| vexxecon | Good evening, all! | 03:55 |
|---|---|---|
| thafreak | not good evening for me.... :( | 04:13 |
| thafreak | where you from vexxecon | 04:13 |
| vexxecon | Montpelier | 04:15 |
| vexxecon | Right up 15 minutes from both Michigan and Indiana | 04:15 |
| thafreak | brb... | 04:16 |
| canthus13 | vexxecon: Ah... Not *that* far from me. I'm in Toledo. | 04:17 |
| vexxecon | Yep. I'm in Toledo all the time. | 04:18 |
| vexxecon | It's a *cough*45 minute drive*cough*. An hour if I'm driving safely. | 04:18 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 04:18 |
| vexxecon | I'm going to be coming into a spare laptop this week, and was trying to decide what to put on it when I get it fixed up. I think I'm going to go with Kubuntu... | 04:20 |
| canthus13 | Ew. | 04:21 |
| thafreak | whatever you do, don't put vmware player on it... | 04:21 |
| thafreak | this thing is garbage | 04:21 |
| Cheri703 | now now canthus13, we are flavor agnostic here :) | 04:21 |
| canthus13 | I swear KDE is like frankenstein's monster. | 04:21 |
| vexxecon | I love me some KDE. | 04:21 |
| Cheri703 | thafreak: vmware player is not so bad...depends on what you're doing I suppose | 04:22 |
| thafreak | it never runs for me... | 04:22 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: Eh? vmware player works well for me. better than vbox when it comes to XP. (I dunno why, but I couldn't install silverlight in vbox...) | 04:22 |
| thafreak | keeps crapping out | 04:22 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I much prefer vmware player to vbox | 04:22 |
| thafreak | anytime I actually NEED to use it, it doesn't run | 04:22 |
| canthus13 | I like vbox for a lot of stuff. but XP... Meh. | 04:23 |
| vexxecon | I'm running Ubuntu proper on my other spare laptop, but the interface bugs me, and I'm lazy enough that I'll leave it and wait till I get another laptop to install Kubuntu instead of just installing a new interface. | 04:23 |
| * thafreak is NOT in a good mood tonight... | 04:23 | |
| * thafreak drove in to work because the single point of failure (central san)...failed | 04:23 | |
| canthus13 | vexxecon: Yeah. Unity is too kindergarten-y for me too. I've been using Awesome w/ gnome stuff. | 04:23 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: Ew. that sucks. | 04:24 |
| thafreak | been waiting to reboot it cause it's UI died months ago, but didn't want to take EVERYTHING off line | 04:24 |
| vexxecon | When they switched to Unity, that's when I stopped enjoying Ubuntu's design tastes. | 04:24 |
| thafreak | now, I reboot it ....the 3ware card says there are no drives....FML | 04:25 |
| * vexxecon eyes his linux laptop that sits in the corner gathering dust | 04:25 | |
| Unit193 | Never liked gnome, but Xfce is great. ;) | 04:25 |
| vexxecon | I use Xfce on my Raspberry Pi | 04:26 |
| thafreak | i have been having small gripes with xfce on 12.04 lately so I switched to lxde | 04:26 |
| vexxecon | Unfortunately, that's the only time I get to use Linux on a regular basis- when I'm fiddling with my RPi. | 04:27 |
| thafreak | I spend way too damn much of my life fidling with linux... | 04:27 |
| * thafreak needs a new career | 04:28 | |
| canthus13 | vexxecon: Heh. the only time I get to use windows on a regular basis is at work. At home, all the machines are Linux. (With the exception of a VM on my laptop) | 04:28 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: Come do tech support. we're hiring. :) | 04:28 |
| canthus13 | then you'll long for your old job. | 04:28 |
| thafreak | no, my job is too much tech support as it is...hence the need to leave | 04:28 |
| vexxecon | Before I was laid off, I used windows exclusively at work, and had to use it at home for work purposes(Visual Studio ftl). | 04:28 |
| thafreak | poor guy | 04:29 |
| vexxecon | And also, my laptop is a Mac, and my second laptop has heating issues, etc. | 04:29 |
| thafreak | My newest server in the basement has started having heating issues...and now maybe drive issues :( | 04:30 |
| vexxecon | I never got to reinstall Kubuntu on my desktop here at home when I rebuilt it, so that's a thing I have to do. | 04:30 |
| thafreak | I just tested kubuntu...ran it live on a spare laptop...the menu thing anoyed me...other than that, it seems better | 04:31 |
| thafreak | but I couldn't handle that menu all the time...there's probably a way to change it though | 04:31 |
| Cheri703 | last time I tried kubuntu, the package manager would not download files. like...at all. no updates, no new packages, nothing would work -_- so I gave up. even reinstalled it a few times and still nothing | 04:32 |
| vexxecon | I enjoy it. I prefer KDE over all other interfaces. | 04:32 |
| thafreak | vexxecon: do you use the default menu, or do you modify it? | 04:32 |
| vexxecon | Default. | 04:33 |
| canthus13 | hmm.. packages.. I should run updates. it's been a few hours. | 04:36 |
| canthus13 | bah. nothing. | 04:37 |
| * canthus13 keeps hoping a better vid driver will appear so minecraft will be playable again. | 04:37 | |
| canthus13 | ..although it's prolly minecraft that's the problem. | 04:37 |
| vexxecon | I ran updates on a fresh install of Ubuntu on a laptop I was fixing early last week, and it came back with nothing, then 5 minutes later I did it again just to be sure and it's like "Oh, I forgot to tell you you had 2 hours of updates, sorry." | 04:38 |
| canthus13 | heh. | 04:38 |
| vexxecon | And then I found a copy of Windows 7 and installed it over that because my mom said that the user(her friend) didn't know how to linux, and needed windows for online, in browser testing. | 04:40 |
| thafreak | holy crap...turned out the battery backup unit was/is bad on the raid controller | 07:55 |
| thafreak | caused the raid controller to pretend there were no disks attached... | 07:55 |
| thafreak | oh, and I had to take the entire 2U heavy a** storage array out of the rack to diagnose... | 07:56 |
| thafreak | only took 3 hours....ugh | 07:56 |
| vexxecon | Could have been worse. | 08:06 |
| thafreak | true...the array could have been toast...that would be horrible | 08:47 |
| thafreak | since I don't have everything backed up :( | 08:47 |
