chris4585last time I upgraded a miracle happened and recovered my encrypted /home while before I couldn't access it01:12
wrstnetritious: is it working? :)02:35
netritiousnot as well as the first upgrade, but not to bad that I can tell yet.02:35
netritiousalthough I did have to fsck an lvm managed partition that's 1TB :/02:36
netritiousafter the 12.04 upgrade02:36
netritiousnot blaming that on the upgrade...could have been anything I guess.02:37
netritiousthe drives aren't exactly new anymore wrst02:38
wrsthmm but it is working?02:38
netritiousabout to find out02:39
wrsthope so :)02:40
wrst8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04 in one day is asking a lot :)02:40
wrstthat's four years worth!02:40
netritiousI think I see what happened. For some reason SEC_TYPE="ext2" was assigned to the /dev/vg/lv02:42
netritiousthat doesn't seem right to me02:43
wrstLVM confuses me02:45
netritiouswell I fsck'ed it because ubuntu kept telling me it was going to after reboot, but never really seemed to do the check02:46
netritiousnow it's complaining about something else :/02:48
netritiousbut everythign seems to be working02:49
netritious*everything02:49
wrstsounds like being married everything can be fine yet the significant other complains :)02:49

binarymutant wooo new laptop04:51
chris4585binarymutant, whoo~04:54
binarymutantwhoo04:55
chris4585binarymutant, retired your old one?04:55
binarymutantyep, no more nvidia bugs04:56
binarymutantthis is what I have now http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06b/321957-321957-64295-3740645-4307559-4097189-4097193-4307958.html?dnr=104:56
chris4585nice, but I don't think I've heard of that chipset before04:58
binarymutanti5?04:58
chris4585nvidia04:59
chris4585NVIDIA Quadro FX 380M graphics with 512 MB gDDR3 dedicated video memory04:59
chris4585I'm not familiar with that series04:59
binarymutantoh I had a quadro 135m in the previous laptop04:59
binarymutantthis ones nice, and no bugs with the nvidia driver05:00
chris4585ah, good, my ancient mobo had an 6150s nvidia, my laptop 8600 gt? my old pooped video card was a nvidia 220 gt... this mobo has radeon 4250 I think05:01
chris4585lol05:01
chris4585I like nvidia overall, but radeon's drivers aren't that bad05:01
binarymutantyeah nvidia tends to drop cards. idk if ati does though05:01
binarymutantchris4585: are you still on arch?05:01
chris4585yeah05:01
binarymutantdid you update today? The latest kernel didn't work for me :/05:02
chris4585I did update the kernel but I don't ever boot the normal kernels, I can if you'd like05:03
binarymutantnah that's alright05:03
binarymutantI'm sure it'll get fixed05:03
binarymutantI'm on 3.4.9 right now05:03
chris4585/exec -o uname -a05:04
chris4585er05:04
chris4585Linux archbang 3.4.4-3-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 14 22:25:24 EDT 2012 i686 GNU/Linux05:04
chris4585I'm a little outdated but I don't really need to use the latest05:04
binarymutantah ok05:05
chris4585building a kernel takes like forever05:06
chris4585lol05:06
binarymutantyou compile your own?05:06
binarymutantwow05:06
chris4585well no, aur does05:06
binarymutantsame thing05:06
chris4585but it does all the compiling and it takes forever05:06
binarymutantI bet, I wouldn't do it05:06
chris4585lol, I have to for pae :(05:07
binarymutantpae is for more than 8gb right?05:07
chris4585more than 4gbs05:07
binarymutanthmm I wonder if I need to do pae now..05:07
chris4585how much ram do you have?05:08
binarymutantidk, and I'm ashamed to admit it but idk how to find out..05:08
chris4585ubuntu has the pae kernel already built as a binary package? and auto detects if you need the pae kernel and does it with no input so that is nice05:09
binarymutantlooks like 3gb05:09
chris4585well top or htop could tell you?05:09
binarymutantyeah05:09
binarymutantI just realized that05:09
binarymutant3gb seems an odd number..05:10
chris4585yeah, a little, I like even numbers05:10
binarymutantah maybe I can add the ram from the previous laptop05:11
chris4585it looks like a nice little laptop, slightly better than mine, but mine is like 5 years old now05:11
chris4585I would rather have a i5 than my centrino...05:12
chris4585yeah thats way better than mine lol05:12
chris4585mine gets way too hot when watching flash05:12
binarymutantman ddr305:12
binarymutantchris4585: yeah I had to buy one of those laptop fans05:13
binarymutantI think it was less than 15 at walmart05:13
chris4585if I had to use mine more like a stationary desktop I definitely would too05:13
chris4585ah05:13
binarymutantcan I put a ddr2 stick in a ddr3 slot?05:14
binarymutantnvm, it's a no05:15
chris4585I don't think so, but ddr3 is cheap05:15
binarymutantcheap like free?05:15
chris4585I think for an 8gb kit it was like $30 - $40 depending05:15
chris4585lol05:16
chris458516gb kits are like $70 - $8005:16
binarymutantthat's not that bad05:16
chris4585that is for desktop though I'm not sure about laptop ram05:16
chris4585yeah ram was surprisingly cheap05:16
binarymutantnewegg puts laptop ram right around 50$ ... idk maybe I can find some ddr3 somewhere05:17
binarymutantnot like I need it, 3Gb is awesome right now05:17
chris4585lol yeah05:18
chris4585I don't ever get close to 4gbs on linux, only if I have some serious program like gimp running with a file resolution of like 5,000x5,000 and several layers05:19
chris4585thats with like 80 tabs open in chromium, I only ever use like 2.5gbs or near 3gbs which is about 35% of ram05:20
binarymutant5kx5k holy crap05:20
binarymutantjeeze you push yours to the limit05:20
chris45855kx5k for like vectoring or something05:20
chris4585vector art is beautiful...05:20
binarymutantlike svg?05:21
chris4585yeah05:21
chris4585I haven't done that in a while05:22
binarymutanthave you used gimp2.8/05:22
binarymutant?05:22
binarymutantit's freaking awesome. 1 window :D05:23
chris4585yeah, its alright, I like the nice additions beside the single window, because I kind of like moving the smaller windows while I do work some, so the multiple windows don't bother me05:24
binarymutantplus your on openbox05:25
binarymutantman pre2.8 gimp was horrible on tiling window managers05:25
chris4585what do you mean?05:25
chris4585openbox = non tiling?05:25
chris4585gotcha05:25
binarymutantyeah openbox is a floating05:25
binarymutantehwm or whatever it's called05:25
chris4585I couldn't imagine using it on tiling05:25
binarymutantewhm*05:26
binarymutantit was unbearable, 2.8 rocks though05:26
chris4585yeah :)05:27
binarymutantI think you can make it multiple windows still05:28
chris4585yeah, you can05:28
chris4585which is awesome, I love gimp05:28
binarymutantyeah, it's a must have05:29
chris4585yeah, I honestly have issues using other programs because I'm so used to gimp, photoshop I still don't know how to do half the things I know I can do in gimp05:30
chris4585paint.net is a good windows alternative though05:30
binarymutantnever heard of it :/05:31
chris4585http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/freesoftware/ig/Free-Graphics-Software/Paint-NET.htm05:32
chris4585its pretty good, the filters and effects are better than default gimp I think05:33
binarymutanthm, idk I'll stick with gimp05:33
chris4585well, they both have their good points I suppose05:33
binarymutantcan paint.net use photoshop brushes and gradients and stuff/05:33
chris4585possibly, I'm not sure it can import psn/psd files and export them05:34
binarymutanthm, if I'm ever on windows again I'll try it out05:36
netritiousnice upgrade binarymutant :)05:37
binarymutantyeah man, it's waay faster05:37
netritiousmight want to check out that you aren't using triple-channel memory before upgrading.05:37
binarymutantwhat's that?05:38
binarymutantand how?05:38
netritiousmakes ram faster05:38
netritiousmore bandwidth05:38
netritiouslook at the hardware specs05:38
binarymutantjust says 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM05:38
netritiousit shoudl tell you. I mean, it could be that you have 1x 1GB chip and 1x 2GB chip05:39
binarymutantmaybe, I haven't opened up that part yet05:39
binarymutantI've never heard of a 3gb stick so prolly05:39
netritiouseasiest way to find out is pop off the memory access panel on the laptop05:39
binarymutant:D  I know how to check it05:40
netritious:D05:40
binarymutantthe screwdriver is in the other room and I'm being lazy, plus it's 2am here05:40
netritiouslol05:41
netritiousnothing wrong with that05:41
netritiousjust upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04 on a 12 year old (BIOS date says 2000) server05:41
binarymutantwhoa05:41
binarymutantstill good/05:41
binarymutant?05:41
netritiousbeen running 8.04 on it for a few years now05:41
netritiouseverything seems fine05:41
binarymutantpretty cool05:42
binarymutantno Xorg right?05:42
netritioushad a few hiccups but nothing serious05:42
netritiousnope05:42
binarymutantyeah it should be good forever05:42
chris4585nice netritious05:43
netritiousubuntu did all the work. I just had the guts chris4585 XD05:43
binarymutantI can't even think of anything ubuntu could do on Server Edition to bump up system requirements...05:43
netritiousi had plenty of contingencies if things went wrong. it was in the works to retire the system this year, or early next year05:44
binarymutantyou got another one lined up or something?05:45
netritiousyeah, well for the disks anyway.05:45
netritious4x 1TB WD Green drives05:45
binarymutant!05:45
binarymutantI need that05:46
netritiousthe system drive is IDE 160GB but only b/c the server wouldn't work at all without an IDE drive05:46
binarymutantyeah I was just wondering when sata came out05:46
netritiousancient hardware in this thing binarymutant lol...05:46
netritiouschris4585 and I were chatting about it earlier today05:46
binarymutantwhere do you guys go for cheap hardware? like hdd05:47
netritiousbinarymutant: I haven't bought any drives in over a year, but typically newegg05:50
binarymutantnvm, 1tb is still around 100$ :(05:50
netritiousalthough lately they seem way overpriced05:50
binarymutantby the time I get a Tb everyone will be onto Pb05:50
netritiousyeah if my drives hold out then I will be waiting until next year when prices are expected to go back to normal05:50
netritiousnah....if so only in the cloud binarymutant05:51
netritiousgoing to catch some z's...later05:51
binarymutantnight05:52
chris4585binarymutant, there is tigerdirect and ncix, I also like frozencpu06:24
binarymutantchris4585: thanks, I'll have to hold out, hdds are too expensive06:24
chris4585besides newegg, sometimes newegg isn't the cheapest06:24
chris4585it seems everyone in my house need hard drives, I need one for my tv comp, my parents need one for a upgrade, my brother needs one for more ps3 space, my friend needs one for his xbox lol06:26
binarymutantlols06:26
chris4585but some things can be switched up if I could just upgrade my parents hdd for our other new comp I could get extra space on my tv comp06:27
binarymutantyeah thats what I do06:27
chris4585its kind of funny, one computer gets and upgrade and it causes a cascading affect06:29
binarymutantyeah06:29
binarymutantthe hand me down line06:29
chris4585I really want to upgrade my tv comp to a newer slimmer case but I'm saving up for a tv instead :< and $50 for a slimmer case is almost ridiculous06:31
chris4585but the thing I hate is usually you have to buy a slimmer psu with the case too :/06:31
binarymutantraspberry pi06:32
binarymutantcourse they take 10 freaking weeks to get delivered06:34
chris4585lol06:34

wrstUnit193: i welcome back ChanServ more than i care to admit to!19:44
netritiousUnit193: that's because wrst loves ChanServ but is afraid to admit it.19:47
netritiousi think it's robophobia but not certain19:48
Unit193His wife wouldn't be happy to learn this...19:48
netritiouswrst should give us channel ops Unit193 so we don't tell19:51
Unit193I'm good with that.19:52
