But got a lot done again 22:07:41 we have 3 different terminal emulators, can something be done to reduce this to at least two? xcfe4-terminal and xterm? 22:07:49 We should have good plymouth themes for everyone now, right? 22:07:51 (and hide xterm from the menus) 22:07:53 .. 22:08:01 (micahg: feel free to add if I forgot something ;-) 22:08:15 o/ 22:08:19 o/ 22:08:21 mr_pouit: you were going to remove a couple of terms from Accessories, or did we forget to tell you? 22:08:30 GridCube: yeah we can hide xterm/uxterm from the default menu 22:08:39 madnick: go ahead? 22:08:41 Is the bug in plymouth fixed? 22:08:58 It isn't fixed on the latest image 22:09:06 okay 22:09:06 .. 22:09:13 but updates seem to be held up waiting for the new ubiquity to get there, too. 22:09:16 mr_pouit, that would be useful to reduce redundancy and confusion (..) 22:09:16 madnick: the typos? Not yet (as it doesn't seem to break anything, it can wait for after the beta, right?) 22:09:32 mr_pouit: I suppose :) 22:09:42 micahg: your question/comment? 22:10:12 we have 4 FTBFS sources from the archive rebuild including xubuntu-docs 22:10:23 but unless we have new docs for oneiric, we can fix after beta 22:10:46 GridCube: please file a bug against xubuntu-default-settings for anything related to the menu (it'll be done after the beta, and without a bug report as reminder it'll be forgotten) 22:10:49 I will have to track the docs guys down and see if we are getting the new stuff in 22:11:00 also, I added back japanese to the alternate CD, there's more room, so I could add back another language as wel 22:11:06 (will do) 22:11:09 mmh, the person who took care of the docs in natty isn't very active lately 22:11:11 .. 22:11:25 yeah, we seem to have that problem with docs 22:11:49 We really need someone to step up and work on them. 22:12:33 I'm afraid that we'll only replace 11.04 by 11.10 in the docs for this cycle :< 22:12:45 micahg: between you and mr_pouit, you will decide what to do with the cd's. 22:13:00 Well, sometimes that is all we can do. 22:13:37 Any other comments / questions for packaging and development? 22:14:05 [TOPIC] ==== Bug Triage & Testing ==== 22:14:05 TOPIC: ==== Bug Triage & Testing ==== 22:14:42 We done really good testing daily images this week.

It did crash with no bluetooth 22:25:36 blueman, micahg ? 22:25:39 yep 22:25:43 Let's file it then 22:25:43 !info blueman 22:25:44 blueman (source: blueman): A Graphical bluetooth manager.
