| winblows1970 | hi , can someone help me with ubuntu messup | 00:15 |

| BiosElement | winblows1970: You're looking for the #ubuntu channel I think. | 00:18 |
| mhall119 | winblows1970: this channel is specific to a project that creating teaching materials for Ubuntu | 00:18 |
| winblows1970 | oh | 00:18 |
| winblows1970 | how do i find ubuntu channel | 00:18 |
| mhall119 | for help with ubuntu, you should try either #ubuntu or, since that gets busy, #ubuntu-beginners | 00:18 |
| BiosElement | Depends on your IRC cleint. It's probably /join #ubuntu | 00:19 |
| BiosElement | *client | 00:19 |
| winblows1970 | thanks will try | 00:19 |
| winblows1970 | sry ...but do i use chanserv for finding ubuntu...new to irc thnks | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | winblows1970: what program are you using to access irc? | 00:22 |
| winblows1970 | a messenger program has mutiple aim yahoo exc.... | 00:23 |
| mhall119 | winblows1970: Pidgin? | 00:25 |
| mhall119 | Empathy? | 00:25 |
| mhall119 | one of those? | 00:25 |
| winblows1970 | ya | 00:25 |
| mhall119 | are you currently on Ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| winblows1970 | ti think i found it | 00:26 |

| winblows1970 | lol | 00:26 |
| mhall119 | if you're using Pidgin, you can just type "/join #ubuntu" here (without the quotes) | 00:27 |
| mhall119 | if it's empathy, there's a menu option to join a room, then just enter #ubuntu as the room/channel name | 00:27 |
| winblows1970 | thank you very much. cya have a nice nite/day | 00:28 |

| nigel_nb | hey guys | 13:22 |
| nigel_nb | BiosElement: ping | 13:39 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: ping | 13:54 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: pong | 13:54 |
| nigel_nb | hey, how are you? heard you were sick | 13:54 |
| nigel_nb | need an update on the new formatting | 13:56 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: heard you guys had some issue in your loco with people not being okay with IRC.... | 13:57 |
| nigel_nb | doctormo: are you busy? | 14:05 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: About to go out | 14:11 |
| nigel_nb | oh, later then | 14:11 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: The formatting is the same AFAIK, can we sit down later? | 14:11 |
| nigel_nb | I'll finish everything the way I was doing and we'll do this later | 14:11 |
| doctormo | bte: http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/watch.html | 14:12 |
| nigel_nb | some trouble with conversion, pleia2 was telling me | 14:12 |
| doctormo | nigel_nb: Interesting, we'll pick this up later, I've slowly recovering ebnough to get back on top of it. | 14:13 |
| nigel_nb | pleia2: you probably should change the /topic and remove stuff about meeting from wiki | 14:46 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: yeah, I'll do that when I prep the meeting page and stuff | 14:47 |
| pleia2 | sorry, still a bit sick :( | 14:47 |
| nigel_nb | you want me to get the wiki ready? | 14:48 |
| nigel_nb | I think I can do it (if u tell me what I have to do) | 14:48 |
| nigel_nb | hope you get well soon :) | 14:49 |
| ZachK_ | Meeting? | 14:50 |
| ZachK_ | Did someone say meeting?!?!?!! | 14:50 |
| * ZachK_ loves meetings | 14:50 | |
| nigel_nb | meeting's over | 14:50 |
| ZachK_ | damn | 14:50 |
| * pleia2 passes the swear jar to ZachK_ | 14:52 | |
| nigel_nb | ZachK_: FYI, this channel HAS public logs, so what u say is set in stone | 14:52 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: just take a look at past meeting pages where we link to logs and write minutes (or at least copy the agenda over) | 14:52 |
| * ZachK_ swears in jar...thanks pleia2 | 14:53 | |
| ZachK_ | hey pleia2 | 14:53 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: like this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/Agenda/07272009 | 14:53 |
| pleia2 | ZachK_: no, you put money in it :) | 14:53 |
| ZachK_ | pleia2: ok...... | 14:53 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: if you don't get to the "minutes" part, that's ok :) but the top is important | 14:53 |
| * ZachK_ puts 1ยข in the jar | 14:53 | |
| nigel_nb | pleia2: okay, I saw the point where you got lazy and just started linking them | 14:54 |
| * ZachK_ smacks nigel_nb | 14:54 | |
| ZachK_ | don't you dare call pleia2 lazy! | 14:54 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb: yeah, I think swoody was going to go through and fix those up but I think he got busy | 14:54 |
| * ZachK_ laughs.... | 14:54 | |
| ZachK_ | messing 'round...i'm still a little wacky from work | 14:55 |
| nigel_nb | ZachK_: well, I did hear her say herself :P | 14:56 |
| ZachK_ | nigel_nb: i know dude....hehehe | 14:56 |
| ZachK_ | i'm messing with you.... | 14:56 |
| ZachK_ | nigel_nb: I'm messing with you 'cause I miss my padawan...you grew up so fast! | 14:57 |
| nigel_nb | ha :P | 14:58 |
| _marx_ | nigel_nb: folks commenting that IRC isn't "beginner-ish" | 15:18 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: I went through the mail archives | 15:19 |
| nigel_nb | will it be possible to have videos on connecting to IRC from empathy/pidgin? | 15:19 |
| pleia2 | screencasts :) | 15:19 |
| nigel_nb | we could upload it and send it to our loco | 15:19 |
| nigel_nb | even the web interface would be fine | 15:20 |
| nigel_nb | we just need people to understand how to connect, how to see the session, and how to ask questions | 15:20 |
| _marx_ | screencast/video a good idea I think | 15:21 |
| _marx_ | but one on XChat as well | 15:21 |
| nigel_nb | sure | 15:21 |
| nigel_nb | if u can do the audio, I can get the video done | 15:21 |
| mhall119|work | XChat isn't what I'd use for beginners | 15:21 |
| nigel_nb | mhall119|work: +1 | 15:22 |
| * _marx_ gtk-recordmydesktop doesn't record sound for some reason | 15:22 | |
| mhall119|work | _marx_: have compiz enabled? | 15:22 |
| _marx_ | yes | 15:22 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: audio is supposed to be recorded later anyway | 15:22 |
| mhall119|work | oh, sound | 15:22 |
| mhall119|work | yeah | 15:22 |
| mhall119|work | none of the desktop recorders I've used record sound | 15:22 |
| nigel_nb | mhall119|work: it wont | 15:22 |
| _marx_ | even when i disconnect webcam so there's only one mic | 15:23 |
| nigel_nb | I went through some guide for it | 15:23 |
| nigel_nb | audio should be recorded later using some other software | 15:23 |
| mhall119|work | you might be able to record sounds with something like Audacity while you're recording the screen | 15:23 |
| nigel_nb | like Kino | 15:23 |
| _marx_ | yeah and then mixed | 15:23 |
| nigel_nb | yep | 15:23 |
| nigel_nb | audacity will work | 15:23 |
| _marx_ | now that's a thought | 15:23 |
| nigel_nb | I can do the video and upload it to rapidshare | 15:23 |
| _marx_ | yeah audacity picks up either mic on my sys | 15:24 |
| nigel_nb | can you download, do the audio and get it to me? | 15:24 |
| nigel_nb | I'll mix the audio/video and upload on blip.tv | 15:24 |
| nigel_nb | and we can send it out to our respective loco's | 15:24 |
| nigel_nb | my accent won't be really friendly for everyone :( | 15:24 |
| _marx_ | i'll give it a shot | 15:24 |
| _marx_ | haha | 15:25 |
| _marx_ | it'll be like calling some tech support ;-) | 15:25 |
| nigel_nb | haha, true | 15:25 |
| nigel_nb | that could serve as a lasting video for classroom sessions too | 15:25 |
| _marx_ | now here's a weird idea, same video, different accents | 15:26 |
| nigel_nb | could work, but I think a neutral accent might work for everyone | 15:27 |
| _marx_ | hollywood accent | 15:27 |
| nigel_nb | that would spoil it :P | 15:27 |
| * _marx_ has a touch of the US south | 15:27 | |
| nigel_nb | if nothing works, there's always the good doc :) | 15:28 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: just to confirm, what all are we do we need? | 15:29 |
| nigel_nb | empathy, pidgin, web.. enough? | 15:29 |
| nigel_nb | mhall119|work: comments on ^^ | 15:30 |
| _marx_ | yeah i think so | 15:30 |
| mhall119|work | nigel_nb: I think so, yes | 15:30 |
| _marx_ | the wiki on xchat is pretty thorough | 15:30 |
| mhall119|work | any default install will have pidgin or empathy | 15:30 |
| mhall119|work | and web of course is available to all | 15:30 |
| * _marx_ ttrying istanbul now | 15:31 | |
| nigel_nb | web would be the most user friendly | 15:31 |
| _marx_ | and stuttering ;) | 15:31 |
| nigel_nb | yeah | 15:31 |
| mhall119|work | _marx_: probably compiz | 15:31 |
| mhall119|work | gtk-recordmydesktop works pretty will for me even with compiz | 15:32 |
| _marx_ | isn't it SOP to use default desktop bg? | 15:32 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: got virtualbox? | 15:32 |
| _marx_ | yes, running lucid on it | 15:33 |
| nigel_nb | the SOP is to use a clean install so that all themes/backgrounds would be default | 15:33 |
| nigel_nb | and the soft uses less space that way | 15:33 |
| _marx_ | hum, well it's no longer all defaults either | 15:33 |
| nigel_nb | new vm? ;) | 15:33 |
| _marx_ | it's close enough i've not added much to it | 15:34 |
| _marx_ | http://www.flickr.com/photos/markthecarp/4081269643 | 15:35 |
| _marx_ | just change the bg back to default from that one ;) | 15:35 |
| nigel_nb | oh yeah, the background defintely needs to change :) | 15:35 |
| nigel_nb | I'll get you the SOP on videos | 15:36 |
| === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-learning to: Ubuntu Community Learning Project | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning | Next Meeting: TBD | Support in #ubuntu | ||
| nigel_nb | ah, good pleia2 :) | 15:36 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts | 15:37 |
| nigel_nb | from the screencast team | 15:37 |
| _marx_ | thanks nigel_nb | 15:37 |
| nigel_nb | yaay! I'm off today, so I get some stuff done today itself | 15:37 |
| * _marx_ screencast attempts did not go well | 17:24 | |
| nigel_nb_ | _marx_: how bad? | 17:39 |
| nigel_nb_ | _marx_: still with me here or split away? | 18:00 |
| nigel_nb_ | pleia2: the penguins in your christmas deco looks soooo geeky :) | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | nigel_nb_: thanks ;) | 18:41 |
| _marx_ | i'm back nigel_nb_ splits are bad today | 19:47 |
| nigel_nb_ | yeah | 19:47 |
| nigel_nb_ | how did your first attempt go? | 19:48 |
| === nigel_nb_ is now known as nigel_nb | ||
| _marx_ | gtk-recordmydesktop wants to capture the entire virtual box window | 19:48 |
| _marx_ | vbox is really loading my system up I suspect it's the state of lucid | 19:49 |
| _marx_ | if we're off topic in here we can take this somewhere else | 19:50 |
| nigel_nb | nope we're not | 19:50 |
| nigel_nb | userdays comes under learning team | 19:50 |
| nigel_nb | and what we're doing is related to user days | 19:51 |
| * nigel_nb hopes he is right | 19:51 | |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: to solve that problem, try xvidcap | 19:51 |
| nigel_nb | it allows you set the area to be captured | 19:51 |
| _marx_ | that's cool because that's exactly what I was thinking | 19:52 |
| _marx_ | you think 1.5 gig ram is enough? | 19:52 |
| nigel_nb | wow | 19:52 |
| nigel_nb | that should be more that enough | 19:53 |
| nigelbabu | okay, this is me from empathy | 19:53 |
| nigelbabu | not, bad, now I know what to do :P | 19:53 |
| _marx_ | doesn't seem that much easier than xchat to me | 19:54 |
| nigel_nb | actually, I find it more clunky | 19:55 |
| nigel_nb | coz for the class, you need to be in 2 rooms at once | 19:55 |
| nigel_nb | one for class and one for questions | 19:55 |
| _marx_ | istanbul was a complete, well nearly complete mystery | 19:56 |
| nigel_nb | istanbul captures the whole screen | 19:58 |
| nigel_nb | that must be why screencast team recommends xvidcap | 19:58 |
| _marx_ | slow, recording now | 20:01 |
| marco_polo | and that's me er marx | 20:02 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: from empathy huh? | 20:02 |
| _marx_ | yes | 20:02 |
| _marx_ | from lucid while recording | 20:03 |
| nigel_nb | oh cool | 20:03 |
| _marx_ | I think i will need to use a fresh karmic install | 20:03 |
| nigel_nb | while recording, it would be nice to join #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat directly | 20:03 |
| _marx_ | yes, that was just a test run | 20:03 |
| nigel_nb | so, it will be to the point, users will just need to follow it directly | 20:03 |
| nigel_nb | hows xvid? | 20:03 |
| _marx_ | capture success ration 57.51% | 20:04 |
| _marx_ | the video is usable though | 20:05 |
| nigel_nb | great | 20:06 |
| nigel_nb | so which means we are going the right way | 20:06 |
| * _marx_ needs the test run just to learn empathy ;) | 20:06 | |
| nigel_nb | same here | 20:06 |
| * _marx_ testing emapathy only again w/two channels | 20:08 | |
| nigel_nb | looks okay with two channels | 20:09 |
| * nigel_nb is creating new virtual machine with karmic | 20:10 | |
| * _marx_ was hoping there was a ~/.empathy so I could just delete or move it for simulated fresh installation | 20:13 | |
| _marx_ | ah found it | 20:14 |
| * _marx_ will do same once lucid finishes upgrading | 20:20 | |
| nigel_nb | you'll do empathy? | 20:20 |
| nigel_nb | I'll get the web done in that case | 20:21 |
| _marx_ | fresh karmic install | 20:21 |
| nigel_nb | getting the fresh one | 20:21 |
| * _marx_ sound portion is bad, too much bg noise from 4 pc's running | 20:25 | |
| nigel_nb | what are you recording on, audacity? | 20:26 |
| _marx_ | yep | 20:26 |
| nigel_nb | oh, cool | 20:28 |
| nigel_nb | fresh install this time? | 20:28 |
| _marx_ | it's almost ready | 20:28 |
| nigel_nb | mine's at 40% :( | 20:30 |
| _marx_ | using a cd or hd image? | 20:30 |
| nigel_nb | cd | 20:30 |
| _marx_ | I think it's a little faster from hd image | 20:30 |
| nigel_nb | i *cough* *cough* deleted my image or moved it someplace and I dont remember where | 20:30 |
| _marx_ | oops | 20:31 |
| _marx_ | hum wonder if vbox can boot over the network | 20:31 |
| nigel_nb | i think you need the non-free version | 20:33 |
| _marx_ | that's what I'm using; the one from sun | 20:34 |
| nigel_nb | oh | 20:34 |
| nigel_nb | I'm using vbox from repos | 20:34 |
| _marx_ | well you can add the sun repo | 20:34 |
| nigel_nb | so far, this one's okay | 20:36 |
| nigel_nb | I dont own a flash drive, so not much incentive getting the other one | 20:36 |
| _marx_ | I found USB and network bridging better | 20:40 |
| _marx_ | nigel_nb: you'll beat me to it: i have to start over using a different partition | 20:42 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: what happened? | 20:42 |
| _marx_ | default is to use /home which doesn't have enough room so i'll start over using /data | 20:43 |
| _marx_ | second hd w/lots of space | 20:43 |
| nigel_nb | ah | 20:43 |
| nigel_nb | swoody: were you able to get around to doing the meeting stuff? | 20:47 |
| swoody | nigel_nb, indeed not :( | 20:48 |
| nigel_nb | I think I might get time to help | 20:48 |
| nigel_nb | I got 6 hours more today | 20:48 |
| swoody | not much free time with all the holiday crud (read: in-laws) | 20:48 |
| nigel_nb | after a few screencasts, I'll get around to doing them :) | 20:48 |
| swoody | nigel_nb, that would truly be great :) | 20:48 |
| swoody | if not, I'm still planning on tackling them when I get some time | 20:49 |
| nigel_nb | swoody: if u could review them later and make edits, it would be great : | 20:49 |
| nigel_nb | :) | 20:49 |
| swoody | nigel_nb, just use the few existing ones as examples, and I'm sure you'll catch on quick :) | 20:49 |
| swoody | but I'd be glad to look them over | 20:49 |
| nigel_nb | swoody: hopefully I will | 20:49 |
| nigel_nb | first order of buisness today is screencasts, then bzr module, then the meeting | 20:50 |
| swoody | sounds like you have quite the full plate ;) | 20:50 |
| nigel_nb | swoody: not really, marx is helping with screencasts (we're both doing them together), bzr module needs only 2 more sections, and meeting (that might take some time) | 20:56 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: I'm at 100% :) | 21:26 |
| cprofitt | hey nigel_nb | 21:27 |
| nigel_nb | hey cprofitt :) | 21:27 |
| * _marx_ upgrading from alpha6 to final | 21:28 | |
| nigel_nb | cprofitt: some of the loco guys fro nc wanted some help with irc | 21:28 |
| cprofitt | nice | 21:28 |
| cprofitt | get them involved | 21:28 |
| nigel_nb | getting around to doing screencasts on using pidgin/empathy/web chat | 21:28 |
| nigel_nb | its for the user days | 21:28 |
| cprofitt | sounds good... | 21:29 |
| nigel_nb | so we thought we'd do it and update the locos and any new announcements can have it too | 21:30 |
| nigel_nb | and classroom team can have it permanently | 21:30 |

| nigel_nb | marx ran into some trouble with his loco people of the opinion that irc is too tough | 22:51 |

| FFEMTcJ | Thought Lernid would work perfect | 22:51 |
| nigel_nb | lernid is still buggy | 22:51 |
| _marx_ | well probably not for January | 22:51 |
| nigel_nb | we both are trying to get screencasts out | 22:51 |
| _marx_ | nigel_nb: my fresh vbox is _finally finished upgrading, might have been faster to dl current, I just forgot my hd image was alpha6 | 22:53 |
| nigel_nb | hehe | 22:53 |
| nigel_nb | mine is ready too | 22:53 |
| nigel_nb | but now I'm patching something :P | 22:53 |
| nigel_nb | I'll take at least 1.5 hours to get to screen casts | 22:54 |
| _marx_ | no prob | 22:54 |

| nigel_nb | akgraner: around? | 23:47 |
| _marx_ | nigel_nb: do you have a usable empathy one | 23:51 |
| nigel_nb | _marx_: not yet | 23:51 |
| nigel_nb | do u want one? | 23:51 |
| nigel_nb | rather, do u want me to make one? | 23:52 |
| _marx_ | i'm fixin' to try for one | 23:52 |
| nigel_nb | I thought u cud do empathy | 23:52 |
| _marx_ | my install is all patched up now | 23:52 |
| nigel_nb | and I'll get the videos ready for pidgin and web, and you could do the narration | 23:52 |
| nigel_nb | I'm trying to get akgraner or pleia2 for a female voice in one of them | 23:52 |
| _marx_ | akgraner: hasn't responded to some minor taunts in team channel | 23:53 |
| nigel_nb | anyone else we could rope in ? | 23:54 |
| nigel_nb | the loco channel u mean? | 23:54 |
| _marx_ | for voice overs? | 23:54 |
| nigel_nb | yea | 23:54 |
| _marx_ | yes loco channel | 23:54 |
| _marx_ | might ask in ubuntu-women | 23:55 |
