   1 19:43:55 <tarvid>       tarvid is here with a pot of tea
   2 19:44:32 <jledbetter>   Thank you
   3 19:52:28 <tarvid>       Virtual tea is not as good as real hot tea, but should meet someday, tea and/or coffee is never far away
   4 19:56:33 <jledbetter>   I actually got some tea today at the store. :)
   5 20:05:34 <tarvid>       Loaded karmic on my laptop - mostly happy
   6 20:05:48 <jledbetter>   Loaded it on my PC. First time user. Pretty impressed so far.
   7 20:05:55 <jledbetter>   Actually, playing with it right now.
   8 20:06:01 <tarvid>       gnumeric print to file broken but 13 debs from Sid fixes the problem
   9 20:06:28 <tarvid>       Glad to here it is working for you
  10 20:06:41 <tarvid>       Post to the list if you need help or have questions
  11 20:07:07 <jledbetter>   Thank you :) I wish I had it on a laptop. I'd like to play with it / show it off at work
  12 20:07:55 <jledbetter>   Is this the norm meeting? Chit chat about love of tea and ubuntu? ;)
  13 20:09:05 <tarvid>       We should get organized but until we do anything goes
  14 20:09:18 <tarvid>       We haven't gathered resources to allocate
  15 20:09:24 <tarvid>       Nothing to fight about
  16 20:09:32 <jledbetter>   Haha. Fight about. Haha.
  17 20:15:12 <jledbetter>   I have also been enjoying the open world stuff. You?
  18 20:15:40 <tarvid>       even on that other os
  19 20:36:15 <dwidmann>     Hmm, it's 8 somethin', oops
  20 20:36:22 <tarvid>       wb
  21 20:36:30 <jledbetter>   Howdy
  22 20:36:39 <dwidmann>     hiya
  23 20:36:55 <tarvid>       hi 2u2
  24 20:37:12 <dwidmann>     attendance seems better than last month :)
  25 20:37:37 <tarvid>       say something inspiring
  26 20:37:53 <jledbetter>   jtatum would be here but he's in a meeting
  27 20:37:57 <dwidmann>     something inspiring
  28 20:38:09 <tarvid>       phunnie
  29 20:38:13 <jledbetter>   Using the Ubuntu Software Center and <3
  30 20:38:57 <dwidmann>     Everybodies upgrades to 9.10 go okay?
  31 20:39:12 <jledbetter>   I'm debugging sound atm
  32 20:39:16 <tarvid>       one down, many to go
  33 20:39:39 <dwidmann>     My solution to my broken sound was apt-get remove pulseaudio
  34 20:41:10 <jledbetter>   Ok, trying that.
  35 20:42:52 <dwidmann>     so how are things tarvid?
  36 20:43:02 <tarvid>       busy
  37 20:43:35 <tarvid>       lots of fiber and wireless
  38 20:43:42 <dwidmann>     Othor: you around?
  39 20:44:10 <dwidmann>     tarvid: busy = money = good yes?
  40 20:44:23 <tarvid>       eventually
  41 20:45:17 <Othor>        yeah i'm here just watching a podcast at the same time lol
  42 20:46:35 <tarvid>       I've been watching our ISP business taper off but by a strange set of circumstances and in spite of the fact we are being used, we may benefit
  43 20:46:56 <dwidmann>     thing that sucks about me being sick is that I'm constantly fatigued :( (just a cold or something, but still)
  44 20:47:26 <dwidmann>     good luck with that then tarvid
  45 20:47:41 <tarvid>       my metabolism is not what it should be. I usually lie down when I have the urge to exercise but I have been thinking about track shoes
  46 20:48:13 <tarvid>       I think short bursts of exercise may be the trick
  47 20:48:32 <dwidmann>     Possibly
  48 20:48:39 <dwidmann>     A better idea than caffeine anyway
  49 20:48:46 <Othor>        anyone know of a way to turn off the dialog that pops up when you restart/shutdown in 9.10?
  50 20:49:21 <tarvid>       patch the script?
  51 20:49:33 <tarvid>       is it in the menu system?
  52 20:49:42 <Othor>        yeah in gnome
  53 20:50:14 <Othor>        it says something like "your computer will reboot in 60 seconds" and counts down
  54 20:50:20 <tarvid>       Ubuntu punted a bunch of gnome updates two weeks before release
  55 20:50:42 <tarvid>       I see that as a game to see if I can hit the return key before 59
  56 20:50:51 <jledbetter>   lol
  57 20:50:52 <Othor>        lol
  58 20:51:27 <tarvid>       13 debs from Sid to fix gnumeric
  59 20:51:36 <Othor>        i feel that my computer should not question me. "YES SHUT DOWN WHY DO YOU THINK I CLICKED THAT!!!!"
  60 20:51:43 <tarvid>       No regression tests
  61 20:51:43 <Othor>        lol
  62 20:52:16 <tarvid>       You could be asked to click start before shutdown before really shutdown
  63 20:52:34 <Othor>        hahhah true
  64 20:53:20 <tarvid>       wine is doing better, I have radio mobile running
  65 20:53:24 <Othor>        i'm just confused why the option to disable that was taken out. it was there in 9.04
  66 20:54:15 <tarvid>       And curiously Ubuntu One was broken in karmic and now it is broken in jaunty too. Took a backport to pull that one off
  67 20:54:53 <Othor>        Ubuntu One is working for me
  68 20:55:16 <tarvid>       Clean install on Karmic or update
  69 20:55:23 <Othor>        update
  70 20:55:32 <dwidmann>     tarvid: that's almost funny
  71 20:55:34 <tarvid>       I get capabilities mismatch with server
  72 20:56:06 <Othor>        they had it disabled for a while because of a bug that could cause you to lose data/files
  73 20:56:31 <Othor>        do you have any update available?
  74 20:56:40 <dwidmann>     I started off doing an upgrade ... then backed up my package cache and did a reinstall ... things are working much smoother (if I disregard all the configs I have to redo)
  75 20:57:03 <dwidmann>     speaking of that, it seems I didnt botch up the postfix config :)
  76 20:57:17 <tarvid>       postfix is pretty resilient
  77 20:57:50 <tarvid>       less vulnerable than sendmail
  78 20:58:38 <tarvid>       pull postconf in before making changes, postfix check afterwards
  79 20:58:45 <dwidmann>     tarvid: well, I basically didn't back up any of my configs, with the one exception of ivman
  80 20:58:46 <tarvid>       s/in/-n/
  81 20:59:15 <tarvid>       I did the update on blind faith and got away with it
  82 20:59:33 <tarvid>       the sandboxes seem free of drek
  83 20:59:35 <Othor>        tarvid, here is the bug for that issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client/+bug/462828
  84 20:59:50 <dwidmann>     So did I ... but things seem smoother/faster since the reinstall, for whatever reason
  85 21:00:02 <tarvid>       Often the case
  86 21:01:09 <dwidmann>     Does grub2 seem slow-to-load to anyone else? (for me it takes around 3-6 seconds, ish)
  87 21:01:38 <dwidmann>     (not the legacy grub, but the new one)
  88 21:02:30 <Othor>        idk i usually walk away from my computer when i reboot
  89 21:03:47 <tarvid>       coffee, drain the radiator, clean the trash off my desk
  90 21:04:11 <tarvid>       Anyone try openvz on ubuntu?
  91 21:05:35 <dwidmann>     not me
  92 21:05:52 <dwidmann>     ... I'm sooooooooooooo sleepy x_x
  93 21:06:05 <tarvid>       I have some clients that want shell
  94 21:06:43 <tarvid>       now that vps is cheap, it is hardly worth selling
  95 21:07:37 <tarvid>       but a few want the affinity/intimacy of a shared server and internet connection with someone who knows their name
  96 21:19:25 <jledbetter>   Like Cheers?
  97 21:19:36 <tarvid>       Exactly
  98 21:21:19 <tarvid>       I look for ways our business can be more inclusive
  99 21:27:59 <--    Othor has quit ("Leaving")
 100 21:28:52 <tarvid>       Good to see you all this evening. Looking forward to our next chat.
