07:07:01 PMDave-Maydew Im still out with the jury on it
07:07:02 PMagamotto GregInTexas- which is why I am walking away from Google. I should not have to be a lawyer to read it.

07:08:19 PMGregInTexas shouldve printed

07:11:04 PMrick34637 along time viewer but first time in a chat
07:11:12 PMGregInTexas I spread my internet usage around quite a bit agamotto, so google doesnt know too very much about me
07:11:26 PMevermind welcome to the chat, rick34637
07:11:39 PMagamotto GregInTexas- i do as well, but I was going to use more services until this latest burp.

07:15:31 PMajamison5579 but not advised
07:15:42 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF how do I solve the Nvidia driver installed but not activated in Ubuntu 11.10 on a GeForce FX card?
07:15:57 PMagamotto Cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric
07:15:57 PM_Jot_ you can also take a screwdriver and jam it through the touchpad, that sometimes works but also is not advised
07:15:59 PMtalibcyg Hey Robbie my wife is using a Dell Laptop with Lubuntu 11.10
07:16:05 PMDave-Maydew Cinemon?? RobbieF are you talking about Whisky again??
07:16:09 PMevermind that happens if developers have a word in naming a product
07:16:16 PMajamison5579 Carrage Return that is so Type writter
07:16:24 PMOldGuyJim Turmeric is good for the liver.
07:16:27 PMchaslinux My wife got upset when I offered her Windows... ;-)
07:16:41 PMevermind can we call it enterprise;)
07:16:45 PMDave-Maydew My wife only runs Windows
07:16:50 PMagamotto Or your thumb, or your knuckle...
07:16:53 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, that typing thing is called an ID-10-T error
07:17:06 PMEightMilesFromTJ TouchFreeze toggles the touchpad
07:17:12 PMrobgor never had that problem with the touchpad on ubuntu
07:17:17 PMagamotto Sure it doesnt fall under PEBCAK?
07:17:25 PMrick34637 I RUN RCSFOUNDATIONFORVETERANS.COM I GIVE FREE COMPUTERS TO VETERANS AND THEY ARE MOSTLY UBUNTU OS.
07:17:36 PMDave-Maydew installing Ubuntu 10.04 onto another PC on Thursday nice!!
07:17:36 PMevermind ive had sync probs with a touchpad once, thats bout my touchpad probs, but a kernel upgrade fixed that one
07:17:38 PMagamotto coolies
07:17:41 PM_Jot_ agamotto, could be, but the computer always gives me that other error when I try something
07:17:52 PMagamotto heeheheh
07:18:08 PMagamotto Nah, just a Ferengi Captain...
07:18:36 PMGoodGuy dman810 iirc
07:18:46 PM_Jot_ yep, dman810
07:19:10 PMagamotto As long as you arent portraying Joque le Coq...
07:19:21 PMGoodGuy Everything!
07:19:38 PMGoodGuy Whatever you dont want to LOSE!
07:19:48 PMDave-Maydew nice
07:19:49 PMajamison5579 Is it bad that when people mention Canada i immediately think of the old skits on SC TV
07:19:53 PMevermind c:\\documents and settings, or c:\\users
07:19:58 PMevermind depending on win version
07:20:20 PMchaslinux Oh, has anyone experienced problems with Tomboy synchronizing from 10.04 to Ubuntu One then to an Ubuntu 11.10 system? I find 11.10 barfs after downloading a few of the notes from Ubuntu One, mind you I have a couple hundred notes.
07:20:29 PMagamotto ajamison5579- Nah, it just dates you. Now... if you had mention that you think of Molsons everytime you think of Canada...
07:20:48 PMGregInTexas love Molson
07:21:06 PMMichaeliowa ajamison5579: I like SC TV is very funny!
07:21:15 PMGregInTexas $HOME
07:21:35 PMajamison5579 John Candy and Rick Moranis (i think it was him) does not get much funnier then that
07:21:35 PMagamotto RobbieF- it might be a good idea to use the Easy Transfer tool in Win7 to create a USB key backup of those things, along with settings...
07:21:51 PMevermind %HOME% on windows
07:22:14 PMGregInTexas Im starting to forget windows ...
07:22:23 PMDave-Maydew new version of Squeeze out now
07:22:25 PMagamotto GregInTexas- same here
07:22:35 PMajamison5579 Windows are the things that let air and light in
07:22:39 PMDave-Maydew Im going Debian over the weekend
07:23:15 PMGregInTexas Im thinking of actually installing 12.04 when it comes out, and using Gnome3
07:23:37 PMagamotto Doesnt Mozilla have a migration tool for linuxen that gathers everything into one file for you?
07:23:41 PMGregInTexas I use bitnami to encapsulate my server type stuff
07:23:46 PMMichaeliowa ajamison5579: have you seen in John Candy Canadian Bacon?
07:23:53 PMajamison5579 yep
07:23:57 PMDave-Maydew Theres Nvidia issues with Ubuntu 11.04 & 11.10 at the moment, and I want a good Distro that works
07:23:57 PMrobgor RobbieF I would like to be able to backup my ReadyNAS NV+ which has 4 x 2TB drives, I know I can use freenas etc on another pc, but dont really want to setup another pc, any suggestions
07:24:03 PMrick34637 I AM NOW DOWNLOADING ZORIN OS AFTER WATCHING YOUR OLDER SHOW
07:24:03 PMkeith_heaton_ robbie is there a chance you guys could do a pxe epasound explaneing how it work
07:24:03 PMagamotto GregInTexas- i will try 12.04. if I dont like it, I will move over to Mint.
07:24:26 PMajamison5579 one of his best movies by far is Planes trains and Automobiles Michaeliowa
07:24:35 PMagamotto rick34637- You dont need the all caps here.
07:24:42 PMGregInTexas I keep hearing very good things about Mint, agamotto
07:24:50 PMMichaeliowa funny man
07:24:58 PMagamotto GregInTexas- i am getting used to it on my laptop.
07:25:14 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, dont forget that on Windows also folders like Users are localized, so on my system, in the filesystem it is called Users but on the screen it is called Gebruikers which is the Dutch word for Users
07:25:16 PMGregInTexas you have it agamotto? ... like it?
07:25:19 PMDave-Maydew has anyone else had issues with Nvidia cards under Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10??
07:25:26 PMagamotto "Yes, I rebuke my computer with Windows XP..."
07:25:29 PMevermind dave, what kind of issues
07:25:35 PMOldGuyJim Linuxmint 13 with cinnamon desktop is coming soon.
07:25:45 PMajamison5579 XP will break your system
07:25:52 PMchaslinux Recuva on Windows is nice for recovering files.
07:25:56 PMagamotto GregInTexas- So far, so good. A couple of oddities, but nothing that takes more than 5min to get over.
07:26:02 PMGregInTexas Yes, I have a friend that had probs with nvidia
07:26:03 PMMichaeliowa yes that is a very good movie ajamison5579:
07:26:05 PMOldGuyJim Recuva is good.
07:26:05 PMDave-Maydew grey screens, and when I activate the 173 driver it says installed but not activated
07:26:19 PMchaslinux On Linux the tool to use is Foremost (recovering data)...
07:26:30 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- the 173 drivers are problematic on many distros
07:26:30 PMevermind grey screens nope, if you mean like ... black... or not loading, its prolly missing the driver
07:26:35 PMevermind check if the module is loaded
07:26:39 PMevermind lsmod |grep nvidia
07:26:42 PMevermind from a shell
07:26:51 PMchaslinux Recuva is dead easy for Windows users (recovering data).
07:26:52 PMevermind ctrl+alt+f1 for a shell
07:27:04 PMevermind if its not loaded, try to reconfigure the nvidia driver
07:27:06 PMDave-Maydew no when it boots to the desktop its grey and a cut out where *Cough* unity is
07:27:14 PMScorpio55 Dave-Maydew blacklist the Nouvea driver
07:27:21 PMDave-Maydew tried it
07:27:32 PMDave-Maydew it stalls on boot
07:27:33 PMrick34637 I just changed my 11-04 desktop from unity to ubuntu classic
07:27:35 PMevermind if everything else fails, you could get the binary driver from nvidia.com
07:27:40 PMevermind and run it from a shell
07:27:49 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- did you --purge the Nouveau driver in Synaptic?
07:27:51 PMDave-Maydew done that too
07:27:51 PMevermind sometimes that helps
07:27:54 PMScorpio55 Some older Nvidia TI series and FX are no longer supported by Nvidia
07:28:02 PMDave-Maydew Seems to be an issue with Ubuntu
07:28:11 PMevermind yeah, gotta have the right nvidia driver version for your card
07:28:22 PMagamotto 96 works for many laptops
07:28:26 PMevermind on the other hand, does ubuntu classic work?
07:28:31 PMevermind then it could be a compiz thing
07:28:32 PMGarbee Yay, I finally made it.
07:28:38 PMDave-Maydew Im running a Sony VGC-V2M with the GeForce FX 5700
07:28:54 PMagamotto evermind- it is the driver itself. There are problems with non-deb distros as well.
07:28:57 PMchaslinux Robbie, but I think it depends how important your data really is... you dont want to run chkdsk on a drive you suspect is failing, step #1 is cloning the drive, then run all the tools on the cloned drive. But for critical data.
07:28:58 PMevermind enter that in nvidia.com driver chooser
07:29:03 PMevermind itll show you the version number you need
07:29:05 PMDave-Maydew it runs great in 10.04 and 10.10 but then goes mad in 11.04 and 11.10
07:29:14 PMGarbee Recuva is good and testdisk
07:29:18 PMagamotto ow ow ow
07:29:18 PMScorpio55 Some FX series cards no longer supported by Nvidia
07:29:32 PMDave-Maydew Canonical are working on the issue apparently
07:29:37 PMagamotto Boot n Nuke?
07:29:39 PMevermind 5700 sounds kinda new though
07:29:40 PMrick34637 How do I get desktop drapes to work on 11-04 I have avant dock working.
07:29:45 PMevermind well, my lowest is a 6200
07:29:49 PMMichaeliowa Robbie is SpinRite will work?
07:30:02 PMajamison5579 Robbief not in all cases
07:30:10 PMagamotto 5700 is old for nVidia
07:30:15 PMajamison5579 u can use forensics tools to go deeper
07:30:16 PMGregInTexas SpinRite says it works with linux file systems as well
07:30:31 PMajamison5579 sometimes they can peace fragements together
07:30:31 PMGarbee GregInTexas, SpinRite is NOT data recovery. It is disk error fixing.
07:30:33 PMDave-Maydew yeah, my Desktop PC is an all in one Sony
07:30:38 PMGarbee Big difference.
07:30:39 PMevermind ok, its newer than the 440 i had half a year ago
07:30:43 PMchaslinux SpinRite is good... but clone your drive if you can (if your data is critical).
07:30:45 PMGregInTexas thats true, Garbee ...
07:30:46 PMGarbee But SpinRite is FS neutral.
07:30:53 PMagamotto Spinwrite is excellent, but a bit stiff for most users in price.
07:30:55 PMOldGuyJim Ive SpinRite in its various iterations for many years. Excellent piece of software.
07:31:13 PMGarbee agamotto, It is WORTH it, especially when used as preventive maintenance.
07:31:21 PMOldGuyJim I meant to say Ive used Spinrite...
07:31:38 PMagamotto yes, for people who know what they are doing. For the average users... dont know.
07:31:45 PMGarbee apparently a new SpinRite is getting geard for release.
07:31:52 PMDave-Maydew Mach 3
07:31:55 PMOldGuyJim Spinrite is very user friendly.
07:32:01 PMGarbee I recall Mr. Gibson telling that over the past few weeks in SN.
07:32:04 PMDave-Maydew lol RobbieF
07:32:24 PMevermind we shouldnt need those missiles
07:32:27 PMevermind just sayin...
07:32:37 PMDave-Maydew Are these missiles running Windows or Linux?
07:32:40 PMagamotto I would be more impressed by the country that develops the non-lethal gun.
07:32:46 PMGarbee Dave-Maydew, Windows most likely.
07:32:52 PMGarbee If it is the US Military.
07:32:56 PMDave-Maydew as it crashes lol
07:33:00 PMOldGuyJim OS/2 Warp 4
07:33:02 PMGarbee I still cant use it though.
07:33:06 PMGarbee ^^ Office 15
07:33:18 PMDave-Maydew Oh boy!!
07:33:22 PMGregInTexas I used to contract to the military ... no windows, just unix (solaris), linux
07:33:34 PMagamotto Garbee- dont think so... most of the DoD is ditching Windows. if memory serves, most naval ships are being moved over to some *nix flavor.
07:33:35 PMGarbee Yea, it is so ambitious because they need to make a Metro Interface.
07:34:02 PMGarbee agamotto, Yes, "being moved". Not yet fully there. and I know the Air Force is moving to Linux too from Windows.
07:34:14 PMagamotto Sic transit Twitter...
07:34:15 PMGarbee I am guessing any "new" technology would be Linux based though as far as OS control.
07:34:28 PMchaslinux GregInTexas think it depends on the branch of military. I remember a few years ago one navy ship was stuck dead in the water because of some Windows glitch.
07:34:37 PMGregInTexas I contracted to the air force 12 years ago ... windows was non-existant ... all unix
07:34:41 PMDave-Maydew Any ideas which way Debian is going with its next release?
07:34:48 PMDave-Maydew GUI wise??
07:34:50 PMagamotto chaslinux- Which is why the DoD mandate the changes
07:35:09 PMGarbee GregInTexas, The Predator drones were being controlled by Windows PCs, until one crashed and caused the plane to go down... so they switched to Linux within weeks.
07:35:15 PMGarbee ^^ That base switched.
07:35:24 PMOldGuyJim Guitarplay2000. Did you catch what RobbieF said about Debian?
07:35:42 PMGregInTexas I think DoD is now moving primarily to open source ... back in the days I was working with them, they were using Solaris, which was (at the time) not open source
07:35:42 PMGarbee Dave-Maydew, Vanilla Gnome 3
07:35:52 PMagamotto More GIMP fun?
07:35:59 PMDave-Maydew will they keep compatible??
07:36:07 PMDave-Maydew with older hardware?
07:36:25 PMGarbee Dave-Maydew, Depends on how far Gnome 3 comes before Debian releases 7.
07:36:27 PMagamotto I doubt it. Depends on what gets defined as viable.
07:36:30 PMLuiGeek Hello everyone!--from FL
07:36:40 PMchaslinux I used to have a Sun Ultra Enterprise 2... 2 x 200MHz with 2GB RAM... lol old as sin... and slow with Slolaris ;-)
07:36:46 PMagamotto trackballs.... they have saved me from all of that fun.
07:36:53 PMGarbee As of NOW, in *testing* Gnome-shell can work on older hardware w/o 3d acceleration. It just hasnt been piped into any release yet.
07:37:04 PMevermind kinect?
07:37:07 PMchaslinux But those 2 x 9.1GB 15K RPM scsi drives were a dream... speedy.
07:37:19 PMagamotto What? Taelon virtual glass?
07:37:30 PMchaslinux Have you tried it in Linux Robbie?
07:37:50 PMagamotto chaslinux- i think he is about to show us
07:38:01 PMMichaeliowa yes
07:38:21 PMchaslinux Hmmmn..... HUD in the new Ubuntu, speak to your PC.
07:38:23 PMagamotto the camera tracks the edging of the hat?
07:38:27 PM_Jot_ Hillary is so happy now
07:38:35 PMevermind thats pretty nice
07:38:48 PMevermind now, if you fast close and open an eye, can that double click?
07:38:48 PMagamotto cluck your tongue to click?
07:38:49 PMevermind =)
07:38:57 PMajamison5579 Now look at mr frying pan
07:39:04 PMchaslinux Now you can get Neck strain Hillary....
07:39:22 PMGarbee Firefox 10 I hope.
07:39:27 PMevermind youre not looking on the keyboard, are you;)
07:39:37 PMevermind nice tech indeed
07:39:41 PM_Jot_ Hillary really looks nice on that website
07:39:44 PMagamotto Hmmm, this might help my friend Cathy....
07:39:49 PMGarbee I can see it easily.
07:39:51 PMmaxwell6307 will this work on linux?
07:39:56 PMagamotto Ah, now I see it on the hat
07:40:08 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, how can she scroll to the bottom of the website without clicking?
07:40:10 PMGoodGuy I have a very bad neck, so this would really aggravate the pain
07:40:21 PMGoodGuy Looks neat though
07:40:47 PMDave-Maydew So my final question.... whats the best Distro for oldish hardware?
07:40:47 PMevermind click with eye...
07:40:56 PMevermind that would be a good addon
07:41:13 PMGregInTexas an "Easy" button!
07:41:17 PMGarbee maxwell6307, Linux is not listed in the supported OSs in the manual.
07:41:21 PMGoodGuy Or voice recognition software
07:41:25 PMGarbee http://www.naturalpoint.com/smartnav/support/manual/sn-index.html
07:41:28 PMagamotto hehhhheheeh
07:41:34 PMchaslinux How old Dave-Maydew? Pentium 4 1.6GHz or Pentium II-ish?
07:41:36 PMmaxwell6307 ok thanks
07:41:48 PMagamotto This could be just the thing Cathy could use well
07:42:00 PMGarbee Dave-Maydew, LFS.
07:42:01 PMDave-Maydew My Desktop is a P4 3GHz HT with 2GB RAM
07:42:10 PMGarbee ^^ Linux From Scratch
07:42:21 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- Puppy, Debian, Xubuntu
07:42:25 PMDave-Maydew and GeForce FX that works in Ubuntu 10.04
07:42:39 PMcalhydro Wouldnt it work better if it was attached to empty eyeglass frames just above the nose piece cutting down the gaze angle?
07:42:52 PMchaslinux I was using Ubuntu on this Celeron 1.5GHz with 2GB RAM... but 10.04-LTS not 11.10.
07:43:03 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, so, how do you scroll?
07:43:07 PMevermind on the eyelid
07:43:09 PMevermind =)
07:43:16 PMGarbee _Jot_, There is a scrollbar on the right hand side of most windows.
07:43:17 PMScorpio55 Stick with 10.04 for another year lol
07:43:18 PMagamotto calhydro- That would work easily for many
07:43:24 PMGarbee So you click the down arrow on that.
07:43:27 PM_Jot_ Garbee, I know, but without clicking
07:43:28 PMagamotto Scorpio55- agreed
07:43:41 PMDave-Maydew Im concerned if I go Debian 6.04 when 7 comes out will everything still work?
07:43:50 PMGarbee _Jot_, You dont always need to not click to scroll... at first you couldnt. Stop getting pampered.
07:43:55 PMchaslinux Fedora 16 worked well too.... but since I use/promote Ubuntu at work and write about Ubuntu I stuck with Ubuntu at home.
07:44:03 PM_Jot_ Garbee, I just like to ask difficult questions
07:44:06 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- pretty much, yes. Debian is famous for its stability
07:44:06 PMevermind Dave-Maydew, compared to other distributions, debian actually tests it stuff;)
07:44:15 PMScorpio55 Ifaint broke in 10.04 dont try fix it
07:44:32 PMchaslinux Scorpio55: agreed.
07:44:39 PMDave-Maydew Scorpio, what happens after April 2013??
07:44:41 PMevermind official support for linux, thats a rare one anyways
07:44:43 PMagamotto A lot of the changes are tested by a Vorlon I am acquainted with :)
07:44:53 PMDave-Maydew Id like to go GNOME 3
07:44:56 PMOldGuyJim Kosh
07:45:09 PMGregInTexas dang ... google again
07:45:26 PMScorpio55 maybe better support in future kernels
07:45:31 PMchaslinux Id really like to see someone fork Gnome 2 for Ubuntu.
07:45:41 PMevermind just let the kernel guys know that theres a device...
07:45:43 PMagamotto chaslinux- Linux Mint
07:45:43 PMGarbee chaslinux, MATE, already done.
07:45:46 PMevermind chances are good
07:46:01 PMGarbee There is an unofficial PPA for MATE as well for Ubuntu, but it can be difficult to install.
07:46:16 PMchaslinux agamotto... we have hundreds of machines out there with Ubuntu... telling everyone switch to mint is a bad idea.
07:46:35 PMGarbee chaslinux, Why?
07:46:38 PMevermind pxe, you switch for them;)
07:46:42 PMYazid1965 LOL
07:46:52 PMGregInTexas cool beans!!
07:46:56 PMchaslinux Garbee : a lot of clients to ask to switch
07:46:58 PMagamotto chaslinux- for the moment, it is the least painful way to keep Gnome 2 if you want to keep current. If not, just stick with 10.04
07:47:10 PMScorpio55 unity and G3 are becoming more and more configurable, getting better all the time
07:47:18 PMevermind as long as 10.04 is supported, probably the best choice
07:47:20 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, you could put it on your forehead like some religious people do
07:47:24 PMGarbee chaslinux, Do it slowly.
07:47:29 PMDave-Maydew Id prefer to keep current, but thats me :-)
07:47:33 PMagamotto _Jot_- a new kind of bindie?
07:47:36 PMevermind you can keep current
07:47:40 PMrobgor lightsaber
07:47:41 PMevermind apt-get is your friend
07:47:49 PMu-al contact lenses that did that would be cool
07:47:52 PMGuest_7015 Hey Robbie: Got in late, cant stay, do you know about this weeks, Ubuntu Open Week?
07:47:54 PMGarbee Go Gentoo if you want current, except massive updates like Gnome 3 take some time.
07:47:55 PMevermind just because theres a new number out, doesnt mean, that the old one is outdated
07:47:59 PMagamotto I gave up on current with 10.10
07:47:59 PMevermind the beauty of gnu
07:48:00 PMLuiGeek youll mess up when you go and take a sip
07:48:10 PMDave-Maydew even when Ubuntu 10.04LTS goes??
07:48:17 PMGregInTexas I cant get Netbeans to upgrade, but everything else I can get to stay current on 10.04
07:48:27 PMevermind well, lts will take a few more years to go
07:48:32 PMchaslinux Anyone tried 12.04 yet?
07:48:33 PMevermind so you got time to test and test and test again
07:48:46 PMDave-Maydew Popey has tried it
07:48:50 PMGarbee chaslinux, I have in a VM, wont make judgment until RC though.
07:48:52 PMevermind not me chas,im only doing final
07:49:00 PMagamotto Dave-Maydew- i will try 12.04 LTS... if I find it too irritating, I will most likely move to Mint or Zorin...
07:49:09 PMGarbee I bet popey tries each new distro from before even Alpha 1.
07:49:11 PM_Jot_ Hillary, its the web, you only have to click once
07:49:21 PMrobgor hey hillary looks like a bobblehead
07:49:22 PMMichaeliowa lol
07:49:29 PMGoodGuy How about mixing this with Jawbone functionality
07:49:29 PMevermind you probably tried to sign in to category5.tv, Hillary
07:49:29 PMGarbee Hillary, You can take the hat off.
07:49:34 PMevermind same error i had a bit earlier
07:49:37 PMScorpio55 loving some of the new unity lenses and scope
07:49:39 PM_Jot_ if there were Hillary category5 bobbleheads, I would win one, Im sure
07:49:47 PMchaslinux I was thinking of looking at Bohdi (Ubuntu + Enlightenment).
07:49:51 PMemiel1976 chaslinux I am using Xubuntu 12.04
07:50:10 PMemiel1976 Runs very good voor an Alpha 1
07:50:15 PMGoodGuy Bodhi made a new loaded version with more software
07:50:16 PMchaslinux Ooops thats bodhilinux
07:50:16 PMGarbee Enlightenment still need work, but is very nice.
07:50:33 PMevermind sadly, enlightenment needs work now for many years...
07:50:34 PMchaslinux And low resources...
07:50:42 PMYazid1965 Wow! lol
07:50:42 PMGarbee Im glad we got the Wiki simplified.
07:50:56 PMGregInTexas lol
07:51:02 PMchaslinux evermind.... lol we were saying that back in the WindowMaker 5.1 days...lol
07:51:03 PMEightMilesFromTJ Does Bohdi have a 64 bit version?
07:51:07 PMGoodGuy My life would put you to sleep Hillary :-)
07:51:23 PMevermind indeed
07:51:36 PMDave-Maydew RobbieF which distro is the best for compatibility??
07:51:41 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, it is almost 2am, not 3am, does that mean I can watch another show in an hour?
07:51:45 PMrick34637 How do I get desktop drapes to work on 11-04
07:51:47 PMrobgor hey RobbieF you could use the xbox360 kinect in linux, believe a hack is available for linux
07:51:49 PMkeith_heaton_ robbie do you think you will be able too do you pxe boot epsoid
07:51:54 PMDave-Maydew with Older hardware like GPUs
07:51:59 PMGarbee http://wiki.category5.tv ... Check this out too.
07:52:01 PMYazid1965 Should add a section to the show called Hillary rants like Molly rants. :)
07:52:02 PMcalhydro Robbie: What to you think of the Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte! www.raspberrypi.org/
07:52:15 PMGuest_7884 Has this show gone big time or what why was there ads from party poker
07:52:17 PMGoodGuy Hak5 just did an episode on that a week or two ago
07:52:18 PMkeith_heaton_ i had one running
07:52:25 PMGarbee Hak5 just had an episode showing to setup a PXE server on Debian.
07:52:28 PMchaslinux We use PXE server at work.
07:52:31 PMGuest_7884 Is the man taking over?
07:52:33 PMimmaculate hello first timer here from davenport iowa. how is debian squeeze? Im not a fan of Unity, is it worth it?
07:52:34 PM_Jot_ RobbieF, you can do it on Unraid
07:52:38 PMOldGuyJim We use PXE boot at work to image computers with KACE. Works great.
07:52:39 PMchaslinux For Windows and Linux installs.
07:52:51 PMGoodGuy I made a post in the Revision 3 HAK5 forum asking for more info and got some good links
07:52:52 PMcalhydro Raspberry Pi runs Debian
07:52:58 PMGarbee Very...minimal was that segment though.
07:53:02 PMagamotto calhydro- I find it funny that the Pi has better gfx ability than the iPhone 4S...
07:53:19 PMDave-Maydew it has??
07:53:30 PMGoodGuy That forum post seemed to have more detailed info
07:53:30 PMagamotto immaculate- Hello, from Moline
07:53:32 PMDave-Maydew and is cheeeeper
07:53:54 PMcalhydro Its an amazing littile computer
07:53:56 PMagamotto Squeeze is a very secure, stable version of Ubuntu.
07:53:58 PMemiel1976 Try Zorin OS. You have Gnome 2 back.
07:54:03 PM_Jot_ that Pi is as cheap as one apple accesory
07:54:11 PMagamotto Cheaper
07:54:21 PMGarbee and learn aptitude!
07:54:30 PMu-al Is there a graphic equalizer I can add to Ubuntu 11.10 ?
07:54:31 PMchaslinux Think Ill do the Zotac ZBox for XBMC next. Raspberry Pi is awsome looking, but Im guessing a lot of work.
07:54:37 PMLuiGeek Love your show!! This is my first time here.--from FL
07:54:45 PMimmaculate cool cool, Ill check out your blog
07:54:46 PMGoodGuy http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41125
07:54:48 PMDave-Maydew trying to talk the wife into buying me a Pi :-)
07:54:48 PMGarbee More stuff will be added into the Wiki as well on Debian!
07:54:53 PMGarbee Stay tuned there.
07:54:56 PMemiel1976 _Jot_ You can buy a lot of Pis for 1 Apple product. lol
07:55:05 PMGoodGuy That is the PXE info in that post
07:55:06 PMagamotto chaslinux- As long as you dont need to record regular telly, it should be fine.
07:55:13 PMOldGuyJim I tried the live CD on my laptop. No wireless driver.
07:55:25 PMDave-Maydew is Vanilla Debian version 7??
07:55:29 PMDave-Maydew or 6?
07:55:40 PMagamotto Should be 7 in the next month or so.
07:55:46 PMOldGuyJim Excuse I meant the live Debian CD on a laptop and did not get a wireless driver loaded.
07:55:54 PMGarbee Dave-Maydew, 6 is squeeze, 7 is something else. I dont think there is a "Vanilla" codenamed version.
07:55:55 PMjonathon Rasberry Pi site is down, lot of news about it lately
07:56:22 PMGarbee Wheezy is 7.
07:56:29 PMagamotto Hillary- ie... too much eye-candy, not enough usability
07:56:33 PMDave-Maydew Unity shouldnt be forced
07:56:52 PMGarbee 12.04 will *hopefully* fix all my issues with Multi-monitor.
07:57:02 PMagamotto immaculate- You arent a member of QCLUG are you?
07:57:03 PMGuest_1380 why change to Debian now when 10.04 is supported for another 2 or 3 yeqars
07:57:08 PMcalhydro Raspberry Pi was to be available in January its been pushed back
07:57:23 PMGarbee sudo apt-get install gnome-shell && sudo apt-get remove --purge unity
07:57:26 PMemiel1976 Unity and Gnome-shell are nice for the kids, they love it
07:57:29 PMkeith_heaton_ i have a fileserver that runs on deb 6.0
07:57:31 PMrobgor unity sucks for the desktop
07:57:32 PMagamotto EOL for 10.04 is 10.12
07:57:32 PMchaslinux I like Gnome 3, but still think most people would prefer Gnome 2.
07:57:37 PMkeith_heaton_ runns great
07:57:45 PMagamotto 12.10 that should have been
07:57:48 PMcalhydro What about the HUD
07:57:49 PMGarbee RobbieF, They are forcing it in order to get more feedback on what to fix.
07:57:54 PMGarbee That is my theory.
07:57:55 PM_Jot_ I think Category5 is much more exciting than any unity
07:57:56 PMemiel1976 I changed to Xubuntu
07:57:56 PMrick34637 Hey Robbie How do I get desktop drapes to work on 11-04
07:58:00 PMDave-Maydew I may go XfCE
07:58:08 PMDave-Maydew undecided
07:58:12 PMGarbee XFCE and LXDE just arent my style.
07:58:13 PMagamotto Garbee- ala Windows Vista... heehehehehe
07:58:15 PMScorpio55 Every install of Unity I havedone for new customers they love it
07:58:16 PMemiel1976 Xfce 4.8 is great
07:58:22 PMGarbee agamotto, No comment.
07:58:38 PMmaxwell6307 Robbie what is your opinion of KDE?
07:58:44 PM_Jot_ Scorpio55, your customers must love windows
07:58:55 PMGuest_7015 RobbieF Ubuntu wiki Developer Week, Ubuntu wiki
07:58:56 PMagamotto Scorpio55- Even w/o a touchscreen?
07:58:56 PMDave-Maydew Tempus Fugit
07:58:59 PMDave-Maydew ;p;
07:58:59 PMGarbee Can I get a time-machine mail-ordered?
07:59:00 PMDave-Maydew lol
07:59:10 PMGregInTexas I used to use KDE prior to gnome2
07:59:21 PM_Jot_ Garbee, you are in a time machine, it is called Universe
07:59:22 PMYazid1965 What? Its still Tuesday...Tuesday
07:59:24 PMGregInTexas KDE just came out with 4.8
07:59:33 PMchaslinux GregInTexas: up to KDE 3.5?
07:59:50 PMGregInTexas its been so long, chaslinux, I dont remember the version
07:59:58 PMGarbee I am guessing KDE 5 will be based on QT5.
08:00:01 PMchaslinux I used to swear by KDE until the 4.x release.
08:00:06 PMDave-Maydew Right guys, I better go, off to the Hospital tomorrow
08:00:07 PMYazid1965 Your letters
08:00:11 PMGregInTexas first tried KDE with Caldera ...
08:00:12 PM_Jot_ good luck Dave
08:00:19 PMrobgor great show RobbieF and Hillary :)
08:00:20 PMjonathon Scorpio55, unity is a good interface for the casual user
08:00:24 PMDave-Maydew Cheers
08:00:24 PMScorpio55 I am much more productive on Unity and G3 than I ever was on G2 but you need to use it to get used to it
08:00:27 PMchaslinux Corel Linux.... lol
08:00:33 PM_Jot_ Hillary, be careful, youre making yourself dizzy
08:00:37 PMDave-Maydew See you all next week
08:00:37 PMevermind what, that was it already?
08:00:39 PMGarbee Scorpio55, Yes, getting used to it is the hard part.
08:00:40 PMevermind hehehe
08:00:43 PMagamotto heheh
08:00:44 PMGregInTexas I loved Caldera ...
08:00:47 PMGarbee For me, it was even harder getting used to Unity than Gnome 3.
08:00:54 PMchaslinux Night all...
08:00:56 PMgpop7 Great show. See you next week. same time same station.
08:00:58 PMGarbee Im still getting used to it as well.
08:00:59 PMEightMilesFromTJ Robbie - what file manager are you using in Debian?
08:01:09 PMGarbee Nautilus most likely, it is default in Gnome.
08:01:14 PMgpop7 Good night everyone
08:01:15 PMGarbee ^^ for file manager.
08:01:52 PMagamotto Thunar is easy to use...
08:02:44 PMScorpio55 Check out the ten best Unity lenses on OMGUbuntu
08:03:04 PMHillary Thanks everyone!!!
08:03:12 PM_Jot_ youre welcome Hillary
08:03:26 PMGregInTexas Great show RobbieF and Hillary .... thanks much!
08:03:37 PMHillary See you guys later! Have a super week!
08:03:57 PMmaxwell6307 robbieF what is you opinion of KDE?
08:04:02 PMMichaeliowa very good show Robbie and Hillary!!
08:05:17 PMagamotto immaculate- So, what drew your attention to our little soire?
08:10:10 PM_Jot_ Im not immaculate, so Im keeping quiet!
08:10:16 PMagamotto hheeheheh
08:10:44 PMagamotto _Jot_- How has the van der Sloot conviction been taken at home?
08:10:51 PM_Jot_ they who throw the first stone and so on
08:11:39 PM_Jot_ agamotto, we all think he was punished too leniently, and we hope they will keep him there in a hole in the ground for life, or at least that he gets extradited to guantanamo or one of the other such service sites
08:12:17 PMagamotto Perhaps he can be sent somewhere nice, like Siberia...
08:12:23 PMRobbieF Thanks all; hpoe you had fun
08:12:25 PM_Jot_ unfortunatly, it is likely that eventually he will be returned to the netherlands because of extradition-agreements and so on, and then hell most likely get his sentence converted to something like 50 hours community service
08:12:36 PM_Jot_ hey RobbieF, we hope you had fun too
08:12:53 PMagamotto _Jot_- As I understand it, he has to serve at least 20 years in Peru...
08:12:54 PMOldGuyJim Goodnight folks. Thanks for the info on Debian, RobbieF.
08:13:00 PMGarbee Sorry I was 30 minutes late.. had to go up the road and get dog food.
08:13:12 PMRobbieF np OldGuyJim
08:13:14 PMRobbieF have a great night!
08:13:28 PM_Jot_ agamotto, 28 years, but only 1/3rd of it actually has to be served normally, and there are extradition-treaties with Peru, which means he can be brought back here to serve his sentence
08:13:35 PMagamotto _Jot_- His sugarauntie is now trying to get some of her money back from either him or his lawyer she paid for... hilarious
08:13:49 PMagamotto _Jot_- Oh, that sucks
