* zmoylan-pi breaks open the nerf cabinet and locks and loads the shotgun....17:12
daftykins:D17:13
daftykinsthese silly iPad things are proving to be more difficult than they should be, after spending a while cleaning up the remaining adhesive from the last ones edges... with acetone... the newly affixed screen is fine on 3 sides, but not on half of the last one :/17:14
daftykinstotally usable, but not my idea of a professional job17:14

daftykinsi've gotta nail this! :)18:01
zmoylan-pifingers crossed....18:03
daftykinsyep18:04
daftykinsanywho, got a nice working internet connection over WiMAX set up down in the south of Spain :) 20/6 Mb18:05
zmoylan-pibut you have to learn to not be a perfectionist... that way can lead to madness... :-) http://v022o.popscreen.com/QTE2dUlpc0xIcTgx_o_father-ted--theres-a-dent-in-the-car.jpg18:06
daftykinswell it doesn't matter for my mate who owns these, as she's getting it done practically at cost... but her boss was going to go into a local co. and pay £150 for his to be done18:07
daftykinsi offered £100 for the same, but if i did it and a side was popping up, it wouldn't be very professional :)18:07
zmoylan-piof course if their toaster breaks down in the next 10 years it'll be your fault as you fixed their ipad... :-P18:08
daftykins:D absolutely18:08
daftykinsi put in a new router for the cleaner lady of a client, next day her roommate's TV stopped working, as did the whole building... turned out a whole island transmitter had gone down, but naturally i got the blame from her roommate XD18:09

loptaHow hard is it to configure Ubuntu (Ubuntu Server?) as a simple file server for some Windows desktops?21:16
daftykinsdepends if you're referring to a workplace setup with permissions21:17
daftykinshome use? configure and go21:17
loptadaftykins: It's replacing a server with a single share and about 121 Gbytes of document files21:20
loptamore or less r/w for everyone.21:20
loptaI wouldn't ordinarily consider Linux for this but I've hit a roadblock.21:20
daftykinsoh?21:21
daftykinsi've got a large RAID setup with ubuntu server 14.04, sharing to a couple of users21:21
* lopta nods21:21
daftykinssometimes seem to find permissions hassles between the two so i haven't perfected it, but it does the job mostly21:22
loptaThis server has RAID but I can put it in jbod mode if that helps.21:22
daftykinstotally depends how comfy you are with the install really, the one i have RAID on i run the OS from a single disk so it's totally out of the equation21:24
MooDooevening all21:59
SebthreeBQM10HD 22:05
loptaHello MooDoo22:06
SebthreeBQM10HDhi is there some kind of app or something that can open up22:06
SebthreeBQM10HDand I guess even extarct22:06
SebthreeBQM10HDextract22:06
SebthreeBQM10HDtar .gz es22:07
SebthreeBQM10HDtar gz files22:07
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: Yes.22:08
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: How large is your .tar.gz file?22:08
SebthreeBQM10HDlopta, uhmm dont know its got images in it though22:09
SebthreeBQM10HDwhat can I open that up with properly22:09
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: I'd make a copy of the file somewhere, so that you can go back to it if you need to...22:09
SebthreeBQM10HDlopta, uh I thught this was the ubuntu touch channel22:09
SebthreeBQM10HDI guess not22:09
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: ...then you can gunzip it and untar it using the command line.22:10
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: I have no idea about Ubuntu Touch.22:10
SebthreeBQM10HDlopta, command line stuff might work with ubuntu touch hmm22:10
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: ...I've never even seen it.22:10
daftykinsyeah, sadly Seb is tricking us with touch talk22:10
daftykinsSebthreeBQM10HD: also, not sure we need to know what you're on in your name :P22:10
SebthreeBQM10HDno22:11
SebthreeBQM10HDnot quite22:11
SebthreeBQM10HDjust the client had this channel on some kind of auto join22:11
SebthreeBQM10HDI thought I was messaging in the other channel22:11
daftykinshmm not a very good client if it doesn't say :)22:12
SebthreeBQM10HDdaftykins, whatever to the name thing, for now it's interesting having one of those devices,  even though for cerain things and maybe opening up tar gz files and extracting images that's one of them to for now,  a  standard linux distro would be better22:12
SebthreeBQM10HDit did say  but  that's two channels with ubuntu in the name22:12
SebthreeBQM10HDand  x chat gnome isnt that good anyway :d22:13
daftykinsbit of a teenage response?22:13
SebthreeBQM10HDdefault one you get to try liberitne22:13
SebthreeBQM10HDI prefer konversation otherwise22:13
daftykinsg'night all \o22:13
* SebthreeBQM10HD might have to go up stairs and use the computer to do what wanted to do uh, but it's probably hardly even worth going up the stairs for the computer to do that22:14
daftykinsdo those things really not have a terminal?22:14
SebthreeBQM10HDdaftykins, I dohave the terminal app installed, but not sure the commands to deal with tar.gz22:16
SebthreeBQM10HDbut yes may be able to extract it on the command line22:17
SebthreeBQM10HDprobably could do that22:17
SebthreeBQM10HDbut as I put I don't know the commands22:17
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: gunzip foo.tar.gz&&tar xvf foo.tar22:17
lopta(probably)22:18
SebthreeBQM10HDgunzip hmm is that something thats meant to be installed or on a normal system anyway?22:18
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: On Linux? I would hope so but I could easily be mistaken.22:18
SebthreeBQM10HDwhat is gunzip sounds vaguely familr, but I am not sure22:18
loptaGNU Unzip, iirc.22:19
SebthreeBQM10HDoh right ok22:19
SebthreeBQM10HDlopta, ok so cd into the directory I guess, and use the command you gave me except for changing foo to the name of the file I guess?22:19
* lopta nods22:20
* SebthreeBQM10HD has been trying to do most things with Ubuntu Tablet for a few weeks now that would otherwise be using a computer for, and well so far so good, but I haven't been doing any virtualisation recently for example so of course22:20
loptaSebthreeBQM10HD: Like I said, make a copy of the .tar.gz file first.22:20
SebthreeBQM10HDwell it's just some images I want to extract so I can hoepfully get my vote in on that :d22:21
SebthreeBQM10HDin time22:21
SebthreeBQM10HDthe images are in a tar .gz22:21
SebthreeBQM10HDyour command makes a copy?22:21
SebthreeBQM10HDlopta, ok thanks for your help or attempted help :), but I have found or figured out another way to do what I waned that worked :D22:27
SebthreeBQM10HDlike a eureka moment even in a way22:27
SebthreeBQM10HDI guess22:28
SebthreeBQM10HDlopta, for some reason even though the Ubuntu devices are aimed currently only really at developers and early adopters, they do not come with a terminal by default right,  but also a file manager.  but there is one in the app store I just installed it, and there was an extract option22:29
SebthreeBQM10HDoh that person is gone just left22:29
* SebthreeBQM10HD is leaving this channel now as well22:30
SebthreeBQM10HD 23:03
