[04:07] <valorie> wrote to the lists and posted to kubuntuforums about testing
[04:07] <valorie> getting a bit nervous about so few test cases
[04:08] <valorie> although my two tests were both pretty good, although not bug-free
[06:12] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> @acheronuk, This should go on kubuntu.org too, lovely branded screenshots
[06:12] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> I can't manage that myself, not enough time before I go away.
[06:14] <valorie> o/ @sick_rimmit

[11:27] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> not sure.......

[11:37] <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 going
[11:37] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> Oh I love that Banner !!
[11:37] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> It gorgeous
[11:38] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> I don't think any issues with Joe at OMG will be a big deal, leave it with me
[11:41] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> @Sick_Rimmit, Don't.
[11:42] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> If you want to try to figure out what the issue is then feel free but otherwise it's not working
[11:49] <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 😃
[11:53] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> please check kubuntu.org front page to see how that banner looks
[12:02] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> Yep - Looks excellent on the webiste
[12:06] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> Ok. that can do for now. I won't offended if people want to improve on that :P
[12:58] <mparillo> I 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?
[13:06] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> yes, but someone still spotted it! LOL
[13:13] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> Artful seems to be released, or will be very shortly here...
[13:18] <yofel> o/
[13:18] <yofel> happy release day everyone ;)
[13:18] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> @tsimonq2, it is :)
[13:19] <mparillo> Mine 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 yofel
[13:53] <acheronuk> https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-17-10-artful-aardvark-is-released/
[14:09] <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 Job
[14:36] <IrcsomeBot> <CliffordTheBigRedDoggie> Could we give a thankyou on the release page
[14:48] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> to whom? the video? everyone?
[14:55] <mparillo> So long as it is To WHOM
[15:12] <acheronuk> bit early for a beer, but pours one anyway!
[15:25] <IrcsomeBot> <Sick_Rimmit> Cheers Everyone 😃
[15:35] <clivejo> what is this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsaksEnWWkg
[15:36] <clivejo> ahoneybun: did you accidentally stream it as Kubuntu Podcast instead of yourself?
[15:37] <ahoneybun> idk I was on Kubuntu so I thought it was a good spot
[15:38] <clivejo> There are two dislikes on the channel for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsaksEnWWkg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IT7K2Sbf-g
[15:47] <clivejo> eakk
[15:48] <clivejo> Podcast #25 comment "I love Linux, I love Kubuntu, I love System76. However, this podcast was (unfortunately) very painful to watch (sorry guys!)."
[19:45] <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.
[20:19] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> @tsimonq2, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1716092
[20:23] <valorie> wow, got up early to check on my install and then slept really late
[20:23] <valorie> bad day to do that and miss all the excitement
[20:24] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> @valorie, You're good :D
[20:25] <valorie> kub.org looks fabu!
[20:26] <acheronuk> :)
[20:26] <valorie> I went to record my successful lts upgrade on the iso.qa site but it was already closed to new submissions
[20:27] <valorie> oh well, we know it can be successfully done
[20:31] <acheronuk> mine 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 respond
[20:32] <acheronuk> I'll try that again sometime, and try to watch more carefully any error
[20:32] <valorie> mine was perfect; no errors along the way
[20:32] <valorie> otoh, I did it all in the cli
[20:33] <valorie> so not really a perfect test
[20:33] <valorie> but then that is how I would advise someone to do it anyway
[20:33] <valorie> the first thing I always install is yakuake
[20:33] <clivejo> I can't upgrade mine :(
[20:33] <valorie> how come?
[20:33] <clivejo> Kubuntu sucks
[20:33] <acheronuk> I intalled lots of extra stuff as well, to make it more like a used system
[20:34]  * clivejo throws toys out of play pen
[20:34] <acheronuk> cos he is on artful+KCI already? :P
[20:34] <valorie> rofl
[20:34] <clivejo> but I want new stuff!
[20:34] <valorie> that's why I used my other computer
[20:35] <valorie> and I guess it is fair, since it's the not-so-beefy one
[20:35]  * clivejo stomps feet
[20:35] <valorie> we survived the storm everyone was predicting
[20:35] <valorie> lights didn't even flicker
[20:35] <valorie> couple of branches on the lawn
[20:35] <valorie> right terrible
[20:43] <valorie> uh: https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads still has 16.10!
[20:44] <clivejo> still 50k homes in Ireland without electric and 8k without water
[20:44] <valorie> :(
[20:45] <acheronuk> valorie: fixed
[20:45] <valorie> thanks!
[20:45] <clivejo> and the checksum :P
[20:45] <acheronuk> 16.10, not the electricity
[20:45] <valorie> what do you think of removing 17.10 already?
[20:46] <valorie> from that page
[20:46] <clivejo> why?
[20:46] <acheronuk> 17.04 you mean?
[20:46] <valorie> oops, 17.04 yes
[20:47] <valorie> because we don't want people to download and install it?
[20:48] <clivejo> I thought you meant 17.10
[20:48] <clivejo> was wondering why you wanted it removed
[20:48] <valorie> <---- crazy in the head
[20:48] <valorie> err, typing fingers
[20:48] <valorie> also, lacking coffee
[21:19] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> @tsimonq2 added that pulseaudio workarounds to our release notes
[21:20] <tsimonq2> Excellent.
[21:58] <valorie> wow, matrix unstable today
[21:59] <valorie> 4 hours gone
[23:32] <tsimonq2> valorie: ...Kubuntu ships with Wayland?
[23:35] <valorie> oh
[23:36] <valorie> I dunno
[23:36] <valorie> I remember testing in the past, when things were not working that well
[23:41] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> can install packages to have a wayland plasma session option
[23:41] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> https://twitter.com/kdecommunity/status/921060843600728064
[23:41] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> That's why I ask
[23:44] <IrcsomeBot> <acheronuk> someone getting k/ubuntu confused it seems
[23:47] <clivejo> why do I need to provide a mobile number to have a twitter account?
[23:52] <wxl> probably 2fa
[23:52] <valorie> I think like telegram that's how it is all tied together
[23:52] <valorie> signal requires that as well I believe
[23:55] <wxl> well i could see that for the use case of telegram and signal but not twitter
[23:56] <valorie> clivejo: interesting test - when I turned on telepathy, I saw a message from an "unknown"
[23:56] <wxl> i do know that twitter does have real 2fa as in h/totp, so it does require a phone to handle it
[23:56] <valorie> once I restarted and saw telegram on my desktop, it actually was Jose (from the loco council, who came to SeaGL)
[23:57] <valorie> and my reply was not there
[23:57] <wxl> 2 years in a row, no?
[23:57] <valorie> so somehow telepathy is connected to telegram enough to get messages, but not identities, but telegraph isn't listening
[23:58] <valorie> wxl: yep
[23:58] <valorie> didn't see much of him though
[23:58] <valorie> what a social butterfly!
[23:58] <wxl> oh wow
[23:59] <valorie> so my restart after loading up all the new backports-landing packages is working great
[23:59] <valorie> that ppa is now removed and plain old backports is added
[23:59] <valorie> wxl -- missed YOU
