| mhall119 | especially right after a release | 02:57 |
| cjohnston | hes gone | 02:58 |
| mhall119 | :( | 02:58 |
| cjohnston | mhall119: nigelb doesnt believe that im just a peon | 03:10 |
| nigelb | haha | 03:10 |
| * ajmitch guesses we should probably try & get approved as a loco team to get shiny cds :) | 03:13 | |
| mhall119 | lol, cjohnston | 03:13 |
| mhall119 | ajmitch: or pool your money and buy a box | 03:13 |
| nigelb | mhall119: I can't belive a peon isn't as powerful as the CEO :P | 03:15 |
| nigelb | that's how it works in govt offices here;) | 03:15 |
| mhall119 | to be honest, I've seen how people drive over there, I can't say I'm surprised | 03:16 |
| nigelb | lol | 03:17 |
| cjohnston | lol | 03:17 |
| nigelb | If you're ever in Bangalore, remind me to take you on a bike trip :-) | 03:17 |
| mhall119 | hell | 03:17 |
| mhall119 | no | 03:17 |
| nigelb | haha | 03:17 |
| cjohnston | mhall119: I believe you made an error.. | 03:17 |
| cjohnston | It should be: | 03:18 |
| nigelb | did you see that post on planet? | 03:18 |
| cjohnston | HELL | 03:18 |
| cjohnston | NO | 03:18 |
| nigelb | "If you ever go to Bangalore, don't forget to try some extreme sports like taking a cab or crossing the road. Adrenaline rush guaranteed." | 03:18 |
| nigelb | mhall119: ^^ | 03:18 |
| cjohnston | lol | 03:18 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I remember that | 03:18 |
| nigelb | this was on the planet :-P | 03:18 |
| ajmitch | bangalore sounds like a fun place to visit | 03:18 |
| nigelb | Oh, it totally is :-) | 03:19 |
| cjohnston | mhall119 can you find out who is responsible for unity.u.c | 03:19 |
| cjohnston | im thinking the theme is ours, in which case, its borked | 03:19 |
| ajmitch | it doesn't look overly bad | 03:20 |
| ajmitch | except maybe the 'click here' links | 03:20 |
| cjohnston | ajmitch: the favicon is wrong | 03:20 |
| cjohnston | the main-nav color is wrong | 03:20 |
| cjohnston | im sure i could come up with something else like the footer color probably being wrong | 03:20 |
| mhall119 | yeah, looks like our old one, have you asked newz? | 03:21 |
| cjohnston | he never knows.. all these sites pop up that he knows nothing about | 03:21 |
| cjohnston | i asked jcastro, and am waiting to hear from him | 03:21 |
| mhall119 | heh, he's who I was gonna ask | 03:21 |
| cjohnston | we need an official list of sites that use our themes for updating purposes | 03:21 |
| mhall119 | how about an installable package and a PPA? | 03:22 |
| cjohnston | go for it | 03:22 |
| mhall119 | though I'm not sure how to do that for wordpress | 03:22 |
| cjohnston | problem then is compatibility | 03:23 |
| mhall119 | django is easy | 03:23 |
| cjohnston | i.e. LD has special stuff... | 03:23 |
| mhall119 | LD's special stuff is in LD's code only | 03:23 |
| cjohnston | ya.. but like if the mothership stuff just appeared it would bork up | 03:24 |
| mhall119 | we'd have to make sure additions like that didn't bork stuff | 03:24 |
| cjohnston | we arent that prepared | 03:25 |
| cjohnston | we bork stuff every few releases doing everything by hand | 03:25 |
| cjohnston | lol | 03:25 |
| mhall119 | that's what makes it fun :) | 03:25 |
| cjohnston | hmm | 03:25 |
| cjohnston | i seem to remember something about summit borking | 03:25 |
| mhall119 | yeah, my code too | 03:26 |
| cjohnston | !fail | 03:26 |
| ubot4 | Factoid 'fail' not found | 03:26 |
| cjohnston | someone change !fail to be "mhall119 borked summit!" | 03:26 |
| mhall119 | I updated summit's code so that it didn't break in South 0.7, and ended up making in break in 0.6 | 03:27 |
| cjohnston | lol | 03:28 |
| nigelb | haha | 03:28 |
| cjohnston | we need to get new souths! | 03:28 |
| mhall119 | +1 on that | 03:28 |
| cjohnston | make them north! | 03:28 |
| cjohnston | can i submit an rt for it? | 03:28 |
| mhall119 | if you feel like getting shot down, sure | 03:28 |
| nigelb | heh | 03:29 |
| mhall119 | actually some internal stuff is using newer South already | 03:29 |
| mhall119 | so it's possible | 03:29 |
| cjohnston | boo! | 03:29 |
| mhall119 | we can also include a local copy if we wanted | 03:29 |
| mhall119 | or use bzr_apps to pull it in | 03:29 |
| cjohnston | +2 | 03:30 |
| nigelb | mhall119: bzr_apps is like git submodule? | 03:31 |
| mhall119 | I don't know, but probably not, since bzr_apps is only really for django | 03:31 |
| cjohnston | git what? | 03:31 |
| cjohnston | whats git | 03:31 |
| cjohnston | :-P | 03:31 |
| mhall119 | there used to be, once upon a time, a "forest" extension to bzr, which did sub-trees | 03:31 |
| mhall119 | but I think that's long dead | 03:31 |
| nigelb | bah | 03:32 |
| nigelb | git submodules are actually quite cool to pull in latest stuff | 03:32 |
| mhall119 | I used hg subrepos, probably close to the same | 03:32 |
| nigelb | mhall119: didn't I tell you about adds.mozilla.org? they use git submodules to get their stuff up-to-date all the time | 03:33 |
| mhall119 | nothing like that for bzr that I know of | 03:33 |
| mhall119 | nigelb: never told me about it, no | 03:33 |
| nigelb | ok, in that case, I just told you :-P | 03:33 |
| mhall119 | :P | 03:33 |
| nigelb | argh | 03:34 |
| nigelb | apparnetly, the travel insurance I got isn't enough. | 03:34 |
| nigelb | Sigh | 03:34 |
| mhall119 | enough for what? | 03:34 |
| nigelb | enough for europe | 03:35 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: sysadmins say to please file an RT about unity.u.c | 03:36 |
| ajmitch | you need to pay more protection money to travel to dangerous places like europe? | 03:36 |
| nigelb | ajmitch: no, I need to pay enough so that the insurance covers emergency travel back to my home country :\ | 03:37 |
| ajmitch | ouch | 03:37 |
| * ajmitch hates to think what it'd cost to cover a trip from europe back to nz | 03:37 | |
| cjohnston | mhall119: I need to get the theme completely ready | 03:37 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: there's a newer WP theme already isn't there? | 03:38 |
| nigelb | ajmitch: not much actually, its only in the case of health emergency. | 03:38 |
| cjohnston | we are seperating the "community" theme from the "official sites that use the community theme" theme | 03:38 |
| ajmitch | nigelb: yeah, but it's a long way back to NZ :) | 03:38 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: um, why? | 03:38 |
| mhall119 | just cause of mothership? | 03:38 |
| cjohnston | to add mothership among other things | 03:38 |
| mhall119 | :( | 03:38 |
| mhall119 | that means a minimum of 3 different theme branches to keep in sync | 03:39 |
| nigelb | ajmitch: like I guessed, the premium is < 25 aud ;) | 03:39 |
| cjohnston | i know | 03:39 |
| nigelb | mhall119: yay | 03:39 |
| nigelb | that sounds like nightmare :) | 03:39 |
| cjohnston | until we can get the mothership a pull thing | 03:39 |
| cjohnston | can you work on that | 03:39 |
| cjohnston | ??? | 03:39 |
| mhall119 | nigelb: no kidding | 03:39 |
| cjohnston | please! | 03:39 |
| mhall119 | mothership a pull thing? | 03:40 |
| cjohnston | where the mothership is hosted in one place, and pulled by all sites that use it | 03:40 |
| cjohnston | newz and i have talked about it | 03:40 |
| nigelb | what is mothership and why is it called so? | 03:40 |
| cjohnston | planet.u.c | 03:41 |
| cjohnston | nigelb: the white bar at the top | 03:41 |
| mhall119 | I actually have a task to do that for main-nav on isd sites, so I'll be figuring out how to do this kind of thing | 03:41 |
| cjohnston | good | 03:41 |
| nigelb | cjohnston: ah :\ | 03:41 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: it's no simple thing though, because the web sucks for this kind of thing | 03:42 |
| cjohnston | you can change it to do mothership too! | 03:42 |
| cjohnston | just an include! | 03:42 |
| cjohnston | :-P | 03:42 |
| cjohnston | im off for the night | 03:42 |
| cjohnston | cya | 03:42 |
| nigelb | I can help I think | 03:42 |
| mhall119 | night | 03:42 |
| nigelb | I seem to end having experienc in this kind of tricks :p | 03:43 |
| nigelb | mhall119: you're up for 5 pm tomorrow right? | 03:43 |
| mhall119 | still planning on it, yeah | 03:45 |

| mhall119 | morning | 13:00 |
| paultag | morning mhall119 | 13:23 |
| mhall119 | morning paultag | 13:23 |
| paultag | mhall119: having a tough time with that ctrl +a, dude | 13:23 |
| paultag | tried it like 3 times | 13:23 |
| mhall119 | that's because Chrome isn't an email client dude | 13:23 |
| paultag | :P | 13:23 |
| paultag | (says the newly employed web developer) | 13:24 |
| mhall119 | technically I've been employed as a web developer most of my career | 13:24 |
| mhall119 | and I never once wrote an email client in HTML | 13:24 |
| paultag | I did, for shits | 13:25 |
| paultag | it was pretty bad | 13:25 |
| mhall119 | well, there was that one email form in Perl that let people pass spam though our servers, but I was young and experimenting with new things | 13:25 |
| mhall119 | it turns out that "elite hackers" can view the source of the form and change the "To" field.... | 13:26 |
| YoBoY | what you do with the ctrl+a ? | 13:26 |
| paultag | YoBoY: mhall119 was trying to get me to delete my inbox (so I can get to inbox 0), and he suggested ctrl + a, delete | 13:27 |
| paultag | YoBoY: which is all fine, but I use gmail | 13:27 |
| YoBoY | ok ^^" | 13:27 |
| mhall119 | I use gmail too | 13:27 |
| mhall119 | they have a great IMAP option | 13:27 |
| mhall119 | which works well with *real* email clients | 13:27 |
| paultag | I use that for my phones :) | 13:28 |
| nigelb | mhall119: imap++ | 13:28 |
| paultag | but not my desktop | 13:28 |
| nigelb | paultag: you sir, fail :p | 13:28 |
| paultag | I don't like any of the email clients that are there now | 13:28 |
| paultag | they suck so much | 13:28 |
| paultag | none of them work in any sane way | 13:28 |
| nigelb | Thunderbird -> sucks the least. | 13:28 |
| paultag | I just keep my phone next to my computer, and use that as my notification system, rather then a 10 minute lag on new mail | 13:29 |
| nigelb | haha | 13:29 |
| nigelb | WIN | 13:29 |
| paultag | and the fact that they are so hacked and kludgy really makes me not ever want to use it | 13:29 |
| paultag | not to mention gawd-aweful local sync times | 13:29 |
| paultag | mhall119: so patch up one to not suck, and I'll use it :) | 13:29 |
| paultag | in the meantime, gmail + chrome, q.e.d | 13:30 |
| paultag | . | 13:30 |
| paultag | nigelb: morning :) | 13:30 |
| mhall119 | paultag: you can write your own | 13:30 |
| paultag | mhall119: I have, but they all suck | 13:30 |
| paultag | mhall119: because the IMAP protocol kinda sucks | 13:30 |
| paultag | better then POP, but it sucks | 13:30 |
| paultag | we need push-imap | 13:30 |
| paultag | where you keep a long-poll socket running | 13:30 |
| nigelb | mhall119: also, now we know paultag has a dinner date :p | 13:30 |
| mhall119 | or a new, better protocol all together | 13:30 |
| nigelb | morning mhall119 btw :) | 13:30 |
| paultag | mhall119: sure do, with a professor :) | 13:30 |
| mhall119 | nigelb: lol | 13:30 |
| paultag | erm, nigelb | 13:31 |
| mhall119 | hot for teacher huh? | 13:31 |
| paultag | nigelb: my real dinner dates are in my gcal, too many things to keep track of | 13:31 |
| nigelb | haha | 13:31 |
| paultag | after all, gcal is BETTER THEN LOCAL CLIENTS. | 13:31 |
| paultag | mhall119: hehehe | 13:31 |
| paultag | mhall119: one of my best friend's moms is a professor | 13:31 |
| paultag | she cooks for the out of towners | 13:31 |
| YoBoY | there is local calendar clients ? :O | 13:31 |
| mhall119 | man, this goes from bad to worse | 13:31 |
| nigelb | paultag: I'm jealous :p | 13:31 |
| paultag | YoBoY: evolution | 13:31 |
| paultag | nigelb: aye :) | 13:31 |
| YoBoY | evolution... yes but... not for me | 13:32 |
| nigelb | one of the creators of ardunio board is in town | 13:32 |
| mhall119 | YoBoY: Lightning/Thunderbird_+Calendar extension | 13:32 |
| paultag | YoBoY: See!! see!!! | 13:32 |
| paultag | YoBoY: you and I agree | 13:32 |
| nigelb | today I'm meeting him :) | 13:32 |
| paultag | nigelb: woo :) | 13:32 |
| mhall119 | nigelb: nice | 13:32 |
| paultag | nigelb: speaking of arduinos, how's that app coming? >:D | 13:32 |
| nigelb | paultag: didn't get hacking time yet :p | 13:33 |
| paultag | nigelb: oh boo :) | 13:33 |
| nigelb | paultag: probably tomorrow :) | 13:33 |
| paultag | nigelb: woo, send me a screenie :) | 13:33 |
| * mhall119 likes to have offline email and calendar | 13:34 | |
| paultag | mhall119: if you're offline, you're not writing fscking emails, why would you, you're *offline* | 13:35 |
| mhall119 | paultag: not writing, but *reading* I can do | 13:35 |
| paultag | mhall119: meh, if an email is not sparkly enough for me to remember it in the 2 seconds I have to decide if it's spam or not, it's not worth my thyme | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | nor your parsley | 13:36 |
| paultag | heyo | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | :) | 13:36 |
| mhall119 | but seriously, just because we call it spam, doesn't mean it's edible | 13:37 |
| paultag | jeeesus, you're worse then carrot top | 13:37 |
| paultag | BOO!!!!! | 13:37 |
| paultag | BOO!!!!! | 13:37 |
| mhall119 | whaddya want, I haven't even had my first cup of coffee this morning | 13:37 |
| paultag | BOO!!!!! | 13:37 |
| paultag | mhall119: having mine now, it's a sub-par blend of stale grinds left in the storage room of an on-campus bagel place | 13:38 |
| mhall119 | you didn't even read that, you just had "BOO!!!!!" already written waiting to his enter as soon as I said something | 13:38 |
| paultag | ah, the high life | 13:38 |
| paultag | mhall119: yarp, sure did | 13:38 |
| mhall119 | lol | 13:38 |
| paultag | Oh ffs | 13:38 |
| paultag | my netbook batery died | 13:39 |
| paultag | I mean, actually died | 13:39 |
| paultag | like it's not charging | 13:39 |
| mhall119 | I bought a new laptop battery the other day, I'm saving it for my plane trip to Budapest | 13:39 |
| paultag | heh, aye | 13:39 |
| mhall119 | my current one is on it's last legs, doesn't get more than 30 minutes | 13:40 |
| paultag | one sec, testing my power readings. if all goes well, I'll shut down | 13:40 |
| paultag | one moment, plox | 13:40 |
| paultag | yarp, hard shutdown | 13:42 |
| paultag | godddangit | 13:42 |
| paultag | time to get this battery rebuilt >:( | 13:42 |
| mhall119 | rebuilt? | 13:44 |
| paultag | ja | 13:45 |
| paultag | there's a place in cleveland that rebuilds batteries for dirt cheep | 13:45 |
| paultag | like 6 bucks | 13:45 |
| paultag | or I wonder if I can ebay that shit | 13:45 |
| paultag | OK, who wants to donate me a battery? | 13:45 |
| mhall119 | I didn't know rebuilding was even an option... | 13:46 |
| paultag | mhall119: yeah, it's pretty kickass | 13:46 |
| mhall119 | I got mine off ebay for $30 new | 13:47 |
| mhall119 | at a battery store or from Dell, it would have been $150 | 13:47 |
| mhall119 | but I may have to look into this rebuilding thing | 13:47 |
| paultag | mhall119: one of the guys at the clinic was showing me server internal backup batteries that were all "broken", and he just got tons broken on eBay, then sent them to get them rebuilt -- keeps our medical records online | 13:47 |
| paultag | mhall119: it's pretty awesome | 13:47 |
| mhall119 | nice | 13:47 |
| mhall119 | I wish laptops would come with a smaller internal batter that would run it for maybe 5 minutes, so you can swap out the primary | 13:48 |
| paultag | +1 there | 13:48 |
| paultag | OK, BBL. School type stuff | 13:48 |
| paultag | one love | 13:48 |
| mhall119 | have fun | 13:49 |

| u_dp | =-= | 16:10 |
| czajkowski | Aloha | 16:12 |
| u_dp | hi czajkowski | 16:12 |
| daker | Ronnie, just pushed a new version https://code.launchpad.net/~daker/loco-directory/pixie-plugin/+merge/55981 | 16:14 |
| Ishwon | hi... | 16:49 |
| Ishwon | Can someone please tell me how to join the locoteams and start one? We're planning that for Mauritius. | 16:50 |
| YoBoY | hi Ishwon | 16:51 |
| Ishwon | We're actually several LUGs around the island meeting up. Till now, I haven't seen an existing Ubunu Locoteam for MU. | 16:51 |
| dholbach | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto should have some good info on the topic | 16:51 |
| dholbach | also if you have more specific question here's a good place to ask questions | 16:52 |
| dholbach | or on loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com | 16:52 |
| Ishwon | Thanks YoBoy. I went through that page. But the process seems long. That's why I preferred contacting you guys on irc. I work as a Unix Admin & I'm a part-time student @ University of Mauritius. | 16:53 |
| Ishwon | The students union is planning to hold a Linux Seminar and run a workshop to introduce Linux to the general public. | 16:54 |
| YoBoY | Ishwon: yes the process is long, but you can request now some ressources to start, the ndd for example, or a mailing list, or a forum... | 16:55 |
| dholbach | the most important thing is to get people together and get them excited about doing something, over time you'll quickly get organised - have a look at what other teams are doing and ask them if you have questions :) | 16:55 |
| Ishwon | I do have a group of Linux enthusiasts here, and our meeting place is a local cybercafe. Mauritius isn't a 'big' country, so it's kind of easy for anyone to just drop there in a couple of hours. | 16:56 |
| YoBoY | if you need french ressources you can also contact the french locoteam | 16:56 |
| YoBoY | ;) | 16:57 |
| Ishwon | During the workshop we're also planning to launch a website & forum, for people to access info in our local language. | 16:57 |
| dholbach | very nice | 16:58 |
| Ishwon | Mauritians are bi-lingual, so we use both english & french to the same extent. | 16:58 |
| Ishwon | ...well, I'm thinking this workshop will be a good opportunity to register members and officially get an Ubuntu Locoteam. | 16:59 |
| YoBoY | it's a good idea | 16:59 |
| YoBoY | and a good start | 16:59 |
| Ishwon | My existing group comprises of Ubuntu, openSUSE and Mint users mostly. | 17:00 |
| Ishwon | What I'd like to do is make this group a formal one and get Ubuntu users together. | 17:01 |
| YoBoY | it's not a problem, you have to see the ubuntu mauritius locoteam like a meta user group, composed of people from lot of other groups | 17:01 |
| Ishwon | yep...kinda like that. | 17:01 |
| YoBoY | it's the way we see it here in France | 17:02 |
| Ishwon | Once, this is done, I can forward a project file to the University of Mauritius and get their support for the seminar. | 17:02 |
| Ishwon | They've agreed to sponsor us with their conference hall that can accommodate some 500 people, which is very helpful. | 17:03 |
| paultag | Ishwon: :) | 17:04 |
| Ishwon | Through some other contacts, I've managed to get a coverage by our local TV channel; because this will be the first Linux event of MU. | 17:04 |
| Ishwon | well... So, according to the wiki, I should first create a page about my team, right? | 17:05 |
| paultag | Ishwon: sure should | 17:05 |
| paultag | Ishwon: be sure to follow naming conventions for minimal headache :) | 17:06 |
| Ishwon | Yep... Reading the instructions :) | 17:06 |
| paultag | Ishwon: let me know if you need any guidence :) | 17:06 |
| paultag | Ishwon: did you create emirateslocoteam :) | 17:08 |
| paultag | erm, sed s/:)/?/g | 17:08 |
| Ishwon | nah... | 17:08 |
| paultag | oh my jeez | 17:09 |
| Ishwon | what happened, paultag? | 17:10 |
| paultag | Ishwon: sorry, I misread your loco when you first posted in the channel. You just avoided a bit of a whine :) | 17:10 |
| paultag | Ishwon: Oh, nothing. It's just non-standard | 17:10 |
| Ishwon | What's the fastest way to register a Locoteam, though? | 17:11 |
| Ishwon | :) | 17:11 |
| Ishwon | I see a lot of documentation on the wiki, but can't find how to create a page. | 17:12 |
| Ishwon | :( | 17:12 |
| paultag | Ishwon: just go to a new page and it'll ask you to make it | 17:12 |
| paultag | Ishwon: be sure to be logged in | 17:12 |
| Ishwon | I'm logged in... | 17:13 |
| Ishwon | but still...no sign of where to start a page. | 17:14 |
| Ishwon | Guys, still can't find the create page. | 17:24 |
| Ishwon | :( | 17:24 |
| Ishwon | went to wiki.ubuntu.com | 17:24 |
| Ishwon | Went to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuYouth/Howto/CreateWikiPage as well, but it seems the page needs some update. | 17:25 |
| paultag | Ishwon: just go to a page that does not exists | 17:26 |
| paultag | Ishwon: and hit `create page' | 17:26 |
| Ishwon | cool :) | 17:26 |
| Ishwon | got it now! | 17:26 |
| Ishwon | Thanks paul. | 17:27 |

| u_dp | but i don't have a cd drive :( | 18:20 |
| Ronnie | u_dp: you can also create a bootable usbstick | 18:25 |
| u_dp | but my usb ports are epoxied for air gap :( | 18:26 |
| Ronnie | u_dp: your making it difficult... | 18:26 |
| Ronnie | u_dp: you can do an network install, but that requires more knowlegde | 18:27 |
| YoBoY | u_dp: card reader ? | 18:27 |
| Ishwon | guys...i'm kinda stuck with 'loads' of info in front of see. can you please help me register for a LoCo Team? | 18:27 |

| u_dp | so how would i do a network install | 18:31 |
| u_dp | pxe boot or something? | 18:31 |
| leogg | Ishwon, what do you have so far? wiki? | 18:32 |
| Ishwon | I read the instructions on wiki & created a personal page. | 18:34 |
| Ishwon | I have a group of Linux enthusiasts, we got a common meeting place here. | 18:34 |
| leogg | Ishwon, link to the wiki? | 18:35 |
| Ishwon | We intend to register a LoCo Team, to represent Ubuntu in a Linux Workshop at the University of Mauritius. I'm a part-time student there, and a Unix Admin by profession. | 18:35 |
| leogg | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NitinSookun | 18:35 |
| YoBoY | https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam << you can start by creating the team ubuntu-mu (it's mu ?) on launchpad | 18:36 |
| Ishwon | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NitinSookun | 18:36 |
| Ishwon | Yeah, that's right YoBoy. It's MU for Mauritius. | 18:36 |
| Ishwon | Ok, doing that right now. | 18:37 |
| leogg | Ishwon, YoBoY, yes, it's -mu | 18:37 |
| u_dp | Ronnie: any suggestions for network install? | 18:39 |
| leogg | Ishwon, I sent you an invitation to join https://launchpad.net/~locoteams | 18:44 |
| Ronnie | u_dp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 19:04 |
| Ronnie | or you can switch your harddrive to another computer, install ubuntu and switch the hdd back | 19:04 |
| u_dp | my harddrive is soldiered to my motherboard :/ | 19:10 |
| mhall119 | it's what?!?! | 19:11 |
| YoBoY | u_dp: change your computer ^^" | 19:11 |
| mhall119 | +1 YoBoY | 19:11 |
| u_dp | s/soldiered/soldered | 19:11 |
| mhall119 | $20 says it's a Sony | 19:11 |
| u_dp | no man it's for security purposes | 19:11 |
| mhall119 | wtf? | 19:11 |
| u_dp | it's also a solid state disk | 19:12 |
| u_dp | i think the easiest way to install ubuntu would be to desolder the usb connector and attach a usb cable with a usb stick directly | 19:13 |
| YoBoY | you can clean the usb connector ? | 19:13 |
| u_dp | clean it? | 19:14 |
| locodir-user | can anyone tell me where i find the norwegian ubuntu community on irc? | 19:15 |
| YoBoY | locodir-user: try #ubuntu-no | 19:17 |
| cjohnston | http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-no provides you with a link to the chat | 19:17 |
| locodir-user | tx | 19:17 |
| locodir-user | I have a problme.. Want to open a file - installation file in console | 19:20 |
| locodir-user | How do i do that | 19:20 |
| locodir-user | ? | 19:20 |
| u_dp | is it a script? | 19:23 |
| locodir-user | "open konsole in Transformation Pack director" | 19:23 |
| locodir-user | write "chmod +x install.sh" | 19:23 |
| locodir-user | Vistar7 Transformation Pack for Kubuntu | 19:26 |
| u_dp | oh | 19:30 |
| u_dp | so once you do that command | 19:30 |
| u_dp | "chmod +x install.sh" | 19:30 |
| u_dp | you can do "./install.sh" | 19:30 |

| Ronnie | mhall119: is planning to make a ppa of it, so it can be applied on the server | 20:46 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: I'll check on it and see what's the holdup | 20:46 |
| mhall119 | probably it's just that nobody's gotten around it it yet | 20:46 |
