[04:40] <Longinius> Howdy, folks....  Anyone home?
[04:46] <Longinius> Is this the place to ask how to open an archive (.tgz) file?
[04:51] <jrib> Longinius: just double-click on it
[04:52] <jrib> Longinius: you'll get faster answers in #ubuntu normally since there are fewer people who keep an eye on this room
[05:09] <nalioth> come on, jrib you LIVE here   :D


[03:46] <kaushal> hi
[03:46] <kaushal> Please guide me about http://askubuntu.com/questions/18988/openvpn-on-ubuntu-10-10 ?

[06:01] <kaushal> hi
[06:01] <kaushal> can someone please suggest me about http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548150/ ?
[06:11] <thisara> hi anyone here today
[06:12] <thisara> need some advice to install fonts
[06:16] <blahdeblah> thisara: What are the fonts for?
[06:17] <thisara> blahdeblah: Hi
[06:17] <thisara> blahdeblah: I need to install some fonts downloaded from internet into Ubuntu
[06:17] <thisara> blahdeblah: dont know how to do
[06:17] <blahdeblah> What are the fonts going to be used for?
[06:18] <blahdeblah> And did you search in the software center for them first?
[06:18] <thisara> blahdeblah: what software
[06:19] <blahdeblah> Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center
[06:19] <blahdeblah> or Centre, even
[06:19] <blahdeblah> Looks like they've localised the name now...
[06:20] <thisara> blahdeblah:I am new to linux so dont know those things
[06:20] <blahdeblah> There are a lot of fonts provided as add-on packages for the system.  You can find them in software centre by searching for "ttf-" (minus the quotes)
[06:21] <thisara> blahdeblah: Oh got it. yes its there. But I want different fonts. those are not there
[06:22] <thisara> blahdeblah: say for an example if I download a font called aaa.ttf
[06:22] <thisara> blahdeblah: how to install it
[06:23] <blahdeblah> There should be a directory inside your home directory called ".fonts" - if not, create it.
[06:23] <blahdeblah> Then drop the font file in there.
[06:23] <thisara> blahdeblah: wait I will check
[06:24] <blahdeblah> I haven't installed fonts for a long time - you may have to log out and log back in to activate the .fonts directory if it doesn't exist.
[06:25] <thisara> blahdeblah: I already created a font directory in my home floder. also copied new fonts there. fonts are there. but I cant use them in the word or web browser
[06:25] <blahdeblah> Is it called ".fonts" (lower case, dot in front)?  It must have that exact name.
[06:26] <thisara> yes folder name is .fonts
[06:27] <blahdeblah> thisara: Do you know how to use the command line?
[06:28] <thisara> yes
[06:28] <thisara> blahdeblah: yes
[06:28] <blahdeblah> run ls -la ~/.fonts and paste the output into http://ubuntu-au.pastebin.com/
[06:30] <thisara> blahdeblah: ok did
[06:35] <thisara> blahdeblah: did u get it
[06:35] <blahdeblah> It seemed to confuse my browser - just restarting it
[06:37] <thisara> blahdeblah: yes
[06:37] <thisara> blahdeblah: what exactly I did
[06:37] <thisara> blahdeblah: now it works
[06:37] <thisara> blahdeblah: thanks for your help
[06:37] <blahdeblah> No worries - good to hear it's working
[06:37] <thisara> blahdeblah: its so easy than I thought
[06:37] <thisara> blahdeblah: wish u a happy holidays
[06:38] <blahdeblah> I think you will find all those .fon files don't work
[06:38] <blahdeblah> I'm not sure whether Linux supports them.
[06:38] <thisara> blahdeblah: ok
[06:38] <blahdeblah> But you might as well try...
[08:25] <head_victim> blahdeblah: given much thought to an installfest in February?
[08:26] <head_victim> blahdeblah: if it helps you pick dates I would be available the weekends 05/06 and 12/13 and those are close enough to LCA we can promote it at the open day stand.
[12:35] <blahdeblah> head_victim: I haven't had the brain space to devote to it yet, i'm afraid.  Your idea sounds good, though.
[12:36] <head_victim> blahdeblah: ah ok, my "spare" time is currently with the open day itself so it's a bit hectic.
[12:36] <head_victim> blahdeblah: I would be willing to help someone out but I don't think I'd do justice to trying to run them both myself.
[12:37] <blahdeblah> Give me until the end of next week - i've got some holidays and i hope to get a little planning done then
[12:37] <head_victim> blahdeblah: no worries, I was just thinking if you were interested in the idea still I was going to get some quotes on some flyers to hand out at the open day.
[12:38] <blahdeblah> Sounds good
[12:38] <head_victim> I'll be calling printers this week to see how much it costs to get some business cards printed.
[12:39] <head_victim> I figure something A5 should do it ok.
[12:39] <blahdeblah> yeah - A5 should be plenty
[12:39] <gorilla> a5 for business cards??
[12:39] <blahdeblah> But we really need a solid venue that's ready to go before we can get flyers
[12:40] <blahdeblah> gorilla: No, for the flyers he's going to ask about at the same time... ;-)
[12:40] <gorilla> blahdeblah: ahhh right.
[12:40] <head_victim> Nah was going to get HEAPS of the business cards elky made up and some flyers.
[12:41] <blahdeblah> head_victim: Is that the one you sent me?
[12:41] <head_victim> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Artwork?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=UbuntuAUCard2.png
[12:42] <blahdeblah> Do you have the originals of that in a higher resolution?
[12:42] <head_victim> elky also made that into a poster size.
[12:42] <head_victim> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Projects/Artwork
[12:43] <blahdeblah> Those images seriously screw up the wiki layout, eh?
[12:44] <blahdeblah> I really think we need to rethink the whole web site deal if we're gonna get a lot of those printed up.  It's just not inviting enough as it stands, and i wonder whether we really need it at all.
[12:45] <head_victim> I think nisshh was hoping to talk to you about upgrading to the new theme for drupal
[12:47] <blahdeblah> nisshh needs to talk to bradm about that, not me.  The theme can be selected easily, but getting it installed is not within my powers.
[12:52] <head_victim> blahdeblah: ah ok, neither of us knew much about it
[12:54] <head_victim> bradm: so when you have a chance, firstly how hard is it to update the ubuntu.org.au site to the new drupal theme and secondly what sort of timeframe would it take? nisshh is able to help and blahdeblah and Phlosten are current website admin.
[12:55] <head_victim> blahdeblah: is it worth putting up a little spiel and a link to the monthly report whenever it's completed? (once a month)
[12:55] <head_victim> And how about things like the creation of the artwork page?
[12:56] <head_victim> I will shoot you an email with some words to put up about LCA open day because I'm sure that should have something written on it.
[12:56] <blahdeblah> Well, i personally think if you link to things just for the sake of it, people will realise that there is very little substance to it.
[12:56] <blahdeblah> I think we need to get installfests and the like happening first - if there's something substantial happening, then the buzz will increase automatically.
[12:57] <head_victim> Yeah, I was just thinking as more for those that come across it and don't use the mailing list, not that that's a hive of activity lately itself
[13:05] <nisshh> ah, thanks for that head_victim :)
[13:05] <nisshh> blahdeblah, there is other website stuff besides the look i wanted to talk to you about as well
[13:05] <blahdeblah> well, it might have to wait - i'm about to turn into a pumpkin
[13:06] <nisshh> blahdeblah, yeah, whenever, just before the next meeting would be nice :)
[13:06] <blahdeblah> Drop me an email, or leave the comments here tagged with my nick and i'll see what i can do tomorrow.
[13:06] <nisshh> ok
[13:06] <nisshh> thanks blahdeblah
[13:18] <sagaci> nisshh: ping
[13:30] <nisshh> sagaci, hmm?
[13:30] <sagaci> nisshh: did they fix that youtube-dl program
[13:31] <nisshh> sagaci, not as far as i know, i havent heard anything
[13:31] <nisshh> let me have a bit of a dig
[13:32] <nisshh> there appears to be a fixed version in the webupd8 PPA
[13:32] <nisshh> sagaci, ^^^
[13:33] <sagaci> kk
[13:33] <nisshh> lets see the last upload
[13:33] <nisshh> give me one minute
[13:33] <nisshh> sagaci, you do know that youtube-dl is just a python script? not a GUI application, right?
[13:34] <sagaci> nisshh: yep
[13:34] <nisshh> ok, cool
[13:34] <sagaci> wasn't sure if it'd be updated, due to the bug, and essentially killing the program
[13:34] <nisshh> sagaci, youtube-dl was last updated in the web upd8 PPA on the 10th of this month, it should work ok
[13:35] <nisshh> sagaci, but just a warning, the web upd8 PPA will update a lot of your applications to newer version
[13:35] <nisshh> versions
[13:35] <sagaci> yeah
[13:35] <nisshh> so be careful
[13:35] <sagaci> ahhh, forgot how much i love music
[13:35] <nisshh> hehe
[13:36] <nisshh> sagaci, you right to add the PPA to yuor system
[13:36] <nisshh> your system?
[13:36] <sagaci> yeah
[13:36] <nisshh> cool
[13:36] <sagaci> i doubt i'll do it
[13:36] <sagaci> not now anyway
[13:36] <nisshh> ok
[13:37] <sagaci> damn coffee
[13:38] <nisshh> heh
