7:03 PM
for the third time, anyone knows about this: code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/wiki/… ?
should i ask a question?
 
that's what I was suggesting last night :P
 
@htorque you know?
 
nope
 
me doesn't want to play this game again
 
@RolandTaylor damn you are old...
that was posted a week ago! ;)
 
7:06 PM
Oh god. It has auto in its name. It must fail.
 
and I've had it for months...
@Alvar point?
 
@RolandTaylor null really...
 
@StefanoPalazzo you know?
 
is reading "Understanding women, chapter 2010, section 3, article 5"
 
you better read a complete book about yourself or religion
 
7:14 PM
Indeed because that book does never end.
 
@RolandTaylor Until proven otherwise
 
I'm not doing anymore "reading", "fixing", or "taking the blame" from today :)
If I've got all the problems then I must not be worth it :)
 
oh noes, no "boot speed" session today :(
 
Handling Failure Gracefully sounds interesting.
 
7:19 PM
@OctavianDamiean :)
 
"Handling Failure Gracefully"
 
I may assure you that you are wrong about it. :D
 
@OctavianDamiean nope, trust me, I'm write.
 
the bood speed session has also been moved to tomorrow - meeeh

Q: Smudged elements

Gilad NaamanI recently noticed that some of the GUI elements are completely Smudged/Blurred (See Image). Is there any way to fix this?

troll.
 
7:24 PM
Tomorrow there is Multi-Monitor Support.
 
man, why can't you un-upvote comments?
wanted to flag @RolandTaylor's second comment :P
 
XD
Wow he's rather friendly.
 
@htorque Yea, just flag it.
 
I deleted... it.
 
@RolandTaylor you leave rather useless comments, what do you expect? :)
thanks :-)
 
7:28 PM
Wonder if anyone will flag his "your sarcasm is idiotic" comment. His question (and the title) are idiotic.
Didn't hear me say that...
sheesh
 
if you think the title sucks (it does), then edit it. if you can't because you don't know what's going on, then ask in the comment section. if that has already been done, just control yourself. :P
 
Indeed.
 
wow so...
everyone here is perfect and I'm not?
 
You gotta unfuck yourself because that is ... well not really the way to go.
 
no, just i am perfect.
 
7:29 PM
don't get me wrong, but I do a lot more than people realize...
and I get a load of flack for any mistakes
that's nonsense
 
No one said you don't do a lot but that what you did there was not constructive at all.
Rather destructive.
 
And no one else responds "negatively" in cases of suspected trolls?
There, I removed my "destructive, idiotic, sarcastic" comments...
Happy now?
do I get candy now?
 
What are you on about?
 
or will this continue?
Oh nothing...
Sorry - just defending myself from my regular lot in life...
 
Regarding this...
Why are they using ≈???
 
7:34 PM
no clue...
 
because of the faster-than-light measurements
 
Just wondered if that was part of the humor :P
 
@GeorgeEdison thanks for not telling me off btw
 
btw they are repeating the project (surprise :D)
 
@htorque Faster than light?
What's faster than light?
 
7:35 PM
well, the neutrino stuff from CERN
 
Are they talking about ponies?!
 
waylend session over?
 
jrg
@OctavianDamiean YES. Multimonitor support for Unity 2D sucks, I'm fine with 3Ds though
 
Sounds like it is over ... kinda.
 
I really really really would appreciate it if DisplayLink support worked out of the box.
 
7:37 PM
first i was mad because of session collisions, now i'm mad because they got moved to tomorrow - what a day! :D
 
> "The original experiment, reported last month, involved firing beams of neutrinos through the ground from Cern near Geneva to the Gran Sasso lab in Italy 720 kilometres (450 miles) away."
Bad day to be a miner.
 
"Whole system power management" → curacao5
 
I'm in Antigua 1 right now. LTS upgrades
 
jrg
Sounds boring, yet cool
 
7:42 PM
i may have an alcohol problem. everytime i read curacao i think about blue curacao liqueur. :D
 
Dude I swear I could kill for a good Blue Lagoon right now. :D
 
Hey, I found the bug in StackApplet.
 
jrg
google.com/… - just do it
 
jrg
that trick has been around for YEARS.
 
7:45 PM
Wow.
 
jrg
have fun?
 
I want that for Ask Ubuntu.
 
dinner! bbl
 
jrg
Is that a oversized not-orange carrot?!
 
wiki calls it raphanus
it's like a giant radish
 
jrg
7:48 PM
O_o
 
It tastes awful.
 
jrg
@OctavianDamiean hangon, a guy posted the javascript needed to replicate the barrel roll.
 
i'm loving it! :-)
 
jrg
@OctavianDamiean javascript:{var w,a,c;w="-webkit-";a=w+"transform";c=document.body.style;c[w+"transition"]=(a+" 5s");c[a]="rotate(360deg)";}
that does it.
 
jrg
7:52 PM
breaks the chatroom, but works fine on everthing else i've tried
 
writes "rotate(360deg)"
 
jrg
you'll need to paste into the javascript console of course. :P
 
oh, not the address bar?
doesn't that work too?
 
jrg
might work for the address bar
never tried it actually
nope, pasting in the address bar returns rotate(360deg). :P
 
like i could find where to open the js console in opera :D
 
7:56 PM
Oh it broke the chat, right.
 
well, i think i can live without rotate(360deg) :D
 
jrg
heh
 
damn, my giant radish tastes bitter... it's either too old or not old enough, dunno. :D
 
jrg
not old enough i'd say. :P
 
maybe - it's not as spicy as the ones i've eaten so far.
 
8:04 PM
Maybe it is just not good because it isn't.
 
xD
audio in bonaire3 down?
 
I'm tossing ideas around here... would anyone be interested in working on FlackBot's rewrite in Python?
Anyone at all?
 
I'd look at it... but not much else.
(I don't make promises, I'm prone to breaking them).
 
I understand.
But there would at least be some interest?
 
8:14 PM
Anyone else?
 
Interest yes, time no. :(
 
Interested: 2. Programmers: 0.
 
I'm a programmer. :D
 
I'm a...
blah
I'm a use of space, air, and water.
 
I'm not committing to anything more than what I'm doing right now
 
8:20 PM
Oh no - I didn't mean to imply you weren't programmers...
I meant that you weren't planning to be a regular programmer in the project.
 
That's cool - I'm a coder... programmer... no.
 
riminds himself of the differencce between 'infer' and 'imply'.
 
Hey all, I have a 10.10 machine on my network that is having problems "freezing" during update manager updates. There is no specific package that it freezes on, just freezes during when it encounters the first package
 
jrg
Interested, yes, time, no
python skills: nil
 
4 interested people - that's a good start.
 
8:24 PM
am i the first to say "not interested"? sorry, not into chat bots. they are too creepy.
 
Time: yes.
Interested: yes.
Python skills: no - but I've done python before.
Worth it: bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
 
@htorque That's alright.
 
You get the point.
 
Well I'm very busy myself... but I just wondered what everyone else thought.
 
I'll give each of my thoughts for a penny :D...

But it might not be related to FlackBot... or anything safe, for that matter.
 
8:26 PM
He needs a new logo though - if anyone wants to tackle that.
 
Well... after the feedback I got on the 2buntu logo - nuh uh.
(will stop talking now)
 
The 2buntu logo?
 
I just don't see the point of Flackbot still :\
 
jrg
@MarcoCeppi one could argue that you don't see the point of forums - yet people use them.
 
The rewrite should solve that problem.
 
jrg
8:30 PM
Flackbot is cool because he's unusual. :P
 
@jrg I see a point to the forums :)
Linear based discussions
 
jrg
Jorge doesn't. :P
 
Instead of focusing on pointless conversation (using silly RegEx's), he will focus on providing an English front-end to a trove of resources.
Example questions:
 
He does, he just agrees that the forums are not the place for Q&A
 
> What package provides 'ls'?
 
jrg
8:31 PM
way to say a lot without saying anything. ;P
 
He doesn't see a point to the Wiki :"P
 
> How many packages contain the phrase "test"?
 
jrg
@MarcoCeppi Ok, help.u.c is kinda pointless I have to agree. :P
 
> What is the latest version of Gnome?
...etc.
Doesn't that strike you as useful?
 
jrg
@GeorgeEdison interesting.
 
8:33 PM
Not really
 
The code will be structured into classes that provide functionality for a particular area and then separate code will take care of deciding when to use it.
 
I just type those questions into Google
but, I'm just saying - in my opinion
 
@jrg if that makes flackbot cool, I'm suing God. :)
 
(Thankfully He has a sense of humour like me).
 
jrg
8:34 PM
@RolandTaylor not sure how to interpret that.
 
Er... since when did Google tell you how many packages matched a particular string?
 
jrg
@GeorgeEdison true fact, it be down
 
> I'm suing God
good luck with that >:D
 
jrg
George just ninja'ed me.
 
8:36 PM
@jrg it's simple.
 
jrg
ok...
 
If FlackBot's is unusual, his creator made him that way.
If he is cool because his creator made him that way, then I need to ask why I'm not cool too...
 
doesn't flackbot have free will? :>
 
jrg
Ugh, Launchpad exploded.
lol. :P
 
That was, er... fast.
Irony: that user links to launchpad.net/polly which is down :)
 
jrg
8:38 PM
ehe
 
lol
not that again
 
@jrg let me guess.
 
You still don't get it.
 
jrg
that's right, I still don't.
heh, my ubuntu live USB detects my wifi, but my fresh install doesn't. what is wrong with that picture?
 
Bounty offered: Ruby Gems error with AtomicTV http://askubuntu.com/questions/71271/ruby-gems-error-with-atomictv #ruby
 
hm, maybe some firmware or other restricted stuff installed?
eg. did you tick the restricted software box when installing?
 
jrg
yeah, i did
haven't had problems in the past with that though
just purge ubuntu-restricted-extras and reboot, right?
 
no idea, just pointing out the main difference between live-cd and install :P
maybe it will implode, but yeah, you can try that
not sure though if that's not only a meta package?
ok, five minutes of badgerbadgerbadger are ENOUGH
 
jrg
8:45 PM
can't even find the package
guess i'll just do a reinstall, it'll only take 20 minutes.
kinda funny watching as all these ubuntu members join #launchpad
 
jrg
code hosting in LP?
 
Sure, why not?
 
@jrg i had enough after: You have been on a raft with a chicken for 1 minute 40 seconds.
:D
 
jrg
don't, because then we'll have hundreds of flackbot clones doing evil things.
@htorque You have been on a raft with a chicken for 2 minutes 35 seconds.
 
8:48 PM
@jrg No we won't.
Please read the project description.
 
jrg
just hosting the brains?
 
Yeah >:)
 
jrg
awesome.
i like it
 
It's useless without the JS and Qt stuff.
That way the communications can be improved without exposing the good stuff.
@Alvar: I think I fixed the bug.
 
jrg
Launchpad does not know where FlackBot hosts its code. that's kinda funny for some reason...
 
8:49 PM
When I google "tilt" I get a picture of marco ceppi. Does that make sence?!
 
@Alvar are you alive?
 
@GeorgeEdison so I've heard... I'll look into it when the next daily comes
@RolandTaylor never been more alive!
 
jrg
@Alvar is that a bad joke?
 
That will be in...
 
Does life make sense?
 
8:50 PM
> "in 4 hours (estimated)..."
 
@jrg nope
 
@GeorgeEdison cool! thanks! :)
 
jrg
@Alvar nice
@GeorgeEdison yeah, haven't taken a close look at him yet
 
@jrg The mods are everywhere! :O
@RolandTaylor yes: mission to kill microsoft! :)
 
jrg
8:52 PM
:D
 
gtg
cya all! :P
 
@Alvar sigh...
way to kill it
guess today is not my day
 
;)
 
@RolandTaylor what day is yours?
 
8:53 PM
@Alvar 31st of November.
 
jrg
@htorque You have been on a raft with a chicken for 8 minutes 26 seconds.
Still going here.
 
@jrg Where are you reading that?
 
@GeorgeEdison you don't want to know.
The music is annoying.
 
jrg
still going... :D
this is addicting. :P
 
@jrg you are... patient.
I stopped after about 20 seconds.
 
jrg
8:56 PM
10 minutes.
 
crazy
 
if there was a mute button, I could stay for weeks
 
jrg
@RolandTaylor I prefer the term "artificially insane"
 
if i were on a raft with a chicken, i would pretty soon kill and eat it :P
 
jrg
hehe
 
8:57 PM
I would fall asleep.
 
jrg
@RolandTaylor check your hostname on IRC
should have your cloak applied
 
should I rejoin?
 
jrg
just do a /whois rolandixor
 
jrg
:(
 
8:59 PM
Same here.
 
should I rejoin?
 
* [RolandiXor] (~rolandixo@adsl-196-3-201-105.adsl.sunbeach.net): Roland Taylor
* [RolandiXor] card.freenode.net :Washington, DC, USA
* [RolandiXor] is using a secure connection
* [RolandiXor] is logged in as rolandixor
* [rolandixor] End of WHOIS list.
 
oh yay
now everyone knows where I am...
 
No, that's where the IRC server is.
 
it doesn't work btw
> ~rolandixo@adsl-196-3-201-105.adsl.sunbeach.net
 
jrg
9:00 PM
hm, they just haven't applied it yet. probably still verifying i'm really jrgifford, the group contact. :P
and that i can technically request that.
 
it's now being done
 
jrg
how stable is btfsr in 11.10?

Q: What is the current situation with BtrFS?

Jo-Erlend SchinstadIt feels like I've read about BtrFS forever, but there has always been something that makes me not want to use it. But I'm guessing things are improving, so I'd like to know what the situation is currently. That means in 11.10. Do we have tools to fix a broken BtrFS? I've read that this has be...

jrg
@RolandTaylor congrats, you haz cloak now
 
9:04 PM
or maybe not..
I don't see any change yet
 
jrg
shows up here
@GeorgeEdison Hm, guess I'll stick with ext4...
this sucks, i can't use pigeon, can't use btrfs. :(
 
I would be way more productive if my goddamn laptop would let me charge my batteries. That'd allow me to work on Flakbot.

Q: Smudged elements in Gnome Shell

Gilad NaamanI recently noticed that some of the GUI elements are completely smudged/blurred. Is there any way to fix this?

Can we close this now?
He needed to clean his glasses.
Afk
 
9:20 PM
The tools PPA is about to get packages for a bunch of older releases...
...just warning everyone when they see 25+ packages in the PPA.
 
good night guys!
 
@ajmitch: Can we delete the pygobject from the PPA now that it is in -updates?
 
@GeorgeEdison It's been deleted for a while
 
It's still showing up.
 
9:36 PM
Then delete it
 
Okay.
 
jrg
Anyone ever had a install hang on "Saving installed packages"...?
 
Done.
 
@GeorgeEdison Want to link me to FlackBots source code?
 
Er... the old version?
 
9:46 PM
Yea.
I mean the one that needs a rewrite.
 
One sec...
@OctavianDamiean Here is most of the JS code: paste.ubuntu.com/719394
