rick_h_gamerchick02: I'll be here, I'm connected form my server00:00
rick_h_but I'll be out tomorrow00:00
gamerchick02_I am here! on the air.00:01
gamerchick02_xchat azure FTW00:02
gamerchick02_hah, it's funny seeing both my names in IRC chat.00:11
gamerchick02rick_h_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187/comments/14600:30
gamerchick02so much "me too" BS in this thread, it makes my head hurt. i read it the other day too00:31
rick_h_yea, it's a really bad bug report00:31
rick_h_Blazeix: https://devcenter.heroku.com/changelog-items/8600:33
gamerchick02well, it's turned into a forum post thing00:34
gamerchick02i'm surprised this didn't pop up when everything was going through testing00:34
snap-lgamerchick02: I'm sure it did, and folks thought "it'll get fixed in post"00:35
snap-land then it never did.00:35
snap-lor Intel decided to go cheap again00:35
snap-l(and try offshoring their drivers again)00:35
gamerchick02lordy00:35
gamerchick02so i was WRONG to get a shiny new i-series processor. :(00:36
gamerchick02oh, and that's what the lockup issue is on the intel macs too. since apple has gone to intel i-series, they're having this issue crop up.00:36
gamerchick02fixed in post? what does that mean?00:36
snap-lIt's an expression in radio / TV00:37
gamerchick02https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187/comments/117 comment #117 is supposed to be a workaround. i'd rather not use it00:37
snap-lmeans someome will edit it before it's released (post-production)00:37
gamerchick02oh. thanks.00:37
gamerchick02other than this issue, no problems with the new release. ahem.00:38
snap-lAlso can be used sarcastically to mean that "someone will fix it later", which ends up meaning nobody fixes it.00:38
rick_h_gamerchick02: well, to be fair, my experience with this is really erratic00:38
rick_h_I've not had it happen at all today00:38
rick_h_but the other day I had it happen 5 times in 10 boots00:38
rick_h_and the syslog is empty of details00:38
rick_h_I need to check kernel log/etc as well but haven't yet00:38
rick_h_and there's been a few kernel updates since 12.04 came out, so curious if it's been introduced00:39
gamerchick02exactly!00:39
rick_h_and a bug report like this doesn't help anyone that can make a difference00:39
gamerchick02i've had it happen 3 times in a day (day being after work, after 5 pm to usually 9 or 10 pm)00:39
gamerchick025 times in a "day"00:39
gamerchick02or even NO times in a day00:39
snap-lhttp://heroesagainstdarkness.blogspot.com/p/game-rules-download.html00:39
gamerchick02i had the computer from suspend this morning and it worked fine00:40
rick_h_and I've had it mostly right after boot when I've been starting up all my network stuff00:40
rick_h_which made me think it might be network related or chrome related00:40
snap-lOr may be ahci related00:40
gamerchick02i checked something this morning (weather, i think) no problems, then came back from work, came back from suspend, had a crash. rebooted, was doing some stuff in chrome, had another crash.00:40
rick_h_video is possible though, I've had issues where when my displays go to sleep, they don't come back00:41
gamerchick02that's a problem as well00:41
rick_h_so there's some stuff going on, always fun when you get the first gen of new hardware00:41
gamerchick02are you using the integrated video, rick_h_?00:41
snap-l(acpi, rather)00:41
rick_h_yea, intel integrated on the laptop is it00:41
gamerchick02i know i am. and if the purchase of a video card will fix it, i will go to microcenter next weekend (funnily enough, when the boy is coming to visit again) and install a shiny nVidia card.00:42
snap-lThe boy?00:42
gamerchick02Brian00:42
rick_h_gamerchick02: this is on a desktop?00:42
snap-lATI / AMD should work as well00:42
gamerchick02desktop00:42
rick_h_ah ok00:43
gamerchick02you're an AMD fan, aren't you, snap-l. so is he. :)00:43
snap-lWEll, I've had god luck with them recently00:43
rick_h_amd should shut its doors :P00:43
snap-lI'm a fan of what works, and what's more open00:43
gamerchick02i've had decent luck with nVidia.00:43
rick_h_they've not been relevent in mobile for what? 5 or 6 years?00:43
gamerchick02please, no holy wars in the chat room.00:43
snap-lrick_h_: and Intel has produced a high-quality video card for how many years running?00:44
snap-lLet me do some back of the envelope math here, and... NEVER!00:44
rick_h_bah, I've had good luck and keep on buying all intel all the time00:44
rick_h_because linux + nvidia/ati has been a world of awesomesauce...except not :P00:44
gamerchick02i'm already in a mixed relationship. he like Fedora, i like Ubuntu. he has an iPhone, i have an Android.00:44
gamerchick02s/like/likes, dangit00:45
rick_h_sounds like he's got some splainin to do :P00:45
snap-lrick_h_: I'd ask how anti-aliased screens are, but you wouldn't know that with an Intel card. ;)00:45
gamerchick02rick_h_ he's a fan of what works. actually, so am i.00:45
rick_h_:)00:45
gamerchick02he started out on Red Hat. i started on Ubuntu.00:45
gamerchick02*le shrug*00:45
gamerchick02some people are confirming that kernel 3.4 fixes the Ivy Bridge chips. do we know an ETA for when it will be in the updates?00:47
gamerchick02even proposed would work.00:47
snap-lgamerchick02: Likely not in an LTS00:47
snap-lIt'll probably drop in 12.1000:47
gamerchick02oi00:47
gamerchick02Intel i5 3570K 3.40 GHz, 6MB cache00:47
gamerchick02that is my CPU00:48
gamerchick02MSI Z77MA-G4500:48
gamerchick02that is my motherboard.00:48
rick_h_yea, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3360M CPU @ 2.80GHz here00:48
gamerchick02i tricked out the CPU. highest you can go without going i700:48
gamerchick02at first i thought it was a heat issue because i turned my fans down to reduce noise00:49
gamerchick02so i turned the fans back up and that did... nothing.00:49
gamerchick02http://amysramblings.wordpress.com/2012/07/01/new-desktop/ if you want to read about the whole thing, there it is.00:49
gamerchick02i think i need to eat my words regarding: A. Apple, and B. not having issues with this desktop.00:50
gamerchick02though it's running fine right now00:50
gamerchick02snap-l, do you think it will hit backports or proposed?00:55
snap-lNot sure00:55
rick_h_well, what might happen is it hitting a PPA to use for a bit00:56
snap-lIf there's major problems with the 3.3 series that 3.4 fixes, it might happen00:56
rick_h_or jump on the 12.10 beta early :)00:56
gamerchick02rick_h_: i found this too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/99991000:57
gamerchick02rick_h_ i'm not sure about running the beta00:58
rick_h_gamerchick02: hmm, so that seems to imply that 3.2.0-27.42 is stable so that might come down the pipe01:01
gamerchick02yeah01:01
gamerchick02i think it's in proposed01:01
gamerchick02i can enable that and do the upgrade,then turn it off, right?01:01
rick_h_gamerchick02: will so honestly, I'd try to hold out a little bit and see if it gixes itself01:01
gamerchick02ok01:02
gamerchick02i will01:02
gamerchick02i've always got the air01:02
rick_h_it's a pita I know, trust me. but it seems to be centered aroud graphic heavy stuff, flash01:02
rick_h_according to these bugs you're linking01:02
gamerchick02ah ha.01:02
gamerchick02flash01:02
gamerchick02die flash die01:02
rick_h_well, I'm sure that sends the cpu/video into a tizzy01:02
gamerchick02yes01:03
gamerchick02well, all seems stable right now01:07
gamerchick02i'm going to suspend and pop some popcorn and watch TV01:08
gamerchick02it's 9 pm, and i'm tired01:08
gamerchick02i'll be on tomorrow after i drive up to Saginaw and after dinner. probably after 8 pm or so. see everyone then! night.01:08

snap-lWe'll buy you dinner14:39
jrwreni really hate driving in oakland county. after a 2hr drive to lake orion last saturday, i've decided to avoid oakland county as much as possible for the next year.14:40
snap-lWhat did we do now?14:40
jrwrenjust traffic.14:40
jrwrenWashtenaw is so traffic free we might as well be west texas.14:41
snap-lSays the person who lives near a stadium that becomes a large city during games.14:41
jrwren6 days a year for very few hrs of the day.14:41
jrwrenthe traffic is less than what oakland county gets every day of the week year around.14:41
snap-ljrwren: You need to balance out your carbon footprint14:41
snap-lcome to MUG14:41
jrwrenmaybe next year.14:42

brouschYou really don't have any at MUG?14:42
snap-lbrousch: I'm not aware of anyone14:43
snap-lI didn't pick one up14:43
brouschI didn't either. Not until I have a project to use it on14:43
PainBankI want one!  soon...14:48
PainBankanyone seen this: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Canonical-joins-GENIVI-creates-Ubuntu-IVI-Remix-1242314.html14:48
jrwreni can't wait to play with it :)14:48
PainBankI want my, I want my, I want my Ubuntu in my car....14:48
jrwrenthat is OLD :)14:49
PainBanksure. just found out about it a couple weeks ago... anyone have new info on it?14:49
jrwreninteresting to see "ubuntu" replacing meego14:49
PainBankbig C insider info?  :D14:50
PainBankhehe, right.14:50
PainBankwell, meego adoption was weak...14:50
jrwrennope, but they are only using ubuntu core.14:50
jrwrenprobably their own UI stack on top14:50
jrwrenhehe, or maybe boot to gecko14:50
PainBankI would expect so for the demo at least.14:51
PainBanknow that would be interesting, but I doubt it.14:51
snap-lWEll that was fun14:57
snap-lmachine panicked14:57
brouschIt saw the thermometer and freaked out15:02
snap-lNah, Chrome managed to die15:05
snap-lHAve never seen an app panick the CPU before15:06
snap-lhope it's not hardware issues.15:06
brouschYou get one of those fancy new ivy bridge machines like rick_h_ and gamerchick?15:07
snap-lno15:20

brouschbah, sorry15:22
jrwrendon't do it.15:38
jrwrenthat is garbage.15:38
brouschnot for me15:41
brouschbut why is it garbage?15:41
brouschmy friend is looking for a cheap, small computer like that to run one program15:41
brouschsupports osx or windows15:41
snap-lNext person that sends me something as a .doc file is getting it proofread and critiqued and sent back to them15:46
snap-lif you want me to edit it, send it as a .doc. If you want me to read it, send it as a .pdf15:47
snap-lbrousch: You like testing my patience, don't you?16:01
snap-lbrousch: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110113014537/uncyclopedia/images/a/a9/You're_Doing_It_Wrong.jpg16:04
snap-lbrousch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20cYO9lw86g16:05
jrwrena 2007 mac mini? for $265? You'd be better off buying a brand new $199 computer16:32
jrwreni'm very anti-macmini. IMO they are not good. old ones are worse of course, but even a brand new one, I would not want.16:32
brouschjrwren: It has to be a tiny computer.16:58
brouschsnap-l: :D16:58
brouschI haven't been able to find a new tiny computer for much less than $400, so $265 for a mac mini seems like a good deal17:00
jrwrenraspberry pi? :)17:03
jrwreninstalled zentyal... like the idea, hate the ads in the default package. I'm surprised debian packaged it.17:06
brouschTiny computer with windows or osx17:07
jrwrenhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119056&cm_sp=Cat_Barebone_%26%2347%3b_Mini_Computers-_-Best_Sellers-_-56-119-05617:09
jrwrenadd a DIMM and SSD and you are set.17:09
brouschbarebones ($155) + SSD ($50) + RAM ($15) + Windows ($100) = $320 without keyboard and mouse17:12
brouschAnd shipping17:13
brouschBut what is better? Foxcon netbook guts in a tiny case, or a used mac mini?17:14
jrwrenwait for windows8 and its only $50 :)17:14
jrwreni'm just mentioning how much i hated my mac mini17:14
jrwrenyou are free to make your own decisions.17:14
jrwrenmacmini comes with no KB or Mouse, so you have to buy those, adn PC ones will work, but the experience is terrible. so you pay the apple tax on KB and Mouse17:15
jrwrennow you are at +100 for KB&Mouse from apple.17:15
brouschWhat did you hate about it?17:15
brouschThis computer will basically be setup once and will sit there for years without updates, not on a network17:16
brouschIt will be for a proprietary eye exam software17:16
jrwrenmight be ok for that.17:17
jrwrenbe sure to get apple KB, PC KB on OSX is a nightmare.17:17
brouschRequirements: win95 or better, Mac OS9 or better17:17
jrwrenO_O17:17
jrwreni'm done.17:17
brouschI told him to get an old laptop, but he wants a tiny box17:18
jrwrenAFAIAC This is vintage boutique hobbyist category of toys.17:18
brouschAll it really does is put up pictures so the patient can read the letters17:18
brouschBut it needs a cool remote!17:19
brouschThe remote is a mini bluetooth keyboard. They are selling it for $65. I found it at many places for < $2017:20
brouschhttp://www.sharpva.com/order.html17:20
brouschAh well, I've given him the options17:23
brouschIt is a tiny thing he is using to distract himself from the important purchases17:24
brouschIn other news, ooooooh http://www.reghardware.com/2012/07/06/dell_seeks_linux_fans_to_test_ubuntu_ultrabook/17:27
