[07:11] i do sudo aptitude reinstall synaptic [07:12] i use cli and synaptic for all updates and upgrades [07:12] synaptic has the fix-broken option as well in edit [07:13] Kilos: if to have to use --fix-broken too often you are doing something wrong [07:14] i dont inetpro but its easier for peeps that dont use cli for everything [07:14] my kde doesnt break [07:16] cannot find chrome in my updates list... [07:16] will it be in "other software?" [07:17] google chrome deb stable is not marked [07:17] do yyou use it? [07:18] only occasionally [07:18] if you can do without it remove it [07:19] wil do [07:20] aptitude purge chrome [07:20] * inetpro don't use gui for updates [07:20] remove the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list and run sudo apt-get update [07:22] actually, ignore that [07:22] there must be a better way [07:23] could be that chrome will recreate that file if you don't uninstall it first [07:24] * inetpro needs to read up some more, how to get rid of it the proper way [07:25] Good morning [07:26] for those who want to get rid of google chrome: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67047/how-to-uninstall-google-chrome [07:26] hi dlPhreak [07:27] inetpro: how are you?

[07:42] maybe system is up to date? [07:48] ok Kilos all seems fine now, will try opera again, strongs with visa, keep in touch. Mooi loop [07:58] * inetpro considering jumping to 16.04 now [07:58] anyone upgraded yet? [07:59] superfly: you are normally quick with these things, have you upgraded to 16.04 yet? [08:00] inetpro: yes, on my netbook [08:00] anything special, or anything to look out for? [08:00] morning superfly [08:00] good evening Kilos [08:00] inetpro: I'm hoping KDE is slightly more refined [08:01] but I've found Debian to be better at that, even though they do even less than Kubuntu does [08:03] superfly: so you saying Kubuntu 16.04 still has a few rough edges? [08:06] inetpro: no, it doesn't, thankfully. 15.10 had enough of those [08:12] wb thatgraemeguy [08:15] Hi everyone!!! [08:15] Kilos, o/ [08:15] hi pavlushka [08:20] looks like you guys are kubuntu biased. [08:20] only a few of us [08:20] the rest use all kinds of linux [08:21] hi pavlushka, i am a unity fan [08:21] I've tested that sometime, that has widget facility [08:21] * chesedo now has to find a hole for cver [08:22] lol [08:22] unity is ok as well [08:22] chesedo, never mind, unity is kinda resource hog. [08:23] im sure the dev guys still have big plans for it [08:23] pavlushka: used to be [08:23] i find that it is a bit less when compared to kde [08:24] memory wise that is [08:24] Kilos, answer that. [08:24] yes i thionk so too [08:24] i found kde a bit heavier [08:24] but so good its worth it [08:25] Kilos, and you are using it bcoz it suites you? [08:25] yes i love kubuntu [08:25] so what if its a bit slower [08:25] does it still have the widget facility? [08:26] you add widgets to suit yourself [08:26] i also use bento openbox [08:26] thats very light [08:27] never tried. [08:27] ubuntu with openbox [08:28] Kilos, noted. [08:28] good for older pcs [08:29] yes, you can see my PC description in my reported bugs. [08:41] will be back within a ................ can't say actually, see ya. [08:42] ok [09:18] hello all [09:19] right got that problem sorted out [09:20] hi magespawn well done [10:22] why are there no South Africans on this list? [10:22] http://grg.org/Adams/TableE.html [10:22] actually no Africans either from what I see [10:24] ok all them balis here, please hang in there and hold on for dear life we need your names to get on there [10:25] we need some representation [10:25] lol [10:29] Private_User: guess we gotta look after Kilos and langjan (although it will be a looooong wait) :P [10:29] also only one male on the living list [10:29] yeah I also saw that [10:29] ok lets start then [10:30] eish [10:30] Oom Kilos, you ok there? maybe just rest a bit hey and then take your walk tomorrow after eating a well ballanced healthy breakfast [10:31] take it easy hey [10:31] lol [10:31] lol [10:31] and then four+ more healthy ones the rest of the day [10:32] unfortunately with my sometimes very bad and unhealthy habits i doubt I will be able to make it onto that list [10:32] and I do not want to either [10:32] mainly because if you live too long you end up having done everything and then you begin to watch others perish and that will be too emotionaly draining I think [10:33] lol, hey that the only kicker [10:34] lol [10:43] I bet on that site they did not even bother to look in Africa for anybody because its states Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta [10:43] GERONTOLOGY RESEARCH GROUP [10:43] typical of US [10:44] to not look in Africa [10:44] lol [10:45] and Africa is probably like who wants to be on some stupid list anyways we have more important stuff to worry about like famine and wars, etc [10:45] lol [10:56] 'lo 'lo 'lo [11:38] Okay guys, arguments for and against using a CMS like joomla? [11:39] uhhhh [11:39] abstain [11:40] thatgraemeguy: abstain from answering or abstain from using joomla? [11:41] from answering [11:41] rofl [11:41] what does a sysadmin know about managing a CMS [11:41] magespawn what do you want to do [11:42] nothing really Kilos, just for some opinions, informed or otherwise [11:42] i see its used for website building [11:42] yes [11:43] you wanna builda website [11:43] but to my mind it adds complexity rather than just using html [11:43] superfly comments on joomla? [11:43] a cms is great if used for management, it would be hardwork to manage the links and design of a big site if going only static [11:44] hes our website guy [11:44] there are usage cases where it will make sense, but for small, largely static sites, not much point [11:44] Kilos: yuck [11:45] chesedo: also it you regularly change content say like on a shopping site [11:45] magespawn ^^ [11:45] superfly: and a CMS in general [11:45] Drupal [11:45] chesedo: depends. More recently I've been moving back to static sites [11:45] i figured that response [11:46] if you not gonna work on sites find something ellse to keep your mind busy [11:46] magespawn: nope, but is helpful when you want to leave the content to the client/marketing guys [11:46] Kilos: i am doing all the company sites at the moment, and the all run on joomla [11:46] why carry a toolbox full of tools in you car if you dont know what a spark plug looks like [11:47] oh my [11:47] then youre choices are made for you [11:47] ai! [11:47] i am not really fond of running more software than i have to [11:49] chesedo: i have thought that it is almost as much work to redo the wording inside html as it is to log in and change the wording and menu layout etc in joomla [11:49] magespawn: how many pages? [11:51] chesedo: about 20, most of that content does not change regularly though [11:51] that is the one site [11:51] the others are only 5 [11:52] updating a menu link on 20 pages is probably so so case depending on how often they change [11:54] maybe one page change for one page a year, rates and activities change maybe once every 12 months [11:56] ... and then the look almost every 5 years to look fresh, keep with the trends, improve on marketing findings, etc. [11:57] yup that is about right [11:58] but if they have only 5 on some, why not start a blog to have more content on it? [11:59] somebody needs to maintain that and write articles [11:59] gives marketing something to do :D [12:00] indeed, marketing here is currently only one person, and she is also involved with the management of two of the properties [12:01] * chesedo mainly sees a website as a subdivision of marketing [12:01] ouch sounds like a small company [12:01] or developing one [12:01] the last marketing person left abruptly, and that was not a healthy situation to begin with anyway [12:02] small in terms of number of staff and work required [12:02] lol [12:02] my job description is currenlty anything that i can do [12:03] makes life intersting [12:04] interesting too [12:04] just now youll do the gardening as well [12:04] and clearing the roof, washing dir's cars, etc.. [12:04] lol [12:05] work has been adding for years now magespawn [12:05] * chesedo rofl [12:05] already cleared the roof, and there is someone else who washes the directors cars thank goodness [12:05] hahaha [12:05] lol lol [12:17] Sounds familiar " Anything you can do you must do and also a bunch of stuff you can't do as well " [12:18] and just make it up as you go along [12:22] but life is never boring at least [12:25] I always get's frustrated with the common misconception that an IT person knows absolutely everything of everything that has a freekin power button [12:28] Bye all , have a nice evening [12:50] peer does the rounds and like a game of thrones scene, every ones dies [13:43] i am sure i have asked this before, but what is the preferred location to install software from a tar archive? [14:01] ahh found out, for binary installs /opt and a source install /usr/local === Kilos- is now known as Kilos [14:53] sigh [15:00] right on that note it is home time for me [15:01] go safe [15:01] later [15:01] cheers [15:13] Hi Kilos still around? Its been a long day [15:13] yessir [15:14] is all your stuff fixed [15:14] Yes thks, but new prob [15:15] i got a cc mail where the service excellence peeps mailed my complaint to the saps complaints section because they didnt get a reply from the clearance peeps either [15:15] hehe [15:15] whats the prob sir [15:15] Great hope it helps things along soon [15:16] ty === jellie is now known as zipper [15:16] HP lappie has lost mouse, internet (via cable and wireless), dvd drive, is there a common piece of hardware that controls all those things? [15:16] depends on if they check emails i suppose because that colonel hasnt shown any life either [15:16] Eish! [15:17] Demote him to corporal [15:17] ya [15:17] what system is on the lappy [15:17] 14.04 [15:17] 32 bit [15:17] and no keyboard? [15:18] You call them lappie in SA too 0.o [15:18] haha [15:18] internet should be separate [15:18] havent tried, you mean external? Keyboqard and mousepad is working [15:18] yes [15:18] lmga [15:19] ok lappy [15:19] Langjan: The only common piece of hardware for those seems to be the motherboard for me. [15:19] do sudo touch /forcefsck [15:19] ok let me power up [15:19] yes motherboard but lets try [15:19] Langjan: It's probably major OS failure. [15:20] Kilos: Sorry, will let you be the doc ;) [15:20] you welcome to help zipper [15:20] i just want to see whats happening [15:22] im not a big lappy fan but using one now as well on 14.04 kde [15:22] nothing happens, just goes back to beginning [15:22] yes it only works on reboot Langjan so sudo reboot [15:23] then when booting it does a filesystem check [15:23] ok [15:25] ok it's rebooted, still same as before [15:26] oh my [15:27] plud a usb mouse in [15:27] in another usb port [15:27] and the modem [15:27] It uses usb mouse, i have had it in both ports [15:27] oh my [15:28] boot from live cd and see if things work then [15:28] Internet is via hotspot or cable to adsl, have tried both ways [15:28] doesn't boot from cd either [15:28] ouch [15:28] have checked boot sequence, tried different live cd's, nothing [15:29] so usb ports are dead [15:29] let me try memory stick [15:30] picks up memory stick [15:30] mouse works on my machine [15:30] so usb port works but not on mouse [15:30] do you have an iso on a usb stick [15:31] no, put one on? [15:31] this ones dvd doesnt work either, well it opens on its own now and again but cant read anything [15:32] do you have unetbootin [15:32] whats that? an app? no [15:32] its an app for making a live boot stick [15:33] so I must put it on my machine and make live booot stick... [15:33] in repositories I suppose [15:33] yes its in the repos [15:33] suod apt-get install unetbootin [15:33] sudo i mean [15:34] then before you use it you need to use disk utility to format stick to mbr [15:34] ok its installing [15:34] that puts in the boot stuff [15:34] boot partition [15:35] disk utility also from repos? [15:36] it should be there already [15:36] called gnome-disk-utility [15:36] you should see it in the dash [15:37] type disks in the dash [15:37] It shows disks and disk image mounter [15:38] which one? [15:38] disks [15:38] and disk image writer, there are three [15:39] ok its there [15:39] sorry Kilos gotta go to a meeting [15:39] now look at the bottom of the list [15:39] ok [15:39] can we chat later?
