[02:34] In #ubuntu, phonebook_ said: ubottu, ..bot.... im saving all this to a text file for ref. all help is appreciated [02:39] The syntax of ubottu has made me realize how often the word "is" is used in normal English sentences. [02:41] we tend to define things a lot [02:50] That is silly. [02:57] Should I/we not support Logos01 in #ubuntu since they're dual booting with hackintosh'd OSX? [03:11] dual booting, or fusion? [03:11] Dual booting. Chameleon is a bootloader for hackintoshes. [03:12] 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] (Non Apple PCs illegally running OSX) [03:12] it's not illegal. it's a broken contract. we're not police. [03:13] Fair enough. [03:14] as always, support so long as you are comfortable. [03:22] It's illegal in the US, but then we're weird. [03:32] as in you'd go to jail for running osx on a non-mac? [03:32] or be fined? [03:32] or be given some other court-prescribed punishment? [03:42] In #ubuntu, smoochict said: ubottu how much is ubuntu? [03:44] Hi, can someone explain what this means? "ubottu: Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops. Thank you for your attention to detail" [03:47] smoochict: when you say " is " 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] when someone does that who doesn't have the capability to edit factoids, then it's forwarded here for review: [04:42:59] In #ubuntu, smoochict said: ubottu how much is ubuntu? [03:48] oh ok, thanks for the explanation [03:48] 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] alright [03:58] uh, how much is Ubuntu? [04:01] Normally $60, but for you, just $59.99 [04:03] I'll take 2 please [04:41] elky: Could be, yeah. It'd be copyright infringement. [04:43] elky: Actually, looks like it's also covered by the DMCA, so extra special fun time... [04:44] so you can be sued, but not prosecuted? [04:45] No, it's law... [04:46] yeah your country is pretty stupid [04:47] yup [04:54] you had a choice and everything, and you chose that one? [05:05] elky: what? [05:07] I was born like 10 miles from here. [05:08] 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 [05:10] Not really much of a choice - I still don't qualify for Canadian immigration. [05:10] I feel I should point out that I was intentionally stirring the pot :-) [05:11] Anyway, immigration is way more complicated than most people know. [05:11] yup [05:14] tonyyarusso, you did live in canada for a while, no? [05:14] he was on a student visa iirc [05:14] elky: Yeah, on a student visa. [05:15] ah [05:15] Well, "study permit" technically, but same concept. [05:15] which btw are simple as pie to get [05:16] 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] yup, same here when I went to get it for my step son [05:27] the bios partition? [05:27] BIOS Boot Partition. [05:27] /swap /bios ? [05:28] never heard that one before [05:28] http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#BIOS-installation [05:29] Needed for reliable bootloader installation on BIOS systems using a GPT label (partition table). [05:30] ok [05:31] bazhang: qtractor != qtcreator ;) [05:31] bazhang : I am trying to compile Qtractor to do music tsimpson he asked for qtractor [05:31] or maybe I just need coffee [05:32] yes.. I need coffee :) [05:32] hah === C0nfus3d is now known as M0hi [09:46] gordonjcp called the ops in #ubuntu () [09:50] in /msg [10:07] and bored [10:08] ha ha ha [10:08] I admire an honest assesment === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [10:52] ikonia: I was referring to him, he /quit : [10:52] P [10:52] ooh [10:52] I liked it better when I thought you where bored [15:20] In #ubuntu, gcmalloc said: ubottu, so my question is where can I find the reason why ? [15:21] the bot lists qgis as being found in qgis. weird [16:11] hm? [16:11] the !find qgis returns qgis as one item [16:12] find qgis [16:12] looks like its a virtual package. [16:12] !find qgis [16:12] yep with a ! [16:12] 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] N: Can't select versions from package 'qgis' as it is purely virtual [16:13] Sounds like a bug. [16:13] maybe. [16:13] !info qgis [16:13] Package qgis does not exist in precise [16:13] qgis and -common are both said not to exist in the !info [16:33] hi I tried to have some information about why the package qgis wasn't in pangolin. Can someone give me a pointer ? === Dave2 is now known as Dave [17:00] gcmalloc: see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qgis/+publishinghistory [17:25] !ping [17:25] another contentless ping... sigh... [17:25] odd === groupcat is now known as mrmist === Dave is now known as Dave2 [19:17] 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. [20:06] 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] in ubotu's brain [20:08] guntbert: can you list which need to be changed, just give me the factoid name [20:08] ot list one at a time and we can change them now [20:08] or* [20:09] 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] *if you :) [20:10] !time =~ s/10/12/ [20:10] I'll remember that IdleOne [20:10] !mailserver =~ s/10/12/ [20:10] !sshd =~ s/10/12/ [20:10] !php =~ s/10/12/ [20:10] any more [20:11] !mailserver [20:11] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds.
