sakrecoereylul, zequence: while i have no problem with the grey and the blue being redefined, i'd like to remind you it would be the third time you look them over now :)08:04
sakrecoerdoesn't mean it is not worth a 3rd try though obviously08:06
sakrecoereylul: i was bored, so i did this: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/websitebackgrounds-license/08:15
sakrecoerthe license of the images are included.08:15
sakrecoernow, feel free to just disregard those, and go with your own flow :)08:15
sakrecoeri'm still working on the graphics one... not sure i will have it done in time tbh08:16
eylulthanks sakrecoer08:17
sakrecoerwould perhaps be nice with the mandelbulb vibe of geirdal, but i don't have any such images rendered out atm08:19
eylulactually I wouldn't be against dropping that08:19
eyluland making the image less busy 08:19
eylulI was going to go with a piano and earphones photo for audio but this looks good :D08:20
eylulsakrecoer: are these your modified renders?08:20
eylulas in did you modify these renders on blender?08:20
sakrecoeryes, i replaced logos and moved camera arround, fideled with render compositing..08:21
sakrecoerbut eylul, please, if you do have time: try those photos!08:21
sakrecoer:)08:21
eylulI will!08:21
eylulI as going to suggest if we go with your renders08:21
eylulmaybe make the texts/labels that are white, closer to the color of the background of whatever they are sitting on08:22
sakrecoereylul: as in less contrast?08:22
sakrecoerwhy not :)08:22
eylulyes08:22
eylullets try that ok meanwhile let me dig my camera out08:23
sakrecoeri might as well tell you all now: my family is taking me on a trip from friday-sunday this week for my birfday. so i wont be much arround..08:25
sakrecoerreading the list though, of course.08:25
eyluloh! well 1) have a fun trip! 2) lets try to get website progressing somewhat before then then. :D08:25
sakrecoeryes :)08:26
* eylul is walking around the room taking pictures08:28
* sakrecoer imagine eylul has 8 arms :D08:30
sakrecoerhehe... i'm doing this wrong: topic in OT, OT in topic08:30
eylulhah we all fail at that08:32
eylulif anybody has a proper videocam, and can snap a picture of it let us know? otherwise we'll go with either sakrecoer's or my solutions *chuckles*08:32
sakrecoereylul: "it" being...? stuff related to Audio, Video and Graphics i presume :p?08:34
sakrecoerchamois: yes, this is a good place to ask question about developement :)08:35
eylulvideo specifically08:35
eylulI think both of our photos covers graphics and audio work flows enough. 08:36
sakrecoeroh.. i thought the camera was for video.. :D08:36
sakrecoermaybe this one works better for video: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/websitebackgrounds-license/video2.png08:38
eylulit is!08:38
sakrecoerless obvious that it is a DSLR.. although, i reckon most homevideos are shot with DSLR now adays..08:38
sakrecoereylul: it is what is what? :D08:38
eylulthe camera picture of yours, for video08:39
eylulbut I figured a more proper videocam could be better, IF somebody has one08:39
* eylul uses her cellphone to do most things these days08:39
sakrecoerah! :) i understand what you mean. But we yet have to figure something or graphics.08:39
sakrecoer*For graphics08:39
sakrecoerit isn't exaclty covered...08:40
sakrecoeri have a modeled a pencil in blender..08:40
chamoisDo you have any suggestion for the features to show in the video?08:40
sakrecoer(for graphics) but i have quite some fiddleing to do before i can render it08:40
sakrecoerchamois: yes, it should cover our mainworkflows: Audio, Video and Grapphics08:41
sakrecoerthose "are" the features: with ubuntu studio, you should be set up to produce media in those 3 workflows08:41
sakrecoerof couse, it would be interesting to find a way to emphasise FOSS dimension08:42
sakrecoerchamois: this is the static version of the feature tour: http://www.ubuntustudio.zequence.net/08:43
sakrecoerif you scroll down..08:43
sakrecoer(maybe a button that links to an anchor on the page would be good, eylul ? ) its easy to miss that the page goes way down)08:43
sakrecoereylul: nevermind that for now, i will put those details properly in reply to your excellent email :)08:48
eylulI have graphics covered I think08:50
eylulimages incoming in a few minutes08:50
chamois"FOSS"?08:52
sakrecoerchamois: Free Open Source Software08:55
chamoisok thanks08:56
sakrecoerryl guys o/08:57
eylulbye sakrecoer08:57
eylulsakrecoer: http://ubuntustudio.azbulutlu.org/websiteImages/ 15:07
zequencesakrecoer: Start by using the built-in function for apt: sudo apt-get build-dep fontmanager15:28
zequenceOh, was an old comment. I seem to have scrolled all the windows15:29
sakrecoerzequence: :) it happens to me too sometimes !17:31
sakrecoereylul: i love it! the composition is great! my favourite is the graphics one. My only concern is that i see lots of finger fat and dirt on the tablet (and on the lens of your mobile)17:33
eylulhahah17:33
eylulI can probably redo the graphics one17:33
sakrecoereylul: if it isn't too much hustle, i'd like that a lot! just wipe the tablet clean and you are there17:34
eylulhow do you see that there is dirt on the lens of my mobile, one has to ask? 17:34
eylulthe tablet I get, that's my intuos which hasn't been used in ages ;D17:35
sakrecoerit gets "milky".. there is like form of... ghost/fog glare.17:35
eylulthat is not actually the lens issue17:36
eylulthe image in question was.. over exposed a bit. did you check the tinted versions btw? because that's ultimately what we will use in background17:36
sakrecoerwell, try to clean it, and you will see a lot of difference... its a hard task because they get very greasy from the hand and dusty from the pocket/bag17:37
sakrecoersorry i missed the tinted ones17:37
sakrecoeryeah! works much better17:38
eylul*nods*17:38
sakrecoerin that light the dirt actualy give it character17:38
sakrecoerlike it is actualy being used17:38
eylulheheh17:38
krytarikzequence: Just changed the default theme to Numix Blue, as well as merged -lightdm-theme into -default-settings along the way - can you please reupload these two?17:38
eylulyup17:38
sakrecoeri think, your audio background, tinted, works better than mine. graphics is cool! but i prefer the video with my image and your tint.17:39
sakrecoerkrytarik: \o/ <317:40
eylulyeah my video image didn't work at ALL with tint, so I didn't even bother uploading it, its there to complete the set, that's all. ;D I don't know I am torn between my audio one and yours17:40
sakrecoerif you could just try clean the tablet for the graphics one a litle bit.. hehe... or fake it :p17:41
sakrecoeris just... the glossyness of the tablet, could be.... sharper/cleaner17:41
sakrecoereylul: if i have to be honnest to myself, i think your audio and my audio are equal, but yours says more "computer music"17:42
eylulI wonder if yours might work if you rendered it from another angle and removed the text on shiny area17:42
eylulI am thinking purely from a "this will be a background" aesthethic17:42
eyluland re graphics, I'll retake the picture tomorrow17:43
sakrecoeri can try that :)17:43
eylulbut yeah agreed, with video I think your thing is the best we have currently, unless somebody has a brilliant idea. 17:44
eylul(or actually actual dedicated video gear they can photograph)17:44
zequencekrytarik: We need to have ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme dropped from the archive then17:52
krytarikzequence: Not yet, it's a transition.17:53
zequencekrytarik: Well, we have two packages that add the same file, don't we?17:53
zequenceI can of course upload -lightdm-theme as well, to make sure that doesn't happen17:55
zequenceBut, not sure that's going to work perfectly as things are now. binary form  of -lightdm-theme seems to be an empty package right now, correct?17:57
krytarikYes - that's how transitioning a package works.17:58
zequencekrytarik: Why are you removing lightd-theme, as a package, btw?17:58
zequenceRight, it depend on -default-settings. Now, I see. But, still. Why is the theming not separate anymore?17:59
zequenceNot an immensly big deal, but what if someone wants to install just the the theming?18:01
krytarik...What if one just wants to grab the Xfwm theme?18:02
zequenceWell, if you want to clean things up, why not make sure theming is separate then?18:03
zequence(if something is not installable by itself, I mean - which I don't know if that is true=18:05
zequenceBesides, why would -lightdm-theme want to bring in -default-settings? Again, probably less then 10 people who will be bothered by that, but still18:13
sakrecoerzequence, krytarik: i'd rather not split the themeing up into many packages. the plan is to get numix blue into debian as soon as possible anyway, so those who want just that, can either use the source or wait just a little more.18:20
zequencesakrecoer: numix blue is already in our own archive, just not set as default for Ubuntu Studio. But, now there was another change. Our lightdm theme was merged into our -default-settings. -lightdm-theme remains as a transitional package which now depends on -default-settings (none of that uploaded yet)18:22
zequenceThere's no sense in making a theme pull in ubuntustudio-default-settings18:23
zequenceIt's not the kind of change that will blow up peoples computers, but I need to know why this would be reasonable before I upload18:23
sakrecoerzequence: we set light-dm in -default-settings, don't we?18:26
zequencesakrecoer: Not the lightdm look. Only the ubuntustudio session, which is a separate thing18:28
DalekSeczequence: ...From what I see the lightdm package contained one config file, so not really a theme at all, just some config which is why it'd make perfect sense to have it in -settings, and since there is no theme in the package calling it '-lightdm-theme' is a misnomer.18:28
zequenceDalekSec: The binary package ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme would pull in the theming needed, and set that for lightdm18:30
DalekSecSo, having basically a metapackage for a lightdm theme?  Seems a bit much.18:31
DalekSec(I presume you know about lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings)18:31
zequenceDalekSec: Yes, but making a theme pull in our -default-settings makes no sense18:33
zequenceIf one want to merge the lightd theme with -settings - fine. But, then remove the original package all togethjer18:33
zequenceMaking it transitional makes no sense18:33
zequenceWe have things like grub configs, swappiness changes, etc18:34
zequenceThat doesn't seem to relate with theming18:34
zequenceSo, I would recommend waiting with such a change until next cycle, when we are not post FF18:35
zequenceIt doesn't improve anything. Rather the opposite18:35
zequenceAnd, how does that work, anyway? When an old package is removed, but a new one will install the same file? Does that conflict somehow?18:37
zequence..between upgrades, that is18:37
sakrecoeri'm confused... is it -settings that pull in lightdm or light-dm that pulls in settings?18:38
DalekSeczequence: I just don't really see how it degrades anything, though yeah past FF isn't the ideal time.  Package a is installed while package b isn't, package a depends on package b while package b sets breaks/replaces on the older version of package a that contained the file(s).  Standard transition, no?18:40
zequenceDalekSec: -lightdm-theme is an installable package, by itself. It's a package that provides lightdm-theming. Now, it provides -default-settings18:41
zequenceI think it depends on what you mean by degrade18:42
* DalekSec shrugs.18:42
zequenceIt changes from being a theming package to being a ubuntustudio-default-settings package with all sorts of settings that are not in any way related to lightdm18:42
zequenceNow, I picture only a handful people may be in that situation. But, for me, that doesn't matter. It's matter of logic and sense.18:43
zequenceSo, again, what is the reason to this change? What is the improvement? If someone can tell me that in a way that makes sense, I can make the upload.18:44
zequenceOtherwise, I would rather the lightdm-theme merge was reverted, and I can upload the part which makes the new theme default18:46
krytarikzequence: #6 here - https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition18:51
zequencekrytarik: Yes, but this is not about package transition. You are transitioning a theme into something else18:52
zequenceThis reminds me of file renaming18:53
sakrecoeri see 2 in favour and 1 against.19:05
zequencesakrecoer: It's not vote. I do the uploads, and if I feel a change is bad, and you can't convince me with a single argument why it is good, then you're out of luck19:06
zequenceYou can always try with someone else19:06
zequenceI'm not the only one with upload rights in the Ubuntu community, after all19:06
zequenceWhat I would like to see is the argument. There has been none, so far.19:07
zequenceThe majority is quite often not right, which I'm sure you are all aware of.19:07
zequenceAnyway, I'll be in touch19:08
sakrecoerzequence: isn't DalekSec argument valid to you? i'm not putting up a vote, i'm just trying to understand and seeing 2 in favour and one against19:16
sakrecoerzequence: but sure, it's your choice to decide what to do with your upload powers19:17
zequencesakrecoer: I don't see a definitive argument for. More of a "why not", but not "this is why"19:25
zequenceOvenWerks: Didn't you often propagate for a separate settings for audio configs?19:26
zequenceThis is also something that could be separated, in fact.19:26
zequenceThe whole thing is a soup.19:26
zequencesakrecoer: Also, I already gave my reason for why not plenty of times.19:27
OvenWerkszequence: My main argument for a new theme would be:19:27
OvenWerks1) big enough "handles" that they are actually grabable without fiddling19:28
OvenWerks2) title bar very oviously shows which window has focus.19:29
zequenceOvenWerks: Right, but we were talking about a merge between -lightdm-theme and -defailt-settings, where a transitional package of -lightdm-theme would depend on -default-settings19:29
OvenWerksIn my opinion greybird does not do these things.19:29
zequenceThe new theme is already in19:29
OvenWerksAh19:29
zequenceAnd, the changes to -default-settings where that theme is made default are already in19:30
zequenceBut, there's an additional change19:30
OvenWerksI don't see any reason to merge19:30
OvenWerkshaving separate packages allows easier changes.19:30
zequenceAnd, beyond that, if you make -lightdm-theme a transitional package, suddenly depending on -default-settings, you make a theme package bring in ubuntustudio-default-settings for no apparent reason19:31
OvenWerksIf the theme is unique to Studio, it should be ubuntustudio-theme.19:32
OvenWerkszequence: right.19:32
krytarikzequence: For the reason that the user who supposedly only has the LightDM theming installed, keeps it.19:33
OvenWerkskrytarik: ??19:34
OvenWerksthen -desktop should depend on it.19:34
zequencekrytarik: Keeps it, and gets something else that they may not have bargained for.19:35
zequenceSee, this is why we communicate. To make sure things go right19:36
OvenWerkszequence: is there a reason to not set cpu governor to Performance or at least add that to -controls?19:37
zequenceOvenWerks: I would not mind adding that to -controls, but I haven't had the motivation or time for that yet.19:37
OvenWerks:) understood.19:38
zequenceCan someone please just tell me why this merge is so damn important, that it overshadows everything else on this planet, and no one is willing to back down a single bit.19:39
* OvenWerks is not very good at python...19:39
zequenceIt's getting ridiculous.19:39
zequenceEither you want the package to be right. Or, you want to be right. It's no the same thing19:40
zequenceYou know "==" and "!="19:40
zequence..as related to the package19:40
zequenceActually...19:41
OvenWerksseparate packages allows one of them to be rcomends19:41
OvenWerksThat makes it easier to replace one with another19:42
zequenceI'm totally through with this bullshit. So, get yourself another uploader.19:42
zequenceI'm not not doing another one for Studio again. In fact, I'm leaving the whole scene19:43
zequenceIt's too bad I wasnt' able to do that earlier, but I had to do this thankless shit because no one else was able to19:43
zequenceSo, please, be able, from now, ok?19:44
zequenceMy whole project lead period was because no one else was willing to do it, pretty much19:44
zequence3 fucking years19:44
zequenceOvenWerks: I'll probably pop into ardour now and then. For the rest of you, see you when I see you19:45
sakrecoerwhat happened? i was on the phone.. am i not seeing someones chats?19:56
eylulno clue I just walked into this as well19:59
zequenceI've dropped out of all the teams. I made sakrecoer the owner of the core LP team, so he now controls all of launchpad stuff as far as Ubuntu Studio goes. It's up to you guys now. Don't spend your time renaming files...22:42
