canthus13Cheri703: run xkill, click on the window.01:59
Cheri703ok01:59
Cheri703thanks01:59
canthus13YUp.01:59
canthus13..or ps -A | grep <process>, then kill -9 <process #>02:00
canthus13killall <processname> might work, depending on how severely stuck it is.02:00
Cheri703that's a lot of steps02:01
canthus13depends.  I kill plugin-container all the time with alt-f2, killall plugin-container02:01
Cheri703hmm...ok02:02
canthus13If I'm killing a stuck program on wife's/kids' machines, I'll ssh in and do the whole ps -A | grep... thing.02:02
Cheri703ah, ok02:03
canthus13I also use it if killall <process> doesn't work.02:04
dmcglone1Who goes there?02:47

thafreakMorning Ohio15:02
Cheri703hi15:03
thafreakso, I'm behind the times, what's the difference between arch and gentoo?15:41
Cheri703*shrug* I have no idea15:42
thafreakI get how LFS is different from gentoo, as it's just a document...but is arch only really different in that it has an "installer"?15:42
thafreakHmmm...15:42
canthus13thafreak: LFS is a nightmare.16:31
canthus13But fun. :)16:32
canthus13thafreak: Oh. and were you going for the silent bob look?16:32
canthus13Arch is quite a bit different from LFS.. and Gentoo. Arch has 4 letters... Gentoo has 6.16:34
thafreakcanthus13: yes, that was probably me dressed up for halloween...I get that I look like kevin smith alot...so it was/is the easy costume18:41
canthus13Nice. :)18:48
canthus13Cheri703: How goes?18:48
Cheri703eh, all kinds of things up in the air atm, trying to reinstall network manager on desktop -_-18:49
Cheri703it's fun when there's a dependency that doesn't exist18:52
* Cheri703 now has to reinstall on desktop :(19:07
Cheri703it's dumb19:07
Cheri703and dog is at the vet getting tests, and bosses are continuing to be crappy, husband is being pissy, so today is just kind of sucky :( sorry...19:08
canthus13Cheri703: All good. I'm in and out myself.19:38
