zerefunity sooon :fear:16:48
* nlsthzn <3 his Unity...16:49
Kiloslol the guys have it all worked out16:49
Kilosbut doesnt like old graphics cards16:49
zerefo0o016:49
zerefi sure by 12.04, they would have ironed out the bugs16:50
zeref*i'm16:50
Kilosmethinks most are sorted alread16:50
Kiloshey nlsthzn 16:50
nlsthznWith Unity 2D old cards won't be a problem16:51
Kilosit told me to use gnome classic16:51
nlsthznIn 11.04 Unity 2D has to be installed seperatly... in 11.10 onwards the "classic" mode is not there anymore and Unity 2D becomes the default fallback16:53
Kilosoh i must try that then16:53
nlsthzn:)16:55
Kilosso i can use the unity interface in maverick then as well16:55
nlsthzn... no ... Unity 2D comes with Natty and above16:55
Kilosah ok16:55
nlsthznJust not a default install with natty16:55
nlsthznWhat I would suggest is waiting until 12.04, getting a disc and then upgrading to Unity (if you would like to use it Uncle Kilos)16:56
Kiloswell, if its better and the future way to go then i will do it when data allows16:57
Kilosor i can spend the rest of my life on maverick, its way better than winsucks16:59
nlsthznIf it works and does what you need ... then the only concern is security via the interwebs...17:00
Kilosthe security updates go for 2 years hey?17:01
Kilosso i got a year17:02
nlsthzn10.10 supported up until April 201217:08
highvoltageKilos: ok I'll try to make the next meeting :)17:08
Kilosty highvoltage  stay cool till then17:08
Kiloshehe17:08
superflyzeref: Unity in 11.10 is apparently WAY better than 11.0417:09
nlsthzno/ highvoltage and superfly ...17:10
superflyhi nlsthzn17:11
superflyheya highvoltage, good to see that you're still surviving17:11
Kiloswas your day successful superfly 17:14
superflyKilos: mostly17:15
Kilosyay17:15
Kilosmostly is much better than no17:15
highvoltagesuperfly: :)17:16
zerefhmmmm17:18
zerefsuperfly, when i move to 12.04 still have to decide on gnome3 or unity17:19
zerefunfortunaltly have not tried unity that much17:19
Kiloszeref, you can also go kubuntu17:20
zerefMEH17:20
Kilosthe fly is a kubuntu fan17:20
zerefme rolls with gnome xD17:20
nlsthznzeref: gnome -shell or unity ... you will be using gnome 3 for sure either way...17:20
zerefoh ya, indeed17:21
nlsthzn:)17:21
zereflulz, past 3 weeks have converted 4 of my friends to ubuntu17:21
Kilosgreat well done17:21
zerefthey got sick and tired of the problems in wondows17:22
Kiloslol17:22
zerefwas like, forget going to repair shop, get ubuntu, then get community help17:22
Kilosyip17:22
zerefR0 spent17:22
Kilosnlsthzn, is unity and gnome3 the same thing?17:25
superflyKilos: no17:25
nlsthznUnity is a shell that runs on Gnome17:25
superfly^^ what nlsthzn said17:26
nlsthznThe new look for Gnome is the Gnome-shell ... Unity is a replacement for that part17:26
nlsthznIn 11.10 you will have Unity running ontop of Gnome 3 (in 11.04 it is Unity ontop of Gnome 2.32)17:26
Kilosah ty17:27
* nlsthzn made a nice blod entry explaining it... pity in a id10t moment he deleted his whole blog :'(17:27
Kiloslol17:28
nlsthzn*blog not blod >.<17:29
Kiloswhat was the motivation nlsthzn 17:44
nlsthznKilos: I suspect a combination of working for my 3rd nightshift in a row after already going at it for 4 days prior to that... and the fact that it was 3am in the morning... and I am an idiot...17:45
Kilosha ha ha17:45
nlsthznI started deleteing the more silly personal stuff to leave more things worth reading, got annoyed at not being able to make up my mind about one that should stay or should go and nuked 'em all17:46
Kiloseish17:46
KilosMaaz, patience17:47
MaazKilos: Sorry...17:47
Kilosaw17:47
Kilosits a big job removing bits outa a blog17:48
Kilosbut wiser to safe somewhere first before you get irritated17:48
Kilossave17:48
nlsthznWise words uncle Kilos ... your just a few days late with them :D17:50
Kiloslol17:50
Kilosand its was all online hey nlsthzn  so data recovery tools wont work17:55
nlsthznKilos: yup, is funny... the blog warns you three times that what your about to do can't be reversed... and even then they still send you a an e-mail with a link you must also accept before they do it... So I had ample warning, just not enough presence of mind17:57
Kilosrofl17:57
Kilosstubborn isnt the word17:57
Kilosblogspot only allows you to delete posts not the blog address17:59
nlsthznNot the providers fault... Mine and mine alone (but to be honest not much of value was lost)... Before I attempt that again I will make sure what I have to say is worth hearing :)18:01
zerefhmmmm18:01
zerefwas thinking of starting my own blog on blogspot18:01
Kiloswhatever you put there musta seemed important at the time18:01
superflynlsthzn: I have a technology blog, and I have a personal blog18:02
nlsthznsuperfly: makes more sense I suppose18:02
