[01:27] <jfenn2199> cyberanger, 100 this year
[01:47] <wrst> jfenn2199: that sounds like an interesting project
[01:52] <netritious> howdy...did I miss the meeting? :)
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <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.
[01:55] <wrst> ok what i was thinking but wanted to ask an expert, but i may just reinstall also not for sure
[01:56] <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?
[02:02] <netritious> just make backups :)
[02:04] <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 :)
[02:15] <wrst> yeah i think i will just do a fresh install probably makes more sense
[02:16] <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
[02:22] <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.
[02:24] <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 :)
[02:32] <wrst> yes lots of backups any time doing such as this
[02:32] <wrst> I am on board with that
[02:38] <netritious> wrst: I'm still 100% "spinner" atm, minus my umpteen thumbdrives and flash memory. Not convinced SSD is worth the price.
[02:40] <netritious> so waiting until prices come down a lot more and to upgrade all my systems to SATA III before taking the plunge.
[03:18] <wrst> netritious: I have one at work and performance is amazing
[03:18] <wrst> but use a spinner for basic storage
[03:37] <chris4585> I'd like an SSD, I think that is my next upgrade I'll make
[03:38] <chris4585> you have to get the right SSD though, kingston hyperx is good
[03:42] <wrst> this is a samsung had good reviews i shall see
[04:32] <netritious> samsung is awesome. I like most of everything they make, from displays to smart phones.
[04:33] <netritious> hey chris4585
[04:36] <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
[04:37] <netritious> chris4585: wait, are you asking wrst about his sdd? lol
[04:38] <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
[04:40] <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.
[04:50] <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
[06:02] <chris4585> nice
[06:03] <chris4585> usb 3 support works for me on 3.6 and even on 3.4
[07:50] <netritious> I think USB support was baked in around 3.2
[07:50] <netritious> *USB 3.0
[07:51] <netritious> just realized what time it was....nite
[08:45] <chris4585> baked in, lol I like that term
[15:48] <wrst> morning average_guy
[15:48]  * wrst glares at xTEMPx
[18:04] <wrst> morning, or there about chris4585
[18:05] <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
[18:08] <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
[19:38] <chris4585> an SSD is what I'm thinking about for christmas, but not really sure yet
[19:40] <wrst> chris4585: after seeing what it has done for this old machine here at work they are amazing
[20:16] <chris4585> yeah
[20:17] <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?
[20:19] <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
