sick_rimmitHello friends19:13
clivejohi sick_rimmit19:15
sick_rimmitHey clivejo how you doing ?19:16
clivejonot too bad19:16
sick_rimmitAlright at the Docs ?19:16
clivejonot what I wanted to hear, but Ill live!19:16
sick_rimmitI just revisitng MPM..19:17
sick_rimmitMy Kubuntu 16.04 VM is dead19:17
sick_rimmitSo I'm having to build another19:18
clivejowhat happened it?19:18
sick_rimmitI had the Alpha, and I thought I'll just Upgrade it, but sddm blew up19:18
sick_rimmitNo worries, downloading the 32bit beta2 I will use that19:18
=== ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube
sick_rimmitI love debchange, it puts up a Menu of editors with nano <----- easiest19:20
sick_rimmitlol19:20
sick_rimmitDo reckon I need to edit that libmuon stuff, or can I just bin it19:24
clivejoit doesnt seem to be building that any more19:24
sick_rimmitI'll bin and see what happens19:25
clivejoI removed it from the control file19:25
clivejoand doesnt seem to be missed19:25
clivejojust didnt remove the install and other files19:26
sick_rimmitI see libqapt listed in control so thats good19:26
clivejoyeah I added a dep on libqapt19:26
clivejoto make sure it pulls in the correct version19:27
sick_rimmitlooks like you've specified libqapt-dev why does it depend on -dev versions19:28
sick_rimmitIs that for compiling it19:28
clivejoyeah, needs some dev files to build19:29
clivejothe dep on the the runtime lib19:29
sick_rimmitah yes, I noted that further down, now makes sense19:30
clivejoone thing Im bit confused about is the -runtime package19:31
sick_rimmitis the runtime a supporting binary for libqapt19:32
sick_rimmitguessing of course19:32
clivejowell I thought it should provide the actual lib19:32
clivejobut it doesnt :/19:32
sick_rimmithmm maybe a quick google for a definition of what a runtime file is19:33
clivejoits a package19:33
sick_rimmitI suspect it like a Java runtime19:33
sick_rimmitwhich just provides the base JVM for the code to run against19:33
sick_rimmitI'm still guessing19:33
clivejoyeah, but surely that should pull in the actual lib#19:34
sick_rimmitI thought that would be the other way round, the libqapt would specify a dep on runtime19:35
sick_rimmitls19:35
sick_rimmitoops19:35
sick_rimmitdoes the /patches/series file specify how the build should run the patches and in what order19:36
clivejoyes19:36
sick_rimmitas the no-canonical-support patch is # out19:37
clivejoI did that19:37
sick_rimmitsuggesting no run the patch19:37
sick_rimmit?19:37
clivejoit seems to be a patch for debian 19:37
clivejoto remove ubuntu package info19:37
sick_rimmitAh ok cool..19:37
sick_rimmitSo I think i've got it ready19:38
sick_rimmithmmm not quite xapian error19:38
sick_rimmitI have seen that myself19:38
sick_rimmitbut am still building me beta2 vm to test19:39
sick_rimmitSo here where I am at19:41
sick_rimmitmv /debian /muon/19:41
sick_rimmitdch19:41
sick_rimmitbinned libmuon19:41
sick_rimmitI reckon I need to 19:41
sick_rimmitcd ../19:41
sick_rimmittar the folder into blah_blah.debian.tar.xz19:42
sick_rimmithmm then I dunno19:42
sick_rimmitmaybe I debuild it19:42

mariogripwhat do you think about this: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/03/ubuntu-on-windows.html I think it's NOT good at all19:55
mamarleyI agree.  Microsoft is just trying to eliminate the need for the Linux kernel and get everyone using a Linux-like userland on Windows.  After that, they can drop support for said userland and force everyone to start using whatever quasi-equivalent Microsoft has.19:56
mamarleyA classic EEE maneuver.19:56
mariogripfor me it seems like canonical sponsoring his own grave19:58
mariogripthere own*19:59
mamarleyTo me, the move seems either incredibly naïve or monumentally stupid.19:59
mariogripTrue!20:00
BluesKajGod forbid!20:12
sick_rimmitThis Dustbin blokes a bit of a divy20:16
sick_rimmitHe says it opens a cmd.exe console running Ubuntu's /bin/bash20:17
sick_rimmitEr.. like it's not ubuntu's20:17
sick_rimmitSo really what it's saying is20:18
sick_rimmityou can go for Ubuntu brand gnu/linux20:18
sick_rimmitor you can go for Microsoft gnu/kernel3220:19
mamarleyPretty much.20:19
sick_rimmitWell it's nuts20:19
sick_rimmitThe reason why windows is shit20:19
mamarleyIt's an EEE maneuver, that's what it is.20:20
sick_rimmitis because of its Kernel and Registry architecture20:20
sick_rimmitPlenty of the other stuff is good20:20
sick_rimmitThey be smarter to do a MS Win10/Linux20:20
sick_rimmitor do what apple did and slot in BSD20:21
mamarleyMicrosoft is trying to capitalize on the (false, outdated) idea that Linux is hard to use and doesn't have good compatibility by making a product that has a Linux userland but on a Windows base.  If their ploy is successful, they will then drop support for the Linux userland, leaving people stuck on regular Windows.20:22
sick_rimmitOh well very good for Microsoft..20:23
sick_rimmitWell I think we should do a Kubuntu BE release20:24
mamarleyBE?20:24
sick_rimmitKubuntu Business Edition20:24
mamarleyWhat would that be?20:25
sick_rimmitAdding in KDE PIM, bundling Kolad, SuiteCRM, MoneyManager20:25
mamarleyI think the maintainers are already too busy as it is.20:26
sick_rimmitCool, so we need to get more maintainers.. simples20:26
sick_rimmit:-D20:26
sick_rimmitWell Dustins LinkedIn reads good, seems like a pretty cool dude20:29
valorieinteresting news, eh?20:53
valoriewould be good for linux users who have to run Win at work, to at least be able to work sanely and run linux applications20:53
valorieKDE wants all applications to run everywhere, already, so.....20:53
sick_rimmitProbably makes little difference, as most personal computing is done on Tablets, and Smart devices now21:00
sick_rimmitFrom MS point of view, they're late to the party with Cloud, and Linux runs like a pig on Azure21:00
sick_rimmitIn big cloud enterprise, MS are struggling, with to compete with AWS, Softlayer, OpenStack etc...21:01
valorieI don't think this will make much difference to us as Kubuntu21:02
sick_rimmitWe in the Free Software lands, just need to keep encouraging vendors like Dell, System76, Entroware to offer Linux as an pre-installed option21:02
valoriebut it might make a diff to KDE upstream21:02
valoriesick_rimmit: amen, brother21:03
sick_rimmitYes, there is opportunity here for KDE21:03
valoriemy little zareason box is still ticking, years later21:03
valorierunning latest plasma afaik (I gave it to my 11-year-old grand nephew)21:03
sick_rimmitAt some point post 16.04 LTS release, I would like to open dialogues with System76 and Entroware to get Kubuntu added as an option21:04
sick_rimmitI will have those conversations in due course21:04
sick_rimmitI break for a vacation end of tomorrow, so I will vanish for a week21:08
sick_rimmitI will be back online on Weds 6th for Kubuntu Core Team, and Podcast21:08
sick_rimmitBut otherwise its a week on no computers..21:10
sick_rimmithmmm...21:10
sick_rimmitWrestling with this one21:10

* ronnoc reads the above convo21:16
sick_rimmitAh ha21:16
* sick_rimmit Grins21:16
sick_rimmitCracked it21:16
sick_rimmitIt was my (nickname) being mismatched21:17
ronnocThat's a great idea sick_rimmit...Biz Edition, I mean...with Blue Systems providing paid support, if needed. Based on the latest LTS, etc. Me likey.21:17
sick_rimmitronnoc: Cool glad you like the idea21:18
ronnocI tried to use Ku here in the 'States at my company a few years back (no longer there now). As a result, I was invited to Camp KDE in San Diego that year21:19
ronnocSo I have a decent opinion on it's viablility21:19
sick_rimmitOf course we will need to rally more troops around Kubuntu first, to get the manpower21:19
sick_rimmitWe did back in 2002 on RH9 KDE 3 on the desktop, using OpenOffice and Mobius ERP21:20
sick_rimmit40 Workstations, £5 million enterprise, it was ACE21:20
sick_rimmitworked brilliantly21:20
ronnocThat's cool! I was gonna say in '02 RHL would likely have been the only game in town :D21:20
ronnocFor me, the key in my company was to use KDE Win as a gateway to KDE apps and, untimately, to Linux wherever possible21:21
sick_rimmitMandrake, and SuSe were options21:21
sick_rimmitI really preferred SuSE but, the ERP system required us to use RedHat21:22
ronnocSo we could use KDE apps on Win machines that needed to be Win for some silly (read: proprietary) old, crusty programs21:22
sick_rimmitAnyways it was really cool, and I was well pleased with getting KDE desktops in business21:22
sick_rimmitOh I have no interest in Windows at all, waste of space 21:23
ronnocI should go on Youtube to see if I could find old SuSe w/ KDE 1,2.x :D21:23
ronnocsick_rimmit: Me either but ofc the masses are not as enlightened as, say, you or I 21:23
ronnocIn business, you sometimes have to fight smaller battles and trust in incrimentalism to win at the end of the day21:24
valoriesick_rimmit: zareason added kubuntu for me, on request21:25
valorieah, Blue Systems doesn't do support, afaik -- we have someone else on the website that does, however21:26
ronnocRosa Linux sells KDE workstation / Pro editions in Russia with paid support. I wonder how they're doing over there? Hmmm.21:26
sick_rimmitls21:27
sick_rimmitoops21:27
ronnocvalorie: Thanks for correcting. IIRC we (Kubuntu) had offered support via Blue Sys a few years ago21:27
valorienope, different company21:28
valoriethey specialize in support21:28
valorieBS does development21:28

sick_rimmitorig.tar.gz21:31
sick_rimmitAh yes... so now its time to break out the pbuilder magic sauce21:34
vpinonhello, I'm working on Kdenlive, and we are intensively preparing our 16.04 release...21:48
sick_rimmitOh I really like Kdenlive21:48
sick_rimmitIt's really good21:48
vpinonthis time we have received much more testing than for any previous version21:49
vpinon+JB (main dev) dedicated much time to fix as many issues as possible21:49
sick_rimmitYes I saw your PPA postings,21:49
sick_rimmitI'll be covering that on the Kubuntu Podcast next week21:49
vpinonas a result, I would like to know if it is still possible to switch to Kdenlive 16.04 on Xenial??21:50
sick_rimmitI don;'t believe we install it out of the box, users have to install it from Plasma-discover21:51
vpinonI know that we will receive complaints from many LTS & Mint users for 2 years, for problems we have fixed this last month :-\21:51
vpinonYes, but the packages shipped on official Ubuntu repos?21:52
sick_rimmitSo you want to have the latest release packaged instead of the old out of date one21:52
vpinonfor iso's generiation yes it won't change anything21:52
vpinonold 15.12.3 is not that old, but 16.03.80 has many interesting fixes21:53
vpinonnot easy to backport in pkg patches21:53
sick_rimmitOK, so probablu the quickest way would be to get the Kdenlive PPA's sponsored into the repo21:53
=== mamarley is now known as Guest55970
* sick_rimmit guessing a little21:54
vpinonwhat's PPA sponsoring?21:54
=== mamarley_ is now known as mamarley
sick_rimmitgetting your build put into Ubuntu release repo21:54
sick_rimmitI think, 21:55
vpinonwow, what an honor :)21:55
sick_rimmitFor a proper advice on this yofel would probably be the person to speak to21:55
vpinoneuropean timezone?21:56
sick_rimmitHave you tried email a request to the devel list21:56
sick_rimmityes 21:56
sick_rimmitlet me look out that list for you 21:56
sick_rimmit1 min21:56
vpinonI'm not subscribed and wanted to see opinions here21:57
vpinonthanks!21:57
sick_rimmitkubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com21:57
sick_rimmitPersonally I think Kdenlive is ACE, I made all the videos on my YouTube channel with it21:58
sick_rimmitI have on the road map, for a demo / review on the Kubuntu Podcast some time later this year21:58
sick_rimmitWhere I plan to show folks how to get started doing simple stuff with it21:58
vpinonthanks for compliments (should transmit to JB;) ) and for communication21:59
vpinonPlease use & advise 16.04 ;)21:59
sick_rimmitYes, and please mention to JB that if he or one of the Kdenlive community would like to come onto the Podcast and talk about it with us, we be really happy about that22:00
vpinonHow does this work? (sorry never watched one /o\ )22:00
vpinonJB plans to go to RandaMeetings, maybe have a session there with other contributors ?22:01
sick_rimmitEither Google Hangouts, or we have a Big Blue Button video conference server where we run the show from22:01
sick_rimmitcheck out kubuntu.org/news BigBlurButton article22:01
sick_rimmitWe're having an online party in BBB on 15th April too22:02
sick_rimmitthose details are on the website22:02
* sick_rimmit knows not what RandMeetings are22:02
vpinonYes I've seen the BBB & party post22:03
sick_rimmitPerfect :-D22:03
vpinonRandaMeetings are organized by a fellow KDE events organizer22:03
vpinonin his village in Switzerland22:03
vpinonwith ~50 KDE contributors (the biggest KDE sprint yearly)22:04
sick_rimmitAh ha are they Physical meetings22:04
sick_rimmitOK.. that sounds great22:04
vpinonyes, sharing food, rooms etc!22:04
sick_rimmitHow many days is the meeting for22:05
vpinon1 week in June this year22:05
sick_rimmitOh cool, well I am sure JB and Kdenlive will be really well received22:06
sick_rimmitIt would be worth checking out FLOSS Weekly podcast22:07
sick_rimmitThis has loads of listeners, part of the TWIT Network22:07
sick_rimmithave you heard of it ?22:07
vpinonno, I'm not so much connected ;)22:09
sick_rimmitAh well google it, and go to their web page, there is info on how to get on the show22:10
sick_rimmitIt's really very easy22:10
sick_rimmitYou'll get a 45 minute interview with Randall Schwartz, author of Learning Pearl22:10
sick_rimmitand it would be such good PR fo Kdenlive22:10
vpinonOK, thanks for the advice!22:14
sick_rimmitmost welcome22:14
vpinonyour podcast could be a good warming up?22:15
sick_rimmitI will look into get 16.04 packaged,22:15
sick_rimmitYes you'd be most welcome on the Podcast, drop back in here and catch me ovidiu-florin or ahoneybun22:15
