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