brainwashelfy: is bug 1437180 still present? no one else has confirmed it yet in the report10:22
ubottubug 1437180 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Desktop Icons show on the install only desktop" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143718010:22
ochosinot sure but i thought bluesabre mentioned the same thing too10:23
ochosiif someone confirms it we should add it to the bugs blueprint10:24
brainwashit's already linked to the blueprint10:25
brainwashbut there is no progress10:25
ochosii'm unsure what we can do about it and why it didn't happen in the first place, i.e. when xfdesktop was added to our ubiquity session to draw the wallpaper10:31
ochosithe most straight-forward solution would be to replace xfdesktop with feh10:32
ochosibluesabre: thoughts on this? ^10:32
brainwashideally yes10:32
brainwashUnit193 has tested ubiquity with xfdesktop, so he should have noticed the icons I'd guess10:33
brainwashor maybe "it's not a bug, it's a feature" :)10:34
bluesabrexfdesktop wasn't recently added to ubiquity to draw the wallpaper, we've used it for years10:52
bluesabrethe black background was due to it becoming a zombie process as I recall10:53
bluesabreand a newer xfdesktop release gave us desktop icons10:53
bluesabreI'd say its a bug, albeit minor, and I would not be opposed to switching to feh to draw the ubiquity background in 15.10, since that desktop doesn't do anything else10:55
brainwashbluesabre: is there some config file for xfdesktop when run in live mode? or are any parameters passed?11:05
brainwashI assume that the right click context menu works also11:05
bluesabreI'm not sure11:05
brainwashso, switching to feh would be the best option11:06
bluesabreI just know that we changed nothing except a new xfdesktop and started seeing icons11:06
elfyquestion re feh, currently if you start install and quit - the live media boots to the livesession - that going to get affected?11:24
ochosibluesabre: yeah, i'd also say it's minor and prolly too late to switch to feh now11:28
ochosibut yeah, everything else (context menus) works with xfdesktop in the live session11:29
ochosiwhich means ppl can basically run any programme they want or even use multiple workspaces...11:29
ochosiso apart from the panel, there's little diff between the install only and the live session atm11:29
elfywhich begs the question why do it then? 11:30
elfyand also begs the other 'why test installs from install and not try' question too :)11:30
elfyochosi: btw - 2 different names for the QA incentive this time :)11:31

knomewoot :)11:32
elfyyep, I was pleased too ;)11:34
bluesabrenice11:34
elfyhi bluesabre :)11:34
bluesabreelfy: the live session won't be affected, it would only be the ubiquity installer session that would use feh, live desktop would be normal11:35
bluesabrehey elfy11:35
bluesabre:)11:35
elfybluesabre: you misunderstand slightly, start livemedia, accidentally hit install11:36
elfyquit - you get to the livesession11:37
elfywith feh and not xfdesktop - what happens in that scenario? 11:37
ochosielfy: that looks great! (re: qa incentive)11:39
ochosiwe should definitely blog a roundup of this11:39
ochosithat will hopefully further motivate people11:39
bluesabreif I recall, the installer is its own session, so when you quit that, all open apps are closed, then the desktop session is started, so feh is closed and xfdesktop is started11:39
elfybluesabre: ok - thanks :)11:40
elfyochosi: yea - was contemplating doing so *just* before RC/Final Release - hoping to drag a few extras in then11:40
ochosigood idea11:41
elfyI have them sometimes 11:42
ochosi:)P11:42
* bluesabre wishes he had them more often11:42
elfyI'd share mine bluesabre - but it's 2015 and I've only had one since 1999 11:42
elfyluckily my 3 kids never read this oldfashioned irc stuff :p11:43
bluesabrelol11:49
ochosibluesabre: you back at work or still on easter break?11:57
bluesabreeaster break for me was saturday/sunday :)11:58
ochosioh right :)11:59
bluesabresorry Unit193, won't be able to make it to your meeting, but feel free to leave pings for me on anything that needs uploaded11:59
bluesabreI'll be doing a greeter-settings translations release/upload today, and maybe one for x-d-s if the workaround for the greeter white-screen works12:00
ochosigreat!12:02
ochosithanks bluesabre 12:02
ochosibrainwash, elfy: just confirmed the xfdesktop icon bug in today's daily build and also noted that in the bugreport14:10
ochosibrainwash: since you've been poking xfdesktop a bit lately, any clue why the icons started appearing? my best guess so far is that our default settings weren't loaded correctly or at all before14:12
ochosibluesabre: ok, i added an idea for a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1437180 (it's not pretty, but sorta okayish for 15.04)14:21

slickymasterI had some #info items, but I don't know now where I placed them :P20:10
ochosielfy: well i dunno, if you have an opinion on it etc20:10
elfyoh 20:10
elfythe icon issue? 20:10
ochosiyeah20:10
elfyI only really had one thing to find out - and bluesabre put my mind at rest20:11
ochosithe question (partly) is: is the situation bad enough that we want a hacky fix pushed that we'll have to revert in 15.1020:11
Unit193We could move this to discussions. :P20:11
micahgis there a bug in xfdesktop?20:11
elfyI would agree they look a bit daft - but maybe better to leave well alone over the next 3 weeks20:11
knomei'm here.20:12
ochosiUnit193: agreed, let's discuss it a bit later (also re: micahg :) )20:12
Unit193#topic Discussion items20:12
Unit193ochosi: Want a subtopic right now?20:12
pleia2elfy: thanks, happy to ship off the stickers this week20:12
ochosiUnit193: yeah, let's do that20:12
Unit193#subtopic Desktop Icons show on the install only desktop20:13
Unit193ochosi: Have at it.20:13
elfypleia2: cool - I'll mail them as QA and cc you in as we did last time20:13
* pleia2 thumbs up20:13
elfy:)20:13
ochosiok, so the problem is quite easily explained, we use xfdesktop to draw the wallpaper in our ubiquity install-only session20:13
ochosiin 15.10 we'll likely switch to feh for drawing the wallpaper20:14
ochosijust makes more sense, xfdesktop has far too many features and all we really want is a wallpaper below ubiquity20:14
ochosiso the diff i attached on the bugreport basically switches the icons on the desktop setting off via an xfconf-query call20:14
ochosiit's really not a pretty solution20:15
ochosibut it'll do the trick20:15
ochosimicahg: thoughts? ^20:15
micahgif that's the best option and only affects us, I think that's fine20:16
ochositbh i don't know about "best"20:16
ochosibut the release date is closing in on us, and we might want a fix20:16
Unit193micahg: By default, it'll affect Studio too.  Myth doesn't release except for LTSes though.20:16
ochosiyeah, that's true20:17
Unit193Generally speaking, studio is less concerned with the desktop, and more interested in a/v.20:17
micahglooks relatively harmless20:17
ochosiyeah, i tested the xfconf command in a ubiquity live session20:17
ochosiactually there's even a second setting i would change, but i don't want to add another 6 lines for almost nothing20:18
ochosi(disable the right-click menu on the desktop, which allows launching of any other app)20:18
Unit193Racy?20:18
ochosiwell, possibly20:19
ochosiyou mean in case xfsettingsd hasnt started yet?20:19
ochosidunno whether these commands are called synchronously or async20:19
ochosigenerally speaking, calling xfsettingsd and then xfdesktop could also be considered racy20:20
ochosibrb20:20
Unit193Alright, well either way bluesabre isn't here, so.20:21
micahglet's keep an eye on timing, final freeze is next week20:21
Unit193#action ochosi to get in touch with bluesabre about the patch for ubiquity, and xfdesktop icons.20:22
meetingologyACTION: ochosi to get in touch with bluesabre about the patch for ubiquity, and xfdesktop icons.20:22
Unit193Any other remarks on this topic?20:22
elfynot from me20:22
micahgthe trick with patching ubiquity is if there's a problem later, it's much harder to change20:22
Unit193Indeed.20:22
micahgjust FYI20:22
Unit193#subtopic GIMP in the default seed (mailing list discussion)20:22
micahgooh, idr seeing that20:23
Unit193knome: ^20:23
knomennniiiice.20:23
knomewell, it's the mailing list discussion.20:24
Unit193https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2015-January/010560.html20:24
knomei don't think there is a conclusion20:24
micahgoh, was a while ago20:24
elfyyea - these have been dragging their heels, mostly because 15.1020:25
ochosiback20:25
knomethe gimp discussion wasn't also very long20:25
Unit193Same discussion every time, it's overkill, but there's no good simple editors.20:25
knomei think the thing that we know now (again) is that there isn't really a suitable replacement, because there really isn't20:25
knomeyep20:25
dkesselIs pinta an option?20:25
Unit193No.20:25
knomeso maybe the question is: does the still want to stick with GIMP?20:25
knome*the team20:26
knomeor is it a valid option to drop it20:26
Unit193dkessel: There were a couple reasons, but mono is the biggest one.20:26
micahgpinta will pull in mono20:26
ochosiknome: what would be your main argument for dropping it?20:26
Unit193micahg: o/\o20:26
dkesselok20:26
knomeochosi, it's huge, it's much more than a regular user needs20:26
slickymasterwhat about MyPaint?20:27
knomei don't think it has ever specifically contributed to the "xubuntu experience", we've been shipping it because some users and team members like it shipped 20:27
* Unit193 20:28
micahgDescription-en: paint program for use with graphics tablets20:28
micahg?20:29
Unit193http://mypaint.info/20:29
knomemicahg, that's misleading, but it's not like gimp, it's a drawing app more than an image editor20:29
slickymasterthanks Unit193 20:29
ochosiyeah, the gimp does both20:29
Unit193The pictures are scaring me.20:29
knomemicahg, and it is better with graphic tablets.20:29
Unit193So, seems to be something we're not looking at.20:30
ochosiso we'd have to first think what aspect of gimp we'd like to replace with *something*20:30
micahgyes20:30
* knome facepalms20:30
knomethat discussion has come and gone20:30
ochosiyeah :)20:30
knomeyou can refer to the old comparison in the wiki20:30
Unit193Yes,and ristretto still hasn't learned how to resize. :P20:30
ochosiit probably would make sense to do one of those20:30
knomethe fact is that there is no suitable app that does it20:30
knomeit being the features we want to replace in gimp20:31
Unit193So while it's overkill, it does what we need and can't find something else to do it.20:31
knomebut instead of shipping the huge gimp because there isn't an alternative, and kind of giving up, why don't we drop it?20:31
micahgxpaint seems to have the same "features" in th wiki20:32
ochosiwe could also switch back to shipping gthumb and drop ristretto and gimp20:33
geniiToo bad theres no gimp-minimal20:34
Unit193Meh, always thought gthumb was useless.20:34
knomemicahg, no version update since precise20:34
micahgisn't it a little late in the cycle to be updating seeds?20:34
knomeyeah, let's not reintroduce gthumb20:34
Unit193micahg: For wombat.20:34
micahgah20:34
Unit193I'd like to table this so we can move on to the next disucssion that's neverending. :P20:34
knomeochosi, we can write a small script set that allowed the user to handle their images from thunar20:35
knomeochosi, just link that to a custom action for all images.20:35
knomeresize, rotate, you name it20:35
ochosiyou mean via imagemagick?20:35
knomeyep.20:35
knomethose who need more complex tools can install one from the repositories20:36
dkessel+120:36
ochosiwe can also try to add those features to ristretto at some point20:36
knomeimagemagick can even write text20:36
knomeso you can do a lolcat generator20:36
ochosiouch20:37
micahgwhat about shutter?20:37
knomewell i mean, wasn't that one of our prerequisites for the iamge editor...20:37
knomemicahg, the right place to do proposals for apps is the mailing list thread20:37
knomei don't think it's a good use of everybody's time to mull over those in a meeting20:38
Unit193We're discussing it now. :P20:38
ochosiisn't that a screenshot tool?20:38
micahgyes, but it does have a nice editor in it20:38
ochosioh20:38
ochosii didn't know about that20:38
micahg2 for 1 :)20:38
knomewe have the xfce screenshooter..20:38
Unit193Description does seem very screenshooter centric.20:39
knomeUnit193, and their website is awful without js..20:39
dkesselDoesn't look like it can open existing files, or can it?20:40
micahgyes, it can20:41
ochosigenerally speaking, i don't mind dropping one of our apps for 15.10, also in terms of getting user feedback (i know, the vocal minority and all, but better than no feedback)20:42
knomeset up a team vote and get on with it.20:42
knome:20:42
knome:)20:42
ochosiwe can do one now if you guys and gals agree that that's a good idea :)20:43
ochosiit's sorta funky timing with 15.04 not even released, but whatever20:43
elfyit'll get some votes done, rest of team can vote on m/l 20:44

ochosibut yeah, i'm open to dropping it20:48
elfymoving on perhaps 20:48

Unit193Right, so it's been discussed.  Anyone ready to make a motion as to voting?20:50
ochosibut the vote would be to just drop abiword/gnumeric or replace them with LO?20:51
Unit193ochosi: Exactly, hence why I didn't just make one.20:51
ochosiknome: ?20:52
knomeochosi, i imagine two polls.20:52

knomeochosi, 1) frop abiword/gnumeric or not?20:52
knome*drop20:52
knomeochosi, if 1) yes, 2) install LO?20:52

Unit193#subtopic Default game change (mailing list discussion)20:57
knomewoohoo!20:57
micahghrm, I really think it needs to be one vote, unless we're looking to not have a replacement (or there are other alternatives besides LO(20:57
elfyand this one - I assume we're talking about sgt ? 20:57
Unit193micahg: Well, technically online docs or the KDE one.20:57
Unit193elfy: It's whatever you put on there. :D20:57
knomei would vote for the sgt-puzzles on ONE CONDITION20:58
elfyUnit193: I didn't ... 20:58
Unit193It doesn't look so ugly?20:58
knomethat somebody (bluesabre) makes a game selector app for it20:58
knomeand that it only appears as one menu item, not bazillion20:58
knomecurrently it's too obtrusive.20:58
elfyI'd not say that 20:58
knome...in my opinion20:59
knome:P20:59
elfyunless you happen to have bunches of games installed :)20:59
elfythen I'd agree with you 20:59
knomei have a few to tenish depending on the machine20:59
knomethe sheer amount of games is baffling.21:00
knomei wouldn't say it would be best to split them to separate packages...21:00
knome...but i'd like that personally. i only fancy less than 10 of them anyway21:00
elfyshall we shelve this and see what bluesabre's opinion on that possibility is first? 21:01
ochosifwiw, i'll put the office vote-stuff in one email since the votes are directly related21:01
knomeochosi, yep.21:01
knomeelfy, he's said it's possible, i wouldn't have brought it up otherwise :)21:01
Unit193elfy: Yes, was thinking the same.21:01
elfyknome: I assumed but that gets tricky in months time ;)21:02
knomeelfy, because?21:02
elfybecause then I find that what I assumed isn't the case ;)21:02
knomeheh21:03
Unit193knome: How would you like to carry it on?  Re: meetingology?21:03
knomewe can surely get an official response from sean to this21:03
elfyand it'spossible isn't the same as it's possible and I've got time 21:03
knomei guess: what do other people feel about sgt-puxxles?21:03
knomes/xx/zz/21:03
elfys'ok 21:03
knomeis it worth even investigating to creating a game selector21:04
slickymasterI don't know it, but I honestly don't pay attention to games21:04
elfyI just think that 'games' in our install is stale - all we seem to have done is remove a couple and leave it21:04
knomebriefly, it's a collection of dozens of small puzzle games21:04
knomethat are a great short distraction21:04
knomenot something you'd play for hours21:05
Unit193So, I'm hearing a "Why bother?" "I don't really care." and "They are a short distraction."21:06
slickymasterthe way I see the discussion about the games is that everyone always use the argument that people paly them while installing the iso21:06
knomeUnit193, i was trying to give a brief description for them. i'm all +1 if we can get the number of menu items down.21:07
elfyand I'm +1 for ringing the changes 21:07
Unit193knome: Right, yours seems to reflect that.21:07
micahgneeds to use exo-open or xdg-open21:07
micahgwith that change, I'd be ok including it21:07
knomeon the other hand, if we decided to ship no games, i would be completely fine with that too21:07
elfymmm21:08
Unit193Alright, so lets carry this forward to when bluesabre is here, alright?21:08
knomeso to be crystal clear...21:08
elfythen if we go that way and no abiword/gnumeric or replacement - just work with core 21:08
knomei'm "+0" on "ship games or not ship games", but if we are shipping, then i'm "+1 sgt-puzzles if they have a single launcher"21:08
Unit193Good to know.21:09
knomeelfy, but ff/tb/etc21:09
Unit193elfy: There's still afew things.21:09

elfyI do have a point21:10
elfyhowever ... 21:10
Unit193Ah, great.21:10
elfyall the time we've been discussing this I've been - shouldn't include team21:11
elfybut as I do the figures every month I feel rather sorry for jjfrv8 ;)21:11

ochosiwe could give him an honorary sticker?21:12
elfyor do a whole cycle for team winner set 21:12
elfyexcluding me though21:12
ochosiright, i'd be fine with either21:13
ochosipersonally, i dont think we have to make a rule up for everything21:13
elfyok - I'll check with pleia2 to make sure we've got enough - pretty sure we do21:13

bluesabregooooooooooooood evening!21:46
bluesabre:D21:46
elfybluesabre: !!!21:46
elfywe pinged you loads :p21:46
bluesabrethunderstorming here, so likelyhood of having internet long is low21:46
bluesabresaw all the pings21:46
bluesabrewhere to start... :)21:46
bluesabreochosi: your proposed xfdesktop patch will leave us with no icons on the desktop if ubiquity fails or is cancelled21:47
bluesabresince it sets the xfconf settings21:47
bluesabremaking a launcher should be fairly simple, may need some artwork drawn, or a mockup of what we want21:48
bluesabrewe might be able to take it further and embed the game windows, maybe21:49
bluesabrebut a launcher is easier and faster21:49
knomebluesabre, just a dropdown or selection list would suffice.21:49
bluesabreknome: how many games are in the package?21:50
knomeartwork? i guess you can use the game icons if you want to be fancy :)21:50
knomebluesabre, like 20-3021:50
bluesabreyeah, I was thinking of a nice icon or card-style launcher21:50
knomebluesabre, and it's possible that it grows, so the solution needs to take that into account21:50
bluesabrek, good to know21:50
elfybluesabre: on a 1920x1080 monitor - expanding whisker to top - just about grabs them all 21:51
bluesabreyikes21:51
elfyyep - yikes21:51
bluesabreI might start hacking something together for that this week21:51
bluesabremaybe21:51
bluesabre:)21:51
bluesabremaybe even a more generic xfce games launcher like settings manager21:52
elfyso entirely possible and something that we could get voted on next time then 21:52
bluesabreyeah, definitely doable21:52
ochosibluesabre: if ubiquity fails? but yeah, i mean that's the same that would happen with feh... and we still have a right-click menu on the desktop21:53
bluesabrenope21:53
bluesabrewith feh, the normal session is start21:53
bluesabrewith xfdesktop, the normal session is started21:54
ochosi?21:54
bluesabrethe difference is that xfconf holds the persistent setting that we apply21:54
knomebluesabre, start with one for sgt-puzzles, and consider the work you need to do to add it in the package too :P21:54
ochosiyeah, but only in the ubiquity-dm-only sessio21:54
ochosin21:54
bluesabrexfconf settings are per-user, does the ubiquity session use a different user?21:55
ochosihm, let me quickly test that21:55
elfycan I just ask a question here, why do we actually have the extra screen at all? 21:55
ochosiwell, it's already there, i don't think we can do anything about it21:56
elfylubuntu doesn't have it 21:56
ochosiit doesn't?21:56
elfynot that I remember 21:56
bluesabreextra screen as in Install/Live ?21:57
ochosiyeah21:57
elfyI'll shut up now till I double check that21:57
ochosii guess the installer session only makes sense if it uses significantly less memory21:59
elfycan't check lubuntu fails with that horrid pwconv /etc/passwd 0600 issue atm 22:00
ochosi243MiB for the installer22:00
pleia2elfy: we have plenty of stickers, just tell me where to send them and happy to22:00
elfypleia2: okey doke :)22:01
pleia2elfy: also, at the end of the cycle I think maybe a blog post that lists all the winners and thanks them again22:01
pleia2since we haven't done a great job of celebrating them on social media (my fault)22:01
elfypleia2: that sounds useful for sure22:02
elfyand next week or so will do a reminder of it pre-final testing, so when that comes up - social mediaing it would be good :)22:02
elfyand with that - the day's done for me :)22:03
elfynight all22:03
ochosibluesabre: crap yeah, so it's persistent :/22:03
pleia2elfy: yep, just ping me, I'm traveling again next week so will need poking :)22:05
* bluesabre is delighted and saddened that he is right at the same time22:05
ochosiso installer (243MiB) vs. live (297MiB)22:06
ochosielfy: ^22:06
ochosiactually the xfce session itself is really light (~215MiB), ubiquity is a huge memory hog22:07
Unit193ochosi: Helps more for Unity.22:10
ochosiyeah ofc22:10
ochosibluesabre: i pushed some tiny fixes/improvements to parole today btw22:46
bluesabreochosi: I saw, nice work :)22:47
ochosioh, and i updated the parole docs22:49
ochosiadded that hidden setting there22:49
ochosi(the timeout for hiding the controls)22:49
Subsentientochosi: you're an XFCE dev then?22:51
ochosiyup22:51
Subsentientochosi: On the topic of parole, I can't get it to link against gtk2.22:51
SubsentientI'm using 0.5.x as a result22:51
ochosiyeah, we dropped gtk2 support after 0.522:51
SubsentientDamn22:52
ochosiso that's very much expected22:52
SubsentientCouldn't just keep both available?22:52
ochosinope22:52
SubsentientI suppose I can kinda see why that might be, but it's unfortunate nonetheless.22:53
micahgI don't know if we'll get rid of GTK2 for 16.04, hopeful for 18.0422:53
SubsentientIt's a shame. I liked gtk2.22:53
micahgyes, but it's not really supported anymore22:54
micahg(by GNOME)22:54
SubsentientI know.22:54
SubsentientIt's still good code. I'll miss it. GTK 3 is alright, but I'd still rather have gtk 2. :^)22:54
Subsentientochosi: Oh, BTW, I should probably put it on the tracker but I'm lazier than a slot stuck in tar, so I wanted to just ask if the devs were aware of clicking "arrange icons" usually placing some of them offscreen on 4.1222:57
Subsentientsloth*22:57
ochosii think there are some fixes for that already23:00
SubsentientYeh I compiled 4.12 the day after it came out. :^D23:01
SubsentientThe new power manager is pretty nice23:01
ochosithanks23:01
knomeSubsentient, i very much encourage you to report bugs and test results. it helps us as lot.23:02
Unit193Subsentient: Whatcha doin' with aqu4?23:11
SubsentientUnit193: I just like keeping her around in channels I frequent for logging and utility purposes. She won't bother anyone.23:12
Unit193!198423:22
ubottuOfficial channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too.23:22
knomeSubsentient, may i ask you, what might the utility purpose be? and, are the logs private only, or can somebody else get access to them as well?23:27
