| chris4585 | hey wrst are you using gnome from the main repositories or aur? | 01:13 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | chris4585: from the main | 01:35 |
| wrst | actually chris4585 i think its in the extra right now | 01:37 |
| wrst | but still the regular repos nothing special | 01:37 |
| chris4585 | ah alright, its pretty stable but I've noticed that the items in the systray are only one icon, and right now it appears to be skype for me lol | 01:53 |
| chris4585 | as stable as it is I've noticed a few things, but nothing major | 01:53 |
| wrst | with gnome shell? | 01:58 |
| wrst | yeah there are a few little quirks but nothin on line of how kde 4 was | 01:59 |
| wrst | when it first arrived | 01:59 |
| chris4585 | yeah | 02:00 |
| chris4585 | but I can actually say I'm getting more use to using my mouse to move to the edge of my screen to pick workspaces, then windows instead of the window list | 02:01 |
| chris4585 | I have awn running though just in case I need them | 02:02 |
| wrst | i really like the layout and how things work | 02:15 |
| wrst | i do have my desktop where I can drop files on it however | 02:15 |
| wrst | i don't keep anything there but when working with multiple files that's where i put them | 02:16 |
| chris4585 | wrst, yeah I enabled that | 02:17 |
| chris4585 | it should be like that by default but meh I always have to work to get things how I like them so there's no point in complaining | 02:17 |
| wrst | and I have minimize maximize and close buttons | 02:18 |
| chris4585 | same | 02:18 |
| wrst | i like what kde has with a widget for that have the best of both worlds | 02:18 |
| wrst | well chris4585 atleast package kit ask for a password to install new software just not to update for me | 02:21 |
| chris4585 | yeah, same | 02:23 |
| chris4585 | thats good imo, it was such a hassle to type my password just to update | 02:23 |
| chris4585 | well since I was on alpha ubuntu anyway.. | 02:23 |
| wrst | yeah I have no real complaints there | 02:23 |
| wrst | but with arch you do need to make sure you aren't updating certain things if you need your computer to function for sure | 02:23 |
| wrst | like the gnome 2 to gnome 3 upgrade or something | 02:24 |
| chris4585 | anyway to prevent that for kernel's and nvidia automatically? | 02:24 |
| chris4585 | I learned a long time that both of those will eventually screw the other one up... | 02:24 |
| wrst | somehow i'm sure but don't know how | 02:24 |
| chris4585 | ah alright | 02:25 |
| wrst | chris4585: i've not had an issue one with that on my desktop | 02:25 |
| chris4585 | you using nvidia? | 02:25 |
| wrst | yes on my desktop have intel on the laptop | 02:25 |
| chris4585 | ah okay, well in the past I had not so fun experiences | 02:25 |
| wrst | i think that has improved | 02:26 |
| chris4585 | I think the way arch is setup its so amazing, besides the manual editing of a few files | 02:26 |
| chris4585 | at first I had a problem with internet and pacman, but I got it easily enough | 02:27 |
| chris4585 | like right now I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong, but my time is not correct | 02:27 |
| chris4585 | one thing I love is restarting gnome-shell by alt-f2 and typing r | 02:28 |
| chris4585 | or reloading rather | 02:28 |
| wrst | yes that's a nice thing especially when messing with extensions | 02:29 |
| wrst | wb CosmicPizza | 12:17 |
| CosmicPizza | hey wrst | 12:37 |
| wrst | CosmicPizza: how are you doing? | 12:41 |
| wrst | morning Xpistos | 14:03 |
| Xpistos | HEY! | 14:04 |
| wrst | Xpistos: happy friday | 14:21 |
| Xpistos | I thought it was monday | 14:21 |
| Xpistos | I hate web apps with almost not install instructions | 14:25 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: I hate web apps peroid | 14:38 |
| * cyberanger wishes it was monday | 14:39 | |
| cyberanger | if it's in your posession, it's in your control | 14:41 |
| wrst | cyberanger: why do you wish for monday? | 14:45 |
| cyberanger | Some exciting possibilities in the job hunt opening up | 14:50 |
| cyberanger | and the sooner the better | 14:50 |
| cyberanger | Weekends are kinda pointless for a job hunter, means for the first time in my life I'm actually liking monday over friday | 14:52 |
| average_guy | cyberanger: you to eh? | 14:52 |
| average_guy | this is not the time to be looking for a job in America | 14:53 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: yeah, I'm only 21 too | 14:53 |
| cyberanger | the younger you are, worse it is | 14:53 |
| cyberanger | in a highly saturated feild | 14:54 |
| cyberanger | it's impossible | 14:54 |
| cyberanger | take what you get, anything you get | 14:55 |
| cyberanger | average_guy: I do freelance work, contract work, but that hurts when it slows or stops | 14:58 |
| cyberanger | hurts even more when a stable & secure job would benifit more | 14:58 |
| average_guy | I just miss working really. Being home was fun at first.... | 15:00 |
| average_guy | but being trapped in the house with a 4 yr old girl is maddening after a while | 15:02 |
| Xpistos | cyberanger: I just deleted the web app | 15:09 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: that bad eh | 15:10 |
| Xpistos | couldn't get it to work. Looked for help and they had like nothing on their own site. | 15:11 |
| Xpistos | DONE! | 15:11 |
| Xpistos | average_guy: How we doing sir! | 15:11 |
| average_guy | Xpistos: Good morning! | 15:11 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: what app | 15:12 |
| Xpistos | Odin | 15:12 |
| Xpistos | It is a web based comic management system | 15:13 |
| cyberanger | ah, obscure too, ouch | 15:19 |
| cyberanger | I used to joke that Ubuntu's documentation is a google search & a blog post (now I realize that's not a joke) | 15:20 |
| wrst | cyberanger: ubuntu's documentation is really bad | 15:28 |
| cyberanger | wrst has won the understatement of the year award | 15:32 |
| cyberanger | wrst: yeah, it's just disparable | 15:32 |
| wrst | cyberanger: i'm getting on a soap box here but Ubuntu woudl be better to have documentation than it would a lousy interface that everyone hates | 15:33 |
| cyberanger | I'm hoping I can squeeze that into our huge meeting in a week | 15:33 |
| wrst | and if they don't like how gnome is going and they are qt friendly move to kde as the default desktop | 15:34 |
| cyberanger | yeah, but maybe that's the way loco's like us can get approved | 15:34 |
| Xpistos | If something says it needs .Net 2.0 is there a chance I can run it with mono? | 15:36 |
| cyberanger | Xpistos: a chance, yes | 15:38 |
| cyberanger | a good chance, depends on the actual code | 15:38 |
| cyberanger | netflix calls DRM functions that don't (yet?) exist in mono | 15:39 |
| CosmicPizza | morning all | 16:13 |
