[01:09] ok, done some, but I didn't have time for much, sorry [01:52] 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 [01:54] pleia2: IIRC, I was supposed to poke you in two weeks about dev.xubuntu.org upgrade? [01:54] (There's a slight chance my 'two week timer' is off by...a few weeks.) [01:56] JackFrost: haha, I barely know what month it is ;) yah I should sync up with knome and get that done [01:57] 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 ;) [01:58] Urgh...That's "fun" :3 [02:13] Thanks for testing Spass[m], looks like we've hit the mandatory tests [02:14] I'll go ahead and mark us ready, I think [02:14] pleia2: will do, hope things are going well for you :) === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:39] -SwissBot:#xubuntu-devel- ::platform:: Add masakari-api and masakari-engine to misc-servers. @ http://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform/commit/?id=5a71d37663c9f8e0bc7a7cde3c1306bb60b46200 (by Corey Bryant) [05:58] pleia2, <3 [10:48] knome, pleia2, interested in "tooting"? https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/101590984302286489 [10:49] says log in [10:49] :P [10:53] indeed [10:53] hmmm [10:54] welp, I have no idea how to publicly view a toot... maybe that's a private one :D [10:55] lol [10:55] https://ubuntu.social/@xubuntu Spass created a placeholder xubuntu one if we want it [10:55] i believe most people wish most of their toots were private [10:55] oh meh, yet another social media platform that will die [10:56] anyway, just relaying ;) [10:57] heh [10:57] yeah [10:58] We might be able to turn it into a bot account that just mirrors the twitter account [10:58] I can look into that [11:00] mmh [11:01] let me know if you need assistance, like stuff to be done @twitter [11:11] 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/ [11:12] so maybe there's no point on doing that, but that placeholder may be useful in the future :) [11:20] Spass[m]: yeah, at most I think that's what we'd do with it [15:51] Hello! The torrent download links on this page are broken: https://xubuntu.org/download [15:52] They point to 18.04.1, but the site only has 18.04.2 [15:52] Not sure if this is the proper place to report this. [15:59] 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/..."? [16:00] Seems like "cdimages" links are better, because links to older point releases are still active [16:05] 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] But here all is still there - http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/18.04/release/ [16:06] So the links would be alive [18:14] torrent links fixed [22:20] Urgh, can we dump gnome-software yet? :/ [22:24] for? [22:24] it's the best solution right now [22:26] I'd disagree on that point, it continues to do things very poorly. [22:26] there are some corner cases, yes [22:26] More than a couple. [22:27] but overall it works fine [22:27] you want to promote finding and install packages/snaps via the cli? [22:27] :) [22:28] As for GUI, Synaptic seems to be the most functional, sadly. [22:31] that one could be added as a bonus maybe [22:31] the xubuntu iso is pretty oversized anyway :D [22:32] Hah. :D [22:34] There are now 10 of those emails pending. [22:34] JackFrost: related to this! Is gdebi going away... it does seem to be currently broken. [22:35] JackFrost: and yeah, will probably kick the size limit if I have access, or will ping some folks [22:35] bluesabre: I've heard nothing, but it's been nmu'd twice and is very poorly maintained. [22:35] in my recent usage, synaptic has shown itself to be pretty darn zippy (very different from g-s) [22:36] brainwash did point out that it doesn't do snaps, if one cares about that (I don't.) [22:36] It's zippy, not snappy ;) [22:36] Debian #915298, so I'd say gdebi is soon to disappear. [22:36] Debian bug 915298 in src:gdebi "gdebi FTBFS with pyflakes 2.0.0-1" [Serious,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/915298 [22:37] bluesabre: Hah, yeah. Also better at finding things, since it doesn't solely rely on appstream. [22:37] are there other .deb frontends? [22:37] Moun! :P [22:38] 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. [22:40] Does synaptic have anything for installing downloaded .deb files? (the gdebi use case) [22:43] what about Eddy from elementary for .deb files? does elementary apps have many unwanted dependencies? https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.donadigo.eddy/ [22:44] I don't see it in the archive, though I do see 'xteddy' [22:44] bluesabre: Not that I'm aware of. [22:45] also, I stumbled upon AppHive, but I doubt it's better than GNOME Software - https://github.com/nick92/apphive [22:45] yeah, Eddy is elementary "exclusive" unfortunately :/ [22:47] Fork of Elementary's appcenter. [22:48] Bummer, no wnpp.
