[01:18] <locodir-user> hello I was hoping someone could help me with installing ubuntu
[01:20] <locodir-user> I am getting an error message that says Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO
[01:22] <wolfger> I'm confused. I haven't done an install in some time (just keep updating existing installs), but last I checked downloading the ISO comes ahead of installing. It's what you use to make the CD/DVD/USB installer, yes?
[01:23] <locodir-user> yes I downloaded the iso
[01:23] <wolfger> ok. So I'm not understanding what the error message means.
[01:23] <locodir-user> me either I guess
[01:25] <wolfger> sorry. Wish I was more helpful. Not sure how many people are actually here this time on a Friday night... probably better luck asking again in roughly 12 hours.
[01:25] <locodir-user> okay thank you.
[01:39] <_stink_> i think that message is for a wubi install
[01:41] <_stink_> fwiw if locodir-user comes back
[01:41] <_stink_> might help a google search
[01:53] <wolfger> a what install?
[01:53] <wolfger> nm, I can google wubi
[04:23] <cmaloney> apparenlt yYahoo Pipes is shutting down as well
[11:53] <wolfger> Now what's this I hear about Chrome ending support for Java?
[11:54] <wolfger> They decided they no longer wanted to be a popular browser? Or do they think they have the muscle to end internet Java applets?
[11:55] <wolfger> or is there some nuance to the story that the headline missed, and I was too lazy last night to rtfa? :-p

[11:57] <cscheib> wolfger: not Java, but NPAPI plugins in general
[11:57] <cscheib> afaik
[12:08] <wolfger> as I suspected, much less sky falling than was fearmongered.
[12:10] <cscheib> Orajava has the option of making a non-NPAPI plugin
[12:10] <cscheib> but, they probably won't
[12:10] <cscheib> or you can run their crap in another browser
[12:27] <cmaloney> morning
[12:30] <cmaloney> morning
[12:30] <cmaloney> get to clean out giutters today woo hoo
[23:02] <jrwren> who uses java in browsers?
