| knightwise | men are surprisingly naive when most of there blood is below their belt | 06:50 |
| shauno | the age old problem. two brains, and only enough blood to run one at a time | 06:51 |
| knightwise | indeed | 06:52 |
| knightwise | hey funkyHat | 06:52 |
| mapps | im not a mug i just say | 06:52 |
| mapps | 'no got no money; | 06:52 |
| mapps | suddenly they dont like me | 06:53 |
| mapps | :D | 06:53 |
| knightwise | hahah | 06:54 |
| knightwise | damn :) | 06:59 |
| knightwise | muscle memory getting in the way . i keep pressing the command key instead of the control key | 06:59 |
| mapps | heh | 07:00 |
| knightwise | I need to switch them around in the compiz meny | 07:01 |
| knightwise | menu | 07:01 |
| knightwise | I'm gonna get a new laptop for my company (i just started a business) and I think i'm gonna go for a macbook air 11.6 inch ( I7, 8gb, 500gigSSD) that I can use to dual boot OSX and ubuntu | 07:02 |
| knightwise | So i'm using my (old) macbook pro as a training ground to get everything setup | 07:03 |
| mapps | macs are nice | 07:04 |
| knightwise | true | 07:06 |
| knightwise | The age of my macbook is starting to show in the fact that it has a resolution of 1280 by 800 on a 13.3 inch screen | 07:06 |
| knightwise | thats a little on the low side | 07:06 |
| shauno | the current (non-retina) 13" is exactly the same | 07:07 |
| knightwise | hey shauno | 07:07 |
| shauno | morning | 07:07 |
| knightwise | I am waiting untill the WWDC is over next week to make sure they are NOT planning a retina version of the 11.6 inch | 07:08 |
| knightwise | if they don't i'm ordering the current one. | 07:08 |
| knightwise | but i'll be going for a 11.6 inch | 07:08 |
| knightwise | that size is just too damn handy | 07:08 |
| knightwise | btw , have any of you tried conky-manager ? | 07:17 |

| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:52 |
| mapps | hey all | 11:41 |
| * SuperEngineer is upgrading lubuntu on netbook from 12.04 to 14.04... upgrade by painfully slow upgrade | 13:15 | |
| * SuperEngineer taps fingers impatiently | 13:15 | |
| penguin42 | netbooks don't have the fastest disks | 13:16 |
| SuperEngineer | Pendulum: nor the fastest processors... the download was faster than the [ongoing] configuring | 13:17 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: ^ | 13:17 |
| penguin42 | nod | 13:17 |
| SuperEngineer | [but it is fun having 3 different "buntus": 12.04 ubuntu on desktop; 12.04 xubuntu on HP mini [used as a docs machine for work] [with steam for boring sorfware reloads; lubuntu on netbook... keeps one "occupied" | 13:23 |
| SuperEngineer | I was once asked how I knew about xbuntu when I claimed to be a Ubuntu desktop user.. | 13:26 |
| SuperEngineer | ..I fired up the netbook & mini in front of them and added the "now imagine a full blown desktop with proper ubuntu on it at home" bit | 13:26 |
| SuperEngineer | ...the person who asked is now a convert :D | 13:27 |
| penguin42 | nod, I run mostly KDE, although my dads on Mate and my mum I think has Unity | 13:28 |
| popey | just dug out an Eee 900 | 13:44 |
| popey | should probably put this away in the loft, will never get used really | 13:44 |
| popey | heh, its running 12.04 | 13:46 |
| popey | last booted this exactly 5 months ago | 13:48 |
| * SuperEngineer thinks of offering ££ pounds for Eee900 | 13:50 | |
| penguin42 | it's worth more than £2 - a little bit more | 13:51 |
| SuperEngineer | £££ perhaps? | 13:51 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 13:51 |
| popey | according to ebay, no | 13:54 |
| popey | heh, found an eee 701 on ebay for 120 quid.. optimistic | 13:54 |
| popey | still has the original xandros install | 13:54 |
| popey | i think the description is supposed to say "Notebook" but it got nicely truncated... | 13:55 |
| popey | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-Eee-PC-4G-Surf-7-4-GB-Intel-Celeron-M-900-MHz-512-MB-Ultraportable-No-/161323121293 | 13:55 |
| penguin42 | phhh - £120 for a 7 inch?! | 13:56 |
| SuperEngineer | darn - I was hoping you wouldn't check, popey ;) | 13:58 |
| popey | takes a while to update ☻ | 14:07 |
| SuperEngineer | help! lubuntu netbook 12-.04->12.10 upgrade ok. Just kicked off upgrade to 13.10 & stuck on "Do you want to start the upgrade" screen... | 14:13 |
| SuperEngineer | can't move it to see the buttons - or find a key press to accept | 14:14 |
| SuperEngineer | ...all ideas accepted ;) | 14:14 |
| SuperEngineer | damn window is to big for netbook screen | 14:16 |
| SuperEngineer | [big = tall] | 14:16 |
| popey | can you navigate it with tab keys? | 14:16 |
| popey | tab and space | 14:16 |
| popey | hold down ALT on window to move it around with mouse | 14:16 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: will try it [ I Alt-F4'd out of it & noe restarting upgrade | 14:19 |
| * SuperEngineer plugs in mouse & hopes ;) | 14:19 | |
| penguin42 | plug in a monitor? | 14:21 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: no need | 14:23 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: once again, Sir, you are a hero. Thank you :) | 14:23 |
| popey | yay | 14:26 |
| SuperEngineer | things not to do when upgrading netbook - doze off just before the upgrader asks a question... zzzz... :) | 16:51 |
| SuperEngineer | still here we go - no probs so far | 16:51 |
| SuperEngineer | whoopee - finally.... netbook lubuntu 12.04->13.10->14.04 upgrade is upgrading to 14.04 [fingers crossed] | 17:46 |
| SuperEngineer | only prob noticed so far [in 13.10] was gnome-do didn't auto start... nice to have something to do after all going so well [so far] ;) | 17:48 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmm - should I take the opprtunity to catch up on work emails during upgrade? | 17:52 |
| SuperEngineer | work email or tv ... work email or tv... so hard to choose [not!] | 17:53 |
| Laney | http://orangesquash.org.uk/~laney/bill-remix.mp3 | 17:57 |
| SuperEngineer | Laney: Rick Wakeman does The Bill? | 18:04 |
| daftykins | SuperEngineer: crikey, i'd have just clean installed. | 18:15 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: I too that thatr was a good idea - but I was determined [just for once ] to see what an upgrade to upgrade to upgrade was like - not too bad so far | 18:17 |
| SuperEngineer | [though been bleach biting at end of each upgrade too keep some free space towards start of didk ;) | 18:18 |
| daftykins | haha | 18:18 |
| daftykins | i'd imagine there's a fair stash of useless kernels mounting, yeah | 18:18 |
| SuperEngineer | surprisingly, during the 12.10 -> 13.10 I noticed it automaticaly removed old kernel but as synaptic's there by default removal of "spares" isn't that hard even if it hadn't | 18:21 |
| daftykins | GUI package management!? heresy! | 18:21 |
| daftykins | how come you didn't have to go 12.10 to 13.04, to 13.10 ? | 18:21 |
| SuperEngineer | *that* is a question I will not know the answer to! It went from 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.10 | 18:23 |
| SuperEngineer | [but I have no complaint about that!] | 18:23 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 18:23 |
| popey | you dont have to with 12.04 | 18:24 |
| popey | er, 14.04 | 18:24 |
| popey | we support direct upgrades from releases between 12.04 and 14.04 to 14.04 | 18:24 |
| popey | because of the strange support timescales for the inbetween releases | 18:25 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: ^ ...& there is the answer... thanks popey | 18:25 |
| daftykins | i understand LTS to LTS | 18:26 |
| daftykins | ho-hum | 18:26 |
| daftykins | i think if you can clean install it's undue waste on the package mirrors really | 18:26 |
| popey | clean install = ~800MB+ and then the post-install updates. | 18:27 |
| popey | so still a fair chunk of updates | 18:27 |
| popey | with an upgrade you jump directly to latest | 18:27 |
| daftykins | not in the above scenario | 18:28 |
| popey | well thats unusual. | 18:28 |
| daftykins | yep | 18:28 |
| popey | he could have jumped though, and not gone through everyone | 18:28 |
| SuperEngineer | I've done this upgrade in less time thanm it would have taken to download the full iso - create disk or usb - install - reload extras | 18:28 |
| daftykins | i've a couple of VMs on 10.04 server still | 18:28 |
| SuperEngineer | *than | 18:28 |
| daftykins | maybe, but i wouldn't fancy the likely quirks i anticipate with upgrades :D | 18:29 |
| SuperEngineer | That's the fun I'm about to find out! | 18:30 |
| popey | my laptop has gone 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 | 18:30 |
| SuperEngineer | any probs encountered? | 18:30 |
| popey | sure, i upgraded to dev releases | 18:30 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 18:31 |
| * SuperEngineer checks temperature of netbook - whew...so far, so good | 18:32 | |
| daftykins | whoops, Nexus 4 just came out of my pocket totally unresponsive | 18:35 |
| daftykins | power button did nothing, but managed to get to bootloader and boot normally | 18:35 |
| daftykins | D: | 18:35 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: next time - don't drop it down the loo bowl! | 18:36 |
| daftykins | but it wanted to go for a swim :( | 18:36 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 18:36 |
| SuperEngineer | "Global warming will lead to a significant increase in extreme summer downpours and flash floods in the UK, a study suggests." Any other suprises, BBC? Preferably ones we hadn't already noticed! | 18:57 |
| * SuperEngineer lives where a whole county went underwater in July! | 18:58 | |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Note those are the downpours/flash floods rather than the month long pour downs that cause prelonged flooding | 19:01 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: In Gloucestershire a very few years back it happened in *one* downpour, one afternoon. | 19:03 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Right, and that's what they're predicting more of I think, rather than the type of thing that caused last winters problems | 19:03 |
| SuperEngineer | agrred - but it ain't "news" | 19:03 |
| penguin42 | shrug | 19:04 |
| shauno | it's better than an elephant taking a 'selfie' :/ | 19:04 |
| SuperEngineer | ...it's just depressing | 19:04 |
| penguin42 | shauno: Yes! | 19:04 |
| SuperEngineer | shauno: I show that pic - rather that than where it *could* have pointed the camera ;) | 19:05 |
| SuperEngineer | sub show/saw | 19:07 |
| * SuperEngineer always giggles when watching installs/updaes... and see "girl2" passing by in terminal !! #chiildish! | 19:10 | |
| SuperEngineer | ..but is always reassured when machine has successfully installed the girls! | 19:12 |
| penguin42 | it might be reassuring for you.... | 19:13 |
| SuperEngineer | oooh - it is! | 19:13 |
| shauno | plural? usually installing girl2 causes a lot of problems with girl1 | 19:13 |
| SuperEngineer | shauno: depends on your relationship with girlx - - if anythinfg goes wrong... "..but it wasn't my fault - she just appeared & forced her way in... honest!" | 19:15 |
| SuperEngineer | never do a - "sudo upgrade girl" - unless you really know what you you are doing! | 19:17 |
| diddledan | yeah, because "bash: upgrade: not found" | 19:18 |
| SuperEngineer | agreed | 19:18 |
| diddledan | and just to prove it I just tried, slightly different message than my attempt at memory above, but it reports: "sudo: upgrade: command not found" | 19:19 |
| SuperEngineer | doh! | 19:19 |
| diddledan | I think that's just trying to tell me I'm single tho | 19:19 |
| daftykins | this foreign neighbour behind my place is on the phone, i can hear *both* sides of the convo | 19:20 |
| daftykins | @_@ | 19:20 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: give a shout out and say "hi" to both for me please | 19:21 |
| daftykins | heh | 19:21 |
| daftykins | ugh why do Europeans require such greater volume to speak? | 19:21 |
| SuperEngineer | daftykins: it's revenge for brits doing the same abroad | 19:22 |
| diddledan | PAS D'IDÉE | 19:22 |
| SuperEngineer | :$ | 19:23 |
| SuperEngineer | well, that's the upgrades done [would have been quicker if I hadn't had a snooze half way through!] | 20:43 |
| SuperEngineer | no problems apart from the one I was expecting - gnome-do doesn't work on the 14.04 lubuntu - ho hum - I can live without that if I must ;)( | 20:45 |
| SuperEngineer | [just noticed that it isn't in the lubuntu 14.04 software centre] | 20:48 |
| SuperEngineer | ...even though it still shoes in synaptic [hmmmm] | 20:48 |
| SuperEngineer | no probs - I ain't crying | 20:48 |
