Torikun | I am almos done installing Ubuntu on N7 | 18:12 |
---|---|---|
Torikun | I might actually use this tablet now lol | 18:12 |
Torikun | any bad issues to expect? | 18:12 |
nhaines | There's no touch UI. | 18:20 |
Torikun | huh | 18:20 |
Torikun | it just booted for the first time and teh screen all jacked up | 18:20 |
nhaines | Make that two issues then. | 18:20 |
Torikun | touch screen working | 18:20 |
raevol | down to one again | 18:21 |
nhaines | It works, there's just no touch-optimized UI. | 18:21 |
raevol | one and a half | 18:21 |
Torikun | oh | 18:21 |
nhaines | Run updates. Hopefully they fixed something. :) | 18:21 |
Torikun | you dont run it anymore? | 18:21 |
nhaines | I don't run Ubuntu on a tablet. Because there's no touch UI. | 18:22 |
nhaines | If I wanted to be furious at an user interface I could install Windows 8. :) | 18:22 |
Torikun | lolol | 18:22 |
nhaines | (Which is actually awesome on a touchscreen.) | 18:22 |
Torikun | Desktop just loaded! | 18:28 |
Torikun | everything looks ood | 18:28 |
akk | This is sounding like a seriously slow boot. | 18:28 |
Torikun | lol | 18:29 |
Torikun | wifi suspends when screen is off =( | 18:30 |
nhaines | You're probably not surfing the interblags when the screen's off anyway. | 18:34 |
Torikun | it's pretty neat hving unity on the tablet | 18:34 |
Torikun | keyboard is much better | 18:34 |
Torikun | than android | 18:35 |
pleia2 | Torikun: 12.10 or 13.04? | 18:35 |
Torikun | looks liek 13.04 | 18:35 |
pleia2 | the point of the tablet version isn't end user use :) it's a developer version so they can make improvements to the UI | 18:35 |
Torikun | lol | 18:36 |
pleia2 | I think they're shooting for usable-by-muggles for 14.04 | 18:36 |
Torikun | oh | 18:36 |
Torikun | what version do you ahve installed pleia2 | 18:36 |
pleia2 | I don't | 18:36 |
pleia2 | played with them at UDS a couple months back though | 18:36 |
Torikun | o | 18:36 |
nhaines | Unity being focused on touch-screens was a slander invented by people who didn't like it in 11.04, and it hasn't become less untrue since. | 18:37 |
pleia2 | (I don't have a tablet of any kind) | 18:37 |
nhaines | pleia2: I got to play with a Nexus 7 yesterday. It was nice. :) | 18:37 |
pleia2 | nhaines: but so small! if I do make the tablet plunge it'll probably be the 10 | 18:37 |
Torikun | Tablets are over rated | 18:37 |
Torikun | I would be happier with a macbook air lol | 18:38 |
nhaines | pleia2: the 10's probably the way to go. As nice as the 7 inch was, the 10 must be luxurious. | 18:38 |
pleia2 | but really I'm quite happy with phone+netbook for on the go stuff still | 18:38 |
nhaines | pleia2: me too. But the idea of Ubuntu everywhere makes me happy. I love Android on my phone but I'm not convinced tablet-wise. | 18:38 |
pleia2 | I can't do on screen keyboards and most of my work and fun needs a keyboard | 18:38 |
pleia2 | so I could get a tablet and carry a keyboard and... well at that point I have a netbook again | 18:38 |
Torikun | you need a macbook air | 18:39 |
Torikun | lol | 18:39 |
pleia2 | I really don't | 18:39 |
Torikun | problem solved | 18:39 |
pleia2 | my ultrabook is similar to the macbook air, but has a useful operating system on it | 18:39 |
pleia2 | but it's too big to put in my purse (my netbook fits) | 18:39 |
Torikun | ajh | 18:39 |
nhaines | pleia2: onscreen keyboards make me want to punch a kitten. The Android 4.2 keyboard is a nice alternative to Swype however! | 18:40 |
Torikun | yeah | 18:40 |
Torikun | word | 18:40 |
pleia2 | nhaines: I tried the swypey keyboards, do not grok | 18:40 |
nhaines | pleia2: it's like touch typing with your thumb. :) | 18:40 |
pleia2 | I just tether to my netbook when I need to type more than a sentence :) | 18:40 |
Torikun | lol | 18:40 |
pleia2 | or say "they can wait until I get home" | 18:41 |
Torikun | lol desktop locked up I gotta wait until the battery dies now lol | 18:43 |
Torikun | nhaines: it was horrible uninstalling it | 19:07 |
nhaines | Torikun: uninstalling Ubuntu or Android? | 19:12 |
nhaines | YokoZar: heya. :) | 19:12 |
Torikun | Uninstalling Ubuntu | 19:12 |
Torikun | going back to android | 19:12 |
Torikun | i was hoping it would be somewhat usable | 19:13 |
nhaines | It should have been. | 19:14 |
Torikun | nope | 19:14 |
nhaines | Just slow. | 19:14 |
Torikun | oh very slow | 19:14 |
Torikun | and keyboard would not appear when needed | 19:14 |
Torikun | and unity screen would be locked and you can not close it | 19:14 |
Torikun | *application screen | 19:14 |
Torikun | 4 CPU's in the n7 and it runs so slow | 19:15 |
Torikun | and keyboard on unity too small | 19:17 |
Torikun | nhaines: got a raspberry pi? | 19:33 |
nhaines | Torikun:I really want one but have absolutely no use for one. | 19:34 |
Torikun | haha I understand that | 19:35 |
nhaines | Torikun: didn't stop me from buying bitcoin, but eh... :) | 19:36 |
Torikun | lolololololol | 19:36 |
Torikun | How is bit coin doing | 19:36 |
pleia2 | heh, jyo had a backpack full of 'em at a global jam event, that's how I ended up with one (it sits next to my desktop and runs an irc bot that does nothing) | 19:37 |
Torikun | lol | 19:37 |
pleia2 | re: I wanted one but still have absolutely no use for one | 19:37 |
Torikun | http://www.linux-toys.com that's what I did with them | 19:37 |
darthrobot | Title: [Linux-toys.com | .....another techy Linux blog.] | 19:37 |
Torikun | it's great for an irc bouncer pleia2 | 19:37 |
pleia2 | I don't use bouncers | 19:38 |
pleia2 | I run screen+irssi on my VPS | 19:38 |
Torikun | lol that's not as efficient | 19:38 |
pleia2 | I guess it depends on what you're doing :) | 19:38 |
Torikun | lol yeah | 19:38 |
Torikun | with bouncers, you can use any client app | 19:38 |
pleia2 | any client app that has support for over 100 channels, sure! | 19:39 |
pleia2 | most suck at it though | 19:39 |
Torikun | oh | 19:39 |
Torikun | performance is terrible on the pi | 19:40 |
nhaines | Torikun: bitcoin hit $20 overnight after fighting it for three days and is now worth $21.35. | 19:40 |
Torikun | ah | 19:40 |
nhaines | I've made a couple dollars and the sooner people accept it and just buy my trade orders at bitfloor I'll have another half a dollar. :) | 19:41 |
pleia2 | nhaines: w00t, early retirement! | 19:41 |
pleia2 | :) | 19:42 |
Torikun | you guys play with yacy? | 19:42 |
* Torikun did not mean to sound sexist there lol | 19:42 | |
nhaines | pleia2: haha. Well, it's fun and then once I get a tiny bit I push it to bitzino.com where I can lose it in the slickest HTML5 Blackjack interface you've ever seen. ;) | 19:43 |
pleia2 | nhaines: haha, we'll that's something :) | 19:44 |
nhaines | pleia2: it even runs on my Nintendo 3DS browser! | 19:45 |
nhaines | Note: this is the worst way to play blackjack. | 19:45 |
pleia2 | lol | 19:45 |
YokoZar | email: Plz.. i need enter to the group to learn with the users, im new in ubuntu dev and i need some experiencie... | 19:59 |
YokoZar | me: What exactly are you talking about or asking me to do? | 19:59 |
YokoZar | email: I need a group to start to develop for ubuntu but i dont know how start, and i need the code | 19:59 |
Torikun | http://sitedown.co/amazoncom | 19:59 |
Torikun | amazon is down =( | 19:59 |
darthrobot | Title: [Amazon.com Site Down Reports] | 19:59 |
pleia2 | prolly using ec2 | 20:00 |
Torikun | lol | 20:00 |
pleia2 | YokoZar: you're on the CC, the membership board folks should be replying to that email | 20:01 |
pleia2 | (I'm sure they already have) | 20:01 |
YokoZar | pleia2: It was sent to me personally, I have no idea what he's talking about | 20:01 |
pleia2 | YokoZar: are you sure it didn't come from LP? (I got one too) | 20:01 |
pleia2 | footer: "using the "Contact this team's admins" link on the Ubuntu Members team page" | 20:02 |
YokoZar | Ahh you're right | 20:02 |
YokoZar | I get messages like this a lot though | 20:02 |
YokoZar | personally | 20:02 |
YokoZar | not launchpad | 20:02 |
YokoZar | half are people asking me to send them Wine | 20:03 |
pleia2 | I see them come through fairly often through launchpad, I get some personally too , people are funny :) | 20:03 |
YokoZar | The other half something blog related | 20:03 |
pleia2 | it's sweet that they want to contribute, but there are about 40 million documented ways to start, so if you can't even figure that out... :( | 20:03 |
YokoZar | I think many of them are low-english IT students in places like India who heard they need to do something Ubuntu related, stumbled upon the website, and then ask me to send them it | 20:04 |
pleia2 | yeah | 20:04 |
nhaines | YokoZar: i needz wine plz if u culd send me cuz i hate windowz but i need it anywa but cant pay so plz send me thx | 20:14 |
pleia2 | YokoZar: I need wine please, it's been a rough week :) | 20:23 |
YokoZar | Does the universe explode if you deluser root? | 21:30 |
pleia2 | there's only one way to find out! | 21:31 |
nhaines | Someone just linked to this on reddit. I had it posted on my cubicle wall at one point: http://xkcd.com/963/ | 22:55 |

gmulak | Am I in the correct place for Southern Calif loco team? Especially related to SCaLE? | 23:09 |
nhaines | gmulak: yes, except the team is statewide. Welcome. | 23:10 |
gmulak | nhaines: Nathan? | 23:12 |
nhaines | gmulak: yes. | 23:13 |
nhaines | By convention, anyway. ;) | 23:13 |
gmulak | It's George Mulak from the Lake Forest Ubuntu hour. Sure have missed all the people there | 23:13 |
nhaines | Of course. :) Glad you made your way here via IRC! | 23:14 |
gmulak | nhaines: Mostly because of your contribution of help at the Ubuntu hour. You were so patient with everyone. A great example of colaboration | 23:17 |
nhaines | gmulak: it was a great way to meet up with others and discuss whatever interesting problems they'd come across. I should get over to Panera again soon. | 23:18 |
gmulak | nhaines: should I also join #scal and #scale-chat since I am going to be there? | 23:18 |
gmulak | nhaines: Now that I have changed jobs I could go again. I would apreciate it. | 23:19 |
gmulak | nahines: Panera was very kind to us, let us stay awhile and the food was great also. | 23:19 |
nhaines | gmulak: since about half of everyone bought *something*, I don't think they were too put out. Lots of people use it for book clubs and study groups and so on. :) | 23:27 |
nhaines | gmulak: #scale-chat is another IRC network, and it's really more for planning. Also it's pretty quiet. | 23:28 |
gmulak | nhaines: Yup, Panera was like a coffee shop atmosphere with great food. I better log onto #scale-chat then, cause I will be at the Ubuntu booth.... | 23:29 |
nhaines | I should sign up to be at the Ubuntu booth. Looks like I'll be able to make it after all. | 23:31 |
gmulak | nahaines: Great news - see you there. | 23:32 |
nhaines | gmulak: great. :) | 23:33 |
gmulak | what does this mean? I am the only one in the chat room. (3:33:52 PM) mode (+ns ) by hitchcock.freenode.net Not active? | 23:36 |
gmulak | This is in the #scale-chat room..... | 23:40 |
nhaines | gmulak: it means that you're not on the right network. SCALE hosts their rooms at irc.oftc.net. | 23:40 |
nhaines | What IRC client are you using? | 23:40 |
gmulak | nhains: Pidgin | 23:41 |
gmulak | nhaines: they are not on irc.freenode.net? | 23:42 |
nhaines | gmulak: nope. | 23:43 |
gmulak | nhaines: OK, thanks. | 23:44 |
nhaines | I strongly recommend the console application irssi. But use pidgin if it's more convenient. :) | 23:44 |
Torikun | znc! | 23:44 |
philipballew | oh, nhaines haven't seen your name in here for a while | 23:44 |
philipballew | Quassel is nice... | 23:45 |
nhaines | philipballew: this server's been up for 343 days. :) | 23:45 |
nhaines | note to self: I should probably reboot the server. | 23:45 |
philipballew | nhaines, I see your putting this server to good use finally :) | 23:46 |
* philipballew runs and hides | 23:46 | |
gmulak | nhaines: OK, thanks. I am using it at work on my windoz machine. I was using it because it was cross-platform. | 23:46 |
gmulak | philipballew: Hello-it's George Mulak | 23:47 |
nhaines | gmulak: That's a good reason! I actually just have a couple VPSes and ssh into my screen session. | 23:47 |
philipballew | oh hey gmulak | 23:47 |
philipballew | hope all is well | 23:47 |
gmulak | nhaines: OK, what is VPSes? I know ssh is secure shell... | 23:48 |
gmulak | phillipballew: Yep. I just ordered my new orange Ubuntu cap for the booth... :-) | 23:49 |
nhaines | gmulak: it's a virtual private server. Instead of buying a computer and paying rent, I just pay for a VM in someone else's colocated server. :) | 23:49 |
gmulak | nhaines: Oh yes, I remember you showing me that. One of the things that made me consider chat... | 23:50 |
nhaines | In fact, I went with prgmr.com who were at SCALE like two years ago. I am just checking out chunkhost.com as well. | 23:50 |
philipballew | gmulak, oh wow. Im gonna wear some shirts I have from uds, and ill bring some other shirts from to | 23:50 |
nhaines | gmulak: you're welcome to have a shell account on one of my servers for a bit to try it out. | 23:51 |
gmulak | phillipballew: I didn't have enough money to order CD's Only working part time. | 23:51 |
philipballew | gmulak, Were gonna get official cd's in the mail to hand out so it should be good | 23:52 |
philipballew | I have like 50 official cd's Ill bring as well | 23:52 |
gmulak | nhaines: Wow, that is your usual kindness for sure. Perhaps at Panera again, you can show me how sometime? | 23:52 |
philipballew | and someone might brink some blank ones to burn in case | 23:52 |
nhaines | I'll bring my remaining DVDs (they're not CDs anymore) with me as well. | 23:52 |
gmulak | phillipballew: OK, thanks. Can I buy a XXLarge shirt off of you? | 23:53 |
nhaines | gmulak: all you have to do is shoot me an email. I'll send you a username and password that you can change when you first log in and then you run 'byobu', then 'irssi', and then you can just type '/connect Ubuntu' and then '/join #ubuntu-us-ca' | 23:54 |
philipballew | gmulak, I do not think I have any xx. Olny mediums. The Juju talk might have some shirts you can snag | 23:54 |
gmulak | phillipballew: Yes, I was going to bring some CD's and my HDD with distro's on it. Although I can't find lubuntu distro | 23:55 |
gmulak | nhaines: gmulak - at - hotmail dot com | 23:55 |
philipballew | gmulak, just come and answer questions in a professional manner and that should be just fine. :) No need to do more. | 23:56 |
gmulak | phillipballew: Can only afford a few labels however | 23:57 |
gmulak | phillipballew: Just don't kick me out if I don't know enough answers! :-) Please! | 23:57 |
philipballew | gmulak, I can go over some basic questions you'll get on Friday, or anything you do not want to answer just send them to me. | 23:58 |
gmulak | phillipballew: Great, thanks. Sometimes the best way to learn is to dive in. I would like enough knowledge to start an ubuntu hr like nhaines showed me. | 23:59 |
