[00:02] <_marx_> i was away i think w/a family oblication [00:04] <_marx_> local advocacy [00:06] <_marx_> whatchew been up to holstein [00:06] there should be [00:07] lemme look for it [00:07] <_marx_> it's blank [00:07] lol [00:07] we did a lot though [00:07] pretty much just internalkernel, akgraner and myself [00:07] <_marx_> i can report that there are no ads on craigslist for Ubuntu or Linux events [00:07] someone else popped in for a sec [00:08] <_marx_> well we need to get some spark going [00:08] OH [00:08] we straitened out the FB [00:08] but you know about that [00:08] you're admin on it [00:08] <_marx_> indeed [00:08] <_marx_> you too [00:08] OR i tried to make that happen [00:09] <_marx_> well for now we need to double post [00:09] i cant join the other one [00:09] otherwise [00:09] i would just sent an invite to all of them [00:09] <_marx_> 80 something on the first FB page [00:10] to the new one [00:10] and let it go [00:10] for all intents and purposes, its dead [00:10] <_marx_> need to post meetings there too [00:10] IF there is no admin [00:10] _marx_: can you message the other group? [00:12] <_marx_> i believe i can [00:13] _marx_: you want to try that? [00:13] just so all of those folk are formally invited to the new page [00:13] i think that would be a good use of this meeting [00:13] if we dont get anything else done [00:13] i mean [00:14] we can still double post for a while [00:14] but, something formal would be nice [00:15] * _marx_ trying now... [00:17] <_marx_> a wall post gets sent to all members? [00:17] not sure [00:18] i think it depends on how they are setup [00:18] IF they get a notice or not [00:19] not sure who would know the answer to that... [00:20] <_marx_> okay FB won't let me paste in the addy of the new group [00:20] <_marx_> maybe just the name [00:20] _marx_: can you add a link? [00:20] to the message? [00:20] <_marx_> y [00:21] maybe just drop it there [00:21] use the name in the body [00:25] <_marx_> done [00:25] COOL [00:26] <_marx_> that's the second time too so we'll see [00:26] well [00:26] some of those people could be just not active anymore [00:26] most* even [00:26] <_marx_> true [00:26] OR maybe they do FB once a year like i do [00:26] and when they finally log in, they'll deal with it [00:27] _marx_: i say, if you want to action yourself [00:27] and make it offical [00:27] <_marx_> so are your uhours going well in a'ville [00:27] that you did that [00:27] _marx_: i only do the LUG [00:27] the WNClug [00:27] i'll probably make a LUG meeing an ubuntu hour [00:28] <_marx_> k [00:28] again [00:28] at some point [00:28] to try and kick it off [00:28] im not going ot be able to host one [00:28] BUT i would like for someone else in the LUG to take that on [00:28] we'll see [00:28] its coming up on a year since the last one that i did [00:29] SO, i could do another one [00:29] <_marx_> well a UH can be completely social [00:29] yup [00:29] it would be nice [00:29] <_marx_> doesn't have to be technical at all [00:29] and there are a handful of ubuntu folk [00:29] that would just hang out i think [00:29] <_marx_> i think that was the original intent [00:29] but, its still too much for me [00:30] to organize [00:30] <_marx_> gotcha [00:30] well, maybe [00:30] i guess i could just set up something ongoing [00:30] <_marx_> coffee joint be there or be square [00:30] something that requires no email blurbs [00:31] i'll think about it [00:31] * _marx_ waiting for that one to come back [00:31] eitherway [00:31] i'll do one at the firestorm soon [00:31] next couple months or so [00:31] to try and spur it on [00:32] * holstein got a new computer [00:32] new to me that is [00:32] <_marx_> i don't make the g'boro lug meetings because of budget constraints [00:32] i was giving props to the kernel team [00:32] i installed 10.04 [00:32] no wifi [00:32] no hot-keys [00:32] i plugged it in to LAN [00:32] got the latest kernel [00:32] and everything is working [00:33] _marx_: you still host the UH's though right? [00:33] krankies? [00:33] <_marx_> yes [00:34] how many folk? [00:34] <_marx_> just be there for a couple of hours [00:34] <_marx_> 1-3 [00:34] nice [00:34] <_marx_> some mailing list pr would help, maybe FB too [00:35] sure [00:35] then you gotta do it though :/ [00:35] maybe we can attomate a reminder somewhere [00:35] automate* [00:37] <_marx_> i'd really like to start a refurb thing but several problems exist [00:37] refurb? [00:38] <_marx_> get old boxen, refurb, distribute to needy families [00:38] yeah [00:38] i was thinking about something like that [00:40] <_marx_> overall though we need some team building; we're not connected across the state as well as we could be [00:40] agreed [00:41] <_marx_> several names here tonight that i don't recognize [00:47] <_marx_> well, i'm not a good chearleader [00:48] <_marx_> i'm more the construction type [00:48] <_marx_> typically some cussin' and name callin' [00:49] <_marx_> not the best motivational techniques for this sort of group [00:49] <_marx_> well... [00:50] <_marx_> maybe a good cussin' is in order? [00:51] <_marx_> holstein: closing now [00:51] <_marx_> anything to add [00:53] <_marx_> on the meeting record [00:53] <_marx_> I've been here for some time now. [00:54] _marx_: i say close it [00:54] sorry [00:54] i had a call [00:54] <_marx_> This teams spark cannot rely on one person. [00:54] _marx_: we did last time discuss.. [00:54] trying to get something going on [00:54] across the region [00:55] maybe an event in the middle of the state somewheres [00:55] we can try and drum up more folks for the meetings though [00:55] and get more input on that for later [00:55] <_marx_> We need to find some more ambers. [00:55] hehe [00:55] yup [00:56] <_marx_> #endmeeting [00:56] Meeting finished at 00:56. [00:56] akgraner is quite a personality :) [00:56] <_marx_> ah 4 minutes early [00:56] nah [00:56] they dont have to be an hour :) [00:57] <_marx_> well, so i'm anal ;) [00:57] hehe [00:57] i have an annoying hot-corner on my new touchpad [00:57] pastes in some unwanted text [00:58] from time to time [00:58] asheville asheville asheville [00:58] strange [00:58] <_marx_> had to be at work today at 8:30, got there at 8:29 [00:58] i dont even remember putting asheville in my clipboard [00:58] _marx_: lol [00:58] me too [00:58] i didnt notice when i got there though [00:58] not really work anyways [00:59] volunteer computer classes [00:59] at my moms church [00:59] volunteer for now [00:59] anyways [00:59] <_marx_> winders or ... [00:59] well, they have win7 [00:59] but, i have a server running in vitualbox [00:59] <_marx_> ah, 2 bad [01:00] on my EEE [01:00] and they use putty to get into a screen session [01:00] whenever possible [01:00] im working on rolling up some custom live iso's for the machines [01:01] tricky wifi, and audio hardware [01:01] <_marx_> broadcom wifi? [01:01] i think so [01:01] not too tricky [01:01] i have the lspci output somewhere [01:02] <_marx_> so you think this is a bad meeting time? [01:02] <_marx_> or just no interest [01:02] good question [01:02] <_marx_> bugjam or something [01:02] but im afraid its the latter [01:03] <_marx_> raleigh is heavy w/redhat [01:03] <_marx_> me too [01:03] seemed like we had momentum there for a minute [01:03] before the official blessing [01:03] i think a few of us were really carrying the weight [01:03] <_marx_> well back to core members in each area [01:04] and got busy with other stuff [01:04] and rightly so [01:04] i shouldnt say 'us' [01:04] really you and akgraner [01:04] <_marx_> no you and internalkernel bugeyed too on uh [01:05] <_marx_> there have been sooo many here on irc [01:07] sure [01:07] but i think you and akgraner really made the approval happen [01:08] <_marx_> who's next on the chair list? not sure that's working at all [01:08] * _marx_ goes for a nic fix [01:10] i quit [01:10] at the end of nov :) [01:11] dinner time..

[01:24] <_marx_> lexington bbq fest booth [01:24] <_marx_> mt. airy stuff, booth [01:24] <_marx_> cost of booth [01:27] <_marx_> ah man [15:08] _marx_: i just had a thought [15:08] i drive my grandmother around twice a week [15:08] on thursdays [15:09] i drop her off at 9ish [15:09] and i come to the local earth-fare for breaky [15:10] i could totally try and promote an ubuntu hour then [15:10] not very 'buisness professional' friendly [15:10] as far as the time [15:10] but, its something i can just add into my routine [15:10] theres a guy from the LUG here now, so we are kind of having one anyways [16:05] hi :) [16:06] holstein, are you here? [16:40] hey Daniel0108 [16:40] hi holstein [16:40] :P [16:40] im around [16:40] where is your friend? [16:40] for a bit [16:40] here and there [16:41] internalkernel is who i was thinking of [16:41] I still need help with DNS ;) [16:41] IF he's around [16:41] huh? [16:41] we were going to point a domain for our LUG [16:41] :D [16:41] and he was the go-to guy :) [16:41] internalkernel: hey [16:41] im getting you in trouble :) [16:41] lol... Im used to it... [16:42] Daniel0108: , meet daniel [16:42] hi internalkernel ;) [16:42] hiya... [16:42] hey holstein, going to miss Sat I've gotta go to SF... [16:43] http://pastebin.com/iEaa6Npt [16:43] internalkernel: not worries [16:43] there is my problem :P [16:43] AND iwas thinking future LUGs - we should get Jfo to talk about VCS like Bazaar or Git... [16:43] I just copied the irc log ;) [16:43] I hope you can help me :D [16:43] he comes to mind since he works with the kernel team... [16:43] Yes... what's the issue Daniel0108 [16:44] internalkernel: http://pastebin.com/iEaa6Npt [16:44] here is the issue :P [16:45] so.. you want any requests to domain.at to forward to domain.com [16:46] so. for instance like if you go to ubuntunc.com right now... it should just immediately forward you to ubuntu.com [16:46] or rather our team wiki page I believe... [16:46] I forgot which... lol... [16:47] Create a virtual host file for the domain.at - all you'll need is the ServerName and this line: [16:48] Redirect permanent / http://www.domain.com/ [16:48] then: apache2ctr restart [16:48] and all requests to domain.at will end up at domain.com [16:56] internalkernel: I have a DomainOnly host [16:56] I can't create files or restart apache [16:56] Daniel0108: they give you access to something though [16:56] they have to [16:56] yes [16:56] ahhh, what kind of access do they give you to setup a redirect? [16:56] I can only setup DNS [16:56] OR you should take it to another host [16:56] but I can do what I want with DNS :P [16:57] yes, but the problem is that I've already paid for it, lol [16:57] Do you have a Plesk panel or some other type of domain control? [16:57] only DNS control, lol [16:57] :PP [16:57] I can just add/edit/remove dns records [16:57] maybe you should call them [16:58] and ask them just how they propose the domain to be administered [16:58] What you want to setup is a Redirect, I don't think theres a way to do that through the DNS records though - it's something Apache or the web server will have to handle... [16:58] holstein, I have to pay for forwarding... and I don't want to pay again [16:58] since that machine probably has hundreds of domain names pointed to an IP - the web server makes the distinction between which requests go where [16:59] there is no way to point to a domain instead of a ip? [16:59] for ips I have MX record [16:59] *A record [16:59] Maybe through the CNAME function [16:59] A records require IPs [17:00] okay [17:00] I'll try CNAME [17:00] CNAME record - Canonical Name might let you map the Domain name to an IP - but when the request hits the webserver it's still going to be domain.at [17:00] and the webserver is going to go... Not here... [17:01] I dont think there's not a way to trick the web server into thinking that a result for domain.at means domain.com [17:01] ahh... that's unfair.... [17:01] but hey if you find one, let me know... [17:01] because that would be useful... the only way I know of is redirect through apache [17:02] I have to pay like $80 for redirecting -.- [17:02] but the domain was cheap -.- [17:02] per year? [17:02] holy crap... [17:02] yes [17:02] per year [17:02] who are you using? [17:02] probably should read the fine print though [17:02] it's a good provider, but not for domain only :P [17:02] 'restrictions apply' ;) [17:02] ah, doesn't matter :P [17:03] I'll just cancel the domain :P [17:03] i dont know, forwarding is a feature that i would expect in a domain registrar [17:03] the .com works perfect [17:03] and it's cheap [17:03] included [17:03] in whatever cost [17:03] or even a nominal fee for redirecting... [17:03] yeah [17:03] high-speed webspace + domain for like 25$ per year ;) [17:03] thats a 'bait-n-switch' almost [17:03] 10GB, no traffic [17:04] holstein, yeah... [17:06] okay, I'll leave this channel now :P bye [23:03] <_marx_> holstein: i think your UH idea fits the description; time is early but what the... [23:03] <_marx_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour [23:04] <_marx_> pr it a bit and who knows who might show up
