[01:26] <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.
[02:01] <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
[05:57] <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
[06:00] <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.
[06:02] <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 ...
[06:03] <MoLE_> may as well update the kernel as well.
[06:03] <bwright> Local box so I was not too concerned about it
[06:04] <MoLE_> enjoy then...
[06:05] <bwright> mmm pressing escape results in constant beeping
[06:06] <MoLE_> ow.
[06:06] <MoLE_> Wait until after POST perhaps?
[06:07] <bwright> I think it is server addition
[06:08] <bwright> soor edition
[06:08] <bwright> ok grub loading.
[06:08] <MoLE_> cool
[06:09] <bwright> Still beeping :/ But hopefully grub gives me some love
[06:09] <MoLE_> which version?  Hardy, Lucid or Maverick?
[06:10] <bwright> 9.10
[06:11] <MoLE_> Karmic?  interesting.
[06:11] <bwright> It is just a hack box.
[06:12] <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)
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <bwright> it seems the login term has bleed into the stdout of this screen
[06:15] <MoLE_> weird.
[06:15] <MoLE_> big keyboard buffer
[06:16] <bwright> got just enough time to adduser name admin
[06:16] <bwright> :p
[06:17] <MoLE_> wd
[06:17] <bwright> I am probably going to run an upgrade on it.
[06:19] <bwright> pew pew it is all working after a lot of beeping thanks MoLE_ 
[06:19] <MoLE_> sounds like hours of fun np bwright 
[08:31] <chesty> head_victim: ta
[09:08] <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
[09:17] <head_victim> chesty: no worries
[09:17] <head_victim> elky: thanks
[09:18] <head_victim> elky: am I allowed to put that on the wiki or did you want to do the honours?
[09:19] <elky> head_victim, you can, i'm working on a poster sized version for you
[09:19] <head_victim> elky: awesome
[09:37] <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.
[09:38] <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
[09:39] <head_victim> Hahaha yeah I'm a bit like that. I wrote up my resume this afternoon
[09:39] <elky> how many times?
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <head_victim> My wiki page made it on there though
[09:44] <head_victim> elky: how about we leave the card as single sided?
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <head_victim> Ok well I'll get both priced and see how it ends up
[09:50] <head_victim> Ok both up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Artwork now, thanks heaps
[09:53] <head_victim> MoLE_: might be a good place to add your poster to if you're interested when you get a chance.
[10:07] <MoLE_> thanks head_victim will do
[13:17] <gorilla> Hi All, Just wondering if it is too early to make mention of Ubuntu having a table at the Linux.Conf.Au 2011 open day?
[13:17] <head_victim> gorilla: we have one int he works already :)
[13:17] <nisshh> gorilla, i think head_victim confirmed at the last meeting that the LCA organisers had reserved us a table
[13:18] <nisshh> lol, too quick for me :)
[13:18] <gorilla> soory.. I meant on facebook.
[13:18] <gorilla> sorry rather.
[13:19] <nisshh> oh ok
[13:19] <nisshh> :)
[13:19] <head_victim> Nah go for it. 
[13:19] <nisshh> gorilla, my bad, i didnt understand what you said at first :)
[13:19] <gorilla> I was in the IRC channel last tuesday for the meating^wmeeting. ;-)
[13:19] <gorilla> nisshh: it's okay.. I should have been more consise at this hour.
[13:20] <nisshh> gorilla, no, it was me, i just got back from a party with 2 beers and a wine in me :)
[13:20] <nisshh> not that im drunk, just a bit out of it :)
[13:21] <gorilla> your buzzed :-)
[13:21] <nisshh> head_victim, as soon as blahdehblah gets on irc next, ill be sorting out the website with him too :)
[13:22] <nisshh> gorilla, hehe :)
[13:22] <head_victim> Just mention how the planning is going on the social media, get people signing up to the event on the wiki and or http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/587/detail/
[13:22] <head_victim> nisshh: sounds good :)
[13:22] <nisshh> gonna see whats going on with the new branding/theme and also get some good content and info on their and get existing content organised
[13:24] <head_victim> Sure, content is always good
[13:24] <gorilla> Facebook event added for the Ubuntu table at LCA2011!
[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.
[13:25] <nisshh> head_victim, yeah, thats what i heard, but that was a while ago, gonna see what what now
[13:32]  * nisshh just dented about LCA :)
[13:51] <gorilla> nisshh: excellent!
[13:52] <nisshh> gorilla, hehe, just starting to get the word out there, hoping to get some response to it ;)
[13:53] <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 :)
[14:00] <gorilla> nisshh: Some people watch something happens, some make it happen, others say what happened. :-)
[14:00] <nisshh> gorilla, hehe, ill drink to that! :)
[14:00] <gorilla> I prefer to be in the middle group.
[14:01] <nisshh> so do i :)
[14:01] <gorilla> :-D
[14:03] <nisshh> gorilla, in the ubuntuaustralia group on identica, its mostly just me and somewhat quail denting to the group :)
[14:03] <gorilla> Actually that's not quite true. I'll give it some time for someone to volunteer themselves, but if there is more talk than action, I'll take up the task myself.
[14:03] <nisshh> yeah
[14:04] <gorilla> nisshh: Ahhh.
[14:04] <gorilla> email announcement of event is now on facebook has been sent.
[14:04] <nisshh> gorilla, kind of sad considering there are about 8 of us using identica :)
[14:05] <gorilla> heh :-)
