[00:05] <altg3k3> beep boop?
[00:06] <Unit193> Howdy.
[00:08] <altg3k3> how goes it?
[00:09] <Unit193> Just watching Chuck, and not dieing of heat.
[00:13] <altg3k3> haha. not dieing of heat is always good!
[00:15] <altg3k3> hey what (if any) laptop bag(s) do you guys have?
[00:17] <altg3k3> holy crap. I might get the HDMI cables I ordered already.
[00:17] <altg3k3> I'd be okay with that. xD
[00:19] <Unit193> It's not here with me right now, but it is nice.
[00:20] <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.
[00:24] <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
[00:28] <altg3k3> define:elcheapo
[00:30] <wrst> well i think it was a 15 buck deal off tiger direct they probably don't even make them anymore
[00:34] <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.
[00:35] <altg3k3> so wanted something more versatile
[00:37] <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.
[00:57] <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
[03:38] <altg3k3> hey binarymutant
[03:38] <binarymutant> hello
[13:18] <netritious> goood morning
[13:18] <netritious> setting up arch and have a question about the locale config step.
[13:19] <netritious> en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 or en_US ISO-8859-1 or both?
[13:21] <netritious> ah n/m found the answer
[14:06] <netritious> ping binarymutant, wrst
[14:46] <netritious> bbl
[14:55] <binarymutant> hello
[14:56] <binarymutant> late
[15:15] <wrst> netritious: pong
[15:15] <wrst> binarymutant: i appear to be late also :)
[15:16] <binarymutant> hey I got a raspberry pi coming :D
[15:28] <wrst> awesome binarymutant!
[15:28] <binarymutant> i know right
[15:28] <binarymutant> can't wait
[15:30] <wrst> off to do saturday chores binarymutant, see you later
[15:31] <binarymutant> have fun :P
[16:18] <RagnarokAngel> I freaking hate having a police force on campus.
[19:15] <cyberanger> RagnarokAngel: I love it myself, teach them about civil liberties ;-)
[21:37] <RagnarokAngel> cyberanger: except not. Private University with a joint security/police force. They don't have to respect any rights.
[23:08] <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.
[23:10] <wrst> netritious: oh noes
[23:11] <netritious> I've done this twice wrst: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Install_Scripts
[23:11] <wrst> wow what is that?
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <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
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <wrst> unless something has changed you pretty much just boot it up and it walks you through, pretty much like a freebsd install
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <netritious> The install goes fine. I just think the instructions are lacking.
[23:20] <netritious> Since it the install won't boot afterwards
[23:21] <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
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <wrst> here i go
[23:24] <wrst> oh yeah this is way different
[23:25] <netritious> i think I see the problem....wait before you bother wrst
[23:26] <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
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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
[23:54] <netritious> well I'm closer. definitely a grub issue
[23:54] <netritious> s/grub/grub2/
[23:55] <netritious> *grub configuration issue
[23:55] <netritious> going to go grab some din....bbl
