[10:29] not before he say morning here [10:30] no doubt he'll come up with some lame excuse :-D [10:30] a lame leg ? [10:31] couldn't walk from bed to computer, now that's a REALLY lame leg. [10:34] breakfast time [10:53] wake up for family, later [10:57] I slept in. [10:57] I'm on vacation. [10:58] Good morning :P [11:07] JonathanD: your the one that is supposed to be the first to say morning in this channel ;-) [11:09] rmg51: someone else gets that job this week :P [11:13] I guess that's me :P [11:17] rmg51: and sometimes I do run first. Depends on when I get up :p [11:28] I'm "running" off to work :-/ [11:38] Randy runs ? [12:04] morning [12:08] Good bacon to all! [12:09] Not a radeon 6670 in lappy... 6770. But the BIOS initializes the Intel HD 3000 first >.< [12:13] ahh, yes, the nvidia "optimus switchable graphics" [12:13] on windows, people can't get their graphics driver directly from nvidia.com [12:14] This is AMD/ATI, tho [12:14] they are once again at the mercy of dell/toshiba/acer/etc for graphics driver updates [12:14] oh [12:14] my bad [12:14] If I install the latest Catalyst drivers myself, when I reboot, Ubuntu says "no screens found" [12:14] and I'm at a command prompt [12:14] * SamuraiAlba sighs [12:15] I 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 :P [12:15] SamuraiAlba, I noticed this in the windows release notes [12:15] http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst118ReleaseNotes.aspx [12:15] The following notebooks are not compatible with this release:... [12:16] Switchable Graphics enabled notebooks using IntelĀ® chipsets. [12:16] DOH! [12:16] ok. Reinstalling Ubuntu via WUBI, again [12:17] http://www2.ati.com/relnotes/Catalyst_11.8_Linux_Installer.pdf [12:17] I get so frustrated trying to fix X.... [12:17] those are the linux release notes [12:17] SamuraiAlba, what catalyst driver are you using? [12:17] the one bundled with natty? [12:17] because that's from march or april or whatever [12:17] SamuraiAlba, also [12:18] have you tried unloading intel's competing kernel module(s)? [12:18] bundled, initially [12:18] and havent tried that [12:18] I know it accesses linux's shared ones [12:18] eg, dri [12:18] also [12:18] just gonna stick with bundled [12:18] google is your friend :) [12:18] and then try to get the app SDK symlinks done LOL [12:19] then.. Pyrit_OpenCL [12:19] SamuraiAlba, I would definitely using the august release (catalyst 11.8) [12:19] *definitely suggest using [12:19] my google fu is weak.

[12:21] I prefer exerting about 11k newtons of force with a knee to the sternum... [12:21] * SamuraiAlba giggles [12:21] lol [12:22] actually, not really, but I can joke :) [12:22] * SamuraiAlba has to do more khan academy courses before college... [12:22] I don't think Samurai are THAT powerful [12:22] ahh, yes, the khan academy [12:22] Muay Thai Chaiya... [12:22] ;) [12:23] by the time I heard of the Khan academy, I was in college [12:23] I graduated in december [12:23] gratz! What was your major :) [12:23] ?

[12:24] just as I enjoy fixing people's computers [12:25] I find it fun. [12:25] Fun is cursing the devil besotted end user and changing their pasword to die-die-die... [12:25] lol [12:25] or as a network admin [12:25] I need more space! [12:25] setting it so they have to change their password EVERY SINGLE DAY [12:25] *deltes users files* [12:25] *Deletes [12:25] hands shaking [12:25] waiting for sugar to get back up [12:25] woah [12:26] ist.psu.edu redid their website [12:26] http://www.psu.edu/ did not [12:26] although they may have made the characters larger or something [12:26] ie, it is now optimized for 1024px wide screens rather than 800px wide screens [12:29] well I gotta leave the #touchpad #touchdroid & #webos-internals channels [12:29] they're just madness [12:30] #touchdroid was supposed to be a developers only channel for porting android to the touchpad [12:30] instead everyone chats about everything in there now [12:32] aye [12:33] I was thinking of getting an HP for $149 (32gb) [12:33] decide the 1k laptop is better LOL [12:33] *decided [12:43] SamuraiAlba, why not get a $850 laptop & a $150 touchpad? [12:44] If all my orders go through, I will have either a $150 + tax touchpad or a $100 + tax & shipping touchpad to sell [12:44] for what I paid [12:45] Core i7 2.0Ghz (up to 2.93), 6 GB ram, Intel HD 3000 & Radeon 6770 graphics, 750 gb HD, 2 USB 3, 2 USB 2, HDMI, gig E, VGA, beats audio, 15.?" screen, Blu ray, fingerprint scanner, 974.99 with a 50 rebate on top [12:45] :) [12:46] Discover Black Card... *sigh* blew over 3500 on it in a week [12:46] nice [12:46] lol [12:46] they botched my financial aid, and I had to pay up front and get a check later.

Wanna get it done [12:48] ok [12:48] anyway, I gotta get to work [12:48] ttyl [12:49] I like my class list, except for western civ and sociology being required... :( [12:49] have fun :) [12:49] thx [12:49] yw [15:22] Good bacon to all! [16:13] No bacon in a potato, sammy [16:25] *yawns* [16:28] When something evil yawns - it REALLY is boring [16:41] NO *wonder* this channel was so quiet! [16:42] http://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] hehe [16:42] thanks, it's all good [16:43] Yay! [16:43] I 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] because, you know, ubuntu women leadership is a stepping stone for president of the world! [16:46] or princess of Alderan :) [16:47] congrats pleia2, i guess tiaras are out ofthe question? [16:48] I'll take one [16:48] pink, of course. [16:48] sweet, you should definitely get one this upcoming halloween season; that's when I got my crown last year [16:49] actually, one of the other UW leaders got me this after the UDS in Orlando I couldn't attend last year: https://picasaweb.google.com/114018915395046539523/7131103#5629025371640892882 [16:49] (not the android, the hat, the android is just being silly) [16:49] ((maybe I was being silly)) [16:53] this year i am adding a robe, maybe kadafi's will be on ebay [16:57] make sure to take note of the return address [17:07] o/ [17:09] I 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] waltman: I mean I don't trust G+ but that's not why... [17:10] thats probably because he marked it as spam accidentally. [17:10] and who the heck ever reads the facebook notification emails anyways? [17:10] Anyone else have that happen? It seems unlikely that Google would be keep doing it intentionally. [17:10] umm, I do. [17:10] really? [17:10] waltman: don't you just check facebook? [17:10] I find it easier to check the folder in mutt than go to facebook. [17:11] I mean, I check both, of course, depending on what I happen to be doing. [17:11] what seems to be te likely situtation is that he marked it as spam and then enver un marked it. [17:11] of course. I have never used the emails personally. [17:11] He said he's had like 50 messages from facebook end up marked as spam. [17:11] because google has a smart filter. if you tag one, then they all get tagged. [17:12] all your 'friend' needs to do is "mark as not spam" [17:12] either way. don't trust google. [17:13] That being said, I use every single one of their services. [17:13] lol [17:14] yesterday i said i don't like tablet format, today i buy one on woot . i know the feeling [17:14] That'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] most likely [17:14] waltman: un friend him; not worthy [17:14] jedijf: yeah. I am convinced against tablets and touch screens at home. on the go they are great. [17:14] unless that was his ice cream car [17:14] I just don't like that everyone is pushing it. [17:15] I am itching to try out ubuntu though, but I cant seem to make a usb drive of it [17:15] MutantTurkey: waht?! [17:15] MutantTurkey: livecd should still have usb creator built in; even an arch user can do it [17:16] I don't have a cd drive... [17:16] :| [17:16] fail [17:16] usb to ide/sata cable [17:16] blech [17:16] come to sfd and i'll give you one [17:16] sure [17:17] I am getting increasingly pissy at ubuntu. they are practically not even in the FOSS ecosystem except to rape it for its goods. [17:17] plus, i think pacs owes you a usb drive [17:17] ex. they make unity. then they don't publish it for everyone on other distros. [17:17] MutantTurkey: be careful what you ask for [17:17] you just might get it [17:17] let them refine it, before they give it to others; getting enough grief from their own people [17:18] I know [17:18] I don't even want to talk about gnome3... what a disaster. [17:18] for me, it's a push, unity and gnome3; i have gnome3 on my arch box [17:18] each new release of every DE is reduced and reduced option. [17:18] jedijf: I can't seem to get gnome3 to do what I want. [17:18] there are literally no options. [17:19] i don't really /use/ it, but it's there; mostly ssh into the box anyway [17:19] I am working on Xfce mostly these days, just because it's as gnome2.6 asI can get it. [17:19] ssh++ [17:19] also they are making ubuntu steadily harder for the power user. [17:19] that's the best thing about these changes; people are finally trying/adopting alternate wm/de's [17:20] I know. [17:20] hopefully my one project takes off [17:20] facebook 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] I have been working for some time on TDE [17:20] It's a awesome desktop. [17:20] with our next release we are hoping to jump our user count [17:21] g+ sends too much email by default though, it's pretty obnoxious [17:21] pleia2: yes, I had to disable all my G+ emails. and buzz as well (though buzz basically failed) [17:21] the app is noisy too "alert every time someone replies to a huddle" .. uh no, a huddle is like a chat room [17:29] I'm just going to stick with windowmaker until this whole gnome/unity mess shakes itself out :) [17:52] waltman: windowmaker indeed. [17:53] actually jwm I used and loved for a long time. People underestimate it. [17:53] it provides a robust configuration method, and a nice panel [18:04] isn'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] lol [18:09] Maybe he showed up at the *right* room. [18:09] ...and is wondering where all you slackers are. [18:13] waltman:there is only one conference room. [18:13] and it was reserved by some big head doodz [18:17] How could he tell you the wrong room if there's only *one* room? [18:18] waltman: because he wasnt there! [18:18] and his office was empty [18:18] Did you check the men's room? :) [18:23] OH BOY. [18:23] acually just got a call [18:23] off I go!
