[00:48] hi [00:48] oh darn... I just get on IRC and now I gotta run off and work [00:48] :( [01:03] bkerensa, PING [01:03] Any news on cheaper Linux laptops? [01:04] When does CTL expect their machines to hit- end of Feb? [01:05] hmmmm, wonder what GPU those come with. [01:05] got 15 minutes until I head to the Ubuntu Hour for today. [01:06] headed there gives me 10 minutes leeway. [01:06] Intel Core i3-2330 2.2GHz, 3M Cache [01:06] Tello Ben I can check later [01:07] Someone at the conference was interersted [01:07] have fun c_smith [01:07] yup [01:08] MarkDude, I wasn't talking CPU, but GPU: Graphic Processing Unity, commonly known as a Graphics Card. [01:08] *Unit, not Unity [01:09] any clue what the graphics card is? [01:34] MarkDude: Beginning of March [01:35] * 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 [01:49] bkerensa: cool awesome! [01:50] * c_smith is at the Broadway Commons Coffeehouse [01:50] still trying to find a better place to host these Ubuntu Hours in Salem. [01:54] bleh, Plasma Shell keeps crashing...... [01:54] so, is anyone here at Broadway Commons? [01:55] if anyone is here, I'm 2 tables away from the door facing Broadway. [01:55] I can't make it down there tonight I'm afraid [01:55] but where on broadway is it? [01:56] it's on the corner of Broadway and Gaines. [01:56] really easy for me to get to. [01:56] Cherriots and monthly bus pass from school ftw! [01:57] bkerensa, any clue what GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) those CTL laptop have? [02:01] Oh, you are in salem--that's right. [02:01] I kept thinking you are in portland >_< [02:01] lol [02:02] I have doctors in Portland (OHSU) and I go to Portland for some of the Ubuntu Oregon events, I'd love to attend OSCON. [02:09] yeah I'm planning on going this year [02:09] I've been before and tons of swag [02:10] got even [02:10] it's good fun [02:10] I think there will be a loco booth? [02:10] bkerensa would know better..but I think he said osmething about that [02:10] just wish I knew where it was (street address) so I could start planning. [02:14] usually convention center I think [02:14] http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012 [02:14] yeah convention center [02:16] nice, now I can actually start planning for it. [02:37] glad I could help :) [03:51] well how'd the ubuntu hour go then? [03:52] nobody showed up, dunno if I turned any heads to FLOSS either. [03:52] 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. [03:53] heh, I posted about that on #ubuntu-offtopic by mistake. meant to say what I said there here. [04:08] lol [04:08] hate it when that happens [04:08] yup [04:09] well, back to marking software to install [04:56] so what do you do c_smith? [04:56] school, work? etc? [05:11] School, working on getting in Chemeketa. [05:11] I help out here in my spare time (which is getting less and less these days) [05:12] 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) [05:19] what do you want to learn at chemeketa? [05:19] I have an operation on my wrist soon >_< [05:20] not looking forward to it either [05:20] what do they have to do with your jaw, if you don't mind? [05:20] 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. [05:21] damn man [05:21] that sounds harsh >_< [05:21] Scholiosis, Cleft Lip AND Pallet. [05:21] well..hopefully everything will work out this time! [05:21] got the short straw in that sense in my family, but I haven't had a broken bone that didn't need to happen. [05:22] both my brother AND sister have had broken bones due to accidents. [05:22] man that sucks [05:22] I'm sorry :( [05:22] yep, at least I haven't broken a bone in my body myself. [05:22] but..you seem pretty positive [05:22] so that's good :) [05:23] 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] yeah...can't really control it. sadly [05:23] there are things I tend to look at negatively though. [05:23] I'm sure, it happens :/ [05:24] what are you wanting to do at chemeketa? [05:24] but most things are easier to look at in a positive light. [05:24] they do emt/fire stuff there, I think? [05:24] something that will help me at least get in to a better college for programming classes. [05:25] ah cool! [05:25] have you learned any programming, by chance? [05:25] yup [05:25] a bit of Python. [05:25] nice [05:25] I've been working on python myself [05:25] still working on it in times I'm bored. [05:25] if you want to do some collaboration I'd be down [05:25] yeah.. [05:25] it's nice to work with someone, I feel [05:25] little motivation, etd [05:25] c [05:26] when I get bored, I put my effort to learning it. or reading a book. [05:26] have you looked at.. [05:26] http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex1.html [05:26] it's great! [05:26] I also found some MIT classes online! :O [05:27] that looks like it would be better than the book I'm using. [05:27] I've had a hard time with books.. [05:27] I mean I have a great book too [05:27] but the learnpythonthehardway is great [05:28] I learned a lot [05:28] I myself have a good time with books when I can practice it while reading it. [05:28] exactly [05:28] it's just hard that, at least my python book, is 3" thick [05:28] it's hard to prop that thing up so I can read it while typing [05:29] true. [05:30] I have a music stand..but it sort of falls over [05:30] well check it out, let me know what you think [05:30] I'm no expert, but I'll help if I can [05:31] I know some super python programmers though [05:31] 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] yeah cool :) [05:31] ttyl :) [05:32] also, was it you I was helping with the znc server? [05:32] no, I haven't tried connecting yet [05:32] my configuration is..complicated. [05:32] I'm not going to sleep yet. [05:32] ah, ok [05:32] but..actually I'm going to get xchat working though [05:32] still have quite a bit to mark for installation. [05:33] what are you installing? [05:33] 12.04? [05:33] a bunch of games, and some stuff for compiling different programs, and Chromium. [05:33] ah fun stuff [05:33] yup [05:33] what do you use ubuntu for anyway? [05:34] 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. [05:35] awesome! [05:35] yup [05:35] what version do you have installed now? [05:35] Kubuntu 11.10 x86_64 [05:35] ah cool [05:36] KDE really looks nice, and is really functional. [05:36] yeah..and unity is looking better :) at least..with 12.04 it seems better. or maybe I just get it more [05:36] I hated it for awhile though [05:37] looks like I might try 12.04 beta, but the alpha doesn't want to work for me. [05:37] what issues are you having? [05:37] Kernel Panics galore on startup. [05:37] I load up the daily..almost daily [05:37] hm [05:37] interesting [05:37] what sort of system are you on? [05:37] have you tried recently? [05:37] just yesterday. [05:38] it ran fine in my VM..I'm curious what panics you are getting? [05:38] did you run it on a real system or vm? [05:39] VM worked, got a good look at it, it doesn't like being installed on the real system. [05:39] ah hm [05:39] interesting [05:39] well my test box sort of crashed [05:39] I'll likely do the VM for a while until Beta comes about. [05:40] what sort of system did you try installing it on? [05:40] Compaq Presario CQ60-420US [05:41] system is about 3-years old. [05:41] hmm [05:43] now here's a sad thing: many children in the US are unemployed illegally. [05:44] *employed. [05:44] not unemployed. [05:44] I don't see any defects for your system with kernel panic [05:44] would you be willing to do some testing for me? [05:44] hmmmm, then it might be the fact that it is an alpha. [05:44] i'd..really appreciate it :) [05:44] what kind of testing? [05:45] true..if I could get the kernel panics I can double check if they are already in LP [05:45] just install..see how it goes. and lemme know what panics you get, etc [05:45] If you want..no pressure [05:45] I've found I can get a Panic from just booting the LiveCD. [05:46] are there any other messages/errors? [05:46] Virtualbox doesn't do this, though. [05:46] yeah seems to work fine with vb for me too [05:46] so I'm thinking there is a hardware issue [05:46] but..it's hard to say..limited info, etc [05:46] I'd need to get the CD, and the packages would take several hours to install, so I can test tomorrow. [05:46] oki np [05:46] cool [05:47] 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] yeah that's cool [05:47] just a livecd and the actual error would be great [05:48] is that your primary system? [05:49] 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] it's my only PC. [05:52] 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. [05:54] hm no idea.. [05:54] I've played on a wii I think once >_< [05:54] yeah, doubt you have a softmodded Wii. [05:55] I haven't. but I've moded lots of android phones :) [05:55] I'm sure it's diff though [05:55] how do you mod a wii, roughly? [05:56] 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] over usb? a linux app? [05:57] nope, front loaded SDHC card. [05:57] wow xchat is way better than pidgin. that's for sure [05:57] ah I see [05:57] that it is. [05:57] the actual exploit was found by Team Twiizers. [05:58] hold on, I'm going to switch completely. brb === albrigha- is now known as albrigha [06:01] hmmm, looks like I'll have to use the Wii internet Channel to use a Browser based IRC client. [06:02] Mibbit Looks promising. [06:04] bah [06:04] my other nick zombied [06:05] wow..... [06:06] not sure how that happens. would a op be able to help? === albrigha is now known as Guest18764 === kalosaurusrex is now known as albirhga === albirhga is now known as kalosaurusrex [06:08] nah it's cool [06:08] I think I almost have it [06:10] k [06:13] ohh okay [06:13] i think i got it worked out [06:14] c_smith, you still around? [06:16] yup [06:16] ah cool [06:16] working great [06:16] much much better [06:16] won't be for much longer, though [06:16] oki [06:17] but yeah, you see why I use Xchat now, don't you? [06:17] oh yes [06:17] i've used it before and forgot about it >_< [06:17] I use Pidgin for FB and a Gamer IM called Xfire. [06:17] it's much better [06:17] i can never get fb to keep working.. [06:17] Xfire only has a Windows client. [06:17] it always seems to have some issue after awhile [06:17] ah [06:18] but Pidgin has a plugin for Xfire called Gfire. [06:18] hmmmm, I haven't run into that on Pidgin with Facebook. [06:19] i just stopped using it after awhile [06:19] i guess i could try again [06:20] eh i don't really chat on fb anyway [06:20] so it wasn't a big deal [06:20] 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] cool! [06:20] ttyl :) [06:20] and then I'll assist on the Panics. [06:20] ttyl [06:36] anyone around? [07:38] heh [07:38] albrigha Im here [07:39] hey hey! [17:09] hello [17:11] albrigha, you here? === c_smith is now known as c_smith_ [17:13] doing that so I can log into my account with a browser based IRC and help with the Kernel Panic === c_smith_ is now known as c_smith [17:39] hello all [17:40] bkerensa I finally have some time to try and get that ZNC thing working in Xchat [17:40] it wasn't ZNC but cant remember what the letters where [17:41] bkerensa this is TRAVISg [17:42] Anybody here this morning? [17:43] 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 [17:44] cool [17:44] So now I am researching the differences to see if I need to reinstall with 32bit any first impressions [17:45] wait a moment whats the "Kernel Panic" something I can help with? [17:45] 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. [17:46] 32-Bit in general support up to 3GB RAM. [17:47] 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] I see [17:47] it isn't installed, but I have the LiveCD ready. [17:47] ah [17:47] the LiveCD gives me the same Panic as if I were to upgrade and boot up. [17:48] 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] thanks for all your help guys [17:48] no prob [17:48] *tearing up a little* [17:48] ;) [17:49] just wish more people in Salem were interested in FOSS. [17:49] I have heard some talk here at the mission I live and work at of making a jump to FOSS [17:52] hmmmm, interesting. [17:52] well, time to play some Modern Warfare 3 [18:13] Enjoy [18:13] bkerensa you here? [18:13] bkerensa, cant remember how to talk to a specific person I think that's it [18:42] c_smith you there? [19:05] AFK [19:26] any body here? [19:29] all right I am off to backspace then the Library. hope to catch some folks later [19:29] bkerensa really looking forward to the screencast of znc-Xchat set up thanks in advance [20:11] hello [20:16] * c_smith finished playing MW3 for now [20:35] hmmmmm, kinda quiet. [20:58] PARTY! [20:58] BUWAWAWAAAAWAWA!!!!!!!! [20:58] There, no longer quiet [20:58] your welcome c_smith [20:58] lol [20:59] * c_smith throws confetti [20:59] * tgm4883 fires guns into the air [21:01] * c_smith lights helium on fire [21:03] * tgm4883 pumps gasoline into the fire sprinklers [21:03] Da roof, Da roof, Da roof is on fire! [21:09] rofl [21:10] * c_smith dumps Nitroglycerin on tgm4883 and throws a match on him [21:10] ooops, think someone killed tgm4883, better get the police in here. [21:10] (In the voice of Vader) Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!! [21:13] * c_smith fires a sniper rifle at tgm4883 at point blank range [21:14] * tgm4883 holds up the firing pin to said sniper rifle [21:16] crap....... you beat me there. BUT! I have nuclear launch codes and a launch device! muahahahahahahahahah!!!! [21:16] * c_smith launches a nuke at the middle of the pacific ocean [21:17] never said where I would have it hit, did I? [21:17] * tgm4883 locks C4 to c_smith's chest and holds up a dead man switch [21:17] mutually assured destruction [21:17] aw..... crap. [21:18] * c_smith takes a ax and cuts off the arm that is holding up the C4 [21:19] * tgm4883 tosses the dead man switch at c_smith [21:19] fuuuu--!!!!! [21:19] * c_smith is simultaniously blown to pieces and burned alive [21:20] * tgm4883 bows and goes back to writing a unity scope [21:20] lol [21:20] mind telling me what a Unity scope is? [21:20] c_smith, do you know what a Unity lens is? [21:20] yes. [21:21] ok, so the scope is the backend portions that feeds a lens [21:21] ah, ok [21:21] what is the scope for? [21:21] so you might have a videos lens, that is fed by a youtube scope, an amazon vod scope, etc [21:21] I'm writing a mythtv scope for the videos lens for UbuntuTV [21:21] hmmmm, cool [21:22] good luck! :D [21:22] 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 [21:28] ah, cool, well, time for lunch, ttyl
