FirePowiHi08:32
knomeastraljava, hah. :)10:34
knomeastraljava, thanks for the mail to -users!10:34
astraljavaNo worries, I'm just taking the first steps for the upcoming release. Trying to take a bigger role.10:56
knome\o/11:05
* knome is cleaning up the house11:06
astraljavaYou're a strange man.11:18
knomehow?11:21
astraljavaNo questions. You just are.11:23
knomeaha11:23
ochosiknome: i think i've more or less figured out the xfdesktop label setting13:19
ochosiknome: the only oddity that remains is a selected label when the desktop doesn't have focus. i'm not sure whether it's important or not, but that's something that is already not very nice with our current/default solution13:20
knomeso how does it look then?13:20
ochosioh, wait, i just figured that out too13:21
knomehah13:21
knomeastraljava, damn, everything in popparienkeli is -70% now..13:21
knomeastraljava, (didn't go there yesterday though, but it's open only until friday)13:22
ochosii'll provide a few screenshots later13:22
knomegreat13:22
ochosithe font will have to stay bold for desktop-items13:22
ochosiit really improves readability13:23
knomeyeah13:23
ochosii think it might generally be a good thing13:23
astraljavaknome: Soo... I don't see the problem. Help me spot it. :D13:23
astraljavaochosi: You might be on to something there. *grin*13:24
knomeastraljava, well, i was just wondering if you had any interests to join me someday13:24
astraljavaOh, certainly. Not tomorrow, though, unless I get out from work early enough. Jyp plays the 5th final tomorrow.13:25
knomehehe13:25
astraljavaBut that's 18:30, so could do before that, time permitting.13:25
knomebetter to go with time13:25
astraljavaRight, might be better.13:26
knomethough i still don't know if i'll find anything to buy there :(13:26
astraljavaOh wait, on Tuesday a friend brings some boxes for the move, so that's bad too.13:26
astraljavaWill that be too late then to go on Wednesday?13:26
knomeof course not13:27
astraljavaOkay, so could that work?13:27
knomeas said, i'm not looking for anything specific13:27
astraljavaRight.13:27
knomewednesday sounds good13:27
astraljavaExcellent.13:27
ochosihttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-04222012-032735pm.php13:27
knomeochosi, that's pretty good.13:28
astraljavaShall we say around 5-ish?13:28
knomeochosi, what about trying it against the cloud-wallpaper we saw earlier?13:28
knomeastraljava, yeah, worksforme :)13:28
knomeastraljava, at kamppi i suppose? :)13:28
astraljavaochosi: Yeah that looks sweet!13:28
ochosithanks :)13:29
astraljavaknome: Well either that, or at the store itself, up to you.13:29
astraljavaOr of course somewhere else if you have a better idea.13:29
knomekamppi works well, because i'm going to have to come there first too13:29
astraljavaI doubt it, mine are usually superior.13:29
astraljava*grin*13:29
knomehar13:29
knomeso, wed, 17 @ kamppi13:29
astraljavaWill mark it on the calendar.13:30
knomethat's actually super13:30
knomeif they have ordered the new kent album, they'll have it13:30
knomeif not, then i'll just buy it elsewhere13:30
knomebut getting -70% would be great13:30
ochosihttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-04222012-033034pm.php13:30
knomethough i suppose they haven't been getting much new stuff in...13:30
ochosithis time you can also see how a selection currently looks13:30
astraljavaProbably not, but we'll see.13:30
astraljavaYou guys are magicians.13:31
ochosiwho?13:31
knomeochosi, me, and me13:31
ochosihah13:31
ochosias you can see the shadow changes when an item is selected13:32
knomeit's very subtle though13:32
knomei'm actually even thinking that might be a bit bad.13:33
ochosiit's because the whole implementation is a hack (combining the shadow-option of xfdesktop [set to top-left] and murrine [set to bottom-right])13:33
knomei mean, isn't it a bit weird to have two different "light sources" ?13:33
ochosithere is no "surrounding" shadow13:33
ochosithe only thing i can do is make the other shadow appear (bottom-right)13:33
astraljavaknome: Shush... that's genious.13:33
ochosii have to combine two "diagonal" shadows, if you know what i mean13:34
knomehah :)13:34
knomeochosi, yup13:34
knomeochosi, what if you tried the "normal" way?13:34
knome(shadow at bottom-right)13:34
knomethat's somehow more natural looking13:34
ochosiyeah, wait, actually give me a sec, i might still be able to figure it out13:34
knome:)13:34
ochosihttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-04222012-033659pm.php13:37
ochosidone :)13:37
knomehumm13:37
ochosixfdesktop has an amazing amount of theming switches...13:37
knomewhat if you tried just one shadow in the bottom-right?13:37
ochosimeh13:37
ochosii'm not a big fan, because then i have to switch shadows (murrine/xfdesktop) :/13:38
ochosihttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-04222012-033913pm.php13:39
ochosii can't tweak that shadow-color btw13:39
ochosimurrine doesn't distinguish between selected and normal13:39
knomei think that's better than the other version13:39
ochosirly?13:39
ochosii think the shadow is too bright13:39
knomeyeah13:39
knomei can live with the other too, but i think this works better than the other13:40
ochosiand as i said, i can't change it13:40
ochosii'll think about it, but i think the rest of the settings is fine as is13:41
ochosibbiab13:41
knomeyup, agreed on that13:41
astraljavaknome: re: Release Notes, why does it say to use `do-release-upgrade -d`, isn't that supposed to go out when it's no longer a dev release?14:25
knomeastraljava, that's something kate or smb else has put in there14:36
astraljavaOh... so, it hasn't had a comb-through yet?14:39
knomeno, not completely14:39
astraljavaWe should probably do it tonight. Got spare time?14:39
knomesure.14:40
knomenow? :)14:40
astraljavaWhy not, I'll just make a sandwich first.14:40
knomeok14:40
knomeactually, it looks like upgrading is the only section that needs updating14:40
astraljavaOh ok, so then it's going to be quick.14:43
knomeyeah. no need for sandwiches to survive14:44
astraljavaHeh. :)14:45
knomeso i suppose it's just s/-d// ?14:46
astraljavaYeah. And is it really that is shows Ubuntu?14:47
knomehuh?14:47
astraljavaHave the window manager shortcuts really changed?14:47
knomeyes, they should have14:47
astraljava(it shows as Ubuntu, but updates Xubuntu);14:48
knomei'm not sure if that's true for upgrades14:48
knomehmm.14:48
knomei've no idea.14:48
knomei think stgraber has been testing xubuntu upgrades too, should ask him, or anybody else who actually did that14:49
astraljavaI'll give it a go in virt.14:50
knomei suppose that's works as well :)14:50
astraljava"This makes Ubuntu more consistent the upstream implementation and with Debian." Shouldn't it be "...more consistent with the upstream implementation and Debian."?14:57
astraljavaBut I can't find it in the edit mode.14:58
* astraljava scratches head14:58
knomeit's probably just included14:58
knomelook for <<Include14:58
astraljavaYeah that was it, thanks.15:01
knomenp15:01
knomei think some porcupine tree stuff could work.15:03
astraljavaI need something heavier to keep me going.15:04
astraljavaPagan's Mind will do nicely.15:04
knomei was referring to the PE-excursion :)15:04
astraljavaHmm... well now you lost me completely.15:06
knomewednesday?15:06
astraljavaRight.15:06
astraljavaGot it.15:06
knome:)15:07
astraljavaYeah I won't object if you insist on buying some PT stuff for me.15:10
knomehaha. :)15:10
knomei don't have too much myself, and i don't think i like all of their stuff.15:10
knomehttp://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/04/10/1639252/kubuntu-to-be-sponsored-by-blue-systems-rather-than-canonical15:14
knomethat's interesting news.15:14
astraljavaYes indeed.15:16
astraljavaIsn't it "sticky window" instead of "stick window"?15:17
knomei think the verb is "stick(ing) window"15:17
knomenot stickying15:17
knomemaybe "make the window sticky"15:17
astraljavaOk.15:17
astraljava"...moving and resizing [a window|windows]"?15:18
knomewindows15:19
knomeif you're doing changes to the "new shortcuts" -section, they should be updated to the article on xubuntu.org too15:19
ochosiknome: i can also "double" the shadow in selected items on the desktop: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-04222012-052051pm.php15:20
ochosiit's very pronounced though, not exactly elegant...15:21
knomehuh15:21
knomeno15:21
ochosiotoh it's visually very clear15:21
knomesure15:22
knomewhat if the "first" shadow was white?15:22
ochosii can only tweak the outer-shadow15:22
knomeaha15:22
astraljavaknome: Can we really update with using a Desktop CD nowadays? Where has this line come from? "Upstream"?15:22
knomeyeah.15:23
ochosioh wait, seems to be the inner-shadow15:23
ochosii gotta go now, i'll be back for the rest of the day/night later15:23
knomeok, see you15:23
ochosiwill do some nice fitpc-hacking :)15:23
astraljavaknome: The images link now points to the devel cycle-timed URL. Stable releases are found at http://releases.ubuntu.com15:25
astraljavaShould that be changed, or do we know if that pattern will work later on, as well?15:25
knomei'd ask skaet 15:25
astraljavaOk.15:25
astraljavaSo you just wanted to see whether I do my job or not?! ;D15:28
knomeno, i really just noticed that :P15:29
astraljavaSuuuure. :D15:29
knomeO:)15:29
astraljavaA rum-stained halo, for sure.15:31
knomewho knows...15:32
astraljavaHave I already asked; does it really require 5GB space these days?15:33
knomei don't think you have15:33
knomei don't know the answer either, though15:33
knomei copied that from help.ubuntu.com15:33
astraljavaOk, well, I'll see it pretty reliably once I upgrade from oneiric.15:37
knomemmh15:38
astraljavaHmmm... I thought aptitude got multiarch support just recently?15:44
astraljavaWe have ARM images?!15:45
knomeyes, multiarch isn't that old15:57
knomexubuntu probably doesn't have the arm images, that's probably included too15:58
astraljavaYeah, bug #831768 seems to say it landed in March already.16:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 831768 in aptitude (Ubuntu Precise) "aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/83176816:02
astraljavahrm... not sure whether it is actually usable, still.16:03
knomeagain, i think people in -release will know better16:04
astraljavaAlready asked.16:07
knomejust noticed :)16:07
astraljavaknome: Ok, I think I can live with the Release Notes now. I didn't realize at first that the ARM reference came from Common Infrastructure, too.16:20
knomeastraljava, yep, thanks for the work17:14
astraljavaknome: I accidentally vanilla.17:15
astraljava*sigh*17:15
knomei chocolate17:18
astraljavaI invited a friend for the PE trip, but when he heard of the sales, he said he'd likely try to go tomorrow already. We'll see. :)17:19
knomeawwh :)17:19
ochosihm, what would you think, xubuntu or debian+xfce for my homeserver?17:19
knomei'd say debian17:19
ochosimhm, why?17:19
ochositradition?17:20
knomenot so much unnecessary stuff17:20
astraljavaCentOS17:20
ochosiCentOS? what's that again, something debian-based?17:20
ochosiah, right, yeah, the unnecessary stuff is a good argument17:20
knomeastraljava, that isn't one of the options in "xubuntu" and "debian+xfce" :)17:21
ochosihaha17:21
astraljavaNah, Community ENTerprise OS. Based on RH.17:21
astraljavaknome: There's always the third, hidden option.17:21
astraljavaI always take that.17:21
ochosiyeah, well it should play flash etc, it's a multimedia server17:21
ochosithe thing is that i like debian packaging, that's what i'm used to17:21
astraljavaThen choose one of those new-fangled spin-offs of Ubuntu with lots of ZZ's in their names.17:21
knomeotoh, if you want newer packages... then maybe xubuntu17:22
ochosiyeah, or debian unstable?17:22
knomebut even then, i'd maybe go with the minimal installation17:22
ochosii also don't really know which debian version i should go with17:22
ochosiyeah, maybe ubuntu minimal is a good choice17:22
knomei thought even unstable had older packages than ubuntu17:22
knomebut maybe i'm wrong17:22
ochosii think it does17:23
astraljavaThis may have been the case until recently, when people really started to pay attention to the 'New packages into Debian first' mentality.17:23
knomethat being said, i also think the new stuff gets to ubuntu quicker than debian17:23
knomeastraljava, yeah, maybe. that makes sense tho17:23
astraljavaIt may not have change completely, but it's going to be better. And in some cases sid still is ahead of Ubuntu dev.17:24
astraljavachanged*17:24
ochosithe nice advantage of ubuntu are the ppas17:24
astraljavaEspecially when Ubuntu is nearing towards the end of the dev cycle.17:24
ochosibeing able to easily manage additional software sources isn't as manifold and simple in debian (status of when i last tried it)17:25
knomeyeah, that's the bad side17:25
astraljavaochosi: Yeah, that's right. jussi for instance made me realize there's this awesome service called sopcasting. Probably totally illegal, but it's in a PPA. :D17:25
ochosihehe17:25
knomeyes, totally illegal.17:25
astraljavaknome: Ok, please wipe this from the logs.17:25
knomebut really useful for following cycling17:26
ochosilol17:26
astraljava*smirk*17:26
knomedamn, the eurosport player doesn't even work on linux17:26
knomeeven if i wanted to give them my money17:26
ochosiastraljava: so why CentOS?17:26
astraljavaochosi: Not really, I just installed it the first time yesterday evening.17:26
knomedoesn't people say centos is really secure?17:26
astraljavaochosi: Not for fun, mind you. Work-related.17:26
knomethough i think it has the same issue with not having new packages17:26
ochosimhm17:27
ochosiright, so i guess i could take the server images of ubuntu then...17:27
astraljavaknome: Yeah, it's like Red Hat, but not company-backed.17:27
knomeochosi, no!17:27
knomei mean, uh17:27
ochosiknome: why not?17:27
knomei've heard the ubuntu server is not too good17:27
ochosioh17:27
ochosia-ha17:28
knomebut otoh, what do i know, never run it myself17:28
astraljavaknome: Playing the spin doctor here?17:28
knomebut some weird defaults, i hear17:28
ochosiah, hmm17:28
knomemaybe it's okay for you17:28
ochosiwell i don't know what ubuntu-minimal has as defaults17:28
knomei mean, it's probably all taste...17:28
ochosii mean server-relevant defaults17:28
knomeochosi, probably the same stuff though ;)17:28
knomebut you can select which packages you're getting17:28
knomei mean, better granularity17:29
ochosiyou mean with minimal?17:29
knomeon a server, i'd probably remove install-recommends17:29
knomeyeah17:29
ochosiok17:29
knomeyou can always install the recommended packages manually if something seems not to work17:29
ochosiwe'll see, i'll dl both versions now (server,alternate) and then decide17:29
knomenot the minimal? :)17:30
ochosiyeah, i hate the fact that recommends==depends in ubuntu17:30
knomewell, they are not!17:30
knomethey just appear the same17:30
ochosiwait, i thought with alternate i can install minimal, no?17:30
knomeno17:30
knomeminimal is really minimal17:30
knome!minimal17:30
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD17:30
ochosiwhat about 12.04?17:31
knomehttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso17:32
knomehttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso17:32
knometry those :P17:32
ochosiwoot, 30mb? :)17:32
knomeyeah.17:32
knomeminimal.17:32
knomeit doesn't install X if you don't tell it to.17:33
ochosimhm, sounds ideal17:33
ochosii think i want X though :)17:33
knomeor, if you don't tell it to install something that needs X17:33
knomebut remember to remove the install-recommends at the beginning ;)17:33
knomeotherwise you'll quickly end up installing half of gnome ;)17:34
ochosimeh, somehow the mini.iso doesn't seem to work with usb-startup-disc creator17:35
knomeyes, because the startup creator only support desktop images anyway17:35
ochosiargh17:35
knome(not even alternative)17:35
ochosiok, so how do i create a startup-disc with that?17:35
knomei'm not sure.17:36
ochosii don't have a cd drive in my server :)17:36
knomei did that once, but i don't remember17:36
ochosiok, unetbootin seems to be the way to go17:38
knomethe weirdest thing i did was a bootable cd with grub that loaded usb drivers and thus allowed booting from usb on a laptop that didn't support booting from usb17:38
ochosilol17:38
ochosithat's a pretty spiffy trick17:38
knomebut that worked! instant win17:38
ochosii'll try to remember that (if i ever meet a pc again without usb-booting)17:39
knomehehe :)17:39
knomeprobably won't see many17:39
knomewhat a lovely spring night.17:43
ochosihmright, as soon as the 17:45
ochosiargh17:45
ochosiunplugged the router .)17:46
knomehehe17:46
ochosi... installer is running i'll try to fix the desktop icon stuff17:46
ochosiat least one more thing that's dealt with17:46
knomehah, yeah, even before the cycle has started17:47
knomeor are you trying to get that in precise? :P17:47
ochosiyeha, it#s something for proposed17:47
knomesounds better ;)17:47
astraljavaknome: Too true. Too bad I don't yet feel well enough for a stroll outside, I'd totally love to take one.17:48
knomemmh :/17:48
jussiI deny everything!17:54
knomejussi, that's what the guilty people usually do, you're correct17:55
jussi lol17:55
Unit193Yep, he's bad.17:55
astraljavaI actually rather like that one fella's nick on one of these channels, I forget which exactly.17:56
astraljavaIAmNotThatGuy17:56
astraljavaSort of reminds of that jussi's outburst. :)17:57
knomes/'s outburst//17:57
astraljavaHahah.17:58
* astraljava ^5's knome17:58
knomethat's a lot of mass17:59
astraljavaMassive Attack?18:01
knomenah.18:01
* knome is listening to explosions in the sky18:01
* astraljava wants to go see Iron Sky18:01
* knome not so much18:01
astraljavaYou're no fun.18:01
astraljavaI was just about to ask whether you'd go with me on Wed.18:01
knomei suppose it can be relatively entertaining, but maybe on a dvd someday.18:01
knomehehe :)18:02
astraljavabah18:02
knomei'll think about it. we should have a few spare tickets left.18:02
knomei'll let you know tomorrow, ok? :)18:02
knomei was personally thinking some nhl11 at ours.18:02
knomebtw, where's your temporary residence?18:03
knomeat the cleaning room in the office? :P18:04
astraljavaIt's two doors down from where I will move to on the eve of 1st of May. :)18:05
knomeohh, you got an apartment? :)18:06
astraljavaWhich reminds me, what are you doing on that afternoon?! *grin*18:06
knomecongrats.18:06
astraljavaIt's 99% finalized.18:06
knomenothing that i know of, yet18:06
astraljavaBut should get done one of these days, probably tomorrow. Työsuhdeasunto, too.18:06
knomegreat. :)18:06
astraljavaAlright, then you're helping me move. EOD.18:07
knomeok. :)18:07
knomei've already promised to do the same stuff on 2nd of may. :)18:07
knomeremind you, i don't have a driver's license18:07
astraljavaWell in all fairness, the more friends I'll have here, the sooner you're free to celebrate. If there's, say, four of us, I bet the heavy stuff are in in less than half an hour or so.18:07
knomehehe, yeah18:08
astraljavaNo, it's the eve of 1st of May.18:08
ochosihumm, any filesystem advice?18:08
astraljava30.4.18:08
ochosibtrfs? ext4?18:08
knomeastraljava, yeah, but i'm moving an another friend in 2nd of may :)18:08
astraljavaMy iPhone is haunted.18:08
astraljavaSure, sure.18:08
astraljavaochosi: I have no idea, so I'd go with ext4.18:09
astraljavaThere are probably better ones for server usage, though. JFS? *shrug*18:09
knomei don't know much about that either18:09
knomegoogle.18:09
astraljavaErr... sorry, it was XFS that I was thinking of.18:10
astraljava...though, it seems that extX handles power losses better.18:11
astraljavaBut, this is just a quick glimpse. Better not give you any FUD. Just RTFM.18:12
ochosihmyeah, i went with ext418:20
ochosieven though ext2 might be better when trying to reduce write-cycles18:20
astraljavaochosi: I just read that XFS is better for huge files, which that being a media server, might host DVD or even blu-ray images at some point, no?18:23
ochosihumwell, the media-files are all on external harddrives18:23
astraljavaYea ok.18:23
ochosifor internal use (system, torrent-cache) i have a 60gb ssd18:23
knomeyeah, i don't think ochosi is rich enough to buy a BIG ssd ;)18:23
ochosiheh18:24
ochosiwell, yeah, "BIG" :)18:24
knomewell, to host bluray discs...18:24
astraljavaYeah well, I didn't think you'd need SSD for serving those, the data stream isn't _that_ huge. :D18:27
knomeno, but i knew ochosi had bought an SSD18:28
astraljavaAhh... ok.18:28
ochosii have 2TB of external hdds18:28
ochosiwhich will partly raid (via rsync) and use the rest as media storage18:29
knomei don't have that much HDD space altogether :)18:29
knomethough, i don't need that much either...18:29
ochosimhm, i've never had so much before18:29
knomeastraljava, viekkain eläin kettu on ja sen röyhkeys on uskomaton - luulin koiraani ketuksi ja sen ammuin, oijoijoi... niin ovela vain kettu olla voi18:34
ochosifinnish is a weird language :)18:34
knomeastraljava, i know you like animals, so i had to paste you those nice song lyrics18:34
astraljavaknome: Lay off the rum for today, will ya?18:34
knomeastraljava, no, that's an actual recorded song18:35
