[19:28] <bobo123> how do update-mime-database work? if I want to change the descriptions for filetypes in the filemanager, they are in /usr/share/mime/ but those files say <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!--> but man for update-mime-database does not say what files is the source for the decriptions
[20:03] <bobo123> Hmm.. I suppose I can cat togheter all those mime-description-files together into overide.xml and change the descriptions in it (and remove all those other languages)
[20:25] <TheAberrant> Hi all - I'm struggling with iptables.  Trying to block all connections except through my VPN (10.8.0.X), but keep blocking all my connections and locking myself out (it's a remote VPS).
[20:46] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[20:47] <hobgoblin> hello
[20:48] <Silver_Fox_> Hello master.
[20:48]  * hobgoblin bows 
[20:48]  * Silver_Fox_ bows 
[20:48] <hobgoblin> and tips
[20:48] <Silver_Fox_> ... lower
[21:08]  * zkriesse falls on floor
[21:08] <zkriesse> wazzup Silver_Fox_ and hobgoblin
[21:08] <zkriesse> hobgoblin: you gonna go back to piskie?
[21:25] <suprengr> boo!
[21:26] <aveilleux> eek D:
[21:28] <suprengr> ;D
[21:29] <dumbstupidhuman> anyone know how to get control of all the buttons on a mouse?
[21:34] <suprengr> So there I was - thinking of joining the u-b team, checked in Launchpad and found u-b "is a restricted team" -  ???
[21:37] <pedro3005> suprengr, there's a whole joining process
[21:38] <pedro3005> check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership
[21:39] <suprengr> pedro3005: thanks - was away just looking for that, cheers -  will do.
[21:41] <suprengr> there appears to be a big conflict though... "Subscribe to the mailing list to ensure that you remain up-to-date with what the team is doing. "
[21:41] <suprengr> Policy:  You must be a team member to subscribe to the team mailing list.
[21:42] <pedro3005> haha fail
[21:42] <suprengr> boo hiss
[21:42] <pedro3005> take that, bureaucracy
[21:42]  * pedro3005 shakes head
[21:49] <Silver_Fox_> Bureaucracy is a wonderful thing....
[21:50] <suprengr> Joining ubuntu-beginners team... when QA overtakes common sense.
[21:50] <suprengr> ;(
[21:56] <zkriesse> suprengr: When you get taken on by a mentor you sign up to the mailing list
[21:57] <zkriesse> Also, you don't have to sign up to it but send an email to the list introducing yourself/asking for a mentor is a good way to start
[22:02] <TheAberrant> Weird, why would my iptables -L command hand for a couple seconds before showing the rules?  It shows the table headers, then just wait for a second or two then spits them out
[22:08] <TheAberrant> nevermind - it's trying to resolve dns for something.  -n fixes it
[22:08] <suprengr> zkriesse: thanks, think I'm getting stuff sorted out right now.
[22:13] <zkriesse> suprengr: yah
