[06:56] <knightwise> hey corenominal yes,
[06:56] <knightwise> but i havent had a chance to do a show in a while
[07:29] <knightwise> y I seem to be the only person on the planet having a hard time getting my bluetooth mouse to work on ubuntu
[09:10] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:17] <foobarry> knightwise: using libinput or synaptics?
[09:18] <knightwise> foobarry: the standard bluetooth control panel in ubuntu ?
[09:18] <knightwise> I have 2 ms mice lying around and an apple mouse , only one is "visible" and it refuses to pair
[09:18] <foobarry> oh ok , so still at the bluetooth stage
[09:19] <knightwise> yep
[09:19] <foobarry> built in bluetooth receiver?
[09:19] <foobarry> or usb dongle?
[09:20] <knightwise> built in
[09:29] <knightwise> so strange that i cant even get this basic thing working on the xps13
[09:47] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:54] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Ugly Christmas Sweater Day! 😃
[10:22] <Guest49048> git clone ssh://git@bk/home/git/customer_portal_ng
[10:23] <Guest49048> Oops, my bad
[10:23] <diplo> What distro do you guys use as a live disc now? just want to try and retrieve files from a may dead laptop
[10:28] <knightwise> mate
[10:33] <diplo> Downloading now
[10:33] <diplo> ta

[11:48] <diddledan> MS is getting silly :-p
[11:49] <foobarry> does it provide much more than cygwin ?
[11:49] <foobarry> i tried installing it on the windows partition on my work laptop i kept for vmware client
[11:50] <foobarry> the anniversary update hosed my entire disk and i had to wipe both OS and start again...without windows
[11:51] <zmoylan-pi> 'without windows...' so... some improvement then... :-)
[11:52] <foobarry> i rarely used it, once every 6 months
[11:52] <diddledan> "Tuesday’s debate appeared to confirm that the Government may indeed be on the verge of adopting one of the most bonkers approaches to overzealous Internet censorship.": http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2016/12/concern-uk-government-ponders-isp-block-twitter-social-media.html
[11:59] <foobarry> sites like reddit and twitter do have an awful lot of easy access smut on though
[12:00] <foobarry> and hate speech
[12:10] <davmor2> foobarry: it is ubuntu cloud img running on windows effectively so yes it offers much more than cygwin like the whole of the ubuntu repos for a kick off :)
[12:12] <diddledan> cygwin is a hack, where the WSL is much more native
[12:13] <zmoylan-pi> so once every 6 monthd you waited impatiently for it to pull down and install a massive amount of updates... :-P
[12:13] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: you're pretty much an equal-opportunities Operating System Hater, aren't you?
[12:13] <diddledan> :-p
[12:14] <zmoylan-pi> of course, i've worked in i.t. :-D
[12:14] <diddledan> the every 6 mo thing is a dig against ubuntu afaict. and you have macos. and you hate windows
[12:14] <diddledan> hate*
[12:15] <zmoylan-pi> nah ubuntu which can be irksome (latest lubuntu wanted me to create an account on ubuntu store just to install vlc) at least during updates can still be used...
[12:16] <diddledan> wat?
[12:16] <diddledan> you shouldn't need an account to access stuff in the apt repo
[12:16] <diddledan> are you sure you weren't installing a snap?
[12:16] <zmoylan-pi> what can i tell you.... i think it was a snap...
[12:17] <zmoylan-pi> so opened console in anger and 'sudo apt install vlc'
[12:18] <diddledan> you should have an account anyway though. it uses launchpad.net for auth
[12:18] <foobarry> openid could be a method for proving age
[12:19] <foobarry> binary flag child/not child
[12:19] <zmoylan-pi> if people in i.t. ask my age i sign the rs232 song from spitting image at them :-P
[12:19] <zmoylan-pi> *sing
[12:19] <foobarry> sign language might be better
[12:19] <zmoylan-pi> not when i sign... :-)

[13:45] <diddledan> also, cute kitty: https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens/status/809756268961337344
[13:49] <zmoylan-pi> ah yes, fond memories of holding a door open on cold wet winter nights waiting for the cat to decide if their need to use the loo outweighed their need to be warm and dry...
[14:07] <foobarry> ah, lvextend and resize2fs online resize is just so awesome
[14:26] <diddledan> foobarry: yeah I love that
[14:40] <foobarry> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnXD6FRZtn0 my working song this afternoon
[14:56] <knightwise> literally dugg up my Eeepc out of the basement
[15:57] <foobarry> hmm a mysql db import form another server didn't set the passwords for the user accounts it created
[16:23] <BigRedS> just empty fields in mysql.user?
[16:23] <BigRedS> that's... odd
[16:27] <foobarry> the users were created but passwords not set
[16:28] <foobarry> reimported and it didn't work
[16:28] <foobarry> mysql 5.5 to mariadb
[16:28] <foobarry> shouldn't be a problem though.
[16:28] <foobarry> had to use a tool to dump the grant lines by hand
[16:40] <BigRedS> yeah, so what was in the password fields of mysql.user?
[16:46] <foobarry> some hash, but actually they were blank
[16:46] <foobarry> mysql -u user worked without password
[16:46] <foobarry> the original server had real passwords
[16:46] <foobarry> weird
[17:06] <diddledan> foobarry: that's an impressive performance in the video
[17:06] <foobarry> nice isn't it?
[17:07] <diddledan> aye

[17:52] <daftykins> old plasma 60" vs LG OLED 65" :)
[17:56] <diddledan> <3
[17:57] <daftykins> isn't finished yet of course, before the silly comments come in XD

[22:40] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: have you seen the big news!? http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_150-8475.php
[22:41] <zmoylan-pi>  i saw that but it's s30 so no java apps
[22:41] <zmoylan-pi> i do have lower limits. :-D
[22:41] <daftykins> :O
[22:41]  * daftykins sends this news to The Register
[22:42] <zmoylan-pi> s40 gives me java apps. so i can use albite for ereader, jirc for irc, midpssh for ssh...
[22:45] <zmoylan-pi> but it is good to see they are targetting the lower end of the market.  judging by dublin bus pics of lost and found there are usually a few old dumb nokias that can now be replaced with new dumb nokias :-)
[23:06] <daftykins> well folks... http://i.imgur.com/SEuWN76.jpg
[23:18] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[23:18] <zmoylan-pi> sleep well
