ochosii noticed i get a fontconfig folder created every once in a while on 15.0408:27
ochosihave any of you gotten that too? (haven't been able to track down the troublemaker yet)08:28
knomea fontconfig folder?10:03
ochosiknome: a fontconfig folder.10:55
knomewhere?11:08
knomewhy is it a problem?11:08
knomeetc..11:08
ochosiin the home folder11:14
ochosiwell, it just pops up from time to time, then i delete it11:14
ochosithen it resurfaces11:14
ochosihaven11:14
ochosit had time to further investigate11:14
ochosibut as i've been running 15.04 for a while and haven't had a chance for a clean install, i wanted to check before i run everything in vbox11:14
dkessel_ochosi: I think I had that too recently11:15
=== dkessel_ is now known as dkessel
ochosi(also, it doesn't happen instantaneously, just seems to be triggered by "something" "at some point")11:15
ochosiok11:15
ochosiguess we should check whether a bugreport already exists11:15
ochosiand if not, investigate this a bit and then submit one11:15
Unit193ochosi: I have one better, ]/ randomly pops up...11:16
ochosiwhat's ]/ ?11:17
knomeaha, so not a dot folder?11:17
Unit193I haven't the slightest idea, empty.11:18
Unit193~/]/ just appears.11:18
knomei'm sure it's a punishment for all your sins.11:19
ochosinope, not a dot folder, otherwise i'd have said .fontconfig :)11:25
ochosiUnit193: oh wow, that's even weirder11:25
* ochosi suspects Unit193 is a story-topper11:25
Unit193Not usually, that involves talking to people.  I just plain don't understand it..11:26
dkesselOften? You could have a look at the creation time. Maybe you get an idea what ran at that time11:27
Unit193Not that often, nope.11:28
elfyI've not seen that fontconfig thing at all during the last 5 months16:33
elfyanyone know of xfce bug for terminal not getting focus? google fu failing, thought there was one to put against bug 144010016:45

sidiif anyone's got commit access to the docs, can you please add a one-liner? I dont really feel like digging the doc, making a patch, etc, since it'd take me 30 mins to just locate the bzr repo :p17:03

ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 11743 in Helpers "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator inactive window opens" [Normal,New]19:09
Unit193Easiest thing to do there is reverse the two commits.19:18
Unit193Noskcaj: You try out xfburn yet? :P19:23
NoskcajUnit193, no. I've got no dvd drives around, so it seemed pointless19:25
Unit193A lot of things seem to seem pointless. :P  Well, can check if it works at all, or perhaps loop mounting.  That's what I'm going to try.19:26
Noskcajok, i'll get to it later today19:26
Unit193Well doesn't crash.19:29
brainvvashindicator-messages does not show up in the indicator area. did anyone else notice this?19:39
Unit193It's up there, indicating.19:40
brainvvashgood19:40
Unit193If it's a first install or something, it won't appear until after you open something that supports it.19:41
ali12341i dont see it, but i haven't updated for a few days19:41
brainvvashI've even checked the guest session, not sure what may be broken here then19:41
ali12341ah that would be it19:41
ali12341yeah it pops up as soon as i start pidgin19:41
brainvvashinstall is 4 months old and I've opened a handful of email clients already19:42
ali12341few email clients seem to support it19:42
Unit193Thunderbird should, pidgin does, and hexchat if you have hexchat-indicator installed.19:42
brainvvashok, it is back :)19:43
Unit193Problem solved. \o/19:43
brainvvashso, what about the exo bug? bluesabre wanted to somehow fix it, or revert the faulty commits19:44
Unit193I used revert, it's super effective.19:46
brainvvashfor personal use19:47
brainvvashcan you fix the ubuntu package?19:47
brainvvashand upload?19:47
Unit193I can not upload, and wasn't sure how bluesabre wanted to fix that.19:49
brainvvashthe benefit of fixing it properly is small19:49
brainvvashjust revert before it's too late :)19:50
mrkrampsknown issue that media keys are not recognized in xubuntu session?20:44
knomeno and yes20:45
mrkrampsso it depends?20:45
knomeyep20:45
knomeit's mostly hardware specific, the software side should be working with no problems20:45
mrkrampseh, and that's the real issue … media keys are recognised in an openbox session on the same system20:46
brainvvashdid they work in 14.10? did some update in 15.04 break the functionality?20:51
mrkrampsi have to admit my setup is not very representative with 14.04 + 4.12 PPA and actually my question should have been if there is some issue known in general or had been fixed recently or something20:52
brainvvashdownload the 15.04 iso and verify that it's broken in the current dev release20:53
brainvvashbooting into the live session should be enough20:54
mrkrampsalright20:54
mrkrampsbrainvvash, beta 2 or daily?21:03
brainvvashdaily21:04
brainvvashbeta 2 should be fine too, it's still somewhat fresh21:05
mrkrampsdaily is in the pipe now21:06
mrkrampsthanks21:06
mrkrampsbrainvvash, is there somethings else i maybe should test when i boot daily?21:23
brainvvashyou wanna do some general testing?21:25
brainvvashI don't know if something specific needs testing21:26
mrkrampsi will have to boot it anyway21:26
mrkrampsok, maybe next time21:28
brainvvashfeel free to open random apps and click on different stuff like panel indicators21:28
brainvvashif you want more details, you'll have to ask elfy 21:29
Unit193Awesome, Debian is finally working on ddebs.21:31
mrkramps_ok, media keys are working in daily and it is nice to see thunar not segfaulting on file operations anymore21:37
Unit193Nice.21:38
mrkramps_so i guess all issues i have are due to my mixed setup21:39
Unit193xfce-4.12?21:40
mrkramps_14.04 with 4.12 ppa21:40
mrkramps_and yes, i know i had to expect issues when adding the ppa ^21:40
Unit193I'll update that, thunar in vivid is newer.21:42
mrkramps_that is great to hear #11450 made thunar absolutely useless21:42
mrkramps_Unit193: is there something else i shall test as i have booted daily anyway21:43
mrkramps_mugshot is also fixed21:44
mrkramps_or is it just because a name is already given21:44
mrkramps_ah, mugshot still crashing when name is empty21:45
Unit193mrkramps_: Not that I know of, the testcase is pretty simple.  You can report it if you'd like on https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/21:50
Unit193mrkramps: Actually, in a bit you can help by updating your trusty system and 1. Checking that everything is a-ok.  2. See what else depends on libxfce4util6.22:18
mrkrampsUnit193, alright, i'll check ppa page for updated packages being published22:19
bluesabrehey all22:20
bluesabrewhats up?22:21
* Unit193 sighs.22:23
Unit193http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/xfce4-session/vivid/view/head:/debian/changelog#L11522:23
Unit193bluesabre: exo?22:23
bluesabreUnit193: yes, going to fix exo this weekend, either upstream or ubuntu, but fix it22:23
bluesabreelfy, jjfrv8, dkessel I may have something for you to test soon (since you have 2~ monitors according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Testing/TeamHardware)22:25
bluesabremy internet at home has been less than reliable lately :(22:27
Unit193Bah.22:27
Unit193That's not really going to help at all.22:27
bluesabrehm?22:29
bluesabreprobably going to merge the one thunar patch as well since I haven't heard any negative feedback22:34
Unit193Bad internet.  Got xfburn git snapshot with gst1.0 up in staging.22:34
bluesabrenice!22:35
bluesabreI'll have to try to burn something other than food then22:35
Unit193Haha. :D22:35
Unit193Nearly a week, and gst0.10 needs to disappear.  xfce4-mixer is the only other thing, I believe.22:36
mrkrampsUnit193, thunar still crashes with segfault22:36
bluesabrewhich crash?22:39
mrkrampshttps://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1145022:40
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 11450 in core "Thunar 1.64, 1.65, & 1.66 crash when moving files" [Critical,Resolved: fixed]22:40
brainvvash_did you restart thunar (including its daemon process)?22:40
mrkrampsi logged out22:40
Unit193And, apt-cache policy thunar22:40
mrkrampsInstalled: 1.6.6-1ubuntu1~14.0422:41
mrkrampsbrainvvash_, the deamon should be restarted if i log out and in again?22:41
bluesabreah, is that with the last patch in that bug report?22:41
brainvvash_mrkramps, yes22:42
mrkrampsthe patch in #104 works, i applied it manually22:43
bluesabrecool, going to patch the PPA and vivid versions with that same patch22:43
bluesabrewas looking for feedback if anybody noticed regressions, but nobody indicated as much22:44
mrkrampsbluesabre, i send a very oldschool e-mail to Noskcaj because he was the last who uploaded the thunar package in that ppa22:44
mrkrampsso at least he should know about it ^^22:44
bluesabreyeah, I've gotten a few emails about it too22:45
bluesabrejust been out and about or offline most of the week22:45
mrkrampsi am using thunar with this patch for some days now w/o any problems22:45
bluesabregood to hear22:45
mrkrampsand i guess everything is better than having a file manager segfaultig at a core feature22:46
bluesabreyes22:46
Unit193bluesabre: Also, I just hit xfce-4.12 trusty with backports of $WORLD.22:46
bluesabreoh thats fun22:47
bluesabrethanks Unit19322:47
bluesabreyou da bestest22:47
bluesabre<322:47
Unit193mrkramps: Can you  apt-get purge -s libxfce4util6 | pastebinit  ?22:47
Unit193bluesabre: Hah, sure.22:47
Unit193mrkramps: That won't remove anything, -s = simulate22:47
mrkrampsUnit193, i know ;)22:47
mrkrampshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10734110/22:47
Unit193Coolio, danke.22:48
mrkrampsgern geschehen22:48
mrkrampsthe media keys still not working btw.22:49
Unit193indicator shouldn't be on that list..22:51
mrkrampsbluesabre, i guess patchin the thunar package might take awhile?22:53
dkesselbluesabre: sure, tell me what to test then22:53
bluesabredkessel: great, I'll likely have a new lightdm-gtk-greeter package to test ready tonight or tomorrow, I'll poke you then22:57
Unit193bluesabre: Going to stop doing the login box flickering?22:57
Unit193bluesabre: FWIW, I have exo with the same commits reverted as Arch has, just needs an updated d/changelog.22:58
bluesabreUnit193: that might be a fix in there, but more importantly it should fix the useless login screen with 2+ monitors23:06
bluesabreUnit193: where's your exo? that might be a good place to start23:07
Unit193bluesabre: https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/xfce please fix changelog though!23:07
bluesabreofc23:09
Unit193Because, there's two patches, not one. :P23:09
bluesabrebbiab23:16
mrkrampsUnit193, indicator plugin is held back, missing dependencies23:18
Unit193Ah, I see it.23:18
Unit193Pushed.23:32
mrkrampsFixed.23:41
Unit193Yep, just had to "manually" backport.  Man, trusty has been a while.23:42
mrkramps^^23:45
mrkrampsso package upower-bin was added after 14.0423:45
Unit193Yeah, it was split due to systemd.23:45
Unit193And in newer plugins, 'upstart' is called rather than 'init'23:45
mrkrampsdamn, i guess it is pain in the ass to maintain such a backport ppa23:46
Unit193systemload also won't get pushed back to trusty, upower 0.99.23:46
knomeonly in Unit193's bottom.23:46
mrkrampsespecially when the core system had a lot of changes23:46
Unit193Meh, well I worry a bit about it because I don't use trusty.23:46
Unit193Yeah.23:46
mrkrampsUnit193, if something goes wrong … i tellya23:46
Unit193Great, thanks!23:47
knomeUnit193, and if you break anything on MY desktop...23:47
knome:P23:47
Unit193knome: Don't use PPAs! :P23:47
knomei don't!23:47
knome(much)23:47
* Unit193 is a PPA (ab)user, can't really complain. :P23:48
mrkrampsyou have to revert a lot of packages if you are going for a release upgrade23:48
Unit193Not really.  The upgrader will disable PPAs and just update the packages.23:49
mrkrampsthis was not working for me with 12.0423:49
Unit193Upgrades have only gotten smoother.23:49
Unit19314.10 => 15.04 was very smooth.23:50
mrkrampslts → lts never worked for me23:50
Unit193Only ever done that on a server. :P23:50
mrkrampsHWE also seems to break things now23:50
Unit193That it does.23:51
