[01:15] alright... after party :D [01:17] more details to come :D [02:07] oh [02:16] hi [02:23] hey [02:23] there's going to be an after party at starbucks :) [02:24] tomorrow i'll be sending out an email about the details :) [02:24] EDIT: party rename "Natty Release/Install Party" [02:25] er... [02:25] "Natty Metro Area Release/Install Party" [02:27] cool :D [02:31] the email might be in the evening, gonna be busy in the afternoon [02:40] what the [02:42] heh [02:55] Hey all. [03:09] hey [03:10] freakin weather [03:11] agreed [03:11] snowing [03:15] i'm so horrible at math v.v [03:16] i understand it... [03:16] but i can never do it right [03:16] which math? [03:16] sounds easy in theory, but never in practice... [03:16] algebra >.< [03:16] i think i'm going to fail this course... [03:17] i need a more dedicated teacher... [03:17] have you looked at http://www.khanacademy.org/ [03:17] yea i have [03:17] I love math but had such a long rest from school it helped me thru calc [03:17] but this class is teaching things that khan academy doesn't cover [03:17] College Alegebra? [03:17] nah [03:17] like? [03:17] intermediate algebra [03:18] what kind of problems [03:18] i think what i just learned is complete bull math... [03:19] where you make the problem look like a quadratic equation, then solve for it [03:19] it's mostly stupid mistakes that i keep repeating [03:19] like not saying + or - the answer when taking a square root of x [03:20] oh I see. [03:20] so like i said... i understand it [03:20] just stupid mistakes all the time [03:21] idk... i can't wait to be in a smaller school [03:21] remember roots always have two answers at least, (well mostly) but sometimes only one root will make sense in the problem context. [03:21] yea i know [03:21] normandale doesn't give a damn about you [03:22] my roomie went there. he said the same thing. They put you in a Huge computer room? [03:22] a math gaggle of sorts [03:22] not to be confused with "you're not a priority" i mean like, they really don't give a damn about you [03:22] yea they do [03:22] it sucks so badly [03:22] then hand you a book, and let you learn it yourself [03:23] i don't get how the math teacher has a job [03:23] since he doesn't teach anything [03:24] what sucks is i can't withdraw... [03:24] so i have to just suck it up and do my best [03:24] well i hope all goes well fisch246 [03:24] which i'm doing currently [03:27] this dead pixel in the middle of my screen is really getting annoying... [03:43] weeeee [03:43] goat in the house [03:43] there is something you don't hear everyday. Or may your do in #ubuntu-us-mn [03:43] *maybe [03:46] mmmm hot cheetos and cola <3 [03:46] what area are you from? [03:48] klynch [03:49] Saint Paul [03:49] you? [03:54] welcome back fisch246 [03:55] klynch dakota county [03:55] o interesting [03:56] and this is why the after party won't be here -__- [03:56] nice [03:57] I will guess Rosemount [03:57] but yea there's going to be an after party [03:57] AV [03:57] :D [03:57] details will be in the email tomorrow night [03:58] That was my next guess. I used to be a waiter in applevalley [04:02] FloatingGoat: gonna try amnesia on windows [04:02] okay [04:02] since they only have a linux port, not a debian port >.< [04:02] binary files = fail [04:02] ill probably be apble to hear your screams of terror all the way from AV [04:02] XD [04:03] I bet amnesia would run good in wine [04:03] since its a linux compatible engine [04:03] o never thought of that... [04:04] although wine is slower than just running it in windows [04:04] o wait... [04:04] i have an nvidia driver on this comp.. [04:04] maybe it would work [04:05] what is amnesia [04:05] survival horror game [04:05] oh yeah [04:06] i hate this... single core on the comp with a video card... dual core on the comp that doesn't have a vid card >.< [04:06] lol [04:07] which i why i'm going to be building a comp when i get a job for this summer [04:08] o god... i'm upgrading to Win7 SP1 [04:08] >.< [04:09] o i just realized something [04:09] what? [04:09] if Steve Jobs retires this year... the next version of Mac OS after 10.7 will be 11 :O [04:10] how? [04:10] Max OS X was a vision of Steve Jobs... now that he'll be gone, it'll have a new vision, which means a whole new look... which means changes enough to be called 11 [04:11] Bill Gates leaves... and minimal Windows comes out... [04:11] (hasn't come out yet btw) [04:11] what is minimal windows? [04:11] Win8 [04:11] like i said it's not out yet [04:12] there... i'm now running win7 SP1 [04:12] hopefully it'll be better than XP SP3 >.< [04:13] wait... [04:13] lol [04:13] are you following? [04:13] SP = service pack [04:14] im running ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 :3 [04:14] a concept of Win8 was released awhile ago, that showed a very minimal look [04:14] yea i only use Ubuntu on my laptop [04:14] i might put XP on it, if worse comes to worse... [04:14] as in dual boot btw [04:15] if i had more space i'd triple boot also with arch haha [04:15] FloatingGoat: how you liking beta 2? [04:15] klynch: only got it so I can use the latest version of unity 2D [04:15] klynch: and I like it [04:16] ready for Unity 3D? [04:16] I'm waiting until 11.04 final so i can get all the good features :) [04:16] fisch246: cant use that [04:17] FloatingGoat: how come? it comes out April 28th [04:17] dont got proprietary drivers :) [04:17] neither do i [04:17] but i don't have a vid card either [04:18] can't i use 3D with a built in card? [04:20] nope [04:20] if you have a proprietary driver [04:20] maybe [04:20] it has to be of some sort of open GL compatability [04:20] hold on [04:21] prepare for herp, and some derp [04:21] so i can only use 2D? D: [04:22] compiz (unityshell) - Error: OpenGL 1.4+ not supported [04:23] im using a mixture of 2d and 3D right now [04:23] hm [04:23] i never had problems with the beta [04:23] I have the 3D window manager, but not the panel [04:23] is there a link that shows the differences? [04:26] not sure [04:27] http://youtu.be/zoUTBsL7M1s [04:27] i could do everything seen in this vid [04:28] unity might be good for you then [04:29] it fails to start for me :) [04:29] haha i never knew about the, drag to the side and it fills half the screen, function [04:29] that's a win7 feature haha [04:29] yeah i have that on 2D right now, it's not there regularly though [04:29] s/function/feature [04:30] it also has it if you drag to the corners ittl fill up a quarter of the screen [04:30] I think [04:30] o cool i hope so [04:31] o crap i didn't see if my download finished before i restarted... [04:32] i wonder how it will work with my theme [04:32] i might have to boot into gnome to change my theme [04:33] i've restarted windows twice in the last half-hour -__- [04:34] still haven't even gotten to the point of installing amnesia yet [04:36] lol [04:36] I made my ex girlfriend install it [04:36] haha [04:36] she cant even run it though ; _ ; [04:37] "Nah it's a gift from me to you. Totally not me trying to get back at you for dumping me" [04:39] heh... apparently i have a SPDIF port XD [05:30] it doesn't work very well on my comp [05:30] i got the water part, and i could hardly tell what was going on... [05:31] * Takyoji reads up [05:31] Heeeeh; I own and have completed all the games of Frictional Games (Penumbra series, and Amnesia) [05:32] i can't get amnesia to work right on any of my machines :/ [05:33] Takyoji: you are a real man my friend. [05:33] * Takyoji wonders how many have seen that one gameplay video of Amnesia. :P [05:33] What part of it isn't working for you? [05:34] Crashing when you reach certain rooms, or? [05:34] nah too slow [05:34] Or awkward graphics, or? [05:34] aww [05:34] doesn't work on Ubuntu at all [05:34] No graphics acceleration or? [05:34] idk i have a 6600 [05:34] GF [05:34] NVidia GeForce 6600GF? [05:35] Have the proprietary driver installed? [05:36] not that card [05:36] just a simple 6600 [05:37] is there a GF version? [05:37] i was referring to GeForce [05:37] GT [05:37] 6600GT [05:37] ah no [05:38] i tried the game on windows and ubuntu [05:38] Very low framerate, or stuttery, or? [05:38] windows is too slow, and on Ubuntu i get audio issues, and the game crashing [05:38] very low framreate [05:38] framerate* [05:39] For audio issues on Ubuntu, you must make sure you have your correct audio settings [05:39] In Sound Preferences, on the Hardware dialog, select the sound card, and what it's outputs are. [05:39] yea i only have 1 card selected [05:40] the other one is turned off cause it was horrible [05:40] But do you have the correct profile set for it? [05:40] i think so? [05:40] it works... it puts out sound [05:40] If you have the wrong one, you'll have "buzzy" or "crackily" for anything that uses OpenAL or whichever it is [05:40] but when i play the game the sound is cuts out every few seconds [05:41] also, have you turned down the game quality settings at all? [05:41] well the only way to fix it now, is it change the audio settings manually through a config file [05:41] and yea i did, to the point that i couldn't get into it at all [05:41] "to the point that I couldn't get into it at all" implying? [05:42] every at the lowest setting [05:42] everything* [05:42] and still ran, but not as you expected it to? [05:42] on windows... it ran... [05:42] but very slowly [05:42] no matter how low i set the settings [05:43] on Ubuntu it had sound issues [05:43] at this point it just crashes [05:43] Just crashes when you try opening it? [05:43] i have to set the audio manually through a config file so it won't crash anymore [05:44] however i gave up and tried windows instead... [05:44] but it's too slow [05:44] i really don't get why... the graphics are very dated... [05:44] even with the most up-to-date driver of it? [05:44] no idea [05:45] i have no idea how to use win7 >.> [05:45] i think it's far more complicated than Arch and Ubuntu combined... [05:45] for the sole reason that it holds my hand so much [05:45] http://amnesiagame.com/#demo [05:46] Because it says that graphics card series should be sufficient [05:46] it does a lot for you, with out ever telling you what it's doing [05:46] yea and i have a 3Ghz processor [05:46] on the desktop at least [05:47] o damn... [05:47] there's the problem [05:47] memory >.< [05:47] shoot me... [05:48] How much RAM do ye have? :P [05:48] 1GB >.< [05:48] but guess what [05:48] all slots full, or? [05:48] 4GB, dual core processor on my laptop [05:48] but no vid card [05:48] on my desktop, 1GB ram, single core processor, with a GF6600 [05:49] >.< [05:49] just enough to piss me off [05:49] the game required 2GB of ram [05:49] I suppose they could have optimized it to use less. xP [05:50] I think some of the model or level files are in XML. xP [05:51] i'd mention a certain saying that involves molestation of ones life... but i'm sure even the acronym might not be accepted here... [05:52] s/involves/invites [05:52] I might even go to the extent of buying the RAM for you. :P [05:52] i don't know if this motherboard will allow more RAM [05:53] What is the model? [05:53] i'll have to open it up, but it's quite old... [05:53] i'm gonna use the case and build a machine from scratch [05:53] Is it a prebuilt desktop? [05:53] no idea [05:53] i got it from someone [05:53] So it has no stickers then, or? :P [05:53] my grandpa since my last comp died on me and he was giving it away [05:54] yea no stickers, no business ident at all [05:54] there is an intel sticker on the front [05:54] could have been put on there though [05:55] 5 mins remaining till i close the facebook event [05:55] I usually, kindly, remove the "Made for Windows XP/Vista" labels. xP [05:55] stickers* [05:56] i did that on my laptop [05:56] i'm replacing it with a "Powered by Linux" and a "Powered by Ubuntu" sticker :3 [05:56] which i will be giving out at the party :) [05:57] From a different vendor than System76 I presume? [05:57] when i get a job, and especially when i get a career... i'll for sure put more money into the parties... [05:58] when i'm going to NHCC i'll try and get their support for 11.10 release [05:58] or we could collectively fund them. :P [05:58] yea true [05:58] whatever people want to do to help [05:58] kinda the point of this party... so everyone can meet each other, and so i can start getting this team off the ground :P [05:59] a common misconception about nerds, is that they don't like to go out [05:59] the truth is... they just don't relate to much of anything that's out there... [06:00] so when a nerd hears about an event just for them... they jump at it [06:00] i speak from experience [06:00] though i'm a neckbeard... the nerd of the nerds [06:01] party event is closed to further RSVP as of now [06:01] if you still wish to have interest, talk to me now before i go to bed [06:02] i'll also check my email before i order the stuff for the party [06:02] email: paul@mcspadden.net [06:05] wait... [06:05] jeff were you confirmed? [06:05] ahem... [06:05] FloatingGoat: [06:09] FloatingGoat: cause i have you down as maybe :/ [06:20] A total of 7 participants? [06:20] 9 or 10 [06:21] i need to update that list >.> [06:27] * tonyyarusso is doing taxes [06:29] * fisch246 pokes tonyyarusso [06:29] yes? [06:30] gonna accept my friend request anytime soon? [06:30] maybe... [06:30] Once I stop swimming in IRS forms perhaps. [06:31] fair enough [06:31] ok i'll let you do taxes once i run some stuff about the party past you [06:33] everyone is going to receive 2 stickers... one will say "Powered by Linux" and the other "Powered by Ubuntu"... there will be a drawing for a giant Tux plush toy... when we're done eating and talking we'll head to starbucks on the other side of highway 7 (optional for those wish to just head home) and have an install fest :) [06:35] sounds good [06:36] mmk :) [06:42] got banned from the macosx channel [06:42] hah [06:42] were you confirmed jeff? [06:43] not sure [06:43] ah ok no prob [06:43] just making sure [06:43] well make sure to confirm by next saturday :) [06:44] what do I do? [06:44] sorry i've been talking about why I dont like macs in the mac channel [06:45] seeing as stating my polite opinion of why I think ubuntu is the superior choice for average users, is grounds for kicking. [06:45] and banning [06:45] unjust rule [06:45] isn't it a support channel? [06:46] and you realize you represent people who use Ubuntu as soon as you mention you support it right? [06:46] i for one could care less how people view me >.> but it means less people will use Ubuntu, and less support for Ubuntu in the long run... [06:50] no [06:50] they asked me why [06:50] they asked me why [06:50] and then kicked me when I said it [06:50] uhhh [06:50] hold on [06:51] was it #macosx ? [06:52] heres one, whats not the right choice for average users? osx or linux/windows? [06:52] "really? why do you say that?" [06:53] Channels can have whatever rules they want, and it doesn't matter if they're "fair" or not. [06:55] FloatingGoat: i just went into #macosx and apologized for your actions [06:59] I can do that doo [06:59] too* [07:00] I was looking at one today [07:00] br tright back [07:04] lulz i'm providing Ubuntu support on a mac channel [07:10] I find it interesting that they asked me to talk about it. Even though I said I'd get kicked. They said "oh you wont get kicked" [07:10] But that's for appologizing [07:11] For me [07:12] How do I pm someone [07:14] stop PMing them please... [07:14] you rant on their channels... [07:14] you get banned [07:14] end of story [07:15] Ill have a word with my half friend who is an opposite there. He told me I wouldn't get kicked. [07:16] mmk [07:16] not sure what good it will do... [07:16] you don't like mac, so why go into the channel? [07:16] I like it there [07:17] Most of the time I don't mention Linux at all until its brought up. [07:18] I know one time I was asking if there was a possibility of xfce on Mac. And then later on branes said something really profound against linux users that I dare not repeat. [07:23] I wouldn't have said anything's tonight if they wouldn't have told me to. I sometimes take thing [07:23] Things very literal and logical [07:25] literal yes... [07:25] logically no... [07:27] Some reason I cant pm. Oh well [07:27] Yes you are right [07:27] Wormy word choice [07:27] Wrong * [07:32] Mind you I am still in macosx [07:32] ;)
