[01:52] * Eickmeyer just tested the Beta build [01:52] Looks good to go! [01:52] * Eickmeyer checked the boxes [12:35] Hi, I use LyX for editing novels [12:36] I wonder why it's not part of Ubuntu Studio [12:36] It may fit well in the Publishing section, together with LaTeX [12:37] I was considering moving out from Lubuntu and adopt Ubuntu Studio [14:59] * OvenWerks likes lyx too... but doesn't write enough to know. [15:06] Do we have something installed by default that duplicates its functionality? [15:11] I think scrbus is the closest, but no latex output. [15:12] The thing is Lyx is a one thing deal. It only does latex and nothing else (last I looked) [15:13] Latex used to be the only way a publisher would accept a book but self publishing straight to printer is mostly pdf I think now [15:14] latex (and therefore Lyx) is still the top dog in math representation and I know my son used it in university. [15:18] I'm not comfortable adding it to the seed this close to beta (and release), so perhaps once EE opens, we can add it. [15:19] Honestly, though, Lubuntu doesn't install Lyx by default either, so I don't understand the point they were trying to make. [15:20] (I'd also counterpoint that we're not competing with Lubuntu, but that's a different story) [15:39] lyx and scribus are completely different tools for different purposes. lyx is really focused on writing etc … vs scribus is reallyabout pixelperfect layouts. [15:40] e.g I use scribus primarily for visual portfolios and posters. which latex in general is not very useful for. on opposite end, for a long text heavy content scribus is not ideal as you need to place and divide text content into pages manually. :) [15:41] closest equivalent actually is libreoffice. :) [15:46] OvenWerks, @azbulutlu, what do you think about adding it for 19.10 to the seed? [15:53] its not my place to decide. :) but it is a useful tool :) [15:56] @azbulutlu [its not my place to decide. :) but it is a useful tool :)], I was only asking for an opinion since I value your input. [16:05] OvenWerks: Carla 2.1 might land with an AVB backend. [16:06] Oh, I'm sorry. Out of context. It'd be Jack2's next version. [16:12] Carla with avb doesn't make sense, jackd2 does [16:13] There was a talk at LAC and someone has created an avb backend for jackd2 so it is just a matter of adding it.... and making it useful [16:14] The version they are using is 6sample buffering which eats cpu like crazy (according to one of the creators I was talking to) [16:15] This makes sense as just using jackd at 16/2 starts pushing things too. [16:16] This makes me wonder is this is part of Motu's problem with their AVB boxes. [16:20] It seems to be more of a pull request at this point, but it's looking good.
