willcooketkamppeter, On Disco I can't choose to print in Black & White to my colour printer - how can I help fix it?09:50
willcookeafaict, it's using IPP09:51
willcookeIn Printer Options -> Colour Mode ->  Only Colour is listed09:52
willcookeOn 18.04 I was able to print in B&W, but maybe I fiddled with the drivers?09:52
tkamppeterwillcooke, please post a bug report, telling which printer model, how it is connected, which PPD it got assigned (in /etc/cups/ppd/), error_log, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems for more info.09:53
willcookethanks tkamppeter09:53
willcooketkamppeter, where should the bug go?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups ?10:15
tkamppeterYes10:23
Laneydear awesome bar, please forget about the 19.04 trello board10:56
james_brownhow do i publish proprietary software in the Ubuntu Software Center?11:54
Laneycreate a snap package and publish it to the snap store11:56
seb128Do we switch to gcc9 by default in e? was that announced somewhere?11:58
Laneyyep, and Dimitri's post on discourse mentioned it: https://community.ubuntu.com/t/eoan-is-open-for-development/1077212:00
james_brownLaney And what if I want to publish them on PPA?12:01
seb128Laney, thx12:01
Laneyjames_brown: Well that wouldn't be visible in the software centre12:04
james_brownLaney I know, I was just informed by the delopment team that they dont want to release the software on snap for now12:06
LaneyOK, well then I guess it's not possible then12:07
james_brownreally? proprietary software can only be released through snap?12:07
LaneyNo. You asked about having it visible in Software12:08
james_brownyeah forget that part for now :D12:09
LaneyThen you can use a PPA12:09
james_brownhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU .    here it says i should release it for debian first and then sync it to ubuntu12:09
james_browndoes debian support close source packages?12:10
LaneySure, if you can find someone willing to sponsor it to 'non-free' for you12:10
james_brownthe software is free, just not open source12:11
Laneyyep, it means non-free software, not non-free cost12:11
james_brownoh i see12:12
james_brownthank you12:12
LaneyYou'll have a hard time updating it in released versions of Debian/Ubuntu though - a lot of software vendors find this restriction problematic12:13
LaneyThe repositories are more-or-less frozen at release time12:13
james_brownwhy is that?12:14
james_brownso Snap would be the best way to release a software that is easy to update?12:15
LaneyThat's one of its big selling points - updating is in the hands of the maintainer rather than the distribution12:15
james_brownbut debian will not allow me to release updates?12:17
Laneyhttps://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.html#upload-stable12:19
ograit will allow you to release into the next/upcoming debian release by finding a willing sponsor among the debian uploaders ... or you can use the backports repository to provide a backport to debian users ...12:19
LaneyThere are backports12:19
james_brownoh ok12:19
ogra(compared to a snap package this involves a lot of paperwork and communication indeed)12:20
LaneyI don't know that I'd really advise this route for maintaining one piece of proprietary software12:20
ograyeah12:20
james_brownso i see that releasing a snap package is the easiest and least painful way12:20
ogradefinitely12:20
LaneyMore common is for vendors to maintain their own .deb archive on their website, if you do insist on using .deb packages for whatever reason12:20
ogra(and you show up in the SW center for free ;) )12:21
Laneyindeed12:21
james_browni see12:22
james_browncould you elaborate on the "maintain their own .deb archive on their website" part?  they dont need to be .deb packages at any cost, its just what was suggested by that ubuntu wiki page12:23
LaneySee what Chrome and Skype and Spotify do (although some of those offer Snaps too)12:25
LaneyMost of the documentation you'll find about the Ubuntu archive is going to be about free software12:25
james_brownand by free you mean open source12:25
Laneyas in this sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software12:26
james_brownok12:27
Laneygoing to eat my lunch now, hope this has been helpful12:27
james_brownso i will look into how Chrome and Skype to that.  Thank you all for the help12:27
james_brownenjoy your food!12:27
james_brownit was12:27
james_brownogra Wait a minute, returning to the updatin .deb packages subject, if repositories are frozen at release time how is it that i can always update software on ubuntu with apt upgrade?12:43
Gargoylejames_brown: Things like Chrome will add their own entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which will then be scanned when you run "apt update".12:45
ograjames_brown, ubuntu does regular security updates of supported debs and there is also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates12:45
ograthis is what you typically get with apt upgrade12:45
james_brownGargoyle and a regular developer cant do that?13:17
ograno, a sysadmin of the user machine can do that ...13:21
ograthey just provide their own repo or a PPA or whatnot ... and instructions how to add it to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/13:22
james_brownok so i could add instuctions to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ so that my software will update every time u hit apt upgrade13:23
ograno, you add instructions to a website, blogpost etc ... the admin then adds it to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ if he wants to ...13:24
ograif you use a PPA the instructions are typically at the top of the PPA page on lanuchpad13:24
james_brownoh ok13:25
james_browni see13:25
james_brownthanks a lot13:25

willcooketkamppeter,  ok, maybe this isn't a CUPS thing at all, but a Gtk thing.  I will keep plying13:32
willcookeplaying13:32
willcookeAnyone running D or E with a colour (laser) printer?  Looking for someone to check something for me (cc tkamppeter)13:55
Laneyfraid not, but my inkjet definitely has those options present in disco14:14
LaneyI used them the other day14:14

jackpot51Which IRC channel should I discuss this in?16:23
gQuigsI'd think #ubuntu-devel16:29
gQuigsbut afaict that patch seems to indicate it should really be fixed elsewhere...16:30
jackpot51It is already applied in systemd master16:34

LaneyTrevinho: I'm not going to upload to Debian/eoan before 3.33.4 now, no point in bothering19:18
Laneyhow do you always manage to make such big patch series?!?!?!19:19
LaneyTrevinho: get duflu's thing merged for 3.33.4 please :)19:21
Laneynow the real reason I'm online is to attempt a crossgrade from i386 to amd64 on my server - wish me luck ...19:21
popeyyou should write that up, i reckon people would find your experience useful19:23
popeys/people/I/19:23
popey(as I have an i386 bitfolk vps)19:23
LaneyI'm going to follow https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading19:23
popeyooh19:23
Laneyexcept for bitfolk you have to run some "arch" command in the shell before booting to the amd64 kernel19:24
popeybet a blog post syndicated on planet ubuntu would get more viewers19:24
Laneyhaha19:24
popey(I had no idea it was called crossgrading)19:24
Laneynod, it's a bit of an obscure term19:24
seb128could someone who speaks vala have a look to that one liner to see if it makes sense to them to fix a ftbfs? https://code.launchpad.net/~khurshid-alam/indicator-keyboard/vala-44-fix/+merge/36979419:25
