axelm7 | hello, I am installing xubuntu 7.0.4 right now. I have checked that the CD media is ok, and after starting the installation, it says /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off. Then it takes me to a busybox prompt and does not continue. | 12:54 |
axelm7 | what should I try next? install in safe text mode? | 12:54 |
axelm7 | on the bottom of the screen it says (initramfs) and I get a prompt there | 12:55 |
axelm7 | now I get a kernel panic :( | 01:03 |

axelm7 | __tzfile_read: Assertion 'num_types == 1' failed | 01:11 |
axelm7 | an then the installer goes into maintenance mode and i get a bash prompt | 01:12 |
axelm7 | wtf is wrong? | 01:12 |
axelm7 | do i have to start with noacpi nousb or something like that? | 01:12 |
vidd | try acpi=off | 01:13 |
axelm7 | where should I put that? on the grub command line? | 01:13 |
vidd | didi the install complete? or is this while trying to install? | 01:14 |
axelm7 | while it was trying to start in safe graphics mode | 01:14 |
axelm7 | i did not reach the part where it gives me the option to install | 01:15 |

axelm7 | now I am starting again, but I pressed F6 and added acpi=off to the boot options | 01:16 |
axelm7 | it is trying to read from the floppy drive all the time | 01:17 |

axelm7 | crap, I hate old obsolete hardware. The RAM on this machine is probably bad, or the IDE controller or the IDE cable. I am getting all sorts of weird errors | 01:35 |
vidd | silvertip257, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 01:35 |
silvertip257 | thank you very much - interesting | 01:36 |
silvertip257 | ah nice I'm going to book mark that - neato, too bad it doesn't seem more obvious from the ubuntu page | 01:37 |
vidd | and gutsy.....http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 01:38 |
silvertip257 | yep similar dir path | 01:40 |
vidd | i will be periodically updating the image on my page as updates are made | 01:41 |
silvertip257 | cool | 01:41 |
vidd | with the mini, the kernel version on the disk must match what is in the repo's...otherwise it wont install | 01:42 |
axelm7 | found the problem :) the cd reader was bad. I put another CD reader and it is booting now :) | 01:48 |
axelm7 | it takes FOREVER to boot on this machine from the livecd | 01:51 |
vidd | that is because it has to load the entire os in ram | 01:51 |
axelm7 | lol, it is such a lame pc, i am doing this only because it's my father in law's pc. I would have torched this pc otherwise | 01:51 |
axelm7 | a nice bucket of kerosene and a match | 01:52 |
vidd | it would be a decent server | 01:52 |
axelm7 | just to make sure nobody else is tortured with this garbage | 01:52 |
axelm7 | i use a p2 333 384mb 80gb as a server here at home | 01:53 |
axelm7 | a p1 is just too old | 01:53 |
vidd | all depends on what your using it for | 01:53 |
vidd | i can make an 80-386 into a halfway decent printer server! | 01:54 |
axelm7 | openbsd on this machine would work fine as a router | 01:54 |
silvertip257 | you've got a P1 still ? | 01:54 |
silvertip257 | me 2 | 01:54 |
axelm7 | a garbage hand me down pc | 01:54 |
silvertip257 | a couple if the 2nd one still works ;) | 01:54 |
silvertip257 | same here | 01:54 |
silvertip257 | only thing I could run on it was DSL / puppy | 01:55 |
axelm7 | i also have a p2 333, an athlon xp 2.5 and a inspiron 1200 laptop with 1.25 GB RAM | 01:55 |
silvertip257 | nice | 01:55 |
silvertip257 | I wanna build one soon - a desktop | 01:55 |
axelm7 | I haven't bought dual core yet for home. I have one at the office and I don't notice that much difference for what I do | 01:56 |
silvertip257 | is it your own business ? | 01:56 |
axelm7 | i am a partner there | 01:56 |
silvertip257 | ah | 01:56 |
vidd | what kind of business? | 01:57 |
axelm7 | fuel retail automation software+hardware+consulting | 01:57 |
silvertip257 | I'm trying to learn how to make custom live cds ... anyone wanna help ;) ... (w/o UCK / Reconstructor) | 01:57 |
axelm7 | basically controlling fuel at a service station | 01:57 |
axelm7 | point of sale, payment, credit card transactions, etc | 01:58 |
silvertip257 | using what kinda software? | 01:58 |
axelm7 | the customer is using VeriFone Sapphire software | 01:58 |
axelm7 | plus some stuff written by me | 01:59 |
axelm7 | c++ on embedded SOC | 01:59 |
silvertip257 | ah | 02:00 |
axelm7 | silvertip, what do u d | 02:01 |
axelm7 | o | 02:01 |
silvertip257 | lol I'm still a student | 02:02 |

=== vidd is an ISP tech support rep | ||
axelm7 | can u believe the live cd is still booting | 02:03 |
axelm7 | it's been 45 mins | 02:03 |
silvertip257 | can anyone direct me 2 someone who knows how to make custom live cds? | 02:03 |
vidd | dont surprise me at all | 02:03 |
silvertip257 | on a P1 you deserve it! try dsl or puppy maybe ;) | 02:04 |
axelm7 | i hope that once i install it on the hd it boots faster | 02:04 |
vidd | axelm7, i WOULD be surprised if the live cd completed booting | 02:04 |
silvertip257 | not by much man | 02:04 |
silvertip257 | from my personal experience | 02:04 |
axelm7 | the user does not speak english, dsl is not an option | 02:04 |
axelm7 | and he is not computer savy, so forget dsl | 02:05 |
silvertip257 | it's a big pain on my p1 w/ decent amnt of ram for the time period | 02:05 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:05 |
silvertip257 | dsl isn't that bad ;) | 02:05 |
silvertip257 | but you've got a pt | 02:05 |
axelm7 | this pc was booting xp sp2 in under 5 mins | 02:05 |
vidd | im telling you....the alt cd is the way to go with that pc | 02:05 |
axelm7 | firefox2 and ie7 were working pretty well, so was windows live messenger | 02:06 |
silvertip257 | wow axelm7 ... did you hack it that bad? | 02:06 |
silvertip257 | are you sure ... P1 ? | 02:06 |
axelm7 | yup, killed all the useless services | 02:06 |
silvertip257 | how much ram -- what specs ? | 02:06 |
silvertip257 | oh | 02:06 |
axelm7 | 128 MB | 02:06 |
silvertip257 | same as the one i've got | 02:06 |
axelm7 | 8 gn hd | 02:06 |
axelm7 | 8 GB HD | 02:07 |
silvertip257 | less on the one 've got | 02:07 |
silvertip257 | vidd: do you know how to use "tar" correctly? | 02:07 |
axelm7 | configured the ADSL to act as router so i got rid of the pppoe part | 02:07 |
silvertip257 | will you check a phrase for me? | 02:07 |
vidd | sure | 02:07 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:07 |
silvertip257 | vidd: " tar -zcvfp /mnt/sda1/debian/deb4.0_netinst-base.tar.gz . " ... something can't be right though | 02:08 |
axelm7 | vidd, why do you say the alt cd will boot faster? will the installation from altcd be different then if i install from the live cd? | 02:08 |
silvertip257 | installation will be no different | 02:08 |
silvertip257 | final OS I mean | 02:08 |
vidd | right on the web site: To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install | 02:09 |
silvertip257 | vidd: my current dir is a partition I mounted w/ my deb OS - /mnt/hda5 | 02:09 |
vidd | trying to untar? | 02:09 |
silvertip257 | no create an archive & compress a lil | 02:10 |
silvertip257 | am I using the wrong parameter ... z ? ... I forget ugh | 02:10 |
vidd | did you man tar ? | 02:10 |
silvertip257 | yes | 02:11 |
silvertip257 | but looked & nothign | 02:11 |
vidd | axelm7, you dont have enough ram to run the live cd | 02:11 |
silvertip257 | vidd: it says my path-to-tarfile doesn't exist ... | 02:11 |
axelm7 | vidd, I am waiting for the alt cd to finish downloading. Meanwhile I will let the live CD to continue booting | 02:12 |
axelm7 | bye guys, I am going to have dinner (Spanish seafood) | 02:12 |
vidd | silvertip257, did you use tab-completion to get the path to file? | 02:12 |

vidd | if it is a file, then no "/" at the end | 02:26 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:26 |
silvertip257 | but if I make a dir my current one then I use a period right? | 02:26 |
vidd | no | 02:26 |
silvertip257 | what?! | 02:27 |
silvertip257 | hmm - can't remember how I did it in my big script a few months ago | 02:27 |
vidd | lets say you want to compress /home/vidd/directory/ | 02:28 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:28 |
vidd | you can cd to /home/vidd..... | 02:28 |
vidd | then tar -cvvf directory.tar directory/ | 02:29 |
vidd | or... tar -cvvf directory.tar /home/vidd/directory/ | 02:30 |
silvertip257 | oh hmm | 02:30 |
silvertip257 | I read somewhere you always have a "." at the end for some reason | 02:30 |
vidd | for a script...yeah | 02:30 |
silvertip257 | hmm | 02:31 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:31 |
silvertip257 | dur that's why maybe | 02:31 |

silvertip257 | vidd: why does it say - Cannot stat: No such file or directory ? | 02:36 |

silvertip257 | vidd: here's my ref for this stuff - just found my bookmark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR | 02:40 |
vidd | the .gz comes from running gzip on the tar file | 02:40 |

vidd | then run sudo tar -cvvf test.tar /mnt/hda5/bin | 02:42 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:42 |
vidd | you need sudo because there are root owned files in /bin | 02:42 |

silvertip257 | will try w/o it | 02:49 |
silvertip257 | no luck | 02:49 |

silvertip257 | I'm root | 02:50 |
silvertip257 | ! | 02:50 |
silvertip257 | well I sudo-ed | 02:50 |

silvertip257 | how do I check that? | 02:51 |
silvertip257 | I'm root though .. | 02:51 |
vidd | but if /mnt/sda1/debian/ is read only...it dont matter WHO you are...GOD cant write on a read-only file system | 02:52 |
silvertip257 | ughh | 02:52 |
silvertip257 | ok how do I check that? / change it? | 02:52 |
vidd | open it in thunar (or your file manager of choice) and check it's permissions | 02:53 |
silvertip257 | ok | 02:53 |
vidd | if it is mounted in RO, you need to UMOUNT it and re mount it in RW mode | 02:54 |
silvertip257 | ok eerrrr RO | 02:55 |
silvertip257 | f-ck d-mmit | 02:55 |
vidd | so it's read only? | 02:56 |
silvertip257 | vidd: thank you for being so patient and not yet killing me for that | 02:56 |
silvertip257 | will now try it | 02:57 |

hyper_ch | you're the rTorrent pro right? | 10:58 |
TheSheep | no | 10:58 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: I thought you're using it | 10:58 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: well yes, from time to time | 10:59 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: but I don't play with it | 10:59 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: oh ok... I just had a small look at it and a few questions still remain unanswered :) I thought you may help | 10:59 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: if not me, then maybe someone else | 11:00 |
TheSheep | !ask | hyper_ch | 11:00 |
ubotu | hyper_ch: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 11:00 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: :) anyway, I just added for testing reasons a torrent that I share... | 11:00 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: I didn't start downloading but then exited rTorrent... restarted it... but it was not listed anymore... why so? | 11:00 |
hyper_ch | question2: is there a way to select only certain files from the torrent to download and not all of them? | 11:01 |
hyper_ch | question3: can you create new torrents with rtorrent - if so, how? | 11:01 |
hyper_ch | question4: is there a way to say where the files should be saved to? Like not all into the same directory? | 11:02 |

Gabz | is there a smaller browsers than firefox... it loads too slow for xubuntu ? | 11:03 |
hyper_ch | Gabz: epiphany | 11:04 |
hyper_ch | kazehakase | 11:04 |
hyper_ch | lynx (command line) | 11:04 |
Gabz | lynx hmm something with a gui still would be nice | 11:05 |
hyper_ch | the other two are gui | 11:05 |
TheSheep | Gabz: opra, dillo | 11:05 |
TheSheep | Gabz: opera I mean | 11:05 |
hyper_ch | Gabz: open synaptic and search for "browser" and you will be presented quite a few | 11:06 |
hyper_ch | maybe even swiftfox? | 11:06 |
Gabz | yeah but since i was after something small i figured i would ask to so i have a better starting point | 11:06 |
Gabz | i'll have to install acouple and see which loads fastests | 11:07 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: I don't know the answers, I know you can download single files with rtorrent for sure, but never tried, I think you can change the place where the file is going to be saved, but don't know how either. You can configure the default saving directory in the config file. | 11:07 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: yeah, saw that about the default saving directory :) btw, where are the .torrent files being stored? | 11:08 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: oh... stupid question... I was jus thinking of ktorrent again ;) | 11:08 |

axelm7 | hi, I have just finished installing xubuntu 7.04. What is the best graphical package manager? I am not used to Debian style distributions, since I am a Fedora user. | 11:38 |
=== archypetro [n=bleh@85.92.179.168] has joined #xubuntu | ||
Evergete | axelm7, synaptic, imho | 11:41 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: synaptic it is... but the command line is very simple to and allows you to write auto-downlaod and install script | 11:41 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: that makes a reinstall quite quick ;) | 11:42 |
axelm7 | this pc is for my father in law, updates have to be automatic and package installs have to be graphical | 11:44 |
Evergete | the easiest way (for dummies, i think) is to go to system > add remove, is more semplified than synaptic | 11:45 |
axelm7 | I have to say that on this old pc with 128 MB RAM, xp sp2 runs faster than xubuntu. I have not disactivated the unnecessary services yet, maybe that's my prob | 11:46 |
=== nikolam [n=nikola@adsl-209-226.eunet.yu] has joined #xubuntu | ||

axelm7 | ok, after about an hour of using xubuntu 7.04 on a very low end machine, I have to say that xp sp2 runs much faster on this hardware | 12:59 |
axelm7 | I can see firefox-bin using 45% cpu and xfce-taskmanager using 16-24%. These are constant values | 01:01 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: just install a few things on xp and it will crawl | 01:04 |
axelm7 | I am not defending xp at all, I am just giving my feedback | 01:07 |
axelm7 | this same machine was running xp with ie7 and firefox. www surfing was reasonable. on xubuntu it is not | 01:07 |
axelm7 | I don't know if adobe flash plugin is eating way too much cpu | 01:08 |
axelm7 | xfce-taskmanager is always at 20-50% cpu. what is this process? a message dispatcher in xfce? | 01:09 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: I'm just saying if you install the same amount of stuff that you get with xubuntu then xp is slower ;) | 01:09 |
axelm7 | maybe I can reduce the amount of eye candy (?) to make screen rendering faster | 01:09 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: man xfce-taskmanager | 01:10 |
axelm7 | lol, xfce-taskmanager is the task that is showing me how much cpu each process is consuming. | 01:11 |

hyper_ch | g'day Jesta | 01:13 |
axelm7 | X is eating up to 50% CPU. I guess that copying bytes for the frame buffer is slow | 01:13 |
Jesta | hey | 01:13 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: Adelaide? | 01:14 |
Jesta | melbourne | 01:14 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: iieeeks | 01:14 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: now I know what you wanted to describe :) | 01:14 |
hyper_ch | Victorians... ;) | 01:14 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: but it is a different error | 01:14 |
Jesta | :P | 01:14 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: who won footy this year? | 01:15 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: file:///media/disk/error_ooo.png -- I meant the windeco, not the style | 01:15 |
OculusAquilae | sorry | 01:15 |

OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: file:///media/disk/error_ooo.png | 01:15 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: http://oculusaquilae.de/xubuntu/error_ooo.png -- damn copy and paste | 01:15 |
hyper_ch | OculusAquilae: well, hmm.... no clue then... when you said missing icons this happened to me once because I lacked an installed style | 01:15 |

hyper_ch | Jesta: yeah | 01:16 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: thanks anyway | 01:16 |

OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: the bar on top of the window | 01:17 |
hyper_ch | OculusAquilae: what about them? | 01:18 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: and the frame around it | 01:18 |
hyper_ch | OculusAquilae: ah... hmmm... no clue | 01:18 |
OculusAquilae | i don't have this error in abiword, but this can't print in landscape mode | 01:18 |
hyper_ch | OculusAquilae: I thought you had a OOo problem | 01:18 |
OculusAquilae | hyper_ch: it is only with OOo, not with gimp, firefox, abiword or any other program | 01:19 |
hyper_ch | OculusAquilae: strange... you're on Gutsy? | 01:20 |
OculusAquilae | no, it's feisty | 01:20 |
hyper_ch | OculusAquilae: strange... maybe remove OOo completely with a purge and reinstallit | 01:20 |
=== michaelpo [n=presario@60.52.40.229] has joined #xubuntu | ||

Jesta | hyper_ch: philistines :P | 01:33 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: make a cron entry | 01:34 |

Jesta | hyper_ch: a smug, ignorant and normally boureoise classified as being ingnorant or opposed to cultural values :P was in jest | 01:36 |
hyper_ch | axelm7: no clue... I configure my services myself | 01:36 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: ah :) but then... I still wonder how one can watch cricket... even worse if there's test runs... | 01:37 |
axelm7 | hyper_ch: oh... I see | 01:37 |
Jesta | hyper_ch: we put ourselves through the pain for the good of the country ;-) | 01:38 |

Jesta | I thinking of building a file server, would xubuntu be good for this type of thing? | 01:45 |
Jesta | I'm* | 01:45 |
hyper_ch | I tend to go for a server still to use debian | 01:46 |
hyper_ch | and no gui | 01:46 |
Jesta | I was only thinking xubuntu because of the linux fileserver article I read on bit-tech.net | 01:47 |
Jesta | in which they used xubuntu | 01:47 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: well, first of all, if you want to operate a server you don't need a gui | 01:47 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: a gui is a waste of resources ;) | 01:47 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: and then, debian and ubuntu are quite similar... ubuntu is an offspring from debian and debian is known to provide rock-stable software | 01:48 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: hence my preference for debian over ubuntu as server | 01:48 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: but then, you say you want a "fileserver"... what do you want it do to exactely? | 01:49 |
=== joakim [n=Leho@80-235-70-21-dsl.trt.estpak.ee] has joined #xubuntu | ||
Jesta | hyper_ch: It would be headless, so I would remote admin it - but basiclly, it would have a partition for each user would would backup/save their stuff to it. It would then have partitions that everyone can access eg Music, Setup Files, Movies etc. The users would all be using windows | 01:50 |
Jesta | for each user *who | 01:50 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: sounds like a job for samba | 01:50 |
Jesta | hyper_ch: thats what I was thinking | 01:51 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: and you don't need a gui for it... so xubuntu has no server edition... only ubuntu does... can you point out that article for me? | 01:51 |
Jesta | hyper_ch: part one http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/1 | 01:52 |
Jesta | hyper_ch: part two http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/07/24/build_your_own_better_server/2 | 01:52 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: you don't need xubuntu | 01:54 |
hyper_ch | I'd use the debian install or ubuntu server install | 01:55 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: I'm out for a little while but then I'm back | 01:55 |

Jesta | hyper_ch: sorry, wasn't watching :P | 03:16 |
hyper_ch | so, decided on whether you want to do a gui install or server install? | 03:17 |
Jesta | probably go with ubuntu server | 03:17 |
Jesta | just gotta read up on it now ;) | 03:17 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: it's not a big difference... but still I'd go for debian... so did you already download a ubuntu server cd? | 03:19 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: and by the way, you want the whole computer to dedicate as file server right? And if so, how many harddisks do you have in there? | 03:19 |
Jesta | not yet, dosen't matter anyway because my ISP mirrors almost every big distro | 03:19 |
Jesta | at the moment I only have one, but should be picking up a few more soon | 03:20 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: how big is the current one? | 03:21 |
hyper_ch | and you do have two different computers, right? the one that will be the file server and anoter one? | 03:21 |
Jesta | just an 80gb drive at the moment, its an old computer so will need to get more - and 5 computers will acess it | 03:22 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: how much ram? | 03:22 |
Jesta | 384 | 03:23 |
Jesta | i think | 03:23 |

Jesta | its something weird like that | 03:24 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: could be... then I would suggest the following partitioning | 03:24 |
hyper_ch | 1 GB swap partition | 03:24 |
evge | Is there any way to use keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard layout ? | 03:24 |
hyper_ch | 4 GB root partition ("/") Ext3 | 03:24 |
hyper_ch | rest home partition ("/home") Ext3 | 03:25 |
hyper_ch | evge: hmmm, sure you could setup that somehow.... worst case would be to make a shortcut that runs a shell script | 03:25 |
Jesta | alright, thanks for your help, I'll try debian as well :D | 03:25 |
Jesta | I'm off to bed now, later everyone | 03:26 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: well, ubuntu server is fine... just debian has been proven to be rock-stable as a server | 03:26 |
hyper_ch | Jesta: when you install the server, just don't select anything additional... make it as minmal as possible | 03:26 |
hyper_ch | oh well | 03:26 |

Lunis | hyper_ch, I didn't ask for your help thinking, I've been thinking about it for quite some time. This is a support channel, not a general guidance channel. Support or gtfo | 12:38 |
foreman | srsly. | 12:38 |
hyper_ch | Lunis: I do support but I am not required to spoon-feed ;) | 12:39 |
foreman | people like you make situations a lot more frustrating and never actually lead to any progress in the situation | 12:40 |
hyper_ch | foreman: you think spoon-feeding is any better? | 12:40 |
hyper_ch | foreman: you are welcome to tell him how to enable it again | 12:40 |
Lunis | hyper_ch, yes. stop assuming anyone who asks a question is an idiot, and give direct answers, or you're just making things harder | 12:40 |
foreman | i think that people come here because they have scoured forums and googled enough that they resort to talking to people like you. | 12:40 |
hyper_ch | Lunis: giving direct answers assumes the other is an idition... pointing someone in a direction assumes the other is no idiot | 12:41 |
foreman | you are an idiot. | 12:42 |
foreman | direct enough? | 12:42 |
hyper_ch | you should watch your language foreman | 12:42 |
foreman | :) | 12:42 |
Lunis | hyper_ch, i'm not sure where you're from but that's not the case in the english speaking world. If you say "the hotkey is alt+j" then you assume i know what a hotkey is, what alt is, etc. if you say "look over here maybe you'll find something related" then you're assuming they're an idiot and they have to be stepped through. I know how to use XFCE. I know how to use unix. I know how to do alot of things but I don't know about some features. | 12:42 |
Lunis | language? i think his language is perfectly clean | 12:43 |
foreman | pls dont perma banz muh ip adrez from teh internets? | 12:43 |
hyper_ch | Lunis: you assumed first that I didn't know what a hotkey is... so I just did what you also did | 12:43 |
hyper_ch | Lunis: you think calling someone an idiot is perfectly clean? do that to your boss ;) | 12:43 |
Lunis | hyper_ch, once again your intelligence shows. please let me know where exactly i said you don't know what a hotkey is? | 12:44 |
hyper_ch | Lunis: you don't even remember? [00:31] <Lunis> hyper_ch, if you know what the hotkey is, let me know, if not, you're not really helping anything. | 12:44 |
PriceChild | foreman, Lunis, lets calm down please :) | 12:44 |
PriceChild | No need for personal attacks. "/msg ubotu guidelines" | 12:45 |
