| cimbakahn | Hello! | 09:18 |
|---|---|---|
| cimbakahn | Is anyone here? | 09:18 |
| cimbakahn | Does lubuntu come with any PPA's in its default installation? And is it faster than lxle? | 09:20 |
| cimbakahn | Does lubuntu come with any PPA's in its default installation? And is it faster than lxle? | 16:54 |
| phillw | cimbakahn: there are ppa's but they are for development work. lxle is a slightly more resource hungry community re-spin of lubuntu. | 16:55 |
| cimbakahn | Oh! Thank you phillw! | 17:17 |
| cimbakahn | I didn't see your response. | 17:17 |
| cimbakahn | I had a feeling that lxle was more resource hungry than lubuntu. | 17:18 |
| wxl | it definitely weighs more. | 17:18 |
| wxl | and we (lubuntu/ubuntu/canonical/etc) don't support it | 17:18 |
| wxl | so support is a potential concern | 17:19 |
| wxl | were i to be brutually honest, i really don't see it's value. | 17:19 |
| phillw | cimbakahn: if you are adventurous, we always seek new testers. wxl is the Lord and Master of testing, more details about that role can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams#Quality_Assurance_Team | 17:19 |
| cimbakahn | Looks like i will be installing lubuntu right after i get 2 jobs done here. | 17:19 |
| phillw | So you can have read before you are assimilated into the collective :) | 17:20 |
| cimbakahn | HAHAHA! | 17:20 |
| wxl | yeah come join us! | 17:20 |
| cimbakahn | You crack me up! | 17:20 |
| wxl | cimbakahn: if you mean phillw, he's british. forgive him. :) | 17:20 |
| phillw | a sense of humour is a requirement. Teach you, we can... Laugh, you must :) | 17:21 |
| wxl | hahahah i can just imagine you saying that in a yoda voice phillw XD | 17:21 |
| cimbakahn | I have to go thru my bookmarks and my pictures, then i will install it and i will come back here. | 17:21 |
| wxl | cimbakahn: we usually do testing on virtual machines, btw. | 17:22 |
| cimbakahn | Problem is that will be taking me a day or 2 because there is alot of bookmarks and pictures. | 17:22 |
| * phillw hands up to teach about using KVM instead of the crap called VBox | 17:22 | |
| phillw | cimbakahn: we have just fired a release out, about 6 months to go until next one.... Plenty of time for you to learn and become familiar with the system. | 17:23 |
| cimbakahn | To me virtual machines is no way to test an operating system. You have to install it and try it for a week to test it properly. | 17:24 |
| wxl | if you're referring to exploratory testing, yes | 17:24 |
| cimbakahn | I never heard of KVM. I will have to read up on that. | 17:25 |
| phillw | pre-alpha is very good at rendering a machine u/s :) Once we get past alpha1 I install the candidate onto my machine and use it 'production' | 17:25 |
| cimbakahn | I just noticed above phillw reminded me of Yoda. | 17:29 |
| phillw | cimbakahn: it is a part of http://linuxpadawan.net/ several lubuntu people are masters on there for padawans | 17:30 |
| phillw | cimbakahn: I did an introduction to KVM a while back, so you can have a read of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities/Classroom/Raring#Section_3 and feel free to ask any questions | 17:31 |
| cimbakahn | From what that page reads. It looks like i would have some mentors. | 17:32 |
| phillw | cimbakahn: say yes to the next request.. | 17:35 |
| cimbakahn | I have been on linux for a year and 8 months. I will never go back to windows. I could never have as much fun on windows as what i do linux. Besides all this, Microsoft has screwed me over 3 times and i'm not giving them a chance to do it again. | 17:36 |
| phillw | you'll fit in well :) Did you get the invite? | 17:36 |
| cimbakahn | phillw. Do you see my text in the other room? | 17:44 |
| phillw | yes :) | 17:46 |
| phillw | you joined as i asked | 17:46 |
