| wrst | hey chris4585 | 02:26 |
|---|---|---|
| chris4585 | hey wrst | 02:29 |
| chris4585 | guess what? | 02:29 |
| chris4585 | the suspense is killing me, I'm finally on arch again | 02:34 |
| chris4585 | sadly I had to remove windows (I know) and ubuntu which I didn't really want, but apparently cfdisk had issues reading my partition table | 02:34 |
| wrst | chris4585: cool how you liking it? | 02:38 |
| chris4585 | I'm still setting it up | 02:39 |
| wrst | and chris4585 I've used gparted to do the partitioning and then just install to that partition skipping cfdisk | 02:39 |
| chris4585 | but yeah so far I do like it | 02:39 |
| wrst | partitioning on arch stinks in the setup :) | 02:39 |
| chris4585 | I would have done that but every livecd I kept putting in my computer wouldn't get past the loading | 02:39 |
| wrst | weird | 02:39 |
| chris4585 | yes very annoying, I think I screwed my cd drive, like my last one somehow.. | 02:40 |
| chris4585 | anyway I must reboot | 02:40 |
| wrst | happy rebooting | 02:40 |
| chris4585 | there we go, mostly everything is in place besides awn :) | 02:45 |
| wrst | cool, | 02:45 |
| wrst | I'm a fan of arch chris4585 as you know | 02:46 |
| wrst | i was afraid stability would be an issue but I hate to say it but its been much more stable for me than ubuntu | 02:46 |
| chris4585 | yeah, I'm just happy I can use gnome shell now happily | 02:46 |
| wrst | yeah gnome shell in ubuntu even in the oneric (spelling) is still lacking | 02:46 |
| chris4585 | mhm | 02:47 |
| chris4585 | wrst, how do you search for packages in pacman? | 02:55 |
| chris4585 | its been a while lol | 02:56 |
| chris4585 | wrst, http://i.imgur.com/2FUtj.png | 03:09 |
| chris4585 | behold :D | 03:09 |
| wrst | chris4585: nice | 10:27 |
| wrst | and chris4585 to search is pacman -Ss | 10:28 |
| wrst | I use gnome package kit also if you like a graphical frontend and it works really nicely | 10:28 |
| cyberanger | GUI too Gooey for me | 10:33 |
| wrst | cyberanger: some of us like pretty things | 10:41 |
| cyberanger | and some of us like the KISS principle | 10:42 |
| wrst | ha cyberanger I like clicky clicky pointy pointy | 10:46 |
| wrst | cyberanger: we will have to pick this argument up in about 45 minutes gotta get headed to work :) | 10:46 |
| cyberanger | lol, ok | 10:48 |
| * cyberanger waits 5 more minutes | 11:10 | |
| cyberanger | ;-) | 11:10 |
| cyberanger | wrst: you back at a nice comphy gooey terminal | 11:25 |
| wrst | ok cyberanger I'm here now :) | 11:40 |
| wrst | got delayed getting breakfast | 11:40 |
| cyberanger | lol, food is good, clocking on time is also good | 11:43 |
| cyberanger | that got me wondering, how many accountants gotta be at work before 6am | 11:43 |
| cyberanger | I kinda thought that was a 9-5 profession | 11:43 |
| wrst | ha before 7AM when you are in the construction business everyone is up early :) | 11:43 |
| cyberanger | right, 7am, just awake & leaving before 6am | 11:45 |
| cyberanger | still, wow | 11:45 |
| cyberanger | do what you gotta do, right? | 11:45 |
| wrst | ha ha yeah well I'm not a morning person but everything else about the job is good for me so I can take that one | 11:46 |
| cyberanger | yeah, I know that, had to get up at 330 am , leave my place at 430 am, clock in at 5am to sell donuts (actually not a bad job, in ways better than IT) | 11:49 |
| wrst | hey just having a job is a good thing right now cyberanger | 12:12 |
| cyberanger | indeed :-/ | 12:17 |
| wrst | yeah trying to find work... not so easy of any type | 12:21 |
| cyberanger | yeah, high spirits, but not dissolusioned from the fact it's not the easiest of time | 12:22 |
| wrst | yeah so whatever the job its just good to get a paycheck | 12:25 |
| pace_t_zulu | orangeninja: ping | 16:48 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: how's it going? | 17:00 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: ok ... you? | 17:01 |
| pace_t_zulu | cyberanger: all my free time has been spent working on my house | 17:01 |
| cyberanger | pace_t_zulu: good enough, and house work is good | 17:02 |
| cyberanger | done some of that myself | 17:02 |
| wrst | pace_t_zulu: how is the house going? | 17:08 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: it is a lot of work ... right now i am doing most of it on my own .. | 17:13 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: but i am very excited about it | 17:13 |
| wrst | that is cool pace_t_zulu | 17:14 |
| wrst | we have bought another house or in process and thought ours was sold... until this morning :) | 17:15 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: that didn't make complete sense to me | 17:15 |
| pace_t_zulu | maybe just because it is monday | 17:15 |
| wrst | oh yeah it didn't to me either... | 17:15 |
| wrst | we are in the process of buying a house, and thought we had our current one sold until this morning and something has happened on the financing with the folks buying ours | 17:16 |
| cyberanger | wrst: ouch | 17:17 |
| cyberanger | so that nice little bit about buying and selling on the same day didn't happen, that's a mess | 17:18 |
| wrst | cyberanger: no well, yeah it happened but I would have thought you would make sure before you signed papers ona house | 17:19 |
| wrst | but either way we were going to buy this other house so its just complicated our life for a month or two until we get our current sold | 17:20 |
| cyberanger | the key words there are think & make sure | 17:21 |
| cyberanger | some people make sure not to think | 17:21 |
| wrst | yes cyberanger I agree, but could be something out of their control who knows | 17:21 |
| wrst | anyway, cyberanger, want to buy a house? :) | 17:21 |
| cyberanger | wrst: yeah true, health and life insurance have gotten worthless, and hence can wreak finances in a heartbeat | 17:24 |
| cyberanger | for example | 17:24 |
| cyberanger | and yeah, I want to buy one | 17:24 |
| * cyberanger looks at wallet, sees more dust than paper | 17:24 | |
| wrst | ha ha cyberanger well you're no good then ;) | 17:24 |
| cyberanger | maybe next decade | 17:24 |
| cyberanger | what can I say, accountants know how to control money, geeks spend | 17:25 |
| cyberanger | this gizmo looks better than last months | 17:25 |
| wrst | what gizmo cyberanger? | 17:27 |
| cyberanger | one I can't resist (in 2008 it was a fancy laptop, in 2010 it was a smartphone, in 2011 it's realizing my wallet is a symbol for not buying a gadget this year) | 17:28 |
| cyberanger | *empty wallet* | 17:28 |
| cyberanger | I think if I had something on my mind atm, it'd be a custom built server | 17:29 |
| cyberanger | or a custom built router | 17:29 |
| wrst | or both? :) | 17:29 |
| cyberanger | if possible perhaps | 17:30 |
| wrst | i'm happy with my store bought router, but I'm starting to think a slightly more powerful server woudl be nice | 17:30 |
| wrst | I may add a little more ram to mine | 17:31 |
| cyberanger | well, I am happy with my router, however I like upgrading some parts of it | 17:33 |
| cyberanger | the wireless access point mainly | 17:33 |
| wrst | interesting sounds like a fun project | 17:34 |
| cyberanger | well, in a few months it should be | 17:39 |
| cyberanger | a few ubiquiti bullets, perhaps a better configuration for squid | 17:39 |
| cyberanger | upgrade the wifi and cache | 17:39 |
| chris4585 | wrst, I can't seem to get package kit running | 18:30 |
| chris4585 | any magical words I have to say first? | 18:30 |
| wrst | chris4585: did you install it from the aur? | 18:31 |
| chris4585 | nope, I haven't got aur setup yet | 18:31 |
| wrst | seems like i had to nab soemthing from the AUR let me do some looking | 18:31 |
| wrst | but it was pretty painless best I recall | 18:32 |
| chris4585 | I think I found it... | 18:33 |
| chris4585 | maybe | 18:33 |
| wrst | good what was it? | 18:33 |
| wrst | chris4585: did you check the wiki out about the architecture set to auto issue? | 18:34 |
| wrst | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_GUI_Frontends#GNOME.2FGTK.2B | 18:34 |
| chris4585 | well I think I'm close, I half it installed I just don't know how to execute it | 18:40 |
| chris4585 | but it'll have to wait until I get back | 18:41 |
| chris4585 | I take that back.. | 18:46 |
| chris4585 | looks like I found it | 18:46 |
| wrst | oh just finding it in the menu? | 18:51 |
| chris4585 | wrst, basically, I searched for install and saw add/remove and I guess I just missed it in /usr/share/applications | 20:54 |
| chris4585 | I've used it previously on fedora and yeah I like packagekit | 20:55 |
| wrst | ok showed up as add remove in gnome shell i think that's rightand the updater works too which is cool | 21:01 |
| chris4585 | yeah, I like it | 21:09 |
| wrst | me too | 21:14 |
| chris4585 | hey wrst do you know how to get packagekit to display information from the aur? | 23:36 |
| wrst | chris4585: no I don't not for sure if that is possible... it would be really cool if it did | 23:52 |
| chris4585 | ah alright, I thought it was a regular repository or something | 23:54 |
| chris4585 | yaourt works just aswell for what I want | 23:54 |
| wrst | yeah well thing is the aur isn't really a repository for pacman.. I think i said that right? | 23:56 |
| chris4585 | I'm honestly not sure but it feels like one | 23:56 |
| wrst | yes it does but if it were you wouldn't need yaourt | 23:57 |
| wrst | i ran the testing repo for a while... that can get you in trouble :) | 23:57 |
| chris4585 | mhm | 23:58 |
| chris4585 | sometime soon I'm gonna backup my whole system, before in the past that was very useful | 23:58 |
| wrst | ok chris4585 i see the deal the aur doesn't really have packages | 23:59 |
| wrst | It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman. | 23:59 |
| chris4585 | ah | 23:59 |
| wrst | chris4585: ^^ from the AUR wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository | 23:59 |
