Kilosand to show what you wanna see and where to see it07:15
* Kilos waits for ai!07:16
inetproKilos: one thing I really enjoyed a lot in Konversation is the ability to insert a marker line07:22
inetprofrom the insert menu07:22
inetproor just Ctrl+R07:22
Kilosoh yes thats same as xchat07:22
Kiloswhen you on another window xchat marks it07:23
inetproso does quassel, but with konversation you can set an additional marker line07:23
Kiloshey that ctrl+r is great too for when you gotta go do something and dont wanna scroll back forever07:23
inetproexactly07:24
Kilosyip you are right konversation rocks too also as well07:24
Kilosnow all i need to know are the shortcut keys to open konsole/terminal thing07:28

magespawn good morning y'all07:41
Kiloshi magespawn07:43
Kilosoh magespawn i think it was you that said apt-get has supercow stuff other day when someone said something about aptitude07:49
Kilosthe supercow dont remove orphan packages but aptitude does07:49
Kilosguess who has been reading the book07:50

Symmetriasorry was afk10:47
Symmetriaarbor is a netflow platform10:47
magespawnamazing i have just found out that to use a yahoo.com address with a email client you have to pay about $20 a year11:22
ThatGraemeGuywhoa, is it suddenly 1997? :-/11:22
magespawnyou mean the cost, or that someone still wants a yahoo address?11:32
superflymagespawn: that someone still wants a yahoo.com address11:49
superflylike, "please fax this to us"11:49
superflyUm, hi, 1995 called, they want their fax machine back.11:50

superflytonberry352_: almost any government department11:50
magespawnhey a fairly big part of the income in my shop is from sending faxs11:51
tonberry352_wonder how many millions it will cost to covert to email...11:51
Symmetriaheh for anyone who has network clue, and actually understands what they are looking at: http://www.alstonnetworks.net/presentations/as-path-report.pdf11:52
magespawnpeople seem to thin that a scanned and emailed doc is not as secure as a fax11:52
Symmetriathats about the most hardcore thing I have seen in a LONG time11:52
magespawni'll have a look anyway, then come and ask for an explination11:52
magespawnSymmetria: okay looks like somebody had a lot more traffic coming in than going out12:00

Kilos-tumbleweed: can i bug you? how come i keep getting quantal xserver packages here on precise?17:13
tumbleweedKilos-: you must have added a quantal source to your apt17:14
Kilos-xserver-xorg-quantal lts and others17:14
tumbleweedKilos-: pastebin apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-quantal17:14
tumbleweedoh sorry17:14
tumbleweedthose are the quantal-backported-HWE stack17:14
tumbleweedbasically, quantal's kernel and X were backported to precise17:15
tumbleweedso that hardware that wasn't supported by precise when it released can run precise17:15
Kilos-oh my. every time i upgrade i can boot back in to gui17:16
Kilos-had to install xorg now to get here and aoptitude keeps wanting to remove the quantal stuff17:16

Kilos-ocan you give it to me again tomorrow please magespawn. i cant find it here19:04

Kilos-will save it with maaz19:05
magespawnhttp://ubuntu-manual.org/downloads19:06
magespawnwhat is th command to save things with Maaz?19:07
tumbleweedMaaz: help factoids19:07
Maaztumbleweed: Factoids are arbitrary pieces of information stored by a key. Factoids beginning with a command such as "<action>" or "<reply>" will supress the "name verb value" output. Search and replace functions won't use real regexs unless appended with the 'r' flag.19:07
MaazYou can use it like this:19:07
Maaz  search [for] [<limit>] [(facts|values) [containing]] (<pattern>|/<pattern>/[r]) [from <start>]19:07
Maaz  literal <name> [( #<from number> | /<pattern>/[r] )]19:07
Maaz  forget <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )]19:07
Maaz  <name> is the same as <other name>19:07
Maaz  <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] += <suffix>19:07
Maaz  <name> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )] ~= ( s/<regex>/<replacement>/[g][i][r] | y/<source>/<dest>/ )19:07
Maaz  <factoid> [( #<number> | /<pattern>/[r] )]19:07
Maaz  <name> (<verb>|=<verb>=) [also] <value>19:07
Maaz  last set factoid19:07
tumbleweedhrm, it's not obvious there19:07
tumbleweedbut foo is bar19:07
magespawnsorry?19:08
tumbleweedMaaz: people are crazy19:09
Maaztumbleweed: One learns a new thing every day19:09
tumbleweedMaaz: people19:09
Maaztumbleweed: people are crazy19:09
tumbleweedMaaz: forget people19:09
Maaztumbleweed: Sure19:09

Kilos-so tumbleweed do i have to lock my kernel and xthings so they dont upgrade to the quantal stuff and crash again?19:34
Kilos-or can i remove the quantal stuff somehow19:35
tumbleweedKilos-: you wouldn't automatically use the quantal stack19:36
tumbleweedyou are only getting it because you installed from a 12.04.2 CD19:37
tumbleweedhow does it break things?19:37
Kilos-i cant boot into gui19:37
Kilos-when it upgrades19:37
Kilos-i get update popups when there are and then it messes up after upgrading19:38
tumbleweedwhat started this?19:39
tumbleweedI thought you installed from CD recently?19:39
Kilos-went recovery mode then from cli installed xorg to get going again19:39
Kilos-yes today i installed19:39
tumbleweedoh, so you have the quantal kernel with the precise X?19:39

Kilos-just when everything is working lekker then its update time and crash19:40
* Kilos- cries19:40
Kilos-at least kde is seeing my modem now19:41
magespawncould you not lock the x packages and upgrade everything else?19:42
tumbleweedno, generally you shouldn't hold any packages19:42
Kilos-the only way i know how to lock is using synaptic19:42
tumbleweedKilos-: either go with the quantal packages for everything, or don't19:42
Kilos-i didnt choose anything i let it choose what it wants19:43
tumbleweedbut it was fine from the CD?19:43
tumbleweedit broke later?19:43
Kilos-yes later19:43
Kilos-first few times was when running apt-get dist-upgrade19:44
