[02:18] <nixnoob> anyone running gusty on a Asus C90s?
[02:18] <nixnoob> I just wanted to know if its been tested and if it has any issues?
[04:55] <sn00zer> anyone here?
[05:01] <offby1> nobody here but us zombie processes.
[05:41]  * MenZa zombies on.
[08:24] <MenZa> Can anyone add test results on the LaptopTestingTeam wikipage?
[16:16] <Lure> MenZa: off course
[16:18] <MenZa> I shall do that then. :)
[17:31] <Carb0n> Hello?
[17:34] <offby1> halloo?
[17:34] <offby1> nobody here but us zombie processes.
[17:36] <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
[17:38] <offby1> I don't know any such procedures
[17:40] <Carb0n> What do I do to get the laptop into the list?
[17:40] <offby1> no idea :-|
[17:41] <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)
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <Carb0n> true, so does the screen lock function
[17:45] <Carb0n> What do I do to get the side buttons funcitoing?
[17:46] <Carb0n> I mean like the Wi-Fi switches and the Bluetooth switches?
[17:46] <offby1> no idea.
[17:47] <offby1> next question :-)
[17:48] <Carb0n> lol, nice try.
[17:55] <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
[17:58] <Carb0n> I regret not buying a TP
[18:01] <offby1> i bet used ones are reasonably priced
[18:06] <Carb0n> I couldn't even get a "used" one, no stock.
[18:06] <Carb0n> My Acer TM is getting flimsy and fragile
[18:08] <offby1> Thinkpads are nice, but wouldn't ya know it, their price reflects that.
[18:09] <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?
[18:10] <offby1> which of what?
[18:10] <Carb0n> that "best" runs Linux (too broad a word)
[18:13] <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.
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <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 :(
[18:21] <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.
[18:22] <Carb0n> lol
[22:42] <nixnoob> anyone running gutsy on a Asus C90s?  just wanted to kno if there are any issues?
[22:53] <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
[22:55] <nixnoob> offby1, thats odd the ubuntu wiki says my wireless and video are supported
[22:58] <nixnoob> You're just a grinch.
[22:59] <offby1> yup
[23:00] <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.
[23:02] <nixnoob> ï'm §ðð ßð®êÐ.
