munz_yay! figured it out!03:44
munz_werk__morning! friday :D13:14
mhall119morning13:15
munz_werk__hey mhall119, do you like unity?13:16
mhall119It's nice, I can probably adjust13:17
mhall119either that or I'll switch to Xfce13:17
munz_werk__yea, i'm trying to give it a good try13:17
mhall119or maybe it's time I get snobbish and switch to FluxBox13:17
munz_werk__lol13:17
mhall119there's been an amazing about of work done to Unity in 6 months13:18
mhall119I'm sure it'll be even more polished by 11.1013:18
mhall119but there's still some parts that don't feel natural to me13:18
mhall119the dash, specifically, doesn't feel useful at all13:19
munz_werk__yea i feel the same13:19
munz_werk__i did not like that xchat would disappear in the tray but i fixed it by white listing it13:19
mhall119nobody's made an xchat message indicator yet?13:19
munz_werk__guess not13:20
munz_werk__after the white listing it shows up right13:20
mhall119try apt-get install xchat-indicator13:20
munz_werk__drop box too13:20
munz_werk__ohh ok13:20
mhall119yeah, Unity is trying to do away with systray, and move everything to indicators13:20
mhall119xchat-indicator should put an xchat entry into the messaging icon's menu13:21
munz_werk__do you know why? logically.13:21
munz_werk__ill try the xchat-indicator tonight when i get back home to my 11.0413:22
maxolasersquadI've been forcing myself to use Unity, but I feel relieved when I come into work and have Gnome 2 available for me again.13:37
munz_werk__that sums up how i feel13:37
munz_werk__i'm only running it on my asus netbook now13:38
maxolasersquadI really like to see the Software Center continue to improve.  I'd like to see them put all the functionality of Synaptic and update-manager in there and then remove them.13:39
munz_werk__maxolasersquad, i agree13:55
mhall119munz_werk__: from what I hear, the systray was always an ugly hack14:19
munz_werk__ok14:19
maxolasersquadI've discovered that I am starting to be annoyed evertime something decides to put itself in the systray.14:22
maxolasersquadDropbox and easystroke are the two that I have demanding a presence in the systray.14:22
munz_werk__yea, normally dont like a bunch of stuff in the tray but i do like to hit the x on xchat and have it go to the tray14:24
munz_werk__that was my only issue w/it14:25

munz_werk__cool16:09
tiemonsterI just wanted to play with Unity16:10
munz_werk__yea, i'v been trying to like it16:10
munz_werk__not sure yet, but atleast i can use "ubuntu classic" if i endup disliking it16:11
tiemonsterfor day-to-day operations, I have a hard policy of only running LTS releases16:11
munz_werk__good policy16:12
munz_werk__im 10.04 @ work, home server, and main laptop, my eee is 10.10 and 11.0416:13
munz_werk__dont think i had any complaints about 10.10, but 11.04 and unity.... not sure16:16
mhall119munz_werk__: use it consistently for a week before you make any final judgement16:30
mhall119also, they just landed a bunch of fixes and features last night16:30
munz_werk__mhall119, thats my goal, i dont want to be that guy that hates it b/c its different so i plan on using it at the least till after the RC16:35
munz_werk__i also keep updating daily16:35
munz_werk__to stay fresh :)16:35
mhall119munz_werk__: there won't be an RC this cycle16:36

munz_werk__ok16:36
munz_werk__then i will run at least till after final release :)16:37
crashsystemsI'm loving 11.0416:37
tiemonsterI keep looking for the maximize button on the left-hand side in Windows ;-)16:37
mhall119tiemonster: it's still there16:37
mhall119oh, in MS Windows16:37
crashsystemslol16:37
mhall119yeah, I did that too16:38
tiemonsteryeah - I run Win 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 side-by-side16:38
crashsystemsFunny how everyone is used to it now, and not to long ago it was all "shuttleworth eats babies because of buttons on the left" and all.16:39
mhall119lol16:39
munz_werk__lol16:39
mhall119I've actually found that I use keyboard shortcuts now16:39
crashsystemsthe unity shortcuts?16:39
mhall119regular metacity/compiz shortcuts16:40
mhall119which still work in Unity16:40
crashsystemsI'm really liking meta+[number]. It has mostly replaced alt-tab for me.16:40
mhall119the one thing I don't like is super+T16:41
crashsystemswhat does that do?16:41
mhall119opens the trash16:41
mhall119but I've had it set to open terminal for a couple of years now16:41
crashsystemsI've got one of those drop-down terminals, and have it set to the menu key16:42
maxolasersquad The super button is broken in Unity because it can only be used for the sidebar.16:49
maxolasersquadI am so used to using super+spacebar to open gnome-do.16:49
maxolasersquadAnd always so sad when nothing happens.16:49
munz_werk__ COOOOOL super key shortcuts are cool :)16:50
munz_werk__is there a guide or some such?16:51
maxolasersquadmunz_werk__: In Natty or before?16:53
munz_werk__natty16:53
munz_werk__never really used those shortcuts before16:54
crashsystemshttp://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-ubuntu-unity-keyboard-shortcuts.html16:54
maxolasersquadWith Unity just hit Super and then the number of the application on the left.16:54
maxolasersquadI think that's all there is to it.16:54
crashsystemsthere is more16:54
maxolasersquadAlt-F2 has much of the gnome-do functionality.  I'd like to see it have all of the functionality.16:55
=== bleeber_away is now known as bleeber
crashsystemsI've uninstalled gnome-do since upgrading.16:55
maxolasersquadCool, thanks crashsystems.16:56
munz_werk__cool crashsystems that was what i was looking for16:56
maxolasersquadtiemonster: I have the same policy.  My work machine, primary home machine, and home pc at home are on 10.04.  My laptop is on 11.04.  My daughter's machine is on 10.10.17:14
tiemonsterI found a machine the other day running 8.04. Old trusty.17:28
tiemonsterserver, though. big difference.17:28
crashsystemsI was in Microcenter (local large electronics store) last week and saw one of their employee workstations running Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.17:29

crashsystemsthere are a number of people from the florida team who have moved out here17:45
munz_werk__i noticed a few17:46
munz_werk__did you find the job then move?17:46
crashsystemswell, 'find' is not quite the word I would choose, but yes.17:47
crashsystemsI had been looking for a job, and a friend who recently had gotten a job here told me about it and gave the department manager my resume.17:47
