goddardwhy does ubuntu ask me if i want to update but then has updates after i already "updated" in the installer?13:10
goddardalso the welcome window shouldn't launch the app store as a sub-process13:11
goddardif i close the welcome it closes the app store13:11
goddardalso the errors in the app store should be more friendly and snap operations should have a queue system13:12
goddardsuper unfriendly errors make it seem like it is broken rather then just doing what it should be doing13:12
goddardif the user wants to "enable debugging" or something then show the extra information13:13
goddardbut i just installed ubuntu and now i have a 200 something packages to update13:13
goddardwhat was the point of the updates checkbox again?13:13
lotuspsychjegoddard: you are part of the ubuntu community, file some wishlist bugs13:14
goddardubuntu is a little too old to be having these kind of problems13:14
goddardfile bugs that the devs will ignore no thanks13:15
ducassegoddard: i am not sure as i have not tested this, but it's possible the checkbox only enables installation of security updates13:15
ducassesame thing as auto install of updates13:16
lotuspsychjegoddard: if your wishlist is sane enough and you find other users to back it, you can get more attention and make a difference on your fav Os13:17
lotuspsychjegoddard: a new installer is also being made based on flutter, now its the time for your ideas?13:18
goddardoh great13:19
goddardlinux people love re-inventing the wheel13:19
lotuspsychjeits called evolution, every release things change13:19
goddardand breaks stuff13:19
goddardand still has bugs and acts crappy13:19
lotuspsychjeyou know any Os that doesnt have bugs?13:19
goddardchange creates bugs13:20
goddardwe have not even perfected basic app store features13:20
goddardbut lets totally make a new installer13:21
goddardwho makes these choices?13:21
lotuspsychjethere's influences from a lot of sides on the ubuntu community13:21
lotuspsychjethere's not a man god pressing a red button up there13:22
goddardwhy can't you right click the dock?13:23
goddardto get settings13:23
goddardwhy cant you minimize apps by clicking the icon on the dock?13:23
goddardthe default experience just feels unfinished and broken13:24
lotuspsychjegoddard: you can minimize apps by clicking icons in dconf-editor13:24
goddardwow sounds super friendly13:25
goddardyou see what i am saying?13:25
goddardthat is not a good solution13:25
ducasseithm it's a setting to enable it13:25
ducasseother than that, the gnome desktop is infamous for removing useful features13:26
lotuspsychjegoddard: create some good solutions bugs and ill affect them if they good13:26
goddardokay13:29
goddardon launchpad?13:29
Maikyep13:29
goddardlaunchpad is annoying as well13:30
goddardhaha13:30
Maiksigh13:30
goddardi remember when i was in college i was trying to read the documentation to learn how to package things and the documentation was wrong.  I ended up updating the documentation and the process was long and not fun.13:30
goddardbzr is not very popular13:31
goddardshouldn't the documentation system itself hold the versions of the documents?  Why is it in source control with bzr??13:32
goddardthats why the documentation is out of date13:32
goddardits hard to do13:32
goddardtoo much energy just to change text13:32
goddardif i used mysql for example13:33
goddardid just have multiple copies of that item13:33
goddardnever delete anything13:33
goddardtake the newest but have the ability to review old stuff13:33
goddardsimple13:33
goddardphp mysql and js13:33
goddardtakes like 10 minutes to set that up and is already better13:34
ducassemysql is a cruel mistress13:34
goddardwell whatever you a cloud provider13:34
goddardmysql is great for something like this13:34
goddardjust have a read cluster and one write master13:34
goddardif it is really getting that much traffic13:34
Maikgeez what a chatter13:35
goddardjust venting all these little annoying things hoping some one hears it13:35
lotuspsychjethis is a discuss channel, not really a monologue vent13:36
Maikvent in your own channel ;)13:36
goddardfeel free to tell me i am wrong13:36
lotuspsychjeperhaps if you learn to discuss with someone it might work goddard13:36
goddardi am doing it now but you guys aren't saying anything13:36
goddardtalk faster :D13:36
goddardwho controls the documentation system in Ubuntu?13:36
Maikmaybe because no one is really interrested?13:37
goddardi know13:37
lotuspsychjea discusion is talk & listen to each other, not a monologue of 1000 polls at the same time13:37
goddardnot paid to be interested13:37
goddardlotuspsychje: haha thats funny13:37
goddardso who is in charge of Ubuntu documentation?13:38
Maiksearch the web for that13:38
Maikall the people here are volunteers13:38
goddardwell i assume some people are paid right?13:38
Maikno13:38
goddardreally?13:38
lotuspsychjegoddard: if you file bugs/wishlists on ubuntu, the right dev gets notified13:38
goddardhow can you afford that?13:38
goddardlotuspsychje: ill do it13:39

goddardthe docs have a link to thepimp.net that is 40414:08
goddardhttp://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=15014:08
goddardi think some people just have low standards14:08
goddardits probably better to have nothing at all compared to that in my opinion14:09
goddardtry to find the code base for the welcome screen14:09
goddardi tried searching for it and couldn't find it14:11
goddardprobably just some python script14:11
goddardif i could easily find the damn thing i could fix the one command14:11
goddardmake it launch the App store as its own process not a sub process14:12
