| airurando | very cool | 08:37 |
| airurando | I was gobsmacked | 08:37 |
| airurando | is everyone #ubuntu-release-party today? | 08:38 |
| airurando | only 249 in there at present | 08:39 |
| czajkowski | aye slow start | 08:41 |
| slashtom | BenChapman: you coming to the release party? http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ie/1278/detail/ | 09:18 |
| dumb1224 | dont want to ask but any other window manager to temporarily replace unity | 09:27 |
| dumb1224 | i know there are a lot | 09:27 |
| slashtom | gnome? | 09:27 |
| dumb1224 | hmmm is it worth it? | 09:28 |
| czajkowski | why would you want to replace unity | 09:28 |
| czajkowski | next lts it's the standard | 09:28 |
| dumb1224 | oh you mean gnome3? | 09:28 |
| dumb1224 | czajkowski: trying to get used to it but need to do some work as well so... | 09:28 |
| BenChapman | slashtom: yes, I will. sorry kept forgetting to respond to the email! | 09:28 |
| slashtom | we will be booking a table later, so sign up ;) | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | hmm | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | dont see what needs to get used to and I'm not trying to be smart | 09:29 |
| BenChapman | done and done | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | different layout | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | but all your stuff is still there | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | just alt f2 there | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | and type what you want and it finds it | 09:30 |
| slashtom | czajkowski: freedom is about user choice, i should be able to choose whatever windowmanager i want to use and not be inflicted with whatever canonical decide | 09:30 |
| slashtom | overwise you may as just well be Apple | 09:30 |
| BenChapman | slashtom: I may have 1 guest with me | 09:30 |
| slashtom | grand | 09:30 |
| ebel | slashtom: you can still change it | 09:31 |
| slashtom | aye ebel | 09:31 |
| dumb1224 | czajkowski: for some reason it's not working very well.... | 09:31 |
| ebel | slashtom: however you /have/ to have a default. otherwise you vastly increase the complexity when installing. | 09:32 |
| czajkowski | ebel: +1 | 09:33 |
| dumb1224 | czajkowski: there are some quirky behaviour,,,could be tat I upgraded two releases in a row | 09:33 |
| czajkowski | dumb1224: what's not working well | 09:33 |
| czajkowski | I've been running alpahas and betas on the same machine since karmic | 09:33 |
| ebel | slashtom: by your logic ubuntu has always been like apple since it has /always/ had a default window manager/desktop environment that canonical choose. | 09:33 |
| dumb1224 | e.g when I minimise a window i couldn't click on the launcher, some app works fine but some dont | 09:34 |
| ebel | (Now complaints about the technical merits of unity are a different matter :P ) | 09:34 |
| slashtom | ebel: i was refering to the attitude of "there's something wrong with you if you want to change the default" | 09:34 |
| dumb1224 | I'm happy canonical stepped forward for a more user-friendly UI | 09:35 |
| dumb1224 | But I also like to have a default minimal WM installed, in contrast to a fancy one | 09:35 |
| slashtom | there are lots of minimal WM available | 09:36 |
| dumb1224 | I've tried blackbox, it's very nice but a bit of conf to do,,,I'm still very green on configuring a wm | 09:36 |
| ebel | slashtom: ah, i see why what czajkowski said might be interpreted that way. | 09:36 |
| ebel | sounds like a simple miscommunication though. | 09:37 |
| slashtom | however i quite like enlightenment :P | 09:37 |
| ebel | "why would you want to" can sound a bit opressive, but "it shouldn't be much of a change, so don't worry about it" less so. | 09:38 |
| dumb1224 | what does the panel on top do? | 09:38 |
| * ebel goes back to his coffee | 09:38 | |
| slashtom | :P | 09:38 |
| dumb1224 | it looks like mac os' title bar? | 09:39 |
