bluesabreBusy couple of days... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/lightdm-gtk-greeter/trunk/revision/37902:47
bluesabreGood news is, I am once again familiar with the greeter codebase02:48
bluesabre(and it's a mess)02:48
Unit193Ahaha, so that's why you expunged it from your mind? :)03:01
flocculantakxwi-dave bluesabre - so virtual installs are not available to me ... we'll get 1 hardware result from me07:58
flocculantso this ubuntu-advantage thing is not really of any use to our users?08:09
Unit193Limited, I'd say.08:10
flocculantmmm08:10
Unit193(My opinion of course, all rights reserved. :--D)08:10
flocculantok - well I guess I did my bit - shouted out that it's appeared on xubuntu - leave it to the devs to decide what to do \o/08:11
flocculantthat'll be you and Sean :D08:11
Unit193Nothing really.08:12
flocculant:)08:13
Unit193To be a bit more clear.  We state for LTSes we have support for 3 years while Canonical dedicates 5 years to packages in main.  Packages in universe (as in, all of Xfce and now lightdm, among others) are only supported by "the community", meaning the Ubuntu security team won't even take action for things in there.  Now, with ESR you have Canonical offering extended life to the release, but at this 08:21
Unit193stage "the community" couldn't even upload a security fix to a package in Universe.  So the claim that Xubuntu could get extended support is..Not quite spot on.  Of course, this would help the kernel, openssl, and other such packages.08:21

ochosibluesabre: nice! havent had the energy to pick up the greeter ina while... it also has some annoying issues with 3 screens that i need to check out at aome point (weird input issue where you have to click with the mouse into the password entry before you can type)13:57
bluesabreIt also occasionally gets stuck with multiple monitors as it tries to figure out which one to use13:59
bluesabreThis has been an issue for a long time though14:00
ochosiyeah14:10
ochosii was wondering whether we shouldnt just always show the login box on every screen14:11
ochosibut it may not be very easy either14:11
ochosi(unless we can meaningfully enforce mirror mode)14:11
bluesabreProbably no easy solutions14:14
