valutcizenHi08:11
valutcizenI'm looking for person who well known init scripts in initramfs08:12
sidivalutcizen, just my two cents as an outsider but usually user support is in #xubuntu. Is there a specific issue with init scripts shipped in Xubuntu?08:13
valutcizenyes, I need someone to help with init ram disk (i can pay), becouse i want do do something like http://brainder.org/2011/11/29/installing-linux-in-a-file-in-an-ntfs-partition/ but initrd is different from suse or from 201108:15
sidiI think Ubuntu uses Upstart nowadays, not initrd08:41
sidiYou'll get more replies in #xubuntu or #ubuntu than here by the way, this place is mostly for discussing development and packaging issues 08:42
valutcizenok, i will try09:15
flocculantif we can't take donations as Xubuntu - why do Mate get away with it 09:50
knomeflocculant, good question.09:53
knomepleia2, insight plz?09:54
flocculantmorning knome 09:56
flocculantjust happened to come across that 09:56
knome:)09:57
knomei don't think canonical will put a lot of effort to stop that though09:57
knomeor i don't know09:57
flocculantpossibly not - but then there's nothing to stop us doing the same ;)09:57
knomeyeah..09:58
knomei wonder where the policy is set anyway09:58
flocculantnot a clue09:58
knomeor is it related to the trademarks09:58
knomeeg. we can't make money by using their trademark, or they'd lose it09:59
knomekubuntu is getting money outside canonical too, but i don't think that's "wrong"10:00
knomei mean as i understand it, they aren't making money out of it, they are just being paid to work on it10:00
knomewhich is slightly different10:00
Unit193...The MATE one doesn't seem to know what to do with it anyway, but not a bit of it seems to ever to to Ubuntu itself.10:00
flocculantdon't necessarily think it's wrong - just think if others can we should too :)10:00
knomeno i mean i think that's different from MATE10:01
knomeand if what the MATE website says is true, i'm not sure if they are "making money out of ubuntu mate" either10:01
knomethey say it goes to hosting etc.10:01
Unit193And the package maintainer for Fedora, Linux Mint, etc.10:02
knomeright10:02
knomesurely some of the work that kubuntu does helps other OSes too10:02
flocculantI'd assume that's so 10:03
Unit193https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-june-2015-supporters/ specifically looking at that.10:03
knomei wouldn't want to be the one to point out this to canonical, but otoh, it would be nice to know what their stance really is10:05
knomeand that said, we haven't used our previous funds either10:05
Unit193Aha, in April they did donate to Ubuntu, OK.  Eh, I don't know, yeah.10:05
Unit193knome: And more to manage.10:05
knomewell,10:05
knomeif that meant we could pay $100+ for a developer each month, i don't think it was a bad thing10:06
knomeor two developers10:06
flocculantright10:11
knome(now i also acknowledge $100-150 per month isn't huge, but it is something)10:12
knome2-3 board games for example :P :P10:13
flocculant:)10:13
knomethe "system is running on low power" notification should have one more button in addition to "suspend" and "power down"10:30
knome"shut up, i'm plugging in"10:31
knomeor it should be wise enough to disappear when i plug in10:31
Unit193Right click, or exit button.10:31
knomeor left click anything except the buttons10:32
knomei know10:32
Unit193Buuuut yes, not ideal.10:32
Unit193"Shut up, I'm racing the battery and still think I can make it!"10:32
knomethat too10:34
knomeor10:35
knome"Oh poop, I just need to start this presentation for a client so no can do!"10:35
knomeluckily i've never been in that situation10:37
knomebut who knows...10:37
Unit193(For those wondering the end of the story, I didn't make it, it powered off.  I had 3 more minutes.)10:37
knome:P10:38
Unit193(That's one time, I know I've done it more.)10:38
knome:)10:39
bluesabremorning all11:48
knomehey sean11:51
flocculanthi bluesabre 11:54
knomebbl11:58
bluesabrehow are things?12:05
flocculantgood here - you?12:06
bluesabredoing a-ok12:08
flocculant\o/12:08
bluesabretomorrow is a holiday in the US, so hoping to clear out a few more workitems today and tomorrow12:09
flocculantnot seeing anything odd with the ppa xfdesktop btw - so we can have another \o/ 12:09
bluesabrevery cool12:09
flocculantoh right - labour day or something isn't it? 12:09
bluesabremhm12:09
flocculantwork here - a normal labour day :D12:09
bluesabre:D12:09
flocculantsidi: strange thing to send to xubuntu mailing list - especially if "To be eligible, you must: use Unity and Google Chrome/Chromium Browser" :p12:46
sidiflocculant, that's a typo :p im obviously opening it to Xfce12:48
sidilemme fix it12:48
flocculant:)12:48
sidiflocculant, thanks, updated it12:50
sidii have someone already but you're very welcome to sign up for the real study in a few weeks!12:50
* sidi goes lurk back in #shimmer before knome realises12:50
flocculantyea - I've seen you talking about it in here ;)12:51
flocculantcya 12:51
bluesabreochosi: I think overall numix is fine in wily14:37
bluesabreI think my sample application here should help make it clear that its a clutter issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754640 (there's nothing else going on in this file)15:31
ubottuGnome bug 754640 in x11 "UI freezes when clutter initializes" [Major,New]15:31
bluesabrejust remove Clutter.init and it loads ;)15:32
flocculant:)15:44
knomebluesabre, i think i might have the final wallpaper for you16:45
knomebluesabre, did you have the one for plymouth and lightdm already?16:47
ochosibluesabre: ok, then let's keep it as it is16:56
knomebluesabre: if i push new wallpapers to lp:xubuntu-artwork, you'll take care of reviewing and uploading, right?16:57
knomebluesabre, or do you rather want a merge proposal?16:57
knomeochosi, ^ or if you can answer for bluesabre, i'm fine with that too ;)16:57
knomei have the stuff committed and waiting finger on the trigger (enter) with the push command16:58
knomehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu3FTEmN-eg16:59
knome"my finger... is on the button..."17:02
ochosiknome: if you're not sure what you're doing and want a review, do a MR ;)17:11
ochosi(that at least is my policy)17:11
knomeuh oh :P17:13
knomebluesabre, you have a MP to review17:14
knomesetting my wallpaper item as done17:15
ochosii guess we can also mark the numix workitem as done17:17
ochosisince bluesabre said it's ok in wily and getting in a new and fairly untested branch doesn't sound nice (especially since UIF is so close)17:17
knomedone17:17
knomethough numix doesn't likely affect UIF17:18
knomebecause it's not used by default by anything17:18
knomebut if it's ok, then... it's ok17:18
ochosi:)17:18
ochosiknome: btw, there's a greybird MR on github you might be interested in reviewing17:19
ochosiit's for greybird-a1y17:20
knomeaha...17:20
knomei'll see17:20
ochosisomeone ported the greybird icons over to the xfwm4 deco i was working on17:20
knome:)17:20
ochosiwhat sucks a bit if we only ship that as xfwm4 theme without gtk theme is that CSD will look as in "normal" greybird17:21
ochosiso sorta inconsistent17:21
knomeyeah...17:21
knomethere seems to be another MP17:21
ochosioh rly?17:22
ochosii only saw one when i looked on thursday17:22
knomehttps://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/pull/10317:22
knome18 hours ago17:22
bluesabreknome: thanks, I'll take a look17:46
knomebluesabre, cheers17:47
ochosibluesabre: oh wow, i can't remember when we were both online at the same time :D17:47
bluesabreochosi: that's because you get online for about 3 minutes at a time :p17:47
knomeahahahhaaha!17:47
ochosihehe17:47
knomeso true...17:47
ochosiagreed17:48
ochosiwell tonight i might have a few minutes more17:48
knomea bit like slickymasterWork, but not so often17:48
ochosidepending on whether there's work to do and whether anyone else will be around17:48
bluesabrecool17:48
* knome ninjas17:48
bluesabreI'll be around most of the day17:48
knomei'm around as well17:48
knomemicahg, hello?17:48
ochosiwe could almost do an impromptu meeting ;)17:48
bluesabredoing a new mugshot release today most likely, now that I've created a new upstream clutter bug17:49
knomewe can do that17:49
ochosibluesabre: yeah, saw the backlog. nice work on identifyiing that!17:49
ochosii wonder why nobody else seems to be hit by that17:49
ochosior why totem was hit at first and then not anymore17:49
ochosihave any of you tested the new battery icons i pushed to elementary-xfce a while ago?17:50
ochositheyre a port from upstream17:51
ochosigenerally i really like them17:51
ochosidownside is in notifications though they don't look so clear anymore, because the empty part of the battery has a transparent background17:51
ochosiso in our notification colorscheme it's blackish17:51
ochosithen again, it might not be a problem17:52
bluesabreochosi: maybe you can make the batteries non-transparent like you did with the terminal17:52
ochosiwhich is why it'd be great if you could give me a second opinion on this17:52
ochosibluesabre: sure, can do that17:52
ochosibut since it's work, id rather have it tested first ;)17:52
bluesabreright17:53
ochosicould also be that it looks odd when not being transparent17:53
ochosihttp://i.imgur.com/zSO1C9G.png17:54
ochosihttp://i.imgur.com/V50DEkz.png17:54
ochosithat also illustrates it a bit17:54
ochosiguess having the transparent bit being white there in the selected row would also look a tad off17:55
* ochosi already forgot how the old icons looked there17:55
knomeochosi, landed the change you were talking about on the timeline17:56
ochosinice17:57
ochosilooks good!17:57
bluesabreochosi: previous: http://i.imgur.com/SO3eki0.png17:58
knomeUnit193, ping?17:59
ochosibluesabre: i'm on a train atm, i'll be home in 30min, i can look then ;)18:00
ochosi(yeah, it's not loading...918:00
* bluesabre screenshots the screenshot18:01
bluesabre:p18:01
bluesabrenew for comparison: http://i.imgur.com/8X6YeTF.png18:02
ochosilol18:02
ochosiyeah, keep compressing it until it fits in irc ;)18:03
knomecyphermox, xnox: either of you familiar with packageset hacking? we'd like shimmer-themes back to our packageset, since it seems to be snatched by kubuntu... :)18:03
ochosiASCII screenshots18:03
knomei can paste the base64 data for you18:03
knome:P18:03
ochosi:)18:03
bluesabrethat'd be fun18:03
bluesabreplease pm that18:03
ochosiso since you guys have likely seen the shots, what's your take on it?18:04
ochosiis it ok as is?18:04
knomeon what exactly18:04
knomethe bg showing through?18:04
ochosiyeah18:04
knomei don't think it's totally ideal18:04
ochosior more generally: the new icons18:04
knomebut it's not a catastrophe either18:04
ochosi;)18:04
knomenew icons ++18:04
bluesabrewith greybird http://i.imgur.com/dtJPqKD.png18:05
bluesabreits just all blue18:05
knomemaybe the transparent part could be a bit less translucent18:05
knomeyeah, that's a bigger issue18:05
knomeif the translucent "base" was about what the left-side "reflection" is now, then it'd be good i think18:06
ochosithat said, the notifications were what worried me18:06
knomei haven't seen those18:06
ochosis/blue/black/ :>18:07
SwissBotochosi: You did something wrong... Try s/you/me/ or tell me "help sed"18:07
knomeochosi, can you tell me where the svg's are and i can try to do a mockup18:07
knomeochosi, can you load this? http://i.imgur.com/T1onjQG.png18:07
ochosiknome: most recent commit of elementary-xfce18:07
knomedo you see what i'm trying to say about "too much blue"18:08
knomeand "issue"18:08
bluesabreI'd have to deplete my battery more to show a worthwhile notification18:08
ochosiyeah, could load that one18:08
bluesabreor actually18:08
knomeso if the "empty" part of the battery had some more white18:08
knomelike rgba( 255, 255, 255, 0.2 )18:08
knome...18:08
ochosibluesabre: actually notifications mostly are interesting when the state is low ;)18:08
bluesabregimme a sec, I'll make some notifications18:09
bluesabrehttp://i.imgur.com/18AB1M2.png18:12
knomethe second one is problematic...18:12
bluesabreochosi: battery-empty-charging is a symbolic icon, ftr18:12

knomewhy can't i find those icons18:13

knomeochosi, on the tracker, do you expand/collapse the specifications in the overview often?18:35
knomeochosi, obviously you first need to expand them, but the question is if you actually toggle them a lot?18:35
ochosiknome: yeah, that looks good. if you can mod and push that for all of them, that'd be great18:45
ochosiand yeah, i do that usually (expand)18:46

ochosisince all the other views are light too20:50

ochosithere is a slew of icons that i could update, i've prepped it all already21:03
ochosibut i'm not sure i've seen them before21:03
ochosi(then again, i never use software center or the likes)21:03
knomeme neither21:03
ochosi(sorry to be so blunt, but USC looks as bad as when it was first released...)21:04
knomeprobably21:05
knomeso is synaptic actually dying or not?21:05
ochosii think it's the same as it was years ago21:06
ochosinot sure that's actually an answer21:06
ochosi(if it was dying years ago already, it still is..?)21:06
knomedoesn't look like there are very many serious updates21:07
knomea memory leak fix last year21:08
knomein 3+ years, it's come from 0.75.12 to 0.81.321:09
knomethat's something, right?21:09
ochosiit most certainly is... something.21:10
ochosii mean yeah, it's still working21:10
knomeif it wasn't something, it would be nothing!21:10
ochosiso what else would you want21:10

bluesabreI kinda hope the package manager for snappy packages is called21:13
bluesabresnaptic21:13
knome:P21:13
bluesabreI think synaptic is gtk3 now21:14
bluesabrestill custom widgetry, still kinda crappy21:14
bluesabreUSC hasn't really changed at all21:14
knomebut i guess: still so much better than USC...21:14
drcIf synaptic has stopped being updated, is it because it's reached the point where further improvements would not be worth the effort or because it's basically been abandoned (except maybe security updates)?21:14
knomeit's likely a bit of both21:14
