| Cheri703 | rawr | 00:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Eh? | 00:56 |
| Cheri703 | eh, just tons to do and not doing it | 00:58 |
| Unit193 | Great. The computer is now set to autoboot memtest ...with no grub screen | 01:19 |
| Cheri703 | heh | 01:20 |
| Cheri703 | you could liveboot and then edit grub conf | 01:20 |
| Unit193 | It's set to the one I want.... Wha? | 01:27 |
| dmcglone1 | hiya | 01:28 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone1: Hello | 01:28 |
| Cheri703 | hi | 01:29 |
| Unit193 | I like the old grub much better... | 01:29 |
| Unit193 | Still the wrong kernel, but not memtest! | 01:31 |
| Cheri703 | progress! | 01:31 |
| dmcglone1 | my wife just got a glimpse of Unity, she's bitchin.. LOL | 01:32 |
| Cheri703 | heh | 01:32 |
| dmcglone1 | she sure as hell doesn't want it | 01:32 |
| Unit193 | What are you going to give her? | 01:33 |
| dmcglone1 | well at the moment she's running KDE and is bitchin about that, so I showed her my unity install and she said hell no, so I guess it's Gnome 10.10 | 01:33 |
| dmcglone1 | I mean Ubuntu 10.10 | 01:34 |
| dmcglone1 | looks like Unity is gonna be a hard sell to casual users for Ubuntu :-/ | 01:36 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone1: You going to show the other Ubuntus? You could rollback to 10.04 (LTS) | 01:37 |
| dmcglone1 | She used to have 10.10 | 01:38 |
| Unit193 | So if I point StartupManager to the kernel I want, it sets memtest as default.... grrrrr | 01:39 |
| * dmcglone1 is installing Gnome on my netbook | 01:45 | |
| dmcglone1 | from there going to gnome 3 | 01:45 |
| Unit193 | It's just not going to take that kernel.... | 02:49 |
| canthus13 | That's weird... | 03:06 |
| Unit193 | And I need to figure out how to install grub menu | 03:07 |
| jgould | well... It seems that my issues with what ever was causing the crash on boot have been resolved by an upstream patch... | 03:07 |
| canthus13 | Unit193: That's weird. My wife's machine can't get grub menu to work.. She's running Lucid. | 03:09 |
| canthus13 | It boots straight with no menu. I'm running Maverick and it comes up just fine. | 03:09 |
| Unit193 | Eh... I don't think I checked that option at boot | 03:09 |
| Unit193 | s/boot/install | 03:09 |
| Cheri703 | canthus13: any word on the sully toy? | 03:12 |
| Cheri703 | I leave on saturday (as long as I can get a ride to the airport -_-) | 03:12 |
| canthus13 | In the mail tomorrow. Last two days have been crazy.... It should make it in time, though. I'll mail it from the post office. | 03:13 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 03:14 |
| Cheri703 | no problem, just wanted to check :) | 03:14 |
| Cheri703 | I have so much stuff to do >.< I'm trying to convince myself to tackle it all :/ | 03:15 |
| canthus13 | Heh. gotta do it... It'd suck to show up in Hungary and realize you didn't pack underwear... | 03:23 |
| jgould | That would suck | 03:23 |
| Cheri703 | true | 03:24 |
| Cheri703 | I have a bunch of laundry going so I can figure out what to pack | 03:24 |
| jgould | I hate it when I get cold feet | 03:24 |
| Cheri703 | my list for the week thus far: acquire second suitcase, pack, doctor's appointment tomorrow, plan open week session, present open week session, locate a ride to the dang airport | 03:25 |
| Cheri703 | *plus all of the regular crap around here | 03:25 |
| jgould | Where are you Cheri703 (and which airport are you flying out of? | 03:25 |
| Cheri703 | I'm in mansfield and I'm going to columbus :/ | 03:25 |
| Cheri703 | that's the difficulty | 03:26 |
| Cheri703 | if I was still in columbus, I'd be fine | 03:26 |
| Cheri703 | I have enough people who owed me from times I picked them up ;) | 03:26 |
| jgould | If I had a reson to go to mansfield, I'd pick you up and drop you off at CMH | 03:26 |
| Cheri703 | heh, I appreciate it | 03:27 |
| Cheri703 | mansfield is AWESOME >.> | 03:27 |
| Cheri703 | one option I'm considering is getting a ride to cbus friday night (if possible) and crashing at a friend's house and then going in the morning from there. that greatly shortens my time table though :/ | 03:28 |
| jgould | Just a little bit | 03:30 |
| Cheri703 | you under estimate how late I stay up | 03:30 |
| Cheri703 | to get to columbus at a reasonable hour (even by 10) would require leaving by 9, which would cut 4-5 hours off of my general "doing stuff" time...possibly even more | 03:31 |
| Cheri703 | not counting any time in the morning | 03:32 |
| jgould | I stay up late when Our jobs at work slow down (which they are, and layoffs are looming again...) | 03:38 |
| Cheri703 | where do you work? | 03:39 |
| jgould | I work for a little company called Lifetouch National School Studos | 03:40 |
| jgould | er Studios | 03:40 |
| Cheri703 | wait...lifetouch...where is that? | 03:40 |
| Cheri703 | that sounds vaguely familiar | 03:40 |
| Cheri703 | is there another place called lifetouch? | 03:40 |
| jgould | We have subsidiaries... Not that I know of | 03:41 |
| jgould | where, we are an international company with offices around the US and Canada | 03:41 |
| Cheri703 | ah, ok, I'm thinking of lifetouch church directories...I had to go there for my old job | 03:41 |
| jgould | That's owned by us. I work for NSS as a photographer. I've said in the past that almost everyone has heard of us, but few know what we do | 03:42 |
| Cheri703 | ah, gotcha | 03:43 |
| Cheri703 | that's cool | 03:43 |
| Cheri703 | I worked for a short time at "picture people" omg it was horrible. I like photography, but that place... | 03:43 |
| jgould | I need to find something else to do | 03:43 |
| Cheri703 | this is what I'm up to these days: www.TechHeroOhio.com need more clients though :/ | 03:43 |
| jgould | That helps | 03:44 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: You should change those bottom lines.. They give a double vision effect that's a bit disconcerting. | 03:44 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 03:45 |
| canthus13 | Side-by-side of offset a bit more, maybe. | 03:45 |
| jgould | I'm just happy that I am working in Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro 8,1... | 03:45 |
| Cheri703 | I was pondering whether I needed to have both email AND web address (that's basically my flyer, but with different font) | 03:45 |
| jgould | So what goes on at a Ubuntu Hour | 03:48 |
| Cheri703 | at ours we just hang out and chat | 03:49 |
| jgould | Sounds like waht we did Sunday XD | 03:49 |
| Cheri703 | heh, possibly | 03:49 |
| jgould | With Jacob's machine attached to the projector | 03:50 |
| jgould | Hmm... Too bad Evoloution cant' do Google Calendars... | 03:52 |
| Cheri703 | it can! | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | I use it... | 03:53 |
| jgould | two way sync? | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | I like having my google calendars synced with the applet | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | yep | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | do "new calendar" type drop down to Google | 03:54 |
| Cheri703 | it's awesome | 03:54 |
| jgould | With Jacob's machine attached to the projector | 03:54 |
| jgould | er | 03:54 |
| jgould | *Gasps* | 03:54 |
| jgould | Yay~ | 03:54 |
| jgould | How does it handle multiple calanders? (I use two gmail accounts almost exlcusivly with the calendar | 03:55 |
| Cheri703 | I have like 4 different google calendars synced | 03:55 |
| Cheri703 | it's fine | 03:55 |
| jgould | And it's an all in one app, which I like better than the Mail/iCal/Address Book trio that apple uses | 03:56 |
| Cheri703 | yeah | 03:57 |
| Cheri703 | on my netbook, the google calendar page is a PAIN unless I put firefox into full screen | 03:57 |
| jgould | How big is the scren on your netbook? | 03:58 |
| Cheri703 | 10.1" | 04:00 |
| jgould | I've thought about getting a netbook for an even more portable machine than the 13.3" MacBook Pro, but I fear that I will run into the same issue that I did with the 11.6" MacBook Air... The screen was too short and it hurt my neck to use it for an extended period of time | 04:04 |
| Cheri703 | I like mine a lot | 04:05 |
| Cheri703 | I was using a 15" for a while (not especially wide screen, was kind of tallish), and I didn't like that there was only a VERY specific spot that looked "right" instead of the crappy "wrong angle lcd" appearance | 04:05 |
| Cheri703 | canthus13: check it now | 04:06 |
| jgould | Wow... I've only really been back in teh commmunity for a few days and I'm already helping people in teh Ubuntu fourms... XD | 04:08 |
| Cheri703 | heh, go you! | 04:08 |
| canthus13 | Much better. :) | 04:09 |
| jgould | I like the new version better aws well | 04:09 |
| jgould | I can't type worth a damn, but hey | 04:09 |
| Cheri703 | thanks :) | 04:10 |
| Cheri703 | I had just uploaded the equivalent of my initial flyer. I'd since redone it, so I updated to match that (and take off the website) | 04:10 |
| jgould | do you just delete messages from the inbox in evloution to archive them? (I can't rememmber. It's been a while...) | 04:12 |
| Cheri703 | I don't use evolution for email | 04:14 |
| jgould | I find it easier to do it all in one place | 04:15 |
| * canthus13 does all of his emailing in one place: gmail. :) | 04:15 | |
| Cheri703 | same here | 04:15 |
| canthus13 | Much easier than dealing with a mail client. :/ | 04:15 |
| jgould | unless you have 3 accounts that you bounce between on a regular basis... | 04:15 |
| * Cheri703 sets gmail to check the others, also to send as others | 04:17 | |
| jgould | How does that work from a mobile device? I send and recive off of all three from my BlackBerry | 04:18 |
| * Unit193 uses Alpine half the time, gmail half the time and Thunderbird the rest of the time :D | 04:18 | |
| Cheri703 | I could use the main mail thing, or gmail...either one... | 04:19 |
| canthus13 | jgould: I just use the gmail mobile client for my phone. (not blackberry, but gmail seems to have a client for everything...) | 04:19 |
| jgould | If I do that, then there is no reason to have the blackberry... :P (Although it about got tossed into traffic the other day on Hilliard Rome Road because it was pissing me off...) | 04:20 |
| * Cheri703 hearts android | 04:21 | |
| jgould | I'm leaning toward andriod. My love for Apple is slowly waning | 04:21 |
| * canthus13 is still looking to get a Pre/Pre plus.. WebOS <3 | 04:21 | |
| * canthus13 lost his love for Apple around 1991. | 04:22 | |
| jgould | The build quality on my Macbook is great, If I would have knowm that I was goign to have problems, I would have kept my C2D MBP and not gotten this Core i5... | 04:23 |
| jgould | Now I'm thinking ahead to when this one goes and depending on how much I'm using Ubuntu as a primary OS, looking at System76 for the next one | 04:24 |
| jgould | A little over $200 cheaper for pretty much the same comptuer. (This one has an i5, the Lemur has an i3) | 04:25 |
| canthus13 | System76 builds some really sweet hardware. | 04:26 |
| Unit193 | Don't System76 run a little high in price? | 04:26 |
| canthus13 | No. Mac runs a little(lot) high in price. :) | 04:26 |
| jgould | Doesn't look like it | 04:26 |
| canthus13 | They're not cheap (Acer/HP/Gateway). They're priced more like a good HP business laptop or a higher-end Dell. | 04:27 |
| canthus13 | From what I've seen, they're worth it. And I like the guys that I've met that work there. :) | 04:27 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: How's the netbook holding up so far? | 04:27 |
| jgould | This is one of those indrusties that is a "You get what you pay for" thing | 04:27 |
| canthus13 | to a degree. I don't see Mac being worth the stupid price. | 04:27 |
| Cheri703 | they replaced the case, but...the customer service is SEVERELY LACKING...don't go zareason | 04:28 |
| Cheri703 | :/ | 04:28 |
| Cheri703 | the computer itself is fine | 04:28 |
| Cheri703 | the crappy email I got from the ceo of the company is NOT | 04:28 |
| * canthus13 won't be recommending zareason for a while... | 04:28 | |
| Cheri703 | yeah...I'm glad they fixed it, but...even then, crappy customer service | 04:29 |
| jgould | I will say that every time I've had a hardware problem (with the exception of the dog giving the MacBook I bought in early 2009 a drink of cofffee) Apple has fixed issues without much fuss. | 04:29 |
| jgould | I had an intermitent screen flicker and they repalced the inverter board just on my word. (which did fix it by the way) | 04:29 |
| canthus13 | jgould: I've heard nightmare stories about apple service.. of course I've heard the same about Dell, and my dad hasn't had a single issue with them (aside from one know-it-all that tried to blame the hard drive when the machine wouldn't post, but he caved when I got on the line and told him I was Dell certified (I'm not, but A+)) | 04:31 |
| * canthus13 personally will never buy HP again for the customer service. | 04:31 | |
| * canthus13 has had 3 dell laptops so far, and the only one to die was one that got stepped on and then dropped off a table. | 04:31 | |
| canthus13 | And that one was 8 years old. :D | 04:32 |
| jgould | Dell's customer service is funny... My wife has an insprion 600m that the dog threw up in. (He had drank a lot of water and it was too much) I dumped the machine, opened it up, determined the only thing I needed was a keyboard, called and told the guy to send me the keyboard, and he was like "You need to send it in." I sighed and said, It's just the keyboard, send me the damn thing or go get yoru | 04:35 |
| jgould | supervisor." needless to say, I got the keyboard. by that point I had replaced 4 or 5 keyboards... She strikes hard.... | 04:35 |
| canthus13 | jgould: My dad also buys XPS systems exclusively, which have different service contracts than the cheaper systems, so that probably makes a difference. | 04:42 |
| jgould | probably. I love the way to install software in Ubuntu | 04:46 |
| canthus13 | Repos make it soooo easy. :) | 04:47 |
| jgould | Yes. I wonder how hard it would be to create a list of software that you've installed on one machineso you can install it on the other... | 04:49 |
| Cheri703 | SUPER EASY | 04:49 |
| Cheri703 | in synaptic, you can save markings | 04:50 |
| jgould | Taht would install stuff that I need on one machine, but not the other (eg. ndiswrapper) | 04:52 |
| canthus13 | There's a way to export the installed package list and import it on another machine... Use it for reinstalls, usually. I just don't remember what the command is. | 04:53 |
| canthus13 | jgould: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 | 04:54 |
| Cheri703 | you can save it and then restore it on another machine | 04:54 |
| canthus13 | Just edit the list and remove the stuff you don't want. | 04:54 |
| jgould | Lets see you do that on an OS that isn't a Ubuntu/Debian deritive! | 04:55 |
| canthus13 | redhat-style systems can do it as well. | 04:58 |
| canthus13 | but forget windows. :) | 04:58 |
| canthus13 | OSX could be set up for it fairly easily. | 04:58 |
| jgould | Why can't gmail imap to itself... | 04:59 |
| jgould | canthus13: I think that's part of the reason for the App Store. Linux has been doing it for years though... | 04:59 |
| canthus13 | Yeah, but you don't pay for ubuntu repos. :) | 04:59 |
| canthus13 | Actually, nm. that's not true.. there *are* a few items for sale in there. | 05:00 |
| jgould | I know. One of the peices of software I have under OS X is going to be payware for the linux version. I will probably buy it | 05:02 |
| canthus13 | don't say that too loud.. the freetards will yell at you. :( | 05:03 |
| jgould | It's some very specialized writing software that fits the way I write | 05:03 |
| jgould | but I can't seem to type tonight | 05:04 |
| * canthus13 has no issue with pay software. If he could afford it, and they ported it to Linux, he'd probably buy Photoshop. | 05:05 | |
| Unit193 | Free software = software you don't pay for!! | 05:07 |
| canthus13 | yeah...? | 05:07 |
| jgould | There's a lot of software that I use that I can't afford | 05:07 |
| jgould | I understand making money, but some of the prices they charge are outragious | 05:07 |
| Unit193 | canthus13: Freetards think Free software = OpenSource | 05:08 |
| canthus13 | jgould: Generally, the more specialized the software is, the more expensive it is, because the market is smaller and dev costs have to be recouped. | 05:08 |
| Cheri703 | teamviewer has INSANE prices | 05:08 |
| * canthus13 never checked into their prices. | 05:09 | |
| Cheri703 | it's crazy | 05:09 |
| canthus13 | gotoassist is actually reasonable iirc. | 05:09 |
| * canthus13 wonders how feasible skype's screensharing is for support... | 05:09 | |
| Cheri703 | is it cross platform? and VERY easy on the other side? | 05:09 |
| Cheri703 | horrible | 05:09 |
| dmcglone27 | that was a disaster | 05:12 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone27: Then don't do it again! | 05:13 |
| dmcglone27 | Thought I was never gonna get this netbook running again | 05:13 |
| Unit193 | Unity? | 05:13 |
| jgould | What did yo do to it | 05:13 |
| dmcglone27 | I tried installing gnome, then upgrading to gnome 3 and poof it all went south | 05:13 |
| dmcglone27 | I'm back to 10.10 | 05:14 |
| dmcglone27 | I'm sticking with 10.10 and Gnome 3 | 05:14 |
| jgould | Gah... nidswrapper just took out my Macbook | 05:18 |
| dmcglone27 | again? | 05:18 |
| jgould | sye | 05:18 |
| jgould | er yep | 05:18 |
| dmcglone27 | dang | 05:19 |
| dmcglone27 | that sux | 05:19 |
| canthus13 | ndiswarper... | 05:19 |
| jgould | yeah, that | 05:19 |
| jgould | Now lets see if I can get it to come back up | 05:20 |
| jgould | that was weird... | 05:21 |
| jgould | Nope, My kernel bug still exists... | 05:23 |
| jgould | :( | 05:23 |
| canthus13 | Bummer... :( | 05:24 |
| jgould | I wonder if rolling my own kernel would help... | 05:24 |
| Unit193 | There is mainline on launchpad | 05:25 |
| dmcglone27 | have you tried the server kernel? | 05:25 |
| jgould | Not yet, It's going to take a reinstall to do anything now | 05:25 |
| jgould | I wonder if starting minimal and adding things in manually would help with this issue... | 05:38 |
| dmcglone27 | when you re-install, go with the server edition and see if you have the same problem | 05:40 |
| jgould | I'll need to grab the 64 bit server edition | 05:42 |
| dmcglone27 | it's worth a shot | 05:46 |
| jgould | Yep | 05:47 |
| jgould | How many others would have just given up? | 05:47 |
| dmcglone27 | yup, I agree | 05:48 |
| dmcglone27 | brb | 05:48 |
| jgould | well, this sounds like shit | 05:55 |
| dmcglone27 | Ok running gnome 3 | 05:57 |
| dmcglone27 | I'm about to call it a night | 05:57 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone27: Does it like nice and pretty? | 05:58 |
| dmcglone27 | It's nice, but can't say if I'll like it long term | 05:58 |
| jgould | dmcglone27: I'm going to try the see what happens | 06:01 |
| dmcglone27 | good luck | 06:02 |
| dmcglone27 | Unit193: seen gnome 3 yet? | 06:03 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone27: No | 06:03 |
| Unit193 | Have some handy SS? | 06:04 |
| dmcglone27 | hang on I'll get some | 06:05 |
| jgould | Interesting. If you hold your windows key, numbers will appear on the launcher in Unity and you can just hit the windows key and the number and be th ere | 06:10 |
| jgould | At this point I'm tempted to grab 11.10 and see what I can do with it | 06:29 |
| Unit193 | 11.10? | 06:30 |
| dmcglone27 | Unit193: http://ubuntuone.com/p/qg8/ | 06:32 |
| dmcglone27 | http://ubuntuone.com/p/qg7/ | 06:33 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone27: Not bad at all! | 06:34 |
| dmcglone27 | I have it installed alongside the default gnome, so I can use either one | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | I might even try Gnome with that... | 06:35 |
| jgould | Unit193: The alpha (!) release of the next version. Who knows it may work better... | 06:36 |
| dmcglone27 | Unit apt-get install gnome3-session | 06:37 |
| dmcglone27 | log out and back into gnome 3 | 06:37 |
| Unit193 | That's default settings? | 06:38 |
| Unit193 | And they dumped that for Unity... | 06:38 |
| dmcglone27 | yup | 06:38 |
| dmcglone27 | I can actually say I like this way better than Unity | 06:43 |
| jgould | Hmmm.. I can't install gnome3, It needs gnome-shell wich isn't in the repo... (11.04) | 06:45 |
| dmcglone27 | that was my problem jgould so I tried installing gnome classic first then gnome 3 and everything went south | 06:46 |
| dmcglone27 | so I re-installed 10.10 and gnome 3 | 06:46 |
| dmcglone27 | 11.04 is shitty! | 06:46 |
| dmcglone27 | what about you Unit193 did you get it? | 06:47 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone27: Nothings going to happen right now | 06:48 |
| Unit193 | I may try it in VBox... | 06:48 |
| dmcglone27 | cool, I can almost guarantee you will like it | 06:48 |
| jgould | I wonder how the MacBook will respond if I roll it back to 10.04 or even 10.10 | 06:49 |
| dmcglone27 | we are gonna have to get used to this new format sooner or later, because I can see everybody doing it soon | 06:49 |
| dmcglone27 | I'm not sure jgould | 06:49 |
| Unit193 | Last time using Ubuntu full install was 6.10 and I'm not changing that soon... | 06:49 |
| dmcglone27 | well I'm gonna get some shut eye, I'll see y'all tomorrow | 06:50 |
| jgould | Night | 06:51 |
| dmcglone27 | Oh yeah, one more thing before I go, gnome 3 moved the damn icons back to the right side where they belong!!! :-) | 06:51 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone27: Have a good rest!! (Thanks for the SS) | 06:51 |

| Unit193 | jgould: Having fun? ;) | 06:52 |
| Unit193 | No I'm not... | 06:52 |
| jgould | Loads of fun. More than I should be allowed ot have | 06:52 |
| * Unit193 wanted to go to the C-Bus thing | 06:52 | |
| jgould | I was there. First LoCo event ever | 06:53 |
| Unit193 | Other then U-H, it would have been mine... | 06:53 |
| Unit193 | I SO wanted to go... | 06:54 |
| jgould | U-H? | 06:54 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu Hour | 06:55 |
| jgould | I may go to that tomorrow. Not sure yet. I don't think the Missses will tag along, she was bored at the LoCo event on sunday.. | 06:55 |
| Unit193 | Come to mine? | 06:56 |
| Unit193 | ;) | 06:56 |
| Cheri703 | Unit193: he's in cbus | 06:56 |
| Unit193 | I know... ---> ;) | 06:56 |
| jgould | Which one is yours? | 06:57 |
| jgould | any one else have a little blue triangle at the upper left of thier screen in Unity on 11.04? | 06:59 |
| Unit193 | I'm not sorry, I don't use Unity | 07:00 |
| jgould | hmm... | 07:05 |
| Unit193 | Cyanide and Happiness anyone? | 07:11 |
| jgould | Anyone else having issues with backspace not working in FF/Chrome | 07:16 |
| jgould | Be right back... | 07:17 |
| jgould | How in the hell do you pick another kernel? | 07:21 |
| Unit193 | Last ones here: apt-cache search kernel image | 07:25 |
| Unit193 | What one are you looking for? | 07:26 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-get install linux-image-virtual | 07:26 |
| jgould | something other than generic to see if my issue with the i915 driver is limited to generic | 07:27 |
| Unit193 | Server or Liquorix? | 07:28 |
| jgould | I'm tempted to try to compile my own kernel... It's been about ten years since I've done that | 07:28 |
| jgould | I'm trying server | 07:28 |
| jgould | damn it | 07:38 |
| Unit193 | Still errors? | 07:39 |
| jgould | Yep | 07:39 |
| jgould | I'm going to give 10.04 a shot... | 07:42 |
| jgould | I figure I can't hurt anything | 07:44 |
| Unit193 | Wireless card (I don't remember) | 07:51 |
| jgould | Nope | 07:54 |
| jgould | [drm:intel_dsm_pci_probe] *ERROR* failed to get supported _DSM functions | 07:54 |
| jgould | It's a kernel bug with the i915 chipset | 07:54 |
| Unit193 | jgould: Did you look at this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FMainlineBuilds | 07:58 |
| jgould | This is making my head hurt | 08:01 |
| Unit193 | I can't help any... | 08:02 |
| jgould | Doing what I'm doing is how bugs get fixed... | 08:08 |
| Unit193 | jgould: I think someone in one of my other channels has the same device | 08:13 |
| Unit193 | Were you getting freezes from screen-savers? | 08:15 |
| jgould | No | 08:19 |
| jgould | My problem occurs on boot, and once it does, there is no recovering | 08:25 |
| Unit193 | "xorg had an update today for intel chipsets" | 08:25 |
| * Unit193 <--- REALLY can't help | 08:26 | |
| jgould | This is kernel level | 08:26 |
| Unit193 | Yep... | 08:27 |
| jgould | *gru05:24:08 rchavik | *sigh*, this is going to destroy my │ _marix | 10:24 |
| jgould | m05:24:08 rchavik | *sigh*, this is going to destroy my │ _marix | 10:25 |
| jgould | bl05:24:08 rchavik | *sigh*, this is going to destroy my │ _marix | 10:25 |

| canthus13 | ..? | 11:57 |
| Derath-Srvr | <-- owns a System76 Lappy, and has loved it... paid extra for 3 year warranty (which I think is just about to expire, if not already...) | 13:42 |
| * jgould finds the nearest wall | 17:02 | |
| jgould | Ok, I can say I've filed my first bug... | 18:19 |
| Derath-Srvr | ? | 18:38 |
| Derath-Srvr | For the macbook graphics? | 18:38 |
| jgould | Yep | 18:39 |
| jgould | intresting... | 18:58 |
| dmcglone | jgould: managed to try gnome 3 yet? | 18:58 |
| jgould | Nope. Still fighting with the macbook | 18:59 |
| dmcglone | Where is the stupid home icon located in the filesystem? I looked all over /usr/share/icons and nothing | 19:19 |
| jgould | Something intresting of note... Under Ubuntu, the keyboard backlighting works. Under Xubuntu, it doesn't | 19:56 |
| Unit193 | apt-cache show pommed | 20:00 |
| jgould | busted install. Irrelevent... | 20:00 |
| Unit193 | I know - pommed also monitors the ambient light sensors to automatically light up the keyboard backlight on machines that support it. | 20:00 |
| jgould | 10.04 is out. There isn't even support for the wired network card... | 20:01 |
| jgould | I *will* get this working or die trying... | 20:02 |
| Unit193 | Did you try anything other then Ubuntu? What works, works (And maybe you can steal the kernel too ) | 20:03 |
| jgould | No I haven't. Maybe I should... | 20:04 |
| jgould | I wonder what kernel debian 6 is using for a default | 20:04 |
| deejoe | jgould: 2.6.32-5-xen-686 is what I have on one of my Debian 6 boxes | 20:05 |
| jgould | We'll give it a shot. Can't be any worse than what I'm working with now... | 20:07 |
| jgould | I also wonder why I am unable to boot from a usb Drive on this macBook | 20:08 |
| jgould | I need to learn more about weechat... | 20:13 |
| Unit193 | There are quickstart guides online | 20:14 |
| jgould | yep. Been too busy dealing with the macbook and trying to get it to work | 20:17 |
| Unit193 | Note to self: Don't try to get cousin to dual-boot | 20:18 |
| jgould | Why? | 20:19 |
| Unit193 | He has a Mac | 20:19 |
| jgould | which mac | 20:19 |
| jgould | my issue is specific to this model (MacBook Pro 8,x) | 20:20 |
| Unit193 | I have no idea... I only know what it looks like (Not really done anything with it) | 20:21 |
| jgould | How long has he had it? | 20:21 |
| Unit193 | I think this year (We don't visit much, they are out of state) | 20:22 |
| jgould | Laptop or desktop? | 20:22 |
| Unit193 | Silver Laptop | 20:23 |
| jgould | do you know if it has a thunderbolt port? | 20:23 |
| Unit193 | No I don't... | 20:24 |
| jgould | Debian 6 can't see the network card.. | 20:25 |
| jgould | So much for trying debian 6 | 20:27 |
| Derath-Srvr | lol @ Unit | 20:27 |
| Unit193 | Derath-Srvr: What? I don't know what Mac he has (I've only seen it once or twice) | 20:27 |
| Derath-Srvr | Just laughing over dual'ing it... lol | 20:28 |
| jgould | With the random issues I've had with this MacBook, I regret taking the c2d MBP back... | 20:28 |
| jgould | Hmmm. It looks like this thing did get networking after all | 20:41 |
| jgould | Derath-Srvr: If I can get this working, I'm going to be dualing my MBP | 20:42 |
| Unit193 | Welcome back Cheri703 | 21:18 |
| Cheri703 | thanks, was out running a bunch of errands | 21:19 |
| jgould | Welcome back. | 21:19 |
| * jgould bashes his head into a wall | 21:20 | |
| Unit193 | jgould is still having issues with his Mac (And about 70% would have said goodbye to Ubuntu) | 21:21 |
| Cheri703 | ha jgould last thing I saw before signing off was: * jgould finds the nearest wall | 21:22 |
| canthus13 | Cheri703: Sully should be there by friday. | 21:22 |
| jgould | Heh | 21:22 |
| Cheri703 | good to know canthus13 :) | 21:23 |
| jgould | Ok. Unity was ok for a little bit, but now it's just annoying | 21:25 |
| dmcglone1 | jgould: try gnome 3 it's good | 21:27 |
| dmcglone1 | really good | 21:27 |
| Unit193 | Linux Journal has something about Unity | 21:27 |
| jgould | Unit193: is it good? | 21:27 |
| Unit193 | jgould: It's a video... | 21:28 |
| jgould | dmcglone1: I have to get a working system before I worry about gnome 3 | 21:32 |
| dmcglone1 | I keep forgetting you can't get anything working :-/ | 21:33 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone1: If it was on Ubunbtu, I would try it in a VM | 21:39 |
| dmcglone1 | it's in the repos | 21:39 |
| Unit193 | I know. They should make a Gubuntu | 21:40 |
| dmcglone1 | up package manager to install gnome3-session | 21:41 |
| dmcglone1 | use that is | 21:41 |
| Unit193 | -shell isn't in 11 repos, right? | 21:42 |
| dmcglone1 | no | 21:42 |
| dmcglone1 | I installed 10.10 and it was there | 21:42 |
| jgould | Has anyone seen my brain? | 21:44 |
| Unit193 | Was that what I was tossing around?? | 21:45 |
| jgould | Heh | 21:45 |
| dmcglone1 | no wonder it's fucked up | 21:46 |
| jgould | Heh | 21:47 |
| jgould | Well, My bug report just got confirmed. What does that mean? | 21:48 |
| Unit193 | Link? | 21:48 |
| dmcglone1 | it means it was confirmed to exsist | 21:49 |
| Derath-Srvr | means they know it's a real bug... | 21:49 |
| jgould | Good. Maybe I'll get a fix and then I can fix the hole in the wall... | 21:51 |
| dmcglone1 | don't hold your breath | 21:51 |
| jgould | Why do you say that | 21:56 |
| Derath-Srvr | Aside from taking a while to reproduce and fix? | 21:57 |
| dmcglone1 | sometimes it takes a long time to fix bugs | 21:57 |
| Derath-Srvr | Well, time to go home... | 21:57 |
| Derath-Srvr | laters | 21:57 |
| dmcglone1 | later | 21:59 |
| dmcglone | hi | 22:27 |
| Unit193 | Hello dmcglone1, dmcglone | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | I thought one would be weechat... | 22:28 |
| dmcglone | this is his douter i did not mean to say that sorry | 22:29 |
| Unit193 | Well, hello there! | 22:29 |

| dmcglone1 | Ha I see my daughter Amy stopped in | 23:53 |
| dmcglone1 | She was on my desktop in the other room while I was cooking dinner | 23:54 |
| dmcglone1 | Unit193: Actually dmcglone1 is my netbook and dmcglone is my desktop :-) | 23:55 |
| Unit193 | School? | 23:56 |
| dmcglone1 | I'm not following | 23:56 |
| dmcglone1 | if you mean the kids, they are out for the day, they get out at 3:00 | 23:57 |
| Unit193 | Did she have homework to go? | 23:57 |
| dmcglone1 | Ah no, this week is OAA testing so no homework | 23:57 |
| dmcglone1 | I'm happy there's no homework, because I have to help them most of the time. It's like I'm going through school all over again :-/ | 23:58 |
