[08:58] <ikt> hallo all :)
[09:01] <jea> Evening
[09:32] <Noskcaj> evening
[09:35] <jea> Did either of you see the discussion last night regarding reapproval for Ubuntu-AU?
[09:43] <Noskcaj> no
[09:44] <jea> Ok. I will try to find the logs
[09:57] <ikt> cool
[09:58] <ikt> it looks like there isn't much excitement regarding ubuntu on the desktop for a few releases
[09:59] <ikt> it should be relatively smooth sailing towards 14.04, maybe a bit of bumpiness with mir
[10:00] <jea> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/05/12/%23ubuntu-au.html
[10:02] <jea> Apologies for being fairly quiet at the moment - I am in another Uni group meeting
[10:02] <jea> but I am watching
[10:17] <Noskcaj> jea, with the exception of lubuntu, they are having a bit happen.
[10:17] <jea> lubuntu is doing things within Australia?
[10:19] <Noskcaj> jea, no, i thought you meant in general
[10:19] <jea> Ah, ok
[10:19] <Noskcaj> jea, if you need me to help with anything, let me know. i live in armidale though
[10:20] <jea> In this case I was wondering about happenings within Australia, with regards to reapproval later this year
[10:20] <ikt> Noskcaj: what's going on with lubuntu?
[10:21] <Noskcaj> ikt, there was talk of skipping 13.10.
[10:21] <Noskcaj> mostly because of PPC bugs and XP EOLing
[10:22] <jea> XP == Windows XP?
[10:24] <Noskcaj> yep
[10:24] <Noskcaj> both lubuntu and xubuntu are making offline documentation, not much else is happening.
[10:25] <Noskcaj> and xubuntu had a magazine feature which i helped write
[10:25] <jea> what magazine was that in?
[10:25] <jea> also, congratulations for helping to write it :)
[10:26] <ikt> ^'
[10:26] <ikt> +1
[10:26] <Noskcaj> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Marketing/Magazine2013 has the info
[10:27] <Noskcaj> off the topic of ubuntu. i have NAPLAN tomorrow :(
[10:27] <ikt> anyone grabbing the latest humble bundle?
[10:28] <ikt> good luck :D
[10:28] <Noskcaj> ikt, i would, but i have no money at all.
[10:28] <jea> Noskcaj: NAPLAN is nothing to worry about
[10:28] <Noskcaj> jea, boring though
[10:28] <ikt> Noskcaj: i think the minimum is like 1 cent?
[10:28] <jea> sure, but not worth all the fuss given to it in the media
[10:28] <Noskcaj> ikt, and the parents don't like even more games
[10:28] <ikt> although you have to donate ~$9 for brutal legend
[10:28] <Noskcaj> i have to go now, bye
[10:28] <ikt> seya :)
[10:28] <jea> bye Noskcaj 
[10:29] <benonsoftware> Noskcaj: Good luck, 
[10:29] <ikt> need to get a 2nd monitor
[10:29] <ikt> got one at work and it's great for things like irc
[10:29] <jea> 2 monitors are very useful
[10:30] <jea> the multi-monitor support is a lot better now too
[10:31]  * benonsoftware intensely dislikes lag.
[10:32] <jea> it is quite annoying
[10:32] <ikt> yeah I've heard a lot about multi-monitor support
[10:57] <gggs> hit-or-miss with Linux though, had all sorts of strife with it, so went back to single monitor+multi-desktops
[10:58] <jea> I have used multi-monitor with multi-desktops, and it was fine
[10:58] <gggs> if your 2nd monitor is a different height then it means unusable areas above/below each monitor
[10:59] <jea> it does, but i haven't had issues with that before
[11:01] <gggs> icons get automatically placed in the top-left corner, so if you have deadspace above your left monitor you can't get to it
[11:01] <gggs> auto-mounts for instance
[11:01] <jea> oh, ok
[11:01] <jared> I've run multi monitors for years, never had much drama with nvidia cards
[11:01] <jea> I don't put anything on my desktop, so I haven't noticed it
[11:02] <jared> All you do is set the primary monitor to the one you want and set the bar to be only on the primary monitor
