hajouri know Pendulum  it was mend for info foe everybody18:20

hajouri will explain later i have to eat in about 10 minutes18:27
hajouro btw do they already know who become the 2 new council members?18:27
jledbetterhajour, No worries. I have a meeting soon anyway :) Can always email it to me.18:27
jledbetterhajour, Nope. Voting just opened. There are 5 up for it and one is me.18:28
hajouri not sure i have your email jledbetter 18:28
jledbetterInc then :)18:28
hajourhave you got a link jledbetter ? if i may vote18:28
jledbetterhajour, I got an email with a link generated just for me so I assumed everyone in the team did. Hm.18:29
hajourwhat means inc?18:29
hajouri will go check after diner then 18:30
jledbetterSorry about that. inc means "incoming." I just gave it to you via PM18:30
hajoura ok thank you jledbetter 18:30
jledbetterVery welcome hajour 18:30
hajouro and Pendulum  i hope you will feel some better soon18:31
AlanBelljledbetter: is there a list of the candidates?18:42
jledbetterAlanBell, I only know of the list on the url where I vote and that's unique so I can't pass it around. Not sure why it's not in the email sent to everyone. Let me check the list again.18:43
AlanBellI am not on the UBT mailing list18:45
AlanBellif it is civs you should have a link to the results page which is not personal I think18:45
AlanBellid=E_6753d86bd0b619e318:46
AlanBellthat part, without the key is the poll ID18:46
cprofitthey AlanBell 18:47
AlanBellhi cprofitt 18:47
jledbetterAh, didn't know. Great :)18:52
jledbetterNope, it wants both. 18:53
jledbetterIt was: hggdh, silverfox, darkwingduck, pablo, me18:55
AlanBellI think results.pl is fine without the key, but vote.pl needs both18:57
AlanBellhowever that is the info I was after18:57
AlanBelltestimonials could do with some padding out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/jledbetter18:58
jledbetterAlanBell, Results page says "This poll (Ubuntu Beginners Team Council Election 2011) has not yet been ended by its supervisor, Nathan Handler (nhandler) (nhandler@ubuntu.com). The poll has been announced to end Wed Mar 23 23:59:59 UTC 2011." so that wouldn't work for seeing people either.18:58
jledbetterAlanBell, I know. I'm horrible about asking for them and only just added that a bit ago.18:59
AlanBellah, ok18:59
AlanBellit is a good bit to add :)18:59
AlanBellhave you announced to your loco team that you are standing and would appreciate testimonials?19:00
jledbetterNope. Good idea again :) 19:05
phillwPendulum: are you about, as this tired little drone needs to get some sleep :D22:18
Pendulumphillw: yep22:18
phillwjono: could you have a read of http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nocloakonjoin22:19
phillwPendulum: would you PM me please22:20
jonophillw, eh?22:20
phillwjono your cloak is not being applied!22:20
jonophillw, weird, I am registered with nickserv22:20
jonois it a big deal/22:21
phillwjono: not to me, but it gives your IP address away!22:21
jonophillw, I am not that bothered about that :-)22:22
jonoone sec22:22
jonophillw, weird I am reg with nickserv, it should work22:23
hajourjono if they know your ip adress then its easier to hack you22:26
AlanBellI tried booting natty with the accessible option today22:27
AlanBellnot a resounding success22:27
AlanBellyou press space shortly after boot (no audio prompt or feedback)22:33
TheMusoAlanBell: Whats up with it?22:33
AlanBellthen return for English, F5 for accessibility menu, down, down, down to choose screen reader, enter, enter to start running the live CD22:33
AlanBellthen you get the drums and it says "Welcome to Orca. Current desktop environment is Unity. Orca Screen Reader slash Magnifier Frame. Preferences Button"22:34
AlanBellfor a start, it isn't running Unity - I have no 3d drivers in the VM yet so it fell back to classic22:34
TheMusoWhoops, I need to address that a little better then. :)22:35
AlanBellit is just a crazy silent sequence to get it running22:35
AlanBelland it isn't helpful when it starts22:35
TheMusoAlanBell: Right, I have some ideas as to how that can be improved somewhat, but they will have to wait till the O cycle to do them.22:35
TheMusoHow is it not helpful when it starts?22:35
AlanBellfirst thing I want it to say is "Welcome to *Ubuntu*"22:35
TheMusoThat can be changed, but will break translations.22:36
TheMusoNot sure if its wise this late.22:36
AlanBellthen "this is the Orca Screen reader, would you like to know how to use me?"22:36
AlanBellor something like that22:36
TheMusoAlanBell: Again, agreed. I wish I knew this earlier.22:36
TheMusoI could have had more time and allowance to fix such issues.22:36
TheMusoAlanBell: Plesae file a bug against Orca detailing your suggestinos.22:37
TheMusognome-orca even22:37
AlanBellhttp://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/08/13/going-headless/22:37
AlanBellI will file a bug22:37
AlanBellor two22:37
TheMusoAlanBell: Thanks.22:37
hajourTheMuso,  have they solve the bug already?22:38
TheMusohajour: WHich one?22:38
hajourfrom orca 22:38
TheMusoWhich one?22:38
hajouryou install it22:38
hajourthen put it on22:38
hajourwe lost by the hack all info22:38
hajourthats why i describe it22:39
TheMusoI still don't understand.22:39
hajourafter a few seconds your pc shut down22:39
hajouryou get orca from your pc22:39
AlanBelldo you have a bug number hajour?22:39
hajourbut the pc stays over sand over shutting down22:39
hajournot anymore hack remember22:40
hajourmuch damage by undifineds pc22:40
hajourit was direct to gnome22:40
hajourwhere we have report the bug to22:40
AlanBellwho reported it?22:41
hajourUndiFineD, 22:41
hajouri hope it is resolved you see i need a speech program22:42
hajouri not remember good what i read22:42
hajourbut what i hear i remember22:42
hajouris that understandable?22:42
hajourAlanBell, ^22:44
hajouri mean have i explained it good?22:44
AlanBellI am unable to find any bugs on the gnome bugzilla containing an email address containing UndiFineD or dejong22:45
hajourTheMuso,  i not new you was informed of that,that's why i said it22:45
hajourbecause its probably his old email22:46
hajourand that email is destroyed22:46
AlanBellall I want to do is search for the bug22:47
hajourUndiFineD,  knows it his old email22:47
AlanBellis there anything you recall about the bug which might assist in searching for it?22:47
hajourits so bad we lost a lot by that hack22:47
hajouri have asked UndiFineD 22:48
hajourhe is typing22:48
UndiFineDhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63762122:49
ubot2Gnome bug 637621 in speech "Orca crashes, logs me out" [Major,Resolved: invalid]22:49
UndiFineDbut now that i have a different machine, and 2 reinstalls later, I cannot retreive any useful info anymore22:49
AlanBellok, so that bug isn't an orca bug22:50
AlanBelland is a configuration issue on whatever machine it is22:51
hajourit was am pc22:51
AlanBellLaunchpad is there so that bugs can be reproduced and improved before being pushed upstream22:51
hajour-m22:51
hajourUndiFineD,  and by my eeepc to/notebook22:52
AlanBellbug 73231523:05
ubot2Launchpad bug 732315 in gnome-orca "Orca fails to pick up on fall back to 2d desktop from Unity" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73231523:05
UndiFineDnot the same, we dont use unity (yet), no mention of odd behaviour like being logged out23:09
AlanBellbug 73231823:09
ubot2Launchpad bug 732318 in gnome-orca "Session starts with "Welcome to Orca" rather than "Welcome to Ubuntu"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73231823:09
AlanBellUndiFineD: I just filed that, your one would be solved with a clean install I expect23:10
phillwAlanBell: would you be so kind as to drop meetingology into ##sii-general (PM me if you want to what and why SII is).23:10
AlanBellit isn't a bug23:10
UndiFineDoh ok :)23:10
UndiFineDgot you there AlanBell , I misunderstood23:11
UndiFineDthe Welcome to Orca, isnt that a translation bug ? I think  I translated that to Orca in nl_NL too23:12
AlanBellno, it is going to be a controversial Ubuntu vs Gnome policy kind of bug I should think23:13
AlanBelland the tutorial thing would be a new feature really23:14
AlanBellbug 73232023:19
ubot2Launchpad bug 732320 in ubiquity "no audio clues on how to get into the accessible install with screen reader" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73232023:19
hajourwell AlanBell  will you let me know if the important bugs are  resolved from orca? and i hope the voice is more improved23:20
hajourwhen i mean23:20
hajouri go try to sleep good night23:22
AlanBellthe voice won't be improved in any orca bugs because that is not part of orca23:22
hajourwhere is the voice from then23:23
hajourAlanBell, 23:23
AlanBellespeak I think23:23
hajourmmm ok23:23
AlanBellbut orca uses speech-dispatcher and by default speech dispatcher uses espeak23:24
hajouri wil talk to rainct then23:24
AlanBellwhich sounds pretty nasty, but is small and fits on the CD23:24
hajourtomorrow i go put a mail to speechcontrol team in evening23:25
AlanBellif you want orca with a nice voice then that needs a speech dispatcher plugin to be written that sends the text that orca wants to say over to openMary or something else23:25
AlanBelland no, openMary won't ever end up on the CD23:25
hajouri thought it was already made?23:25
TheMusoAlanBell: Espeak certainly isn't the best sounding synth around, but it is hella efficient at high speeds, something jstu about all human sounding synths can't manage.23:26
AlanBellyes, I understand that23:26
AlanBellhow fast can you listen?23:26
TheMusoThe well known IBM ViaVoice/Eloquence is based on similar technology to espeak, which is why its so damn popular.23:27
TheMusoWell I currently have espeak with speech-dispatcher crankced up to full. Not sure how many words per minute that is,.23:27
TheMusogah typing.23:27
TheMusoAlanBell: And thanks for those bug refs, I will take a look at them now and process them accordingly.23:27
hajourhttp://bloc.eurion.net/archives/2010/espeak-gui-0-2/comment-page-1/23:28
hajourthats the last i had get23:28
hajourAlanBell,  TheMuso ^23:29
AlanBellI don't understand hajour, what are we supposed to be looking at?23:29
hajouri dont know thats my question23:29
hajouri said i needed a light weight plugin23:30
hajourand get this link23:30
hajourso ....23:30
hajourwhat is the meaning from that23:30
hajourand how can that help me23:30
hajourthere by it have such small fonts i cant read that23:31
hajourmaybe weird questions23:33
hajouri don't know23:33
AlanBellI don't know either, it does not seem to relate to wanting a speech dispatcher interface to a different text to voice engine23:33
hajourwell they had suggest espeak i told it was to heavy for my eeepc23:34
AlanBellespeak is very light23:34
hajourthen they said there was a light waith plugin23:34
AlanBellI still think you need to get yourself a more suitable computer23:35
hajourespeak takes all on from gnome23:35
hajourwhat i not need 23:36
hajourand that makes it to heavy23:36
AlanBellespeak has gnome dependencies??23:36
hajouryes23:36
AlanBellespeak-gui perhaps23:36
hajourwe had searched what was the problem you see23:37
hajourand discovered that if you instal espeak23:37
hajourespeak automatic download all from gnome23:37
hajouryou cant stop it23:38
AlanBellI am surprised23:38
hajourresult is you memory is full and then eeepc not working anyore result reinstall all23:38
AlanBellhowever, gnome is the default desktop23:38
hajourbut you need not all from gnome23:39
AlanBellI will try it on a minimal or server install tomorrow23:39
hajourresolve the automatic download and then will espeak be useble for light weight pc s23:39
AlanBellwhat desktop are you using?23:40
AlanBelldesktop environment, like KDE or something?23:40
hajoureeepc 90123:40
hajourlubuntu23:40
AlanBellhmm, lxde23:40
AlanBellI think we have an eeepc 901 somewhere23:41
AlanBellruns gnome just fine23:41
hajourKDE and ubuntu where to heavy23:41
hajour1gb menory23:41
hajourmemory23:42
hajour16 gb harddisk23:42
hajourAlanBell, ⁶23:42
hajour^23:42
AlanBellactually it isn't a 901 we have, it is an asus 1008HA23:43
AlanBellhowever 1gb memory is plenty for gnome, and 16GB disk is fine23:43
hajouri need also memory for files23:44
hajourlubuntu works good23:44
hajourbut it cant handle if all from gnome comes in23:44
AlanBellyeah, feel free to use lubuntu if you prefer that23:44
hajouri not have a choice AlanBell 23:45
hajourwith ubuntu i get many times screen freeze23:45
AlanBellhowever we are targetting the main audience on Ubuntu with Gnome23:45
hajouryes i know23:45
AlanBellnight all o/23:47
hajouro btw AlanBell  i go put in some to next ubuntu meeting about improve upstream guiding from ubt23:47
