[15:48] ;) [15:49] popey: I appear to do ... the job of the totally stooopid! [15:49] ...or so my firm think [15:50] based on the number of job ads I'm getting sent lately it feels like the market is hot at the moment [15:50] swap offer - my life for any of yours [15:51] SuperEngineer: No thanks, but I'm sure there are some others out there [15:51] :D [15:55] 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] ..."designed by accountants, built out of butter" is how I describe it! [15:56] [but my firm is a leading multi-national in it's field - so I didn't say that ;) [15:57] ...but please feel free to think of me next time you use any machine that takes or gives money [15:57] Grrr now we know whose fault.... [15:57] ...so do I [15:58] ...and it ain't mine! [15:58] SuperEngineer: Those Morrisons ones I mentioned the other day - they have the bizarre dostonction of not taking, but dispensing, #2 coins [15:58] dis [16:00] penguin42: we supplied that hardware! but *not* the software [yuk] & used to have the contract for them got underbid on last renewal [16:00] [& personally... glad to be rid of them] [16:02] next major move [& the machines already out there] is descibed as "the future of banking"... God help us all! [16:03] ...or gods/prophets [depending on your preference [16:05] * 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... [16:06] ...hmmm - about this hardware malarchy... [16:06] I don't know, if the machines can replace the useless bank staff I have to deal with a lot of the time.... [16:07] penguin42: ssshhh... don't let the accountants hear you say that! [16:09] SuperEngineer: and all the banks seem to be equally useless [16:11] * SuperEngineer couldn't possibly comment that ;) [16:11] *on that [16:13] except - all banks are born equal... but some grow up to bigger crooks than others - the others get jealous & try to catch up :D [16:14] * SuperEngineer ponders the hollow round building down the road... bet they are watching this! [16:17] yes, don't want to mess with the didcot x ray source guys.... [16:17] wee hee - another Linux Outlaws just released! http://sixgun.org/episodes/lo355 [16:19] * SuperEngineer hits gpodder in the variables for not catching it yet [17:48] * StevenR wonders why his 12.04.4 boxes still won't update to 14.04.1 [17:49] StevenR: What happens? [17:49] :< [17:49] "No new release found" [17:50] penguin42: ^ [17:50] hmm [17:57] is it up to date? [17:58] what does this command return:- [17:58] grep ^Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [17:59] sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade returns nothing to do [17:59] popey: Prompt=lts [17:59] hmmm [19:08] StevenR: is it OEM install [19:11] Myrtti: nope, I installed it. (This behaviour is the same across that PC, my laptop and 3 VMs) [19:12] anyone had any experience with failed resume-from-suspend (screen is not powered on) since 14.04 upgrade? === stephen is now known as Guest72766 === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [21:58] aawd [21:58] bah [23:02] i have an installed system and i'm happy with it, how i can convert it to installetion disk? [23:02] any idea? [23:03] how many times do you plan on doing it XD [23:03] to doing what? [23:03] daftykins: ^ [23:05] installing the same setup [23:05] a-lot! [23:06] more than 100 computers. [23:07] sooo hot in here :< [23:09] ? [23:09] gah, copy and paste being so dysfunctional in Linux is driving me insane xD [23:09] whoever came up with the whole idea of using a pointer needs to be shot [23:12] what's it doing? [23:12] 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] elad: maybe you should be looking into puppet and all that, or PXE booting over the network and doing an auto install [23:13] elad: or... just clone the drives and change the hostname? [23:13] no network :( [23:13] so make one [23:13] 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/ === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [23:13] Azelphur: :/ [23:14] yup, extremely frustrating. xD [23:14] i mean the installation will happen in several locations.. so i cant work with PXE.. [23:14] elad: drive cloning it is then [23:15] i want to make a distro [23:15] making life harder for yourself eh? no idea then === dogmatic69__ is now known as dogmatic69 [23:42] shame ali1234 isn't around, I think he knows about this clipboard stuff [23:42] 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 [23:45] wow, not like him to be offline!
