grantbownot yet00:00
DarkwingDuckI don't think he has left just yet.00:00
DarkwingDuckspeaking of... LOL00:00
grantbow9 days before I leave00:00
grantbowgreat minds think alike00:00
MarkDudeAre we having a meeting? Is grantbow in Africa yet? Where is the link to the pics from the picnic?00:30
pleia2MarkDude: you should read twitter more often :)00:32
DarkwingDuckLOL00:32
* MarkDude is down with Twitter more for job related stuff. I am at social media overload.00:34
MarkDudehelping people from range of hevy metal crazy to yoga instructors with it. I think the extremes have got to me. That and I still cant wrap my  mind around Dangerous G in Nairobi00:35
* aaditya appears out of nowhere.01:50
DarkwingDuckWoah! Where you come from? :P01:50
aadityaI landed on this planet about 48 seconds ago!01:51
aadityaIs this the orange planet of unity? ;)01:52
DarkwingDuckNawww, It's the Blue planet of Plasma :P:P01:53
DarkwingDuckThis is sooooo strange.01:54
DarkwingDuckI have an AMD64 chipset in my desktop/server01:54
DarkwingDuckBut, 64bit installs don't work on it...01:54
aadityaOw, you did not just talk about that F word!01:54
DarkwingDuck32 bit just did.01:54
aadityaThat's weird. What's the error message?01:55
DarkwingDuckNo, not the F word... the K word.01:55
DarkwingDuckIt wont install... Just hangs.01:55
DarkwingDuck18 separate times with different media/ISOs each time.01:55
aadityaOh, that's not good.01:57
DarkwingDuckThen again... I think my desktop is about to go anyway.01:57
aadityaHow old is it?01:57
DarkwingDuckI bought it when the AMD63 3200+ chip first came out... so, a while.01:58
DarkwingDuck*AMD6401:58
pleia2meeting time :)02:01
pleia2#startmeeting02:01
* DarkwingDuck kicks his server out the door02:02
pleia2Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11August2802:02
pleia2DarkwingDuck: you should probably chair since these are your items :)02:02
DarkwingDuckWell, before I added them today, there was no items :)02:03
DarkwingDuckOkay, Moving meeting information over to loco.ubuntu02:03
DarkwingDuckIIRC the Community Council along with Ubuntu at large likes using the loco.ubuntu for information.02:03
DarkwingDuckAs far as I can tell, it seems like a nice little tool and if people actually go to the page and click "Attend" we can have a count of who is here and who isn't02:04
MarkDudeLike a like or +1 button?02:04
DarkwingDuckI thought there was...02:05
DarkwingDuckLooking at the meeting I have setup for the 11th.02:05
pleia2we did a trial of this (and still used the wiki too) a few meetings ago: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-california/120/detail/02:05
pleia2unfortunately for our past two meetings the loco directory has been completely down due to server problems, so I'm not entirely confident we want to rely upon it exclusively yet :\02:05
* DarkwingDuck nods02:06
pleia2they claim it's fixed, but I'd rather see prolonged evidence of this02:06
DarkwingDuckI'll set it up for the next few meetings and see how it goes.02:06
DarkwingDuckAnyone have any issues/problems with this?02:06
DarkwingDuckWho is here anyway?02:06
pleia2DarkwingDuck: there is a way to add an agenda item, but not mark yourself as attending02:06
aadityao/02:07
MarkDude\o02:07
DarkwingDuckpleia2, Yes, I say that... Must add a +1 attended button.02:07
eps"Bother," said Pooh.02:07
DarkwingDucksay/saw02:07
aadityaUbuntu's table was the shiniest at the Picnic!02:07
pleia2DarkwingDuck: submit a bug? :)02:07
pleia2thanks aaditya :)02:07
aadityaWait, are we past announcements?02:07
DarkwingDuckpleia2, Or, write the module and submit it :D02:07
DarkwingDuckHave not gotten there.02:08
MarkDudeUbuntu *did* have the nicest looking table02:08
pleia2DarkwingDuck: yeah, you do that02:08
MarkDudeIt most certainly rocked02:08
DarkwingDuckWhy is server installing -generic-pae and not -server???????02:08
pleia2I like the idea of trying to use the loco directory for meetings, alongside the wiki for a couple months02:08
DarkwingDuckSorry02:08
pleia2see how it goes02:08
DarkwingDuckOkay, I have setup for the 11th then.02:09
pleia2DarkwingDuck: should probably set yourself as chair though, that's solano stroll day and that's until 6PM02:09
epsI think it's too much trouble / making extra work for little to no benefit / confusing for attendees02:09
pleia2not sure jdeslip and I will be home in time02:09
pleia2eps: the wiki is easier?02:09
DarkwingDuckhttp://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-california/196/detail/02:09
DarkwingDuckWhen/if the wiki is working02:09
pleia2eps: a lot of people can't even log into the wiki :(02:09
DarkwingDuckI like loco. because of the tracking value. :D02:09
* DarkwingDuck is a sucker for stats and tracking02:10
epsThe wiki is a "must run" service. The loco directory is not.02:10
pleia2"must run"?02:10
DarkwingDuck...02:10
* DarkwingDuck is confused.02:10
epsUbuntu's reputation depends on the wiki working. Nobody cares about the poor little locos.02:10
pleia2eps: they are run by the same server admins and are both very valuable resources, the wiki is down more often than the loco directory02:11
pleia2I mean, now that the wiki has been upgraded it has improved, but it was really horrible stability wise for almost a year02:11
pleia2so I don't really understand how you can say "Ubuntu's reputation depends on it" - it didn't this year :)02:11
epsThe wiki is the public face of Ubuntu. loco is the other end of the beast.02:12
DarkwingDuckI still get massive errors trying to save to the wiki02:12
DarkwingDuckbut, I digress...02:12
pleia2a lot of people have trouble with wiki syntax too, loco directory you just click "add agenda item" and don't need to worry about formatting or edit conflicts02:12
DarkwingDuckAnything else on the l.u.c?02:13
epsDid it ever occur to you that some people consider tracking a negative?02:13
DarkwingDuckHow?02:13
DarkwingDuckTracking our events, meetings and everything is key to understanding out exposure02:13
pleia2eps: we have to have our meetings be public02:13
pleia2they are tracked already, that is not changing02:13
DarkwingDuckIt's just the work put into the tracking :)02:14
pleia2yeah, work done by me02:14
DarkwingDuckYeah, I should start doing more along that line Lys sorry :.02:14
DarkwingDuck:/02:14
DarkwingDuck*Lyz02:14
DarkwingDuckdang, I can't type tonight.02:14
DarkwingDuckOkay, next item...02:14
DarkwingDuckI am please to be hosting a Global Jam here in San Diego02:15

DarkwingDuckWe will be doing Upgrading and Testing at the Jam.02:16
DarkwingDuckAssuming that I can get my server back online...02:17

DarkwingDuckWe will also have something online.02:17

DarkwingDuckTwice a month rather02:23

philipballewmy desktop DarkwingDuck06:20
philipballewnvidia gforce06:20
DarkwingDuckahhh, video drivers.06:20
DarkwingDuckThey work well for mone.06:20
DarkwingDuck*Mine06:20
DarkwingDuckNatty or Oneiric?06:20
philipballewnew montor doesnt show an immage but only static. though the old crt monitor showed it just fine. its natty06:20
philipballewit might be the deskop inself. but it worked right before i moved. so i figure its the driver.06:21
DarkwingDuckLooks like there is a gap...06:22
DarkwingDuck32 or 64?06:22
philipballew3206:22
philipballewit also didnt work on 10.0406:22
DarkwingDuckhttp://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us06:22
philipballewodd as it worked with my crt06:22
philipballewi can just ssh into it probably and install that i guess06:23
philipballewso how did the meeting go?07:28
kdubDarkwingDuck_: are we starting those ubuntuhours starting 9/6?16:38
pleia2the loco directory says the 20th16:38
philipballewhey DarkwingDuck_ , did you get a chance yet to chack out cafe hillcrast yet?22:17
kdubi thought we had it 'reserved' or something22:47
kduband, i'm curious as to whether thats for the jam, or for the bimonthly22:48
kdubphilipballew: ^^22:48
philipballewoh kdub DarkwingDuck_ said he found a location for both22:49
kdubah, cool22:49
philipballewheres the link22:49
philipballewhttp://www.cafelibertalia.com/wordpress/22:50
philipballewkdub,22:50
kdubneat, pretty decent location22:51
bkerensaIf you live in the Bay Area avoid BART tonight22:52
bkerensa:D22:52
pleia2and every monday night for the foreseeable future22:52
philipballewseems good. he seems to want to plan the logistics. thaat is a really nice area22:52
kdubphilipballew: you can also bike-ride up there via the OB bike path, i think22:53
kdubgets you through the I-5/I-8 interchange mess to hillcrest22:53
philipballewI might just ride. the hassle of driving on the freeway's compared to a Saturday bike ride seem to favor the bike. it gets out at 7 so there's still time to do something saturday night kdub22:55
kduboh, i meant for the weekly things22:56
philipballewahh. well yeah. as well. that should be pretty fun. I think well just have to see what happens. you gonna be able to make it saturday?22:56
kdub saturday, probably not :P22:57
philipballewno worries :)22:57
pleia2philipballew: haha, great blog post :)23:31
