[00:20] anyone know why gwibber adds the word "is" before my posts? [00:58] I'm freakin lazy!! [00:58] energy efficient [00:58] not lazy [00:58] lol [00:59] I'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! [01:20] * dmcglone1 is wondering why something always has to go wrong [02:55] I swear I've got to find another desktop [02:55] Don't like KDE? [02:55] I'm using Gnome at the moment [02:56] KDE is Ok but it's just as freakin annoying [02:56] fluxbox :) [02:57] my 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 connect [02:58] the fb pidgin status plugin? [02:58] I have never in my 13 or so years of using linux seen such instability in Linux [02:58] I guess [02:59] Haha, now it works. [02:59] how pathetic [03:00] but I'll give it a good 10 minutes and it'll be broken again [03:00] hell it's done already [03:00] Is it just you? [03:01] I don't know [03:01] I don't know anyone else that uses it [03:02] Could not authenticate captcha. Logging into the Facebook website may fix this. [03:02] Looks like I have to log in to facebook [03:03] I don't like doing that... :D [03:05] this is pathetic [03:05] I'd be better off running windows anymore! [03:06] my fuse with linux is getting really really short anymore. [03:07] I'd like to see how long that would last.... I really hate the newer ones.... [03:08] well looks like I've gotta log into facebook using the web [03:08] I am so freakin pissed at linux right now it's not funny [03:09] now it worked [03:09] and in 5 [03:09] 4 [03:09] 3 [03:09] 2 [03:09] 1 [03:09] aint broke yet [03:09] 6 [03:09] 5 [03:09] 4 [03:09] 3 [03:09] 2 [03:09] 1 [03:09] still working [03:09] You can get VERY mad at any OS.... [03:09] [03:10] true, but here lately Ubuntu has been so unbelievably unstable [03:11] and KDE 4 is still in the crapper [03:11] I thinking of switching off KDE.... [03:11] I tried if for 2 weeks. [03:11] ahhhhhhhhh broke again [03:11] pathetic [03:12] Try another one in VM and see if it has issues too [03:13] my buddy list quit again, I tried to reconnect and no captcha but also no contacts [03:14] I'm gonna try kopete [03:17] it'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 crap [03:17] I really like K3B... [03:17] so far the only long term GTK app I have used it Gimp!!!! [03:27] I'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 one [03:28] That really stinks... you can't even modify the pass?? [03:29] No [03:30] I tried 3 times and each time had to delete the whole account and start fresh [03:30] but so far I've got facebook working in Kopete [03:31] I don't know if kopete supports IRC [03:31] SHIT! [03:31] I don't see it in the accounts dialog [03:31] Meh. Irssi for irc. [03:32] I don't see that canthus13 [03:32] irssi? It's an IRC client. [03:33] Oh. I thought you said it was in kkopete [03:33] Oh. no. silly. you don't IRC with an IM client. that's like driving cross-country in a yugo. [03:35] http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [03:36] I like driving cross country in a yugo, better gas milage [03:36] lol [03:38] so looks like i'm screwed going the kopete way, the IRC plugin for kopete is broken since 2008!!!! [03:38] all this shows exactly my frustration [03:57] I switched to using the XMPP plugin instead of the facebook plugin and it seems to work [04:02] so far so good so what? (Slayer!) [04:14] g'night everyone [04:22] Can you have grub redetect what OSes are installed? (Multi HDD) [04:22] update grub [04:22] or something to that effect [04:22] Just set-up SSH on the Lubuntu/Game computer, I LOVE it! [04:23] heh, awesome [04:23] playing with ssh -X? [04:24] Not yet... [04:24] how is the new processor? any noticeable difference yet? [04:24] You've JUST discovered SSH? [04:24] Hehe. [04:24] Unit193: The first thing to do is learn to use screen. [04:25] canthus13: that's on my list [04:25] canthus13: Never used SSH in linux :D [04:25] I've heard about it peripherally, but not actually figured out how to use it [04:25] Cheri703: Very much so [04:25] glad to hear it :) [04:25] Unit193: *THE* reason for ssh, irssi, and screen: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [04:25] it 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 meds [04:26] I 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] canthus13: that appeals to me, but I poked at irssi once and I didn't like it :/ [04:26] Cheri703: It takes a little getting used to, but give it a week and you'll love it. :) [04:27] hmm...we'll see [04:27] The other option is a ZNC/BNC, or Quassel. those are a pain in the butt. [04:27] I 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 24/7 [04:28] Cheri703: Split screens, highlights. I have a window at the top that catches my highlights. [04:28] nice, I have the highlights for my nick, but...eh [04:28] Cheri703: like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/94504880@N00/5141644024/ [04:28] I still like to catch up [04:29] hmm...k [04:30] (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) [04:31] mud? [04:34] a text version of an MMO. [04:34] ah [06:17] Don't think I could get the hang of irssi.... but screen is nice [06:18] Unit193: I didn't either at first... [06:19] I would have to figure out how to change settings.... [06:20] the config file is pretty straightforward, and there are tons of tutorials.
