After wasting hours seeking a solution. Eish! [07:30] But why the hiccup in the first place?

[07:46] ... because of http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35592916 [07:46] * anton_may busy with updates [07:46] nasty little bug in glibc [07:47] apt-get -s dist-upgrade | grep "^Inst" | grep -i securi | awk -F " " {'print $2'} | xargs apt-get install [07:48] Coffee's ready for andrewlsd and inetpro! [07:49] ahem [07:49] Maaz: thanks [07:49] andrewlsd: Sure [07:50] Maaz: dankie [07:50] Groot plesier inetpro my vriend [07:52] ^ wow. Maaz may have a small Afrikaans bias.

[08:18] the bots coffee is a fun think and because its cyber coffee you can have lots and not get headaches [08:18] thing [08:19] Good, great to have a bit of fun thrown in [08:20] Cyber, not decaf - the latter is close to politically incorrect [08:41] lol [09:27] oh hi andrewlsd... [09:27] kde hasnt got glibc installed here [09:30] ai! [09:30] Kilos: it will [09:31] oh my [09:31] synaptic doesnt show it as installed [09:32] the package is not "glic" is something like "libc..." [09:32] ah ty [09:32] apt-file search glibc... [09:33] gnulib and manpage (among others) have it [09:35] I think it's actually "libc6" [09:35] there is no package for it except source (according to apt-cache search glibc) [09:35] I've just run a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y and am busy upgrade 261 packages [09:35] ill reinstall all libc packages then if there is an upgrade ill get it [09:36] ok can do that too ty [09:36] Kilos: reinstalling is not going to help, and I don't recommend doing only one package [09:36] ok [09:36] glibc is such a central package, if you upgrade it but nothing else, you can render your system useless [09:37] you'll have a brick instead of a computer [09:37] ah ty [09:38] W: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.mirror.neology.co.za/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages Hash Sum mismatch [09:38] what is that about [09:42] * chesedo now also thinks it's libc6 (glibc might mean GNU C Library) [09:44] Kilos: use another mirror [09:44] aptitude upgrade is doing lotsa libc5 upgrades [09:44] Kilos: there you go [09:44] and all of libre office [09:44] 90 m [09:45] libc6 i mean ty [09:45] Kilos: yes, everything that uses glibc needs to be recompiled too [09:47] ah === andrewlsd is now known as zerlgi [09:54] Does sabdfl ever come here? [09:55] nope [09:55] too busy [09:55] zerlgi wb [09:56] lol ty Kilos === zerlgi is now known as andrewlsd [09:56] sorry for any confusion. [09:56] np [09:56] i know its you [09:57] :-) [09:59] He was on #ubuntu a few weeks ago. [09:59] yes he visits where peeps need some feedback [10:00] Yeah, he's too busy for idle chit chat. [10:04] Here we go again. [10:05] do nt you see this [10:05] [11:29] [Notice] -kloeri- [Global Notice] It's upgrade all the things day which also means lots of reboots. This will unfortunately be quite noisy. Remember connecting to chat.freenode.net, stay calm and don't panic! [10:06] I did not. [10:06] you can set it in your client to show them [10:07] irssi shows notices in the server window but I never look at the server window. [10:07] ah === Webtricity is now known as Guest8960 [13:29] lol [13:29] lol? [13:38] what [14:12] inetpro dink miskien gou oor huis toe gaan [14:12] kyk uit die venster [14:25] I LOVE LINUX!

[16:08] what? [16:09] waar's die reen? [16:09] what was the ssl port please 8880? [16:09] klaar weg [16:09] miskien sal dit later terug kom as die wind sal draai [16:10] you mean for IRC? [16:10] port 7070 [16:10] dankie [16:10] how do i kill this stupid message thing [16:11] "All freenode servers listen on ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 8000, 8001, and 8002, with SSL on 6697, 7000, and 7070" [16:11] stupid message thing? [16:11] often when i start typing that top message thing steals my test [16:11] no idea what you're talking about [16:11] knote or something [16:12] screenshot please [16:14] http://pasteboard.co/1CNPkZpj.png [16:15] now its gone [16:15] sigh [16:16] it didnt show [16:16] makes a tiny window top of screen and the text appears there [16:17] maybe clipboard [16:17] 6697 is a very typical port for SSL. [16:17] i see a scissors here as well [16:17] ty DalekSec [16:22] yay ty guys === Kilos- is now known as Kilos [16:29] hmm... [16:44] inetpro i think its klipper and when i try remove it synaptic say desktop and workspaces will be removed as well [16:44] sigh [16:50] Kilos: is it not simply kde notifications? Look at your settings [16:51] nono man its that thing where you save commands [16:51] here it saves random stuff [16:51] i have no why idea what even starts it [16:52] im on an ssd so all settings and things not sorted yet [16:52] i cant rsync /home because ssd too small [16:53] but its lekker fast [16:53] hehe [17:09] * chesedo always understood that it is somewhat useless to have /home on the ssd [17:25] nono you have a /home but just not on a separate partition [17:28] Sup guys! [17:58] hmm... the rain kicked him out again? [17:58] wb chesedo [17:59] chesedo: what would be wrong with having a home on ssd? [18:00] sup inetpro [18:00] hi cal_py [18:00] how are you? [18:03] inetpro: there is no benefit to it, right? [18:03] cal_py: good, good and you? [18:03] chesedo: why not? [18:03] it is just user files so no speed improvement [18:04] good thanks! whats good? [18:04] oh you mean like that, hmm... [18:04] 02/17 20:00:34 how are you? [18:06] chesedo: I assume you're right, I don't think you'll see noticable gains in speed for the home partition on ssd [18:06] but it's just an assumption [18:06] theoretically you should see a benefit though [18:06] and config files have quite some disk writes [18:07] lol inetpro do you use python? [18:07] lots of stuff reads and writes to your home folder during normal operations [18:07] hey, you should... it is just if it is worth the cost [18:08] cal_py: superfly is our resident python "guru" here [18:08] hahaha guru.... [18:08] dl_phreak said you good at the linuxes [18:08] not sure whether he likes to be called a guru [18:09] cal_py: ask away, I'm sure others would be able to help as well [18:12] in here we all just stand on the shoulders of other giants to make us look like we know something [18:13] +1 inetpro [18:16] hahah I had a issue but I've kind of solved it LOL, I was trying to get internet time on boot [18:17] because my RTC stopped working' [18:17] cool [18:18] was trying todo it without having to put the password in for sudo privileges [18:20] cal_py: you mean something like NTP synchronisation [18:20] ? [18:22] exactly inetpro [18:22] I created a script but you need to have elevated privileges to use it [18:23] you can do it the old way with a cron job with command: ntpdate ntpserver [18:23] or the new way with ntpd as a service [18:24] is it a desktop or a server? [18:24] service ntpd restart? [18:24] surely ntpd runs as a service, no matter desktop or server? [18:25] true but ntpd is rather chatty [18:25] synching happens continuesly [18:25] can I show you the three lines I found that worked? [18:26] syncing as well [18:27] cal_py: please enlighten us [18:28] #!/bin/bash [18:28] service ntp stop [18:28] ntpd -gq [18:28] service ntp start [18:29] found it on the askubuntu site [18:29] but if you run it at start up, it forces a gk sudo to pop up three times to complete the script [18:29] hmm... [18:30] hmm... [18:30] power came and went a few times then lightning whacked tower [18:30] hmm... [18:30] we had some more rain inetpro [18:31] i go see how much [18:31] cal_py: where is your script? and when do you run it? [18:32] 20mm its gonna rain [18:32] I put the script in my home folder and I used gnome start up tools to run it at start up [18:35] cal_py you getting to tame now, just now you break something [18:36] hahaha Kilos software or hardware? [18:36] who knows [18:37] always rememer , if it isnt broken don't try fix it [18:40] hahahaha, but it was at first, computer will be the death of me! [18:40] on a lighter note has anyone tried the Nylas N1 email client? [18:45] afk brb [18:50] anyone here use mate desktop environment? [18:56] superfly: wb [18:56] thanks [18:56] need to reinstall this VPS [18:58] superfly: reinstall, why? [18:58] 32-bit running on a 64-bit architecture [18:58] yikes! [18:58] I can't do any upgrading or migrating to take advantage of new features on the platform until I'm using 64-bit [18:58] reminds me of my office desktop [18:59] guess the time for 32-bit is over [19:00] hope you guys have all run your updates and rebooted [19:02] http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2900-1/ [19:09] how do you find out about this so fast [19:13] see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ [19:13] "These notices are also posted to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing list..."
