akgranerpleia2, thank you!00:39
pleia2akgraner: facebook confuses me so, I can see your comments but apparently I don't have permission to see the thread so I don't have context00:41
pleia2I *assume* it's about the SDForum talk?00:41
akgraneryou should now  - I delete the first comment00:41
akgranerdeleted even00:41
akgraneryep that talk, you words were too kind - thank you!00:42
pleia2no luck, I think it's because it's on a page of someone who doesn't share their stuff00:42
pleia2all true! you're welcome :)00:42
pleia2it actually ended up on the google open source blog, I was pretty excited00:42
akgranerI'll share it on my page then...one sec :-)00:42
pleia2facebook's privacy controls are so wonky "people are talking about you, but you can't see what they're saying!"00:44
pleia2anyway, that was a really fun panel, I was happy to be a part of it :)00:45
akgranerwas that the one Francine emailed me about?00:45
akgranerpleia2, you look like you are in your element and you were having fun..:-)00:46
pleia2I don't know, Sonja is the one who snagged me (I didn't talk with Francine)00:46
pleia2it was much easier than an solo talk00:47
mhall119akgraner: was gonna ask for your email, then I realized I had been copied on stuff from you recently00:52
akgraner:-)  yep I got your email..I'm catching up with everything now...00:52
akgranerTried not to be on the computer too much this weekend...00:52
mhall119okay, no rush, I'm still hacking on it00:52
akgranergreat!00:58
akgranerthanks!00:58
akgranerjcastro  john said he would do a "How to use AppArmor Session" and I'm going to see if the Vancover folks who wrote the qwibber manual will give a "Getting Started with Gwibber" sessions as well...01:01
akgranerand if those and Rikki get added to the schedule tomorrow (I'm not bother folks this evening) - then we'll only need 8 more people :-)  Should be able to get that added tomorrow...01:02
akgranerdang apparently I'm not typing well either this even - bah01:10
cjohnstondo be do be do01:17
akgranercrap see evening....dang it  - it's a good thing I'm working on screen shots and blog posts...DOH!01:18
duanedesignakgraner: added myself to the OpenWeek Schedule. Sorry it took so long.01:33
akgranerduanedesign, no worries...Thank you so much!01:42
duanedesigndoctormo: was checking out this comic for the new Portal game. Some pretty neat artwor http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/01:50
mhall119akgraner: nigelb: nhandler: The action drop-downs at the top of the page in Read Feeder work now02:06
mhall119akgraner: I'm really thinking we need an Ubuntu Web Developer Week02:06
mhall119maybe something we can discus at UDS02:07
mhall119especially if nigelb gets his visa sorted out02:07
duanedesignpoor nigel and his visa :\02:12
duanedesignthey should know, its been six months we should get nigels visa ready :)02:12
duanedesignjcastro: if you have a second could you peer review my edit of answer 1. http://askubuntu.com/questions/36840/how-to-see-all-available-man-manuals/3684402:14
akgranermhall119, another Ubuntu Week - wow at this rate we'll have Ubuntu Week every month of each cycle :-)02:49
mhall119akgraner: hmmm, true02:55
mhall119maybe we should start with just Web Developer Day then02:55
nigelbheh03:05
mhall119okay, maybe I'm partial, but I'm kind of liking using Read Feeder as a general purpose feed reader03:14
mhall119I need more science and politics blogs though03:14
nigelbhe03:15
nigelbI should do that03:16
mhall119I'm gonna have to add some optimizations and caching to this03:19
mhall119I'm not seeing any/w 4003:27

nigelbduanedesign: It was a brilliant scene.10:58
nigelbIt went like this "read the ubuntu swap page" "You mean the swap FAQ?" "Yeah, that one" "erm, I helped rewrite most of it a long while back" "Dude!?!?!?!"10:59
duanedesign:)11:24
popey!swap12:10
ubot2swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info12:10
popeyhmm, that page needs a bit about swap on flash/sd/usb sticks12:12
nigelbpopey: like adding a whole flash drive as swap?12:17
akgranerGood Morning!  :-)12:25
akgranerOk how sad is it I am now dreaming about Unity and Ubuntu....wow!12:25
akgranerI don't dream in Technicolor I dream in Aubergine and Orange!12:26
nigelbhaha12:28
akgranernigelb, nah it's more like muahahaha....12:30
nigelbheh12:32
popeynigelb: no, i meant about the misconceptions that you shouldn't put swap on flash (or ssd)12:40
popeyits a very common FAQ12:41
nigelbI can add it, or do you want to?12:41
popeyfeel free :)12:54
popeyunfortunately most people have it stuck in their heads that you absolutely must not put swap on flash, which is wrong12:55
akgranerjussi what about and IRC session?  Basic commands etc?12:59
nigelbBasic commands? No. Etiquette? YES!13:00
akgranerhehe :-)13:01
nhandlerHaven't we done one the last few times (or am I thinking of something else)?13:01
akgranerManners we don't need no stinking manners...13:01
akgranernhandler, we have - but it seems like the need never goes out of style13:01
nigelbnhandler: espcially, the need to fill session :-)13:02
nigelb*sessions13:02
nhandlernigelb: I can agree with that13:02
nhandlerAs for the need for this particular session, I'd rather see us do a better job of referring people to the logs rather than trying to redo sessions each time (especially when the general content has not changed), but I'm fine including it to fill space13:03
nigelbWe turn to these sessions when we're out of ideas. We appreciate new ideas :D13:04

doctormoDoes anyone have the latest unity functionality spider graph?13:19
duanedesignhey doctormo did you get my message froom late last night?13:20
jcastroakgraner: the indiana loco is spoiled14:40
jcastroakgraner: they meet in this private school, it was pretty awesome14:40
Pendulumjcastro: how is that spoiled?14:40
popeymost locos dont have a nice venue14:40
Pendulumdoes the private school actually use Ubuntu?14:40
jcastroyeah14:41
Pendulumokay, that impresses me14:41
jcastrothey use it all over, it's nice14:41
jcastrobut they had a really nice place14:41
Pendulum(I could hold LoCo meetings if I ran a LoCo in a private school, but the school uses MacOS)14:41
jcastroI have never seen the inside of a private school before14:41
jcastrooh, I don't know if they use it on the desktop or not14:41
jcastromaybe servers14:41
Pendulumheh14:41
jcastrothe classroom PCs were off14:42
PendulumI think the private school I went to (which is where I could hold meetings) uses Debian servers, but the school runs Macs14:42
Pendulumalthough one of my mum's students there once wrote scheduling software for I think public transportation in Bangkok (possibly all of Thailand) as a summer job and he used Ubuntu :)14:43
jcastroDaviey: what about now, enough sessions to kick off the scheduler?14:48
jcastroJanC: what application have you found that whitelists itself?14:50

akgranerjcastro, so it was a good time to be held by all then!14:57
jcastroyeah14:58
doctormoduanedesign: No, what about?15:10
doctormoPendulum: You could still do it, just promote freedom and make em itchy ;-)15:10
Pendulumdoctormo: the tech people don't need to be convinced, but it's been a selling point for the school for almost 20 years that they require Mac laptops for students (and were the first school in the nation to do so)15:11
Pendulum*first high school15:11
doctormoPendulum: You don't have to convince them, it's more like proximity awareness.15:12
popeyjcastro: its a public holiday in the UK today, dunno if daviey is about :)15:13
jcastrooh right15:14
Pendulumjcastro: it's the week where the UK barely works :P (and from what I've heard, some places just aren't at all)15:14
jcastrothis week?15:14
jcastroor last week?15:15
popeywe had last friday, today and this friday off15:15
Pendulumjcastro: this week.15:15
Pendulumpopey: and next monday, right?15:15
popeyroyal wedding on friday, so public holiday the day after the release15:15
popeywhich is handy15:15
popeyoh, yeah15:15
jcastropopey: can you explain something to me15:19
jcastrobut don't take it in the wrong way or anything15:19
popey:)15:19
popeyGo for it.15:19
jcastrook so you guys spent 100's of years under the yoke of monarchy15:20
jcastroand then you get rid of it15:20
jcastrobut you still make a big deal about monarchs15:20
JFohaving kings and queens is fun15:20
JFo:)15:20
jcastroafaict they don't do this in other countries15:20
nigelbhello hello15:20
jcastrothey don't like pretend to behead a monarch every year or something. :)15:20
nigelbJFo: in cards, yes ;-)15:21
jcastroJFo: right, but who pays for that wedding?15:21
popeyyou seem to be collectively talking about us in the same way that we might collectively talk about people from america all being like GWB15:21
JFonigelb, :-P15:21
jcastrothat doesn't look cheap at all15:21
Pendulumjcastro: ummm have you seen the news in the US being full of the wedding?15:21
popeyOurs is one of (if not the) oldest / longest monarchy isnt it?15:21
jcastroPendulum: right15:21
popeya friend of mine is having a "Republican Party" on friday, where no talk of royals will be tolerated15:21
jcastrohahah really?15:22
JFojcastro, I believe the royal family does... they are pretty comfortable15:22
mhall119popey: lol15:22
akgranerScottL, hey - do you want to give a "Get Started With Ubuntu Studio Session" or something? for Ubuntu Open Week?15:22
popeyplease don't think we all love the royal family15:22
popeymany of us couldn't give a crap15:22
jcastropopey: I just think it looks over important15:22
popey+115:22
jcastroor maybe that's just our media conflating that15:22
popeyyour media _massively_ conflates our royal family15:22
mhall119so does ours15:22
akgranerpopey, I would love to visit them...I used to pretend I was a queen when I was a kid...15:23
jcastroit's like we have paris hilton and the kardashians but your country comes with that sort of thing built in.15:23
popeywhen we (brits) go to the USA we get questions about the royals, it's really very odd15:23
popeywe barely think about them (generally)15:23
popeymany in the UK think of them as chinless priviledged chancers who do nothing useful for the country15:23
JFoakgraner, :-|15:23
JFoused to? ;P15:23
akgraner(ok some would accuse (JFo) of pretending I am that now)15:23
akgraner:-P15:23
popeyI don't know of a single person who is excited about the royal wedding on friday15:24
popeyalso note that many years ago we used to have street parties for this kind of thing15:24
popeymostly setup by the post-war baby boomers15:24
jcastropopey: it's all people are talking about here today15:24
akgranerpopey, you don't now?15:24
popeynobody is here15:24
popeynope akgraner15:24
popeythere is been pressure from the PM to do it15:25
popeybut most people don't care15:25
Pendulumpopey: I am sad because if it wasn't for the wedding I'd probably have come over earlier this week so that I could make it to the Ubuntu UK party :(15:25
popeyalso most people don't know / care about their neighbours15:25
akgranerPete is glad he is flying home on Friday...15:25
popeymy kids have no idea who prince william is15:25
nigelbPendulum: I'm sure popey can arrange a Ubuntu-UK Pendulum welcoming party :-)15:25
popeyheh15:25
akgranerI wanted to to stay and get some pictures for me etc...he laughed15:25
akgranerhim to stay even...grrr15:26
popeythere will of course be plenty of people lining the route15:26
Pendulumnigelb: I'm not seeing any geeks. things got a bit tight for time15:26
nigelbPendulum: aww :(15:26
Pendulummy brother went to St. Andrews uni. I'm starting to think one of the reasons he's tried to stay out of the US since is because he gets extra questions about William15:27
jcastropopey: I take it you'll be lining the streets!15:28
popeyi will lining my bed15:28
popeyafter the release party15:28
akgranerpopey plans Pendulum partah15:28
jcastroours is on friday15:28
akgranerNC one is on Thursday in Chapel Hill...15:29
popeyjcastro: our royal family is a massive embarrasment15:29
jcastropopey: dude, whatever, we have Bieber fever.15:30
popeygood call :)15:30
jcastrowe have so many embarrassments I don't even know where to begin15:30
akgranerok so question - I know if you install ubuntu 11.04 and you can't run unity 3d does the system fall back to 2d or the classic desktop15:32
Pendulumakgraner: should fall back to Classic AFAIK15:32
popeyit does, yes15:33
akgranerthat's what I thought too..but my loco team now has mne second guessing myself...:-/  and I can't find the link to that information...15:33
popey(classic)15:33
akgranerahh ok15:33
akgranerthanks15:33
jcastroyou don't get 2d unless you explicitly install it15:33
popeyi am using unity2d at the moment though15:33
popeyits so much faster than unity3d15:33
akgranergotcha15:33
JFowell it is lighter by a whole 'd' ;-P15:34
jcastroheh15:34
* JFo tickles popey 15:34
popey:)15:34
jcastroI wonder if someone has tried 2d on LTSP15:34
akgranerOk so GNOME is going away for 11.11 but the classic desktop just won't be supported right...as now has now moved to GNOME shell15:38
popeyuhm15:38
popeyGNOME is not going away15:38
popeybe careful how you say things like that :)15:38
akgranerso we will still have GNOME just not like it used to be15:38
akgranerI didn't say it someone else did  - I just want to get my answer to them right15:38
popey:)15:38
popeyClassic 2-panel GNOME desktop will not be the fallback in 11.1115:38
popeyer, 11.1015:39
popeywhatever :)15:39
popeyThe plan is for Unity 2D to be the 2D fallback in 11.10 for those that can't run Unity 3D15:39
akgranerok so the correct answer is there is no upstream support for the classic desktop15:40
akgranerand therefore we (ubuntu) will not be including it from 11.10 forward?15:40
akgraneror am I still not understanding15:40
popeyI didnt say that :)15:40
PiciThe whole 'gnome is going away in 11.10' came from a bug report that sabdfl commented on, and blown way out of proportion.15:40
popeythe 'correct' answer is it makes no sense to ship our revolutionary new desktop "Unity" in 3D mode and have a completely different desktop look/feel/behaviour for 2D users15:41
popeyWhat makes _sense_ is to have a single UI whether you're using 3D or 2D capable video cards15:41
popeywhich is what you should get in 11.1015:41
jcastropopey: right, but it's also smart to not remove what people know15:42
popeyyou don't get that in 11.04 partyly because Unity 2D isn't ready yet15:42
jcastronot right away anyway15:42
popeyyes15:42
popeythat too15:42
jcastrothis kind of works out because we keep classic, but not too long15:42
jcastrosince it's effectively abandoned15:42
PiciSo another game of blame upstream, not Ubuntu?15:42
jcastroI wouldn't say blame15:43
jcastroit's just a major release15:43
popeyPici: whats the alternative?15:43
jcastrono one blames FF for leaving 3 when they move to 415:43
popeykeep classic 2-panel gnome?15:43
popeyhow can we do that given GNOME have moved on to GNOME Shell15:43
Picijcastro: blame wasn't the right word, you're right.15:43
akgranerI'm sorry..I just wanted to make sure I understood how to explain this in non-technical terms to people...:-)15:43
akgranerthanks y'all15:44
jcastroakgraner: here's what I tell non tech people15:44
Picipopey: There is no alternative.15:44
jcastro"this is the new ubuntu, it has a new UI."15:44
popeyexactly Pici15:44
* Pici is reminded of the KDE3 to KDE4 switch15:44
mhall119there's always Xfce15:44
jcastrohmm, actually I think 10.04 will outlive 11.04 in support range anyway15:47
jcastroand 11.10 right?15:47
* jcastro sucks at arithmetic15:47
mhall119it's what, 2 years on the desktop or 3?15:47
jcastro315:47
mhall119and non-LTS gets 18 months?15:47
PiciIt won't be until 13.04  that 10.04 desktop ends. 11.04 only lasts until 12.1015:48
mhall119so, yeah, classic gnome will be supported for a while15:48
akgranerjcastro, I start out with that..then someone says  - all the other stuff and I hate standing their looking like a deer in the headlights...:-)15:48
mhall119probably Fedora and Suse and everyone else will be without "classic" Gnome in a supported version before Ubuntu15:49
mhall119how long does Fedora support old releases?15:49
PiciGood question15:49
jcastroit's either 2/3 releases or 18 months15:49
jcastroI remember it being close15:49
Pici'Release X is supported until one month after the release of Release X+2'15:51
Pici[B15:51
PiciFrom: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle#Maintenance_Schedule15:51
jcastrooh so one cycle less15:51
Technovikingonly 3 updates, think we are getting close15:52

macojcastro:  what is "decent"?16:24
jcastromaco: good16:24
macojcastro: i always had the impression 2h was normal for 15-17 inch16:24
jcastrofor example my X200 got like 9 hours in windiws16:24
jcastrolike 3-4 max in ubuntu16:24
maco(and was rather happy when my 15" maintained the 2h mark even as the battery degraded to 80% max since acpi was improving)16:24
mhall119jcastro: but to be fair, 4 hours on Ubuntu is more productive than 9 hours on Windows16:25
jcastrohah16:25
macoi have no idea what that battery life of any of my machines would be with windows. two have never run it. the other ran xp for 4 hours and vista beta for a day (and not even continuous, it was so annoying i dualbooted it for 24h before wiping vista)16:25

vish" <popey> Classic 2-panel GNOME desktop will not be the fallback in 11.10" , but how does that make sense? GNOME Shell is supposed to fallback to classic GNOME, However we dint like Shell so we went with Unity and we fallback to Shell and wont fallback to Classic? o.016:38
vishi realise Mark made that comment , but sounds weird :D16:38
PiciI think it was meant to say that "We fallback to unity-2d and won't fallback to classic"16:39

AlanBellpopey: will do17:59
AlanBellpopey: if it isn't reproduced what status should it go to?17:59
popeydepends, just because one person can't reproduce it doesn't mean nobody can18:00
AlanBellindeed, I just didn't see a "not reproduced" status in the list18:00
popeyall bugs are "not reproduced" until reproduced surey?18:01
popey*surely18:01
AlanBellhmm, reproduction attempt failed then18:01
popeydo you even have the same stuff on screen as I?18:02
AlanBellhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/u1services.png18:03
AlanBellno18:04
AlanBellI don't have desktopcouch-ubuntuone18:04
* AlanBell installs18:04
AlanBellif that is the secret then I will reopen it with the two screenshots18:05
popeyi suspect you will be able to reproduce it with the same set of sync apps I have18:05
popeys/apps/settings/18:05
popeyits the "enable bookmarks sync" that throws it off horizontally18:05
popeyif that was underneath contact sync it would be only vertical scroll which is less fugly18:06
* AlanBell reproduces18:06
salgadoDaviey, care to have one final look at https://code.launchpad.net/~salgado/summit/linaro/+merge/58503 and, if you're happy with the changes there, merge it for me (I don't have rights to commit to lp:summit)18:10

popeyloon18:50
AlanBellit seems my short term memory has a limit of less than the length of the release cycle18:50
AlanBelland nobody has fixed the damn bug18:50
macoAlanBell: quick, mark 2 as dups of the other! it'll get a higher heat index!18:51
AlanBellI just did18:51
AlanBelldoes this count as a senior moment?18:51
AlanBellis ubiquity or casper the right package for that?18:52
AlanBellor something else18:52
macoi dont think it's ubiquity18:53
AlanBellneither do I18:53
AlanBellusplash perhaps?18:53
macocjwatson'd know18:53
jcastrosalgado: he's not around today18:53
salgadojcastro, ok, thanks for letting me know18:55
jcastrowe'll dogpile him tomorrow18:55
jcastroAlanBell: any news on etherpad?18:56
* jcastro was missing on thursday and friday18:56
AlanBellnot that I heard18:56
AlanBellfriday and today are bank holidays in the UK18:56
AlanBellpublic holidays18:56
nigelbI was about to say "BUT canonical is not a bank!"18:57
mhall119AlanBell: I don't think usplash is around anymore, plymouth is used now18:57
AlanBellthink that is the thing that should go beep?18:58
mhall119beep when and where?18:59
AlanBellat the very start when it displays the accessibility symbol18:59
mhall119oh, I think that's before plymouth, I think that's the isolinux stuff18:59
AlanBellyou are supposed to *see* that and press space at the right moment to get to the menu where you choose the audio installer18:59
mhall119which, IIRC, is done in postscript18:59
mhall119it's one of the murkier parts of the CD install, to be honest19:00
mhall119I had to change postscript code to get a different background color on the cd boot menu for Qimo19:01
AlanBellwhat package is postscript?19:02
Picighostscript?19:14
AlanBellno, not that postscript!19:20
mhall119actually, I think it is the same(ish)19:21
JanCjcastro: see ubuntu-desktop@ for an example19:49
jcastrooh19:53
jcastrothat guy19:53
JanCjcastro: the thing is: whitelisting your app is less work than adding support for indicators...  ;)20:00
JanCand for some developers there is also the issue that appindicators make it impossible to re-implement the current features20:01
JanCfor example Tomboy is rather "broken" for me because of that (mainly because of the lack of "pinning")20:02
JanCfor other peoples, it seems like the tomboy-with-appindicator broke the support for shortcuts...20:03
jcastroright, the pinning is a known one20:11
jcastroif mono had gobject introspection we could have done dynamic quicklists for tomboy20:11
JanCquicklists don't support pinning either  ;)20:12
jcastrowell, no app is doing dynamic quicklists afaict20:12
jcastroheya vish20:38
jcastrodo you know the art guy doing this? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/making-libreoffice-blend-in-ubuntu-icon-porting-project-download-plus-how-to-help20:39
vishyup..20:39

* popey is watching Dr Who Confidential atm22:14

pleia2apparently it's just a day later, so it airs Sunday night on BBC America22:16
popeyoh sweet22:16
pleia2(we used to have to wait like 2 years)22:16
popeythats much better than last season22:16

popeySteven Moffat did a Q&A on the radio the other day, with listeners posting questions. Was good fun22:17
pleia2cool22:17
popeyhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010g9f022:17
popeyguessing you can't get that?22:18

Technovikingpopey: a was trying to find out if they needed any extras for that epidsode, but my friend who is in SAG could not find out even22:31
popeyheh22:32
Technovikingmy wife likes the new Doctor, I still prefer Tennant22:34
popeyme too22:34
popeydo you get Dr Who Confidential on BBC America too?22:35
TechnovikingWe need a new two/three doctor special22:35
Technovikingwe got a recap special, but not confidential, unless on late night22:36
mhall119nhandler: ping22:39
Technovikingpopey: BTW, my wife is complete addicted to the royal wedding22:39
popeyheh22:42
popeyoh, didnt realise that Moffat quit doing the TinTin movie with Spielberg to do Doctor Who22:45
JanCI can understand perfectly  ;)22:51
JanCdoing a TinTin movie must be a nightmare22:51
Technovikingjcastro: I'm starting to use OSX like Unity when I'm on OSX22:51
Technovikingheh22:51
JanCthe TinTin heirs are worse than Disney when it comes to copyright extortion22:53
JanCmaking a TinTin joke in public is probably good enough to get their lawyer to send a licensing contract to you  ;)22:55
JanC(oh no, what did I just do...  :-/ )22:56
popeyTechnoviking: i do the same, I have the dock on the left22:56
