jphilipsit has changes for the artwork and QA contribution pages made by me, ochosi and knome09:49
jphilipsonce those changes get in, i'll work on the other contribution pages, with input from the lead of each of the pages09:50
jphilipsthe other thing in the document is additional press links for the 'in the press' pages which i gathered09:51
jphilipsi'm a member of the wiki team, but still cant edit the meeting page :(10:07
jphilipsUnit193: can you add the following items to the agenda10:16
jphilipspre-installed apps - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2020-March/011877.html10:16
jphilipsUI and UX tweaks - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2020-March/011876.html10:16
jphilipsbroken Super + D shortcut - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/186653710:17
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1866537 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Show desktop shortcut doesnt work" [Undecided,New]10:17
Unit193jphilips: Can't add anything right now, but as I noted before we're in FeatureFreeze, so any seed changes would have to have a FFe which needs a solid justification...sooo..10:23
jphilipscan you clarify what seed changes mean10:26
Unit193Seed = packages we're shipping on the ISO/desktop.10:26
Unit193https://git.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/xubuntu10:28
jphilipsso the pre-installed apps proposal. okay. i've given my justification in the mailing list. guess you guys will decide how solid it is10:29
Unit193Nope, FFes aren't approved by the Xubuntu team.10:31
Unit193!ffe10:31
ubottuFeature Freeze Exception. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess for the freeze exception process.10:31
jphilipsso i presume its the 'FeatureFreeze for new packages' section10:35
Unit193"Introducing new packages into the archive"?  No, that's different.10:41
Unit193https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2020-March/004924.html recently talked about it.10:43
bluesabreYeah, at this point (Feature Freeze) in an LTS cycle, we shouldn't be adding any new applications.11:04
bluesabreUI/UX tweaks are still acceptable.11:04
bluesabreAnd bug fixes are fair game until release day and beyond.11:04
bluesabreI am not opposed to revisiting the default apps at the beginning of the 20.10 cycle11:05
jphilipsokey dokey.11:10
jphilipshow fixed are we with using xfce apps over other apps?11:10
brainwashjphilips: you did not mention in your report if the settings GUI shows Super + D as being assigned to the correct action11:14
jphilipsbrainwash: wouldnt have to as thats the default11:15
jphilipsits not like i assigned the shortcut, its the default set in 19.1011:16
Unit193I'd imagine we're pretty set on using Xfce. :P11:16
brainwashit certainly is, but it helps to know if the GUI agrees with that11:16
bluesabrejphilips: Here's our info on Package Selection. https://docs.xubuntu.org/contributor/C/xsd.html#xsd-seeds-composition-package-selection11:17
jphilipsbut yes it does show in the GUI that its the shortcut11:17
brainwashokay11:17
brainwashmy first guess would have been that it is simply missing there11:18
bluesabreIn general, we're not opposed to using non-Xfce apps, there just historically hasn't been any real reason to.11:18
brainwashdue to whatever reason11:18
jphilipsUnit193: well i was going to suggest that we use a different image viewer than ristretto11:18
Unit193That's actually one of the decently maintained components.11:18
brainwashjphilips: the old keybind still works?11:23
jphilipsdefinitely could be, but i guess i've been spoiled with viewers that have some basic editing features like cropping, saving as a different format, etc.11:23
jphilipsbrainwash: no you can only assign the function to a single shortcut in window manager11:23
brainwashbut the action can appear twice in the XML file11:24
jphilipsnot sure why only the combination with 'D' is acting up like that11:24
jphilipsif you are in thunar and press Super + D, it acts as if you are just pressing D11:25
jphilipsso it shows the search for 'D' in the bottom right11:26
brainwashreminds me of bug 129229011:27
ubottubug 1292290 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu Trusty) "[SRU] Window manager keybindings don't work after reboot" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/129229011:27
brainwashxfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -lv | grep show_desktop_key11:33
jphilipsbrainwash: are you asking me to execute that?11:35
brainwashif you want to debug the problem, yes11:36
jphilipshttps://imgur.com/EcniYWn.png11:44
jphilipsold shortcut still works11:45
brainwashsee11:45
brainwashaction appears twice11:45
jphilipsso bluesabre patch wasnt correct then - https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/commit/?id=4f8124a0669462a5ff86017043ab4cc068ae4b1e11:46
brainwashmaybe this is needed https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-default-settings/trunk/revision/54311:47
brainwashsetting the Xfce default keybind to type="empty"11:48
brainwashin the Xubuntu XML file11:49
jphilipsi set the old shortcut to a different operation but still that didnt fix it11:50
jphilipsbut it did ask me if i wanted to move it off of show desktop11:51
jphilipsnot sure how the old shortcut is being set, when its not found in the shortcuts file - https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/tree/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml11:55
brainwashjphilips: merged from the upstream XML file11:57
brainwashor keybind setup11:57
brainwashno idea how it works in detail11:57
jphilipsthankfully the old shortcut does work, atleast for those who have been using it before11:59
brainwashin the xfconf-query output you can see "custom" and "default"11:59
brainwashand I assume that "default" is a mix of Xubuntu's keybinds + Xfce's ones12:02
brainwashXfce has Ctrl+Alt+D, Xubuntu does not anymore12:02
brainwashtherefore it gets merged12:02
brainwashset Ctrl+Alt+D in Xubuntu to type="empty" -> no merge happens anymore12:03

jphilipshas the team considered doing voice/video meetings with someone taking minutes13:42
pleia2jphilips: yes, we all hate it ;) even during the Virtual Ubuntu Developer Summits we tended to just have IRC-based sessions instead of video14:38
jphilipseven just audio?14:38
pleia2even just audio14:39
pleia2and it's hard to take comprehensive notes, the audio isn't as accessible for searching/reviewing in the future14:40
jphilipsat libreoffice we did voice/video meetings and noted minutes and all were able to modify the minutes to add additional info that may have been missed or incorrectly noted14:42
pleia2I'm glad it worked for that team :)14:44
pleia2I also wouldn't be able to attend, I can keep an eye on a text-based meeting during work (which is when the meetings happen), but I couldn't divert enough attention to audio/video without taking time off from work (not really possible right now)14:45
jphilipsas the minutes were taking place in etherpad, you could look at the pad and comment there if you are unable to attend14:46
jphilipshere's an example - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Meetings/2020-03-1214:47
jphilipshere is the etherpad - https://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/design14:47
pleia2I have definitely done it for other teams, I'm explaining that it doesn't work for us14:49
jphilipsokey dokey14:49
pleia2jphilips: I've added you to the website team so you can make the edits agreed to in the document15:10
