[20:07] <harris> does anyone have a tablet with ubuntu on it
[20:09] <ikonia> not a lot of options
[20:09] <ikonia> certainly nothing native
[20:30] <bluegoon> Hello
[20:30] <bluegoon> Which IRC client would be best for ubuntu?
[20:31] <IdleOne> bluegoon: not really the sort of question this channel was meant for, but there are several.
[20:31] <IdleOne> !irc
[20:31] <ubot5> A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines
[20:31] <IdleOne> !clients
[20:31] <IdleOne> hmm
[20:32] <IdleOne> Xchat, quassel, are two popular GUI clients
[20:32] <IdleOne> there is also irssi for a CLI client and a few others

[20:53] <rymate1234> hai
[20:54] <IdleOne> hello
[20:54] <IdleOne> I'm sure Galvatron will be along soon
[20:55] <Galvatron> I am
[20:55] <rymate1234> lol
[20:55] <IdleOne> oh, hehe
[20:55] <IdleOne> Didn't see you there hiding in the corner
[20:55] <Galvatron> I wonder why Canonical is trying to stick to GNOME 3 and Compiz at any cost, while the current KDE is very mature, stable and has almost everything to run Unity.
[20:56] <Galvatron> They would just need to make the Dash into a Plasmoid
[20:57] <Galvatron> Andmaybe add a plasmoid for the window buttons on the panel
[20:58] <Galvatron> There's even a plasmoid for the launcher (it might need a little work, though)
[20:58] <ikonia> because they are backing ubuntu as a gnome distro
[20:58] <Galvatron> Kubuntu is now supported by Blue Systems
[20:58] <rymate1234> they could at least recode unity to use mutter
[20:59] <Galvatron> Mutter is an utter mule, compared to Compiz
[20:59] <rymate1234> isn't compis supposed to be dead?
[20:59] <rymate1234> -s +z
[20:59] <Galvatron> Compiz is up and fine, especially the stable 0.8.x branch
[21:00] <Galvatron> It's the development 0.9.x that causes all the trouble
[21:01] <Galvatron> And Canonical pushing it int a "stable" version of a distro
[21:02] <rymate1234> meh
[21:03] <Galvatron> I've had problems with 0.9.x ever since it was introduced, back in 11.04
[21:04] <Galvatron> Back then I just swutched back to 0.8.6, but now it's not easy
[21:14] <AlanBell> I have heard people saying that compiz 0.8 series is more stable, however I am finding the version in Ubuntu pretty solid now
[21:15] <AlanBell> the unity plugin was pretty buggy and kept bringing down the whole stack a couple of cycles ago but now it reloads perfectly happily
[21:15] <AlanBell> that was the problem with CCSM, any time you turn on or off a plugin they all get reloaded, and it is bad if there is a crashy one, but now it works fine
