autumnalol00:16
autumnaI'll start copy pasting this up to the feature tour00:18
autumnado you have any graphics (background or foreground yet?)00:20
sakrecoeryeah, yo used one already i think, here is for audio: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/tour/assets/img/audio/ubuntustudio-mixer.png00:21
sakrecoerhere is for video: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/tour/assets/img/video/ubuntustudio-ayo.png00:21
sakrecoergraphics i'm not quite sure...00:21
sakrecoerautumna: i mean he graphics workflow00:23
sakrecoerbut for the foreground, i used moka icon theme: https://code.launchpad.net/~moka/mokaproject/moka-icon-theme00:24
autumnado we have licenses for the backgrounds?00:25
sakrecoer99% sure, they are ubuntustudio wallapaper00:25
autumnaok00:26
sakrecoermoka icon theme is creative common 4.000:28
sakrecoerso if we use them we need to write it somewhere...00:29
sakrecoerhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ 00:30
autumnawe might replace the backgrounds if need be just trying to keep track of everything00:30
sakrecoerautumna: well it seems we will use the good ol site for this release, so there is still plenty of time for that. :)00:38
autumnayup :)00:38
autumnawell it is probably not a good idea to try to change the site right when everyone is trying to reach it anyway :P00:38
sakrecoerif you have any idea for illustrating the graphics in a background friendly way, be my guest. i'm facing void with it somehow...00:39
sakrecoergood point hehe..00:40
OvenWerksdownloading 32 bit00:45
OvenWerksonly %6 to download00:47
autumnasakrecoer if I have time I might even poke at the possibility of animated background for first bit01:19
autumnahttp://www.ubuntustudio.zequence.net/feature-test/ feel free to pile stuff in. there is ways to make columns. 01:19
autumnaand I am off for the night. gnight everyone01:20
OvenWerksgnome-software seems to have been fixed02:25
OvenWerks32 bit tested ok (from what I can tell)02:25
OvenWerksStill have 64bit to test.02:26
OvenWerksI have done as much testing as I could on both ISOs. I have not done upgrade testing.03:11
OvenWerksIt appears that the big change was gnome-software in the last spin.03:11
OvenWerksIf no one else has time for testing, they can be marked ready.03:12
OvenWerksThe two things I can comment on... plymouth doesn't show at all on boot once installed, but does on shutdown. That is probably ok, it does show when booting the ISO which is when the first impression is made.03:19
OvenWerksAnyone else have dual screens? Grub is funny on dual screens. The computer boots in "mirror" mode and so the grub menu is on both screens. When using the down key to go through the menu one monitor is ahead of the other. That is, one down press, right monitor moves to second item, second press right monitor moves to third item left monitor moves to second.03:23
OvenWerksI think my right is primary.03:23
OvenWerksIs it just me?03:23
krytarikOvenWerks: I found this one anyway - and no bug report yet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/710922/grub2-boot-menus-out-of-sync-on-dual-monitors04:10
OvenWerkskrytarik: It is funny how I never noticed it before. I eyes are drawn to the first monitor to display the menu (there is quite a long lag a that point) and so I have never looked at the second monitor.04:19
OvenWerksI will wait till I have done my final 16.04 install before doing the bug report. I still use the grub from 14.04 to boot... this is possibly fixed since.04:22
sakrecoerOvenWerks: that would explain why it failed on my dual screen.08:09
sakrecoerzsyncing in a minute08:10
sakrecoerOvenWerks: my grub failed completly tho. menu has no entry for the new install08:14
sakrecoeri havent' installed on that machine since i got the second screen08:15
sakrecoerautumna: that looks superb!!!08:43
sakrecoerautumna: on my wide screen, the first image doesn't fill up and repeats, but it is a detail.08:45
sakrecoeraldo morning all.08:45
sakrecoer*also08:45
cubsakrecoer: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/featuretour.txt, just a few misspellings, "Virutal Instruments", "Ubuntustudio"09:58

zequenceIs it UEFI, or old BIOS?11:04

zequenceNo, you can make as many as you wish. If it's a critical fail, it's a critical fail11:04
sakrecoerwell... on my mb i can chose11:04
zequenceRight, but you are using legacy?11:05
sakrecoeryes11:05
sakrecoercan't repport the grub bug with ubuntu-bug, what files/logs are needed? i can acces the partition of 16.04 from the 14.04 install...11:06
sakrecoerzequence: is it grub or grub2 that is in use on 16.04?11:10
sakrecoergrub2 ok...11:11
zequencesakrecoer: If you can't boot into it, it's a little hard to use ubuntu-bug. Could be possible to chroot into that system though11:18
sakrecoerbug #157297111:19
zequenceAnd, perhaps the install logs would be interesting to see, if they are still in /var somewhere11:19
ubottubug 1572971 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "grub2 failing to create grub menu (and possibly corrupting the boot-drive)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157297111:19
sakrecoerjust made a checksum to be certain, and my iso file is all good :(11:20
sakrecoeri think i'll try install and reformat. jsut finished the backup... touching wood11:20
sakrecoerzsync does the checksum automagicaly anyways, right?11:36
zequencesakrecoer: It has failed me at one or two times in the past. Not sure exactly what it does11:38
zequenceI had to do another zsync, and then it worked11:38
sakrecoerok.. hmm.. but the md5sum gave me correct output, so that can't be the problem right?11:40
zequenceNo, then it should be good11:41
sakrecoeri hope it was the last iso that corrupted my boot-drive..11:41
sakrecoerand that reformating everything will make everything good :)11:41
sakrecoerin process right now... 11:42
sakrecoerif not i will aslo try to just unplugg one screen... if the fault remains, then it has to be something fishy with nvidia drivers11:43
zequencenvidia drivers won't affect GRUB11:43
zequenceNOthing will, except the installer, pretty much11:43
zequenceFrom what I understand, you were just lacking the sections in GRUB for your new installation11:44
zequenceThat usually means GRUB was not installed into the MBR, but somewhere else11:44
sakrecoeryes11:44
zequenceSo, the word corruption is highly speculative at this point11:44
sakrecoeri mentioned that in the bug repport actualy11:45
sakrecoerput it into parenthesis and added "Boots straight into 14.04 where Gparted reports boot-drive to be corrupted." 11:46
zequenceOh, right. gparted11:47
sakrecoeri used gparted shortly before installing, and there was no warning messages. they came up after the iso test yesterday, which were not done with the latest build11:47
zequenceTo reproduce, you meay need recreate the dual boot situation11:48
zequence..and follow the same steps you did last time, when installing the second one11:48
zequenceI did a dual boot, or  triple boot yesterday, so it works for me11:48
zequenceBut, could be I did somethig different11:49
sakrecoerzequence, you did that on a dual screen?11:49
zequencesakrecoer: I don't see why you think that has anything to do with GRUB11:49
sakrecoerwell read OvenWerks chats above11:49
sakrecoerand it works fine on my laoptop, here i have triple boot too11:50
zequencesakrecoer: Ok, so GRUB is displayed on two screens11:50
sakrecoerovenwerk had the same problem as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/710922/grub2-boot-menus-out-of-sync-on-dual-monitors11:50
zequenceBut, that won't affect the installation of it11:50
sakrecoerno, i have a different problem...11:50
sakrecoerbut grub since to dislike dualscreens, and that is the only major difference i can see between my laptop and my desktop11:51
zequenceYeah, well, it11:51
zequenceThere's no correlation between installing stuff and how it is shown on screen, unless we are talking about configs based on a setup11:52
zequenceIf GRUB installs screen configs, that would be utterly idioti11:52
zequenceIT needs to work on any machine, anytime11:53
zequenceSo, I'm about 99.99% sure that's not the case here11:53
sakrecoeralright...11:54
sakrecoernow the formatation was finished, and i can't boot at all.11:54
sakrecoerformat+freshinstall11:54
zequenceOk, so something is not working on that machine. That's pretty serious, unless there's a problem with your drive11:55
zequenceYou could try installing onto a usb stick on the same machine.11:55
zequenceOr, another drive11:55
zequencesakrecoer: Do you have multiple drives, btw?11:56
zequenceI'm still wondering about if you are ware of where GRUB is being installed11:56
sakrecoeryes. 211:56
zequenceSo, did you check when installing this time? How did you do the installation?11:56
zequenceDid you partition manually or did you choose an automatic option?11:56
sakrecoeri chose erase disk and install 16.04, picked the disk where i have my system (sdb) and went on11:57
zequenceOk11:57
zequenceSo, that's the problem then11:57
sakrecoerautomatic11:57
zequenceGRUB is in sda11:57
zequenceDoesn't affect the content of the drive, only that GRUB is installed there11:57
zequenceSo, that was probably your problem all along11:57
sakrecoerit worked like that last time i installed..11:57
sakrecoerbut ok :)11:57
flocculantsakrecoer: it always defaults to sda11:58
zequenceYou can either change the order of your drives in the MB config, or you partition manually, and select the drive where GRUB is installed from the same window (the partitioner)11:58
sakrecoerflocculant: than i must have made it manually..11:59
flocculantyup11:59
sakrecoerzequence: ok11:59
sakrecoeri wonder why that drive gets sdb, it is first in order. must be the way they are connected or something..12:01
zequenceCould be something has changed with the latest kernel doing that12:01
sakrecoeryeah, its on sata 212:04
zequenceOh, right, of course. It's done physically12:04
sakrecoeri need food... anways it 12:05 UTC which means there are 4 hours left :D12:05
sakrecoershould i mark that bug as invalid?12:06

Rosco2bug #1531852 not reported this time around. Is it Ok now - or just not tested?12:16

Rosco2Just trying to tidy up our release notes as I go12:17
sakrecoerRosco2: regarding recordmydesktop, last weeks iso didn't adress it... i can try it now.12:22
sakrecoeri marked the grub bug as an "opinion" because i was expecting the installer to automagicaly put grub on the same drive as the system12:22
sakrecoerbut i guess that makes it an installer bug12:23
sakrecoerand that would be ubiquity right?12:23
sakrecoer(maybe "wishfully thinking" would fit "opinion" better than "expecting)12:23
zequencesakrecoer: I think what you could do is create a bug for ubiquity about not being able to select where GRUB is installed12:25
zequence(when not doing a manual partitioning)12:25
zequenceThat's something even I could probably be able to fix in the code12:25
zequenceThink we should look into other websites, particularly free software projects, and take some pointers on how to do our website12:30
autumna*steps in*12:31
autumnazequence: fully agreed. I have been already looking into other ubuntu distros sites. 12:32
zequenceI was just looking at Libre Office. Not just the graphics side of it, but what things to express in text and images12:33
zequenceWe could put together a list of websites that are good to take example of in different ways, and start figuring out how we want to do it12:33
zequenceWe make a plan first, before doing all the work with the pages12:34
autumnathat is a good idea, I would also suggest that if anyone has any very strong opinions and ideas about how to build a particular page, that they do it, then we can look at different versions and mix and match12:34
autumnaone thing I was thinking that what sakrecoer created as "feature tour" actually makes a good intro, but then each category needs to link I think to more detailed overview of various software we have and what they are used for, in sort of sub categories. (idea sort of adapted from software boutique of mate, rather than website tbh although it looks like there was plan for that in the previous website as well)12:40
autumnaalso another thing to think is that once we figure out what is the general plan, figure out which parts are required to launch the site, then produce some of the content regularly, continously, rather than trying to do everything in one swoop, and either take forever or have it rushed...12:41
autumnajust thinking out loud12:41
zequenceYes, it would be good to have subcategories defined12:42
zequenceI like how Libre Office has submenus for "Discover". That's where we could put those pages, apart from linking to them for the front page as well12:43
autumnaok you know what. I am writing these down to the wiki. hang on12:43
sakrecoerRosco2: oddly, screenrecorder worked fine in the live-session now. but not in the post installation12:46
zequencevideo stuff may not work in virtual environments, so those should always be checked on hardware12:47
Rosco2odd. worked for me last time in live. Never tested on after install12:47
zequence(just saying, not to sakrecoer)12:47
sakrecoerzequence: i'm doing it on hardwRE12:47
sakrecoerAH OK12:47
sakrecoersorry caps12:47
sakrecoerautumna: zequence: what is the plan for the current websites feature tour, it needs a bit of adjustment..12:48
zequencesakrecoer: OK, MAN12:48
sakrecoer:)12:48
zequencesakrecoer: As me and autumna were just saying. We should make a plan for it. Do some research first12:48
sakrecoerzequence: yes i read that, i'm thinking about this page: http://ubuntustudio.org/tour/12:49
sakrecoeror are we going to wait to announce release until we have the feature tour ready?12:49
zequencesakrecoer: Oh, well, if you want to change things there now, please do. Otherwise, we'll just change later12:49
zequenceNo, we announce today, and change the Download page12:49
autumnaI assumed we were just going to put the download link and not make changes to rest?12:49
sakrecoerok, i made a mockup of the download page yesterday, and also a draft post for release anouncement12:50
sakrecoerautumna: thing is there are quite a few changes: software gone, other new... so we might just need to remove some text and and some other. no biggie..12:50
zequencesakrecoer: Alright, but I think I would like to finish that up (the release announcement), considering it's my last release and I was thinking of adding the new about the project leader shift, as well12:51
sakrecoersure man! :) be myguest!12:51
autumnacool12:51
sakrecoeror rather: sure boss :) your wish is my command :)12:51
* zequence is the boss of bosses12:51
autumna(btw sakrecoer minor thing but I do have an idea about feature tour background images. but I will need help for the video section *laughs*)12:52
sakrecoersure autumna! 12:53
autumnaok I am kind of stuck on the front page, first impressions and all that.12:55
zequenceI'm starting to rethink a little, still using sakrecoer's version as the main inspiration12:55
autumna*nods*12:55
autumna2 places I am looking that I find I like are https://www.blender.org/12:56
zequenceBut, we should really forget about the old feature tour all together and start from scratch with the textual part of it - which can be combined with symbols12:56
autumnahttps://ubuntu-mate.org/community/12:56
autumnaerr the wrong link. the main page of that. 12:56
autumnaabout that I can try to do the graphics section of it..12:57
zequenceThe blender site is very efficient for them. They have lots of news, so worth having that on the front page. Background white, very modern web page, functional. The website for Mate, I feel is a little plain12:58
zequenceSo, I'm hoping we can do better :)12:58
autumnamate I like the content organization (I am not sure I like libreoffice for that)12:59
zequenceLibre Office is quite a bit richer than what we need13:00
autumnablender's updates, I don't know I go back and forth on that. on one hand seeing regular updates on front page helps users feel things are changing, that the project is fresh. on other hand is it clutter we don't need?13:00
zequenceBut, there are details here and there worth checking out13:00
autumnaI think libreoffice overall did a great job, but.. its almost.. too much stuff.13:00
cububuntu-mate.org doesn't translate well to mobile13:01
sakrecoerha.. ok, libreoffice has a different page for swedish verison13:01
autumnaoh yeah I was looking at the english one13:02
sakrecoerautumna: clutter on the front page, rather not indeed13:02
zequencesakrecoer: Really?13:02
zequenceSee, this is why I said there are details that are interesting13:02
sakrecoerzequence: duckduckgo brought me here: https://sv.libreoffice.org/13:02
autumnacub: it is the same layout we are using. and it seems to scale ok? which aspect are you referring to?13:02
zequencesakrecoer: I think that's what the English version used to look like too13:03
autumnasakrecoer: that is like the opposite end of the spectrum, compared to the libreoffice.org13:03
autumna;D13:03
cubMate don't scale on my iPhone 513:03
cubtext is wider than screen13:03
autumnaoh dear13:03
sakrecoeryeah, libreoffice.org gives me headache...13:04
sakrecoer:D13:04
sakrecoermate is pretty much what we have with the new theme, isn't it?13:05
autumnacub, http://www.ubuntustudio.zequence.net/ could you test this on same device?13:05
zequenceI'm more focusing on the way it communicates - not the graphics or the actual content13:05
autumnajust to make sure there isn't a bug in the theme that is affecting everybody13:05
zequenceThe most important thing with the website is to explain to people what UBuntu Studio is13:05
sakrecoerin a way, what you did here autumna http://www.ubuntustudio.zequence.net/feature-test/ i can see that being the front page really...13:05
autumnaI mean when you have the chance doesn't have to be now13:05
autumna;)13:05
zequencesakrecoer: I redid that a bit, just before13:05
zequenceIt's work in progress13:05
autumnasakrecoer yup. I was debating having a few blog post blurbs there or not, but i think for libreoffice, the slideshow ends up tipping it toward too much13:06
zequenceWhile doing it, I realized we need to rethink how we do it13:06
autumnayou should be going on one direction, not 2, in my opinion, but hey that's just my opinion13:06
zequenceLook, can we stop talking about Libre Office now? I never said we should take their look13:06
autumnazequence: what do you want to change? or rethink?13:06
autumnahahahaha sorry13:07
zequenceIf I say details, I don't mean the whole thing, ok?13:07
zequenceautumna: That is why I suggested we start doing research and make a plan13:07
zequenceI at least feel we can improve it a few steps13:08
autumnazequence: i am all for that. I was just not sure if there is any parts you feel is not working (even if you don't have a solution)  *shrugs*13:08
zequenceI don't really see the page saying anything yet. It's just four containers of color13:08
zequenceThe most important part is what it communicates13:09
zequencePeople who don't know what UBuntu Studio is should understand that as quickly as possible13:09
cubhttp://www.ubuntustudio.zequence.net/ scales nice (so far) on iPhone 5 at least13:09
autumnacub: *phiew* 13:09
autumnathank you for testing it13:09
zequenceWe already knew that page works13:10
zequenceIt's cause of knome's theme13:10
knomecub, my fault, sorry! :P13:11
autumnahi knome13:11
autumnazequence: ok. so I am a new user. why am I here. this is not a software, this is a distro, so I want to know.. well first how to get it. we have that13:12
autumnawhy should I use this distro, what is it, the blurb is good for that but.. hmm13:12
zequenceautumna: Yeah, let's make a plan for. But, right now, we should focus on the upcoming release.13:12
autumnayeah13:13
autumnasorry to distract all of you13:13
zequenceautumna: Don't be sorry13:13
sakrecoerautumna, i would suggest you write down a concept and send it to ubuntustudio-devel mailing list :) that would help us all read things calmly in a well organized way. (which sort of implies higher convining potential)13:16
sakrecoerit would also create a nice and easy to follow trail :)13:16
autumnathanks sakrecoer I was thinking of dumping it all on the wiki, but for the brainstorm/dialogue that works better13:16
sakrecoerautumna: yes, we can have the wiki-page zequence created to keep track of decisions made in the brainstorm13:19
autumna*nods*13:19
zequenceYou know what? I think I will skip the whole web site thing. It's really not my responsibility anymore, and I can use the extra time.13:20
cubhehe13:20
zequenceBut, you can continue using my web hotel for staging13:20
sakrecoerzequence: :) i was about to ask how the music is going <3 can we still count on your casual feedback and pertinent insights on the outcome of the brainstorming?13:21
autumnazequence: what sakrecoer said13:22
zequenceOf course. After release, I might not be following IRC as much, but I will always be logged in as usual. I'll also be monitoring the mail lists13:22
zequenceIf I think of something, I'll let you know13:22

autumnasakrecoer: were you planning to reorganize the tour to make it 3 categories?13:42
zequenceautumna: No, just change some stuff that isn't accurate anymore among the package selection13:42
Rosco2I still want to run live install & post install once13:43
autumnaok I'll take a look but I am not sure how much help unfortunately, since I am not exactly up to date as to what changed.13:43
Rosco2Any objections to me marking the ISO ready as I go?13:43
zequenceRosco2: Nope13:43
sakrecoerRosco2: nope13:43
sakrecoerthis one bug #1572938 happened on my other machine aswell... you guys not?13:45
ubottubug 1572938 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "Connected to wifi, the indicator behaves odly" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157293813:45
Rosco2Thats why I wanted to run the live session once13:47
cubRosco2: Go go go! :D13:47
Rosco2OK - I trust you guys - I marked it ready13:49
cubsakrecoer: I didn't get #1572938 yesterday, but perhaps something changed in the latest spin13:49
sakrecoercub: it works fine until you restart the network-manager from the indicators menu13:50
sakrecoerand actualy, it reconnects allright, jsut the icon is changed and the list of available networks vanishes13:51
Rosco2Think I will leave reference in the Release Notes to the old bugs that seem to still be there.13:54
Rosco2The new ones reported seem to be minor, so won't mention them13:54
Rosco2Anything else I should tweak on there bosses?13:55
Rosco2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuStudio13:55
autumnait says pre-release13:57
autumnais this for testing or for publishing? 13:57
* autumna is somewhat lost13:58
Rosco2Thanks - it was a copy and paste13:58
autumnano worries. *continues to read*13:58
Rosco2error13:58
OvenWerksSorry for not testing recordmydesktop, it was not in the bugs to watch for section.14:02
autumnavery minor nitpick: "The categorization in the menu has changed. Still work in progress, but we have gone from 5 main categories down to 3 - audio, graphics and video."14:03
autumnacorrection proposed: "The categorization in the menu has changed from 5 categories down to 3 - audio, graphics and video"14:04
OvenWerksautumna: you could say 4, because photography still has it's own menu14:04
OvenWerksIt is just sub to graphics14:04
autumnaok s14:04
OvenWerksBut yes, the menu has changed.14:05
autumna"The categorization in the menu has changed from 5 categories down to 3 - audio, gaphics and video. Photography is now available as a subcategory under Graphics"14:05
Rosco2Thanks14:05
OvenWerksAlso, the install is still 5 categories.14:05
zequenceRosco2: I changed the row on desktop changes, saying we synced with xubuntu pretty much14:05
zequenceIf you prefer a different wording, please redo it14:06
autumnaOvenWerks and everyone isn't that more of a known issue than a "change" through?14:06
zequenceautumna: What is?14:06
OvenWerksautumna: I need to know what "that" is14:07
autumnazequence: the install having 5 categories.14:07
OvenWerksI think that is a good thing14:07
zequenceIt's not very important. The menu does not reflect upon our packaging. They are two different things14:07
OvenWerksFor install it would not hurt to make more categories14:07
zequenceI agree14:07
OvenWerksEasier to install just the sw the user wants.14:08
autumnaI am neutral either way. I would say it made sense to merge publishing and graphics through14:08
zequenceautumna: We aren't making that kinf of choices right now. We're preparing release notes14:09
OvenWerks:)14:09
autumnajust approving the choice made zeuqence ;D14:09
autumna*typing fail*14:09
autumnaZequence's item rewording proposed: Desktop features of Ubuntu Studio are now fully synced with Xubuntu14:10
autumnanvm the current wording is fine14:10
zequenceautumna: I'm not sure you know whether or not that is true14:11
zequence"fully" would not be totally accurate14:11
autumnazequence: I don't know anything, just working from what i am listening here :) 14:13
zequenceautumna: Considering you are so new here, I would suggest you leave this part for us14:13
zequenceIt's the sum of the work for the past 6 months14:13
autumna*nods* sorry to overstep. 14:14
zequenceI'm sure you'll be better informed if you stick around for the next cycle, when it's time for this again :)14:14
Rosco2Just made autumna's category & prerelease tweaks14:14
Rosco2I have to go and fetch my son - back in 15 mins14:14
zequenceIsn't ardour the same as ardour3 now?14:16
sakrecoerglad to confrim ffado is working fine here...14:16
sakrecoernow i just need to figure out how to make blender cuda aware again :p but that is not our problem (pointing fingers at nvidia)14:17
zequenceardour3 is just a transitional package since ardour was not replaced with ardour(4)14:19
zequenceChanging the line about ardour14:20
zequenceLet me do a diff and see which packages we have changed in the multimedia metas between releases14:24
zequencesakrecoer: What FF device are you using?14:24
sakrecoerzequence: terratec phase 88 rack14:26
sakrecoerplug'n'play <314:27
zequencesakrecoer: Oh, a firewire kind. A friend has two of those as PCIs14:27
zequenceI'm going to make a tool for reporting diffs in between releases, making this part of the release notes a bit simpler14:28
sakrecoerzequence: <314:31
sakrecoerRosco2: zequence: maybe a mention about the new wallpapers? not a crucial change, but would make the community happy i think14:35
sakrecoer^ re: release notes14:35
sakrecoernot sure if i should edit the page or if that will mess up your current edits..14:36
sakrecoer-> wont edit anything until green light. however: "ImageMagick Entries not working" should now be "ImageMagick Entry not working"14:37
zequencesakrecoer: The community wallpaper part seems important, yes14:38
Rosco2zequence, obvious addition to metas is the puredata metapackage14:39
zequenceRosco2: Yes, but I'm thinking I should omit that, unless it added something new14:40
zequenceI need to check14:40
Rosco2I only mentioned because the diff will show less, but in reality there is more :-)14:41
zequenceAlso, I'm considering we should do a changes since Wily, and a changes since Trusty on the package selection14:42
zequenceRosco2: Right14:42
autumnais there any particular reason why ardour item is combined with the rest of the package update item? otherwise it might make sense to split them. 14:43
zequenceautumna: We will probably change that line soon, as more packages will be included14:47
Rosco2Just what I started typing14:47
autumna*laughs*14:47
zequencediff trusty -> xenial http://paste.ubuntu.com/15966456/14:53
zequenceUnfortunately, not very good color scheme there14:53
zequenceDiff wily -> xenial http://paste.ubuntu.com/15966487/14:54
zequenceactually, if we are going to do both, the one diff should be trusty -> wily14:55
zequenceWhich is this one http://paste.ubuntu.com/15966521/14:56
zequenceI'm going to start looking at that. If someone would like to assist, do the one trust -> xenial14:56
zequenceSorry14:56
zequencewily -> xenial14:56
zequenceProably easier to download as text and open with an editor that has color scheming14:57
sakrecoerzequence: "<" means removed and ">" means added?14:59
sakrecoercan't be..14:59
sakrecoerdon't worry too much, i take note of my question and will shoot it at a better moment15:00
zequencesakrecoer: No, it's right. But, you have to remember that some files have changed as well.15:00
zequenceLike, -audio-core was introduced after trusty15:00
zequenceAnd, pd stuff was removed, and replaced with a meta package15:00
zequenceI can only find three significant changes between trusty and wily15:01
zequenceubuntustudio-audio-core, petri-foo and x42-plugins15:01
zequenceSorry, additions15:02
zequenceThere are removals too15:02
zequenceThinking we don't mention desktop changes specifically. Just that it was synced with Xubuntu15:03
zequenceSo, the only significant removal I could find was lv2fil15:04
zequenceI'm adding those as changes since trusty15:04
zequencesakrecoer: Are you looking at something right now?15:07
sakrecoerzequence: not really, need a hand15:13
sakrecoer?15:13
zequencesakrecoer: No, it's alright. I'm almost done15:14
zequenceOk, think I got it. Always a chance for an error somewhere. Hard to create a diff tool that is smarter than this, without lots of config options needed15:21
sakrecoeri'm fighting with the wifi bug,15:23
sakrecoeri get disconnected sometimes from the hotspot of my phone (ubuntuphone :p)15:23
sakrecoerand then it takes much fight with the NM to get back online15:24
sakrecoer(the disconnection issue isn't new to xenial)15:25
Rosco2Sorry zequence - I thought sakrecoer was on the case15:26
Rosco2Then I got distracted with my favourite test case which ends with me playing youtube videos of my favourite Aussie bands from the old days :-)15:27
zequenceRosco2: I didn't really need any help :)15:27
zequencehaha15:27
sakrecoerRosco2: lol, well i could barly read those diffs so...15:28
sakrecoerplus i've had to reboot a few times to get wifi15:28
sakrecoerok, well it looks like i resolved my wifi problem this time. \o/15:31
sakrecoerlooked into the connection editor, there was one entry for ethernet and 2 for wifi.15:32
sakrecoerdeleted them all, rebooted, and now i can't even reproduce it15:33
zequencesakrecoer: Maybe the new kernel can attach to the neighbours wifi as well?15:33
zequenceI haven't had any problems myself, but I didn't mess much with the applets15:33
sakrecoerboth wifi had m wifi name, but the sconed with a 2 appendedn15:33
zequenceI'm all done with the release announcement, so pretty much done until Ubuntu is released15:34
sakrecoerthe thernet i don't know who it got there... haven't plugged an ethernet cable in ages15:34
zequenceThe way we know it is released is when either someone says GO! in the -release channel, or they post an announcement in the mail lists15:34
sakrecoerok15:35
zequenceEven if we have our cdimages ready, we should wait with release announcements until we get a go, which is how I described15:35
sakrecoermy brain is fried from yesterday and today...15:36
zequenceI don't usually do this amount of work, but I guess you guys inspire me15:37
zequenceDon't want to be the sloppy one in the bunch15:39
sakrecoeri'm really not used to this type of IRC pressure..15:41
sakrecoerneed to work on that..15:41
zequencesakrecoer: You'll have six months to prepare for the next one15:41
Rosco2:-)15:42
sakrecoeri geuess by then it will be worse, i have almost not checked -release at all this time15:42
sakrecoermy typing has gone from bad to worse in 24 hours15:43
zequenceIt's good to go in there and see the latest developments now and again15:43
zequenceDoes it look weird with so much bold text in the release notes now?15:43
zequenceI though either have it on all packages, or none. But, now I'm not sure15:43
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuStudio15:44
sakrecoeri guess its ok.15:44
zequenceRosco2: Thanks for the great work on the release notes, btw.15:44
sakrecoerstill no mention about wallpapers..15:45
zequencesakrecoer: Oh, just add it15:45
sakrecoerok15:45
sakrecoerso weird, on the production machine there is also a wired connection and 2 wifi connections... none of them have the same mac adresse in the device field..15:55
sakrecoerhowever, deleting all entries solved it there too..15:55
Rosco2It is done!16:32
Rosco2http://www.ubuntu.com/16:32
zequenceRosco2: Alright, thanks. I'll prepare the web site.16:36
OvenWerksI think this page first https://ubuntustudio.org/download/16:37
zequenceOvenWerks: Yep, we already have it done. Just need to publish16:38
OvenWerksRight. It is 4 clicks from http://www.ubuntu.com/... Not too bad.16:39
zequenceJust went through all the links, but haven't actually tried downloading anything. Should work https://ubuntustudio.org/download16:43
zequenceAnd announcing the new release, as well as the next project lead https://ubuntustudio.org/2016/04/new-ubuntu-studio-release-and-new-project-lead/16:45
OvenWerkszequence: Looks good and still easy to find from the main ubuntu page.16:48
Rosco2Might want to edit the release notes link from that page16:48
Rosco2Pointing at Trusty16:48
zequenceRosco2: Ok, thanks16:49
Rosco2Direct download link seems to be working16:51
zequenceOk, should be fixed16:51
Rosco2Looks good16:53
Rosco2Well done everyone \o/16:54
zequenceYes, well done!16:55
Rosco2I'm going straight to the fridge for a beer!16:56
zequencesakrecoer: I'm adding our wallpaper (without CoF) + plymouth style logo to social site releases (at least facebook)16:57
zequenceNot being too serious with it. Just to have something to look at besides the links16:57
zequenceJust to the post, not to the pages themselves, to be clear16:58
zequenceThe CoF is in the logo, but you can see for yourself16:59
zequenceOnly to facebook, as it seems. Doesn't work the same way on G+17:00
cubhttp://ubuntustudio.org/download Should we not keep the 14.04 links for a while as it's supported for another year?17:00
zequenceI think the idea is that LTS users move onto the next LTS, but that they have about a year to do so, if they are already on the old one17:03
zequenceWould be correct to include 14.04, but a little unusual17:03
OvenWerkszequence: 14.04 is at 14.04.4 right now? is there a 14.04.5 etc?17:04
zequenceOvenWerks: I might have overlooked that17:04
zequenceLet's see17:04
OvenWerksIf it ends at 14.04.4 then it is expected for people to move on.17:04
zequenceYes, at 14.0417:05
zequenceSorry, 14.04.417:05
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule17:05
zequenceAccording to that, 14.04.4 is the last release17:05
OvenWerksif there is a .5 then it would make sense to have the link. There is support for another year, but it is expected that a new install would the latest LTS17:06
OvenWerksTherefore offering a DL link for an old LTS does not make sense17:07
OvenWerksmaybe not even W.17:07
zequenceYes, you are right17:07
zequenceWe should remove Wily. There's no reason to have it there17:07
zequenceOnly when we don't release an LTS do we have two17:07
OvenWerkszequence: right.17:07
Rosco2If you are downloading, you would take the latest LTS17:07
OvenWerksI think that makes +3 :)17:08
Rosco2But the Ubuntu Mainpage has all the options including 12.04 http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads17:08
zequenceThey do support for 5 years17:08
OvenWerksRosco2: That is a separate page the main download page does not.17:08
cubit's still available, just not directly from the download page17:08
cubXubuntu don't even include links to 15.1017:08
zequenceUbuntu is also mostly tuned towards servers17:09
zequenceWe shouldn't either17:09
zequenceI'm going to remove 15.10 from the download page17:09
zequenceDon't know why I didn't think about that :)17:09
OvenWerksRosco2: The main desktop download is one image only, 16.04/64bit17:10
OvenWerksAlternative is another name for archives17:11
zequenceI could add a link to all of our releases17:11
Rosco2Keep it simple :-)17:11
zequenceOh, I meant that for the older releases :)17:12
OvenWerksmake it point at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/17:12
zequenceYep17:12
Rosco2+117:12
zequenceI'm adding a line that points there17:12
* OvenWerks notes that there is a 12.04.5 :)17:13
cubyup17:13
zequenceOf course. Ubuntu should probably have another few point release coming, considering they support for 5 years17:14
zequenceWith each new kernel, principally17:14
zequenceEasy to get confused :)17:15
cubmight not be a Ubuntu Studio thing, but many applications only have support for 14.04 still. Like some HW we use at work I need to install 14.04 of distros to make it work.17:15
OvenWerkszequence: I don't see that... when the new LTS comes out a new install should use it.17:15
zequenceOvenWerks: Maybe not for servers17:15
cubThough...most would not use Studio for those appliances17:15
OvenWerksI think that is part of the reason for snap17:16
zequenceOvenWerks: Especially if you have a whole infrastructure based on that17:16
OvenWerkszequence: ya I guess for keeping al the machines on the same release17:16
zequenceOk, does this work? https://ubuntustudio.org/download/17:16
cubThe #ubuntustudio channel topic badly needs an update. :P17:17
OvenWerkszequence:  works for me.17:17
cubzequence, but are all the releases in the "older" link supported?17:18
cub"To find all of our supported releases"17:18
zequenceOh, damn17:18
Rosco2Better to say older releases instead of supported17:18
zequenceI just took for granted the non supported ones would have been removed17:18
cubperhaps "To find all of our supported (and unsupported) releases" but that might sound confusing17:18
cubRosco2, yeah, older is better.17:19
Rosco2Need to add that 14.04 is supported 1 more year17:19
zequenceThe non supported ones should not be there anymore. Think it's a bug, based on that Ubuntu supports for five years17:19
cubI think we had that discussion last LTS release as well?17:20
cubSoemthing with Ubuntu saving all releases for archiving purposes17:20
cubHave anyone tested this? "The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu Studio is 512 MB of memory."17:21
zequenceHow about I just link to 14.04 instead17:21
zequenceThat's the only one we are interested in anyway17:21
knomecub, you can probably *run* with 512MB, but i wouldn't expect it to be fast17:21
OvenWerkscub to run maybe, not much use I think.17:21
knomeOvenWerks, is it echoing in here? :)17:22
OvenWerksknome :)17:22
* OvenWerks is one of those who has to look at the keyboard while typing ...17:22
knomei usually watch the open irc channel17:22
knomeregardless if i'm writing a message to irc or not17:23
OvenWerksre #ubuntustudio topic. Can I assume we want a more generic one like we have here?17:23
cubknome, didn't Xubuntu do tests a year ago or so on how low you can go on RAM?17:23
knomecub, your minimum says 512MB, recommended is 1GB17:24
OvenWerksThe last one was set by unit19317:24
OvenWerksrecomended should be over 2G17:24
cubOvenWerks, I was mostly thinking of 14.04.3 adn 15.10 released..17:24
zequenceFOr us, recommended is definitely over 2GB17:24
zequenceBut, in these modern days, I would go as far as saying 4GB17:25
cubIf I run Ubuntu Studio and log in with Xfce I think I'm already over 512 MB17:25
cubzequence, Bah! I have a total of 4 GB. When using dwm I use 128 MB after login..:D17:25
zequenceThink I based the minimum on what was minumum for all except Lubuntu at around 13.04 or so17:25
zequencecub: Yes, but for using actual applications you'll need a lot more17:26
OvenWerksThe minimum installed on any HW seems to be 1G even on a Pi17:26
zequenceI mean, for using applications.17:26
zequenceWe don' have linuxsampler, but using that, and a few other applications, you'd start to suffer pretty quickly17:27
zequence..depending on your sample sizes17:27
OvenWerks1gig ram is enough for on stage use as a guitar effect.17:27
zequenceThat sounds like a minimum requirement in a way17:27
OvenWerksalso ok for idjc use17:27
knomeit indeed is relative to what you are doing17:27
knomeif it's a graphic artist setup, they might only be running inkscape17:28
zequenceI put 2GB there maybe three years ago based on what you would be comfortable with17:28
OvenWerksI would put 1Gig min and 4G recomended17:28
zequenceYes, me too17:28
zequenceSounds fair?17:29
cubup17:29
cubyup17:29
OvenWerksI could (and have) gotten a lot of use from 2.5G, but the low end desktop comes with 4G anyway.17:30
OvenWerksI have 8 now.17:30
zequenceI should also mention you need at least 10GB of disk space, just for installing the system17:30
knomeOvenWerks, that's false logic though ("everybody has 4GB anyway, so we can set it as recommended")17:30
cubSure I have made all recording and mixing on my 4 GB RAM laptop. Then again, I don't use many channels or much effects17:30
cubBefore that I did all my recording on 1 GB RAM. That worked too. 17:31
zequence4GB is just at the limit for me, but that's for all sorts of things. Not just multimedia production17:31
OvenWerksknome: yes, but recomended is based on people using at least drumgizmo17:31
zequenceRecommended is for being comfortable17:31
zequenceThat's how I think of it, anyway17:31
OvenWerksright17:31
cubme too. As a pointer to do most of the work you can do with the distro17:31
cubnot to do every thinkable project17:32
knomeno? boo.17:32
knome(:17:32
cubI know. we suck.17:34
OvenWerksA good drumkit is 2.5G of sample. I haven't tried drmr though it may be able to do less. Fluid can run with a lot less.17:34
cubzequence, maybe nitpicking here but "The DVD image is about 2GB", it's 2.6 GB, so noone hope to fit to a 2 GB USB17:35
zequencecub: Oh, yes. It has gronw17:35
zequenceI'll put that to 2.6GB17:35
OvenWerks(fluid's drums do not sound real)17:35
zequencefluid sounds a lot like a built in Yamaha synth I had in a P2 computer a long time ago17:36
zequenceI changed the RAM requirement, changed 2GB to 2.6GB and added that you need at least 10GB for an installation (so a 8GB stick does not do, if you were looking for that solution)17:37
OvenWerkszequence: right. Drumgizmo is now in ubuntu repos... sakrecoer we should put that on the list for next cycle17:37
zequencehttps://ubuntustudio.org/download/17:37
zequenceWould probably be good to have a wiki page for each cycle for stuff to add17:38
zequenceLet me fix that17:38
OvenWerksThere is no ubuntu drmr package though (aside from dobey's PPA)17:39
zequencedgedit goes with drumgizmo, so adding both to the list17:40
OvenWerksI don't think any drum kits come wit the package, so a link to the downlaod site would make sense too.17:41
zequencehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageSelectionY17:42
OvenWerkszequence: Thank you.17:47
zequenceI'm adding that page to the organization part of things. Thinking that's the best place for planning, namely feature definitions, blueprints and stuff like this17:47
zequenceOk, so I ended up renaming the page. But, this is how it works17:53
zequenceFrom this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Organization17:53
zequence..you can find a link in the side bar to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageSelection17:54
zequence..which shows all of its subpages, which right now is only https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageSelection/Y17:54
zequenceI know sakrecoer was just out for dinner, so he will be back shortly17:56
zequenceThat kind of wraps things up for me, I think. I will try to put some more time on the wiki, and fix up broken stuff and clarify other things17:57
autumnadocumentation!17:58
* autumna goes to read17:58
zequenceOvenWerks: We should probably always say why something should be added in the wiki, when suggesting it18:00
OvenWerksYes, in the case of drumgizmo, it is the most often recomended drum synth when people ask. That could of course be bias in those who normally answer...18:03
zequenceOvenWerks: Yep. For plugins we don't have any limit currently anyway, so that makes it simple18:04
OvenWerksIt used to be hydrogen, but hydrogen requires routing outside of the daw and back in18:04
OvenWerkswith Aroudr being able to run Jackless, that is harder to support or recomend.18:05
OvenWerksDrMr would be nice to include because it uses Hydrogen drumkits.18:05
OvenWerks*Ardour18:05
zequenceI even created some form of system for suggesting changes. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/PackageSelection/Y18:10
zequenceThe change should be written as 'add|remove|replace package [with package] (because..)'18:11
zequenceToo complex? Just do it another way, in that case18:11
zequenceI think this stuff should be done within the first, maybe two months of development. I'm sure there's a lot more that could be changed18:13
zequenceI did have the idea of having two plugin packages. One which included the essentials - covering all types of plugs, but only using really great ones, and one which includes everything18:16
zequenceThere was a similar discussion about fonts. The two are somehow similar18:17
zequenceOk, that's enough for me today. I guess I'll be around18:18
OvenWerksLooks good and has the explain right there.18:19
zequencesakrecoer and Rosco2: usually the release manager does the announcements, but I guess we didn't work that out in detail for this release. You do as you want in the future.18:24
Rosco2zequence, there was a wiki page that mentioned some roles around the release18:31
Rosco2But I couldn't find it the last time I looked18:31
Rosco2Found it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ReleaseProcedure18:35
Rosco2We can redistribute the roles as required and update it18:36
zequenceRosco2: Ah, I don't remember that page (think I only added the navigation to it). Must be smartboyhw who did that. Mostly copied from Ubuntu18:39
zequenceNo link to it from any of the pages. Falls under organization rather than development18:41
zequenceAdding it to the sidebar for organization18:42
