00:37.55d33dHey, what's up? I'm thinking about getting my wife one of these EEE Pcs, any recommendations as far as the model? I'm planning on tossing Hardy on it...
00:38.22herlo9inch
00:38.52d33dam I wrong, or didn't zelut just get one for his wife?
00:38.57d33dAm I way off?
00:39.03d33dI could have gotten confused.
00:39.25herlohe got one for him, not sure about his wife
00:39.42Zelutd33d: Technoviking just got one for his wife.  I've had one since Christmas.
00:39.43herlobut I have the 7in model and love it
00:39.45d33dswear someone got one for their wife the other day...i was talking about them.

00:52.20Zelutherlo: gnome-terminal with the ability to split-view.  think window in vim, for the shell.

01:02.12sontekmirc!
01:04.21encryptzZelut: vertical splits, or just horizontal?
01:04.29encryptzscreen can do horizontal
01:04.32Zelutencryptz: either
01:04.40encryptzinteresting
01:06.09Zelutencryptz: its in hardy, just throw it on the machine and right-click to see the split options
01:06.25Zelutencryptz: ..although I think the split options are reversed.  I'm submitting a bug on it.
01:07.00encryptzyeah. i agree. definitely reversed
01:07.30encryptzhow to switch terminals with the keyboard?
01:08.04sontekZelut: are you talking something like:  http://sontek.net/screenshots/screenshot-4-30-2008.png
01:09.31sontekthe top part is vim, bottom part is a shell
01:09.43encryptzsontek: you're using screen though
01:10.12encryptzdo a vertical split with screen
01:10.16sontekencryptz: yeah, I like screen :)
01:10.23encryptzmetto
01:10.37encryptzs/tto/ to/
01:10.48encryptzer, whatever
01:11.08sontekencryptz: latest screen has vertical splits
01:11.40Zelutlike this: http://zelut.org/projects/misc/terminator.png
01:11.59Zelutoops, projects/misc/images/terminator.png
01:12.40Zelutgnome terminal split in half and then in half again on the right.  three shells open on my server, monitoring htop, auth.log & error.log.
01:13.08encryptzsontek: what version?
01:14.16sontekencryptz: svn
01:14.29sontekTheres been a patch for it for about 2 years
01:14.37sontekbut as I understand, they just committed it
01:14.51sontekor are planning on committing
01:15.00encryptzi've always been under the impression that screen was abandonware
01:15.02sontekbut the patch has been available for anyone who wants it
01:15.13encryptzwe got it to a point that we want it, so there
01:15.23sontekI don't ever need vertsplits
01:15.32sontekfor terminal anyways
01:15.35sontekI use them in vim itself
01:16.18encryptzyeah. i guess i use it in vim mostly. i would like to use it in irssi though
01:16.30*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut nearn (n=burn@64.251.22.233)
01:19.30sontekencryptz: yeah, I don't do many splits in irssi
01:19.41sontekencryptz: I used screen for each off my servers
01:19.54sontekso theres not many times I'd need to split
01:20.23sontekZelut: and for logging like what you are doing, I just turning monitoring on and use multiple screens
01:20.30sontekZelut: and it alerts me when a log changed
01:20.50sontekI can definitely see the usage though, i'm thinking about installing terminator
01:20.56sontekbut with screen, it works in any term
01:21.00sonteknot just gnome-term
01:22.08ZelutI find that I'm using it more and more.. although it needs quite a bit of improvement.
01:22.21Zelutkeyboard shortcuts for splitting windows for one
01:22.34sontekdo you use screen much?
01:22.45sontekI think you'd be able to get by with only screen
01:22.57sontekif you don't mind only horizontal splits (or patching your screen manually)

23:53.00mheathLVM + encryption was a breeze with Ubuntu.
23:53.40tgelterhmm...root's at 90%, no big deal, lvresize, cryptsetup resize, resize2fs, done
23:54.09tgelteryeah, it's good to be a linux user
23:54.19mheathhehe :-)
23:54.58asadgosh I didnt understand that jargon even 1 %
23:55.15mheathasad: LVM is "Linux Volume Manager".
23:55.21asadguess thats the difference between newbies and pros
23:55.26Heartsbaneasad: man lvm
23:55.31mheathEssentially, it lets you slice up your hard drive into sections that are managable in lots of powerful ways.
23:55.58mheathYou can store data on one of these slices...
23:56.02asadoh you mean its a new partition type ? like ex2/ ex2
23:56.12mheathNope, it's lower level than that.
23:56.17mheathIt's like partitions.
23:56.20mheathBut more powerful.
23:56.54mheathIt's like a smart partition - a partition you can resize on the fly, a partition you can do lots of abstract things with.
23:57.15asadoh ok I'll dig into further and read online to get aquainted. All I noticed that 8.04 didnt work well for me . ATI drivers didnt recognize the Compiz and wireless went down .
23:57.26tgelterwhat's the upstart equivalent to chkconfig?
