[11:35] <fossfreedom_> Hi all - please can someone have a look at our (on behalf of Ubuntu Budgie) zesty patch review request please? TIA https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/budgie-desktop/+bug/1653739
[12:40] <rbasak> fossfreedom_: that looks fine. I didn't think there was any such thing as an "X11 tray icon" though? I was under the impression that they were done via GNOME's stuff or something (as opposed to the indicator infrastructure).
[12:41] <rbasak> fossfreedom_: a second thought: shouldn't this be fixed in our delta against nm-applet, rather than working around it in Budgie?
[12:42] <rbasak> For example is it possible to detect at runtime whether indicators are in use?
[12:48] <fossfreedom_> rbasak: I like the idea of rejigging nm-applet to detect.  However I don't really have an idea how to do this :(
[12:50] <fossfreedom_> I mentioned X11 in the description simply because that is how upstream refers to the tray applet in budgie-desktop.
[12:55] <fossfreedom_> Probably overthinking ... may not be possible to say in nm-applet "is app indicators in use" - the indicator service can be running - but the user might have simply removed the appindicator applet from the desktop.  Sounds to be a bit messy.
[13:06] <rbasak> fossfreedom_: OK. Where do you want me to sponsor the patch from? The attachment is only the quilt patch, not a debdiff, and I want to make sure you get full credit to help for your future upload access :-)
[13:08] <fossfreedom_> ah - ok - I'll generate a debdiff from these instructions (http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/traditional-packaging.html) tonight and attach it to the bug-report.
[13:09] <rbasak> fossfreedom_: OK. Please subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors after you do, and feel free to ping me if it isn't getting done.
[13:09] <fossfreedom_> will do - cheers
[13:11] <rbasak> fossfreedom_: also it may be worth filing a bug against network-manager-applet asking for better handling of this in the long term - if only to have a discussion and find out what the intention is (eg. if everyone else is supposed/required to maintain a delta as a consequence or not).
[13:12] <fossfreedom_> sounds like a very good idea.  Will do that now.
[14:04] <fossfreedom_> Hi all.  please can someone have a look at our (on behalf of Ubuntu Budgie) zesty merge proposal into the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package please? TIA https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+bug/1644976
