| User-8 | Hi, i think i have found a problem with DNS custom settings. If i use DNS from https://www.opennicproject.org/ i get random network disconnection. I don't really know where to report that problem. Since i removed custom settings, i am not disconnected anymore. | 11:58 |
|---|---|---|
| fossfreedom_ | User-8: what if you use google's DNS settings? | 12:03 |
| User-8 | I didn't tryed it | 12:04 |
| fossfreedom_ | give it a try - let us know | 12:04 |
| User-8 | Yes sure | 12:04 |
| fossfreedom_ | to be honest - I leave this up to my router - I use google's DNS in my router rather than my ISP's DNS | 12:07 |
| datawolf | I see that the budgie-remix repo is not added in the 17.04 beta. If we upgrade from 16.10, is it safe to remove that repo? | 15:01 |
| fossfreedom_ | datawolf: yes - the budgie-remix ppa is not needed | 15:01 |
| fossfreedom_ | 17.04 has a backports ppa for newer stuff now | 15:01 |
| datawolf | I'm assuming that software initially intalled on 16.10 via the ppa will now be updated through the official repos? | 15:03 |
| fossfreedom_ | almost - obscure stuff like skippy-xd, budgie-screenshot-applet will be removed because they are not in the repositories. You'll need to add the backports PPA if you want these. | 15:05 |
| fossfreedom_ | "ppa:ubuntubudgie/backports" | 15:05 |
| datawolf | but core budgie stuff is in the main repos? | 15:06 |
| fossfreedom_ | yes | 15:07 |
| datawolf | I see that there are only 6 packages in the backports. One of them is the budgie-welcome. Is that just a more up to date version that what ships with 17.04? | 15:11 |
| fossfreedom_ | datawolf: correct. new stuff - can grab and move the window, translation support | 15:15 |
| fossfreedom_ | we'll be adding new stuff during this cycle - all stuff that will be in 17.10 | 15:15 |
| fossfreedom_ | budgie-desktop v10.3 will be also added to backports | 15:16 |
| datawolf | Think budgie 11 will be in 17.10? | 15:25 |
| datawolf | I'm really loving Budgie, but the switch to Qt has me a little nervous | 15:25 |
| fossfreedom_ | datawolf: unlikely - upstream timescales are against budgie 11 in 17.10 | 15:27 |
| datawolf | is it not targetted for second quarter 2017 any longer? | 15:28 |
| fossfreedom_ | budgie 11 is targeted for second quarter - but because this is a fundamental rewrite there will be lots and lots of new packages. It takes 2-3 months to get these into Debian | 15:29 |
| fossfreedom_ | since the freeze date of Ubuntu is mid august - we will have missed the ability to sync from debian to ubuntu | 15:29 |
| datawolf | that makes sense | 15:30 |
| datawolf | thanks for being patient with all my questions | 15:30 |
| fossfreedom_ | yw | 15:30 |
| datawolf | So, my mom has 16.10 on her pc, and she lives out of state, so I have to help her upgrade remotely. Is it safe to assume that after the upgrade is complete, I can just change the sources.list file to match that of a fresh 17.04 install? | 15:36 |
| datawolf | then add back in any ppa's as needed | 15:36 |
| fossfreedom_ | after the upgrade the sources.list should be automatically set to be 17.04 | 15:42 |
| fossfreedom_ | yes - then you can add back any 17.04 PPAs. obviously remember - thirdparty PPAs take a few days/weeks to update when a new release is around. So check first | 15:43 |
| datawolf | really the only one she has is for Chrome. | 15:43 |
| datawolf | I try to keep her system as simple as possible since I have to admin it remotely | 15:44 |
| fossfreedom_ | chrome I have tested with 17.04 ... it is part of the budgie-welcome browser ballot | 15:44 |
| datawolf | I was concerned that it disabled the budgie-remix ppa in my testing, but that is no longer needed | 15:45 |
| datawolf | I think I'll be good | 15:45 |
| fossfreedom_ | no zesty packages will be added to the budgie-remix ppa | 15:45 |
| datawolf | Thanks again | 15:54 |
