[19:50] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: Hey, hey .. what is ?
[19:50] <acheron-a> just chillaxin here, like i mentioned before i am new to ubuntu-unity, running it full time now
[19:51] <ducasse> hi Bashing-om, how have you been?
[19:53] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Where there is lifem there is hope - still had a pulse this AM .. now I be procrastinat'n on a beautiful day ! .. I like IRC'n ('buntu) best of all in the world . Your world ?
[19:54] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: I can use unity, just not my DE of choice :)
[19:55] <nacc> Ben64: tell us how you really feel :)
[19:56] <Ben64> hard to with the !ohmy
[19:56] <nacc> Ben64: yeah :)
[19:56] <Ben64> i swear like a sailor in every other channel :D
[19:57] <nicomachus> yep
[20:00] <acheron-a> Bashing-om: what DE is your top choice?
[20:01] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: Well consider I value funtionality and performance as a 1st parameter . I use xfce4 .
[20:04] <acheron-a> i was in love with Mint for a while but ran into a grub2 failure when i tried to do a clean install, and i mean even boot sect of the disc was written zeros, and this has always loaded any distro, so i loaded ubuntu 16.04.2 and been running with it
[20:05] <acheron-a> i really got a bit bothered by the 'tude of the mint folks, it like when something is wrong, its the users hardware or something they are doing, sound has never worked right on Cinn since 17.3 for example
[20:06] <ducasse> Bashing-om: still got a pulse her as well, plus snow finally melting (again). cat happy as a pig in... you know ;)
[20:06] <ducasse> *here
[20:06] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: Best thing about running ubuntu is the support structure(s) .
[20:06] <BluesKaj> think I'll close up for now...take care all, TTYL
[20:06] <Bashing-om> Location: Heber Springs, AR ~ Cond: 84°F (29°C), Clear ~ Atmo: 48%, 9.0 mi (14.5 km), 29.93 in (1013 mb) ~ Wind: 14 mph (23 km/h), SSW, N/A°F (N/A°C) ~ Time: 14:55
[20:07] <Bashing-om> ducasse: I got lots of sunshine - Finally !
[20:07] <acheron-a> lots here in Houston today
[20:08] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: Awwhhh Yes - Houston - I once spent a week there one night :P
[20:09] <acheron-a> yeah, there is nothing wrong with my hardware, in fact, its Linux certified and the fact that the install only fails when you have a network connection on the computer, well thats mint problem, not anything i am doing
[20:09] <acheron-a> houston is hot and humid but its my home
[20:10] <acheron-a> HP-EliteDesk-800-G1-SFF here with Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 4GHz
[20:11] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: Should scream ! .. How much ram ya got onboard ?
[20:12] <acheron-a> 16 GB and 512 GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD
[20:12] <acheron-a> 4.5 sec boot time
[20:14] <Bashing-om> acheron-a: Well ! Should have no problems running release 20.04 !
[20:14] <acheron-a> well i am getting used to the change
[20:16] <acheron-a> whats good website for news and tips about Ubuntu?
[20:18] <ducasse> Bashing-om: spent all day doing translations, i hate trying to translate terms we just don't have words for. finished with the big one now, though, so nearly done for this release :)
[20:20] <Bashing-om> ducasse: ^ That is what I have  in respect to how the English translations of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Real tough to cross relate ideals .
[20:24] <OerHeks> ducasse, some translations are not cool > harddisk - harde schijf / festplatte / disco duro /disque dur .. even in zulu harddisk is harddisk
[20:30] <ducasse> OerHeks: yup, in some cases i just have to use the english terms, things like certain email headers headers etc simply have no equivalent term in norwegian. i could just translate directly, but nobody would understand what is meant ;)
[20:30] <ducasse> Bashing-om: yup, my oldest friend is a priest, so i heard all about that during his studies :)
[21:13] <Bashing-om> Back from one of those rare system freezes . Still no idea of the why :(
