[00:05] <iheartubuntu> wow, 88*F here in socal
[00:05] <pleia2> 72 here
[00:05] <pleia2> it's really beautiful
[00:05] <iheartubuntu> the snow on mt. baldy is going to melt QUICK
[00:15]  * iheartubuntu needs beer -- badly!
[00:22] <kevin5949173> mi abuela has a robot cat.  it purrs
[00:25] <kevin5949173> literally
[00:26] <kevin5949173> iheartubuntu: why?
[00:26] <iheartubuntu> why?
[00:26] <kevin5949173> yeah, why do you need beer
[00:37] <iheartubuntu> why not should be the question :)
[00:42] <kevin5949173> i used to have a flask
[00:42] <kevin5949173> i didn't put beer in it
[00:42] <kevin5949173> it didn't help with tasks / but it sure made me a lunatic
[00:43] <iheartubuntu> ( (( really?? )) )
[00:44] <kevin5949173> yes to the flask, no to the lunacy
[01:00] <kevin5949173> rats, i should have told him "basically"
[03:59] <DarkwingDuck> This feels strange
[04:03] <sn9> ?
[05:39] <akk> pleia2: LOL @ Panchromatic Villa
[05:39] <pleia2> :)
[05:40] <pleia2> autocorrect is great
[05:41] <akk> It could be one of those places that uses colored/flavored tortillas, plus red or green chile ... :)
[05:42] <pleia2> lol
[16:31] <iheartubuntu> my sister upgraded her iphone and now ubuntu wont connect to it. apparently ubuntu wants to do something provacative, because the error message states "Ubuntu wants to mount Denise but is unable to"
[16:33] <sn9> iheartubuntu: there's a ppa that fixes that
[16:34] <iheartubuntu> oh there is?
[16:34] <sn9> yes
[16:34] <akk> What's the issue? unsupported filesystem type?
[16:34] <iheartubuntu> thanks, i will have to check for it
[16:44] <iheartubuntu> got it working thanks sn9!
[16:45] <sn9> yw
[19:35] <nhaines> And thus the solution to the iPhone problem was lost forever.
[19:36] <pleia2> nah, he blogged about it
[19:36] <pleia2> it's on our planet :)
[19:36] <nhaines> pleia2: good!  :)
[19:37] <pleia2> for the sake of logs: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2011/03/ubuntu-iphone-fix-for-upgrades-to-os-4x.html
[19:38] <nhaines> The default set of launcher icons in Unity (now that we're nearly at beta) is *much* nicer than it used to be.  :)
[19:38]  * pleia2 refreshes email for beta announcement
[19:38] <pleia2> will unity run from a livecd?
[19:39] <nhaines> Right now it's [Home, Firefox, Writer, Calc, Impress, Ubuntu Software Center, U1 Control Panel, Workplace switcher, file lens, application lens]
[19:39] <nhaines> It will if you have a blessed ATI or Intel card... nvidia not so much.  But to my delight, it *does* run on my desktop computer's video card once it's installed and the proprietary driver is installed.  :)
[19:40]  * pleia2 haz blessed ATI card
[19:40] <pleia2> I'll have to give it a try
[19:40] <nhaines> Now if they just fix the broken icon and squished panel during install it'll be unstoppable.
[19:41] <pleia2> a fix for this would be nice too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/739812
[19:41] <pleia2> for tablets
[19:42] <pleia2> but tablet support has gotten increasingly better throughout the cycle
[19:44] <nhaines> Hm, that's important.  :(
[19:44] <pleia2> yeah
[19:45] <jono> has anyone seen MarkDude around?
[19:46] <pleia2> jono: not in a week, a few people have emailed and left voicemails, no reply yet AFAIK
[19:46] <sn9> his at&t mailbox is full
[19:46] <pleia2> he was pretty busy with life stuff last week, so I'm hoping he's just busy
[19:46] <jono> pleia2, that's concerning
[19:46] <sn9> very
[19:46] <pleia2> I mentioned it to grantbow last night, he said he'd try to call him too
[19:47] <sn9> grantbow doesn't live that far; he can go check
[19:48] <sn9> unless someone wants to try poking his grandmother on facebook
[19:49] <jono> just tried calling, no answer
[19:50] <sn9> duh
[19:53] <sn9> maybe his phone bought it
[19:53] <sn9> it was always crapping out
[19:57] <iheartubuntu> i have not seen markdude since shortly after scale
[19:57] <iheartubuntu> he was in here a few times a week or two ago
[19:57] <iheartubuntu> had a nice chat with him and havent seen him since
[19:58] <iheartubuntu> yah he was busy with life
[20:10] <jono> MarkDude just called me back - he is fine
[20:10] <jono> pleia2, ^
[20:11] <sn9> FINALLY
[20:12] <pleia2> jono: thanks :)
[20:13] <jono> :-)
[20:28] <iheartubuntu> good good
[20:32] <nhaines> Ugh, OMG!Ubuntu again.
[20:32] <nhaines> "Oh hey!  The beta hasn't been released yet... but you can trash the mirrors now!"
[20:34] <pleia2> ugh :(
[20:35] <pleia2> nhaines: thanks for your reply on that bug (the initial concern was accessibility, I subbed for the tablet angle)
[20:35] <nhaines> pleia2: it just seemed like such a strange thing for sabdfl to say.  :)
[20:36] <pleia2> nhaines: the importance has bounced around a little, I suspect it came up in an internal meeting
[20:36] <pleia2> (launi is a canonical employee)
[20:40] <pleia2> he's also the one who got me involved with the PA LoCo, we were hanging out in philly one day in 2007 and I was like "hey, we should have an ubuntu team" and he said "one is starting, see!"
[20:40] <pleia2> fun times, we've all moved away from PA now :\
[20:40] <nhaines> haha  :)
[20:40] <nhaines> Aww.
[21:18] <iheartubuntu> hi markdude
[21:18] <MarkDude> Hello iheartubuntu
[21:19] <iheartubuntu> hows the gooseberry hangin
[21:20] <MarkDude> Good deal- garden is doing ok also
[21:21] <iheartubuntu> nice. im not doing a garden it looks like :(
[21:22] <iheartubuntu> expanding the garage and will wipe out my raised beds
[21:22] <iheartubuntu> will have to continue the garden after everything is done
[21:24] <MarkDude> Half of the seeds I transplanted into the backyard were eaten overnight
[21:27] <MarkDude> the other half were in the front yard- so they were safe
[21:27] <MarkDude> for the moment
[22:13] <iheartubuntu> Im starting to work on a flyer I will post in different places announcing the Pasadena Ubuntu Hour. Im considering putting a QR Code on the page since most students I see have smartphones nowadays. But not sure what data I should put in the QR Code.
[22:13] <iheartubuntu> Maybe just the Ubuntu Hour wiki page?
[22:13] <iheartubuntu> since that page had ALL the data? time, date, location, etc?
[22:14]  * iheartubuntu is NOT getting a qr code tattoo
[22:17] <akk> Go to the page for the specific UH, not the general "all ubuntu hours" page.
[22:17] <akk> It should take people straight to a page that displays the time and location so they don't have to hunt.
[22:18] <iheartubuntu> thats what im thinking too
[22:18]  * iheartubuntu just hopes someone doesnt draw in an extra square within the qrcode :)
[22:33] <MarkDude> Or change it
[22:33]  * MarkDude thinks it would be way cool to create some QR codes the same size as the posters MS uses-
[22:33] <MarkDude> maybe to Linux sites
[22:34] <iheartubuntu> to ubuntu.com
[22:34] <iheartubuntu> ive seen them stuck on light posts while waiting at a light
[22:35] <akk> That's a cute way to get people to go to your (probably malware) site.
[22:35] <iheartubuntu> for a good time call... and then put a qr code :) haha
[22:35]  * MarkDude needs to make some updated codes for Partimus 
[23:11] <iheartubuntu> will Natty make use of my nvidia drivers for unity or will i need to install those to get unity going
[23:13] <nhaines> Which drivers are you referring to?
[23:18] <iheartubuntu> nvidia drivers
[23:19] <iheartubuntu> whatever the current ones are
[23:19] <nhaines> There are two different drivers, neither of which are installed by default.
[23:20] <iheartubuntu> will i get the unity desktop since they arent installed by default?
[23:20] <nhaines> Currently, it appears (on my system, anyway) that the proprietary drivers (nv) support Unity and the experimental Free drivers (noveau) do not support Unity.
[23:20] <nhaines> No, because Unity requires 3D support.
[23:20] <iheartubuntu> (downloading 11.04 beta... 9 days to go)
[23:21] <iheartubuntu> interesting.
[23:21] <iheartubuntu> so if a computer has no 3D card it also wont have unity?
[23:22] <nhaines> As Unity requires 3D support, that is correct.
[23:23] <akk> For a while they were saying there was a non-3d mode -- but that it would be fairly different from the normal 3d mode.
[23:23] <akk> When people were asking on ubuntu-dev* about testing unity in VMs.
[23:24] <nhaines> akk: there is Unity 2D but that is a parallel project.  It's default in the ARM builds but not installed by default in the desktop builds.
[23:24] <iheartubuntu> i think thats where i got confused. thanks. and i havent kept up on the news
[23:25] <akk> Ubuntu's support for the graphics chip in my laptop (Intel 945 or thereabouts) is fairly crappy and I've never figured out why.
[23:26] <akk> d has the same graphics in his netbook and ubuntu supports it, but maybe something got misconfigured in my install and there's no obvious way to test or fix it.
[23:27] <akk> He can do tuxracer/google earth and I can't.
[23:47] <iheartubuntu> akk - have you done a fresh install lately?
[23:48] <iheartubuntu> my dad has a Dell Inspiron 1525n and did not do 3D a couple of years ago when he bought it. A recent fresh install of Ubuntu fixed that and my dad is doing SuperTuxKart and Speed Dreams no prob
