<seattlegaucho> hmmm ... kde on the netbook went better than I thought
<seattlegaucho> I might adopt it long term
<Uber_Geek> I will have to try KDE again,  something about 4.0 frustrated me back when, but I can't remember what
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-03
<tgm4883> Is there a map of what cities the team members are located in?
<tgm4883> I just wondered if it was mostly seattle or more spread out
<Uber_Geek> I am actually in Post Falls, ID, but I work in WA and consider Spokane a home city
<Ashex> y help
 * valorie lives south of Seattle
<valorie> but right now am in Randa, Switzerland, for a KDE sprint 
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-06
<Uber_Geek> Morning
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-08
 * valorie waves from back at home, after a loooong sleep
<valorie> Switzerland was very cool!
<Uber_Geek> very nice
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-09
<seattlegaucho_> ... time to upgrade my work WS to natty
 * seattlegaucho_ crosses his fingers
<seattlegaucho> hmm ... so far so good w/ the upgrade
<valorie> yum, pizza!
<valorie> haven't had any for weeks
 * meonkeys waves
<meonkeys> heh, check out "aptitude moo", "aptitude -v moo", "aptitude -vv moo", ...
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-10
<seattlegaucho> meonkeys: keep going w/ the number of 'v' ;)
<meonkeys> seattlegaucho: yep, that's what the ellipses was for.
<seattlegaucho> :)
<cj> man.  my IPv6 feed is not awesome.
<seattlegaucho> I just got my 1st natty crash and my 1st natty pet peeve
<valorie> what's the peeve?
<valorie> I don't think I've gotten a crash yet -- except plasma
<valorie> which just comes right back
<valorie> using kub.
<Uber_Geek> I had to go back to 10.10 on my netbook, as Unity (Yech) , Gnome 3, and KDE Plasma were very laggy and didn't perform as well.  :(\
<valorie> well, I had to go to Xrender for plasma
<valorie> gles or whatever was a problem
<valorie> and turning off effects means no lag at all
<valorie> I don't like most effects anyway
<Uber_Geek> what is the point of having a flashy interface if you have to turn the flashness off?
<Uber_Geek> flashness = flashiness.
<Uber_Geek> lol
<seattlegaucho_> valorie: when I resize a konsole window in front of firefox 4 ... the whole display freezes
<seattlegaucho_> ssh-ing into the box and restarting kdm didn't help
<Uber_Geek> did alt-sysrq-K  or ctrl-alt-backspace help?
<Uber_Geek> pry a lame question though
<valorie> ah, I heard of a few people with that bug
<valorie> rather severe
<valorie> including one developer
<valorie> whether or not it's been fixed, I don't know
<valorie> so far, the only bug I've run across is that flash keeps being wrecked
<valorie> I finally got flash-aid
<valorie> which seems to fix that
<valorie> and weird one: I can no longer right-click in FF
<valorie> like to open a link in another tab
<valorie> I'm considering going back to rekonq
<valorie> oddly, I seem to be one of the few people with this bug
<seattlegaucho> valorie: nailed my bug and it's a showstopper
<seattlegaucho> resizing konsole makes the window manager a zombie!
<seattlegaucho> can't live w/o resizing terminals >(
 * seattlegaucho is *pissed*
<valorie> have you searched the bug tracker?
<seattlegaucho> https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23381
<valorie> I haven't heard any recent complaints, so I wonder if the fix has been backported
<valorie> looks like the fix is in, according to that bug thread
<valorie> also: #ubuntu-kernel is very helpful
<valorie> they helped me fix my missing mic on this laptop, and an early bug where the headphone jack didn't work
<seattlegaucho> it was fixed last monday! ... not sure it made it out to the repos
<valorie> kernel patch
<valorie> I've never done anything like that before
<valorie> they were awesome
<seattlegaucho> ... but ... but ... argh! 
<valorie> argh, indeed!
<valorie> bugs suck
<seattlegaucho> especially when I need it to do some real work I got interrupted in the middle 'cause of the bug
<seattlegaucho> now my add ridden brain can' t decide whether to fix the issue or keep working with some odd work around
 * valorie advises fixing
<valorie> workarounds take longer and are more annoying long-term
<valorie> take the rock out of your shoe!
<seattlegaucho> ... for now ... disabling effects and it works
<seattlegaucho> remove shoes ... worry about shoe nail before wearing shoes again :)
<valorie> heh
<meonkeys> anyone in here using bitcoins?
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-11
<seattlegaucho> it would make valorie happy to know that I'll be taking care of that driver issue next
<seattlegaucho> ... and be disconnected in the process :(
<seattlegaucho> yay! success
<valorie> \o/
<valorie> so what was it?
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-16
<tenach> Allo.
<meonkeys> howdy
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-21
<Shadowchaser> hello all
<Shadowchaser> kinda new to ubuntu and irc can anyone help with a question
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-22
<meonkeys> well, we could, if you were still here. :)
<seattlegaucho> his shadow might actually be fast and he had to go on with his/her chase
<valorie> how many people are going down to CLS and OSCON next month?
<seattlegaucho> valorie: OSCON ... but only  during the day of my talk since the company doesn't support it :(
<valorie> at least we'll meet up, seattlegaucho
<seattlegaucho> yep
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-28
<Lancelot> hi everyone
<valorie> hi Lancelot
<Lancelot> how's it going?
<valorie> it's good!
<valorie> was at Pride for part of the weekend, sorta tired, but in a good way
 * MarkDude watched the SF parade on tv - with his grandma
<valorie> how about you?
<valorie> hey MarkDude
<Lancelot> I'm good
<MarkDude> hello valorie  Lancelot , everyone
<Lancelot> had fun at the jazz festival
<Lancelot> ahoy thar
<valorie> I was marching with PFLAG as usual, and it was sorta hot
<valorie> gave out LOTS of hugs this year
<Lancelot> ...?
<valorie> SF Pride is the only one I would blow off Seattle for, though
<valorie> the timing was so great this year; everybody was happy
<MarkDude> The Sf party stretched beyond the city borders- most cities had some signs
<valorie> nice
<MarkDude> And every station played gay music
<valorie> Lancelot: what's your question?
<valorie> "gay music"
<valorie> lol
<MarkDude> Like stereotype stuff, that is actually popular
<Lancelot> I was confused when you said you gave out lots of hugs
<valorie> MarkDude and I are both straight, if you are wondering
<valorie> I'm a PFLAG mom
<MarkDude> YMCA, Raining men, etc. I kid you not- most people just had a really great sense of humor
<valorie> usually Seattle PFLAG gives out round pink stickers which everyone wants, which say "You are loved by PFLAG"
<valorie> I decided to just give hugs instead
<MarkDude> Hugs are better than stickers
<valorie> we gave out stickers as well
<valorie> if you search flickr for Seattle Pride, you'll see lots of pix
<valorie> or Seattle PFLAG
<MarkDude> The hug thing- is a being supportive thing, basically, I don't care what your personal deal is, I accept you 
<MarkDude> Not to answer for you val
<valorie> right you are
<valorie> just people I felt wanted the hugs
<MarkDude> lol
<valorie> and a few whispered to me "how did you know I needed this?"
<MarkDude> No forced hugging- of course
<valorie> which makes me tear up
<MarkDude> :)
<valorie> all that lovin' is tiring though
<MarkDude> Well it is important - more so in some cities. I have a friend that grew up in small town Nevada, she had never been in a place she could be herself
<valorie> I came home and fell asleep last night
<MarkDude> Sorry if I scared you with my Hippie talk Lancelot :)
<valorie> we are changing the world, we are
 * MarkDude kids
<valorie> freedom and love
<valorie> we ARE hippies, without the weed
<MarkDude> True valorie 
<valorie> at least most of us, without the weed
<MarkDude> lol
 * MarkDude is in Cali- I know law enforcement folks with medical cards
<MarkDude> Just sayin'
<valorie> our med. marijuana law was gutted this year
<valorie> so there are two legalization measures coming up
<valorie> we'll see
<valorie> Washington is progressive at times
<MarkDude> Did you see that pic of Bert and Ernie saying Thank you New York?
<valorie> that's one I haven't seen yet
<valorie> I loved the Empire State building all rainbow
<MarkDude> Sounds cool
<MarkDude> I posted link on FB- I will send to you
<valorie> thanks
<MarkDude> Just sent it
<MarkDude> I had someone give me a bad time for it
<valorie> really?
<MarkDude> I always thought they were gay heroes- to some extent, like Peppermint Patty
<MarkDude> I mean to me I knew they were gay- before I knew what it meant
<MarkDude> Then again, I went to I'm ok - You're ok preschool
<valorie> right -- I'm not much into labeling, but on the other hand, I grew up before Stonewall, so I had very limited knowledge about the world
<MarkDude> I think there is a certain amount of matter of fact with it. At least in the pond I am in
 * MarkDude never uses gay as pejorative - just as adjective
<Lancelot> that's why we have the word "ghey"
<Lancelot> it takes over the pejorative role
<Lancelot> and everyone stays happy
<valorie> right, I grew up in a fundamentalist right-wing pond
<Lancelot> ish
<valorie> since it sounds the same, it is the same, to me
<valorie> better retired as an insult, all together
<valorie> I prefer shakespearean insults when they are called for, anyway
<valorie> more creativity, and more fun
<MarkDude> +1 to the Bard
<Lancelot> DID YOU JUST BITE YOUR THUMB AT ME!?!?!?!?! :p
<MarkDude> lol
<Lancelot> I forget the rest of the lines
<Lancelot> something about "I will kill you all" if I remember correctly
<MarkDude> first thing we do is kill all the lawyers has always struck me as a great line of his
<MarkDude> Falstaff also made great impression on me as kid
<valorie> why does this not surprise me?
<valorie> lol
<Lancelot> does anyone here use GNOME3?
 * valorie uses Kubunut
<valorie> Kubuntu
<Lancelot> I've been considering switching to KDE
<valorie> cool
<valorie> I'm looking forward to meeting lotsa Gnome people at the desktop summit this August
<Lancelot> I'm just getting up to 11.10
<valorie> I like the people, just not the desktop
<Lancelot> desktop summit?
<valorie> http://desktopsummit.org
<valorie> KDE & Gnome uber-meeting
<valorie> KDE is sending me to Berlin
<valorie> :-)
<Lancelot> sounds fun
<valorie> should be fun and work, which I love
<Lancelot> what is it you do by the way?
<Lancelot> I didn't get around to asking at linuxfest
<Lancelot> I'll talk to you all later
<Lancelot> bye
<seattlegaucho> *yawn*
<althara> valorie: I'm going to OSCON this year!!! :D
<Lancelot> happy tuesday everyone
<valorie> wooooooooooooooo!
<valorie> good news althara
<seattlegaucho> althara: see you there
<valorie> which day are you going, seattlegaucho?
<valorie> we should plan a lunch or dinner together
<seattlegaucho> wed night and returning thur night ... only for my talk since the stoopid company doesn't endorse it :(
<valorie> poo on your company!
<seattlegaucho> wed night there is an O'Reilly meeting I'd like to go, but I'm OK w/ having dinner Thur and return afterwards
<valorie> we could at least get together for drinks or something on Wed.
<valorie> oh, cool
<valorie> shall we exchange cell #s?
<valorie> actually, I wonder if I'll be there on Thursday
<valorie> Thursday is lightning talks and stuff, right?
<valorie> I think so
<valorie> yeah, I'll be taking off on Thursday too
<valorie> since I'm not paid
<valorie> but we can do dinner
<valorie> or lunch
<seattlegaucho> hmm ... lunch
<valorie> when is your talk?
<Lancelot> are these talks being broadcast?
<Lancelot> broadcasted*
<valorie> hmmm, I think some are
<valorie> or at least available
<Lancelot> yay
<Lancelot> I'll be back later
<seattlegaucho> http://www.oscon.com/oscon2011/public/schedule/speaker/42826
<seattlegaucho> it turns out my talk is in the morning so I'll be able to enjoy lunch and the afternoon in good ubuntu-us-wa company ;)
<valorie> cool!
<valorie> your talk sounds like it is way over my head
<valorie> but that's not surprising
<valorie> woah
<valorie> they have no free option this year?
<valorie> wth
#ubuntu-us-wa 2011-06-30
<Lancelot> hi valorie, quick question. How well do gnome applications work in a KDE environment?
<Lancelot> after you get all the dependencies
<valorie> fine
<Lancelot> yay
<valorie> I use sound juicer, for instance
<valorie> you can even make them look decent, by getting the oxygen-gtk package
<Lancelot> I'm moving up to 11.04
<valorie> which I haven't bothered to do
<Lancelot> well that pack looks quite nice
<Lancelot> given where gnome is heading I'm really looking at KDE
<valorie> cool
<valorie> or should I say, Kool
<valorie> lol
<Lancelot> O\
<Lancelot> that reminded me of a monty python sketch
<Lancelot> "I can't say the letter B" "C?" "Yes"
<Lancelot> "Can you say the letter K?"
<valorie> I haven't seen that one!
<valorie> or at least don't remember it
<Lancelot> I'm trying to find a pack of all the ones they made
<Lancelot> the sketch wasn't based around it, it was just a side joke
<valorie> I did watch LOTS of mp sketches
<valorie> so hilarious, most of them
<Lancelot> some the humour is a bit too british >.>
<valorie> there is no such thing as "too british"!
<valorie> lol
<Lancelot> right...
<Lancelot> well I'll talk to you all later then
#ubuntu-us-wa 2012-06-05
<sheenams> i'm having issues running bwa in 12.04. can someone advise?
#ubuntu-us-wa 2012-06-06
<bkerensa> valorie: you ciming down for oscon this year?

#ubuntu-us-wa 2012-06-26

<LantzR> Hiya
<thefinn93> hai ther
#ubuntu-us-wa 2014-06-11
<valorie> any of y'all involved in UOS this go-around?
<valorie> I've listened to a couple of sessions, and participated in one of the hangouts
<valorie> I still miss UDS, but this is better than nothing
<shirgall> valorie: there's always debconf ;)
<valorie> I'm hoping, but this summer is uber-busy for me
<valorie> and that is right between going to Switzerland and writing a book, and then setting off for Akademy in Brno 
<valorie> not sure my jet-lagged bod can stand it, and yet it seems a great pity to miss out!
<valorie> so close
