eylulOvenwerks you around?22:04
OvenWerkssort of ... more oval I think22:04
eylulok.. what is the final state of controls on 17.04?22:05
eylulwhich version do we have?22:05
eylulmy plans for testing kind of went sideways, but trying to prepare release notes22:06
OvenWerkseylul: one more than last cycle. Almost exactly the same22:06
eylulok22:06
eylulso none of the new UI?22:06
OvenWerksIt also has on the fly cpu goveror changing22:06
OvenWerksNo new GUI22:06
eylulwait..22:06
OvenWerksJust one extra check box22:06
eyluloh ok..22:07
OvenWerksno tabs or anything though22:07
eylulso umm "ubuntustudio-controls have now the option to change CPU governor on the fly"22:07
OvenWerksYa, it doesn't stay over boot yet22:07
eylulwait you say it isn't the new UI but..22:08
eylulfrom what you say, it is the new UI22:08
eylulas in the UI you made22:08
eylul(when I say new UI, I mean the glade file that was created after 16.10 release)22:08
eylul(not necessarily the details)22:09
OvenWerksit does not have the GUI with tabs and groups and stuff just one new checkbox22:09
OvenWerksok yes then22:09
OvenWerksIt has been tested and works... at least on my machine HW22:09
eylulawesome22:10
OvenWerks(as in tested in 17.04 beta)22:10
eylul*nods*22:10
eylulso actually it is 22:10
OvenWerksI keep DL the ISO to test... and when I go to write to the drive... I realize I need to DL the next day :P22:11
eylul"an experimental version of the ubuntustudio-controls is live"22:12
eylulheee22:13
eylul:D22:13
OvenWerksI don't think that is what we are shipping though22:13
eylulwe are not?22:13
OvenWerksDid we ever get 32 bit to not ship wine?22:13
eylulI am not sure...22:13
eylulquite frankly I have some opinions on that discussion from ML. Wine is useful to anybody using LMMS and needs to be reliant to windows VSTs, but if it destabilizes the system, it destabilizes it, and that's the end of the story really 22:14
OvenWerksISO has been built two or three times since. A user can add it after the fact... then it is wine and lmms problem not STudio's22:15
eyluleh.. true, especially since LMMS can be installed without vst support22:16
eylul(and that is more or less what we have on by default)22:17
eylulok so. new version of krita, new controls (unless it got reverted, I am putting it in for now, we can always remove it tomorrow before release) and..22:17
OvenWerksI also like having 32 and 64 bit with the same SW on them.22:18
eylul"wine was removed from the 32bit ISO"22:18
eylulyeah that's a bit weird to remove it from one side and not the other22:18
OvenWerks64bit alreday doesn't have wine22:18
eylulbut 32bit did?22:19
OvenWerksYa, the VST server for lmms is 32bit only22:20
eylulthat is separate through, you can install 32bit wine on a 64bit system22:20
OvenWerksNot that long ago windows was 32bit only.22:20
OvenWerkswe do not want a multi arc ISO!22:21
eylulI am not THAT young :D22:21
eylulhhehehe22:21
eylulwait.. did we also do some cleanup at the ubuntustudio-meta? anything there is visible to the userside?22:23
OvenWerksYa, there are now 32bit vst 64bit vst (and hosts too) and to confuse things there is now VST3. LMMS only supports 32 bit VST222:24
OvenWerksI am not sure about the metas22:24
eylulwell quite honestly..22:24
eylulI have yet to come across a vst3 I needed to use. granted, my use of VSTs and LMMS in general is pretty narrow and specific but..22:25
OvenWerkson the other hand... who would have made those changes?22:25
eylulI know ross was poking at the bugs22:25
eylulnot sure what happened to them through22:25
krytarikeylul: "wine was removed from the 32bit ISO" - that didn't work though.22:27
OvenWerksyes there are a lot of 32bit VST2s.22:27
eylulKrytarik thanks.. so no changes to wine situation?22:27
krytarikNop.22:27
eylulso..22:27
eylulumm that goes under known issues... which,...22:27
eylulwhat did wine break exactly?22:28
eylulor is anything broken to note in release notes?22:28
eylul(also wow, ubuntustudio-graphics is still on proposed. *cringes*, I guess no Krita for this release)22:30
eylulwait nvm22:30
eylul*is still confused by launchpad*22:31
krytarikHah.22:31
krytarikAlso, some of these are relevant for us too: http://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/17.04/release-notes22:32
eylul*goes to check22:32
krytarikI'll mention we don't have 'sgt-launcher' yet - and given the different target group, I think we shouldn't either.22:33
eylulsgt-launcher?22:34
eylul(Ok I have no idea which one of these bugs affects us)22:34
krytarikIt's mentioned in their notes - and irrelevant to us.22:34
eyluloh22:35
eyluldoes the installer issue affect us?22:36
eylul(assumes most of the general issues do)22:36
eylul(outside the puzzles)22:36
krytarikYeah, that's why I specifically mentioned the puzzles thingy.22:40
eylulok22:40
eylulXfce Indicator Plugin: Label missing from "Clear Known Indicators" dialog does this really affect us? we don't use the same themes and icons22:43
krytarikTheme not, icons yes, but this is related to the entire button label (including icon) - https://launchpadlibrarian.net/294982464/Screenshot_2016-11-25_20-40-37.png22:47
eyluloh22:48
eylulI see. ok22:48
eylulhmm maybe we should just link to xubuntu and ubuntu bug reports for reference rather than trying to copy paste22:48
eylul*does that :D22:48
krytarikYeah, with appropriate notes, wfm.22:51
eylulUbuntustudio shares some of the desktop features with Xubuntu. Please see Xubuntu release notes for additional information. 22:54

OvenWerkslibc623:06
eyluloh nice23:06
eylul*listens to ovenwerks*23:06
OvenWerksI can't see why libc6 would be 64bit only though23:07
eylulversion issue?23:07
eylulquite frankly, you are not very likely to be using darktable if you are on 32bit, its actually surprisingly demanding app23:08
OvenWerkssupports arm64 too.23:08
OvenWerksdemanding on Arm?23:09
eyluldemanding for an old computer23:09
OvenWerksmost are boxes are like 2gram23:09
OvenWerkss/are/arm/23:09
eylulno I meant if you are using 32bit computer at this point, chances are you are using a pretty old computer, and darktable has a pretty heavy in terms of CPU etc usage. (or it feels like it anyway, not that I benchmarked it or anything)23:11
* eylul has been doing quite a bit of photography based work lately23:11
eylulok, all fixes to release notes in23:12
eylulI am emailing ML to keep ross updated. 23:12
krytarikhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/darktable/2.2.1-323:14
eylulouch23:17
eylulok let me finish emailing then add this to the release notes..23:17
eylulthanks for digging this up23:17
OvenWerksOur 64 bit iso has Darktable23:20
krytarikHeh, this is linked in the relevant Debian bug report: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/src/views/view.c#L328-L33223:23
OvenWerksdisplayCAL has a beg screen :P23:24
krytariklol23:25
* OvenWerks needs a colorimeter first thank you23:26
krytarikAlso of note: !dt_conf_get_bool("please_let_me_suffer_by_using_32bit_darktable") :P23:26
eylulOvenWerks I know23:27
eylul:/23:27
OvenWerksso darktable should be buildable as 32 bit anyway.23:27
OvenWerksThe one son who might be interested in Darktable has the 32bit machine :P23:28
eylulOvenwerks: I think the issue is less if it is buildable, and more if it crashes. 23:28
eylulawww23:28
OvenWerks(the other has kubuntu)23:28
* eylul has been using KDE on top of ubuntustudio lately.23:29
eylul(HiDPI *sighs*)23:29
OvenWerksKDE has some "won't fix issues" with window stacking.23:29
eylul*nods*23:29
eylulwell23:29
OvenWerksie dialogs end up under the main program23:29
eylulI have been noticing that yes23:30
OvenWerksThe user thinks the application is frozen23:30
OvenWerkskde refuses to reconize standard x11 window stacking commands23:30
eylulwell xfce is nearly impossible to use without a magnifier23:31
eylulotherwise I miss xfce23:32
OvenWerksKDE's Audio applet works fine, but I find pavucontrol more straight forward and has more controls23:32
OvenWerksAh, that is a problem then23:33
eylulpretty much23:33
eylulI mean you can adjust the panel, but no way to scale most of the UI if I remember correctly23:33
OvenWerksalt-up_arrow?23:33
eylulno I mean.. 23:33
eylulwithout lowering the resolution23:33
eylulor zooming in23:34
OvenWerksya, I know.23:34
OvenWerksthe text is too small23:34
eylul*nods*23:34
eylulKDE is the closest that gets.23:34
OvenWerkswell, unity is going away (with mir) so maybe gnome session will get some work.23:35
eylulthat would be great23:35
eylulif it does23:35
OvenWerksMS says so. vanilla will have gnome session by 18.0423:35
eylulthere is a lot I like about KDE but I miss xfce's stability. (I love activities) 23:35
eylulyep23:35
OvenWerksxfce sort of has that...23:36
OvenWerksyou can save several sets of settings23:36
eylulok so.. ugh.. "darktable is no longer supported from upstream for 32bit machines, so some instability might occur" (krytarik ovenwerks, this looks good?)23:36
OvenWerkseylul: have you tried fvwm?23:37
krytarikeylul: Erm, it's just not there to begin with..23:37
OvenWerkseylul: we do not have it for 32 bit23:37
eylulOvenwerks: I mostly use activities to autoswitch desktops and timetracker with it. (with KDE it is nicer because you can give names, and disable some stuff you are not using) 23:37
eyluloh it was completely removed? 23:38
OvenWerksyes, darktable for 32 bit is no longer in the archives23:38
OvenWerksThe user _could_ DL the src and build I suppose23:39
eylul"Darktable is removed from 32bit ISO due to lack of upstream support"23:39
OvenWerksbut it sounds like a lost cause. Are there any other similar programs we could/do include?23:39
eylulthere is rawtherapee23:40
eylulI never used it, but people do use it23:40
OvenWerkswe have that23:40
eylul*nods*23:40
eylulI think darktable needs to stay for 64bit. 23:41
eyluleven if it is only 64bit23:41
OvenWerksubuntu want to stop support for 32 isos..23:41
eylulbut yeah there is an - yeah I know23:41
OvenWerksI agree.23:41
eylulI am not sure I agree with that.23:41
OvenWerkssome of the better hw for audio is still 32 bit.23:42
eylulhw?23:42
OvenWerkshardware23:42
OvenWerkscomputers if you like23:42
OvenWerks-controls is still the old one.23:43
eyluloh23:43
eylulI see23:44
OvenWerksI guess it hasn't made it out of proposed?23:44
eylulold one == ?23:44
eylulsame thing on yakkety yak? 23:44
eylulbroken one that is one version ahead?23:44
krytarikeylul: Two things regarding the release notes still: 1.) "Zesty Zapus/ReleaseNotes" has to be without space; and 2.) I know this is a common mistake, but "Ubuntustudio" → "Ubuntu Studio"23:45
OvenWerksYa, but... it doesn't ask for sudo23:45
OvenWerksso it doesn't work23:45
OvenWerksoh hang on I am still in the live session23:46
OvenWerksscratch that23:46
* eylul begins laughing at ovenwerks23:46
* OvenWerks has to decide whihc partition he should use to install on.23:47
eylulKrytarik: done and done23:47
krytarikThanks.23:47
* OvenWerks still doesn't like whisker or the theme23:47
* eylul really needs to log off and lie down soon. 23:47
krytarik-controls is indeed the old one still though.23:48
eylulok23:48
eylulI put a moratorium on the terms "old one" and "new one" when talking about -controls23:48
eylul:D23:48
eylulthere is 3 things out there right now23:48
eylulold version (yakkety and older) that nobody touched in ages, lets call it original controls, ovenwerks(1) which is functional, but not much features, ovenwerks(2) which is broken23:49
eylul:D23:49
OvenWerksovenwerks(3) no one has seen23:50
eylulwhich one is at the release currently?23:50
* eylul mockglares at ovenwerks23:50
OvenWerksoriginal23:50
eylulok so I am removing that line from release notes23:51
OvenWerksbut OW1 has been put in proposed and tested and was supposed to have gotten into the repo. Ross would know.23:51
eylulok.23:51
krytarikThere is nothing in -proposed.23:51
eylul*snorts*23:52
OvenWerksnot sure where I got it from then23:52
OvenWerksRoss asked me to test... might be his PPA23:52
* eylul is doubling over laughing23:52
OvenWerksyou tickle easy  23:53
eylulcontrols went back and forth one time too many :D23:53
OvenWerksInstaller still after 5 releases warns of partition size change even when the partition is left the same size :/23:55
eylul2016-10-18 yup it is the old one23:55
eyluloriginal one23:56
eylul!23:56
eylul*cringes*23:56
eylulhas the bug been documented somewhere?23:57
OvenWerksI think so. I don't like opening browsers while installing though23:57
eylul:D23:57
eylulok release notes fixed for ubuntustudio-controls. removed that line23:58
OvenWerksThe image for audio deffinitely has the old ardour.23:58
krytarikeylul: Oh wow, you put one space more in there, instead of dropping the one :D - "[[Zesty Zapus/Release Notes]]"23:58
