[01:33] <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
[01:34] <arraybolt3> @ahoneybun, @Rick_Timmis: ^
[01:35] <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 !!
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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
[01:38] <valorie> using RedRyder
[01:38] <valorie> :-)
[01:38] <valorie> <--- old
[01:40] <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
[01:41]  * 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
[01:42] <valorie> because 90s was when I bought the mac to do a class in college
[01:42] <valorie> didn't want to do win
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <valorie> kids, I mean - bonus child is also mac user
[01:48] <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)
[01:52] <valorie> I never tried os/2, but Paul ran his BBS on it
[01:53] <valorie> and I used his BBS to get fidonet
[01:53] <valorie> I paid for the phone line so I could get fidonet
[01:54] <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... 
[01:55] <valorie> not quite the same as using Google Groups....
[01:56] <valorie> oh well, time changes things
[01:56] <guiverc> :)
[02:44]  * 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.
[09:53] <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.
[12:05] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:43] <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)
[13:40] <mparillo> Updated. Let's see how long it takes WP to propagate the changes.
[14:00] <mparillo> Looks good to me now. Thank you for alerting us.
[18:20] <valorie> mparillo: you can edit the website?
[18:52] <mparillo> Yes. I think I made two recent changes around the sha256sum and the link.
[18:57] <mparillo> And I just edited the Bit Torrent link seconds ago.
[19:18] <valorie> excellent, always better to have a few people with the knowledge and access
[19:19] <valorie> thank you mparillo
[19:19] <valorie> Aaron tried to fix on his phone whilst at LFNW but obviously that didn't work perfectly
[19:20] <valorie> having much of the team on the road at the same time was unfortunate
[19:28] <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]
[21:12] <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
