[17:31] <Pici> oh, that reminds me I need to go vote after work.

[21:42] <k1l> HappyHobo> I realize I will be banned and I expect that.  I respect that decision but before I do I want to apologize.
[21:42] <k1l> anyone knows what is going on?

[21:45] <bazhang_> not xubuntu
 I need to be banned.
[21:46] <bazhang_> cry for help
[21:47] <k1l> @comment 22888
[21:47] <k1l> was already an issue in 2010
[21:48] <bazhang_> not even asked any questions that I can see
[21:49] <elky> in 2010? they did
[21:50] <elky> also 2010 is like 6 years ago. 2 bans in 6 years is hardly a pattern
[21:59] <hggdh> well, apt and aptitude have different heuristics to resolve dependencies. Which one is better is anyone's guess. But every time I had to rely on aptitude's dependency resolution I got mad.
[21:59] <ikonia> didn't aptitude get pulled as a default install component
[22:00] <ikonia> couldn't handle multi-lib and had some problems with optional dependencies
[22:00] <hggdh> I *think* so. But I still use synaptics, for example
[22:00] <Unit193> hggdh: Perhaps you mean 'pkg:synaptic' and not 'pkg:synaptics'?
[22:01] <Jordan_U> hggdh: You install software using your touchpad drivers?
[22:01] <k1l> yep, aptitude was kicked as installed package due to multiarch issues. but they say they fixed that
[22:01] <hggdh> Unit193: ugh! indeed.. A package installed against a touchpad...
[22:01] <ikonia> I'm sure they have, it was a while ago
[22:02] <hggdh> Jordan_U: not the drivers, the touchpad itself (it is magic)
[22:03] <bazhang> I wonder if #ubuntu is the best place for the extended merits discussion
[22:06] <hggdh> bazhang: it borders the opinion range, so it is probably more indicated to -offtopic or -discuss
[22:07] <bazhang> hggdh, agreed, but happyhobo has been asked to stop chatting and insists its part of support
[22:08] <bazhang> perhaps a decade ago
[22:14] <hggdh> oh tempora, oh mores
[22:15] <bazhang> moderatin is hurtin the communiteh!
[22:15] <hggdh> mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
[22:16] <bazhang> you had me at mea
[22:16] <hggdh> heh
[22:16] <hggdh> translation (a very free one): my bad, my bad, really my bad
[22:17] <bazhang> yep latin
