[00:42] what would you guys recommend I put on a laptop with 256(i believe) on it? [00:42] unless you think windows 2000 is good. haha [00:43] could give lubuntu a try [00:45] would 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] 256 what? Mb RAM? [00:46] yeah. [00:46] rem [00:46] *ram [00:46] Ubuntu runs okay with 192Mb if you don't run a big desktop like gnome/kde [00:46] and if you don't run two big apps at once, e.g. firefox and openoffice [00:46] I am considering installing only cli [00:47] It'll run fine with CLI only [00:47] the laptops point will be to stream music from a music server i have in another room [00:47] and fine with a lightweight window manager too (openbox, ratpoison, fvwm, etc.) [00:47] oh, yeah, don't even need a wm then [00:47] whats the best way then to install ubuntu cli [00:48] i can install one if i want but configure it to not start up and i have to startx to bring it up [00:48] The alternate install CD has an "install commandline only" option that works pretty well [00:49] except 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 install [00:49] alright. that should be easy but if i install cli only would it come with apps i dont need? [00:49] i could just install 10.04 [00:50] IIRC 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. === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [00:50] apt-get can do it all for me [00:51] 10.04 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] why does a older version run slower? [00:51] Hmm, 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] i plan on never turning it off [00:52] I currently like debian squeeze a lot for old/slow machines and laptops. [00:52] i can do that as well [00:55] if i install ubuntu or debian i wont have to figure out the differences between cli commands on different distros [03:01] seidos [03:01] the man, not the myth [03:04] hey, iheartubuntu, how are you? [03:04] not bad, how are you? [03:04] good and bad, same as always [03:04] i was in downtown L.A. today, @ the new "l.a. live" [03:05] ohh how was it? i still have not been there [03:05] i visited FIDM [03:05] the best thing there is the theater and a starbucks [03:05] i was at an ice skating event during the winter, but didnt go across the street [03:05] haha [03:05] unless you're into pricey restaurants [03:05] isnt there a bowling alley there too? [03:05] ah, maybe, at the ESPN place [03:05] i should've checked that out [03:05] i just went bowling for the first time in a while [03:05] it was a rip off [03:06] i ended up going to this park after lunch which was cool [03:06] i spent like $160 to go bowling ???!!! [03:06] there's a bowling alley in my old town that has $2 tuesdays [03:06] i used to have my own shoes...i gave them away though. i prefer miniature golf [03:06] 4 people, bowling two games plus shoes, plus balls, plus some beers and nachos. rip off [03:07] this place was a trashy bowling alley that was totally revamped... looked nice inside, but for a friday night it was empty [03:07] 4 nerf dart tag guns: $80. dart tag at the park: priceless [03:07] $3 bottle of ketchup [03:07] :) [03:08] (for when you get hit by a nerf) [03:08] dude, stallman is good at spanish: http://stallman.org/video/spain-protests-2011.ogv [03:09] ohh. i wanted ask u [03:10] i have access to a classroom... any size, to host some sort of ubuntu event at CSULA [03:10] would u want to work together on this? [03:10] maybe you could show the movie "Amistad" [03:11] sure, i'd just have to figure out how to get to CSULA [03:11] what did you have in mind? [03:12] did you hear about the homeowner that foreclosed on a bank in florida? [03:12] odd [03:12] ohh yah [03:12] great :) [03:14] btw, i <3 CSULA, i just don't have easy access right now since i don't have a car. [03:14] if it was a job interview it wouldn't be an issue, i could borrow the woman's [03:14] ok [03:15] dont know when i'll do it yet [03:15] i'll see what the bus route is in the meantime [03:15] maybe like a 20 minute intro, with some laptops, some CDs, some USBs, etc [03:15] my laptop isn't portable anymore [03:15] so in all like a 2 or 3 hour event [03:15] i have officially "grounded it", FAA, not in trouble [03:15] if it goes well, maybe try it monthly? or every other month? i dont know [03:16] yeah, hey, go for it [03:16] is there a way to pin tabs in chrome and have it saved for when i get home? or are pinned tabs exclusive to the computer im using [03:16] good luck, i mean, if you're enjoying yourself, why not? [03:17] i think it's exclusive [03:17] i'm not using chrome right now though [03:17] but, i mean, you'd have to save the configuration to "the cloud" [03:18] ok, i'll ask bob marley [03:18] let me know what he says [03:18] it'd be nice to hear from him in these troubling times [03:19] i will. right after i talk to the elves too. [03:19] Bob Marleys favorite version of Ubuntu is: 11.04 NATTY [03:19] don't talk to the elves, you could get thrown in jail [03:19] why's that? [03:20] natty? [03:20] ha [03:20] nappy [03:20] i was telling pirate jokes at a party on saturday night [03:20] it's a 1 hour bus ride to csula [03:20] it was going great until... about 2 minutes into it. then they got old real quick [03:20] bummer [03:21] you can do only so many AAAARRrrrrrr jokes [03:21] going to a Baaaarrrrrrr, driving a Caaaarrrrrr [03:21] etc [03:21] you should change it up, make it skull and bones jokes. 322 [03:21] luckily no one had tomatoes [03:21] * seidos throws a tomato at iheartubuntu [03:22] * iheartubuntu ouch! but well deserved [03:22] "down with the union!" [03:22] i just saw "gangs of New York" [03:22] there was tomato throwing (and lettuce) in it [03:23] i havent seen that in a while [03:23] midnight in paris was good [03:24] that butcher dude was creepy, creepier than "the butcher" demon in diablo [03:24] hey iheartubuntu have you considered having an ubuntu event at your house? [03:24] my sister still plays that... on ubuntu now [03:24] cool. i played warcraft 2, like one scenario. [03:24] i have not. i guess i could. the living room is covered in dust right now [03:24] it was slightly laggy [03:25] i should see about getting duke nukem 3d [03:25] i wonder how it would run on my notebook [03:25] sanding the walls where i just put in windows [03:25] ah [03:25] go for the original duke nukem [03:25] how's that going? [03:25] its going. i just dont have time [03:25] im at work still [03:25] i was looking for a multiplayer game [03:25] single player games bore me [03:26] that reminds me. i need to present my findings for the CA team game night at the next meeting [03:26] k^2 [03:27] need to reboot. brb. [03:38] RMS' rss feeds are dreary today, there was a silver lining. apparently california's lower house voted to ban trade in shark fins [03:38] but Obama bombing libya for oil and this WTO stuff is a bummer [03:39] yah [03:39] i was reading an article about the mexican drug gangs in mexico.. that is one messed up situation too [03:42] yeah. "el mas loco". [03:42] i read about him. [03:42] im surprised ubuntu one does not have a mobile site [03:42] i just want to access my notes and contacts, not stream music [03:42] i get by without using ubuntu one... [03:43] a usb drive should do the trick [03:43] i guess they're more expensive than ubuntu one [03:44] eh, i guess i'm just not a "bleeding edge type" [03:44] what font type are you [03:46] fixedsys :P [03:46] that's the only one i can think of, really [03:47] i'm rewatching star trek voyager, maybe the star trek font [03:48] did u like the star trek movie last year? [03:48] i thought it was pretty good [03:49] yeah, it was all right [03:49] i've been skydiving, so the skydiving scene was interesting [03:52] thats one thing i wont do [03:52] yeah, i won't do it again [03:52] i don't see the point [03:52] if i could do anything again, it would probably be surfing [04:20] Did anyone hear about the two guys who robbed a calandar factory? They each got 6 months. [04:20] sigh :) [04:21] *brick* [04:22] haha [04:22] I stood there wondering, “Why is that Frisbee getting bigger?” Then it hit me. [04:23] ha [04:23] i like frisbee [04:23] they had frisbee golf at golden gate park [04:23] when i would walk through the park i'd have to watch out when walking [04:23] there was one time that i realized i was standing in line of fire [04:24] then it hit you? [04:25] actually, never hit me [04:26] i was also meditating under a tree once, and a frisbee landed near by [04:26] i remember it was raining [04:26] well, i guess it hit me figuratively [04:27] akk: lol, poor jokes get hit with a brick? :P [04:27] nigelb: yep :) [04:27] id better not tell any pirate jokes then [04:28] heh [04:28] * akk has been bricked more than once on another channel where it's a common reaction to such jokes [04:28] who here's a fan of broadway and plays and muscials? [04:29] A while back, but been out of it for quite a while. [04:29] A guy walks into a shrink wearing only bicycle shorts. the shrink says "well, i can clearly see youre nuts" [04:30] musicals are good [04:30] i saw fiddler on the roof in SF last year [04:30] was good! [04:30] nice [04:30] I've been wwatching this one again and again, its from the opening of the Toney awards [04:30] *Tony [04:30] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6S5caRGpK4 [04:30] just saw a play here in pasadena a couple weeks ago [04:30] The last musical I saw was Lion King, which was great. [04:31] I want to see that, it's playing at mandalay bay in vegas [04:31] i went to a seafood disco last week... and pulled a muscle. [04:32] nigelb: speaking of neil patrick harris, seen dr horrible's sing along blog? [04:32] pleia2: No, link me :) [04:32] pleia2: Also, Lion King musical sounds awesome [04:32] * nigelb <3 Disney Movies of the old [04:32] nigelb: http://doctorhorrible.net/watch/ [04:33] pleia2: Lion King is worth it. Also nigelb go watch Dr. Horrible. It's 3 parts in 15 minutes each and it's great. [04:33] i went to the butchers the other day and bet him 50 bucks that he couldnt reach the meat on the top shelf. he said "no the steaks are too high" [04:33] haha, this is great (only halfway through) [04:34] oh bah, Hulu. [04:36] yeah, I have it on dvd [04:37] iheartubuntu: mussels [04:38] i have big mussels, my name is russel [04:38] you have to tell it out loud i think. [04:38] i saw Dr. Horrible at the Egyptian Theater [04:38] along with some D&D thing, forget what it was called [04:38] in hollywood? [04:38] yeah, Hollywood [04:39] Wow, that brings back memories [04:39] nice place [04:39] used to love the Egyptian [04:39] by the same director, it was about these people that play MMORPGs [04:39] i was never in love with the Egyptian [04:39] gf won tickets [04:40] When I was a kid I liked it because of the Anubis statues in the lobby. :) [04:40] i mean i didn't *hate it* [04:40] oh nevermind [04:40] * seidos throws his hands in the air [04:41] i saw a 3D film festival there a few years back [04:42] pleia2: Dr Horrible's DVD commentary track was great. :) [04:42] Great Tony opening. NPH is awesome but that kind of singing is extremely hard to do without a monitor. [04:42] (Which makes him more awesome.) [04:42] wow, 2006 it was [04:43] what i meant to say were "the anubis statues were neat" [04:43] *was [04:43] * seidos laughs [04:44] list of the movies... http://www.3dfilmpf.org/3d-film-expo/trailers.html [04:46] i'm going to see 8 movies at the LA film festival this year [04:46] i'm looking forward to winnie the pooh :x [04:47] there is a french film festival coming soon to LA not sure when tho but soon. [04:48] oh great, Felicia Day's character's name in "Dr. Horrible..." is "penny" [04:48] her name might as well be "fiat currency" in this day and age [04:48] i decided to list out the 7 seals of revelation, apparently the 6th one is the most important [04:49] one of my friends called MJ captain hammer, I laughed for like 2 days [04:49] then asked him not to kill me [04:49] ;) [04:49] pleia2: MJ is your man-friend? [04:49] yes [04:49] ah, right, "The Guild" [04:49] that's what it was [04:50] maybe i would have remembered it if i had ever been in a "guild", or ever had played "guild wars" [04:50] Captain Hammer must be a Mason [04:50] pleia2: haha, you should just call him "captain" hereforth :P [04:51] MJ hasn't actually seen it [04:51] I ruined my movie cred at home by making him watch too many horrible old movies I think :) [04:52] haha [04:52] "we should watch 'dr horrible'" "eh.. maybe some other time..." [04:52] pleia2: like what? [04:52] seidos: the brain that wouldn't die! [04:52] the the like [04:52] pleia2: sounds horrible [04:52] s/the the/and the [04:52] pleia2: d is why I haven't seen many musicals lately. [04:52] Men! [04:52] :) [04:52] haha [04:52] +1 [04:52] my sis has horrible movie tastes. i know better now if she recommends a movie not to see it. if she hates a movie i know i'll like it [04:52] i tried watching Rent when it came on t.v... [04:52] i failed [04:53] i liked that Tuscany movie...man, my memory is terrible [04:53] He 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] to be fair, he did go with me to see Tangled, and disney cartoons are all musicals :) [04:53] tuscany? [04:53] my wife likes under the tuscan sun [04:54] I loved sweeney todd [04:54] iheartubuntu: it's like the best fem movie i've seen that comes to mind [04:54] but johnny depp is dreamy :) even when crazy [04:54] what is [04:54] I was so excited when there was finally a DVD of Sweeney -- I saw it as a teenager and loved it. [04:54] actually i like it too :) [04:54] pleia2: i saw the old sweeney todd in high school. horrific [04:54] once you go tuscan you never go back [04:54] seidos: old movie? [04:54] iheartubuntu: under the tuscan sun, thanks [04:55] and yeah, johnny depp++ [04:55] pleia2: yeah, along with metamorphosis [04:55] iheartubuntu: Under the tuscan sun++ [04:55] tim roth is in that one [04:55] i liked depps new movie in venice [04:55] pleia2: i think this is it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084747/ [04:56] iheartubuntu: but so predictable! (I saw it on a plane recently) [04:56] i think "under the tuscan sun" inspired me to quit my job, move to australia, and write a novel [04:56] I think Benny & Joon is still my favorite Depp movie. [04:56] a 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 rome [04:56] it contributed like 15% to the decision [04:56] Chocolat is a good Depp movie [04:56] ah, yeah Chocolat was good [04:56] yes, it was [04:57] are u still working on the novel? [04:57] Don Juan de Marco was good too (that was him, wasn't it?) [04:57] I should rent that again [04:57] iheartubuntu: nah, finished it. working on 2nd [04:57] haven't got it published yet [04:57] publish!!!! [04:57] probably need to get rejected 200 more times [04:57] akk: ooh, I haven't seen it [04:57] use lulu.com or something [04:57] it was published, but http://thewebsiteisdown.com [04:57] self publish [04:57] i used feedbooks, i didn't like it [04:58] no $, or B for that matter [04:58] nice, Don Juan DeMarco is on instant netflix [04:58] i could probably print out a copy [04:58] so is benny and joon! [04:58] i'll repost it as soon as i get my old server over here [04:58] u need to make it available everywhere seidos. not just on one site [04:58] i'm not sure that i saw Benny and Joon [04:59] iheartubuntu: that's actually a brilliant idea [04:59] example for music is cdbaby. u upload your music there and they put it for sale on like 15 sites [04:59] i'll do that as soon as i get the data. should be done on the 11th [04:59] i'm working on a 2nd novel, i have 2 chapters to go i think [04:59] pleia2: Both of those were great roles for him (though "great role for johnny depp" is a pretty broad category) [04:59] cool [04:59] a good old movie is "the tin drum" [04:59] ok, dinnertime, later all [04:59] just as weird as the novel [05:00] salut pleia2 [05:00] bye bye [05:00] ciao! [05:00] i watched the star wars clone wars cartoon in italian [05:00] are there screen adaptations of any of hemingways books? [05:01] farewell to arms was on the other day [05:01] not sure if you could sit through it, though [05:01] i couldn't [05:01] i couldn't suspend my disbelief during the xplosions [05:02] I read an excerpt from Die Blechtrommel in class. Wasn't sure I cared to keep going in German. :) [05:05] i liked the movie better than the book [05:05] we read it in english class [05:05] i watched "the letter m" in german [05:05] it kind of was self-explanatory though [05:05] like spring,summer,fall,winter,and spring [05:11] does that star Big Bird? [05:12] haha no, i wish it had [05:12] snuffalupagus even better [05:13] i think i have the title wrong, one moment [05:13] ah, yeah, it was just "M" [05:13] em, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022100/ === rww_ is now known as rww [06:58] this: http://xkcd.com/912/ [06:59] what about it? [07:00] sn9: I'm glad I don't run into that more these days. [07:00] i kind do [10:33] ok [16:17] so duke nukem forever scored 3.0 [16:17] :( [19:26] You can watch the in progress lunar eclipse live here http://eclipse.slooh.com/ or here http://www.youtube.com/google [19:28] cyprus has been doing a better job at keeping it centered (rather than default of dubai) [19:28] I found that Dubai was a bit hazy, although they both appear better now. [21:12] pleia2: Cyprus isn't doing so well at keeping the moon centered now. :( [21:12] yeah, where is the moon! [21:18] Oh, it's back. :) [21:46] Here comes the moon again! [21:49] shining on my head like a melody [22:45] hello all or whoever's in the room. does anybody here use ibus for multi-language input? [22:46] it tends to be crashy in maverick [22:47] i try not to use it [22:48] I'm lucky (lazy?) enough that all my written language is done in Latin script. [22:50] hmm, i've used it in maverick flawlessly, in fact pretty much I think from 9.10 I've been using it successfully [22:50] except now I can't get it to work on natty [22:50] i don't see any input methods and I can't seem to select different input methods on the menu bar [22:50] seems like a unity related bug. [22:51] or just maybe the language box is not installing all the necessary files. [22:51] do any of you know where the unity/ibus people hang out? [22:51] which room?
