[10:08] <rverrips> Hi Guys - Anyone know the time when 11.04 finalrelease will be available for  download from the website/
[10:08] <nlsthzn> rverrips: most probably very late tonight early morning
[10:09] <nlsthzn> rverrips: I will try and get you a link to it before it is official :p Give me a while (I sometimes get a link to a mirror that has it first... got the latest openSUSE 6 hours before it propgated to all the mirrors)
[10:10] <rverrips> Thanks Neil, that'll be great!
[10:12] <nlsthzn> I am still pondering if I should get a new image and re-install or just update my beta 2... choices choices :)
[10:18] <rverrips> nlsthzn - desktop/laptop or server?
[10:18] <rverrips> nlsthzn: real or virtual?
[10:18] <rverrips> guess that show be iron or vapour :-)
[10:19] <nlsthzn> rverrips: I like to keep it real :p ... nah, just my lappy... ran the alpha, all updated, clean install of beta was much better... less buggy... so even though a fully updated beta should be equal to the release I suspect it isn't always the case
[10:20] <rverrips> agreed with your instinct nlsthzn ...
[10:21] <nlsthzn> :)
[10:21] <rverrips> Oooh, it's out : http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso
[10:22] <nlsthzn> rverrips: be carefull... could just be the beta...
[10:22] <rverrips> Drat ... it is still beta ... sorry for the fake excitement ...
[10:22] <nlsthzn> the url will be 11.04 and not natty and only when the release manager says it is out is anything official..
[10:23] <nlsthzn> I just joined #ubuntu-release-party :p
[10:26] <nlsthzn> too crowded
[10:27] <nlsthzn> in the release party... sheese
[10:28] <rverrips> Seems like no-one there as a clue either ... Twitter is also buzzing but nothing confirmed yet ...
[10:30] <nlsthzn> rverrips: I am following Google real-time ... no luck on a link....
[10:31] <rverrips> Not sure if this is reliable .... ftp://ftp.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04
[10:31] <nlsthzn> a few releases ago there was a sight with running commentary... think it was for opensuse though... they would update every few minutes letting you know which packages have been built, iso's verified, mirrors updated
[10:33] <rverrips> Now THAT sounds like a Party, nl!
[10:33] <rverrips> (Watching code compile :-) )
[10:34] <nlsthzn> hehe... I enjoyed it... not sure why... :p
[10:38] <rverrips> I was being serious - I still get a buzz everytime I get to hit enter after typing "make install"
[10:39] <nlsthzn> rverrips: :)
[10:58] <rverrips> I think it may be out?
[10:59] <rverrips> http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso - However the iso is dated yesterday?
[11:14] <nlsthzn> well it's here
[11:15] <hadenx> Guys..!!
[11:16] <hadenx> nlsthzn , bassem , xnixan
[11:16] <nlsthzn> hadenx: yes, I am a guy
[11:16] <hadenx> Natty is officially released :)
[11:18] <Toki> Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal released! http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/
[11:18] <Toki> Main site still not updated, final version can be found at the link provided.
[11:19] <Toki> nlsthzn, hadenx, xnixan take note!
[11:20] <nlsthzn> Toki: hey... please note that the iso's still have dates ranging from the 26th...
[11:21] <Toki> Also beware their's a major power consumption regression in the kernel shipped with Natty, and the latest kernels.
[11:21] <Toki> nlsthzn: Only direct download .iso are from the 26th.
[11:22] <nlsthzn> Toki: saw that... but so far it is only phoronix that seems to have found that... and ppl on the forums have seen the opposite in there own tests
[11:22] <Toki> nlsthzn: Link?
[11:22] <nlsthzn> Toki: I will wait till the release manager says its official... seems some of the mirrors are still getting propogated etc
[11:23] <Toki> nlsthzn: Bittorrent. :D
[11:23] <bassem> hadenx,
[11:23] <Toki> bassem: You were there? Natty's been released.
[11:23] <nlsthzn> Toki: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737077
[11:23] <Toki> nlsthzn: Much obliged.
[11:23] <nlsthzn> the torrent might be new... but that doesn't mean the file it points to is :p
[11:24] <bassem> Toki, ?!
[11:24] <nlsthzn> Toki: check out #ubuntu-beginners-party
[11:24] <Toki> bassem: Natty released today: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ Direct download link still not updated.
[11:24] <Toki> nlsthzn: Party?
[11:25] <nlsthzn> I would hold of on any downloading until the release is "official" ... might easily land with beta 2 without knowing it :p
[11:26] <bassem> it's not officail yet on the website
[11:26] <Toki> nlsthzn: You da boss, but the ISOs don't say beta or alpha as they did before.
[11:26] <Toki> bassem: Correct, presumably because direct download isn't ready yet.
[11:27] <nlsthzn> Toki: the daily build don't say so in the file... I have several ISO's and the name doesn't say anything about alpha or beta...
[11:27] <bassem> anyway, you can wait a few hours!!!
[11:27] <Toki> I'm not downloading myself. I don't have my own laptop to use... ;(
[11:29] <rverrips> Hey Toki - Haven't seen you in a while - You keeping well?
[11:29] <rverrips> nlsthzn - You downloaded the 11.04 iso yet?
[11:30] <Toki> rverrips: I am, just did not find the motivation to get on the channel while doing other stuff.
[11:30] <Toki> rverrips: Just announced the release, but everyone's waiting for website update and official announcement.
[11:30] <nlsthzn> rverrips: not 100% sure it is official yet... I have my suspicions so I am waiting for the release manager to so it is out
[11:31] <rverrips> Good to hear you're well, Toki ... yeah, website and official release notif' is dragging ...
[11:32] <Toki> nlsthzn: What's in the channel you wanted me to visit?
[11:32] <nlsthzn> I lost net when the etislat guys came to install this e-vision pvr thingy ... more TV I am not going to watch :p
[11:32] <Toki> nlsthzn: It's as dead as the moon's core.
[11:33] <nlsthzn>  #ubuntu-release-party?
[11:33] <Toki> nlsthzn: Why bother with TV, we've YouTube!
[11:33] <Toki> nlsthzn: Right.
[11:33] <nlsthzn> Toki: it is busier than #ubuntu at the moment
[11:33] <rverrips> 1687 members on #ubuntu-releae-party ...
[11:34] <nlsthzn> it's nuts in there :p
[11:34] <Toki> nlsthzn: Wait, you said #ubuntu-beginners-party.
[11:34] <nlsthzn> lol... my bad :p
[11:34] <Toki> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/ubuntu-billboard-spotted-on-highway-101/
[11:35] <nlsthzn> lol, I have so many links like the one above in my twitter feed to go through... just need more time...
[11:36] <nlsthzn> guys excuse me for a bit... wife has taken ill and I am left with a bit of housework to do... will be on and off as I can... once the release is official I will once again be re-installing :p
[11:37] <Toki> nlsthzn: See ya.
[11:37] <Toki> We need similar billboard with latest logo in UAE, ASAP!
[11:38] <rverrips> I can arrange a billboard Toki ... Where to get funding?
[11:38] <Toki> Linux support providers, rverrips?
[11:39] <rverrips> I'd assume they'd rather put their companies name on the billboard ...
[11:45] <TheLive1> congrats on the new release
[11:45] <TheLive1> whose on it already?
[11:47] <nlsthzn> http://omgubuntu.co.uk/hub/natty
[11:48] <nlsthzn> Toki: rverrips ^
[11:49] <nlsthzn> never mind... it is a silly link... my net is uber slow so it took a while to check it out myself...
[11:56] <rverrips> Not as excting as the #ubuntu-release-party channel ... 1708 members and still growing - I'm guessing the eastern seaboard has woken up :-)
[11:58] <Toki> Back, and looks like the website has been updated.
[11:59] <Toki> rverrips, bassem, nlsthzn, xnixan, website updated, looking great.
[12:02] <nlsthzn> Toki: Awesome... I do feel good about Unity and where Ubuntu is going :D
[12:05] <nlsthzn> wow... servers seem to be taking a hit... everything slowing down :)
[12:16] <bassem> there's a typo in the last post in our facebook page
[12:18] <nlsthzn> bassem: it happens
[12:18] <bassem> nlsthzn, who can correct it
[12:18] <bassem> ?
[12:19] <nlsthzn> bassem: rverrips I belive
[12:19] <nlsthzn> *believe
[12:20] <rverrips> Sorry, that was me - Fixing it ...
[12:21] <rverrips> Sorry, what is the typo?
[12:23] <rverrips> Oooh, gotta dash - Mail me the typo, I'll fix it ...
[12:23] <bassem> rverrips, 2001 instead of 2011
[12:39] <nlsthzn> kicked the power out on my lappy (no battery in at the moment) :/
[13:43] <rverrips_> Hi, I'm back ... So is it official yet?
[13:45] <hadenx> rverrips
[13:45] <hadenx> Yes..
[13:55] <nlsthzn> downloaded and seeding already...
[13:56] <hadenx> nlsthzn , I'm not yet ready to move to 11.04 :)
[13:57] <nlsthzn> :)
=== rverrips_ is now known as rverrips
[14:53] <Toki> Is it just me or is the new Ubuntu site is broken?
[14:56] <Toki> rverrips: May I bother you?
[14:58] <rverrips> sure
[14:58] <Toki> rverrips: http://i.imgur.com/I3ZWC.png
[14:59] <Toki> Is your Ubuntu homepage broken as well?
[15:00] <rverrips> Nope, mine seems a lot better than yours :-)
[15:00] <Toki> rverrips: Dammit, is it Windows or something else?
[15:01] <rverrips> Mac - Still re-installing my Ubuntu machine ...
[15:02] <Toki> rverrips: No. I meant the reason behind the broken website - IE, Chrome shows same results.
[15:02] <Toki> So does a VPN connection to the US.
[15:15] <Toki> rverrips: Even on the Natty I have since Alpha 3, the webpage is broken. :'(
[15:19] <rverrips> http://i.imgur.com/JJflz.png - Seems fine in Rockmelt (which is really just Chrome)
[15:24] <rverrips> Also seems ok in Firefox 3.6, I'd say it's your connection or proxy or something, but then using your VPN should fix that?   http://i.imgur.com/x0zHa.png
[15:27] <rverrips> Toki?
[17:41] <Toki> rverrips: Congrats!
[17:43] <hadenx> Toki , congrats for ?
[17:59] <rverrips> Reason 1104 why I love Ubuntu - You can upgrade the server you have no physical access to, to the latest release through ssh with minimal effort/strain :-)
