SpassOK, so besides that Whisker Menu bugs that I already reported on bugzilla, seems like Window Buttons plugin could have a issue too03:31
Spassit should be very easy to reproduce, open anything and while that window is active click on Window Button on the panel that represents that window and move cursor away03:32
Spassthe window is still active but now the Window Button shows as it wasn't03:33
Spasstried on couple different themes, someone can confirm?03:34
Spasstested some more, it only appears when I have "Middle click action: Minimize Window" option in the plugin's settings03:39
Spassso it's very minor03:41
Spasssame on 16.04, just checked, but I can only assume it's unlikely that it bothers someone (besides me) and I should just live with it and don't file a bug report on that03:51
flocculantbluesabre: ha ha ha 06:30
ochosiflocculant: so from what i read the thunar patch seems to work well..?06:32
flocculantochosi: yup :)06:33
flocculantI have just seem a comment though about some other issue (maybe)06:33
flocculanthttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1679488/comments/1706:34
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1679488 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar freezes when left inactive for a while" [Undecided,Confirmed]06:34
flocculantno idea if that's patched thunar or current - asked for clarification06:35
flocculantochosi: see Spass's comments above re window button also06:35
flocculantI'm assuming that if not critical - bugs in that sort of thing will liekely be ignored for gtk2 but cared about for gtk3 ?06:36
flocculantif that's the case I can make sure to tell people06:36
ochosiyeah, that's likely going to be the case06:38
flocculantok - thought so - certainly logical :)06:41
ochosiregarding thunar, please keep me updated as i'll have to push the fix to master then at some point and also prep a release06:45
flocculantochosi: ack - just seen a dupe - getting more info there too06:46
flocculantochosi: maybe early next week for me to say ok :)06:46
ochosiyup06:47
ochosithat's ok06:47
ochosibbabl06:47
flocculantso this is fun, firefox (maybe) hangs - ubuntu-bug just sits there, lovely load average, killall appears to work, kill -9 appears to work - but ff process still shows in top - and task manager tells me I have no processes running at all \o/ http://i.imgur.com/0jkZRiW.png07:01
flocculantwondering if in fact it's an issue elsewhere ....07:01
flocculanthad to reboot too 07:07
flocculantSpass: you about uk/europe evening time? 07:29
Spassflocculant: you're asking about my time zone? sorry, my brain does not work properly now08:05
Spassyep, that's the same bug/freeze I had couple hours ago08:06
Spassand I had another weird one recently, with firefox :/08:07
SpassI blame systemd :P JK, I have no idea how systemd really works08:08
Spassand about that 'ubuntu-bug firefox' command. I tried it the second time firefox froze and I got a message that firefox isn't an Ubuntu package so it cannot be reported by this tool, something like that08:12
knomeare you using firefox from a PPA?08:56
Spassno, from zesty repos08:58
Unit193`apt-cache policy firefox | pastebinit`09:10
Spasshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/24419109/09:13
Spassso, I have version from yakkety?09:15
Spasszesty - 52.0.1, all the rest - 52.0.2, according to packages.ubuntu.com09:17
Unit193Yeah, with a few things they really mess up the upgrade path, you can "fix" that one with `apt-get install firefox/zesty`, apt list | grep ed,loc  will show you what other packages you can no longer downlod from repos.09:20
Unit193flocculant: I may have pushed something to a PPA that you won't really care about.09:29
Spassok, now I have "proper" zesty version installed on my system, too bad it's affected by a bug ("crash on startup on Linux") that was fixed in 52.0.2 :P09:31
Unit193Hah, so you don't have PA?09:32
Unit193I'd think 53 would hit soon enough.09:33
Spassyeah, I think/hope the same09:34
Spasslast couple days was pretty buggy for me unfortunately09:36
SpassI hope I'm wrong, but I think that future couple months will be hard for Xubuntu and Xfce (brace yourself, wayland is coming)09:40
Unit193Wayland has been coming for years now...09:41
Unit193Spass: The "downgrading" is so you can report it, if you have an issue I'd "upgrade" back to the yak one.09:42
Spassthx, I'll do that if necessary, I know that Wayland is "old news", but seems like it's getting momentum lately09:44
Unit193Not in Xfce, sooo. :P09:44
sorinello_:))09:48
sorinello_so xubuntu will not switch to wayland from 17.10 ?09:49
Unit193AHah!09:52
SpassI'm just hoping that ubuntu fully embracing the 'gnome way' won't be harmful to Xubuntu, but this could be just my lack of knowledge about ubuntu<>xubuntu relation and dependency09:53
sorinello_:o09:53
sorinello_such a pity09:54
Spasslike, for example (Ubuntu saying) - "We're on GNOME now, so we don't need that, that, and that, we don't need to support that package... and also cut this from repos."09:57
sorinello_I don't think so because there are other distros that are officially supported, like xubuntu. Also, with the adoption of Gnome I imagine the number of supported packages will actually increase to acomodate Gnome09:59
SpassI'm not worried about Ubuntu supporting what's needed for GNOME to work (they must do that obviously), I'm worried about them cutting something useful for Xubuntu10:02
sorinello_don't think so, they usually shouldn't drop anything without a discussion10:02
Spasswhat's with panel indicators for example?10:03
Spassdiscussion is great, but will it be partner<->partner or boss<->employee type of conversation10:05
sorinello_I see it more as a partner partner relation10:05
sorinello_since xubuntu is an official distro10:05
Spassyou have an insight knowledge or you are just a optimist, unlike me :)10:06
sorinello_I consider my self realist10:06
sorinello_they can't just drop something critical because xubuntu won't work no more and it would become a broken distro10:07
sorinello_and officially supported broken distro10:07
sorinello_I am not afraid that as long as there is an efficient communication, this will not happen10:07
Spassyou're probably right10:08
Spassstill, "official distro/flavour" is just a title, given by canonical, they can give they can take10:09
sorinello_it's not in their nature nor interest to do that10:10
sorinello_the recent changes and news regarding Ubuntu are due to Cannonical re-organizing as a business/corporation10:10
SpassI know recent news, they're reorganizing and they're cutting jobs, looking to save costs and become a "real company"10:14
sorinello_yes10:14
sorinello_but they are not stopping anyone to support certain packages10:15
sorinello_my point is that they are not stopping open source communities, they are just re-focusing their business10:15
Unit193My concern would be things growing depends because "Well it works in GNOME" thus becoming less useful, or at least more harmful, to Xubuntu and !GNOME really.  Packages shouldn't just disappear, the ones you'd have to be the most concerned with are Canonical projects (like indicators and lightdm.)10:19
Spassmy concern is strictly about my favourite distro - Xubuntu, I know that other distros (and Xfce) will be alive and well regarding on what's happening at Canonical offices10:20
Unit193However, most of this is more of a discussion for -ot anywho.10:20
Spassyeah, sorry for that Unit19310:20
Spassyou guys probably discussed that hundreds of times already10:22
sorinello_I didn't. I'm a silent watcher of the xubuntu community for 2 years now, but never quite engaged in discussions10:23
SpassI'll try to control my pessimism while on IRC10:23
Spassxfce 13509 is probably a bigger issue, according to comment #310:47
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 13509 in General "Button loses highlight when moving cursor on screen edges" [Normal,Resolved: moved] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1350910:47
flocculantUnit193: which ppa might you have pushed something I won't really care about enough to look at?11:13
ochosiSpass: andrzejr also noticed that bug some days ago and mentioned it (at least i think this is the same issue) ^11:13
Unit193flocculant: xubuntu-staging11:13
flocculantochosi: I've managed to see similar with the gtk3 set 11:13
flocculantUnit193: ooh - ok - cheers :)11:14
flocculanttorrents have slowed down now11:21
Spassochosi: thanks for the info, btw my second name is Andrzej :)11:21
ochosiflocculant: yes, andrzejr reported it against gtk311:34
ochosisome flickering of the plugin11:34
akxwi-daveflocculant:  snap...  60 for 386, 110 for 64..   12:10
Unit193Hmm, when does 14.04 EOL?12:26
akxwi-daveubuntu 14.01 april 2019,  Xubuntu now i think ..   don't e support for 3 years?12:49
akxwi-dave14.01*12:49
akxwi-dave14.04*12:49
akxwi-daveblooming keyboard12:49
flocculantochosi: ok - wasn't positive whether that was gtk2/316:14
flocculantakxwi-dave: testing iso's - encrypt and oem were both optional, see no reason why we shouldn't run once them both16:16
flocculantlubuntu have had an issue where a machine with no internet dodn't install properly - we don't have the issue - I checked, but now there is a install with no internet testcase - wondering whether we have that as run once too16:17
flocculantbluesabre ^^ and anyone else interested enought to comment16:17

flocculantok19:41
flocculantand done19:43
flocculantakxwi-dave: spend a bit of time thinking about package testing - given the odd things we've been seeing of late might be sensible to start that up again19:43
flocculanthopefully we'll see more of that stevehope during the cycle19:45
akxwi-davehave been thinking about that as well..  we really should do a full test on them again, especially as 18.04 is just around the corner19:45
flocculantmmmm19:45
akxwi-davealso get new testers used to seeing the full list of tests..19:46
flocculantyea19:46
akxwi-davei know it will probably be just me testing them ...but hey.. its a start  :-)19:46
flocculantwell - it is sometime since we used a full list - 14.04 I think :)19:47
akxwi-dave:-) probably.. i do remember spending a full day going thru em all19:47

flocculantochosi: I will call it artsy alky just for you :D20:52

knomecurrently, it's basically on the dev server21:14
knomewhat do you need though?21:14
flocculantjust thinking about being more specific 21:15
