| SuperEngineer | 1st weekend off in 3 3 weeks - just found great joy in deleting missed calls & voicemail messages without without aankowledging their existance! | 15:44 |
| SuperEngineer | All from today! "I'm not on call" is what I ought to say... | 15:44 |
| SuperEngineer | ...but it's not what I'm going to say the idiots tomorrow ;) | 15:44 |
| SuperEngineer | *to the | 15:44 |
| penguin42 | you worked 3 weeks straight with no breaks? | 15:45 |
| SuperEngineer | ..& why are there so so many reated words in that>! grrr! | 15:45 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: yup | 15:45 |
| SuperEngineer | and caught up on work emails and work sundry admin today | 15:46 |
| popey | gosh | 15:46 |
| popey | what do you do for work SuperEngineer ? | 15:46 |
| SuperEngineer | ...you want my job?... feel free | 15:46 |
| popey | other than "nothing at the moment" | 15:46 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: That's insane | 15:47 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: yes- I do "nothing at the moment" [today] & proud of it | 15:47 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: agreed | 15:48 |
| SuperEngineer | [but insanity is all the mind! | 15:48 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 15:48 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: I appear to do ... the job of the totally stooopid! | 15:49 |
| SuperEngineer | ...or so my firm think | 15:49 |
| penguin42 | based on the number of job ads I'm getting sent lately it feels like the market is hot at the moment | 15:50 |
| SuperEngineer | swap offer - my life for any of yours | 15:50 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: No thanks, but I'm sure there are some others out there | 15:51 |
| SuperEngineer | :D | 15:51 |
| SuperEngineer | popey: all this time I've been trying to work out a polite way of saying I repair hardware & software that was never built for maintenance or repair.. | 15:55 |
| SuperEngineer | ..."designed by accountants, built out of butter" is how I describe it! | 15:55 |
| SuperEngineer | [but my firm is a leading multi-national in it's field - so I didn't say that ;) | 15:56 |
| SuperEngineer | ...but please feel free to think of me next time you use any machine that takes or gives money | 15:57 |
| penguin42 | Grrr now we know whose fault.... | 15:57 |
| SuperEngineer | ...so do I | 15:57 |
| SuperEngineer | ...and it ain't mine! | 15:58 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Those Morrisons ones I mentioned the other day - they have the bizarre dostonction of not taking, but dispensing, #2 coins | 15:58 |
| penguin42 | dis | 15:58 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: we supplied that hardware! but *not* the software [yuk] & used to have the contract for them got underbid on last renewal | 16:00 |
| SuperEngineer | [& personally... glad to be rid of them] | 16:00 |
| SuperEngineer | next major move [& the machines already out there] is descibed as "the future of banking"... God help us all! | 16:02 |
| SuperEngineer | ...or gods/prophets [depending on your preference | 16:03 |
| * SuperEngineer ponders... the reason why he stopped all commercial programming... he started when he was helping people & stopped when he started putting people out of work... | 16:05 | |
| SuperEngineer | ...hmmm - about this hardware malarchy... | 16:06 |
| penguin42 | I don't know, if the machines can replace the useless bank staff I have to deal with a lot of the time.... | 16:06 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: ssshhh... don't let the accountants hear you say that! | 16:07 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: and all the banks seem to be equally useless | 16:09 |
| * SuperEngineer couldn't possibly comment that ;) | 16:11 | |
| SuperEngineer | *on that | 16:11 |
| SuperEngineer | except - all banks are born equal... but some grow up to bigger crooks than others - the others get jealous & try to catch up :D | 16:13 |
| * SuperEngineer ponders the hollow round building down the road... bet they are watching this! | 16:14 | |
| penguin42 | yes, don't want to mess with the didcot x ray source guys.... | 16:17 |
| SuperEngineer | wee hee - another Linux Outlaws just released! http://sixgun.org/episodes/lo355 | 16:17 |
| * SuperEngineer hits gpodder in the variables for not catching it yet | 16:19 | |
| * StevenR wonders why his 12.04.4 boxes still won't update to 14.04.1 | 17:48 | |
| penguin42 | StevenR: What happens? | 17:49 |
| mapps | :< | 17:49 |
| StevenR | "No new release found" | 17:49 |
| StevenR | penguin42: ^ | 17:50 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 17:50 |
| popey | is it up to date? | 17:57 |
| popey | what does this command return:- | 17:58 |
| popey | grep ^Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 17:58 |
| StevenR | sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade returns nothing to do | 17:59 |
| StevenR | popey: Prompt=lts | 17:59 |
| popey | hmmm | 17:59 |
| Myrtti | StevenR: is it OEM install | 19:08 |
| StevenR | Myrtti: nope, I installed it. (This behaviour is the same across that PC, my laptop and 3 VMs) | 19:11 |

| elad | i have an installed system and i'm happy with it, how i can convert it to installetion disk? | 23:02 |
| elad | any idea? | 23:02 |
| daftykins | how many times do you plan on doing it XD | 23:03 |
| elad | to doing what? | 23:03 |
| elad | daftykins: ^ | 23:03 |
| daftykins | installing the same setup | 23:05 |
| elad | a-lot! | 23:05 |
| elad | more than 100 computers. | 23:06 |
| arsen | sooo hot in here :< | 23:07 |
| elad | ? | 23:09 |
| Azelphur | gah, copy and paste being so dysfunctional in Linux is driving me insane xD | 23:09 |
| Azelphur | whoever came up with the whole idea of using a pointer needs to be shot | 23:09 |
| daftykins | what's it doing? | 23:12 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: I'm writing an application that copies a URL to your clipboard and then closes...so of course, the clipboard gets nuked as soon as the application closes as there's nothing to point to | 23:12 |
| daftykins | elad: maybe you should be looking into puppet and all that, or PXE booting over the network and doing an auto install | 23:12 |
| daftykins | elad: or... just clone the drives and change the hostname? | 23:13 |
| elad | no network :( | 23:13 |
| daftykins | so make one | 23:13 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: that and it's buggy as all hell in multi X screen setups, because it can't pointer to a window that's not on the same X screen any more \o/ | 23:13 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| daftykins | Azelphur: :/ | 23:13 |
| Azelphur | yup, extremely frustrating. xD | 23:14 |
| elad | i mean the installation will happen in several locations.. so i cant work with PXE.. | 23:14 |
| daftykins | elad: drive cloning it is then | 23:14 |
| elad | i want to make a distro | 23:15 |
| daftykins | making life harder for yourself eh? no idea then | 23:15 |

| Azelphur | shame ali1234 isn't around, I think he knows about this clipboard stuff | 23:42 |
| Azelphur | it's weird, my friend who has Ubuntu, the code works fine and the clipboard persists, however me on Xubuntu, it doesn't. I have a feeling Ubuntu has some clipboard manager installed by default | 23:42 |
| daftykins | wow, not like him to be offline! | 23:45 |
