[06:44] [telegram] i wonder if there's "too many partitions" in the side by sdie (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) @leokolb do you think you and guiverc could put your heads together and see if https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1864787 is still relevant any longer?) [06:45] [telegram] i.e. a DOS partition table and too many partitions that're primary [06:45] [telegram] a bunch of those comments are regarding 'side by side' installs so [06:45] [telegram] (i.e. dualboot) [06:46] wxl, the only way to test 1864787 is for me to re-test on the one box I experienced it with.. (it's not a test box, so will take longer to use it).. @teward001 my box is MBR, but within limits as for permissions (some partitions are within extended partition..) [06:50] [telegram] guiverc: well i'm only making the note in the off chance that it tries to resize the extended and fails [06:50] [telegram] which will fail because you have to resize the logical partitions in the extended [06:51] [telegram] we have no idea the chaos Cala could be doing xD [06:54] the issue can be worked around; I did it, the two other affects-me too appear to as well... i could try and re-create it on differnt box (I'm not installing windows, but am willing to create NTFS partition to represent that).. I've tried that before but got blocked by another bug that I don't think is an issue anymore [07:06] -lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [Lubuntu CI] focal_stable_lxqt-session just failed after succeeding: https://ci.lubuntu.me/job/focal_stable_lxqt-session/567/ [07:10] [telegram] MBR disk most 4 Primary partitions or 3 Primary plus one extened - (I think) (re @teward001: i wonder if there's "too many partitions" in the side by sdie) [07:12] [telegram] Have done numerous dual and triple boots - never seen that bug [07:20] Yes, extended partitions are counted as a primary partition, but logical aren't because the 'sit' on top of the extended. [07:42] the philosophy cala has about manual partition is that you do so at your own risk [07:43] i.e. it won't keep you from trying to do something impossible [07:43] which i guess, to some degree, is fair [07:44] so any time you do it, you have to know the limitations of the filesystems and partition table types you're dealing with [07:45] If something is technically impossible, why isn't there some sanity check preventing it? [07:45] Somewhere. Lurking. [07:45] probably because they are too many impossible things to have to deal with [07:45] [telegram] triple boot problems are not very common for "normal" users - [07:45] i mean, you can tell the partition backend to do something impossible [07:45] I find it hard to believe that not even the underlying filesystem interfaces don't ever yeet an error at the user. [07:46] in much the same way, the shell doesn't restrict you from calling a command that doesn't exist [07:46] or wiping the operating system that you're using to perform the deletion X''''D [07:46] It still tells you it doesn't exist though. [07:46] XD [07:46] with impunity i might add! (-f) [07:49] * I find it hard to believe that not even the underlying filesystem interfaces doesn't ever yeet an error at the user. [07:49] i'm sure they do [07:49] but the error may not be very instructive [07:49] "can't do that" [07:50] let's say you run a command and get a command not found error. is that because the binary doesn't exist? or a PATH issue? the shell doesn't tell you [07:55] [telegram] Must admit good to not have "Please contact your system admin.." [07:55] A shell is much more versatile though. Also, it has much more of a learning curve. That argument does have a fallacy though, if you're manually partitioning drives, you probably know what you're doing. Probably. [07:56] It's 2 AM, I love you wxl but I know we can discuss this and many other things for hours. [07:56] yeah and that is indeed the cala philosophy [07:57] indeed [07:57] especially if coffee/maté is involved XD [08:12] -lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [Lubuntu CI] groovy_stable_lximage-qt just failed

sourceforge bugs. almost makes me wish we hadn't dropped it. almost. not really. https://github.com/lxde/libfm/commits/master [16:50] [telegram] lol [16:50] a long while ago i had planned on writing an article comparing and contrasting lxde and lxqt [16:50] i still might as i think some empirical data would be good to have [16:51] still, i just found this really nice history published upstream that includes some really relevant links https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/History [16:51] just an fyi to ya'll, especially if you have questions from folks about the difference [16:51] i think i might start working on a faq [16:52] [telegram] I feel like I saw someone ask the question recently but I don't remember where. [16:53] [telegram] I don't know that I would call what is happening in lxde "sustained". [16:53] this is certainly a dramatic change from what i've seen in the recent past [16:54] [telegram] True, I still think we are on a better trajectory. [17:00] [telegram] I show this also https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchmark-memory-usage-lxqt-desktop-environment-vs-xfce/ [17:00] yeah i remember that one [17:10] oh gee i hadn't seen this but gtk4 finally made it out the door. and lxde is still not gtk3 compatible. oh my. https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/ [17:15] Alright, time to remove GTK 2 [17:15] * tsimonq2 starts conspiring [17:15] i think they still support it [17:15] [telegram] *starts conspiring against @tsimonq2* [17:15] [telegram] GTK2 has been deprecated [17:16] [telegram] I'm pretty sure that was announced somewhere. [17:19] it's not listed https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/linux/ [17:21] [telegram] I read it here, which I know isn't official but... https://9to5linux.com/gtk-4-0-officially-released-after-more-than-4-years-of-development [17:21] [telegram] "the older GTK+ 2.x series has now reached end of life" [17:22] if that's true, then this needs correcting https://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=38309&hilit=gtk+4&start=10 [17:23] oh that's lifted right from the original announcement [17:23] they claim they will do one final release in the upcoming days [17:24] [telegram] Ah, hours are soon. [17:24] horray!! [17:24] XD [17:24] [telegram] \o/ [17:24] [telegram] maybe lxde was waiting for gtk4... [17:24] XD [17:25] [telegram] um, yeah XD [17:27] If they can't port to GTK 3, they absolutely can't port to GTK 4 ;) [17:27] well who knows [17:27] Also, what's the latest y'all? [17:28] um [17:28] I'm in one of those spots where I remember how to do everything but don't know where to jump in first [17:28] i guess the big deal is we need to get our merges resolved [17:28] we've got a whole new lxqt [17:28] [telegram] ^ [17:28] Oh yeah? Do we have something tracking the status yet?
