rick_h__gah!01:14
rick_h__Blazeix: heard much on the arch stable-ing out?01:20
Blazeixrick_h__: tough to tell, I'm pretty pissed that they moved from gtk2 to gtk3.01:21
rick_h__my boss made the switch this weekend01:22
rick_h__next day gnome301:22
Blazeixsince there's only one gtk3 theme out there, you're going to lose your look/feel, assuming gtk factors into it.01:22
rick_h__he hopped on IM there and was just "talk about bad timing!"01:22
Blazeixyeah, luckily I use chrome/rxvt pretty much exclusively01:22
rick_h__yea, fortunately I've not gone gtk for much of anything at this point, though I know chrome/firefox pay some attention to it01:22
Blazeixso it isn't too bad, but chrome is ugly01:23
rick_h__ugh01:23
rick_h__bah, keep failing to install this pencil package as well01:23
Blazeixthis is the default look for nautilus now: http://frabjous.ath.cx/files/upload/nautilus-adwaita.png01:23
Blazeixmakes my eyes bleed. That's how it's supposed to look.01:23
rick_h__giant!01:23
rick_h__yea, I've been a long time thunar user01:23
Blazeixyeah, thunar looks terrible now, since I don't think there's an xfce/gtk3 integration01:24
rick_h__ugh01:24
rick_h__yea, I used to use lxappearance to help with my apps that listen to gtk stuff01:24
rick_h__guessing that's out the window01:24
Blazeixyeah, there's gnome-tweak-tool, and a config file you can edit to tweak stuff01:25
Blazeixgnome-tweak-tool will crash if you don't have gnome-shell installed, though.01:25
rick_h__the shots I've seen of the gnome3 desktop though is quite horrid01:25
BlazeixThe whole thing just feels very raw.01:25
rick_h__welcome to OSS in 201101:25
rick_h__these are the times that test us...01:25
Blazeixit's almost enough to make me switch to a Qt desktop01:26
Blazeixalmost01:26
rick_h__so I wonder how this is in ubuntu/unity land01:26
rick_h__that's gtk3 right?01:26
Blazeixnot sure01:26
rick_h__wonder how other apps look with it01:26
Blazeixactually, I'm not sure if it's gtk301:27
rick_h__bah, this sucks. Can't get the app to install so do I sign up for a web service or not, that is the question01:28
snap-lUnity is still gtk201:29
jjessejust switch all to kubuntu and your life will be better01:30
snap-lYeah, after all, once the baby is out, who needs bathwater?01:31
rick_h__dammit, and twitter guys by client I finally like01:32
rick_h__the world is full of suck today01:32
snap-lWhich client?01:32
rick_h__tweetdeck01:32
snap-lBrillant. ;)01:32
snap-lWell, look on the bright side: it'll be supported the rest of it's life01:33
rick_h__wonder if I can get single use CC nubmers for my debit card01:33
rick_h__man I don't trust anyone right now01:33
snap-lwhether if that's tomorrow or two years from now is anybody's guess. :)01:33
rick_h__@#$@#% and chase is down? wtf people01:33
BlazeixI hear HP just bought lenovo, too.01:34
Blazeixand all tiling window managers are halting development01:35
greg-gwha?01:35
snap-lrick_h__: Time for the hermit life01:35
Blazeixgreg-g: not actually01:35
Blazeixgreg-g: just painting rick_h__'s worst nightmare01:35
greg-gBlazeix: that's what I get for only switching over to this desktop and just reading one line of scroll back01:35
Blazeixheh01:35
rick_h__I'm going into depression/the bunker01:35
rick_h__sony hacked a freaking gain01:35
snap-lHP buys Lenovo, Awesome stops development, and work mandates that everyone uses OSX01:35
rick_h__packages won't install, want to use a single use CC number for my debit card, but bank website is down and don't htink they support it01:36
snap-lIncluding the servers01:36
rick_h__oh hell, now you're just doing crazy talk01:36
snap-lrick_h__: What packages are you installing that require a debit card?01:36
rick_h__pencil install fails, so signing up for http://gomockingbird.com01:37
rick_h__oh lovely, if I was a mid-sized business chase would give me a single use account number01:37
snap-lrick_h__: I'm sorry... I'm really sorry01:37
rick_h__but not little ole me01:37
snap-l(that's what Doctor Who says before the other shoe drops"01:38
rick_h__that's it, emailing them I want a paypal option since I don't trust them with my CC number01:38
Blazeixrick_h__: will the AUR pencil-svn package not work?01:38
rick_h__Blazeix: no, build fails and not sure why tbh01:39
rick_h__trace isn't clear to me on what's failing/missing01:39
snap-lrick_h__: http://ubuntuone.com/p/qG5/ <- I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.01:39
snap-lWhat exactly is pencil supposed to do anyway?01:40
rick_h__oh interesting, I missed that it was FF based01:40
rick_h__that's probably it, sayhs ff3.501:40
rick_h__snap-l: mockup tool01:41
rick_h__I need to mock some bookie ui layouts01:41
snap-lI don't think Pencil is what you're looking for01:41
snap-lThis appears to be a 2D animation tool01:42
rick_h__http://pencil.evolus.vn/en-US/Home.aspx01:43
rick_h__yea, wrong thing01:43
snap-lJesus, how many of these damn things are out there?01:44
snap-lI've seen three, two of which were $8001:44
snap-lall web-based.01:44
snap-lAnd it was at this moment that snap-l realized why that was, and snuck back to the rock to which he craweld from.01:46
rick_h__huh?01:46
snap-lYou're mocking up web-based interfaces, no?01:46
snap-lSo, naturally, you'd want something web-based. ;)01:46
rick_h__well I am, but mocking is just mocking01:47
rick_h__ColonelPanic001: you're needed in #bookie01:47
snap-lNuts, I think I cooked a motion sensor because I didn't understand how to hook it up right04:08
greg-gg'morning13:21
rick_h__party13:22
rick_h__lots of $5 albums on amazon mp3 land13:22
rick_h__woo! new music to start the new day13:22
wolfgerparty13:28
wolfgerbut don't let snap-l hear that you're using and enjoying Amazon MP3.... :-)13:28
rick_h__hah, how can I use ubuntu one? I don't run ubuntu :P13:31
snap-l!openmetalcast 20, recorded live at !penguicon. 19 people saw what went in, but nobody heard what came out. http://ur1.ca/42oc4 Scary!13:33
snap-lwolfger: I prefer Ubuntu One because of the syncing. There's no question that Amazon has better sales.13:34
snap-lrick_h__: It's only a matter of time before you're back to Ubuntu. ;)13:34
rick_h__heh, why sync, I've bought 10 albums and not downloaded one :)13:34
snap-lrick_h__: Because I like having my music not suddenly vanish. ;)13:35
snap-lY'know... like a cloud on a windy day.13:35
rick_h__snap-l: they also have a new feature, it'll auto download13:36
rick_h__When you save your Amazon MP3 purchases to Cloud Drive, you can download new purchases from Cloud Drive to this computer automatically.13:36
rick_h__This setting is unique to each of your computers and must be set from Your Account > Your Amazon MP3 Settings from each computer. This setting can also be set for your Android device.13:36
snap-lAh, cool.13:36
rick_h__boom!13:36
rick_h__:P13:36
snap-lMay consider using it again13:36
snap-lHEy, that was my biggest beef. If they fixed it, I'm settled.13:36
rick_h__not that I don't like supporting my canonical buddies, but sorry...13:36
rick_h__snap-l: the big thing is that U1 would do better sycning your existing stuff13:37
rick_h__uploading your stuff to cloud drive is a bit of a pita13:37
snap-lYeah, u1 needs to excell in that areal13:39
snap-lBah, where'd that extra l come from13:39
jjessethe amazon mp3 player is pretty cool use it on my android all the time13:42
jjesseuploaded my running music playlist to it, and then use the mp3 + my tracks when i run13:42
jjessemp3 player pauses when my tracks announces my time13:43

jrwrenit was only 150 yrs ago.21:43
jrwrenStandard Time didn't come into existence until rail travel necessitated it.21:43
jrwrenand people did it according to the town tower. That is why towns had clock towers.21:43
snap-lShe just got a pocket watch, so that's where the question came up21:44
jrwrentell her to find a town clock tower.21:44
jrwrenmine is at ntp.ubuntu.com :)21:44

snap-lThere is no reason I should have to set the Wii's clock manually21:47
TeamXlinkIs there a way to use two power supplies to power *one* graphics card? If so would this solve the problem of a lower then recommended power supply? My power supply is a 250 watt and It is powering the motherboard and graphics card, I have another 250 watt power supply powering all of the fans and drives. I've disabled the pci slots, serial port, parelle port, mouse * keyboard port to save po21:51
TeamXlinkwer (I'm unsure if that made a difference or not however).21:52
snap-lTeamXlink: Um...21:52
snap-lWhere oh where to begin...21:53
TeamXlinkIts amps that matter though right?21:53
TeamXlinkMore then watts?21:53
snap-lWell, let's just say if you're running two power supplies, and still not getting enough juice, that's indicative that there might be something else wrong21:54
snap-lI guess my first question would be what prompted you to think you need more power for the vid card?21:54
TeamXlinkThe recommended specifications and results of online searches.21:54
jrwrendoes the video card have a separate power input?  and you are using it on the secondary PS?21:55
jrwrenif it is a beefy enough video card, it is likely you don't have enough power.21:55
jrwren250W is very little.21:55
snap-lWell, it's also likely you don't have the right connector either21:56
jrwrenalso, the Vid Card spec should say how much it needs on the 5V rail.21:56
TeamXlinksnape-I: And the auto tune in the ati overdrive underclocks my graphics card due to insufficent power, or thats the reason I think it does that.21:56
TeamXlinkThe graphics card has a 4 pin connector on it that is plugged into the power supply that is powering the motherbard and graphics card21:57
snap-lRight, OK.21:57
snap-lSo it's drawing power from the Mobo and this separate cable?21:57
TeamXlinkYes.21:58
TeamXlinkjrwren: I'll go fetch the link for you.21:58
snap-lYeah, I think you're not going to be easily able to drive that with two PS units.21:58
TeamXlinkIt says 1.5v for agp4x21:59
jrwrenwhat kind of card?21:59
jrwrenAGP??/ zomg, ancient, how much power can it need?21:59
TeamXlinkhttp://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-HD3650-Video-100258L/dp/B001L62INY21:59
TeamXlinkIt is a 8x agp card but supports 4x agp22:00
TeamXlinkThe fan on the one that arrived is different then the fan in the first pic, it looks like this one http://ec5.images-amazon.com/images/I/2185DP%2BbquL.jpg but it keeps temperatures realtively low.22:00
jrwren300W min.22:01
snap-lyeah22:01
jrwrenso I'd try pluging the secondary power supply into the 4pin22:01
TeamXlinkMine has 2 dvi ports as well I just noticed.22:01
TeamXlinkAlright.22:01
jrwrenmaybe it will balance some from mobo and some from secondary22:01
TeamXlinkBut that one is powering all of the other devices?22:01
jrwrenbut its a gamble.22:01
jrwrenwhat "other devices" ?22:01
jrwrendrives dont' pull much.22:01
snap-ljrwren: Newer drives don't. ;)22:02
TeamXlinkHard drive 4 case fans22:02
snap-lI used to have some 150MB Wren drives that needed a separate case / PSU to run. ;)22:02
jrwreni don't know about fans, but given they are just electric motors like a hard drive, its going to be nearly nothing.22:02
jrwrensnap-l: right.22:02
jrwrennot just "newer drives"22:02
TeamXlinkIt is filling the space where the disc drives would go so I don't have any disc drives installed unfortuenataly.22:02
jrwrenbut anything even remotely modern.22:02
snap-ljrwren: Yeah, just reminded me of that case.22:03
TeamXlinkIt is a 60gb Western Digital WDC WD600BB-75CAA022:03
snap-lTeamXlink: Yeah, you should be fine22:04
jrwrenTeamXlink: anything made within the last 15 yrs is going to be fine and draw very little power.22:04
TeamXlinkAlright thank you.22:04
TeamXlinkI eventually want to either get a power supply I can use for everything or find another way to mount the extra powersupply, using my drives in an external drive usb setup is vary slow. and I still haven't found a way to use the floppy drive as well.22:05
jrwrenone of 'em is a 60G... you could get a 2TB and a 400W seasonic for well under $15022:06
TeamXlinkThats more then I payed for the computer, lol22:06
TeamXlinkThe computer was originally a Dell Optiplex GX 260, but the only thing left of that setup is the case and motherboard, everything else is different.22:07
jrwrenold stuff is a bummer.22:09
TeamXlinkIts not that old.22:09
TeamXlinkThe graphics card is miles better then my old one.22:10
TeamXlinkThe only thing I don't like about it is the ram setup.22:10
TeamXlinkIt has a maximum of 1gb of ram.22:10
jrwrenancient.22:11
TeamXlinkThe processor isn't stock either I just realized, the one I have is a 2 ghz.22:13
TeamXlinkThank you for the help everyone!22:13
TeamXlinkhmmm.22:15
TeamXlinkDells specs about the ram limit are different then the specs elsewhere on the internet.22:15
TeamXlinkMaybe it was changed in a bios upgrade.22:15
TeamXlinkYeah it is 2gb, sweet!22:21
TeamXlinkI have a question though.22:21
TeamXlinkI have 3 x 1gb ram chips that wouldn't fit the slots in my computer however they work on the family computer, I still don't know what the differences are though.22:22
TeamXlinkI think my computer requires ddr while the other one requires ddr222:22
TeamXlinkhttp://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx260/en/ug/specs.htm#1110653 http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dime521/en/sm_en/specs.htm  would any ddr ram work?22:23
jrwrenany DDR1.22:23
TeamXlinkAlright, sweet thank you!22:25
TeamXlinkI'm going to post an add on craigslist to see if I can trade the 1gb ddr2 chips for 1gb ddr1 chips.22:26
TeamXlinkThank you everyone for the help again!22:26
MilyardoWHats with some people and blind hostility towards Mono?23:35
brouschmono is the evil spawn of that sell-out miguel de icaza and steve ballmer23:37
brouschno good can come from such a union23:37
MilyardoNot sure about how Ballmer is involved, but Miguel is nicest guy23:38
brouschi was just channeling the haters23:39
brouschthe hostility comes from mono being based on a microsoft product23:43
Milyardolike WINE?23:44
MilyardoWhere's the Alexander hate then?23:44
brouschwine is more trying to find a way around microsoft23:44
brouschmono embrasses the microsoft23:44
brouschembraces23:45
brouschwine is a hackish way of fighting the man. mono acknowledges that MS has something worthwhile23:45
MilyardoNot sure if I see how reimplementing .NET isn't any less finding a way around MS as say OpenJDK reimplementing Java23:46
Milyardo*and finding away around Sun/Oracle23:46
brouschacknowledging sun has something worthwhile is much more acceptable than MS23:47
MilyardoWhat about Samba then?23:47
brouschhackish23:48
brouschyou're looking at this far too logically to understand the haters23:48
MilyardoI'm trying and failing23:48
brouschMS is the great devil23:51
brouschanything provided by MS is evil23:51
brouschso happily accepting and embracing their technology makes you evil23:52
brouschpeople only use samba because their boss makes them work with windows computers23:53
brouschpeople use wine because they want to play games on linux23:53
