I'd be curious to know how many of us would be sticking with Gnome 3

 I'd be curious to know how many of us would be sticking with Gnome 3
 in the upgrade or keeping it Gnome 2-style with something like MATE.

I have accepted that gnome3 is OK so long as 'classic mode' is
available. I have installed cinnamon and given it a try but prefer the
gnome2 look. Cinnamon has had several updates on my sid box since I
installed it but I haven't looked at it to see what has been changed.

Mate hasn't been packaged for Debian although mate-common is in
experimental so don't think mate is the way to go at the moment unless
you are happy to use non-debian packages for it.

I had a go a few days ago at upgrading one of my laptops to wheezy but
it was going to need tons of packages so gave up on it for now. 

I am going to wait a while before thinking of up-grading my VPS though I
should really do it before geneweb 6.07 migrates into wheezy. I have
tried it out from experimental and don't like some of the changes the
developers have made since 6.05.

A second follow-up message from me:

Due to unforeseen circumstances (a Peregrine falcon in the wrong place), 
there is no coverage from the Vodafone network across campus at the moment.
It's been like this for 3 weeks now, and we've got to wait until the 
bird's young have left before Vodafone can fix the mast.


All other major networks are largely unaffected by this.

Please be aware of this if you rely on other people for transport and 
either they or you are on Vodafone.

Chris

If people are planning to download Wheezy on release date (assuming it's 
out Saturday) on the University connection - please could you let me 
know, and I'll mirror it inside the Uni for us - I don't particularly 
fancy seeing the spike in the graph ;)


On that note, if you need wireless, please mail me your wireless MAC 
address ahead of time to speed things up.


One final note (and it's quite important), we have no Vodafone coverage 
on campus at the moment, due to this blasted peregrine falcon up their 
mast, and therefore they can't fix it... (It broke)

2012-04-30 Thread Hants LUG Chairman
Hi,

This is the confirmation of Saturday's meeting. Note that it's from 10am until 
2pm (only) our host has exams and can't be there all the time and the meeting 
is therefore slightly trimmed.

You will see that a few people have offered talks so it should be a good 
meeting. I'm on a training course this week and I'm off the net so I won't be 
able to reply to any queries quickly so please be patient.

Hi Chris,

Yes, this is a on-going issue and we do need to address this.

I do happen to know that the Ubuntu Developer Sumit does have IRC channels to 
allow users that cannot attend the summit to particpate.

We could have a server hosting a webcam feed, a projector projecting the irc 
channel for two way contact and a feed showing the presentation.

As for you, could Jon send you the talk in video/audio form?

Cheers,

Just a quick thanks to Richard for hosting us at the University last Saturday. 
It was a good meeting with two brief talks.

Our next scheduled meeting at the University will be 05 May. If you can't wait 
that long, the next Surrey LUG meeting is at Nokia on 10 March (confirm with

Please speak up on the list if there is something to want to talk about at a
