| [08:35] <lordievader> Good morning. | |
| [12:55] <BluesKaj_> Hiyas all | |
| [13:21] <elfy> hi BluesKaj_ | |
| [13:22] <BluesKaj_> hey elfy, what's happening today ? | |
| [13:22] <elfy> I am completely undecided :p | |
| [13:23] <elfy> mostly a lot of looking out of the window and mmmm :) | |
| [13:23] <elfy> actually I'm patiently waiting for something to break this cycle | |
| [13:24] <elfy> might have to look at ubuntu or kubuntu or something :) | |
| [13:27] <BluesKaj_> elfy, running a lighter weight 'buntu due to computer age and HW or ? | |
| [13:28] <elfy> what I've got here would run either ubuntu or kubuntu - so just choice :) | |
| [13:32] <BluesKaj_> right , then there's the new plasma 5 for kde which is ok but not what would call a step forward looks wise , IMO of course | |
| [13:32] <elfy> yea - had a quick look last cycle towards the end | |
| [13:33] <BluesKaj_> some ppl love it , I'm kind of neutral | |
| [13:33] <elfy> :) | |
| [13:33] <elfy> I'm not that partial to kubuntu tbh - I tried it a couple of times - probably need to try it longer than a day :) | |
| [13:34] <BluesKaj_> I installed it on the laptop, guess I'm stuck with it since I promised I'd test it | |
| [13:35] <elfy> ha ha ha | |
| [13:35] <BluesKaj_> plasma5 that is | |
| [13:35] <BluesKaj_> love Kubuntu/KDE ...unity and gnome etc aren't my cuppa tea | |
| [13:37] <lordievader> BluesKaj_: You make it sound like it is a burden... | |
| [13:37] <BluesKaj_> apps are snappier since increasing the RAM to 6G | |
| [13:38] <BluesKaj_> plasma 5 is to some degree ,since it has so many limitations | |
| [13:38] <BluesKaj_> not very configurable atm | |
| [13:39] <BluesKaj_> that's why I'm using my old desktop more these days :) | |
| [13:39] <lordievader> It does the config I want ;) But it is not yet up to the height of Plasma4. | |
| [13:41] <BluesKaj_> I should qualify configurable, I mean in the "theme and look" sense | |
| [13:45] <BluesKaj_> suppose I could upgrade this pc to 15.04, but I like having a stable OS/machine available | |

| [23:23] <ChogyDan> hi all, I have an old computer where both the 14.04 and 14.10 kernels don't work, but 3.17.4 does. In your opinion, should I upgrade now? Will vivid be usable? Or is it still in the super unstable phase... I'm curious with the thought that if I run the testing release, I could report bugs before release rather than after | |
| [23:25] <maxb> In your situation I'd just stick on 14.10 with a custom kernel | |
| [23:34] <ChogyDan> kk, thanks | |
