[01:52]  * Eickmeyer just tested the Beta build
[01:52] <Eickmeyer> Looks good to go!
[01:52]  * Eickmeyer checked the boxes
[12:35] <studio-devel145> Hi, I use LyX for editing novels
[12:36] <studio-devel145> I wonder why it's not part of Ubuntu Studio
[12:36] <studio-devel145> It may fit well in the Publishing section, together with LaTeX
[12:37] <studio-devel145> 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] <Eickmeyer> Do we have something installed by default that duplicates its functionality?
[15:11] <OvenWerks> I think scrbus is the closest, but no latex output.
[15:12] <OvenWerks> The thing is Lyx is a one thing deal. It only does latex and nothing else (last I looked)
[15:13] <OvenWerks> 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] <OvenWerks> latex (and therefore Lyx) is still the top dog in math representation and I know my son used it in university.
[15:18] <Eickmeyer> 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] <Eickmeyer> Honestly, though, Lubuntu doesn't install Lyx by default either, so I don't understand the point they were trying to make.
[15:20] <Eickmeyer> (I'd also counterpoint that we're not competing with Lubuntu, but that's a different story)
 lyx and scribus are completely different tools for different purposes. lyx is really focused on writing etc …  vs scribus is reallyabout pixelperfect layouts.
 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. :)
 closest equivalent actually is libreoffice. :)
[15:46] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks, @azbulutlu, what do you think about adding it for 19.10 to the seed?
 its not my place to decide. :) but it is a useful tool :)
 @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] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks: Carla 2.1 might land with an AVB backend.
[16:06] <Eickmeyer> Oh, I'm sorry. Out of context. It'd be Jack2's next version.
[16:12] <OvenWerks> Carla with avb doesn't make sense, jackd2 does
[16:13] <OvenWerks> 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] <OvenWerks> 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] <OvenWerks> This makes sense as just using jackd at 16/2 starts pushing things too.
[16:16] <OvenWerks> This makes me wonder is this is part of Motu's problem with their AVB boxes.
[16:20] <Eickmeyer> It seems to be more of a pull request at this point, but it's looking good.
