[07:29] <ara> good morning!
[08:49] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:12] <ara> morning davmor2
[09:13] <ara> davmor2, we are trying to cover at least one test of the images that we didn't test in alpha1, I already tested edubuntu i386
[09:13] <ara> davmor2, maybe you could do mythubuntu amd64
[10:02] <davmor2> ara: I can latter but I need to sod off up town now.  I'll have a flick through them when I get back
[10:02] <ara> davmor2, sure :)
[10:02] <ara> davmor2, thanks
[12:13]  * ara -> lunch
[14:08] <davmor2> cr3: morning, cool tips by the way.  The refactoring stuff and more on loops is in a latter chapter I just saw the two code blocks and though I can combine them :)
[14:08] <davmor2> fader_: morning
[14:08] <fader_> davmor2: Hey dude
[14:09] <davmor2> ara: I've only got the latest dailies is that or right for the tests as the a1 images seem to of vanished from the server now?
[14:09] <ara> davmor2, dailies are fine, tahnks
[14:13] <cr3> ara: hi there, my holiday hat doesn't include holiday testing. mind if I get back to you in january?
[14:14] <ara> cr3, indeed, are you talking about the email I sent you?
[14:15] <cr3> ara: yep
[14:15] <ara> cr3, of course, I am just sending pre holidays email to keep things up to date, but, it is not urgent, tahnks :)
[14:16] <cr3> ara: no worries, I'm trying to keep my inbox lean so that I don't spent january answering emails
[14:18] <davmor2> cr3: you mad fool you'll never empty it and have a holiday
[14:19] <cr3> davmor2: just keep it "lean", emptying is impossible
[14:21] <davmor2> cr3: no you just click select all, then hit delete, of course if you actually want to read it that's another matter :D
[14:26] <cr3> davmor2: I totally wish I could do that, I'm almost thinking of letting my laptop get stolen just to have my inbox emptied :)
[14:26] <fader_> cr3: Not using IMAP?
[14:26] <cr3> davmor2: by the way, "click" is not in my vocabulary, I use a window manager called rat poison for a reason :)
[14:27] <cr3> fader_: nope, I have encountered many situations where having email available locally be a good thing and imap synchronization was not worth it
[14:28] <cr3> fader_: I'm very impatient and, if I can't get to my email quickly when there's no bandwidth, all hell breaks loose
[14:28] <fader_> cr3: Huh.  I'm not sure what the difference between using IMAP synchronization and fetchmail or whatever is, but whatever works for you :)
[14:28] <fader_> *other than your mail also living on the server as well as on your local system, that is
[14:29] <cr3> fader_: what do you use for imap synchronization?
[14:29] <fader_> cr3: evolution :)
[14:29] <fader_> I like that I can have all my mail cached locally for my main system but select specific folders for my netbook
[14:30] <cr3> fader_: ugh, I'm not even going there
[14:30] <fader_> Hehe
[14:33] <fader_> cr3: I'm sure there's a service somewhere for luddites like you that prints your email and snail-mails it to you.
[14:34] <cr3> fader_: I'd rather have that than use a monolithic application like evolution
[14:34] <fader_> There's always Thunderbird
[14:35] <fader_> But I know, nothing is quite like 'tail /var/spool/mail/cr3' :)
[14:36] <davmor2> cr3: you should try have you tried crunchbang?
[14:37] <davmor2> cr3: Lets try that again have you tried crunchbang?
[14:40] <cr3> davmor2: I use ratpoison because it embraces knowledge reuse by reusing similar key bindings as screen
[15:27]  * ara takes a break
[16:35] <davmor2> cr3: if that is the case why not just use byobu on a server install :D
[16:40] <davmor2> sbeattie: you around?
[16:41] <sbeattie> davmor2: not really. What's up?
[16:43] <davmor2> sbeattie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/185878  is there a way to get a cd image with this version of grub on to see if it still balls's up the install which was the issue reported I've checked that the new version doesn't cause a regression with a standard install
[16:43] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 185878 in grub "GRUB installation fails if installing to certain non-ext3 filesystems" [High,Fix committed]
[16:58] <sbeattie> davmor2: boot hardy live media and then install grub from hardy-proposed? Otherwise, I'd ask in the bug report for suggestions on how to test.
[16:59] <davmor2> sbeattie: ta will do
