bluesabreUnit193: were there any issues blocking us from the latest thunar?00:02
bluesabrejphilips: re snap store, I think there might be an ubuntu-specific package that pulled it in. It's a snaps-only version of gnome-software. I didn't get it from installing (been running 20.04 for a while), but manually installed it to compare00:06
Unit193bluesabre: I never finished that in debian because I got blocked on d/copyright.  (I should fix it, but I don't want to re-write it.  So I just procrastinated rather than doing anything.)00:12
bluesabreUnit193: gotcha. I'll probably test it briefly and then do an ubuntu upload00:13
bluesabreUnit193: I'm amused by this, should I do it for 20.04? https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/ubuntu-mate-settings/commit/3798a33b769a76103ac52e83dbd0b0133fad0241?short_path=2b5ec6c#diff-2b5ec6c5cb5771c0e44d5655c512c42200:13
Unit193It's a pretty low risk place to do something like that, but dpkg-divert isn't really great.  For one thing, it can only be done once, so you'll get errors if you try to install both packages.00:15
bluesabreBut hopefully not many people install (x)ubuntu-(mate-)live-settings at the same time00:16
Unit193Precisely why I said it was low risk, it's only for the live image.00:17
Unit193In an ideal world, this would be an alternative.00:17
bluesabrethat's not good00:44

krytenUnexpectedly much desktopy!00:49
krytenAnd well, I only got the actual Desktop one there, but even then it looks kinda out of place in this view.. :300:50
Unit193Want to try new thunar, kryten?00:53
bluesabreShew, looks like it was a bad local installed elementary-xfce00:54

Unit193bluesabre: Good news.  Curious, do you scan buildlogs? :>00:56
Unit193Aka, did you notice that "defined, but unused" note?00:56
bluesabreUnit193: generally scan them, yeah00:57
bluesabreThe defined, but unused I've learned to ignore00:57
bluesabre*shame on me*00:57
Unit193That's one to look into, used but undefined is fine.00:57
bluesabreI'll keep an eye out going forward00:58
bluesabreUnit193: so, I take it you have a thunar package in the works? Any yeah, seems the way too many desktops was a local /not-thunar issue00:58
Unit193Well, not precisely?00:59
Unit193http://paste.openstack.org/show/FaxTvqr1xxL5aAirODIR is what I had, only started.01:00

surveyor3[m]I have limited data plan, if I install on a virtual machine Xubuntu 20.04 and just update through the updater is it enough to test it or I have to download the daily ISO?09:33

bluesabreUnit193: I suspect they may block xubuntu-default-settings, since it's a graphical change, but I think everything else should land10:53
bluesabrethough we don't have screenshots anywhere (except my blog)10:54
jphilipsgraphical, but a bug :D11:05
Unit193Not a bug.11:08
bluesabreUbuntu flavors are still Ubuntu after all, not a bug, just branding... if anything it's an undocumented hack ;)11:33
bluesabreA hack I'm willing to do because the leader of Ubuntu Mate became the desktop lead, so his example is clearly not too frowned upon :D11:34
jphilipsincorrect branding is a bug in my view12:07
Unit193Xubuntu is Ubuntu, soo not incorrect.12:08
Unit193bluesabre: I'd like tot see that with alternatives in the future, not that you're in control of that. :312:08
jphilipsrepeat: was there a reason why we don't ship the new folder thumbnailer added in xfce 4.1413:02
jphilipshttps://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tumbler#customized_thumbnailer_for_folders13:02
Unit193I seem to remember from a distro standpoint there was something crappy about enabling it, while from a userstandpoint it was easier, or cleaner, or something.13:06
brainwashjphilips: probably because there was no request to do it13:12
jphilipswe have a number of thumbnailing scripts enabled by default already, so adding one more so users don't have to manually do it with sudo seems like a big win to me13:15
jphilipsbrainwash: let me file one then :D13:15
Unit193There was more to it than that...From what I remember.13:17

dawid_mlynHello World : )13:32
dawid_mlynI was testing xubuntu core as my main Operating System on my old macbook 3.1 (from late 2007).13:35
jphilipshi dawid_mlyn. anything to report about xubuntu core?13:38
dawid_mlynWhen it boots from USB key the keyboard is not working properly - i.e. only a few keys are active, as if the numlock was on. The issue is, there is no numlock key, as this is a laptop.13:39
dawid_mlynSo I could not enter the user name or password until I figured out, that I can run 'numlockx toggle' command, to turn the numerical keys off.13:40
Unit193Sounds like laptop-detect doesn't think your laptop is a laptop.13:41
Unit193In lightdm, there's a script enabled to try and check.  You should be able to disable that, or remove numlockx.13:41
dawid_mlynYeah, I was not sure where to set it up. I looked at /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xubuntu-numlock.conf and /etc/default/numlockx13:43
dawid_mlynIn the end I solved it by creating empty file named 'numlockx toggle', so I could copy the command and paste it in the terminal. Once I had my keyboard working, I installed the OS and after booting from SSD, I have modified /etc/default/numlockx13:44
Unit193Well as noted, you could simply remove the package to solve that issue.  But you can also see what laptop-detect says (laptop-detect;echo $?)13:45
Unit193Ah.13:45
dawid_mlynGive me a few minutes. I'll check it now.. I just need to boot the macbook13:46
dawid_mlynIt returns '1'.13:54
dawid_mlynI have downloaded the newest ISO just now. Will check the result again when I boot from the USB.13:54
dawid_mlynhttps://i.imgur.com/26sMZEJ.png14:03
dawid_mlynIt is the same when I boot from USB.14:03
Unit193Congrats, your laptop is a desktop! :P14:05
dawid_mlynhttps://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-white-13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html14:05
dawid_mlynThis white macbooks used to be quite popular back in the day.. I wonder why laptop detection is not working. Where should I report it to further investigate it?14:06
Unit193What's it say when you run it with -v?  If you file a bug on LP about this, please be sure to include debug output.14:08
dawid_mlynIt says "We're not on a laptop (no relevant hint found)".14:09
dawid_mlyn114:09
dawid_mlynThe battery is dead on this machine, but that should not be enough to fool laptop-detection script..14:10
Unit193Correct, that shouldn't.  Honestly?  For best results, likely on https://gitlab.com/debiants/laptop-detect would be the most likely to get it fixed.14:11
Unit193(Also I need sleep, so my English is terrible right now, as you can see.)14:11
dawid_mlynI can understand you pretty well ; ) Thanks for checking it with me : )14:13

EickmeyerWe've got an interesting bug for ristetto. (bug 1873244). Turns out ristretto believes there is more to the image and makes the windows "scrollable" when it's not. It's apparent in materia, but not so much in other themes that use a gradient.14:50

jphilips-liveis the service that catfish is reliant on, installed by default?23:39
