knightwiseI was taking a look at the Asus Nexus7(version 2) in the shop last week08:26
knightwiseperhaps looking at getting one, but i was wondering , if I want to run Ubuntu on it .. is that gonna be ubuntu TOUCH or full ubuntu  ?08:27
knightwiseOr is "full ubuntu" no longer supported ?08:27
DJonesknightwise: Not tried ubuntu on mine, but I can fully recommend the N7(2)08:28
DJonesYou can't dual boot as I understand it (at the moment anyway)08:28
popeyknightwise: yes, touch08:29

knightwiseUbuntu touch.08:50
popeyknightwise: sure, if you want to test and file bugs ☻08:54

AlanBellThis Thursday is the end of the world economy, the start of the zombie apocalypse and the release of Ubuntu 13.10 http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/2555-saucy-salamander-release-party/10:33

MooDoobigcalm: no don't think so, i've done it with vmware in the past, vm on the server vdk on a nas14:02
bigcalmMooDoo: ta. Saves me trying to find a spare power socket for an external hdd14:03
bigcalmOh, hang on. I have an interface that works from 2 usb ports. That might do for now14:03

davmor2bigcalm: just dd the file table ;)14:14
bigcalmI've opted to not overwrite the data. Table alterations are much quicker14:14
bigcalmdavmor2: how much space would one give an vm for throwaway testing?14:18
davmor2bigcalm: depends on the testing!  I tend to use the vbox defaults if I'm not doing anything serious with the vm or 60GB if I'm doing work stuff with it14:20
bigcalmI shudder to think that 8gb isn't enough for small scale testing. Will go with the defaults then, ta14:21
bigcalmI have a 500gb drive that is currently empty, but no need to waste space14:21
TheOpenSourcererTotally OT but rather a nice & smiley story: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/15/jon-bon-jovi-walks-fan-down-aisle-wedding14:23
davmor2bigcalm: again it just depended on what you were doing, being the dev that you are if you were planing on building Software for example that might need more space than if you were just testing if you could get your setup the way tou like it :)14:23
bigcalmdavmor2: testing deployments of websites. So finding out which additional packages one will need when setting-up from a fresh 12.04.3 image14:24
bigcalmdavmor2: the sites themselves aren't big, just hope the OS and packages aren't either :)14:25
davmor2no 8Gb should be find for that,  if you were building debs on it you might need more space depending on the size of the app folder you start with14:26
bashrcWhen is 13.10 officially out?14:26
directhex8gb is fine for most things14:26
directhexnot building LO though14:26

bashrcI havn't tried the beta.  Is Mir usable?14:27
bashrc(expects breakage)14:28
davmor2bashrc: mir isn't default except on the phone/tablet14:28
bashrcah14:28
davmor2directhex: or firefox, or chromium, or linux + modules, or ..............14:29
ali1234quite a lot of things really14:29
davmor2bashrc: xmir is installable but it was deemed not ready enough for multimontitor and bypass to use by default14:30
ali1234is it possible to apt-get install the touch UI + Mir on x86 yet?14:31
bashrcIs it mir which will handle features like multitouch?14:32
davmor2ali1234: you can have shell on by just install unity8 but it isn't a desktop it's just windowed effectively14:32
ali1234"shell"?14:33
ali1234does that mean i get the same as i would get on a phone, except in a window, without emulation?14:33
davmor2ali1234: yeap14:34
ali1234cool14:34
ali1234so would that be Mir on Xorg on XMir on Mir then?14:35
davmor2ali1234: but as I say not as a desktop just a window on your desktop.  you can then fullscreen it and use it as a tablet style desktop :)14:35
ali1234sure, that's close enough for me14:35
davmor2ali1234: only issue is because it is effectively touch you can have fun trying to use the edge gestures14:36
ali1234i have a tablet PC and i'm sure it would be much easier to test on that14:36
ali1234yeah the edge gestures are a pain14:36

mgdmBigRedS: yes, of course it is16:33
diddledanshauno, archaic means no longer valid :-p16:33
BigRedSof course it is?16:33
mgdmno, it means 'deprecated', I suppose16:33
ali1234well, firstly my firefox is stuck with the US dictionary and i don't know how to fix it16:33
ali1234i've fixed it several times but it always goes back16:33
mgdmBigRedS: it's a word, it's spelled correctly, the fact the rest of the phrase isn't there is irrelevant to a spell checker16:33
