| iheartubuntu | nhaines - how is key commands then mouse clicks more efficient then me just clicking the workspace i want? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| iheartubuntu | or mouse clicks then more mouse clicks? | 00:03 |
| iheartubuntu | seems less efficient from my use unless im just firing up supertuxkart every day all day long | 00:03 |
| iheartubuntu | of course i could put QBrew as my #1 app in natty. that would solve everything | 00:04 |
| iheartubuntu | ever since i lost my invest app on my bottom panel i have not been too thrilled. it doesnt work in classic mode either | 00:07 |
| iheartubuntu | i gave up on reporting it not working | 00:08 |
| iheartubuntu | someone kept checking my bug report to a bug report that was blank | 00:08 |
| iheartubuntu | changing, not checking | 00:08 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: I think you'll find that Ctrl-Alt-[arrow keys] is most efficient. | 00:08 |
| crashsystems | if you want one click to switch to a workplace, there is an app indicator for that | 00:11 |
| crashsystems | https://launchpad.net/indicator-workspaces | 00:11 |
| nhaines | I want to know more about Quicken for Ubuntu. | 00:12 |
| === broder_ is now known as broder | ||
| crashsystems | nhaines: quicken for ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: yup. | 00:24 |
| nhaines | It's mentioned here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/office-applications | 00:25 |
| jamalta | nhaines: | 00:26 |
| jamalta | interesting, it's not even in the repositories by default | 00:26 |
| crashsystems | isn't quicken one of the commercial apps that some companies use for accounting? | 00:29 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: you're thinking of QuickBooks. | 00:29 |
| crashsystems | I also think there is one called quicken | 00:29 |
| crashsystems | aka http://quicken.intuit.com/ | 00:30 |
| nhaines | crashsystems: that's a personal finance application, not a business finance application. | 00:30 |
| broder | i don't see quicken in u-s-c | 00:30 |
| nhaines | broder: me either. | 00:31 |
| nhaines | If I can migrate my mom from Microsoft Money to Quicken, and Quicken runs on Ubuntu, then I could migrate her from Windows XP to Ubuntu. | 00:31 |
| nhaines | This would be a double win, since Money is end-of-life. | 00:32 |
| jamalta | It's not even listed under For Purchase | 00:41 |
| jamalta | Strange... :\ | 00:41 |
| iheartubuntu | maybe quicken will pop up in the paid apps | 00:42 |
| iheartubuntu | if quickbooks pro hits ubuntu my life would be great :) | 00:42 |
| iheartubuntu | my wife is adamant about having some form of XP running someplace that has money on it | 00:43 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: so would you say she puts her money where her mouse is? :zing: | 00:44 |
| pleia2 | exopc rumor was true, grantbow has one | 00:49 |
| nhaines | Which rumor was that? | 00:49 |
| pleia2 | 18:41:05 < akk> So, I have no idea if this is true, but there's a rumor (posted to BALUG) that Intel is giving out EXOPC tablets to everyone who attends their meego developer camp tomorrow at Moscone. | 00:50 |
| nhaines | ooh | 00:50 |
| pleia2 | meeting up with him as soon as I wrap up work, I shall steal it from him | 00:51 |
| pleia2 | (just kidding) | 00:51 |
| pleia2 | ((maybe)) | 00:51 |
| pleia2 | heading downstairs to begin pre-release-party adventures! | 01:02 |

| jono | hey all | 01:32 |
| jono | so who is going to the Thirsty Bear tonight? | 01:32 |
| sn9 | not me | 01:35 |
| pleia2 | grantbow and I are at our regular ubuntu hour coffee shop playing with his meego exopc | 01:45 |
| jono | pleia2, cool, I am going to set off fairly soon | 01:47 |
| pleia2 | cool :) | 01:48 |
| jono | I think my wife and a few Ubuntu folks I know are coming too | 01:48 |
| nhaines | Well, I'm not at the Thirsty Bear but I *am* drinking spezi. | 04:43 |
| jamalta | it was great meeting those who were there :) | 05:28 |
| jamalta | sn9: some of the fl people are coming up during google i/o. think you can make it? | 05:28 |
| sn9 | when? | 05:28 |
| jamalta | probably going to meet somewhere near the moscone center. | 05:28 |
| jamalta | sn9: not sure exactly, either may 10 or 11. | 05:28 |
| sn9 | hmm, i might need a reminder | 05:29 |
| jamalta | sure thing.. i'll let you know a few days before :) | 05:29 |
| philipballew | How was the release party? | 06:48 |
| philipballew | my computer wont update to 11.04 when i type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" what am i doing wrong? | 07:02 |
| sn9 | wrong command | 07:02 |
| sn9 | it's sudo do-release-upgrade | 07:03 |
| sn9 | or something like that | 07:03 |
| philipballew | oh, i see. thanks. i thought what i was doing was right, then i found this online and it confirmed (well i thought it did) https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/154667 but still didn't work | 07:04 |
| jamalta | night everyone | 07:19 |
| iheartubuntu | you may now kiss the bride/groom | 11:20 |
| DarkwingDuck | Oh god... not you too | 11:20 |
| iheartubuntu | yup - i drank too much | 11:21 |
| iheartubuntu | now im nursing a big glass of water | 11:21 |
| iheartubuntu | :D | 11:21 |
| DarkwingDuck | hehehe Wife woke me up for it. | 11:22 |
| iheartubuntu | how are you doing dave | 11:22 |
| iheartubuntu | these hats | 11:22 |
| DarkwingDuck | Yeah... | 11:23 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm tired. Updating my server to 11.04 | 11:23 |
| iheartubuntu | how old are kate and whats his name | 11:24 |
| iheartubuntu | where did the years go | 11:24 |
| iheartubuntu | have u been to UK | 11:25 |
| iheartubuntu | ive never been to westminster | 11:27 |
| iheartubuntu | are there many changes in the server edition? | 11:28 |
| DarkwingDuck | Not sure... I'll let you know. | 11:33 |
| sn9 | someone mentioned in another channel that kde4 can be built with gtk instead of qt, and that compiz has been ported to windows. am i THAT out of the loop? | 17:18 |
| akk | kde with gtk instead of qt sounds unlikely. | 17:31 |
| akk | compiz on windows wouldn't surprise me too much. | 17:31 |
| akk | hmm, on second though, probably it should surprise me. I guess it does sound unlikely. | 17:32 |
| crashsystems | compiz on windows?! o_O | 17:57 |
| pleia2 | I know there are some tools that can do compiz-like effects on windows, but afaik compiz itself isn't ported | 18:00 |
| jamalta | sn9: ...wow, someone's not right in the head. lol. | 18:01 |
| pleia2 | jamalta: nice to meet you last night! | 18:01 |
| jamalta | pleia2: thanks! nice to meet you too :) | 18:01 |
| jamalta | sorry i had to run out so early.. it was fun to see everyone. | 18:01 |
| jamalta | well, a few of you. there was too many people there, hehe | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | no worries, that's why we picked such a casual venue :) | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | yeah, the turnout was suprising to me | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | not as big as lucid, but lots of people I didn't expect to see :) | 18:02 |
| jamalta | pleia2: that's always a good thing though! | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | yep | 18:02 |
| pleia2 | http://www.flickr.com/photos/ubuntu-us-ca/sets/72157626484097009/ | 18:28 |
| pleia2 | some photos from last night :) | 18:28 |
| jamalta | woo! nice :) | 18:30 |
| sn9 | is that a furby? | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | no, it's a narwhal | 18:35 |
| sn9 | a furry narwhal? | 18:36 |
| pleia2 | yes | 18:37 |
| MarkDude | pleia2, how come there are no pictures of the narwhal outfit Jono was wearing ? >> https://picasaweb.google.com/tuxwingsgroup/PhotoEdits#5601069697291723874 | 19:12 |
| jamalta | MarkDude: O.O | 19:17 |
| jamalta | Is that real? | 19:17 |
| jamalta | Oh, I get it.. his face was printed out, right? | 19:17 |
| * MarkDude used GIMP to do it | 19:19 | |
| jamalta | Ah... makes more sense :) | 19:19 |
| pleia2 | that's just scary | 19:20 |
| iheartubuntu | thats what i was thinking too | 19:20 |
| iheartubuntu | it looks like the face was cut and pasted | 19:21 |
| MarkDude | I was halfway thinking of pretending it was real | 19:21 |
| MarkDude | it was iheartubuntu | 19:21 |
| MarkDude | The other folks in the pics are Oakland A's players | 19:23 |
| === rbarot__ is now known as rbarot_ | ||
| jdeslip | In case anyone is interested I just built a python google cloudprint server for ubuntu in my ppa | 23:06 |
| jdeslip | It is pretty sweet. Allows you to connect your cups printers to cloud print without having to run chrome all the time | 23:07 |
| akk | cool | 23:08 |
| jdeslip | Been printing from my tablet all morning :) | 23:08 |
| * crashsystems wants to poke around at cloud print | 23:10 | |
| * akk only turns the printer on when I'm standing next to it and about to print something, but it's fun to hear about this stuff anyway | 23:10 | |
| jamalta | jdeslip: oh sweet | 23:11 |
| jamalta | wait, you can't run google cloud print on linux at all, can you? | 23:11 |
| pleia2 | nope | 23:11 |
| jamalta | jdeslip: do you have the code up somewhere? i'd love to try it out sometime :) | 23:11 |
| akk | Really? Doesn't google use mostly linux internally? | 23:11 |
| jamalta | akk: i think they went with the most popular approach | 23:11 |
| jamalta | but that's just a guess | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | when they launched it they said they were working on a linux version, but no word yet, and the docs still say "you will need to install Google Chrome on a Mac or Windows computer that's connected to your printer" | 23:13 |
| jdeslip | jamalta: the code is available here: https://github.com/armooo/cloudprint/ | 23:13 |
| jdeslip | I just patched it a little to fix a bug I found and then packaged it into my ppa | 23:14 |
| jamalta | jdeslip: ah cool :) | 23:14 |
| pleia2 | nice | 23:14 |
| jdeslip | pleia2: you can run cloudprint in the linux version of chrome. You have to go to about:labs and enable cloud print proxy | 23:15 |
| pleia2 | ooh | 23:15 |
| jdeslip | But, I prefer this python script. It think it is crazy to have to have chrome running to use my printer | 23:15 |
| pleia2 | neat | 23:15 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 23:15 |
| jdeslip | and you can run this on login and just pipe the output somewhere if you want | 23:16 |
| * pleia2 haz no about:labs | 23:16 | |
| pleia2 | hrm | 23:16 |
| jdeslip | about:flags | 23:16 |
| jdeslip | sorry | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | no cloud print proxy there | 23:17 |
| * pleia2 upgrades | 23:17 | |
| pleia2 | chrome-stable? | 23:17 |
| jdeslip | Oh, I am running beta | 23:18 |
| jdeslip | (not the development/nightly one, but beta one) | 23:18 |
| nhaines | akk: I was just thinking about nouns becoming verbs (and verbing weirds language!), such as "googling" and "xeroxing" and so forth. | 23:21 |
| nhaines | akk: And it occured to me that GIMP wasn't a product whose name readily lent itself to verbing. | 23:21 |
| akk | I say "gimping" or "gimped" pretty often. | 23:22 |
| nhaines | akk: in the context of photoediting? | 23:23 |
| akk | yes, "I gimped that image" | 23:23 |
| akk | "I'm gimping up this year's xmas card" | 23:23 |
| MarkDude | How about- the image I did was GIMPtacular? | 23:25 |
| MarkDude | GIMPerrific | 23:25 |
| MarkDude | also gimptastic | 23:25 |
| MarkDude | Not the last one per se- that was tooo simple | 23:26 |
| akk | I like those. | 23:26 |
| jamalta | Haha, nice | 23:30 |
| jdeslip | My build of cloudprint has a problem... and now the launchpad is broken so can't upload the fix :( | 23:56 |
| pleia2 | yeah, they're working on fixing ppa uploads | 23:59 |
