SonikkuAmericaAm I going to have much of a problem with Ubuntu Studio-specific applications if I use systemd as my init?16:59
SonikkuAmericaWhile I'm on the feature vein, is there ANY reason in the world why we can't use Light Locker instead of XScreensaver?18:08
HarryHaarencheckout http://tools.suckless.org/slock/18:09
HarryHaareni like it: its extremely minimal.18:09
SonikkuAmericaXubuntu uses Light Locker18:10
SonikkuAmericaand since Studio is artist-glorified Xubuntu why not?18:10
SonikkuAmericaThe point still is there isn't much of a reason to use (an extremely obsolete version, too! of) XScreensaver18:12
HarryHaareni'm not an UbuntuStudio dev, so I hope you're not talkin to me :)18:13
holsteinSonikkuAmerica: use what you like18:13
SonikkuAmericaFair enough...18:13
holsteinSonikkuAmerica: the "issue" will be, simply, a matter of support18:13
holsteinif you go far from the defaults, and, the ubuntustudio team/project is already quite small.. you may find you are not able to get support for what you are doing18:14
holsteinwhat do i suggest? i say, go with a base that is meeting your needs more, and is supported and used by a larger community18:14
holsteinxubuntu is a great place for that..18:14
SonikkuAmericaholstein: Sure I could do that...18:14
holsteinyou can then add, whatever you want, from the default repositories for audio production, that, can be supported by the ubuntustuduio project18:15
SonikkuAmerica(This is coming from a guy who's probably going to remaster an Ubuntu GNOME image and respin it with the Studio metas)18:15
holsteinrather than, trying to get support here for something like the init system, which, we literally dont touch18:15
holsteinand wont likely18:15
SonikkuAmericaWell, OK..18:15
holsteinit'll just come in from upstream.. if you wanted to change it, and it broke something we wouldnt know, or have the infrastructure, or likely the volunteers to even notice18:16
holsteinits just inherited18:16
holsteinbut, the issue is, getting you somewhere where folks are doing what you are doing, and able to support yo18:16
holsteinyou*18:16
SonikkuAmericaWell I'm not here principally to rant, lol18:16
holsteinubuntustudio isnt doing anything to prevent you from changing init systems, or using lightlocker, or whatever you like.. but, we cant do much to specifically facilitate that18:17
holsteinSonikkuAmerica: oh yeah, i dont think you are ranting.. and i dont mean to be either.. im just simply trying to constructively address where i think you would get the most help18:17
holsteinthe most and best help18:17
SonikkuAmericaSure. I know at one time that we (in the topic) said one should go to #xubuntu for Xfce-related help and here for the Studio packages/programs themselves...18:18
holsteinif you wanted to, for example, be the ubuntustudio team liason on what you are changing, and offer community support for it, and write up wiki pages, and basically make that happen, id personally appreciate, and support that, and offer my time as avaible to help with that18:18
SonikkuAmericaHmmm... I should probably write about stuff like that anyway. I serve as a tester and community moderator for Ubuntu MATE, and for Lubuntu Communications as well, so this would definitely go in that vein.18:20
holsteinSonikkuAmerica: that can cross over, for sure18:20
holsteinsince, it would be nice if folks were able to use the studio stuff with mate..18:21
holsteinshould be mostly trivial to do so18:21
xxavihi18:47

xxaviholstein: nope, I remember an older MS-DOS very popular programs for banner modify style ... I don't remember the name20:20
holsteinxxavi: dont know what "banner style" is.. but, you can use #ubuntu or a general linux channel.. or share more specifics about what you are looking for.. cheers20:22
xxaviholstein: I found it, the name is "banner mania"20:25
