[01:37] <DanaG> Ugh, for some reason, mouse isn't working in the wallpaper selection tab of gnome-appearance-properties.
[03:30] <DanaG> Woah, I just discovered something: make a directory with some name, and make a file with that same name within the directory.  Then try to move the file (with ctrl-x) up a level.
[03:30] <DanaG> The old dir will disappear... and then the file will be gone... because it hadn't moved yet.
[03:56] <Linolium> hi all, I have a silly question
[03:56] <Linolium> does anyone here know about the linker ld?
[13:07] <Assid> whats with the naming of ubuntu releases
[13:07] <Assid> g g .. h h .. i i
[13:07] <Pici> !codenames | Assid
[13:07] <Assid> sup Pici
[13:07] <Pici> Howdy
[13:08] <Assid> how goes it
[14:55] <jimmyspark> does anyone here know about opens source licences?
[14:57] <Pici> jimmyspark: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:23] <jimmyspark> ﻿#/join ubuntu-offtopic
[15:23] <jimmyspark> oops
[15:23] <jimmyspark> haha
[16:31] <DanaG> Argh, pm-utils and acpi-support... it's confusing having both.
[16:32] <DanaG> And I wish the thing would stop abusing my hard drive!
[16:32] <sveri> just kill it :D
[16:34] <DanaG> It's totally not cool to have the thing unload and load the drive heads EVERY 5 seconds.
[16:34] <DanaG> (I could go on saying "every 5 seconds" every 5 seconds myself, to make a point.... )
[16:36] <sveri> hehe, at least it sounds so
[16:36] <DanaG> It's always "pdflush" and "kjournald"
[16:38] <DanaG> Oh, and swapper, too.
[16:46] <DanaG> Oh yeah, will it break anything if I use noatime?
[16:47] <sveri> i think you will find out :D
[21:20] <afflux> humm, my LV volumes created by lvm on boot don't create symlinks in /dev/disk/by-*/ anymore after upgrading my packages to intrepid. Any ideas on who's fault this is?
[22:04] <DanaG> Aargh.  Intel wireless is good for linux?  I resumed from suspend, and something was eating one CPU core, and showing up as iowait.  I tried to unload the driver... and it hung, devouring CPU... this time actively (as in, speeds up and heats up CPU).  If this is "good", then what would you define as "bad"?
[22:06] <TheInfinity_> DanaG: you use a pre alpha
[22:07] <DanaG> It was like that on Hardy, too.
[22:07] <DanaG> And in Gutsy, I think.
[22:07] <TheInfinity_> so bugs are your daily bread :p
[22:07] <DanaG> iwl3945 has always been like that for me.
[22:07] <DanaG> ipw3945 worked perfectly fine... iwl3945 sucks.
