| robho-neo | hey guys | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| robho-neo | anyone on that typically attends the Akron Ubuntu Hour? Have a co-worker that is interested in coming, but wants to make sure his drive is worth it | 00:01 |
| Cheri703 | I go to the mansfield one :) | 00:01 |
| robho-neo | we're just trying to get a feel for what goes on at the meeting | 00:02 |
| robho-neo | We're discussing going to the one next week, we're both going to the NEOISF meeting in Independence tomorrow night | 00:03 |
| robho-neo | brb | 00:03 |
| robho-neo | back for a few | 00:18 |
| robho-neo | Cheri, what do you folks do at the Mansfield Hour? | 00:19 |
| Cheri703 | we just hang out and chat, various stuff, sometimes ubuntu, sometimes computers in general, if someone has a question or issue we'll help out. we're a SMALL group right now | 00:24 |
| TheErk | Greetings programs! | 00:54 |
| Unit193 | Hey TheErk! | 00:57 |
| TheErk | Hello Unit193 . How are you functioning? | 01:03 |
| Cheri703 | TheErk: how's things? | 01:03 |
| Unit193 | TheErk: Not bad, playing a game... | 01:04 |
| robho-neo | hey TheErk Unit193 Cheri703 | 01:07 |
| robho-neo | I did some digging on the ubuntu forums about the issue we were chatting about last night | 01:07 |
| Cheri703 | yeah? | 01:08 |
| robho-neo | two common fixes I've seen have been to use Ionice and WICD | 01:08 |
| robho-neo | thoughts? | 01:09 |
| Cheri703 | no clue | 01:10 |
| robho-neo | I was going to give it a go tonight when I get home from work, but have no idea what either of those do exactly (haven't had time to research it deeply) | 01:10 |
| Unit193 | How did the LiveCD go? | 01:14 |
| robho-neo | Haven't had a chance to do that either | 01:17 |
| robho-neo | crummy work schedule is crummy | 01:17 |
| robho-neo | going to give that a go tonight as a matter of fact | 01:17 |
| robho-neo | something else I remembered after I logged off last night was: When performing a large file operation (like copying say, 10GB of data from an external HDD) the entire system slows to a crawl, is that normal? | 01:18 |
| robho-neo | that has happened on numerous fresh installs since 9.04 | 01:18 |
| robho-neo | I'll touch base with you folks in an hour or so, leaving work now. | 01:29 |
| Cheri703 | I'm going to be messing with partitions on my computer tonight...should be interesting... | 01:46 |
| TheErk | remove them | 01:46 |
| TheErk | you don't need em | 01:46 |
| TheErk | rm -vf * | 01:46 |
| TheErk | Fixes any issue | 01:46 |
| Cheri703 | ha, no | 01:47 |
| Cheri703 | going to dual boot with 10.10 | 01:48 |
| TheErk | 10.10 and what? | 01:49 |
| Cheri703 | 10.04 | 01:51 |
| Cheri703 | I use 10.04 generally, but need to familiarize myself with 10.10, as I'm going to be training some people, want to dual-boot because previously, when using 10.10, I had issues, so am being cautious | 01:52 |
| Unit193 | Dang finch! | 01:53 |
| dmcglone | Hello | 03:01 |
| Cheri703 | ah, 10.10 | 03:04 |
| * canthus13 just got a 500GB hd for his lappy today... may install 10.10 to see how badly it breaks... | 03:07 | |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I made a separate partition for it, so we'll see how it goes | 03:09 |
| dmcglone | I'm trying to reserve the library room and it will not let me because I'm using firefox.. Dang it!!! | 03:14 |
| BiosElement | Fail | 03:17 |
| BiosElement | Reminds me, T-Mobile's site doesn't support "Safari"...it's chrome, not safari. :P | 03:17 |
| BiosElement | Yay for lame devs | 03:17 |
| canthus13 | Doesn't support webkit. | 03:18 |
| canthus13 | silly. | 03:18 |
| BiosElement | Yes, very. | 03:19 |
| BiosElement | I fired up konqueror, disabled the browserid and it worked fine :P | 03:20 |
| dmcglone | Well not only is the site giving me fits, I also forgot my library pin # | 03:20 |
| dmcglone | BiosElement: it all works until you go to register the room, then it fails | 03:21 |
| BiosElement | Fun fun | 03:21 |
| canthus13 | Hmm.. mebbe I'll install Debian with my new drive instead... | 03:22 |
| dmcglone | have fun with that | 03:22 |
| canthus13 | dmcglone: From what I've been reading, 10.04 and up have issues with the broadcom STA drivers. I really don't want to deal with that. | 03:22 |
| dmcglone | I don't blame you | 03:23 |
| dmcglone | Ok I'm out. Catch you all tomorrow hopefully | 03:44 |

| robho-neo | afternoon folks | 19:16 |
| robho-neo | anyone have a sec to field a question? | 19:17 |
| BiosElement | Just ask it, it'll be quicker. ^_^ | 19:18 |
| robho-neo | lol right on | 19:18 |
| robho-neo | picked up a Linksys E3000 router (my netgear bit it last night after I got home) | 19:18 |
| robho-neo | and here's my question: My board k9n2gm-fd supports Gig ethernet, the e3000 supports gig ethernet, but I can't figure out how to enable it in Ubuntu 10.10 | 19:18 |
| BiosElement | I'm clueless however, did find this. Not sure how helpful it is. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143982 | 19:20 |
| robho-neo | my google-fu has been iffy today, lol | 19:20 |
| robho-neo | so it appears that all that is really needed is to change the MTU for the NIC to accept "jumbo frames" | 19:22 |
| BiosElement | Seems so. Again I claim ignorence heh | 19:23 |
| robho-neo | me too, that's why I came here to ask | 19:23 |
| robho-neo | perhaps I should hop into the Ubuntu support IRC to be safe, lol | 19:23 |
| BiosElement | They might be more helpful | 19:24 |
| BiosElement | Most of the intelligent folks around here are off at work :P | 19:25 |
| robho-neo | yeah, I have the day off, lol | 19:25 |
| robho-neo | aight, well, thanks Bios | 19:25 |
| robho-neo | wanna get this stuff up and running real soon so I can play some WoW before I head off to the NEOISF meeting | 19:25 |
| robho-neo | thanks for the hel | 19:25 |
| robho-neo | help* | 19:25 |
| BiosElement | Yep. ^_^ | 19:26 |
| thafreak | Finally! I installed the block domains extension in chrome...now I can prevent experts-exchange from showing up in search results! | 21:49 |
| Cheri703 | heh | 21:51 |
| BiosElement | LOL thafreak | 21:54 |
| BiosElement | That's the FIRST site I added | 21:54 |
| BiosElement | Next was scribd | 21:55 |
| thafreak | seriously, why bother showing it to me in results if I can only see the info if I pay $ | 22:02 |
| thafreak | mega dumb | 22:02 |
| BiosElement | Because some people will pay | 22:02 |
| thafreak | canthus13: hey, I got my pogoplug...I think I know why it hasn't been reported to have heat issues... | 22:02 |
| thafreak | it's relatively large | 22:03 |
| thafreak | but, the built in software/service is actually pretty neat... | 22:03 |
| Unit193 | You don't *have* to pay for experts-exchange... just set your UA to google bot and go to the end of the page... | 22:07 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: Nice. :) | 22:09 |
| canthus13 | Anyone know how to get wicd to show up in the notification area? | 22:09 |
| canthus13 | bah. I got it up for the moment... dunno if it'll keep working after a reboot, though. | 22:16 |
| canthus13 | Not liking the crap speeds I get from this new wireless card. :( | 22:22 |
| Cheri703 | hooray for GIANT shipping boxes for just a keyboard! | 22:27 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 22:29 |
| Cheri703 | seriously, like 2'x3'x1', a bunch of brown paper, and A KEYBOARD in a retail box...not even a keyboard/mouse combo -_- | 22:36 |
| Cheri703 | Trying to decide between using the HP recovery partition (that puts a TON of crap/bloatware/whatever on) or just doing a clean generic install of xp home for a client's computer... | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | I take it you can't use Pro? (use the CD) | 23:50 |
| Cheri703 | well...could...I'm contemplating that as well... | 23:51 |
| Unit193 | I guess if it has a home sticker... | 23:53 |
| Cheri703 | eh, we'll see | 23:55 |
