I remember that we had urxvt 18:54:04 ok, should be fixed by adding i3-config-fedora to comps 18:54:16 I'll do that in a minute 18:54:36 odilhao: you'll get urxvt via i3-config, it recommends it 18:55:27 So, my last meeting point is: Are we happy with our i3 Spin. I'm very very happy 18:56:06 Most' critics have been good, because most power users have their own configs. I think we need to improve in the non-power-user land 18:56:30 And that's where the welcome app will become vital 18:56:32 yeah, we need to gather more feedback and be better at outreach 18:57:15 Agreed, I usually go to reddit and look for stuff in YouTube, but need to do more research and improve there 18:57:56 I'm really happy, It's amazing to just get the ISO install the minimal packages, import my dotfiles and everything is working 18:58:37 can we reach out to our marketting group to get help? 18:59:36 I'll try to push the welcome app higher up my priority list, but lately I've become very burned out on tech, so please bear with me if it takes aaaages 19:00:47 It depends 19:01:08 There is no marketing group, maybe mindshare and social-media 19:02:10 social-media thens 19:02:18 * social-media then? 19:02:53 Sure 19:03:41 guys, I need to wrap up 19:04:21 would it be ok if I send the summary on the list and we schedule another meeting this year? 19:05:03 defolos, +1 19:06:30 * defolos goes to take a shower then 19:10:10 +1 19:10:22 #endmeeting 20:14:35 208 20:14:35 2208 20:14:54 2X08 20:15:12 22O8 20:17:00 0144 20:17:02 How do I install to my hard drive 20:17:02 please 20:36:46 I'm not sure to understand, but if you already boot the i3 Spin ISO, you need to press your meta key (It should be "Windows" key or "Alt" key, depending on how you answer the first screen question)= 20:37:33 yeah I have the spin on my usb stick but how do I install it to my hard drive 20:37:52 Meta key + D and write "liveinst" 20:38:19 telegram_1999665: can you boot from it? 20:38:19 yes 20:38:42 telegram_1999665: then do as x3mboy says 20:38:56 ok 20:39:02 once it has booted: press meta + d, type liveinst and proceed with the installation 20:39:15 meta is either alt or win/super 05:29:20 5559 07:19:25 Welcome @jhonesto 15:29:02 "Welcome @jhonesto" <- Thanks Dan 15:30:13 Can you guys please help me?...
