mhall119morning13:09
nigelbhello mhall11913:10
mhall119paultag: ping13:24
jcastrokim0: ok, check out the unity bzr log now. :)13:34
paultagmhall119: pong13:46
paultagmhall119: what's up, how can I help?13:46
mhall119paultag: we've got your name as an author on one of the css files in loco-directory13:48
paultagmhall119: yessir.13:48
paultagmhall119: feel free to mush that to ubuntu community or something13:48
paultagmhall119: not canonical, please13:48
mhall119not canonical, either loco-directory-dev, or the parent community web dev team13:49
paultagmhall119: that's fine :)13:49
mhall119nigelb: ^^^ make it so13:49
mhall119thanks paultag13:49
paultagI hereby sign that file off to you guys in all ways are legal :)13:49
paultagmhall119: no problem, thank you for your work13:49
mhall119thank you for yours13:50
paultagit's nothing, really13:50
mhall119oh well in that case I take it back :P13:52
paultag:)13:52
mhall119how's your syn rework going?13:52
nigelbmhall119: okay.13:53
paultagmhall119: OK. I got distracted with helping a friend learn git, so I lost time last night, but I have it doing some super-cool things. It can read  and write bz2 compressed json files to the fs, and archives13:53
paultagmhall119: so I'm going to use that a bunch-load.13:53
nigelbOn a side note, some day I want to do the "^^ make it so"13:53
paultagnigelb: it's the best thing in the world13:53
mhall119sounds interesting13:54
mhall119is the package data in json?13:54
paultagmhall119: yes, and all the control files, so that I can script updates, and I won't have to do jack unless it fails13:54
paultagmhall119: this cuts out about 90% of the work13:54
mhall119nice13:55
paultagmhall119: so the binaries will have all sorts of stuff, and it will all be compressed json, it's fairly cool13:55
mhall119paultag: you know what I really want, unprivileged user installs13:55
paultagmhall119: this can do it13:55
mhall119that would rock13:55
paultagmhall119: but it won't allow you to link the package unprivd13:55
mhall119install it into ~/bin/ and ~/share/13:55
paultagoh, that'd be cool. I'll consider adding that once it's stable13:56
mhall119cool13:56
paultagmhall119: it supports more then one root, I was going to use a flash drive to hold a package set and a directive telling it what to get linked over13:56
mhall119i think that would be a killer feature13:56
paultagmhall119: so you can plug in, and install, unplug and uninstall, but that would work in ~ as well13:56
mhall119nice, I guess Android does something like that13:57
mhall119?13:57
paultagmhall119: kinda sorta, aye. I was going to make this so I can have a flash-drive full of development headers or something :)13:57
mhall119oh not like a thumb drive of l33t hacker tools that you don't want TSA seeing installed?13:58
paultagor that :)13:58
mhall119or keep all your non-free apps on a separate drive, so you can quickly yank it out when RMS pays you a surprise visit13:59
paultag+1!13:59
paultagnigelb: I can't find it but there's a TNG speech that was close to what you said :E)14:00
paultag:) *14:00
mhall119keep your Koder Kombat binaries separate14:00
mhall119Paultag Wins! ~Segfault~14:00
paultagmhall119: da-da-dana da-da-da-na!14:00

jcastrojono: can you post this? http://twitter.com/#!/ubuntuunity/status/91158469696176130 We had a low turn out last week so I need to get a bigger bullhorn.14:58
jcastroalso, I could use some retweets from anyone in here. :)14:59
popeyyou need to write better tweets14:59
popeyi was asleep by the 3rd word14:59
jcastrowhat would you recommend?15:00
popeyput the last words at the start15:00
jcastro"Come hack on unity before popey deletes the mailing list!"15:00
popeytell people they can get involved15:00
popeynot "come to a meeting"15:00
jcastroah, good point15:00
dholbachjcastro, popey has a career in marketing ahead of him15:01
popeyhah!15:01
popeyplease, god, no.15:01
jcastrodholbach: what I need here is a graph15:01
popeyI am good at testing though :D15:01
jcastrook next time I'll put the draft tweet in here15:02
popeyone of my friends made the mistake of releasing an iphone app _before_ I'd seen it15:02
jcastrothen we can slice it and dice it15:02
popeyhe got a whole load of bug reports after I'd played with it15:02
popeyso much so that another friend got special dispensation from his company to let me have a private beta because he knows I break stuff :D15:02
popeyer15:02
popeys/break/test/15:02
Pendulumpopey: break. it sounds better that way ;-)15:02
popeyjcastro: we need a collaborative tweet editor15:03
dholbachjcastro, I'll put you on an ignore list15:03
popeylike etherpad but only 140 chars15:03
paultaghahaha that'd be pretty easy and fun15:03
paultagbut totally useless :)15:03
jcastrois dpm back yet?15:04
dpmjcastro, o/15:04
jcastrodpm: hey, are you on google+ yet? That way we can do the hangout for team calls15:04

paultagI mean, now my social network?15:05
paultagif I get banned for whatever reason, I loose email, social contact, calendar, and a whole bunch of other stuff15:05
jcastroI wish normal people were on it15:05

paultagjcastro: my IRL non-nerd friends are on it15:06
paultagjcastro: you might just be too old15:06
* paultag ducks15:06
jcastroI've got a few15:06
jcastroI wish you could just shut people off in the stream15:06
jcastroit's like zonker won't stfu and posts every 5 minutes.15:06
jcastroyou have a blog dude!15:07
paultagjcastro: push him into another circle15:07
paultagyou can filter circles and make them on the fly15:07
jcastrothat doesn't take him off the stream15:07
paultagjcastro: srsly? I thought you can modify that15:07
jcastroyou can't say "I don't want this circle on my stream"15:07
paultagno but you can say you want everything bug that15:07
paultagjcastro: dude it's on the left, I just changed it15:08
paultagmichigan education15:09
jcastroRight, but I am talking about the home stream15:09
jcastroI know I can look at streams for individual circles15:10
jonohow can I set the default webcam in Ubuntu?15:11
jcastrogstreamer-properties15:11
jcastrolook in the video tab somewhere15:11
jcastrofor Device under default input or something like that15:12

paultagI'm still not sold15:16
paultagI really don't like the single point of failure15:16
popeymeh15:16
paultagpopey: what would you do if google banned you, right now15:17
paultagpopey: seriously, how could you do anything?15:17
popeypoint my mx somewhere else15:17
paultagpopey: but you still have mail going to @gmail, I'm sure15:17
popeyi tend not to worry about stuff that is _highly_ unlikely to happen15:17
jcastroWHAT IF THERE WAS A LASER.15:18
popeyi worry more about the disk in my laptop going bag15:18
paultagpoint taken.15:18
popey*bang15:18

jcastrook popey16:22
jcastroI need your help for a sexy title for this week's unity report16:22
popeyOkay16:24
popeyWhat's the most contentious thing in it? :D16:24
popeyand what's the least16:24
dholbachjcastro, the Brits have much more experience with catchy head lines :-P16:30
jcastropopey: nothing, it's basically another boring sounding report so far16:30
jcastrohttp://pad.ubuntu.com/unity-report-12Jul16:30
jcastroalso, I don't want to use the words "sexy", or "ace". Heh.16:31
popeyuhhhh16:32
popeywe're doing the mac "drag a mounted item to the trash to unmount it" crack that people have taken the piss out of for _years_ ?16:32
jcastroshrug16:38
jcastroI thought people liked that?16:38
popeyheh16:38
jcastronigelb: check this out: https://ec2-50-19-128-105.compute-1.amazonaws.com/16:38
jcastroand login with guest/guest16:38
Pendulum'Doing Crack Like a Mac' probably isn't an appropriate bug report titel then? ;-)16:38
jcastrokirkland is using this to "termcast" his session for UDW.16:38
jcastroit's just an ajaxterm + ec216:38
jcastroanyway, it'd be neat to have this available for anyone in the project16:39
nigelbjcastro: GAWD, Its awesome16:39
popeyhehe16:39
popeyits screen -x isnt it?16:39
jcastronigelb: he can't figure out how to set the ubuntu font in CSS16:39
jcastrowant to lend him a hand?16:39
nigelbjcastro: sure, where?16:40
jcastrohe has like 20 minutes until his class begins16:40
jcastrohe's "kirkland" on IRC16:40
nhandlerpopey: A bit more restricted. You can't control it as a guest16:40
popeythats sweet16:40
jcastronigelb: figure out how to use the mono font, that would be wicked.16:40
nhandlerHe has done stuff ike this for most of his sessions in the past16:40
pleia2jcastro: my slide for your unity story: http://princessleia.com/temp/unity_launcher_size_change_slide.png16:40
jcastro\o/16:41
pleia2(real statuses from the bug!)16:41
jcastrowoo hoo!16:41
dholbachthe ajaxterm looks nice - I just hope we have something good in the log later on too16:41
jcastroyou have to log it by hand16:42
jcastroit would be nice if there was a download log button16:42
jcastrobut baby steps. :)16:42
jcastropleia2: those steps won't help the people who are all about clicking on an icon to minimize an app instead of expose it16:42
jcastrobut whatever, you can't win em all16:42
pleia2sure, but my talk is about a single volunteer making a major difference, not unity UI (and thank goodness for that!)16:43
pleia2ted can do the unity talks, he's good at wearing rotten vegetables16:44
jcastroheh16:55
jcastropleia2: when you're done can you send me all your slides?16:56
jcastroI'm all about ripping people off.16:56
jcastropopey: any title ideas?16:56
pleia2jcastro: will do17:00
popey"Pixel-Perfect" could be appropriate jcastro17:00
jcastroreally?17:02
jcastroisn't that kind of cocky sounding?17:02
popeywell it's only really refering to the first fix17:03
popeyinteresting to have a fix for ALT+F2 (Run) and /run in one17:04
jcastrook I just need a title for the whole thing17:05
jcastrothink faster17:05
popeyhah17:05
popeyI cant work like this!17:05

jcastrojames_w: do you know if LP keeps tracks of the # of reviews someone does on an LP project?19:03
james_wjcastro, I don't think it does as a number19:03
jonojcastro, ok to upgrade to oneiruc?19:03
jonooneiric?19:03
james_wI think you might be able to query the api to tell you though19:03
jcastrojono: I have no sound with the new kernel on my desktop19:04
jcastrojono: give me 10 to try the laptop19:04
jonocheers jcastro19:04
popeyjcastro: "Assemble Dune Pet!"19:04
jcastrokim0: can you follow up with someone on LP to see if we can find out who is doing the most amount of reviews in Unity?19:04
jcastrokim0: we should graph that19:05
popeyhehe "Pedant Bus Melee!"19:07
jcastrojono: ok no sound on my desktop, but my laptop is rocking and it's a thinkpad like yours is so you should be good19:15
jonothanks jcastro19:16
jonoI am going to take the plunge19:16
jcastroyou can't be any more screwed than I was a few weeks ago heh19:16
jono:-)19:20
jono...touch wood19:20
jonojcastro, wow, a *tonne* of stuff held back19:21
jcastropastebin what you're doing to me pls.19:21
jcastroare you already on oneiric?19:22
jcastroor are you on natty going into oneiric?19:22
jonogoing natty -> oneiric19:23
jonohttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/643473/19:23
jonoI think it is just removing a tonne of cruft19:23
jcastrodid you manually change the sources.list?19:23
jonothose are the upgrade and dist-upgrade reports19:23
jcastroor do do-release-upgrade -d?19:23
jonoyup19:23
jonomanually19:23
jcastrothat looks fine-ish19:24
jcastrothough when it's done reinstall ubuntu-desktop19:24
jonowill do19:24
jcastrothough me personally19:24
jonowhy reinstall ubuntu desktop19:24
jcastroI would move them back to natty19:24
jonomove what back to natty?19:24
jcastroand let it do the do-release-upgrade -d19:24
jonowhy?19:25
jcastrowhich is the way we're supposed to do it19:25
jcastrofor upgrades we're supposed to use update-manager or do-release-upgrade19:25
jonodoing that19:25
jcastroI don't think we've supported manual dist-upgrades in a long time19:25
jonohow do I do it that way?19:25
jonodo-release-upgrade -d?19:25
jcastrook, move your sources.list back19:25
jcastroyep19:25
jonomoved19:25
jcastroand then just do-release-upgrade -d19:25
jcastrofor CLI way19:25
jcastroor update-manager -d19:25
jcastrofor the GUI way19:25
jcastrothey do nice things like, automatically update your sources.list, disable PPAs before the upgrade, etc.19:26
jonoI thought the gui way was broken19:26
jononot sure why19:26
jonoI will do it19:26
jcastroI prefer do-release-upgrade because it's more informative, shrug19:26
jonook doing it now19:27
jonothanks jcastro19:27
jcastrothis has been a pretty calm dev cycle for  me19:28
jonoyup19:28
jcastrousually there's tons of broken crap19:28
jcastroI am pretty sure your manual way would have worked. But just in case it turnns your laptop into a piece of molten slag I'd rather be blameless and do it the official way.19:30
jonothis is way better19:35
jonocool how it reports a summary of the upgrade19:36
jono:-)19:36
jcastroyeah19:36
jcastroit beats replacing the animal name in all your source list files by hand19:36
jonoyup19:36
macoalso i recall hearing the official way can resolve some types of conflicts better than the manual way19:37
nhandlerThe only time I really do a manual dist-upgrade is if I am upgrading right when the new repos open (before update-manager -d will work)19:37
macofor example in edgy, update-manager would remove evms but dist-upgrade wouldnt, but evms was incompatible with the edgy kernel and would use all your cycles writing logs complaining19:37
jcastroand I never upgrade until they turn that on19:37
mhall119jono: do we still have our LD call this afternoon?19:38
