[04:29] <rockhopper> Hi, how can i add a device in my ubuntu one account?
[04:30] <rockhopper> I can't find the add this device button on one.ubuntu.com/account page
[04:31] <rockhopper> anyone?
[04:46] <AJenbo> rockhopper, is it a phone?
[04:47] <rockhopper> No, Its a netbook!
[04:47] <AJenbo> then you add it from the netbook it self
[04:47] <rockhopper> I already got account on ubuntu, when i login, i can't find the add this compter button
[04:47] <rockhopper> How to do that?
[04:47] <AJenbo> Open Ubuntu one on it and login, that all you need to do.
[04:48] <AJenbo> What version of Ubuntu do you have installed on the netbook?
[04:48] <rockhopper> UNR 10.04
[04:48] <rockhopper> I don't have a login link it the ubuntu one app
[04:48] <AJenbo> System-settings-ubuntu one
[04:48] <AJenbo> manage account
[04:49] <rockhopper> when i click manage account, a webpage opens
[04:49] <AJenbo> yes
[04:50] <AJenbo> log in to it
[04:50] <rockhopper> But there's no add this device button in that page
[04:50] <AJenbo> well you don't need to press a add this button
[04:50] <rockhopper> Yes, I've logged in
[04:50] <rockhopper> then?
[04:51] <AJenbo> Some times the login process can mess up, try rebooting and then optning the U1 client again
[04:51] <AJenbo> I have had computeres where i had to do it 3 times because it failed the frist time.
[04:52] <AJenbo> *first
[04:52] <rockhopper> Oh!
[04:52] <rockhopper> ok brb I'll try rebooting
[04:52] <AJenbo> The login process should be a lot better in the next version, it will be released in 20 dayes
[04:59] <rockhopper> ok thanks AJenbo, i got it workind
[08:43] <mandel_> morning!
[10:49] <lubuntu_userrrr> Hi. Why the ubuntu_one developers chose the client to depend on erlang, rather than drop such kind of dependency?
[11:26] <rye> lubuntu_userrrr, erlang is brought by couchdb which is used by desktopcouch to provide contacts and bookmarks synchronization (when servers are brought up again after the team makes sure that it won't stop a) crashing (fixed), b) working oauth at all times (fixed) c) proper SSL connection (hangs now)
[11:31] <lubuntu_userrrr> rye: 10z for the answer. Erlang is a powerful choice, but wouldn't creating simpler straight-for-the-job solution a) boost the performance as of memory and cpu usage; b) save spce on the livecd; c) make the ubuntu-one client more portable?
[11:32] <jan____> lubuntu_userrrr: a) sync is hard, reimplementing is not at all trivial b) erlang is very lightweight, we run it on android phones in CPU/RAM/Disk requirements. c) it is very portable already
[11:34] <lubuntu_userrrr> rye: I am asking such questions because I am making a research for deploying ubuntu into my company (really-really small company) and ubuntu-one seems useful since there are no privacy and trade secrets involved.
[11:35] <jan____> lubuntu_userrrr: sounds cool, if you have any questions on the CouchDB-related part, I can help
[11:37] <duanedesign> morning all
[11:37] <lubuntu_userrrr> jan____: Since natty goals are going to be decided a few months from would it be a lie if I write that desktopcouch (=>couchdb) solution for backing up system and certain programs' settings (mainly interested in firefox and openoffice) is planned for ubuntu-one in 11.04?
[11:39] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: their are apps available now that cah do such things. I have an application Stipple which uses plugins to backup application settings to couchdb
[11:39] <jan____> lubuntu_userrrr: I can't comment on the plans of Ubuntu itself, I just work on CouchDB
[11:39] <lubuntu_userrrr> jan____: I think about recommending ubuntu_one as a real alternative for backing up non-priovate and non-trade-secrets like information and cutting down the costs for second backup company.
[11:40] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: the plugins are trivial to write. Meaning adding new applications are easy to add
[11:40] <jan____> lubuntu_userrrr: oh yeah, that sounds like a good idea
[11:41] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: https://launchpad.net/stipple <--we willl have a deb for it when couch replication gets going again
[11:44] <lubuntu_userrrr> duanedesign, jan____ : As far az i have read, ubuntu_one plugins for backup purposes are considered relative easy to write (and relatively cheap :-) ), but the support from a company that has good reputation (like Canonical or the Apache foundation for ex.) is considered a definite plus by the management.
[11:45] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: writing plugins for Stipple are easy to do.
[11:46] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: not that writing an application to take advantage of Ubuntu One and Couch are hard
[11:47] <lubuntu_userrrr> duanedesign: I am definitely going to propose "Striple" integration as a good alternative.
[11:47] <jan____> lubuntu_userrrr: sounds sensible
[11:48] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: I know Ubuntu has plans for an addition to maverick called OneConf. At the moment though the only concrete plans are syncing list of installed applications. I think at this UDS they might be discussing further additions
[11:51] <lubuntu_userrrr> duanedesign, jan____ : What is your opinion - are there any possible benefits from ubuntu_one besides the backing up of contacts, documents, system and programs' settings?
[11:51] <kklimonda> it doesn't brew coffee if that's what you are asking :/
[11:52] <kklimonda> good morning
[11:52] <duanedesign> lubuntu_userrrr: the integration with the Ubuntu desktop, I think, is a big plus U1 has that other soltions dont.
[11:52] <lubuntu_userrrr> :-D
[11:52] <jan____> yeah, I really wish it'd brew coffee
[11:52] <duanedesign> +1
[11:52] <kklimonda> duanedesign:any idea who is responsible for the OneConf?
[11:52] <duanedesign> yes
[11:52] <lubuntu_userrrr> If U1 brew coffee and made cakes, I would have married her :-D
[11:53] <kklimonda> lol
[11:53] <duanedesign> kklimonda: [d]idrocks is who I have been corresponding with on that project
[11:54] <kklimonda> ok, I'll ping him when i have time. thanks.
[11:54] <lubuntu_userrrr> duanedesign: jan____ : 10x for the answers.
[13:13] <j0nr> hi all. I am displaying some info from a mysql db by querying and echo'ing it into some html. What I intend to do, server side, is use html2fpdf to convert he html page into a downloadable pdf. The way I thought I could tackle this is by wget'ing the html page to get the html code. My problem is that I have a password protection on the pages, so unless I have logged in I just wget the 'you need to log in page'
[13:16] <duanedesign> hello j0nr
[13:18] <j0nr> hello duanedesign
[13:19] <duanedesign> their are --user and --password options for wget
[13:21] <duanedesign> j0nr: so maybe something like: wget --http-user=vivek --http-password=Secrete http://website.com
[13:22] <j0nr> duanedesign: hmm ill try
[13:27] <rye> j0nr, that will work only if it is HTTP authorization, if you have some session-based auth then you will need to look at the cookie you've got (e.g. by using firebug) and then supply it as --header "Cookie:  ..." value
[13:55] <j0nr> rye: that is what I have, a session based simple php script
[13:56] <j0nr> amlooking at just creating a temp file of the output of the php function, so it generates html for the browser and writes it to file, which I can then process
[13:58] <j0nr> I seem to be going wrong somewhere with my HEREDOC syntax: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/264855/
[14:02] <j0nr> oh bugger...I'm sorry I've been posting in the wrong channel!
[14:02]  * popey thought this
[14:02] <popey> :)
[14:02] <rye> j0nr, :)
[14:03] <j0nr> :)
[14:05]  * rye has just read the original question
[18:28] <duanedesign> off for a bit, everyone have a great afternoon
[22:31] <j0nr> I bought some music in the ubuntuone music store. it is in my rythymbox library, but where is it on my hard drive? Its not in my ubuntuone folder
[22:31] <kklimonda> j0nr: $HOME/.ubuntuone afair
[22:32] <j0nr> why .ubuntuone not just ubuntuone
[22:32] <duffydack> thats one feature I can live without..it should be in your designated music folder, complete with artist/album name from id tags,
[22:33] <duffydack> but thats just me.
[22:33] <kklimonda> duffydack: it's impossible to do that right now
[22:33] <duffydack> thats fair enough.. just wish it wasnt so .hidden though.
[22:34] <kklimonda> what I'd like to be able to do is edit music metadata without U1 deciding I have removed file. Or maybe it's rename?
[22:35] <rye> duffydack, basically it is UDF and since all UDF have to be at the same place everywhere to be synced without hacks it was created as a hidden folder to let you disable that UDF if you don't need that on some of your machines
