[04:33] <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
[05:09] <pleia2> jose: go for it :)
[05:09] <pleia2> and thanks!
[05:16] <jose> pleia2: no worries. btw, do you have a minute? I'm stuck at some perl-y things
[05:17] <pleia2> jose: I'm running in degraded mode (on my phone, no wifi at home at the moment, redoing networking)
[05:18] <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 :)
[05:22] <jose> sure, I'll try to get around this today :)
[05:22] <jose> thanks!
[06:40] <xephexx1> Nvidia version 304.88 is  a little bit buggy when opening multiple windows and using my clipboard does anybody have any ideas?
[13:49] <xephexx1> Another glorious day here in Ubuntu-Land hope everybody has a great one...<<<XΞpћΞxҲ™>>>
[14:13] <jose> working on the post for the change from approved to verified locoteams
[14:45] <jose> posted
[17:22] <PaulW2U> pleia2: UWN summaries done despite another very very low turnout this week :(
[17:26] <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 ????
[17:27] <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
[17:28] <pleia2> saturday is my day off, so I haven't kept a close watch on it lately
[17:29] <pleia2> my husband is rewriging the home network, so I'm on [Dthe roof, lousy wifi here :)
[17:29] <pleia2> errewiring too
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <jose> hey pleia2, have a min? couldn't get around the perl-y thing
[17:32] <pleia2> jose: ask away :)
[17:32] <jose> let me pastebin
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <jose> any idea on how to get that fixed?
[17:37] <pleia2> jose: why not define it?
[17:39] <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?
[17:40] <pleia2> it definitely needs to be set at some point, either earlier in the script or by a script that includes this one
[17:43] <jose> yeah, I did try to pull it and modify it
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <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
[17:47] <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!)
[17:48] <jose> I've seen that
[17:49] <jose> well, time for lunch, talk to you in a while!
[17:49] <pleia2> enjoy :)
[17:50] <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
[22:59] <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.
[23:00] <scott_ev> luckily some names here are familiar - akgraner, nhandler, and pleia2 - hello again
[23:08] <PaulW2U> scott_ev: hi there, we definitely need help with summary writing
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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.
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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 :)
[23:23] <scott_ev> k, great. add j dot scott dot gwin at ubuntu to thaqt list
[23:23] <pleia2> k
[23:24] <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 ;)
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <pleia2> hehe
[23:27] <pleia2> well, we're glad to have you back
[23:28] <scott_ev> I nearly downloaded the whole net, watched and read everything - filled up a nas then quit being a leech
[23:29] <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!!!
[23:30] <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 :)
[23:31] <scott_ev> agreed
[23:31] <scott_ev> taking over the loco after john was more work than I had imagined
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <scott_ev> I'm looking fwd to being a participant again
[23:36] <jose> and we look forward on having you on the team!
[23:36]  * jose waves
[23:37]  * scott_ev waves back - thanks
[23:38] <scott_ev> and I did that w/o a rotten trout!
[23:39] <pleia2> haha
