Kiloslekker got fan blowing on me13:22
Kiloshehe13:23
Kilosactuaaly a bit too cool for total comfort13:23
LangjanHi all18:41
LangjanYou ok Kilos ?18:41
LangjanHi nsnzero 18:42
Langjannsnzero,  thanks for asking the other day, yes it was me trying to get second drive connected to network 18:43
Langjansorry did not see you on the chat since18:43
nsnzerohi Langjan - no problem - i frequently get disconnected - mobile networks ???18:52
LangjanEish! And I get upset when my adsl gets disconnected once in a blue moon!18:55
nsnzerolol - its very irritating when chatting - it sometimes update after the 5th or 6th reply as been sent ... leaving me in the dark 18:58
LangjanYes I know what you mean, have been connected on mobile a few times (too many) 18:59
nsnzeroare you still having trouble with samba / network ?19:00
LangjanWell I have network connected but only the files and folders, my actual mission is to be able to set Timeshift to backup snapshots to my additional hard drive - this is still eluding me 19:02
LangjanThat is backups from my other machine, connected via router and ethernet19:03
nsnzeroyou can mount a samba shared drive as an actual device on your computer - remote drive 19:05
nsnzeroi know how to do that on a local network 19:06
LangjanMy computer mounts it automatically, n problem, but the second cmputer is the issue19:06
LangjanComputers network via smb19:08
nsnzerowhat happens in the second computer ?19:08
LangjanIt does not see the backup drive in my machine19:09
nsnzerook quick checklist - did you enable file sharing via nemo ? right click on device enable file sharing ...19:10
LangjanI have done that, it does not seem to "take" - next time settings are lost 19:11
LangjanOh and I'm no longer on Nemo, am using Nautilus19:12
nsnzeroi had that problem once - its was because i wasnt the actual user / root for the 2nd HDD19:13
smileLangjan: why did you make the switch? :)19:13
nsnzerohi smile 19:13
smilehi nsnzero we never really talk, but just say hi :p is that intentional?19:14
nsnzeroi just dont like not greeting someone 19:15
LangjanHi smile, what switch? From Nemo? It was suggested to me that Nautilus has more features and I do prefer it to Nemo - if it works, which it seems to be doing now 19:16
smileLangjan: yes :) that's what I wanted to hear19:17
smilensnzero: okay :)19:17
nsnzerosmile: how did it go with the Mozilla addon ?19:18
Kilosyeah im ok ty Langjan just busy making supper19:18
LangjanI had to delete some cinnamon files that apparently get installed for some reason and then mess up19:18
LangjanGood Kilos 19:18
nsnzeroKilos: good evening 19:18
Kiloshi nsnzero Langjan 19:18
LangjanHii again Kilos 19:19
Kilos16.04 has given you hassles hey19:19
smilensnzero: well, actually I found a lot more bugs :p I fixed what I could, but now the translation will be limited to 150 characters because of a bug in Firefox itself19:19
Kilosmy kde works lekker19:19
smileI hope they'll resolve it, otherwise I'll have to find a workaround19:19
smilethe Mozilla peeps are very friendly :)19:19
Kilos:)19:21
Kilosyou always breaking stuff smile 19:21
nsnzeroi hope they expedite the matter smile 19:21
smileKilos: no, Mozilla peeps always breaking stuff! :D19:21
Kiloslol19:21
smileI filed two or three bugs in two days time! :o 19:21
LangjanIts the young and the aged that seem to break most stuff19:22
smileLangjan: the aged break bones, the young break other stuff :p 19:22
LangjanLmga!19:22
smile:D19:22
Langjanlike hearts...?19:22
smileyeah ;)19:22
LangjanThats cruel19:23
Kiloslol19:23
smilensnzero: yeah, I could implement a workaround if I spend an hour on it, but for now I'll keep it this way19:23
Kilosone thing is everyone gets here if they lucky19:23
LangjanI used to do it19:23
Kilosin hospital many 45 year olds with heart attacks19:23
smilemaybe after I've used the sidebar API in my addon, when a new release is due, that I'll include a workaround19:23
LangjanThose are not broken, they're abused19:24
smileLangjan: if love is what unites us, then love equally divides us :p 19:24
Langjansmile, true love cannot divide  19:25
nsnzerosmile: you will probably have to translate a word or three at a time ... 19:26
smileLangjan: it divides lovers that were previously together19:27
nsnzeroLangjan: did you check if you have root permission on the 2nd HDD ?19:27
smilensnzero: yeah, but some users prefer to translate whole texts :p19:27
Langjansorry nsnzero I dont know how, will have to google it19:28
nsnzerosmile: thats right i was thinking of a buffer but i realized firefox is giving you 150 characters only 19:29
smilensnzero: indeed :)19:29
smilehttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133889819:29
