lotuspsychjemorning Jordan_U08:12
Jordan_UDoes AMD GPU Pro support Wayland? If not what is missing for it to be supported?08:13
Jordan_Ulotuspsychje: Morning.08:14
baizoni think every open source driver supports wayland / mir08:14
baizonJordan_U: AMD/ATI: Requires open source driver (radeon/ati, not fglrx/catalyst). DRM output requires kernel version 2.6.38. Cards probably work back to Radeon 7200 (2000).08:14
baizonlike i said08:14
Jordan_Ubaizon: AMD GPU "pro" is the hybrid stack, open kernel module with proprietary userland.08:15

tsimonq2O___O oh my god, I just realized how far we are in the Xenial cycle, jeez13:01
lotuspsychjelol13:01
tsimonq2like, SERIOUSLY13:01
lotuspsychjefeature freeze in 2 :p13:01
tsimonq2Adam sent out the Final Beta Freeze yesterday night13:01
tsimonq2*Final* *Beta* *Freeze*13:02
cfhowlettyep.  1 month ...13:02
cfhowlettof course, I will wait for the .1 to actually upgrade my system, but I will vbox 16.04 on release13:02
lotuspsychjei cant wait so long :p13:03
tsimonq2I've been running it since Wily was released XD13:03
baizonphi, using 16.04 already :D13:04
baizonpretty stable13:04
* tsimonq2 gives baizon a high-five13:04
baizon0 crashes or problem13:04
baizonproblems13:04
tsimonq2yeah totally13:04
tsimonq2the only problem I have that wasn't caused by me was because I was using the apt team's PPA, and all I had to do was recompile a new version of apt, which is easy :D13:06
tsimonq2and I break my install about once every month XD13:07
lotuspsychje:p13:07
tsimonq2lol you would think I'm joking, I'm really not XD13:08
lotuspsychjehey BluesKaj13:11
BluesKajHowdy all13:11
BluesKajhi lotuspsychje13:11
tsimonq2lol right now I'm actually doing a reinstall before a meeting in like 45 minutes :D13:12
lotuspsychjetsimonq2: nice113:13
tsimonq2lotuspsychje: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/i386/apds04.html is actually a really nice guide for doing this, instead of using an installation media now, I'll do this, because even if it takes longer, on first boot I can have everything. :)13:14
lotuspsychjelets c13:14
lotuspsychjetsimonq2: lookin neat13:16
tsimonq2O__O https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ is really neat for when I'm feeling lazy XD13:17
tsimonq2(I know how to manually type it all out)13:17
lotuspsychjenever knew there was a generator like this13:18
tsimonq2totally13:18
tsimonq2I've used one for Debian, but this is awesome13:19
tsimonq2O_O I just had an idea! I should try and use ncurses and such, and get a package in the Ubuntu repos that will automatically do this!13:19
tsimonq2(if there isn't one already)13:19
TJ-debootstrap is the standard method for building images; its what the installer uses13:19
tsimonq2something like software-properties-gtk for the terminal13:20
TJ-tsimonq2: it is already there; it is called debian-installer :)13:20
tsimonq2TJ-: but don't they do some special stuff to the images?13:20
tsimonq2TJ-: no, for the sources.list13:20
tsimonq2\o/ unless I'm wrong, TJ- :)13:20
TJ-tsimonq2: debootstrap generates sources.list based on its command-line arguments. If you have "debootstrap ... --components=main,universe,multiverse" ... http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" it'll use that13:21
TJ-tsimonq2: and of course you can install additional packages as required with "--include=<package1>,<package2>,..."13:22
tsimonq2I get your point, but if a user wants to edit the sources.list on an installed system and doesn't want to touch configs?13:22
TJ-tsimonq2: well generally the idea is for additional sources to have them in separate files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<name>.list13:23
tsimonq2hmm13:23
TJ-tsimonq2: usually /etc/apt/sources.list only contains the standard Ubuntu archive entries.13:23
tsimonq2well, no, I mean for official Ubuntu repos, this theoretical tool would be like https://repogen.simplylinux.ch but WITHOUT the extra repos13:24
tsimonq2it's probably been done before :)13:24
TJ-tsimonq2: you'll find that for most Debian/Ubuntu system services, they use the /etc/<package>/<package.conffile>.d/ method so the config can call 'runparts' to build the full config from file fragments13:24
TJ-tsimonq2: well, it's easy to generate from the current Locale plus the mirror list, of course13:25
tsimonq2alright :)13:26
tsimonq2lotuspsychje: curious, do you have any involvement of building the ISOs in the Ubuntu archive, or have you just asked the right people in terms of the process13:29
lotuspsychjetsimonq2: no i dont mess with iso building13:29
tsimonq2ahh alright :)13:30
TJ-there's also the ubumirror package - targeted at mirror operators themselves, but it has some useful info in its README for example, as well as the scripts themselves13:30
lotuspsychjeremastersys or uck13:30
tsimonq2lotuspsychje: hm?13:30
lotuspsychje!info uck13:31
ubot5uck (source: uck): Tool to customize official Ubuntu Live CDs. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.7-0ubuntu2 (wily), package size 145 kB, installed size 384 kB13:31
tsimonq2oh13:31
tsimonq2okay13:31
tsimonq2TJ-: told ya they have been done before :)13:31
tsimonq2thanks lotuspsychje :)13:32
lotuspsychjenp13:32
TJ-My image builder scripts generally use the Locale to figure out the correct target config13:33
tsimonq2I would love to learn how to make an image, it would really help a team I'm in13:34
tsimonq2TJ-: you have insight into this process?13:34
TJ-tsimonq2: I've been working with the installer mechanisms for ~10 years13:37
tsimonq2sweet! where do I get started? :D13:38
TJ-My scripts expect a local apt-cacher-ng proxy to ensure the install rarely needs to fetch packages from the archive servers more than once13:38
tsimonq2oh I've seen those used in schroot systems :)13:38
tsimonq2TJ-: BTW, while I have someone here who knows what he's doing with this, rather than telling *me*, if you have the time, it would be awesome if you could update https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization , it doesn't work in Xenial13:40
* tsimonq2 kicks systemd13:40
TJ-using something like Ansible is a good way to ensure a consistent deployment, too13:40
tsimonq2what's Ansible?13:41
lotuspsychje!info ansible13:41
ubot5ansible (source: ansible): Configuration management, deployment, and task execution system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.2+dfsg-2 (wily), package size 614 kB, installed size 4161 kB13:41
tsimonq2aha okay13:42
TJ-It's one of several configuration management/orchastration tools. There's also Puppet, Chef, Salt Stack and some others13:42
tsimonq2oic13:43
TJ-whats broken about the LiveCD customisation?13:43
tsimonq2something doesn't work right with the binaries it needs13:44
tsimonq2it works fine in Trusty but not in Xenial13:44
TJ-well that's not an actionable bug report - too vague :)13:44
tsimonq2gosh darnit! I'm not aiming for a bug report! I'm asking you to try it in Xenial, you are more experienced than me and you can spot the bad stuff :)13:45
tsimonq2lol13:45
TJ-I've got other things to do13:45
tsimonq2lol ok :)13:46
TJ-the beauty of F/OSS is you can narrow down the problem yourself and then report it to the team/project that could fix it. If it is just instructions then you can edit the Wiki appropriately13:46
TJ-As lotuspsychje pointed out, uck is the tool we generally use13:47
tsimonq2I can tell you *exactly* what went wrong :)13:49
tsimonq2aha, different, but related buide, maybe subguide?13:50
tsimonq2I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch13:50
tsimonq2cp /usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin image/isolinux/13:50
tsimonq2cp /boot/memtest86+.bin image/install/memtest13:50
tsimonq2that doesn't work in Xenial ^13:50
lotuspsychjetsimonq2: http://ubtutorials.com/tutorial/699/how-create-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-or-usb-easy-way13:50
lotuspsychje!info uck xenial13:51
ubot5uck (source: uck): Tool to customize official Ubuntu Live CDs. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.7-0ubuntu2 (xenial), package size 145 kB, installed size 384 kB13:51
tsimonq2TJ-: as in, those files are not there at all13:51
tsimonq2aww come on lotuspsychje, that's GUI and it has presets... :/13:52
TJ-apt-cache show uck13:55
TJ- Features:13:55
TJ-  * Create bootable LiveCD with predefined languages based upon an original13:55
TJ-    Ubuntu/Kubuntu live CD using graphical wizard.13:55
TJ-  * Build live CD with special features using scripts. It is possible to13:55
TJ-    customize the root filesystem (for example install/remove packages), ISO13:55
TJ-    contents (add/remove docs, change names) and initrd (add modules to boot,13:55
TJ-    change boot sequence).13:55
TJ-So, both GUI and build scripts13:55
tsimonq2oh? so scripts?13:55
tsimonq2hmm, I'll play around with thatr13:57
tsimonq2*that13:57
TJ-the 'GUI' is just a wrapper around the scripts themselves14:02

lotuspsychjeim curious about the xorg death :p15:18
lotuspsychjebbl spaghetti15:21
BluesKaj_well, kubuntu is being dev'd by Blue Systems anyway so I'm not sure how much Canonical has to say about replacing X with Wayland15:22
TJ-I've dumped kubuntu/kde, it has become a massive resource hog15:30
lotuspsychjeTJ-: back to unity?16:34
TJ-crikey no!16:36
lotuspsychjelol16:36
TJ-wouldn't get me to install that even if you kidnapped the huskies!16:36
lotuspsychjeTJ-: so what your on then :p16:37
lotuspsychjedidnt you read that 10 reasons for unity haters :p16:37
TJ-XFCE, LXDE, openbox, or pure terminal16:37
TJ-no, I don't pay attention to hate stuff, I just ignore things that aren't of interest16:37
lotuspsychjeTJ-: and all your screens working as well as kde too?16:38
TJ-work better without KDE, yes16:39
lotuspsychjecool16:39
TJ-kde lost the abililty to 'know' about multiple X sessions vs multiple monitors per X screen, some time ago - bit-rot and lack of dev's using multi-monitors16:40
