ochosiUnit193: indeed, most of what i run is from git tbh... all the 4.15 stuff. but i'll soon try to do more 4.15 releases so ppl have a better basis for testing07:21
Unit193Eh, that's not really related.07:52
bluesabreUnit193: my desktop suspends quickly, but coming back from suspend I see a black screen and a cursor bar for about 30 seconds before everything comes back. It's very bizarre... I figure it's probably just the weird combination of cheap gaming parts in a Cyberpower pc.11:24
Unit193Full desktop I presume?11:25

bikepunkhi all, 22:35
bikepunkwhat is the reason to have an entry for xfce4-terminal --prefecrences in the applications menu ?22:37
bikepunkI find it super confusing, 22:37
bikepunkthe entry is called xfce terminal and it has the very same logo as the entry to launch the actual terminal22:38
bikepunkthe preferences are anyway accessible from the Edit>Preferences within xfce4 terminal22:39
* bikepunk is looking into https://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/bugs22:41
bikepunknot sure its the good place to report that issue tough22:42
brainwashbikepunk: it's the entry from the Settings category22:45
Unit193If you use whisker, you wouldn't know.22:45
brainwashwhich is shown in the settings manager also22:45
brainwashI was under the impression that this entry was changed or adjusted already22:46

bikepunkbrainwash, I use whisker22:56
bikepunkwhen I type "term" in the search, I get 2 entries, same logo and similar name :-(22:56
bikepunkoups I was talking to Unit193 22:57
brainwashI thought that this part was clear22:57
brainwashand I linked the upstream report22:58
bikepunkbrainwash, yep, this is the issue I was reporting, thanks for the link ;-)22:59
brainwashthe report is closed, so the issue should be fixed22:59
bikepunkit's not fixed in up to date 18.0422:59
bikepunkhope it will be in 20.0422:59
brainwashprobably23:00
bikepunkbut still I dont understant the need to have an entry for terminal preferences, may be I'm just weird23:00
brainwashwell, now is the time to test it23:00
brainwashterminal preferences is meant for the Settings category which is used by the Settings Manager too23:01
brainwashyou can find Thunar preferences there too23:01
bikepunkI see that, I dont understand the logic of it. But it's not a bug, it's a personal feeling23:02
brainwashmodifying those settings without actually opening xfce4-terminal or Thunar?23:03
bikepunkyep. I don't know any user who would do that23:04
bikepunkall the users I know run the stuff then clic on preferences if needed23:04
bikepunkI wanted to report the same kind of issue for the entry "softwares & updates" opening software-properties-gtk23:09
bikepunkbut may be this is fixed too23:09
brainwashbest to actually check it23:10
Unit193That's used to configure software and updates, not sure what's there to fix..23:10
bikepunkUnit193, the bloody misleading name !23:10
Unit193How?23:10
bikepunk"configuration" shall be explicitly in the name of the entry23:11
Unit193It's in settings, sooo...23:11
bikepunknot when you're using search23:11
Unit193Should all entries in settings contain the name 'configuration'?23:11
Unit193Perhaps search should be modified to show what category it is in.23:11
bikepunkUnit193, yep, may be23:11
Unit193Note: We don't maintain software-properties-gtk so that one at least wasn't our fault anyway. :D23:12
bikepunkI don't blame anyone, just trying to make things better 23:12
bikepunkxubuntu people might maintain the name of the entry in the menu though23:14
Unit193Hah, yeah that was mainly an 'not our doing' thing, more of a lighthearted joke.  This doesn't seem great though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/186050423:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1860504 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "software-properties-gtk fails to launch via "Additional Drivers" or via terminal" [Low,New]23:14
bikepunkoups ^23:17
Unit193In settings, you have a couple that say 'manager', some say 'preferences', some say 'settings', some are very clear by the name, and some just rely on category.23:24
bikepunkI find the name "Software-properties" much more meaningful than "Software & updates"23:25
bikepunkit's actually the name of the package...23:25
bikepunkmost of the GUI users I see are misleaded and open that to make the apt upgrade23:26
bikepunkwhile CLI users are not bothered by the GUI misleading stuff23:27
Unit19323:29
Unit193I have Synaptic installed, also trying package-update-indicator, but I don't use the GUI for updates or package management.23:29
bikepunkI avoid GUI as much as possible for my personnal use23:30
Unit193I use a web browser!23:31
bikepunkbut since I help installing xubuntu to people making the switch to FOSS23:32
bikepunkI actually see what people do, try and understand23:32
bikepunkand the current menu entries are quite misleading23:32
Unit193I also use applications menu, not whisker, so the presentation is different.23:32
bikepunk"applications menu" is what you get with default alt + F3 ?23:34

* bikepunk go to sleep.23:45
bikepunkI will try the beta 20.04 tomorow for testing and file some enhencements for the future23:45
bikepunkthanks for your work ;-)23:46
