[17:21] <excid3> haha yes i do |
|
[17:22] <excid3> ive got a dv9000t |
|
[17:22] <excid3> i wrote a tutorial back around when feisty was released |
|
[17:22] <michaelramm> cool..my sis works for HP in their corp offices |
|
[17:22] <excid3> nice |
|
[17:23] <michaelramm> i have a thinkpad T43 that is going full ubuntu this weekend |
|
[17:23] <michaelramm> it is my work one, so I will have to run XP in virtualbox |
|
[17:23] <excid3> ah yeah |
|
[17:23] <excid3> im sadly dual booting hardy and vista |
|
[17:23] <excid3> my printer kills xp every time |
|
[17:24] <excid3> the drivers arent compatibile with sp2 for some reason |
|
[17:24] <excid3> and then it kills services.exe which in turn shuts down windows |
|
[17:24] <michaelramm> what printer |
|
[17:24] <excid3> hp c3180 |
|
[17:25] <excid3> wroks perfect in linux which is fine with me but id rather use office 2k7 over OOo |
|
[17:25] <michaelramm> that is strange..is that an all in one device? |
|
[17:25] <excid3> yeah |
|
[17:25] <excid3> ive researched it |
|
[17:25] <excid3> its a known problem with HP |
|
[17:25] <excid3> lol |
|
[17:25] <excid3> downloaded the neweest drivers...same thing |
|
[17:28] <excid3> have you tried out hardy? |
|
[17:29] <michaelramm> no, not proficient enough in linux to mess with alphas |
|
[17:30] <excid3> lol |
|
[17:30] <excid3> i have found it better than gutsy all around so far |
|
[17:30] <excid3> well until the update the other day...it broke a bunch of things |
|
[17:30] <excid3> but i think that got fixed yesterday or the day before for me |
|
[17:31] <excid3> i havent tried to fix anything...ive just been updating it daily seeing what breaks what doesnt |
|
[17:31] <excid3> i use vista as my main os because i find it easier to use office 2k7, visual studio and my games in it |
|
[17:31] <michaelramm> alpha 5 is supposed to come out today |
|
[17:31] <excid3> orly? |
