wxlany questions?22:37
guiverc(stunned silence due to volume of ..)22:38
lubot<HMollerCl> @wxl [<wxl> any questions?], still reading22:39
kc2bezYou've got a 5X2 screen too?22:39
wxl2x3 array of 5x2s?22:40
kc2bezXD22:41
kc2bezThat is fantastic wxl22:41
lubot<HMollerCl> wxl: reagrding the lxde vs lxqt article, there is also the 32bit issue that needs to be adressed. What will be our official response for someone with 32bit systtem. Install 18.04 or 18.10 (the last 32 bit iso) and roll....??22:42
wxli don't know.... i guess it depends on what's in the archives for 19.10+... which we don't know!22:42
lubot<HMollerCl> so, 18.04 then?22:44
wxli really don't WANT to say that22:45
wxli am chomping at the bit to stop supporting LXDE22:45
lubot<lynorian> I know22:45
kc2bezIt is tough to support with no upstream activity.22:46
wxlright22:46
wxlbut i think practically we need to tell people to use it if they're on 32 bit22:47
wxlor perhaps tell them not to even bother because once 2021 rolls around they're going to have to find something else anyways.. soemthing outside of ubuntu22:47
kc2bezIt is something they will need to plan for.22:48
wxlmaybe we recommend LXQt as it's the DE we would recommend people use REGARDLESS of what distro they're on22:48
wxland using it, though it will come with even more limited length of support, will give them experience with it22:48
wxlthis way they can pave their own transition to the next distro22:49
kc2bezDebian 10 isn't a bad option.22:49
wxlagreed22:49
wxlagaida keeps saying we're going to have ISOs22:49
kc2bezLXQt is the same version we are on.22:49
kc2bezxfce-wm though.22:50
wxlwhat? noooo22:50
kc2bezumm hmm22:51
wxli guess it doesn't matter too much22:51
wxlwindow managers, sans decorations, are relatively invisible22:51
kc2bezIt seems to work ok.22:51
wxland having something other than openbox might be nice22:51
wxlopenbox works fine but you do know the dev said the project is "done"22:51
wxlso it's never going to get better22:52
kc2bezWe will have to transition to something at some point.22:52
wxlthere's been some discussion about that...22:53
lubot<N0um3n0> @wxl [<wxl> openbox works fine but you do know the dev said the project is "done"], and there are other options for lubuntu outside of openbox?22:53
lubot<HMollerCl> adn there is wayland...22:53
wxl@N0um3n0 technically every window manager is an option. heck, i use awesome. lynorian has used i3. i'd really like to try sway.22:54
kc2bezI've tested Kwin22:54
kc2bezit works too22:55
wxlyep22:55
lubot<lynorian> how to login using wayland isn't quite easy to know how to do changing wm is easier I think22:55
wxlyes lyn22:55
wxlalso re: kwin it's not necessarily resource intensive. you can turn down all the fancy features and it's pretty light22:55
lubot<lynorian> well I used i3 by itself I use openbox now just so the screenshots look like default22:55
wxlit's not necessarily *small* but honestly i'm not sure hard drive space is much of an issue anymore22:56
lubot<N0um3n0> i try xfwm4, and  kwin but they are not as light as openbox22:56
wxlespecially in an day and age where we don't support 32 bit22:56
wxlthere used to be a package specifically to turn down all the fancy features in kubuntu22:56
lubot<tsimonq2> ack22:56
lubot<tsimonq2> XD22:57
kc2bezKwin wasn't that much more, maybe 100Mb22:57
wxlgo answer that task, simon22:57
lubot<tsimonq2> Which?22:57
lubot<N0um3n0> @kc2bez [<kc2bez> Kwin wasn't that much more, maybe 100Mb], lubuntu looks spectacular with kwin and effects activated22:57
wxlsiiiiiigh22:57
wxldude you better get yourself checked. i hear black holes emit radiation :/22:58
kc2bezI think wxl is referring to D2122:58
lubot<lynorian> would kwin be worse on vm though22:58
wxlnaw i've used it before22:58
lubot<tsimonq2> I've been extremely busy :(22:58
lubot<tsimonq2> I'll be back within the week in full swing22:59
wxlyour lubuntu family needs you, dude. pencil in some time for us. or at least reply to an email every now and then.22:59
wxlalso: didn't you already learn the lesson not to take on too much stuff? :)22:59
kc2bezI actually tested it today lynorian I think I have screenshots.23:00
lubot<tsimonq2> I'm working on a project for $work with a tight deadline, but the project is creating a customized Ubuntu ISO, so that's the first thing I'm doing when I come back: some ISO tooling in the CI23:00
lubot<tsimonq2> Hah23:00
lubot<tsimonq2> Nooope, I still take on a lot :P23:00
wxlit's not good23:00
lubot<tsimonq2> If you guys urgently need something from me, keep poking23:00
wxlthat D21 is the one urgent thing we really have, so if you could look at that and perhaps take steps towards it, that would be great23:00
lubot<tsimonq2> I'm not going totally AFK but I have prior commitments :/23:00
lubot<tsimonq2> Merge and upload iirc23:01
lubot<tsimonq2> You can do that ;)23:01
wxlok, as long as it's got your stamp of approval for sure then i'll do it23:01
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [rCALAPACKAGING3d796470f367: Package calamares for new upstream release.] wxl (Walter Lapchynski) committed: https://phab.lubuntu.me/rCALAPACKAGING3d796470f36723:03
lubot<tsimonq2> For Disco, we're actually going to go the route of patching lubuntu-default-settings which should be installed on all systems we technically support23:03
lubot<tsimonq2> We can't respin the ISO23:03
lubot<tsimonq2> I'd also like some verification that the option to do updates during the install is actually working when the installation has internet access23:04
lubot<tsimonq2> I think that's switched on but I haven't explicitly tested it23:04
wxlwell if my usb-creator-kde SRU gets approved23:05
lubot<tsimonq2> Brief me on the status of that real quick?23:05
wxlmade an PPA, was tested successfully, merge request approved and in release for eoan, wrote the SRU appropriately, attached all the debdiffs, subscribed ubuntu-sponsors23:06
lubot<tsimonq2> Give me the bug number and I'll ask for someone to sponsor it who has more time than I do at the moment ASAP23:07
