InHisNameEveryone asleep now ?04:46
pleia2not me :)04:46
waltmannor me04:46
* pleia2 plays with cr-4804:47
waltmanhow do you like it so far?04:48
pleia2I do, but it's reminding me of all the things I actually do need an OS for04:48
waltmanlike having an accessible filesystem?04:48
InHisNameI have an older system that lost some important files for starting ubuntu  In process of trying to boot, it 'dirtys' the drive.  I forgot which version is on there, probably 9.10 or 9.04.04:48
pleia2in dev mode you get a terminal so I can ssh to my server04:48
pleia2waltman: partially, it turns out I edit photos a lot here and there, I miss that04:49
InHisNameCan I install it again WITHOUT messing up my stuff in /home ?   All in one partition.04:49
pleia2and I miss the ability to play local music04:49
pleia2InHisName: if it's all in one partition, not really04:50
waltmanpleia2: that's a problem on the iphone, too. best you can hope is that the developer added "send to dropbox" on a menu somewhere04:50
pleia2(this is one of the advantages of having /home on a separate partition)04:50
pleia2waltman: yeah04:50
pleia2also, I can't copy/paste from IRC to the GUI and back04:51
pleia2no clicky on links in IRC04:51
waltmanA few years ago I cranked out a client/server app that does remote image editing over tcp/ip.  It occured to me today that that might be a cute iPhone and/or Android app.04:52
waltmanthat was for a networking class.04:52
waltmanhave a nice little protocol and everything04:53
pleia2well there is google apps draw thing, and there is limited image editing on flickr and such I think04:53
pleia2the problem is getting the images from my camera to the internet04:53
waltmanwhat my app does is send the image to the server, the server runs one of 4 or 5 imagemagick filters on it, and sends it back.04:54
InHisNameI got a new toy and no time to mess with it.   IBM 1U server xSeries 336  dual XEON  -- $15004:54
waltmanWell, many apps let you choose an image from your photo library.  Twitter and facebook are two of them.  So there's got to be *some* api to do that.04:54
waltmanand ios seems to be able to create sockets.04:55
pleia2ah04:55
waltmanwhat more do you need? :)04:55
pleia2http://princessleia.com/txt/cr4804:55
pleia2^^ some specs04:55
pleia2my camera is not online, still no way to get it from dumb camera to the internets :)04:56
waltmanno swap?04:56
pleia2nope04:57
waltmanyou should run "df -h" on it.04:57
pleia2ah, I didn't include that, should have04:57
pleia2sec04:57
pleia2waltman: refresh04:59
pleia2there is a little writeable storage in /home/chronos/user/04:59
pleia2(that's where I'm writing this ouput before scping it up)04:59
waltmanthat's a surprising number of mounts05:03
pleia2yeah05:03
waltmanI'm also surprised they're still on 2.6.32.05:04
waltmanDo you know why debian's been stuck on that for so long?  It was released back in december, 2009, and they're now up to 2.6.37.05:05
pleia2Debian, Ubuntu, one of the fedora releases (maybe even the new enterprise edition) all worked together to land on 2.6.32 for their major releases05:05
pleia2so Debian Squeeze will be 2.6.32, Ubuntu's LTS 10.04 is .3205:05
waltmanI'm hoping testing goes to something more recent once squeeze comes out.05:06
pleia2probably05:06
pleia2it was over a year ago that they decided on 2.6.32 (they were talking about the decision when I was at the ubuntu dev summit in november 2009)05:07
waltmanit's got to be one of the best-tested kernels in history :)05:08
pleia2indeed :)05:08
pleia2so I'm not surprised that's what chromeos is on05:08
waltmanthey've been backporting all the important bug fixes.05:09
pleia2the battery life on this is crazy impressive05:15
pleia2reading online they're saying 8-10 hours, and so far that seems pretty accurate05:16
pleia2so it has an SD card slot, I put my card in from my camera and it mounted it05:31
pleia2so I *can* upload from there05:31
waltmanyay!05:32
waltmangood night05:32
pleia2night :)05:33

ChinnoDogSo, Phil saw his shadow on Wednesday?19:42
ChinnoDogOh, I have it backwards19:43
ChinnoDogPhil did not see his shadow.19:43
pleia2ChinnoDog: you were asking about an "app store" before, here's some info about other distros taking the ubuntu software center as a base for a more distros: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/appstream-the-unified-app-store-for-linux/19:45
PennBotTitle: AppStream: The unified App Store for Linux (at www.omgubuntu.co.uk)19:45
MutantTurkeyhasn't that been around for a quite some time19:46
MutantTurkeya universal package manager?19:46
MutantTurkeyLike, it had different plugins for different backends, and they wrote plugins for many package managers19:47
MutantTurkeyhttp://www.packagekit.org/19:48
PennBotTitle: PackageKit - Main Page (at www.packagekit.org)19:48
ChinnoDogpleia2: That is interesting but I fear that making it a multi distribution app store is going to seriously cripple it19:59
pleia2the idea is making the toolset available to everyone, it's up to them what they do with it20:00
pleia2MutantTurkey: an app store is more than a software installer, it has payment options, user ratings and reviews20:02
MutantTurkeypayment options? D:20:02
pleia2yes, so you can buy software20:03
MutantTurkeyalso i assume they filter out like libraries and such?20:03
MutantTurkeywhat software would you need to buy?20:03
pleia2software that you need which costs money20:03
MutantTurkeyobviously, but the only ones i could think of are maybe virtualbox, codeweavers, thats about it.20:04
pleia2I think there are 4-5 paid applications in the software center20:04
MutantTurkeydo you think this will spawn alot of developers trying to score $.99 off of everyone?20:04
pleia2I doubt it20:04
MutantTurkeyokay. Just wondering20:04
pleia2looking at iphone vs android app stores is a nice test case20:05
MutantTurkeyright, andoid is mostly free20:05
MutantTurkeyall the apps i seem to need cost money however D:20:05
pleia2I've never really wanted one that costs money on android, but I don't mind paying20:05
andrewMutantTurkey: what apps are you needing?20:19
SamuraiAlbaI'm just waiting for InHisName to call ;)20:20
MutantTurkeyandrew: no currently. Just apps i thought would be great to have and gave up because i have no money.20:20
MutantTurkeyanyone have a suggestion for a nice minimal cms?20:48
MutantTurkeyi mean we have say 50-100 pages, not very dynamic content (we'd like a news feed and rss feeds but thats it) and easy to work with20:48
andrewcouch?20:50
andrewnever used that20:51
andrewhave you considered wp or concrete5?20:51
MutantTurkeywp is to blog oriented20:52
MutantTurkeysomeone suggested Drupal20:52
MutantTurkeycurrently it is a old school (html based, no css) website. frames for header footer toolbar etc20:53
ChinnoDogDoes "CMS" really mean anything anymore?21:34
MutantTurkeynothing.21:34
MutantTurkeyat all.21:34
* ssweeny thought it was "CMS Means Something"21:38
