| plod | uhoh | 21:07 |
| plod | nothing too bad i hoped | 21:07 |
| brobostigon | plod: just boot failiure, made some confgi file changes, and it is now booting, and mouse and keyboard work, but things like top etc, dont work properly. | 21:08 |
| plod | :/ | 21:09 |
| plod | not good | 21:09 |
| brobostigon | agreed. yes. but i fixed it. | 21:09 |
| brobostigon | partially. | 21:09 |
| plod | well thats always good | 21:09 |
| plod | but fully is always better | 21:09 |
| plod | been noticing my vms failing to boot recently but virtual power cycle fixing | 21:09 |
| brobostigon | yes, i agree. | 21:10 |
| brobostigon | hmm. | 21:10 |
| plod | but not debian | 21:12 |
| plod | running that on work desktop and coding vm here | 21:12 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 21:14 |
| plod | ubuntu in my vm cluster | 21:18 |
| plod | really loving some of their server stuff | 21:19 |
| plod | that and ansible | 21:19 |
| brobostigon | plod: ah, not used ubuntu as a server, i have only used debian. | 21:24 |
| plod | well I hadn't | 21:24 |
| plod | but then cam | 21:24 |
| plod | came across vmbuilder | 21:24 |
| plod | and I am hooked | 21:24 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 21:24 |
| plod | mostly used centos rhe up untill tha tpont | 21:24 |
| brobostigon | i had tried redhat as desktop, and broke it failiry quickly last time. huge package problems. only one, i havent had problem with was debian stable. i use debian sid/unstable on my desktop, but such problems are expected there. | 21:26 |
| plod | wheezy on work desktop | 21:26 |
| plod | still using windows on this laptop at home but use virtualbox wheezy if i need to do any work | 21:27 |
| plod | and tbh putty to a shell for heavy lifting | 21:27 |
| brobostigon | plod: in source.list, i specify stable/unstable etc, not the codename. i am just used to doing that. | 21:27 |
| plod | hehe | 21:28 |
| brobostigon | sources.list* | 21:28 |
| plod | I am wondering about going back to ubuntu on the desktop | 21:29 |
| plod | but really am not a fan of unity | 21:29 |
| plod | preffer gnome 2.0 | 21:30 |
| brobostigon | plod: there is now a ubuntu gnome remix. | 21:30 |
| plod | entrestente | 21:30 |
| plod | not gnome shell | 21:30 |
| brobostigon | plod: well, gnome2 is no longer maintained, and became unmaintainable, eventually. | 21:30 |
| plod | :( | 21:31 |
| brobostigon | plod: i use gnome3 and gnome-shell from sid and experimental, and compile some parts myself, it is very good now, compared to previous versions, and has improved by billions of miles. | 21:32 |
| plod | well i liked it was more my pcs werent good enough to run it | 21:38 |
| plod | though home pc and this one would prob be okay | 21:38 |
| brobostigon | plod: you just need opengl, and accelerated graphics support. even my eeepc 900 can run it, and that is most basic. | 21:39 |
| plod | maybe ill give it a whirl | 22:06 |
| brobostigon | :) | 22:07 |
