* TwistedLucidity is the proud owner of a vampire ducky. It guards the cludgie.10:29
zmoylan-pii also have a squeaky rubber penguin which was handy for linux meetups...10:30

TwistedLucidityI have a papercraft penguin. Somewhere....10:39
* zmoylan-pi ponders what an emacs guru looks like... ::shudders:: :-)10:42
* m6lpi has a quick query relating to sudo... would there be someone around that might be able to confirm my understanding ?11:43
jpdsmapito: We would if we knew what the query was11:44
m6lpiI presume that should have been aimed my way?11:44
bigcalm!ask11:44
lubotu3Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience11:44
TwistedLuciditym6lpi: We cannot confirm your understanding as we do not know what your understanding is.11:46
m6lpihttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/sXuu7pYL/11:46
m6lpi(pastebin for clarity)11:47
jpdsm6lpi: Well, service is in /usr/sbin to start11:53
jpdsm6lpi: Maybe that will make it work?11:55
TwistedLucidityWhat's the actual question?11:56
jpdsTwistedLucidity: It's in the paste11:56
TwistedLucidityI read that, I'm still none the wiser.11:56
jpdsThey want to be able to have start/status/restart/stop at the end of the sudo command11:57
diploI believe it's 'How do I allow a user to start a service with sudo'11:57
diplo:)11:57
m6lpik, found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150507511:58
jpdsm6lpi: You can always log in as the user and run: sudo -l11:59
TwistedLucidityThanks diplo. In which case, isn't it just a matter of hacking "sudoers"? fred ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service [name] *11:59
TwistedLucidityOr %somegroup .....12:00
TwistedLucidityetc12:00
m6lpijpds: sure... that's what I did and how I got the current command set. I need to feed upline what's needed however as things are not right12:00
TwistedLucidityjpds: FYI service is linked from /usr/bin to /use/sbin12:01
shaunowell that's just ugly12:02
m6lpishauno: yes it is, but that's the way of things12:02
shaunoso let me guess.  systemd wanted to make service available outside of sbin because users can make services now, so it should be in user paths.  but things have the old path hardcoded, so they uglied out and went for both12:04

nucc1jpds what's stereo?12:45
nucc1i'm assuming it's nothing to do with audio.12:45
directhexhe's making a joke about mono the .net framework vs mono audio12:54
brobostigonand or mono/stereo vision*12:55
shaunowhy does stereovision sound like some marketting cheese from the 50s12:56

* brobostigon remembers that one.13:01
brobostigon:)13:01
shaunoI read 'muppets' there.  I was thinking, they did that most episodes :/13:02
zmoylan-pinew muppet show on the way, kermit and miss piggie have split up13:02
SuperMattdon't care, still get the muppets back13:03
zmoylan-pii still think one of the finest moments of tv was muppet show with monkeys typing scripts, when asked if they paid them in peanuts kermit says so and has a monolith delivered to them...13:03
SuperMattthey've only split so a new audience can see them get together13:03
zmoylan-pithose monkeys sure love their monoliths... :-)13:04
SuperMattwhich I'm ok with, because there are huge numbers of people waiting to be introduced to the muppets13:04

daftykinscelesteh: you need to switch to the proposed repo i believe to get it sooner20:30
daftykinscelesteh: easiest might be to grab the .deb's for now and throw them on, test it for yourself first hand... someone else might shout at me if they disagree :)20:31
daftykinsare you using vivid? (15.04)20:32
daftykinschop chop!20:34
ali1234i would get the source deb for vivid and build it20:35
