[06:56] hey corenominal yes, [06:56] but i havent had a chance to do a show in a while [07:29] 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] Morning all [09:17] knightwise: using libinput or synaptics? [09:18] foobarry: the standard bluetooth control panel in ubuntu ? [09:18] I have 2 ms mice lying around and an apple mouse , only one is "visible" and it refuses to pair [09:18] oh ok , so still at the bluetooth stage [09:19] yep [09:19] built in bluetooth receiver? [09:19] or usb dongle? [09:20] built in [09:29] so strange that i cant even get this basic thing working on the xps13 [09:47] morning boys and girls. === layke is now known as Guest75339 [09:54] Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Ugly Christmas Sweater Day! 😃 === Victor is now known as Guest49048 [10:22] git clone ssh://git@bk/home/git/customer_portal_ng [10:23] Oops, my bad [10:23] 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] mate [10:33] Downloading now [10:33] ta [11:48] https://twitter.com/richturn_ms/status/809725958538272768 [11:48] MS is getting silly :-p [11:49] does it provide much more than cygwin ? [11:49] i tried installing it on the windows partition on my work laptop i kept for vmware client [11:50] the anniversary update hosed my entire disk and i had to wipe both OS and start again...without windows [11:51] 'without windows...' so... some improvement then... :-) [11:52] i rarely used it, once every 6 months [11:52] "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] sites like reddit and twitter do have an awful lot of easy access smut on though [12:00] and hate speech [12:10] 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] cygwin is a hack, where the WSL is much more native [12:13] so once every 6 monthd you waited impatiently for it to pull down and install a massive amount of updates... :-P [12:13] zmoylan-pi: you're pretty much an equal-opportunities Operating System Hater, aren't you? [12:13] :-p [12:14] of course, i've worked in i.t. :-D [12:14] the every 6 mo thing is a dig against ubuntu afaict. and you have macos. and you hate windows [12:14] hate* [12:15] 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] wat? [12:16] you shouldn't need an account to access stuff in the apt repo [12:16] are you sure you weren't installing a snap? [12:16] what can i tell you.... i think it was a snap... [12:17] so opened console in anger and 'sudo apt install vlc' [12:18] you should have an account anyway though. it uses launchpad.net for auth [12:18] openid could be a method for proving age [12:19] binary flag child/not child [12:19] if people in i.t. ask my age i sign the rs232 song from spitting image at them :-P [12:19] *sing [12:19] sign language might be better [12:19] not when i sign... :-) [12:57] https://twitter.com/agile_memes/status/809743730165039105 [13:44] https://twitter.com/kventil/status/725645207799209984 [13:45] also, cute kitty: https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens/status/809756268961337344 [13:49] 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] ah, lvextend and resize2fs online resize is just so awesome [14:26] foobarry: yeah I love that [14:40] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnXD6FRZtn0 my working song this afternoon === Victor is now known as Guest97558 [14:56] literally dugg up my Eeepc out of the basement [15:57] hmm a mysql db import form another server didn't set the passwords for the user accounts it created [16:23] just empty fields in mysql.user? [16:23] that's... odd [16:27] the users were created but passwords not set [16:28] reimported and it didn't work [16:28] mysql 5.5 to mariadb [16:28] shouldn't be a problem though. [16:28] had to use a tool to dump the grant lines by hand [16:40] yeah, so what was in the password fields of mysql.user? [16:46] some hash, but actually they were blank [16:46] mysql -u user worked without password [16:46] the original server had real passwords [16:46] weird [17:06] foobarry: that's an impressive performance in the video [17:06] nice isn't it? [17:07] aye [17:52] https://www.dropbox.com/s/kr3wnev92lcqoa8/IMG_20161216_162134.jpg?dl=0 [17:52] https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6smfw4n43sg7md/IMG_20161216_162608.jpg?dl=0 [17:52] old plasma 60" vs LG OLED 65" :) [17:56] <3 [17:57] isn't finished yet of course, before the silly comments come in XD [22:32] http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/12/unpatched-bug-allows-hackers-to-seize-control-of-netgear-routers/ [22:40] zmoylan-pi: have you seen the big news!? http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_150-8475.php [22:41] i saw that but it's s30 so no java apps [22:41] i do have lower limits. :-D [22:41] :O [22:41] * daftykins sends this news to The Register [22:42] s40 gives me java apps. so i can use albite for ereader, jirc for irc, midpssh for ssh... [22:45] 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] well folks... http://i.imgur.com/SEuWN76.jpg [23:18] o/ [23:18] sleep well
