valoriewrote to the lists and posted to kubuntuforums about testing04:07
valoriegetting a bit nervous about so few test cases04:07
valoriealthough my two tests were both pretty good, although not bug-free04:08
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> @acheronuk, This should go on kubuntu.org too, lovely branded screenshots06:12
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I can't manage that myself, not enough time before I go away.06:12

IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Rick Timmis, [19.10.17 12:34] … I got intouch with Joe at OMG, he came back asking me if I had consulted with KC about contacting him … Rick Timmis, [19.10.17 12:35] … So it's going to need a little massaging to get the relationship going11:37
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Oh I love that Banner !!11:37
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> It gorgeous11:37
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I don't think any issues with Joe at OMG will be a big deal, leave it with me11:38
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> @Sick_Rimmit, Don't.11:41
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> If you want to try to figure out what the issue is then feel free but otherwise it's not working11:42
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Nope - We need good, happy, friendly communication channes with as much press as we can get.11:49
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Fear not!! This is something I am good at 😃11:49
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> please check kubuntu.org front page to see how that banner looks11:53
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Yep - Looks excellent on the webiste12:02
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> Ok. that can do for now. I won't offended if people want to improve on that :P12:06
mparilloI think the JPEG banner images look great. I assume you briefly tested them on Kubuntu.org, and reverted to ZZ to avoid jumping the gun on the official release announcement?12:58
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> yes, but someone still spotted it! LOL13:06
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Artful seems to be released, or will be very shortly here...13:13
yofelo/13:18
yofelhappy release day everyone ;)13:18
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @tsimonq2, it is :)13:18
mparilloMine was a minority opinion, but I never minded the hype/clickbait/tech bloggers noticing a few hours early. Of course, one of these days somebody will find a stop-ship bug on release day.13:19
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @yofel, thanks yofel13:19
acheronukhttps://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-17-10-artful-aardvark-is-released/13:53
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Ah Superb, just had look around our website, big smile on my face now. It looks excellent 😃14:09
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Briliant Job14:09
IrcsomeBot<CliffordTheBigRedDoggie> Could we give a thankyou on the release page14:36
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> to whom? the video? everyone?14:48
mparilloSo long as it is To WHOM14:55
acheronukbit early for a beer, but pours one anyway!15:12
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Cheers Everyone 😃15:25
clivejowhat is this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsaksEnWWkg15:35
clivejoahoneybun: did you accidentally stream it as Kubuntu Podcast instead of yourself?15:36
ahoneybunidk I was on Kubuntu so I thought it was a good spot15:37
clivejoThere are two dislikes on the channel for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsaksEnWWkg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IT7K2Sbf-g15:38
clivejoeakk15:47
clivejoPodcast #25 comment "I love Linux, I love Kubuntu, I love System76. However, this podcast was (unfortunately) very painful to watch (sorry guys!)."15:48
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Fwd from GeBo1: Hmm, after upgrading Kubutu to 17.10 my audio volume says no devices found. Although sound is working. I just cannot edit any setting...19:45
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> Fwd from GeBo1: Okay, editing /etc/pulse/default.pa and commenting the last 3 lines …    ###.ifexists module-switch-on-connect.so …    ###load-module module-switch-on-connect  …    ###.endif                                                                                                                                                … seems to solve the issue.19:45
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @tsimonq2, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/171609220:19
valoriewow, got up early to check on my install and then slept really late20:23
valoriebad day to do that and miss all the excitement20:23
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> @valorie, You're good :D20:24
valoriekub.org looks fabu!20:25
acheronuk:)20:26
valorieI went to record my successful lts upgrade on the iso.qa site but it was already closed to new submissions20:26
valorieoh well, we know it can be successfully done20:27
acheronukmine mostly did ok. had to do an extra 'apt-get install -f' at the end, as some of the X input stuff did not upgrade properly, so sddm did not respond20:31
acheronukI'll try that again sometime, and try to watch more carefully any error20:32
valoriemine was perfect; no errors along the way20:32
valorieotoh, I did it all in the cli20:32
valorieso not really a perfect test20:33
valoriebut then that is how I would advise someone to do it anyway20:33
valoriethe first thing I always install is yakuake20:33
clivejoI can't upgrade mine :(20:33
valoriehow come?20:33
clivejoKubuntu sucks20:33
acheronukI intalled lots of extra stuff as well, to make it more like a used system20:33
* clivejo throws toys out of play pen20:34
acheronukcos he is on artful+KCI already? :P20:34
valorierofl20:34
clivejobut I want new stuff!20:34
valoriethat's why I used my other computer20:34
valorieand I guess it is fair, since it's the not-so-beefy one20:35
* clivejo stomps feet20:35
valoriewe survived the storm everyone was predicting20:35
valorielights didn't even flicker20:35
valoriecouple of branches on the lawn20:35
valorieright terrible20:35
valorieuh: https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads still has 16.10!20:43
clivejostill 50k homes in Ireland without electric and 8k without water20:44
valorie:(20:44
acheronukvalorie: fixed20:45
valoriethanks!20:45
clivejoand the checksum :P20:45
acheronuk16.10, not the electricity20:45
valoriewhat do you think of removing 17.10 already?20:45
valoriefrom that page20:46
clivejowhy?20:46
acheronuk17.04 you mean?20:46
valorieoops, 17.04 yes20:46
valoriebecause we don't want people to download and install it?20:47
clivejoI thought you meant 17.1020:48
clivejowas wondering why you wanted it removed20:48
valorie<---- crazy in the head20:48
valorieerr, typing fingers20:48
valoriealso, lacking coffee20:48
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> @tsimonq2 added that pulseaudio workarounds to our release notes21:19
tsimonq2Excellent.21:20
valoriewow, matrix unstable today21:58
valorie4 hours gone21:59
tsimonq2valorie: ...Kubuntu ships with Wayland?23:32
valorieoh23:35
valorieI dunno23:36
valorieI remember testing in the past, when things were not working that well23:36
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> can install packages to have a wayland plasma session option23:41
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> https://twitter.com/kdecommunity/status/92106084360072806423:41
IrcsomeBot<tsimonq2> That's why I ask23:41
IrcsomeBot<acheronuk> someone getting k/ubuntu confused it seems23:44
clivejowhy do I need to provide a mobile number to have a twitter account?23:47
wxlprobably 2fa23:52
valorieI think like telegram that's how it is all tied together23:52
valoriesignal requires that as well I believe23:52
wxlwell i could see that for the use case of telegram and signal but not twitter23:55
valorieclivejo: interesting test - when I turned on telepathy, I saw a message from an "unknown"23:56
wxli do know that twitter does have real 2fa as in h/totp, so it does require a phone to handle it23:56
valorieonce I restarted and saw telegram on my desktop, it actually was Jose (from the loco council, who came to SeaGL)23:56
valorieand my reply was not there23:57
wxl2 years in a row, no?23:57
valorieso somehow telepathy is connected to telegram enough to get messages, but not identities, but telegraph isn't listening23:57
valoriewxl: yep23:58
valoriedidn't see much of him though23:58
valoriewhat a social butterfly!23:58
wxloh wow23:58
valorieso my restart after loading up all the new backports-landing packages is working great23:59
valoriethat ppa is now removed and plain old backports is added23:59
valoriewxl -- missed YOU23:59
