User1: User2 pong from last night
User2: use UTC for meeting email?
User2: User1 ?
User1: I usually try to list it locally for each state, but as long as it's clear it shouldn't really matter too muhc
 * head_victim slaps heads of people who continue to use "wastebin" and "trash" in enAU :/
User3: User1 haha, my thoughts exactly. I just did a fresh install of 11.04 and now send files to the "wastebin"
User1: I saw 2 or 3 different versions in the one unity package :/
User1: It's MEANT to be "Rubbish Bin" as defined by our global leader enGB
User1: Natty has wastebin and I'm firing up oneiric to see what that has.
User3: User1 is it something anyone with a launchpad account can change?
User1: User3 pretty much, you have to be a member of the translation team but that's pretty open
User1: In oneiric it's "Trash" :/
User1: I'm starting to think we might need to employ sagaci's idea of downloading the whole pot, grepping for "trash" and "waste" and "bin" and converting them all and uploading.
User1: If only we were close enough I'd go round and we'd knock it over in a day I'd reckon.
User3: User1 sounds like a plan! :)
User2: User1 interactively, not a blanket replace
User1: It's about 600mb download but the issue is the speed off launchpad isn't great.
User1: User2 yes, of course :)
User2: User1 the issue is uploading them back
User2: User1 are you changing over to the new 500gig bundle?
User1: Nope, I don't bundle, I've wangled a cheaper deal than any bundle could get me.
User1: But I"d easily have 10gb spare a month in my current 50gb allowance anyway, more when Lubuntu goes official and I don't have to torrent that anymore.
User3: Anyone know of a script that does all the optimisations from www.lesswatts.org automagicaly?
User1: User3 didn't know it even existed
User3: User1 nor did I until yesterday. I need it because my new netbook Toshiba NB550D just doesn't pack the punch I need.
User1: Lubuntu!
User2: downloading the base pack
User2: 588 mb
User3: User1 Ooo, you reckon just a change to something like Lubuntu would increase battery life a good amount?
User1: User3 not sure, if it's only battery power you're worried about probably not.
User3: User1 I should be clear that's what I meant. "pack a punch" I just realised sounded to much like "graphics power" :P
User1: User2 nice work, after it's done definitely email the launchpad group and say "oi, don't do it again!" I've had to change several back just tonight.
User3: User1 you'd think if a guideline was set out it'd be followed? That's a bit of hassle for the en_AU team
User2: User1 only getting 6mbit download from lp
User1: User3 all our guidelines for translation basically point back to the GB team
User1: User2 yeah that's going to be the issue.
User2: upload will be 1mbit at best for me
User1: If it were 6MB I'd be impressed though (I misread it the first time)
User1: User3 I'm pretty sure I saw something on phoronix showing that basically there was little to no different between Ubuntu flavours as far as power consumption goes.
User3: User1 rightyho. Seems like Windows wins the race as far as power consumption goes at the moment. Though things seem to be getting better each release
User1: User3 that's a bit scary
User1: User2 that's actually the main reason I detest PPAs and non official repositories, they're too slow when you need updates
User2: yeppers
User2: software in ubuntu finals are good enough / stable enough / "bleeding edge" enough for me anyway
User1: Yeah rarely I have to add something to get some odd piece of stuff to work (mobile phone syncing for example)
User2: finished dl
User1: But today's update on my oneiric VM was Fetched 99.4 MB in 32s (3,071 kB/s)
User1: Takes longer to install by far than it does to download these days. Used to be the other way around.
User2: takes longer to unpack/configuring via apt-get than the download itself
User2: i'll be back later
User2: head_victim, pin
User2: g
User1: User2 pon ;)
User2: head_victim, you know how you have unity --replace... what's the equiv for lxde
User1: lxde --replace ?
User1: Hang on, booting a vm to play and see if I can figure it out
User2: well it's more of a on boot the panel isn't showing, just the desktop icons - chromium and file manager
User2: tried running lxpanel but it says it's already running
User1: "lxpanelctl restart"
User2: i'll try that
User2: yep, that worked
User2: but it only happens every few boots
User2: weird
User1: What version?
User1: And any output to logs?
User2: sorry, just shut it down :P
User2: lubuntu 11.04, that 64-bit one
User2: on my netbook
User1: Ah ok, I haven't tried a 64bit one
User2: head_victim, around for a while?
User1: Gotta write a job app so I'd say so
User2: I've got a good command for you to try out
User2: meh, couldn't find it
User2: head_victim, the 588mb base unpacks to 4 gig
User1: What did it do?
User2: sorry, 3.4gig
User1: User2 cool so you've already downloaded it?
User2: yeah, did about an hour ago, just unpacked it then
User2: fyi http://paste.ubuntu.com/621685/
User2: head_victim, looks like it only has a handful of .po's
User1: Hm really?
User2: well there's about 1300 templates in translations, only 697 .po's
User1: Oh, so handful = sarcastic
User2: well I'm just saying it's not equal to the amount on lp
User1: As long as it makes the "trash" become "rubbish bin" I'd be happy. It's annoying how many different ways it's written.
User2: i'm going to try to rename dialog to dialogue and reupload tomorrow to see if it works
User2: even catalog has 400 odd strings to be renamed
User2: it makes sense to do it this way rather than trawling through 95% of usual stuff that doesn't need to be touched
User1: Yeah, you know where the enGB stuff is don't you? It has a reasonable list of common words
User1: Last time I tried I had issues uploading because I must have done something wrong. I translated the whole of FF
User2: head_victim, email sent your way
User1: Replied ;)
User1: Nice work :)
User2: actually, I'm not going to touch that base pack I've downloaded just until I read up on it all a bit more
User1: Fair call. I'm sure there are people in -translations willing to help
User2: like I've still got the original tar.gz pack but I'll mess around and then redo it tomrrow
User2: s/tomrrow/tomorrow
User1: Yeah the upload part was the bit I stuffed up
User2: head_victim, how do you upload it, via dput or something?
User1: I was putting the pots back up
User1: But failed miserably
User2: yeah
User2: I downloaded the "active" base pack, dated 23-04-2011, surely that's not the correct way to do it
User1: Sorry mate, I know nothing on the topic that's why I decided to stick to web based until I'd read up on it a lot more
User2: and it's weird that you have to download the whole pack which has all translations, rather than just the subset -AU
User2: might be a tad harder than expected
User1: User2 as soon as Lubuntu goes official we should both lodge applications to get it mirrored on aarnet :P
User2: yeah, around alpha 3, you reckon?
User1: Not sure TBH, awaiting cdimage space apparently, that was in testing at the time of UDS
User2: anyway, off to sleep
User2: i'll talk to you later
