| tumbleweed | anyone want to come and help us get some packages to build? :) http://nigelb.me/ubuntu/2011/07/27/fix-ftbfs-jam.html | 15:25 |

| * nlsthzn waves | 16:56 | |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari: You seem to be on a got mission (well going on your posts in disaporg) | 17:14 |
| nlsthzn | *git | 17:14 |
| nuvolari | nlsthzn: affirmative! | 17:25 |
| nlsthzn | nuvolari: the vid of Linus was hilarious | 17:28 |
| nuvolari | nlsthzn: agreed, lol, I don't think a lot of people liked him after that. | 17:39 |
| nuvolari | also in the comments they showed their dislike | 17:39 |
| nuvolari | ok, hometime | 17:39 |
| nuvolari | talk soon | 17:39 |
| superfly | linus goes to the extreme... he hates CVS so much, he had to make a VCS that was completely different | 18:03 |
| superfly | in fact, it's so different it doesn't resemble any other VCS out there | 18:04 |
| superfly | in my experience, git is over-engineered and over-complicated | 18:04 |
| frets | Maaz, coffee on | 18:24 |
| * Maaz puts the kettle on | 18:24 | |
| frets | Maaz, with sugar | 18:24 |
| Maaz | Help yourself outa the sugar pot | 18:24 |
| Maaz | Coffee's ready for frets! | 18:28 |
| frets | Thank you maaz | 18:28 |
| nlsthzn | superfly: yes, Linus does seem to have issues :p | 18:29 |
| nuvolari | so? call me a linus fan | 18:33 |
| nuvolari | :P | 18:33 |
| nuvolari | ugh, vodacom troubles :'( | 18:33 |
| nuvolari | It does'nt make sence | 18:33 |
| nuvolari | I can connect when I place the SIM in a phone and connect via usb, but just try to use a 3g data card... | 18:34 |
| inetpro | yikes, have not had a power failure in a long time | 18:36 |
| inetpro | we had a power failure at the office earlier this evening | 18:36 |
| inetpro | now my PC is off :-( | 18:36 |
| inetpro | tried to wake it up remotely but forgot that the networking is only enabled at first login | 18:38 |
| nuvolari | R.I.P. inetpro's pc | 18:38 |
| * nuvolari takes a moment of silence | 18:39 | |
| inetpro | nuvolari: thanks, I feel better already | 18:39 |
| superfly | nuvolari: I usually like Linus' approach to Linux and open source, but his stance on git versus any other VCS is rather extreme (and unlike him) | 18:41 |
| * inetpro wonders how to get a PC to auto connect to the network | 18:41 | |
| nlsthzn | Well, I found Linus to be very pragmatic... and hilarious | 18:41 |
| nuvolari | well, let's face it, if you can git you can probably do anything else, therefore, learn git :P | 18:43 |
| superfly | which is why I think he was burned pretty badly by CVS (since that's the only VCS he actually ever talks about) | 18:43 |
| nuvolari | eh? he bad-mouths svn too | 18:43 |
| nuvolari | just because they started with the slogan "VCS done right" or something like that | 18:44 |
| frets | So the new kernel is 3.0? | 19:01 |
| nlsthzn | frets: still in RC but yes... 3.0 has arrived | 19:06 |
| frets | My kernel is so screwed anyway I lost track of the version.. | 19:08 |
| nlsthzn | frets: uname -a | 19:16 |
| nlsthzn | :p | 19:17 |
| tumbleweed | 3.0 is nothing special, just a bigger number. Like firefox 5 | 19:17 |
| tumbleweed | and it works fine, like firefox 5. I can't say I noticed either of them | 19:18 |
| nlsthzn | I did find running 3.0 rather than .38 has reduced the temperature of my lappy (and thus also increased battery life) | 19:19 |
| frets | lol nlsthzn | 19:19 |
| tumbleweed | newer kernels tend to do that | 19:24 |
| nlsthzn | but the rumours of a power regression in .38 kernels turned out true for me... | 19:33 |
| Tonberry | there is a workaround | 19:47 |
| Tonberry | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2638_aspm&num=2 | 19:49 |
| nlsthzn | another work around is to use another kernel :p | 19:53 |
| Tonberry | true | 19:56 |
| inetpro | does Ubuntu desktop assign an IP before login? | 20:11 |
| tumbleweed | inetpro: depends | 20:17 |
| tumbleweed | if you need access to the users credentials (e.g. to join a wireless network), it can only happen after login | 20:18 |
| tumbleweed | if you are plugged into an ethernet network with dhcp, it'll happen on boot. | 20:18 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: are you sure about that? | 20:19 |
| tumbleweed | sure about what? | 20:19 |
| tumbleweed | you can save wifi credentials in a system-wide store | 20:19 |
| Tonberry | when in doubt | 20:19 |
| Tonberry | wireshark | 20:19 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: that if you use DHCP it will assign before logn? | 20:20 |
| tumbleweed | yeah | 20:21 |
| inetpro | ok | 20:21 |
| tumbleweed | if you log in really fast, it may not have happened yet | 20:21 |
| inetpro | Kubuntu has an option "system connection" but it's greyed out on my system | 20:22 |
| inetpro | that is on network manager | 20:22 |
| inetpro | have not played around with these options enough | 20:23 |
| tumbleweed | if you don't configure it not to, network manager connects to wired ethernet | 20:24 |
| inetpro | tumbleweed: thanks | 20:25 |
| inetpro | will play around a bit when I have time | 20:25 |
| inetpro | also want to make sure that my PC is set to wake on lan for next time when this happens | 20:26 |
| nuvolari | o/ kbmonkey | 20:29 |
| nlsthzn | having used wicd to set up my net connection in slackware I would have internet up and running even before I had logged in :p | 20:32 |
| kbmonkey | hey nuvolari, nlsthzn | 20:46 |
| nlsthzn | hey monkey-man | 20:47 |
| kbmonkey | so you liking the git nuvolari ? | 20:52 |
| nuvolari | kbmonkey: indeed. Will take a while to master though | 20:58 |
| kbmonkey | im a fan of mercurial, seems very similar to git. the commands match :) | 21:00 |
| nuvolari | I've never worked with hg before | 21:02 |
| nuvolari | just read a tutorial on it once | 21:02 |
| nuvolari | kbmonkey: do you know if the DLUG meetings will always be in the middle of the week? | 21:03 |
| kbmonkey | the best analogy I read, is Git is MacGyver and Mercurial is James Bond | 21:03 |
| kbmonkey | and I'm a fan of both >_> | 21:03 |
| nuvolari | I'm not too fond of it being in the week/thursday | 21:03 |
| nuvolari | cool! | 21:03 |
| nuvolari | I just find it troublesome when having to work with an svn repo | 21:04 |
| kbmonkey | I think git rocks for github | 21:04 |
| kbmonkey | Thursday is a bit troublesome, Im not sure if they will always be | 21:05 |
| nuvolari | I can't reproduce some issues on a small sample project, but I've messed up my repo on work projects more than once :P I actually was able to resolve it for the first time today | 21:05 |
| kbmonkey | I'll drop a hint to DLUG to prefer weekends | 21:06 |
| nuvolari | kbmonkey: cool, thanks, i'll just drop a mail too, earlier to the date | 21:07 |
| * kbmonkey needs a new calendar app to sync with gcal | 21:09 | |
| kbmonkey | well I'm too bushed to do any tinkering -.- | 21:17 |
| nuvolari | heh, know the feeling! | 21:18 |
| kbmonkey | my legs are aching from all the excercise this week :) lol | 21:19 |
| nuvolari | ok, bedtime | 21:47 |
| nuvolari | night | 21:47 |
| nuvolari | cheers kbmonkey | 21:47 |
| nuvolari | lo sdehaan, goodbye sdehaan | 21:47 |
| * nuvolari tips hat | 21:47 | |
| kbmonkey | nite nuvolari. also cashing in for tonite. | 21:48 |
