jcastroI just don't get it15:00
jcastrohttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=172162715:00
jcastrodoes anyone think I'm being unreasonable here?15:00
popeywell, my perspective is that "How-to" guides should not be in the forums, but nobody listens to me15:05
nhandlerThe forum also tends to rank very well in google search results (especially the archive), so I often find answers burried in there. Many of the answers that I find are really not appropriate for the wiki. I do agree that guides/howtos should be moved to the wiki or something similar. I also feel that anytime you are following advice on the forum or IRC or anything like that, you should always be cautious if you ...15:11
nhandler... don't know the user giving the help15:11
PiciBut similar to that, contributors to the wiki aren't vetted in advance etiher.15:12
popeydoesnt matter15:17
popeywiki is editable15:17
popeyso crack can be fixed15:17
PiciRight.15:17
jcastroright15:20
jcastrothe wiki being broken is another problem15:20
jcastrotrue, it sucks and doesn't help the cause15:21
jcastrothough I don't want to slight the ndiswrapper person's work, because it looks substantial15:21
jcastroeven though all that does is break people's stuff15:21
jcastroand the real answer is "go spend $20 on a new dongle"15:22
jcastrobut whatever, at least the person is keeping it up to date15:22
jcastro"I have changed my mind on this topic. I think that the most important thing is to grow & optimise the Ubuntu wiki."15:30
jcastrohah15:30
jcastrothe second thing I want to delete. :)15:30
akgranerhehe  - I have such a love hate relationship with wiki pages15:34
* JFo loves to hate them15:37
duanedesignjcastro: i tried to come to your defense in that thread on the forum15:39
jcastroI think everyone needs to collectively realize (and this is project wide) that deleting things can be just as useful as writing them15:40
duanedesignjcastro: definetly if the info is worth keeping it is worth moving to a resource that can be maintained15:41
duanedesignjcastro: not only the wiki but I have my BOUCFT projrct. It tales the best of the forums and puts it in DocBook format viewable by Yelp15:42
akgranerwhat is a "bamfdaemon" cause whatever it is it keeps crashing...:-/15:47
* akgraner goes to look it up :-)15:47
jcastroakgraner: it's a window matcher15:49
jcastrojust submit the crasher and mark it unprivate15:49
jcastrotons of fixes tomorrow folks!15:49
duanedesignakgraner: \o/15:49
duanedesignoops15:49
jcastroever crash I had yesterday was a dupe or already fixed upstream15:49
akgranerand I learned (probably something you all already knew) that I can have Chromium open on startup with all the websites I have been manually opening everyday..like poof magic there it is :-)  I'm super happy :-)15:49
duanedesignakgraner: you are going to be making some screencasts?15:50
akgranerjcastro, awesome :-)15:50
akgranerduanedesign, I can :-)  I have a ton of them to make for the Ubuntu book...so by release I should be good or at least acceptable at making them15:51
duanedesignakgraner: i  just saw it mentioned earlier. I wnt to make an effort to increase the screecast team and the amount of screencasts being made15:52
akgranerthe barnes and noble version of the book with come with an extra cd of howto's :-)15:52
akgraners/with/will15:52
duanedesignakgraner: so if you do make some I would love to put them up on the screencast team resources like screencasts.ubuntu.com and the YouTube site15:53
akgranerduanedesign, I'll send them your way once I have the screencasts done15:53
* akgraner makes a note to do that15:53
duanedesignthank you.If you have any question, or ai can help ley mw know :)15:53

* AlanBell wonders if the "gobby is sub-optimal/etherpad would be better" conversation is actually going to go anywhere18:13
macoAlanBell: has anyone gone over etherpad with orca yet?18:14
AlanBellyes18:18
PendulumI think Luke commented on that thread18:18
macoi think he said a webapp will never beat a desktop app18:20
Pendulumyes18:20
AlanBellmy desktop is behaving badly at the moment, but I did have orca reading etherpad reasonably well18:20
macoi somehow doubt all the ajax hints that should be in there are there in etherpad18:20
Pendulumprobably not18:20
Pendulumhe did try etherpad at one point18:20
Pendulumit wasn't horrible18:20
Pendulumgoogle docs is pretty much unuseable18:21
AlanBellthe point to note is that the new gobby does not work with orca anyway18:21
Pendulumright18:21
macooh ew18:22
=== daker is now known as daker_
AlanBell orca is behaving badly on my desktop at the moment18:25
AlanBellhowever I think it can read etherpad content just fine, however echo by word does not seem to work18:25
AlanBellcharacter by character works fine if you have key echos on18:26
AlanBellthere is never going to be a perfect multi-cursor editor because you can't keep a mental map of the state of the document18:27
jcastrook so it's feature-equivalent18:32
jcastrothey both suck?18:32

czajkowskiyeah but I just closed it18:33
jcastrook holla at me when it goes off again18:33
AlanBelljcastro: etherpad is OK with orca, especially for reading18:34
jcastroAlanBell: if you update the thread with your findings I'll poke again for a decision18:35
czajkowskijcastro: it's when I restart the machine18:35
jcastroczajkowski: oh18:36

jcastroshould have left it ... classic19:33
JFoyep19:33
PendulumI don't understand the messing with classic, either19:34
Pendulumespecially as someone who *can't* use Unity19:34
jcastroI think I'll bring that up in -desktop post meeting19:34
Pendulumreally what this means is that I'm not going to upgrade and possibly can't upgrade for another year19:34
czajkowskiPendulum: point that out in -meeting ?19:35
Pendulum(I can't run 3D, but I need accessibility support and I have a suspicion that 2D a11y support won't be in for Oneiric19:35
Pendulum)19:35
Pendulumczajkowski: decision has already been made that accessibility profiles will default to 'Classic'19:36
jcastrohey JFo19:37
jcastrogather your 1990's linux users19:37
jcastroI am going to ask this question on -desktop19:37
JFook19:38
JFoI'll see who I can find19:39
Pendulummy biggest complaint with Unity as default is idealogical, not technical. But I don't understand why Classic was messed with19:42
JFoon the plus side they are planning to do a full on review with release and desktop it looks like19:42
Pendulumyeah19:43
JFoI like that mdz isn't settling with just rick's opinion19:43
JFoI think that is the correct thing19:43
PendulumI do too19:43
* czajkowski has a lot of respect for mdz he balances things out19:44
czajkowskiand goes to a lot of rounds to find out the right information before making any decsision19:44
Pendulumyes, definitely19:45
popeyPendulum: idealogically how?19:45
PendulumI don't think that a distro that claims that one of its core values is accessibility should have a default desktop that's not accessible19:46
jcastroJFo: ok I'm going to see what rick posts.19:47

jcastroeven if DX is landing /animations/ today19:47

senseNew Netherlands was established in 1614.20:00
senseI believe there were already English by then.20:00
AlanBellyeah, we have proper history20:00
Pendulummaco: they needed some way to train new ministers20:00
senseThat has indeed been a very important reason for establishing universities.20:01
senseThe same reason we founded our first in 1595.20:01
senseWhich actually isn't even long before 1636.20:01
Penduluminterestingly, it's never had an official affiliation with a specific church20:01
macoPlymouth was 1620. were there english here prior to plymouth? if not, nederlanders win20:01
Pendulummaco: Virginia Bay was 1607, I think20:02
AlanBellthis is like one of those slashdot threads about who has the lowest uid20:02
senseThe Pilgrim Fathers weren't the first, were they?20:02
senseThey just took over everything.20:02
Pendulumsense: I think they were the first to really take hold20:02
AlanBellwe were invaded by the Romans in 43 AD, beat that!20:02
senseWikipedia: "On April 10, 1606, King James I of England issued two charters, one for each of the Virginia Companies, London and Plymouth."20:02
senseAlanBell: Indian history is history too! :)20:03
macothis just made me look up whether the reason the dutch came here was mennonite persecution, but it looks like that was 50 years later20:03
Pendulumfirst Dutch were traders, I think20:03
Pendulumand Pennsylvannia Dutch is German, not Dutch20:04
maco(i said "this society" not "this continent" because the Invasion of the White People marked a societal change, whereas the Brits have been the Brits for 1000 years)20:04

sensePendulum: Dutch, Deutsch and Duits have the same origin.20:04
macoi'm pennsylvanian!20:04
Pendulummaco: you maybe didn't have the history obsession that I did as a kid? ;-)20:05
JanCand "Dietsch"  ;)20:05
* Pendulum did recreation colonial and early 1800s summer camps and everything20:05
sensePendulum: They all referred to a group of people living in the Netherlands and probably a large part of Germany. We and the Germans started to use it for all Germans, the English for Dutch.20:05
macoPendulum: i had a field trip to meet the amish! and they splained this! and i even was thinking it a couple days ago! and i still forgotted20:05
* Pici remembers learning most of this in school20:05
macoPendulum: also, my obsession with history is several centuries earlier than yours20:05
* maco is going to Pennsic this year!20:05
PiciI don't necessarily remember it, but I remember learning it ;)20:05
Pendulummaco: I live with a Medieval/Renn Studies major (and if my brother lived here, it'd be with 2)20:06

Pendulummaco: ask my mum about it this summer since I suspect we will see you again :P20:06
senseI like it how we funded the US rebels as part of our anti-British foreign policy and now we are controlled by the US. It's inverse!20:06
macoPendulum: for a moment, i thought you meant you were going to come to pennsic too20:06
senseHistory is awesome.20:07
macothen i remembered20:07
* maco smiles at Dr Moon20:07
Pendulummaco: nope. I don't have SCA interests and will probably not be travelling at that point anyway20:07
maco(this isnt #kubuntu-devel... can i still make gratuitous Doctor Who references and have them be recognised?)20:08
Pendulummaco: :)20:08

AlanBellhttp://starrgazr.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/john-cleeses-letter-to-america/20:09
JanCsense: the funny thing about New Amsterdam is also that the first "Dutch" settlement there were people from Hainaut (part of the French-speaking Wallonia in Belgium)   :P20:09
PendulumI need to catch up. I haven't actually seen the 2nd half of the last series :-/20:09
PiciNew Series starts on the 23rd.20:10
macoAlanBell: #1 also needs "leisure" and "schedule"20:10
senseJanC: Nationality wasn't very important. During the Anglo-Dutch wars many Dutch ships were manned with English, who fought for us because we paid better.20:10
JanCit was part of the Netherlands back then I think20:11
JanCbut French-speaking  ;)20:11
senseAlanBell: That is an awesome letter. Though terribly politically incorrect, probably. But great. :)20:11
senseJanC: In those days Belgium was the primary battlefield of the Western world. Territory there has changed hands much since.20:11
sense"(except Kansas, which she does not fancy)" LOL20:12
macoAlanBell: "leisure" now sounds right to me your way. listened to Rat Race by the Specials a few too many times ;-)20:12
JanCsense: it's still, just nowadays it's diplomatic battles being fought  ☺20:12
sensefitting20:12
sensemaco: In the US the pronounce it like leesure, right?20:12
macosense: yes20:13
JanCwith the EU, NATO, Swift, etc. all being located in/near Brussels20:13

maco"You must tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us mad."20:20
JanCdidn't a million people tell you who killed him already?  ;)20:22
PiciWow, Hoary was released 6 years ago tomorrow.20:22
macoAlanBell: how does the pronunciation of "revocation" differ between the US and the UK though?20:23
sensemaco: Maybe it's just about the meaning.20:25
macosense: it says pronunciation20:25
sensefor aluminium20:25
sensemaco: howjsay.com puts the stress on the first e20:26
macoaluminium i knew about it20:27
senseWe had to learn this whole list of differences at school and make a choice to stick with.20:27
macothe one in howjsay sounds normal to me20:27
AlanBellmaco: no idea, I just say "revocation"20:28
AlanBellwell actually I don't very much, pretty rare word to actually use20:28
sensehowjsay usually says two when the British and American pronuncation differ20:28
sensee.g. http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=either20:29
sense'12. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling “gasoline”) – roughly $8/US per gallon. Get used to it.' Will you survive?20:29
macosense: ee versus aye in "either" isnt USvUK20:32
sensemaco: Oh, of course. I forgot that. I actually heard Jeremy Clarkson say eether at least once.20:33
maco(at least, in the US both are acceptable!)20:33
senseWell, the Oxford Dictionary uses -ize, the differences aren't always following country boundaries.20:33
jcastroJFo: I doomed myself yesterday20:33
JFohow so?20:34
jcastroso usually towards late beta I backup/clean/and redo20:34
JFoyeah20:34
jcastroso I did that yesterday, kickstart20:34
jcastroit takes me like an hour tops20:34
jcastroall smooth20:34
jcastrothen, I spent some time making it just right20:34
jcastrotoday I realize I i386'ed, so I'm missing like 6+gb of ram20:35
JFoargh!20:35
jcastro"man why are my VMs so slow?!?!"20:35
JFooh man, that sucks20:35
jcastroit got the wrong netboot img20:35
JFoI almost did that on this laptop last time20:35
JFoI was kicking off the install when I realized20:35
JFoare you fixed now or are you gonna have to redo it?20:36
jcastrothis is why I want cobbler20:36
jcastrojust go do that stuff20:36
jcastroand gen me a nice curses menu on pxe pls.20:36

JFoI'm going crazy looking at bugs20:37
JFowell, I was always crazy20:37
jcastroI know right20:37
JFojust getting worse, I fear20:37
jcastroit's nice to redo it all clean, and look back on the cycle20:37
JFoyep20:37
popey20:32:28 < maco> sense: ee versus aye in "either" isnt USvUK20:39
popeythats not clear cut20:39
jcastroakgraner: everything's set, just need announcements20:40
macopopey: is only one accepted there while both are fine here?20:45
* jcastro wishes we defaulted to 32px for the launcher20:58
mhall119if Fedora 16 is called the Beefy Miracle, the rest of the FLOSS community no longer gets to complain about Ubuntu release names21:16
popeyi doubt redhat will allow that to happen21:16
mhall119jcastro: better idea would be to auto-size based on the number of launchers kept in the launcher21:16
mhall119the more you have, the smaller the icons21:16
mhall119popey: allow which, the name, or people no longer complaining about Ubuntu's names21:17
popeythe name :)21:17
mhall119that'd be pretty anti-community, if someone decided to unilaterally reject a name with popular support21:18
mhall119</snark>21:19
* popey whispers the worlds smallest 'meh'21:19
* jcastro is glad we don't mention the names as prominently as we used to21:20

jonojcastro, awesome21:21
jonothanks21:21
jcastrojono: and in awesome news, seb made the classic mode classic again21:22
jcastroso it's what it was before, not like the old panel with the weird menu and appmenu21:22
jcastrojono: in case you missed it the ayatana scrollbars are in too21:24
popeyubuntu.com seems sick21:26
czajkowskipopey: in what way ?21:30
jonojcastro, cool21:31
jonojcastro, yeah scrollbars don't work on all apps21:31

popeywondering whether to put it on the cc agenda21:35
pleia2yeah, I think we should21:36
popeyleave -users alone, just kill sounder21:36
jcastrosounder used to be so amazing. :(21:36
Technovikingsweet naaty working on Macbook, now to get Unity running21:36
pleia2I never really bought the argument of "if we don't have sounder the ubuntu-users list will have no where to dump the offtopic people"21:36
pleia2actually, they have the rest of the internet :)21:36
popeythe offtopic people can.. GTFO IMO21:37
Technovikingcrap can't upgrade now, unity package are being help back21:37
jcastroTechnoviking: you're in the middle of the upload21:37
jcastroTechnoviking: it's ok, it's nothing but fixes, give it until the top of the hour21:37

akgranerjcastro, roger that21:38
popey:)21:38
TechnovikingWith Sounder, #ubuntu-offtopic, and Community Cafe forum Ubuntu slogan should be "Ubuntu, we let you bitch":)21:39
pleia2I don't know much about the forums, but the other two are mostly just toxic21:40
jcastrobut it used to not be like that21:40
jcastroit was like how we are in here right now21:40
jcastrochit chat fun21:40
pleia2I was actually interested in the unity thread (they were all complaining and stuff, but it's nice to know what people are complaining about)21:40
pleia2not so much interested when they started on a giant rant about israel and palestine21:40
Technovikingpleia2: the worst part it is really a few people stirring up folks21:41
pleia2Technoviking: yeah :\21:41
pleia2and we've talked to them before21:41
Technovikingthe unity rwached Godwin at epic speed21:41
popeyi should have stepped in early on21:42
popey:(21:42
pleia2you've worn the flak jacket a lot on both -users and sounder21:43
pleia2no one else is willing to (I'm a bit too thin-skinned at the moment for it)21:44
TechnovikingUnity-fied:) and I think all the hardware except nvidia work on my Macbook Pro OOTB21:44
jcastroi'd be more than happy to get yelled at21:46

Technovikingheh21:47
jcastrocan't we make jono do it?21:47
pleia2more eyes on -users would be nice too (but that's calmed down a lot)21:48

pleia2lol21:48
Technovikingis skype in natty yet in canonical archive?21:48

Technovikingbbiab, need to get son at school21:49
jcastrook on second thought, I'm staying out of sounder21:50
jcastroreading that makes me want to quit21:50
jcastrosomeone should really flag all this junk for the CC though21:50
popeyas far as I can tell everyone joining in is a non-contributor, in pretty much every sense21:51
jcastroto be fair, ogra has been complaining about the noise/garbage in ubuntu-user for like 4 years.21:53
popey-users is much better21:53

JanCI seem to remember that during the presentation of etherpad at UDS-M the thing went into zen-meditation mode and stopped responding  ;)22:49
jcastroJanC: that's because it was running on some cheap linode22:50

jcastroor on some i386 in his living room22:51

AlanBellwhich we did move on to after we knocked down the first one22:52
popeysorry, didnt mean it like that22:52
AlanBellits OK, I agree with you22:53
JanCwell, it was probably also because 100 people connected within seconds22:53
AlanBellyeah, all loading the UI22:53
AlanBellthe actual load of running clients isn't going to be much at all22:54
popeymaybe we could set one up and see how many people we can get on it22:54
AlanBellI did pre-announce that I was going to demo etherpad and that server as a lightning talk22:54
JanCI was on the server before the talk started BTW  ;)22:55
AlanBellI just didn't make it clear I was going to start the talk with "everyone pile on this URL, lets see if we can crash this thing"22:55
