bluesabrehi flocculant 22:41
flocculantgood day?22:41
bluesabrethat's currently up in the air22:42
bluesabremay need to leave the meeting early22:42
flocculantoh dear22:42
bluesabreflocculant: refreshed my manifest diff for today's iso https://wiki.bluesabre.org/bionic_changes22:43
flocculantthat's a handy list22:44
bluesabre:)22:45
bluesabreonce I figure out how to nicely automate that (and improve on dokuwiki's poor table sorting) that page should stay up to date22:45
flocculantnot sure what the crack is with bug 1644917 - ochosi believes it's long fixed ... it's not ;) just one of those visual things but ...22:46
ubottubug 1644917 in xfce4-indicator-plugin (Ubuntu) "Label missing from indicator-plugin clear option" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/164491722:46
flocculantright - that'd be even handier :p22:47
bluesabreThe other day I saw it actually show the label correctly, and then didn't22:47
flocculantI've not seen it22:47
Unit193http://archive.unit193.net/debian/bionic/xfce4-indicator-plugin_2.3.3-1vanir1_amd64.deb you could try that.22:47
flocculantever tbh - one of those things I don't do so wouldn't, but now I look every time I see that bug22:48
flocculantugh 22:48
flocculantgdebi just silently fails now apparently22:49
bluesabrethat's pleasant22:49
flocculantbluesabre: yea - but ubuntu don't care about it I guess22:49
flocculantUnit193: yea - that one doesn't even give me to option to cancel or whatever is under the invisible label - it just went right ahead and cleared them :D22:52
Unit193That's Bionic+a few commits22:53
flocculantwell one of the commits makes it jfdi then :D22:54
Unit193    - Make sure the "clear indicators" dialog works with libxfce4ui-4.13.x22:57
flocculant:)22:59

bluesabrenot sure23:09
pleia2there was a request on social media for more original art ones, not just photos23:10
geniiI tried to do a watercolour thing in Gimp but it looks more like a blurry ball of rainbows23:10
Unit193Tell them we'd gladly accept such contribution?23:11
pleia2Unit193: "patches welcome" is not as friendly as you think it is ;)23:12
bluesabre#info lots of package updates since the beginning of bionic, a few recent ones: greybird-gtk-theme 3.22.6, xubuntu-icon-theme 18.04.1, catfish 1.4.4, lightdm-gtk-greeter 2.0.4, menulibre 2.1.5, xfce4-notifyd 0.4.1, xfce4-power-manager 1.6.123:12
bluesabrepleia2: yes, every time I say that I don't get patches23:12
bluesabre:)23:12
Unit193That's because it's a polite brush off. :P23:12
bluesabreWoops23:12
bluesabreAny other updates/announcements?23:13
bluesabreYes there are actually...23:14
bluesabre#info March 1: Feature Freeze, Debian Import Freeze23:14

flocculantthat's on my list of things to rabbit about23:15
flocculantas is 16.04.423:15
flocculantnext week ...23:15
flocculantwhich is why I'd not added them to the announcement bit :p23:16
bluesabreGood point23:16
flocculant:)23:16
bluesabreLet's hop on over to that then23:17

bluesabreWe're looking a little rough this cycle23:19
* flocculant wanders off for a bit as no qa bp \o/23:19
flocculantbluesabre: looks much the same as it did for the last cycle ;)23:20
bluesabreBut there's probably more done than it appears23:20
bluesabreIn fact, there definitely are23:20
bluesabreI need to update a few things23:20
bluesabreSo if everybody just wants to poke around and refresh your BPs so we can target release day a bit better... ;)23:21
bluesabreI realize now that's not really a good discussion item23:22

bluesabreflocculant: decided it's not something to worry about for this cycle23:23
flocculantok23:24
bluesabrewe'll probably have to go for it on bionic+1 so I think they are removing -synaptics23:24
flocculant#subtopic 16.04.4 / Beta 1 18.0423:24
flocculantthis is just forewarning everyone - with job I have now I can't guarantee marking for release23:24
flocculantalso not got much time to be testing each and every version and the tests23:25
flocculantI suspect 16.04 is more or less just install smoketests 23:26
flocculant#subtopic numlockx23:26
flocculantbug 174655623:26

flocculantsomeone else apparently gets annoyed at having to do this each time they install, so that's at least 2 of us ...23:27
flocculantthoughts on adding that and setting up the lightdm doodah to have it at login?23:27
bluesabreThat seems reasonable to me23:28
slickymaster+123:28
bluesabre!info numlockx bionic23:28
ubottunumlockx (source: numlockx): enable NumLock in X11 sessions. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-7 (bionic), package size 8 kB, installed size 68 kB23:28
bluesabreThat also seems agreeable23:28
flocculantthough I tend to make my one a lot further on than 50-numlock.conf just in case :p23:28
flocculantyea not very big at all :p23:29
bluesabreflocculant: so you currently use this in your config?23:29
flocculantyup23:29
bluesabreneat23:29
bluesabreSounds incredibly painless23:29
flocculanthave done for years as it never works without23:29
flocculantyea - just a pita the first time :D23:29
bluesabreWill probably go ahead with that then, it seems like a value add and nothing more23:31
bluesabrethanks for bringing it up23:31
flocculantbluesabre: only time it went wrong was when lightdm changed and you needed the [Seat} bit23:31
flocculantno problem23:31
* flocculant is done then 23:31
bluesabreAnybody else got discussion items?23:31
flocculantI'm - as always - concerned about the testing levels we 'apparently' get23:32
bluesabreYeah23:32
flocculantbut bored by the discussion now tbf - as is everyone else I expect23:33

bluesabreto get some fresh views on that at least23:33
bluesabre:D23:33
bluesabreyay23:33
Unit193It's really just the install media though, I activly run Bionic.23:33
flocculantnot sure what we can do about it though23:33
flocculantUnit193: I know :)23:33
bluesabrehi Unit193 23:34
flocculanttrouble is - unless someone actively tells us we have no idea at all23:34
flocculantand frankly someone could just go to the tracker on release day and mark it for release23:34
flocculantbluesabre: not sure we'll ever get fresh views from the few of us in a meeting23:36
flocculantbecause I'd have to assume we all want it done 23:36
Unit193There's still that one guy that emails me about Core ISOs, but that's unofficial stuff still.23:37
flocculantyup23:37
bluesabreflocculant: let's plan for a call for testing and social media'ing everywhere23:37
flocculantI'm sure there are people out there - I see pings from the u+1 channel23:37
flocculantbluesabre: mmm23:38
flocculantbored doing those pointlessly as well 23:38
bluesabremaybe a nice detailed blog post instead23:40
