[00:08] Darkwing: pong [00:10] nhaines: When are you going to start getting the talks for UbuCon. [00:10] I'm working on some plans still, but hope to start promoting by Halloween weekend at the latest. [00:11] I need to find out what the schedule is going to look like from the SCaLE staff, though. [00:11] nhaines: I'll get that for you. I'm having another SCALE meeting with Ilan in a couple hours. [00:12] Darkwing: if it comes up, let him know that by November 1st I hope to start promoting for Ubucon. [00:12] nhaines: Aye, I'll let them know. [00:42] :( [00:42] Boinc seems to not work on 11.10 [01:18] woo sf ubuntu hour \o/ [01:18] http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/6261940625/ [01:18] oneiric on oneiric tablet ;) [01:19] is that a Plastic Pangolin sitting next to the tablet? :-P [01:20] yep! [01:23] pleia2: you should have answered "precisely!" [01:25] haha, next time [01:34] i gotta say, in spite of using it for the better part of a month, i still can't tell whether or not i think unity's new alt-tab switcher is too smart for its own good [02:10] http://usb.brando.com/usb-big-mouse_p02543c037d15.html [02:10] Hella big usb mouse [02:11] I think I'd need sunglasses with something like that on my desk. [02:11] Not to mention using 2 hands to move it. [02:12] * MarkDude wants to use it for Linux display [02:12] And say some crap about how MS will require people to use a mouse like this for Win 8 [02:13] Part of the Metro interface [02:14] heh [02:31] Where is battery info these days? used to be /proc/acpi/battery or /sys/class/power_supply/battery but it seems to have moved (those don't exist any more). [02:33] Can't figure out how to google for it because all the google hits show those two old locations. [02:33] i don't know where to find the info specifically, but upower is responsible for aggregating power-related information these dyas [02:33] *days [02:33] you can use upower --dump [02:34] I usually just type acpi [02:34] but d wanted to know where to get the info without running that program (or if it wasn't installed). [02:36] my laptop has a /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 [02:37] Interesting ... his Dell didn't. (but my Vaio does, turns out ... if I plug the battery in, which it wasn't :) [02:38] hmm...don't have a dell running oneiric to check. but upower should be installed on any ubuntu desktop machine [02:38] upower --dump will print out the full path to the /sys device [02:39] if you go to that directory and ls -ld subsystem, you can get the short path [02:39] thanks, I'll pass that along (he just moved to another room with the dell) [02:55] akk: I'm pretty sure my laptop still has /proc/acpi/battery [02:57] hmm, mine does too, but all the interesting stuff is in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 [02:58] Right, but akk was saying that didn't even exist. [02:59] Right, it didn't exist on the Dell, even though it was running off battery [02:59] and the battery kernel module was loaded [02:59] dell probably decided they were too cool for acpi or something [03:03] They're a bit weird on batteries anyway ... the battery has some kind of chip in it to say whether it's a genuine Dell battery, or something. [03:04] Some aftermarket batteries come with windows programs to trick windows into thinking it's a Dell battery (which of course doesn't work on linux). [03:06] grep "effing battery" EXISTS <<< try that :D [03:12] lol [03:13] Shhh, /me was reading some technical stuff - dont tell anyone [03:14] * MarkDude does not want to ruin his image [03:14] * grantbow can keep your secret MarkDude [03:15] Good deal [04:40] OH NO [04:40] :( [04:41] I missed akk [04:48] fun release dinner :) had 10 people come out [04:49] ! [04:49] Yay! [04:49] :D [05:45] i have problems to install my printer in ubuntu 11.10 [06:52] Gnight all [09:00] is ne1 der [17:14] Dance Party! Ubuntu is 7 Years Old Today! [17:15] Nice! [17:18] * bkerensa just blogged about it ( Happy Birthday Ubuntu! http://j.mp/qqXomT ) [17:19] I need to start blogging better. [17:19] Although, I'm opening up an old chapter to my programming. [17:21] Darkwing: python? [17:24] pleia2: Will Regional Membership meeting be in #ubuntu-meeting ? [17:24] nhaines: Web apps and web programming [17:25] bkerensa: yes [17:25] kk [17:32] http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/blog/design-logo-scale-10x-win-trip-la [17:32] bkerensa: Didn't know if you wanted to share that with your guys up north. [17:33] The guys on the other side of the cube wall are arguing about Star Wars. [17:35] Darkwing: I have passed it along [17:35] :D [17:35] :D Figured a free trip to LA and SCaLE would be worth it. [17:36] Plus, it's less work I have to do. :D [17:56] Darkwing: did you find out anything about scheduling? [17:57] nhaines: I'm waiting for the email. As soon as I get it I'll forward it to you. [18:01] Darkwing: thanks. [18:15] 'lo [18:15] nhaines, Gareth. Gareth, nhaines [18:15] Darkwing: we've met :) [18:15] * Darkwing ducks [18:16] [18:16] hah [18:16] nhaines: Hey Nathan :) understand you have some questions? [18:16] geez, we let just anyone in here now don't we? [18:16] :) [18:16] apparently :) [18:19] * Gareth slinks into the shadows [18:20] haha [18:20] Gareth: yup, just wondering how many speakers I should con into speaking at Ubucon next year. :) [18:20] nhaines: schedule should be the same as last year. [18:21] Gareth: okay, that should be easy enough. [18:22] You might end up in the same room as last year too. [18:22] Gareth: that'd be cool. It was a nice setup. [18:23] Gareth: You coming up to Portland next year? [18:24] bkerensa: not sure yet. [18:25] I'd like to....Portland is awesome. [21:24] jtatum: So no street closures in Mt. View today, right? :P [21:24] hopefully not :) [21:25] it's too cold to go out on the street [21:42] hm, it was just very bouncy in here [21:42] earthquake :) [21:44] that was stronger than the first one I felt, there was some serious bouncy [21:45] huh, didn't make it down to the peninsula - i didn't notice anything [21:49] ah, it was in berkeley, 4.2 [21:49] seeing various irc channels light up with earthquake in sf reports :) [21:51] i think there was an xkcd comic about that :-P [21:51] hehe [21:51] http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/events/nc/71667366/us/index.html [21:53] looks like i should have felt it [21:55] pleia2: Are you a wine fan? [21:56] I enjoy wine [21:56] pleia2: I just got this http://www.flickr.com/photos/bkerensa/6264373715/in/photostream [21:56] * bkerensa is wondering if someday Jono's band Severed Fifth will have their own wine [21:56] :D [21:57] cool [21:57] Yeah... Fiancee likes wine some but I'm not a big fan of drinking :P [22:00] I didn't feel the quake at all in San Jose. [22:00] =o [22:00] akk: I have been looking for you :D [22:00] * bkerensa needs to ask a favor [22:03] * akk listens [22:05] akk: So we (Ubuntu Oregon) have a sponsor for a banner and none of us are Gimp Masters and valorie says you are the Gimp Sensei :D we know what we want the layout to look like and we have the png's and one svg but the final product is looking a tad bit scrunched [22:08] Scrunched? Do you have it online where I could look? [22:09] (sorry for delays, I'm in the middle of a hot convo with Dell support trying to get this laptop to work ... in Windows, ick, then I get to try to figure out if it's possible in linux later on) [22:09] akk: It is on my other laptop right now I can grab it later when it comes to my office [22:19] (yeesh, I hope it turns out to be easier to calibrate a touchscreen from linux than from windows ... this is crazy) [22:22] I don't suppose anyone here knows anything about touchscreens? My worry is whether it's possible to calibrate sensitivity for the touchscreen and the touchpad separately. [23:27] Anybody know how to generate an xorg.conf in oneiric? The old way of Xorg -configure doesn't work (gives errors). [23:28] I'm trying to get a list of input devices X sees. [23:34] * MarkDude feels this way >> http://www.explainxkcd.com/2011/10/12/x11/ [23:34] Every damn time I have learned how to mess with it [23:34] the way is changed [23:34] Like I am a bad user, and should not try it :) [23:36] haha, yeah, I'd forgotten about that xkcd. So true. [23:36] But I have this bum laptop that dell doesn't seem to know how to fix :( [23:37] MarkDude [23:37] PM? [23:37] Sure [23:38] I dont need to be asked on PM [23:38] Part of my being a public figure/d-bag [23:38] :D [23:38] Still a good idea to ask [23:38] Others at east [23:48] MarkDude: You're a busy guy! [23:48] * MarkDude has been [23:48] How was your visit with your SoCal friend? [23:49] It was amazing. [23:49] No longer a SoCal friend though. [23:50] Good to hear [23:50] She moved closer? [23:50] NorCal. [23:50] Alright [23:50] So when is the BBQ at your place [23:50] A month from now, tentative. [23:50] Laura is hella down with vegetarian food [23:50] awesome. We should do another in the meantime! [23:50] I'm bringing her to the Ubuntu hour tonight btw. [23:51] Darkwing: any news on libertopia? [23:54] She asked me if she could talk about how much she hates the UI. :P [23:55] raevol: I'm out of town and can't afford to foot the bill for the table. Our next event will be SCaLE up in LA in January. [23:55] lol [23:58] Darkwing: makes sense, no worries [23:59] i'm excited for SCaLE! [23:59] Hell yes for scale
