JonathanDWhat is up with that email?13:15
jedijfwhat email?13:27
JonathanDjedijf: to us-pa13:32
JonathanDIs he asking if it's ok to download? or if his speed tests are correct?13:33
ChinnoDogor does not understand downloads13:39
jedijfeither way, can't download Linus13:44
jedijfneeds the thing in your basement13:44
square-r00ti do not think i would want to download linus. i have trouble enough trying to understand the dude in interviews, i wouldn't want to have to try to make the dude feel welcome in my home14:35
KyleYankanNot to mention that the dude is.... a huge jerk15:33
TheLordOfTimeJonathanD: ChinnoDog: my take is that guy doesn't understand downloading things, his question is not based in any actual information15:43
TheLordOfTimeand has no real basis for his question there, "Why does one thing download faster than another method"?15:43
ChinnoDogMore importantly, who cares?15:45
TheLordOfTimemhm15:45
ChinnoDogShort of explaining TCP/IP and Bittorrent to him, probably nothing else that could be said.15:45
TheLordOfTimenow, someone asking for a 12.04 disk, that is a better question for the mailing list xD15:45
TheLordOfTimebut, that shows that they're too lazy to download the ISO15:46
ChinnoDogor don't know how15:46
ChinnoDogOr have dial-up15:46
KyleYankanor no cd burner15:46
ChinnoDogOr their carrier pigeon is out of service15:47
TheLordOfTimeheh15:47
KyleYankanIt's got avian fly15:47
TheLordOfTimeflu*15:47
KyleYankanflu* (damnit)15:47
TheLordOfTime"avaian fly"15:47
TheLordOfTimeavian*15:47
TheLordOfTimeof COURSE it's got avian fly, it's a bird! :p15:48
KyleYankanpretty fly15:49
jedijfwas it jeff looking for a 12.04?16:45
* jedijf didn't check personal email since the linus reply16:45
TheLordOfTimelemme look16:56
TheLordOfTimei can't tell on my phone, it's buried under the bug spam16:56
TheLordOfTimejedijf: no it was a Ross Savage16:56
TheLordOfTimeclaims to be out near Allentown16:56
jedijfhmm, the jeff was near allentown as well  - gonna recommend makelv for them (already did for jeff)16:57
TheLordOfTime:)17:01
TheLordOfTimeanyways, did you know that 13.04 is going to EOL before 12.10?17:02
JonathanDTheLordOfTime: thats kinda what LTS means.17:06
JonathanD12.10 is an LTS, 13.04 isn't.17:06
JonathanDoh, 12.10 isn't either, nevermind17:07
JonathanDI forgot the EOL schedule changed.17:07
TheLordOfTimeJonathanD: um... 12.04 is an LTS... :p17:08
TheLordOfTimeLTSes i think are still every 2 years :p17:08
TheLordOfTimehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases lol17:08
jedijfyeah but then they shorted the interval releases17:08
TheLordOfTimemhm17:09
jedijfshorted the support time and extended the lts - it's ultimately a push17:09
TheLordOfTimemhm17:09
jedijfplus inteval riders /usually/ go up every 6 mos or they get stuck in past like me on some boxes17:09
TheLordOfTimeheh17:10
TheLordOfTimei tend to keep my machines as LTS, but i also have a decent number of backported packages... :P17:10
JonathanDI'm still running ubuntu -200.0417:10
jedijfor don't touch boxes for years - and that's a good way to see how long since touched17:10
jedijfand wth am i holding on to it17:10
jedijflol17:10
* jedijf rubs timex/sinclair17:10
JonathanDjedijf: got any dell chargers? :p17:10
jedijfJonathanD: a few - the weird rectangular ones with the wire showing17:11
JonathanDI'm looking for a round one.17:11
JonathanDI have the rectangles with the angled top17:12
jedijfJonathanD: i'll start checking - i have some at home - some in storage - etc17:12
JonathanDI still can't get nvidia driver to work on josh's laptop :/17:12
JonathanDnv works, but won't minecraft17:12
jedijfgo to makelv - the linux fold will help you ;)17:12
TheLordOfTimeJonathanD: don't forget to optirun minecraft17:12
TheLordOfTimeotherwise it dies :P17:12
JonathanDjedijf: I think it's just too old.17:13
TheLordOfTimeJonathanD: what's the system model and graphics card?17:13
JonathanDI had it working at one point with the blob driver.17:13
JonathanDBut it wouldn't use the full screen.17:13
JonathanDTheLordOfTime: don't know offhand.17:13
JonathanDI can find out at 3.17:13
TheLordOfTimemmkay17:13
TheLordOfTimebecause i've heard issues with machines older than 5 years with minecraft17:13
TheLordOfTimeheard of*17:14
JonathanDTheLordOfTime: it runs ok with the blob driver but won't use the full resolution of the display.17:14
JonathanDand it doesn't scale it, either, it actually just uses the top left of the screen and leaves bars on the right and bottom.17:14
JonathanDnv fills the screen but has worse performance.17:15
TheLordOfTimeprobably old enough that the drivers don't work completely (nvidia)17:15
TheLordOfTimebut again, that's why i asked system model and graphics card :P17:15
JonathanDAs it is I have to install an older version of the nvidia drivers.17:16
TheLordOfTimewheee, spam... >.>17:16
TheLordOfTimesometimes i hate being a bugs triager, I get a ton of bug notice spams >.>17:16
