| azend | BobJonkman1: thanks for the email | 06:29 |
|---|---|---|
| BobJonkman1 | :) | 06:29 |
| azend | I've been pretty smashed the past couple of weeks and haven't had much sit down time to go and set everything up | 06:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | Not many registrations yet: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2393-guelph-raring-ringtail-release-party/ | 06:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | Should be fine. These things mostly run themselves. | 06:30 |
| BobJonkman1 | Does Diyode have a pop fridge? | 06:30 |
| azend | yup | 06:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | Then you're all set.\ | 06:31 |
| azend | it was pretty well stocked last time I checked | 06:31 |
| BobJonkman1 | I hope Diyode still accepts cash for the pop fridge. Kwartzlab is drifting to Ripplepay and Bitcoin; I may have to go thirsty there soon | 06:32 |
| azend | we'll take anything you've got | 06:33 |
| BobJonkman1 | :) | 06:33 |
| azend | I've heard some KwartzLab members have rigged up some ponzi scheme with bit coins so that makes sense | 06:35 |
| BobJonkman1 | LOL | 06:36 |
| azend | BobJonkman1: you should join us in #diyode | 06:37 |
| BobJonkman1 | singpolyma is developing some Web app to do with Ripplepay exchange | 06:37 |
| azend | all I know is that, with the way they were talking at the last couple of meetings, it sounded like a ponzi scheme to me | 06:38 |
| azend | not that I have anything against it | 06:38 |
| azend | I would take part if I could :) | 06:39 |
| BobJonkman1 | Here's what singpolyma is working on: http://rippleunion.com/ | 06:43 |
| azend | I'm glad Ubuntu has decided to continue on having a regular release cycle | 06:45 |
| BobJonkman1 | Really? Why? | 06:45 |
| BobJonkman1 | I was looking forward to a rolling release | 06:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | In fact, I may try out the new Debian Testing (Jessie?) to see how that goes | 06:46 |
| azend | moving to a rolling release structure would be detrimental to community around Ubuntu | 06:46 |
| BobJonkman1 | And I think Linux Mint Debian Edition is already rolling | 06:46 |
| azend | and would destroy any excitement that builds from a new release being released | 06:47 |
| BobJonkman1 | True, it would reduce the opportunity for release parties. | 06:47 |
| BobJonkman1 | There would still be LTS releases, tho | 06:47 |
| azend | I like rolling releases for distros like arch but not for Ubuntu | 06:47 |
| azend | the LTS are almost always way behind the times though | 06:48 |
| BobJonkman1 | Canonical has a way of alienating the community anyway. | 06:48 |
| azend | haha | 06:48 |
| BobJonkman1 | All that hoop-jumping for approvals, f'rinstance | 06:48 |
| azend | very true | 06:48 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'm not sure the last few releases have been very good. I had bad experiences with 12.10, for example | 06:49 |
| azend | really? | 06:49 |
| BobJonkman1 | And there were some earlier ones that were terrible, too. I think 10.04 had broken Intel graphic drivers, for example. | 06:49 |
| azend | I've heard they were pretty good | 06:50 |
| BobJonkman1 | Later point releases (10.04.2) were better. | 06:50 |
| azend | 13.04 is just an expansion on 12.10 with emphasis on speed | 06:51 |
| azend | so I guess we'll see | 06:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | So far, 13.04 seems OK. The newer kernel (or maybe some drivers) are now detecting all the buttons on my laptop. | 06:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | I still have to experiment with hibernation and sleep | 06:51 |
| BobJonkman1 | And I really want to find an up-to-date Synaptics touchpad driver for Ubuntu. The toggle hotspot doesn't work on mine (there's no separate button) | 06:52 |
| BobJonkman1 | And I've never used the fingerprint scanner on this laptop. | 06:52 |
| azend | I've never had a fingerprint reader work in Ubuntu properly | 06:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | It was pretty complicated setting up the PAM integration. I gave up on an earlier version (10.10 maybe) | 06:54 |
| azend | I know system 76 automatically does that for you | 06:58 |
| azend | maybe look at their docs? | 06:59 |
| BobJonkman1 | They've got their own hardware, I'm not sure how applicable it would be. | 07:00 |
| BobJonkman1 | I'm using an HP ProBook | 07:00 |
| BobJonkman1 | Which does have *some* Linux support on the HP site | 07:01 |
