dholbachalright my friends - see you tomorrow!17:31
nhandlerI know a lot of you guys have played around with webcasts and screencasts and other similar things. Has anyone here played with webcamstudio at all?19:20
mhall119nhandler: no, what's that?19:21
nhandlermhall119: You can set up various input and ouptut sources. So I can have one input from my webcam, another showing my desktop, another showing a youtube video, some text on top, an irc channel, etc. It can then output to ustream, a file, or many other places19:22
nhandlerI couldn't get the prebuilt beta .deb files to work properly for me in Debian sid, but the alpha worked pretty well (other than the audio being a bit shaky probably due to me using my built in mic)19:22
nhandlerI was thinking that it might be nice being able to show your face, your screen, and an irc channel (i.e. #ubuntu-classroom-chat) and record to a file while streaming live19:23
nhandlerThe demo videos on the site are a bit outdated (it seems they change the interface/feature set a LOT between new releases), but it shows some of the features19:25
mhall119nhandler: sounds interesting, I wonder how that would interact with an on-air G+ hangout19:36
nhandlermhall119: In theory, it could replace it. It provides the same functionality plus more. Or, depending on what you are after, you could probably include the G+ hangout as an input source.20:01
bkerensanhandler: webcamstudio is cool... I was going to use it to do a weekly show once20:06
* popey shudders20:06
bkerensa:D20:06
popeymhall119, is it possible to install lenses in /opt, and unity find them?20:06
nhandlerpopey: Bad experience with it?20:08
popeynot really, but i put one in /usr/local and it wasnt found20:08
popeyasked didier and he implied they aren't found outside /usr/20:08
popeywhich means shipping lenses in via the ARB is hard20:08
popeybecause they mandate that stuff lives in /opt20:08
nhandlererr, by "it" I meant webcamstudio. Sorry for the confusion20:09
popeyoh20:09
popeynever found it particularly intuitive20:09
popeyand java20:09
nhandlerYeah. I have had a hard time getting it to work properly. Older versions complained about a module not loading properly. The newer one works, but is alpha and doesn't appear to have a lot of the old features20:10
mhall119popey: you have to install the .lens file into /usr/share/unity/lenses/<lensname>/<lensname>.lens20:14
mhall119and the .service file into /usr/share/dbus-1/services/20:15
popeywell that sucks20:15
mhall119everything else goes into /top/20:15
mhall119/opt/20:15
popeythat means i can't enter the app developer competition20:15
mhall119popey: the ARB has an exception explicitly to allow lenses to do this20:15
popeyO RLY?20:15
mhall119yes20:15
popey\o/20:15
* popey retracts his statements20:15
popey /clear20:15
mhall119so everything else goes into /opt/, and they'll let those 2 files go where they need to go20:15
popeythanks mhall11920:17

jonoshould have something online soon20:41
jonomhall119, could you add to your spec how we would get the GI data into the django db?20:41
imbrandonjono /me wants to use the json api from mhall119 to create a block for people to show their trophies off on their blog easily :)20:43
jonoimbrandon, we are building a Web service that will allow people to do that20:44
jonoso imbrandon if you can help write this, that would be *awesome*20:44
imbrandonnice, i seen the webservice but not that bit20:44
imbrandonand sure just point me in the direction and i'll dig in when i have time ( tween now and monday )20:45

popeymhall119, http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/04/how-to-create-a-wikipedia-unity-lens-for-ubuntu/ has anyone tested that recently?22:39
popeyI just went through it and I get no results (on quantal) when searching in the lens22:39
popeyWARN  2012-06-28 23:38:16 unity.glib.dbusproxy GLibDBusProxy.cpp:283 Calling method "Search" on object path: "/unity/singlet/lens/wikipedia" failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name unity.singlet.lens.wikipedia was not provided by any .service files22:39
popeyloads of those too22:40
mhall119popey: it was working for several people on Precise22:50
popeyheh22:50
popeymight have to test it on a precise install.. ta22:50
mhall119popey: do you have a .service file for it installed in /usr/share/dbus-1/services?22:50
popeydoesnt look like it22:51
popeysudo quickly install should have done that?22:51
popeygoing to sleep on it and try tomorrow22:53
popeythanks22:53
mhall119jono: I like those mockups, what do you use to make them?23:18
nhandlermhall119: Last time I asked, he said he uses Balsamiq (they are pretty supportive of people using it for open source work)23:27
