[00:29] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: it'd be nice to bring home a nice pile of toys, but I doubt I'll be able to :)
[00:31] <ibeardslee> Cathy has mentioned that ZaEarl will be over at some stage and that she'll be off and then back as well
[00:31] <ibeardslee> opportunity there to sneak things through
[00:34] <ajmitch> yeah, but I'm in the US this week & have the chance :)
[00:35] <ibeardslee> heh yeah .. especially if you get to use it and that means you aren't actually importing it
[00:36] <ajmitch> yep
[08:27] <brendonjt> good evening all
[08:37] <brendonjt> is there anyone here?
[08:39] <Veritay> sort of, brendonjt
[08:39] <brendonjt> cool hey is there any gorups for ubuntu  for people using ppc based computers?
[08:40] <brendonjt> opps groups
[08:40] <Veritay> um, i have no idea, i'm sorry
[08:41] <brendonjt> ok as i am using ubuntu 10.04 on a Imac g5 powerpc and it runs like a charm was just wondering if anyone here knew if there was a group or the likes in the ubuntu community for it
[08:42] <brendonjt> I have started my own project on wordpress for linux on ppc
[08:45] <kcj> brendonjt, There is #ubuntu-powerpc
[08:47] <brendonjt> kcj, thankyou for that
[08:47] <kcj> You're welcome.
[08:48] <Atamira> mmm..on a ppc?
[08:48] <Atamira> sounds intriguing
[08:48] <brendonjt> no worries, it is great to be back part of the a team again lol as much as i liked mac osx it didn't give me the freedom that linux does
[08:48] <brendonjt> especially ubuntu
[08:48] <brendonjt> Atamira, yip and works like a dream
[08:50] <brendonjt> under mac os x on a powerpc you could only get firefox up to 3.x then it was not supported install ubuntu on powerpc and get the latest firefox go figure
[08:50] <Atamira> i switched to chrome cause firefox tho it works nicely, has too much crap on it for me
[08:51] <brendonjt> Atamira, sweet can't get that on ppc, just a silly question though in which version of ubuntu did the new fancy gui come in i cant remember the name of it now it is the default desktop
[08:51] <brendonjt> in the latest release
[08:52] <brendonjt> opps my bad unity
[08:55] <Atamira> unity yeah, came out in 11.04?
[08:55] <Atamira> tho you could take it off easily
[08:55] <Atamira> now its part of 12.04LTS version
[08:55] <Atamira> and its kinda ok
[08:58] <brendonjt> ok as my computer didn't like unity it just had a white screen in the middle of it and didn't display any icons so went to 10.04
[08:58] <Atamira> yeah, my older machines are the same
[08:58] <Atamira> reading the forum is a known feature that it wont run on the older hardware
[08:59] <brendonjt> so after 10.04 it went to 10.10 then 11.04
[08:59] <Atamira> 10.10 was ok
[08:59] <Atamira> 11.04 was a problem and i had to go back to 10.10
[09:00] <Atamira> now ive skipped right up to 12.04 from KDE 11.04
[09:00] <brendonjt> ok silly question as i havent done this in a long time with the alternative cd image how do i upgrade
[09:03] <Atamira> heh, i burned a CD and it upgraded itself from it
[09:04] <brendonjt> ok burn the image when it comes it wants to add it to the repository says yes then just apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:07] <Atamira> mmm, that wasnt how i did it
[09:07] <Atamira> i booted from the CD. the option came up to upgrade..so i upgraded from the CD
[09:07] <Atamira> didnt take as long as a full install
[09:08] <Atamira> rebooting is an issue for a couple of reboots cause it doesnt power all the way down and hangs
[09:08] <Atamira> so i forced it to shutdown ..and it righted itself
[09:08] <Atamira> eventually
[09:08] <brendonjt> ah ok as i said haven't done that for a long time lol, forced shutdown haven't down that in a while either lol
[09:11] <Atamira> heh. its worth while only when you need it
[09:12] <brendonjt> ok dumb question how to do a forced shutdown it that turn the power off then back on ??
[09:13] <Atamira> hold down your on/off switch . it will force itself to shut down
[09:13] <Atamira> same as you would do on a windows machine
[09:13] <Atamira> works for me
[09:13] <brendonjt> ah ok thought as much
[09:16] <brendonjt> was looking for ibeardslee thought he might be on was wanting some ubuntu stickers
[09:16] <kcj> He has them?
[09:17] <Atamira> i have some older stickers
[09:17] <Atamira> i think
[09:17] <Atamira> at oen part i stuck them on my old car
[09:18] <brendonjt> https://www.system76.com/community/stickers/ sorry if i did wrong posting this link

[09:22] <kcj> I've actually sent away for those "powered by Ubuntu" sticker years ago.
[09:22] <kcj> I got no response though.
[09:22] <Atamira> i got mine when i got the free discs
[09:22] <brendonjt> yeah same was many years ago
[09:22] <Atamira> now i just download the discs myself
[09:23] <brendonjt> Atamira, what discs are they
[09:23] <Atamira> the ubuntu discs, when they were still sending them out
[09:23] <kcj> I love those things.
[09:23] <kcj> Part of me wants a complete collection.
[09:24] <Atamira> my bandwidth wasnt the best when i first got ubuntu
[09:24] <Atamira> so it was easier for me to use shipit
[09:24] <Atamira> my original first version was a developers copy
[09:24] <Atamira> before the official release..i still have that disc too
[09:25] <Atamira> ran like a dream..til i 'upgraded' to the released version
[09:25] <brendonjt> my first version of ubuntu was a dvd and when you booted it you typed live for the live version or install to install it
[09:26] <Atamira> lol my first version didnt have a dvd
[09:26] <Atamira> i didnt upgrade that til much later
[09:27] <brendonjt> wow memory's as just goes to show how far ubuntu has came over the years
[09:28] <Atamira> yep, most definitely
[09:30] <brendonjt> the shipit project was awesome
