[12:55] Morning PA. [13:08] * waltman yawns [13:10] Good morning waltman! [13:11] waltman: The 11th it is, btw. [13:11] Don't I still owe you a cheeseburger? [13:24] It's World Backup Day! Celebrate by Finally Backing Up Your Stuff [World Backup Day] [13:27] Yay! [13:29] I'd love to join you for some cheeseburgers, but I don't think you owe me one. [14:32] jedijf: Time Machine is running as I type! [15:15] pleia2: wow thanks [15:15] sure [15:16] i had to scale for launchpad was gonna offer you scaled if you needed [15:16] how's wireless and is it deb or ubu? [15:16] seems to have non-vector scaled fine [15:17] atheros is the new broadcom [15:18] yeah, ubuntu [15:18] is has been, some are just flakey [15:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773154 [15:18] Title: Bug #773154 “Atheros AR9285 extremely slow & unstable” : Bugs : “linux” package : Ubuntu (at bugs.launchpad.net) [15:18] lousy driver :( [15:19] 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 [15:21] yeah just read that stuff [15:21] 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 [15:22] but it's still a sucky problem [15:22] not gonna get the backport and blacklist the new one? [15:22] backport didn't work, blacklist driver is for acer's conflicting module, this is a lenovo [15:22] the removal of hwcrypt when I load the module didn't work either [15:23] sitting next to the access point works :) [15:23] but if I wanted to sit next to the access point I'd just use my desktop.. [15:27] pleia2: wicd? [15:27] try it, nothing to lose [15:27] tried it, didn't help [15:28] 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] more stable may be ok for most people, but I can't deal with 60kB-120kB speeds, I need fast wifis [15:30] i just read the forum marked 'solved' but it doesn't really seem so [15:30] I read about 30 forum threads [15:31] that's why a know good usb adapter is always a good idea [15:31] knovn [15:31] known [15:31] yeah [15:31] every 6 months this random stuff crops up [15:32] happen to know of one? [15:34] pleia2: did you try to build driver? [15:35] i must just get real lucky, i buy the mc cheapest off brands and they work [15:35] you need n support? [15:35] 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) [15:36] I didn't try very hard [15:36] don't need n support [15:37] yeah it seems that the trendnet and zyxel work and they are the mc cheapos, so you can source them at fryes i imagine [15:38] ok cool [15:38] ahh, testing machine, literal.... [15:38] :) [15:38] I'm using Unity! [15:38] the kernel in 12.04, the *Ubuntu* kernel [15:39] oh nooo [15:55] 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] internal [15:56] at ntr we used to pull the good wireless adapters and replace the shady ones [15:57] hm, perhaps [16:50] MutantTurkey: if you are on the list, and got the beta2 info, i think core may be of interest [16:51] @later tell passtab i think core may be of interest [16:51] jedijf: Command Succeeded. [16:51] what list... [16:51] ubuntu pa ml [16:52] http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2012/03/29/ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-beta-2-released/ [16:52] Title: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) Beta 2 Released. (at fridge.ubuntu.com) [17:08] A new Ubuntu kernel (3.2.0-20.33) [17:08] really? you did all that work by yourself? [17:09] just because you put a new paint job on a honda civic doesn't make it a chevy... [17:15] read past the marketing stuff....jeez [17:15] get to the core [17:42] how would that be interesting [17:42] I wish there was some more info [17:42] basically you can what custom spin images? [17:42] yeah, you wnat the links [17:42] ? [17:43] shows how to do it [17:43] or make a [17:43] what's that called...f .. alzheimers [17:43] kiosk [17:43] links please [17:45] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core/InstallationExample [17:45] Title: Core - Ubuntu Wiki (at wiki.ubuntu.com) [17:45] i am gonna try to install to usb later [17:55] U3 ftl [18:50] 8 bit maps....but why google? [18:53] who cares [18:53] its cool [18:53] no? [18:58] no. [18:59] Well, OK, I guess it's cool. But it doesn't seem very usable. [19:00] is it supposed to be usable? [19:02] 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. [19:21] I don't know what the point of it is, to be honest [19:22] but then, I also don't understand why people prefer satellite view to the normal map view.
