jjfrv8ochosi, I was looking over the Thunar docs in their new home and I noticed that where there are multiple screenshots in the same frame, they are stacked instead of side-by-side.00:18
jjfrv8I guess that's not a problem, if you're okay with it. However, in one case where there are three images, the title says "Left, Middle, Right", which might be confusing.00:19
knomecould refer to "first", "second" and "third" image which would pretty much make sense with them stacked or floated side-by-side00:22
jjfrv8Also, in that last section of the FAQ page, the one that was reinstated, there is a reference to a non-existent screenshot.00:22
knomeand hey jjfrv8 :)00:23
jjfrv8knome, yep, that would work. But I was also wondering if it would be better to shrink the images so they would fit the narrower page.00:23
knomeif it affects their legibility (if appropriate), then i don't think so00:24
jjfrv8There is that consideration. One way to get around that is to make them thumbnails which would expand when clicked. But I could see where that might not be ideal.00:26
knomeyeah, and i don't know if the target pages are ideal either00:27
knomei mean, if it's a wiki page for an image, that's always a bit... meh00:27
knomea link to the original image is a bit awkward too00:27
knomeand a lightbox (open in a popup) -style functionality is a tad too much for a wiki imo too00:28
knomewhat i'm trying to say is i personally like images that are readable as is on documentation, unless there is a LOT of them00:28
knome(nope there isn't too much of them in the thunar docs)00:28
jjfrv8Yeah, I kind of figured it's best to leave them as is, but I think we do need to correct that one title over the triple screenie.00:29
jjfrv8I wonder if I could get rights to edit the upstream stuff to save ochosi some work?00:30
knomethat sounds like a very sensible idea :)00:32

ochosijjfrv8: hey! i fixed that thing you mentioned with left, middle, right. i guess the only way to ensure those pics stay in one line is to make them *one* pic. then i guess it's not really needed to write "left, middle right" cause the sequence will make it clear19:48
ochosijjfrv8: about direct access, yeah, generally speaking why not, but then again i think reviews are a good thing and they matter (even though they're exhausting and sometimes take a while - sorry again for that...)19:49

Unit193ochosi: Have you poked your friendly neighborhood Ubuntu CD Image Team member recently? :P20:02
ochosiUnit193: :) no, sorry, wasn't around enough during the day. i had hoped knome would do the poking...20:02
ochosiproblem is i can#t be around during the day atm20:03

flocculantemployers - so job orientated ... 20:04
ochosiyeah, IT's terrible20:04
flocculantyep20:05
flocculantUnit193: still trying to get that done this cycle :)20:05
Unit193flocculant: No, but if we wait until next cycle then there's likely going to be a lot of turnover in those 3 branches, and I do not want to rebase again.20:06
flocculantI can understand that 20:06
ochosiUnit193: i think knome knows a few of the cdimage guys20:07
ochosieither way, pinged cjwatson20:07
ochosiwhat about the other two MRs?20:07
Unit193You pinged the beast. :320:08

Unit193For everything.20:11
flocculantyea20:11
ochosiUnit193: right, so slangasek will take a look at the cdimage part20:13
flocculantI'll be glad once this is on the tracker properly 20:15

flocculantexcept ... https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-qa/+members#active20:17
Unit193That's just testing, that's not so bad.  Speaking of which, I was going to re-install my Xubuntu VM (easier than fixing it at this point), how far off the testcase can you go before it no longer counts? :P20:22
flocculantI'm going to start putting on the milestone release notes that it's not useful to use if a few days after it's released20:22
Unit193Mmmm, but it's at least a fixed spot that worked.  Dalies may or may not.20:23
jjfrv8ochosi, totally agree about the review process. I wasn't thinking of bypassing that, just for taking care of minor things that come up after the review.20:23
jjfrv8Like a couple of typos I discovered :(20:23
ochosijjfrv8: lemme take a look whether i even have rights to give you any rights...20:24
flocculantUnit193: few days after it's more likely that issues in the milestone are gone 20:24
flocculantand it's not necessarily a fixed point that works - it might be a fixed point with known issues :p20:24
ochosijjfrv8: nope, i can't... so yeah, the only way we can fix those is by you pointing them out and me fixing them20:25
Unit193flocculant: FWIW, I'd never use a beta, unless it was the daily. :P20:25
flocculant:D20:25
flocculantthere is talk of flavours being able to start/stop builds 20:26
drcflocculant: you missed his main point: can I install b2 and then just upgrade to 15.10 w/o re-installing.20:26
flocculantdrc: I didn't miss it - just ignored it :)20:26
drcThe b2 vs daily was secondary.20:26
drcah...good man :)20:26
flocculanttrying to stop people think that a milestone is something good weeks later :)20:27
flocculantso - if that ^^ comes off - no need so much for milestones - we could have one a month if we wanted to 20:27
flocculantthough a global freeze is useful ofc20:28
flocculantdrc: I do actually try and read the whole of someone else's help request - unlike some - I'll ignore things if I think it appropriate :D20:32
flocculantand I think the QA lead can appropriately tell someone not to bother :p20:33
flocculantand I don't mean you by 'some' :)20:33

flocculantochosi: ty - replied :)21:18
knomeflocculant, there was some drafting for it in the whiteboard for that blueprint21:30
knomeflocculant, but sure21:30
knomeflocculant, i think it should mostly be what people actually ask though, so digging out logs might come useful21:30
flocculantso perhaps a pad might be useful - people can add when something comes up 21:31

bluesabreflocculant: re https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1504186, is that saying a vm is running as a guest when you try to shutdown the host?21:51
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1504186 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "virtualbox interferes with shutdown,restart or logout" [Undecided,New]21:51
flocculantbluesabre: yea - I'll make it more obvious21:52
bluesabreok, wanted to confirm that :)21:52
flocculantlook now 21:53
bluesabrethanks21:54
bluesabreI'll take a look at that either tonight or tomorrow21:54
flocculantbluesabre: bit off an odd one - if you really need me to install ubuntu to hardware to check it's not us I will - but you'll owe me one :D21:58
bluesabre?22:00
knomekrytarik, basically, two parts:22:01
knome1) he doesn't agree with tho product names22:01
knomeand i agree with that22:01
bluesabreagree with the product names, or agree with disagreeing?22:01
knome2) he said that he'd rather have us create two ISOs within the same product, and pointed out that "desktop" and "dvd" subproduct names are the current convention22:01
flocculantbluesabre: if you want me to install Ubuntu - and vbox and run a vm and see if the same happens I will 22:01
knomebluesabre, agree that we should only have one product name22:01
bluesabreflocculant: I'll let you know after I get a chance to kick it myself :)22:02
flocculantok :)22:02
knometo really lay it out:22:02
flocculantbluesabre: personally the pavucontrol one annoys me much more :D22:02
bluesabreflocculant: and that one I can't reproduce so far22:03
flocculantk22:03
knomeinstead of having both 1) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/* and 2) http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-core/*, just have 1)22:03
knomeand in build dirs, like http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/, simply have desktop and core ISOs listed22:03
knome(in both arches)22:03
knomeand the part about desktop/dvd was that that naming scheme is the convention so far22:04
knomenothing else22:04
knomekrytarik, did that clear it out?22:06
krytarikknome: It makes it more clear to what he's referring to there at least, yes.22:07
flocculantmmm22:08
flocculantonce the 2 iso's are created - does that cause us more work moving forward? 22:09
flocculanteg if we did that - pain now, but none later? 22:09
knomemore work in what sense?22:09
flocculantand we're the 1st flavour to come up with this idea? 22:10
flocculantdoing what has to be done knome 22:10
knomeno, it's been done before22:10
knomelet me dig up an example..22:10
flocculantmy issue here is simple22:10
knomewell the answer is simple too22:11
flocculantI don't understand the detail so don't know if a simple idea = more work for us 22:11
knomeno, no more work than splitting it into two different products either22:11
knomeflocculant, in QA tracker terms, instead of having xubuntu and xubuntu core products, just have xubuntu product and different testsuites for desktop and core22:11
knomeflocculant, does that clear it out?22:11
knomeeg. same amount of maintaining really22:12
knomejust two different ways to achieve it22:12
flocculantmmk22:12
bluesabremakes sense to me, core is just a subset after all22:12
knomeyep22:12
flocculantgiven my position - I'm cool with whatever we do 22:12
knomei can't find an example now22:12
knomebut i figure Unit193 did it like this because there are things like kubuntu-active22:13
flocculantbut I'll always prefer to +1 our easy way 22:13
knomewhich is likely much more different to kubuntu than core to xubuntu is22:13
flocculantcould we not try and have a meeting quickish to hash it out 22:13
bluesabreand krytarik, thanks for pointing it out, will upload -docs once we get the next sync (should be in 8 hours)22:14
knomeactually i think here's an exmaple:22:14
knomehttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/22:14
flocculantif we do - we need to make sure Unit193 and those needing to do stuff can be there22:14
knomelubuntu has daily (which is basically alt), daily-live (which is desktop) and a third one22:15
knomeat least this is what i think we're looking at22:15
knomeso not quite what i explained before22:15
knomebut very close.22:15
bluesabreI'll still do catfish and menulibre tonight, they should be in their final release state22:15
knomethe main point is that all of this is inside lubuntu22:15
knomenot lubuntu and lubuntu-alt and whatever22:16
flocculantknome: no22:16
knomesame for xubuntu and our core - we actually even want it to be all under xubuntu :)22:16
knomeno?22:16
knome:)22:16
flocculantmmm 22:16
flocculantno - yes 22:16
flocculant:D22:16
knomeso that part makes totally sense...22:16
knomethe naming part is just naming22:16
knome:)22:16
flocculantwell they do 32/64 and ppc 22:17
flocculantbut ppc constantly dies and they rarely release at milestone it seems22:17
flocculantbut alt and live22:17
flocculantwe're not looking at that are we 22:17
knomeyes22:18
knomebut not alt and live22:18
flocculantwe're looking at core/main in 2 arch's22:18
knomebut core and desktop22:18
knomebut in meta, the same thing22:18
knomei mean in the meta sense22:18
flocculanteffectively 2 iso's (ignoring arch)22:18
knomeso... yes we are and no we aren't ;)22:18
knomeapparently the ISOs just appear this way now22:19
knomei rmeember seeing them being in the same place before22:19
knomebut maybe that changed at some point22:19
knomebut as i said to slangasek... how and with what name/description we link to ISOs, wherever they reside is a documentation/marketing issue22:20
knomeknome: I'd like to see a proposed patch that does this as two images under the xubuntu product, with whatever code changes you're looking for to support different names that "desktop" and "dvd" if that's the way you're going22:22
knome^ quote from slangasek22:22
knomethe most important line there.22:23
flocculantmmm 22:26
flocculantor this one 22:26
flocculant[21:40] <slangasek> knome: these names are part of the cdimage code, and changing them to something else would require making the code more complicated22:26
knomewell22:26
knomelet's keep on pasting22:26
flocculantwell - paygrades and stuff :)22:27
knomeslangasek: which is not to say I'd veto it22:27
flocculantyea22:27
knomeso... yeah22:27
flocculantI guess what I'm concerned about is that we argue a case, they're not actually that concerned, but have to make a point - the consequence being we don't get this in till late cycle 22:32
flocculantand the follow on - good lord from testing point22:32
knomeputting them under the same product should be relatively easy22:34
knomenaming scheme is another thing, but we can likely even stick with desktop/dvd until we get a serious MP done22:35
flocculantI'm not concerned about the tracker at all 22:36
knomeno22:36
knomesame product also applies to this other thing22:36
knomei was just making an analogy before22:36
flocculantif that's what you mean 22:36
flocculantok :)22:36
knomeit's really close to how we organize stuff in the qa trackers22:37
knomeso i thought it made it clearer for you22:37
flocculantyep22:37
flocculantyea it does :)22:37
knomei'm sure i have just made it worse now ;)22:37
flocculantha ha ha 22:37
flocculant!team | just so you're aware - we will be bringing the package tracker for the LTS cycle22:41

flocculantand that impinges on how I feel about core landing late in XX :)22:41
bluesabreI'd like to get things lined up so that we can have core builds when the x archive opens up22:42
bluesabre(on cdimage, that is)22:42
flocculantyep22:43
bluesabrealso, we should get a meeting lined up for next week22:44
bluesabreto cover last minute items and figure out where we are for x22:44
flocculantbluesabre: I'd agree 22:44
flocculantcould we try and do a weekend one - allow for as many team as possible perhaps22:45
flocculantor - even run a couple - one early and one late 22:46
bluesabreif its this weekend, I can only do very early saturday or mostly anytime sunday22:46
bluesabreoh22:46
bluesabrethats not a bad idea22:46
flocculantjust means that early needs to make sure logs are up I guess 22:46
flocculantif we did it late in the week I could likely be about for both 22:48
bluesabrefinal freeze is 1 week from today22:48
flocculantbluesabre: I'll be starting iso calls early next week pre RC22:49
bluesabreflocculant: cool22:49
flocculantso - if we aimed for 15th - still in b4 release and mid RC 22:50
bluesabreI'll be reviewing bugs sunday/early next week as I have time22:50
flocculantand Fridays I can def be about for early and late22:50
flocculantthough that late - we'd not get a stop on much other than the world stopping I guess 22:51
bluesabreif we could get the world to stop a few hours tonight so I could get some extra zzzs, that'd be lovely23:17
flocculantbluesabre: ok - all done - set one in stone, can move the 2nd about to suit 23:17
flocculantbluesabre: well - you could just say good night :)23:17
