| nibalizer | slangasek: pong, by way if blkperl | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| slangasek | nibalizer: hey there | 00:07 |
| slangasek | nibalizer: I need people with macs for me to beat up on | 00:07 |
| slangasek | nibalizer: want to come to the BSP at Free Geek next Sunday and bring yours? :) | 00:08 |
| slangasek | just to be clear, I'm proposing the beat up the macs, not the people | 00:10 |
| slangasek | ;) | 00:10 |
| nibalizer | sure! | 00:31 |
| nibalizer | btw at this point i am happily running ubuntu albiet in bios emulation mode | 00:31 |
| nibalizer | i have 12.10 at this point, should i do anything else to prepare? | 00:32 |
| slangasek | nibalizer: nothing at all; I mostly want to know if the raring media will boot, so I'll bring those with | 00:35 |
| slangasek | nibalizer: do you have an optical drive? | 00:35 |
| slangasek | (I have a USB DVD drive; it's crap, and half the time fails to work) | 00:35 |
| nibalizer | not an apple one, i have a usb cd drive kicking around somewhere though | 00:36 |
| slangasek | these are DVD images, Ubuntu doesn't fit on a CD anymore | 00:38 |
| slangasek | I'll just bring mine | 00:38 |
| nibalizer | slangasek: found the usb dvd drive, so we're double covered | 04:47 |
| nibalizer | i usually just dd the iso onto a usb though | 04:47 |
| c_smith | nibalizer, that'll be the quicker method, too, | 04:54 |
| c_smith | and more supported if the machine is so old it doesn't support DVDs. | 04:54 |
| nibalizer | c_smith: well its a mac book air 2011, its too new to support DVDs | 05:17 |
| nibalizer | lawl | 05:17 |
| bkerensa | nibalizer: you going to come bang on RC bugs at the BSP? :) | 05:20 |
| c_smith | nibalizer, ah, that can be a problem, too. | 05:21 |

| * c_smith goes to look when Raring is set to be released | 05:21 | |
| * c_smith now hopes he will be fully recovered from the operation in February when the release party is for Raring | 05:22 | |
| c_smith | might run Kubuntu 13.04 when he gets his new desktop | 05:23 |
| c_smith | my laptops are toast. | 05:23 |
| slangasek | nibalizer: well, as this is supposed to be a hybrid image that works on both USB and optical, it's useful to test that | 05:44 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: you just bought a new laptop this year no? | 05:53 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, yes, that laptop met the sidewalk | 05:54 |
| c_smith | an accident, of course. | 05:54 |
| c_smith | and my older laptop has been falling apart for some time, and it finally died | 05:55 |
| c_smith | out lasted the new one, though. | 05:55 |
| philipballew | I hate when you take a fall with a laptop | 05:55 |
| philipballew | happened to me twice on my bike. | 05:55 |
| c_smith | oh, I didn't fall, the bag I had it in broke. | 05:56 |
| c_smith | I'm not clumsy enough to fall walking on a straight sidewalk. | 05:56 |
| c_smith | with no obstacles. | 05:56 |
| philipballew | lol, sorry about that. | 05:56 |
| c_smith | eh. no prob. | 05:57 |
| c_smith | kinda hard to guess what had happened with just the little info I gave. | 05:57 |
| c_smith | anywho, I'll be getting this next week: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285 | 05:57 |
| philipballew | seems cool | 05:59 |
| c_smith | yep | 06:03 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Protip: Always get coverage on all electronics | 18:55 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:55 |
| tgm4883 | bkerensa, can you check the model number of your 14z and see if it's a 5423? | 22:14 |
