<rexbron> bradley: Did you get an answer to your question?

<bradley> rexbron, i think so but i am in the midst of copying files to the drive right now. i will see if it works when it is finished.

<rexbron> ok

<bradley> rexbron, this is the entry that i found: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive, if you know of something simplier please let me know.

<bradley> (i wish i could change it by right clicking.)

<rexbron> does it not work?

<rexbron> and that is pretty straight forward (just lots of copy paste)

<bradley> yeah your right. now i feel like i was being petty. i think i am in some sort of competition with my partner (and her mac) and she just won some points by being able to easily change the name of the drive.

<bradley> but the competition is pretty close... we are racing neck and neck.

<bradley> ubuntu does some amazing things.

<rexbron> bradley: Yes, ubuntu does do some amazing things, (like not sucking over $500 from their users for POINT upgrades)

<bradley> rexbron, i had no idea they did that!

<rexbron> bradley: about $100 for a copy of lepard (free if you buy a new mac =P)

<rexbron> if you bought OSX when it came out and upgraded every time there was a point release, you would have spent close to $500.

<bradley> my partner hasn't upgraded but i remember her saying something about it costing a lot.

<bradley> rexbron, talking about upgrades... do you know where i could find specs for the "perfect" linux machine. i want to get a new computer and this time i will do it with the plan of installing ubuntu.

<rexbron> hmm perfect?

<rexbron> google?

<rexbron> and then modify to your hearts content!

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: Hey, if you have a moment, could you glance at my wiki page and give feedback (I'm having people make me aware of things that need updating/improvement - a few on the list already)

<Burgundavia> link?

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TonyYarusso

<Burgundavia> tonyyarusso: add your uwn stuff there

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: Good

*** Simon80_ is now known as Simon80

<Madpilot> Burgundavia, been flamed to a crisp for your blog post yet?

<Burgundavia> nope

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: doesn't allow comments though

<tonyyarusso> that helps

<Burgundavia> yep

<Burgundavia> I will be blogging a reponse at some point

<Madpilot> SABDFL blogged in response, I see

<Madpilot> tonyyarusso, I could well be wrong, but I don't think Advogato allows comments at all

<tonyyarusso> Madpilot: That's right

<aanderse> hey

<aanderse> so those ubuntu stickers

<aanderse> i sent mail away to bc like a couple months ago now

<aanderse> any update on whats up with them?

<aanderse> k ill be back tommorow

<tonyyarusso> aanderse: Something along the lines of someone **coughBurgundaviacough** has been slacking. ;) Actually, I think he had to get another shipment, and just hasn't gotten around to sending the next batch quite yet.

<aanderse> oh

<aanderse> heh

<aanderse> burg!

<aanderse> k thanks for info

<aanderse> i'll bark at burg later ;-)

<aanderse> bye for now

<Burgundavia> hmm?

<Burgundavia> right, those bleeding stickers

<bradley> rexbron, hi. i am changing the name of the drive now and the wiki seems okay but i don't understand step 5.

<bradley> would you mind taking a look to see if it makes sense to you.

<bradley> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive

<bradley> rexbron, i guessed and it seems to have worked. :-)

<Burgundavia> hey robitaille

<robitaille> Hi Burgundavia

<robitaille> you were mentionned in the latest twit podcast by the way

<robitaille> that story of mark and opensuse keep on going...

<Burgundavia> saw taht

<Burgundavia> cannot say I was impressed by them

<tonyyarusso> Maybe tomorrow's session will help

<Burgundavia> qa was today, no?

<tonyyarusso> Burgundavia: Yes, but suse invite discussion is separate, tomorrow

<Burgundavia> right

<Madpilot> robitaille, 'twit podcast'?

<robitaille> twit.tv.

<robitaille> it's a weekly podcast of tech news

<robitaille> http://www.twit.tv/78

<Madpilot> ah, thanks. Although I'm currently 3 episodes behind in Lugradio listening...

<robitaille> most of my podcast listening occurs at work :)

<tristan_> hmmm, so is there an ubuntu dist with gtk+ 2.10 yet ?

* tristan_ finds the time to update his OS

<tristan_> does this ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso have gtk 2.10 ?

<lophyte> hey jamonation

<lophyte> tristan_: it has whatever ships with gnome 2.16

<tristan_> hmmm, ok thanks lophyte :)

<tristan_> I dont know if 2.10 made 2.16

<tristan_> but I'll find out soon :)

<lophyte> ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.6-0ubuntu The GTK+ graphical user interface library

<lophyte> libgtk 2.10.6

<jamonation> morning

<lophyte> how's it going?

<tristan_> yay !

<tristan_> cool :)

<jamonation> heya lophyte, what do you think about having a trac instance running?

<lophyte> I've never used trac

<jamonation> it's pretty useful

<jamonation> plus integrates with svn if you like, so you can view commits, logs etc. through it

<lophyte> ah

<jamonation> and it is essentially a wiki which I know you'll love

<lophyte> haha

<lophyte> do you think its worth it?

<tonyyarusso> Any new word on Dec 20th?

<jamonation> haven't talked to david about it since last week

<tonyyarusso> Roger that

<lophyte> jamonation: do you think trac is worth installing?

<jamonation> i think that for development, it's a seriously useful tool

<lophyte> go for it, then

<jamonation> just got another offer on a xen server, no price though

<jamonation> thinking perhaps we can do a "we'll upgrade your site, you give us hosting" thing

<jamonation> hosted in toronto, datacenter is here too I think

<lophyte> awesome

<lophyte> oh cool, Jane's gonna be there tonight

<jamonation> cool

<Burgwork> jamonation_: .16 has gtk 2.10

<jamonation_> gnome 2.16 does?

<jamonation_> Burgwork: ?

<Burgwork> yes

<jamonation_> i'm one of the few raging kde users...

<jamonation_> stark raving mad I know

<ejer> I had written gnome off until I installed ubuntu

<jamonation_> i wrote it off after :p

<Burgwork> right

<ejer> I had not us3ed it for a few years

<jamonation_> i like it, don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and clean

<jamonation_> just doesn't "feel" right

<ejer> ya

<ejer> none of the desktops are exactly what I want

<jamonation_> tried e17?

<ejer> a long time ago

<ejer> I just can't put too much customization in since I reinstall so often, and move computers so much

<jamonation_> it has progressed quite a bit, very speedy and looks nice as well

<jamonation_> i have the same issue

<ejer> I will try it again

<jamonation_> I'm gradually moving more to terminal based everything

<ejer> yes I do a lot of thin client stuff

<ejer> but still need that desktop

<jamonation_> always

<jamonation_> http://wyrdodev.googlepages.com/ -- this is gonna make life so easy

<jamonation_> it;s all low level text files etc. organized through things like remind, wyrd etc.

<ejer> I kind of do that already

<ejer> everything is checked into svn

<ejer> and searched with desktop search on the checkouts

<jamonation_> smart

<ejer> it works pretty well for most things, but timesheets are harder

<jamonation_> hmm

<jamonation_> checkout http://code.google.com/p/todo-py/ -- they're working on having a time tracking feature

<jamonation_> based on todo.txt which is a super command like "getting things done" implmentation

<ejer> hmm sounds interesting

<ejer> I use dotproject now

<jamonation_> check that wyrdo page every once in a while, it's going to be live fairly soon

<ejer> that is the other solution, put everything online that is possible

<ejer> will do

<jamonation_> gonna have a .deb of all the needed packages with a screenrc to have all them running in a screen session

<jamonation_> that old 300mhz machine will be a blazing fast organizer :)

<ejer> and it can all go in svn

<jamonation_> exactly

<ejer> ya that will be cool... in fact, maybe check in the progs themselves

<jamonation_> plus you can run it all remotely on another server

<ejer> what I need is a portable svn implementation

<ejer> that I can put on a USB key

<ejer> that is cross platform ;)

<jamonation_> maybe a local branch ?

<jamonation_> it is because you could edit your text files if you didn't have the program(s) installed

<ejer> ya, just will almost always have net access, so I like the idea of always having freshest copy

<jamonation_> plus you can export all of it in csv for easy parsing into a webpage or something

<ejer> I check my password DB in as well...

<jamonation_> send yourself email reminders

<jamonation_> that's smart, encrypted?

<jamonation_> ideally you'd have a 10mb or so loop-aes image you could check in and out

<ejer> I use password gorilla

<ejer> it is blowfish I think

<jamonation_> right, multiplatform too

<ejer> I also use encfs for sensitive client stuff

<ejer> yes it is pretty good

<ejer> even mac client

<jamonation_> truecrypt looks fantastic

<jamonation_> ever heard of it?

<ejer> yes

<ejer> encfs is better on linux

<ejer> but I made a super cool truecrypt container

<jamonation_> ah ok, is encfs windows compatible too?

<ejer> it is a bond film you can still watch, but it has 50MB of data embedded in it

<ejer> no, only linux

<ejer> it iuses FUSE, so unpriviledged users can mount stuff

<jamonation_> ok wicked

<ejer> it is awesome

<jamonation_> so essentially it's a steganographic volume?

<ejer> maintains directory structure and file info

<jamonation_> wow

<ejer> TK-busALuU4CyTTsYZEs0Q3n/

<ejer> X,b95Ul6r4J3E,FK6QgjEsk2CH1pUjEOkmLCuW4vvW,m,0/

<ejer> that is a directory and a file in an encfs volume

<jamonation_> i remember doing that back in the day with steganos suite

<ejer> so you can do diffs and stuff on them without decrypting

<ejer> I can get svn revisions without decrypting

<ejer> and it is FAST

<ejer> and then since you have fuse installed, you can also use sshfs

<ejer> which I use to mount all remote volumes

<ejer> so I am using encfs over sshfs

<jamonation_> is that part of the gnome-vfs thing?

<ejer> jamonation_: no, it is a FUSE component

<ejer> again, user mountable

<ejer> http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html

<jamonation_> got it, in know about fuse, use it for ntfs volumes

<lophyte-> howdy all
