[ubuntu-studio-users] Updates for January 2018

[Erich Eickmeyer]

  Updates for January 2018
  

The Ubuntu Studio team has been working on some exciting things since
the release of Ubuntu Studio 18.10 back in October, and we thought we
should update the community on these things.


Ubuntu Studio Installer

In the past, the “Ubuntu Studio Metapackage Installer” has served to
allow those that choose to install metapackages in Ubuntu Studio’s
default Xfce-based environment after installation if they elected not to
install those packages at install time. This will continue to exist, but
will also serve a secondary purpose.

One of the visions for Ubuntu Studio has been the ability for users of
other Ubuntu flavors to essentially “bolt-on” Ubuntu Studio to their
existing installation. This will be easily available for those users
beginning with Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo. It will be a 2-step process: 1)
install the “ubuntustudio-installer” package, and 2) Launch it and
select the features you want. It will allow you to install any of the
metapackages along with the “under-the-hood” performance tweaks that
Ubuntu Studio includes by default.


Application Updates

Most applications are getting updated to the latest version. One to
highlight will be the inclusion of Calf Studio Gear (Calf Plugins)
0.90.1 which includes many enhancements to the audio plugins, but also
fixes some compatibility issues.

Unfortuntely, a side-effect of an upstream packaging error in LMMS
exposing the calf-ladspa plugins to the rest of the system (which was
never intended by the developers or LMMS or Calf) is causing a conflict
when those plugins are loaded by other DAWs such as Ardour. As such, we
have had to temporarily remove LMMS from the daily Ubuntu Studio spins
until this problem, which was resolved upstream in Debian, makes its way
back downstream to Ubuntu.

Also coming will be bug fixes to Ubuntu Studio Controls with
improvements to settings persisting after reboot.


Ubuntu Studio on Reddit

The Ubuntu Studio subreddit has existed for some time, but recently our
core team has gained moderation privileges to be able to revitalize it
and create a community hub for our Ubuntu Studio community. If you’d
like to join in that conversation, please visit
https://reddit.com/r/ubuntustudio.


Ubuntu Studio in the Media

Our council chair, Erich Eickmeyer, was recently featured in an article
on Forbes talking about Ubuntu Studio. Check it out
!

Also, Erich appeared in a couple of podcasts, including This Week in
Linux 
and the Lorenzo’s Music Podcast
.
Erich has also been a long-time contributor to the LINUX Unplugged
 podcast and can be heard as part of the
“Virtual Linux User Group”


Want to contribute?

Currently, we are looking for people to come to the #ubuntustudio IRC
chatroom at irc.freenode.net and participate by helping people with
technical support. We get a lot of people asking for help at times when
our most active members, namely Erich and Len who live on the west coast
of the United States and Canada, are asleep. So, if you can help, that
would be wonderful.

Bear in mind that you don’t have to know everything, and if you don’t
know the answer to a question, you can direct the user to other places
to get help. If it’s related to the desktop environment, the folks in
#xubuntu can help if you don’t know the answer. For everything else,
there’s #ubuntu. For specific applications there is help by those
developers and communities.

puts icons on the desktop. Is there a way to turn that off? That's
odd. 

On the whisker menu, type and open the Desktop app > go to the third 
tab - icons > change your icon type (it's probably set on 'minimised 
application icons')
