[18:43] * wxl pokes polson8 [18:44] polson8: if it's modern country we might have an issue ;) [18:44] polson8: if you like, on the other hand, bluegrass, we even have our own bluegrass jam :) [18:45] 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] hahahahahah [18:46] there is the whole right wing crowd. i'm sure they'd be down with the modern country :) [18:47] oh... I steer clear of politics... not sure that crowd would like me [18:47] hahaha [18:48] oh time to help some people out [18:48] chat soon [18:48] ok have fun :) [19:12] :D [19:47] back [19:47] hi bkerensa [19:49] 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] polson8: i don't NEED lubuntu for my current laptop but i like it a lot better. [19:50] if you don't need lubuntu on it, what else would you run? [19:54] polson8: well, e.g. i might run ubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu etc [19:54] oh good. I was afraid you were talking about windows :) [19:55] ew heck no [19:55] when i got my new laptop, it came preloaded with windows 7 [19:55] i never even booted it before i had linux on there [19:55] :) [19:56] 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] polson8: i think a lot of the other desktop environments get in the way of work. [20:01] (going back to lubuntu) [20:02] I've been pretty happy with icewm :) [20:03] so you're not using a desktop environment? [20:03] (for full disclosure, i use lubuntu but i've replaced openbox with awesomewm) [20:04] 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] is it pretty easy to change the window manager on lubuntu? [20:04] yeah [20:05] cool. maybe just for kicks, I'll try several. i'll be back in a few minutes... [20:05] i think i just set lxsession to use the default window manager [20:05] and then used update-alternatives to change that [20:12] nice, i'll have to try that since I've only been using icewm most of the time. === slangase` is now known as slangasek
