[01:02] <bluesabre> Unit193: yeah, I'm inclined to agree at this point
[01:03] <krytarik> Me too, having seen how it failed at Numix earlier for those reasons.
[06:15] <flocculant> knome bluesabre ochosi - 17.10.1 is released, cdimage starting to populate - not got time to do anything now
[06:16] <flocculant> if you are in a rush - be my guest :p
[06:16] <Unit193> So I should move them over from /pending/ and start seeding.
[06:16] <flocculant> Unit193: core?
[06:17] <Unit193> Yes sir.
[06:17] <flocculant> if they're ok then yea if you want :)
[06:17] <flocculant> I didn't want to be EOL blogging, then the website's not sorted and no iso's yet ;)
[06:23] <Unit193> Well they boot, resolution is weird but vbox so what can you expect.
[06:24] <Unit193> Ratios: 32/17 for i386/amd64
[06:28] <flocculant> :)
[06:28] <flocculant> thanks for that stuff
[06:29] <Unit193> (Every time I boot a VM, I lose more ram to xorg until I restart it. :/)
[06:30] <flocculant> really? mine releases afaik
[06:37] <Unit193> Yeeeah, it gets pretty bad.
[06:37] <flocculant> :(
[06:38] <ochosi> bluesabre: i can make the POC available so you can test and try as is. imo it's not too bad, definitely so much better than what we shipped with 17.xx
[06:38] <ochosi> even without taking the adwaita/greybird diffs into account
[06:38] <Unit193> Right now xorg is only sitting at 125M ram.
[06:40] <flocculant> 85.4M resident here
[06:40] <flocculant> hi ochosi 
[06:40] <flocculant> and bye everyone - bbl
[06:40] <Unit193> When it gets bad is idling at 600+M, no ff open or anything just xorg itself. :D
[06:40] <Unit193> Byebye.
[14:23] <flocculant> that's not fun then ;)
[14:33] <flocculant> knome: updated the torrent links at getxubuntu
[14:39] <flocculant> and the download page - changed the Latest reegular release blurb a bit - some mirrors haven't updated - or aren't going to
[14:40] <flocculant> published the 17.01 EOL post - changed 17.10 to 17.10.1 there
[14:49] <flocculant> don't know if we want to do a 17.10.1 release note there
[16:06] <knome> flocculant, ta
[16:06] <flocculant> np
[16:06] <knome> flocculant, did you find the editing easy enough? i don't mean the wordpress editing, but the download page specifically...
[16:07] <knome> with all the shortcodes and stuff
[16:07] <flocculant> umm - I edited text on the actual download page - but editing the torrent links on the 17.10 release list page was easy enough
[16:07] <knome> maybe we could link to the point release announcement just for the sake of it
[16:08] <flocculant> now I know it's there ;)
[16:08] <knome> good good
[16:08] <knome> yep
[16:08] <knome> again i plan to make the release stuff more "visible" on the admin
[16:08] <flocculant> and ok - I'll do that now and you can give it look over 
[16:08] <flocculant> oh hang on
[16:08] <knome> i'm on my phone, but sure i can do a quick peek ;)
[16:08] <flocculant> what do you mean link to the p.release announcement?
[16:09] <flocculant> I was saying do a post specifically
[16:09] <knome> oh
[16:09] <knome> i'm probably just a bit lost
[16:09] <flocculant> ok - I'll rewind
[16:10] <knome> my brain thought the EOL post was .1 post
[16:10] <knome> so ok, let me think
[16:10] <flocculant> not that I particularly care, bit some flavours have done a release announce for .1
[16:10] <flocculant> shall we?
[16:10] <knome> i think it's just fair to say on the download page that the new ISOs have the fix
[16:10] <flocculant> if so - I'll draft that
[16:11] <knome> and we can drop that on the release page too
[16:11] <flocculant> yup - asll the infra is done
[16:11] <knome> though maybe not
[16:11]  * knome shrugs
[16:11] <knome> it's history
[16:11] <knome> maybe ask pleia2 if she'd fancy a post :P
[16:12] <flocculant> didn't want to say too much on the download page other than what I did - eg make sure if you've gone to mirror you actually have 17.10.1
[16:12] <knome> yep
[16:12] <knome> i don't mind either way: post or no post
[16:12] <knome> and have to run now
[16:12] <knome> bbl
[16:12] <flocculant> cya later :p
[16:12] <knome> thanks for taking care
[16:12] <flocculant> np
[16:20] <flocculant> pleia2 knome - 17.10.1 draft release post - we can either post or delete, can we though do the social media things regardless - I'll wait to do fb until I know if we have a post to link to or not
[16:55] <pleia2> flocculant: having a look now
[16:56] <pleia2> flocculant: since we're doing a post, I'm inclined to wrap it in with a Meltdown post
[16:56] <pleia2> mind if I make a few edits?
[16:57] <flocculant> pleia2: be my guest :)
[16:57] <flocculant> I assume then that you'd like a post for the re-release :D
[16:58] <pleia2> yeah, some important things to say
[16:58] <flocculant> as long as none of them are =- this release was because meltdown :p
[16:58] <pleia2> right
[16:59] <flocculant> be wamdering off for a short bit in a few minutes - will check it when back
[16:59] <flocculant> as long as I know you're happy with what you said - I'll publish when finished and ping you and Pasi for social things
[17:00] <pleia2> k
[17:00] <slickymasterWork> as long as you're at it pleia2, would it be terrible to ask you not to forget G+?
[17:01] <slickymasterWork> thus covering all our media outlets
[17:01] <flocculant> slickymasterWork: that's one of the social things ...
[17:01] <flocculant> pleia2 does g (and twitter if needed) Pasi does twitter and I do fb :p
[17:01] <pleia2> slickymasterWork: yeah, the problem was less G+ and more me ;)
[17:01] <slickymasterWork> I know flocculant, but I think pleia2's the only one who has access
[17:02] <slickymasterWork> lol, that's why I poked you about it
[17:02] <slickymasterWork> ;)
[17:05] <pleia2> (ochosi also does have access, happy to share with anyone else too if they want)
[17:07] <pleia2> flocculant: ok, just added a quick sentence about it including Meltdown fix and the link to the USN
[17:08] <pleia2> I'm thinking the social media can be something like 17.10.1 which includes fixes for the bios bug and meltdown
[17:16] <flocculant> pleia2: it doesn't include it as such
[17:17] <pleia2> it doesn't? that seems irresponsible :(
[17:17] <flocculant> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2018-January/004263.html
[17:17] <flocculant> iso was sorted before fixes for that landed - because 17.01 was about to go eol
[17:18] <pleia2> grumble
[17:18]  * pleia2 re-edit
[17:18] <flocculant> it just needs an update/grade iirc
[17:19] <flocculant> sorry - should have been a bit firmer about meltdown and said 'no meltdown/spectre talk'  :(
[17:19] <flocculant> pleia2: if when you re-edit you're happy - publish it ;)
[17:21] <pleia2> flocculant: it's early and brain is not braining, want to read real quick again?
[17:22] <flocculant> link to https://insights.ubuntu.com/2018/01/12/meltdown-and-spectre-status-update/ instead perhaps
[17:23] <flocculant> other than that - looks fine
[17:23] <flocculant> biab 
[17:25] <pleia2> ok
[17:34] <pleia2> https://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-17-10-1-release/
[18:12] <flocculant> thanks pleia2 :)
[18:14] <pleia2> haven't socialed yet, pulled into work things, will soon
[18:15] <flocculant> np - just doing fb now
[18:17] <flocculant> and done
[19:27] <pleia2> twitter done
[19:28] <pleia2> and G+
[19:31] <flocculant> our portuguese friend will be happy :p
[19:31] <flocculant> pleia2: thanks :)
[19:31] <pleia2> hehe
[20:28] <knome> o7
[20:46] <ochosi> bluesabre, knome, Unit193: what is definitely feasible is a greybird-theme-config
[20:48] <bluesabre> hmm
[22:28] <ochosi> bluesabre: wanna test it out though?
[22:30] <flocculant> ochosi: if no-one else bites I will ;)
[22:37] <bluesabre> ochosi: make it available and I'll have a go at it
[22:45] <bluesabre> ochosi: and I actually like the idea of it being greybird-theme-config, we could do some things with that
