DaemonFCmy nick was a backupMar 19 02:04
DaemonFCmust be because I was logged in on Andchat for a whileMar 19 02:04
sebsebsebDaemonFC: ok you get my Mageia comment or not then?Mar 19 02:04
DaemonFCyeahMar 19 02:05
sebsebsebDaemonFC: only thing is Windows will be more up to dateMar 19 02:05
sebsebsebthan the distro's that have the ESR by defaultMar 19 02:05
sebsebsebfor Firefiox, oh wellMar 19 02:05
DaemonFCthe version treadmill is mostly a marketing stuntMar 19 02:05
sebsebsebat least with Windows also there is a proper working update thing from MOzillaMar 19 02:05
DaemonFCfor most purposes, Firefox 3.6 users are still doing alrightMar 19 02:06
sebsebsebwhere as with Linux it's up to the distros, and well that can be a right uh at itmes, to keep it up to date enoughMar 19 02:06
sebsebsebthe versions thing is mainly a, becasue they can yeahMar 19 02:06
sebsebsebalso they have money to release a new version every six weeks nowMar 19 02:06
DaemonFCit's a question of features vs stabilityMar 19 02:06
DaemonFCit always isMar 19 02:06
sebsebsebalso FIrefox 3.6 is  going to run out of support next month I belive, but it's rather useable on today's web still really in generalMar 19 02:06
DaemonFCjust saying there's newer releases out there is like saying Ubuntu has newer software than RHELMar 19 02:07
DaemonFCsure, if you want regressions, Ubuntu has lots of new softwareMar 19 02:07
sebsebsebNewer Is Not Always better!Mar 19 02:07
sebsebsebDaemonFC: Mandriva 2010.2 on the other computer still, my brothers use that,  that's Gnome 2.32.1 in there and this really old nice Gnome SHell preview I like, but I got them using KDE 4.4 in thereMar 19 02:08
sebsebsebKDE 4.4i is fine for their usageMar 19 02:08
DaemonFCI don't know how Red Hat is going to sell customers on GNOME 3.xMar 19 02:08
sebsebsebsince about all they are going to be doing is opening up FirefoxMar 19 02:08
DaemonFCthe kind of customers they have tend to freak out about fairly minor UI changesMar 19 02:08
sebsebsebnearly any interface is good enough for the very basic computer userMar 19 02:08
sebsebsebDaemonFC: maybe Redhat will end up going with Mate for example in the futureMar 19 02:09
sebsebsebor even Cinnamon?Mar 19 02:09
DaemonFCUI changes mean more "training" is necessaryMar 19 02:09
sebsebsebyep that's right going with those, even though Fedora is Gnome ShellMar 19 02:09
sebsebsebin fact that would be quite interseting if thatMar 19 02:09
DaemonFCsince the user has to be trained on how to use the new softwareMar 19 02:09
DaemonFCso business types really hate GUI changesMar 19 02:09
sebsebsebyeah well MateMar 19 02:09
sebsebseband Cinnamon for exampleMar 19 02:09
DaemonFCeven if the new GUI works betterMar 19 02:09
sebsebsebor do a Fuduntu and keep the real Gnome 2 in thereMar 19 02:09
sebsebseb,but keep other stuff up to dateMar 19 02:09
DaemonFCI used Unity 5.6 for a little while on my other computer yesterdayMar 19 02:10
DaemonFCI can kind of see what they're trying to do with itMar 19 02:10
sebsebseb5.6 ?Mar 19 02:10
sebsebsebthe 11.10 version or 12.04 ?Mar 19 02:10
DaemonFCa few things that I didn't think were going to work out, I turned out to be wrong aboutMar 19 02:10
DaemonFC12.04Mar 19 02:10
sebsebsebDaemonFC: I tried out the 11.10 versions a bit a few  weeks or so agoMar 19 02:11
sebsebseb,but then later messed up that Ubuntu installMar 19 02:11
sebsebsebwhen doing stuff with dm's and trying to get it change to Gdm and uhMar 19 02:11
sebsebsebso I'll be re installing that, but not yet, since I want to try out Ubuntu StudioMar 19 02:11
sebsebsebsince it went XFCE, and yeahMar 19 02:11
sebsebseband I'll do a try of a Ubuntu 12.04 development version as wellMar 19 02:11
DaemonFCyou could have spared yourself the entire alpha/beta cycle that went on between 11.04 and 11.10 by staying on 10.04 LTS I guessMar 19 02:11
sebsebseband I got Mint 12 to try out yet as well on hereMar 19 02:11
sebsebseband then a Mageia Beta 2  to put on reallyMar 19 02:12
DaemonFCit's cruel to drag your users through a minefield of half-implemented crap that's riddled with bugsMar 19 02:12
DaemonFCand to pretend like it's anything but beta softwareMar 19 02:12
sebsebsebthere seems to be some issue with Grub booting up Ubuntu the Mageia one or wahtever, so going to try out for myself and try and documentate any wrokaround baicallyMar 19 02:12
sebsebsebDaemonFC: well that's the idea with UbuntuMar 19 02:13
sebsebsebwant something more stable?Mar 19 02:13
sebsebsebstay using the LTSMar 19 02:13
sebsebsebwant to try out new stuff, use the other versionsMar 19 02:13
DaemonFCyeahMar 19 02:13
sebsebsebDaemonFC: Mageia is also going to do a  Long Term Support release, and I think Ubuntu Style as wellMar 19 02:14
sebsebsebI think that will probably be Mageia 3Mar 19 02:14
sebsebsebDaemonFC: also it's ok to live in the past, and got a great article about that :) http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/08/05/living-in-the-past.htmlMar 19 02:15

sebsebsebDaemonFC: Mint 9 could have been used instead of 10.04 for the kind of thing you were just saying by the way :)Mar 19 02:16
DaemonFCyeah, they have LTS versions of their ownMar 19 02:16
DaemonFCbased on Ubuntu LTSMar 19 02:16
sebsebsebDaemonFC: yep exactlyMar 19 02:16
DaemonFCMint 13 will probably be an LTS and default to CinnamonMar 19 02:17
sebsebseband that's what my older brother's lap top from like 2005Mar 19 02:17
sebsebsebwhich is in a bit of a bad condiition now, but worksMar 19 02:17
sebsebsebthat's what it's got on there MInt 9Mar 19 02:17
sebsebseband yep exactly Mint 13 will probably be LTS and using CinmamonMar 19 02:17
sebsebsebalso Cinnamon is going to be in the Debian versionMar 19 02:18

DaemonFCthen he freaked out because they weren't doing all his work for himMar 19 02:19
sebsebseband you mean SimpleyMepis?Mar 19 02:19
DaemonFChe totally misunderstood what an LTS wasMar 19 02:20
DaemonFCbut that didn't stop him from blaming them loudly and storming back off to DebianMar 19 02:20
DaemonFCyeahMar 19 02:20
DaemonFChe took LTS to mean essentially what he doesMar 19 02:20
DaemonFCmixing and matching software onto a stable baseMar 19 02:20
sebsebsebokMar 19 02:21
sebsebsebDaemonFC: or instead of LTS can have a distro such as PC LInux OS,  which is rolling release, and has later this and that, when it's stable enoughMar 19 02:21
DaemonFCI'm always skeptical of rolling releasesMar 19 02:23
DaemonFCsometimes upstreams have a different idea of what's stable than I doMar 19 02:23
sebsebsebDaemonFC: sure, but PC Linux OS has been holding off on Gnome 3 for ages for exampleMar 19 02:24
DaemonFCDebian's development cycle is such that a package can't get into testing if it has more open release-critical bugs than the one that's already thereMar 19 02:24
DaemonFCso you almost never walk into a disaster with TestingMar 19 02:24
DaemonFCand never with StableMar 19 02:24
sebsebseboh okMar 19 02:24
DaemonFCjust tossing in whatever the latest upstream package is without any real testing is what Sid isMar 19 02:24
sebsebsebDebian experimentalMar 19 02:25
DaemonFCyeah, that's right, experimental is more or less "incoming"Mar 19 02:25
DaemonFCif it's going to do anything really bad the hope is that they'll catch it thereMar 19 02:26
sebsebsebokMar 19 02:26
DaemonFCit catches obvious problemsMar 19 02:26
sebsebsebDaemonFC: also as users we don't have to run the latest versions of distro'sMar 19 02:26
DaemonFCbuild failuresMar 19 02:26
sebsebsebwe have lots of choice as users :)Mar 19 02:26
DaemonFCapplications that don't even start upMar 19 02:26
sebsebseband can run software that is no longer supported upsteram useauly as wellMar 19 02:27

sebsebsebI guessMar 19 02:27
DaemonFCDebian is only now talking about ditching qt3 before Debian 7 goes outMar 19 02:27
sebsebsebDaemonFC: Mageia had something on the dev mailing list about that recentlyMar 19 02:28
DaemonFCit's been without an upstream since Nokia abandoned it in 2007Mar 19 02:28

DaemonFCreally all it's doing now is making the LSB look ridiculous for requiring itMar 19 02:28
sebsebseboh>Mar 19 02:28
sebsebseb?Mar 19 02:28
sebsebsebalso gt3 has an upstreamMar 19 02:28
sebsebsebthe Trinity projectMar 19 02:28
DaemonFCDebian discussed thatMar 19 02:28
DaemonFCand decided that the qt3 fork from Trinity wasn't compatible with qt3 to the point the LSB requires anywayMar 19 02:29
sebsebseboh?Mar 19 02:29
DaemonFCso it's going to be droppedMar 19 02:29
sebsebsebDaemonFC: well this doesn't really matter much to meMar 19 02:29
sebsebsebI don't use DebianMar 19 02:29
DaemonFCyou're not doing your users any favors by keeping something like that aroundMar 19 02:30
DaemonFCit's either going to get no updates at all and become frozen in time, bugs and allMar 19 02:30
DaemonFCor it's going to do what grub didMar 19 02:30
sebsebsebwhat Grub did?Mar 19 02:30
DaemonFCyeah, grub 0.97Mar 19 02:31
sebsebsebthat's still in a lot of distrosMar 19 02:31
sebsebseb,butMar 19 02:31
sebsebsebapparnatly it was patched by distros such as FedoraMar 19 02:31
DaemonFCevery distributions ended up with what called itself grub 0.97Mar 19 02:31
DaemonFCbut it behaved differently in each distributionMar 19 02:31
sebsebsebnot quite sure about thatMar 19 02:31
DaemonFCbecause there are literally hundreds of distribution patches floating around with no upstream to coordinate themMar 19 02:31
sebsebsebohMar 19 02:32
DaemonFCso you can end up with a combination of devices and boot firmware that would boot OpenSuse, but not FedoraMar 19 02:32
DaemonFCeven though they both claimed they had grub 0.97Mar 19 02:32
DaemonFCthere was a case like that a while backMar 19 02:32
sebsebsebMageia's Grub 0.97Mar 19 02:32
sebsebsebseems to have issues booting up UbuntuMar 19 02:32
DaemonFCMatthew Garrett stumbled into itMar 19 02:32
sebsebsebalso going by mailing list,  with this one in Mageia 2 Beta 2Mar 19 02:32
DaemonFCturned out OpenSuse was carrying a patch that worked around thatMar 19 02:32
sebsebsebone of the founders, coudn't boot up Ubuntu hmmMar 19 02:32
DaemonFCand no other distribution had that patchMar 19 02:32
sebsebsebalso apparnatly Ubuntu's Grub 2Mar 19 02:33
sebsebsebis changed some howMar 19 02:33
DaemonFCyou can't afford to have situations like thatMar 19 02:33
sebsebsebsomething that isn't upstreamMar 19 02:33
sebsebseband then that can have issues booting up other distro's not sure quiteMar 19 02:33
sebsebsebDaemonFC: yep Grub issues are  quite serious if it means, somsoene installs a version of GrubMar 19 02:33
sebsebseband there other distros won't boot up as wellMar 19 02:33
DaemonFCit gets better of courseMar 19 02:33
DaemonFCif you try to multi-bootMar 19 02:34
DaemonFCand GRUB from Fedora ends up corrupting your XFS file system on OpenSUSEMar 19 02:34
DaemonFC:)Mar 19 02:34
sebsebsebohMar 19 02:34
DaemonFCif it doesn't have a credible upstream, I don't want the softwareMar 19 02:35
DaemonFCwhen distributions get into a patchfest over something without an upstream, you get a grub 0.97Mar 19 02:35
sebsebsebDaemonFC: well I still quite like Pino for Identica, but that's not had a upstream for over a year nowMar 19 02:35
sebsebsebDaemonFC: also it was decided quite a while ago to drop it from what would become Mageia 2Mar 19 02:36
DaemonFCI'd rather they dropped it than give me something that does things I wasn't expecting and trashes my dataMar 19 02:36
sebsebsebDaemonFC: fair enoughMar 19 02:36
sebsebsebDaemonFC: anyway going away from computerMar 19 02:37

TechrightsBot-tr@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Microsoft has a new trick: daemonise Google over "privacy" to drive people to search powered *by* Red Bing of Death (e.g. DDG)Mar 19 16:56

schestowitz"Generally I'd agree with kudłaty's point, although it's worth noting that there is large strategic value for any company just knowing what is being searched for and when, even if they don't know by who. In this way, DDG helps Bing, even if it isn't as much as using Bing itself. That said I use startpage which anonymizes Google search (and trust me, I'm no fan of Google :/ ) "Mar 19 16:57

DaemonFCit will just appear that all their files are goneMar 19 18:54
DaemonFCin Linux distributions, the autoprobing/failover is even more horrifying Mar 19 18:54
DaemonFCdepending on your set up, one of three things will happenMar 19 18:54
DaemonFC1: User doesn't have MTP support in their desktop environment/file manager, device fails over to MTP like it would on XP. If user ever plugs the thing into a system that recognizes MTP, same thing happens that I described in the Windows case. Files have "disappeared" but they're really still there and it will just look like the device is missing all that space.Mar 19 18:56
DaemonFC2: User does have libMTP and shell support (like in Ubuntu and some GNOME distributions, Fedora doesn't ship MTP support for the shell by default so see case 1)Mar 19 18:56
DaemonFCin this case, libmtp fails to send a signal that the device was mounted as an MTP deviceMar 19 18:57
DaemonFCthe user's shell displays the device as MTP and MSC and you can only write to the MSC one, but they both have the same nameMar 19 18:57
