inetproGuten Morgen 05:30
Kiloshi Squirm et al05:36
Trixar_zaHey Kilos05:40
Kilosohi Trixar_za 05:41
Trixar_zaI need a new Linux home for a bit. Still looking around, but it'll probably be Arch if I take the time to configure it. I have to wait for my next data bundle too. Don't want to waste it. Makes me wish I didn't try ArchBash first :/05:43
Kiloswhy you need a new home??05:44
Kiloswant more to do or what05:44
Kilosisnt arch lotsa work05:45
Trixar_zaMy SliTaz install broke and the latest unstable is a mess, which means if I want a proper one I'll probably have to redesign it from scratch and make it binary compatible with SliTaz05:45
Kilosoh my05:45
Trixar_zaYeah, I figure I'll need 2-3 days to configure and install Arch to how I would like it to be05:45
Kilosyou shoulda looked at remastersys05:46
Kilosbefore you broke it05:46
Kilosi can run my working os from dvd or reinstall05:46
Kilosnot a problem to break system anymore. can reinstall and update/upgrade with under 10m data05:48
Trixar_zaIsn't remastersys just for Ubuntu?05:49
Kilosi think it will work on other linux systems especially debian05:50
KilosMaaz, google remastersys for linux05:50

Kiloswhew dfont add more stuff now11:54
Kilosdont11:54
magespawnhttp://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ 11:54
magespawnthis is just a best practices guide11:54
Kiloslol best practise is get a pro to do it for you11:55
magespawnsomebody like superfly11:55
Kilosfrom page 11 it gets heavy trying to remember all that stuff11:56
Kilosya him11:56
magespawni can't remeber identation or spaces, and if spaces how many11:56
Kilosconstants and numbers and strings11:56
Kilossjoe11:57
superflythat's why you use pep811:58
magespawnindeed12:01
Kilosoh12:01
magespawnat least until it becomes 2nd nature12:01
KilosA style guide is about consistency. Consistency with this style guide is important. Consistency within a project is more important. Consistency within one module or function is most important.12:04
KilosBut most importantly: know when to be inconsistent12:04
Kilossigh12:04
magespawnlol @ Kilos12:16
Kilosi should stick to hardware sorting. its not in english thats not understandable12:19
Kilosfoo12:19

Kilosand?15:33
charlamazing15:33
Trixar_zaI'm actually downloading Claws Mail for Windows so I can check my email...15:33
charlthe crowdfunding doesn't look too good though15:33
Kilosthats the phone?15:33
Trixar_zaI just need to bite the bullet and install Arch15:34
charlyeah that's the hardware part15:34
Kiloseish Trixar_za 15:34
Kiloswhy arch?15:34
Kilossize or what?15:35
charlonly 7 days left to raise $20K15:35
Trixar_zaMostly what you learn while installing it. I'm not mad enough to try gentoo yet15:35
charlprobably not gonna happen15:35
Kilosthere was a chick here a while back that used arch15:35
Trixar_zaAnd yeah, the size is also a factor. My old PC can't run the new bling-bling Linuxes15:35
Kiloslook at tinycorelinux15:36
Kilosoh you got 3g15:36
Kilosthat was the only prob i had with it15:36
Kiloswith adsl it will rocks methinks15:36
Trixar_zaI tried, but most of the tinycore guys are Frugal mad idiots with a holier than thou mentality15:37
Kiloswhole os was 66m15:37
Trixar_za:P15:37
Kilosyeah i only found one helpful guy15:37
charlif you need lightweight why not just go lubuntu15:38
charlunless if you say you just want to do it for the lols then arch is great15:38
Kilosai!15:38
Kilosi didnt like it15:38
charlwhat was wrong with it?15:39
charl(i should add, i don't use it myself)15:39
Kiloshe does slitaz but it crashed now15:39
KilosTrixar_za, why not install slitaz again15:40
Trixar_zaBecause they mad a mess of the current version15:41
Trixar_zamade*15:41
Kilosor get data and upgrade to ubuntu15:41
Trixar_zaAnd I'll probably have to build my own version before I can use it again15:41
Kilosoh you leaving them15:42
Kilosoh the pc dont like ubuntu15:44
Kiloshmm...15:44
Kiloswhat help did you need with tinycore15:45
Trixar_zaPretty much sakis3g support - amongst other things. But they want to run it in RAM because starting it in ram is clean everytime15:48
Trixar_zaNot to mention huge if you have a lot of packages15:48
Trixar_zaDumbasses15:48
Kilosoh i got the install iso15:49
Kilosbut it is very different from debian15:50
Kiloswoulda been fine with adsl15:50
Kilosi wonder if it will work in a wifi router with the 3g plugged into the router15:52
Kiloshmm...15:52
Trixar_zaI'm one of those weird people that install Windows versions of stuff so I can have access to my old configuration files16:06
Kilosah16:06
Trixar_zaI even imported my firefox bookmarks post crash using the backed up json file16:08
Kiloswhat caused the crash?16:09
Trixar_zaProbably something related to Xorg16:13

smilehow about you16:54

Kilosweird hey17:00
magespawnno error messages17:00
Kilosya17:00
smileKilos: gedit sucks :'(17:01
Kilosthat same error17:01
smilebut yeah, it works :/17:01
Kilosna gedit works17:01
smilenotepad++ is clearly much beter :)17:01
magespawnsmile does that work on linux?17:01
smilemagespawn: on Wine, it works very well. It could be ported very easily to native Linux, since it's not using so many Windows specific features (read: Windows API)17:02
Kilosi wont touch notepad unless im on win with no choice17:02
magespawnnot the same notepad17:03
magespawnthis one is much more Kilos 17:03
Kilosonce ive gone a bit further in python ill try idle again on the stuff that works17:03
Kilosah17:04
Kilosbut wine sucks too17:04
magespawnwhat version of python do you have?17:04
Kilos2.7.3 i think17:04
Kiloswait i check17:04
Kilosya thats it17:05
Kiloshi psychicist 17:05
psychicisthi Kilos 17:05
Kilosnow i want some of the ibid code17:06
Trixar_zasmile: I prefer Geany myself17:06
Kilosthe part that makes coffee17:06
magespawnmaybe the idle is looking for a different version17:06
Kilosthey both outa the repos so i dunno17:07
smileTrixar_za: yeah :) it's obviously better17:07
smilewill try to install it now :)17:07
Trixar_zaI have to disable the message window, but otherwise it runs pretty well :P17:09
Trixar_zaI have Notepad++ on Windows, but I don't like how it spaces python code17:10
smilewhich plugins do you have installed? :)17:10
Trixar_zaI just used the basic install :P17:10
smilenotepad++ works good for batch, XML, HTML etc ;)17:10
smileTrixar_za: that's boring :p17:11
Trixar_zaIt's just that it's python's tabs use spaces instead of tabulation17:11
Trixar_zaI know it's against the Python standards, but I like tab17:11
Trixar_za:P17:11
magespawni like the way it does html, never tried it python use idle or eric for that17:11
Kilosdid your idle work with hello world magespawn ??17:13
magespawnyes17:15
Kilosthats not fair17:15
magespawni could not see anything wrong with your code either17:15
Kilosi have no idea why it said syntax error17:16
Kilosgrrr17:16
Kiloseverything first tests me17:16
magespawnjust don't go and do a reinstall because of it17:17
Kilosive had both drives with win blocking the bad sectors going all day17:17
Kiloshahaha\17:17
Kilosso maybe thats a workaround17:18
Kilosmaybe i must reinstall idle17:18
smileTrixar_za: me like tab too ;)17:18

Kilosi removed firefox with last install to save data17:22
Kiloswill install again now and see17:22
Kilosai! 27.4m17:23
Kilosand they upgrade every coupla weeks17:23

Kilosyour dropbox is sick17:29
magespawnmaybe very be, had my files in it for too long17:31
Kilosaw now i forgot who i was in dropbox17:31
Kilosmaybe they will show when signed in17:31
Trixar_za[17:29:58] [Trixar_za] Some extensions are memory hogs17:32
Trixar_za[17:30:28] [Trixar_za] Not to mention both the Firefox and extension authors don't take memory leak reports seriously17:32
Trixar_zaI found the biggest memory hog to be Adblock Plus even if it doesn't have a list loaded17:32

yolandrehi all.19:26
yolandreneed some more advice.... what is the recommended swap area size?19:26
Squirmhi19:27
Squirmyolandre: how much ram do you have?19:27
yolandre8gb19:27
Squirmmaybe make it about 6gb then19:27
yolandrethanks!19:27
Squirmkind of works off a sliding scale. I think 4gb ram you should have 4gb swap, but I think the higher you go, the less swap19:28
Squirmhmm19:28
SquirmAs a base minimum, it's highly recommended that the swap space should be equal to the amount of physical memory (RAM). 19:28
Squirm"In reality, if you use hibernation you need what was outlined in the relevant paragraph above, otherwise you need as much swap space as your system will use - which actually may be very little in a modern hardware setup"19:29
Squirmswap is only used if you use up all your ram19:29
Squirmit's like virtual memory on windows, starts writing bits that are meant to go to ram, to your hdd19:29
yolandregot you there. actually opted for 4gb. should there be a future need i'll resize. only using ubuntu for private & basic computing.19:31
superflyrecommended swap used to be twice RAM19:32
Squirmand you can increase your swap partition at a later point - if you have unused hdd space19:32
superflynowadays with more than 4 gigs swap is almost unnecessary19:32
superflyyolandre: 4 should be more than enough19:32
Squirmyeah, I see that now19:32
Squirmand it actually makes sense19:32
yolandreshould hope so... had to do with 1gb previously and 12.04 worked just fine.19:33
Squirmsuperfly: any idea when ubuntuforums came back up?19:33
yolandrethe last time i manually create unix or linux partitions was about 10 years ago....19:33
yolandrenope - none. i was on last noght when it dropped & noticed it on at about 02:00 this morning. was seeking help with a tricky installation and wanted to share the solution.19:34
superflySquirm: not at all. forums are places where n00bs give each other bad advice.19:43
yolandreanyways, should someone need to know the topic can be read at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/234019.19:49
yolandreyou asked me last night to post the solution?19:52
