bluesabremight be time for a break01:47
micahgwow, I haven't been that fortunate :)01:47
bluesabreI'd say I haven't been that fortunate either, considering everything else I could have been doing ;)01:48
knomemicahg, good luck with the stuff and please remember to update the work items once you complete them02:05
knomebe back tomorrow02:05

yakamohello02:53
yakamodoes xubuntu use systemd?02:54
micahgWe're using whichever init system Ubuntu is02:55
micahgso, for 14.04, no; for 15.10, yes02:55
* micahg didn't realize before that comments on MRs now need to be saved...02:56
yakamomicahg: thanks thats good to know02:57
yakamoi thought ubuntu had systemd for a few years03:13
micahgin the repo, not as default init03:16
yakamoah ok03:16
yakamowell im gona have to try out xubuntu i think03:17
micahgit has a nice balance between functional and keeping out of the way IMHO03:17
yakamoim originally a Debian user03:18
yakamoim used to building up a custom system03:18
yakamobut im fed up with that and just want to get to work on my projects these days03:18
micahgtwo review down, one to go03:29
micahgs/review/reviews/03:29
SwissBotmicahg meant: "two reviews down, one to go"03:29
yakamowhat are you reviewing03:30
micahgMerge requests to start building a xubuntu core image03:30
yakamoah ok03:30
yakamoso lots to do then03:31
micahgyeah, I have a backlog about a mile long ;)03:32
yakamoresult is worth it03:33
micahgoh, I don't have much with producing Xubuntu itself anymore unfortunately, here and there I help with uploads and review and am an avid user, here's the wiki with project leads listed, they do a lot more than I do for Xubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Contact, there are many others that help as well 03:34
yakamoevery bit counts though03:36
yakamodam i should get some sleep its way late03:40
micahgok, reviews done04:12
krytarikmicahg: Thanks!04:24
micahgyou're welcome04:24
ochosibluesabre: weeeeeird fix for parole dying on quitting, maybe the same is true for gmusicbrowser (which started to do that last cycle)05:43

bluesabremorning all09:52
bluesabreknome: I have one more request for the tracker (may or may not be related)... can we show historical data for image sizes?09:54
bluesabrecurrent releases and running dev cycle09:55
bluesabreunless there is already a place that does that, ofc09:55
knomebluesabre, where do i get that data?10:01
knomemicahg, thanks! did you have time to peek at the packageset issue?10:03

knomeUnit193: do you know what micahg reviewed? :P10:09
knomeUnit193, and what effects that has on our blueprints...10:10
bluesabrefound the mps on the dev blueprint (where I should have looked)10:15

bluesabresounds like Unit193 only needs to make a few changes10:16
knomeUnit193, do you have a clear idea where to go next with these?10:16
bluesabreso that's good10:16
bluesabreknome: as for image data, could potentially parse cdimage... though I can imagine that to be crap10:18
knomeyes, that's the "obvious" way10:22
knomebut of course, if there was a more elegant way...10:23
knomeat least the path is always same10:23
knomebtw, we should poke people to change our target size10:24
knomebluesabre, would you like to do that on -release?10:24
bluesabreI can do that10:24
bluesabrewhat target size do we want to request?10:25
bluesabre(we're currently over 1G)10:25
knomei don't think it matters too much, i was thinking whether 1.5G is an insane target (since there aren't really devices of that size)10:25
knomeif we want to target a specific device, then it could be 2G10:25
knomebut it could just as well be 1.5G...10:26
knomeas long as we don't get the warnings10:26
knomei mean for the real target size we should likely have a discussion with the team10:26
knomebut i'd rather just dodge the bullets now ASAP10:26
knomebrb10:27
knomeactually, bbiab10:30
knomeok, back10:50

flocculantdidn't notice change in icons on logout dialogue 16:39
flocculantor rather - didn't before - have now or I'd not have commented :D16:40
knomehey cyphermox, we'll need an upload for ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu - i've also merged ubuntu-specific stuff there, so they'll want it too :)18:39
cyphermoxyup, I told GunnarHj I'd do an upload today, still mean to18:46
knomethanks!18:46
cyphermoxjust getting stuff together for other things before I can get to the slideshow18:46

knomeoh great!19:02
knomenice guy, good work19:03
flocculantknome: are we supposed to have ubuntu login icons? 19:26
knomeflocculant, what on earth ARE "ubuntu login icons" ?19:26
flocculanthang on 19:27
flocculanthttp://i.imgur.com/PE73gtQ.png19:28
flocculantthey've turned up recently as far as I can tell 19:29
knomeflocculant, used by default?19:29
flocculantalso don't remember ubuntu mono either19:29
flocculantseems so for the logout dialogue19:29
knomeaha19:29
knomewell for your question, no, i don't think we are supposed to have them19:30
knomemaybe bluesabre can fix that19:30
knomeO:)19:30

knomethat's not the worst thing, but it's not very pretty either..19:32

knomewhy is THAT even in our task?19:33
flocculantoh hang on ... 19:34
flocculantthat might be from me not live :D19:34
knomeno, the task says xubuntu-desktop19:34
knomebut maybe it's because it's gnome default19:34
knomemaybe that is a dependency for something else we want to have19:34
flocculantadwaita? 19:36
knomemm.19:36
flocculantevince-gtk is one19:37
knomeright19:37
flocculantbit mank - don't much like the 'zz' on hibernate 19:37
flocculantnot that I see that anywhere but in vm :p19:38
knomeheh19:38
flocculantthought I was seeing things for a minute tbh :)19:44
flocculantI guess if that's the worse thing we need to worry about atm then we're not doing too badly19:44
knomewe're definitely doing pretty good19:45
flocculantyep 19:45
knomeanother bug fix released thanks to bluesabre and cyphermox 19:45
knomeand with that, another work item too19:45
knomeand since micah reviewed the patches yesterday, one item done and three more can progress19:46
knomeand one of yours might get unblocked soon19:46
flocculantyep - been watching those discussions ;)19:46

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1437180 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Desktop Icons show on the install only desktop" [Medium,Fix released]19:48
knomebtw, did you have anything specific you wanted us to correlate in the survey results?19:50
flocculantiirc was mostly interested in office/media19:50
knomethey were both around 20-25%19:50
knomebut office was with abiword and gnumeric19:50
flocculantyes19:51
flocculant~25% used defaults? 19:51
flocculantassuming so19:51
knomeyep19:51
knomebut what i was actually asking19:52
knomeis if you wanted me to correlate that with something19:52
flocculant/usr/lib/gcc is enormously bigger in wily than trusty 19:52
knomeeg. there was ~70% percent who said they're power users19:52
flocculantmmm 19:53
flocculantnot sure 19:53
knomeso should we check how much of the *non-power-users* were happy with the default selection?19:53
flocculantI'd say so - yes19:53
knomeheh, yeah...19:53
knomeso if you have other similar correlations you'd like to see - just tell me and i'll dig that information up19:53
flocculantas long as our baseline is what I assume - power user will go meh and find/install what they want 19:53
knomeyep19:54
flocculantI think to my mind - the correlations we should work from as a base are the non-power user19:54
knomeso get all results with only non-power-users?19:54
flocculant33MB in trusty, 410 in wily :p19:54
knomealso, what about the small amount that told others maintain their computer?19:55
knomeshould we also leave them out?19:55
flocculantI would 19:55
knomeok19:55
flocculantI would assume that 'they' are power users19:55
flocculantat least more powered up than those repsonding :)19:55
flocculantnot that I've any idea what we'd do if we decided something about gmb 19:58
knomeheh19:58
knomemedia is more than just gmb though19:59
flocculantof course20:00
flocculantshould I report the icon issue so there's something as a record? 20:01
knomesure20:02
flocculantI'll do it from the daily - no fighting with apport and ppa's then :p20:02
knomeheh20:03
flocculantmmm - what package shall I report it against? 20:03
knomeno idea...20:03
knomeare they used after installing as well?20:03
knomeor just at installation?20:03
flocculantnot sure - I'll install it 20:04
knome:)20:04
knomeif only at installation, then probably ubiquity20:04
flocculantmostly just been checking the image works lately20:04
flocculantthat said I do see the same on my machine too 20:06
flocculantbut that's had all sorts done and installed on it 20:06
flocculantknome: nope - installed as well 20:14

knomeslickymaster, if you link to the PDFs from each page, then you can't really do the paragraph21:46
slickymastercan't a sort of a header, or footer, note be added to the xml knome?21:47
knomesure, we can do the links in the header or footer, but there are visual issues with that21:47
knomein the header, it wouldn't look very good with a long text21:48
knomeand in the footer area we already have the navigation icons21:48
knomewould it appear before or after that?21:48
knomeand in the footer, i think it's relatively hidden...21:48
knomewe don't even know how many people would rather use a PDF than the html version21:49
slickymasteryeah, I'm not taking the aesthetics aspect of the solution in consideration21:50
slickymasterthe footer option is to forget, due to the navigation icons21:51
knomealso, if people link to a specific section to the docs, why couldn't the mention there is a PDF version available as well?21:51
knomewhen i point people to the docs, i mention they are also available from the menu21:52
knomeand if they go to the menu and see the docs, they will end up on the front page with the PDF mention21:52
knomeor in other words, are we really overthinking the possibility that somebody might "miss out" on the PDF?21:53
slickymasterno the idea was to give people the chance of getting 'partial' PDFs id wanted21:54
knomeno, you can't get a partial PDF21:54
knomeit would always be the full PDF21:54
knomeunless we started exporting per-chapter PDF's but ugh, what a mess21:54
slickymasterhmm, in that case I misunderstood it21:54
slickymasterbeing that the case, there's no need to discuss it21:55
knomekrytarik, ha! i win!21:55
slickymasterlol21:56

knomenow if only Unit193 got his act together and did the changes micahg asked in his reviews22:04
ochosi:>22:04
ochosiyeah, where's that one hiding i wonder...22:05
knomethen bluesabre could help Unit193 with the sponsoring stuff and then they could ask flocculant to test the core ISO22:05
knomeand maybe krytarik could help with updating his bits and also prod slickymaster to help with testing22:05
knomeso pleia2 could write a blog article about it22:05
ochosinice dependency chain22:06
slickymasterbtw knome we still have the FAQ content to think about22:06

ochosihttps://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/pull/10422:08
* knome checks22:08
ochosiif you can, pls test22:10
ochosiit's fairly easy, just clone to $somedir, then create ~/.themes/Greybird-a11y and ln -s $somedir/xfwm4 to Greybird-a11y22:10
knomei'll put that on my "mental" list for later this week22:10

knomeyep22:12
micahgknome: no, not yet, that's a little more complicated I htink22:12
knomemicahg, what are you referring to?22:13
micahgpackageset issue22:13
knomeok22:13
ochosiwell frankly we should contact whoever pulled in orion to kubuntu and ask them to "return" it to us22:14
ochosior we can also kick it out of shimmer themes22:14
ochosiit's not maintained anymore (by us, or at all, afaik22:14
ochosiso there are some easy solutions22:15
knomewhat was the package through which it got pulled to kubuntu again?22:16
knomeor the chain22:16
micahgthat's not it, the logic around kubuntu is still special cased, where I think it maybe shouldn't be anymore, I still need to dig into it22:17
ochosiright, but can't we just ask nicely?22:18
ochosii mean there must be a responsible person22:18
knomei could ask a kubuntu person if i had the details...22:18
ochosibluesabre: would you be ok with adding another xfwm4 theme to the greybird build? we would need Greybird-a11y to show up as a separate xfwm4 theme like Greybird_compact22:19
knomethat would be nice of us, now that we actually have such22:19
bluesabreochosi: that's easy to do22:20
bluesabreas long as you give me the new theme before thursday ;)22:21
knomebluesabre, notice that you might need sponsoring :P22:21
ochosibluesabre: i can finalize this now22:22

ochosibut the restart one looks a bit dusty next to it22:25
