brobostigongood morning everyone.09:58
MartijnVdSRemember.. http://xkcd.com/838/10:06
Myrttiso now the new Sputnik is official10:12
Myrttihttp://bartongeorge.net/2013/11/15/introducing-sputnik-3-and-its-unofficial-big-brother/10:12
MartijnVdSMyrtti: WANT.. but I just got an XPS12 (with the rotating screen)10:13
MartijnVdSwell, $employer did, for me.10:14
brobostigonwhen you hit more, at the bottom of google now, and it says, not available, what does that meant to mean?10:15
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: it doesn't have more cards to show you for your current location/time10:15
brobostigonMartijnVdS: ok, because it isnt entirly clear.10:16
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: (like "photo spots", sports statistics for your favorite teams, etc.)10:16
brobostigonMartijnVdS: yep. it seems to think i am only interested in the weather all the time,10:17
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: if you put appointments into your Google calendar, and add locations to them, they'll start showing up10:17
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: I get "You need to leave now!" popups even :)10:18
brobostigonMartijnVdS: yes, that they do.10:18
brobostigonMartijnVdS: i do aswell, for example before i have a drum lesson.10:18

ali1234hmm ok so click frameworks = an empty file with whatever framework you want to announce you have11:27
ali1234that's kind of cheezy, but whatever11:27
MartijnVdSali1234: Apache Click?11:28
ali1234no ubuntu click11:28
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)11:31
bigcalmAnybody know how to correctly use the wifi connection of a laptop from Virtual Box?11:32
MartijnVdStransparently?11:33
MartijnVdSor NATted?11:33
MartijnVdSbecause that second option works out of the box for me11:33
bigcalmOkay, I'll try it on the 1st adaptor11:34
bigcalmNAT or NAT network?11:34
bigcalmStarting an ubuntu server in vbox on a windows host shows "Waiting for network configuration...       Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..."11:37
bigcalmThat's with NAT as the 1st adaptor11:38
bigcalmOh, despite that, the vm is able to connect to the outside world :)11:39
MartijnVdSbigcalm: I've only use virtualbox with vagrant really11:55
bigcalmSomewhat regretting naming the vm "iain-laptop-ubuntu-server"11:58
MartijnVdSilus!11:58
bigcalmHeh, why didn't I think of that?11:59
MartijnVdSalso, ~/.ssh/config to the rescue11:59
bigcalmCan one rename a machine easily?11:59
penguin42yeh12:00
penguin42bigcalm: Update /etc/hostname and check your /etc/hosts - it's got a reasonable chance12:00
bigcalmThat all? Oh :)12:00
MartijnVdSwell that + a reboot12:00
MartijnVdSob12:00
MartijnVdSv12:00
bigcalmEee, that worked :)12:04
bigcalmilus sounds quite nice now12:05
MartijnVdSillustrious, almost12:05
penguin42bigcalm: Watch out for anything too odd, but that should be fine12:06
MartijnVdSyou could grep for the old hostname in /etc12:07
bigcalmIn the name of ssh keys12:09
MartijnVdSthat's not a problem12:09
bigcalmNow grepping the whole file system. This may take some time12:12
MartijnVdSnothing out /etc should break things12:12
MartijnVdSoutside of*12:12
bigcalmOkay12:12
bigcalmLoads in my home dir :(12:13
bigcalmHopefully just cache files12:13
MartijnVdSbigcalm: ~/.bitcoin -> cash files12:21
bigcalm;)12:21
Myrttiaw my gawd, Cooking with Dog on Google+ \o/13:41
MartijnVdSMyrtti: http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/filipino/00/rec0001.html ?13:42
Myrttiobviously not13:42
Myrttihttps://plus.google.com/+cookingwithdog/13:42
Myrttilove the graphics13:43
MartijnVdSIt's called "Cooking with dog" but it's not about recipes with "dog" as an ingredient?!13:44
DJonesClicking the link, I was expecting it to something involving "Dog The Bounty Hunter", probably involving BBQ's & beer13:52
ali1234MartijnVdS: thatsthejoke.mpg14:04
MartijnVdSali1234: the joke is unfunny.14:06
dubac0_anyone here know how to make Swedish buns for Lucia14:19
Myrttidubac0_: http://www.food.com/recipe/saint-lucia-buns-lussekatter-saffron-buns-43784 ?14:42
penguin42AlanBell: Just checking, you do know about CPC don't you?15:22
daftykinswhat about CPC :O15:23
penguin42daftykins: I hate to think how much AlanBell would spend buying all the bits for his Pi from Maplin15:25
daftykinsoic15:26
penguin42daftykins: and how many Maplins he would have to go to to find 32 of something, probably at least 3315:26
bigcalmGood afternoon peeps :)15:26
daftykinshahaha15:26
daftykinswhen i was tempted i just went on amazon15:26
AlanBellpenguin42 yes maplin is just good for seeing components in person15:30
* penguin42 is a bit knackered today after walking around Cam and London yesterday15:34
daftykins:D15:35
daftykinspenguin42: anything special going down there?15:35
penguin42daftykins: Just met up with a friend and had a look around Cam, not had a chance to look around it before15:35
daftykinscool - no i've never been15:35
daftykinsi hear it has a lot more character than most places i've been in England15:36
daftykinsOxford, too15:36
penguin42yes it's quite nice, leafy and lots of bits of architecture15:36
penguin42https://plus.google.com/photos/+DavidAlanGilbert/albums/5947203234131498673 are my pics15:36
penguin42did 3 or 4 of the museums15:37
daftykinsif i lived somewhere like that i'd like to give kiyaking a bit of a go :)15:37
penguin42haha along the Cam?15:38
penguin42but it was a bit of a long day; 6:35am train from Manc to London, bounce off London to Cam, then back to London, bit of a walk around that and then back on 6:40pm train, so go out about 5:30am and get back up about 9:30pm - yawn!15:39
daftykinscor! how long is the London train?15:41
penguin422h10 to London, about 45min to Cambridge, a bit longer in reverse in both directions15:43
daftykinsah not too bad15:43
penguin42nod, pity we're not going to see HS2 in any sane timescale15:43
daftykinsi found it quite amusing that Gatwick -> Hastings is 90 mins, whilst the Brighton -> Gatwick express is 3515:43
daftykinsHS2?15:44
penguin42High Speed 2 - the mythical high speed train network the government wants to build15:44
penguin42should cut Manc-London to 1hr, which frankly isn't that big an issue - but the fact it cuts Manc-other places where you bounce off London down is much more useful15:45
daftykinsah, i had not heard of this15:45
penguin42really? Oh they do keep you isolated there....15:46
ali1234yeah problem with HS2 is it reduces london-manchester by cutting out everywhere else15:46
penguin42ali1234: Well it does have Brum15:47
ali1234london to nottingham is supposedly reduced by half an hour15:47
ali1234but in reality it goes to a different station in the middle of nowhere which is like an hour from nottingham15:47
penguin42daftykins: Then I guess you'll also be unaware of the Big Blue Cock in London - https://plus.google.com/photos/118251468822440261663/albums/5385163491826366161/594721178915788200215:47
penguin42ali1234: Ah, yeh not as useful15:47
ali1234london and manchester are the only two places i ever go15:48
ali1234so HS2 sucks15:48
daftykinspenguin42: it's more me keeping me isolated :) i don't even particularly follow local news, because it's always about Jersey ¬_¬15:48
penguin42ali1234: Are they going to link that new station to the tram system there?15:49
ali1234i doubt it15:49
daftykinspenguin42: hrmm hard to get any scale of said blue avian :D15:49
ali1234it will be a local train service15:49
penguin42daftykins: oh 10s of ft15:49
penguin42daftykins: 472cm apparently according to Wikipedia but it doesn't say in which direction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahn/Cock15:50
daftykins:D15:51
Myrttihmmmmmm ponder www.indiegogo.com/projects/mybells-the-smart-bells/x/542408415:54
MyrttiI was just on Friday cursing the ninja post men15:55
daftykinsare they hit-and-running at your place?15:56
Myrttiwe got a tesco delivery and while I was packing the food away and popped the kettle on the ninjas had been and left a note with "neenerneener, we've got your parcel"15:57
daftykins=/15:57
daftykinsi used to phone in and complain when they did that to me over here15:57
daftykinsthey seem to give you 15 seconds from knocking on the door15:58
Myrttiwell our kettle is loud15:58
daftykinsthen the postie should've heard it :D15:58
Myrttiit's not the first time it happens, but I like the postie so I'm not grumbling too much15:58
Myrttibut a proper doorbell would help15:58
daftykinsah yes15:58
Myrttiindiegogo will be the death of me some day16:00
Myrttihttp://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bond-a-modular-revolution-for-you-to-wear/x/542408416:00
daftykinsthat's interesting16:01
MyrttiI've had moments I've wished something like that would exist so bad16:01
penguin42daftykins: So hmm, given that there are android watches, and the Samsung watch-add on thing, what's the point?16:07
daftykinsnot sure, i tend to have a bit of a dim view of these back-us-to-make-x websites - they must be churning so many more things directly into landfill :(16:09
Myrttiwhat I'm most eager to get in my hands is Beddit which dsample backed16:09
penguin42beddit?16:09
Myrttisleep tracker16:10
Myrttigoes underneath the bedsheets instead of relying on a sensor on wrist or such16:10
penguin42oh ok, that is interesting, since I don't like anything touching my skin16:10
daftykinsi installed one of those sleep monitor programs on my android phone but i've yet to try it out16:12
daftykinsyou leave the phone beside you so it can use the sensors to record your movement and so on16:12
Myrttiyeah, I had one like that for a long time16:12
MyrttiI always forgot to put it on16:13
daftykins:D16:13
Myrttibesides I often play podcasts with my phone and have a sleep timer that I can extend by shaking the phone16:14
Myrttidoing that messes with the sleep monitor programs16:14
daftykinsah16:15
daftykinsmy friends family are all into sleeping to music/something16:15
daftykinsi can't deal with it personally - silence \o/16:15
MyrttiI've learnt to listen to stuff to cover the noises of a highrise apartment block plumbing and snoring ;-)16:16
Myrttibesides bed is the only place I have patience to listen to stuff16:17
daftykinsyeah i struggle with that medium16:18
daftykinsaudio only - i can't just sit and focus :D16:18
daftykinsbut then trying to do other things at once invariably leads to missing something16:18
daftykinsheh some people just went past and tried my door... "oops wrong one"16:19
Myrttioh I should get ready for tonights thai buffet16:20
daftykinsmmm thai food16:20
* DJones Decides never to support anybody who's using a Win 8 machine, it takes 8 hours from 1st switch on to get it up-to-date and thats before installing useful software like LibreOffice, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Dropbox etc16:52
ali1234how is that different to any version of windows?16:55
DJonesIts not, but its the 1st time I've come across Win 8, that just seems longer16:56
dogmatic69got a couple chickens today \o/16:56
penguin42this isn't AlanBell's fault is it?16:57
dogmatic69nope :D16:57
dogmatic69just want some fresh eggs16:57
dogmatic69penguin42: getting a 'chicken cam' might be though...16:59

GentileBen"UPDATE: Ubuntu Causes Girl To Drop Out of College "18:55
GentileBen"She says Linux fans started harassing her on Facebook"18:57
GentileBenShame on you all!18:57
ali1234hah18:58
ali1234is that for real?18:58
directhexsounds like the linux community to me19:04
ali1234yeah19:04
ali1234well19:04
ali1234The fact that the woman quit "not one but two semesters of college  because things didn't 'just work' tells me that there is more to this  story than just Ubuntu," Slashdot blogger Mhall119 added. "Others will  no doubt go on about how all of her 'problems' weren't actually problems  with Ubuntu, but a lack of understanding on her part," Mhall119 told  LinuxInsider.19:05
ali1234i just can't understand why i never heard about this back when it happened19:07
directhexi heard it & was unsurprised by it19:07
ali1234i'm guessing the usual suspects tried to spin it as "look at how the linux community hates women"19:08
ali1234rather than the far more accurate "look at how the linux community hates idiots"19:09
GentileBenlol ali123419:11
GentileBenShe's an idiot for not knowing Ubuntu is terrible compared to Windows.19:11
GentileBenI'm guessing she needed MS Office and didn't want to waste her time with Wine.19:11
ali1234back in 2009 it actually was19:12
GentileBenIt's not that the Linux and wider FOSS community hate women - it's just that almost all the educated female programmers go into, you know, well-paying jobs...19:12
GentileBenali1234, nobody admitted that in 2009.19:13
GentileBenIn 2017 you'll be saying, "Back in 2013 it actually was."19:13
ali1234i did19:13
ali1234horses for courses man19:13
GentileBenYou can lead a horse to water but you can't make him play checkers.19:14
ali1234anything which i would recognise as linux will never be suitable for the average consumer19:14
GentileBenYou don't recognise Android as Linux?19:14
ali1234depends on context19:14
GentileBenLinux's best bet to make some progress on the desktop is x86 Android.19:14
GentileBenAnd all it took was a corporate behemoth like Google....that's the story of FOSS right there.19:15
ali1234the bottom line is i don't care if linux ever becomes popular. actually, i would rather it didn't19:15
GentileBenIt's almost always terrible unless it has a giant corporate benefactor.19:15
GentileBenThe likes of Intel and IBM are what make Linux strong, not the coder in the basement.19:15
GentileBenali1234, Android is already the world's most popular user-facing operating system.19:16
ali1234so?19:16
GentileBenSo? The Linux Foundation should pour all their resources into Android x86.19:16
ali1234yeah i really couldn't care less about the LF either19:16
GentileBenWow, you really aren't a Linux fan at all.19:17
ali1234they can do whatever they like, it's their money19:17
ali1234as can canonical and google19:17
GentileBenWould you go hunting with Mark Shuttleworth?19:17
GentileBenLet's say he joins this channel and personally asks you to hunt elephants with him. Would you?19:17
ali1234do we eat the elephants after?19:17
GentileBenYes, but there's too much meat so you parcel it up and send it to one of Oprah's schools.19:18
ali1234then yes19:18
GentileBenYou're forgetting the real reason behind the hunt: so Shuttleworth can commission a solid ivory Ubuntu phone just for him.19:19
ali1234what's wrong with that?19:19
GentileBenIf a style icon like Mark Shuttleworth is seen with a solid ivory phone, every African child will want one.19:19
ali1234i doubt that19:19
GentileBenThe elephant population would dwindle as a result.19:19
ali1234but on the other hand, when am i ever going to get an opportunity like that again?19:25
GentileBenTrue.19:45
GentileBenOk, but what if you had to choose between an elephant hunting tour with Mark Shuttleworth, a lion hunting tour with Andy Rubin, or a tiger hunting tour with RMS?19:46
* penguin42 is sure Eric Raymond would be in there somewhere19:47
GentileBenI think I'd prefer Andy Rubin's company, but I suspect RMS would knock the tigers out with his feet smell.19:47
GentileBenEric Raymond would be on the crocodile hunting tour, penguin42.19:47
MartijnVdSHe's still online?!19:51
directhexandroid development is not open, and that's not healthy for linux19:52
GentileBenTrue. People don't seem to be able to differentiate between open source and open development.19:54
ali1234yeah that's something i have often complained about too19:54
GentileBenWhy? Android is easily the best consumer Linux implementation.19:54
GentileBenChrome OS does suck, however.19:54
ali1234sure19:54
GentileBenI'm still not sure why they didn't just put Android on their "Chromebooks".19:55
directhexdifferent internal teams19:55
ali1234but a) i personally have no use for consumer linux and b) i think open source is more important than open development19:55
directhexandroid is already bad for linux19:55
GentileBenali1234, I agree with the latter.19:55
directhexe.g. many devices have android drivers, not linux drivers19:55
directhexwhich is why many non-android mobile platforms use an android kernel, not a linux kernel19:56
GentileBendirecthex, because it shows how stable, fully-featured and popular Linux can be when it isn't managed by a bunch of warring nerds who can't manage a project to save their lives?19:56
penguin42ali1234: I'm not sure - non-open development causes some problems; it doesn't trap a lot of the screw ups before they happen, and it seems to make me have less choice about what I get19:56
penguin42ali1234: But yes in principal if it's open source there is a chance to fix it19:56
GentileBenpenguin42, the most important thing is that the code can be audited by anybody.19:56
ali1234consumer linux is rarely what i would describe as "fully-featured"19:56
GentileBenThat's all that matters...not that some dumbass who thinks he's king can contribute to the project.19:56
penguin42GentileBen: But only when it's too late if it's not openly developed19:56
directhexGentileBen, nothing to do with those factors, everything to do with silicon vendors only caring about paying customers - if htc or samsung or sony are paying for support for their phones, they support the phone's kernel19:56
ali1234in fact selling anything to consumers usually means removing features so as not to confuse them19:57
directhexwhich is needlessly not linux compatible19:57
GentileBenali1234, Android is fully-featured to the point where Apple are actively stealing features.19:57
GentileBenActually Microsoft make more money from Android than Google do (directly, anyway).19:57
GentileBenMS convinced the handset makers that they need to pay a fee per handset sold, due to invisible patents.19:57
ali1234that's nice for consumers but i am not a consumer19:57
GentileBendirecthex, Google have begun to address that issue anyway.19:58
GentileBenWhat can be recognised as "Android" is being forked and put into proprietary Google apps on the Play Store.19:58
daftykinscrikey, Foxconn employees sabotaging Playstation 4's in protest, hundreds of consoles received DOA19:59
ali1234as long as these companies follow the licenses i don't care what they do19:59
GentileBenNext up: the gallery is being moved into Play, the keyboard has already, and so has Search and the new Launcher (though it's inactive in non-N5 devices).19:59
GentileBendaftykins, hundreds...haven't they shipped millions?19:59
GentileBenEvery console can be traced back to the production line. Correlate shifts and you can start sacking people!! ^_^20:00
ali1234i love android, and i do recognise it as linux, but i would never consider replacing my desktop with an android system because it has literally none of the features that i need from a desktop OS20:00
directhex"sacking"20:00
directhexvia the exit on the roof20:00
brobostigondr who, sounds of the drums, bbc3, :)20:00
GentileBenali1234, I guess that means you use Windows?20:00
ali1234why would i use a consumer OS like windows?20:00
directhexOS hipsters20:00
directhexwe all use plan9, yes?20:00
GentileBenI guess that means you use Solaris?20:00
ali1234i have used solaris in the past20:01
directhexi'm an experienced solaris sysadmin20:01
ali1234i would take it over windows or apple20:01
directhexsolaris is garbage by idiots20:01
daftykinsGentileBen: ok so i'm unaware on exact numbers, so ignore that part.20:01
directhexit's moronic by default. every potentially stupid choice is there and stupid and default20:01
daftykinsGentileBen: "nths arriving DOA" :D20:01
directhexe.g. /bin/sh as default interactive shell20:02
ali1234wait, my bad, i was thinking of irix20:02
penguin42directhex: talking of Solaris....20:02
ali1234though i'd still probaby take solaris over windows20:02
MartijnVdSali1234: at least it's not aix20:02
penguin42directhex: In Manc Picadilly I saw a PC running exceed showing train track info, whatever it was running was Openlook widgetry20:02
directhexi think this channel appears to be growing an excess of miserable gits, beyond our usual pet miserable git ali123420:03
MartijnVdSpenguin42: the train track info screens in .nl all run some embedded Windows.. which crashes several times/year20:03
ali1234directhex: ha! pot is calling the kettle black...20:03
MartijnVdS(every time the XML they receive over GPRS over GSM-R is corrupt/times out)20:03
penguin42MartijnVdS: These aren't ones that users normally see, I was just there very early and the central info booth was closed, but they'd turned their screens around for other staff to see20:03
directhexi'm more of a dark grey20:03
brobostigonoh yes, i have seen several good pictures of such fails MartijnVdS20:04
daftykinsa presentation PC in my supermarket always has a dialogue up saying there's a logmein update available20:05
brobostigonlol20:06
GentileBenMartijnVdS is just miserable because Holland drew with Japan, directhex.20:15
GentileBen2-0 up but ended 2-2.20:15
GentileBenAlmost as gutted as bashrc was when Alexis Sanchez scored his second.20:16
MartijnVdSdaftykins: I came into an electronics store once at opening time, and they couldn't help me, because their system was running an update, for >1 hour. On a week day.20:28
daftykins=]20:30
penguin42was it a Tuesday......20:30
daftykinstheir "POS" system tee-hee20:30
MartijnVdSpenguin42: they never could get the hang of tuesdays?20:31
MartijnVdSpenguin42: in the end, they placed an order in their web shop, paid using the company card, and gave me the camera + lens 8-)20:31
brobostigonlol20:31
penguin42haha20:31
MartijnVdS(and they did the card stuff manually for me)20:31

brobostigonthe best was marvin :)20:38
ali1234marvin was alan rickman right?20:39
penguin42brobostigon: I only have the CDs for the original two series, I have heard the later ones but didn't think as much of them20:39
MartijnVdSali1234: voice, yes.20:39
* popey went to see the live radio show last year20:39
ali1234of course20:39

penguin42brobostigon: One odd thing was that I never heard the 'christmas special' that linked the two series for many many years after hearing the original radio series - that did confuse things a little20:40
brobostigonpenguin42: agreed, alittle.20:41
popeymissed that20:41

ali1234i think i cracked the problem of packaging raceworld: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6434137/20:52
ali1234Depends:libstdc++6,libfreetype6,libx11-6,libxt6,libxaw7,libxcb1,libsm6,libice6,libxext6,libxmu6,libxpm4,libxau6,libxdmcp620:54
penguin42ali1234: Maybe try dpkg-depcheck20:56
ali1234isn;t that only useful for build dependencies?20:57
ali1234it lies anyway20:58
penguin42it does?20:58
ali1234lists packages that i'm shipping a local version of20:58
ali1234like zlib, which is compiled in20:58
penguin42you sure it's using the compiled in version?20:59
ali1234maybe not20:59
ali1234freetype is meant to be built in too21:00
ali1234hmm... it has the wrong so name21:00
directhexum... i am confuse21:06
directhexdh_shlibdeps generates the list of linked libraries, you Depends: ${shlib:Depends} in debian/control to use it21:06
directhexpointless binary dependencies are due to the lack of --as-needed flag to ld21:06
directhexunlike with .net assemblies, .so libraries will include everything you link to, whether a symbol is really used/needed or not21:06
directhexusing ldd for this will not account for private versions21:07
directhexsince it's a really really dumb way to do it21:07
ali1234`Depends' field, invalid package name `${shlib': must start with an alphanumeric character21:08
directhexok, what the $expletive are you *doing* here?21:08
ali1234making a binary deb21:10
ali1234the 'grep usr' accounts for private libraries, since they aren't in usr, they're in ./lib which is set in RPATH21:11
directhexwhy are you badly reinventing a hundredth of debhelper?21:11
ali1234because literally none of the debian package tools have proper documentation21:11
ali1234as a result it's impossible to know what they do, or what they are supposed to do21:12
directhexchrist21:12
directhexok, just...21:12
directhexread https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging21:13
ali1234i have done21:14
ali1234it's not relevant to binary debs21:14
directhexit really is21:15
ali1234no it isn't. there is no upstream source.21:15
directhexthe only difference when your source is binaries is you have an empty override_dh_make: rule21:15
directhexthat's the ONLY difference. you skip the build step.21:15
ali1234this simply produces a lot of files which need to be maintained, but do nothing21:16
directhex... quite21:17
directhexare you calling "ar" by hand to generate the .deb too?21:20
ali1234no, i just dpkg-deb -b21:21
directhexthe most glaring technical issue with the 9 lines of "packaging" you've shared is it doesn't account for versioning21:23
directhexfor example, your package will not work with libfreetype 6 <2.4.0, but your dependencies would be satisfied21:24
directhexthese details are encoded in .shlibs files in /var/lib/dpkg/info21:24
directhexwhich are parsed when dh_shlibdeps generates the dependencies of the packaged binaries21:24
directhexor libx11-6 < 2:1.6.021:25
ali1234how do you know it wouldn't work?21:26
directhexyou can add symbols between versions of a library without changing the soname. you aren't scanning for symbol use to determine *precise* requirements, and you aren't using shlibs to determine presumed package-maintainer-says-abi-is-bumped requirements21:28
directhexyou're just saying "herp derp these libs have the same filename! :D"21:28
ali1234package name, but yes21:28
mindlesstabooCan someone help me please? i am experiencing some problems with ubuntu21:36
mindlesstabooBasically a few of my Fn keys wont release, after i press this key for example it is the volume with Fn key, it goes all the way up or down and the keyboard locks.21:37
mindlesstabooI think this may be linked to the file 60-keyboard.hwdm21:39
mindlesstaboo60-keyboard.hwdb*21:39
mindlesstabooAnyone at all?21:44
