linuxman410wrst u here03:28
wrstpace_t_zulu: i'm runnint the latest natty very smoothely and actually using unity without much issue11:45
cyberangerwrst: you missed linuxman410 again11:52
wrstyes i noticed cyberanger he was here for all of what one minute 16 seconds11:53
wrstgotta be quick on the typing for him :)11:53
* wrst heads off to work be back in a few11:53
cyberangerwrst: yeah, just hit a key and send a letter, long enough to type a hello ;-)12:22
wrstyeah cyberanger can't expect always immediate response on irc can you?12:35
cyberangernope12:37
wrstoh well, i suppose we will catch him some time12:38
wrstcyberanger: you must learn to love unity!14:10
cyberangerI'd rather love to disagree14:12
wrstha ha so i have noticed, well they leave you the option to use the ubuntu classic desktop which i think is a good way to do it14:13
cyberangertrue, all it takes is ctrl alt f114:14
xTEMPLARxRESIST THE URGE CYBER14:15
wrsthello xTEMPLARx14:15
xTEMPLARxmorning14:15
cyberangeror by classic did you mean gnome14:15
wrstits all gnome but its shell-less gnome14:15
cyberangerxTEMPLARx: what urge14:15
xTEMPLARxto CTRL-ALT-F114:15
cyberangerxTEMPLARx: your about a year late14:16
cyberangerusing the terminal in general, tack on 6 more months14:16
xTEMPLARxwell a terminal is necessary14:17
* cyberanger is a CLI fan, why xorg14:18
cyberangerstartx, openbox --exit14:18
cyberangereverything I can do via CLI I will, GNU Screen plugs the gap when I gotta cross over, usually for flash (unfortunately) or dvd's14:20
wrstxTEMPLARx: for a normal user in ubuntu a terminal really isn't necessary14:20
cyberangerwrst: define normal14:22
cyberanger;-)14:23
wrstcyberanger: about 95% of all computer users normal :P14:23
wrstnot super geek that isn't normal :)14:23
cyberangerdefine 95%14:23
* cyberanger isn't gonna let this end soon14:24
wrst100-5 cyberanger :)14:25
wrstor widnows and mac users14:25
cyberangeroh, so we're counting mac and windows14:26
cyberangerin other words, users of flawed systems count14:26
wrstwell ubuntu is  flawed system also they all are14:26
xTEMPLARxblasphemy14:27
xTEMPLARxif I was oper I'd /kick14:27
* cyberanger considers that offer14:27
* cyberanger really likes it when people put money where their mouth is14:28
* cyberanger should not have encouraged that14:29
xTEMPLARxlol it won't let me invite him back14:30
cyberangerI did, he's just not joining, I guess14:30
xTEMPLARxi'm surprised I'm still connected to his quassel :D14:31
xTEMPLARxwb =]14:33
wrst:P14:33
wrstha ha14:33
wrstthanks xTEMPLARx14:33
* wrst rubbs his sore behind14:33
xTEMPLARx:D14:33
* xTEMPLARx apologizes14:33
cyberangerxTEMPLARx was suprised he was still connected to your quassel14:33
xTEMPLARxthe devil made me do it!14:33
* cyberanger apperently is the devil14:34
wrstha ha xTEMPLARx nah i won't disconnect you :)14:34
wrstactually i don't know how :)14:34
* cyberanger probally shouldn't have encouraged that14:34
xTEMPLARxi bet there's a way to do it from the CLI14:34
cyberangerouch14:34
xTEMPLARx:D14:34
xTEMPLARxit was my idea, so don't feel too bad CA14:35
xTEMPLARxu just facilitate14:35
xTEMPLARxso u weren't the devil, just his advocate14:35
wrstxTEMPLARx: actually that whole deal is through the cli i do know how to use it some :)14:35
xTEMPLARxback on topic, though, my dad's been using his linux install for like a year or two now... never once touches the CLI14:35
xTEMPLARxits funny though14:36
xTEMPLARxevery time I go over there he's got panels on all four sides of the screen14:36
xTEMPLARxsometimes multiple panels14:36
xTEMPLARxon each side that is14:36
cyberangerxTEMPLARx: devil's advocate, are you comparing me to steve jobs and Steve Ballmer14:36
wrstyeah that's the great thing about ubuntu you can be like your dad or my mom xTEMPLARx or like cyberanger14:36
cyberangerhowever it's getting harder to be like cyberanger in ways, for ubuntu14:37
xTEMPLARxyup14:37
xTEMPLARxthey're going to foil you yet!14:37
cyberangerno, just push me towards debian14:38
xTEMPLARxthey'll send u scampering back to slackware/gentoo before long14:38
cyberangeror backtrack14:38
wrstcyberanger: just use arch14:38
wrstcyberanger: if you start with a cli install isn't it all good for you from there?14:39
xTEMPLARxafk gotta put these drives back in the server box14:39
wrstfine go do work xTEMPLARx :P14:40
cyberangerwrst: from where, a cli install and done ;-)14:41
wrsteven you have to use x some14:42
wrstyou can't get all your webrosing in links surely :014:42
cyberangerI come real close14:42
wrstha ha14:43
xTEMPLARxso does unity feel like its exerting a much lighter load on the machine you're running it on?14:56
xTEMPLARxlighter than gnome that is14:56
xTEMPLARxor kde14:56
wrstsometimes windows seems lighter than kde15:00
wrstbut i can't tell a lot of difference xTEMPLARx but its really early on so hard to tell15:00
xTEMPLARxit'd be nice if it were less bulky while still fancy enough to be fun to use15:07
wrsti don't think you can really get both can you xTEMPLARx?15:15
wrstunless cyberanger has some sorta cli 3d effects :)15:16
xTEMPLARxsure u can15:16
xTEMPLARxfigure it15:16
wrsthow's that xTEMPLARx?15:16
xTEMPLARxif u start with a honda civic15:16
xTEMPLARxits all slow15:16
wrstha ha15:16
xTEMPLARxbut u can get bolt on stuff15:16
xTEMPLARxmakes it more fun15:16
xTEMPLARxmore flashy15:16
xTEMPLARxeven faster15:16
xTEMPLARxvroom!15:17
xTEMPLARxbut15:17
xTEMPLARxif u start with an indy car right outa the gate15:17
xTEMPLARxits lightweight15:17
xTEMPLARxpurpose-built15:17
xTEMPLARxbut still lots of fun15:17
wrstha ha15:17
xTEMPLARxbrb gonna try something15:19
wrstjust saw a hotmail commercial advertising "active view" now you can watch youtube videos in your inbox, i think i have been able to do that with gmail for a year or more now and even in IM windows15:19
wrstoh know what are you trying xTEMPLARx?15:20
wrst*oh no!15:20
cyberangersudo make ./measandwhich15:26
wrsthungry cyberanger?15:26
* cyberanger wonders how he knew :p15:27
cyberangeryep15:28
wrstwell i'm slow but not that slow15:28
xTEMPLARxi had a couple of spare sticks of ram, one of which is questionable15:29
xTEMPLARxbut putting them in doubles my ram15:29
xTEMPLARxso15:29
xTEMPLARxi'm gonna try it out and see if it fails :D15:29
wrstha ha cool xTEMPLARx15:30
wrstwhat are you up to now?15:30
cyberangerwrst: since I'm into sharing, and that includes file sharing, I feel it's only fair I share my sandwhich, however, I'm lazy so....15:30
wrstha ha cyberanger15:30
cyberangersudo cp ./measandwhich /home/wrst/wrst\'s-sandwhich15:31
cyberangerI had sudo do it15:32
Svpernova09Proof sandwiches require sudo: http://xkcd.com/149/15:33
xTEMPLARxrofl15:34
wrst:)15:36
cyberangerSvpernova09: it's not the sandwhich that needed it, it was the roomate refusing to make it15:36
cyberangerstill, a classic xkcd15:36
Svpernova09aye15:37
cyberangerhttp://xkcd.com/538/ and http://xkcd.com/795/ are my other favorites15:38
cyberangerI'm real big on security, I try to plug any hole, or make it too costly to break into, unfortunately rubber hose cryptnalisis proves  to  be a cheap stunt15:42
cyberangereffective too, drug him and hit him with this $5 dollar wrench http://xkcd.com/538/15:43
cyberangerthis one burns http://xkcd.com/424/15:46
cyberangerhttp://xkcd.com/225/15:48

cyberangernope, just a stallman reference in the comic16:21
Dan9186[MM]wow i've missed out on a small magazine's worth of conversation16:43
cyberangerthat and then some16:50
wrstDan9186[MM]: calling it conversation might be stretching it :)16:52
Dan9186[MM]a really long string16:54
cyberangersweet, my mirror seems to be running well, just need to get a bigger drive for it offically17:11
wrstcool cyberanger17:28
netritiousAfternoon locotn18:46
cyberangerafternoon netritious19:02
pace_t_zuluwrst: natty alpha 1 tomorrow19:09
netritioushow's it going cyberanger?19:17
netritioussup pace_t_zulu19:17
pace_t_zuluhey netritious19:17
pace_t_zuluwhat are you up to?19:17
netritiousoh you know this that and the other :D19:21
cyberangernetritious: not bad19:30
cyberangerhey pace_t_zulu19:30
netritiousWas told today that I was a close second for a systems engineer posistion...the actual hiree "is a drop-in replacement with detailed CentOS experience."19:30
cyberangerCentOS, ugh, been dealing with that alot lately, not a fan is the mild version of my opinion19:31
wrstpace_t_zulu: i'm using it with unity19:31
wrstnatty that is it is really coming along a lot faster than i thought19:31
wrstand wow netritious again ;)19:31
* cyberanger hands wrst a debian sid install, lets wrst really try unstable ;-)19:31
* wrst hands cyberanger an arch install cd and says step up to the truly unstable distro19:32
netritiousI was called back for two interviews though, so it wasn't just a brush off19:32
netritiousI'm flattered that I was considred :)19:33
netritious*considered19:33
wrstthat's cool netritious19:33
wrstdidn't realize you were looking19:33
netritiousI was contacted19:34
wrstoh that's cool19:35
wrstvery cool when someone thinks enough to call you19:35
netritiouswho can pass up an opportunity like that? :)19:35
wrstexactly cool!19:35
netritiousyeah it's all good ;)19:35
pace_t_zulusup cyberanger19:35
pace_t_zuluwrst: your running natty native.... right? because unity still doesn't work with virtualbox19:36
wrstyes pace_t_zulu, i'm guessing 3d in virtualbox?19:36
pace_t_zuluwrst: yea19:37
wrsti always struggle with that on certain hardware19:37
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: not alot, and yet a little of everything19:37
cyberanger;-)19:37
pace_t_zuluwrst: enabled 3d and rebuilt the guest additions... still no dice19:37
wrstbut its really notbad pace_t_zulu far from complete, but i lvoe the option of "ubuntu classic desktop''19:37
pace_t_zuluyeah it appears as if they are executing well19:37
netritiouscyberanger: I gave CentOS a shot before I ever tried Ubuntu last year in March, but it felt "kludgy"...kind of hard to describe it any other way19:38
netritiousI'm not knocking it though...been playing with it more over the past few weeks since the call19:38
cyberangerpast few months here19:39
wrstnetritious:  i looked at it and the packages are just soooo old but of course, for servers that may not be so bad19:39
cyberangerI just can't trust it, it's red hat with older packages19:40
cyberangerand something stale is stable, but what cost for security, I think in ways the balance is off19:40
cyberangernot to metion, I do prefer a debian based system, but I don't think that played too much of a role19:42
netritiousI have heard so many people complain about yum it's not funny19:45
wrstnetritious: want to hear one more i tried fedora once... YUM SUCKS!19:46
netritiouslol wrst19:46
wrstor is that fedora, or is it opensuse?19:46
wrstwhatever opensuse has sucks also :)19:46
netritiousfedora19:46
netritioushaha19:46
cyberangeryast19:47
cyberangeryum19:47
cyberangerapt19:47
wrstyast is worse than yum19:47

wrstgulf oil spill cyberanger?19:48

wrstran linux?19:48
cyberangerhttp://imgur.com/gallery/siGDR19:50
cyberangerall the options above beat compiling it all from source19:51
cyberangerwrst: http://imgur.com/gallery/siGDR19:51
wrstjust looked cyberanger ;)19:51
wrstcyberanger: why can't linux410 pop in when we are actually here? and say hello anyone here?19:52
cyberangerbetter question, why can't he stay and chat, east tn is in here, he's our leader, talk ;-)19:53
cyberangerwrst: isn't that good (it does assums an intelligent facebook, but I'll assume a laugh outta it either way)19:54
wrstcyberanger:  i could make room for linuxman on my server to have quassel he could be here all the time19:55
wrstif i let xTEMPLARx do it ... well you know i will let anyone in :)19:55
cyberangerthat'd be pointless if he doesn't stay to chat19:55
cyberangerat least this current way we know19:56
wrstbut he would always be here so ... yeah thats right :\19:56
wrst:)19:56
cyberangerwe're here more than not, it works for us19:56
wrstyeah good point19:57
wrstand hey i use a client that /away acutally works on cyberanger :P19:57
wrstit actually works on weechat also i noticed i can set it to away and it shows as away here19:57
cyberangeram I away or not?19:58
wrstnot away19:58
wrstnow you show as away!19:59
* wrst has no idea why he is excited19:59
cyberangerok, took a bit more than it should19:59
cyberangerbut it doesn't show me another user20:00
wrston weechat i have to type /away and somethign else like /away bed where with quassel it just takes me typing /away20:00
wrsti think ...20:00
wrstyep that did it20:00
cyberangernot seeing it20:01
pace_t_zuluwrst: fedora is yum20:01
wrstok cyberanger i will leave it there for a while20:02
wrstpace_t_zulu: i've never had any luck with fedora never seems to work with any hardware very well that i try it on without a bunch of trouble20:02
cyberangerwhere do you see it wrst20:02
cyberangermight be one of the plugins20:02
cyberangermight be one of the plugins20:03
wrstin the nick list cyberanger20:03
wrsti think i see it there in wee chat also cyberanger hangon20:03
cyberangerno, ChanServ has @ fo op, that's all I see20:03
pace_t_zuluwrst: i run it in virtualbox20:04
wrst_weechatahh it doesn't show on weechat20:04
wrstdo you like it pace_t_zulu i haven't given it much of a chance?20:04
pace_t_zuluwrst: it stays closer to upstream ...20:04
cyberangerwrst: wasn't seeing it in whois or via nickserv either20:05
pace_t_zuluwrst: it's ok... just some things are different20:05
pace_t_zuluwrst: ubuntu is still easier to work with20:05
wrstyeah pace_t_zulu i know its supposed to be a little more "bleeding" edge but i've found arch to be more bleeding and easier to use20:07
wrstyeah cyberanger i'm badly mistaken it appears... nothing new to me :)20:08
wrstcyberanger:  shellium has a real old version of weechat20:11
wrstthey run debian though right?20:11
cyberangerdebian20:12
cyberangerbut I run lucid atm20:12
wrsti am too on my server20:12
cyberanger(next year I'm gonna get this linode instance onto squeeze)20:12
wrsti have thought about using debian on my server but i really don't want to fight it and ubuntu does everything i need automagically20:13
cyberangerfight what?20:16
cyberangerI'm considering it for the fact it's a rolling release20:17
cyberangerwhy bother upgrading every 6 months for a static install, with updates the thing that changes20:18
wrstbut isn't squeeze kinda the testing sorta thing or something ?20:19
cyberangeryep20:21
cyberangerrolling20:21
cyberangerthey'll snapshot testing, for making 6.020:21
wrstjust go with arch cyberanger :)20:23
cyberangerit's also a thought, for a shell20:25
Svpernova09<3 debian But it's been a couple years since I used it.20:41
pace_t_zuluwrst: the nicest thing i know of in fedora is side by side python 2.x and 3.x20:42
wrstpace_t_zulu: yeah i got that accidently in arch :)20:44
pace_t_zuluwrst: yea that's very useful for a python dev20:44
wrstcaused most everything not to work, but it made me be a minor coder to go in and redircet all my apps to python2 :)20:44
pace_t_zuluwrst: python is fun20:45
xTEMPLARxanybody actually using python 3 yet?21:05
wrstsome things work with it xTEMPLARx as i found it in arch21:09
wrstdon't know if that is intentional or not :)21:10
xTEMPLARxlol21:26
xTEMPLARxwhen i piddled around with python, everything I read flat out said that yeah, python 3 is here, but nobody's using it so don't bother learning it.21:26
xTEMPLARxand that was a while ago21:26
netritiousxTEMPLARx! what's up mayne22:28
netritiousguess everyone out east is gone home :-/22:30
