| Carb0n | Hello? | 17:31 |
| offby1 | halloo? | 17:34 |
| offby1 | nobody here but us zombie processes. | 17:34 |
| Carb0n | hi, I'm interested in writing a review of Ubuntu on an Acer TM 2428 | 17:36 |
| Carb0n | could you guide me on to the procedures | 17:36 |
| offby1 | I don't know any such procedures | 17:38 |
| Carb0n | What do I do to get the laptop into the list? | 17:40 |
| offby1 | no idea :-| | 17:40 |
| offby1 | I know there's a web site with reviews; I assume it's a wiki. | 17:41 |
| Carb0n | Sorry if I sound n00bish -- what's this channel for then? | 17:41 |
| offby1 | you probably have to make an account for yourself, and then you'll be able to create a new page. That's just a guess. | 17:41 |
| offby1 | I use this channel to whine about how ubuntu doesn't work on my Thinkpad :-) | 17:41 |
| offby1 | (although to be fair recently it's been working well enough) | 17:41 |
| Carb0n | Can I whine about the sleep function misbehaving on my TM as well? | 17:42 |
| offby1 | sure! | 17:42 |
| offby1 | suspend and hibernate rarely work right, in my experience. | 17:42 |
| offby1 | along with sound, video, and wireless cards :-| | 17:42 |
| offby1 | whenever they do work, I feel like I've witnessed a small miracle | 17:42 |
| Carb0n | true, so does the screen lock function | 17:43 |
| Carb0n | What do I do to get the side buttons funcitoing? | 17:45 |
| Carb0n | I mean like the Wi-Fi switches and the Bluetooth switches? | 17:46 |
| offby1 | no idea. | 17:46 |
| offby1 | next question :-) | 17:47 |
| Carb0n | lol, nice try. | 17:48 |
| Carb0n | offby1: what's your thinkpad model? | 17:55 |
| offby1 | T60 | 17:55 |
| offby1 | I rather love it, by the way | 17:55 |
| offby1 | even though I've already worn the decals off many of the keys | 17:55 |
| Carb0n | I regret not buying a TP | 17:58 |
| offby1 | i bet used ones are reasonably priced | 18:01 |
| Carb0n | I couldn't even get a "used" one, no stock. | 18:06 |
| Carb0n | My Acer TM is getting flimsy and fragile | 18:06 |
| offby1 | Thinkpads are nice, but wouldn't ya know it, their price reflects that. | 18:08 |
| offby1 | I got ubuntu working reasonably well on a Dell Latitude C640, which will probably set you back about two cents these days; I only got rid of it because it was physically falling apart (because it had been dropped a few times too many) | 18:09 |
| Carb0n | so which ones do you recommend? | 18:09 |
| offby1 | which of what? | 18:10 |
| Carb0n | that "best" runs Linux (too broad a word) | 18:10 |
| offby1 | couldn't tell ya. | 18:13 |
| offby1 | All I know is the two I've mentioned work reasonably well. | 18:13 |
| Carb0n | :) | 18:13 |
| offby1 | there used to be a company that specialised in selling laptops with linux pre-installed. I think they're out of business now. | 18:13 |
| Carb0n | So how do I add my lap to the list? | 18:13 |
| Carb0n | too bad | 18:13 |
| offby1 | like I said earlier: I assume you need to create an account on that wiki. | 18:13 |
| Carb0n | ok, can try. | 18:14 |
| Carb0n | Is there a guideline I can follow | 18:14 |
| offby1 | copy an existing page, obviously. | 18:14 |
| Carb0n | I searched launchpad, but couldn't find any | 18:14 |
| offby1 | the web site I'm thinking of is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/, by the way | 18:14 |
| Carb0n | ok, thanks | 18:14 |
| Carb0n | same one | 18:15 |
| Carb0n | yes | 18:15 |
| offby1 | another option is http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki | 18:15 |
| Carb0n | but I don't use /own a TP :( | 18:15 |
| offby1 | oh yeah | 18:21 |
| offby1 | oops | 18:21 |
| offby1 | I was just pasting a bunch of my bookmarks without really thinking. | 18:21 |
| offby1 | "thinking", get it; haw haw. | 18:21 |
| Carb0n | lol | 18:22 |

| nixnoob | anyone running gutsy on a Asus C90s? just wanted to kno if there are any issues? | 22:42 |
| offby1 | I would expect wireless, video, sound, suspend, and hibernation to all fail. | 22:53 |
| offby1 | Other than that I expect it'll be fine :-| | 22:53 |
| offby1 | Note that I've never even _seen_ an Asus computer; I'm just a pessimist | 22:53 |
| nixnoob | offby1, thats odd the ubuntu wiki says my wireless and video are supported | 22:55 |
| nixnoob | You're just a grinch. | 22:58 |
| offby1 | yup | 22:59 |
| offby1 | like I said: pessimist | 23:00 |
| nixnoob | Yea, I've been looking on google and the only thing I could find regarding Gusty and this notebook is a problem with one of the FN keys... A problem which I really don't care about. | 23:00 |
