[06:46] <nigelb> popey: I've been tasked with asking you to confirm topic :)
[10:19] <popey> nigelb: lucky you!
[10:20] <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
[10:21] <nigelb> "If there was a session on recovery it would have been great."
[10:22] <popey> define recovery?
[10:22] <nigelb> probably recovering from data loss
[10:23] <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
[10:24] <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.
[10:25] <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.
[10:26] <popey> I like the sound of both :)
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <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 :)
[10:29] <nigelb> popey: btw, you prefer morning/evening/afternoon?
[10:29] <popey> its a saturday isn't it?
[10:29] <nigelb> Yeah
[10:32] <popey> I need to figure out if my daughter has ballet that day.
[10:33] <nigelb> ouch
[10:35] <popey> oh its okay, its usually for only an hour or so
[10:36] <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
[10:37] <nigelb> :)
[10:37] <nigelb> that reminds me
[10:37] <nigelb> I need to find back up people
[10:38] <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
[12:04] <duanedesign__> morning all
[12:10] <nigelb> duanedesign__: hrm, how come you're logged in via freenode?
[12:11] <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
[12:12] <duanedesign__> I d/l putty and it took me a second to figure out why it wouldnt let me connect
[12:12] <duanedesign__> :P
[12:13] <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
[12:14] <topyli> there are/used to be nifty little freeware utilities to get you virtual desktop
[12:15] <duanedesign__> aha
[12:18] <topyli> virtuawin is still around apparently, gpl to boot :)
[12:20] <duanedesign__> topyli: awesome
[12:21] <duanedesign__> topyli: i am installing it now :)
[12:21] <topyli> i used to have a windows box once :)
[12:22] <duanedesign__> this is great thank you
[12:22] <knome> how do people live with windows?!
[12:23] <duanedesign__> i have ni idea, lol
[12:23] <duanedesign__> no*
[12:24] <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)
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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
[14:08] <paultag> morning, folks
[14:08] <paultag> how goes?
[14:39] <nigelb> oh, look, its a paultag ;)
[14:40] <paultag> heyya
[14:41] <dholbach> good morning
[14:41] <paultag> morning dh	
[14:41] <paultag> dholbach: how's your sprint?
[14:42] <dholbach> hey paultag
[14:42] <dholbach> great - going to be a very busy week - how's life for you?
[14:43] <nigelb> hey dholbach, hows tx? :)
[14:43] <paultag> dholbach: OK. job hunting and such, not too bad.
[14:45] <dholbach> nigelb, quite cold :)
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <knome> right
[14:53] <nigelb> Note to self, looking at flickr when hungry is counter productive; http://www.flickr.com/photos/caribb/5290132583/
[14:56] <nigelb> hey ara, jono
[14:56] <ara> hey nigelb
[14:56] <jono> hey nigelb
[15:48] <paultag> JFo: poke
[15:49] <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 ;)
[15:50] <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?
[15:51] <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
[15:52] <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
[16:18] <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)
[17:03] <jono> ScottL, heya pal, sorry, had no time - I moved house and my drums are not set up yet
[17:04] <ScottL> no problem, enjoy the new house :)
[18:04] <popey> nigelb: confirmation from wifey that Sophie does have ballet, so I'd prefer a slot after 13:30 UTC please
[18:06] <nigelb> popey: okay :)
[18:07] <popey> thanks
[19:03] <nigelb> 'I've just been jono'd' HAHA
[19:03] <nigelb> kim0: that was a fun way to put it ;)
[19:12] <sense> good evening
[20:11] <JanC> hm, the team reports in UWN are stuck in October last year?
[20:15] <pleia2> october and november were included in the latest UWN
[20:16] <pleia2> the october report wasn't complete when the last issue went out (early november)
[20:21] <JanC> eh?
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <pleia2> december reports weren't done yet, they will be included in the next issue
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <pleia2> is it a translated version?
[20:26] <JanC> oh, they are further down, sorry
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <JanC> and will also forward to another person who was confused  ☺
[20:31] <JanC> pleia2: thanks for explaining BTW  ☺
[20:31] <pleia2> sure
[20:32] <nigelb> gah, JanC's special smiley shows up as ? for me :/
[20:33] <JanC> nigelb: using bitmap fonts?
[20:33] <nigelb> terminal :/
[20:33] <nigelb> my server isnt getting utc right
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <nigelb> custom image from rackspace cloud ;)
[20:36] <JanC> ubuntu has been utf-8 by default for at least 5 years...
[20:37]  * 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
[20:38] <JanC> putty isn't utf-8 by default IIRC, but then again, that's Windows...  ;)
[20:51] <akgraner> jcastro, got a sec - it's about Banshee stuffs
[20:52] <jcastro> yep
[20:52] <jcastro> que tal
[20:52] <akgraner> your name was offered up as POC if people wanted to report issues
[20:52] <akgraner> I don't want to put your info out as POC for that on the Linux Pro Article if that's not totally correct...
[20:53] <JFo> oh man, jcastro jst passed out
[20:53] <nigelb> haha
[20:53] <JFo> that was so weird ;)
[20:53] <jcastro> eh?
[20:53] <nigelb> JFo: from shock? :p
[20:53] <jcastro> jst?
[20:53] <JFo> just kidding
[20:53] <JFo> yeah :-D
[20:54] <JFo> jcastro, it was supposed to be 'just'
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <nhandler> jcastro: So you aren't volunteering to fix each and every bug that gets reported about banshee by yourself ? :(
[20:55] <jcastro> heh
[20:56] <jcastro> when are they?
[20:56] <nigelb> Darn, I thought you loved Banshee ;)
[20:56] <jcastro> when are my sessions nhandler?
[20:57] <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] <jcastro> at a sprint at the moment
[20:58] <JFo> IF you smeeeeeeelllll, what the jcastro is cookin!!!
[20:58] <nhandler> jcastro: Alright. The sooner the better, as we want to finalize the schedule so we can start advertising and to give instructors plenty of notice
[21:20] <jcastro> JFo: I wanna interview you today
[21:20] <JFo> jcastro, ok
[21:20] <JFo> when?

[21:25] <nigelb> JFo: Oh, you're getting jcastro'd ;)

[21:25] <jcastro> JFo: come over in like an hour?
