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