[07:07] you know that legal disclaimers people put at the end of their mails? Saying if their mail infects your computer with a virus, they are not liable? [07:07] yeah - that does not hold water. At all. [07:07] waste of bits and bytes, to be honest. [07:27] hi TinuvaMac [07:28] hey Kilos [07:37] Padroni: not only do I wish we could get rid of email disclaimers but HTML emails with fancy signatures irks me to no end as well [07:37] will we ever get rid of it? unfortunately no [07:37] nothing wrong with a proper signature, imo [07:37] I use an image for it though. [07:38] It's a signature, not a f*cking biography / resume and I think that's the part that puts me off it as well [07:38] So I agree with you there. [07:38] plain text is more than good enough for me [07:38] keep it simple and use it for the purpose of sending a message [07:42] * Squirm looks around [07:42] Squirm: I'm here but you can't see me [07:42] thanks Padroni and hi TinuvaMac inetpro and I think I missed superfly the first time around [07:43] yw [07:43] nlsthzn: congratulations! [07:44] Padroni: we have a client whose e-mails have one of those disclaimers [07:44] Padroni: so we get mails that say, "Thanks!" and then a disclaimer that is such a waste of bytes [07:44] it irks me no end [07:45] lol [07:45] It has as much effect as putting a bumper sticker on your car that says " I am not liable for any accidents I may cause or make while driving" and then ramming someone [07:45] i dont read that far [07:46] the sent from my blackberry is also a pain [07:46] oh yes [07:46] thanks inetpro [07:46] imo - if you are using a blackberry, don't advertise it [07:46] or take it out in public [07:46] or or or [07:46] lol [07:48] * Padroni hates blackberry [07:48] I figured them out though [07:48] RIM [07:48] their business model was based on battery sales [07:48] the blackberry was just there to hook you with [07:48] what sank them were these cheap batteries from India and China that lasted longer than the original [07:49] lol ya lots of the users carry a charged spare battery with them [07:49] sales dropped on their batteries and they went belly-up === Neo31` is now known as Neo31 [07:50] hi Neo31 [07:50] tunisia woke up [07:50] what is the africa channel name again?

[10:22] of speel julle vanilla [11:25] Jacques_Stry: Ek verkies om nie mods apart te gebruik nie , mens moet redelik baie mods laai om die game behoorlik speelbaar te maak en om daai mods op datum te hou kan nogal baie werk raak [11:25] Ek verkies om 'n goeie "subgame" te gebruik wat reeds al die beste mods inhet [11:25] Dan is dit net een ding wat jy update elke keer ( die subgame ) [11:26] Ek kan ten sterkste VanessaE se Dreambuilder subgame aanbeveel. Hy het alles in wat jy ooit kan nodig kry [11:26] Jacques_Stry: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9196 [11:40] Got it thanks :) [11:43] Jacques_Stry: Just don't enable the "preload item visuals " setting [11:44] I guess it's a end of the world type spell that makes your computer implode on itself, or just makes it lag for a while [11:45] You referring to that setting ? [11:52] What is minetest? [11:52] If I may ask? [11:53] Pad_away: It's a free alternative to Minecraft [11:54] That's the short answer :) [11:54] Well maintained , actively developed , and a lot of mods [11:54] And seriously addictive :P [11:55] https://forum.minetest.net/index.php [12:48] Bye everyone , God bless [13:48] * nlsthzn has an additional copy of minecraft that I accidentally purchased some time ago >.< [13:53] sjoe [13:53] you got too many things on your plate lad [13:54] i nearly slept the avy away [14:00] :) [14:00] and now I have gone and bought the new (and first) ubuntu phone...

[14:28] Can someone explain to me , Kubuntu , I go to the software updater , run check for updates and it returns " no updates available ". I don't believe it , run apt-get update in cli and it returns a whole stack of updates. Why does this happen that software updater don't see updates apt-get update does ? [14:31] you didnt reload it mazal [14:31] reload refresh [14:31] Reload what ? I chose check for updates and it scanned the repos. What else must it reload ? [14:32] that [14:32] But it did that [14:32] And returned no updates available [14:32] have you got synaptic [14:32] works better [14:32] * nlsthzn did [14:33] So there is a major problem with software updater on Kubuntu [14:33] mazal if you run upgrade what does it show [14:33] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [14:33] :p [14:33] and use aptitude [14:33] apt-get has supercow powers [14:33] Like I said . apt-get update return and did lots of updates , at least about 25 [14:33] aptitude does the kernel stuff as well [14:33] that worked fine [14:34] and if in doubt also try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get kernels stuff too :p [14:34] if you need it [14:34] ;) [14:34] sudo apt-get an ubuntu phone [14:34] lol [14:34] nlsthzn: From now on I will defnitely use apt-get only on Kubuntu after what I just saw [14:35] I don't normally have issues with any of the ways to update but terminal makes it less complicated and gives more feedback IMO [14:35] AlphaG, :) [14:36] If it wasn't that I saw on my server's software updater ( Lubuntu ) that there is updates I wouldn't even have known there is according to K's software updater. [14:37] mazal you turned it off them [14:37] you can make it check daily if you like [14:37] You can't trun off a manual check [14:37] I ran a manual check [14:37] And it found zilts [14:38] mazal: I don't know, I've looked for a "reload" or a "update" button, and they don't seem to exist [14:38] you fiddled in the settings again man [14:38] and on top of that, it's dog slow [14:38] I just use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y [14:39] superfly: It check automatically when you open it [14:40] who are all these ppl here? [14:40] ./whois everyone. [14:41] lol lots of new guys [14:41] superfly: I'll use that way on this , but I always forget the command for kernels [14:42] is there an app for ubuntu that allows u to share screen feed of a mobile phone [14:42] The dist-upgrade , I can never remember that one [14:42] mazal: kernels? I don't understand? [14:42] just upgrade doesn't do the kernels [14:42] a blackberry screen emulator [14:42] mazal: no, upgrade does kernels [14:43] It never did for me [14:43] mazal: what upgrade doesn't do is pull in new dependencies [14:43] dist-upgrade will pull in new dependencies [14:43] Whenever I do upgrade the kernels doesn't update [14:44] They stay listed in the update notifier [14:51] wb AlphaG_ [14:51] back button sucks [14:56] my sister has a curve, and always something hassles [15:00] Hi Guys [15:01] hi arnaudmez [15:05] A friend of mine have killed hdd of his VM [15:05] almost killed his vmdk [15:06] he's getting error 5: input/output error [15:06] someone to help ?

[18:22] would be nice for him to have one for the debian conf :) [18:22] "grub rescue >_ [18:22] mazal, what laptop you using? i have had many many issues with macbooks and booting from externals for linux [18:22] mazal what os is on your lappy? [18:22] HP Elitebook 8440p [18:23] hd0 is the lappy drive [18:23] Laptop's internal has Kubuntu on ( that I am using now ) [18:23] ok then plugin the external and use boot-repair [18:23] When putting external now the OS sees and opens both partitions fine [18:24] what did you use to install to the external [18:24] some desktop [18:24] And it boots fine in 2 other machines , so don't think there's something wrong with the drive [18:24] Kilos: Lubuntu [18:25] if you run sudo update-grub does it see the ext [18:25] Installed from dvd [18:26] Kilos: Must I run that in the current OS I am on now on the internal hdd ? [18:26] ya from your lappy [18:27] Ok , how will I know if it sees it ? [18:27] if the ext boot is good then it will say found [18:27] But that will modify internal's grub ? [18:27] no it will just give you the option to boot from the ext [18:28] It will add the option to boot from external to internal grub menu ? [18:29] ya [18:29] Hang on , let me give a paste [18:29] in brub you will see the option [18:29] grub [18:30] http://bin.snyman.info/6wn29 [18:31] That very last line tells me it's sees it on sdb yes ? [18:31] ok now listen [18:32] i gotta think a bit [18:32] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [18:32] So now I can reboot , but from internal's grub and that should have the option to boot from that sdb entry ? [18:33] and where it says grub-timeout thing just put a # at the start of that line [18:33] k hang on [18:34] There's 3 timeout settings [18:34] The one that just say grub-timeout yes ? [18:34] just has the line that complains [18:34] Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported [18:35] hash that 1 line [18:35] hashed it out ( current setting was 10 ) [18:35] then ctrl+o [18:35] done [18:35] enter an ctrl+x [18:35] done [18:36] then reboot and you will have the choice to boot from external [18:36] k , rebooting [18:36] sjoe hope i got that right [18:42] :) [18:42] I have no idea... dont know the grub commands :) [18:43] i have to leave for a minute [18:43] bbl [18:43] Didn't work oom. The entry is there in grub , but when I select it screen goes blank for 2 seconds and laptop reboots again [18:47] ok then install boot-repair [18:47] Works great if you can find it [18:47] I think they broke the package for it a bit in favour of it's own LiveCD [18:48] Maaz google boot-repair for 14.04 [18:48] Kilos: "[ubuntu] Boot-repair wont install in 14.04? - Ubuntu Forums" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2210685 :: "apt - Can't find boot-repair package for the newest version of Ubuntu ..." http://askubuntu.com/questions/449818/cant-find-boot-repair-package-for-the-newest-version-of-ubuntu :: "How to install boot repair tool in ubuntu 14.04 live? - Ask [18:48] Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/489862/how-to-install-boot-repair-tool-in-ubuntu-14-04-… [18:50] I wonder if it's a hardware compatibility issue between the drive and the laptop usb interface [18:50] Maaz google How to install boot repair tool in ubuntu 14.04 live [18:50] Kilos: "How to install boot repair tool in ubuntu 14.04 live? - Ask Ubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/questions/489862/how-to-install-boot-repair-tool-in-ubuntu-14-04-live :: "Boot-Repair - Community Help Wiki - Official Ubuntu Documentation" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair :: "Grub2/Installing - Community Help Wiki - Official Ubuntu ..."

[18:59] just let it do its thing for starters [18:59] default things methinks [19:02] Boot repaired succesfully [19:02] K , lemme reboot and see [19:02] ok [19:02] ok all. 2 ubuntu machines... whats the best way to edit files on the one from the other? sshfs mount? nfs? want to use gui tools on my laptop to edit files on the server machine. [19:03] sjoe [19:05] nope , same thing still. Entry is there in grub , but when selected screen goes blank and laptop reboots [19:05] ai [19:06] something in lappy not happy [19:06] oh [19:06] Must be a hardware compatibilty thing me thinks [19:06] is your bios set to boot from usb [19:06] Yep , that's first thing I checked [19:07] have you got another external you can try installing to with the lappy [19:07] one to test with that is [19:07] Not one that I can format no [19:08] I have 4 externals , but all are used [19:08] and a usb stick [19:08] 8g should be fine [19:08] i have 12.04 installed on a 16g stick and boots from anywhere [19:09] I'm suspecting usb3 issue , very heavily suspecting that [19:09] Lappy has usb2 ports [19:09] And the machines it does boot on has usb3 ports [19:09] maybe [19:09] Might be completely irrelevant though [19:10] is usb3 backward compatible with usb2 [19:10] Usually yes [19:10] But I don't know in that early boot stage if it is [19:11] what does bios show as options for usb booting [19:11] mine has 3 different things [19:11] I have "normally" used usb3 drives on usb2 without problems , but that's when a OS is already booted. Just copying data from it etc [19:11] one is usb-zip [19:12] I have just one option "usb harddrive" [19:12] i dunno mazal sorry [19:12] Thanx for trying oom [19:12] try see what google says [19:13] someone must have had sam prob [19:13] Will try that [19:13] if you dont mind working try remove the lappy drive then see if the extyernal boots [19:14] if not then try install from dvd onto the external [19:16] wb magespaw1 [19:17] Just a bunch of Windoze stuff :( [19:17] On google that is [19:18] ai! [19:18] Most of them updated BIOS , might work for me too though [19:18] maybe [19:18] But that , might be tricky [19:19] that can be quite a job though [19:19] Yeah [19:19] And dangerous [19:19] easiest way i found was with xp in some bios upgrade tool in it [19:20] there is also flashrom in ubuntu and an irc channel [19:20] #flashrom [19:21] but you gotta be clever to understand them [19:22] I'm not gonna mess with that me thinks [19:23] If I mess up . laptop gone [19:23] lol they have fixes even for bricked m/boards [19:24] but its all beyong me [19:24] beyond [19:24] I'll make another plan [19:24] It's not even gaurenteed to work [19:25] mazal: you have a smaller USB flash drive? [19:25] try booting from a smaller drive... as in less than 4GB [19:25] or smaller than 8GB [19:26] Will that show that's it's a size issue ? [19:26] If it works [19:27] I have my usb stick that my custom live is on [19:28] Ag no ! It's at work grrrrrrrrr [19:28] an earlier laptop of mine would not boot from anything more than 8GB [19:28] IIRC [19:28] Will have to test that tomorrow [19:29] I didn't try this but theoretically I think you should also be able to get away with it by making a smaller boot partition [19:30] I currently don't have a seperate boot [19:30] Just a / and a /data [19:30] gparted [19:30] Can I do it without formatting the drive ? [19:31] with gparted you can resize partitions [19:31] 200mb yes ? [19:32] I'm not saying it will work... but I would try that as an interesting experiment [19:32] Ok , thanx for the tip , going to try it defnitely. But will be tomorrow. Eyes getting a bit tired now. Will let you know if it works [19:33] mazal: rule #1 [19:33] make backups!!! [19:34] I only have 1 important folder on this drive. And that I backup daily to 2 different places ;) [19:34] rule #2 [19:34] refer to rule #1 [19:34] So I'm good with that :) [19:35] I'm sommer going to do a re-install to it , with seperate /boot [19:36] Man I'm curious now if that going to work , but too tired now hehehe [19:36] lol [19:37] Night everyone , sleep well , thanx for the helps. God bless [19:37] night mazal [19:37] sleep tight [19:39] night all. sleep tight [20:26] night
