| ajmitch | ibeardslee: do you have grub visible at all during boot on your ultralap? also, which kernel version was installed with yours? | 03:42 |
|---|---|---|
| ibeardslee | it came with a 3.3 installed from a PPA | 03:43 |
| ibeardslee | I removed that and went to the default Precise kernel | 03:43 |
| ibeardslee | no I don't see the grub menu | 03:43 |
| * ajmitch has 3.3.6 | 03:43 | |
| ajmitch | tempted to go to the quantal backported kernel+X stack | 03:44 |
| ibeardslee | prob from the PPA (assuming you are running the default install from ZaReason) | 03:44 |
| ajmitch | yes, some interesting PPA | 03:44 |
| ibeardslee | when mine arrives I'll go straight to Quantal (at whatever state it is in) | 03:45 |
| ajmitch | I'd trust the backported quantal kernel a bit more, and can get a bit more support with that :) | 03:45 |
| ajmitch | though I've heard thumper having a few problems with intel graphics on quantal | 03:46 |
| ibeardslee | I'd want to thrash it and help do what I can to get it right | 03:46 |
| ajmitch | right, I've got my desktop on quantal now | 03:47 |
| ajmitch | have only had the laptop a couple of day so far though :) | 03:47 |
| thumper | 'sup? | 03:47 |
| ajmitch | thumper: still having those intel graphics issues? | 03:48 |
| thumper | not tried rebooting my old laptop for a while | 03:48 |
| ajmitch | just debating whether to upgrade to quantal on new laptop | 03:48 |
| thumper | not since the dist-upgrade this morning | 03:48 |
| thumper | ajmitch: if it is modern intel graphics, you probably wont have a problem | 03:49 |
| thumper | mine is gm45 | 03:49 |
| thumper | *probably* | 03:49 |
| ajmitch | ivy bridge, so hd4000 | 03:49 |
| thumper | I've kept mine on precise so far | 03:49 |
| thumper | will run a quantal vm | 03:49 |
| ajmitch | what does your new monster have? | 03:49 |
| thumper | once I figure all that out | 03:49 |
| thumper | ivy bridge | 03:49 |
| thumper | I stuck with intel graphics | 03:50 |
| thumper | so I didn't need a massive power brick | 03:50 |
| thumper | like thomi's | 03:50 |
| thumper | and I don't play games | 03:50 |
| thumper | so don't need massive power there | 03:50 |
| thomi | :-/ | 03:50 |
| * ajmitch has nvidia graphics in new desktop, recent drivers still have a few issues with X freezing for several seconds at a time, or just locking up altogether :( | 03:50 | |
| ajmitch | hopefully they'll sort ouf the nvidia driver problems, but I'm not optimistic | 03:51 |
| ajmitch | thumper: I think you need to bring your new laptop along tonight to show it off | 03:53 |
| thumper | hmm... nah | 03:54 |
| thumper | :) | 03:54 |
| thumper | although did install the presenter console for open office | 03:54 |
| thumper | tried to work out what the annoying bugs were that I kept seeing at the conference | 03:54 |
| ajmitch | with fullscreen & multi-monitor? | 03:55 |
| thumper | yeah | 04:14 |
| ajmitch | morning | 19:55 |
| mwhudson | morning | 19:55 |
| lifeless | o/ | 19:58 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 19:59 |
| chilts | morning | 21:25 |
| Atamira | morning | 21:42 |
| ojwb | any recommendations for an NZ insurance broker to try for house insurance? | 22:14 |
| * ibeardslee uses AA | 22:20 | |
| ibeardslee | house/contents/car | 22:20 |
| ojwb | not tried them yet, but the quote we got from AMI was daft. Half the house is pre-1920s which is probably unusual, so I wondered if a broker was worth a try | 22:28 |
| hads | No experience with brokers, I think most people go direct. | 22:40 |
