| lotuspsychje | prrrr | 10:16 |
| cfhowlett | lotuspsychje, he's screwed then | 10:17 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah told him he needs to clean install | 10:17 |
| cfhowlett | wait, he STILL hasn't fixed that 12.04? and STILL doesn't want to do a proper install? back to windows XP for him then :) | 10:18 |
| lotuspsychje | indeed | 10:18 |
| lotuspsychje | <motaka2> lotuspsychje: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hlyu24or7uib64/IMG_20151129_132848.jpg?dl=0 | 10:18 |

| cfhowlett | sweet christmas! | 10:19 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 10:19 |
| cfhowlett | clearly doesn't believe in spring cleaning, aka PEBKAS error | 10:19 |
| lotuspsychje | cfhowlett: you need a w10 theme lol? http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/windows-10-accurate-theme-released-for-almost-all-major-linux-desktops-496831.shtml | 10:21 |
| cfhowlett | read wha ... oh HELL no! | 10:21 |
| lotuspsychje | :p:p | 10:21 |
| cfhowlett | I saw that and said "meh!" | 10:21 |
| lotuspsychje | he keeps talking and talking and no action | 10:38 |
| cfhowlett | yeah, I see that. | 10:39 |
| cfhowlett | lotuspsychje, I've seen his pattern and added to /ignore. He's attention trolling. | 10:47 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah | 10:48 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 12:00 |
| pauljw | Hi everyone | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning pauljw | 12:13 |
| pauljw | hi BluesKaj :) | 12:13 |
| BluesKaj | Hi cfhowlett | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | hidiho BluesKaj | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | :-) | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | BBL , gotta check something | 12:42 |
| pauljw | brb | 14:44 |
| lotuspsychje | good evening to all | 16:31 |
| daftykins | lotuspsychje: howdy \o | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | hey daftykins | 18:36 |
| daftykins | cor, 50mph winds down on the island here D: | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | hows you mate | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah we got strong storm also | 18:36 |
| daftykins | good thanks :D tad windswept though! yourself? | 18:36 |
| lotuspsychje | fine here tnx | 18:36 |
| daftykins | just been to scrub up my other bike that i took away to Wales, as it'd been at my parents since | 18:36 |
| daftykins | i'm being forced to take it back again so my folks can get their motorbikes in and out :> | 18:37 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 18:37 |
| daftykins | oooh i can hardly wait for the week to start, to get all my deliveries ^_^ | 18:38 |
| lotuspsychje | the mobile glass front? | 18:38 |
| daftykins | yep, plus the SSD, £200 Lenovo laptop and bluray Battlestar Galactica set i snagged in the sales | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | ohhhh | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | wich ssd was it? | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | lol you buy dvd's? | 18:39 |
| daftykins | 240GB SanDisk Plus, for £33 delivered. Low end, but still MLC | 18:39 |
| lotuspsychje | ah right neat price | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | and goes rocketfast also | 18:40 |
| daftykins | i own exactly one bluray set right now, this'll be my second - i tend to splash out if it's a series i'd really like to see again | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: gonna run w10 on it? | 18:40 |
| lotuspsychje | daftykins: check qbittorrent :p | 18:40 |
| daftykins | oh trust me i have my sources for such things, just didn't fancy it this time | 18:41 |
| daftykins | ;) | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | or gonna run linux on it? | 18:41 |
| daftykins | well the cheap Lenovo is going to the guy i got that 27" screen in for, as it's new enough to drive 2560x1440 over HDMI - so he'll run 10 on it probably as he will be using it for architects drawings | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | ah kk | 18:41 |
| daftykins | i may be able to sell him that SSD to put in it, depends if he'll be willing to cover my time to do it - the machine comes with a 1TB spinner :> | 18:42 |
| lotuspsychje | 1TB out and in enclosure and ssd in | 18:43 |
| lotuspsychje | or does the laptop handle double hd? | 18:43 |
| daftykins | most likely not... but yeah, could get an optical drive bay to put it in | 18:43 |
| daftykins | or i'm sure i could make use with it in my special enclosure for my xbox otherwise ;) | 18:43 |
| lotuspsychje | im gonna do that with ssd+ubuntu transforms on existing laptops | 18:44 |
| daftykins | mmm, good way to keep folks data then | 18:44 |
| lotuspsychje | plugout their existing mechanical hd and put in sata enclosure | 18:44 |
| daftykins | i do find that's the most time consuming part of support tasks, just shunting peoples digital lives around before you can work :P | 18:44 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah | 18:44 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm that latest 352 nvidia driver seems to cause alot of issues | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | had several users to revert to older driver versions | 18:46 |
| daftykins | that could be why i don't seem to be able to get anyone's optimus setup working when i suggest it :( | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah | 18:46 |
| lotuspsychje | the guy i just helped got optimus aswell | 18:47 |
| daftykins | it can be a right tricky devil :) | 18:47 |
| lotuspsychje | think it works best with optimus+340 or 346 | 18:47 |
| daftykins | mmm, probably ok when the mobile chip is an 'older' one that's already in 346 | 18:48 |
| daftykins | supported by 346, i mean | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | hey EriC^^ | 18:53 |

| pauljw | :) | 19:13 |
| GrizzlyKolsch | Hi everyone - I'm new to ubuntu / linux, but want to learn more about networking and security. Are there any 'projects' you could recommend, so that I could learn using a hands on approach? | 19:56 |
| daftykins | i got a good background by setting myself the task of setting up a wordpress website from ubuntu server a while back | 19:56 |
| daftykins | the free course LFS101x on edx.org is also a good primer on Linux aspects | 19:57 |
| daftykins | perhaps creating two VMs that can file share via samba would also be a good one | 19:57 |
| GrizzlyKolsch | ah - I was thinking about edx courses. That sounds like a good idea to me. | 19:57 |
| GrizzlyKolsch | cheers for the tips :) | 19:58 |
