flocculantbluesabre: just installed pcmanfm and caja - not restoring from wastebasket in either of those 07:59
flocculantin addition caja really hates being closed and just restarts itself :D08:00
ochosihehe08:16
ochosiso this is really a very general regression in gvfs then08:16
ochosiif one of you is around during the day tomorrow you could ping seb128 or Laney and let them know about the bug08:17
ochosiit's really odd though that nobody else would've noticed...08:17
ochosibluesabre, flocculant ^08:17
flocculantindeed08:17
flocculantI'll do it the other way later - install thunar/pcfmanfm and caja in ubuntu vm 08:18
ochosithanks flocculant 08:41
flocculantnp08:41
flocculantochosi bluesabre - ok so installed thunar, pcmanfm and caja in ubuntu daily - same issue (Which I expected)08:55
flocculantbluesabre: also - installing thunar in ubuntu - not able to get to it from the dash (search thingummy) it just appears to show thunar-volman (possibly the issue that we had with 2 thunars in menulibre) do you want me to report that? 08:56
flocculantflexiondotorg: just fyi - caja in ubuntu sees the restore from trash fail 08:58
bluesabreflocculant: yeah, that's likely the same issue12:43
bluesabreflocculant: can probably launch it as file manager, maybe12:43
bluesabreand morning all12:55
knomewhat's up bluesabre 12:57
bluesabrenot much12:57
flocculantmorning both :)12:57
knomeheya flocculant 12:57
knomeslow sunday then12:57
bluesabrejust waking up12:57
bluesabrehi flocculant 12:57
flocculantbluesabre: yea - probably - but wasn't that bothered tbh :D12:57
bluesabre:)13:00
flocculantknome: slower now - was a bit busy :)13:00
knomeflocculant, oh13:01
knomebeen really slow for me :P13:02
flocculant:)13:02
knomewoke up late, then have eaten lunch...13:02
knomewatched some telly, playing tetris13:02
knome:D13:02
flocculant:D13:03
knomeyou know, the usual sunday stuff13:05
knomenext i think coffee13:05
knomeand some more food13:05
flocculantthat sounds like a good sunday plan ;)13:13
knometotally13:13
knomeand what kind of plans do you have there?13:13
flocculantbook to pretend to read, an hour of procrastination for this blog post I'm doing, some music to listen to, some more food, beer and feet up :D13:14
knomelol13:15
knomenot a bad plan either13:15
flocculant:)13:15
flocculantochosi bluesabre - whoever pings seb or laney re the restore bug might do the same with the gvfs one, I'd probably think that more important than fiddling with deleted stuff :p13:18
bluesabreflocculant: found an interesting bug, probably related @bar(input):button213:51
bluesabresorry about that, failed paste13:51

bluesabreflocculant: thanks14:46
flocculantnp14:53
bluesabregoing to take a look at the gmb crash today14:56
bluesabresee if I can get to the bottom of it14:56
flocculantok 14:59
flocculantI did have a look after Simon prompting to see if changing backend made a difference - but no change14:59
bluesabreflocculant: from gstreamer to mplayer?15:00
flocculantyea - he thought it might be similar to something else - can't remember offhand now what :D15:01
bluesabredarn15:01
bluesabreit'd be similar to the parole issue with dereferencing on close15:01
flocculantyep - I tried mplayer and mpg123 as well 15:01
bluesabrebut since its not gstreamer, nope15:01
bluesabrewill be more fun to debug15:02
flocculantyea - that was the offhand bit I didn't remember :D15:02
flocculantbluesabre: there is a bug reported 15:04
bluesabreflocculant: have the link for that?15:05

flocculantso just tagged that vivid bug with wily15:06
flocculantbluesabre: simon put a backtrace in one of the dupes if that helps - 143504315:07
flocculantmmm 15:09
flocculantbluesabre: just read a comment in that one ^^ - which I can seem to reproduce 15:09
flocculantjust doing a bit more mucking about here15:10
bluesabreabout the crash only happening in shimmer layout?15:10
flocculantyea15:11
flocculantit did close without crash15:11
flocculantnow it doesn't15:11
flocculantmmm 15:12
flocculantok this is odd 15:12
flocculantany sort of layout other than Lists, Library & Context and it crashes15:13
flocculantopened and closed a dozen times in that layout - no crashes15:14
flocculantbluesabre: don't know if that's much help or just more facepalming for you - but it's what I got to give ;)15:15
bluesabreflocculant: I think that helps15:21
bluesabrethanks!15:22
flocculantnp15:22
flocculantbluesabre: ok - so can confirm that behaviour in live daily - but it's not as simple as 1 works others don't 15:27
flocculantif it helps I can list which work 15:27
bluesabreflocculant: sure15:31

pleia2knome: can you add this to the static repo? http://static.xubuntu.org/news/16:28
* pleia2 continues checking for anything missing16:29
knomepleia2, pushing right now16:31
knome(and yeah, i totally need to make the internet switch)16:31
pleia2ty <316:31
pleia2I think that's the only thing that was missing16:31
knomeok16:31
pleia2once that change syncs, I'll blow away the current /srv/static.xubuntu.org and replace it with `bzr branch lp:xubuntu-website/static-assets /srv/static.xubuntu.org --use-existing-dir` and it'll be all so easy forever more16:32

knomewfm16:37
knomeflocculant, what was the decision for pre-final-beta support agin?16:39
knome+1?16:39
flocculantbecause ubuntu +1 is pants for anything but ubuntu and a bit of kubuntu16:49
knomeno i mean where should people go with their questions pre-final-beta?16:52
flocculantno idea 16:52
flocculanthere maybe16:52
knomehah16:52
knomeughhh16:52
knomeNO16:52
knome:P16:52
flocculant:D16:52
knome"hey, i installed this pre-alpha system and it totally broke everything. developers, HALP?"16:53
knomeNO.16:53
flocculanthah16:53
flocculantyou just need a "Reinstall it" factoid 16:53
knomepeople who help us can totally still ask here16:53
knomeand by that i mean that if you are doing legimitate testing16:53
knomenot just "want the new awesomeness right now and expect others to fix it for you"16:54
flocculantyea - I tend to try to tie up LP and irc where it's possible - unless it's obvious that someone is helping by testing 16:54
knomei don't remember exactly, but doesn't mainbuntu have some kind of "no bugs for development releases before X" policy as well?16:55
flocculantthe +1 channel goes ghostly if you mention xfce 16:55
flocculantno idea - never go that channel16:55
knomenot support, i meant real bugs16:56
flocculantthat's something to do with apport I think 16:56
ali1234what do you mean by "mainbuntu"16:57
ali1234because #ubuntu is exclusively for support anyway16:57
flocculantok " etc/apport/crashdb.conf: Enable crash reports on Launchpad for vivid"  Mon, 26 Jan 16:57
knomeubuntu desktop and core packages16:57
ali1234there's certainly no limitation on reporting bugs in development releases16:58
knomeflocculant, yeah, that too, but i think the same ruling goes for manually reported bugs16:58
ali1234that would be silly. so agin, what do you mean?16:58
knomeyes there are16:58
ali1234apport requires you to be up to date and on official repos, that's it16:58
knomeali1234, whatever.16:59
knomei'm off.16:59
ochosithanks andrzejr 20:07
ochosiflocculant: not wanting to diminish your testing/evidence, but in vivid even list&lib and context layout crashes gmb...20:12
ochosibluesabre: ^20:12
flocculantochosi: ok 20:14
flocculantwonder why it wasn't seen during vivid tests then 20:14
flocculantochosi: must have been ok on 2014-12-07 20:15
flocculantknome: as the only person I know who uses it - do you not see these crashes?20:17
knomeflocculant, nope, but i run vivid still on the desktop (where i use gmb)20:21
flocculantmmm - so on the 7th it was tested and ok ( jjfrv8 wouldn't have not mentioned it) and on the 11th brainwash reported it crashing20:21
knomeif that makes a difference..20:22
flocculantknome: so it works in vivid for you? 20:22
knomeyep - AND i should even be using the version from the repositories :P20:22
flocculantI just booted the vivid image - immediately crashed20:22
knomei can check when i'm on the desktop again20:23
knomefrom which version have you been seeing this?20:23
flocculant1.1.13 in vivid and 1.14 here20:25
knomeok20:25
knomei'll try to remember...20:25
flocculantoh lovely 20:25
knomewhat? :)20:26
knomeme trying to remember?20:26
flocculantnow it crashes with layout it didn't crash with before20:26
knome:D20:26
flocculantno that ^^20:26
knomegreat20:26
flocculant:D20:26
knomeso maybe it's not related to layout options after all..20:26
flocculantyep20:26
knomeoh hello ochosi20:27
flocculantmind you - this install could be all over the place - it does have our ppa's for one20:27
ochosihi knome 20:27
knomeflocculant, and you would not call my install from 2011 with loads of customizations and upgrade-breakages "all over the place"? :P20:28
flocculantha ha ha 20:28
flocculanthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/W/DefaultMediaPlayer20:28
flocculantcopy that to X ;)20:28
knomesure20:28
knomei still don't think gmb is likely the best default player20:29
flocculantright20:29
knomeso it's not like we're refusing to make the switch with ochosi...20:29
flocculantdid you ever get details of what that poll said about media players? 20:30
knomeflocculant, i haven't processed the correlation with non-power-users and the satisfaction about media players yet20:30
flocculantok20:30
knomebut really, i'm pretty sure regardless what the default player was, about 75% would be unhappy about it..20:31
flocculantwell yea - that'll be humans for you 20:31
flocculantknome: I thought apport off might have been what you'd seen :)20:32
knomeyeah, well, good to have that sorted out20:32
flocculantyep20:33
knomethen what is our policy then?20:33
knomeochosi, ping20:33
knomere: where do we point people for support before final beta?20:33
flocculantm/l perhaps - cc the quality one 20:34
knomethat's better than this channel...20:34
ochosithe options are #ubuntu+1, ml,..?20:34
flocculantespecially as supposedly bug squad is *part* of quality now20:35
flocculantochosi: issue with +1 is that it's good for ubuntu/kubuntu - not so much anything else 20:35
knomeochosi, the options are anything we want20:36
bluesabrewe might also test gmb with vivid installed vs vivid updated20:36
bluesabremight have been some library update at the source of all this20:36
knomeochosi, it's just about a social agreement20:36
flocculantbluesabre: vivid from the live session - immediate crash20:37
knomeand if we had that policy, we could post it to the website, so people could know it before they came to place X telling about their pre-alpha crashes20:37
flocculantbluesabre: also 4 days between package test pass and bug report20:37
flocculantknome: but we'd really want any talking to include bug # 20:38
bluesabreflocculant: good to know20:38
knomeflocculant, sure, we can tell them that too20:38
knomeflocculant, though as you know, we can tell people this and that, and they might still just do the other20:38
flocculantknome: yea ofc - but if there's a 'policy' at least we can complain a bit while helping 20:39
knomeyep20:39
flocculantand the more we tell people - hopefully ... 20:39
knomei was thinking about a page under the developer area20:39
flocculantI'd hold fire on that20:39
knomeand then in the support page, say sth like "For support on development releases, see X"20:39
knomesure, i'm not pushing anything out now20:39
flocculantI'm half way through this 'tome' I'm doing - might be better not being just a site blog post20:40
bluesabrewe can also have a dev faq on the wiki... "Known installation issues", etc20:40
knome:)20:40
flocculanttrying to get everything in one place somewhere 20:40
knomepleia2, oh haha! apparently, i've dropped stuff we need in extras.css!20:41
knomepleia2, sorry! :)20:41
ochosisry, was afk again...20:42
flocculant:)20:42
knomeochosi, no problem...20:42
ochosiso how big is this issue? how many are showing up at our doorsteps with these issues?20:42
ochosi(just so i know what we're dealing with)20:42
ochosiand hi bluesabre 20:43
bluesabrehey ochosi20:43
bluesabrebrb20:43
knomei've seen maybe about 5 this cycle20:43
ochosibluesabre: i think it might be something like a library update. there definitely were o such gmb crashes pre-vivid20:43
flocculantochosi: if you mean the help pre beta - then hardly any 20:43
knomeit's not a huge amount i guess, but otoh, it feels stupid to have no place to point them at20:43
knomesince if we do only final beta and later support in #x, that means we don't do pre-final-beta support there20:44
ochosiso were those issues mostly xubuntu-specific i presume?20:44
knomedoes that mean there IS no pre-final-beta support?20:44
knometbh i can't remember20:44
knomeand didn't dig too deep into them20:44
flocculantochosi: 1 I saw was quite generic, 1 was more us that I remember20:45
ochosiyeah, from my pov there is no support for pre-final-beta. if ppl come i would expect them to "report bugs", not look for help20:45
knomeshould we point them to #ubuntu+1 at all?20:45
knomeor just tell them to file bugs?20:45
knomeand if they file bugs, should they notify us on the mailing list of them or sth?20:46
flocculantI'd not expect us to support as such - but maybe support with what they're possible steps are I would20:46
ochosiso i wouldn't set up a separate place for them. if they wanna report an issue that is xubuntu specific (but are too lazy for LP) they could tell us about that here20:46
knomebut meh20:46
knomeochosi, i'm actually actively opposed to THAT20:46
knomei'm not opposed to helping people why actually help us with testing/qa and stuff on this channel20:46
ochosigetting to know like this is better than not at all20:46
flocculantI don't see an issue if someone who's actively testing for us being able to pop here or m/l 20:47
knomebut i don't want the average joe to come here and whine about his broken pre-alpha installation20:47
ochosiwell naturally20:47
flocculantthat ^^20:47
ochosithat was not what i was suggesting20:47
knomewell... you kind of were ;)20:47
knomeis "i reported a bug" enough to warrant them whining here?20:47
ochosiif there are bugs, they can come here, and we send them to launchpad. if they don't end up filing bugreports at least we heard about it here20:47
knomewhat about this:20:48
knomepre-beta, if you're clearly not actively involved, we tell them to report bugs and send a mail to the mailing list20:48
knomethat way we can also get the traffic archived20:48
knomebecause people can chime in and say "me too" or "not me" - and it doesn't get buried in endless irc logs20:48
ochosiright, it gets buried in ml archives instead :)20:49
flocculantyep - and people can at least suggest things20:49
knomebut it's easily findable.20:49
flocculantwell we could ask people to sensibly title thread 20:49
knomeif a stranger reports a critical bug, we can THEN always ask them to join us here20:49
ochosilook, i don't mind either way. obviously we're not discussing where to send "masses of ppl" for support, so i think this is no biggie20:49
knomeochosi, my point here is that if support for final beta is at #x, then i don't see why pre-final would be here20:50
knomebecause at that point, all non-released support should be here20:50
knomebecause it makes no sense to suddenly drag it away from here20:50
ochosiyeah, but as i said i don't think there should be generic pre-final support at all. yeah fine, if ppl are involved then naturally they will discuss this sort of stuff here. but the average joe user shouldn't get help "fixing his alpha install" because he shouldn't depend on it anyway20:51
ochosiunless he wants to actually fix a bug, not the install20:51
knomeyes. absolutely.20:51
knomeso what do we say for the average joes?20:51
knomedo we tell them to file bugs and hope we find them later?20:52
ochosifile bugs, tag them20:52
knomeok20:52
knomeshould they go with the exploratory testing tags?20:52
ochosibut not bugs like "my bluetooth headset doesnt work with xubuntu x alpha anymore"20:52
ochosii'd personally mostly be interested in things that can be fixed by us or that affect our basic user experience20:53
flocculantwe need clear guidance on what;s us and what's general buntu 20:53
ochosii think it's hard to draw that line. if there's a bug in gtk (or gvfs) it affects everyone20:54
ochosi(well not kubuntu)20:54
flocculantthen it's simple - if it's us - mail us, use this tag20:54
ochosiyup20:54
flocculantyes - but some things are obviously us 20:54
ochosimore or less. and the borderline cases won't be the majority i guess20:54
flocculantanything else - quality m/l and lp20:54
knomeavg joe can't know the line20:55
knomeand it's totally really hard to draw20:55
flocculantnot for the obvious things it's not20:55
knomeno20:55
knomebut for all things20:55
flocculantso a short list of tell us - anything else elsewhere20:55
knometell us - on the ml?20:56
flocculantdon't see why not 20:56
knomeok20:56
knomei'll write a draft at some point then20:56
knomeanother question:20:56
flocculanthow long is list going to be of things we can directly do something about 20:56
knomedo we need http://xubuntu.org/dev/calendar/ any more?20:56
flocculantI'd say no - we have that on tracker now20:57
ochosisry folks, gotta get some sleep20:59
bluesabreback20:59
flocculantgood night ochosi :)20:59
knomeochosi, np - i know you need it :P20:59
knomeochosi, nighty!20:59
bluesabrenighty ochosi20:59
ochosithanks, ttyl :)20:59
ochosibluesabre: xfce4-panel patch is upstream btw, so i hope translations for it land soon20:59
bluesabreochosi: great, will sync any translations before freeze21:00
knomebluesabre, i take that applies to any other packages as well :P21:01
bluesabremhm21:01
bluesabreochosi: you need better examples, we would want to know if bluetooth breaks since ubuntu flavors (but not ubuntu) ship blueman21:02
bluesabrewe're in a good position to support that ;)21:03
bluesabre... and I think I did the last upload of that... :D21:04
flocculantI guess that's what we need to know - things we're in a position to support :)21:04
bluesabreit might be a good idea to have a list of things we have instead of ubuntu, so we can request tests with the other application21:05
bluesabreparole broken - test totem to see if it works first21:06
flocculantyep21:06
bluesabrecant delete a file in thunar, how about nautilus21:06
bluesabre:D21:06
flocculantquite a bit of thinking about this to do :)21:07
bluesabreyeah21:07
flocculantbluesabre: yea exactly 21:07
flocculantI always breathe a sigh of relief when ubuntu breaks the same way :D21:07
bluesabreme too21:07
bluesabreI'm ok at developing, awful at debugging21:07
bluesabregetting better21:08
bluesabrebut still so so bad21:08
flocculantthat's something I wish I was better at - if only to take some load off 21:08
flocculantanyway - bed for me I think - night all :)21:11
knomenighty flocculant 21:11
bluesabrenight flocculant 21:11
knomebluesabre, does "uninterruptible power supply" mean "power supply that can not be uninterrupted"21:12
knomeor is there another meaning for "uninterrupted"21:12
knomei mean "can not be interrupted"21:12
knomeand what does that really even mean?21:12
pleia2knome: did you need to add it back? i can update it when needed21:16
pleia2on my phone now, but can ssh ;)21:17
knomepleia2, it's ok for now, we might do that stuff in another way soon anyway21:17
knomeand i fixed the obvious fail already21:17
pleia2ok, thanks :)21:17
bluesabreknome: that's basically a battery that stays charged by the wall and provides continuous power output, even during brownouts or power outages21:18
bluesabreor is this a monty python sketch?21:18
knomebluesabre, nope... :P21:19
knomebluesabre, this is translating to finnish..21:19
bluesabreI have one next to my desk21:19
bluesabresaves us a lot of headache21:19
knomeoh...21:19
knomea lamp just lit up over the top of my head21:20
knomeUPS!21:20
* bluesabre nods21:20
knomeof course21:20
knomenow it makes perfect sense21:20
