chris4585nothing much, just read this, thought it was funny http://theoatmeal.com/blog/fix_computer04:12
wrstpretty good chris458504:13
wrstchris4585: i have yet to reinstall 11.04 i need to do that04:13
chris4585ah the joys of reinstalling..04:15
wrstwell haven't been in much of a hurry with arch and gnome 3 i'm pretty happy04:15
wrsti am waiting until gnome 3 hits the reg. repos of arch and going to reinstall my entire laptop, i did a fresh install of gnome3/arch today and there are some things that are a little smoother not coming from an upgrade04:16
chris4585there's only one small thing holding me back on unity, I made that icon that once a file is dropped on in unity it will call a script04:18
chris4585I'm not quite sure how I would even do that on gnome3...04:19
wrstme either gnome 3 isa little different  there are ways but not easy... yet04:19
wrstwell chris4585 i'mgoing to get to bed will catch you later, the baby is asleep and i'm going to attempt to do the same :)04:20

cyberangerso who's using natty now?19:56
cyberangerchibihogoshino: you around?19:56
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: you around?19:56
pace_t_zulucyberanger: sup19:57
cyberangerDue to all the damage in this area, and my luck to not be greatly affected19:57
cyberangerI dropped my rental for somebody who needs it more19:57
cyberangerand will not be heading to nashville tonight19:58
cyberangerI was able to help two people by doing that, two people who really needed it19:59
cyberangerif that storm didn't hit, I'd be going, figured this was best, stay local, help with the relif and so on19:59
cyberangersorry for the short notice19:59
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: ^20:00
cyberangerchibihogoshino: ^20:00
pace_t_zulucyberanger: no worries20:00
=== orias is now known as Dan9l86
cyberangerpace_t_zulu: any damage in your area?20:02
pace_t_zulucyberanger: not really20:02
cyberangerI don't think I've heard from chibihogoshino lately, hope he's ok20:02
=== Dan9l86 is now known as orias
cyberangerit's a mess here, it's been declared a disaster area, salvation army and red cross mobilized20:03
=== Dan9186 is now known as Dan9l86
cyberangerworse elsewhere I'm sure, but this isn't great here either20:03
=== Dan9l86 is now known as D4n9186
cyberangerI am liking Natty though20:04
=== D4n9186 is now known as D4n9l86
=== D4n9l86 is now known as Dan9186
cyberangerUnity however is awkward20:04
pace_t_zuluunity is off to a solid start20:05
cyberangermaybe I'll get used to it, but honestly I think I prefer something a little more like lxde20:06
cyberangerI mean, as far as the beta bugs and such, that has really excelled20:07
cyberangerbut it's something so different than what I've gotten used to, hard to say20:07
wrstcyberanger: i'm a gnome shell guy20:09
wrstand ubuntu does not do gnome shell well20:09
cyberangerwrst: yeah, arch or debian seem to be the two camps for that20:10
wrstyeah or fedora20:11
wrstF15 coming out with it soon20:11
cyberangerI've not heard of alot of use on fedora though20:11
wrstF15 is beta... i think still20:11
cyberangermore than opensuse though (which seems to be a KDE distro)20:11
wrstand a crappy distro20:12
wrstsorry cyberanger shouldn't have said that about opensuse but it is crappy20:12
cyberangerdoesn't hurt me20:12
cyberangerGo Debian.....................Errr, I mean Ubuntu >:-)20:13
wrstcyberanger: i love the underbelly of ubuntu but don't care for the gui20:14
wrstbecause ubuntu server makes things so easy for a halfway hack like me20:14
wrstand unity will eventually be fine but i think i would have went with gnome 320:14
cyberangerwrst: I use the alternate install, but goes more or less the same route as what your doing with the server disc20:15
cyberangerthey're so similar20:15
cyberangerand yeah, but if the underbelly is practially debian, it really makes me wonder20:16
cyberangerI need to see how much I use in main, universe and multiverse20:16
cyberangerand compare it to debian's main, contrib, and non-free20:17
wrstcyberanger: the ease of setup of certain things, but yes i agree20:17
cyberangerseems just as easy in debian honestly20:17
cyberangerI have to enable contrib and non-free, or I have to enable universe and multiverse20:18
cyberangerthat seems to be the major difference20:18
cyberangeridk if I'd ever say switch to debian (As a leader of the Ubuntu loco, I don't think I would, it doesn't quite feel right. but I could if I chose to)20:19
cyberangerbut I must wonder, where the real gain is20:19
cyberangeresp for us, liking gnome 3 over unity20:20
cyberangeror other sertups20:20
cyberangerI'm still using it and trying it out20:21
cyberangertrying to keep an open mind, like I did with crunchbang 2 years ago or so20:21
cyberangerbut it's not as easy, the flexability really sold me20:22
cyberangerwrst: have you used debian yet? in the same way your using the server install disc?20:23
cyberangerwrst: and how do you like gnome shell? I've not yet tried that one yet20:28
wrstcyberanger: love gnome shell and may give debian a try in a cm20:41
wrst*vm20:42
cyberangerwrst: it's worth it20:46
wrstfor a real server it can't be beat20:51
wrstcyberanger: you should try gnome shell I really like it20:52
cyberangerwrst: after unity21:24
cyberangerthat's the plan21:24
wrstunity just does not feel complete21:28
chibihogoshinoah cyberanger .. thats ok.. i kinda got a bit sick anyway21:28
cyberangerchibihogoshino: well, glad it works out for everyone21:29
cyberangerI kinda hate it, missing it21:30
chibihogoshinohope no one got to much damage21:30
cyberangerbut it is worthwhile to skip this one21:30
chibihogoshinoyeah21:30
cyberangeron mutiple reasons21:30
cyberangerI've not heard of anyone affected21:30
cyberangerbut that's meaningless21:30
chibihogoshinopeople are more important that software ..21:30
cyberangerthose affected are the ones that could not tell us21:31
chibihogoshinoi tree fell here.. but didnt hit anything21:31
cyberangerdue to phones, cable, celluar network damage21:31
chibihogoshinooh wait.. yeah, it hit the ground21:31
chibihogoshinono ham chatter or anything ?21:31
cyberangerwell, ham chatter doesnt cover all our members21:35
chibihogoshinoi meant storm damage or news about it21:36
cyberangerwell, to an extent21:41
cyberangermainstream has covered alot too21:41
cyberangerat this point21:41
chibihogoshinoahh21:47
cyberangerchibihogoshino: unfortunately, it has a downside of being very general21:49
cyberangerand death toll is huge enough21:49
cyberangerin that area, we should just wish that everyone stays well21:50
cyberangerhello mar7ar21:50
chibihogoshinowhat area was hit bad ?21:55
cyberangerwell, mutiple areas, but most everything I've heard for TN focuses on a radius of chattanooga21:56
cyberangerbradley county (here) is a real bad mess21:56
chibihogoshinoahh .. i didnt know it was that bad21:57
cyberangeryeah, I got lucky22:01
chibihogoshinogood to hear ..22:01
cyberangerhttp://www.newschannel9.com/news/cross-1000654-red-chattanooga.html22:02
cyberangerhttp://www.wrcbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1453341222:02
cyberangerthe unfortunate thing for bradley county is that area they're touring really isn't where they need to look22:03
mar7arhello22:04
mar7areverybody22:04
cyberangerareas around it took damage, but the road isn't really an issue22:04
cyberangermar7ar: how's it going22:04
mar7argood22:04
mar7arwho is using maverick?22:05
cyberangermar7ar: skipping over it for the most part22:07
cyberangerfrom lucid to natty, which was just released22:07
mar7arI want to remove dark desktop transition22:08
mar7arwho has a clue?22:08
cyberangerI don't follow22:09
cyberangerwhat is it your trying todo?22:10
mar7arwhen you move to another desktop the transition22:11
mar7aris dark22:11
mar7ari'm talking about the transition effect22:11
cyberangerwhat's your graphics card, it sounds like a desktop effect setting issue22:13
mar7ari ve tried to find a setting in compiz but in vain22:13
mar7arati radeon22:13
mar7arit's not about a real problem22:14
cyberangerdo you happen to know which drivers did you install?22:14
mar7arit's only a setting i can't find22:14
cyberangerI'm not a compiz user, not for a fair while22:15
cyberangerto me it sounds like a lag22:15
cyberangertoo much effects for too little machine22:16
cyberangerbut again, I've not used compiz too much in awhile22:16
mar7arubuntu conciliate between bice graphical effect & performance22:18
mar7arthis is really good22:19
