[17:08] <philipballew_> Has anyone seen a good app for android that would let me backup to a file server I have in my house?
[17:16] <BotenAnna> isn't there ubuntu one for android? use the ~*cloud*~
[17:16] <MarkDude> If you want to go all non FOSS- Dropbax is easy enough
[17:16] <MarkDude> box rahter
[17:28] <philipballew_> well i already have a home server set up. I could just make it a shared folder for android or whatever android calls it. But ubuntu one is not a bad idea
[17:43] <iheartubuntu> hey all. is anyone here a motherboard expert? my sis is having a really strange thing happen to her computer. it has ubuntu 11.10 and can run for days and days doing ubuntu games and other apps, but when she plays World of Warcraft through WINE the computer will just shut off after about 30 minutes of gameplay.
[17:43] <pleia2> I'd run a ram test for a few hours
[17:44] <akk> Or check the temperature.
[17:44] <iheartubuntu> I put in a new power supply thinking it might have been going bad and it did not resolve the issue. Ive also completed a couple memory tests on different days with no errors
[17:44] <iheartubuntu> im now thinking of checkign the ram sticks one at a time
[17:44] <iheartubuntu> a bit of research online has some people complaining about the video card specifically
[17:45] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: thanks for updating the gaming page :) I wasn't on the right machine to play games the other night but if you have the opportunity again soon I can make some time (and be at my desk :))
[17:45] <iheartubuntu> so i dont think its an issue with WOW in WINE on Ubuntu
[17:45] <iheartubuntu> PyScrabble is awesome :) im curious how many people can play it at once
[17:45] <akk> Group scrabble sounds fun.
[17:46] <iheartubuntu> so if the ram checks out, its leading me to either a motherboard problem or a video card problem
[17:47] <iheartubuntu> im up for a pyscrabble game right now if anyone wants to test it
[17:48] <iheartubuntu> after installing pyscrabble, create a free account on the main server...  pyscrabble.califorest.com:9999
[17:49] <akk> I'm game for it ... do you know if it's possible to switch machines in the middle of a game?
[17:49] <iheartubuntu> i dont know about that
[17:49] <akk> I'm on the laptop now but expecting to move out to the office shortly, maybe should move before starting a game.
[17:50] <akk> Also, do check temperature on the board before completely discounting heat as the problem.
[17:50] <iheartubuntu> its serious when ive pinned pyscrabble to my unity bar
[17:50] <akk> heh
[17:50] <akk> I've had several machines that had problems due to overheating (mostly AMD machines).
[17:51] <MarkDude> Gareth, ping
[17:51] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: er, I can make some time that's not during my work day :)
[17:51] <iheartubuntu> there are two BIG fans... one sucking air to the big heat sink and another pushing it out the computer, plus a huge fan on the PSU now
[17:51] <iheartubuntu> ohh right :)
[17:51] <Gareth> MarkDude: pong
[17:51] <iheartubuntu> maybe tonite or tomorrow nite
[17:51] <pleia2> yeah that's good
[17:51]  * MarkDude just had a person ask about their prize from Scale
[17:51] <pleia2> I'll be around this evening after 6:30
[17:52] <MarkDude> They are German, so I am scared
[17:52]  * MarkDude kids
[17:52] <iheartubuntu> be careful... words just seem to come to me after a beer
[17:52] <akk> iheartubuntu: what does it want for "hostname" when I register?
[17:52] <pleia2> I'm terrible at scrabble
[17:52] <iheartubuntu> pyscrabble.califorest.com:9999
[17:52] <iheartubuntu> there should be two boxes that have opened
[17:53] <Gareth> MarkDude: which prize?
[17:53] <iheartubuntu> one a server listing and another the login page
[17:53] <akk> It's giving me 2 windows -- in one I can pick pyscrabble.califorest.com:9999 but in the other it wants username, passwd and hostname.
[17:53] <akk> Do I have to retype pyscrabble.califorest.com:9999 in the hostname field even though I've picked it in the first window?
[17:53] <iheartubuntu> if you have never registered, register on the server listing page in the pyscrabble.califorest.com:9999 server
[17:53]  * MarkDude is having him join channel
[17:53] <MarkDude> Or you can join #fedora-design :)
[17:53] <iheartubuntu> you have to click the register icon to register a name and pass
[17:54] <akk> Oh, I see, the login page is pointless until I click Register at which point it gives me yet a third window.
[17:54] <iheartubuntu> exactly
[17:54] <iheartubuntu> once you get past this part is works fine
[17:54] <akk> Okay, I'm in
[17:55] <iheartubuntu> so ive created a game
[17:55] <MarkDude> Well, he night be scared if this being Ubuntu channel - lol
[17:55] <akk> Should I "join game"?
[17:55] <iheartubuntu> and people can go into that game now
[17:55]  * akk does so
[17:55] <iheartubuntu> and when ready id click start
[17:55] <iheartubuntu> anyone else ready to risk their careers for a little scrabble?
[17:56] <akk> c'mon, some other people join us
[17:56] <akk> and meanwhile I'm going to get more coffee before we start
[17:57] <iheartubuntu> ok
[17:57] <iheartubuntu> me too
[17:58] <iheartubuntu> ok we have for scrabblers now!
[17:59] <iheartubuntu> come on philip... you can ditch class for some scrabble
[17:59] <iheartubuntu> markdude... tomatoes will be OK
[17:59] <MarkDude> What link for the game?
[18:00] <iheartubuntu> you have to install pyscrabble
[18:00] <iheartubuntu> its in the reps
[18:00] <iheartubuntu> ready?
[18:01] <akk> I'm ready (as much as I'm gonna be, anyway :)
[18:54] <iheartubuntu> that was a lot of fun
[18:54] <akk> It was!
[18:54] <nhaines> Who won?
[18:55] <akk> iheartubuntu won.
[18:55] <iheartubuntu> Ubuntu Gaming Night won!
[18:55] <akk> But the lead was trading off all through the game.
[18:55] <akk> So there was plenty of tension. :)
[18:55] <nhaines> It's not night?
[18:55] <iheartubuntu> yeah. hitting a long word and those colored squares is mighty helpful
[18:55] <iheartubuntu> we were testing the gameplay
[18:56] <akk> It worked well.
[18:57] <iheartubuntu> the built in dictionary is smart. my only wish is that it had offline play with just computer AI to play and learn on your own
[19:03] <iheartubuntu> although you can create a game and play as the only player, adding words.
[19:29]  * MarkDude is hella down with doing a gaming night
[19:29] <MarkDude> :)
[19:32] <iheartubuntu> according to wikipedia, scrabble is a 2-4 player game. not sure what pyscrabble allows since i can play the game online by myself.
[21:07] <philipballew> compiling a kernel confuses the crap out of me...
[21:52] <nhaines> Ubuntu 12.04 is now in beta. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta1
