mikedep333ahh, yes, the nvidia "optimus switchable graphics"12:13
mikedep333on windows, people can't get their graphics driver directly from nvidia.com12:13
SamuraiAlbaThis is AMD/ATI, tho12:14
mikedep333they are once again at the mercy of dell/toshiba/acer/etc for graphics driver updates12:14
mikedep333oh12:14
mikedep333my bad12:14
SamuraiAlbaIf I install the latest Catalyst drivers myself, when I reboot, Ubuntu says "no screens found"12:14
SamuraiAlbaand I'm at a command prompt12:14
* SamuraiAlba sighs12:14
SamuraiAlbaI CAN install the closed driver via the little card icon when I first install, and that runs fine, but I need the latest for AMD APP SDK :P12:15

waltmanhttp://blog.ubuntu-women.org/2011/08/new-2011-2012-ubuntu-women-leadership-team-announced/ # not sure if I should be offering pleia2 my contratulations or sympathy :)16:42
pleia2hehe16:42
pleia2thanks, it's all good16:42
waltmanYay!16:43
pleia2I was joking the other day - I was the only incumbent running so I am either power hungry or like a really horrible job (same goes for ubuntu california actually)16:43
pleia2because, you know, ubuntu women leadership is a stepping stone for president of the world!16:43

MutantTurkeyo/17:07
waltmanI had brunch with a friend yesterday, and he said that one reason he doesn't trust google/g+ is that every time he gets a facebook notification, it ends up in his gmail spam folder.17:09
MutantTurkeywaltman: I mean I don't trust G+ but that's not why...17:09
MutantTurkeythats probably because he marked it as spam accidentally.17:10
MutantTurkeyand who the heck ever reads the facebook notification emails anyways?17:10
waltmanAnyone else have that happen? It seems unlikely that Google would be keep doing it intentionally.17:10
waltmanumm, I do.17:10
MutantTurkeyreally?17:10
MutantTurkeywaltman: don't you just check facebook?17:10
waltmanI find it easier to check the folder in mutt than go to facebook.17:10
waltmanI mean, I check both, of course, depending on what I happen to be doing.17:11
MutantTurkeywhat seems to be te likely situtation is that he marked it as spam and then enver un marked it.17:11
MutantTurkeyof course. I have never used the emails personally.17:11
waltmanHe said he's had like 50 messages from facebook end up marked as spam.17:11
MutantTurkeybecause google has a smart filter. if you tag one, then they all get tagged.17:11
MutantTurkeyall your 'friend' needs to do is "mark as not spam"17:12
MutantTurkeyeither way. don't trust google.17:12
MutantTurkeyThat being said, I use every single one of their services.17:13
jedijflol17:13
jedijfyesterday i said i don't like tablet format, today i buy one on woot . i know the feeling17:14
waltmanThat's what I told him to do. It seems unlikely that after marking 50 as "not spam", it would keep doing it. So I'm guessing he's doing something wrong.17:14
MutantTurkeymost likely17:14
jedijfwaltman: un friend him; not worthy17:14
MutantTurkeyjedijf: yeah. I am convinced against tablets and touch screens at home. on the go they are great.17:14
jedijfunless that was his ice cream car17:14
MutantTurkeyI just don't like that everyone is pushing it.17:14
MutantTurkeyI am itching to try out ubuntu though, but I cant seem to make a usb drive of it17:15
jedijfMutantTurkey: waht?!17:15
jedijfMutantTurkey: livecd should still have usb creator built in; even an arch user can do it17:15
MutantTurkeyI don't have a cd drive...17:16
MutantTurkey:|17:16
jedijffail17:16
jedijfusb to ide/sata cable17:16
MutantTurkeyblech17:16
jedijfcome to sfd and i'll give you one17:16
MutantTurkeysure17:16
MutantTurkeyI am getting increasingly pissy at ubuntu. they are practically not even in the FOSS ecosystem except to rape it for its goods.17:17
jedijfplus, i think pacs owes you a usb drive17:17
MutantTurkeyex. they make unity. then they don't publish it for everyone on other distros.17:17
jedijfMutantTurkey: be careful what you ask for17:17
MutantTurkeyyou just might get it17:17
jedijflet them refine it, before they give it to others; getting enough grief from their own people17:17
MutantTurkeyI know17:18
MutantTurkeyI don't even want to talk about gnome3... what a disaster.17:18
jedijffor me, it's a push, unity and gnome3; i have gnome3 on my arch box17:18
MutantTurkeyeach new release of every DE is reduced and reduced option.17:18
MutantTurkeyjedijf: I can't seem to get gnome3 to do what I want.17:18
MutantTurkeythere are literally no options.17:18
jedijfi don't really /use/ it, but it's there; mostly ssh into the box anyway17:19
MutantTurkeyI am working on Xfce mostly these days, just because it's as gnome2.6 asI can get it.17:19
MutantTurkeyssh++17:19
MutantTurkeyalso they are making ubuntu steadily harder for the power user.17:19
jedijfthat's the best thing about these changes; people are finally trying/adopting alternate wm/de's17:19
MutantTurkeyI know.17:20
MutantTurkeyhopefully my one project takes off17:20
pleia2facebook emails don't go to my gmail spam box, maybe said friend accidentally marked one as spam once and it goes along with it now?17:20
MutantTurkeyI have been working for some time on TDE17:20
MutantTurkeyIt's a awesome desktop.17:20
MutantTurkeywith our next release we are hoping to jump our user count17:20
pleia2g+ sends too much email by default though, it's pretty obnoxious17:21
MutantTurkeypleia2: yes, I had to disable all my G+ emails. and buzz as well (though buzz basically failed)17:21
pleia2the app is noisy too "alert every time someone replies to a huddle" .. uh no, a huddle is like a chat room17:21
waltmanI'm just going to stick with windowmaker until this whole gnome/unity mess shakes itself out :)17:29
MutantTurkeywaltman: windowmaker indeed.17:52
MutantTurkeyactually jwm I used and loved for a long time. People underestimate it.17:53
MutantTurkeyit provides a robust configuration method, and a nice panel17:53
MutantTurkeyisn't it great when your boss tells you that there is a meeting at 2PM sharp, then doesn't show up. and apparently told us to meet in the wrong room where a much more serious meeting was taking place.18:04
TheEvilPhoenixlol18:04
waltmanMaybe he showed up at the *right* room.18:09
waltman...and is wondering where all you slackers are.18:09
MutantTurkeywaltman:there is only one conference room.18:13
MutantTurkeyand it was reserved by some big head doodz18:13
waltmanHow could he tell you the wrong room if there's only *one* room?18:17
MutantTurkeywaltman: because he wasnt there!18:18
MutantTurkeyand his office was empty18:18
waltmanDid you check the men's room? :)18:18
MutantTurkeyOH BOY.18:23
MutantTurkeyacually just got a call18:23
MutantTurkeyoff I go!18:23
