larsuseb128, ah cool. Sprinting?08:10
seb128yes08:10
Sweet5harkyeah, we can now open the discussion/flamefest on what was most awesome: Defcon, DebConf, Froscon, CCCamp all happening in the same few weeks ...08:11
* larsu was climbing volcanos and walking through rain forest08:12
Sweet5harklarsu: thats hard to beat as an off hand comment ...08:15
larsu:)08:16
seb128citizenM fail, fire alarm and building evacuate at 3am, we stayed for half an hour in the street08:16
seb128which seemed an issue with the system, not a real problem08:16
seb128then we still had half an hour of blinking red lights08:16
larsuseb128, ugh, annoying08:17
larsuI hope you got some compensation?08:17
seb128free breakfast and extra coffee08:18
larsuseb128, hm :(08:19
darkxsthey seb128, Laney larsu didrocks08:23
larsuhi darkxst!08:25
darkxstwhere have you been larsu?08:25
seb128hey darkxst08:25
larsudarkxst, costa rica08:26
darkxstlarsu, oh wow that would be intersting08:26
larsuand nicaragua for a couple of days08:26
larsuit was indeed :)08:26
didrocksevening darkxst08:27
darkxstI had my shed warming party on the weekend! was a great night, although the sun came up before we got to bed!08:27
darkxstlarsu, were you looking at gedit update?08:29
larsuno?!08:29
Laneygood old shed08:30
larsugood old gedit08:30
darkxstLaney, shed is an awesome studio apartment now!08:30
larsudarkxst, we couldn't decide on the headerbar problem last we talked about it08:30
larsu(can't believe I'm already talking about header bars on the first morning back)08:30
seb128can't believie it took like an hour before that ;-)08:31
pittioh, live in the channel!08:31
* pitti waves good morning to seb128, didrocks, and larsu08:31
larsuhi pitti!08:31
darkxstfeature freeze did just hit! and I swear I saw screenshots of gedit with the old toolbar last cycle08:31
pittilarsu: welcome back! we missed you08:31
seb128hey pitti, wie gehts?08:31
darkxsthey pitti08:31
larsupitti, thanks :)08:31
darkxstlarsu, but removing headerbars and keeping otherwise the same UI is like 5 lines of code08:33
larsudarkxst, it's not about the amount of code, it's about the loss of toolbar08:34
darkxstlarsu, the mac port may have lost the old toolbar now as well08:34
didrockshey hey pitti!08:35
darkxstlarsu, atleast from screenshots I was shown while you were away08:36
larsudarkxst, I know, and that's what my preferred solution is as well. But when we last discussed it, people were against it (understandably: it looses the toolbar for no real reason and people like it)08:37
larsu*loses08:37
darkxstlarsu, some people want the header bars!08:37
larsumany people don't.08:37
larsuand they still don't work properly in compiz/unity08:38
willcookehey larsu - welcome back!08:39
larsushadow is ok now, but no transparancy behind the corners08:39
larsuwillcooke, hi! Thanks. How are you?08:39
darkxstlarsu, isnt that just because .titlebar is set?08:39
seb128larsu, we have Trevinho in our team to fix issues now though ;-)08:39
willcookelarsu, good thanks!  Did you have an amazing time?08:39
larsuseb128, HAHAHAAHHHA08:40
seb128:-)08:40
larsudarkxst, hm? in which case?08:40
larsuwillcooke, yes. very much so08:41
darkxstthe cases where you see corners in the non-header bar-ed apps08:41
larsuwillcooke, a mixture of walking through rain forests, lying on beaches, onto volcanos, and drinking chile guaros08:41
larsudarkxst, no (and .titlebar is set)08:42
darkxstlarsu, oh you talking about using actual headerbars in unity?08:42
larsudarkxst, I thought you were talking about that...08:44
darkxstIve never actually trued that08:44
larsuin any case, even then we couldn't do it because LIM08:44
larsushowing the headerbar as a toolbar is very, very ugly08:44
larsuit works for some apps, but not gedit08:44
willcookeattente, did you hear that conversation between ted and Kaleo?  About gsettings access?08:46
* Laney gets the main GCC5 transition on his desktop09:02

Laneyalready had it on my laptop :P09:08
Laneyno drama09:08
Laney(boring)09:08

pittihey Laney, wie gehts? safe trip back?09:12
Laneydidrocks: my desktop was off :P09:12

Laneymore delays on the way back :)09:12
LaneyI had to do a late night diversion to my parents09:12
Laney(which is closer to London than my home)09:13
didrocksLaney: ah, I for a second thought you tricked me into upgrading first!09:13
didrocksargh on more delays :/09:13
Laneysomeone sent me into a queue which took 10 minutes09:15
* darkxst upgraded the puppies to gcc5 on the weekend for my party, they became normal and didnt try and eat the guests!09:15
Laney(the wrong queue it turns out)09:15
Laneyand I was less than 10 minutes late for the train09:15
Laneyannoying09:15
darkxst(real puppies at that!)09:17

Laneyah, you can tell there's a sprint going on09:24
Laneyweird out of context lines start appearing :P09:24
pittiLaney, didrocks: tried "caff" again, and it's an usability nightmare :/ do you have any tips to make that DTRT?09:25
pittiin particular, it asks for my passphrase on the command line for each key ID, and it throws me into an interactive "gpg>" prompt without telling me what to do09:26
didrockspitti: interesting about the passphrase, it only asked me once, I thought it was using an agent09:28
didrocksweird that it doesn't for you09:28
pittiwhat do you do in the gpg prompt?09:28
didrockson an how-to, I followed https://wiki.debian.org/caff09:28
didrocksjust type "save"09:29
LaneyI seem to not have it configured atm09:29
pittiah, -m yes09:29
pittinow I remember why I'm still using Keybuk's ancient signkeys.pl -- it just DTRT without any config09:29
didrocksyeah, you need to edit the config, but once done, it's quite nice09:32
pittihm, I don't get around the stupid "save" thing in interactive gpg09:37
pitti... or the "passphrase on every key"09:39
* pitti gives up and returns to signkey.pl, for the fourth time :/09:39

rickspencer3hi didrocks11:39
didrockshey rickspencer311:39
rickspencer3didrocks, so, I got an arduino, I can't remember if there is support in umake for it, though11:40
didrocksrickspencer3: the support is very limited, as it's just about installing the ide and put you in correct group, but yeah, it should work (I don't have one myself, so relying only on the written tests ;))11:41
didrocksrickspencer3: with latest version, it should just be "umake ide arduino"11:41
rickspencer3ok11:41
rickspencer3didrocks, will it work ok on 14.04?11:42

rickspencer3didrocks, so, it worked perfectly except for one small thing12:53
rickspencer3I needed to run sudo chmod a+xrw /dev/ttyUSB0 after connecting the arduino board12:54
rickspencer3I suspect that this is not totally a no-brainer to fix because it won't always be on ttyUSB012:54

ogra_arduino is for people that cant affort snappy boards, right ? :P12:56
rickspencer3ogra_, well, I met a lot of people recently who love arduino, so i wanted to see what it's all about12:57
rickspencer3but ...12:57
ogra_:)12:57
rickspencer3it seems like a BBB is much more capable12:57
ogra_yes, it is12:57
rickspencer3seems like arduino can only run one program12:57
rickspencer3and I have to write the program in their c language12:57
seb128willcooke, thanks12:58
ogra_the BBB is an actual computer ... arduino is just a microcontroller12:58
rickspencer3seems like arduino is just for hacking12:58
rickspencer3yeah, exactly12:58
rickspencer3ogra_, I wonder if it might be nice to have a post somewhere about when to use arduino vs. a BBB kind of thing?13:00
rickspencer3I ask because a lot of people asked me about why they would ever use snappy13:01
ogra_i bet there are 100s of such articles out there13:01
* ogra_ never googled though :) 13:01
rickspencer3they obviously never distributed apps, tried to interface with the devices, etc...13:01
ogra_rickspencer3, the point is that there is about 10x as much documentation and examples for arduino than you find for RPi and BBB together13:04
ogra_and it is cheap13:05
rickspencer3ogra_, not even to mention examples for snappy ;)13:05
ogra_all the five of them ?13:05
ogra_:)13:05
rickspencer3ogra_, but, well, I think many people just hack a device together for themselves, and never really worry about distribution, updates, etc...13:05
rickspencer3much less security13:05
ogra_yeah, thats the point13:06
ogra_my heating control doesnt have any security either :) ... my network does thogh13:06

Trevinhokirkland: you've to ensure you use the right settings profile, though15:07
kirklandTrevinho: nice -- could you help me with that?15:07
Trevinhokirkland: basically use something like gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/<plugin-name>, than tab-completion should help you15:08

kirklandTrevinho: okay, let me try a few things15:09
