Madpilotah, 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
elkygetting confused about dependencies i assume00:58
elky"but it's making me install OTHER things too!!!"00:58
Madpilotprobably will, we haven't gotten that far yet00:58
elkyI 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-aroundI find if you set APT::Install-Recommends off it cuts down a lot of unnecessary cruft01:00
bazhangcmd.exe cmd for ubuntu plz02:32
chu:)02:32
bazhanghe's going to port itunes to dosbox with cmd.exe02:37
genii-aroundbazhang: Yes, I know!!02:37
chugenii-around: You're far too kind.02:37
genii-aroundbazhang: I almost rolled off my chair when you said that02:37
genii-aroundAnyhow 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 issue02:38
bazhangdarkenvy is running an eol vps(sp?) and has made some odd requests. why he would need to install java on that I'm not sure02:39
chuWhat's the factoid which is something like "When responding to someone prefix the message with their name (use <TAB>)"?02:44
bazhangit's !tab , or !who02:45
Madpilot!who02:45
ubottuAs 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
chuI think !who was what I was thinking:)02:45
bazhangormie has a bit of a history of trolling02:47
bazhangtrying to find some of his other nicks (one being floodbot9)02:47
genii-aroundfrogonwheels seems to be patiently dealing with them02:47
chuSo sorry bazhang, what have you gotten yourself into.03:17
bazhangthis is nothing03:18
bazhangwait 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 ram03:25
Madpilotlshw was inconclusive?03:26
bazhangI took it to hardware channel to stop flooding #ubuntu03:27
bazhanghe wants to buy a lot of ram, yet cannot afford busfare03:28
genii-aroundbazhang: Well, that does explain I suppose their narrow focus03:28
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 it03:52
bazhangEMACS!03:52
Flanneler.... you can still run nano in a transparent terminal?03:55
chubazhang: Which is none? :p04:32
chuWhere is dax when I need him.05:33
bazhang#freenode05:34
MamarokAlanBell: just sent you a mail, could you please verify with riddell14:01
Mamarokgah, and there we go again, my mail bounces...14:02
* Mamarok shakes fist at Launchpad for trying to destroy her very identity14:05
MyrttiMamarok: you sent it to the list14:07
DJonesI suspect that has gone to everybody on the ubuntu-irc list14:07
Myrttiyup14:07
Mamarokwell, yes, as I replied to that mail14:07
Myrttialright, if that was your intention14:07
Mamarokyes, definitely14:08
Myrtti"nickname: just sent you a email" vs. "just sent email to the list" was a bit misleading then ;-)14:09
Mamarokwell, 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 Launchpad14:16
Mamarokand I am not done with the surprises as the mail today shows14:16
AlanBellno problem, will sort it out later14:20
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from BlueChaos)14:21
ubottuIn #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.org17:44

ubottuI'll remember that, IdleOne17:44

AlanBellMamarok: you should be fully reinstated now21:40
AlanBelland I renewed you in kubuntu-offtopic21:41
BarkingFishGood 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
BarkingFishhe musta joined and parted 10 times or more in under 5 minutes so far22:20
BarkingFishperhaps 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
MamarokAlanBell: thank you23:33
