pmjdebruijnis there any documentation on how the official xubuntu ISOs are generated?12:40
pmjdebruijnI used to have a script of my own that wrapped around live-build, but now it's generating broken initrds12:47
=== SwissBot_ is now known as SwissBot
pmjdebruijnubuntu-defaults-builder generates broken initrd's as well14:53
pmjdebruijnoh wait, the new iso no longer wants initrd.lz15:05
ochosiUnit193: btw, i've missed a bit in here but have you taken a look at the latest xfce4-session?17:58
ochosiseems like quite a few things should be fixed by now17:58
ochosiand i'm wondering if it makes sense to throw it in the experimental PPA so we can test it a little to decide if we wanna ship it or not17:59
Unit193Not in the slightest.17:59
ochosi(although the default would be not shipping it, because that's what we committed to in the beginning of the cycle, i guess)17:59
ochosixfwm4 4.13 finally seems to work ok for me18:01
Unit193xfwm4 4.13 is always a 'for me' or 'not for me' type of deal.18:02
ochosiin which respect? you mean: works for some, doesn't for others?18:02
Unit193yep.18:02
ochosihmm, haven't heard many complaints about the latest release18:04
ochosihave you?18:04
Unit193Haven't tested it since it was pretty flakey for me.18:04
Unit193xfwm4                     4.13.1-0ppa1~18.10          1118:05
Unit193xfwm4                     4.13.1-0ppa1~18.04          4418:05
Unit193Surely someone might have said something, and not just downgraded...18:05
bluesabreUnit193, ochosi: gaston seemed to be having some issues with it earlier today on #xfce-dev21:41
ochosicrap, shouldn't have lost my connection21:44
ochosibluesabre: xfwm4 or the session though?21:45
bluesabreochosi: xfwm4, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Fy7TrBkgRq/21:45
ochosiinteresting21:46
ochosianyway, runs stable enough for me to add the theming part ;)21:46
ochosiat least that one is fine21:47
bluesabrethat's good :D21:47
ochosiand i hope i can add a hidpi theme for xfwm4 for 18.1021:47
ochosinot sure if i'll make it in tim21:47
ochosie21:47
ochosibut the basics are there now21:47
bluesabrethat's with gtk scaling or a separate theme?21:47
ochosiseparate theme21:51
Unit193So, no xfwm then.21:51
ochosithe gtk scaling part is in gtk+ itself (headerbars)21:51
ochosiand the hidpi theme is an extra variant of greybird that goes with the x2 scaling of gtk+ and x1121:52
ochosiideally we'll try to be a little more intelligent about this in xfce in the future21:52
ochosii.e. when you switch scaling factors it switches to a hidpi version of the theme21:53
ochosibut anyway, that would have to be discussed with olivier21:53
ochosimeanwhile i'll try to fix up the theme variant, that'll be needed in any case21:55
bluesabremaybe we'd have some 2x, 3x variants inside the xfwm4 theme folder21:55
ochosiexactly21:57
ochosithat would be the easiest and most straightforward solution21:57
ochosisame as with icon themes21:57
bluesabremhm21:57
ochosiother than that i hope i'll get to some hacking this week21:58
ochosido you know of any high-prio stuff i should take a look at?21:58
Unit193ochosi: I pinged you several times, but you never came. :(21:59
ochosi(sorry, after two weeks of holidays i don't seem to remember a thing ;D)21:59
ochosisoooooorrry21:59
* Unit193 pouts.21:59
* ochosi lures Unit193 out of his corner21:59
ochosianything in particular you pinged me about?22:00
Unit193The icon theme transition being worked on by blue.22:00
ochosiah, what's happening there exactly?22:00
ochosianything i should contribute to?22:00
Unit193Nah it's packaging stuff, but IIRC you were disinterested in using my new nice package, elementary-xfce-icon-theme since it ships svgs, and you're a fan of xubuntu-icon-theme's pngs?22:01
ochosithe main issue with svgs is that their less performant and they look smudgy in a lot of apps22:02
bluesabretechnically the png theme is a downstream enhancement (part of the ubuntu packaging)22:02
ochosiwhat's the problem with including the svgtopng.c part in your nice package?22:02
ochosiyeah, that's what it is right now22:02
ochosii don't mind including it upstream22:02
ochosiwe can add a makefile there and the svgtopng crap22:02
ochosiif that helps you with harmonizing the situatio22:03
ochosin22:03
Unit193Mainly, svgs seem fairly normal to ship, I didn't want to complicate things too much, and xubuntu-icon-theme repacks upstream's source as pngs.22:03
Unit193ochosi: My main point was that I didn't want to waste bluesabre's time if we were going to continue to use xubuntu-icon-theme.22:07
bluesabrewhat if we added the png-maker to upstream and the built png theme become the norm?22:09
bluesabrefor both debian and ubuntu22:09
Unit193If it is effortless on both our parts, sure?22:10
ochosibluesabre: yup, i would also go that way22:48
ochosiif you wanna add a makefile and the svgtopng binary to the repo feel free to22:48
ochosigotta get some sleep now22:48
bluesabreochosi: alrighty, will see about doing that tonight/tomorrow22:59
