| _diablo | that is ridiculous | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| _diablo | copyright law annoys me so much | 00:01 |
| * Takyoji copyrights diablo | 00:13 | |
| * Takyoji spraypaints Mickey Mouse on a wall, and runs off chased by lawyers of Warner Chappell | 00:14 | |
| jenkinbr | lol | 00:15 |
| * jenkinbr eats RIAA | 00:15 | |
| Takyoji | Any thoughts on the Nexus One? | 00:38 |
| _diablo | it's sexy as hell | 00:46 |
| Takyoji | I wonder if Windows Mobile will continue to supposedly decline. :P | 00:48 |
| _diablo | I would guess so | 00:48 |
| _diablo | it's awful | 00:48 |
| _diablo | they have to rewrite it | 00:48 |
| Takyoji | hah http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/12/yahoo-spy-prices | 00:49 |
| Takyoji | Gotta love how companies try to sue in the consideration of being a "DMCA violation" of something leaked. | 00:53 |
| _diablo | haha, yeeeeah | 00:54 |
| __diablo | anyone here using lucid yet? | 02:13 |
| === __diablo is now known as _diablo | ||
| Takyoji | I think I downloaded the ISO a while ago of Alpha 1 to poke at in a VM, but haven't done much since with it | 02:17 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: you don't know off hand if it's still alpha-1, do you? | 02:18 |
| Takyoji | I think it's still Alpha 1 | 02:18 |
| _diablo | because I seem to recall Snoopy saying he was excited for 10.04a4 | 02:18 |
| Takyoji | I can check infact | 02:18 |
| _diablo | okay, that was a weird comment | 02:18 |
| _diablo | yeah, it's on my calendar | 02:18 |
| _diablo | lucid A2 was scheduled for jan 14 | 02:18 |
| _diablo | is there a torrent location for the alpha? I found the direct, but I like sharing ;) | 02:19 |
| Takyoji | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/ | 02:19 |
| _diablo | Takyoji: beautiful. thanks a bunch! | 02:19 |
| Takyoji | #ubuntu is a blackhole; it just sucks me in and doesn't let me out.. | 02:25 |
| Takyoji | Because I'm too compelled to help others | 02:25 |
| _diablo | I understand :) I do that on fedora sometimes | 02:28 |
| _diablo | luckily I'm ignorant enough to not be much help to anyone | 02:28 |
| _diablo | so I just word vomit all over it | 02:28 |
| Takyoji | otherwise apparently nobody had a response for my question about the lack of write-ability for SD cards. :P | 02:38 |
| Takyoji | Shall I harass the mailing list about it to see if anyone has an idea? | 02:39 |
| Takyoji | (the Minnesota mailing list) | 02:39 |
| _diablo | I would | 02:42 |
| _diablo | People there are very good with very technical stuff. Put as much info in the first email as possible | 02:42 |

| JChristensen | Hi I'm new | 20:03 |
| mr_steve | JChristensen: hi! | 20:05 |
| JChristensen | I was looking at starting a LoCo team but i see it has already been done | 20:06 |
| mr_steve | Yep, that's how I found this team, I was doing some research on starting a local group and found someone had already done it | 20:09 |
| JChristensen | have you gone to any events? | 20:09 |
| mr_steve | No, not yet. There was an installfest a while ago, but other than that we haven't had many in-person type events | 20:10 |
| mr_steve | But I and perhaps _diablo will be trying to do fairly regular "Ubuntu Hour" events at coffeeshops in Minneapolis at least | 20:11 |
| JChristensen | Oh ok, I started a consulting firm last august and i'm looking to get do some community events to get the word out about free software | 20:11 |
| JChristensen | its amazing how many people i've talked to have never even herd of linux ubuntu etc. | 20:12 |
| mr_steve | Yeah, that's the idea behind the Ubuntu Hour, to just sort of sit at a coffeeshop with a bunch of Ubuntu stuff on the table and engage people in conversation | 20:13 |
| mr_steve | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour | 20:13 |
| mr_steve | You might want to check out these guys too, they actually have regular in-person meetings: http://www.penguinsunbound.org/ | 20:14 |
| JChristensen | ok thank you | 20:14 |
| JChristensen | you ever think about doing a community ed class? | 20:15 |
| mr_steve | Personally I haven't, I don't know if the idea's been kicked around here before or not | 20:15 |
| mr_steve | tonyyarusso would probably know, but he seems to be away at the moment | 20:16 |
| JChristensen | i've been working on that idea for a while | 20:16 |
| mr_steve | Oh, before I forget, I should mention that we are now trying to have regular IRC meetings in this channel, on the first monday of every month at 7PM CST | 20:17 |
| mr_steve | Anyone is basically welcome to contribute topics for the agenda | 20:17 |
| JChristensen | i'll have to put that on my agenda | 20:17 |
| mr_steve | Yeah, it's not always that active in here, but most of us try to participate in the meetings. It's usually more active in the evenings, too. | 20:19 |
| tonyyarusso | JChristensen: I'm not aware of any type of community ed class effort yet, no. | 20:20 |
| mr_steve | ah there he is, hey :) | 20:20 |
| JChristensen | what do you think of the idea? | 20:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Could be interesting - do you have more details of what you have in mind? | 20:21 |
| JChristensen | would have to come up with a curriculum, start out with an introduction into free software, offer liveCD's, get into openoffice a little... | 20:23 |
| JChristensen | maybe do an install | 20:23 |
| Takyoji | Oh come on, nobody Slashdotted news of my birthday; geez! :P | 21:36 |
| Snoopy | So the 64-bit Ubuntu is supposed to be faster but it had too many bugs to tell | 21:43 |
| Snoopy | I so then I installed the 32-bit 9.04 | 21:44 |
| _diablo | mr_steve: you and definitely _diablo :) | 22:27 |
| _diablo | Snoopy: hi | 22:28 |
| _diablo | 64 will be faster. did you say that 64 10.04 had bugs? I mean, it's an alpha | 22:29 |
| _diablo | 64 bit 9.04 will be as stable as 32 bit 9.04 | 22:29 |
| _diablo | although, may I ask why you're not using 9.10? | 22:29 |
| _diablo | it's stable as well | 22:29 |
| Snoopy | 9.10 has less stuff | 22:29 |
| Snoopy | like the screensavers | 22:29 |
| _diablo | Snoopy: like what? | 22:29 |
| _diablo | you can install those you know... | 22:29 |
| Snoopy | I did not know that | 22:30 |
| _diablo | but about the shirt: we don't know that information yet. tonyyarusso is the one in charge I believe, but we don't have a critical mass yet. We're going to wait a few days. We should know by next monday or tuesday | 22:30 |
| Snoopy | 10.04 is so unstable, the restart after the upgrade was bad... I had trouble getting to the log in page | 22:30 |
| _diablo | we want to give people at least a week to respond | 22:30 |
| _diablo | Snoopy: yeah, that's what happens with an alpha1 release. it won't be partially stable until a release candidate | 22:31 |
| _diablo | even the beta won't be stable | 22:31 |
| _diablo | stick with 9.10 unless you're looking for pain like me ;) | 22:31 |
| Snoopy | You have 10.04? | 22:32 |
| _diablo | Snoopy: in a virtual box | 22:33 |
| Snoopy | _diablo: How is the virtual box working for you then? | 22:36 |
| _diablo | well, I have only installed it and haven't played with it yet | 22:37 |
| Snoopy | ok | 22:37 |
| _diablo | but I ran 10.04 for a week or two before the alpha came out | 22:37 |
| Snoopy | how? | 22:37 |
| h00k | daily builds! | 22:37 |
| Snoopy | oh | 22:38 |
| Snoopy | I still do not know much about Ubuntu | 22:38 |
| Snoopy | But I am trying to not have to rely on windows | 22:39 |
| Snoopy | I am having trouble playing videos that need the windows speech decoder | 22:41 |
| _diablo | h00k: also, 9.10 using lucid repos :) | 22:42 |
| h00k | or this,sure | 22:42 |
| _diablo | Snoopy: honestly, if you're looking to move from windows, it will be much easier to just use a stable release. set up a virtual box to test experimental stuff | 22:43 |
| _diablo | also, make a lot of backups :) | 22:43 |
| Snoopy | how can I make backups to a usb hard drive? | 22:43 |
| _diablo | Snoopy: do you mean automatically, or manually? | 22:44 |
| _diablo | also, what do you want backed up? | 22:44 |
| Snoopy | I want everything backed up and it would be nice to have it automatic. I would like to boot off of the backup | 22:44 |
| _diablo | define everything. your entire operating system? | 22:45 |
| _diablo | i mean, you can copy your entire filesystem... but you might as well just install your OS to a portable drive like an sd card | 22:46 |
| Snoopy | Everything on my hard drive | 22:46 |
| Snoopy | what would the easiest way be to have everything on an external hard drive and be able to boot up from the hard drive on a mac? | 22:47 |
| _diablo | oof. I don't have much experience with Macs but from what I know, they are hard to configure | 22:48 |
| _diablo | and don't interface well with PCs. I am not the right person to ask though. | 22:49 |
| _diablo | ummm, I would ask on the #ubuntu channel. Or ask again when someone else is on here | 22:49 |
| Snoopy | they can't be that much different because of the intel processor | 22:50 |
| _diablo | sorry I couldn't help with that | 22:50 |
| _diablo | ahhhh, how wrong that is. | 22:50 |
| _diablo | they have weird MBR settings on their hard drives. | 22:50 |
| _diablo | and I'm not sure their BIOS allow external boot devices without serious hacking | 22:50 |
| _diablo | the CPU isn't the issue, it's the peripherals. | 22:50 |
| _diablo | but I gtg, dinner. sorry I couldn't help. | 22:50 |
| Snoopy | bye | 22:51 |
