OvenWerksdownloading iso.00:11
zequenceautumna: Not bad. Though, it would be nice to be able to include the main menu bar in that.00:30
zequenceCouldn't keep away. Had to try the ISO00:30
autumnahahah00:31
autumnaI am still awake00:31
autumnaand I actually found another addon that while doesn't do wider pages, is a lot better00:31
autumna(and less hacky)00:31
autumnahttp://autumna.zequence.net/?page_id=16&forge_builder00:31
autumnaerr00:31
autumnathat is the wrong link00:31
autumnahttp://autumna.zequence.net/?page_id=1600:31
zequenceautumna: Did you publish the page yet?00:34
autumnaI thought I did00:35
autumnaI am going to disable the other plugin and try again, I think they might be breaking each other00:35
autumnatry again00:37
autumnathe previous plugin was breaking this one00:37
autumnaoh god ok 00:38
autumnaI think there is a cautionary tale somewhere here about not doing things when one should be sleeping: http://autumna.zequence.net/feature-tour-2/00:38
autumna3rd time is the charm (I hope)00:38
zequenceautumna: Ok, but this one is only customized within the content area00:42
autumnayeah.... but.. it allows you to put css classes into things. (well theorically it also allows you to put page wide css, but that is not working)00:42
zequenceI think it would be great if we could keep the panel, but everything below was customizable. That for me would be the ultimate solution00:42
zequenceok00:43
autumnaone thing we CAN do is that00:43
autumnawe can have a customized template and this (if all else fails)00:43
autumnaI doubt that will work through actually00:43
autumna*facepalm*00:48
zequenceThere are more choices now, so that's good00:50
autumnazequence: I think, from their documentation, that if we create a simple theme with 100% width of page content, we can use it, to modify the second plugin01:05
autumnahttp://cpothemes.com/docs/customize-page-templates01:05
autumnatheme -> template01:05
cubDo we get to name the isos ourselves? As I often download several different distros during testing and ubuntu studio is called "xenial-dvd-amd64.iso" it doesn't stand out as "ubuntu-studio"05:34
cubHmm the others are not better either. Most is called xenial-desktop without really specifying which flavour it is05:36
krytarikcub: Yup, that's the fun part of dealing with the dailies. :P05:40
cubhehe05:42
cubbut aren't they named by a script?05:42
cubnot that it is a major issue but if the solution is easy05:42
cubat least we can differentiate Ubuntu Studio as it seems to be the only one named -dvd- compared to -desktop- or -server- :P05:43
krytarikOnly current one anyway, yes - Edubuntu was too.05:45
krytarikAnd I'd not think "easy" would cut it at that.05:45
flocculantcub: can't say that's ever caused me an issue - I end up with dailies from most flavours at some point - I use something called folders to keep them seperate :D06:37
flocculantzequence: thanks for the thanks :)06:37
cubWorked like charm to choose "Install Ubuntu Studio" directly now. 07:59
sakrecoerautumna: nice :) i think i prefere knome's head menu coloring, more accurate on a "corporateID" level. i look forwad to see it with full width, the frameing is what i am hopeing to escape really. not only because of taste, but also conceptualy: we are shipping tools for creatives, we should not frame creativity :)08:54
sakrecoerthe paragraph text-size and line-height is perfect! easy on the eye and good size08:55
sakrecoerthe woodmark, probably we should have a picture. the letter-spacing is off and i think that spacing may differ from browser to browser08:56
sakrecoerThis said, to have to menu on that page is probably an excellent thing.08:57
sakrecoeroh, and the frameing thing, i'm just talking about the feature tour. the rest of pages should defenitly be framed. we want the about and the news to be reassuring08:58
sakrecoergood news with the iso09:04
autumnasakrecoer: that was me getting a bit sidetracked :) I'll try something more subtle later10:33
knomeautumna, i still don't understand why you need to change the theme, even subtly10:34
autumnaknome sakrecoer and zequence said that they want to keep the exact same shade of blue, but blue on white is a bit hard to read. I am looking to see if there is a way to use that color but have more contrast behind text. 10:36
autumnaand morning10:36
autumnaok actually let me switch the header back for now so that we can see what we are dealing with as overall feature tour layout10:39
knomeif you apply a shade, it's not the same blue anyway either, right?10:39
knomeif you wanted to improve legibility, i would rather try some text-shadow10:40
autumnaknome: I find it easier to change transparency to find that color, rather than copy the colors to gimp, change opacity there, get the combined color and copy it there each time. if we did a flat color I never intended to keep transparency on. :)10:43
autumnabut text shadow is a great idea10:43
autumnalet me try that10:44
autumnahttp://autumna.zequence.net/11:02
autumnaok text-shadow it is unless anyone has an objection11:03
sakrecoerautumna: shadow looks great!11:10
autumna:)11:10
sakrecoerautumna: in an early stage i prefere side tracking going too far.11:10
autumnathanks to knome for the idea. there :) 11:11
sakrecoerits easier to come back to a given point11:11
sakrecoerthan to speculate about how it could have been with an extra mile11:11
autumnasakrecoer: exactly, that is also why I like having my own stage. we can compare and see where we begun more easily11:11
autumnaI am going to try to create a wide template. try being an operative word here.. I THINK I know how to create a custom page. I THINK11:12
sakrecoer'keeping it simple' might be usefull complementary sentence to that :) (at least i often need to remind it to myself:D)11:17
zequenceautumna: Huge difference with the text shadow, all though very subtle11:33
autumnazequence: yes! also... 11:33
autumnahttp://autumna.zequence.net/feature-tour-2/ WIP wide page template with the second plugin11:34
zequenceautumna: Alright. There is a problem graphically when mixing dark colors with the grey, so not sure what is the best approach there11:37
zequenceWhite background solves a lot of problems, but I would hate to give up the idea of a dark theme11:38
autumnawell, for the feature page at least11:38
autumnaI assume that the background will not be seen at all11:38
zequenceIf that, then yes, that would work11:39
autumnaI am trying to lose the title area11:39
zequenceRight11:40
autumnaknome mentioned using "body" ID and referring everything inside that way but I am not exactly sure of the syntax for referring that way. 11:40
zequenceI haven't looked into that yet, but would need to be a custom page11:41
zequenceI might not be doing any code for a few days now, so I can't be of much help11:42
autumnaI have a custom page11:42
autumnaI am just not sure of the css syntax. *tries*11:43
zequenceautumna: I suppose a good way is to create a new css for that file, which inherits the other stuff, and just change some of the things11:46
autumnaactually...11:46
autumnaI just did the whole thing inside the same css. this goes into the easier than expected category11:47
autumna:)11:47
zequencenice11:47
autumnahttp://autumna.zequence.net/feature-tour-2/11:49
autumnaI think (assuming our request for plugin gets accepted) we found our solution11:50
sakrecoerautumna: \o/ 12:05
sakrecoerit breaks on mobile.. but we can look into that later.12:05
zequencesakrecoer: Does it?12:05
zequenceThe image doesn't resize12:06
sakrecoeryeah, 'ubuntustudio' gets out of frame..12:06
zequenceYep12:06
sakrecoerand the image yes..12:06
zequenceNeed some image css in there, like what is in the community-theme12:06
sakrecoerjust a matter of giving it an @media for smaller windows..12:06
zequenceautumna: So, you did the content from WP. The images and the text?12:07
autumnayes12:07
zequenceCool12:07
sakrecoeryou rock autumna \o/12:07
autumnahey I am not the person who wrote the plugin12:07
autumna;)12:07
autumnajust found it that's all12:07
zequenceTo find it is almost as great a feat as coding it12:08
autumna:)12:08
sakrecoerno but your the person who put down the effort12:08
autumna:)12:08
sakrecoeri hope to have the texts and icons finished this afternoon.. 12:09
autumnaI need to eat some lunch, ut after that I'll try to see if I can get the same setup happening on the main stage12:09
autumnathat way we can all work on it12:09
sakrecoerguten apetit!12:10
autumnaor at least you can sakrecoer. :) 12:10
autumnathanks :D12:10
sakrecoeri can haz what?12:10
autumnayou can put your feature tour content in, rather than doing 2 jobs12:11
sakrecoerok :) thought you wanted me to set that template on the main thing..12:11
autumnaI am going to upload the template to main stage, also to make sure nothing is breaking. because my installation is kind of broken right now12:12
sakrecoeraight! until then, then :)12:12
cubI prefer flat design over text-shadow...but I'm a bit late to the party.12:13
autumnacub I was hoping that it wasn't obvious there was a text shadow there. its just there to improve the readability, but always open to alternative ideas. 12:14
sakrecoercub, your not late. if you have better idea on how to keep the color scheme while having contrast, please share :)12:15
cubNo I think it was fine before so. :)12:15
autumnawell I'll go with what everyone agrees with12:17
zequenceI feel like it was an improvement, but perhaps one can try mildening it just a notch.12:20
zequenceBut, to me it doesn't seem probably anyone will notice it if not looking for it, as it is now12:20
zequenceAlmost like the sensation from looking into a bright light, you get a shadow in place of where the light was12:21
cubOn this computer it's quite noticable, like a Windows 95 bevel button. But on my laptop it might not be visible.12:21
zequenceOk12:21
zequenceYeah, screens make a difference12:21
zequenceI should try on one of our nicer screens at home12:21
zequenceDoes anyone here have a screen suitable for graphics work, anyway?12:22
cubNot really. Great monitors at work but not ones professional designer would use12:22
cuband noone (but me) does design work on a laptop screen.12:23
autumnaerrr12:24
autumna*raises hand*12:24
autumnaactually12:24
autumna(lets just say cub that you are not the only one)12:24
cubyup12:25
zequenceOk. So, cub, your screen wasn't bought from TV Shop then?12:25
zequenceAh, I misunderstood12:25
cubNope it was Webbhallen. :P12:25
cubSomething about the "preferred monitor for [insert CS player here]"12:26
zequenceWe have a saying among my friends, that if something is not what it was promised to be, it's TV Shop12:26
cubehhe12:26
* autumna needs to now figure out which of these css changes are the ones that needs to be committed. 12:28
cubI a bit confused about release, I thought it was tomorrow but Twitter seems to agree upon it's only "hours away"12:29
zequenceIt should be tomorrow, yes12:30
zequenceI suppose you could say it's only hours away, but so is the end of the universe, if you want to count it in hours12:30
zequenceAll releases happen on thursday12:31
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule12:31
cubthat's right12:31
zequenceMaybe something to do with the differing calendars of varying countries12:32
zequenceJust guessing12:32
cubWhere is it Tuhrsday first, Asia right?12:32
zequenceIn the middle of the Pacific12:33
zequenceBetween Asia and America, quite exactly12:33
zequencehttp://www.worldtimezone.com/12:34
zequenceAlready thursday in New Zeeland12:35
cubThere you go. So release today. ;)12:35
zequenceBut, no you're right. The eastern tip of Asia is correct12:35
zequenceBut, actually, it will be released in New Zeeland on friday12:37
zequenceUsually during afternoon, evening our time (17.00-20.00)12:38
zequenceUTC+1, that is12:38
cubyes every other time it's when it's morning in the US, which is about 1700 CEST12:38
zequenceOk, time to install on hardware :). Feels pretty solid so far.12:40
cubI was thinking that as well12:40
zequenceAnother gnome-software being released. Haven't looked at other packages, so there's a good chance there will be another respin before tomorrow12:56
cuboh12:57
autumnaactually somebody installed a plugin to main stage that functions better than the one I found. ;) 13:09
zequenceautumna: That might have been me13:10
zequenceI was trying something out very quickly, but didn't have the time, at the time13:11
autumnathe page editor you found is the one I was looking for actually, but somehow couldn't get through searching13:11
autumnait is much more stable, and doesn't break menu editing13:11
zequenceOne thing that concerns me a little bit is licenses. Haven't checked that at all yet13:12
zequenceSome of the addons are pretty commercial with a free variant13:13
zequenceThought I'd first just get a feel for what is out there13:13
zequenceWho else has installed on hardware with the latest ISO?13:38
zequenceThe only test result yet reported is with VirtualBox13:39
zequenceI can't boot from USB stick13:40
cubonly vbox here as well13:40
zequenceBut, it does work on VirtualBox13:40
cubso far13:40
zequenceGoing to change sticks and see if that helps13:41
zequenceTakes a while to make these. This is a usb3 stick though, should be faster13:44
zequenceOne hour so far. Two tries on the same stick, so about 30min to create it and try a boot13:45
zequenceIf anyone else could test on hardware, that would be really nice13:50
zequenceAt least do a live boot13:51
zequenceI'm going to try this other stick, and on two machines. If that fails, I need to create a stick on another machine to absolutely confirm, that either this thing is not booting, or I'm crazy13:51
OvenWerkslive boot on stick works here13:54
OvenWerksinstalling to partition... Past all the usual fail points13:55
zequenceOvenWerks: Ok. Just googled on the failure, and seems there are multiple possible causes13:55
zequenceOne being just some crappy problems with the filesystem13:55
zequenceSo, hopefully this stick will work13:55
zequenceHappy to know it's just me then13:56
zequenceThis stick has been through a few boots, so perhaps it's getting old and senile13:57
OvenWerkszequence: I have trouble with my front of case USB ports, I think because the case is old and the wiring from MB to plug may not be shielded right. I need to get a USB3 hub...13:58
zequenceOvenWerks: I see problems with that a lot, especially when kids are involved13:58
zequenceBut, only me is using these usb ports :). Could be they are getting worn, though13:59
autumnazequence: this one seems to be fully free, but I am not sure they are open source. :/13:59
zequenceautumna: PRetty sure it's all open source - since it's in php :)14:00
zequenceUnless it's possible to compile it - or something else that I don't know about14:01
zequenceSuccess! Finally!14:01
OvenWerks\o/14:02
autumnazequence: heh. point taken. but yeah the one you found doesn't seem to have a pro version? although I haven't checked it in depth14:02
zequenceautumna: That's good to hear14:02
zequenceWe don't seem to have a default background when choosing install, instead of trying the live version14:03
zequenceNot the end of the world, but a little bit broken14:03
OvenWerksreboot14:04
zequenceOvenWerks: You mean, it works for you?14:04
sakrecoeri see image magick remained in the menu. only one entry this time, but broken too14:31
sakrecoerphatch too14:32
sakrecoerzequence: i\m doing a hardware install now14:34
zequenceSeems like the window theming is not working14:35
zequenceI have adwaita theming again14:35
OvenWerks64 bit install boots up nice14:42
OvenWerksI don't remember what theme was there when I booted :)  I changed it to Moheli so window with focus is easily visible and so there is enough border for easy window resize.14:46
* OvenWerks is not suggesting his setup should be default 14:46
zequenceThink it would be/win5414:47
zequenceOops14:47
sakrecoerfresh isntall booted fine here. not sure i see what is up with the window theming?14:54
sakrecoer64-bit i tried..14:55
sakrecoerhave greybird enabled, was so in the liveISO boot too.. 14:56
zequenceWeird. Why is everything so weird here?14:58
sakrecoerOvenWerks: never tried moheli before. very close to daloa. the nameing suggest its from the same author14:59
sakrecoerzequence: i dont even have adwaita to chose..14:59
sakrecoer:D14:59
zequenceAh, no it's the default14:59
zequenceBut, it looks like Adwaita14:59
sakrecoerwhat package is settings in ?15:00
sakrecoerdisplay callibration is broken here...15:00
sakrecoerintersting, its seems to be "gcm-calibrate" if i can believe what is written in the menu item...15:24
sakrecoerbut ubunt-bug says "The problem cannot be reported: The report belongs to a package that is not installed."15:24
sakrecoeri can run gcm-calibrate in  cli, but it says "no device was specified" and man is very minimal about it15:26
sakrecoerhe.. actulay the man pages for gcm-calibrate are for gcm-import...15:27
OvenWerkssakrecoer: what does gcm-calibrate do? as in what does it calibrate?15:27
sakrecoerscreen colors15:27
sakrecoeri never used it tbh, but the icon is in settings, and it doesn't work15:28
sakrecoerin settings manager it is called "Display Calibration"15:28
sakrecoeri looked at it before, but i have no profile to use so never used it...15:28
OvenWerkssakrecoer: did you read the tooltip?15:29
sakrecoeraaah haha...15:29
* sakrecoer hides15:29
* OvenWerks put that tool tip in there15:29
OvenWerkssakrecoer: honestly, I don't think even that would work. We really need someone with a colorimeter to play with it and make it so it would work.15:31
OvenWerksrunning gcm-calibrate --help15:31
OvenWerks(which gives more info the the man page)15:31
OvenWerksthe usage looks like:15:32
OvenWerksgcm-calibrate [OPTION...] gnome-color-manager calibration tool15:32
OvenWerkswe don't have gnome-color-manager15:32
krytarikWe have.15:33
* OvenWerks instals synaptic15:33
sakrecoerkrytarik: we do? under another name?15:34
OvenWerkskrytarik: we do? typing gnome-<tab> does not show it.15:34
krytarikNope, that's part of the package.15:34
sakrecoerb-b-but? so how do i start it? :p15:35
OvenWerksYup, synaptic shows it as installed.15:35
OvenWerksgcm-calibrate /usr/lib/gnome-color-manager <device>?15:37
OvenWerkssakrecoer: this is meant to be run from gnome-settings15:38
OvenWerks/usr/lib/gnome-color-manager seems to be a directory15:39
sakrecoerok.. i don't really get it, i don't find gnome-settings :D but never mind, its probably not very important right now :) but thank you OvenWerks ! :)15:41
OvenWerkssakrecoer: we don't have gnome-settings, because we do have xfce-settings15:42
sakrecoerah :) of course, now i get it. thanks15:43
OvenWerkssakrecoer: in other words we should be looking for another app that doesn't need gnome.15:43
OvenWerkssakrecoer: dispcalgui?15:45
sakrecoerOvenWerks: maybe. i mean, you do need a calibration device in order to create a calibration-profilce (ICC i think it is called). So its probably working, but i don't have a callibration device to try it...15:46
zequence Opening Software, it's funny how all of the "Editor's picks" are all already installed :)15:46
zequenceAh, I haven't turned on the internet yet :)15:46
sakrecoerchatting from your brainwaves zequence ? :D15:47
zequencesakrecoer: No, just commenting on the applicaton "Software"15:47
zequenceOne, that probably few of us uses15:48
sakrecoer:) i was reffering to "I haven't turned on the internet yet" :D15:48
zequenceStrictly speaking, I hadn't15:48
OvenWerkszequence: try using it to install libjack-dev15:49
OvenWerkssee if it warns you that it is removing most of your audio SW15:49
zequenceOvenWerks: Isn't it always going to anyway15:50
zequence?15:50
OvenWerkszequence: To a new user who is trying to build something it could be a disaster.15:50
zequenceSoftware is doing stuff in the background, somehow, as compared to Ubuntu Software Center15:51
OvenWerksif the installer doesn't warn you about what it is removing15:51
zequenceOvenWerks: Well, that's in packaging, is it not?15:51
OvenWerksUSC doesn't tell you what it is doing15:51
zequenceIt doesn't?15:51
OvenWerksJust progress line15:51
OvenWerkszequence: I guess we added libjack-jackd2-dev to the seeds so it shouldn't be a problem.15:52
zequenceOk, let's find out!15:53
sakrecoerhmm.. yeah, software is strange... it suddenly changed the layout. i had synaptic as 1st entry in "editor choice".. and *pof* all gone but scribus and a bunch of category buttons15:53
zequenceUbuntu Software Center always had one major bug - it didn't update apt. If you didn't update a lot, it would not install some packages15:53
OvenWerkszequence: I guess I didn't use it enough to notice :)15:54
sakrecoerhehe... pressing the category buttons give me empty screen... it defaults to "featured" but there is nothing featured :D15:54
sakrecoerah piding is featured, in "internet"15:54
zequenceRosco2: Hi. Looking pretty well so far with the latest ISO?15:55
Rosco2Just looked at the tracker - and yes15:55
Rosco2Haven't started myself15:56
Rosco2I left my machines doing an upgrade from Wily & trusty this morning15:56
zequenceRosco2: I saw some new package uploads before, so could be we have another respin coming though15:56
OvenWerkssakrecoer: I would suggest removing gcm-calibrate and adding DisplayCAL (dispcalgui) for next cycle.15:56
Rosco2Looks like the upgrade issue was fixed15:56
sakrecoerOvenWerks: i take note of that. we should perhaps ask arround a bit before we decide, it would be nice if at least one person with an actual callibration device could feed back on that..15:57
OvenWerkssakrecoer: I don't know how well it works with a real colorimeter, but at least it opens :)15:57
OvenWerkssakrecoer: we may as well remove gcm-calibrate anyway. It seems from what I have read so far it is not usable.15:58
zequenceRosco2: Oh, cool. So, maybe it is viable then? I'll give it a go tonight16:00
sakrecoerhi Rosco2 ! :)16:00
sakrecoeri'll give a spin on upgrade later tonight also... until when can we do these tests?16:01
sakrecoeroh yay \o/ the parole controles are back in the indicator <316:01
sakrecoer(gold while blendering:p)16:02
Rosco2I suppose tomorrow they will want us to mark the tracker as ready16:04
Rosco2As early as possible16:04
sakrecoerperfect! gives me time to test ffado later tonight16:05
Rosco2I will take the afternoon off work16:05
sakrecoer:) nice16:05
Rosco2Always nice to work on Ubuntu instead of what my boss wnats :-)16:05
* sakrecoer high5's Rosco2 !16:06
sakrecoeragreed :D16:06
sakrecoeri don't understand gnome software... i have pressed the button on the top "available", yet i get nothing but the software i have installed...16:10
OvenWerkssakrecoer: perhaps asking users to test display calibration... or what do you use (with list of packages to try) Not sure where to ask, maybe same places as the call for backdrops?16:10
sakrecoeroh.. is that what you ment by "not enabled internet" zequence ?16:10
sakrecoerOvenWerks: good idea, could ask on all social networks realy...16:11
cubI saw that all test for 64 bit was done. I'm downloading i386 to do an HW installation later this evening16:12
OvenWerksin Software I get Synaptic, notes, HuginBatch, code blocks, Cairo dock, Virtual box and terminator.16:12
sakrecoerOvenWerks: i got those a breif moment first start...16:13
sakrecoerbut they vanished under my eyes..16:13
sakrecoerdon't know how to get them back..16:13
* OvenWerks installs cairo dock16:13
sakrecoersearching for synaptic gives me no result..16:14
OvenWerkssakrecoer: right, going back from the install page just gives me scribus16:14
OvenWerkssakrecoer: going to system->all just gives what is already installed16:15
zequenceOvenWerks: Coming back to what things you can install with Software - only stuff that has .desktop files, basically - from what I can see16:17
OvenWerkszequence: makes sense16:17
OvenWerkssudo apt-get update and then software works again.16:19
sakrecoerOvenWerks: didn't work for me (sudo apt-get update16:20
sakrecoerwait i did sudp apt update...16:20
OvenWerkssakrecoer: did you exit software first?16:20
zequenceI didn't do that - I just waited a while16:20
sakrecoeryupp16:20
zequenceSoftware does an update by itself16:21
sakrecoernope, didn't work-..16:21
sakrecoera reboot did it..16:21
sakrecoerbut as soon as i leave the first page, i can't find a way back16:21
zequenceJust takes a certain amount of time, I would think16:21
sakrecoerall i get is software that is already installed16:21
zequence"All"?16:21
* OvenWerks installs Hardware Lister16:22
sakrecoerzequence: yeah..16:22
sakrecoeroh... now i restarted it again but using the "quit" entry from the menu and everything is back...16:23
OvenWerksharder lister not worth the install16:23
zequenceSoftware was getting an update today already16:24
zequenceCould be getting more updates after release, quite probably16:25
zequenceor, gnome-software, as the package is called16:25
zequenceI heard the Canonical folks wanted to rename it16:25
zequenceIt16:25
zequenceThink it's called "Ubuntu Software" in Unity, and they wanted also to rename the package16:26
zequenceDetails...16:26
sakrecoerthe fonts are displaying oddly in software manager.. they have a colored edge like when there is a missmatch of rgb alignment16:26
zequenceSoftware Manager?16:26
sakrecoersorry. gnome software16:27
zequenceThink it's either gnome-software, or "Software" :)16:27
zequenceBut, in Ubuntu, it may also be "Ubuntu Software"16:27
zequenceSince everyone seems to be using it now, it should mature and get some nice features and bug fixes along the way16:28
sakrecoerodd, someone left a great review on phatch in march this year, claiming drag and drop works perfect..16:28
zequenceSuch a lier?!16:28
sakrecoerheheh :D16:28
sakrecoerwell i for one whish i had the same success16:29
zequenceSorry 16:29
zequenceLiar!?16:29
sakrecoerall he writes was true, when it worked :D maybe i'm unlucky but i think OvenWerks and Rosco2 tested it too...16:30
zequenceI just like it when things don't match the way it was planned. And, it so often does not!16:31
OvenWerkssakrecoer: Dnd of what where?16:31
sakrecoerOvenWerks: PHatCH16:31
sakrecoernow i have the big eye floating on my screen and i can't remember the name to use for killall :D16:32
sakrecoerah, "phatch" :facepalm:16:32
* OvenWerks just added Application Menu to his panel... whisker=fail16:34
zequenceYou guys run Ubuntu Studio for 5mins, and it just crashes and burns?16:34
sakrecoer:D16:35
OvenWerksno crash and burn.16:35
OvenWerkswhisker cuts off the item descriptions if they are too long. The ones that are long are often that way because there are two entries with the first part the same16:36
sakrecoergnome software got weird again16:39
sakrecoerit doesn't like to be shut down from the window X16:40
OvenWerksYa, phatch image inspector doesn't deal with DnD here either any more. It accepts the filename, and clears it's window title, but then goes into wait forever.16:41
OvenWerkssoftware works ok here, (closed by x, closed by exit)16:41
sakrecoerOvenWerks: i don't think that is what makes it go bananas, but once it got bananas, quiting it from the menu seems to fix it16:42
sakrecoerit's like it loses contact with internet or something16:43
OvenWerkssakrecoer: that is a possibility.... but inmo shows bad SW design16:45
sakrecoeryeah... when i go into update, press the litle circular refresh button, then when i go back to "All" the entries dissapear one after the other ...16:45
sakrecoeryeah... third time i reproduce it now..16:46
sakrecoerthen if i close it with the window button, it wont come back, but closing it with "quit" in menu, fixes it16:47
sakrecoeri should file a bug repport...16:47
* OvenWerks considers both USC and software bad design anyway...16:47
zequenceMaybe the design idea is sound, but the implementation still needs to be fixed?16:47
zequenceIt's not for server admins, after all16:47
sakrecoerzequence: porbably. it does look good...16:47
OvenWerkszequence: anything that fails with network speed or wobble is a bod design.16:48
OvenWerks*bad16:48
OvenWerkstest for internet connect, show stuff, when asked to install, test net again, if goood install.16:49
* sakrecoer thinks what OvenWerks means by design is what zequence means by implementation16:49
zequenceOvenWerks: But, there's cache too16:49
zequenceThe apt cache, I mean16:49
zequenceBefore it has internat at all, it will only show the installed packages, nothing else16:50
OvenWerkszequence: it seems they are monitoring the network all the time.16:50
sakrecoerzequence: but it starts fine with apps that aren't installed, then after "update" it removes all apps that aren't installed yet16:50
OvenWerksmaybe even have an open connection to some server.16:50
zequencesakrecoer: Did you install without internet connection?16:51
zequenceThat is what I did16:51
zequenceBut, if update removes all apps from it's cache, then that would be weird16:51
zequenceOr, it creates its own cache based on the apt cache each time16:52
zequenceSeems like there's a lot of stress and activity going with the release side of things16:53
OvenWerksanyway, another reboot to make sure alsa restores16:53
zequenceAnd, gnome-software is getting an update. What I don't know16:53
* OvenWerks still likes cairo dock.... even if it is more candy than help :)16:55
zequenceI used it a lot about 4-5 years ago16:55
zequenceHaven't tried it since. Went over to Go Docker, or whatever it was called16:55
zequenceBut, since Gnome3, I haven't done any customization whatsoever16:56
sakrecoerbug #157266916:56
ubottubug 1572669 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "after pressing the refresh icon in "udpates", all available software dissapear except the ones already installed" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157266916:56
sakrecoerzequence: i installed with internet connection16:56
zequencesakrecoer: Well, seems to be of no matter, since it does that also in between apt updates16:57
OvenWerksalsa remembers setting from boot to boot.16:57
sakrecoerwow... gnome-software --verbose :)16:58
zequencesakrecoer: Ah, the mafia method. Making it talk!16:58
zequenceOur packages -sounds and -screensaver were just removed from the archive16:59
OvenWerkszequence: That sounds like a good thing ???17:00
sakrecoerverbose gives "Gs-DEBUG: app invalid as kind unknown" on EVERY app :D17:00
zequenceOvenWerks: Yes, it was planned. Ross created the two bugs that did it17:01
zequenceNo one were using them, or maintaining them17:02
sakrecoerhahaha!! "mafia method" 17:02
OvenWerkssakrecoer: it appears it tries to do a background update every once in a while that fails because it has a bad enetry in polkit17:05
OvenWerks(not registered)17:05
sakrecoerye, they are probably still furbishing it :)17:05
zequenceOvenWerks: Maybe that's the upcoming update?17:05
OvenWerksPossible.17:06
sakrecoerhope so :) 17:06
sakrecoeron a happy note, i'm super impressed with what has happened to "my paint"..17:06
OvenWerksOk, plugging in a USB stick pops up a file manager window... we used to disable stuff like that. (can cause trouble if you happen to recording at the time.)17:07
sakrecoerOvenWerks: taking note of that too OvenWerks 17:09
OvenWerkskilling software after starting it from the terminal... the window vanishes, but the terminal does not show it exited17:10
OvenWerksgnome software continues to run in the background. That is also not acceptable for low latency work.17:10
OvenWerkssakrecoer: ^^^ that may be why stopping and starting don't make much difference17:12
zequenceSince we're syncing with Xubuntu, that is just the way things are right now17:12
zequenceSOmeone needs to take command of maintaining our own DE setup, if we want our own stuff17:13
zequenceThere's much to do there, not just adding a few fixes now and then17:13
OvenWerksRight.17:13
zequenceWe could even have a DE lead17:14
zequenceFor us, that makes a lot more sense than for any other distro17:14
zequence..since most of them are dealing mostly with that17:15
zequenceOvenWerks: Might perhaps suit you?17:16
zequenceJust thinking out loud - but you are one who does put most focus on that, from a functional POW17:17
zequenceI'm not assigning any leads right now anyway - I just quit!17:17
zequenceBut, just as an idea17:18
Rosco2:-)17:19
sakrecoerI was thinking i wanted to learn how to make desktop themes this summer...17:19
zequencesakrecoer: That's just for the look of things. Pretty sure Len's less interested in that part17:20
zequenceHe does care more about how different process interact and how they may mess up your daily work, if you care about low latency17:21
zequenceAlso, he does care about the graphics stuff, but more from the view - does it work or not17:21
sakrecoer:) that would make us copmlementary. but we'll see.. i have to be carfeull right now about what i get invested in, since i'm going to have a new jobb soon (hopefully)17:22
sakrecoeri mean, a part from PL stuff...17:23
sakrecoeranyways, with a little luck autumna will stick arround for a while and might be interested in the graphic look of things :)17:23
sakrecoeri believe cub is happy with those things too, although not sure he will have more time this cycle17:24
sakrecoerguess i'm boiling down to: "yes, it would be nice with our own DE, unless we go DE-agnostic"17:25
zequenceI'm not so much talking about the look of it, just that it works17:29
zequencethe look is something that the art department should do, anyway17:29
zequenceI do believe Len is usually looking out for the audio side of things, and that could break things for other users in some cases17:33
zequenceSo, before we Desktop Agnostic, that would be a bad thing17:33
zequenceBut, I'm sure he can work from a generic POW as well? Anyway, just me thinking loud.17:34
OvenWerksI have (in the past - with menus for example) tested things on more than one DE.17:35
Rosco2Some of the things we need to tweak for low latency apply on any DE17:38
zequenceYes, that is true. But, some things can't be changed on a full DE install, like Unity, or Gnome17:39
zequenceWe do have our own swappiness, and the audio group thing set for the first user17:40
OvenWerksBug #157268117:56
ubottubug 1572681 in ardour (Ubuntu) "Ardour compiled with wiimote support which is broken." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157268117:56
OvenWerksNot a show stopper for sure, but if anyone is ever dealing with a user trying to use a wiimote to control Ardour... it won't work.17:57
OvenWerksThough midikb can be used to make it workable  :)17:58
zequenceSounds like a nice SRU fix later on for who ever wants to do it :)18:02
OvenWerksdmesg is in pretty colours now18:08
OvenWerksprinting 32bit ISO to USB18:09
sakrecoerwhile working on the new website, for this release, we just update this page: http://ubuntustudio.org/download/ right?18:12
OvenWerksreboot18:19
Rosco2sakrecoer, there is a sort of a checklist here18:20
Rosco2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/DevEvents/Release18:20
sakrecoerthanks Rosco2 !18:20
OvenWerks32 bit live session is ok18:27
OvenWerks32 bit installing ok so far18:27
autumna*tries to catch up to the backlog*18:29
OvenWerksreboot, 32 bit installed18:37
autumnasakrecoer yes I would definitely be happy to contribute to graphic side of things18:43
autumna*has totally tweaked her own custom window decorations*18:43
autumnaSakrecoer: btw I might have said this 3 hours ago too so apologies if this is double. I did manually copy the website tweaks in (I haven't committed them to git because still didn't learn that much git *chuckles*) and we do have necessary plugins to edit, you can start piling what you have into the feature tour page, or you can send them to the mailing list or something and I can put them in for you. Either way after we put the co18:49
OvenWerksgnome-software update available.18:52
OvenWerksgnome-software is still wonky. I think it does stuff in the background with out telling the user it is busy.18:58
OvenWerksanyway, 32 bit marked as passed19:00
OvenWerksI think gnome-software in ubuntu is different from upstream as it installs snap packages. (paid for SW)19:02
sakrecoerwell... good thing you bring it up, i got all caught up in testing so i haven't written a line yet :|19:02
sakrecoeri'll write it as a draft in the main site tho (ubuntustudio.org)19:03
sakrecoerOvenWerks: hehe... gnome-software update will not show up in gnome-software upon refreshing :D19:04
OvenWerkssnap allows a dev to build and package sw in 16.01 and have it still work in 20.10 :P19:04
OvenWerksin other words people who want to paid for their work also do not want to keep the sw up to date19:05
sakrecoerOvenWerks: i'll take that for granted when i see it in 2020 :D19:05
* sakrecoer whips himself a little and logs off to write something for the release party19:07
* OvenWerks goes back to 14.04 to get some "work" done.19:08
cubJust ran an installation of i386 on hw as well. confirmed the bugs OvenWerks had listed19:28
cubotherwise it went fine19:28
cubI was thinking about looking into creating desktop themes during summer...that was years ago. Maybe next summer...;)19:33
autumnacub: how about we will encourage each other to actually sit down and do it? 19:49
Rosco2so we have a respin!!20:30
sakrecoerautumna: can you login to http://ubuntustudio.org/wp-admin ?20:33
autumnayes..20:33
autumnaor was able to 10 min ago20:33
autumnawait no20:34
sakrecoeryou should find drafts in there you can use while its being finnished.20:34
autumnathat's the stage. 20:34
autumnalet me see if I can login20:34
sakrecoerok, then i'l mail it to you as soon as i get home...20:34
sakrecoeryes try, i think you should be able being in the website team20:34
autumnayes I can login here20:35
autumnasorry my brain was completely elsewhere. 20:35
sakrecoer\o/20:35
flocculantRosco2: I just a mail saying your build failed? 20:45
OvenWerksyes it looks like there was another spin... that failed. I guess that means more testing/late release?21:12
zequenceOvenWerks: There was a late upload or something that borked it21:13
zequenceThey will do another respin soon21:13
Rosco2Walk away for a while and what happens?22:11
zequenceRosco2: Build failures and more respins?22:12
zequenceNew ones on the way in abuot 40min, perhaps22:13
zequencehttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/xenial/ubuntustudio22:13
zequenceProbably more before they are published. Not sure22:13
zequenceThey are having quite party at the -release channel22:14
sakrecoerhmm... intalled along side but grub didn't do its job.22:24
zequencesakrecoer: What kind of problem?22:24
sakrecoerno entry for the new install the grub menu22:24
sakrecoeri''l try reboot a third time22:25
zequencesakrecoer: Sure you installed GRUB into the right drive?22:25
zequenceOr, did you do a manual installation22:26
zequenceI mean, "or did you do automatic partitioning"22:26
sakrecoeri think i did automatic partitioning..22:27
sakrecoerin ubiquity, i picked "install along side 14.04"22:27
flocculantsakrecoer: can I just say that atm the installer is a bit broke - best to wait till respins spin22:29
sakrecoerok :) 22:29
sakrecoerthanks flocculant !22:29
sakrecoerit worked fine last time, but i guess i got less lucky this time22:29
flocculantand then let you know that by ~4pm they'll want some smoketests done and someone to tick the box22:29
flocculantnot thanking me now ... 22:30
sakrecoer..for the info :)22:30
sakrecoer4pm... UTC?22:30
flocculantalways UTC22:31
sakrecoer:)22:31
flocculantand guessing22:31
flocculantand care about Xubuntu at that point :)22:31
flocculantalways about - but studio is 2nd for me ;)22:32
zequenceThere have been a couple of times where the testing was saved by non Ubuntu Studio members, such as flocculant 22:32
flocculantzequence: :)22:33
flocculantwell - I'd much prefer you had a smaller download :p 22:33
zequencelol, yes22:33
zequenceI remember once I was really stressed, at work, downloads took time, and then did an install on a usb stick, but it was only 8GB!!!!22:34
zequenceStudio needs a bit more to just be able to install :D22:34
flocculantha ha ha 22:34
flocculantI try to \zsync a few times pre panic22:35
flocculantsakrecoer: good luck :)22:35
zequenceI didn't have any good medium to install to. Don't remember my VirtualBox situation at the time, but that's always a choice of course22:35
zequenceWell, a devent one at least22:35
flocculantespecially when that Xubuntu QA bloke's running the milestone22:35
flocculanthe's nasty :D22:36

* flocculant is refusing - will look tomorrow 22:38
