<lophyte> hey all

<matjan> hi

<lophyte> how's it going?

<matjan> i'm alright... you?

<matjan> but... i've had a few problems with the recent security updates

<matjan> after the latest one (for openoffice), update manager gives an error saying 'BrokenCount > 0'

<matjan> any ideas about that?

<lophyte> hmm..

<lophyte> maybe try updating manually from the command line? make sure everything gets updated..

<matjan> right

<matjan> will try

<lophyte> hey rexbron

<rexbron> hey lophyte

<rexbron> I really don't like flaky wireless

<rexbron> I am not sure if it is my hardware, their hardware or my software

<rexbron> but stability is an issue

<lophyte> i know what you mean

<lophyte> flaky wireless can get frustrating

<rexbron> also, for some odd reason

<rexbron> somtimes IMAP works and somtimes it does not

<johanbr> Could be related to the flaky wireless, I guess. Or is is also over a wired connection?

<tonyyarusso> Aaa! large font e-mail

<matjan> lophyte, very weird... the problem seems to have solved itself...

<matjan> lophyte, i tried to reinstall, did so, it still gave errors, but now i don't get the brokencount error anymore...

<matjan> very mysterious

<rexbron> lophyte: I have another strange problem

<rexbron> upon resuming from suspend or hibernate, my screen resoultion is incorrect

<rexbron> I have to restart X and relogin to fix it

<lophyte> rexbron: never had that issue..

<rexbron> its strange

<lophyte> bah, i gotta go soon

<lophyte> I'm at linuxcaffe... would rather stay here

* rexbron is hoping the little issues will be fixed in Feisty

<rexbron> lol

<rexbron> I have 2 film proposals to hand in today

<rexbron> at 2:30

<lophyte> hacking on the linuxcaffe support pages

<lophyte> I have a report due today too

<lophyte> and I assume I'll have to do a presentation

<rexbron> fun fun

<lophyte> and working on ubuntu newbie workshop content

<rexbron> ARRGGH

<rexbron> for some damn reason my broswer open ANY file it does not know in emusic

<rexbron> and emusic only opens one file type

<rexbron> and the brower does not even rocognise it, and try and open it with the program that it opens everything else with

<rexbron> sigh

<tonyyarusso> rexbron: Look out - the religious men are coming for you! (ML)

<rexbron> O.o

<rexbron> tonyyarusso: You mean the guy that asked where I am from

<tonyyarusso> rexbron: yeah

<rexbron> tonyyarusso: next thing well all be drinking Ubuntu-aid

<rexbron> and chanting "all prase SABDFL"

<lophyte> don't we already do that? :P

<lophyte> there's a woman here from Germany who's writing a Debian book.. she offered to take a look at our Ubuntu pamphlet when its done

<lophyte> she said she'd try to come to the next meeting

<rexbron> interesting

<rexbron> lophyte: "Anytime you run OSS on a non-free platform, God kills a puppy. A cute puppy."

<rexbron> rolf

<rexbron> rolf?!

<lophyte> rofl

<Burgundavia> hey MagicFab

<MagicFab> hey

<MagicFab> you're back! ;)

<lophyte> hey folks

<somerville32> I just got a super cool sysinfo script :)

<somerville32> Computer: serenity | Distro: Ubuntu 7.04 "feisty" | Processor: 334.87Mhz | Model: Celeron (Mendocino) | Memory: 250MB Free: 76MB [▀▀▀▀ ] | Diskspace: 40.07GB Free: 8.05GB | Video: S3 Inc. Savage 4 @ 1024x768 (24 bpp) | Net: Down: 32.17MB Up: 5.66MB

<tonyyarusso> That's loooong

<lophyte> somerville32: you're the one that wanted case stickers, right?

<lophyte> I think CrazyDoode said he has a bunch

<somerville32> I'd love some

<tonyyarusso> I wish system76 had splurged and done the cool foil ones

<tonyyarusso> ah well, they're free

<lophyte> indeed

<tonyyarusso> well, IF someone mails them they are

<lophyte> lol

<lophyte> I still haven't burned herd 2 to a CD yet

<lophyte> and my laptop doesn't have enough RAM for qemu/vmware

<tonyyarusso> I just dist-upgraded back in November - I haven't tried any of the Herds per se

<lophyte> I avoid dist-upgrades

<lophyte> I've always had problems with them

<lophyte> I just keep /home on a separate partition and do a fresh install for every release

<tonyyarusso> I'll probably fresh install it when it's final, but I wasn't about to wait for Herd 1

<lophyte> hehe

<Burgundavia> tonyyarusso: right, point taken

<Burgundavia> I am currently in calgary

<tonyyarusso> Of course

<lophyte> Burgundavia: any news on my email, or is that waiting until you get back to Victoria?

<Burgundavia> wait until I get back and hav ea good think

<lophyte> okie.

<tonyyarusso> lophyte: which was that?

<tonyyarusso> (if not personal)

<lophyte> personal

<tonyyarusso> k

<tonyyarusso> Been a lot of activity on the ML to keep track of!

<lophyte> yeah

<matjan> somerville32, sinfo.pl?

<somerville32> http://dev.realistanew.com/xchat/sysinfo.py

<matjan> my script gives gives for my pc

<matjan> Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-27-386 | Distro: Debian/GNU testing/unstable | CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ @ 2072 Mhz | Mem usage: 396.8/1011.9 MB (39%) | Swap usage: 181.8/2392.4 MB (8%) | Disk usage(SAMSUNG SP1203N): 58.6/108.6 GB (54%) | Uptime: 3 days 8 hrs 6 mins 41 secs

<matjan> somerville32, is that a plugin for xchat?

<somerville32> yup

<matjan> ok, mine is not

<matjan> i say 'mine' but did not write it btw

<lophyte> oi..

<lophyte> my girlfriend is hell bent on using Windows :(

<tonyyarusso> Time for a new one

<lophyte> "every time I want to install something i have to run to you and i don't want to do that"

<tonyyarusso> Or you could read !software....

<lophyte> in other words

<tonyyarusso> It's really not difficult

<lophyte> you can't download something, double click on it, and it installs

<lophyte> case in point: limewire

<tonyyarusso> Actually, you can at packages.ubuntu.com

<tonyyarusso> Well, not for limewire

<tonyyarusso> Computers are machines not toys! What do you need limewire for?

<lophyte> downloading music i guess

<Simon80> bittorrent

<Simon80> and jebus, I hate people who refuse to use google and figure it out for themselves

<Simon80> .........but I guess if you don't have the motivation to learn

<lophyte> some people just want to use a computer and not know how it works

<Simon80> yeah, but I mean, they want to have their cake and eat it too

<Simon80> knowing how to use your computer != knowing how it works

<lophyte> and with Windows, they usually can :P

<Simon80> yeah, but only cause people focus their attention on supporting windows

<lophyte> they pay for having their cake and eating it too by putting up with stability and security issues

<Simon80> if people did the same thing with Ubuntu, you'd be able to download and install all sorts of horrible deb files

<tonyyarusso> lophyte: No they can't.

<tonyyarusso> They THINK they know how to use Windows.
