[04:00] wb cyberanger! [04:11] hey wrst [04:11] hey chris4585 what's up? [04:12] nothing much, just read this, thought it was funny http://theoatmeal.com/blog/fix_computer [04:13] pretty good chris4585 [04:13] chris4585: i have yet to reinstall 11.04 i need to do that [04:15] ah the joys of reinstalling.. [04:15] well haven't been in much of a hurry with arch and gnome 3 i'm pretty happy [04:16] i 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 upgrade [04:18] there'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 script [04:19] I'm not quite sure how I would even do that on gnome3... [04:19] me either gnome 3 isa little different there are ways but not easy... yet [04:20] well 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] cya wrst, g'night [04:20] night chris4585 [04:22] wrst: hey, how's it going [12:34] o/ [15:12] o/ [16:22] morning [16:30] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/control-totem-by-clapping-no-seriously/ [19:56] so who's using natty now? [19:56] chibihogoshino: you around? [19:56] pace_t_zulu: you around? [19:57] cyberanger: sup [19:57] Due to all the damage in this area, and my luck to not be greatly affected [19:57] I dropped my rental for somebody who needs it more [19:58] and will not be heading to nashville tonight [19:59] I was able to help two people by doing that, two people who really needed it [19:59] if that storm didn't hit, I'd be going, figured this was best, stay local, help with the relif and so on [19:59] sorry for the short notice [20:00] pace_t_zulu: ^ [20:00] chibihogoshino: ^ [20:00] cyberanger: no worries === orias is now known as Dan9l86 [20:02] pace_t_zulu: any damage in your area? [20:02] cyberanger: not really [20:02] I don't think I've heard from chibihogoshino lately, hope he's ok === Dan9l86 is now known as orias [20:03] it's a mess here, it's been declared a disaster area, salvation army and red cross mobilized === Dan9186 is now known as Dan9l86 [20:03] worse elsewhere I'm sure, but this isn't great here either === Dan9l86 is now known as D4n9186 [20:04] I am liking Natty though === D4n9186 is now known as D4n9l86 === D4n9l86 is now known as Dan9186 [20:04] Unity however is awkward [20:05] unity is off to a solid start [20:06] maybe I'll get used to it, but honestly I think I prefer something a little more like lxde [20:07] I mean, as far as the beta bugs and such, that has really excelled [20:07] but it's something so different than what I've gotten used to, hard to say [20:09] cyberanger: i'm a gnome shell guy [20:09] and ubuntu does not do gnome shell well [20:10] wrst: yeah, arch or debian seem to be the two camps for that [20:11] yeah or fedora [20:11] F15 coming out with it soon [20:11] I've not heard of alot of use on fedora though [20:11] F15 is beta... i think still [20:11] more than opensuse though (which seems to be a KDE distro) [20:12] and a crappy distro [20:12] sorry cyberanger shouldn't have said that about opensuse but it is crappy [20:12] doesn't hurt me [20:13] Go Debian.....................Errr, I mean Ubuntu >:-) [20:14] cyberanger: i love the underbelly of ubuntu but don't care for the gui [20:14] because ubuntu server makes things so easy for a halfway hack like me [20:14] and unity will eventually be fine but i think i would have went with gnome 3 [20:15] wrst: I use the alternate install, but goes more or less the same route as what your doing with the server disc [20:15] they're so similar [20:16] and yeah, but if the underbelly is practially debian, it really makes me wonder [20:16] I need to see how much I use in main, universe and multiverse [20:17] and compare it to debian's main, contrib, and non-free [20:17] cyberanger: the ease of setup of certain things, but yes i agree [20:17] seems just as easy in debian honestly [20:18] I have to enable contrib and non-free, or I have to enable universe and multiverse [20:18] that seems to be the major difference [20:19] idk 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] but I must wonder, where the real gain is [20:20] esp for us, liking gnome 3 over unity [20:20] or other sertups [20:21] I'm still using it and trying it out [20:21] trying to keep an open mind, like I did with crunchbang 2 years ago or so [20:22] but it's not as easy, the flexability really sold me [20:23] wrst: have you used debian yet? in the same way your using the server install disc? [20:28] wrst: and how do you like gnome shell? I've not yet tried that one yet [20:41] cyberanger: love gnome shell and may give debian a try in a cm [20:42] *vm [20:46] wrst: it's worth it [20:51] for a real server it can't be beat [20:52] cyberanger: you should try gnome shell I really like it [21:24] wrst: after unity [21:24] that's the plan [21:28] unity just does not feel complete [21:28] ah cyberanger .. thats ok.. i kinda got a bit sick anyway [21:29] chibihogoshino: well, glad it works out for everyone [21:30] I kinda hate it, missing it [21:30] hope no one got to much damage [21:30] but it is worthwhile to skip this one [21:30] yeah [21:30] on mutiple reasons [21:30] I've not heard of anyone affected [21:30] but that's meaningless [21:30] people are more important that software .. [21:31] those affected are the ones that could not tell us [21:31] i tree fell here.. but didnt hit anything [21:31] due to phones, cable, celluar network damage [21:31] oh wait.. yeah, it hit the ground [21:31] no ham chatter or anything ? [21:35] well, ham chatter doesnt cover all our members [21:36] i meant storm damage or news about it [21:41] well, to an extent [21:41] mainstream has covered alot too [21:41] at this point [21:47] ahh [21:49] chibihogoshino: unfortunately, it has a downside of being very general [21:49] and death toll is huge enough [21:50] in that area, we should just wish that everyone stays well [21:50] hello mar7ar [21:55] what area was hit bad ? [21:56] well, mutiple areas, but most everything I've heard for TN focuses on a radius of chattanooga [21:56] bradley county (here) is a real bad mess [21:57] ahh .. i didnt know it was that bad [22:01] yeah, I got lucky [22:01] good to hear .. [22:02] http://www.newschannel9.com/news/cross-1000654-red-chattanooga.html [22:02] http://www.wrcbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=14533412 [22:03] the unfortunate thing for bradley county is that area they're touring really isn't where they need to look [22:04] hello [22:04] everybody [22:04] areas around it took damage, but the road isn't really an issue [22:04] mar7ar: how's it going [22:04] good [22:05] who is using maverick? [22:07] mar7ar: skipping over it for the most part [22:07] from lucid to natty, which was just released [22:08] I want to remove dark desktop transition [22:08] who has a clue? [22:09] I don't follow [22:10] what is it your trying todo? [22:11] when you move to another desktop the transition [22:11] is dark [22:11] i'm talking about the transition effect [22:13] what's your graphics card, it sounds like a desktop effect setting issue [22:13] i ve tried to find a setting in compiz but in vain [22:13] ati radeon [22:14] it's not about a real problem [22:14] do you happen to know which drivers did you install? [22:14] it's only a setting i can't find [22:15] I'm not a compiz user, not for a fair while [22:15] to me it sounds like a lag [22:16] too much effects for too little machine [22:16] but again, I've not used compiz too much in awhile [22:18] ubuntu conciliate between bice graphical effect & performance [22:19] this is really good
