Don't worry. Thanks though. I'll order it in France together with the other central european freaks like @StefanoPalazzo. :D

Stefano Palazzo

It looked like this was just some shop

we could organize an excursion

Octavian Damiean

Heck yea!

William Hilsum

Damn... If only you came all the way to London, you could help me with all my Ubuntu related stuff! :P

"Western-Europe Ask Ubuntu Meetup at some shop in the middle of rural france where nobody ever went and you can't understand the locals and it'll be very expensive to get there, but I'll bring some crips and a projector" 2012

bioShark

How can I check what ubuntu is doing from the point I log in until unity is fully loaded?

Stefano Palazzo

22:03

sounds good?

@bioShark there are a few logs you can check

Octavian Damiean

@bioShark It probably reads a load of files to display your desktop how you left it.

William Hilsum

probably be cheaper just to get them to ship you a crate!!! they may even sponsor if you ask nice!

Stefano Palazzo

try dmesg and cat /var/log/syslog

William Hilsum

but... doesn't look like a big company/not sure they could :/

Octavian Damiean

@StefanoPalazzo but I'm totally for an Ask Ubuntu meetup in Germany.

Stefano Palazzo

22:07

the only real problem I see is getting there

I know a place that would provide a room, refreshments and some gear, so do other people probably

but you'd have to convince a bunch of them to travel quite a distance

there are really nice places everywhere round by where I live. a couple of hackspaces, the local lug, and "ping e.v.", which is right in western germany's beautiful countryside

just about far enough away from the ruhr that you can't smell the coal burning power plants anymore :)

bioShark

@Stefano Palazzo my problem is here: askubuntu.com/questions/99111/…

Stefano Palazzo

@OctavianDamiean I did help to organize a meetup for my Quake.de forum mates years and years ago, and we met at a conference, that would probably work

William Hilsum

Anyway, glad you liked that... i'll get going! If anyone does want a hand getting one, let me know... or... see you next time I have an Ubuntu problem!

Stefano Palazzo

heh, see you

Octavian Damiean

@WilliamHilsum Have you already considered getting in touch with the UK LoCo?

Stefano Palazzo

22:13

@bioShark if you still have that problem in two days, remind me to put a bounty on it

these driver problems can be so annoying

William Hilsum

@OctavianDamiean Don't know what the UK LoCo is :/ and, can't seem to find it on Google to make up I know what it is!

Stefano Palazzo

we should have a meetup next year at the chaos communication congress. They all hate ubuntu

bioShark

@Stefano Palazzo OK :) If It's very strange that it behaves so differently with a log-of and a reboot is fine. I got the suggestion to check if the open source drivers are not also loading...but I don't know how.

Stefano Palazzo

@bioShark I've never used anything other than intel graphics, but you can probably disable them in the "additional drivers" tool

by the way, hit Tab for @ping completion :)

bioShark

@StefanoPalazzo lol thx for that hit :)

*hint

Octavian Damiean

@WilliamHilsum That is the local community in the UK. Ubuntu users, contributors and developers that have meetings and try to support other users in their area.

ubuntu-uk.org

bioShark

@StefanoPalazzo In my additional drivers I have a green dot (meaning it's active) against ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. But I don't know if this is the open source or catalyst 12.1. I would guess it's the open source one

William Hilsum

@OctavianDamiean Sounds interesting... Is it at the Ubuntu HQ? I went there once a few years ago for a meeting... was interesting!

Octavian Damiean

I'm not sure how active they are and what exactly they do as I have my own LoCo which I'm trying to get running but as far as I know the UK one should be pretty active. You can try to contact someone that is near you. Maybe someone is willing to help you in person.

It is worth a try.

William Hilsum

Doesn't seem to look that active :/ ... well joined the mailing list - I will certainly go to the next one if I am free (and if the topics are not boring!)

Stefano Palazzo

I've been meaning to go to my local hackerspace for months :\

Stefano Palazzo

juancarlospaco

Stefano Palazzo

juancarlospaco

hahaha

ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1916268

Stefano Palazzo

we just got "Share on G+" yesterday, but a "+1" button would be fantastic

juancarlospaco

22:45

it is really language agnostic, just a button and a number

Stefano Palazzo

okay I must be going now. see you everybody :)

juancarlospaco

bye

@BrunoPereira I still haven't fixed the issue from askubuntu.com/questions/99111/… I have added some extra stuff in the question. Plus, I have filed a bug, because I have read others having same issues: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/922905
