[06:58] <Kilos> morning superfly and others
[06:59] <Kilos> hiya maiatoday 
[06:59] <maiatoday> hi Kilos
[07:17] <sakhi> morning
[07:17] <Kilos> hi sakhi 
[07:25] <inetpro> good mornings
[07:25] <Kilos> hi inetpro 
[07:39] <Kilos> bbl
[10:13] <kodez> good day everyone.
[10:13] <kodez> where can i learn about programming the log in screen?
[10:14] <confluency> kodez: in which Ubuntu version?
[10:15] <inetpro> kodez: download the source code
[10:15] <kodez> i am using ubuntu 11.10 Beta version but will be changing to Ubuntu 12.04 in May
[10:15] <confluency> kodez: Ubuntu used to use GDM for the login screen, but now it uses LightDM.
[10:16] <confluency> So I would suggest googling for that and whatever you want to change.
[10:17] <inetpro> kodez: what is it that you would like to change?
[10:18] <confluency> kodez: for an overview, maybe read this page on the Arch Linux wiki -- it's usually an excellent resource for all kinds of tweaks.  Just bear in mind that it's a different Linux flavour. :)  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM
[11:59] <kbmonkey> hi geeks
[13:05] <bakuman> sies
[13:16] <magespawn> Afternoon all
[13:38] <kbmonkey> hi geeks
[13:39] <kbmonkey> nice .py story you have there magespawn ;)
[13:40] <magespawn> Hi kbmonkey. The one from last night?
[13:40] <kbmonkey> yes
[13:41] <kbmonkey> hi locodir-user 
[13:41] <magespawn> Ty, but I cannot take credit for the idea just for the code.
[13:45] <kbmonkey> I could offer you some tips
[13:47] <kbmonkey> always treat print() as a function, ie call it with braces: print('story') and not: print 'story'
[13:47] <kbmonkey> that syntax is going away in the future
[13:50] <magespawn> Ty
[13:50] <magespawn> Any tips are good.
[13:51] <magespawn> Superfly told me about pep8
[13:52] <kbmonkey> yes the PEP is good :)
[13:53] <magespawn> I think the book will get into functions I think in chapter 6
[13:53] <kbmonkey> only chap 6? o_O that is a long wait :p
[13:55] <kbmonkey> print('hello, my name is %s. I am a %s' % ('Rover', 'dog'))
[13:55] <kbmonkey> ^ how to put values into strings
[13:56] <Kerbero> you forgot a ;
[13:56] <Kerbero> :P
[13:56] <kbmonkey> ha ha ha
[13:58] <magespawn> Got to go now see you guys later.
[13:58] <bakuman> which language?
[13:59] <magespawn> Python
[13:59]  * bakuman frowns at Kerbero's mistake
[14:00] <Kerbero> lol ok
[14:01] <Kerbero> i assumed it was C
[14:01] <Kerbero> as i just connected to the bouncer and saw the one line
[14:01] <bakuman> Java, C etc does not have the % but a comma, and not a tuple
[14:01] <Kerbero> true
[14:01] <Kerbero> clearly my attention is elsewhere atm
[14:02] <kbmonkey> she sells C shells at the sea shore
[14:02] <bakuman> code to add a ubuntu precise countdown banner:
[14:02] <bakuman> <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/"><img src="http://www.ubuntu.com/countdown/banner3.png" border="0" width="180" height="150" alt="The next version of Ubuntu is coming soon"></a>
[14:02] <Kerbero> awesome
[14:02] <Kerbero> thanx bakuman 
[14:02] <bakuman> quick and easy and clean
[14:02]  * Kerbero ads it imemdiately
[14:02] <Kerbero> wanted to do that a month ago
[14:02] <Kerbero> but it was still the old one
[14:04] <bakuman> there are three different one to choose from, if you would like another look: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/countdown
[14:04] <Kerbero> i'm using the same one as previously
[14:04] <Kerbero> you added the uncommented html again
[14:05] <Kerbero> option 4 is ugly
[14:05] <Kerbero> i should change then
[14:19] <maiatoday> has anybody had experience with laptops that use optimus technology
[14:20] <Kerbero> hmm
[14:20] <maiatoday> the pick a different graphics card to optimise battery usage stuff
[14:20] <Kerbero> koiosify had a little the past few days
[14:20] <maiatoday> and the bumblebee project
[14:20] <Kerbero> tonberry had a bit too
[14:20] <Kerbero> but with the older pre-optimus one
[14:20] <maiatoday> I wanna buy a laptop and just wanted to get a feel for how hectic this is
[14:20] <Kerbero> basically: don't
[14:20] <Kerbero> ask koiosify 
[14:21] <maiatoday> yeah that's what people say but also there are reports that bumblebee works well
[14:21] <Kerbero> what i hear was that it works good, until you reboot
[14:21] <Kerbero> then graphics are broken
[14:21] <maiatoday> oops
[14:22] <maiatoday> bleargh maybe if I do that I'll have to keep a windows partition for the games and then run ubuntu on the intel graphics card only, if it is even possible
[14:50] <inetpro> hmm...
[14:51] <inetpro> if only I could put that countdown banner into my wiki page as simply as that
[14:51] <bakuman> why cant you?
[14:51] <Kerbero> yeah good question
[14:51] <inetpro> images need to be uploaded in the wiki
[14:52] <inetpro> no inline linking allowed
[14:52] <Kerbero> write a cronned script to to that
[14:58] <inetpro> I see however that it can be done, see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages
[15:18] <inetpro> ahh... easy if you whitelist ubuntu.com with $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom
[15:20] <inetpro> now I can simply add the image on my wiki page with
[15:20] <inetpro> [http://www.ubuntu.com/ http://www.ubuntu.com/countdown/banner3.png]
