[05:22] <EriC^^> hey Bashing-om
[05:22] <EriC^^> how's it going?
[05:35] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Recooperating ! .. I got a new nVidia card .. too new for open source support in 14.04 - took me a while to finger that out .. and a 256 Gig SSD, have 16.04 installed and presently tweak´n away . How much fun have you been having ?
[05:35] <EriC^^> awesome!
[05:37] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Was a lesson well learned trying to get a open source driver to install that does not exist !!
[05:37] <EriC^^> hehe
[05:38] <EriC^^> i got a nice new laptop, pretty happy with it except for the keyboard just a little
[05:38] <EriC^^> laptops have such low keys (some of them anyways)
[05:38] <EriC^^> my old one had good key travel
[05:39] <EriC^^> also need to work on the car a little!
[05:40] <Bashing-om> At the time .. when I tried to boot up when the card was swapped out ( black screen ) jad me wondering if the card was compatible with my ole mother board .
[05:40] <EriC^^> which card is it?
[05:41] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: a GT 710 ) low end budget ... on 14.04 even with the vesa driver it is impressive .
[05:41] <EriC^^> cool
[05:41] <EriC^^> did you try 16.10 anywhere yet?
[05:42] <EriC^^> i usually download the iso and put it in a vm when the releases come out
[05:42] <EriC^^> haven't done so with yakkety yet :D
[05:44] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Not yet .. I swapped a spinner out for the SSD, may be a while re-arranging to install any other OS . Think I may keep the SSD as stand alone (primary ) .
[05:45] <EriC^^> cool
[05:46] <Bashing-om> speaking of cars .. had my share of fixing on cars here lately ... drive belt, radiator, thermostat, water pump .. and on the daughterś car the starter . :))
[05:57] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: I still use an old mechanical keyboard .. cause I too like that key travel .. and my fingers seem to fit pretty good .
[05:58] <EriC^^> nice
[05:58] <EriC^^> yeah the key travel is nice!
[05:58] <EriC^^> i'm getting a little more used to this one but it feels "wrong"
[06:00] <Bashing-om> Well .. that is about the way I feel about 16.04 and xfce 4.12. But I will get used to it .. hey though I still miss release 10.04 !
[06:01] <EriC^^> hehe
[06:09] <ducasse> morning all
[06:11] <EriC^^> morning ducasse
[06:12] <ducasse> hi EriC^^ - how are you today? :)
[06:12] <EriC^^> good thanks, yourself? :)
[06:12] <Bashing-om> ducasse: o/ .
[06:13] <ducasse> fine, thanks :) a bit tired, was to a late-night theatre last night and saw dracula - awesome stuff :)
[06:13] <ducasse> hi Bashing-om :)
[06:13] <EriC^^> cool
[06:14] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Dracula - on stage or film ?
[06:15] <ducasse> on stage. really creepy use of light and sound etc.
[06:16] <EriC^^> booting into windows! brb
[06:16] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Wonderful . A great experience I bet. Been a long time since I had an opportunity .
[06:17] <ducasse> it was, went with my cousin, she was absolutely scared stiff :) what about you Bashing-om - finishing up for the night?
[06:20] <Bashing-om> ducasse: considering closing down .. Got 16.04 minimal installed onto that new SSD today and think´n bout what all yet I have not done .
[06:21] <ducasse> Bashing-om: nice! just reinstalled my laptop with an ssd and minimal 16.10, will be upgrading the desktop today. the server will stay on 16.04.
[06:22] <Bashing-om> Well, we got to learn 16.04 systemd .. sooner is better than later .
[06:24] <ducasse> Bashing-om: if you go the the systemd freedesktop.org site, there's a link called 'systemd for administrators', a nice introductory series.
[06:24] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Mir available as an option on 16.10 ? (yet ?)
[06:24] <ducasse> Bashing-om: as an option, but of no interest to me :)
[06:25] <Bashing-om> Yeah, I am pretty happy wuth X as it is !
[06:26] <ducasse> aiui, they are aiming for stable unity8 in 17.10, with possible default in 18.04...
[06:26] <ducasse> i'm staying with x, though.
[06:28] <SonikkuAmerica> Bashing-om: Personally, I'd prefer something that ran on Wayland. :) Especially as someone with Intel GPU hardware
[06:28] <Bashing-om> Wellll .. TBH .. if I had my druthers, we still be doing initate with initab . Worked and was easy to understand .
[06:29] <ducasse> SonikkuAmerica: i've been trying out sway (i'm an i3 user), actually works pretty well.
[06:35] <SonikkuAmerica> Cool
[06:35] <SonikkuAmerica> I'm a GNOME user, and Wayland adds an interestingly useful dimension to how it works
[06:38] <ducasse> yes, i was actually considering installing gnome just so i can try the wayland session :)
[06:51] <SonikkuAmerica> In 3.22 Wayland is the default for most distros
[06:53] <ducasse> interesting.
