andygraybealVisig0th, SW, hey i'm SE00:00
andygraybealwhat time EST is 12.04 going to be released?00:00
andygraybeal<cc11rocks> UTC 21:00...Can use an online converter if you want 'cause I'm lazy at the current moment00:00
andygraybealVisig0th, you like the pinkdots or edward ka-spel?00:04
Visig0thHaven't heard of either andygraybeal, are they musical groups?00:11
andygraybealyes, i'm judging you by your nick and it is a band from the 80s.. up through now.00:12
andygraybeallong time my favorite.  i don't listen to much music anymore accept IDM though.00:13
Visig0thAh, well my nick was chosen more than a decade ago when I used to do historical research, at the time I was studying the Visigothic and Ostrogothic peoples.00:18
Visig0thMusically I like some pop, electronic music, such as Joy Electric, NIN, Depeche Mode, and other groups that catch my attention.00:20
andygraybealaah nice nice00:20
andygraybealyes, i don't know joy electric, but i think i would like it.00:21
andygraybeali'm so excited for 12.04 :)00:23
Visig0thI am too, looking forward to upgrading some servers.00:38
Visig0thActually, I'm putting off a server move until its released with the hopes to make use of it.00:38
andygraybealah nice00:51
andygraybealfirstly, i'm can't wait to load it on my laptop.  secondly the servers :)00:52
* canthus13 avoided that trainwreck.00:52
* canthus13 will stay away from Unity, tyvm. :)00:53
andygraybeali'm happy w/ 10.04 :)  well.. and the libreoffice ppa (i run a terminal server at work with userspace apps)00:53
andygraybeali like unity, i don't know why people are so crabby about it. there are plenty of options anyway.00:53
canthus13andygraybeal: yup. I switched to Mint. It's based on Ubuntu, uses many of the same packages.00:54
andygraybeallike i'm expecting to use the failback mode for our machines at work.00:54
andygraybealbut i will wait to make up my mind after i have tested everything.00:54
* canthus13 prefers gnome 3 over unity, and openbox over most anything. :P00:55
andygraybealas far as alternatives go, i think i did scrotwm :)00:55
andygraybealone, it sounds like my ball sack, two it's awesome.00:56
andygraybeal*dig00:56
Cheri703Unit193: I will believe it when it isn't spelled valvle04:45

andygraybeal_it's today!15:03
andygraybeal_#ubuntu-release-party :))))))15:04
andygraybeal_i already have it installed!!!15:04
andygraybeal_yay15:04
andygraybeal_i had to use the torrent, nothing else would work15:04
Cheri703as with all releases, it raises the age old question: upgrade or fresh reinstall?15:40
andygraybeal_fresh fresh, never upgrade .. ever ever.15:40
thafreakwow today, how odd...i thought it was always basically the very end of the month, like the 29th15:40
Cheri703yeah, I hear that often, then hear people do find with upgrading15:41
thafreaksweet15:41
Cheri703I don't have time to deal with reinstalling at this point, but I'd like to play with it15:41
thafreakwell, i want to freshly install a base server that i can make clone'd vm's from :)15:41
andygraybeal_make time, that's why it's a scheduled relelase :P15:41
andygraybeal_yea, i run everythign in vms :)15:41
Cheri703this week is CRAZY busy and I need to be cramming for a "deeply technical" interview on monday on top of working from home before and after work, aaand trying to study for sec+ test in a few weeks AND doing regular life stuff around the house >.<15:42
thafreakneed to upgrade my remote desktop vm...and my ltsp vm15:42
andygraybeal_ltsp ftw!!!15:42
thafreakCheri703: unless you need the machine you're upgrading, can't you just let it do it's thing while you study :)15:43
thafreakAnyone know if there is anything new in the way of remote desktop stuff in precise?15:43
thafreakI'm currently using really old freenx stuff...15:44
Cheri703but the re-setting up everything15:44
Cheri703some of it requires hands-on15:44
thafreakbah, just do that as you go along :)15:44
jrgiffordthe pangolin is unleashed.15:44
thafreakhey, watch it, this is a family freindly channel...15:45
thafreakoh, wait, i see what you did there...15:45
jrgiffordlol what thafreak ? ;)15:45
thafreakput your pangolin away...lol15:45
* jrgifford facepalms15:45
andygraybeal_i use x2go15:46
andygraybeal_but it's not new15:46
andygraybeal_er i mean with 10.0415:46
Cheri703the other thought is to just hold off, as in a month or so I'm hoping to have saved up for a new (SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful) laptop, or I may be putting a new mobo in one around here15:46
thafreaki think that's what they switched to...or were talking of switching to, since it's actively developed15:46
jrgiffordCheri703: nah, trust me, don't hold off.15:46
jrgiffordthe performance gains that i get with 12.04 knocks 11.10 out of the water.15:46
paultagdebian ftw15:46
paultagjrgifford: perhaps with Unity ;)15:47
paultagthe rest of the OS is about the same15:47
thafreakeven with full disk crypto? :)15:47
paultagfuck that mess15:47
paultagdd + gpg ftw :)15:47
jrgiffordcompiling everything seems to take less time as well,15:47
thafreaki just use dm crypt and LUKS containers...15:47
jrgiffordbut i'm not sure if that's my hard drive upgrade or the OS. ;)15:47
paultagplacebo affect :)15:47
paultagthe gcc toolchain is almost the same15:48
thafreakpaultag is a placebo15:48
thafreakand a toolchain15:48
paultaggcc-4.7 is in debian, pending default15:48
paultagwhich will have some cool new changes15:48
thafreakso now the question is...64bit or not...15:51
thafreakbeen sticking with 32bit cause of flash...15:52
paultagI've switched because I (sadly) need it15:54
paultagbecause of mongodb and how it mmaps stuff15:54
thafreakprobably don't need to keep around these older 9.04 and 9.10 iso's i guess15:54
thafreaki'll probably go back to 64bit again...15:54
thafreakworst that happens, is i'm stuck using chrome to watch hulu...15:55
thafreakamiright15:55

Unit193And they're looking for a longer term fix for the Pandora clients, already a temp one.  And that doesn't qutie sound good.19:48
jrgiffordUnit193: yeah, so you're having issues with pianobar as well?19:56
jrgiffordBiosElement: resignation?19:56
BiosElementjrgifford: Yeah, I'm quitting my existing job as Minecraft tech support. I will not be accused of not doing my job by a new hire. Not gonna happen.19:56

Unit193That's no good, Ubuntu repo is stale when it comes to that, and also it just came out. :P19:58
Unit193Compile.19:58
jrgiffordwhy can't he just write it in python or something so I don't have to compile? :p19:58
jrgiffordok, i'll try that tomorrow or something19:58
_bbb_hi19:59

Unit193Heh, it's really not hard, but there's always that.20:01
jrgiffordi'll just catch up on my podcasts, i've gotten really far behind.20:01
jrgifford_bbb_: ubuntu is an operating system20:01
_bbb_yeah im just joshin20:04
toddcwhew20:07
jandruskI thought Ubuntu was an African philosophy ==> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28philosophy%2920:48
BiosElementAnd an operating system ==> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)20:55
Unit193So weird!@20:55
jandruskForgot my work laptop this morning and have been having Emacs withdrawal.20:56
paultagthe only reason to use emacs is org mode20:57
paultagand that's not enough to make me use it20:57
paultagvimftw20:57
paultagoh man20:57
paultagvimftw.tumblr.com ← that would be awesome20:57
Unit193xkcd. :D20:58
jandruskI use it for org-mode, writing email, and other modes too numerous to mention.20:58
paultagemacs is such a pita20:58
* BiosElement waves his "Sublime Text 2 FTW" flag20:58
paultaga lot of pythonists I know use sublime20:59
paultagI like it, but it's nonfree20:59
jandruskI consider it more of my OS than the Xubuntu instance that it runs on. Not to mention eShell and dired.20:59
jandruskBut that's just me.20:59
BiosElementIt's nonfree but it's got an unlimited trial and the majority of the bits are open source if not f/oss.20:59
jandruskWhat about the GNU version is nonfree?21:00
paultagEMACS is nonfree, it shipped some yacc files people lost the source21:00
paultagwas, I think rms finally fixed it21:00
paultagBiosElement: it's nonfree, and I can't stand it :(21:00
BiosElementI never caught stallman syndrome. :P It's great to have em around but I'd never want to be them. Much rather prove linux devs are willing to pay for what helps them.21:01
paultagsorry?21:03
paultagfree as in freedom, not beer21:03
paultagthere are for-pay f/oss apps that do just fine21:03
BiosElementpaultag: I know what you mean.21:03
paultagI get paid for F/OSS21:03
paultagthat's a hella strawman21:03
BiosElementNot sure how you see that as a strawman, it's a fair opinion statement.21:06
paultagF/OSS != pay21:06
paultagthe issue of f/oss is not connected with pay21:06
BiosElementVery true, however the logic used by folks who see it either way is not wrong. There simply isn't a right answer for everyone.21:07
