[00:01] <SocratesII> I'm not sure how long i have before the stable release iso is ready to burn.  i just thought id pop in and offer that the beta installed but did not work long after the desktop appeared.  Two separate full installs.  It was on a macbook pri mid 2008 4,1.  I'll be passing an SSD down from my more current laptop soon and am willing to help debug a
[00:01] <SocratesII> little at that time... or sooner if the stable release does the same.
[00:12] <SocratesII> The first thing im doing is going into the settings which causes a nearly instant freeze.  One thing worth mentioning is that my battery died and is pulled until I see if it is worth replacing.
[00:21] <Eickmeyer> SocratesII: Did you, while installing the beta, uncheck any of the applications you didn't need?
[00:24] <Eickmeyer> Also, a 2008 MacBook Pro (Read: 12-year-old machine) is really too old to run any of the installed applications. Ubuntu Studio is not made to breathe new life into old equipment.
[00:24] <Eickmeyer> I'm guessing it's a complete hardware incompatibility.
[00:30] <SocratesII> The RAN is 4GB, with a Penryn chipset Core 2 Duo (t8300), graphics are GeForce 8600M GT.
[00:30] <SocratesII> ...RAM... not RAN.
[00:31] <SocratesII> It fits from what I see of hardware requirements... even finds and uses the external monitor... finally garps at desktop.
[00:33] <SocratesII> the plan, so far is to try the stable release and, failing that, move on to different ubuntu flavors installing the sutdio package afterwards.
[00:34] <SocratesII> Performance worry wise, I have an old firewire 400 sound card and if it works to revive it, ill add another 2GB of ram and an SSD.
[00:39] <SocratesII> BTW... not yet... so far ive done full installs.
[08:06] <sakrecoer[m]> when i have marked a bug as "affects me" in launchpad... how do i find it again? Doens't seem to be listed in any of the entries in https://bugs.launchpad.net/
[08:09] <sakrecoer[m]> affecting bugs seems to only show the ones i have reported...
[14:10] <StevenJayCohen> <sakrecoer[m] "when i have marked a bug as "aff"> You can subscribe to the bug separately in the right column of the page. Sorry, I don't know how to find "Affects me" ones, but when I want updates, I subscribe.
[14:14] <sakrecoer[m]> <StevenJayCohen "You can subscribe to the bug sep"> Thanks! I ended up doing that, after searching for it for way too long lol
[14:16] <sakrecoer[m]> Thanks a lot @stevenjaycohen:matrix.org :)
[21:25] <StevenJayCohen> So, laptop wifi is working (out of the box), but Ubuntu offers me a proprietary driver (Intel 8265/8275) for my wifi. I'd like to know what the differences are? Difference in range? Anything? Can't find a link to read up on this. Anyone got any ideas?
[21:32] <shaban238> i would say stay with the open source driver and see how it works. if you have problems switch to proprietary
[21:32] <Eickmeyer> StevenJayCohen: Never ran into that myself with Intel.
[21:34] <StevenJayCohen> Yeah, I'm staying on the open one. I was ready to RTFM but I can't find the FM :)
