[01:00] I'll be a bit late but I'll see you guys tonight at the thing. [01:27] kdub, the train to there is a joke. Its only possible if you take the train along the cost, but thats like 12 hours. [01:30] i went to thirstybear, no one was there, and they have no reservation [01:32] since no one seems to be on now, i'll try phoning grantbow [01:47] ok, found pleia2 in here [02:00] hi [02:02] Darn, the alternate installer doesn't work when dd-ed onto a USB stick. [02:05] ive never had good luck w/ alt and usb sticks [02:55] 12 people here now [02:56] 5 standing, 7 sitting [03:24] Weird -- in the pangolin alt installer, it gives you a choice to enable partners and extras repos [03:24] but no choice to enable regular main ubuntu software (from anything but security.ubuntu.com) [03:24] lol [03:34] * Darkwing peers in [03:36] 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? [04:06] Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. [04:08] quantal is a word? [04:09] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quantal [04:47] meh === bkerensa is now known as Tester === Tester is now known as TesterBlah123 === TesterBlah123 is now known as bkerensa [05:43] pleia2: How would you like 40 11.04 CD's and maybe 20-30 11.10's? [05:43] :D [05:44] Since we don't get CD's I am recycling the covers from old versions I have and repurposing :D [06:00] my schools dhcp servers seem to cut me off every so often and cant reconnect easily. [06:07] would that be a reason why my internet connection cuts off every hour or so [06:59] uhh I wrote a Juju charm in 22 minutes :P === jbermudes_ is now known as jbermudes [07:27] * MarkDude saw a Motley crue cover band tonight, all women - thye are called Cruella [07:28] hide the dalmatians [07:36] to register for uds, do i put "non-sponsored" for "capacity" or what? [07:39] DonkeyHotei: yeah I think so [07:39] "group/company representing" ? [07:40] what there? [07:41] bkerensa: ^ [07:41] Mmm [07:41] You are representing Ubuntu [07:41] unless you are attending for some other reason [07:41] ;p [07:42] DonkeyHotei: Do you contribute to any specific area of the community? [07:42] odd that that's still "non-sponsored" [07:42] and what do i put for travel info? it's non-optional [07:49] DonkeyHotei, you represent levity [07:49] Put today as arrival day [07:49] and put some day in the future as leaving, maybe a day after the Mayan calendar ends [07:49] i put the 7th [07:50] * MarkDude tried to put both local AND remote attending [07:50] Would not let me [07:50] you're local [07:53] * MarkDude reserves the right to act remote while there [07:58] So I just found out I'm going to be in the Bay Area the 3rd to the 8th. [08:05] late night for people talking here [09:54] * bkerensa prints tickets [15:25] i made a typo untarring a tarball on oneiric: [15:26] No command 'tax' found, did you mean: [15:26] Command 'ttx' from package 'fonttools' (universe) [15:26] Command 'fax' from package 'efax' (universe) [15:26] Command 'tex' from package 'texlive-binaries' (main) [15:26] Command 'tx' from package 'transifex-client' (universe) [15:26] Command 'vax' from package 'simh' (universe) [15:26] Command 'tar' from package 'tar' (main) [15:26] Command 'tac' from package 'coreutils' (main) [15:26] Command 'rax' from package 'radare-common' (universe) [15:26] Command 'pax' from package 'pax' (main) [15:26] Command 'stax' from package 'stax' (universe) [15:26] tax: command not found [15:52] 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 :) [16:10] 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? [16:48] Whats a good method for making a direct image of my laptop them putting that image on all my other omputers? [16:49] is there a simple way to do it? [16:49] i thought about clonezilla, but was unsure if that the best? [16:49] cp -ax will usually work: the first parts of http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/upgrading-without-risk.html [16:50] 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. [16:52] that seems script-able [16:52] maybe [16:53] * philipballew_ thanks akk [16:54] 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] I was thinking of throwing the image onto my server and try to send it from there maybe. Not sure. [16:55] 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] So many ideas [16:56] 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. [16:57] 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] what class are you taking? [16:59] sending ubuntu to south africa, how ironic... [17:03] DonkeyHotei, thats what I thought... but hey, never hurts [17:04] 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] there used to be a ppa for it [17:04] it went unmaintained [17:05] For arduino? I think there's a version in the repos, but it's old. [17:05] But it's easy to run the tarball on ubuntu. Not so easy on windows. [17:05] I need to buy a new arduino. I was running a picaxe but that was not meeting my needs [17:06] i know it's easy to run the tarball, but a maintained ppa for auto updates was nice [17:12] 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. [17:13] worth it [17:15] Ugh, kernel panic trying to boot off the usb stick. [17:22] have you tried turning it on off and on again? [17:30] yeah [17:30] Might be an initrd problem -- the initrd was generated on a different machine from the target machine. [17:31] 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. [17:43] Hmm, maybe this usb stick is bad. [17:53] 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. [17:54] 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. [18:00] Nobody uses ubuntu forums with firefox, I guess? Or you have to use a separate login for forums, can't use launchpad? [18:06] 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. [18:07] If so, they should get rid of the link that says "Sign in using your Launchpad ID". [18:07] In the upper right just under the search box. [18:17] 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. [18:20] http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/27/nyregion/at-92-movie-bootlegger-is-soldiers-hero.html?_r=2 [18:20] Old people are awesome! [18:28] 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] this is a very hard week so I have not been able to get to it. I apologize [18:42] pleia2: Was the California release party fun? Lots of people? [18:42] I saw a Pangolin partying [18:42] we had a plastic pangolin [18:43] 15-ish people, total [18:44] I partied alone in my room last night. Should I have put that as a loco event/ [18:45] muy loco [18:50] philipballew_: no problem :) thanks for doing this [18:50] bkerensa: was fun, I put photos up here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/sets/72157629548073368/ [18:51] 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] we were there for 3 hours, so people sort of came and went [18:51] :D [18:52] 12 people were there pretty much the whole time [18:52] 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 [18:53] * bkerensa hopes we have enough beer/soda/pizza [18:54] glad i didn't end up in any of the pics [18:57] what are those potatoes ? [18:57] yep [18:58] they were good, too [18:58] but the empanadas were even better [18:58] ahh [18:59] * bkerensa desires Taqueria Cancun Super Burritos so bad [18:59] 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] =o [19:02] bkerensa, yeah. for the sd ubuntu hours only i rsvp, but we have 8 people often [19:03] they just dont care to rsvp [19:03] * kdub included last time :-/ [19:03] philipballew: our salem ubuntu hours have on average 3-4 but its not really a tech city :) [19:03] Our last Portland Ubuntu Hour had 25 [19:03] :D [19:04] and were going to start shifting to two a month one on the East Side and one on the West Side [19:07] bkerensa, your really organized [19:07] philipballew: yeah kind of but this is my last cycle involved in leading our LoCo I think :) [19:08] * bkerensa had planned to step down before the end of the cycle but things didn't work out [19:09] who takes over? [19:11] 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 [19:12] you need to find a jedi apprentice [19:12] 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 [19:17] motu sounds fun [21:51] Hi all [21:52] anyone willing to help a fresh ubuntu noob with a dual display problem ? [21:55] Hi again....anyone willing to solve a noob's problem here.....concerning dual screen [21:56] anyone live here....maybe a better question? [21:57] Julius__: I think a of us are at work :) but you can ask your question, if folks are lurking they might know [21:57] thanx for responding [21:58] (I have only ever had one monitor, so I'm afraid I can't help) [21:59] Ok thank you...........Iḿ in Holland country is asleep...will check the UK...1 hour difference [21:59] maybe try #ubuntu? [22:00] tried it all............works like a charm under Windows, must be something small....but Iḿ all new in Ubuntu [22:00] Looks good but it's not the same [22:01] have a great day [23:59] I don't think they understood that you were referring to the #ubuntu IRC channel.
