| bkerensa | hi | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| bkerensa | oh darn... I just get on IRC and now I gotta run off and work | 00:48 |
| bkerensa | :( | 00:48 |
| MarkDude | bkerensa, PING | 01:03 |
| MarkDude | Any news on cheaper Linux laptops? | 01:03 |
| MarkDude | When does CTL expect their machines to hit- end of Feb? | 01:04 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, wonder what GPU those come with. | 01:05 |
| c_smith | got 15 minutes until I head to the Ubuntu Hour for today. | 01:05 |
| c_smith | headed there gives me 10 minutes leeway. | 01:06 |
| MarkDude | Intel Core i3-2330 2.2GHz, 3M Cache | 01:06 |
| MarkDude | Tello Ben I can check later | 01:06 |
| MarkDude | Someone at the conference was interersted | 01:07 |
| MarkDude | have fun c_smith | 01:07 |
| c_smith | yup | 01:07 |
| c_smith | MarkDude, I wasn't talking CPU, but GPU: Graphic Processing Unity, commonly known as a Graphics Card. | 01:08 |
| c_smith | *Unit, not Unity | 01:08 |
| c_smith | any clue what the graphics card is? | 01:09 |
| bkerensa | MarkDude: Beginning of March | 01:34 |
| * bkerensa is likely going to be a contractor setting up SVN/GIT/Trac for them and some other work to make their Ubuntu product development better | 01:35 | |
| albrigha | bkerensa: cool awesome! | 01:49 |
| * c_smith is at the Broadway Commons Coffeehouse | 01:50 | |
| c_smith | still trying to find a better place to host these Ubuntu Hours in Salem. | 01:50 |
| c_smith | bleh, Plasma Shell keeps crashing...... | 01:54 |
| c_smith | so, is anyone here at Broadway Commons? | 01:54 |
| c_smith | if anyone is here, I'm 2 tables away from the door facing Broadway. | 01:55 |
| albrigha | I can't make it down there tonight I'm afraid | 01:55 |
| albrigha | but where on broadway is it? | 01:55 |
| c_smith | it's on the corner of Broadway and Gaines. | 01:56 |
| c_smith | really easy for me to get to. | 01:56 |
| c_smith | Cherriots and monthly bus pass from school ftw! | 01:56 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, any clue what GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) those CTL laptop have? | 01:57 |
| albrigha | Oh, you are in salem--that's right. | 02:01 |
| albrigha | I kept thinking you are in portland >_< | 02:01 |
| c_smith | lol | 02:01 |
| c_smith | I have doctors in Portland (OHSU) and I go to Portland for some of the Ubuntu Oregon events, I'd love to attend OSCON. | 02:02 |
| albrigha | yeah I'm planning on going this year | 02:09 |
| albrigha | I've been before and tons of swag | 02:09 |
| albrigha | got even | 02:10 |
| albrigha | it's good fun | 02:10 |
| albrigha | I think there will be a loco booth? | 02:10 |
| albrigha | bkerensa would know better..but I think he said osmething about that | 02:10 |
| c_smith | just wish I knew where it was (street address) so I could start planning. | 02:10 |
| albrigha | usually convention center I think | 02:14 |
| albrigha | http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012 | 02:14 |
| albrigha | yeah convention center | 02:14 |
| c_smith | nice, now I can actually start planning for it. | 02:16 |
| albrigha | glad I could help :) | 02:37 |
| albrigha | well how'd the ubuntu hour go then? | 03:51 |
| c_smith | nobody showed up, dunno if I turned any heads to FLOSS either. | 03:52 |
| c_smith | but it's only the 3rd meeting (second one I didnt't make, 1st one I hosted, might have those numbers wrong, too) so it's to be expected. | 03:52 |
| c_smith | heh, I posted about that on #ubuntu-offtopic by mistake. meant to say what I said there here. | 03:53 |
| albrigha | lol | 04:08 |
| albrigha | hate it when that happens | 04:08 |
| c_smith | yup | 04:08 |
| c_smith | well, back to marking software to install | 04:09 |
| albrigha | so what do you do c_smith? | 04:56 |
| albrigha | school, work? etc? | 04:56 |
| c_smith | School, working on getting in Chemeketa. | 05:11 |
| c_smith | I help out here in my spare time (which is getting less and less these days) | 05:11 |
| c_smith | plus I have an operation on my jaw coming up (which I wish I could just forget until I have to go in for it) | 05:12 |
| albrigha | what do you want to learn at chemeketa? | 05:19 |
| albrigha | I have an operation on my wrist soon >_< | 05:19 |
| albrigha | not looking forward to it either | 05:20 |
| albrigha | what do they have to do with your jaw, if you don't mind? | 05:20 |
| c_smith | they're breaking it and reconstructing it, similar to what they did to my nose, this will be operation twenty-something, I lost count at 20. | 05:20 |
| albrigha | damn man | 05:21 |
| albrigha | that sounds harsh >_< | 05:21 |
| c_smith | Scholiosis, Cleft Lip AND Pallet. | 05:21 |
| albrigha | well..hopefully everything will work out this time! | 05:21 |
| c_smith | got the short straw in that sense in my family, but I haven't had a broken bone that didn't need to happen. | 05:21 |
| c_smith | both my brother AND sister have had broken bones due to accidents. | 05:22 |
| albrigha | man that sucks | 05:22 |
| albrigha | I'm sorry :( | 05:22 |
| c_smith | yep, at least I haven't broken a bone in my body myself. | 05:22 |
| albrigha | but..you seem pretty positive | 05:22 |
| albrigha | so that's good :) | 05:22 |
| c_smith | yep. sometimes I get somewhat negative, but with this type of stuff, I find it's easier to look at it in a positive angle. | 05:23 |
| albrigha | yeah...can't really control it. sadly | 05:23 |
| c_smith | there are things I tend to look at negatively though. | 05:23 |
| albrigha | I'm sure, it happens :/ | 05:23 |
| albrigha | what are you wanting to do at chemeketa? | 05:24 |
| c_smith | but most things are easier to look at in a positive light. | 05:24 |
| albrigha | they do emt/fire stuff there, I think? | 05:24 |
| c_smith | something that will help me at least get in to a better college for programming classes. | 05:24 |
| albrigha | ah cool! | 05:25 |
| albrigha | have you learned any programming, by chance? | 05:25 |
| c_smith | yup | 05:25 |
| c_smith | a bit of Python. | 05:25 |
| albrigha | nice | 05:25 |
| albrigha | I've been working on python myself | 05:25 |
| c_smith | still working on it in times I'm bored. | 05:25 |
| albrigha | if you want to do some collaboration I'd be down | 05:25 |
| albrigha | yeah.. | 05:25 |
| albrigha | it's nice to work with someone, I feel | 05:25 |
| albrigha | little motivation, etd | 05:25 |
| albrigha | c | 05:25 |
| c_smith | when I get bored, I put my effort to learning it. or reading a book. | 05:26 |
| albrigha | have you looked at.. | 05:26 |
| albrigha | http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex1.html | 05:26 |
| albrigha | it's great! | 05:26 |
| albrigha | I also found some MIT classes online! :O | 05:26 |
| c_smith | that looks like it would be better than the book I'm using. | 05:27 |
| albrigha | I've had a hard time with books.. | 05:27 |
| albrigha | I mean I have a great book too | 05:27 |
| albrigha | but the learnpythonthehardway is great | 05:27 |
| albrigha | I learned a lot | 05:28 |
| c_smith | I myself have a good time with books when I can practice it while reading it. | 05:28 |
| albrigha | exactly | 05:28 |
| albrigha | it's just hard that, at least my python book, is 3" thick | 05:28 |
| albrigha | it's hard to prop that thing up so I can read it while typing | 05:28 |
| c_smith | true. | 05:29 |
| albrigha | I have a music stand..but it sort of falls over | 05:30 |
| albrigha | well check it out, let me know what you think | 05:30 |
| albrigha | I'm no expert, but I'll help if I can | 05:30 |
| albrigha | I know some super python programmers though | 05:31 |
| c_smith | I will, currently working on marking stuff for installation, and then am going to sleep, I'll look at it tomorrow then let you know. k? | 05:31 |
| albrigha | yeah cool :) | 05:31 |
| albrigha | ttyl :) | 05:31 |
| c_smith | also, was it you I was helping with the znc server? | 05:32 |
| albrigha | no, I haven't tried connecting yet | 05:32 |
| albrigha | my configuration is..complicated. | 05:32 |
| c_smith | I'm not going to sleep yet. | 05:32 |
| c_smith | ah, ok | 05:32 |
| albrigha | but..actually I'm going to get xchat working though | 05:32 |
| c_smith | still have quite a bit to mark for installation. | 05:32 |
| albrigha | what are you installing? | 05:33 |
| albrigha | 12.04? | 05:33 |
| c_smith | a bunch of games, and some stuff for compiling different programs, and Chromium. | 05:33 |
| albrigha | ah fun stuff | 05:33 |
| c_smith | yup | 05:33 |
| albrigha | what do you use ubuntu for anyway? | 05:33 |
| c_smith | My only OS, which means pretty much everything, the only thing that held me to Windows I found out worked better on Ubuntu about two years ago. | 05:34 |
| albrigha | awesome! | 05:35 |
| c_smith | yup | 05:35 |
| albrigha | what version do you have installed now? | 05:35 |
| c_smith | Kubuntu 11.10 x86_64 | 05:35 |
| albrigha | ah cool | 05:35 |
| c_smith | KDE really looks nice, and is really functional. | 05:36 |
| albrigha | yeah..and unity is looking better :) at least..with 12.04 it seems better. or maybe I just get it more | 05:36 |
| albrigha | I hated it for awhile though | 05:36 |
| c_smith | looks like I might try 12.04 beta, but the alpha doesn't want to work for me. | 05:37 |
| albrigha | what issues are you having? | 05:37 |
| c_smith | Kernel Panics galore on startup. | 05:37 |
| albrigha | I load up the daily..almost daily | 05:37 |
| albrigha | hm | 05:37 |
| albrigha | interesting | 05:37 |
| albrigha | what sort of system are you on? | 05:37 |
| albrigha | have you tried recently? | 05:37 |
| c_smith | just yesterday. | 05:37 |
| albrigha | it ran fine in my VM..I'm curious what panics you are getting? | 05:38 |
| albrigha | did you run it on a real system or vm? | 05:38 |
| c_smith | VM worked, got a good look at it, it doesn't like being installed on the real system. | 05:39 |
| albrigha | ah hm | 05:39 |
| albrigha | interesting | 05:39 |
| albrigha | well my test box sort of crashed | 05:39 |
| c_smith | I'll likely do the VM for a while until Beta comes about. | 05:39 |
| albrigha | what sort of system did you try installing it on? | 05:40 |
| c_smith | Compaq Presario CQ60-420US | 05:40 |
| c_smith | system is about 3-years old. | 05:41 |
| albrigha | hmm | 05:41 |
| c_smith | now here's a sad thing: many children in the US are unemployed illegally. | 05:43 |
| c_smith | *employed. | 05:44 |
| c_smith | not unemployed. | 05:44 |
| albrigha | I don't see any defects for your system with kernel panic | 05:44 |
| albrigha | would you be willing to do some testing for me? | 05:44 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, then it might be the fact that it is an alpha. | 05:44 |
| albrigha | i'd..really appreciate it :) | 05:44 |
| c_smith | what kind of testing? | 05:44 |
| albrigha | true..if I could get the kernel panics I can double check if they are already in LP | 05:45 |
| albrigha | just install..see how it goes. and lemme know what panics you get, etc | 05:45 |
| albrigha | If you want..no pressure | 05:45 |
| c_smith | I've found I can get a Panic from just booting the LiveCD. | 05:45 |
| albrigha | are there any other messages/errors? | 05:46 |
| c_smith | Virtualbox doesn't do this, though. | 05:46 |
| albrigha | yeah seems to work fine with vb for me too | 05:46 |
| albrigha | so I'm thinking there is a hardware issue | 05:46 |
| albrigha | but..it's hard to say..limited info, etc | 05:46 |
| c_smith | I'd need to get the CD, and the packages would take several hours to install, so I can test tomorrow. | 05:46 |
| albrigha | oki np | 05:46 |
| c_smith | cool | 05:46 |
| c_smith | tbh, don't think I'll actually install as I get the same Panic from the LiveCD as if I were to upgrade and reboot. | 05:47 |
| albrigha | yeah that's cool | 05:47 |
| albrigha | just a livecd and the actual error would be great | 05:47 |
| albrigha | is that your primary system? | 05:48 |
| c_smith | cool, I'll have the LiveCD ready, just need to have a way to talk on IRC on my Wii (not hard since I have it hacked) | 05:49 |
| c_smith | it's my only PC. | 05:49 |
| c_smith | I'm sure I can get an IRC client for my Wii. just would need to figure out how to get it to connect to Ben's znc server. | 05:52 |
| albrigha | hm no idea.. | 05:54 |
| albrigha | I've played on a wii I think once >_< | 05:54 |
| c_smith | yeah, doubt you have a softmodded Wii. | 05:54 |
| albrigha | I haven't. but I've moded lots of android phones :) | 05:55 |
| albrigha | I'm sure it's diff though | 05:55 |
| albrigha | how do you mod a wii, roughly? | 05:55 |
| c_smith | lol, VERY, the main I/O software is know as an IOS (Input/Output System) I usually mod it with an exploit called Letterbomb, and use that exploit to install a channel called The Homebrew Channel. | 05:56 |
| albrigha | over usb? a linux app? | 05:56 |
| c_smith | nope, front loaded SDHC card. | 05:57 |
| albrigha | wow xchat is way better than pidgin. that's for sure | 05:57 |
| albrigha | ah I see | 05:57 |
| c_smith | that it is. | 05:57 |
| c_smith | the actual exploit was found by Team Twiizers. | 05:57 |
| albrigha | hold on, I'm going to switch completely. brb | 05:58 |
| === albrigha- is now known as albrigha | ||
| c_smith | hmmm, looks like I'll have to use the Wii internet Channel to use a Browser based IRC client. | 06:01 |
| c_smith | Mibbit Looks promising. | 06:02 |
| kalosaurusrex | bah | 06:04 |
| kalosaurusrex | my other nick zombied | 06:04 |
| c_smith | wow..... | 06:05 |
| c_smith | not sure how that happens. would a op be able to help? | 06:06 |
| === albrigha is now known as Guest18764 | ||
| === kalosaurusrex is now known as albirhga | ||
| === albirhga is now known as kalosaurusrex | ||
| kalosaurusrex | nah it's cool | 06:08 |
| kalosaurusrex | I think I almost have it | 06:08 |
| c_smith | k | 06:10 |
| albrigha | ohh okay | 06:13 |
| albrigha | i think i got it worked out | 06:13 |
| albrigha | c_smith, you still around? | 06:14 |
| c_smith | yup | 06:16 |
| albrigha | ah cool | 06:16 |
| albrigha | working great | 06:16 |
| albrigha | much much better | 06:16 |
| c_smith | won't be for much longer, though | 06:16 |
| albrigha | oki | 06:16 |
| c_smith | but yeah, you see why I use Xchat now, don't you? | 06:17 |
| albrigha | oh yes | 06:17 |
| albrigha | i've used it before and forgot about it >_< | 06:17 |
| c_smith | I use Pidgin for FB and a Gamer IM called Xfire. | 06:17 |
| albrigha | it's much better | 06:17 |
| albrigha | i can never get fb to keep working.. | 06:17 |
| c_smith | Xfire only has a Windows client. | 06:17 |
| albrigha | it always seems to have some issue after awhile | 06:17 |
| albrigha | ah | 06:17 |
| c_smith | but Pidgin has a plugin for Xfire called Gfire. | 06:18 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, I haven't run into that on Pidgin with Facebook. | 06:18 |
| albrigha | i just stopped using it after awhile | 06:19 |
| albrigha | i guess i could try again | 06:19 |
| albrigha | eh i don't really chat on fb anyway | 06:20 |
| albrigha | so it wasn't a big deal | 06:20 |
| c_smith | well, I'm gonna go get some sleep, tomorrow I'll figure out the IRC on the Wii, as the Wii doesn't have an IRC client (not even a Homebrew app) but it has an Opera based web browser, so I should be able to get a browser based Freenode client working. | 06:20 |
| albrigha | cool! | 06:20 |
| albrigha | ttyl :) | 06:20 |
| c_smith | and then I'll assist on the Panics. | 06:20 |
| c_smith | ttyl | 06:20 |
| albrigha | anyone around? | 06:36 |
| bkerensa | heh | 07:38 |
| bkerensa | albrigha Im here | 07:38 |
| albrigha | hey hey! | 07:39 |
| c_smith | hello | 17:09 |
| c_smith | albrigha, you here? | 17:11 |
| === c_smith is now known as c_smith_ | ||
| c_smith_ | doing that so I can log into my account with a browser based IRC and help with the Kernel Panic | 17:13 |
| === c_smith_ is now known as c_smith | ||
| Tgonza | hello all | 17:39 |
| Tgonza | bkerensa I finally have some time to try and get that ZNC thing working in Xchat | 17:40 |
| Tgonza | it wasn't ZNC but cant remember what the letters where | 17:40 |
| Tgonza | bkerensa this is TRAVISg | 17:41 |
| Tgonza | Anybody here this morning? | 17:42 |
| Tgonza | I have some questions about architectures I just realized last night that the install I did of 11.10 on My girlfiends machine is 64 bit | 17:43 |
| c_smith | cool | 17:44 |
| Tgonza | So now I am researching the differences to see if I need to reinstall with 32bit any first impressions | 17:44 |
| Tgonza | wait a moment whats the "Kernel Panic" something I can help with? | 17:45 |
| c_smith | actually, unless she has more than 4GB worth of RAM, there's not much difference, 64-bit is the first architecture that can support >4GB RAM. | 17:45 |
| c_smith | 32-Bit in general support up to 3GB RAM. | 17:46 |
| c_smith | and the Kernel Panic is from the Alpha version of 12.04, me and albrigha are trying to pin down the cause so a bug report can be filed for it. | 17:47 |
| Tgonza | I see | 17:47 |
| c_smith | it isn't installed, but I have the LiveCD ready. | 17:47 |
| Tgonza | ah | 17:47 |
| c_smith | the LiveCD gives me the same Panic as if I were to upgrade and boot up. | 17:47 |
| Tgonza | You know this may sound cheesy but you guys have made learning more about my hardware and software so easy and such a good experience | 17:48 |
| Tgonza | thanks for all your help guys | 17:48 |
| c_smith | no prob | 17:48 |
| Tgonza | *tearing up a little* | 17:48 |
| Tgonza | ;) | 17:48 |
| c_smith | just wish more people in Salem were interested in FOSS. | 17:49 |
| Tgonza | I have heard some talk here at the mission I live and work at of making a jump to FOSS | 17:49 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, interesting. | 17:52 |
| c_smith | well, time to play some Modern Warfare 3 | 17:52 |
| Tgonza | Enjoy | 18:13 |
| Tgonza | bkerensa you here? | 18:13 |
| Tgonza | bkerensa, cant remember how to talk to a specific person I think that's it | 18:13 |
| Tgonza | c_smith you there? | 18:42 |
| Tgonza | AFK | 19:05 |
| Tgonza | any body here? | 19:26 |
| Tgonza | all right I am off to backspace then the Library. hope to catch some folks later | 19:29 |
| Tgonza | bkerensa really looking forward to the screencast of znc-Xchat set up thanks in advance | 19:29 |

| c_smith | lol | 21:20 |
| c_smith | mind telling me what a Unity scope is? | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | c_smith, do you know what a Unity lens is? | 21:20 |
| c_smith | yes. | 21:20 |
| tgm4883 | ok, so the scope is the backend portions that feeds a lens | 21:21 |
| c_smith | ah, ok | 21:21 |
| c_smith | what is the scope for? | 21:21 |
| tgm4883 | so you might have a videos lens, that is fed by a youtube scope, an amazon vod scope, etc | 21:21 |
| tgm4883 | I'm writing a mythtv scope for the videos lens for UbuntuTV | 21:21 |
| c_smith | hmmmm, cool | 21:21 |
| c_smith | good luck! :D | 21:22 |
| tgm4883 | Thanks, I've got a bunch of it done. I need Unity to get a little more mature before I can feed the lens what I'd like to, so I'm working on some zero conf stuff right now | 21:22 |
| c_smith | ah, cool, well, time for lunch, ttyl | 21:28 |
