[00:53] yep, no problem with that [00:54] 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] 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] head_victim, i'll stretch it out tonight if you don't figure how inkscape works before then [01:36] elky: thanks I'm j hust heading off to work [01:36] I was going to have a play later on if you don't get to it beforehand [12:00] 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] 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] sagaci: You'll probably need to disable gdm [12:19] 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] If you disable/remove gdm it should boot to cli [12:20] yeah i'll try that tomorrow [12:23] 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] meh, kind of. But if I have a DE, I want it to be usable and decent to look at [12:38] sagaci: What sort of system is it? [12:41] desktop, everyday use computer [12:41] but I find myself using cli things like irssi, mplayer, lynx, etc [12:41] 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] nisshh: yeah, but then you have to manually configure and set up sound, etc. Correct? [12:43] sagaci, possibly yeah, or you could do what i do and install stock ubuntu and just use 6 terminals :) [12:43] in the future when there's a metapackage for all sound devices, I'll go sudo apt-get install sound [12:44] but then you have the increased boot time, nisshh [12:45] true [12:45] but i leave my pc on for like 5+ days, so i dont reboot that often [12:50] I suspend my laptop, it boots in < 5 sec [12:50] might do a full shutdown once a week or two after updates [12:54] gggs, you mean it resumes, not boots [12:54] :) [12:56] nisshh: you're right [12:56] heh [12:56] im always right :) [12:56] heh, just kidding [13:00] habit [13:00] heh [13:06] I'm always right too. [13:08] lol [13:10] if we're both right then propositional logic must be wrong, including the logic I used to determine that [13:12] lol
