daftykinscould it be a PPA fiend?01:39

Bashing-omOerHeks: How come this is not making any sense : http://pastebin.com/WyMFH6gc where we have deluge-gtk as a dependency, but ' apt-cache depends deluge-gtk ' says it breaks deluge and even more it replaces deluge ?? Where am I failing to understand ?05:08
OerHeksBashing-om, beats me too, i gave up looking. ppa's and ppa's combo do funny things.05:08
OerHeksnoobslab ppa, or webupd8 ?05:09
OerHeksBashing-om, i learned my lesson these last 3 days, people with ppa-hell >> reinstall, bye, see you in 30 minutes !05:29

lotuspsychjehey ducasse06:58
ducassehi Bashing-om06:58
lotuspsychjecuppa tea here06:58
lotuspsychjeand working day at 12H06:58
ducasseme too - tea is utterly necessary to get started :)06:58
Bashing-omAye .. the passing of the watch :)06:59
Bashing-omducasse: What is it with yalls powers - seems while yall have the morning tea the channel comes to a halt .07:04
ducasseBashing-om: everyone else is having theirs as well? :)07:05
Bashing-omducasse: Well a logical expanation :) else asleep ?07:06
ducasseit _is_ the weekend, so i'm guessing tooday will be slow07:06
ducasse*today07:06
lotuspsychjeunless 17.04 beta users come flood us :p07:07
lotuspsychjehttp://news.softpedia.com/news/entroware-launches-ubuntu-powered-aether-laptop-with-intel-kaby-lake-cpus-513291.shtml07:09
Bashing-omfrom what I see, 17.04 even in beta is solid .07:09
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: did you test already?07:09
lotuspsychje!zesty07:10
ubot5Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) will be the 26th release of Ubuntu.  It is due to be released in April 2017. Discussion in #ubuntu+107:10
ducasselotuspsychje: zesty enters beta today?07:12
lotuspsychjeducasse: beta1 23feb07:12
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: 17.04 about 3 weeks past . Seems mir has some catchup to do . but unity and gome3 are good on AMD platform here .07:12
lotuspsychje Current dev version: Zesty Zapus | Schedule: http://ubottu.com/y/zz07:12
ducassebah - mir :-/ waste of effort, imo.07:13
lotuspsychjereally wondering how still story will end07:13
lotuspsychjethis07:13
ducassemy guess: wayland will eventually 'win'07:14
ducassebut x will be there for years yet07:14
lotuspsychjeas for what i understand, canonical will leave the user to choose if the future will be X or mir07:15
ducasseyes, that's what i heard too. even if canonical wants mir they will be in trouble if devs only choose to support wayland.07:15
ducassegnome supports wayland, as does kde, every other distro adopts wayland and ignores mir, intel refuses to add mir-only patches - it's really not looking good for mir.07:18
lotuspsychjehttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/ubuntu-17-04-beta-1-download07:18
lotuspsychjeducasse: and still phones and snap are deep based on mir plans already reall curious how they will go further07:19
ducasse_that_ is an issue, in my view. i'd love to see ubuntu phones/tablets catch on...07:20
ducassewhat do you mean snap is based on mir?07:20
lotuspsychjeducasse: no i mean phones are mir, and they want the snap system on unity07:20
lotuspsychjealso for desktop07:20
ducasseah - i started to wonder :)07:21
lotuspsychjemy dream scenario would be that ubuntu touch makes a version to get installed on all phones07:22
lotuspsychjeif nothing happens with manufacturers, users will take over themselfs07:22
lotuspsychjei think budgie and mate are also a good example of users taking over07:23
ducasselotuspsychje: have you tested budgie?07:24
lotuspsychjenot yet, but looks promising07:24
ducasseand of course we need another desktop environment - too few to choose from ;)07:25
lotuspsychjelol07:26
ducassewe're getting to the point where it would probably be better for users if the devs focused on making a smaller number of them better...07:29
lotuspsychjeyeah07:30
ducasselotuspsychje: so, are you working the entire weekend?07:31
lotuspsychjeducasse: sunday off :p but next week much work as its holiday07:32
lotuspsychjenot sure how its called in english07:32
lotuspsychjecrocus holiday lol07:33
ducasseme neither :) translated from norwegian it would just be 'winter holiday' :)07:33
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: what time is on your place?07:36
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: it be 01:36 .07:36
lotuspsychjeserious overtime :p07:37
lotuspsychje8h37 here07:37
Bashing-om'bout to my jumping off place .07:38
ducasseBashing-om: well, have a good night's sleep, might see you when you return :)07:39
lotuspsychjeyeah jump back to irc when you finished :p07:39
ducassei need to reboot because systemd is stupid :-(07:40
lotuspsychjelol07:40
ducassemore tea first! :)07:41
ducasselotuspsychje: working all of next week or going away too?07:42
lotuspsychjeworking : (07:42
lotuspsychjealot of tourists at our city in holidays= more kitchen work07:42
ducasseat least that brings in money so you can go away later :)07:43
lotuspsychjelol07:43
lotuspsychjethats optimistic indeed07:44
ducasse:)07:44
lotuspsychjeducasse: they hired someone new in the kitchen, also hope that will give me a few days more07:47
ducasseit's good that they're not too reliant on you, at least, so you can have time off etc07:49
lotuspsychjewell for now, they pretty reliant on me as i started when the business opened07:49
lotuspsychjeideal would be 20h/week07:50
ducassehow much are you working now?07:52
lotuspsychje38+ : (07:52
ducasseso, full time..07:52
lotuspsychjeyep07:53
lotuspsychjeand summer havent started yet07:53
lotuspsychjeoh well hoping on better times :p07:54
lotuspsychjedont wanna nag07:54
ducassewell, at least it brings in money, right?07:54
lotuspsychjeyeah thats the bright part07:55
lotuspsychjeand i also love doing kitchen work also07:55
lotuspsychjemcrt: welcome07:56
lotuspsychjemcrt: think drivers on a linux has been problematic from the start07:56
lotuspsychjemcrt: all we can hope is linux to get bigger and bigger and more support07:57
lotuspsychjemcrt: also newer hardware needs newer hardware support07:58
lotuspsychje*driver07:58
Bashing-ommcrt: If ya tunning a later released card , in good shape ; else AMD and our community still working on a good driver .07:58
Bashing-omrunning*07:58
mcrtright. im dont actually have an amd card, just curious about the issue07:59
Bashing-ommcrt: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2340914#post13561269 ; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2317199#post13540589 .08:00
ducassemcrt: the thing about amd drivers is that amdgpu is very new, it hasn't had time to mature yet. they probably dropped fglrx too early, but i guess they couldn't have that many people working on linux drivers.08:00
mcrtseems like there are patches to make fglrx compile on newer kernels too08:00
ducassemcrt: you also need old x.org08:02
lotuspsychjealkisg: welcome to the club :p08:03
alkisgHello!08:03
alkisgNot sure which topics would go here though...08:03
alkisgI know about #ubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-motu etc etc...08:03
lotuspsychjealkisg: we discussing all new stuff happening to ubuntu08:03
lotuspsychjealkisg: to be a better support in main08:04
alkisgOK, I'll lurk here to see... :)08:04
lotuspsychjegreat!08:04
lotuspsychjebrb scrambled eggs are waiting for me08:04
mcrtducasse: gotcha. im pretty much stuck on xorg-1.9 myself08:07
mcrtfunnily enough this is a laptop that was sold with linux.08:08
ducassein all fairness, older cards with the radeon driver are usually very stable, as opposed to nvidia + nouveau.08:10
mcrtgpu chip on this is intel08:10
mcrtwell, actually powervr08:10
mcrtbut yeah, the machine was originally sold with ubuntu preinstalled...08:12
mcrtthese days even unity fails to run. it's a 7 year old machine though, but still... so much for LTS08:13
ducassemcrt: i'm sure you can get help with that in #ubuntu, alternatively just switch to a lighter desktop08:18
Bashing-omOH Kay ,, here is muy back side , catch up on the flop :)08:21
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: nite nite08:21
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Laters .08:22
mcrtducasse: thanks, it works fine for me. but it is still a sad story08:22
mcrtducasse: only thing you can gather from it is that binary drivers are not a very good option for the long haul08:22
lotuspsychjemcrt: the #gamingonlinux community seems also to experiment with mesa and such08:23
mcrtwhen the money moves, so does the driver support, and then you're pretty much out of luck08:23
lotuspsychjemcrt: also interesting to hang there, to see how they fix08:23
lotuspsychjeand following phoronix driver news can be enlighting08:24
ducasselotuspsychje: finished breakfast? :)08:24
lotuspsychjeducasse: yeah, lol was it fast?08:24
ducasselotuspsychje: maybe it just seemed fast to me :)08:25
mcrtlotuspsychje: thanks :) ive got zsnes and dosbox running smoothly, that's pretty much all i need on this machine ;)08:25
lotuspsychjeducasse: too intering here to miss :p08:26
lotuspsychje*interesting08:26
lotuspsychjemcrt: http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=phoronix_news08:27
mcrtlotuspsychje: that page is so much nicer than the default landing on phoronix.com08:38
lotuspsychjeducasse: http://www.deviantart.com/art/dark-cyan-i3-linux-66377445208:38
lotuspsychjemcrt: yeah isnt it, nice category look08:38

lotuspsychjemorning BobbyJr08:51
BobbyJrGood morning08:51
ducasselotuspsychje: nice, but i don't like the color scheme...09:06
lotuspsychjeducasse: dont like dark themes?09:46
ducassedark themes are ok, i don't like the cyan ;)09:46
lotuspsychjeah09:46
ducassei'm not all that fond of dark gtk themes, though, few of them work well in all applications09:47
lotuspsychjei like the vanilla windowmanagers + nice wallpaper09:48
lotuspsychjeducasse: does i3 have themes by default?09:51
ducasselotuspsychje: no, just a default color scheme and default font.09:52
lotuspsychjekk09:52
ducasseyou _can_ make it look very nice, though, i've just made it practical and comfy :)09:53
lotuspsychjeyeah i like comfy tweaking aswell under the hood09:53
lotuspsychjea system should be smooth to work with, very anyoing to work with windows these days09:54
ducassei3 is pretty nice to work with by default, but it gets a lot better by adding a few tools, setting your own keybindings etc09:56
ducasseby now i have everything in muscle memory, so i hardly notice it's there09:57
lotuspsychjeyeah you told me the other day i3 pretty fast start compare to unity aswell09:57
lotuspsychjefor me its interesting to tweak unity same way, so i can bring this to my customers desktops09:58
lotuspsychjetoo bad those snaps need launchpad account, so i have to make one for new customers09:59
ducasseweird, really, as you don't need one to install them from cli10:00
lotuspsychjeill test again later from ubuntu software10:01
ducassei've heard others say it's needed, so i'm sure you're right10:01
lotuspsychjeyeah also saw it passby main, they got errors about an account10:02
lotuspsychjeducasse: same way you need the account on ubuntu-touch10:02
ducassei have mixed feelings about snap, especially that canonical won't let you host your own repo10:03
lotuspsychjethey idea is good, but the structure is complicated indeed10:03
lotuspsychjeno ppa's and cool software like telegram i find fantastic10:05
ducassei get slightly suspicious about things like that, and flatpak is completely open. flatpak requires systemd, though, so nothing's perfect ;)10:06
lotuspsychjeducasse: would love to see a bright future with the user got the complete choice over everything10:07
lotuspsychjemaybe thats too much asked10:07
ducassehehe, too many corps and govs who don't want that :)10:08
lotuspsychjeyeah10:08
lotuspsychjeducasse: off to work mate, ttyl ; )10:08
lotuspsychjehave a nice weekend10:09
ducasseyou too!10:09
lotuspsychjetnx10:09
lotuspsychjelaterz guys10:09
BluesKajHiyas all11:00
ducasse\o BluesKaj11:04
ducassedid i tell you xbian has switched to kodi 17 now?11:04
BluesKajHi ducasse , I see, I still prefer jarvis, think krypton(17) is a terrible gui, it's much clunkier than jarvis, it's actually harder to navigate11:07
ducassei actually think it's much nicer :)11:08
BluesKajfor me at least11:08
ducassealthough i've not used it that much yet11:08
BluesKajit's pk if you don't use addons11:08
BluesKajok11:08
BluesKajtoo many menus11:09
ducassei really only use the kodi interface itself, not a lot of addons, so that might explain it11:11
ducassei keep noticing little things i think are done better, like the ui being better presented etc11:12
ducasseBluesKaj: do you know if zesty has relatively new kde packages?11:12
BluesKajnot really, thay're mainly the same packages, just upgraded using the plasma5 DE11:15
ducasseok. tried to play with kde connect, but it seems the yakkety packages are not very useful11:16

tarballwhy is there a piece of software on ubuntu that produces its output in Microsoft Windows Excel format? since when supposedly FOSS systems use MS formats?13:54
tarballhello again to those who were not just in ubuntu channel13:54
ducassewhich software?13:58
tarballducasse, "Checkbox"14:09
ducassetarball: never heard of it, but i can't see why the developer shouldn't be free to choose whatever format they please14:11
ducassetarball: looking at the wikipedia page, it doesn't seem like there are any limitations to using it in foss14:13
tarballducasse, regardless of hows and whats of 'xslx' format, I cant even imagine an MS-Office format -yes, it is one- in a FOSS system when there are alternatives. plain as that.14:14
ducasseso, anything developed by ms is tainted beyond hope?14:14
tarballducasse. I guess it is a motive to comply with the broader ubuntu view of today to respond with arguments a la 'what is wrong with X'..still I answer your question; yes.14:24
tarballand it is a direction14:24
tarballthat is deliberately taken14:24
tarballwhy not alternatives when they are there and when they are FOSS?14:24
ducassei consider myself fairly strict on foss issues, but there is nothing in the licence that prevents foss from using it. sorry, but saying 'because ms' is just silly, imo.14:25
tarballI already ventured into hearing from some that it is, no worries. but the fact is that it is not. for, again, 1. it has FOSS alternatives, why not use them instead if you are developing for a FOSS system 2. ubuntu is already known not to be strict about this distinction, and openly putting an MS format out there seems to be a statement for what is yet to come, frankly.14:32
tarballand last, it disturbs me to see right in the middle of my desktop an MS Office file14:33
ducassethis is _one_ application in the repos. there are tons of programs there with more worrying licence issues. 'because it was developed by ms' reminds me of people who won't use systemd because lennart poettering is the originator.14:35
ducassebut whatever, you are entitled to your opinion.14:35
tarballI dont know about that program. anyway, you're right about more worrying licenses14:35
tarballand after having opted-out of third party programs during installation, I got graphic isses I never had, as a sidenote14:36
tarballissues*14:36
OerHekswhen one stops feeding trolls, ..16:55
BluesKajOerHeks, it's the wekend , they seem to be mopre active this weekend than usual16:56
ducasseseems there's been an influx of newbies lately, maybe it's just me.16:57
OerHeksi know, still i know there are serious people needing a direction.16:57
OerHeksand a lot of lonely people ♫16:58
BluesKajthere seems to be one or two in every chat I'm monitoring16:58
ducasseanyone seen Eric^^ today?17:00
BluesKajducasse, whois doesn't show him anywhere on freenode17:03
OerHeksactually, i have never seen him.17:04
OerHeks:-(17:05
ducasseOerHeks: :-P17:05
OerHekseric could be a girl with curly hair ...17:05
BluesKajOerHeks,17:05
BluesKaj??17:06
OerHeksoke oke i stop my fantasy17:06
BluesKajhe lives in a dangerous city17:07
OerHeksBeirut, yes?17:07
BluesKajyup17:07
BluesKajvery helpful fella tho17:08
Bashing-omBack ! .. Ready to do this again, see what a Saturday brings .18:36
BluesKajHey Bashing-om, been quiet here for the 90 mins or so18:37
BluesKajlast18:38
Bashing-omBluesKaj: Hey hey - Quiet on the channel, generally means I get inquisitive and break something on my system . Just can not leave well enough alone :)18:40
OerHeksJust finished the kitchen, now doing some ironing..18:41
BluesKajwell, inquisitive has it's benefits, like learning how stuff breaks :-)18:41
ducassehehe, i've resisted upgrading to zesty all day, maybe i'll go ahead and break it properly now before bedtime :)18:41
Bashing-omBluesKaj: And we then know " do what I say; not what I do !) .18:41
BluesKajducasse, zesty beta 1 is more stable than the daily18:42
BluesKajit's still in freeze anyway, I think18:43
ducassei might still be able to break it if only i try hard enough ;)18:43
BluesKajoh no doubt18:43
Bashing-omBluesKaj: ducasse Have yet to see any issue within my zesty install ( not counting mir - have not muchly explored ) .18:43
BluesKajahh, i'm running kde/plasma5 here, there a few small issues, like konverstion supposedly crashing after I close it...strange behaviour there18:46
Bashing-omBluesKaj: Follow up the error report . see if it is an identified issue ?18:47
ducasseBluesKaj: weirdness. anything if you launch it from shell?18:48
BluesKajsorry ducasse, was called afk, haven't tried from the shell yet20:13
