| altg3k3 | beep boop? | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Howdy. | 00:06 |
| altg3k3 | how goes it? | 00:08 |
| Unit193 | Just watching Chuck, and not dieing of heat. | 00:09 |
| altg3k3 | haha. not dieing of heat is always good! | 00:13 |
| altg3k3 | hey what (if any) laptop bag(s) do you guys have? | 00:15 |
| altg3k3 | holy crap. I might get the HDMI cables I ordered already. | 00:17 |
| altg3k3 | I'd be okay with that. xD | 00:17 |
| Unit193 | It's not here with me right now, but it is nice. | 00:19 |
| altg3k3 | I'm looking at: http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Checkpoint-Friendly-15-6-Traveler-Laptop/dp/B00020BJA8/ref=sr_1_52?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1343433805&sr=1-52 | 00:20 |
| altg3k3 | not JUST for the checkpoint friendly bit... but is a nice addition... esp since work will be sending me places. | 00:20 |
| wrst | altg3k3: hey i have an elcheapo targus of some sort but it gets the job done had it over the course of two laptops | 00:24 |
| altg3k3 | define:elcheapo | 00:28 |
| wrst | well i think it was a 15 buck deal off tiger direct they probably don't even make them anymore | 00:30 |
| altg3k3 | yea. | 00:34 |
| altg3k3 | this is like $40 but has enough space for tools, and a spot for files/etc. | 00:34 |
| altg3k3 | With my new position I'll hopefully end up traveling to client sites... possibly including some places as far as 3.5+ hrs and travel time for training. | 00:34 |
| altg3k3 | so wanted something more versatile | 00:35 |
| wrst | oh yeah you don't want what i have it just holds the laptop and a cord :) | 00:37 |
| altg3k3 | that would be LOVELY but given the other crap I get to carry. | 00:37 |
| altg3k3 | god my work is so weird. | 00:57 |
| altg3k3 | we do managed services, right? I'm our most senior systems analyst (glorified name we use for helpdesk techs). I'm also still technically an intern. | 00:57 |
| altg3k3 | they're moving me to template development for the software we also resell.. our senior sysadmin has been on vacation, and our jr sysadmin is useless. | 00:57 |
| altg3k3 | so I was working 3 depts for the past week | 00:57 |
| altg3k3 | hey binarymutant | 03:38 |
| binarymutant | hello | 03:38 |
| netritious | goood morning | 13:18 |
| netritious | setting up arch and have a question about the locale config step. | 13:18 |
| netritious | en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 or en_US ISO-8859-1 or both? | 13:19 |
| netritious | ah n/m found the answer | 13:21 |
| netritious | ping binarymutant, wrst | 14:06 |
| netritious | bbl | 14:46 |
| binarymutant | hello | 14:55 |
| binarymutant | late | 14:56 |

| RagnarokAngel | I freaking hate having a police force on campus. | 16:18 |
| cyberanger | RagnarokAngel: I love it myself, teach them about civil liberties ;-) | 19:15 |
| RagnarokAngel | cyberanger: except not. Private University with a joint security/police force. They don't have to respect any rights. | 21:37 |
| netritious | omg arch makes me feel like an idiot. I don't get it. Going to try and install in KVM one more time and if no go then screw it lol. | 23:08 |
| wrst | netritious: oh noes | 23:10 |
| netritious | I've done this twice wrst: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Install_Scripts | 23:11 |
| wrst | wow what is that? | 23:11 |
| netritious | and when I reboot the console just says "Booting harddrive...." then 100% cpu usage and no booting | 23:12 |
| netritious | wrst: supposedly the way to install arch now? idk, complete arch noob here | 23:12 |
| netritious | how do you install wrst? | 23:12 |
| wrst | nooo i wouldn't | 23:12 |
| netritious | rather, what guide did you use? are you using a different install media? | 23:13 |
| wrst | netritious: i would start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide | 23:13 |
| wrst | i haven't used the new media however | 23:13 |
| wrst | netritious: i'm downliding the netinstall iso from here http://archlinux.supsec.org/iso/2012.07.15/ | 23:15 |
| netritious | that's what I'm using atm | 23:15 |
| wrst | looks like ther is no more i386 or 64 bit seperate isos anymore | 23:15 |
| wrst | unless something has changed you pretty much just boot it up and it walks you through, pretty much like a freebsd install | 23:16 |
| netritious | not with the new install media | 23:19 |
| netritious | at least not for me | 23:19 |
| wrst | netritious: i would suggest you prepare your partitions before hand if you aren't going to use the entire disk | 23:19 |
| wrst | oh noes netritious i will check it out | 23:19 |
| netritious | I did | 23:19 |
| netritious | The install goes fine. I just think the instructions are lacking. | 23:20 |
| netritious | Since it the install won't boot afterwards | 23:20 |
| wrst | those instructions you had i'm just not for sure what they were even for really | 23:21 |
| netritious | installing with the new media | 23:21 |
| netritious | that's what they are for...linked from the home page | 23:21 |
| wrst | ahh hmm well i'm going to give it a go in vbox | 23:21 |
| netritious | kk | 23:21 |
| wrst | ok i haven't really explored the new media that sounds like some crap really | 23:21 |
| wrst | but they have made some things easier so i think they reason they have to make something hard to make up for it | 23:22 |
| netritious | I'm /trying/ to give it a go, but I feel like I am trying linux and it's 1995! lol | 23:22 |
| wrst | i used some install media from years ago on my laptop recently but the net install pulled it all in | 23:22 |
| wrst | netritious: there is really no handholding with arch and when things change it takes the docs a few weeks to catch up | 23:22 |
| wrst | but if you can't do it i'm thinking not too many will be able to! | 23:23 |
| netritious | I don't see any other links for any other install media? Am I missing something? | 23:23 |
| netritious | yeah, I mean, I don't know /everything/ but I'm no noob | 23:23 |
| wrst | here i go | 23:24 |
| wrst | oh yeah this is way different | 23:24 |
| netritious | i think I see the problem....wait before you bother wrst | 23:25 |
| wrst | yeah i'm about to have to leave, but i'm certainly going to practice before i try this netritious, i liked the menu system! | 23:26 |
| netritious | kk, cya wrst. I'll either figure it out or I won't :) | 23:26 |
| netritious | will keep you posted | 23:26 |
| wrst | haha yeah this looks like a learning experience i will check in with you tonight late or tomorrow and we can compare notes, maybe we should just use gentoo??? | 23:27 |
| netritious | lol maybe | 23:27 |
| wrst | looks like an internet connection is required now also... hmm | 23:28 |
| wrst | well gotta go, good luck! | 23:28 |
| netritious | thanks! cya wrst | 23:28 |
| netritious | well I'm closer. definitely a grub issue | 23:54 |
| netritious | s/grub/grub2/ | 23:54 |
| netritious | *grub configuration issue | 23:55 |
| netritious | going to go grab some din....bbl | 23:55 |
