| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 13:03 |
|---|---|---|
| pauljw_vm | hi BluesKaj | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | Hi pauljw_vm | 13:04 |
| pauljw_vm | :) | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | kvm-qemu? | 13:04 |
| pauljw_vm | virtualbox | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 13:09 |
| pauljw_vm | i did try kvm-qemu, but prefer vb. :) | 13:13 |
| OerHeks | what bank allows personel use mint? | 13:30 |
| DArqueBishop | OerHeks: that's just one of many things about his story that make me wonder if he's trolling us. | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | DArqueBishop, who's story ? | 13:35 |
| DArqueBishop | BluesKaj: pleaseeheelp in #ubuntu main. | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | DArqueBishop, perhaps , but I was having a similar problem with X a few days ago, but this was on yakkety | 13:37 |
| * DArqueBishop nods. | 13:38 | |
| OerHeks | oke, i am still on 15.10 too ... | 13:38 |
| OerHeks | :-D | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | never did figure out what it was , a reboot worked | 13:39 |
| BluesKaj | didn't bother with logs , there are so many little bugs happening | 13:39 |
| DArqueBishop | OerHeks: yeah, but 15.10 isn't EOL. ;-) | 13:40 |
| DArqueBishop | If I'm running a Linux distro on a laptop for work, you can be sure I'll be running a version that isn't EOL. | 13:41 |

| nacc | OerHeks: DArqueBishop: you've got a week :) | 15:38 |
| DArqueBishop | nacc: the Ubuntu VM I have running is 16.04. ;-) | 15:40 |
| nacc | DArqueBishop: :) | 15:40 |
| nacc | have we seen a lot more noise in #ubuntu today with 16.04.1 out? | 15:40 |
| DArqueBishop | It seems to be the same as before. | 15:48 |
| nacc | good :) | 15:49 |
| OerHeks | no real 14.04 upgrade issues yet, brace yourselves | 16:03 |
| pauljw_vm | just received my email from System76 advising me that 16.04.1 is now available and approved for upgrade. Not going to do it, but thought I'd pass that along... :) | 17:20 |
| Bashing-om | pauljw_vm: Yepper .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#Official_flavours . Awaiting all the mirror sites to sync up . | 17:22 |
| pauljw_vm | :) | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, today is upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 day, officially | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | 16.04.1 actually | 17:29 |
| Bashing-om | gonna wait some more to install 16.04.1 .. 1) Have not purchased the SSD, 2) Wait for the pounding on the servers to lessen . | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | rain, hail and wind warnings here...it's so dark I can barely read the KB | 17:31 |
| Bashing-om | Heber Springs, AR: Temp: 94 F (34 C) ~ Clear ~ Heat index: 110 F (43 C) ~ Humidity: 60% ~ Alert: Heat Advisory ~ Observed: Thu 21, 11:56 | 17:32 |
| BluesKaj | it was 29C , dropped to 25 very quickly | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | Bashing-om, ugh! | 17:33 |
| Bashing-om | The AC is my new best friend :) | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | yup, can't live without it | 17:35 |
| Bashing-om | BluesKaj: We are at the end of the power grid .. and there are those times there is no enough amperage left to run the AC .. yuk ! | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | Bashing-om, bummer :/ | 17:38 |
| ducasse | why is it that people who can't use a pastebin think they are qualified to 'tune' their systems? | 17:39 |
| pauljw_vm | lol | 17:40 |
| BluesKaj | we don't see temps much over 30C/87F | 17:40 |
| Bashing-om | Honestly, I had some experience with softwares when I migrated to (k)ubuntu; I have broke my 'buntus a bunch re-learning . | 17:43 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: remember when i started out with slackware, repeatedly broke my system in truly horrible ways - great learning experience :) | 17:45 |
| pauljw_vm | same when i started | 17:46 |
| ducasse | emptied out /dev once, that was fun. | 17:46 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: I also messed about with slackware as a server install .. - a friend introduced me to (k)ubuntu desktop .. I have never had other thoughts than 'buntu since . So much easier . | 17:48 |
| ducasse | agree, it's a lot more streamlined. i still love slackware, though. | 17:49 |
| pauljw_vm | i couldn't get thru my thick skull the importance of sticking with what was in the repos... broke pclinuxos so many times i can't count, then i learned how to build from source and was able to play without total destruction. built vmware and have been hooked on vm's ever since. | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | .discovered kubuntu in 2005 , stuck with the kde desktop ever since , even on other distros | 17:50 |
| Bashing-om | Me minimalistic minded .. KISS .. Only have what I use .. and use what I have . | 17:51 |
| pauljw_vm | nothin' wrong with that | 17:52 |
| EriC^^ | hi | 17:53 |
| EriC^^ | all | 17:53 |
| Bashing-om | Thus far, I have been fortunate .. or unlucky .. Have yet to have the need in 'buntu to compile from source . | 17:53 |
| pauljw_vm | hey EriC^^ | 17:53 |
| EriC^^ | hey pauljw_vm :) | 17:54 |
| pauljw_vm | Bashing-om, i haven't either | 17:54 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^ EriC^^ , he's our man .., comes to EFI booting ... if he can not do it .. no one can . | 17:55 |
| EriC^^ | lol Bashing-om | 17:55 |
| EriC^^ | you are great poet | 17:55 |
| Bashing-om | pauljw_vm: I have grown to learn .. installed applications .. if there is a need " it's in the repo " . | 17:56 |
| EriC^^ | a little exaggerative but poetic and nice, ty | 17:56 |
| BluesKaj | hey EriC^^ keeping the new recruits happy ? | 17:57 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Plagurized (sp) .. I think I can get away with that in this instance . | 17:57 |
| pauljw_vm | Bashing-om, i agree, linux has come a long way in the last decade. | 17:57 |
| EriC^^ | BluesKaj: not really, i haven't been that active in the channel lately though i miss it | 17:58 |
| BluesKaj | EriC^^, guess I should have said, new recruits in #ubuntu | 18:01 |
| EriC^^ | BluesKaj: yeah that's what i meant :) | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | ok :-) | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | been mucking about with a rpi 3 here, can't make up my mind what to use it for ...mostly experimentation with different OSs so far, but nothing really grabs my interest up to this point | 18:04 |
| ducasse | BluesKaj: did you look at riscos? i thought it was kind of charming :) (in a retro way) | 18:06 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps make it a kodi box, but my vpn .ovpn config files error out and I don't want the exposure that the addons give your IP | 18:07 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, was checking riscos yesterday but it's over a yr old | 18:08 |
| ducasse | BluesKaj: they're probably short on developers.. | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | librelec isn't nearly as good at connecting to sites , over 80% of them fail | 18:10 |
| ducasse | i use an rpi2 for kodi, too bad about lack of h.265 support, though. | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | kodi by itselfd is much better in my experience | 18:10 |
| ducasse | what do you run kodi on? ubuntu? | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | I'm thinking of going back to raspbian with kodion it | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | I had kodi on kubuntu for a while, but it really is a clunky app IMO | 18:13 |
| ducasse | i've been thinking of some sort of minimal setup with just autologin + kodi, but openelec works well enough so far. | 18:14 |
| BluesKaj | i prefer to use a vpn with kodi ,. sure hope I can fix that version problem I have with .ovpn files on raspbian | 18:17 |
| ducasse | i can get that, but mine just reads files from my zfs server. | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | I just wanrt kodi for internrt tv feeds , i prefer to have direct access to te outboard media filed drive. | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | files | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | ...it's dark in here the thunderclouds are sticking around | 18:31 |
| OerHeks | feel the force, luke | 18:34 |
| ducasse | i rarely use kodi for internet tv, but it seems to work. we were expecting thunder here from today and out the week, but it's still fine.. | 18:35 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: Buy them books, send them to school ( tan2 )... and what do they do ??? | 18:38 |
| pauljw_vm | eat the covers... | 18:41 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: this is like pulling teeth... | 18:41 |
| Bashing-om | Yeah ,, got one similar on the forum .. been 3 days just to get an edit to grub . | 18:49 |
| ducasse | "just autostart it from the openbox config" - "what?" | 18:51 |
| ducasse | wth do you mean, "what"? | 18:51 |
| ducasse | it's like trying to tell my cat not to walk on the keyboard. | 18:51 |
| ducasse | ...and then he just left. | 18:55 |
| OerHeks | bye cat | 18:55 |
| ducasse | :) | 18:55 |
| OerHeks | upgrade disappears, yeah right | 18:56 |
| ducasse | much like the famous "i did nothing, this just happened" | 18:58 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: I go through the trouble to hunt up a opennox tutorial, and come back .. gone ! .. sheeshhh . Oh well . | 18:59 |
| ducasse | Bashing-om: me too, i was just about to paste link on openbox autostart... | 19:00 |
| Bashing-om | Good exercise, I reckon .. | 19:01 |
| ducasse | people _really_ don't like being told to rtfm, but in some cases that is the answer they need. | 19:01 |
| Bashing-om | Well .. gotta go to town .. be back soonest to the keyboard .. pick this back up then . | 19:03 |
| ducasse | have fun :) | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | ok , switching to my stable install ...brb | 19:12 |
| nacc | Ben64: sorry for their rudeness | 20:30 |
| Ben64 | who? | 20:30 |
| nacc | Ben64: bulletxt|2 | 20:31 |
| Ben64 | ah | 20:31 |
| Ben64 | people think upgrades are magical and will never cause anything to break | 20:31 |
| nacc | yep | 20:32 |
| Ben64 | i wouldn't want to put myself through 10.04 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 16.04 right now | 20:32 |
| ducasse | Ben64: that sounds like an excellent opportunity for a fresh install... | 20:34 |
| Ben64 | that was my suggestion exactly | 20:35 |
| OerHeks | it would prove reliability | 20:40 |
| daftykins | are we finding 16.04's issues to have calmed down yet? | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | sure, only unusual man-made-issues tonight | 21:22 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:25 |
| ducasse | daftykins: $deity, sometimes i really want to do what got you banned. | 21:25 |
| daftykins | XD | 21:26 |
| daftykins | i like to use Tux in place of that variable :) | 21:26 |
| ducasse | daftykins: some people are just impossible to get through to, and it's worse when they hardly speak english... | 21:29 |
| daftykins | mmm, it might sound bias but i don't even touch the ones that are a foreign language speaker, or worse yet translating IRC. | 21:30 |
| ducasse | daftykins: i'm not a native english speaker myself :) but some people can't express themselves in english at all, but insist on using the english channel and get angry when you don't understand them. | 21:32 |
| daftykins | *nod* i really meant those that show a lack of ability | 21:33 |
| daftykins | those that learn English as a foreign language probably know it better than the native speakers | 21:33 |
| Bashing-om | ducasse: Menawhile .. 2 weeks later : https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2329956 .. My patience is wearing real thin . I gather myself .. and try try again . | 21:34 |
| * daftykins takes a glance | 21:35 | |
| daftykins | Bashing-om: i like your avatar :D | 21:36 |
| daftykins | my my, that is a messy one | 21:39 |
| daftykins | "i did all these things, then there were colours on the screen and now i'm scared... hold me?" | 21:39 |
| ducasse | :-D | 21:40 |
| daftykins | yep i think the forums would be more stressful than IRC, they go off and do things themselves and you get to guess and pick up the pieces each time! | 21:41 |
| ducasse | argh, i give up on this guy. it's like talking to a brick wall _while_ having teeth pulled. | 21:43 |
| daftykins | that is a skilled dentist | 21:43 |
| ducasse | now he's claiming that his i-want-to-do-something-very-unusual problem is ubuntu's fault, not his config's... | 21:44 |
| OerHeks | cry cry " i dont have physical access i only have shell access" | 21:45 |
| daftykins | XD | 21:45 |
| OerHeks | 1st time on your bicycle was scary too, no? | 21:46 |

| daftykins | wow just finished that thread, that guy does not follow at all | 21:50 |
| daftykins | my palm would be so worn from all the facepalming | 21:51 |
| ducasse | i couldn't read it all, too frustrating. you're a bigger person than me, Bashing-om | 21:51 |
| daftykins | same here | 21:51 |
| daftykins | he has the patience of a saint! | 21:52 |
| ducasse | now this guy wants to use x applications, but he refuses to install a wm... | 21:55 |
| daftykins | "damn it ducasse, i want my cake and i want to eat it - too!" | 21:55 |
| ducasse | daftykins: and when i ask why, he answers 'because'. | 21:56 |
| OerHeks | ducasse, all that efford for avoiding a wm ... | 21:57 |
| ducasse | "i refuse to say what i want, but i insist you fix it!" | 21:57 |
| * daftykins chuckles | 21:57 | |
| daftykins | time to throw that fish back in the river | 21:57 |
| daftykins | let the bears further down have a go ;) | 21:57 |
| ducasse | i've got to go to bed anyway, two minutes till midnight, and i was up early. | 21:58 |
| daftykins | sleep well! | 22:00 |
| daftykins | i wish you pleasant dreams of cooperative helpees | 22:00 |
| ducasse | thanks :) ttyl. | 22:00 |
