ailoBah, the first slide on the homepage is not right on all resolutions00:23
len-dtailo, just looking at it again seeing as you mentioned it... the home page slide for audio looks like it is saying US is made for amature work not professional.00:31
len-dt"Need to record your band? Or do you want to record, mix, and master your own song?"00:32
len-dtGetting paid to record other people's songs/bands is professional.00:33
len-dtPublishing at least mentions a "press" photography on the other hand is only good enough for "publish them to social web sites".00:37
len-dtI hadn't looked at things with such a picky eye before :)00:38
ailolen-dt: The whole site could go through a check. There were some spelling errors until quite late. 00:38
ailoI did as little as possible to already existing text thinking that people might have opinions before release00:38
ailoAlso, it's hard to have an objective picture while you're in the process of editing00:39
len-dtailo, the graphics looked so nice... and it was soooo much better than what we had.00:39
len-dtI don't think many of us were that objective00:40
* len-dt knows he wasn't00:40
len-dtWhat the video slide says is nice, basically says it can do anything.00:41
ailoThe last line of text in the first slide is on top of the slide buttons on one of my screens00:42
len-dtGraphics could use a bit of thought though.00:42
len-dtailo, ya I see that00:42
len-dtFrom adding the new release line00:43
ailoYeah, wasn't like that on the screen I did it on00:43
ailoWill have a look tomorrow, on the bus00:43
ailoLeaving to Malmö tomorrow, where my uncle lives. It's just opposite of Copenhagen, where UDS is00:43
len-dtUbuntu Studio is not really an operating system, but a distribution00:44
ailoIsn't it both?00:44
len-dtThat will give some time... if it was me... my battery wouldn't last that long00:44
ailoThe bus has internet, but perhaps not power outletsd00:44
len-dtbassed on Linux the OS I think.00:44
ailoI'm bringing a netbook too00:44
len-dtThe problem being that many people get the idea of an OS but from windows land not a distro.00:45
len-dtThose from linux land know the difference I think.00:46
ailoThe sum, kernel + system tools is an operative system. We have our own kernel, and some minor changes to Ubuntu specs. I'd say it's a Ubuntu Studio operative system00:46
len-dtIf it doesn't hit others as it does me then I am probably wrong.00:47
ailoIt's not as common to call it OS, when it's Linux I guess00:47
ailoI didn't write that anyhow00:48
ailoI'm going to bed. Early rise tomorrow, even if we get one hour extra this night00:49
ailosee you tomorrow00:49
len-dtI'm not pointing fingers (at people) just anything that might be taken to mean something it doesn't.00:49
len-dtVery good. Good night.00:49
ailoNightmare trying to use a laptop on a bus07:53
ailoJust on my way to my uncle's, who lives just on the opposite side of Copenhagen across a few km of sea07:56
knome:)07:56
contrapunctusailo, that's why they made tablets, I betcha ;)08:29
contrapunctusIncidentally, is there any Linux distro that can run on ARM? Had heard of Debian and Bodhi, but sounds like a tricky procedure to install. =\08:30
ailocontrapunctus: I could probably use one now, but now the uds site has problems, so I might as well catch some sleep, or eat some donuts08:31
ailocontrapunctus: I've never tried installing08:31
ailoDebian, correcrt08:31
ailoIsn't Ubuntu going into that too?08:31
ailocontrapunctus: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm08:32
ailoNot exactly well supported08:33
ailoI bought a router that you can install linux on. That's arm08:35
contrapunctusAwesome, ailo. I didn't realize the install instructions were out as well! W00t...but that's only for certain tablets -_-'08:52
contrapunctusI was thinking more like 'U-install-on-any-Android-device-buntu' :)08:52
ailocontrapunctus: Think you might need to tinker with a Debian install for other devices. I know a lot of people are doing it. Maybe there are some examples on youtube and such?08:59
contrapunctusAye, ailo. There do seem to be some of those floating around on YouTube.09:00
astraljavacontrapunctus: emdebian has worked towards that goal for quite some while.09:01
astraljavaNot sure what's the current status, though.09:01
* astraljava kinda lost interest in embedded half a year ago.09:01
contrapunctusWhy?09:04
contrapunctuso.o09:04
contrapunctus(and how does one do those verb thingies in IRC, again?)09:05
ailoDuring my stay in Copenhagen I will travel half the distance as I am doing one way now, for a price of X8 (unless I walk a lot, in which case it's about X4)09:05
ailoI did bring running shoes :P09:06
astraljavaailo: That's messed up. How so?09:34
smartboyhw!?09:34
smartboyhwGood everyone is back09:41
smartboyhwastraljava, what is messed up?09:41
astraljavaThat is costs so much more when traveling.09:45
smartboyhwah09:45
ailoastraljava: local traffic is a bitch13:31
ailoBut it's cheaper than staying at a hotel next to bella center :)13:33
smartboyhwailo, wait you want to remove the text in the plymouth theme right? Why?13:34
ailosmartboyhw: Len suggested that. Would remove one maintenance detail.13:35
smartboyhwailo, well that is a super-east maintenance. If you guys don't wanna do it I can do it myself.13:36
smartboyhw*super-easy13:36
smartboyhwOK changed it and proposed code merge ailo 13:58
smartboyhwhi micahg 14:31
micahghi smartboyhw14:34
len-dtsmartboyhw, I want to change the text from ubuntu studio 12.10 to just ubuntu studio14:38
smartboyhwlen-dt, wait a minute14:38
smartboyhwUbuntu also has a non-versioned theme for graphical ones14:39
smartboyhwBut they say "Ubuntu 12.10" when it comes to the text theme14:39
smartboyhwlen-dt, I don't think it is good to remove it. How could people tell which release are they installing?14:39
micahgsmartboyhw: why should the text theme be different than the graphical one?14:40
smartboyhwmicahg, what?14:41
micahgif the graphical one is unversioned, why should the text one be versioneD?14:41
smartboyhwmicahg, don't ask me, ask the ubuntu artwork team:P14:41
len-dtsmartboyhw, we are talking ubuntu studio. our graphic one has no version and very very few people see the text one.14:43
smartboyhwlen-dt, wait is it a very difficult one to maintain?14:43
len-dtjust very easy to forget.14:43
len-dtI was the only one who saw it because of my old video card14:44
smartboyhwlen-dt, I saw it always when I do testing on Virtualbox14:44
len-dtas of 12.10 the video driver seems to work so I may not see it.14:44
len-dtIt is easy to change. I was the one who made the ubuntustudio one.14:45
smartboyhwso?14:47
len-dtI won't always be around to remember to change it why leave something that must be changed every release?14:48
len-dtor to put it another way, if it is soooo important then why not change the grphic version every time too?14:49
micahglen-dt: which package is that in?14:49
smartboyhwmicahg, ubuntustudio-look14:49
smartboyhwI proposed code merge for 13.04 (for now)14:50
micahglen-dt: we could just make it a dynamic file where the version is added automatically when it's built14:50
smartboyhwmicahg, good:D14:50
len-dtOk, would we do that for the graphic version too?14:50
smartboyhwlen-dt, no14:51
len-dtthen why for the text version?14:51
smartboyhwlen-dt, really srsly: If Vanilla Ubuntu can include it why can we not?14:52
len-dtmicahg, I can not see any reason to make the text version "versioned" and not the graphic version.14:52
len-dtI think the place to add the version to would be lightdm14:54
len-dtIt could be added once and would be there for everyone14:54
len-dtsmartboyhw, if vanilla has it in the text version and not the graphic one then that is also wrong14:55
len-dtI would call that a bug14:55
smartboyhwlen-dt, ooh...............14:55
len-dtGoing farther down that path... the time the system stays on plymouth has gotten so short (execpt when scanning disks and from the live ISO) that even on my old machine plymouth runs less than a second.14:59
micahglen-dt: I agree with you :)14:59
len-dtSome people say they just see a flash of it before lightdm shows up.14:59
smartboyhwOK I give up. 15:00
smartboyhwlen-dt, you win:P15:01
len-dtI win? My hope is to give things that are winners for the end user first, and then the US dev team... even better if it helps both.15:03
smartboyhwOK then15:06
smartboyhwlen-dt, code it and then micahg will package it. (Am I wrong?)15:06
len-dtYa, I was waiting till the new ISO started rolling.15:07
smartboyhwlen-dt, no need I thkin15:07
len-dtI want to see the core builds before I start messing with it. I'm just cautious I guess.15:08
smartboyhwlen-dt, then do you want to see "Ubuntu Studio 12.10" on a 13.04 ISO?:P15:09
len-dtThere are two or three things (buglets) I need to do that way. I may start on them before the ISOs roll though15:09
smartboyhwlen-dt, OK. BTW len-dt micahg do you support having Ubuntu Studio on Wubi? Just asking15:10
* micahg doesn't do Wubi, so no opinion15:11
* smartboyhw supports it15:11
* len-dt has no way of testing it15:11
smartboyhwWell that is just asking since ailo put it in the blueprints15:11
len-dtwhat exactly does "wubi" do?15:12
micahgallows you to install Ubuntu inside a windows installation15:12
len-dtI understand the FS resides inside an NT partition?15:13
smartboyhwlen-dt, yes15:14
* smartboyhw has tried to use that before15:14
smartboyhwThat thought was first raised when Bug 1070682 was reported15:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1070682 in Wubi "wubi and ubuntu studio" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/107068215:14
len-dtUS is performance sensitive... at least with the audio stuff15:14
smartboyhwlen-dt, news btw, mrpouit has uploaded a patch for the duplicate partitions15:17
len-dtAside from the point of it working at all installwise, I am wondering what problems we might have with how things run.15:17
len-dtgood, if fix released or just commited?15:18
smartboyhwlen-dt, only proposed patch. Will fix commit and release a few days later15:19

smartboyhwhere15:19
smartboyhwlen-dt, btw are you getting dizzy with our topic-r-flavor-ubuntustudio's dependency tree?15:20
len-dtIt is hard to read, but I think splitting it up is good15:22
len-dtI wish the main page just showed the first level not all of them15:23
smartboyhwlen-dt, me also15:23
len-dtI do think splitting things into smaller portions will allow us to finish more things. Last cycle a lot of things were partly done15:24
smartboyhwWhy did I part the channel?15:24
len-dt I do think splitting things into smaller portions will allow us to finish more things. Last cycle a lot of things were partly done15:24
len-dtIDK15:25
smartboyhwlen-dt, thought of one thing...We can actually add back bookmarks of our help pages and so to Firefox...15:25
len-dtHow?15:25
len-dtI spent rather a lot of time on that last cycle with no results.15:26
smartboyhwlen-dt, what? You are exactly the opposite I think15:26
smartboyhwlen-dt, you got most workitems done, I, ailo and scott-work failed at that15:26
len-dtPutting bookmarks in firefox is not easy. I could get it done, but not so that the next upgrade of firefox didn't reset it to stock15:27
len-dtSo it would work so long as the user used FF before any upgrade... which may not happen if there happened to be a FF upgrade detected at install time.15:28
len-dtA new user added to an install even a month later would not see our bookmarks for sure.15:29
smartboyhwlen-dt, look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Oneiric/LocalizedCDImageTools15:30
len-dtsmartboyhw, there may be a way of doing that if we moved all of ubuntu-setting into ubuntustudio-default-settings15:30
smartboyhwlen-dt, that link may be the solution for us (albeit only a little bit)15:31
smartboyhwThat might be what we want for the new ubuntustudio-default-settings15:32
len-dtI will look. There is a package for generating a default-settings package for a ISO that I tried. It does not work.15:33
micahgthe Firefox bookmarks aren't in the ubuntu-settings package15:35
smartboyhwlen-dt, micahg actually look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Distribution_INI_File will be better15:35
smartboyhwmicahg, where is it?15:35
len-dtsmartboyhw, that doesn't work15:35
smartboyhwlen-dt, !15:35
len-dtI tried it.15:36
micahgeither in ubufox or firefox15:36
len-dtThe ubuntuized version makes that not work.15:36
smartboyhwlen-dt, oh ok how about the ini file?15:36
len-dtI tried it.15:36
smartboyhwhmm15:36
len-dtI spent a lot of time on it.15:36
len-dtIn the end that was why I added all the bookmarks to the menu.15:38
smartboyhwlen-dt, :D15:38
len-dtSame with xchat.15:38
smartboyhwHmm sounds like a difficult one to do15:39
smartboyhwmicahg, aren't you a specialist on browsers?15:42
micahgsmartboyhw: yes?15:43
smartboyhwmicahg, you should be able to add the bookmarks then:P15:43
micahgwell, idk where they're stored at the moment, yes I could figure it out if I had time15:44
smartboyhwmicahg, oh ok15:44
len-dtmicahg, smartboyhw is it really worth the time involved?15:45
smartboyhwlen-dt, dunno. Though it is mentioned before I think15:45
len-dtIt was in last cycles BP15:46
len-dtWe postponed it with the idea it did not have to be resurected this cycle :)15:46
smartboyhwlen-dt, :)15:47
smartboyhwAlbeit we can try to15:47
len-dtYou can assign yourself to it and do that. Personally, I will spend my time elsewhere.15:48
len-dtI will have less time this cycle than last.15:48
len-dtI would start by looking in the ubuntu-branding stuff which is called something else these days and think about replacing that with a US version.15:49
len-dttry ubufox  maybe15:52
len-dtIf we make a stufox though that will mean maintaining it every time ubufox gets changed15:53
len-dtsmartboyhw, ^^15:54
smartboyhwlen-dt, :D16:02
micahgsmartboyhw: it's a big maintenance burden16:03
smartboyhwmicahg, yes I agre16:03
smartboyhw*agree16:03
len-dtmicahg, I have worked in tech support and heard "why did they do it that way?" many times. I found if I started thinking how I would do it, I often ended up the way the machine was... Same apllies here a lot.16:17
ailoThere's also the answer: just because16:31
ailoknome: Are you all settled in Copenhagen and ready for tomorrow?17:51
ailoI could probably have prepared a lot more (haven't exactly been asking around a lot). Thinking things will become apparent tomorrow17:52
ailolen-dt: I removed a line in the first slide at the homepage. My thought is, if no one will miss it, it was an ok edit.17:56
ailoThe great thing about writing code independently, when there are no commercial interests, is that you'll most likely only have two reasons why you did something. 17:58
ailoEither because you saw a solution to a problem, or just because17:58
knomeailo, yeah, i pretty much am18:43
len-dtailo, the first slide looks fine.20:12
len-dtI can't even remember what the missing line was :)20:13
len-dtHey, there is a new kernel in proposed for 12.10. Are we supposed to test that before it gets released?21:48
len-dtIf so, where do we mark it as tested?21:52
len-dtailo, I only ask because it is lowlatency. If we don't test who will?22:14
