| [14:34] <RikMills> mamarley: I guess you have been trying the 5.19 beta? Any issues? | |
| [14:35] <mamarley> RikMills: I have indeed! Most everything seems fine. I did find and report one small bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421779 | |
| [14:35] <ubottu> KDE bug 421779 in general "Powerdevil icon disappears at each login starting with 5.18.90" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | |
| [14:37] <RikMills> odd. thanks :) | |
| [14:37] <RikMills> I'll copy it to the normal staging ppas in a bit | |
| [14:37] <mamarley> Thanks! You do a wonderful job. :) | |
| [14:40] <BluesKaj> reboot went fine here after commenting proposed | |
| [14:41] <mamarley> The offending package ended up getting deleted. | |

| [14:57] <BluesKaj> ok good stuff :-) | |
| [17:04] <krieghof> Hello I have a weird Bug with Kubuntu. Gnome-Boxes doesn't respect my language settings. As it seems no gtk app is respecting the language. Any Idea how to fix this? | |
| [17:18] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, this on vm or native? | |
| [17:18] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> im having a display resizing on the latest focal update on my vm virtualbox .. ubuntu + plasma wayland working but not x11 :( | |
| [17:21] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> VM | |
| [17:23] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> there is new kernel update .. lets see if this update help it go back to normal | |
| [17:34] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, kvm ? | |
| [17:34] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> Virtualbox | |
| [17:34] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> i see .. 6.1.8 ? | |
| [17:34] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> 5.2.39+git | |
| [17:34] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> owh .. | |
| [17:35] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> I didn't like 6.x | |
| [17:35] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, mind to share what u dont like with? | |

| [17:35] <ubottu> KDE bug 407058 in common "KDE Plasma5 can't change resolution in VM after last update" [Normal,Confirmed] | |
| [17:35] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @ubottu, owh .. so its not only me .. | |
| [17:35] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> i thought im the only one | |
| [17:35] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> but its work fine with plasma wayland | |
| [17:35] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> is it kinda weird ? | |
| [17:36] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> @myfenris, When I first tried it parts of the UI were bad with a dark theme. That may be fixed now, but I have just stayed on 5.2 as it still does what I want | |
| [17:37] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, ok thanks | |
| [17:38] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> ubuntu x11 also even worst .. just black screen after login ... kde plasma can login but the resolution stick to 800x600 | |
| [17:39] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> is it x11 bugs or virtualbox 6.1.x ? | |
| [17:50] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> https://old.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/g8bfeg/fyi_how_to_make_kde_plasma_work_at_resolutions/ | |
| [17:50] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> can above link help to solved ? | |
| [17:51] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> temporary ? | |
| [17:51] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> " If Kscreen is unloaded, the guest screen resolution can only be changed with xrandr or with the VM host's guest autosize functionality. System settings will no longer have a page for setting the screen resolution." | |
| [17:56] <RikMills> no idea | |
| [17:58] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> ok thanks ! | |

| [18:08] <ubottu> bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1789545 in virtualbox-guest-additions "Can't auto-resize display on Fedora 31 guest VM" [Medium,On_qa] | |
| [18:26] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, when its going to be release for focal ? | |
| [18:27] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> @myfenris, It's not. it needs Qt 5.14 | |
| [18:27] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> ouch ... okie | |
| [18:28] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, does this bugs fixed in groovy? | |
| [18:28] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> i mean kde 5.18.9 | |
| [18:28] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> I don't know, but I suspect not | |
| [18:29] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> bcoz the bugs is still open right .. else should be close already | |
| [18:29] <IrcsomeBot> <RikMills> Virtualbox 5.2 never triggers the bug, so I can't tell | |
| [19:28] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> @RikMills, tried with 5.2.42 | |
| [19:28] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> plasma still cant change display :( | |
| [19:29] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> but the gnome work compared the 6.1.x which cant logon to x11 | |
| [19:38] <IrcsomeBot> <myfenris> sorry ... the auto-resize guest display works! | |

| [22:29] <Guest21786> Hi there | |
| [22:36] <Guest21786> Who is the best person to talk to about QA? | |
| [22:58] <valorie> qa of what? | |
| [22:59] <valorie> we do lots of testing before releases, esp. in #ubuntu-quality | |
| [23:00] <valorie> all the flavors pitch in and test each others' ISOs | |
| [23:00] <valorie> and there is some pre-release testing in here | |
| [23:01] <valorie> if you hang out in the chan for some days you'll hear about it -- much of our devel team is in europe, so it's pretty quiet in their night | |
| [23:01] <valorie> Guest21786: ^^^ | |
| [23:01] <Guest21786> I am exploring the idea of contributing for testing but I was hoping someone who knows all the areas of QA to basically give me an overview. So I can get an idea of how I can slot in. | |
| [23:02] <Guest21786> I don't fancy reinstalling Kubuntu on my machine to test though so I don't know how I will be able to contribute | |
| [23:13] <Guest21786> valorie: ^^ | |
| [23:14] <valorie> well, much testing is done in a VM | |
| [23:14] <valorie> if your machine has enough power it's easy enough to install vbox or so | |
| [23:15] <valorie> that said, much of QA is getting people to actually file bug reports | |
| [23:15] <valorie> and having people triage those reports and test to see if they are reproducible | |
| [23:16] <valorie> and then of course to propose and test a fix if possible | |
| [23:16] <valorie> fortunately, it's easy to file BRs in ubuntu | |
| [23:17] <valorie> `ubuntu-bug packagename` in the cli | |
| [23:17] <Guest21786> I see, ok | |
| [23:18] <valorie> so what are you interested in doing? | |
| [23:18] <Guest21786> I can file bug reports easily just by using the OS I guess | |
| [23:18] <valorie> you might subscribe to kubuntu-devel ML too | |
| [23:18] <valorie> and see what's going on | |
| [23:18] <Guest21786> Will it go over my head if it's more about coding? | |
| [23:19] <valorie> right now, there is a discussion about re-creating our CI system | |
| [23:19] <Guest21786> Sometimes I feel like I want to contribute and help, on the other hand I am put off by my lack of knowledge on some technical asepcts | |
| [23:19] <valorie> CI=continuous integration, in this case for packaging | |
| [23:19] <Guest21786> aspects* | |
| [23:19] <valorie> eh | |
| [23:20] <valorie> I'm a grandma, and can only be called "technical" at the most basic level | |
| [23:20] <Guest21786> Okay, I know enough about CI to know that it's part of the dev process | |
| [23:20] <valorie> cool | |
| [23:20] <Guest21786> Is IRC the main channel of comms for the team? | |
| [23:20] <Guest21786> My questions are quite general at this point | |
| [23:21] <valorie> IRC and the list | |
| [23:21] <valorie> for instance https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2020-May/011840.html | |
| [23:21] <Guest21786> Like, how big is the team? What tools do you guys use? Who is in charge of what? | |
| [23:21] <valorie> small team, we're not all guys | |
| [23:21] <valorie> as for specific tools, unsure | |
| [23:21] <valorie> rik mills is our lead devel | |
| [23:22] <Guest21786> Alrighty | |
| [23:22] <valorie> I suggest registering with nickserv | |
| [23:22] <valorie> !register | |
| [23:22] <ubottu> For information on registering your IRC nick, see https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration - For any further help, ask in #freenode. | |
| [23:22] <valorie> if you want to keep using IRC | |
| [23:24] <Guest21786> I'll consider that later | |
| [23:24] <Guest21786> I'll probably read some of the archives to get a sense of the conversations that you all have | |
| [23:25] <valorie> cool | |
| [23:25] <valorie> there is a html of the backlog of this chan going back years | |
| [23:29] <Guest21786> How about voice calls? Does that happen at all every now and then? | |
