| * waltman yawns | 13:08 | |
| JonathanD | Good morning waltman! | 13:10 |
| JonathanD | waltman: The 11th it is, btw. | 13:11 |
| JonathanD | Don't I still owe you a cheeseburger? | 13:11 |
| jedijf | It's World Backup Day! Celebrate by Finally Backing Up Your Stuff [World Backup Day] | 13:24 |
| JonathanD | Yay! | 13:27 |
| waltman | I'd love to join you for some cheeseburgers, but I don't think you owe me one. | 13:29 |
| waltman | jedijf: Time Machine is running as I type! | 14:32 |
| jedijf | pleia2: wow thanks | 15:15 |
| pleia2 | sure | 15:15 |
| jedijf | i had to scale for launchpad was gonna offer you scaled if you needed | 15:16 |
| jedijf | how's wireless and is it deb or ubu? | 15:16 |
| pleia2 | seems to have non-vector scaled fine | 15:16 |
| jedijf | atheros is the new broadcom | 15:17 |
| pleia2 | yeah, ubuntu | 15:18 |
| jedijf | is has been, some are just flakey | 15:18 |
| pleia2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773154 | 15:18 |
| PennBot | Title: Bug #773154 “Atheros AR9285 extremely slow & unstable” : Bugs : “linux” package : Ubuntu (at bugs.launchpad.net) | 15:18 |
| pleia2 | lousy driver :( | 15:18 |
| pleia2 | and apparently a regression, people report it working better in older versions (it even seems to work slightly better in 11.10 vs 12.04 | 15:19 |
| jedijf | yeah just read that stuff | 15:21 |
| pleia2 | lucky for me this laptop is a cheapo one that I bought to play with and do testing, not actually run around and use for real like my mini9 | 15:21 |
| pleia2 | but it's still a sucky problem | 15:22 |
| jedijf | not gonna get the backport and blacklist the new one? | 15:22 |
| pleia2 | backport didn't work, blacklist driver is for acer's conflicting module, this is a lenovo | 15:22 |
| pleia2 | the removal of hwcrypt when I load the module didn't work either | 15:22 |
| pleia2 | sitting next to the access point works :) | 15:23 |
| pleia2 | but if I wanted to sit next to the access point I'd just use my desktop.. | 15:23 |
| jedijf | pleia2: wicd? | 15:27 |
| jedijf | try it, nothing to lose | 15:27 |
| pleia2 | tried it, didn't help | 15:27 |
| pleia2 | I think part of the problem with these solutions is that they seem to make the connection more stable, not actually improving the speeds a whole lot | 15:28 |
| pleia2 | more stable may be ok for most people, but I can't deal with 60kB-120kB speeds, I need fast wifis | 15:28 |
| jedijf | i just read the forum marked 'solved' but it doesn't really seem so | 15:30 |
| pleia2 | I read about 30 forum threads | 15:30 |
| jedijf | that's why a know good usb adapter is always a good idea | 15:31 |
| jedijf | knovn | 15:31 |
| jedijf | known | 15:31 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 15:31 |
| jedijf | every 6 months this random stuff crops up | 15:31 |
| pleia2 | happen to know of one? | 15:32 |
| jedijf | pleia2: did you try to build driver? | 15:34 |
| jedijf | i must just get real lucky, i buy the mc cheapest off brands and they work | 15:35 |
| jedijf | you need n support? | 15:35 |
| pleia2 | tried building the compat-wireless driver last night, didn't really work (couldn't match up the kernel version with the kernel in 12.04) | 15:35 |
| pleia2 | I didn't try very hard | 15:36 |
| pleia2 | don't need n support | 15:36 |
| jedijf | yeah it seems that the trendnet and zyxel work and they are the mc cheapos, so you can source them at fryes i imagine | 15:37 |
| pleia2 | ok cool | 15:38 |
| jedijf | ahh, testing machine, literal.... | 15:38 |
| pleia2 | :) | 15:38 |
| pleia2 | I'm using Unity! | 15:38 |
| jedijf | the kernel in 12.04, the *Ubuntu* kernel | 15:38 |
| pleia2 | oh nooo | 15:39 |
| jedijf | pleia2: you know what, if fryes are as awesome as everyone says, you may be able to get a new wireless adapter for the laptop | 15:55 |
| jedijf | internal | 15:55 |
| jedijf | at ntr we used to pull the good wireless adapters and replace the shady ones | 15:56 |
| pleia2 | hm, perhaps | 15:57 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: if you are on the list, and got the beta2 info, i think core may be of interest | 16:50 |

| MutantTurkey | who cares | 18:53 |
| MutantTurkey | its cool | 18:53 |
| MutantTurkey | no? | 18:53 |
| waltman | no. | 18:58 |
| waltman | Well, OK, I guess it's cool. But it doesn't seem very usable. | 18:59 |
| MutantTurkey | is it supposed to be usable? | 19:00 |
| MutantTurkey | this was like when my friend didn't like Fresh prince because he didn't think it was serious enough. obviously that wasn't the intended style. | 19:02 |
| waltman | I don't know what the point of it is, to be honest | 19:21 |
| waltman | but then, I also don't understand why people prefer satellite view to the normal map view. | 19:22 |
