| blkperl | grr when is unity going to support 4 monitors... | 01:23 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | blkperl, it doesn't already? | 01:32 |
| tgm4883 | I thought I read somewhere it did | 01:32 |
| blkperl | well it might, but when I log in with four monitors it sits at a black screen | 01:33 |
| blkperl | and .xsession fills with angry compiz erros | 01:33 |
| tgm4883 | lol | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | when you install google chrome in 12.10, it tells you the package is of bad quality | 01:45 |
| blkperl | lol | 02:58 |
| c_smith | rofl | 03:40 |
| tgm4883 | zsyncing an ISO at 15000 kBps, nice | 14:08 |

| bkerensa | tgm4883: you see the ZDnet article about Goobuntu? | 17:43 |
| bkerensa | "Light Years Ahead of Fedora and OpenSuse" | 17:43 |
| c_smith | hehe.... | 17:47 |
| blkperl | plymouth-- gives no information about what its doing..... | 17:47 |
| c_smith | plymouyh-- does exactly what it's supposed to, press esc to see what is being done in the background. | 17:57 |
| blkperl | impatient sysadmin believes plymouth is hung and powercycles box. me-- | 18:02 |
| c_smith | well, the sysadmin could simply press esc to see what is going on. | 18:05 |
| c_smith | dunno if Plymouth could safely be removed. | 18:06 |
| nathwill | probably best to just remove "quiet" from the boot param | 18:09 |
| bkerensa | =0 | 18:10 |
| c_smith | yep | 18:17 |
| c_smith | still, not quite sure how it works, but my new laptop went to Eugene to portland last night. | 18:18 |
| c_smith | UPS has some weird routes. | 18:18 |
| nathwill | what'd you end up getting c_smith? | 18:21 |
| c_smith | let me get you a link. | 18:24 |
| c_smith | this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246323&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- | 18:25 |
| c_smith | and let me know if the link doesn't work. | 18:25 |
| nathwill | worked | 18:25 |
| c_smith | good. | 18:26 |
| nathwill | yay lenovo | 18:26 |
| c_smith | yep. | 18:26 |
| c_smith | took your advice into consideration when picking that. | 18:26 |
| c_smith | I believe it was you who gave the advice. | 18:26 |
| nathwill | i like lenovo, so it's likely | 18:27 |
| bkerensa | sorry about your luck c_smith ... Lenovo has a nice laptop on frys for $280 | 18:27 |
| bkerensa | :) | 18:27 |
| c_smith | yeah, true. | 18:27 |
| nathwill | i don't know about ideapad series | 18:27 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, thanks for bursting my bubble. >.> | 18:27 |
| nathwill | lol | 18:27 |
| c_smith | anyway, back to my music. | 18:28 |
| c_smith | oh, one thing: has a muxless gpu pair, which I've read isn't supported by X.org currently, but I also heard there's a simple fix to making it use one GPU instead of the other in this case. | 18:29 |
| c_smith | in this laptop's case, that solution would be installing the FGLRX driver. | 18:30 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Oh price dropped to $247 | 18:30 |
| bkerensa | http://www.frys.com/product/7250293 | 18:30 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:30 |
| c_smith | shoot. | 18:30 |
| c_smith | not quite the specs I wanted and found with the laptop I bought, though. | 18:31 |
| c_smith | one thing I looked for that the laptop I bought has is a dedicated GPU (even though it's paired with an integrated) | 18:32 |
| nathwill | oh man, google news cracks me up | 18:33 |
| c_smith | care to send me a link? | 18:34 |
| nathwill | news.google.com vs news.yahoo.com :P | 18:34 |
| c_smith | ah. | 18:35 |
| nathwill | but i'm biased ;) | 18:35 |
| c_smith | lol | 18:35 |
| nathwill | it's kind of cool that google exposes the settings a bit | 18:37 |
| tgm4883 | yay for asbestos abatement! | 18:42 |
| nathwill | tgm4883: always a good thing... | 18:49 |
| tgm4883 | yes it is, although better to just not have abestos | 18:50 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: you have asbestos at home? woah what a treat | 18:59 |
| tgm4883 | bkerensa, no, we have abestos in the datacentre | 19:00 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: even worse ;p | 19:18 |
| c_smith | and what even worse is on your clothes! | 19:23 |
| nathwill | our whole house was shingled in it | 19:35 |
| nathwill | and we had to get rid of it :( | 19:35 |
| nathwill | it was not a fun summer | 19:35 |
| sbeattie | asbestos isn't much of a problem if it isn't disintegrating. The problem is when dust from it gets airborn and can be breathed in. | 19:35 |
| * nathwill nods | 19:36 | |
| * sbeattie 's old house used to have asbestos floor tiles in its basement | 19:36 | |
| nathwill | hooks of doom | 19:36 |
| bkerensa | My elementary school and middle school had asbestos and lead paint | 20:17 |
| c_smith | now I flippin' hate UPS. | 20:38 |
| nathwill | lol | 20:39 |
| nathwill | just wait until they throw it on your roof | 20:39 |
| c_smith | freaking screwed me over twice already. | 20:39 |
| c_smith | yeah, at that point I'm gonna deck someone. | 20:39 |
| c_smith | fed up with them already. | 20:40 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: why mad at UPS? | 20:44 |
| bkerensa | I have to see them everyday | 20:45 |
| bkerensa | 5 packages this week | 20:45 |
| bkerensa | =/ | 20:45 |
| nathwill | bkerensa: you buddies with the driver yet? | 20:45 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: so not really... I actually think one of the two drivers who service my area is a douche | 20:46 |
| bkerensa | :) | 20:46 |
| bkerensa | he done some stealthy door tagging and I dont much like that | 20:46 |
| nathwill | hrm | 20:46 |
| bkerensa | stealth door tagging = When you have a door tag pre-written out... go and slap it on someones door and dont knock and attempt to deliver the package likely because you had a busy day and want to get home on time | 20:47 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, they A. changed the date of delivery to one that I may not be able to pick it up at, and B. have a policy where I can't change where it's delivered to before they first attempt to deliver it. | 20:48 |
| bkerensa | but now I have a VueZone setup on my carport so I can see them before they get to my front door | 20:48 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 20:48 |
| c_smith | you're lucky you CAN install that in your house. >.> | 20:48 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Was it UPS Ground? | 20:48 |
| c_smith | yep, 3 day. which now is more than that. | 20:48 |
| bkerensa | Yeah | 20:49 |
| bkerensa | UPS Ground has a Zero Service Level Guarantee | 20:49 |
| c_smith | which is freaking ridiculous to me, | 20:49 |
| bkerensa | not really.... UPS and FedEx legally do not have to even deliver to you | 20:49 |
| bkerensa | their contract says they can deliver to anyone on your street | 20:49 |
| bkerensa | ;p | 20:50 |
| c_smith | if you look at it that way, yeah. | 20:50 |
| tgm4883 | bkerensa, that seems a bit wrong | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | tgm4883: | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | http://consumerist.com/2012/08/fedex-driver-figures-out-im-home-during-the-day-tries-to-turn-me-into-human-drop-box.html | 20:50 |
| c_smith | but I don't see how it would cost anything to let the person receiving the package change the drop off to a UPS store. | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | not really its... in their shipping terms | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | wrong in the sense that it should not work that way? yes | 20:50 |
| bkerensa | Here we go | 20:55 |
| bkerensa | http://consumerist.com/2012/01/fedex-seems-to-think-any-front-door-will-do-for-package-delivery.html | 20:55 |
| bkerensa | "The FedEx customer service agent dutifully informed me that leaving the doorway of the correct house (with a name labeled mailbox) to walk over and deliver to the house next door instead was "within the terms of the service I had paid for," and let me know that in the future if I wanted things delivered to the right address, I should pay for signature receipt service." | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: you could tweet UPS... they are usually good about fixing things | 21:04 |
| c_smith | not that I'm in a calm enough state of mind to not chew them out instead of asking for help. >.> | 21:10 |
| === Relapr is now known as parmount | ||
| tgm4883 | so the state department apparently decided to keep the only copy of my birth certificate when they issued my passport :( | 23:15 |
