[02:36] <_hc> jtaylor: I forget, did you say you'd SRU the patch from 0.6.3-6 to the quantal package?
[02:37] <_hc> or should I do that?
[16:52] <cleeming[foxx]> hi all.. so after fighting with debian packaging for a while, I figured that id give ubuntu another try as a desktop.. the first thing that really gets me is that there isnt a simple thing like being able to edit the font sizes out of the box.. i had to spend 5 minutes googling, then i had to install gnome-tweak-tool.. this sort of thing used to just work out of the box. why has this been
[16:52] <cleeming[foxx]> changed?
[16:53] <cleeming[foxx]> and also, what is with this big side bar on the left hand side? and why when im searching for the word "terminal" do i get shown "terminal 4 - terminal 4" @ £7.92
[16:53] <cleeming[foxx]> it seems a million miles away from what ubuntu used to be 4 years ago :X
[16:54] <TheLordOfTime> cleeming[foxx]:  the bar at the left is called "Unity"
[16:55] <TheLordOfTime> when you search for the word "terminal" the shopping lens i think is picking it up as well.
[16:55] <cleeming[foxx]> i thought unity was that cube thing, the unity3d multi desktop stuff
[16:55] <cleeming[foxx]> ah, i just found this; https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks
[16:55] <TheLordOfTime> cleeming[foxx]:  http://unity.ubuntu.com/
[16:56] <TheLordOfTime> cleeming[foxx]:  you can disable the online search stuff though
[16:56] <cleeming[foxx]> ahhh, i hadnt seen the unity url before.. ill have a read now, ty

[16:56] <TheLordOfTime> (sorry about dumping this in -motu, MOTUs.)
[16:56] <cleeming[foxx]> should i be using a diff channel to talk about this sort of thing?
[16:57] <cleeming[foxx]> if so my apologies, id used ubuntu-motu before for packaging problems, and everyone was very helpful, so figured it would be the best place to ask
[16:57] <TheLordOfTime> the questions you just asked weren't packaging problems though
[16:57]  * TheLordOfTime shurgs
[16:58] <TheLordOfTime> i'm not a MOTU, i'm just a bugs triager and part-time packager :P
[16:58] <cleeming[foxx]> got it
[16:58] <cleeming[foxx]> well, i figured if i asked in #ubuntu, i wouldnt get any quality of response
[16:59] <TheLordOfTime> i ask my packaging questions here,  and occasionally poke here for getting a sponsor for the universe packages i submit debdiffs for when the bug is "High" priority (unless i'm told otherwise)
[17:01] <cleeming[foxx]> this might sound like an absolutely stupid question but... would it be considered normal if i was to replace the unity window manager? i.e. is that what most people do?
[17:02] <jtaylor> I wouldn't say most, but many do
[17:02] <TheLordOfTime> i didn't
[17:02] <TheLordOfTime> but for me it's irrelevant:
[17:03] <TheLordOfTime> most of what I do is command line anyways
[17:03] <cleeming[foxx]> well exactly, i only wanted ubuntu as a simple terminal window manager.. was considering putting in openbox instead
[17:03] <jtaylor> there is lubuntu
[17:03] <cleeming[foxx]> *googles*
[17:03] <jtaylor> I think it uses openbox or fluxbox
[17:03] <cleeming[foxx]> oh nice
[17:04] <cleeming[foxx]> that looks quite clean.. is it kept as up to date as ubuntu?
[17:04] <jtaylor> so far I  know its jsut ubuntu with different default
[17:04] <cleeming[foxx]> fluxbox ah yeah i used that too
[17:04] <jtaylor> packages should be the same
[17:04] <cleeming[foxx]> nice, thanks man, ill give that a try.. sorry for flooding -motu with user questions, will refrain from it in future!
[17:08]  * cleeming[foxx] just found where i should have asked these questions.. #ubuntu-offtopic !
