jjfrv8Unit193, ochosi, I made a few tiny suggestions on the Core doc. Just some commas and a lowercase "d" (because it's not a new sentence).00:16
bluesabreevening folks02:40
Unit193Howdy, bluesabre.  Archive open, syncy time?02:41
bluesabrepretty much02:41
bluesabrehave the autosyncs started yet?02:41
Unit193Don't bother with thunar yet.02:41
Unit193Yep.02:41
Unit193xfcegui4 won't sync though.02:41
Unit193gtk-xfce-engine being out of your set?02:42
bluesabreyeah, thats outside of my set02:42
bluesabregui4 has ubuntu so it wont sync02:42
bluesabreso I can sync that one :)02:42
Unit193Yep.02:42
Unit193-s unit193! :---D02:43
bluesabrehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10994070/02:44
bluesabre:D02:44
* Unit193 wonders what bluesabre's using...02:45
bluesabrepackages.{debian|ubuntu} and a crappy crawler02:45
Unit193https://sigma.unit193.net/~unit193/xfce412.html :D02:46
bluesabre:D02:46
Unit193https://sigma.unit193.net/~unit193/xfce.html too, but don't think that's so much.02:46
bluesabreubuntu tools seem to also crawl packages.02:47
bluesabresyncpackage: Error: Version in Debian 4.10.0-2 (unstable) isn't newer than Ubuntu 4.10.0-2ubuntu1 (wily)02:47
Unit193https://packages.qa.debian.org/libx/libxfcegui4/news/20150505T220154Z.html02:48
bluesabreI know02:48
bluesabrepackages.debian is slow to update02:48
Unit193Oh well, will be there soon ehough...02:49
bluesabreindeed02:49
bluesabrewill try again tomorrow02:49
bluesabrewe could start working on the seed now02:49
Unit193Wily bzr branches aren't there yet either, so can't propose merges. :/02:49
Unit193Don't break it! :P02:49
bluesabreheh02:50
bluesabreprobably something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10994190/03:03
bluesabreubuntu without pdfimport and impress opengl transitions03:04
Unit193Will likely have to blacklist some, no?03:05
bluesabredunno03:05
Unit193I believe so.03:05
bluesabreprobably03:05
Unit193And we want -math?03:05
bluesabreprobably not03:05
bluesabredidn't know what we want, and we never voted on a concise list03:05
bluesabrecan and probably should start with just writer/calc03:06
Unit193I'd go with calc and writer for now, I believe -math will be pulled in though.03:06
bluesabreeh, no meta wily branch right now either to play with03:15
bluesabreso, I think I'll just be productive with this stuff tomorrow instead03:15
Unit193So I had to go with poking someone that'd uploaded it before.03:15
Unit193bluesabre: Well, seed will still get it, no?03:15
bluesabreyeah, I can push my changes to the seed at least03:16
Unit193Oh, did you look over the draft, on a technical note?03:17
Unit193jjfrv8: Thanks!03:17
bluesabrejust did03:19
bluesabrethe draft looks good03:19
bluesabre:)03:20
Unit193Great!03:26
Unit193bluesabre: thunar .8 is in svn.03:26
bluesabregood to know03:34
bluesabreexcept the svn part03:34

ochosiUnit193: anything else on that article or shall we publish it?06:35
ochosior maybe pleia2 or elfy wanna give it a quick glance..?06:35
ochosi(it's on x.org and about x-core)06:35
pleia2I'll have a look06:35
ochosity!06:35
pleia2an introduction as to *why* someone might want it may be useful06:42
pleia2could reword the first paragraph to be that way, but as it is now it kind of jumps into the deep end :)06:43
ochosihehe06:44
ochosiyeah, i tried to add some of that in with "fits on a CD", "good for ppl with limited bandwidth"06:45
Unit193I even had some in the orig.06:45
Unit193Not much, but still.06:46
=== paolo_ is now known as paolo
elfy2 reasons to use this imo - don't want to download 1Gb and don't like the default apps06:52
pleia2it's actually ok the way it is, and I'm going to bed :) so it's fine to publish as it06:53
elfyha ha 06:53
elfymade it a bit easier to read 06:54
Unit193pleia2: G'night!06:54
elfyI'm good with publishing it too06:56
ochosiok, i'll go ahead then07:08
ochosiand done. thanks Unit193!07:08
Unit193Sure, thanks for fixing. :P07:09
* Unit193 waits for it to load...07:12
elfyochosi: mmm so a bit confused here, grabbed xfpm from git and did all that stuff 07:13
ochosimkay..?07:14
elfywhy do I get updates from ppa for it? 07:14
ochosioh, well that's because the 1.4.4 branch diverged07:14
ochosiand yeah, that obviously breaks everything, if you get an update from the PPA :)07:14
elfyyea 07:14
Unit193PPA = daily.07:14
elfythat's what I was a thinking ... 07:14
ochosigit master is still 1.4.307:15
elfyI'll have another go at  clean install later today - had some grrr moments yesterday07:15
ochosimm sure, no rush07:15
ochosihaven't had time to work on it much more so far07:16
ochosijust lemme know whenever you get to it07:17
elfyyep07:21
lderanmm may poke gmusicbrowser, and see how much perl will mess with my mind :P07:59
ochosilderan: you can, note that the source is quite ample and written by a single person, so the logic isn't exactly clear as crystal (from my pov)08:01
lderanfair ennough08:02
ochosijust sayin, as a former contributor ;)08:03
lderan:P08:03
ochosihowever, a lot can be done layout/UI wise with gmusicbrowser08:03
ochosiit has its own layout language08:03
ochosiso maybe that would be a good entry point08:04
lderanlooking at those files right now08:04
Unit193Be aware there's a layout patch we use.08:04
ochosiand plugins aren't that hard to write08:04
ochosi(i mean if i managed, you surely will)08:04
Unit193ochosi: It supports mpv now as well, just in case you didn't know.08:04
ochosii know08:05
ochosiis that a plus for you? :)08:05
Unit193Just "interesting"08:05
ochosithat would actually be quite nice for parole as well, adding an mplayer backend08:05
ochosior libvlc08:05
ochosibut then again, what a waste of time. could just as well use mplayer or vlc directly...08:06
ochosilderan: if you wanna work on parole, i'd have a few ideas for you ;)08:06
lderanoo08:06
ochosie.g. make a gstreamer-plugin installer with packagekit. shouldn't be too hard, but bluesabre and me just never got round to it08:06
lderansure sounds like fun :)08:07
ochosiwe even used to have some sample code for that, but i'm sure you can find it on the web08:07
ochosiwe currently use a crappy gstreamer internal script that should ideally install the codecs when needed, but it doesn't really work well08:07
lderanoh dear, well will have a play this evening after work :)08:08
ochosicool, lemme know how it goes08:13
lderanwill do08:18
ochosiUnit193: btw, i started social-media-ing the -core post, we'll see how much attention it'll generate09:33
Unit193Awesomeness!09:33
Unit193Noticed a wordpress pingback, https://www.bitblokes.de/2015/05/xubuntu-core-wird-ab-wily-werewolf-offiziell/09:34
ochosioh, ok, already got reshared09:34
ochosioh darn, those folks even put up a screenshot09:34
ochosiwe should've done that...09:34
Unit193"Oops"09:34
Unit193It's Xubuntu, it looks like Xubuntu.09:34
ochosino, i meant the first one, that's sort of nice09:35
ochosithe installer screenshot09:35
Unit193Oooh.09:37
Unit193That's the syslinux default.09:37
Unit193Except, added in core.09:37
ochosiyeah, ofc09:37
ochosii tend to think it's just nice to show ppl *something*09:37
ochosi(as long as it's related)09:37
* Unit193 shows a picture of ochosi's face.09:39
Unit193I, err, thought/couldn't remember if I disabled the disabling of maybe-ubiquity.  "oops"09:40
Unit193ochosi: You pay attention to the G+ community?  (Not page)09:46
ochosiUnit193: yeah, showing my face would have been an almost viable alternative10:29
ochosiand i think i'm subscribed to the g+ community, yes10:30
Unit193I glance in every so often, but if I want to do more I'm going to have to convert my unit193@ into G+..10:39
ochosinice that they picked it up as newsworthy, but really, why did they have to show off xubuntu core with simply an historic screenshot... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Xubuntu-Core-Announced14:50
ochosiUnit193: *that* ^ is exactly why we should have provided one...14:50
ochosilooks like 4.6 or something...14:50
drcSeeing as how "core" has come up, does it come with USC or synaptic?14:58
drcwow..small iso (for these bloated days) :)15:00
lderanaye very snazzy15:05
GridCubeochosi: they have done the same for 15.04 and most all phoronix news for xubuntu, they just have one image and re use it16:21
GridCubesee, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Xubuntu-15.10-Defaults16:22
drcBut at least that one's labeled "flashback".16:29
pleia2shared on the social medias16:44
brainwash_GridCube: the panel layout shown in that screenshot is actually cool :)16:54
brainwash_looks like xubuntu did mimic gnome 2 back then16:55
drcretro-xubuntu-core :)16:55
elfyochosi: has new and clean install - not got our ppa's working yet17:04
elfythat said - it appears to have the power plugin working with an icon17:04
elfyochosi: so - if having a working plugin icon makes it null and void on this I'll make it a wily beast - just let me know what's best for testing this issue17:12
elfyochosi: latest postion here - git cloned, did the necessary and now power manager fails badly :)19:05
Unit193ochosi: He'd have done that anyway, he's trying to show Xfce as old and outdated any chance he gets.  Did that last post about Xubuntu/Xfce too.20:46
brainwash_but won't this screenshot attract new users who want the old gnome 2 experience + lock & feel? :>20:50
pleia2oh hey, I'm supposed to schedule a meeting21:06
pleia2elfy: how does 1800 on tuesday work for you?21:08
pleia2^^ and others, but I want to talk to elfy :D21:08
pleia2monday and wednesday within 2 hours of that work too21:09
ochosielfy: how badly?21:37
ochosipleia2: i'm abroad travelling all of next week, so i won't make it either way i guess21:38
ochosithe week after that i'll be back and available21:38
pleia2I won't be :)21:39
ochosioh21:39
ochosiwell, i guess that happens :)21:39
pleia2indeed21:39
ochosiUnit193: so this might be one of the reasons for your new bandwidth peaks: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/05/xubuntu-core-new-minimal-iso-download21:45
ochosibig blue link at the bottom really invites you to click it21:46
Unit193Yep, saw that one too.  Not looked at the Phoronix one yet.21:56
Unit193See much/any feedback?21:57
pleia2every comment on social media is positive (2 comments on g+, 5 on fb, 1 on twitter that also asked about boot speed)22:02
ochosiyeah, a bit22:02
ochosiquite positive so far22:02
pleia2for the official outlets22:02
ochosisome folks asked what exactly is there (or what isn't)22:02
ochosiwhich is a legit question22:02
pleia240 likes on facebook, 64 +1s on G+ and 7 retweets22:03
pleia2all quite good for those resources22:03
bluesabre:D22:05
bluesabrenice job22:05
ochosievening bluesabre 22:05
drcis -core supported here or in #xubuntu?22:05
ochosiwell, this is not a support channel really22:05
ochosibut i guess since it isn't official yet and if you have technical questions about it..22:06
drcTrue, but I wan't sure when it stopped being in develment and became a release.22:06
ochosihmwell, today i guess :)22:07
drcIs coreLive and core-installed the same (i.e., no repos listed?22:07
bluesabreevening all22:09
bluesabreochosi: saw your mail this morning, will get a proper response on that :)22:09
ochosibluesabre: sure, no rush from my side. just wanted to put it out there. so feel free to take your time22:09
ochosibluesabre: about the libreoffice icons...22:19
ochosii think i could work something out, but it'd be great if we could split that task up a bit22:19
ochosidoing the icon part alone will be quite time consuming, but i'm afraid of having to invest even more time into upstreaming everything22:20
ochosii could see myself handling the icons22:20
ochosieven during this cycle, if needed22:21
* ochosi has a feeling we might end up sticking with LO22:22
bluesabreI was thinking about taking a look at it and see if maybe it would be reasonable to create a gtk icon theme conversion tool22:22
ochosinah, not really22:23
ochosimany special icons that you wont find in a normal gtk icon theme22:23
bluesabreah, gotcha22:23
ochosihttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/icon-themes/human22:23
ochosithis dir alone is not much fun: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/icon-themes/human/cmd22:23
bluesabreO.O22:24
sidiyou guys are almost reddit frontpage :D22:28
sidioh wait, nope, i was in the wrong page :-(22:28
bluesabre:D22:30
bluesabreD:22:30
bluesabreochosi: still seems like there would be quite a bit of overlap with existing icons22:33
bluesabreI might put together something handy for that this week, but don't wait for me on that :)22:35
ochosibluesabre: heh, well, what now, do i wait for your script or do i just port the icons over? :)22:47
bluesabreIf you want to get started go ahead22:49
bluesabreI was thinking I might look into image matching and see if I can get icon names by comparing tango LO theme with tango gtk theme22:49
bluesabreno idea how well that would work, ofc22:50
Unit193bluesabre: Massive uploadds to unstabler. \o/23:01
Unit193Please excuse the typos, laaaaaaaaag.23:01
bluesabre:D23:03
bluesabreUnit193: enjoying the popularity of -core downloads? :D23:03
Unit193Hah, that server is fine.  Uploading kali from loki not so much.23:04
Unit193bluesabre: But yeah, a but. :D23:04
drcwait till the complaints start coming in (and you know they will :)23:05
Unit193Right.  So thanks about the feedback, didn't see them.  As to the difference?  How technical did you need/want?23:06
Unit193drc: Yeeeep, just forward those to bluesabre though! ;)23:07
drcAh...the joys of delegation.23:09
bluesabreah, you're right!23:09
bluesabreI can forward those back to Unit19323:09
bluesabre:D23:09
bluesabre>.>23:09
bluesabre<.<23:09
drca mobius forward?23:09
ochosibluesabre: the question is whether you wanna do more than 1 icon theme i guess. for one, a script might not be worth the effort23:12
ochosianyway, time to sleep 23:12
ochosinight all!23:12
Unit193G'night.23:12
bluesabrenight ochosi23:15
bluesabredepending on how long it takes to do the matching, this might be better for even one23:15
