shaunoyou're a furry?00:19
daftykinsalways had my suspicions00:20
shaunoI'm just surprised - it'd be the most normal thing about him00:21
diddledan:-)00:21
shaunoI've only just figured out that 'zero cool', sickboy and sherlock from elementary are the same person.  "mind blown" as the internet goes00:22
ali1234johnny lee miller?00:22
shaunoyeah00:22
ali1234remember back in the day when we didn't know what furry was, and http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Amy_the_Squirrel was just  cartoon mascot for the amiga?00:23
ali1234we were so innocent back then00:24
shaunoI'm not sure I can click on 'wikifur'.00:24
ali1234don't worry, there are no pictures00:24
shaunoah.00:25
daftykinsso some girl just squatted on my doorstep00:25
daftykinsi open the door as i heard movement00:25
daftykinsher bf comes back up, apologises and gives me £1000:26
daftykins\o/00:26
diddledanlmao00:26
shaunoso this is why ireland forbids alcohol on good friday?00:26
daftykinsdo they?00:26
shaunoyup00:26
diddledanbut it's turdsday until I wake up in the morning/afternoon00:26
shaunoI have a mediocre "squatting" story00:27
shaunothe day before I moved to the US, I went out on the town with .. well, everyone.  on the way home I relieved myself somewhere I probably shouldn't have00:27
daftykinswait, so IT WAS YOU!00:28
shaunomr "copper" stands right beside me while I finish up, and introduces himself.  he gets my number (schawing!) and we go about our ways00:28
daftykinsodd way of dating sir00:28
daftykins;)00:28
shauno24 hours later I'm on Delta out of heathrow, and forget all about it00:28
diddledanshauno: there's a similar story about one of the UK's most wanted criminals00:29
shaunoeventually daddy#2 shows up to sell the house we move out of, and finds the mail.  I have a notice to appear, a summons, a summary judgement on failure to appear ..00:29
diddledanwe don't get much crime these days so peeing in the street is a somewhat of the most impressive of crimes00:29
shaunoand to cap it off, it turns out the doorstep belongs to an ex00:30
diddledanlol00:30
daftykinsLOL00:30
daftykinsshauno: subconsciously you knew you had to do your business RIGHT there00:30
shaunopossibly the strangest conversation ever was phoning transatlantic to explain to cumbria cty courts why I wasn't going to be appearing any time soon00:31
daftykinsOI AM SHEEEEER-NO, OI AIN'T COMIN'00:32
shaunomostly just a silly story, until I moved back to europe.  and the first time I visited the UK, I was genuinely nervous that the border were going to stop me because I had failure to appear against my name00:32
ali1234happened to a friend of mine... for failure to pay TV license though00:34
diddledanshauno: you mean we actually let you back in?00:35
daftykinsso me and the cat are playing charades, the clue is 'an activity'00:35

shaunomultiple times :)00:36
daftykinsi've already guessed rowing00:36
daftykinsand falling down a well00:36
shaunoprostrate?  your cat may be buddhist00:36
daftykinsi feel silly, i'm unfamiliar with that word00:37
shauno1) lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downwards.00:38
diddledanisn't that in a dude's bum?00:38
shauno" especially in reverence or submission."00:38
shaunothat's prostate.  the missing R is incredibly important00:38
shauno(see also: important vs impotent)00:39
daftykinslol.00:40
shaunoeg, http://nickyloh.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Tibet0035.jpg   they're wearing 'shoes' on their hands because the ascend the entire moutain in this position00:41
daftykinswellity wellity00:41
shaunostrange strange day.  I'm so glad I took tomorrow off (it's bring your child to work day.  I had to)00:44
daftykinsah yes :D00:44
daftykinsi'm off to England in the afternoon00:45
daftykinsin fact i have a number of things to get sorted before i go, so i should really go to sleep right now00:45
shaunoI found out today that my pay raise this year is 0%, because I had a disciplinary for being late too often00:45
daftykins:/00:45
daftykinsare we talking 5 minutes here and there?00:45
shaunodespite the fact I kicked ass this year.  I've brought in some huge clients.  apple. microsoft, ericson, walmart, etc00:46
shauno5 minutes way too often, up to an hour on exactly the wrong day, which set it off00:46
daftykins:(00:47
daftykinslegit reason?00:47
shaunoI've been told I can appeal it, but I'm torn between that, and acting like a 12yo and flipping the bird00:47
shaunono legit reason.  I'm an insomniac.  have been as long as I remember.  6am shifts are difficult00:48
daftykinsdamn yeah :S00:48
daftykinsseems to be us three nightowls meet quite often00:49
daftykinsi'm tempted to quote Macbeth i think it is by asking, since i'll be away for the weekend, "when shall we three meet again?" :D00:49
shaunojust a weird one because I've had an abnormally strong year00:49
daftykinsdoes seem like they should be lenient on such minor transgressions given that00:49
daftykinsespecially being so... school like about it00:50
daftykinshave you spoken one on one with whoever's the decider?00:50
shaunoI'm still thinking about that.  I only found out today00:50
daftykinsah00:51
daftykinsguess it depends on your relationship with them if it's worth a try or not00:51
shaunothe 'problem' is our manager's manager.  it's his training I was quite (almost an hour) late for.00:51
daftykinsdoh00:51
shaunoand ... he's german.  'late' doesn't translate into german00:51
daftykinshehe00:51
diddledanI don't think they have an equivalent word00:52
jpdsOh, they do.00:52
diddledanjpds: insults aren't quite the same00:52
shauno'dead' is probably the equivalent.  if you think about it, 'late' and 'late and synomnym in english00:52
jpds"absolute Wahnsinn".00:53
shaunoit's just a weird situation.  especially since they already took 1/5th of my bonus for the same reason.  and without tooting my own horn too much, I am the alpha nerd on the team00:54
daftykins:D00:55
daftykinsshauno: hope it works out00:55
daftykinsright i really have to go, have a good easter all \o00:56
diddledannn00:56
shaunohave a fun trip :)00:57

Myrttiah, I think I've found one08:21
TheProphet[S]Hi all08:59
TheProphet[S]I am trying to connect to my wireless network from recovery, but I can't get Dhcp to work. dhclient wlan0 - v just ends with no dhcpoffers received, no working leases in persistent database -  sleeping09:02
TheProphet[S]Iwconfig shows I am connected to the network but there's no Internet connection09:08
TheProphet[S]Has anyone got any idea what the problem could be? I need the Internet to fix the installation09:13
dwatkinsTheProphet[S]: does "iwconfig list" show the SSID of your access point?09:16
TheProphet[S]iwconfig wlan0 does yes09:18
TheProphet[S]dawkins: I can see the correct ssid and encryption key09:19
dwatkinsI guess you could set the IP address manually, but it should be provided by the local DHCP server (assuming it's running etc.)09:19
dwatkinsiirc, the key needs to be the hex equivalent of the passphrase, but I could be wrong about that09:21
TheProphet[S]Trying to ping Google Dns 8.8.8.8 it says host unreachable09:21
dwatkinshave you manually configured your IP address, TheProphet[S]?09:21
TheProphet[S]No I haven't09:21
dwatkinsif you know the network range, you could set the IP address by hand, but I suspect it's not connected successfully to your wifi because of the type of security09:22
dwatkinsyou might also have to stop networkmanager09:23
AndChat|213761Sorry I'm back09:23
TheProphet[S]Hey dwatkins sorry I'm back now09:27
TheProphet[S]I should be able to ping an ip if I'm connected to the network right?09:28
dwatkinsthat depends on many things, TheProphet[S] - try pinging a local address first, such as your router09:28
dvrrHi  good morning everyone09:29
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.09:31
TheProphet[S]Morning09:33
TheProphet[S]dwatkins even my router is unreachable sorry09:34
TheProphet[S]I thought I did things properly but it can't be09:35
TheProphet[S]I'm gonna try it again09:35
TheProphet[S]From recovery mode dropped to root shell and logged in as my user09:38
TheProphet[S]Remounted root fs to rw09:39
TheProphet[S]Ifconfig wlan0 up and iwconfig wlan0 essid... key... Done09:42
TheProphet[S]It's not just "key" right? I'm forgetting something09:44
dwatkinsit depends on the format of key you're using09:45
dwatkinsthis might help, TheProphet[S] - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14119446/iwconfig-connect-network-via-wifi-on-terminal09:46
TheProphet[S]Thanks dwatkins I was reading that and it seems I need to use wpa-supplicant09:47
dvrrhow to redirect all pages (website) to maintenance page10:08

ahayzen_Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and it wants to remove oxideqt-codecs is this ok to be removed?13:34
brobostigon!oxideqt-codecs13:35
brobostigon!info oxideqt-codecs13:36
lubotu3Package oxideqt-codecs does not exist in saucy13:36
ahayzen_brobostigon, i think it has come down with the new QML web browser that is installed by default?13:37
brobostigonwhich ubuntu version are you using?13:37
ahayzen_brobostigon, trusty13:37
brobostigon!info oxideqt-codecs trusty13:37
lubotu3oxideqt-codecs (source: oxide-qt): Web browser engine library for Qt (codecs). In component main, is extra. Version 1.0.0~bzr501-0ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 493 kB, installed size 2323 kB13:37
brobostigonnominally answers the question.13:38
ahayzen_brobostigon, bit strange on a clean image u can't install ubuntu-restricted-extras without breaking the new web browser that is used for the webapps?13:39
ahayzen_brobostigon, unless one of the packages in the restricted-extras will replace it? i see it wants to install things like oxideqt-codecs-extra13:40
brobostigonthat would be a fair presumption.13:40
ahayzen_brobostigon, this is what it wants to do http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7275721/13:41
ahayzen_it just looks much worse in USC when that dialog appears stating it is going to remove things lol13:42
ahayzen_brobostigon, i'll take a punt and see what happens thanks for ur help13:43
brobostigonthose nominally look like the right packages.13:43
