[03:42] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: do you have grub visible at all during boot on your ultralap? also, which kernel version was installed with yours?
[03:43] <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
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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 :)
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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?
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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 :(
[03:51] <ajmitch> hopefully they'll sort ouf the nvidia driver problems, but I'm not optimistic
[03:53] <ajmitch> thumper: I think you need to bring your new laptop along tonight to show it off
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <ajmitch> with fullscreen & multi-monitor?
[04:14] <thumper> yeah
[19:55] <ajmitch> morning
[19:55] <mwhudson> morning
[19:58] <lifeless> o/
[19:59] <ibeardslee> morning
[21:25] <chilts> morning
[21:42] <Atamira> morning
[22:14] <ojwb> any recommendations for an NZ insurance broker to try for house insurance?
[22:20]  * ibeardslee uses AA
[22:20] <ibeardslee> house/contents/car
[22:28] <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
[22:40] <hads> No experience with brokers, I think most people go direct.
