[12:20] <Burgwork> Madpilot, can you send me that .sla file for the vlug poster?
[12:36] <LaserJock> the wiki is alive!
[12:39] <Burgwork> salut jsgotangco 
[12:39] <jsgotangco> morning
[12:40] <jsgotangco> Burgundavia, have you tried the daily build lately?
[12:42] <hyperactivecrond> I can't make the meeting on friday...
[12:42] <Burgwork> jsgotangco, tried last nights. Either my burn failed or the daily failed
[12:42] <jsgotangco> no worries
[12:43] <hyperactivecrond> thx jsgotangco
[12:43] <jsgotangco> Burgwork, ahh ok so i won't install this then
[12:46] <Burgwork> jsgotangco, I suspect it was my burn, because it failed trying to unpack debs
[12:46] <jsgotangco> ok i'll try it then
[12:46] <jsgotangco> heh
[12:46] <jsgotangco> interestingly my gentoo install just finshed a few minutes ago
[12:48] <Burgwork> I have only tried RH 8, Ubuntu and the live cds of Suse 9.3 and Linspire
[12:48] <Burgwork> thats it
[12:49] <LaserJock> that's all the distros you've tried ever?
[12:50] <jsgotangco> try SuSE 10 you'll like it
[12:51] <Burgwork> LaserJock, yes
[12:52] <Burgwork> oh, I guess FC4 here at work
[12:52] <hyperactivecrond> bintoo looks promising if it wasn't 9 GB for a normal install...
[12:53] <Burgwork> hyperactivecrond, 9 GB???
[12:53] <jsgotangco> 9GB?
[12:53] <LaserJock> I think Gentoo and Ubuntu are the only distros I have kept for over a month
[12:54] <Burgwork> http://fossplanet.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=530&slide=5&title=bintoo+gnu/linux+0.1a+screenshots
[12:54] <LaserJock> actually the reason I found Ubuntu was I was looking for a binary Gentoo
[12:55] <hyperactivecrond> Burgwork and jsgotangco yes. 9GB
[12:55] <jsgotangco> damn
[12:55] <jsgotangco> bigger than vista
[12:55] <jsgotangco> heh
[12:55] <hyperactivecrond> NOTE: This release requires a 9 GB free drive to install, you should be sure to have that space avaliable or the installation won't success. 
[12:55] <hyperactivecrond> heh
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> the poll: what do u like?:
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> a lot of apps & Big System - 9 GB
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> some apps & small system - 5 GB
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> no apps i'll install it by hand - micro system 1GB
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> omg... /me slaps mIRC
[12:56] <jsgotangco> :P
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> btw we can't say 'free as in beer' anymore because they've created open-source beer... 
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> http://www.webaugur.com/bibliotheca/field_stock/os-airlines.html
[12:56] <hyperactivecrond> ^^ if os'es were airlines...
[12:57] <LaserJock> I remember being shocked at how little space Ubuntu took compared to Gentoo
[12:57] <jsgotangco> NOTE: This release requires a 9 GB free drive to install, you should be sure to have that space avaliable or the installation won't success. 
[12:58] <jsgotangco> nice english
[12:58] <bshumate> http://www.tradeshowhell.com/?q=penguinpiss ;-)
[12:59] <jsgotangco> Windows Air
[12:59] <jsgotangco> The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off.  After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.
[01:00] <bshumate> the installation won't success indeed! ;-)
[01:02] <hyperactivecrond> heh... did you know m$ writes the code for airplane navigation? lol that's why they crash
[01:03] <Burgwork> http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/003854.html
[01:03] <Burgwork> ^ randomly funny stuff
[01:04] <bshumate> Burgwork: oiny is definitely good for a chuckle!
[01:04] <jsgotangco> lol
[01:05] <jsgotangco> brb
[03:35] <Madpilot> hi all
[03:36] <Burgwork> salut Madpilot 
[03:37] <Burgwork> Madpilot, you coming to the vlug meeting tonight?
[03:38] <Burgwork> Madpilot, anyway, I have to catch a bus to get there. Maybe see you there
[03:38] <Madpilot> Burgwork: no, can't make the meeting - have a good time
[08:10] <robitaille> Madpilot:  congrats on the membership.  I was just reading the CC logs just now.  Too bad I missed it
[08:11] <Madpilot> robitaille: thanks
[08:52] <mdke> Madpilot, ditto, sorry I didn't notice you were up
[08:52] <Madpilot> mdke: no problem, it was actually an easier ride than I expected
[08:52] <Burgundavia> just had an interesting talk at VLUG: Linux in business, real use cases
[08:53] <Burgundavia> most people simply cannot see the big picture
[08:53] <Madpilot> the CC didn't have any business aside from new members, so I guess they were in a good mood :P
[08:53] <Madpilot> Burgundavia: that looked like an interesting topic for tonight - too bad my bike is out of action...
[08:54] <Burgundavia> there was a gentoo user who simply counldn't comprehend why first start wizard things are good things
[08:54] <Burgundavia> and why solving the 95% use case is a good thing
[08:55] <Madpilot> so you had lots of arguments and had fun? ;)
[08:55] <Burgundavia> yep
[08:57] <jsgotangco> wow i just listened to the new year ed of lug radio
[08:58] <jsgotangco> edubuntu was categorized as pointless
[08:58] <Burgundavia> why so?
[08:58] <mdke> i've only listened to one edition, but it struck me as pretty rubbish, to be honest
[08:59] <jsgotangco> yeah
[08:59] <Burgundavia> the first season was better
[08:59] <Madpilot> LugRadio is fun, but not to be taken too seriously, I think...
[08:59] <mdke> i didn't really find it amusing
[08:59] <jsgotangco> i dont find it informative at all
[08:59] <jsgotangco> its mostly ranting
[08:59] <mdke> even with the english sense of humour ;)
[09:00] <Burgundavia> jsgotangco, it is funnier if you understand english humour
[09:00] <jsgotangco> well i do understand a fair bit of english humour
[09:01] <mdke> Burgundavia, i'm not so sure about that
[09:01] <Burgundavia> but they do like to rant 
[09:01] <Burgundavia> jsgotangco, any reason why it was called pointless?
[09:02] <jsgotangco> oh they just made their own nominations for pointless projects for 2005
[09:02] <jsgotangco> grab the episode :)
[09:02] <mdke> man i hate this new firefox
[09:02] <Madpilot> ... the only nomination in their "Funniest moment of 2005" category was... their own program... 
[09:02] <jsgotangco> 1.5?
[09:02] <mdke> it is causing horrible bugs in yelp _and_ epiphany
[09:02] <Madpilot> http://www.lugradio.org/competitions/awards2005/
[09:03] <Madpilot> anyone know what's up with http://help.ubuntu.com?
[09:03] <jsgotangco> heh biggest letdown candidate
[09:04] <mdke> Madpilot, it is slow
[09:05] <mdke> Madpilot, or alternatively, down
[09:05] <mdke> fuck

[09:06] <jsgotangco> its like that too yesterdady
[09:06] <mdke> jsgotangco, yesterday it was pingable
[09:06] <mdke> today it is down
[09:06] <mdke> i'll mail henrik
[09:06] <jsgotangco> this is the serverpronto right?
[09:06] <mdke> yes, POS
[09:07] <jsgotangco> ahh even ours doesn't work
[09:07] <mdke> ours?
[09:07] <jsgotangco> (ubuntu-ph.org)
[09:08] <Madpilot> ubuntu-ca.org works...
[09:08] <mdke> oh, i thought that was on smurf's server
[09:08] <jsgotangco> mdke, we just moved a week ago
[09:08] <mdke> looks like serverpronto.com is down too
[09:09] <mdke> jsgotangco, to your own one??
[09:09] <Burgundavia> Madpilot, it is just a redirect
[09:09] <jsgotangco> mdke, that's a canonical sponsored serverpronto that can still be shared to other teams
[09:09] <mdke> yeah
[09:09] <mdke> -> work

[09:10] <Madpilot> ... also down...
[09:11] <mdke> Madpilot, the website of the provider is down too, likely it is their problem
[09:11] <mdke> Madpilot, doc and help are on the same machine
[09:11] <Madpilot> ah - wasn't sure who was hosted where
[09:11] <mdke> same ip ;)
[09:12] <jsgotangco> wtf is that intentional
[09:12] <jsgotangco> $80.86
[09:15] <Burgundavia> jsgotangco, can't be, it is share price
[09:15] <Madpilot> manipulating your share price gets you in serious sh*t
[09:15] <Madpilot> even if you're doing it for art's sake :D
[09:16] <Burgundavia> region madness "A second batch of DVDs arrived last weekend, but could not be viewed as they were coded for North America only."

[09:45] <Madpilot> odd - my own wiki homepage shows up in CategoryCleanup, and AFAIK it's never even been in that category at all... :P
[10:38] <jsgotangco> bshumate, ping?
[02:17] <hawking> anyone who has tried 2.6.15 in ubuntu?
[06:07] <mdke>  [08:45:09]  < Madpilot> odd - my own wiki homepage shows up in CategoryCleanup, and AFAIK it's never even been in that category at all... :P
[06:07] <mdke> Madpilot, "I've helped clean up the printer sections, and tried to reduce the length of the CategoryCleanup list a bit"
[06:10] <mdke> it's just a FullSearch on that word
[11:32] <hawking> I want to remove a corrupt package but neither apt-get nor aptitude can remove it what should i do?
[11:33] <LaserJock> hawking: you can try sudo dpkg -r but you might want to try asking over in #ubuntu
[11:33] <hawking> dpkg -r doesn't work either
[11:37] <LaserJock> hawking: I'm not sure what to tell you then, what is dpkg-r giving you?
[11:38] <mdke_> hawking, #ubuntu may be able to help
[11:38] <hawking> ok
[11:38] <mdke_> you'll need to give them the error message
