[09:03] <head_victim> So 12.04 is finally on my hardware instead of virtual machines.
[09:11] <sagaci> :)
[09:12] <md_5> and now my bnc can stay on freenode too. yay!
[09:12] <head_victim> md_5: nice work
[09:12] <md_5> I have 50 channels on esper
[09:12] <head_victim> I keep meaning to set one up but never get around to it
[09:12] <md_5> 2 on freenode (#ubuntu #ubuntu-au)
[09:12] <head_victim> I've reduced my list down to 22 on freenode and a couple on OFTC.
[09:13] <md_5> I went on a disconnect spree a few hours back. down to 37
[09:43] <head_victim> I can't get me-tv working :/
[09:43] <head_victim> Looks like they're aware of an issue and working on it.
[09:55] <sagaci> quake 3 on ubuntu?
[09:56] <head_victim> I play Urban Terror which is built of the q3 engine.
[09:56] <sagaci> student, 13, asks if quake 3 would run on ubuntu
[09:56] <sagaci> 1999 game
[09:56] <head_victim> Should do, perfectly fine.
[09:57] <head_victim> Maybe they're getting all nostalgic about the year they were born ;)
[09:57] <sagaci> just surprised one would want to play a game that pre-dates their existence
[09:58] <sagaci> let alone know about it
[09:58] <sagaci> seems to be interested in ubuntu, gave him a liveUSB with 12.04
[09:59] <head_victim> Always a good intro 
[10:02] <md_5> uh I just figured out holding down the windows key displays a handy list of shortcuts
[10:02] <md_5> neat
[10:09] <head_victim> md_5: nice find, never knew that existed.
[10:09] <md_5> neither did I ;s
[10:09] <md_5> why does Unity make it so hard to add stuff to the dock 
[10:10] <head_victim> Is it harder than in gnome shell?
[10:11] <md_5> There is no way to create a .desktop file that I can see
[10:11] <md_5> and It needs a .desktop file to pin it..
[10:12] <md_5> Thats a real joke head_victim appears there is no way other than to make it manually
[10:13] <head_victim> I'm just running programs and then right clicking and "lock to launcher"
[10:13] <md_5> doesn't work on all my java programs
[10:13] <md_5> ie the jars
[10:13] <md_5> or sublime text for some reason..
[12:17] <ikt> hey all
[12:22] <head_victim> Evening ikt 
[12:22] <ikt> just putting up a bunch of screenshots from my seedbox on release day
[12:33] <head_victim> mmmm mailing list 101
[12:33] <head_victim> Nice work, I'm pretty happy with my 12.04 setup now
[12:33] <head_victim> A couple little kinks but very much functional in under an hour of work.
[12:34] <ikt> yeah definitely
[12:34] <ikt> very happy with the release
[12:34] <ikt> watching the avengers couldn't help but think about the UI's they were using were horrible
[12:34] <ikt> they look good in movies
[12:35] <ikt> but it was like touchscreen with conky
[12:35] <ikt> tons of conky stats in boxes that they swipe all over the screen and adjust on the fly
[12:35] <head_victim> Hah, that's one of the few kinks for me to iron out, need to install and config conky
[12:39] <ikt> I'm having trouble with it
[12:39] <ikt> conky looks great
[12:39] <ikt> but I hardly ever look at my desktop anymore it seems
[12:39] <ikt> I just go between file manager, audacious/vlc, chrome and xchat/irssi
[12:39] <head_victim> I don't think it will be hard I just haven't copied my old config over yet
[12:39] <head_victim> Yeah, I generally leave xchat on one scree with conky down the side of that permanently and use the other screen as my "do other stuff"
[12:40] <ikt> ah
[13:17] <head_victim> Well you got me inspired, conky is set up now
[13:17] <head_victim> I had a little tinkering with temperature locations but other than that, copy paste
[13:39] <head_victim> ikt: http://is.gd/WNNVOm
[13:39] <sagaci> nothing like having all your system info on the desktop
[13:40] <head_victim> Oh and sagaci's here as well :) Evening
[13:40] <sagaci> 8 sleeps
[13:40] <ikt> nice
[13:40] <ikt> double monitor?
[13:41] <head_victim> ikt: yeah, a 24 and a 22
[13:41] <ikt> hrmm can't see much
[13:41] <ikt> does flickr reduce the size of the image?
[13:41] <head_victim> Apparently so, googling now and the free one only does 1024
[13:41] <ikt> ah
[13:42] <ikt> drats
[13:42] <head_victim> I can upload a close up of any section if you like?
[13:42] <ikt> whole thing :D
[13:42] <ikt> imgur
[13:42] <head_victim> Hmm, sounds fair. I'll see how hard it is to set up
[13:43] <head_victim> http://i.imgur.com/PZugU.jpg
[13:43] <head_victim> Considering ditching the wallpaper for a plain black one
[13:45] <ikt> you're in a few chat rooms
[13:46] <ikt> rantandswear looks interesting
[13:46] <head_victim> Yeah, that's the list I culled.
[13:47] <ikt> good idea on the double monitor though
[13:47] <ikt> forgot you could have 2 monitors -_- and have conky/irc on one, other stuff on the other
[13:47] <ikt> atm I'm typing this on an 11" laptop
[13:47] <ikt> with my desktop next to it
[13:49] <sagaci> head_victim: did I take long to setup 2 monitors
[13:50] <sagaci> it
[13:50] <head_victim> Nope, just opened nvidia-settings
[13:50] <ikt> had much fun with hdmi?
[13:50] <head_victim> Both DVI
[13:50] <ikt> I plug my lappy into the tv using HDML, get video up but audio comes out of my laptop, and no hdmi audio out :S
[13:50] <ikt> hdmi*
[13:52] <head_victim> Ah, hardware or driver issue?
[13:55] <ikt> not sure
[13:55] <ikt> tried both ati and os drivers
[13:55] <ikt> neither worked
[13:55] <ikt> the ati drivers made it worse :S
[13:59] <head_victim> I'm currently playing around trying to see if I can get evolution to be a 1:1 offline backup for gmail for email, calendar and contacts.
[14:02] <ikt> which software do you use for contacts/calendar?
[14:03] <head_victim> evolution can do it
[14:14] <ikt> how do you sync to it?
[14:14] <ikt> like if you wanted to have cal on your phone + in evo?
[14:21] <head_victim> Gotta run for a bit, it's not too difficult but I can explain when I return
[14:25] <ikt> kk
[14:37] <head_victim> Still running away but the principle of it for me is to have an offline backup of my important google stuff so if they lock me out, go broke, shut down services, etc, I can still get my data and life goes on.
[14:54] <ikt> oh
[14:54] <ikt> O
[14:55] <ikt> I'm thinking more of a sync server
[14:55] <ikt> running LDAP + AD + WebDav/Cal or something
[16:15] <head_victim> ikt: it does that as well, you can use it instead of the web interface if you prefer. I'm only trying to use it for the backup purpose though
