@LuisAlvarado LOL
I agree :D
Wait, you don't actually sign the Leadership CoC like the regular CoC?
jrg
jrg
I don't think so
Mhmm, sounds like a good question for AU. :P
jrg
jrg
i think the leadership CoC is more of a "In addition to the CoC, heres some guidelines"
a step ahead of you. i think. :P
19:03
@OctavianDamiean I felt bad about that video... it was sub-par quality.
jrg
jrg
ok, i won't ask
@jrg Well we can actually ask it both and then close both as a dupe of each other. :D
jrg
jrg
@OctavianDamiean .... yeah that'll be fun
CLOSE ALL THE THINGS!
Closing users would be much of fun, "I voted to close you as too vague".
2
19:06
That'd be a DQC.
Duplicate Question Cycle.
jrg
jrg
@OctavianDamiean the system won't allow that
we tried
:(
Not even as a moderator? evil grin
jrg
jrg
If one of us wins we'll have to try that. grin
Three of us will win. So while two of those that win try that another one should do this.

@OctavianDamiean rlemon.github.com now I feel like if you win I should get to choose 3 questions to get closed no questions asked.

Q: How do I sign the Ubuntu Code Of Conduct?

Marco CeppiIn order to submit patches and items to certain projects it says I need to "Sign the Code of Conduct". How do I do this?

Anyone want to give an awesome answer and get lots of rep?
jrg
jrg
@rlemon what, no love for me? :(
@MarcoCeppi I CAN DO THAT
actually i think its a dupe
@OctavianDamiean you can get the source files from github.com/rlemon/rlemon.github.com
@jrg I will have something else for you.. don't worry i'll show my love.
jrg
jrg
@rlemon oh crap... unicorns + captain picard + abuse of my gravatar = what you're going to do.
cringe
19:12
@jrg i couldn't find the dupe
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi i can't find it now either.
Actually... its that time of year again - aka, the "Lets make a new PGP key!" time.

Q: How do I sign the Leadership Code of Conduct?

Octavian DamieanIn addition to the Code of Conduct there is the the Leadership Code of Conduct. Is it required to sign the Leadership Code of Conduct as well or does signing the regular Code of Conduct suffice to cover both?

@OctavianDamiean already answered that one for you :)
<li>signed the <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/100275/how-do-i-sign-the-ubuntu-code-of-conduct">Ubuntu Code of Conduct</a> and agrees to abide by the <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/leadership-conduct">Ubuntu Leadership Code of Conduct</a></li>
19:15
@jrg apparently I don't need to make it! 29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnuifmF5SN1qm0kpzo1_500.jpg
You can't sing the LCOC, you just agree to abide by it
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi want instructions on making a PGP key as well?
@jrg just link to the pgp question
19:15
Well I guess it is still not bad to have the question around for reference. If you want to write an answer @MarcoCeppi. :)
jrg
jrg
k
I don't like reputation, someone else can answer it :)
@OctavianDamiean "Is it required to sign the Leadership Code of Conduct as well or does signing the regular Code of Conduct suffice to cover both?"
that doesn't make sense to me, neither is required
...don't you need to sign one of them to create a PPA?
Yea I just figured that the sentence doesn't look good at all. :)
19:18
no just the CoC iirc
right LCoC is for things like, AU Moderator, and other places which have illusions of leadership :)
jrg
jrg
i can't find the pgp question
then it should probably be a new question
@MarcoCeppi what don't you like about reputation? The free cars or the free lunch?

Q: How do I make a PGP key?

jrgHow do I make a PGP key? I'd like to have it for signing PPA uploads and such.

if someone wants to answer that...
i'll award a bounty if someone has a good answer with lots of screenshots
Saw it on the Meta, and was wondering, how long do we wait before we start flagging questions for which the OP doesn't provide enough info despite of a comment asking them to as "too localized" ?
sadly, I am too busy to answer any of those atm
jrg
jrg
@nitstorm I wait a week
3 months is the criteria I use
@jrg Roger that!
19:23
can we link to comments?
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi well, thats after the 2 months of no activity.
@RolandTaylor we can now
was rolled out in the new build
@jrg okay, how do we do it?
jrg
jrg
@RolandTaylor click the date time stamp next to a comment
I'm on it.
@MarcoCeppi Cool :)
19:24
The PGP answer.
jrg
jrg
ok awesome @OctavianDamiean.
@OctavianDamiean can you include adding it to a launchpad account, or should i just do that in my answer for the other one?
because somehow, somewhere it needs to get to LP.
@jrg I can't seem to do it
at least not on the elections page
I wanted to ask if a comment on my nomination was appropriate
(if I do ask, I will make a room for that discussion)
@jrg Mhmm, not sure. I'd say it deserves its own question.
People may just want to create a PGP key without uploading it to LP.
@OctavianDamiean i would just add "If you want to upload to launch pad..." given LPs weight in the community
jrg
jrg
@RolandTaylor oh, its disabled for elections page
19:30
confirmed - it's on the election page that I can't link :P
@MarcoCeppi I guess you're right. Don't have to make the user search for a second question to do that.
@jrg Want to rephrase your question to include LP?
jrg
jrg
@OctavianDamiean sure
wait

A: How do I sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct?

Luis AlvaradoAs you say, in order to have use launchapd to its fullest and have the ability to submit patches, help in certain projects that you find interesting and overall be involved in the launchpad community and other related communities in launchpad there is a "Code of Conduct" that you must first agree...

is this legit?
you can sign without touching the command line?
@jrg no, you have to download, sign it with your key, upload it
You also have to submit your key to the ubuntu key server
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi thats what I thought
it's a few more steps than that :)
jrg
jrg
19:37
more involved than this? - askubuntu.com/a/100285/6005
(i wrote it from memory, i'm about to go through it with my shiny new PGP key)
Uhm, should I explain the Advanced key options or should I leave that to the more in-depth guides available on the web and just reference them for further information?
jrg
jrg
advanced key options, as in expiration dates and such?
Because the default settings are alright.
Yup.
jrg
jrg
leave them for other places
this is openPGP 101 here.
Yea, thought so too.
19:39
Asked a question on Meta here
0
Q: Why am I not able to upvote comments on the Nominees page?

nitstormI see that certain comments are upvoted on the Nominees/Election page. But when I click the upvote button on any comment, it does not get an upvote. Why is that so? Is a certain amount of rep required? Or do you need to be one of the nominees? Or is there some other criteria that I need to fulfil...

@nitstorm what does this URL tell you? debug-02.netdna-cdn.com
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi i commented with that... :P
That I am hitting the Amsterdam Network
Got it, closing the question
jrg
jrg
you're screwed
@jrg LOL :P Agreed :P
jrg
jrg
19:41
its fixed, but amsterdam is just... slow
HAHA, it's a known issue
jrg
jrg
Removed because it isn't funny, and you'll all star it.
@jrg LOL :P
Deleted the question
Stars anyways
MOAR STARS! TILL IT TWINKLES!
jrg
jrg

@RolandTaylor not funny....
Alright, the PGP Key generation part is done. Now to the uploading part.

Q: How to manage users and groups?

ehdeJust switched from 10.04 to 11.10. I'm wondering about the limited options in the GUI for managing users and groups. Where is the old GUI to change groups, id's, etc. I know that I can do this from cli, that's no problem. But I want this comfortable GUI back.

can you make a 12.04 answer for this?
that part of the UI won't change
will do
Hello, I'm having a crazy-making mouse problem in ubuntu. 2 diff mice, ubuntu is "ghost" scrolling about 1 page up or down depending on where I'm at on a web page. I'm using Xubuntu 64bit 11.10. Any suggestions on where to start?
I'm so growing me one of those!
This is why I use Google+.
9GAG, Reddit, Imgur, and RSS reader.... all in one.
Now, return to what you were doing folks :)...
20:16
@RolandTaylor that is why I use twitter..

not sure :D
I could get one technically.

A strange package with a cell phone.

jrg

ok, its back. They're coming for you Neo and I don't know what they're going to do
I think the other guy has a god complex or something.
@jrg Good enough? :)
I think I have more screenshots than text in that answer. :P

I'm getting closer to the mod tools. :)
@OctavianDamiean might be there before you know it :)
Who knows. :)
... do you mean 20K? -- trust me, there is very little difference between 10k and 20k
No no, I mean the 10k tools.
I actually know how they are from SO (where I get the headache from using it :D).
That is because of the amount of flags on SO.
Managed to get the flag count down by forty, consumed all of my flags for that day, then I checked back after about two hours and they where back to the level I started from.
where are the fonts stored in Ubuntu
~/.fonts does not exist for me...
20:40
/usr/share/fonts

RED PILL.
Actually it is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/
Ok after hacking a couple of minutes I found the guy that was giving everybody a -1

I love me a chance to throw cash at the EFF

@LuisAlvarado I don't want to be nitpicky but that should actually be VoK (Victim of Killer). Just sayin'. :P
21:06
evening .o/
@BrunoPereira - hi!
@OctavianDamiean why is your greeter missing a arm?
Terrible byte accident on the databus. He lost a character, poor dude.
just found one of the most awesome games I've ever played! :D
21:11
Pong.
Frozen Synapse! :D
it's just so much fun
@Alvar its great! did you get the sound track also?
Doesn't look anything like Pong, I don't like it.
21:12
but you should play against people you know, it's much more fun then.
jrg
jrg
@rlemon heh
@OctavianDamiean Get glasses now! I said one of the...
Pong is the single most amazing game ever. Not kiddin'. :P
@OctavianDamiean never played it, what's it like?
@OctavianDamiean (if you lived in a cave for the last 20 years...)
21:16
@BrunoPereira I was born 20 years ago.
@BrunoPereira BAM!
@Alvar pong is the 80's electronic table tennis.
@Alvar lol, young one. I miss my 20s :P (I know you know what pong is!)
Pong (marketed as PONG) is one of the earliest arcade video games, and is a tennis sports game featuring simple two-dimensional graphics. While other arcade video games such as Computer Space came before it, Pong was one of the first video games to reach mainstream popularity. The aim is to defeat the opponent in a simulated table tennis game by earning a higher score. The game was originally manufactured by Atari Incorporated (Atari), who released it in 1972. Allan Alcorn created Pong as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell based the idea on a...
@rlemon I know I just hoped to make @octavian really MAD :D
@BrunoPereira It was a joke :D (I'm 20, but I know what pong is...)
hey man, some people don't understand the addiction to games like bubble bobble.
unless you grew up playing them
21:18
@rlemon Bub and Bob? :D
No one can make me mad. Well there is someone but there is a legit reason.
@OctavianDamiean pc sucks and MAc rules. ;)
android platform sucks bad
is an arcade game by Taito, first released in 1986 and later ported to numerous home computers and game consoles. The game, starring the twin Bubble Dragons and , is an action-platform game in which players travel through one hundred different stages, blowing and bursting bubbles, avoiding enemies and collecting a variety of items. The game became very popular and led to a long series of sequels and spin-offs. The main goal of the game is to rescue Bub and Bob's girlfriends from monsters. It is also notable for being an early example of a game with multiple endings, which depended on...

@Alvar your never too young to feel a kick in the ass... keep it up
jrg
jrg
@Alvar remember what?
@rlemon I love bouble bubble I played that on a old mac!!!! :D
@fossfreedom oh did it end up being the same in 12.04?
21:19
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named makes me mad because he kills my precious unicorns.
@Alvar :P lol
@OctavianDamiean Oli?
@jrg my and @octavianDamiean HUGE argument on that topic...
jrg
jrg
@OctavianDamiean Is He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named The Jobs or the Gates?
Lord Voldemort of course.
@rlemon do you remember command & conquer 1 ? :D
jrg
jrg
21:20
AHHHHGGGG. YOU NAMED THE NAME.
I still listen to the original music! :D
@Alvar ohh yea
there is a js version online
html5 experiment.
@rlemon GIVE ME!
now
@JorgeCastro - yes - problem with alpha's, stuff like software center keeps crashing. installing from terminal works though and hence I've updated that way.
FAST!!!
21:21
Next time he tries to kill a unicorn I'll round house kick him in the face.
@rlemon REALLY!!
@fossfreedom ah ok
Oh yea, I've tried that one, looks interesting.
@fossfreedom People on the forum keep linking to the dupe of it, so I flagged it to be merged with the one you just edited
21:21
I like the tower defense one most.
@rlemon OMGGGGGG I won't sleep tonight! :D
@Alvar Believe me you will.
@rlemon I owe everything to you know, my lord.
LMAO - I found that trying to get my old C&C cd to work on Win7 (nogo btw)
@rlemon I've been there..
@rlemon it's a freeware now btw!
@rlemon google it
21:26
@JorgeCastro - should we be starting the general cleanup of 11.10 tags now or wait for the beta?
I was going to wait for the beta
Why Wait :)
or at least until feature freeze
which is like 2 weeks away anyway
I got your back @MarcoCeppi
jrg
jrg
@MarcoCeppi because we should always wait until we have no choice but to have tons of front page domination.
21:27
A think a bunch of it will just be untagging 11.10 ones
ok so i'm writing / modifying this captcha script. is there something special I have to do with my fonts?
I just tried dumping my UbuntuMon0-B.ttf in and seeing how the captchas looked with it... but file_exists() returns null, and navigating to the tts from the addressbar gives me 500
captchas are such a bad idea... F-IT if bots want to register let them register. I don't care anymore!
jrg
jrg
@rlemon do what ondina did for their captcha
do the squiggly line thing
but seriously, why do I need one if i'm not hosting a service that would boast fake users.
does a CRM/CMS need captchas???
what really should be taken care of: ondina.com, ondina.ca, ondina.org, ondina.net <- Y U NO OWN THESE?!?! because really, when guessing TLD these are the first... co's and biz's are last on the list.
jrg
jrg
21:44
@rlemon ondina.com is like, super expensive.
Occupy Ondina - Movement to secure all TLD for Ondina
