philipballewwhat would you guys recommend I put on a laptop with 256(i believe) on it?00:42
philipballewunless you think windows 2000 is good. haha00:42
pleia2could give lubuntu a try00:43
philipballewwould that run with 256 you think? i was possibly gonna try that. if that doesn't work i might try puppy or bsd?00:45
akk256 what? Mb RAM?00:45
philipballewyeah.00:46
philipballewrem00:46
philipballew*ram00:46
akkUbuntu runs okay with 192Mb if you don't run a big desktop like gnome/kde00:46
akkand if you don't run two big apps at once, e.g. firefox and openoffice00:46
philipballewI am considering installing only cli00:46
akkIt'll run fine with CLI only00:47
philipballewthe laptops point will be to stream music from a music server i have in another room00:47
akkand fine with a lightweight window manager too (openbox, ratpoison, fvwm, etc.)00:47
akkoh, yeah, don't even need a wm then00:47
philipballewwhats the best way then to install ubuntu cli00:47
philipballewi can install one if i want but configure it to not start up and i have to startx to bring it up00:48
akkThe alternate install CD has an "install commandline only" option that works pretty well00:48
akkexcept in natty, it's messed up and won't give you a login prompt, so you have to press ctl-alt-F1 and then edit a couple files after install00:49
philipballewalright. that should be easy but if i install cli only would it come with apps i dont need?00:49
philipballewi could just install 10.0400:49
akkIIRC the cli install installs some server stuff, but there isn't a lot of it and it's easy to remove if you don't want it.00:50
=== erichammond1 is now known as erichammond
philipballewapt-get can do it all for me00:50
akk10.04 boots way slower on a slow machine than 11.04, but otherwise works okay (and has better power management, not that it matters for a media streaming machine)00:51
philipballewwhy does a older version run slower?00:51
akkHmm, wait, strike that, I'm comparing against the wrong distro, 11.04 isn't all that fast to boot either (but doesn't matter much for you).00:51
philipballewi plan on never turning it off00:51
akkI currently like debian squeeze a lot for old/slow machines and laptops.00:52
philipballewi can do that as well00:52
philipballewif i install ubuntu or debian i wont have to figure out the differences between cli commands on different distros00:55

seidosi think it's exclusive03:17

seidosit'd be nice to hear from him in these troubling times03:18

seidosi decided to list out the 7 seals of revelation, apparently the 6th one is the most important04:48
pleia2one of my friends called MJ captain hammer, I laughed for like 2 days04:49

seidospleia2: MJ is your man-friend?04:49
pleia2yes04:49
seidosah, right, "The Guild"04:49
seidosthat's what it was04:49
seidosmaybe i would have remembered it if i had ever been in a "guild", or ever had played "guild wars"04:50
seidosCaptain Hammer must be a Mason04:50
nigelbpleia2: haha, you should just call him "captain" hereforth :P04:50
pleia2MJ hasn't actually seen it04:51
pleia2I ruined my movie cred at home by making him watch too many horrible old movies I think :)04:51
iheartubuntuhaha04:52
pleia2"we should watch 'dr horrible'" "eh.. maybe some other time..."04:52
seidospleia2: like what?04:52
pleia2seidos: the brain that wouldn't die!04:52

seidosi liked that Tuscany movie...man, my memory is terrible04:53
akkHe did sit through Evita a few years ago, but when I rented Sweeney Todd I had to watch during the day while he was doing other things.04:53
pleia2to be fair, he did go with me to see Tangled, and disney cartoons are all musicals :)04:53
iheartubuntutuscany?04:53
iheartubuntumy wife likes under the tuscan sun04:53
pleia2I loved sweeney todd04:54

pleia2iheartubuntu: but so predictable! (I saw it on a plane recently)04:56
seidosi think "under the tuscan sun" inspired me to quit my job, move to australia, and write a novel04:56
akkI think Benny & Joon is still my favorite Depp movie.04:56
iheartubuntua friend of mine just opened a new cafe in south pas. great food. he owns a couple of villas in italy about 50 min north of rome04:56
seidosit contributed like 15% to the decision04:56

iheartubuntuu need to make it available everywhere seidos. not just on one site04:58
seidosi'm not sure that i saw Benny and Joon04:58
seidosiheartubuntu: that's actually a brilliant idea04:59
iheartubuntuexample for music is cdbaby. u upload your music there and they put it for sale on like 15 sites04:59
seidosi'll do that as soon as i get the data.  should be done on the 11th04:59
seidosi'm working on a 2nd novel, i have 2 chapters to go i think04:59
akkpleia2: Both of those were great roles for him (though "great role for johnny depp" is a pretty broad category)04:59
pleia2cool04:59
seidosa good old movie is "the tin drum"04:59
pleia2ok, dinnertime, later all04:59

yantrashilpihello all or whoever's in the room. does anybody here use ibus for multi-language input?22:45
sn9it tends to be crashy in maverick22:46
sn9i try not to use it22:47
nhainesI'm lucky (lazy?) enough that all my written language is done in Latin script.22:48
yantrashilpihmm, i've used it in maverick flawlessly, in fact pretty much I think from 9.10 I've been using it successfully22:50
yantrashilpiexcept now I can't get it to work on natty22:50
yantrashilpii don't see any input methods and I can't seem to select different input methods on the menu bar22:50
yantrashilpiseems like a unity related bug.22:50
yantrashilpior just maybe the language box is not installing all the necessary files.22:51
