| zequence | cub: screen resolution depends on if you installed the guest utils or not | 07:37 |
|---|---|---|
| zequence | cub: usually, resizing the window will change the resolution automatically, if you have guest utilities | 07:37 |
| cub | I did. Before that it was only 1024x768 | 07:37 |
| cub | according to the manual you can lock the screen size to a specific size, but when I do it locks to another size. | 07:38 |
| cub | I made a thread on ubuntuforums | 07:38 |
| zequence | haven't messed with that myself | 07:38 |
| zequence | cub: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhFcErztgeA&feature=youtu.be | 10:28 |
| zequence | a bit advanced though | 10:28 |
| cub | 18 minutes..:D | 10:29 |
| zequence | made me realize we should have more than one page for the intro | 10:29 |
| zequence | one for the brand, and another for the tutorial name | 10:29 |
| cub | let me grab my lunch and watch it. | 10:30 |
| zequence | There's no point in us spending too much time with this right now | 10:34 |
| zequence | but, for 14.04, it might be nice to do something a bit nicer | 10:34 |
| zequence | like animated branding, and so forth | 10:34 |
| zequence | we need a new standard for our branding first | 10:34 |
| zequence | madeinkobaia is working on something for this right now, so he should have something ready soon | 10:35 |
| cub | ok | 10:36 |
| cub | yeah, would be cool. Seems like a bit of work to get there though. | 10:42 |
| cub | after watching a couple of gnome3design videos I'm even more reluctant to background music in tutorials. | 12:10 |
| zequence | contract signed. I'm tutoring Linux for two weeks (26,27) | 13:45 |
| cub | sweet | 13:45 |
| cub | where? | 13:45 |
| zequence | coincidentally, I'm currently reading for the Linux+ certificate, so I might actually know what I'm talking about | 13:45 |
| zequence | It's an unemployment thing | 13:46 |
| cub | aha | 13:46 |
| zequence | it-lyftet | 13:46 |
| zequence | I do one week full time x two places | 13:46 |
| cub | who is the audience? Beginners? | 13:47 |
| zequence | it's a little mixed | 13:47 |
| zequence | not many who have formal education | 13:47 |
| zequence | not in IT anyhow | 13:47 |
| zequence | a lot of interest though, so that's good | 13:48 |
| zequence | they had to increase with two places in the course room | 13:48 |
| zequence | at site nr.1 | 13:48 |
| cub | might look into the links for Inkscape tutorials later. I need to learn how to do icons. I want to create a Solarized theme for xfce with flat icons | 13:48 |
| cub | @it-lyftet.se that is | 13:49 |
| zequence | http://itlyftet.se/ | 13:49 |
| zequence | I have a subdomain, which is rubbish right now, but will be used for the course http://linux.itlyftet.se/ | 13:50 |
| zequence | I'd love to learn how to do that stuff too | 13:51 |
| zequence | I've done a few tutorials for different graphics applications | 13:52 |
| zequence | no time.. | 13:52 |
| zequence | I think in july I might have more time for Ubuntu Studio. I'm not really doing much concretely right now myself | 13:52 |
| cub | time is always hard. | 13:54 |
| zequence | the good thing about having 5 days alone with a room full of people is that you get a long time to convince them why they should use Linux | 13:55 |
| cub | hehe | 13:55 |
| cub | is it mandatory or have they chosen to attend themselves? | 13:56 |
| zequence | it's voluntary | 13:56 |
| zequence | there are different courses there. usually they have one class a week | 13:56 |
| zequence | no one else will be working there when I'm there | 13:57 |
| cub | lazy bastards ;) | 13:58 |
| zequence | I'll be doing classes from 9.30-12.00, and then walking around helping people the rest of the time | 13:58 |
| zequence | they are required to do work in between classes of course | 13:58 |
| zequence | but, sure. they aren't getting any diplomas or certificates, so there's really not a huge motivator for working hard | 13:59 |
| cub | I'm not so sure. they have chosen themselves to be there so learning is probably key | 14:00 |
| zequence | they are required to go there, even though they are able to choose where they go | 14:01 |
| cub | I went to folkhögskola where you don't get any grades or diploma, learnt more than in any other school since we were all very motivated just to learn the stuff we had chosen ourselves | 14:01 |
| zequence | if you've been unemployed for a certain amount of time, you have to do some sort of activity | 14:01 |
| cub | righ | 14:01 |
| cub | t | 14:01 |
| zequence | most people don't have that inner drive. they need a carrot | 14:02 |
| zequence | being lazy is actually a pretty good thing from certain aspects | 14:03 |
| cub | Bill Gates thought so | 14:03 |
| zequence | get as much done using the least amount of energy | 14:03 |
| cub | something along the line of "lazy programmers are great because they will always find the easiest way to do things" | 14:04 |
| cub | exactly | 14:04 |
| cub | time to go to dog school. | 14:05 |
| zequence | you dog you.. | 14:07 |
| cub | Ok, seems I "solved" my trouble with recordmydesktop and Virtualbox. I had issues that the windows in the Vbox didn't show properly | 20:52 |
| cub | So instead doing the vbox full screen and capture from within the vbox, if I instead connect my external monitor and manually set the vbox to be 1280x720 | 20:53 |
| cub | and the start recordmydesktop on the host and point it to record only the part of the screen where the vbox is. Voila. Seems to work. | 20:53 |
| cub | Could be that my issues before was only a temporary glitch but this seems to work so. | 20:54 |
