[02:57] <skellat> ¡BONG!
[02:57] <skellat> Everybody frozen yet?
[03:29] <Unit193> Temp: 24 F (-4 C) ~ light snow mist ~ Windchill: 18 F (-8 C) ~ Humidity: 96%
[03:29] <Unit193> Nah.
[13:33] <jrgifford> skellat: not really, no. some snow, not much.
[13:33] <jrgifford> you>
[13:33] <jrgifford> *?
[13:37] <belkinsa> We have snow but I don't know how much, but it's pretty out there.  ;)
[16:09] <belkinsa> skellat: What is required for a point of contact of a LoCo?
[16:10] <skellat> belkinsa: From the LoCo Council's perspective, you must have a Launchpad account and must have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
[16:10] <skellat> From Ubuntu Ohio's perspective, we additionally require being part of Ubuntu Member group on Launchpad so that there is no doubt you can access the Community Budget administered by Canonical Community Team
[16:11] <skellat> belkinsa: Moving?
[16:13] <skellat> The point of contact is normally listed as "Owner" on the LoCo's team page in Launchpad
[16:14] <belkinsa> No, I was thinking about removing some stress off you, but I guess I can't since I'm not Ubuntu Member, yet.
[16:19] <skellat> belkinsa: Oh, I can delegate
[16:19] <skellat> There are some things I can't delegate
[16:19] <skellat> But there is quite a lot I can
[16:22] <skellat> And the only stress that is going on is trying to figure out what on earth HR is doing with the paperwork in the hiring process that has dragged on for 2 months now for a job I applied for back in October.  The "Firm Job Offer" letter I got yesterday was so mealy-mouthed and evasive that I'm kinda scratching my head wondering what is going on.
[16:23] <belkinsa> Oh, okay, I see.  And yeah, I guess since we are not so active as a LoCo, there isn' that much stress on you.
[16:24] <skellat> Nah
[16:24] <skellat> I'm doing fine
[16:28] <belkinsa> But in the future, you want to change that, right?  At least based on that post on discourse.
[16:30] <skellat> Possibly
[16:30] <skellat> I gotta head out to pick up some wood from the county seat
[16:30] <skellat> Be back in a little while
[16:30]  * skellat disappears
[16:30] <belkinsa> Okay.
[16:30] <belkinsa> You pretty much answered my question.
[18:06] <cid420> has anybody messed with slackware?
[18:09] <belkinsa> I think I may know someone, but he is outside this channel.
[18:10] <cid420> ok I was thinking on messing with it.. in the pass you had to get your fingers dirty more then other OS's
[18:10] <belkinsa> The person nick here is phillw.
[18:11] <belkinsa> You can pop in this channel and ask him: #phillw
[18:12] <cid420> will do thanks
[18:12] <belkinsa> Not a problem.
[19:05] <dzho> slackware
[19:05] <dzho> man, I started with slackware
[19:05] <dzho> that was a *long* time ago
[19:05] <dzho> cid420: I guess it would be ok to give a look on a virtual machine or something
[19:05] <belkinsa> Didn't someone talk about this at OLF?
[19:05] <belkinsa> OLF2013*
[19:08] <cid420> that is what i did. it is still difficult to run..  you have partition the harddrive by hand then mount it. it isnt user friendly as they stated on there website
[19:09] <dzho> on slackware's website?
[19:09] <cid420> yea www.slackware.com
[19:09] <belkinsa> Any luck in their channel?
[19:10] <cid420> have not gotten that far yet still fiddling with it
[19:11] <dzho> well, when I used it, it was floppy sets
[19:11] <dzho> with boot and root floppies
[19:11]  * dzho mutters something about a lawn
[19:12] <cid420> LOL i missed a word called Setup in root.. that fixed it lol
[19:12] <dzho> heh
[19:12] <belkinsa> Heh, done that once but with the command "push"
[19:12] <dzho> the cool thing back then was that there was this filesystem called umsdos, where you could put your filesystem in DOS and so share it with Windows 9x
[19:14] <dzho> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux
[19:14] <jenni> [ FAT filesystem and Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ] - https://j.mp/IycOt1
[19:14] <dzho> come to think of it, maybe I should try to double up on my use of FAT filesystems on external USB hard drives
[19:14] <cid420> dzho: yea i remember that
[19:15] <dzho> one challenge I have with them is that in some situations I want to be just another linux fs
[19:15] <dzho> and so format it with ext3 or ext4
[19:15] <dzho> but sometimes I want to be able to move stuff among linux, MacOS and Windows
[19:15] <dzho> and there are a lot of tradeoffs no matter what you use there.
[19:16] <cid420> I remember before you get into anything like the system doing the administration stuff you had to compile the kernel to fit your hardware needs
[19:16] <dzho> also, sometimes I want to be able to boot and run off the USB drive as a rescue system
[19:16] <dzho> cid420: yeah, needed to do a lot more compilation back in the day
[19:16] <dzho> and X was a lot more of a pain
[19:16] <dzho> there are still driver problems these days
[19:17] <dzho> but nothing like there was
[19:17] <cid420> yea
[19:19] <dzho> every once in a while I need to run dkms to build a kernel module
[19:25] <cid420> would be worth setting up a newsgroup for yourself and select certain subjects to read upon or is that hard to do?
[19:26] <belkinsa> With Thunderbird?
[19:26] <cid420> no i mean a server
[19:26] <cid420> for a person use
[19:26] <belkinsa> Oh.
[19:27] <belkinsa> Sounds like a feed reader to me
[19:28] <dzho> I used to read a lot of news back in the day.
[19:28] <dzho> had fond memories of using 'nn'
[19:28] <cid420> see i have a file server to stream movies that i have backup from my originals, and a email server, I have another server sitting right here doing nothing, so i was thinking on setting up a newsgroup server
[19:28] <dzho> then, more recently, I installed nn and pointed it at a news server.
[19:28] <dzho> and I no longer liked it as much as I remembered having done so :-)
[19:28] <belkinsa> I was a part of one a while back
[19:29] <dzho> sdf/freeshell is good for this sort of stuff, though.
[19:29] <cid420> what do you mean dzho
[19:33] <dzho> like, they run a gopherserver
[19:33]  * dzho is logged onto his account there now, giving nn a try again
[19:33] <dzho> it looks like it's going to time out trying to connect to the default news server though
[20:03]  * canthus13 wonders why the hell anyone would install linux on FAT.
[20:15] <skellat> canthus13: Masochism?
[20:17] <canthus13> Heh. Masochists aren't usually stupid.
[21:16] <cid420> i tried to make my own gopher server but just not enough documentation for it
[21:58] <cid420> wake up fools hehe
[22:19] <andygraybeal> gopher :)
[22:20]  * belkinsa starts to snicker
[22:21] <andygraybeal> so the gui runs on console ctrl-alt-f7 right?  is there a way to run a libvirt/kvm box and have it show up on say ctrl-alt-f6 or something?
[22:38] <jrgifford> cid420: there have been situations where I might want to have linux on a fat32 or ntfs system...
[22:38] <jrgifford> primarily the Pi, where I might need to transfer files from my windows boxes.
