[02:06] <ikt> yay top gear
[02:25] <sagaci> i need a fully working/functional ubuntu desktop 10.10 64-bit install in 35 minutes
[02:25] <sagaci> k go
[02:33] <ikt> easy
[02:33] <ikt> slowest part would be downloading the iso
[02:33] <ikt> http://www.speedtest.net/global.php#0
[02:33] <ikt> my line speed is in line with mexico -_-
[03:02] <ikt> heya sagaci 
[03:02] <ikt> how did you go?
[03:03] <sagaci> done
[03:04] <sagaci> meeting on tomorro wnight
[03:04] <sagaci> downloading squeeze at 130kB/s
[03:05] <ikt> nice
[03:06] <sagaci> because i'm too impatient to wait for it on aarnet
[03:06] <ikt> lol
[03:09] <ikt> I don't think node cares about the debian mirror
[03:10] <blahdeblah> iiNet has a good Debian mirror if you guys want something better.  Just upgraded 4 of my VMs last night.
[03:10] <blahdeblah> http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/
[03:11] <ikt> yeah I just checked and saw then
[03:11] <ikt> which is how I came to the conclusion node doesn't care :P
[03:11] <ikt> and a quick search of 'debian' on the internode section of whirlpool
[03:11] <ikt> http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/?action=threads_search&f=68&q=debian
[03:12] <ikt> blahdeblah, do you know how long it takes for stickers to get to adelaide :S still haven't received them 
[03:12] <ikt> I don't send mail often so I'm unsure how long to wait
[03:27] <blahdeblah> ikt: I only sent them on Friday, so i would guess at least another day or so.
[03:29] <ikt> cheers :)
[04:05] <Phlosten> I think I am going to blow away this Windows 7 install and load up 64bit Ubuntu instead
[04:06] <Phlosten> windows 7 not working with my Belkin flip kvm anyway
[04:08] <ikt> :/
[04:09] <Phlosten> windows 7 forces DDE or whatever it is, the belkin flip doesnt pass this info, so my monitor resolution becomes unavailable
[04:11] <Phlosten> handy hint, to burn cd the cd must be in the correct cd drive
[04:18] <Phlosten> high speed cd burn fail...next
[04:25] <kaushal> hi
[04:26] <kaushal> is there a way to set "Open Terminal" when i right click on the desktop on 10.10 ?
[05:40] <ikt> kaushal, as an option?
[05:40] <ikt> or as in, the moment you right click terminal opens up
[05:41] <kaushal> ikt: as an option
[05:41] <kaushal> like the default is open gedit file
[05:41] <kaushal> for example
[05:43] <ikt> hrmm good question
[05:46] <ikt> kaushal, have you tried nautilus actions?
[05:47] <kaushal> ikt: how do i use it ?
[05:48] <kaushal> I did added Nautilus Action Configuration
[05:48] <kaushal> but its not so user friendly
[05:49] <ikt> yeah
[05:50] <ikt> http://www.foogazi.com/2007/11/05/adding-shortcuts-to-the-right-click-menu-in-ubuntu/
[05:51] <ikt> http://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/add-shortcuts-to-right-click-context-menu-in-ubuntu/
[05:51] <ikt> looks like it's the only way
[06:00] <ikt> kaushal, now you've got me trying to do it :P
[06:10] <kaushal> ikt: it doesnot work :/
[06:14] <ikt> :/
[06:14] <ikt> i'm trying to get this to work in natty
[06:15] <kaushal> ok
[06:18] <ikt> i've got it working in nautilus
[06:18] <ikt> but not on the desktop :/
[06:48] <ikt> this is just impossible
[07:14] <ikt> kaushal, would it be ok if it is in a sub menu ?
[07:14] <ikt> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3083307&postcount=10
[07:14] <ikt> works
[07:14] <ikt> but it's in a sub meni
[09:10] <ikt> what's everyone up to?
[09:55] <Phlosten> ikt: trying to take over the world again
[09:55] <head_victim> ikt: just about to head to bed, I trust I'll see you tomorrow night though?
[09:57] <ikt> yeah, I'll be online, going to talk to class teacher tomorrow, should only be an intro class, not to important
[09:57] <Phlosten> now making a cup of tea
[09:58] <head_victim> nisshh: you going to be around tomorrow night at 6pm WA time?
[09:58] <nisshh> for the meeting? yes
[09:58] <head_victim> nisshh: cool just checking, hadn't spoken to you in a while I don't think
[09:59] <Phlosten> so 10pm NSW time then?
[09:59] <nisshh> head_victim, im at home almost all the time now, since i didnt get accepted into tafe this semester :|
[09:59] <nisshh> yeah
[09:59] <head_victim> Phlosten: no, we moved it forward an hour to be 9pm NSW time to be more accomodating
[09:59] <Phlosten> nisshh: booga
[09:59] <nisshh> ive been very busy getting into shape, etc
[09:59] <Phlosten> oh yeah, we are +11 with DST
[10:00] <head_victim> Yeah it was decided to give it a try and see if it helped the turnout
[10:00] <nisshh> head_victim, the new time is no issue for me, even if i had tafe, i would get home 2 hours before the meeting started, so its cool
[10:00] <head_victim> Cool, just hoping it gets more people from the daylight savings areas involved.
[10:01] <nisshh> yeah
[10:01] <nisshh> head_victim, get everyone to move to WA, problem solved :)
[10:01] <head_victim> Hah speaking of which I hope you're not involved with the fires? I saw some southeast of Perth and I recall you were somewhere south of Perth?
[10:02] <Phlosten> I'd prefer to stay in this country, rather than move to Perth ;)
[10:02] <nisshh> head_victim, nah, the fires are right in south perth and im 90 minutes south of perth
[10:02] <nisshh> Phlosten, lol
[10:03] <head_victim> nisshh: ah ok I didn't see any scale on the map so I thought I'd check.
[10:03] <nisshh> yeah
[10:03] <head_victim> Anyway, I have to be awake at some god awful hour now that I'm back at work so I'm going to run away now, cheerio.
[10:03] <nisshh> head_victim, did i tell you i just got a digital TV finally?
[10:03] <nisshh> ok
[10:04] <nisshh> gnight :)
[10:04] <head_victim> nisshh: woohoo :D Welcome to the new age :D
[10:04] <nisshh> heh
[10:04] <nisshh> i feel modern now
[10:04] <head_victim> I have no digital tvs, only set top boxes.
[10:04] <head_victim> All the TVs in this house are CRTs. 
[10:04] <head_victim> And now I'm really going, night all
[10:05] <ikt> laters
[10:23] <sagaci> email for meeting tomorrow night
[11:31] <ikt> nisshh, are you watching qanda?
[11:33] <nisshh> ikt, am i watching what?
[11:34] <nisshh> what is qanda?
[11:34] <ikt> http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/
[11:35] <nisshh> ikt, my net is slow, which channel is it on?
[11:35] <nisshh> and what is it about?
[11:36] <ikt> which city are you in?
[11:36] <ikt> it starts at 9:30 local i think
[11:36] <nisshh> oh right
[11:36] <ikt> 9:30est
[11:36] <nisshh> yeah, it just started here then
[11:37] <nisshh> but i cant get ABC2 or 3
[11:37] <nisshh> i have a crappy arial
[11:37] <nisshh> im assuming its on ABC2
[11:37]  * nisshh checks
[11:39] <sagaci> kinda of a boring ep
[11:39] <nisshh> uh, no, it must be on ABC2
[11:39] <nisshh> all i have is news on ABC1 currently
[11:39] <sagaci> it just finished
[11:39] <nisshh> oh right
[11:39] <sagaci> on abc1 in nsw
[11:39] <nisshh> oh ok
[11:40] <nisshh> it must have finished here too
[11:41] <ikt> sagaci, really?
[11:41] <ikt> I thought it was pretty good
[11:42] <ikt> not as much bickering as I thought it would
[11:42] <ikt> but I was mainly hoping for nisshh to see it because of what they said about the wikileaks guy
[11:43] <sagaci> 50% was random crap about floods and levies, the remaining 50% random bites of minor topics
[11:43] <sagaci> prefer it when they get decent answers and cover 5 to 6 issues well
[11:46] <ikt> hrm
[11:46] <ikt> I thought they covered it quite well
[11:47] <ikt> you can't just go and tax a mining industry
[11:47] <ikt> and force them to change their ways
[11:47] <ikt> if Australia wants to reduce its usage of coal and other major polluters it has to do it by itself
[11:56] <sagaci> it's not just about Australia's usage of coal
[12:00] <ikt> go on...
[12:00] <sagaci> well regardless if Australia stopped using coal *tomorrow*, they're still going to dig it up at the same rate and sell it o/s
[12:01] <sagaci> and burn it
[12:05] <ikt> indeed
[12:05] <ikt> however Australia would be off the hook climate change wise, and could suggest to other countries to follow
[12:05] <ikt> depending on how buggered the country is
[12:08] <sagaci> sif anyone will do anything about it
[12:10] <sagaci> i'm no climate scientist
[12:11] <ikt> yeah I don't know anyone who is :(
