| <siccness> Hey Fujitsu! | |
| <Fujitsu> Hi siccness. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. cant download the filterset.g file. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser slaps website | |
| <quail> hello | |
| <quail> i got my usb kvm switch today :-D | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> heh. as you do | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser got a UPS today - good for 750 watt | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> so i can put 3 or 4 boxes on it :D | |
| <Phlosten_> neat | |
| <purserj> Okay all three segments from wednesday night are now available. http://www.localfoss.org | |
| <Phlosten_> ah bugger, forgot about that | |
| <Phlosten_> purserj, did it go good? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> purserj, cool. *will try and remember to download them sometime* | |
| <quail> woot my usb kvm works great :-) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, :) | |
| <purserj> Phlosten_, it could have been better. Next week is going to be a hundred percent better | |
| <Phlosten_> excellent, I will try my best to tune in | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> purserj, will you always be running them wed. night? | |
| <ajmitch> cafuego: sounds like you have a fanclub now | |
| * cafuego is on a higher plain of being now | |
| <ajmitch> heh | |
| <ajmitch> and I just do boring things like fix bugs & package new stuff | |
| * cafuego does too, just not stuff that's allowed in the main repos. | |
| * ajmitch just updated f-spot & tomboy, and xgl a week or so ago | |
| <ajmitch> and nobody cares :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <cafuego> Did you include the image autorotate on export to gallery patch in f-spot? | |
| <ajmitch> haven't done that one yet | |
| * cafuego fails to hug you, then ;-) | |
| <ajmitch> been grabbing patches from CVS to fix importing rotated images | |
| <ajmitch> bug #? | |
| <cafuego> Dunno, I did a custom f-spot with the patch included... | |
| <ajmitch> then do you have the patch available? | |
| <cafuego> Was googling and stumbled across it. | |
| <cafuego> yah | |
| <cafuego> hold on | |
| <ajmitch> if you don't have a bug number or patch, I can't even begin to care :) | |
| <ajmitch> bug # is always preferred | |
| <cafuego> Nono, it wasn't a bug. | |
| <ajmitch> it should be | |
| <ajmitch> any requests for stuff to be done to the package should be in malone at least | |
| * cafuego was googling for gallery support and came a cross a patch that someone ahd written | |
| <ajmitch> any patches upstream go on gnome bugzilla | |
| <cafuego> if I hadn't seen that, i wouldn't have cared | |
| <cafuego> Hmm, looks like I didn't even push it tomy repo. | |
| <cafuego> shall I mail you teh patch or malone it? | |
| <ajmitch> malone | |
| <ajmitch> otherwise it gets lost | |
| * bimberi thinks malone, or ajmitch won't 'begin to care' ;) | |
| <ajmitch> bimberi: pretty much | |
| <cafuego> bimberi: while (1); do uuencode patch patch | mail ajmitch@...; sleep 10; done ;-) | |
| <cafuego> he'll care | |
| <ajmitch> if I'm lucky it'll be on gnome bugzilla already | |
| * ajmitch tweaks .procmailrc | |
| <bimberi> lol | |
| <ajmitch> bug 55972? | |
| <cafuego> yep | |
| <cafuego> pattached | |
| <ajmitch> ok, searching bugzilla | |
| <ajmitch> we'll see if it can search patches | |
| <cafuego> http://mail.gnome.org/archives/f-spot-list/2006-April/msg00016.html | |
| <ajmitch> http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165645 | |
| <ajmitch> the bug has updated patch | |
| <cafuego> 'k | |
| <ajmitch> I'll talk to sde when I see him next & ask about the patch | |
| <ajmitch> cafuego: the issue isn't that f-spot unrotates, but that it doesn't rotate - the images are stored unrotated with an EXIF marker to indicate orientation | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> now the big question: do i try and make a mirror of debian sparc :/, or try nd get the bits i need | |
| <cafuego> ajmitch: Well, end-user wise that's much of a muchness. | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: node up to date yet? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cafuego, yes, and syncing regularly as well. thanks | |
| <ajmitch> Kamping_Kaiser: any good reason to do a full mirror? | |
| <cafuego> ooher | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ajmitch, i dont have any partial mirrors, just full ones | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ubuntu (binar,y, i386)dapper, breezy, hoary, debian alpha (all, binary) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> now i'm thinking about sparc - mirroring at 256k/s | |
| <ajmitch> do you have unmetered traffic for mirroring? | |
| <cafuego> ajmitch: Yeah, the internode mirror holds debian/ubuntu and a few others, it's great (and free). | |
| * cafuego has pulled the ISOs down and is open wifi'ing those at home now. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cafuego, it has hte major debian stuff, but not things like alpha | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and only sparc packages, not install cds :/ | |
| <cafuego> Hmmyeah, but how many node subscribers would have an alpha at home? | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: packages/cds -> jigdo | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i have 2! | |
| <cafuego> Freak! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :o | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> tehres 50 registered debian users with sparcs! i'm not one (yet) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> so therese > 51 of us ;) | |
| <cafuego> All up. 2% of thsoe use Node. Hmm. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| <cafuego> Yeah, I don't think they need to justify using 8Gb of mirror space to service only you ;-) | |
| <cafuego> Of course, if *I* had one too, that would be different | |
| <cafuego> nudge nudge | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its 12 gig - of binaries | |
| <cafuego> hold on, bleeding, bbiab | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> er... k.... | |
| <cafuego> ca | |
| <cafuego> cat | |
| <ajmitch> heh | |
| <cafuego> unfortunate tendency to walk up me; using claws. | |
| <ajmitch> cats are great like that | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol :s | |
| <cafuego> wouldn't matter so much if he wasn't a fat little bugger ;-) | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser declares counter.li useless, as i cant find th number of alpha users | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: There are none in there, that's why! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mines in there! | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: mail him; get a page listing arches. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> http://counter.li.org/reports/ shows intel+amd then "otehr" - 60% is in 'other' | |
| <cafuego> yes, make them split it | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> mmm | |
| <cafuego> x86, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, uml (!!!), alpha | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> uml? :S | |
| <cafuego> why not? :-) | |
| <cafuego> it's an arch, graph it. | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser researches | |
| <cafuego> user-mde-linux | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> thats not an arch as such :/ | |
| <cafuego> well | |
| * adhoc is downloading an ISO from the ubuntu site with 19 hours to go =( | |
| <cafuego> adhoc: may i recommend torrent? | |
| <adhoc> cafuego: i can from work | |
| <adhoc> and it worries me not | |
| <adhoc> i'll be down by monday | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: It's not one that should be counted in the over-all stats, but having some info on it wuld be nice. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> 19hours? wtf are you doin ghtere adhoc o_0 | |
| <cafuego> deathmatch gnuchess! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> ah, yeh, thats a bandwidth hog :) | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> ah of course | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, jigdo it ;) | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser wants to laern that | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser learns how to setup a rarp server | |
| <cafuego> Much like dhcp/tftp/bootp i'd hazard. | |
| <cafuego> echo "option rarp true;" >> dhcpd.conf ;-) | |
| <praetorian> /z 32 | |
| <praetorian> whoops | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> http://www.au.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch04s04.html.en | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cafuego, yes, its very similar | |
| * cafuego did some fiddling with tftp the other day and has macs and x86 pxebooting now | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yay, mroe up to date doco - talking about 2.2/2.,4 kernels | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has some thin clietns he got tftp booting a whilue back | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> not played with them since | |
| <cafuego> On my laptop I can even rebuild grub and make that pxeboot directly. | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: Planning to take a couple of coloured old G3 iMacs as thin clients to SFD here | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cafuego, cool. didnt know they netbooted | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: all macs (hold down 'n') | |
| <cafuego> all pci ppc macs anyway | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser forgets, but thanks for telling ;) | |
| <cafuego> you're most welcome! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> this is silly: i have to netboot d-i, then network install, then find i messed up, and reinstall :/. | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i' | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> i'm still working on step 1 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> er... wheres /etc/init.d/inetd gone to ? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :S | |
| <cafuego> Kamping_Kaiser: Did you install inetd? ;-) | |
| <cafuego> inetutils-inetd prolly | |
| <cafuego> actually | |
| <noiesmo> quail, hey I have got a response from shipit they are going to ensure my order is here in time for software freedom day :) | |
| <cafuego> noiesmo: excellent news! | |

| <noiesmo> cafuego, yes it is now to get fellow humbug memebers to help on the day and were all go | |
| <cafuego> noiesmo: Chocolate and physical voilence works. | |
| <noiesmo> cafuego, :0 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :D | |
| <noiesmo> cafuego, i've already been on to them thru the mailing list and it seems positive | |
| <noiesmo> now to find a venue/location to go to | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <cafuego> 50 CDs approved and sent to the shipping company in 2006-07-26 | |
| <cafuego> of 300... | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> cafuego, know the feeling | |
| <noiesmo> what locations do people here think would be good ie shopping mail computer markets uni | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> quail, just discovered why we werwe having dhcp issues at svlug - i had 2 servers running... | |
| <purserj> yeah that would do it | |
| <noiesmo> I'm going to a novell suse presentation on tuesday I should take some cd's a mates got along | |
| <purserj> We had that problem at WIN. All of a sudden people would start dropping off the network with wierd IP addresses. Turns out our comms guy was testing dlink ADSL modems and forgetting to switch off the DHCP server | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> lol | |
| <purserj> Had it happen enough times that when people started dropping off, first thing we'd do would be to call comms guy and tell him to turn off his modem | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hehe | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has 2 servers running now. hope they dont conflict - i want this sparc to get its ip from the right place | |
| <cafuego> purserj: <heh> | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser has no inetd.... does edgy exist at all? *puts hand through pc*, apparently not... | |
| <quail> afternoon all | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hey quail | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, some more sparc ram would be nice - and a vid. card. i only have 2 working, i pillaged the other for parts | |
| <adhoc> don't have any sbus video | |
| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: i'll keep an eye out for ram for you? | |
| <adhoc> sparc 5? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yeh, 5 | |
| <adhoc> sparc 5 ram us unique, not used in any other model, IIRR | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> the 10 has 96mb of ram, 1 5 has 64, 1 has 0 | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> its different to the 10, thats all i know | |
| <adhoc> i have some that might fit your 10 | |

| <adhoc> Kamping_Kaiser: you get the raid working too? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, controller? its sitting on a box here. | |

| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, i'm trying to jam my 'servers' with scsi gear | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> and i have enough different stuff i cant standardise ;) | |
| <adhoc> fair enough | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser sort of hacks stuff together as he can | |
| <adhoc> thats the way | |
| * adhoc could only afford 50pin when he started with scsi! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> adhoc, i'm thinking of getting my big tower out of the back corner and filling it :) | |

| <Fujitsu> siccness, gparted will do it fine. | |
| <siccness> yeah? sweet | |
| <Tate> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLHdwddwRdE <--- freaky | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, the gparted livecd (~30mb) is the easiest option too, i've found. | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: yeah, downloading now :) | |
| <siccness> Tate: Heh | |
| <Tate> it'd be better if it was a life time thing | |
| <siccness> She's very creative with her hair, I believe it changed once in 3 years :) | |
| <Tate> I know a girl that's NEVER changed her hairstyle | |
| <Tate> it's default long asian hair | |
| <siccness> must admit, my hair style hasnt changed in about 10 years | |
| <Tate> hah, mine changes a fair bit... from long... to short, then when it's short, you can style it, etc | |
| <Tate> whirlpool linux/bsd forums are full of nubs | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser cacks up at a group of blokes on irc discusing hair styles | |
| <Tate> Kamping_Kaiser: it's hardly homosexual... :P | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Tate, i didnt say it was | |
| <siccness> Tate: You're probably speaking of me :) | |
| <siccness> I talk in that section | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> Tate, i get my hair plaited every time a girl goes near it ;), i still think chatting about it on irc is hillarious | |
| <purserj> nah, its metrosexual, ie all the gay stuff except the whole sleeping with men thing | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> rofl | |
| <Tate> lol purserj | |
| <siccness> bbl | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser flips pony tail about... damn it. i want plaits again | |
| <Tate> I eat off plates | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> really? | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> you savage | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> use a fork like everyone else | |
| <Tate> :o | |
| <Tate> having an entire house to yourself = awesomenessness | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> bastard :/ | |
| <Tate> hah, it's been like this for the past two weeks for me | |
| <Tate> father and brother are working up in Cairns | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> yer bugger :), i dont have a house to myself ;P | |
| <Tate> I usually don't | |
| <Tate> it's great though, because it's almost midnight and my music is still fully cranked ;) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> :) | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> hahaa. pretty much | |
| <Tate> I live far enough away from the neighbours that it doesn't distrub them | |
| * Kamping_Kaiser is listening to goon shows atm | |
| * Tate is listening to some random swedish metal | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> hi ppl | |
| <Tate> hi Davo_Dinkum, how are you this evening? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ok | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> having trouble putting 6.06.1 on a thinkpad | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> it hangs during installation | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> how r u? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> tate? | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: are you using the standard Live CD install? | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: I'm great thanks | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> err yeah the desktop CD | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: you might like to try the alternate install | |
| * Davo_Dinkum sighs | |
| <Tate> the graphical one has some issues now and then | |
| <Tate> I have a friend who had such an issue | |
| <Tate> the alternate works fine | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> great another 700mb DL | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: what ISP are you with? try and use free quota | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> optus. they havent heard of such a thing | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> cant u do a text install on the live/desktop CD? | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: yea, I'm not sure Optus are friendly | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: I have no idea, I'm not very knowledgable in that part | |
| <Tate> if you could, then try to do that | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> optus blow. everthing is counted | |
| <Tate> if anything, when you first pop the CD in | |
| <Tate> it'll come up with a list of options | |
| <Tate> it may be there | |
| <Tate> give that a shot | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> alrighty | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> it only 64mb of RAM though | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ill upgrade it *soon* | |
| <Tate> ouch, that might choke on gnome | |
| <Tate> I'd be using something more lightweight, like Xfce, or even a WM such as fluxbox or openbox | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> not 4 me though. the laptop is for a windows user im forcing ubuntu onto | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> best to make it easy to use | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> does xfce have a trashcan yet | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ? | |
| <Tate> no | |
| <Tate> I wish there was a method for disabling the trash in GNOME, I really don't enjoy the concept of "trash" | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: it's being planned though, it'll be implemented in v2.0 of thunar along with samba | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> why? i use it as a safety mechanism, incase i delete files accidentally | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: yes, it's great for that | |
| <Tate> I always just use "shift-delete" though | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> although the files arent really deleted, so... | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> man this takes ages | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> know anything about overclocking laptops? | |
| <MatthewV> Davo_Dinkum, only try in a well air-conditioned room ;) | |
| <MatthewV> night all | |
| * Davo_Dinkum pokes tate | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> still here? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> i think its hanging again | |
| <Tate> hey mate, in the text mode? | |
| <Tate> what's it hanging on? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> when it says: "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." | |
| <Tate> and this is during the install process? | |
| <Tate> are you sure that the CD isn't currupted? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> could be possible | |
| <Tate> do an md5sum check on the image | |
| <Tate> that'll let you know | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> its the same CDRW ive used for other ubuntu installs and it worked fien | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> *fine | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ill check it anyway | |
| <Tate> okay, than it's probably fine Davo_Dinkum | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> wats the next step then? | |
| <Tate> check the forums/google for similar issues with that model of laptop | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ok | |
| <Tate> is it old? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> oh yeah | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> 500mhz celeron, 6gb hdd | |
| <Tate> should run linux fine | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> yeah it was running xp pro before | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> how much ram? | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> 64mb !! | |
| <Kamping_Kaiser> wow. gnome will fly <sarcasm> :) | |
| <Tate> gnome is slow as it is | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> is KDE faster? | |
| <quail> xfce is the fastest | |
| <quail> KDE is slow as a wet fart | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> LOL ok | |
| <Tate> hah, KDE is faster than GNOME. Qt is alot faster than GTK2 | |
| <Tate> on a modern PC, the difference isn't that big anyway | |
| <Tate> gnome is still faster than XP :P | |
| <Tate> wow, transmission is a rather nice bit torrent client | |
| <praetorian> i only have one problem with kde | |
| <praetorian> i don't like to wear sunglasses indoors | |
| <Tate> hahaha | |
| <Tate> I don't like KDE at all | |
| <praetorian> id imagine the kde/gnome comparisons are pretty much close btw | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> is transmission available for ubuntu? | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: I'm not sure, you could always build it from source | |
| <Tate> surely someone has a .deb for it | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: it's very light-weight, no added features | |
| <Tate> it's extremely fast though | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> yeah i use it on os x | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> quite nice | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> how hard is it to build something from source? | |
| <praetorian> got a url for it? | |
| <Tate> not very | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: basically, download the source | |
| <Tate> $ make | |
| <Tate> sorry | |
| <Tate> $ ./configure | |
| <Tate> $ make | |
| <Tate> # make install | |
| <Tate> unless you run into dependancy problems, you'll need to grab the packages for them | |
| <Tate> http://transmission.m0k.org/ | |
| <praetorian> oh it's a .. gui | |
| <Tate> for CLI, the standard official bit torrent client is nice | |
| <praetorian> not really | |
| <praetorian> 'rtorrent' is far nicer | |
| <Tate> I'll have to check it out | |
| <Tate> CLI is great beause I can let it run on the server and turn off my computer | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> is rtorrent a cli program? | |
| <Tate> I want to do the same for giFT | |
| <Tate> Davo_Dinkum: praetorian said it was | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> oh ok | |
| <Tate> okay fella's, I'm off to bed | |
| <Tate> good night | |
| <Tate> good luck with that computer Davo_Dinkum | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> seeya tate | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> thanks | |
| <praetorian> it is | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> ill look on http://www.thinkwiki.org | |
| <Davo_Dinkum> night guys | |

| <pschulz01> .me yawns | |
| * pschulz01 yawns | |
| <adhoc> hey pschulz01 | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: at work? | |
| <adhoc> don't tell me you're at work too? | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: no.. no.. | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: They don't pay me nearly enough for that. | |
| * adhoc is waiting for servers to come back uip | |
| <adhoc> pschulz01: overtime before 7am is x 2 | |
| <adhoc> ;) | |
| <pschulz01> I wanted to ask you some questions about your redundency setup. | |
| <adhoc> shott! | |
| <adhoc> ask away even | |
| <pschulz01> Are you using clusters (redhat) and DRBD? | |
| <adhoc> we have redhat boxes clusterd behind a cisco content switch | |
| <adhoc> and solaris boxes running the sun one cluster for ldap and mail | |
| <adhoc> mostly behind the content switch | |
| <pschulz01> adhoc: In separate locations.. yes? | |
| <adhoc> yes | |
| <adhoc> seperate sites ... 6 in all | |
| <pschulz01> :-) | |
| <adhoc> most services in 3 of them | |
| <adhoc> we had 7 but one got wet | |
| <pschulz01> Redundant network? | |
| <Daemon> anyone running the latest XGL currently? | |
| <adhoc> yup | |
| <adhoc> Daemon: nope | |
| <adhoc> mornen mr purserj | |
| <purserj> mornen | |
| <purserj> That reminds me, I need to nail lucychili for an interview again | |
| <adhoc> after the house inspection | |
| <adhoc> purserj: i think lucychili went back to bed after dropping me at work at 530 this morning | |
| <Daemon> http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2915/linux_xglcompiz_graphics <- just watched that XGL video, I like the "zoomed out" style of the cube for swiching workspaces, and the one where they're all in a line | |
| <purserj> ah, probably a smart plan. | |
| <Daemon> just wondered if Ubuntu had those options for XGL yet | |
| <purserj> Daemon, yup | |
| <adhoc> Daemon: packages exist, but i don't think that are included by default | |
| <adhoc> Daemon: i installed them on my lappy, but my video card doesn't support the gl stuff very weel =( | |
| <Daemon> I know it can spin, but I've never seen it zoomed out like that | |
| <purserj> no, there's a couple of issues preventing that. Firstly they rely on non GPL packages (NVIDIA Drivers etc) and secondly, the XGL stuff is still pretty beta | |
| <Daemon> I've had XGL/compiz running on both my home pc and lappy before, just interested again after seeing the cube with a background :) | |
| <Daemon> took a bit of fiddling on the laptop, considering it's ATI .... | |
| <Daemon> http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/featuresdetails.aspx/xps_m1210_au?c=au&l=en&s=bsd&~lt=popup&~lt=popup <- wouldn't mind that as my next lappy | |
| <adhoc> is the XPS available in australia? i thought it was only for the merican market | |
| <adhoc> given the drivers are a barstard to get right!?!? | |
| <adhoc> we had designers with some and they scuked | |
| <xice> ive seen XPS laptops before here in adelaide | |
| <xice> yep ive seeen that laptop, (i remember the black lid and core duo) very nice, |
