| cfhowlett | upgrade to 12.04 delayed to painfully slow download speeds in China but: mission accomplished. 12.04 64 bit now in full effect. While exploring graphics options I found ~ NO font manager??? | 02:34 |
|---|---|---|
| len-dt | cfhowlett, Being an audio guy... what does a font manager do? | 02:36 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: in previous versions, display the various fonts for preview purposes and/or create a catalog for design purposes | 02:45 |
| len-dt | Is there one that you like over others? | 02:46 |
| cfhowlett | whatever the default was in 10.04 was fine for me. No opinion on others I never tried them. | 02:46 |
| len-dt | There is talk of creating a publishing workflow, so that would fit in. | 02:47 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: I HIGHLY recommend it. You never know what you'll miss until it's gone. | 02:47 |
| len-dt | Though of course it would be useful in graphics as well. | 02:47 |
| cfhowlett | In re: audio, is there a podcast workflow available? | 02:48 |
| len-dt | I would hope the tools are there, but an official workflow no. | 02:48 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: is there a workflow template? I would be willing to take a crack at writing one ... | 02:49 |
| len-dt | Any of the podcatses I have listened to have just been recorded conversations, so I may be missing something. | 02:49 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: workflow = how to with the available tools, right? | 02:49 |
| len-dt | Yes. And suggest tools if they are not available. It is ok to add more. | 02:50 |
| cfhowlett | yeah, all the tools seem to be standard in US, but I haven't seen a write up. | 02:51 |
| len-dt | We are also looking at a menu item that open software center with extra software that makes sense to that menu. | 02:51 |
| len-dt | ailo, is working on docs starting next week some time... though he has lots done too. | 02:51 |
| len-dt | Lots of the web page is his. | 02:52 |
| cfhowlett | I'll keep a lookout. As it is, my local LUG has expressed interest in podcasting with Ubuntu, so I'll draft up something for them. | 02:52 |
| len-dt | Great! we could use a copy or even a link to it. | 02:53 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: wilco | 02:53 |
| len-dt | where in the menus we have now would you put a font manager? | 02:53 |
| cfhowlett | graphics | 02:53 |
| len-dt | Right. There is a package called font-manager. (gnome) I will sugest we add that or ask for something better. | 02:54 |
| cfhowlett | note: this is to be distinguished from the font CREATION tools which also seem to be gone | 02:54 |
| len-dt | I don't know if we should go there, but will ask. The one I am talking about seems to be install and preview | 02:55 |
| len-dt | I don't think these will be backported to 12.04, but a good possibility for 12.10. | 02:56 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: exactly what I had in mind. Makes a nice tool for demo'ing US to creatives | 02:56 |
| len-dt | It also doesn't seem to drag along any depends. | 02:57 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: nice. | 02:58 |
| len-dt | and it happens to end up in the right submenu. | 02:59 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: "I love it when a plan comes together." | 02:59 |
| len-dt | I seem to be the main worker bee these days, so I will ask and if no complaints over a week, just do it. | 03:00 |
| cfhowlett | len-dt: thanks. looking forward to it. Backport would be nice as I only boot LTS releases | 03:06 |
| len-dt | apt-get install font-manager | 03:07 |
| len-dt | (with sudo) | 03:07 |
| cfhowlett | right. thanks | 03:07 |
| BitPuffin | Weh, right click is very slow :( | 14:50 |
| BitPuffin | Well, desktop right click anyway, rest is good | 14:51 |
| Mish | Hello People! Is anybody online right now? If yes can I ask a question? | 15:03 |
| Mish | Um Hello! Is anyone online? | 21:30 |
| GridCube | !anyone | 21:31 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 21:31 |
| Mish | Haha I was expecting something like that. Anyways, on to my question. I run Ubuntu Studio and I want to remove a specific program, MyPaint. However if I try to do that (either via the software centre or synaptics) I am told that I need to remove this package as well, "ubuntustudio-graphics". I want to know whether doing this will remove all graphics packages too like inkscape and blender. | 21:35 |
| GridCube | if im not mistaken, that i might, ubuntustudio-graphics might be just a metapackage, so deleting it wont do any harm | 21:36 |
| Unit193 | Nope, it's fine to remove. | 21:36 |
| Mish | Thank You (Please forgive me for any inconvenience. Next time I'll be well versed with IRC etiquette) | 21:38 |
| GridCube | ;) no problem | 21:38 |
