| seidos | so i'm trying out 10.10 from a pressed cd. first time after clicking "try ubuntu" the "processing icon" just looped | 16:51 |
| seidos | it's working from a second attempt | 16:51 |
| seidos | i wonder if i should create a bug for that glitch | 16:52 |
| seidos | anyway, doesn't matter, the whole point was to upgrade to 10.04...better get working on that. | 16:53 |
| jtatum | ok | 16:57 |

| MarkDude | What do folks think of carrying apps on a usb drive? | 19:57 |
| akk | I think it makes a lot of sense. | 19:59 |
| MarkDude | Me too | 19:59 |
| akk | For some apps it doesn't work so well, because they keep a lot of state (eclipse, openoffice) | 19:59 |
| akk | but for others it works great. | 19:59 |
| * MarkDude was doing the same thing using wine for the native MS pertable apps | 20:00 | |
| MarkDude | yep, like gpoddder would be great to have installed on a device | 20:00 |
| akk | Portable apps are much easier on linux than on MS. | 20:00 |
| akk | Most of them can be run in-place, without running some kind of installer first. | 20:00 |
| akk | Or you can run a wrapper script that resets $HOME or comparable env variables. | 20:01 |
| MarkDude | that is the intersting part to me | 20:03 |
| MarkDude | use of ~ | 20:03 |
| akk | I'm in the middle of fighting that battle with eclipse -- trying to make an eclipse that isn't dependent on being in a particular user's homedir. | 20:04 |
| nhaines | akk: symlink? | 20:06 |
| akk | nhaines: I wondered if that might work, but the problem is, when you run it it writes various absolute paths in about 50 different places. | 20:08 |
| akk | So even if you have a symlink, it might follow the symlink and write the real path, not the symlink one | 20:08 |
| akk | so what I'm trying first is seeing if I can remove all the dirs that include those paths (and git exclude them) so eclipse will regenerate them for each user. | 20:09 |

| MarkDude | akk I ran into the home problem trying to make a custom Severed Fifth install, I needed to have it write to various parts of $home | 21:08 |
| MarkDude | There were too many variables that could mess it up, so i decided not to make something that was broken :) | 21:09 |
| akk | Things like that can get fiddly, for sure. | 21:13 |

| erichammond | I could bring to SCALE a Linksys WRT54GS (4 ports + wireless-G). | 22:43 |
| erichammond | Were folks looking for something more substantial or would that be helpful? | 22:43 |
| MarkDude | erichammond, it wont take up much space.. even if not used :) | 22:44 |

| pleia2 | erichammond: I think that'll be sufficient :) | 23:41 |

| erichammond | My company can print a hundred or so 8.5"x11" foldable paper sleeves once somebody figures out the final new design. | 23:46 |
| erichammond | Random thought: I use Ubuntu to control some networked digital security cameras at work. If there was a spare computer, I might be able to set up a demo of such a security system with a couple cameras at the booth using open source software. | 23:52 |
| pleia2 | that would be really cool | 23:53 |
