#ubuntu-ca 2011-06-01 <BluesKaj> Hi all <bregma> mornin' <bregma> today is aiming to be another melter <bregma> there wasn;t event mist on the fields at sunrise <bregma> my swimming pool is still a stanky morass of green algae <bregma> here come the bucketloads of harsh chmicals <bregma> hopefully with all the rain last month I won;t draw down the well trying to top up the pool <BluesKaj> nice and clear , but windy here , quite a T-storm last evening heavy rain for an hr couldn't see across the street ...predicted large hail so we got off lucky <bregma> we just had wilting heat followed by waves of mosquitoes after sunset <bregma> now a flock of wild turkeys just flew into the trees outside my window * genii-around makes more coffee! <dscassel> genii-around: Morning. <dscassel> genii-around: I ended up talking to a bunch of Free Geek Toronto guys on Saturday at BobJonkman's Ubuntu Hour in Toronto. <dscassel> They're quite eager to help build up a Toronto Ubuntu Group, and willing to open their space up for things like the Global Jam... <bregma> nice <dscassel> I'm trying to get them on the mailing list and IRC. :) <genii-around> Yeah the guys at Free Geek are pretty heavy into *buntu <genii-around> dscassel: Did you meet Ushnesh? He is also on the Toronto FreeNet board <dscassel> Yeah, he was there. I'm told he's their go-to organization and networking (in the real-life social sense) guy. <dscassel> Also met Rone Borland, who introduced us. <dscassel> And another guy (Delray?) who took all my stickers. :) <genii-around> Hehe <genii-around> I dropped a couple sets of CDs to the FreeNet office, I'll probably be at Free Geek either this Sun or the following Sun, there are 3 of us working on a small clustering project down there but i haven't had much time to go <dscassel> Cool. :) <genii-around> Bleh. They had a promotional thing in one of the empty units here yesterday where they gave away 6-packs of pineapple-mandarin orange vodka coolers. They left behind 105 6-packs though. <bregma> full or empties? <genii-around> bregma: Full <genii-around> bregma: I packed them up now on a big industrial dolly we have here, wheeled it all into the office of the woman who organized the event. Maybe they'll let everyone in the building divvy it up... <genii-around> "Palm Bay - Sophisticated Vodka Cooler With The Essence Of The Tropics ... With Pineapple and Mandarin Orange!" is all 6-packs of cans packed in flats of 4 sixpacks each <bregma> target-marketing liquor at children ... they should offer candy-flavoured smokes to go with each sixpack <genii-around> Heh, probably. This stuff actually tastes like orange Fanta or Crush. <genii-around> What I'm actually thinking is: 630 cans at 10 cents return rate at the Beer Store is $63 <bregma> it's just a matter of draining them, somehow, without acquiring diabetes #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-02 <Bloodflame> hellooooo <BluesKaj> Hiyas <bregma> much coller this morning <bregma> *cooler* <bregma> had to wear a jacket while walking the dog <BluesKaj> did the dog shiver ?:) <fatrixkid24> hey people #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-03 <bregma> cool again this morning, but the dog was unwell after eating too much ick yesterday and we didn;t go for a walk <BluesKaj> Hiyas <dscassel> Morning. :) * genii-around slides dscassel a large mug of coffee <dscassel> genii-around: Thanks. :) <naijaura> i love ubuntu #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-04 <BluesKaj> howdy <bregma> much warmer today, did 10 km with the dog this morning <BluesKaj> raining and Tstorms here , but supposed to clear this aft ...got all the yardwork and trimming done in time yesterday ..relaxing today <genii-around> If anyone feels like putting in a good word for me on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kaulbach , I am applying for Ubuntu Membership at the next IRC Council meeting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/MeetingAgenda <staticsafe> :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-05 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <bregma> cool and overcast this morning, wife took the dog out for a walk (ok, what does she want?) <BluesKaj> clear and sunny here , but a heavy dew ...was a cool night ...up to 26C this aft .. <dscassel> My lawn's a bit of a jungle.

I have the privilege of retirement , but the bones and joints that come with it , so it's not that much fun <bregma> indeed <BluesKaj> doing yardwork that is <dscassel> Morning, all. <TooMany_Daves> Morning <dscassel> TooMany_Daves: Personal question, but you're the Diyode Dave, right? :) <TooMany_Daves> oh hi <TooMany_Daves> Yes <dscassel> Awesome. :D <dscassel> I'm Darcy from Kwartzlab. <TooMany_Daves> I can't remember if I am following you on twitter or following someone you frequently exchange tweets with <dscassel> I think you do. I'm flying_squirrel. <TooMany_Daves> It was nice to talk to Andrew M. at DemoCampGuelph the other night <dscassel> Yeah, Andrew's great. I'm going to be seeing a lot more of him now that we're both on Kwartzlab's board. :) <TooMany_Daves> Cool <dscassel> TooMany_Daves: Do you get to KW often, or mostly stick around Guelph? <TooMany_Daves> I go to J & J Games sometimes. <TooMany_Daves> I have been to KWartzlab a few times. <TooMany_Daves> My fellow DIYode member and I are making Daleks. I'd like to meet the guys in KW who made one. <dscassel> Awesome. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. <dscassel> Those guys aren't Kwartzlab members or anything. SO I'm not sure how to get ahold of them. <dscassel> Except through Dalek Auric on Facebook. :) <TooMany_Daves> Ah <dscassel> I'm sure we've met in persona at some point. But you should come out to some of our Ubuntu events. <dscassel> The next Ubuntu Hour is Wednesday in Uptown Waterloo. <TooMany_Daves> Another DIYode person an dI talk about celebrating Ubuntu releases etc. at the space but we never actually do anything more than talk <dscassel> You should! There's nothing to it, really. <dscassel> A little bit of work to publicize it, maybe. But the party is just a party. :D <TooMany_Daves> That makes sense. <TooMany_Daves> But if it is just the two of us saying it is a party it is not much of a party ;-) <TooMany_Daves> It may be a start <dscassel> I know there are Ubuntu people in Guelph. I think Brainpark is an Ubuntu shop (Brydon uses it at least). <dscassel> And it may be possible to tempt UoG people off campus. <TooMany_Daves> Right <TooMany_Daves> The Guelph building that Brainpark is in (was in?) has a new identity http://threefortynine.com/ <dscassel> With beer on tap. :) <TooMany_Daves> mmm cake http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/06/13/working-7-segment-led-cake/ <dscassel> Awesome. :D #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-14 * ball groans <hakimsheriff> Hello everyone <ball> hello hakimsheriff <BobJonkman> Hi!

Fabian here -> mostly U-Quebec contact - these days playing a lot with kvm, GLPI and Zentyal <zeroedout> Hi, my name is Alishams Hassam. I'm a director at Free Geek Vancouver. Trying to get the gtalk plugin to work with natty so i'll be here on and off <hakimsheriff> I'll be in and out too <dscassel> zeroedout: Cool. I've been talking to the Free Geek Toronto guys about their space being a hub for Ubuntu activities there. :) <kavurt> I'm Klich Koken, from Halifax, NS. I'm long time linux user, but i use ubuntu since hardy. <zeroedout> dscassel: sweet! Currently we do something called Open Help Night (formerly Windowless Wednesdays), ever wednesday where people come in with Ubuntu issues and techs from the community come to help fix/install ubuntu. <zeroedout> I haven't had a chance to chat up the FG toronto guys much, but I hear they're doing well <dscassel> Good to see new (to me, anyway) people out. :D <dscassel> Okay, so ... Events! <zeroedout> glad to be here :) <dscassel> Vancouver is having its Natty release release party on Friday. <dscassel> http://www.meetup.com/ubuntuvancouver/events/17545545/ <dscassel> (You need to sign up for meetup.com and join the ubuntuvancouver event to see it. I hope it's nothing naughty. <dscassel> This Sunday is the first Car-Free Sunday in Waterloo. <dscassel> There was some talk about us setting up a booth or something, but I have a feeling it's not going to happen this month <dscassel> (I haven't done any prep for it at lease) <dscassel> least) <dscassel> But there'll be more in July and August. <dscassel> Aside: zeroedout, have you been out to any of the Ubuntu Vancouver events? <zeroedout> I've been to a couple, trying to make it for this one <dscassel> Cool. <dscassel> I've heard good things, but I don't know too much about what actually goes on out there. <dscassel> Anyway, the ubuntu Global Jam date has been set. It's Sept. 2-4. <dscassel> We'll be doing one in Kitchener, as usual. <zeroedout> the last one I went to was just people getting together and chatting about ubuntu and general geekery. Had some issues with the last event... but this isn't the time or place :) <dscassel> And I'll be trying to get the Free Geek Toronto guys to do one there. <ZykoticK9> MagicFab, re: yocto-reader isn't that an MS error? Perhaps that would explain the problem ;) <dscassel> But it would be cool if we could get more of them across the country. <dscassel> zeroedout: Okay :) <dscassel> On jams, one thing we've been talking about here in KW is that the Global Jam happens awfully late in the cycle. <ZykoticK9> MagicFab, my bad, clearly says "Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu)" at the bottom. <dscassel> We were thinking about maybe doing an earlier Jam, where we can get people contributing earlier in the cycle. <sipherdee> Hi everyone! My name is Eric Beaurivage and I'm from Montreal, QC. My plan is to get more involved into Ubuntu with Ubuntu-QC and... I am a bit late to introduce myself for this meeting. <g> <dscassel> Welcome, sipherdee :) <sipherdee> Greetings! <dscassel> You should talk to MagicFab re: ubuntu-qc if you haven't already. <MagicFab> hakimsheriff, me wants stickerz :) Coming to next Ubuntu Hour ? dscassel don't worry I 've taken care of sipherdee's *free* time already <dscassel> Awesome. :D <sipherdee> Yes dscassel, we know each other and he already is a great help to get me started. <hakimsheriff> MagicFab, Maybe, if i manage to convince my dad, <dscassel> MagicFab: I'm planning on being in Montreal the last week in August. I'm hoping I can get out to the Outremont ubuntu Hour. <KombuchaKip> dscassel: Car free Sunday here in Vancouver as well, I believe. <dscassel> KombuchaKip: cool. It seems like a good opportunity to get out and interact with "normal" people. :) <KombuchaKip> dscassel: Yes, we'll have Ubuntu Vancouver out and about. <MagicFab> dscassel, ring me whenever in town, I'll gladly match my schedule to yours <dscassel> That's cool. <dscassel> MagicFab: Great. Will do. <dscassel> Anyway, last thing on the agenda: <dscassel> There are a bunch of sessions coming up in the #ubuntu-classroom IRC channel. <dscassel> If you get an app called Lernid (there's a PPA out there if you want to google for it), the experience is a bit more streamlined and you get slides. <dscassel> Anyway, the first week of sessions is ubuntu developer week, July 11-15 <dscassel> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek <dscassel> It's for people looking to get into developing on ubuntu, or developing Ubuntu itself. <dscassel> If you think you can run a session, I'd encourage you to go to the wiki page. <dscassel> The second one is Ubuntu Community Week, July 18-22. <dscassel> That's organized by Ubuntu Vancouver's own Randall Ross. <dscassel> And it'll be about getting more involved in the community, building community, helping users, etc. <dscassel> The sort of stuff we're talking about here... <sipherdee> I can't run a session yet but I will be online to contribute to the talks from July 12th. <dscassel> sipherdee: That helps. There'll be a -chat channel where you can help answer questions. <dscassel> Jono has a blog post about the various weeks and things coming up this cycle: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/06/01/six-months-of-rocking-ubuntu-events/ <dscassel> And that's all I got. <dscassel> questions? <sipherdee> I got enough informations with the links you posted. Thanks for the meeting! <dscassel> Awesome. <dscassel> I'll be around for a while if anybody has anything. <dscassel> Thanks for coming out. :) <dscassel> And think about running an Ubuntu event in your town! Ubuntu Hours are easy, and anyone can do them. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour <zeroedout> lol, this was pretty interesting actually. hope to be around for more (or at least idle) <hakimsheriff> Meeting over? <dscassel> Ugh, unity crash. :( <hakimsheriff> dscassel, Meeting over? <dscassel> Yup, unless you have any questions or anything. :) <dscassel> ugh, it looks like the logger stopped logging this morning sometime. <dscassel> If anybody has the meeting in the log or buffer, could you email it to linda89@example.com? <hakimsheriff> dscassel, why dont you try to copy and paste what happened <hakimsheriff> better than nothing ;) <dscassel> Because unity crashed and I lost my buffer. :( <dscassel> (not running in screen at the moment. :( ) <hakimsheriff> should i copy and paste it for you? <hakimsheriff> and send it to you by e-mail? <zeroedout> woops, just about to send myself.... <hakimsheriff> zeroedout, go ahead and do it <zeroedout> done <dscassel> thanks, guys. :) <youcanlinux> Hi from the Falls <dscassel> Hi, youcanlinux :) <dscassel> Niagara, I assume. <youcanlinux> I try to keep up with the mailing list... Have today off from work, and my wife took our son for a drive. I just started using latest Ubuntu and I like it a lot. <dscassel> Nice. :) <youcanlinux> Yes, Niagara, dcassel. Greetings. <youcanlinux> I haven't seen a lot of Linux community activity down here... Maybe that will change... <dscassel> youcanlinux: There's NPLUG, but I think that's mostly St Catherine's. <youcanlinux> I'd be fine with that even... I work there <dscassel> https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=115990519465&v=wall <youcanlinux> txwikinger, what does the tx mean ? <dscassel> Texas. :) <dscassel> (I'm guessing he's afk at the moment... <youcanlinux> oh, maybe he'll be back soon. I'm familiar with that part of the woods. <youcanlinux> i was just shopping computer parts in St. Kitts today, found a neat little store. Need to set up a better computer for my mother-in-law. <dscassel> He's a good guy. He's here in Kitchener-Waterloo now. :) <youcanlinux> Anyway, I'm dealing with a cooling issue on my testing system... I switched out a fan and it seems I didn't put enough goop on the CPU. <youcanlinux> Kitchener-Waterloo, I got to take the family over for Oktoberfest :-) <dscassel> Definitely. :) <dscassel> Or our Ubuntu release parties. :D <youcanlinux> And lots of Linux stuff going on over there, I think. I gotta take my son to one of the parties, he's 5. <dscassel> He'll appreciate our cake, i'm sure. :) <youcanlinux> I am hoping to put up more info on my blog about the latest Ubuntu, but I am really wanting to see more club acitiviies. I <dscassel> youcanlinux: What's your blog? <youcanlinux> http://youcanlinux.wordpress.com/ <youcanlinux> I've got a domain name, but I'm wanting to transfer registrar, probably to wordpress... still under consideration. <youcanlinux> I'm interested in advocacy and helping beginners <youcanlinux> also education <youcanlinux> community education and stuff <dscassel> cool. :) <dscassel> Well, if you want to start building community in Niagara, you can start by organizing something like an ubuntu hour... http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour <youcanlinux> Thanks, I'll look into that. <dscassel> If you do decide to do something, keep us updated. :) <dscassel> (you can add events here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca <youcanlinux> Will do. I have lots of questions about that, I'll save it for either the list or private email. <dscassel> Sure. :) <youcanlinux> I don't mean to hog the meeting, but is anyone else going to comment/ask questions ? <dscassel> Oh, the meeting's over. :) <youcanlinux> Doh! <dscassel> It's 7-8 (ish). <dscassel> I'll have logs up in a minute. <youcanlinux> Um, well, er. hehe <youcanlinux> At least I made it to the channel. <dscassel> Yup. :) <dscassel> But really, I tend to idle in the channel all the time. So do other community folks. <dscassel> I may not be able to get back to you right away, but if you have questions, just ask away and I'll get back to you. <youcanlinux> Thanks, I appreciate that. <dscassel> You can also join #ubuntu-locoteams to ask questions to the LoCo council. They can help with stuff not particular to the Canada LoCo (ie, us) <youcanlinux> Thank you for that LoCo info. Does Raymond make it to these meetings /channel sometimes ? <dscassel> What's his nick? <dscassel> Raymond House, you mean? <dscassel> I don't think so... <youcanlinux> Yeah, he's the one. I'd like to think that the list really helps him out a lot. <youcanlinux> We all have to start somewhere. <hakimsheriff> Anyone know what happened to Corey Burger? <youcanlinux__> Sorry, went to the other console. Oops. <youcanlinux__> I know there used to be a way to set up a system to be able to do X-Windows sessions and switch between consoles with Ctrl-Alt-F?, hmm <youcanlinux__> So do any of the LoCo's get CD's from Ubuntu to give out at meetings / <youcanlinux__> ? <dscassel> youcanlinux__: Yeah, I've got a whole pile CDs in the trunk of my car. <dscassel> I'm trying to figure out how to get them out to people without costing me a fortune in postage. <youcanlinux__> I think people who are interested should be happy to attend a meeting or something... If only people would have events... <dscassel> hakimsheriff: He said he'd moved on to other things. He's still around occasionally, but not in any official capacity. <dscassel> I have events! My Ubuntu Hour is tomorrow. <youcanlinux__> Cool. <hakimsheriff> dscassel, any given out in montreal? <youcanlinux__> Kitchener, I've heard about the place... never been. You don't speak German by any chance ? <dscassel> hakimsheriff: MagicFab should have a bunch. <hakimsheriff> dscassel, only prob is i can never go to the ubuntu hours here <dscassel> youcanlinux__: Not for about 8 generations, no. <youcanlinux__> I'm into cultures and languages. <dscassel> hakimsheriff: there's other ways to get ahold of him, I'm sure. :) <dscassel> youcanlinux__: Cool. There isn't a whole lot of German stuff in town. Much more in the Mennonite communities nearby. <youcanlinux__> hakimsherif: I hear you. spare time is scarce for many of us. <dscassel> KW has changed a lot even in hte 15 years I've lived here. <youcanlinux__> dcassel: I'm familiar with Mennonites. Thanks. <dscassel> hakimsheriff: You can trade him for stickers. :) <hakimsheriff> dscassel, i was just thinking about that <hakimsheriff> youcanlinux__, its not just time, im too young <hakimsheriff> youcanlinux__, parents wont let me <youcanlinux__> Is there such a thing as too young for linux ? <youcanlinux__> Ohh... bummer. <hakimsheriff> youcanlinux__, too young to go to go to ubuntu hours <hakimsheriff> but im not like those other kids, im reponsible and i have my priorities <dscassel> txwikinger had a plan to get us a table at the local multicultural festival. Not sure the status of that one. <youcanlinux__> I could pitch it to them for you. I can give them reasons to let you associate with a LInux club... career development. I've worked in the industry, I should be a poster boy for Linux. <youcanlinux__> i'd be very interested to chat with txwikinger... about language, culture of Germans, etc. <youcanlinux__> I keep in touch with the family in Mexico. <dscassel> youcanlinux__: Sure. He's usually online during the day... <hakimsheriff> Im guessing everyone who is here and watches hockey is for the canucks? <MagicFab> hakimsheriff, UbuntuHour is at noon in a restaurant - what is your concern (or parent's) ? <hakimsheriff> MagicFab, I dont know <hakimsheriff> Its true, i dont know,lol <youcanlinux__> I have no concerns, if the people organizing the Linux event are serious, and I tend to think that they would be... <youcanlinux__> I'm in the market for another video card... I tend to favor nVidia, any other brands people like for use in Linux ? <dscassel> youcanlinux__: I've been using nVidia cards for a while, but I decided to get an ATI card this update. <dscassel> I'm having no end of problems getting it to work properly, tho. <youcanlinux__> did you buy one post-AMD acquisition ? <youcanlinux__> I don't see any reason for a Linux user or any non-Microsoft user to buy an ATI video card. <dscassel> Yeah. <youcanlinux__> But I'd like to see AMD shake things up in the video chip market... I would hope that Intel would put out video chips that are as excellent as their procs, hmm. <dscassel> Their open source drivers are apparently getting a lot better, since they're co-operating more with developers. <youcanlinux__> As well they should. Maybe I need to give AMD procs another chance... <dscassel> I can let you know if I have any better luck with it. But at this point, i'm thinking I'll probably send it back. :/ <hakimsheriff> k guys i gotta go <hakimsheriff> Bye <dscassel> Later, hakimsheriff <youcanlinux__> bye <youcanlinux__> Here's a question, I've got a really ancient ATI video card, ATI RagePro, I wonder if I should slap that in this old computer and give it a try.... I've got one of these in my crusty old laptop and it seems to do okay. <dscassel> I don't know what the state is of the open source driver for the older Rage cards, but it's worth a shot, I guess. <youcanlinux__> I figure it's worth a try. I was at Futureshop today and I was checking out the Intel solid-state drives... I'm really curious about that. <youcanlinux__> The wife would probably not like it if I just bought oen of those... hey I can buy one for her Mom! that's the ticket ;-)))) <dscassel> I've got an SSD in the laptop. It's fantastic. <dscassel> I'm thinking of replacing the boot drive in the desktop with one. <youcanlinux__> I'm doing fine with my old discs... I'll keep an eye on the price though. <youcanlinux__> Well, I need to switch out video cards... Hope to return soon. <BobJonkman> Ermmm... Sorry I missed the chat. Was out for dinner with friends, no WiFi in the restaurant. <SIR_Taco> BobJonkman: I missed it too.. but I always miss it :) <dscassel_> BobJonkman: You coming to the Ubuntu Hour tomorrow? <BluesKaj> Hiyas <bregma_> the sky was salmon and robin's-egg blue at sunrise <bregma_> this does not auger well for a comfortable day at the ol' computer <s-fox> Hello. <TooMany_Daves> Hi <s-fox> Hello TooMany_Daves . <s-fox> How are you? <TooMany_Daves> fine, thanks <TooMany_Daves> quiet morning <TooMany_Daves> You? <s-fox> Not bad thank you. Busy working away on the ubuntu forum. <dscassel> Morning, folks. :) <s-fox> Hello dscassel :) <s-fox> How're you doing? <TooMany_Daves> morning <dscassel> Pretty good. Nice walk to work this morning. And Ubuntu Hour tonight. :) <s-fox> Cool. What time does that start? <TooMany_Daves> I thought I missed it last night * s-fox yawns <dscassel> Last night was the IRC meeting. Tonight's Ubuntu Hour. 8pm at Whole Lot-a Gelata in Waterloo. :) <s-fox> ttfn #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-16 <s-fox> Hello. <dscassel> Morning, s-fox <s-fox> Hello dscassel, how are you? <dscassel> (5am? I hope you're on the west coast. :) <dscassel> Pretty good. :D <dscassel> I had a mom notice my ubuntu-ca placard at the Ubuntu Hour last night, because her 11-year-old son is a user/fan. So I gave her a bunch of schwag and told her about upcoming events. :D <s-fox> Nice. Sorry for slow reply, gad an issue here to deal with. dscassel <dscassel> No worries. I disappear all the time. :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-17 <billybigrigger> howdy idlers <BluesKaj> Howdy <bregma> hey ho #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-18 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <pillow> Mornin', BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hey pillow #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-19 <dscassel> Goddammit, we lost http://ubuntu.ca/ <IdleOne> how does that happen? <dscassel> IdleOne: It likely just expired. I never did a whois to see who registered it. <IdleOne> seems GoDaddy domains owns it no <dscassel> Likely it was one of the original Ubuntu Canada folks. They just had it redirecting to ubuntu-ca.org <IdleOne> now <IdleOne> would have been nice for whoever owned it to offer to the team <dscassel> I'm not sure what the deal is there. We can't just buy it from them. We need to use their "domain buy service" where they'll track down the owner and negotiate a sale. <IdleOne> not sure either but maybe it is something to ask canonical about? <dscassel> I asked a question on the locoteams channel, but no response yet. I should look into it more... <IdleOne> would be a shame for it to fall into the hands of some spam site <IdleOne> I guess canonical would get involved in a case like that <dscassel> It looks like a lot of ubuntu.ccTLD domains are unregistered or parking pages. <dscassel> A few are owned by Canonical and redirect to ubuntu.com <dscassel> I'm okay with just going with ubuntu-ca.org, but it's a little annoying that we (whoever 'we' is) had it and lost it. <BluesKaj> Hiyas #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-20 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj :) <BluesKaj> hey dscassel :) * genii-around makes coffee, hands out the mugs <dscassel> Thanks, genii-around :) <genii-around> dscassel: Anytime of course! <hakimsheriff> Hey Guys <willwh> howdy <dscassel> Hey, hakimsheriff, willwh #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-22 <NicoBellic> Greetings everyone <BluesKaj> Howdy <genii-around> Holy cow thats a big bar bill: http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/extras/bruins_blog/2011/06/the_big_bad_bru.html <IdleOne> that isn't so bad if you remove the champagne <IdleOne> I mean for an entire hockey team celebrating <genii-around> Yeah maybe :) <genii-around> Most of them are probably Canadian .... <IdleOne> haha <IdleOne> I mean it is a lot of money but you know they walked in and said "bring two of everything the NHL is paying for damages" * genii-around wonders if Gary Bettman has a platinum card <WeMadeIt> hi there <WeMadeIt> what keyboard do english speaking canadians have? <WeMadeIt> the US one? <genii-around> WeMadeIt: Mostly, yes <WeMadeIt> mostly? <genii-around> WeMadeIt: There are actually bilingual keyboards for Canada, they are used in the civil service. But most individuals are using a stadard issue type keyboard which is US <WeMadeIt> ah ok <WeMadeIt> thank you <WeMadeIt> I'll be buying OS X (which is available in Canadian English ^^) but I also need a keyboard and I didn't know what one to buy :p <IdleOne> Canadian English means basically that words like color will be give you a spelling mistake. We use colour instead <IdleOne> s/be// <genii-around> Yes, UK english for the most part #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-23 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <dscassel> Morning, all. :) <BluesKaj> hey dscassel * genii-around sips <genii-around> Bah. The electricians are driving me up the wall. Normally I work proverbial 9 to 5 Mon to Fri... they want to be here 5am-9pm tomorrow, 7am-5pm on Sat, 10am-5pm on Sun, wrapping up with 5am-9pm on Mon... Bleh <BluesKaj> hope you get paid OT for that , genii-around <genii-around> BluesKaj: Luckily yes. But now I have no weekend. <BluesKaj> yeah, but gonna rain on sat <IdleOne> genii-around: take tue and wed off :) <genii-around> IdleOne: There's no one who can cover <IdleOne> close the shop. "Gone Fishing" <IdleOne> hehe <IdleOne> genii-around: what do you do and maybe I can cover for you those two days <genii-around> IdleOne: Caretaker of an old office building. We have 23 offices, 5 floors and massive basement which just flooded again last night. I have a small office in the basement which is where you normally see me conneting from weekdays, in between operating the old 1924 manual elevator... <IdleOne> Cool, you get to play with the old elevator <IdleOne> haven't seen one of those in....ever <genii-around> Heh. The contacts on the gates get really fidgety <IdleOne> your in GTA right? <genii-around> Yup <IdleOne> I don't understand though, why do you need to be there while the electricians are working? <IdleOne> I mean surely they can figure out how to work the elevator <genii-around> IdleOne: They don't have keys to enter the building, or the basement areas where the work is, also my office where all the keys to the rest of the building are kept. They are running some 4 inch conduit through my office out to the street for fibre from Bell <IdleOne> oh, well you profit from this. <genii-around> I'd rather be fishing :( <genii-around> Meh. I have to be at the #ubuntu-irc meeting Sunday too, 2pm. <willwh_> hey guys :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-24 <BluesKaj> Hiyas * genii-around makes more coffee * dscassel sips <BluesKaj> hi dscassel , genii-around <KombuchaKip> EasyTAG has just been resurrected. Please vote on your preferred revision control management we should use: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=4e04d772a34eb0e4f6954f91 <dscassel> KombuchaKip: So long as it's one of the last three, you're much better off. * dscassel prefers bzr just because he interacts with Ubuntu stuff a lot, funny enough. <KombuchaKip> dscassel: Yup. I'm a Bazaar fan myself, personally. #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-25 <BluesKaj> hiyas folks <dscassel> Morning, BluesKaj <BluesKaj> hey dscassel <FiReSTaRT> hey darcy * FiReSTaRT triumphed over the insane asus way of booting off a memory stick <FiReSTaRT> which involved turning off the boot helpers and having to press esc at the boot screen to have it allow me to select the option to boot off the memory stick <FiReSTaRT> now it's happily running maverick (in the middle of its first update, after i did all of the hardware fixes) <FiReSTaRT> nothing too complicated and all well documented #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-26 <BluesKaj> Howdy * genii-around sips <genii-around> If anyone would like to show support for my Ubuntu membership bid, please come to #ubuntu-meeting and make it known :) #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-27 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <s-fox> Hello BluesKaj :) <BluesKaj> hi s-fox :) <s-fox> 'lo <s-fox> How are you ? <BluesKaj> just fine thanks , and you ? <s-fox> Good to hear you are fine. I'm okay too, thanks. <BluesKaj> hey genii-around <genii-around> Hi BluesKaj <s-fox> o/ genii-around * genii-around makes a fresh pot of coffee for everyone <dscassel> Morning, all. <dscassel> genii-around: How the membership meeting go? Sorry I missed it. :( <genii-around> dscassel: There was not enough ubuntu-irc members for quorum, I did get +1 from the two that attended. The rest will apparently vote by email, so I figure I may see the results in the mailing list <genii-around> I'm looking forward to my subscription of Linux Weekly News ... ;) <dscassel> :D <dscassel> I've had "apply for membership" on my todo list for a while now. <BluesKaj> hi dscassel , genii 's gonna be another linux bureaucrat :) <dscassel> Mostly I just want to be able to post blog posts on the planet. :) <dscassel> BluesKaj: Heh. :) <BluesKaj> linux bureaucrat ...bit of an oxymoron that :) <BluesKaj> anyway BBL ....lotsa yard work to do today ...some catchiung up to do <genii-around> BluesKaj: See you later! <BluesKaj> yup * KombuchaKip is enjoying seeing Avaneya coming along. <BluesKaj> Avaneya? <genii-around> Ayatana perhaps? <genii-around> Ah, no. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454613 <KombuchaKip> BluesKaj: https://www.avaneya.com <BluesKaj> KombuchaKip, yes thanks ... martians ...no thanks :) <KombuchaKip> BluesKaj: Suit yourself. <BluesKaj> yup, was joking of course , but I'm not a gamer anyway, KombuchaKip <KombuchaKip> BluesKaj: It's ok, me neither. <BluesKaj> wife plays evony on her pc...it's interesting <KombuchaKip> BluesKaj: Never heard of it =) Hopefully this game will be interesting too. Got to jet. Back in an hour or two. <BluesKaj> ok..later #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-28 <BluesKaj> Hiyas * genii-around makes more coffee #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-29 <steven_> hello <oats> hello all <BluesKaj> howdy #ubuntu-ca 2011-06-30 <BluesKaj> Hiyas <genii-around> Bleh. House-mates kids gave everyone a nasty flu. If i didn't have to be at work today I would have just slept and lived off Neo-Citran <BluesKaj> hey genii-around ...bummer :( <genii-around> Well, at least no work until Monday so thats good. <PotatoeHead> hey Canadians! * genii-around slides PotatoeHead a Tim Horton's coffee <PotatoeHead> do you choose American English or British English when (in 99% of the cases lol) there's no Canadian English option? <PotatoeHead> hey genii-around <genii-around> UK or British <PotatoeHead> that's the same >.< <genii-around> As far as dictionaries, yup <BluesKaj> PotatoeHead, we still use a lot of british spellings but american spelling is used more and more in our print media because the education system doesn't know the difference , or doesn't care anymore <genii-around> BluesKaj: I find the Sun especially bad for that <BluesKaj> yhup <PotatoeHead> you use truck instead of lorry and gas(osline) instead of petrol and stuff, but you maintain colour instead of color and stuff <BluesKaj> PotatoeHead, exactly <PotatoeHead> so when you're browsing a website or w/e, and there's en_US or en_GB, what do you choose? <BluesKaj> jail instead odf gaol <PotatoeHead> yh lol <genii-around> PotatoeHead: Because I'm not crazy about Americans I choose GB when possible <PotatoeHead> I see <PotatoeHead> and do you think most Canadians choose GB too? <BluesKaj> like most of us genii-around <genii-around> PotatoeHead: I'd like to think they do, but these days they probably are apathetic <PotatoeHead> meaning they go with US? <genii-around> Or whatever the default is <BluesKaj> yeah , they don't care <PotatoeHead> and is it just limited to online things and stuff or do they even choose en_US when en_CA is available? <PotatoeHead> school for example <genii-around> The school system changed, so that less emphasis is placed on spelling and so on, and more on self-actualisation, etc <PotatoeHead> :O <BluesKaj> yeah, whatever that's supposed to mean <PotatoeHead> what does the government think about it? <PotatoeHead> did they switch to US too? <genii-around> No <BluesKaj> is grammaar even taught in schools anymore ? <genii-around> BluesKaj: Sadly, not so much <genii-around> Work, back shortly <PotatoeHead> no offence, but that seems to be messed up :/ <PotatoeHead> I have my system's spelling and grammar checker set to en_CA, but Gmail for example is only available in en_US or en_GB >.< <PotatoeHead> so say I'm typing an email in Gmail, it'll mark color, but one of the tips won't say colour :/ <BluesKaj> there's no setting in gmail for Canadian English , altho there's a google.ca search ,..go figure <PotatoeHead> I know right! <PotatoeHead> it's messed up <PotatoeHead> so what should I do? keep a mix of both or switch to US - which would feel betrayalish lol <BluesKaj> PotatoeHead, stick with british , it's quite flexible <BluesKaj> even brit spellings and words have changed over the yrs <PotatoeHead> GB is really awkward though >.< <BluesKaj> PotatoeHead, well, you asked :) <PotatoeHead> :D #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-01 <seyDoggy> I installed 12.04 on an acer aspire one d270 netbook and all has gone very well except I can't adjust the screen res or brightness. <bregma> can you switch to a text console and adjust it there (ie. ctrl-alt-f3, adjust, ctrl-alt-f7)? <seyDoggy> bregma: sorry, not sure what you mean. assume I'm new. <seyDoggy> bregma: nm I googled it #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-02 <genii-around> Some guy in the Eaton Centre shooting people #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-03 <DarwinSurvivor> genii-around: just saw the report on http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1205036--shooting-reported-at-eaton-centre?bn=1 <genii-around> I'm right across the street here. My friend who was in the mall at the time texted me about it. And now a shuttle bus they sent out because they closed the subway for it.. just hit a pole on the corner of Dundas and Bay <DarwinSurvivor> ouch <DarwinSurvivor> did they catch the shooter yet? <genii-around> Don't know. The whole place is locked down still so probably not <genii-around> Almost as many cops around here as when the G20 was on <DarwinSurvivor> yeah, that's about all I'm getting from the news reports as well. looks like transit is also busy rerouteing half of Toronto from the sounds of things <genii-around> Going to go watch the hockey game next door now until it's sorted out. All the streetcars are sardine cans. <jlamothe> Has anyone ever successfully set up a PPA? <DarwinSurvivor> jlamothe: not personally, but what problem(s) are you encountering? <jlamothe> DarwinSurvivor: I just can't seem to figure out how to upload the packages. <jlamothe> Although, after some more seching, it seems I have to upload the source, and have them create the .debs. <jlamothe> I already have the sources linda89@example.com. I don't kbow that I want to duplicate that. <bregma> jlamothe, did you get your PPA problems straightened out? <jlamothe> bregma: Not yet. I'm considering just distributing the packages directly. <bregma> the advantage of using a PPA is that your packages will be built against the right version of dependencies for all target releases, and that is important for maintaining quality <jlamothe> Can I do it without switching from git to Bazaar? <bregma> a PPA requires a Debian source package, the VCS you use to create that source package is irrelevant <bregma> I use git all the time to create Debian source packages <jlamothe> Can an autotools package be easily converted? <bregma> I use autotools for all my projects <bregma> do you know how to create a debian source package? * jlamothe is semi-afk. <jlamothe> The debian source package is what I feed to checkinstall? <bregma> the debian source package is what you dput to the PPA, it gets built into binary debs for all architectures <jlamothe> It was the syntax of dput that was tripping me up, but I thought I had to use it to send a .deb file, rather than source. <bregma> no, you need a .changes file, which is part of the debian source package, which is a way of preparing your source so it can be built by the PPA builders <bregma> are you familiar with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide ? <jlamothe> I'm om a phone right now, so I can't really check it right now, but I will when I get to a PC. <jlamothe> It says it's obsolete, but there's a link to another page. I'll have a read. #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-05 <kenjy> just wanna share that I got my permanent residence of Canada and now Im able to move to your country <dscassel> Congrats, kenjy! :D <dscassel> mimcpher: Are you at the CSC? I can drop off CDs... <kenjy> tnks dscassel =) <willwh> kenjy: sweet :) <willwh> I am also a permanent resident :) <kenjy> willwh: thats cool :D, wich part of Canada <kenjy> which* <willwh> Victoria, BC <willwh> (Vancouver island) <kenjy> willwh: awesome, I will move to Vancouver :D <willwh> \o/ <mimcpher> dscassel: I am not, but others are <mimcpher> dscassel: I will be at TON at kwatzlab tonight too (after transit of venus) #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-06 <dscassel> mimcpher: Sweet! I dropped the CDs linda89@example.com... <LinuxMonkey> good morning fellow ubuntu users :) <DarwinSurvivor> good morning <LinuxMonkey> stop following me DarwinSurvivor .lol /me hides <DarwinSurvivor> lol, I never left! <LinuxMonkey> I hope that im not working on the 12th <DarwinSurvivor> what happens on the 1th? <LinuxMonkey> 12th is the Ubuntu-ca meeting on irc <DarwinSurvivor> ah #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-07 * genii-around makes more coffee * wylde_ wonders if it's timmies <genii-around> wylde_: Actually, yes <wylde_> \o/ * wylde_ prepares his I.V. <genii-around> http://imagebin.org/215569 #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-08 <LinuxMonkey> ok the webchat works on the monctonlug.ca hehehe by default when they connect they join here and my channel :) * genii-around slides LinuxMonkey a Timmies * LinuxMonkey gives it to the homeless man around the corner :) * LinuxMonkey thanks genii-around for the timmies anyhow. <genii-around> :-) <LinuxMonkey> genii-around: check it out :) http://MonctonLUG.ca <genii-around> LinuxMonkey: Does it accept OpenID login? * genii-test sips <genii-around> Hm <LinuxMonkey> nope.hahaha <wylde_> boooo! =P * willwh sips * willwh throws penguins at genii-around <willwh> o/ <genii-around> willwh: Thanks, I'll add them to my collection! http://imagebin.org/215664 * genii-around slides a delicious mug of coffee over <willwh> genii-around: this is NSFW without heafdphones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq7Vj3GMd1M&feature=plcp <willwh> bloody brilliant though :) <willwh> swedemason++ <genii-around> Pretty trippy. Reminds me of Max Headroom for some reason. * genii-around slides BobJonkman a beverage <BobJonkman> That would be a fruity tea. thanx, genii-around! <genii-around> BobJonkman: Anytime! Sorry I missed the day at Linuxcaffe, I really wanted to go but too busy <BobJonkman> Happens. I'm sure I'll be back. <BobJonkman> Rumour has it that Linuxcaffe is changing hands, and is changing the name to something that isn't Linuxcaffe <BobJonkman> So, with no Linux theme, it becomes just another trendy neighbourhood cafe. <genii-around> Hopefully they'll still cater to the nerds <BobJonkman> The WiFi is staying... <BobJonkman> If you should meet up with Sammy Lao or anyone else from FreeGeekToronto you can probably get some official Ubuntu 12.04 CDs from them <genii-around> I talk to Sammy quite often actually <BobJonkman> I left a handful of CDs at Linuxcaffe, but the guy at the counter said they don't do that any more. The rack of distros was gone, and Sammy says they took the reference books away a few weeks ago <genii-around> Bleh, that sucks <BobJonkman> Sammy was bummed that he missed scooping some of them. <genii-around> BobJonkman: GTALUG meets at Pho 88 restaurant on Spadina, then later they generally go over to GSU Pub after a couple hours <BobJonkman> I do want to come out for a GTALUG meeting one of these days. Long drive to Toronto, tho. <genii-around> BobJonkman: Colin McGregor at GTALUG is also one of the board members at Toronto Freenet with me, and an Ubuntu supporter <BobJonkman> genii-around: is Toronto Freenet still doing free mesh wireless? <genii-around> BobJonkman: We have some equipment up in the office that was purchased for it ( a bunch of Meraki ) but no one has been working on it lately <BobJonkman> genii-around: I remember reading about an antenna on the Linuxcaffe building. We talked about that briefly that Sunday, but no-one knew much <BobJonkman> and now I'm reading about 60 GHz wireless. Wowzers <BobJonkman> http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/7gbps-wireless-transfers-and-streaming-no-router-required/ <genii-around> Cool <dscassel> BobJonkman (and all): I've got a conflict for next Tuesday's meeting (taking Ellen to Ignite Waterloo...) <dscassel> How do you feel about moving it out a week? <BobJonkman> dscassel: There are some great IRC apps for your Android phone :) <dscassel> That isn't practical for a number of reasons. ^^; <BobJonkman> dscassel: I'm OK with the 19th. <BobJonkman> Or we could do it on the 20th, and CoLo the LoCo with UbuntuHour <genii-around> Hm <dscassel> BobJonkman: I kinda like the idea of doing it with the Ubuntu Hour, but the hour before the Hour, so it doesn't interfere with socializing. #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-09 <BobJonkman> dscassel: Is it official? IRC meeting at 7:00pm on 20 June, IRL with Ubuntu Hour Waterloo? #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-10 <johanbr> hmm... "You attempted to reach www.amazon.ca, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system" <johanbr> that doesn't inspire confidence <DarwinSurvivor> johanbr: works for me (ubuntu 12.04, freshly installed a week ago). maybe someone mitm'd you! <johanbr> DarwinSurvivor, I get that intermittently on the checkout page. I think one of their servers has a botched certificate #ubuntu-ca 2012-06-11 <mainmeister> I want to write some gtk+ applications in 12.04 using the c language. Do I need to install anything for development (ie header files, libraries, etc.) <jlamothe> mainmeister: I'm assuming you
