len_1304shai_halud, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/03/03/%23ubuntustudio-devel.html01:59
len_1304Its all logged02:00
shai_haludgot it bookmarked. thanks02:01
shai_haludwill be in raring in a few minutes02:02
shai_haludhowever,,, download is "hung" at 99%02:03
shai_haludgoing to try writing it anyway02:05
len_1304If it is not complete use zsync to correct it.02:08
len_1304better than redownloading the whole thing.02:08
shai_haludchecksum looks good02:15
shai_haludoff i go02:15
shai_haludbbs02:15
shai_haludmight boot into live and install frmo there02:15
shai_haludthat didn't go well at all02:35
Len-nbHow so?02:38
shai_haludLen-nb, : the live session loaded, had no functionality other then the clock ticked. So I attempted install, I went to bathroom while partitioner formatted.. When I got back, the macciniss wallpaper was up, and the busy icon, nothing else. So i opened a tty and ran top,  .. and crap, i forget the error now. but it said something like no such something02:38
shai_haludi can try again and write it down02:39
Len-nbThe live session should be fully functional02:39
shai_haludit looked fine, just had no interactin02:40
shai_haludinteraction02:40
shai_haludif md5 was good should i bother seeing if zsync will make a difference02:41
shai_halud?02:41
Len-nbI am pretty sure, zsync goes by md5, but it does so in smaller chunks02:42
shai_haludi will try live again and see if keyboard has any interaction02:42
shai_haludbbs02:42
shai_haludLen-nb,  ok, same thing this time, but i got error in live when i tried to run top in tty. error was "squashfs error failed to read block c9ebo97/ unable to read fragment cache entry bash: usr/bin... I/O error02:58
shai_haludtthe desktop flahed in and out when i tried clicking and right click on desktop caused flash every time, like dumping and reloading desktop02:59
Len-nbTry throwing zsync at your image02:59
shai_haludk03:00
Len-nbthat says that it tried to access part of the ISO that wasn't there03:00
Len-nbThe partition on the iso is a squashfs format03:00
shai_haludright03:10
shai_haludi'm aware of that, and it leads me to believe that unetbootin didn't burn correctly03:10
shai_haluder write03:10
shai_haludzsync reading seed file now03:13
shai_haludhad a few hiccups. maybe was incomplete03:13
shai_haludok target 100% complete. will try to write image again, from terminal this time03:15
shai_haludthere is a 1.9MB PART file i the dir now. is this what was downloaded/missing?03:19
shai_haludboth old and new are exact same size03:21
shai_haludrewriting anyway03:22
shai_haludok write complete. rebooting03:24
shai_haludbbs03:24
Len-nbok. I'm back04:44
Len-nbshai_halud, I'm not sure where to go with this.04:45
Len-nbMint is a derivative of ubuntu or debian?04:46
Len-nbis the iso to usb stick the same as we use?04:47
shai_haludyes04:49
shai_haludi have installed with it about 15 timesw04:49
shai_haludseveral windows, several linux installs04:49
shai_haludnever had issue04:50
shai_haludi tested disc from unetbootin/live and no errors were reported04:50
Len-nbstrange. As I say I can't test the same iso, as I have 32 bit machines04:51
shai_haludi don't know if it is simply fs error on the part of unetbootin or the flash drive, but i have no reason, based on the track record, to expect errors from it04:52
Len-nbMine is a week old and worked fine, so I will download a new one.04:52
shai_haludshould i log the errors in launchpad?04:53
shai_haludand my hardware profile?04:53
shai_haludi'm done fooling with it tonight, but i will get to it tomorrow04:53
Len-nbYou can try that. I will ask one of the others to download and at least make sure the live session runs04:54
Len-nb(with 64 bit)04:54
shai_haludone sec and i will give you the link i used04:54
shai_haludhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current/raring-dvd-i386.iso04:55
shai_haluder04:55
shai_halud wait04:55
shai_haludhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/current/raring-dvd-amd64.iso04:56
shai_haludlet me double check and make sure that's the one i used04:56
Len-nbThats the right place.04:56
Len-nbI use the i386 one04:57
shai_haludyes. that's the one ( i meant to make sure i got amd64)04:57
shai_haludi just hope i can correct whatever is wrong with wifi in my ubuntu studio 12.1004:58
Len-nbThat sounds odd.04:58
shai_haludat least i know the wifi card isn't borked. something changed in the configuration though, in U.S.04:58
shai_haludyes it does 04:59
Len-nbCan it see your AP04:59
shai_haludno04:59
shai_haludnone appear04:59
shai_haludtypically that install is online as soon as de loads05:00
Len-nbis enable wi-fi checked?05:00
shai_haludi have had no complaints05:00
shai_haludyes05:00
shai_haludsomething to do with the mac address05:00
shai_haludit's different in Mint05:01
shai_haludgoing to make a note of the configuration from here and try to set US the same way05:01
shai_haludwell, i'm off for the night. will make log in launchpad tomorrow05:03
shai_haludcheers05:03
smartboyhwzequence_, nice page on ubuntustudio.org + posts06:17
Mick_hi all07:04
smartboyhwhello Mick_ 07:04
Mick_Hi again :)07:05
smartboyhwLOL07:05
zequence_smartboyhw: Thanks09:21
zequence_Mick_: Hi. I prepared a page yesterday, which basically says what we went through yesterday https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/JoinTheTeam09:22
Mick_oh thanks, yes i figured that I would hang around and get an idea of things09:23
smartboyhwMick_, :)09:24
smartboyhwzequence_, so what are we going to do at UDS?09:24
smartboyhwUDS-1303 I mean09:24
smartboyhwzequence_, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/xubuntu-desktop/+spec/contingencies is interesting09:26
zequence_smartboyhw: Any ideas? I can't think of anything right now09:29
zequence_At least we should keep track of the rolling release discussion09:29
=== zequence_ is now known as zequence
smartboyhwzequence_, of course09:29
smartboyhwzequence, one thing I think of is that I rather suggest having at least one to two physical UDS per LTS cycle09:29
zequenceA physical UDS for an LTS does make sense, yes09:30
Mick_the dependecy tree in the roadmap is hard to read, bit small09:32
zequenceMick_: Yes. I've put together an overview in the wiki09:32
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PermanentBlueprintOverview09:33
Mick_oh ok, maybe a note in there then?09:33
zequenceAh, right. I haven't added the link to the root. will do09:34
smartboyhw:)09:34
smartboyhwzequence, I really hope that shai_lalud can come todahy09:34
smartboyhws/todahy/today/09:34
kubotusmartboyhw meant: "zequence, I really hope that shai_lalud can come today"09:34
* smartboyhw needs to go through with him about the QA processes09:34
zequencesmartboyhw: Seems like we'll be seeing more of him09:37
smartboyhwzequence, :)09:37
smartboyhwzequence, now with rolling release comes a problem: How do we fix the upgrades?09:38
smartboyhwDon't forget our metas....09:39
smartboyhwBug 106640109:39
ubottubug 1066401 in ubuntustudio-meta (Ubuntu) "distribution upgrade to 12.10 omits two metas" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106640109:39
smartboyhwOne thing too: one of the workitems of scott-work is to ask dick macinnis to lead art crowdsourcing which will be difficult since he would rather want to work on Dream Studio....09:41
smartboyhwAnd finally: We can easily clean up "add create-resources to seeds" item....09:43
zequencesmartboyhw: It's better Scott handles his own tasks. I'm expecting to see him today09:44
smartboyhwzequence, I am too09:45
zequenceWe can add create-resources ourselves though09:45
smartboyhwyep09:45
zequenceI still need to change our seeds and metas, so I will do that at the same time09:52
smartboyhwzequence, :)09:52
smartboyhwzequence, that = putting create-resources in?09:52
zequenceYes09:55
zequenceI'm not sure we should have an upgrade add two more metas09:55
zequenceOr, if we do, the user should have a choice09:56
smartboyhwzequence, but then that will mean we're not giving them the experience + workflows they should get while upgrading09:56
zequenceLen-nb: When modifying seeds, it's enough just to make a comment in bzr. I'd prefer having the seed files clean, and only use comments there for things that need attention10:45
zequenceA comment in the bzr commit, I mean10:45
zequenceLen-nb: Do you recognize this task from blueprints? "[ubuntustudio-dev] Make sure the custom menu has entries for "all" multimedia applications available to Linux"10:49
zequenceLen-nb: I've postponed most of our tasks in our blueprints. We can still do some of those. Just cleaning up our stuff before feature freeze10:56
zequenceI think the only thing I will have time for is prepare new metas (if I do that today). 10:58
smartboyhwzequence, what new metas?11:13
zequencesmartboyhw: We're putting together all the audio metas into one11:14
smartboyhwzequence, oh11:14
smartboyhwzequence, /me wants to try.11:14
zequencesmartboyhw: I need to learn this too. And, I figure you have enough to do already.11:15
smartboyhwzequence, not much today11:15
smartboyhwBasically nothing11:16
zequenceWell, I won't save any time by showing you how11:16
smartboyhwzequence, OK11:16
zequence..not right now at least11:16
smartboyhwOK11:17
zequencesmartboyhw: If you can find something in the blueprint, even if it's postponed, that you think you can do, do it11:18
smartboyhwzequence, ok11:18
zequenceThere were some ideas about GRUB11:19
smartboyhwzequence, uh huh11:19
zequencesmartboyhw: The three last items in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntustudio-r-misc11:20
smartboyhwI will try the 10-second thing first....11:20
smartboyhwzequence, hmm blender is now starting to being packaged for 2.6611:51
zequencesmartboyhw: packaged, where?11:55
zequenceDebian?11:55
smartboyhwzequence, yep:)12:17
smartboyhwzequence, didn't you follow the pkg-multimedia-commits mai list?12:18
zequencesmartboyhw: I wasn't following the progress of blender being packaged, no12:19
smartboyhwzequence, you should (as a member of the Debian MM)12:19
zequencesmartboyhw: The only person who needs to do that is the one maintaining it12:19
zequenceOr, whoever has some interest in a new version12:19
smartboyhwzequence, well it is one of the requirements when joining the team I think12:20
zequencesmartboyhw: To follow the progress of blender. no12:20
smartboyhwzequence, really?12:20
zequenceI subscribe to the mail list. I don't keep track of individual packages, if I have no interest in them12:20
zequenceOnly if I have an interest in a certain update of a certain package12:21
zequenceLike, if there is a really cool feature change, or an important bug fix12:21
zequenceThen it might be interesting to sync it too12:21
smartboyhwzequence, no that's for ALL commit12:22
smartboyhws/commit/commits/12:22
kubotusmartboyhw meant: "zequence, no that's for ALL commits"12:22
smartboyhwzequence, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/Join12:22
smartboyhw"have subscribed pkg-multimedia-commits mailing list.'12:23
zequencesmartboyhw: Yes, and it is good to subscribe to the mail list. But, it isn't important to keep track of packages that aren't meaningful to you12:24
smartboyhwzequence, no I just saw it through the mailing list anyway so I tell it to you:P12:24
zequencesmartboyhw: Let me ask you. Why would you want to become a Debian multimedia member?12:24
smartboyhwzequence, to help packaging new apps.12:25
smartboyhwFor example, remember the app I told you before (vModSynth)?12:25
zequenceYes12:25
smartboyhwI want to package it to Debian (as you suggested) and it would be good for me to join the team12:25
smartboyhwAs one of the MM guy suggested12:25
zequenceWell, that's all good. But, what I'm after is this: The reason why we do anything is to improve free software. While it is fun to do some things, we will only do them, if we are improving something12:26
smartboyhwWe are aren't we!?12:27
zequenceForget I mentioned anything. It's a very tricky subject anyway12:28
zequencesmartboyhw: If you happen to know a new version of a Debian package fixes something for us, I would be happy to know about it12:28
zequenceOtherwise, I get all that mail too12:29
smartboyhwzequence, OK12:29
zequenceThere was a nice peak of user activity after posting on fb. It's nice being able to see some statistics, even if they don't really tell all that much in the end13:25
zequenceIt does help making posts anyway13:25
zequencePeople will pass the posts along, which could make a world of difference13:26
smartboyhwzequence, :)13:27
zequenceI just got a mail from someone wanting to join14:01
zequenceHe will probably not have much time, but seems adequate in many areas. I need to post on non-audio mail lists too14:01
zequenceOtherwise, we'll only have audio experts and no one who knows a thing about anything esle14:01
smartboyhwzequence, good14:02
* smartboyhw isn't an audio expert:P14:03
zequencesmartboyhw: Well, you are instead more interested in all the administrative work14:04
smartboyhwzequence, !?14:04
* smartboyhw isn't14:04
zequenceWhat do you call maintaining packages?14:05
zequenceOr, administering source14:05
zequenceIt's all administration14:05
smartboyhw...14:05
zequenceAnd audio enthusiast might not know how to create a package, but knows exactly what the application should do14:06
zequenceIf you as a packager don't know what you are packaging, you will need someone else to help you giving feedback14:06
zequenceBeing a packager, or even a project leader is nothing more than being a secretary14:08
zequenceYou are serving the community with your skills in administration14:08
* smartboyhw puts zequence in a community leadership conference alongside Jono Bacon :P14:09
len_1304zequence, feel free to purge comments from seeds. At least the audio part as you work on it. I will do the desktop when you are finished.14:20
len_1304I am not sure how that add all known audio/art apps to the menu got there.14:21
len_1304I think the idea is to make sure if the user installs something from the repo it ends up in the correct submenu.14:21
zequencelen_1304: The problem I'm having is getting what that workitem is about. Is it to add an entry that has all the multimedia apps in it?14:22
zequenceWhat for?14:22
len_1304It is a lot of work though as it requires installing _everything_14:22
len_1304Then checking where the app ends up in the menu14:22
len_1304I think the better way is to wait for it to get bugged. and then do it.14:23
len_1304Call it postponed if it is raring and maybe change or remove other wise14:24
zequenceOk, well. This is why I'd rather use standards, and just add variables in the menu entries, for the most part14:24
len_1304Like I say we should just wait till a user installs and files a bug report.14:24
len_1304Then we can make a patch for the source and run it upstream as far as someone is willing to listen14:25
len_1304A patch for the *.desktop file is trivial14:25
zequenceOk, was able to redo the ubuntustudio-meta source. All is working but the audio meta, but I haven't changed the seeds yet14:31
zequenceOur metas might get broken for a little while now14:31
zequenceI'll try my best to sort it out withing a couple of days14:31
* smartboyhw really doesn't understand why he is running for membership again...14:32
zequencelen_1304: Actually, what I most want to do is to have less tasks when installing from alternate media15:21
zequenceOn some afterthought, people will probably want to at least have a plugins meta15:22
zequenceon top of the audio one15:22
zequenceI'd be willing to create a bunch of metas, but not so they appear as tasks15:25
zequenceOok. Managed to change the seeds16:05
zequenceHad some problems building the meta source after that, but I seemed to have fixed it. The ISO will hopefully build fine tomorrow16:06
zequenceNow, only thing that remains to be seen is if the metas look the way they should, and if tomorrows ISO has the correct set of tasks for the installation (and if our DVD is including it all)16:06
zequencelen_1304: I've revived an old branch, which only had one revision before (used to create the initial meta I suppose) https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-meta/ubuntustudio-meta16:08
zequenceUsing it to update the meta16:08
zequencelen_1304: And, added a build recipe for it, so we can build new versions when we want https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ubuntustudio-meta-testing16:09
zequence..to that PPA16:09
zequenceproblem is, the recipe seems only useful for making it build daily. There's a 7 hour wait now, and therefore, I'm building on my own PPA now just to test the meta16:10
zequencemicahg: I've been messing around with seeds and metas today :)18:01
zequencemicahg: Been testing a new meta source, and it seems to work18:01
zequenceThe ISO remains to be seen, but I'm not expecting much trouble there18:02
zequencemicahg: I've put the source here https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-meta/ubuntustudio-meta18:04
zequencemicahg: I was hoping you could upload it. The changelog is a little weird, as it was autogenerated18:06
micahgzequence: let's wait for the ISO, if it's good, I'll upload the meta18:07
zequencemicahg: Alright18:07
zequencemicahg: though, the metas won't be on it, of course18:07
zequenceBut, I guess all the packages will install anyway18:08
zequenceJust not the metas themselves. 18:08
micahgyeah18:08
zequenceOr, something18:08
zequencehmm, the build just failed18:21
zequenceThe metas are probably fine, but something with the seeds. It built the minimal system, and then - nothing18:23
micahgoh, hrm, I might need to upload fixes to make the images work again, I keep forgetting what order it needs to happen in18:59
zequenceI didn't add anything new, that there didn't exist metas for already. But, I might have messed up the seeds file anyway19:21
zequenceI'd love to be able to test this locally19:22
zequenceWhen using germinate, both audio and audio-plugins were not containing much, but that much was expected19:25
zequencegerminate -s ubuntustudio.raring (fills your current dir up with lots of text files)19:25
=== jta is now known as jta_afk
zequenceAh, well. Some metas have no seed files, but I wonder if that would break the build then?20:27
zequence-recording and -generation metas exist for this build, but the seed files they're looking for don't exist20:28
zequenceso, don't know if that could cause any problems20:28
=== jta_afk is now known as jta
Len-nbzequence, Re. seeds, audio common is required by video, you may need to add its apps there. (it supplies jack for the video apps that need it for one)23:08
zequenceLen-nb: Ah23:10
zequenceOk, that could be it23:10
Len-nbMight be good to check other deps :)23:11
zequenceLen-nb: nope23:11
zequenceI guess you mean ffmpeg-common23:12
Len-nbThere is at least one program that needs jack23:12
zequenceThen I think it's in the dependencies for that particular package23:13
Len-nbxjadeo. but I don't see the dep as you say.23:14
zequenceIt has libjack as its' dependency23:17
