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