bluesabreochosi: similar to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-appfinder/4.12.0-2ubuntu1, can you go through and replace gtk-find and gtk-executre with edit-find and system-run respectively for xfce4-appfinder in git?03:19
bluesabrenighty all03:19
Unit193bluesabre: See #xfce-dev.03:56
ochosiknome: yes ;)07:37
ochosibluesabre: ok, i'07:37
ochosibluesabre: ok, i'll try not to forget07:38
flocculantquick hi ochosi :)07:39
ochosihey flocculant 07:39
flocculantochosi: final beta later this week if you get chance to check an image :)07:41
ochosiflocculant: yup, i'll try!09:33
knomeso we have scheduled the first media manager article for this week10:08
knomebut also the contest announcement10:09
knomei'll likely bump the media manager stuff to either tue+wed, or starting from next week10:09
knome(we have time to postpone by one week)10:09
knomeis 'apt' now the recommended command for command-line package management?10:10
ochosiknome: +1 on contest announcement this week and postponing the articles ;)10:25
dkesselknome: recommended - i don't know; but it draws sexy progress bars :D10:38
ochosii've recently started using apt over apt-get10:42
knomeby recommended i mean that the serverguide just switched to that, and many more articles i've read use it rather than apt-get10:51
bluesabreif it's recommended, I'd still not recommend having that in our documentation until next release11:06
bluesabreknome: if you need me to do some more writing for the media manager article, let me know11:06
bluesabreflocculant: I had an idea for the templates, I'll see if I can get something together tonight11:06
bluesabreochosi: fancy drawing an svg for xfce4-notifyd? http://appstream.ubuntu.com/xenial/universe/issues/xfce4-notifyd.html The icon it ships is a 48x48 png, but we need at least 64x64 for appstream to pick it up11:10
knomebluesabre, the cloud stuff please11:31
knomebluesabre, it hasn't even been started11:32
knomewell, i mean11:32
knomethe part where people talk about them11:32
knomereminder: http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-mm-cloud11:32
knomewe just happened to watch a local tv show where three people tested three cloud services (spotify, deezer and groove (formerly xbox music)) and deezer won that comparison; maybe we should look into adding that to the list too11:33
bluesabreknome: will work on that tonight12:03

flocculantubuntu one is sso now - might have been a bug way back - but people keep pointlessly adding it to the tracker - not sure why? 17:34
cosimo_Hello. I am the "unable to help" guy who gets stressed exponentially for every e-mail I get from David Pires, and Pasi asking for a last effort to translate. 19:24
cosimo_Just for the record I give up. 19:25
cosimo_Whoever is in charge should totally revise the procedure for entering in the LoCo teams19:25
krytarikcosimo_: You seem to have very little patience too, though.19:28
cosimo_8 days for getting any answer from anybody for helping translate the missing strings?19:31
dkesselslickymaster: I don't think there is a Turkish trans19:34
dkessel..lation template for xubuntu-docs19:34
flocculantcosimo_: have you tried contacting David Planella? 19:39
flocculantI'd mail him at the canonical address shown on his LP page - he's supposedly an admin on the catalan translators - https://launchpad.net/~dpm19:42
flocculantmhall119: is dpm on vacation or anything? 19:42
flocculantcosimo_: not that anyone should have to chase around to do this stuff :(19:42
cosimo_flocculant:  yes, i tried contacting him directly. But still no answer. And again, I'm not impatient, is just that there is a real "need" for help translating, but timeforce is wasted19:50
flocculantyea understood19:51
flocculanthe might be away - no idea tbh19:51
mhall119no, but it's past his EOD20:00
flocculantmhall119: yea realise that 20:01
flocculantcosimo_: so david planella is about - just not responding I guess20:02
flocculanthard to know what to do about that20:02
mhall119email him again, he does a lot of different things these days, it's easy for things to get put aside and lost20:03
flocculantyea for sure20:21
flocculantmhall119: it's part of a larger generic issue seemingly though - not specifically him :)20:21
flocculantnightmare to get people approved for translations apparently20:22
cosimo_flocculant: The problem is simple. IMHO. Approvals can't be held only by one person in the LoCo. There should be an easier way to enter, and start working on translations right away. Then code can (or should) be revised, ok. 20:23
knomewell i just got a mail from david about a different thing today, so he's totally back after weekend20:23
cosimo_but at least, people who want to translate, can. 20:24
knomecosimo_, i agree with what you're saying20:24
flocculantcosimo_: it's not one person - there are actually 3 admins on the catalan translators20:27
flocculantit's just more likely to get hold of David - he's in the ubuntu community team20:28
ochosibluesabre: here you go: https://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce/commit/ebd2132be0df7f51d151f9e270304013124b894d (not sure where you wanted it)20:52
flocculantochosi: good evening :)20:53
ochosihey everyone20:53
knomehey ochosi 20:55
knomeochosi, the mailing list is now in the dev.xubuntu.org menu, when is the article stuff written?20:56
knome(:20:56
ochosibluesabre: also, i've patched the two desktop.in files and updated the icon names, that was all you did there, right?21:03
ochosiknome: ok, i've put comparable effort into the article already ;)21:03
ochosiknome: also, integrate the ML with the rest of the website ;)21:04
ochosi(actually it's already the prettiest mailman page i've seen)21:04
knomei know it is; it's the only one that has been edited the least i have seen...21:04
knomeand as we all know, mailman isn't pretty by default...21:04
knomei'm actually really surprised there isn't a simple option to apply some CSS file to *all* of the files in mailmain21:05
knome*mailman21:05
knomeor maybe there is, but not with IS hosting21:05
knomeanyway, your time just got extended by a week21:10
knomei need your input on the article by april 421:10
knomeconsider that a very hard deadline21:10
krytarikcosimo_: Just making sure, do you actually know how the translation process works? - https://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/translations/21:15
ali1234can't anybody send "merge requests" for translations?21:15
krytarikWell, that's how LXQt is doing it currently. :321:16
cosimo_hi krytarik, thanks for the info. Knew the basics, but all info is always welcome, so, thanks!21:21
krytarikSure.21:21
krytarikBut yes, getting the translations approved can be a bottle neck.21:22
cosimo_flocculant: , so if there are 3 admins is even worse. 21:22
krytarikali1234: Not to mention that it doesn't really work that way for them - it's just because the translation system is currently broken.21:23
jpt9Hey.  Quick question -- I'm currently running Xubuntu 15.10, and I noticed that at least for the beta, there are issues upgrading to 16.04...21:24
jpt9Any idea if they will be fixed by the time 16.04 comes out?21:24
knomei think it's a problem for any team to have stale set of administrators21:24
knomeespecially if it's a team other people are semi-regularly supposed to join21:25
knomejpt9, that's the plan obviously21:25
flocculantjpt9: issues woth upgrading are from 14.04, in tests with a basic 15.10 the upgrade has worked fine21:25
cosimo_I remember participating in the translation of Viber, to Catalan. The process was amazing. Register in the website, and start right away translating. All translations had to be approved by a number of people before being considered as "good"21:26
cosimo_got the App fully translated in 2 days21:26
jpt9Ah.  Good to know.  Just figured I'd check.21:26
cosimo_no admins, blocking anything. 21:27
cosimo_just a well organised system. 21:27
ochosiknome: humm, i've only used spotify myself of those streaming apps you list there and for me there isn't much more to say about it than what you wrote... there are some players for streaming that one could mention (nuvola or tomahawk) but i haven't really used either myself so i'm not sure copy-pasting from other reviews is what we want)21:27
knomeochosi, nooo21:28
knomeochosi, let me paste you a decent link21:28
knomeochosi, i'd like your input on this one: https://xubuntu.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=3744&action=edit21:28
knomecosimo_, while i totally empathise with your situation and want to fix the process (and have taken action to do so), i really think it might be time to stop telling us how bad the process is (especially as we can't do any more about it as we have)21:29
ochosiknome: oh noes, interviews? really, the problem i have is: i don't currently play music on my laptop anymore - which is why i moved to streaming apps on my phone paired with a google chromecast audio...21:30
ochosii did use the spotify desktop app for some time, but even that one i haven't used in quite a while21:31
ochosii rarely sit at home and have to time to browse and/or listen to music ;)21:31
knomeochosi, actually, i'd be happy if you wrote a bit about shimmer for gmb and added some quick answers for others21:32
knomeochosi, as i said, it'd be good for the series if you pretended you had the time :P21:32
flocculantnight peeps21:49
krytarikG'night, flocculant.21:49
knomenighty21:50
cosimo_ok got it knome. 21:52
knomecosimo_, also, as krytarik pointed out, you can start sending suggestions also21:52
knome*already21:52
cosimo_did that too. So, time to wait. Thanks everyone again and sorry for my long complaints ;)21:54
cosimo_bona nit a tothom. (that's good night everyone in catalan)21:54
slickymasterknome, do you know how do we add languages to https://translations.launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs?21:59
slickymasterflocculant, I didn't set it as such21:59
knomeslickymaster, the people who have set language X should always see that on the list as available22:00
knome...set language X as their "known" language in LP that is22:00
slickymasterI'm referring to a non existing idiom there, knome 22:00
knomei believe the list that is visible is the list of languages that have had any activity on them ever 22:01
knomewhich one is missing?22:01
