[14:27] <Ng> evolution is supposed to get authentication details for things like calendars from gnome-keyring, right?
[14:28] <Ng> I just configured my google calendar in it (in intrepid) it never asks me for a password. run from a terminal with debug output it says it was unable to load the calendar because authentication is required
[14:31] <Ng> bleh, nuked gconf:/apps/evolution and ~/.evolution and set it up from scratch and it's working
[14:37] <Keybuk> did you use the Google backend or WebCal?
[14:51]  * Laney stabs Intrepid's gnome-terminal
[14:58]  * cody-somerville stabs Laney by mistake.
[14:58] <tedg> cody-somerville: Did you get a chance to run that GPM and make sure the power button works on Xubuntu?
[14:59] <tedg> I don't want to push it if it breaks XSMP.
[14:59] <cody-somerville> tedg, I didn't check back to see if it had built
[14:59] <cody-somerville> tedg, whats the bug # with the test case?

[15:01] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 252795 in fedora "pressing the "Power" button shows a logout dialog" [Unknown,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/252795
[15:01]  * tedg wonders why the changelog and IRC syntax are different...
[15:02] <tedg> cody-somerville: The test case is to set it to "Ask Me" when the power button is pressed, and press it :)
[15:03] <cody-somerville> tedg, I'll test this if you do me a favour
[15:03] <cody-somerville> tedg, Can you modify the desktop file for g-p-m to show in Xfce4 as well as gnome?
=== hggdh|away is now known as hggdh
[15:04] <tedg> cody-somerville: It's set to show in "XFCE" -- does it need to be different?
[15:05] <cody-somerville> hmm... let me investigate.
[15:05] <tedg> cody-somerville: Wait, the gnome-power-preferences.desktop
[15:05] <tedg> that one isn't XFCE
[15:05] <cody-somerville> ah :)
[15:06] <tedg> cody-somerville: So they all should be "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;"  correct?
[15:07] <cody-somerville> Please.
[15:15] <tedg> cody-somerville: ~ppa3 when it builds should have the new desktop files.
