nhainesHmm, having a lot of trouble booting Ubuntu 4.10.  Failsafe mode seems to be getting farther.17:09
nhainesNow I remember that Ubuntu CDs used to ship with cool stuff for Windows like OpenOffice.org, Firefox and Thunderbird, GIMP, Audacity, Abiword, and so on.17:14

nhainesbkerensa: it's 91 down here in Irvine!20:37
bkerensa=/20:46
nhainesNow to get the Ubuntu 10.10 default background and I'm done!20:48
nhainesWhile I like the current series of wallpapers fine, I have to say we've had some really nice backgrounds and themes.20:49
nhainesjaunty's tan oranges and chocolate browns were striking.20:49
bkerensaI wanna figure out how to make the unity bar smaller20:49
bkerensait takes up too much of my desktop compared to Natty Classic20:49
bkerensa:D20:49
nhainesbkerensa: there's no element called the "unity bar".  :)  The top panel is the Unity Panel and the left launcher is called the Unity Launcher.20:50
nhainesYou can install ccsm and that lets you adjust the launcher.  The panel is always 24px except for accessible themes, I think.20:51
bkerensanhaines: I have another name for the Unity Launcher... Same name they called the Twitter Bar that they got rid of20:51
bkerensa:P20:51
nhainesbkerensa: there's always GNOME Shell if you hate productivity.  :P20:52
nhainesYou can install gnome-panel to get the GNOME3 fallback interface, too.  I can't stand using it because of the wasted space used by the panel though!20:53
bkerensanhaines: Yeah I know gnome-fallback20:56
bkerensaI alpha tested Oneiric for months20:56
bkerensa:P20:56
nhainesbkerensa: it's out now.  :P20:57
bkerensayeah I'm going to wait three days to do a clean migration20:57
bkerensawait for final bugs to be found ;)20:57
nhainesbkerensa: I'm going to do one as soon as I can back up my laptop.  :)20:57
kdubhey, Darkwing, i'm applying for membership in a week, would you fill out a testimonial for me? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KevinDuBois20:57
nhainesSo far it's been so good.20:57
Darkwingkdub: Aye21:01

MarkDudebkerensa, apt-get install kde desktop I think would help with the Unity bar21:03
MarkDude:D21:03

MarkDudeapt get KILL Unity I think comes next21:03

akgranerpop in to ubuntu-website21:47
nhainesakgraner: perfect!  Thanks!  :D21:47

akgranergroup=channel21:47
nhainesakgraner: we'll see.  :)21:49
akgranerk21:49

nhainesOoh!  The Ubuntu 11.10 installer has a very nice aubergine backdrop with a dark rust-colored paw print.21:50
MarkDudeThe Halls can be busy. Family as well as other stuff21:58
MarkDudeLike Qimo4kids ;)21:58
nhainesHmm, backed up all my stuff on my desktop computer, then promptly forgot to move the backup folder to an external storage drive.  So much for backups!22:36
