We're in a meeting. )) 18:48 Meerkat: it will be 3 years 18:49 gilir: you have to make the release notes that release team use for announcement 18:50 phillw, but sergio prepared them ? Or I need to initiate them ? 18:50 gilir: do you have any update for bug 1256588 18:50 bug 1256588 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "PPC: LiveCD installation window vanishes during installation" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1256588 18:50 phillw, I can't fix it, but I can workaround it by removing the slideshow by default on powerpc ISO 18:51 it's not good, but at least it's a better than a not working ISO :-/ 18:51 gilir: from reading the bug, that does seem to be the workarond 18:52 Which means that creating a slideshow that will work on the PowerPC ISO would need to be a work item, no? 18:52 yes, but let include it directly so people doesn't have to do it 18:52 having a working ISO without 'pretty' pictures is better than one that does not work :) 18:52 also should that be on the relase notes why there is not a slideshow? 18:53 SonikkuAmerica, no, all slideshows seem broken on powerpc 18:53 ianorlin, yes 18:53 gilir: That was more thinking ahead, I guess, we can throw it in u-series 18:55 gilir: as ppc ever shrinks, do you wish to support desktop and alternate or, as is seen with slide show, switch to alternate? 18:56 phillw, let's test with the workaround and see after testing if we can support it or not 18:56 okies 18:58 * ianorlin is thinking an email to call for testing the workaround for ppc would be a good idea once in iso 18:58 ianorlin: It's a *smidgen* late for trusty, but in u-series maybe, like I said before 18:58 for the record, I've been nagging lots of good people and we now have a non-pae kernel for any teams and a lubuntu-non-pae 14.04 18:59 good news :-) 18:59 The ppc one is official, so that needs to be resolved through the correct routes 19:00 gilir: between hyperair and bodhi-zazen, I have enough instructions 19:02 gilir: I've confirmed the kernel works okay. Just awaiting the ISO to be tested on real hardware (on going) 19:02 ok 19:05 (( I have somewhat of an update from Comms, but I'm afraid the meeting will end as I'm switching between classes. Just keep going for now. )) 19:05 gilir: one of the other things that has come up is can scrot be told to put screen shots onto the desktop instead of home 19:06 phillw: I think that does not make sense. It would make more sense to put screenshots in the pictures folder though 19:06 phillw, I don't know, but it's a bit late to change the default 19:06 Another item to defer to u-series 19:06 you can put a file option in scrot at the end of it 19:06 gilir: leszek maybe something for 14.10 :) 19:07 or ~/Pictures/screenshots 19:07 ianorlin: yeah that would make most sense but screenshots isn't localized Pictures folder is 19:07 ah 19:08 the request I saw was that make it obvious 19:09 so desktop seems obvious :) 19:09 phillw: instead I would propose maybe use a notify-send which tells the user where the screenshot has been saved to 19:09 (( Gotta go, will be back )) 19:09 maybe even with a button to open up the image directly 19:10 phillw: the other way to make it more obvious would be opening up the image viewer directly showing the screenshot 19:11 leszek: we can look into that for 14.10... The idea of this meet is to chat about critical issues for 14.04 19:11 Can we keep this for after 14.04 ? That doesn't seem critical for 14.04 19:11 yes move to later 19:11 phillw: theoretically on zevenos we also used a script which created some quite of flash effect. scrot; sleep 0.5; xgamma 2.0; sleep 0.5; xgamma 1.0 19:11 gilir: can you drop slide-show from ppc ? 19:12 ok 19:12 phillw, I'll commit it after the meeting 19:13 (( I'm back. )) 19:13 as far as I'm aware, that is the only RED bug for lubuntu 14.04... any others can be handled with release notes... Has any one else got a critical bug that they wish to confess to? 19:13 wb SonikkuAmerica 19:14 not of that I am aware 19:14 I don't know of any either 19:16 gilir: it seems you have built one damn good release!!!! One bug to be addressed and one that affects scrot :) 19:17 phillw, let's hope :-) 19:17 yeah I have a feeling this will be a great release 19:18 although there also is livecd locking issue 19:18 gilir: If I can pull the ISO and inject a non-pae kernel into it and it work seems like a good system :) 19:18 if not other question, I'll take a short break and go back to work tonight :-) 19:19 No questions on bugs from me 19:19 Oh wait 19:19 Hold the phone 19:19 ianorlin: can you explain to gilir ? 19:20 Last I tested, xfce4-power-manager wasn't starting on login... 19:20 ianorlin: the bug number would help 19:20 bug 1281323 19:20 bug 1281323 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "Lubuntu/Xubuntu Live session locks when away from keyboard" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1281323 19:21 he siad earlier he doesn't have time to fix it 19:22 ianorlin: I don't remember that in Xubuntu Trusty (which I'm on now) 19:22 it got fixed in xubuntu by about beta 2 but not in lubuntu 19:23 and is only in live session if you go away 19:24 ianorlin, I try to fix it, but it exposes others problems that I can't fix right now 19:24 ah 19:25 gilir: ianorlin so, release notes and we fight another day? 19:26 yep 19:27 gilir: you okay with that? 19:27 phillw, yes 19:27 And the xfce4-power-manager thing where it's not starting on login? 19:27 (I'm not sure where that goes under, but it's a bug to me) 19:28 SonikkuAmerica, I can't reproduce it on my laptop 19:28 * ianorlin hasn't either 19:28 gilir: Fair enough. Maybe the latest daily fixes it. 19:28 SonikkuAmerica, try to play with laptop-mode settings 19:28 OK 19:28 Nothing further on bugs then 19:29 any further questions / comments ? 19:29 Yes. A quick Comms update 19:29 SonikkuAmerica: go for it :) 19:30 The StartUbuntu project (technically a part of Lubuntu Comms, but still run by Ali/amjjawad) now has an official IRC channel, #ubuntu-start (much to his chagrin because he doesn't used IRC and I went a little bit over his head). 19:31 I cc'ed Lubuntu Comms and Ubuntu GNOME Comms about it in the mailing list. 19:31 * ianorlin got that email 19:31 It has the approval of the IRC Council too, and I seem to have roped an Ubuntu member or 2 in, including pleia2 19:32 SonikkuAmerica: so #tor-dev can be dropped? 19:32 sorry... #torios 19:33 * ianorlin thinks that is different still and note meeting is still going 19:33 phillw: I have to agree with ianorlin. #ubuntu-start is in the StartUbuntu wiki as our official IRC meeting place. 19:34 (We originally met in #start-ubuntu, but we needed to change the name to meet Ubuntu IRC Council specs) 19:35 19:35 Any questions about that? 19:36 SonikkuAmerica: ianorlin this has little input to lubuntu? 19:38 I'm not going to argue about it in this meeting, I'm just updating us on a sub-project of our Communications team. 19:40 (( This wasn't supposed to be a disaster... )) 19:40 Other than that, I'm done. 19:40 * ianorlin has nothing more to add 19:43 (( Where's gilir? )) 19:46 meeting over ? 19:46 (( Is the bot stopped? )) 19:47 ((I think the bot is still going)) 19:47 (( Me too )) 19:51 #endmeeting
