[00:21] <duanedesign> hello cprofitt
[00:23] <duanedesign> cprofitt: yes I would be interested in doing that
[00:24] <cprofitt> duanedesign: do you have an account on the Moodle site yet?
[00:24] <duanedesign> cprofitt: i dont think so. I remembered looking at it a long time ago. i can check
[00:25] <cprofitt> check... let me know
[00:25] <cprofitt> if not make an account with openID and I will give you course creator rights
[00:29] <duanedesign> cprofitt: ok i got it
[00:31] <cprofitt> all set for course creator duanedesign
[00:31] <duanedesign> cprofitt: great
[00:32] <cprofitt> feel free to ask me questions...
[00:32] <duanedesign> cprofitt: i have all the materials compiled to do courses on all the Launchpad topics. I am working through it all and condensing it
[00:33] <duanedesign> cprofitt: thanks, i might take you up on that :)
[00:33] <cprofitt> np
[01:08] <nigel_nb> later everyone
[01:33] <pleia2> cprofitt: when you have some time, on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/CourseLayout do you think you can add some kind of "Moodle Example" to each which explains where in moodle each section would go? or what it would be called?
[02:07] <chitchatcurtis> Is anyone here tonight?
[02:07] <pleia2> evening
[02:07] <chitchatcurtis> how are you
[02:07] <chitchatcurtis> ?
[02:08] <chitchatcurtis> can I ask a question?
[02:08] <pleia2> chitchatcurtis: we're a course development project, if it's a support channel you'd be better off trying #ubuntu :)
[02:09] <chitchatcurtis> you just answered my question
[02:10] <pleia2> if you'd like more information about our project the project wiki page in the /topic can tell you more
[02:11] <chitchatcurtis> ok thanks   Im new to linux  I guess I will look on this site on the 11th and see what this is all about
[02:12] <pleia2> we're working on writing courses about ubuntu that teams can teach
[02:13] <chitchatcurtis> Im very interested in learning.
[02:13] <pleia2> if you're interested, we're also having a "User Day" on Saturday in a couple weeks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays
[02:15] <chitchatcurtis> ok I also have a few friends here that are also interested. Im doing my best in south east oklahoma to spread the word about Ubuntu
[02:16] <pleia2> cool :)
[02:16] <pleia2> I don't know how active it is, but there is an Ubuntu team in OK: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OklahomaTeam
[02:16] <chitchatcurtis> I just joined a few days ago.
[02:16] <pleia2> oh great
[02:18] <chitchatcurtis> Im going to try to get something going closer to home. I have friends that use fedora and arch. but we are going to get something together here.
[02:18]  * pleia2 nods
[02:20] <nigel_nb> pleia2, ah, your back :)
[02:21] <chitchatcurtis> don't know when yet but we are working on it. I have run into several business that run a linux os here but they don't know much about it. nor do I. But Im wanting to learn more. I just love the fact that I have more control of my computer
[02:21] <pleia2> nigel_nb: yep!
[02:22] <pleia2> chitchatcurtis: interesting, are they using it on servers or desktops?
[02:22] <pleia2> I find it's kinda rare for companies to use it on desktops just yet, but there are a few popping up lately
[02:24] <chitchatcurtis> desktop. mostly for oklahoma wild life. for hunting and fishing licenses. but it is good to see it go to that point
[02:24] <pleia2> yeah, that's great :)
[02:28] <chitchatcurtis> I have a boss that uses a laptop with fedora with a windows xp v machine so he can work on allen bradly plc's
[02:31] <chitchatcurtis> I want to do the same with my laptop. Im the mill wright/ electrian, and I need to be able to trouble shoot the plcs from home
[02:31] <pleia2> ah, is that an application that only runs on windows?
[02:32] <chitchatcurtis> yes it is
[02:32] <chitchatcurtis> xp pro
[02:32] <pleia2> I've found that to be the biggest hurdle in getting businesses to adopt linux
[02:32] <pleia2> one or two key apps that only run in windows and are vital
[02:34] <chitchatcurtis> and I really don't understand that. If I had a company I would want to be more open to the world. It isn't just a windows and mac world anymore
[02:35] <pleia2> I am hopeful that some companies are coming to that realization
[02:36] <chitchatcurtis> Me too. I was never a real big fan of windows. But I was looking into getting a Mac till I was introduced to Ubuntu
[02:37] <chitchatcurtis> Thank goodness
[02:38] <chitchatcurtis> So what are your thoughts of Ubuntu vrs fedora?
[02:39] <pleia2> don't have any really, I have very little experience with fedora
[02:40] <pleia2> fedora (and redhat, centos) use the "rpm" package infrastructure, I've always preferred "deb" which debian and ubuntu use
[02:41] <chitchatcurtis> me too but boss is pushing it. Im more into Ubuntu. From what I have learned ubuntu is a little more user friendly
[02:42] <pleia2> I know a lot of fedora folks who would say the same about fedora, it might just come down to a personal preference
[02:43] <chitchatcurtis> I bet your right. But the foundation is still linux:-D
[02:43] <pleia2> yep :)
[02:48] <chitchatcurtis> thank you for chatting with me. I guess that I need to go offline and get some sleep. 3 am comes early
[02:48] <pleia2> sure thing, you too
[02:48] <pleia2> take care
[02:48] <chitchatcurtis> you too  I will try to be here Monday
[10:34] <Steel__> hello to All, when i recompile a kernel, how do i use them on hardware identic other physikal Systems ? just copy them over and create Bootloader Menu ?
[10:36] <leoquant> Hi Steel_ maybe it is an idea to ask your question here: #ubuntu-beginners, or #ubuntu?
[10:37] <leoquant>  /join #ubuntu-beginners
[10:44] <Steel__> Thanks leoquant
[22:21] <pleia2> re: User Days, who was looking into using Lernid? nhandler mentioned it since it'll be ready for UDW just a couple days after UUD so we might actually be able to use it
[22:22] <nigel_nb> pleia2, I did
[22:22] <nigel_nb> pleia2, we need to create a server side config file and give jono
[22:23] <pleia2> nigel_nb: are there instructions for that somewhere?
[22:24] <nigel_nb> pleia2, getting that for ya
[22:26] <nigel_nb> pleia2, do know how to generate an ical file?
[22:26] <pleia2> nigel_nb: no, but I can learn
[22:26] <nigel_nb> I dont know, I thought u knew
[22:26] <pleia2> hehe
[22:26] <nhandler> nigel_nb and pleia2: Google Calendar (and most calendar apps) can export an ical
[22:27] <nhandler> Want me to make one?
[22:27] <pleia2> nhandler: that'd be great :)
[22:27] <nigel_nb> nhandler, oh, thanks
[22:27] <nigel_nb> pleia2, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid/LernidEvent
[22:27] <pleia2> nigel_nb: thanks!
[22:27] <nigel_nb> but the problem is, we can't we partial to lernid
[22:27] <nigel_nb> the features are mind blowing
[22:27] <nigel_nb> but only users there would be the sort of testers for lernid
[22:28] <pleia2> yeah, I think we'd have to plan around it ahead of time, which there isn't time for now
[22:28] <nhandler> Not really. They will be using it for UDW a few days later, so I see no problem with using some of its features for the User Day
[22:28] <nigel_nb> nhandler, but slides option is too tempting
[22:29] <nhandler> nigel_nb: Slides should simply supplement, they shouldn't be the full presentation
[22:30] <nigel_nb> I'll try to work around Lernid, but using the features in lernid too
[22:30] <nigel_nb> nhandler, where you there for Jono's test class?
[22:30] <nhandler> nigel_nb: No. I couldn't make it
[22:30] <nigel_nb> nhandler, it was mindblowing TBH
[22:32] <cprofitt> I missed his class...
[22:32] <cprofitt> would have liked to attend
[22:32] <nigel_nb> Lernid crashed a few times for me
[22:33] <nigel_nb> but once stable and working, I think we have a very good tool
[22:33] <pleia2> cool
[22:34] <cprofitt> bbl -- wife is practicing her presentation...
[22:45] <nhandler> Here is a basic ics version of the Ubuntu User Days calendar. http://paste.ubuntu.com/355225/
[22:49] <nhandler> Actually, just use this URL: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/ht0cie6r0pao14j6c2ndv8d8d8%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
[22:49] <nigel_nb> nhandler, yeah, only the url is needed
[22:50] <nhandler> If anyone prepares some slides for their presentation or if the schedule changes, poke me and I can update the calendar
[22:51] <pleia2> thanks nhandler!
[22:51] <nhandler> :)
[22:51] <nigel_nb> nhandler, great :)
[22:51] <_marx_> hum slides for command line basics... :)
[22:52] <_marx_> actually one for midnight commander might be useful
[22:53] <nhandler> I can also host the PDF files if people need some hosting
[22:58] <pleia2> great
[23:19] <cjohnston> pleia2: did you ever talk to magicfab?
[23:21] <nigel_nb> nhandler, I finally learned how to get the ical link ;)
[23:28] <nigel_nb> cjohnston, did you do anything about lernid ?
[23:28] <cjohnston> about it?
[23:29] <nigel_nb> cjohnston, I'm creating the config file.. okay with ya?
[23:29] <cjohnston> ya
[23:30] <nigel_nb> k
[23:35] <nigel_nb> nhandler, ping
[23:39] <nhandler> nigel_nb: pong
[23:39] <nigel_nb> nhandler, where do we put the .lernid server-side configuration file? any idea
[23:40] <nigel_nb> jono is not clear on the wiki
[23:40] <nhandler> nigel_nb: I believe you need to give it to Jono right now
[23:40] <nigel_nb> nhandler, ah
[23:40] <nigel_nb> cjohnston, are the start times and end times of the user day definite?
[23:40] <nigel_nb> cjohnston, in that case, I can give jono the config file
[23:41] <cjohnston> nigel_nb: i dont know.. hellow may be backing out... but we now have magicfab who is offering, but seems his courses are already covered..
[23:43] <nigel_nb> cjohnston, hm, cutting 1 hour?
[23:43] <cjohnston> possible
[23:43] <cjohnston> dont know
[23:44] <cjohnston> trying to get more info from magicfab
[23:44] <cjohnston> see if he has something to cover that isnt already
[23:44] <nigel_nb> let me know in a few
[23:45] <nigel_nb> if u decide to shuffle its okay, just let nhandler know
[23:45] <nigel_nb> if u cut hours, I have to know
