freecad packages for Ubuntu

2022-08-31 Thread Eric Peterka
Hi there. 

 

I'm needing some features that are in FreeCAD 18.5 or later.   What are the odds of seeing FreeCAD 19.2 or 20.1 in the focal-backports repository so those of us running Ubuntu LTS releases (and other distros based on Ubuntu LTS releases) can get an updated version through the backports repository?

 

I'm a FreeCAD user on Ubuntu 20.04LTS (by way of Linux Mint).  Currently, the package in the Ubuntu Focal repositories is FreeCad version 18.4, and there's nothing in the focal-backports repository for a newer version.   I do see 19.2 is in the jammy and kinetic repositories, and the current 20.1 version is in kinetic-proposed.  Can either of these version s be put in focal-backports?  That's what the backports repository is for. 

 

PS, if you need some testing (and have test scripts I can run or whatever), I might be able to help with that some.  I'm a user, not a software developer, but I do have some technical experience, even in the software development arena (from long ago in a previous lifetime/career).

Re: Call for nominations: Developer Membership Board

2020-02-06 Thread Eric Desrochers
Since we have not yet enough nominations and it was the same situation at
last election 2 years ago, I started to think about what can be changed in
our approach.

One thing that comes to my mind is what if the nomination were public ?
Right now it is private and only visible to the DMB team. It is only public
once the condorcet vote officially start.

Would it helps having more folks nominating themselves (ripple effect) if
they see someone they know give it a try ?
Would it make the nomination less intimidating for some individuals ?

Regards,
Eric

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] ubuntu-studio-devel Digest, Vol 85, Issue 5

2014-05-12 Thread Eric Hedekar
The trouble with creating such a list is the sheer upkeep of said list.
There are bug listings and some blueprints in launchpad (on my phone now so
I don't have the links), but the development team does much more than
that.  Art for each release (icons, wallpapers, etc...), documentation for
new procedures, testing on various platforms, finding new features to add
(new program releases), packaging new programs, etc... the list is large
and constantly changing.  Well it's either constantly changing or it's too
generic to be meaningful.  Essentially, if you'd like to help out one of
the first steps is opening an IRC chat client like xchat and going to the
#ubuntustudio-devel room to start asking what you can help with, then just
pick a direction and do it.  We're all friendly, just  start asking
questions and decide where your strengths fit in.

New Developer

2013-07-25 Thread Eric Sage
Hello.

I have had a passion for Ubuntu and open source several years now, and
although I attempted many times to jump in to contributing, I could never
seem to find the courage or correct place to start. So, I'm writing this in
the hopes that someone might point me in the correct direction. I have read
all the beginning development guides, and while the information there was
helpful, I couldn't pinpoint a place for me to begin working. I'm looking
for some tasks that require less of a learning curve that I can start
immediately. I have already looked at the ubuntu bug tracker, but I could
not seem to find a good starting place there as most of the bugs seemed
rather specific to a certain program or technology that I am unfamiliar
with, but would like to eventually! Anyway, I hope this reaches the ears of
someone who can help me, as I am quite eager to begin working.

Re: Making Studio work with more than one DE

2013-05-22 Thread Eric Hedekar
This really was one of the most dramatic train/thread derailments I've seen
in a while.  Impressive.

As far as other desktop environments are concerned, part of me is in favour
of this mindset being adopted (as I've never left gnome despite Ubuntu
Studio's switch to xfce - I just don't like that DE).  If a modular front
end was adopted then it would encourage wider usage and a better overall
design.  However, what Hartmut may have been trying to state was that this
is development is probably not the best use of developer's time.  There
have almost always been stability issues, bugs, and lack of documentation
in Ubuntu Studio that the user sees as more drastic to their workflow than
annoying quirks from the given DE.  So yeah, apply force to the major
problems, but it would be a prudent philosophy to reduce the amount of
xfce-specific code that ships with the distro.  We don't know how long into
the future the xfce platform will best suit our needs (very little warning
was given during the gnome/unity move that prompted our switch to xfce in
the first place), and the lack of DE-specific code the easier it will be
for those of us who love a different DE to just switch.

 Getting audio working for audio production, with some bloated desktop
 environments is not very useful. Some desktop environemts do start a
 chunk of services by default to automagically enable usage for many
 things, so the user needs to customize those desktops for audio work, or
 somebody from the community has to do it. There are common workflows for
 pro-audio work and even while I could add a list of odd things, caused
 by Xfce, it's a sane choice to use it as the default for Ubuntu Studio.
 I'm using it on other Linux installs too.

 Pulseaudio is something that should be discussed. It's not an issue to
 have it installed and to disable it, but it's an issue for users who
 start sessions by scripts, if there is the need to start qjackctl, but
 to kill qjackctl.real or what ever it's called ;). I don't remember
 what the qjackctl(.fake)-script does and can't take a look at it at
 the moment, but IIRC it did something that also could be started by
 qjackctl, instead of naming a script qjackctl and then let it start
 qjackctl.real.

 IMO it's already annoying if I need to start an app by it's name, but to
 kill it by killing python, however, this at least makes sense, while
 this qjackctl.thingy is an exotic Ubuntu Studio unique thing, that IMO
 isn't well thought out. A wrapper sometimes is useful, but this wrapper
 is strange.

Re: LMMS

2012-10-14 Thread Eric Hedekar
On Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 1:31 PM, Len Ovens l...@ovenwerks.net wrote:

 The ubuntu version of LMMS seems to come with VST support including wine
 (depends not recomends). We have had some of this stuff before and there
 has been issues with 64bit ISO builds as I recall. In other words a 64bit
 machine can load wine but the ISO still doesn't build. We had that problem
 before we went to live ISO... so there would be another problem as well.
 When wine loads it grabs the windows fonts which are free but licensed.
 The user has to ok the license. I don't know that this would be possible
 with ubiquity... Doesn't work with jackd. It may be best to leave it as
 extra SW. Interesting thing is that as installed, the software center
 can't see LMMS even though synaptic can. The sources have to be added
 under other software - Canonical Partners and/or Independent, before it
 shows up. This may mean it is not considered to be _in_ the ubuntu repos.

 Also after ISO install software center can't install software until the
 update manager has been run at least once (bug reported and confirmed,
 seems not to be a US problem).

Quite right.  There are licensing issues that LMMS is currently built with
in the repos that we can't exactly include by default.  It would take a lot
of work to tweak and maintain a different LMMS build, and even then we'd be
creating a reduced feature set for the end user and those who really want
to use the program would likely install a different version (or be
discouraged by our included version and not use the program at all).  It's
probably best to stick with more fully open and free software, suggesting
LMMS to those interested in using VST-based production methods, possibly
via a suggestion in our help documents.

  Also, I just checked.  The LMMS binary is built upstream in Debian and

  believe this is an option worth considering.

 Wouldn't listing the fonts package in the blacklist seed stop the live ISO
 from adding that?

 I think we should try it. I think it would do one of three things:

 1) apt will try and install it anyway and the ISO won't build
 2) apt will add it to the stuff that needs to be installed but won't
 because of the blacklist and so will download the installer at install
 time and at first update will run the installer and the user will get the
 license screen.
 3) the font will not install and the user will not be able to install
 afterwards either (because of black list - I don't think so)
 4) (where did this come from?) the font will not install but the user will
 be able to install latter.

 1 and 3 are bad, 2 and 4 are ok. 1a) apt will add it to the ISO build but
 the accept will not happen so it won't load... this may be ok.

 So now its five things :)


I'm not exactly sure what will take place if the recommended font package
gets blacklisted.  I'm also not sure of the legality of this - i.e. will
the font package in question appear on our ISO and do we have legal rights
to do this with our/ubuntu's distribution policies?

I will say that the users may complain that wine does not run nicely unless
these fonts are installed after.  If you've blacklisted the fonts then can
they ever install them without throwing a conflict error?  There's a lot of
testing that will need to be worked on here.  Wine is quite a big element
of many people's computers.  Be careful what you blacklist.  Fairly soon I
think some MOTU consultation should take place on this matter.  Len can you
look into these questions?

 Hi all.

 I agree we need to since it is a crucial part of the system and it takes
 only about 10 MB of disk space so...

 BTW I talked to Nicholas Skaggs and the final decision was to dump the
 manual partitioning and auto-resize testcases and only remain the entire

 I think characterizing this as a crucial part of the system might be
 misrepresenting LMMS as I think Ubuntu Studio is quite functional in
 numerous use cases.

 We should also consider how many people are asking for LMMS. If we
 included every application asked for, we would easily oversize the 4gig
 image. I have been worried about making everyone download extra megs (oh,
 won't someone think of the bandwidth) because one person said we should
 include something.

 However, I am not opposed to including it. I just want to make sure we
 evaluate the inclusion on it's own merits, that we are supported a complete
 work flow (i.e. there are no other applications needed to support getting
 the task done), and the user demand warrants inclusion.

 I look forward to other's input.

 ScottL


 I think it's a valid addition.
 I know some people prefer this kind of applications to Qtractor or Ardour.
 On their homepage they make reference to LMMS being a Linux alternative
 to FL Studio. In my experience there are FL Studio people, and then there
 is the other kind.
 Don't use it myself, but I definitely think it fills a workflow hole for
 a good portion of people.

 i found LMMS to be crashy in 10.04... and i havent used it since really.
 if its stable and something that others want added, im OK with that. i
 always thought that even if it worked and was stable, my opinion was that
 it was toy-ish... we cant include *everything* and there are some key
 pieces of my workflow that are not installed that i have no issues with
 installing on my own. however, if someone wants to host a meeting, and
 vote on the inclusion of LMMS, i'll come and participate, and not vote it
 down, since i have no strong opinions other than it needs to be stable.

This is certainly not the first discussion we've had about including LMMS,
and it probably won't be the last.  None of the past conversations have
come to a conclusion that it should be included as there are other more
polished tools that complete the same or similar workflow.  LMMS has had
stability issues in the past but maybe it's outgrown these now.  My
personal vote would be to include it in the 'suggested install' section and
leave it off the actual disk.  It's possible that reorganization of the
workflows and meta packages could find a slot where LMMS fits perfectly,
but I don't believe there's a spot it would fill right now.

Well many people don't know about a2jmidid so if we start seeing a lot of
apps using the new platform it would be good to have it automagically
running behind the scenes.  This type of sctipt would be perfect to
integrate into Ubuntu Studio Controls so users can turn the script on/off.

 Why are you trying to install no longer supported software on a no
 longer supported operating system?
 
 http://software.decisionsoft.com/ recommends you use xqilla instead of
 pathan which is in the Ubuntu archives.
 
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases lists the currently supported Ubuntu

template export(or export template) features

2011-07-03 Thread eric
Dear (Ubuntu linux) g++ programers:

  In my test with g++4.5.2, I can not make .cpp file contain template
unless I instantiate it but that will spoil its flexibility/dynamics
to runtime binding.  And I certainly think seperate definition from .h
file's declaration is better idea.  Did anyone know how can I improve it
or on higher g++ version, it (g++) have added such feature?
  From book/internet/web discussion, I knew Comeau and intel(linux) c++
compiler did this years ago.  There is a link to advocate/promote such
feature.
  http://warp.povusers.org/programming/export_templates.html

like to see your new info/cooperate on this issue
sincerely, Eric

Hey Jorge,

I just had some time to sit down and review this thread - took a look at the
screen shots too - and my first reactions were quite impressed.  I'm not so
sold on having the old blurry lights image in the header, but upon looking
at more screenshots it started to fade into the background.  A few nitpicky
items do jump to mind: 1) The admin link should not be anywhere on the
site.  All the people who have access to the admin of the site, know how to
get there without the clickable link.  This just encourages attempted
security intrusions.  2)  Is there a usecase for a user profile page?  i.e.
who will have authority to create content on the site?  3) Can we see a few
screenshots outside of the admin login (i.e. a new blog post or story
without the edit links above)?

And one not-so nitpicky thing that could be a major thorn for us eventually;
the twitter feed - which is a great idea (I'm fine with just grabbing any
#ubuntustudio hashtag post) - inherently relies on a new drupal module being
loaded to the site.  Any new drupal module will need to undergo a full
scrutiny by Cannonical's web security team before their admins okay its
upload.  This means we need to decide upon which modules we'll need for this
web update/revamp sooner rather than later and get that process underway.

Nice work so far.  It does look like I'm going to have a free day every two
weeks or so (starting in about a month) to chime in more than I have been
and help with the implementation work.  Keep up the nice tweaks.

Re: Ubuntu Studio 11.10 UI discussion. GNOME3, Unity, XFCE and Studio users workflow.

2011-04-12 Thread Eric Hedekar
I for one, have spent the past ten years using the Gnome interface and feel
very comfortable in it.  So much so that I anticipate UI annoyances to drive
me away from Ubuntu if they stick with Ubiquity.  Sorry if that's a
rant/uncompromising attitude, I just wanted to share with the group my
honest and heartfelt feelings on the subject (and yes I have been giving
Ubiquity a steady test run over the last year or so).

XFCE does not seem like it has anything to offer other than old/reliable
code.  It's not even that much lighter than Gnome from what I understand
last time I looked into it.

Hey Brian,

You and I need to have a brief chat (maybe we should CC Scott L in the
process) about the current state of the Impact theme.  Is it ready to be
implemented into a full Drupal theme?  Do you have any experience creating a
Drupal theme?  As the artistic designer of the Impact theme are there any
final touches that you think need to be made to it? etc...

I have put myself forward as the guy who will work on a major portion of the
back end for this overhaul, but I have extremely limited time and have been
letting this slide too far.  I don't want to let it slide much further.
Though natty has no bearing on our site's progress (it'll be ready when it's
ready).

Soon source files of images, fonts, colours, etc... all need to be hammered
down to exact specs.

Re: Dependency problem between ubuntustudio-font-meta and ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3

 Hi,

 I utilize wine1.3 from Wine Team's PPA and have a dependency
 problembetween ubuntustudio-font-meta and ttf-symbol-replacement.

 In detail, please read my post to ubuntu-wine-team.
 https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+question/132189

 Of cource I'm sure that it's a user's own risk to use some packages from
 PPA. But the latest wine package is very useable with some windows
 binary of VST plugins. I daily use FeSTige for these plugins and it
 works fine with Wine1.3.

 So can we modify next ubuntustudio-font-meta package's dependency for
 both of ttf-symbol-replacement and ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.X? This
 may avoid making users confused.

Hi Takashi,

Uninstalling ttf-symbol-replacement will NOT remove all of the other fonts
in the font meta, nor will it remove the other packages in the graphics
meta, it will merely remove the empty meta packages themselves.  It is safe
to replace this at will.

Because ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.X is not in ubuntu's repositories but
rather in a non-Ubuntu-Studio related PPA I personally don't agree with the
requested change to the font-meta.  We should not be listing non-repository
packages in our metas unless the Ubuntu Studio team has a direct connection
to them.

This is obviously just my opinion, but because the conflict is a harmless
one anyways, I don't think there is much motivation to change the way things
are currently.  Sorry if this causes unnessecary stress or confusion.

 Hi,

 I translated Maverick's release note for Japanese users. I've already

 Then I have some questions.

 1. kernel flavour

 According to Alessio's message, we cannot use -lowlatency and -realtime
 for Maverick and I found there are no kernel packages for Maverick in
 his PPA.


 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2010-October/002695.html


 2. Audio group

 I think MusE needs for users to join in audio group. In my machine, I
 can't start MusE if I'm not in audio group.


 3. lv2 packages with question mark

 We can download and install both lv2vocoder and lv2-c++-tools.
 So there is no need with question mark.

 In my text, I added some notes in each parts. I want the administrator

for further clarification from others regarding point 2 before changing that

This happens intermittently and was ignored by me previously until several hours
ago I realized there are so many users out there affected by this, mostly Mac
users including me, and it looks Mac is vulnerable to this possibly
because of the
difference in the USB devices' descriptors.

Debugged this and came up with a simple fix (a most common error), yet I don't

deprecating libusb-0.1 in -M, yet this seems to be still useful for

 All,

 In an effort to create a better branding for Ubuntu Studio, which
 hopefully will also foster additional community involvement, we will be
 renaming the current forum at Ubuntu Forums that caters to Ubuntu Studio.
 The Ubuntu Forums admin have asked that we provide a new name and
 description.

 Currently, the name of the forum we use is Multimedia Production and its
 description is Discussions about Ubuntu Studio and other multimedia
 production applications. The name is used on the Ubuntu Forums home page
 under the Main Support Categories and the name and description can be viewed
 in the second gray box from the top on the Multimedia Production forum. See
 below for links:

 Ubuntu Forums main page - http://ubuntuforums.org/
 Multimedia Production page -
 http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335

 My suggestion would be to use Ubuntu Studio as the forum name and use
 the current description as noted above.

 Your input and suggestions are greatly encouraged and appreciated.


 I agree here, either this or Ubuntu Studio Support. If you look at the
 other main support categories, there ones with just the name, Ubuntu One
 Ubuntu Moblin Remix etc and then others with Support tagged on:
 System76 Support  Dell Ubuntu Support. As we seem to identify more with
 the former group, I would +1 Scotts idea of just Ubuntu Studio

 Jussi.


I agree with everyone as well.  Ubuntu Studio would be a great name
change.

 I  feel that the guiding principle is that information should be kept

 Start with one forum, we can always split it later when the traffic
 builds up. If the traffic is light, then it does no harm if users and
 devs are all fully aware of what is going on, in fact it's ideal.

 I'm assuming that the present Multimedia  Video and Multimedia
 Production forums will stay, as they field a lot of hardware
 questions which would totally swamp the Studio forum if they were
 combined with it.

 Fritz


I agree with your take on not splitting the forum (I think this would be a
bigger bureaucratic headache too), however from my understanding of Scott's
original proposal, Multimedia  Video is not a part of this discussion and
Multimedia Production is proposed to be changed to Ubuntu Studio.  The
two names are very similar and I've seen many posts in the wrong categories
because of this fact (another great argument to change the name of
Multimedia Production).

Re: Ubuntu Studio artwork question

 Hi,

 On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 5:38 AM, Louie Queral louiethecu...@gmail.comwrote:

 Honestly, I feel like the addition of an official Ubuntu Studio forum
 (preferably separate from the messiness of the ubuntu forums) would be the
 most efficient way to encourage involvement. The wiki's are great ways to
 display user contributed artwork and such, but in my opinion, it acts as
 more of a gallery rather than a station for discussion and further
 development.

 Forums are quick to set up, free, and easy to maintain. I can see our
 forum separated into different categories such as Development, Bugs,
 Troubleshooting etc. However, in regards to art, the forum should be divided
 into several subforums:

 -Logo Design
 -Theme/Icon Design
 -Website Design/Improvements

 Moderators will also stick threads that they feel are becoming popular, or
 increasingly productive. This kind of structure will allow artists to not
 only upload their work quickly and effectively, but also pass their work
 through a medium that offers a community of critics.

 Forgive me if I sound intrusive, but I envision the future of Ubuntu
 Studio as being a well-respected linux distro focused on multimedia
 creation. A distro that offers artists, musicians, animators, and directors
 the chance to create their work on an open-source platform that is stable,
 efficient, graphically appealing, and simple. We really have a chance here
 to continue developing something magnificent, and in order to do so, we need
 a more tightly knit community.

 I agree forums are all that, but as an officially recognised derivative of
 Ubuntu, we need to make use of officially sanctioned areas. this isnt to say
 we cannot have our own, but that if possible, we should work with existing
 facilities. Second, by utilising the part of Ubuntu forums we have been
 given, we gain access to a lot more viewers, and thus a lot more possible
 contributors. If a decision is made that we need more room in the forums, or
 a different structure, I  am well familiar with the members of the forums
 council and can do the necessary liason work to make it happen.

 If you have time, please join our IRC channel and feel free to have a chat
 to us in realtime about it there.


Jussi, I personally greatly agree with your take on forums.  Maintaining our
own seems silly at best - we would also need to deal with errors of general
ubuntu, beginners, etc... in our own forum and there are some excellent
users within the Multimedia Production section.  I do think that we could
use a different category/organization on ubuntuforums.org  as Multimedia
Production has very little branding of our project.  In my mind, the
question is: What forum sections should we ask for?

My personal opinion on that question is that Ubuntu Studio should become a
section similar to the Development and Programming section.  Within that,
there should be a sections on Audio, Video, Graphic Design, and Gallery.

It would be great if we could integrate the look of our forum sections with
our website, but I'm not sure how practical that is.

 Rakarrack [4], in contrast, released three new versions last year [5] and

 Although Rakarrack isn't currently in the Ubuntu repositories, Debian shows
 packaging for Rakarrack for both Sid and Squeeze [6] so hopefully we can
 sync easily enough.

 Dave Phillips even reviewed it in one of his Linux Journal articles [7].

 The next prudent steps would be to mail the Ubuntu Studio users mail list,

 expected.  If no one violently objects to persuing Rakarrack I will take

Ubuntu Studio Testers team on Launchpad

2009-11-09 Thread Eric Hedekar
Hi all,

This is an announcement about a new community team dedicated to testing
Ubuntu Studio.  We'd love your participation in this community.

It's clear that the testing portion of our development cycle needs more
manpower, and it's also one of the areas that has a low barrier for entry
for members.  It's quite easy to test Ubuntu Studio provided you're
comfortable running the development release and reporting bugs.  This
community will hopefully bring the people currently testing Ubuntu Studio
together, encourage more people to join and test Ubuntu Studio, and as a
result, make Ubuntu Studio rock solid.  We really do need your help with
this.

As a start for this community, we've created a Launchpad team at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-testers complete with a mailing list at
ubuntustudio-test...@lists.launchpad.net for the team to discuss anything
and everything releated to testing Ubuntu Studio.  Please join this
launchpad team and subscribe yourself to the mailing list.  As the community
grows we will surely evolve to have more communication channels, but for now
this is a great start.

If you're confident enough to run the development release of Ubuntu Studio
and report bugs you find, please sign up for this launchpad team.

Testing Team

2009-11-05 Thread Eric Hedekar
Cory suggested on IRC that I write a quick proposal on this and run it by
the list, so here goes (please offer any opinion you may have on the
matter):

I'd like to create an Ubuntu Studio Testers team on Launchpad.  The purpose
of this team would be to thoroughly test the development version of Ubuntu
Studio.  This team would help to solve a number of current testing
issues/problems, they include but are not limited to:
   - No/small testing community.  We currently only have a user and
development community structure.  This team would create belonging amongst
testers which would likely result in more active testing (I've received a
handful of direct e-mails re:testing Ubuntu Studio).  People would have to
actively remove themselves from the testing group to stop receiving
notifications  e-mails, rather than just forgetting about their commitment.
   - No formal communication channel for testers.  Currently testing results
are published to the entire ubuntu studio development or users mailing list
(inconsistent behavior) - there's no formal policy for how to report test
results (other than ISO test results).  This team would include a launchpad
mailing list that would allow for questions on testing, testing
coordination, discussion of test results, and subscription to the ISO build
notifier, all without overburdening either the users or dev mailing lists.
This would also allow for a larger number of testing requests without
annoying our user base.
   - Lack of organized testing.  We currently only have organized ISO
testing.  This team would be in charge of building a suite of tests for
Ubuntu Studio and ensuring that they are met across releases, this includes
notifying the developers should the tests fail.

I would imagine this team could be used to follow important bugs, create
testing scripts, and build wiki documentation on testing the software
shipped with Ubuntu Studio.
I'd be quite willing to create and lead this team, as well as announce it's
creation on the ubuntu studio mailing lists, qa mailing list, and bugsquad
mailing list.
Essentially I'd like to create a means for Ubuntu Studio testers to work
together more effectively.

I have just forwarded this e-mail along with a request for mirrors to the

admins of the mirrors, but hopefully people will understand.  On a side
note, you may want to just use the torrents for now as they will likely be
faster than direct cdimage.ubuntu.com downloads while that server is as
slammed as it is.  Torrents can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/

Hi,

I just received  this e-mail on the Ubuntu Studio mailing list, and thought
I'd pass it on to a wider audience in hopes of finding any admins of Ubuntu
mirrors that would be willing to also host the Ubuntu Studio images.  As we
all know cdimage.ubuntu.com is slammed (I'll refrain myself from vulgarities
in describing how slammed it is) and unfortunately that is the only place
(other than the torrents) where the Ubuntu Studio Karmic ISO is hosted.  So
this is a plea to anyone with a mirror to consider the option of hosting
Ubuntu Studio images.  It is a very popular (and official) derivative,
currently ranked 33 on distrowatch's page hit ranking (xubuntu is 31) and it
would be great to have the ISO directly accessible via web browser -
cdimage.ubuntu.com exists, but it takes forever to load if lucky enough to
have it load right now.  Thanks for your time.

Ubuntu Studio 9.10 Karmic Koala

2009-10-29 Thread Eric Hedekar
Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu, built
for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphics enthusiast or
professional.  http://www.ubuntustudio.org

The Ubuntu Studio team is proud to announce its sixth release: Ubuntu
Studio 9.10 Karmic Koala. With this release, which you can download
in a 1.4GB DVD, Ubuntu Studio offers a pre-made selection of packages,
targeted at audio producers, video producers and graphic designers.
Ubuntu Studio greatly simplifies the Linux-based multimedia workstation.

Downloads of the install DVD are available here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/9.10/release

For Ubuntu Studio 9.10 we have continued to grow our feature set,
update packages, and fix critical bugs to better the Ubuntu Studio
user experience.

We are happy to announce that the real time kernel will be an official
upstream release patch.  It will be installed by default if the audio
task is selected. We have tested it heavily and are very happy with it's
performance in audio environments.

Features/Improvements:

  * Official upstream RT kernel release (i.e. it's very stable)
  * Font meta package added to the graphics meta, which installs
literally hundreds of free fonts
  * Xwax (http://xwax.co.uk) and a2jmidid (http://home.gna.org/a2jmidid/)
packaged and added to the audio meta-package
  * Xjadeo (http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/) added to the video meta
  * Network tools like NetworkManager and Pidgin will be available on
the DVD disc repository but not installed by default
  * Firewire libraries are now upgraded to 2.0
  * MANY newer versions of applications (Ardour, Gimp, Blender,
Inkscape, Audacity, Kino, Scribus, Denemo, Hugin, etc...)
for exact versions please see: http://packages.ubuntu.com

See the Ubuntu release notes for other non Ubuntu Studio specific changes.

As our wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio states, our
aim is to make it more accessible for new users to get into the tools
that GNU/Linux has to offer for multimedia creation and production. We
also want to spotlight what's out there, and show users tools they
might not know to exist.

Thanks to all who helped in Ubuntu Studio 9.10's creation!

  First, my apologies because I originally only responded to Eric.  I am
  replying again, but this time to the list, but again via Gmail.  I hope
 it
  nests the messages correctly.
 
 
  I'm sorry that I have not been clear about this. I would think it would
 be
  advantageous to revisit the meeting schedule.
 
  I think moving the meetings ahead one day to Sunday would make them
  significantly more accessible to those in the U.S. Therefore, 1:00am
 Sunday
  morning would be better than 1:00am Monday morning and 1:00pm Sunday
  afternoon would be better than 1:00pm Monday afternoon for those that
 work
  in the US.
 


 I'll do a 1A.M. Sunday meeting.


 -Cory K.


Now that I check this against my schedule I realize I work at both 7am UTC
and 7pm UTC on Sundays so I would not be available during these proposed
meeting times.  I'd love to continue attending the meetings, but if I'm the
only one that this doesn't work for, then don't let me stop the group.

Karmic Koala Features?

2009-10-27 Thread Eric Hedekar
Hey Everyone,

Luis has asked me to head up writing the release notes for Karmic, so
I'm trying valiantly to recall all the great new features of Ubuntu
Studio this time around.  Can anyone point out features that are
missing from the below list:
- Official upstream RT kernel release (i.e. it's very stable)
- Font meta package added to the graphics meta
- Xwax and a2jmidid added to the audio meta
- Xjadeo added to the video meta
- Network tools like NetworkManager and Pidgin will be available on
the DVD disc repository but not installed by default
- Firewire stack is now upgraded to 2.0 (should this be mentioned?
what benefit does the end user see?  I'd like to elaborate a bit)
- Newer versions of many applications (Ardour, Gimp, Blender,
Inkscape, Audacity, Kino, Scribus, Denemo, Hugin, etc...)

What's missing?

 I started making progress on the wiki documentation.  I first looked at
 the three pages Eric mentioned on the Oct 12 meeting agenda
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Meetings/2009Oct12 .

 On Friday I updated the applications page on the wiki, there are still a
 few little things to complete.
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Applications

 To also complete the update of the application lists on the wiki I will
 also be addressing these pages in the near future:
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Audio
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Audio
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Video
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Notation

 I'm not fluent in all these apps but I can get update the applications
 listed and in some cases give the page _some_ text.  Others will need to
 update them also.

 During the weekend I also looked at the Installation and GettingStarted
 pages that Eric mentioned.

 Obviously, the installation page need some work but I felt that we
 should probably address installing the current and LTS versions of
 Ubuntu Studio and also upgrading from the current and the LTS version of
 Ubuntu only.  No point in telling people how to install/upgrade Feisty.
 Just my two cents.

 As I read the GettingStarted page I felt like this was a microcosm for
 the entire wiki.  By this I mean it's focus is diffused and lacked
 overall structure.  Yes, the page in a logical order, but the
 information about adding the -rt kernel should probably be on a upgrade
 from Ubuntu page.  Defining JACK and how to set it up should like wise
 be addressed on it's own pertinent and dedicated page.

 What this probably means is that the wiki pages would benefit from some
 restructuring.  Over this weekend I spent time mind mapping the wiki and
 hopefully by next weekend I will have mockups available on the wiki.
 Which leads me to my next question:

 Does anyone object to me making temporary new pages?

 For the time being it would be duplicate information (parsed out from
 existing pages and condensed) with some additional text/structure.  We
 would need to be able to delete some of those pages at a later date and
 I don't know who has rights.

 If I don't get any responses to the a new wiki structure and temporary
 duplicate pages I will take silence as acceptance.


 This has been needed for some time and I welcome your effort. Non-silent
 +1 from me. ;)


 -Cory K.



Non-silence from me as well. This effort of organization is LONG
overdue, thank you, thank you, thank you.  The Wiki really did grow
without any structure or guidance.  I'll try to give some time to
reviewing your changes - feel free to bounce ideas off me as well if
you're unsure of things.

As for the Upgrade/Installation page, both Feisty and Gutsy are no
longer officially supported so any materials for those anywhere on the
wiki can happily be deleted.  I also think the upgrade process doesn't
really need to be split into release versions, it did back when Ubuntu
Studio first started, but not any more, so those pages could be
combined into one.

Jack inclusion in Main

2009-08-24 Thread Eric Hedekar
In Bug #416778 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416778 ) Loïc Minier has
requested further public discussion on the subject of Jack Audio Server
http://jackaudio.org/ being included in the Main repositories.  I was told
this list would be the best place for that discussion.  I am also CCing the
ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com because the Ubuntu Studio team has been
the driving force behind this inclusion request and are extremely
knowledgeable in regards to JACK.

Here are a couple of my thoughts on the matter as to why Jack should be
included in Main.
- Many bugs have been filed against various audio servers currently in Main
(xine, alsa, portaudio, pulseaudio) requesting that the JACK
bridge/plugin/output/etc... be turned on or compiled into the package - this
is not possible without the inclusion of Jack in Main.  Bugs #152487,
#84900, #109659, and #360590 (this may not be a complete list, and
duplicates of most of these have been filed).
- The libffado drivers for firewire soundcards ( http://www.ffado.org ) are
only supported by the Jack driver.  This makes these common, pro, semi-pro,
and hobbyist audio cards inaccessible for most applications without the
previous audio server bridges/plugins/outputs to jack available.  Owners of
these cards must recompile major audio drivers in order to get basic Ubuntu
sound.
- Jack is an audio server designed specifically for professional reliable
audio signals.  This is not a duplicate server clogging up the audio mess,
which some people believe exists in Linux, it is a specialty tool for
musicians, audio engineers, and anyone using Linux for professional audio.
(In-fact if anything, allowing the aforementioned bugs to get fixed would
clean up a large chunk of the audio mess which some believe exists.  It
would at least stop a large segment of people from griping so loudly about
and attempting to remove PulseAudio.)

Please voice your opinion on the matter.

 Main (xine, alsa, portaudio, pulseaudio) requesting that the JACK
 bridge/plugin/output/etc... be turned on or compiled into the package
 - this is not possible without the inclusion of Jack in Main.  Bugs
 #152487, #84900, #109659, and #360590 (this may not be a complete
 list, and duplicates of most of these have been filed).
 - The libffado drivers for firewire soundcards ( http://www.ffado.org
 ) are only supported by the Jack driver.  This makes these common,
 pro, semi-pro, and hobbyist audio cards inaccessible for most
 applications without the previous audio server bridges/plugins/outputs
 to jack available.  Owners of these cards must recompile major audio
 drivers in order to get basic Ubuntu sound.
 - Jack is an audio server designed specifically for professional
 reliable audio signals.  This is not a duplicate server clogging up
 the audio mess, which some people believe exists in Linux, it is a
 specialty tool for musicians, audio engineers, and anyone using Linux
 for professional audio. (In-fact if anything, allowing the
 aforementioned bugs to get fixed would clean up a large chunk of the
 audio mess which some believe exists.  It would at least stop a
 large segment of people from griping so loudly about and attempting to
 remove PulseAudio.)

 Please voice your opinion on the matter.
 -Eric Hedekar


I agree with Eric. Inclusion of Jack in main will solve a lot of problem
with audio applications, sound servers, etc... Missing Jack in main is a
great problem too for packagers.

Re: Ubuntu Studio Art Manager

 I could contribute some things, but I don't know about being a art
 manager..

 If you could put together a package of the images of a complete package, it
 would give us something to play around with, and I'm sure someone could come
 up with some themes, but it's not clear where these bitmaps reside.  Also I
 could arrange to make blender blend files that would manage the compositing
 and texturing/lighting/rendering of the elements, which is something you can
 do with blender. You can run blender like a blackbox, providing input and
 generating output, I once wrangled and animation unattended from a Makefile.


 I think any single theme, is a bad idea.. IF it's going to be about
 creativity, it should permit a wide range of themes, and these should be
 community created.. That means the elements should be accessible and
 selective by the community, as what good is a creative operating system if
 the elements of the interface are not being created by it's creative users.


Hi Kiernan,

I'm glad to see you're interested in helping.  Just for your (and everyone
else's) knowledge, the entire Ubuntu Studio official graphics (and
everything else that makes Ubuntu Studio what it is) is located at
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev for everyone's perusal.
Specifically you'll find the ubuntustudio-look package here too:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-look/UbuntuStudio

Feel free to create a bzr branch of your own modifications to that package
at anytime, then a merge can be proposed and possibly approved to get your
changes into the official set.  Hope that helps clarify things.

Ubuntu Studio Art Manager

2009-08-17 Thread Eric Hedekar
Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to raise the subject of Art development and management within
Ubuntu Studio.  As many of you may know, Cory Kontros has stepped away from
the project for personal reasons and he had previously been spearheading the
art portion of Ubuntu Studio.  It's my opinion that Cory left us with a
great default art set, but if it's left to sit still, chances are our users
will find it stale soon enough.  That's why I'd like to put a call out for a
new art manager.  The ideal candidate will not be placed directly into this
position, she/he will have to show they deserve it.  However, they should
have knowledge of theming all aspects of the gnome desktop (including boot
splash and GDM).  Is anyone out there interested?  I think the first step is
to upload your work/modifications/etc... to either a new launchpad bzr or to
the user art page in the wiki.  Second step would be to talk to the dev team
in either #ubuntustudio-devel or on the development mailing list.

-Eric

Re: Addition(s) to the Video Meta package

2009-08-03 Thread Eric Hedekar
After looking into getting LiVES packaged for Ubuntu, it looks like it won't
happen unless there are changes made upstream (i.e. in the LiVES source
code).  The folder titled libOSC in the LiVES tarball contains files that
are under a non-free license.  These files will prevent any package from
being accepted into the Ubuntu archives and thus prevent it from being part
of Ubuntu Studio.  Sorry for the bad news, hopefully this can be changed
upstream in future releases.

Addition(s) to the Video Meta package

2009-07-27 Thread Eric Hedekar
Hi Everyone,

 I've seen a number of posts to the forums asking about live video
adjustment software, VJ software and the like.  There actually is a large
amount of this available for Linux but none in the Ubuntu Studio video meta
package.  Here's a quick list of what I've stumbled upon:

* FreeJ http://freej.org/ packaged:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=freej
* EffecTV http://effectv.sourceforge.net/  packaged:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=effectv
* frei0r plugins: http://www.piksel.org/frei0r packaged:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=frei0r-plugins  (more of a
library than a software package)
* GEM library for Pure Data http://gem.iem.at/ packaged:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gem
* PDvjtools http://artefacte.org/pd/ not packaged (yet)
* VeeJay http://www.veejayhq.net/not packaged (yet)
* Gephex http://www.gephex.org/  not packaged (yet)
* Lives  http://lives.sourceforge.net/   not packaged (yet)

Personally I think any one of these softwares would make a great addition to
the video meta package, but seeing as I'm not a video junkie I really am not
sure if they'll get used.  This e-mail is to judge public interest/support
for such an addition to the meta, and if it's positive, which of the above
(or possibly one I haven't listed) would be best?
Logically, adding one that's already in the repositories would be easiest
for Karmic, but if packaging wasn't a stumbling block I'd prefer to see
VeeJay added (purely based on the look of it's user interface).  The
libraries for Pure Data would also be nice additions since Pure Data is
already included in the audio meta.  FreeJ also looks good.  Thoughts?

 I agree that this is a good idea.  I also agree with Cory K. in that only
 the free fonts would be bundled.  And of course, those are the ones that
 should be used for paying gigs anyhow. :-)

As for that list of fonts, there are a number of traditional
japanese or other similar language-specific fonts that I noticed when
searching the other night.  Should these be included in the font meta
or should we stick to western lettered fonts (I know there's a proper
name for these)?

There are four levels of testing that I like to do:
1) does the install succeed? (with all the meta packages selected)
2) does the ensuing boot process succeed?
3) do all the essential features of Ubuntu Studio work  (Jack,

4) can I find any bugs in normal program usage?

 Hi all,

 Easiest way to do this is please put the times you are available using
 the following link:

Jussi, what's with the top-posting?  Cory might get angry.  But anyways,
I've registered my available times (unfortunately this weekend isn't very
good for me).  I will try to run some tests later this week (on non-rt jack
- both jaunty and karmic) to confirm/deny my need for RT.

Oh and if I happen to not be able to make the meeting time, put my name into
the hat for assisting with the website love.

 Hi guys
 Since I am in a similar timezone to just about all of you, I suggest we try
 and have a meeting either via skype or IRC to discuss what we want to do
 this cycle. Please reply to this message suggesting possible times, and I
 will see what suits me, since I am at UDS.

 Thanks

 Luke


I'm at -08:00 from UTC so I'd prefer something not too early, more like
evening time UTC.  Oh, and on a weekday.

Re: New application: jackpanel, how to contribute?

 Hi, I wrote a GNOME panel applet as a replacement
 for qjackctl:
 http://www.hans-baier.de/wordpress/jackpanel
 (depends on libprolooks: http://www.hans-baier.de/wordpress/libprolooks)
 I already debianized it, and I currently develop on
 Hardy. How can I contribute it / make it ready for the
 next release of ubuntustudio?

 Thanks,
 Hans


Hi Hans,

Your application looks interesting (haven't had time to give it an install
yet).  The first step after you've debianized it would be to also debianize
libprolooks (a little harder task).  Then you'll need to get both of them
accepted into the universe repositories (if you want them to eventually
become part of Ubuntu Studio).  The way you get a package accepted:
http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/  (here's a little howto:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU ) it also helps to prod motu
people in #ubuntu-motu for help on this (they're the guys who will
eventually okay your packages).  If you want it in Karmic Koala, the
deadline for acceptance is August 27th.
After it's in the repositories then Ubuntu Studio devs can consider it for
inclusion into the meta packages (I like the idea).  If that sounds like too
much work let us know and we may be able to attempt to package it through
REVU (though there's lots of packages on that wishlist).

Also, you might be interested in taking a look at LADITools:
http://www.marcochapeau.org/software/laditools they also have created an
applet for Jack use/control.

9.04 announce? website update?

2009-04-23 Thread Eric Hedekar
So the official 9.04 announcement went out a good seven+ hours ago, which
included a link to http://www.ubuntustudio.org/downloads however there have
been zero updates to the Ubuntu Studio webpage and that link directs people
to download 8.10

Is there a reason for the delayed Ubuntu Studio release?  I see images up at
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/9.04/release/ but I've yet
to see any links pointing people there, or release notes publicized.  Infact
the working release notes don't even publicize that link.

what gives?  we're so close to finishing the release cycle, let's not quit
an inch from the goal line.

-Eric
