| elky | yep, no problem with that | 00:53 |
|---|---|---|
| elky | the dimension ratios will be different, but svg stretches, you just need to play. also, you'll need to re-do the dots for a poster | 00:54 |
| head_victim | Most of the stuff I was going to print off spreadubuntu is non specific to the team, more just Ubuntu promotional but that would make a good centre piece to tie it all together. | 00:54 |
| elky | head_victim, i'll stretch it out tonight if you don't figure how inkscape works before then | 01:29 |
| head_victim | elky: thanks I'm j hust heading off to work | 01:36 |
| head_victim | I was going to have a play later on if you don't get to it beforehand | 01:36 |
| sagaci | hey #-au, i'm looking to install the desktop version of ubuntu with all the bells and whistles of a desktop but then somehow tell it not to run gnome/X on startup, rather wanting to manually type startx if I want a GUI, any half-easy way of accomplishing it? | 12:00 |
| Blank__ | sagaci, there is probably a way to do it, but I don't know - it would probably have something to do with rc.d scripts | 12:14 |
| gggs | sagaci: You'll probably need to disable gdm | 12:16 |
| sagaci | it's just that i've tried doing it via installing the server version and then installung ubuntu-desktop and there was a lot of things I had to add to match the functionality of an ubuntu-desktop.iso install | 12:19 |
| gggs | If you disable/remove gdm it should boot to cli | 12:20 |
| sagaci | yeah i'll try that tomorrow | 12:20 |
| gggs | I used to do that with an old laptop, X took a while to start. If boot time is an issue though, you could probably use xfce/etc | 12:23 |
| sagaci | meh, kind of. But if I have a DE, I want it to be usable and decent to look at | 12:33 |
| gggs | sagaci: What sort of system is it? | 12:38 |
| sagaci | desktop, everyday use computer | 12:41 |
| sagaci | but I find myself using cli things like irssi, mplayer, lynx, etc | 12:41 |
| nisshh | sagaci, use the ubuntu minimal iso, it leaves you in terminal and you can install gnome/x/kde/whatever only if you want to | 12:41 |
| sagaci | nisshh: yeah, but then you have to manually configure and set up sound, etc. Correct? | 12:43 |
| nisshh | sagaci, possibly yeah, or you could do what i do and install stock ubuntu and just use 6 terminals :) | 12:43 |
| sagaci | in the future when there's a metapackage for all sound devices, I'll go sudo apt-get install sound | 12:43 |
| sagaci | but then you have the increased boot time, nisshh | 12:44 |
| nisshh | true | 12:45 |
| nisshh | but i leave my pc on for like 5+ days, so i dont reboot that often | 12:45 |
| gggs | I suspend my laptop, it boots in < 5 sec | 12:50 |
| gggs | might do a full shutdown once a week or two after updates | 12:50 |
| nisshh | gggs, you mean it resumes, not boots | 12:54 |
| nisshh | :) | 12:54 |
| gggs | nisshh: you're right | 12:56 |
| nisshh | heh | 12:56 |
| nisshh | im always right :) | 12:56 |
| nisshh | heh, just kidding | 12:56 |
| gggs | habit | 13:00 |
| nisshh | heh | 13:00 |
| gggs | I'm always right too. | 13:06 |
| nisshh | lol | 13:08 |
| gggs | if we're both right then propositional logic must be wrong, including the logic I used to determine that | 13:10 |
| nisshh | lol | 13:12 |
