[08:35] <lordievader> Good morning.
[12:55] <BluesKaj_> Hiyas all
[13:21] <elfy> hi BluesKaj_
[13:22] <BluesKaj_> hey elfy, what's happening today ?
[13:22] <elfy> I am completely undecided :p
[13:23] <elfy> mostly a lot of looking out of the window and mmmm :)
[13:23] <elfy> actually I'm patiently waiting for something to break this cycle
[13:24] <elfy> might have to look at ubuntu or kubuntu or something :)
[13:27] <BluesKaj_> elfy, running a lighter weight 'buntu due to computer age and HW or ?
[13:28] <elfy> what I've got here would run either ubuntu or kubuntu - so just choice :)
[13:32] <BluesKaj_> right , then there's the new plasma 5 for kde which is ok but not what would call a step forward looks wise , IMO of course
[13:32] <elfy> yea - had a quick look last cycle towards the end
[13:33] <BluesKaj_> some ppl love it , I'm kind of neutral
[13:33] <elfy> :)
[13:33] <elfy> I'm not that partial to kubuntu tbh - I tried it a couple of times - probably need to try it longer than a day :)
[13:34] <BluesKaj_> I installed it on the laptop, guess I'm stuck with it since I promised I'd test it
[13:35] <elfy> ha ha ha
[13:35] <BluesKaj_> plasma5 that is
[13:35] <BluesKaj_> love Kubuntu/KDE ...unity and gnome etc aren't my cuppa tea
[13:37] <lordievader> BluesKaj_: You make it sound like it is a burden...
[13:37] <BluesKaj_> apps are snappier since increasing the RAM to 6G
[13:38] <BluesKaj_> plasma 5 is to some degree ,since it has so many limitations
[13:38] <BluesKaj_> not very configurable atm
[13:39] <BluesKaj_> that's why I'm using my old desktop more these days :)
[13:39] <lordievader> It does the config I want ;) But it is not yet up to the height of Plasma4.
[13:41] <BluesKaj_> I should qualify configurable, I mean in the "theme and look" sense
[13:45] <BluesKaj_> suppose I could upgrade this pc to 15.04, but I like having a stable OS/machine available
[23:23] <ChogyDan> hi all, I have an old computer where both the 14.04 and 14.10 kernels don't work, but 3.17.4 does.  In your opinion, should I upgrade now?  Will vivid be usable?  Or is it still in the super unstable phase...   I'm curious with the thought that if I run the testing release, I could report bugs before release rather than after
[23:25] <maxb> In your situation I'd just stick on 14.10 with a custom kernel
[23:34] <ChogyDan> kk, thanks
