[04:51] <head_victim> sagaci: gettomg all excited about Natty?
[04:52] <sagaci> head_victim, yeah... it's a great release
[04:52] <head_victim> It's definitely a "game changer" that has people talking
[04:52] <sagaci> since I've actually contributed a tid-bit, ie. translations
[04:52] <sagaci> and a couple of failed package builds
[04:52] <sagaci> yeah, I'm really digging unity
[04:53] <head_victim> I really need to try it out :/
[04:53] <head_victim> I'm just so flat out with work and applying for new jobs on top I've hardly had any time at all this cycle for ANY testing
[04:53] <sagaci> it might take a little bit to get used to but i'm glad I didn't throw it away at first hiccup a couple of months ago
[04:53] <sagaci> yeah fair enough
[04:54] <head_victim> blahdeblah: I forgot to chase you up, did those flood relief PC people want business cards or install CDs to give out with them? If so an approximate number would be good.
[04:54] <head_victim> sagaci: that's the impression I get from a lot of people, the people who hate it only have used it for a short period of time.
[04:54] <sagaci> hopefully oneiric is stable enough to be granted an RC release
[04:54] <head_victim> Those that persevere have nothing but praise.
[04:54] <head_victim> LTS ?
[04:54] <blahdeblah> head_victim: I haven't heard anything back yet
[04:54] <head_victim> blahdeblah: no worries, just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about it.
[04:54] <sagaci> it's basically everything I wanted, done for me
[04:55] <sagaci> head_victim, no, a beta and release candidate release, not just beta 1 and beta 2
[04:55] <head_victim> sagaci: that's why I love Ubuntu, in that exact sentence. I don't want to have to spend days organising my stuff, I want it to just work.
[04:55] <head_victim> Ah yeah I realised what you meant about 2 seconds after I hit enter (I've been awake over 24 hours now)
[04:56] <head_victim> Will be interesting to see the turnout to the release parties.
[04:56] <sagaci> it looks integrated, with the font, launcher, dash is schweet, global menu works for everything I need it to (hopefully for 90% of apps by 11.10)
[04:56] <sagaci> you can change between all top right menus now
[04:57] <sagaci> without having to skip over calendar which has always annoyed me
[04:57] <head_victim> sagaci: yeah I'm just worried about 2d for this old clunker and how it will look beside the main pc with 3d
[04:57] <sagaci> yeah
[04:57] <head_victim> I use synergy so it's been fairly easy to set up Lubuntu and Ubuntu with similar themes to make it all gel
[04:57] <sagaci> but the great thing is, it's still all the same underneath, so if you happen to not like Unity, you can always install another DE
[04:58] <head_victim> sagaci: yeah, I'm pretty boring, I'm the type to barely change a wallpaper (who even looks at those anyway, I always have programs open covering it)
[04:58]  * head_victim shamelessly plugs #ubuntu-release-party again
[04:59] <sagaci> I change the wallpaper, the default ones in with natty are lovely
[04:59] <head_victim> Yeah the only part I ever see is the background to the conky session I run
[04:59] <sagaci> head_victim, is it out yet
[04:59] <head_victim> !isitout
[04:59] <sagaci> lol
[04:59] <head_victim> Apparently not :P
[05:00] <sagaci> i'm joking
[05:00] <sagaci> love these couple of days
[05:01] <head_victim> Yeah and I go back to work tomorrow :/
[05:01] <head_victim> The release party is actually before one of my night shifts but I'm still going to go
[08:04] <sagaci> head_victim: ping
[08:06] <head_victim> sagaci: here for a short bit
[08:08] <sagaci> head_victim: do you know what the go is with the contributor numbers for the -au translations? I mean, it was at 81 when I first looked at it a couple of months ago, now it's 77. Do you have to stay active to be regarded as a contributor?
[08:47] <jfer> hi
[08:48] <jfer> did anyone read my post on the mailing list?
[09:28] <head_victim> sagaci: I think it's to do with old strings being replaced so older contribs are dropping off
[09:28] <head_victim> jfer: the tor one?
[09:34] <sagaci> just read it then
[09:35] <jfer> how did you find it?
[09:36] <jfer> would you agree that the community documentation needs a bit of work?
[09:36] <head_victim> jfer: community documentation ALWAYS needs work :/
[09:38] <head_victim> And from what I understand the documentation community seems to be moving away from wiki like pages to Mallard stuff
[10:03] <somethinginteres> hi all, I am trying to connect to my iPad through the Network using the Wifi sharing aspect of Goodreader. See: http://www.goodreader.net/gr-man-tr-wifi.html I can see my iPad in Network but I can't access it,  I'm getting the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/599649/ I've asked in all the bigger channels but no such luck. Someone asked if I had firewall disabled and such but I've not set that up per se, not sure if ubuntu
[10:03] <somethinginteres>  comes with a default. tried opening port 8080 on the router, still no dice
[10:04] <head_victim> somethinginteres: is the ipad locked down to not allow that?
[10:06] <somethinginteres> head_victim: not according to the application (linked above) the feature is standard and an offical non-jailbroken app. It specifically mentions Ubuntu as being usable
[10:11] <head_victim> Is the domain meant to be local?
[10:11] <head_victim> Just checking it's not a left over default
[10:12] <somethinginteres> head_victim: absolutely no idea. I just clicked on the iPad in Network which is what the apps FAQ said to do and the error came up. So whatever values it spits out were done auto if that makes any sense :)
[10:14] <head_victim> somethinginteres: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-251761.html suggests it's firewall related, be that on the computer or on the ipad I'm not sure
[10:15] <somethinginteres> head_victim: hmm afaik the ipad can't be firewalled itself. So it has to be my router though, I have no idea what to do to resolve the issue in terms of what to unblock. I've allowed port 8080 and it's made no difference
[10:16] <somethinginteres> head_victim: the iPad is connected to the wifi and browsing etc works though ping doesn't seem to work on the IP address
[10:19] <head_victim> somethinginteres: I would have thought it more the computer or the ipad than the router, the router is the gateway to the net not the gateway to each device
[10:22] <head_victim> somethinginteres: if ping isn't working are you using device names or IPs, if you're using names I'd suggest pinging the IP, if that works then you just need to add the details to /etc/hosts and you're away
[17:56] <OfficiallyPC> I don't know if anyone asked this, but when will the Natty be released because it's 3 AM over here and it's not there yet.
[19:52] <head_victim> Aww, if anyone else is interested on when it will be released #ubuntu-release-party usually gets told pretty early on. I wouldn't expect it for about 12 - 16 hours yet though.
