| guiverc | the page https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/ needs an edit... Anyone with authority; can you please change "Kubuntu" in the links to be "kubuntu"... as that matters for the URLs.. currently they give 404s | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| arraybolt3 | @ahoneybun, @Rick_Timmis: ^ | 01:34 |
| guiverc | Also NOTE the checksum for 24.04 isn't complete... https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/24.04/release/SHA256SUMS shows extra characters (ie. not all was likely copy/pasted)... | 01:35 |
| valorie | thank you guiverc - I think aaron was fixing stuff from his phone at linuxfest NW | 01:35 |
| guiverc | https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1cg7zss/incorrect_sha256_checksum_on_the_download_page/ is where I saw it... | 01:35 |
| valorie | I dunno how to fixit and don't want to know | 01:35 |
| valorie | lol | 01:35 |
| valorie | WP is a bit of a pain | 01:35 |
| guiverc | It'll need wordpress login no doubt... and yeah WP is a royal.pain !! | 01:35 |
| guiverc | (old word.perfect was less of a pain... shame WP doesn't still refer to that) | 01:36 |
| valorie | I doubt @Rick_Timmis is home from his hols yet | 01:36 |
| valorie | heck, I used to run WordStar | 01:36 |
| valorie | that was far less pain | 01:36 |
| valorie | on my TV | 01:36 |
| valorie | and my Coleco ADAM computer! | 01:37 |
| guiverc | yeah I still have wordstar (3.3) available on this box here (wp 5.1 too) ... run in dosbox | 01:37 |
| valorie | no clue about version, but I dl'd it and installed it in the 90s | 01:37 |
| valorie | using RedRyder | 01:38 |
| valorie | :-) | 01:38 |
| valorie | <--- old | 01:38 |
| guiverc | a look at my LAN directory for wp51.. and many files a dated 1-Nov-1988, but WP.EXE itself is 17-Nov-1989 ... | 01:40 |
| valorie | wow | 01:40 |
| * guiverc doesn't house-clean some directories very often.. | 01:41 | |
| valorie | well, could have been the 80s, maybe even the mid-80s | 01:41 |
| valorie | Anne was still young, and she was born in 1980 | 01:41 |
| valorie | actually, yeah | 01:41 |
| valorie | because 90s was when I bought the mac to do a class in college | 01:42 |
| valorie | didn't want to do win | 01:42 |
| guiverc | my 'old' files are from dos 5.02 so pre-win era .. the older files are also tiny, so never worried about deleting them, also wp5.1, ws2000 & ws3.3 still run in dosbox so can be used to read old cp/m, dos or most of my os/2 files word.processing should I ever have the need | 01:44 |
| valorie | heh, my middle son Paul loooooved OS/2 | 01:45 |
| valorie | now a Win user | 01:45 |
| valorie | I have one of each - lin/win/mac in order of age | 01:45 |
| valorie | kids, I mean - bonus child is also mac user | 01:46 |
| valorie | I did have a win laptop but thomas made it dual boot with Mandrake in about 2000/2001 | 01:48 |
| valorie | and I just never booted back into Win | 01:48 |
| * guiverc did too (OS/2)... i tried w2k after os/2... then decided to just use GNU/Linux as I felt more at home there (I could treat it like unix & I was happy) | 01:48 | |
| valorie | I never tried os/2, but Paul ran his BBS on it | 01:52 |
| valorie | and I used his BBS to get fidonet | 01:53 |
| valorie | I paid for the phone line so I could get fidonet | 01:53 |
| valorie | basicly for news, for which I used FreeAgent | 01:54 |
| valorie | still the application with the Best Logo Ever imo | 01:54 |
| * guiverc used to love fidonet long ago... | 01:54 | |
| valorie | not quite the same as using Google Groups.... | 01:55 |
| valorie | oh well, time changes things | 01:56 |
| guiverc | :) | 01:56 |
| * arraybolt3 used Win2K for years and years, well past its EOL date | 02:44 | |
| arraybolt3 | Best Windows release, best UI of any OS period, but meh, anything with Windows under the hood is less happy to use than something with a Linux kernel. | 02:44 |
| mparillo | I think I updated the sha256sum for 24.04 to ec3db0c5179556a9f5ff0895c57935ed1789612459e42558c24387b3b0b19b0c on https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/ but I need to wait until the changes propagate before I can be certain. | 09:53 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:05 |
| guiverc | mparillo, on https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/ it still points to https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/releases/24.04/release/SHA256SUMS currently which is an invalid URL (Kubuntu needs to be lower case) | 12:43 |
| mparillo | Updated. Let's see how long it takes WP to propagate the changes. | 13:40 |
| mparillo | Looks good to me now. Thank you for alerting us. | 14:00 |
| valorie | mparillo: you can edit the website? | 18:20 |
| mparillo | Yes. I think I made two recent changes around the sha256sum and the link. | 18:52 |
| mparillo | And I just edited the Bit Torrent link seconds ago. | 18:57 |
| valorie | excellent, always better to have a few people with the knowledge and access | 19:18 |
| valorie | thank you mparillo | 19:19 |
| valorie | Aaron tried to fix on his phone whilst at LFNW but obviously that didn't work perfectly | 19:19 |
| valorie | having much of the team on the road at the same time was unfortunate | 19:20 |
| arraybolt3 | @room does anyone have the slideshow source files? | 19:28 |
| arraybolt3 | Would be interested in fixing up https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares-settings-ubuntu/+bug/2062436, I already wrote the SRU paperwork for it. | 19:28 |
| -ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2062436 in calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu) "Kubuntu: slideshow states that we ship VLC by default. we do not" [Undecided, New] | 19:28 | |
| mparillo | BitTorrent link on https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/ appears to have been propagated. New Link: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/noble/release/kubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 21:12 |
| * genii sees another "Suspend Again" email and his eyelid twitches | 22:14 | |
