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