[01:22] <lindol> hi all :)
[02:57] <Sicnus> While installing, my system hangs at: "Preparing to install Ubuntu Gnome"  This is UG 15.10 btw.
[02:59] <Sicnus> Does anyone know the default user/pass for UG 15.10?  I'd like to log in on TTY1

[12:33] <Sicnus> Doubt anyones awake but...   If I've tried to install Ubuntu like 4x times and it kept hanging @ "Preparing to install Ubuntu Gnome" but then I switched the position on my hard drive where swap and / was... and it worked perfectly... could that be an indication of something wrong with that sector of the drive?

[13:47] <Sicnus> I think I accidently deleted something essential from my sources.list.d/ dir :/
[14:05] <toXel_> Sicnus: the equinox ppa you've added has no support for wily
=== toXel_ is now known as toXel
[14:08] <Sicnus> toXel, heh...  I know it's lame, but I just nuked and re-installed.  :(   [I'm so bad]
[14:09] <Sicnus> there are a lot of outdated icon sets out there that don't support Wily apparently
[14:09] <Sicnus> course, it did just come out
[14:11] <toXel> I think you should just have changed the sources.list entry of the repo from wily to trusty
[14:12] <Sicnus> toXel, been about 6 years since I've used Linux... that and being old... I've forgotten stuff.  :)
[14:12] <toXel> :D
[14:12] <toXel> Shit happens ;)
[14:12] <Sicnus> aye... it killed my OCD knowing I couldn't cleanly apt-get update
[14:13] <toXel> Oh yea I know that feeling...
[14:14] <Sicnus> So I've been around Linux since 96'....  (in one way or another) but have just switched back using it as a desktop.  There are a lot of improvements on things... but in some ways.... a lot of the old issues still seem present.  Can't put my finger on it... just a feeling
[14:27] <toXel> My first experiences with Linux was in 2006 with Ubuntu. And IMHO Linux has changed a lot since then
[14:29] <Sicnus> toXel, true...   but a lot of the same struggles I've seen with UI / DE stuff seems present.  But you are right... leaps and bounds of progress has been made.
[14:29] <Sicnus> plus, a lot of it could be my own personal bias :)
[14:30] <toXel> Yes bias has a big role in the Linux world unfortunately
[14:30] <Sicnus> The one thing that does blow my mind is the # of flavors of linux
[14:30]  * Sicnus does Jackie Chan face
[14:30] <toXel> But there's something for everyone ;)
[14:30] <Sicnus> hehe
[14:31] <Sicnus> course, I'd love to smack Mark up for picking Unity over GNOME.   *sigh*
[14:31] <Sicnus> If he'd have hired me...  it wouldn't have happened. :)   [Applied for a community lead position at one point in time @ Ubuntu]

[15:32] <Sick> what the heck is the little > < arrow at the bottom left in GNOME? heh.  it shows my Hexchat icon currently....  It looks like a list of open things, but... it doesn't show anything but Hexchat (and I have about 5 other apps open)
[16:43] <toXel> That's normally where the notification icons are placed in Gnome 3.18
[16:44] <toXel> Except when you have TopIcons installed
[16:45] <toXel> @Sick ^
[16:45] <meetingology> toXel: Error: "Sick" is not a valid command.
[16:45] <toXel> Sick: ^
[16:49] <Sick> toXel, lol
[16:49] <Sick> toXel, I'm not a valid command, what!?!  :)
[16:54] <toXel> Yea I've written (at)Sick
[16:54] <toXel> Seems like we can write commands to the bot with @
[16:54] <toXel> @help
[16:54] <Sick> just teasing... and thanks, I've installed TopIcons... much better
[16:54] <meetingology> toXel: (help [<plugin>] [<command>]) -- This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin. You may also want to use the 'list' command to list all available plugins and commands.
[16:55] <toXel> @list
[16:55] <meetingology> toXel: Admin, Channel, Config, MeetBot, Misc, NickAuth, NickCapture, Owner, and User
[18:13] <Sick> toXel, you know where in dconf I can change the Top Bar to show Day (LONG) & Month (LONG) Example:  Sunday, November  instead of:  Sun/Nov ?
[18:13] <toXel> Use gnome-tweak
[18:13] <toXel> There you can change it
[18:14] <Sick> :/   It doesn't seem to let you change from short to long... but perhaps I'm just missing it.
[18:14] <Sick> one sec
[18:14] <toXel> Oh but I don't think that you can change the date format there sorry
[18:15] <Sick> yeah...
[18:15] <Sick> I think it's a dconf thingy
[18:16] <toXel> I'm not thaaaaat experienced in dconf stuff :D
[18:17] <toXel> Google is your friend
[18:18] <toXel> Or duckduckgo ;P
[18:18] <Sick> hah
[18:18] <Sick> I'm just digging through dconf
[18:18] <Sick> "What could go wrong?"
[18:18] <Sick> ;)
[18:19] <toXel> With gsettings you can list the whole dconf tree recursively and grep it
[18:22] <Sick> I'm surprised I'm the only one that has been bothered by that.
