zmoylan-piwhoops, responding to commend from 0643 :-)11:41
shaunoI was gonna see, I've heard of this teevee stuff, seems kinda popular :p11:41
zmoylan-piit'll never catch on, it'll never have the great images that radio creates11:42
MooDoomorning all12:32
MooDooblimey it's afternoon lol12:32

StevenRoh. wow. apt-get update doesn't work.13:36
* StevenR waits for the screenshot to appear in his mailbox13:36
StevenR(Dad's PC has had something bad happen to it, so much so that /boot is empty and other stuff is badly wrong)13:37
moreatiStevenR: At that point I wouldn't bother to try and repair it. Just boot from usb or a cd, copy all your dad's data off and then reinstall.13:44
StevenRmoreati: it's several hundred miles away13:45
StevenRfinding all the data remotely is going to be challenging13:45
moreatiah, i'll shutup then13:45
StevenRfortunately the /home array isn't on the same disks as the OS13:46

AzelphurHey folks, what versions of the chromebook are nice and let you install Ubuntu on them?18:43
AzelphurOr to bake the question down to its lowest common denominator: recommend me a laptop with insane battery life18:44
Azelphurbonus points for USB charging too18:49
penguin42I've seen it done on one of the earlier Samsung chromebooks (A15 ARMs)18:52
Azelphuryea, I want intel anyway18:54
ali1234http://www.scan.co.uk/products/101-asus-tf103c-1a031a-eeepad-intel-baytrail-t-z3745-quad-core-133ghz-1gb-1066mhz-16gb-android-44-bl19:06
Azelphurali1234, interesting, you can get ubuntu on that?19:07
ali1234i dont see why not19:08
ali1234most of the range runs windows19:08
Azelphurali1234, yea I wouldn't buy it unless someone had actually done it19:08
penguin42Azelphur: I know there's one of the Fedora guys who does it to the Dell intel tablets19:09
AzelphurI see19:10
Azelphurali1234, in fact, google says no for Ubuntu on that, no BIOS only droidboot19:10
ali1234buy one that has windows then19:11
ali1234i kind of want to buy a pitop19:12
penguin42Azelphur: https://www.happyassassin.net/fedlet-a-fedora-remix-for-bay-trail-tablets/19:13
Azelphurpenguin42, I'd prefer Xubuntu, I'd also prefer something that's a bit more laptop/PC like hardware wise so I have no issues19:14
ali1234i also kind of want to buy a point and shoot camera that has wifi and runs android19:14
AzelphurI want something more like a laptop where I can just install any OS and it should be fine, than say an Android tablet where that isn't going to happen19:14
popeyAzelphur: in general android intel tablets are not easy to install linux on19:59
popeyAzelphur: ironically the windows ones generally are19:59
Azelphurpopey, yea I can see why, ideally I'm trying to find something intel based with boatloads of battery life20:00
Azelphurthe goal being for it to be used on a plane20:01
AzelphurUSB charging is a mega plus20:01
popeywhat would you be doing with it on the plane?20:01
Azelphurwatching movies, playing some ultra-light games (FTL?) and IRCing if they have WiFi20:01
Azelphurmaybe some old emulators too for retro games20:02
Azelphurpopey, any recommendations? :)20:07
popeyyeah, a tablet20:07
Azelphurthanks captain vague :P20:09
popeyWell, last time I flew anywhere was 10 hours and I took my hudle220:09
popey-e20:09
popeyworked a treat for me20:09
popeyand it's still the primary tablet I use, and it's what, 6 months old now?20:10
Azelphuryea, I took my nexus 7 and it was alright, plugged it into a hdd with usb otg and had a bunch of movies20:10
Azelphurbut really want a full OS + keyboard myself20:10
popeyoh, only 4 months20:10
popeyjust for a flight?20:10
Azelphuryep20:10
Azelphurbecause WiFi flights \o20:10
penguin42Azelphur: I'm not sure it's any harder to get it onto the Intel tablets than it is on the chromebooks20:11
penguin42Azelphur: Assuming you choose the right one20:11
Azelphurpenguin42, if you get a windows one it's probably ok, as long as it's intel20:11
popeyyeah, it is tricky on most20:11
popey(most android ones)20:11
Azelphurpopey, I am so tempted by the hudl now though, they have them on sale refurb for like £76 and I have £25ish of clubcard credit20:11
Azelphurworks out I could get one for like <£2020:11
popeybargain20:11
Azelphurindeed20:11
Azelphurcrazy bargain, problem is I barely use my n7, so I feel like I'd just be buying it because its cheap20:12
penguin42actually, to be fair the chromebooks might be easier; certainly the older ones Google made it very easy to do20:14
