[17:56] hi sakrecoer [17:56] hi zequence [17:56] (olinuxx here) [17:56] hi! [17:57] o/ [17:57] :) its better to speak about packaging in here, or stuff from the devel mailing list :) [17:58] so we don't scare the artists off with funky computer words :D [17:58] make sense :) sorry for the mess then ;) [17:58] nothing to be sorry about!! [17:58] on the contrary! nice with a little action boost :D [17:59] but then again, this channel exists, so lets take advantage of it! [18:00] yep' [18:00] trebmuh aka olinuxx is the mastermind behind our french counterpart librazik [18:02] Is that a continuation of Tango Studio? [18:03] I remember I tried that distro, ardound 2008-2009 or something like that [18:03] Maybe a little later, don't remember [18:03] Was Ubuntu based at the time, I believe [18:04] zequence, not officialy, but I did participate to tango a bit before being unable to continue participation due to a relocation in Australia for 3 years and a half (and a job, and so on) [18:04] zequence, the first tangostudio was based on ubuntu yes, then the 2nd version switched to debian wheezy [18:05] So LibraZiK is not a continuation (from my POV) but, it can be viewed as one (as a user POV) [18:06] I'm focussing on imroving usability for francophone users ie : frenchised menu items, frenchised GUI (when I can) and french support through a IRC chan + forum on linuxmao.org (which I'm main admin of) [18:07] trebmuh: Why not help Ubuntu Studio have that dimension as well? [18:08] Mostly about translations and communication channels, like a french IRC, french mail list, french forum, etc. [18:08] Changes to packages are either done in Debian, or if they are original Ubuntu Studio source - here [18:09] We have had one or two being interested in doing something for Spanish speaking, but no one has ever done anything concrete for that [18:09] I much prefer to make my own and collaborate when that make sense (like SSR maybe) since, I'm not stuck with bureaucraty :) [18:09] same with debian :) [18:09] Well, duplication of work [18:09] not really [18:09] But, your choice :) [18:10] Why not do the work at the root instead? [18:10] I'm sending patches upstream when that make sense [18:10] ok [18:10] both in debian and/or upstream project [18:10] then it sailing back to ubuntu as well :) [18:11] Yep [18:11] in fact, I'm certainly already participating to ubuntu with this POV :) [18:11] Sure. But, you are repackaging or doing new packages, so that is duplication of work [18:11] trebmuh: How about licenses. Do you have anything non-free included? [18:12] not really non-free stuff [18:12] So, no linuxsampler, no flashplayer? [18:12] no [18:12] only stuff like madfuload / alsa firmware [18:12] and wifi stuff on my live [18:13] Ok, so it's not strictly free, in other words [18:13] ..which makes it similar to Ubuntu [18:13] but I much prefer spending my free time on free software [18:13] well more or less :) [18:14] I'm planning to make totally free live as well on a next release [18:14] Ok, that's something that we can't offer for sure [18:14] Well, at least not with current selection of packages [18:14] what do you have as non-free in US ? [18:15] There are some blobs in the kernel, such as wifi drivers [18:15] And, we include the alsa firmware stuff as well [18:15] "in the kernel" or as "external modules of the kernel" ? [18:15] During installation you can add stuff like nvidia drivers and flashplayer, but, it's a choice [18:16] Ubuntu packages the kernel a bit differently from Debian [18:16] mmm ok [18:16] It has never been fully free, I think. Debians didn't used to be either, in the past [18:16] I'm packaging my kernel from the debian one + some improvements if I can [18:16] I think the debian kernel are 100% since 2.6.x [18:17] No, I think it was after that [18:17] But, I could be wrong [18:17] http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html#Debian [18:17] Anyway, nice chatting! Need to do some work :) [18:18] from squeez in feb 2011 [18:18] Right, yep [18:18] yep no worries, always happy to share knowledge and work :) [18:18] I'll be sticking around if you're fine with it [18:18] Of course! :) [18:18] sweat [18:18] please do so trebmuh ! :) [18:19] :) [20:20] hi trebmuh! (waves hi to also sakrecoer and zequence before vanishing right back) [20:21] autumna: Hellp [20:21] :) same error as before [20:21] zequence that particular typo cracks me up every time. :D [20:21] lol [20:21] by the way I didn't forget the website discussion or any of the other stuff. got thrown an unexpected real life curveball, should be back sometime this weekend latest. [20:22] is curveball the correct term? [20:23] Well, I would assume everyone understood, so correct enough [20:26] hi autumna [20:26] zequence, you're really good at user&jack troubleshooting, congrats :) [20:26] :) [20:28] trebmuh: I'm working on making ubuntustudio-controls take care of that in the future. Takes too long time for quite simple problems [20:28] Most of it is in the slowness in information exchange [20:28] I definitely do agree ! [20:28] zequence, so you're a coder ? [20:28] trebmuh: I do some python. The current -controls was rewritten from scratch by me [20:29] I have rewritten it again, but not finished. Doing the GTK without Glade this time [20:29] great [20:29] I hope that one day we will have a soft like this one, distro-agnostic [20:30] It'd serve so much new-comers [20:30] I'm planning on making an unbranded version of -controls [20:30] but I remember using ubuntustudio control back on 10.04 or earlier and it was so good [20:30] sweat ! great news ! [20:30] It's Debian based, currently, but it could do other distros too [20:31] Yes, at the time it solved some problems [20:31] zequence, if you would enjoy a debian tester for it, please let me know [20:31] Now, it only adds realtime privilege, which is a problem on non audio distros [20:31] yep [20:31] trebmuh: I think you should be able to install it as is. Just get the deb and try it out [20:32] will do, but what are the current feature ? only PAM configuration ? [20:32] s/feature/features [20:32] Yes, but it will detect if you are using something else - in which case it will not allow you to make changes to PAM [20:32] Actually, that and adding/removing users from audio group [20:33] ok
