| sagaci | if anyone has an oneiric or precise system install handy with synaptic installed, could you check if the intro screen has "dialog" translated into "dialogue" correctly | 01:14 |
|---|---|---|
| bejames | checking now | 01:15 |
| sagaci | thanks | 01:16 |
| sagaci | if you've used synaptic before and it doesn't run the welcome screen, just go to help, quick introduction | 01:16 |
| bejames | sagaci: still says dialog | 01:17 |
| sagaci | could you also go to settings > preferences | 01:18 |
| sagaci | and the tabs still says Color? | 01:19 |
| bejames | Yes | 01:19 |
| bejames | better check my language settings - should be AU, but not sure | 01:20 |
| bejames | seems ok language pref are AU then GB then Generic EN | 01:22 |
| sagaci | hmm I'll check if en_GB is overriding en_AU | 01:26 |
| sagaci | yep still showing up, I'll file a bug about it | 01:32 |
| sagaci | head_victim: are you going to give out some flyers for new users at the installfest | 08:21 |
| sagaci | jaddi27: zucchini = courgette | 12:28 |
| jaddi27 | I prefer zucchini, but i know of both | 12:29 |
| sagaci | I doubt we'll find many instances anyhow | 12:30 |
| jaddi27 | no, not unless there is a kooking program or somthing | 12:31 |
| head_victim | sagaci: was going to try and use the business cards again | 12:31 |
| sagaci | so what's the process going to be like, install onto new-ubuntu-user's laptop... sudo apt-get update/upgrade, install restricted extras, install maybe vlc, gimp/inkscape, xchat and chromium lo-globalmenu | 12:34 |
| head_victim | lo-globalmenu? | 12:35 |
| head_victim | Basically I'm expecting there to be lots of people who want to talk about it but not install it and also hopefully lots of people wanting ot install it there and then. | 12:35 |
| head_victim | So my anticipation is that anything and everything will happen :) | 12:36 |
| sagaci | libreoffice global menu | 12:36 |
| sagaci | and libdvdcss2 :) | 12:36 |
| head_victim | Hmm can't find the loglobalmenu on my 12.04, maybe' its just default as I already have LO icons | 12:39 |
| sagaci | yeah it wasn't ready for default in oneiric | 12:40 |
| sagaci | head_victim: lo-menubar | 12:40 |
| head_victim | I'm wondering if the wifi will be quick enough to just use that or if we what up the usb drive to a lan onsite to instll updates | 12:41 |
| sagaci | lan would be better | 12:42 |
| sagaci | could you use your 3G router and somehow just allow aarnet through? | 12:43 |
| head_victim | We'd have enough 3g dongles to have one each I'd say | 12:43 |
| sagaci | unmetered and arguably the quickest / able to install new packages | 12:43 |
| head_victim | Not sure what would be quicker though | 12:43 |
| sagaci | ahh, sorry. forgot you had the whole repo on a hard drive | 12:44 |
| head_victim | :) | 12:45 |
| sagaci | so you'd still have to connect it to your laptop | 12:46 |
| head_victim | Still chews a couple of hundred GB just with rsync | 12:46 |
| sagaci | not sure how the throughput would be | 12:46 |
| head_victim | Yeah my idea was taking a laptop to plug into the lan and doing some dns foo to make it work | 12:46 |
| head_victim | But yeah, wasn't sure if that is quicker than the dongles. | 12:47 |
| head_victim | There is wifi on site as well for library members only though | 12:47 |
| sagaci | heh yeah, I finally got the contract waived with Bigpond (the old 3G modem one) and the girl on the phone was like, I'll have to charge you ~$10 for the 1GB of data you used in the time you had the device... I'm like OKOK.. then she basically asked me what the 47GB of unmetered of usage was for | 12:48 |
| head_victim | Hah yeah I am on a 50gb plan that I hardly ever get half way through | 12:48 |
| head_victim | (for the home cable) | 12:48 |
| sagaci | I upped it due to raw downloading a lot of daily's from cdimage.ubuntu.com | 12:49 |
| head_victim | Ah fair enough, I don't usually bother with dailies, just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f | 12:51 |
| sagaci | if my install dies and rolls over on my main laptop I just reinstall from a daily | 12:53 |
| head_victim | I've not had one die that I can't resurrect via cli | 13:00 |
