=== ccar_away is now known as ccarella === ccarella is now known as ccar_away [01:57] 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] wow that was a lot bigger than i thought it would be [02:05] 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. [02:09] ^ what persisto said [02:24] lol [02:24] its dead here [02:24] could be the hoyur [02:25] *hour [02:32] 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/ [02:43] persisto: i've been watching the channel for a while, it is sporadic, people are obviously doing useful things [02:44] patience brings glory and all that [02:54] ErichEickmeyer, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ [02:55] (does the same as tasksel, but in a single step ;) ) [02:55] (you still get prompted to select gdm of course) [02:56] ErichEickmeyer, removing tasks is a bad bad idea [03:00] berglh, persisto welcome! [03:01] 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] I did it several times, and it works flawlessly. [03:03] ErichEickmeyer, installing ubuntu-gnome-task over ubuntu works well and is safe, but removing a task is dangerous [03:04] it is possible that tasksel doesnt actually remove the task when deselecting ubuntu [03:04] darkxst: I checked, and it does, but it keeps anything needed for the ubuntu-gnome-desktop task. [03:04] It does remove Unity completely. [03:04] And cleanly. [03:07] We wouldn't have featured it if it broke systems. [03:12] maybe it works in this instance, but last time we tried it out, there were packages missing [03:15] try running `dpkg -l | grep ^ii` on a clean ubuntu GNOME install an a converted install then diff the two files ;0 [03:16] berglh, persisto, most of the technical work is debian packaging, bit of patching (mostly C) code. [03:16] though I have to go out again now, will be back in a few hours [05:11] berglh, welcome. Another Aussie in the ubuntu-gnome team [05:12] Do you know any programming languages? [05:49] Noskcaj, did you test out the games? [05:58] Noskcaj: I've been starting to learn c, can build software from source, could test stuff, looking to improve my c programming [05:58] anyway, off to get an MRI, kind of scary, bbl [06:53] Noskcaj, I think i have copied everything across now (unless I missed something), except gnome-nibbles which seems to have broken keyboard input [06:55] thanks, i'd only checked launching without looking broken on some of the stuff i've never used [06:58] could you control the snake in nibbles? [06:59] didn't run it, sorry. I'll look into it [07:20] darkxst, I can control it fin [07:20] *fine [07:21] hmm odd, it worked now, but definitely didnt the first time I tried it [07:31] interesting. Maybe a first time run bug? First tiem i ran from terminal it crashed, then worked fine after [07:56] possible if it is migrating settings or what not === ccar_away is now known as ccarella === ccarella is now known as ccar_away === prth is now known as prth|away === ccar_away is now known as ccarella
