I was looking for one to put onto the CDs we burn at release party ( I have a LightScribe drive and linux driver ) <genii-around> dscassel: Did you talk to the guy who makes the buttons? If you give me a price includes shipping I can send a money order to the Kwartzlab <dscassel> I dont' think there's an "official" narwhal. <dscassel> I have my own that I'm going to use for posters and CDs... <dscassel> http://ubuntuone.com/p/ie0/ :D <dscassel> But yeah, I talked to Ben. He needed to order parts for buttons, but they should be in now. <dscassel> I need to ping him again. I'll be in the lab to make some next Tuesday. <dscassel> (along with the IRC meeting) <genii-around> Cool <dscassel> I won't know how much shipping costs until I ship them, unfortunately. :) <genii-around> I usually use https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request to get a rough idea <genii-around> My postal code is m5a 4k5 #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-09 <becky> hi all, ubuntu on dell mini 10v....resolution used to be 1024x600 but something happened..now i get edid error and screen is 1024x768...no xorg.conf to edit in 10.10....any suggestions <becky> hi all, ubuntu on dell mini 10v....resolution used to be 1024x600 but something happened..now i get edid error and screen is 1024x768...no xorg.conf to edit in 10.10....any suggestions <bregma> becky, if you run "xrandr" on the command line, does it tell you 1024x600 is supported? <dbb_> oh hi - I meant to find California! but perhaps someone has an idea here... <dbb_> I have a new Ubuntu 10.10, I ran a long install script that installed a lot of packages, the repo is Mverick, but, openjdk-6-jre-headless wont complete the postinstall.. it just hangs <dbb_> if I kill dpkg, I cant install anything else until this is cleared up.. but running dpkg --configure -a just causes the jre postinstall to hang again <dbb_> so - how to get out of the situation ?? :-/ <dbb_> I just delete /var/lib/jvm <dbb_> at least it gets me out of that loop... <IdleOne> dbb_: #ubuntu-california or #ubuntu-us-ca either of those should work <dbb_> hah! <dbb_> hi IdleOne - my problems are universal <dbb_> ;-) <IdleOne> as for your support question I am not sure. perhaps try #ubuntu <dbb_> oh gee <dbb_> ant get anyone to bite eh? well things are unstuck with dpkg now <dbb_> I used the rip and slash methos and manually removed everything relatd to java, then purge purge <dbb_> its moving along again <IdleOne> glad you sorted it <dbb_> thx #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-10 <hakimsheriff> Hey Guys <dscassel> >_> <staticsafe> dscassel: hai <dscassel> Hi, staticsafe :) <staticsafe> dead channel is dead :( <dscassel> It comes and goes. :) <dscassel> It's a lovely day outside! <dscassel> Not that I've been outside much, but it still seems a waste to be goofing off on IRC. <staticsafe> agreed <staticsafe> i've been playing around with python all day <dscassel> Awesome. <dscassel> This is what I did this afternoon (aside from dishes, laundry, food, etc) http://ubuntuone.com/p/lzI/ <staticsafe> dscassel: ooh very nice <staticsafe> and the QR code is a nice touch as well <dscassel> Now I just have to get them up around town... :) <staticsafe> dscassel: what software did you use to make it? <dscassel> Inkscape. <dscassel> Inkscape rules. :) <staticsafe> dscassel: mind sharing the source file? I want to modify it for the toronto event :D <dscassel> Sure. http://ubuntuone.com/p/lzJ/ <staticsafe> thanks :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-11 * genii-around sips <dscassel> Morning, genii-around <dscassel> Er, afternoon, I suppose. <genii-around> Heh, yes :) <dscassel> Monday, at any rate. <dscassel> :P <dscassel> If anyone's interested, it's App Development Week in #ubuntu-classroom. <genii-around> I've been tinkering with the surveillance cams all morning, getting a bunch of crosstalk someplace :( Monday, Monday <dscassel> They're talking about GObjects or something at the moment. <dscassel> Are they wired or wireless? <genii-around> dscassel: Wired. But i converted them all from co-ax to be powered and send their signal over network cable instead. Probably the runs I have are too long or so <bregma> so you guys missed my most excellent talk on utouch? * genii-around hands bregma an apology-coffee <dscassel> I caught bits of the uTouch talk, but I'm supposed to be working... #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-12 * genii-around makes a fresh pot of strong Tuesday Morning Coffee <dscassel> Meeting in 3 minutes! <staticsafe> :O <dscassel> (I know people are probably too excited about leaders debates...) #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-13 <cyphermox> o/ <dscassel> Hi staticsafe, cyphermox <staticsafe> hey dscassel <cyphermox> hey dscassel <dscassel> Agenda (such as it is): http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/team/63/detail/ <genii-around> For anyone who saw my comment in #ubuntu-offtopic you may find this amusing: http://i52.tinypic.com/sopcah.png <staticsafe> genii-around: lol <genii-around> :) <dscassel> Mass call!

Feel free to say hello. <kenjy> whats up <kenjy> okay <kenjy> hello n.n <txwikinger> hello9 <dscassel> I'm Darcy, and I'm chairing this meeting. <dscassel> Hi, kenjy :) <cyphermox> hey, I'm Matt, spy from ubuntu-qc ;) <genii-around> Mike here, in Toronto <dscassel> cyphermox: The more the merrier. :) <cyphermox> indeed! * dscassel passes genii-around a coffee. <genii-around> dscassel: Thanks muchly! <genii-around> Work, back in a few minutes <dscassel> All right. #2 Release party! * genii-around sips his coffee <dscassel> So we're having one in Kitchener, on the 30th. <staticsafe> and one in Toronto on the 30th as well. :) <genii-around> staticsafe: Yes, that one I'm hosting <BobJonkman> That's too bad, if they're on the same day then I can't go to both <cyphermox> we'll be having one in Montreal, I think it's the 21st <dscassel> BobJonkman: On the other hand, if they're on the same day, we can have a big, trans-canada LAN party. :D <staticsafe> cyphermox: oo isn't that a bit early? <cyphermox> it is <genii-around> dscassel: Oooooo interesting. Like AccessGrid or so? <cyphermox> but we're trying to accomodate other people ;) <cyphermox> basically, one long-term member from Gaspesie will be around that week, so we hoped he could participate... plus this means now we could theoretically visit from montreal to toronto or ottawa if there's something there :) <dscassel> genii-around: Not familiar with AccessGrid. But OpenArena and Teeworlds are awesome. <genii-around> OK <dscassel> cyphermox: I haven't heard anything from Ottawa lately. <genii-around> dscassel: How does that get coordinated? <dscassel> I should poke those guys. <dscassel> genii-around: A friend of mine is putting a server together. <cyphermox> dscassel, just bringing it up in case <dscassel> I was hoping I'd have details for the meeting, but I think I'm going to have to send a message to the mailing list. <dscassel> I have a poster for Kitchener I need to get up: http://ubuntuone.com/p/lzI/ <dscassel> The source file is here: http://ubuntuone.com/p/lzJ/ (open in Inkscape) <dscassel> If you want to modify it for Toronto or Montreal. :) <dscassel> I'll have a lightscribe template for CDs soon too. Hopefully this weekend. <cyphermox> oh, sweet, tha\ <cyphermox> *thanks <genii-around> Nice :) <genii-around> I sent out emails to the listings page here for Now Magazine. Also the local LUG and Toronto FreeNet are helping to push the cause. <bregma> anyone know if there's a release party planned in Ottawa <dscassel> genii-around: Good idea. I'm a bit lax on getting event notices out to mainstream places. <dscassel> bregma: Don't think so. You should hold one. :) <dscassel> You just need a place to meet up with people. <bregma> I live isolated in the back woods :) <dscassel> bregma: There was a 10.10 release party, but the guy who organized it isn't on Ubuntu anymore. <ZykoticK9> dscassel, ;) <dscassel> Oh, hi, ZykoticK9 . :) <dscassel> ZykoticK9: <- the guy who organized it. :) <ZykoticK9> dscassel, i love the "free as in freedom cake" sounds delicious ;) <dscassel> Thanks. :D <dscassel> So, ZykoticK9, what's up with Ottawa? Is anyone else around who might take up th torch? <ZykoticK9> dscassel, not that i'm aware of - i was kinda hoping someone would, but I guess no takers so far :( <genii-around> oclug maybe? <genii-around> They advertise up to $500 for events promoting Linux :) <ZykoticK9> genii-around, several of the oclug board was at the last release party - but haven't heard any whispers about holding on for this release... <genii-around> Ah, OK <ZykoticK9> s/on/one <bregma> weird... can you ping them to ask about it? <dscassel> I can ask... <dscassel> I've been meaning to get ahold of CLUG (Calgary) as well... <dscassel> Just to say hi and what we're about. <dscassel> I'm going to be in Ottawa this summer sometime, hopefully (My sister lives there). <ZykoticK9> bregma, honestly, if you're interested in having a release party in Ottawa, but best advice would be to try an organize one yourself - it's not hard, just pic a location and send an email to the ubuntu-ca and OCLUG mailing lists and I'm sure people (probably myself included) would show up. <ZykoticK9> s/but/my * genii-around hands Jeruvy a coffee <Jeruvy> genii-around :thanks :) <genii-around> np <genii-around> Jeruvy: We are just discussing Canadian release parties for Natty * Jeruvy waves <Jeruvy> please continue. <genii-around> Jeruvy: Are you by any chance up around Ottawa way? <Jeruvy> Calgary <Jeruvy> 4500km away ;) <Jeruvy> or so <dscassel> Jeruvy: Do you have any contact with CLUG? <genii-around> dscassel: ^ <Jeruvy> dscassel: Not recently. I think I know where they meet still. <dscassel> Jeruvy: Interested in running a release party? Or even just an Ubuntu Hour? :) <dscassel> I know there are Ubuntu people in Calgary, but they don't seem to get together much. :) <dscassel> (Unless there's stuff going on I don't know about, which isn't unlikely) <Jeruvy> I know nothing of the process, but I could look into it. <dscassel> Jeruvy: It's easy. You can just do a little informal meetup at a restaurant/cafe/pub/etc. <dscassel> The only tricky part is getting the word out. And that's not so bad if there's an active LUG with a mailing list in town. <ZykoticK9> Jeruvy, honestly, if you're interested in having a Ubuntu Hour in Calgary, my best advice would be to try an organize one yourself - it's not hard, just pic a location and send an email to the ubuntu-ca and CLUG mailing lists and I'm sure people (probably not myself) would show up. <dscassel> :) <BobJonkman> Anyone from Hamilton? <genii-around> Jeruvy: Sort-of apologies for dragging you in to being volunteered ;) <Jeruvy> :) <dscassel> I just want ubuntu-ca to be more than Ontario. ^_^; <genii-around> I'm really surprised there's no Vancouver Ubuntu stuff that I can tell <dscassel> genii-around: Ubuntu Vancouver uses a (closed) meetup.com group. <dscassel> So there's no way to know what they're up to. <genii-around> Ah, OK <Jeruvy> well send me details in a email. I'll see when clug is meeting (usually the 2 or 3 wed. I think) <dscassel> Jeruvy: Cool. <Jeruvy> I can follow up that way. <Jeruvy> heatherjohnson@example.com <dscassel> Thankx. :) <BobJonkman> Jeruvy: Join the mailing list too: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca <genii-around> dscassel: If I send a money order for $50 should that be enough to send some buttons or so on down? <Jeruvy> BobJonkman: will do thanks. <dscassel> genii-around: That's way too much. But yeah, I'll be making buttons tonight if I can find the stuff. <genii-around> Cool <BobJonkman> Yay! I still have lots of room on my hat <genii-around> One of the units in this building i look after has a kitchen, we will have access to it that day. So the cupcakes will be *very* fresh. Also the coffee of which everyone knows I drink too much of :) <genii-around> dscassel: What kind of connection is tolerable for the LAN party? <dscassel> genii-around: I think it depends on the game. But I'm not sure. We have a decent commercial DSL connection here. <genii-around> ( the place has a Sympatico connection but I can also pull in a wire from here for a Rogers commercial hookup ) <dscassel> That would probably work better. :) * genii-around makes a note to run cables this week <dscassel> We're going to have people doing updates as well. <dscassel> But we're setting up an apt proxy thing to help with bandwidth. <genii-around> I have an old P3 I was going to hook up like last time to grab just the diffs for the iso. Hadn't thought about an apt-proxy but might also do that <Jeruvy> I thought you'd just download everything and then share it or burn it? <txwikinger> genii-around: don't if you do not want to get sued by Sony ;) <dscassel> I think we're using approx, not apt-proxy. Not sure what the difference is, tecnically. <genii-around> Oh, if anyone has interesting cupcake recipes feel free to email me at heatherjohnson@example.com <BobJonkman> Post them to the list! <genii-around> txwikinger: Pentium3 not PS3 :) But i understand <Jeruvy> thats what I thought was said. <dscassel> Well, it's 8. I'm going to wrap up unless anyone else has anything... <dscassel> Thanks, everybody. :) <dscassel> I'll send out a few emails and post LAN party details. <BobJonkman> Quiet night <Jeruvy> good to meet you all :) <bregma> everyone was hiding in case they were asked to organize something <genii-around> bregma: Probably :) <dscassel> Good to meet you too, Jeruvy :) <genii-around> I need to head home from work. Have fun! <genii-around> Bleh. http://www.ubuntutoronto.org/ seems to be about ergonomic chairs. <dscassel> The look like nice chairs... <genii-around> Heh <dscassel> Personally, I don't really want to maintain a separate website for ubuntu waterloo. <dscassel> And we can use all the help we can get on ubuntu-ca.org. :) <dscassel> (If we can get openid working again...) <genii-around> I don't know much about openid :( <dscassel> No worries. I'm sure txwikinger will sort it out. <dscassel> Or we'll switch authentication. :) <txwikinger> what do I sort out again? <dscassel> OpenID. <txwikinger> Ah yes <txwikinger> Well.. I can always enable local accounts <dscassel> Yeah... <dscassel> Sounding preferable at this point. <txwikinger> ok.. I can do that <txwikinger> Well.. actually you can do both atm <txwikinger> dscassel: What was the problem again? <dscassel> With what? Local accounts? <dscassel> I think the main problem is users that already exist as OpenID users. <txwikinger> Well.. you can login either with local account or with openid when it works <txwikinger> your choice <txwikinger> ah ok.. I can delete their openid * genii-around sips * genii-around sips #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-14 <genii-around> No one has sent me any cupcake recipes! * genii-around slurps * genii-around smurches <dscassel> Sadly, I don't have any cupcake recipes. :( <Jeruvy> evenin' <dscassel> Evening, Jeruvy <Jeruvy> Hows things dscassel? <dscassel> Pretty good. You just reminded me I need to send you and email. : <dscassel> :) <Jeruvy> I just returned from the pub after day one of Stanley Cup Playoffs. <Jeruvy> I'm confident Vancouver will pummel Chicago <dscassel> I'll take your word for it. :) <Jeruvy> The game was still going when I left so I'm fortelling. <Jeruvy> Van2-Chi0 <xskydevilx> How can I make an .ISO image of a DVD disc in Maverick? * genii-around sips <genii-around> Montreal vs Boston tonight :) <IdleOne> Does montreal have a chance? <IdleOne> s/m/M/ <IdleOne> I don't follow hockey <genii-around> I'd like to think they do. Just them and Vancouver now left as the Canadian teams <IdleOne> hypatia: Can you please get the folks at hacklab to work on making me a USB coffee maker. PLEASE!!!!!! <IdleOne> not warmer but a machine that makes coffee * IdleOne is so lazy <IdleOne> I don't even want to get up to get more coffee * genii-around thinks about RFC 2324 <KombuchaKip> Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo at our local farmer's market. https://frenchfortunecookie.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/learn-grow-share-ubuntu/ <dscassel> That's awesome, KombuchaKip. Are you planning on doing it again this year? <KombuchaKip> dscassel: I hope so. I am pretty tied up with the game, but Randall takes care of most of these things. We will be presenting to Earthsave soon though, which is a vegetarian / vegan society. #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-15 <Jeruvy> evening. <dscassel> Any thoughts on this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1722827 <genii-around> dscassel: Reply looks good. The Ubuntu Hour is a good start I think <dscassel> Yeah, definitely. <genii-around> Gotta go order lunch next door, back in a few * genii-around polishes off the last of his lunch and sighs contentedly <Jeruvy> Calgary, Alberta: Overcast and -2Â°C | Heat Index: NAÂ°C | Winds From the North at 12 MPH | Windchill: -8Â°C | Pressure: 30.12in/1020mb | Humidity: 80% | Dew: -5Â°C | Visiblity: 8.0km <Jeruvy> Anyone didn't get enough winter come to Calgary this weekend. :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-16 <dscassel> Thanks, Jeruvy, but I think I'll pass. <hypatia> quiet in here <genii-around> Yup <sor4you> hello <sor4you> anyone free? <KombuchaKip> Hey folks. For those interested in Avaneya, we have a channel #avaneya now. #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-17 <hakimsheriff> Hey Guys #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-18 <dscassel> Morning, all * genii-around makes a pot of coffee <genii-around> Interesting. My sister gave me some Canadian Tire money that looks pretty darn ancient. <genii-around> A couple of them say on the back "British American Bank Note Company Limited, Ottawa" <genii-around> According to http://corp.canadiantire.ca/EN/AboutUs/Pages/CanTireMoney.aspx most of them are from the 1962 series ( with the running tire on ) there is an early 70's 3-cent one, and a couple 1976 Olympic ones <hypatia> genii-around: wow, that's awesome <hypatia> and yeah, they are printed by the same printer as actual canadian money <genii-around> hypatia: Guess I'll hang onto them a while :) <dscassel> genii-around: It doesn't look like I'll be able to make and send off buttons in time for the release party. <dscassel> genii-around: If you can msg me your address, tho, I can send you what I have left from the first batch. <genii-around> dscassel: Ok <genii-around> Still no one has sent me any cupcake recipes :( <genii-around> I sent NOW Magazine an event listing but i don't see it on their online listings yet although it's been a while. Maybe i'll send another one this week, another one next week. #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-19 <ball> hypatia! <willwh> !! <willwh> howdy ball :) * genii-around makes a Tim Horton's coffee run. Also TimBits. #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-20 * genii-around sippity-sips #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-21 * genii-around sips <dscassel> People came around handing out chocolate in the office. <dscassel> But I can't have any. Stupid dietary restrictions. ;_; <genii-around> I'm allowed to have chocolate! <genii-around> There's other stuff I'm not supposed to touch though which is frustrating. Like salt and trans-fats. * genii-around pries the skin off his KFC and feeds it to the neighbour's dog #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-24 <Nonesthecool> so... the keys on my laptop stop working after login, but works when administrative password prompts pop up.

Thought about visiting Kitchener but pretty busy with Easter and my nephews <dscassel> I was out of town anyway. :) <genii-around> Ah <dscassel> Did you grow up in Cambridge? <genii-around> No. Mostly in London <dscassel> Ah. Cool. <genii-around> My mom found work in Cambridge and moved there a while ago. My sisters live in London, and Sarnia <dscassel> I'm a transplant in SW Ontario m'self. <dscassel> I grew up in Belleville (which is where I spent the weekend) * BobJonkman1 wonders if anyone from the KW area actually /is/ from the KW area <dscassel> BobJonkman1: I've met a few. But they do seem to be the exception rather than the rule. <BobJonkman1> Not me.... <BobJonkman1> Meaning, I'm from the KW area but not from the KW area also. <BobJonkman1> And if I've met anyone otherwise, I didn't know it. <BobJonkman1> (I think the weekend's overdose of chocolate must be fermenting in my brain) <dscassel> There are worse things... :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-26 <ball> Is there still an Ubuntu Netbook? <ball> (will there be for 11.4?) <genii-around> As I understand, the CD will try and determine the platform it's being installed to and install netbook version if appropriate <ball> genii-around: eww. <ball> Hello DavidLevin <ball> Gah, I'm going to have to crack the case on this box... can't seem to boot from USB <DavidLevin> Hello <ball> brb <robbie2685> hi there...did a clan install of ubuntu 10.10..im unable to customize my desktop..It says cannot customize desktop...I have Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller * genii-around sips #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-27 <ball> Hello DavidLevin <genii-around> dscassel: I messed around in Gimp and came up with what I'm using for the image now on the CDs :) http://imagebin.org/150433 <genii-around> Burning one right now to test <genii-around> As I also have a bunch of blue CDs I might do another set with Kubuntu logo in top left instead of the regular Ubuntu one <dscassel> genii-around: Cool. :) <dscassel> I just started burning CDs last night. <dscassel> Here's my design: http://ubuntuone.com/p/oyZ/ <dscassel> :D <genii-around> The lightscribe part is taking like 25-30 minutes each so I'm just cycling them all day here as i work <dscassel> Yeah, I don't know if I can get enough done in time. <dscassel> But I'll make as many as I can. We'll see. <IdleOne> genii-around: really like the maple leaf <genii-around> IdleOne: That's the Ubuntu Canada logo :) <IdleOne> never noticed it before I guess <IdleOne> it's cool <genii-around> I got that one from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dnoway/329157552/sizes/m/in/photostream/ after a google search <genii-around> dscassel: I got an email today confirming another 6 people. So if everyone shows that says they will, 17 or so, so far <genii-around> Hm. I may need more cupcakes <dscassel> genii-around: Awesome. :D <dscassel> There's also a version of the Ubuntu Canada Circle of Maple Leaves using the post-Lucid branding: http://ubuntuone.com/p/ozN/ <genii-around> The rains came and we got a mini-flood in the basement! Just finished squeegee-ing the last of it down the elevator pit. <bregma> hmm, looks like the power feed came in through the elevator pit... #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-28 <IdleOne> Hey folks thought you might be interested in knowing the Ubisoft in Montreal is looking for a Linux System Admin. update your C.V. and apply. <IdleOne> s/the/that/ <ravibn> I need help <ravibn> any one here Pl respond <bregma> man, people are so impatient <dscassel> bregma: It's a release! It's exciting. :) <dscassel> Is it just me or is http://ubuntu.com horribly broken, style-wise? <dscassel> On Firefox 4. <dscassel> And IE8. <dscassel> (Yeah, I know, heatherjohnson@example.com...) * genii-around sips <dscassel> And Chrome. <dscassel> Did they just test it on Safari? <genii-around> It looks OK here on my Kubuntu ff4, but what do i know <bregma> looks OK to me, firefox on natty <bregma> but I just managed to get a response <bregma> I guess they were a little hammered for a while <dscassel> Weird. I switched to my SSH tunnel and it's fine. <dscassel> Must be something they're blocking at the firewall here. <dscassel> *sigh* <cyphermox> dscassel, might be due to delays too, maybe the css timed out <dscassel> cyphermox: Yeah, it looks like it's my employer's fault, not Canonical. <dscassel> THey have a BlueCoat filter thingy that gets in the way sometimes. <cyphermox> ok * genii-around sips #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-29 * genii-around sips <genii-around> Bah. NOW Magazine pisses me off. I sent them 5-6 emails over 3-4 weeks with the Toronto party announcement. Still not listed. But they have other crap like "Pursuing God With U2 Six-week program on aspects of God in the music of U2 for adult spiritual formation." listed. <bregma> Hydro One assures me my power should be restored by tomorrow <genii-around> bregma: What happened? <bregma> we had Weather yesterday <bregma> winds of about 110 km/h <bregma> torrential rains <bregma> zombie invasions <bregma> OK, not zombie invasions <genii-around> Ah, OK. It came through here too. <bregma> I lost some of my favorite trees <bregma> I've had to come into town to use the library's internet (and power) <genii-around> That sucks :( <bregma> I gotta get me completely off-grid <bregma> I couldn't event make coffee this morning <genii-around> Bleh <bregma> and my wife missed the royal wedding <bregma> I need to make sure the propane tanks in my survival kit are full * genii-around thinks about royal zombie weather kings <willwh> hi guys :) <willwh> so who is running 11.04? <willwh> I fired it up in a Vbox here at work <willwh> first time, Unity failed to load on login <willwh> (so I went and enabled 3d acceleration & 2d, and 128mb memory for video) <willwh> however, when I log in with the "ubuntu" session - I'm still seeing the old style <willwh> anyone offer any advice? <willwh> I guess I may need vbox guest additions too <willwh> brb ;> <dscassel> I am! :D <dscassel> I'd google it. I think there's some hoops you have to jump through to get Unity running in vbox. * dscassel can't remember where he saw that. <willwh> dscassel: yeah - was just Vbox guest additions <willwh> up and running now <willwh> montor 1 = zenoss event console in chrome (windows) <willwh> monitor 2 = mail / IM's etc (windows) <willwh> montior 3 = 11.04 vbox :D <dscassel> genii-around: Be sure to take photos tomorrow! (and send them to me. :D) <genii-around> dscassel: Will do. No buttons came in mail yet... did you send them to my house or my work? <genii-around> I wonder how the Quebec party went <dscassel> I sent them to your house. <dscassel> I didn't get them in the mail until Thursday night, tho (fail, I know), which means Canada Post probably didn't pick them up until Tuesday. :( <dscassel> But them might be waiting for you tonight. <genii-around> OK < crosses fingers > <genii-around> My roommate might be in, I'll call him <genii-around> Meh. Didn't come in. Oh well, I'll have some for next heatherjohnson@example.com. <dscassel> Yeah. <dscassel> I was making a new batch last night. <dscassel> I'll have them at Toronto Mini-Maker Faire (next week!) if you can get out to that.. * dscassel should put that in the LoCo Directory... <genii-around> dscassel: hypatia I'm pretty sure is attending that. I'm not sure I can go, work is pretty damn busy. <genii-around> I could always pick them up at HackLab if she is agreeable to picking them up at Maker's Faire <Pringle> hello.. <Pringle> is anyone online here? <dscassel> Pringle: Yup. What's up? <dscassel> genii-around: Sure. I'll see if I can foist some on her. <Pringle> hold on a second <genii-around> :) <Pringle> my cat called me <dscassel> Pringle: Priorities. I understand. :) <dscassel> A little slow, but I get there in the end: http://www.ubuntu-ca.org/?q=node/343 <genii-around> Nice photo there <dscassel> Thanks. :D <genii-around> dscassel: I'm going to set up one an auxiliary cam to our surveillance system and broadcast tomorrow ... no audio though <genii-around> OK, for CDs now, I have: 13 32bit regular, 3 32bit alternate, 6 64bit regular, 3 64bit alternate. I'm not sure if that's enough or too many, or wrong mix or what. <genii-around> I might print off some more with logos but blanks in case <dscassel> genii-around: Awesome. <dscassel> Yeah, I'm going to have a bunch of blanks. #ubuntu-ca 2011-04-30 <genii-around> OK, cat5e is now ran over there! <BobJonkman> What are the Unity equivalents to Gnome panel applets?

We could use a 4th, or a 6th... <egerlach> Teeworlds Server: gerlach.ca Password: ubuntuincanada <egerlach> Teeworlds Server: gerlach.ca:8083 Password: ubuntuincanada <henrique> hey eric #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-01 <khoover> hey, if i rdesktop into a system, can I use devices plugged into the rd source on the rd destination? <mimcpher> khoover: by "source" do you mean the machine running rdesktop, and "destination" the one you're viewing? <mimcpher> khoover: either way, I don't think rdesktop does the USB forwarding stuff. <khoover> mimcpher yeah <khoover> didn't have much better terms for it other than client/server, didn't feel right <khoover> how would i forward a USB port, then? <mimcpher> khoover: use windows :P <khoover> -.- <khoover> the point of this is to avoid it <mimcpher> Or do usb forwarding over not-rdp <khoover> oh, no, the usb forwarding is a secondary bit. in essence, the drive with my music is hooked up to my windows computer, for ease of use on it, and I can rdp in whenever i need it. <khoover> and I want to sync a...*shudder*...iPod <khoover> so, was thinking, have the windows box pick up an iPod in a USB port here, then sync to it. <mimcpher> forwarding disks is possible <mimcpher> man rdesktop. <khoover> well. that works. <dscassel> Sup! <azend> <mimcpher> khoover: either way, I don't think rdesktop does the USB forwarding stuff. <azend> yes <azend> rdp does it but rdesktop does not <azend> <mimcpher> khoover: either way, I don't think rdesktop does the USB forwarding stuff. <azend> whoops <azend> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/rdesktop-usb-redirect-630349/ <azend> hmm <azend> actually this topic seems to be incorrect <azend> reading the rdesktop man page it seems to do a lot more <mimcpher> My understanding is along the lines of that page <mimcpher> (hence my quip to "use windows" -- since rdp, but not rdesktop, does it) <azend> yeah.. #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-02 <khoover> azend, mimcpher, you mean the -r flag in rdesktop wouldn't work? <mimcpher> khoover: well, that's a specific, small set of devices <mimcpher> khoover: vista/later allows arbitrary USB devices, and I mean rdesktop doesn't do that <khoover> mimcpher, you mean i couldn't forward an iPod using the comport option? <mimcpher> no <mimcpher> comport is for serial ports <mimcpher> which are not USB ports <khoover> ...then what the hell is the serial in USB for? <khoover> rhetorical question <mimcpher> comport means RS232-type serial <mimcpher> USB is serial :P <mimcpher> Just too serial. <khoover> :P <Cait> heyy <azend> The USB protocol is a bit intense :) #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-04 <genii-around> Just posted the Toronto release party, http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1659/detail/ * genii-around sips #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-05 <dscassel> Ship-it CDs ordered. :D <genii-around> Cool <johanbr> oh, I thought I read somewhere ship-it was discontinued... <dscassel> LoCo teams are the only ones who can get CDs. <dscassel> (unless you go to UDS or something) <dscassel> (or buy them, I guess) <dscassel> And we're a LoCo team! Woo! So I can order them. <dscassel> If you want to run an event (ubuntu hour, release party, whatever), I'll send you some. <dscassel> Otherwise, I distribute them to places like Linuxcaffe in Toronto, hackerspaces or the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club (they're across the street from where I work, after all). <mimcpher> and the CSC loves you for it :) <johanbr> dscassel, ah I see... good work! <johanbr> out of curiosity, how quickly do the CDs disappear? <mimcpher> CSC gives out a few CDs a week <mimcpher> more at the start of term when students want a linux install for some class <dscassel> johanbr: I still have a few 11.10 CDs. Not many, but I've never actually managed to get rid of all of them in a cycle. <dscassel> I suspect that will change in 12.04./ <dscassel> mimcpher: Yay! <dscassel> BobJonkman probably has a few left too... <willwh> wow <willwh> hey guys <willwh> I didn't know about xrdp, why didn't anyone tell me? :D <willwh> work just got a WHOLE LOT easier \o/ <azend> what ever happened to Ubuntu dropping Xorg for wayland by 12.04? <prenzip> Hey #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-06 <mimcpher> azend: Wayland is available in 12.04! It's really not ready yet, though. <mimcpher> I'm going to spend some of my free time this summer working on Wayland <azend> Yeah I heard that <azend> I'm just more surprise that there hasn't been more talk about it lately <azend> <mimcpher> I'm going to spend some of my free time this summer working on Wayland <azend> awesome <johanbr> azend, I don't think Wayland is even close to being ready for replacing xorg <azend> johanbr: I'm sure it isn't <azend> that's why I haven't tested it out yet <mimcpher> GTK3 stuff is starting to work on it. <mimcpher> Get Firefox, a decent terminal emulator, and a PDF viewer? Then I'm 80% of the way ready to switch. <trifolio6> hola <DarwinSu1vivor> anyone know if they've changed their mind about supporting remote-x? That's a no-go feature requirement on my end. <mimcpher> What do you mean by supporting remote-X? They want some remote protocol, but it won't be X. <mimcpher> Supporting X as a remote protocol would just be dumb. <mimcpher> The whole point of the project is to kill X with fire: It makes a bad local display because of too many layers of indirection, and it makes a bad remote protocol because it's performance sucks. <DarwinSu1vivor> mimcpher: if it's not compatible with X, it's going to take a LONG time to catch on, event if Canonical pushes it. <mimcpher> DarwinSu1vivor: you can run X on top of wayland for compat purposes, locally. <DarwinSu1vivor> The only workaround I've seen so far resembles RDP which is NOT a solution <mimcpher> Remoteness hasn't been solved, but it's not at that stage. <DarwinSu1vivor> at this point remote-x is a very well established standard. even the n810 can run apps from remote machines (though not in revers oddly enough) <mimcpher> It can do VNC too! <mimcpher> Arguably even better established. <mimcpher> not that VNC is particularily good -- it's a pretty naive protocol. <DarwinSu1vivor> vnc is not much better than rdp. I don't want to view the entire desktop to run 1 applications. <DarwinSu1vivor> brb <mimcpher> Well, vnc is worse than rdp in most ways :P <mimcpher> Viewing the entire desktop versus individual apps is an orthogonal, implementation-dependent problem though. <DarwinSurvivor> I *much* prefer individual apps over entire desktops. uses less bandwidth and allows me to use MY window manager :D <mimcpher> Right, but that's completely seperate issue. You can have a VNC client that only forwards 1 app <mimcpher> Anyways, this is a silly theoretical argument since nobody's made a wayland remote server yet :P <DarwinSurvivor> lol, very true <DarwinSurvivor> and also one of the reasons I'm not holding my breath for it. <DarwinSurvivor> :P #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-07 <prenzip> hi <mimcpher> hi! <prenzip> whatsup mimcpher <prenzip> what part of canada are you mimcpher <mimcpher> Ontario <prenzip> I have some minerals from Ontario area <prenzip> I collect these things from all over the world:) <prenzip> Damn connection <prenzip> Anyways , http://postimage.org/gallery/idu49t4/ <prenzip> Heres a portion of my collection <prenzip> all of these are from Ontario area <prenzip> mimcpher have you see any of these in your parts? <mimcpher> What is the third one, labelled 123787? <mimcpher> I have seen Zircon but not the others <prenzip> thats Magnetite <prenzip> from Hastings County <mimcpher> my grandparents lived in that county for a long time <prenzip> were they involved in mining? <prenzip> That sample was found near Marmora <mimcpher> Nope. Farmers. <mimcpher> I do have a lot of friends involved with mining, though <mimcpher> One is currently doing exploration drilling in Manitoba #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-08 <Jamesst20> Ho <Jamesst20> Hi * <mimcpher> Hello! <Jamesst20> Hey how are you :) <mimcpher> fantastic <Jamesst20> awesome :) <Jamesst20> I was wondering if I could get a Ubuntu disc :) ? #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-10 <bjonkman> ? <dscassel> Decisions, decisions. <dscassel> bjonkman: Would you be interested in giving me a lift to the Toronto release party? <dscassel> My other option is going to watpy and handing out CDs to promote the Kwartzlab party... :D <cpbell> So many release parties, so little time. ;-) <BobJonkman> Always remember, never forget: IRC chat tonight in three hours! <BobJonkman> IRL at Kwartzlab in Kitchener, if I'm not mistaken. <DarwinSurvivor> anyone know the subject of the chat? or is it another ubuntu-canada general meeting? <BobJonkman> Are we here yet? <BobJonkman> DarwinSurvivor: It's a general meeting; agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-04-10 <BobJonkman> Here we go... #ubuntu-ca 2012-04-11 <BobJonkman> You here to get the ball rolling, dscassel? <BobJonkman> Roll call! kavurt johanbr 36DAA3TGU DarwinSurvivor FiReSTaRT pangolin azend mars khoover bilal KombuchaKip bregma cpbell Jeruvy lubotu1 egerlach dscassel mimcpher cyphermox zul Kulag jlamothe willwh sipherdee james_w jaguar- txwikinger <BobJonkman> agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-04-10 <BobJonkman> 19:55 <BobJonkman> By way of introduction, I'm Bob Jonkman, your temporary fill-in host for this evening's meeting <BobJonkman> I'm an Ubuntu enthusiast in Elmira, just north of Waterloo, ON <mimcpher> I'm mimcpher, and I run an Ubuntu mirror located in Waterloo, ON <BobJonkman> Hi there, mimcpher! <BobJonkman> Did you get your Ubuntu CDs replenished? <mimcpher> yeah, dscassel dropped off a stack <BobJonkman> Should be some fresh ones coming out in a few weeks <BobJonkman> Have I ever met you (mimcpher) at an Ubuntu Hour ? <mimcpher> Since I've never been to one, i'd assume No. <BobJonkman> :) <Lipeolive> Hi to all. <BobJonkman> There's two coming up in KW in short order: Last Friday's one was postponed for Good Friday, now being held on Friday the 13th. <BobJonkman> Hi Lipeolive: Glad you could make it <BobJonkman> Kitchener Ubuntu Hour: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1610/detail/ <BobJonkman> Followed hot-on-the-heels by Waterloo's Ubuntu Hour, next week Wednesday: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1622/detail/ <BobJonkman> There's another couple of Ubuntu Hours in Quebec listed on the Google calendar <mimcpher> Hmm, I might be able to hit the Wednesday one. <BobJonkman> Walking distance to UofW <BobJonkman> I'm curious if the two Ubuntu Hours on the calendar are still being held. Can anyone from Quebec verify? <BobJonkman> It'd be great to have a few more Ubuntu Hours across the country. <BobJonkman> All it takes is for someone to say "I'm having an Ubuntu Hour", then go hang out somewhere at a coffee shop, lunch counter or bar for an hour or so. <BobJonkman> If you promise to send him pictures, then dscassel will send you some original Ubuntu CDs to hand out. <mimcpher> Does anyone KW around have an Ubuntu banner or something? <BobJonkman> txwikinger has a banner <bilal> So, is the KW chapter officially the most active chapter of Ubuntu Canada? :) <BobJonkman> We got it for the GNU/Linuxfest in 2010, or maybe 2009 <BobJonkman> It doesn't see much use <charm> Bob we should borrow it for SoftwareFreedomDay.... <BobJonkman> Hi bilal! There's a pretty active chapter in Vancouver. <BobJonkman> Nice to see you, charm1 <chaslinux> oops old nick <BobJonkman> And nice to see you too, chaslinux * BobJonkman will do anything to boost meeting attendance <BobJonkman> bilal: The Vancouver chapter has their own LoCo <chaslinux> We just need to plan more in advance and find some activities to make it more fun. <BobJonkman> As does Quebec <chaslinux> Maybe a computer smash... sledgehammer... but we might need to look into liability, etc... <BobJonkman> chaslinux: making Software Freedom Day more fun, you mean <bilal> BobJonkman: Yeah, I know that, and rrnwexec heads it I guess <BobJonkman> A computer smash does sound like fun. <BobJonkman> Can't get more free from computers than that <chaslinux> Printer smash maybe... we have a lot more printers and they're worth a whole lot less... <BobJonkman> chaslinux hosts this Friday's Ubuntu Hour, BTW... <BobJonkman> Speaking of fun... <BobJonkman> There be parties! <BobJonkman> Ubuntu Release Parties! <chaslinux> Yes, Friday the 13th... remind me tomorrow I should make a poster or something.... <BobJonkman> The next Ubuntu Release is coming out on 26 April, and I hear genii-around is planning a party in Toronto that night <BobJonkman> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/1659/detail/ <BobJonkman> There was talk on the mailing list about another Toronto party, organized by Sammy Lao of FreeGeekToronto <BobJonkman> But this might be the same one. <BobJonkman> I'm planning on travelling to Toronto for that, leaving from Kitchener around 6:00pm. I'll have room in my car for two passengers, if anyone is interested. <chaslinux> What day of the week is that Bob? <mimcpher> I might want to attend. <BobJonkman> I think dscassel called dibs around 10:00am for one spot <chaslinux> hmmmn... so no party here?? <BobJonkman> The Toronto party is on Thursday the 26th. <BobJonkman> There's a Kitchener party at Kwartzlab (the local hackerspace) on Saturday the 28th <BobJonkman> Starts at 2:00pm, doesn't end until dscassel throws me out <BobJonkman> Ubuntu Release Parties are only slightly more involved than Ubuntu Hours. <BobJonkman> You simply declare you're having one, find a venue, and invite hundreds of your best friends and strangers :-) <BobJonkman> Kwartzlab goes all out, with cake and devilled eggs and pizza, but it can be as simple as a couple of buddies sharing a single cup of coffee and asking "So what's a Pangolin anyway?" <BobJonkman> At Kwartzlab we'll have an installfest. Being a hackerspace there's lots of tech support <pangolin> Well, I'm a father of two and separated. I like Ubuntu and pasta. Pizza is top 5. <pangolin> :) * BobJonkman no longer wonders what a Pangolin might be... <BobJonkman> Hi pangolin! <pangolin> Glad i could clear that up <pangolin> hello BobJonkman and everybody! <bregma> I'll ask the usual question: are people running 12.04 yet? <mimcpher> I've got two systems running 12.04 so far. <pangolin> I have for about a month or so <mimcpher> upgrading the rest after exams. <BobJonkman> I have an aborted install on a semi-broken laptop. Doesn't count. <BobJonkman> I'll be upgrading three servers to Ubuntu 12.04 Server Edition, probably the Sunday after the release party <BobJonkman> If anyone else is planning a Release Party, or even if you have one at the last minute, let me know and I'll add it to the list at http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca <BobJonkman> It's a short list, right now <BobJonkman> Having these events listed on the LoCo calendar is useful for ... <BobJonkman> LoCo Renewal! <BobJonkman> (which happens to be the next thing on the Agenda) <BobJonkman> dscassel was saying that we need to have Team Reports to help us qualify for renewal. <BobJonkman> The questions on the agenda are the ones I put there, so I don't know the answers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2012-04-10 <chaslinux> Bob we should really have some always on machine in the shop dedicated to events, etc... kinda like the twitter ticker in @kwartzlab... <BobJonkman> That's a good idea. <BobJonkman> Keep an eye on the RSS feeds, the calendar events, the idle chatter in this room... <BobJonkman> :D <BobJonkman> Some of the renewal questions I was asking are: <BobJonkman> What is the deadline for renewal? <BobJonkman> What is the actual renewal process? Who has to push what paper? <BobJonkman> And do we have a volunteer to do Team Reports? dscassel is pretty full with Kwartzlab and other local stuff <chaslinux> We could make it a part of the new guy's duties (Ade is his name)... he's on a Trios placement so we have him for a couple of heatherjohnson@example.com. <BobJonkman> Yay! We have a volunteer! <BobJonkman> There's a guide to preparing Team Reports at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/TeamReporting/HowTo <BobJonkman> Team Reports need to be done back to November 2011. Most of the stuff can be taken from the LoCo calendar and old meeting minutes <BobJonkman> I was going to have a look at those pages, but if we have a warm body at Computer Recycling that'd be great! <BobJonkman> Finally, I was hoping txwikinger would be able to grant someone access to update http://ubuntu-ca.org <chaslinux> Hmmn... perhaps, not sure if he'll be capable since he has 0 Linux experience. <BobJonkman> The Team Reports are administratium. <BobJonkman> A bit of Wiki skills required. Learn those on the job. <chaslinux> Yeah, good for his resume too.... <BobJonkman> No actual PC building or OS installation necessary for TeamReports. <chaslinux> But that's the fun part... ;-) <BobJonkman> Yeah, it's great resume material. "Contributed to the Canadian Local Community Ubuntu Team - here's a link..." <chaslinux> Well I need to stop looking at a screen... see you in the morning Bob. <chaslinux> Night all... <BobJonkman> So, if someone sees txwikinger... It would be good to have http://ubuntu-ca.org updated with the current release party info <BobJonkman> Good night chaslinux. <BobJonkman> And that just about concludes the meeting hour. <bilal> Thank you BobJonkman for chairing! <BobJonkman> You're welcome1 <BobJonkman> ! <BobJonkman> Hope to see you at one of the local Ubuntu Hours <BobJonkman> Or the Release Party for sure! <bilal> Kinda unlikely since I'm really busy for most of the day, either on school work or Canonical work <bilal> But yeah, would be great! * bilal might come to the release party <BobJonkman> Yay! <willwh> hi guys sorry am late <willwh> :) <willwh> I am also running 12.04 <willwh> on the laptop and some VMs at work <BobJonkman> Hi willwh.
