[00:08] <InHisName> Should one consider using a laptop with server software running on it ?  probably not .  .    .      .        .
[02:04] <ChinnoDog> for me, yes
[02:18] <InHisName> So you need to move (physically) the server to various location attachment points to the internet ?  That's not very typical, how so ?

[13:40] <SamuraiAlba> good bacon to all!
[15:25] <InHisName> testing testing
[15:26] <InHisName> Bacon man gone already ?
[15:29] <InHisName> any pidgin experts around ?
[15:29] <InHisName> I had something weird happen.
[15:30] <InHisName> One chatroom I could type in, but when clicking on another room tab, I'd go to it.  Then try to type in it and the typing appeared in the first rooms type space.
[15:30] <InHisName> I finally gave up and quit pidgin and restarted all fine now.
[15:33] <InHisName> Then when rejoining all the rooms, vbox still had all the old conversation from before the shutdown?
[15:33] <InHisName> How did it do that ?
[15:34] <InHisName> I'd like to know how to start in room and continue with old logs still there ?
[15:56] <rmg51> not really possible with pidgin
[15:56] <rmg51> you can only show the last saved log
[15:57] <rmg51> you can find it under tools/plugins/history
[15:58] <rmg51> only way I know
[15:58] <rmg51> back to work now
[16:11] <InHisName> I don't have a tools dir that is tools/plugins/history
[16:13] <InHisName> no pidgin refs
[16:23] <rmg51> look under buddy list
[16:24] <rmg51> you may need to show buddy list
[16:25] <rmg51> or right click on the icon on the top panel
[16:25] <rmg51> that has plugins
[16:51] <jedijf> InHisName: use a bouncer
[16:52] <jedijf> InHisName: http://sourceforge.net/projects/znc/
[16:53] <PennBot> Title: ZNC - Advanced IRC Bouncer | Download ZNC - Advanced IRC Bouncer software for free at SourceForge.net (at sourceforge.net)
[17:17] <rmg51> znc is in the repos
[17:32] <InHisName> jedijf: looking at link, what is bouncer ?
[17:33] <InHisName> ok i c
[17:35] <InHisName> What is really strange is #vbox had a long stretch of 3 days.  I ended pidgin.  Waited 2 minutes and started pidgin again.  #vbox retained the 3 days of old conversations.  All the others started fresh and empty.
[17:36] <InHisName> What I wanted to know is how to repeat that event with #vbox where it seemed to 'remember' the last three days anyway.
[17:36] <InHisName> Not add another app 'znc' or what ever.  At least not this soon, yet.
[17:40] <rmg51> back to history
[17:40] <rmg51> as long as it's one big log
[17:41] <InHisName> how to in pidgin ?
[17:43] <InHisName> pidgin has 'enable logging'   I see I need to check it in EACH chatroom that I want logged.
[17:43] <InHisName> Interesting, #vbox was not checked.  Still not sure how it did that.
[17:44] <rmg51> you should only have to enable logging once for all chat rooms
[17:44] <InHisName> If I exit pidgin, it now will remember the old log for #ubuntu-us-pa  and put it back when it is started even after a reboot ?
[17:45] <rmg51> I don't know if it is the same in a vm
[17:45] <InHisName> Seems each room needs separate checking.
[17:45] <InHisName> I'm in host.
[17:45] <rmg51> then it is a vm thing
[17:45] <rmg51> you need to find plugins
[17:45] <rmg51> then check history
[17:46] <InHisName> I prefer separate anyway.
[17:46] <rmg51> that is the only way I know how it's done
[17:46] <InHisName> pidgin has plugins ?
[17:46] <rmg51> yep
[17:47] <rmg51> keep in mind....
[17:47] <InHisName> where to review etc.?
[17:47] <rmg51> it will only show the last log
[17:48] <rmg51> do you have an icon on the top panel?
[17:48] <InHisName> Yes, just poped up buddy list.   More options there.
[17:49] <InHisName> ok found plugins
[17:50] <rmg51> just go through the list until you find history
[17:50] <rmg51> check it and your good to go
[17:50] <rmg51> again.... it will only show the last log
[17:51] <InHisName> ok that is done - it mentioned the check item also.
[18:35] <InHisName> Ok shut down pidgin.   On restart,  only #vbox has old logs.  UNchecked.   ubuntu-us-pa checked & empty.
[18:36] <InHisName> I must be doing something wrong.
[18:40] <rmg51> it's a vbox thing
[18:40] <rmg51> at least I think it is
[18:41] <rmg51> if you have logging checked you should have saved logs someplace
[18:42] <InHisName> #vobx chatroom is controlling my logs ???  now that sound more strange.
[18:43] <rmg51> not the chat room, the app
[18:43] <rmg51> but it should work
[18:44] <InHisName> virtualbox is meddling with my pidgin app ?
[18:44] <rmg51> if I remember correctly, I had logging turned on when I ran vmware
[18:45] <rmg51> if you did it right then something is meddling with it
[18:46] <InHisName> #vbox has a historical bunch of conversation and it is NOT checked for logging.
[18:47] <rmg51> we don't care about vbox
[18:47] <InHisName> #ubuntu-us-pa IS checked and had some conversation when I ended pidgin.  Started up now blank.
[18:47] <rmg51> it is the others that you need to get to work
[18:47] <InHisName> Same for #gns3, checked, restared and old conv not in new run.
[18:48] <rmg51> is history checked?
[18:48] <InHisName> BUT #vbox NOT check and it has old set.  Amazing
[18:48] <InHisName> yes history checked too.
[18:48] <rmg51> then it should work
[18:49] <rmg51> unless vbox is messing things up
[18:49] <InHisName> I wanted to know how #vbox is doing that, so I could replicate it in other rooms.
[18:51] <InHisName> So far UNchecked one keeps logs over restart.   Checked ones don't.    backwards
[18:53] <rmg51> not sure if I can help you any more
[18:53] <rmg51> no more ideas
[18:53] <rmg51> you may have to look to see where logs are being saved
[18:54] <rmg51> usually under purple
[18:54] <rmg51> if nothing is there then no logs are being saved
