[20:05] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks: Are you on 22.10 or 22.04 most of the time?
[20:16] <Eickmeyer> Meh, nevermind, building for all. ppa:ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-installer for the rewrite.
[20:17] <Eickmeyer> arraybolt3: If you want something fun to test ^
[20:17] <Eickmeyer> (complete rewrite of ubuntustudio-installer)
[20:17] <arraybolt3[m]> Sounds fun! I'll do that next.
[20:17] <Eickmeyer> It's still building and will need to publish, so not quite ready yet.
[20:18] <arraybolt3[m]> Lubuntu Studio 22.04 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1
[20:18] <Eickmeyer> Nvm, awaiting publishing. Available for Lunar, Kinetic, and Jammy.
[20:18] <Eickmeyer> Rather, will be available.
[20:58] <arraybolt3[m]> Looks like the Kinetic package finished. Testing it now.
[21:19] <Eickmeyer[m]> arraybolt3: How's it looking?
[21:26] <Eickmeyer[m]> Imagine -installer breaking arraybolt3 's machine.
[22:00] <arraybolt3[m]> Eickmeyer: Going well kinda.
[22:00] <arraybolt3[m]> Running it in a VM.
[22:00] <arraybolt3[m]> I checked a ton of boxes, hit OK, the dialog vanished... and is still gone.
[22:00] <arraybolt3[m]> Oh wait here it is.
[22:00] <arraybolt3[m]> OK, so it takes a bit for each new dialog to appear.
[22:00] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, especially if it has a ton of info to process.
[22:00] <arraybolt3[m]> (Had to go afk for a while, back now.)
[22:01] <arraybolt3[m]> <Eickmeyer[m]> "Imagine -installer breaking..." <- lol I think at this point even if it broke my primary rig, we'd probably be OK.
[22:02] <arraybolt3[m]> (One thing I really like about Linuxf, breaking the guts of your system isn't an "oh no the world has ended" event anymore, it's an "Aw, man, gotta repair it. Worst case scenario I can reinstall.")
[22:02] <arraybolt3[m]> s/Linuxf/Linux/
[22:02] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, it's definitely a NBD moment anymore.
[22:03] <arraybolt3[m]> (Technically Windows can be treated the same way, but I have a suspicion it's probably way harder to "just fix" than Linux, mostly because of how much trouble it's given me back when I used it.)
[22:04] <arraybolt3[m]> And don't even get me started about licensing and actually getting a legal Windows disc.
[22:04] <arraybolt3[m]> Eickmeyer: What does "ubuntustudio-menu" do? I didn't check it or kubuntu-backports since I was on Lubuntu, but I'm wondering if I should have checked the latter.
[22:05] <Eickmeyer[m]> It adds the custom menus (Audio Production, Graphic Design, Video Production) and their submenus.
[22:05] <Eickmeyer[m]> If you're on Lubuntu, you don't really need kubuntu-backports.
[22:05] <arraybolt3[m]> Oh fancy! So I should have checked it XD
[22:06] <arraybolt3[m]> Er, right... I meant "should have checked the former".
[22:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, totally.
[22:06] <arraybolt3[m]> s/latter/former/
[22:06] <arraybolt3[m]> I'll just check it too when I'm done.
[22:07] <Eickmeyer[m]> It'll take you back to the main dialog when all the install is done.
[22:07] <Eickmeyer[m]> It's a loop until you hit close.
[22:07] <arraybolt3[m]> Oh nice!
[22:09]  * arraybolt3[m] eats homade cake while waiting for the download
[22:10]  * arraybolt3[m]  * eats homemade cake while waiting for the download
[22:10] <Eickmeyer[m]> Sounds like the thing to do.
[22:22] <arraybolt3[m]> Eickmeyer: OK I hit a slight bug, the second time trying to install stuff (when installing ubuntustudio-menu), it added the ubuntustudio-backports PPA a second time (or at least claimed to), then said "The following PPAs will be purged from your system" and displayed a blank list.
[22:22] <arraybolt3[m]> (I skipped by it too fast, otherwise I'd have screenshots.)
[22:22] <Eickmeyer[m]> arraybolt3: Ok, I'll have to play around with that.
[22:22] <Eickmeyer[m]> The logic in the PPA handling has been a pain in my side.
[22:23] <arraybolt3[m]> Rebooting the VM.
[22:23] <Eickmeyer[m]> It should skip if there are no changes, but... oh well.
[22:24] <arraybolt3[m]> Also it looks like it didn't install the latest versions of everything?
[22:25] <arraybolt3[m]> Fighting with a screenshot...
[22:25] <arraybolt3[m]> Where... did it put it?!
[22:25] <arraybolt3[m]> Hold on, Unity is giving me grief...
[22:25] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, whatever is in the repos + whatever is in the backports PPA.
[22:26]  * arraybolt3[m] uploaded an image: (558KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/lubuntu.me/VphaiekOTkJPaymcgEgVkjUS/image.png >
[22:26] <Eickmeyer[m]> Might not be latest.
[22:26] <arraybolt3[m]> This is what I get right after rebooting.
[22:26] <arraybolt3[m]> So it looks like it installed older packages and now is upgrading them?
[22:26] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, avldrums literally just got copied over from backports-staging, so that checks out. 😂
[22:26] <arraybolt3[m]> Ah.
[22:27] <arraybolt3[m]> So I just have really good timing :P
[22:27] <Eickmeyer[m]> As far as papirus-icons, idk. But that can happen.
[22:28] <arraybolt3[m]> Alright, lowlatency kernel is installed, looks like tons of Studio apps are installed, I think it worked!
[22:29] <Eickmeyer[m]> Sweet. And you found a bug, so that makes me happy.
[22:29] <arraybolt3[m]> Eickmeyer: Hmm, Freeshow isn't installed though.
[22:29] <arraybolt3[m]> Does Snap handling need added by any chance?
[22:30] <Eickmeyer[m]> Snap handling is tricky as it can't be part of a metapackage.
[22:31] <arraybolt3[m]> Makes sense. Can't a "metapackage" be emulated in Python, though? Just have it install the apt package and then do "sudo snap install <package>" for all the Snaps?
[22:31] <arraybolt3[m]> Or have a separate checkbox for Snaps?
[22:31]  * arraybolt3[m] hopes I'm not suggesting things that would entirely overhaul the whole architecture of the system
[22:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, believe it or not, this is written in bash, not python. The handler for the PPA was tricky enough.
[22:32] <Eickmeyer[m]> Each snap would require its own handler.
[22:32] <arraybolt3[m]> Wow. I see what you're saying.
[22:33] <arraybolt3[m]> Maybe I can hack on the code and try to add it at some point? If you don't mind pull requests.
[22:33] <arraybolt3[m]> It seems like Bash would make it easier in some ways and way harder in others.
[22:33] <Eickmeyer[m]> I mean, I don't mind, but I don't feel like it's quite ready for contribution yet since it's got that glaring PPA bug.
[22:33] <arraybolt3[m]> Makes sense.
[22:33] <arraybolt3[m]> (Ardour launches \o/)
[22:34] <Eickmeyer[m]> Well, bash is all I know how to write from the start. It could eventually be ported to Python, I suppose.
[22:34] <arraybolt3[m]> (Uh... avplayer segfaults every time I try to launch it, I think.)
[22:35] <Eickmeyer[m]> Yeah, that's because avplayer is from digikam which is still a git snapshot in kinetic. I have an SRU opened to get it up to 8.0 beta.
[22:35] <arraybolt3[m]> That's probably outside the scope of the current project, but just fyi.
[22:36] <Eickmeyer[m]> Right. Also, this is forked/conjoined with edubuntu-installer, which is currently awaiting AA approval.
[22:38] <arraybolt3[m]> Woot!
[23:18] <Eickmeyer[m]> arraybolt3: Found the problem. A case of backwards and unfinished logic.
[23:32]  * arraybolt3[m] ❤️ coding errors like that, or at least I seem to given how often I make them
