| wxl | polson8: if it's modern country we might have an issue ;) | 18:44 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | polson8: if you like, on the other hand, bluegrass, we even have our own bluegrass jam :) | 18:44 |
| polson8 | yes I'm here. :) didn't realize a different window was beeping. I'd give the bluegrass a listen, but honestly my Pandora setup would probably worry some people. It started out as country and somehow songs like "bad girlfriend" started popping up. of course, just because I'm a geek doesn't mean I'm good at things that don't have a command prompt :) | 18:45 |
| wxl | hahahahahah | 18:46 |
| wxl | there is the whole right wing crowd. i'm sure they'd be down with the modern country :) | 18:46 |
| polson8 | oh... I steer clear of politics... not sure that crowd would like me | 18:47 |
| wxl | hahaha | 18:47 |
| wxl | oh time to help some people out | 18:48 |
| wxl | chat soon | 18:48 |
| polson8 | ok have fun :) | 18:48 |
| bkerensa | :D | 19:12 |
| wxl | back | 19:47 |
| wxl | hi bkerensa | 19:47 |
| polson8 | wxl, regarding when I mentioned ubuntu running slow earlier... I changed the processors setting in virtualBox from 1 to 2 and it's a lot better now. still thinking to try lubuntu as soon as I can download it though :) | 19:49 |
| wxl | polson8: i don't NEED lubuntu for my current laptop but i like it a lot better. | 19:50 |
| polson8 | if you don't need lubuntu on it, what else would you run? | 19:50 |
| wxl | polson8: well, e.g. i might run ubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu etc | 19:54 |
| polson8 | oh good. I was afraid you were talking about windows :) | 19:54 |
| wxl | ew heck no | 19:55 |
| wxl | when i got my new laptop, it came preloaded with windows 7 | 19:55 |
| wxl | i never even booted it before i had linux on there | 19:55 |
| wxl | :) | 19:55 |
| polson8 | that was about my reaction! yeah, ironically the fact that windows is part of the purchase price is a deterrent when I think about upgrading. my laptop is over 5 years old. | 19:56 |
| wxl | polson8: i think a lot of the other desktop environments get in the way of work. | 20:01 |
| wxl | (going back to lubuntu) | 20:01 |
| polson8 | I've been pretty happy with icewm :) | 20:02 |
| wxl | so you're not using a desktop environment? | 20:03 |
| wxl | (for full disclosure, i use lubuntu but i've replaced openbox with awesomewm) | 20:03 |
| polson8 | not on this desktop. the ubuntu VM looks like one would expect ubuntu to look... I haven't broken anything yet, but then only installed it recently, like the weekend | 20:04 |
| polson8 | is it pretty easy to change the window manager on lubuntu? | 20:04 |
| wxl | yeah | 20:04 |
| polson8 | cool. maybe just for kicks, I'll try several. i'll be back in a few minutes... | 20:05 |
| wxl | i think i just set lxsession to use the default window manager | 20:05 |
| wxl | and then used update-alternatives to change that | 20:05 |
| polson8 | nice, i'll have to try that since I've only been using icewm most of the time. | 20:12 |
