at poll #300:59
elfyyou said you would - did you - did it work? 00:59
elfydid you go back?00:59
knomeright...00:59
knomethen we'd have to gather their email addresses (opt-in of course)01:00
knomeand it would require some more work01:00
elfynot sure if we're over egging the pudding here01:00
knometo compare the results01:00
knomewell, that would be nice, but it's a very long-term plan01:00
elfyI tink if we can get useful data  out of a cycle - we're on a plus01:01
elfyI like 2 polls 01:01
knomefortunately, if we set up the link like i proposed (via xubuntu.org), we can really postpone the "real" publishing date until the release day01:01
elfyyea ;)01:02
knomethe thing we need to do now is to create the placeholder page in the right place01:02
knomeand make sure the slideshow content makes sense01:02
knomeeg. it doesn't talk too much about the poll01:02
elfybasically we've got till release day to decide on the 2 polls01:02
knomewell it should be one poll01:03
knomewith a branch01:03
elfyno01:03
knomenope01:03
elfyyea01:03
knomefirst page asks new/old user01:03
knomeand then branches based on that01:03
knometwo polls is just overcomplicating01:03
knomeimo01:03
elfyyea - so *we* building 3 polls01:03
elfyfirst is new or old - then they point to the others01:04
knomeno... :D01:04
knomethe google poll system can branch inside the same poll01:04
elfyyes01:04
knomebased on the answer to a question01:04
knomeso one poll, but a landing page and two branches ;)01:04
elfynot sure I understand how you can make 1 question deal with the 3 alternatives01:05
knomelol01:05
knomewhat's the third alternative?01:05
knometrollface?01:06
elfyyea - used it01:06
elfyyea - used it - this is just a joke surely01:06
knome:P01:06
elfythis is just a joke surely - I used this 01:06
knomeyou are being too confusing :P01:07
elfyno I'm not01:07
knomewell it's probably not helping it's 3am...01:07
elfyyou're just assuming that people like gmb :D01:07
elfyhah01:07
knomeoh, you mean that part of the poll01:07
elfyso - another day to carry on then :)01:08
knomei was talking about the branching new and old users :D01:08
knomeyou were clearly talking about the poll we have laid out now01:08
knomeor am i still misunderstanding...01:08
elfysorry - there are 2 main branches to poll - Xubuntu is new/Xubuntu is old hat 01:09
knomeyep01:09
elfybeen a long day01:09
knomenow you make sense :D01:09
elfy:)01:10
elfyas you say - time is marching on, we've actually got a while to sort this out, just need the base link for slideshow01:11
knomeyep01:12
knomeand i'll sort that out once i start poking on the slideshow01:12
knomeand fwiw, current MP's are ok01:12
knomei'll manually figure them out01:12
elfyknome: ok - I think mine looks good word wise, just the link to sort 01:14
elfyI'd like a look at the complete mp once you're sorted too :)01:14
knomei'll probably merge it all, then push to the main branch01:15
knomeand then we can keep on fixing that as needed01:15
knomebut i'll see if i do a temporary push to a personal LP branch, can link that to you if i do01:15
elfyk01:16
knomeguess i'll also have to figure out who's going to do the upload, and when01:16
knomefor UI freeze01:16
knomeand same for strings01:17
Unit193cyphermox: Hey, since you were involved with the last console-setup merge, do you know why it does 'initramfs-tools (>= 0.85eubuntu12)' rather than 'initramfs-tools (>= 0.85eubuntu12) | linux-initramfs-tool'?06:43
brainvvashbluesabre, can you confirm https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324120 ? in xubuntu without KDE09:15

GridNetall translations that where pending are approved 12:08
bluesabreknome: what do you need me to upload, and when?12:09
krytarikGridNet: Lovely.12:09
bluesabreochosi: want to sync the icons and add the latest greybird patch?12:09
bluesabre(that last one was supposed to be "want me to add the latest greybird patch")12:10

ochosii'll see whether i can quickly fix up some more icons13:18
ochosiwhat i would love to look into is the symbolic-encode script13:22
ochosibut i'm not sure i'll manage that in time13:22
bluesabreochosi: just give me a ping when you're ready13:55
bluesabreneed to patch exo for precise today too13:56
bluesabreprobably one of the more annoying bugs we've had :)13:56
ochosiyeah, but you read that ff 36.0.1 re-introduced the -remote flag?13:57
bluesabrelol13:57
bluesabremissed that one13:57
ochosiobviously we weren't the only ones using that :)13:57
bluesabreoh, and since thunar 1.6.6 supports gtk3 bookmarks, maybe we want to add some to x-d-s for the common folders?13:59
ochosiyou mean migrate the xdg dirs?14:01
bluesabreyes14:01
ochositbh i've never dealt with xdg dirs, i thought this is something that is not part of our settings14:01
ochosibut some xdg script that generates those folders14:02
ochosi(but i might be wrong there)14:02
bluesabrenot sure14:02
bluesabreother DEs do have them in their bookmarks by default14:02
bluesabreso there should be a friendly way to accomplish it14:02
ochosii'd guess so14:04
ochosiatm the file controlling all that is in 14:05

bluesabrenow for the rebuilds of everything else14:13
elfythanks bluesabre :)14:30
cyphermoxUnit193: because the initramfs-tools Depends is an Ubuntu delta, and we don't really spend the time to support dracut18:29
cyphermoxUnit193: I suppose patches are welcome18:30
cyphermox(by that I mean, I'll happily sponsor patches if necessary) fwiw, I didn't do the core of the merge, it was done by slangasek. I was asked to do the testing and upload18:31
Unit193cyphermox: Right, saw that but figured you might know anywho.  I was planning on bugging the kernel team to fix the kernels depends because the kernels clearly work with dracut (tried it last night.)  I'd love it if we could at least get it installable this or next cycle, even if not supported.  (I was looking at Bug #1109029 again. :P )19:48
ubottubug 1109029 in linux (Ubuntu) "Depend on linux-initramfs-tools" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/110902919:48
knomebluesabre, i'll tell you when i've things prepared :)21:49
cyphermoxUnit193: fair enough22:23
Unit193(Newer console-setup was actually the only real thing that was pending.)22:23
cyphermoxjust let me know if you need things sponsored22:23
cyphermoxyeah, it may be part of the reason why it was merged22:24
cyphermoxie. initramfs22:24
Unit193Well, there'd be a lot of smaller changes, and likely a bigger one in plymouth.22:24
cyphermoxreally?22:25
cyphermoxhave you also looked at the comments from Adam and Dimitri? it's quite relevant that some of these maybe ought to be fixed in Debian and synced/merged back into Ubuntu22:26
Unit193Yes I did, and 'tis why I said plymouth *may* need changes.  The kernel doesn't as the initrd shouldn't have been bootable last night, and it had all the needed modules (I listed before rebooting.)  dracut is installable and usable in Debian as-is, it's "mainly" the alt dep missing for things.  I read the last comment, then looked at the Debian bug tracker if it was ever reported, it was and turns 22:30
Unit193out there is a real reason to conflict.  Also, thanks for being open to discussing the topic at all! :)22:30
Unit193http://paste.debian.net/hidden/a09961a4/ nice, all due to plymouth apart from /etc/system-release and /usr/share/pixmaps/system-logo-white.png \o/22:39
cyphermoxwell, the only reason you need an alt depend on console-setup is because we add the depends on initramfs-tools22:39
Unit193Right, and before it didn't have setupcon.22:40
cyphermoxit has had setupcon for a while now22:41
cyphermoxhm, looks like dracut will need changes to know plymouth is in a different location, not the other way around22:41
Unit193!find plymouth-populate-initrd vivid22:42
Unit193!find plymouth-populate-initrd unstable22:42
ubottuFound: W:, W:, W:22:42
Unit193Hah.22:42
ubottuFile plymouth-populate-initrd found in dracut, plymouth22:42
Unit193Anywho, I'll see if I can get a local package with plymouth working as well, then test in an encrypted lvm just to confirm there as well.22:43
knomebluesabre, ping-a-ling23:11
knomebluesabre, here's something you should look at: http://temp.knome.fi/temp/xubuntu/colorschemes/ (READMEs per directory)23:12
knomebluesabre, i can do MPs once we know where we want them; xubuntu-default-settings or xubuntu-artwork; or both23:12
knomebluesabre, and it looks like we're not touching mousepad default conf for xubuntu... we might want to start doing that.23:13
knomebluesabre, we also seem to be shipping a .Xdefaults file in x-d-s file, but it only seems to have xscreensaver options... we might want to drop that... and same with .xscreensaver23:16
knomeUnit193, since you might be involved with the packaging, see ^23:18
ochosihey knome 23:23
knomehey ochosi 23:23
ochosijust saw the colorschemes ping23:23
ochosiand yeah, i second that, let's fiddle with mousepad's config23:24
ochosie.g. set search mode to both by default23:24
ochosithat would also fix a bug23:24
knomeyep23:24
knomeand make sure the font is the same as in the terminal if it isn't already :)23:24
ochosiit doesn't use xfconf though, so we might need a gschema file23:24
ochosibluesabre will likely know how that works23:24
knomesure... i've stopped worrying about it now, it's passed on to other people :)23:25
ochosiwait23:27
ochosithat is actually wrong23:28
ochosiit seems like we'll be shipping mousepad 0.4.0 with gtk323:28
knomewell, have fun with that :)23:28
ochosiso the correct path would be gtksourceview-3.023:28
knomeaiui, 2.0 themes should work with both 2 and 323:28
knomebut, you should test it in vivid with the new mousepad installed..23:29
ochosiright23:30
ochosiwith 3.0 it definitely works in vivid with the new mousepad23:30
knomethis is exactly why i didn't jump into it and make aMP :)23:30
ochosithat's what i'm testing right now23:30
ochosinope, 2.0 doesn't work23:30
knomethen put to 3.023:30
knomethe conf file itself has the same syntax23:31
ochosinice work though, i like the bright theme a lot23:31
knomethanks, and glad that you like it23:31
knomei've been using the dark variant for a while now and it works at least for my purposes23:31
knomethe terminal schemes have basically the same colors plus some more23:32
knomethere the light variant is... a bit meh23:32
knomeat least with my irssi theme :)23:32
ochosiright23:32
knomebut it works fine enough with htop23:32
ochosii'll give that a try now23:32
knomei guess there's always things on terminals that aren't going to work with some setup23:32
ochosiyeah, i guess so23:34
ochosiwell also, irssi is a bit particular23:34
ochosisince it has its own colorschemes/themes23:34
knomeyep23:34
ochosiand making a terminal theme that works with any give irssi theme is just... impossible.23:34
knomethat's why i'm not worrying too much my very customised theme not working with it...23:34
knomeit actually would work if i switched black/white colors23:35
knomebut that's probably not expected23:35
knomeand other light themes do not do it either23:35
knomesoooo...23:35
ochosihumm23:35
knomehumm?23:35
ochosii guess i'm too used to solarized with irssi23:36
knomeheh23:36
ochosiother than that i guess it'd work well23:36
knomewith *your irssi theme*23:36
ochosiobviously :)23:36
knomebecause i'm sure my theme is completely different23:36
ochosibut maybe i'll keep this for a bit, just to tr23:36
ochosiy23:36
knomeyep23:36
knomemostly that it works with all terminal apps you use23:36
ochosiwhich arent many23:37
knomeyep23:37
knomei guess i use irssi, ls, htop23:37
knomesomething like that23:37
ochosivim23:37
knomenano23:37
knomebut that's like black and white by default i think23:37
ochosidepends on source highlighting23:37
knomeactually i don't think my nano does any highlighting23:38
knome:)23:38
