| kahrytan | crimsun» You try ibex in vbox? | 00:22 |
| crimsun | I ran it for a week or so on another laptop | 00:22 |
| kahrytan | crimsun» http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/vboxkernelpanic.png | 00:23 |
| crimsun | mostly for install/upgrade/downgrade/deinstall testing | 00:23 |
| kahrytan | crimsun» Livecd kernel panics | 00:24 |
| gluer__ | acer extensa 5620z way to unpredictable with intrepid, testing halted | 00:25 |
| gluer__ | lol | 00:25 |
| kahrytan | i thought acer was good for linux | 00:25 |
| gluer__ | yes but is linux good for acer? | 00:25 |
| kahrytan | gluer» try freebsd | 00:26 |
| gluer__ | ive got 10 or 11 different laptops here, just testing each with intrepid | 00:26 |
| kahrytan | gluer» I test with vbox | 00:27 |
| gluer__ | once i get the laptop working with intrepid..i move on to the next one | 00:28 |
| gluer__ | lol | 00:28 |
| kahrytan | gluer» and the kernel panics with desktop cd. Livecd, Install, and Check for defects dont work | 00:28 |
| gluer__ | its my hobby and it drives my wife crazy!! | 00:28 |
| gluer__ | hehehe | 00:29 |
| kahrytan | gluer» thats because she would rather you spend time doing other stuff :wink: | 00:29 |
| gluer__ | she is so sick of hearing the gui login sound that she forces me to turn sound off | 00:29 |
| gluer__ | lol | 00:29 |
| kahrytan | gluer__» I'm sick of that sound | 00:30 |
| kahrytan | You would think by now, they would change that ubuntu start sund | 00:30 |
| kahrytan | sound | 00:31 |
| gluer__ | there is a nice sound theme on gnome i changed my desktop to.. its called dream or something | 00:31 |
| kahrytan | My fav startup sound of all time is embedded in the firmware of every comp made by this one company | 00:31 |
| kahrytan | its become a trademark of this one comp | 00:31 |
| gluer__ | lol | 00:31 |
| gluer__ | at least its not the damn xp logo..man i built over 20000 desktops with that logo | 00:32 |
| kahrytan | gluer» what sound am i talking about | 00:33 |
| gluer__ | you tell me | 00:33 |
| kahrytan | gluer» mac startup sound | 00:33 |
| gluer__ | oh | 00:33 |
| gluer__ | hehe | 00:33 |
| kahrytan | short, sweet and to the point | 00:34 |
| gluer__ | in relation to our discussion this is quite humerous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt1bgsvsWms | 00:35 |
| gluer__ | hehe | 00:35 |
| kahrytan | lol | 00:39 |
| gluer__ | hahaha | 00:39 |
| gluer__ | make me laugh everytime | 00:39 |
| kahrytan | I was expecting everyone to clap at the end | 00:40 |
| gluer__ | lol | 00:40 |
| kahrytan | if they did, video would be funnier | 00:40 |
| gluer__ | yes | 00:41 |
| kahrytan | But ubuntu needs new start sound | 00:42 |
| DanaG | I use the really short "logout" sound as the log-IN sound. | 00:43 |
| kahrytan | I wonder if Ubuntu live cd has enough room for 3-5mb more. | 00:43 |
| kahrytan | It would be interesting if Canonical could do deals with indie music artists and add one song to music player | 00:43 |
| daekdroom | lol | 00:44 |
| crimsun | quite a few people actually use dapper's startup sound in hardy | 00:44 |
| kahrytan | daekdroom» whats funny | 00:45 |
| gluer__ | how about an ibex mating call? as sound? | 00:45 |
| daekdroom | kahrytan, I, trying to imagine ubuntu coming with one free indie song when you open rhythmbox | 00:45 |
| kahrytan | gluer» just as long as it's not the peacock mating song | 00:46 |
| daekdroom | but that's because of my odd sense of humor | 00:46 |
| gluer__ | someone go to africa and record one on DAT | 00:46 |
| gluer__ | lol | 00:46 |
| daekdroom | I'm kinda sure there might be some Ibex mating sounds in CC.. | 00:46 |
| kahrytan | gluer» peacock, http://youtube.com/watch?v=9MhZPqHeEAQ | 00:47 |
| gluer__ | hahahahahaha | 00:48 |
| kahrytan | gluer» now imagine hearing that every single day and night | 00:48 |
| kahrytan | over and over again | 00:48 |
| gluer__ | kayhrytan: thanks mate, you just found me the perfect alarm clock for my wife | 00:48 |
| aguitel | how is running intrepid? | 00:49 |
| kahrytan | gluer» it is my alarm clock | 00:49 |
| kahrytan | gluer» There is peacocks around this condo building. they quieted down a bit.. mating season seems to be over. but i wanted to kill them | 00:50 |
| gluer__ | the ibex are quite aggresive | 00:51 |
| gluer__ | 1 minute into this clip might be a good sound http://youtube.com/watch?v=956NMeTNWrY | 00:51 |
| kahrytan | Alpha male thing | 00:53 |
| gluer__ | yeh | 00:53 |
| kahrytan | debian testing is done downloading | 00:54 |
| gluer__ | kahrytan: i have a similar problem with my neighbours dogs barking, only thing that seems to work is 'red hot chilli peppers' californication for some reason they go quiet | 00:55 |
| kahrytan | Debian test works in vbox but not Ibex Alpha 3 | 00:56 |
| kahrytan | Ibex Alpha 1 works in vbox but not 2 and 3 apparently | 00:56 |
| daekdroom | Alpha 2 does work | 00:57 |
| daekdroom | It's just random | 00:57 |
| gluer__ | well i can install alpha 1 -2 but not alpha 3 | 00:57 |
| daekdroom | You can boot now, but not in the next 2 tries | 00:57 |
| daekdroom | Or was it alpha 1? I can't remember xD | 00:57 |
| SergeantPony | does anyone know how to tone down the system tracker so it doesn't use 14 gig of hard drive space? | 00:57 |
| kahrytan | daekdroom» i tried repeatedly with alpha 3 with desktop cd | 00:57 |
| kahrytan | daekdroom» alpha 1 had weird screen flashes in vbox | 00:59 |
| kahrytan | They wont be using that ugly dark colored theme in Ibex will they? | 01:00 |
| gluer__ | yes | 01:00 |
| daekdroom | They won't | 01:00 |
| kahrytan | http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/Screenshot/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-1.png | 01:00 |
| daekdroom | They are testing dark schemes only | 01:00 |
| kahrytan | They need to change icon theme | 01:01 |
| daekdroom | Why? I think it's perfect. | 01:01 |
| kahrytan | metacity, i can live with but human icon theme. its starting to grate thin on me | 01:01 |
| kahrytan | human icons arent modern anymore | 01:02 |
| daekdroom | but the damn human icon theme didn't change! O.o | 01:02 |
| daekdroom | I'm beginning to think Ubuntu is getting deprecated. | 01:02 |
| daekdroom | They aren't even updating their GTK engine | 01:02 |
| gluer__ | i think overall the desktop theme is severely lagging behind the compiz stuff | 01:03 |

| kahrytan | last time i tried kde4. it crashed when I try kde3 classic theme | 01:08 |
| gluer__ | me to | 01:09 |
| gluer__ | crashed | 01:09 |
| daekdroom | I think the fact KDE4 doesn't have desktop icons is a regression :x | 01:09 |
| JontheEchidna | It does, folderview | 01:09 |
| DanaG | Yeah... but it can't fill the desktop nicely. | 01:10 |
| DanaG | YOu can't fill the whole desktop with it... and you can't even resize the damn thing from the corners. | 01:10 |
| laga | you can't resize your desktop either ;) | 01:10 |
| DanaG | On Nautilus, the icons fill the desktop. | 01:11 |
| DanaG | They're not in a draggable window thingy. | 01:11 |
| JontheEchidna | it's a workable compromise until 4.2 | 01:11 |
| JontheEchidna | better than icons in 4.0 | 01:11 |
| * DanaG wishes VirtualBox would use QT4. | 01:12 | |
| JontheEchidna | Qt4 is nice | 01:12 |
| DanaG | Oh, and Amarok 2 (amarok-kde4) sucks compared to the old one. | 01:12 |
| DanaG | You can't right-click and "add folder to playlist" | 01:12 |
| * DanaG sticks with QuodLibet instead. | 01:12 | |
| JontheEchidna | just drag the folder over to the playlist? | 01:12 |
| JontheEchidna | unless you mean you can't do it from dolphin or konqueror | 01:13 |
| JontheEchidna | in that case that's not amarok's fautl | 01:14 |
| kahrytan | KDE4 and Vista have something in common | 01:14 |
| kahrytan | They both werent ready for release. | 01:14 |
| DanaG | Dragging is bad for accessibility. | 01:15 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, speaking of dragging.... | 01:15 |
| crimsun | DanaG: get your libc6 issue sorted? | 01:15 |
| DanaG | try dragging the column headers in Dolphin, to bring "type" to the left of "date" | 01:15 |
| DanaG | Yeah, the reboot fixed the ldconfig illegal instruction. | 01:15 |
| crimsun | ok. | 01:15 |
| DanaG | Must've been a fluke. Download corruption, or disk corruption, or some oddity of CPU or RAM. | 01:16 |
| DanaG | It's on an older, not-guaranteed-stable laptop. | 01:16 |
| crimsun | nah, you just hit the corner case of libc6 upgrades | 01:16 |
| crimsun | it happens and isn't hardware-related | 01:16 |

| DanaG | Oh yeah, have any of you used Hamachi? | 01:18 |
| DanaG | If I have two Hamachi clients behind the same router, and I try to ping one from the other, I get "destination host unreachable". | 01:19 |
| DanaG | I do think it's odd that the Intel NIC has so much more trouble with PulseAudio than the Broadcom does... even though the former connects at 54 megabits, and the latter at 16 or so. | 01:20 |
| crimsun | it's not that surprising | 01:25 |
| DanaG | Which? The Hamachi thing, or the network thing? | 01:28 |
| crimsun | the latter | 01:30 |
| DanaG | Hmm. | 01:32 |
| DanaG | Why's that? | 01:33 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, and if Intel wireless is so much better for Linux..... why does it suck so badly? | 01:33 |
| crimsun | my experience has been that bcm performs better than iwl | 01:34 |
| crimsun | so it's not at all surprising that there's either interrupt hell or something else | 01:34 |
| crimsun | my only iwl machine runs gutsy, so it's not a good comparison | 01:34 |
| DanaG | I wonder how different WLAN and WWAN antennae (antennas?) are. My next laptop will likely have two mini-PCIe slots, so I could stick one card of each type in the thing -- but the one in the WWAN card slot would need some sort of antenna. | 01:37 |

| murlidhar | the bug has already been registered in lauchpad | 04:49 |
| murlidhar | Hobbsee: libparser16 and librender16 is required by obconf and libparser21 and librender21 is required by openbox . One cannot install both of these in a single machine due conflicting dependencies | 04:51 |

| crimsun | obconf 2.0.3-3 built on 5 june. openbox 3.4.7.2-2 built on 13 june. | 05:55 |

| Hobbsee | oh | 06:12 |
| RAOF | fyrestrtr: Where are you getting network-manager 0.7.0 from? It's not in the official repositories, so it shouldn't have bugs reported against it. At least Ubuntu bugs. | 06:13 |

| Hobbsee | oh, true | 06:14 |
| fyrestrtr | so I shouldn't file bugs against that? | 06:15 |
| RAOF | fyrestrtr: Right. So, not an Ubuntu package, so no launchpad bugs please. | 06:15 |
| fyrestrtr | hrmm ... isn't it a part of Ibex? | 06:15 |
| RAOF | No. | 06:15 |
| RAOF | If it doesn't come from archive.ubuntu.com or one of the mirrors, it's not a part of Ibex. | 06:15 |
| fyrestrtr | You mean it won't be included in Ibex ... ie, its not in the feature list? | 06:16 |
| DanaG | If you're wondering why I'm popping in and out repeatedly... it's because I'm mucking around with my router. | 06:16 |
| RAOF | That's a 3rd party PPA. It's run by an Ubuntu dev, where he pushes experimental packages that may or may not make Ibex. | 06:16 |

| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 06:16 |
| RAOF | fyrestrtr: I don't know whether n-m 0.7 will be included in Intrepid. That depends on how released it is in a couple of weeks time, I'd guess. | 06:17 |
| fyrestrtr | I would like to recommend that it be included, as its quite an improvement over the current network manager. | 06:17 |
| fyrestrtr | ignoring the fact that I can't seem to save profiles in it. | 06:17 |

| fyrestrtr | I'm not sure what's the different in F9, but there it works without any hiccups. | 06:18 |
| RAOF | Also, some software doesn't seem particularly happy that my lappy has 2 IP addresses associated. | 06:18 |
| DanaG | wtf... my other computer disappeared from pulseaudio's devices. | 06:21 |
| DanaG | That's so lame. | 06:21 |
| DanaG | And service-discovery-applet still sees it. | 06:21 |
| DanaG | Now I have to quit my music player and kill and restart the local pulseaudio server. | 06:21 |
| DanaG | And Intel wireless is so sucky. | 06:22 |

| DanaG | Is there a standard port pulseaudio sends its audio data over, for those tunnel sinks? I don't want to give up the zeroconf-ness of it to get a fixed port number. | 06:50 |
| DanaG | from an old pre-zeroconf bug report: " I'd also vote for this, or maybe just improved error handling when a tunnel goes down. The only reason I've been using pulseaudio is to be able to seemlessly switch between local audio and remote network audio without having to restart applications. This seems to work pretty well w/ a local sink and a tunnel sink... But, if the link goes down for any reason, I have to restart the local pulsea | 06:58 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/69 | 06:59 |
| DanaG | Airport Express support.... any chance of seeing that in Intrepid? | 06:59 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, is there an app that'll show bandwidth usage of various applications? | 07:05 |
| RAOF | DanaG: How'd you like to package up the GData.NET libraries for me? | 07:06 |
| DanaG | huh? | 07:06 |
| RAOF | Get packaging! Chop chop! | 07:07 |
| DanaG | Can't say I even know what GData.NET is. | 07:07 |
| RAOF | Google's .NET API. | 07:07 |

| RAOF | Why is your network so crap? | 07:09 |
| osmosis | how can I install just a single packages from intrepid? (Im on hardy) | 07:10 |
| DanaG1 | ... and that last dropout.... totally random. And I even got a little freeererererereererererereeze in audio like that. Oh, I see... it was an "IRQ 17: Nobody cared" | 07:12 |
| === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG | ||
| DanaG | that repeating is a sound effect... trying to convey the impression of a repeating sound. | 07:12 |
| RAOF | osmosis: Generally, you don't. It's a bad idea. | 07:13 |
| DanaG | Aah.... and the cardbus slot and my Intel card share an IRQ. | 07:13 |
| DanaG | Aah. | 07:13 |
| DanaG | iwl3945 gives me nice dropouts of multiple seconds. | 07:14 |
| DanaG | Pulseaudio through iwl3945? FOrget it, it doesn't work. | 07:14 |
| osmosis | RAOF: I need a newer version of the KVM binary. The one in hardy is ancient! And all the updates have been nearly all bug fixes. http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/ChangeLog But no updates are going to be applied to hardy,..only patches. Since the hardy current one if obsolete and my kvm guests hosts are crashing, I need to get a newer KVM. | 07:14 |
| RAOF | osmosis: Do you also need the kernel modules? | 07:15 |
| RAOF | osmosis: Also, it's not particularly ancient; it's a couple of months old :) | 07:16 |
| osmosis | RAOF: thats what I would have thought, but everytime I try and report a crash to #kvm, they all just tell me it is an old issue that was long ago fixed. | 07:18 |
| RAOF | Right; that's why you should be reporting to launchpad :) | 07:18 |
| osmosis | and the only suggestion is to upgrade | 07:18 |
| DanaG | hmm, new in Intel wireless drivers: packet injection for iwl3945. | 07:18 |
| osmosis | RAOF: did. | 07:18 |
| DanaG | Hmm, anything interesting-but-not-malicious I should try doing with it? | 07:19 |
| RAOF | osmosis: Right; so, this is a problem. | 07:19 |
| osmosis | RAOF: my reports to launchpad fall upon deaf ears. I got a response that said, "sorry, we can't duplicate." Well yah, I cant duplicate it either. Its random crashes. | 07:19 |
| RAOF | osmosis: So, you can try building the Intrepid package against Hardy; that'll give you the binary & a way to build the new kernel module. | 07:20 |
| osmosis | RAOF: and thats for the ones where I have clear error messages! | 07:20 |
| osmosis | argh, im screwed with KVM. I should have stayed with Xen. | 07:20 |
| RAOF | You could also ask for a backport | 07:20 |
| RAOF | !backports | 07:20 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 07:20 |
| osmosis | i got no way to fix this, and my hosts are crashing. I thought KVM was going to be officially supported?! Yah, backports. Thats a great idea. | 07:21 |
| RAOF | Hm. kvm _is_ in main. | 07:21 |
| osmosis | RAOF: yah, its in the official server docs too. Its just not really maintained. Its out of date, and not many patches have been applied to it. The docs are rather incomplete. Quite depressing. | 07:22 |
| RAOF | osmosis: Well, out of date is expected; the presumption is no new versions after a release. | 07:23 |
| RAOF | osmosis: Maybe it shouldn't be in main if the development is so fast, though. | 07:23 |
| osmosis | RAOF: yah, just one of those strange cases where the "stable" version of software is less stable then the "edge" version. And the edge version is more stable then the stable. I hate it when that happens. | 07:24 |
| osmosis | RAOF: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hardy-backports/+bug/252257 | 07:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 252257 in hardy-backports "please backport kvm" [Undecided,New] | 07:29 |
| RAOF | It would be excellent if you could test that the backport works; there should be instructions on the !backports page. | 07:30 |
| osmosis | RAOF: you mean like use the package from intrepid ? | 07:31 |
| RAOF | I mean: check that the package from intrepid builds on Hardy, installs on Hardy, and works on Hardy. | 07:31 |
| osmosis | RAOF: cool. That brings me to, how do I get the kvm package from intrepid ? | 07:32 |
| osmosis | usually i would look for it on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , but the site is down | 07:32 |
| RAOF | I'd suggest the 'prevu' package is likely a good start; I'm not sure how much that does, though. | 07:32 |
| RAOF | Failing that, you can grab the source from launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm | 07:36 |
| Laney | prevu will grab the source and build a .deb from it | 07:40 |
| osmosis | Laney: how do I use prevu? I installed it, did DISTRO="hardy" prevu-init | 07:42 |
| Laney | !prevu > me | 07:42 |
| ubottu | Laney, please see my private message | 07:42 |
| osmosis | Laney: but when I do prevu kvm, it looks like its just rebuilding the hardy package. Not the latest from inrepid | 07:43 |
| osmosis | !prevu > me | 07:43 |
| ubottu | osmosis, please see my private message | 07:43 |
| Laney | osmosis: Try DIST=hardy prevu lp:kvm/intrepid | 07:44 |
| osmosis | Laney: looks like its working | 07:45 |
| osmosis | Laney: Im a bit worried because i see in the version history for intrepid "- Change kvm-data conflict/replaces version to 68+dfsg-1, to properly" So it looks like there is a kvm-data dep ? | 07:48 |
| Laney | osmosis: I don't know any of the specifics of kvm, sorry :( | 07:49 |
| osmosis | dpkg -i worked fine | 07:52 |
| RAOF | You'll probably want to module-assistant the kvm kernel module, too. | 07:53 |
| osmosis | RAOF: not sure what that means. It appears I am using kvm-71 now though, and it is working fine. | 07:53 |
| RAOF | osmosis: The kvm package also builds a 'kvm-source' package that contains the source for the kernel module; you can build & install that by using the 'module-assistant' program. | 07:54 |
| osmosis | RAOF: ah, okay. I think I am going to hold off on that because I think most of the fixes I need are just in the kvm binary. | 07:55 |
| osmosis | RAOF: how can you tell it builds a kvm-source package ? | 07:56 |
| RAOF | Because I've touched the kvm package in the past; unless things have changed, it builds a kvm-source package :) | 07:56 |
| Hobbsee | would it be too much to ask to have working flash? | 07:57 |
| Hobbsee | or at least flash that wouldn't crash firefox? | 07:57 |
| RAOF | Hobbsee: Yes. You have a number of differently broken alternatives, though. | 07:57 |
| Hobbsee | which is the best? | 07:58 |
| RAOF | Hobbsee: There's swfdec, which seems to have problems embedding in firefox, and gnash, which crashes as soon as it tries to play video. | 07:58 |
| RAOF | I'd use swfdec; its problems are the least troubling. You'll just get a bunch of extra windows. | 07:58 |
| osmosis | RAOF: its working for now. will let you ( and launchpad ) know how it goes. thanks, bye. | 08:00 |
| Hobbsee | hmm. | 08:01 |
| RAOF | swfdec will play Quaq quao, though. | 08:02 |

| AlmightyCthulhu | multiple accounts, he listed 8, I only had one other, and the only reason it got banned was cause I explained the concept of ROOT to someone | 12:12 |

| hou5ton | anyone know how I can get 8.10 to recognize a usb mass storage? | 20:53 |
| crimsun | generally or a specific model? | 20:54 |
| hou5ton | It says the name Antec on the outside ... it's a large USB external drive I use for all my file backups | 20:56 |
| crimsun | so what is the kernel spewing that it doesn't recognise the device? | 20:56 |
| hou5ton | crimsun: don't know ... I'm not a developer and probably don't have any business trying 8.10 ... but Hardy refused to do wireless on this laptop, so I thought I'd just try something newer | 20:57 |
| hou5ton | crimsun: just hoping to get lucky, I guess | 20:58 |
| hou5ton | but ... before I start working with the wireless on 8.10, I will need the usb external drive to show up | 20:58 |
| crimsun | I recommend you try the kernel and lbm from hardy-proposed before you tinker w/ 8.10 alpha 3 | 20:59 |
| hou5ton | ok | 20:59 |
| hou5ton | crimsun: so ... are you saying with the hardy-proposed the rtl 8185 wireless might work? | 21:01 |
| crimsun | you have to try it first. | 21:02 |

| Volkodav | I am on 64 bit though | 23:17 |
| RAOF | Volkodav: The restricted manager should install them for you now. | 23:18 |
| Volkodav | well I can not get to it since I am on 800x600 and hardly see half of screen | 23:19 |
| Volkodav | I'd rather do it from cli | 23:19 |
| inspyre | what needs work | 23:20 |
| Volkodav | what package do I need? | 23:21 |
| RAOF | Volkodav: That depends on your card. | 23:23 |
| Volkodav | It boots in low-graphics mode | 23:23 |
| Volkodav | 8400 GS | 23:23 |
| RAOF | Volkodav: nvidia-glx-177, then. | 23:23 |
| Volkodav | it works for 64 bit as well? | 23:23 |

| inspyre | what do you think should replace it? | 23:46 |
| G_009 | !gnash | 23:46 |
| ubottu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 23:46 |
| inspyre | ya im for that. you think it will be good? | 23:47 |
| G_009 | nah.. not for now.. and progress is very much slow on dev side | 23:47 |
| crimsun | swfdec works pretty well. | 23:47 |
| crimsun | DanaG: surely you're using some semblance of the pulse pcm+ctl routing? | 23:48 |
| crimsun | DanaG: (I presume you're running 8.10, that is) | 23:48 |
| inspyre | what about an open source flash | 23:48 |
| inspyre | i mean for making flash | 23:49 |
| DanaG | I'm using the alsa-to-pulse wrapper. | 23:49 |
| DanaG | so !default ctl and pcm are type pulse. | 23:50 |
| crimsun | DanaG: and you're using a Flash 10 beta? | 23:51 |
| crimsun | hopefully you're just running across the FF issue to be fixed in 3.0.2 | 23:51 |
| DanaG | Version: 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1 | 23:51 |
| DanaG | I'm also using nspluginwrapper, since otherwise my browser would be crashing. repeatedly. repeatedly. repeatedly. repeatedly. /me repeats himself every 2 pages. | 23:52 |
| crimsun | heh, I have better luck w/ 9.0.124.0 than with 10.0.0.525 | 23:53 |
| DanaG | Yeah, at least 9 crashes only every third tab closure. | 23:54 |
| DanaG | Now it doesn't even take one. It just crashes almost every time. | 23:54 |
