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