cubSince a couple of weeks I have had issue with Trusty in Virtualbox only to run in 640x480 setting. Anyone else having the same problem?11:19
TheDrumscub: vbox https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1262311:38
zequence_Apparently the boot parameter "threadiqs", which has always been default on linux-lowlatency is causing kernel freezes with some drivers in the latest Ubuntu kernels11:57
zequence_I was lucky to have this proble11:57
zequence_If it doesn't get fixed, it'll mean that we won't have use for the rtirq script, by default11:57
zequence_And users will need to set the boot parameter manually, if they don't suffer from the bug11:58
=== zequence_ is now known as zequence
zequenceholstein: Not many here to consult. I use the email to make people aware of a few things during development13:28
holsteinzequence: sure, but that thread is a mess.. i was just suggesting trying to give it more focus.. so you dont have folks requesting a LAMP stack ship default in ubuntustudio14:56
holsteinkind of like len has done with the video editor discussion14:56
TheDrumsJust FYI in case you didn't see, Xubuntu is going for a git snapshot of xfce4-panel so we can get the indicators fully functioning.15:16
TheDrumsxfce4-indicator-plugin 2.2.0 should be next.15:16
holsteinTheDrums: thats good news, i think15:17
holsteinTheDrums: will that just end up in the repos? is it something we can be testing as well?15:17
TheDrumsShould be.  You can do testing right now, but unless something goes wrong it should be in the repos by the end of the week.15:18
TheDrumsIf you seed the *-gtk2 indicators, that should change.15:18
TheDrums(But wait for the whole stack before you do.)15:18
holsteini personally dont do much heavy lifting.. im mostly head of complaining and ranting.. and support ;)15:19
TheDrumsWell, it's a note to the channel.15:20
zequenceholstein: I can't help what people think I mean when I ask for input on package selection17:43
holsteinsure.. and all im saying is, ask for just that17:44
zequenceIMO, it's pretty clear what that means in general17:44
holsteinlike, "in the specific vido catagory"17:44
holsteinyou can see from the thread its a mess17:44
holsteinzequence: yeah, but its not17:44
holsteinzequence: folks are requesting skype17:44
zequenceNot my fault. I was being pretty clear17:44
holsteinzequence: im not trying to place "fault".. just a suggestion about catagories17:44
zequenceAs I said. I was pretty clear in my response17:45
holsteinok17:45
holsteinand its the initial mail that is unclear, i suppose17:45
zequenceUnfortunately, I don't think we'll have a single person putting enough effort on that, but one can always try17:45
holsteinbut, its more of a call for "what do you want in the os" rather than, "help us decide between these plugins"..17:46
holsteinfor example17:46
zequenceYou want to research what we should or should not be shipping?17:46
holsteinzequence: who would you like me to contact?17:46
zequenceOr you want to discuss what other peopel think I mean, when I ask for ideas?17:46
holsteinjust consider making it more specific in the future.. thats all.. im not trying to be combative17:47
zequenceIf you think the job needs improving, do the job17:47
holsteinagain, not trying to be combative17:48
holsteinim aware of, and appreciate all your efforts17:48
holsteini think the thread has gotten to a nice discussion of video editors17:49
zequenceI see some people list things they would like to see in Ubuntu Studio, but they aren't explaining why, which is one thing I mention intially17:49
zequenceSome things we already ship too. there's no quality in the responses17:50
zequenceSo, a waste of time, practically17:50
zequenceBut, again, one can always try17:50
holsteinthats what i was thinking17:50
zequenceOtherwise, it's just me doing things here, pretty much. Like, one guy making all the decisions17:51
holsteinand, i was trying to come up with a suggested way to break it up a bit.. "what audio plugins do you use" "what would you like to see added"17:51
zequenceIf you want, do a mail like that17:51
holsteinzequence: and, i will but i *dont* want17:51
holsteini didnt know we were in a position to accept that kind of feedback17:51
holsteini woudnt do anything like that without consulting with you on it, to see if you think we have the resources, etc17:52
zequenceTo do what?17:52
zequenceask for opinions?17:52
holsteinzequence: add/remove packages17:52
zequenceWe decide what is included17:53
holsteinsure.. and i didnt know a change was on the table17:53
zequencea change? No one has been researching what is available for years17:53
zequenceThere are new things coming out all the time17:53
zequenceThings that we might need17:54
holsteinsure.. and do we have the resources to research and add them? i didnt think so17:54
zequenceOther stuff that is obsolete, or just bad17:54
holsteinor broken.. or not supported anymore.. or not working with JACK17:54
holsteinbut, what can we do about it?17:54
zequenceAre you kidding?17:54
holsteinim not on that level, and not sure that i ever will be17:54
holsteinand i wouldnt want to put that on you or anyone else17:54
zequenceIt's just package selection. It's not rocket science17:55
holsteini didnt say, or imply it was17:55
holsteinbut, its not something i can deal with17:55
holsteinwhat are you looking at or thinking about specifically, zequence ?17:56
holsteinjust audio packages you think?17:57
zequenceIf you read the mail list, you can't miss what I meant17:57
holsteinmaybe we could pick a section and clean it up17:57
zequenceI don't have time to talk more right now17:57
zequenceSee you holstein 17:57
holsteinzequence: when you do have time, id like to work this out, becuase i *have* read the mail, and its quite general, which was my feedback17:59
holsteini would like to, truly, and non-combatively, constructively try and address a specific topic.. maybe just audio plugin, for example.. i will try and start a thread after discussing it with you, if you agree18:00
holsteinor, we could break out the video editor discussion.. which i would have to load up a few of them, since i havent seen them in action first-hand in years18:01
zequenceholstein: I think it's up to each and everyone to try make the discussions useful. And one can start a new thread anytime to discuss a certain topic18:08
zequenceThe positive side of this is that at least there are people talking18:08
zequenceWhich is a nice contrast18:08
zequenceDiscussions should be done mainly on the mail list18:09
zequenceI can't be more specific than I have been. But, you are of course free to carry on the discussion anywhere you want18:09
zequenceYou don't need my permission for anything. I just keep the keys to the locks, and make sure changes have quality18:10
zequenceDiscussing is never a bad thing18:10
zequenceRecent changes I did was dropping ardour218:13
zequenceThat's pretty much it for now18:13
holsteinso, audio production application cleanup is the ideal focus?18:14
zequenceNo. Making sure we have a sound selection is always a focus18:18
cubhi18:19
zequenceOur workflows, and desktop tools that help enhance them18:19
cubI have had the wish to look into workflows and applications, but as everyone else, time is always short.18:19
cubI didn't make much suggestions either since I haven't been doing any audio or video work for over a year. I wouldn't know about plugins.18:20
cuband suddenly feature freeze is creeping up fast.18:20
zequenceYeah, we need to make any changes in seeds before next Thursday18:23
zequenceGoing to do some kernel testing. bbl18:23
holsteinzequence: i like that last response to the list.. very clarifying..18:24
cubI'll send a request for merge later on this evening for the speech-dispatcher. Sure, it's easy for you to just add it manually but then I have done it "the right way". :)18:25
cubholstein, zequence, yeah good response.18:26
cubzequence, I made a bzr push to my own https://code.launchpad.net/~jimmy-sjolund/+junk/ubuntustudio.trusty but now I can't find any way to request a merge. Tips?22:08
cubon the https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.trusty I see the "branch merges" heading but going forward there seems to try to merge the main ubuntustudio branch with my own, which is not allowed and it's the other way around I would want, right?22:13
cub"This branch is not mergeable into lp:~jimmy-sjolund/+junk/ubuntustudio.trusty." Not sure what I'm doing wrong...22:15
knomecub, afaik, you should push to lp:~jimmy-sjolund/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.trusty22:16
cubI was wondering about that. My lp page suggested +junk and I just went with it.22:23
knomeyeah, that's the default push location22:24
cubgreat, now I got the propose for merge button, thanks knome !22:26
knomenp22:26
cubyay, merge proposed. :D22:28
cubA small step for Ubuntu Studio but a huge leap for me.22:28
knome:)22:29
