pace_t_zuluchris4585: kind of have an unfair advantage having the test server so close00:33
pace_t_zuluchris4585: 11 ms is absurdly low00:33
pace_t_zuluping that is00:34
pace_t_zuluthis is off a comcast server in ATL http://www.speedtest.net/result/1252606770.png00:35

cyberanger[Topic] Natty Release on the 28th01:34
MootBotNew Topic:  Natty Release on the 28th01:34
cyberangerWe just had the beta drop today, next is the final on the 28th01:34
pace_t_zuluindeed01:35
cyberangerjfenn2199 is planning a Memphis release party May 7th, I don't have the full details quite yet, he was checking availability on one location first01:36
cyberangerI'll have to get more details shortly01:38
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: anything on your end?01:38
pace_t_zulucyberanger: negative01:38
pace_t_zulucyberanger: regretfully our numbers are few and our schedules are busy01:38
cyberangeryeah, you and Xpistos01:39
cyberangerhowever, nlug would be willing to join I bet01:39
pace_t_zulucyberanger: last time we did an event i was the only one present aside from friends IRL01:39
cyberangerwe've got notice this time01:40
pace_t_zulucyberanger: that's true... but to be frank - i don't think there is much interest01:40
cyberangerand I'd head up depending on time and date01:40
cyberangeroh, well true (and thanks, that's what I need, frank) however last time nlug didn't get notice, or at least useful notice01:41
cyberangerunderstand01:41
cyberangerand with no linuxman410 again, ummm.........01:42
cyberangerchibihogoshino: is it just us in east tn now?01:42
chibihogoshinoi guess so01:42
chibihogoshinoas far as i know01:42
cyberangersorry everyone, hang on a second, I'm checking something real quick01:46
pace_t_zulucyberanger: our numbers are greatest in west tn01:46
pace_t_zuluchibihogoshino: sup01:49
chibihogoshinonot to much..01:49
cyberanger63 Members according to Launchpad 129 on Our mailing list, this is roughly our usual crowd on IRC01:50
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i'd say we have maybe 20 regulars in irc01:50
pace_t_zulucyberanger: think that's about right?01:50
cyberangertwo in nashville area, one in cookeville, one in chattanooga, one in knoxville, and linuxman410 is limited to morristown01:51
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: a little high for lately (16 now, subtract ChanServ MootBot, locobot_4 and ubuntulo1_ )01:51
cyberangerShipIt is no more, replaced with Approved LoCo's doing the work instead01:53
pace_t_zulucyberanger: that's quite a geographic distribution for 6 guys01:53
pace_t_zulucyberanger: ShipIt ?01:53
cyberangeryeah, but is that summing up active members, 6 in Memphis, 6 the rest of the state, give or take01:54

cyberangerpace_t_zulu: what needs to happen to get membership back up01:55
pace_t_zulucyberanger: we can't make people come01:56
cyberangeror even the membership lp says we have active a little more active01:56
pace_t_zulucyberanger: but we can let them know we are here01:56
chibihogoshinoemails would help01:56
cyberangertrue, but can we encourage and give an incentive to be active, more than our current methods01:57
cyberangerchibihogoshino: yeah, that would, I'm trying to fix Mailman to better help with that (our daily digest is a monthly digest)01:57
pace_t_zulucyberanger: do you have any incentives in mind?01:58
chibihogoshinowhat other is there than lurking on irc, being present during the irc meetings and going to the occasional meet ups ?01:58
pace_t_zuluchibihogoshino: that's pretty much what i do01:58
pace_t_zuluchibihogoshino: i am quite happy with that01:59
pace_t_zului'd like to become official though01:59
chibihogoshinoi think part of the problem is that people dont know quite what to do01:59
chibihogoshinoirc isnt that real to allot of people01:59
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: well, chibihogoshino brings up the point right there, maybe doing some installfests, being a little more hands on with lugs, as long as that is in our favor (not pissing them off is the idea, getting known and liked is the goal)02:00
pace_t_zuluchibihogoshino: fair point02:01
cyberangerwe're not even doing meetups lately, memphis is meeting frequently, involved in golem02:01
cyberangerour last help session involved Windows Server (nothing wrong in showing a pleasent group, giving chances to slip in ubuntu here and there, but it's not exactly progress)02:02
chibihogoshinospread the love... :-)02:03
cyberangerthat some don't like IRC (whatever the reason, unfortunately I think these meetings have to be on IRC, which is a shame)02:04
chibihogoshinoyeah .. with how the state is shaped its needed02:04
cyberangerwell, if each region did something each month, had an agenda, gave a report at the meetings like tonight, it'd suit me fine, but idk if the council would agree02:05
pace_t_zulucyberanger: perhaps part of the problem is the regional divisions02:07
cyberangerif there's no intrest there's no intrest, I don't want to burden anyone with illusions there is more intrest than we're seeing, but I do wonder if not doing something helps02:08
pace_t_zulucyberanger: we're still here with continuity for 5 years02:08
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i think there's something to be said for that02:09
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: I thought the loco more or less died in 07, you and w4ett were from that era though, I got on board oct. 08, looked pretty dead to me02:10
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i've been here since around 0602:10
pace_t_zulucyberanger: there were different leaders back then ... but there has been continuity in membership02:10
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i think i recall wrst was around back in those days - i may be wrong though02:11
cyberangerI didn't see much till new years meeting, w4ett and some other few, some intrest timed with a release, like my case (I can't recall why exactly the timing did that) I was told we hadn't done anything for a year02:12
cyberangerbut I suppose lp numbers, at least we hold membership02:12
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i suppose you showed up before wrst - judging by our membership list02:12
cyberangerand on IRC we've held on to the same numbers since the leadership rebuild, more or less02:13
pace_t_zuluZenAdm1n and xTEMPLARx have been around since 200702:13
cyberangerbut, for approval, idk if numbers alone is enough02:13
pace_t_zulucyberanger that frustrates me02:14
cyberangerreally!?! wow! I didn't recall seeing xTEMPLARx in IRC till this past year, of course I hadn't seen him lately02:14
cyberangerthe approval process you mean?02:15
pace_t_zulucyberanger: we've maintained a genial atmosphere in the spirit of ubuntu since 2006 ... i think that is deserving of acknowledgement02:15
cyberangeragreed, making loco council feel that however, that's the goal02:16
pace_t_zulucyberanger: well i suppose i've never interfaced with the main council02:17
cyberangerperhaps if we can get more in the meeting here, and then on the approval process get everyone there, we can make a case, but in two years we'll be up for renewal, with a higher expectation02:17
pace_t_zuluso it wouldn't be reasonable to pass judgement on them02:18
pace_t_zului do my best to be present for every meeting ... try to keep the fire burning02:18
pace_t_zului imagine the bar for loco approval was lower in the past02:19
cyberangerand I do get what your saying, as do they, but our documentation doesn't shine that light (mostly due to what's been documented, unfortunately not like it was before)02:19
cyberangerprobally02:20
cyberangerand if we did this then, perhaps we'd be fine now, re-approval process is new, we have improved02:20
cyberangerhiccups are expected02:20
pace_t_zuluin the meantime we can keep hanging out02:21
pace_t_zulumaybe we'll get an approving nod one day02:22
cyberangersome newer locos have gotten approved, not sure where they differ, except a few, Utah comes to mind, have one city, and not much outside it02:22
cyberangerget a big presence in the city and they may overlook the rest02:22
cyberangerwe've got 4 cities, one solid grip on one02:23
pace_t_zuluperhaps we should reach out to other locos for help with the approval process?02:23
cyberangerto what extent, GA and NC are approved, I can gladly ask02:23
cyberangerwe have some of FL here, and an Advisor from the US loco02:24
pace_t_zulutrue02:24
pace_t_zului feel like NC is more similar to us than GA ...02:25
cyberangerThey both have similar issues, GA mostly has one city though02:25
pace_t_zulucyberanger: that's what i meant... ATL dominates that state02:26
cyberangerin the loco, more elsewhere02:26
cyberangerNC has some of that, but West NC is very much active02:26
cyberangercovers the rual nature of East TN and Middle TN02:26
cyberangerit could easily02:26
pace_t_zulufunny ... i googled "ubuntu north carolina" and the top result is http://iambecauseweare.wordpress.com/02:27
pace_t_zuluat least we're holding down www.ubuntu-tennessee.org02:28
pace_t_zuluwtf is up with our logo at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/tennessee.team02:30
cyberangerwhich so far hasn't been an issue, but that is an approved team requirement (we're not using it to throw mud at ubuntu, so we should be ok, but not ideal)02:30
cyberangerlooks like a logo to me, what seems wrong02:30
pace_t_zulubottom right corner02:30
pace_t_zuluorange pixels02:31
pace_t_zulucyberanger: please reject this out of hand if you hate it - i mean no disrespect02:31
pace_t_zulubut...02:31
pace_t_zuluperhaps 'cyberanger' isn't the friendliest sounding team admin02:32
pace_t_zuluat http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/tennessee.team02:32
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i have nothing wrong with your handle...02:32
cyberangeryeah, lacks personality to some02:32
cyberangerdoubt that solves all our issues, but anything to do at this point02:33
pace_t_zulubut for the unintiated, those who don't know you02:34
pace_t_zulucyberanger: no, i'm not suggesting that would solve anything02:34
pace_t_zulucyberanger: do you not like showing your real name online?02:35
cyberangerwell, actually, you are, I mean, it's along the lines of what I've been wondering lately, how much are we reaching out, vs being an exclusive club, we welcome everyone, try to show that, but we're a tight group, I arrived when there wasn't anything feeling even close to that02:36
pace_t_zulusorry to bring that up ... i just notice that when i was comparing us to NC02:36
cyberangerIt's a nonissue, I did before, I may have not been able to change infocop411 to cyberanger then (I can now and just did) and instead removed my name for cyberanger02:38
pace_t_zului'm not suggesting you change your handle... but perhaps you could use your real name at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/tennessee.team02:39
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: I understand02:39
pace_t_zulubut i understand if that isn't something you want to do02:39
pace_t_zulubut one thing we can definitely do is take control of that ical feed02:40
cyberangerthat's linked to launchpad, which is what I was getting at above, changed my handle to one that's been a pain02:40
pace_t_zuluthat might help attendance... the only reason i make it to meetings is because it is in my calendar02:40
cyberangerand apperently couldn't change it right02:40
pace_t_zuluwhy does it show my real name?02:40
pace_t_zului'm jhaitas on launchpad02:41
cyberangerhttps://launchpad.net/~jhaitas02:41
cyberangerlook again, your ID is, your full name isn't02:41
cyberangermy case my ID was infocop411 till now (right now) and my name was changed from Zach Gibbens to cyberanger02:42
pace_t_zuluyour full name Zach Gibbons at https://launchpad.net/~cyberanger02:42
pace_t_zulu...02:42
cyberangerI suspect due to lp settings at the time02:42
pace_t_zuluso...02:42
cyberangeryes, I just did that02:42
cyberanger5 seconds ago02:42
cyberangerAug. 2009 I couldn't change my ID02:43
cyberangeror overlooked it02:43
pace_t_zulucyberanger: at the very least the loco council can give us control over http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/tennessee.team02:43
pace_t_zulucyberanger: who currently controls that?02:43
cyberangerwe do02:43
cyberangeror, the Trustee at least02:44
pace_t_zuluyou do then?02:44
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: you should be set too02:45
cyberangeryour listed as a team admin02:45
cyberangerbut it's not a wiki02:45
cyberangerit's linked to lp02:45
pace_t_zulucyberanger: where's the control panel in lp02:45
pace_t_zulu?02:45
cyberangermost of that acl stuff is for settings02:46
cyberangertop bar of that page, log in02:46
pace_t_zuluyou know... i totally missed the login button02:46
pace_t_zuluit looks like everything else02:46
cyberangeruses LP credentials, then sorta half user half admin page02:46
cyberangerum, well...02:46
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i notice we have more admins than contacts02:47
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: what exactly would you like me to metion to the NC contact, members I know from prior occasions and such?02:47
cyberangerwe can only have one contact, and that's the trustee02:47
pace_t_zulucyberanger: just find out what steps they took to become official02:47
pace_t_zuluoh02:48
pace_t_zuluok...02:48
cyberangerand how much the requirements have changed (which might shift things)02:48
pace_t_zului am going to add our meetings through 2011 to the ical link there02:49
cyberangeryeah, I'm the Councils contact, one thing I heard was the Global Jam, and the notice was too late02:49
pace_t_zuluwe need to be filling this out http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/team/tennessee.team/add/02:50
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: would you be willing to try for a meetup/release party on the 29th/30th or first02:50
cyberangerthat's new02:50
cyberangerwas just events02:50
pace_t_zulucyberanger: if i can get 2 other people to commit - then i would02:50
pace_t_zuluwrst and xpistos are not able to commit02:51
cyberangerI'm one, already have a rental then02:51
cyberangerwrst I expected, xpistos can't? well, perhaps I can get my nlug contact intrested at least02:51
pace_t_zulucyberanger he's been a no show in the past02:52
cyberangerthe one time we gave notice (last one wasn't much of notice) two leaders came out, it wasn't as much notice as now even02:52
* wrst peeks in from dirty diaper land02:52
pace_t_zului don't have a problem with it - but i'd rather not schedule an event that i'm the only regular at02:53
pace_t_zulusup wrst02:53
wrstpace_t_zulu: poop02:53
pace_t_zuluwrst: i don't envy you02:54
wrstha ha its all good02:54
pace_t_zuluwrst: you get a look at the scrollback?02:54
cyberangerwell, granted, you and Xpistos did commit, ericG and I arrived (I can't recall if wrst did or not) and ericG and I showed, two from nlug did, to my suprise (karmic release party, not saying this to stir trouble, just point out that things come up)02:54
pace_t_zulusorry about the karmic release party... honestly i can't recall the details02:55
cyberangerwell, can we pencil in the 30th, 7pm02:55
wrstpace_t_zulu: haven't yet I'm on my phone02:55
pace_t_zului must have flaked on that02:55
pace_t_zulupencil? sure02:56
cyberangeridk on location, we did mellow mushroom once, I know J&J's Market & Cafe for 2600 meetings02:56
pace_t_zuluyea, i know the owner of J&J's - he's a really nice guy02:57
cyberangerI know how to get to bridgestone arena, so anywhere nearby those places is memory02:57
pace_t_zuluthey have coffee wifi and beer02:57
pace_t_zuluyeah, mellow mushroom and J&J's is straight down Broadway and take the 21st Ave split02:58
pace_t_zulus/is/are02:58
cyberangerthose three places I've been to, along with everything in a mile or so (state capitol buldg. and the bars on brodway near bridgestone for example)02:59
pace_t_zuluwe did mellow mushroom last time02:59
pace_t_zuluwe've done j&j's before02:59
cyberangerif there isn't any major event in town (football game made that whole area a headache, and bad timing for locals) can we do that, pencil in J&J's on the 30th 7:00 pm, or 7:3002:59
pace_t_zuluno football this time of year03:00
pace_t_zulunor would there be on a saturday night03:00
cyberangerum, I think karmic was, it wasn't pro, HS or College perhaps, all I see on a very quick search, is a Marathon03:02
cyberangerso sounds good, I can't promise anybody showing, just their commitments, and we do have them fail before, nature of priorties03:04
pace_t_zulucyberanger: here's my proposal ... compile a list of things we'd liked changed before 11.1003:04
cyberangerin Ubuntu, or the Loco03:04
cyberanger(I presume the Loco)03:05
cyberangerchibihogoshino: would you like to goto nashville or have a knoxville meet-up/release party03:06
chibihogoshinoi cant really o far03:06
pace_t_zuluubuntu03:06
pace_t_zulube critical03:07
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: a list for our loco, before the end of Sept. 2011 (should be an Oct. Release) would be equally good03:07
cyberangeroh, that's unfortunately easy, but I'll hold my stones till natty is final03:07
pace_t_zulucyberanger: that right there is why you are our fearless leader ;)03:07
chibihogoshinoi dont have a working car right now03:07
cyberangerchibihogoshino: it's on my way03:07
cyberangerwell, it's reasonably out of my03:08
chibihogoshinoif i can get a ride then it dosnt really matter03:08
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: so we're going with the 7:30 CDT @ J&J's03:12
cyberangerchibihogoshino: so 5:30 EDT for a ride there03:12
chibihogoshino6:30 pm ?03:13
cyberangerthat does get us 3 people, but I'll aim for more locals for you pace_t_zulu03:13
cyberangerchibihogoshino: depends on exactly where you are in knoxville how much time I can shave off, it can be pushed to 6:30 EDT but it's supposed to be nearly a 2h45m drive (I've done it quicker than that however) which is 8:15 CDT03:16
chibihogoshino5:30 is ok03:16
cyberangerare you in knoxville downtown, or was that xTEMPLARx03:16
chibihogoshinoabout 10 min from downtown03:17
cyberangerone of you was Lenoir City, shaves off a good 30 or 4003:17
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: yeah, I for some reason understand walking into a minefield03:20
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: and for ubuntu don't seem to mind03:20
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: is this enough commitment to move forward, me and chibihogoshino03:21
cyberangerand you, of course03:21

cyberangerso I move to adjourn if nothing else03:24
cyberanger(I actually forgot that the meeting was still running)03:24
pace_t_zulusorry guys03:24

cyberangerpace_t_zulu: happens, sounds like we have three, chibihogoshino, you and myself03:25
cyberangerand I'll push for more commitments03:25
cyberangerI can ensure that day and minus some small travel hiccup, traffic and such, time too03:26
pace_t_zulucyberanger: the only thing i have on my calendar for that weekend is arsenal v. man united sunday morning03:26
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i would not count on anyone else being there03:26
cyberangerand that's a match to catch03:27
cyberangeraside from us three03:27
cyberangerthat's all I can be realistic on, until anyone is there, it's all words, no actions03:27
cyberangerit's not like I wasn't doing it anyhow though03:28
cyberangerso I can insure myself, and sounds like chibihogoshino too, I'll take a route via knoxville (as expected) and we'll head up, planning for a little shy of 7:3003:29
pace_t_zuluisn't knoxville rather out of your way?03:30
pace_t_zululisten, i have to get going03:31
cyberangerI'll already be at the point where it's nearly a coin toss, and heading north or south has to happen before west03:31
cyberangerso this case no03:31
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: sounds good, we've got time03:31
cyberangermain issue was this, our loco team03:31
chibihogoshinoah.. that took to long03:32
cyberangerlong enough03:32
cyberanger;-)03:32
chibihogoshinopidgin wouldnt connect03:32
pace_t_zulumay i excuse myself?03:35

pace_t_zuluhaha19:19
pace_t_zuluXpistos: i leave after the outside bit as well19:19
wrstouch pace_t_zulu everyone ok?19:20
pace_t_zuluwrst: no one got hurt... someone will be making an insurance claim on their rear windshield19:21
wrstouch19:21
wrstthat's not good either19:21
wrstpace_t_zulu: you know anything about gatorhost web hosting?19:21
wrstpace_t_zulu: correction hostgator :)19:22
pace_t_zuluwrst: i reckon they were lucky - doesn't look like there's any damage to the body... window is quite superficial19:22
wrstyes very true pace_t_zulu windows easily replaced too19:22
pace_t_zuluwrst: i work with godaddy right now... but i'm very open to jumping ship...19:22
pace_t_zuluwrst: i just don't really know what's out there19:22
wrsti kinda like what i see, they enable ssh with shell access granted its very jailed but still handy i can remove or coopy things with my phone easily using a shell19:23
pace_t_zuluwrst: i'm thinking about moving into the cloud... i just need to understand it better19:24
wrstjust ask microsoft pace_t_zulu :)19:26
wrstpace_t_zulu: with an internet connection like you have i don't blame you19:26
pace_t_zuluwrst: i am thinking amazon's ec2 infrastructure19:38
pace_t_zuluwrst: you know anything about cloud computing?19:38
wrstpace_t_zulu: that looks pretty interesting pace_t_zulu and pretty reasonable19:38
pace_t_zulucyberanger: ping19:38
pace_t_zuluwrst: i'm connected through an ec2 deployment19:39
wrstpace_t_zulu: i don't really know anything but i had considered doing something like that for my webhosting or a linode but i really just don't have the need for something that large19:39
pace_t_zuluwrst: running irssi through screen19:39
pace_t_zuluwrst: you can do the micro plan19:39
wrstpace_t_zulu: that's cool, oh you might want to check out quassel, i'm sure you could install/compile it and have a little nicer gui19:40
wrstand the client looks really nice on my wife's mac19:40
wrstor have a gui :)19:40
pace_t_zuluwrst: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ ...Micro Instance 613 MB of memory, up to 2 ECUs (for short periodic bursts), EBS storage only, 32-bit or 64-bit platform19:40
pace_t_zuluwrst: really?19:40
wrstpace_t_zulu: yes the "core" runs on your server and the client on whatever machine you want, www.quassel-irc.org19:40
pace_t_zuluwrst: i never resolved the issue with setting up the persistent connection19:41
pace_t_zuluwrst: i may need help with the core setup, if you're willing19:41
wrstpace_t_zulu: http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/tutorials/67/19:41
wrstpace_t_zulu: be more than happy to, what distro are you running ?19:41
pace_t_zuluwrst: on the server?19:42
wrstyes19:42
pace_t_zuluwrst check your pm19:44
wrstjsut did pace_t_zulu :D19:45
pace_t_zuluwrst: this micro tier server is really fast19:48
wrstthat is cool pace_t_zulu, and if you want to give quassel a shot let me know if you need help there is a thing or two ubuntu specific on setting up users that is a slight pain19:49
pace_t_zuluwrst: when i do 'quasselcore --add-user' ... am i supplying my login information for the machine quasselcore is running on... or my login information for connecting to irc servers?19:51
wrstyour username you want in order to log in to irc19:52
pace_t_zuluwrst "Core is currently not configured! Please connect with a Quassel Client for basic setup."19:54
pace_t_zuludo i have to connect with a client before i can --add-user?19:55
pace_t_zulubecause i get an "Unable to add user: " message19:55
pace_t_zuluwrst: http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org/tutorials/67/ comes up 2nd when googling "setup quassel core ubuntu 10.04"19:57
wrstpace_t_zulu: let me think here, and find the link in the quassel docs19:58
wrsti think you might be able to just connect with the client actually and set the user up19:58
wrstahh here pace_t_zulu http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/1/wiki/Manage_core_users19:58
wrstubuntu/debian installs things slightly different than most19:59
pace_t_zuluthanks wrst... might want to update that blog post then19:59
wrsthmm good point pace_t_zulu :)19:59
* wrst makes a note19:59
pace_t_zulusince you are an authority on setting up quassel on ubuntu ;)19:59
wrstha no just so happened i chatted with someone from south africa and he told me how to20:00
pace_t_zulufriendly south africans :)20:01
pace_t_zuluwrst: i sent you a pastebin link in pm20:02
wrstahh ok pace_t_zulu try connecting with your client to configure20:03
wrsti think that is just needed now if you are adding a second user20:04
pace_t_zuluwrst: with what password?20:04
pace_t_zuluand username20:04
wrstit should have a first time use thing come up to set that up20:05
wrstlet me know if that doesn't i will have to rattle check it out i can set up another core on another machien and check things out20:07
wrstpace_t_zulu: i'm not for sure what happpened on your end :\20:13
pace_t_zuluwrst: there is some step missing20:14
wrstwell i just put the core on another machien at home and added a user with that same command with no problem20:14
wrston a fresh install of quassel but that's on natty20:14
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: pong20:16
pace_t_zuluwrst: did you get this message at all on the add-user cmd? Core is currently not configured! Please connect with a Quassel Client for basic setup.20:16
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i see when i do a /whois on your handle it does not list a hostname... how'd you configure that?20:17
wrstyes i did pace_t_zulu but it allowed me to add the user20:18
cyberangerI don't recall doing that, lemme see20:18
pace_t_zuluwrst: perhaps its because i'm on an ec2 deployment20:19
wrsthmm i really wouldn't think so pace_t_zulu because ubnuntu really doesn't know that does it?20:19
pace_t_zuluwrst: i don't think it does20:21
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: from what I see, same as you, we have cloaks20:21
cyberangeryour's is unaffiliated, mines a project cloak20:22
wrstme either... hmm20:22
cyberangerwrst: are you setting up Quassel?20:23
wrstno trying to help pace_t_zulu20:24
wrstwith no luck20:24
cyberangerwith Quassel20:24
cyberanger?20:25
pace_t_zuluwrst: should a create a quasselcore user with a quassel group as per http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/1/wiki/Build_Core_On_Ubuntu20:25
pace_t_zulucyberanger: yea... any suggestions?20:25
cyberangerI'm more in the GNU Screen & Irssi or Weechat camp20:25
pace_t_zulucyberanger: the cloaks are different from the host name...20:25
pace_t_zulucyberanger: when you do a whois on me ... do you see my hostname?20:25
wrstpace_t_zulu: i have never had to do that, that's if you build from source20:26
cyberangerso it'd be hard to suggest20:26
pace_t_zulucyberanger: i'm using irssi20:26
cyberangerin screen?20:26
pace_t_zuluwrst: i realize that... so you just run quasselcore from your user account?20:26
wrstyes actually it starts up automagically on ubuntu you should never have to do anything20:26
pace_t_zuluwrst: roger20:27
wrstpace_t_zulu: got the quassel expert i know looking at it20:28
wrstpace_t_zulu: ok here's the infoe that command is just for adding subsequent users20:29
wrstyou should be able to do the initial setup just be connecting to the core20:29
wrstpace_t_zulu: meet superfly, he's from south africa ;)20:30
wrstbut a pretty smart dude20:30
wrstactually much smarter than me20:30
wrstwhich doesn't take much ;)20:30
pace_t_zuluhey superfly20:30
superflysmarter than you wrst? no ways!20:30
superflyhi pace_t_zulu20:30
pace_t_zulusuperfly: i was born in south africa20:30
wrstwell superfly that's not really a compliment :)20:30
superflypace_t_zulu: which part?20:31
pace_t_zulusuperfly: jo'burg20:31
pace_t_zulusuperfly: you?20:31
superflyI live in Cape Town20:31
pace_t_zulusuperfly: i've got family in cape town as well20:31
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: http://109.74.196.32/whois.html20:32
pace_t_zulucyberanger: thanks... so i can see my hostname just because its me20:34
pace_t_zulusuperfly: so are you a quasselcore expert?20:35
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: that's what I see from cyberanger-bot (I did that since permissions on freenode is what I suspect your seeing)20:35
superflypace_t_zulu: I use it... can't say I'm an expert though20:35
pace_t_zulusuperfly: you're more advanced than me then20:35
pace_t_zului'm having trouble setting it up20:36
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: sounds right, as long as some flags are set, and their enabled by default20:36
pace_t_zului'll send you a pastbin of the core.log20:36
pace_t_zulusuperfly: i sent you a pm20:36
superflywrst pasted me your error, but as far as I can see, you need to connect using the client (and be aware, on Ubuntu there are a few Quassel packages - you need the quassel-client or quassel-client-qt4 package)20:36
wrstsuperfly: only issue i see is that the client you must enter a username? or does it take the user name there and make it?20:37
pace_t_zulusuperfly: the machine i'm running it on is CLI20:37
superflypace_t_zulu: yes, and the machine I'm running my core on is also a CLI20:37
superflyyou need to connect to it using the client20:37
wrstsuperfly: he is trying to set it up client core setup, but its been so long i have forgotten how :\20:38
superflyso, on your desktop, fire up the client, and connect to the server20:38
pace_t_zulusuperfly: it wants a username and password20:38
superflypace_t_zulu: yes, I think it creates the account with these details20:39
pace_t_zulu...20:39
superflypace_t_zulu: http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki#Connecting-to-the-core20:40

pace_t_zuluoops20:41
pace_t_zuluperhaps its the mac os x client thats the problem20:42
wrsthmm pace_t_zulu i'm trying to set one up here but no luck, i'm moving to a different machine20:43
pace_t_zuluwrst: so you are having problems with it as well now/20:43
cyberangerI don't recall this much work on an IRC proxy20:43
superflyneither do I, and I use Quassel20:44
wrstpace_t_zulu: i was having to change ports to get it running on another computer at home let me try it here at work20:45
cyberangerwrst: in the past I've joked on Quassel vs a CLI client and GNU Screen, but with all this, I'm starting to wonder if it were a joke (I just favor CLI over GUI, having not yet tried Quassel, this makes me wonder a good bit)20:46
wrstcyberanger: :P20:47
wrstpace_t_zulu: actually its less trouble to build from source i think :\20:47
pace_t_zuluquassel seems to be a happy medium with persistent connectivity and a gui20:47
wrstit is pace_t_zulu20:47
cyberangerwrst: sorry, but I am wondering now, is the setup worth any value20:47
pace_t_zuluwrst: that's a sorry state of affairs20:48
superflycyberanger: I've never had these issues, and I started using Quassel back in the 0.4 days20:48
wrstpace_t_zulu: i've never had this much trouble actually20:48
superfly(it's now 0.7)20:48
pace_t_zulusuperfly: you use a prepackaged version or build from source?20:49
superflypace_t_zulu: I use the prepackaged versions from Ubuntu20:50
pace_t_zulusuperfly: which release of ubuntu?20:50
superflyon the server, 10.04, on my desktop, 10.10 currently20:50
cyberangersuperfly: assuming release date, that'd be Feb 18, 200920:50
wesleyok guys got it20:50
cyberangerwhat did you use before then20:50
pace_t_zulufrom my mac os x client i get this error message20:50
pace_t_zulucoreSocketError QSslSocket(0x2b90ec50) "Connection timed out"20:50
wesleypace_t_zulu: i would suggest you apt-get purge your core install and start over again20:51
wesleyi believe since you tried to add a user at my bad advice that is the trouble possibly20:51
superflypace_t_zulu: so your client can't connect to your core20:51
pace_t_zulusuperfly: yea20:51
cyberangerI wonder if any of this might also be due to ec220:51
pace_t_zulusuperfly: and i've tried add-user on the core... and it says it cant20:51
cyberangerany limitations perhaps20:51
pace_t_zulucyberanger: that's what i was thinking... but i haven't noticed any other issues with ec220:52
superflycyberanger: erm, a few things... Colloquy, Chatzilla, IRSSI20:52
superflypace_t_zulu: are you running your server on ec2?20:52
pace_t_zuluthere is the fact that quassel-core installs to /var/cache ... perhaps the behavior of that directory is different with ec220:52
pace_t_zulusuperfly: yea20:52
pace_t_zulusuperfly: trying to20:52
wesleypace_t_zulu: dumb question but you do have the port opened for you to access it?20:53
superflydunno more than that20:53
pace_t_zuluwesley: yea... nmap of localhost shows the port is open20:53
cyberangernever used Colloquy (but if I recall right, that's a mac client, which explains why)20:53
wesleypace_t_zulu: i thought you were much to wise for that but a place to start20:53
superflycyberanger: yeah, it was when I was using a Mac at my previous job20:53
superflyoh, and Konversation20:53
pace_t_zuluwrst: i did a purge after that20:54
pace_t_zuluthe mac os x quassel-client doesn't show an SSL option... that may be it20:54
wrsthmm well pace_t_zulu here all i had to do was install, connect with the remote client and i was flying20:55
superflywell, it generally detects SSL on the fly, I think...20:55
pace_t_zuluwrst: i'll try another purge and install20:55
wrstyes superfly it did on my end20:56
cyberangerdoes the client have the SSL bit setup20:56
superflyI don't have an SSL option, but I know I'm connecting via SSL because I have a little green icon and I set up my core that way20:56
cyberangerthat might be part of the issue too, if ssl is broken out of the box20:56
superflycyberanger: yeah, it might be broken SSL on the Mac20:57
cyberangerand the core for that matter (which I'd expect, generate your own cert or import)20:57
pace_t_zuluhere is the error i get when i install the core20:57
pace_t_zuluhttp://pastebin.com/FSacy6F520:57
pace_t_zului just do a 'sudo dpkg --configure quassel-core'20:57
wrstpace_t_zulu: /etc/init.d/quasselcore start20:58
cyberangerI can't believe Quassel still lacks DCC Chat and File Transfers20:58
wrstsudo ^^20:58
wrstpace_t_zulu: that happened to me i had to manually start the first go around20:58
superflycyberanger: it's still fairly young20:59
superfly(compared to most IRC clients out there)20:59
cyberangerit is, idk when the first version came out20:59
wrstcyberanger: atleast it has well you know the ability to use a mouse on it :P21:00
pace_t_zuluwrst, did you dpkg --configure?21:00
wrstno pace_t_zulu just started it21:00
cyberangerbut one of nearly equal age (I think, trying to double check) is weechat, which has it21:00
pace_t_zuluk21:00
wrstthen logged in with the client21:00
superflybut I can't say I really use either of those features much, so I'm not missing out myself21:00
wrstcyberanger: all i use it for is for here and to aggervate superfly as he develops openlp21:00
pace_t_zuluwrst: did you supply a username and password to the client?21:00
wrstyes a username21:01
wrstthen it will bring the wizard up21:01
pace_t_zuluwrst: client gives me this "coreSocketError QSslSocket(0x2cfa010) "Connection timed out" "21:02
pace_t_zuluwrst: this time i'm using the client from natty21:02
cyberangerwrst: my place has a no pet policy, and it includes mice (and at my folks, one of the cats used to be a mouser, swats at my dad's hand for using it, no joke on that, keyboard is safer)21:02
wrstwell pace_t_zulu... hmm that's a new one :\21:02
pace_t_zuluand the port is definitely open21:02
superflypace_t_zulu: so evidently you have a connection problem. Reinstalling the core is not going to help21:04
superflypace_t_zulu: so try to figure out where the connection problem is occurring, whether it is on your server or on your desktop21:05
pace_t_zulusuperfly: i wish the core and or client would be more verbose21:05
superflypace_t_zulu: do you have something else like apache running?21:05
pace_t_zulusuperfly: no21:05
pace_t_zulusuperfly: i do have openvpn available on the server.... for securing wifi when i'm on an uprotected network21:06
superflypace_t_zulu: what more does it need to tell you? the connection timed out - it could not connect to the core within the maximum specified time21:06
cyberangersuperfly: weechat was older than I realized, 2003, most of the features came later on, quassel is 2008 (version 0.1.97.5 in Jul. 2008, not seeing anything further back)21:06
pace_t_zulusuperfly: it would be nice if the core would give indication that an attempt was made to connect21:06
superflypace_t_zulu: if you can't even contact the core, how is the core supposed to know it's being contacted?21:07
pace_t_zulusuperfly: no problems sshing in to the server21:07
superflyssh is a well known protocol21:07
pace_t_zului have the domain and port correct...21:07
superflyQuassel's protocol is not21:07
cyberangerthat right there explains why I hadn't heard of it sooner, when I really needed it the most (college firewalls)21:07
superflypace_t_zulu: just because the server and port are correct doesn't mean that you can actually make a connection21:08
pace_t_zului suppose i could try the IP rather than the domain name21:08
wrstsuperfly: is it possible that is something to do with the certificate from the former install being left behind? i gogoled that error and saw something to do with ssl21:08
superflywrst: no, the problem is that the client cannot connect21:08
wrstok...21:08
superflyso he needs to start on the client's side and work his way to the core to see where the connectivity problem is occuring21:08
* wrst realizes he is two problems behind21:08
pace_t_zulusuperfly: how would you proceed from the client side in this scenario?21:10
superflypace_t_zulu: to be honest, I would start by googling about connecting to an ec2 instance on a non-standard port21:10
superflyI think the problem is that ec2, external to your server, is not opening that port21:11
pace_t_zulusuperfly: good suggestion21:11
pace_t_zului guess i shouldn't just assume that because ssh works that other ports should21:11
cyberangeresp. when ec2 requires ssh to work :-/21:12
cyberangerand expects 80,443 and some others to be common21:12
pace_t_zulusuperfly: that did it... genius21:13
pace_t_zulusuperfly: good to have you around ;)21:13
pace_t_zulusuperfly: which channels do you usually hang out in?21:13

pace_t_zulusuperfly: you're always welcome in #ubuntu-us-tn :)21:15
superflypace_t_zulu: also, testing to see if a port on localhost is open is like trying to unlock a door that has no lock21:15
wrstpace_t_zulu: he can only handle one channel with me :)21:15
superflywrst: lies, I'm in 2 channels with you already21:15
wrstoh yeah forgot superfly, this is 3 :)21:15
superflythere we go21:16
pace_t_zulu_hello from quassel!21:16
wrstawesome pace_t_zulu you will love it21:16
pace_t_zulu_wrst: time will tell21:17
superflydepends on what you're used to... I don't think cyberanger will like Quassel21:17
cyberangerHard to say21:18
pace_t_zulu_superfly: i usually use colloquy21:18
pace_t_zulu_nicer gui than this21:18
cyberangerI'm used to something that predates quassel21:18
superflycyberanger: what do you use?21:18
pace_t_zulu_i wonder if colloquy could support quassel-core21:18
pace_t_zulu_he uses irssi21:18
cyberangerfor some of the same reasons I'd use quassel21:18
wrstpace_t_zulu: but quassel is prettier than irssi21:18
cyberangeractually, currently I've been using weechat21:19
pace_t_zuluthis nick is connected with irssi21:19
superflyah, yes, once you're used to IRSSI, it's hard to beat21:19
pace_t_zulu_wrst: actually irssi is prettier than quassel right now21:19
superflysame with weechat21:19
cyberangersome better things as far as FIFO support and such21:19
pace_t_zulu_and one annoying thing... when i tab complete a nickname - the input field looses focus21:19
cyberangerwell, the hardest part is DCC support, something I've used since, whenever I got involved in IRC really21:20
superflypace_t_zulu: in IRSSI or Quassel?21:20
cyberangerotherwise I'd be able to really use it, and not just try it21:20
* superfly doesn't experience that21:20
pace_t_zulu_superfly: quassel (with the tab completion issue)21:20
pace_t_zulu_superfly: client is running on mac os x21:21
superflymaybe it's an OS X thing...21:21
pace_t_zulu_probably a QT OS X thing21:21
wrstpace_t_zulu: that must be a mac thing i haven't had that issue21:21
wrsteven on os X 10.5 pace_t_zulu21:21
pace_t_zulu_i'm on 10.621:21
superflyI don't remember having it on OS X when I started using Quassel21:21
wrstahh pace_t_zulu21:21
superflybut then I was also using OS X 10.421:21
pace_t_zulu_i bet a better client could be coded up for os x21:21
pace_t_zulu_maybe if i really like quassel i'd go that far21:22
* superfly is happy with quassel... works on his PC, works on his phone21:22
pace_t_zulu_is there a client for iPhone? do you know?21:22
superflywrst: apparently Qt 4.8 is coming out with support for Android21:23
superflypace_t_zulu_: dunno, I have a Nokia N90021:23
wrstcool21:23
cyberangerthe N900 had the earliest support21:23
pace_t_zulu_no surprise on a nokia... with the qt support21:23
wrstpace_t_zulu_: I'm on my phone now21:23
cyberangerunfortunately iphone I doubt21:24
pace_t_zulu_i think it'd be best to do the interface in cocoa on mac os x21:24
cyberangerat least considering how long Android waited21:24
pace_t_zulu_i understand it was easier for the devs to port the qt version21:24
pace_t_zulu_but theres nothing that quassel-client should be dependent on QT for21:24
pace_t_zulu_brb... haven't had a bite to eat yet today21:25
* cyberanger hands pace_t_zulu_ a byte of GRUB, hopes he can eat something better in a bit21:30
cyberangerI know that joke stunk, but I didn't think it was toxic enough to kill the channel21:45
pace_t_zulu_back22:17
* superfly retreats to lala-land22:28

pace_t_zulu_red hat is really going after oracle...22:31
pace_t_zulu_here's the bug for that tab completion issue for quassel client on OS X http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/issues/104322:32
