Burgworkhey jsgotangco, Lord_Athur 02:03
jsgotangcohey Burgwork02:03
LaserJockhi guys02:04
jsgotangcohow's it going02:08
LaserJockI've been fighting with emacs all day :-)02:10
LaserJockrather, emacs+OS X02:10
LaserJockcause it worked just fine in Ubuntu02:10
BurgworkLaserJock, you are mad02:18
LaserJockyes I am. I wish I had an Ubuntu box at work02:18
jsgotangcoi thought emacs is shipped in OSX by default02:19
LaserJocksure02:19
LaserJockbut I wanted to add some stuff to it02:19
jsgotangcoso what's the issue? its the same keybindings though02:19
jsgotangcoahhh02:19
LaserJockgetting it to work right is another matter02:19
jsgotangcoits just a bunch of lua files to be added right?02:19
LaserJocklisp02:20
jsgotangcoargghhh yeah lisp my bad02:20
LaserJockanyway, I wanted to be able to do more stuff from CLI02:21
LaserJockand emacs seemed to be able to do what I wanted02:21
jsgotangcoyes02:21
LaserJockPIM, wiki, etc.02:21
jsgotangcodo you know planner mode02:21
LaserJockthat's what I'm trying to get to work02:21
jsgotangcolol you should ask sacha the current maintainer she's very very helpful and currently use OSX02:22
LaserJockin Ubuntu I just install planner-el and off I go02:22
jsgotangcoshe's a dear friend of mine02:22
LaserJockno such luck in OS X02:22
jsgotangcojust send her an email she'll give you tips on how to do that02:22
LaserJockreally? I feel like I know her well, I've been on her site all day02:22
LaserJock:-)02:22
jsgotangcoheh she's really nice when you get to meet her personally02:23
LaserJockI saw the site was .ph02:23
jsgotangcoyes she's a local here02:23
jsgotangcobut she's currntly in toronto02:23
jsgotangcodoing her masters02:23
jsgotangcoall of that website is done in emacs+emacswiki+plannermode02:24
Burgworkjust before I leave, I thought I would celebrate by showing a picture of beer: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/07/do_i_sense_a_fr.html02:25
jsgotangcoheh that's a good one02:26
LaserJockjsgotangco: yeah, it's really sweet how it's wikified, that's exactly what I was looking for02:28
LaserJocka CLI Tomboy ;-)02:28
jsgotangcowell yeah02:28
=== jsgotangco should use planner mode again
LaserJockthe learning curve is pretty steap though02:29
LaserJockI'm using a newer version that uses muse instead of emacs-wiki02:29
jsgotangcowell with just a few key bindings in your .emacs file you could create your own stuff02:29
LaserJockI'm working on it02:30
LaserJock:-)02:30
jsgotangcoyou can sync that if you want, im sure she'll appreciate it, she's been meaning to do that for the longest time but school got in her way02:33
jsgotangcoalthough its a really *tiny* package02:33
jsgotangco=)02:33
LaserJockwahoo, I got it to publish it to html in my ~/public_html :-)02:40
LaserJockhow cool02:40
jsgotangcoumm yeah that's emacswiki02:40
jsgotangcoyou can publish everyday until you have a month long journal/diary02:40
LaserJockit's this new muse thing instead of emacswiki02:41
LaserJocksupposedly it's better02:41
LaserJockI can publish to latex, xhtml, html, etc.02:41
LaserJockanway, this is pretty cool02:41
jsgotangcoahh02:41
LaserJockhah, it can do RSS 2.0 too02:42
jsgotangcohrmm how come dapper still comes with emacswiki02:42
LaserJockbecause the muse support is pretty new02:42
LaserJockfink has it I think02:43
LaserJocknot sure about debian02:43
LaserJockI know there is a debian repo for it02:43

highvoltageogra: please wake up. i have an idea that i'm excited about that i want to talk to you about.09:12
Yagisanhighvoltage: how are you today ?09:12
highvoltageYagisan: thirsty, but otherwise very good09:13
highvoltagealso hit the snooze butten more than 5 times this morning09:13
highvoltage(logt count after that)09:13
highvoltage*lost09:13
Yagisanhighvoltage: wish I could say the same :( I've got problems with my eyes09:14
YagisanI see red spots that don't exist09:14
highvoltagewhat's wrong?09:14
highvoltagethat's strange.09:14
highvoltagewhat causes that?09:14
Yagisanand the optometrist can't see anything wrong09:14
Yagisanso I'm off to the specialist on wednesday, and will be relived of $14709:15
Yagisanand I'm laying odds, that that won't know what's wrong either09:15
YagisanI also discovered I have 20/15 vision, and am slightly long sighted.09:16
Yagisanare the joys of being a guinea pig09:16
highvoltagehmmm. couldn't find anythin on google about it09:17
Yagisanme either09:18
Yagisanbut I assure you, I see those bright red spots09:18
highvoltagedo they stay at the same place? or move around?09:18
Yagisanthey move09:19
highvoltagehow big are they?09:19
Yagisancan be very annoying09:19
Yagisansmall. usually in clusters of 309:19
Yagisanever looked close at a tv09:19
highvoltageyep09:20
Yagisanat the coloured dots on the screen ?09:20
highvoltageyes09:20
Yagisanlooks somewhat like that09:20
=== highvoltage finds it tough to imagine
highvoltagewell, my advice for any medical problem is always: drink lots of water09:20
highvoltageit seems to help for everything09:21
YagisanI've had them for years, but it's increased recently. I mentioned it in passing to the optometrist and she was very concerned09:21
Yagisan1.5hrs if testing, and couldn't find a reason.09:21
highvoltageand there's no records of similar conditions?09:23
Yagisannot that they know of09:23

YagisanG'day cbx33. you missed the most fascinating discussion about how my eyes are stuffed09:27
cbx33I thought your eyes were extremely good?09:27
RichEdmorning all :)09:27
cbx33hey RichEd did you get the spreadshet09:28
RichEdhey highvoltage ... saw this comment ... can't find background [aah, so that explains why my suspend doesn't work. i thouhgt it was this new laptop]  explain if you have a moment09:29
highvoltagehey cbx33 09:29
highvoltagehi RichEd 09:30
highvoltageRichEd: i broke my suspend by using a fork of usplash that does high resolutions and other fancy stuff (like plaing video, etc)09:31
cbx33yikes Yagisan 09:31
cbx33hi highvoltage 09:31
highvoltageit breaks suspend because new bioses and display cards are basically junk.09:31
cbx33my eyes are screwed but for a totally different reason09:31
highvoltageand don't work like their supposed to.09:31
Yagisancbx33: nice isn't it o_O09:31
highvoltagewhen you use lower resolutions and colour depths, then the bios works like it should, and resets your display when you unsuspend.09:31
cbx33Yagisan: not really :p09:32
RichEdhighvoltage: okay :) was wondering where hibernate files are kept and wanted to read more ... any advice ?09:32
RichEdcbx33: yessir i sure did ... was up till past pumpkin time getting my notebook booting in Ed / Ub / Kub ... all sorted :) ... ready to dive into openoffice dos today09:32
crimsunwe suspend-to-disk in the primary swap.09:32
highvoltageRichEd: when you hibernate, your memory is stored in your swap partition09:33
highvoltageRichEd: when you suspend, it stays in RAM09:33
RichEdthanks highvoltage & crimsun ... so all 3 boots will share the same hibernate disk space, will clear & tidy on shutdown & reboot ... most excellent09:34
RichEdcbx33: openoffice docs not dos (doos :P)09:35
cbx33does that mean you can't hibernate all three at the same time?09:35
cbx33RichEd: ;p09:35
highvoltageRichEd: watch your language!09:35
cbx33highvoltage: he keeps doing that :p09:36
cbx33hehehe09:36
RichEdquick opinion ?? aim vs xchat <- pros / cons < need to make a decision for my standard IRC09:37
cbx33xchat09:37
cbx33would be my choice09:37
highvoltageirssi would be my choise09:37
highvoltage*choice09:37
cbx33heheh09:37
highvoltagexchat would be my second choice. I don't know about an aim IRC clien.09:38
RichEdat a first glance, aim does more than xchat no ? (aim is default install on my edubuntu, xchat is an option to fetch)09:38
RichEdaim looks like it has ICQ and other instant messenger stuff09:38
ograyeah its an instant messenger ... 09:39
YagisanI like gaim, but it needs more work for IRC09:39
ogranot really suited for irc imho09:39
Yagisaneg09:39
crimsunif you mean Gaim, yes, it handles multiple protocols. It's quite ... unintuitive for IRC, though.09:39
Yagisan /kick doesn't seem to work09:39
cbx33crimsun: totally09:39
ograhaha09:39
RichEdhighvoltage: pray extoll on the virtues of irssi ? (in a short concise sentence)09:39
ograhighvoltage, pong09:39
crimsunthe UI is /horrible/09:39
cbx33morning ogra 09:39
RichEdi'm using xchat for win right now ... and i quite like it's style09:40
cbx33RichEd: xchat is probably the most intutive09:40
cbx33imho09:40
Yagisanbut gaim does work on all protocols I need09:40
ogra++09:40
highvoltageRichEd: the nicest thing about irssi is you can run it in screen09:41
cbx33highvoltage: true09:41
RichEdmorning ogra ...09:41
highvoltageRichEd: so you don't have to exit your client when switching between kubuntu/xubuntu/ubuntu09:41
highvoltageyou can also run it remotely, which is handy when irc ports are firewalled, or if you disconnect from the network a lot09:42
cbx33edubuntu....you missed it off the list :p09:42
highvoltagemorning ogra09:42
cbx33brb09:42
highvoltagei actually meant kde/xfce/gnome :)09:42
crimsunI think the nicest thing about irssi running in screen is its proxy module so you can continue to use X-Chat to connect to your irssi proxy over an ssh tunnel without losing a step.09:42
RichEdhighvoltage: do you mean switching "interface" as opposed to rebooting into alternate os09:42
highvoltageogra: i have a bit of a radical idea for ltsp09:42
highvoltageogra: but it's so crazy it just might work (apologies for flintism)09:42
highvoltageRichEd: switching interface09:43
RichEdokay ... may chat to you about the later ... i've gone the 3 boot option09:43
RichEdanyway will install xchat in edubuntu for now .. and get going quickly & easily in an interface i am familiar with ... and check out the irssi later09:43
highvoltageogra: last night i was thinking about ways to make a diskless fat client better, and I thought that it might be completely redundant to have a seperate chroot for the clients09:43
highvoltageogra: so i thought, it might be better to export / to the nfs clients, and then use a free runlevel (such as runlevel 7) to boot the clients from09:44
ograindeed it is09:44
ogranah09:44
highvoltagethen, you solve a lot of problems09:44
highvoltagesuch as maintenance, and how to install software... even things like getting the session information and lagnuage packs are easier.09:45
ograjust add something to ltsp-client that makes it die if FAT_CLIENT is set ... so the booting goes on up to gdm09:45
highvoltageogra: ah, even better!09:45
highvoltageogra: but then I thought, is there then even a reason to have a think client chroot, because you could do the same for thin clients, but just run ldm instead of gdm?09:46
highvoltages/think/thin09:46
ograwell, ldm isnt really written for local logins09:46
highvoltageso the /opt/ltsp directory could then be entirely dropped, and ltsp would then just become a few scripts.09:46
highvoltageogra: i didn't mean for local logins, i menat for thin clients09:47
ograoh, you want to export / instead of /opt/ltsp09:47
highvoltage(sorry for my typos, extremely lagged here)09:47
highvoltageogra: yes. i understand that that could have its own problems too09:47
ograyup09:48
ograsome majore ones, like security :)09:48

highvoltagethat's what I thought too :(09:48
highvoltagebut there must be a way to get around it.09:48
ograhmm, no usplash on ppc live 09:48
ograhighvoltage, well i like the idea of having a distinct system thats tailored for the task 09:49
ograthe speedups i did wouldnt work in a real system for example09:49
ograboot speedup i mean09:49
highvoltagefor example?09:50
ograthe initscripts we dropped09:50
highvoltageyou could do that with a new runlevel.09:50
ograthats no option in a debian based system09:50

RichEdquestion posed by xchat channel: why make xchat-gnome default over xchat (via Synaptic search & install) ?11:41
ograwho does that ?11:44
RichEdogra: not sure what you mean ?11:45
ograwho makes xchat-gnome default over xchat ? 11:49
RichEdi was using Xchat on XP ... after our chat this morning, i wanted to install on Edubuntu, so opened Synaptics, searched for xchat & installed what was listed11:50
ograoh, you probably dont have universe enabled 11:50
RichEdhow do i do that ?11:50
=== ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089F9F9.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu
ogra_go into the add/remove applications tool from your menu 12:00
ogra_on the top right (at least in edgy) it has a selector12:00
ogra_select "all apps"12:00
ogra_then search for xchat12:00
ogra_RichEd, ^^^^^^^^^12:01
cbx33:D12:01
RichEddoing that now ...12:04
RichEdokay ... i need to select : show unsported applications and then i see: XChat IRC12:06
ogra_yep12:06
ogra_above xchat-gnome i think :)12:06
RichEdif i don't do that: i see"  XChat - GNOME IRC12:07
RichEdnope below !12:07
ogra_-gnome was moved to main, xchat was moved to universe, dont ask mwe why ...12:07
ogra_well, for me its above :)12:08
RichEdso if the average user is told : search for and install xchat ... they end up with Gnome version12:08
ogra_well, they end up with the version we support 12:08
RichEd(and then ask some misdirected interface questions in #xchat "why is this different to what I saw in XP yesterday") :)12:09
ogra_again, dont ask me why i'm a big opponent to xchat-gnome as well as i dont like the idea of abusing an IM client to do IRC12:09
ogra_but seb128 and the desktop team decided both of these ...12:09
RichEdbut i know we can't support all, and GNMOE looks a bit simpler for the new user12:09
ogra_it lacks a lot of features12:10
ogra_and i (as many other people ) find the UI unusable 12:10
RichEdyep ... that is the sort of question i was asking in #xchat = no right click whois display12:10
ograyup12:11
RichEdwas also goping to ask about alternate nicks in settings ...12:11
ograand you cant move the userlist to the other side for example 12:11
ograi find that very disturbing12:11
RichEdyou can't even show it ! unless you click on the button (transient window)12:11
ograthe topic ui is horrible 12:11
ograeither you cant read the topic or it eats all of your windowsize 12:12
RichEd... okay will install XChat ... and make notes for later suggestions ... 12:12
RichEdtx.12:12
ograi'd have goine for xchat in edubuntu ...12:12
ograbut not for xchat-gnome 12:12
ogra(we have some freedom what apps we select ;) )12:13
ogragoing for xchat wiould have meant that we'd have to support the same app with different UI twice ... so that wasnt an option 12:13
RichEdi'll boot to Ubuntu just now & see if the install behavior is the same (and Kubuntu) ...12:16

=== ogra ponders dropping kig and getting drgeo to main and into edubuntu ...
RichEdyes highvoltage : reasons as follows:12:20
RichEd(1) want to test all installs as they are released12:20
highvoltageogra: are you on the k12osn mailing list? some misguided soul posted edubuntu feedback there :)12:20
RichEd(2) want to learn the exact differences12:20
ograheh, no, i'm not :)12:20
=== jsgotangco just had a wonderful lunch with the head of one of the most powerful and influential non-profit foundation in the country regarding edubuntu
RichEd(3) want to learn the similarities of the underlying installs12:20
highvoltageRichEd: if you don't mind running non-free software, you could also use vmware to install it, which is very time consuming12:20
highvoltagei mean, time saving :)12:21
RichEdand want to be able to demo to others as they would experience it12:21
ograRichEd, apart from the desktop they are all identical12:21
jsgotangcoRichEd: i think we're in business here12:21

RichEdhighvoltage: i already noted your comments earlier, and JaneW explained some of this12:22
RichEdbut i am a 1st principles sort of a person ... learn from the gound up without any shortcuts before i undertstand them fully12:23
ograjsgotangco, me too ... i386 did make probs ... but i found out it simply doesn like the APIC of my turon CPU12:23
ogra*turion12:23
jsgotangcoi think the baseline is successful installation after all its just a bunch of syncs12:23
jsgotangcoright?12:23

jsgotangcothere isn't much edgy features in knot-1 except a bunch of new apps12:25
RichEd[ i always used to get moaned at in school for deriving theoroms in an exam instaed of learning them as given in class ]  :)12:25
RichEdjsgotangco: send me an email update if you have a chance ... is this related to yesterdays chat ?12:26
ograjsgotangco, yep, but there are things like only half written sources.list files etc ...12:27
jsgotangcoRichEd: nope this is bigger, i just had this a few weeks ago, but only had the chance to had lunch with the head today12:27
jsgotangcoRichEd: this is more tangible in a sense12:27
jsgotangcoRichEd: because its led by the foundation of the biggest media network here12:28
jsgotangcoim drafting an email later about it12:28
ograthats the countrywide thing ? 12:28

jsgotangcoi thought it just refers to the file name12:41
cbx33oh, did you mean to sync back to dapper?12:41
ograbut i didnt add an --distro option 12:41
cbx33no i didn't want that12:41
cbx33:p12:41
ograbecause that'd be uesless :)12:41
jsgotangcobecuase i used it and i was able to rsynch12:41
ograyep12:41
cbx33but as long as it' updated I'll fix up my gui for it12:42
jsgotangcoso it doesn't need an update :P12:42
jsgotangcobecause it works as is12:42
ograit was updated :)12:42
jsgotangcowhen?12:42
ograa week ago or so 12:42
jsgotangcoahh12:42
jsgotangcoim safe then12:42
cbx33:p12:42
jsgotangcowell going back12:43
jsgotangcotalking about ubuntu being spiritually clean was a bit weird though12:43
ograanyway, since its really dumb it only rsyncs what it finds under http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/daily/current/12:43
jsgotangcoyeah that's what i thought12:43
ograand there is no distro name in that url :)12:43
ograbut it assembles the iso names from the distro name ... so i had to adjust that12:44
cbx33yes12:44
cbx33I know :p12:44
jsgotangcobut if you already have an existing iso, it doesn't need an adjustment12:44
ograwell, it does12:44
jsgotangcobut you cannot use it to update a dapper iso to edgy12:45
jsgotangcocan you?12:45
ograedgy-install-amd64.iso12:45
ograthere is edgy in it :)12:45
jsgotangcobecause what i did was download edgy first, then rsync it using the script from the dailies12:45
ograit rsyncs $distro-$flavor-$arch.iso12:45
ograi copied the dapper isos and rsynced on top of that ...12:47
ogradidnt really give any advantage :)12:47
jsgotangcoheh12:49
jsgotangcowhat's the chance that this build is knot-112:50
jsgotangcohigh?12:50
jsgotangcobecause it iinstalls fine12:50
ogralook into your source.list :)12:50
ograwe'll have another (last) build12:51
RichEdjsgotangco: re the spiritual thing ... lovely comment ... that is the sort of thing we can use as a "real user quote" ...12:51
RichEdfits with the whole ubuntu meaning ...12:52
jsgotangcoi didnt think of it at all when she said that12:52
jsgotangcoso it was kind of interesting12:52
jsgotangcoRichEd: im writing an introductory email later12:52
jsgotangcoas we have discussed12:52
RichEdi'll make a note of it ... we can sure use that in the press ... once we have "cleansed her" and are ready to talk about success 12:53
RichEdjsgotangco: tx12:53
jsgotangco"proprietary os cleansing" lol12:54
jsgotangcoRichEd: have you seen the link i gave to ogra?12:54

highvoltagethe one guy I work with, Hilton, is also like that. when he's extremely happy or extremely unhappy or extremely anything, I have trouble taking him seriously, because he has these moods where he jumps from one mood to the other.

LaserJockRichEd: I thought she was Mrs. RichEd ;-)11:32
RichEdso have been with you all in spirit for a while ... now formally part of the team11:32
BurgworkRichEd, excellent. What are you doing for canonical?11:33
mhzRichEd: so you got a tattoo too?11:33
HedgeMageRichEd: in that case you must be cool :P11:33
ograBurgwork, if you would attend the meetings, you'd know :P11:33
RichEdsure mhz : i had to hold Mrs RichEd's hand while she got done11:33
RichEdBurgwork:  "Education Programme Manager" to be client & relationship facing11:34
Burgworkogra, some of us actually work11:34
mhzRichEd: however, my main concern is to encourage LAm people to start contributing actively instead of staying like end-users only. And the difficult part so far has been motivating teachers to jump in11:34
BurgworkRichEd, ah, cool11:34
Burgworkogra, ;)11:34
pygiHedgeMage: hey, yes I saw that11:34
pygiI am not sure I'd be able to attend once again11:35

crimsunmhz: what sort of [free]  workshops have you guys/gals held for said teachers?11:35
HedgeMagepygi: How've you been? I never see you any more?11:35
RichEdmhz: i do understand the where the teachers are coming from though ...11:35
mhzRichEd: but with all due respect, the one on JaneW looks sexy11:35
RichEdunderpaid, overworked, have to teach kids who know more about tech gadgets that they do11:35
RichEdhave to take more training themselves, look after school sports ...11:36
RichEdand fetch their own kids from school11:36
RichEdetc.11:36
pygiHedgeMage: I've been on a trip lately, haunting my hosting provider people, and stuff instead of contributing11:36
RichEdwhich is why we need to create compelling human factors11:36
HedgeMagepygi: ahh fun fun :)11:37
mhzRichEd: hmm, simply put, Edubuntu needs teachers (lab people). Teachers can help us build a community with edu contents.11:37
crimsunteaching is a 24/7 job. We literally get NO break.11:37
RichEdgive me a sec to type something neatly, and i will paste a good analagy11:37
pygiHedgeMage: I so hate hosting providers, why cant I just use my own servers for my needs? :P11:37
RichEd(from the business world)11:37
RichEdbrb ... 2 mins11:37
mhzcbx33: can you rephrase., please. I did not quite understand11:37
mhzcrimsun: you are a techer too?11:38
crimsunmhz: yes.11:38
ograpygi, use server housing with a machine you own ... not a vserver :)11:38
pygiogra: eh :)11:39
mhzcrimsun: have you seen my idea of Edubuntu-Study-Content? I have trouble in my head picturing if such idea is good enough to work on. Or I should just start promoting a similar idea via Exelarning11:39
crimsunlet's put it this way. Teachers don't have free weekends or nights, unlike some mobile calling plans ;-)11:39

RichEdmhz: see pvt window for paste flood ...11:43
mhzyeah, reading it11:44
HedgeMagepygi: true :)11:49
HedgeMagepygi: things are just going slow so since the last meeting fell apart when I got stuck on the army base I thought we'd try another round to make sure we're all on the same page... should be fairly quick.11:49
HedgeMagepygi: scheduled it for after the docteam meeting so if they have anything that effects us it can get mentioned11:50
HedgeMagethat's about it11:50
cbx33mhz, what did you not understand?11:50
Petarismy scroll wheel is not working as expected in edubuntu11:50

LaserJockHedgeMage and pygi: it would be cool if you came to the doc team meeting11:51
cbx33which question?11:52
HedgeMageLaserJock: planning to.11:52
HedgeMageLaserJock: that's why I waited to schedule the EH one11:52
pygiLaserJock: when would that be if I may ask?11:52
mhzcrimsun: http://www.exelearning.org/?q=about  |  http://www.exelearning.org/?q=screenshots11:52
LaserJockpygi: Friday 19:00 UTC, I believe. I'm thinking it will be in #ubuntu-doc since there is another meeting scheduled in #ubuntu-meeting at that time11:54
=== HedgeMage nods
HedgeMageLaserJock: yes, it conflicts with the marketing meeting11:55
mhzcrimsun: exelearning will give you Moodle and SCORM content11:55
crimsunmm, moodle.11:55
crimsunI remember that bugfix-from-hell11:56
pygiLaserJock: hm,oki11:56
pygiLaserJock: I am afraid that all I can promise atm is that I will try to attend 11:56
LaserJockthat's all I can ever do ;-)11:57
LaserJockbut this will be the doc team's Edgy planning meeting so it would be good to have somebody from the handbook team there11:57
pygiLaserJock: as I said, I'll try11:58
pygiand Susan will be there also probably11:58
