[00:49] <c_smith> is anyone here any good with the configuration of Conky?
[00:52] <tgm4883> I haven't configured conky in quite a while
[00:56] <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)
[00:59] <c_smith> tgm4883, or is that beyond your ability?
[01:01] <tgm4883> c_smith, is it in LUA? or is it running a command to get it?
[01:02] <c_smith> this is the scheme it seems to use: ${wireless_essid wlan0}
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <c_smith> yep, that's correct.
[01:04] <c_smith> there's also lo and eth0, both of which are unused.
[01:05] <c_smith> wlan0 is what I intend to get shown.
[01:05] <tgm4883> ok
[01:05] <tgm4883> is it showing anything?
[01:07] <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.
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <c_smith> Net speed works on this one.
[01:11] <c_smith> brb
[01:13]  * c_smith will be installing xubuntu on his desktop soon and installing the Xubuntu-desktop package on this pc.
[01:17] <c_smith> tgm4883, care to see a podcast I participated in?
[02:06] <c_smith> bkerensa, you here?
[02:37] <c_smith> half an hour in, and nobody in the meeting.
[02:52] <c_smith> well, it looks like the meeting isn't happening.
[02:54] <nibalizer> c_smith: i'll meet iwth you
[02:54] <nibalizer> :)
[02:54] <c_smith> eh, I need to get started on some configurations, so I better go.
[02:55] <c_smith> and I intend to install xubuntu 12.04 too
[03:23] <bkerensa> Hello

[04:23] <tgm4883> bkerensa, sorry, couldn't resist
[04:23] <bkerensa> tgm4883: yeah :P
[04:24] <bkerensa> I typed it much too fast... Been really busy lately so lots of typos in my e-mails
[04:24] <bkerensa> tgm4883: got some pretty cool swag this time
[04:24] <tgm4883> aw, I didn't win the social giveaway
[04:24] <tgm4883> probably because I tried to cheat
[04:24] <bkerensa> no idea... its check stuff thats all I know
[04:24] <bkerensa> :P
[04:25] <tgm4883> yea, I said "oh yea, of course I did that"
[04:25] <bkerensa> bkero: Do I need to pickup shirts from you this week or will you drop them by?
[04:25] <tgm4883> for like 4 of them
[04:37] <bkerensa> hi tpdd
[04:37] <tpdd> Hello
[04:38] <bkerensa> tppd: Just idling or you looking for help or info about the LoCo? :)
[04:39] <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
[04:42] <cy1> tpdd: Where you located?
[04:42] <tpdd> Newport
[04:43] <cy1> Woah, all the way down by the acquarium?
[04:45] <tpdd> Ya.  It's not really all that far to Portland but the traffic is what makes it a long drive
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <tpdd> That sound fun.  How big is your turnout usually
[04:52] <c_smith> hello
[04:52] <c_smith> bkerensa, are your connection issues still persisting?
[05:46] <bkerensa> c_smith: no
[05:46] <bkerensa> that was hours ago
[05:46] <bkerensa> tpdd: 25-30
[05:46] <c_smith> ah, I see.
[05:47] <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.
[05:48] <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
[05:49] <c_smith> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsazV3jXjw4&feature=g-all-esi&context=G25178daFAAAAAAAAGAA
[05:49] <orebuntu_> c_smith's tiny URL is http://tinyurl.com/7a4yk97
[05:49] <c_smith> bkerensa, I sent JVLB an email, gonna wait to hear back to try others.
[05:55] <bkerensa> c_smith: I hope jvlb comes and hope you can make it
[05:57] <c_smith> yep, same here.
[06:11] <goddard> im gonna go
[06:11] <goddard> do i need to sign anything?
[06:28] <c_smith> goddard, as in to the release party?
[06:31] <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/
[08:44] <goddard> I tried to register but i got an error when trying ot login

[18:41] <c_smith> hello
[18:42] <bkerensa> Good Morning
[18:42] <c_smith> how goes it?
[18:43] <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.
[18:44] <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 ;)
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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)
[19:11] <goddard> who uses Firefox over Chrome?
[19:13] <nathwill> yo
[19:20] <c_smith> I don't,
[19:20] <c_smith> and hey, nathwill
[19:21] <bkerensa> nathwill: fyi your name is in the release notes for 12.04
[19:21] <bkerensa> ;)
[19:21] <nathwill> say whaaaaa?!
[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
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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
[19:24]  * c_smith is enjoying Xubuntu 12.04 with GLX Dock and Conky
[19:24] <nathwill> and my jaw just dropped
[19:25] <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?
[19:26] <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
[19:27] <c_smith> anywho, I got a chance to talk on Mumble to another Canonical employee, Allan Pope (hope I spelled that right)
[19:28] <sbeattie> Alan (only one l)
[19:28] <c_smith> gotcha.
[19:28] <c_smith> anywho, he had some useful info.
[19:29] <c_smith> the topic on the podcast at the time was about Precise Pangolin upgrades.
[19:30] <c_smith> aaaaand I screwed my desktop up just now. >.<
[19:30] <c_smith> laptop is safe, though.
[19:31] <bkerensa> sbeattie: or just popey :D
[19:32] <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.
[20:36] <c_smith> bkerensa, are you here, or out to lunch?
[20:37] <bkerensa> c_smith: I'm here but getting read to take lunch... Whats up
[20:39] <c_smith> ok, Just wanted to let you know I might just end up making it to the Release Party after all, JVLB intends to go and he said if he does he would be able to give me a ride up there.
[20:48] <bkerensa> ok good stuff
[22:01] <nathwill> *yawn*
[22:02] <nathwill> mondays, my goodness
[23:38] <bkerensa> lol
[23:42]  * c_smith is back from errands
