ochosibluesabre: yeah sure, a patch would be welcome :)11:40
flocculantochosi: some nice images at https://unsplash.com/collections :)11:50
flocculantand hi :)11:50
knomepleia2, just want to make sure you have seen bug 1544314 (because we don't use https as the default/enforced when possible yet)12:38
ubottubug 1544314 in Xubuntu Website "Change links for kubuntu and xubuntu to point to https rather than http" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/154431412:38
knomepleia2, also, we should reply gabor about the flash drive promotion12:50
flocculantbluesabre: trusty .4 is up now 14:08
flocculantmmm - seeing thunar oddity too - plug in a usb drive, then unmount and eject - and it remounts itself - not has that with this thunar version (nor previously)14:14
knomeflocculant, do we plan to do a release announcement for .4?14:17
flocculantknome: I guess we could do a short one14:18
knomeyep14:19
flocculantmight be worth finding out when .5 is - because if it's 2017 then we need to also say it will be the last one :)14:19
* knome checks14:19
knomenot in the release schedule14:20
flocculantindeed - you checked before I could tell you :P)14:20
knomeare we sure there will even be one? i thought .4 was the last one14:20
knomemhm14:20
flocculantI would suspect so - ubuntu will have it till 2019 14:20
knomeright, 12.04 had .5 too..14:21
flocculantyep14:21
knomethat was in august 201414:21
knomeso i would suspect it would happen in august 2016 for 14.04 too14:22
flocculantyep August - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support14:23
knomemm right, that's a completely different beast14:23
knomethough .4 HWE kernel is only supported for 6 months14:24
flocculantregardless of the detail - I would guess .5 will happen in our 3 years - which is all we really need know this week14:25
knomehere's how i look at it:14:25
knomeif the HWE in .4 was supported until the 3 years end, it might be okay not to release .514:25
flocculantyea14:25
flocculantagree14:25
knomemostly because .5 is a completely different kernel line14:26
knome(again)14:26
flocculantthe issue at hand is whether we mention that .4 is the last one we'll see or not14:26
knomethough we already went over the kernel 3.x -> 4.x bump with HWE..14:26
knomei know14:26
flocculantif we can't be sure then we need not mention .5 this week :)14:26
knomebut this is important :)14:26
flocculantyes14:26
flocculantbut not this week it isn't :D14:26
knomebecause ultimately we can decide it's the last one even if .5 happens before the 3y14:27
knomeno, it is because that ^14:27
flocculantwell if we can have that discussion at the next meeting (wed) then we'll know what to announce with .414:28
knomemhm14:28
knomehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#A12.04.5_.2B-_14.04_Hardware_Enablement_Stack_Policies_and_Procedures14:28
knomethat's kind of interesting read too14:28
knomebecause i would imagine the policy with 14.04.5/16.04 kernel is similar14:28
flocculantI would imagine so 14:30
knomei would say we'll want to officially release .5, but i would check with our technical lead too ;)14:31
knome(and i guess it's not the worst situation to not say it's the last one even if it was - opposite to saying it was and then it wasn't)14:32
flocculantyea14:32
knomedkessel, ping14:33
flocculantwhich is probably where we were 15 minutes ago :)14:33
knomehehe14:33
flocculantbiab14:33
flocculantI hope dkessel got music working yesterday :)14:33
knomemm14:34
dkesselknome, flocculant , yes?15:36
dkesselflocculant: sure, setting clementine to als helped. But I didn't need to play music anyway15:38
knomedkessel, my ping is related to the same thing... since you are using the same player as flocculant, would you mind trying to get to answer the questions related to the media manager article series15:39
knomedkessel, fwiw, we're trying to group people who use the same managers to single articles - and you can even see the answers flocculant gave when you log in to the site and go look at the drafts15:40
knome(if you need help with logging etc., just tell me)15:40
dkesselok I will have a look when I get back to the laptop.15:41
knomesure, no critical rush15:41
knome;)15:41
dkesselknome: tried to open the preview page. it gives me "page not found" for https://xubuntu.org/?p=3711&preview=true16:14
flocculantthat's because you're not logged in16:20
dkesseli logged out and in again...16:20
dkesselshouldn't the link be wiki.xubuntu.org/...?16:20
knomeno16:20

flocculantnice upgrade 14.04 to 16.04 crashed18:23
flocculantgood job it was just a vm smoketest18:23
pleia2knome: replied to gabor18:34
pleia2knome: and yeah, I'm subbed to 154431418:34
pleia2I guess it makes sense for an iso download, even though many of the mirrors are not https so there's still a security gap18:36
krytarikThat's not a gap though.18:40
pleia2the user won't be able to tell whether the http download site is being hijacked18:45
pleia2we can link to all the http sites we want ;) if someone is spoofing one of those, it's a problem18:45
pleia2nothing we can do about that though18:46
knomepleia2, i also had some finnish person contact me directly about them not finding *sums from https sites18:50
knomenot just xubuntu, but ubuntu too18:50
* pleia2 nods18:51
* pleia2 fails at g+ but finally gets 14.04.4 test info there and on fb18:54
