| daftykins | good mornings | 05:57 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | pavlushka: bad connection! | 07:12 |
| pavlushka | daftykins: well, not anymore and sorry for the bother. | 07:12 |
| davmor2 | Morning all you cyberhippies | 09:07 |
| popey | hello | 09:08 |
| daftykins | \o | 09:08 |
| SuperMatt | g'day | 09:10 |
| daftykins | happy cyber monday | 09:10 |
| SuperMatt | Still nothing that I want to buy | 09:10 |
| SuperMatt | I think I've finally risen above crass commercialism | 09:10 |
| daftykins | mmm i've been shopping for others but that's about it | 09:15 |
| SuperMatt | Yeah, me too | 09:15 |
| daftykins | tempted to pop in the local HMV to see if anything is going on | 09:16 |
| SuperMatt | HMV? What is this strange acronym seemingly from a bygone era? | 09:16 |
| daftykins | :) they set up here and used to ship out back when there was tax relief on postings up to England, but had to move once that loophole got closed | 09:17 |
| daftykins | the shop stayed open because apparently it was one of the chains top performers from across the whole company | 09:17 |
| SuperMatt | If there's one thing I want in the black friday sales is a new vacuum cleaner | 09:21 |
| daftykins | http://go.linuxfoundation.org/cyber-monday-2016 | 09:21 |
| daftykins | ooh | 09:21 |
| SuperMatt | If I can get a dyson for half price, I'm game | 09:21 |
| diplo | Morning all | 09:22 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Make Your Own Head Day! 😃 | 09:40 |
| TwistedLucidity | SuperMatt: Best deals are around Dec 18th (average 17% off). Black Friday has an average 5% off. It's a marketing scam. | 09:45 |
| xnox | i got dyson before christmas time for "half price" a few years back | 09:46 |
| TwistedLucidity | We have a Dyson. Then we got a Husky. Now we need more Dysons! | 09:47 |
| xnox | /o\ | 09:48 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:58 |
| dwatkins | we got a Shark vacuum cleaner, it's even better than the Dyson. | 10:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | you're going to need a bigger dyson... ;-p | 11:18 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: they did a washing machine once would that be big enough? | 11:47 |
| Laney | vacuum cleaner chat | 12:03 |
| Laney | we did grow up | 12:03 |
| dwatkins | do they not still sell the washing machine? that was huge. | 12:04 |
| davmor2 | Laney: don't be daft we were all just told to keep it clean :D | 12:08 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: what was today by the way had the mains electric cable replaced so no interwebz :D | 12:09 |
| * Laney chats to davmor2 about pension options, mortgage rates and the best schools in the areazzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | 12:10 | |
| * davmor2 tells Laney to get off his lawn and shakes his stick at him | 12:11 | |
| Laney | cheese and real ale | 12:11 |
| Laney | those are the good middle aged pleasures | 12:11 |
| davmor2 | Laney: oh black bomber hmmmmmmm | 12:12 |
| Laney | norfolk white lady | 12:13 |
| * Laney homer simpson drool | 12:13 | |
| Laney | https://www.thecheesesociety.co.uk/cheese-subscriptions/ | 12:14 |
| Laney | O_O | 12:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | perfect for a crimbo pressie for someone instead of the usual socks and underpants... | 12:15 |
| Laney | aye | 12:15 |
| Laney | might drop some hints | 12:15 |
| davmor2 | Laney: seriously try some black bomber if you haven't, also I prefer the Norfolk Marder or something like that, that was nice | 12:15 |
| davmor2 | Laney: I think there is an L in that cheese some where but no matter where I put it, it didn't look right :) | 12:16 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, something about making your own head. | 12:22 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: oh that's dangerous | 12:23 |
| JamesTait | You're telling me! | 12:23 |
| JamesTait | Mine has enough bugs as it is, without me reinventing it. | 12:23 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdLIerfXuZ4 think that should cover it right | 12:28 |
| diddledan | daftykins: that's an expensive t-shirt (ref: http://go.linuxfoundation.org/cyber-monday-2016) | 13:30 |
| diddledan | at least you get a freebie course to go with it | 13:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | but real linux geeks will know how much you paid for it... | 13:32 |
| diddledan | nah, only corporate linuxers will - those courses don't make "real" linux geeks | 13:32 |
| TwistedLucidity | Why would I want to give my money to a trade association raking it in from Oracle, MS etc? Seems to me, community member should support the community. Y'know, that thing the Foundation blocked from being on the board. | 13:35 |
| diddledan | I don't get what the foundation is supposed to provide to the linux world | 13:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | corporate legitimacy | 13:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's not just a bunch of neckbeards typing code in their mothers basement | 13:37 |
| diddledan | but neckbeards in the mom's basements are the ones who are the most important | 13:38 |
| diddledan | their* | 13:38 |
| TwistedLucidity | Not to the lawyers and accountants. The beard is just a cost centre waiting to be outsourced. | 13:39 |
| diddledan | :-( | 13:39 |
| * diddledan will have to shave | 13:40 | |
| diddledan | :-( | 13:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | AND wear a suit | 13:41 |
| diddledan | oh god | 13:41 |
| diddledan | I refuse to work anywhere that I'm required to wear a suit | 13:41 |
| * zmoylan-pi breaks out the chocolate hobnobs (non generic) to coax diddledan out from under desk | 13:41 | |
| * diddledan pokes his head out with his nose twitching | 13:41 | |
| TwistedLucidity | diddledan: Well, that's you excldued from all the main consultancies then. | 13:42 |
| TwistedLucidity | Some are incredibly strict | 13:43 |
| diddledan | >.< | 13:43 |
| TwistedLucidity | I used to work for one, not any more. | 13:43 |
| TwistedLucidity | Now I work from home. Clothing optional. | 13:43 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 13:44 |
| diddledan | working from home is awesome | 13:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | that'll stop people hacking his webcam... twice... | 13:45 |
| TwistedLucidity | I really need to pull my finger our and reclaim money from HMRC | 13:45 |
| TwistedLucidity | *out | 13:45 |
| TwistedLucidity | IIRC you can get ~£18pcm back. | 13:45 |
| TwistedLucidity | Something like that anyway | 13:45 |
| diddledan | o_O | 13:45 |
| diddledan | really? | 13:46 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yeah. For heating, lighting etc | 13:46 |
| diddledan | aah | 13:46 |
| diddledan | yeah I think I knew about that | 13:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | do tux figurines justify a claim as they are religious icons? :-) | 13:47 |
| TwistedLucidity | Unfortunately not, Linux actually exists | 13:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | bah ::switches back to invisible pink unicorn who's figures are very pricey:: | 13:51 |
| dogmatic69 | is it possible to remote desktop on unity yet? | 15:13 |
| diddledan | dogmatic69: unity7 or 8, client or server? | 15:14 |
| dogmatic69 | whatever 16.04 is | 15:14 |
| dogmatic69 | and 16.04 <-> 16.04 I want to remote with | 15:14 |
| diddledan | yes that'll work | 15:15 |
| SuperMatt | VNC has been possible for ages | 15:15 |
| SuperMatt | as well as X forwarding | 15:15 |
| dogmatic69 | it totally has not, prev I have had to install xbuntu or something because unity would not work | 15:15 |
| diddledan | SuperMatt: I think dogmatic69 is referring to the issue a few releases ago where vnc wouldn't show the composited desktop | 15:15 |
| SuperMatt | oh right | 15:15 |
| SuperMatt | I had no idea | 15:15 |
| diddledan | vnc would connect but you'd see nada | 15:16 |
| dogmatic69 | ye, you would log in and have a black screen | 15:16 |
| diddledan | yeah, dogmatic69, I think that's working now | 15:16 |
| SuperMatt | I gave up on vnc and remote desktop a long time ago | 15:16 |
| dogmatic69 | diddledan: so I have remmana on the client, what should I install for the host? | 15:16 |
| diddledan | at least on 16.04 iirc | 15:16 |
| diddledan | use the default one, in the dash it's under "screen sharing" I think | 15:17 |
| diddledan | and yes, use remmina as the client | 15:17 |
| dogmatic69 | cool, I will try that | 15:17 |
| diddledan | the advantage of the default vnc server is that it'll autostart without any further fiddling once you've toggled the switch, but it does require your session to be logged-in on the machine first | 15:18 |
| diddledan | so it's a session sharer rather than machine sharer if that makes sense? | 15:19 |
| dogmatic69 | that is fine, just cant find the switch | 15:19 |
| diddledan | hang on, let me reboot to my ubuntu system and find the bits to walk you through | 15:19 |
| dogmatic69 | "desktop sharing" | 15:19 |
| dogmatic69 | I got it | 15:19 |
| diddledan | aha | 15:19 |
| dogmatic69 | :) | 15:19 |
| diddledan | well done :-) | 15:19 |
| dogmatic69 | you were close | 15:19 |
| diddledan | may find just searching for "sharing" would have shown it | 15:20 |
| dogmatic69 | and it works | 15:21 |
| dogmatic69 | looks horrid in 256 colours :D | 15:22 |
| dogmatic69 | thanks diddledan | 15:22 |
| diddledan | hah. yeah, we're spoilt with meelions of colours | 15:22 |
| halt | Is there an up-to-date version of the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization page or any alternative to "Ubuntu Customization Kit" which still work with the 16.04 LTS version as well (to be more specific the gnome version if possible ) | 16:07 |
| halt | I wanted to put together a portable "home" but things like keyboard layout, and installed packages and stuff I have to modify comparing to the default LiveCD and would be nice to have some permanent storage even if it's an other mount or something I can script it up to get stuff setup right if there is anything not possible to customise at livecd build time, like bashrc or stuff like this | 16:10 |
| davmor2 | halt: not that I know too | 16:33 |

| dogmatic69 | hi all, trying to run a command over ssh to start chrome on a remote host | 21:28 |
| dogmatic69 | it should just run on the remote machine, | 21:28 |
| dogmatic69 | nothing fancy | 21:28 |
| Gargoyle | Evenin' | 21:37 |
| Gargoyle | Can someone tell me the correct place to put a xrandr command to have it run after login? | 21:38 |
| Gargoyle | I tried .xinitrc and .xsession, but more googling suggests they only get run if you start a custom session, not default unity. | 21:40 |
| Gargoyle | Also tried /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start - no dice. | 21:40 |
| diddledan | Gargoyle: you could put it into "startup applications" (that's an applet name in the unity dash) | 21:44 |
| Gargoyle | lemme try that! | 21:46 |
| Gargoyle | Yes! | 21:47 |
| Gargoyle | Thanks dan! | 21:47 |
| Gargoyle | Correct scaling of my retina display! \o/ | 21:48 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 21:52 |
| Gargoyle | Awww. has /etc/rc.local finally bitten the dust on 16.10 too? | 21:52 |
| diddledan | the new gay agenda has been published: https://www.autostraddle.com/new-gay-agenda-super-secret-do-not-leak-360607/ | 22:43 |
| diddledan | "We need you to be achingly, devastatingly, pants-meltingly sexy. Do whatever you can to enhance your unique personal appeal, whether that’s emphasizing your voluptuous curves or doing squats while straight-arming cement-filled paint cans." | 22:43 |
