[00:45] <Cheri703> computer is set back up with 12.04 :) I have a script that I keep updated so I can just run it and it'll install everything for me. I still have to do the settings and whatnot once it's installed, but it saves SO much time and energy
[00:57] <dzho> oh?
[01:08] <Cheri703> yeah, just a basic bash script. well, 2. one is set up to add all of the "extra" repositories I need, then the other one runs a "sudo apt-get install <8billionprograms>" and then removes a few. I just update it as I add or remove programs from my normal daily use. I also have a list of what settings need to be set and how, what things to add to fstab to make my windows share auto-mount, etc etc. I keep it and a few other things (that I make
[01:08] <Cheri703> symlinks to) all in my ubuntu one folder, so when setting up a computer, all I have to do is make sure it has internet, run the initial updates, sign in to ubuntu one, and run 2 scripts, then walk away for a while while it does its thing installing. I come back to hit enter a few times on the wine installer, then wander off again and come back to a computer that is 90% set up for me, and the remaining 10% a step by step thing so I don't
[01:08] <Cheri703> forget stuff. I hate going to do something and realizing I forgot to set it up after a reinstall, and I need it RIGHT NOW and it's going to be a hassle
[01:25] <drkokandy> Every time I boot up one of my two 12.10 machines I get 1 or 2 system error notifications... I clear them, and then everything is fine... but still, it's kind of irritating.
[01:40] <dzho> dpkg --get-selections > all-my-installed-packages
[01:42] <dzho> then I think you can dpkg --set-selections < all-my-installed-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade
[02:05] <Cheri703> I looked for that, and I don't necessarily want *all* installed packages, sometimes you install random things and you don't necessarily need them on the next install, also I was downgrading (at least this time) and didn't want to screw anything up. :) it works for me
[02:06] <dzho> sure, just sayin'
[02:06] <dzho> all-my-installed-packages is just a text file, fwiw
[02:07] <Cheri703> but then I have to parse through it and figure out "oh, x program installed a-f additional packages" and I don't care :) I just want the top level stuff
[02:21] <dzho> yeah
[15:51] <thafreak> Got my freenas box put together last night...
[15:52] <thafreak> so either my new gold certified power supply isn't really any more efficient than the bronze one I was testing with
[15:52] <thafreak> or those wd red drives really pull a lot of juice
[15:53] <thafreak> the box was idling about 10w higher in it's final config
[15:53] <thafreak> it's still under 50w though...probably want to measure it again when it's doing like a zfs scrub though
 the new Sitegeist app is awesome. http://sitegeist.sunlightfoundation.com/ </sunlightfoundation_spam>
[15:58] <thafreak> what's it do?
[15:58] <thafreak> make my freenas faster? :-P
