nuboon2ageawesome outofjungle00:28
jtatumi saw akk at baypiggies, but in that context i wasn't sure it was her. and perhaps the same in reverse because neither of us said hi to each other. but she asked a good question and then i was like, aha00:30
akkI was indeed there, didn't realize you were.00:33
jtatumyes, we walked in at the same time00:34
akkDarn, I didn't realize! (I wasn't entirely with it, was getting over a cold and pretty muddle-headed)00:34
jtatumthe same. i sat way in the back to avoid spreading anything. really enjoyed that speaker.00:37

Eurekawiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale9x edited04:30
iheartubuntuhiya all. my sis is trying to upgrade but she is getting a "held packages" error message. is there any way to onhold these so she can continue the upgrade?04:45
iheartubuntuim wondering if its some icedtea packages i locked in synaptic a while back04:45
pleia2sounds likely04:46
pleia2if you set the hold in synaptic there is probably a way to unlock them there too (I'm not all that familiar with the synaptic interface though)04:47
iheartubuntuif i run aptitude full-upgrade would it cuase any upgrade problems? or would it force upgrade all those locked ones?04:48
pleia2if locked means "pinned" it won't upgrade those locked ones, but if there are packages which depend on them being upgraded it will cause an upgrade problem04:54
rwwfull-upgrade will break holds to upgrade if necessary, won't it?04:55
iheartubuntucrap04:55
rwwhrm, maybe not. I thought I read that in the manpage, but it isn't in there04:55
iheartubuntuis there any way to see which packages i might have locked in synaptic?04:56
pleia2I thought it just ignored the warnings04:56
pleia2and would do the upgrade anyway, regardless of dependency issues04:56
pleia2(I've never actually done it, too paranoid)04:56
iheartubuntuitsn ot my computer so im not too nervous :) :)04:57
pleia2lol04:57
iheartubuntuhaha04:57
iheartubuntuanyone come across this error before on an upgrade? "could not calculate the upgrade"04:59
iheartubuntumy prob is it doesnt tell me which package is the problem05:03
iheartubuntucan i use apt-get to find package problems?05:03
akkIt might give you a better error message than that, anyway.05:05
iheartubuntuwill have to investigate. im surprised a google search doesnt pull up more details on my error message05:09
iheartubuntuits usually how i solve problems quick05:09
jedahanYARRRRR in LA for a few days09:41
jedahansanta monica, venice beach, art walk, anything else I should make sure to see?09:45

iheartubuntuyo mark. hope to meet you at scale19:32
DarkwingDuckHey MarkDude19:33

DarkwingDuckSame here jamiedmattingly19:44
DarkwingDucklol19:44
MarkDudeWe need to plan a getogether- at least for coffee or drinks in the bar19:45
MarkDudelast year that sort of fizzled19:45
DarkwingDuckYeah... It was a bit split last year.19:47
DarkwingDuckI'm having dinner with a close friend on sat night though... But, I was thinking we could do something on friday night.19:48
MarkDudeDarkwingDuck, geeknic ideas? as far as mailing list or how to organoze it for SoCal?19:48
MarkDudeGeeknic-SMOGbelt or sumthin'?19:49
DarkwingDuckSmogbelt LOL19:49
DarkwingDuckIf we are going to do it right, we would do it in San Diego the day before ComiCon19:49
MarkDudeEither that or Silicone Folly19:49
MarkDudeThat would be epic19:50
DarkwingDuckOr, the day after19:50
MarkDudeFedora has 2 Ambassadors sponsored to go there19:50
MarkDudeI know at least one would help out19:50
DarkwingDuckAnd I'll be going to comicon this year so I could word of mouth advertise.19:50
* DarkwingDuck shrugs19:50
DarkwingDuckMarkDude: after scale I'll look deeper into it.19:51
MarkDudeIf you can get some sort of framework, set up- I may be able to get a few sponsor $ for your geeknic19:52
DarkwingDuckMarkDude: it's in July19:52
DarkwingDuckSo, that works too because it's after the Natty release... this time in the release cycle I tend to get really busy.19:52
* MarkDude humbly suggests the *perfect time* to get folks involved would be say, idk, a geek gathering in SoCal19:52
DarkwingDuckAgreed.19:52
MarkDudeidea being you have one before the big one for Comicon19:53
MarkDudeiron the bugs out19:53
MarkDudetrust me it will be less stressful19:53
MarkDudejust plan it to be less than 15 from a store, and no worries19:53
DarkwingDuckHoly mother of wow...19:53
* MarkDude 's backup plan is to make a posterous acct for this- they have ML19:54
DarkwingDucka basic 10x10 booth with nothing in it is 2200USD19:54
MarkDudeWhere?19:54
DarkwingDuckComiCon19:54
DarkwingDuckComic-Con rather19:55
DarkwingDuckand if you want tables ect the price goes up.19:55
DarkwingDuckWell, I thought I was going...19:57
DarkwingDuckIt sold out at last years Comic Con19:57
MarkDudeWell non-profits can get discounts20:01
MarkDudeeither way the point was, lets try to get in at least one picnic before Comicon, and use time in between to network it :)20:02
MarkDudeDarkwingDuck, so if I dont make it, are you volunteering to wear the Penguin suit?20:21
DarkwingDuck:) Sure, why not?20:23
DarkwingDuckI'm fairly busy with Natty release though, but, I should be able to help with that.20:23
MarkDudeGood deal20:24
iheartubuntuWho is going to wear the Natty suit?20:39
sn9we have a narwhal suit? and it doesn't look exceedingly stupid?20:47
