Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a happy new year. I haven't been checking-in lately due to a number of things going on in my life. First, it was work getting busy, then it was a bit of depression onset by my resigning said position (they pretty much promised me that I wouldn't ever have room for advancement or promotion, or even being full-time).
With that, I thought I'd check-in to see where everyone is with their current projects. I, for one, have started-in on ubuntustudio-installer. I have moved it from bzr to git, and I'm going to be working on adding a few entries that will enable it to be used on other flavors for installation of Ubuntu Studio-specific items, namely the swappiness and lowlatency kernel default selection in GRUB. I already split-out the parts of ubuntustudio-default-settings to become their own sub-packages, so it should be relatively trivial. This should complete the goal of allowing other flavors to install the benefits of Ubuntu Studio while still keeping their chosen Desktop Environment. == Vision for a Beautiful Experience == As many of you know, I also forked Ubuntu MATE's GRUB theme to our own. I contacted Simon Quigley to get it into Universe (would be my first full package! \o/), so hopefully that will happen. He's got his hands full with Lubuntu, so we'll see. My thought behind theming GRUB is this: Ubuntu Studio is intended for artists of all kinds, and as such should provide a beautiful experience. I will concede that the notion of beauty is subjective. For this reason, I'm going to also look into the LightDM theme and see if there's anything we can learn from other flavors. Right now, Ubuntu MATE provides a nice LightDM theme, which I will explore forking into our own. The other thing, which I believe Thomas was working on, was changing our Plymouth boot theme. I'll admit, Plymouth quite over my head. Thomas, have you made any progress on this? == Calf & LMMS == Specifically, this goes out to Ross (with a little slice of Len on the side): We obviously had to remove LMMS for its dependency on calf-ladspa. That said, I have found out that calf-ladspa is a subpackage of LMMS and should never have been split-out in upstream Debian, that the calf-ladspa plugins are included with LMMS but were never intended to 1) be split-out, and 2) be enacted as a dependency. This seems like something that could be trivial to fix in the debian/control file for the lmms package. I'm wondering, Ross, if you could look into this? Here's a link to a thread for more context: https://github.com/calf-studio-gear/calf/issues/134 Well, that's what I've got this time. Would love to hear back from everyone! Erich
