| DarkEra | still didn't get the desktop loaded in VB by the way, i guess i'll be installing a cli tomorrow on another partition when i find some time | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | The gnome menu file is broken in the same way as the xfce menu file :P | 00:19 |
| OvenWerks | but fixing the file while letting us do menu layout still doesn't fix the no submenu problem | 00:21 |
| OvenWerks | zequence: my opinion is that it is not worth adding our menu to the gnomeshell menu extension. | 00:43 |
| OvenWerks | At least not till it gets fixed. | 00:44 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: Gnome might not be worth the trouble, but if you like, have a look at cinnamon | 04:09 |
| zequence | There was news about Cinnamon going to drop Gnome3 dependency all together and become a full standalone desktop system, so it'll probably change in the future some | 04:09 |
| OvenWerks | Just looking at the web page, The version of the menuin ubuntu gnome seems a ways behind. | 04:10 |
| OvenWerks | I tried to install cinnamon, but was unable to login to the de even with the intel graphics chip | 04:11 |
| zequence | Seems like my patch may have caused a regression. bug #1188881 | 04:11 |
| ubottu | bug 1188881 in jackd2 (Ubuntu) "/usr/bin/jackd:8:__udivdi3:Jack::JackFrameTimer::ResetFrameTime:Jack::JackEngineControl::NotifyXRun:Jack::JackEngine::NotifyXRun:Jack::JackDriver::NotifyXRun" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1188881 | 04:11 |
| OvenWerks | It may be because I tried to install it on the same machine as ubuntu gnome and there was a lib conflict | 04:12 |
| zequence | Well, I don't think there should be any lib conflict because of it. Dependencies are the same | 04:12 |
| zequence | ..as before. The patch only adds a few lines of code here and there to the pre-existing package | 04:13 |
| OvenWerks | Someone says your chnage and the problem do not seem connected | 04:14 |
| zequence | One needs to be accepted to Ubuntu's error tracker in order to see the whole story | 04:14 |
| zequence | That guy Langasek believes it might be compiler related | 04:15 |
| OvenWerks | should be easy to test | 04:16 |
| zequence | DarkEra: What's the story behind your nickname anyway? | 15:57 |
| zequence | Sounds like a great old death metal band | 15:57 |
| zequence | or the name of one | 15:57 |
| zequence | Makes me nostalgic almost | 15:57 |
| DarkEra | nothing special, when i joined in on the dutch ubuntu forums and irc back in 2007/2008 i just came up with it and used it since then | 15:59 |
| zequence | NickG: I did a few small changes to the website yesterday, I think it was. Added some links to the side panel http://ubuntustudio.org/ | 16:07 |
| NickG | good stuff | 16:08 |
| NickG | I haven't looked at it enough yet to know what is new there lol | 16:08 |
| zequence | I think what we should focus on with the website is really just make it as accessible as possible | 16:09 |
| NickG | I got a day planned with my wife today but tomorrow I'm going to go in through ftp and download the wp-content and make a new installation on my server and put it in there | 16:09 |
| NickG | I like accessibility | 16:09 |
| NickG | What we run into eventually is accessibility < clutter | 16:09 |
| NickG | I've seen a lot of websites, and a lot of them are just... heavy | 16:10 |
| NickG | I like the layout, its all logical too | 16:10 |
| zequence | One thing that I might like to change is how the text is displayed | 16:10 |
| NickG | font/color? | 16:10 |
| zequence | Size does never need to be particularly small, unless we're talking about footnotes | 16:11 |
| zequence | Some of the text is hard to see, it's a bit too grey | 16:11 |
| zequence | Or not enough black | 16:11 |
| NickG | I notice that when I click the links on the right hand side (facebook profile, G+, etc) it opens in the same tab, taking people away from the site. we should add target="_blank" to each link to make it open in a new tab | 16:11 |
| zequence | That's a good thing to do, yeah | 16:11 |
| NickG | personally, black on white is VERY contrasting, usually a dark grey over lighter grey or white ends up looking more polished | 16:13 |
| NickG | any text in specific you're referring to? | 16:13 |
| zequence | As long as it's easy to read | 16:13 |
| zequence | I just want the text to be instantly readable | 16:13 |
| NickG | I find it is already | 16:14 |
| zequence | Really? I feel there are a few things that could be improved | 16:14 |
| NickG | where exactly? | 16:14 |
| zequence | Are you saying you can't think of anything that could make the text look better? | 16:15 |
| NickG | I did notice when I go to the articles page, the date/category font is extremely light | 16:16 |
| NickG | considering it's on a white background | 16:16 |
| zequence | I also think the text size is a bit small | 16:16 |
| zequence | this may depend a bit on browser, screen, etc | 16:16 |
| NickG | it could for sure | 16:17 |
| zequence | but, overall, I think it's too small | 16:17 |
| NickG | It looks about 11 or 12 px | 16:17 |
| zequence | The synopsis of the news on the first page could be improved as well | 16:17 |
| zequence | Right now, it doesn't include line breaks | 16:17 |
| NickG | Yeah | 16:17 |
| NickG | I notice that flaw in wordpress | 16:17 |
| zequence | And it would be nice if it also included a thumbnail of either artwork or a video | 16:18 |
| NickG | the php script telling it how/where to display content can be changed to include line breaks | 16:18 |
| NickG | for each article? | 16:18 |
| zequence | Sure | 16:18 |
| NickG | do-able for sure | 16:18 |
| zequence | We only show 4 posts at the front page right now | 16:19 |
| zequence | I've set the amount so that the vertical size works | 16:19 |
| zequence | We don't need to show more than 5 posts anyway | 16:19 |
| NickG | Another thing... this might be crazy but it seems like it's using a generic font. What about using the ubuntu type-font for the content? or one similar? | 16:20 |
| NickG | yah | 16:20 |
| zequence | I'm up for anything, so if you think it'll look nice, try it | 16:20 |
| NickG | users can access all of the articles, so it makes sense to have 4 or 5 latest posts on front page | 16:20 |
| NickG | And the text in the main banner area is definitely small | 16:21 |
| NickG | it should draw more attention because it is the first thing people see, so it needs to capture their attention | 16:21 |
| zequence | you mean "ubuntu studio"? | 16:21 |
| NickG | no | 16:21 |
| NickG | where it has the "Welcome to ubuntu studio" | 16:21 |
| NickG | "Ubuntu Studio is a free and open operating system for creative people. | 16:22 |
| NickG | We provide the full range of multimedia content creation applications for each of our workflows: audio, graphics, video, photography and publishing." could be a bit bigger | 16:22 |
| zequence | Ok, in the program they are called fron tabs | 16:22 |
| NickG | ok | 16:22 |
| zequence | front tabs | 16:22 |
| NickG | Good stuff. tonight I'll make an installation and play around with these things | 16:22 |
| NickG | I gotta run to get groceries now, though | 16:23 |
| zequence | No hurry. We don't really need to make any changes until 14.04, so you have lots of time to play around with it | 16:23 |
| NickG | ok | 16:23 |
| NickG | I'll be on later | 16:23 |
| zequence | See you later | 16:23 |
| NickG | have a good day | 16:23 |
| zequence | I'll be away, btw | 16:23 |
| zequence | You too | 16:23 |
| NickG | ok | 16:23 |
| OvenWerks | Server crashed :P moved PS and Drive to older machine... works.. sort of | 19:19 |
| OvenWerks | I have eth0 and eth2 instead of 0 and 1 | 19:19 |
| OvenWerks | It seems the os has remembered the internel eth1 if from the other mb. | 19:21 |
