| c_smith | is anyone here any good with the configuration of Conky? | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | I haven't configured conky in quite a while | 00:52 |
| c_smith | tgm4883, can you tell me what the recommended way to go about fixing a broken network display in Conky? currently that part is useless (shows no information) | 00:56 |
| c_smith | tgm4883, or is that beyond your ability? | 00:59 |
| tgm4883 | c_smith, is it in LUA? or is it running a command to get it? | 01:01 |
| c_smith | this is the scheme it seems to use: ${wireless_essid wlan0} | 01:02 |
| c_smith | it's got the wlan0 correct afaik. | 01:03 |
| tgm4883 | your wireless card shows up as wlan0? | 01:03 |
| tgm4883 | check ifconfig | 01:03 |
| c_smith | kk | 01:03 |
| c_smith | yep, that's correct. | 01:04 |
| c_smith | there's also lo and eth0, both of which are unused. | 01:04 |
| c_smith | wlan0 is what I intend to get shown. | 01:05 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 01:05 |
| tgm4883 | is it showing anything? | 01:05 |
| c_smith | Nothing | 01:07 |
| tgm4883 | If you run conky from the command line, is it printing anything that indicates what's wrong? | 01:07 |
| c_smith | IP is unknown, up/down speed is 0. all of which I know are incorrect. | 01:07 |
| c_smith | let me check. | 01:07 |
| c_smith | strange, I got another conky instance I thought I deleted, as I thought it failed, it works better than the previous one! XD | 01:08 |
| c_smith | Net speed works on this one. | 01:09 |
| c_smith | brb | 01:11 |
| * c_smith will be installing xubuntu on his desktop soon and installing the Xubuntu-desktop package on this pc. | 01:13 | |
| c_smith | tgm4883, care to see a podcast I participated in? | 01:17 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, you here? | 02:06 |
| c_smith | half an hour in, and nobody in the meeting. | 02:37 |
| c_smith | well, it looks like the meeting isn't happening. | 02:52 |
| nibalizer | c_smith: i'll meet iwth you | 02:54 |

| c_smith | and I intend to install xubuntu 12.04 too | 02:55 |

| tpdd | Hello | 04:37 |
| bkerensa | tppd: Just idling or you looking for help or info about the LoCo? :) | 04:38 |
| tpdd | Well just hanging out. I joined the loco awhile back and I'm on the list. Just looking at places to participate | 04:39 |
| tpdd | Not being around Portland I have not made it to any meetings | 04:39 |
| cy1 | tpdd: Where you located? | 04:42 |
| tpdd | Newport | 04:42 |
| cy1 | Woah, all the way down by the acquarium? | 04:43 |
| tpdd | Ya. It's not really all that far to Portland but the traffic is what makes it a long drive | 04:45 |
| cy1 | Pretty far to bicycle that's for sure. | 04:46 |
| bkerensa | tpdd: :) well if you happen to be in the area on the 29th we are having a release party for 12.04 | 04:46 |
| bkerensa | ./namebench.py -x | 04:47 |
| bkerensa | eck | 04:47 |
| bkerensa | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1609/detail/ <-- is the event url | 04:47 |
| bkerensa | there will be free food and beverage | 04:47 |
| tpdd | That sound fun. How big is your turnout usually | 04:48 |
| c_smith | hello | 04:52 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, are your connection issues still persisting? | 04:52 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: no | 05:46 |
| bkerensa | that was hours ago | 05:46 |
| bkerensa | tpdd: 25-30 | 05:46 |
| c_smith | ah, I see. | 05:46 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, I may be able to make it up to the Release Party IF I am able to hitch a ride with someone from Salem who is going, Taxi is out of the question (not enough money) and Salem buses aren't running that day. | 05:47 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, also, care to see an interesting podcast I was in? | 05:48 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: might ask about a ride on the mailing list... perhaps jvlb or someone | 05:48 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: sure | 05:48 |
| c_smith | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsazV3jXjw4&feature=g-all-esi&context=G25178daFAAAAAAAAGAA | 05:49 |

| goddard | do i need to sign anything? | 06:11 |
| c_smith | goddard, as in to the release party? | 06:28 |
| bkerensa | goddard: Although not required we are asking people to RSVP so we know how many people are coming for (Food/Beverage) and it also helps for when we do team reports to the LoCo Council | 06:31 |
| bkerensa | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1609/detail/ | 06:31 |

| c_smith | hello | 18:41 |
| bkerensa | Good Morning | 18:42 |
| c_smith | how goes it? | 18:42 |
| c_smith | getting ready to set No-IP up on my desktop, which will take a while since I have to start from scratch with Kubuntu since I messed something up previously. | 18:43 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, if I had to get a new GPU, which would you recommend, ATI or Nvidia? | 18:44 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Good... Just getting into the morning grind... Working on a new wordpress site for one of my childhood friends who now has a successful band :P he still has to pay though ;) | 18:44 |
| c_smith | nice. | 18:45 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: idk... I have a Intel GPU and I see zero difference in my experience but then again I dont use anything that requires a GPU | 18:45 |
| c_smith | I have a few games that my Intel GPU doesn't handle, but I'm not replacing that, in fact, I can't replace it, I'm replacing the majorly outdated GPU in my desktop (it must have come out in the XP days) | 18:46 |
| goddard | who uses Firefox over Chrome? | 19:11 |
| nathwill | yo | 19:13 |
| c_smith | I don't, | 19:20 |
| c_smith | and hey, nathwill | 19:20 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: fyi your name is in the release notes for 12.04 | 19:21 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 19:21 |

| bkerensa | nathwill: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/Credits/Developers | 19:21 |
| nathwill | that can only be a bad thing... | 19:21 |
| bkerensa | your famous and stuff | 19:21 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:21 |
| nathwill | pfft | 19:21 |
| nathwill | all of 5 people will see it | 19:21 |
| bkerensa | LOL | 19:21 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: I am sure far more then five people have seen it and many more will | 19:22 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 19:22 |
| nathwill | well then, i'm doomed | 19:22 |
| c_smith | rofl | 19:22 |
| nathwill | that's cool though | 19:23 |
| nathwill | i'm stoked on the 12.04 release. a buddy of mine i haven't seen in ages, and don't talk to about linux just randomly was running Ubuntu on his laptop when i saw him this weekend | 19:23 |
| * c_smith is enjoying Xubuntu 12.04 with GLX Dock and Conky | 19:24 | |
| nathwill | and my jaw just dropped | 19:24 |
| c_smith | who was it that gave the Bytesize bug workshop at the Global Jam? | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | :P | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | a Debian Wizard by the name is slangasek | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | name of* | 19:25 |
| c_smith | ah, I see. | 19:25 |
| slangasek | wouldn't that have been bdmurray's? | 19:25 |
| slangasek | mine wasn't about bitesized bugs, but about package anatomy, no? | 19:26 |
| c_smith | Ah, Bdmurray is who I'm trying to remember the name of. | 19:26 |
| bkerensa | oh | 19:26 |
| c_smith | the package anatomy was really useful, btw. | 19:26 |
| slangasek | good to hear :) | 19:26 |
| c_smith | and insightful as to the "mystical" nature of debian packages :P | 19:26 |
| c_smith | anywho, I got a chance to talk on Mumble to another Canonical employee, Allan Pope (hope I spelled that right) | 19:27 |
| sbeattie | Alan (only one l) | 19:28 |
| c_smith | gotcha. | 19:28 |
| c_smith | anywho, he had some useful info. | 19:28 |
| c_smith | the topic on the podcast at the time was about Precise Pangolin upgrades. | 19:29 |
| c_smith | aaaaand I screwed my desktop up just now. >.< | 19:30 |
| c_smith | laptop is safe, though. | 19:30 |
| bkerensa | sbeattie: or just popey :D | 19:31 |
| c_smith | I'm surprised at how similar Jono and popey's accents were. | 19:32 |
| c_smith | ofc, they are both British, so that shouldn't be a surprise. | 19:32 |
