[06:01] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji haz a birfday
[06:01] <Takyoji> Ye even spelled it like I have been.
[06:02] <Takyoji> I can has $10,000 Linux cluster?
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> You can haz a picture of one - http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Development/Computers/Images/ariel-full.jpg
[06:06] <tonyyarusso> That's actually a lot more than $10,000 probably.
[06:06] <Takyoji> Sun SPARC station? :P
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> I think those are amd64 systems actually.
[06:07]  * tonyyarusso looks
[06:07] <Takyoji> ahh
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> "Our fourth Linux cluster, collectively known as Ariel, consists of 72 dual-processor Xeon systems divided into three 24-node clusters."
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> $183,058.68
[06:08] <Takyoji> Yea, $10,000 probably wouldn't even be the price of a single node. :P
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> actually it would
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> SunFire V60x:  Unit cost $1,997.50
[06:10] <tonyyarusso> $10,000 buys a LOT of horsepower.
[06:54] <Takyoji> Didn't Broadcom release the source code of their drivers like half a year ago?
[06:55] <Takyoji> In September apparently
[06:55] <Takyoji> http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/09/09/1925214/Broadcom-Releases-Source-Code-For-Drivers
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> yeah
[06:55] <Takyoji> and I wonder why Ubuntu still only has the NDISWrapper drivers yet
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> FeatureFreeze
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> also, upstream kernel
[06:58] <Takyoji> Anything hopefully in 11.04?
[06:59] <Takyoji> also that one friend is having USB issues again
[06:59] <Takyoji> As I've said on #ubuntu-bugs:
[06:59] <Takyoji> (12:29:54 AM) Takyoji: Friend has laptop with XP and Ubuntu 10.10; USB worked fine on both in the past. But recently (within the past few months) stops working in Ubuntu after booting XP. The only way to make it work again, was apparently booting an older version of Linux, which just magically worked, and which made it work under the most recent kernel as well again. Would this be a bug worth reporting; and/or any method of p
[06:59] <Takyoji> (12:35:27 AM) Takyoji: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551398/
[20:19] <Takyoji> I would have to agree something like Wayland would be needed.
[20:20] <Takyoji> The lack of hotpluggability of some things in X11 is annoying
[20:20] <Takyoji> Such as for a keyboard;
[20:20] <Takyoji> Can't just reconnect; you have to fully reboot
[20:20] <Takyoji> (or restart X)
[20:20] <Takyoji> in my case
[20:23] <ColinHarrington> Yea, I agree that its needed.
[20:23] <Takyoji> Friend just got a Wacom tabley
[20:23] <Takyoji> tablet*
[20:24] <Takyoji> and due to the nature of X11, it's not hotpluggable.
[20:24] <ColinHarrington> Take the NotifyOSD for example.  Its really nice that they built this in, but it needs more options.  Other notifiers before it had some better options.
[20:24] <ColinHarrington> That sucks.
[20:24] <Takyoji> As workaround, you can jump between virtual terminals to make it work
[20:25] <Takyoji> in other words, Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F7
[20:25] <ColinHarrington> yea
[20:27] <Takyoji> but at the same time, I just realized that USB devices won't work for them.
[20:27] <Takyoji> Because for some reason their USB bus doesn't fully initialize a USB device due to an issue, which arises when XP is booted prior
[20:31] <Takyoji> and they also have a broken package manager right now as well. xP
[20:31] <Takyoji> and the only way to fix it is via terminal
[21:30] <Takyoji> Just found this: http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis-St.Paul
[22:05] <rlaager> Takyoji: It looks like the Broadcom code might have been merged in 2.6.37 (unless that was some other Broadcom support), so it should show up in Natty.
[22:05] <ColinHarrington> I hope so.
[22:05] <ColinHarrington> Is it stable yet?
[22:06] <ColinHarrington> I used it for a while (a while ago) and it caused lockups, so I ditched next time I updated my Kernel
[22:06] <ColinHarrington> It worked well (minus the lockups)
[22:20] <Takyoji> and I think my GRUB menu hasn't been updated at all
[22:21] <Takyoji> since it never grows
[22:21] <Takyoji> and I'm apparently running 2.6.35-19
[22:21] <Takyoji> while a friend is apparently running 2.6.35-24
