[02:04] <Nivex> how the... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/619754
[02:04] <Nivex> If I had known about this I would NOT have upgraded
[02:05] <Nivex> this makes irssi an order of magnitude more difficult to use
[02:14] <holstein> 10.04 FTW :)
[02:26] <BugeyeD> any asterisk weenies here?
[02:35] <Nivex> holstein: I thought about staying, but there were other enhancements calling my name
[02:35] <Nivex> I installed konsole to get around the problem for now
[02:35] <Nivex> BugeyeD: define "weenies"
[02:36] <holstein> lxterminal is nice too
[02:46] <Nivex> holstein: but lxterminal also uses vte and thus exhibits the same problem
[03:05] <BugeyeD> Nivex: alright, fine, asterisk admins. :)
[03:06] <BugeyeD> i'm just getting started with it, and was playing with what was recommended to me - the asterixnow distro which includes freepbx.
[03:07] <BugeyeD> my base question is whether freepbx actually provides anything other than a gui front-end for asterisk. so far everything (which is not much) i've gotten to work has been done from the command-line without freepbx.
[03:07] <BugeyeD> if i don't actually need freepbx, i'll just install another instance of ubuntu and apt-get asterisk.
[03:16] <Nivex> I run mine on Debian and hand compile it.  The packages in the distro are hopelessly out of date.
[03:23] <BugeyeD> Nivex: do you just use asterisk and its config files, or freepbx or other front-end? i can't tell from the website whether freepbx is supposed to provide anything other than visual distraction.
[03:24] <Nivex> straight up asterisk and configs.
[03:24] <Nivex> if you walk in to #asterisk and ask questions about freepbx, they tell you to go away
[03:25] <BugeyeD> as i suspected, and hoped. thanks! i'm ditching this centos thing tomorrow then. yum, indeed.
[03:26] <holstein> Nivex: of course... i didnt think about that
