bluesabreevening all00:03
bluesabreWhile I'd rather not fork a fairly new package, I'm not opposed to trying to get -pa-plugin up to indicator-sound in usefulness00:04
bluesabre... and then probably do some things better00:04
david__Hi xubuntu-dev, I'm here to discuss on the permissions on the use of the xubuntu word and trademark as far as advertising xubuntu in YouTube video/commercials, print ads, stickers... (I actually asked for the trademark permission for Canonical, however the form is only for Ubuntu.) I was actually escorted here to Xubuntu community contacts.01:26
david__...as described in the email I have received from Canonical Legal "...With respect to XUBUNTU, you will need to contact the Xubuntu community directly to discuss your proposed use.  You can find their contact details on the following website: https://xubuntu.org/..."01:26
Unit193bluesabre: Why would one fork it?  Why not just give andrzejr a free patch...?  There's not even a bug requesting it yet, and as far as the mic, Xfce Bug 12097.05:37
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 12097 in General "Please add Microphone control" [Enhancement,New] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209705:37
Unit193("If you can produce a patch I will gladly review it and push it to git.")05:37
bluesabreUnit193: I was thinking it was kinda in a different direction from indicator-sound, but should probably review again10:48
Spassflocculant: I'm starting the application testcases from testing tracker now and I have very minor issues with first one (Catfish), should I just write it in the comment section on the tracker, here or to you directly?13:35
SpassI'm asking because maybe there's no reason to call them "issues", maybe just testcases are slightly outdated13:42
Spassbug 168984215:19
ubottuError: Launchpad bug 1689842 could not be found15:19
Spassquestion - should I edit my bug report to something different than Private?15:20
flocculantSpass: as I said yesterday - the testcases are well out of date - report bug on manual testcase project via the link I gave you - if it's not a testcase bug then I can deal with it16:09
flocculantchances are that anything you find is in fact a testcase bug16:09
Spassflocculant: thanks, when I'm not sure about things, I'm just writing info in a comment section, I will let you know when I'm done testing, some are completed already, maybe something will be useful for you guys http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/377/builds/146768/testcases16:22
flocculanteverything's useful there :)16:24
SpassXubuntu 17.10 is using very old xfce4-power-manager version, I have 3 issues related to it on my laptop right now17:43
Spass"Zarro Boogs found." lol17:54
SpassPower Manager is a mess on my laptop :/ done testing for today, I added some comments on the tracker, biab18:53
flocculantSpass: yea - pretty sure plan is to make sure things are ported to gtk3 - I'm using 1.6.0+git version from https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa20:29
flocculantbluesabre: what are our plans for updating things like that in standard Xubuntu this cycle? akxwi-dave and I are planning to ramp up package testing 20:31
flocculantconsequently - testcases need looking at - don't really want to be doing that too often in the cycle :)20:31
knomebasically any updates shouldn't affect testcases as the GTK3 replacements should be identical (eg. no new features)20:32
flocculantwell ... are they though?20:32
knomeand i guess the idea is to push to main repositories when something is stable and all of its dependencies are satisfiable from the main repositories20:32
knomein the majority of cases, yes they are20:32
knomeand it feels unlikely that the minority is affecting testcases either - as it's not something major that's changed20:33
flocculantluckily for you notifications isn't tested ;)20:37
knomei didn't say nothing changes20:37
knomebut any changes to features are very much frowned upon on xfce already :P20:37
flocculantSpass: I've edited the power result - you'd put Xfce bug numbers in the critical fails - they have to be Launchpad ones I'm afraid20:38
flocculantknome: really? notification is the same now as it's always been? ochosi will be upset that all the changes there haven't been noticed ;)20:40
knomei didn't say that either20:40
knomeand this comment was meant for the GTK migration anyway, not "always"20:41
flocculantmy issue is whether we're going to have to keep changing testcases through the cycle20:41
knomemy answer it's very unlikely that this would happen20:41
knomeís20:41
knomeeh, +is20:41
Spassflocculant: thanks, I didn't want to duplicate what was already on Bugzilla, and I read "Bugs are tracked in Xfce Bugzilla." on xfce4-power-manager LP page20:41
flocculantok - but the question was for bluesabre :D20:41
knomeflocculant, i acknowledge... but i'm sure he'll be giving a similar answer which you'll have to wait for a while20:42
knomebut feel free to do so ;)20:42
flocculantSpass: yea - but we have to put LP numbers on the trackers - otherwise it looks rather odd - it had linked to bug 1231720:43
ubottubug 12310 in rhythmbox (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #12317 Very MINOR issue with Rhythmbox in Hoary" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1231020:43
flocculantand the other was a Soundblaster one :)20:43
knomesoundblaster ftw20:43
Spasstoo bad I can't submit 'Failed' without any bug number20:43
flocculantknome: indeed20:44
flocculantSpass: yea I know, but it stops bizarre failures of testcases :)20:44
Spassthat's why I left 'Running' on Catfish and light-locker and I added some comments20:45
knomei guess we could file a bug saying "the required bugs aren't tracked on LP" and use that if only bugzilla bugs appear...20:45
Spassin fact they're finished with small issues20:45
flocculantSpass: because we're such a small team - it's fine for the time being to pass them and make comments - we do read those20:46
Spassflocculant: ok, so I 'll change them to passed, was worrying my comments won't be noticed :)20:46
knomewell they're not passed...20:47
flocculantknome: and also - because the testcases need to be 'this button' and not 'this switch' or whatever - changes do need to be made - otherwise we get spurious things commented20:48
flocculantso - we do need to know if there are planned changes from gtk2 to gtk3 if we're doing package testing20:49
knomeflocculant, right... that's a good point but i hope we do not have too many widgets changing :)20:49
Spassknome: but they're not 'Running' any more and I can't mark them as 'Failed' without a bug #, and I wasn't sure my minor issues/comments deserve a bug report20:49
knomeflocculant, one thing we could do is to list widgets that are going to be deprecated (or in other words, need replacing) already20:49
flocculantSpass: for the moment please don't worry yourself about that - what I'm after here is testing the testcases against the packages20:49
flocculantjust do what I say for now20:50
knomeSpass, rather leave them "running" than mark "passed"20:50
flocculantSpass: please ignore anyone but me here20:51
Spassis there a fourth option? like 'Undecided' :P20:51
flocculantat the moment this isn't about testing packages20:52
flocculantwe need the testcases checked20:52
knomeSpass, no... just keep them "running" please20:52
SpassI'm just planning to finish all the testcases this week, and hopefully some of my comments will help, but I guess I know everything what I'll write there already20:52
flocculantthat's all I'm interested in currently20:52
flocculantSpass: I need bug reports on whether the testcase is correct20:53
flocculantthat is what we need20:53
Spassto that point only Catfish testcase needs to be updated I think, it seems there was a slightly interface change20:56
Spassand Thunar with "Wastebasket/Rubbish Bin", unless that's what it's called on en_GB (I'm using en_US on 17.10 I think...)20:58
Spassminor things20:58
flocculantthings like that we can't really do much about20:59
flocculantit's usually rubbish bin here 20:59
flocculantexcept for in places plugin and on desktop etc21:00
flocculantanyway - I'm done for the night21:00
=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2
bluesabreevening all21:40
knomehello bluesabre 21:40
bluesabreflocculant: GTK+3 ports, application updates, possibly pulseaudio-plugin to replace indicator-sound... or being prepared to replace indicators in general21:41
bluesabreRegarding the ports, they should get a good look because a lot of gtk2 xfce is deprecated and has to be replaced with all new everything21:46
