| JonathanD | Hi rmg51 | 10:57 |
| JonathanD | and teddy-dbear of course. | 10:57 |
| teddy-dbear | o/ | 10:58 |
| JonathanD | slow morning, rmg51 | 12:48 |
| andrew | morning | 12:54 |
| toggles | bacon | 13:09 |
| JonathanD | hello andrew, toggles | 13:15 |
| InHisName | toggles: Buy everything bacon here http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/bacon/ | 13:50 |
| PennBot | Title: ThinkGeek :: Caffeine & Edibles :: Bacon (at www.thinkgeek.com) | 13:50 |
| toggles | mmmm bacon.. how i miss thee... | 13:53 |
| andrew | Hrm... | 14:07 |
| andrew | mission accomplished | 14:08 |
| andrew | ccsm -> unity plugin -> (super -> shift+super) | 14:08 |
| andrew | now gnome-do works again (super+space) | 14:08 |
| andrew | and I can lock the screen with super+l | 14:09 |
| toggles | mission accomplished would be getting gnome-3 installed | 14:11 |
| andrew | True | 14:29 |
| andrew | but until then | 14:29 |
| andrew | I also like that I can finally choose the "Span" option for desktop wallpaper | 14:29 |
| InHisName | what is a "Span" option, andrew ? | 14:33 |
| andrew | InHisName: When one has a dual-screen setup, it's nice to be able to have one image spanned across both screens, enabling the use of wallpapers like: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/Df79dcc3/01120_mossbraefalls2_3360x1050.jpg | 14:37 |
| InHisName | Kewwwwwl | 14:37 |
| InHisName | Have you tried taking your own big pictures like that one ? There is a waterfall north of Doylestown that could look pretty spiffy in one of those long pictures. | 14:39 |
| andrew | InHisName: This was my 3-screen wallpaper for a while: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahotw/4632293571/ | 14:49 |

| andrew | There's also this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahotw/4632292769/ | 14:49 |
| PennBot | Title: Sunfish Lake | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (at www.flickr.com) | 14:49 |
| InHisName | I like the first one better, but 2nd is pretty nice too. | 14:50 |
| andrew | InHisName: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahotw/tags/panorama/ | 14:50 |
| PennBot | Title: Flickr: ahotw's stuff tagged with panorama (at www.flickr.com) | 14:50 |
| andrew | InHisName: a few more there ^ | 14:52 |
| InHisName | the snowy one has some character but doesn't trim well to rectangle. I still like st one best so far.... | 14:53 |
| andrew | snowy one? | 14:54 |
| InHisName | No snow just jagged white space below rocks. | 14:55 |
| andrew | Seneca? | 14:55 |
| InHisName | Could be, I used to hang out around there 35 years ago cave exploring alot. | 14:56 |
| andrew | Those photos have names | 14:57 |
| andrew | one says "seneca" | 14:57 |
| InHisName | So I see now | 14:57 |
| andrew | I'll most likely have a chance to redo that photo this summer | 14:57 |
| InHisName | If you catch a blue sky day, I may want a copy too. | 14:58 |
| andrew | I'm planning on spending a few days in the area, so we'll see | 14:59 |
| andrew | My brother is Interning a few miles away this summer | 14:59 |
| InHisName | Well maybe do it on a cloudy day for comparison. Greens maybe lots better on cloudy days. | 15:00 |
| InHisName | I found the rainy wet miseralble biking camping days had the most gorgeous greens ever, If I could remember to lift my head up and look now and then. | 15:01 |
| andrew | I've tagged a few more photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahotw/tags/panorama/ | 15:02 |
| andrew | and I've got a couple here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ahotw/tags/stereographicprojection/ | 15:03 |
| andrew | hrm | 15:06 |
| andrew | @ping | 15:06 |
| PennBot | pong | 15:06 |
| andrew | kk | 15:06 |
| ChinnoDog | lamalex: so how did it go? | 16:26 |
| lamalex | i got home around 4:30 | 16:26 |
| ChinnoDog | am? | 16:26 |
| ssweeny | aww | 16:44 |
| ssweeny | now we don't get to hear | 16:44 |
| andrew | oh well | 16:52 |
| InHisName1 | test box graphic back working... system>preferences>monitors shows "unknown" for monitor name. HOW To fix ? | 17:55 |
| InHisName1 | It used to work in earlier version, now its 10.10 | 17:56 |
| InHisName1 | trying something .... reboot ... | 18:15 |
| InHisName | Grr, disk drive check | 18:18 |
| toggles | ahh yeah, gnome shell.. thank $deity | 18:19 |
| InHisName1 | last item: needed an xorg.conf to force monitor recognition | 18:35 |
| InHisName | Wish me luck, I started down the path of upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 on the test box. | 19:14 |
| toggles | InHisName: good luck... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/648180 | 19:43 |
| PennBot | Title: Bug #648180 in unity (Ubuntu): “Unity is not an adequate replacement for Gnome2 (and sucks a little bit less then it used to)” (at bugs.launchpad.net) | 19:43 |
| jedijf | all those kind of reports are invalid until trying for like 6 weeks....humans hate change...try it a bit, realize what it said on the wiki, that they just wanted to get it out there with some 'best choice' defaults... | 19:46 |
| ssweeny | yeah i'm using both gnome 3 an unity (on diff machines) and both have taken a lot of getting used to | 19:47 |
| jedijf | and let's see what happens | 19:47 |
| jedijf | first night i couldn't stand the up/down workplaces....i've mellowed | 19:47 |
| jedijf | when my 82 year old buddy said he's kinda liking it, after initial 'i hate it', it gave me hope | 19:48 |
| jedijf | llavins++ | 19:48 |
| jedijf | and honestly...i am being more temperant because of team members and their work lamalex++ ssweeny soon..... | 19:50 |
| jedijf | now, it's personal | 19:50 |
| * ssweeny will not be on the DX team, but some stuff i do may end up in ubu eventually | 19:50 | |
| jedijf | i'll buy the watch or the toaster ;) | 19:51 |
| ssweeny | excellent | 19:53 |
| jedijf | or the MarkPad | 19:53 |
| pleia2 | llavins++ | 19:54 |
| ChinnoDog | So is there a place to buy an eCAFE Slim HD yet? | 20:05 |
| JonathanD | I've been seeing a lot of unity bashing. It's unfamiliar, but on my test box I don't find it that bad... | 20:43 |
| andrew | I've started to learn to bend it to my needs | 20:44 |
| ssweeny | generally you're going to hear mostly from people who are having problems | 20:44 |
| ssweeny | the people for whom it works have less incentive to talk about it | 20:44 |
| JonathanD | Also this isn't an upgrade, for me, this is a clean install on a clean box. | 20:44 |
| andrew | So, I think I'm going to awaken my blog with a post about what changes I made to overcome my problems | 20:44 |
| JonathanD | I'm carrying my T41 as a spare now, so I might install it on that next | 20:45 |
| JonathanD | if the video card is up for it. | 20:45 |
| ssweeny | unity-2d is actually pretty slick | 20:47 |
| ssweeny | it's good for non-3d-enabled hardware | 20:47 |
| JonathanD | (no more dual booting, I'll just carry two laptops. Now thats progress ;) ) | 20:47 |
| jedijf | JonathanD: llavins installed on t41 | 20:52 |
| JonathanD | It's got an ATI something or other. | 20:53 |
| jedijf | andrew: a blog post on how you resolved issues during a transition would be great | 20:53 |
| JonathanD | I do think the app finding is a little awkward. | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | I like tree-ing menus. | 20:54 |
| jedijf | andrew: prolly good idea to follow all the admistriva channels; especially for this issue | 20:54 |
| jedijf | issue...change...transition | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | figures I just got the 41 setup nicely though. | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | I should have waited :P | 20:55 |
| jedijf | JonathanD: wait for andrew's post...and then gnome-do will make you love it | 20:55 |
| * jedijf applies pressure | 20:56 | |
| andrew | back | 20:56 |
| andrew | jedijf: You can tree, to an extent | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | I'll install windows ME in the meantime while I'm waiting for andrew's blog post. | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | jedijf: is that suitable pressure? | 20:57 |
| andrew | JonathanD: no, install slackware | 20:57 |
| andrew | so far, all my tweeks have been fairly standard settings, nothing that includes scary anti-ubuntu stuff | 20:59 |
| andrew | ("What? wget and run this script from the intrawebs? OKAY!!!") | 21:00 |

| JonathanD | "padre" doesn't appear to work for me on 11.04 | 21:59 |
| JonathanD | eh, known bug too | 22:02 |
