| cjohnston | newz2000: you around? | 21:47 |
| * newz2000 might be around | 21:47 | |
| newz2000 | what's up cjohnston | 21:48 |
| cjohnston | can i talk you into looking at bug 585940 please | 21:49 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 585940 in ubuntu-website "Text reads "not recommended" for 64-bit (affects: 31) (heat: 159)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/585940 | 21:49 |
| newz2000 | Ugh | 21:50 |
| newz2000 | I can assure you that the "not recommended" is perfectly valid, but I'll get some others to weigh in. | 21:50 |
| cjohnston | well.. at uds it was mentioned that the next lts will hopefully only come in a 64 bit | 21:51 |
| cjohnston | and why is it not recommended | 21:52 |
| cjohnston | other than a few minor issues, there is nothing better about 32 | 21:52 |
| newz2000 | well, from my pesonal experience with 9.10 | 21:53 |
| newz2000 | flash and firefox both were relatively screwed up | 21:53 |
| newz2000 | I've heard from others that some drivers don't work with 64b as well, but that's 2nd hand | 21:53 |
| cjohnston | flash still has an issue.. but easy work around.. | 21:53 |
| cjohnston | i run only 64bit | 21:54 |
| * newz2000 notes that he did not choose the wording here | 21:54 | |
| cjohnston | no issues with ff | 21:54 |
| cjohnston | i know | 21:54 |
| newz2000 | There's also the issue that if a person chooses 32b and is on 64b hardware things work, but the opposite is not true | 21:54 |
| cjohnston | that doesnt mean it should say not recommended.. maybe a better thing to solve that would be a link to educate which to choose | 21:55 |
| newz2000 | I wonder if there's a way to detect with Javascript | 21:56 |
| newz2000 | What would be cool is if you could switch from 32b to 64b relatively painlessly | 21:56 |
| cjohnston | you mean prior to install or on the site? | 21:56 |
| newz2000 | during / after install | 21:57 |
| cjohnston | id be interested in knowing how many computers are still 32bit | 21:57 |
| cjohnston | i have 1 of 6 | 21:57 |
| cjohnston | theres not enough cd space for during | 21:57 |
| newz2000 | Tiger direct and Best Buy still sell 32b machines | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | you want me to write a post saying its being researched? | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | wow | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | damn | 21:58 |
| newz2000 | (Pentium Dual Core (as in, not core 2 duo or core duo)) | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | and maybe some of the reasons you mentioned? | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | damn | 21:58 |
| newz2000 | sure | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | ok | 21:58 |
| cjohnston | newz2000: comment made... | 22:09 |
