<az7> chat night!
<kwadroke> pretty quiet in here
<az7> looks like it
<kwadroke> we it tonight?
<az7> good question?
<kwadroke> guess so
<kwadroke> got some lurkers, but looks like we're the only active ones
<kwadroke> well, I'm kinda active :)
<az7> only slightly active
<Ahmuck> ya!
<az7> YES !
<kwadroke> got someone else
<kwadroke> so what's everyone up to?
<az7> not so much
<kwadroke> not a whole lot here either
<Ahmuck> just waiting for weather
<kwadroke> we're out of weather
<kwadroke> ran out
<kwadroke> it's on backorder
<Ahmuck> heh
<Ahmuck> ur to dry?
<kwadroke> they shipped us heat instead
<kwadroke> pretty dry
<Ahmuck> same here. cracks in the ground a quarter size wide
<Ahmuck> "size of a quarter"
<kwadroke> not quite that dry here
<kwadroke> would anyone be interested in a Gaming LiveDVD?
<kwadroke> I'm thinking about working on one again
<az7> sure?
<kwadroke> mostly to be used for lan parties
<kwadroke> fps's, 3ps's, racing games, etc
<kwadroke> I did one before, but didn't distribute it much
<kwadroke> there's one based on Arch, but Arch can be a pain
<kwadroke> I'm wanting to do a Linux LAN party sometime in the future
<kwadroke> if there's enough interest that is
<kwadroke> may make it a online event
<az7> that'd be pretty sweet
<kwadroke> checking out mumble for it right now
<kwadroke> has anyone used mumble?
<az7> haven't actually, sorry
<az7> just the humble indie bundle (speaking of linux games)
<kwadroke> It's like Ventrillo/TeamSpeak. may include some of the FLOSS games from HIB on the DVD
<az7> ah, gotcha
<kwadroke> mumble.sourceforge.net
<kwadroke> http://mumble.sourceforge.net
<kwadroke> talk to you guys later. time for bed.
<Ahmuck> back today, finally, and awake !
<kwadroke> I'm back, just not awake
<kwadroke> :P
<Ahmuck> heh, a good cup of copy coffee fixed me.
<kwadroke> I wish I was asleep anyway
<Ahmuck> how's things going?  looks like i'll be in AR soon :)
#ubuntu-us-ar 2011-07-07

#ubuntu-us-ar 2011-07-12
<kwadroke> chat night tonight
<Ahmuck> gotcha
<Ahmuck> moving cattle this evening
<Ahmuck> btw, is there a way to chroot wine?
<kwadroke> I suppose, never tried it
<kwadroke> would make it safer
<kwadroke> looks like people do it
<kwadroke> mostly for 64bit linux
<Ahmuck> u have a link.  my google skills didn't turn anything up

<Ahmuck> chat night!
#ubuntu-us-ar 2011-07-20
<r2d2rogers> here for chat night ....
<r2d2rogers> in arkansas actually
<kwadroke> I'm here too
<kwadroke> for thr most part anyway
<r2d2rogers> cool, I was just debating a run for ice cream
<kwadroke> so what's everyone up to?
<r2d2rogers> just looking at r2d2 sounds for my android phone...
<r2d2rogers> I thought I was past due ....
<kwadroke> Is it a Droid?
<r2d2rogers> nope, Captivate... but still
<r2d2rogers> I figure I can play as I have the nick...
<r2d2rogers> Looks like the Icecream is winning... I'll be back later.
<kwadroke> ok
<kwadroke> get me some too :)
<Ahmuck> will be next week
<kwadroke> sure about that?
<kwadroke> any one running the alpha yet?
<r2d2rogers> nope, I'm still iffy on some parts of 10.04
<r2d2rogers> I'm back on windows for my day job now too :|
<kwadroke> i haven't either
<r2d2rogers> on google plus yet?
<Ahmuck> yes, will be in AR next week :)
<Ahmuck> nite
<r2d2rogers> Ahmuck: wjhat part?
<kwadroke> Yeah, I on G+
<r2d2rogers> the ios app came out today
<r2d2rogers> one of my coworkers was saying that what the last thing he was waiting for to move off facebook entirely
<kwadroke> hopefully it will be open to the public soon
<r2d2rogers> 33ec:265c:71fe:e26d:2682:4ec2:aaa1:99abNods33ec:265c:71fe:e26d:2682:4ec2:aaa1:99ab
<Ahmuck> r2d2rogers: clarksville, ozark, lamar, rogersville
<r2d2rogers> Ahmuck: I've just moved to Conway
<Ahmuck> er, sorry russelville
<r2d2rogers> lol
<Ahmuck> kewl, thinking about trying to get NWALUG going again
<r2d2rogers> that makes more sense
<r2d2rogers> yeah I keep hoping for one of the tech groups here in Conway to kick off
<Ahmuck> NWA has large enough communities that each community could hold it's own
<Ahmuck> We've been running NCKLUG here in NCKansas
<Ahmuck> however most of our towns are 1400 people at thier largest
<Ahmuck> average
<Ahmuck> and distances are often 2 hours between groups.  imho, NWA has plenty of linux opportunity
<r2d2rogers>  agree
<r2d2rogers> I would think Little rock would have more activity too
<kwadroke> LR did have activity
<kwadroke> it died out. so did conway
<kwadroke> well, I'm out
<Ahmuck> I need two Linux Kernel Driver Developers in Austin for long term contract that pays 60-70 per hr... I can be reached at rhonda96@example.net
#ubuntu-us-ar 2011-07-22
<krakrjak> So is Natty a bad Ubuntu release or the worst Ubuntu release?
<kwadroke> not sure, I switched to Lubuntu
<kwadroke> why? having problems?
<krakrjak> Well there is at least one HUGE showstopper that cost me a couple of days.
<krakrjak> Natty cannot boot (even though it's grub2) from a mirrored boot.
<krakrjak> so if you want an mdadm raid1 for /boot to store kernels and boot loader you can do that.
<krakrjak> You just can't actually get it to boot.
<krakrjak> It's a bug in the version of grub they pulled post squeeze release from Debian.
<krakrjak> when the debian tree is the most volatile.
<kwadroke> ah
<krakrjak> Unity is also crap.  Thankfully I'm a KDE SC user so no biggie there.
<kwadroke> then hopefully there will be a patch soon
<krakrjak> weyland is not as stable as the xorg servers.
<krakrjak> The bug is marked as critical and has been since before the release and there is no patch yet.
<kwadroke> I switched before unity came out
<kwadroke> grab a deb from debian maybe?
<krakrjak> Unity is nifty and I've heard that Unity+Compiz is actually quite nice to use.
<krakrjak> maybe
<krakrjak> not possible when you can't boot
<krakrjak> I punted and made two partitions and instead of RAIDing them wrote some hook scripts to sync the partitions when new kernels are installed.
<krakrjak> Also the version of arno-iptables that was sync'd from Debian post release is also broken and the ipv6 support just doesn't work.  Works in Debian squeeze just fine on dual-stacked hosts.
<kwadroke> is it hardware or software raid?
<krakrjak> software
<kwadroke> oh, yeah mdadm
<krakrjak> that really doesn't mean as much as it used to.  mdadm raid can be hardware raid now.
<krakrjak> they added support for the integrated intel controllers to manage them under mdadm.
<krakrjak> also many of the HP controllers can be managed with mdadm now.
<kwadroke> cool
<krakrjak> How's Lubuntu?
<kwadroke> only times I messed with it was for software raid
<kwadroke> works pretty well more me. the grub issue would still exist on it too since it's based off of ubuntu
<kwadroke> I got tired of the gnome bloat
<kwadroke> lxde is a lot lighter weight
<krakrjak> oohh and one more bug.  Was fixed with an update last week.  haskell-platform wasn't installable.
<krakrjak> I've heard that lxde is nice.
<krakrjak> I'm just too hardcore KDE to go to anything else these days.
<krakrjak> Clementine instead of Amarok.
<kwadroke> I left kde back in the 3.5 days
<kwadroke> when ubuntu 5.04 came out
<krakrjak> 3.5...  that's too bad.  You got to miss out on the broken 4.0/4.1/4.2 releases.
<krakrjak> 3.6,7,8,9 were all good solid releases and when I really fell in love with KDE.
<kwadroke> only reason I used kde was that's what Knoppix used at the time
<krakrjak> I switched to it from blackbox/afterstep/gnome 1.x
<kwadroke> and there wasn't a whole lot of differences between kde & gnome at that time
<krakrjak> I liked those, but they lacked the tweakability.
<kwadroke> kde had tweakability
<krakrjak> I hear that from a lot of people, but I find gnome to be limiting in that you can't change the behavior of the gnome-shell without modifying code in many cases.
<kwadroke> but that eventually made me want to switch to something simplier
<kwadroke> never used gnome shell
<kwadroke> I got tired of customizing when I have several pcs, so gnome felt like a better fit
<kwadroke> I can do a lot of customizing with lxde/openbox if I want
<kwadroke> I got to the point of basically building my own lxde
<kwadroke> but it started overlapping too much so I just converted it back
<krakrjak> I have found that I just need to make the customizations and replicate my .kde directories that have configurations I want to the systems I'm using KDE on.
<krakrjak> That works out well and fits the model I use for my skel
<krakrjak> https://www.gitorious.org/krakrjak-skel
<kwadroke> good idea
<krakrjak> I just keep a git repo of program customizations and pick the parts I want for target systems.  So I can do the customizations once and have then anywhere I want.
<krakrjak> Well, I'm going AFK for a bit.  Time to leave work.  TTYL
 * krakrjak waves
<kwadroke> most of my systems are for different things so that wouldn't work for me
<kwadroke> yeah, I'm out too. gota go to LR
<krakrjak> it might for just shell customizations.
<krakrjak> have a safe trip
<kwadroke> ?me waves back
 * kwadroke waves back
<kwadroke> cya later

<az7_> np, theres still irc as well
<a_unix_geek> kk, off to the sack - gnight

#ubuntu-us-ar 2012-07-04
<TommyT> here now
<TommyT> I suppose you are wondering why I called this meeting.
<TommyT> I see NOTHING in the logs for weeks. I'm still not even seeing this, so either there's a delay or the ubuntulog bot is down.
<TommyT> I tried talking to the bot and it didn't respond. I thought it used to at least say "Hey I'm a bot" or something.
<JonathanD> Hey TommyT
<TommyT> howdy
<TommyT> I was just checking the logs. REALLY quiet
<TommyT> TOO quiet
<TommyT> OK now I see the logs. I guess NOBODY has been here much over the past month. I've been having a little chat with ChanServ. r2d2rogers is the "founder" of the channel so I will try to come back when he's around.
<TommyT> good night!
#ubuntu-us-ar 2013-07-14
<TommyT> greetings
<TommyT> I'm just knocking over a few irc trees to see if ubuntulog2 makes a sound
<TommyT> if ubuntulog doesn't log any activity does that mean there was no sound?
<TommyT> or no chat
#ubuntu-us-ar 2013-07-31
<TommyT> chat night
<TommyT> the room gets so crowded on Tuesdays
<TommyT> good night
