flocculantochosi: open a terminal - open another - and another - they all open on top of each other01:38
bluesabreflocculant, knome: in case we're doing any notes for the RC, updated app versions between vivid and wily, http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu15-10rc04:15
Unit193Up late, you are.04:18
bluesabrenight all04:18
bluesabre:D04:18
bluesabreUnit193: working on release notes blog post stuff and watching Colbert04:18
Unit193Nice!04:18
bluesabrebut yeah, bed time :D04:19
bluesabrenighty04:19
flocculantbluesabre: they're likely freezing today and then spinning the images tomorrow07:38
flocculantso - no RC notes :p but gives us a week to do the Final ones \o/07:38
flocculantI'll use that pad to build the wiki notes 07:49
bluesabreflocculant: cool10:52
flocculantbluesabre: hey :) 10:56
flocculantdon't forget the meeting you're running tomorrow ;)10:56
bluesabreflocculant: good idea10:56
bluesabre:D10:56
flocculantha ha ha 10:56
flocculantI'll likely be about for both 10:57
bluesabreflocculant: cool10:57
flocculantbluesabre: did you catch my comment a few days ago re parole in ppa and parole in livesession - if not will be getting the parole one for wily? fixes an irritant 10:58
bluesabreflocculant: if you're comfortable with what's in the PPA, I can quickly do a release of 0.8.1 and upload it10:59
flocculantI've not seen anything to question that 11:00
bluesabrealrighty then11:00
flocculantthanks :)11:00
bluesabrewowza, got quite a few translations in there as well11:01
flocculantI assume that's good then :D11:02
flocculantbluesabre: do you see any point in adding changelogs to the wiki release notes - given that's supposed to be the technical one 11:11
bluesabreflocculant: we could, but we should consider which things we want to be verbose about11:12
flocculantok - well how about I spend 30 minutes trudging through - then you remove what you want 11:13
flocculantI'd rather get that done while I've got some time than next week ;)11:13
bluesabreflocculant: makes sense to me11:14
flocculantok - I'll do that *now* then 11:14
bluesabreI've got a few release notes as blog posts on my site for catfish, menulibre, mugshot, xfpanel-switch, https://smdavis.us/11:15
flocculantyep - I was going to use your ones where available - otherwise just the http://changelogs.ubuntu.com one11:16
flocculantactually what I'll do is move ones with your posts to 'major' and the ones with the ubuntu one lower11:16
bluesabresounds good to me11:18
sidi_What's the ML for Xubuntu users?11:23
flocculantxubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com11:23
flocculantbluesabre: middle click on the pad has driven me insane ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/flocculant/sandbox 11:25
flocculantsidi_: ^^^11:25
sidi_flocculant, thanks!11:26
=== sidi_ is now known as sidi
bluesabreyay, release manager didn't crash when doing an xfce release11:41
flocculant:)11:42
davmor2fluke11:44
flocculantbluesabre: ok - so a good start made on those notes now - time for lunch :)11:55
flocculantbluesabre: when you say - New hidden setting to persistently hide the menubar - do you mean hidden until parole is started again? 11:58
flocculanthope so - or I'll be the bearer of bad news again ... 11:59
bluesabreflocculant: ochosi wrote it... :D11:59
flocculantochosi: ^^ ;)11:59
flocculantunless the hidden setting is hidden somewhere ofc - in which case that's working well :p12:00
bluesabreanyway, once I can confirm this build I'll go ahead and upload12:00
bluesabreflocculant: I think its an option from settings editor12:00
bluesabrehide-menubar (bool)12:00
bluesabrejust hiding the menubar is per session, the setting makes it permanent12:00
flocculantmmm - can't see that 12:01
flocculantat least not in settings - parole12:02
flocculanthttp://i.imgur.com/Pl1xNNA.png12:05
flocculantmind you - if this is one of those - it won't change existing files but is good in new installs - then I wouldn't 12:06
bluesabreyeah, its hidden, has to be added12:08
flocculantok - so we'll document that somewhere I assume12:09
bluesabreI can dig around later and let you know what the key is12:09
flocculantfaq page gets a little bit bigger :p12:09
bluesabreyeah, will add it to the parole docs12:09
flocculantbluesabre: I don't use it - but drc might like to know it :)12:09
bluesabreUploading to Ubuntu12:17
flocculantwhat a lovely chap you are 12:18
bluesabreflocculant: Upload, waiting for approval... might want to keep an eye on -release in case there are any questions that need an ack12:18
flocculantyep will do :)12:19
flocculantback shortly - need some lunch and will get the chippy to supply it today :)12:20
bluesabreneed to run to work now, bbl12:23
flocculantcya 12:45
flocculanthttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/150145418:30
ubottuError: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1501454 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1501454). The error has been logged18:30
flocculantmmm - so we're getting these thunar bugs lately - just got it here18:30
flocculantbunch of dupes of a private one18:30
ochosiflocculant: don't worry about the menubar setting, it's false by default and has to be added via xfconf-query or the xfce4-settings-editor19:08
ochosiso those ppl who do that know where to change the setting back ;)19:08
ochosiand yeah, i guess i can confirm the terminal issue you mentioned19:09
flocculantochosi: yep - got the control added here 19:15
flocculanttrying to get parole updated currently :)19:15
flocculantbluesabre did his bit earlier today 19:15
ochosiit's really just a slightly geeky hidden setting for those who want to replace mplayer with parole ;)19:16
flocculant:)19:16
flocculantwell - as much as we can get in now in wily - makes xx simpler as a fix all we can thing I guess 19:16
flocculantand of course once I know about something - it annoys me if I've not got it :D19:17
ochosihehe19:23
ochosisure19:23
flocculantknome: ok - so then that didn't help - what it did was lose all the changes I'd made ... 20:09
knomeflocculant, wut?20:26
flocculant<flocculant> knome: ok so - if I've grabbed the xub docs then done all the build thing to that, how do I then push any changes back? 20:27
flocculant<flocculant> cos - it's all changed now after the build :)20:27
flocculant<knome> make clean20:27
flocculantso that just blitzed all the changes I'd made ;)20:27
knomenope, it should just rm the build dir20:27
knome...which isn't where you should do changes if you did that :P20:28
flocculantwell given the dearth of information on docs - where should I have changed them 20:28
knomeheh, docs on docs20:28
knomeunder desktop-guide/C/*20:28
knomewhich is where the docbook files are located at20:29
knome(yeah, no html editing here, it's just the output format!)20:29
flocculantmmm 20:29
flocculantnot what I see here 20:29
knomehmm?20:29
knomewhat do you see then? :D20:29
flocculantxml 20:30
knomeyeah20:30
knomethat's what you *SHOULD* see20:30
knomeas i said, html is just the output format20:30
knomewe don't edit the docs in html20:30
knome...20:30
flocculantwell I did 20:30
knomehah, well20:30
knomethat's not the usual procedure20:31
knomeand the answer for how do you get the stuff you edited from html to the docs... manually20:31
flocculantwell it might not be - perhaps you could point me to where it says what to do then 20:31
knomeor in other words, "you don't"20:31
* knome looks if we have exact enough docs for docs20:31
flocculantwhere? 20:31
knomewebsite or wiki20:32
knomei can't remember what we say20:32
flocculantwe say nothing 20:32
flocculantjust point to hundreds of links20:32
knomepossible20:32
knomeyep, true20:33
knomebut for some kind of defense, the build dir doesn't exist until you build :)20:33
flocculantand then you find the ubuntu doc wiki pages and it's just 'how did a doc team make things so hard to find' when you get there :|20:33
knomelol20:33
knomethe ubuntu doc wiki pages are awful, i admit20:34
knomewe should sign off from all of that and write our own20:34
knome^ no kidding, i'm totally serious20:34
flocculantanyway - when I can be bothered to do all this again - desktop-guide/C/20:34
knome(even if i have no pants on currently...)20:34
flocculantyea - I would agree with that 20:34
flocculantha ha 20:34
knomeand yes, desktop-guide/C/20:35
flocculantI did say to slickymaster the other day that there should be a simple how to start thing (bzr, packages you need) thing20:35
flocculantok 20:35
knomeyep20:35
knomeslickymaster, you around today?20:35
flocculanton the other hand - I did edit the html for it all properly - at least it all looked correct :D20:36
knome:E20:36
knomegood job20:36
knomethough... docbook is a different beast20:36
knomewell for the best - it's very similar20:36
ochosiUnit193: woot, 1.1.15 uploaded to ubuntu too?20:36
knome"only" different tags20:36
flocculantright 20:36
knomeyou'll get the gist of it quickly20:37
flocculanton the positive side - it's going to be easier to do offline-packages in xml than html ... 20:37
knomelikely so..20:37
Unit193ochosi: No, in http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/gmusicbrowser.git20:37
knomethe html output from our docs is a bit dirty :P20:37
ochosiUnit193: oh ok, i guess it's too late for wily anyway20:38
ochosihmm, almost done with xfce4-notifyd gtk3 support in greybird...20:38
flocculantknome: and the front page? xubuntu-docs/startpage/xubuntu-index-start.htx ?20:39
knomeflocculant, yep, and -end-20:39
flocculantyep - just checking the path ;)20:39
knomebut i'll likely try to push the startpage under the desktop-guide too20:40
knomeso only docbook after that20:40
knomebbiab, sauna20:40
knomeflocculant, this should now be a tad more useful: http://xubuntu.org/contribute/documentation/21:03
flocculant:)21:04
flocculantquick question knome - how to ,strong> or <em> in docbook? 21:05
knomeuhm21:05
knomegood one21:05
knomedepends on the situation21:05
knomedocbook has very semantic tags21:05
flocculantwords withiin a sentence21:05
flocculantspelt properly though 21:06
knomeyeaah, but what are those words for?21:06
knomewe don't do "just emphasis" i think21:06
flocculantyea we do 21:07
knomewhere?21:07
flocculantlike <literal>monkey</literal>21:08
knomeyeah21:08
flocculantso I found out :)21:08
knomeso as you can see21:08
knomeif it's something that's literally like that in the screen, then use <literal>21:08
flocculantso <literallybold> 21:08
knomeif it's an application name, use <application>21:08
flocculant:p21:08
knomeif it's a gui label, use <guilabel>21:08
knomeor if it's a thing the user needs to input, then you should use <userinput>21:09
flocculantempasis 21:10
knomethese things might look similar in the output, but if we decide that we want to change the looks later for a certain thing, we'd better use semantic tags now :P21:10
flocculantright21:10
knomebut don't be too hard on yourself on getting everything right the first time21:11
knomewe'll have to review it anyway :P21:11
flocculantyea of course 21:11
knomebut again, for the better part -21:11
knomethere are examples of pretty much everything you can imagine21:11
knomeso just find another spot on the docs that does what you want, and see what the source says there21:11
knomeand you can't go too much wrong21:12
flocculantyep - that's what I just did 21:12
knomeyep21:12
flocculantnot doing anymore of it twice today though :D21:12
knomeand for the &entities;, check desktop-guide/libs/xubuntu.ent21:12
knomewe're keeping for example all urls there21:12
knomeand just using the entity in the <ulink> tag21:12
knomemenu paths too21:13
knomeyou'll see they can be daunting21:13
knomeok, back to sauna one more time21:14
knomebbiab again21:14
flocculantk - thanks, that's all helpful 21:14
knomenp21:14
knomeaaaahhh21:31
flocculant:)21:33
bluesabreflocculant: any word on parole upload?21:38
bluesabregetting ready to run out again21:39
flocculantbluesabre: I asked in -release earlier - nothing so far, I think infinity is on odd hours :)21:41
bluesabreI saw doko ask if there was an ffe in -devel, didn't know if somebody determined that it really wasnt a new feature21:43
bluesabreI'll try to ping again myself when I get back21:44
flocculantok21:52
