<txwikinger> Ahoy.. what is going on in Canada?
<BobJonkman> Ahoy!  Fog and rain in Waterloo.  Where are you, txwikinger?
<txwikinger> Hey BobJonkman: I am in Kitchener - home now
<txwikinger> was on Chickopee the whole day
<txwikinger> Started toget foggy and rainy after sunset
<BobJonkman> So, you know about fog and rain.  I thought you were out of the country from your question "What is going on in Canada?"
<txwikinger> Well.. I am only in one spot in Canada and Canada is huge :D
<txwikinger> but yes... the question was a little misleading :)
<BobJonkman> True.  There's no one definitive spot
<txwikinger> I am surprised at the lack of stores selling alpine ski equipment around here
<txwikinger> My boots broke ... first times I used them for 20 years.. so I guess the material lost its strength
<Symphoniiie> Salut
<dscassel> BobJonkman: I think I'm going to do the Ubuntu Hour on the second Wednesday again in Jan.
<dscassel> Things are very hectic right now. Next Wednesday seems too soon.
<BobJonkman> Suits me, I think.
<dscassel> Excellent. :)
<dscassel> txwikinger: You should come too. :)
<dscassel> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/613/detail/
<BobJonkman> OK, Ubuntu Google calendar updated: Waterloo Ubuntu Hour now on 12 January:  https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=bXY2OW5tY3Y0cWJ2cm1kYW9sdWhxZ2kzc3NfMjAxMTAxMDZUMDEwMDAwWiBtbGw1OGZybWxscmxsZmtzZ2QxMnQzaDdjc0Bn&ctz=America/New_York
<dscassel> I'll put the word out this weekend...
 * ZykoticK9 Wishes everyone a happy (and safe) New Year's Eve and all the best in 2011!

<BluesKaj> Hiyas all
#ubuntu-ca 2011-12-29
<BluesKaj> howdy folks
<bregma> had to light the second stove today, it's -20 outside and 5 inside
<bregma> needed the cookstove going anyway to make the traditional new-years tourtiere
<bregma> don't understand why the dog is so enthusiastic about going out for a walk, though
<DarwinSurvivor> bregma: was the dog still as enthusiastic after finding out it was even colder *outside*?
<pangolin> 5C in the house?
<pangolin> that is COLD
<dscassel> No indoor plumbing, I'm guessing?
#ubuntu-ca 2011-12-30

<BobJonkman> Apparently, Ubuntu 17.10 can corrupt your BIOS. Lenovo laptops are identified, but other makes/models are also affected.
<BobJonkman> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147
<lubotu1> Launchpad bug 1734147 in linux (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models" [Critical,Confirmed]
<BobJonkman> via https://gtalug.org/pipermail/talk/2017-December/005703.html
<diogenes_> BobJonkman, there's always huge troubles with lenovo laptops, earlier there was a problem with proprietary raid that you could not install linux at all
<diogenes_> now this bios
<diogenes_> lenovo just doesn't care about anything else than windows and I wouldn't recommend lenovo to anyone who intend to use linux on it

<willwh> hmm
<willwh> we 're running thinkpad's in the office
<willwh> not hardware form that list though
<willwh> but it sure does make me nervous :/
 * willwh waves to genii
<willwh> where is the coffee at? :D
<genii> In ma tummy!
 * genii makes a fresh pot and slides willwh a topped-up mug
<willwh> tyty
<willwh> I hope you're well sir
<willwh> it took me ~7 years, but finally working for a shop that runs linux infra, and all of the dev staff too......
<willwh> a dream come true ;)
<willwh> been here a month so far, and, it's amazing! :D
<willwh> i.e. servers, workstations, etc -> all debian based (yee haw)
<genii> Very nice!
<genii> I'm pretty sore from sleeping on my nephew's Boy Scout cot over Christmas and then shovelling snow and chipping ice today. But otherwise good :)
<genii> At least there's coffee, and later, beer.
<willwh> yes, yes, yes
<willwh> :D
