[16:13] <skycandy[m]> Hey Leute... Problem: Mein Chanonical Livepatch geht nichtmehr... Was kann Ich denn jetzt machen um Updates zu installieren??? Ich bin auf "Ubuntu Studio 20.10". Kann momentan garnicht updaten, und keine weiteren Apps ueber "Discover" mehr installieren...
[16:15] <Maik> skycandy[m]: Livepatch is for LTS releases only
[16:16] <skycandy[m]> <Maik "skycandy: Livepatch is for LTS r"> Yes, i know that now... what is with "LTS" exactly meant?
[16:16] <Maik> LTS = Long Term Support
[16:17] <Maik> Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years on the desktop, it's other flavors like Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu etc only 3 years.
[16:18] <skycandy[m]> <Maik "Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 ye"> Hmm... bad... I choosed the KDE Plasma on 20.10 at my Beginning with Ubuntu Studio, because was the latest version...
[16:18] <Maik> 20.04 is such a LTS release, 22.04 will be the next one. All other releases in between like 20.10 are only supported for 9 months
[16:19] <skycandy[m]> Is there an automatic way to put my changes on an new installation??? I worked much on installing... I like the 20.04 to have now, so i must reinstall...
[16:20] <skycandy[m]> When the 22.04 will be released?
[16:20] <Maik> as the numbering says April 2022
[16:20] <Maik> hens 22.04
[16:21] <Maik> hens/hence
[16:21] <skycandy[m]> Ohwee... so is the best way a new Installation with 20.04 at  the moment?
[16:21] <Maik> if you want 20.04  with Xfce you need to re install
[16:22] <rgh> skycandy: you can basically take any Ubuntu and use the studio installer to "studio-fy" it.
[16:23] <Maik> skycandy[m]: especially if you want to use Livepatch and want to have Long Term Support (3 years on Ubuntu Studio)
[16:23] <Maik> rgh: that's not what it's about
[16:24] <rgh> Sorry
[16:24] <Maik> oh wait...
[16:24] <skycandy[m]> <rgh "skycandy: you can basically take"> Hmm okay, I know this installing technique. Thanks!
[16:25] <Maik> rgh: you mean they could take Kubuntu 20.04 LTS and turn that into Ubuntu Studio?
[16:26] <rgh> Yes.
[16:26] <skycandy[m]> Because of the KDE Plasma?
[16:26] <Maik> right, that's an option too
[16:26] <Maik> sorry  rgh i forgot about that
[16:26] <rgh> I've used that on lubuntu and Ubuntu
[16:26] <skycandy[m]> <Maik "right, that's an option too"> So it's equal, you can use 'tasksel'...
[16:27] <rgh> Xubuntu 20.10 wouldn't install. Very odd.
[16:30] <skycandy[m]> So I like to test some virtual installation in Boxen to test the manually Upgrade to Ubuntu Studio...
[16:31] <Maik> skycandy[m]: https://ubuntustudio.org/ubuntu-studio-installer/
[16:33] <skycandy[m]> <Maik "skycandy: https://ubuntustudio.o"> Thankz :-)
[16:34] <Maik> you're welcome :)
[16:36] <Maik> thanks for the reminder rgh
[16:45]  * OvenWerks uses kubuntu 20.04 with studio on to via ubuntustudio-installer
[16:48] <OvenWerks> skycandy[m]: if you save your home directory (in particular the .* files/directories) That should have your settings
[20:28] <BoxBoy> hello all, i recently downloaded my google play music library using google takeout
[20:28] <BoxBoy> non of the files have id3 tags...annoying
[20:29] <BoxBoy> however Ubuntu seems to be able to identify metadata for all of the files...how is it doing that?
[20:29] <BoxBoy> all of the mp3s are in a single directory, so no structure
[20:55] <OvenWerks> BoxBoy: there are two kinds of ids in the meta data. Perhaps use kid3-qt and see if that shows tags
[20:55] <OvenWerks> (it shows both kinds
[20:55] <tomreyn> there are also online services to identify music based on music patterns.
[20:57] <OvenWerks> (or embedded serial numbers
[20:59] <tomreyn> i was thinking of https://acoustid.org/ and musicbrainz
[20:59] <OvenWerks> Yeah, not normally used for offline or downloaded material.
[21:00] <BoxBoy> there are also csv files that came with the mp3s
[21:00] <BoxBoy> the don't have the same file names as the mp3 files, but just the song title
[21:00] <BoxBoy> inside is a list of the metadata
[21:00] <BoxBoy> could ubuntu be scraping that?
[21:00] <BoxBoy> seems far fetched
[21:01] <OvenWerks> could be if it is standard or even semi standard
[21:01] <OvenWerks> BoxBoy: which application is showing meta data?
[21:01] <tomreyn> for now, the alternative tag format seems a lot more likely, though
[21:01] <BoxBoy> nautilus i guess
[21:01] <BoxBoy> the file browser
[21:02] <OvenWerks> in ubuntustudio? would be thunar or Dolphin
[21:03] <OvenWerks> though firefox may have nautilus as a depend
[21:04] <BoxBoy> heh, just had a 1 hour discussion with google support, too bad they don't know about this
[21:04] <BoxBoy> it's just regular ubuntu
[21:04] <BoxBoy> gorilla something or other
[21:05] <OvenWerks> groovy would be the same for all flavours
[21:05] <BoxBoy> so kid3-qt
[21:05] <BoxBoy> does see the tags, in fact there is tag1 and tag2
[21:05] <BoxBoy> tag1 is empty, tag2 has the same info ubuntu sees
[21:05] <BoxBoy> good old irc
[21:05] <OvenWerks> Makes sense
[21:06] <OvenWerks> tag 2 in general means tag version2
[21:06] <OvenWerks> it was made because tag version 1 did not have enough room for all the meta data people wanted
[21:07] <OvenWerks> Any media player should (In my opinion) read both
[21:08] <OvenWerks> In fact I would file a bug against any media player that did not.
[21:08] <BoxBoy> yeah tag2:id3v2.3.0
[21:09] <BoxBoy> mp3info did not detect it
[21:09] <BoxBoy> i imported everything to plex and plex didn't detect them either
[21:10] <BoxBoy> crazy that my searches for "alternatives to id3 tags" made no mention of id3 v2
[21:10] <BoxBoy> heh
[21:12] <BoxBoy> now to figure out a way to copy over in one simple bash script
[21:41] <BoxBoy> id3 -a %t -t %a "*.mp3"
[21:59] <BoxBoy> now i feel stupid, plex does see the tags but doesn't sort into albums because of the folder structure
