paddatrapperbushtech: seems there's a bug with Networkmanager in 16.04 that hasn't been fixed yet. Resuming from suspend requires you to toggle wifi before you can connect to a network16:27
Kilosty paddatrapper 16:28

superflysup kulelu8819:26
kulelu88hey superfly . howzit?19:27
superflyyeah, not bad thanks. a little less frantic right now19:28
superflystill trying to get everything sold19:28
superflyDog has a home, need to follow up on one cat's potential new home, and cat #3 still needs a home19:28
kulelu88yeah seems like a rush. less than 2 months until your family goes?19:28
superflyya19:29
superflythey're actually sorted, I'm the one that still needs to be sorted out.19:30
kulelu88if you were going to execute a bash command within Python, without a pip install lib (like sh), what would you use from within Pythons internal tools?19:30
superflysubprocess probably19:30
kulelu88Perhaps you should try resigning soon? may help to be around to sort everything out 19:30
superflyfrom subprocess import check_output; check_output(['ls'])19:31
superflyyes, already chatted with my boss. I'm resigning effective 30 November, but we have a 2 month notice period which I'm not required to work out19:31
superflySo September 30 will be my last day.... *sigh* my mom's birthday19:32
kulelu88I'd be running a command like this: sudo find /path/from/folder/ -name *.php -exec sudo cp {} /path/to/folder\;19:33
kulelu88I'm sure you can leave any valuables you can't sell at your folks place? 19:34
superflykulelu88: no, my dad doesn't want anything more. I've managed to persuade my brothers to take some things, and we've got friends and friends of friends buying stuff. we're also giving a lot away to charities.19:44
superflyonly the absolute worst is going in the bin19:44
kulelu88recycling +10019:46
kulelu88you saw my bash command above? superfly 19:54
superflykulelu88: yes. if you read the docs on subprocess, you'll see that you can easily achieve that19:55
kulelu88alright, I'll review that later, thanks19:55
