[02:49] <Cheri703> is there software to have sound activation? I don't want sound activated recording, I want to play a sound when it hears an external sound...if that makes sense
[03:26] <Cheri703> Is there a way to view current mic input level from terminal? or a command so a value can be acquired?
[03:27] <seidos> Cheri703: alsamixer?
[03:27] <seidos> not sure if that's what you're looking for
[03:28] <Cheri703> no, eventual goal is "if the mic input goes over X, then play this sound"
[03:28] <Cheri703> so I need to figure out how to find X
[03:28] <seidos> ahhhh
[03:28] <Cheri703> and get it to recognize X
[03:28] <seidos> maybe there's something in /dev
[03:29] <Cheri703> hmm..
[03:29] <seidos> there's /dev/audio
[03:30] <seidos> or maybe something in /proc
[03:31] <seidos> maybe /proc/asound
[03:31] <Cheri703> I dunno :/ I'm not even sure what I'm looking for
[03:32] <seidos> i'm just wondering where the state of the mic input level is stored
[03:32] <seidos> so that you can get it
[03:32] <seidos> i have no idea how to get it, really
[03:32] <seidos> but maybe i can help find the file for you
[03:32] <Cheri703> yeah, I have no clue :/
[03:32] <Cheri703> I appreciate it!
[03:33] <seidos> i know that /cat/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state has live info on battery state
[03:34] <seidos> so it could be the same for mic
[03:35] <Cheri703> *shrug* I don't know much about the internal workings of a lot of ubuntu :/
[03:35] <Cheri703> sounds feasible
[03:35] <seidos> i don't know much about internal workings, or coding
[03:35] <seidos> i am just crawling in the dark
[03:36] <Cheri703> I appreciate it :)
[03:37] <seidos> Cheri703: i would ask in #alsa or #pulseaudio
[03:37] <seidos> those folks would probably know
[03:37] <Cheri703> ok

[12:11] <frihtarec> can anyone help?
[12:11] <s-fox> Hello frihtarec  . I am not sure but perhaps someone else will be able to help.
[12:13] <frihtarec> i am going complitly to ubuntu, but because of the problems vith secure w2(i need it for conecting to the internet on my faculty) i still have windows
[12:49] <Guest33341> anyone there
[12:50] <Guest33341> what are the latest distribution of linux
[12:50] <duanedesign> hello
[12:50] <Guest33341> and what is the difference between ubuntu and linux...which one i should use
[12:50] <duanedesign> the latest Ubuntu release is Maverick Meerkat
[12:50] <bioterror> :D
[12:50] <tronyx> morning
[12:51] <bioterror> linux is the kernel of the GNU/Linux operating system
[12:51] <duanedesign> ubuntu is a linux distrobution
[12:51] <Guest33341> Mandriva?
[12:51] <duanedesign> same
[12:51] <bioterror> Mandriva is distrobution too
[12:51] <bioterror> and uses GNU tools with Linux kernel
[12:51] <Guest33341> so which one i should use, ubuntu or mandriva
[12:51] <duanedesign> they are all distrubutions built around the linux kernel
[12:52] <duanedesign> if you are a first time user i would recommend Ubuntu
[12:52] <bioterror> Guest33341, you can guess our answer for that question
[12:52] <duanedesign> well actually i would recommend Ubuntu to everyone :)
[12:52] <bioterror> if  you go to #mandriva, they will tell their
[12:53] <Guest33341> i used it before, but sudo command and all those i cant understand well
[12:53] <duanedesign> Ubuntu being such a popular Linux distro you will find information and support generally easier to come by
[12:53] <Guest33341> i know dos commands very well
[12:54]  * duanedesign waves at tronyx and bioterror 
[12:55] <Guest33341> you all are admin? or guest like me?
[12:55] <Guest33341> starting with + sign
[13:29] <mer_ge> stupid question, but can I change my password as usual, when I choose to encrypt my home (during install)?
[13:30] <MrChrisDruif> mer_ge: I think you can change passwords as normal. Only the partition is locked till the registered password is entered
[13:31] <mer_ge> okay
[13:41] <kidsodateless> hello. when i'm watching videos on youtube before i could get the .flv files in /tmp  but i notice it is not saving there anymore.
[13:41] <kidsodateless> anybody knows the answer?:)
[13:46] <guest> try using keepvid.com application to save your files
[13:49] <MrChrisDruif> guest: There is an other way for that
[13:51] <MrChrisDruif> kidsodateless: guest: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/saving-flash-videos-in-linux-tmp-no-longer-works/

[13:59] <MrChrisDruif> Jon__: ??
[14:00] <holstein> MrChrisDruif is awesome :)
[14:00] <bioterror> jon, you have to adjust some more time for grub to find the hdd
[14:00] <Jon__> ok sorry,but i have the "gave up waiting for root device" problem and i would like to know how to fix it
[14:00] <bioterror> somehow the grub cant find the hdd
[14:00] <Jon__> how and why
[14:01] <bioterror> you should add about 90 sec for the delay
[14:01] <MrChrisDruif> Thanks holstein :)
[14:01] <MrChrisDruif> Jon__: What's wrong? Why do I suck?
[14:02] <Jon__> never mind i found out you were helping someone else out. sorry
[14:02] <bioterror> Jon__, you have to add "rootdelay=90" to boot parameters
[14:02] <bioterror> Jon__, https://launchpad.net/bugs/290153
[14:02] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 290153 in linux "Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt" [High,Confirmed]
[14:02] <Jon__> i did and it didn't work. i go to the grub and press 'e' to edit and put that in? correct
[14:03] <holstein> i would add it of a more permanent basis
[14:03] <holstein> on*
[14:03] <bioterror> Jon__, /etc/default/grub
[14:04] <bioterror> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[14:04] <bioterror> add that rootrelay=90 to that line
[14:04] <Jon__> ok thanks. i'll try it.
[14:05] <Jon__> its not doing anything
[14:06] <holstein> its = ??
[14:06] <bioterror> did 90 secs go by?
[14:06] <bioterror> :D
[14:06] <holstein> the machine?
[14:06] <holstein> the text editor?
[14:06] <Jon__> no not yet
[14:06] <Jon__> i got the same thing as before.
[14:06] <Jon__> gave up waiting for root device
[14:07] <holstein> did you update grub?
[14:07] <Jon__> how do i do that
[14:07] <holstein> bioterror: this would need sudo update-grub right?
[14:07] <bioterror> holstein, not quite sure
[14:07] <bioterror> I cant remember :D
[14:07] <bioterror> but it wont hurt :D
[14:07] <holstein> wont hurt to run it
[14:07] <bioterror> ohhh
[14:07] <holstein> sudo update-grub
[14:07] <bioterror> great minds think a like
[14:07] <holstein> :)
[14:08] <Jon__> how do i do the update
[14:08] <bioterror> holstein, you should be worried as you're using same kind of words as I do
[14:08] <holstein> sudo update-grub
[14:08] <holstein> in a terminal
[14:08] <Jon__> where do i put that line
[14:08] <holstein> then hit the 'enter' key
[14:08] <holstein> Jon__: what line?
[14:08] <holstein> sudo update-grub?
[14:08] <Jon__> sudo update-grub
[14:09] <holstein> in the application 'terminal'
[14:09] <Jon__> ok???
[14:09] <holstein> menu applications - accessories - terminal
[14:10] <Jon__> i don't see accesories or terminal. am i in the right place?
[14:10] <holstein> Jon__: on the main gnome panel
[14:11] <holstein> you see the work 'applications'
[14:11] <holstein> click that
[14:11] <holstein> then, you click the word 'accessories'
[14:11] <holstein> then, you should see 'terminal'
[14:11] <holstein> Jon__: this is ubuntu 10.10 ?
[14:11] <Jon__> is that when i first start my netbook
[14:11] <Jon__> and yes
[14:11] <holstein> well, im assuming you are using a live cd?
[14:11] <Jon__> usb stick
[14:12] <holstein> that might complicate the grub update
[14:12] <Jon__> what do i do from start to finish?
[14:14] <holstein> Jon__: update the grub file
[14:14] <Jon__> i don't know how
[14:14] <holstein> right
[14:14] <holstein> lets go back to adding that line
[14:14] <holstein> i dont think that took you long enough
[14:14] <holstein> how did you do that?
[14:15] <holstein> what file did you edit?
[14:15] <holstein> can you use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ so we can see the changes made
[14:15] <holstein> the changes to /etc/default/grub
[14:15] <Jon__> Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
[14:16] <bioterror> Jon__, Boot failures on systems with Intel D945 motherboards
[14:16] <bioterror> Users have reported slower than normal detection of SATA hard drives on systems with Intel D945 motherboards in Ubuntu 8.10. This may cause the system to drop to a busybox initramfs shell on boot with a "Gave up waiting for root device." error. Wait a minute or two and then exit the initramfs shell by typing 'exit'. Booting should proceed normally. If it doesn't, wait a bit longer and try
[14:16] <bioterror> again.
[14:17] <Jon__> i'll try
[14:17] <nlsthzn> bioterror: what is the beginners team chat channel again?
[14:17] <holstein> at some point you'll have to stop trying things Jon__
[14:17] <holstein> and boot that machine
[14:17] <holstein> make it boot
[14:17] <bioterror> nlsthzn, what?
[14:18] <bioterror> nlsthzn, #ubuntu-beginners-team
[14:19] <nlsthzn> bioterror: thanks
[14:19] <Jon__> how do i 'make it boot'?
[14:20] <holstein> Jon__: let make sure you have fully implemented the couple suggestions you have
[14:21] <Jon__> well i put in exit like you said and the same thing came up again
[14:21] <bioterror> wait longer and type again :D
[14:21] <holstein> yeah, "wait a minute or 2"
[14:21] <holstein> id say give it 4 or 5
[14:21] <bioterror> or get a new motherboard ;)
[14:21] <holstein> try it, then rule it out, and move on
[14:21] <holstein> yeah, ^^
[14:22] <holstein> contact the vendor
[14:22] <Jon__> how
[14:22] <holstein> they probably have an email address
[14:22] <holstein> i like to send that email
[14:23] <holstein> not a nasty one
[14:23] <Jon__> thanks for the help that really didn't help me
[14:23] <holstein> just to let the vendors know that the product is not working for me
[14:23] <holstein> with linux
[14:23] <holstein> Jon__: so, you've waited 5 minutes?
[14:23] <holstein> and tried that?
[14:23] <Jon__> yes
[14:23] <holstein> ok
[14:24] <holstein> http://paste.ubuntu.com/ what you have in /etc/default/grub
[14:25] <Jon__> that site is not found
[14:25] <holstein> http://pastebin.com/
[14:25] <holstein> maybe
[14:25] <holstein> is that machine online?
[14:25] <holstein> you can test in the terminal
[14:25] <holstein> ping -c 4 google.com
[14:26] <Jon__> is that all help you can give me
[14:26] <holstein> ?
[14:27] <holstein> what is in your /etc/default/grub file?
[14:27] <Jon__> where do i find that. im clueless on this stuff
[14:27] <holstein> i want to confirm that the changes have been made properly
[14:27] <holstein> then, we can move on to more help i may or may not have
[14:28] <holstein> Jon__: thats what im concered about
[14:28] <holstein> you are supposed to have edited that file
[14:28] <holstein> in step one
[14:28] <holstein> right when you joined the channel
[14:28] <holstein> and, its totally cool that you dont know where that file is
[14:28] <Jon__> tell me again
[14:28] <holstein> BUT...
[14:28] <holstein> you need to edit the file
[14:29] <holstein>  /etc/default/grub
[14:29] <holstein> you can do that several ways
[14:29] <Jon__> where is it
[14:29] <Jon__> how
[14:29] <holstein> hmmm
[14:29] <holstein> the file is in /etc/default
[14:29] <Jon__> how do i navigate there
[14:30] <holstein> however you feel comfortable
[14:30] <holstein> you just want to make sure you are getting the one that is on the hard drive
[14:30] <holstein> and not the one on the USB stick
[14:30] <holstein> *if there is one on the USB stick
[14:31] <Jon__> i dont have the stick in
[14:31] <holstein> OK
[14:31] <holstein> so, how are you booting the machine?
[14:31] <Jon__> turn it on
[14:31] <holstein> my diagnostic process is based on you having booted from a USB stick
[14:32] <holstein> let me know when you are booted into that machine
[14:32] <holstein> from live USB or CD
[14:32] <Jon__> i have booted from the usb stick to install ubuntu to the hard drive in my toshiba netbook
[14:33] <holstein> Jon__: but the netbook is booting right?
[14:33] <holstein> thats not the one with the error?
[14:33] <Jon__> yes it will boot and ubuntu will work on my usb stick butnot on my hard drive
[14:33] <holstein> so, the toshiba netbook is the machine in question?
[14:34] <holstein> with the boot issue?
[14:34] <Jon__> what do you suggest
[14:34] <holstein> well, assuming that the answer to that question is 'yes'
[14:34] <holstein> and the netbook is the machine in question
[14:34] <holstein> that is not booting
[14:35] <holstein> let me know when you are booted into that machine with a live USB stick or CD
[14:35] <holstein> and we'll go from there
[14:35] <holstein> thats one way you can edit the grub file
[14:37] <Jon__> ok i have a screen with try ubuntu for free or install
[14:37] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1473416
[14:38] <holstein> i think we are on the right track
[14:38] <holstein> Jon__: you want to 'try ubuntu'
[14:38] <holstein> so we can edit your grub file
[14:39] <Jon__> hold on... and that link, how is that suppose to help?
[14:39] <holstein> well, that is someone with a toshiba netbook
[14:39] <holstein> with the same error
[14:40] <holstein> running ubuntu 10.04
[14:40] <holstein> Jon__: anyways, im about to run out for a bit
[14:40] <holstein> good luck to you
[14:40] <Jon__> thanks
[14:40] <holstein> when joining support channels, you might want to lead with 'my motherboard sucks'
[14:41] <Jon__> i have 10.10
[14:41] <holstein> instead of MrChrisDruif sucks
[14:41] <holstein> or whatever
[14:41] <Jon__> ok
[14:41] <holstein> no one is on salary here :)
[14:41] <holstein> but help will be given
[14:41] <MrChrisDruif> holstein: Sup?
[14:41] <Jon__> i apologize

[15:29] <johnny77> does anyone know what these processes does zeitgeist-datahub & zeitgeist-daemon?
[15:31] <bioterror> johnny77, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist_(file_manager)
[15:31] <bioterror> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist_(framework)
[15:31] <bioterror> there you go
[15:35] <johnny77> bioterror: ok, thanks. Is this part of Ubuntu that is automatically loaded?
[15:54] <Jason1> I configured opendns this morning and now my connection keeps dropping after 10 or 20 minutes of use. Any ideas on how to diagnose the issue?
[15:59] <bioterror> remove opendns and check if the problem exists
[16:46] <JackyAlcine> johnny77: You still here?
[16:47] <JackyAlcine> zeitgeist-datahub is what stores the information from the Zeitgeist framework (ie: zeitgeist-gedit, zeitgeist-chrome)
[16:47] <JackyAlcine> zeitgeist-daemon handles the pulling of such information (Gnome Activity Journal)
[16:50] <JackyAlcine> johnny77: ^
[17:00] <johnny77> JackyAlcine: I'm back. Thank you.
[17:01] <JackyAlcine> No problem.
[17:19] <nitin007> hello is there any indian

[19:43] <Jomik> Heya, can someone here help me out with configuring/setting up the wpa_supplicant? I've been trying for some time, but just can't seem to get past that point... I know that my wireless card connects if the internet doesn't have a password. But need it to connect to a WPA-secured net. Any help, please? :)
[19:49] <ibuclaw> Jomik, I take it you aren't using a conventional system? :)
[19:50] <ibuclaw> ie: no GUI
[19:50] <Jomik> I am
[19:50] <Jomik> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
[19:52] <s-fox> Hello.
[19:52] <bioterror> hi again
[19:52] <bioterror> long time no see
[19:52] <s-fox> Hello bioterror .
[19:52] <Jomik> Noone able to help me? :o
[19:52] <aveilleux> Jomik: network-manager-gnome has a built-in GUI configuration tool for WPA-encrypted networks
[19:53] <Jomik> I haven't really been looking in the GUI, where do I get it up? XD
[19:54] <Jomik> I try getting it connect by choosing the wireless net in the status bar, top right corner, it asks for my password and I type it in, 100% sure it's the right one. Then I wait without anything happening and it pops up again, asking for the password.
[19:54] <aveilleux> Jomik: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[19:56] <Jomik> I believe that wpa_supplicant was installed already with ubuntu 10.10? I at least get a lot of info when typing wpa_supplicant in the terminal?
[19:57] <aveilleux> Jomik: if it's already installed then it won't break anything by running that command.
[19:57] <Jomik> k
[19:57] <Jomik> trye
[19:57] <Jomik> true* lol
[19:59] <Jomik> what does touch do? O.o
[20:00] <aveilleux> Jomik: It creates an empty file if one does not already exist
[20:01] <Jomik> Ty :D
[20:01] <Jomik> Weird that he tells me to create a file with ENABLED=0, and after tells me to do a touch to the exact same...
[20:01] <aveilleux> Jomik: Yeah I dunno why that's there.
[20:02] <Jomik> :D
[20:02] <Jomik> ooooh, the layout changed? O.o
[20:03] <Jomik> What da eff, my layout changed to greyish bars instead of the blackish, and it doesn't react to mouse clicks? :o
[20:04] <aveilleux> Jomik: Can you log out and log back in?
[20:05] <Jomik> I can shutdown the computer by taking the power. But I can't touch anything on the GUI
[20:05] <Jomik> or open a terminal
[20:05] <Jomik> doesn't react to keyboard or mouse. The mouse moves though
[20:05] <aveilleux> Jomik: ctrl+alt+f1, then log in via terminal, then run sudo reboot
[20:05] <aveilleux> Jomik: That'll kill your session here
[20:06] <aveilleux> Jomik: So you'll have to reconnect to freenode
[20:06] <Jomik> I think I was logged in
[20:06] <Jomik> Nah, it's another computer :
[20:06] <aveilleux> Jomik: Ah, okay
[20:07] <Jomik> no reaction whatsoever to sudo reboot XD
[20:07] <aveilleux> Jomik: that should have rebooted the computer.
[20:07] <aveilleux> Jomik: Did you get to a Terminal? It should have blacked the screen and said "/dev/tty1" at the top.
[20:07] <Jomik> doesn't work with sudo shutdown now either
[20:07] <Jomik> It has
[20:08] <aveilleux> Jomik: Try sudo shutdown -r now
[20:08] <Jomik> Ubuntu 10.10 server-pc tty3 (I did f3 because f1 was just blank)
[20:08] <aveilleux> (The "now" is a part of the command)
[20:08] <Jomik> yeah
[20:08] <Jomik> nothing either
[20:09] <Jomik> CTRL + ALT + F7 brings me to the GUI? It has a grey box now, where the accessories menu normally is. O.o
[20:09] <Jomik> Should I just cut the power?
[20:11] <Jomik> Lol, this is the same thing that happened before I formatted my hdd <.<
[20:11] <aveilleux> Jomik: Unfortunately I think it's the only option at this point
[20:11] <Jomik> Oh
[20:11] <Jomik> now it's the normal GUI
[20:11] <Jomik> Yeah, I went ahead and did it
[20:12] <Jomik> It's trying to connect automatically again, but doesn't seem like it'll be able to <.<
[20:13] <aveilleux> Jomik: Right-click on the manager, click "edit connections", and delete the connection. Then start over.
[20:13] <Jomik> like, redo the driver installations? :o
[20:14] <Jomik> Do you have teamviewer?
[20:15] <aveilleux> Jomik: Uh, no, I meant redo the connection.
[20:15] <aveilleux> Jomik: Yes
[20:24] <Jomik> Would you mind popping on teamviewer? The computer in question has it. >.<
[20:24] <Jomik> I tried reconnecting now, it didn't work again
[20:25] <aveilleux> Jomik: If you can't get a network connection then how can I use TeamViewer?
[20:25] <Jomik> Wired network
[20:25] <aveilleux> Jomik: PM me for a minute
[20:25] <Jomik> I need it to be wireless, cuz atm I have a cable throughout the whole house, which is pretty annoying.
[20:40] <Jomik> Hey again, problem didn't get solved. So I wanna hear if anyone here thinks they can help me set up my wireless connection to connect to a WPA secure connection. I have it on a wired connection, but I need it to be wireless. The computer has teamviewer, so you can control it and see what happens if you want. Please help? XD
[21:00] <Jomik> How do I open .cab files?
[21:00] <Jomik> Trying another driver.
[21:05] <Jomik> Duh, that fixed it, tyvm bioterror :)
[21:05] <bioterror> good
[21:06] <bioterror> I was busy at another channel helping some newbies :D
[21:18] <Jomik> Heya, new question; is it possible to check if you're connected to the internet in a sh script? Like, start this program after the computer connected to the internet after startup.
[21:20] <JackyAlcine> Jomik: use the ping command.
[21:21] <JackyAlcine> ie: ping http://www.google.com -1
[21:21] <JackyAlcine> exclude the minus one. lol
[21:25] <Jomik> so while (! ping http://www.google.com) do done start something. ?
[21:26] <Jomik> I need to execute a program after we have gotten an internet connection XD
[21:26] <Jomik> I don't thing that ping returns true or false?
[21:44] <Jomik> Someone help me make that bash/shell script please? :)
[21:50] <MrChrisDruif> Jomik: paste.ubuntu.com
[21:50] <Lorizean> hi... so, I'm wondering, is there a specific package I can install to get the c++ opengl headers?
[21:52] <szczur> Jomik, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OnNetworkConnectionRunScript
[22:03] <Jomik> MrChrisDruif: What about paste.ubuntu.com?
[22:03] <Jomik> szczur tyvm for that :O What is the command for closing a process/program?
[22:09] <bioterror> seems like he figured it out?
[22:09] <bioterror> :D
[22:25] <Jomik> Why does my script in the if-down.d folder work when the script in the if-up.d folder doesn't? O.o
[22:28] <Jomik> How do I run a bash script from another bash script?
[22:28] <Jomik> szczur can you help me again? XD
[22:29] <szczur> you can run script from a script by using "exec" command
[22:30] <szczur> for example exec /etc/networking/if-up.d/connected.sh
[22:30] <Jomik> Yeah, I tried executing it... like exec /usr/bin/teamviewer
[22:30] <Jomik> I had a script in if-up.d
[22:30] <szczur> it should work
[22:30] <szczur> lemme check
[22:32] <Jomik> mine is in /etc/network/if-up.d
[22:32] <Jomik> and the script in /etc/network/if-down.d/ works ... O.o
[22:38] <mer_ge> hi! can't I just create an additional user with encrypted /home in 10.04?
[22:39] <mer_ge> there is no such option
[22:39] <Jomik> szczur do you have teamviewer?
[22:39] <szczur> Jomik, nope
[22:40] <Jomik> Damn
[22:40] <Jomik> pisses me off that it wont start O.o
[22:40] <Jomik> I can type "teamviewer" in the terminal
[22:40] <Jomik> and it'll start
[22:40] <bioterror> mer_ge, sudo adduser --encrypt-home <user>
[22:40] <Jomik> I can type /usr/bin/teamviewer, and it'll start.
[22:41] <Jomik> But, neither of those works in the script
[22:41] <Jomik> with or without exec
[22:41] <mer_ge> bioterror thanks! that simple?
[22:42] <bioterror> mer_ge, yup, that simple
[22:44] <Jomik> bioterror, any ideas? XD
[22:44] <bioterror> what
[22:44] <Jomik> Why a script wont run from if-up.d when it'll run from if-down.d ?
[22:44] <Jomik> etc/network/if-*
[23:03] <szczur> Jomik, can i take a look at the script
[23:03] <szczur> still searching for solution :)
[23:06] <Jomik> my script is 2 lines
[23:06] <Jomik> #!bin/sh
[23:06] <Jomik> teamviewer
[23:06] <Jomik> it works if I run it manually
[23:06] <Jomik> it starts up teamviewer
[23:06] <Jomik> but it doesn't work otherwise
[23:07] <Jomik> teamviewer is in /usr/bin
[23:07] <Jomik> and /usr/bin is in the $PATH
[23:20] <Jomik> Hey szczur, I have to run now... Could you mail me if you find an answer? I'll send you a query with my email.
[23:21] <szczur> ok
[23:21] <Jomik> tyvm :)
