| philipballew | kdub, the train to there is a joke. Its only possible if you take the train along the cost, but thats like 12 hours. | 01:27 |
| Faqtotum | i went to thirstybear, no one was there, and they have no reservation | 01:30 |
| Faqtotum | since no one seems to be on now, i'll try phoning grantbow | 01:32 |
| Faqtotum | ok, found pleia2 in here | 01:47 |
| Faqtotum | hi | 02:00 |
| akk | Darn, the alternate installer doesn't work when dd-ed onto a USB stick. | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | ive never had good luck w/ alt and usb sticks | 02:05 |
| Faqtotum | 12 people here now | 02:55 |
| Faqtotum | 5 standing, 7 sitting | 02:56 |
| akk | Weird -- in the pangolin alt installer, it gives you a choice to enable partners and extras repos | 03:24 |
| akk | but no choice to enable regular main ubuntu software (from anything but security.ubuntu.com) | 03:24 |
| Faqtotum | lol | 03:24 |
| * Darkwing peers in | 03:34 | |
| Darkwing | Anyone have an expresscard ieee that they would be willing to part with at a good price or, trade for a few 2.5" Laptop drives including a 32GB SSD? | 03:36 |
| Darkwing | Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. | 04:06 |
| Faqtotum | quantal is a word? | 04:08 |
| Darkwing | http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quantal | 04:09 |
| Faqtotum | meh | 04:47 |

| bkerensa | pleia2: How would you like 40 11.04 CD's and maybe 20-30 11.10's? | 05:43 |
| bkerensa | :D | 05:43 |
| bkerensa | Since we don't get CD's I am recycling the covers from old versions I have and repurposing :D | 05:44 |
| philipballew_ | my schools dhcp servers seem to cut me off every so often and cant reconnect easily. | 06:00 |
| philipballew_ | would that be a reason why my internet connection cuts off every hour or so | 06:07 |
| bkerensa | uhh I wrote a Juju charm in 22 minutes :P | 06:59 |

| * MarkDude saw a Motley crue cover band tonight, all women - thye are called Cruella | 07:27 | |
| DonkeyHotei | hide the dalmatians | 07:28 |
| DonkeyHotei | to register for uds, do i put "non-sponsored" for "capacity" or what? | 07:36 |
| bkerensa | DonkeyHotei: yeah I think so | 07:39 |
| DonkeyHotei | "group/company representing" ? | 07:39 |
| DonkeyHotei | what there? | 07:40 |
| DonkeyHotei | bkerensa: ^ | 07:41 |
| bkerensa | Mmm | 07:41 |
| bkerensa | You are representing Ubuntu | 07:41 |
| bkerensa | unless you are attending for some other reason | 07:41 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 07:41 |
| bkerensa | DonkeyHotei: Do you contribute to any specific area of the community? | 07:42 |
| DonkeyHotei | odd that that's still "non-sponsored" | 07:42 |
| DonkeyHotei | and what do i put for travel info? it's non-optional | 07:42 |
| MarkDude | DonkeyHotei, you represent levity | 07:49 |
| MarkDude | Put today as arrival day | 07:49 |
| MarkDude | and put some day in the future as leaving, maybe a day after the Mayan calendar ends | 07:49 |
| DonkeyHotei | i put the 7th | 07:49 |
| * MarkDude tried to put both local AND remote attending | 07:50 | |
| MarkDude | Would not let me | 07:50 |
| DonkeyHotei | you're local | 07:50 |
| * MarkDude reserves the right to act remote while there | 07:53 | |
| dax | So I just found out I'm going to be in the Bay Area the 3rd to the 8th. | 07:58 |
| philipballew | late night for people talking here | 08:05 |
| * bkerensa prints tickets | 09:54 | |
| DonkeyHotei | i made a typo untarring a tarball on oneiric: | 15:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | No command 'tax' found, did you mean: | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'ttx' from package 'fonttools' (universe) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'fax' from package 'efax' (universe) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'tex' from package 'texlive-binaries' (main) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'tx' from package 'transifex-client' (universe) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'vax' from package 'simh' (universe) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'tar' from package 'tar' (main) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'tac' from package 'coreutils' (main) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'rax' from package 'radare-common' (universe) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'pax' from package 'pax' (main) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | Command 'stax' from package 'stax' (universe) | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | tax: command not found | 15:26 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: oh no, I make sure I don't have left overs of CDs from old releases at the end of a cycle, I have no space for them :) | 15:52 |
| DonkeyHotei | dax: someone mentioned last night that you're at sac state now, so why didn't i see you at the ubuntu hour that philipballew used to run? | 16:10 |
| philipballew_ | Whats a good method for making a direct image of my laptop them putting that image on all my other omputers? | 16:48 |
| philipballew_ | is there a simple way to do it? | 16:49 |
| philipballew_ | i thought about clonezilla, but was unsure if that the best? | 16:49 |
| akk | cp -ax will usually work: the first parts of http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/upgrading-without-risk.html | 16:49 |
| akk | It does require some manual steps. If you can access your root filesystem while it's unmounted (while you're not actually running), that's safer. | 16:50 |
| philipballew_ | that seems script-able | 16:52 |
| philipballew_ | maybe | 16:52 |
| * philipballew_ thanks akk | 16:53 | |
| akk | Once you have one copy that's not mounted and that uses the right root device, like /dev/sda2 or whatever, doing more copies is super easy. | 16:54 |
| philipballew_ | I was thinking of throwing the image onto my server and try to send it from there maybe. Not sure. | 16:54 |
| akk | You could have a script to fix things like the hostname, and disk UUIDs if you prefer to use those instead of /dev/sdNN | 16:55 |
| philipballew_ | So many ideas | 16:55 |
| akk | I'm in the process of making a bunch of little pangolins on USB sticks that I can use for a class ... will probably use cp -ax or rsync -a for them once I get one up and working. | 16:56 |
| philipballew_ | I was thinking of giving the images I make to my work, There trying to use ubuntu to send to people in South Africa | 16:57 |
| philipballew_ | what class are you taking? | 16:57 |
| DonkeyHotei | sending ubuntu to south africa, how ironic... | 16:59 |
| philipballew_ | DonkeyHotei, thats what I thought... but hey, never hurts | 17:03 |
| akk | philipballew_: Teaching an arduino class. The arduino software turns out to be difficult to install on windows, so I'm hoping I can boot their lab machines into ubuntu. | 17:04 |
| DonkeyHotei | there used to be a ppa for it | 17:04 |
| DonkeyHotei | it went unmaintained | 17:04 |
| akk | For arduino? I think there's a version in the repos, but it's old. | 17:05 |
| akk | But it's easy to run the tarball on ubuntu. Not so easy on windows. | 17:05 |
| philipballew_ | I need to buy a new arduino. I was running a picaxe but that was not meeting my needs | 17:05 |
| DonkeyHotei | i know it's easy to run the tarball, but a maintained ppa for auto updates was nice | 17:06 |
| philipballew_ | ppa's are nice untill you either want to remove them or update ubuntu and have the system remove the ppa and you have to re enable it. | 17:12 |
| DonkeyHotei | worth it | 17:13 |
| akk | Ugh, kernel panic trying to boot off the usb stick. | 17:15 |
| philipballew_ | have you tried turning it on off and on again? | 17:22 |
| akk | yeah | 17:30 |
| akk | Might be an initrd problem -- the initrd was generated on a different machine from the target machine. | 17:30 |
| akk | I'm not sure how to get a generic initrd that works everywhere ... I tried the one I made on this machine, where I said yes, include all drivers not just from this machine. | 17:31 |
| akk | Hmm, maybe this usb stick is bad. | 17:43 |
| akk | When I try to log in to ubuntu forums using my launchpad id, I get a firefox warning about a suspicious cross-site scripting attempt. | 17:53 |
| akk | How do I whitelist it? I tried going to Options and adding ^https://login.launchpad.net/+openid (the url that showed up in the console) but that didn't make it happy. | 17:54 |
| akk | Nobody uses ubuntu forums with firefox, I guess? Or you have to use a separate login for forums, can't use launchpad? | 18:00 |
| philipballew_ | akk, I dont think uf is hooked up with the single sigh on yet. Maybe I am wrong, but I think thats a feature coming soon. | 18:06 |
| akk | If so, they should get rid of the link that says "Sign in using your Launchpad ID". | 18:07 |
| akk | In the upper right just under the search box. | 18:07 |
| philipballew_ | akk, I think there currently or soon will redoo the entire interface to look more like ubuntu 10.04 plus and not the brown theme before 10.04. or at least that what i herd. Have you tried askubuntu? I hear its better these days. | 18:17 |
| philipballew_ | http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/27/nyregion/at-92-movie-bootlegger-is-soldiers-hero.html?_r=2 | 18:20 |
| philipballew_ | Old people are awesome! | 18:20 |
| philipballew_ | pleia2, I want to let you know I was going to do post meeting logs tonight/early morning stuurday. so dont think I forgot | 18:28 |
| philipballew_ | this is a very hard week so I have not been able to get to it. I apologize | 18:28 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: Was the California release party fun? Lots of people? | 18:42 |
| bkerensa | I saw a Pangolin partying | 18:42 |
| DonkeyHotei | we had a plastic pangolin | 18:42 |
| DonkeyHotei | 15-ish people, total | 18:43 |
| philipballew_ | I partied alone in my room last night. Should I have put that as a loco event/ | 18:44 |
| DonkeyHotei | muy loco | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | philipballew_: no problem :) thanks for doing this | 18:50 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: was fun, I put photos up here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/sets/72157629548073368/ | 18:50 |
| pleia2 | as DonkeyHotei said the peak was about 15 people, but counting folks who just dropped in for a few minutes I'd say it ended up being around 20 in all | 18:51 |
| pleia2 | we were there for 3 hours, so people sort of came and went | 18:51 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:51 |
| DonkeyHotei | 12 people were there pretty much the whole time | 18:52 |
| bkerensa | cool we are anticipating about 55 attendees (We have 33 Yes + 9 Maybe) although we have people who refuse to RSVP for all events for "anonymity" purposes I guess and then we have also had some who just ran into LTP issues | 18:52 |
| * bkerensa hopes we have enough beer/soda/pizza | 18:53 | |
| DonkeyHotei | glad i didn't end up in any of the pics | 18:54 |
| bkerensa | what are those potatoes ? | 18:57 |
| DonkeyHotei | yep | 18:57 |
| DonkeyHotei | they were good, too | 18:58 |
| DonkeyHotei | but the empanadas were even better | 18:58 |
| bkerensa | ahh | 18:58 |
| * bkerensa desires Taqueria Cancun Super Burritos so bad | 18:59 | |
| DonkeyHotei | there was a plate of three empanadas. i had one, wiretapp1d had another, and the third stayed on the plate even when they took the plate away | 18:59 |
| bkerensa | =o | 18:59 |
| philipballew_ | bkerensa, yeah. for the sd ubuntu hours only i rsvp, but we have 8 people often | 19:02 |
| philipballew_ | they just dont care to rsvp | 19:03 |
| * kdub included last time :-/ | 19:03 | |
| bkerensa | philipballew: our salem ubuntu hours have on average 3-4 but its not really a tech city :) | 19:03 |
| bkerensa | Our last Portland Ubuntu Hour had 25 | 19:03 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:03 |
| bkerensa | and were going to start shifting to two a month one on the East Side and one on the West Side | 19:04 |
| philipballew_ | bkerensa, your really organized | 19:07 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: yeah kind of but this is my last cycle involved in leading our LoCo I think :) | 19:07 |
| * bkerensa had planned to step down before the end of the cycle but things didn't work out | 19:08 | |
| philipballew_ | who takes over? | 19:09 |
| bkerensa | philipballew: That is a good question.... I'm hoping Nathan Williams will take the role and if he needs help I can asst him but if not there are other people I am confident can do it | 19:11 |
| * bkerensa wont step down until all that is lined up | 19:11 | |
| philipballew_ | you need to find a jedi apprentice | 19:12 |
| bkerensa | But in Q I am going to be doing a intense amount of doc work and after Q cycle I plan to apply to be a MOTU | 19:12 |
| philipballew_ | motu sounds fun | 19:17 |
