[01:36] <_marx_> kernel level bug that affects many
[02:00] <Nivex> _marx_: indeed.  I think I may just leave my portables at lucid for the forseeable future
[02:01] <Nivex> I was hoping to get some of the SMP features (ext4 and network) to help performance on my netbook, but not at the expense of battery life
[02:08] <_marx_> i doubt i'll upgrade my main box
[02:08] <_marx_> desktop box
[02:08] <Nivex> I upgraded my media PC and my desktop
[02:08] <Nivex> to maverick that is.  Since they're not LTS I'll likely bring them up to natty
[02:09] <Nivex> though probably switching to XFCE in the process
[02:09] <_marx_> i'd like to try unity in a test space
[02:10] <Nivex> The fact that the vte Alt key bug still exists in maverick today pisses me off
[02:11] <_marx_> not familiar w/that
[02:12] <Nivex> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/619754
[02:12] <lubotu1> Launchpad bug 619754 in vte (Ubuntu) "alt + backspace; alt+d etc. don't work anymore" [High,Fix released]
[02:12] <_marx_> most of my stuff is pretty junky cobbled together
[02:13] <_marx_> hum alt + fx works fine in 10.10 and 11.04
[02:13] <_marx_> no X
[02:13] <Nivex> vte is the library that provides the terminal bits for (gnome|xf|lx)terminal
[02:13] <_marx_> ah
[02:14] <Nivex> so I've switched to using Konsole for the time being, but that has its own quirks which are annoying me
[02:14] <Nivex> I don't understand why that fix hasn't been pushed back into the main repo as a hotfix
[02:15] <Nivex> I shoudn't need a PPA to fix my gorram terminal emulator
[02:15] <_marx_> since i use those i've probably adapted w/o realizing there was a bug
[02:39] <_marx_> ohh gawd is my su pissed at her daughter
[02:40] <_marx_> we've been waiting to here when they'd be here for 36 hours; oh maybe tomorrow
[02:41] <_marx_> aye de me dude, she's with her new man, don't piss off mom
[02:42] <_marx_> especially when mom is a west by god viginia coal miners daughter
[02:44] <_marx_> if yall here a large explosion in the winston area tomorrow...the "kids" arrived
[11:56] <_marx_> oh ops!
[11:57] <_marx_> happy easter yall
[11:59] <_marx_> 5.04 to 11.04 six years of ubuntu for me
[11:59] <_marx_> just an end user
[12:00] <_marx_> JAEU, not a good acronym
[12:02] <_marx_> debian unstable
[12:14] <_marx_> between buttons on the wrong side and this unity stuff i'm liable to go back to deb and ian unstable
[12:16] <_marx_> but lots has happened over the last six years
[12:24] <_marx_> for one thing i made some nice arches over windows on a building that still hasn't sold one unit
[12:25] <_marx_> so that highly skilled work has no value
[12:34] <_marx_> ah shit, daughter is on phone w/su, not good...
[12:39] <_marx_> okay
[12:40] <_marx_> two west by god women fighting...i'll step aside
[12:40] <_marx_> this is a loco channel
[17:36] <_marx_> interesting; i had to switch to a much smaller monitor and now time display is broken on 10.10 gnome
[17:36] <_marx_> 12r,10 is all that shows
[17:38] <_marx_> no: 12r24, 10
[17:39] <_marx_> opening prefs cleared it
