| head_victim | chesty: 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_victim | In case you were still looking and after experience. | 01:26 |
| head_victim | Can 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 off | 02:01 |
| bwright | Hey 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 file | 05:57 |
| 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 |
| bwright | Cheers | 06:02 |
| MoLE_ | welcome | 06:02 |
| bwright | There 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 |
| bwright | Local box so I was not too concerned about it | 06:03 |
| MoLE_ | enjoy then... | 06:04 |
| bwright | mmm pressing escape results in constant beeping | 06:05 |
| MoLE_ | ow. | 06:06 |
| MoLE_ | Wait until after POST perhaps? | 06:06 |
| bwright | I think it is server addition | 06:07 |
| bwright | soor edition | 06:08 |
| bwright | ok grub loading. | 06:08 |
| MoLE_ | cool | 06:08 |
| bwright | Still beeping :/ But hopefully grub gives me some love | 06:09 |
| MoLE_ | which version? Hardy, Lucid or Maverick? | 06:09 |
| bwright | 9.10 | 06:10 |
| MoLE_ | Karmic? interesting. | 06:11 |
| bwright | It is just a hack box. | 06:11 |
| bwright | Read doco going to try get it working | 06:12 |
| MoLE_ | I think from Lucid onwards, you need to hold down shift for the grub menu (grub2 vs grub1) | 06:12 |
| bwright | This is funny | 06:14 |
| bwright | I am logged in as root | 06:14 |
| bwright | But every second line it then prompts me for a user and password | 06:14 |
| bwright | it seems the login term has bleed into the stdout of this screen | 06:15 |
| MoLE_ | weird. | 06:15 |
| MoLE_ | big keyboard buffer | 06:15 |
| bwright | got just enough time to adduser name admin | 06:16 |
| bwright | :p | 06:16 |
| MoLE_ | wd | 06:17 |
| bwright | I am probably going to run an upgrade on it. | 06:17 |
| bwright | pew pew it is all working after a lot of beeping thanks MoLE_ | 06:19 |
| MoLE_ | sounds like hours of fun np bwright | 06:19 |
| chesty | head_victim: ta | 08:31 |
| elky | head_victim, geekosophical.net/ubuntuau-bizcard.tar.gz should have the fixed images. let me know if the image is still not embedded properly | 09:08 |
| head_victim | chesty: no worries | 09:17 |
| head_victim | elky: thanks | 09:17 |
| head_victim | elky: am I allowed to put that on the wiki or did you want to do the honours? | 09:18 |
| elky | head_victim, you can, i'm working on a poster sized version for you | 09:19 |
| head_victim | elky: awesome | 09:19 |
| elky | head_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_victim | elky: thanks heaps, I'll upload to the wiki shortly. I have just composed an email to the list | 09:38 |
| elky | i'll stop playing with it now or i'll be telling you i improved it moar every 5 minutes | 09:38 |
| head_victim | Hahaha yeah I'm a bit like that. I wrote up my resume this afternoon | 09:39 |
| elky | how many times? | 09:39 |
| head_victim | Hah well I already had all the content written up but wording and visual stuff still took over 4 hours | 09:40 |
| elky | because you rewrote it all again? :P | 09:40 |
| head_victim | Several times | 09:40 |
| elky | hehe | 09:40 |
| head_victim | My wiki page made it on there though | 09:41 |
| head_victim | elky: how about we leave the card as single sided? | 09:44 |
| head_victim | Or do you think it adds enough to justify inclusion? | 09:45 |
| elky | head_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 side | 09:45 |
| head_victim | Ok well I'll get both priced and see how it ends up | 09:46 |
| head_victim | Ok both up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Artwork now, thanks heaps | 09:50 |
| head_victim | MoLE_: 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 do | 10:07 |

| head_victim | Sure, content is always good | 13:24 |

| head_victim | I'm not sure how stable the new light theme is in drupal but I haven't really looked into it. | 13:24 |

| nisshh | gorilla, hehe, just starting to get the word out there, hoping to get some response to it ;) | 13:52 |
| gorilla | nisshh: it's a matter of momentum... Difficult to get the ball rolling initially but gets easier. | 13:53 |
| nisshh | gorilla, yeah, exactly, good to see you doing the same on facebook :) | 13:53 |
