[06:35] <Adityab> I have a Macbook Air and I'm going to dual-boot it with OSX and kubuntu.
[06:35] <Adityab> Should I get the special 'mac' iso?
[06:35] <Adityab> (looks like I should, but I want to know what's special about it :P)
[07:04] <eagles0513875> Adityab there is no need if u
[07:04] <eagles0513875> you use bootcamp
[07:04] <eagles0513875> just choose 32 or 64 bit
[07:07] <Adityab> oh
[07:07] <Adityab> eagles0513875: How's bootcamp different from reFIT?
[07:08]  * Adityab has been using a mac since just 3 months or so. complete noob I am.
[07:08] <eagles0513875> Adityab: never used reFIT bootcamp is part of osx
[07:08] <Shaan7> Adityab: ah that porcelain doll ;)
[07:08] <Adityab> Shaan7: ;-)
[07:09] <eagles0513875> its meant for windows dual boot but I've used it for Linux too
[07:09] <Adityab> ok. giving it a try
[07:09] <Adityab> thanks :)
[07:09] <eagles0513875> my pleasure
[07:10] <Adityab> Shaan7: Yeah, the doll looks great, but I don't like her personality.
[07:11] <Shaan7> Adityab: yea, and like all other she-s, you gotta spend lots of monies on her :P
[07:11] <Adityab> heh
[07:11] <Adityab> Linux feels like home.
[07:11] <Adityab> Affair's over.
[07:12] <Shaan7> Adityab: ok you've given an option, MacBook Pro or Dell XPS Ultrabook (both same config), what would you choose?
[07:12] <Adityab> Shaan7: MBP.
[07:12] <Adityab> But if you throw a thinkpad into the mix, then that rules.
[07:12] <Shaan7> Adityab: cool, someone else made the same choice, and now you're there to tell me the reason :P
[07:12] <Adityab> Shaan7: Excellent hardware?
[07:13] <Adityab> Compared to a Dell XPS.
[07:13] <Shaan7> Adityab: have you used a XPS?
[07:13] <Adityab> Yeah
[07:13] <Shaan7> Sudhendu's XPS is rock solid dude, the only thing that beats that is TP
[07:13] <Adityab> They all differ of course, so I can't pass universal judgement.
[07:14] <Shaan7> yea though a back-broken guy like me would've loved a lighter machine ;)
[07:14] <Adityab> Shaan7: Gotta love apple screens and trackpads.
[07:14] <Adityab> The rest is just looks.
[07:14] <Adityab> hehe
[07:14] <Shaan7> Adityab: I have a grudge against that screen man
[07:14] <Shaan7> Apple: why u reflect so much lightz?
[07:15] <Adityab> Yeah, why don't laptop makers give matte screens these days.
[07:15] <Shaan7> yea, but I wonder why Apple loves that, just because it looks shiny?
[07:15] <Adityab> I know of only the Thinkpad and a couple of high-end dell laptops that have matte.
[07:15] <Shaan7> the display quality is cool otherwise
[07:15] <Adityab> Shaan7: shiny. yep. :P
[07:16] <Adityab> They took 'shiny' too literally, I feel.
[07:16] <Shaan7> well I have the cheapest TP out there, and it has matte
[07:16] <Shaan7> so yes, right
[07:16] <Adityab> Shaan7: Company laptop?
[07:17] <Adityab> Thinkpads are … perfect.
[07:17] <Shaan7> Adityab: no, personal. Company is a Latitude, because I didn't want a MBP.
[07:17] <Adityab> Thinkpads are the N900's of the Laptop world.
[07:17] <Shaan7> though they're now offering the ultrabook :(
[07:17] <Adityab> Shaan7: Latitude series is neat
[07:18] <Shaan7> Adityab: yep, just way too thick ;)
[07:18] <Adityab> Yeah
[07:18] <Adityab> Shaan7: I believe latitude laptops come with a removable dock
[07:18] <Shaan7> yep
[07:18] <Adityab> that makes them reasonably thinner once taken off.
[07:18] <Shaan7> we dont have the dock at office though
[07:18] <Adityab> hmm.
[07:18] <Shaan7> err no, its thick even without that
[07:19] <Shaan7> but otherwise the build is very nice, plus dell will replace stuff for free, even if you break it, bwahaa
[07:19] <Adityab> Nice!
[07:20] <Adityab> In the far future, I may just buy one of those ZaReason or System76 laptops just because they're nice to linux.
[07:20] <Shaan7> but then I envy ksinny as well, nothing better than a TP X
[07:20] <Adityab> ah

[13:06] <Okitain> Hey guys, I've got all flash/sd drives mount only to read.
[13:07] <xixor> hi
[13:07] <Okitain> Where do I look to switch it off?
[13:35] <RiotingPacifist> !multitouch
[13:35] <RiotingPacifist> Is it possible to do multitouch guestures on a normal trackpad? e.g not a mac
[13:36] <Okitain> Yes?
[13:37] <Okitain> If there is capability for such things in the notebook, ofc.
[13:37] <RiotingPacifist> How can I find out?
[13:42] <invariant> Okitain, it seems unlikely that this doesn't require some kind of special drivers.
[13:42] <invariant> Okitain, moreover, even if the drivers would be there, you still need to have applications that understand these events.
[13:43] <invariant> Okitain, saying it's like the most normal thing in the world is entirely non-obvious.
[14:02] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[14:05] <RiotingPacifist> Hi BluesKaj

[19:29] <glasscup> I have a problem with qmake for QT. It causes a mismatch of the version of qt when I compile. Is there a newbie tut for jailing a process so it cannot look in directories? I'd reather have qmake tell me it cannot access a file than give me a version mismatch.
[19:34] <liucecks> hi
[19:34] <xixor> hi
[19:34] <xixor> glasscup: do you have multiple versions of qt installed?
[19:35] <glasscup> xixor: originally no, I just had 4.8.4. That is the version I get the mismatch on. I then downloaed 4.8.3 and the problem is gone. I assume when I'm using 4.8.4 qmake is looking in /usr/lib/kde4 for something.
[19:45] <glasscup> I guess I should put it more simply. Is there a way to run a process and generate a log of the directories that process is accessing?
[19:49] <xixor> I think that it gets the directories from whatever the shell has in the path.. not sure though.  Are you calling qmake from QtCreator?
[19:49] <xixor> and do you have libqt4-dev installed?
[19:51] <xixor> QtCreateor has facilities for setting the environment, and choosing which QtSDK version to use... might be handy
[19:52] <glasscup> Yes it is installed. I get the mismatch from running qmake from the shell and from QtCreator. I've set the $PATH variable appropriately.
[20:12] <InspectorCluseau> Anyone have the problem that the KDM logout window does not appear? My google search led me to the kdmrc file. It turned out it was missing the line TerminateServer=true. Adding that fixed the problem.
[20:14] <xixor> InspectorCluseau: what is the logout window?  that little button in the center of the screen that says "Logout" ?
[20:14] <xixor> oh wait, you're using kdm?  and not lightdm?
[20:15] <InspectorCluseau> The window that pops up that has 'leave' in it
[20:15] <InspectorCluseau> I guess so
[20:16] <InspectorCluseau> I have a sort of mixture here :)
[20:16] <xixor> I miss kdm... I guess it is an  ubuntubnubu thing to go to lightdm
[20:17] <InspectorCluseau> I think I changed to KDM for the login screen I wanted
