| boram | time is slow. i can't wait for ubuntu 12.04 | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| glosoli | boram: get it now | 00:26 |
| glosoli | ;D | 00:26 |
| boram | it's beta !? | 00:26 |
| mkultra_ | so far so good for me | 00:26 |
| mkultra_ | just test it right now, and report tons of bugs lol | 00:26 |
| boram | i don't want bugs to bite me | 00:27 |
| mkultra_ | they are not too bad for me right now | 00:27 |
| mkultra_ | plus your making sure that bugs not in 12.04 | 00:27 |
| Jeruvy | sadly there will always be bugs, but its a very noble effort of course. | 00:28 |
| Dmole | boram: use virtualbox so you can time travel to before the bug bit you | 00:28 |
| mkultra_ | essentially yes they are unavoidable | 00:28 |
| mkultra_ | electric sheeps buggy as hell | 00:28 |
| Dmole | so no one else is having menu bar bugs? | 00:29 |
| mkultra_ | i can never get the rewrite to compile | 00:29 |
| glosoli | Dmole: what kind of menu bar bugs ? | 00:29 |
| mkultra_ | i have cairo-dock bugs | 00:29 |
| mkultra_ | xfce4-menu works good though, as usual | 00:29 |
| boram | xfce seem to be quiet these days | 00:30 |
| boram | lxde is more hot | 00:30 |
| mkultra_ | lxde is fugly | 00:30 |
| mkultra_ | but yes functional | 00:30 |

| psypher246 | hello all, has anyone been having issues with the multi monitor setup randomly loosing it's setup and switching back to low res mirror setup. this happens to me about 3 -5 times a day for no reason. It has been ongoing for about as long as 12.04 has been in development | 09:16 |
| Volkodav | I used janitor to clean up the system and also unneeded configs now I am stuck at grub and it will not boot? | 10:22 |
| Volkodav1 | I used janitor to clean up the system and also unneeded configs now I am stuck at grub and it will not boot? | 11:07 |
| Daekdroom | Volkodav1, do you remember - what - you removed? | 11:10 |
| Daekdroom | Janitor was removed from the default install because it was breaking systems. | 11:10 |
| sagaci | rough cleaner | 11:11 |
| Volkodav1 | Daekdroom: all configs it pointed as unneeded | 11:14 |
| Volkodav1 | I did it from Ubuntu tweak - there is janitor still left there damn it | 11:15 |
| Volkodav1 | all of them | 11:15 |
| Volkodav1 | should I try alternative CD to repair a system ? | 11:15 |
| arand | Well I guess It would be either the grub.cfg or kernels/initramfs.. | 11:15 |
| Volkodav1 | I see grub's entries though | 11:16 |
| arand | So is there an error then? | 11:16 |
| Volkodav1 | no error since entries in grub are not responsive | 11:16 |
| Volkodav1 | just the menu - it boots other systems though | 11:17 |
| arand | [E] ... [ctrl] + [X] on one of the entries? | 11:18 |
| Volkodav1 | arand: have to reboot to try - brb | 11:31 |
| arand | That should at least give an error | 11:31 |
| Volkodav1 | ok thanks will try now and boot another machine for easier diagnostics | 11:32 |
| Volkodav | arand: did not work - grub editor opened on e and then closed back to menu on Ctrl+X | 11:40 |
| arand | Volkodav: Hmm, well, try chrooting into the system and run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" | 11:42 |
| Volkodav | thanks | 11:43 |
| arand | "mount /dev/sdX# /mnt; mount /dev/sdX# /mnt/boot; mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc; mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys; chroot /mnt" should be it I think, with sudo. | 11:45 |
| arand | Omit mounting /boot if you don't have a separate /boot partition | 11:45 |
| Volkodav | i do | 11:55 |
| Volkodav | have /boot | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | having a /boot is differnt then having your /boot/ on its own partition. | 11:59 |
| Volkodav | /boot is on a separate partition | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | then you will most likely want to mount it to the proper location befor chrooting as shown above | 12:02 |

| Volkodav | should xubuntu daily built work for chroot or I need to burn fresh ubuntu beta? mine is alpha 2 | 12:34 |
| Volkodav | arand: I booted from alternate cd and it gave me shell in repair system option so I mounted / and /boot and reconfigure grub failed asking if /dev is mounted I mounted it on /mnt/dev | 12:45 |
| Volkodav | update-burgpc went ok though | 12:46 |
| arand | Volkodav: You need to mount proc and probably sys as well | 12:46 |
| Nosophorus | hi, will Mate DE work on 12.04? | 12:47 |
| Volkodav | it should not really matter if it's xubuntu's disc right ? | 12:48 |
| arand | Volkodav: Since you need to chroot, it likely does | 12:48 |
| arand | Also, if you are using BURG, then all bets are off, it's a fork of grub that I know nothing about | 12:49 |
| Volkodav | it's based on grub and hardly any different under the hood | 12:50 |
| Volkodav | so I'm better off burning a fresh ubuntu beta disc or daily build and chroot from there? or alternate CD ? | 12:51 |
| arand | You can chrott from anywhere, doesn't matter, as long as you're not crossing different arches, and remember to mount all pieces. | 12:52 |
| arand | *chroot | 12:52 |
| Volkodav | then xubuntu cd should work and it did | 12:53 |
| Volkodav | the difference is that I mounted / and /boot as in fstab | 12:55 |
| Volkodav | not on /mnt - does that make a difference if I mount the rest on /mnt ? | 12:55 |
| arand | Ah, yeah, I re-read your above comments, I was thinking you were saying that you didn't need to mount /proc since it was the same, not asking if the xubuntu CD was ok :) | 12:55 |
| arand | Volkodav: You need to mount it all in one place as if the "/" was "/mnt" | 12:56 |
| Volkodav | I got it thanks | 12:56 |
| Volkodav | except /boot which should be the actual separate partition it is on | 12:57 |
| arand | You mount the /boot under /mnt/boot along with the others, in order for grub to see it whilst inside the chroot | 12:58 |
| Volkodav1 | arand: I managed to boot with Super grub2 CD and it turned out to be a borked BURG, so I just purge it and stick with grub | 13:20 |
| Volkodav1 | I really though I killed the system with janitor but it's all good | 13:23 |

| cordoval | has anyone used dotdeb installs for php and mysql and now having problems updating to ubuntu 12? how to proceed? I am getting this error http://pastie.org/3671477 | 14:03 |
| Pici | cordoval: I was under the impression that dotdeb was for debian, not Ubuntu. | 14:05 |
| cordoval | it is however there is a compile I think and a blog post for that, I did it sometime ago, they have support for that | 14:06 |
| cordoval | Pici: the need was that the php for default ubuntu packages was old | 14:06 |
| cordoval | i needed 5.3.7 or something greater | 14:06 |
| cordoval | however the main thing now is I want to go 12 and i can't, I wish someone can point me in the right direction | 14:06 |
| Pici | cordoval: Okay, and 12.04 has 5.3.10. | 14:07 |
| cordoval | yeah that is perfect | 14:07 |
| cordoval | I want to forget all about dotdeb, please take me to 12 I beg you, can you help me? | 14:07 |
| Pici | cordoval: You'd need to remove your conflicting packages. | 14:08 |
| cordoval | how to do that, how to proceed, I think is just the mysql thing | 14:09 |

| Pici | The data in the mysql-client-5.5 package that you got from dotdeb conflicts with the data in mysql-client-core Ubuntu package. You'd need to remove the dotdeb package to continue. You can do that with dpkg --remove | 14:10 |
| cordoval | Pici: which one though https://gist.github.com/19bcc24bc7dc61252211 | 14:12 |
| Pici | cordoval: at least mysql-client-5.5 at this point. | 14:13 |

| n0yd | I'm trying to install 12.04 on a original centrino laptop (pentium-M). Apparently the new kernel requies pae instructions be built into the CPU. So when I boot the CD, the kernel won't load because the CPU doesn't support pae. Requiring PAE seems like a dumb move imho, there are plenty of PC's out there still with chips that don't support PAE instruction set,l let alone need them (4+gb of ram on 32bit). Is there someway I can use an option on loading | 15:51 |
| n0yd | the CD to disable pae, or maybe there is another kernel on the disk for non-pae? It seems it wouldve been better to make pae-enabled an option rather than forcing it on people and alienating a userbase | 15:51 |
| === EyesIsServer is now known as IAMACorrect | ||
| Dulak | n0yd: that's interesting, I thought the installer detected if you needed pae or not and used the correct kernel, that maybe changed for 12.04. | 15:54 |
| n0yd | From what I'm reading (i havent used ubuntu in ages, been using debian) the other version of ubuntu did not have it required, merely an option | 15:54 |

| n0yd | pae should be an option as to not force users that are upgrading with old hardware to NOT use ubuntu. Besides, most people with a need for PAE are going to be going 64bit anyway, which is gaining in popularity constantly. So with normal i386 installs already becoming less popular, why kill it even more? | 15:58 |

| n0yd | jussi, well, thats obviously wrong | 16:26 |
| Dulak | n0yd: Lucid runs great on my old machines, if you don't want to compile your own non-pae kernel | 16:27 |
| jussi | n0yd: I suggest you read the whole tread | 16:27 |
| n0yd | Aparently all Pentium-M's do not support PAE, not just the 400mhz model or whatever hes trying to say | 16:27 |
| jussi | mind, tim knows what he is tslking about | 16:27 |
| rocky | actually that brings up an interesting point... at home i have an old pentium3 i want to use as my mediaserver connected to my tv but i find most recent ubuntu releases are a bit too heavy weight for it... what's a good distro to run say xbmc in barebones mode on ? | 16:27 |
| n0yd | jussi, Im not going to waste my time, I'm just going to find a distro that works. Reading about why some ubuntu developer doesnt want to support non-pae hardware isnt going to magically make my hardware work. | 16:28 |
| jussi | rocky: thats a bit offtopic for here, probably #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux ;) | 16:28 |
| rocky | hehe | 16:28 |
| * rocky wanders off | 16:28 | |
| jussi | n0yd: debian ;) | 16:28 |
| n0yd | He already wrong in what he says. 400mhz pentium-m? wtf | 16:28 |
| n0yd | jussi, as stated above | 16:28 |
| n0yd | Ive used debian for years (since before ubuntu was even around). I guess I will just have to come up with another solution for easing new users into Linux from Windows | 16:29 |
| h00k | jussi: worked here. | 16:32 |
| jussi | h00k: :) | 16:32 |
| h00k | jussi: huh, I wonder what/why. | 16:32 |
| Dulak | Things advance. Change happens, and railing against it is a bit childish. I think they should have waited till the next LTS to drop non-pae, but that's ok, I will run lucid until EOL and then EOL my old hardware. | 16:33 |
| h00k | jussi: worked on both machines. | 16:33 |
| h00k | jussi: thanks. | 16:33 |
| Dulak | It's an excuse to get new super fast cool computers and push down my existing machine(s) | 16:33 |
| Dr_willis | There are disrtos with 'low end hardware' being their focus. - You cant always be tied to the past. | 16:44 |
| n0yd | Wow, great excuse | 16:48 |
| Jorky | HEllo | 16:54 |
| Jorky | I didn't test and use precise yet but I am hoping it will be better than 11.10. What's yours oppinion on that (and precise)? | 16:56 |
| Jorky | is faster, stable etc | 16:56 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Jorky: mine is that stick to 11.10 | 16:57 |
| Jorky | why? | 16:57 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Jorky: so far, its a bit sharp on the edge | 16:58 |
| Jorky | what are the reasons? | 16:58 |
| Jorky | no I mean when final release will come? | 16:58 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | i dunno when final is, read it somepalce | 16:58 |
| Jorky | ok bitch | 16:58 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | O_o | 16:59 |

| Jorky | sorry | 16:59 |
| Dulak | Final is targetted for april 26, iirc | 16:59 |
| philinux | You did Dulak | 17:00 |
| Jorky | no shit, I alredy know that I just wanna know your's firs impresions on precise as testers | 17:01 |
| bazhang | Jorky, dont curse | 17:01 |
| Jorky | so no impressions than | 17:04 |
| Jorky | lamers | 17:04 |
| Jorky | bye I see that ubuntu comunity isn't so nice as it says | 17:04 |
| Jorky | fuck ubuntu we have other distros | 17:05 |
| Jorky | bye | 17:05 |
| Dr_willis | Im not sure the comunity needs people like that joining us.... | 17:16 |
| Dulak | Yeah, I answered his question and he attacked. Complete downer. | 17:17 |
| Dr_willis | You needed better impressions... | 17:18 |

| Pici | shaneo: You probably be better off asking in Florida's loco team channel (#ubuntu-us-fl), they've been rather active in the past, so they probably do have at least one release party setup. | 17:22 |

| shaneo | hey guys does ubuntu by default on amd versions check both 86 and 64 repos or is there something wrong with my sources | 17:25 |
| Dr_willis | cant say ive ever noticed shaneo | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | never really noticed there being 2 differnt repos for the bittness. :) | 17:26 |
| astraljava | shaneo: By default only the arch that you're running. But multi-arch with foreign arch can be a different thing. pastebin, please? | 17:26 |
| MrChrisDruif | shaneo; I never really paid attention seeing I have a 64 install | 17:27 |
| shaneo | ok 1 sec | 17:27 |

| shaneo | been running it a long time but just now noticing it | 17:29 |

| msch_ | hi, i figured out how to disable the super key binding in unity, but is there a way to disable the alt key binding? i want to stop having that "type your command" whenever i hit alt | 18:11 |
| trism | msch_: you can disable it in ccsm in the unity plugin 'Key to show HUD', although I have heard that may break other things, don't know if that is still the case | 18:14 |
| msch_ | trism: does that also work for unity-2d? | 18:14 |
| trism | msch_: no, sorry, see bug 947613 | 18:15 |

| bazhang | fernandocueva, pardon? | 18:19 |

| bazhang | fernandocueva, how does that relate to ubuntu support | 18:20 |
| fernandocueva | sorry sorry I'll ask differently, you know ubuntu comes with open office right | 18:20 |
| bazhang | libreoffice actually | 18:20 |
| fernandocueva | is that how it goes now | 18:21 |
| bazhang | fernandocueva, what does any of this have to do with windows 95 | 18:21 |

| dansul | hello | 19:11 |
| dansul | I'm curious and want to install 12.04 as my main os, is it relatively stable for everyday use ? | 19:12 |
| === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer | ||
| glosoli | dansul: well, as it is beta, it's enough stable for me, but from time to time some minor bugs occur | 19:14 |
| glosoli | :) | 19:14 |
| fernandocueva | eat the damn bug | 19:14 |
| dansul | i'm convinced | 19:14 |
| PatrickC | I'm gonna make the move once I get my laptop back working | 19:15 |
| glosoli | fernandocueva: ? | 19:15 |
| PatrickC | last time I used 12.04 (a month or 2 ago) I had tons of kernel crash errors lol | 19:15 |
| glosoli | dansul: for example, my asus laptop even finally got all the acpi keys working, unlikely in any release before when I had to use scripts :) | 19:16 |
| dansul | PatrickC, did you install it on a notebook or pc ? | 19:16 |
| PatrickC | laptop | 19:16 |
| dansul | I see | 19:16 |
| PatrickC | I know they are still working on one of the major kernel bugs I found as I stop get emails every now and then about it lol | 19:17 |
| dansul | Do you happen to have the link to the bug report? | 19:18 |
| PatrickC | probably in my email | 19:19 |
| PatrickC | does this work for you? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914319$ | 19:19 |

| PatrickC | I had like 4 kernel crashes in 20 min when I was using 12.03 | 19:21 |
| PatrickC | 12.04* | 19:21 |
| PatrickC | so I went back to 11.10 ;) | 19:21 |
| fernandocueva | I'm using 10.04 | 19:21 |
| PatrickC | I have some friends still on 10.04 | 19:22 |
| dansul | can you upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 directly ? | 19:22 |
| PatrickC | maybe via sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 19:22 |
| fernandocueva | wans't it distro-upgrade the command | 19:23 |
| PatrickC | hmm.. might have been | 19:23 |
| PatrickC | that sounds better then upgrade :P | 19:23 |
| dansul | without going to 11.10 ? | 19:23 |
| PatrickC | I think you can.. not sure though | 19:23 |
| PatrickC | right now I'm booted off of a LIve USB or I would try it lol | 19:24 |
| PatrickC | my HDD seems to hate me. so trying to fix it | 19:24 |
| PatrickC | thats better | 19:27 |

| doug_ | It receives broadcasts just fine, just doesn't send any. | 19:44 |
| TheSimkin | doug_: i don't quite follow what you mean by braodcasts fine but doesn't send any | 19:47 |
| TheSimkin | so you have a printer set up, and set it to shared, but other cups instances won't pick it up? | 19:47 |
| TheSimkin | or they see it but when you print it fails? | 19:47 |
| doug_ | I said, it receives broadcasts fine (i,e. broadcasts from other cups servers) but won't send any related to it's own printers. | 19:47 |
| TheSimkin | can you pastebin your cups config file? | 19:48 |
| doug_ | I'm talking about the every-30 sec broadcasts telling other systems what printers are connected. Was working fine until I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 and the broadcasts stopped. | 19:49 |
| doug_ | I made sure the original cupsd.conf file was still intact (i.e., the upgrade didn't replace it), but still no-go. | 19:51 |
| TheSimkin | cups behaviour has changed a bit with the new versions | 19:59 |
| TheSimkin | just pastebin your config file | 19:59 |
| fernandocueva | anybody knows why ubuntu stopped using openoffice? | 20:02 |
| doug_ | TheSimkin: Sorry, on phone | 20:04 |
| mwhudson | so my window manager has died during the upgrade to precise | 20:04 |
| mwhudson | is this a known failure? | 20:04 |
| thedonvaughn | fernandocueva: isn't it using libreoffice? | 20:05 |
| fernandocueva | yes it does now | 20:05 |
| thedonvaughn | fernandocueva: oh you mean why libreoffice instead of openoffice? libreoffice is openoffice basically. it forked from open office when oracle aqcuired it | 20:06 |
| fernandocueva | thedonvaughn, so open office is not open source anymore | 20:08 |
| TheSimkin | fernandocueva: ? | 20:11 |
| TheSimkin | openoffice is still open source | 20:11 |
| fernandocueva | I want to open a doc file made with word xp and when I try the file comes up empty | 20:12 |
| fernandocueva | the file uses an avery layout 6490 | 20:13 |
| TheSimkin | try uploading to google docs | 20:13 |
| TheSimkin | some word files are pretty nasty though | 20:14 |
| TheSimkin | i get some weird ones at times | 20:14 |
| fernandocueva | I won't upload this is a confidential document | 20:15 |
| TheSimkin | you can delete it once you are done. | 20:16 |
| thedonvaughn | fernandocueva: libreoffice can't read it? | 20:16 |
| fernandocueva | I tried openoffice from 10.04 I don't have the new ubuntu installed to test it I'll try the live cd of 11.10 if it cans but I'll beat it needs the avery layout | 20:20 |

| roasted | so I just installed 12.04 from today's daily build and everything looks very gtk2/4.10 era. Any ideas? | 22:21 |

| === showcees is now known as Cees | ||
| mcamaret | i'll try | 22:24 |
| log | You should add that line in Ubuntu Software Center --> Edit --> Software Sources. | 22:25 |
| roasted | man unity in 12.04 is a heckuva lot nicer | 22:25 |
| mcamaret | /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:25 |
| log | mcamaret: You could do that too, yes. | 22:26 |
| log | In that case, add "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zeppelinlg/mirall/ubuntu oneiric main" as well. | 22:26 |
| log | I personally prefer adding sources through Ubuntu Software Center, as it does that second one automatically. | 22:26 |
| mcamaret | true | 22:27 |
| mcamaret | it's actually software-sources-gtk, not usc | 22:28 |

| anthropos | if i format a partition myself will the ubuntu installer insist on reformatting it, or can I have it install without doing so | 22:39 |
| anthropos | (the installer for 12.04 beta) | 22:39 |
| itaylor57 | anthropos, depends on the format | 22:39 |
| roasted | I've installed before w/o formatting, as long as it's what you need | 22:39 |
| anthropos | ext4 | 22:39 |
| roasted | I've used gparted to set up partitions, then boot ubuntu and just use it w/o formating | 22:39 |
| roasted | guys, what are your thoughts on unity in 12.04? | 22:40 |
| roasted | I used to passionately hate unity but I'm digging what I'm seeing | 22:40 |
| roasted | dual monitor setups work without raging me | 22:40 |
| anthropos | I think you can switch desktop environments if you desire | 22:40 |
| roasted | oh I know | 22:40 |
| roasted | believe me, I was all over gnome shell like crazy | 22:40 |
| smw | roasted, I still hate it. I hate it even more now that it has HUD. Now I hate that it has the most awesome feature ever but sucks in every other way ;-) | 22:41 |
| roasted | don't get me wrong, gnome shell is flippin beautiful... but unity seems significantly better than the "wow this sucks" I felt before | 22:41 |
| anthropos | haha | 22:41 |
| roasted | smw: I'm not even sure what hud is. can you elaborate? | 22:41 |
| anthropos | I use gnome shell, too. | 22:41 |
| smw | roasted, click the alt button | 22:41 |
| anthropos | itaylor57: do you know if it'll work with ext4? | 22:41 |
| smw | roasted, and be amazed | 22:41 |
| anthropos | itaylor57: i.e. not insist on reformatting my partitions | 22:41 |
| roasted | click? | 22:41 |
| roasted | you mean on keyboard? | 22:41 |
| smw | anthropos, I am just now switching to gnome shell | 22:41 |
| smw | anthropos, but it is still not ready to replace my 11.04 computer with gnome two | 22:42 |
| roasted | maybe I have to tinker wtih it, but I'm not seeing what it even is... | 22:42 |
| smw | roasted, the HUD is the file/edit/etc menu at the top of the program | 22:43 |
| smw | roasted, but no mouse necessary | 22:43 |
| roasted | oh | 22:43 |
| roasted | wow... | 22:43 |
| roasted | that's uh... pretty dang sexy | 22:43 |
| smw | roasted, and it makes me hate unity much more. | 22:43 |
| roasted | yeah. I dig it. | 22:43 |
| roasted | lol why | 22:43 |
| smw | roasted, I told you. I see this awesome feature and in order to use it I would need to deal with unity | 22:44 |
| theq_ | Guys, could you help me to fix some issue after upgrade to 11.10? People on #ubuntu don't know how to fix it, and I need it to be fixed a lot | 22:44 |
| roasted | what is it you dislike about unity? | 22:44 |
| itaylor57 | anthropos, ext4 will be fine | 22:44 |
| smw | roasted, all the above. I want my old gnome 2 back | 22:44 |
| anthropos | itaylor57: thank you very much | 22:44 |
| roasted | smw: please don't take offense to this, but I do have a sincere question. | 22:44 |
| smw | roasted, my desktop is still on natty. | 22:45 |
| roasted | smw: have you used unity for a length of time with a "sit back and see what it can do" type of mentality? | 22:45 |
| smw | roasted, yes | 22:45 |
| anthropos | i tried that. it didn't take. | 22:45 |
| roasted | smw: because, don't get me wrong, I used to hate gnome shell and unity... I was testing gnome shell before people even knew it was in its birthing stages.... | 22:45 |
| smw | roasted, gnome-shell took much better | 22:45 |
| theq_ | guys... please | 22:45 |
| anthropos | my body ultimately still rejected the desktop transplant | 22:45 |
| roasted | smw: but gnome shell grew on me, and now that unity is looking much nicer it's growing on me too | 22:45 |
| mrdeb | hi | 22:45 |
| mrdeb | who has 1204 from today | 22:45 |
| roasted | I do | 22:46 |
| roasted | installed it a half hour ato | 22:46 |
| roasted | ago | 22:46 |
| boram | http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/canonical-to-stop-funding-kubuntu-2012027/ | 22:46 |
| mrdeb | is it good | 22:46 |
| roasted | theq_: what is your issue? | 22:46 |
| bastidrazor | mrdeb: i have been using the beta since it became a beta. its does well for me | 22:46 |
| roasted | shut up boram | 22:46 |
| boram | is this a fud? | 22:46 |
| roasted | seriously | 22:46 |
| mrdeb | is it better than 1110 | 22:46 |
| theq_ | roasted: after upgrade I've got some services unavailable from localhost, but available from any PC from network | 22:46 |
| mrdeb | can u close things fast and start up | 22:46 |
| roasted | boram: Canonical stopped funding Kubuntu, but Kubuntu will remain active, alive, and well. Lubuntu and Xubuntu have NEVER received funding from Canonical and they're officially supported. It makes zero difference. | 22:46 |
| boram | so it's a truth | 22:46 |
| mrdeb | so kubuntu is over | 22:46 |
| mrdeb | is that it | 22:46 |
| roasted | boram: not to mention, I think Kubuntu only had 1 paid Canonical employee. They simply shifted him from Kubuntu to other activities within the company. | 22:47 |
| roasted | no | 22:47 |
| roasted | NO | 22:47 |
| boram | no for what? | 22:47 |
| mrdeb | huh | 22:47 |
| roasted | Kubuntu is not over. | 22:47 |
| roasted | However, Canonical dropped financial support that was barely existent o begin with. | 22:47 |
| mrdeb | why dont they stop kubuntu and make unity better | 22:47 |
| smw | roasted, you need to understand that what the linux world (not fair to just blame ubuntu) is doing is throwing out old interfaces and years of people figuring out how to be productive (and adding of options so people can choose what makes them more productive) and making people just deal with it. | 22:47 |
| roasted | Besides, I thought I heard Kubuntu just received some major endorsement? | 22:47 |
| smw | roasted, you can see how this might offend people? | 22:47 |
| boram | but somebody said it's a fud | 22:48 |
| roasted | smw: You need to reconsider the "linux world" term there, bro. OSX and Win 8 are going the same direction. | 22:48 |
| boram | now he is a liar | 22:48 |
| roasted | boram: because it's not a big deal. Period. It's not a big deal AT ALL but you keep speaking as if it is. | 22:48 |
| roasted | It makes no difference. None. | 22:48 |
| smw | roasted, I am most efficient on gnome 2. There are damn obvious features still missing from gnome shell where I wonder what the hell was going through their minds. | 22:48 |
| theq_ | guys... please help | 22:48 |
| theq_ | I'm done in this, need help | 22:48 |
| roasted | smw: there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with the new interfaces. I definitely find myself quite snappy on the old menus. | 22:48 |
| theq_ | sitting here from hours | 22:48 |
| smw | roasted, I can't see when I get highlighted on xchat in gnome shell. That is probably right now my biggest gripe | 22:49 |
| TheSimkin | they should drop unity and go headlong into kde really | 22:49 |
| roasted | smw: I'm just saying, I gave it a very solid shot, and I am easily more productive on Gnome Shell. | 22:49 |
| TheSimkin | kde is fantastic | 22:49 |
| roasted | smw: I agree there... | 22:49 |
| smw | roasted, I don't use old menus, I have gnome do ;-) | 22:49 |
| roasted | theq_: what is your issue exactly? | 22:49 |
| mrdeb | why | 22:49 |
| anthropos | theq_: i don't see where you mentioned a problem | 22:49 |
| roasted | smw: my gosh gnome do is beautiful :D | 22:49 |
| smw | roasted, absolutely. And it is configurable! | 22:49 |
| smw | roasted, I found that I was best when I removed all the plugins and had it just do apps, commands, and calculator | 22:49 |
| roasted | smw: I've stopped using gnome do since both unity and shell have gnome do-like features built in.... | 22:49 |
| smw | roasted, same | 22:50 |
| roasted | we use it on oru fleet of systems at work | 22:50 |
| smw | roasted, I am retraining my reflexes so I click ctrl before pressing enter | 22:50 |
| theq_ | roasted anthropos some services can't connect using localhost or 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.2 address, I have fixed issues in mysql and apache by setting IP in config, but it doesn't work in postfix, courier, ejabberd, bind - I just can't connect to these from that pc which we are talking about, from any pc from network which see this PC I can connect | 22:50 |
| roasted | we have a heavily customized xfce desktop and everyone loves gnome do on it | 22:50 |
| smw | roasted, stuff that I would rather just configure | 22:50 |
| roasted | theq_: have you asked in ubuntu-server? Some of those things you said make my head spin. | 22:50 |
| smw | roasted, but they have not seen fit to add those types of customizations yet | 22:51 |
| mrdeb | wow | 22:51 |
| roasted | smw: I hear ya. | 22:51 |
| smw | roasted, a new interface like this should have been given years to develop and let people switch over at their own pace. | 22:51 |
| roasted | smw: I agree, there are certain things tha bug me about the new interfaces. But I've grown to really like the idea and work flow behind them. It ook me a while, but I'm there... | 22:51 |
| theq_ | I would try, however I've got serious headache here... | 22:51 |
| smw | roasted, next thing I want. the gnome shell cover flow extension to only work on the workspace you are on. | 22:52 |
| anthropos | theq_, do the connections just time out | 22:52 |
| theq_ | anthropos: yup | 22:52 |
| anthropos | which services don't work and which do | 22:52 |
| smw | roasted, these are all things that with time I am sure will be fixed in one way or another. But they pissed off a lot of people in the process. | 22:52 |
| roasted | smw: sometimes I get heated by it, but then I think about how much better off we are than windows and OSX. | 22:52 |
| theq_ | anthropos: at the moment apache, mysql are working great, but postfix, courier, ejabberd, bind not | 22:52 |
| roasted | smw: now THERES some companies who sincerely don't give a damn. | 22:52 |
| anthropos | theq_ is port 25 open | 22:53 |
| smw | roasted, I don't feel better off :-P | 22:53 |
| theq_ | anthropos: yes, I can use the services from internet, but not from localhost | 22:53 |
| roasted | smw: I work in a mixed environment, so I deal with all 3 platforms rather extensively. | 22:53 |
| smw | roasted, I feel like they are stealing interface designs from apple. Especially the parts of apple I hate ;-) | 22:53 |
| anthropos | are there any errors in your logs that look relevant, especially regarding name resolution | 22:53 |
| roasted | smw: Linux, despite what ever desktop environment I'm on, is my happy place vs what I'm seeing in the other areans :P | 22:53 |
| roasted | smw: absolutely disagree there. | 22:53 |
| mrdeb | yes roaster | 22:53 |
| roasted | smw: we have more Apple than anything else at work right now. I just don't see the connection. | 22:54 |
| smw | roasted, when I click the icon for an application, I want to launch a new one. I do not want to be brought to a current one! | 22:54 |
| anthropos | and does /etc/hosts look correct to you. e.g. does it contain a line like: 127.0.0.1 localhost | 22:54 |
| mrdeb | linux is good and solid like a box | 22:54 |
| mrdeb | so u can put things in it | 22:54 |
| smw | roasted, I can name many ways they are similar. Gnome shell and apple | 22:54 |
| roasted | mrdeb: lol? | 22:54 |
| roasted | smw: and all through it I'd have to disagree. I have a macbook pro right next to me. I just don't see anything tha screams Apple Apple Apple. | 22:54 |
| mrdeb | yes | 22:54 |
| theq_ | anthropos: yes | 22:54 |
| theq_ | Login failed for theqkash@theqkash.pl from MY_IP. Could not connect to SERVER_IP:143: Connection timed out | 22:55 |
| TheSimkin | my biggets beef with OSX gui is the lack of a proper maximize button | 22:55 |
| smw | roasted, you have gnome-shell? | 22:55 |
| roasted | TheSimkin: I agree. | 22:55 |
| mrdeb | macbook is good | 22:55 |
| roasted | smw: yes | 22:55 |
| TheSimkin | it's really silly. | 22:55 |
| theq_ | anthropos: Login failed for theqkash@theqkash.pl from 88.199.98.120. Could not connect to 192.166.218.69:143: Connection timed out | 22:55 |
| roasted | TheSimkin: that enrages me. | 22:55 |
| theq_ | for example | 22:55 |
| anthropos | theq_: are the there any corresponding entries in the logs in /var/log | 22:55 |
| anthropos | the syslog for example | 22:55 |
| smw | roasted, do you see how when you start an app on the side bar (that looks very much like the bottom bar of the mac), it lights up underneath? | 22:55 |
| TheSimkin | finder is pretty annoying too | 22:55 |
| theq_ | anthropos: nope | 22:55 |
| roasted | smw: my mac dock doesn't light up underneath. | 22:56 |
| smw | roasted, now click on that icon again. Do you notice how it brings you to the already open window? | 22:56 |
| anthropos | theq_: can you ping localhost | 22:56 |
| theq_ | anthropos: nope | 22:56 |
| anthropos | can you ping 127.0.0.1 | 22:56 |
| roasted | smw: my mac dock has a dot underneath each item that it's on. nothing is lit up or highlights. | 22:56 |
| smw | roasted, old ones did. Does it now have that arrow icon to mean it is running? | 22:56 |
| roasted | smw: how old? | 22:56 |
| roasted | smw: we have some systems as old as 10.3 at work | 22:56 |
| roasted | and as recent as 10.7 | 22:56 |
| roasted | all the same | 22:56 |
| theq_ | anthropos: nope | 22:56 |
| anthropos | does ifconfig lo | 22:56 |
| roasted | only difference is, older ones are a tiny black triangle, where newer ones are a white dot. | 22:56 |
| theq_ | 127.0.0.2 too | 22:56 |
| theq_ | and the server IP to | 22:57 |
| anthropos | does that look as you expect it to | 22:57 |
| theq_ | anthropos: http://pastebin.com/NHVyaRpU | 22:57 |
| smw | roasted, same thing. The point is that they took the apple "an app is on or it is not" | 22:57 |
| roasted | smw: how else would you isolate active vs non active apps? | 22:57 |
| theq_ | anthropos: and whole: http://pastebin.com/yM9WcDmc | 22:57 |
| smw | roasted, when you click the button it brings you to the currently open instance, not a new one | 22:57 |
| mrdeb | why do they put apps now into mac | 22:58 |
| mrdeb | this is bad | 22:58 |
| anthropos | i think that might look wrong. perhaps it's not being assigned the ip 127.0.0.1 | 22:58 |
| smw | roasted, a taskbar? | 22:58 |
| roasted | smw: yeah, because the unity bar/gnome shell bar replaces the functionality of the task bar. | 22:58 |
| theq_ | anthropos: it comes like it by default | 22:58 |
| theq_ | should I change it | 22:58 |
| theq_ | ? | 22:58 |
| roasted | smw: I'm not seeing how else you'd expect it to operate? | 22:58 |
| mrdeb | so unity is like mac now | 22:58 |
| === haz3lnut_zzz is now known as haz3lnut | ||
| smw | roasted, stealing the interface from mac in the process | 22:58 |
| anthropos | my loopback shows 127.0.0.1 assigned to it | 22:58 |
| roasted | smw: lol? | 22:58 |
| roasted | smw: I just had a legit "laugh out loud" | 22:58 |
| anthropos | your loopback seems to have no ipv4 or ipv6 addr assigned to it | 22:58 |
| roasted | smw: we're going to have to agree to disagree, because I'm not going to argue nonsense. (no offense) | 22:58 |
| theq_ | lol and here is the issue :| | 22:59 |
| smw | roasted, when I tell it to open a program, I want a new window ;-) | 22:59 |
| anthropos | what is the content of /etc/network/interfaces pertaining to lo | 22:59 |
| theq_ | I have set it by hand at it works like a charm | 22:59 |
| theq_ | now tell me please where to set it to be permanent | 22:59 |
| anthropos | it should have configured properly based on the content of /etc/network/interfaces | 22:59 |
| mrdeb | what | 22:59 |
| theq_ | anthropos: these is auto generated | 22:59 |
| anthropos | so it just says auto lo, yes? | 23:00 |
| theq_ | no matter what I wrote there it will clean after reboot | 23:00 |
| theq_ | yup | 23:00 |
| smw | roasted, they stole the horrible idea that selecting an app means you either want to run it or see the current instance of it. | 23:00 |
| smw | roasted, for web browsers, terminals, office docs, etc that is not the case | 23:00 |
| roasted | smw: this argument is as bad/worse as apple's "swipe to unlock touch screen" argument. | 23:00 |
| roasted | I mean, SERIOUSLY, some things you just can't avoid, yet people default to "they stole it!" | 23:00 |
| anthropos | are you saying your changes in /etc/network/interfaces are not persistent? | 23:00 |
| mrdeb | yes | 23:00 |
| roasted | How else was Chevy supposed to make a car steer? Use a square steering wheel? Use left/right foot pedals? | 23:00 |
| theq_ | anthropos: yes | 23:00 |
| smw | roasted, what do you mean can't avoid? I want my taskbar back! | 23:01 |
| roasted | I mean, after all, Ford had the first idea, right? | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | no | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | bmw made first car | 23:01 |
| theq_ | # WARNING: Do not edit this file, your changes will be lost. # Please create/edit /etc/network/interfaces.head and # /etc/network/interfaces.tail instead, their contents will be # inserted at the beginning and at the end of this file, respectively. | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | while blue | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | white | 23:01 |
| roasted | mrdeb: which makes zero difference. | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | then ford stole from bmw | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | bec they also made better plane | 23:01 |
| anthropos | my file is different on this computer, but it is a different distribution. | 23:01 |
| roasted | mrdeb: who was *insert second car company here* supposed to do about the steering wheel? | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | yes roaster | 23:01 |
| anthropos | do you have the files it references? | 23:01 |
| roasted | makes ZERO difference. | 23:01 |
| Dulak | THe first car had a stick that worked like a tiller on a boat iirc, not a steering wheel | 23:01 |
| smw | roasted, wtf? | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | no | 23:01 |
| TheSimkin | software patents are completely stupid. | 23:01 |
| mrdeb | it means they stole ideas | 23:02 |
| theq_ | anthropos: no | 23:02 |
| smw | roasted, they removed the old system and adapted the method apple uses | 23:02 |
| mrdeb | so if bmw had patent, they would make all cars and ford would pay | 23:02 |
| anthropos | presumably you could create them and insist that 127.0.0.1 be assigned to lo, but you really shouldn't have to | 23:02 |
| mrdeb | do u understand what i mean | 23:02 |
| smw | roasted, apple did it first and they get the credit for this type of interface. | 23:02 |
| smw | roasted, everyone else did it differently | 23:02 |
| smw | roasted, no one else made a car before ford ;-) | 23:02 |
| theq_ | anthropos: what should I wrote there? | 23:03 |
| roasted | smw: You're looking at such a little thing in regard to an entirely new way to people interact with interfaces and banking it ENTIRELY on it being an Apple clone. | 23:03 |
| roasted | smw: citing how active/inactive app icons are used and associating them as a complete clone. | 23:03 |
| roasted | Unity is entirely different from OSX. | 23:03 |
| roasted | Gnome Shell is entirely different from OSX. | 23:03 |
| roasted | Any idiot can see that. I'm sorry, but if you fire it up and just look at what's going on, they're both very distinct to one another. | 23:03 |
| anthropos | something like address 127.0.0.1 \n netmask 255.0.0.0 for the lo interface, but its a little disconcerting that this is necessary | 23:03 |
| anthropos | \n is a newline of course | 23:03 |
| smw | roasted, it is not all an apple clone, I was saying the stole the parts I did not like ;-) | 23:03 |
| TheSimkin | anthropos: what | 23:04 |
| roasted | And with that, we'll conclude that convo. :D | 23:04 |
| smw | roasted, sounds good :-) | 23:04 |
| roasted | smw: good talk my friend. | 23:04 |
| anthropos | TheSimkin: this is directed at theq_, whose lo interface is apparently not being assigned 127.0.0.1 | 23:04 |
| roasted | now to get more acquianted with this hud thing.. | 23:04 |
| mrdeb | what hud | 23:04 |
| mrdeb | do u need help | 23:05 |
| mrdeb | ? | 23:05 |
| roasted | uh, no. thanks. :) | 23:05 |
| mrdeb | ok good luck | 23:05 |
| roasted | smw: does hud by chance remember items you've selected before? | 23:05 |
| smw | roasted, no idea | 23:05 |
| roasted | smw: like, I never use print preview, I just print. I wonder if it'll populate as option 1 instead of option 2 the more I use it | 23:05 |
| anthropos | theq_: do you have an interfaces.d directory | 23:06 |
| theq_ | anthropos: where? | 23:06 |
| anthropos | presumably in /etc/network | 23:06 |
| smw | roasted, I will not be happy until hud is ported to a better desktop ;-) | 23:06 |
| anthropos | it is mentioned in 'man interfaces', but I don't have that folder on this computer | 23:06 |
| theq_ | anthropos: none | 23:07 |
| smw | roasted, hopefully I will not start another debate, but I think gnome shell would have been less polarizing if it had been available with the old gnome 2. | 23:08 |
| smw | ah he quit | 23:09 |
| anthropos | does your /etc/network/interfaces file also say iface lo inet loopback | 23:09 |
| theq_ | anthropos: yes | 23:09 |
| anthropos | i don't know why it isn't working, i'm tempted to suggest something is messing up the address assignment after the fact | 23:09 |
| TheSimkin | was someone actually argueing that apple's patent suits are reasonable? | 23:09 |
| mrdeb | yes anthropos you do it in etc hosts i think | 23:10 |
| anthropos | you could try rebooting or removing the address assignment, then doing ifdown lo; ifup lo | 23:10 |
| smw | TheSimkin, what patent suits? | 23:10 |
| anthropos | mrdeb: he says /etc/hosts if correct | 23:10 |
| mrdeb | yes | 23:10 |
| theq_ | -> http://pastebin.com/qhWcJu6S | 23:10 |
| anthropos | i.e. he says it contains 127.0.0.1 localhost, as one would expect | 23:11 |
| theq_ | it is hosts | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | i mean if you famly control or something | 23:11 |
| TheSimkin | smw: not sure.. i came in mid conversation, just saw someone saying osx was first and apple owns some idea or something. | 23:11 |
| anthropos | theq_ you appear to be missing the 127.0.0.1 localhost line | 23:11 |
| anthropos | nm, its there | 23:11 |
| theq_ | anthropos: I have it near other names | 23:11 |
| anthropos | sorry. | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | wow | 23:11 |
| smw | TheSimkin, that may have been me. But I was talking about the fact that gnome-shell copied quite a few things from mac. | 23:11 |
| mrdeb | yes | 23:12 |
| anthropos | theq_ try removing the address assignment, then bringing down lo and bringing it back up with ifup and ifdown | 23:12 |
| smw | TheSimkin, not that apple "owns" it, but that the ideas came from there | 23:12 |
| anthropos | see if it's still broken | 23:12 |
| Pretto | I am having "No file name for libssl1.0.0" when trying to install any package, does anyone knows how to fix it? | 23:13 |
| TheSimkin | smw: what an absurd way to think. | 23:14 |
| TheSimkin | smw: ideas are always based on previous ideas. | 23:14 |
| smw | TheSimkin, how is it absurd to describe features as being copied from mac? | 23:14 |
| TheSimkin | because two people can have the same idea | 23:15 |
| smw | TheSimkin, of course. But I was saying they took all the things I hated about the mac interface. | 23:15 |
| anthropos | i don't think smw is suggesting it ought to be illegal | 23:15 |
| smw | TheSimkin, I am not suggesting it is illegal, but it is a legitimate way to describe it. | 23:15 |
| TheSimkin | oh good | 23:15 |
| smw | they all steal ideas from each other. | 23:16 |
| smw | but I was specifically complaining about the mac influence because I don't like the mac interface | 23:16 |
| anthropos | Pretto: you could install apt-file and try to see what package libssl belongs to, or try to use google to this end (if you haven't already) | 23:16 |
| theq_ | Okay, I got thing fixed, thank you guys :) | 23:17 |
| anthropos | wait, you get this error for _any_ package? | 23:17 |
| anthropos | theq_ what fixed it | 23:17 |
| theq_ | mostly anthropos | 23:17 |
| TheSimkin | smw: well, at least they didn't go with the idea that nobody should be able to change their interface that osx employs :) | 23:17 |
| TheSimkin | smw: do you use kde at all? it's a dreamy desktop ui. | 23:17 |
| TheSimkin | i won't settle for anything less than kde these days. | 23:17 |
| theq_ | anthropos: I currently leave it as is, I have no time to fix at the moment, because it is rebooted once per year ;-) | 23:17 |
| Pretto | anthropos: I think I fixed it. Thank you anyway | 23:17 |
| theq_ | however it have fixed | 23:17 |
| theq_ | thanks | 23:17 |
| anthropos | Pretto: sure | 23:17 |
| theq_ | have a good night | 23:17 |
| anthropos | theq_ np, take care | 23:17 |
| smw | TheSimkin, more like "no one is allowed to change to the interface that osx employs and have me use it" | 23:18 |
| TheSimkin | i hate how apple 'rents' you their products. | 23:18 |
| Roasted | smw, I'd like to add something that RAGES me about gnome shell. | 23:18 |
| TheSimkin | they never really belong to you. | 23:18 |
| Roasted | smw, the printing setup menu. | 23:18 |
| smw | Roasted, sure | 23:18 |
| Roasted | It's so terrible. | 23:18 |
| smw | haven't seen that yet | 23:18 |
| smw | not been using it too long | 23:18 |
| Roasted | I have a Konica Minolta printer, but Konica Minolta drivers don't work. I need to use a "Minolta" driver. | 23:18 |
| Roasted | I cannot select the flipping driver I want. | 23:19 |
| Roasted | I'm stuck using CUPS @ web interface for any shot of it working normally in gnome shell. | 23:19 |
| Roasted | Unity on the other hand uses the regular printer tool (same as in gnome 2 etc) | 23:19 |
| anthropos | similarly, fglrx works poorly with gnome-shell. but i think it's an ati problem | 23:19 |
| Roasted | yeah, it is an ATI problem. | 23:19 |
| Roasted | Unity just doesn't utilize the problematic areas of the fglrx driver. | 23:19 |
| Roasted | Whcih is why Unity is preceived to work better with ATI/AMD when really the driver sucks either way. | 23:19 |
| anthropos | aside from vsync do you know what other capabilities are particularly problematic | 23:20 |
| Roasted | TheSimkin, I hate that too... | 23:20 |
| smw | TheSimkin, right now, gnome-shell needs 3 things. 1. me to be retrained (yeah not their problem. But allowing configuration would be nice) 2. better separation of workspaces. 3. better notification (so I know when I am pinged in xchat) | 23:20 |
| Roasted | TheSimkin, my boss used to be a huge, huge Apple fan. He pretty much despises everything about them now. He has so many jaw-dropping stories tha have happened | 23:20 |
| TheSimkin | smw: it has one problem imho, it's not kde :) | 23:21 |
| smw | TheSimkin, you are not going to like this: http://blogs.kde.org/node/4531 | 23:21 |
| Roasted | TheSimkin, have you ever ran kde on ubuntu? I find it to be quite horrific. I left some free space to run Kubuntu on its own independent partition... | 23:21 |
| TheSimkin | Roasted: i use kde on ubuntu | 23:22 |
| smw | TheSimkin, I used to be a kde person. kde4 drove me away | 23:22 |
| TheSimkin | smw: it almost drove me away | 23:22 |
| Roasted | TheSimkin, KDE and Gnome on the same OS is really weird. Fonts look strange, etc. | 23:22 |
| smw | TheSimkin, I have tried to go back since, but there are too many things going on | 23:22 |
| Roasted | 4.8 is pretty sweet. I can't lie... | 23:22 |
| smw | TheSimkin, it actually drove me to lxde on arch for a while. When I got tired of it and wanted a real desktop, gnome won because kde had too many fades, moving status icons, etc | 23:23 |
| smw | TheSimkin, (and I was used to lxde's no nonsense) | 23:23 |
| smw | I went from gnome to xfce for 11.10 because I lost gnome2. | 23:24 |
| TheSimkin | i just went back to 3.5.10 for a while | 23:24 |
| smw | but I kept my desktop on gnome2/11.04 | 23:24 |
| TheSimkin | i really think the distrobution managers are the real problem with kde 4.x | 23:24 |
| smw | TheSimkin, did you see http://blogs.kde.org/node/4531 ? | 23:24 |
| TheSimkin | kde 4.x wasn't ready for mass consumption.. the kde deves knew it | 23:24 |
| TheSimkin | but the packagemanagers forced everyone to upgrade anyhow | 23:24 |
| TheSimkin | if they wanted till 4.5 or so it would have been just fine... | 23:24 |
| smw | TheSimkin, we are back to the idea that 1. iterative improvement is better and 2. if you want to redo everything, you need a gradual transition | 23:25 |
| smw | people need to CHOOSE to switch | 23:25 |
| k-rAd | is realtek ALC892 supported under beta ? | 23:25 |
| TheSimkin | well in the end kde 4.5 as more like 3.5.10 than 4.0 was.... | 23:25 |
| TheSimkin | when they pushed 4.x it wasn't even ready for anything | 23:26 |
| Roasted | hahahaha | 23:26 |
| Roasted | 4.0 was a really, really bad joke | 23:26 |
| smw | TheSimkin, people need to also be able to use both at the same time and gradually transition. Then you won't see backlash. | 23:26 |
| smw | Roasted, actually, I did not find 4.0 that bad... | 23:26 |
| smw | I left around 4.2 | 23:26 |
| Roasted | smw, people will still complain. | 23:26 |
| Roasted | smw, whenever we switch software at work, we've given 2 years notice for the simplest of programs. Still complain. | 23:27 |
| smw | lol | 23:27 |
| smw | Roasted, fair enough. I still hate the new interface at google ;-) | 23:27 |
| smw | Roasted, they stole the space for the words in gmail! | 23:27 |
| Roasted | We told everybody we don't see Apple being in the future of our district. This was a year ago. People crapped their pants. Yet the switch for the teacher systems isn't until summer 2013. | 23:27 |
| Roasted | Not to mention, we already have Linux laptops for ALL students, so teachers know the flipping interface and have already for a year. | 23:28 |
| smw | Roasted, the idea is that people need to choose to switch. If they don't choose it, you did not do a good enough job ;-) | 23:28 |
| Roasted | smw, sometimes it enrages me to the point I sincerely just want to throw their mac out the window and say, too bad. You'll deal with it, and you'll like it. | 23:29 |
| smw | lol | 23:29 |
| Roasted | smw, that's not always the case. I have given countless, countless +1's with moving to LInux. | 23:29 |
| Roasted | But because Linux isn't an Apple product, people crap their pants. | 23:29 |
| Roasted | Literally, we've seen jaws DROP at the idea of Apple disappearing. I kid you not. | 23:29 |
| Roasted | "But, there just has to be a way to waste more tax payer dollars so we can utilize this overpriced gear!" | 23:30 |
| smw | Roasted, I am like that with my taskbar | 23:30 |
| smw | Roasted, but I believe that they did not need to get rid of it. | 23:30 |
| smw | lol | 23:30 |
| Roasted | oh wow | 23:30 |
| Roasted | smw, do you know what just happened. | 23:30 |
| Roasted | when you pinged me, I saw xchats icon move. | 23:30 |
| smw | ? | 23:30 |
| Roasted | I've been in gnome shell for months. I haven't seen that action in forever. | 23:30 |
| Roasted | I'm almost giddy to have that functionality back. | 23:30 |
| smw | it worked? | 23:30 |
| smw | ?! | 23:31 |
| Roasted | Yeah, but I'm un Unity. | 23:31 |
| Roasted | In | 23:31 |
| smw | Roasted, ah, that makes sense | 23:31 |
| Roasted | I'm starting to warm up to Unity in 12.04 so I'm trying to give it a fair chance. | 23:31 |
| Roasted | I'm also in Gnome's IRC asking what's up with those kind of noficiations. | 23:31 |
| Roasted | and the terrible, terrible printer gui | 23:31 |
| Roasted | I like how Unity is intelligent enough to know which monitor to open the dash with where the mouse is | 23:32 |
| Roasted | I like that quite a lot... | 23:32 |
| Roasted | Where in 12.04 can you adjust certain unity features? | 23:43 |
| Roasted | wasn't it removed from compiz in 12.04? | 23:43 |
| anthropos | are you talking about ccsm ? | 23:43 |
| Roasted | yar | 23:45 |
| Roasted | wasn't unity's ccsm dependency removed in 12? | 23:45 |
| itaylor57 | no unity still uses ccsm | 23:45 |
| Roasted | well | 23:47 |
| Roasted | that sucks | 23:47 |
| zzecool | is it only me ? i lost unity 3d on the latest update im on nvidia | 23:55 |
| zzecool | for some reason unity 3d fails | 23:56 |
