[09:22] morning boys and girls. [13:03] Hi there wondering if anyone can give me a little with a systemd related issue? [13:03] only if you ask [13:04] haha thanks....so avery time i issue the systemd command i get the follow,...Trying to run as user instance, but $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set. [13:06] myles: It's rare to actually run the systemd command - if you're trying to modify something you normally run the systemctl command [13:08] penguin42: Thanks for that, Ive never actually used systemd so just trying to get to grips with it a bit. the systemctl command seem to execute with no issues so ill work from there :) [13:08] myles: Yep it's mostly you use that to control it - e.g. systemctl restart foo [13:09] penguin42: That makes sense now that you say it. Thanks for putting me on the right track! [13:10] np === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [18:52] watching a new series on amazon - game of silence - pretty intriguing [19:09] don't you love when you cough so hard that you fart? [19:09] :-p [19:10] it's mostly the feeling of relief when you realise you haven't followed-through [19:25] after further testing today, some ALSA buffering numbers is all it took to calm my Onkyo down, my my [19:25] now i have £60 of DAC and case and so on ordered that i don't need... [19:26] diddledan: a mate has had two post-shower sneezes that have resulted in the follow through, followed by rapid second showers and laundry duty ;) [19:29] buffering: s/f/g/ [19:29] rude [19:29] ALSA buffering sounds nasty [19:30] in a way i'm pleased, but having already ordered kit it's kind of a pain it hasn't played up again XD [19:30] typical [19:32] yep! [19:32] i didn't really believe that forum thread i linked you to would be of any use [20:16] evening all [20:16] \o [20:16] I have a 16.04 server [20:17] there's a service that looks like it's not starting an init script on boot [20:17] sounds normal, since 16.04 doesn't use init ;D [20:17] can I safely symlink the script in to the appropriate /etc/rcX.d dir ? [20:18] o..k.. [20:18] so, how do I make it fire on boot ? [20:18] first off, what are you talking about? you don't ask for advice without details [20:19] zimbra [20:20] if, after it boots, I ssh in and manually poke the init script it works just fine [20:20] i suspect you could have found a better way to install it to begin with if it isn't behaving properly [20:21] I used their install system [20:22] might just be easier to add it to rc.local [20:24] strikes me as a mistaken approach [20:24] sure, I am open to the idea of doing it right though [20:34] prior to upgrade (14.04~16.04) gedit used to have tab buttons for stuff like copy and paste - can I get this back? [20:36] like a toolbar? [20:36] ask in #ubuntu [20:38] hmh, ... i need to install older version - solved [20:56] hi [20:57] * diddledan twirls the tassles [22:10] old girl trying to line me up with a smashed iPhone 6 job o0 [22:10] yey? [22:11] not sure ;) kinda more trouble than they're worth really [22:11] especially when you consider the typical iPhone owner... [22:11] average, i should say [22:13] * diddledan hides his ipwn [22:13] D: why would you do that to yourself? :P [22:13] I believe it's called penance [22:15] you have to use some horrible tech just so you can spot great tech when you find it... [22:15] is that like a diamond in the rough? [22:19] i thought the new iphones were a mass of glue that made unauthorised repairs... complicated? [22:20] nope even easier than older ones [22:21] well for the display etc [22:21] well i kinda guess that's the one bit that's replaced the most... [22:22] yeah [22:22] i hear the components on the motherboard are glued a fair chunk [22:22] in a repair video i saw, the lady had to scrape away at the PCB to get in and under before popping a couple of resistors off [22:23] i watch people using devices in public and the amount of broken screens i see still in use amuses me [22:23] it's amazing the low standards yeah, seems to me they can't get by for 5 minutes without them even if they did know someone that can fix it [22:24] i've got some spare phones here but they won't have the right SIM size to even offer as a loaner [22:25] and i am detecting a small increase of dumb phones in use... it's weird that they are ancient compared to the new dumbphones still been sold... [22:25] must be things folks still have in a cupboard somewhere [22:26] if it weren't for the fact the batteries are probably shot, i'd bet many would consider going back [22:26] that would be my guess... people with pre smartphone nokias instead of the newer variants... and in some cases i see them using the nokias after putting away smartphone [22:26] i suspect some of the nokias are still working on their original charge... :-) [22:27] i have used one nokia for 3 days in airplane mode when it had been left switched off and left 18 months after it's last charge... [22:28] err what use is a nokia in airplane mode XD [22:29] i was in hospital and they had me in room with no access to power points for android phone or my iphone. so i powered them down except for 1 hour a day to deal with sms and used nokia e61 as ereader and mp3 player [22:29] and games [22:30] i'd have preferred a crossword [22:30] or a printed book :P [22:30] well i had sodoku and boggle as games... [22:31] my hospitals wifi was all super locked down, i couldn't RDP home or even IRC [22:31] this was pre hospital having wifi for patients... [22:32] you've got to wonder now really with what folks use it for, i keep hearing from mates that they use netflix etc. in hotels [22:32] now my dumb nokia asha 302 does irc, email, web, rss, ereader, games, twitter. not prettily but well enough and not have to worry about battery [22:32] i'd feel that were a bit immoral because you'd probably be screwing everyone else over with the bandwidth if it's a bad setup [22:33] yeah, 1 person viewing netflix is selfish, ditto any form of video or streaming [22:33] unless the setup is incredible but how often does that happen? [22:33] indeed [22:34] not something i would do in a hotel [22:34] oh and also the 302 does mp3s and radio... [22:34] * zmoylan-pi pats the 302. thought i had lost it over the weekend when it fell out my pocket and got crunched under a car seat... nary a scratch === Chunkyz is now known as AntiChrist === AntiChrist is now known as Guest78738 === Guest78738 is now known as ChunkzZ
