smartboyhwHey cub 07:24
smartboyhwUnfortunately, we still can't release 12.04.3 yet:P07:24
cubdoh07:26
cubwhat's holding it back?07:26
cuband good morning smartboyhw :P07:26
smartboyhwcub, Wubi.07:27
smartboyhwAnd late respins of alternates07:27
smartboyhwWubi is seemingly the biggest problem though07:27
cubbut that's not only for US, but affects everyone?07:27
cubadn wubi schmubi! ;)07:27
smartboyhwcub, EVERYONE07:27
smartboyhwThat will mean we will have to wait until America wakes up07:28
smartboyhwWell, we aren't anxious for this release at least:P07:28
Noskcaj:'(07:28
smartboyhwAnyways07:29
* cub likes to keep deadlines07:32
smartboyhwcub, it was extended to Fridays sometimes07:33
cubsmartboyhw, hon the G+ page you replied "After the Xubuntu meeting, the Ubuntu Studio developers have agreed that we are not going to include Mir. Some of the factors are Xubuntu-related I can say, but because we think that Mir is unstable enough. " but I can't see anything in the logs that there was a decision made?07:51
smartboyhwcub, well, that's at least mine and OvenWerks's idea07:52
smartboyhwAnd I think zequence has not objected to that.07:52
cubSure, the discussions have pointed to "probably not until 14.10" but I think I have missed any final decision on the issue?07:52
smartboyhwcub, just look at yesterday's logs (after the meeting for #ubuntustudio-devel)07:52
cubI did.07:52
smartboyhwcub, now "probably no until 14.10" is wrong07:52
cubthree times.07:52
smartboyhwcub, can you clarify the "probably not until 14.10" part?07:54
smartboyhwIn G+07:54
cubthe 14.10 comment is not on G+, it is my conclusion from the discussion that have been made here in the channel.07:54
smartboyhwcub, OvenWerksFor those who didn't see, xubuntu will not run xMIR for 13.1015:3807:54
smartboyhwsmartboyhwSo we won't.15:3907:54
smartboyhwknomesmartboyhw, you can if you want.15:3907:54
smartboyhwOvenWerksknome: we will probably lag behind xubuntu.15:3907:54
smartboyhwknomesure, but please realize that you're not locked with X with our decision :)15:4107:54
smartboyhwOvenWerkshowever, we will be doing testing with MIR as it shows up and stablizes as some of work will end up on DEs that do use MIR.15:4207:54
smartboyhwknomeyup15:4207:54
smartboyhwknomesounds fair07:54
smartboyhwWe didn't EVER say 14.1007:55
smartboyhwAt least yesterday07:55
cubyes. But that is a two row discussion. I don't see that as a definite decision until zequence says so.07:55
smartboyhwzequence, are you in support of Mir?07:56
cubAnd no, as I wrote my 14.10 comment is my conclusion after earlier discussions here in this channel.07:56
smartboyhwcub, em, obviously your second comment is WRONG.07:57
cub:D how can it be wrong?07:57
smartboyhwcub, sure, give me evidence to why you think it's 14.10.07:57
smartboyhwMaybe we said it before, but I don't remember it07:57
cubit's my interpretation of the discussions from several weeks back. It can't be wrong or right.07:58
smartboyhwcub, several weeks BACK, oh07:58
* smartboyhw forgotten07:58
cubsmartboyhw, I think you misunderstand me. I don't mean a particular sentence at one specific time. When there has been discussions from time to time 14.10 keeps coming up as a possble earliest time. Nothing set in stone or decided. Just discussions.07:59
smartboyhwcub, let's see anyway07:59
smartboyhwNow, if zequence says yes to XMir for 13.10, I think that IS surprising:P08:00
cubyeah08:00
smartboyhwMaybe I should edit my G+ comment to "most"08:01
smartboyhwAt least, me and OvenWerks 08:01
cubI wouldn't run it on any important computer yet. Then again, 13.04 messed up my laptop bad in an important meeting after release. :D08:01
smartboyhwlol lol08:01
cubI was not a happy camper.08:01
cubI was the one supposed to take the meeting notes as well.08:02
cub"Sorry my computer just died and deleted the last 30 minutes of discussions". :P08:02
smartboyhwhuh08:03
cuband when it happened four times during the meeting people started to get a bit annoyed.08:03
cubSo, I run 12.04 now. :PO08:03
smartboyhwoh oh08:04
smartboyhwcub, yeah, it's at least LTS:P08:04
cubJono Bacon is coming to Stockholm in November. I'm hoping to facilitate so I can be on the sessions08:23
smartboyhwcub, oh>08:24
smartboyhw?08:24
cubhttp://internetdagarna.se/english/ He's one of the keynote speakers08:24
smartboyhwI do hope to meet people like jcastro when OpenStack Summit happens in HK08:24
cubthough in the programme it seems Jono will only do a 30 minutes session..:/08:42
smartboyhwthat's better than 0, cub 08:42
cubyes, but it's 125 euro08:43
smartboyhwHah08:44
smartboyhwcub, well it's 150 USD here too08:45
smartboyhwBut I heard that if I submit some code, I can go in for free.08:45
cubbut that would be an ubuntu event?08:46
smartboyhwAnd that's from a Ubuntu Community Council member:P08:46
smartboyhwcub, NO08:46
smartboyhwOpenStack is cloud technologyu08:46
smartboyhwOfc, Ubuntu Cloud support OpenStack08:46
cubaha the one you mentioned08:46
smartboyhwcub, yep08:46
cubThe internet days in Stockholm is arranged by a government company. No free admissions here!08:46
cubzequence, are you around?10:34
cubsmartboyhw, you used trello.com right? I got an invite to a new system KanbanJovi that's tied into Google Hangout.11:51
smartboyhwcub: eh?11:52
smartboyhwHello DarkEra:)11:52
smartboyhwcub: what's that?11:52
smartboyhwI mean, KanbanJovi11:52
DarkErahi smartboyhw11:52
* smartboyhw uses Trello for Kubuntu11:52
knomebrother of jon bon jovi?11:52
cubA similar service but you can start a google hangout directly from the board.11:53
cubknome, my thoughts too when I got the link..hehe11:53
smartboyhwcub: oh11:53
* smartboyhw doesn't normally use Google+ Hangouts so don't ask him11:53
cubaha then it's to no use for you. :)11:54
smartboyhwSigh, time to sign up for a Ubuntu Member certificate...11:54
cubI thought you were already11:55
cuboh wait cert11:55
smartboyhwcub: cert:P11:55
knomewhat's the point of the cert?11:55
smartboyhwknome: university applications (LOL)11:55
cubCV?11:55
knomehah11:55
knomebut it's quite easy to get the membership, right11:56
smartboyhwknome: Right, that's why I'm going in for MORE programs.11:56
cubIs it? I've skimmed the process pages but gave up. :D11:56
smartboyhwI will participate in Google Code-In this year.11:56
cubsmartboyhw, cool. 11:57
knomecub, i mean in the sense that if you contribute to ubuntu, you will eventually get it11:57
knomecub, you don't really need to specifically think about it11:57
smartboyhwcub: One day when we think you are ready to apply, we will tell you. (So as DarkEra)11:58
cubhaha ok11:58
smartboyhwcub: For how long have you joined us?11:58
cuboh I don't know what date that might count as "official"11:59
smartboyhwcub: Just when?11:59
knomesmartboyhw, oi, don't pressure the guy11:59
cubI've been active in the community since 2004ish11:59
cubbut I didn't hang out in thhis channel until a couple of months ago or something12:00
smartboyhwcub: Uh!12:00
smartboyhwknome: I'm not pressuring, just knowing when:P12:00
cubbut I'm not listed in any wiki pages so I guess I'm a hangaround. :P12:00
smartboyhwcub: we will list you one day, for sure.12:01
smartboyhwYou seem to be even better than me:P12:02
cubwell I'm not here for the glory. :D12:02
smartboyhwcub: Of course:)12:03
smartboyhw:P12:03
cubI'm here for World Domination.12:03
cub;D12:03
smartboyhwcub: oh12:04
smartboyhwWell, this is a small world.12:04
smartboyhwIf you want to be in a bigger world, work much harder.12:04
zequencesmartboyhw: cub: It is true that we are following Xubuntu on this, and that has been the general idea all along12:46
zequenceBut, we haven't really agreed on anything12:46
zequenceI mean, we haven't taken a stand, as the question hasn't really been out specifically12:46
zequenceIf Xubuntu would have chosen to go with XMir, then it would have been something to discuss12:47
zequenceSo, in this way it would be incorrect to claim that we have agreed on something about XMir12:47
smartboyhwOK, /me deletes post12:47
zequencesmartboyhw: It's ok12:47
smartboyhwzequence: or, do you want me to change it to another form?12:47
zequencesmartboyhw: If you want, you could edit it. But, I personally don't think it's that important12:48
zequencegood to think about this in the future though. It can be tricky to speak on behalf of an organization sometimes12:48
smartboyhwzequence: yeah12:49
cubmany seem to have strong opinions around the question as well12:49
smartboyhwAnyways, zequence we aren't doing it for 13.10 right?12:49
zequencesmartboyhw: No. There's no reason to start doing that this late in the game, especially since Xubuntu is not doing it12:49
smartboyhwPhew:)12:50
zequenceOur main interest is to offer a practical and stable solution for multimedia. A further goal is to become DE agnostic. So for us, the discussion about technologies is not idelogically as important12:50
zequenceBut, of course, if any of us feel very strongly about Mir, those opinions should of course be aired12:51
cubNah if it works and use less resources I will probably use it. But that's possible no matter what we ship as default.12:52
smartboyhwWell, I like Mir, tbh12:52
smartboyhwBut, not stable enough12:52
smartboyhwQuite different from my Kubuntu people who has more hatred towards it:P12:52
cubzequence, when you have the time I have a couple of questions around the seed stuff12:54
zequencecub: shoot12:55
cubWhen downloading the seed, should I do "bzr branch" as we talked about, or "bzr checkout" as the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement instructs?12:56
smartboyhwbzr branch12:57
cub2) When I'm going to upload, should I do that to the lp:~ubuntustudio-contributors/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.saucy or my personal lp?12:57
* smartboyhw recommends personal lp, dunno for zequence12:58
zequencecub: We don't say upload, we say push. And, if you just do "bzr push", it will push to where you got the branch12:59
zequencecub: you should push to the contributor branch12:59
cubShouldn't I do commit before push?12:59
zequencedoesn't matter if it gets messed up. That's the point in having that branch12:59
zequencecub: Yeah12:59
smartboyhwcub: ofc12:59
zequencecub: make one commit for each change12:59
zequencecub: if you add one application, commit it separately13:00
zequenceIt's a good general rule13:00
cubso I could make one change, one commit, a new change, a new commit, then push?13:00
smartboyhwyep13:00
zequenceyeah13:00
cuband last one for the actual desktop file13:01
zequencewhich desktop file?13:01
zequenceseeds don't have desktop files. Just instructions on which packages to include on the image13:01
cubthere's only one file called "desktop"..?13:01
zequenceAh, right13:01
smartboyhwcub: Oh, you mean that desktop13:01
cub:)13:01
cubto my understanding I should put in: * gnome-orca13:02
zequencecub: do this. edit "desktop". do "bzr status"13:02
cuband not: * (gnome-orca)13:02
zequencecub: It should say "desktop" was changed13:02
zequencethen do: bzr commit -m "your message"13:02
* smartboyhw wonders should gnome-orca be really a hard depend instead of recommends13:03
cubok 13:03
cubsmartboyhw, I'm not sure. But if it's in (gnome-orca) it won't be included when you boot from a USB?13:04
smartboyhwcub: Let me check13:05
cubbut I don't have run germinate locally before I commit or push?13:06
smartboyhwcub: I think so13:06
cubsmartboyhw, about which question?13:06
smartboyhwnetwork-manager-gnome is included in the ISO with a recommends13:06
smartboyhwcub: hard depend or recommends13:06
cubok13:06
smartboyhwFor gnome-orca13:06
smartboyhwzequence: what's your view?13:06
cubin the desktop-gnome file that was in the seed it list "* ati-spi2-core" and then "* (gnome-orca)" and "* (brltty)" so perhaps the best way to go?13:07
smartboyhwcub: gnome-orca is included in the ISOs for ubuntu-gnome13:09
zequenceTo my understanding recommends will be included unless you do: apt-get install --no-install-recommends13:09
smartboyhwWhich, I think images do install recommends13:09
cubok13:09
zequenceI think it's better to set it to recommends, if it's not absolutely needed13:09
smartboyhwIt should be recommends13:10
smartboyhwI think13:10
zequenceJob interview on Monday. Starting to hold my thumbs already :P13:11
cubI'll give it a shot, push and then someone will take a look I suppose?13:11
zequencecub: OvenWerks already added gnome-orca13:11
smartboyhwzequence: what's the job?13:11
zequencecub: What you could do is first pull from the main branch13:11
smartboyhwzequence: did he add he as a recommends?13:11
smartboyhw(it13:11
zequencethen push to contributors13:11
cubyeah I know. But not in the contributor branch13:11
smartboyhwEven OvenWerks make it as a recommends;P13:12
cubsmartboyhw, he put it as recommends13:12
smartboyhwcub: so you should!13:13
zequencecub: One nice way to keep track of branches is to add them as variables. Add to your .bashrc: export SEEDS=lp:~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.saucy13:13
zequencethen just: bzr pull $SEEDS13:13
smartboyhwzequence: you missed a source ~/.bashrd13:13
smartboyhw*~/.bashrc13:13
OvenWerkscub: The reason to use recomends, is that in the case of a depends, if someone decides to remove that application it then removed the whole meta.13:14
smartboyhwWhich will be a disaster:P13:14
OvenWerkscub: but if it is a recomends then removing one app just removes that app.13:14
zequencecub: You need to either do: "source ~/.bashrc" to reload the settings, or start a new terminal shell13:14
cubOvenWerks, that would suck. :D13:15
OvenWerkscub sometimes knowing why helps things make sense13:15
zequenceWell, the meta would be removed, but not the applications for it13:15
smartboyhwzequence: What if a user runs sudo apt-get autoremove?:P13:16
OvenWerksthere is also a difference in things installed by the ISO (first install) and metas installed after that.13:16
zequencesmartboyhw: Shouldn't remove things, I don't think13:20
smartboyhwzequence: I doubt that.13:21
zequencegive it a try13:22
zequenceremove a ubuntustudio meta, and see if autoremove wants to remove some apps from the meta13:22
zequenceone which has recommends in it13:22
* smartboyhw tries13:24
zequenceOvenWerks: I put out the question on #ubuntu-devel as well13:29
zequenceOvenWerks: Are you subscribing to the ubuntu-motu mail list? I'm thinking maybe that could be effective as well13:29
OvenWerksThank you I was about to do that13:29
OvenWerksI will try the ML13:29
smartboyhwOvenWerks: yeah, you're correct!13:29
smartboyhwOops, that's to zequence:P13:30
* OvenWerks thinks it shouldn't be this hard13:30
OvenWerkscub, smartboyhw: Re (x)MIR, It is pretty much a non-issue for us. From our pov, while we use xfce, MIR should act like a drop in replacement for X. That is all apps built against the X libs should function.13:39
smartboyhwOvenWerks: the problem is that at 14.04 there will be NO fallback from XMir to X.13:40
OvenWerksyes. but it still has to act like X to an x program. I don't know the future plans of the MIR team, but, I think being x like in the future may also mean accepting wayland commands.13:42
OvenWerksI don't know if there are plans for that or not.13:42
smartboyhwOvenWerks: Just ask in #ubuntu-mir:13:43
smartboyhw:P13:43
OvenWerksIf MIR works really well and gets released in thhe debian side of things... and works better than...13:44
OvenWerksthen it may not matter so much.13:44
OvenWerksit might even become standard.13:44
OvenWerksupstart and systemd came out at the same time and most of the linux world has gone systemd, that doesn't seem to matter much as that interface only stops and starts things, any admin should be up to the task of writing a config in either case.13:47
OvenWerkswith MIR/X/wayland, the SW is interacting with it all the time. It affects machine performance and feel. People are much more likely to select which they use based on feel.13:48
OvenWerksIf MIR is being used while wayland is still in development, that will change things too.13:49
OvenWerksthis is even more true if MIR is noticably faster/smoother than x13:50
cubzequence, where's the job interview and what kind of work?13:52
OvenWerksunity has been slow on x (my experience), but if MIR can make it perform better than xfce on x, then they have solved one of unity's biggest downsides.13:53
zequencecub: It's through Manpower/Expiris. Not sure for what yet. They've sent my CV to a couple of places, Ericson among others13:56
cubalright13:57
zequenceSomething Unix-y13:57
cubYou mean something GNU/linux-y ;)14:09
zequencecub: Maybe. Depends on the job :/14:12
zequenceOf course, I'd rather play with penguins then Eunuchs14:13
zequenceMostly just cause I feel bad for eunuchs. Nothing wrong with them otherwise14:13
OvenWerkssmartboyhw: where do I run bzr launchpad-login? Does it need to be run on every package?14:17
OvenWerksI set it.14:20
OvenWerksI will see on my next push if it works14:20
cubisn't that saved in your ./bazaar/bazaar.conf after the first time?14:20
OvenWerksIt looks like a once only thing.14:21
OvenWerksIt may be something got lost when I reistalled the OS14:21
cubhehe that might be it.14:21
zequenceNot sure if it's a Xubuntu/Ubuntu Studio thing14:21
zequenceBut, makes sense about logging in while in the branch14:22
OvenWerksIt did work when I used it the first few times14:22
zequenceI haven't thought about that. And, also, haven't put so much effort on it. After all - you need an ssh key to push14:22
zequenceSo, it's secure in that way14:22
smartboyhwOvenWerks: It's run once:)14:22
OvenWerksThanks14:23
OvenWerksI will see when I do the next -settings push14:23
OvenWerkssmartboyhw: did you see this: http://imagebin.org/268425 ?14:24
smartboyhwOvenWerks: I admit I didn't.14:25
OvenWerksThat is on a machine that also has newer generic kernels on it.14:25
smartboyhwNow I did:P14:25
smartboyhwBut for the god's sake, why is there a Ubuntu 11.04?!?!!?14:25
OvenWerksIt will show ubuntustudio, but that is a different patch14:25
OvenWerks(different directory too)14:26
smartboyhwGreat14:26
OvenWerksI am not sure if the current 10_linux is the same as debian or already patched by ubuntu, but I would like to send a patch upstream that allows the user/distro to flag a kind of kernel to be default... such as lowlatency or RT or whatever14:29
* OvenWerks celbrates the releaase of his first ever sw package :)15:03
smartboyhwOvenWerks: \o/15:03
* smartboyhw hugs OvenWerks15:03
OvenWerksubuntustudio-installer is now in the ubuntu repos15:03
smartboyhwOvenWerks: NOT YET15:04
smartboyhwIt still needs to go through NEW I imagine15:04
smartboyhwYep, xnox confirmed it15:05
smartboyhwIt hasn't appeared yet:P15:06
OvenWerksthats ok, I still have to do settings to get it to work right. That is what I am working on now.15:08
smartboyhwOvenWerks: Let me tell Riddell to be specifically straight in ubuntustudio-installer NEW review, so you can taste failure (LOL)15:09
OvenWerksAt my age, I have tasted many failures already. Anything here is minor.15:13
smartboyhwOvenWerks: at least, your first failrue of a NEW pacakge;P15:13
smartboyhw*package15:13
cubzequence, I just did a push to the https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-contributors/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.saucy . I think it looks ok ...15:49
* cub is feeling hi-tech doing push from the bus over 3G modem15:49
cubhey OvenWerks congrats on the sw package! :D nice work15:51
OvenWerksThank you.15:51
OvenWerkssmartboyhw: How do we get SW out of new?16:03
OvenWerkscan our devs test? or does it need something more?16:03
OvenWerkszequence: I have tested my grub lowlatency patch on a system with no lowlatency kernels. 16:15
smartboyhwOvenWerks, it will be manually reviewed16:16
OvenWerksupdate grub runs with no errors and the boot screen is as if our addition was not there.16:16
OvenWerksSo it is safe either way.16:17
smartboyhwzequence, I REALLY HAVE TO SLEEP. So can you do the tiresome job of updating the download links, send the announcements, post the annoucnements to website and social mediae?16:17
OvenWerkssmartboyhw: you may be waiting a while for that answer :)16:18
OvenWerksbut that should be ok16:18
smartboyhwzequence, and on that reason, I think it might be a better idea if we can add ~len-ovenwerks to ~ubuntustudio-release.16:18
OvenWerksI would not normally be available at this time either... but I am on hollidays :)16:19
smartboyhwOvenWerks, oh:P16:19
* smartboyhw is on summer holiday too16:20
smartboyhwBut it's 00:20 here16:20
OvenWerksHowever, if you need sleep, go do it.16:20
smartboyhwThat's why I hate delaying into Fridays and waiting for the Americans...16:21
smartboyhwEven though we have no choice16:21
=== HisaoNakai_ is now known as HisaoNakai
OvenWerksknome: quick question, if some our our packages (like -menu) are depends of our -settings package do I (or should I) still add it to the seeds?16:46
OvenWerkszequence: ^^16:48
xequenceOvenWerks, Yes, I think you should add it, even if you don't have to17:13
xequenceWe should add each individual package that we explicitly want for it's own purpose, if you understand what I mean17:13
xequenceSome packages have their own purpose, but are also depends to others17:14
OvenWerksxequence: right. Will do. I am trying to figure out why my LP id does not show up with my uploads. I will use my pushes to check changes I make.17:34
OvenWerksIt looks like xfce will be fixing their .menu file. This is good as we will be able to just run our merge against the stock xfce file... one less thing to maintain17:36
OvenWerksxequence: our settings package has an empty /etc/skel directory. do we need it?18:12
xequenceOvenWerks, I suppose not :)18:17
OvenWerksGa!, there are hidden files in there after all. forget I said anything18:19
OvenWerksxequence: I can't add the two packages to seeds untill -settings is uploaded. 19:44
OvenWerksI am still working on that19:44
knomeOvenWerks, what xequence said is correct. you probably should if it's essential even if it would be pulled anyway21:02
OvenWerksknome thanks. I am realizing it will have to wait till the new verion of settings is uploaded. Other wise our ISOs will break :)22:47
knome:)22:48
