[02:24] <Digit> hi, just wondering if/when next release likely hapn?
[02:24] <Digit>     ~~ wondering which release best to go for, 16.04.3LTS or 17.10 or wait for next release out in a few days/weeks(?)...?
[02:31] <slidinghorn> Digit: the Ubuntu release is scheduled for I think April 26th.  I don't know if Studio is on that same schedule or not, however
[03:01] <Digit> thanks for the info. :)  *downloading 17.10 for now on that basis at least a fortnight*
[03:03] <slidinghorn> Digit: 18.04 is available, it's just in beta until then, so there may be some quirks
[03:09] <Digit> while investigating what it takes to install on devuan, natron (which i hear good things about), i thought to look to ubuntu studio again.  it probably doesnt even have natron... ... even in the beta release?
[03:25] <slidinghorn> Digit: not sure what that is, but I don't see it in the repos via apt-cache search
[03:27] <Digit> natron's claim to fame is to be a foss replacement for after effects.  or the nearest to such a thing.
[03:27] <Digit> seems ideal to get included in ubuntustudio

[03:34] <slidinghorn> Digit: compton is available in the repos if you're looking for a compositor
[03:34] <Digit> afaik, compton's a different kind of beast.  different role of "compositor".
[03:35] <slidinghorn> oh, I was thinking window compositing...
[03:35] <Digit> if you mean compton the an X composite manager
[03:36] <Digit> yeah
[05:21] <ErichEickmeyer> Digit, slidinghorn: Ubuntu Studio is releasing 18.04 on April 26th. The difference is that this one is, unfortunately due to low manpower, not an LTS. We hope to pick-up some momentum for 18.10 with some new features.
[05:22] <slidinghorn> ErichEickmeyer: I don't know how much help I'd be, but I'd be willing to volunteer where I can
[05:24] <ErichEickmeyer> slidinghorn: Excellent! Anything at this point helps, but the need in 18.10 is going to especially be for packagers. Check out https://ubuntustudio.org/contribute. 18.04 can also use a ton of testing. Any and all bug reporting is invaluable. :)
[05:25] <slidinghorn> ErichEickmeyer: interestingly enough, i'm trying to learn how to package right now, lol
[05:26] <ErichEickmeyer> slidinghorn: Good! and... same. :) I know how to package for .rpm, so I've been trying to learn .deb to transfer that knowledge.
[05:27] <slidinghorn> I'm doing my first one now, but the packaging guide is a little lacking for cmake-compiled software
[05:31] <ErichEickmeyer> Yeah, it's a different ball-of-wax for sure.
[20:26] <h9l> Greetings from Romania.
[20:27] <h9l> Sorry to bother, but could someone please help me setup Jack? It fails to initialize the server when I launch it in Regular Ubuntu -and- Ubuntu Studio.
[20:27] <h9l> Something about the capture card.
[20:29] <h9l_> Here's a copy of the error log:

[20:30] <h9l_> Could someone please help?
[20:33] <slidinghorn> h9l_: Using qjackctl?
[20:33] <h9l_> yup
[20:34] <h9l_> Brand spanking new install of Ubuntu Studio, throwing out the same error I got in my Regular ubuntu.
[20:34] <h9l_> And here I thought I messed something up.
[20:34] <slidinghorn> h9l_: which version of ubuntu studio are you using?
[20:35] <h9l_> 17.10
[20:36] <h9l_> I'm a dumb ass

[20:36] <h9l_> Found the solution.
[20:36] <slidinghorn> h9l_: that worked for you?
[20:37] <h9l_> Didn't set an interface
[20:37] <h9l_> Rebooting for some updates. Cheers!
