bluesabrebaaaaaaaaack01:28
bluesabreUnit193, we can probably say "[xubuntu-dev] Investigate Thunar patches and/or replacement file manager: TODO" is now DONE, right?01:29
bluesabreinvestigated, committed, released :)01:30
Unit193Looks done to meeeee.01:30
bluesabrewoooo!01:32
bluesabreI'll give that doneness to you ;)01:32
Unit193All I did was the packaging. :301:36
bluesabre100 points01:40
bluesabre:D01:40
Unit193What's up?  Anything else I can do?01:40
bluesabrepackaging parole currently01:41
bluesabreif you want whisker or taskman, go for it01:42
Unit193...So I checked xfdesktop4 for bugs it closes, but forgot thunar.  Dang.01:52
Unit193https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 is real fun.01:53
bluesabreoh wow02:07
Unit193Note to self: Don't touch thunar.02:09
bluesabrewow02:20
bluesabreI think it's safe to trust whisker gtk302:21
bluesabreI didn't even know I was running it02:21
bluesabre:D02:21
Unit193Hah.  Can likely just take the packaging from the PPA and fix d/changelog02:22
bluesabreindeed02:22
bluesabreit turns out that you've been doing all the work lately :)02:23
Unit193Well, they kept spitting out releases...  You can just flip the name in d/changelog, I don't mind.02:23
bluesabreUnit193, open xfce4-appfinder and let me know what you see03:20
Unit193This sounds like a trick question.03:20
bluesabre:D03:21
bluesabreI see zero apps03:21
Unit193Oh, you mean appfinder, not xfrun.  I use the latter.  I have no problems with appfinder/4.12.0-2ubuntu203:22
bluesabrehm03:22
bluesabreprobably something broken on my env03:22
bluesabreand virtualbox crapping out03:22

bluesabrebig day for qa tomorrow... ;)03:37
Unit193That's not GTK3?03:41
Unit193Huh.03:44
bluesabreyeah, surprised me too03:44
bluesabreThen I realized I read the release announcement wrong03:44
bluesabre"So far the Gtk3 branch already works and has feature-parity with master."03:44
Unit193I read it a bit ago, nice surprise though.03:45
bluesabrethe xprop like functionality for the processes is pretty sweet03:46
Unit193Backported both to PPA anyway.03:46
bluesabrethanks03:48
bluesabreI think I'll work on getting xfce more appstream friendly next03:49
* Unit193 shrugs.03:50
Unit193bluesabre: Nono!  Work on gpg signing in the release manager! :---D03:50
bluesabregpg anything gets scary quick03:52
Unit193Kidding, presume you've seen the xfce list. :P03:54
bluesabreOh jeez, the xfce release manager needs lots of love04:00
bluesabresoooooo tired04:09
bluesabrenight alllll04:09
Unit193G'nighty, Sean.04:09
flocculantUnit193: out of cave again now ...07:52
flocculantbluesabre Unit193 - thanks for uploads 07:54
flocculantI expect :p07:54
flocculantakxwi-dave: marked 16.04.2 ready07:56
Unit193Sure, have fun.08:00
eladhenHi all, Simon Steinbeiß suggested I ask here how best to help with testing Xfce. He suggested talking with flocculant and akxwi-dave. 08:08
flocculanteladhen: I'm off shortly but, basically we here test xubuntu, which is xfce based - that said lots of xfce people in here and we also test stuff for xfce as and when asked - good place to start would perhaps be chapters 4,5 and 6 of http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/part-subteams.html08:17
eladhenflocculant: I understand that there's a PPA for development packages...08:21
flocculantwell there are ppa's 08:23
Unit193xfce4-gtk3 is likely what he's referring to.08:36
Unit193flocculant: I really hope thunar is still looking good, never really could hit that so can't dogfeed that one, but did the desktop.08:39
Unit193eladhen: We're pushing some of the stable gtk3 ports to the next release, but some of the development releases we're only pushing to ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce4-gtk308:41
eladhenUnit193: will this PPA work on 16.04 or should I install 16.10?09:22
Unit193Doesn't work at all on 16.04, most of the stuff is there for 16.10 but -notifyd is missing.09:23
eladhenUnit193: So you recommend I install 16.10 and use this PPA?09:27
eladhenUnit193: Or should I get a 17.04 ISO (is it available?)09:28
Unit193eladhen: I'm simply telling you what's there and what isn't.  Generally speaking 17.04 will have more of the components already, and has a newer GTK3 version too.09:30
Unit193I'd advise more towards the development release for testing.09:30
flocculanteladhen: as Unit193 said - except I'd say install development version for sure :)11:58
knomebluesabre, ping12:24
knomeor Unit193 works as well if he's lurking12:24
eladhenflocculant: So, to help testing, should I install 17.04 daily and add the ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce4-gtk3?15:08
knomeor akxwi-dave ^16:37
flocculanteladhen: yup16:52
eladhenflocculant: Thanks. Installing it now.16:55
flocculanteladhen: I am assuming you're not constrained with downloads - you'll get updates more or less daily (not massive amounts usually)16:58
eladhenflocculant: I'm not constrained. No problem.16:59
flocculantthen once you've got that set up - I've been testing xfce stuff for ochosi - usually either something from him via git, or master +patches in the 17.04 xubuntu16:59
eladhenflocculant: Hmm... not sure what you just said there...17:02
flocculanteladhen: set up xubuntu 17.04 then we'll talk more :)17:03
flocculantochosi: so how would I get more involved in xfce testing? is there some group? or is just a random bun fight?17:28
eladhenflocculant: OK, finished installing 17.04 and the gtk3 ppa.17:50
flocculanteladhen: ok - so now use it daily - you'll be testing both xubuntu and xfce, watch the mailing list(s), idle in here - you'll see us asking for testing on 'things' as they're required17:54
flocculanteladhen: also - because I don't know exactly what you asked Simon - I'm guessing at what you're aiming at ;)17:54
flocculanteladhen: Simon is ochosi btw17:56
flocculanteladhen: for some examples of what we did lately - we tested thunar with a couple of sets of patches aimed at fixing some bugs, tested a new version of notifyd, new version of taskmanager - just waiting for some more to play with17:58
flocculantin and out for the next hour17:58
eladhenflocculant: OK. I asked simon how I can help in testing Xfce. Where can I get into the relevant mailing list?18:27
flocculanteladhen: ok - so by testing xubuntu development - you are testing xfce. mailing list is in the docs I gave you earlier (xubuntu-devel) and I guess the xfce-devel list at https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev18:36
eladhenflocculant: I'm absolutely fine with testing Xubuntu along the way. :)18:38
Unit193Feature Freeze.18:39
flocculantwell - xubuntu dev version is probably in actuality pretty close to xfce dev version 18:39
flocculanteladhen: and given that Simon got you to talk to either me or akxwi-dave - then I would guess that to be his point of view as well 18:40
flocculantUnit193: yup18:40
Unit193Either that or he said he used Ubuntu.18:40
flocculant:)18:41
eladhenflocculant: Cool18:41
eladhenflocculant: Well, I'm now subscribed to both lists. Thanks for the help and I hope I'll be able to help after a long while of enjoying Xfce. 18:46
Unit193Pretty sure xfce4-settings stuff was somewhat experimental.18:46
flocculantoh yea 18:47
flocculantfound issues in the 'new' 18:47
* flocculant lost track of what he looked at recently :p18:47
Unit193Pushed the new notifyd to PPA.19:05
Unit193Meeting tomorrow 1700 local time work?20:14
knomewhatever that is20:14
knome(:20:14
flocculantlocal to whoever doth read it? 20:14
Unit19322:00:00 UTC 201720:15
knomesounds doable20:15
flocculantyea - wfm20:15
knome(i need my utc clock on the panel right away)20:15
knome(and i need the panel in the right spot too)20:15
flocculantI can manage to -1 for 6 months of the year for utc20:15
flocculantwell for 5.5 months of the year20:15
Unit193I can move it back or forward perhaps too.20:16
knomewell 2/3 is easyish, and i do the conversion in my head but it gives me comfort to see the UTC time too...20:16
flocculantUnit193: that time's fine for me at least 20:16
knome22UTC is better than later20:18
flocculantI'd agree with that20:18
knomeoh, arial20:20
knomeoh wait, wrong channel20:21
flocculant:p20:21
pleia2woo, lovexubuntu goodies made it safely to our winners in Sweden, Bangladesh and Israel20:25
pleia2I expect the Florida one too, but I didn't ask for confirm and that one's in my country... no word from Ukraine, fingers crossed20:25
knome\o/20:26
pleia2I told them to contact me if they don't receive something by March20:26
flocculantnoto ways about it knome - you beat me to the \o/ there20:26
