bluesabreflocculant, still unable to reproduce https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parole/+bug/1667786 ... is there a sample file somewhere that I can use to test this? I've thrown a variety of videos at it with no luck01:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1667786 in parole (Ubuntu) "Parole 0.9.0 crashes when skipping any video" [Undecided,New]01:31
flocculantbluesabre: I'll try and find one, though I've not seen it crash - only not skip 07:56
bluesabremorning all10:19
bluesabreflocculant, ah, I thought you'd seen the crash10:19
bluesabredo any videos successfully skip for you, because I have only one example where that does not work10:19
flocculantbluesabre: I appear to see mouse not being able to select a point in a film - have to drag the slider10:47
bluesabreflocculant, so none of this for you, http://imgur.com/a/nHmtJ, not seen that issue before10:52
flocculantbluesabre: yup that's the kiddy - not able to do that here12:01

akxwi-daveplays fine but when skipping with slider the whole of parole just hands and crashes13:40
akxwi-daveWorks fine on 64bit version13:42
akxwi-daveso bug only affecting me on 386 version of zesty13:43
flocculantbluesabre: can crasj 32bit parole with one of those jellyfishy downloads18:22
ochosievening all21:42
bluesabreoh boy, more arch-dependent bugs21:43
knomehullo21:43
ochosiyeah, yuck, we should just close the door on 32bit :]21:43
flocculantochosi: evening :)21:43
flocculantbluesabre: yea ... 21:44
knometbh, that doesn't seem so bad any more; this decision would actually take serious effect at 18.0421:44
bluesabreseems like that's slowly the direction everything is heading21:44
knomeyep21:44
knomeand if we want to give people with 32-bit systems consolidation, we can just say we'll support 16.04 for a bit longer21:45
knometbh, i'm not really sure how much that would even affect us21:45
knomewe haven't been doing any huge backporting operations anyway21:45
knomeso theoreticall if we supported 16.04 for a year or two longer, would that just mean there was a slight traffic bump on #x?21:46
bluesabreI'd imagine so21:46
knomethe amount of support questions doesn't seem too overwhelming at the current rate, even if you considered the questions that are about EOL releases21:46
knome(and tbh, we already kind of reply something to them anyway, just usually not an answer)21:47
knome(like "update to X first, then Y")21:47
flocculantthe only other thing would be people ignoring calls to test at point releases ;)21:52
knomei guess, but isn't our support extending to all the point releases already?21:53
knomeor all minus one?21:53
knomemy point is that there's not much to maintain at that point, and unless something huge lands in, it doesn't seem to affect even testing much (there's not much new to test)21:53
bluesabreyup21:54
Unit193I'd have to switch to something else. :321:59
* bluesabre doesn't want to abandon Unit19322:01
knomedo you want a band on Unit193 then?22:02
knomehowever you interpret that22:02

Unit193knome: To be clear, netbook really isn't that old, it's just something they did with netbooks. :/22:24
knomeyeah...22:24
Unit193The Pentium M is a bit dated, but still works. :P22:25
knomea lot of things still *work*22:25
knomewhether it's sensible for a modern operating system to support everything is a different thing22:25
knomeand what about lubuntu? are they still keeping their 32-bit systems?22:26
Unit193I'd only presume.22:26
knomethey are the ones that want to support the lowest specs here anyway22:26
knomexubuntu has went away from the "lightweight" for a good time already22:26
knomenot to say we don't care about the lower end machines any more, just that we value the benefits from deciding against them here and there enough to do it22:27
knomeor sth22:27
Unit193Not arguing that, just 32bit arch.22:28
knomesure22:28
knomebut you mentioned but netbooks and pentium M22:28
knomeneither of those are in the high end machine group22:28
knomeputting it like that because some of the netbooks might not exactly be in the low end group either... but then i don't have much experience/information on that22:29
Unit193Netbooks tend to be small form factor, generally lower power such that they use less battery.22:30
knomeyep22:30
knomei know that22:30
Unit193Ah, OK.22:30
knomei was just meaning i don't have exact idea if one could call them all low-end machines22:30
Unit193Considering it came with Win 7 or so, I don't see your argument of "Xubuntu is too heavy" a good thing. :P22:30
knomeno no, i specifically wanted to avoid that argument22:31
Unit193Pretty sure you could call at least all the 32bit ones low-end.22:31
knomehence "aren't high end" vs. "are low end"22:31
Unit193Heh, OK.  And in case you missed it, I called the PM dated too. :P22:32
knomeright, so in that regard not being able to support 32-bit netbooks is the same as not being able to support some low-end machines... which we are kind of doing already22:32
knomeyeah, pentium M is dated, i know that22:32
Unit193(Though I'm not putting LXDE on it, Xfce works fine, except xfwm quirks of course.)22:32
knomethat's in the low-end category for sure - just wasn't completely sure about the netbooks22:32
knomeso again, what i was trying to say is that dropping the 32-bit ISO seems to have a lesser effect than it might feel like it does22:33
knomeafter taking a look and think about the 32-bit machines that are the target group for xubuntu22:34
Unit193iooijoij22:35
Unit193...Whoops.22:35
knomeso if we drop the 32-bit ISOs, wouldn't the people with, say, 32-bit 16.10 installations still be able to upgrade (with the arch-dependent bugs)22:35
knomeso we wouldn't be affecting those people immediately by breaking the universe for them, just bits of it22:36
knomeon the other hand, new installations would only kind of be affected starting from 18.04 since we could just point people with 32-bit machines to install 16.0422:36
knomeand also as far as testing goes, if we didn't need to test the 32-bit ISO for the new releases, we would likely be moving that workforce for the 16.04 point releases flocculant was worried about22:37
knomeif we wanted to go with extending the support time as a consolidation22:38
