VirtualBox: Pros and Beginners | LAS | s18e10

[andyhtc68]

As much as I respect Allan's knowledge and the enthusiasm of Chris, this is the 3rd or 4th show in a row where I haven't got to the end of it. This isn't the LAS that I came to love and couldn't wait to watch each week. Bryan going has left a massive hole and it isn't being filled. As I have posted before, just make this tech-snap 2 and ditch the LAS name. It just isn't the same anymore.

[LaCrimsonLey]

THIS WEEK... ON THE LINUX ACTION SHOW.... :-( 

[andyhtc68]

Go Daddy may well be impressed with the show, but I bet you $100 that Danica isn't impressed that you can't say her name right.

[codeythesilent]

@andyhtc68

lol it's kinds funny, I live in her home town xD

[Lacotemale]

I just find this hard to watch without Byran, Alan has a voice like a robot. :(

[ElderSnake90]

8:26 is epic LOL

[musl1m]

Although I'm glad you've continued with LAS even with Bryan doing his own thing I think its becoming too much like TechSNAP 2.0 too technical for me at least...

[bamdadkhan]

dear guys, you forgot something really basic. if you want compiz and opengl in virtualbox, you have to *manually* enable 3d acceleration and maybe increase the virtual gpu mem size.. something i usually forget.

and yeah, it doesn't suck without bryan. it's different. but it's good nonetheless. you should get into more technical topics. :)

[k99goran]

It's hard to create the same kind of rapport or flow when one person is on Skype. It's better than doing the show over the phone I guess, but it's no real substitute for having two people in studio. People simply behave differently when they are talking in person.

It's not really Alan's fault. He's doing a good job.

[Nightclawler]

It's just not the same without Bryan : (

[KMSalex]

if and when bryan is ready why not 3 hosts, or for that mater just get rid of christ :P

[actionpackedPIVII]

@KMSalex No, we need Chris!, And I like Alan too, but more for a techsnap show.. Linux action Show used to be a fun informative and great show.. I can't wait for Bryan to come back to the show, we need him at Linux Action Show!,

[ingvarhanssen]

Chris: I need to fix my nexis, because it looks ridiculous making a call on a galaxy tab. Allen: It does. Me: lol! Allen is hilarious.

[dolgion1]

Alan is becoming a better host each episode :), keep going man! Kinda miss Bryan's whackyness tho :-/

[SuperKittyPancake]

8:26

Yay! Two weeks in a row!

[rsem]

I like Alan more than Brian. I haven't been watching from the beginning, but Alan gives more detailed information....

[MiddleHander]

don't just be front of webcam.

[hblamo]

I like Alan, but I miss Bryan :(

[Dannie92]

So cool with that donation on Humble Indie Bundle! LAS <3

[RyeinGoddard]

It is like you guys read my mind because I was actually planning on vitalizing my windows install because I am tired of booting into it for one thing.

[grantgoddard]

@RyeinGoddard Hello other Goddard. :)

[RyeinGoddard]

@grantgoddard haha hey man. You a tech guy?

[RyeinGoddard]

@kristopheraugust in a gay way?

[tpiom]

I was just going to ask for an episode about Virtualbox... versus Wmware. The one episode you have about it is WAY old. Let's hope Wmware is mentioned... *watches*

[Yupiyeahs]

LAS is not TechSnap! Bring back the funny Jew!

[jeffreyparke]

@kristopheraugust remember allan has two LL's in his name

[m2cm2cm2c]

You can actually mount an existing windows partition to virtual box without using a tool to copy an image from it

[FrozenCow1]

You guys should -really- mention h t t p://code.google.com/p/phpvirtu­albox/ when talking about running virtualbox headless. It is absolutely awesome!

[SolomonKull]

@axel1973w

You're obviously an idiot. Good riddance!

[DerFornit]

Bryan wrote on his web site ... It’s official: I am taking a sabbatical from recording the Linux Action Show. I love the Linux Action Show. But, right now, I need to focus my time on some other areas. (If you pay attention to my various shenanigans, you’ve got a pretty good idea of what I’ll be spending my time on.) There’s only so much one man can do… so I had to make some cuts somewhere.

[05pricej]

at 24:51 there seems to be a quick pop-up that says something like please stand by...

[Damnated6mil]

It doesn't suck without Bryan, it's just different. Just as good IMO. Keep up the good work guys. BTW Bryan is busy with Illumination and webcomics ATM.

[SolomonKull]

@Damnated6mil

Its better without Bryan, there's more content and someone who knows what they are talking about now.

[excersizer]

@Damnated6mil i know what you mean. As with every change it takes getting used to in the beginning. But i think i like the current style of the show. Bryan brought the comedy element to the show, but the current style of show is more to the point and i feel like they cover i lot more then they used to. Anyway it's still a good show, with or without bryan.

[bellicjr]

Virtual Machines are useful for try new distros without the risk of mess your HDD, for example, now I'm compiling Gentoo Sources in my VirtualBox, if it takes a lot of time, I just can save the state and resume later !

[bellicjr]

VirtualBox starts at 23:20 if you don't want to see the news.

[nosebleed777]

This show needs ATLEAST 3 hosts!

[RealityTouchZone]

microsoft's tool for converting a physical to a virtual one: Disk2vhd

[ohhforgetme]

IMO don't change the season scheme. LAS (at least in its original form) is a fun and upbeat, sunday, linux podcast, diverging from the all too serious rest of podcasts. In that theme, short seasons, even silly seasons make sense. If you want to steer the LAS to a more serious format sure go ahead.. I'll just stop watching ;-)

[MiddleHander]

Again, is Bryan dead?

[coldmateplus]

@MiddleHander bryan is why i liked this show so much... i wish he would come back

[Ormaaj]

@MiddleHander He's taking a (probably long) break from the show. It was mentioned a few episodes back, in the forums, on Bryan's blog, and in several other places.

[GosuWarrior]

great addition. would be great if you guys can expand the virtual lan topic. for someone that is not in tune with networking this is great.

[TheAntiPlato]

I literally looked up Mork from planet Ork yesterday, because I didn't believe my own childhood memory that it was Robin Williams. LOL

[TheAuroraTechShow]

Could you guys do a Linux basics thread, after installing Fedora, I have no idea how to install applications from a tar.gz archive or how to find certain files in the file system.

[piandcompany]

what happened to Brian?

[mexfreak86]

@piandcompany He went on a sabbatical.

[vuxpyra]
