[02:18] <wrst> Howdy Omnifrog
[02:19] <Omnifrog> hiya wrst
[02:19] <wrst> How's it going?
[02:19] <Omnifrog> the bios tweeks worked
[02:20] <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!
[02:21] <Omnifrog> damn uefi
[02:21] <wrst> Yeah such a pain
[02:21] <wrst> I liked easy to mess with old school bios
[02:22] <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
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <Omnifrog> so I had it working just fine with one to begin with
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <Omnifrog> so this is the first SSD in 4 years, lol
[02:26] <Omnifrog> but damn, I missed the speed the whole time
[02:38] <wrst> SSD so fast
[02:43] <Omnifrog> now I have the song Greased Lightning in my head
[02:49] <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
[02:50] <Unit193> Using indicator-sound/pulse, or alsa?
[02:50] <Omnifrog> I don't even understand the indicator plugin
[02:51] <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.
[02:52] <Omnifrog> I had the indicator plugin in the panel for a few days. it didn't do anything
[02:53] <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
[02:54] <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
[02:55] <Omnifrog> I've been a loyal fan and user of KDE for many years but the latest is .... garbage
[02:56] <Omnifrog> crash report popups all the time
[02:57] <Omnifrog> fonts are all screwed up
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <Omnifrog> I couldn't undo it without downloading a 3rd party theme and switching to it
[03:00] <Omnifrog> I tried to go back and fix it this morning but gave up fairly quickly
