acmeinc1i noticed a thread on the forum about the rt kernel for quantal.  how could i load this on the lts?01:14
astraljavaacmeinc1: Have a look at here: https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-team/+archive/kernel01:29
astraljavaSince we're on -devel, I trust I don't have to keep my mandatory speech about non-existing support etc. :)01:30
falktx_astraljava: please don't give me credit for those kernels, they are from abogani01:55
falktx_I just copied them to be safe01:55
falktx_sometimes he deletes them01:55
contrapunctuszequence - Mate, I thought it over, and I'm afraid I will not be able to do it. Too busy struggling as a musician...I apologize.07:24
smartboyhwOh no07:34
zequenceToo bad08:05
smartboyhwzequence, welcome back from UDS:D08:07
zequencesmartboyhw, Thanks. I'm not home yet though. Will be later today08:08
smartboyhwzequence, good:D08:10
zequencecontrapunctus, I understand. I'm pretty low on time myself - I think everyone are. Don't think you need to make a decision either for or against09:49
zequenceIt's not such a deadly serious business being a Ubuntu Studio developer09:50
zequenceAnd we don't make demands on anyone, cause we know it's tough being able to commit09:50
zequencecontrapunctus, If you change your mind, or just keep hanging around here, you might find something you'd like to do in the future. Don't be a stranger in any case09:51
smartboyhwHi ScottL 13:34
smartboyhwzequence, I have a mind: It is difficult for us to use the mailiing list to subscribe to the bugs, but then why can't we just use the team to subscribe to the bugs? We only have mainly 4 packages: -meta, -default-settings, -look, -icon-theme (some I do not know maybe). It should be easy to subscribe to their bug mails15:28
zequencesmartboyhw, Yes, we should use the team to subscribe to bugs. Right now, the dev team is automatically subscribed15:30
smartboyhwzequence, then the bug team should too15:30
zequencesmartboyhw, Yes. That is the plan15:31
smartboyhwzequence, yeah15:31
len-dtzequence, smartboyhw that is because we own the packages.15:31
smartboyhwzequence, then just abolish the mailing list no use at all15:31
smartboyhwlen-dt, yes we know;D15:31
zequenceWoa, I wrote some c code. That doesn't happen often18:07
contrapunctuslmfao, zequence. You're being assimilated into the dev team. Four months later you'll become a programmer xD18:08
zequencecontrapunctus, I do quite a lot of developing, but not in C/C++18:09
zequenceMostly script.. bash/python and puredata18:09
zequenceYou can do quite a lot with python18:09
contrapunctus@_@18:09
contrapunctusI learned a little C++...in school. Forgot everything now -_-'18:10
zequenceYea, I don't remember much by heart. I'm always looking at some reference18:10
contrapunctusDunno about other languages but PureData and C++ really make you think in a particular way.18:10
zequenceI'm not very familiar with C++, which seems like a huge language, but in some respect, all the languages are quite simple. The problem is in how to use the18:12
zequenceAnd most of them are very similar too18:12
knomehey zequence :) you back home?18:12
zequenceknome, Not yet. Sitting in the bus. Another 20 min or so18:12
zequenceTo reach the city, that is18:12
knomeokay, but near enough18:13
zequenceknome, Did you have a nice Friday?18:13
knomezequence, yup, we went to see the little mermaid and visited the design museum. apart from those, mostly shopping, eating and drinking18:14
zequenceknome, hehe, I usually only enjoy the eating and the drinking myself18:14
knomewell, we had to buy some gifts/souvenirs for SO's18:18
knomei didn't find any in the city though, so i resorted to the airport selection18:18
contrapunctusknome, SO's?18:19
knomecontrapunctus, special others, for me my wife and for her, fiancee18:20
contrapunctusOh. Lol. :)18:20
knomeher being elizabeth, who i did the tourist stuff with18:20
zequenceWell, nearly there. Time to log off again18:21
knomesee you18:21
contrapunctusCiao zequence.18:25
* astraljava thinks the term is 'significant other'.20:19
* knome doesn't think it matters as long as he brings gifts to her20:21
knomeand hey astraljava 20:21
* contrapunctus thinks that was just what I was thinking when knome mentioned it, astraljava20:23
astraljavaHeh, yeah.20:42
astraljavaAnd was she approving?20:42
knomeyeah.20:42
zequenceAnyone done a Windows system recovery from the recovery partition, but the second partition was not set up with the ntfs file system?20:44
zequenceI hate this..20:44
* contrapunctus hasn't used Windows since about a few years now.20:44
zequencecontrapunctus: Well, you aren't alone in that20:44
contrapunctusalthough /me still has Win7 installed, gathering dust.20:44
contrapunctusDarn.20:44
contrapunctusFail.20:45
len-dtI have many windows in my house, but the format was set when the house was built...20:45
astraljavaSoo... not NTFS?20:45
zequenceThe age of windows is over. we now use doors20:45
len-dtI have some of those too.20:46
zequenceastraljava: I installed Linux on the C:\ partition. Now, I'd like to revert it back to Windows20:46
astraljavaNow you're just showing off.20:46
astraljavazequence: I have no idea, but maybe you can move the HDD to another box, and have the windows disk utility re-format that partition?20:47
zequenceI guess I just need to learn how to do partitioning and formatting with Windows commands20:47
zequenceI could use an install CD too, but arghh..20:48
ScottLzequence: i abosultely want to work with ttoine and others to setup a framework where everyone can participate20:48
astraljavaI feel your pain, bro.20:48
ScottLobviously i don't think having _everyone_ involved in PR is a good thing, however ;)20:48
ScottLbut a small group that is active is certainly desirable20:49
astraljavaYep, like me, for instance. :)20:49
zequenceScottL: Hehe. Well, I'm thinking not everyone will be in the end. And I know you are up for it. I just want to see some action from the other guys too20:49
ScottLi really would also like to see about seeing what plugins are available and also _can_ be installed to push our news to twitter/facebook/ etc20:49
zequenceRight20:49
ScottLzequence: agreed. it will be interesting to see who is still pushing news in 6 months ;P20:50
len-dtOr two.20:50
ScottLlen-dt: hehe20:50
ScottLafk again with the family, i'll be doing stuff later tonight though20:51
len-dtLast cycle was not overflowing with people :)20:51
zequenceYea, let's try to change that for this cycle20:51
len-dtAs long as some things get done at some part of the cycle that is ok too.20:52
len-dtI think The better our product the more interest there is.20:52
contrapunctusHey fols20:53
contrapunctus*folks20:53
zequenceWe just need to communicate better, I think. And reach out to the right communities20:53
contrapunctusDo your families use Linux as well? O_o20:53
zequenceThere's room for a lot of improvement in many areas20:53
len-dtAlso it seems there are getting to be less audio distros being maintained.20:53
len-dtzequence, Always, always.20:53
zequenceWould be nice to get some graphics/video people in20:54
len-dtYa, I think getting US to the point where those people feel it is worth installing on their production machine is the first step.20:55
zequenceAh, yeah. We have jta, and Scottl is also into that. But, we could use some more people giving feedback and ideas20:55
* len-dt is not a video/movie person.20:55
len-dtI'd rather read a book20:55
zequencelen-dt: During UDS I realized that all the flavors have more or less the same problem what dev docs are concerned. And, getting more people involved20:56
len-dtSome of the modern animation is really good though20:56
zequenceMy suggestion was to create a universal dev doc for the Ubuntu community. I'll be trying to make that happen now20:56
len-dtdocs are the biggest problem in Linux every where that I can tell.20:57
zequenceThe other step is to get active with the PR20:57
zequencelen-dt: Also, I talked with David Henningson about the jackd bug20:57
len-dtPR :P20:57
zequencelen-dt: He was working on it about half a year ago. But, only came a bit closer to the solution20:58
len-dtI see the need for PR but what attracts me is not interesting to most of the world.20:58
zequencelen-dt: He told me, that if we do find serious bugs, he's happy to help try to fix them20:58
zequencelen-dt: We need to tell people what we want20:58
zequenceIn clear terms too20:59
len-dtzequence, what is happening on the jackd level? is this not generally a problem with other distros then?20:59
zequencelen-dt: level?20:59
len-dtya are the jackd devs seeing this problem? or is it a deb/ubuntu problem?20:59
contrapunctuslen-dt - 'docs are the biggest problem in Linux every where that I can tell.' why?20:59
len-dtIt is hard work writing docs, Often a lot of programers are not good documenters.21:00
zequencelen-dt: I guess no one is really wanting to fix it, or not aware of it. That's something we could have done better before. Putting some light on it, and doing bug reports upstream21:00
zequencecontrapunctus: There's a lot of docs that are outdated too. And not only that - you often have to read between the lines to figure things out21:01
len-dtzequence, the kxstudio version is better. It still crashes some times... but I would say 10x less.21:02
zequencelen-dt: I'm a little clueless to why that would be so. As, I don't think the source is any different21:02
zequenceHaven't checked when it was last updated, but the package in 12.10 is pretty up to date21:03
len-dtI haven't played that much with 12.10 jackd. on my 12.04 I had the kx version though and then had a jack_control stop as a prestop for qjackctl.21:04
len-dtI should try the same trick for 12.1021:04
zequenceI'll be looking into that in the coming week21:05
len-dtI think it is better than a killall -9...21:05
zequenceI never realized David H was from Sweden, btw21:05
zequenceIt's weird when you meet people in person too. Not what you expected at all21:05
len-dttext is a funny thing21:06
zequencelen-dt: If UDS ever comes your way, or you get a chance to be sponsored to go, I highly recommend it21:06
len-dtIs it always the same time of year?21:07
zequencelen-dt: I guess twice a year, just after release time21:07
zequenceWas never interested before, but since it was so close to home this time I took the chance21:08
len-dtIt may be a few years before I can... after 2015 I expect to travel a bit more.21:08
astraljavaYeah, usually every other time is in American soil.21:08
contrapunctusI feel like doing docs...but there's no time, I'm in the 'Linux Audio - create awesome music on Linux and wow people over' department. -_-'21:08
contrapunctusWell, night folks, it's 2:40 pm here.21:09
* len-dt is retiring at the end of 2015 he may do more work after :)21:09
zequencecontrapunctus: Any links to some of that wowness?21:09
astraljava2:40 pm, and he calls it a night?21:09
zequencelen-dt: At the age of 65?21:09
len-dt5521:09
len-dtAt most I would go till 6021:10
contrapunctuswww.contrapunctus.tumblr.com ...I'm just a student though. Music made with qtractor and qsampler, scores with MuseScore.21:10
zequenceheh, we're probably going to raise retirement age from 65 to higher around here :(21:10
contrapunctusOnly one track there atm.21:10
contrapunctusciao folks.21:10
len-dtThe company I work for has a "bridge" from 55 to 65 (or whenever the gov. pention cuts in).21:11
zequencecontrapunctus: Cool stuff :)21:11
contrapunctusastraljava : erratic sleeping (as well as the resulting erratic eating times) is an invitation for heart failure -.-'21:11
contrapunctusThanks zequence, more to come soon.21:11
