[00:19] <shauno> you're a furry?
[00:20] <daftykins> always had my suspicions
[00:21] <shauno> I'm just surprised - it'd be the most normal thing about him
[00:21] <diddledan> :-)
[00:22] <shauno> I've only just figured out that 'zero cool', sickboy and sherlock from elementary are the same person.  "mind blown" as the internet goes
[00:22] <ali1234> johnny lee miller?
[00:22] <shauno> yeah
[00:23] <ali1234> remember 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?
[00:24] <ali1234> we were so innocent back then
[00:24] <shauno> I'm not sure I can click on 'wikifur'.
[00:24] <ali1234> don't worry, there are no pictures
[00:25] <shauno> ah.
[00:25] <daftykins> so some girl just squatted on my doorstep
[00:25] <daftykins> i open the door as i heard movement
[00:26] <daftykins> her bf comes back up, apologises and gives me £10
[00:26] <daftykins> \o/
[00:26] <diddledan> lmao
[00:26] <shauno> so this is why ireland forbids alcohol on good friday?
[00:26] <daftykins> do they?
[00:26] <shauno> yup
[00:26] <diddledan> but it's turdsday until I wake up in the morning/afternoon
[00:27] <shauno> I have a mediocre "squatting" story
[00:27] <shauno> the 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 have
[00:28] <daftykins> wait, so IT WAS YOU!
[00:28] <shauno> mr "copper" stands right beside me while I finish up, and introduces himself.  he gets my number (schawing!) and we go about our ways
[00:28] <daftykins> odd way of dating sir
[00:28] <daftykins> ;)
[00:28] <shauno> 24 hours later I'm on Delta out of heathrow, and forget all about it
[00:29] <diddledan> shauno: there's a similar story about one of the UK's most wanted criminals
[00:29] <shauno> eventually 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] <diddledan> we don't get much crime these days so peeing in the street is a somewhat of the most impressive of crimes
[00:30] <shauno> and to cap it off, it turns out the doorstep belongs to an ex
[00:30] <diddledan> lol
[00:30] <daftykins> LOL
[00:30] <daftykins> shauno: subconsciously you knew you had to do your business RIGHT there
[00:31] <shauno> possibly the strangest conversation ever was phoning transatlantic to explain to cumbria cty courts why I wasn't going to be appearing any time soon
[00:32] <daftykins> OI AM SHEEEEER-NO, OI AIN'T COMIN'
[00:32] <shauno> mostly 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 name
[00:34] <ali1234> happened to a friend of mine... for failure to pay TV license though
[00:35] <diddledan> shauno: you mean we actually let you back in?
[00:35] <daftykins> so me and the cat are playing charades, the clue is 'an activity'
[00:35] <daftykins> https://www.dropbox.com/s/x3h0sdkah33ahuo/IMG_20140418_013334.jpg
[00:36] <shauno> multiple times :)
[00:36] <daftykins> i've already guessed rowing
[00:36] <daftykins> and falling down a well
[00:36] <shauno> prostrate?  your cat may be buddhist
[00:37] <daftykins> i feel silly, i'm unfamiliar with that word
[00:38] <shauno> 1) lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downwards.
[00:38] <diddledan> isn't that in a dude's bum?
[00:38] <shauno> " especially in reverence or submission."
[00:38] <shauno> that's prostate.  the missing R is incredibly important
[00:39] <shauno> (see also: important vs impotent)
[00:40] <daftykins> lol.
[00:41] <shauno> eg, 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 position
[00:41] <daftykins> wellity wellity
[00:44] <shauno> strange strange day.  I'm so glad I took tomorrow off (it's bring your child to work day.  I had to)
[00:44] <daftykins> ah yes :D
[00:45] <daftykins> i'm off to England in the afternoon
[00:45] <daftykins> in fact i have a number of things to get sorted before i go, so i should really go to sleep right now
[00:45] <shauno> I found out today that my pay raise this year is 0%, because I had a disciplinary for being late too often
[00:45] <daftykins> :/
[00:45] <daftykins> are we talking 5 minutes here and there?
[00:46] <shauno> despite the fact I kicked ass this year.  I've brought in some huge clients.  apple. microsoft, ericson, walmart, etc
[00:46] <shauno> 5 minutes way too often, up to an hour on exactly the wrong day, which set it off
[00:47] <daftykins> :(
[00:47] <daftykins> legit reason?
[00:47] <shauno> I've been told I can appeal it, but I'm torn between that, and acting like a 12yo and flipping the bird
[00:48] <shauno> no legit reason.  I'm an insomniac.  have been as long as I remember.  6am shifts are difficult
[00:48] <daftykins> damn yeah :S
[00:49] <daftykins> seems to be us three nightowls meet quite often
[00:49] <daftykins> i'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?" :D
[00:49] <shauno> just a weird one because I've had an abnormally strong year
[00:49] <daftykins> does seem like they should be lenient on such minor transgressions given that
[00:50] <daftykins> especially being so... school like about it
[00:50] <daftykins> have you spoken one on one with whoever's the decider?
[00:50] <shauno> I'm still thinking about that.  I only found out today
[00:51] <daftykins> ah
[00:51] <daftykins> guess it depends on your relationship with them if it's worth a try or not
[00:51] <shauno> the 'problem' is our manager's manager.  it's his training I was quite (almost an hour) late for.
[00:51] <daftykins> doh
[00:51] <shauno> and ... he's german.  'late' doesn't translate into german
[00:51] <daftykins> hehe
[00:52] <diddledan> I don't think they have an equivalent word
[00:52] <jpds> Oh, they do.
[00:52] <diddledan> jpds: insults aren't quite the same
[00:52] <shauno> 'dead' is probably the equivalent.  if you think about it, 'late' and 'late and synomnym in english
[00:53] <jpds> "absolute Wahnsinn".
[00:54] <shauno> it'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 team
[00:55] <daftykins> :D
[00:55] <daftykins> shauno: hope it works out
[00:56] <daftykins> right i really have to go, have a good easter all \o
[00:56] <diddledan> nn
[00:57] <shauno> have a fun trip :)
[00:58] <daftykins> ty ^_^
[01:00] <popey> daftykins: safe travells
[05:26] <mapps> Wwe ae tottenham
[05:26] <mapps> :D
[05:26] <mapps> in Islington atm
[08:16] <Myrtti> morning and top of the day to you
[08:17] <mapps> morning
[08:18] <Myrtti> I'm trying to find out where can I find a pci express wifi card that's half height and supported by Linux...
[08:21] <Myrtti> ah, I think I've found one
[08:59] <TheProphet[S]> Hi all
[09:02] <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 -  sleeping
[09:08] <TheProphet[S]> Iwconfig shows I am connected to the network but there's no Internet connection
[09:13] <TheProphet[S]> Has anyone got any idea what the problem could be? I need the Internet to fix the installation
[09:16] <dwatkins> TheProphet[S]: does "iwconfig list" show the SSID of your access point?
[09:18] <TheProphet[S]> iwconfig wlan0 does yes
[09:19] <TheProphet[S]> dawkins: I can see the correct ssid and encryption key
[09:19] <dwatkins> I guess you could set the IP address manually, but it should be provided by the local DHCP server (assuming it's running etc.)
[09:21] <dwatkins> iirc, the key needs to be the hex equivalent of the passphrase, but I could be wrong about that
[09:21] <TheProphet[S]> Trying to ping Google Dns 8.8.8.8 it says host unreachable
[09:21] <dwatkins> have you manually configured your IP address, TheProphet[S]?
[09:21] <TheProphet[S]> No I haven't
[09:22] <dwatkins> if 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 security
[09:23] <dwatkins> you might also have to stop networkmanager
[09:23] <AndChat|213761> Sorry I'm back
[09:27] <TheProphet[S]> Hey dwatkins sorry I'm back now
[09:28] <TheProphet[S]> I should be able to ping an ip if I'm connected to the network right?
[09:28] <dwatkins> that depends on many things, TheProphet[S] - try pinging a local address first, such as your router
[09:29] <dvrr> Hi  good morning everyone
[09:31] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:33] <TheProphet[S]> Morning
[09:34] <TheProphet[S]> dwatkins even my router is unreachable sorry
[09:35] <TheProphet[S]> I thought I did things properly but it can't be
[09:35] <TheProphet[S]> I'm gonna try it again
[09:38] <TheProphet[S]> From recovery mode dropped to root shell and logged in as my user
[09:39] <TheProphet[S]> Remounted root fs to rw
[09:42] <TheProphet[S]> Ifconfig wlan0 up and iwconfig wlan0 essid... key... Done
[09:44] <TheProphet[S]> It's not just "key" right? I'm forgetting something
[09:45] <dwatkins> it depends on the format of key you're using
[09:46] <dwatkins> this might help, TheProphet[S] - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14119446/iwconfig-connect-network-via-wifi-on-terminal
[09:47] <TheProphet[S]> Thanks dwatkins I was reading that and it seems I need to use wpa-supplicant
[10:08] <dvrr> how to redirect all pages (website) to maintenance page
[10:15] <TheProphet[S]> dwatkins I managed to get it to work with wpa_supplicant thanks for your help
[12:23] <brobostigon> goo.gl/J6pGU5  :)
[12:27] <MartijnVdS> brobostigon: I think I saw that one on Fidonet once in the 90s :P
[12:27] <brobostigon> ah, :)
[12:57] <MooDoo> howdy all
[12:58] <brobostigon> hi MooDoo
[13:06] <MooDoo> how are you brobostigon ?
[13:06] <brobostigon> not bad, and you MooDoo ?
[13:07] <MooDoo> yeah ok thanks, just made sure all machines were trusty, everything fine.
[13:08] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[13:08]  * bigcalm hugs nvidia
[13:08] <MooDoo> howdy bigcalm
[13:08] <brobostigon> :)
[13:34] <ahayzen_> Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and it wants to remove oxideqt-codecs is this ok to be removed?
[13:35] <brobostigon> !oxideqt-codecs
[13:36] <brobostigon> !info oxideqt-codecs
[13:37] <ahayzen_> brobostigon, i think it has come down with the new QML web browser that is installed by default?
[13:37] <brobostigon> which ubuntu version are you using?
[13:37] <ahayzen_> brobostigon, trusty
[13:37] <brobostigon> !info oxideqt-codecs trusty
[13:38] <brobostigon> nominally answers the question.
[13:39] <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?
[13:40] <ahayzen_> brobostigon, unless one of the packages in the restricted-extras will replace it? i see it wants to install things like oxideqt-codecs-extra
[13:40] <brobostigon> that would be a fair presumption.
[13:41] <ahayzen_> brobostigon, this is what it wants to do http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7275721/
[13:42] <ahayzen_> it just looks much worse in USC when that dialog appears stating it is going to remove things lol
[13:43] <ahayzen_> brobostigon, i'll take a punt and see what happens thanks for ur help
[13:43] <brobostigon> those nominally look like the right packages.
[15:27] <NET||abuse> Hi guys, trying to use preseed to build an ubuntu vm, but can't get past "Select your location" automatically..
[15:29] <NET||abuse> anyone know what d-i option in preseed is needed, or boot_command option is needed?
[15:32] <NET||abuse> i've tried this in the boot command        keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard-configuration/layout=uk keyboard-configuration/variant=uk console-setup/ask_detect=false
[15:51] <NET||abuse> figured out en_UK is not locale, only language, en_GB is locale... duh
