| maxwellian | Out of curiosity, what do people mean by "inline" patches? Patches applied directly to the source, rather than saved in something like debian/patches? | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottK | maxwellian: Yes. | 01:07 |
| maxwellian | ScottK: Thanks. Presumably, it's better not to use inline patches if it can be avoided? | 01:19 |
| ScottK | maxwellian: It depends. Generally if the Debian maintainer doesn't use a patch system we prefer not to add it. | 01:49 |
| ScottK | Beyond that, yes. | 01:49 |
| maxwellian | ScottK: Copy that, thanks. | 01:52 |

| Damascene | hi, | 05:39 |
| Damascene | from time to time Ubuntu present you with update manager suggesting updating. updates are separated by importance. don't you think having a check box to enable/disable all the updates under each section? | 05:41 |
| Damascene | * would be a good Idea | 05:42 |
| corey__ | I've got the command line installer going for 8.04 via usb on a system that has no cdrom. It's prompting me an error saying it has to have a cdrom loaded, what gives? | 06:19 |
| corey__ | supplying a mount point of /dev/usb errors as well. | 06:19 |
| corey__ | I seem to not be the only one with this issue. Any clever people with ideas? | 06:22 |
| ScottK | corey__: Did you make the usb image with usb-creator? | 06:25 |
| corey__ | ScottK, Yes I did. | 06:25 |
| ScottK | Hmmm. Dunno then. Usually I hear that about images made with unetbootin. | 06:26 |
| ScottK | corey__: There are some releases where usb-creator-kde works better, you might try that. | 06:26 |
| corey__ | ScottK, Really. You think it's the usb creator and not the distro? | 06:27 |
| ScottK | corey__: I don't know for sure. | 06:27 |
| corey__ | If I switch to a busybox, could I map /dev/usb to /dev/cdrom? | 06:27 |
| ScottK | Alternatively, install 10.04. | 06:27 |
| corey__ | ScottK, That solution will not work for an Artigo A2000 that supports only 8.04 | 06:28 |
| ScottK | I don't know, I kind of doubt it would work. | 06:28 |
| ScottK | I see. | 06:28 |
| corey__ | 8.04 Desktop Edition didn't even work properly when it came to displaying a graphical interface. It spewed corruption all over the place. | 06:29 |
| * ScottK is the wrong person to discuss that with. It matches my general feeling about Gnome. | 06:29 | |
| corey__ | So naturally I went with the alt. cd image but (of course) I ran into another issue! | 06:29 |
| corey__ | I've used gnome for years so I don't understand what you mean by that. | 06:30 |
| maco | Damascene: yes, that sounds like a good papercut to file | 06:30 |
| corey__ | I also used KDE. For about 5 minutes. It was the worse desktop environment I've ever used. | 06:31 |
| * maco pats ScottK's wounded ego | 06:31 | |
| ScottK | maco: It's the beauty of FOSS, there's choice. | 06:31 |
| maco | and choice is the beauty of kde ;-) | 06:31 |
| maco | when its not being horribly confusing | 06:32 |
| ScottK | That too. | 06:32 |
| * maco recalls not-fondly the first day using kde, going "SCOTT! whats THAT mean?" | 06:32 | |
| gord | which one of these eight thousand buttons in my menu am i supoosed to press :( never really got past that with kde | 06:33 |
| corey__ | lol @ using the menu | 06:33 |
| Damascene | maco, nice. should I open a bug about it? | 07:42 |

| AnAnt | is that correct ? | 10:32 |
| Damascene | AnAnt, Salam | 10:51 |
| Damascene | I see you like sl-modem very much :) | 10:52 |
