 welcome @EdmondLogan
 welcome Jerry L
[03:37] <ubuntutestingbot> [telegram] <Jerry L> Thanks!  I've been using Kubuntu since 09.04.  I've been running 20..04 since early January.
 presume all has been going well if you are running it as your daily driver
[03:39] <ubuntutestingbot> [telegram] <Jerry L> Running perfectly!  It's setting on top of BTRFS, which is also faultless!
 so didnt want to try the experimental zfs
[03:40] <valorie> good to hear, @Jerry L
[03:40] <ubuntutestingbot> [telegram] <Jerry L> I am going to download the daily image and run it on a USB stick
[03:41] <valorie> I've been onboard since perhaps 10.04
[03:41] <valorie> not yet on 20.04 but I will probably upgrade my travel computer soon
 great. please do try out the Kubuntu testcases and report your findings.
[03:41] <ubuntutestingbot> [telegram] <Jerry L> Sorry, misread it.  I putz around with fuse-zfs and decided it was too complidoged for a desktop, and required too much memory to take advantage of its strong points.
 Hi! Is there a way to know about the list of new "Kubuntu 20.04" features considering that I haven't used the previous versions?
[06:35] <valorie> ubuntutestingbot: check out the latest KDE Plasma
[06:36] <valorie> we have the latest of most KDE software, but Plasma is front and center
 We will also have some beta release notes by the time it is out (re @Soul_Predator: Hi! Is there a way to know about the list of new "Kubuntu 20.04" features considering that I haven't used the previous versions?)
 Elisa music player is a good one to test :)
 Welcome :) (re @Jerry L: Thanks!  I've been using Kubuntu since 09.04.  I've been running 20..04 since early January.)
 cool (re @RikMills: We will also have some beta release notes by the time it is out)
 welcome @kernelx64 and @Michael_Martins

 I have to be honest Im using debian gnome (re @philipz: which ubuntu flavor are you guys using?)
 well thanks for stopping by and helping out
 which ubuntu flavor will you be testing?
 I have Fedora to. To be honest I am in quarentine mode and I live with me dog and to change a litle my routine..still to those who know'me a litle to I don't type a lot.. 😄 https://sites.google.com/view/kernelx64
 If I can Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu. Im currently really busy at work. (I am the IT of  hospital) (re @philipz: which ubuntu flavor will you be testing?)
 welcome Buck@n&&r
 whenever you do the testing, please do report your results on the test tracker @kernelx64 @Reinaldo_Espinosa
 Sure (re @philipz: whenever you do the testing, please do report your results on the test tracker @kernelx64 @Reinaldo_Espinosa)
 welcome Iale
 😊 (re @philipz: welcome Buck@n&&r)
 👍
[16:49] <javier35> Hello everyone. I just read the article about testing UbuntuStudio next release. I went to the testing tracker... Is it the "Focal Daily" Milestone?
 yes Focal
[16:52] <javier35> Then I see "Ubuntu Studio DVD amd64", "Upgrade Ubuntu Studio amd64" and "Upgrade Ubuntu Studio i386". Which one for a new install on my test LapTop?
 the first one
[16:56] <javier35> Final question. I have an old laptop with 4 GB Ram and 2 cores @ 2.0 GHz aprox from around 2010-2011. Is it ok? I will be using music production tools only like Ardour and LV2 plugins.
 yes it should be fine
 @Eickmeyer
 are javier35's specs fine?
 I caught the flu, I do not have internet at home, I hope to recover to be able to test xubuntu 20.04 (re @philipz: yes it should be fine)
 @Reinaldo_Espinosa get better soon and stay safe
 I will. (re @philipz: @Reinaldo_Espinosa get better soon and stay safe)
 thanks
 javier35: the ubuntu studio's website recommends 4gb ram and 10gb of space, so you should be fine
[17:04] <Eickmeyer> javier35 left about 5 minutes ago.
 okay thanks
[17:05] <lotuspsychje> telegram doesnt show joins/parts?
 no it doesnt. irc doesnt see join and parts from telegram
[17:06] <Eickmeyer> @philipz Also, 2 cores is fairly underspecced for Ardour. While the OS will run, people need to consult individual applications for their intended use case.
 thanks for the info.
[17:12] <wxl> unrelated but if you have any suggestions (or just wnat to retoot) that would be appreciated https://mastodon.art/@ubuntustudio
[17:13] <Eickmeyer> wxl: Good idea, I'll talk to our mastodon person (our art lead) about that.
[17:14] <wxl> oh jeez wrong link anyways XD
[17:14] <wxl> but glad i could help XD
[17:14] <wxl> https://kitty.town/@wxl/103891695773679166
 @azbulutlu Can you see the history just above?
 the group is set to be able to see history
 Perfect. Thanks, @philipz
 She'll see it eventually.
[17:17] <Eickmeyer> wxl: I can chime-in from my experience. I have a Behringer Uphoria UMC404HD paired with Ardour and a Behringer X-Touch Mini. The combination gives you a virtual mixer of sorts that can use just about any audio plugin imaginable. I've used it for vocal effects in live audio.
[17:17] <Eickmeyer> wxl: Most USB mixers only output 2-channel stereo.
[17:18] <wxl> Eickmeyer: i know! i feel like that mix of features in that zoom livetrak is a no-brainer. but they jam so much stuff in there that it just ends up being kind of expensive for just that
[17:19] <wxl> Eickmeyer: although i really like the fact that it (a) runs on batteries and (b) has a built in recorder
[17:19] <Eickmeyer> wxl: I'll have to screenshare with you sometime to show you what I mean.
[17:20] <wxl> Eickmeyer: that x-touch looks like the kind of thing i've wanted for a long time
[17:20] <Eickmeyer> The entire setup, minus a laptop, is only about $200 ($150 for the interface, $50 for the midi controller)
[17:20] <Eickmeyer> I'd love a full-size x-touch, but the x-touch mini is very budget friendly.
[17:20] <wxl> that said i'm not the world's biggest behringer fan but hey
[17:21] <Eickmeyer> The only caviat is that the configuration software only runs on Windows.
[17:21] <Eickmeyer> wxl: The interface uses Midas preams, so don't let the Behringer name fool you.
[17:21] <Eickmeyer> *preamps
[17:21] <wxl> oh nice
 @Eickmeyer yes...
 *tries to understand what this is*
 @azbulutlu This is the new testing collaboration room for all the flavors.
 awesome!!!
 @philipz is leading this charge.
 sorry I was out shopping for family.
 let me read this monster backlog so that I am not aimlessly chatting
 wxl anything you want me to retoot dm me on eylul or ubuntustudio. I am not always on top of the tags but we have emails that comes to me and @Eickmeyer every time someone dms or mentions us
 @azbulutlu You didn't miss much. :)
 good. let me know.
[17:41] <wxl> oooh i get the follows :)
 xD
[17:44] <wxl> soon i might have some more audio stuff to show off, too. i got this cute mini modular synth (bastl kastle) i've been playing with
 looking forward to it.
[17:45] <wxl> of course now i have to completely re-do everything with this fancy new laptop that's gone the way of apple and gotten rid of the darn mic in
[17:46] <wxl> i might just end up getting out the old machine but i think it's still on like 14.10 or something XD
 :)
 Hey guys, I've been trying to install Kubuntu 18.04/20.04 on an encrypted btrfs partition, but I can't get the installer to do it. In Debian/Mint/Manjaro it's really easy to create such partitioning. Am I missing something? Should I report it as a bug in the installer?
[19:12] -queuebot:#ubuntu-quality- Builds: Ubuntu Budgie Desktop amd64 [Focal Beta] (20200327.1) has been added
[19:45] <ubuntutestingbot> [telegram] <Jerry L> I installed the 3/27/20 Kubuntu 20.04 image (sum checked OK) on a 32GB USB stick with the intention of installing Kubuntu 20.04   with ZFS as the <ROOT_FS>  on another 64GB USB stick.  My proble was the the ZFS option (experimental or otherwise) was missing from the manual disk install panel.   😳
[19:48] <ubuntutestingbot> [telegram] <Jerry L> Alexandre   Have you checked this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption
[19:55] <valorie> @Jerry L we were unwilling to add that option for the LTS
[19:56] <valorie> perhaps next LTS it will be well-tested enough
[19:56] <valorie> this chan is about testing however, not user support
 Thanks for pointing that out Jerry L. I didn't know about that. But what I'm trying to achieve is a much more basic root only encrypted partition.
 The installer already does that, but with logical volumes only. I was able to install "kubuntu-desktop" on an encrypted btrfs, using an ubuntu mini ISO. The TUI makes it a breeze. But it's really not ideal having to download everything in every new install.
[20:10] <valorie> why not just upgrade?
[20:10] <valorie> I've been upgrading for years with no issues
 Wouldn't it be more beneficial to the user base to have it properly implemented in the installer?
 Please file a bug requesting it, if there is not already one. (re @alexandre_0: Wouldn't it be more beneficial to the user base to have it properly implemented in the installer?)
 I was about to, but decided to check with you guys if it was ok first. I'll do it right now.
 Hmmm does Testdrive still function correctly ?
 Just pulled Kubuntu into the cache, hit launch and now it says cache's are empty
[20:38] <valorie> what is testdrive?
 It lets you Test the Nightly Builds
 It's a small Python App that holds ISO's in cache, and lets you zsync changes on a dilay basis
 So you don't have to download the whole ISO after each build
[20:43] <valorie> hmmm, ok
[20:43] <valorie> zsync does that....
 I believe so. It's been a few years since I used Testdrive.
[20:44] <valorie> I've not heard of it
[20:44] <valorie> always just used zsync
 I've just restarted it, and I'm downloading the Kubuntu ISO into the cache to try it again.
 fingers crossed 😃
 Test drive was mentioned in the xubuntu announcement
 Hopefully, It's gonna work out this time. Jolly handy tool
[21:13] -queuebot:#ubuntu-quality- Builds: Ubuntu Studio DVD amd64 [Focal Beta] (20200327) has been added
 Hmmm... no joy. I think Testdrive is broken, Launch fails, and Sync causes it to crash..
[21:19] <valorie> :(
 Looks like it's not had any maintenance since 2016.. according to LP
[21:25] <Eickmeyer> @Sick_Rimmit: I wrote a set of bash scripts that can do all that.
 Nice, are there available from somewhere ?
 https://github.com/eeickmeyer/UbuntuDailySync
 Actually, it just keeps the isos sync'd.
 Excellent 👁 looking now
 Ah ha these look cool, thanks @Eickmeyer
 No prob, @Sick_Rimmit . The individual scripts for each flavor can be run independently of the master script, so it's fairly versatille.
