| nigelb | popey: I've been tasked with asking you to confirm topic :) | 06:46 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | nigelb: lucky you! | 10:19 |
| nigelb | popey: hehe | 10:20 |
| nigelb | popey: We do have one suggestion from feedback last time. | 10:20 |
| popey | oh? | 10:20 |
| nigelb | popey: Recovery | 10:20 |
| nigelb | "If there was a session on recovery it would have been great." | 10:21 |
| popey | define recovery? | 10:22 |
| nigelb | probably recovering from data loss | 10:22 |
| nigelb | hrm, was it you that did a 'DON'T PANIC' session? | 10:23 |
| popey | "Restore from your most recent backup" | 10:23 |
| popey | End of lesson | 10:23 |
| popey | :) | 10:23 |
| popey | recovery might also mean "fix the system when you get a black screen on boot, or when it can't mount the root filesystem? | 10:23 |
| nigelb | yeah, that's what I mean | 10:23 |
| nigelb | popey: also, tips on taking backup | 10:24 |
| nigelb | like rsync which not many users might now know would be good | 10:24 |
| popey | ah ok | 10:24 |
| nigelb | small scripts that could help | 10:24 |
| popey | those are two separate things really.. "Backup and restore" and "How to fix a broken machine"? | 10:24 |
| nigelb | yes, they are. I realized now. | 10:24 |
| popey | both would be interesting I guess :) | 10:25 |
| nigelb | you have the previlege of chosing whcih one you want to do :D | 10:25 |
| popey | You're too kind. | 10:25 |
| popey | I like the sound of both :) | 10:26 |
| nigelb | How do you want me to title it? | 10:27 |
| nigelb | 'Don't Panic, just hold on to a towel autographed by popey'? ;) | 10:27 |
| popey | let me have a think and poke me later on today | 10:27 |
| popey | but it will be along the lines of "How to fix a broken machine" | 10:28 |
| nigelb | heh :) | 10:28 |
| nigelb | I'll update the title as that for now, poke me if you want to change it :) | 10:28 |
| nigelb | popey: btw, you prefer morning/evening/afternoon? | 10:29 |
| popey | its a saturday isn't it? | 10:29 |
| nigelb | Yeah | 10:29 |
| popey | I need to figure out if my daughter has ballet that day. | 10:32 |
| nigelb | ouch | 10:33 |
| popey | oh its okay, its usually for only an hour or so | 10:35 |
| popey | I just need to make sure I'm not putting myself down for the hour that I'm supposed to be taking her dancing | 10:36 |
| popey | :) | 10:36 |
| popey | will check | 10:36 |
| nigelb | :) | 10:37 |
| nigelb | that reminds me | 10:37 |
| nigelb | I need to find back up people | 10:37 |
| popey | right, sent mail to wifey to find out ballet schedule, won't know until this evening my time. | 10:38 |
| nigelb | just poke lyz if I'm not around :) | 10:38 |
| popey | ok | 10:38 |
| duanedesign__ | morning all | 12:04 |
| nigelb | duanedesign__: hrm, how come you're logged in via freenode? | 12:10 |
| nigelb | erm, webchat.freenode | 12:11 |
| duanedesign__ | gotta spend another day on my Windows machine, yuk | 12:11 |
| nigelb | you need putty my friend | 12:11 |
| duanedesign__ | need to get my ssh key on this machine so i can log into my server and use my irc client | 12:11 |
| duanedesign__ | I d/l putty and it took me a second to figure out why it wouldnt let me connect | 12:12 |
| duanedesign__ | :P | 12:12 |
| duanedesign__ | How do people live with only one workspace!! | 12:13 |
| duanedesign__ | driving me batty | 12:13 |
| duanedesign__ | i keep hitting Ctrl + Alt + right/left arrow key | 12:13 |
| topyli | there are/used to be nifty little freeware utilities to get you virtual desktop | 12:14 |
| duanedesign__ | aha | 12:15 |
| topyli | virtuawin is still around apparently, gpl to boot :) | 12:18 |
| duanedesign__ | topyli: awesome | 12:20 |
| duanedesign__ | topyli: i am installing it now :) | 12:21 |
| topyli | i used to have a windows box once :) | 12:21 |
| duanedesign__ | this is great thank you | 12:22 |
| knome | how do people live with windows?! | 12:22 |
| duanedesign__ | i have ni idea, lol | 12:23 |
| duanedesign__ | no* | 12:23 |
| duanedesign__ | i have to keep a version for a proprietary app I use for work. Everytime I boot into it I get so frustrated. | 12:24 |
| knome | me too, but i run it under virtualbox | 12:24 |
| knome | that way it's a bit more manageable | 12:24 |
| duanedesign__ | knome: I need to try that and see how it runs | 12:24 |
| knome | (and you can still enjoy all the ubuntu luxury) | 12:24 |
| knome | vbox is very nice. if you're low/tight on resources, it might not be for you, but if you have some memory to spare, then it might be ideal | 12:25 |
| knome | (i allocate 4GB RAM to vbox so i can make sure photoshop runs smoothly even when i'm working with a tad larger files) | 12:26 |
| knome | of course, ymmv | 12:26 |

| paultag | morning, folks | 14:08 |
| paultag | how goes? | 14:08 |
| nigelb | oh, look, its a paultag ;) | 14:39 |
| paultag | heyya | 14:40 |
| dholbach | good morning | 14:41 |
| paultag | morning dh | 14:41 |
| paultag | dholbach: how's your sprint? | 14:41 |
| dholbach | hey paultag | 14:42 |
| dholbach | great - going to be a very busy week - how's life for you? | 14:42 |
| nigelb | hey dholbach, hows tx? :) | 14:43 |
| paultag | dholbach: OK. job hunting and such, not too bad. | 14:43 |
| dholbach | nigelb, quite cold :) | 14:45 |
| nigelb | dholbach: compared to Berlin? ;) | 14:46 |
| nigelb | I thought you had a snowy new year | 14:46 |
| dholbach | yes, when I left Berlin it was around 8°C, here it's -2°C, not quite what I expected | 14:46 |
| nigelb | ouch, that's bad | 14:46 |
| knome | where's "here"? | 14:46 |
| nigelb | Dallas | 14:46 |
| knome | right | 14:47 |
| nigelb | Note to self, looking at flickr when hungry is counter productive; http://www.flickr.com/photos/caribb/5290132583/ | 14:53 |
| nigelb | hey ara, jono | 14:56 |
| ara | hey nigelb | 14:56 |
| jono | hey nigelb | 14:56 |
| paultag | JFo: poke | 15:48 |
| JFo | heya paultag | 15:49 |
| paultag | JFo: how's life this morning? | 15:49 |
| JFo | not too bad | 15:49 |
| paultag | great :) | 15:49 |
| JFo | yourself? | 15:49 |
| paultag | JFo: not too bad. Missed my coffee, so not as good as it could be ;) | 15:49 |
| paultag | JFo: I was just talking with ScottL about the low-lag kerenl for natty -- know anything? | 15:50 |
| JFo | I can imagine | 15:50 |
| JFo | you mean like the -rt or -preempt kernels? | 15:50 |
| paultag | JFo: -lowlatency | 15:50 |
| paultag | JFo: for ubuntu studio | 15:50 |
| JFo | yeah, I know a little bit about the situation | 15:50 |
| paultag | JFo: anything that might help our whining? | 15:50 |
| JFo | not anything I can think of | 15:51 |
| paultag | haha, well I guess nothing execpt an upload will kill the whining ;) | 15:51 |
| JFo | the final verdict I have been told is that it is a community effort due in large part to the non-trivial nature of the patch needed | 15:51 |
| paultag | JFo: is there anyone working on it or is it not really a target for natty? | 15:51 |
| paultag | humm. | 15:51 |
| JFo | there isn't a target for the kernel team | 15:51 |
| paultag | JFo: so it's on us | 15:52 |
| JFo | we just don't have the resources to do it | 15:52 |
| JFo | unfortunnately yes :-/ | 15:52 |
| paultag | OK, cool. Thanks, JFo | 15:52 |
| JFo | my pleasure | 15:52 |
| JFo | wish I could help some more | 15:52 |
| JFo | but I took a look at the effort and it is rather massive | 15:52 |
| ScottL | jono, we spoke about week ago about you possibly recording some drums for a song, any progress? or will you be too busy? (i understand if it's the later, just need to know a direction to go) | 16:18 |
| jono | ScottL, heya pal, sorry, had no time - I moved house and my drums are not set up yet | 17:03 |
| ScottL | no problem, enjoy the new house :) | 17:04 |
| popey | nigelb: confirmation from wifey that Sophie does have ballet, so I'd prefer a slot after 13:30 UTC please | 18:04 |
| nigelb | popey: okay :) | 18:06 |
| popey | thanks | 18:07 |
| nigelb | 'I've just been jono'd' HAHA | 19:03 |
| nigelb | kim0: that was a fun way to put it ;) | 19:03 |
| sense | good evening | 19:12 |
| JanC | hm, the team reports in UWN are stuck in October last year? | 20:11 |
| pleia2 | october and november were included in the latest UWN | 20:15 |
| pleia2 | the october report wasn't complete when the last issue went out (early november) | 20:16 |
| JanC | eh? | 20:21 |
| JanC | what I mean is that there are October reports in the December issue that was released in January ? | 20:22 |
| pleia2 | issue 217 was released on november 7th, the october reports weren't done, so they weren't included | 20:22 |
| pleia2 | they were included in 218 instead, which we just released | 20:23 |
| JanC | issue #218 only includes October reports though... | 20:23 |
| JanC | not November & December | 20:23 |
| pleia2 | it includes october and november | 20:23 |
| pleia2 | december reports weren't done yet, they will be included in the next issue | 20:24 |
| JanC | for ubuntu-be and the other locoteams I see it only includes October? | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news/2011-January/000296.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue218 both show October and November | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | not sure what you're looking at | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | is it a translated version? | 20:26 |
| JanC | oh, they are further down, sorry | 20:26 |
| JanC | okay, I was checking and saw only October dates, was wondering what was happening, that's clear now ;) | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | it's just because the UWN wasn't published for several weeks in nov-dec | 20:28 |
| JanC | and will also forward to another person who was confused ☺ | 20:29 |
| JanC | pleia2: thanks for explaining BTW ☺ | 20:31 |
| pleia2 | sure | 20:31 |
| nigelb | gah, JanC's special smiley shows up as ? for me :/ | 20:32 |
| JanC | nigelb: using bitmap fonts? | 20:33 |
| nigelb | terminal :/ | 20:33 |
| nigelb | my server isnt getting utc right | 20:33 |
| JanC | gnome-terminal & konsole should be able to show it | 20:34 |
| nigelb | my terminal is fine | 20:34 |
| nigelb | but i started irssi before i fixed the utc issue | 20:34 |
| JanC | server is not utf-8 ? | 20:34 |
| nigelb | lazy to kill irssi just to get utf8 :p | 20:34 |
| JanC | what piece of antique did you install to get no utf-8 ? ;) | 20:35 |
| nigelb | ubuntu 10.04 :-P | 20:35 |
| JanC | huh? | 20:35 |
| nigelb | lol | 20:35 |
| nigelb | custom image from rackspace cloud ;) | 20:36 |
| JanC | ubuntu has been utf-8 by default for at least 5 years... | 20:36 |
| * JanC wonders why people break things like that | 20:37 | |
| Pici | I remember going through some hoops getting irssi, screen, and putty all setup to work nicely with utf-8 | 20:37 |
| JanC | putty isn't utf-8 by default IIRC, but then again, that's Windows... ;) | 20:38 |
| akgraner | jcastro, got a sec - it's about Banshee stuffs | 20:51 |
| jcastro | yep | 20:52 |

| JFo | I missed a key when typing it | 20:54 |
| jcastro | akgraner: wait what? report bugs to me? | 20:54 |
| jcastro | no lol, report it to launchpad | 20:54 |
| nhandler | jcastro: So you aren't volunteering to fix each and every bug that gets reported about banshee by yourself ? :( | 20:55 |
| jcastro | heh | 20:55 |
| jcastro | when are they? | 20:56 |
| nigelb | Darn, I thought you loved Banshee ;) | 20:56 |
| jcastro | when are my sessions nhandler? | 20:56 |
| nhandler | jcastro: You signed up to do a Unity session with Dbo and a 'What's cooking in Ubuntu session'. UUD is January 29-30 | 20:57 |
| nhandler | So basically whatever time works best for you | 20:57 |
| jcastro | oh, I'll figure it out | 20:57 |

| JFo | jcastro, ok | 21:20 |
