whiprushor do you want some fast food thing?04:26
Burgundaviayep04:26
lotusleafBurgundavia: hi, yes, yesterday or the day before.. regarding a post on the marketing mailing list, but I caught up with Madpilot in here followed by jenda which solved an issue on the doc. area of ubuntu.com with one directory04:26
Burgundaviano, trying to get out in 4:30 minutes, midnight my time04:26
Burgundavialotusleaf: want to help us write the UWN?04:26
lotusleafBurgundavia: thanks for following up though =)04:26
lotusleafBurgundavia: Ubuntu World News? :)04:27
BurgundaviaI always try and satisfy04:27
Burgundaviawe are up at gobby.ubuntu.com04:27
lotusleafBurgundavia: that would be awesome! :) It looks nice, are you going to retain the fridge logo though at top-left or go with something different to differentiate from the fridge page?04:29
Burgundaviano, that is where we are editing it04:29
Burgundaviagobby is a collaborative editor04:29
lotusleafBurgundavia: so gobby is the hard hat area that goes into fridge, or.. ?04:30
tonyyarussoBurgundavia: I doubt it.  I have a Quantum problem set due Friday :(04:30
Burgundaviaright04:30
tonyyarussoWhen were you hoping to publish?04:31
Burgundavialotusleaf: no, the UWN is merely posted to the fridge04:31

Burgundaviaand that gobby server merely shares a server with the fridge04:31
lotusleafBurgundavia: I see, well I'd love to be of help, and thanks for the generous offer, but I don't know how I'd scoop any Ubuntu related up news faster than you guys are able to do it? :)04:31
tonyyarussoGrr.  Don't think I'll be much help then, unless a miracle occurs.04:31
Burgundavialotusleaf: we are writing the UWN for the past two weeks, from the 29th to the 4th04:32
Burgundavialotusleaf: I need somebody to write up a short piece on all the various Edgy reviews, including the slashdot "edgy nightmare" on04:32
Burgundaviahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobby04:32
Burgundaviaby short, I mean two paragraphs04:32
lotusleafBurgundavia: have you collected the urls to various Edgy reviews?04:34
Burgundavianot really04:34
Burgundaviathey are not hard to find04:34
lotusleaftrue04:34
lotusleafwhy address the /. "edgy nightmare" piece?04:35
whiprushwhy not04:35
whiprushgood, bad ..04:35
lotusleafwhiprush: why drag it out?04:35
Burgundaviawe cover the news, not create it04:36
whiprushbecause if people have issues then hiding them doesn't fix anything.04:36
Burgundaviapart of that news included people having issues with Ubuntu04:36
Burgundaviawe are not FOX news04:36
lotusleaflol04:36
lotusleafI see your points04:37
lotusleafso you want a gentle piece without bias04:37
BurgundaviaI would group the reviews04:38
Burgundaviapositive and then negatvie04:38
Burgundaviafor the negative, mention how we address them04:38
lotusleafso, if taking the edgy reviews like a carton of eggs, you'd pluck out the good and bad and compare with real information04:38
lotusleafright04:39
Burgundaviamaybe right up a little piece about upgrading as well04:39
Burgundavialink to henos and keybuks blog posts, the new updater spec, et.c04:39
lotusleafBurgundavia: you mean you guys haven't tapped the deep well of Ars Technica already for talent?04:40
Burgundaviawe have, we have whiprush04:40

=== whiprush flicks off a middle finger while he types.
lotusleaf:P04:42
lotusleafBurgundavia: I don't know that *I* would be the right choice to tackle the subject you're looking to have someone cover, I don't know all the ins and outs of ubuntu devel to counter a lot of the reviews and information on specifics, some of them dive into detail04:43
lotusleafI'm a simple link diver :)04:43
Burgundaviayou are already qualified as the rest of us04:43
Burgundaviaand you have something I currently don't have: time04:44
lotusleafcollecting and swimming in links, like scrooge mcduck in his money bin, is something I can do04:44
BurgundaviaEven one line about the general gist of the interview with a link for each is fine04:44
lotusleafBurgundavia: ok, would you like me to gather as many reviews of edgy as I can?04:44
whiprushBurgundavia: who approves specs? the tech board?04:44
whiprushthe final authority I mean04:45
Burgundaviathe approver04:45
Burgundaviawho is assigned by MDZ04:45
whiprushok04:45
lotusleafBurgundavia: if that's what you're looking for, I can get started in a few minutes.04:48
Burgundaviaperfect, thanks04:48
lotusleafBurgundavia: as for the compare/contrast wrap-up to forge a paragraph or two from, someone else may want to do that for the sake of clarity.04:48

Burgundaviano worries, I expected it to be long05:03
whiprushyou know what they say, write 100 pages and there's a chance 2 of them will not suck.05:03

elkbuntuwooh... wha? are we still this far behind?07:29
whiprush"Although Canonical claims that Upstart is significantly faster than init, Ars Linux users don't find that claim convincing, saying that despite Upstart's greater potential in the long term, it still doesn't provide superior performance in this release"07:29
whiprushwhat the hell dude07:29
segphaultI added that because you told me to07:29
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: only two weeks07:29
whiprushthat07:29
whiprush's not righ07:29
whiprushand now I can't type.07:29
Burgundaviano it isn't07:29
whiprushdude, lol.07:29
elkbuntuBurgundavia, as opposed to.. two weeks?07:30
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: this is a double issue07:30
whiprushI said "People are claiming that upstart is supposed to be faster than init, don't fall into that trap."07:30
whiprushor some such.07:30
elkbuntuit is? cool07:30
lotusleafwhiprush: was that one of the snippets I quoted? If so, I just quoted from the articles07:30
whiprushlotusleaf: yeah, I have the upstream author handy so I just pinged him. :D07:30
lotusleaflol07:31
imbrandonin scotts words " upstart has the potential to be faster but thats just a side effect and is not the intent of upstart, and certainly not the case at the moment"07:31
lotusleafwhiprush: remember, none of the quotes were my words!07:31
imbrandonwhiprush: ^^07:31
whiprushimbrandon: I know what scott said!07:31
lotusleafwhiprush: ah in irc.arstechnica #linux ?07:31
imbrandonhehe07:31
whiprushI apparently miscommunicated this to segphault07:31
whiprushending up with this bogus line.07:31
segphaultwhiprush: Oct 26 07:26:51 <jorge> segphault: if you end up doing an ubuntu story, upstart isn't faster than normal innit (yet).07:31
segphaultwhiprush: I have quotes from canonical where they literally say it is faster07:32
whiprushyeah, that's correct.07:32
whiprushhmmm, who said that?07:33
whiprushwe need to fix them. :p07:33
Burgundaviawhiprush: for now, please report the news07:33
whiprushsegphault: find me a more choice quote to your article, so we can just sidestep this.07:33
Burgundaviayou can FOX news it later07:34
whiprushBurgundavia: thanks!07:34
whiprush..07:34
Burgundaviaheh07:34
imbrandonbwhahaha who added "In the "I have used $app since 1980 " thats fskin classic07:35
=== Burgundavia bows
segphaultwhiprush: "Ubuntu 6.10, which includes the freshly released Firefox 2.0, sports the new Tangerine theme, designed to improve visual integration of the browser by making it better conform to Ubuntu's style. Other visual improvements are featured as well, including a new USplash startup screen that will provide better support for a wider range of resolutions."07:35
whiprushnow that's more like it, thanks!07:35
segphaultwhiprush: from the official Ubuntu press release: "Upstart, a replacement start-up manager offering a cleaner design, eye-catching effects and a substantially faster boot time"07:36
segphaultwhiprush: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/610released07:36
Burgundaviaimbrandon: have you got Kubuntu uploads? remember it is only covering oct 29th through the 11th of nov07:36
whiprushhmmm, shitty07:37
whiprushmost of those improvements were probably due to moving to dash07:38
whiprushoh well.07:38
segphaultwho writes the press releases for Ubuntu?07:38
Burgundaviacanonical07:38
imbrandonyea i'm writing about amarok and kde 3.5.5a now07:38
imbrandonBurgundavia: ^07:38
Burgundaviaprobably the new person07:38
whiprushindeed.07:38
whiprushthey should really flesh that shit out during beta.07:38
imbrandonamarok got mtp and rio support this week07:38
whiprushinstead of going for the day-of thing07:38
whiprushlotusleaf: dude did you purposely pick all the negative reviews for this list? :)07:39
imbrandonLOL07:39
lotusleafwhiprush: I didn't pick, I just cut and paste quick for Burgundavia07:39
lotusleafwhiprush: I'm on dialup and just grabbed a few07:40
lotusleafwhiprush: I didn't do any sorting07:40
whiprushheh, k07:40
segphaultI think edgy failed to live up to over-inflated expectations07:40
whiprushreading through these is really frustrating.07:40
segphaultit's hard to be really enamored with the edgy release07:41
lotusleafwhiprush: sorry, I didn't pick and choose anything, I was just asked to find some reviews ;) I'm sure there are a lot of others I missed, but my eyes were bleeding from poor web designs07:41
whiprushI've had no problems with edgy for my users.07:41
whiprushlotusleaf: not blaming you, I appreciate the time you put into this.07:41
whiprushjust frustrated with the results.07:41
segphaultI'm not saying that there is anything wrong with it, it just isn't a huge leap forward07:41
lotusleafwhiprush: how much time do you have for this?07:42
whiprushsegphault: 6 month cycle dude, that's a feature.07:42
whiprushlotusleaf: I have 4 beers left.07:42
lotusleafwhiprush: I'm sure a good 2 or 3 people could do a quick link search for others (heh)07:42
whiprushextrapolate from there.07:42
segphaulthow do you write a really excited review about minor aesthetic changes and infrastructure improvements that aren't user-visible07:42
whiprushsegphault: dude try writing gnome reviews.07:42
whiprush6 months is fast.07:42
segphaultoh I know. Same problem07:42
segphaultit's just that shuttleworth really talked up edgy and made it sound like it was going to be an exciting release07:42
whiprushyeah well07:43
lotusleaffrom what I've seen, a lot of people like it and love dapper, I guess a lot of ppl were hoping for insta-3d desktops and expected edgy to launch them into space or something07:43
whiprushhe's not allowed to do that anymore I don't think. :D07:43
segphaultI think he genuinely believed that compositing stuff would be ready for edgy07:43
imbrandonok Burgundavia look over my "new in feisty this week" please for kubuntu, i'm moving to another section07:43
tonyyarussoI expected more from Edgy, even if not compositing.  I'm not sure what exactly, but it was hyped up more than it was capable of in the compressed cycle.07:44
segphaultyeah07:44
imbrandonok whiprush ^^07:44
Burgundaviaimbrandon: will do07:44
imbrandons/ok/or07:44
whiprushI think the problem is that in the past ubuntu attracted existing debian/linux users, who know how to use dpkg and apt .. now we're into a whole new class of users cutting and pasting things from the forums and blowing stuff up.07:44
tonyyarussoRealistically it sounds like Feisty+1 will be when we get excitement, with X 7.3 etc07:44
whiprushespecially with the compiz seperate repository stuff.07:45
tonyyarussowhiprush: Also very true.  Back when the last study was done, very few Ubuntu users said it was their first Linux.  I'll bet money when Melissa releases her results we'll see something very different.07:45
whiprush"LOL I replaced half my X with some repo, and now edgy is broken."07:45
whiprushwe saw that coming from _2_ miles away.07:46
imbrandononly 2? your blind07:46
imbrandon:)07:46
whiprushimbrandon: the expression is "I saw that coming from a mile away."07:46
imbrandonhehe07:46
whiprushso saying 2 miles makes it more important. :p07:46
imbrandonright on, i was just joshin ya07:46
whiprushbut yeah, sabdfl kind of strongly hinted that the bling was coming in edgy.07:47
lotusleafwhiprush: one user told me they did a netstat and saw hundreds of connections to different addresses @ port 6667-6669. I asked him if he had installed anything different lately, he said "yeah I added more places to get software from from a website with a different language"07:47
whiprushdid you guys see that story?07:47
whiprushsome dude with a repo07:47
whiprushchanged the wallpaper07:47
imbrandonhahahaha lotusleaf07:47
whiprushto be like "installing things from 3rd party repos is bad"07:48
tonyyarusso6667..what is that?07:48
imbrandonwhiprush: yea i know the guy personaly07:48
whiprushit was on planet debian07:48
imbrandontonyyarusso: irc07:48
whiprushimbrandon: I applaud his effort.07:48
tonyyarussoright07:48
whiprushfor better or worse.07:48
lotusleafwhiprush: yeah that was on planet ubuntu too I think07:48
tonyyarussoI knew it was familiar07:48
imbrandonwhiprush: as did all the ubuntu devs in -devel ( it was _ion that hangs out in -devel )07:48
whiprushoh, lol.07:49
imbrandonhe even gave out the source for the package for others to use if they wanted :)07:49
whiprushwhat's sad07:49
whiprushis someday, someone will burn alot of users.07:49
lotusleafthe only 3rd party repo I use is the one for wine listed @ winehq, and even then I don't like the fact that I haven't seen a key posted anywhere for that repo, oh well07:49
whiprushand it will end up being ubuntu's fault anyway.07:49
whiprushanyway, back to working07:49
imbrandonwhiprush: yea i think thats why more walpapers like that are neeed07:49
imbrandonyup me too07:49

imbrandon01:05 < Riddell> imbrandon: and say what rocking specs we have08:06
imbrandon01:05 < Riddell> vizzzion.org08:07
imbrandonumm it was drasticly changed in edgy, and we reverted to the normal dapper ( and pre-dapper ) way08:07
whiprushBurgundavia: I would feel more comfortable if one of the devs would proofread the spec section I wrote.08:07
imbrandonwhiprush: ^08:07
whiprushimbrandon: I need you to explain the how the feature works.08:08
whiprushas it reads now, you need to know KDE intimately to know what you're trying to say.08:08
imbrandonthe root filesystem in edgy was hidden from the user, by revolt of the cumminty that was undone08:08
whiprushah k08:08
whiprushwait, so you guys added / to .hidden?08:09
imbrandonno we added a .hidden file to /08:09
imbrandonbut yea same idea08:09
whiprushhardcore.08:09
imbrandon:)08:09
whiprush / is pretty hard to find in gnome.08:09
imbrandonits really in the users best intrest but the old skool p33pz dident see it that way08:10
whiprushyeah08:10
whiprushI hear ya08:10
whiprushI hear that argument all the time.08:10
imbrandonand in reality gnome has supported it in all 2.X but nooo that wouldent make it right :)08:10
imbrandon<sarcasim>08:10
whiprushI don't see why users need to learn the unix filesystem, but that's best argued over beers.08:11
imbrandonanyhow , yea if you can put that into some elegant words i will kiss you :)08:11
imbrandonwhiprush: exactly :)08:11
whiprushimbrandon: check it now, read better?08:12
imbrandonyea except the "way KDE way"08:13

elkbuntuhmm.. this reminds me of the first night at the pub :08:13
whiprushwhich has irritated me for years08:13
Burgundaviaimbrandon: you have a small problem with the 3.5.5a stuff: It is outside the scope of this UWN08:14
imbrandonelkbuntu: yea , whiprush  me and keybuk got into this convo over some beers ;)08:14
whiprushimbrandon: in case you haven't noticed, I consider anything a normal user needs to do out of ~ to be a bug. :D08:14
imbrandonBurgundavia: well that change was actualy in kubuntu-default-settings and done while at UDS08:14
imbrandonthe 3.5.5a wasent08:14
Burgundaviaimbrandon: I count upload date08:14
imbrandonright i need to change the wording08:15
Burgundaviamakes it really simple to figure out whether something has been talked about or not08:15
Burgundaviaand the == Feisty Changes == section is stuff that is already available08:15
Burgundaviaie: uploaded08:15
whiprushit's like 2:15am here. anything else?08:15

whiprushbut I need to go to work in the morning.08:16
whiprushBurgundavia: thank you, grand master, may i have another?08:16
imbrandonok Burgundavia fixed, and now it does fall into the scope08:16
Burgundaviaimbrandon: perfect. Would you mind parsing -default-settings each time it gets uploaded? I find it quite arcane to figure out what end users actually care about08:17
imbrandonsure08:17
elkbuntuwe're still lacking a soyuz thing08:17

lotusleafjenda: ping11:09
jendaKABOOM11:10
lotusleafjenda: just had a comment on your recent post on that obey thread11:10
lotusleafjenda: I've read on other places on the web about an interest in those rough designs as cafepress or whatever else tshirts and stuff, ppl especially like the idea of it on an all black shirt11:11
jendayes yes, so do I :)11:11
jendaI can get shirts done for about $10 each.11:11
lotusleafjenda: my only recommendation is that if you do go forward with this, don't have OBEY or refer to them as OBEY when selling shirts11:11
jendaof course :)11:12
jendaI'll call them rough.11:12
lotusleafjenda: because the whole OBEY thing, when it comes to money, I'm sure, is copyrighted by the guy who did Obey Giant11:12
jendaSince I have no clue what the obey meansany way.11:12
lotusleafah, ok, you're already way ahead of me, figures =)11:12
jenda11:12
jendaNot at all :)11:12
lotusleafjenda: it's explained on the wikipedia page I linked to in the post11:12
lotusleafjenda: which links to the official OBEY site11:12
lotusleafjenda: for obey giant11:12
jendacan you link teh post?11:13
jenda(so I don't have to search)11:13
lotusleafone sec11:13

lotusleafi'll just link you to the wiki11:14
lotusleaf^ there ;)11:14

jendai see11:15
lotusleafI'll help you understand it quickly11:16
lotusleaf"His "Obey" Campaign draws from the John Carpenter movie "They Live", taking a number of slogans, including the "Obey" slogan, as well as the "This is Your God" slogan.[1] "11:16
lotusleafhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey11:16
lotusleafif you've never seen THEY LIVE, you should11:16
jendahehe 11:16
lotusleafit may not have the best acting, but I believe everyone should see they live once11:16
lotusleafhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live11:17
lotusleafjust skimming the they live page about the movie should give you an idea11:18
lotusleafit's a wild movie, too bad the ending tapers off into lameness imo11:18
jendaok11:18
jendalooks... funky ;)11:21
jendaI might check it out...11:21

jendait rotates nicely - when I get up in the morning, only the latest amercans are still up (such as Corey)11:33
jendahe goes to be soon after...11:33
jendaaussies are coming back from work - or leaving work AND IRC behind...11:34

cpk1i'm always up much later than i should11:35
cpk1but things that get me interested always seem to pop up late at night11:35
jendayp 11:35
cpk1like last night, stupid cdrecord...11:35
jendaI hate cdrecord11:36
jendait hate my burner, in turn.11:36
cpk1yeah well it wasnt detecting my cd-rw11:36
jendaon the lappy?11:36
cpk1and i know my burner can use that brand of discs11:36
cpk1desktop11:36
jendaok11:36
cpk1although i think my laptop also has a burner that can do cd-rw11:37
cpk1the laptop really needs an internal drive though11:37
jendamine gets detected, and pretends to burn, and either fails, or pretends to succeed and fails all the same :?11:37
jendahaven't tried on Edgy, yet, thoug.h11:37
cpk1well it just tells me i have no medium11:37
jendaeek11:37
cpk1but after having my room mate burn to the cd-rw i can now mount it and -atip can see it11:38
cpk1and it mounted it as /media/dvdrecorder11:38
cpk1which i think is the problem11:38
cpk1i never tried using cdrecorder with /media/dvdrecorder11:38
