| <dsas> a resolution applet on the desktop by default? | |
| <cwr> Hello, does anyone know the difference between totem-gstreamer and totem-xine? Is one newer/better than the other? | |
| <PriceChild> hey cwr | |
| <PriceChild> they're just different ways of doing things | |
| <cwr> halleluliah | |
| <PriceChild> different engines | |
| <PriceChild> personally i prefer xine | |
| <PriceChild> it only requires 2 packages to run basically everything | |
| <cwr> cool, that's what most of the forums have been saying, thanks | |
| <PriceChild> gstreamer needs loads of random "ugly" "bad" packages which is a hastle | |
| <cwr> cheers | |
| <brush01uk_> Good Night ALL, enjoy your weekend ( Barry Brush01uk ) | |

| <anti-net_> tsmithe, i don't speak germen | |
| <anti-net_> well I do a bit, but not enough to make conversation | |
| <tsmithe> but enough to say "danke gut"? | |
| <anti-net_> tsmithe, this is ubuntu-UK! | |
| <anti-net_> now for a chance to play with the special toys, can you tell me what language we speak in the UK? | |
| <tsmithe> cornish | |
| <anti-net_> Your scarily digging deeper into my personal life, isn't that cute | |
| <tsmithe> do you speak cornish? | |
| <anti-net_> No put I live in cornwall | |
| <anti-net_> and I use to live in a germen-speaking country | |
| <tsmithe> wow! | |
| <tsmithe> so you do speak german! | |
| <tsmithe> wirklich? | |
| <anti-net_> it was a very long time ago tsmithe and i've forgotten most of it | |

| <tsmithe> chav | |
| <tsmithe> innit | |
| <popey> moo | |
| <AdamBagnall> baa | |
| <binary2k2> woof | |
| <apokryphos> kehh | |
| <binary2k2> popey, and all: I had a go at makin one of those screencasts like alans, but on kubuntu. | |
| <binary2k2> same as the updates one, but with adept | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <binary2k2> i put it on google vids, but the quality is crap, so i'd download it from archive.org | |
| <popey> what makes you say the quality is crap? | |
| <binary2k2> i mean the google version | |
| <binary2k2> not my version :p | |
| <popey> what, the flash video is hard to see what's going on? | |
| <binary2k2> yeah, it's verry fiuzzy | |
| <binary2k2> it was scaled from 1024x768 to 480x360 | |
| <popey> better than youtube! | |
| <binary2k2> yeah | |
| <binary2k2> tinyurl'd ogg version: http://tinyurl.com/y35p86/20061111_installing_updates_kubuntu.ogg | |
| <loudmouthman> ello all . | |
| <binary2k2> just so ya know, I don't normally use adept (i use synaptic), so it was a learning experience for me | |
| <loudmouthman> ooh more screen casts going up ? excellent ive been sending a new ubuntu interested computer user to them. | |
| <binary2k2> it's my 1st attempt, and I don't have "the voice of the balls" like popey, so be kind :-P | |
| <loudmouthman> you know what occurs to me is there is another value to these screen casts. they enable the developers to see how some users are using their interface. | |
| <binary2k2> now wouldn't it be fun if the developers make screencasts to show how they use the interface | |
| <loudmouthman> plus ive been thinking whilst sitting in my dazed fever ridden mind state ( I have man flu ! ) that being able to extend screen capture to screencast capture would make some support roles easier ( apart from the I cant email or switch on my pc problems ! ) . | |
| <loudmouthman> binary2k2. yes it would. its kinda fun going to MSDev conferences because the dev guys often do things that have us going "ohhhhh! , thats what the button was for ! " | |
| <popey> pondering which screencasts to make tonight | |
| <popey> I have two currently in the bag, but want to do a batch of them | |
| <anti-net_> how about dual monitors? | |
| <popey> that's not easy to capture | |
| <anti-net_> :-) | |
| <popey> you can't show the results | |
| <anti-net_> hmm true | |
| <popey> I only really want to do things that are confined to the desktop | |
| <popey> typical tasks, not advanced stuff yet | |
| <popey> i think I need a general "tour of the desktop" | |
| <binary2k2> how about restricted formats? | |
| <popey> yes, that's a good idea | |
| <anti-net_> have you posted the one you were doing yesterday popey ? | |
| <loudmouthman> well how about ... oh what binary2k2 said | |
| <popey> yes, restricted formats is a good idea | |
| <popey> useful for lots of newbies | |
| <loudmouthman> right scuse me a mo I have to lug this bloody poweredge 2950 from here to the server room ! | |
| <popey> one that does mp3 / wmv / real audio etc | |
| <binary2k2> may be quite a long screencast tho, you have to do all your reserch too | |
| <popey> shouldn't be too bad | |
| <popey> could do a demo of easyubuntu and one of automatix too | |
| <popey> but I would normally shy away from those two | |
| <popey> I don't usually recommend people use them | |
| <binary2k2> it's the was most newbies do it | |
| <popey> only because nobody showed them how to do it properly | |
| <popey> people are lazy | |
| <binary2k2> yeah | |
| <binary2k2> besides, it's more satisfying to do it the manual way | |
| <popey> indeed, and that's what screencasts are all about - showing the right way to do stuff | |
| <binary2k2> yeah, i actually pointed my friend to the flash screencast yesterday | |
| <binary2k2> he rung me and said "how do i install flash, i've downloaded it from macromedia, now what?" | |
| <loudmouthman> i know I use Automatix ( probably sinful of me <grin> ) to show people easy install process. | |
| <binary2k2> so i told him to delete the download and do it the right way | |
| <popey> the developers recommend not using automatix | |
| <popey> it can knacker machines | |
| <popey> and that's been shown when people go from dapper to edgy they have issues during the upgrade as a result of automatix | |
| <loudmouthman> yeah tole you it was sinful. | |
| <anti-net_> is automatrix really that bad that i'll kill boxes? | |
| <loudmouthman> ive heard that as well ive pointed out that it needs to be "unwound" before you update | |
| <popey> it can knacker the package management, yes | |
| <loudmouthman> nah it doesnt kill boxes it just "forks" the packagae manager a little . | |
| <popey> which is critical in an upgrade | |
| <anti-net_> hmmm fair enough | |
| <binary2k2> that's propably why all these people are having trouble upgrading, my upgrade to edgy went without a hitch, which was a nice surprise | |
| <loudmouthman> i guess we will wait for MS to take gadgets and pretty to the devs and ask for it to be easier. by all accounts Fiest fixes most of this | |
| <anti-net_> im going to do a clean install of edgy somtime | |
| * loudmouthman is about to clean install edgy onot his Xp64 box to see "what happens" | |
| <loudmouthman> scuse me a mo again .. gotta go discover which etherport i just plugged that server into ! | |
| <loudmouthman> sigh this server room for the client needs a complete new ring and a new UPS. the 2950 is about to push the limits of what I can run on the ring. | |
| <loudmouthman> right time to go and make sure all the other servers are on UPS and not running crucial stuff as I have visions of powering on the dell and wathcing the lights go out<Grin> | |
| <loudmouthman> wel that wasnt so bad.. i powered on the dell and the dinky little 3rd party UPS is now screaming at me <Grin> | |
| <anti-net_> loudmouthman, are you working on a sunday? | |
| <loudmouthman> anti-net . yeah :-( its the only time some customers will let me commision servers. and anyway they pay triple rate. | |
| <anti-net_> you should be in church! <very evil grin while stroking a white fluffy cat> | |
| <loudmouthman> I tell you what though its criminal the specifications we have to put in for windows boxes to support 10 users. 3rd party windows app people really like to play it safe. | |
| <loudmouthman> anti-net I was in church .. but I back slided years ago due to my "lack of regard for authority figures" e.g. Sharon and I refused to do "preperation for marriage " courses | |
| <loudmouthman> note to group : ive been married for 8 happy years the last 4 I dont talk about <grin> | |
| <Gargoyle> If my server was going to standby? What log files could I look in to check? | |
| <loudmouthman> Gargoyle. syslog at least and messages should be where to find things | |
| <Gargoyle> messages just has a -- MARK -- every 30 mins. | |
| <Gargoyle> Actually, that's every 20 mins | |
| <Gargoyle> But it seems to be down every now and then. | |
| <Gargoyle> then it starts answering pings again, and theres no sign of anything server side. | |
| <loudmouthman> Gargoyle , is it possible that you have a hardware issue on the network card or mobo? | |
| <Gargoyle> Don't think so. I ran it at home for the best part of a week without problem. | |
| <anti-net_> I had a problem with a machine disappearing and returning again a while back, turned out to be the cat5 | |
| <Gargoyle> That's what I thought. | |
| <Gargoyle> Might try and see if I can get someone at the DC to replace the cable. | |
| <loudmouthman> id second that cat5 and crappy switches do the same issue. | |
| <X3N> if it were the machine you'd get eth link down or something | |
| <binary2k2> crap, sent an email to the list and it went twice :P | |
| * anti-net_ preps his ultr-abusive e-mail in reply to binary2k2 double post | |
| <anti-net_> ;-) | |
| * binary2k2 preps his mail filter to block ultr-abusive e-mail :-D | |
| * anti-net_ preps his nuclear missiles | |
| <anti-net_> mwhahahaha | |
| <anti-net_> I think its time for me to take my pills | |
| <binary2k2> yeah, or the USA will be after you on their war on torror :P | |
| <anti-net_> no i've got nuclear missiles, im fine, they'll leave me alone | |
| <anti-net_> its the people with hardly any money/army and lots of oil that should be worried | |
| <binary2k2> sadam didn't have any nukes, didn't stop them then | |
| <anti-net_> all saddam had was a few missiles that could go 1meter longer than the UN allowed | |
| <anti-net_> we should properly refrain from political rants....it'll never end good | |
| <binary2k2> take it to #political-rants :-P | |
| <loudmouthman> right .. i am done. | |
| <loudmouthman> off home again | |
| <loudmouthman> laters people | |
| <anti-net_> Lol, thats not surpsing at all, Vista and Office 07 gold have hit Bittorrent# | |
| <binary2k2> I wouldn't take the time needed to download that crap | |
| <anti-net_> nor would I, but surely that proves that selling software in little boxes DOES'T work | |
| <PriceChild> I'm seeing muse on wednesday and just want to brag a bit more :P | |
| <PriceChild> anto-net: you can download Vista RC2 for free from microsoft.com and will work till june... | |
| <PriceChild> ultimate edition... totally legit | |
| <anti-net_> oh ok | |
| <anti-net_> i'd rather hurt myself than use it tbh | |
| <PriceChild> it would hurt you to use it | |
| <PriceChild> i cannot stand it | |
| <anti-net_> its just eye-candy | |
| <Gargoyle> I thiught using windows was a form of self harm! | |
| <anti-net_> Its actally in the Geneva Convention as a form of tourture | |
| <binary2k2> I don't think I could even get vista to boot on this machine :P | |
| <PriceChild> anti-net... eye-candy? | |
| <PriceChild> i really couldn't see much... | |
| <anti-net_> transpantness with Areo | |
| <PriceChild> slightly translucent window borders... | |
| <PriceChild> a switcher which is REALLY awkward to initiate | |
| <PriceChild> window previews from the panel... | |
| <PriceChild> does the dock thing on the right count as eyecandy? | |
| <PriceChild> that's about it... | |
| <PriceChild> and won't run smoothly on my computer... | |
| <PriceChild> wheras under ubuntu i've got supreme beryl goodnes | |
| <PriceChild> s | |
| <anti-net_> im right in saying that Broadcom wireless NICs don't work to well on on linux? | |
| <PriceChild> anti-net_ they do | |
| <PriceChild> just don't try it in edgy | |
| <PriceChild> dapper's the way to go | |
| <anti-net_> ah ok | |
| <PriceChild> and i think you may have to ndiswrapper... | |
| <PriceChild> not sure | |
| <anti-net_> well i'll try when the laptop shows up :-) | |
| <PriceChild> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | |
| <anti-net_> *bookmarks* | |
| <anti-net_> thank you PriceChild | |
| <anti-net_> you will save me alot of trouble in a couple of weeks | |
| <PriceChild> he he | |
| <PriceChild> ubuntuforums.org is your friend | |
| <PriceChild> as well as wiki.ubuntu.com | |
| <PriceChild> (wiki.ubuntu.com searches all 8 wikis) | |
| <anti-net_> there are 8 wikis? :| | |
| <PriceChild> yes | |
| <PriceChild> wiki, help, community | |
| <PriceChild> to name but 3 | |
| <PriceChild> well i think there is... | |
| <PriceChild> that's what it said on sabdfl's blog | |
| <anti-net_> I see | |
| <apokryphos> I still fail to see how the community/ wiki/ split was a good idea, but hey | |
| <popey> some documents are "official" I guess, some are less so | |
| <anti-net_> guten tag tsmithe | |

| <anti-net_> was it this logo: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-es/attachments/20051202/674d2f6a/3ubuntu8he-0001.jpg | |
| <tsmithe> that was made as a satire to the desktop | |

| <gizmo_the_great1> hi | |
| <binary2k2> hi | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> I just sent a mail round, but now having realised a few things I wish I hadn't | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> but I have got a bit confused | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> how come the listings of the team members has been moved to Launchpad as opposed to the Wiki page that it used to be on? | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> and also, how do you add a picture to the gallery? I've logged in but see now 'upload' button ro anything? | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> anybody there? | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> 28 users connected - none of them at their desks? | |
| <binary2k2> the launchpad list has been there for a while, just wan't used muck | |
| <binary2k2> *much | |
| <binary2k2> go to your member page launchpad.net/people/YOU and click on the Hackergotchi link | |
| <AdamBagnall> To upload a file near the top there's a drop down menu, select the Attachment option | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> i must be massi vely dim. Uploaded the file OK, and it says to use it to state attachement:name of file.jpg. Still can't work out how to add that to the gallery though? | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> with all the rest.. | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> added it to my launchpad OK - https://launchpad.net/people/tedsmith28 | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> but not the Wiki gallery | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Gallery/Members | |
| <binary2k2> you have to edit the wiki yourself | |
| <binary2k2> that's how wiki's work | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> yep - i just seen that\! | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> i am doing it now | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> although it's a bit weird! | |
| <gizmo_the_great1> not like normal html is it | |
| <binary2k2> no, it's a whole other language | |

| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> quite a time consuming task | |
| <popey> but I'm on track for one per day :) | |
| <anti-net_> what is this latest one on? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hey up | |
| <popey> what ho | |
| <popey> anti-net_: I have done two on connecting to IRC one xchat-gnome, one GAIM | |
| <popey> and one on setting up email with evolution | |
| <anti-net_> ah nice | |
| <popey> the post processing is somewhat time consuming | |
| <grifferz> not one for irssi in screen then? :p | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ahh cool since I had been looking for that earlier. | |
| *** tsmithe is now known as encoded | |
| <popey> hmmmm | |
| <popey> actually, that's not a bad idea | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Popey . I had a blinding idea for a screen cast . | |
| <popey> Go ahead caller. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> We need Netiquette and Online NO Nos! | |
| <popey> what like changing irc nickname all the time | |
| * popey glares at encoded | |
| *** encoded is now known as tsmithe | |
| *** LoudMouthMan is now known as whome | |
| *** whome is now known as LoudMouthMan | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yah yah . you know if it wasnt allowed you shouldnt be able to do it <grin> but anyway thats the arguement all new users will have | |
| <LoudMouthMan> oooh officially christmassy now as I just heard the Status Quo track.... yey! | |
| <anti-net_> Its still more than a bloody month away from christmas | |
| *** sonorous- is now known as sonorous | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ping jono | |
| <anti-net_> is there that bad "netiquette" in this channel that we need a screencast about it | |
| <LoudMouthMan> for want of a better way of paging jono on here outside of just dropping a prv chat and i always think thats rude. | |
| * anti-net_ does't like been pmed out of the blue | |
| <anti-net_> but out of the green, red is fine :P | |
| <LoudMouthMan> anti-net I think you will find that as with all things online there are things you can do which are provided for and then there are reasons people hate you doing them. | |
| <anti-net_> hm ok | |
| <tsmithe> you know, talking about netiquette. they just banned me from #ReactOS | |
| <tsmithe> its age discrimination i tell you! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> but as ive blogged about before in my blog ( www.loudmouthman.com ) if you have a rule breaker in channel or on the list then dont use the same forum to correct them. its just as rude if you ask me. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> oh by jono. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> bye rather. | |
| <anti-net_> tsmithe, how old are you? | |
| <tsmithe> 14 | |

| <LoudMouthMan> welcome back ana | |
| <ana> thanks :) | |
| <ana> i need to ask... | |
| <LoudMouthMan> okay ? | |
| <ana> what do i do to "make" ubuntu ask me for my user name and password when i switch the computer on? | |
| <ana> i think i had done that, in "system" "users", but then rebooted and it didn[t ask me | |
| <LoudMouthMan> I believe its under System->Session | |
| <dsas> ana: system->admin->logon window | |
| <ana> and then? | |
| <dsas> then click the "security" tab, and it should have an "automatic sign on" box, uncheck it. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> dsas: or that one . my fault for not turning to my other window here. | |
| <ana> ah | |
| * dsas wrote a patch for the ubuntu docs on that screen :) | |
| <ana> thanks so , so much | |
| <ana> it has been doing my heading for months... | |
| <dsas> ana: no problemo! | |
| <ana> :) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> well for my sins ive spent the day building and installing a bleeding sql/terminal server. | |
| <dsas> sudo apt-get install mysql-server ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> now I am goingto bed but before I go dsas have you seen the post about Approval ? | |
| * dsas hides | |
| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: email or planet? | |

| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: not yet | |
| <popey> you fixed your blog yet LoudMouthMan ? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> popey yeah .. i did that like ... hours ago. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> but theres a wierd wordpress bug when you use to many links in a post it just junks your post! | |
| <popey> spam filter? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yes probably | |
| <popey> tip | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hence i'll be happier to move to my own server | |
| <popey> don't use wordpress? | |
| <dsas> if it's in a comment then the spam thing is configurable in the options.... | |
| <LoudMouthMan> harde har | |
| <dsas> oh, you're using wordpress.com | |
| <LoudMouthMan> i was ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> am , | |
| <popey> well I did recommend the hosting services of grifferz | |
| <LoudMouthMan> look its complilcated.. ive got a new host of my own | |
| <LoudMouthMan> you did and I spoke to him ( I blogged this ) | |
| <popey> ahh | |
| <LoudMouthMan> but I think I may be more commercial than he would wish | |
| <popey> yes, was surprised | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hey look he voiced the concerns. | |
| <popey> didn't think what you'd do would be "bigger" than he could cope with | |
| <popey> oh ok | |
| <dsas> I've just arrived at that blog post on p.lugradio.org ! | |
| <popey> heh | |
| <popey> timing is everything apparently | |
| <LoudMouthMan> popey .. most people think what I do is just .. oh that little one man band <grin> | |
| <popey> and do you plan to clear that up for them? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> clear whatup ? | |
| <dsas> their conceptions about the number of people in your band? | |
| <Daniel-Q> Evening people.. | |
| <dsas> tomorrow 21:30, I shall be here! | |
| <dsas> hi Daniel-Q | |
| <LoudMouthMan> oh . hehe . well the thing is i tried twice and each time I grew or got bigger I just got the shaft. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> either from friends or associates or both. | |
| <Daniel-Q> I'd like to download Edgy using bittorrent, but was unable to find the link .. | |
| <Daniel-Q> has anyone managed to download it using bittorrent? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> currently Im working on building a couple of new datacentres for a client. the problem is finding qualified people to bring to the mix <grin> | |
| <dsas> Daniel-Q: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | |
| <LoudMouthMan> id asked BCN if they could help but they turned it down. | |
| <dsas> Daniel-Q: The ubuntu.com/download page doesn't make that too easy | |
| <Daniel-Q> fantastic dsas, thanks for that .. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> ahhh dsas .. you are the LinksMonger. | |
| <popey> http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | |
| <popey> damnit, too slow | |
| <dsas> too fast for you this time popey | |
| <Daniel-Q> dsas, exactly .. i looked it up on emule and didn't find it either .. | |
| <popey> :) | |
| <popey> next time, next time | |
| <LoudMouthMan> so anyway before popey interrupted about my blog : I want to try and gather a few like popey, dsas and the rest to get the Approval Application posted on to jono! | |
| <dsas> <grin> | |
| <dsas> Daniel-Q: You might want to file a bug on that - https://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-website/+bugs | |
| <popey> <descriptive text> | |
| <PriceChild> there are working torrent links... | |
| <LoudMouthMan> yeah when dsas joined IRC he rolled a +18 on link scavanging for his nickname | |
| <PriceChild> i gave someone a link yday and all was fine | |
| <dsas> PriceChild: They're just not entirely obvious how to find the link in the first place. | |
| <PriceChild> agreed | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hey Jono . welcome back . | |
| <jono> hey | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hmmm lets see. | |
| <popey> moo | |
| <Daniel-Q> good ideia .. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> hey Jono . if your around tommorow 9.30pm our time it would be great if you can join in . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> also Jono . got time for a prv mate .. 2 qs need answering ! | |
| <dsas> hmm, well it looks ok to me. A little short, but then I have no idea what one is supposed to look like. | |
| <dsas> What kind of experience are we supposed to be listing? I'm a member of ubuntu-qa if that helps. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> dsas . yes exactly .. specifics and examplesa are what are listed on other application forms. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> dsas the Belgium one is like a whole A4 page of experience. | |
| <dsas> eek, I'll take a look through the other applications.. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> quite ! | |
| <dsas> Is this supposed to be individual stuff? or things we've done together? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> both | |
| <LoudMouthMan> all | |
| <LoudMouthMan> either | |
| <dsas> heh, ok. | |
| <dsas> is it possible to get someone to find out how many ML subscribers we have? Or are we bottlenecking on Riddell for that? | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Its just every timeI have thrown out the questions about the approval it seemed to get buried about people being concerend over wordings and forums and the rest. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> BottleNecking. | |
| <dsas> LoudMouthMan: It's easier to talk about stuff than do stuff. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> Ive sent out a few emails to Jr and to a few other relevant people ( Team Mentors ! ) but had NOTHING back . | |
| <LoudMouthMan> by Jono ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> coo how wude ! | |
| <LoudMouthMan> If we could get as excited and focussed about the UKTeam as those sports fanatics did for the Olympic bid we would really set the tone for LocoTeam involvement. but thats just where my motivations at. | |
| <LoudMouthMan> and Im not dissing the fanatics . I was genuinely proud we won the bid. I was also pleased because economy wise its a good thing ( apart from VAT that is ) | |
| <LoudMouthMan> anyway . im off to bed .. .got another early morning ahead | |
| <LoudMouthMan> laters |
