BluesKajHi all13:41
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Heyo BluesKaj14:02
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> @RikMills is there anything I can do for the 23.04 cycle currently?14:03
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I should check on the artwork stuff.14:03
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> That might be good14:03
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> At the moment we are mostly waiting on Plasma 5.27 and the frameworks that supports it14:04
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I need to find out if it is even available yet.14:04
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> And new QT in proposed14:05
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I can't boot a live disk of Kubuntu 22.04 or 22.10 on my HP Omen...14:05
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> It runs about of memory due to a GRUB bug14:05
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Urgh14:05
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Yeaaa14:06
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I had a working 22.04 install but after some updates and a reboot it went down.14:06
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Currently I have Pop 22.04 on it as that boots fine. Funny enough Nobara booted fine as well though it doesn't boot.14:07
BluesKajhey @ahoneybun14:09
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> heyo!14:11
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> @RikMills I want to get it booting again!14:14
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> how much memory for those?14:14
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> and is there a link to the bug?14:17
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I think this one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/184232014:20
-ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 1842320 in OEM Priority Project "Can't boot: 'error: out of memory.' immediately after the grub menu" [Critical, Triaged]14:20
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Looks like there might be a fix in 23.04.14:20
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/grub2/grub2_2.06-2ubuntu16/changelog14:22
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I guess this is a reason to test 23.04 haha14:23
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> right. lets hope so :) (re @ahoneybun: Looks like there might be a fix in 23.04.)14:23
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I'll test with a daily build tonight if I remember or on the weekend.14:23
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I would like to start having a Kubuntu Manual for reach release maybe starting with 23.04.14:24
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> This HP Omen with a 4K display is coming in handy as I can write about my experience and workarounds with it.14:24
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Main question is how many branches can I keep in Github haha14:25
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> @RikMills I tried to log into our twitter, can you send the code?15:34
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I'm wondering about posting our releases like 5.26.5.15:34
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Later. Not at home right now (re @ahoneybun: @RikMills I tried to log into our twitter, can you send the code?)15:38
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> Ahh no worries15:42
EickmeyerDoes anybody know the purpose of /etc/fonts/conf.avail/56-kubuntu-noto.conf? I'm getting user reports (via Twitter, of all places -_- ) of it breaking fonts in web browsers, and recently a bug report was filed about hinting breakages.16:06
Eickmeyer(we have an identical 56-ubuntustudio-noto.conf from the Ubuntu Studio fork of the settings 2 years ago)16:07
EickmeyerSeems to be from 2010, so perhaps a relic of Plasma 4?16:07
RikMillsEickmeyer: it gives better noto rendering16:18
EickmeyerRikMills: You might want to check the numerous bug reports against kubuntu-settings then.16:19
EickmeyerSeems people are disagreeing.16:19
RikMillsalso see: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/1:23.04.216:19
RikMillsthat bug is not about noto16:19
EickmeyerIt's about roboto, and the config mentions robot.16:20
Eickmeyer*roboto16:20
RikMillsEickmeyer: look at the diff16:21
EickmeyerOk, I see.16:21
RikMillsit is matching https://invent.kde.org/neon/neon/settings/-/commit/b52ae1e91dd3cd0bdf7f11d6d36fde0141be1afc16:21
-ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Commit b52ae1e in neon/neon/settings "remove the roboto hinting rules"16:21
EickmeyerIn that case, it needs to be turned into an SRU and we both need to do it.16:22
RikMillsgoing to test the change 1st16:23
RikMillsbut need to faff with a real machine16:23
* Eickmeyer could've used a heads-up about this, the guy's been bugging me on Twitter16:24
EickmeyerBTW, it's in /etc, so you're going to have to force the overwrite somehow.16:25
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> sent (re @ahoneybun: Ahh no worries)16:34
IrcsomeBot<ahoneybun> I took time to update the artwork on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official16:44
RikMillsEickmeyer: no, I won't16:44
RikMillsif the user hasn't modified it, it will cleanly change16:45
EickmeyerI've found that to be not necessarily true. A similar change in a patch to sddm caused a breakage to Lubuntu's updater because it has no facility for prompting the user.16:47
RikMillsI'm pretty sure it will be fine via update with discover or apt. but again, I will test16:48
EickmeyerI'm also going to test, but via PPA.16:48
RikMillsEickmeyer: thanks for mentioning :)16:48
EickmeyerYou're welcome. I really hate it when people try to hit me with bug reports outside of launchpad. (grinds my gears016:48
RikMillsEickmeyer: apt handled it fine16:51
RikMillsI'll try discover later when it has migrated from proposed16:52
EickmeyerI'll try via discover from my end, on lunar.16:52
EickmeyerPackage is only just now uploaded to PPA.16:53
EickmeyerBTW, if you all want to do the switch to Pipewire in Lunar, I can help with that.16:54
RikMillsEickmeyer: we switched in Kinetic16:55
EickmeyerOh! That's news that never really hit.16:56
RikMillswe jumped with Ubuntu and IIRC mate and some others17:15
RikMillsEickmeyer: update via discover applied correctly as well17:18
EickmeyerRikMills: That's excellent news.17:18
RikMillsshould probably test with jammy though, in case there so issue with apt there17:18
RikMillsthere is17:19
EickmeyerRikMills: Overwrote just fine on my end too.19:17
RikMills\o/19:42
