[00:16] Omnifrog: that is good right? :) [00:17] well, not for my back [00:18] today I was clearing some woods of dead fall and preping it for the chipper shredder [00:19] I got about 5 or 6 pickup truck beds worth ready === Omnifrog is now known as Omnifrog|pond === Omnifrog|pond is now known as Omnifrog [13:28] morning Omnifrog [15:44] howdy wrst [15:45] new laptop is here! [15:45] WOO! [15:45] cool Omnifrog, what did you get? [15:46] wife settled on a Samsung QX411 [15:52] that's a sweet looking laptop [16:05] weird, the laptops first boot lands in a partition manager? [16:07] why would it do that? [16:09] http://i.imgur.com/MWiMWTb.jpg [16:10] looks like the ubuntu installer [16:11] but that's nice feature actually if you are staying on winders [18:20] what the hell is Easy Speedup Manager? and why might it need 10 minutes or more depending on my system? [18:20] GOD I hate windows [18:20] Omnifrog: ??? who knows [18:21] easy speedup anything taking 10 minutes is well stupid defined isn't it? [18:22] that's windows alright, click here to spend 10 minutes saving a few seconds [18:22] followed by a reboot no doubt [18:24] seems like optimizing the damn thing to run as fast as it can should be done already. [18:24] what a retarded thing to make optional [18:29] Omnifrog: considered putting something else on it? :) [18:30] yep. it will get a Linux partition after burn in [18:31] either an ubuntu base or opensuse [18:32] this is gonna be wifes new work machine. [18:33] this speed boost thing seems to be playing with overclocking settings [18:37] yeah why in the world wouldnt' that happen before you get your hands on it? [18:38] oh well guess overclocking should be voluntary :) [18:41] it doesn't tell you it's fiddling with the clock speed. after you click it a little picture of a CPU shows up with a bar that moves up and down a whole bunch [18:54] oh well [18:54] sillyness [18:54] windows 8? [18:54] NOOOooooo! [18:54] 7 [18:55] can't beleive you wouldn't want that new and improved interface :) [18:55] lol [18:55] Omnifrog: i'm going to play the lottery just messed with grub over ssh rebooted and it all worked [18:56] wheeewww! [18:56] yeah and I know that was pretty stupid to do that :) [18:58] oh good, another reboot. these updates (and just getting the laptop useable) is taking forever [18:59] you really need a day just to update [18:59] I love doing a reinstall of xp... man updates... forever updates [19:00] I can't believe MS still hasn't done away with the endless need to reboot [19:00] its what people know them for you can't change that :) [20:42] lol [20:43] hello chris4585 [20:44] hey wrst [20:45] chris4585: how have you been? [20:46] wrst, I'm alright, enjoying my days off [20:46] days off are always great [20:47] chris4585: I have ended my ubuntu expirement [20:47] yes, and which ubuntu experiment? [20:48] had been using it on my laptop but gnome 3.8 is unstinky enough I can go back to arch and use it [21:21] wrst, oh awesome [21:21] I haven't used 3.8 yet [21:21] but I imagine its good [21:22] chris4585: its much improved, they are making nautilus worse but overall with a couple of extensions i prefer it over unity [21:23] yeah, well cinnamon has nemo so woot [21:27] i may use nemo with gnome-shell actually chris4585 [21:30] its worth it [22:09] looing for help updating virtualbox .. .. . ??? [22:26] But doesn't know if he's on fedora or not.... [22:56] fedora.... [23:09] chris4585: i have an extension that makes the gnome dock work like a dock instead of all that activities stuff and I really like [23:09] and in 3.8 you now have the classic mode that isn't bad either [23:09] wrst: He wasn't. [23:10] ha ha Unit193 fedora people still use that? [23:10] I tried last release, the installer was bad, made arch look good to install :) [23:14] wrst, sounds nice [23:14] works pretty nicely chris4585 [23:15] other than the kernel/graphics/gnome-shell issues but that's the price of being an ealry adopter, unlike ubuntu deciding i didn't need sound any more [23:15] that was supposed to be stable! [23:15] lol [23:15] I'm happy on manjaro still [23:16] it has arch goodness so its all good ;) [23:16] basically [23:17] Raring isn't great with depends, not long until their new "Mir" will depend on Unity... [23:17] Unit193: yeah I think Ubuntu may do well but I prefer to stay with something proven for a while and wait and see [23:19] wrst: I'm saying, Xubuntu is pulling in some uneeded packages because the depends are silly. [23:19] Unit193: yeah when you going to debian? ;) [23:20] Hopefully it'll be a little, I like the Xubuntu community and setup. [23:20] (Ubuntu also cares closer to what I do whether something is open source or not.)
