| Spass | ok, done some, but I didn't have time for much, sorry | 01:09 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | bluesabre: good testing tweet! feel free to nudge for a retweet (baby care means I'm distant, but so still see irc pings, eventually :)) | 01:52 |
| * pleia2 rt on @xubuntu just now anyway | 01:52 | |
| JackFrost | pleia2: IIRC, I was supposed to poke you in two weeks about dev.xubuntu.org upgrade? | 01:54 |
| JackFrost | (There's a slight chance my 'two week timer' is off by...a few weeks.) | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | JackFrost: haha, I barely know what month it is ;) yah I should sync up with knome and get that done | 01:56 |
| pleia2 | kiddo is almost 6 weeks old now, so I do have 2 hour blocks of time where I'm not trying to nap some days ;) | 01:57 |
| JackFrost | Urgh...That's "fun" :3 | 01:58 |
| bluesabre | Thanks for testing Spass[m], looks like we've hit the mandatory tests | 02:13 |
| bluesabre | I'll go ahead and mark us ready, I think | 02:14 |
| bluesabre | pleia2: will do, hope things are going well for you :) | 02:14 |

| knome | pleia2, <3 | 05:58 |
| bluesabre | knome, pleia2, interested in "tooting"? https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/101590984302286489 | 10:48 |
| knome | says log in | 10:49 |
| knome | :P | 10:49 |
| bluesabre | indeed | 10:53 |
| bluesabre | hmmm | 10:53 |
| bluesabre | welp, I have no idea how to publicly view a toot... maybe that's a private one :D | 10:54 |
| knome | lol | 10:55 |
| bluesabre | https://ubuntu.social/@xubuntu Spass created a placeholder xubuntu one if we want it | 10:55 |
| knome | i believe most people wish most of their toots were private | 10:55 |
| knome | oh meh, yet another social media platform that will die | 10:55 |
| bluesabre | anyway, just relaying ;) | 10:56 |
| knome | heh | 10:57 |
| knome | yeah | 10:57 |
| bluesabre | We might be able to turn it into a bot account that just mirrors the twitter account | 10:58 |
| bluesabre | I can look into that | 10:58 |
| knome | mmh | 11:00 |
| knome | let me know if you need assistance, like stuff to be done @twitter | 11:01 |
| Spass[m] | yeah, at this point most "official" mastodon accounts are just auto-retweeting, for example ubuntu one uses this tool - https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/ | 11:11 |
| Spass[m] | so maybe there's no point on doing that, but that placeholder may be useful in the future :) | 11:12 |
| bluesabre | Spass[m]: yeah, at most I think that's what we'd do with it | 11:20 |
| xubuntu43w | Hello! The torrent download links on this page are broken: https://xubuntu.org/download | 15:51 |
| xubuntu43w | They point to 18.04.1, but the site only has 18.04.2 | 15:52 |
| xubuntu43w | Not sure if this is the proper place to report this. | 15:52 |
| Spass | By the way, is there a reason Torrent links are directed to "http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/bionic/release/desktop/..." instead of "http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/18.04/release/..."? | 15:59 |
| Spass | Seems like "cdimages" links are better, because links to older point releases are still active | 16:00 |
| Spass | I shouldn't add "..." to links, so to make it clearer, here's only the absolutely newest release - http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/bionic/release/desktop/ | 16:05 |
| Spass | But here all is still there - http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/18.04/release/ | 16:05 |
| Spass | So the links would be alive | 16:06 |
| knome | torrent links fixed | 18:14 |
| JackFrost | Urgh, can we dump gnome-software yet? :/ | 22:20 |
| brainwash | for? | 22:24 |
| brainwash | it's the best solution right now | 22:24 |
| JackFrost | I'd disagree on that point, it continues to do things very poorly. | 22:26 |
| brainwash | there are some corner cases, yes | 22:26 |
| JackFrost | More than a couple. | 22:26 |
| brainwash | but overall it works fine | 22:27 |
| brainwash | you want to promote finding and install packages/snaps via the cli? | 22:27 |
| brainwash | :) | 22:27 |
| JackFrost | As for GUI, Synaptic seems to be the most functional, sadly. | 22:28 |
| brainwash | that one could be added as a bonus maybe | 22:31 |
| brainwash | the xubuntu iso is pretty oversized anyway :D | 22:31 |
| JackFrost | Hah. :D | 22:32 |
| JackFrost | There are now 10 of those emails pending. | 22:34 |
| bluesabre | JackFrost: related to this! Is gdebi going away... it does seem to be currently broken. | 22:34 |
| bluesabre | JackFrost: and yeah, will probably kick the size limit if I have access, or will ping some folks | 22:35 |
| JackFrost | bluesabre: I've heard nothing, but it's been nmu'd twice and is very poorly maintained. | 22:35 |
| bluesabre | in my recent usage, synaptic has shown itself to be pretty darn zippy (very different from g-s) | 22:35 |
| JackFrost | brainwash did point out that it doesn't do snaps, if one cares about that (I don't.) | 22:36 |
| bluesabre | It's zippy, not snappy ;) | 22:36 |
| JackFrost | Debian #915298, so I'd say gdebi is soon to disappear. | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 915298 in src:gdebi "gdebi FTBFS with pyflakes 2.0.0-1" [Serious,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/915298 | 22:36 |
| JackFrost | bluesabre: Hah, yeah. Also better at finding things, since it doesn't solely rely on appstream. | 22:37 |
| bluesabre | are there other .deb frontends? | 22:37 |
| JackFrost | Moun! :P | 22:37 |
| JackFrost | I'm not aware of anything, but I don't tend to use graphical package management either. Synaptic has a few things that I can't get from 'apt' directly, though. | 22:38 |
| bluesabre | Does synaptic have anything for installing downloaded .deb files? (the gdebi use case) | 22:40 |
| Spass | what about Eddy from elementary for .deb files? does elementary apps have many unwanted dependencies? https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.donadigo.eddy/ | 22:43 |
| JackFrost | I don't see it in the archive, though I do see 'xteddy' | 22:44 |
| JackFrost | bluesabre: Not that I'm aware of. | 22:44 |
| Spass | also, I stumbled upon AppHive, but I doubt it's better than GNOME Software - https://github.com/nick92/apphive | 22:45 |
| Spass | yeah, Eddy is elementary "exclusive" unfortunately :/ | 22:45 |
| JackFrost | Fork of Elementary's appcenter. | 22:47 |
| JackFrost | Bummer, no wnpp. | 22:48 |
