[04:21] pleia2: ooh, the Ubuntu USB keys are cute! :) [04:22] Also, the OCLUG leader was surprised to hear that they were available finally and said "Well what are we waiting for? Let's buy a bunch so we can have them to give to new attendees!" [04:23] do they have 16.04.1? [04:23] DonkeyHotei, no the release canidate is not out yet and still being tested [04:24] but release team said they will probably respin everything tommorow [04:24] a bit early for the keys to ship, then [04:25] DonkeyHotei, yes the iso is not quite realeased yet [04:27] traditionally the CDs/DVDs have been the original release, not the .1 release [04:27] this is in keeping with that, but they had a lot of vendor problems with the USB sticks, hence their lateness, I'd prefer if they weren't delayed further [04:28] right, but they already waited this long… [04:28] resetting the clock at this point would likely mean we wouldn't get them until September [04:28] but they're still writeable, right? [04:29] sure, but Canonical isn't going to spend days reflashing hundreds of drives that were tested and shipped to them [04:29] that might take until September too :) [04:29] perhaps not, but locos and lugs could [04:29] I'm not [04:29] ^ [04:30] I can't make the time to flash and test every drive, I have a life and a job /o\ [04:31] i'd imagine most lugs would pass out few enough of them that it wouldn't take undue time, and certainly less time than discs [04:32] It takes about the same amount of time to burn a DVD and flash a USB drive. Except that flashing USB drives is far more manual unless you have a $15,000 duplicator. [04:33] pleia2: try to talk your job into letting you reflash USB keys as a 20% project! [04:33] yeah, I didn't burn DVDs either ;) [04:33] I would usually burn a max of 5 DVDs. ;) [04:33] nhaines: if we had 20% projects (we don't), I can think of about a million things I'd rather do :) [04:33] pleia2: it can be a pilot test. :) [04:34] The only reason I burn DVDs at all now is because I know a very nice old man who always says hi at SCALE and asks to be mailed DVDs because his bandwidth is too slow to download 32-bit ISOs. And even then he mostly mails blanks and SASEs to me, which is awfully nice. [04:41] I still do for my Lubuntu PPC mac [04:42] or if I'm doing ISO testing and for some reason the USB tools, partitioner and dd are misbehaving, but given all the options that's less common these days [04:44] https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html if you have problems booting usb for some reason this may be of use [04:44] Title: [Plop Boot Manager 5.0 - Download] [04:45] think it is x86 assembler so it doesn't work on powerpc [04:46] it's usually a problem with creating them, not booting them (and my ppc mac doesn't have the *ability* to boot from usb) [04:46] this lets you basically chainboot of the usbv [04:46] aha [04:55] pleia2: it can boot from ieee1394 [18:07] pleia2: I'm chatting with the Community Team about LoCo and community help, if you have comments or concerns. We're doing a hangout. [18:22] nhaines: thanks, I'd like to but my office is currently being occupied by someone fixing our printer, and then I have a work meeting [18:23] pleia2: Oh, I was just going to pass along anything you had to mention. :) [18:27] oh, heh :) [18:27] not prepared to articulate specific problems right now [18:29] pleia2: no worries! I should've given more notice. :) [19:17] pleia2: work items for everyone! \o/ [19:18] We've had positive results from the pilot test program, so we're going to be expanding Meetup.com sponsorship to any LoCo team who wants it. [19:18] lol [19:18] cool, will they fix billing? ;) still getting an error today [19:56] pleia2: yes, Michael is working on that. ;) [19:56] great
