[05:59] http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/unity-8-won-t-be-the-default-desktop-session-for-ubuntu-16-10-yakkety-yak-503631.shtml [05:59] what a soap... [06:01] lotuspsychje: Nvidia drivers; My goto : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us for the mainline cards . [06:02] Bashing-om: well for the GTX 9xx series that doesnt work, it recommends the 361 [06:02] and we getting tons of users with black screens/login loops [06:03] and even cant boot on nouveau either [06:04] lotuspsychje: Yeah, have had a couple of instances where 361 failed .. and 364 was good . [06:04] so the guys from gamingonlinux suggest latest driver from ppa [06:04] yep 364 [06:04] they say always latest drivers for the most recent hardware [06:04] (if driver is stable enough) [06:05] For gamming .. and the cards to support .. sure .. latest is greatest . [06:07] And heres Nvidia, here we go again .. I gonna leave that with you lotuspsychje and call it a night . [06:07] haha [06:07] nite nite mate [06:07] Nighty take care . [06:13] Armadillos: morning [06:15] Evening for me. Just switched back over to linux, now calling it a night. :) [09:27] morning EriC^^ [09:43] i'm wondering if theres a way to ban/mute/kick people who highlight 5+ people in a single line [09:53] morning lotuspsychje [10:05] wow i'm dusting off my old 1GB RAM sony ultraportable from uni time ~2007 to be this new VPN server XD [10:14] dax: why dont you write some script that insta-bans someone if he highlights more than 4 nicks [10:14] would get the flooding down to 1 line if it's quick enough i suppose [12:10] Hiyas all [12:10] \o [12:11] hey daftykins, [12:42] @comment 1 bla [12:42] @comment 1 [14:20] torrents up 196.1 gb .. come on, i want to reach 200 gb [16:50] yay the fedora ppl patched easystroke so it compiles again on cpp11 :) [16:51] :p [16:52] * de-facto is totally addicted to mouse gestures on his desktop [16:55] wb [17:02] Wbar do you think about implementing a safety measure for dangerous Linux commands [17:03] it exists, called sudo [17:03] Billly: the user is responsible for doing stuff to his system [17:04] What's the point of antivirus then [17:04] billy-the-troll, that rm line does not work on ubuntu without sudo :-D [17:04] Okay so that's already a safety measure. [17:06] But there wont be any warnings. [17:07] Especially for new users who don't even know what sudi is [17:07] well. There *is* a warning. [17:08] There are scripts that can easily run the command [17:09] All it has to ask for is a passwoto install software xyz [17:17] for the record, 'rm' has had, for years, the default of '--preserve-root'. As such, when 'rm -rf /' is run, it will ask if you relly want to trash your system [17:18] of course, if you add an alias to 'rm' to pass '--no-preserve-root', then you are on your own [17:26] did billy went on a vacation? [17:29] he got bored and left [17:29] oh [17:29] well at least we got him out ubuntu [17:30] my login window on xenial has now an email icon, anyone noticed that? [17:31] perhaps notification of the unsolved bug from previous session [17:49] !info xchat precise [17:49] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.8-3ubuntu12.1 (precise), package size 345 kB, installed size 869 kB [17:54] i always liked the "similar to AmIRC" bit [17:54] i wonder if more than like 5 people have ever found that comparison useful [17:54] i dont even know that one [17:55] should i be ashamed? :p [17:55] i've never heard of it either, except for xchat's package description [17:56] oh, it's some amiga thing, that would be why [17:56] ahh [17:56] amiga500...those where the days [17:57] probably a relic from LjL :P [17:58] lol [17:58] it's about time Hexchat were said to be like xchat, then nothing for xchat :> [17:58] nah, it's from Debianland way back in the day [17:59] hmm? xchat? [17:59] i just mean based on the lack of updates making it more dead [17:59] was replying to the relic comment [17:59] !info hexchat [17:59] hexchat (source: hexchat): IRC client for X based on X-Chat 2. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.10.2-1ubuntu3 (xenial), package size 330 kB, installed size 932 kB [18:00] in 10 years... "what's an X-Chat" [18:00] haha [18:02] lol [18:02] not if i can help it [18:02] ii xchat 2.8.8-7.3ubuntu1 [18:02] the new xchat maintainer :p [18:09] dax: can you explain why #ubuntu doesnt allow colors, we were discussing this earlier [18:09] less laggy on much users? [18:09] because people use them to be annoying [18:09] same reason most channels have them disabled [18:09] and #ubuntu hardly needs more ways to troll [18:09] dax: just that reason? [18:10] i assume so, it's never been discussed as far as i know [18:10] wasnt there an option in the ircd config also to disable colors? [18:10] i thought it was about performance or something? [18:11] i don't know how it would have a performance impact, colors are just extra characters interpreted specially by clients [18:11] you still have the 512-character limit as usual [18:11] ok [18:11] dax: so with 2000 users using colors, wouldnt crash something [18:12] no [18:12] kk [18:12] freenode servers are, in general, massively underprovisioned [18:12] and colors aren't interpreted on the server anyway [18:12] i see [18:12] and i doubt rendering text in blue instead of black or whatever is gonna crash clients [18:13] i was trying to ask one of the staffers what would be required to donate a server, the other day [18:13] dax: we were discussing syntax highlithing as an idea, for support commands [18:14] kinda sounded like a VPS would even be enough [18:14] daftykins: the criteria are at https://freenode.net/support , in case they didn't link that already [18:14] yes, i had already read that [18:14] multi-homed networking tends to be the stumbling block [18:15] *nod* [18:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/index.html [18:22] nice one [18:25] lol [18:25] http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-tweak-is-now-officially-dead-and-buried-503672.shtml [18:25] RIP [18:26] Tualatrix is an ubuntu-hero :-) [18:44] bbl guys [20:59] Gonna go Mow grass for a spell .. back here later . [21:26] Nope. Mower did not start, flooded it ? Try again in a bit .
