[05:57] good mornings [07:12] pavlushka: bad connection! [07:12] daftykins: well, not anymore and sorry for the bother. [09:07] Morning all you cyberhippies [09:08] hello [09:08] \o [09:10] g'day [09:10] happy cyber monday [09:10] Still nothing that I want to buy [09:10] I think I've finally risen above crass commercialism [09:15] mmm i've been shopping for others but that's about it [09:15] Yeah, me too [09:16] tempted to pop in the local HMV to see if anything is going on [09:16] HMV? What is this strange acronym seemingly from a bygone era? [09:17] :) 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] the shop stayed open because apparently it was one of the chains top performers from across the whole company [09:21] If there's one thing I want in the black friday sales is a new vacuum cleaner [09:21] http://go.linuxfoundation.org/cyber-monday-2016 [09:21] ooh [09:21] If I can get a dyson for half price, I'm game [09:22] Morning all [09:40] Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Make Your Own Head Day! 😃 [09:45] SuperMatt: Best deals are around Dec 18th (average 17% off). Black Friday has an average 5% off. It's a marketing scam. [09:46] i got dyson before christmas time for "half price" a few years back [09:47] We have a Dyson. Then we got a Husky. Now we need more Dysons! [09:48] /o\ [09:58] morning boys and girls. [10:04] we got a Shark vacuum cleaner, it's even better than the Dyson. [11:18] you're going to need a bigger dyson... ;-p [11:47] zmoylan-pi: they did a washing machine once would that be big enough? [12:03] vacuum cleaner chat [12:03] we did grow up [12:04] do they not still sell the washing machine? that was huge. [12:08] Laney: don't be daft we were all just told to keep it clean :D [12:09] JamesTait: what was today by the way had the mains electric cable replaced so no interwebz :D [12:10] * Laney chats to davmor2 about pension options, mortgage rates and the best schools in the areazzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [12:11] * davmor2 tells Laney to get off his lawn and shakes his stick at him [12:11] cheese and real ale [12:11] those are the good middle aged pleasures [12:12] Laney: oh black bomber hmmmmmmm [12:13] norfolk white lady [12:13] * Laney homer simpson drool [12:14] https://www.thecheesesociety.co.uk/cheese-subscriptions/ [12:14] O_O [12:15] perfect for a crimbo pressie for someone instead of the usual socks and underpants... [12:15] aye [12:15] might drop some hints [12:15] Laney: seriously try some black bomber if you haven't, also I prefer the Norfolk Marder or something like that, that was nice [12:16] Laney: I think there is an L in that cheese some where but no matter where I put it, it didn't look right :) [12:22] davmor2, something about making your own head. [12:23] JamesTait: oh that's dangerous [12:23] You're telling me! [12:23] Mine has enough bugs as it is, without me reinventing it. [12:28] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdLIerfXuZ4 think that should cover it right [13:30] daftykins: that's an expensive t-shirt (ref: http://go.linuxfoundation.org/cyber-monday-2016) [13:32] at least you get a freebie course to go with it [13:32] but real linux geeks will know how much you paid for it... [13:32] nah, only corporate linuxers will - those courses don't make "real" linux geeks [13:35] 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. [13:36] I don't get what the foundation is supposed to provide to the linux world [13:36] corporate legitimacy [13:37] it's not just a bunch of neckbeards typing code in their mothers basement [13:38] but neckbeards in the mom's basements are the ones who are the most important [13:38] their* [13:39] Not to the lawyers and accountants. The beard is just a cost centre waiting to be outsourced. [13:39] :-( [13:40] * diddledan will have to shave [13:40] :-( [13:41] AND wear a suit [13:41] oh god [13:41] 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 [13:42] diddledan: Well, that's you excldued from all the main consultancies then. [13:43] Some are incredibly strict [13:43] >.< [13:43] I used to work for one, not any more. [13:43] Now I work from home. Clothing optional. [13:44] \o/ [13:44] working from home is awesome [13:45] that'll stop people hacking his webcam... twice... [13:45] I really need to pull my finger our and reclaim money from HMRC [13:45] *out [13:45] IIRC you can get ~£18pcm back. [13:45] Something like that anyway [13:45] o_O [13:46] really? [13:46] Yeah. For heating, lighting etc [13:46] aah [13:46] yeah I think I knew about that [13:47] do tux figurines justify a claim as they are religious icons? :-) [13:48] Unfortunately not, Linux actually exists [13:51] bah ::switches back to invisible pink unicorn who's figures are very pricey:: [15:13] is it possible to remote desktop on unity yet? [15:14] dogmatic69: unity7 or 8, client or server? [15:14] whatever 16.04 is [15:14] and 16.04 <-> 16.04 I want to remote with [15:15] yes that'll work [15:15] VNC has been possible for ages [15:15] as well as X forwarding [15:15] it totally has not, prev I have had to install xbuntu or something because unity would not work [15:15] SuperMatt: I think dogmatic69 is referring to the issue a few releases ago where vnc wouldn't show the composited desktop [15:15] oh right [15:15] I had no idea [15:16] vnc would connect but you'd see nada [15:16] ye, you would log in and have a black screen [15:16] yeah, dogmatic69, I think that's working now [15:16] I gave up on vnc and remote desktop a long time ago [15:16] diddledan: so I have remmana on the client, what should I install for the host? [15:16] at least on 16.04 iirc [15:17] use the default one, in the dash it's under "screen sharing" I think [15:17] and yes, use remmina as the client [15:17] cool, I will try that [15:18] 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 [15:19] so it's a session sharer rather than machine sharer if that makes sense? [15:19] that is fine, just cant find the switch [15:19] hang on, let me reboot to my ubuntu system and find the bits to walk you through [15:19] "desktop sharing" [15:19] I got it [15:19] aha [15:19] :) [15:19] well done :-) [15:19] you were close [15:20] may find just searching for "sharing" would have shown it [15:21] and it works [15:22] looks horrid in 256 colours :D [15:22] thanks diddledan [15:22] hah. yeah, we're spoilt with meelions of colours [16:07] 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 ) [16:10] 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 [16:33] halt: not that I know too === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD === brmbrmca1 is now known as brmbrmcar [21:28] hi all, trying to run a command over ssh to start chrome on a remote host [21:28] it should just run on the remote machine, [21:28] nothing fancy [21:37] Evenin' [21:38] Can someone tell me the correct place to put a xrandr command to have it run after login? [21:40] I tried .xinitrc and .xsession, but more googling suggests they only get run if you start a custom session, not default unity. [21:40] Also tried /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start - no dice. [21:44] Gargoyle: you could put it into "startup applications" (that's an applet name in the unity dash) [21:46] lemme try that! [21:47] Yes! [21:47] Thanks dan! [21:48] Correct scaling of my retina display! \o/ [21:52] \o/ [21:52] Awww. has /etc/rc.local finally bitten the dust on 16.10 too?
