[16:23] <detrate> what makes speakers die for a month then come back to life?
[16:23] <detrate> the fuse was fine but they were not getting power
[16:23] <detrate> I let them sit for a month and they were able to push hard for a good 4 hours before I let them relax again
[16:23] <detrate> but they straight up, refused to turn on for a month
[21:10]  * ckontros waves
[21:10] <ScottL> hi ckontros 
[21:11]  * ScottL just got back from my dad's and is unloading the family's bags
[21:11] <ckontros> Fun. :P How's the project going?
[21:17] <ScottL> ckontros, it's messy right now, natty is NOT going smoothly
[21:17] <ScottL> it should come together before release but i was hoping to be at a better place already
[21:18] <ScottL> there's still plans to implement for natty and plans for later releases are being discussed
[21:18] <ckontros> I read the list today. We're always cursed by the kernel. :)
[21:18] <ScottL> i noticed that i didn't get an email about all the xorg build fails so hopefully i can get a natty install so i can fix the default xsession problem
[21:19] <ScottL> ckontros, aya, i really haven't delved too much into it since other problems are happening _and_ i don't have a firewire interface
[21:20] <ScottL> also the latest (up to two days ago) ubuntu studio discs kept dropping to "sigterm" and restarting during software installation
[21:20] <ckontros> Just keep Alessio's spirits up. Studio is almost sunk without him.
[21:20] <ckontros> What was the issue?
[21:23] <ScottL> after i get the xsession issue resolved i was going to get into the sigterm/installation problem
[21:23] <ckontros> Ahh... How has it been dealing w/the Unity changes?
[21:23] <ScottL> check to see if other alternate installs are having the same problem on launchpad bugs, irc, etc
[21:24] <ScottL> ckontros, not too bad except unity will not work currently in ubuntu studio because we haven't add the required packages
[21:24] <ScottL> at least that was the last that i had seen
[21:25] <ScottL> i played with a vanilla natty install with unity enabled and installed audio apps to see how it looked/behaved
[21:25] <ScottL> didn't like it, not at all
[21:25] <ckontros> Yeah. I would think it wouldnt fit Studio.
[21:26] <ckontros> Any other nice developments? Or other changes?
[21:27] <ScottL> well, once we get unity/gnome-session squared as default xsession
[21:27] <ScottL> we still need to update the menu for new applications, update some art, and update the plymouth theme based on what you had done already
[21:27] <ScottL> i feel like i'm almost a month behind were i wanted to be though
[21:28] <ScottL> of course we had also changed the tasksel options to split the audio applications
[21:28] <ckontros> Ok. So nothing earth-shaking.
[21:28] <ScottL> i hadn't really heard any feedback on it actually, surprised me really
[21:28] <ScottL> ckontros, no, not really
[21:28] <ScottL> ckontros, OH, the plan was for the UKT to provide instructions to get other kernels into the repos
[21:28] <ScottL> our goal was to get the -lowlatency kernel into the repos for natty
[21:29] <ckontros> Its not already?
[21:29] <ScottL> i'm still questioning if that is going to happen becuae the UKT guy hasn't done it
[21:29] <ScottL> ckontros, no, after miami the agreement was that the UKT would create and provide the instructions for getting a kernel in and we would need to maintain it
[21:29] <ckontros> Go to IRC kernel meetings. Push where/however you can.
[21:30] <ckontros> You went right?
[21:30] <ckontros> (to miami)
[21:30] <ScottL> persia had said i was to poke him if it the instructions weren't provided in a certain time and he was going to poke someone higher up in the UKT i believe
[21:31] <ScottL> but persia has been not answering lately
[21:31] <ScottL> ckontros, i haven't been to any kernel meeting but i will see about doing so to push this
[21:31] <ckontros> Then you do what you have to. ;)
[21:31] <ScottL> and no, i didn't make it to maimi, but i am scheduled for the next one
[21:32] <ckontros> Ahh... Which is where?
[21:32] <ScottL> i haven't heard any rumours about it yet
[21:32] <ScottL> i am presuming it will be somewhere in europe
[21:33] <ScottL> my wife even wants to go if it's in europe so i certainly have the home approval :P
[21:33] <ckontros> Hehe.
[21:34] <ScottL> we've also gotten some more users involved with development
[21:35] <ScottL> holstein and ailo really have been kicking it
[21:35] <ScottL> and there are several other people who have been involved with the website update
[21:35] <ckontros> killer
[21:35] <ScottL> so, it's progress
[21:36] <ckontros> Sure. How's Luke?
[21:36] <ScottL> busy with assessability on unity and not directly involved much
[21:36] <ckontros> (TheMuso^^^):)
[21:37] <ckontros> Gotcha
[21:37] <ScottL> also we've had some brainstorming on how to improve user experience, small things but helpful i think
[21:38] <ckontros> Awesome. Well, Im gonna go back to the kids. Keep the chin up. Later sir.
[21:38] <ScottL> thank you sir :)
[21:38] <ckontros> :)
