[08:42] Morning [08:43] Today's annoyance ; running 16.04.1 on a Dell 5510 - the GUI libraries are drawing artefacts that look like stuck pixels [08:44] There's one in the menu bar when it draws the menu (other workspaces are clean until you also draw a menu on those) [08:44] Firefox also has one in the tab near the close button (but only when you maximise the window) [08:46] Tried nouveau and nv, both do it, so I suspect it's to do with the libraries [08:48] awilkins: and that right there is why the Conservatives are trying to close the Libraries ;) [09:21] Good morning all! Happy Wednesday, and happy Lazy Lion Day! 😃 ♌ === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [10:05] JamesTait: can only be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WScEJKNMdgI [10:08] 80s cheese at its best! [10:09] JamesTait: indeedly doodly [10:14] dammit we have a nedfestation... [11:25] yay [13:15] m00 [13:15] o hai [13:37] Morning All! [13:37] hello BigRedS_ [13:37] Ooh, I've acquired an underscore, maybe it has been too long... [13:38] you've grown a tail! [13:38] nice tail :) [13:38] is it a tail or a no-tail? [13:39] tail -f [13:40] So, yeah, what've I missed? :) [13:41] apart from apparently losing an irc client instance somewhere [13:55] aha! Found it! [13:56] lol, find the irc client [13:56] how many boxes do you have that you can't remember where your irc is? :-p [13:56] :> [13:56] diddledan: I know that story [13:57] that reminds me of that bash.org quote [13:57] "i have a box, responds to ping, but i can't find it" [13:57] turns out i forgot all about a rasp py i tucked behind the tv [13:57] that moment you need to DDos your own gear [13:57] lmao [13:57] er what [13:57] haha, yeah, we set up wifi monitoring here, to discover rogue wifi hotspots that people might set up [13:57] unplugging has an amazingly high effective rate [13:57] and then weren't really sure what we could do once we'd identified one. How do you tell where it is? [13:58] so your APs are reporting finding them? [13:58] well it hasn't yet in anger [13:58] you could set-up one of those fake access points that hackers use [14:00] diddledan: i know you're in a darkened room with shades on at your PC [14:00] daftykins: my curtains are closed! [14:00] s/shades/sunglasses [14:00] so yes, it's a darkened room :-p [14:00] curtains closed, lights off [14:01] sunglasses on [14:17] Fires up hackertyper ! [14:17] lul === davmor2_ is now known as davmor2 === brmbrmcar is now known as racmrbmrb === racmrbmrb is now known as brmbrmcar [14:42] * diddledan grabs brmbrmcar and vrooms it like a dinkytoy [14:42] vroom vroom [14:42] do they still make dinkytoys? or matchbox? [14:47] ugh post office etc refuse to ship phone batteries now, amazed how i got this thing in the first place, but now couriers want £11 to send it [14:47] :-( [14:47] sucky nuts [14:49] a NZ guy had the same issues recently as he was trying to get some ecig batteries shipped over from China or something like that, nobody will do it [14:49] somehow he's got some stuck in England now XD [14:49] not quite sure on that route... [14:55] mostly chinese hotwheels now [15:01] yeah, we couldn't ship a tablet to India recently, nobody would take it [15:01] seems DPD were ok with taking it up to England by ship, but for £11 [15:03] how do the phone companies do it I wonder? [15:04] this one seems to have used Hermes, which don't really have a rep over here, just a person in a van [15:50] ooh, teaser trailer for resident evil the final chapter has been released [15:51] https://youtu.be/jbtmW3ydOkU?t=7 [16:08] Good morning peeps :) [17:09] Goood Morning! [17:09] Morning? Huh? [17:10] it's morning somewhere... [17:11] I guess... [17:11] in half of the places! [17:12] and some places have enough people doing night shifts that fast food places do a 24hour breakfast service === davmor2 is now known as davmor2_Hols [19:45] morning [19:45] howdy [19:46] :-o davmor2_Hols has gone away?! what will we do without a song-for-the-day?! [19:46] We'll have to find one ourselves [19:48] I am happy. Ressurected my Palm T|X, and jpilot works just fine at syncing [20:23] * zmoylan-pi breaks out the kazoos and vocal guides for klingon battle chants... :-) [20:47] howdy all [20:49] o/ [20:49] :) [21:02] greetings [21:02] carbon based lifeforms... [21:03] i come with peas [21:03] mushy? [21:03] not my cup of coffee, them [21:03] ditto, i much prefer marrowfat [21:08] never met the guy! [21:08] :D [21:10] he nearly brought peas to the mid east... :-P [21:14] i'm green with envy [21:15] and me just after posting kermits it's not easy been green in another channel... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpiIWMWWVco [21:16] \o/ [21:23] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DykDOkyE5ME [21:24] someones suction cup climbing Trump Tower! [21:24] spiderman less the bitten by radioactive spider... [21:42] hrmm got an old server setup to mess with, but i can't think of much to do :) [21:46] install novell \o/ :-) [21:46] ;) [21:46] right now it's a desktop motherboard with 4GB RAM, a core 2 duo and a 40GB value SSD with ubuntu server 14.04 on it [21:47] novell would snot along on that [21:47] also got one of my fave 3ware 3Gb/sec SATA RAID controllers in there, 8 port i think [21:48] this guy is making such slow progress... [21:52] while I was faffing about with my second box the other night I managed to cut a finger. no pc surgery is complete unless you spill a ton of blood [21:53] plus, the blood appeases the gods [21:53] no blood sacrifice, the job is unfinished [21:55] i always felt that way with new builds :D [21:55] I didn't even feel it, but my finger was covered in blood when I pulled it out \o/ [21:55] the trick is to make it so some other staff member makes the blood sacrifice... [21:58] but it's how i leave my mark on the world! [21:59] i've been very careful since my first job in a shop with a deli counter and meat slicer... been told that this machine will cut you at some point. everyone cuts themselves on it... [22:00] :D [22:00] high staff turnover and in the 8 months i was there i saw about 20 people cut themselves on it... that bugger didn't mess around [22:01] came close but i was the first never to draw blood on it... === Chunkyz_ is now known as BobDylan === BobDylan is now known as YaM0M [22:29] those things are lethal [22:30] yeah, i kinda got to know what the scream of a person cutting the tip of their finger off versus someone cutting down to the bone was [22:30] :S [22:30] wonder if metal tipped gloves exist :) [22:31] pretty much the same reaction though, run in with kitchen towel roll or toilet roll to staunch the blood [22:32] so how'd you stay away from that duty? :) [22:32] then trying to nonchantly discretely clean the machine and not allow any meat cut till that was done while people impatiently wanted 2 slices of corn beef while someone was standing there with a hand wrapped in bandages waiting for lift to hospital [22:34] i was stock room person as i rotated stock correctly unlike most... this had it's own icky duty... been handed a shovel and been asked to take out the mouse the owner stamped to death... [22:40] :( [22:40] stock rotation on shelves is a pig [22:40] i did that once i became legal employment age! [22:40] but it has to be done [22:41] especially for things like milk, bread [22:41] yep [22:41] i've seen some lately where it seems they don't bother === YaM0M is now known as Chunkyz [22:41] milk was the most annoying i think :) [22:42] what annoyed me most about milk was when i was in there's never be more than 2-3 dates on the milk in the fridge but if i took a day or two off it was chaotic when i got back and it would take 2-3 days to get it all back in line [22:43] oof! no standards in folk - i had much the same with keeping racks tidy in a server room [22:44] now i make sure everyone sees my hammer collection and let their imagination work out what i'll do to them if they muck up my neat and tidy system... [22:44] darpa's cyber grand challenge video: https://youtu.be/n0kn4mDXY6I [22:44] (2.5 hours) [22:45] it's a fully-automated capture-the-flag [23:08] too long :< [23:39] diddledan: poor stack canaries :( [23:46] Hello people, anyone knows how to upgrade 10.04 to 16.04? [23:46] clean install [23:46] no other approach would be sane [23:47] daftykins is there any way I could do that without the use of CDs or USBs? Sadly I have none available to me [23:48] why? [23:48] what are the circumstances surrounding this odd scenario? [23:48] daftykins Cannot for the love of god find CD/DVDs and for some reason the PC just won't boot off of any USB stick [23:48] it's from like 2006 [23:49] is this thing a production server [23:49] ? [23:49] nope, just an old home desktop that doesn't have good win10 drivers [23:50] *for graphics [23:50] why's it running 10.04 though? that's ancient [23:50] so it's throwing 4:3 onto a 16:9 [23:50] Yeah, that was the last time I used a CD to burn an iso :L [23:50] !ab [23:50] blech [23:50] I know, sad times... [23:51] i know how to do it [23:51] you have to point the updater at oldrelease [23:51] no, your first question was the wrong question, you asked how to do what you're thinking - not the actual task [23:51] then upgrade to 12.04 [23:51] then after you have done that you can upgrade to 16.04 [23:51] and because do-release-upgrade runs in a weird screen it won't read me the read the whole log so I can't even try fix it [23:52] ali1234 did that, got 550 packages, but after that can't do-rel [23:52] if you installed without a separate /boot, you can download a 16.04.1 ISO and put it in /boot and boot it directly from GRUB [23:52] daftykins sorry, don't get what you're saying..? [23:52] Hmmmmmmmm that's a good idea [23:52] are you running do-release-upgrade on ssh? [23:53] ali1234 nope local [23:53] or perhaps a PLOP ISO can be booted from GRUB and then you could chainload your flash drive of 16.04 [23:53] both methods avoid sitting waiting for entire upgrades through the releases [23:54] daftykins do you think you could point me to a how-to on how to boot from an iso through grub? [23:54] i'd be starting at google, so i might as well remove the middle man and let you do it direct [23:54] !ddg boot iso from grub [23:54] flying_sausages: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:55] https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html [23:55] come to think of it, perhaps GRUB can be directly instructed how to pass over to the USB, too [23:55] I believe it can do both [23:56] daftykins ah sweet, so I can skip this dumb-ass bios! [23:56] if you have a floppy drive and a separate PC you could even do an etherboot [23:56] i've a feeling you've just misconfigured it, but yeah probably [23:56] in my experience those always require more troubleshooting to even get going [23:57] flying_sausages: what's this graphics card btw? [23:57] also why'd you come here instead of #ubuntu ? [23:57] I'm guessing an AGP unit [23:57] daftykins let me check [23:57] Well, rooms with 2000 users have a bit of a different dynamic than rooms with 93 :p [23:57] Thanks so much for the help! [23:58] yes but one is support and one isn't [23:58] :P [23:58] daftykins is the main ubuntu the support one? [23:58] didn't know, first time I come to freenode for help [23:59] topics tell all
