jphilips | when will the branching for 20.10 happen? | 00:38 |
---|---|---|
Unit193 | 20.04 gets released, 20.10 gets a name, there's pre-open freeze (initial transitions, bootstrapping, etc.) then the archive is opened. What do you mean by 'branching' in this context though? | 00:39 |
jphilips | using branching in the context of git branching, where master would be 20.10 and 20.04 would be a separate branch, like we currently have master as 20.04 and 19.10 as a different branch | 00:41 |
Unit193 | For what repo, then? | 00:41 |
jphilips | well i guess xubuntu-defaults so i could submit patches for the default i proposed | 00:42 |
jphilips | are any of these old FAQs useful these days https://xubuntu.org/news/tag/faq/ | 01:47 |
jphilips | is changing the .desktop file's label for gnome software from 'Software' to 'Software Manager' or 'Software Store' something doable | 02:16 |
jphilips | should we encourage testers to join the xubuntu testers team - https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-testers | 03:14 |
jphilips | i've reviewed the help & support webpage - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qenHqnop4DWne2DsX5nPgaN7xdJLzL6etb0gfBGL6fk/edit#heading=h.fsdgs1i4rdsd | 03:56 |
jphilips | knome, pleia2: ^^^ | 03:56 |
bluesabre | jphilips: RE: faqs, the ones that are not release-specific, definitely. | 09:35 |
bluesabre | jphilips: RE: .desktop file, not at this point in the cycle, but yes it's doable (and something Ubuntu did for a while) | 09:36 |
bluesabre | jphilips: RE: branching, we wait until the end of the cycle so we don't have to keep 20.04 and 20.10 branches in sync, but you can create your own branch and submit a MR | 09:38 |
bluesabre | Unit193: any news on Ayatana indicators making their way into Ubuntu? | 10:28 |
jphilips | bluesabre: thanks for the info. does the of the cycle, mean the day the LTS is released? | 12:07 |
bluesabre | jphilips: yep, then we branch master into the latest release code name, and continue development in master for the next cycle | 12:10 |
jphilips | Unit193: tweet went out 4 hours ago. Let me know how the jump in downloads go | 12:36 |
jphilips | people were asking for the 18.04 core iso and i found it online, so maybe consider putting up the torrent file or magnetic link | 12:57 |
jphilips | 64bit - https://btdb.io/torrent/7728679d017e596021153147e80bceff2062445f | 12:58 |
jphilips | 32bit - https://www.skytorrents.lol/info/ab966a80b1b0568fb351b90a8404dff6ef015951 | 12:58 |
jphilips | facebook comment: "No offence, but the site looks like a malware or gore site. Perhaps change its style to something a little more trusting and professional to bring new users in. Thanks 👍" | 13:06 |

bluesabre | I'll also try to finish getting the themes into gtk-common-themes | 14:22 |
bluesabre | But from what I was experimenting with before, many snaps seem to hardcode adwaita as the theme, and there's not a user-friendly way around that :( | 14:23 |
jphilips | bluesabre: we should likely bundle the full adwaita rather than just the base, as its a bad UX to click on it in Appearances when its like that | 17:36 |
bluesabre | !info adwaita-icon-theme-full | 17:43 |
ubottu | adwaita-icon-theme-full (source: adwaita-icon-theme): default icon theme of GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.32.0-1ubuntu1 (disco), package size 7144 kB, installed size 22007 kB | 17:43 |
bluesabre | Yeah, that's not too monstrous, and the depends are tidy enough, https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/adwaita-icon-theme-full | 17:44 |
bluesabre | Unit193: thoughts on including that for -desktop? | 17:44 |
jphilips | i chatted with JackFrost about it last week or so | 17:47 |
jphilips | it is only 7mb to download and 23mb installed, so definitely not to big | 17:47 |
pleia2 | jphilips: thanks, I made some comments in the doc | 18:27 |
jphilips | pleia2: thanks | 18:32 |
jphilips | so for those that dont already know, i've teamed up with the other flavours for a ubuntu testing week starting on the 2nd of april (beta release day) | 18:37 |
jphilips | like all the other flavours, we will put out an announcement of this testing session for xubuntu using points found in this google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PVui1kB1JijGCoBPdkrg4P94LS4DozLtEJ37GKWga2E/edit# | 18:38 |
jphilips | comments are welcome | 18:39 |
jphilips | pleia2: do you have the time to prepare the xubuntu announcement text? | 18:45 |
pleia2 | it's a month away, so it's not even on my radar yet :) | 18:47 |
pleia2 | you're welcome to draft something if you'd like though, following the format of past announcements | 18:47 |
jphilips | this testing announcement is for the 26th | 18:47 |
pleia2 | ah, not today, have to go pick up the kiddo in a few minutes | 18:48 |
jphilips | not a problem, when you are free is fine. please have a look at the google doc above when you get a chance | 18:48 |
Unit193 | bluesabre: You mean as far as the Ubuntu ones being dropped in favor of Ayatana? Really not fond of including an icon theme we don't use though. | 18:49 |
Unit193 | bluesabre: And I guess there's the answer, add the new dep then Debian will add the gir stuff. :P | 18:52 |
jphilips | help page has been updated - https://xubuntu.org/help/ | 19:43 |
Unit193 | Minor nitpick if you so desire, the 'correct' way to spell 'freenode' is with a lowercase 'f'. | 19:45 |
Unit193 | (Yes I know you didn't introduce that, just noting.) | 19:45 |
jphilips | fixed | 19:46 |
Unit193 | Also, looks like that did bring a few more visitors to the Core site. | 20:02 |
jphilips | sweet | 20:17 |
jphilips | any thoughts on putting up the 18.04 torrent | 20:18 |
jphilips | if anyone wants to recommend a webpage on the site that i should edit text, you are welcome to do so :D | 20:19 |
Unit193 | Linking to it? That's likely the correct one, but would be nice to find confirmation in my logs. | 20:20 |
Unit193 | At least the site seems decent enough (with adblock) it wouldn't be the *worst* thing to link to.. | 20:21 |
jphilips | no i wouldnt recommend linking to the torrent site | 20:22 |
jphilips | you can upload the torrent file to your site or alternatively just give the magnetic link | 20:22 |
jphilips | i downloaded the 64-bit but the 32-bit had no seeds | 20:23 |
Unit193 | Well then, guess that's moot. | 20:23 |
jphilips | if you still have the 32-bit iso around, i could seed it | 20:24 |
Unit193 | I don't, as noted I remove old releases. | 20:26 |
jphilips | well thankfully 64bit is still around, which is whats important ;D | 20:29 |
Unit193 | (As I noted before, Xubuntu Core isn't a "supported LTS release" :>) | 20:29 |
jphilips | oh wait, there are seeders | 20:30 |
jphilips | i'm downloading it | 20:30 |
jphilips | was thinking to send you a patch, but this doesnt look like the download page - https://git.unit193.net/cgit/users/unit193/unit193.net.git/tree/pages/xubuntu/core.txt | 20:34 |
Unit193 | Yeah it's not. | 20:34 |
Unit193 | Like I said though, not too keen on linking old releases. :3 | 20:44 |
jphilips | what do people think about a 2 column download page - https://imgur.com/yUuvtQ3.png | 21:10 |
Unit193 | How's it look on box screens? | 21:11 |
jphilips | box screens? | 21:11 |
genii | Not that great | 21:11 |
genii | 4:3 ratio screens | 21:12 |
jphilips | not sure about 4:3, though very few people have such resolutions these days | 21:12 |
Unit193 | Not sure if 'very few', but yeah they're not as widespread now. Though I'd imagine we still get those visitors. | 21:15 |
jphilips | do we have any stats counter on the site? | 21:16 |
jphilips | okay tested it at 1280 width and still looks fine | 21:19 |
jphilips | < 3% use 1024 width https://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution-stats/desktop/worldwide | 21:20 |

* Unit193 ponders if this is going to be SFW... | 21:28 | |
jphilips | yes sfw | 21:28 |
jphilips | its a wallpaper | 21:28 |
Unit193 | (Joking...) | 21:28 |
jphilips | does the community menu seems strange to anyone, with sub entries for contact us, brand resources, products, and donate | 21:34 |
jphilips | entries under development seem more like they should go under community, so it has sub entries for get involved, developer area, derivatives | 21:36 |
ochosi | hm, looking at the wp contest voting and/or results doesnt seem to work | 22:09 |
ochosi | i guess "i'm holding it wrong" | 22:09 |
ochosi | oh right | 22:14 |
ochosi | i was looking in the wrong place | 22:14 |
jphilips | ochosi: any idea when the votes will be finalized so we can announce the winners | 22:52 |
ochosi | nope, i just voted a few minutes ago myself | 22:53 |
jphilips | anyone else left to vote | 22:53 |
bluesabre | Yep | 23:31 |
bluesabre | Possibly | 23:31 |
bluesabre | Looks like we're up to 5 people having voted | 23:32 |
Unit193 | So you're saying I should do that... | 23:33 |
bluesabre | Yes, please :) | 23:34 |
Unit193 | There were so many choices, and not a lot of the style I use, I just put it off. :3 | 23:35 |

Unit193 | > 0.14 is up | 23:35 |
ochosi | kewl thanks | 23:47 |
Unit193 | ochosi: To Debian, specifically. | 23:48 |
ochosi | sure, that's much appreciated | 23:49 |
