[16:59] <SonikkuAmerica> Am I going to have much of a problem with Ubuntu Studio-specific applications if I use systemd as my init?
[18:08] <SonikkuAmerica> While I'm on the feature vein, is there ANY reason in the world why we can't use Light Locker instead of XScreensaver?
[18:09] <HarryHaaren> checkout http://tools.suckless.org/slock/
[18:09] <HarryHaaren> i like it: its extremely minimal.
[18:10] <SonikkuAmerica> Xubuntu uses Light Locker
[18:10] <SonikkuAmerica> and since Studio is artist-glorified Xubuntu why not?
[18:12] <SonikkuAmerica> The point still is there isn't much of a reason to use (an extremely obsolete version, too! of) XScreensaver
[18:13] <HarryHaaren> i'm not an UbuntuStudio dev, so I hope you're not talkin to me :)
[18:13] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: use what you like
[18:13] <SonikkuAmerica> Fair enough...
[18:13] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: the "issue" will be, simply, a matter of support
[18:14] <holstein> if 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 doing
[18:14] <holstein> what do i suggest? i say, go with a base that is meeting your needs more, and is supported and used by a larger community
[18:14] <holstein> xubuntu is a great place for that..
[18:14] <SonikkuAmerica> holstein: Sure I could do that...
[18:15] <holstein> you can then add, whatever you want, from the default repositories for audio production, that, can be supported by the ubuntustuduio project
[18:15] <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] <holstein> rather than, trying to get support here for something like the init system, which, we literally dont touch
[18:15] <holstein> and wont likely
[18:15] <SonikkuAmerica> Well, OK..
[18:16] <holstein> it'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 notice
[18:16] <holstein> its just inherited
[18:16] <holstein> but, the issue is, getting you somewhere where folks are doing what you are doing, and able to support yo
[18:16] <holstein> you*
[18:16] <SonikkuAmerica> Well I'm not here principally to rant, lol
[18:17] <holstein> ubuntustudio 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 that
[18:17] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: 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 help
[18:17] <holstein> the most and best help
[18:18] <SonikkuAmerica> Sure. 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] <holstein> if 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 that
[18:20] <SonikkuAmerica> Hmmm... 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] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: that can cross over, for sure
[18:21] <holstein> since, it would be nice if folks were able to use the studio stuff with mate..
[18:21] <holstein> should be mostly trivial to do so
[18:47] <xxavi> hi
[18:48] <xxavi> any software for work with phrases/banners ?
[19:55] <holstein> xxavi: phrases?
[19:55] <holstein> you mean, a chunk of audio? like an audio editor such as audactiy?
[19:55] <holstein> !info audacity
[19:55] <holstein> you mean, a banner? like a graphic? like the gimp?
[19:55] <holstein> !info gimp
[20:20] <xxavi> holstein: nope, I remember an older MS-DOS very popular programs for banner modify style ... I don't remember the name
[20:22] <holstein> xxavi: 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.. cheers
[20:25] <xxavi> holstein: I found it, the name is "banner mania"
