[01:09] <Spass> ok, done some, but I didn't have time for much, sorry
[01:52] <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
[01:54] <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.)
[01:56] <pleia2> JackFrost: haha, I barely know what month it is ;) yah I should sync up with knome and get that done
[01:57] <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 ;)
[01:58] <JackFrost> Urgh...That's "fun" :3
[02:13] <bluesabre> Thanks for testing Spass[m], looks like we've hit the mandatory tests
[02:14] <bluesabre> I'll go ahead and mark us ready, I think
[02:14] <bluesabre> pleia2: will do, hope things are going well for you :)

[05:58] <knome> pleia2, <3
[10:48] <bluesabre> knome, pleia2, interested in "tooting"? https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/101590984302286489
[10:49] <knome> says log in
[10:49] <knome> :P
[10:53] <bluesabre> indeed
[10:53] <bluesabre> hmmm
[10:54] <bluesabre> welp, I have no idea how to publicly view a toot... maybe that's a private one :D
[10:55] <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
[10:56] <bluesabre> anyway, just relaying ;)
[10:57] <knome> heh
[10:57] <knome> yeah
[10:58] <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
[11:00] <knome> mmh
[11:01] <knome> let me know if you need assistance, like stuff to be done @twitter
[11:11] <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/
[11:12] <Spass[m]> so maybe there's no point on doing that, but that placeholder may be useful in the future :)
[11:20] <bluesabre> Spass[m]: yeah, at most I think that's what we'd do with it
[15:51] <xubuntu43w> Hello! The torrent download links on this page are broken: https://xubuntu.org/download
[15:52] <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.
[15:59] <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/..."?
[16:00] <Spass> Seems like "cdimages" links are better, because links to older point releases are still active
[16:05] <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/
[16:06] <Spass> So the links would be alive
[18:14] <knome> torrent links fixed
[22:20] <JackFrost> Urgh, can we dump gnome-software yet? :/
[22:24] <brainwash> for?
[22:24] <brainwash> it's the best solution right now
[22:26] <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.
[22:27] <brainwash> but overall it works fine
[22:27] <brainwash> you want to promote finding and install packages/snaps via the cli?
[22:27] <brainwash> :)
[22:28] <JackFrost> As for GUI, Synaptic seems to be the most functional, sadly.
[22:31] <brainwash> that one could be added as a bonus maybe
[22:31] <brainwash> the xubuntu iso is pretty oversized anyway :D
[22:32] <JackFrost> Hah. :D
[22:34] <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.
[22:35] <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)
[22:36] <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.
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <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.
[22:40] <bluesabre> Does synaptic have anything for installing downloaded .deb files? (the gdebi use case)
[22:43] <Spass> what about Eddy from elementary for .deb files? does elementary apps have many unwanted dependencies? https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.donadigo.eddy/
[22:44] <JackFrost> I don't see it in the archive, though I do see 'xteddy'
[22:44] <JackFrost> bluesabre: Not that I'm aware of.
[22:45] <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 :/
[22:47] <JackFrost> Fork of Elementary's appcenter.
[22:48] <JackFrost> Bummer, no wnpp.
