[03:34] <KombuchaKip> Does anyone know what the point of the non-free Fluendo mp3 plugin for GStreamer is when there is already a plugin available?
[04:44] <dscassel> KombuchaKip: The "free" plugin violates patents. That's why it's in "ugly"
[04:45] <KombuchaKip> dscassel: I wonder if, politics aside, the Fluendo implementation is better for any of the codecs.
[04:46] <dscassel> Better or not, it's licensed.
[04:46]  * dscassel uses vorbis.
[04:48] <KombuchaKip> dscassel: I prefer theora / vorbis / speex / dirac etc, whenever I have a choice.
[05:17] <hakimsheriff> did any of you recieve my e-mail?
[05:25] <Madpilot> I saw it, hakimsheriff - haven't had a chance to follow the links yet
[05:26] <hakimsheriff> i really need the insert fast
[05:27] <hakimsheriff> i do not know how to make a good one
[05:30] <Madpilot> hakimsheriff, this is the one we used to use: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/Ubuntu_CA_insert.pdf
[05:31] <Madpilot> bilingual, but it does lack an Ubuntu Canada logo
[05:55] <MagicFab> txwikinger, ping
[05:57] <MagicFab> Madpilot, we need to get reciprocal links for ubuntu-qc <--> ubuntu-ca
[05:58] <Madpilot> MagicFab, we should. I'm not in charge of the .ca website anymore, though.
[06:01] <Madpilot> the whole link page seems to have not been ported over from the old site, in fact
[06:02] <Madpilot> we used to have links to -qc, and a bunch of other resources.
[14:52] <dscassel> hakimsheriff really needs to stay logged in.
[14:53] <dscassel> MagicFab: Yeah, definitely need linking back and forth.
[14:53] <dscassel> I may have some time today to sort some of this stuff out.
[14:53] <dscassel> (Merry Christmas, everybody. :)
[14:55] <dscassel> MagicFab: we can probabl give you access to the ubuntu-ca site to post updates or whatever.
[14:55] <MagicFab> dscassel, o/
[14:56] <MagicFab> dscassel, links would be first, then I was planning on adding your news as rss to ours
[14:58] <MagicFab> today I have zero time though
[14:58] <IdleOne> is there a point release today for 10.10?
[14:58] <IdleOne> I got 942 packages to upgrade
[14:59] <IdleOne> Happy Christmas :-)
[15:07] <dscassel> IdleOne: Only LTSes get point releases. 10.10 isn't LTS.
[15:07] <dscassel> Sometimes there are just a lot of fixes. :)
[15:08] <IdleOne> dscassel: that is what i thought, why do I have 942 packages to upgrade ?
[15:08] <IdleOne> dude! 942 of them since last night?
[15:08] <IdleOne> everybody got together and fixed Ubuntu yesterday lol
[15:09] <IdleOne> I suppose it's possible
[15:09] <IdleOne> I went ahead and hit enter anyway lol. won't be the first time I break my system.
[15:09] <dscassel> It only does an update every once in a while.
[15:09] <dscassel> So they've probably been building up.
[15:10] <IdleOne> I run them manually on a daily basis
[15:10] <IdleOne> used to running +1 so I check often
[15:10] <dscassel> Huhn.
[15:10] <dscassel> I'm not sure.
[15:10] <txwikinger> MagicFab: pong
[15:11] <IdleOne> only reason I am on 10.10 is because I am not happy with unity
[15:11] <dscassel> I'm currently running in a VM I created on my parents machine. I created it yesterday. :P
[15:11] <txwikinger> Merry Christmas dcassel
[15:11] <dscassel> Merry Christmas, txwikinger  :)
[15:11] <txwikinger> Merry Christmas dscassel
[15:12] <IdleOne> I started running +1 the day the tool chain got uploaded. I just don't like the Unity interface.
[15:12] <dscassel> IdleOne: Maybe your mirror was behind...
[15:12] <IdleOne> main Canadian mirror, usually up to date
[15:12] <IdleOne> but that is also possible
[15:13] <MagicFab> txwikinger, o/
[15:13] <txwikinger> hi MagicFab
[15:13] <txwikinger> Feliz navidad MagicFab
[15:13] <IdleOne> prospero ano i felicidad
[15:13] <MagicFab> txwikinger, just wanted to let you know I linked to your LibreOffice posts: http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/2010/12/24/libreoffice-est-ici-etes-vous-prets-getting-ready-for-libreoffice
[15:14] <txwikinger> MagicFab: cool thanks
[15:14] <MagicFab> search for your name (not your nick) - let me know if it's OK or you want any changes
[15:14] <IdleOne> MagicFab: we getting drunk next week?
[15:14] <MagicFab> IdleOne, * yeah
[15:14] <IdleOne> :-)
[15:14] <MagicFab> I mean yeah
[15:14] <MagicFab> :)
[15:14] <IdleOne> not to drunk though, I hate being hungover
[15:15] <txwikinger> MagicFab: Janke not Junke :)
[15:15] <MagicFab> ohhh ok ok :)
[15:15] <MagicFab> txwikinger, I knew I'd scren it somehow cut & paste at 4AM doesn't add up :)
[15:15] <txwikinger> rofl
[15:15] <IdleOne> vomos a tomar tequila!
[15:15] <IdleOne> vamos*
[15:16] <txwikinger> IdleOne: Don't drink the worm :)
[15:16] <IdleOne> txwikinger: the worm knows better :P
[15:16]  * MagicFab fixed it - tx. txwikinger !
[15:16] <txwikinger> MagicFab: cool
[15:16] <MagicFab> and it's Próspero Año y Felicidad
[15:16] <dscassel> IdleOne: The main Canadian mirror is the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club. I love those guys, but they're not professionals by any stretch. :)
[15:16] <MagicFab> otherwise ano means something else in Spanish, look it up ;)
[15:17] <IdleOne> lol I know
[15:17] <IdleOne> I don't know how to do the accents
[15:17] <IdleOne> dscassel: ah, that explains it
[15:17] <txwikinger> IdleOne: switch the compose key on
[15:18] <txwikinger> dscassel: I use iweb rather than UW.. it has better bandwidth
[15:18] <IdleOne> txwikinger: I don't type in Spanish often enough to bother :/me is lazy
[15:18] <IdleOne> I usually use savoirfaire but the mirror is slow sometimes
[15:18] <txwikinger> IdleOne: Well.. there are other languages benefiting from it too :0
[15:19] <IdleOne> txwikinger: true, but I don't normally type in French either.
[15:19] <IdleOne> my usage of accents is few and far between
[15:19] <txwikinger> IdleOne: I thought you are in Quebec
[15:19] <IdleOne> I am.
[15:21] <IdleOne> spent ten years in the US, "je me souviens pas"
[15:21] <IdleOne> heh
[15:23] <ZykoticK9> IdleOne, "Vive le Québec libre" first thing I said to you, lol.
[15:23] <IdleOne> ZykoticK9: haha yeah i remember
[15:25] <IdleOne> our home phones decided to stop working 2 days ago. Bell is supposed to be sending someone out today between the hours of 8am and 8pm. Talk about messing up my xmas shopping
[15:26] <IdleOne> So anyway, I was planning on buying you all a nice gift but I can't leave the house. Blame Bell for not getting any presents this year.
[15:37] <MagicFab> txwikinger, I use apt-cacher and automatic downloads - beats any faster mirrors :)
[16:17] <ZykoticK9> Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all in #ubuntu-ca.  Take care everyone.
[16:36] <IdleOne> thank you ZykoticK9 same to you.
[22:22] <IdleOne> dscassel: I figured out why I had 942 packages to upgrade, somehow apt thought I wanted to upgrade to 11.04
[22:22] <IdleOne> so now I am back on 11.04
[23:52] <HolaHolu> hey peeps
