[08:09] <SebthreeBQM10HD> brobostigon,  Ubuntu OTA 14 updated yesterday, but what a disapointing release really

[09:09] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:09] <SuperMatt> morning davmor2
[09:09] <SuperMatt> is there a davmor1?
[09:09] <davmor2> SuperMatt: we don't talk about davmor1
[09:10] <SuperMatt> dun dun DUUUUUUNNNN
[09:11] <davmor2> SuperMatt: there was when I first setup my account following the guide in suse 6.3 where is said use the first 3 letters of your first name the first 3 letters of your surname and a number :)
[09:12] <davmor2> but I don't think he lasted long but the nick was set then
[09:12] <brobostigon> and i just choose a charecter from a dougglas adams book, lolz.
[09:12] <brobostigon> douglas*
[09:16] <popey> Speaking of which, Dirk Gently (the US version) is on UK Netflix now
[09:17] <brobostigon> :)
[09:35] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Poinsettia Day! 😃
[09:37] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCyXyIa6UPs
[09:41] <foobarry> popey: is it bad?
[09:42] <foobarry> US version of anything is usually terrible IMO
[09:43] <popey> dunno yet
[09:43] <popey> seen mixed reviews
[09:45] <foobarry> had a bad cold for 9 days. back at work because thought that i should probably go, but feeling crap
[09:46] <foobarry> wondering if there are non antibiotic remedies for curing sinus infections
[09:48] <evildespot> Pretty much everything we have, even vitamin supplements where they do add value, are prophylactic rather than remedial
[09:50] <evildespot> Once you've caught a cold, you're mostly stuck with the thing
[09:51] <evildespot> book lots of meetings with all your least favourite work colleagues
[09:58] <foobarry> i thought most cold viruses pass in aroudn 5 days
[09:58] <foobarry> i'm up to day 9 atm
[10:08] <knightwise> morning peeps
[10:26] <SuperMatt> foobarry: it can last a couple of weeks. I had a cold recently which knocked me out for a full 14 days
[10:26] <foobarry> SuperMatt: did you receover by itself?
[10:26] <foobarry> rearrange the words to make a setence
[10:26] <foobarry> ugh
[10:30] <SuperMatt> yeah, I did
[10:30] <SuperMatt> doctor signed me off
[10:31] <foobarry> my doctor's surgery doesn't like seeing people
[10:31] <SuperMatt> what a crappy surgery then
[10:31] <foobarry> totally
[10:31] <foobarry> 2 week wait or same day. but same day is hard to get and they claim all slots are taken
[10:46] <czajkows1i> aloha
[10:47] <Laney> hey czajkowski
[10:47] <czajkowski> anyone else on Version 53.0.2785.143 Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.10 (64-bit)
[10:48] <czajkowski> who when they go to amazon.co.uk get a your connection is not private issue?
[10:48] <czajkowski> Laney: howdy doody!
[10:49] <Laney> is it https://sslmate.com/blog/post/ct_redaction_in_chrome_53 ?
[10:49] <czajkowski> Laney: ahhh yes!
[10:50] <popey> czajkowski: should be on chrome 55 now
[10:50] <czajkowski> popey: I use chromium as my default browser and chrome for work stuff
[10:51] <czajkowski> so no issue on Chrome but not working on Chromium
[10:51] <czajkowski> which is also the up to date version.
[10:51] <czajkowski> Laney: Thank you, thought I was going insane
[10:52] <popey> ah
[10:52] <popey> i use chrome for everything, just have multiple 'users' or profiles in it
[10:55] <czajkowski> popey: aye may hjave to look at doing that, just like to keep work and non work stuff seperate for fear wrong stuff gone out on the wrong account :)
[10:55] <popey> yup, me too
[10:55] <czajkowski> and also chromium is my shopping amazon account
[10:55] <czajkowski> chrome is my work amazon account
[10:55] <popey> having them as separate profiles (I have about 16 profiles)
[10:55] <czajkowski> nods will look at that
[10:55] <popey> works well. I just close the 'work' one on the weekend.
[10:56] <czajkowski> just need to remember to change profiles
[10:56] <popey> well, no, you keep them both open
[10:56] <czajkowski> ah
[10:56] <popey> you just close the work one in the evening/weekend just like you do now
[10:58] <czajkowski> ah I see
[10:58] <popey> if you click links in other apps, it opens the link in the last browser window you were in, and doing something. Which works well usually.
[10:58] <czajkowski> Cheers :)
[10:58] <popey> np
[10:59] <czajkowski> did think it was odd the error on the likes of an amazon page last night but was too tired to do much digging
[11:01] <ging> i stopped using chromium a few weeks ago because i couldn't get to amazon anymore
[11:02] <czajkowski> ging: ah it literally stopped last night as was on it yesterday before I went out and no issues
[11:02] <ging> because of some stupid spat between google and symantec
[11:02] <czajkowski> ging: the link Laney posted explains it more
[11:03] <ging> i missed that, but i suspect it's the same issue or related to it
[11:03] <czajkowski> ging: https://sslmate.com/blog/post/ct_redaction_in_chrome_53
[11:04] <ging> yeah it is the same, i thought it was fixed
[11:06] <ging> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1641380
[11:30] <knightwise> well .. that was fun
[11:30] <knightwise> just got screamed at during a clients meeting (again) ...
[11:30] <popey> :S
[11:30] <knightwise> 4 meetings with the same guy, 4 times the same scenario ...
[11:31] <knightwise> Slamming doors , walking out of the meeting, coming back etc .
[11:31] <knightwise> always takes some time to shake it off afterwards.
[11:34] <foobarry> petulant child
[11:35] <knightwise> very
[11:35] <knightwise> anyone of you played with Solus OS yet ?
[11:36] <foobarry> very briefly
[11:37] <knightwise> gonna give it a try on the xps13 , see how it rolls
[11:37] <foobarry> seems like mostly hype
[11:37] <foobarry> and predictions for the future
[11:37] <knightwise> foobarry: basically its ubuntu with a differnt skin ?
[11:37] <foobarry> and too much instability regarding strategy i.e. package manager, rewrite everything in C, etc
[11:38] <foobarry> no, the budgie remix is, but solus is a different distro by itself
[11:39] <knightwise> hmmm... so you would go with budgie ?
[11:41] <foobarry> depend what u wnat?
[11:43] <foobarry> it felt a bit like linux mint to me. cinnamon-esque
[11:44] <foobarry> solus itself changes constantly and i don't see a clear strategy coming from them
[12:03] <diplo> Morning all
[12:03] <diplo> Anyone use email to fax services online ?
[12:04] <diplo> I use budgie on mydesktop knightwise - Prefer it so far and has been more stable
[12:31] <knightwise> installed budgie , looks kinda pretty , its indeed a little cinamon
[12:35] <davmor2> knightwise: staple gun him to meeting table when he walks in so he can't storm off ;)

[14:43] <daftykins> oh dear i just did one of those static IP sets on a friends Windows 10 box, as they released a patch that broke DHCP with BT routers
[14:43] <daftykins> what a blunder :D
[14:44] <foobarry> talktalk are asking me dto factory reset my router in order to do a firmware update "we can't see your router"
[14:45] <daftykins> heh TR-069 failure
[14:46] <daftykins> can you just ask them what is the current version instead? and compare it against what the web UI reports...
[14:46] <foobarry> i'm definitely old. i wanted the new version
[14:46] <foobarry> its a newly supplied router though
[14:46] <foobarry> factory reset will reset my wifi SSID config though :(
[14:47] <daftykins> oh no, you'll have to change 3 whole parameters max per band! :)
[14:47] <daftykins> might have a backup feature :)
[14:48] <foobarry> well it means i can't ask the missis to do it
[14:48] <foobarry> or she will have no wifi
[14:50] <daftykins> ah you tried to call up from work
[15:00] <foobarry> are CPAN modules user specific?
[16:03] <m0nkey_> ugh, the great white north isn't so great today. !@#$ing snow
[16:05] <daftykins> :(
[16:05] <m0nkey_> We've had 10cm overnight, and more is on the way.
[16:06] <m0nkey_> Means I will be digging the car out twice today
[16:08] <m0nkey_> However, I have found I can now consider myself a pro at snow driving
[16:08] <m0nkey_> Today, I became a real Canadian! :D
[16:08] <daftykins> did you avert disaster?
[16:08] <m0nkey_> lol, not quite
[16:09] <m0nkey_> Coming home by car, I have a parking space in the back street. The back street is never cleared of snow.
[16:09] <m0nkey_> But turning into the backstreet, car gets stuck in the snow
[16:10] <m0nkey_> I sit there for a moment, turn off the traction control, put it into reverse and started
[16:10] <m0nkey_> 'rocking' the car
[16:10] <m0nkey_> boom, I'm out. Put the car into low range, get enough momentum and voila! Not stuck and rolled happily to my parking space
[16:10] <m0nkey_> TIL about TCS
[16:11] <m0nkey_> Forgot the car had it
[16:11] <daftykins> that sounds pretty standard to me and i don't even drive, nor hold a license ;)
[16:11] <m0nkey_> lol
[16:11] <daftykins> ah i've spotted that one in a racing game of all things :> always turn all the 'assists' off
[16:11] <m0nkey_> It's the first time I got stuck in the snow with the car
[16:11] <m0nkey_> So I passed the Canadian test
[16:12] <daftykins> \o/
[16:12] <daftykins> *but* did you apologise to the car and the snow in the process?
[16:12] <daftykins> that's the real test ;)
[16:12] <m0nkey_> Of course
[16:12] <daftykins> hurrah!
[16:12] <m0nkey_> It'll be rude not to say sorry
[16:13] <m0nkey_> Since we're in Quebekistan, you have to say désolé.
[16:13] <daftykins> ugh :P
[17:07]  * diddledan minces
[17:07] <diddledan> minces pies
[17:07]  * diddledan minces all over town
[17:07] <diddledan> morning all
[17:10]  * daftykins watches diddledan approach with his peculiar gait
[17:10] <daftykins> hi \o
[17:10] <diddledan> o/
[17:11] <daftykins> my mate is passing jobs onto me again, i asked what has suddenly happened in December for this to begin, he said it always happens but only now has he got the head scratchers
[17:11] <daftykins> so i can only imagine what poor people are suffering from his handiwork :)
[19:25] <foobarry> IT problems?
[19:26] <davmor2> daftykins: just charge double that the norm for xmas season right?
[19:30] <daftykins> yeah wonky laptops and desktops etc
[19:32] <daftykins> just solved his mother in laws, but it needed a desperate upgrade anyway
[19:32] <daftykins> OS installed to a WD Green? ugh.
[19:38] <zmoylan-pi> on good spinning metal like ibm intended... well spinning metal... well metal... :-P
[19:39] <daftykins> SSD on the way along with RAM for the second slot (of 2) to enable dual-channel and go up to 8GB anywho \o/
