Black screen on lock...:( 15:08:16 astraljava, would you be able to be the assignee on that? 15:08:34 I suppose, why not. 15:08:36 (xss because of no regressions at least, and no testing other apps) 15:08:40 great! 15:08:43 xscreensaver with black screen 15:08:48 do we need to vote on this or should we vote? 15:08:52 eh 15:08:59 do we agree or should we vote, i mean 15:09:00 vote 15:09:07 Let's provide better results from testing before we vote. 15:09:22 Count me in for the testing, astraljava! 15:09:23 astraljava, can you explain a bit further? :) 15:09:57 will someone take an action item to test xlockmore, xlockmore-gl, xtrlock, i3lock ? 15:10:02 Was just thinking that maybe I should provide a more detailed report, or is that from ochosi enough? 15:10:22 didn't we just decide to keep with xscreensaver and just disable screensavers by default? 15:10:31 i thought the others weren't as appealing 15:10:32 Ahh... sorry, I'm reading it wrong, then. 15:10:57 Ok, just vote. 15:11:05 and from the testing point of view, xss would be easiest, because it would be just a changed setting 15:11:12 so, what are we voting then? 15:11:21 option 1) is xss with black screen 15:11:30 does anybody disagree with that, and with what option? 15:12:13 Going once... 15:12:16 (xss should already use a blank screen by default) 15:12:26 xss with black screen is good for me if we enable monitor power management 15:12:29 (or at least, we ship a config file for that, maybe it doesn't work) 15:12:50 okay, it's probably working, as i haven't seen any screensaver on my laptop 15:12:52 (Nothing quite like a bright black screen) 15:13:01 is xss so big it's worth removing, if there aren't very good alternatives 15:13:23 Sysi: just feels a bit overkill to have a screensaver app just to do screen locking :) 15:13:35 when screen locking programs exist... but if they aren't so good... 15:13:46 what's xss size then? 15:13:50 it also allows user swithiching and that's good functionality 15:14:22 I think that's why we were hoping lightdm's implementation would be done 15:14:34 the size? 15:15:00 knome: features like user switching, presumably lightdm locking does it too since it's the session manager :) 15:15:23 apt-cache show xscreensaver: Size: 273538 15:15:35 mmh. unfortunately that's not available yet, and tbh, i don't have high hopes for even R 15:15:45 astraljava, what's that in -h ? :P 15:16:05 bah 15:16:16 273KB? 15:17:09 i think that's doable. 15:17:22 does anybody have any other option we should vote about? 15:17:37 screen locking/user switching is already in lightdm, iirc I played a bit with it (gtk-greeter lacks a special ui for that though) 15:17:56 screen locker apps are a bit confusing, though i3lock would let to set image telling to type password to unlock 15:18:17 Sysi, i imagine an image is not translatable :| 15:18:25 yeah 15:18:48 if there is no other options, let's move forward 15:18:58 no action needs to be taken, yay 15:19:00 otherly you just get bell beeps and wonder what's happening, if you don't figure out to type passwd and press enter 15:19:08 yeah :) 15:19:19 #action xubuntu-team to investigate default settings for monitor power management 15:19:19 * meetingology xubuntu-team to investigate default settings for monitor power management 15:19:23 anybody worked on that? 15:19:32 nope 15:19:52 Me neither. 15:20:09 anybody willing to be the assignee instead of lousily leaving it to xubuntu-team? 15:20:29 i would not know what to do with that 15:20:51 are there specific complaints about our current settings? 15:21:08 tbh, i can't remember when this action item is added 15:21:11 or why 15:21:15 a setting i know is bothersome with monitor power management is that parole doesnt stop it while a movie is played on fullscreen so it shuts down in the middle of the play 15:21:28 right 15:21:35 so maybe that's a more precise description 15:21:38 I think that's a bug rather than something to do with default settings 15:21:38 That's a parole bug, IMHO. 15:21:53 * bluesabre hides 15:21:57 GridCube, is that with parole, vlc, both, or others? 15:21:59 ok, i just said thats the only thing i can think about that aspect 15:22:08 I uploaded parole 0.3.0 today to quantal, maybe that's fixed, I didn't retest that 15:22:13 i dont remember knome 15:22:14 * astraljava glares at bluesabre 15:22:14 mr_pouit, \o/ 15:22:19 It's not fixed just yet 15:22:22 i disabled it because it bothered me too mcuh 15:22:26 ok 15:22:26 eh 15:22:32 Hopefully parole 0.3.0.1 15:22:43 bluesabre, mr_pouit, well, bugfix release then. i'll do the FFe's 15:22:52 (unless it lands before FF) 15:23:06 I'll get busy on that 15:23:10 great! 15:23:42 #action bluesabre fixes Parole letting screen to go black while in fullscreen mode and fixes it for 0.3.0.1 15:23:42 * meetingology bluesabre fixes Parole letting screen to go black while in fullscreen mode and fixes it for 0.3.0.1 15:24:00 #subtopic Enable or disable compositor by default? 15:24:11 Sorry, no results yet. 15:24:12 we've had this in at least two meetings, should we just vote? 15:24:30 i think this is more about preferences than actual problems with many users 15:24:56 we should probably look at how xfce/xfwm is started on the live CD, because we have the grey areas there 15:25:07 True. I should write on our -users ML and ask for usage stats. 15:25:13 Wasn't there a consideration to just disable it in the live cd? 15:25:14 or if possible, disable compositor on the "install xubuntu without testing" -mode 15:25:21 compositing causes tearing in videos and games 15:25:21 bluesabre, that too. 15:25:33 disable 15:25:38 i been having some problems with composition lately too, dragged windows keep them selfs in transparent mode no matter what from time to time, i have not find a way to replicate it 15:26:03 if we disable compositing by default, we have to rethink the bottom dock-like panel 15:26:23 ochosi uses a nice background image in his greybird release image 15:26:28 i think disabling it by default might bring us more headache than keeping with it, and trying to fix what it breaks now 15:26:50 bluesabre, i think that bg image works, but it's not as good as the translucent panel, i think 15:27:09 Yeah 15:27:33 astraljava, would either of you look into disabling compositor on live CD? 15:27:47 Right, sure. 15:28:03 #Action astraljava to look into disabling compositor on live CD 15:28:03 * meetingology astraljava to look into disabling compositor on live CD 15:28:16 so let's wait until at least the next meeting before we vote 15:28:22 investigate, then act! :) 15:28:35 Why not act, then investigate? :P 15:28:45 #subtopic Blueprint: Add more launchers to Settings Manager 15:29:00 #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/SettingsManagerApps 15:29:11 i think we're at voting stage with this blueprint 15:29:52 please look through the specification wikipage and shout out loud if you think something in that list should *NOT* be listed under the settings manager 15:30:17 was it Q or R when jockey is going under software-properties? 15:30:29 it is now 15:30:40 ok, so that's an obsolete item 15:31:12 I agree with ochosi's not on the bottom of removing the settings submenu 15:31:15 What's the status of blueman? 15:31:27 micahg, ? 15:32:00 bluesabre, wait, do you mean you think the submenu should be removed or not? :) 15:32:26 submenu should go away, leave a shortcut for the Settings Manager 15:32:28 i'm not 100% sure about compizconfig-settings-manager 15:32:43 is ubuntuone working with xfce/xubuntu? 15:32:57 Yeah, ubuntuone works 15:33:02 ok, then ok to keep that too 15:33:45 anybody else thinks something shouldn't be added to the settings manager? 15:34:27 opinions on compiz-settings-manager? 15:34:32 :( so much lag 15:34:34 i like how it looks :) 15:34:46 its personal? if it is and it brings options then it should go there 15:35:09 compiz is not any *buntu really, but if *all* settings are there.. 15:35:11 well, software-sources isn't personal either 15:35:12 knome: I don't see the need to have it listed - it's not supported so why leave a link for it 15:35:38 i'm thinking the same as elfy 15:35:51 but if somebody installs compiz, is that link visible at all? 15:36:14 it should 15:36:21 it used to leave a menu item in system (in gnome) 15:36:26 many, many, many people like compiz 15:36:41 of course it should, but if we drop the settings-submenu and don't include it in settings manager, *will* it be visible? 15:36:54 anybody knows? 15:36:56 * GridCube doesnt know 15:36:58 you want me to check 15:37:05 elfy, if you can 15:37:27 i'm imagining it won't 15:37:34 2 secs 15:37:47 shouldn't it (re)create that submenu, if we remove items from it instead of just hiding it 15:38:10 Sysi, yes, if we do it like that, but to remove items from that is much harder than just dropping the menu 15:38:24 and i don't know how alacarte handles those "don't lists" 15:38:27 it dropped it into the settings menu 15:38:53 elfy, but you didn't *remove* the settings menu ?:) 15:39:24 ohai micahg! :) 15:39:50 didn't do anything knome - the setup here is vanilla as far as menu's goes 15:40:12 ah yes, that's the issue; we're thinking of changing the menus 15:40:29 blueman SRU should make it into 12.04.1 15:40:42 and we're keeping blueman? :) 15:40:52 do we have a replacement? 15:41:08 didn't you talk about gnome-bluetooth or so? but no, not really 15:41:11 here I have Settings Manager and a whole list of seperate settings listed - a lot of duplicates 15:41:27 gnome-bluetooth uses gnome-control-center, do you want that? 15:41:33 micahg, no. 15:42:07 so, should we vote of keeping or dropping the compiz item first? 15:42:12 then let's see if that's technically possible 15:42:35 #vote Add (+1) or don't add (-1) compizconfig-settings-manager to the Xfce settings manager 15:42:35 Please vote on: Add (+1) or don't add (-1) compizconfig-settings-manager to the Xfce settings manager 15:42:35 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me) 15:42:39 -1 15:42:39 -1 received from knome 15:42:46 knome: in my opinion there should be no duplicates in the settings list 15:42:48 -1 15:42:48 -1 received from elfy 15:42:50 +0 15:42:50 +0 received from astraljava 15:42:58 0 15:42:58 0 received from GridCube 15:43:16 or is it 15:43:19 +0 15:43:19 +0 received from GridCube 15:43:23 either one works 15:43:30 even -0 does 15:43:36 mmkay 15:43:39 or +-0 iirc... 15:43:41 :P 15:43:58 +0 15:43:58 +0 received from pleia2 15:44:04 -1 15:44:04 -1 received from bluesabre 15:44:13 others? 15:44:35 -1 15:44:35 -1 received from DominicLow 15:44:58 #endvote 15:44:58 Voting ended on: Add (+1) or don't add (-1) compizconfig-settings-manager to the Xfce settings manager 15:44:58 Votes for:0 Votes against:4 Abstentions:3 15:44:58 Motion denied 15:45:11 * micahg would -1 that too :) 15:45:20 does anybody think we should vote on other items on the list? 15:45:30 referring to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/SettingsManagerApps 15:45:50 I didn't see any that made me go mad. 15:45:55 what if there's something else that needs settings-submenu 15:46:11 Sysi, we'll just sort that out 15:46:33 maybe we could then have settings manager, and if items outside that should go under settings menu, that too 15:46:37 i imagine that's possible 15:46:52 I'm a bit confused as to why things are in setting manager AND the list in that settings menu 15:46:58 so, who's willing to be the assignee to do this change? (make sure the items appear at settings manager?) 15:47:09 elfy, that can be taken care of too, i think 15:47:15 cant there be a "others" and all other goes there 15:47:17 ? 15:47:41 GridCube, items need to be specifically added to the settings manager, they don't appear there automatically 15:47:56 having compiz in settings manager doesn't seem directly bad, except being like gnome/unity and not really supported 15:48:15 oh, i though it was like the items in the configuration submenu of the start menu 15:48:19 nevermind me then 15:48:24 I feel the same about wine as I do compiz 15:48:51 elfy, wine is fine; it's not specifically supported, but it's not quite unsupported either 15:49:07 assignee for adding the items to settings manager?? 15:49:52 assigning to -team then for now 15:50:10 #action xubuntu-team to add launchers specified in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/SettingsManagerApps to xfce settings manager 15:50:10 * meetingology xubuntu-team to add launchers specified in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/SettingsManagerApps to xfce settings manager 15:50:29 #action xubuntu-team to make sure other "settings" launchers will show up if needed 15:50:29 * meetingology xubuntu-team to make sure other "settings" launchers will show up if needed 15:50:44 so next item! 15:50:58 #subtopic Encryption required for testing on milestones? 15:51:02 astraljava, i think this is yours? 15:51:16 or at least concerns your stuf 15:51:17 +f 15:51:34 Yes, probably. Postpone to the next one, please. 15:51:49 I'll look into it during this coming weekend. 15:51:56 ok :) 15:52:06 #subtopic Testcases feedback 15:52:10 this? :) 15:52:40 Haven't received any, but ISO tracker querying is on my TO-DO also for this coming weekend. 15:53:00 we should call for testing 15:53:09 will you do that on the weekend? 15:53:14 I did, for precise point release. 15:53:22 Didn't I? 15:53:27 do we have a lot of tests? 15:53:27 I think so 15:53:28 I saw it 15:53:32 yes, you did 15:53:47 I'll do another for Beta-1. 15:54:04 i looked into the ISO tracker today, and saw one test 15:54:25 is that our daily average? :/ 15:54:28 Yeah, but I need to figure out the scripts for querying the data from all previous builds. 15:54:34 ok 15:54:46 We aren't getting many tests for dailies. 15:54:47 we could look together at updating the testcases in the tracker. 15:54:51 But that's normaly. 15:54:53 -y 15:54:58 (re: the mail today about it) 15:54:59 I had to slow down I'm afraid 15:55:04 For milestones, we get more. 15:55:16 ok, that's good at least 15:55:31 anyway, next topic? 15:55:38 im trying to fetch the latest images but my internets wheren cooperative 15:55:48 knome, webcam applications 15:55:49 there's the screenlocker thing again, i'll skip that 15:56:08 GridCube, let's get to that once we've gone through the other items on the agenda 15:56:16 :) kay 15:56:34 #subtopic Look at how far astraljava got with xfce4-display dialog 15:56:39 astraljava, i assume postpone? 15:57:02 Yes, but I'll try to get it in before FF, so imagine within a week or so. 15:57:20 * knome tries to imagine like john lennon 15:57:23 I'll announce on #-devel. 15:57:34 Err... here, it seems. 15:57:45 yes :) 15:57:46 * astraljava always forgets these meetings aren't on #-meeting. 15:58:03 (oh how i love that fact! no need to get out of way) 15:58:12 anyway, let's move forward 15:58:19 #topic Team updates 15:58:22 #subtopic Development 15:58:28 micahg, mr_pouit, astraljava, bluesabre 15:59:01 (this is for the reports too, so feel free repeat yourself 15:59:09 (again, #info please!) 15:59:23 #info parole 0.3.0 released, working on fixes for 0.3.0.1 to be released soon 15:59:38 #info blueman SRU in precise-proposed thanks to cyphermox, should make 12.04.1 16:00:01 #info Working with kalikiana to release the updated/revamped catfish before FF 16:00:05 #info xfce4-display should get in by FF, so that updates can be done as bugfixes 16:00:11 #info trying to push bug #1001936 to 12.04.1 (right now) 16:00:12 Launchpad bug 1001936 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu Precise) "GTK3 Grab/Move Triggered on Mouse Click" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1001936 16:00:27 err, push the fix of course, not the bug. 16:01:03 #info xubuntu-shortcuts-overlay probably won't make it for Q, while its mostly done, I've just not so much time with it.
