[00:46] <zmoylan-pi> linux voice
[00:46] <diddledan> bingo
[00:46] <velusunivers-sys> nice might get it
[00:46] <diddledan> came s'morning
[00:46] <velusunivers-sys> nice, and i met him at ogg camp last year,
[00:47] <velusunivers-sys> i nearly put my foot in my mouth once with him good job i didnt
[00:47] <diddledan> they need to make recordings of oggcamp in ogg format
[00:47] <velusunivers-sys> yay lol they should lol
[00:47] <velusunivers-sys> you ever seen big buck bunny
[00:47] <diddledan> indeed
[00:48] <diddledan> and elephants dream. and sintel.
[00:48] <diddledan> and whatever the live-action was called
[00:48] <velusunivers-sys> popey was showing it on a laptop at ogg camp and i thought they modeled bbb on popey lol it looks a lot like him
[00:55] <velusunivers-sys> diddledan, you good with js?
[00:57] <daftykins> o0
[00:58] <daftykins> i've only ever seen that in video tests
[01:15] <velusunivers-sys> ok lol
[01:16] <velusunivers-sys> there are a few map systems for opensim but they are bad
[01:17] <diddledan> I'm ok with JS
[01:17] <velusunivers-sys> opps wrong chat lol
[01:17] <diddledan> not an ex spurt tho I would state
[01:18] <velusunivers-sys> im having trouble with a map system and leaflet.js i have got a few guys stumped with this
[01:18] <daftykins> i'd be surprised if there weren't a JS channel
[01:18] <daftykins> !alis
[01:19] <velusunivers-sys> there is but you either get i will do it for $5000 p/hr or figgure it out your self
[01:20] <daftykins> maybe if you're only there 10 minutes
[01:20] <velusunivers-sys> i have been in the leaflet channel for 3 days now and got only the same response
[01:20] <daftykins> ah good community then :>
[01:21] <velusunivers-sys> yeah the best lol
[01:21] <velusunivers-sys> but i have seen them help others, but then again the system that it is getting info from is complex so that might be why
[01:22] <daftykins> could be the way you ask, too - that can make or break a help request
[01:22] <velusunivers-sys> true
[01:23] <velusunivers-sys> what you like with reading c#
[01:23]  * daftykins looks at the channel
[01:24] <daftykins> again, i would try more relevant places
[01:24] <diddledan> she sell c-sharp sea shells by the sea shore
[05:27] <mappps> hi
[06:54] <LibreSponge> Morning, we had a boat crash today: http://manx.net/tv/mt-tv/isle-of-man-news-archive/March/2016 "Quite a lick !"
[07:03] <LibreSponge> Gagh moghrey Jerdein - happens Every Thursday morning .
[07:34] <LibreSponge> popey, Howdy - expecting some rainbows today :) perhaps white-doves around too !
[07:37] <SuperMatt> foobarry: yup
[08:03] <knightwise> hey LibreSponge !
[08:03] <knightwise> hey SuperMatt
[08:03] <popey> morning
[08:06] <knightwise> hey popey :) Do you have any idea when we can throw our money at the ubuntu tablet ?
[08:06] <popey> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-tablet-m10-goes-sale-monday
[08:06] <popey> apparently
[08:07] <knightwise> aha
[08:07] <LibreSponge> knightwise: Hiya, Just discussing whether nuns can be vikings with BreakfastR ;) http://ow.ly/ZSKKU
[08:12] <knightwise> ooohKey
[08:17] <SuperMatt> morning knightwise
[08:19] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:22] <LibreSponge> I shall never get spider oak to work on Crouton. Even for $125 a year as they advertise.
[09:07] <knightwise> hey brobostigon ,
[09:07] <brobostigon> hi knightwise
[09:07] <knightwise> LibreSponge: So have you pimped the storage space for your Chromebook ?
[09:08] <LibreSponge> knightwise: Not really. I tried Gallium. Worked ok. Not sure if I wanna go digging around ;)
[09:09] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:09] <knightwise> Gallium ?
[09:09] <knightwise> I'm looking around for a second hand thinkpad to play around with with linux.
[09:10] <LibreSponge> Gallium OS : https://www.reddit.com/r/galliumos/
[09:11] <LibreSponge> knightwise: I have one that gets stuck on thinkpad sticky keys. I have to over-ride it every boot. V. disturbing.
[09:11] <knightwise> Looks pretty interesting
[09:12]  * knightwise has a chromebook somewhere :) 
[09:12] <LibreSponge> I've got a touch screen from  the UK amazon website last few years :)
[09:12] <LibreSponge> I think they up dated the C720P for 2016 too.
[09:13] <LibreSponge> love the white color - goes with my microsotf mouse.
[09:14] <popey> I should sell this here branch new boxed chromebook
[09:14] <popey> or give it to my mum
[09:14]  * LibreSponge needs a new mouse that doesn't suck when you move the wheel on it.
[09:15] <LibreSponge> Oh Moby's talking to me .. https://play.spotify.com/track/4WOvx1gdPtmW1c4rXeo0iO off his playlist.
[09:18] <knightwise> me is listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms
[09:18] <knightwise> (The band, not the biological classification)
[09:20] <LibreSponge> knightwise: That sounds very Snowdy of you :)
[09:22] <LibreSponge> I prefer the 'Women of Indie' genre.
[09:28] <LibreSponge> knightwise: Yeah Gallium is not bad, but I don't like the name.
[09:28] <LibreSponge> I did a hangout with the developer, and he's quite the narcissist.
[09:30] <knightwise> hahah :)
[09:31] <MooDoo> morning all
[09:31] <knightwise> morning MooDoo
[09:31] <LibreSponge> MooDoo:  Hiya, how-dy-doo-de
[09:31] <MooDoo> :)
[09:34] <LibreSponge> Carbon Based Lifeforms reminds of sommit like this : http://hackaday.com/2016/03/23/growing-algae-for-fun-and-profit/#comment-2964112
[09:35] <knightwise> LibreSponge: you amaze and scare me at the same time :p
[09:40] <knightwise> Hmm. podget looks like a pretty straight forward podcast client
[10:02] <JamesTait> Good morning all!  Happy Thursday, and happy Chocolate Covered Raisins Day! 😃
[10:07] <sgbirch> Where is the upcoming final beta being discussed?
[10:08] <sgbirch> I don’t know my way around the Ubuntu channels
[10:10] <popey> #ubuntu+1
[10:14] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4V89Na3gbA
[10:22] <MooDoo> thank you popey seeing as they never said it lol
[10:28] <popey> heh
[12:17] <foobarry> billie piper separated from laurence fox :S
[12:19] <brobostigon> she was good in dr who, :)
[12:26] <knightwise> A very good companion indeed
[12:29] <popey> foobarry: back on your list, huh?
[12:31] <foobarry> nah, never was :)
[12:31] <foobarry> i wonder about the lives of actors that so many of them separate
[12:31] <foobarry> claire > pond > billie
[12:31] <zmoylan-pi> public eye, separate careers...
[12:32] <foobarry> clara*
[12:33] <popey> I used to quite like her.
[12:33] <popey> I dunno if "so many" of them do
[12:33] <popey> I'm sure there's plenty of them that don't.
[12:33] <popey> I guess different professions have different stats for stay/split
[12:34] <zmoylan-pi> what % of marriages fail? is acting above the mean?
[12:34] <popey> are doctors/lawyers/bin-men/soldiers more or less likely to split than actors?
[12:34] <popey> indeed
[12:34] <foobarry> http://lexfridman.com/blogs/thoughts/2012/04/14/divorce-rates-by-profession/
[12:35] <foobarry> jobs where you touch and/or kiss other ppl likely to end in divorce?
[12:35] <knightwise> Shatner is still married after all these years to his first wife
[12:35] <knightwise> foobarry: untrue. Busy careers tend to ruin marriages
[12:36] <knightwise> + they get a lot of attention from other people so its easy to slip up
[12:36] <zmoylan-pi> so 22% for actors, compared to 100% for astronauts who walked on the moon...
[12:36] <foobarry> many actors spend large amounts of time out of work
[12:38] <zmoylan-pi> a lot of actors do a lot of other jobs between acting...
[12:38] <foobarry> voiceovers on my kids audio book CDs
[12:38] <foobarry> and pimping themselves at glam events
[12:39] <foobarry> and hanging out with an insecure crowd of luvvies
[12:40] <foobarry> my mate used to do promotions, he said most of his coworkers described themselves as actors. although they never got any jobs
[12:40] <foobarry> how can a grown man eat in such a vulgar manner with his mouth open? i don't understand. i have to leave the office, its too gross
[12:40] <foobarry> he is 30ft away and i can hear everything
[12:43] <zmoylan-pi> that's a recognised medical condition when you can't bear to hear someone eat iirc
[12:44] <zmoylan-pi> misophonia
[12:44] <popey> Speaking of voiceovers, if you want to do something worthwhile and near-zero effort - https://www.vocalid.co/
[12:44] <popey> record your voice so someone with a medical condition who can't speak, can get a voice
[12:45] <popey> I have been recording my voice for the MyCroft.ai thing
[12:46] <popey> but my voice might be used by other people too.
[12:46] <popey> It's quite clever
[12:46] <popey> you just have to spend a few hours reading short passages of text.
[12:47] <zmoylan-pi> it'll all bite you in the backside when one day hal won't open the pod bay doors and tells you using your own voice... :-)
[12:49] <popey> :)
[12:50] <popey> There's a nice video they show of a young girl getting a personalised voice based on a blend of hers and another "doner"
[13:05] <foobarry> popey: whats the commitment>?
[13:08] <popey> time
[13:08] <popey> a few hours
[13:08] <popey> spread over as long as you like
[13:08] <foobarry> done in parts or in one go?
[13:08] <foobarry> cool
[13:08] <popey> yeah, they say don't do in one go
[13:08] <velusunivers-sys> i have just signed up my self
[13:08] <foobarry> zmoylan-pi: not all humans find the noise of disgusting eaters intolerable?
[13:10] <zmoylan-pi> nope... and it's often not all people but just a small % annoying a small %
[13:11] <zmoylan-pi> there's probably other people there eating _not_ annoying you
[13:21] <foobarry> yeah this guy is disgusting
[13:26] <foobarry> everyone gawps in disbelief
[13:27] <velusunivers-sys> i know one person who is a disgusting eater, the last time i went for a meal with them i was so embarassed i felt like just melting under the table
[13:30] <knightwise> ouch
[13:32] <velusunivers-sys> yeah i know at it was infront of a girl i was trying to get a date with
[13:32] <foobarry> heh
[13:33] <velusunivers-sys> i was trying to get a date with a lass i know that worked at pizza hut, and me and a friend had a meal there and he was so disgusting eater,
[13:34] <foobarry> popey: do u know if they need british voices?
[13:34] <velusunivers-sys> i would assume they need all accents
[13:38] <popey> foobarry: i expect so, i recorded some this week and have already been "matched" with 3 UK people and a US guy
[14:15] <foobarry> cool
[14:19] <TwistedLucidity> "OK Al, you'll be unable to speak for a few months but we have this new vocalid thing. The best match for you appears to be 'Opinionated and permanently angry Irish-Scots git'..."
[14:20] <diddledan> I'm sorry Dave
[14:24] <TwistedLucidity> The vocalid thing looks cool, hope people don't troll it and turn it into this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/03/24/microsofts-teen-girl-ai-turns-into-a-hitler-loving-sex-robot-wit/
[14:27] <TwistedLucidity> Bile rising...."vocal DNA"? Please, just say "information".
[14:28] <TwistedLucidity> "blah-de-blah DNA" and the phrase "...reached out to..." need to die.
[14:28] <TwistedLucidity>  /\ Proof of permanent angriness
[14:29] <diddledan> TwistedLucidity: haha
[14:29] <diddledan> yey for corruptible AI
[14:29] <TwistedLucidity> All intelligence is corruptable, look at children.
[14:30] <diddledan> children are a perfect example - they turn into adults
[14:30] <TwistedLucidity> Children are the problem!
[14:30] <diddledan> KILL ALL THE CHILDREN
[14:30] <TwistedLucidity> Isn't infantcide against the CoC?
[14:32] <LibreSponge> I'm making my peace with some sun-dried tomato sandwiches ;)
[14:36] <diddledan> probably is, yeah :-(
[14:44] <velusunivers-sys> what are peoples views on letsencrypt?
[14:45] <diddledan> awesome!
[14:55] <diddledan> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35893804
[14:56] <bashrc_> letsencrypt works
[14:56] <diddledan> letsencrypt is awesome!
[14:56] <MooDoo> i use letsencrypt it works for me
[15:03] <TwistedLucidity> I really need to sort it out....
[15:03] <TwistedLucidity> But first of I need to learn how to do simple things in apache, like create a virtual domain (or whatever it's called) foo.bar.com rather then bar.com/foo
[15:05]  * TwistedLucidity has pathetic holes in their skillset
[15:08] <popey> TwistedLucidity: they do check the recordings. dunno if they listen to them all though, you have to record 3000 odd of them :)
[15:08] <TwistedLucidity> Or should that be "holes in their pathetic skillset"? :-D
[15:09] <TwistedLucidity> popey: Your grinning visage landed on my doorstep yesterday avo.
[15:10] <popey>  😃
[15:10] <popey> sorry
[15:10] <diddledan> ditto
[15:11] <diddledan> I'm scared what might be inside when they say "inside the mind" of popey
[15:11] <popey> lots of echo
[15:11] <diddledan> lol
[15:11] <popey> It's a bit rambly, sorry
[15:11] <popey> he just put his phone down and pressed record and started asking questions
[15:12] <TwistedLucidity> Mine is still sealed inside the plastic containment unit. I hold that holds.
[15:12] <popey> all mine are :)
[15:12] <popey> I haven't opened a single one
[15:12] <popey> retirement fund ㋛
[15:12] <TwistedLucidity> What? As insulation?
[15:13] <TwistedLucidity> Knowing my luck, #1 will turn out to be worth €€€€€s or something
[15:13] <popey> wifey looked at the pdf and said "OMG! That's our dining room!"
[15:13] <popey> and then "OMG! The mess!"
[15:14] <popey> and "Hah! Minecraft mug in the background"
[15:14] <popey> etc
[15:14] <popey> Not actually you know, _reading_ it :)
[15:25] <TwistedLucidity> popey: If 16.04 isn't amazing, I know what I'm throwing darts at. :-D
[15:25] <popey> hah
[15:26] <TwistedLucidity> Although this here desktop is still 14.10 with far too many PPAs. Upgrading will be a pain. Shall probably just nuke & pave to be honest
[15:26] <velusunivers-sys> popey it should of been an oggcamp mug in the bg
[15:28] <popey> true
[15:28] <popey> I did plan to give Graham an oggcamp mug for his coffee
[15:28] <velusunivers-sys> nice
[15:36] <diddledan> lmao @ screeching phone at daughter's recital
[15:36] <popey> :)
[15:36] <popey> true story
[15:36] <diddledan> what did you do, fiddle with it to silence it or run out red-faced?
[15:37] <Dave> is this a plan to get everyone to subscribe?
[15:37] <LibreSponge> popey, have you got channel operator status back yet ? Anyone cud be running this train.
[15:38] <diddledan> I didn't know it was lost
[15:38] <LibreSponge> oh Ok.
[15:38] <LibreSponge> it was on #ubuntu-community
[15:38] <popey> wat
[15:39] <diddledan> ?
[15:39] <popey> you lot left, we were fine here
[15:39]  * LibreSponge should've made more news with the title, while he had the chance ;)
[15:39] <popey> silly splits
[15:45] <LibreSponge> The *netsplit of mar'16 . 'Looking back now ...' |  https://goo.gl/R9n10J
[16:20] <diddledan> the netsplit of mar'16.. sounds like the great storm of 86
[16:21] <diddledan> or was that the big wind?
[16:22] <zmoylan-pi> the big wind was when heinz released curry beans in a tin
[16:27] <diddledan> gmail handles 1.4PB of data per day?!
[16:27] <diddledan> wow
[16:30] <foobarry> something something spam
[16:30] <diddledan> lol
[16:30] <diddledan> good point
[16:31] <diddledan> I wonder what that is with dedupe
[16:31] <foobarry> the rest of it is people who think my email address is their's
[16:31] <foobarry> theirs*
[16:32] <popey> i get that a lot too
[16:33] <foobarry> interviews, appliance purchases, $100 vouchers for birthday, naked stuff
[16:33] <diddledan> naked?!
[16:33] <foobarry> yeah
[16:33] <diddledan> why do I not get these emails?
[16:33] <foobarry> plus selfies with girls in bar
[16:33] <zmoylan-pi> you really really don't want random nudes from internet
[16:33] <davmor2> diddledan: spam filters
[16:33] <foobarry> these aren't spam
[16:34] <foobarry> they are directed mails from people who missed numbers off the end
[16:34] <foobarry> foobarry@gmail.com instead of foobarry_345@gmail.com
[16:34] <diddledan> you should start blackmailing
[16:34] <foobarry> plus really random bits
[16:34] <foobarry> i got job interview letters saying turn up at this time,
[16:34] <foobarry> flight tickets
[16:35] <foobarry> i sent the $100 vouchers back to the shop
[16:35] <foobarry> all other stuff i delete now because i gave up trying to be helpful when people argue with you or from noreply anyway
[16:36] <foobarry> a bit like when the old man calls you 100x on the home phone and you say the first 99 times , obviously someone wrot ethe unmber wrong
[16:36] <foobarry> 100x you get annoyed or leave the phone off hook
[16:51] <diplo> foobarry: I have those to my gmail as well, some guy up north is using my email address ( same name ) I get his invoices and everything, I know most of his details now to fake an identity, yet none of the companies I've replied to care :/
[16:52] <diplo> One came back at me saying "It is you, this is the email YOU gave us!"
[16:52] <diddledan> err
[16:52] <diddledan> that's a good argument
[16:52] <zmoylan-pi> fair enough, can you remind me of my credit card number, i've forgotten it...
[16:53] <diplo> heheh, from the guys emailing techniquies he appeared to me to be of the older variety :)
[18:22] <LibreSponge> !bug 1547212 How do I call up a bug on here, again ?
[18:22] <LibreSponge> Oh ok.

[20:08] <diddledan> I'll have a 99 for 1.69
[20:08] <zmoylan-pi> i preferred it when they were cheaper than 99p
[20:39] <foobarry> oh look another DS9 episode about 1 guy who fancies a girl

[20:54] <Welshman> Hi everyone 'in' this XChat-GNOME channel. Also, I do have a Linux Mint question which I have asked in the #linuxmint-help XChat-GNOME channel but on one answered.
[20:54] <Welshman> So, I will provide background info first.
[20:55] <diddledan> my spambox has been filled with mostly virus-laden attachment emails of late
[20:55] <mappps> really? what email you use
[20:56] <Welshman> Recently I used Windows program Img Burn to create an installation iso but was not successful because of a 'lack' of space on the hard drive.
[20:56] <diddledan> mappps: gmail for business, using a custom domain
[20:56] <Welshman> I am now receiving the following message: "There is not enough disk space to save the file. Please free some disk space and try again.".
[20:57] <Welshman> Also, I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel.
[20:57] <mappps> what are you tring to do Welshman
[20:57] <Welshman> So, my question is: Can the hard disk space be increased using the Terminal? Thanks. :)
[20:57] <diddledan> err
[20:58] <diddledan> you can download larger disks using wget I guess?
[20:58] <diddledan> p.s. I'm trolling
[20:58] <mappps> hes talking bout terminal but says he wasnt successful to create the installation?
[21:00] <diddledan> I've had success with using a rolling-pin to flatten a disk and make it cover a larger area, too
[21:01] <mappps> so es trolling ;/
[21:01] <mappps> hes
[21:02] <Welshman> mapps: Thanks for reply. Also, even though I am still a 'newbie' using Linux Mint the Terminal is the only 'thing' that I can think of using to 'fix' the hard drive problem, until I 'fix' other Linux Mint problems! :)
[21:03] <foobarry> mappps: iplayer official
[21:03] <foobarry> all except episode1
[21:03] <foobarry> youtube only has fake links
[21:03] <Welshman> mapps: So: Any links, suggestions or thoughts?
[21:03] <foobarry> hate that youtube spam is so prevalent
[21:04] <mappps> i dont get what youre on about if youre using linux mint what are you on about creating the installation
[21:07] <diddledan> I remember back in 1997/8 a friend had a really thin Siemens mobile phone and when I first saw it I said something like "omg, it looks like it's been run-over by a rollover" - I guess I'd been playing with DHTML
[21:09] <mappps> booking time off today
[21:10] <mappps> 5 days in april:D
[21:10] <mappps> hopefully go to Budapest..£57 return!
[21:12] <Welshman> mapps: Thanks for your reply. Also, I will explain briefly. Was using the Windows Img Burn to create a Vista installation iso. Even though it was not successful for some reason I am now receiving a "There is not enough disk space to save the file. Please free some disk space and try again." afterwards after 'doing' other things. Also, I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel
[21:12] <Welshman> which is useful if 'you' want to increase disk space. That is why I thought of the Terminal and that is why I asked the question about or on the Terminal. So, an answer etc would help me! Thanks. :)
[21:13] <Welshman> mapps: Installed Img Burn on Linux Mint!
[21:13] <mappps> im confused, diddledan ? understand?!
[21:13] <diddledan> no idea
[21:15] <Welshman> diddledan + mapps: I feel or think that there must be a command that can be used from the Terminal to increase hard disk space! :)
[21:18] <mappps> on the machine youre on?!
[21:18] <Welshman> diddledan + mapps: Away from laptop for 30 minutes or more. So, I do look forward to receiving an answer or reply to my question and I would really appreciate it! Back as soon as possible.Thanks. :)
[21:19] <Welshman> mapps: Yes. Back after 30 minutes or more. :)
[21:28] <mappps> i think everyons a bit confused Welshman
[21:29] <davmor2> Welshman: look at disks that is generally the way to deal with disks and partitions. for local and usb drives
[21:29] <davmor2> mappps, diddledan: ^ I think that is the only advice I can give
[21:44] <foobarry> new irssi released
[21:45] <Myrtti> second in a month
[21:47] <foobarry> realised i am on 0.8.17
[21:47] <foobarry> it can wait till tuesday.
[21:47]  * foobarry thinks Myrtti has irssi on highlight
[21:47] <Myrtti> nope, I just have an inbox zero obsession
[21:48] <Myrtti> so if an irssi window has activity, I need to read it
[21:48] <davmor2> Myrtti: hahahaha
[21:48] <foobarry> yeah i hate that. have to quit channels for that reason
[21:48] <Myrtti> davmor2: true story, don't mock it
[21:48] <Myrtti> :-|
[21:49] <foobarry> sometimes i just alt+num to the channel to make the notifier go away
[21:49] <davmor2> Myrtti: not mocking I have the same trait for email ofcourse that will all go to pot as I'm on holiday next week :)
[21:49] <foobarry> read a thread on reddit about hipsters getting excited by oh my zsh
[21:49] <foobarry> but most of the stuff is possible in bash
[21:50] <foobarry> it just seems like the atheist vegan shell for arch users
[21:51] <Myrtti> I've used zsh for years but don't need oh my zsh for that
[21:51] <Welshman> Hi. Have returned briefly.
[21:51] <davmor2> byobu and bash are all you need
[21:54] <Welshman> davmor2: Hi. Also, as I said to mapps: "Also, I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel.". So, I cannot "look at disks" at the present time! Thinking I might have to re-install Linux Mint!! :)
[21:55] <davmor2> Welshman: disks is an app
[21:55] <diddledan> ..lication
[21:55] <davmor2> diddledan: :P
[21:56] <Welshman> davmor2: But, I feel or think that there must be a command that can be used from the Terminal to increase hard disk space! :)
[21:56] <diddledan> wget http://theentireinternet/
[21:57] <diddledan> rm -rf / <-- don't!
[21:57] <diddledan> it'll achieve your stated goal of increasing hard disk space at the cost of destroying your OS
[21:57] <Welshman> davmor2: If 'disks' is an app then how or where do I download to install?
[21:57] <davmor2> Welshman: parted/fdisk/gfdisk the list goes on the easiest way though it with a nice gui that way you don't kill your system
[21:58] <davmor2> Welshman: it should be on you system already is at least on ubuntu and fedora and most of their derivatives
[21:59] <Welshman> davmor2: As I have already stated to you and mapps: "I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel."!
[22:01] <davmor2> Welshman: click on the menu thing in mint in the search box what happens if you type in disks
[22:04] <Welshman> davmor2: The 'Drives' icon has returned - typed 'Disks' in the search box on the Menu panel. So, now the next question is: How do I use the 'Disks' option to increase the hard disk space? :)
[22:04] <davmor2> Welshman: look it up on a youtube video it will make it easier than trying to explain in text
[22:05] <davmor2> Welshman: some thing like Useing Gnome Disks to increase a partition
[22:05] <davmor2> -e
[22:10] <Welshman> davmor2: Fair enough and thank you. But, another question: Is there a step by step instruction online about increasing a hard disk space through 'Disks'? Also, I do have another separate question. Thanks. :)
[22:15] <Welshman> davmor2
[22:16] <Welshman> davmor2: Hi + sorry to disturb you. Did or have you received my posted message sent to you? Thanks. :)
[22:16] <davmor2> Welshman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_jNL0mmaLQ
[22:17] <davmor2> turns out gparted is easier
[22:19] <Welshman> davmor2: Does that vid provide step by step instructions? Would have preferred a text step by step instructions with screen shots! :)
[22:19] <Welshman> *link for
[22:19] <davmor2> Welshman: yes and in mint too
[22:21] <Welshman> davmor2: Thanks. Also, Do have one more question
[22:21] <Welshman> arghh!
[22:22] <diddledan> ooh, point break
[22:22]  * diddledan watches
[22:22] <davmor2> Welshman: yes
[22:24] <Welshman> davmor2: Thanks. Also, do have one more question to ask you that is not related (USB flash/pen/stick drive). But, away from laptop for several minutes before I ask it! Thanks. :)
[22:41] <Welshman> davmor2
[22:42] <Welshman> davmor2: Hi. Have returned.
[22:44] <Welshman> davmor2: Also, have another question to ask you that is not related to my previous 1! My question is: Is there a program available for Linux Mint or Windows (XP and 10) that can be used to completely wipe a 8GB USB flash/pen/stick drive?
[22:44] <Welshman> davmor2: Reason why I ask is because recently I noticed the properties of a 8GB USB flash/pen/stick drive that I am using displayed 40.8MB filled space.
[22:45] <Welshman> davmor2: I want to use the whole of the USB flash/pen/stick drive because I have a Vista folder to transfer over to another computer to create an installation iso.
[22:45] <Welshman> davmor2: So, that is why I have asked the question. Thanks in advance if anyone answer or replies with a suggestion or link. :)
[22:46] <davmor2> that might be drive information partition table information etc etc
[22:52] <Welshman> davmor2: Thanks for reply. Also, I do remember 'coming across' or 'finding' a program for Windows a couple of years ago (cannot remember if it was free) that did completely wipe an USB flash/pen/stick drive. But cannot remember the name of the Windows program and it would be useful if I could use a similar 1 in Linux Mint! So: Link and suggestion, please? :)
[22:53] <Welshman> *for
[22:54] <davmor2> gparted or disks for disks you select the drive and then click on the menu and select format disk just make sure it is the right one.
[22:56] <Welshman> davmor2: Yes, okay. But does format really completely wipe an USB flash/pen/stick drive or is a partition created/left on the USB? :)
[23:00] <davmor2> Welshman: I've no idea what you are on about now,  It is a format tool it formats it, you can do it quick in or slow quick wipes the partition slow fills it with zeros
[23:01] <davmor2> anyway I'm off on holiday now night all see you in a weeks time or so
[23:05] <Welshman> davmor2_HOLS: Thanks. I am also leaving this channel or room. So, I hope you have a nice time and have fun on your holidays. I bid you a goodnight (it's 11.05pm here!), good morning, good afternoon and good evening! All the best for 2016! :)
[23:29] <diddledan> point break has got to the obligatory sexytime
[23:29] <diddledan> well that was quick
[23:29] <daftykins> tsk tsk
