| Darkwing | How nice. | 03:25 |
| Darkwing | No more Kubuntu CDs | 03:25 |
| nhaines | Darkwing: well, it *is* the end of the cycle. | 03:28 |
| Darkwing | No, like ever. | 03:31 |
| Darkwing | Canonical dropping commercial support for Kubuntu. Our paid developers are being reassigned too. | 03:32 |
| philipballew | just kubuntu or xubuntu and other versions as well? | 03:35 |
| Darkwing | Well, xubuntu never had it. It was an approved flavor. | 03:35 |
| philipballew | thats right... | 03:35 |
| philipballew | my bad | 03:35 |
| Darkwing | Kubuntu is still an approved flavor. | 03:35 |
| philipballew | I wonder what made the support drop | 03:35 |
| Darkwing | It wasn't making money... | 03:36 |
| philipballew | Understandable I guess. but is Ubuntu though | 03:37 |
| * Darkwing shrugs | 03:37 | |
| Darkwing | We in Kubuntu are trying to figure out if we can survive without two devels | 03:38 |
| philipballew | the community's gonna have to recruit and step it up I guess. | 03:39 |
| Darkwing | :) | 03:40 |
| * philipballew believes in Darkwing | 03:40 | |
| akk | Does the rest of Ubuntu make money? (Silly question, I know.) | 03:46 |
| nhaines | akk: as I understand, Canonical has been just under "break even" for a few years now. | 03:47 |
| pleia2 | Darkwing: gah, shame you got this news *after* committing to a 5 year LTS | 04:11 |
| pleia2 | (Xubuntu is only doing a 3 year) | 04:12 |
| philipballew | with all these support issues with ubuntu i think I might have to switch back to my old distro of Hannah Montana Linux. | 04:21 |
| Darkwing | lol | 04:22 |
| philipballew | before that I was using biebian | 04:23 |
| philipballew | http://biebian.sourceforge.net/ | 04:23 |
| dragon | MarkDude: pong! | 06:20 |
| philipballew | What was the name of Ubuntu before It was called Ubuntu? | 06:32 |
| philipballew | it slipped my mind | 06:32 |
| kdub_ | wow, we have an offtopic channel now? :P | 06:38 |
| pleia2 | have had for over a year | 06:39 |
| philipballew | noone really uses it though :( | 06:43 |
| kdub_ | guess i've just noticed it now | 06:43 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: no-name-yet | 06:43 |
| philipballew | thats right | 06:43 |
| pleia2 | (they had no-name-yet.com) | 06:43 |
| pleia2 | and apparently mdz still does | 06:44 |
| philipballew | Project no name. I was on like mandrake or something then... | 06:45 |
| kdub_ | what's project no-name-yet? | 06:47 |
| pleia2 | the name of ubuntu before it was called ubuntu | 06:48 |
| philipballew | apparently its what ubuntu was. | 06:48 |
| philipballew | this is going to help my new twitter account i created | 06:48 |
| philipballew | https://twitter.com/#!/linuxhipster | 06:49 |
| pleia2 | s/to/too | 06:55 |
| philipballew | Can someone help me add 3 events to the loco list for ubuntu hours? or give me a pointer of where to? | 17:11 |

| broder | pleia2: you don't need rsvps for dinner tomorrow, right? | 19:13 |
| nhaines | broder: it would still be nice to have them, although the restaurant isn't taking them (last I heard). | 19:23 |
| raevol | hey did anybody who got an openstack ubuntu thumb drive at scale try formatting it? did anyone else's bork when they did? | 20:19 |
| raevol | yea, i think mine is just dead :( trash time | 20:42 |
| nhaines | raevol: yes. | 21:23 |
| nhaines | Oh fun, looks like Launcher autohide is going to be off by default in Ubuntu 12.04. | 21:24 |
| nhaines | Despite this being really trivial to adjust I predict massive nerdrage. | 21:24 |
| akk | The way it hides now is actually kind of annoying | 21:34 |
| akk | but that's implementation, not an indictment of autohide in general | 21:34 |
| kdub__ | its hard to get autohide right | 21:47 |
| nhaines | akk: I like the way it hides. I'm not a super big fan of it in 12.04 at the moment, but they haven't done tweaking yet. | 21:47 |
| kdub__ | because its somewhat of a mouse gesture based thing, and people like different gestures | 21:47 |
| akk | It's mostly that it's super confusing how sometimes you can't get rid of it (because you put a window against the left edge of the screen, or something) | 21:48 |
| akk | took a while to figure out the rule | 21:48 |
| kdub__ | philipballew: do you have a date set for the SD ubuntu hour this month? | 22:00 |
| pleia2 | broder: nah, I usually just make reservations for 8 and that' close enough | 22:05 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: wrong dinner ;) sunday with linaro folks was w/o reservations, tomorrow is ubuntu hour + debian dinner | 22:05 |
| nhaines | pleia2: well maybe RSVPs for that would be nice too. :) | 22:08 |
| pleia2 | they were required for sunday | 22:09 |
| philipballew | kdub_, yeah. the tuesday after valentines. I was gonna shoot out an email this evening | 22:34 |
| philipballew | at a starbucks right by the 5 and 8 | 22:34 |
| philipballew | i have to reinstall grub on some red hat box right now at work. Its kinda a pain | 22:35 |
| akk | Good excuse to switch over to extlinux. :) | 22:36 |
| philipballew | im using a knoppix live disk to do it. I dont mind fixing redhat linux. better then if i have to mess with xp... | 22:37 |
| philipballew | grub is annoying. you only care about it when you cant boot past it | 22:54 |
| Corey | Hey pleia2! | 23:04 |
| Corey | Are you the person I talk to about giving a talk at the Ubuntu group? | 23:04 |
| pleia2 | Corey: we don't really have a place to give talks at, I'd suggest going to one of the many LUGs :) | 23:05 |
| pleia2 | we meet for Ubuntu hours (casual, coffee and chat), global jams (collaborative hacking on things) and booths at events and thing | 23:05 |
| pleia2 | s | 23:05 |
| Corey | pleia2: Urm... what was that regexp event you invited me to? | 23:06 |
| pleia2 | Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG) | 23:06 |
| pleia2 | and yeah, I am on their speaker coordinator list | 23:06 |
| pleia2 | email me details of what you want to talk about and I'll get you sorted :) | 23:07 |
| Corey | pleia2: k! | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | we're booked through March, but have an April spot open AFAIK | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | yeah, 2012-04-17 | 23:07 |
| pleia2 | is free | 23:07 |
| Corey | pleia2: No reason I couldn't make that. | 23:10 |
| Corey | pleia2: Just let me know if I'm topical enough. | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | forwarding to the other speaker coodinators, I'll let you know :) | 23:13 |
| Corey | pleia2: No worries. Although May might be better. My wife's show closes the night before. | 23:14 |
| pleia2 | May would be fine if you're ok to plan out that far | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | that would be may 15th | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | well, emailed other coordinators, we can pick a date once they say it's good | 23:20 |
| Corey | pleia2: Yay, | 23:23 |
| Corey | Thanks for the footwork. | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | Corey: what's your affiliation with the project, just use it? | 23:24 |
| Corey | pleia2: Right. And if I can get a few obnoxious problems taken care of, I'll be the debian maintainer for it. | 23:54 |
| Corey | I've contributed code as well. | 23:54 |
| philipballew | How much different is one version of grub from the next? | 23:59 |
