ali12341popey: what is the systemd conversion sprint?11:54
ali12341*when11:54
popey16/17 jan i think11:54
ali12341are you going to convert user session packages?11:55
popeyhttps://plus.google.com/u/0/107564545827215425270/posts/Fenok4AFeAb11:55
popeyme personally, no.11:55
ali12341i mean ubuntu in general11:55
popeypitti is the best person to ask11:55
popeyhe leads the systemd migration11:55
ali12341is it still planned to use upstart as session init?11:55
popeypass11:55
ali12341the reason i ask is because we use upstart in xubuntu and it is really bad11:55
popeyi have heard mention of replacing that but dont know when11:55
ali12341for example, it starts services multiple times for no reason11:56
popeyyeah, poke pitti11:56
ali12341i would really like to get away from using it, but we rely on it for the indicator services11:56
ali12341(which also happen to be the same ones it starts multiple times for no reason)11:56

knightwiseI got me an old 15 inch TFT display at the trift store , hooked it up to my Pi and am going to use it as my 'main machine' for a couple of days.18:50
* knightwise is working on an article about running linux on slower machines 18:50
brobostigon:)18:50
zmoylan-pii first connected my pi to an ancient high end monitor via it's scart connector as i don't have and hdmi monitors :-)18:51
knightwiseCool ! :) Scart ! now thats something I hadn't thought about18:51
knightwiseI could have hooked it up to an old Tv here :)18:51
knightwisebut .. using it on an older 15 inch TFT is not bad actually18:51
daftykinsthen you would've never read a single letter18:52
knightwisethe smaller screen does give you a lot more 'focus' on what you are working on18:52
zmoylan-pii had a frankencable which was vga one end and hdmi the other and had it work on laptops but the pi doesn't put out enough leccy to make it work so i had to get... creative18:52
knightwiseCurrently running : Terminator ,split into 3 windows ..18:52
knightwiseLinks up top (with Slashdot on it)18:52
knightwisewordgrinder bottom right18:52

daftykinschrome is not the second coming everyone acts like it is19:59
mappsfilm time20:02
zmoylan-pipicked up a few dvds from oxfam today myself20:02
m0nkey_daftykins: maybe not. at least it lets me watch netflix without screwing around with wine and silverlight20:02
penguin42daftykins: My experience is that both Firefox and Chrome go through bad patches, annoyingly sometimes they both go through bad patches at the same time20:02
zmoylan-pithat's when you lapse and use opera :-)20:03
zmoylan-pi::spit::20:03
daftykinsm0nkey_: mmm fair enough, but that's your platform choice ;)20:03
mappsi like opera!!!20:03
daftykinspenguin42: indeed :D +1 to that20:03
zmoylan-pii used to love opera but they've jumped the shark recently20:03
mappswhats wrong wih it now20:04
zmoylan-pinow it's a knockoff of chrome20:04
mapps*with20:04
mappsyea20:04
daftykinsthough i think it's fair to say that for a clean profile freshly opened, RAM usage is higher on a Chrome setup20:04
zmoylan-pitook out a lot of the neat features20:04
daftykinsthough i'm only able to comment on Windows there20:04
zmoylan-piopera used to be the swiss army knife of browsers.  did a little of everything20:04
mappsi lways thought it was fast and less resource intensive than others20:05
mappsand i liked it:)20:05
daftykinsi never ran it20:05
zmoylan-piand i still depend on it on mobile as no other browser does half it's bag of tricks20:06
zmoylan-pirss, server side compression, sync bookmarks, don't drive moylan nuts with whizz bang pretty useless features...20:07
mappscan sync bookmarks on chrome20:07
mappslogin and synch between devices20:07
zmoylan-pibut that would involve using... you know... chrome :-)20:07
mapps;]20:07
zmoylan-piand completely misses on the don't drive moylan nuts list of requirements.  and google killed their rss thingy20:08
mappsah ye reder20:08
mappsi use feedly20:08
zmoylan-pion mobile i use the builtin in rss of opera, at home i use newsbeuter20:09
zmoylan-pion the pi20:09
ali1234you can sync on firefox too but you need a firefox account which has no other purposes20:09
daftykinsmapps: sync you say, is that like firefox sync? ;)20:09
ali1234firefox also has built in rss20:09
daftykins(i don't even use it XD) just pretty fair to say they have feature parity these days, for the most part20:09
zmoylan-pibut is incredibly slow on android i find, and won't run on dumbphone :-)20:10
ali1234yes, firefox on android is terrible20:10
daftykinsi thought about setting up firefox sync on my own host once, but never got around to it20:10
mappswell20:10
zmoylan-piand isn't too fast on desktop with 1gb of ram20:10
mappstou login to your gmal ac basically20:10
daftykinslol desktop with 1GB RAM :P what *is* fast, thoughts coming to mind of being thrown on the scrapheap? :D20:10
ali1234well no modern browser is going to be fast in 1gb20:11
zmoylan-piqupzilla zips along20:11
zmoylan-pimidori isn't too shabby either20:11
zmoylan-pi/lite/ browsers20:11
ali1234but they are barely browsers20:11
zmoylan-pithey work well enough, have adblock, play the occasional java game20:12
daftykinsi'm quite chuffed with my latest silly image, for any Battlestar Galactica fans out there - https://www.dropbox.com/s/x808ztxk7b0jsfw/toaster.jpg?dl=020:12
knightwisedaftykins: i'm a fan, but i'm afraid I dont get the context of your picture21:06
daftykinsyeah it was too vague i guess :( "fracking toasters"21:10
knightwiseaah21:10
* knightwise gets it21:10
daftykins:D21:12
