[09:10] <nucc1> happy rubber duck day.
[09:22] <zmoylan-pi> huzzah, i know were my rubber duck is
[10:29]  * TwistedLucidity is the proud owner of a vampire ducky. It guards the cludgie.
[10:30] <zmoylan-pi> i also have a squeaky rubber penguin which was handy for linux meetups...
[10:30] <zmoylan-pi> 'look for the table in the pub with a rubber penguin on it'
[10:38] <SuperMatt> http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/126496204752/watching-a-vim-guru
[10:39] <TwistedLucidity> I have a papercraft penguin. Somewhere....
[10:42]  * zmoylan-pi ponders what an emacs guru looks like... ::shudders:: :-)
[11:43]  * m6lpi has a quick query relating to sudo... would there be someone around that might be able to confirm my understanding ?
[11:44] <jpds> mapito: We would if we knew what the query was
[11:44] <m6lpi> I presume that should have been aimed my way?
[11:44] <bigcalm> !ask
[11:46] <TwistedLucidity> m6lpi: We cannot confirm your understanding as we do not know what your understanding is.
[11:46] <m6lpi> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/sXuu7pYL/
[11:47] <m6lpi> (pastebin for clarity)
[11:53] <jpds> m6lpi: Well, service is in /usr/sbin to start
[11:55] <jpds> m6lpi: Maybe that will make it work?
[11:56] <TwistedLucidity> What's the actual question?
[11:56] <jpds> TwistedLucidity: It's in the paste
[11:56] <TwistedLucidity> I read that, I'm still none the wiser.
[11:57] <jpds> They want to be able to have start/status/restart/stop at the end of the sudo command
[11:57] <diplo> I believe it's 'How do I allow a user to start a service with sudo'
[11:57] <diplo> :)
[11:58] <m6lpi> k, found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505075
[11:59] <jpds> m6lpi: You can always log in as the user and run: sudo -l
[11:59] <TwistedLucidity> Thanks diplo. In which case, isn't it just a matter of hacking "sudoers"? fred ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service [name] *
[12:00] <TwistedLucidity> Or %somegroup .....
[12:00] <TwistedLucidity> etc
[12:00] <m6lpi> jpds: 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 right
[12:01] <TwistedLucidity> jpds: FYI service is linked from /usr/bin to /use/sbin
[12:02] <shauno> well that's just ugly
[12:02] <m6lpi> shauno: yes it is, but that's the way of things
[12:04] <shauno> so 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 both
[12:05]  * m6lpi shrugs
[12:05] <TwistedLucidity> shauno: http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/124823725833/systemd-evolving :-P
[12:10] <popey> saw https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/snappy-app-devel/2015-August/000302.html and thought of directhex
[12:15] <jpds> Don't see why people really can't use stereo
[12:22] <directhex> quadrophonic!
[12:34] <brobostigon> quadraphenia.
[12:36] <zmoylan-pi> i'll get me moped...
[12:36] <brobostigon> :)
[12:37] <brobostigon> wrroooommmmm
[12:37] <brobostigon> vrroooommmmm
[12:37] <zmoylan-pi> *meep meep*
[12:37] <brobostigon> :)
[12:45] <nucc1> jpds what's stereo?
[12:45] <nucc1> i'm assuming it's nothing to do with audio.
[12:54] <directhex> he's making a joke about mono the .net framework vs mono audio
[12:55] <brobostigon> and or mono/stereo vision*
[12:56] <shauno> why does stereovision sound like some marketting cheese from the 50s
[12:57] <zmoylan-pi> in technicolor!
[12:58] <brobostigon> technovision
[12:58] <zmoylan-pi> what wasv gerry andersons one marionvision?
[12:59] <nucc1> directhex: gotcha. I read the surrounding notes and thought stereo was some kind of competitor to snappy
[13:00] <nucc1> shauno: nowadays, we have Dolby atmos and other similar encodings which you need 20k speakers to perceive
[13:00] <brobostigon> zmoylan-pi: supermarionation ?
[13:00] <zmoylan-pi> that's the one brobostigon!
[13:00] <brobostigon> zmoylan-pi: :)
[13:01] <zmoylan-pi> i loved that episode of star gate sg1 they did the puppets going through the star gate...
[13:01]  * brobostigon remembers that one.
[13:01] <brobostigon> :)
[13:02] <shauno> I read 'muppets' there.  I was thinking, they did that most episodes :/
[13:02] <zmoylan-pi> new muppet show on the way, kermit and miss piggie have split up
[13:03] <SuperMatt> don't care, still get the muppets back
[13:03] <zmoylan-pi> i 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] <SuperMatt> they've only split so a new audience can see them get together
[13:04] <zmoylan-pi> those monkeys sure love their monoliths... :-)
[13:04] <SuperMatt> which I'm ok with, because there are huge numbers of people waiting to be introduced to the muppets
[13:06]  * brobostigon has been conpared to animal form the muppets previously.
[13:06] <brobostigon> compared*
[13:07] <SuperMatt> me too
[13:07] <zmoylan-pi> ah, on youtube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZDrGaC5wO8
[13:07] <shauno> I started shaving again :)
[13:08] <brobostigon> SuperMatt: do you play the drums and have mad hair?
[13:08] <zmoylan-pi> an-i-mal...
[13:09] <SuperMatt> used to
[13:09] <brobostigon> ah.
[13:36] <m6lpi> lol
[15:08] <badabum18> Hi, anybody to tell me how to make anacron 2.3 variable RANDOM_DELAY works on ubuntu ? my job appears as "Will run job `test' in 1 min." but 1 mins is the period and RANDOM_DELAY=120 is ignored... :-/
[16:46] <celesteh> hello, I have run into this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214 A fix is committed for vivid. I don't know how to get the fix. Any advice would be appreciated.
[20:30] <daftykins> celesteh: you need to switch to the proposed repo i believe to get it sooner
[20:31] <daftykins> celesteh: 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 :)
[20:32] <daftykins> are you using vivid? (15.04)
[20:34] <daftykins> chop chop!
[20:35] <ali1234> i would get the source deb for vivid and build it
[20:35] <ali1234> but probably not for wine, it's huge
[20:35] <daftykins> in terms of deps?
[20:35] <daftykins> or just the single deb o0
[20:35] <ali1234> no just in terms of wine
[20:36] <ali1234> it's massive
[20:36] <daftykins> celesteh: note that your bug link even had a wiki link on how to enable proposed... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
[20:36] <daftykins> :)
[20:51]  * diddledan blows raspberry pis
[21:53] <daftykins> diddledan: you can't do that!
[21:53] <daftykins> good news people, i don't think i'm going to be so much of a liability out on the roads anymore
[21:53] <daftykins> https://www.dropbox.com/s/rr2eu82c41h0w77/IMG_20150812_222835.jpg?dl=0
[21:53] <daftykins> ;)
[21:54] <diddledan> omg, you're an anonymous?
[21:54] <diddledan> or lulzsec?
[21:55] <daftykins> more a downhill mountain biker really
[21:55] <daftykins> if i must have a label!
[21:58] <diddledan> that's an odd name for a haxx0r
[22:00] <daftykins> well all the leet has been taken up y'see
[22:01] <daftykins> nasty that thar China explosions eh? *speaker volume warning* : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLfen9rjfvI
[22:02] <diddledan> what happened?
[22:02] <daftykins> not heard a conclusive word yet, apparently the BBC claim a fuel dump exploded
[22:03] <diddledan> the report I just found says explosives
[22:03] <diddledan> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-33896292
[22:03] <daftykins> that's the last time i trust someone on the internet then!
[22:04] <daftykins> it's amazing how quickly we get word from around the world now
[22:43] <diddledan> yes
[22:43] <diddledan> (that word was send 40 minutes ago :-p)
[22:58] <daftykins> ;)
[23:04] <zmoylan-pi> not just words anymore, video
[23:05] <daftykins> mmhmm
[23:05] <daftykins> hmm got this craptop taking minutes to boot, lets try a disk swap
[23:05] <zmoylan-pi> minutes to boot... what spec/os?
[23:06] <daftykins> one that shouldn't take minutes :)
[23:06] <daftykins> its' optical SATA channel doesn't work anymore though since overheating, so it's a quirky beast
[23:06] <zmoylan-pi> even my 1gb ancient netbook is usable in less than a minute
[23:07] <zmoylan-pi> i do remember back in the day reading a report of an nt server taking more than 4 hours to boot.
[23:07] <daftykins> oy!
[23:08] <zmoylan-pi> which as it was been used as an email server for a certain terrible mail server needed to happen once a week. on average
[23:09] <daftykins> oh holy moly the failed battery in this thing is boiling
[23:09] <daftykins> not putting that back in D:
[23:09] <zmoylan-pi> not good
[23:16] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: I thought that was every 12 hours for reboobs
[23:17] <daftykins> ooooh i'm being an idiot!
[23:17] <diddledan> I didn't say a word
[23:17] <daftykins> =]
[23:17] <diddledan> y'eejit!
[23:17] <daftykins> even having the DVD in is what causes this, 'cause it tries to talk to it through a fudge port
[23:17] <daftykins> if i pop it again the old disk should work just fine
[23:17] <diddledan> fudge port?
[23:18] <daftykins> yep
[23:18] <diddledan> do they need packing?
[23:18] <daftykins> your mouth
[23:18] <daftykins> ^_^
[23:18] <diddledan> o_O
[23:18] <daftykins> er i mean...
[23:21] <zmoylan-pi> can you disable dvd in bios in a laptop...
[23:21] <daftykins> this particular issue is more hardware level, so i'm not sure that'd help. the BIOS is quite restricted on this old HP too, but it's an easy slide-out affair
[23:21] <daftykins> removed it and seeing how it behaves now :)
[23:21] <zmoylan-pi> or make automount ignore dvd
[23:22] <daftykins> but to answer you, it's an HP G6000 with a 1.9GHz AMD Athlon64 X2, 2GB RAM and 120GB Hitachi ancient-HDD :>
[23:23] <zmoylan-pi> 120gb hd... even my ancient netbook has 320gb
[23:23] <daftykins> i was given it with ubuntu on from a friends mum who wanted her data taken off in order to move to a... Mac
[23:23] <zmoylan-pi> linux -> mac... we live in strange times :-)
[23:23] <daftykins> yip! i'm going to throw an OS on this thing then give it to my friend at the art gallery to use it as simply a machine to view their security cameras on in the back office
[23:24] <diddledan> wow, it's online! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqtKb17Ggo
[23:25] <daftykins> no login edition: https://www.youtube.com/v/=lqtKb17Ggo
[23:25] <daftykins> ah no i chopped the ID
[23:25] <daftykins> https://www.youtube.com/v/alqtKb17Ggo
[23:26] <daftykins> 'violent scenes' & 'edited out' & 'viewing pleasure' !?
[23:32] <zmoylan-pi> where's the directors cut 'now with extra violence' :-)
[23:33] <daftykins> why are diddledan and Abraham Lincoln fighting in that vid?
[23:33] <daftykins> ;)
[23:48] <celesteh> daftykins: man, I wish I'd seen that when you posted it. I've just spend the last few hours compiling wine :(
[23:48] <daftykins> wat
[23:49] <daftykins> heh mate just updated his CentOS box and pasted the output, shows it removing an old kernel - take that Ubuntu.
