ubottubug 1533200 in lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) "Black background at first login" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153320007:21
flocculantnot sure what's causing that - but I guess we don't want to have that for 3 years ... 07:22
flocculantor rather than not sure - can't remember what ochosi said about it ... 07:22
flocculantor even if I misremember that :(07:24
Unit193flocculant: Dang, bummer you got stuck with the CC meeting. :/09:42
Unit193Go well?09:42
dholbachUnit193: I don't think it was that much of an ordeal...09:43
dholbachflocculant did a great job explaining what's currently happening in the xubuntu world and which issues are currently most pressing.09:45
Unit193dholbach: Hah, nothing personal.  Just a bummer it was just him and none of us were there either.09:49
Unit193Howdy.09:49
dholbachah ok :-)09:51
Unit193Though you guys might look just as scary in the morning as knome. ;)09:51
bluesabreflocculant: I'll see if I can get a good look at that this weekend12:00
bluesabreflocculant: can you kick the tires on https://launchpad.net/~catfish-search/+archive/ubuntu/ppa catfish-daily? I'll probably go ahead and push out 1.4.0 this weekend if things seem to check out12:02
bluesabreand work on the greeter, see what I can fix12:02
bluesabreit's one of the worst kinds of bugs, everything is working until it stops12:02
bluesabre:D12:02
flocculantUnit193: hah - no-one scares me :p12:56
flocculantbluesabre: anything in particular this catfish fixes? or just have at it12:57
flocculantand yes I understand that with the bug ... 12:58
flocculantbluesabre: I'll have a see at catfish when I'm really home later - I'm away from early tomorrow till Monday/Tuesday after that12:59
flocculantUnit193: and yea - was ok - other than Daniel and Michael :p13:00

slickymasterWorkgreat15:11
jfaustunfortunately I missed the recent meeting about testing. still not 100% how best to focus my efforts...15:13

slickymasterWorkthanks micahg and jfaust for showing up15:18
jfaustslickymaster, thanks for your help!  Will try to attend the next meeting.15:19
slickymasterWorkare yo subscribed to the xubuntu-devel mailing list, jfaust?15:20
slickymasterWorkif not, I advise to subscribe it15:20
slickymasterWork+ you15:20
jfaustYes, I am subscribed to the mailing list.  Hope to transition from a lurker to a contributor :)15:21
slickymasterWorkyou're more than welcome jfaust 15:27
slickymasterWorkMinutes are up15:34
flocculantjfaust: basically - the question I have is - What position are you in to test? hardware? virtual? the dev version? the released stable version only? 16:57
jfausthi flocculant.  I have a daily build (~1 week old) running in a virtual machine.  Just trying sotware and settings that I typically use.  I have a lot of thunar crashes in 15.10. haven't tried reproducing them in 16.0417:00
flocculantjfaust: ok 17:02
jfaustflocculant: build is actually 3 weeks old.17:02
flocculantlet me gather my thoughts while the kettle boils 17:02
flocculantjfaust: ok so - in vm you could check the latest thunar and try reproducing - add this ppa17:07
flocculanthttps://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xubuntu-staging?field.series_filter=xenial17:07
flocculantmake sure you're updated first though17:07
slickymasterWorkhey flocculant 17:07
slickymasterWork:P17:07
flocculantthen update/upgrade should drag the new thunar and power manager in17:07
flocculantpower manager changes won't be apparent in vm17:08
flocculantxenial is pretty stable atm - unless you're mad enough to use the proposed repos17:08
flocculantperhaps consider a dual boot17:08
flocculantI do that - data is in other partitions17:09
flocculanttesting of the ppa thunar is important currently17:09
flocculanthi slickymasterWork :)17:09
flocculantjfaust: did you see http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/ ? 17:09
flocculantthere are 3 qa sections there17:10
slickymasterWorkflocculant, did you read the backlog yet?17:10
flocculantyep17:10
slickymasterWorkok17:10
flocculantknew there was meeting - knew I'd be driving :)17:10
slickymasterWorkI'll reschedule it during the weekend17:11
slickymasterWorkyou won't be around, I know ;)17:11
flocculant:D17:12
jfaustflocculant: upgrading now, will take a while :) i have read the contributor info., but still a little unsure about where to start.  will check it out again17:12
flocculantslickymasterWork: not back till monday/tuesday but no work next week at all17:13
flocculantjfaust: right 17:13
flocculantjfaust: tbh if you can the best place to start is run a dual boot. Then use the xenial one all the time - then fall back if something breaks17:13
slickymasterWorkyou lucky you, flocculant 17:13
slickymasterWork:P17:13
flocculantjfaust: I've had little to write home about since cycle start tbh17:14
jfaustflocculant: I will focus on thunar.  The crashes in 15.10 are not reproducible for me.  Mostly when renaming files or moving into subfolders.17:14
jfaustI will consider a dual boot.  definitely see the benefit of running 16 as primary17:14
flocculantjfaust: finally - being around on IRC and seeing what's current - and checking those things is useful to us hugely17:15
flocculantjfaust: ok - that'd be really helpful indeed - I'm sure there are people who do so - but we rarely get any feedback 17:15
jfaustflocculant:  sounds good.  still new to IRC.  forgive me lapses in etiquette :)17:16
flocculantoh and also - nothing to stop you running through the priority and mandatory testcases on http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/350/builds/105268/testcases17:16
flocculantjfaust: :) basically enough - assuming you want people to treat you well - treat them the same and you'll be fine :D17:17
flocculantjfaust: aah cool - I see you on the testers team, when you say you're subscribed to mailing list - do you mean the dev one? that'd be the one to be using17:18
jfaustflocculant: sounds great!  thanks for pointing out the testcases.  i think that's what i've been looking for.17:18
flocculantthey are a good way to break yourself into testing 17:19
jfaustflocullant: i am on the dev mailing list also17:19
flocculantbut what we call exploratory testing is much better - and just a fancy name for 'installing and using the dev release on hardware normally' :)17:20
flocculantjfaust: k - the testers/dev list is where 99% of the qa focus is17:20
flocculantand finally finally - if you do have questions - anyone should be able to help you somehow - even if pointing you to who to ask17:21
flocculanthttps://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-qa/+members#active should be the best bets17:22
flocculanttheir IRC names are on their LP pages - mine is the same there as here :)17:22
flocculantsigh 17:23
flocculantso really I shouldn't say finally till the night arrives ...17:23
jfaustflocculant: ok, my plan will be to knock out the test cases first and then do more exploration.  thank you so much for all the help! I need to unplug now.  bye17:23
flocculantjfaust: thanks for the interest :)17:24

flocculantI did CC meeting - brought up usc/g-s, fonts and core22:24
