| HoppingMadMan | Am I crazy but the Ubuntu Software Center has been getting bugger and bugger with ever version of Ubuntu | 03:08 |
|---|---|---|
| HoppingMadMan | I find if I try to cue up any more then 10 packages I find it crashes on me | 03:15 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, its being replaced with gnome-software in 16.04 | 03:39 |
| HoppingMadMan | That is good to hear, something has been done | 03:39 |
| HoppingMadMan | Everything I have been reading about 16.04 is getting me excited, I wish they would do something about Unity, maybe drop it all together | 03:42 |
| darkxst | why? lots of people like Unity, and there are the flavours for those that don't | 03:43 |
| HoppingMadMan | Oh I agree, but I feel they really need to work on Unity, it just seem to have its faults and when the community bring it up they tend to ignore it | 03:44 |
| HoppingMadMan | That is my own personal expenses | 03:44 |
| darkxst | well they are mainly working on Unity 8, but there has been work on Unity 7 this cycle also | 03:47 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah, maybe it is going to be better we still have awhile to wait, hold of judgment for Unity 8 till then | 03:48 |
| HoppingMadMan | And at the end of the day, really shouldn't judge as I don't think I could even begin to program a UI | 03:49 |
| darkxst | still, unity 7 has loads of bug fixes coming for the LTS | 03:53 |
| HoppingMadMan | Ok, yeah.. But Linux hay, if you don't like it change it | 03:55 |
| HoppingMadMan | I have been using Linux for such a long time now, I really need to teach myself to be a better programmer so I can give back | 03:56 |
| darkxst | there are plenty of other ways to give back, apart from just programming! | 03:59 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah, see dumb me, I only think about programing. It's just hard to find a place to jump in, or maybe I am not looking in the right places | 03:59 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, testing 16.04 beta next week | 04:00 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah only got the laptop at the moment only, and testing it in a VM is that fare | 04:02 |
| darkxst | and plenty of other areas, documentation/wiki, artwork/design, reporting/triage bugs | 04:03 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, yes VM is ok | 04:03 |
| darkxst | just make sure to report that when adding reports on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ | 04:03 |
| HoppingMadMan | Thanks darkxst, your much kinder than most on IRC | 04:04 |
| darkxst | (beta candidate images will be available monday | 04:04 |
| HoppingMadMan | Cool I will start taking a look | 04:05 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, I think you will find most Ubuntu devs are friendly | 04:11 |
| darkxst | except perhaps in the case where people come along with threats/demands etc that are completely unreasonable! | 04:11 |
| HoppingMadMan | Yeah yeah, hopping when I get back to Australia with the wife, get a bit more time, to do IT stuff and show her all the beautiful places | 04:12 |
| darkxst | HoppingMadMan, where in Aus? I'm near Melbourne | 04:13 |
| HoppingMadMan | I am originally from Adelaide, but now living in Mexico with my wife she was born here | 04:14 |
| darkxst | ah yeh | 04:15 |
| HoppingMadMan | We are going through the visa process | 04:16 |
| HoppingMadMan | And well this government has changed the laws, made it a little harder | 04:17 |
| darkxst | should be easy if you are an Australian citizen? | 04:17 |
| HoppingMadMan | It is and it isn't | 04:17 |
| HoppingMadMan | It's just Mexicans are not trusted around the world sadly | 04:19 |
| darkxst | one of my mates wife is Mexican, but she was here on PR already when they married | 04:19 |
| darkxst | gtg, be back later | 04:19 |
| HoppingMadMan | Ok, I will talk at some point | 04:20 |
| lindol | hi all | 05:14 |
| HoppingMadMan | hey lindol, how are you | 05:23 |
| lindol | HoppingMadMan, hi :) I am some tired because i have drunk last night.. :) | 05:28 |
| lindol | how about you | 05:28 |
| darkxst | ricotz, feel free to test nautilus git snapshot on ppa:darkxst/x320 | 09:24 |
| ricotz | darkxst, what is the reason for doing a snapshot? | 09:41 |
| darkxst | ricotz, they didnt release a tarball since 2 months ago | 09:43 |
| ricotz | darkxst, hmm, did you try to ask why? | 09:45 |
| ricotz | g-i is a similar case though | 09:45 |
| darkxst | not yet | 09:45 |
| ricotz | I might try to do one | 09:45 |
| ricotz | (sometimes specific bugs can delay a release) | 09:46 |
| darkxst | 3.19.2 was the last nautilus release and there has been loads of fixes since then | 09:48 |
| ricotz | I see | 09:48 |
| ricotz | going to push a new gtk+ for this wayland-protocol change | 09:49 |
| darkxst | ricotz, k thanks, yet is a bit broken since debian didnt follow your naming | 09:49 |
| darkxst | s/yet/yeh/ | 09:50 |
| ricotz | appending -dev to an obviously development package made sense | 09:50 |
| darkxst | apparently not for the debian guys ;) | 09:52 |
| ricotz | darkxst, is there something hard-depending on vala 0.31.x yet? | 09:56 |
| ricotz | (I guess only gnome-builder is) | 09:57 |
| darkxst | I've not seen anything | 09:57 |
| darkxst | (not looked at -builder yet) | 09:57 |
| ricotz | due the unification of the vala package I haven't put it in the ppa yet | 09:57 |
| ricotz | in case they can be copied from https://launchpad.net/~vala-team/+archive/ubuntu/next/+packages | 09:58 |
| darkxst | ok | 09:59 |
| ricotz | although it includes a bug-fix for owned delegates which has an positive effect on quite some gir-to-vapi builds | 10:01 |
| darkxst | it should be fine to include it, I imagine most of upstream are building against it? | 10:05 |
| darkxst | jhbuild certainly is | 10:06 |
| ricotz | it should be yeah, I building several projects to test binding updates/changes | 10:06 |
| ricotz | I am .. | 10:07 |
| octoquad | darkxst, hi! What do you think of this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+question/257365 pretty interesting idea, but looks like quite a bit of work. | 11:56 |
| octoquad | darkxst, is this possible or even feasible: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+question/250197 | 12:22 |
| LinDol | hi all | 14:50 |
