Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks: Found another issue: we can't be making symbolic links in the .postinst. We can, however, make relative symbolic links in the source itself, which was super easy so I just did it. Reason being is we can't have absolute paths.04:51
OvenWerksOk, Eickmeyer[m] I originally tried making relative links and gave up. I guess I did not fully spec the relative link. I assumed filename would be in the current directory. I guess everything has to be ./path/name then05:40
OvenWerks(or ${PWD}/ ?05:41
Eickmeyer[m]Not exactly. Since the targets were in systemd/user already, it was a matter of going into that directory, making (for example) the default.target.wants directory then, inside default.target.wants, "ln -s ../studio.service studio.service" and repeat for the other one.05:43
Eickmeyer[m]OvenWerks ^05:44
Eickmeyer[m]When one uses ../{file} for the link target, it remembers that as a relative link.05:44
OvenWerksSo long as it works, I am happy05:45
Eickmeyer[m]It does. It effectively does what you were trying to do, but much more "packagable" for lack of a better term.05:45
OvenWerksThank you.05:46
Eickmeyer[m]No problem. Glad to help. :)05:46
OvenWerksAt some point the dbus_send commands should be replaced with python dbus commands.06:07
OvenWerksI learned how to recieve them, but not send them.06:07
EickmeyerIt looks like our dry spell of not being able to boot inside a VM is over.16:14
EickmeyerThat said, it looks like Virtualbox hates Xfce's display compositor.16:16
studiobot<teward001> VBox hates everything :P18:06
studiobot<teward001> @Eickmeyer do you need me to test something in VMware?18:06
studiobot<teward001> (image, etc.)18:06
studiobot<Eickmeyer> @teward001 Yeah, feel free to test the latest Studio image in VMWare, if you want. Historically we haven't supported VMs, but this is looking a bit more promising.18:07
studiobot<teward001> *goes to download*19:27
studiobot<teward001> @Eickmeyer [<Eickmeyer> That said, it looks like Virtualbox hates Xfce's display compositor.], I assume you installed the VBox Guest Extensions?19:34
studiobot<teward001> (for that 'test')19:34
studiobot<Eickmeyer> Yes.19:34
studiobot<teward001> cool.  10min ETA on the download finishing here19:34
studiobot<teward001> +- 5min19:35
studiobot<Eickmeyer> ^ In other words, the basic amount of time it takes to download.19:35
studiobot<teward001> yup.  using zsync tho :P19:35
studiobot<Eickmeyer> Which means 90% checking against what you already have.19:36
studiobot<teward001> which is nothing :P19:36
studiobot<teward001> so full download19:36
studiobot<Eickmeyer> Yep. Standard direct download at that point.19:38
