Sep 02 15:01:22 hey. Who all is here for the Xfce meeting? Sep 02 15:01:33 * nirik sees cwickert, but no mether. ;( Sep 02 15:02:30 cwickert: shall we go ahead? or try and wait for mether? Sep 02 15:02:58 nirik: looks like mether is not around, so we should start without him Sep 02 15:03:07 ok Sep 02 15:03:12 --- nirik has changed the topic to: Xfce SIG meeting Sep 02 15:03:18 where shall we start? Sep 02 15:04:02 menus? Sep 02 15:04:07 open bugs? Sep 02 15:04:41 I think we have discussed most points recently, but nevertheless... Sep 02 15:04:49 lets start with open bugs Sep 02 15:04:59 ok Sep 02 15:05:26 oh, did you see bug 459853 ? Sep 02 15:05:28 Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=459853 high, medium, ---, kevin@tummy.com, ASSIGNED, orage fails to do anything Sep 02 15:05:56 not yet, wait a moment Sep 02 15:05:59 need to investigate that more and try and track it down. Feel free to join in if you have ideas on it. Sep 02 15:06:57 <-- mdomsch has quit ("Leaving") Sep 02 15:08:21 no ideas. didnÄt we already have a bug with orage not showing up? but this was due to mcs-manager not running, right? Sep 02 15:08:49 yeah, it doesn't work unless mcs-manager is running... Sep 02 15:08:57 but the reporter claims it is... Sep 02 15:09:07 anyhow, will investigate more. Sep 02 15:09:19 next on bug 457740 Sep 02 15:09:21 Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=457740 medium, medium, ---, kevin@tummy.com, ASSIGNED, xfce does not respect xdg user directory paths Sep 02 15:09:21 for me orage works fine, I can't reproduce this Sep 02 15:09:43 --> lfoppiano_ (n=lfoppian@host116-43-dynamic.5-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:09:48 places and xfdesktop are already updated Sep 02 15:10:03 ok, so Thunar is pending? Sep 02 15:10:46 I have not yet build it because I want to talk about https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450784 before Sep 02 15:10:47 Bug 450784: low, low, ---, kevin@tummy.com, NEW, RFE: Enhance Thunar's 'Send to' menu Sep 02 15:10:57 opinions? Sep 02 15:11:17 * nirik looks again Sep 02 15:12:53 --> John5342 (n=John5342@user-54470a1c.wfd82a.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:13:04 right. I see his point, but there isn't any easy way to do it not in thunar right now. Sep 02 15:13:12 and if a better way comes along we can undo the changes in thunar. Sep 02 15:13:25 <-- John5342 has quit (Remote closed the connection) Sep 02 15:13:41 I say we add those (minus the xfprint one) Sep 02 15:13:57 --> John5342 (n=John5342@user-54470a1c.wfd82a.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:14:35 ok then, shall I go ahead? Sep 02 15:14:53 yeah, as far as I am concerened. Sep 02 15:14:57 do you want me to dreate a patch or do we want to keep the files in cvs Sep 02 15:15:07 we shouldn't do xfprint tho. It's not something we should encourage. Sep 02 15:15:23 either way... I think a patch is probibly better. Sep 02 15:16:29 <-- kital has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) Sep 02 15:17:03 The files should not change that often so a patch is fine. I will do one for everything except xfprint Sep 02 15:17:22 excellent. Sep 02 15:17:52 now we still have this icon problem, it's not thunar specific but also affects xfdesktop Sep 02 15:18:16 ok, which icon problem? what icons to use for the menu items? Sep 02 15:18:37 depending on the icon theme some icons are not shown because the names in Rodent and gnome/fedora don't match Sep 02 15:19:10 is that just for other locales? or en_US as well? Sep 02 15:19:18 for all locales Sep 02 15:20:23 ok, so what do we do? try and change icons as best we can? or ? Sep 02 15:20:24 look at /usr/share/Thunar/sendto/thunar-sendto-email.desktop for example Sep 02 15:20:49 the best we can I think, so I changed most icons to a common namespace Sep 02 15:21:09 I only see that icon in oxygen-icon-theme-4.1.0-1.fc9.noarch. ;( Sep 02 15:21:24 <-- fugolini (n=francesc@host30-37-dynamic.11-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) has left #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:21:34 yeah, that really is a bug because it's not in Rodent ether Sep 02 15:21:56 so in case of doubt should we change to Rodent or Gnome? Sep 02 15:22:10 I would prefer Rodent.. since we will know it's there. Sep 02 15:22:31 no we don't, we dropped the deps and made it optional Sep 02 15:22:43 oh, right... shoot. ;( Sep 02 15:22:51 <-- lfoppiano_ has quit ("Ex-Chat") Sep 02 15:23:09 <-- fab has quit ("Leaving") Sep 02 15:23:20 we switched to Fedora because it is installed on every system and practically it cannot be removed Sep 02 15:23:45 <-- smooge (n=smooge@int.smoogespace.com) has left #fedora-meeting ("-ENOTIME") Sep 02 15:24:05 right. Sep 02 15:25:24 ok, sorry about that... got sidetracked here. Sep 02 15:25:32 so, what do you reccomend? Sep 02 15:25:35 <-- J5 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) Sep 02 15:26:10 in case of doubt use gnome, but thins only affects one icon I think Sep 02 15:26:20 and I just found a replacement Sep 02 15:26:25 --> J5 (n=quintice@c-76-24-17-105.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:26:25 ah ha. cool. Sep 02 15:27:18 ok, then with the icons fixed and the sendto patch I will build thunar Sep 02 15:27:20 next? Sep 02 15:27:54 bug 450425 Sep 02 15:28:05 Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=450425 medium, low, ---, kevin@tummy.com, ASSIGNED, screen locking doesn't work (patch attached) Sep 02 15:28:59 I think your patch is good there Sep 02 15:28:59 are you fine with prefering gnome-screensaver over xscreensaver if both are installed? Sep 02 15:29:13 yeah, you make a good point about user switcher. Sep 02 15:29:55 the general problem is: if gss is installed it will get started everytime by xinitrc Sep 02 15:30:15 what if someone want's to have it installed but not started? Sep 02 15:30:42 well, it was/is the same way now with xscreensaver... Sep 02 15:31:07 /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc starts it if installed. Sep 02 15:31:24 yes, so a user needs an own xinitrc Sep 02 15:32:00 if they don't want to use them, but have them installed, yes. Sep 02 15:32:15 I think thats fine. Sep 02 15:32:23 ok, I'd don't think there is mich we can do about it Sep 02 15:32:37 yeah. Sep 02 15:33:08 in a perfect worls there would be helper and a selector in preferred apps Sep 02 15:33:13 <-- lfoppiano has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) Sep 02 15:33:22 but this would require changes deep deep down in exo Sep 02 15:33:46 yep. Sep 02 15:33:54 so, I say go ahead with the patch for now. Sep 02 15:34:26 ok, and I'm pretty sure that if we apply this fix in xfce4-session it will also fix the other bugs with the screensaver msc plugin Sep 02 15:35:10 btw: there is a bug in xfce's bugzilla that suggests a helper script called xfscreensaver4 Sep 02 15:35:11 yeah. Sep 02 15:35:20 that picks a pref ? or ? Sep 02 15:35:51 the mcs plugin will always find this file, so mcs manager won't hang. also you can change the screensaver in the helperscript. Sep 02 15:36:11 that's not optimal, but better than hardcoded in source ;) Sep 02 15:36:21 true. Easier to mod Sep 02 15:36:28 for the end user. Sep 02 15:36:41 --> adrianr_ (n=adrian@pD9E4D77F.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:36:51 --> themayor (n=jack@dsl081-200-018.nyc2.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:37:06 but it would still mean modifiying a file we provide in a package, which is messy. Sep 02 15:37:39 yeah, I don't think we should include an additional command not documented somewhere Sep 02 15:37:57 right, that also would be confusing. ;( Sep 02 15:37:59 if this is needed it should be added to xflock upstream Sep 02 15:38:39 your patch just modifies xinitrc and xflock4, right? Sep 02 15:38:49 right Sep 02 15:38:56 someone who really wants could mod those themselves too... Sep 02 15:39:01 they are just scripts. Sep 02 15:39:31 it modifies two things: 1. prefer gss 2. check for running screensaver, not installed Sep 02 15:40:20 right. I think we should just go with that instead of making a xfscreensaver4... until upstream makes that kind of change. Sep 02 15:40:25 we should keep ours to min. Sep 02 15:40:43 yes, so on to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445986 Sep 02 15:41:04 Bug 445986: low, low, ---, davidz@redhat.com, CLOSED RAWHIDE, RFE: Include a fedora logo for the Xfce panel Sep 02 15:41:19 yeah, I don't see it either. ;( Shall we reopen? Sep 02 15:41:30 +1 Sep 02 15:41:31 spot has taken over that package now. Sep 02 15:41:44 uh oh Sep 02 15:41:46 * spot hides Sep 02 15:41:48 :) Sep 02 15:42:04 spot: can you see why fedora-logos doesn't have our logo yet? Sep 02 15:42:05 <-- chacha_chaudhry has quit ("Ex-Chat") Sep 02 15:42:36 * nirik checks cvs Sep 02 15:42:41 uhhh, probably because no one has touched that package in eons? Sep 02 15:43:26 let me get the good liquor and i'll come fix that package in a few minutes. Sep 02 15:43:27 they claimed to have... Sep 02 15:43:39 spot: not true http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=60191 Sep 02 15:44:00 spot: only a week old Sep 02 15:44:07 ok, the icon is there, but missing from files? Sep 02 15:44:33 i need to fix that package anyways Sep 02 15:44:36 no, it should have been in the build. weird. Sep 02 15:44:53 it's not in the rpm, nit sure if it's in cvs Sep 02 15:44:57 oh, not installing it. Sep 02 15:45:07 it's in the upstream source, but it doesn't install it. Sep 02 15:45:20 anyhow, thanks spot if you can fix that up. ;) Sep 02 15:46:26 cwickert: ok, thats most of the pressing bugs... any further topics? spin? Sep 02 15:46:40 --> ldimaggi_ (n=ldimaggi@c-76-19-171-76.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #fedora-meeting Sep 02 15:46:55 most of what I think is written down in the wiki in the talk page Sep 02 15:47:05 yep. Sep 02 15:47:17 and we already discussed the informal, so we don't need to do it again Sep 02 15:47:19 so are there any approved spins we could use to see what a test plan they would like would be? Sep 02 15:48:01 maybe you could give some feedback and then we can talk about my suggestions later with mether Sep 02 15:48:26 ok. Sep 02 15:48:41 oh, I would also say it might be nice to toss midori in, but not as default or anything. Sep 02 15:50:17 not sure on catfish... I haven't used it, or tracker in ages. Sep 02 15:50:59 catfish is from the same guy who does midori Sep 02 15:51:11 not sure about removing the splash screen... is that patch pretty stable? I saw it on the list not too long ago. Sep 02 15:51:18 I think tracker really is to mich Sep 02 15:51:20 I guess we could revert it if it causes problems. Sep 02 15:51:43 yeah, the patch is stable, it decreases the time to login by half I'd say Sep 02 15:51:46 ok, I am ok for going with catfish then... Sep 02 15:52:02 ok, like I said we can always revert if it has any issues. Sep 02 15:52:25 all the other changes seem fine to me. Sep 02 15:52:51 ok, this is two fixes in xfce4-session: screen locking and faster startup Sep 02 15:53:04 yeah. Sep 02 15:53:26 have you had time to look at xfce4_xicon1.svg Sep 02 15:53:34 dann Sep 02 15:53:38 damn... Sep 02 15:53:57 ? Sep 02 15:53:58 did you look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446981 Sep 02 15:53:59 Bug 446981: low, low, ---, kevin@tummy.com, ASSIGNED, gnome-keyring-daemon not started even if "launch gnome services" is checked Sep 02 15:54:06 also affects xfce4-session Sep 02 15:54:12 <-- J5 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) Sep 02 15:54:16 yeah. thats another one. ;( Sep 02 15:54:36 yeah, we should fix that. ;( Sep 02 15:54:39 <-- themayor has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) Sep 02 15:54:43 I did not yet try the patch Sep 02 15:55:04 nor have I, but I can do so... Sep 02 15:55:11 or would you like to? Sep 02 15:55:22 not this week I think Sep 02 15:55:33 I can try. Sep 02 15:55:39 or not before feature freeze on 9th Sep 02 15:55:41 ok Sep 02 15:55:54 are there any more topics for tonight? Sep 02 15:56:08 I suggest we discuss the rest with mether Sep 02 15:56:08 and if it looks ok I can check it in... shouldn't cause any conflicts with any other session changes you might be doing... Sep 02 15:56:14 ok, sounds good to me. Sep 02 15:56:24 I also suggest to move to a weekly schedule for the meetings Sep 02 15:56:39 yes, that sounds good to me too. Bi-weekly meetings confuse me. Sep 02 15:56:50 even if we just do a quick meeting to go over open bugs. Sep 02 15:57:13 we can do half an hour every week instead of one every two weeks Sep 02 15:57:22 sure, sounds fine to me. Sep 02 15:58:00 are you fine with 22:00 UTC? Sep 02 15:58:01 oh, as a side note, I am running Xfce on my phone now. ;) It's debian, but still... pretty cool that it can fit there ok. Sep 02 15:58:15 22 would work for me as well. Sep 02 15:58:33 I think sometimes that conflicts with packaging tho, doesn't it? let me check Sep 02 15:58:58 according to the wiki it's free Sep 02 15:59:16 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel Sep 02 15:59:20 ok. Sep 02 15:59:35 ok, then Sep 02 15:59:44 btw: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LXDE Sep 02 15:59:58 even lighter than Xfce Sep 02 16:00:27 yeah, I have seen that... wonder if it's available in debian/arm Sep 02 16:00:55 I know it's in debian, not sure if there are arm packages Sep 02 16:01:04 anyhow, thanks for all your work... Sep 02 16:01:09 what phone do you have? Sep 02 16:01:20 openmoko freerunner. ;) Sep 02 16:01:34 robert had one on the FrOSCon Sep 02 16:02:03 ok, that's enough for today, really tired now and need to go to bed Sep 02 16:02:05 --- nirik has changed the topic to: Channel is used by various Fedora groups and committees for their regular meetings | Note that meetings often get logged | For questions about using Fedora please ask in #fedora | See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel for meeting schedule Sep 02 16:02:11 thanks again. sleep well. Sep 02 16:02:16 thanks for your time
