|---|---|---|
| Kilos | all | 06:39 |
| nhaines | Good morning, Kilos! Also dpm! | 06:54 |
| Kilos | hi there nhaines dpm svij | 06:55 |
| Kilos | book done nhaines ? | 06:55 |
| dpm | morning all :) | 06:55 |
| nhaines | Kilos: wrapping it up. :) | 06:56 |
| Kilos | nice | 06:56 |
| dholbach | good morning | 07:11 |
| nhaines | dholbach: good morning! | 07:12 |
| dholbach | hey nhaines :) | 07:12 |
| nhaines | I never thought it'd be so difficult to explain virtual machines for a book. :) | 07:13 |
| dholbach | "it's like a computer in a computer" or something | 07:14 |
| dholbach | yeah, I can imagine :) | 07:14 |
| nhaines | Well, that's a bit easy, but I'm trying to explain how to set a VirtualBox VM up without just retyping the wizard descriptions, which are quite good. | 07:15 |
| nhaines | But I'm not sure someone would be happy to spend $50 on a book that said "just read the screen here". :D | 07:15 |
| dholbach | oh ok | 07:21 |
| svij | morning all | 07:35 |
| nhaines | Morning, svij. | 07:35 |
| svij | nhaines: a book with "RTFM" would be quite good :D | 07:36 |
| nhaines | svij: I think I do that for the commandline tutorial... | 07:36 |
| svij | :D | 07:36 |
| nhaines | "Here's a brief overview before we find some fun stuff to do there, but if you are intrigued go out and buy a book on it." :D | 07:36 |
| nhaines | So they learn top and nethack before "scary" stuff like apt! | 07:37 |
| Kilos | morning dholbach | 07:37 |
| dholbach | hey Kilos | 07:37 |
| svij | nhaines: you're remembering me of one ubuntu for newbies book which I've read (and which was extremely bad) | 07:38 |
| nhaines | svij: oh, hopefully the entire book doesn't. :) | 07:44 |
| svij | nhaines: yours? Hopefully not ;) | 07:44 |
| Kilos | hehe | 07:45 |
| nhaines | dholbach: guess it's about that time. :) | 07:59 |
| dholbach | yep | 07:59 |
| MooDoo | howdy all | 08:20 |

| nhaines | Thanks for the summit project link! I'll poke at it when I have more time to put it on a virtual server and shake my fist at it. | 08:28 |
| * nhaines hugs MooDoo. | 08:47 | |
| nhaines | dholbach: thanks for getting those emails out already! They're perfect. :D | 08:48 |

| Kilos | hi MooDoo :) | 08:50 |
| Guest60633 | hii.. | 08:50 |
| nhaines | Guest60633: hi! | 08:50 |
| Guest60633 | I need a help | 08:50 |
| nhaines | If it's involving community advocacy I'm happy to help, and if not then we can find the right place for such questions. :) | 08:51 |
| MooDoo | Guest60633: best thing to do is just ask, then we can help or as nhaines says point you in the right direction | 08:51 |
| Guest60633 | i am unable to use usb modem in ubuntu 14.10 | 08:51 |
| Kilos | uh oh | 08:51 |
| Guest60633 | please help | 08:52 |
| MooDoo | yeah you probably need a support channel for that | 08:52 |
| svij | … and a supported Ubuntu version | 08:52 |
| Guest60633 | please give me. | 08:52 |
| MooDoo | visit #ubuntu for a start | 08:52 |
| nhaines | !support | 08:53 |
| ubot5 | The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com | 08:53 |
| MooDoo | ooo forgot about that lol | 08:53 |
| nhaines | There are a couple of nice places that shouold be able to help you. :) I'll bet AskUbuntu.com has a few answers about USB modems. | 08:53 |
| Guest60633 | ok.. do i have to create an account in that? | 08:54 |
| nhaines | Not to search and read answers, but you can use your Ubuntu One account to log in if you have to ask a new question. | 08:55 |
| Guest60633 | live chat is available there? | 08:55 |
| nhaines | No live chat, but tens of thousands of answers already. | 08:55 |
| MooDoo | best thing to do is go have a look :) | 08:55 |
| nhaines | If you can't find an answer there, you can come here and type "/join #ubuntu" and ask there for live chat. :) | 08:56 |
| Guest60633 | ok thanks.. i am goining there.. | 08:56 |
| nhaines | Great. Best of luck! | 08:56 |
| MooDoo | 925 results for the search of usb modem so I suspect someone will know :D | 08:56 |
| Guest60633 | byee... | 08:56 |
| Kilos | cheers go well | 08:56 |
| Guest60633 | :) | 08:57 |
| Kilos | same | 08:57 |
| Kilos | shame as well | 08:57 |
| MooDoo | ? | 08:57 |
| Kilos | usb modems has been a nightmare since 10.10 | 08:58 |
| MooDoo | well didn't like to say anything | 08:58 |
| nhaines | It's simple! | 08:59 |
| nhaines | Step 1: buy the right model modem. | 08:59 |
| nhaines | Step 2: don't buy the wrong model modem. | 08:59 |
| Kilos | if he doesnt get help ping me please and ill try help him in pm | 08:59 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:59 |
| svij | lol | 08:59 |
| MooDoo | Kilos: crazy fool ;) | 09:00 |
| Kilos | why? | 09:00 |
| Kilos | i even filed bug reports | 09:00 |
| Kilos | and one guy sent me s script to help things along | 09:01 |
| MooDoo | Kilos: I was teasing :) | 09:01 |
| Kilos | and to go through all those results to find something relevant to your modem is a massive job | 09:01 |
| Kilos | :D | 09:02 |
| MooDoo | google is your friend | 09:02 |
| Kilos | nono | 09:02 |
| Kilos | google hates me | 09:02 |
| Kilos | and always gives 500 results and normally number 499 is the one you need | 09:03 |
| Kilos | and mobile data is expensive | 09:03 |
| Kilos | my friends are irc friends | 09:03 |
