| MaNI | "So met 'n eerste opslag lyk dit spiekeries!" < Any native afrikaans speakers that can translate that properly for me? I think my attempts at translating it are incorrect | 10:09 |
| andrewlsd | at first glance it looks .... | 10:15 |
| andrewlsd | .. I have no idea what "Spiekeries" means | 10:16 |
| TinuvaMac | lol | 10:19 |
| TinuvaMac | i never knew how you spell that | 10:20 |
| TinuvaMac | spickerish? | 10:21 |
| TinuvaMac | yeah i think that is the direct translated word | 10:21 |
| TinuvaMac | seems about just right | 10:21 |
| TinuvaMac | "So at first glance, it looks spickerish/brilliant/perfect/oustanding!" ect | 10:22 |

| Langjan | Hi guys, anybody wanting to help with ubuntu login prob, please? | 13:28 |
| superfly | Langjan: what's the problem? | 14:12 |
| Langjan | Hi superfly the root password is not being accepted to login | 14:23 |
| superfly | Langjan: why are you logging in as root? | 14:23 |
| Langjan | OK sorry, the username and password are the same | 14:24 |
| Langjan | I'm currently at the password reset in recovery mode | 14:25 |
| Langjan | Getting Authentication token manipulation error | 14:26 |
| superfly | You've lost me. | 14:27 |
| Langjan | http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password | 14:28 |
| superfly | Langjan: again, why are you logging in as root? | 14:29 |
| Langjan | The system was set to not require a login password, then suddenly it asked for password and I used the password that we registered on install | 14:30 |
| Langjan | We are using the same password that the system always accepts for login and admin privileges | 14:32 |
| superfly | there's a difference between root (which you shouldn't be using) and a user who can sudo (which is what you should be doing) | 14:33 |
| superfly | also, you should always require a password for logging in, it's just basic good security. | 14:34 |
| superfly | I gotta go, heading home | 14:34 |
| Langjan | Ok sorry, learning - its the password that I use for sudo | 14:34 |
| Langjan | Hi Kilos | 15:23 |

| magespawn | Maaz tell Kilos thanks | 21:03 |
| Maaz | magespawn: Got it, I'll tell Kilos on freenode | 21:03 |
| inetpro | magespawn: you really don't want to convert PDF to spreadsheet | 21:33 |
| inetpro | good evening BTW | 21:33 |
| inetpro | PDF is a publishing format and I don't know why people fail to understand that | 21:34 |
| inetpro | if you want the data then you must get it from the source before the PDF was generated | 21:35 |
| inetpro | time to hit the sack, good night | 21:37 |
| magespawn | no can do inetpro, i do not have access to the source | 21:37 |
| inetpro | magespawn: get it | 21:38 |
| inetpro | :-) | 21:38 |
| magespawn | the company will not give it to me, it is their main price list | 21:38 |
| inetpro | do yourself a favour and open the PDF file with an editor | 21:38 |
| inetpro | it's all XML kinda stuff | 21:39 |
| magespawn | okay, is there a foss editor? | 21:39 |
| magespawn | or do you mean any xml editor? | 21:40 |
| inetpro | sudo apt-get install okteta | 21:40 |
| inetpro | that ^^ is a hex editor amongst many thousands of editors | 21:41 |
| magespawn | thought you might mean a pdf editor | 21:41 |
| magespawn | alrighty, i will take a look in the morning when i am at work | 21:42 |
| inetpro | haha, I really mean it, open it in a normal editor and look | 21:42 |
| magespawn | will do | 21:42 |
| magespawn | you made the right call earlier, bedtime now | 21:43 |
| inetpro | if you can't read it at all, it could even be just an image inside a pdf | 21:43 |
| magespawn | sort of like a fake pdf | 21:45 |
| inetpro | but there are other options if you want to be brave | 21:45 |
| inetpro | look at poppler-utils for example | 21:45 |
| inetpro | aptitude show poppler-utils | 21:45 |
| magespawn | that looks very useful | 21:47 |
| inetpro | or look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/162037/how-to-edit-pdfs | 21:48 |
| * magespawn makes a note to follow those up in the morning | 21:51 | |
| magespawn | cool beans, thanks inetpro \ | 21:52 |
| inetpro | you're welcome | 21:52 |
| * inetpro turns the lights off | 21:52 | |
| magespawn | good night | 21:52 |
| inetpro | good night | 21:53 |
