nigelbpopey: I've been tasked with asking you to confirm topic :)06:46
popeynigelb: lucky you!10:19
nigelbpopey: hehe10:20
nigelbpopey: We do have one suggestion from feedback last time.10:20
popeyoh?10:20
nigelbpopey: Recovery10:20
nigelb"If there was a session on recovery it would have been great."10:21
popeydefine recovery?10:22
nigelbprobably recovering from data loss10:22
nigelbhrm, was it you that did a 'DON'T PANIC' session?10:23
popey"Restore from your most recent backup"10:23
popeyEnd of lesson10:23
popey:)10:23
popeyrecovery 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
nigelbyeah, that's what I mean10:23
nigelbpopey: also, tips on taking backup10:24
nigelblike rsync which not many users might now know would be good10:24
popeyah ok10:24
nigelbsmall scripts that could help10:24
popeythose are two separate things really.. "Backup and restore" and "How to fix a broken machine"?10:24
nigelbyes, they are.  I realized now.10:24
popeyboth would be interesting I guess :)10:25
nigelbyou have the previlege of chosing whcih one you want to do :D10:25
popeyYou're too kind.10:25
popeyI like the sound of both :)10:26
nigelbHow do you want me to title it?10:27
nigelb'Don't Panic, just hold on to a towel autographed by popey'? ;)10:27
popeylet me have a think and poke me later on today10:27
popeybut it will be along the lines of "How to fix a broken machine"10:28
nigelbheh :)10:28
nigelbI'll update the title as that for now, poke me if you want to change it :)10:28
nigelbpopey: btw, you prefer morning/evening/afternoon?10:29
popeyits a saturday isn't it?10:29
nigelbYeah10:29
popeyI need to figure out if my daughter has ballet that day.10:32
nigelbouch10:33
popeyoh its okay, its usually for only an hour or so10:35
popeyI just need to make sure I'm not putting myself down for the hour that I'm supposed to be taking her dancing10:36
popey:)10:36
popeywill check10:36
nigelb:)10:37
nigelbthat reminds me10:37

popeyok10:38
duanedesign__morning all12:04
nigelbduanedesign__: hrm, how come you're logged in via freenode?12:10
nigelberm, webchat.freenode12:11
duanedesign__gotta spend another day on my Windows machine, yuk12:11
nigelbyou need putty my friend12:11
duanedesign__need to get my ssh key on this machine so i can log into my server and use my irc client12:11
duanedesign__I d/l putty and it took me a second to figure out why it wouldnt let me connect12:12
duanedesign__:P12:12
duanedesign__How do people live with only one workspace!!12:13
duanedesign__driving me batty12:13
duanedesign__i keep hitting Ctrl + Alt + right/left arrow key12:13
topylithere are/used to be nifty little freeware utilities to get you virtual desktop12:14
duanedesign__aha12:15
topylivirtuawin is still around apparently, gpl to boot :)12:18
duanedesign__topyli: awesome12:20
duanedesign__topyli: i am installing it now :)12:21
topylii used to have a windows box once :)12:21
duanedesign__this is great thank you12:22
knomehow do people live with windows?!12:22
duanedesign__i have ni idea, lol12:23
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
knomeme too, but i run it under virtualbox12:24
knomethat way it's a bit more manageable12:24
duanedesign__knome: I need to try that and see how it runs12:24
knome(and you can still enjoy all the ubuntu luxury)12:24
knomevbox 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 ideal12:25
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
knomeof course, ymmv12:26

dholbachgood morning14:41
paultagmorning dh14:41
paultagdholbach: how's your sprint?14:41
dholbachhey paultag14:42
dholbachgreat - going to be a very busy week - how's life for you?14:42
nigelbhey dholbach, hows tx? :)14:43
paultagdholbach: OK. job hunting and such, not too bad.14:43
dholbachnigelb, quite cold :)14:45
nigelbdholbach: compared to Berlin? ;)14:46
nigelbI thought you had a snowy new year14:46
dholbachyes, when I left Berlin it was around 8°C, here it's -2°C, not quite what I expected14:46
nigelbouch, that's bad14:46
knomewhere's "here"?14:46

nigelbNote to self, looking at flickr when hungry is counter productive; http://www.flickr.com/photos/caribb/5290132583/14:53
nigelbhey ara, jono14:56
arahey nigelb14:56
jonohey nigelb14:56
paultagJFo: poke15:48
JFoheya paultag15:49
paultagJFo: how's life this morning?15:49
JFonot too bad15:49
paultaggreat :)15:49
JFoyourself?15:49
paultagJFo: not too bad. Missed my coffee, so not as good as it could be ;)15:49
paultagJFo: I was just talking with ScottL about the low-lag kerenl for natty -- know anything?15:50
JFoI can imagine15:50
JFoyou mean like the -rt or -preempt kernels?15:50
paultagJFo: -lowlatency15:50
paultagJFo: for ubuntu studio15:50
JFoyeah, I know a little bit about the situation15:50
paultagJFo: anything that might help our whining?15:50
JFonot anything I can think of15:51
paultaghaha, well I guess nothing execpt an upload will kill the whining ;)15:51
JFothe 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 needed15:51
paultagJFo: is there anyone working on it or is it not really a target for natty?15:51
paultaghumm.15:51
JFothere isn't a target for the kernel team15:51
paultagJFo: so it's on us15:52
JFowe just don't have the resources to do it15:52
JFounfortunnately yes :-/15:52
paultagOK, cool. Thanks, JFo15:52
JFomy pleasure15:52
JFowish I could help some more15:52
JFobut I took a look at the effort and it is rather massive15:52
ScottLjono, 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
jonoScottL, heya pal, sorry, had no time - I moved house and my drums are not set up yet17:03
ScottLno problem, enjoy the new house :)17:04

JanChm, the team reports in UWN are stuck in October last year?20:11
pleia2october and november were included in the latest UWN20:15
pleia2the october report wasn't complete when the last issue went out (early november)20:16
JanCeh?20:21
JanCwhat I mean is that there are October reports in the December issue that was released in January ?20:22
pleia2issue 217 was released on november 7th, the october reports weren't done, so they weren't included20:22
pleia2they were included in 218 instead, which we just released20:23
JanCissue #218 only includes October reports though...20:23
JanCnot November & December20:23
pleia2it includes october and november20:23
pleia2december reports weren't done yet, they will be included in the next issue20:24
JanCfor ubuntu-be and the other locoteams I see it only includes October?20:25
pleia2https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news/2011-January/000296.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue218 both show October and November20:25
pleia2not sure what you're looking at20:25
pleia2is it a translated version?20:26
JanCoh, they are further down, sorry20:26
JanCokay, I was checking and saw only October dates, was wondering what was happening, that's clear now  ;)20:28
pleia2it's just because the UWN wasn't published for several weeks in nov-dec20:28
JanCand will also forward to another person who was confused  ☺20:29
JanCpleia2: thanks for explaining BTW  ☺20:31
pleia2sure20:31
nigelbgah, JanC's special smiley shows up as ? for me :/20:32
JanCnigelb: using bitmap fonts?20:33
nigelbterminal :/20:33
nigelbmy server isnt getting utc right20:33
JanCgnome-terminal & konsole should be able to show it20:34
nigelbmy terminal is fine20:34
nigelbbut i started irssi before i fixed the utc issue20:34
JanCserver is not utf-8 ?20:34
nigelblazy to kill irssi just to get utf8 :p20:34
JanCwhat piece of antique did you install to get no utf-8 ?  ;)20:35
nigelbubuntu 10.04 :-P20:35
JanChuh?20:35
nigelblol20:35
nigelbcustom image from rackspace cloud ;)20:36
JanCubuntu has been utf-8 by default for at least 5 years...20:36
* JanC wonders why people break things like that20:37
PiciI remember going through some hoops getting irssi, screen, and putty all setup to work nicely with utf-820:37
JanCputty isn't utf-8 by default IIRC, but then again, that's Windows...  ;)20:38
