Omnifrog | I now has no hassle SSD boot drive | 02:20 |
wrst | Awesome e | 02:20 |
wrst | SSDs are great | 02:20 |
Omnifrog | it took a couple of stabs and some review of the mobo manual but I WIN! | 02:20 |
Omnifrog | damn uefi | 02:21 |
wrst | Yeah such a pain | 02:21 |
wrst | I liked easy to mess with old school bios | 02:21 |
Omnifrog | amen | 02:22 |
wrst | Thanks Microsoft and apple bunch of losers | 02:22 |
Omnifrog | the stupid part about it is the original build of this box started with an SSD | 02:22 |
Omnifrog | a shitty OCZ drive | 02:22 |
Omnifrog | that died inside of the first rear | 02:23 |
Omnifrog | year | 02:23 |
wrst | Yes had one of those such crap, I have had great luck with the Samsung SSD drives | 02:23 |
Omnifrog | so I had it working just fine with one to begin with | 02:24 |
wrst | I had a new ocz SSD it had issues right from the start | 02:25 |
Omnifrog | I fell back to a spinning HDD back then and waited for the tech to improve | 02:25 |
Omnifrog | this was like, 2012 | 02:25 |
Omnifrog | so this is the first SSD in 4 years, lol | 02:26 |
Omnifrog | but damn, I missed the speed the whole time | 02:26 |
wrst | SSD so fast | 02:38 |
Omnifrog | now I have the song Greased Lightning in my head | 02:43 |
Omnifrog | how the hell do I make the xfce system tray persistent and why cant I get a volume control or mixer into it? | 02:49 |
Omnifrog | grr | 02:49 |
Unit193 | Using indicator-sound/pulse, or alsa? | 02:50 |
Omnifrog | I don't even understand the indicator plugin | 02:50 |
Omnifrog | I'm talking about the system tray/notification area | 02:51 |
Unit193 | Need xfce4-indicator-plugin and need to add it to the panel for it to work. Since you're using Ubuntu, I think I'd recommendit. | 02:51 |
Unit193 | Right, of course. You can use indicator-sound or xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin for pulseaudio, or volumeicon-alsa for alsa only. | 02:51 |
Omnifrog | I had the indicator plugin in the panel for a few days. it didn't do anything | 02:52 |
Omnifrog | I wonder if these things are missing because I started off with a Kubuntu install disk | 02:53 |
Unit193 | Indicator plugin is just an interface for other things to show up. | 02:53 |
Unit193 | Omnifrog: Start from Xubuntu core? :P | 02:53 |
Omnifrog | I only added xfce later when I got sick of the new KDE | 02:54 |
Unit193 | I heard you didn't like Plasma. | 02:54 |
Omnifrog | No. I did not | 02:54 |
Omnifrog | I've been a loyal fan and user of KDE for many years but the latest is .... garbage | 02:55 |
Omnifrog | crash report popups all the time | 02:56 |
Omnifrog | fonts are all screwed up | 02:57 |
Omnifrog | the settings and menus are painful. it's like Windows barfed on Linux at a party that went bad | 02:58 |
Omnifrog | I tried to switch themes | 02:58 |
Omnifrog | everything turned translucent purple | 02:58 |
Omnifrog | I couldn't undo it without downloading a 3rd party theme and switching to it | 02:59 |
Omnifrog | I tried to go back and fix it this morning but gave up fairly quickly | 03:00 |
