| ntrly_owl | Is there a good guide on the wiki for replacing network manager with wicd? | 04:49 |
|---|---|---|
| jargonfactory | rm -rf `which NetworkManager`; invoke-rc.d wicd restart ? ;-) | 04:51 |
| ntrly_owl | no thanks | 04:51 |
| jargonfactory | that's a joke | 04:52 |
| ntrly_owl | i hope so | 04:52 |
| jargonfactory | it is. | 04:52 |
| ntrly_owl | wicd doesnt come installed by default anyway | 04:52 |
| ntrly_owl | id have thought ubuntu wiki had such a guide | 04:53 |
| ntrly_owl | seems not | 04:53 |
| jargonfactory | hi folks \o. | 04:54 |
| jargonfactory | there's a config for that somewhere no? | 04:54 |
| ntrly_owl | for what | 04:55 |
| ntrly_owl | this guide seems odd, it uses bash commands and then unity: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/09/having-wireless-wi-fi-trouble-in-ubuntu-use-wicd-network-manager-instead/ | 04:55 |
| jargonfactory | cool | 04:55 |
| jargonfactory | ntrly_owl: by config, i meant wicd's config. | 05:03 |
| ntrly_owl | a config for what exactly? | 05:04 |
| ntrly_owl | im sure wicd has a config file | 05:04 |
| jargonfactory | yeah so good. go dig wicd configs, disable nm and i think you should be good :) | 05:05 |
| ntrly_owl | dig=find or tweak? | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | or be enthused about | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | man im digging this config file! woohoo! | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | not | 05:06 |
| jargonfactory | hah | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | ill use the gui anyway | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | well my friend will | 05:06 |
| jargonfactory | wicd has curses no? | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | gtk | 05:06 |
| ntrly_owl | curses is tui | 05:07 |
| ntrly_owl | iirc | 05:07 |
| ntrly_owl | it needs clicky clicky work work | 05:07 |
| ntrly_owl | ty | 05:07 |
| jargonfactory | haha | 05:07 |
| ntrly_owl | i hope it sits in the panel | 05:07 |
| jargonfactory | ahh i see it does gtk+ as well. | 05:09 |
| jargonfactory | np if you don't any luck here, try ML/forum | 05:09 |
| ntrly_owl | aye | 05:12 |
| sagaci | just wondering if 9pm is too late for NSW, VIC and TAS for the monthly meeting, | 05:27 |
| gggs | I just bought myself a 1.5TB USB2 hdd, I'm trying to decide which fs to use. Reliability is my biggest concern, speed isn't a factor. I'm thinking either XFS or ext4 | 05:46 |
| gggs | or maybe even 2x 750GB partitions, one with a periodic snapshot of the other? sounds like a waste though | 05:47 |
| sagaci | depends how you do your backups | 05:47 |
| gggs | sagaci: backups consist of two encrypted Truecrypt volumes + music, it's mainly for archives (eg priority 2 files like avi's, iso's) | 05:49 |
| gggs | xfs vs jfs vs ext4? | 05:59 |
| jargonfactory | gggs: fwiw, i think xfs is better for reliability though i just read up on zfs and i think i'd certainly not mind top notch reliability :) | 06:33 |
| jargonfactory | (and i think zfs is *the* best you can get) | 06:34 |
| gggs | looks interesting, built by Sun, but I'm reading it has licensing issues with the GPL, and not too well supported | 06:35 |
| jargonfactory | yep exactly cddl it seems unfortunately isn't compatible with gpl | 06:36 |
| gggs | What I'm going to do is make 2x700GB partitions, one xfs, the other ext3, and copy one to the other every month as a sortof `self-backup' | 06:36 |
| jargonfactory | cool. one thing is do pull them out occasionally too ;) | 06:37 |
| jargonfactory | (and use them) | 06:38 |
| gggs | when I approach 700GB eventually, I'll delete the 2nd partition and expand the first | 06:38 |
| gggs | pull them out? | 06:38 |
| jargonfactory | yeah. test the validity of the backus | 06:38 |
| gggs | for sure, I've had issues with backup DVDs in the past | 06:40 |
| gggs | hah, 13 seconds to create a 683GB XFS partition, almost 8 minutes to create an ext3 partition of the same | 06:50 |
| head_victim | sagaci: was just thinking of poking you tonight about the reminder ;) Nice work | 08:14 |
| ikt | heh | 16:57 |
| ikt | has anyone seen this: | 16:57 |
| ikt | http://thisisthecountdown.com/ | 16:57 |
| ikt | that is awesome | 16:57 |
| head_victim | ikt: yeah, pity the release team didn't even know it existed until they came across it by chance. | 20:42 |
