Criscoso what do you think about Ubuntu switching to Unity?00:25
UndiFineDwell, I don mind really I expect that there will be a gubuntu release now00:37
UndiFineDand my personal system is nothing like a default ubuntu00:38
Criscowell, I still prefer Gnome...00:39
UndiFineDme too00:40
CriscoI guess mine is somewhat like the default Ubuntu00:40
UndiFineDand my eeepc 901 runs well with xfce00:40
CriscoI still use Empathy00:40
UndiFineDme too, but that is only for gtalk and hotmail really00:41
Criscoheh, Empathy has caused problems for me before00:41
UndiFineDtwitter is connected too, but I barely use it00:42
Criscopeople would message me on facbook at like 4:00 and ask what I was doing up00:42
UndiFineDat 4.00 ? I generally do not respond00:43
Criscowell, I really can't because I'm asleep00:43
Criscoactually it's more like 2:00 but I've gotten 4 as well00:43
UndiFineDitÅ› 1:45 now :p00:44
Crisco:O00:44
Criscoit's 17:44 here00:44
UndiFineDkids have their vacation, so less urge to get up early00:44
Criscoyou're a parent?00:45
UndiFineDit was forced upon me 3 years ago :p00:45
Criscoheh00:46
UndiFineDfound a gf with 4 children00:46
Criscothat's what my newspaper teacher said00:46
UndiFineDoldest just became 1700:46
Criscowow...00:46
Criscohe's older than me00:46
UndiFineDshe, all girls00:46
Criscoshe00:47
Criscowhen is she graduating?00:47
UndiFineDshe isn00:47
UndiFineDnot00:47
CriscoI want to meet someone from my same city some time on the internet...00:48
Criscojust so that I can meet someone that I can talk to for real at like school about people on IRC00:48
UndiFineDsame city ? hmm I doubt that you'll find them on freenode00:49
Criscoyeah00:49
CriscoI've only met one person from my same state00:49
Criscoand that was on EFnet00:49
UndiFineDthe list of irc networks is long00:49
UndiFineDin the past, irc networks produced a count of users daily00:50
UndiFineDirc has become less popular due to botnets taking over channels00:51
UndiFineDand general spamming00:51
Criscoyeah...00:52
CriscoI like it better than IM00:52
UndiFineDoh and I talked with the developers promotion team, suggested we could do a tour on how to improve ubuntu and point people to various places00:59
UndiFineDso that is another pointer to our application01:00
CriscoI'd like to see in the Ubuntu install disc it having multiple options, if you are connected to the internet it would have KDE, Xfce, Gnome, Openbox, and Unity01:01
MuscovyIsn't openbox a WM?01:01
Criscowait...01:01
Criscowhat was I thinking of01:01
UndiFineDno they are having issue to fit it all on the single cd as it is, only a dvd release would help a bit with this01:01
Criscothere was something that incorporated openbox01:02
CriscoUndiFineD: that's why you would have to be connected to the internet01:02
MuscovyWell, we could probably fit all the text we want into the CD.01:03
Criscootherwise it would install Unity or Gnome and then when you get on the internet it would give you a popup to install one of the other DE01:03
UndiFineDhave to ? not really canonical has a hard time letting go of the office application on the cd01:03
UndiFineDbut that is really the one they should dump from the install01:04
MuscovyOh _wow_.01:04
MuscovyWe have about 650 KB of text.01:04
UndiFineD:)01:05
MuscovyWould anyone happen to know what package or config files are used to set the Open With stuff?01:06
Muscovy#ubuntu seems a little slow today.01:06
UndiFineDopenoffice.org-core.deb is 119mb if that is removed from cd install cd ...01:07
MuscovyI can see why they want to keep OO though.01:07
MuscovyIt's fairly useful, and about 90% of people I've mentioned office software to didn't know there were apps other than MS/Mac office.01:08
UndiFineDno they will move to libreoffice01:08
Criscolibreoffice is like the communities split of openoffice right?01:08
MuscovyYeah.01:08
Criscobecause of Oracle taking ove Sun01:08
UndiFineDand because of oracle doing weird stuff to java01:09
MuscovyIs Oracle turning evil, or is this just an independence thing?01:09
Criscowhat is it doing to java?01:09
UndiFineDit is retracting licences01:09
MuscovyI read something somewhere about Russia forcing Oracle to keep mySQL FOSS. I think.01:10
UndiFineDopensolaris got killed01:10
Muscovy:(01:10
MuscovyI liked it as a vacation partition.01:10
UndiFineDthere are better foss databases now01:10
MuscovyI thought it was independent now though.01:11
Criscoso what do you think about google paying some employees to help develop the Linux kernel?01:11
UndiFineDwell, google at least releases their improvements back to the community01:12
UndiFineDand look at google summer of code01:12
Criscoyeah01:12
UndiFineDthat is a big effort for them01:13
* Crisco doesn't mention his conspiracy theory of google trying to replace every default browser with Chrome01:14
UndiFineDthey can try, but google really depend upon mozilla here and they are the real deal01:15
CriscoI rarely use Chromium any more01:16
CriscoFx just works for me01:16
Criscoand I love NoScript01:16
UndiFineDbut unity is not the most interesting aspect of this uds I think, the fact that the software center becomes an application store where anybody should be able to add their app to increase the number of applications and increase the quality at the same time01:24
CriscoI still haven't updated to 10.1001:27
Criscois it worth it?01:27
UndiFineDit is working for me01:27
Criscoany great improvements?01:27
UndiFineDI think they did a lot for audio01:28
UndiFineDand the indicator applet is better then their predecessors01:29
Criscomaybe that will fix my VLC having laggy Audio01:29
UndiFineDhumm no lag here and my machine is becoming 8 years old01:29
CriscoI'm talking about when streaming from my capture card01:30
Criscothe video is just fine, however the audio is kind of...01:30
UndiFineDk, i got nothing to capture01:31
Criscohow about I just show you on dropbox01:31
UndiFineDhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/7607669/desktop.png01:31
Criscohttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/5135448/Screenshot.png01:32
UndiFineDwhile conky looks nice, I wouldn want to monitor my system all the time01:34
UndiFineDit is very resource intense01:35
Criscohttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/5135448/Shared%20With%20IRC%20folk/test.ogg01:36
Crisconot really01:36
Criscouses about 9.2mb or RAM and at most 2% of my cpu01:36
Criscowith all my programs running that's still less than windows was on idle01:37
UndiFineDI have not had windows installed on my machines for 7 years01:39
Criscoheh well let's just say that it's cpu monitor on idle looks like my network monitor in conky01:39
UndiFineDcan't get the ogg file01:39
Criscohttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/5135448/Screenshot.png01:39
CriscoUndiFineD: what's the error?01:39
UndiFineDno error, just waiting for dropbox to respond01:40
Criscooh01:40
Criscoubuntu one is worse though :<01:41
Criscoi wish it worked better, but dropbox outcompetes01:41
UndiFineDwget does the job01:41
Criscowget <301:41
Omega Muscovy> Is Oracle turning evil, or is this just an independence  thing?01:42
OmegaWe were promised a foundation years ago01:42
OmegaIt never happened01:42
Omegaso people took matter into their own hands01:43
UndiFineDah that audio lag01:43
UndiFineDwell, they did a lot of work on pulse audio01:43
UndiFineDso should be better now i hope01:43
MuscovyI plan to move to LibreOffice soon.01:43
CriscoUndiFineD: I think it has to do with vlc though01:43
MuscovyI just depend on OO a lot for taking notes, so I want to wait for any bad bugs to pass.01:44
OmegaAnd OO.O makes it hard for third party contributers to contribute01:44
CriscoI was able to record with sound recorder and it worked just fine01:44
OmegaMuscovy: http://www.documentfoundation.org/faq/01:44
OmegaMuscovy: I predict Libreoffice to have less bugs01:45
MuscovyOh cool, thanks for the link.01:45
UndiFineDLibreOffice should also move away from java use and compile more01:46
MuscovyA friend of mine just got into a little Java, and it seems kinda inefficient.01:47
UndiFineDhttp://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta2/deb/x86/01:53
UndiFineDthe whole deal is a cd in itself01:53
UndiFineDanyway, 3 am, time for me to go to bed01:55
