<PiNE> does anyone know what this warning means: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Resource busy or not available.

<PiNE> i don't have audio for anything other than rhythmbox and when i went to test my audio it gave me that warning.

<Jisao> Are there any un-logged ubuntu IRC channels?

<tonyyarusso> some

<Madpilot> the logging bots seem to malfunction regularly, resulting in unlogged channels that we thought were logged...

<Jisao> I just don't want my questions in Web Eternity for the Posterity

<Madpilot> I wouldn't worry about it. Except for logs of actual formal meetings via IRC, I frankly doubt anyone ever reads the logs...

<Jisao> I am getting confused, lol. Some people here are in many channels.

<Madpilot> most of us are

<tonyyarusso> I really need to fix my keybindings so I can join the rest

<Jisao> I was considering giving a try at debugging my video. There are instructions on debugging in help.ubuntu.com

<Jisao> I've never debugged anything so far

<Madpilot> Jisao, what's the issue w/ your video? Do you mean video card, or movie file playback?

<Jisao> Video chip, or something along that line.

<Madpilot> laptop?

<Jisao> My video display crashed regularly with Ubuntu (6.06, 6.10, Feisty Fawn, and Kubuntu), with Kanotix, and Vista. Not laptop

<Jisao> Doesn't crash with Debian testing nor XP. And shows quirks with Mepis (I lose the mouse pointer).

<Madpilot> fun. what card/chip?

<Madpilot> evening, MagicFab

<Jisao> It's a Gigabyte all in one mobo GA-K8N51PVMT-9, with a NVidia Gefore 6150 chip.

<tonyyarusso> MagicFab: I can't remember if you're one of the ppl I've already asked, so: I'm in the market for LPI studybook, sysadmin manuals, etc - any recommendations?

<Jisao> With a Samsung SyncMaster 763MB monitor.

<MagicFab> tonyyarusso, not familiar withthe material

<MagicFab> everyone seems to start with the free IBM guides that you cna find with google

<tonyyarusso> MagicFab: Really? I thought you had to be for employment :S

<tonyyarusso> oooh, free is good

<Madpilot> Jisao, odd, Nvidia have a better rep than ATI for working w/ Linux. Wonder if it isn't screwed up hardware, if it's that consistently screwed up in all sorts of OSes?

<MagicFab> Certified, yes. Know all the commercial material to be, no :)

<tonyyarusso> ah

<MagicFab> It seems theres is a lot happening in France and Venezuela (unrelated)

<tonyyarusso> do tell

<MagicFab> All of the Assemblée Nationale is migrating to Ubuntu (1300 desktops)

<tonyyarusso> wow

<MagicFab> and in Venezuela, several ministries (Kubuntu), several thousand desktops

<tonyyarusso> At risk of sounding ignorant, that's like their Parliament, ya?

<MagicFab> yes

<MagicFab> most interestingly, France is supposed to be Mandriva's turf

<MagicFab> and check this out! http://www.ubuntu-pro.net/

<MagicFab> that site is not official, although it sure looks official

<tonyyarusso> MagicFab: Is the list of large Ubuntu deployments (or parts of it) public? I'd like to know names to tell people.

<MagicFab> tonyyarusso, kinda. it's in th news

<MagicFab> http://www.latribune.fr/info/L-Assemblee-nationale-choisit-le-logiciel-libre-~-ID51B2E5C49A8FCE51C1257299003C40B2-$Db=Tribune/Articles.nsf

<MagicFab> I guess it will be in the english news somewhere in a few days

<tonyyarusso> MagicFab: ok

<MagicFab> In venezuela, you can also look it up. Cuba + Venezuela are deploying massive FLOSS efforts

<MagicFab> I personally think Venezuela will fund several friend countries to migrate to free software... "tech sovereignty" is their new pet peeve

<MagicFab> amyways, crazy stuff!

<tonyyarusso> MagicFab: The "tech sovereignty" thing may be a marketing point towards Aboriginal Canadian groups too

<MagicFab> or Quebecers :)

<MagicFab> ahahahaha - too easy

<Madpilot> it'd be entertaining to see the BQ/PQ adopt FLOSS... but it might slow down FLOSS adoption in the ROC...

* tonyyarusso is actually planning to mention that when issuing a call for translation volunteers

<tonyyarusso> MagicFab: I doubt ROC would notice/care, really

<MagicFab> ROC ?

<tonyyarusso> rest of canada (ie, not Quebec)

<tonyyarusso> my tab-complete was supposed to be Madpilot

<tonyyarusso> (holding cell phone with one hand, typing with the other)

<MagicFab> oh :)

<MagicFab> It's sad none of the political parties in our coming elections have *anything* at all in terms of tech strategy/vision, much less open anything.

<MagicFab> except for their website's CMSs.

<tonyyarusso> that is lame

<tonyyarusso> Call Jack ;)

<Jisao> translation volunteers for what?

<tonyyarusso> Jisao: Ubuntu in native languages - various things are just barely starting to move in that direction.

<Jisao> I see.

<Jisao> native like inuttitut, or native like i18n?

<tonyyarusso> Well, both really.

<tonyyarusso> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Projects

<Jisao> Is the french ubuntu-fr hosted in France or in Canada for the CanadianTeam/Projects

<tonyyarusso> -qc is in canada, -fr is france

<MagicFab> that is so outdated it should be removed

<MagicFab> a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, someone had the crazy intention to trnslate all -ca thing in french

<Jisao> Your link to french in CanadianTeam/Projects leads to a -fr site.

<Jisao> you got a -qc link?

<Jisao> And what happened to the crazy intention?

<Jisao> If the English wiki gets edited, does it print the Web address of the person modifying the page too?

*** rexbron_ is now known as rexbron

<Madpilot> well, that sucketh mightily. My .ca registrar wants to charge me the same for a .com as for a .ca :|

<Madpilot> Someone recommend a .ca registrar that doesn't try and gouge for .com registry?

<Madpilot> robitaille, nice blog post about DST - I was wondering if the timezone config had caught up yet

<robitaille> yeah...I kept thinking of writing it up, then realized last night I had to write it now :)

<robitaille> At work some unix servers only got their proper patches this week....

<Madpilot> that could have been... interesting...

<robitaille> I wonder if my DVD recorder in my living room will be able to deal with the new DST correctly

<Madpilot> no idea. I just realized there's an XP box at work that I have to make sure is updated tomorrow; it's not used for much and none of us ever run the Update thing on it...

<dimeotane> is this like the y2k problem all over again.. this time for real?

<dimeotane> airplanes gonna fall outta the sky?

<el56> no, but they'll be an hour late :-)

<Jisao> better than having half the fuel!

<SpacePuppy> no.. airplanes could fall out of the sky.. GPS would suddenly change time and you would suddenly be in "the wrong place"...

<el56> how does a change in time change your position relative to GPS satellites?

<el56> there's a difference between "where you are" and "where you're supposed to be".

<Jisao> Pretty inconvenient if a planes is at a place where it should have been an hour later, and a second plane is there right on time!

<el56> that's what air traffic control is for. Planes are late all the time (drunk passengers, de-icing, mechanical delays, etc.) and have to share airspace with on-time flights.

<lophyte> hey all
