[22:41] XD [22:41] That is fantastic wxl [22:42] 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] i don't know.... i guess it depends on what's in the archives for 19.10+... which we don't know! [22:44] so, 18.04 then? [22:45] i really don't WANT to say that [22:45] i am chomping at the bit to stop supporting LXDE [22:45] I know [22:46] It is tough to support with no upstream activity. [22:46] right [22:47] but i think practically we need to tell people to use it if they're on 32 bit [22:47] or 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 ubuntu [22:48] It is something they will need to plan for. [22:48] maybe we recommend LXQt as it's the DE we would recommend people use REGARDLESS of what distro they're on [22:48] and using it, though it will come with even more limited length of support, will give them experience with it [22:49] this way they can pave their own transition to the next distro [22:49] Debian 10 isn't a bad option. [22:49] agreed [22:49] agaida keeps saying we're going to have ISOs [22:49] LXQt is the same version we are on. [22:50] xfce-wm though. [22:50] what? noooo [22:51] umm hmm [22:51] i guess it doesn't matter too much [22:51] window managers, sans decorations, are relatively invisible [22:51] It seems to work ok. [22:51] and having something other than openbox might be nice [22:51] openbox works fine but you do know the dev said the project is "done" [22:52] so it's never going to get better [22:52] We will have to transition to something at some point. [22:53] there's been some discussion about that... [22:53] @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] adn there is wayland... [22:54] @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] I've tested Kwin [22:55] it works too [22:55] yep [22:55] how to login using wayland isn't quite easy to know how to do changing wm is easier I think [22:55] yes lyn [22:55] also re: kwin it's not necessarily resource intensive. you can turn down all the fancy features and it's pretty light [22:55] well I used i3 by itself I use openbox now just so the screenshots look like default [22:56] it's not necessarily *small* but honestly i'm not sure hard drive space is much of an issue anymore [22:56] i try xfwm4, and kwin but they are not as light as openbox [22:56] especially in an day and age where we don't support 32 bit [22:56] there used to be a package specifically to turn down all the fancy features in kubuntu [22:56] ack [22:57] XD [22:57] Kwin wasn't that much more, maybe 100Mb [22:57] go answer that task, simon [22:57] Which? [22:57] @kc2bez [ Kwin wasn't that much more, maybe 100Mb], lubuntu looks spectacular with kwin and effects activated [22:57] siiiiiigh [22:58] dude you better get yourself checked. i hear black holes emit radiation :/ [22:58] I think wxl is referring to D21 [22:58] would kwin be worse on vm though [22:58] naw i've used it before [22:58] I've been extremely busy :( [22:59] I'll be back within the week in full swing [22:59] your lubuntu family needs you, dude. pencil in some time for us. or at least reply to an email every now and then. [22:59] also: didn't you already learn the lesson not to take on too much stuff? :) [23:00] I actually tested it today lynorian I think I have screenshots. [23:00] 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 CI [23:00] Hah [23:00] Nooope, I still take on a lot :P [23:00] it's not good [23:00] If you guys urgently need something from me, keep poking [23:00] that 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 great [23:00] I'm not going totally AFK but I have prior commitments :/ [23:01] Merge and upload iirc [23:01] You can do that ;) [23:01] ok, as long as it's got your stamp of approval for sure then i'll do it [23:03] -lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [rCALAPACKAGING3d796470f367: Package calamares for new upstream release.] wxl (Walter Lapchynski) committed: https://phab.lubuntu.me/rCALAPACKAGING3d796470f367 [23:03] For Disco, we're actually going to go the route of patching lubuntu-default-settings which should be installed on all systems we technically support [23:03] We can't respin the ISO [23:04] I'd also like some verification that the option to do updates during the install is actually working when the installation has internet access [23:04] I think that's switched on but I haven't explicitly tested it [23:05] well if my usb-creator-kde SRU gets approved [23:05] Brief me on the status of that real quick? [23:06] made an PPA, was tested successfully, merge request approved and in release for eoan, wrote the SRU appropriately, attached all the debdiffs, subscribed ubuntu-sponsors [23:07] Give me the bug number and I'll ask for someone to sponsor it who has more time than I do at the moment ASAP [23:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1629715 [23:08] Launchpad bug 1629715 in usb-creator (Ubuntu Disco) "[SRU] usb-creator-kde shows the install popup after a few seconds of launching without any input" [High, Triaged] [23:35] new calamares is in proposed folks [23:36] boot live, enable proposed, install calamares, install [23:36] should be 3.2.11-0ubuntu1 [23:40] Thanks wxl [23:40] would have done it sooner but i get nervous about things sometimes [23:41] now if it would just get released i could push this darn tag sheesh [23:41] I know the feeling.
