diddledansomething is wonky with my ubuntu install. shortly after bootup it loses it's ipv4 address but retains ipv6. Telling network manager to reconnect the interface regains the ipv4 and the network connection then stays up until I reboot16:38

penguin42not to penguins17:57
zmoylan-piwell... you would say that... :-P17:58
SebthreeBQM10HDhi19:23
directhexzmoylan-pi: i hate to point it out, but the creator of tux works for microsoft, so "reclaim"?19:32
directhexalso, yes, that skype about box penguin is my everything19:32
zmoylan-pia lot of linux/foss developers have/currently worked for ms... their work doesn't automatically belong to ms because of that19:33
ali1234tux shows up in some weird places19:47
zmoylan-pii got a penguin pez dispenser for a mate who uses linux at work in a mostly ms shop.  he loves it19:48
zmoylan-pibonus is he's vegetarian and it's one of the few sweets that is kosher with that...19:49

ali1234that's clearly the larry ewing tux19:54
zmoylan-pii have a dog toy squeaky penguin that i use for pub meetups.  always flushes out the linux heads.19:54

zmoylan-pia lot of people throw out computers when they get infected... i know a lot of unix users who got their hardware that way...20:55
shivershey! I know that nick from another channel zmoylan-pi :)20:59
shiversDidn't know you could be found here too21:00
zmoylan-pii hang out in a few channels on a couple of irc servers21:05
shiversApparently so. Well so do I when it comes to it21:07
shiversI am configuring a new IRC client so I've found a few new channels to visit, hence my stopping by here21:08
shiversAlso, I installed Ubuntu on a new box I built this weekend21:08
popeywelcome to the madhouse21:08
shiversThanks, I think21:09
zmoylan-pioooh quassel.... haven't used that on in ages...21:09
shiversYup. New to me21:09
zmoylan-pii used it when i had mac, windows and linux at same time as the client worked on all 321:09
shiversI planned on using what I know, weechat and tmux or screen21:09
shiversMmm. I have all 3 of those OS's running right now21:09
zmoylan-piso there was no mental gymnastics when swapping os for a task21:10
shiversWindows for gaming, mac for mobility, and now Ubuntu21:10
zmoylan-pimeanwhile my pi keeps on pi....ing21:10
shiversheh21:10
zmoylan-pithough my lowest client isn't the pi but my nokia dumbphone with a java irc client on it for mobile use21:11
shiversGosh. That's old skool21:12
zmoylan-piwhen i tried irc on an android phone i could run down the battery a lot by using irc for an hour or two.  the nokia lasts days in irc if i leave it...21:13
zmoylan-piand it doubles as a +1 bludgeon weapon in a zombie apocalypse...21:14
shiversthat's always handy21:14
zmoylan-pior skynet sending terminators so it's a twofer :-P21:14
shiversNot sure a Nokia is the preferred weapon against a Terminator, but I'm willing to let you test it21:15
zmoylan-pior assembling ikea furniture that needs a panel pin banged in... :-D21:15
zmoylan-pidrop nokia in sock, beat the bejezus out of a terminator.  easy peasy :-)21:16
shiversSounds like you have it all planned.21:16
shiversSo... to be slightly on-topic. Is there anything I need to know about Ubuntu? I haven't used linux at all in a couple years now. Started with slack in early 90s tho and has used *nixes a lot over the years21:17
shiversI am brushing up on apt commands, but besides that I'm not sure what I need to know21:18
zmoylan-piubuntu is still a great distro.  if you don't like the unity desktop try xubuntu which is more win2000 windows classic themed, on a ancient system try lubuntu as it uses less resources for shiny whizz bang effects21:18
zmoylan-piother that that it just works21:19
shiversI am not all that fuzzed about the looks of a desktop environment as long as I get hold of a decent terminal client21:19
zmoylan-pias long as you don't try and install it on a lenovo system running windows signature edition... :-P21:19
shivershehe21:20
shiversThat stirred up twitter for sure21:20
zmoylan-piwell, it's linux, if you don't like a terminal client there'll be another one along in a minute21:20
shiversMmm. True enough21:20
shiversI installed 16.04 LTS on this one. Didn't research the best flavour in advance, but this looks decent21:21
zmoylan-pithere's been some hullaballoo over systemd but it seems to have died down a bit21:27
shiversYeah. I followed that at a distance. Lots of chatter about systemd in archlinux circles. That was the last linux OS I used.21:29
shiversA definite departure from the BSD roots21:30
