bluesabreExceptionally so, and I love it. :D01:43
bluesabre(the focal metaphor)01:43
bluesabreScrolling is for not-seans01:43
JackFrostI appear to be a not-Sean! :'(01:44
JackFrostIs it better being a Sean?01:45
bluesabreCongrats01:45
bluesabreDefinitely01:45
JackFrostDang.01:45
bluesabreBut I'm biased01:45
bluesabreWhat's up Mr. Frost?01:45
JackFrostSpring is upon us, misery is here. :>01:46
JackFrost...Had a bird attack today too.01:46
bluesabre:D01:46
JackFrostAnd more on topic, Core is still broken, I have no idea why thus no idea how to fix it. \o/01:47
bluesabreThat's fun!01:47
JackFrost(I'd take snakes over having to deal with birds any day.)  Yeeeah..01:47
bluesabreAny potential leads for the issue?01:47
bluesabreI've had birds land on my head on more than one occasion01:48
JackFrostAh, this was getting a bird out where it shouldn't be.  Luckily this time I didn't get crapped on, that's happened in the past a few times.  Nope, not really.01:48
JackFrostI think I'll ask you a thing in another channel.01:51
bluesabreOh boy01:51
jphilipsJackFrost: is there an ubuntu core for LTS?02:24
jphilipsthe webpage needs a correction as its not "about 600MB" anymore :D02:31
jphilipsclose to 80002:31
jphilipsalso wont be able to "fit on a CD" :D02:33
=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
jphilipsit mentions 'See also Appendix A of the Xubuntu docs' and assume this is what you mean - http://unit193.net/xubuntu/docs/user/C/appendix-packages.html02:47
jphilipsbut that isnt any different than what comes with the full version02:49
JackFrostjphilips: Hah, that indeed is very true, unfortunately and annoyingly.  Some things are either missing or not included in Core, that appendix gives ideas for what features you may want but are missing.  Of course, it's now out of date..03:07
JackFrostjphilips: As far as "Did I generate 18.04 Xubuntu Core?" Yes, I did.  Been doing it for quite a few releases now.03:10
jphilipsJackFrost: cant find a download for it03:10
jphilipsonly 19.10 is on the download page03:10
JackFrostRight, only the latest is included.03:11
JackFrostI generate torrents every time, I could perhaps find the correct magnet for that.03:11
JackFrostbluesabre: 'initramfs unpacking failed: write error' is the only hint.04:31
JackFrostjphilips: Did you end up getting in touch with popey, in regards to editing wiki?05:30
jphilipsyes someone here gave me edit access to the docs and i made my first change to the window manager dialog page05:30
jphilipssorry my bad, that was the xfce docs :D05:31
JackFrostWith regards to your request for help on the mailing list, I don't imagine you'll get the QA lead to pop up, he's been missing for a little while unfortunately.05:31
jphilipsno havent gotten access to the xubuntu wiki05:31
JackFrostOK.05:32
jphilipspinged him now on telegram05:32
jphilipsso with the QA lead gone, i'll have to rely on the rest of the team to guide me through this task05:40
jphilipshow have other QA testing sprints with contributors gone?05:41
JackFrostWell, for milestones an email is sent out, and people file test results on the tracker.05:56
JackFrostSo it turns out I'm an idiot, nice.06:00
JackFrostbluesabre: Nevermind, turns out we need to replace the user and press any key to continue.06:01
JackFrostFreaking....Sigh.06:01
JackFrost...Though I guess that's good news.06:01
jphilipsthe email is sent out the user and dev mailing list06:02
jphilipsout to* the06:02
JackFrostjphilips: And some people like guiverc pitch in on those milestones, since they're general Ubuntu testing milestones.06:03
jphilipsso the alphas and the betas06:04
JackFrostRCs and such.06:04
albinardInstalled the 0305 ISO of Xubuntu Core 20.04 on HP p7-1010, AMD64, BIOS, 6GB RAM.  Smooth, successful installation, added some software, currently running well.20:06
jphilipsalbinard: sounds great. are you reporting it on the iso test page?20:12
albinardNo option for reporting on the Unit193 ISO version directly.  I didn't use the minimal ISO plus.20:13
JackFrostjphilips: FWIW, Xubuntu Core is considered a community effort only, there's no support on the tracker for reporting tests or anything really.  Emery has been great the past few releases and tests all the builds, letting me know if something is amiss.  He usually sends email but sometimes pops up on IRC for a minute.21:32
jphilipsgot it21:32
jphilipslook forward to getting access to the 18.04 core torrent21:33
JackFrostAh, so you *do* want that.21:34
jphilipsif it was listed on the download page, i would have grabbed it and presume most people would prefer to download the LTS of core21:35
JackFrostFound the 18.10 link...21:37
JackFrostLooks like I'd have to re-generate that, I didn't link the magnet in here or -ot it seems.21:40
JackFrostKeeping the LTS releases would indicate one re-generates them on the point release, due to specific reasons I don't do this.  So I just stick with normal releases.21:43
jphilipsknome: think it would be good to have two columns for the download links on the download page. 1 for the lts and 1 for the non-lts.22:04
jphilipswould be good to add magnet links alongside the torrent files22:05
JackFrostjphilips: OK, so getting back to your remarks about the Xubuntu Core intro.  That was taken from an email a long time ago, and obviously I haven't touched it since.  Looks like I should just drop those two statements and be done with it.22:16
jphilipsJackFrost: drop or modify22:17
jphilipswould it be acceptable to link to it from the download page, so more would be aware of it?22:18
JackFrostListing size there doesn't really add benefit, and as you noted it won't fit on a CD.22:18
JackFrostFor what it's worth, the release announcement tends to link it.22:18
jphilipsso i guess the assumption will be that it will continue to increase and increase22:18
jphilipswould presume most dont read the release announcement. they come to the website, go to the download page and look for links.22:19
JackFrost19.10 was 773M, 20.04 so far is 819M. :/22:19
JackFrostAnd yeah, I realize not everyone reads those.  I'm perhaps a bit biased, so shouldn't comment whether to link from the official downloads page or not.  In the past we haven't stressed it since it's not "official"22:21
