lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> lxqt-panel, libfm-qt, and pcmanfm-qt all got point releases. https://lxqt-project.org/blog/2023/01/02/3-point-releases/15:19
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> Whoa, Wayland stuff happening!16:19
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> Yeah, they have been working towards it.16:30
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> To help with GTK theming we should add `xsettingsd` to our seed/meta.16:41
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> Which reminds me, I should make sure everything with picom migrated, tag it in Git, and edit The List.17:01
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> I assume I can just add this to The List and do it when I come to it during the LXQt audit in Lubuntu?17:01
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> It looks like it did.17:02
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> Probably good to add it to the list.17:03
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> btw you'll probably need to uninstall compton-conf again yourself.17:04
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> I should put an announcement about that on Discourse (maybe in the Development section this time - I'm not quite sure it was worth a full-on Announcement when we did the PipeWire switch but I didn't remember we had a Development section at the time then)17:05
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> Development is probably a good place for that. On my lunar system I had already removed Compton and Compton-conf to test things out.17:12
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> Will our mixer still work with thhe switch to pipewire (re @lubuntu_bot: (matrix) <arraybolt3> I should put an announcement about that on Discourse (maybe in the Development section this time - I'm not quite sure it was worth a full-on Announcement when we did the PipeWire switch but I didn't remember we had a Development section at the time then))22:37
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> lynorian: If you mean the audio mixer, yes. PipeWire should be fully PulseAudio compatible, so pavucontrol-qt should keep working.22:38
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> And from my own personal experience, I know it works, since I currently am daily-driving Lunar with PipeWire.22:38
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> lol I typed that and realized it22:38
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> ok having picom by default means that terminal tranpareny can now be set without changes but for some reason panel transparcency is still grayed out with picom22:39
* arraybolt3 looks22:39
arraybolt3@lynorian: You have to check the "Background color" box first.22:40
arraybolt3Then the "Background opacity" slider should be made available.22:40
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> with compton-conf being removed does that make it entirely dead and should be removed from the manual23:27
arraybolt3@lynorian: I believe so. I don't know of any equivalent tool for picom.23:28
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> `vim` ;)23:31
arraybolt3:P well yeah, but that's not the same as a standalone configuration tool. (Though how standalone was compton-conf anyway?)23:31
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> I was totally joking23:32
lubot[matrix] <eickmeyer> emacs *hides*23:32
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> Only with evil bindings.23:33
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> Emacs is weird. What even is it trying to be anyway? UNIX stuff does one thing and does it well. Except for Emacs, which apparently tries to take over the entire graphical shell with a text editor...23:33
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> I think obconf-Qt could probably be re-worked but that is a little beyond the scope here.23:34
lubot[matrix] <arraybolt3> I guess not all stuff in UNIX only does one thing but sheesh...23:34
lubot[matrix] <kc2bez> ER compton-conf23:34
lubot[telegram] <lynorian> I just don't want to remove compton-conf from the manual and then have to revert these changes so double checking23:39
kc2bez[m]It won't be installed on a default lunar install so I think it is safe to remove.23:40
arraybolt3It looks like it was quite useful though, we may want to consider at some point writing a picom-conf replacement or something. Maybe I can add that to our "to do at some point" section?23:41
