knomeDarkTrick, have you reported bug reports for these?07:14
DarkTrickknome, @freecad, yes, @menu doing it now08:24
DarkTrickgeneral question: is it usual, that this release is rather unstable?08:24
DarkTrickI can't even use vlc player anymore -> seg fault on video playback08:24
DarkTrickknome, what package is the menu? I thought xfce4-popup-whiskermenu, but ubuntu-bug says it's not installed08:27
DarkTrickso probably it's something else...08:27
brainwashDarkTrick: xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin09:15
DarkTrickbrainwash, thank you.09:26
Unit193Curious, did you try newer whiskermenus?09:28
DarkTrickUnit193, no, just upgraded09:28
DarkTrickwhich is the latest version?09:29
Unit1932.4.609:29
DarkTrick2.4.3 here09:30
DarkTrickprobably just a matter of updating repos09:30
DarkTrickprobably -> maybe09:30
brainwashwhat is the problem/bug?09:31
DarkTrickbrainwash, bug after upgrade 19.10 -> 20.04 @ application menu: (1) open menu (2) search something (eg "office") (3) press arrow-down key (4) actual: nothing happens, expected: select first entry of menu09:32
brainwashI think that was fixed09:32
brainwashor at least it was reported already09:32

ubot93Issue 8 in panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin "First down arrow key press after search ignored" [Closed]09:33
brainwashfixed a week ago09:33
Unit193Groovy has 2.4.509:33
DarkTrickhm..09:34
Unit193I haven't yet backported to the PPA, was waiting for .6.  I can do that now though...09:34
DarkTrickis it worth then to open an "update-repo" request on launchpad?09:34
DarkTrickUnit193, I'm not sure what your last message means.09:35
DarkTrickthat will fix the bug within the ubuntu repos?09:35
Unit193DarkTrick: Xubuntu team has a PPA that backports 4.14.x and panel plugins/etc.  non-development releases that go to Groovy.  I haven't yet updated whiskermenu in there, and was stating that I could do so (I noted I was waiting until .6 was uploaded to groovy)09:36
DarkTrickgroovy = 20.10, focal = 20.04, I guess09:38
DarkTrickThat mean, hopefully the bug is fixed with 20.10 after you backported09:38
DarkTrick(let me know if I'm wrong :) )09:38
Unit193Yeah groovy is development, backport would be to the PPA for focal.09:39
DarkTrick:)09:39
DarkTricksorry, just to make sure: After the backport it will be in ubuntu repos and shared via general system update?09:41
Unit193Nope.09:41
DarkTrickso I'd file a "update package"-report on launchpad...09:42
brainwash!sru09:42
ubottuStable Release Update information is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates09:42
brainwashread this09:42
DarkTrickI'm aware, that only special things get fixed. But 20.04 is going to be an LTS release... I think a bug in that place is pretty,pretty naster for UX09:44
brainwashis that the case? I mean did anyone report the bug on launchpad yet?09:45
DarkTrickwell, the LTS is not out yet. I wanted to report it right after figuring it out.09:45
brainwashit has been out since April09:46
DarkTrickand there is https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/-/issues/809:46
ubot93Issue 8 in panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin "First down arrow key press after search ignored" [Closed]09:46
DarkTrickso... yes?09:46
brainwashyou can try your luck with a SRU then09:52
DarkTrickbrainwash, is there an easy way to fix to problem for me? e.g. add the ppa of xubuntu and run a SW update?09:53
brainwashnote that this would update other packages also09:54
DarkTrick:/ 09:54
brainwashmaybe you don't want that09:54
brainwashso only update the whiskermenu package09:55
brainwashhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin_2.4.5-1_amd64.deb09:56
brainwashor try to install the groovy package09:56
Unit193Well, note .6 says: - Fix crash during grab check. (xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin Issue #19)09:57

brainwashhere's an example of a SRU09:58
brainwashbug 188682409:58
ubot93Bug 1886824 in xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin (Ubuntu) "Search delay -> update to 2.4.4" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/188682409:58
DarkTrickbrainwash, thank you for the link11:19
DarkTrickI think I'm not going the SRU11:20
DarkTrickis there a (e.g.) wiki page showing the PPA you mentioned above?11:27
DarkTrickI would (1) add the PPA (2) update whiskermenu only (3) deactivate PPA. As the version is higher than in official repos a sys update should not overwrite the newer version11:28
