01:04.43Heartsbanesontek: go watch Tom Petty
01:06.05undertakingyousontek: good
01:06.13undertakingyouHey sontek I wanted to ask you something.
01:06.33undertakingyouWhat package can I use to have two monitors on one linux box?
01:06.48Heartsbanenrandr I think
01:07.42undertakingyouI think sontek told Zelut about a different one.
01:08.05Heartsbanesorry xrandr
01:08.14Heartsbaneor you can use Twinview
01:08.23Heartsbanewith the NVidia stuff
01:08.29undertakingyouMaybe it was twinview.  hmm . . .
01:08.52undertakingyouI thought it was something like xinearama or something
01:09.08sontekundertakingyou: twinview is nvidia
01:09.21sontekundertakingyou: but yeah, xrandr will work for most of your needs
01:09.49undertakingyouIt is a nvidia card.  So maybe twinview is what I want.
01:10.11Heartsbaneundertakingyou: I think you are thinking x11proto-xinerama-dev
01:10.26Heartsbanemaybe
01:10.32undertakingyouHeartsbane: that's it.
01:10.44sontekyou don't want xinerama
01:10.47sontekthats different
01:10.56undertakingyouoh, good thing I asked  :)
01:11.10sontekxinerama lets you run 2 xservers at the same time
01:11.19sontek1 on each monitor
01:12.07undertakingyouBut heres my question.  with twinview can I have two monitors, each with different resolutions?
01:12.15undertakingyouIf not, I need two xserver's right?
01:12.28HeartsbaneI prefer Twinview although I wish I could get potrait mode setup correct with xrandr
01:12.59Heartsbaneundertakingyou: ya its is not going to pretty and I don't know how compiz will like that
01:13.53undertakingyouHeartsbane: I don't need compiz, I just need to have it so that it can play the mythtv on the actual tv.
01:14.10undertakingyouI think that I will disable compiz.
01:14.14Heartsbaneoh
01:15.07undertakingyoumythtv will be what comes up by default, and sometimes the tv will be the only thing that is hooked up
01:15.17undertakingyouthis is an interesting application.
01:15.22undertakingyouSo, yeah  :)

01:57.04linuxalienAnd there's fink and macports for your compiling frenzy
01:57.16linuxalienmacports is sometimes buggy on intel though
01:57.18nearnpsh, you dont even really need that
01:57.20linuxaliennearn, sweet
01:57.28linuxalienYeah, you can get by with Xcode
01:57.35nearnmost apps for the mac are free and sexy looksing
01:57.38nearn-s
01:57.45linuxalienYes, plenty are precompiled
01:58.36nearnif i could only find a better media player the itunes then i would be set.
01:59.04linuxalienThere's VLC, Mplayer OSX, DivX
01:59.07linuxalienMiro
01:59.09nearnbut itunes does have daap built in and that is awesome for my media library.
01:59.13linuxalienCool
01:59.32nearnthose are good for vids but not mp3s
02:00.23nearnand the macbooks have a wicked suspend feature.

03:19.48redbeard2Gate: why?
03:20.01GateGraduate School, a few of the schools look appealing
03:24.18mheathGate: I've heard it's not a bad place to live, in general
03:24.30mheathjust from a few sailors I knew who were there
03:25.43redbeard2i had a student in my class a month or two ago who was living in the bay area... his company offered him a position in houston, with his california wages. i wasn't surprised when he told me he declined.
03:26.32mheathHey, whats the ubuntu package name for the advanced Compiz plugin configuration?
03:26.58mheathcompiz-config or something like that?

03:29.17mheathWhen I used beryl, it was the emerald theme manager or something like that..
03:29.51Gateheh, hit the wrong bloody button and closed the window :)
03:29.59Gatemheath: emerald
03:30.11mheathAh, thats right, it requires a seperate install, right?
03:30.25mheathSorry, I set this stuff up once in a blue moon, and forget it by the time I have to come back and set it up again
03:30.35mheathSeems like it changes subtley every time, too :P
03:38.53Zelutredbeard2: yeah the traffic does suck.  i just got lost coming back home from the store.
03:39.19Zelutredbeard2: only reason i took this is i have family out here i haven't seen in over a year.

03:44.51redbeard2Zelut: oh, that's right. i'm not thinking. how much longer?
03:45.05Zelutredbeard2: we're actually crossing our fingers she makes it until i get back! she's been having some nasty contractions.
03:45.29Zelutredbeard2: normal due date is march 6th, but i'd be surprised if it went that long.

17:13.56mheathcyclone: I'm still working on the 'get married' part.
17:14.06mheathEven thats still a few months off
17:14.53mheathBTW
17:15.16mheathFirst impression of Hardy - Artwork is WAY improved.
17:15.40mheathI love it way, way, way more than Gutsy
17:15.57mheathSorry, but the Human stuff and the default backgrounds have always somewhat annoyed me in Ubuntu
17:16.05mheathHardy's I find much more aesthetically pleasing.
17:17.06cyclonehrmmm
17:17.16cycloneMaybe I'll jump on the Hardy band wagon then.
17:17.26cycloneI am a sucker for eye candy.
17:17.37cycloneunlike Zelut, who just uses CLI. *ducks*
17:17.43cyclone;)
17:18.08mheathThe default background, rather than the rendered-light-brown-wavey-stuff in Gutsy, is just a picture of a dark brown leather hide.
17:18.17mheathWhich sounds weird, but I find oddly pleasing
17:18.46mheathI think the icons have been cleaned up some too, though don't quote me on that as I haven't used Ubuntu's default icons in a while and they have have changed earlier than I'm thinking.
17:19.42mheathcyclone: meh, it still doesn't meet my standards for eyecandy
17:20.04mheathGTK + Metacity themes are to be replaced (with a new GTK theme + an Emerald theme)
17:20.19mheathI'll probably replcae the wallpaper, though I really do like that..hmm.
17:20.32mheathI'm just surprised
17:20.53mheathThey're making a lot of changes with GVFS and Pulseaudio and Policykit for whats supposed to be a LTS release
17:21.00mheathI hope they can get things cleaned up in time.
17:32.38mheathspeaking of artwork...
17:32.54mheathdoes anyone here have a favorite icon theme?
17:33.43tristanbobcyclone: cli = certified loser interface

17:43.03tristanbobsorry ;(
17:43.33thaddeusqthe gui is for wimps.
17:44.46mheathGUIs are broken, I'll give you that.
17:45.02mheathWe're locked into the exact same GUI concepts we've been using for 20 years, with few exceptions.
17:47.48mheathtristanbob: I don't think thats what I'm talking about.
17:48.07mheathtristanbob: mine wasn't a complete GUI rehash, it was just a new background, and some subtle improvements to icons.
