14:50.54Zelutundertakingyou: no problem
14:52.35encryptzi have a question about that. why not 'sudo su -'?
14:52.47encryptzhow does that differ from 'sudo -i'?
14:54.43ZelutI actually can't find a reason why sudo su - doesn't work.. just sudo -i is the suggested method per the sudo documentation..
14:57.21encryptzit's less typing, but other than that, it process all the same login stuff, and creates a proper root shell
15:19.55Zelutdo I really need my feisty/gutsy mirror anymore?
15:20.18ZelutI'm thinking that after LTS that is my new mirror base and build from there.. I don't think I have / will use anything previous now.
15:29.08throckZelut: I pretty much agree - after I get everything upgraded I won't go backwards on versions.

16:35.22mheath_rmtWine devs make me angry
16:35.28mheath_rmtI might stop using Windows software
16:35.40mheath_rmtNot because I have anything against Windows software, I just have something against Wine :P
16:39.13Zelutwine is a crutch
16:41.07penounless it's actual wine, then it's tasty.

16:47.57Zelutsontek: I'm pulling down the 11beta3 DVD now to take a look.  Is it going to fantastically break on me in a VM?

17:05.14undertakingyouencryptz: wanted to know you opinion about HP calculators.  Specifically the HP 50g
17:05.27encryptzi don't have th 50g, but i love the 49g+
17:07.56undertakingyouI assume the 49g+ is just a slightly older model?  I ask because it looks like I need a calculator and I don't really like the TI's.
17:08.48encryptzyeah. it's a couple years old. findlay has the 50g. you should see what he thinks of it. but i must say, rpn > algebraic any day
17:10.27undertakingyoufindlay says that the 50g is like a golden calculating orical sent down from the heavens
17:10.40undertakingyouhe didn't really say that but he implied it.

17:41.58sontekZelut: I think the majority of testing is done on VM's in the openSUSE world so it should work just fine :)
17:42.08sontekZelut: are you grabbing livecd or dvd?
17:42.45Zelutsontek: DVD
17:45.07HundingWhere would I go to find a battery for my dell computer, that I could buy & pick up today?
17:45.16sontekZelut: it should work just fine, You'll probably want to look at this: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev
17:45.44sontekZelut: that site shows the *known* annoying bugs that are still in b3
17:45.51sontekand a lot of already been fixed since the dvd was made :P

18:05.31Zelutsontek: is it possible install and remove software and customize repositories without using yast?
18:08.50sontekZelut: yeah, use zypper
18:09.04sontekzypper lr  for list repos
18:09.09sontekzypper rr for remove repo
18:09.12sontekzypper ar for add repo
18:09.22sontekmr for modify repo
18:09.25sontekto install zypper in
18:09.29sontekremove zypper rm
18:09.34sonteksearch zypper se
18:10.05sontekI use yast for some system configuration, but I've never used it for software management
18:10.49Zelutyast always drives me freaking insane.
18:11.41sontekyeah, I can't stand it for software management, thats why i'm glad we are starting to move towards package kit
18:11.56sontekwe only use it for update manager right now, but its still better than what we had :P
18:12.27sontekI've never used the GTK yast so i'm not sure how bad its interface is, the ncurses one isn't bad, but still not great
18:17.03Zelutsontek: can I avoid it for everything? ie; i never want to use yast again.
18:21.59Zelutsontek: its just always felt terribly slow and hard to find what I'm looking for.
18:45.01sontekZelut: you've always been able to avoid it, its just a wrapper around normal app configuration, you can always do things the manual way
