damo22does ubuntustudio strip out pulseaudio yet?09:48
sakrecoerhey guys. looks like i will be late :/ still on this train, and i'm not sure my battery will last until 19UTC... worst case scenario i'll be reading the logs...18:47
sakrecoergah... "guys"... have to drop that habit to call everyone and everything "guys"18:48
sakrecoer:) looks like many of us are here! 19:00
sakrecoertheoretically i have 30 more minutes of battery..19:00
eylulhi19:01
sakrecoero/19:01
sakrecoershould we wait some minutes to see if cfhowlett makes it?19:01
sakrecoerOvenWerks, you arround?19:02
eylul3 more minutes then start if everybody else is here. then if he comes in, he can join in. 19:02
eylulso while we are waiting. what are the items for today?19:03
eylul1) website19:03
eylul2) krita/godot packages (not a lot of stuff there this week) 19:03
eylul3) status updates on other things? 19:03
sakrecoersounds good! :)19:04
sakrecoerkrytarik: you know how to operate meetingology ?19:04
eylul(also hi Rosco2!)19:04

Rosco2HI all19:06
sakrecoero/ Rosco2 :)19:06
sakrecoerlets begin then...19:07
sakrecoer1) website... it seems my poking in RT gave 0 effect...19:07
eylulack19:08
sakrecoermy impression is that : either we make it funky like they do, or nothing will ever happen....19:08
sakrecoeri wanted to investigate in what other flavour is planning on using the community child theme, and coordinate a "bigger" poke...19:09
sakrecoerbut.. i haven't been able to find th time necessary...19:10
eylulsakrecoer are you ok with continuing to take the initiative on that? 19:11
sakrecoerinitiative on poking RT?19:12
eylulyeah and checking in with other distros...19:13
eylul:)19:13
sakrecoeri mean, i'm the least suited person to speak about wordpress issues...19:14
* eylul looks at Krytarik19:14
eylul:D19:14
krytarikHonestly, I'm not sure what more we can do at this point - as I said in the last meeting, we need at least *some* sort of reaction from them on the ticket.19:16
eylul*nods*19:16
Rosco2ANyone have a link to the ticket?19:16
eylulrosco2: https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=2902819:17
Rosco2Thanks - no luck logging in19:19
eylulyeah.. I can't login either19:19
eylullogin server hiccup?19:19
Rosco2Not that I could help - just trying to undrestand what we need19:19
eylulRosco2: the wordpress install does something unusual with theme folders, in a way that theme dependencies break19:20
Rosco2Thanks19:21
sakrecoeri can poke around, not as regularily ias i used to, but sure19:21
eylulso either we adjust to their system, or ask them to follow how normal wordpress installs work. except sakrecoer emailed them twice on ticket about which route they prefer us to do.. 19:21
eyluland we have been waiting for an answer. :) 19:21
eylulI would still go with our last week's idea of if we don't hear back we just do one of the workarounds19:22
eylullike lets give it a bit more time but... like put a deadline on this. 19:22
sakrecoereylul: yes at this point i think so too... but we risk having to do it over again when they decide to go standard... lol19:22
eylulif we do the path thing, it literally is 2 line of code19:23
sakrecoerwhaat?19:23
eylulif we do the option krytarik was mentioning he preferred (and it works) it literally is changing a line on the css19:23
eylulif it breaks we can very quickly fix it19:23
sakrecoerthat sounds perfect! at least for now!19:23
sakrecoerwhats the catch? 19:24
eylulthe catch is that if they change the system, it does break19:24
eyluluntil we fix it and submit the fix. 19:24
eylulthat's pretty much the only catch19:24
sakrecoerhaha... that is probably why they are reluctant to fix it in the first palce: many sites will go borked19:25
eylulpossibly19:25
eylulso what deadline do we put on this? (I want us to have time for at least check-ins, especially since we have rosco2 here)19:25
sakrecoerhmm... so it does make a lot of sense to try steer up some coordinated movement...19:25
sakrecoertuesday 13th december19:26
sakrecoerwait... i was thinking 3 weeks...19:26
eylulsakrecoer: frankly I think we are the only ones not using knome's default theme as it is. 19:26
sakrecoer20th...19:26
eyluleither we do 13th, or after christmas I'd say. 19:27
sakrecoerok 13th19:27
eylullets be realistic nobody will be answering tickets around holidays. as it should be ;)19:27
sakrecoeri thought we were using knome's theme...19:27
sakrecoerdidn't we remove that plugin in the end?19:27
eylulwe are making a child theme with changes to it. 19:28
eylulit has nothing to do with plugin19:28
eylulrefer to my summary last week ;)19:28
sakrecoerye... well.. i didn't say anything about not using knome's theme..19:28
sakrecoer*it didn't say anything about that19:28
sakrecoeranyways ok..19:28
eylulwe are the only ones with a child theme from what I can tell, everybody else is using knome's theme's default settings19:29
eylulok so Dec 13, then we move on. 19:29
eylulany other issues and discussions on website? 19:29
krytarikMove on to what exactly?19:29
eylulpackage, if ovenwerks is here anything he might be working on19:30
eylulwe do have a new person who came to irc asking for tasks19:30
eylulanything rosco2 has been working off (also I do have a question for rosco2: can we add snap packages to the default iso?)19:30
eylulworking on*19:31
Rosco2Been mainly working in Debian19:31
Rosco2SOft freeze coming 5th Dece19:31
eylul*nods*19:32
Rosco2I think we could produce snaps and add them to the store19:32
Rosco2How we get them on the ISO - I don't know19:32
Rosco2I was hoping to play with them some more when doing backports19:33
eylul*nods*19:33
Rosco2The demos I have seen don't deal with dependencies19:33
eylulwell Krita already compiles it on snap19:34
Rosco2Need to dig into that area to understand how we would snap something like ardour19:34
Rosco2If upstream have already done it for us - great :-)19:34
eylul:D19:34
eylulyeah an ardour snap would definitely be interesting!19:34
Rosco2I will dig deepr at some point - just need more time19:35
eylul*nods* don't we all19:36
eylul:D19:36
Rosco2We need to triage some of the ubuntustudio- * package bugs19:36
eylulright19:36
Rosco2I went through the us-meta ones, there loads of out of date bugs19:36
Rosco2Then I plan to tidy up the default-settings package after we only half did the original plan last release19:37
eylulactually rosco2: do you think you can prioritize the default-settings package? (unless sakrecoer and krytarik disagrees)19:39
eylulI mean triaging bugs is probably something we can all do, but that one is harder to sort out19:39
eylul(maybe next week's meeting we can make a party of it, and go through bugs)19:40
Rosco2Yes - but I wanted to try and fix as many bugs as possible with one upload19:40
eylulah19:40
Rosco2In any case I will try and prepare it before Christmas - probably after the 5th19:41
eylulplease tell us what we can do to help?19:41
Rosco2Will do.19:42
eylulok19:42
eylulthanks!19:43
eylul:)19:43
Rosco2Once I know :-) Need to relook at all the commits19:43
eylul*nods* fair enough. 19:44
eylulmeanwhile I'll continue to slowly follow the trail of the debian queue to see what is holding krita package stuck there. its not QUITE what I expected to do when I volunteered to learn packaging but hey! not complaining19:45
Rosco2That one's fun - we have got into a bit of a mess19:46
eylulhow so?19:46
Rosco2We don't get the package from Debian19:47
Rosco2There is an epoch in the version19:47
eylulyeah I did talk to the kubuntu team19:47
Rosco2And krita seems to be moving/has move from one source package to anoother19:48
eylulyeah19:49
eylulwell I think the thing is krita had some dependencies from calligra before, but now that the project is becoming more independent, it makes sense to package it separately?19:49
Rosco2IS that what Debian are doing?19:50
Rosco2Ideal if they are19:50
eylulthat's what QT/kde packaging team is doing19:50
Rosco2Excellent19:51
eylulbut yeah krita has been developed more independently recently, they had 2 successful kickstarters19:51
eylulbut yeah the package is stuck on new queue for 2 months. 19:51
Rosco2Aah - needs to be approved by the 5th or it is too late19:52
eylul*sighs* hey! if you know somebody you can nag as well?19:52
Rosco2Then we will be waiting until MArch or so19:52
eyluloh dear19:53
Rosco266 packages in new19:53
eylulRosco2: if you have any contacts on debian who can help us it would be great. (if not, we have options: namely ubuntu repos, apparently, and I am still hopeful about getting snap into ISO: I mean ubuntu core must be doing it somehow)19:54
Rosco2Probably they all take the easy one first19:54
eylul*nods*19:54
eylul(also apparently we lost sakrecoer to the train)19:54
Rosco2:-)19:55
eylulI get that but at some point somebody needs to get the hard ones too. ;)19:56
eylulits not like this is some obscure package, its only one of the 3 most commonly used open source graphic software ;D19:56
Rosco2It depends what shape the copyrights & licenses are in19:56
Rosco2The bigger the package, the longer it takes to review19:57
eylul*nods*19:57
eylulrosco2: is this a time that works for you reasonably well?19:59
Rosco2Yeah - just about perfect19:59
Rosco2Krita is targeted for experimentaal as well20:00
eylulgood. so if this works for everybody else as well, we might use this.20:00
eylul*nods*20:00
eylulhow does that affect things?20:00
Rosco2SO it would require a manual sync from there once it is accepted into the archive20:00
* eylul is asking more to learn20:00
eylulah20:00
OvenWerkssorry just got here20:00
eylulhi OvenWerks20:01
Rosco2HI Len20:01
eylulwe are about to wrap up but do you have any updates?20:01
OvenWerksjust found out that cpu governor startu has changed20:01
OvenWerks*startup20:01
eyluloh??20:01
eylulhow so? and link?20:01
OvenWerksand it is much easier to default to performance20:02
OvenWerksI would like to add a file to /etc/defaults/ to do that.20:02
* eylul starts putting some of the things discussed into the whiteboard20:03
Rosco2Would that be part of us-control Len?20:03
OvenWerksI was just looking at the cpu freq file in /etc/init.d/ when I found it20:03
OvenWerks-default-settings I was thinking20:04
Rosco2OK - glad you said because we were thinking of dropping that package20:04
OvenWerksit seems running in performance all the time doesn't make much (if any) differemce to the cpu temp... and therefore battery use.20:04
Rosco2At the moment it only contains desktop settings20:04
OvenWerksno, unless someone has changed things it has some other system setup20:05
OvenWerks(swappiness for example)20:05
Rosco2OK - I will double check20:05
OvenWerksunless some of thesethings were broken out into another settings package.20:06
Rosco2possibly20:07
Rosco2I remember previous blueprints asking for changes to us-controls to do with audio preformance20:08
Rosco2I will dig20:08
eylulok so wait20:09
eylulI never actually had a chance to ask this one clearly, are we planning to write controls from scratch20:09
eylulor modify what exists20:09
Rosco2I don't reaaly know - it was Kai that was looking into it20:09
eylulwell20:10
eylulconsidering two of you are the ones who will likely do short term changes to it20:10
eylulwhat do you want to do20:10
eylul?20:10
Rosco2Go with what's there of course :-)20:10
eylulI mean putting default file to set laptops to performance is already slightly scary move :)20:10
OvenWerksI have heard that performance helps video as well20:11
eylulperformance helps everything20:11
eyluluntil you get a power outage20:11
eylul:D20:11
eylul(yes those things still happen :P)20:11
OvenWerksare you aware that in our kernel ondemand is no longer supported?20:12
OvenWerksThey are using something else b y default now last I chanecked.20:12
eylul*nods*20:12
OvenWerksI have also heard that ondemand uses more battery than performance20:12
eylulits powersaving by default? (I think?)20:12
OvenWerkspowersave sounds right.20:13
eylul*nods*20:13
eylulI am not against the idea of making performance default20:13
eylulit would be nice to have a way to switch it off as user preference through20:13
OvenWerksI have just done so on this laptop :)20:13
eyluland have people test it on beta to make sure the whole: no really it doesn't change the overheating much, is actually true for multiple people20:14
OvenWerksswitching live takes a setroot appliaction20:14
eylulisn't us-controls already that through?20:14
OvenWerksor polkit setup20:14
OvenWerksI think it uses polkit for somethings, but doesn't run as root... I could be wrong20:15
eylulI see20:16
Rosco2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/FeatureDefinitions/UbuntuStudioControls20:16
OvenWerksany new applications are _supposed_ to only goto root for what needs it not the whole application (like synaptic is wrong)20:16
Rosco2Was just reading the feature definition20:16
eylulhttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntustudio-z-development (adding stuff here)20:16
OvenWerksArdour 5.5 should be out next month.20:17
eylulrosco2, ovenWerks: maybe at some point we should sit down and go over this so that we can actually start working on it?20:18
eylulI know there is at least 2 things I want to add to this: per application profiles (long term goal), and wacom settings. (short term goal)20:18
Rosco2https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xjadeo/+bug/163940920:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1639409 in xjadeo (Ubuntu) "Please move xjadeo to universe" [Undecided,New]20:19
eylulwell integrating existing wacom settings solution20:19
Rosco2Apparently that is currently blocking Ardour 5.420:19
OvenWerksTo me that is what -settings is for Adding settings that are for graphics/audio/video20:20
OvenWerksArdour doesn't _have_ to have xjadeo, but it is one of the better ways of doing the job.20:21
* eylul has totally missed it. *facepalm*20:21
eylul(btw I'll step out at half past)20:22
OvenWerksPart of the blender->ardour with xjdadeo workflow.20:23
Rosco2Apparently it is only one of the archive managers with super powers that can move xjadeo to universe20:24
Rosco2I looked to see if I can help - but no20:24
Rosco2Should keep an eye and ping over the next months though20:25
OvenWerksI do have a bash script that can go in /usr/sbin/ that changes cpu governor. I can update it to use performance/powersave rather that ondemand. But I will not have time to figure out -controls.20:27
Rosco2Ok - I will call it quits. Thnks eylul & OvenWerks 20:27
OvenWerksbye20:27
eylulthanks Rosco220:27
eylulOvenWerks, anything else before I go and declare this meeting done?20:28
eylul:)20:28
eylulbtw, just to clarify I am not against setting the default to performance. I do think we do need to keep an eye on betas for any issues with it through20:30
eylul(and at some point we need to start working on us-controls. I was hoping to do that after the package things.. but things got.. interesting)20:30
OvenWerksall I can think of right now.20:32
eylulok20:32
eylulthanks for stopping by. also does our start time work for you?20:32
OvenWerks-controls should be kept in a language most people can work with... probably c++ with fltk would not be good.20:33
eylulheh. I thought there was some discussion of python20:33
OvenWerksthe time should be fine. I just forgot.... and my wife called me to be with her not by the co mputer20:33
eylulah20:34
OvenWerks-controls is in python right now, but I am even worse with python than perl20:34
sakrecoerno i havehey!20:34
sakrecoerhaha20:34
eylulwelcome back sakrecoer20:34
eylul:D20:34
sakrecoeryeah...20:34
eylulwe figured we lost you at the train20:34
eylulOvenwerks: one advantage of python is that you can make guis with it20:35
eylulwhich we can't with perl. 20:35
eylulI am happy to adjust to what you guys use through20:35
OvenWerksperl-tk?20:35
OvenWerksI think it can do gtk as well.20:35
eylul*blinks*20:35
eylul*blinks again*20:35
OvenWerkspythons standard GUI is TK based though.20:35
eylul*nods*20:36
OvenWerksBut I am pretty sure -controls uses gtk.20:36
eylulI personally like QT aesthethic wise but as I said I am really happy to adjust to whatever you guys decide to use. 20:36
eylula lot of new programmers learn python which is why I suggested that but *shrugs*20:37
OvenWerksI have not been able to get anything to work for me with qt so far... I may not be willing to put the time in.. I am learning avtk just now.20:37
eylulah20:38
eylulyeah whatever we chose I'll have to learn gui side from scratch20:38
OvenWerks(based on NTK which is based on fltk20:38
eylulI know a few of these also have gui constructors on repos20:38
eylulso that we can build the guis visually20:38
eylulI think that should be a point in favor for less work to do20:38
eylul(in case there is something that doesn't come with a builder)20:39
* eylul is really getting dated on this topic20:39
eylulok20:40
eylulI really really need to go20:40
eyluland get back to art. but see you next week ovenwerks?20:40
