| dmcglone | can anyone recommend a good wireless router with good range | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| deejoe | yes, I recommend finding a good wireless router with good range | 00:01 |
| deejoe | ;) | 00:01 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone: I've never used WRT300N (but 1 and 1.1 work with tomato and DD-WRT) | 00:09 |
| dmcglone | Unit193: linksys? | 00:16 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone: Linksys/Cisco | 00:18 |
| dmcglone | gotcha. I've used belkin for so long, I've forgotten everything else pretty much | 00:19 |
| dmcglone | Oh yeah, the new KDE 4.6 has a netbook interface | 00:25 |
| dmcglone | You can choose between traditional and the netbook | 00:25 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone: If we put a *buntu on the main, it will be Kubuntu! | 00:29 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu going the way of Unity, I would have Xubuntu for other... | 00:31 |
| dmcglone | so far I'm liking KDE 4.6. right now I'm learning how to share widgets on the network | 00:32 |
| dmcglone | exactly why I think I need a new quality router | 00:38 |
| Cheri703 | dmcglone: belkins are reasonable | 00:40 |
| dmcglone | reasonable? I want superb ;-) | 00:45 |

| paultag | vorian: I can't change it, it's already set | 01:23 |
| vorian | wha? | 01:23 |
| paultag | vorian: jacob set it on 2011-02-17 03:54:56 -- Revision ID: jpeddicord@ubuntu.com-20110217035456-zsdmi4u3wyufkddg | 01:23 |
| paultag | vorian: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~planet-ubuntu/config/main/revision/1294 | 01:23 |
| jacob | yeah, did that not update on planet? | 01:24 |
| paultag | vorian: yeah, entry looks good | 01:24 |
| vorian | okay, i'll have to trust that | 01:24 |
| paultag | jacob: it looks good jacob | 01:24 |
| jacob | kk | 01:24 |
| vorian | for some reason it was showing ubuntu-vorian | 01:24 |
| vorian | I'll do a test post (mwahahahhahaha) | 01:25 |
| vorian | and it wont be directed at Matthew | 01:25 |
| vorian | ok, i lied | 01:25 |
| paultag | vorian: yeah, it looks good and that's your only entry | 01:25 |
| jacob | paultag: no need to claim your net sucks, it took a good 10 minutes to download on this fairly decent connection | 01:25 |
| jacob | lolbazaar | 01:26 |
| paultag | jacob: phew, it's not just me :) | 01:26 |
| jacob | burrito time, /afk | 01:28 |
| vorian | ahhhh | 01:31 |
| vorian | here is the problem | 01:31 |
| vorian | paultag: http://vorian-ubuntu.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default | 01:33 |
| vorian | ^^ that is the correct url | 01:34 |
| paultag | vorian: so you want to switch that? | 01:34 |
| vorian | paultag: yes please :) | 01:34 |
| paultag | mkay | 01:35 |
| paultag | vorian: pushed | 01:35 |
| vorian | thanks paul! | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | I take it no finch users here? | 01:35 |
| paultag | no problem, man | 01:35 |
| paultag | Unit193: nawskies :) | 01:36 |
| paultag | vorian: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~planet-ubuntu/config/main/revision/1296 <-- all set :) | 01:36 |
| vorian | wicked awesome | 01:36 |
| vorian | now I just need to get my linux machine back online | 01:37 |
| paultag | I love the word wicked so much | 01:37 |
| paultag | vorian: what did you do to it? | 01:37 |
| vorian | it's booting too many systems | 01:37 |
| vorian | some of the systems are bleading over, quite odd | 01:37 |
| paultag | odd is right | 01:38 |
| paultag | OK, sushi time | 01:40 |
| paultag | godspeed | 01:40 |
| paultag | vorian: if you need me to update that again, just shoot me an email | 01:40 |
| vorian | paultag: will do! thanks for the offer :) | 01:40 |
| * Unit193 is really getting ticked of at finch! | 01:52 | |
| Cheri703 | if you had 2 cords, and they were white and colored, would you assume white to be ground or colored to be ground? | 03:29 |
| Unit193 | Lick one and find out? | 03:32 |
| Cheri703 | I think I found my issue. I had them in the right spots for the most part | 03:34 |
| dmcglone1 | I'm back for a bit | 03:41 |
| Cheri703 | IT'S ALIIIIVE! my first computer built from scratch is up and running :) :) | 03:41 |
| Unit193 | Your first computer and it's not even for you.... right? | 03:41 |
| Cheri703 | yep | 03:42 |
| Cheri703 | but I got paid decent money for it, so I'm ok with it :) | 03:42 |
| Unit193 | What OS? | 03:42 |
| Cheri703 | I'm going to run it through its paces over the weekend, make sure EVERYTHING is working properly | 03:42 |
| Cheri703 | 10.10 | 03:42 |
| Cheri703 | this thing is about to die, I'll bbl | 03:47 |
| Unit193 | Bye Cheri703 | 03:47 |
| Cheri703 | bye | 03:49 |
| Cheri703 | ok, back :) had to go to living room sooner than anticipated, so I got my cord then | 03:53 |
| Unit193 | I thought you'd be gone longer | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | so did I | 03:54 |
| Unit193 | Do you know if you can take the home dirs out of one *buntu and stick it into another? (and how to get most of the apps/config over) | 03:55 |
| Unit193 | Not looking "how" now, just "if" | 03:55 |
| Cheri703 | uhm, I know you can take from one installation of ubuntu to another, not sure about cross DE | 03:55 |
| Unit193 | LXDE > XFCE | 03:56 |
| Cheri703 | the .application folders are what you'll want (.mozilla, .ssh .xchat) worth a shot | 03:56 |
| Unit193 | Now if I can just remember all I've installed... | 03:56 |
| Cheri703 | ctrl h shows hidden files | 03:57 |
| Cheri703 | you can see them then | 03:57 |
| Cheri703 | they're in the home folder | 03:57 |
| Unit193 | ls -a does too :) | 03:57 |
| Cheri703 | kk | 03:58 |
| Unit193 | canthus13 needs to do some sort of class where I get steal all his terminal wisdom | 03:59 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: Heh. my terminal wisdom consists mainly of google. :) | 04:00 |
| Unit193 | You seem to know all the best apps! along with all the other commands I seem to need/fotgot | 04:01 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: Heh. gthis guy knows all the best apps: https://kmandla.wordpress.com/ | 04:04 |
| Unit193 | http://kmandla.wikispaces.com/ <--- seems real cool! arch fan... | 04:08 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: Oh cool. I haven't seen that one yet. :) | 04:09 |
| Unit193 | canthus13: If you find any real cool console apps, let me know! | 04:09 |
| canthus13 | I will. :) | 04:09 |
| Cheri703 | booted into 10.10 so I can make sure I'm setting up the new comp the way I want it | 04:40 |
| Cheri703 | still getting it set up on mine as well | 04:40 |
| Unit193 | How do you like it? how does it contrast to 10.04? | 04:41 |
| Cheri703 | it's very similar | 04:41 |
| Cheri703 | I had used it for a bit before, but went back to 10.04 because that's what I have to run on my desktop | 04:41 |
| Cheri703 | also I'd upgraded and had issues, this is a clean install | 04:41 |
| vorian | jacob: sorry | 04:42 |
| Cheri703 | I was somewhat turned off to it because I tried unity first -_- HATED the initial release of unity, but....hopefully it's better now | 04:42 |
| vorian | i was trying to find the easiest way to post | 04:42 |
| Unit193 | Cheri703: I knew you liked .04 better... what are you going to do when 11.04 is out with only unity? | 04:43 |
| Cheri703 | we'll see | 04:43 |
| Cheri703 | I'll try it out, might just stay in the 10's | 04:43 |
| Cheri703 | depends on if it works with my desktop video card...works PERFECTLY in 10.04, not at all in 10.10 | 04:43 |
| Cheri703 | so...we'll see | 04:43 |
| Unit193 | that or just use Gubuntu ;) or even Xubuntu... | 04:44 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, we'll see | 04:44 |
| canthus13 | 10.10 has wireless issues with both wireless adapters I tried in this machine. :( | 04:47 |
| Cheri703 | that sucks | 04:48 |
| Cheri703 | mine works ok in 10.10... | 04:48 |
| * canthus13 has tried with a BCM 4312 and an Atheros AR9285. | 04:50 | |
| canthus13 | the BCM works perfectly in 9.10. | 04:51 |
| Cheri703 | :/ that's annoying | 04:51 |
| Cheri703 | I hate it when the "new and improved" has less usable things than the old ones | 04:51 |
| canthus13 | Yup. makes me more likely to switch to another distro. :( | 04:54 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: 'Simplicity' is a feautre. | 04:56 |
| Cheri703 | yeah | 04:59 |
| Cheri703 | they focus on "let's make it shiny" vs "let's make it work" lately...that's frustrating | 04:59 |
| Unit193 | canthus13: Do you think grml might be able to handle rdc/p on 128Ram? (and maybe video) | 05:08 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: 128MB? Prolly not. | 05:08 |
| canthus13 | but it shouldn't hurt to try. :) | 05:08 |
| Unit193 | That's about what I was thinking! | 05:10 |
| Cheri703 | 1080p monitor = AWESOME... | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | and it's super light weigh | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | t | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | weighs around the same as my netbook, perhaps a bit heavier | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | I wish I could keep this computer :( | 05:21 |
| Cheri703 | but oh well | 05:21 |
| BiosElement | Wow | 05:34 |
| BiosElement | Just about had it with the Google TV FUD. | 05:35 |
| BiosElement | Google should totally hire an angry mob of lawyers and start suing viacom and company into the ground. | 05:35 |
| BiosElement | >.< | 05:35 |
| BiosElement | So tired of hearing the claim that google TV = Piracy. | 05:36 |
| BiosElement | It's such utter nonsense I'm 'sure' they could get a victory on one level or another >.< | 05:36 |
| Unit193 | BiosElement: So how IS your project coming? (apart from the crazy people!) | 06:03 |
| BiosElement | It's coming great honestly. | 06:04 |
| BiosElement | We've got some really amazing people onboard. | 06:04 |
| BiosElement | One of our map designers is a guy who's been doing it professionally for 11 years. | 06:04 |
| Unit193 | Well, that's great! | 06:04 |
| BiosElement | I've got a python web dev who worked with Creative Commons as a lead dev on their work. ^_^ | 06:04 |
| BiosElement | So yeah, we're doing awesome with people heh. | 06:04 |
| Unit193 | Man, how did you get these people? | 06:06 |
| BiosElement | Hah, good question. :P | 06:06 |
| BiosElement | Simply put, we really lucked out. | 06:06 |
| BiosElement | I suppose we either have a really compelling concept, or are somehow amazingly awesome and don't realize it ;) | 06:07 |
| Unit193 | What's the site again? | 06:07 |
| BiosElement | cubecreate.com | 06:07 |
| Unit193 | I love FAQ #3... | 06:09 |
| BiosElement | LOL | 06:09 |
| BiosElement | Wow, yeah. As you can tell, still a bit patchy sitewise | 06:09 |
| Unit193 | Is the platform geared towards a certain type of game? | 06:12 |
| BiosElement | Oh yeah, and we have 2 professional writers. >.> *writes his best and sends it on to them to save him...* | 06:12 |
| BiosElement | No, the engine itself is very generic and we are deeply commited to keeping it tthat way. You could even do a 2D mario style game, though the engine is of course 3D. | 06:13 |
| Unit193 | A person would have to know Lua in order to make a game? | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | (Sorry for some real basic questions!) | 06:15 |
| BiosElement | No. We intend to make a plug/play style library of scripts to let developers who don't know lua design games. Although of course eventually there 'will' be a limit to that. | 06:15 |
| BiosElement | Nah, it's fine. | 06:15 |
| BiosElement | Actually just updated the FAQ >.> | 06:16 |
| BiosElement | So yeah, thanks ^_^ | 06:16 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu CoC? ;) | 06:17 |
| Unit193 | No problem! | 06:17 |
| BiosElement | Yes, yes it is heh. | 06:17 |
| Unit193 | Was this going to be cross platform? (I thought I read thet at some point. Maybe I'm delusional?) | 06:21 |
| BiosElement | Of course. | 06:21 |
| BiosElement | Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and possibly a few more. | 06:22 |
| Unit193 | I guess I missed that this time around! if/when you need people to test Linux/Windows binaries, I'll give it a shot! | 06:24 |
| BiosElement | Ahah, Will do. ^_^ I'll be sure to let folks know. | 06:26 |
| Unit193 | Maybe I should stop asking questions, them FAQs are getting longer! | 06:26 |
| BiosElement | Ahah, long FAQ's are good ;P | 06:27 |
| Unit193 | That they are, but being the person that makes them long isn't ;) | 06:27 |
| BiosElement | Ahah, maybe not. ;P | 06:29 |
| Unit193 | Glad I could get lots more info on cC | 06:35 |
| BiosElement | Yep ^_^ | 06:42 |
| BiosElement | Great to hear you care heh | 06:42 |
| BiosElement | Ugh | 06:54 |
| Unit193 | What be the issue? | 06:54 |
| BiosElement | I really hate being | 06:54 |
| BiosElement | 'the man' when people want to stick it to him >.< | 06:54 |
| Cheri703 | that's fairly existential | 06:54 |
| Cheri703 | ah | 06:54 |
| BiosElement | Ahah | 06:54 |
| Unit193 | That made me think of SG1... being "the man" is never a good thing... | 06:55 |
| BiosElement | Eh, as funder and project co-founder, I'm the biggest authority there is. | 06:55 |
| BiosElement | So even community-wide votes are an 'excuse'. | 06:55 |
| * BiosElement coughs | 06:55 | |
| BiosElement | Ahh well, can't win every battle. | 06:56 |
| BiosElement | I really should write a book on community management. >.< I'm sure it'd be a best seller :P | 06:56 |
| BiosElement | See Unit193, no matter how many awesome people a project has, it still has it's road bumps :P | 06:58 |
| Unit193 | That's why I'm never going to be one of the leaders! not so good with people! (and you were talking all about the crazy/annoying ones) | 06:59 |
| BiosElement | Hah, you have to be willing to take some bumps if you lead a project. | 07:00 |
| BiosElement | It's worth it, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. | 07:00 |
| Unit193 | I'm not sure how I would be able to help with your project... | 07:01 |
| BiosElement | Hah, well get yourself a club and go to this address and...ok maybe not such a good idea. *facepalms* | 07:01 |
| BiosElement | Feel free to just checkout the forums and comment. ^_^ | 07:02 |
| BiosElement | We always need more lurkers poking around and giving ideas. | 07:02 |
| Unit193 | Not the ideas I have... | 07:02 |
| Unit193 | But I'll check them out! | 07:02 |
| BiosElement | Heh, If I sound annoyed it's just because this gets old | 07:03 |
| BiosElement | This is the third poll and 10-somethinith decision made that then somehow is all my evil doing | 07:04 |
| BiosElement | But wasn't a problem at the time. *sighs* | 07:04 |
| Unit193 | I missed what "this" is? | 07:05 |
| BiosElement | Ahh, *rants about decision* "Ok fine, I'll hold a poll" *Good.* *month later* *That poll was crap!!!* | 07:06 |
| BiosElement | It looks bad but eh, I'm just going to ignore any further bitching about it. Decisions made, move on. I will never understand how folks like Jono and Mark put up with this heh. | 07:07 |
| Unit193 | I soooo don't want to be you right now.... | 07:07 |
| BiosElement | Yeah well, join the club. ^_^ | 07:08 |
| BiosElement | My drug of choice is Crystal Method BTW, if you ever do lead a project. Just turn it up and blow a few speakers. | 07:08 |
| BiosElement | Wow. | 07:13 |
| BiosElement | So a poll is done with over a dozen random gamemode concepts | 07:14 |
| BiosElement | Now all of sudden it's 'my' project | 07:14 |
| BiosElement | I'm really glad I don't have to deal with this in person | 07:14 |
| BiosElement | Awesome, I wrote two paragraphs for every paragraph written. Wow I write too much. | 07:19 |
| Unit193 | flame wars? | 07:19 |
| BiosElement | Heh, PM. | 07:20 |
| thafreak | Hello ohio | 14:57 |
| thafreak | soooo, new egg has presidents sale...the WD gree 1TB drives are $10 off | 14:57 |
| thafreak | too bad max you're allowed to buy is 5... | 14:58 |
| paultag | 07:08 < BiosElement> My drug of choice is Crystal Meth | 15:33 |
| paultag | I think that needs to be the /topic | 15:35 |
| dmcglone | Hey Hey! | 15:47 |
| Cheri703 | yo | 15:49 |
| * BiosElement kicks paultag >.> | 16:18 | |
| thafreak | so...if you were building a dream freenas/linux storage server for your basement/closet...and were going green...what cpu would you use? | 16:34 |
| thafreak | software raid/zfs | 16:34 |
| thafreak | I had an atom 330 dual core, and I was unimpressed by software raid 5 on it... | 16:35 |
| thafreak | anyone know anything about the core i3? | 16:35 |
| thafreak | wait, crap | 16:51 |
| thafreak | I didn't realize this whole different alignment issue | 16:51 |
| thafreak | maybe that's why the atom machine i tested sucked | 16:51 |
| thafreak | crap | 16:51 |
| dmcglone | Hiya all | 20:48 |
| dmcglone | KDE 4.6 is looking great | 20:50 |
| Unit193 | Hello dmcglone! Should I try it? ;) | 21:26 |
| dmcglone | Oh yes! | 21:33 |
| dmcglone | I think I'll be sticking here from now on | 21:34 |
| dmcglone | Unit193: you will not regret it :-) | 21:38 |
| thafreak | ok, I know some of you have mentioned using arch | 21:46 |
| thafreak | how the hell do I search the available packages?? what's the equivalent of apt-cache search, or aptitude search | 21:47 |
| thafreak | nm...I found it on the wiki | 21:48 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone: I have always been a fan of Kubuntu! | 21:53 |
| Unit193 | Back with 7.* | 21:54 |
| dmcglone | 7*??? | 22:12 |
| Unit193 | Feisty Fawn... I still have a CD of it... | 22:12 |
| dmcglone | Oh | 22:13 |
| dmcglone | I thought KDE was up to 7x and I missed it | 22:13 |
| dmcglone | haha | 22:13 |
| Unit193 | Yeah... Kubuntu 7.04 | 22:13 |
| dmcglone | I'm not running Kubuntu, I'm running Ubuntu with KDE | 22:14 |
| Unit193 | I had Ubuntu 6.10 on one computer till Lubuntu 10.10 (well, 10.04 but a week later 10.10 came out) | 22:14 |
| Unit193 | Why not Kubuntu? | 22:14 |
| dmcglone | why? it works either way | 22:15 |
| dmcglone | I have both Gnome and KDE on this computer | 22:15 |
| dmcglone | do you have both? | 22:16 |
| dmcglone | I wonder if there's a way to trick netflix to let me watch instant on linux | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | I have Lubuntu(=LXDE) on one and going/had Kubuntu on another | 22:27 |
| Unit193 | The lubuntu computer is moving to another unit, so I may swap L for X... | 22:28 |
| canthus13 | heh. just talked to someone whose house number was 1337. | 22:56 |
| dmcglone | I think my router is shot | 23:14 |
| Cheri703 | that's no good dmcglone | 23:14 |
| dmcglone | I know. It's dropping connections more often than before | 23:14 |
| Unit193 | Who do you think shot it? | 23:15 |
| dmcglone | LOL Unit193 | 23:16 |
| dmcglone | it seems moonlight is a bust! | 23:16 |
| Unit193 | Why? (the distro, right?) | 23:17 |
| Unit193 | ohhh... like silverlight... | 23:18 |
| dmcglone | no it's the linux equivalent of silverlight. BUT I just found a really cool site that shows how it works | 23:18 |
| dmcglone | Hmmm pretty cool | 23:19 |
| dmcglone | http://imagebot.org/silverlight/postcards/ | 23:19 |
| dmcglone | check it out using moonlight | 23:19 |
| Cheri703 | cool video: controlling ardrone quadcopter with kinect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMSM_9SeNZk&feature=youtu.be friend of mine set that up at Dev8d | 23:51 |
| dmcglone | Im installing XP in a virtual box | 23:57 |
| Cheri703 | dual boot | 23:57 |
| dmcglone | no, using virtual box | 23:57 |
| Cheri703 | I meant you should dual boot | 23:58 |
| dmcglone | I already got dual boot with XP too... LOL | 23:58 |
| Cheri703 | .... | 23:58 |
| dmcglone | I'm lazy | 23:58 |
| Cheri703 | -_- | 23:58 |
| dmcglone | Im probably only going to use it to watch netflix movies | 23:59 |
