xubuntu99whey all, so I'm making a custom build of Xubu for a computer project but I can't manage to remaster or generate the iso from a live file system, then how to add persistence after.  Anyone know?02:04
xubuntu99w(to a usb)02:05
xubuntu16whey i'm looking to customize a distro through a live session (make a derivative) then I want to dd a copy of that to an .iso file so that it can be copied as bootable to another drive04:30
xubuntu16wis there a way to do it? dd has failed so far04:30
Unit193fdisk -l file.iso  and check the results.04:35
xubuntu16wokay, and can i use remastersys in v15?04:40
Unit193I'd have no idea, never looked at that.04:40
Unit193That'll at least tell you if it is a hybrid iso.04:42
xubuntu16wbut that misses the question04:43
xubuntu16whow do i make a copy of the live system i am running?04:43
xubuntu83wlooking to generate a xubuntu .iso from within a live filesystem05:32
xubuntu83wanyone know how?05:34

flocculantright - I guess we should 11:26
ochosiflocculant: is that a bug you see in xenial?11:42
flocculantochosi: yea - recently 11:43
knomeochosi, you broke it!11:43
ochosiif so, could you check "open file" in any other gtk3 app?11:43

bluesabreoh god11:43

bluesabreopen file looks bad in other apps11:43
flocculantochosi: yea - open file in fileroller does the same11:43
ochosialright, then it's obvious that it's the sidebar class11:44
ochosii'll look into fixing that asap11:44

bluesabreI should probably get my application in for that this weekend11:57
knomepleia2, no need to react to this, but as you might see, i pushed stuff from contest.xubuntu.org to the dev branch too; we might want to merge the static branch there as well, since i see no real reason to track this stuff separately; feel free to disagree and tell me to push to different branches anyway (with arguments ;))11:57

bluesabrewe are unable to upload to shimmer-themes since its outside of our package set... it used to be ours, but got pulled into Kubuntu and has been stuck there since12:15

gQuigsfrom a discusison on desktop ML... does anyone know if xfce4-volumed still does anything on the xubuntu image (or if it's needed at all anymore..)15:47
gQuigs(from post - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2016-March/004790.html)15:47
knomebluesabre, ochosi, Unit193, sidi: ^15:49
gQuigsit's been removed from debian, so I'm thinking it's no longer needed - but it is still a Recommends of ubuntustudio-desktop-core, xfce4-settings, xubuntu-core, and xubuntu-desktop15:50
sidiRemove it :-)15:51
sidiyou guys use the pulse fork15:51
knomepulse spoon15:51
sidiI cant port the ALSA fork because of a missing interface in GStreamer. I might some day rip/fork gstreamer 0.1 just to get the mixer back and remake a panel plugin and all but who's got time.15:52
sidiI still deeply hate Pulse tho so there's that.15:52
knomeyou're silly.15:52
knomeadded a work item, thanks gQuigs, sidi 15:53
sidiWhat is Martin Pitt's IRC Handle tho?15:53
flocculantpitti15:53

sidihi flocculant ! :-)15:54
gQuigssidi: are you pinging Martin about it on IRC?16:01
knomei'll do that16:02
knomeoh, sidi did already16:02
knomegood good16:02
sidiyeah just wanted to clarify why we use 0.1016:05
knomewell why we.. don't use 0.10 :P16:06
sidiWe, as in sidi, do :p16:06
sidi#pulseovermydeadbody16:06
knomeoh, the royal we16:06
knomei'll remember that on your funeral16:06
gQuigswhy we don't use gst0.10 anymore?16:06
knomegQuigs, it's being deprecated16:07
gQuigsyup I know.. just clarifying the question sidi was asking...16:08
knome17:54  sidi: pitti, hi, regarding 16:09
knomehttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2016-March/004790.html the  reason why xfce4-volumed is still using gst 0.10 is because the  GStreamer devs never ported the mixer interface to gst 1.016:09
knome17:55  sidi: so it's not so much that the projects are dead, but rather  impossible to keep maintained. Still happy for xfce4-volumed to be  shot out of the repos though. I don't have time to work around the  mixer interface's absence and provide a working package.16:09
knomegQuigs, ^16:09
knomei don't think sidi was asking a question :)16:09

slickymasterthanks for uploading bluesabre 19:31
slickymasterflocculant, there's something wrong with your MP19:40
slickymasterdid you actually tried to build it19:40
slickymasterit isn't19:40

flocculantslickymaster: builds fine here19:46
knomeslickymaster, what's the error for you?19:46
slickymasterupon running the exo-open --launch WebBrowser index.html instead of getting 19:47
slickymasterfile:///home/slickymaster/xubuntu-docs/build/index.html in the browser19:48
slickymasterI get http://index.html/19:48
flocculantwell19:48
flocculantI sure as hell don't muck about with terminal commands to run a webpage ;)19:48
knome"[exo] ./index.html" ?19:48
slickymasterlet me try it knome 19:49
slickymasteryeap, that does it19:50
slickymasterbut that souldn't be necessary, or expected, should it19:50
knomewhy not?19:51
knomehow would the browser know you want to open a file and not a website called "index.html" if you give it no clue about your intention?19:51
slickymasterwhy yes?19:51
knomeit's a *web* browser, so browsing the *web* is the default option19:52
knome./ tells the path you want is relative, so it knows to look in the filesystem19:52
slickymasterif I'm already in the foleder where the page is and I'm teeling the browser to just open it19:52
slickymaster* folder19:52
knomeif you are in a directory where you have a file called "google.com", which one would you say the browser should open: the google website or your file?19:53
slickymastermy point is that I never needed until now to give him the relative path19:54
slickymasterwhat changed?19:55
slickymasterif you branch the -docs last re. you don't have to give the relative path19:55
knomei don't think it has anything to do with the docs19:55
knomemaybe the browser has changed the default action?19:56
slickymasterjust tried it with rev. 55119:56
slickymasterno need to a relative path19:56
slickymastersome broswer19:56
slickymaster* same19:56

slickymasteris it possible that it can be related?19:58
slickymasterjust cirios19:58
slickymaster* curious19:58
knomewhat about it?19:58
knomeit seems to be valid markup19:58
knomeso it should produce valid markup19:59

ochosiweird, somehow document templates don't work for me in thunar..21:56
ochosiadded some files to the dir defined as template dir in .config/user-dirs.dirs, nothing shows in the context menu21:56
knomethat always was a bit weird; i remember it worked with the preset directories, but once those were removed, it kind of just stopped working...21:57
flocculantbluesabre and I did talk about presets at the end of wily/beginning of this one - didn't get very far :)21:59
ochosiyeah, meh22:01
ochosiyou can't rename the dir22:01
ochosisomehow it must be hardcoded somewhere in thunar then22:01
ochosiknome: i presume you don't have a finnish installation?22:02
ochosicause i wonder whether it would still have to be "Templates"22:02
knomeochosi, i have a finnish user on my laptop, but i don't think i remember the password22:02
knomebut system-wide, no22:02
ochosihmm22:06
ochosianyway, it seems like it should take the one from the user-dirs.dirs file22:06
knomeyes22:06
knomeshould22:06
flocculantwhat's the problem there though? 22:17
knomedoesn't :P22:20
flocculant:p22:21
flocculantworks fine here - can't be an issue then :p22:21
flocculantwell - with the 2 I have anyway22:21
knomeand did you have a bulgarian UI?22:21
flocculantof course22:21
flocculantis it that Templates ends up being called something else then? 22:22
flocculantnew to me this issue is :)22:22
knomeif it's translated, it's not working apparently22:23
knomemaybe22:23
knomebut if it's anything else than that, and even if that was configured in user-dirs.dirs, it doesn't work22:23
knomethat's what ochosi just reported22:23
flocculantso if I change Templates to Templatess - make sure that  user-dirs.dirs corresponds, run xdg-user-dirs-update, rebooted and now I see templates in Templatess http://i.imgur.com/Hf7hTAQ.png22:33
flocculantunless it was xdg-user-dirs-update --set TEMPLATES ~/Templatess22:34
flocculantregardless - didn't work till I rebooted22:34
