| jose | pleia2: is it fine if I create some test drafts on the fridge? not posting them at all, but will try to see if I can work out openid auth in the scripts | 04:33 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | jose: go for it :) | 05:09 |
| pleia2 | and thanks! | 05:09 |
| jose | pleia2: no worries. btw, do you have a minute? I'm stuck at some perl-y things | 05:16 |
| pleia2 | jose: I'm running in degraded mode (on my phone, no wifi at home at the moment, redoing networking) | 05:17 |
| jose | pleia2: no prob then, good luck with all of that | 05:18 |
| pleia2 | I can help tomorrow once I'm back if you are still stuck :) | 05:18 |
| jose | sure, I'll try to get around this today :) | 05:22 |
| jose | thanks! | 05:22 |
| xephexx1 | Nvidia version 304.88 is a little bit buggy when opening multiple windows and using my clipboard does anybody have any ideas? | 06:40 |
| xephexx1 | Another glorious day here in Ubuntu-Land hope everybody has a great one...<<<XΞpћΞxҲ™>>> | 13:49 |
| jose | working on the post for the change from approved to verified locoteams | 14:13 |
| jose | posted | 14:45 |
| PaulW2U | pleia2: UWN summaries done despite another very very low turnout this week :( | 17:22 |
| pleia2 | PaulW2U: thanks again for all your work, I think this week I'll send a note to all our current summary writers, we have like 40 on the list, some of whom have never participated | 17:26 |
| pleia2 | hopefully I can find some who just need some guidance | 17:26 |
| PaulW2U | 40 ???? | 17:26 |
| pleia2 | heh, yeah | 17:27 |
| pleia2 | I should say, many of whom have never participated :) | 17:27 |
| pleia2 | I do a call for help, add them to the list, silence | 17:27 |
| pleia2 | emailing every week! | 17:27 |
| PaulW2U | I sometimes see two or three on a Sunday but usually none on Saturday | 17:27 |
| * pleia2 nods | 17:27 | |
| pleia2 | saturday is my day off, so I haven't kept a close watch on it lately | 17:28 |
| pleia2 | my husband is rewriging the home network, so I'm on [Dthe roof, lousy wifi here :) | 17:29 |
| pleia2 | errewiring too | 17:29 |
| PaulW2U | on the roof? | 17:30 |
| * pleia2 is mostly staying out of his way so her sysadmin self doesn't grump about the network configuration | 17:30 | |
| pleia2 | it's a roof deck, I live in a high rise | 17:30 |
| jose | hey pleia2, have a min? couldn't get around the perl-y thing | 17:31 |
| pleia2 | jose: ask away :) | 17:32 |
| jose | let me pastebin | 17:32 |
| jose | pleia2: so, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6025788/ is for the openid auth. I have the $cgi variable, but it's not defined anywhere as my $cgi blah blah blah, and it gives me a global symbol error or something like that | 17:36 |
| jose | any idea on how to get that fixed? | 17:37 |
| pleia2 | jose: why not define it? | 17:37 |
| jose | because I don't know how | 17:39 |
| pleia2 | well, what is it? :) | 17:39 |
| pleia2 | looks like you pulled this script from somewhere else? | 17:39 |
| pleia2 | it definitely needs to be set at some point, either earlier in the script or by a script that includes this one | 17:40 |
| jose | yeah, I did try to pull it and modify it | 17:43 |
| jose | it's basically getting the check url so the users can login to the sso service and it gives a reply to the script | 17:44 |
| jose | though I'm not quite sure if it'll work from a cli | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | so look at the original script and see where it defined it? or maybe it's an environment variable or something | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | ah yeah, that could be | 17:45 |
| pleia2 | in a web browser it's easier because it just hooks into lp, from cli you need to launch a browser | 17:45 |
| jose | yeah | 17:45 |
| jose | I'll see what I can do after lunch, thanks! | 17:45 |
| pleia2 | there are tools in ubuntu-land that do (ubuntu-bug) but they're mostly in python afaik | 17:45 |
| jose | and what about porting the code to python? | 17:47 |
| jose | I can try | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | that would be fine, I think nhandler went with perl because of the better regex handling (and these scripts do love regexes!) | 17:47 |
| jose | I've seen that | 17:48 |
| jose | well, time for lunch, talk to you in a while! | 17:49 |
| pleia2 | enjoy :) | 17:49 |
| PaulW2U | pleia2: if anyone needs some guidance then akgraner's session at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpaYsbRnteQ might be useful. It got me started :) | 17:50 |
| pleia2 | PaulW2U: ah, good call! thanks, I'll have a browse and include it in my email | 17:50 |
| scott_ev | hey, I think I need to get involved with the UWN again. Surely the process has changed some since I was involved so I'll need to be schooled a little. | 22:59 |
| scott_ev | luckily some names here are familiar - akgraner, nhandler, and pleia2 - hello again | 23:00 |
| PaulW2U | scott_ev: hi there, we definitely need help with summary writing | 23:08 |
| scott_ev | PaulW2U: ok, what's the process? | 23:16 |
| scott_ev | is it something I can do during the week or is everything done on one day? I can work just about any time | 23:16 |
| PaulW2U | take a look at http://bit.ly/vDkJyf. It's finished for this week but links are added during the week and summaries written at the weekend | 23:17 |
| scott_ev | also, a few members of my LoCo are looking for things to do to help as they are thinking about applying for ubuntu membership. I'll see if I can get some more help if needed. OK, I can start writing summaries on Sat. | 23:18 |
| scott_ev | w00t!! I made it into this week's edition!! haha; I'm famous | 23:20 |
| PaulW2U | great. I've been very much on my own for the past few weeks with only pleia2 adding links and writing summaries | 23:20 |
| PaulW2U | Also have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/StyleGuidelines before you start writing | 23:21 |
| scott_ev | understood. we have our meeting tonight and I'll put the word out | 23:21 |
| PaulW2U | You also might want to get on pleia2's mailing list so that you know when you can start writing summaries | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | welcome scott_ev :) | 23:22 |
| scott_ev | I may be able to convince a few volunteers that this is their best opportunity to start showing work outside of the LoCo | 23:22 |
| scott_ev | pleia2: good to see you again | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | I send an email every Friday night to everyone on my list of summary writers | 23:22 |
| scott_ev | it's been much too long | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | summaries are written Saturday - Sunday | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | so I can add you to that list of writers if you'd like :) | 23:22 |
| scott_ev | k, great. add j dot scott dot gwin at ubuntu to thaqt list | 23:23 |
| pleia2 | k | 23:23 |
| scott_ev | IIRC your nick is about princess leia and not the pleiadese (sp) system | 23:24 |
| pleia2 | right :) | 23:24 |
| scott_ev | nice, I still have some medium-term memory left | 23:24 |
| scott_ev | w00t | 23:24 |
| pleia2 | I do have a pleiades necklace though, given the similarity it's grown on me ;) | 23:24 |
| scott_ev | nice, it's a very important system according to many religion's cosmology | 23:25 |
| pleia2 | so I hear! | 23:25 |
| scott_ev | after many many years in meditation I can back up that sentiment | 23:25 |
| === jono is now known as Guest52668 | ||
| scott_ev | if you look at my wiki you can see how lazy I've been for nearly 2 years. it was nice to drop back and be a generic end user but that got boring | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 23:27 |
| pleia2 | well, we're glad to have you back | 23:27 |
| scott_ev | I nearly downloaded the whole net, watched and read everything - filled up a nas then quit being a leech | 23:28 |
| scott_ev | thanks, this will be fun. I'm amazed we ever got published back when it was me, johnc4510, and tyche | 23:29 |
| pleia2 | it's amazing you guys kept it going for so long with such a small team | 23:29 |
| scott_ev | and a few others - we did everything on sunday morning somehgow | 23:29 |
| * pleia2 nods | 23:29 | |
| scott_ev | old guys rule!!! | 23:29 |
| scott_ev | haha | 23:30 |
| pleia2 | lol | 23:30 |
| scott_ev | actually, it's just sad that we had nothing better to do.... | 23:30 |
| scott_ev | but john was a great leader for quite a while | 23:30 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 23:30 |
| pleia2 | and nah, people love UWN, it's a worthy thing to spend time on :) | 23:30 |
| scott_ev | agreed | 23:31 |
| scott_ev | taking over the loco after john was more work than I had imagined | 23:31 |
| pleia2 | I bet | 23:32 |
| scott_ev | I think I just burned out from leading the loco, working with uwn, helping the local lug, etc. I was working more than I did before I retirede | 23:32 |
| pleia2 | hah | 23:32 |
| scott_ev | I'm looking fwd to being a participant again | 23:33 |
| jose | and we look forward on having you on the team! | 23:36 |
| * jose waves | 23:36 | |
| * scott_ev waves back - thanks | 23:37 | |
| scott_ev | and I did that w/o a rotten trout! | 23:38 |
| pleia2 | haha | 23:39 |
