[02:07] retweeted a couple of things as Kubuntu [02:52] valorie: Is Kubuntu planning on participating in Alpha 1? [02:54] tsimonq2: I should be able to test installing ISOs (at least to VMs). P.S. On real HW, the Lubuntu-Next ISO does not show an install option. [02:54] Haven't checked in a VM. [02:54] mparillo: It's known. :) [02:56] tsimonq2: I think so? [02:56] should figure that out I guess [02:56] valorie: Alright, no stress. [02:57] seems like things are kicking along [02:57] so I imagine so [11:09] I've change our download page to match the message on the ubuntu one, discouaging 17.10 downloads until the lenevo bios curruption issue has been fixed [11:15] Also added to release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu#Incompatibility_with_BIOS_in_certain_Lenovo.2C_Acer_systems [11:58] Also seriously wondering wthere to re-visit the idea of dropping PIM (or some of the worst parts of of it) from our defaults. [11:58] For example, I have noticed a bit of an uptick in reports of issues with kmail in versions 17.08 and 17.12 [12:27] @acheronuk, +1 [17:28] Fwd from tsimonq2: 17.10 officially pulled from cdimage.ubuntu.com for all flavors. [17:29] @acheronuk Please edit the downloads page and/or make a tweet or something [17:30] @tsimonq2 Read up [17:31] @acheronuk, Discouraging =/ them completely being unavailable. There's always that one guy... Lol [17:32] It's a VERY strong form of discouragement :P [17:33] OK :P [19:31] @acheronuk @tsimonq2 link to the post about the issue? [19:33] @ahoneybun, It's sort of obvious if you look at any news site that's covered it, there's a link to a bug somewhere... [19:33] post? or bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147 [19:33] Here... https://is.gd/TAxKEl [19:33] @acheronuk, Er, there. [19:34] lol [19:37] thanks [21:42] I did retweet the libuntu tweet last night from the kubuntu account [21:43] I guess I should stop seeding the torrents [21:46] that was most of the activity [21:47] acheronuk: thanks for your quick action on the website [21:59] valorie: glad I caught it [22:00] me too [22:00] I didn't think of that last night, at all [22:00] the release team seemed pretty casual about it last night [22:14] I mean you can use the key to switch booting devices [22:15] Not really [22:15] Some laptops won't even boot up [22:15] Others it's a minor issue [22:15] It varies. [22:15] it can't touch the BIOS to brink the machine tho [22:15] You'd be surprised. [22:15] It can and does. [22:16] KC: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2017-December/011498.html [22:16] tsimonq2: is the bug present in bionic? [22:17] valorie: Really good question. I think not... [22:17] valorie: You might want to confirm. [22:17] * tsimonq2 is still getting caught up on emails etc... [22:18] hmmm, Friday [22:18] maybe I'll be able to at least listen in [22:19] friday? ahh [22:20] *Next* Friday. [22:20] But yeah. [22:20] It had the highest for-sure attendance rate for the Kubuntu Developers that responded. [22:20] yofel: Good to see you submit a response, by the way. :) [22:34] Friday 29th I think [22:34] Right.
