| dragon | considering this bug, I'm glad that I made the switch to Ubuntu years ago. | 00:06 |

| dragon | It would be painful to boot into a different OS to watch a youtube video, e.g. | 00:07 |
| pleia2 | meeting in 10 minutes :) | 02:50 |
| pleia2 | (this weekend went by too quick!) | 02:50 |
| philipballew | they always do that! it feels like they've been stolen... | 02:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | yeesh, how long does it take to clone a 200Gig HD using dd? | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | long time | 02:53 |
| DarkwingDuck | No kidding... we are going on 5 hours | 02:53 |
| philipballew | i had a question to awing by you guys here. if ive been posting a question on the forms and the people there dont know, wheres another place to ask? | 02:54 |
| philipballew | *ask | 02:55 |
| DarkwingDuck | What are you looking for? | 02:55 |
| DarkwingDuck | Normally, I look for an answer on google... | 02:55 |
| iheartubuntu | whats dd? | 02:55 |
| iheartubuntu | i just fini transferring 1TB of data from several drives now all on one | 02:55 |
| DarkwingDuck | iheartubuntu: http://serverfault.com/questions/4906/using-dd-for-disk-cloning | 02:56 |
| philipballew | i need to ssh to my desktop thats on the same network here but it appears its on a different subnet and i doesnt wanna connect | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: well you can always ask here, or #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners | 02:56 |
| DarkwingDuck | You should be able to as long as your whitelisted via network IP | 02:56 |
| DarkwingDuck | But, iirc you have to set the whitelist | 02:56 |
| DarkwingDuck | because everything is blacklisted as default | 02:57 |
| philipballew | that makes sence. ill do the irc ubuntu or beginers because theres probably more people there | 02:57 |
| iheartubuntu | so dd is copying from oen drive to another? | 02:58 |
| philipballew | thanks! | 02:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | But, but it copies EVERYTHING | 02:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | philipballew: No problem. | 02:58 |
| iheartubuntu | unfortunately, im not ready for my report yet on games night :( | 02:58 |
| iheartubuntu | will have to be next meeting | 02:58 |
| DarkwingDuck | and I'm in crunch mode so everything has gotten ignored 'cept docs | 02:59 |
| iheartubuntu | if its copying doesnt it depend then on the computer itself? the USBs and/or the connections? | 02:59 |
| DarkwingDuck | Not if you are running the command form a LiveCD | 03:00 |
| DarkwingDuck | Then the firesystems are not actually being used. | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | ok, meeting time! | 03:00 |
| iheartubuntu | my 2.0 USB is really fast compared to 1.0, but my dads new computer he bought today has 3.0 and WOW | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | this shouldn't take long, we have a short agenda | 03:00 |
| DarkwingDuck | firesystems/silesystems | 03:00 |
| * DarkwingDuck gets his popcorn | 03:00 | |
| pleia2 | ==== START ==== | 03:00 |
| iheartubuntu | :) | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11March27 | 03:00 |
| philipballew | quite the big agenda! | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | TOPIC: Ubuntu Global Jam Parties | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | so the Global Jam is next weekend, Apr 1-3 | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | our wiki page for it is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/NattyGlobalJam | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | as you can see we have 2 events planned, one in Walnut Creek on Friday and another in Berkeley on Sunday | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | more are welcome :) | 03:02 |
| DarkwingDuck | These on the loco directory yet? | 03:02 |
| dragon | o/ | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | yes, the links are on the wiki | 03:03 |
| DarkwingDuck | are they all inclusive or, are they topical jams? | 03:03 |
| * eps giggles | 03:04 | |
| pleia2 | the one in Walnut Creek is all inclusive, jono's email about it is here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-ca/2011-March/001640.html | 03:04 |
| dragon | o.O | 03:04 |
| DarkwingDuck | Roger | 03:04 |
| dragon | We have a meeting, right? | 03:04 |
| pleia2 | for the Berkeley one I put on the wiki: Focus: Testing and Bugs | 03:04 |
| DarkwingDuck | We are in the meeting now dragon | 03:04 |
| pleia2 | dragon: this is the meeting :) | 03:05 |
| aaditya | Oh, no wonder. | 03:05 |
| iheartubuntu | :) | 03:05 |
| aaditya | I see no messages on my pidgin. | 03:05 |
| DarkwingDuck | ? | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | but even at the Berkeley one we can do other stuff too | 03:05 |
| pleia2 | DarkwingDuck: were you going to do a virtual doc jam? | 03:06 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm still thinking about setting one up online but, it all depends how much crunch work I have. | 03:06 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:06 | |
| DarkwingDuck | But yes. I'll post date and time on the ML | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | cool, thanks :) | 03:07 |
| DarkwingDuck | One of my doc gurus got his lappy stolen | 03:07 |
| DarkwingDuck | So crunch time +1 | 03:07 |
| pleia2 | oh, and I mailed the list about it this morning, but in case you're interested in running one but are not sure how, there is an event in #ubuntu-classroom tomorrow geared toward getting everyone ready: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJamBootcamp | 03:08 |
| pleia2 | yeah, poor nixternal :( | 03:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | Yeah... I called him last night... still no luch | 03:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | *luck | 03:08 |
| pleia2 | ok, any thing else about the Jams? | 03:09 |
| DarkwingDuck | Lets get good quality work out there... | 03:09 |
| DarkwingDuck | These Jams help us Devs more then people know. | 03:10 |
| DarkwingDuck | ESP Unity | 03:10 |
| DarkwingDuck | Unity needs some major TLC | 03:10 |
| * DarkwingDuck gets off his soapbox | 03:10 | |
| pleia2 | :) | 03:10 |
| pleia2 | TOPIC: Announcements, other things | 03:12 |
| pleia2 | anyone have any bright ideas? comments? rants? | 03:12 |
| DarkwingDuck | Unity needs testors and bug reporting | 03:12 |
| DarkwingDuck | :P | 03:12 |
| philipballew | whats the best way to do that? | 03:13 |
| philipballew | do i need to actually install 11.04 or can i report bugs from my vbox machine just fine? | 03:13 |
| DarkwingDuck | Download and install a daily live CD http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 03:13 |
| pleia2 | only if vbox supports accelerated graphics for your card | 03:13 |
| DarkwingDuck | vbox will not give you the Unity 3D | 03:14 |
| philipballew | hum. i can partition this week then | 03:14 |
| pleia2 | there is an experimental thing to enable 3d in vbox, but it hardly works for anyone :\ | 03:14 |
| pleia2 | this is one of the many reasons they need more testers, it's harder to do testing because you pretty much have to do it on actual hardware | 03:15 |
| DarkwingDuck | Here are the list of bugs | 03:15 |
| DarkwingDuck | https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity | 03:15 |
| eps | DarkwingDuck: I was expecting we'd be working from Beta 1 | 03:15 |
| pleia2 | the beta 1 or the daily build | 03:15 |
| pleia2 | (beta1 comes out on the 31st) | 03:15 |
| DarkwingDuck | Here are the list of new bugs. https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New | 03:16 |
| DarkwingDuck | Replicate and confirm the bugs is a good start. | 03:16 |
| philipballew | gotta build that karma somehow | 03:16 |
| DarkwingDuck | This is a simple way to help with Unity | 03:17 |
| * eps would really like to see how viable Natty is on machines with older, less-capable video hardware | 03:19 | |
| philipballew | unity is gonna be interesting. should see what happens | 03:19 |
| DarkwingDuck | :) | 03:19 |
| pleia2 | ok, anything else? | 03:19 |
| pleia2 | eps: if Unity doesn't work for some reason it falls back to regular gnome (it did this flawlessly on my VM), so I wouldn't worry too much | 03:20 |
| pleia2 | alright, I think we can wrap this up then :) | 03:21 |
| pleia2 | thanks everyone | 03:21 |
| pleia2 | ==== END ==== | 03:21 |
| DarkwingDuck | :D | 03:21 |

| iheartubuntu | does anyone here have any experience with LinuxCNC? | 03:25 |
| iheartubuntu | http://www.linuxcnc.org/ | 03:25 |
| pleia2 | I'll be in puerto rico during our next meeting | 03:25 |
| akk | puerto rico! sounds fun | 03:25 |
| pleia2 | yeah, my boyfriend is going for work so I'm tagging along | 03:26 |
| pleia2 | (resort hotel paid for by work? don't mind if I do!) | 03:26 |
| akk | \o/ | 03:26 |
| iheartubuntu | NICE! | 03:26 |
| pleia2 | networking conferences in tropical places are nice :) | 03:26 |
| * iheartubuntu lived in BVIs for a year | 03:26 | |
| iheartubuntu | any plans to go to Tortola pleia2? | 03:27 |
| pleia2 | iheartubuntu: no plans aside from pools and pina coladas | 03:27 |
| pleia2 | we're staying in san juan | 03:27 |
| iheartubuntu | nice | 03:27 |
| eps | Say hola to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PuertoRicoTeam | 03:28 |
| pleia2 | :) | 03:28 |
| pleia2 | I'm actually going to try very hard to take a proper Ubuntu-less vacation | 03:29 |
| pleia2 | (I'll have email so I'll probably fail - but I will try!) | 03:29 |
| iheartubuntu | for me i go to bed and wake up in what seems like 1 minute of sleep | 03:32 |
| iheartubuntu | like i didnt even sleep! | 03:32 |
| iheartubuntu | but i did! | 03:32 |
| iheartubuntu | so is the life | 03:33 |
| iheartubuntu | i could use a vaca | 03:33 |
| akk | You want a cow? | 03:34 |
| akk | :) | 03:34 |
| iheartubuntu | -tion | 03:34 |
| iheartubuntu | :) | 03:34 |
| iheartubuntu | my dad just bought a Gateway slimline computer today. i3 with 1TB starage. not bad for $500 | 03:39 |
| iheartubuntu | 4GB mem | 03:39 |
| iheartubuntu | I tried to go into windows and it took more time for the "first time turning on" section than it did to install ubuntu | 03:41 |
| iheartubuntu | so i tried to burn a system restore disc in win7 in case ubuntu gave me a prob. win7 failed at burning a disc! | 03:41 |
| iheartubuntu | so i said piss on it, and wiped win7 off and installed ubuntu 10.10 | 03:41 |
| iheartubuntu | my dad is super happy! | 03:41 |
| akk | yay | 03:41 |
| iheartubuntu | i has 10.04 on his old single core P4 with 1GB ram system and it finally failed. but not bad for 11 yr old computer | 03:42 |
| grantbow-a | Sorry for missing the meeting, delayed without a computer. Ttys | 03:42 |
| eps | iheartubuntu: I hope they let you order recovery discs somehow | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | grantbow-a: no worries, not much on the agenda anyway :) | 03:43 |
| iheartubuntu | ive got a free ubuntu recovery disc :) | 03:43 |
| iheartubuntu | no win7 for us | 03:43 |
| grantbow-a | K, thanks | 03:43 |
| iheartubuntu | my sis had a prob with newegg a few years ago | 03:44 |
| eps | Sometimes you "need" one ... to upgrade firmware, get warranty support, etc. | 03:44 |
| grantbow-a | This android phone isn't ideal for IRC. Cya. | 03:44 |
| iheartubuntu | how would i do a firmware upgrade on an ubuntu system anyways? | 03:45 |
| iheartubuntu | if they only offer EXE | 03:45 |
| eps | Boot from flash media? | 03:46 |
| akk | Sometimes you can make a bootable DOS or Freedos disk. | 03:46 |
| akk | That won't work for all firmware upgrades, though. | 03:46 |
| iheartubuntu | ohh interesting. ive always wondered that | 03:53 |
| iheartubuntu | but then, i cant recall the last time i ever needed to do a firmware upgrade | 03:53 |
| akk | We just had to on our router -- there was an SSL bug, and fixing it required running a windows-or-mac program. :( | 03:54 |
| iheartubuntu | that bytes | 03:56 |
| eps | Confused: Gateway is Acer now? http://secure.tx.acer.com/RCDB/Main.aspx?brand=gateway | 03:56 |
| iheartubuntu | i heard gateway was either going to fold or get bought out | 03:57 |
| iheartubuntu | i like gateway more than acer | 03:57 |
| iheartubuntu | some of the acer boxes look so cheap | 03:57 |
| pleia2 | I liked the cow boxes | 03:57 |
| iheartubuntu | i have two cows | 03:57 |
| iheartubuntu | 32 bit at work, 64 at home right here | 03:57 |
| akk | I saw a nice gateway netbook in a store a few weeks ago. | 03:58 |
| akk | Don't think I'd seen them in stores before. | 03:58 |
| akk | but yeah, I liked the cows too | 03:58 |
| philipballew | gateway used to have their own stores. they made the computer store what it is | 04:00 |
| eps | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway,_Inc. | 04:01 |
| iheartubuntu | i used to have a gateway store near me in monrovia | 04:04 |
| jhanafrog | what's going on peeps | 04:04 |
| jhanafrog | i hear good things about gateways and linux | 04:05 |
| eps | Speaking of cows, Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day is April 12 this year. | 04:05 |
| philipballew | i have a emachine | 04:05 |
| philipballew | its owned by gateway | 04:05 |
| philipballew | best desktop ive owned | 04:05 |
| iheartubuntu | emachine? | 04:10 |
| jhanafrog | whoa serious philipballew? i didn't know emachines were that great | 04:17 |
| jhanafrog | when they first came out, like a million years ago, they were like the "thrift" model | 04:18 |
| philipballew | it may be not that powerful but the thing had been through hell and come out alive. many times. it has never had a problem and its been 7 years. ubuntu runs perfect on it | 04:18 |
| jhanafrog | or thrift "brand" | 04:19 |
| jhanafrog | maybe your model is a higher end one though, and more recent | 04:19 |
| philipballew | its after gateway bought them that they got better | 04:19 |
| akk | When they were young and the thrift brand, they were sometimes quite good (though variable). | 04:19 |
| philipballew | it is basic but just robust | 04:19 |
| akk | We had a couple of emachines that were way better than, say, Dells or Gateways of the time. | 04:19 |
| akk | They used standard parts so they were repairable. | 04:20 |
| philipballew | thats one thing i like | 04:20 |

| DarkwingDuck | If it does I'll be blogging tonight. | 05:05 |
| jhanafrog | your netbook has a 200GB drive in it? | 05:08 |
| jhanafrog | or is it an external drive? | 05:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | No, | 05:08 |
| DarkwingDuck | /dev/sdc was a portable drive | 05:08 |
| jhanafrog | 1 | 05:11 |
| jhanafrog | ok | 05:11 |
| jhanafrog | is there a way to include a password to a remote system in scp for automation in a script? | 06:39 |
| nhaines | jhanafrog: don't do that. Use an RSA key instead. | 06:40 |
| jhanafrog | no thanks | 06:41 |
| nhaines | Suit yourself. | 06:42 |
| jhanafrog | i just need something simple right now | 06:42 |
