tsimonq2phillw: my metapackage is recommended on the wiki page because it has a DM and such19:03
ianorlindoes it also have the lubuntu artwork?19:31
ianorlintsimonq2, ^19:31
tsimonq2ianorlin: yes it does19:31
tsimonq2ianorlin: I'm hacking on it now19:31
tsimonq2we'll have a lightdm greeter soon, right from the Lubuntu sources19:32
tsimonq2(hopefully)19:32
ianorlinyeah sudo apt-get install lxqt does not bring that in19:32
tsimonq2ianorlin: don't use that, that's Debian's19:32
tsimonq2I'm ensuring my package has everything you need19:33
tsimonq2and Julien's is a bit weird, breaks regularly19:33
ianorlinjuliens is upstream git19:34
tsimonq2but it breaks frequently, better to use the packages in the repos, I'd be curious to see if we can get Snappy packages working :)19:35
tsimonq2ianorlin: do you want to mess with Snappy packages or should I?19:36
ianorlintsimonq2, I don't really have much insterest in snappy that much I kind of have a lot of trouble groking yaml for an inexplicable reason20:19
tsimonq2ianorlin: do you want to try and learn or would you like me to just play with it? :)20:21
ianorlingo ahead21:02
tsimonq2thanks ianorlin :)21:09
agaidatsimonq2: if you have access to the daily-ppa - hack the damn tasksel and be done with it - dont reinvent the wheel everytime21:54
* agaida wonders about NIH-syndrom21:55
tsimonq2agaida: heh, that's Julien's PPA22:28
tsimonq2agaida: I only have access to ppa:tsimonq2/lxqt-meta22:28
agaida:)22:28
* agaida suggest a brainstorming with the title "Teamwork"22:29
agaidaor "How to bundle efforts"22:29
tsimonq2I agree fully22:29
tsimonq2apparently he wants us to use the Debian LXQt metapackage22:29
tsimonq2which, don't get me wrong, I love Debian and I love LXQt and a mix of the two22:30
tsimonq2but the NIH syndrome that makes Lubutnu different from LXDE should make Lubuntu different from LXQt22:30
agaidaand exactly this i had in mind as i began the desktop tast22:31
agaidatask even22:31
tsimonq2what did you have in mind? sorry22:32
agaidaderivatives22:32
tsimonq2I see22:32
agaidayou will find a lot of alternatives in that task-package, may it sddm|openboy|xwindowmanager or so22:33
agaidadm, tsss22:33
tsimonq2but we have the Lubuntu artwork and such that makes bundling it all in one metapackage impractical, I love the efforts made by you guys and the LXQt guys, but IMHO if we can't just take the LXDE metapackage from Debian, we can't take the LXQt metapackage from Debian22:33
tsimonq2you get my point?22:34
phillwtsimonq2: that is why it comes in two parts :)22:34
agaidalqubuntu-meta: Depends: lxqt; Recommends: lubuntu-artwork, {list of packages}22:35
tsimonq2!info lqubuntu-meta22:35
tsimonq2!info lqubuntu-meta yakkety22:35
ubot93Package lqubuntu-meta does not exist in yakkety22:35
agaidait isn't a package right now22:35
agaidabut its the way to go - extend the meta-package(s) and tasks with own things and be done22:36
tsimonq2well this is why I hacked my metapackage together (fully compliant with Debian standards version 3.9.7 BTW)22:36
phillwindeed :)22:36
tsimonq2because we don't have that yet22:36
agaida3.9.7 is far outdated22:36
tsimonq2hmm22:36
agaida:P22:36
tsimonq2them I might be wrong with that, hold on22:37
agaidano, the standards are ok for xenial22:37
* tsimonq2 thought it was 3.9.8 but whatever22:38
tsimonq2I'll read the checklist and upgrade tonight :)22:38
tsimonq2anyways22:39
tsimonq2agaida: you think my package has outdated standards? lubuntu-meta:22:44
tsimonq2Standards-Version: 3.8.322:44
agaidahrhrhr22:48
agaidaisn't that important - compats are important22:49
tsimonq2that's just the number?22:49
tsimonq2if so, I'm at 922:50
agaidaand thats current22:50
tsimonq2agaida: lubuntu-meta is at 722:51
agaidait isnt important for metapackages22:51
agaidayou only declare with debian/compat to which helper you are compatible22:52
agaidaso if you are in need of some modern stuff you are doomed if compat is set to 5 or so22:53
tsimonq2agaida: so what is the plan for Lubuntu LXQt packages going forward?22:57
agaidawhich plan?22:57
tsimonq2metapackages22:57
tsimonq2what's in Debian?22:58
agaidai would build metapackages like for lxde - maybe learn some lessons from the past and done22:58
tsimonq2so we don't have Lubuntu LXQt metapackages in Debian?23:00
agaidawhy should debian take care of lubuntu?23:00
tsimonq2which is my point in questioning the lxqt metapackage being used :P23:01
tsimonq2(from Debian)23:02
agaidawe have a basic lxqt metapackages lxqt-core and lxqt - and these metapackages play well with task-lxqt-deskop23:02
tsimonq2so it plays well but you don't actually have Lubuntu metapackages in Debian?23:02
agaidaand you can make own meta-packages, that are based on lxqt - thats what i would do23:03
agaidano - downstream packages are downstream packages23:03
tsimonq2aha! thanks agaida :)23:03
agaidaand btw - for siduction i use only the standard packages with some enhancements23:04
agaidahttp://git.siduction.org/blob/base!pyfll.git/master/pyfll!packages!packages.d!980-siduction-lxqt - the rest is defined elsewhere23:05
agaidawe have to list recommends explicitly - thats why the list is so long23:06
tsimonq2agaida: do you guys have a replacement for lightdm?23:06
agaidawe use sddm distributionwide23:06
agaidait fit our needs23:07
tsimonq2SDDM?23:07
* tsimonq2 Googles23:07
agaidaand i have no problem to mix pure GTK with a Qt DM23:07
tsimonq2so what theming do you use?23:07
tsimonq2(if any)23:07
tsimonq2does LXQt have an SDDM theme?23:08
agaidaone could read the topic in freenode #lxde23:08
phillw:P23:08
agaidasiduction has a sddm theme23:08
agaidaits simple, just some qss and be done with23:08
tsimonq2what's the package name?23:09
agaida$release-sddm-theme i guess, might be sddm-theme-$release too23:09
tsimonq2so sddm-theme-lxqt?23:10
=== ianorlin is now known as lynorian
tsimonq2or sddm-theme-stretch?23:10
agaidano, as in sddm-theme-whiteroom, sddm-theme-paintitblack and sddm-theme-thunderstruck23:11
tsimonq2I see23:11
tsimonq2what comes with LXQt?23:11
agaidaboah, linux sucks - i give it up for today with the Miix23:11
agaidadepends on the release23:11
tsimonq2!info sddm-theme-thunderstruck yakkety23:12
ubot93Package sddm-theme-thunderstruck does not exist in yakkety23:12
agaidaright23:12
agaidaand will never exist - its a siduction package23:12
tsimonq2are there sddm theme packages in Ubuntu?23:12
tsimonq2ohhhhh23:12
tsimonq2I see23:12
agaidain ubuntu there should be maui, maldives, simple and breeze - but breeze will throw in half KDE and neigbours pet too23:13
agaida+h23:13
phillwtsimonq2: sddm-theme-lubuntu-chooser23:13
tsimonq2I just looked it up, but thanks anyways phillw :)23:14
phillwagaida: someone who could be a professional complainer has given the package links that we discussed re: what Jorn had listed as pleasing..... I was stunned to read it!!!23:17
tsimonq2phillw: hm?23:19
