| TheSheep | testingxub: system->network, except it doesn't do the proxy | 02:02 |
| testingxub | TheSheep: i didn't like it, im replacing it with wifi-radar right now, but im wondering if there is such a tool to do more things | 02:04 |
| TheSheep | testingxub: yes, text editor and the /etc directory | 02:07 |
| TheSheep | testingxub: you can also install any application form kde or gnome | 02:07 |
| testingxub | TheSheep: ok... but with a script i can modify a lot of system-wide things, but if a i want to modify i.e. firefox network settings, i need to add that | 02:09 |
| testingxub | TheSheep: and tomorrow i could install another app, that doesn't read global proxy settings, and i need to add that on the script and so on... | 02:10 |

| Akuma_ | Jester45: i mean, where should the shortcut point to - what app | 04:32 |
| Jester45 | humm | 04:32 |
| Jester45 | i think its amixer | 04:32 |
| Akuma_ | vidd: yet they don't, so i was wondering if under xfce i had to activate something else | 04:33 |
| vidd | your keyboard/laptop does not have special buttons to control volume? | 04:34 |
| Akuma_ | vidd: it does. Fn+F5/F6 .. they worked in ubuntu | 04:34 |
| vidd | then they should work in xubuntu...as long as the volume controler is open | 04:35 |
| Pumpernickel | It's fairly easy to rebind them, if they're not working. | 04:35 |

| A_b | I am curious as to loading xubuntu on a p2 400 mhz with 128 ram, should go?? | 06:59 |
| maxamillion | A_b: yes, i have run it on lesser hardware ... that should be fine (though a little more ram wouldn't hurt) | 06:59 |
| A_b | It is my childrens computer :) and I want to get out of win98 | 06:59 |
| maxamillion | A_b: good idea :) ... yes, Xubuntu should run fine on that machine but i would recommend using the "alternate" installer | 07:00 |
| A_b | alternate? I will check web site | 07:00 |
| A_b | it is old - bought new in 98 and it is difficult to find memory :/ | 07:01 |
| maxamillion | A_b: yeah, it will be fine ... you will just show a little performance hit when running heavier applications like firefox (though, the only thing that generally is slow is the initial load time of the application) | 07:02 |

| tonyyarusso | Chikubu: dmsg | 07:05 |
| A_b | maxamillion, thanks I will go to the web site and check out - i read a review that stated xubuntu would be great for older comps | 07:05 |
| maxamillion | A_b: well, yes ... i personally think Xubuntu is great for all computers, but it does seem to do wonders for older machines that would otherwise collect dust | 07:06 |
| A_b | I have converted a p3 thinkpad 256 to opensuse and my roomies comp with the same but want to explore the xubuntu and also my roomie has a comp coming that I plan to install kubuntu :) | 07:07 |
| maxamillion | A_b: xubuntu will run circles around both opensuse and kubuntu in performance, but ultimately it is going to be about what you prefer to use | 07:09 |
| A_b | i noticed on the web site it mentions an upgrade available to kde rather than xfce. Is that a big memory drain? | 07:10 |
| maxamillion | A_b: kde uses almost 3 times as much memory as Xubuntu does (if i remember correctly) | 07:11 |
| maxamillion | A_b: wait ... i think it might only be 2 times as much ... but still | 07:11 |
| A_b | i am itching to try out so i will download and burn this eve. thanks maxamillion :) | 07:12 |
| maxamillion | A_b: anytime :) | 07:12 |
| A_b | I found on the opensuse 10.2 with kde has a little more demand than gnome and xfce is relatively light | 07:13 |
| A_b | memory wise that is | 07:14 |
| maxamillion | A_b: yes, but i wouldn't call gnome "light" .... xfce yes, fluxbox yes, but not gnome ... its kinda "mediocre" so to speak | 07:14 |
| A_b | yes gnome as i tuned it was able to put a lesser demand on ram than kde however xfce was smooth with 256 ram | 07:17 |
| maxamillion | ah, yes ... you can configure gnome to be rather decent on resources | 07:18 |
| A_b | the old p2 has a 3.2 gig hd will that be a problem? | 07:20 |
| A_b | children just use comp to explore game cheats :P | 07:21 |
| maxamillion | A_b: not at all, just might want to uninstall unused applications once you get it installed | 07:21 |
| maxamillion | A_b: i am using 2.9gb of my 160gb hdd on this machine and i have alot of extra stuff installed | 07:22 |
| A_b | cool | 07:22 |
| maxamillion | :) | 07:22 |
| A_b | i will have to set a low swap file with grub or does xubuntu use grub? | 07:23 |
| maxamillion | A_b: yes, xubuntu uses grub and the swap file will be created during installation | 07:24 |
| maxamillion | A_b: if you chose to manually partition then you can set the size yourself | 07:25 |
| A_b | so grub will auto establish size dependent on size of hd as it did on the installs I did on these machines? | 07:25 |
| maxamillion | A_b: yes, but its not grub that does that | 07:25 |
| A_b | I meant it established sizes of partitions auto when I installed on these comps and I just agreed sort of thing :/ | 07:27 |
| maxamillion | A_b: oh, yeah | 07:27 |
| maxamillion | A_b: Xubuntu will do the same | 07:27 |
| A_b | but because of small hd 3.2 gigs, the swap file size (I don't think I've ever used so far) will determine actual space available for use. so i guess the swap file will have to be in the mbs rather than gigs :) | 07:30 |
| maxamillion | A_b: well generally with an older machine like that, the automatic swap space will just be twice the size of the ram, so the auto installer should make the swap space 256mb | 07:32 |
| A_b | ok thanks - just needed a referance to relate to when the numbers come up thanks I am going to begin dl and burn :) | 07:33 |
| maxamillion | A_b: awesome! enjoy! | 07:33 |
| maxamillion | A_b: one thing i will warn about though (xfburn, the default xubuntu cd burner, has a bug that won't let it burn .iso images correctly) ... just something to keep in mind :) | 07:36 |
| A_b | merci mon ami or as I say in my language musi cho :) | 07:36 |
| maxamillion | A_b: yeah ... but if that machine is that old, i wouldn't imagine it would have a cd-rw drive anyways | 07:36 |
| A_b | ok will do the check with the thing in yast (reads media and checks burn or something) | 07:36 |
| A_b | no it doesn | 07:36 |
| A_b | t | 07:36 |
| A_b | also it might need a floppy boot | 07:37 |
| maxamillion | A_b: well if you burn with another program or from another computer, it will be fine ... for an older machine like that i recommend a command line tool like wodim | 07:37 |
| A_b | i tried a live cd with a first boot in bios and it seemed to just ignore and I always had to use a floppy to load win 98 from cd | 07:38 |
| maxamillion | A_b: ok, just a moment ... let me get you a tutorial on how to do that | 07:38 |
| A_b | sweet because I wanted to load linux on that machine years ago and wasn | 07:40 |
| A_b | t able to figure out a floppy boot | 07:40 |
| maxamillion | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 07:40 |

| mitrick | u changed network settings where? | 08:17 |
| mitrick | for wireless? or eth0 | 08:18 |
| benpicco | in /etc/enviroment (well i changed the proxy settings) | 08:18 |
| mitrick | it should work right away | 08:18 |
| benpicco | and something in /etc/apt/apt.conf | 08:18 |

| maxamillion | AlexC: i have been told yes, but i don't advise it because it will only upgrade the packages included on the alternate cd, not the entire system (extra apps installed via the repos, etc.) | 08:26 |

| maxamillion | benpicco: ping has nothing to do with http | 08:28 |
| maxamillion | benpicco: ping is icmp traffic, not http ... you might want to look into something else notworking wise, like a gateway configuration | 08:29 |
| benpicco | maxamillion: but its a http proxy, it only offeres this protocol | 08:29 |
| maxamillion | benpicco: right, but not all traffic is http ... if your proxy doesn't allow other traffic, then other traffic won't go anywhere (in theory) | 08:30 |

| maxamillion | AlexC: not in my experiences | 08:34 |
| benpicco | there seems to be something wrong with Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.250:3128"; , too - it always tries to connect to 3128:80.. | 08:34 |
| maxamillion | benpicco: well then check your gateway settings on the machine, in my experience a "destination not reachable" means that your computer can't get a direct route to the path ... which i would assume to be your gateway settings | 08:35 |
| benpicco | maxamillion: well.. there is no gateway | 08:35 |
| maxamillion | benpicco: yes, there is | 08:36 |
| grazie | AlexC: I have a slightly different view on backing up. If you can afford to lose the data don't then bother, if you CAN'T afford to lose the data.... | 08:36 |

When it does have monitor connected It runs at 1280*1024 max resolution but headless I cant get it to output any higher than 640*480 and the highest res option is 800x600 which if changed to seems to make no difference to the size of vnc window its displayed in, anyone know whats up? | 04:26 |
| TheSheep | thrashy: can't you set the screen size in th vnc options? | 04:27 |
| thrashy | only vnc options are "view half size" "full screen" etc, but xubuntu is actualy outputting 640*480 anyway so even if there was an option to make it bigger in vnc it'd come out all upscaled and pixelated | 04:30 |
| Pumpernickel | It would be a server option, not a client option, which is set in at least some implementations using the -geometry parameter. | 04:35 |

| kalikiana | TheSheep, No, I can't. Thunar's interface is pre-alpha. And virtual folders aren't even theoretically done. | 06:52 |
| leobloom | perl? what's perl? | 06:53 |
| TheSheep | !perl | leobloom | 06:53 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about perl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 06:53 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: programing language | 06:53 |
| do1 | is sam-linux actually worth trying? | 06:53 |
| leobloom | ah that perl lol :D | 06:54 |
| TheSheep | arg, why is gqview used by so many dsitros? it's soooo broken :( | 06:54 |
| leobloom | but I can't program not even my videorecorder :p | 06:54 |
| leobloom | do1 I have samlinux but havent had the time to test it tom y needs,I've read it has 3d fx working out of the box but since I have no 3d card I cant test that | 06:55 |
| do1 | and its based on pclinuxos, wright? | 06:55 |
| leobloom | yep | 06:56 |
| leobloom | wichi is basedo n mandriva | 06:56 |
| leobloom | but pclinuxos is not very nice... no real idea behind it, it seems to be a flavour... but it really work perfect for newbies who don't want to get their hands dirty with linux... | 06:57 |
| TheSheep | it seems to me that most distros are recently for non-linux users :/ | 06:57 |
| leobloom | it's the only way to attract people from other os.... win is full of troubles but almost ebd can use it, mac os x is dumbproof (but I have problems myself in making thinks work in "a different way", Ica't explore it) | 06:58 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: "almost ebd can use it"? | 07:00 |
| leobloom | everybody | 07:00 |
| leobloom | sorry, I always shorten these words :D | 07:00 |
| TheSheep | I found it much easier to teach my parents to use xfce than windows | 07:00 |
| leobloom | thesheep I believe it but many just know how to use windows, (even though they think they can use a computer... they simply know an OS) | 07:01 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: not even that -- customize it a little and they are lost :) | 07:02 |
| leobloom | eheh :D I installed vista inspiratpack on a friend's notebook and it took her a week to get that I haden't installed her the whole vista os but only a theme :D | 07:04 |
| TheSheep | "what you see is what you get" | 07:04 |
| TheSheep | I actually don't like customizable things | 07:05 |
| TheSheep | especially when they can be customized to be unusable | 07:06 |
| leobloom | for ex? | 07:06 |
| TheSheep | if there is no customization, no user preferences, then the developers are forced to make good decissions | 07:06 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: the trivial example is white text on white background | 07:07 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: but when customizing Windows, it's actually hard to get settings that are usable | 07:07 |
| leobloom | uhm but I?m just an idiot user so I never think "it must be hard to put some custamization options here", I say "wtf my firend can do that on his wondows and I cant! I want it itoo!" | 07:07 |
| leobloom | well o far i havent found so muc to be customized, themes, screensavers, icons, sounds and some menus plus a bit of the dektop bars, what else? | 07:08 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: it's hard to not add user preferences -- you have to take responsibility and make a decission, it's much harder than just say "ok, so we will just add it as an option" | 07:08 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: even changing the resolution breaks things on Windows | 07:09 |
| leobloom | well I'm sure 70% of win users are not able to change screen resolution :D | 07:09 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: or they tried once and said "no, I can't see the icons" and changed it back | 07:10 |
| leobloom | sometimes the big problem comes with windows power users, someone who can already do a lot or many things on win and tries t odo the same on linux without trying to get that it works differently | 07:10 |
| TheSheep | leobloom: kde works fine for them | 07:11 |
| leobloom | well not many can use kde lol :D i have an old pc (pIII 700mhz 256 mb ram) and I have to share it with my brother, I m trying to optimize it to run smooth even though we have many things on (2 hd, 4 partitions, thousands of files) but it's always hard to let him get things right even on windows... when he's alone he doesnt even open linux! | 07:14 |
| Jester45 | just remove windows so he has to use linux :0 | 07:16 |
| leobloom | I cant =o/ he broke the ehternet card, it doesnt work anymore and I haven't found a waytoi make my modem work well via usb on linux | 07:17 |
| leobloom | till last december I had done that coz i had no copy of widnows at handy so he had to use linux all day fr a month and it was fine, he even learnt how to install/unistall stuff from shell and how to use k3b himself :D | 07:18 |
| tonyyarusso | leobloom: What about a modem? | 07:19 |
| leobloom | I have a modem, the dsl provider gave me one, it a usb/ehternet one | 07:19 |
| tonyyarusso | Aah, eww. | 07:20 |
| tonyyarusso | Nothing on the wiki or forums? | 07:20 |
| leobloom | in ubuntu chan they told me to check via shell with the command lusb or sth like that but problem is that this modem simply doesnt work under linux | 07:20 |
| tonyyarusso | Would it work if you got a new ethernet card? | 07:20 |
| leobloom | nothing on the wiki nope =o/ at least, nothing that sems to be perfect, they all sound like too specific things, I need t know which driver it has so I'll look for a wiki to install that driver | 07:21 |
| leobloom | it would work 100% perfect with another ethernet card =O) | 07:21 |
| leobloom | problem is that i dont want to waste any other money on this pc, I've alread yspent too much :D | 07:25 |

| Merchelo | hmm, ok, how do i create a new partition from the free space i have in hda1 which is my main boot partition :/ | 07:41 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: from the desktop cd ;) | 07:42 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: or gparted cd | 07:43 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: or maybe from DSL from your usb stick | 07:43 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: or from dual-booting into windows | 07:43 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: or .... ;) | 07:43 |
| Merchelo | heh, i think i'll go with the gparted live cd | 07:44 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: you have that one? | 07:44 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: from the alternate cd you can also issue shell commands... | 07:44 |
| Merchelo | well d/l'ing the iso, and gonna burn me a copy, just need to create a partition for windows xp pro | 07:45 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: why that? | 07:45 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: vmware / vbox don't require a real windows partition ;) | 07:46 |
| leobloom | :D | 07:46 |
| leobloom | but a dual boot is safer for a newbie ;) | 07:46 |
| Merchelo | yeah, but i need to install it, so i can work out of hours, and earn the $$$$$ | 07:46 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: what can't you do in Xubuntu? | 07:46 |
| Merchelo | run lotus notes, tivoli work center, citrix manager | 07:47 |
| Merchelo | just a whole lot easier this way | 07:47 |
| hyper_ch | notes runs fine from vmware | 07:48 |
| hyper_ch | even runs even through wine | 07:48 |
| hyper_ch | tivoli... no clue what that is... | 07:48 |
| Merchelo | ticket management system we use in IBM | 07:48 |
| hyper_ch | and citrix manager... didn't get it to work in vmware because I have a wifi and use nat and not bridge networking... I guess that was the issue there | 07:48 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: you're an ibm guy? | 07:49 |
| Merchelo | yeah, 2nd level support for probably the best company in the world | 07:49 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: you get good discounts on ibm notebooks? | 07:49 |
| leobloom | isnt it called lenovo now? | 07:49 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: I don't care what it's called as long as he can get mee good discounts ;) | 07:50 |
| leobloom | :p | 07:50 |
| Merchelo | heh, lenovo just make the pc's in china, and sell them | 07:51 |
| hyper_ch | an average notebook nowadays costs $100.- (OLPC) so I guess I can get a IBM high-end notebook for $250? | 07:51 |
| leobloom | yep but i htoiught the whole IBM company was called lenovo | 07:51 |
| leobloom | 250 what? dollars? a notebooks?! where are you living?=o) | 07:52 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: hi...where are you seeing these prices? | 07:52 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: you konw OLPC? | 07:52 |
| Jester45 | $100? they are more like 300-500 here | 07:52 |
| leobloom | hyper_ch nope unfortunately noty | 07:52 |
| hyper_ch | hiho Jester45 | 07:52 |
| Jester45 | hi | 07:52 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: it's an initiative: One Laptop Per Child... they are priced at $100.-, have linux on them and are built pretty solid... oh well, so much for that little joke :( | 07:53 |
| Jester45 | i would say highend laptops are ~1000 | 07:54 |
| Jester45 | or more | 07:54 |
| leobloom | uhm ok but I?m not a child :D cant I buy them too:D? | 07:54 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: well, highend notebooks here are more pricey :( | 07:54 |
| === Jester45 doesnt like laptops to much | ||
| Merchelo | i don't know how much they are, all i know they come in 3's into the office :/ | 07:55 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: http://laptop.org/ | 07:55 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: in each of us is a little kid ;) | 07:55 |
| Merchelo | also, xfburn doesn't want to burn my iso | 07:55 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: why? | 07:55 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: I use k3b | 07:55 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: ah yes...the one laptop per child initiative...great idea...I heard the cost was already escalating $150+ though | 07:55 |
| leobloom | I just want one with 512 ram or so, a decent 3d card, dvd reader/burner and ehternet port and linux compatible, need nothing more lol :D | 07:55 |

| hyper_ch | if they could sell them just for $100.- that would be quite a boost for linux :) | 07:56 |
| leobloom | uhm maybe better buying a secondhand laptop, doe any of you know a reliable online seller? | 07:57 |
| Jester45 | i think i would rather buy http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3094330&sku=A458-1172%20A for $104 | 07:57 |
| Merchelo | man, thats looks good, but i wish i lived in the states | 07:58 |
| grazie | if they $150 I'd still be interested, but there not targeting them for 'rich' westerners | 07:58 |
| grazie | they're* | 07:58 |
| Jester45 | and add a few parts and it would a nice. i think my dislike of laptop is because they are not as powerfull, overheat easier, have smaller screens, hardher to upgrade | 07:58 |
| Jester45 | im looking at buying that barebones kit with this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3120587&sku=O261-8080 as ram | 08:00 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: but they are so much more confortable playing freeciv in front of the tv ;) | 08:00 |
| Jester45 | no... way less comfortable at least for me | 08:00 |
| leobloom | I want a laptop =o/ I've browen my laptop's keyboard, how can I fix it? | 08:00 |
| Jester45 | use an external one... or replace the one in the laptop | 08:01 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: get a new laptop ;) | 08:01 |
| Jester45 | use that machine as a nice little media center on my tv | 08:01 |
| leobloom | where can I buy one to replace it? | 08:01 |
| hyper_ch | so, I'm off to get some food and then I'll have some work to do | 08:02 |
| leobloom | I am trying to upgrade the laptop myself with some stuff I've ofund here and htere but it's the first time I?m touching the hw... | 08:02 |
| leobloom | so bon appetit =o) | 08:02 |
| Merchelo | wow, k3b is nice | 08:02 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: merci beaucoup | 08:02 |
| leobloom | =o) | 08:02 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: it is | 08:02 |
| leobloom | I've discovered today k3b is thought for kde but on my ubuntu always worked perfectly | 08:03 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: why "bon" and not "buon appetito"... | 08:03 |
| Jester45 | ubuntu can use any package in the repo | 08:03 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch, because he doesnt know how to speed it? | 08:04 |
| hyper_ch | but for the use of kde appz it just needs to load additional libraries... libraries that are loaded in kde by default.... | 08:04 |
| leobloom | bon appetit is French, buon appetito is Italian ;) | 08:04 |
| Jester45 | yep, thats why running kde stuff on xubuntu is looked down becuase it slows xfce down | 08:04 |
| Jester45 | ooo | 08:04 |
| hyper_ch | leobloom: I konw... but you are logged in from an italian provider hence I assume tu parli italiano | 08:04 |
| leobloom | in fact I am =o) | 08:04 |

| zephid | Is it a bug in xUbuntu, that it uses /etc/enviroment to set LANG instead of /etc/default/locale ? | 10:30 |
| maxamillion | zephid: no clue ... but i think that would be more of a ubuntu issue then a Xubuntu bug as xubuntu uses ubuntu-base as a starting point for development | 10:31 |
| zephid | maxamillion: I am afaried not, I am using Kubuntu and Ubuntu also, and they don't use it | 10:31 |
| maxamillion | zephid: really? .... interesting | 10:33 |
| maxamillion | zephid: i will look into that | 10:33 |
| zephid | I used two days to figure out why I could | 10:33 |
| zephid | I used two days to figure out why I could't change LANG to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 | 10:33 |
| zephid | Then it crossed my mind to check the old debian way, /etc/enviroment | 10:34 |

| fiXXXerMet | OK, I have the card installed. | 10:42 |
| fiXXXerMet | Now is there a better frontend for my card then the one that is provided? | 10:42 |
| fiXXXerMet | Something that can scan and that I can enter a passphrase with? | 10:43 |
| Jester45 | is it just me or are a lot of packages having segmentation faults in fiesty? | 10:46 |
| predaeus | Jester45, what applications are misbehaving? | 10:47 |

| Jester45 | xoids did it when you finished a level | 10:52 |
| Jester45 | k3d did it only a few times and it wasnt the same thing | 10:52 |

| Jester45 | segfaults* | 11:14 |
| predaeus | Jester45, you could probably playback the cd with xmms and output with the disk writer ogg or wav plugin. | 11:15 |
| Jester45 | i need mp3 or wma, but prefer mp3 ove wma | 11:16 |
| Jester45 | and it has to be a pretty simple gui (for my dad) | 11:16 |
| Jester45 | well doesnt have to be simple but it would be nice not to have to show him every time he wants to use it | 11:18 |

| Jester45 | gonna try grip | 11:21 |
| maxamillion | grip? | 11:21 |
| grazie | !grip | 11:23 |
| ubotu | grip is a ripping player and has a minor bug which can be solved by doing this "sudo ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/cdromN" where X is your hard drive and N a number | 11:23 |
| Jester45 | humm | 11:23 |
| Jester45 | it doesnt do mp3 or wma | 11:23 |
| BFTD | Jester45 yes it does | 11:23 |

| BFTD | Jester45 yeah | 11:24 |
| Jester45 | yea... how would you do it | 11:25 |
| Jester45 | the help says lame infile outfile | 11:25 |

| Amon-san | hi i'm running the memtest part of the xubuntu-boot-disk. how long should the tests run to produce significant results? | 12:10 |
| Jester45 | how can i edit manualy the menu? not with menu editor becuase that doesnt show all the entries | 12:10 |
| Jester45 | Amon-san, depends on the CPU you have and how much RAM | 12:10 |
| Amon-san | 96MB ram celeron 533 | 12:11 |
| Jester45 | that shouldnt take that long, but it still takes a while | 12:12 |
| Amon-san | for the fist pass it took about 16 minutes | 12:12 |
| Amon-san | but does that suficiently test the system or how many passes should i run? | 12:13 |
| Jester45 | i do 4 passes | 12:13 |
| Jester45 | each pass takes longer but test better | 12:13 |
| Amon-san | okay | 12:14 |
