[01:31] <nhaines> dragon: it'd be weirder if you were babysitting and the kid was like 19.
[01:48] <dragon> nhaines: How did you know!?
[02:11] <Darkwing> Anyone have any expirence with usb flash drives? It reconizes it as a USB device but, not a drive.
[02:13] <DonkeyHotei> the hello kitty ones have usb vendor/product codes 1234:5678, wreaking havoc on linux
[02:15] <DonkeyHotei> they also necessitate a reboot for proper unmounting on mac os x
[02:15] <broder> Darkwing: you could look at `sudo lsusb -v` - find the device in the tree that gets printed out, and see what bDeviceClass is
[02:15] <broder> (you might want to pipe that to less)
[02:36] <Darkwing> broder: It's defined at interface level however, bInterfaceClass shows Mass Storage.
[02:39] <broder> anything interesting in dmesg | tail?
[02:40] <Darkwing> [  575.365357] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access     XXXXXXXX U167CONTROLLER   0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

[02:40] <Darkwing> [  575.422888] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[02:43] <Darkwing> However, when I try to mount sdb  it states no medum found
[02:49] <broder> what about sdb1?
[02:50] <Darkwing> mount: special device /dev/sdb1/ does not exist
[02:50]  * Darkwing mutters
[02:50] <Darkwing> it doesn't show up in fdisk -l
[02:50] <Darkwing> either... However. it lists sdb and sg1 in /dev/
[02:51] <broder> are you sure it's actually partitioned and has a filesystem?
[02:52] <Darkwing> It was... Gimme a sec
[02:53] <Darkwing> Okay, plugged it in my moms Win7. There is no filesystem on it.
[02:54] <Darkwing> Sooo... Now I get to do a google search for building a filesystem
[02:56] <broder> open "disk utility" from the dash
[02:58] <Darkwing> gimme a sec to find my KDE equiv. :)
[03:02] <Darkwing> Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found
[03:02] <Darkwing> I think this key is borked.
[03:30] <Darkwing> Ahhhhah
[03:30] <Darkwing> found a firmware recovery for it.
[04:39] <Darkwing> Well, that worked.
[04:39] <Ttech> Did it?
[04:43] <Darkwing> Yeah, I found a firmware program that runs on windows. So I used my mothers computer to reflash the firmware.
[04:43] <Darkwing> I found it on some russian website LOL
[04:43] <Darkwing> With the help of google translate and my highschool russian I was able to fix my borked pendrive. :D
[18:16] <Darkwing> well, this is fun...
[18:17] <jtatum> or is it?
[18:17] <Darkwing> fun bug of the day... now, howto deal... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegames/+bug/925002
[18:17] <pleia2> oh dear
[18:18] <Darkwing> oh yes... like i said, fun. lol
[18:19] <pleia2> I see the upstream bug brought it to the german list, but I'd talk to an ubuntu german native speaker
[18:19] <nhaines> I think a Zigeuner is a gypsy.
[18:21] <pleia2> (I wince when I hear people throwing "political correctness" around because I've encountered some deeply offensive things that people laughed at and just said I was being too PC)
[18:21] <Darkwing> nhaines yes, its gypsy
[18:21] <nhaines> I'm not sure if it's a slur, although I'm pretty certain it can be used as one.  The German word's related to 'tsigani' in Greek, like most of the other European words for the Romani peoples.
[18:22] <nhaines> I remember playing a rather pleasant song about a "Zigeuner" from a German piano/song book.
[18:22] <Darkwing> i need to find a native speaker still.
[18:22] <pleia2> Darkwing: forward to dholbach? (he's off irc now, but he replies to email)
[18:23] <pleia2> he's CC too, so can speak to CoC violations
[18:23] <Darkwing> yeah, Thanks.
[18:24] <nhaines> I don't see corresponding thread suggested on the kde-i19n-de ML.
[18:24] <Darkwing> oh, kubuntu 12.04 is sweeeeeeeet
[18:24] <nhaines> dholbach will definitely be able to grant some insight into the matter.  :)
[18:25] <Darkwing> kde 4.8 is 110% better.
[19:03] <pleia2> anyone near redwood city that can chime in on the list? We need to pick a place for dinner on Sunday
[19:34] <broder> did you look around to see if there was anything in the foster city area? that's your best bet for walkable
[19:35] <pleia2> is the area actually walkable at night?
[19:36] <broder> not totally sure, but it's very residential, so i'd think it might be
[19:36] <pleia2> foster city is still quite a hike from there
[19:36] <pleia2> 4 miles :\
[19:37] <jtatum> rwc has a little main street with like.. 5 thai restaurants
[19:37] <pleia2> Devils Canyon Brewing Co seems close, but I don't know if it can be walked to
[19:37] <jtatum> i've been to at least three of them
[19:37] <broder> jtatum: yes, but sofitel barely counts as actually being in redwood city
[19:37] <pleia2> 223 Twin Dolphin Drive
[19:37] <pleia2> Redwood City, CA 94065
[19:37] <jtatum> oh.. dunno
[19:37] <pleia2> ^^ address of where they are staying
[19:38] <broder> (it's just across from oracle hq)
[19:38] <jtatum> ah. it's a short drive down to the main street area from twin dolphin. no good public transit.
[19:38] <pleia2> jtatum: will you be joining us sunday evening? :)
[19:39] <broder> there's some stuff on redwood shores pkwy that might be workable
[19:40] <pleia2> yum yum Amicis
[19:41] <jtatum> i think so, pleia2. jledbetter works on twin dolphin so probably knows whatever's nearby
[19:41] <pleia2> jtatum: oh great, can you find her and ask? we'd like to have plans finalized by tomorrow
[19:41] <pleia2> (or she can reply on list :))
[19:43] <jledbetter> Wow, yeah, really close to there. I can walk there (223 Twin Dolphin)
[19:44] <pleia2> jledbetter: we're planning to have dinner with some ubuntu folks coming in for Linaro Connect next week, need dinner place suggestions that are walkable from there :)
[19:45] <jledbetter> For lunch, we've gone across the street which is within walking distance. nothing's amazing though. Thinking.
[19:45] <jtatum> thought you said there was a pizza place over there?
[19:46] <jledbetter> Yeah. Haven't had it yet though. But I think it has the better review than the chinese place we usually go or Una Mas. http://www.amicis.com/
[19:47] <jledbetter> They can probably walk down Twin Dolphin and cross the street or go through the EA campus which is beautiful ;) But might not be so impressive at night.
[19:47] <pleia2> Amicis is good, they have locations up here too
[19:47] <jledbetter> jtatum: I think that hotel is the one folks were staying at for the holiday party
[19:47] <pleia2> jledbetter: will the guards chase them out? :)
[19:47] <pleia2> sunday evening, roaming pack of geeks...
[19:47] <jledbetter> pleia2: I don't think so.
[19:48] <jledbetter> Interesting idea to be chased out though. Specially if you do the meditation maze thing.
[19:48] <pleia2> hah
[19:48] <jtatum> meditation maze?
[19:48] <jledbetter> We have a bike path so I'm guessing no one would be chased off.
[19:48] <jledbetter> jtatum: Yeah. Didn't show that to you? My bad. It's like... actually might be seeable in google maps
[19:49] <pleia2> it's unclear if Una Mas there is open for dinner
[19:50] <jledbetter> jtatum: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=EA+Bikepath,+Redwood+City,+CA&hl=en&sll=37.522074,-122.255012&sspn=0.004976,0.008256&oq=ea+bikepath&hnear=EA+Bikepath,+Redwood+City,+San+Mateo,+California+94065&t=h&z=17  zoom in
[19:50] <pleia2> maybe we just go with Amici's, they're open, have veggie options
[19:51] <jledbetter> Una Mas has veggie options too but not sure of their hours.
[19:51] <pleia2> their website is unhelpful about hours
[19:53] <jledbetter> I hate when restaurants do that. I guess they like getting those phone calls about what their hours are ;)
[19:53] <pleia2> hah
[19:53] <akk> Amazingly few restaurants bother to list their hours on their website
[19:53] <akk> those that even have websites, which is already an amazingly small subset
[19:53] <pleia2> jledbetter: is it a sit down place, or more like chipotle? (una mas)
[19:53] <jledbetter> pleia2: More like chipotle. There are tables. Can pull them together.
[19:54] <akk> Una Mas is like chipotle but a little more fast-foody.
[19:54] <pleia2> ok, I'll call and find out about hours
[19:54] <jledbetter> Amici's might do the table pulling together in advance though with a phone call
[19:54] <jtatum> glad we got the SME here :)
[19:55] <jledbetter> haha
[19:55] <jledbetter> Yeah. Food options around EA. I'm the SME.
[19:55] <pleia2> una mas is only open until 8
[19:56] <pleia2> I think we do Amici's and make reservations, they're open until 10
[19:56] <jledbetter> That sounds better, unless you want to go a clipper shuttle route. Not sure of their evening hours though. I only use them in the morning.
[19:56] <akk> Pizza & Pipes hosted a robot hackathon a few months ago and was pretty roomy, but it's downtown RC.
[19:57] <jledbetter> There might be photos of Amicis innards somewhere.
[19:57] <jledbetter> http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Z56xohgVbOmv-6-EMKlctQ
[19:58] <pleia2> cool, looks good
[19:58] <jledbetter> And, of course, now I want pizza.
[19:59] <pleia2> hehe
[19:59] <akk> I do too, but I have to go meet someone for ramen, which sounds a lot less appealing.
[19:59] <pleia2> jledbetter: think you can put together some walking directions for people from the hotel?
[20:02] <nhaines> akk: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/restaurant_website
[20:03] <jledbetter> pleia2: Sure
[20:03] <akk> Haha, yes! nhaines
[20:03] <pleia2> oh yeah, it's superbowl night
[20:03] <pleia2> but I think fans will be elsewhere
[20:05] <jledbetter> There's also an ice cream shop there that has vegan ice cream. Don't know the name or hours. But I had the chocolate at our ice cream social and it was num.
