[00:53] <elky> yep, no problem with that
[00:54] <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.
[01:29] <elky> head_victim, i'll stretch it out tonight if you don't figure how inkscape works before then
[01:36] <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
[12:00] <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?
[12:14] <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
[12:16] <gggs> sagaci: You'll probably need to disable gdm
[12:19] <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
[12:20] <gggs> If you disable/remove gdm it should boot to cli
[12:20] <sagaci> yeah i'll try that tomorrow
[12:23] <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
[12:33] <sagaci> meh, kind of. But if I have a DE, I want it to be usable and decent to look at
[12:38] <gggs> sagaci: What sort of system is it?
[12:41] <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
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <sagaci> but then you have the increased boot time, nisshh 
[12:45] <nisshh> true
[12:45] <nisshh> but i leave my pc on for like 5+ days, so i dont reboot that often
[12:50] <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
[12:54] <nisshh> gggs, you mean it resumes, not boots
[12:54] <nisshh> :)
[12:56] <gggs> nisshh: you're right
[12:56] <nisshh> heh
[12:56] <nisshh> im always right :)
[12:56] <nisshh> heh, just kidding
[13:00] <gggs> habit
[13:00] <nisshh> heh
[13:06] <gggs> I'm always right too.
[13:08] <nisshh> lol
[13:10] <gggs> if we're both right then propositional logic must be wrong, including the logic I used to determine that
[13:12] <nisshh> lol
