=== chrispluns is now known as binarymutant [02:24] I can't get smaller than 2Gb for my complete DE [02:24] :/ [02:25] binarymutant: i'm trying out the latest arch iso, its not so bad [02:26] I'm back on arch lol [02:26] that didn't take long [02:26] yeah [02:26] binarymutant: i love debian great for servers but debian testing isn't a true rolling release its just that testing and at times packages aren't complete/available etc etc [02:27] they install too much on their minimal iso too [02:27] but their point is a more "complete" solution i think [02:28] that's true [02:28] i don't think debian is the stuff for users like us on the desktop, now on the server that's a whole 'nother animal :) [02:28] I'd agree with that, they're very stable [02:28] a rolling ubuntu release would be the cat's meow probably more for us [02:28] but I was missing Arch :P [02:28] yeah i have considered others but I must say i do miss banging my head against the wall when something doesn't work correctly [02:29] yeah lol [02:29] i am trying the new installer in a vm going to see if i can get it to work ok there [02:29] what installer? [02:29] hmm good point [02:29] whatever you call it :) [02:29] the released a new iso today [02:30] yeah I saw the new one, comes with zsh [02:30] or yesterday one i think it is a little easier than the old one and has forced me to learn how to use fdisk since i'm doing it in a vm and really didn't want to fool with a gparted live disk first [02:30] fdisk isn't bad, neither is cfdisk [02:31] makes you a little more cautious if you don't want to format a partition though [02:31] <-- always crosses fingers [02:34] I always won't touch the partition that I don't want to get formatted, and just fstab it after the installation [02:43] well i got everything except grub figured out [02:46] you have to figure out grub? [02:47] like editing it at boot? or menu.1st [02:47] *.lst [02:50] binarymutant, I knew you'd be back lol [02:50] lol [02:51] I like how we're mostly arch dominate users in here [02:51] ikr [02:51] in an ubuntu channel [02:51] I think we should be more #linux-tn-us [02:51] lol [02:52] I was reading the above ^ I personally like gparted because I know how to use it, one benefit of archbang, or ubuntu [02:53] gparted rules [02:53] I tried archbang it was pretty cool [02:53] until I updated that is [02:53] that reminds me.. I really had to get down and dirty with grub last time I installed it, I have arch + pae, arch 32bit, and both recovery, winders and linux mint all setup by hand in there menu.lst [02:54] binarymutant, lol yeah you will run into the glib thing [02:54] and /var/run [02:54] couldn't get it to work [02:54] I don't think I ran into the /var/run problem, I don't recall it [02:55] I had the latest iso but yeah didn't work [02:55] had to use the normal arch iso [02:55] but archbang was super cool [02:57] yeah, only reason I even decided to go back to arch a few months ago was because it automatically supported my graphics tablet ootb [02:57] wasn't the only reason... but archbang made the decision easier [03:01] I can't believe how much space my DE uses, it's like I can't get it under 2Gb [03:02] o.O [03:02] dwm? [03:02] yeah [03:02] and a bunch of other suckless.org stuff [03:02] you mean your whole install? [03:02] yeah the whole thing [03:02] oh okay [03:03] I was about to say isn't dwm like 2mb tops? lol [03:03] 36k [03:03] pft, my install is like.. 5gbs? [03:03] but xorg is ~100mb, and webkit is another 100mb [03:04] ah I was going to say something like 600kb but I really had no idea [03:04] du -sch /usr/bin/openbox [03:04] it should be under 1mb [03:04] well you don't need the entirety of xorg, just the drivers you use, I'm just lazy and have all of xorg [03:04] I just got what I needed, it was still around 100mb [03:04] ah gotcha [03:05] would have been around 200mb if I got all [03:05] there is probably several cache folders I could clear though [03:06] dev tools were around 100mb... it was just like 100mb after 100mb all the way up to 2Gb [03:11] good thinking, I cleared the pacman cache and it dropped me under 2gb [03:12] my /usr/lib/xorg only takes up 70mbs [03:12] lol [03:12] I'm not sure if that is the entirety of xorg [03:13] 32mb here [03:13] so it probably is the entirety [03:15] are you using disk usage analyzer? [03:15] Baobab [03:16] its pretty good for scanning the whole system for large files / dirs [03:16] my fav is ncdu [03:17] never heard of it [03:17] never heard of yours either :P [03:17] haha [03:17] lol [03:17] I looked it up looks pretty good [03:18] yours is cool with the circle graph [03:18] that is one reason I do like it [03:20] google chrome is eating my ram [03:21] tell me about it, it can use 2.5gbs when I have like 40 tabs open [03:23] im at 700mb with just 2 tabs :/ [03:24] that's everything though [03:24] not just chrome [03:26] I think on first boot I use either 200 or 300mbs which isn't bad, I don't ever have just one tab up though so if I could guess it would probably be 500mbs [03:26] thats just way to much [03:29] I'm okay with that though because I have all the ram it can eat [03:30] not trying to show off or anything, but I wish I had a little bit more cpu power... [03:31] http://imgur.com/a/Veg5B [03:32] that's waay to much for me [03:33] your using more ram than I have available lol [03:33] lol [03:33] also four cpu's?? [03:34] I just don't like it when flash makes my cpu go near 40c, which isn't too often because html5 <3 [03:34] yeah 3ghz phenom II 4x [03:34] :O [03:34] my brother has the 2600k i7 [03:34] :| [03:34] image how jealous I am of that [03:34] lol [03:34] :O [03:35] he does video editing and rendering is amazing with the onboard hd graphics he has [03:36] which is why his computer was like $670 with shipping with no graphics card [03:36] oh [03:36] I'm on the other end of the digital divide lol :P [03:37] <- $0 [03:38] :< at least you have a computer, I can't tell you how long I've had crappy computers before this year [03:38] crapp computers run my setup real good [03:38] well my last computer I had like 6 years wasn't really crappy but not beast like this one.. [03:40] one day I'll have what you have lol :P [03:40] give me another 5 years [03:40] lol [03:41] http://www.dell.com/us/dfb/p/latitude-d630/pd is what I'm on [03:42] that's weird it doesn't say the cpu [03:44] that isn't that bad, when my old computer died I had to setup my laptop as a desktop... it was fun [03:44] surprisingly it worked better than my older desktop [03:45] yeah [03:45] laptop > desktop [03:45] I don't even know what I would do with all that power you have [03:45] I have the inspiron series that came with ubuntu default back when they had that going on [03:45] this 6 year old laptop does it all already [03:46] lol [03:46] I do heavy youtube surfing... but I can have 60 tabs open with my cpu at a nice 34c [03:46] thanks to html5 [03:47] I say flash killed my last computer by running hot and blowing a capacitor... [03:47] 60 tabs is way too much [03:47] never run flash while asleep [03:47] lol [03:47] I learned my lesson [03:49] 60 tabs of flash, I can believe tha [03:49] that* [03:50] actually it was sleeping with google call / video [03:50] hm [03:51] flash isn't that bad for me [03:51] ~30% cpu [03:51] I think it was the driver possibly for my camera [03:51] ooh [03:51] somehow my computer heated up [03:51] I'm glad it happened though... [03:52] made me learn more about computers while doing research [03:56] http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1042700/dell-laptop-explodes-japanese-conference [03:57] that isn't good [03:59] you know I rarely use a laptop on my lap.. usually on a stool or desk [03:59] your heated computer made me remember that [04:00] ah, yeah since then I monitor my temp like a hawk and notice when I *NEED* to kill something or give it a break [04:00] one reason I love the winter.. [04:06] wb [04:06] ah, yeah since then I monitor my temp like a hawk and notice when I *NEED* to kill something or give it a break [04:06] one reason I love the winter.. [04:06] I obsess over my cpu temp a little bit and always try to have good air flow in my room [04:12] stoopid wifi [04:27] :/ [04:37] Stupid network, just got killed for having too many connections, 3. [04:54] freenode allows three? [04:54] icq only allows 2 :| [04:55] Not freenode, but turns out server didn't respond to ping so one tried to reconnect. [04:55] Freenode allows more than 5. [04:55] ah [04:55] So annoying. [05:16] watching nasa livestream [05:16] Yep, just turned it on. [12:24] morning all [12:27] mornign jfenn2199 [12:28] how goes wrst [13:10] peek-a-boo! [13:12] howdy xTEMPLARx [13:15] how goes xTEMPLARx [13:22] oh and jfenn2199 all is well how are you? [13:34] heya wrst and jfenn [13:34] morning, all [13:34] so far so good in K-town [13:34] heya al [13:34] is it al [13:34] or aly [13:34] :D [13:34] it's alan, but you can say al :) [13:35] sorry to disappoint :) [13:37] that works for me [13:37] no disappointment at all, as I'm a married fella [13:38] I'm watching the coverage from the mars lander last night I don't think those nasa computers were using windows that they were showing but the video was grainy [13:44] yeah, I can imagine they would want to compress that before sending [13:44] it has a few miles to travel [13:45] oh.. you probably mean the video of them using their computers... ignore me [13:45] coffee has yet to kick in [13:56] did somebody say coffee? [14:14] yuck coffee... nooo [14:15] wha??? those words.... can they even be used in a sentence together [14:15] you mean you've never had yuck coffee? [14:15] i have [14:15] mcdonalds is a good example [14:15] imo [14:15] coffee makes me think of muddy water hot muddy water, in both look and taste [14:15] the coffee the boss makes here [14:15] well, its yuck [14:16] wrst: you haven't had good coffee yet then :D [14:16] yes.. yuck is simply one of the more popular flavors of coffee [14:16] it's better if it's not filtered through a dirty gym sock [14:24] I wouldn't say popular so much as common [14:33] good point [15:39] binarymutant: wb [15:40] ty ty [15:40] about to leave soon though [15:41] binarymutant: i got an arch install in a vm... only problem i never got grub right, i can reboot throught the live disk and chroot into my install i have a wee bit more learning it appears [15:41] wb elijah-mbp [15:44] hmm what's your menu.lst look like? [15:44] actually hold off on that for tonight, i gtg [15:44] later [15:44] its grub2 binarymutant i gots no menu.lst :) [15:44] later binarymutant [15:50] wrst: I used the syslinux boot option on my arch in-a-vm [15:50] it boots just fine [15:50] hmm ok i need to check that out xTEMPLARx [15:51] I tinkered with putting x and gnome on, but haven't gotten that functional just yet [15:51] keep in mind I used syslinux just because it was the only one I configured. no other reason than chance that I didn't attempt grub [15:51] xTEMPLARx: my problems was also with the docs, it give instructions on doing the install of a bootloader then after i did that it makes a note to be sure you are chrooted into the system :) [15:51] doh! [15:51] xTEMPLARx: getting x up and going with a desktop is super easy [15:52] i am just feeling my way around the new installer before i put it on a real system and pull my hair out in the process [15:56] aiee, my machine decided to shut itself down while i was outside on the phone. stupid mountain lion energy saver crap.... [16:03] ha ha elijah-mbp i must say that is one thing that severly ticks me off with my wife's mac no real non-hackish way to change a lot of those settigns [16:03] i like for my laptop to stay awake when i shut the lid since i'm likely just moving to a better spot on the couch [16:06] wrst: i wish one of the linuxes had better runtime support for OSX apps ;) [16:09] elijah-mbp: i know it will ever happen but since linux and osx are cousins you would think there woudl be better support with something like wine , yet windows apps run on linux and osx apps don't [16:09] *wont ever happen [16:09] yep. there've been things like maconlinux that kind of work but they can't keep up. [16:09] i'd love to be able to run some of the stuff from the mac app store on ubuntu. [16:10] i needed to kill an unresponsive safari on my wife's laptop this weekend i called up a terminal couldn't locate the process id quickly so just typed xkill for fun, and you know what... it worked :) [17:54] jfenn2199: Well hey! [18:22] =] === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [19:58] xTEMPLARx: this is what 3 days in a row? [20:34] wrst: no, this is abuse. [20:34] ha ha [20:34] =] [20:35] HELP! HELP! I'm being oppressed! [20:59] xTEMPLARx: i am so sorry [21:02] :D [21:07] * Unit193 hits xTEMPLARx in the head [21:07] No he isn't. [21:10] hey wrst, how are you today? [21:11] how is everyone else also [21:11] good chris4585, you? [21:12] same, I haven't really done much today though [21:16] nothing wrong with that if you can get away with it [21:19] eek its past time to go home! [21:19] off I go [21:20] enjoy your evening, folks [21:36] yeah :) [21:38] reading engadget, windows 8 wont allow you to boot into the old desktop, which I figured was going to happen. Is it me or does microsoft want to be the next apple? locking things down so the dumb user doesn't get choices... [22:21] anybody okay with bash in here? [22:49] I'm okay not the best [22:49] whats up binarymutant? [22:49] usually I need a refresher on some things [22:50] http://sprunge.us/XjLc [22:51] ./.music: line 11: #ARTIST: command not found [22:51] and idk why [22:52] I guess it should be #{ARTIST} or maybe that's to Ruby of me... anyways it'll say that the artist is not found [22:55] nevermind I'm just going to redirect all the output to /dev/null [22:56] hrm, yeah I don't know either, I'm not an expert and I don't want to setup mpc lol [22:56] mpd is sweet [22:56] redirecting output to /dev/null made it all go away [22:56] nice [22:57] hrm, there was an ncurses media player I liked but can't remember the name.. [22:57] cmus I think [22:57] yeah [22:57] cmus is cool too, but I <3 mpd too much [22:58] I think I used cmus or the other console music player before finding mpd [22:59] I don't like to setup anything that has to 'connect' like mpc, so its just something I'll never experience [22:59] ah yeah [22:59] cmus was great, it just took a little while to get used to the keyboard shortcuts [22:59] for a while I had my laptop setup with inx [22:59] I'm always closing out Xorg though so I get to listen to music even if I close my play [22:59] player* [23:00] gotcha [23:00] so you can have gui frontend and console backend? [23:00] or do you even use a gui frontend? [23:01] you can, I just use mpc for scripts and ncmpcpp for ui [23:01] I'm sure its pretty awesome if I gave it a try, I'm just too lazy and love quodlibet too much [23:01] cool [23:01] but dwm isn't working with my keyboard shortcuts + music.sh script right now :/ and I can't figure out why [23:02] speaking of quodlibet, I just got an update for it o.o [23:02] that blows :/ [23:02] lol I'm afraid to update arch now :P [23:02] lol [23:03] I'm a little skeptical, but quodlibet on arch (not tested on anything else lately) can use my keyboard media keys while before it couldn't.. [23:04] ah I've got to set up those stoopid media keys too [23:04] grah [23:04] so it was a lovely surprise to see a feature that automatically worked without realizing it [23:05] you didn't have to figure out the XF86KEYBLAH keys? [23:07] nope [23:07] that's awesome [23:08] yeah, totem does that also and has for a long time, but I guess there is a framework that somehow does that automatically and I'm assuming quodlibet finally updated after forever [23:08] I don't think they change but I'm not sure [23:09] I think it's always like XF86KEYVOLUP or something [23:09] that looks foreign to me lol [23:11] omg I'm an idiot: I had to link that script to /usr/local/bin for it to work :/ [23:12] I was freaking [23:12] o.o [23:12] usually I put #!/bin/bash [23:13] yeah but it won't run unless it's in your path [23:13] ah [23:13] anyways those key codes are like this (just looked it up) XF86AudioLowerVolume [23:13] I was pretty close [23:14] ah [23:14] using dwm and stuff have made me memorize xorg stuff like that lol [23:15] lol [23:15] I know what I know until I run into a road block and have to figure it out [23:15] lol yeah [23:15] then it's off to google [23:15] I guess I'm kind of a lazy person, but I have arch which conflicts LOL [23:16] Arch can get real lazy - after setting everything up [23:17] yep [23:17] lol [23:17] once it is perfect, there is nothing else to do besides use it and update [23:17] omg I'm so happy to have all my key combos back [23:17] yeah [23:18] sudo pacman -Syu\n there is nothing to do [23:18] ^ lazy [23:18] I always run -Syyu [23:19] what does the n flag do? [23:19] \n is newline [23:19] ah [23:19] looks like this: [23:19] pacman -Syu [23:19] there is nothing to do [23:19] yep, when pacman tells me there is nothing to do, you know you're bored.... [23:19] lol [23:19] so true [23:36] binarymutant: quesion: did you install grub2 when you reinstalled arch? [23:39] idk I don't pay attention to the bootloader :/ [23:40] must be grub1 bc I have menu.lst [23:40] yeah grub1 [23:40] I want to go back to lilo :D [23:40] ok actually i think i may know what i did now that i think about it because i just formatted one partition and don't think i left anything for the MBR [23:40] grub1 is like default unless you select lilo [23:40] grub 2 is now default [23:40] is it? [23:40] o_O [23:40] grub-legacy is now in the aur [23:40] wth [23:41] weird [23:41] they don't upgrade it for you through pacman but on new installs it is grub-bios etc etc [23:41] well I guess not, it is the natural progression [23:41] I want lilo... [23:41] well yeah that makes sense, but I actually don't want to upgrade [23:41] but i think that was it if its got no place to install... well i can't expect it to work [23:41] grub2 confuses the hell out of me [23:41] chris4585:arch's grub 2 actually works as its intended as opposed to ubuntu's early on so its actually not so bad [23:42] I thought the mbr was outside of the partitions... [23:42] I installed it to sda not sda1 or whatnot [23:42] hmm i guess so binarymutant i really have never manually set up everything before so i'm stupid on this one :) [23:42] the mbr is where the beginning is I thought [23:42] like i said its good learning [23:43] usually I just install to mbr and forget about it :) [23:43] I really have no idea [23:43] the rest of teh install is actually "simpler" than the aif [23:44] I kind of like how ubuntu autodetects everything, but on arch I like the control [23:45] * wrst is a control freak [23:45] I think you can install it to a partition though [23:46] but it's like a bad uh ethic? [23:46] yeah [23:46] mbr is the best choice [23:46] I always do it [23:46] my mind just went blank [23:46] yeah binarymutant i need to figure out where the mbr is [23:46] wrst: reinstall it? [23:46] when it comes to vm's and what not but assumed that installing it to sda would do it [23:47] yeah [23:47] I wonder if I can install lilo... [23:47] i will read some more the documentation sucks so far on the new installer [23:49] uh nevermind about lilo... no updates since early 2011 [23:49] boot loaders shouldn't be so complicated :) [23:50] lol [23:50] prolly the most complicated apps right after the kernel i bet [23:51] I don't even touch mine [23:51] -kinda like I don't touch the kernel lol [23:56] wow kpcli is awesome, I might dump keepassx for it [23:57] needs tab completion though
