| sakrecoer[b] | just did the move to 20.10. Love the new installer! :) | 09:01 |
|---|---|---|
| sakrecoer[b] | very nice layout too! | 09:03 |
| sakrecoer[b] | regret it got smashed by my backup lol | 09:03 |
| sakrecoer[b] | oddly the favorites in the application menu are all gone after logging out and back.. any idea how i can get those back? | 09:03 |
| sakrecoer[b] | ah, that was just a right click apparently | 09:05 |
| sakrecoer[b] | btw, i used deja-dup for backup and it really works like a charm. was an experiment (had a traditional backup too) because i didn't know how KDE would would react to i. but turned out great | 09:06 |
| sakrecoer[b] | oh! and where do i get flowBuilder binary for this amazing slowmo thing? | 09:24 |
| sakrecoer[b] | hmm... baloo keeps crashing... it did before i restored my backup | 10:04 |
| sakrecoer[b] | weird... favorites aren't saved | 11:16 |
| sakrecoer[b] | ah, that's probably because the panel crashed before i logged out | 11:18 |
| sakrecoer[b] | been happening a lot lately. also on my kubuntu install. been sending repports about it though. fingers crossed | 11:18 |
| sakrecoer[b] | no that's not it. Favorites aren't staying after a loggout | 11:36 |
| sakrecoer[b] | well... seems like it's not a very good idea to simply copy the user home-folder from a kubuntu + ubunstudio packages to ubuntu 20.10... Font management is different | 12:14 |
| sakrecoer[b] | the plasma settings get really weird | 12:14 |
| sakrecoer[b] | dolphin is nice, but also funny... got an interesting message: i'm low on space and wanted to put something in the trash | 12:16 |
| sakrecoer[b] | no option to delete without passing trash | 12:17 |
| sakrecoer[b] | rm did the trick of course. | 12:17 |
| sakrecoer[b] | (btw, the same problems appear when i copy the non-deja-dup backup instead) | 12:19 |
| sakrecoer[b] | s/kubuntu + ubunstudio packages to ubuntu 20.10/kubuntu + ubunstudio packages to ubuntustudio 20.10 | 12:20 |
| sakrecoer[b] | uff.. reseting it made it worse: now it doesn't show up when i hit the window key | 12:37 |
| sakrecoer[b] | that was easy to fix though... but no idea how to get the favorites or history to stay. permissions seems right, but maybe i'm looking in the wrong place | 12:38 |
| sakrecoer[b] | baloorunner is a real headache... and apparently it has not address to report the bug... | 13:03 |
| sakrecoer[b] | well.. i give up: reinstalling but this time i'll simply handpick what i want from the old install... | 13:42 |
| sakrecoer[b] | took me a while but i ma happy now \o/ all Set up and looking good in cyberspace 😎 | 16:08 |
| Eickmeyer | sakrecoer[b]: There's a reason why we're suggesting a clean install. :) | 16:43 |
| sakrecoer[b] | well... i did a clean isntall | 16:54 |
| sakrecoer[b] | then i moved my homefolder. | 16:55 |
| sakrecoer[b] | but that's a huge no no... | 16:55 |
| sakrecoer[b] | dumping a backed up ~/.config in a clean install was a recipe for disaster | 16:56 |
| sakrecoer[b] | Eickmeyer you should probably remove this from the release notes: "Only supported method is via clean install by backing up your **/home directory** and restoring it on a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 20.10" | 17:16 |
| sakrecoer[b] | * Eickmeyer you should probably remove this from the release notes: "Only supported method is via clean install by backing up your **/home directory and restoring it** on a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 20.10" | 17:16 |
| Eickmeyer | sakrecoer[b]: Yeah, that's 100% in the release notes. | 17:16 |
| sakrecoer[b] | ehm.. yes it is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GroovyGorilla/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuStudio | 17:17 |
| Eickmeyer | Remove it though? It's the only way to do a clean install while keeping stuff. | 17:18 |
| sakrecoer[b] | or... what do you mean? no one can edit the release notes wiki? | 17:18 |
| Eickmeyer | I can edit, but I'm not removing that since it's the only way to upgrade. The .config directory though might not work 1:1. | 17:18 |
| Eickmeyer | I might add the bit about the .config directory to it though. | 17:19 |
| sakrecoer[b] | well, yes... i would at least rephrase it entirely. | 17:19 |
| sakrecoer[b] | "back up your documents and restore them manually. (moving configuration files may break thinga)" | 17:19 |
| * Eickmeyer hates editing the wiki... moin is a PITA | 17:20 | |
| sakrecoer[b] | will see if i have access | 17:21 |
| Eickmeyer | I'm already on my way to login. | 17:21 |
| Eickmeyer | Just takes forever because the Ubuntu wiki is a potato. | 17:21 |
| sakrecoer[b] | the way it is now, it sounds like dumoing the home folder is fine (i certainly read it litteraly like that lol) | 17:21 |
| Eickmeyer | Yeah. the .config folder *should* have worked, but you discovered otherwise. | 17:22 |
| sakrecoer[b] | maybe i was unlucky... but yeah, lots plasma stuff was failing after i did... | 17:26 |
| sakrecoer[b] | anyways, please don't read any bitter tone in my chats :) in fact i'm just greatful | 17:26 |
| Eickmeyer | Yeah, it's all good. :) | 17:27 |
| Eickmeyer | The wiki just 502'd. >_< | 17:27 |
| sakrecoer[b] | mindblowing that it still be that bad... | 17:29 |
| sakrecoer[b] | clean docs was part of the popularity of ubuntu... and most likely oart of why arch linux is gaining traction: their wiki is super good | 17:30 |
| rgh | Arch wiki : for when Ubuntu don't work | 17:31 |
| sakrecoer[b] | <rgh "Arch wiki : for when Ubuntu don'"> so like, 90% of the time :D | 17:32 |
| rgh | Actually, it works rather good | 17:32 |
| sakrecoer[b] | yeah, i'm being unfair... but been a while since the ubuntu wiki poped up in my duckduckgo results | 17:33 |
| rgh | You can't install or run arch without consulting the Arch wiki. Ubuntu (and most other distros tbh) is a no brainer to install / setup (imho) | 17:34 |
| rgh | Also, I got a new toy for you folks to play with. | 17:35 |
| sakrecoer[b] | that's a thing to say the 3rd time your intsalling ubuntu, but yeah. i take it my debian knowledge is pretty useless on arch | 17:35 |
| rgh | Will post link later | 17:35 |
| Eickmeyer | rgh: I was referring to just the login process. | 17:37 |
| Eickmeyer | Most of the wiki is transitioning to discourse. | 17:37 |
| Eickmeyer | sakrecoer[b]: How does this look? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GroovyGorilla/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuStudio#Upgrading_to_Ubuntu_Studio_20.10 | 17:38 |
| sakrecoer[b] | <Eickmeyer "Most of the wiki is transitionin"> interesting choice of platform... i thought discourse was a forum | 17:38 |
| Eickmeyer | sakrecoer[b]: It's both. | 17:38 |
| Eickmeyer | I think future release notes might just go on the ubuntustudio.org website as a page. | 17:39 |
| sakrecoer[b] | took me a while to see what you did tbh... I would put the warning in bold and the procedure in regular.. But other than it still looks like you rock Eickmeyer | 17:40 |
| Eickmeyer | To be fair, the entire section is a warning. :) | 17:40 |
| sakrecoer[b] | true haha! | 17:41 |
| rgh | I'm making a sampler plugin | 19:27 |
| rgh | https://github.com/clearly-broken-software/drops/actions/runs/396793580 | 19:27 |
| sakrecoer[b] | awesome rgh ! | 23:52 |
