Shiki

What

Marco Ceppi

@OctavianDamiean No idea

I might just hide away and work on charms some more

Shiki

@RolandTaylor - You asked, then you answered and got so many votes? Isn't that farming? :D

Octavian Damiean

5:50 PM

No. That is perfectly valid.

Shiki

btw a long standing problem on Ubuntu

my T500 got an Intel sound card

it gets muted by default, and volume is 0 in ALSA

so unless you want to listen to your boot sound only (which is lame IMO), you have to open up "alsamixer" and then do "alsactl store"

Octavian Damiean

Sounds like a bug.

Shiki

well, imho OSS is much better than PulseAudio or ALSA.
Why, you may ask...

Simple. OSS worked for me. Every. Single. Time.
When I had a USB headphone, it worked. When I had multiple sources, it worked.
The graphical mixer is awesome.

Octavian Damiean

Scaling the Ubuntu Community by Taking It Local sounds quite interesting.

htorque

desktop boot speed → end of uds. :..(

Octavian Damiean

5:57 PM

No, after that there is Juju Advocacy.

Marco Ceppi

I'll be in that session

Octavian Damiean

Then six months of Ubuntu hacking and then the next UDS. :D

Shiki

Oh so he checked that there will be no sound

thats cool

brunopereira81

(hello)

Shiki

hey @brunopereira81

Octavian Damiean

5:58 PM

Next UDS I'll attend in person again.

Marco Ceppi

Yes! @OctavianDamiean I might meet you there :)

Octavian Damiean

Awesome! :)

htorque

Marco Ceppi

I'm not on stage yet :P

When you hear some crazy guy yelling about Ask Ubuntu

htorque

thanks jorge for killing my speakers

:D

Marco Ceppi

6:00 PM

Okay, going to kill my chat window

Shiki

That's just sad. :D

brunopereira81

@MarcoCeppi your going now?

Marco Ceppi

Octavian Damiean

NOOO!! I wanted to ping you on stage. :(

Marco Ceppi

Don't want to forget

brunopereira81

6:02 PM

@MarcoCeppi gl man! and remember: they are just as scared of you as you are of them!

Octavian Damiean

I think Marco has no problem with that. :)

brunopereira81

Octavian Damiean

It is just like a session.

Marco Ceppi

@htorque thx

Octavian Damiean

Just like mine. :D

I was waiting for a ... to control anyone else mums machine. :D

Shiki

:DDD

brunopereira81

6:06 PM

lol

htorque

remotely control mums.

Octavian Damiean

lol

htorque

$ make pancakes

Shiki

Now you mention it, I'm quite hungry. :D

Octavian Damiean

mum --volume 0

brunopereira81

6:07 PM

"to control my moms machine" should never be said, its just wrong

Shiki

oooow

codes are not for moms... not for women. Seriously.

brunopereira81

htorque made me crave for pancakes... :S

htorque

:P :P :P

Shiki

TeamViewer should release a linux client imo.

Octavian Damiean

Here is Marco.

htorque

6:09 PM

\o/

:D

haha

lol

I kinda hate teamview, its what my company uses for "group discussions", its bad, rly bad

Octavian Damiean

Awesome sentence. :D

Shiki

6:10 PM

Ah no I only use it to help amateurs. It's really easy.

Link the quick .exe stuff, he/she tells me the codes, there we go

It's slow for normal VNC/RDP use, but perfect for newbies

Hmm

He is in a bit of a hurry... (is the time limited there?)

htorque

marco on speed. explaining ask ubuntu in five minutes is insane :D

Octavian Damiean

Yes. Five minutes.

Shiki

Oh... @htorque agreed. :/

Well, One sentence: Come and visit askubuntu.com.

:D

Octavian Damiean

He is good at explaining it in five minutes though!

brunopereira81

still has time left :P

htorque

6:14 PM

@OctavianDamiean yeah!

Octavian Damiean

heh

Shiki

hmm I would make a small xterm open with a small list where to go

Octavian Damiean

I'm a bit worried though. I'm not sure if he breaths.

Shiki

:D

htorque

take one deep breath before the talk

:D

Shiki

6:16 PM

Good job @MarcoCeppi. :D

Octavian Damiean

Very well done @MarcoCeppi!

htorque

yeah!

brunopereira81

got more info in 5 mins then on 35 days on the site! :P

htorque

:D

Shiki

Ubuntu one costs a bit too much IMHO

Marco Ceppi

6:18 PM

Octavian Damiean

high-fives

Shiki

python. bleh. do not want.

Marco Ceppi

Sorry, I was trying to clearly talk as fast as possible

Breathing is for noobs

Octavian Damiean

:D

htorque

like sleeping - a waste of time.

Marco Ceppi

6:19 PM

@brunopereira81 - COMMENTCEPTION

htorque

6:24 PM

@brunopereira81 don't scare ubuntu people away :P

@brunopereira81 launchpad.net/~micahg :P

brunopereira81

sorry, he deserved it, no? give a user rotten fish and he will be happy, teach him how to fish and he will fish, wait until the fish is wroth and then trow it at you!

Shiki

:D

brunopereira81

@htorque what is there on the PPA?

htorque

nothing, that was just informative ;-)

brunopereira81

no later version of pidgin, the answer said to remove the ppa that was invalid and that the latest version of pidgin is already in the ubuntu repos, no need to add anything at the moment, I stand correct! :P

htorque

6:29 PM

PPAs are really overrated.

brunopereira81

its part of the CV I guess, edited the answer to reflect that the answer was valid and that no PPA is needed for version 2.10 of pidgin.

Octavian Damiean

WOW!

That is amazing!

htorque

no idea

i have no use for stuff like that

brunopereira81

?

htorque

i'm pretty much your average desktop user :..(

Shiki

6:35 PM

I like PPAs... but I only maintain only one, the one for MediaInfo

Octavian Damiean

Working over SSH on a server just got so much more enjoyable!

htorque

@brunopereira81 we are talking about the current talk at uds: video.ubuntu.com/live

brunopereira81

@htorque was not listening :(

is this a duo team? not fair, they should get 2,5mins then!

htorque

that's fun, there should be more of those sessions

Octavian Damiean

:)

@GeorgeEdison I've added a few more questions and I've also greyed out the translation part since I couldn't find any good translation API.

George Edison

Ah, cool.

htorque

George Edison

@Allan I didn't really understand all of the commands! what was it about?

this is just so awesome! :)

O yeah! star of the day earned! :D

Octavian Damiean

8:39 PM

@MarcoCeppi Test server setup and ready for working on charms. :D

Marco Ceppi

YEAH BOY!

@OctavianDamiean Which games do you run?

Octavian Damiean

Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 4 (mainly CoD4).

Marco Ceppi

Sweet

Those aren't in Steam IIRC

Octavian Damiean

Nope.

Marco Ceppi

We could totally use a CoD4 and BF2 server charm

Pull down the minecraft charm for an example

Octavian Damiean

8:53 PM

I'll take a look. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. The only problematic part is that you have to have the Call of Duty 4 files from the DVD uploaded to the server.

Marco Ceppi

yeah, so you can push those files on to S3 if you had to

Octavian Damiean

So we have some very exciting months in front of us eh?

Writing Charms like a boss!

Marco Ceppi

Hell yes

I'm super pumped for Charmin'
