[05:37] <flocculant> bluesabre_: so - what do you want us to do - other than say something on release note, funnily enough someone commented in #x yesterday about it
[05:41] <flocculant> note the ubuntu download page https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[05:44]  * flocculant thinks we should do the same
[05:59] <flocculant> I posted on facebook about it now - and answered someone who's possibly affected
[06:00] <flocculant> we really should be more proactive on this sort of thing :|
[06:30] <flocculant> apparently I posted on some other Xubuntu fb page ...
[06:31] <flocculant> pleia2: any idea what https://www.facebook.com/groups/424769327667974/ is?
[08:23] <sorinello> is there any way to recoverr your laptop from this ?
[10:28] <bluesabre> flocculant: I agree that we should display some warning, probably more visibly than ubuntu does
[10:28] <bluesabre> knome: can you make it happen? :-)
[10:51] <bluesabre> flexiondotorg: please let me know if you need any more info for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=884587
[11:16] <bluesabre> flocculant: this is what you were looking for https://www.facebook.com/xubuntuusers/
[14:19] <sorinello_> or at leas how do I find out if I am using that driver which is supposed to be blacklisted ?
[14:25] <knome> bluesabre, make what happen?
[14:33] <knome> done, i think
[15:38] <pleia2> flocculant: nope, news to me (though admittedly, fb is not really my jam)
[15:38]  * pleia2 joins anyway
[15:40] <pleia2> at least, trying to join :) they make you answer questions that have to be reviewed by an admin to join
[15:47] <pleia2> ah, they let me in ;)
[15:50] <knome> apparently that bug does not affect my thinkpad 13
[15:50] <knome> which is something
[15:59] <knome> i tweeted the warning
[15:59] <knome> bbl
[17:21] <pleia2> is it worth a message to users and devel mailing lists too?
[17:21] <pleia2> (not that we have much of a role here, maybe just users)
[17:28] <flocculant> bluesabre pleia2 - I know about the users one - I'm admin there - will just need to watch which one I'm posting in :D
[17:29] <pleia2> yeah, I'm on the users one too (and totally don't look at it, because I'm bad at my xubuntu job)
[17:30] <flocculant> pleia2: but I thought I took that from you cos you didn't like it :p
[17:30] <pleia2> yeah, but I should probably stay aware of our social media thingys
[17:30] <slickymasterWork> I think you just remained with G+, pleia2 
[17:31] <slickymasterWork> which you also dislike :P
[17:31] <pleia2> :D
[17:31] <flocculant> any nastiness I'd let you know anyway :p
[17:31] <pleia2> to be fair, G+ is hard to use when I'm traveling (which is a lot) because it's not great on slower connections
[17:31] <flocculant> bluesabre: not sure how we could display warning more visibly - they've disabled 17.10 download ... 
[17:33] <slickymasterWork> because of LP 1734147, flocculant?
[17:33] <flocculant> yup
[17:34] <slickymasterWork> right 
[17:34] <flocculant> I've been rabbiting on about it in here for 2 days ;)
[17:34] <slickymasterWork> just come across it today :P
[17:34] <pleia2> ^ that's what I was suggesting a users mailing list post for
[17:35] <flocculant> you didn't see the team ping then slickymasterWork :p
[17:35] <slickymasterWork> nopes, went to Lisbon Tuesday nigh just arrived today morning
[17:35] <flocculant> pleia2: ohhh - m/l ... I thought you meant users fb page :D
[17:35] <slickymasterWork> haven't yet went home, so haven't checked my irssi session
[17:36] <pleia2> flocculant: yeah sorry, context switching
[17:36] <flocculant> doing it now :)
[17:36] <flocculant> ish
[17:41] <flocculant> and done
[19:35] <pleia2> thanks flocculant :)
[19:35] <flocculant> np :)
[23:05] <ochosi_> bluesabre: is switching to xfpm 1.6.x planned for bionic in the near future? would be nice so i can get some testing from ppl and feedback whether there is still stuff i need to fix in xfpm before 18.04
[23:06] <ochosi_> currently it also doesn't seem to be part of any of our PPAs
[23:07] <ochosi> flocculant: also fyi ^
[23:08] <ochosi> (ok ok, it's part of "daily builds", but even there it seems wrongly tagged as 1.6.0)
