It usually takes a while until the changes on the main site get synchronized with the chat system.

Tom Brossman

5:21 PM

@GeorgeEdison Now, is it broken in Precise?

BBT

@TheEvilOne Thank you.

@RolandTaylor Yup!

Hopefully 1.5 will be released this month.

It's great to know when I get rep again :D

Without having to rely on Firefox :D

:)

Well it was only with your help that I was able to track it down.

(You and some others who helped with the bug.)

askubuntu.com/tags/omgubuntu

Should we really have tags for the community blogs?

(NB: Were are not in competition with them - this purely a matter of principle).

No, we shouldn't.

Feel free to retag.

5:31 PM

can we remove that tag?

or can a moderator od it?

say... @MarcoCeppi?

or @Oli

I can (remove it from the question, that is).

If I had the power I would have nuked it immediately!

ohey its @Marco :P

Ah Marco is here :)!

omgubuntu

@Marco can you purge that?

5:33 PM

No, but it'll auto-delete after X days with no questions

No Marco, the world hasn't ended (that I, even I am happy to see you) :D

cool

@RolandTaylor :D

@Explorer XD

<verymuch

<infinitelyandthensome

5:35 PM

@GeorgeEdison

bugs.launchpad.net/stackapplet/+bug/885613/comments/2

planning on adding a manually-configured list function?

Well... I'm not sure at this point.

It would be trivial to append Area51 to the end of the list.

@GeorgeEdison imo, the requested use case is a fringe-case

@GeorgeEdison got any plans for StackApplet in the future that would be exciting to hear about?

I'm considering some suggestions :P... but I still have to crystalize them :)

@RolandTaylor I'm considering a complete rewrite in Qt :P

@GeorgeEdison Qt... isnt that the KDE base for apps?

or am I wrong?

5:40 PM

@TheEvilOne It's a cross-platform C++ framework.

ah

i've seen a ton of Qt stuff in KDE hence why i asked

@GeorgeEdison nice!

@GeorgeEdison bugs.launchpad.net/stackapplet/+bug/680659 <-- "Won't Fix" worthy?

since its almost a year old

writing time

so question

these sessions in Grand Sierra D...

do they get broadcast to all the streams/rooms?

5:56 PM

Yes.

Oct 31 at 12:59, by jrg

it pulls it off http://fragaria.canonical.com:8080/stream.flv

hehe, precise removed VLC again :P

@TheEvilOne They're video casted

video.ubuntu.com/live

OR fragaria.canonical.com:8080/stream.flv

If you want to open it in VLC like me.

still the openstack stuff, waiting for uefi secure boot

why do i have uefi without secure boot? feeling so insecure now. :..(

:D

@MarcoCeppi videocasted... but also audiocasted for users who are not here?

6:00 PM

sure, wait a minute

icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/grandsierra-d.ogg.m3u

Does he wear a helmet?

heh

@htorque i dont really care what i watch/listen to :P

where's UDS held?

@TheEvilOne Changes every UDS

Where to listen to in next? LTS upgrades or App development and the web standards community.

This one is in Orlando

6:10 PM

"Caribe Royale Hotel"

Six months ago it was in Budapest.

@OctavianDamiean if i'mi iaround, LTS Upgrades :P

Explorer

@RolandTaylor the room freshen up when you entered

I mean there is also Wayland Tech Preview but that only makes sense if you are there in person.

is the group photo available?

6:11 PM

Wayland?

Yea.

wayland.freedesktop.org

I know... I'm just surprised that they're talking about it.

any idea where the next is?

the next UDS

Nope.

@OctavianDamiean still going to listen to it

Q: My computer is a hard sleepy

6:13 PM

@Explorer :]

stop making me blush :D

jk!

My computer (Acer TravelMate 220) likes sleeping so much that I can't wake it up. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 (installed Nov 2011). Based on similar questions posted, it seems to have been an issue in the past, but not so much now. I'm open to any advice. Worse case, I can deactivate the sleep mod...

LOL

I guess you are right. Listening to it won't hurt. After all we'll know first what will happen next. :D

hehe awesome. :D

they changed the schedule again. hmmm.

Oh boy... almost got another package running clean through Lintian.

That only leaves one (plus the one I have to talk to Jorge about).

"Finger print authentication" got axed (or merged with another session) :-( → nope, it's been moved to friday :)

@jrg Gnome Session for Power Users. :o

6:18 PM

damn, openstack has a wonderful bug integration thingy

WHERE?

WHEN?

Bonaire 7 at 16:15

lol @ no questions

Alright, the schedule needs a rewrite. It is an awful website.

haha

"Ubuntu Friendly Programme: What it is and How it Works" ... and why "System Testing" crashes all the time.

:D

6:24 PM

just removed ~/.checkbox → it had 300mb leftovers

She forgot about Ask Ubuntu!

I hate that question

WILL MY COMPUTER WORK WITH UBUNTU

yes, now go away

There is only one valid answer. Strawberry pudding.

linux guys always had a different idea of "works" than people buying hardware... >:)

@StefanoPalazzo FIXED! askubuntu.com/questions/74163/…

6:26 PM

heh

no way

nice :)

Oh my god I love the new GMail design so much ... I better not tell how much.

I know! I want the freaking bounty!!

@OctavianDamiean how much?

slaps @OctavianDamiean

Better not tell. :D

6:27 PM

:P

But if it would be a woman I'd do nasty stuff to it. :P

:-O

lol

@sadmicrowave sure, that's what it's there for. :)

THOSE are good slides

6:28 PM

I'll wait a couple of days though in case someone comes up with an uber-answer in the meantime

not tons of text on it

screenshots and the like

@StefanoPalazzo no problem, thats a good idea

Now I can get back to more pressing matters - like how @OctavianDamiean told me approx 1 year ago he would make a 'Sad Microwave' image

Hey Pacman is awesome!

unfortunately, checkbox' gui is worse than pacman's :D

6:30 PM

Oh god. I thought you wouldn't recognize me. :(

since you changed your avatar?

lol

Yes. :D

The name gave it away

Hopefully you never have to avoid the cops

Damn.

Right I assume you still want a sad microwave icon?

jrg

@OctavianDamiean I love it.

6:32 PM

lol its ok - just giving you a hard time

hehe, why doesn't ara polido wanna say 'discoverability'? :D

Maybe she doesn't like the word.

ask ubuntu badge for UF testing? FINE WITH ME! :D

@htorque I cringed when I heard that

Ask Ubuntu badge?

What badge?

I want one too!

6:37 PM

:D

WHY POPEY WHY

i think it's a good sign that actually someone thinks about something like that :)

Seriously what badge?

There is none

lal

6:37 PM

someone mentioned something in the plananary

How would one get such a badge then?! :D

the "i ran system testing for ubuntu friendly"-badge that will be available by tomorrow.

>:D

no.

YES!

don't be lazy, dude...

just because that has nothing to do with AU...

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

6:38 PM

:D

heh

where's the other one? :D

i want a badges lens

"$USER ran 'rm -rf /' for the first time."

Also last time.

it actually doesn't work in ubuntu i've been told

A one-time badge.

6:42 PM

didn't try to verify, though. :D

Heck, let's try.

booting the vm

I'll setup a VM just to test that. :D

i'll kill an existing one :P

k

6:45 PM

Ah right.

Alvar

Ok, nothing new so far in this presentation.

Oh wow. Gedit starts to look good. seilo.geekyogre.com/2011/11/gedit-dash-0-1
