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