lubotu3Ubuntu bug 1183692 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Not enough disk space for kernel security update on /boot" [Undecided,Confirmed]10:12
Myrttigood few duplicates10:13
Myrttiannoying as I thought that this was already automated and made the /boot quite small to save space on my SSD10:14
Myrttiand now I have to clear the old kernels after every security update :-<10:14
Myrttiwell, every other10:14
popey:(10:15
foobarryold kernels are supposed to get removed but occasionally it gets stuffed up for some reason10:17
zmoylan-pito remind linux users of why the command line is important :-)10:26
brobostigonany computer user for that matter, fundemental knowledge is good, :)10:29
zmoylan-piand adds to geek cred when you do all your computing from console... :-)10:30
Myrttiyou're telling me I'm doing it wrong with synaptic?10:31
brobostigonor you decide to do mathematics from a python console.10:31
zmoylan-pisynaptic is ok if you're updating your linux system with mouse while on coffee break... true multitasking... :-)10:32
brobostigonisnt that what tmux is for? multitasking.10:33

Myrttizmoylan-pi: I just get frustrated by trying to find the bits I need to remove with any other tools10:41
zmoylan-pii think it was first thing i installed when i first played with my rasp pi.  a nice gui to find/install/remove apps.10:43
Myrttiahhahhahahhaha you know what's super funny10:45
MyrttiI just realised I've not rebooted since the last kernel update10:45
Myrtti:-<10:45
zmoylan-piit's not windows with random and constant non optional reboots you know :-)10:46
Myrttiso I can't remove the old kernel with synaptic because I'm actually using it10:46
* Myrtti facepalms10:46
zmoylan-picould be worse, it could force it's removal... like sawing off a branch you're sitting on... :-)10:47

foobarry:)14:16
davmor2man that's not good we are only meant to be here to hinder not help damn it ;)14:17
foobarrywhere did you go BigRedS14:17
bamboobearhey &_&14:28
davmor2bamboobear: hello14:29
bamboobearHow's it going ^_^14:30
davmor2meh14:30
davmor2and you14:30
bamboobearNot too bad. feeling a bit crappy today as I've been rushed off my feet for almost a month straight haha :)14:31
Myrttioooo Radiohead's In Rainbows on Spotify, finally14:32
davmor2Myrtti: ooooo get you and modern music ;)14:33
Myrttiwell I can't listen to Elton John's 70s stuff, Beatles and Joni Mitchell all the time either14:34
popeyjust sparked up spotify and New Order, Blue Monday came on, so volume to ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ 100%14:36
davmor2Myrtti: why? /me head explodes as the can not compute loop goes into overdrive14:36
davmor2popey: \m/14:36
bamboobearOf course, Blue Monday should NEVER be played at anything less than 75% (you know... cos some speakers just explode sometimes haha)14:36
Myrttibecause after 20 years of repeat listening it stops being as stimulating14:37
popeyyeah.14:37
popeya song came on yesterday which gave me goosebumps and i cant for the life of me remember what it was or when I last heard it14:38
popeyyou lose that when you listen to them all the time14:38
davmor2popey: follow up blue monday with gangsters paradise14:39
popeyI dont choose next song :)14:39
popeythe spotify elves do that14:39
davmor2no I choose it for you :P14:39
popeyhah14:40
popeyyou're no elf14:40
* davmor2 selotapes his ear tips and holds a bow and arrow 14:41
* Switches Has a Nightelf in WoW does that count?14:41
popeyhttp://www.last.fm/user/popeydc as you can see, spotify chosing some odd tracks :)14:50
davmor2popey: I can go with the first 3 they're all similar but yes?14:53
popeylove yes14:53
popeyit was a break-up song for me uh... nearly 20 years ago14:54
popeywow, I'm old14:54
davmor2popey: even oldererer than me so that is ancient :P14:54
davmor2popey: yes is a great track just doesn't really gel with the upbeat other songs :)14:55
popey 😃14:56
popeynot upbeat, but loud14:56
davmor2popey: I'm surprised they didn't go with Sonique It Feels so Good then follow it up with weapon of choice then maybe switch over to Moby porcelain15:01
davmor2popey: just sayin'15:02
davmor2popey: and of course everything leads back to Zombie in the end15:05
BigRedSfoobarry: changed desks, couldn't have IRC open all day16:13
BigRedSwell, and I stopped using Ubuntu, but that's not really a reason to stop hanging out in here16:14
popeyhello BigRedS, not seen you for ages16:17
BigRedSAh, hello! Yeah, I ended up with a fairly overlooked desk16:18
popeyheh16:19
daftykinsBigRedS: which dark side have you moved to?16:25
diddledan__use the sauce16:26
BigRedSdaftykins: only back to debian16:27
diddledan__blashpemer!16:28
BigRedSwas crunchbang, now bunsen labs. Unity annoyed me, and bunsenlabs really really didn't :)16:28
diddledan__:-p16:28
BigRedShaha16:28
bashrcnowt wrong with debian16:29
diddledan__at least it's not suse16:29
* diddledan__ ducks16:29
bashrcor arch16:29
BigRedShaha, our resident arch fanboi jabbered me earlier to say that the font's drawn him back to Ubuntu and he quite likes it now16:30
popeyWe love all distros :)16:30
diddledan__is bunsenlabs pretty out-of-the-box with loads of ott eyecandy though? if not then it's not worth looking at :-p16:30
popeyahem https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/06/14/universal-snap-packages-launch-on-multiple-linux-distros/16:30
BigRedSdiddledan__: it has no wobbly windows, which is a major issue16:31
diddledan__popey: yeah I saw the headline but haven't had a chance to read about it yet16:31
* BigRedS echoes diddledan__ . Sounds really good (and hilariously overdue) though16:31
diddledan__yeeks : Snaps now work natively on Arch, Debian, Fedora, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Unity, and Xubuntu. They are currently being validated on CentOS, Elementary, Gentoo, Mint, OpenSUSE, OpenWrt and RHEL16:32
diddledan__that's a lot of namedropping16:33
bashrcsnaps on all the things!16:33
BigRedSyeah, though it seems cheeky to list all the *buntus separately :)16:33

foobarry BigRedS i got a 3M privacy filter for meetings. my colleagues are so jealous18:55
ali1234foobarry: i thought you were making a joke about sticking a post-it note on your webcam19:03
ali1234but no... http://solutions.3m.co.uk/wps/portal/3M/en_GB/3m-privacy-and-protection/-/19:03
daftykins:D19:05
foobarryyeah a polaroid for my screen. evokes much more jeaousy than it should19:06
foobarrybut it lets me do anything during meetings19:06
ali1234unless someone else has sunglasses?19:06
foobarryalthough my meeting attendance is only at around 2 per week max at the moment because i'm a getting things done kind of guy19:06
popeyjust put a post-it on my webcam and opened cheese to test. http://imgur.com/KU7vg6m19:07
foobarryalso got it for free :D19:07
popeyI might enter that in an ubuntu wallpaper contest19:07
ali1234lol19:07
daftykinsi heard you can use filters to get around a lot of common 'mods' :)19:07
diddledan__popey: you forgot to censure it19:08
foobarrythe viewing angle is something like 15 degrees from the centre pt19:09
foobarryi keep forgetting while demoing stuff to ppl19:09
daftykins:D19:10
daftykinsso you can't even rest your head in your chin to the side!19:10
daftykinser, head in your hand :|19:10
foobarrylol19:10
daftykinsyes, us our islanders are built funny ;)19:10
foobarryhoping to watch the england match tomorrow19:11
foobarrysomeone arranged a conf call and app upgrade for the aftenoon though19:11
foobarryhow would i approach finding similar named files in a directory?19:13
foobarrylets say i had Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers guide to galaxy19:13
foobarryand The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Douglas Adams19:14
foobarryetc etc19:14
foobarrymultiple copies of various files19:14
foobarrya kind of fuzzy search that finds matches on longer words19:14
foobarryhmm perl has a fuzzy module, somebody must have done this already.19:15
ali1234i would do something like split each filename on alphanumeric characters, put the result into a set, and then compare every pair for matches19:15
foobarrygood idea19:15
ali1234fuzzy search might not get your example, it's more about misspellings19:15
ali1234but for that there is mgrep19:15
foobarryor arrange each word alphabeatically19:15
ali1234or is it agrep?19:15
ali1234putting them in a set kind of does that19:15
ali1234in python... sets are the fastest way to compute "how many in set a are in set b?"19:16
ali1234internally they items are hashed into some kind of order (not exposed, but still speeds up the operation) - this is in contrast to a list19:16

foobarry The Tempest- William Shakespeare.mobi19:18
foobarryShakespeare, William - The Tempest.mobi19:18
foobarryWilliam Shakespeare - The Tempest.mobi19:18
foobarrylol19:18
ali1234they would all match 100% under my proposed scheme :)19:19
foobarrycalibre has a dupe finder19:19
ali1234to be honest unless you have like a million books it would be easier to do it by hand than to write a new piece of software to do it19:19
foobarryaha19:20
foobarrylets see if hashes are the same19:21
foobarrybingo19:21
ali1234there are a few apps that will do that for you19:21
ali1234but strangely none of them seem to be packaged in ubuntu19:22
ali1234also i forgot what they are called19:22
ali1234i remember finding one that will just replace dupes by hardlinks19:22
foobarryhttp://doubles.sourceforge.net/19:22
ali1234i don't think that was the one i used, but there are lots19:22
foobarryugh it doesn't work anyway19:26
foobarrybash script ahoy19:26
foobarryah, fdupes19:28
ali1234that sounds familiar19:28
