holsteinScottL: cool02:52
holsteinyeah02:53
holsteinlooks like we got a lot of themes to choose from 02:53
holsteinhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/TaskWebRevamp02:53
holsteinand others right02:53
holstein?02:53
ScottLwell, just two "themes" on the web revamp wiki page really03:11
ScottLbut they have really gotten much better03:11
paultaghey all03:34
paultagI hope all are doing well :)03:34
rlameirohey everyone13:47
rlameiroscott-work: not at uds?13:47
scott-workrlameiro: no :(14:03
scott-worki had a slim chance of managing to go to UDS but alas, too many things needed to line up for it to happen14:04
scott-worknext year i will make one of the UDS's14:04
scott-workmy wife wants me to get sponsored for the next one, which i presume will be in europe if the historical schedule holds14:04
scott-workthat way we can buy her plane ticket and she can go as well14:05
scott-workshe's only flown once before (with me to go to texas tech university) and she's never been out of the state, much less the united states14:06
rlameirook14:06
rlameiromaybe we can meet in Europe next uds :D14:06
scott-workthat would be awesome!14:07
rlameiroit depends where it is, and when14:07
scott-workthere are many people i would like to finally shake hands with...you, luke, emmet14:07
scott-workmaybe even falktx and janne, alessio (both of them!)14:08
rlameirowell, maybe we could do some JAM session :D14:08
scott-workyeah, jcastro and jono always seem to do something (usually some metallica) when they get together at the UDS14:08
rlameiro:D14:09
rlameironext uds will be in may I asume14:09
rlameiroit will be a little hard if it overlays on top of my students exams, but maybe it can be don14:09
* rlameiro back to writing.....14:10
scott-workoh, rlameiro, i was thinking this morning of various things and people and you were one of them!14:20
scott-workhave you happened to make any progress on ubuntustudio-controls by chance?14:20
rlameirothat is a point that needs deeps discussion :D14:20
rlameirosince most of ubuntustudio controls functionallity is fading away, we should think if it should remain or not14:21
rlameiroand if it remains in wich sense14:21
rlameirofor instance, will it become on some sort of "HUB" or just a little tool14:22
rlameiroI was thinking on something like KXStudio 14:22
rlameiroA place to config plugin folders, add ppas etc14:23
rlameirosince consolekit that much of the config isnt needed anymore14:23
rlameiroFor me the "hub" aproach seems to be the way we should do it.14:25
rlameirohave a central app that will link to the comunity, to FAQs, to how to, etc14:25
rlameiroalso it could embed a webpage on it detailing workflows etc14:26
scott-worki'm not sure that i agree that most the functionality is fading away14:27
scott-workand you are right that more discussion is needed (or at least desired)14:27
scott-workmy opinion is that just because ardour wants unlimited memlock, a user might not be able to afford that (memory wise) and would need to adjust it still14:28
scott-workadditionally, i would like to see that ubuntu studio PPA where any kernels are available be listed in studio-controls along with any backports-testing ppa14:28
scott-workyou have ideas, i have ideas, others most likely have ideas as well, hopefully we can find a compatible union between them all and implement it14:29
scott-workor them14:29
rlameiroyeap, exactly14:29
rlameirobut as the only controls functionality lasting is the memlock.14:30
scott-workand i think raw1394 as well, no?14:31
rlameiroscott-work: there are some technical decissions that need to be made for this14:31
scott-workfor memlock?14:31
rlameiroscott-work: no, with the new firewire stack14:31
rlameiroabout tech decissions are, how will it be implemented14:32
rlameiroin GTK or QT?14:32
scott-workhttp://www.ffado.org/?q=node/131614:32
scott-workdo you mean this?14:32
rlameirowill it be wrong to implement it in Qt? since we already ship qjackctl i dont see why not use QT.14:33
rlameiroor should it be GTK to be on line with other ubuntu implementations?14:33
rlameiroif it is in Qt, we can "use" some help from Falktx for example14:33
rlameiroor even RNCBC (i can try to pull him in)14:34
scott-worki'm not sure what you mean by "how will it be implemented" since i don't use firewire14:34
scott-worksince you are mentioning gtk or qt then i am assuming something with a dialouge box14:35
rlameiroscott-work: I am talking about the controls, not FW :D14:35
rlameiroi tested firewire in the 10.10 and it worked out of the box14:35
rlameiroit maybe only my card maybe... dont know14:36
rlameiroscott-work: to clarify, i was talking about the technical choices on the ubuntustudio controls development. because that will choose who can help, for instance14:38
rlameirohttp://video.ubuntu.com/live/14:40
TheMusoDid anybody find out what Sebo wanted from me?14:54
TheMusoSebboh even14:54
grantsmithhi.. does Studio 10.10 have gscanbus, for configuring the MAudio firewire solo ? And if so, is it compiled against libgtk2 ?16:30
AutoStaticDon't know16:31
AutoStaticI don't use gscanbus16:31
AutoStaticI think it's deprecated regarding FireWire soundcards16:32
AutoStaticffado-test and ffado-diag do all the magic16:32
grantsmithoh, interesting. Thanks I'll research that.16:34
AutoStaticYou're welcome. Those tools are in the ffado-tools package16:34
grantsmithso is ffado a replacement to freebob ?16:35
grantsmithnever mind. thanks google :]16:37
scott-workholstein: are you around?18:24
scott-workabogani: have you heard anything from UKT or JFo about getting the -lowlatency kernel into natty?19:09
paultagmorning scott-work :)19:49
scott-workhia paultag !19:49
paultagscott-work, how's life? :)19:49
scott-workhow are you doing?19:49
scott-workpaultag: been real, real busy lately  :/19:49
paultagscott-work, well, thanks -- I was up late last night doing *nothing*, it was the worst, but I've got my coffee, and doing just fine :)19:50
paultagscott-work, awww. Anything I can help with, or is it all meatspace stuff?19:50
scott-worknon-ubuntu studio stuff unofrtunately19:50
paultagShucks19:50
scott-worklol19:50
paultag:)19:50
scott-worki started updating the seeds for natty this weekend but haven't finished yet, but with UDS going on i don't think it's a big rush anyways19:50
paultagscott-work, nah19:51
scott-worki doubt than per.sia or the.muso will have time to review it before the weekend19:51
paultagmmm19:51
paultagscott-work, is it just the ubuntustudio-meta package?19:52
paultagscott-work, I've been working on metapackages with germinate lately ( Might try and upload a fluxbox metapackage )19:54
scott-workpaultag: no, it's far more than that19:55
paultagOK, cool. Then I'm useless :)19:55
scott-worki'll be updating video and graphic seeds, removing the audio seed and then adding audio-common, recording, and generation seeds19:56
paultagOh jeez19:56
scott-workthe idea to two fold: give the user more control over the audio applications installed and also clear out the cruft of packages installed19:56
paultagmmhum :)19:57
scott-worki've spent weeks working through things and then documenting the steps i want/need to take, and even then i've overlooked some stuff :P19:57
scott-worki can only imagine how this would have gone had i gone in blindly19:57
paultag+119:57
scott-workhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Sandbox#Seeds%20Update19:58
scott-workthat's my working notes19:58
paultagscott-work, sweet.19:58
scott-workand i will need to also update the -meta package to make a transition package for the deprecated audio seed19:59
scott-work 19:59
scott-workalthough, i did think of something19:59
scott-worki was going to talk with astraljava about a backports testing PPA19:59
scott-workthe idea would be to create a PPA that ubuntu studio devs use to make backport packages and test them20:00
paultagscott-work, should be easy enough :)20:00
scott-workthen we can alert the official backports persons know about them to get them into the official backports repositories20:00
paultagscott-work, +1, solid idea20:00
paultagscott-work, I can help with backporting, if you need more hands20:00
scott-workit's really only in the gestation phase at this moment20:01
scott-worki was hoping that astraljava would pounce on it as well :)20:01
paultagscott-work, just putting the offer on the table :)20:01
astraljavascott-work: Hi.20:01
scott-workabsolutely paultag, the help would be appreciated20:01
scott-workhi astraljava 20:02
scott-worki don't know if we want to backport applications for every release or just for the lts version20:02
scott-worki was thinking just the LTS for the time being, which is fortuitous since the last release *was* the LTS release ;)20:02
astraljavaRight, works for me.20:03
scott-workastraljava: do you think you could identify some of the applications from maverick that would be good in lucid ?20:03
astraljavascott-work: Absolutely.20:03
scott-worklater this week i can make the ppa (or someone else within ubuntustudio-dev in launchpad can)20:03
astraljavascott-work: I can do that too.20:04
scott-workand anyone who wants to help (including you paultag!) can help20:04
paultag:P20:04
scott-workastraljava:  per.sia mentioned that we should focus this ppa on testing backports...so we might call it "backports-testing" or something simiilar20:04
paultagare we thinking bug reports after the list is all set?20:04
astraljavascott-work: Gotcha.20:05
scott-workpaultag: yes, we would want to file bugs to get the backports done properly20:05
scott-workwe can do them now, or later when the backport is tested20:06
astraljavaI think the normal procedure is to file the bug once you have two testers report already.20:07
paultagagainst ubuntu studio?20:14
paultagI was just thinking logistics for people to prepare stuff for studio testing20:14
holsteinscott-work: hey20:19
holsteini was busy for a bit there20:19
scott-workpaultag:  i think it backport bugs have general been filed against ubuntu for any particular package21:39
scott-workyou might add ubuntu studio as "Also affect project" however ,but that may not be necessary21:39
scott-workespecially if we are the ones spearheading the backports21:40
scott-work 21:40
scott-workholstein: would you like to help organizing the website meeting and some other odds and ends21:40
scott-work 21:40
scott-workoh, astraljava and paultag, i would defintely be available to help with testing for backports21:40
astraljavascott-work: Noted, but I will most likely send a message to the lists anyway when a package is uploaded. Will let you know separately here, too.21:42
paultagscott-work, cheers21:42
scott-worki've read that shuttleworth is changing ubuntu desktop away from gnome to unity22:58
scott-workhttp://blogs.computerworld.com/17224/ubuntu_changes_its_desktop_from_gnome_to_unity22:58
scott-worki wonder how much truth is in this and how it will affect ubuntu studio22:58
