[04:09] <chris4585> so I'd love to try unity on my laptop / desktop but the video card drivers seem to not allow compiz to work for me :|
[04:11] <chris4585> hrm well I take that back on my laptop, the driver is downloading now woot
[11:32] <chibihogoshino> chris4585: why didnt the ubiquity installer not work with the old script ?
[14:14] <chris4585> chibihogoshino?
[14:15] <chibihogoshino> the old version of magic live .. the ubiquity wouldnt install for some reason.. i dont remember why that that ..
[14:15] <chibihogoshino> there was a script or something think
[14:16] <chris4585> I seem to remember something about that.. but bbiab
[14:17] <chibihogoshino> ok
[21:04]  * cyberanger has finished installing asterisk, now to configure it
[21:04] <cyberanger> first time doing this on ubuntu
[21:04] <cyberanger> should be intresting
[21:05] <cyberanger> anyone else doing anything intresting
[21:37] <chris4585> cyberanger, playing with unity
[21:38] <chris4585> I realize now that its important to have a clickable icon on the desktop to reset unity..
[21:40] <cyberanger> kinda unfortunate, no backup option
[21:41] <cyberanger> and removing the ability to restart xorg (however there's ways around that issue, re-enable it, or drop to a shell and restart gdm)
[21:43] <chris4585> cyberanger, it would be useful to have a way to backup to gdm
[21:44] <chris4585> or at least have something similar to win7 / vista
[21:44] <chris4585> when ctrl+alt+del or is it backspace? whatever, when its pressed it brings up options
[21:44] <chris4585> the exact same should be done on ubuntu in my opinion..
[21:44] <cyberanger> the gdm service is still there, afaik, but yeah, a way to fallback to gnome per use
[21:45] <chris4585> the only way it seems to back out when unity / compiz crashes is to right click on desktop > new file > open > navigate to /usr/share/applications
[21:46] <chris4585> thats rather annoying
[21:46] <chris4585> thats one way of doing it anyway
[21:48] <cyberanger> ctrl + alt + f1
[21:48] <cyberanger> and login there, sudo service gdm restart?
[21:48] <chris4585> yes but the regular joe doesn't know that
[21:49] <chris4585> and they shouldn't have to know that either
[21:49] <chris4585> well this is alpha anyway lol
[21:49] <cyberanger> lol, I remember showing wrst my "desktop" that way, at least once
[21:50] <chris4585> lol
[21:50] <cyberanger> (and he didn't know about ctrl + alt + f7, to go back, I did feel bad for that bit, having him restart xorg)
[21:50] <chris4585> must of been a while ago?
[21:53] <cyberanger> wrst: how long ago was it I showed you my desktop?
[21:53] <cyberanger> wrst: on your system, with Ctrl + Alt + F1
[21:54] <cyberanger> chris4585: not too long, I think
[21:54] <chris4585> oh, well wrst learned the hard way then lol
[21:54] <chris4585> pressing alt with left/right will also get you back
[21:55] <chris4585> eventually
[21:57] <cyberanger> not from a tty
[21:57] <cyberanger> well, actually, that might work (that might be something I tweaked for hotkey functions)
[22:00] <chris4585> uh
[22:00] <chris4585> if you keep pressing alt and hit either left or right it will eventually get you to the desktop if xorg is running
[22:01] <chris4585> ah
[22:01] <chris4585> gotcha
[22:01] <chris4585> well thats what it does not tweaked :P
[22:05] <cyberanger> and also, you've sidestepped xorg by pressing ctrl alt f1
[22:06] <cyberanger> xorg loses control of keyboard events (and everything else) since tty1 has focus
[22:07] <chris4585> I usually never press f1, I just generally ger in the area of f1 - f6
[22:07] <chris4585> get*
[22:08] <wrst> cyberanger :P
[22:09] <cyberanger> wrst: when was that (and did you just do that again? kinda a long time to get here, just to stick your tounge out)
[22:10] <chris4585> wrst, unity is coming along, the only thing I really don't like about it is dash and the lack of... working well
[22:10] <wrst> ha ha in the hospital right now cyberanger and been a while back
[22:11] <cyberanger> chris4585: I don't use any login manager (I install some, usually SLiM, seems a little more tweaker-friendly compared to kdm or gdm)
[22:11] <cyberanger> wrst: that time already? congrats!
[22:11] <wrst> chris4585 agree rocky or awn is better I think, but they have time
[22:11] <cyberanger> chris4585: it was a while ago ;-)
[22:12] <chris4585> cyberanger, ?
[22:12] <wrst> thanks.cyberanger inducing in the morning just getting started tonight
[22:12]  * wrst is making full use of quasseldroid
[22:13] <cyberanger> wrst: with DST you lost an hour of sleep, now your about to lose 5 more every night for awhile, you'll need a ton of luck to get sleep now
[22:13] <cyberanger> chris4585: when I showed wrst my desktop, as he said, a while ago
[22:14] <cyberanger> and SLiM is a login manager, extremely lightweight (for openbox, that's nice, no need for qt or gtk libs up the wazoo
[22:14] <cyberanger> GDM is the portion of gnome that does that, amoungst other tasks
[22:15] <cyberanger> and I just use startx or equavilant command
[22:15] <cyberanger> lxde-session (I think?) or so on
[22:15] <chris4585> cyberanger, oh right
[22:16] <chris4585> yes I know what slim is :)
[22:16] <chris4585> slim is nice
[22:16] <cyberanger> yeah, wicd-curses, alsamixer, vlc -I ncurses, and ssh mybox
[22:16] <cyberanger> not alot needing xorg here
[22:17] <cyberanger> speeds up boot at a hotspot, when all I want is to chat here
