| berglh | darkxst: i've been using ubuntu gnome and prior to that ubuntu running with gnome-shell for quite some time. i have a back ground in systems administration and been using linux for <5 years. I have 13 years industry experience, primarily based on ms server products and network consultancy. since working at the unversity of queensland, i've been more interested in developing my linux/bsd skillset and have dropped all ms os from my life. i've been doi | 01:57 |
|---|---|---|
| berglh | wow that was a lot bigger than i thought it would be | 01:57 |
| persisto | Hi, I have very limited programming experience I would love to help out with the Ubuntu-Gnome Project. This is a distribution I virtualize and use right now. I am not sure how much help I can be but I would love to help. I am not sure where to begin or how. I have never participated in an open source project before. | 02:05 |
| berglh | ^ what persisto said | 02:09 |
| persisto | lol | 02:24 |
| persisto | its dead here | 02:24 |
| persisto | could be the hoyur | 02:24 |
| persisto | *hour | 02:25 |
| ErichEickmeyer | darkxst: I just wanted to show you a guide that I put together/was featured on the Linux Action Show. I've seen people ask how to convert Ubuntu to Ubuntu GNOME, so this should help: http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/66657/switching-ubuntu-to-gnome-las-330/ | 02:32 |
| berglh | persisto: i've been watching the channel for a while, it is sporadic, people are obviously doing useful things | 02:43 |
| berglh | patience brings glory and all that | 02:44 |
| darkxst | ErichEickmeyer, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ | 02:54 |
| darkxst | (does the same as tasksel, but in a single step ;) ) | 02:55 |
| darkxst | (you still get prompted to select gdm of course) | 02:55 |
| darkxst | ErichEickmeyer, removing tasks is a bad bad idea | 02:56 |
| darkxst | berglh, persisto welcome! | 03:00 |
| ErichEickmeyer | darkxst: Except it worked and very well, might I add. I did a lot of research on it before I created the tutorial. I'm not some complete newbie; I know what i'm doing. | 03:01 |
| ErichEickmeyer | I did it several times, and it works flawlessly. | 03:01 |
| darkxst | ErichEickmeyer, installing ubuntu-gnome-task over ubuntu works well and is safe, but removing a task is dangerous | 03:03 |
| darkxst | it is possible that tasksel doesnt actually remove the task when deselecting ubuntu | 03:04 |
| ErichEickmeyer | darkxst: I checked, and it does, but it keeps anything needed for the ubuntu-gnome-desktop task. | 03:04 |
| ErichEickmeyer | It does remove Unity completely. | 03:04 |
| ErichEickmeyer | And cleanly. | 03:04 |
| ErichEickmeyer | We wouldn't have featured it if it broke systems. | 03:07 |
| darkxst | maybe it works in this instance, but last time we tried it out, there were packages missing | 03:12 |
| darkxst | try running `dpkg -l | grep ^ii` on a clean ubuntu GNOME install an a converted install then diff the two files ;0 | 03:15 |
| darkxst | berglh, persisto, most of the technical work is debian packaging, bit of patching (mostly C) code. | 03:16 |
| darkxst | though I have to go out again now, will be back in a few hours | 03:16 |
| Noskcaj | berglh, welcome. Another Aussie in the ubuntu-gnome team | 05:11 |
| Noskcaj | Do you know any programming languages? | 05:12 |
| darkxst | Noskcaj, did you test out the games? | 05:49 |
| berglh | Noskcaj: I've been starting to learn c, can build software from source, could test stuff, looking to improve my c programming | 05:58 |
| berglh | anyway, off to get an MRI, kind of scary, bbl | 05:58 |
| darkxst | Noskcaj, I think i have copied everything across now (unless I missed something), except gnome-nibbles which seems to have broken keyboard input | 06:53 |
| Noskcaj | thanks, i'd only checked launching without looking broken on some of the stuff i've never used | 06:55 |
| darkxst | could you control the snake in nibbles? | 06:58 |
| Noskcaj | didn't run it, sorry. I'll look into it | 06:59 |
| Noskcaj | darkxst, I can control it fin | 07:20 |
| Noskcaj | *fine | 07:20 |
| darkxst | hmm odd, it worked now, but definitely didnt the first time I tried it | 07:21 |
| Noskcaj | interesting. Maybe a first time run bug? First tiem i ran from terminal it crashed, then worked fine after | 07:31 |
| darkxst | possible if it is migrating settings or what not | 07:56 |
