wrstgood morning everyone12:57
wrstwb chris458514:01
chris4585thanks wrst14:05
chris4585had to 'unplug' the internet temporarily or squeeze the tubes for as much as i could get without getting cut off :)14:06
wrstha ha chris458514:12
wrstyou still running satellite internet?14:12
Xpistosmorning all14:12
Xpistoswrst14:12
wrstXpistos: what's shaking?14:13
Xpistoshopefully not much today14:19
chris4585yes14:21
wrstmy first day at work since wed of last week14:21
wrsti would love to have some other internet option chris4585 but just haven't found a good one yet14:21
chris4585I'd like to just have cable regardless of who provides it14:22
wrsti have very slow and expensive dsl14:23
chris4585I remember when I thought dsl was the shizz lol, I didn't realize back then how much I'd rather of had cable, oh well14:27
chris4585I've found a way to manage14:27
wrstour dsl is stable but that's about all i can say the price is crazy14:27
chris4585I'd like stable, I mean satellite is stable but.. I have to continually work around downloads and when to download them, anything more than a 2mb jpg I have to think twice about14:28
chris4585our satellite is about $90/mo also14:29
chris4585I'd love to start a download and come back without worrying "will I have decent internet tomorrow if I download this now?"14:29

wrsthello Worldspice_Will15:11
Worldspice_Willhey, what's up?15:11
wrstputting in my one day at work this week, how are you?15:12
Worldspice_Willi'm putting in 40 solid hours, i just started this job, can't be perceived as slacking. :)15:13
wrstha ha Worldspice_Will it wouldn't be just perceived in my case :)15:14
Worldspice_Willi came in early today to arrange and decorate my office. now in dire need of some sort of breakfast pastry.15:16
wrstha ha i love me some breakfast pasteries15:16
Xpistosnah, I can only eat cheese danis16:21
Xpistosor danish rather16:22
Xpistosor donuts16:22
XpistosI like breakfast burritos16:22
wrstthose are good too Xpistos :)16:24
* Xpistos wishes he had a breakfast burrito right now!16:24
wrstme too or even a lunch burrito16:26
chris4585wrst, I'm not sure if you got that last bit before I disconnected16:40
wrstoh i think it was idle chatter about breakfast pasteries chris4585 :)16:43
chris4585ah well I said.. I'd like stable, I mean satellite is stable but.. I have to continually work around downloads and when to download them, anything more than a 2mb jpg I have to think twice about, our satellite is about $90/mo also16:45
pace_t_zuluwrst ping16:45
chris4585I'd love to start a download and come back without worrying "will I have decent internet tomorrow if I download this now?"16:45
Worldspice_WillWhole foods is right next door to my employer. the bakery calls me daily. :)  I need fuel because I need to learn SNMP and Nagios asap.16:47
Worldspice_WillI think I'm going to upgrade to Comcast Business at home. I really need the static ip16:48
wrstpace_t_zulu: pong16:48
pace_t_zuluwrst: unity works in virtualbox now ... virtualbox 4.016:48
wrsti have a static ip Worldspice_Will one of the things i do like about my current setup16:48
wrstpace_t_zulu: i need to try it again, last kernel upgrade made it unuseable i may brab the daily build16:49
pace_t_zuluwrst: i got tired of reinstalling16:49
pace_t_zuluwrst: its quicker to chroot from a live cd ... if you can do that16:49
pace_t_zuluit's a pretty cool technique16:49
wrsti have also so that's why i've given it a couple weeks16:49
* wrst adds that to list of things he needs to figure out16:50
Worldspice_WillComcast Business is $75/mo for 12/2 Mbps and a static IP.16:51
wrstWorldspice_Will: i'm out 79 bukcs for dsl and phone16:51
wrstcomcast is not available to me or any thing else really16:52
chris4585chroot is awesome, not being aware of the power of chroot is like not knowing what food is like16:52
wrstwell chris4585 i like to eat so i guess i need to figure it out :)16:53
* chris4585 nods16:53
Worldspice_WillI actually work for an ISP now, perhaps I should see if we have an employee discount :)17:01
pace_t_zuluwrst i've done it a few times... it isn't too hard to figure out17:08
wrsti might check that out tonight i want to get it back to running17:09
pace_t_zuluwrst: basically you want to boot to the live cd17:09
pace_t_zuluthen you mount the '/' partition for your install17:09
pace_t_zuluif the '/' partition is at /dev/sda1 you'd do it like this17:10
pace_t_zulumkdir /mnt/sda117:10
pace_t_zulumount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda117:10
pace_t_zuluchroot /mnt/sda117:10
pace_t_zuluchris4585: does that look about right to you?17:11
wrstok i think i can do all that without issue17:11
chris4585pace_t_zulu, yep17:11
pace_t_zuluwrst: unity is definitely not as responsive gnome17:11
pace_t_zuluwrst: but they have plenty time to optimize17:12
wrstyeah i have been having issues with 10.10, so i have been using arch lately17:12
wrstwish i had stayed with 10.0417:12
chris4585wrst, pretty much once you run the chroot /mnt/sda1 command, it will allow you to run a terminal as if you were running off the mounted partition... if that makes sense17:12
wrstyes that does17:13
* wrst is amazed but that does make sense17:13
chris4585then just exit to get back to normal17:13
wrstthat's easy enough!17:13
pace_t_zuluwrst: what kind of problems have you been having with 10.10?17:27
pace_t_zuluWorldspice_Will: congratulations on the new job17:28
Worldspice_Willpace_t_zulu, thanks, i'm thrilled and blessed17:28
wrstslowness pace_t_zulu17:44
wrstespecially using virtual box17:44
pace_t_zuluwrst: i like unity20:34
pace_t_zuluwrst: like you said... unfinished - but i like where it's going20:35
vychunehello20:35
wrstcyberanger, pace_t_zulu  i may need your help with a screwup20:49
pace_t_zuluwrst: what's the problem?20:58
wrstwell i was trying to do a good deed and approve a new member on my phone and i declined them21:05
wrsti sent the user an email anything else i can do?21:05
wrstor that you or cyberanger can do?21:05
chris4585I can't wait for unity to be finished21:06
chris4585I'd like to see the ability to put gadgets and what not on unity somewhere21:06
wrstchris4585: yes and the ability to move the dock chris458521:14
chris4585yeah, I'm not really fond of the whole thing on the left but whatever21:14
wrstyeah me either21:15
wrstseems a little silly21:15
chris4585personally... I think the dock should be optional or module, I'd much rather use awn21:15
chris4585awn + dockbarx is leetness....21:15
pace_t_zuluwrst: why did you deny that owens346 guy?22:45
pace_t_zuluwrst: i should have read up22:54
pace_t_zulupleia2: ping22:54
pace_t_zulupleia2: we accidentally declined a request for membership ... is there a way to retroactively approve on launchpad?22:55
pleia2pace_t_zulu: on the team's main LP page there is an "Add member" link22:56
pleia2you can just add them that way22:56
pace_t_zuludone22:56
pace_t_zuluthanks pleia2 :)22:56
pleia2sure22:56
pace_t_zuluwrst: sorted out that owens346 request ... is a member now22:57
wrstpace_t_zulu: thank you very very much23:03
wrstpleia2: thanks! for helping pace_t_zulu  fixe my screw up23:03
pleia2no problem, that's why I'm here :)23:04
pace_t_zuluwrst: no problem... you are very much on top of approving new members - we can excuse a mistake from time to time ;)23:04
pace_t_zuluwrst: that's why we're a team23:04
wrstha ha and a darn good team pace_t_zulu  :)23:04
pace_t_zului am emailing the guy to explain23:04
wrstok i sent him a message also pace_t_zulu  that would be great23:05
