* wrst stares at xTEMPLARx14:34
* xTEMPLARx peaks out of his box14:53
xTEMPLARxever since lowering the system fonts of my machine here, I'm much happier with my screen :D14:54
xTEMPLARxoh and I turned my desktop icons off just for you, wrst.14:54
xTEMPLARxtheyre still there, just not visible14:54
xTEMPLARx:D14:54
xTEMPLARxwish Chrome would use the window manager's borders instead of its own14:54
xTEMPLARxat least it follows the color scheme somewhat14:54
wrstxTEMPLARx: i thought chrome had that option?14:55
xTEMPLARxeh?14:55
xTEMPLARxto be honest, I"ve never looked for one14:55
xTEMPLARxso I dunno14:55
wrstin kde i have it doing it its in teh options14:56
wrst*the14:56
wrstxTEMPLARx: you mean like this? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2959906/kde7.png14:57
xTEMPLARxthats chromium though14:57
xTEMPLARxis chrome the same in that regard?14:57
wrstyes it is14:57
wrstits in the settings, and curious why do you run chrome i find chromium updates come my way faster with no extra repos?14:57
xTEMPLARxlast I heard chromium wasn't being as actively maintained, and chrome works fine, so no reason to NOT use it.14:58
wrstoh yeah in the ubuntu repos its not being maintained14:59
wrsti remember that last time i attempted to run ubuntu14:59
wrstanother reason i've decided against that14:59
wrstyou had to add a ppa and that was sad that they would rather you use a closed sourced version than the true open source version15:00
xTEMPLARxI wouldn't say that15:00
xTEMPLARxbecause chrome itself isn't an automatic option15:00
xTEMPLARxyou have to seek it out as well15:00
xTEMPLARxits more like they'd prefer you use firefox15:00
wrstthey advertise it with the installer15:00
xTEMPLARxwhich installer?15:01
xTEMPLARxnot in the 12.10 I did at home15:01
wrstthe ubuntu 12.04 isntaller did and it was on their website at one time15:01
xTEMPLARxi had to go find it15:01
xTEMPLARxit wasn't an option :\15:01
wrsthttp://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/features/web-browsing15:03
xTEMPLARxhuh15:03
wrstit was one of the things in the installer had firefox then had a pic of the chrome icon as an option15:03
xTEMPLARxi wonder if it was there if you enabled third party sources15:03
xTEMPLARxand thats why I didn't see it15:03
xTEMPLARxyou have an elephant's memory, mr. wrst15:04
wrsti just remember stuff that hacks me off xTEMPLARx :)15:04
xTEMPLARxlol15:04
wrsti mean really they could push the open source version of the project and really no one would notice the difference i don't15:04
xTEMPLARxwhy on earth would that hack you off?15:05
xTEMPLARxyou have a short fuse, methinks15:05
wrstbecause you would think ubuntu would use opensource and push opensource when at all possible15:05
wrstxTEMPLARx: you been talking to my wife?15:05
wrst:)15:05
xTEMPLARx:D15:05
wrstbut really they use the same logo one is just blue15:05
xTEMPLARxno sir, that'd be inappropriate.  I had my wife talk to her15:05
wrstoh no they would both be mad then some how15:05
xTEMPLARxthats true15:06
* xTEMPLARx rethinks his position15:06
xTEMPLARxfound the option15:06
xTEMPLARxI was already using the option to use the system theme for the colors, which explains why it matched.  But now its using the same top bar too :D15:06
wrstsee my anger helped you out ;)15:06
xTEMPLARx=]15:07
wrstxTEMPLARx: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/chromium/15:07
xTEMPLARxarchy archy archy15:08
xTEMPLARxall in the family!15:08
wrstif they can do it ubuntu could!15:08
wrstand I'm not wanting to go all richard stallman on it but really15:08
xTEMPLARxtoo late15:08
xTEMPLARxyou already have RS in your nick15:09
wrstbut no M :)15:09
xTEMPLARxwhatever you got to say to yourself to sleep at night, man15:09
wrstha h a15:09
wrstbut i run chrome on windows at work so just call me hypocritical15:10
* wrst does not want to compile software on windows15:10
xTEMPLARxno binaries available?15:10
wrstthere are but they don't autuo update or didn't once upon a time15:11
xTEMPLARxalways an excuse15:12
xTEMPLARx:D15:12
wrstbut really i'm not an opensource zealot but just strikes me if you are ubuntu instead of adevertising the orange and yellow logo you would do the blue logo  and just put Chromium the open source project behind Google Chrome and be done15:12
xTEMPLARxI'm sure there's more of a reason behind it than simple open or closed-source15:13
wrsti'm sure probably because they just don't want to have to keep another browser and support it and thats fine15:13
wrstand i really do get it15:13
wrstbut after using debian a litlte bit this week i really get frustrated with ubuntu15:14
wrstbut ubuntu isn't for me so much i don't guess15:14
xTEMPLARxtraitorous pig-dog!15:14
* xTEMPLARx makes phone calls to arrange the firing squad.15:14
wrstha ha well i like my ubuntu server15:14
wrsti think they are just ruining their desktop one release at a time15:14
xTEMPLARxgimme a bullet list15:17
wrst* Unity15:19
wrstthat's my list15:19
wrstand as GNOME and Ubuntu get farther a part its going to be interesting, for one it looks like gnome is going to have systemd as a dependency possibly with the next realease, so lots of hacking to get it functional with upstart15:19
wrstand KDE on ubuntu is lackluster at best and pathetic at worse15:20
wrstso you don't hav ea good alternative of the full featured desktops, all that in my opinion of course15:20
xTEMPLARxdue to lack of full support, since they're banking on Unity15:20
wrstwhich opinions are well like rear ends :)15:20
wrstxTEMPLARx: exactly so that leaves you going somewhere else or battling silly battles15:21
xTEMPLARxOkay, all of that makes sense15:21
wrstnow xbuntu is probably the best of the alternate desktops but i'm not a huge xfce fan but if someone is its solid15:21
wrstagain all my opinion :)15:21
wrstand some people love unity I have wanted to because i hope ubuntu is very successful but I just can't use it, it gets in the way15:22
xTEMPLARxI was the same way with gnome shell15:22
xTEMPLARxfor a few minutes15:22
xTEMPLARxbut with Unity, every time I try it again that same few minutes goes by and I'm still just as annoyed15:22
xTEMPLARxgnome shell grew on me quickly15:22
xTEMPLARxbut, like you say, if they're fully supporting unity and gnome shell becomes a red-headed step-child15:23
xTEMPLARxstill, though, the support that ubuntu has is hard to ignore15:23
xTEMPLARxi.e., lots of softwares available pre-packaged in .deb15:23
wrstyes true xTEMPLARx, i have all the same stuff with arch so its really not a big difference once you get the system set up15:24
xTEMPLARxall?15:24
xTEMPLARxI'm talking about 3rd party .debs here15:25
xTEMPLARxfor example, Steam for Linux15:25
wrstits there :)15:25
xTEMPLARxdon't you tell stories!15:25
wrstxTEMPLARx: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam/15:26
wrstits not 100% needless to say but its there15:26
wrstxTEMPLARx: i use ubuntuone in kde on arch and it works better than it did in kubuntu when i tried it granted that was a couple years ago15:27
xTEMPLARxlol15:27
xTEMPLARxubuntu one was something I wanted to like but dropbox wins in that regard15:27
xTEMPLARxor rather, in that arena15:27
xTEMPLARxpoor choice of words there15:27
xTEMPLARxstill, I did purchase an album from the ubuntu one music store15:28
wrstyes i use them both15:28
wrstdropbox is my go to and i use ubuntuone more for a backup of my documents and what not but not so much stuff i need synced15:28
wrsthello jfenn219915:29
xTEMPLARxdropbox is just too universal to ignore it as the primary solution15:29
xTEMPLARxwb jfenn219915:29
xTEMPLARxmy worship pastor at church uses it to disseminate sheet music and such to the instrumentalists15:30
xTEMPLARxinstrumentalists15:30
xTEMPLARx:D15:30
xTEMPLARxfun word15:30
wrstnice word15:31
wrstyeah i use it allt he time to send files via the public link etc, and ubuntu one works nicely crossplatform and mobile but just not as good on the integration15:31
xTEMPLARxi wish conky worked properly with gnome shell :(15:31
xTEMPLARxmobile?  is there an iOS port?15:31
xTEMPLARx:D15:31
* wrst has never had the patience for conky15:32
wrstxTEMPLARx: yes there is15:32
xTEMPLARxsho nuff15:32
wrsthttps://one.ubuntu.com/15:32
xTEMPLARxGJ canonical!15:32
wrstxTEMPLARx: i'm the one not using ubuntu here....15:32
wrst:P15:32
xTEMPLARxthat didn't exist back in the day15:32
xTEMPLARxhave you seen the new Nexus 4 from google?15:33
wrstyes wish i had seen it a little early i woudl have considered getting it and going the prepaid route with it15:35
wrsti love my s3 now that i have cyanogenmod on it but that would have saved me some work :)15:35
xTEMPLARxyup15:35
xTEMPLARx299 for an unlocked phone15:36
wrstyeah that's killer15:36
xTEMPLARxand using straight talk, 45 a month for unlimited calling and internet15:36
wrstcould have saved a lot of money15:36
xTEMPLARxand its a good-sized phone15:36
xTEMPLARxnice rez on the screen15:36
wrstyep15:36
wrstvery15:36
xTEMPLARxits probably the first android phone I've seen that's made me think "Hrmmm... "15:36
wrstxTEMPLARx: i must say the SIII is no slouch once you get the samsung ROM ditched after that its a force15:37
xTEMPLARxits amazing how the big carrier's hamstring their phones15:38
wrstwell that and this is more samsung doing it, the touchwhizz interface just isn't that great15:39
wrstplus its android 4.0.4 and i'm on 4.1.2 which has google now and all the good stuff15:39
xTEMPLARxgotchya15:40
xTEMPLARxsorry, but for technology, I dig Google's direction15:40
xTEMPLARxgranted, they want all mah info!15:40
xTEMPLARxbut still, they make great tools15:41
wrstgoogle wants your info, apple wants all your money, your choice :)15:44
wrstand windows... well do they make mobile devices?15:44
wrstand xTEMPLARx i thought you were an apple guy ?15:47
xTEMPLARxI love my ipad15:49
xTEMPLARxand my iphone works amazingly well15:49
xTEMPLARxso it'll be hard to convince me to go elsewhere15:50
xTEMPLARxhowever, I can't afford a new iphone15:50
xTEMPLARxi'm still using a 3GS15:50
xTEMPLARxwhich is plenty fast and still able to play current apps15:50
xTEMPLARxrun*15:50
wrsti came close on an iphone but.... just couldn't see it really15:50
xTEMPLARxbut for 299 for what I consider to be a micro-tablet with phone service15:50
wrstand my wifes phone is great, but glad i went the way i did15:50
xTEMPLARxthat's not awful15:50
xTEMPLARxwonder if there's a version of OnSong for android15:51
wrstxTEMPLARx: my s3 is a little large but like you said its a micro tablet15:51
wrstwhat is onsong?15:51
wrstits not in the store15:51
xTEMPLARxhttp://www.onsongapp.com/15:52
xTEMPLARxno droid version15:52
xTEMPLARxi wouldn't use it on the phone anyway15:52
xTEMPLARxjust the ipad15:52
xTEMPLARxso not sure why I even asked the question15:53
wrstthat page turn would be nice but i pretty much do the rest with ccli, and dropbox15:53
wrstxTEMPLARx: seems like there are apps on android only that would keep you away from moving to iOS and apps on iOS that would keep you from moving to android?15:54
xTEMPLARxonsong isn't about how you distribute the songs so much as just being a digital chord chart with an amazing repository of song charts available thru it.  granted, they come from a third-party source that you have to sub to, but that's okay.  it works and I dig it15:59
xTEMPLARxbut you're right on the app exclusivity side15:59
xTEMPLARxi had fun using ssh from my old iphone when I had Cydia installed on it15:59
xTEMPLARxbut I felt like the phone was slow enough without asking it to do things it didn't need to try to do16:00
xTEMPLARxhttp://bit.ly/Szg73a  <--- hilarious.  apologies for the "S" word in it, though.16:01
wrstxTEMPLARx: yeah i use song select on my phone and have pdf's of everything on dropbox16:03
xTEMPLARxPDFs work pretty well, too, but these actually tend to run faster since they're not pdfs and having to load them16:03
xTEMPLARxthink of it in terms of loading text files versus pdfs16:03
xTEMPLARxwhich most of the native onsong charts are (text that is)16:04
wrstxTEMPLARx: i think my wife experiences that16:04
xTEMPLARxit'll load PDFs too16:04
wrsti can do sheet music if need be also16:04
wrstplus using something a little more official from ccli16:04
xTEMPLARxyeah16:05
wrstbut the pedal... that's great16:06
wrsti would trade that in for the pedal i do believe16:06
wrstand i smeel somethign electrical... not good16:06
xTEMPLARxhttp://bit.ly/SzikM316:09
wrstcool16:11

wrstxTEMPLARx: what do you mean?20:23
xTEMPLARxin #archlinux there's a "wesleystout" user20:23
wrstahh yes thats on a debian server i forgot was running :)20:24
wrsti don't like archlinux i'm afraid to be in there so i use something else :)20:25

wrsti have never said a word in there20:28
xTEMPLARxpoking around20:28
xTEMPLARxseein' what kinda room it is20:28
wrstit is an interesting "community" pretty much read the manual20:29
wrstwhich they have a really good manual20:29
wrstso they are really right20:29
xTEMPLARxthat seems somewhat counter-community20:30
wrstyeah its not so much community20:30
xTEMPLARxlike archlinux is run by former KGB agents20:30
wrstsorta20:31
xTEMPLARxhrm20:32
xTEMPLARxmakes me wanna push buttons until I get kicked outa the room20:32
xTEMPLARxmust...resist..urge..to troll20:32
wrstha ha they pull the trigger fast20:37
xTEMPLARxI bet I could interject in the current discussion with something like "Ah, but I don't ever HAVE that problem because I use Unity and Unity is the best etc etc etc..."20:39
xTEMPLARxor I could ask how to install Unity on arch20:39
xTEMPLARxooo20:39
wrstxTEMPLARx: you can20:49
xTEMPLARxsssh20:50
wrsthttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unity20:51
xTEMPLARxi can't do it20:51
wrstcan't do what?21:04
wrstxTEMPLARx: ^21:04
xTEMPLARxI started to pester the archlinux channel about installing unity on arch and playing dumb when they told me stuff... I was gonna start rambling about how I didn't know how to install this "ubuntu" program on arch and could somebody please just help me blah blah blah21:05
xTEMPLARxcouldn't do it21:05
wrstyeah they just would have kicked you anyway21:06
wrstoh xTEMPLARx if you do !ubuntu in channel you get this link: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rbeqbj-n1Z0/Skeak1qBGyI/AAAAAAAAAeM/3k_ntrDWmOw/s1600-h/ubuntu.png21:07
xTEMPLARxrofl21:07
wrstgotta admit that is pretty good21:07
xTEMPLARxtotally :D21:08
wrsti have considered isntalling unity just to see what it is like on arch21:08
wrstubuntu one works rather nicely in arch21:08
