[09:01] <sakrecoer[b]> just did the move to 20.10. Love the new installer! :)
[09:03] <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?
[09:05] <sakrecoer[b]> ah, that was just a right click apparently
[09:06] <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
[09:24] <sakrecoer[b]> oh! and where do i get flowBuilder binary for this amazing slowmo thing?
[10:04] <sakrecoer[b]> hmm... baloo keeps crashing... it did before i restored my backup
[11:16] <sakrecoer[b]> weird... favorites aren't saved
[11:18] <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
[11:36] <sakrecoer[b]> no that's not it. Favorites aren't staying after a loggout
[12:14] <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
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <sakrecoer[b]> no option to delete without passing trash
[12:17] <sakrecoer[b]> rm did the trick of course.
[12:19] <sakrecoer[b]> (btw, the same problems appear when i copy the non-deja-dup backup instead)
[12:20] <sakrecoer[b]> s/kubuntu + ubunstudio packages to ubuntu 20.10/kubuntu + ubunstudio packages to ubuntustudio 20.10
[12:37] <sakrecoer[b]> uff.. reseting it made it worse: now it doesn't show up when i hit the window key
[12:38] <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
[13:03] <sakrecoer[b]> baloorunner is a real headache... and apparently it has not address to report the bug...
[13:42] <sakrecoer[b]> well.. i give up: reinstalling but this time i'll simply handpick what i want from the old install...
[16:08] <sakrecoer[b]> took me a while but i ma happy now \o/ all Set up and looking good in cyberspace 😎
[16:43] <Eickmeyer> sakrecoer[b]: There's a reason why we're suggesting a clean install. :)
[16:54] <sakrecoer[b]> well... i did a clean isntall
[16:55] <sakrecoer[b]> then i moved my homefolder.
[16:55] <sakrecoer[b]> but that's a huge no no...
[16:56] <sakrecoer[b]> dumping a backed up ~/.config in a clean install was a recipe for disaster
[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] <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.
[17:17] <sakrecoer[b]> ehm.. yes it is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GroovyGorilla/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuStudio
[17:18] <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.
[17:19] <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)"
[17:20]  * Eickmeyer hates editing the wiki... moin is a PITA
[17:21] <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)
[17:22] <Eickmeyer> Yeah. the .config folder *should* have worked, but you discovered otherwise.
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <Eickmeyer> Yeah, it's all good. :)
[17:27] <Eickmeyer> The wiki just 502'd. >_<
[17:29] <sakrecoer[b]> mindblowing that it still be that bad...
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <rgh> Arch wiki : for when Ubuntu don't work
[17:32] <sakrecoer[b]> <rgh "Arch wiki : for when Ubuntu don'"> so like, 90% of the time :D
[17:32] <rgh> Actually, it works rather good
[17:33] <sakrecoer[b]> yeah, i'm being unfair... but been a while since the ubuntu wiki poped up in my duckduckgo results
[17:34] <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)
[17:35] <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
[17:37] <Eickmeyer> rgh: I was referring to just the login process.
[17:37] <Eickmeyer> Most of the wiki is transitioning to discourse.
[17:38] <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.
[17:39] <Eickmeyer> I think future release notes might just go on the ubuntustudio.org website as a page.
[17:40] <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. :)
[17:41] <sakrecoer[b]> true haha!
[19:27] <rgh> I'm making a sampler plugin
[19:27] <rgh> https://github.com/clearly-broken-software/drops/actions/runs/396793580
[23:52] <sakrecoer[b]> awesome rgh !
