[06:46] popey: I've been tasked with asking you to confirm topic :) [10:19] nigelb: lucky you! [10:20] popey: hehe [10:20] popey: We do have one suggestion from feedback last time. [10:20] oh? [10:20] popey: Recovery [10:21] "If there was a session on recovery it would have been great." [10:22] define recovery? [10:22] probably recovering from data loss [10:23] hrm, was it you that did a 'DON'T PANIC' session? [10:23] "Restore from your most recent backup" [10:23] End of lesson [10:23] :) [10:23] 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] yeah, that's what I mean [10:24] popey: also, tips on taking backup [10:24] like rsync which not many users might now know would be good [10:24] ah ok [10:24] small scripts that could help [10:24] those are two separate things really.. "Backup and restore" and "How to fix a broken machine"? [10:24] yes, they are. I realized now. [10:25] both would be interesting I guess :) [10:25] you have the previlege of chosing whcih one you want to do :D [10:25] You're too kind. [10:26] I like the sound of both :) [10:27] How do you want me to title it? [10:27] 'Don't Panic, just hold on to a towel autographed by popey'? ;) [10:27] let me have a think and poke me later on today [10:28] but it will be along the lines of "How to fix a broken machine" [10:28] heh :) [10:28] I'll update the title as that for now, poke me if you want to change it :) [10:29] popey: btw, you prefer morning/evening/afternoon? [10:29] its a saturday isn't it? [10:29] Yeah [10:32] I need to figure out if my daughter has ballet that day. [10:33] ouch [10:35] oh its okay, its usually for only an hour or so [10:36] 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] :) [10:36] will check [10:37] :) [10:37] that reminds me [10:37] I need to find back up people [10:38] right, sent mail to wifey to find out ballet schedule, won't know until this evening my time. [10:38] just poke lyz if I'm not around :) [10:38] ok [12:04] morning all [12:10] duanedesign__: hrm, how come you're logged in via freenode? [12:11] erm, webchat.freenode [12:11] gotta spend another day on my Windows machine, yuk [12:11] you need putty my friend [12:11] need to get my ssh key on this machine so i can log into my server and use my irc client [12:12] I d/l putty and it took me a second to figure out why it wouldnt let me connect [12:12] :P [12:13] How do people live with only one workspace!! [12:13] driving me batty [12:13] i keep hitting Ctrl + Alt + right/left arrow key [12:14] there are/used to be nifty little freeware utilities to get you virtual desktop [12:15] aha [12:18] virtuawin is still around apparently, gpl to boot :) [12:20] topyli: awesome [12:21] topyli: i am installing it now :) [12:21] i used to have a windows box once :) [12:22] this is great thank you [12:22] how do people live with windows?! [12:23] i have ni idea, lol [12:23] no* [12:24] 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] me too, but i run it under virtualbox [12:24] that way it's a bit more manageable [12:24] knome: I need to try that and see how it runs [12:24] (and you can still enjoy all the ubuntu luxury) [12:25] 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] (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] of course, ymmv === JanC_ is now known as JanC [14:08] morning, folks [14:08] how goes? [14:39] oh, look, its a paultag ;) [14:40] heyya [14:41] good morning [14:41] morning dh [14:41] dholbach: how's your sprint? [14:42] hey paultag [14:42] great - going to be a very busy week - how's life for you? [14:43] hey dholbach, hows tx? :) [14:43] dholbach: OK. job hunting and such, not too bad. [14:45] nigelb, quite cold :) [14:46] dholbach: compared to Berlin? ;) [14:46] I thought you had a snowy new year [14:46] yes, when I left Berlin it was around 8°C, here it's -2°C, not quite what I expected [14:46] ouch, that's bad [14:46] where's "here"? [14:46] Dallas [14:47] right [14:53] Note to self, looking at flickr when hungry is counter productive; http://www.flickr.com/photos/caribb/5290132583/ [14:56] hey ara, jono [14:56] hey nigelb [14:56] hey nigelb [15:48] JFo: poke [15:49] heya paultag [15:49] JFo: how's life this morning? [15:49] not too bad [15:49] great :) [15:49] yourself? [15:49] JFo: not too bad. Missed my coffee, so not as good as it could be ;) [15:50] JFo: I was just talking with ScottL about the low-lag kerenl for natty -- know anything? [15:50] I can imagine [15:50] you mean like the -rt or -preempt kernels? [15:50] JFo: -lowlatency [15:50] JFo: for ubuntu studio [15:50] yeah, I know a little bit about the situation [15:50] JFo: anything that might help our whining? [15:51] not anything I can think of [15:51] haha, well I guess nothing execpt an upload will kill the whining ;) [15:51] 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] JFo: is there anyone working on it or is it not really a target for natty? [15:51] humm. [15:51] there isn't a target for the kernel team [15:52] JFo: so it's on us [15:52] we just don't have the resources to do it [15:52] unfortunnately yes :-/ [15:52] OK, cool. Thanks, JFo [15:52] my pleasure [15:52] wish I could help some more [15:52] but I took a look at the effort and it is rather massive [16:18] 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] ScottL, heya pal, sorry, had no time - I moved house and my drums are not set up yet [17:04] no problem, enjoy the new house :) [18:04] nigelb: confirmation from wifey that Sophie does have ballet, so I'd prefer a slot after 13:30 UTC please [18:06] popey: okay :) [18:07] thanks [19:03] 'I've just been jono'd' HAHA [19:03] kim0: that was a fun way to put it ;) [19:12] good evening [20:11] hm, the team reports in UWN are stuck in October last year? [20:15] october and november were included in the latest UWN [20:16] the october report wasn't complete when the last issue went out (early november) [20:21] eh? [20:22] what I mean is that there are October reports in the December issue that was released in January ? [20:22] issue 217 was released on november 7th, the october reports weren't done, so they weren't included [20:23] they were included in 218 instead, which we just released [20:23] issue #218 only includes October reports though... [20:23] not November & December [20:23] it includes october and november [20:24] december reports weren't done yet, they will be included in the next issue [20:25] for ubuntu-be and the other locoteams I see it only includes October? [20:25] 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] not sure what you're looking at [20:26] is it a translated version? [20:26] oh, they are further down, sorry [20:28] okay, I was checking and saw only October dates, was wondering what was happening, that's clear now ;) [20:28] it's just because the UWN wasn't published for several weeks in nov-dec [20:29] and will also forward to another person who was confused ☺ [20:31] pleia2: thanks for explaining BTW ☺ [20:31] sure [20:32] gah, JanC's special smiley shows up as ? for me :/ [20:33] nigelb: using bitmap fonts? [20:33] terminal :/ [20:33] my server isnt getting utc right [20:34] gnome-terminal & konsole should be able to show it [20:34] my terminal is fine [20:34] but i started irssi before i fixed the utc issue [20:34] server is not utf-8 ? [20:34] lazy to kill irssi just to get utf8 :p [20:35] what piece of antique did you install to get no utf-8 ? ;) [20:35] ubuntu 10.04 :-P [20:35] huh? [20:35] lol [20:36] custom image from rackspace cloud ;) [20:36] ubuntu has been utf-8 by default for at least 5 years... [20:37] * JanC wonders why people break things like that [20:37] I remember going through some hoops getting irssi, screen, and putty all setup to work nicely with utf-8 [20:38] putty isn't utf-8 by default IIRC, but then again, that's Windows... ;) [20:51] jcastro, got a sec - it's about Banshee stuffs [20:52] yep [20:52] que tal [20:52] your name was offered up as POC if people wanted to report issues [20:52] 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] oh man, jcastro jst passed out [20:53] haha [20:53] that was so weird ;) [20:53] eh? [20:53] JFo: from shock? :p [20:53] jst? [20:53] just kidding [20:53] yeah :-D [20:54] jcastro, it was supposed to be 'just' [20:54] I missed a key when typing it [20:54] akgraner: wait what? report bugs to me? [20:54] no lol, report it to launchpad [20:55] jcastro: So you aren't volunteering to fix each and every bug that gets reported about banshee by yourself ? :( [20:55] heh [20:56] when are they? [20:56] Darn, I thought you loved Banshee ;) [20:56] when are my sessions nhandler? [20:57] 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] So basically whatever time works best for you [20:57] oh, I'll figure it out [20:57] at a sprint at the moment [20:58] IF you smeeeeeeelllll, what the jcastro is cookin!!! [20:58] 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] JFo: I wanna interview you today [21:20] jcastro, ok [21:20] when? [21:20] whenever I can get over to your room. :) [21:23] heh [21:23] want me to come there instead jcastro? This place is a madhouse. [21:25] JFo: Oh, you're getting jcastro'd ;) [21:25] yeah but I need to go tape the USC guys first [21:25] JFo: come over in like an hour? [21:28] jcastro, will do [21:29] nigelb, looks like it :) [21:29] JFo: Just write a song for him ;) [21:30] heh [21:34] a symphony for two farters [21:37] evening
