bluesabreOther than maybe adding more details to the UX Updates section, I think the release notes are done. Anybody that wants to make any additions or changes, please feel free to! https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/21.04/release-notes :)06:40
jphilipsbluesabre: I see the 4.14.5 xfwm SRU in software updater06:43
bluesabrejphilips: I suspect that'06:44
bluesabres in the SRU staging ppa06:44
bluesabreI don't see it in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4, so I don't think its been uploaded yet06:44
jphilipsi disabled -proposed after an ubuntu dev mentioned that it broke his system06:47
jphilipsyes i see i'm subscribed to the SRU ppa07:29
jphilipsbluesabre: presume the SRU is still pending to be accepted upstream08:08
jphilipsdefault settings and documentation are missing for vietnamese - https://www.transifex.com/xubuntu/dashboard/all_projects/vi/10:16
bluesabrexubuntu-default-settings with more translation updates should land today10:17
jphilipswhat i meant is that vietnamese translators don't have the option to translate those two projects10:18
bluesabreoh I see, the languange isn't enabled10:18
jphilipsyep10:19
bluesabreEnabled now10:20
jphilipsthanks. i just reached out to vietnamese translators to help translate xubuntu :D10:20
bluesabreAwesome. It's unlikely we'll be doing any more uploads at this point, so no rush.10:23
jphilipsyep sil2100 mentioned that a few days ago10:25
jphilipsdo translation updates not come during a release?10:26
bluesabreNot usually, though they could. We don't publish new ISOs, so they'd only be available via updates. As with anything, they'd have to go through the SRU process, so at the very least upload, spot-check, wait 7+ days. With the exception of LTS, the work outweighs the benefit.10:34
bluesabreI think translation updates for interim releases don't fall into one of the SRU categories: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When10:38
jphilipsi'm pushing the translators in the telegram group to both translate xfce and xubuntu, so atleast if we can get the xubuntu translations pushed every 2 months, if there is sufficient work done, that would be a great motivator10:39
jphilipsxfce translations would come with new point releases and presume that would be more scrutinized.10:40
bluesabreThe other thing is that Transifex targets the master branch which just follows the current in-development release, so it stands to reason that there could be deviation between the releases and not all updates would be applicable.10:41
bluesabreIn the end, it comes down to somebody doing the packaging work and uploads or sponsorships, and translations for interim releases are just the lowest priority for me at least. :D10:41
bluesabreUnit193 might feel differently, or somebody outside of us could do the packaging and seek sponsorship10:42
bluesabreWe need more folks getting that experience anyway, so if somebody is motivated, I won't stop them.10:43
bluesabre21.04 Release Tracking: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/hirsute-hippo-21-04-release-status-tracking/21700/210:45
jphilipsrelease notes look good. can i spread the word about it on social media?10:52
bluesabreI'd recommend waiting until the release candidate images are available.10:56
bluesabreWhich I believe should be sometime today.10:56
bluesabreSince we updated them, I added a page for all of the global keyboard shortcuts in 21.04 and linked to it from the release notes: https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/21.04/keyboard-shortcuts11:42
bluesabreThat's it from me today, bbl11:43
jphilipsthis has been an annoying bug for me. should we consider including our own .desktop file with the fix suggested in comment 14 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-font-viewer/+bug/184536215:28
ubot3Launchpad bug 1845362 in gnome-font-viewer (Ubuntu) "gnome-font-viewer crashed with signal 5 in _XEventsQueued()" [High, Confirmed]15:28
bluesabreSounds like a bad hack.20:59
remlineWe would be lucky if we could fix *all* software bugs by simply passing the "debug" flag. :)21:03
Unit193No you're right, I tend to only do SRU's for crashing bugs or memleaks.22:36
Unit193https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin/compare/master...davekeogh:main well that makes things even more fun, then..23:17
