[09:01] happy to read ubuntu-gnome will merge with ubuntu desktop vanilla [09:02] so both ways 16.04 will result in vanilla gnome [09:02] so ill test 16.04.2 gnome soon [09:02] see if it pleasures me for my business [09:02] system76 already said to work with a 'tuned' gnome [09:05] lotuspsychje: Nice [09:08] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/ubuntu-gnome [09:08] so if gnome will not be a seperate flavor, #ubuntu-gnome channel will close?

[09:10] ;) [09:10] hey ducasse [09:11] lotuspsychje: on my list, wanted to wait until ubuntu 17.04 with 4.10 kernel [09:11] but now im on manjaro with RR, so i can buy it now :) [09:11] baizon: yay! [09:11] i have to spent 450$ [09:11] wow [09:11] mobo & cpu or ram also? [09:12] also ram [09:12] 8GB costs 100 [09:12] ssd inside? [09:12] got an Samsung 500GB SSD [09:12] evo or pro? [09:12] evo [09:12] baizon: checked samsungs website for firmware update? [09:12] none [09:12] yes i did check it [09:13] baizon: great, tnx for feedback [09:13] lotuspsychje: do those wipe the disk? [09:13] ducasse: they warn about data loss, but no, ive tested it [09:13] lotuspsychje: thx [09:13] ducasse: some of those early models needed read/write firmware on evo [09:14] i have two 850 evos, was thinking of updating the fw... [09:14] baizon: you will switch to gnome also? [09:15] ducasse: well i think as baizon just said, there might be none for the 850 [09:15] lotuspsychje: no, i switched to kde [09:15] i just cant handle gnome [09:15] baizon: feels light in use? [09:15] lotuspsychje: very [09:15] lotuspsychje: that depends on the fw version you already have :) [09:16] baizon: well ive used gnome in the early ubuntu days..was pretty light n nice on that time [09:16] lotuspsychje: im just not sure about manjaro [09:16] but havent used gnome for years now.. [09:16] maybe ill switch to kubuntu [09:16] ducasse: ah i see :p [09:16] lotuspsychje: i did use gnome 2, then with 3 i switched to unity [09:16] baizon: what is it that you dont like about gnome 3? [09:17] just for feedback.. [09:17] lotuspsychje: ui, just everything isnt pc-like, its for tablets and stuff [09:17] feel sluggish to use? [09:18] well what shuttleworth said i find a bit controversial.. [09:18] says not to interfere with gnome ways, but still they will create an ubuntu-minded gnome? [09:18] probably a skin [09:19] Ben64: make it look abit more ubuntu? [09:19] i don't like the whole 'need gpu' to run a desktop thing [09:19] i want to use my gpu for gpu stuff [09:19] yeah agree on that [09:19] yes, also he cant go to kde, because he was the one that fired the kubuntu head guy [09:20] i mean i did run compiz back in the day [09:20] but then i got old enough to drink :P [09:20] lol [09:20] but i have to say kde is pretty smooth :) [09:20] wayland cant do compiz right? [09:20] also that was on rh9 [09:20] so that dates that [09:20] no, thats why unity 7 is dead [09:20] oh.. [09:20] i don't know if wayland can do anything [09:21] well big distro's use it atm..so there must be a reason wayland is good? [09:21] well i mean i just don't know about it [09:21] or will that be thenext unity8 broken dream? [09:21] wayland actually is getting pretty usable [09:22] i think wayland has better security than xorg for sure [09:22] i remember reading that somewhere, it's supposed to be better in many ways, like more modern and stuff [09:23] 18.04 will have wayland? [09:23] very likely [09:23] what about mir [09:23] is that still a thing [09:23] mir is for unity8 right [09:23] ooh maybe [09:24] wonder if that's dead now? [09:24] yep, mir was now relegated to embedded aiui [09:25] anybody have experience in selling buying bitcoin? lotuspsychje ? [09:25] i have [09:25] should have got in when bitcoin was <$1 [09:25] wouldn't be hanging out here will all you free os people anymore [09:25] jk, i'd still be here, probably more often even [09:26] i was trying to buy some bitcoin, and i saw they sell for $1297/bitcoin, with current price being $1197 in google, and it said the guy been on the site for 3months with 1000+trades and 622people, so if you do the math it's like an average of $16000 profit per month, wth is this real? [09:26] EriC^^: sorry, no, there's a bitcoin channel on freenode i know [09:26] EriC^^: wait what [09:26] if half the people bought $500 in bitcoin, that's $50 profit each time, 50x1000 that's 50,000usd he made in 3months O.o [09:27] who's buying btc for over market value [09:27] it's ~$1175 currently [09:28] buy for more than that and you're getting taken [09:28] pretty sure there's a whole hacker scene on bitcoins [09:28] yeah, they sell more cause it's a direct one, like you can meet the guy in person and give him cash and get bitcoin, or through western union [09:28] so gotta be carefull out there [09:29] and it actually sells? [09:29] also some people want it to be anonymous, like instead of sending through their bank to fund their bitcoin [09:29] https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/hamza72/ [09:29] huh. [09:29] maybe i should start selling btc [09:29] it says he has 1000+ trades, 622 people, started 3 months ago [09:29] yeah bitcoins is big business [09:29] there are only 5 people in my country selling, seems pretty hmm [09:30] *sha shing* ? [09:30] know a guy who does bitcoin server seeding [09:30] complicated stuff [09:30] oh yeah that's tough to get into [09:30] i made a bit on dogecoin when that was new [09:30] mined a bunch [09:31] !info bfgminer [09:31] bfgminer (source: bfgminer): multi-threaded multi-pool ASIC, FPGA and GPU bitcoin miner.

[12:31] "how dare you highlight me", probably... [12:36] then he should shut off notification links [12:37] or not autojoin channels he's not following anyway, maybe. [12:37] yup [12:37] so, are you still on debian? [12:38] yes [12:38] what is it you prefer to ubuntu? [12:40] I'm using it as a back fall in kubuntu goes kaput...they aren't much different except for the default installed packages [12:40] in case [12:42] right. i'm getting a little annoyed with the "autostart all the things!" thing in ubuntu, i've disabled and removed a lot of default stuff. [12:42] I used debian many yrs ago, but when i discovered kubuntu it was easier to use in my early linux days and ai stayed with it [12:43] i've been thinking about switching to sid, but first i'm testing out arch. kind of like it so far, it reminds me of slackware in some ways. [12:44] I'm still on kubuntu 17.04 and will probly start testing 17.10 in the next few weeks [12:45] me too :) the laptop is for testing stuff :) [12:46] lots of the kubuntu testers use VMs as testbeds, but ai've never found them reliable so I still dual boot [12:46] I've switched to debian-jessie on the laptop ...very stable [12:47] besides, testing on hardware is better. if everybody tested on vms there would only be so many different results. [12:48] jessie is dead stable, but too old for my use. there are certain things i use that 'need' to be newer versions. [12:51] the reason i switched to debian on the laptop was I was getting false hardrive errors on kubuntu 16.10 and It would revert back to the same errors even after using e2fsck to fix it. plus wifi was giving me problems [12:55] weird, but these things happen. i got some ata errors from my bluray writer after burning an iso yesterday, thinking of ripping it out. [13:01] ducasse: does brasero work ok , or do you use wodim? [13:02] k3b has been hopeless on my machines for over 2 yrs now, I files a couple of bugs , but they didn't receive much prority so I just switched to wodim in the terminal [13:03] i used xfburn, actually. worked like a charm. i didn't want a ton of deps, so brasero and k3b were both out. [13:04] i _could_ have used wodim, but for some reason i've always hated dealing with it directly. [13:06] right [13:07] xfburn doesn't have lots of functionality like k3b, but for just burning an existing iso it's usable. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [13:46] ducasse: im always being nice :p [13:48] i know you are :) [13:49] lotuspsychje: just set up an lxc container to isolate wine, i need it for winbox [13:49] ducasse: their working at our flat roof here [13:49] ducasse: ah yeah that router app you needed [13:49] working? doing what? [13:50] ducasse: place epdm roofing, you know that? [13:50] (yes, it's for the mikrotik boxes.) [13:51] ducasse: its from the same material firestone uses for its tires [13:51] ducasse: they give 50 years garantueed life & waterproof on it [13:51] oh, right, for waterproofing or something? [13:51] yep [13:53] good, will they finish today? [13:54] ducasse: no, the second roof tomorrow (if it doesnt rain) [13:55] lotuspsychje: better hope for nice weather then :) [13:55] yeah :p [13:55] ducasse: well the first guy that cam to see, said 12.000 euro [13:55] ouch :-( [13:56] ducasse: so now we found a second opinion [13:56] will do it for much less [13:58] like 6000 for the material now [13:59] lot of money for just a roof :p [13:59] absolutely, but better than water dripping inside :) [14:00] exactly [14:00] we want it all made up once and for good [14:01] and it feels so much better when all those things are fixed :) [14:01] ducasse: nothing to find as winbox alternative, too bad, all forums show wine [14:02] ducasse: we had water damage with the last snow, so we wanna avoid that in the future [14:02] i can use the web ui or ssh, but winbox has a few things the others don't. [14:03] i found this really nice router monitoring thing - routers2. uses snmp to get data, draws nice graphs and calculates totals etc. [14:04] cool [14:04] etherape for routers :p [14:05] it generates web pages that i serve locally with apache, works like a charm :) [14:05] nice [14:05] hi philipballew [14:05] lotuspsychje: http://www.steveshipway.org/software/index2.html [14:07] summary screens lookin handy [14:10] hey nacc [14:11] lotuspsychje: morning [14:11] \o nacc [14:11] how's everyone this morning? [14:12] nacc: we had a very noobie troll morning [14:12] oh excellent [14:12] sad to have missed it :) [14:12] +the regular non-lts 17.04 oops its not LTS? [14:14] no [14:14] 16.04 and 18.04 are lts [14:14] lol [14:14] lotuspsychje: context? [14:15] nacc: i mean we having a bunch of such users [14:15] lotuspsychje: oh! that was the troll? [14:15] severals [14:16] great [14:17] one sec, puppy is clearly eating somethig she's not supposed to [14:17] (too quiet) [14:20] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu-1704-desks&num=1 [14:21] * nacc hasn't played a non-steam-board-game computer game in ... 10 years? [14:21] :p [14:22] lotuspsychje: I don't trust phoronix, it's led me astray in th epast [14:22] oh? [14:24] especially with graphics advice [14:24] so i stay away now when it come sup on google, which it seems to do a lot [14:26] kk [14:27] never read phoronix, the focus on graphics/gaming is not to my taste. [14:27] and very specific high-end rigs [14:27] which i think are not relevant [14:28] also, honestly, who honestly cares about gaming on linux? [14:28] err, not two honestly's :) [14:28] and by who, i mean, who is going to make it better? [14:29] steam, i guess, but they aren't doing the graphics work itself [14:30] imvho, if you want to do gaming you probably shouldn't be on linux. [14:30] yeah [14:30] if that's your #1 use case [14:33] i'm curious if wayland will make any difference there. of course the drivers still need to improve, but it's my impression wayland throws up fewer roadblocks than x. [14:42] https://cubethethird.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/the-current-state-of-gaming-on-wayland/ [14:43] thats few months ago [14:43] ducasse: i think it will hopefully encourage some improvements at the now common graphcis stack [14:43] improvements that it felt like x was never going to make [14:45] ducasse: did you read this1? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/android-apps-linux-desktop-anbox [14:46] lotuspsychje: yes, we've had a few users complain that it doesn't work, even though the github page says "pre-alpha, expect crashes, not for end users" :) [14:46] ducasse: but its a start right, good idea? [14:48] lotuspsychje: of course, although i personally don't care about it. i have no need for it. [14:49] that snap runs totally unconfined, though, which is probably a really bad idea with random android apps. [14:49] lol yeah [14:50] the lack of apps on touch were a pain for many users [14:50] that was where this could be necessary, now it seems more like a fun idea than useful to me. [15:02] !grep [15:02] grep is a command-line tool that finds a string in a file or a stream. Grep can be recursive through directories and searches can be simple or complex. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/grep [15:08] nacc: see what i mean with whole morning trolls :p [15:08] yeah [15:08] there should be a !shutup trigger [15:08] lol [15:09] we have a lot of triggers suggestions, but nobody cares anymore so it seems nacc [15:09] lotuspsychje: :) [15:09] i got one fix in a while back [15:09] yeah that hw kernel? [15:10] we need a modern trigger adding by the volunteers [15:15] yeah [15:16] something that records our sugests [15:17] hmm perhaps ill talk to genii about it [15:17] yeah, that should be relatively easy to bot itself [15:17] or put them on the wiki? [15:18] nacc: the factoid wiki, or a wiki that would records our suggestions? [15:19] lotuspsychje: i'm not sure which makes sense [15:19] i think the latter [15:19] as someone has to approve the suggestion to the factoid [15:19] also good idea [15:19] but right now, our attempts get lost in ubuntu ops timezones [15:20] so in theory we have to repeat over and over for someone to see and has time to add [15:20] not very practical [15:22] lotuspsychje: yeah [15:28] DArqueBishop: can you explain that statement? [15:28] DArqueBishop: think 17.10 wont have gnome? [15:29] lotuspsychje: I don't know. I'm hardly an expert and saying "I'm pretty sure" gives me room to be wrong. [15:30] think ive read somewhere it might happen, as a test before 18.04 [15:30] I should say, "I don't know for certain, but I'm going by what I read." [15:30] (What I thought I read.) [15:30] lets c what the future will bring us [15:33] welcome krypto_ [15:34] hey lotuspsychje [15:55] wow, kde is pretty awesome to be honest :) [15:55] it feels much "newer" then unity [16:02] twm is all you need ;) [16:19] ruh-roh, he's back... [16:36] thank god i dont have nvidia :D so many problems with it when using bleeding edge :> [16:40] none i've ever heard about :) [16:40] you must be going out of your way to be awkward to get problems with nvidia [16:40] there is a bug with ubuntu-gnome + nvidia 375 .. well, only on gnome [16:41] dkms is not created [16:41] oh 17.04 talk? [16:41] jups [16:42] heh this years releases are moot to me ;D all the cool kids run LTS! [16:42] * Menzador installs Arch onto daftykins ' main machine. [16:43] no thanks, i'm not a computer chav [16:43] ricing my OS [16:44] daftykins: don't use that ghastly word, please :) [16:45] * daftykins chases ducasse with a packet of rice [17:02] pizzatime laterz guys [18:06] I've tried Fedora Gnome, Ubuntu Gnome and several other options and came back to Ubuntu Unity, I think that people don't even know how good this we have it now (I respect that some might prefer Gnome though) [18:06] technically it *is* gnome :> [18:07] Unity shell vs. Gnome shell [18:08] yes, obvious [18:14] fedora gnome has some big pros, such as the behaviour of notifications and the bleeding edge of packages [18:14] or even wayland [18:14] but drivers for the video card are a massive headache [18:15] yes, ofc, it's a very fine system, but for my desktop work, despite being years and years old, this Unity desktop is miles ahead, esthetically and in terms of workflow [18:16] fedora is hilariously backwards when it comes to non-free drivers [18:16] wayland is still not totally ready, for example I had terrible fps in steam games under wayland, had to run gnome under xorg [18:17] daftykins, I can life with rpmfusion etc., but it's still such a better user experience to get it all ready out of the box on ubuntu [18:17] live*
