GlorfindelMeeting at devel?00:53
=== irv_ is now known as irv
diydsphi! I just installed 16.04 Ubuntu Studio last night.  I was on 14.04 Ubuntu before that.13:49
sakrecoerdiydsp: how's the first impression?13:50
diydspI was delighted to see a video editor in the startup menu!  I never got one working bug-free under Linux before.  Didn't edit anything yet, but I'm itching to.13:52
diydspFirefox doesn't looks as good as usual.  Would that be due to the window manager?  And I was happy to see gimp and blender pre-installed.13:52
sakrecoerdiydsp: regarding firefox, i guess it is due to the theme of the window manager, you can chose others in Settings-manager=>appearance13:54
sakrecoerdiydsp: for video i recomend trying kdenlive. as for bug-free video editors in linux, there are quite a few, blender is a prominent example :)13:55
diydspThanks!  I'll go into manager->appearance13:56
diydspAh!  Just started teaching myself blender for CAD.13:56
diydspAlso, is there a separate donation place for UbuntuStudio?  I wouldn't mind supporting this effort.13:57
sakrecoerdiydsp: in the top-bar of blender, you have button where it says "default" if you open the pulldown menu there, you will find one entry taht says: "Video editing". click it an love it :D13:57
sakrecoerdiydsp: no, we do it for the love of art :) but you could consider donating to the software you enjoy the most :) if blender is your new crush, i know they make very nice t-shirts :)13:58
sakrecoerdiydsp: what you could do for us is to be very vocal about the fact you are using ubuntu studio :)13:58
sakrecoerdiydsp: or get involved in development :) we need all kinds of skills, not only coding so to speak13:59
sakrecoerdiydsp: http://ubuntustudio.org/contribute/ and https://store.blender.org/14:00
sakrecoerdiydsp: we do have swag aswell, but it is not for profit :) http://ubuntustudio.org/merchandise/14:01
diydspAh, thanks!  I can start by helping spread the word with a shirt :)14:03
diydspIs this a bug/feature queue I could take a look at and see how I could help?  I found the JoinTheTeam page and the mailing list...but rather than skim the mailing list archives right away, maybe I could see what kinds of things I could help with.14:03
sakrecoerdiydsp: i guess you could dig into this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio14:05
sakrecoer:)14:06
sakrecoerdiydsp: but, most of the bugs get reported directly to softwares project page...14:06
diydspAh yes, here we go.  Thank you.  That gives me an idea how I could help.  It seems there are lots of packaging requests.  I don't know how to do that but maybe if I read some of this "Done" ones I'll learn.14:09
sakrecoerdiydsp: if it gets packaged in debian, we end up having it, so it realy is there things should be packaged. that way, not only us benefit from it :)14:11
diydspOh!  Another thing I really liked was the mouse settings.  In 14.04 there was no GUI control to adjust mouse acceleration and I disliked the default mouse speed :(  I had a process I would go through manually, listing items partially with a script, but most of the time it was too hard.  So I was glad to see Studio has the mouse controls.  I guess that comes from Ubuntu 16.04?14:11
sakrecoeri think those controls are from xubuntu :) we base everything desktop on xubuntu :)14:12
sakrecoerdiydsp: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/DeveloperTutorials/SimpleBugFixExample here is a little tutorial, you can find more info about developement in that wiki using the sidebar :)14:13
diydspAnd just out of curiousity, why xfce?  Is it higher performance?14:13
sakrecoerdiydsp: yes, its lightweight but still elegant enough :) however, it is possible to install a plethora of other DE :)14:14
diydspah yes, I notice this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio/+bug/739628  The report is from 2011, but I think I noticed the same thing last night.  I was kind of addicted to the Ubuntu 14.04 message that gave the ethernet status.14:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 739628 in Ubuntu Studio "STUDIO could do with an Ethernet OK ICON and the System should check "Ethernet OK", more often." [Undecided,New]14:16
diydspBut I'm not sure I should go as far as switching to Gnome to get ethernet status14:17
sakrecoerhmm... i never had that bug tbh..14:17
sakrecoerif i unplug ethernet cable, it updates the icon in systray instantly...14:17
sakrecoerbut the nm has been acting a bit weird lately, it tends to display the ethernet icon when wifi is on...14:18
diydspOK, I'll take a closer look at it tonight when I'm on the machine again!  I wish I didn't have to be at work all day, HA!  ;)14:19
sakrecoerdiydsp: this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/158940114:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1589401 in NetworkManager "cannot view wifi networks after re-enabling wifi" [Medium,Confirmed]14:19
diydspBTW, what files make Xubuntu into Ubuntu Studio?  Is there a list of changes in one or more locations?14:28
diydspAnd I was also wondering about CAD.  I use a realtime kernel on two other computers for controlling a laser cutter and a CNC router.  But there were pre-installed for me and I don't know how to re-create that myself.  I would rather use a distro with RT kernel, like US.  Is there much talk about CAD applications running under US?  And if not are you interested in heading in that direction?14:33
sakrecoerwe use the Lowlatency kernerl in fact... for both those questions, i'm not the best stuited to answer you, diydsp ...14:50
sakrecoer..soory14:50
sakrecoerthere is not enough talk about CAD tbh, that is something you could contribute with :)14:51
=== funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat
diydspAwesome, sakrecoer.  Thank you so much for the nice introduction!  I saw the "workflows" section so potentially in the future, there could be a CAD one.  Honestly, I'm only an amateur in CAD, but I keep notes.  I love wikis!!!15:13
diydspThis is my wiki so far for UbuntuStudio: http://www.diydsp.com/index.php?title=Home_Network15:16
diydspAnd this is my artwork (instrument building) if you're curious :)  http://dsp.guitars15:16
sakrecoerdiydsp: wow!!! i love your bass sticks!!!15:17
diydspAw shucks, thanks :)15:20
sakrecoerthis is so cool, diydsp : http://dsp.guitars/mp3/sn6.mp315:23
sakrecoerit could have little more ... umpf in the bass, you know... more "infra" or whatever its called... but the principle is crazy nice!!!!15:23
sakrecoermaybe it you use the DS-7 circuitry? :p15:24
