| ubottu | In #ubuntu, phonebook_ said: ubottu, ..bot.... im saving all this to a text file for ref. all help is appreciated | 02:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan_U | The syntax of ubottu has made me realize how often the word "is" is used in normal English sentences. | 02:39 |
| elky | we tend to define things a lot | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | That is silly. | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | Should I/we not support Logos01 in #ubuntu since they're dual booting with hackintosh'd OSX? | 02:57 |
| elky | dual booting, or fusion? | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | Dual booting. Chameleon is a bootloader for hackintoshes. | 03:11 |
| elky | and depending on that, support them, or support them up until the point you can't be absolutely sure that it's not the fusion | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | (Non Apple PCs illegally running OSX) | 03:12 |
| elky | it's not illegal. it's a broken contract. we're not police. | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | Fair enough. | 03:13 |
| elky | as always, support so long as you are comfortable. | 03:14 |
| tonyyarusso | It's illegal in the US, but then we're weird. | 03:22 |
| elky | as in you'd go to jail for running osx on a non-mac? | 03:32 |
| elky | or be fined? | 03:32 |
| elky | or be given some other court-prescribed punishment? | 03:32 |
| ubottu | In #ubuntu, smoochict said: ubottu how much is ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| smoochict | Hi, can someone explain what this means? "ubottu: Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops. Thank you for your attention to detail" | 03:44 |
| tsimpson | smoochict: when you say "<something> is <something>" to ubottu, like "how much is ubuntu?", it understands that as a request to edit a factoid. in this case it interpreted "how much" as the factoid, and "ubuntu" as the response | 03:47 |
| tsimpson | when someone does that who doesn't have the capability to edit factoids, then it's forwarded here for review: [04:42:59] <ubottu> In #ubuntu, smoochict said: ubottu how much is ubuntu? | 03:47 |
| smoochict | oh ok, thanks for the explanation | 03:48 |
| tsimpson | we're pretty good a determining what is a genuine edit request and what was an accident, so don't worry too much about it | 03:48 |
| smoochict | alright | 03:48 |
| IdleOne | uh, how much is Ubuntu? | 03:58 |
| elky | Normally $60, but for you, just $59.99 | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | I'll take 2 please | 04:03 |
| tonyyarusso | elky: Could be, yeah. It'd be copyright infringement. | 04:41 |
| tonyyarusso | elky: Actually, looks like it's also covered by the DMCA, so extra special fun time... | 04:43 |
| elky | so you can be sued, but not prosecuted? | 04:44 |
| tonyyarusso | No, it's law... | 04:45 |
| elky | yeah your country is pretty stupid | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | yup | 04:47 |
| elky | you had a choice and everything, and you chose that one? | 04:54 |
| tonyyarusso | elky: what? | 05:05 |
| tonyyarusso | I was born like 10 miles from here. | 05:07 |
| IdleOne | She is questioning the wisdom in choosing to live in a country you agree is stupid. I would be insulted if I was you. | 05:08 |
| * IdleOne steps away from the gas can | 05:08 | |
| tonyyarusso | Not really much of a choice - I still don't qualify for Canadian immigration. | 05:10 |
| IdleOne | I feel I should point out that I was intentionally stirring the pot :-) | 05:10 |
| IdleOne | Anyway, immigration is way more complicated than most people know. | 05:11 |
| tonyyarusso | yup | 05:11 |
| elky | tonyyarusso, you did live in canada for a while, no? | 05:14 |
| IdleOne | he was on a student visa iirc | 05:14 |
| tonyyarusso | elky: Yeah, on a student visa. | 05:14 |
| elky | ah | 05:15 |
| tonyyarusso | Well, "study permit" technically, but same concept. | 05:15 |
| IdleOne | which btw are simple as pie to get | 05:15 |
| tonyyarusso | I needed a bunch of documents, but it wasn't as bad as it might have been - actually did it right at the border crossing, took under an hour. | 05:16 |
| IdleOne | yup, same here when I went to get it for my step son | 05:16 |
| bazhang | the bios partition? | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | BIOS Boot Partition. | 05:27 |
| bazhang | /swap /bios ? | 05:27 |
| bazhang | never heard that one before | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#BIOS-installation | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | Needed for reliable bootloader installation on BIOS systems using a GPT label (partition table). | 05:29 |
| bazhang | ok | 05:30 |
| tsimpson | bazhang: qtractor != qtcreator ;) | 05:31 |
| bazhang | <SecretFire> bazhang : I am trying to compile Qtractor to do music tsimpson he asked for qtractor | 05:31 |
| tsimpson | or maybe I just need coffee | 05:31 |
| tsimpson | yes.. I need coffee :) | 05:32 |
| bazhang | hah | 05:32 |

| ubottu | In #ubuntu, gcmalloc said: ubottu, so my question is where can I find the reason why ? | 15:20 |
| bazhang | the bot lists qgis as being found in qgis. weird | 15:21 |
| Pici | hm? | 16:11 |
| bazhang | the !find qgis returns qgis as one item | 16:11 |
| jussi | find qgis | 16:12 |
| Pici | looks like its a virtual package. | 16:12 |
| jussi | !find qgis | 16:12 |
| bazhang | yep with a ! | 16:12 |
| ubottu | File qgis found in app-install-data, grass, libqgis-dev, libqgis1.4.0, python-qgis, python-qgis-common, qgis, qgis-common, qgis-plugin-grass, qgis-plugin-grass-common (and 1 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=qgis&mode=&suite=precise&arch=any | 16:12 |
| Pici | N: Can't select versions from package 'qgis' as it is purely virtual | 16:12 |
| Pici | Sounds like a bug. | 16:13 |
| Pici | maybe. | 16:13 |
| jussi | !info qgis | 16:13 |
| ubottu | Package qgis does not exist in precise | 16:13 |
| bazhang | qgis and -common are both said not to exist in the !info | 16:13 |
| gcmalloc | hi I tried to have some information about why the package qgis wasn't in pangolin. Can someone give me a pointer ? | 16:33 |

| ubottu | In #ubuntu, hlpme said: !wilee: this is a new reinstall. I reinstalled it because it kept crashing. I'm loathe to reinstall it for the n'th time. I'm not sure what to do; I'd always thought linux was stable but I'm having second thoughts. | 19:17 |
| guntbert | hi, yesterday I submitted a bunch of edit requests to replace 10.04 references with the correct 12.04 references - Pici updated several but the rest is still open it seems | 20:06 |
| guntbert | in ubotu's brain | 20:06 |
| IdleOne | guntbert: can you list which need to be changed, just give me the factoid name | 20:08 |
| IdleOne | ot list one at a time and we can change them now | 20:08 |
| IdleOne | or* | 20:08 |
| guntbert | IdleOne: if look into the backlog from yesterday you will find them -I hope in already useable syntax - a few were not quite trivial | 20:09 |
| guntbert | *if you :) | 20:09 |
| IdleOne | !time =~ s/10/12/ | 20:10 |

| IdleOne | That should fix it | 20:28 |
| tsimpson | why are we using static numbers when we have the $cur*Num variables? | 21:33 |
| IdleOne | Good question | 21:36 |
| Unit193 | I'd guess because that's not always the only part that changes (see !automate) | 21:37 |
| tsimpson | hopefully that doesn't change every release | 21:40 |
