Cantideshould someone be tasked with running a bot that collects stats?17:56
nuvolariyeah, they can take our word for it :P we were quite active this year17:56
inetprosuperfly and myself tried something but it ended up not being so simple as expected17:57
mazalI think the most important one is the number of active members in the community17:57
inetproproblem is to find the time17:57
maiatodayIf the wiki page is pretty decent and a fair amount of us go to the  meeting we should be ok17:57
superflyI have something that is workable (And I'm working on at the moment)17:57
maiatodayAlso once I add the slide show it will help too17:57
nuvolariooh :> slides17:57
superflyit is not 100% accurate, but it should be good enough to give people a feel for how active the channel is on average17:57
maiatodayThat's fine17:58
inetprosuperfly: good news!17:58

inetprosuperfly: you are hosting?18:10
smileyeah, some design tweaks maybe :)18:10
mazalI had an idea for the website18:10
inetpromazal: an idea?18:11
mazalHow about a little "bio" area where members can just give their short history of how they started with ubuntu and their experiences etc18:11
inetpromazal: we can have that on the ubuntu wiki18:11
superflymazal: the problem with the web site is that no one has the time to maintain it.18:12
superflyinetpro: no, CLUG hosts it18:12
inetproahh18:12
* inetpro remembers now18:12
magespawnsuperfly maybe a team to do it?18:12

SmilyBorgI would start a lego user group but got too many things on my plate as it is18:14
magespawnsuperfly as long as the changes are not too hectic i should be able to manage it18:14
nuvolariCan we agree that this will be discussed in more detail?18:14
magespawnsuperfly in drupal?18:14
superflymagespawn: yes18:14
magespawnwould be a good learning curve18:14
superfly*IF* we continue with Drupal, we will also need to upgrade to D718:15
inetprobut we need more than just one person18:16
magespawnahh well i am fairly easy18:16
nuvolariok, we might need to move on if we wish to cover everything in time. We can add this to the following meeting's agenda too?18:16
CantideI have some experience with PHP18:16
CantideI may lend a hand when i have time18:16
inetprook superfly, do we agree to keep as is and try get more people involved?18:17
magespawn+118:17

MaazCurrent Topic: Ubuntu+1 status and feedback18:19
superflyinetpro or magespawn: are you going to run with that?18:19
inetprosuperfly: I will follow up again in the evenings, and will try help where I can18:20
* superfly has family to deal with now18:20
smilesuperfly: :(18:20
magespawnwith the website superfly?18:20
superflymagespawn: yes18:20
nuvolarii've seen some more complains this last couple of weeks on the mailing list on the latest ubuntu release18:20
* inetpro will discuss with magespawn and others and when superfly has time he will chime in18:21
magespawnsure i can commit sometime to it18:21
nuvolariI don't know how much of that is caused by user error though :P18:21
superflynuvolari: in most cases, user error I think18:21
superflyalso, people thinking that a reinstall will fix stuff when 99% of cases it won't18:21
nuvolariAs for 12.10, I'm still running 12.04 so I can't comment. However, I did upgrade my brother's netbook to have an ubuntu  dualboot with 12.1018:21
Cantidenuvolari, I had trouble and went back to 12.04; but then again, i did an upgrade and not a clean install, and on top of that i had some hardware trouble at the same time, so I can't make a fair judgement18:22
mazalI did use 12.10 and it was very buggy and very slow18:22
smilemazal: I have the same experience.18:22
nuvolariIn general it seems that we have mixed experiences, both great and less great18:23
Cantideall in all, i felt that webapps were not as useful as i thought they'd be, and there wasn't much else new there that would bring me back to 12.10 instead of just waiting for the next version18:23
* nlsthzn pops in and says, "alo"18:23
smileyeah.. I expected the alpha releases/beta releases to be buggy (they were)18:23
nuvolarihi nlsthzn 18:23
Kiloshi nlsthzn 18:23
smilebut the stable releases were still buggy18:23
smilewhich is a shame18:23
Cantidehey nlsthzn :)18:23
maiatodayMy web apps crash alot18:23
Kilostell maaz who you are nlsthzn 18:23
nlsthznah meeting still ongoing18:23
Kilosyip18:24
nlsthznMaaz: my name is Neil Oosthuizen18:24
Maaznlsthzn: One learns a new thing every day18:24
Kiloslol i am18:24
nuvolariwell, I guess you can't blame them that much, as the LTS versions will be around much longer now18:24
Cantidemy web apps used a lot of memory and weren't really helpful because i had to have the web pages open anyway -.-v18:24
inetpronlsthzn: please sign the register18:24
inetproai18:24
nlsthzndid I do it wrong again18:24
SmilyBorgthe llvmpipe thing has made a world of difference to me, but had a nasty issue in lightdm the other day that wouldnt let me change between windoww managers/desktop environments18:24
nuvolariI suspect they will not focus on it to have the releaces in between spotless18:24
Kilosnlsthzn, maaz i am 18:24
* inetpro 's connection is lagging18:24
nlsthznMaaz: I am Neil Oosthuizen18:24
Maaznlsthzn: Sure18:24
nlsthznthanks uncle Kilos 18:24
Kilosyw18:24
* nuvolari googles llvmpipe18:25
Cantidenuvolari, all releases should be spotless - what if it's a new users first experience with Ubuntu18:25
mazalI agree with Cantide 18:26
SmilyBorgtrue18:26
mazalWhat's the point of having a release every 6 months , but it feels like a beta18:26
nuvolariI guess you're right :-/18:26
tumbleweedwe aim to have all releases be high quality18:26
mazalThen rather release once a year a proper stable one18:26
tumbleweedLTS releases get special polish because they have to be supported for longer18:26
tumbleweedbut all releases should be fit for use18:27
magespawni usually stay on the lts18:27
mazalI feel they don't give themselves enough time on each release18:27
magespawnLTS18:27
nuvolariI'm one of the lucky ones, I did not have many issues lately18:27
Cantidei usually skip a release18:27
nuvolariok, time is chasing us :-/18:28
Cantidei had a lot of freezing on 12.10, but i'm not sure if that was caused by faulty hardware or not18:28
tumbleweedI don't think more time would help. More time spent on polish rather than features, wouldl, though18:28
Cantidetumbleweed, agreed18:28
Cantidenuvolari, yes :/18:28

Squirmso a client brought in a laptop today. It doesn't power off unless you hold down the off button. Ok, it turns off, but it turns itself back on. It's like the power option is set to 'always on', but it isn't. there is no such option in the BIOS and I've reset the BIOS to factory defaults. It stays off if you hold down the off button, or disconnect the battery and AC and connect them again. It's a Toshiba Satellite. I know this is a linux channel, 19:55
Squirmbut anyone had this problem before?19:55
magespawnno thats a good one Squirm19:55
magespawnwe also chat about other things in ##kilos, just to help keep this channel on topic19:56
Squirmand for the life of me I can't find anything on google. everyone talks about them not turning off or not turning on. this turns off and on perfectly. but as it turns off it turns back on19:56
magespawnnot a faulty switch?19:58
nuvolarioh come on :-/ I feel like throwing my laptop against a wall or something19:58
SquirmI thought it could be. but if I disconnect all power source and connect it back. it stays off. or if I hold down the power button it stays off19:59
nuvolariwhy can't flash be packaged like all the other apps?19:59
superflynuvolari: what do you need flash for?19:59
magespawnprocess of elimination Squirm19:59
Squirmnuvolari: apt-get install adobe-flashplugin20:00
Squirm?20:00
nuvolarier... how many times did you install flash Squirm ? :P20:01
nuvolariit downloads a .tar.gz file20:01
SquirmI never20:01
Squirmcame with mint20:01
Squirmmagespawn: yep20:01
nuvolarisuperfly: well, the sites that still have flash plugins here and there20:01
nuvolarithe nonsense is that every freaking time it downloads to a new tmpXYZ.gz file :-/20:02
magespawndepressing quite a few20:02
nuvolariI don't know how to intercept that download20:02
superflynuvolari: download the official tar.gz from their site?20:03
