kc2bez[m]Telegram tries but it isn't the same.00:50
tsimonq2Nowhere near.00:50
tsimonq2I definitely think teward should set up a Matrix instance for us. :P00:50
tsimonq2or for Ubuntu00:51
tsimonq2ubuntu.com I'd love that00:51
tewardI definitely think that someone should **pay me** for the infra00:51
tewardif it's going to be for ubuntu.com00:51
tsimonq2fair enough00:51

tsimonq2g_uiverc, l_eok, and a_rraybolt should def come on Matrix :P you too teward00:53
tsimonq2s390x already failed. Love to see it...00:55
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> I see I'm not invited :p (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <tsimonq2> g_uiverc, l_eok, and a_rraybolt should def come on Matrix :P you too teward)00:55
tewards390x is evil and we know it's Simon's fault00:56
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> XD (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <teward> s390x is evil and we know it's Simon's fault)00:56
kc2bez[m]Come on in N0um3n0 the water is warm.00:56
kc2bez[m]XD00:57
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> Jajajaj00:57
tsimonq2come on :D00:58
tsimonq2In case anyone is actually pulling the trigger, it's #lubuntu-devel:libera.chat 01:02
tsimonq2Just waiting on RISC-V to do symbols, and from the looks of it (per last build time) we're talking another 30 minutes. Lovely.01:05
tsimonq2Time for me to go afk for a bit, for real01:06
arraybolt3I can't see reactions here on IRC.01:19
* arraybolt3 tells teward and tsimonq2 to go eat a donut and calm down01:19
tsimonq2Exactly. Come to the dark side. :)01:19
tewardthis is just typical behavior for me and simon when we snipe at eaceh other :P01:20
arraybolt3NEVER!01:20
* arraybolt3 switches on lightsaber01:20
kc2bez[m]Just on Matrix. Replies are nicer too.01:20
* arraybolt3 throws lightsaber at teward01:20
teward*catches the lightsaber*01:20
teward*takes out the Kyber crystal, and adds it to the kyber beam rifle he's building*01:20
* arraybolt3 exit stage left, good luck Simon01:21
tewardthat's crystal number... four... so i need... one more...01:21
* tsimonq2 reacts to that on Matrix01:21
arraybolt3OK well I'll check out Matrix. I've looked into it a bit, sounds cool.01:21
arraybolt3Which Matrix client should I use? Element looks like it isn't totally FOSS at first glance, I'm on KDE desktop if it matters.01:26
tewardthe SimonSucks client.  *shot*01:26
tewardokay i'm going to go offline, i need rest.01:26
teward(this is also normal for me and simon :P)01:27
arraybolt3I know that, I was just joining the fun.01:27
tewardyep yep :)01:27
teward*offlines for sleep*01:27
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> Me too , 3:28 am...01:28
tsimonq2<arraybolt3> "Which Matrix client should I use..." <- 100% FOSS01:52
tsimonq2Element01:52
arraybolt3OK, nice! I was scared away with words like "personal" in the free version.01:57
tsimonq2All good :) see you on the Matrix side!02:00
arraybolt3[m]GOOD GRIEF! OK, that was a lot of legal documents to sort through, but I'm finally here.02:30
arraybolt3(arraybolt3[m] is me, just so everyone knows someone didn02:33
arraybolt3didn't hijack my name.)02:33
tsimonq2Good to see you :)03:53
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> ok good.. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <tsimonq2> guiverc @Leokolb: If you guys watch Discourse, let's streamline all the testing I'm about to ask for there ;))04:45
tsimonq2Heyyy!14:40
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> ?? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <tsimonq2> Heyyy!)15:00
tsimonq2I just saw you joined Matrix ;)15:01
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Yes but also telegram which i am on right now (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <tsimonq2> I just saw you joined Matrix ;))15:01
tsimonq2https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/4856/+packages libfm-qt rolling15:19
tsimonq2I just wanted to get that started right away this morning. Just a symbols update.15:19
tsimonq2Now I have to go do some Altispeed stuff :) I'll be around, not actively working on this though15:19
tsimonq2FTBFS on all arches because of symbols. Lovely.15:50
kc2bez[m]Not risc yet, you have to wait for an hour first. :P15:52
tsimonq2Sounds about right. :P15:53
tsimonq2(To be fair, it's the only reason I'm so eager to use Bileto still, it's because we can do symbols on arches that we can't normally build in a PPA.)15:53
tsimonq2(AFAIK you still can't enable riscv64 in any old PPA.)15:54
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Just got a confirm of maintenance work on the QA testing site which will be down until tomorror (unable to log in)16:23
kc2bez[m]Thanks Leó17:31
tsimonq2Updated libfm-qt again after symbols. Hopefully the last one before I can continue.18:25
kc2bez[m]libfm-qt is such a beast.18:42
kc2bez[m]Moar symbols 😂18:43
tsimonq2take a look at my previous changelog entries :)18:43
kc2bez[m]I noticed 😉18:43
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> the latest version of lxqt is not 1.1.1 ?19:19
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> lxqt-project.org19:19
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> Point release lxqt-session 1.1.1 | LXQt19:19
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> The LXQt team announces a point release of lxqt-session 1.1.1.qtxdg-tools is added as a dependency, to be used by xdg-utils under LXQt Session.19:19
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> or the only difference is lxqt-session?19:19
tsimonq2I've been checking it as I go and the vast majority of the packages have the latest tag of 1.1.0.19:20
tsimonq2If you find any 1.1.1, please ping me.19:20
tsimonq2(Besides lxqt-session, of course.)19:21
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/lxqt/19:23
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> It seems that way, I just looked at arch for example, it's just lxqt-session19:23
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> Perfect19:23
tsimonq2Thank you for pointing that out! I definitely appreciate it.19:24
tsimonq2lxqt-about uploaded19:29
tsimonq2lxqt-admin uploaded19:39
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-archiver19:52
kc2bez[m]I concur from my monitoring. lxqt-session is the only package at 1.1.1 I may have missed something but I don't think so.19:54
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-config20:01
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Waiting to test.. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <tsimonq2> ✅ lxqt-config)20:15
tsimonq2Getting there :)20:15
tsimonq2Fighting with symbols for lxqt-globalkeys right now20:15
tsimonq2⚠️ lxqt-globalkeys20:40
tsimonq2waiting for it to build on the PPA end, probably need another symbols update20:40
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Late here ..back in a.m. .20:49
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-globalkeys20:52
kc2bez[m]lubot: Take care Leó20:54
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-notificationd20:58
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-openssh-askpass21:11
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-policykit21:22
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> It seems that it is 1.1.0 with several point releases, as indicated on the web.21:26
tsimonq2✅ lxqt-session21:46
* tsimonq2 -> afk for a few21:46
* tsimonq2 wonders what the future of Calamares looks like22:39
tsimonq2Did anyone see the announcement for the latest release?22:39
arraybolt3[m]I saw your request for testing, if that's what you're asking.22:40
kc2bez[m]Yes, [ade] had a blog post. Let me dig it up.22:40
tsimonq2https://euroquis.nl/calamares/2022/05/29/calamares-handoff.html22:42
arraybolt3[m]I see that the last release was made by... one guy. Yikes, that's like what happened to OpenOffice. And one of the main developers stepped down,22:42
arraybolt3[m]s/,/.22:42
kc2bez[m]There are several folks working on it but [ade] was paid to by blue Systems.22:43
arraybolt3[m]Anyone here know C++?22:43
tsimonq2I'm okay with it.22:44
tsimonq2Radical idea: put the tip of 3.3 in Kinetic and start fixing bugs + adding features where needed 22:45
arraybolt3[m]That might not be a bad idea, if we're prepared to fall back to 3.2 just before the feature freeze in the event things go poorly.22:45
kc2bez[m]Maybe we should drop it in a PPA22:45
tsimonq2I think it would be good to throw it in a PPA, smoke test it at least, then Release The Kraken22:46
tsimonq2We also should do a calamares SRU soon for 22.0422:46
kc2bez[m]Sounds like a good plan. Admittedly I am not very organized and completely forgot where things were.22:47
tsimonq2Eickmeyer @eickmeyer:matrix.org: ^^^ please shout if I break your s*** ;)22:47
arraybolt3[m](BTW, loving reactions on Matrix)22:48
tsimonq2One of the many benefits :)22:48
arraybolt3[m]So, fork Calamares and develop it into something of our own? If we made it good enough, maybe we could unify the installers between the Ubuntu flavours. I hate Ubiquity - it's slow, has some bugs, and lacks features of Calamares. I would love to see an all-Calamares Ubuntu.22:49
kc2bez[m]I don't know about a fork. Like I said there are a bunch of smart folks poking at it.22:50
tsimonq2That would be nice, that is, if one of us here had any influence whatsoever at Canonical ;)22:50
tsimonq2Good thought though 22:51
kc2bez[m]I think it will continue to be developed and we can keep it around.22:51
tsimonq2We will definitely be more involved going forward 22:51
arraybolt3[m]I tried figuring out how to fix a security vuln in Ubiquity (erase disk during encrypted install does nothing, you can recover old data with PhotoRec), and couldn't make heads or tails of the logs. (The vuln is public, FYI.)22:51
tsimonq2I mean, I guess *technically* patching an original tarball is kind of forking it :P22:52
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: Niceeeeeeeee22:52
tsimonq2Yeah Ubiquity is... antiquated 22:52
kc2bez[m]Ubiquity isn't around much longer anyway. The flutter installer is coming.22:52
tsimonq2kc2bez[m]: Yeah?22:53
arraybolt3[m]Hey, while we're on the topic, when I was fighting with the LibreOffice localization bug, one of the people on GitHub (I think a dev) said something about how our networking configuration is bad. Let me pull it up...22:54
tsimonq2What's the latest on that?22:54
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: Probably. Shoot22:54
arraybolt3[m]https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1942#issuecomment-112586933322:55
ubot93Issue 1942 in calamares/calamares "Packages.conf try_install no longer installs any packages on systems that use symlinked resolv.conf in live environment" [Closed]22:55
kc2bez[m]tsimonq2: Testing has been happening for main Ubuntu for a couple of cycles now. Flavors are going to be able to jump on the bandwagon. 22:55
kc2bez[m]arraybolt3[m]: I saw your bug report. We need to update our cala settings. 22:56
arraybolt3[m]No, I mean the bit about nsswitch.conf. Click the link.22:56
arraybolt3[m]It goes to a comment made by a dev. He thinks we have a broken configuration in our networking stuff and should follow Fedora's example by changing our configuration.22:57
kc2bez[m]Well that is all the flavors plus main.22:57
arraybolt3[m](At least, I think the comment was made by a dev.)22:57
kc2bez[m]We sometimes have to stick to the platform expectation22:57
arraybolt3[m]I guess I should bring this up in #ubuntu-devel:libera.chat 22:58
kc2bez[m]Maybe. I have watched some of the folks you are referring to and occasionally a little salt needs to be sprinkled about.22:59
kc2bez[m]Fedora is not Ubuntu and vice-versa22:59
kc2bez[m]It couldn't hurt to ask why it is that way but I am guessing there is a good reason.23:01
arraybolt3[m]Well, I see his logic, but also see what you're saying. I'd guess there's something deep in the guts of Ubuntu that depends on the "bad" configuration.23:01
kc2bez[m]Right. Like I said it might be good to ask why though.23:02
arraybolt3[m](Hey, how do I test that flutter installer? Would that be Ubuntu Canary?)23:02
kc2bez[m]Yes23:02
kc2bez[m]It uses subiquity under the hood.23:03
tsimonq2<arraybolt3[m]> "(Hey, how do I test that flutter..." <- Ubuntu Canary is the development release but with an added testing PPA23:27
tsimonq2We were given the green light to do such a thing 23:27
tsimonq2However, I didn't get that far 23:27
tsimonq2<arraybolt3[m]> "I guess I should bring this up..." <- Good call23:28
arraybolt3[m]tsimonq2: What thing? To try out Canary on Lubuntu?23:28
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: Lubuntu Canary23:28
arraybolt3[m]Ah.23:28
tsimonq2Unfortunately a lot of our testing happened in the archive. :P23:28
tsimonq2The initial development cycle with LXQt was **rough**23:29
kc2bez[m]The current Ubuntu Canary iso has the flutter thingy.23:29
tsimonq2I still remember the days when we had Raphael and Julien. I miss those days...23:29
arraybolt3[m]Well, Ubuntu Canary appeared to have some problems last I looked, so I'm not sure if it's worth testing. Calamares is working great, and I like how you can actually tweak the settings yourself. Ubiquity didn't appear to make that easy AFAIK.23:30
tsimonq2(Julien was the original Lubuntu maintainer... I hate saying I took the reins from him because I haven't done squat compared to him)23:30
kc2bez[m]arraybolt3[m]: It gets a fair bit of attention and changes almost daily so it isn't a bad thing to keep an eye on.23:31
arraybolt3[m]Oh OK. But if something ain't broke, why fix it? Remember Debian's wise words about "shiny new thing syndrome".23:31
kc2bez[m]tsimonq2: I disagree, you've been great for this project.23:31
arraybolt3[m]https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_suffer_from_Shiny_New_Stuff_Syndrome23:32
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: That's what they told us when we switched to Calamares23:32
arraybolt3[m]Ubuntu could use the installer fix. Lubuntu, not so much IMO.23:32
kc2bez[m]arraybolt3[m]: I don't disagree with that philosophy. I still like the watchful eye on what is happening.23:32
tsimonq2I remember infinity (God rest his soul) scolding me in a PM like "wtf why"23:32
arraybolt3[m](Also, Canary seems like it's going to make a fragmented mess. We already use Ubiquity for everything except Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, who use Calamares. Now we're gonna have Ubiquity, Flutter, and Calamares. AAAAA!)23:35
tsimonq2kc2bez[m]: I used to let my ego get to me. Meeting vorlon and going to Portland changed that completely for me. I don't know anything compared to some :)23:35
tsimonq2I'm saying that as a Debian Developer and Ubuntu Core Developer23:36
arraybolt3[m]Hopefully Flutter will either replace Ubiquity wholesale, or it will die out and Calamares will take over.23:36
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: I think the goal is to sunset Ubiquity shortly 23:36
kc2bez[m]tsimonq2: I get what you are saying and it isn't a bad thing to be humbled but you have still pushed this project along the timeline in a good way.23:38
tsimonq2Anyway23:38
tsimonq2I'd say so, but I will continue to downplay it until I feel I'm ready :)23:38
arraybolt3[m]How close are we to testing LXQt? Should I be prepping to test it right away, or is built step IV still far enough away that I should be doing other stuff until then?23:44
arraybolt3[m]s/built/build23:44
kc2bez[m]I would say it is a bit away.23:45
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> next to all of you I feel tiny :p (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <tsimonq2> I'd say so, but I will continue to downplay it until I feel I'm ready :))23:47
kc2bez[m]Simon Quigley: Had a couple of questions while I have a moment at the keys. 1. Was wondering why you skipped a couple of the build step III things. 2. bug 1966774 should that be filed against calamares-settings-ubuntu and fixed released for kinetic?23:47

kc2bez[m]lubot: I am hardly fluent in one language. You know how many?23:50
arraybolt3[m]kc2bez[m]: LOL Me too. I tried learning Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, and Greek at one point or another, I finally gave up on all of them since spoken languages are just too insanely complicated for my brain. Computer languages are much more organized (though misunderstandings can have far worse consequences...).23:51
arraybolt3[m]Thankfully, that's why we have Google Translate.23:52
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> I almost 1, the rest with the help of the translator :p (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <kc2bez[m]> lubot: I am hardly fluent in one language. You know how many?)23:52
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> Yes! Jajaja (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3[m]> Thankfully, that's why we have Google Translate.)23:53
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> Besides, I haven't worked for 9 years and that discourages me a lot.23:56
