| knome | haha! i was here before Unit193 | 21:13 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | (: | 21:13 |
| knome | and flocculant... | 21:13 |
| knome | elopio, can we see the questions asked on the website here or somewhere else? | 21:13 |
| knome | elopio, and will you actively monitor this channel too? | 21:14 |
| elopio | knome: I will keep an eye here for questions. | 21:15 |
| knome | elopio, cheers. | 21:16 |
| elopio | and there's a box in ubuntuonair.com that lets people join this channel from the browser. | 21:16 |
| knome | right | 21:16 |
| knome | so the questions COME here directly? | 21:16 |
| elopio | knome: yes | 21:37 |
| knome | ok, great | 21:37 |
| knome | 10th anniversary for xubuntu last year! | 22:03 |
| CoderEurope | \o/ | 22:03 |
| knome | Xubuntu Strategy Document: https://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/xsd.html | 22:04 |
| Unit193 | (tl;dr: It's not geared towards lightweight, but it does work well on some older hardware.) | 22:05 |
| knome | migrated to libreoffice with 15.10 | 22:07 |
| knome | bluesabre also coded the launcher app! | 22:09 |
| CoderEurope | Question: Why doesn't catfish keep a log-scan file of the system for faster searches in Xubuntu ? | 22:09 |
| Unit193 | catfish can use mlocate as a backend. | 22:09 |
| knome | bluesabre, read the answer too! (: | 22:10 |
| knome | a lot of xubuntu stuff is very customizable, so even if the defaults don't work for you it's relatively easy to accommodate | 22:13 |
| knome | gtk-theme-config! | 22:13 |
| Unit193 | xfpanel-switch makes it even easier for xfce4-panel. | 22:13 |
| CoderEurope | How many themes does Xubuntu have ? | 22:13 |
| knome | a few, but you can use any GTK themes around. | 22:13 |
| CoderEurope | okay thanks | 22:14 |
| Unit193 | Xfce uses a mix of GTK2 and GTK3, so you'll want a theme that covers both. Shimmer themes (Greybird, Numix, etc) are great choices. | 22:14 |
| knome | ^ Greybird is the default | 22:14 |
| CoderEurope | Is there any plans to migrate to Qt ? | 22:14 |
| knome | no. | 22:14 |
| CoderEurope | sorry I am unaware | 22:14 |
| knome | Xfce is currently migrating to GTK3 | 22:14 |
| CoderEurope | okay thanks. | 22:15 |
| Unit193 | And to that end there's a PPA with experimental packages to break your system! ;) (And, get upstream some nice bugreports, QA, etc.) | 22:15 |
| CoderEurope | Question: Is there a script that downloads *all* of the past Xubuntu Wallpapers after you install (for variety) ? | Or do you know where I can easily download a package for the Wallpapers ? | 22:16 |
| CoderEurope | Question: Is there a weather plugin ? | 22:17 |
| flocculant | CoderEurope: yea - there is a weather plugin | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | Answer: xubuntu-wallpapers contains a lot of them from over the years. | 22:17 |
| CoderEurope | thanks | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | xfce4-weather-plugin. | 22:17 |
| knome | and we are (read: i am) working on getting some of the artwork-related stuff more available, including the wallpapers even up the SVG sources | 22:18 |
| CoderEurope | Question: Is there a MacOS (with plank) theme available for me to install ? | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | dpkg -L xubuntu-wallpapers :> | 22:20 |
| knome | don't have all the history | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu-community-wallpapers-trusty and xubuntu-community-wallpapers-xenial for the community versions. | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | CoderEurope: arc-theme in the repos is a GTK theme that also includes a theme for plank. I believe it looks a bit MacOS like, it's a flat theme. | 22:22 |
| CoderEurope | okay thank-you | 22:22 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing. :) | 22:23 |
| flocculant | elopio: one of us here - I'm more the upstream chap :) | 22:23 |
| CoderEurope | Question: How close are we to snapifying the parts of Xubuntu that are different to Ubuntu ? | Or am I way left field ? | 22:26 |
| Unit193 | As far as I know, none of the packagers have played with Snap. That's more a question for bluesabre though. | 22:26 |
| elopio | damn with my connection. bluesabre I'm rejoining | 22:27 |
| knome | yeah i think snap is mostly uncharted territory for xubuntu | 22:27 |
| knome | nothing should be blocking doing snaps with xubuntu though | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | (Speaking of one of the uploaders, that is.) | 22:28 |
| knome | if somebody feels like that... | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | No he hasn't. >_> | 22:29 |
| CoderEurope | Nice if you could refer that comment in the video :) | 22:30 |
| CoderEurope | oh you did, thanks. | 22:30 |
| knome | xubuntu is a relatively small team so a lot of the work revolve around the same people ;) | 22:30 |
| flocculant | multiple hats :) | 22:31 |
| knome | indeed | 22:31 |
| knome | bluesabre, further questions at #xubuntu-devel please! :) | 22:31 |
| * Unit193 waves to bluesabre! | 22:31 | |
| knome | bluesabre, ping-a-ling! | 22:31 |
| knome | :D | 22:31 |
| flocculant | thanks bluesabre :) | 22:31 |
| knome | thanks bluesabre | 22:31 |
| knome | and thanks elopio | 22:31 |
| bluesabre | thanks elopio (and everyone else) | 22:32 |
| CoderEurope | I'd like to get xubuntu spun up in a VM. | 22:33 |
| elopio | knome: thanks to you. I'm sorry, I forgot to thank the whole xubuntu team <3 | 22:33 |
| Unit193 | CoderEurope: Any more questions we can answer? | 22:33 |
| knome | no worries :) | 22:33 |
| CoderEurope | Unit193: not really - guess its just upstream issues (if you know any ?) | 22:33 |
| Unit193 | CoderEurope: If you refer to QA'ing it, just a few things one might hit. | 22:34 |
| CoderEurope | Someone was asking whether Anbox works in Xubuntu ? | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | Not a clue, their site has a snap so I presume if snaps work, it'll work well enough. | 22:36 |
| bluesabre | Last I checked, Snaps were working in Xubuntu | 22:38 |
| CoderEurope | thanks - I have no further questions. | 22:38 |
| bluesabre | great, thanks CoderEurope. If you have anything else you'd like to ask, come visit in #xubuntu-devel | 22:44 |
| CoderEurope | np | 22:45 |
