[00:56] 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... [00:58] getting confused about dependencies i assume [00:58] "but it's making me install OTHER things too!!!" [00:58] probably will, we haven't gotten that far yet [00:59] 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. [01:00] I find if you set APT::Install-Recommends off it cuts down a lot of unnecessary cruft [02:32] cmd.exe cmd for ubuntu plz [02:32] :) [02:37] he's going to port itunes to dosbox with cmd.exe [02:37] bazhang: Yes, I know!! [02:37] genii-around: You're far too kind. [02:37] bazhang: I almost rolled off my chair when you said that [02:38] 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 [02:39] 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 [02:44] What's the factoid which is something like "When responding to someone prefix the message with their name (use )"? [02:45] it's !tab , or !who [02:45] !who [02:45] 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] I think !who was what I was thinking:) [02:47] ormie has a bit of a history of trolling [02:47] trying to find some of his other nicks (one being floodbot9) [02:47] frogonwheels seems to be patiently dealing with them [03:17] So sorry bazhang, what have you gotten yourself into. [03:18] this is nothing [03:18] wait til you meet [03:25] 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 [03:26] lshw was inconclusive? [03:27] I took it to hardware channel to stop flooding #ubuntu [03:28] he wants to buy a lot of ram, yet cannot afford busfare [03:28] bazhang: Well, that does explain I suppose their narrow focus [03:52] 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] EMACS! [03:55] er.... you can still run nano in a transparent terminal? [04:32] bazhang: Which is none? :p [05:33] Where is dax when I need him. [05:34] #freenode [14:01] AlanBell: just sent you a mail, could you please verify with riddell [14:02] gah, and there we go again, my mail bounces... [14:05] * Mamarok shakes fist at Launchpad for trying to destroy her very identity [14:07] Mamarok: you sent it to the list [14:07] I suspect that has gone to everybody on the ubuntu-irc list [14:07] yup [14:07] well, yes, as I replied to that mail [14:07] alright, if that was your intention [14:08] yes, definitely [14:09] "nickname: just sent you a email" vs. "just sent email to the list" was a bit misleading then ;-) [14:16] 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] and I am not done with the surprises as the mail today shows [14:20] no problem, will sort it out later [14:21] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from BlueChaos) [17:44] In #ubuntu-bots, Mkaysi said: !mint-#ubuntu-fi is Linux Mint ei ole Ubuntun tuettu rinnakkaisjakelu. Ole hyvä ja hae tukea kanavalta #linuxmint-help palvelimella irc.spotchat.org [17:44] !mint-#ubuntu-fi is Linux Mint ei ole Ubuntun tuettu rinnakkaisjakelu. Ole hyvä ja hae tukea kanavalta #linuxmint-help palvelimella irc.spotchat.org [17:44] I'll remember that, IdleOne [18:38] dlentz called the ops in #ubuntu () [18:47] dlentz called the ops in #ubuntu () [21:40] Mamarok: you should be fully reinstated now [21:41] and I renewed you in kubuntu-offtopic [22:19] 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 :) [22:20] he musta joined and parted 10 times or more in under 5 minutes so far [22:21] 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! [23:33] AlanBell: thank you
