Joe_knockKilos: Hello.15:23
Kiloswb nlsthzn 15:55
nlsthznyhx15:56
nlsthzngnome-shell went ded on me15:56
Kilosoi15:56
Joe_knockeeew gnome16:01
Kiloswb kbmonkey 16:01
nlsthzngnome-shell 3.14 with the right extensions is awesome16:02
nlsthznvery very very fast, looks great 16:02
nlsthznvery functional and also dies on you like most DE if you mess with Wine to much :D16:02
kbmonkeyTa kilos :)16:02
Joe_knockXFCE is what works on older machines (like mine)16:03
Kilosya actually not too bad on older machines16:04
kbmonkeyCan anyone tell me why, when I dd the ubuntu iso to usb, it won't boot? Just hangs the bios post test :(16:04
nlsthznperhaps bad download, bad write or something in BIOS16:04
Kilosbecause the usb isnt formatted to mbr state i think16:04
kbmonkeyThe MD5 is good16:04
nlsthznthere is UEFI and legacy and all manner of shinanigans these days16:05
nlsthzndd writes raw image so no need to make changes to the usb16:05
Kilosyou have unity going kbmonkey 16:05
kbmonkeyMy pc is pre-uefi :)16:05
kbmonkeyNope kilos. Can't install. 16:05
Joe_knockbooting from USB can be a nightmare with that EUFI stuff. Burn to a disk for convenienve16:05
Joe_knock*ce16:05
Kilosthe disk utility has the goodie in to fornat sticks to mbr then unetbootin makes a good live stick16:06
kbmonkeyI like totally forgot to bring blank dvd's back from the office :d16:07
Kilosyou know how to format stick to mbr man16:07
Kilosdidnt we do this some months ago16:07
kbmonkeyYes I do :) and it works for every other distro fine. Strange, is all. 16:07
kbmonkeyOh well16:08
Kilosdoesnt the dd command mess up the mbr bit?16:08
kbmonkeyNope16:08
kbmonkeydd makes an Exact copy16:08
Kilostry unetbootin16:09
kbmonkeyI have16:09
Kilosoi16:09
kbmonkeyIts still writing the disk16:09
Kilosfirst format stick to fat3216:09
nlsthzndd is typically very good16:09
kbmonkeyI love dd16:10
kbmonkeyCould be I need a new pc ;)16:10
Kiloslol16:10
Kilosno man i use old pc too16:10

kbmonkeyI oath, its writing to psb at 2mb/s it's going to take all night 16:11
Kilosfor one iso?16:11

kbmonkeyIt's halloween Kilos. I'm installing linux on a dead badger16:14
nlsthzntrue story16:14
Joe_knockAre you installing ubuntu on a 128MB ram machine?16:14
Kilosman we dont do halloween16:14
kbmonkeyhttp://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml16:17
kbmonkeyThe dead does not discriminate16:17
kbmonkeyNo Joe_knock I have more RAM, maybe my usb ports are haunted :)16:18
Joe_knockThe burn to USB is quite slow. You sure the stick isnt corrupt?16:18
kbmonkeyIt may be Joe_knock. I use it for debian/mint/live gamers ISO's without problems. But it may be broken. I'll keep that in mind :]16:21
* kbmonkey just looking for reasons to get new hardware16:22
Kilosai!16:22
kbmonkeySimilarly, copying to my extenal drive / backup is also slow. It's not just unetbootin. 16:23
Joe_knockwe should take scrap hardware and build 1 massive local server with the parts.16:23
Joe_knockWhat is the transfer rate?16:23
superflyOhi Joe_knock16:26
Joe_knock0_/ superfly 16:27
kbmonkeyWe can build skynet!16:27
Joe_knockon 2MB ADSL16:28
Kiloskbmonkey, if that pc is so slow it will never run 14.1016:28
* superfly is back on his N900 for the moment16:28
kbmonkeyThe pc is decent Kilos, its just usb that is acting up16:31

kbmonkeySneaky!16:33
Kilosill even give him a 4g in place of it16:33
Kiloshe actually has the 4g already and keeps forgetting to return it16:34
