head_victimchesty: I use Gnubiff now I use it on lxde and I have also used "mail notification" when I was using it with gnome. Both are pretty customisable and the mail notification is a system tray icon.01:26
head_victimIn case you were still looking and after experience.01:26
head_victimCan anyone please have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Artwork and see if the busienss card looks ok? When I open the file locally it works fine but when I look at it in my webbrowser it appears to chop some of the ubuntu logo in the top right hand corner off02:01
bwrightHey how do I boot ubuntu into root terminal at startup? iirc it can be done with physical access to the machine. Need to add myself to the sudoers file05:57
MoLE_bwright, this can be done from "recovery mode" .  Hold down esc at boot to get the grub menu and you can then pick recovery mode.06:00
bwrightCheers06:02
MoLE_welcome06:02
bwrightThere goes my 200 day uptime :(06:02
MoLE_you were going to reboot anyway weren't you ...06:02
MoLE_may as well update the kernel as well.06:03
bwrightLocal box so I was not too concerned about it06:03
MoLE_enjoy then...06:04
bwrightmmm pressing escape results in constant beeping06:05
MoLE_ow.06:06
MoLE_Wait until after POST perhaps?06:06
bwrightI think it is server addition06:07
bwrightsoor edition06:08
bwrightok grub loading.06:08
MoLE_cool06:08
bwrightStill beeping :/ But hopefully grub gives me some love06:09
MoLE_which version?  Hardy, Lucid or Maverick?06:09
bwright9.1006:10
MoLE_Karmic?  interesting.06:11
bwrightIt is just a hack box.06:11
bwrightRead doco going to try get it working06:12
MoLE_I think from Lucid onwards, you need to hold down shift for the grub menu (grub2 vs grub1)06:12
bwrightThis is funny06:14
bwrightI am logged in as root06:14
bwrightBut every second line it then prompts me for a user and password06:14
bwrightit seems the login term has bleed into the stdout of this screen06:15
MoLE_weird.06:15
MoLE_big keyboard buffer06:15
bwrightgot just enough time to adduser name admin06:16
bwright:p06:16
MoLE_wd06:17
bwrightI am probably going to run an upgrade on it.06:17
bwrightpew pew it is all working after a lot of beeping thanks MoLE_ 06:19
MoLE_sounds like hours of fun np bwright 06:19
chestyhead_victim: ta08:31
elkyhead_victim, geekosophical.net/ubuntuau-bizcard.tar.gz should have the fixed images. let me know if the image is still not embedded properly09:08
head_victimchesty: no worries09:17
head_victimelky: thanks09:17
head_victimelky: am I allowed to put that on the wiki or did you want to do the honours?09:18
elkyhead_victim, you can, i'm working on a poster sized version for you09:19
head_victimelky: awesome09:19
elkyhead_victim, ok, geekosophical.net/ubuntuau-poster.tar.gz and if you grab geekosophical.net/ubuntuau-bizcard.tar.gz again it should be moar improved with svg dots instead of the embedded bitmap, and a bit more orange at the top.09:37
head_victimelky: thanks heaps, I'll upload to the wiki shortly. I have just composed an email to the list09:38
elkyi'll stop playing with it now or i'll be telling you i improved it moar every 5 minutes09:38
head_victimHahaha yeah I'm a bit like that. I wrote up my resume this afternoon09:39
elkyhow many times?09:39
head_victimHah well I already had all the content written up but wording and visual stuff still took over 4 hours09:40
elkybecause you rewrote it all again? :P09:40
head_victimSeveral times09:40
elkyhehe09:40
head_victimMy wiki page made it on there though09:41
head_victimelky: how about we leave the card as single sided?09:44
head_victimOr do you think it adds enough to justify inclusion?09:45
elkyhead_victim, im in part mind about it. you're looking at getting an awful lot more cards than you're going to be using at this event, at a significant cost to yourself. I'd say just go single side09:45
head_victimOk well I'll get both priced and see how it ends up09:46
head_victimOk both up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Artwork now, thanks heaps09:50
head_victimMoLE_: might be a good place to add your poster to if you're interested when you get a chance.09:53
MoLE_thanks head_victim will do10:07
