ali1234since I'm going to use this screenshot to slate KDE design i encourage you to make it look as good as you can :P00:01
BigRedSdoes KDE design need slating?00:06
BigRedSIsn't that a bit like grumbling that the sea is wet00:06
ali1234no, it's more like grumbling that the sea is full of toxic waste00:06

bootlkjkgfWonder what happened to the '404-show' [ http://cnettv.cnet.com/the-404/ ] - must still be submerged. Still abiding by popey's post about not voting !: http://goo.gl/xB9qn11:56
popeybootlkjkgf, hmm?12:03

danfishanyone running ubuntu on their nexus 7? Any reviews?12:19
popeyyes12:27
danfishpopey: is it 'productive' system?12:33
popeyit works, yes12:33
popeyunity isn't really designed for tablets at the moment (contrary to what some may say) so it's not ideal, there are plenty of bugs12:34
popeyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7/+bugs12:34
danfishok, quite a few bugs there but very exciting for the future :)12:35
danfishI like android on tablets, but there are a few annoyances that disrupt my workflow12:36
MartijnVdSI have a Chromebook now.. it's.. weird.. to only have a browser12:38
* bigcalm staggers in for a bit12:39
bigcalmMartijnVdS: is there any way to get to a terminal?12:40
MartijnVdSthere's ctrl+alt+T12:40
MartijnVdSit gets you a limited terminal that can do ssh12:40
MartijnVdSand there's developer mode, which gives you full shell12:40
popeythats good enough for most things I'd guess?12:40
MartijnVdSpopey: it is for me12:40
* bigcalm looks to see if he can put it on his eeepc100012:40
popeydoes it sync your ssh keys to the cloud?12:40
MartijnVdSpopey: I don't think so12:41
MartijnVdSyou have to install them from an SD card (or similar)12:41
MartijnVdSquad-core 1.7GHz ARM is fun though12:41
popeyyou cant generate them?12:41
popeyoh, the arm chromebook?12:41
popeyI had a brief play with one running ubuntu the other day12:41
popeyseems nice, odd keyboard12:42
penguin42oh I hadn't realised those were Quad A15's, I'd assumed they were dual12:42
penguin42MartijnVdS: What network connectivity do they have?12:42
MartijnVdSpenguin42: mine has wifi (2.4, 5GHz 2x2 N)12:43
MartijnVdSpenguin42: the also have a version with 3G12:43
penguin42MartijnVdS: But nowhere to plug a bit of string in?12:43
MartijnVdSpenguin42: if you have a USB ethernet adapter it should work12:43
penguin42MartijnVdS: And it's USB2?12:43
MartijnVdS1x USB2, 1x USB312:44
MartijnVdS1x HDMI12:44
MartijnVdS1x SD12:44
penguin42oh, I didn't realise USB3; that makes it a lot nicer - you could get decent ether speed through that12:45
MartijnVdSlimit for me is still my 15/1 DSL :)12:45
MartijnVdSbut only 2 more weeks \o/12:45
penguin42MartijnVdS: Well yeh, but still nice to be able to get to other machines in the house etc12:45
bashrcThe idea of being stuck in a browser doesn't seem attractive12:46
MartijnVdSGot the "We're coming around to terminate fibre" letter12:46
penguin42bashrc: Well as MartijnVdS says, you can replace the OS completely12:46
MartijnVdSas in.. make the connections so I can order 100/100 or 500/500 \o/12:46
MartijnVdSin development mode, you can make it run Ubuntu if you really want to, apparently12:46
penguin42MartijnVdS: Now annoy us by telling us how little you pay for that12:47
MartijnVdShttp://www.engadget.com/2012/10/22/googler-loads-ubuntu-on-an-arm-based-samsung-chromebook/12:47
MartijnVdSpenguin42: £22912:47
MartijnVdSpenguin42: on amazon12:47
penguin42MartijnVdS: I meant for the fibre12:47
MartijnVdSpenguin42: oh the fibre? Free.. as I work for the isp ;)12:47
penguin42gah!!!!!12:47
MartijnVdSpenguin42: €40ish otherwise (per month)12:47
penguin42MartijnVdS: That's not bad at all; we can get I think 100/50 cable broadband for I believe about £35/month12:48
* penguin42 is still on ADSL2 though at 10/112:48
MartijnVdSpenguin42: that's VDSL?12:48
MartijnVdS(or VDSL2 or whatever)12:48
penguin42MartijnVdS: No the 100/50 is Cable, so fibre to the cabinet and coax from cab to house12:48
MartijnVdSoh wait _cable_12:48
MartijnVdSyeah we get 100-120mbit on that as well12:48
popeythere were 3 guys hacking on the chromebook at UDS last week12:49
penguin42MartijnVdS: My exchange has fibre to do VDSL2 but the street cab I'm on hasn't got it :-(12:49
popeyone was the guy mentioned in the article :)12:49
MartijnVdSThe fibre people are trying to find routers that can actually do gigabit, and are affordable (so they can sell 1000/1000 -- cable won't be able to do that without replacing ALL routers and customer hardware)12:49
MartijnVdSLots of routers with gigabit ports.. but most can't do PPPoE on a VLAN at full gbit speed :)12:50
penguin42MartijnVdS: Is it GPON fibre ?12:50
MartijnVdSpenguin42: PON afaik12:51
MartijnVdSpenguin42: 2 fibres from every home to the POP12:51

madpupquick question does intel gfx power scaling work in 12.10? it used to crash people in 11.10,12.0414:32
AlanBelldunno, how do I tell madpup14:34
madpupit was a kernel line into grub RC6********* something or other, i will do some research, and possibly post back14:36
AlanBellmadpup: I have a laptop with intel graphics, it doesn't crash, but I have no idea how to do power scaling or what it is14:36
madpupok man thanks for the help. if i find out i will post back14:37
madpupAlan i just looked into it and its still not 100% so im leaving this alone as this is my main pc and i want it stable14:50
