| Madpilot | ah, the joy of users trying to run before they can walk. Wants to install "only those packages I want, not what someone else thinks I should want", doesn't know what X is or the difference between Gnome 3/Unity/Gnome Shell... | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| elky | getting confused about dependencies i assume | 00:58 |
| elky | "but it's making me install OTHER things too!!!" | 00:58 |
| Madpilot | probably will, we haven't gotten that far yet | 00:58 |
| elky | I usually just explain that the one thing they want is in lots of pieces, because some of those pieces can be reused in other things. | 00:59 |
| genii-around | I find if you set APT::Install-Recommends off it cuts down a lot of unnecessary cruft | 01:00 |
| bazhang | cmd.exe cmd for ubuntu plz | 02:32 |
| chu | :) | 02:32 |
| bazhang | he's going to port itunes to dosbox with cmd.exe | 02:37 |
| genii-around | bazhang: Yes, I know!! | 02:37 |
| chu | genii-around: You're far too kind. | 02:37 |
| genii-around | bazhang: I almost rolled off my chair when you said that | 02:37 |
| genii-around | Anyhow dosbox is cool in it's own way. You can actually run an entire install of Win 3.1 and 3.11WFW under it without issue | 02:38 |
| bazhang | darkenvy is running an eol vps(sp?) and has made some odd requests. why he would need to install java on that I'm not sure | 02:39 |
| chu | What's the factoid which is something like "When responding to someone prefix the message with their name (use <TAB>)"? | 02:44 |
| bazhang | it's !tab , or !who | 02:45 |
| Madpilot | !who | 02:45 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:45 |
| chu | I think !who was what I was thinking:) | 02:45 |
| bazhang | ormie has a bit of a history of trolling | 02:47 |
| bazhang | trying to find some of his other nicks (one being floodbot9) | 02:47 |
| genii-around | frogonwheels seems to be patiently dealing with them | 02:47 |
| chu | So sorry bazhang, what have you gotten yourself into. | 03:17 |
| bazhang | this is nothing | 03:18 |
| bazhang | wait til you meet <serial troll name here> | 03:18 |
| bazhang | <wolfgang_> bazhang, i dont have money or time or a car im 13 <--- why he cannot take it into the shop to see if it supports 8GB ram | 03:25 |
| Madpilot | lshw was inconclusive? | 03:26 |
| bazhang | I took it to hardware channel to stop flooding #ubuntu | 03:27 |
| bazhang | he wants to buy a lot of ram, yet cannot afford busfare | 03:28 |
| genii-around | bazhang: Well, that does explain I suppose their narrow focus | 03:28 |
| bazhang | <Jester86_Mobile> hey does anyone know of a transparent text editor or IDE. Not just nano ran in terminal - I want to be able to watch a movie in the background and write code over top of it | 03:52 |
| bazhang | EMACS! | 03:52 |
| Flannel | er.... you can still run nano in a transparent terminal? | 03:55 |
| chu | bazhang: Which is none? :p | 04:32 |
| chu | Where is dax when I need him. | 05:33 |
| bazhang | #freenode | 05:34 |
| Mamarok | AlanBell: just sent you a mail, could you please verify with riddell | 14:01 |
| Mamarok | gah, and there we go again, my mail bounces... | 14:02 |
| * Mamarok shakes fist at Launchpad for trying to destroy her very identity | 14:05 | |
| Myrtti | Mamarok: you sent it to the list | 14:07 |
| DJones | I suspect that has gone to everybody on the ubuntu-irc list | 14:07 |
| Myrtti | yup | 14:07 |
| Mamarok | well, yes, as I replied to that mail | 14:07 |
| Myrtti | alright, if that was your intention | 14:07 |
| Mamarok | yes, definitely | 14:08 |
| Myrtti | "nickname: just sent you a email" vs. "just sent email to the list" was a bit misleading then ;-) | 14:09 |
| Mamarok | well, yeds, but I am fighting at getting my subscriptions sorted out with a mail address change since several months now, which was pretty flawless in most parts but an utter mess in Launchpad | 14:16 |
| Mamarok | and I am not done with the surprises as the mail today shows | 14:16 |
| AlanBell | no problem, will sort it out later | 14:20 |
| ubottu | FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from BlueChaos) | 14:21 |
| ubottu | In #ubuntu-bots, Mkaysi said: !mint-#ubuntu-fi is <reply> Linux Mint ei ole Ubuntun tuettu rinnakkaisjakelu. Ole hyvä ja hae tukea kanavalta #linuxmint-help palvelimella irc.spotchat.org | 17:44 |
| IdleOne | !mint-#ubuntu-fi is <reply> Linux Mint ei ole Ubuntun tuettu rinnakkaisjakelu. Ole hyvä ja hae tukea kanavalta #linuxmint-help palvelimella irc.spotchat.org | 17:44 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that, IdleOne | 17:44 |
| ubottu | dlentz called the ops in #ubuntu () | 18:38 |
| ubottu | dlentz called the ops in #ubuntu () | 18:47 |
| AlanBell | Mamarok: you should be fully reinstated now | 21:40 |
| AlanBell | and I renewed you in kubuntu-offtopic | 21:41 |
| BarkingFish | Good evening ops, would you mind awfully, keeping an eye on IBMHPGOOGLE in #kubuntu please? It looks like his connection is on the fritz, he's in and out like a moth in a wardrobe :) | 22:19 |
| BarkingFish | he musta joined and parted 10 times or more in under 5 minutes so far | 22:20 |
| BarkingFish | perhaps possibly even a gentle nudge into ##fix_your_connection wouldn't go amiss? :) But I won't tell you your job, you know it far better than I do :P Thanks! | 22:21 |
| Mamarok | AlanBell: thank you | 23:33 |
