[12:41] <k31th> robotgeek: i know a fair amount about samba 
[12:41] <k31th> how much detail would be required ?
[12:41] <k31th> i have setup samba as domain controllers  etc in the past. 
[12:41] <k31th> infact i admin a few atm 
[12:41] <robotgeek> k31th: i have no clue, talk to bhuvan (he's working on it)
[12:42] <k31th> oh he is.

[07:54] <robotgeek> ping
[08:04] <robitaille> hi Burgundavia 
[08:04] <jsgotangco> hrmmm
[08:06] <Burgundavia> salut robitaille 
[08:07] <robotgeek> hey jsgotangco Burgundavia 
[08:07] <jsgotangco> hey robotgeek 
[08:09] <Burgundavia> is there a meeting this friday that I am going to miss?
[08:10] <Burgundavia> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EquipeForunsUbuntu <-- we need something like this for the ubuntuforums stuff
[08:12] <robitaille> Burgundavia,  there is still that joint udsf/forum/docteam meeting planned for Friday.  But the last email to the list about it was saying that is current time was still tentative
[08:13] <jsgotangco> i will probably come on friday
[08:13] <jsgotangco> sabdfl will be here tommorow :/
[08:14] <robitaille> you're going to see him?
[08:14] <jsgotangco> yeah
[08:14] <jsgotangco> the hotel he's staying at is just an hour away
[08:14] <robitaille> that's great
[08:18] <Burgundavia_> grumble, internet connection is flaky
[08:21] <Burgundavia_> jsgotangco, why is it :/ that sabdfl is speaking tomorrow?
[08:21] <robitaille> must be because of the winds.  Friends of mine lost power earlier
[08:21] <Burgundavia_> work was really really flaky yesterday and today
[08:22] <Burgundavia_> like 5 minutes or less and then we would have to cycle power on the modem
[08:22] <jsgotangco> Burgundavia_, yeah
[08:23] <Burgundavia_> jsgotangco, baffled
[08:24] <jsgotangco> ?
[08:26] <Burgundavia_> ok, this is annoying
[08:27] <robitaille> power is flickering here.  I'll probably call it a night very soon
[08:27] <jsgotangco> bad winds?
[08:27] <Burgundavia_> yep
[08:28] <robitaille> it has been windy tonight.  50 to 70 km/h, so not that bad
[08:28] <Burgundavia_> and xchat is really stupid about flaky connections
[08:29] <Burgundavia_> robitaille, stronger than anything we have had recently, so bad for this area
[08:29] <robitaille> a nice little Victoria winter storm :)
[08:30] <robitaille> more power fluctuations, and I cannot access my servers at work; they must have lost power over there.
[08:30] <Burgundavia_> I wish I lived in the tropics (with bad internet, malaria, etc. )
[08:30] <Burgundavia_> hmm, might stay here
[08:31] <Burgundavia_> hmm, alleged goobuntu screenshots
[08:32] <Madpilot> Burgundavia_: nice wind, isn't it? :P
[08:32] <Madpilot> 23k at the harbour - bleh
[08:33] <robitaille> Burgundavia_,  where are the screenshots?
[08:34] <robotgeek> robitaille: slashdot :)
[08:34] <Burgundavia_> Madpilot, did anything get cancelled at the airport today?
[08:35] <Madpilot> corey__: no idea, but probably. Someone said the ferries were being cancelled.
[08:35] <corey__> website shows nothing
[08:35] <robitaille> robotgeek,  thanks.
[08:36] <corey__> good thing my alarm clock is battery
[08:38] <Madpilot> mine's not, but I don't work until 1400 tomorrow :P
[08:38] <robitaille> I have kids...no need for an alarm clock :)
[08:39] <jsgotangco> heh
[08:44] <Madpilot> corey__: when do you fly to Toronto? (was it Toronto? anyway...)
[08:44] <corey__> Madpilot, tomorrow morning
[08:45] <Madpilot> corey__: OK - have fun, the weather is supposed to be nicer there than here!
[08:49] <corey__> anybody seen rob stoffers in a while?
[08:50] <robotgeek> corey__: i think he came in the other  day (rob1), saying that he was busy
[08:51] <Madpilot> wow... Victoria airport reporting gusts up to 60+ km/h (34 knots)...
[09:02] <mdke> hi
[09:03] <robotgeek> hey mdke 
[09:03] <Madpilot> hi
[09:14] <mdke> what's all this about goobuntu?
[09:14] <mdke> i should subscribe to sounder again
[09:16] <robotgeek> just some register and slashdot and digg buzz, i think
[09:20] <corey__> there has been an official denial from Google
[09:26] <robotgeek> corey__: link?
[09:27] <corey__> http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8195986380.html
[09:28] <robotgeek> corey__: good work :)
[09:28] <corey__> there a bunch more
[09:28] <corey__> http://plod.popoever.com/upfiles/img/050902/googleOS.jpg
[09:28] <corey__> http://trippmd.com/uploaded_images/google-os_large-727216.jpg
[09:30] <Madpilot> if those are real, that's the ugliest f'ing desktop I've ever seen - worse than stock XP... 
[09:30] <corey__> indeed
[09:30] <robotgeek> :)
[09:30] <corey__> and the "build 1281" is very MSish
[09:30] <robotgeek> my poorly themed kde is better looking :)
[09:30] <Madpilot> the extra bubble bits along the tops of the windows is a KDE thing
[09:32] <corey__> the cool thing about the whole Google thing is there response
[09:33] <corey__> "Yes we use Ubuntu internally, but we have no intentions of providing a version called Goobuntu"
[09:33] <corey__> s/there/their
[09:33] <robotgeek> nice, use ubuntu, google uses it :)
[09:35] <k31th> Morning
[09:36] <corey__> morning, I guess nominally
[09:42] <corey__> bugger, this bitting my tongue is a hard thing
[09:43] <Madpilot> corey__: was that last line supposed to make some sort of sense?
[09:44] <corey__> one bits ones tongue when one is not supposed to reveal large and very cool projects one is working on
[09:46] <jsgotangco> heh
[09:46] <jsgotangco> its ok they're google
[09:47] <corey__> jsgotangco, I was more referring to myself, but anyway
[09:51] <corey__> hmm. socks + velcro + dryer = damaged socks
[09:52] <jsgotangco> anything mixed with velcro is bad
[10:05] <Kinnison> Burgundavia: oops
[10:05] <Burgundavia> Kinnison, hey, the sock is black. It won't show
[10:05] <Kinnison> the sodding things have 'R' and 'L' on them and I was wearing them wrong
[10:07] <robotgeek> i tht socks were universal?
[10:08] <Kinnison> apparently these fancy ones aren't
[10:08] <Kinnison> they're sports style socks to let your feet breathe
[10:13] <k31th>  Socks huh :D
[10:13] <k31th> Anyone read the latest BOFH ?
[10:14] <k31th> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/27/bofh_2006_episdoe_4/
[10:17] <Madpilot> k31th: evil as always - I like the BofH
[10:18] <k31th> yeah great stuff
[10:18] <Madpilot> http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20060129  <-- also good
[10:22] <k31th> yeahs 'ok
[10:22] <k31th> the BOGH just cracks me up
[10:22] <k31th> BOFH
[10:42] <jsgotangco> heh
[11:24] <jsgotangco> i gotta go
[11:24] <jsgotangco> later
[12:41] <k31th> yo
[03:37] <giftnudel> I have a question about the CategoryCleanup thing in the Wiki: What to do with the articles that have it? I mean what are the general things to look at when trying to get rid of it?
[03:38] <Belutz> jsgotangco :D
[03:39] <Belutz> jsgotangco, i met mark today
[03:40] <jjesse> stupid question as it relates to svn: i reloaded my laptop w/ dapper only, backed up my entire home directory to another pc first and then after i did the reinstall copied everything over, now when i do a svn commit its looking for my password
[03:40] <jjesse> i've copied my whole ubuntu-docs folder over before to another pc and have been able to commit w/o it asking for a password before, is there somtehing i'm missing?
[03:40] <jsgotangco> Belutz, oh awesome...i hope you had fun
[03:41] <jsgotangco> svn caches passwords i think (encrypted)
[03:41] <jsgotangco> esvn stores it in clear text however
[03:41] <jjesse> do i need to look for my .svn folder on my backup? and copy it back?
[03:41] <jsgotangco> not so sure
[03:41] <Belutz> jsgotangco, yup, they are going to manila tonight right?
[03:42] <jsgotangco> Belutz, yup meeting him early later
[03:43] <jsgotangco> Belutz, what are your impressions of mark after meeting him personally? :)
[03:52] <jsgotangco> Belutz, i hope it was a great experience for you
[05:09] <mdke> jjesse, maybe you didn't copy across the hidden files/directories
[05:10] <mdke> giftnudel, see the WikiGuide page
[05:13] <giftnudel> ok, i'll do that, thx
[06:19] <giftnudel> I hope this is a step in the right direction:  I reformatted https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LostPassword and hope it's better this way
[07:37] <jjesse> mgalvin: for vmplayer you don't need to create the file first in qemu and then convert it you can just do qemu-img create dapper.vmdk -f vmdk 3G 
[07:38] <jjesse> mgalvin: which would create a 3G file in the format for vmplayer named dapper
[07:38] <mgalvin> jjesse: oh neat, it can do it directly, sweet
[07:38] <mgalvin> good find :)
[07:39] <jjesse> thanks, i was !intenret at the time i was wokring on my vmplayer and just read the help :)
[09:27] <mdke> giftnudel, it would help if you send the link to the mailing list, that way we won't forget to check it out
[10:08] <giftnudel> mdke, hmm, I'll do that tomorrow, thx again
