|---|---|---|
| wrst | jfenn2199: that sounds like an interesting project | 01:47 |
| netritious | howdy...did I miss the meeting? :) | 01:52 |
| wrst | howdy netritious :) how you dong? | 01:53 |
| wrst | netritious: just the guy i need to ask annoying questions to | 01:53 |
| netritious | Dong's doing ok wrst lol | 01:53 |
| netritious | haha what's up? | 01:54 |
| wrst | netritious: just bought an ssd and an adapter thing to put my other hard drive in the dvdrom slot in my laptop, i'm thinking i should be able to just clone one partition to the ssd then chroot and update grub does that sound reasonable? | 01:54 |
| netritious | yep. | 01:54 |
| wrst | ok what i was thinking but wanted to ask an expert, but i may just reinstall also not for sure | 01:55 |
| wrst | thought also about having my system partiitons / /boot etc on the ssd and doing home on the regular hard drive but not for sure if that is a good plan or not? | 01:56 |
| netritious | just make backups :) | 02:02 |
| wrst | oh yes :) | 02:04 |
| wrst | netritious: really there is nothing on my laptop its all on my server, dropbox or ubuntuone i keep i that way so when i mess it up its easy to restore :) | 02:04 |
| wrst | yeah i think i will just do a fresh install probably makes more sense | 02:15 |
| wrst | and i don't mess everything up and still have my old disk to boot off of if i mess something up :) | 02:16 |
| wrst | i'm thinking have every directory on the ssd including home virtual box will be a lot faster | 02:16 |
| netritious | yeah...SSD vs "a spinner" (as I hear people reference them now) is no competition. | 02:22 |
| netritious | not on performance anyway. verdict is still out on longevity. | 02:22 |
| netritious | there's nothing wrong with migrating what you want/need or mounting the other partition once the SSD is in to do that | 02:24 |
| netritious | or using your HDD as home and SSD as /root | 02:24 |
| netritious | just make backups :) | 02:24 |
| wrst | yes lots of backups any time doing such as this | 02:32 |
| wrst | I am on board with that | 02:32 |
| netritious | wrst: I'm still 100% "spinner" atm, minus my umpteen thumbdrives and flash memory. Not convinced SSD is worth the price. | 02:38 |
| netritious | so waiting until prices come down a lot more and to upgrade all my systems to SATA III before taking the plunge. | 02:40 |
| wrst | netritious: I have one at work and performance is amazing | 03:18 |
| wrst | but use a spinner for basic storage | 03:18 |
| chris4585 | I'd like an SSD, I think that is my next upgrade I'll make | 03:37 |
| chris4585 | you have to get the right SSD though, kingston hyperx is good | 03:38 |
| wrst | this is a samsung had good reviews i shall see | 03:42 |
| netritious | samsung is awesome. I like most of everything they make, from displays to smart phones. | 04:32 |
| netritious | hey chris4585 | 04:33 |
| chris4585 | hey netritious | 04:36 |
| chris4585 | samsung 830 or 840? | 04:36 |
| chris4585 | yeah samsung is good I hear | 04:36 |
| netritious | mine is an i837 I believe...captivate glide, rooted | 04:36 |
| netritious | chris4585: wait, are you asking wrst about his sdd? lol | 04:37 |
| chris4585 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147188 | 04:38 |
| chris4585 | yes | 04:38 |
| chris4585 | lol | 04:38 |
| chris4585 | I have a stupid old phone | 04:38 |
| netritious | just upgraded mine from motorola backflip (MB300) this past August...the backflip was my first android device. Got it in Feb 2010, and was way better than my windows 6 phone lol. | 04:40 |
| netritious | setting up a 12.04.1 desktop using alternate cd in vmware player | 04:50 |
| netritious | curious if GPU acceleration and USB 3.0 support actually work | 04:50 |
| chris4585 | nice | 06:02 |
| chris4585 | usb 3 support works for me on 3.6 and even on 3.4 | 06:03 |
| netritious | I think USB support was baked in around 3.2 | 07:50 |
| netritious | *USB 3.0 | 07:50 |
| netritious | just realized what time it was....nite | 07:51 |
| chris4585 | baked in, lol I like that term | 08:45 |
| wrst | morning average_guy | 15:48 |
| * wrst glares at xTEMPx | 15:48 | |
| wrst | morning, or there about chris4585 | 18:04 |
| chris4585 | morning wrst | 18:05 |
| wrst | i'm exicited chris4585 have an SSD coming for my laptop | 18:05 |
| chris4585 | wrst, nice, I want one too | 18:05 |
| wrst | i'm curious and i'm still debating if i just clone my arch partition or start from scratch, i bought an adapter to put my old drive in the optical bay | 18:08 |
| chris4585 | an SSD is what I'm thinking about for christmas, but not really sure yet | 19:38 |
| wrst | chris4585: after seeing what it has done for this old machine here at work they are amazing | 19:40 |
| chris4585 | yeah | 20:16 |
| wrst | but my decision is now do i do a fresh install of arch or do i just copy over and chroot and reinstall grub to mbr? | 20:17 |
| chris4585 | I'm not sure with SSDs but if I had the option I would clean install | 20:19 |
| wrst | well i can always use the old drive if i need it so i'm thinking start fresh since i have gone from gnome to kde | 20:19 |
