[00:00] <mhall119> user setup is now exactly like any other *buntu
[00:00] <cyberanger> his issue was sudo rights, based on the whole bit
[00:00] <mhall119> yeah, I'm not happy with that, but I'm glad it allows for multiple users to have a Qimo desktop now
[00:00] <mhall119> it was a trade off
[00:05] <cyberanger> flawed
[00:05] <cyberanger> can't win
[00:18] <chibihogoshino> i really wish the apt had a force option that worked
[00:22] <cyberanger> I understand it (and I believe he did too) you just can't win
[00:22] <cyberanger> chibihogoshino: how's it not working?
[00:23] <chibihogoshino> the new version of pidgin is trying to overwrite of file from pidgin-facebookchat
[00:24] <chibihogoshino> i cant remove pidgin-facebookchat because i cant finish installing the new pidgin
[00:28] <chibihogoshino> this is stupid.. its one png file and you can force it to ignore the "error"
[00:29] <chibihogoshino> its a damn loop
[00:34] <chibihogoshino> well.. thats one way to get around it..
[00:35] <chibihogoshino> i removed the file in /var/lib/dpkg/info
[00:36] <cyberanger> ouch
[00:37] <cyberanger> of course, why'd you still have that plugin
[00:37] <chibihogoshino> yeah
[00:37] <chibihogoshino> i think
[00:37] <cyberanger> it's outdated for awhile now, xmpp solved that
[00:37] <chibihogoshino> yeah
[00:37] <chibihogoshino> i forgot to remove it
[00:38] <cyberanger> hehe, well, that's one reason I look at the info myself
[00:38] <cyberanger> and it should be better than that, ideally
[00:39] <chibihogoshino> it should ask if you want to ignore the over writes
[00:40] <chibihogoshino> one png should not brake dependency
[00:42] <chibihogoshino> man.. its 21 out
[00:43] <chibihogoshino> way to bloody cold for me
[00:51] <cyberanger> chibihogoshino: worse here
[00:52] <cyberanger> and yeah, a png shouldn't
[00:52] <cyberanger> but the issue in my book is the bigger picture
[00:52] <cyberanger> the package it was in
[00:52] <chibihogoshino> pidgin ?
[00:53] <chibihogoshino> i dont know why they have to both use the same name for the icon
[00:54] <chibihogoshino> the pidgin crew must of known that it was going to conflict but they released it anyway
[00:55] <cyberanger> well, actually considering pidgin's development team did not develop the fb plugin
[00:55] <cyberanger> and how defunct it is...
[00:57] <chibihogoshino> yeah
[03:26] <wrst> hey linuxman410
[03:27] <linuxman410> hey wrst
[03:27] <wrst> you doing ok linuxman410?
[03:28] <linuxman410> yeah i am think about a palm pre phone it is time for upgrade
[03:28] <wrst> we just got android phones and have been very happy
[03:29] <linuxman410> my daughter has a android locks up all the time
[03:32] <wrst> never had a lock up one with ours
[03:36] <wrst> well off to bed i go early, linuxman410 see you later
[04:22] <chibihogoshino> http://geomag.usgs.gov/realtime/
[05:09] <chibihogoshino> Reversals take a few thousand years to complete, and during that time--contrary to popular belief--the magnetic field does not vanish. "It just gets more complicated," says Glatzmaier. Magnetic lines of force near Earth's surface become twisted and tangled, and magnetic poles   pop up in unaccustomed places. A south magnetic pole might emerge over            Africa, for instance, or a north pole over Tahiti. Weird. But
[05:09] <chibihogoshino> it's still a planetary magnetic field, and it still protects us from space radiation and solar storms.
[05:09] <chibihogoshino> woops
[14:46] <cyberanger> chibihogoshino: that's an intresting opps ;-)
[20:33] <wrst> greetings everyone
[20:43] <cyberanger> greetings wrst
[20:44] <wrst> cyberanger: how is the day treating you?
[20:45] <cyberanger> reasonably
[20:49] <wrst> that's good i think i will go buy some milk and bread for the upcoming blizzard of doom!
[20:50] <cyberanger> I'm waiting myself
[20:51] <cyberanger> covered it anyhow, but I think we're gonna miss the blizzard of doom here
[20:53] <wrst> yeah i suspsect that here also
[20:53] <cyberanger> all the stuff I see is via the Gulf of Mexico, it might be cold enough for ice
[20:54] <wrst> don't say ice!
[20:54] <cyberanger> but the approach isn't one that is common for snow here, or there
[20:54] <wrst> know ice i don't care for
[20:54] <wrst> yeah i don't think we will get anything either and agreed
[20:54] <cyberanger> and ice I wonder about too, but that's my expected worst case here
[20:54] <cyberanger> I'm forseeing rain, and done
[20:59] <cyberanger> the thing to ask is what memphis is seeing now
[20:59] <cyberanger> cause apperently it's there already, same storm
[20:59] <cyberanger> but it is fragmenting some too, so idk
[21:00] <wrst> netritious: any snow?
[21:01] <wrst> we just need to ask our memphis contact cyberanger :)
[21:01] <netritious> wrst: not yet but on the way
[21:01] <wrst> netritious: do you all like to have snow ?
[21:05] <cyberanger> wrst: well, since idk if we're gonna get the same result, and I'm not getting the memphis segment, I didn't want to drag a name into it
[21:06] <cyberanger> but glad to see memphis isn't under mother natures dandriff yet
[21:07] <wrst> ha ha
[21:11] <cyberanger> memphis has it's own set of issues without it ;-)
[21:14] <wrst> yeah true cyberanger :)
[21:17] <cyberanger> and the two school systems here are down
[21:18] <cyberanger> my old school can be two faced on it's policy, due to the boarding school nature, somebody has kids to watch and somebody has to get paid to do it
[21:18] <cyberanger> so idk if I'll hear any news from them or not
[21:20] <netritious> wrst: I love snow :D
[21:20] <wrst> me too i know it i know it messes things up for people but still love it
[22:12] <netritious> cyberanger: http://tinyurl.com/2wh6bu
[22:18] <cyberanger> netritious: cool
[22:18] <cyberanger> I think I saw that before, wiki not forums
[22:18] <cyberanger> not exactly the same (the forum is the better howto)
[22:21] <cyberanger> I'm doing something similar with a local network
[22:21] <cyberanger> and a portable hdd
[22:46] <netritious> cyberanger: the DVDs are going to be handy for me....
[22:46] <netritious> I have a friend without a PC and can't afford inet either
[22:46] <netritious> at least not for awhile
[22:47] <netritious> so trying to hook him up with at least a computer he can maintain himself
[22:48] <netritious> where he can install whatever software he wants without A) leaving my drive with him or B) having to bring it over there if I didn't leave it with him :)
[22:52] <cyberanger> netritious: sweet
[23:23] <cyberanger> netritious: how much hdd space does he have in the machine your giving him?
[23:43] <cyberanger> this storm is weird, curving around huntsville and chattanooga, might miss us
[23:43] <cyberanger> not just curved, but split, horseshoe shaped
