wxli actually don't think it's ppc specific01:13
lynorianwierd I don't get it with amd 6401:13
lynorianis it with mbr and having too many primary partitions?01:14
wxlas i remember there's soemthing rather specific you need to do. something rather odd.01:14

ac2Hi, is there any gpg signature or key available to verify the .iso file download on the lubuntu website?15:43
tsimonq2ac2: which website?16:09
tsimonq2ac2: (we have one official but another one is commonly confused as the real one)16:09
ac2lubunutu.net16:20
tsimonq2ac2: that's not our website16:22
ac2tsimonq2: do I have that correctly?16:22
tsimonq2ac2: our website is lubuntu.me16:22
tsimonq2ac2: that *used* to be our website, but it moved16:22
ac2tsimonq2: the .net looks like a clone16:23
tsimonq2yes, it is now, but just use .me in the future :)16:23
ac2right I guess I still can seem to find any pgp signature file to verify the .iso file16:24
tsimonq2ac2: can you get me the link of the file you downloaded?16:25
tsimonq2(where you downloaded it from)16:25
ac2tsimonq2: downloaded it from lubuntu.me/downloads  - the 64-bit desktop version16:27
tsimonq2ac2: ok, I mean, what's the *exact* ?16:41
ac2tsimonq2: oh okay16:45
ac2tsimonq2: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.4/release/lubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso16:46
tsimonq2ac2: we're actually releasing 14.04.5 today, so I would recommend waiting ;)16:47
tsimonq2ac2: or use 16.04.1 :)16:47
tsimonq2ac2: but if you REALLY want to verify the image, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto16:49
tsimonq2wxl: hey, ping16:53
ac2tsimonq2: haha very nice16:53
ac2just out of curisoity, what's the significant difference between 14.04 and 16.04?16:54
tsimonq2ac2: systemd :P16:54
tsimonq2either way, one was released in 2014 and the other in 201616:54
tsimonq2wxl: dude, I need to talk to you, I see you in #lubuntu-offtopic :P17:03
ac2tsimonq2: what system do you stick with?17:04
tsimonq2wxl: what's the deal with PPC and do we plan on releasing it?17:04
tsimonq2ac2: I'm running the development release that will become 16.1017:04
tsimonq2wxl: (for 14.04.5)17:07
tsimonq2ac2: I recommend 16.04.1 either way17:07
ac2tsimonq2: right on, I appreciate the help. One last thing17:07
ac2tsimonq2: who's signature is used to sign the .iso files17:08
tsimonq2ac2: I don't think it's PGP, I could be wrong though17:09
tsimonq2ac2: I think it's just a regular hash17:09
tsimonq2ac2: I'm not an expert on this ;)17:09
ac2tsimonq2: not to worry, thansk again17:15
wxltsimonq2: yes. that resize thing is not a showstopper in my mind, as long as we have it in the release notes17:23
ac2tsimonq2: hey sorry to jump back on here17:24
tsimonq2ac2: it's fine :)17:24
ac2tsimonq2: but are the same keys used to sign both ubuntu and lubuntu iso files?17:25
tsimonq2wxl: alright, just waiting for global17:25
tsimonq2ac2: it's totally fine that you are here, you'll just probably get more people to answer if you go to #lubuntu ;)17:25
wxlmarked as ready fwiw17:29
tsimonq2\o/17:31
tsimonq2wxl: can't wait for stgraber to approve that PR :P17:31
wxlyuup17:31
ac2tsimonq2: I sent a similar question towards #lubuntu's way but not seemed to want to take a stabbed at it17:35
tsimonq2wxl: also, I have something that I want to show you17:38
tsimonq2wxl: see https://github.com/ahoneybun/kubuntu-manual/ ?17:38
wxlyup17:38
tsimonq2wxl: wouldn't it be awesome if we had one for Lubuntu?17:39
wxlyup17:39
tsimonq2wxl: https://github.com/tsimonq2/lubuntu-manual17:39
wxlyou want to be wiki/docs team leader?17:39
tsimonq2wxl: temporarily I think that would be a good solution, because if we have this manual and people commit to it, we might have someone who can step up17:40
tsimonq2wxl: but I'm willing to put the work into this :)17:40
wxlmy only problem with that is that there's no "vision" and there's no person to manage all the random drive by contributions to ensure they keep to that vision17:41
wxlwe need someone to make it their baby17:41
wxlotherwise it ends up being as chaotic as the wiki17:41
wxlit needs to be systematic, like we need to have x and y and z and then we call out for contributions to those items17:41
tsimonq2my stance is that I would love to step up, it should just be until we have someone else that is willing to step up17:42
tsimonq2so I'm willing to put a lot of work into it17:42
wxlit's hard to do multiple jobs at once really17:42
wxli know you have the energy for it17:42
wxlbut what about time, especially with school looming on the horizon?17:42
tsimonq2well it shouldn't be high-maintenance with the little changes that happens to Lubuntu packages :P17:43
wxlit's all the work to get everything documented17:43
wxli mean, really our documentation is terrible17:43
tsimonq2well I think there just needs to be an initial push17:44
wxlit's wide in scope and detail but misses a lot of fundamentals17:44
tsimonq2once we have that push and something to work with, it's just a matter of updating it every six months17:44
wxlyeah i think the biggest challenge will be the former issue17:44
tsimonq2I'm willing to do most of that work17:44
wxland i don't think that will be a thing that happens in days, but in weeks, maybe months17:45
tsimonq2I'm willing to say weeks17:45
wxlcan you write me out a *detailed* proposal of what you plan to do?17:45
wxli'd like to see a table of contents included in that17:45
wxlmake a whole outline for the whole thing if you want to really wow me17:46
tsimonq2sure, give me an hour or two17:46
ac2if I had more technical knowledge I would love to help you guys out17:46
wxlac2: we're just talking about documentation, so i doubt it needs much17:46
ac2how big is the development group for lubuntu17:46
tsimonq2small17:46
tsimonq2very small17:46
wxltsimonq2: we also need like "for dummies" level instructions on how to contribute17:47
tsimonq2ac2: we have me and wxl, then two more people with positions (Rafael on artwork and Julien on coding), then two more people that help us test regularly17:47
tsimonq2wxl: yeah, good idea17:47
wxlwe have lots of little community contributions, but those are the consistent ones17:47
ac2what kind of testing is involved?17:47
tsimonq2ac2: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing17:48
wxlac2: basically using a virtual machine, following some steps, and reporting it as pass or fail. pretty simple stuff.17:48
ac2hah that exactly what I'm trying to do17:48
tsimonq2ac2: iso.qa.ubuntu.com will help ;)17:49
wxlthe hardest part is simply following the formal process17:49
wxlbut that's also the easy part XD17:49
tsimonq2wxl: so a detailed proposal for the Lubuntu Manual or for docs in general?17:49
wxltsimonq2: for now, the manual17:49
tsimonq2processes etc.17:49
tsimonq2alright17:49
wxltsimonq2: i think if you achieve a modicum of success, mybe we'll make you team leader, with the intention that you would create a larger proposal for docs to in turn hand off to a new leader17:50
tsimonq2wxl: good idea17:51
wxlac2: you're welcome to join the team. there are no requirements. your help would be most appreciated.17:53
ac2wxl: ya really want to test out the DE, using virtualbox18:06
ac2wxl: although still scratching my head on this gpg sig verification, getting "BAD signature" readouts18:08
wxlac2: gpg can be difficult. it's sensitive to non-printing characters.18:09
tsimonq2wxl: he's looking to verify the ISO18:09
wxltsimonq2: well it SOUNDS like he wants to verify the hashes18:09
wxlac2: did you get the keys specified when you tried to verify the gpg against the hashes from the keyserver?18:10
wxlac2: maybe repeating your steps might be helpful18:11
tsimonq2wxl: add me to https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-wiki-docs please?18:14
wxldoner18:14
tewardwxl: it seems to me like he's trying to do what Debian does and have GPG-signatures they can verify the ISOs against18:15
tsimonq2thanks wxl18:15
tewardrather than 'verify the hashes'18:15
tewardunless the hashes are GPG Signed18:15
wxlthey are18:15
wxlif you look at the instructions..18:15
tewardwxl: E:LimitedInternetAccessDueToDNSBreakage18:15
tewardbut i believe you're right18:15
ac2wxl: I grabbed the SHA256SUMS.gpg key from ubuntu 16.04 which outputed  0xFBB75451 0xEFE2109218:16
tewardi just can't find the sigs on the server18:16
wxlteward: E:GetYourCrapFixedDudeAndQuitComplainingSheesh18:16
tewardwxl: E:StopYellingItsMyISPsFault18:16
tsimonq2XD18:16
wxlteward: E:YeahRightAndWhyTheHellAreWeTalkingLikeThisANyways18:16
tewardwxl: Kernel Panic: process `wxl` tried to kill SystemD, dying... *hard freeze*18:16
tsimonq2XD18:16
wxli'm going to hard freeze you.18:16
tewardANYWAYS18:17
tsimonq2hahahahahaa18:17
wxlac2: did you verify the signatures?18:17
ac2wxl: which i downloaded from ubuntu's keyserver but when verified agianst the iso, i get "bad signature"18:17
wxlac2: did you check those keys and that they are ubuntu's though?18:18
wxlgpg --list-keys --with-fingerprint 0xFBB75451 0xEFE2109218:18
wxlac2: and how are you trying to chgeck the iso?18:20
ac2wxl: the fingerprints match from the ubuntu website18:21
wxlbasically the process is this:18:21
wxl1. get the iso, SUMS, SUMS.gpg18:21
wxl2. verify SUMS with SUMS.gpg18:21
wxl3. if missing keys, get keys18:21
wxl4. check fingerprints of keys18:21
wxl5. verify SUMS with SUMS.gpg18:22
wxl6. check SUMS against iso18:22
wxlif you already have a degree of trust with ubuntu, the only necessary part of that is #6.18:22
wxl#1-5 is necessary to prove that the SUMS were generated by who they say they are, i.e. ubuntu18:23
wxlif i was a malicious entity, perhaps i could modify the SUMS with values of my own liking that are consistent with malicious files that i put on the server and made appear like the isos18:23
wxlhowever, i would not be able to gpg encode those SUMS with someone else's private key18:24
ac2wxl: ahah right, alright give me moment to double check my steps here18:26
wxlso one of two things would happen in this case. either i would gpg encode with my own key and put my key in place. this would cause no signature failure, and it might show the right text (Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key) etc. but the fingerprint would be wrong. or the hope would be that no one would verify the SUMS with the gpg key, in which case, there'd be a bad signature18:27
wxlone thing that may cause problems is if you copy and paste the SUMS or SUMS.gpg from the web. better to just download18:27
wxl</gpg lesson>18:28
ac2wxl: its step six that isn't working, and it could be that the sums I have are for just ubuntu 16.04 and not lubuntu cause I don't receive any "ok" on the iso18:33
wxlpastebin me the sums you're using18:34
ac2wxl: http://pastebin.com/yW3myMhd18:38
ac2wait pasted the wrong on18:39
ac2wxl: sorry had to generate a new one http://pastebin.com/pBpcSByz18:45
wxlac2: none of those are applicable to any lubuntu images. if you can't grep the file and find lubuntu in there, it won't work. neither will this work for xubuntu, kubuntu, netboot, etc.18:46
ac2thats what I figured18:47
ac2wxl: where do you get the appropriate files for lubuntu18:48
wxlac2: did you download from lubuntu.me?18:48
ac2yes18:49
ac2wait i think i found it18:49
ac2http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04/release/18:49
wxlif you grab one of the links you can back up one level18:49
wxlyep18:49
wxlyou figured it out18:49
wxltsimonq2: think we should add a link to sums?18:50
ac2haha yes indeed18:50
tsimonq2wxl: yeah18:50
ac2hahaha yes please18:51
wxltsimonq2: you want to do that? :)18:53
tsimonq2wxl: WE DID IT18:56
tsimonq2wxl: STGRABER MERGED18:56
tsimonq2:D18:56
ac2what do you guys recommend as min requirements for virtualbox?18:56
wxlyay!18:56
wxlac2: whatever vbox recommends.18:56
wxlyou need to have enough memory for everything you have running on your machine plus whatever memory you're going to allocate to your vm18:57
wxllubuntu's min requirements can be as low as 25618:57
wxlthat being said, you could have 512 and be fine18:57
ac2verry nice, looking forward to making it apart of my workflow19:01
wxltsimonq2: um, are you going to take care of those SUMS links?19:03
tsimonq2aorry19:03
tsimonq2*sorry19:03
tsimonq2doing now19:03
tsimonq2which page?19:03
tsimonq2and what am I linking?19:03
wxlmaybe to the main directory19:04
tsimonq2argh you know what needs to be done better than I do, can you do it please?19:04
wxlwith a link of instructions on how to verify19:04
wxloh fine19:04
wxlmake me log in19:04
* wxl grumbles19:04
lynorianI was working on one on launchpad but it was all by myself and someone was like we will be switching to lxqt soon this is a waste of time19:09
tsimonq2lynorian: whatever, I'm doing it anyways :P19:10
tsimonq2don't forget LTS releases!19:10
lynoriantsimonq2, have any plans for what to write for the lubuntu manual20:08
tsimonq2lynorian: soon20:12
tsimonq2lynorian: it would also help to do it under Sphinx, here's something basic I have: https://github.com/ahoneybun/kubuntu-manual/20:13
lynorianyeah I agree20:15
tsimonq2wait that's not mine :)20:16
tsimonq2lynorian: https://github.com/tsimonq2/lubuntu-manual20:16
lynorianhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgSxGaSy-8s this is a talk from a year ago from that person20:31
tsimonq2I know Aaron :)20:32
* lynorian thinks about writing something similar to software.rst 20:42
tsimonq2wow this spec is taking a long time21:56
tsimonq2but I think this is the hardest part21:57
wxltold you21:57
wxlit's not simple21:57
tsimonq2wxl: it only gets better from here21:57
tsimonq2like I said, this is the hardest part21:57
tsimonq2the rest is easy and fun ;)21:57
tsimonq2wxl: and be quiet :P21:58
tsimonq2I'm up to 3 pages already!21:58
tsimonq2wxl: GLOBAL IS OUT23:30
tsimonq2wxl: permission to release?23:30
