00:07.26MikeBis anyone coming, we did have two people show up
00:08.00ZelutMikeB: my pregnant wife is not up for it :(
00:08.17MikeBZelut: That make sense:)
00:08.24ZelutMikeB: I hate to not show up to any of our events, but I'm sure you know how a pregnant wife can be.
00:08.29mheathsorry rain == not excited about the idea
00:08.52MikeBno problem, I'm going to head out
00:09.10mheathMikeB: Have fun.

00:51.38mheathYah! That is absolutely friggin outstanding!
00:51.48mheathMy laptop just decided to arbitrarily turn itself into a brick.
00:54.07Zelutmheath: trying suspend on my emachines does that. a have to pull the power, pull the battery, wait and try again.
00:54.33mheathZelut: Uh, tried all of that.
00:54.46mheathZelut: How long do you have the wait?
00:55.09mheathI've pulled out the battery and held down the power button which is HP/COmpaq's approved method of clearing everything
00:55.43Zelutmheath: ohh I've thought I bricked it for good before.  I've let it sit for a few hours on occasion before it'd come back on
00:55.56Zelutafter that I just stopped messing with suspend on that machine and filed a bug
00:56.03mheathZelut: What did it behave like?
00:56.07mheathMine powers on....
00:56.09mheathbut no display
00:56.15mheathCD spins around a bit
00:56.21Zelutmheath: poweron, no display (no bios, etc) and just sits.
00:56.43mheathZelut: Thanks for the advice
00:56.43Zelutmheath: pulled all power and let it sit for a few hours and tried again. it eventually came back.
00:56.52mheathYou've made me slightly less worried-and-pissed off
00:57.06mheathLoosing a $1,000 randomly would not be cool.
00:57.30mheathProblem, though...this isn't a suspend. This was a hibernate
00:57.41mheathWhich, as far as the BIOS and physical hardware is concerned, is the same as shutting the machine down.
01:15.57herloemail's are fun!
01:16.11herlos/'//g
01:16.18herloI hate bears!
01:16.31herlothey keep killing Otis
01:20.02mheathEh? O.o
01:21.04Zelutman, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 for 6G sure does take a while
01:28.38mheathZelut: Hah, yeah.
01:29.07mheathYou could write a program that could do that much faster if you really wanted to.
01:29.30mheatherm, nevermind. I misread /dev/urandom as /dev/zero for some reason.
02:08.56herloZelut: I wonder if the BBQ happened?  I apologize I couldn't come, my roommate and I were stupid and forgot our housekeys.  Had to wait for the other roommate to get home...
02:09.16herloZelut: did you know that you don't have a count?
02:09.20herloin your dd statement
02:48.41herloZelut: ping
02:59.04Heartsbaneherlo: there were like 7 of us, everyone else whoose'd out because of the weather

03:02.26herloHeartsbane: cool.  I'm glad that's coming through.  Other groups are latching onto it too.
03:02.37Heartsbanejust getting together for lunch downtown SLC to eat lunch and talk ideas
03:03.10herloHeartsbane: yeah, its lots of fun.  I've been to quite a few.  I'd like to get a list up that covers all of these types of events.  
03:03.14Heartsbanecause occasionally we are all could get together on occassion for lunch
03:03.19herloyeah!
03:03.59herloUPHPU has them once a month, looks like PLUG is trying to join up.  Its cool that we've decided to grow as a community and do more.... :P
03:04.07Heartsbaneit was phun talking to MikeB most I have ever heard him talk...we talked alot about Gutsy
03:04.19HeartsbaneThe new Printer interface
03:04.21herloHeartsbane: he seems quite reserved...
03:04.38herlobut I think he's a very bright guy the little that I've talked with him...
03:05.15Heartsbaneherlo: did you enjoy your wait in the rain
03:06.29Heartsbane<place dramatic pause here>
03:12.26herloHeartsbane: nah, no rain.  Just went to the mall

03:21.01herloHeartsbane: very nice

03:23.44Heartsbaneundertakingyou: ya its is because I watch too much IFC
03:24.04HeartsbaneI wouldn't know who he was without it
03:24.16undertakingyouI have never heard of that guy till now, and what a mohawk.
03:25.03HeartsbaneImagine him skiing down a mountain in a Warren Miller movie catching big air
03:25.38Heartsbaneundertakingyou: do you know how to see how many actually bytes an appliance is using?
03:25.44herloI've seen him skiing in a warren miller movie too, just didn't know his name.
03:25.45Heartsbanewell anyone really
03:25.52undertakingyouNo, I don't
03:26.10Heartsbaneits not ps aux | grep <appliance>
03:26.28HeartsbaneI want to know actual bytes, not a percentage
03:27.20atoponcenumber_of_bytes_in_ram * %
03:28.06Heartsbaneyes
03:29.31Heartsbaneatoponce: there is no way to get it so spit out the actual # of bytes it is currently using?
03:29.51HeartsbaneI guess i will just do it on a calculator
03:30.45herloHeartsbane: possibly, you could use the -o switch with ps
03:34.54Heartsbanegot it thx
03:37.08herloHeartsbane: did that actually work?
03:38.29Heartsbanewell it pointed me in the right direction ps -eF | grep <appliance>
03:39.51herlooh, you were using aux weren't you
03:40.04Heartsbaneoriginally
03:42.05Heartsbaneundertakingyou: MikeB: Ya I think I am going to backup the last of the info off my machine and try the Gutsy
03:42.26undertakingyouYou should man.  It is really good
03:44.20herloHeartsbane: w00t!
03:44.25Zelut7.10 gtw!
03:44.33Zelut*ftw
03:44.37Heartsbanehehehe
03:44.50MikeBHeartsbane:woot
03:45.28Heartsbaneit just sounds better
03:46.04MikeBHeartsbane: the beta will be out in five days if that make you more comfortable
03:53.36HeartsbaneMikeB: Zelut: undertakingyou: Tribe5 is the new current?
03:53.47undertakingyouyeah
03:54.01undertakingyouThey were going to do 6 but they canned it.
03:54.33ZelutHeartsbane: yes
03:54.45ZelutHeartsbane: beta release is in 5 days (27th)
03:55.04HeartsbaneZelut: I will be in Canuckistan in 5 days
03:55.08ZelutHeartsbane: post beta, RC on the 11th, final on the 18th.
03:55.23ZelutHeartsbane: they have the interweb in canukistan too you know
03:55.34herloZelut: someone mentioned that Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE will be releasing within one month of each other this time.  
03:55.34HeartsbaneZelut: not where I am
03:55.50herloZelut: and that we should do a three pronged release party as the result.  What do you think?
03:56.20Zelutherlo: well we're trying to plan one for the 20th but we'll be happy to participate in a community party as well.
03:56.30herloZelut: Oct 20?
03:56.41Zelutherlo: yes, its the saturday post-release
03:56.51Zelutrelease parties midweek are difficult
03:57.03herlobut doesn't want to miss the release parties
03:57.08Zelut..plus, who knows where in the country I'll be that week
03:57.31Heartsbaneherlo: as long as we don't have Steve shouting over people about the nature of how SuSe will rule all, and how SLEZ <sp?> is great because it prompts you for the root password to shutdown at the console
03:57.42herloZelut: lets plan on doing both then.  I think it'll be awesome.  We could set up a network install server that will install any/all of the distros over a network
03:58.01herloHeartsbane: SLES (Suse Linux Enterprise Server)
03:58.53HeartsbaneI didn't say any of that... in fact .. forget that happened
03:59.03herloHeartsbane: I think its good for the community to compare.  I won't *ban* anyone.  If you feel threatened (which you shouldn't), I'd be surprised...
03:59.24herloZelut: thank you, that's a good approach
03:59.48HeartsbaneCome on... its still worth a chuckle... just a little one.
03:59.51Zelutthe three SUSE users in the state might get offended ;)
03:59.57herloLOL
04:00.07herloZelut: I know of four, don't forget sontek
04:00.35HeartsbaneLinux Torvalds will not endorse your blog.
04:02.07HeartsbaneZelut: so since I am going to Canuckistan, will Tribe 5 update to Gutsy release candidate 1 when I get back or will I have to re-install?
04:02.29undertakingyouWhat is avahi-daemon?
04:03.48ZelutHeartsbane: it'll update to beta, RC and final all just fine
04:03.49MikeBHeartsbane: you can sudo aptitude dist-upgrade to rc
04:04.04ZelutMikeB: dist-upgrade is now full-upgrade.. and upgrade is now safe-upgrade
04:04.20Heartsbanewhat is the difference?
04:05.15ZelutHeartsbane: just minor changes in the commands to do the same thing.
04:05.48Zelutused to be update ; upgrade ; dist-upgrade.  now is update ; safe-upgrade ; full-upgrade.  same result, altered commands

04:21.18Zelutundertakingyou: digg it? my friend that put it together is hoping for enough positive response to get it merged
04:21.29sontekNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
04:21.33sonteknonononononono
04:21.34sontekno!
04:21.40sontekNO!
04:21.47sontekgrr
04:21.49sontek>:|
04:21.50HeartsbaneDo it now!
04:21.53Zelutwow
04:22.04Zelutthat's a lot of nos
04:22.10sontekZelut: herlo told me you guys called me a suse user in here earlier
04:22.15sontekZelut: had to fight it
04:22.23Zelutsontek: herlo called you a suse user, not me
04:22.31sontekZelut: he shall die!
04:22.35Zelutsontek: all I said was I wasn't going to badmouth suse.. the three users in utah might cry.
04:22.36sontek~runwithscissors herlo
04:22.40HeartsbaneI was a witness
04:22.41herlo~herlo sontek
04:22.41jbotACTION pokes sontek in they eye with a sharp needle
04:23.14herlosontek: this is true, I did call you a suse user and I did a good job luring you here too !
04:23.18herloquite the nice trap!
04:23.20sontekif suse had more stable packages and provided better upgrade paths it'd be my favorite distro
04:23.34sontekherlo: you are a crafty fellow
04:23.35herlosontek: you say things liek that about *every* distro
04:23.44sontekherlo: except for gentoo :D
04:23.47sontekherlo: gentoo is perfect
04:23.48herlosontek: nope
04:24.05herlosontek: you said if Gentoo could build packages in half the time, it'd be your favorite distro
04:24.08herloI remember
04:24.28sontekno, it *is* my favorite distro, If it had binary packages it would be the one I ran on my laptop ;)
04:24.45sontekmy laptop needs to do things fast
04:24.46herloJust like with Fedora, you said if Fedora could get its repositories (albeit third party repos) straightened out, itd be your favorite distro
04:24.48sonteksince I do all my work on it
04:25.08herlosontek: for Ubuntu, I'm sure you can find something, maybe
04:25.21herloif Ubuntu didn't use sudo for every command it would be my favorite distro?
04:25.30herlo:)
04:25.31sontekherlo: in order of sontek distro love:  Gentoo -> SUSE -> Fedora -> Ubuntu
04:25.32Heartsbaneherlo: has sontek ever said anything criticizing MickeySoft?
04:25.34herlooh, and what about slackware?
04:25.43herloHeartsbane: unknown
04:25.50sontekherlo: slackware needs a package manager and needs to support gnome
04:25.54herloHeartsbane: is MickeySoft disney?
04:25.58sontekherlo: and then it would be my favorite!
04:26.05herlosontek: I was just gonna ask that
04:26.59sontek1. Suse isn't stable and doesn't provide a good upgrade path. 2. Fedora doesn't provide enough packages (although suse build service is actually helping with that). 3. Ubuntu makes to many decisions just to be different
04:27.45herlosontek: what about dsl, slax and LFS
04:28.13sontekherlo: dsl is to damn small ;)
04:30.12undertakingyouZelut: I dugg it.  That really is smooth
04:31.18herloundertakingyou: link please
04:31.52undertakingyouhttp://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Human_Gnome_Screensaver_Lock_Dialog_Theme
04:32.02undertakingyouSorry, it is long
04:34.27sontekI think fedoras/suses both look better
04:34.46herloundertakingyou: not that long
04:36.06herlosontek: fedora's is nice, but this one isn't bad...
04:37.21sontekits not bad
04:37.29sontekI just think fedora and suse have a cleaner look
04:37.48sonteksuse is better at pretty than any of the other distros
04:37.55sontekit just sucks at stability :P
04:42.16sontekwhen I try to mount the iso i'm getting "mount: not a directory" even though it is
04:42.22sontekhas full permissions and everything
04:54.35herlosontek: agreed.  SUSE is *very* pretty
04:54.51herlohow are you mounting it?
04:55.08herlosontek: is this inside the fedora install?
04:55.12sontekI think the iso is bad
04:55.26*** part/#ubuntu-utah undertakingyou (n=will@71-219-84-186.slkc.qwest.net)
04:55.34sontekI did mkisofs on some files and mounted it on loop
04:55.36sontekand it worked
04:55.50sontekI didn't test it after I downloaded it
04:57.33herlosontek: which reminds me.  I asked you about that recently
04:58.05sontekherlo: about?
04:58.12herloI need to make an iso.  Its not a bootable one, but its going to do autorun on windows and needs to support long filenames, etc.  
04:58.24herlosontek: ^^ that
04:59.23sontekahh, yeah, you just have to pass your isolevel as 4
05:00.30sontekherlo: theres also something like -max-filenames
05:00.37sontekits in the man
05:00.58sontekyeah, max-iso9660-filenames
05:04.13sontekso mkisofs /home/ > /test.iso -max-iso9660-filenamaes
05:04.31sontek3mb/sec download from tds =)
05:04.44sontek2gbs in less than 15 minutes
05:07.33herlosontek: yeah, saw that
05:07.43herlosontek: I did something like that, so it should work yo usay
05:07.47herlo?
05:08.02sontekyeah, I do it for katie with image cds
05:08.47herlosontek: and now with genisoimage you can make mac based ones too...
05:08.54herlodunno if you could do that before...
05:09.20sontekI dunno, apple is the devil
05:13.11sonteki'm gonna raid the uofu surplus when I get back and snag up a cheap mac if they have any just so I can test our iris stuff on one
05:13.16sontekonly problem is it has to run osx
05:14.06HeartsbaneNight all
05:14.20sontekHeartsbane: gnight!
05:14.26sontekHeartsbane: i'm gonna own ya at p42!
05:14.31sonteki'm bringing ut2k4
05:14.34sontekand q3
05:15.12sontekI was hoping they'd release a quake wars binary
05:15.13Heartsbanesontek: I won't be playing games anyway... being staff @ p42 is a lot like being a game warden at the time of hunting season
05:17.20sontekHeartsbane: but then how am I supposed to own you?
05:17.41sontekHeartsbane: when we ran mpcon we just rotated shifts so everyone could get games in
05:17.46sontekHeartsbane: but we also had an age limit
05:18.00sontekso we didn't have to worry about to much immaturity
05:18.11sontekit was more of worrying which cs clan was going to key the others first
05:18.15sontek:P
05:18.23Heartsbaneya I know...
05:19.26HeartsbaneI will work something out ... so you can feel superior
05:20.39Heartsbanenight
05:21.34sontekgnight!
05:41.25herlodamn it!  I keep getting interrupted with phone calls
05:41.28herlooops
05:41.33herlo~language herlo
05:41.33jbotACTION grabs herlo by the ear and washes herlo's mouth out with soap
05:42.16herlosontek: okay, so I didn't see how do to the isolevel 4 thing, but I'll figure it out...
05:42.39sontekyou might not need isolevel 4
05:42.58sontekbut its just -iso-level 4
05:43.16herlok, I'm looking for it now in the man page
05:43.53sontekI don't remember the differences between the levels
05:44.04sontekok, so I finally have everything backed up
05:44.08sontekand have a real fedora iso
05:44.27herlosontek: it appears that I need it
05:44.35herloin the man page, they describe all the levels
05:44.44herlosontek: sweet!
05:45.19sontekand I have an ftp server setup on windows box
05:46.44herlocool
05:46.51herloshould be simple enough then
05:46.55sontekherlo: so what file do I need to dd to the usb drive?
05:47.15sontekI don't see bootdisk.img on the dvd
05:47.34sontekor do they provide a seperate download for it
05:48.02herlosontek: its in images
05:48.07herlocalled diskboot.img IIRC
05:48.21herloends in .img for sure and it doesn't say *net* in it
05:49.06sontekwhats the syntax for a recursive find for all files with .img
05:49.31herlosontek: its in the image directory off the root of the cd
05:49.33sontekis it just find . -name "*.img"
05:49.41herlosontek: you don't even need the .
05:49.51sontektheres the isolinux folder
05:49.51herlofind assumes current dir if one isn't provided
05:49.57herlosame level
05:50.00sontekoh, images
05:50.03herloshould be an images dir
05:50.04sontekI didn't see that the first time
05:50.08sontekyeah its there
05:50.10herlookay
05:50.11sontekI just missed it
05:50.17herloyeah, I now
05:50.20herlo*know
05:50.22herlo:)
05:50.56sontekand should the filesystem be ext2 on the partition?
05:51.04herlofor?
05:51.08sontekthe usb stick
05:51.14sontekor will dd take care of it all
05:51.16herloext2/3 or vfat will work
05:51.21herlodd will take care of it
05:51.41herlodd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdb (full disk)
05:51.47herloyour sd may vary
05:52.56sontekok
05:53.00sontekbrb, gonna try to boot
05:53.19herlok
05:54.07sontekso at the boot prompt "linux askmethod" ?
05:54.52sontekherlo: you should give me another novell usb stick so I can have a dedicated booter :P
05:55.06sontekI can see how having it would be convenient :P
05:55.19herlosontek: come to dinner Oct 13...
05:55.39sontekas far as I know all be there

05:59.07sontekw00t, installer is working
05:59.17sonteki'll have fedora in no time
05:59.57sontekfound a bug in the installer
06:00.01sontekit checks disks twice
06:00.02sontek:P
06:00.13sontekits like oh noes sdb is loop!
06:00.16sonteki'm like ignore!
06:00.21sontekits like oh noes sdb is loop!
06:00.24sonteki'm like ignore!
06:00.27sontekand then all was good
06:07.46herlosontek: isn't the network install cool? or did you do the hd one?
06:08.04herlobtw, you should probably start the install over and pull the usb disk as you see the first blue screen
06:08.22sontekherlo: I did network via ftp
06:08.31herlootherwise Fedora will try to install parts of the os/bootloader on your usb drive
06:08.32sontekherlo: why?
06:08.40sontekherlo: but I told it to ignore it
06:08.44herloeven if you pulled it after the ignore
06:08.46herloI now
06:08.48herloI know
06:09.15herloIts dumb, but the rationale is that anything you have in your drive will still be considered available by the bootloader
06:09.24herloYou can try it if you like...it won't hurt to continue
06:09.27herloexcept time
06:09.44herloif it doesn't work, just install again
06:10.14sontekI don't have much time :P, its 2am here already
06:10.32sontekI wanna sleep atleast 2 hours, thats usually good enough
06:10.39herloYeah, I know.  I've been on the east coast a bunch.  I know how it gets late easily enough
06:10.58sontekyeah it sucks
06:11.06herloI'd say it can't hurt to start over now.  It literally will only take 30-40 minutes at most to install
06:11.17sontekyeah, I already restarted
06:11.19herloassuming you are fast at partitioning and choosing packages
06:11.34herloso when you see the "English" choice, just pull the USB
06:11.52sonteki'm just going to have 500mb boot, and then rest on an lvm
06:12.37sontekgnats are a waste
06:12.49sontekbut they are better than mosquitos
06:14.35herlo500mb boot? wow, that's big
06:15.28sontekherlo: I give it 500mb just because I have a 100gb drive and I have to use it somewhere :P
06:15.39sontekand I used to play with a bunch of bootloader images and stuff
06:15.41herloyeah
06:15.42sonteki'm to lazy to do that now
06:15.49herlotoo lazy you mean
06:15.56herlohehe
06:16.06sontekto lazy to type the extra o
06:16.10sontek:D
06:16.53herlologging into my windersxp now to test my iso
06:19.31herlow00t!
06:25.29herlosontek: I'm transferring the iso now...
06:28.46sontekyaaay
06:29.07sontekFedora 7.91 is installing right now
06:29.34sontekthen I need to brush my teeth because i'm on my 5th code
06:29.35sontekcoke*
06:29.40sontekI hate coke
06:30.47sontekits fun to watch the file transfers on the ftp server
06:31.55sontekyou can raid lvms can't you?
06:32.05sonteki'm picking up 4 750gbs from newegg
06:32.35sontekso i'm thinking 2 lvm pvs (each 1500gb) and then raid those
06:32.41sontekraid/mirror
06:33.14sontekwell, thats wrong
06:33.24sontekit'd be 4 pvs, at 750gb
06:35.02herlodoood! I works!
06:35.27herlosontek: you can lvm raids is a better way
06:36.01herloso you make a big raid 1 or something and then use LVM as the volume type.  then make lvs from that...
06:36.03sontekherlo: w00t, you are teh leet
06:36.14sontekherlo: that makes sense
06:36.23herlosontek: I made my S4 cd all automated and it pretty much works!
06:36.33sontekI just want a redundant 1.5tb
06:36.50sontekWe just lost 600gb's of tv shows because a drive died
06:37.31sontekso I don't want that to happen anymore
06:37.43herloraid 1
06:37.52herloalthough raid5 could be better
06:37.59herloor rather raid6
06:38.38herlosontek: I'd suggest you do two separate disks though.  If you don't have that, RAID isn't gonna help you much
06:39.14sontekherlo: i'm doing 4 disks
06:39.18sontekherlo: 4 750gbs
06:39.30sontekherlo: so each disk will have a mirror
06:40.04sontekand then I just want lvm for convenience
06:42.50sontekI really should've told dax I didn't want to start until november
06:43.00sontekthen I could take the last 2 weeks of october off and relax
06:43.28herlowoot
06:43.59herloyeah, LVM is very convenient on a laptop actually.  I use it a lot to move my volumes around
06:44.20herloand with Grub 2 coming out soon, you'll be able to have boot on lvm too
06:44.30herlosontek: yeah, it'd be nice to have some down time...
06:44.35sontekhow do you have your laptop partitioned?
06:44.41sontekI just have /home and / on LVM
06:44.45sontekso I can share the space where needed
06:44.47sontekand swap
06:45.40sontekI don't mind not having boot on lvm
06:46.03sontekbut it'd be nice if I was running *really* low on space and could snagup a few 100mbs from it
06:46.21sontekbut I don't torrent on my lappy anymore its not a problem
06:46.59herloI have 10 - 10G partitions and one small boot partition
06:47.09sontekfor?
06:47.11herloI use everything on LVM except boot
06:47.30sontekso you have like /var /etc  and all that on seperate partitions?
06:47.39herloand I have /home, /, /var and /data (where I keep my data) there
06:47.48sontekI keep data in /home
06:47.56herloI do as well, except its all in links
06:48.01sontekbut my lappy isn't multi user
06:48.05herlothat way I don't have to backup my /home dir
06:48.10herloneither is mine really
06:48.34sontekso home/herlo is actually /data/home/herlo ?
06:48.46sontekor /home/herlo/code  is /data/code
06:48.46herloanyway, so I then use the others for increasing/decreasing my /data and using it else where
06:48.54herlothe latter
06:49.26sontekthat actually makes sense because I was thinking about creating a 'demo' user for when I do talks
06:49.40sontekso it'd be nice to have all my scripts in a central place both users can share
06:50.42herloyeah, so I have all my *data* in /data
06:50.50herloand my configs are all separated out that way
06:51.15herloI have like 65G of data in /data and then the rest is configs/extra space/etc
06:52.45sontekI've gots me a fedora lappy now
06:52.51sontekflappy as I like to call it
06:53.23sontekxen kernel still doesn't booth though
06:53.35sontekI should probably figure out why and submit a bug
06:53.40sontekbut I don't understand xen at all
06:53.49sontekmaybe stephen can help debug it
06:58.00herloyou need to run kvm instead
06:58.03herloit rocks!
07:07.55sontekwell, I need to go to sleep for 3 hours, w00t, more than I expected
07:08.00sonteknow that I have my fedora
07:08.27sontekand I ported blogengine.net to mono on the plane
07:08.32sontekso i'll have a blog pretty soon

15:04.56synicok... in compiz in Gutsy, how do I get the settings I change in the "Advanced Desktop Effects" dialog to actually take effect?
15:06.52Zelutsynic: on my box changes in there have been immediate
15:07.14synicI get nothing, even if I restart X
15:07.23synicthe cube doesn't work, no hotkeys for switching workspaces
15:13.13synicZelut: doe any of your hotkeys work?  What about changing desktops?  Can you rotate the cube, and if so, how?
15:16.55sonteksynic: are you sure compiz is running?
15:17.04synicyeah, I get all the effects
15:17.15synicbut just the basic ones, like wobbly windows and etc.
15:17.49Zeluti usually turn the effects off so I haven't tried but I can poke around in a bit
15:18.51sontekthats weird, are they still running compiz or is it compiz-fusion now?
15:19.10sontekthey might have the configuration options for beryl and compiz installed
15:19.17sontekand the setting you are looking at might be for beryl
15:19.27sontekthey should be instantaneous
15:19.57synicnah, the window title says compiz
15:20.48sontekI've got nothing then, you can try configuring it from console
15:21.43Heartsbanesynic: just blame cyclone
15:22.02sontekdo something like compiz --replace to make sure its actually compiz running and not beryl
15:22.06sontekand then change the settings
15:22.17synicyeah, tried that.

20:55.14penoI need to finish getting it setup under wine.
20:55.51undertakingyouIt was easy to setup
20:56.08Hearts|laptopundertakingyou: you will find that it expands and contracts in memory as it needs it, the memory model I quoted last night was on startup..
20:56.22Hearts|laptopundertakingyou: now you just need to ditch Qwest
20:56.40undertakingyouyes, yes I do

21:25.23mheathIt just spontaneously stopped working, too
21:25.30mheathNo reason or explanation
21:25.44mheathGoes to hibernate (testing hibernate in Ubuntu), won't power on after it shuts down
21:25.51GateI suddenly have flashes of the various ways my lappie could die, the fountain, the window, that rainstorm yesterday
21:26.00Gate:o
21:26.28GateTry killing all power and removing the battery+ holding the power button for a sec, then trying it?
21:27.17Gatewait, won't power on? ouch (was thinking won't boot)
21:27.33Gatethen again that doesn't make sense either
21:37.05mheathGate: It powers on, sorry.
21:37.11mheathYeah, tried all that
21:37.26Gateok, it does power on but not boot?
21:37.30mheathSat for like 12 hours with main and BIOS non-volatile memory batteries out
21:37.46mheathGate: Powers on == The power light turns on, and the CD-ROM drive has irradic behavior.
21:37.50mheathAnd the HDD too
21:37.53Zelutlooks like bluehost can't keep up with my blog
21:38.11mheathI'm never purchasing a Compaq laptop again
21:38.12Gatemheath: so this happens before BIOS menu?
21:38.18mheathGate: Before anything
21:38.29mheathThe screen backlight doesn't even turn on
21:38.52GateI would remove the HDD and the CD drive and see if you can get into BIOS then
21:39.04GateHow old is the laptop? still under warranty?
21:39.22mheathGate: Nope, not under warranty
21:39.28mheathsame thing happened to it before when it was under warranty
21:39.32mheathThey had to replace the mainboard in it
21:39.36Gate*ouch*
21:39.46mheathGate: I've tried booting with different RAM...
21:39.57mheathMInus HDD, CD-ROM, and Wireless
21:40.17Gatewhat if you strip everything out, including the ram? do you get the no-ram beeps?
21:40.36mheathHaven't tried that. Hmm.
21:41.02mheathNot like it will help me much if it does beep, though :P
21:41.19mheathI had a fair amount of work on there that I hadn't backed up
21:41.40mheathI had it setup to give a presentation next week at OALUG, too :(
21:42.24Gatemheath: I highly doubt the HDD is dead

21:42.37Gateall you have to do is use one of those external HDD kits
21:42.41mheathBut I have nothing to hook it up to
