JamesTaitDid we once have Cadbury Top Deck in Britain, or am I imagining that?08:50
bigcalmThe number of times I accidentally snorted that stuff..08:50
awilkinsMm, maybe thats what I'm thinking of when a Double Decker vaguely disappoints me08:50
bigcalmJamesTait: doesn't ring a bell. we have Double Decker by Cadbury's08:50
awilkinsAh. We have had Top Deck08:51
awilkinsBut I don't see it any more08:51
awilkinsTop Deck is just a half-and-half milk / white chocolate bar, right?08:52

knightwisefirst impressions : Works good08:52
awilkinsApparently you can still buy it :https://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Cadbury-Dairy-Milk-Top-Deck/9560101108:52
JamesTaitawilkins, you can, but it's imported from South Africa.08:53
JamesTaitSo really expensive.08:53
JamesTaitWhich is why I usually cram a couple in my case when I'm over there.08:53
awilkinsDon't they know that globalization is supposed to completely homogenize the world product selection? *tch*08:54
awilkinsThat would be insane08:54

ryan___I'm having problems with installing apps, etc20:22
ryan___E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)20:22
davmor2ryan___: sounds like apt/dpkg is being used by something else20:26
ryan___davmor2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11884575/20:26
ryan___take a look20:27
davmor2ryan___: yes still sounds like the same issue.20:28
ryan___davmor2: What should I do the #Ubuntu IRC team ain't helping20:38
davmor2ryan___: run ps aux read down the list and see if something is holding apt dpkg open kill it and then try again maybe, or failing that reboot and try again20:39
ryan___davmor2: I do not understand? davmor220:40
davmor2ryan___: something has opened apt or dpkg and not closed it so everything is locked to that process, kill the process it released the lock.  You can either find the process number and kill it or reboot the pc to kill it20:42
ryan___OK davmor2 I'll try and do that20:43
