hot_wheelzikt crap isn't 11:27
iktyeah it's a bit bad11:28
ikti'm still reading11:29
ikt4 pages11:29
iktyeah it's quite bad especially for ubuntu11:29
iktas they no longer do netbook edition11:29
hot_wheelzit seems completely stupid to have a regression like that what are they thinking?11:32
hot_wheelzit will efect all distros because it's in the kernel right?11:33
head_victimikt: I wonder if the author filed a bug11:38
hot_wheelzhead_victim the author of the article you mean right?11:40
head_victimYeah11:40
head_victimOn an unrelated matter - http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_id=26427 a nice little android touchpad11:44

lubotu2Launchpad bug 760131 in linux (Ubuntu) "Power consumption raised significantly in natty" [Undecided,Confirmed]11:45
hot_wheelzlubotu2 do you think they will fix it?11:47
lubotu2Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)11:47
hot_wheelzsorry11:47
iktlol11:48
iktyeah they will fix it11:48
iktfrom what I can see 11.10 has nothing special in it11:48
head_victimhot_wheelz: depends on what is causing the issue, if it's required for some other thing to work I'd say not immediately, but if it's a simple "oh we put that check in the wrong box" it will be fixed pretty quick.11:48
iktit will mostly be about making unity tight11:48
head_victimikt: sounds like a reasonable goal though, update packages and get unity to a refined desktop11:49
ikthot_wheelz: also technically this isn't a buntu issue11:50
iktit's got to do with the kernel11:50
hot_wheelzikt yeah i know11:50
iktDuring the Linux 2.6.38 kernel development, a regression was introduced causing systems to burn through significantly more power.11:51
ikthead_victim: yeah it's a good plan11:51
iktthere have been a lot of regressions in .38 I've noticed11:51
head_victimikt: that is one expensive hard drive11:51
head_victimOn the ML11:51
iktyup11:51
iktbut speed is obscene11:52
iktyou could get a 4TB drive11:52
iktthat if you drop you lose 4TB worth of data11:52
head_victimOnly if you don't backup11:52
hot_wheelzbut it should be fixed eventually right11:53
head_victimhot_wheelz: something like that would definitely be being looked at.11:53
hot_wheelzcool\11:57
ikti'm surprised they didn't catch this during the rc's12:05
hot_wheelzikt me too12:10
hot_wheelzgtg guys catchya12:14
