| kgiii | I just bought a new laptop for testing the upcoming releases. It was such a good price that I figured I could spend that to give me some new hardware to test Lubuntu on. https://www.newegg.com/p/1TS-0016-01ZM4?Item=9SIA7ABDFR1475 So, that'll go straight into the 'testing' phase for making sure Lubuntu likes modern hardware. (I do not need an extra laptop.) | 00:43 |

| guiverc | kgiii, wow :) | 02:07 |
| kgiii | I have a pretty great 'mobile workstation' but it's a few years old now. So, this will be a more modern CPU and hardware to test on. The reality is that the price was just so good that I couldn't resist. It'll make a great Lubuntu test bed. | 02:08 |
| guiverc | kgiii, if you do any installs; do you understand how we use https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/release-team/testing-checklist/ | 02:11 |
| guiverc | you don't have to; you're very thoroughly testing the programs which takes a load more time than just simple installs :) | 02:12 |
| kgiii | I plan only on live tests, but I do know how the install tests go. I like the live testing. I try to throw an hour at it every day, sometimes more. I like the live testing roll, if that makes sense? | 02:13 |
| kgiii | Or 'mostly doing live tests' is more accurate. | 02:13 |
| guiverc | I can fully appreciate that, I can also live-test on hardware i'm not willing to install to, allowing more hardware to be used for testing... | 02:14 |
| kgiii | And s/roll/role/g | 02:14 |
| kgiii | I open everything up, test it, make sure it's doing what it should, etc... I enjoy that role. I'm more than happy to install if needed, but I like the live testing. It takes longer, but it's enjoyable. | 02:15 |
| guiverc | @Leokolb mostly has us covered for installs.. I'm helping there (installs) too.... Yeah I like live testing more myself.. | 02:15 |
| kgiii | If it's needed, I can step up and do installation tests. Heck. I can even do them on bare metal and not virtual machines. So, if that is a needed service then just let me know and I'll step up to do more. | 02:17 |
| guiverc | bare metal wins in my experience.. it's different hardware that can have issues with calamares. Even if bug isn't fixed; us hitting it allows us to find and provides a workaround that we can point to in support... | 02:21 |
| kgiii | I only really have time for one of 'em per day. I can do the live test (which takes an hour or so to do it pretty thoroughly) or I can do an installation. Sometimes I could do both. I occasionally do a VM install after a VM live test, just to check the installer. | 02:24 |
| guiverc | Personally I believe the live tests are more valuable to Lubuntu; given esp. Leo, but also I do installs.. the rare odd one (particularly on hardware) though is great/beneficial as you'll have different hardware | 02:28 |
| kgiii | As the release is due soon, I can toss a few extra hours at testing. So, I'll check and see about doing some installs on bare metal. I have backups I can always restore, so it's just a matter of finding time. | 02:33 |

| guiverc | kgiii, i was thinking about boxes you weren't actually using (what I do full disk installs onto). if you don't have that, I wouldn't worry | 03:17 |
| -lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [Lubuntu CI] jobgenerator FAILURE: https://ci.lubuntu.me/job/jobgenerator/926/ | 05:20 | |
| Quasart | Hello ! I'm not sure to be in the right place, I would like to propose a Lubuntu theme improvement | 08:47 |
| Quasart | It's about Worldclock calendar : Week numbers in first column look like day numbers, as you can there : https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3080387/112873765-5dff4e00-90c2-11eb-9aa3-c45bb4b7108d.png | 08:50 |
| Quasart | it's very misleading when I'm quickly looking for first day of week. | 08:51 |
| kc2bez[m] | right click on the clock -> configure world clock settings -> general tab, uncheck show week numbers. | 08:53 |
| tsimonq2 | Submit it upstream with LXQt, that's in their ballpark. Thanks for the suggestion though! | 08:53 |
| tsimonq2 | Ohhh | 08:53 |
| tsimonq2 | Wiser than I | 08:53 |
| kc2bez[m] | I don't know about that 😂 | 08:53 |
| Quasart | I could make it clear by changed background-color slightly in /usr/share/lxqt/themes/Lubuntu Arc/lxqt-panel.qss | 08:54 |
| Quasart | CalendarWidget QTableView { | 08:54 |
| Quasart | Â Â Â background-color: rgb(56, 60, 74); | 08:54 |
| Quasart | I've contacted them already, they are changing their themes | 08:55 |
| Quasart | I'm talking about Lubuntu Arc theme | 08:55 |
| Quasart | it's un lubuntu-artwork package | 08:55 |
| Quasart | kc2bez[m] thank you for the tip, I prefer to keep the week numbers visible though | 09:00 |
| kc2bez[m] | I understand now. That change makes sense at the first look. We should probably have bug filed against lubuntu-artwork and marked as wishlist. | 09:03 |
| kc2bez | Sorry, I'm not too prepared for a meeting. | 21:17 |
| kc2bez | Working on a beta announcement right now. | 21:18 |
| kgiii | You need a Vice kc2bez to fill in for you when you're busy. Or a secretary to take care of the mundane tasks. If I spot a doppelganger, I'll let you know. | 21:25 |
| kc2bez | That sounds nice, I'd take a clone. | 21:25 |
| kc2bez | For the folks that have access to notes here is what I have https://notes.lubuntu.me/CH5RnBEbTGSc6MBoKAgSSA | 21:26 |
| kc2bez | I'll get that posted to https://lubuntu.me/blog soon. | 21:27 |
| kc2bez | I trust that testing is going well for folks. | 21:28 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> Yes the testing is going very well inddeed | 21:29 |
| kgiii | Going just fine. As we are nearing release, I try to give it a full hour of testing every day. Well, there's no daily release today - yet. | 21:30 |
| kc2bez | I think they just turned them back on so we may not get a new one until tomorrow. | 21:30 |
| kgiii | I really, really wish it had something like push notifications. I'd enable push notifications just for that - and I generally abhor all such notifications. | 21:31 |
| kc2bez | from -release [16:39:48] <sil2100> Ok, re-enabling daily builds and removing freeze block | 21:32 |
| kgiii | Hmm... Even if it just pinged select usernames in chat, that'd work. | 21:35 |
| kc2bez | Yeah, we need to ring the dinner bell for the testers XD | 21:37 |
| guiverc | beta release (notes) looks good kc2bez | 21:40 |
| kc2bez | Thanks guiverc | 21:40 |
| kc2bez | I think we need to switch our actual release notes to Discourse to keep up with the Joneses (sorry if my humor is lost there). | 21:41 |
| kc2bez | Seriously though it might be the better way to go. Then we can just have a brief announcement like this beta one on the blog pointing to Discourse. | 21:42 |
| kc2bez | It sounds like a bunch of hoops but I think it could allow for better visibility before release. | 21:44 |
| guiverc | yeah reviewers/bloggers/youtubers do like something to read for beta etc... I like the official blog, but we gotta suit the 'younger' crowd | 21:46 |
| kgiii | When it does get published, I'll share it elsewhere and see if it drums up any interest. | 21:46 |
| kc2bez | https://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-21-04-hirsute-hippo-beta-testing/ | 21:50 |
| guiverc | :) thanks Dan / kc2bez | 21:55 |
| kc2bez | Sorry for my recent absence. | 21:55 |
| guiverc | no need to apologize... | 21:56 |
| kgiii | Are we gonna have a meeting, or does this count? | 21:57 |
| guiverc | i got nothing to say ; am half asleep | 21:57 |
| kc2bez | This works for me. | 21:57 |
| kc2bez | If you have anything to add let me know. | 21:58 |
| guiverc | i really appreciate your testing, support work etc kgiii, always appreciative of kc2bez's work, care & management... | 22:00 |
| guiverc | @Leokolb is doing heaps of installs & majority of that testing | 22:00 |
| kc2bez | Our entire team is what makes it happen, I thank you all. | 22:01 |
| kgiii | https://www.linux.org/threads/the-21-04-releases-ubuntu-and-official-flavors-will-soon-be-upon-us-and-its-testing-week.33845/ | 22:01 |
| kgiii | I tend to just do the live testing. I probably shouldn't say 'just' as it's a pretty long test that I do every day. But, I like the live testing. It's fun to go through all the apps and check things out. | 22:02 |
| kgiii | I'll sticky the above link for a day or two. We'll see if anyone decides they want to throw us a few extra hours. | 22:03 |
| guiverc | thanks kgiii , it looks good | 22:04 |
| kgiii | Thanks. I have no idea what kind of interest it will drum up, but we'll see. | 22:04 |

| kc2bez | https://mastodon.technology/@lubuntu/105992349914021351 | 22:10 |
| kgiii | Man, you need some sort of automated way to post once and have it propagate to all those other sites. | 22:11 |
| kc2bez | Twitter and Mastodon do that. | 22:11 |
| kc2bez | Tweets need to be sort of short. | 22:12 |
| kgiii | Oh, good. WordPress will do a ton of social media sites if you install a few plugins. | 22:12 |
| kgiii | I thought Twitter allowed long tweets now? (I don't actually have a Twitter account.) | 22:13 |
| kc2bez | They are longer but nothing like Mastodon. | 22:13 |
| kgiii | Ah... I don't have a Facebook account or anything like that. I just don't feel like investing the time in those things. | 22:14 |
| kc2bez | I only have one more to do, the Telegram announcement. | 22:14 |
| kc2bez | I think we have Facebook but I don't really Facebook it. I have limits XD | 22:15 |
