daftykinsthat nicomachus is so sensitive.01:32
SeriouslyLaugheveryone's fighting their own battle :\01:35
daftykinsdid you see that one though? just flips out and rage parts again over nothing01:36
SeriouslyLaughyeah01:36
daftykinsthis is how i see it: "either give me the exact answer on a silver platter or i'm going to get upset"01:37
SeriouslyLaughyeah, people tend to expect a path to the solution instead of spending the time to investigate options01:38
daftykinsthey were right there on the links...01:38
SeriouslyLaughthe worst is when you offer help on something and it doesn't work, then they come back to you like it's your job to offer another option01:39
daftykinsthe first involved adding a single config line, so could have been tested in 5 seconds01:39
SeriouslyLaughthat really irks me01:39
daftykinshaha yeah looking up with puppy eyes01:39
SeriouslyLaughmore like arms crossed01:39
daftykinswell that's common given the usual beginner atmosphere in there01:39

daftykinsafternoon all o/13:13
daftykinsEriC^^: wb o/13:27
EriC^^ty daftykins13:27
daftykinsripping music CDs of opera is the hardest thing i think i've ripped... the naming is impossible :D13:28
EriC^^:D13:28
EriC^^what are the names like?13:29
daftykinshttps://www.dropbox.com/s/2gmb5of13wi6avz/IMG_20151208_132952.jpg?dl=013:32
daftykinsthere's an example of a set of choices before you even get to all the italian track names D:13:32
daftykinsit's like... ok so it's Verdi... but then it's actually an orchestra performing it headed by this guy... then there are 3 main names above performing presumably... argh!13:33
daftykinsi'm used to Artist, Album Name, Year, track titles... done ;)13:37
EriC^^yikes13:38
EriC^^yeah13:38
daftykinsthis classical stuff is really quiet on the CDs too, i'm having to crank my speakers to hear it13:39
EriC^^:D13:40
daftykinsah another glorious Patch Tuesday ^_^13:40
daftykinslets see if Microsoft can avoid releasing one that ruins my clients systems today... ;)13:41
EriC^^did they release the big patch yet?13:41
daftykinswhich one is that?13:41
EriC^^you said they had a major patch coming out a couple weeks ago13:42
daftykinsoh possibly the autumn build of Windows 10, yeah build 10586 is out13:42
EriC^^i think you said it was what windows was supposed to be when it released13:42
daftykinsyeah that's the one :)13:42
EriC^^cool13:43
daftykinsit's a bit of a mess right now, anyone that uses disk encryption (Windows' BitLocker) can't clean install from the new media, as it'll not let them use that function... so if you use it you have to install from 10240 build media, then upgrade13:43
daftykinsi don't know anyone that does, though...13:43
EriC^^oh13:43
EriC^^i saw a thread yesterday about win10 editing some bios stuff causing dell pc's to show blank screens on starting up13:44
daftykinsi've been playing with this Microsoft Surface Pro 4, but i really can't take it seriously as any kind of productive device - it's just a glorified tablet toy really :(13:44
EriC^^ah13:44
daftykinsah i've not heard about that one13:45
BluesKajodd I just ran windows 10 update , nothing except the windows defender updated which is std13:45
EriC^^it must have updated earlier by itself i guess13:45
EriC^^check the build code maybe13:46
daftykinsyeah patch tuesday only occurs at 9am pacific standard time, which is 6pm for me here in GMT/UTC 013:46
daftykinshave to wait for the folks in Seattle to wake up you see ;)13:46
EriC^^oh13:46
daftykinsBluesKaj: yeah if you run 'cmd' it'll show 10586 if you're already on the autumn build update aka version '1511'13:46
BluesKajdaftykins, I am on 15/1113:47
daftykinsah right13:48
daftykinsyep only... 4hrs ish to go then ;)13:48
BluesKajok then it's too early for everyone then13:48
EriC^^i found a cool pastebin recently13:48
BluesKajit'll be noon here13:48
EriC^^echo bla | nc cwillu.com 1010113:49
daftykinsEriC^^: my brain can't handle another! XD13:49
EriC^^the cool part is that it returns cwillu.com/<ip>/113:49
daftykinsooh, our users could cry over that for privacy reasons though13:50
EriC^^and you can click to view all pastes, so whenever a user pastes, he doesn't have to give the new paste link13:50
EriC^^and all the pastes are on the same page and stuff13:50
EriC^^yeah, i thought it would be pretty cool if it could auto update somehow whenever he typed a command13:51
EriC^^so i came up with this, script -f /tmp/bla , and then in another terminal tail -f /tmp/bla | nc cwillu.com 1010113:52
daftykins:D13:52
EriC^^you get a real time view of his terminal, even if he doesn't press enter on a command13:52
EriC^^lol13:52
daftykinstypos in realtime :O13:52
EriC^^haha yeah13:52
daftykinsthat guy from California i helped set up a web server VM the other day, he'd come back to me "nope that didn't work"13:53
daftykins<me> err, did you typo...13:53
daftykins"yes"13:53
EriC^^yeah13:53
EriC^^yesterday somebody typed sudo parted -|13:53
daftykinsoof :D13:53
EriC^^lol13:53
daftykinswaaaaah the ripping software on my remote PC sends a horrible beep when complete13:55
daftykinsthat was a surprise :)13:55
EriC^^hehe13:56
daftykinsthere's something powerful about some of this classical stuff being so old and yet still so moving today, long after the composers have passed13:58
daftykinswhat a legacy :O13:58
EriC^^yeah13:59
EriC^^they're very powerful and stuff13:59
EriC^^beethoven was practically deaf when he made the 9th symphony :o14:00
daftykinsmmm i should get more into classical, i've never really explored it14:01
daftykinsi was just playing this from one of these CDs (they're not mine, just doing it for a client) because it sounds so good14:01
daftykinsPietro Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana- Intermezzo14:01
cfhowlettdaftykins, willia tell & 1812 overtures.14:02
cfhowlettwillia14:02
cfhowlettwilliam14:02
* EriC^^ listening on youtube14:02
daftykins:D14:03
EriC^^pretty soothing14:03
daftykinsMascagni one? takes until about 1.5 mins to get to the bit i recognised14:03
EriC^^yeah14:03
EriC^^man imagine the times these guys lived in14:04
daftykinsi don't think i can, too much of my life revolves around tech14:06
EriC^^i was just picturing the titanic14:06
daftykinsoh yeah that was around 1908ish wasn't it?14:06
EriC^^haha yeah14:07
BluesKajI inheritedmost of  my parent's classical record collection and some of the vinyl is still good shape ... I put Tsaikovsky on the the turnatable now and then to bring back memories of my childhood :-)14:08
daftykinsoh wow i didn't even notice autoplay skipped on... i really can't stand youtube's autoplay! i clear my browser cache regularly and so it never stays off :(14:09
daftykinsBluesKaj: that's neat :D14:09
BluesKajthe 1812 overture is tour de force recording even today14:10
BluesKajI'm still partial to vinyl when it come sto music14:10
BluesKajclassical music actually14:11
daftykinsi've never heard any as it goes14:11
BluesKajdaftykins, go to a music store that sells vinyl and will demo an analog recording, I'm sure you'll understand why vinyl music lovers believe that analog brings the listener closer to the music and the spirit it was recorded in.14:15
daftykinsmmm unfortunately i believe that's too subjective to the system used there, vs. my own14:15
daftykinswhat if theirs is worse or better, for example14:15
daftykinsbut no such place exists on my island, even14:16
BluesKajof course it's subjective14:16
BluesKajmusic isn't meant to objective, it's objective only to the critics14:17
BluesKajto be14:17
EriC^^BluesKaj: did you mean the music was sound more distorted on the analog one?14:17
EriC^^*would14:18
BluesKajanyway that's my take on it14:18
daftykinsperhaps it was a bad choice of word, my point is that my frame of reference is my own setup14:18
BluesKajEriC^^, perhaps a lttle more harmoniuc distortion , but it's usually quite low and not as objectionable to the ear as intermodulation distortion etc14:20
EriC^^yeah that's what i meant, that it'll sound like when it was recorded14:20
EriC^^so you get what the artist was hearing when he was making it14:20
EriC^^and the atmosphere of the song14:21
BluesKajdigital adds that upper frequency edgy sound that most vinyl lovers  don't like14:22
daftykinsi need to source a new sub as the one on my TV setup is going wrong :/14:22
daftykinsin fact i'm going to call someone i know about it14:22
BluesKajmostly to do with sample rate artifacts14:22
BluesKajEriC^^, you got it14:23
BluesKajmy old subwoofer is showing it's age ..using my mains full range instead ...more articulate bass14:25
BluesKajbbl14:30
daftykins:D14:36
EriC^^i'm getting hungry :O14:46
daftykinsme too, only had a roll and a cup of tea so far, time to hunt for more :)14:46

EriC^^people have some odd requests sometimes16:00
OerHeks more demand style16:00
EriC^^i'm hungry again16:03
EriC^^:O16:03
daftykinsthat guy isn't even understanding these errors at all.16:05
OerHeksdaftykins, i don't believe this guy, in this paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/13826351/   linux-headers-generic-pae              3.2.0.94.108                            Generic Linux kernel headers is installed16:07
OerHeksso what is really going on?16:08
daftykinsit's a right mess XD16:08
daftykinsi shouldn't have said to remove the newer headers packages when reclaiming inodes, in the original problem16:09
daftykinsit's motaka! everyone hide!17:02
EriC^^there should be some how to setup a web development server online18:08
daftykinsyeah a good VPS18:08
daftykinshalloween has passed, you cannot be ubuntu touch!19:18
EriC^^haha19:18
lotuspsychjegood evening guys19:42
daftykinsheya!19:42
lotuspsychjehey daftykins19:42
EriC^^hey lotuspsychje19:45
lotuspsychjehttp://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-phones-spotted-in-a-store-in-germany-at-just-1-with-contract-497189.shtml19:46
lotuspsychjehey EriC^^ :p19:46
daftykins:O19:46
daftykinsi just heard mozilla are killing firefoxOS19:46
lotuspsychjedaftykins: indeed: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mozilla-Stops-Firefox-OS20:46
lotuspsychjeall those seird os, i dont like them anyway20:47
lotuspsychjechromeos firefoxos,..20:47
daftykinsyeah, i think there are enough out there already on mobile20:53
lotuspsychje#gamingonlinux is really usefull, alot of grafix discussions :p20:53
EriC^^i always ask which laptop is this when the proverbial hits the fan21:10
EriC^^but i've not written any of them down, haha21:10
lotuspsychjelol21:10
EriC^^i need to make a "do not buy" list of laptops21:10
EriC^^it seems the home-built pc's have these issues21:10
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: ive installed trusty on more then 70 boxes, they all working nicely21:11
EriC^^uefi?21:11
lotuspsychjeyeah many21:11
daftykinsyeah a lot of the custom built stuff have bad EFI implementations i think21:11
lotuspsychjebut all singleboot21:11
EriC^^yeah i think so too daftykins21:11
lotuspsychjei never do dualboots21:11
lotuspsychjei warn my users in advance21:12
daftykinswhen Rene went to remove Windows and put ubuntu on, i don't think the install did enough to nuke all traces of Windows - i like to wipe it with dd first and reboot again21:12
daftykinsmight be all in my mind, but i do it even when i'm wiping a factory 8.1 install and putting 10 on :)21:12
daftykinsi see holding down shift when clicking start -> power icon -> shutdown ; works reliably for one-time hybrid shutdown disabling, so it shuts down properly ^_^ (Windows 10)21:14
EriC^^i think that'd be useful for mbr, sometimes you can have stuff that won't allow grub to install too21:16
daftykins"nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure" - Lt. Ripley, "Aliens"21:17
daftykins:D21:17
EriC^^like anti-mbr tampering software21:17
EriC^^haha21:17
lotuspsychje:p21:17
daftykinsa while back a friend asked for me to buy a cheap laptop for his grandmother, then reinstall the stock windows 8 with windows 7...21:18
daftykinsno matter what i did, i couldn't get this thing booting a USB flash drive with CSM enabled, just wouldn't go... (there was a reason a legacy install of 7 was preferable over an EFI one)21:18
daftykinseventually i got bored and threw a DVD of 7 in... booted up straight away =|21:18
EriC^^hah! :D21:19
EriC^^i don't know what the deal is with Rene 's uefi though, i think the bios is just mean21:20
daftykins:D21:20
daftykinsi didn't catch which make of laptop it is?21:20
EriC^^it's supposed to look at the uefi list, and boot whatever file is there first in the order, but it wont21:20
EriC^^acer predator21:21
daftykinsoh dear, the acers are the #1 suspects for showing more options when a supervisor password is entered from what i remember21:22
daftykinsthat sounds like a silly gaming model XD21:22
EriC^^daftykins: do you think Rene should enter a supervisor password?21:24
EriC^^secureboot is disabled21:25
daftykinsi've not been followingly closely to be honest21:25
daftykinssince it's not long since installed i'd probably do a Lt. Ripley as above21:25
daftykinsas much as it's giving up21:25

EriC^^nighty night23:04
Bashing-omEriC^^: IRT Rene___ would it not behoove us to purge the old drive before 'autoinstall' ?23:42
EriC^^i think Rene has the default one23:49
EriC^^wont hurt though23:49
EriC^^installing the headers is important though, sometimes nvidia doesn't work right without them installed23:50
Bashing-omEriC^^: Very true ! Got to have the headers to build the driver .23:54
