[07:16] <ducasse> hi all
[12:06] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:20] <R13ose> Hi
[14:21] <R13ose> I am still getting this: http://pastebin.com/9Up28Z60
[14:22] <daftykins> oh well
[14:22] <daftykins> ask in #ubuntu or #kubuntu
[14:23] <R13ose> okay, thanks
[14:23] <R13ose> How come Linux is not more popular?
[14:24] <daftykins> values about freedom only get you so far, just look at the issues you can't solve :)
[14:26] <R13ose> yes but other OSes have even worse problems
[14:28] <daftykins> nope
[14:28] <daftykins> only for those who can't set them up
[14:29] <R13ose> really?
[14:30] <lordievader> Many people don't even know what an operating system is, let alone that there are more...
[14:31] <R13ose> Microsoft seems to have a monopoly on pre-loaded OSes.
[14:32] <daftykins> yep, naughty tactics
[14:40] <BluesKaj> yeah, just try to buy a pc or laptop without an OS
[14:41] <daftykins> it wouldn't save you much anyway, i remember when that idea started going around about declining the licenses on firing up a new machine and asking for a refund
[14:41] <daftykins> at least you can custom build desktops and do whatever OS wise :>
[14:41] <R13ose> How do you buy a laptop without an OS at a store?  I only find ones that have OSes
[14:42] <daftykins> you don't
[14:42] <daftykins> but you could go to a company that sells laptops with Linux, they do exist
[14:43] <R13ose> examples?
[14:43] <BluesKaj>  a friend managed to buy one, but he still paid the list price.
[14:43] <daftykins> honestly this is too basic for you to be asking, use a search engine.
[14:43] <R13ose> :P
[14:45] <BluesKaj> R13ose, over here computers aren't loaded with windows until the machine is sold...usually  unless they're on sale
[14:45] <lordievader> Dell used to sell Ubuntu machines, not sure if they still do.
[14:47] <daftykins> yeah developer edition
[14:53] <R13ose> I am never switching to another OS ever again
[14:54] <daftykins> that's nice
[16:29] <reconnect> any here?
[16:30] <nicomachus> yes
[16:30] <reconnect> what's up bro
[16:31] <reconnect> can i do a question?
[16:31] <nicomachus> sure
[16:33] <nacc> reconnect: but note, this isn't the support channel
[16:34] <reconnect> what u think about other distributions?
[16:34] <nicomachus> I was gonna wait to see the question first. haha
[16:34] <nicomachus> reconnect: I like a lot of them. Mint, Gentoo, Arch are all nice. Haven't tried many others.
[16:34] <nicomachus> They all have their nice things and not so nice things.
[16:35] <reconnect> nicomachus: cool
[18:26] <EriC^^> hey Bashing-om
[18:27] <EriC^^> hi pauljw
[18:30] <daftykins> :O \o
[18:31] <EriC^^> hey daftykins
[18:43] <pauljw> hey EriC^^ :)
[18:44] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: ! He's our man . What it be ?
[19:41] <EriC^^> hey Bashing-om
[19:41] <EriC^^> how is your evening going?
[19:42] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: You are having fun now . Booting issues to keep you occupied :)
[19:42] <EriC^^> lol
[19:42] <EriC^^> you know me too well :D
[19:43] <Bashing-om> Well, just glad you are on the channel to keep us all in-line . I am still way behind booting up EFI systems .
[19:46] <EriC^^> i'm glad to be here, cozy bed smokes and chips
[19:47] <EriC^^> the weather really took a turn this past couple weeks, at least here in lebanon
[19:48] <EriC^^> did the nvidia work?
[19:51] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Well ., nVidia - yes and no .. But I am in a happy state with it . in 14.04 there is no open source driver support but even on the vesa driver the performance is better than with that old ATI card . 16.04 on the spinner has no issues with the new nVidia card .
[19:53] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: ^^^ but but but .. 14.04 on my minimal build my own - even after messing about a bunch with 16.04 - remains my perferred system .
[20:00] <EriC^^> same here, 14.04 is pretty dear to my heart
[20:01] <daftykins> last of the sane editions!
[20:01] <daftykins> well, for server at least >:)
[20:09] <Bashing-om> well .. I must tell the truth .. last sane edition for me was 10.04 ! Then came upstart and all the ither releated changes - not for the good .
[20:13] <EriC^^> i've yet to try 10.04
[20:14] <EriC^^> i'm pretty curious, many people say good things about it
[20:20] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: But 10.04 was a long time in the past . It is history now . I am real slow about abou picking up on 16.04 - systemd .
[20:21] <EriC^^> same here just the very basics
[20:21] <EriC^^> i dont really know much upstart either
[20:21] <EriC^^> just service .. restart and such
