[01:33] <leftist> evening. does compiz run in studio?
[02:09] <studio-user153> Good Night
[02:10] <OvenWerks> leftist: Studio uses xfce
[02:11] <OvenWerks> the guys in xubuntu probably have a better answer.
[02:12] <OvenWerks> leftist: Studio is (right now) based on xubuntu with system tweaks and kernel to allow better lowlatency work
[02:12] <leftist> yes i use it
[02:13] <leftist> works fabulously
[02:13] <leftist> i'm still a compiz head from the old days but i'll just use compiz on another laptop and just keep studio native since it works right
[02:14] <leftist> yeah  i will just keep it native
[02:14] <leftist> thanks video toaster opps oven guy ;D
[02:14] <leftist> oven werks :D

[07:39] <arc_love> hello
[14:09] <SoundPro69> Hi there, good morning / afternoon to everyone. I am trying to install the dvdae_7.2.0_amd64.deb package (downloaded from http://www.dvdae.com/dvdae/dvdae_7.2.0_amd64.deb) which is for DVDAudioExtractor and it is failing the Lintian test as "bad quality", mostly due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions. Any clues please?
[14:10] <SoundPro69> I am on a DELL Latitude E6230 laptop running i5 with 8GB or ram on Ubuntu Studio 15.10
[19:45] <antonionegrao> ok
[23:12] <SoundPro69> Hi there, good morning / afternoon to everyone.

Any clues please?
[23:12] <SoundPro69> I am on a DELL Latitude E6230 laptop running i5 with 8GB or ram on Ubuntu Studio 15.10
[23:25] <SoundPro69> Anyone there who can give me clue?
[23:26] <SoundPro69> What does failing the Lintian test as "bad quality", mostly due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions mean? Should I install anyway?
[23:35] <SoundPro69> No one there apparently...
[23:44] <zequence> SoundPro69: Lintian test measures a package accoring to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
[23:45] <zequence> Yes, we are all here, but not active all the time :)
[23:45] <SoundPro69> So, how dangerous is it to install anyway if the issues are as per above?
[23:45] <zequence> That is mostly a question of how much you trust the packager
[23:46] <SoundPro69> I noticed more than one downloaded .deb package gives me the warning.
[23:46] <SoundPro69> I guess it's pretty strict
[23:46] <zequence> The Debian policy tries to make sure the package is ok, but just because a package breaks against the policy in some way doesn't mean it automatically is bad
[23:47] <SoundPro69> I see.
[23:47] <zequence> The Debian policy takes into account the infrastructure of the whole system
[23:47] <zequence> A single package may not be so broadminded
[23:48] <zequence> If you really want to know in which way it is bad, you need to learn in which way it breaks agains the policy
[23:49] <zequence> The error message should give you a clue
[23:49] <SoundPro69> Yes. It says due to wrong-file-ownwer uids and bad permissions
[23:51] <zequence> uid stand for "user id". Not sure why the files in the binary package has the wrong uid's. Usually root (i.e. uid == 0) owns those files
[23:52] <zequence> I'm not an expert in the policy in any way
[23:52] <zequence> Bad permissions I don't know how to interpret, but perhaps that is related
[23:53] <zequence> If you want to see what happened after installation, chech which files were installed with the command: dpkg -L <package>
[23:55] <zequence> In any case, if it is a binary package, you never know what you get, unless you study the code. If there's no source code, it's pretty hard to tell.
[23:56] <zequence> SoundPro69: This sort of stuff is not specific to Ubuntu Studio, so if you would like more eyes on the problem I would use more generic channels, such as #ubuntu, or the like
[23:56] <SoundPro69> Is it easy to remove a deb if it complicates things in my system or could it leave bad dependencies on?
[23:56] <zequence> You are always welcome here too, of course :)
[23:57] <zequence> A .deb file in itself does not add any non-system dependencies
[23:57] <zequence> So, in that sense, it is pretty safe
[23:57] <SoundPro69> You're the man! Thank you so much for all your help! Happy new year!
[23:57] <zequence> SoundPro69: To you as well!
[23:57] <SoundPro69> :-)
