bluesabreI'm thinking it might be a good idea to incorporate the patch at the end of this bug in vivid/PPAs, https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1145001:11
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 11450 in core "Thunar 1.64, 1.65, & 1.66 crash when moving files" [Critical,Resolved: fixed]01:11
Unit193I snagged the exo patch. :P01:19
ochosi(late) evening folks01:21
bluesabrehey ochosi01:21
bluesabreUnit193: which one?01:21
ochosibluesabre: how's it goin?01:41
bluesabreochosi: not too bad01:42
bluesabrepackaging that fix for thunar, and then will probably do some uploads01:43
ochosiis there a working fix already?01:43
ochosii skipped the backlog about that the last few days01:43
ochosiit seemed to go rambling on and on and on...01:44
bluesabresome confirmed a fix that was applied today01:44
bluesabreand then emailed me directly to get it fixed in ubuntu :P01:44
bluesabreso I'm going to do some testing on it01:44
ochosiheh ok01:45
ochosithat is some user initiative there01:45
bluesabreindeed :D01:45
bluesabreand now we're in bug-hunting/fixing mode for vivid, so that's going to be fun01:46
ochosiso vivid bugfixing is your main focus atm?01:49
bluesabredon't really have a main focus, if anything, its been hard to focus the past few days01:49
ochosi:)01:50
ochosime neither, was too busy with RL work01:50
bluesabremaybe I'll test the gtk3 exo, see if I can package it one way or another, and do a 0.11 release01:50
ochosiwould like to work on some ports for xfce again01:50
bluesabrealso need to figure out the xfce_spawn_on_screen issue in exo 0.10.401:51
ochosieric ported garcon01:51
bluesabrenice01:51
bluesabrexfce-dev has been so active I have not been able to keep up01:52
ochosithe screenshot in the roadmap isn't the most recent though01:52
ochosithe padding has been fixed01:52
ochosigarcon was really a comparably easy port01:52
Unit193bluesabre: Unable to focus, need glasses?01:52
knomeah ah01:53
ochosianyway, gotta hit the sack01:53
knomeochosi, which one?01:53
knomeah ah!01:53
bluesabreUnit193: :P01:53
ochosican't focus anymore and my glasses don't help anymore01:53
ochosiknome: yours obviously01:53
ochosinight all!01:53
knomeouch01:53
bluesabrenight ochosi01:53
bluesabrewelllllp, not fixed, or new bug on https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1145002:13
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 11450 in core "Thunar 1.64, 1.65, & 1.66 crash when moving files" [Critical,Resolved: fixed]02:13
elfyso - did anyone actually bother with a release note ?07:08
elfyxfpm crashing apparently - not reportable, ppa's ... 07:14
ochosimorning elfy 07:24
elfymorning ochosi 07:25
ochosino, i dropped the ball there a bit i guess07:25
ochosisomehow you had such a good grip on the release notes so far that they weren't really on my radar07:25
elfyknome and bluesabre were looking at it07:26
ochosiis there a pad?07:27
elfyochosi: the draft is at xorg 07:27
* ochosi looks07:28
elfyI put in the basics and linked to the wiki notes yesterday 07:28
ochosiwasn't there another known issue?07:28
elfyjust needs the nice writing written :)07:28
ochosii think sean said something about a freeze of ubiquity at the end07:29
elfythere's an OEM issue 07:29
elfyyea - that's really the same issue 07:29
ochosiplus he said we have icons on the desktop in the ubiquity-only session07:29
ochosiah ok07:29
elfyyea - I saw those but didsn't actually take much notice of that :(07:29
ochosiright, that we have to fix07:30
ochosii mean specifically we07:30
elfyyep07:30
ochosistill wondering whether we should use something other than xfdesktop to draw that background...07:30
elfyochosi: doesn't seem to be a bug for that - I'll do one now - what to report against? 07:34
ochosinot sure, maybe xubuntu-default-settings07:35
ochosior -meta07:35
elfyok - don't suppose it matters much as it'll be internal anyway 07:35
Unit193Can't we just pretend it isn't happening? :(07:35
elfywell if bluesabre hadn't said anything it was going in one eye and out the other here :p07:36
Unit193\o/07:36
Unit193Next time someone gets a chance, open a terminal there and dump the env to a pastebin?07:37
elfywe know now though ... /o\ 07:37
elfybooting it now Unit193 07:37
Unit193(Someone = me if it's not done by the weekend and I remember it.)07:37
ochosii don't remember how we created specific settings for xfdesktop just for the ubiquity only session07:38
ochosiwith xfwm4 it was easy, just a startup command to disable the compositor07:38
Unit193Did we ever?07:42
elfybug 143718007:42
ubottubug 1437180 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Desktop Icons show on the install only desktop" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143718007:42
ochosiUnit193: dunno, i'm wondering though why the icons didn't show up from the start07:45
Unit193ochosi: xfdesktop4 4.11 vs 4.12?07:45
ochosihm, not sure there was any change in that department07:47
ochosithen again i wouldn't notice, i don't use icons on the desktop ever07:48
ochosielfy: updated the draft a little07:48
elfyok07:48
ochosido we have more known issues or stuff we need to add there?07:48
elfythere are a couple still kicking about - but the one we need to note is the eject/reboot issue07:49
elfyI was expecting trumpets and fanfares on the xorg post re 3.12 :p07:49
elfys/4.1207:50
ochosiyeah, could do a separate post, not sure the release announcement is the best place for fanfares07:51
ochosibut feel free to extend what i've written there up to now, i'm a bit tired so maybe not in the fanfare-mood for that reason07:52
elfyI'm not *that* worried 07:52
ochosialso, the current double-reference to the known issue is a bit confusing07:52
ochosiand maybe we should move the link to detailed notes at the very bottom07:52
elfyI thought you were too tired :)07:56
elfyochosi: ok - I removed the double reference - left it at the top as a warning08:03
elfychanged known issues to just be link to the wiki - which makes sense I guess08:03
ochosiuhm now there's another more obvious duplication08:05
ochosior are you still working on the pageß08:05
ochosi?08:05
elfynope 08:05
ochosihighlights and issues...08:06
ochosialso "Please note the important install known issue *below* " doesn't make any sense anymore08:06
elfydone08:08
ochosii removed that linebreak in the bugreport reference08:10
ochosior was that intended?08:10
elfyno intended line breaks - I can only just see the screen at the moment :)08:10
ochosiok, i think i'm ok with it as it is now08:11
elfyokey doke 08:11
ochosimaybe we should give either bluesabre or knome a chance to take a look and sign off08:11
elfyochosi: works for me 08:11
ochosicause i wasn't kidding when i said that i'm actually too tired for this sort of work08:11
elfyochosi: I would have carried on 08:12
ochosiokeydokey08:12
ochosigo ahead then08:12
elfyI'll play a bit more - then leave it for the other 2 - as long as we publish sometime today 08:13
elfymaybe even add a 'don't install from it if you don't want to hard install, install b1 and dist-upgrade instead"08:14
elfyanyway -- have a good day ochosi :)08:14
ochosiyeah, sounds like sane advice08:18
ochosialrighty, bbabl08:18
bluesabregood morning10:45
bluesabreflexiondotorg: Can you check out https://code.launchpad.net/~kalgasnik/lightdm-gtk-greeter/post-2.0.0/+merge/251694 and see if it resolves the white screen issue without the specific monitor configuration?10:58
ochosimorning bluesabre 11:01
ochosiyeah, i agree that it's mostly bugfix, which is why i commented11:01
ochosiit's quite big and seems to be a single commit11:01
ochosiwhich makes it extremely hard to review11:01
bluesabresome fixes can be huge, but this is also 4 different fixes, so it'd be expected to take up some space11:02
bluesabreand this is C, where nothing is small and tidy11:03
ochosii know11:03
ochosijust saying, throwing >1 bugfix in one commit is not ideal11:03
bluesabreah, gotcha11:03
ochosibut as long as this fixes things, i'm fine11:04
ochosiwasn't sure why he named the branch like he did though11:04
ochosi(other than the commit being big)11:04
bluesabreyeah11:05
bluesabreI'm going to review the branch tonight and give it some testing11:05
bluesabrethose fixes are certainly welcome :)11:05
elfybluesabre: did you look at x.org beta2 post? 12:51
knomei didn't even if i promised12:52
knomeis it published or does it need love now?12:52
elfynot published - and you might want to give it some love12:55
knomeok, i'll look at it12:56
knomeis the release out?12:56
knomeeg. can i push it out when it's ready12:56
elfyyea - about 12 hours ago12:56
elfyyea - publish when ready12:56
knomeok12:57
flexiondotorgbluesabre, Been in a meeting. Looking now.13:39
flexiondotorgbluesabre, That is a significant patch. Give me a bit...13:46
flexiondotorgbluesabre, Do you want me to test this or review the code?13:46
slickymasterkrytarik, you haven't made any MP yet, have you?14:55
slickymasterregarding the translators credits?14:55
krytarikNope, was waiting for your response on any of that first - though I *did* think about just blankedly doing some. :P14:57
slickymasterplease go ahead14:57
* krytarik looks back at the list14:57
* slickymaster checks krytarik url14:59
slickymasterkrytarik, we're still under http://www.cellrabta.pk/xubuntu/docs/unmerged-changes.html proposals, right?15:01
krytarikYep.15:01
krytarikslickymaster: Please let me know what else of those you think is desirable and managable right now.15:02
slickymasterthat's a lot of items15:02
krytarikYeah, I had a bit of time. :P15:02
slickymastereven though some would be doable in a single MP15:03
slickymastermy suggestion would just that krytarik 15:03
slickymasterthose who could be gathered into a single MP 15:04
slickymasterwould be the ones we could deal with, now15:04
slickymasterand leave the rest for the next cycle15:04
slickymasterwhat do you think?15:04
krytarikWell, *everyone* of those could :P - but some are dependent on other stuff.15:04
krytarikThe ones having sub-bullets, specifically.15:05
slickymasterthat last item seems to be the most sensible one, in terms of a possible negative impact15:07
krytarikThat is, right now it's more like a complete package, with only the ones marked with an [i] being able to be independently applied - so I'd indeed prefer not having to pull all those apart, however for traceabilities' sake...15:10
krytarik*traceability's15:10
krytarikslickymaster: Yeah, on that one, every language's translators would have to get those through the translation system once again - without doing any actual translation.15:13
krytarikHowever, I'd really like to fix that up too.15:14
slickymasteryeah, but we're 23 days away from release, so I'd prefer to play on the safe side and leave that one to thew W cycle15:15
slickymasters/thew/the15:16
krytarikWell, if it's not 'translated', it'll just look the same. :P15:16
krytarikHowever, that affects the translation percentage, of course.15:17
slickymasterhm hm15:17
krytarikAlso, DSF and all...15:17
krytarikAnd then there is the x-d-s stumbling block, of course.15:18
krytarik(Regarding the other one.)15:19
slickymasterso the way I see it, we have two possibilities, either we go with a MP, just with the [i] items15:20
slickymasteror we go with a MP with everything with the exception of the last item15:20
krytarikslickymaster: The x-d-s change would still have to be decided on then though.15:23
krytarikFor me to go in one direction or another reg. it, that is.15:25
slickymasteryeah, indeed, and that does implies bluesabre and/or ochosi and/or Unit193 2 cents15:25
krytarikYep.15:25
ochosiwhat cents?15:27
slickymasterhey ochosi 15:27
krytarikEuro, of course. :P15:27
ochosihey, whazzup? :)15:28
slickymastersee what krytarik and I have been discussing15:28
slickymaster^^^15:28
slickymasterkrytarik, I would say that a MP with the first three [i] items would be the best approach now, since we're so late in the cycle15:29
krytarikslickymaster: Like I indicated, I can always roll back some of the changes on the individual parts, if separate MPs are needed, or some of the changes aren't wanted/applyable yet.15:31
slickymasterbut there's no need/point on doing things and then rolling back, if it can be avoided15:32
krytarikWell, I have the current state reflected by all the involved files, but that doesn't mean I can't pull out any individual changes if needed - always had that in mind.15:34
krytarikThat is, I'd rather do *that* instead of dropping most of the currently applyable changes for now.15:35
slickymasterthat makes sense15:35
krytarikThat is to say, just the [i] ones don't quite cut it for me.15:35
krytarikOr the first ones of those, rather.15:36
slickymasterI get that15:37
ochosislickymaster: i read a bit of the backlog, but i'm not sure where you want/need my cents..?15:37
slickymasterregarding the x-d-s change15:37
krytarikslickymaster: And particularly the very first item, appearance of cross references, I'd like to at least have approved by knome too.15:38
slickymasteryes, I'm sure that we'll jump in as soon as he'll see the backlog15:39
krytarikochosi: And maybe the breaking of strings not actually to translate too.15:40
krytarikochosi: The options there are: a) Change x-d-s; b) Add a symlink in the docs package; c) Only add a 'website' target and leave the rest as is.15:46
krytarikObviously, I'd prefer to do it proper. :)15:46
krytarik* properly15:47
ochosisorry, you still lost me there, what change in x-d-s exactly? what are you referring to? symlink in the docs package to what?15:48
krytarikThe file path in the Help .desktop file would have to changed.15:48
ochosiright why's that?15:49
krytarikIt's currently pointing to the 'about' subdirectory, and would then need to point at the root directory.15:49
ochosiah15:49
slickymasterexactly 15:50
ochosiso instead of exo-open --launch WebBrowser /usr/share/xubuntu-docs/about/xubuntu-index.html15:50
ochosiexo-open --launch WebBrowser /usr/share/xubuntu-docs/index.html ?15:50
krytarikYep.15:50
ochosisounds like an easy change, so what's the question again? :)15:51
krytariklol15:51
ochosiyou want me to just change that or would you expect any drawbacks..?15:51
krytarikOnly if someone is eager to do that. :P15:51
slickymasterany changes in x-d-s has to go by you15:51
slickymasteror bluesabre an/ord Unit193 15:52
ochosithis seems like a very sensible and easy change15:52
slickymasteryes15:52
ochosiso yeah, not sure what a symlink would help15:52
krytarikochosi: Well, I'm happy if it's not needed, of course. :P15:54
krytarikHowever, I actually tested that - not the coolest thing on Earth, of course. :D15:54
sorinelloHello, can someone point me on how to clone the git repo/submodule containing thunar ?15:55
ochosisorinello: git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar15:55
sorinelloI see that thunar appears in more $TYPE's15:55
ochosikrytarik, slickymaster: for simple changes like these the most efficient way is to just tell one of us "hey, change this and that in x-d-s" or even submitting a MR for that would be fine15:56
sorinellothanks ochosi 15:56
ochosisorinello: yw15:56
sorinelloochosi, any particular reason why xfce source are not on github ?15:57
sorinellohow come xfce hasn't migrated to github15:57
ochosisorinello: there's a github mirror, but it's not used for development15:57
ochosithere seemed no need to migrate15:57
krytarikochosi: Yeah, we haven't really had a chance to chat about all that till now - so I left that as an option.15:57
ochosiwe're happy with our servers15:57
sorinellookay, thanks for the info, I just want to poke a little bit in the sources of thunar15:58
slickymasterok ochosi, consider yourself as 'told' about it, then ;)15:59
ochosihehe15:59
ochosislickymaster, krytarik: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-default-settings/trunk/revision/56215:59
ochosisorinello: hf! :)15:59
slickymastergreat ochosi 15:59
slickymasterthnaks15:59
slickymasterthanks even15:59
krytarikLOL - that was quick.15:59
krytarikslickymaster: Snacks! :P16:00
slickymasterok, krytarik, let's wait for the Finnish input on all this, and then propose a MP and I'll be happy to review it and merge it16:01
ochosinp, quick is how i roll ;)16:01
slickymasterlol16:01
ochosihowever, we still need another upload before the final release16:02
krytarikslickymaster: Excluding the general credits still, yes?16:02
ochosiso that would be something to keep on the radar16:02
slickymasteryes krytarik 16:02
ochosi(we might need more changes in x-d-s though)16:02
slickymasterindeed ochosi16:02
slickymasterspeaking about snack krytarik, little one is already nagging about it16:03
krytariklol16:03
krytarikWell, I just had breakfast. :P16:03
slickymasterwe had lunch just 2 hours ago and he's already hungry :P16:03
krytarikThat's what it needs to get from little to big. ;P16:04
slickymaster:)16:08
slickymaster416:08
slickymasterlol irssi is lagging again horribly16:08
krytarikIt's not Irssi, it's your internet connection. :P16:09
slickymasterno it's not16:09
krytarikslickymaster: This is what I mean by "Correct some data in the general contributor credits" exactly, btw:  http://paste.openstack.org/show/QdZJSz82u43SNIRGZlJz/16:24
slickymasteryeah, alphabetical order krytarik 16:43
krytarikslickymaster: Nah, I was about to say disregard that, that's secondary - the more important one is the incorrect LP user names.18:11
slickymaster you're. tbh I didn't noticed the correction of the LP names:P18:19
slickymastermy bad18:19
krytarikYeah, I can see how that can be overlooked there - lazy me. :P18:20
Noskcajbluesabre, Would you have time to upload xfce4-session 4.12.1 for me?19:46
Noskcajit and xfdesktop4 4.12.1 are in ppa:noskcaj/staging20:00
pleia2knome: lmk when you're about? want to chat polos (I sadly haven't kept up with any potential discussions you may have already had with ochosi, only pings from ochosi post washing :))20:06
elfyevening pleia2 20:07
pleia2o/ elfy 20:08
brainvvash_Noskcaj, are you preparing xfdesktop 4.12.1 for vivid? if yes, there are two regressions. not documented on bugzilla yet, but fixed in master.20:15
Noskcajbrainvvash_, oh. Is a bugfix release coming soon or should i add patches to my package?20:16
brainvvash_a bug fix release is planned, but only eric_the_idiot knows when it will be released :)20:16
Noskcajok. I might save xfdesktop4 for a MRE so we can test it a bit better. There's a lot of changes anyway20:18
micahgNoskcaj: there's 3 weeks until final freeze, standard SRU test period is 7 days...20:41
micahgif it's not uploadable now, it probably shouldn't be an SRU either...20:42
Noskcajmicahg, I didn't look at the release schedule, i just knew it was "soonish"20:44
NoskcajWe should have enough time then20:44
micahgNoskcaj: and anything you need sponsored, if you throw it in the queue, I can take a look over the weekend20:45
Noskcajmicahg, session's the only xfce thing i need sponsored ATM, if bluesabre doesn't just copy it from my PPA, i'll make a bug tomorrow20:46
gnumbknutsHi ye. Has Xchat been dropped from vivid-β2 ? I had to install it manually on live-usb.  20:51
elfyyes it has20:52
gnumbknutsWill it return for the final release? or will there be no IRC client installed by default ? Thanks elfy.20:53
elfyhttp://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-14-10-beta-1/20:53
elfywas removed in the last release20:53
elfyno - there are no plans to bring it back20:53
elfynot well supported anymore, I actually use hexchat here20:54
gnumbknutsOk elfy, I will check out Hexchat ;’20:54
elfyI would :)20:55
elfynot sure why we say install xchat tbh, the removal came about after a discussion in team and on devel mailing list about replacing xchat with hexchat20:55
* micahg uses xchat :)20:56
elfyI used to for ~5 years20:57
elfymoved to hexchat last cycle because we were talking about changing20:58
elfy2 really annoying issues for me with it, though I plod on using it ;)20:58
elfyI only stop using something when issues are really really annoying ... 20:58
gnumbknutsI didn't realise  that Pidgin could do IRC. I just had a look at some pictures of Hexchat, it looks almost the same as Xchat.21:06
Noskcajgnumbknuts, hexchat is based on xchat, but it is actually being maintained21:07
pleia2it doesn't do it very well, but it's already included and we figure anyone who is going to be using IRC for more than a channel or two will have their own preference anyway so they'll just install their own client21:07
Noskcajpidgin's irc is pretty dreadful for regular users, but it's enough for people needed support most of the time21:07
elfygnumbknuts: hezxchat is a fork afaik21:09
elfyjust has some suppport21:09
elfyworks ok here except - alt+a to /away and ctrl+f resizes the whole window 21:10
elfythose being my 2 issues with it ;)21:10
elfydoes sasl though apparently21:10
gnumbknutsI was thinking because IRC is such an old format, that if a client worked properly. then it wouldn't need maintaining.21:11
gnumbknutsYes well... I,m new to IRC so I'm a bit scared of using some of those commands in fear of breaking something. LOL! 21:14
drcgnumbknuts: There21:14
elfythere is that - but if something does happen - is there anyone about ... 21:14
drcs a difference between "maintained" and "actively developed".21:14
drcSee: ssl bugs :)21:15
drcand with that, dinnertime21:15
knomepleia2, here i am21:17
elfyhi knome 21:18
knomehello elfy21:18
elfythough I'm not likely to be mistaken for pleia2 ;)21:18
knomeand no, still didn't do anything about the announcement - friend popped here sooner than he told he was going to21:18
gnumbknutsI guess it doesn't really matter whether or not an IRC client is installed by default. That's the beauty of ?ubuntu based distros, it is very easy to install :)21:18
elfyknome: yep - assumed something 21:19
elfygnumbknuts: that for sure21:19
Unit193Hint, don't use pidgin and IRC.21:27
gnumbknutsWhile I'm here... In trying out Vivid-β2, I noticed that the menu icon on the panel is the xfce-menu icon. Should it not be the Whisker-menu icon ?21:29
elfymmm21:29
elfyshould be the Xubuntu icon21:29
elfylooks like the Xubuntu one http://i.imgur.com/n7C5mOu.png21:31
gnumbknutselfy: Yes that is the one, I think I may have gotten the names mixed up. So then it, seems that all is well. 21:34
