[09:03] Morning all [09:03] yo [09:07] popey: I love you pew pew pew announcements because I can hear you saying it in your I'm a big kids voice ;) [09:11] hah [09:31] morning boys and girls. [09:45] morning [12:36] £500 for a mobo?! http://www.ebuyer.com/769274-gigabyte-intel-aorus-ga-z270x-gaming-9-lga-1151-e-atx-motherboard-ga-z270x-gaming-9 [12:38] aimed at gamers... they'll pay silly money for things... bless them... :-) [12:38] haha, all those LEDs [12:39] yeah I was laffin at the LEDs [12:39] and also only £499.94... so 6p short of 500 quid... so a bargain... :-P [12:42] that's probably enough for a pack of noodles to last you till you can afford real food again... [13:26] But light up RAM sockets! [13:26] Who wouldn't want those! [13:26] I constantly stare at my RAM sockets when playing games thinking "I could headshot that guy much better if only my RAM was better illuminated." [13:30] yeah, I've never understood gaming cases either [13:32] all the moth wings flapping after been attracted by the light adds to cooling [13:39] hmmm, i think google is going full evil trying to make us train their terminators... https://imgur.com/gallery/VgxcD [13:41] can anyone recommend a car dash cam? [13:42] reasonably priced... [13:42] isn't there an app to make your phone do that? [13:43] zmoylan-pi: wtf @ terminator school [13:51] it's just a cool new a.i. called skynet... :-P [15:15] foobarry, I have the DOD LS360W [15:16] I bought mine using Canadian monopoly money, so it's not that expensive [15:16] cost me $150 CAD, so in GBP, probably be picked up for around 100. [15:16] or maybe less [15:17] oof, still quite a lot though :( [15:18] It's a good dashcam. The recording quality is pretty good. [15:19] I looked at cheaper ones, but could never properly read license plates when playing back, or sometimes it picks up a lot of vibration. this one is clear, barely any vibration.. [19:23] Is tere a diddledan on this flight? If so, can you please make yourself known to the cabin staff. [19:24] Reaso0n: corebird-diddledan has a problem [19:24] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24015321/ [19:24] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24015321/ [19:25] Corebird ["normal"] was uninstalled - system restarted [yawn]. [19:25] no idea why you're getting that [19:26] snap install seemed ok, but gave above message upon request pin [19:27] so snap remove'd it, restarted, tried the snap via Ubuntu software, restarted [yawn].... same result [19:27] try installing with sudo - if that works then there's a snapd bug [19:28] upon next restart [yawn] "Ubuntu has encountered an internal error... etc [19:28] It was installed with sudo [19:29] which version of ubuntu? [19:29] [the "internal" error was given the go ahead to report itself btw] [19:29] I'll dupe your setup [19:29] 16.04.2 [ also happened when tried when it was still 16.04.1] [19:30] did you login to the snap store or leave it logged-out? [19:31] dunno [first attempt was via "sudo snap install corebird-diddledan] [19:31] after fail, sudo snapo remove same [19:32] restarted, then tried via Ubuntu Software [19:32] same result [19:32] ok [19:32] just waiting till the iso downloads before I spin-up a vm [19:33] ..and this is not a complaint... this is, hopefully of help to you [19:34] yeah, I'm not sure where the problem is, but I'm hoping it can be isolated. I think it is a bug in snapd [19:35] oooo [19:35] [if it is of help - other snaps installed and all fully ok are: [19:36] Dekko, hMyGirraffe, LibreOffice, PlanetLander [19:37] ^OhMyGirrafe.... highly recommended for a llaugh btw [19:39] I wonder if I can automate creating test environments with powershell...? [19:40] (I'm on 'dows right now :-p) [19:40] nearly installed [19:41] well, if nothing else, this is teaching patience :D [19:41] when it works corebird is great :-) [19:42] what's really confusing is I've installed personally on multiple setups (mostly VM) and had it work ootb [19:43] yeah, I had it already installed before trying the snap, like it a lot. [but it was fully removed prior to the snap install and a restart [yawn] done to ensure clean memory etc [19:44] I'm gonna try that scenario specifically I think [19:44] could it be that snap is finding something to do with the previous apt version, I wonder [19:45] oh one thought, try running a sudo snap refresh core [19:46] yeak, thanks. I think if the snap was a total snafu, you'd have heard by now. It may be something to do with a sys that has previousdly had an apt vewrsion on it. [19:46] now running the above suggeation [19:47] "snap "core" has no updates available" [19:47] ok. from a clean install (sparkly!) the steps to get a working install are : sudo apt install snapd-xdg-open; sudo snap install corebird-diddledan; /snap/bin/corebird-diddledan.corebird [19:48] now let me try another clean install with corebird installed via apt first [19:50] https://paste.ubuntu.com/24015505/ may be of interest [19:58] it's not an issue with corebird having been installed and active (logged-into twitter) beforehand [19:59] hmmmmmmmmmmm.... [19:59] I just cannot get it to not work unless I don't install snapd-xdg-open (but you've got that already so that's not an issue) [20:00] triple negative! [20:01] it must be something to do with this here system of mine... "something" :-( [20:01] I have no idea what tho [20:02] can you paste the output of `snap version` ? [20:02] mine is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/24015557 [20:04] mine is at https://paste.ubuntu.com/24015564/ [20:04] so you're running the same tooling as me then, not an issue there >.< [20:04] agreed [20:05] * SuperEngineer thinks best thing is for me to "sleep on this" and see if brain has any ideas in the morning [20:06] try popping along to #snappy in the morrow to see if the gurus can be any more help than my flailing :-D [20:07] I think we can say _something_ specific to the evolution of your system has conflicted with snappy, but finding out what that something is I think is gonna be a guessing game and prodding bits n pieces until something skewiff turns-up [20:07] well, the way that was put, at least I've now now got a smile/grin on my face ;-) [20:08] and thanks for all the effort [20:08] anytime :-) [20:09] I really wanna know what the problem is - I hate when things are odd for a really small population [20:09] "works on my machine" doesn't really help [20:10] I will keep you updated with thoughts/efforts/attempts and hopefully, with what made it work.../me does precautionary restart [yawn] [20:10] you'll get cooties from all this rebooting :-p [20:10] yikes! [20:11] run.... COOTIES [20:11] I prefer cuties! [20:11] ditto [20:11] twitter.com/emergencykittens ftw [20:11] no no, cooties only come from windows reboots... linux doesn't reboot often enough for an organism to live off reboots... :-P [20:12] oh capitalisaion: https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens [20:12] oh they mispelled emergency [20:13] EK on twitter is highly recommended by me... so that means absolutely not recommended for all [20:13] here's a cutie for the brain: https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens/status/832465897503600640 [20:13] [e.g. not for dog owners] [20:15] for dog owners, there's https://twitter.com/CuteEmergency/status/832054405620830208 [20:18] wow, this cat is pretty af https://twitter.com/EmrgencyKittens/status/830865315185696770 [20:19] beware if doing a search for eith the kittens or non-kittens feeds... there are several spoof accounts on twitter and they may not be "friendly" [20:19] ^either [20:19] cooties time! [20:19] \o/ [20:20] sorry, meant "restart time"
