dmcglone1anyone know why gwibber adds the word "is" before my posts?00:20
dmcglone1I'm freakin lazy!!00:58
Cheri703energy efficient00:58
Cheri703not lazy00:58
dmcglone1lol00:58
dmcglone1I've been sitting here for at least 2 hours telling myself I need to open up kate and write some code and I can't even bring myself to do that!00:59
* dmcglone1 is wondering why something always has to go wrong01:20
dmcglone1I swear I've got to find another desktop02:55
Unit193Don't like KDE?02:55
dmcglone1I'm using Gnome at the moment02:55
dmcglone1KDE is Ok but it's just as freakin annoying02:56
Unit193fluxbox :)02:56
dmcglone1my facebook account quit working in pidgin so I tried re-creating the account and It popped up a captcha to connect and I put the captcha in like 20 darn times and it still pops up and will not let me connect02:57
Unit193the fb pidgin status plugin?02:58
dmcglone1I have never in my 13 or so years of using linux seen such instability in Linux02:58
dmcglone1I guess02:58
dmcglone1Haha, now it works.02:59
dmcglone1how pathetic02:59
dmcglone1but I'll give it a good 10 minutes and it'll be broken again03:00
dmcglone1hell it's done already03:00
Unit193Is it just you?03:00
dmcglone1I don't know03:01
dmcglone1I don't know anyone else that uses it03:01
dmcglone1Could not authenticate captcha.  Logging into the Facebook website may fix this.03:02
dmcglone1Looks like I have to log in to facebook03:02
Unit193I don't like doing that... :D03:03
dmcglone1this is pathetic03:05
dmcglone1I'd be better off running windows anymore!03:05
dmcglone1my fuse with linux is getting really really short anymore.03:06
Unit193I'd like to see how long that would last.... I really hate the newer ones....03:07
dmcglone1well looks like I've gotta log into facebook using the web03:08
dmcglone1I am so freakin pissed at linux right now it's not funny03:08
dmcglone1now it worked03:09
dmcglone1and in 503:09
dmcglone1403:09
dmcglone1303:09
dmcglone1203:09
dmcglone1103:09
dmcglone1aint broke yet03:09
dmcglone1603:09
dmcglone1503:09
dmcglone1403:09
dmcglone1303:09
dmcglone1203:09
dmcglone1103:09
dmcglone1still working03:09
Unit193You can get VERY mad at any OS....03:09
dmcglone1<knocking on wood>03:09
dmcglone1true, but here lately Ubuntu has been so unbelievably unstable03:10
dmcglone1and KDE 4 is still in the crapper03:11
Unit193I thinking of switching off KDE....03:11
dmcglone1I tried if for 2 weeks.03:11
dmcglone1ahhhhhhhhh broke again03:11
dmcglone1pathetic03:11
Unit193Try another one in VM and see if it has issues too03:12
dmcglone1my buddy list quit again, I tried to reconnect and no captcha but also no contacts03:13
dmcglone1I'm gonna try kopete03:14
dmcglone1it's pitiful I have been using Gnome for about 1 or 2 years now and I am slowly finding that I have to use mostly KDE apps. So far I've got to use Kate, because gedit is crap, I have to use Kontact because Evolution is crap, I use K3B because brasero is crap03:17
Unit193I really like K3B...03:17
dmcglone1so far the only long term GTK app I have used it Gimp!!!!03:17
dmcglone1I'm in the process of setting up kopete and I just found out you cannot modify and account you have to delete it and create a new one03:27
Unit193That really stinks... you can't even modify the pass??03:28
dmcglone1No03:29
dmcglone1I tried 3 times and each time had to delete the whole account and start fresh03:30
dmcglone1but so far I've got facebook working in Kopete03:30
dmcglone1I don't know if kopete supports IRC03:31
dmcglone1SHIT!03:31
dmcglone1I don't see it in the accounts dialog03:31
canthus13Meh. Irssi for irc.03:31
dmcglone1I don't see that canthus1303:32
canthus13irssi? It's an IRC client.03:32
dmcglone1Oh. I thought you said it was in kkopete03:33
canthus13Oh. no. silly. you don't IRC with an IM client.  that's like driving cross-country in a yugo.03:33
canthus13http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi03:35
dmcglone1I like driving cross country in a yugo, better gas milage03:36
dmcglone1lol03:36
dmcglone1so looks like i'm screwed going the kopete way, the IRC plugin for kopete is broken since 2008!!!!03:38
dmcglone1all this shows exactly my frustration03:38
dmcglone1I switched to using the XMPP plugin instead of the facebook plugin and it seems to work03:57
dmcglone1so far so good so what? (Slayer!)04:02
dmcglone1g'night everyone04:14
Unit193Can you have grub redetect what OSes are installed? (Multi HDD)04:22
Cheri703update grub04:22
Cheri703or something to that effect04:22
Unit193Just set-up SSH on the Lubuntu/Game computer, I LOVE it!04:22
Cheri703heh, awesome04:23
Cheri703playing with ssh -X?04:23
Unit193Not yet...04:24
Cheri703how is the new processor? any noticeable difference yet?04:24
canthus13You've JUST discovered SSH?04:24
canthus13Hehe.04:24
canthus13Unit193: The first thing to do is learn to use screen.04:24
Cheri703canthus13: that's on my list04:25
Unit193canthus13: Never used SSH in linux :D04:25
Cheri703I've heard about it peripherally, but not actually figured out how to use it04:25
Unit193Cheri703: Very much so04:25
Cheri703glad to hear it :)04:25
canthus13Unit193: *THE* reason for ssh, irssi, and screen:  http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi04:25
Cheri703it was good that you gave cash! I had forgotten my wallet at home. it's a bummer because I wasn't able to get the good cold meds04:25
canthus13I keep irssi running on my server 24/7 inside a screen session, and I pick it up from wherever I have access to a computer.04:26
Cheri703canthus13: that appeals to me, but I poked at irssi once and I didn't like it :/04:26
canthus13Cheri703: It takes a little getting used to, but give it a week and you'll love it. :)04:26
Cheri703hmm...we'll see04:27
canthus13The other option is a ZNC/BNC, or Quassel. those are a pain in the butt.04:27
Cheri703I have enough trouble skimming the scrollback in many of my channels when I only have it on the netbook! I can't imagine when/if it was running 24/704:27
canthus13Cheri703: Split screens, highlights.  I have a window at the top that catches my highlights.04:28
Cheri703nice, I have the highlights for my nick, but...eh04:28
canthus13Cheri703: like this:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/94504880@N00/5141644024/04:28
Cheri703I still like to catch up04:28
Cheri703hmm...k04:29
canthus13(I've got extra splits there so I can monitor my web server's vitals and keep an eye on a MUD that I've been on for years)04:30
Cheri703mud?04:31
canthus13a text version of an MMO.04:34
Cheri703ah04:34
Unit193Don't think I could get the hang of irssi.... but screen is nice06:17
canthus13Unit193: I didn't either at first...06:18
Unit193I would have to figure out how to change settings....06:19
canthus13the config file is pretty straightforward, and there are tons of tutorials.06:20
