<doctormo> pleia2: I'm planning a little economic experiment with ground control and I wondered if I could get your feedback.
<doctormo> on the idea
<pleia2> doctormo: I'm on my way to another release party
<pleia2> feel free to /msg though, I should be online some once i arrive

<aude> hello
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-03
<bluelight> Hi everyone  I'm new and I don't know anything, so I don't know what to ask. What is the first thing I should ask ?
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-04
<bluelight> I have monitored the channel for four days and have yet to see signs of life. A responce of some kind would at least let me know I have it working right !
<starcraftman> bluelight:
<starcraftman> bluelight: oops, hi.
<starcraftman> What can I do for ya? If your here for open week, that's in #ubuntu-classroom, connect with lernid
<bluelight> I just read about irc and loaded the program and set it up. I don't really know what it about. Just trying to learn something new
<starcraftman> bluelight: looking for support? Problem with ubuntu?
<starcraftman> bluelight: openweek ongoing if you want to learn some new things > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek
<starcraftman> Lil bit more than just beginner stuff though.
<bluelight> starcrraftman: no problems to speak of for a beginner. I am trying to follow the ubuntu help guide and I am learning but it is slow
<pleia2> bluelight: this channel is primarily used for writing coursework to be taught in classroom
<pleia2> s
<starcraftman> pleia2: carefully disguised with the enticing hash ubuntu-learning. :)
<pleia2> we've all been pretty busy lately getting prepared for the developers summit next week where we'll be discussing redeveloping our process, so there hasn't been much activity here
<pleia2> starcraftman: we link our wiki page in the /topic! :)
<bluelight> Sorry, I'll find another channel
<bluelight> bye
<starcraftman> bluelight: if you care for it, pop over to #ubuntu-beginners probably better for just learning.
<pleia2> bluelight: you'll probably want to check out #ubuntu for support
<pleia2> and Ubuntu Open Week that starcraftman linked is great :) that's happening in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat
<bluelight> thank you
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-06
<doctormo> pleia2: do you know much about PXE boots?
<pleia2> nope, but some of the folks in #ubuntu-us-pa have done some stuff with them
<Vantrax> I do doctormo

#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-19
<That_Wiki_Guy> Hey pleia2
<pleia2> hello
<That_Wiki_Guy> pleia2: Very cool interview
<That_Wiki_Guy> pleia2: Its ZachK_ btw
<pleia2> That_Wiki_Guy: the video one from UDS? ugh, I was too nervous :)
<That_Wiki_Guy> You did fine
<pleia2> thanks
<That_Wiki_Guy> :)
<That_Wiki_Guy> Oh so how you been? I've b
<That_Wiki_Guy> I've not talked with you for some time..
<pleia2> been busy, currently dealing with the ubuflu (took a 9 hour "nap" today)
<pleia2> you?
<That_Wiki_Guy> Oh busy...got fired...I'm ubt wiki lead, trying to learn python...nothing much
<pleia2> ouch @ got fired, looking for something new?
<That_Wiki_Guy> College
<pleia2> ah
<That_Wiki_Guy> Yeah...got the summer of documentation to plan...new membership process for the wiki fg to implement..
<That_Wiki_Guy> In your interview u mentioned the Ubuntu Youth project...
<That_Wiki_Guy> Got any links, info? Id like to help with that if I could
<That_Wiki_Guy> If I can anyway
<pleia2> I'm not involved with it and I'm not sure how active they are these days, but this has some info: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-youth
<pleia2> they're also over in #ubuntu-youth
<That_Wiki_Guy> Well seeing as how the lp page has 30 proposed members I don't think it's that active
<That_Wiki_Guy> Just started using Lucid today
<pleia2> cool, I haven't yet ;)
<That_Wiki_Guy> Looks nice
<pleia2> yeah
<That_Wiki_Guy> I've been using windows cause my wireless didn't work..but when I did the try ubuntu option on the live cd it wanted to install proprietary driver(no surprise) so I did an install and it kept the driver
<That_Wiki_Guy> Windows went byby....
 * That_Wiki_Guy hates windows....
<That_Wiki_Guy> pleia2: So how's that California weather
<pleia2> it's actually been gloomy these past few days
<pleia2> a week of gloom in brussels, more here... boo :)
<That_Wiki_Guy> Oh
<That_Wiki_Guy> :(
<doctormo> pleia2: It was great weather on sat and sun in brusells
<dinda> does anyone know if the http://learn.ufbt.net site has been moved?
<dinda> site is returning nothing but "It works" message
<leoquant> ah doctormo you had a look at "manneke pis"?
<doctormo> leoquant: I don't think so, what is that?
<leoquant> doctormo, : http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis_van_Brussel
<leoquant> but you enjoyed the lager I hope?
<doctormo> I enjoyed some beer
<doctormo> Although I'm not a beer drinker normally.
<pleia2> dinda: hmm, I'd drop an email to gregory37@example.net to ask, I wasn't aware of an intention to move it but he was doing some system upgrades last week
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-22
<doctormo> pleia2: Do we have the meeting set up for DML ?
<pleia2> doctormo: no, I sent the doodle poll out on wednesday and said I'd keep it open for a week
<pleia2> so I'll announce the meeting time on wednesday, sometime in the first week of june
<doctormo> Thanks
<ZachK_> pleia2: meeting?
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-23
<pleia2> doctormo: I cc:ed you on a doc-team email (not sure if you
<pleia2> 're on that list
<pleia2> )
<pleia2> a summer of code student is working on a mallard online editor
<nigelb> pleia2: doctomo did write a mail to that list just after your mail about the meeeting
<nigelb> pleia2: online mallard editor sounds totally cool though
<pleia2> yeah, I can never keep track :)
<nigelb> heh
<paultag> pleia2, doctormo, poke
<paultag> I really really doubt doctormo is around. I regret that ping. Ignore me doctormo :)
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-24
<nigelbabu> mhall119: around?
<nigelbabu> mhall119: can you poke me on my usual ID when you come on please?
<mhall119> nigelb: poke
<nigelb> mhall119: got time for a PM?
<mhall119> sure
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-25
<paultag> howdy pleia2
<pleia2> hey
<paultag> So.
<pleia2> so here's the spec for the -manual thing: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ubuntu-support-and-learning-center
<pleia2> gah, kubuntu link
<pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-support-and-learning-center
<pleia2> all the content by learning, manual and doc is cc-by-sa, so you're perfectly welcome to pull it all into your project instead
<paultag> Humm
<pleia2> but since the -manual folks are pushing hard on this support and learning center, I would suggest working with them if possible :)
<paultag> I don't like leaching
 * pleia2 digs up blueprint
<paultag> the thing is that we have two different ideas
<paultag> I want to pull as much academic work ( not all manuals and how to use ubuntu ), and I want to make it local
<pleia2> ah
<paultag> pleia2, see, I'd like to make nice hooks for them to pull off me, and I'd love a hook for me to pull from them
<pleia2> I believe the backend for us will still be bzr
<paultag> Ahh
<pleia2> but the technical stuff is still being hashed out
<paultag> pleia2, I have a really cool upload system
<pleia2> we have a whole fun blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-m-documentation-teams-collaboration
<pleia2> manual team is doing much of the site work, doctormo and learning is doing ease-of-use stuff, docs team is just going to chug along
<paultag> pleia2, I'd love to collaborate, but I don't think we are trying to do the same thing exactly
<pleia2> alright :)
<pleia2> yeah, the aim here really is ubuntu exclusive
<paultag> OK, cool
<paultag> then we can get along
<paultag> :)
<paultag> pleia2, I'll be sure to document my API and how to get all the data off the server
<pleia2> but if your uploader is clever, I'm sure manual folks would be interested in your tech
<pleia2> cool
<paultag> pleia2, it's based kinda on dput, it works in almost the same way
<pleia2> ah, gotcha
<paultag> and you need a gpg key sign to upload :D
<pleia2> neat
<pleia2> so there is like a keyring for contributors?
<paultag> yeah :)
<paultag> and also MySQL to double check
 * pleia2 nods
<paultag> it has to both be in the keyring and active in the MySQL backend
<paultag> it's pretty kickass. It's super scalable
<paultag> pleia2, alright. Well let me finish up where I was going with it, and I'll offer up whatever I can :)
<pleia2> great! :)
<pleia2> looking forward to seeing it
<paultag> thanks pleia2, you rock
<paultag> pleia2, :)
<pleia2> you too
<pleia2> heading out in a few minutes to meet up with a local guy who is deploying linux at local public schools
<paultag> nice :)
<pleia2> it's really hard to do this in the US, but he's managed to be quite successful, has done it in 4 or 5 schools already
<pleia2> he just sucks at documenting and publicity, so he's asked me for help :)
<paultag> \o/
<pleia2> yeah, I'm excited
<paultag> pleia2, blog about how it goes! :)
<pleia2> I will be a blogging machine! :)
<paultag> :)
<pleia2> it'll be cool to be promoting and telling people about a project that's already so successful
<paultag> hell yeah
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-27
<popey> o/
<popey> http://learn.ufbt.net/ should that moodle site work?
<popey> it's linked from the Learning wiki page
<dinda> popey: yes, lyz emailed bodhi as he's the server keeper, been down for days now
<dinda> popey: I fear I just lost a whole edubuntu course I had started over there :(
<popey> :S
<doctormo> dinda: did you not back it up?
<pleia2> bodhi_zazen: where is the learn.ufbt.net install?
<pleia2> dinda was working on a course, can't find it now
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-28
<Mr-KorOl> hi
<Mr-KorOl> Ð¿ÑÐ¸Ð²ÐµÑ
<Mr-KorOl> I'm tying to make a local repository. i've got about 7000 deb-files in a local folder. when I run dpgk-scanpackages, it reports an error on some files. one each time I run it. then exits. I removed about 200 debs manualy...  it takes a lot of time.. :( howe can I ask dpkg-scanpackages to avoid errors? or is there a way to automate this proces (removing of wrong debs)??? any ideas are weclomed! The erroro is smth like this: "dpkg-deb: `./python-twist
<pleia2> Mr-KorOl: probably want to ask for support in #ubuntu
<pleia2> (this channel is for developing course material)
<Mr-KorOl> ok. thanks
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-29
<doctormo> pleia2: The question asked by Mr-KorOl didn't sound like your average every day desktop question for #ubuntu
<pleia2> doctormo: no, but AFAIK there isn't really a channel for more advanced questions (and if there is the #ubuntu folks will know :))
<pleia2> maybe the -server channel
<doctormo> From my experence anyone with a semi-hard problem gets ignored on #ubuntu
<pleia2> ah :\
<doctormo> I'd have gone to #debian or #ubuntu-motu
<doctormo> The server people might know too though
<pleia2> I think motu is pretty packaging specific
<pleia2> are the #debian folks friendly to ubuntu people these days? last I knew they weren't particularly
<pleia2> the official debian channel on oftc was always a bit better about it
<doctormo> pleia2: From what I can tell the debian people are more accepting than they used to be, but I still wouldn't mention ubuntu to them.
 * pleia2 nods
<doctormo> The bias might not be manifestly obvious but I'm better announcing Ubuntu love would have a similar effect to announcing you were female... unfortunatly.
<doctormo> betting*
<doctormo> i.e. they'd think you were stupid even if you were Ada Lovelace.
#ubuntu-learning 2010-05-31
<pleia2> ugh, I completely slept through the learning, docs, manual meeting
<Pendulum> pleia2: there was no meeting really
<pleia2> I noticed
<Pendulum> I don't think it was just because you were missing. most people were not there
<pleia2> we really should have reconsidered when we realized it was on memorial day
 * pleia2 follows up in -manual
<Pendulum> *nods*
#ubuntu-learning 2011-05-01
<squarrel> how bout a security question?
<squarrel> not particularly ubuntu oriented though, but linux
<squarrel> anyone interested?
#ubuntu-learning 2011-05-04
<pleia2> DarkwingDuck: I think we were supposed to have a meeting this evening with our drafts prepared of classes we had in mind
#ubuntu-learning 2011-05-05
<DarkwingDuck> pleia2: Yeah... RL has been a bit of a pain and I don't have it finished.
<pleia2> same here
<DarkwingDuck> :D
<DarkwingDuck> pleia2: at least I'm not alone in that.
<pleia2> I accepted too many tasks at UDS, and then the non-profit I'm with decided to get really-omg-busy right before my crazy month-o-travel
 * pleia2 mutters
<DarkwingDuck> :D
<DarkwingDuck> pleia2: it's your turn to deal with the face to face complaints about the CA Loco from every member of the LoCo council :D
<jledbetter> Complaints?
<pleia2> DarkwingDuck: is ok, they like us now mostly
<pleia2> itnet7 and I are doing crew on monday \o/
<DarkwingDuck> pleia2: Heh... yeah, I was Daniel in that Lions den during UDS-N
<pleia2> jledbetter: when I moved to california the team was a bit of a mess
<jledbetter> pleia2, Ah, seems cool now. You're a good influence :)
<pleia2> pedantic bickering and hurt feelings going back years
<DarkwingDuck> pleia2: Yeah, years and years and years
<pleia2> well, the loco council came in and made some changes (not all popular)
<pleia2> but we'll do some proper leader elections in october and hopefully it'll all be in the past
<DarkwingDuck> October will be the first time anyone can run right?
<DarkwingDuck> Oh I wil not be running for re-election.
<pleia2> yeah, anyone
<DarkwingDuck> Yuck... i'm getting rid of Firefox.
<pleia2> haha, poor firefox
<DarkwingDuck> Back to Chrome
#ubuntu-learning 2011-05-08
<bodhi_zazen> 'lo all
#ubuntu-learning 2011-05-13
<squarrel> i watched Firetsarter's blocked connection list - and i see "port 5900| TCP| VNC" what the heck is that?
#ubuntu-learning 2012-05-01
<JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: I've made a very basic guide for brasero, although screenshots are extremely big
<pleia2> oh, those are huge :)
<pleia2> maybe shrink the window when you take screenshots to be as small as is reasonable to still see the application?
<JoseeAntonioR> I think I can resize them, one sec
<pleia2> not the screenshot file, but the size of the application you're screenshotting
<pleia2> http://people.ubuntu.com/~lyz/xubuntu/precise/precise_05.png like for that, I made gnumeric smaller than the whole screen size to show basically what it is, but not be too big
<JoseeAntonioR> erm, the window is smaller than the whole screen, I just cropped it
<pleia2> yeah, make it even smaller :)
<JoseeAntonioR> ok!
<pleia2> hm, maybe we should be improving https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Brasero ?
<pleia2> I think for now putting them where you're putting them makes sense, but once we hear back from the docs team we should move our stuff over
<JoseeAntonioR> yep, because that'a a little bit out of date
 * pleia2 nods
 * pleia2 rubs her eyes and tries to remember what else she was going to do tonight
<JoseeAntonioR> :P
<JoseeAntonioR> 1:46am over here
<pleia2> "only" 11:46 here
<JoseeAntonioR> lol
<JoseeAntonioR> well, I'm out for tonight, have a good night! :)
