Raring will not be as stable as it will be tomorrow for a long long time.

Joshua

William

jrg

William

13:33

Joshua

it was not good...

I don't think I screwed up the MBR... because Windows still booted...

it was just missing a bunch of data...

jrg

The release manifest looks complete. Just waiting on the official announcement.

Joshua

oh well good thing it wasn't anything important...

William

Amith KK

Hey @someone snail mail me a disk :D

I need to keep my internetz.

William

13:36

lol

jrg

bad sign i've got a text message setup for the announcement email?

just in case it happens while i'm out.

William

lol

Joshua

@William well the good news is, yes, I had just reinstalled windows, and hadn't gotten around to moving my data again, so there was nothing important... just some odd and ends stuff...

William

@Joshua mkay good.

Joshua

But it was so weird...

William

13:40

hmm

cant really file a bug report tho

Joshua

nope...

I have never had anything like that happen to me before

William

smartboyhw

13:44

jrg

smartboyhw

@Joshua Do tell

@jrg Oh join it

Joshua

@smartboyhw are you sure? it has nothing to do with Ubuntu...

jrg

13:50

@smartboyhw ok, you strongarmed me. which channel?

smartboyhw

@jrg #ubuntu-release-party

@Joshua OK do tell

Joshua

Okay so I love to read... I will read just about anything... but I don't get the chance to read very often to do my busy life...

it seems though, whenever I do get a chance to read, my wife wants to talk...

and talk...

and talk....

and talk...

Amith KK

@Joshua break;;

Joshua

Then she gets mad at me because "I am not paying attention to her"

smartboyhw

@Joshua Oh I am sorry

Joshua

13:52

She likes to read too... but I don't insist on talking to her while she reads...

anyways it just makes me want to punch someone/something (and I am a non-violent person)

but I will get off my soap box...

Continue on with the party!

jrg

@Joshua thats what all parties are - giant soapboxes

A.S.

14:38

Ubuntu is released

Luis Alvarado

@Takkat am already on 12.10 but I have a feeling that installing 12.10 from scratch will solve a couple of wifi problems I am having.

Takkat

I just wanted to say that :)

jrg

releases.ubuntu.com/quantal - that is still filled with b2 images

A.S.

@Takkat lol. I said it blindly

Ubuntu is released, of course. but not Quantal ;P

Luis Alvarado

@jrg Actually if you go down a little you will see 12.10 final

jrg

14:39

yes, but it's not released officially

last year i spent $100 on seeding an outdated iso. i was so mad. :p

Luis Alvarado

smartboyhw

Here is where the real links will appear: cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/release

A.S.

15:14

Finally, Quantal is released fully

William

16:05

hi again

Joshua

16:20

if someone has 64gbs of ram, that means that their swap partition should be 128gbs big...

Seems like over kill to me...

But so does 64gbs of ram...

A.S.

No actually

If you aren't planning you use hibernate

54

Q: I have 16GB RAM. Do I need 32GB swap?

I read many places that the rule of thumb for swap space is to double the amount of physical RAM. However, 32 GB does seem a LOT. Do I need that much? Do I need it at all with this high amount of physical RAM?

Joshua

how would that make a difference?

A.S.

I think, if you are willing to store RAM's content on the swap, you need swap space as much as RAM

but since you have 64GBs of RAM, Your PC really don't need to use Disk space for swap

btw, the download page now contains the image links for 12.10

Joshua

@A.S. I don't have 64GBS of ram... I wish I had... but I don't...

A.S.

how much do you have? (just a question)

The square root of the RAM in GB, rounded up to a power of two. — starblue Jun 17 '11 at 7:57

Joshua

16:34

I have 4 on this particular machine...

A.S.

I recently upgraded from 1 GB to 3

Joshua

Pretty bug jump...

I remember back in the day going from 256MB to 512MB, and I thought that was a pretty big deal...

A.S.

I remember upgrading 512MB in addition to 256MB

people used to ask "whether i was doing graphics works" .. lol

Joshua

My upgrade allowed me to play Sid Meiers Civilization III for the first time...

Otherwise I would still be playing Civ II

A.S.

My upgrade was also for better games experience

we should switch to main room, btw

Joshua

16:40

For what? This is a party... perfect place for unstructured chatter...

A.S.

yeah. I agree

All unstructured messages are welcome here!

Joshua

Heck ya!

Apple is going down the shitter, thanks for dying Steve Jobs....

DoR

17:12

Where's the torrent link?

I'm getting 404s for this link releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

A.S.

It's working here

jrg

hehe

A.S.

17:30

I'm registering

Is there any update about the nick? @jrg

Joshua

It is amazing that Ubuntu gets little to no coverage by the general media on release day, but if it were an MS or Apple release we would never hear the end of it...

Marco Ceppi

That's what happens when you're ~1-2% of the entire OS market

Joshua

@MarcoCeppi even so, that is still BS.

DoR

Also, if Apple or MS had 2 releases a year, it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

A.S.

fair point

William

17:49

* gets afk award

A.S.

18:04

I've joined the event

Takkat

sssh - dont disturb anyone! It's a silent party...

2

A.S.

@Takkat lol

SirCharlo

@MarcoCeppi Is Ubuntu really 1 to 2 percent?! That's actually not bad.

Takkat

all are meditating over the new Quantal experience.

Joshua

@SirCharlo no, Linux is 1-2% as a whole...

Mahesh

18:07

@Joshua wut? I expected more. :/

A.S.

let's break the silence

@Mahesh unfortunately, I think, that was true

of course, I wanted it to at least 50%

Mahesh

@jrg UNPIN THAT THING!!!

5 hours ago, by jrg

No, it hasn't been released yet. We're just idling until the start of the party

A.S.

@Mahesh put more star on my message!!

3 hours ago, by A.S.

Yeah! \o/ Quantal is released

anyone here with old lubuntu?

Mahesh

@A.S. okay. you get a star.

SirCharlo

@Joshua Oh

Mahesh

18:11

I got a reason to fork chatrooms at whim : 20 stars per day per room Mwhahahah

@A.S. I want the open source share to be 100%.

squash all closed source.

or proprietary things.

though at times, holding the source helps, and at times necessary.

A.S.

@Mahesh the problem is, some people just want to waste money

Mahesh

and some people want to eat and shit money

Joshua

Everyone get your thermal paste compound out!

bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23153%3B+-+Thermal+Compound/…

A.S.

18:24

The banner on the site now should be changed.

Joshua

@A.S. did you have to?

A.S.

it is not releasing, it released

BBT. good night

jrg

21:00

@Mahesh: You're a room owner, you should have been able to unpin it

Mahesh

oh. yup. :P

totally forgot that.

jrg

le sigh.

jrg

21:17

now, in this silence is where I drop the bombshell - I'm a CentOS user.

Takkat

I am not a Windows 8 developer but I'd take the salary.

Edit just in time.

jrg

haha

Takkat

The party is elsewhere - on peoples harddrives where the Pangolin makes room for a Quetzal.

<-- is not upgrading yet

Do Pangolins eat birds?

jrg

no clue

Takkat

They are vegetarians I believe. So are Quetzals.

jrg

21:24

so they coexist in a dual-boot

Takkat

Likely, when they have different homes

(who would want to live in a home together with a pangolin and a quetzal)

> "Ringtail" is a common name for tail necrosis in rats and other rodents

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringtail

Back to the Rancid Rat \o/

and

> the Ringtail is arguably the most actively carnivorous species

It'll eat up all Pangolins and Quetzals.
