MutantTurkeyI was debating getting the slice battery, but I am got the 9cell00:39

jedijfi excited for you00:43
MutantTurkeyi am excited to run linux on a non-ghetto system00:43
MutantTurkeyI can actually use new features and run Gnome and things!00:43
jedijfexpectations lead to resentments00:43
MutantTurkeylol00:44
MutantTurkeyI am definitely still doing arch00:44
MutantTurkeyI had a half second though of trying ubuntu... I dunno00:44
MutantTurkeyUnity seems cool though, but I don't know if the workflow is any good.00:44
jedijfit actually is00:44
MutantTurkeyI was on a Mac all summer and I am finally getting back into a regular workflow00:44
jedijfonce you get used to it00:44
MutantTurkeyI need tiling really badly00:44
jedijfi am better on unity than gnome3; but that's just because of usage00:45
MutantTurkeygnome3 is not usable imho00:45
MutantTurkeyand also doesn't have any config (wtf?)00:45
MutantTurkeyevery new version the options get dumbed down more and more00:45
jedijfunity on my pacs netty get used all night; gnome3 is sitting on my arch box in the cave, but rarely use xwin on it00:45
MutantTurkeyI want more options not less!00:45
MutantTurkeyonce I get a laptop, this Atom is going to be my file server.00:46
MutantTurkeydebating about dropping my VPS now that I could have a dedicated server.00:46

JonathanDjedijf: yes.12:17
JonathanDjedijf: I forgot about that.12:17
JonathanDIt's in my box-o-foss-stuff.12:17
JonathanDI think.12:17
jedijfrabbi fight is now way to start tuesday13:07
jedijfs/now/no13:07
JonathanDI need an HDD.13:16
jthanJonathanD: newegg daily deals13:20
JonathanDmayhaps.13:20
JonathanDThe low end ones are only $40 anyway on newegg.13:20
jthanYeah. I'm pretty picky about my drives.13:21
JonathanDThis is for a T60 I have sitting around.13:21
JonathanDI'm not even sure what I'll use it for. Don't want to go nuts on it.13:21
jthanI don't know why. I have mirrored backups now, and it's not like I use windows to worry about using my product key too many times if I had to reinstall :-p13:21
JonathanDI think in this case cheaper is better.13:22
JonathanDMy money goes into the T61, not the T6013:22
jthanandrew: you do mirrored backups, right? If so - what method do you use?13:23
jthanMy way is just rigged - I have a bunch of bash scripts that just use rsync to keep folders in sync across drives.13:24
* jthan is going off on a tangent13:24
InHisNameG'mawnin'13:24
JonathanDI think I'll get more ram for the 61, move it's ram to the 60, and get a cheap disk.13:24
jthanWhat kind of disk are you really looking for? If you're really looking for "cheap" there's a whole bunch sitting in my computer room13:25
JonathanD$149 for the ram.13:25
JonathanDjthan: well, I wanted to have this thing around as a spare... for the kids to mess on, or for my parents when they go to the shore.13:25
JonathanDIt'll probably have to be a dual boot since they'll want windows. So "big enough" for that, but thats it.13:26
jthanI think I have a 250GB drive out of a dell sitting right now13:26
jthanBut I'd have to check to verify that13:26
JonathanDSATA 2.5 inch?13:26
jthanI do believe, yes.13:26
JonathanDI think the 60 is sata, anyway.13:26
JonathanDI had a 160 in my desk but I just fired it up and it looks very broken.13:26
JonathanDclicky clicky broken.13:26
jthanHate when that happens.13:26
jthanAnyhow, if you can use it and I do indeed have it, you're welcome to it.13:27
jthanBecause obviously I'm not using it.13:27
JonathanDThat would make me happy.13:27
JonathanDI hate to see a thinkpad not working :P13:27
JonathanDIt was working, mind. When it was given to me it had a 200GB solid state.13:27
JonathanDBut thats in my 61 now.13:28
JonathanDand the disk from my 61 is acting funny.13:28
jthanIf you think of it, PM me later and remind me to check when I get home tonight. I won't get home til about 10 probably.13:28
InHisNameI have issues with 11.04 on my spare computer  - NONE of the installers work all have crash bug start when trying to use.   So I have choice in 11.04 install disk:   Upgrade 11.04 to 11.04      .....    OR .....     Wipe out 11.04 and install 11.04.   /home backed up and saved list of installed goodies from apt-get.13:28
JonathanDas in "writing" stuff that can't be read later.13:28
JonathanDok.13:28
JonathanDI'm confused.13:29
JonathanDYOu have 11.04, but the 11.04 disk doesn't work?13:29
jthanNo - aptitude/apt-get aren't working13:29
InHisNameyes, the 1104 installed has broken.  Needs to be fixed.13:29
JonathanDah13:29
JonathanDthat makes more sense.13:29
jthanInHisName: Where is your /home backed up? If it's on a seperate partition you should be able to keep it in tact when you reinstall.13:30
jthanIf not, you just have to move the files back after your install from wherever your /home is13:30
InHisNameSo, I have choice on 11.04 disk:   upgrade 11.04 to 11.04        ---- or    -------   wipeout partition and install fresh new.13:31
jthaninstall fresh13:31
InHisName   /home is backed up to a networked drive on another box.   I have copy of all installed goodies from apt-get saved in file.  I can use that to REinstall everything.      Why skip over the upgrade same to same ?   Any rationale ?13:35
jthanDoesn't make sense, might not eliminate the problem.13:35
jthanWhy not take the safe road and start fresh?13:35
InHisNameSo You take the do it ONCE and for all and be DONE with it!  method.13:36
InHisNameProbably the best justification of them all.13:37
jthanYes. That's how I work.13:37
erstazihas anyone ever seen a DVD that is larger than 6GB? or is DD just running wild?13:45
InHisNamearen't double sided at 9GB ?13:48
erstaziInHisName: yes, but this is single sided (: I think /bin/dd was running wild!13:49
InHisNameOH,13:49
InHisNameI am trying to reinstall ubuntu.   The partition is lvm.    I've installed in liveCD lvm2.  What else do I need to do to get the partition visible to the installer ?13:50
InHisName/dev/sda9   needs to be connected into lvm somehow13:51
InHisNameerstazi: I assme it is NOT blu-ray13:52
InHisNames/ss/ssu/13:52
erstaziInHisName: nope. just a data DVD. I think /bin/dd was just running wild13:54
InHisNamebettern' girls gone wild ?13:55
erstaziprobably, who knows (:13:55
erstaziso, this is even more odd, in Win2k3, it says it is 7.54 GB!14:51
ChinnoDogStandard dual layer single sided DVD is 8.4gb. Why is this surprising?14:52
erstaziChinnoDog: this is single layer14:52
erstazialso, it is a very highly proprietary CD.14:53
ChinnoDogWhat is this an install CD for?14:53
erstaziChinnoDog: um, let me PM you. Do you mind?14:54
ChinnoDognp14:54
