[00:01] can anyone recommend a good wireless router with good range [00:01] yes, I recommend finding a good wireless router with good range [00:01] ;) [00:09] dmcglone: I've never used WRT300N (but 1 and 1.1 work with tomato and DD-WRT) [00:16] Unit193: linksys? [00:18] dmcglone: Linksys/Cisco [00:19] gotcha. I've used belkin for so long, I've forgotten everything else pretty much [00:25] Oh yeah, the new KDE 4.6 has a netbook interface [00:25] You can choose between traditional and the netbook [00:29] dmcglone: If we put a *buntu on the main, it will be Kubuntu! [00:31] Ubuntu going the way of Unity, I would have Xubuntu for other... [00:32] so far I'm liking KDE 4.6. right now I'm learning how to share widgets on the network [00:38] exactly why I think I need a new quality router [00:40] dmcglone: belkins are reasonable [00:45] reasonable? I want superb ;-) [01:05] jacob ping a ling [01:10] paultag: ping [01:16] vorian: hey, what's up [01:17] paultag: I need to update my blog url on the planet, but I'm stuck on a windows machine :( [01:17] can you help me out? [01:19] vorian: yeah, send me the URL [01:19] paultag: http://machinecrusade.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default [01:20] vorian: same head? [01:20] yep. just the url [01:20] I'm not remembering when or why I changed it [01:22] just a sec, it's updating [01:22] the copy I have is way stale [01:22] ouch! [01:22] 5/13 [01:23] my net sucks, it'll be a sec [01:23] no hurry, I have yet to finish my post [01:23] vorian: I can't change it, it's already set [01:23] wha? [01:23] vorian: jacob set it on 2011-02-17 03:54:56 -- Revision ID: jpeddicord@ubuntu.com-20110217035456-zsdmi4u3wyufkddg [01:23] vorian: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~planet-ubuntu/config/main/revision/1294 [01:24] yeah, did that not update on planet? [01:24] vorian: yeah, entry looks good [01:24] okay, i'll have to trust that [01:24] jacob: it looks good jacob [01:24] kk [01:24] for some reason it was showing ubuntu-vorian [01:25] I'll do a test post (mwahahahhahaha) [01:25] and it wont be directed at Matthew [01:25] ok, i lied [01:25] vorian: yeah, it looks good and that's your only entry [01:25] paultag: no need to claim your net sucks, it took a good 10 minutes to download on this fairly decent connection [01:26] lolbazaar [01:26] jacob: phew, it's not just me :) [01:28] burrito time, /afk [01:31] ahhhh [01:31] here is the problem [01:33] paultag: http://vorian-ubuntu.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default [01:34] ^^ that is the correct url [01:34] vorian: so you want to switch that? [01:34] paultag: yes please :) [01:35] mkay [01:35] vorian: pushed [01:35] thanks paul! [01:35] I take it no finch users here? [01:35] no problem, man [01:36] Unit193: nawskies :) [01:36] vorian: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~planet-ubuntu/config/main/revision/1296 <-- all set :) [01:36] wicked awesome [01:37] now I just need to get my linux machine back online [01:37] I love the word wicked so much [01:37] vorian: what did you do to it? [01:37] it's booting too many systems [01:37] some of the systems are bleading over, quite odd [01:38] odd is right [01:40] OK, sushi time [01:40] godspeed [01:40] vorian: if you need me to update that again, just shoot me an email [01:40] paultag: will do! thanks for the offer :) [01:52] * Unit193 is really getting ticked of at finch! [03:29] if you had 2 cords, and they were white and colored, would you assume white to be ground or colored to be ground? [03:32] Lick one and find out? [03:34] I think I found my issue. I had them in the right spots for the most part [03:41] I'm back for a bit [03:41] IT'S ALIIIIVE! my first computer built from scratch is up and running :) :) [03:41] Your first computer and it's not even for you.... right? [03:42] yep [03:42] but I got paid decent money for it, so I'm ok with it :) [03:42] What OS? [03:42] I'm going to run it through its paces over the weekend, make sure EVERYTHING is working properly [03:42] 10.10 [03:47] this thing is about to die, I'll bbl [03:47] Bye Cheri703 [03:49] bye [03:53] ok, back :) had to go to living room sooner than anticipated, so I got my cord then [03:53] I thought you'd be gone longer [03:54] so did I [03:55] 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] Not looking "how" now, just "if" [03:55] uhm, I know you can take from one installation of ubuntu to another, not sure about cross DE [03:56] LXDE > XFCE [03:56] the .application folders are what you'll want (.mozilla, .ssh .xchat) worth a shot [03:56] Now if I can just remember all I've installed... [03:57] ctrl h shows hidden files [03:57] you can see them then [03:57] they're in the home folder [03:57] ls -a does too :) [03:58] kk [03:59] canthus13 needs to do some sort of class where I get steal all his terminal wisdom [04:00] Unit193: Heh. my terminal wisdom consists mainly of google. :) [04:01] You seem to know all the best apps! along with all the other commands I seem to need/fotgot [04:04] Unit193: Heh. gthis guy knows all the best apps: https://kmandla.wordpress.com/ [04:08] http://kmandla.wikispaces.com/ <--- seems real cool! arch fan... [04:09] Unit193: Oh cool. I haven't seen that one yet. :) [04:09] canthus13: If you find any real cool console apps, let me know! [04:09] I will. :) [04:40] booted into 10.10 so I can make sure I'm setting up the new comp the way I want it [04:40] still getting it set up on mine as well [04:41] How do you like it? how does it contrast to 10.04? [04:41] it's very similar [04:41] 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] also I'd upgraded and had issues, this is a clean install [04:42] jacob: sorry [04:42] 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] i was trying to find the easiest way to post [04:43] Cheri703: I knew you liked .04 better... what are you going to do when 11.04 is out with only unity? [04:43] we'll see [04:43] I'll try it out, might just stay in the 10's [04:43] depends on if it works with my desktop video card...works PERFECTLY in 10.04, not at all in 10.10 [04:43] so...we'll see [04:44] that or just use Gubuntu ;) or even Xubuntu... [04:44] yeah, we'll see [04:47] 10.10 has wireless issues with both wireless adapters I tried in this machine. :( [04:48] that sucks [04:48] mine works ok in 10.10... [04:50] * canthus13 has tried with a BCM 4312 and an Atheros AR9285. [04:51] the BCM works perfectly in 9.10. [04:51] :/ that's annoying [04:51] I hate it when the "new and improved" has less usable things than the old ones [04:54] Yup. makes me more likely to switch to another distro. :( [04:56] Cheri703: 'Simplicity' is a feautre. [04:59] yeah [04:59] they focus on "let's make it shiny" vs "let's make it work" lately...that's frustrating [05:08] canthus13: Do you think grml might be able to handle rdc/p on 128Ram? (and maybe video) [05:08] Unit193: 128MB? Prolly not. [05:08] but it shouldn't hurt to try. :) [05:10] That's about what I was thinking! [05:21] 1080p monitor = AWESOME... [05:21] and it's super light weigh [05:21] t [05:21] weighs around the same as my netbook, perhaps a bit heavier [05:21] I wish I could keep this computer :( [05:21] but oh well [05:34] Wow [05:35] Just about had it with the Google TV FUD. [05:35] Google should totally hire an angry mob of lawyers and start suing viacom and company into the ground. [05:35] >.< [05:36] So tired of hearing the claim that google TV = Piracy. [05:36] It's such utter nonsense I'm 'sure' they could get a victory on one level or another >.< [06:03] BiosElement: So how IS your project coming? (apart from the crazy people!) [06:04] It's coming great honestly. [06:04] We've got some really amazing people onboard. [06:04] One of our map designers is a guy who's been doing it professionally for 11 years. [06:04] Well, that's great! [06:04] I've got a python web dev who worked with Creative Commons as a lead dev on their work. ^_^ [06:04] So yeah, we're doing awesome with people heh. [06:06] Man, how did you get these people? [06:06] Hah, good question. :P [06:06] Simply put, we really lucked out. [06:07] I suppose we either have a really compelling concept, or are somehow amazingly awesome and don't realize it ;) [06:07] What's the site again? [06:07] cubecreate.com [06:09] I love FAQ #3... [06:09] LOL [06:09] Wow, yeah. As you can tell, still a bit patchy sitewise [06:12] Is the platform geared towards a certain type of game? [06:12] Oh yeah, and we have 2 professional writers. >.> *writes his best and sends it on to them to save him...* [06:13] 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. [06:15] A person would have to know Lua in order to make a game? [06:15] (Sorry for some real basic questions!) [06:15] 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] Nah, it's fine. [06:16] Actually just updated the FAQ >.> [06:16] So yeah, thanks ^_^ [06:17] Ubuntu CoC? ;) [06:17] No problem! [06:17] Yes, yes it is heh. [06:21] Was this going to be cross platform? (I thought I read thet at some point. Maybe I'm delusional?) [06:21] Of course. [06:22] Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and possibly a few more. [06:24] I guess I missed that this time around! if/when you need people to test Linux/Windows binaries, I'll give it a shot! [06:26] Ahah, Will do. ^_^ I'll be sure to let folks know. [06:26] Maybe I should stop asking questions, them FAQs are getting longer! [06:27] Ahah, long FAQ's are good ;P [06:27] That they are, but being the person that makes them long isn't ;) [06:29] Ahah, maybe not. ;P [06:35] Glad I could get lots more info on cC [06:42] Yep ^_^ [06:42] Great to hear you care heh [06:54] Ugh [06:54] What be the issue? [06:54] I really hate being [06:54] 'the man' when people want to stick it to him >.< [06:54] that's fairly existential [06:54] ah [06:54] Ahah [06:55] That made me think of SG1... being "the man" is never a good thing... [06:55] Eh, as funder and project co-founder, I'm the biggest authority there is. [06:55] So even community-wide votes are an 'excuse'. [06:55] * BiosElement coughs [06:56] Ahh well, can't win every battle. [06:56] I really should write a book on community management. >.< I'm sure it'd be a best seller :P [06:58] See Unit193, no matter how many awesome people a project has, it still has it's road bumps :P [06:59] 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) [07:00] Hah, you have to be willing to take some bumps if you lead a project. [07:00] It's worth it, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. [07:01] I'm not sure how I would be able to help with your project... [07:01] Hah, well get yourself a club and go to this address and...ok maybe not such a good idea. *facepalms* [07:02] Feel free to just checkout the forums and comment. ^_^ [07:02] We always need more lurkers poking around and giving ideas. [07:02] Not the ideas I have... [07:02] But I'll check them out! [07:03] Heh, If I sound annoyed it's just because this gets old [07:04] This is the third poll and 10-somethinith decision made that then somehow is all my evil doing [07:04] But wasn't a problem at the time. *sighs* [07:05] I missed what "this" is? [07:06] Ahh, *rants about decision* "Ok fine, I'll hold a poll" *Good.* *month later* *That poll was crap!!!* [07:07] 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] I soooo don't want to be you right now.... [07:08] Yeah well, join the club. ^_^ [07:08] My drug of choice is Crystal Method BTW, if you ever do lead a project. Just turn it up and blow a few speakers. [07:13] Wow. [07:14] So a poll is done with over a dozen random gamemode concepts [07:14] Now all of sudden it's 'my' project [07:14] I'm really glad I don't have to deal with this in person [07:19] Awesome, I wrote two paragraphs for every paragraph written. Wow I write too much. [07:19] flame wars? [07:20] Heh, PM. [14:57] Hello ohio [14:57] soooo, new egg has presidents sale...the WD gree 1TB drives are $10 off [14:58] too bad max you're allowed to buy is 5... [15:33] 07:08 < BiosElement> My drug of choice is Crystal Meth [15:35] I think that needs to be the /topic [15:47] Hey Hey! [15:49] yo [16:18] * BiosElement kicks paultag >.> [16:34] 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] software raid/zfs [16:35] I had an atom 330 dual core, and I was unimpressed by software raid 5 on it... [16:35] anyone know anything about the core i3? [16:51] wait, crap [16:51] I didn't realize this whole different alignment issue [16:51] maybe that's why the atom machine i tested sucked [16:51] crap [20:48] Hiya all [20:50] KDE 4.6 is looking great [21:26] Hello dmcglone! Should I try it? ;) [21:33] Oh yes! [21:34] I think I'll be sticking here from now on [21:38] Unit193: you will not regret it :-) [21:46] ok, I know some of you have mentioned using arch [21:47] how the hell do I search the available packages?? what's the equivalent of apt-cache search, or aptitude search [21:48] nm...I found it on the wiki [21:53] dmcglone: I have always been a fan of Kubuntu! [21:54] Back with 7.* [22:12] 7*??? [22:12] Feisty Fawn... I still have a CD of it... [22:13] Oh [22:13] I thought KDE was up to 7x and I missed it [22:13] haha [22:13] Yeah... Kubuntu 7.04 [22:14] I'm not running Kubuntu, I'm running Ubuntu with KDE [22:14] 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] Why not Kubuntu? [22:15] why? it works either way [22:15] I have both Gnome and KDE on this computer [22:16] do you have both? [22:20] I wonder if there's a way to trick netflix to let me watch instant on linux [22:27] I have Lubuntu(=LXDE) on one and going/had Kubuntu on another [22:28] The lubuntu computer is moving to another unit, so I may swap L for X... [22:56] heh. just talked to someone whose house number was 1337. [23:14] I think my router is shot [23:14] that's no good dmcglone [23:14] I know. It's dropping connections more often than before [23:15] Who do you think shot it? [23:16] LOL Unit193 [23:16] it seems moonlight is a bust! [23:17] Why? (the distro, right?) [23:18] ohhh... like silverlight... [23:18] no it's the linux equivalent of silverlight. BUT I just found a really cool site that shows how it works [23:19] Hmmm pretty cool [23:19] http://imagebot.org/silverlight/postcards/ [23:19] check it out using moonlight [23:51] 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 [23:57] Im installing XP in a virtual box [23:57] dual boot [23:57] no, using virtual box [23:58] I meant you should dual boot [23:58] I already got dual boot with XP too... LOL [23:58] .... [23:58] I'm lazy [23:58] -_- [23:59] Im probably only going to use it to watch netflix movies
