[18:43]  * wxl pokes polson8 
[18:44] <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 :)
[18:45] <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 :)
[18:46] <wxl> hahahahahah
[18:46] <wxl> there is the whole right wing crowd. i'm sure they'd be down with the modern country :)
[18:47] <polson8> oh... I steer clear of politics... not sure that crowd would like me
[18:47] <wxl> hahaha
[18:48] <wxl> oh time to help some people out
[18:48] <wxl> chat soon
[18:48] <polson8> ok have fun :)
[19:12] <bkerensa> :D
[19:47] <wxl> back
[19:47] <wxl> hi bkerensa
[19:49] <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 :)
[19:50] <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?
[19:54] <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 :)
[19:55] <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> :)
[19:56] <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.
[20:01] <wxl> polson8: i think a lot of the other desktop environments get in the way of work.
[20:01] <wxl> (going back to lubuntu)
[20:02] <polson8> I've been pretty happy with icewm :)
[20:03] <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)
[20:04] <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
[20:05] <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
[20:12] <polson8> nice, i'll have to try that since I've only been using icewm most of the time.
