dufluHi seb128 05:39
seb128hey jibel duflu callmepk, how are you?05:40
dufluseb128, going well. Almost looking forward to the 4-day weekend but it will be a little busy05:41
dufluHow are you seb128 ?05:41
seb128better, I feel less tired now, still having some annoyance from the cold but not enough to ruin the day05:42
duflu:/05:42
dufluseb128, should we write our updates on Mondays still?05:43
callmepkhi seb128 , i am okay05:43
seb128we usually said that if you are out on monday it was making sense to wrote it on friday instead, I plan to write mine today05:43
dufluseb128, yeah me too, but I mean without reference to a Tuesday meeting05:43
seb128it probably makes more sense than try to remember things on tuesday morning05:44
seb128ah05:44
seb128yes, the status update make sense even without meeting05:44
seb128though we could discuss changing the day and have people post on friday to wrap the week now05:44
seb128but it has been useful to write on discourse to let the community know what we are up to so we should keep doing that at least05:45

WimpressMorning marcustomlinson o/08:35
WimpressI made a snap of the Yaru MATE theme last night - https://snapcraft.io/gtk-theme-yaru-mate08:36
WimpressThe snapcraft.yaml is here - https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/gtk-theme-yaru-mate-snap/blob/main/snap/snapcraft.yaml08:36
WimpressI am hoping that the gtk-theme-yaru-mate name is correct for the upcoming auto theme install feature?08:37
WimpressI've not included icons in the snap, as I'm not sure if the auto snap theme install supports icons?08:38

oSoMoNricotz, I have updated unity-menubar.patch for firefox 88, could you please push your latest changes to the beta branches so I can push it on top?09:01
marcustomlinsonWimpress: name looks good09:23
marcustomlinsonWimpress: will support icons as well as sounds too09:25
WimpressExcellent. I'll include icons as well then. 09:26
WimpressThanks marcustomlinson 09:26
seb128Wimpress, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-system-monitor/1.24.1-0ubuntu1 has been waiting for verification for 203 days, you might be able to find someone to do that? also there is a comment for you there to unblock the screensaver SRU it seems (needs an update to the description)09:41
WimpressThanks seb128, I'll take a look.09:42
seb128thanks!09:42
WimpressIdeally, all those packages would transition together.09:43
seb128we don't have an easy way to ensure that atm afaik :/09:43
WimpressYeah, that's fine. I'll get the verification done.09:44
WimpressBut all those packages include an important fix for Portuguese users.09:45
jameshWimpress: it'd search for icons in an icon-theme-yaru-mate snap.  With that said, if you had the icons in the gtk-theme-* snap, it would likely work for people using both gtk and icon themes together10:27
bluesabreAny idea what package or configuration might be responsible for RTL language support? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/192074510:45
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1920745 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Apps appear incorrectly when using an RTL language" [Undecided,New]10:45
bluesabreReportedly, this affects Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Mate.10:46
Wimpressjamesh: Thanks. So, I'll make a snap for the icon theme too.10:48
jameshWimpress: I remember you were playing around with OBS Studio a while back.  If you want to make your config more complicated, you might find this project I've been working on interesting: https://github.com/jhenstridge/obs-rtsp-source10:52
jameshWimpress: it makes it relatively easy to integrate cameras shared over the local network into your scenes, with everything self organising for your next session10:53
Wimpressjamesh: I maintain the OBS snap still :-)10:54
WimpressThis plugin is include in the snap already, any interest to you?10:55
Wimpresshttps://github.com/iamscottxu/obs-rtspserver/10:55
jameshWimpress: this is kind of the opposite10:55
WimpressYeah, but I wondered if you're working with RTSP if it might be useful :-)10:55
WimpressThere's also this https://github.com/HewelDesign/OBS-Websocket-Tally-Light10:55
WimpressBut I've not tested it yet.10:56
jameshHook up a camera to another computer (I'm using a raspberry pi), run the software on that node and be able to add that as a source10:56
WimpressI am making extensive use of OBS Websocket. See https://snapcraft.io/obs-cli10:56
jameshUses Avahi to automatically detect when the camera is available/not available and restart the source10:56
jameshso no need to hard code IP addresses or host names10:57
WimpressSounds similar to what NDI can do, but more available.10:57
WimpressI'll add yours to my list of plugins to add to the snap.10:57
jameshI'm basically trying to reproduce the workflow of the old dvswitch software with OBS10:59
jameshbut with less faffing around to get things set up before an event10:59
marcustomlinsonWimpress: sorry for the misleading answer. yeah, for sounds it'd also be sound-theme-blah11:09
WimpressThanks for confirming marcustomlinson 13:23

GunnarHjHi hellsworth!16:56
GunnarHjCan you please take a look at bug #1696250. I'd like to see hide-startcenter-desktop-file.patch dropped, and in the email thread mentioned in the latest comment oSoMoN said he'd be comfortable with doing so.16:56

hellsworthok i'll take a look today :)16:57

marcustomlinsonbye all, have a good easter weekend!17:58
hellsworthcheers and eat lots of chocolate!18:11
mrnhjsHi. I'm trying to test an iso of ubuntu desktop 21.04 beta and after make a bootable usb drive with the iso it does not boot. It gets stuck after selecting an option in grub. I suspect that, as my computer does not have EFI and has BIOS instead and the usb drive created with that iso has a gpt partition table instead of mbr, that prevents from booting I check a usb drive with ubuntu 20.04 and it has a mbr partition table18:36
mrnhjsOn my laptop, the same usb drive boots without any problem. It has EFI.18:52
sarnoldmarcustomlinson: good morning :) hehe18:56
sarnoldmrnhjs: uhoh :) can you file a bug on that, https://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ suggests that should be filed against https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+filebug18:59
mrnhjsOk. Thanks. I'm gonna try again and if I have no success I'll do it.19:12
Wimpresshellsworth: o/19:25
WimpressI logged into IRC for the first time in a week or so today and saw you sent me messages about Orca and Ubiquity.19:26
WimpressI "know" about Ubiquity, but I can direct to members of the community who have been researching this particular bug if you're still seeking people?19:27
hellsworthHi Wimpress ! I am in contact with some mate testers but I'm more interested to talk to who would maintain the ubiquity in mate... can you point me *that* way?19:32
Wimpresshellsworth: Well, that's me :-)19:49
WimpressIn that, whatever MATE "support" Ubiquity required, I added it.19:49
hellsworthwell then i've pointed you to the bug in question :)19:50
hellsworthwhy is the Install panel done with elevated privs? I think that's standing in the way of orca doin its thang19:50
Wimpresshellsworth: Interesting. I have not knowingly done anything to create that Install and Superuser user launcher.20:05
hellsworthWimpress: could you check to see what is different there from the normal ubuntu installer then? because that install panel is not with elevated privs and orca works just fine20:14
WimpressYep.20:15
WimpressWe've got a long weekend here, so I'll have a dig around.20:15
hellsworthmany thanks!20:15
WimpressI might go a check some old releases, because it did used to work.20:15
