[00:02] at least aptitude doesn't install or remove stuff without your consent [00:04] nor does apt-get distupgrade or UM [00:05] who is responsible for the new login artwork? that thing is nice! [00:07] anyway, I like to know exactly what is going on package-wise [00:14] does anyone know when the python problem is going to be fixed? [00:15] sometime after monday. [00:16] in less then one 1 week [00:16] but that can also expose new probs or strange dependencies [00:16] just under 2 weeks in Murrayfield [00:18] i <3 ext4 [00:19] * BUGabundo shares http://www.funtasticus.com/20090226/car-shows-are-better-with-boobs/ [00:21] * bruce89 wished empathy didn't log IRC [00:26] bruce89: seyon points the logs to /dev/null [00:38] test [00:39] bruce89: pong [00:39] hmm [00:39] deve null not working? [00:39] clearly not [00:41] only a few megabytes anyway [00:43] yah [00:44] $ du .purple/logs/ -sch [00:44] 343M .purple/logs/ [00:45] yikes [00:45] I have logs from the time I used gaim [00:45] * wgrant has a gigabyte of IRC logs. [00:46] * bruce89 feels a lot better about my 4 MB [00:48] eheeheh [00:48] also, there may be a time I want to know that I've said "Firhill" 4 times [00:48] I NEVER delete anything [00:48] * crdlb needs to find a way to make irssi only keep a few weeks of the #ubuntu log [00:49] crdlb: cron makes wonders [00:49] or the logserv [00:49] while irssi is running? ;/ [00:51] crdlb: logrotate? [00:51] yes [00:51] just trunk them [00:52] should work [00:53] how is that supposed to work if irssi has the log open? [00:56] I guess I can configure irssi to use a new log file each month [00:59] * DaemonFC still wonders why a human being would use irssi [00:59] are you on an XO laptop or something? [01:00] DaemonFC: many reasons. It's a nice client [01:00] I'm on a laptop, but it runs in screen on a desktop [01:00] there were better IRC clients than irssi 10 years ago [01:00] so I can suspend the laptop, lose wifi, etc. and nobody knows [01:01] crdlb: for bonus points, you can use bip and any irc client you choose, but that works too ;) [01:03] meh :> [01:03] Hobbsee: "bip"? [01:03] you can browse the web in the terminal with links or Arachne B-) [01:03] BUGabundo: irc proxy [01:03] the wave of the future [01:03] errr, lynx even [01:03] sure, but they don't have so many plugins ;) [01:05] just as well [01:05] when irc gets images, maybe I'll switch :) [01:05] heehe [01:08] ew, flash [01:10] no flash, no Chris Crocker [01:10] uh uh uh java [01:10] if it can't handle Flash, I don't want it [01:10] :P [01:10] and their rooted applets [01:10] * DaemonFC hates JAVA [01:10] * DaemonFC does not install JAVA [01:11] * bruce89 wonders why people capitalise things they don't like [01:12] that's why Flash took off like it did, because JAVA is so slow to start and takes so many system resources [01:12] * pavs hates PEANUT BUTTER [01:12] and Flash is different? [01:12] because I believe that JAVA is supposed to be capitalized [01:12] unless you are talking about the Isle of Java [01:12] !java [01:12] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [01:12] or I'll go have a cup of java [01:13] doesn't stand for anything, just link Mono [01:13] Mono means Monkey [01:13] I suppose because only a monkey would want to use Mono [01:13] heh [01:14] code monkey perhaps [01:14] you can remove Mono from any distro except for possibly Suse [01:14] with no ill effects [01:14] * bruce89 has on this thing, I don't care for anything it uses [01:15] that uses it [01:15] if you remove Mono from Ubuntu or Fedora, it takes out F-Spot (use gphoto instead) and Tomboy notes (takes 37 megs of RAM running as an applet) [01:15] so nothing huge [01:16] there are too many runtimes as it is I think [01:16] oh, and you can't use Banshee without it (Rhythmbox is better) and you can't use Moonlight (Who cares?) [01:16] if anything is worse than Flash, Silverlight is [01:17] all that crap is used for now is for video anyway [01:17] I tried Moonlight just to play with it, usually you get turned away from a Silverlight site cause you're not using Windows [01:17] and if you get cute and spoof user agent, it will crash Firefox even if it does anything at all [01:18] not to mention a lot of sites are on to silverlight 2.0 [01:18] and Moonlight only works in Firefox [01:18] and you can only get it from Novell [01:18] Novell will be forever be playing catch-up, but hopefully all this will die out [01:18] and if you try to play a video in it you have to go download Windows Media codecs from a Microsoft site [01:19] the video playing non-free things that is [01:19] and agree to a really bad EULA [01:19] Novell is replacing every standard GNOME app with one that runs in Mono [01:19] it's rare I agree with Mozilla, but it's good they are pushing
