| lotuspsychje | hey Bashing-om time for a coffee then :p | 05:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: installed artful on my desktop yesterday | 05:07 |
| lotuspsychje | as its rock solid already | 05:07 |
| Bashing-om | Testers say they have had nothing to do . Does not break . :) | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 05:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: the world stands still at your timezone i think | 05:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Bashing-om: meaning its time for a new ubuntu release :p | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | to get the channel crowdy again | 05:13 |
| Bashing-om | Naw . 'buntu has become so solid and user friendly that a new release no longer is a big deal in support :( | 05:14 |
| lotuspsychje | also true! | 05:14 |
| Bashing-om | The last big fu-fer-all I recall was the 12.04 release . | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | i think 17.10 will be the bomb | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | so many gnome changes lately | 05:17 |
| Bashing-om | Yeah .. 17.10 will be " somerging else" .. I look forward to what 18.04 is to be . | 05:20 |

| lordievader | Good morning | 07:12 |

| ducasse | hi lordievader | 07:27 |
| ducasse | all well? | 07:27 |
| lordievader | Hi ducasse, doing allright here. | 07:28 |
| lordievader | Ordered a new keyboard yesterday \o/ | 07:28 |
| lordievader | How are you doing? | 07:28 |
| ducasse | oh, what model? i'm fine, thanks - trying to wake up :) | 07:30 |
| lordievader | A Ducky One TKL with blue leds and MX Browns :D | 07:30 |
| lordievader | Wanted a smaller mechanical keyboard for easier traveling. | 07:31 |
| lordievader | My fullsize keyboard does not fit in my backpack :( | 07:31 |
| ducasse | nice :) i've got a das keyboard pro 4 with mx blue - totally love it. | 07:31 |
| ducasse | 'tkl' = 'tenkeyless'? | 07:32 |
| lordievader | The one I have at home is also a DAS keyboard. One with blank keycaps and mx browns as well. | 07:32 |
| lordievader | Yes. Without the numpad. | 07:32 |
| ducasse | how much was the ducky? | 07:34 |
| lordievader | 90 euros. But I had a gift card. | 07:35 |
| lordievader | Originally it was a 114. | 07:35 |
| lordievader | The one without the leds at the cheapest place was the same price. | 07:36 |
| ducasse | you need blue leds, though ;) | 07:36 |
| lordievader | Hahaha, honestly I don't know XD | 07:36 |
| lordievader | There is also an RGB version, but that one is about 20-30 euros more expensive. | 07:37 |
| ducasse | proper mechanical keyboards are hard to find here, almost everything you find are these cheesy backlit gaming things. | 07:38 |
| ducasse | i used to have a razer, but their switches are nowhere near as nice as cherry's. | 07:39 |
| lordievader | I had the same feeling when hunting for one. | 07:42 |
| lordievader | On the one hand I had the idea that other switches might be okay, but on the other hand, of MX switches I know they are nice. | 07:43 |
| ducasse | there are other nice switches, but generally not on gaming keyboards that i've tried. i'm sticking with cherry until i find something i'm certain i like better. | 07:46 |
| lordievader | Yes, if you can try them first it is a different story, but spending ~100 euros on something you are not sure about.... | 07:47 |
| ducasse | exactly. i'm now looking for a good trackball, to take the load off my hands and wrists. not much to choose from, unfortunately, and almost never on display on shops. | 07:50 |
| lordievader | No, you rarely see those things. I happen to know our secretary uses one. | 07:52 |
| ducasse | i have to wear this support thing for my right wrist, and keep hearing that trackballs can help... | 07:54 |
| nicomachus | !eol | 15:35 |
| ubot5 | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 15:35 |
| daftykins | :D | 15:36 |
| nicomachus | that wiki page is SO OUT OF DATE | 15:38 |
| nicomachus | like every other. | 15:38 |
| nicomachus | "specific examples" at the bottom only goes up to 11.04 > 12.04 upgrade | 15:38 |
| daftykins | hahaha :D | 15:38 |
| nicomachus | trying to help some kid on reddit that is stuck on 16.10 and is getting errors from do-release-upgrade... it'd be nice to have specific instructions. but ok. | 15:39 |
| daftykins | you might have to go Lt. Ripley on them | 15:39 |
| nicomachus | Lt. Ripley? | 15:40 |
| nicomachus | god, this page still shows apt-get instructions too. bah. | 15:40 |
| nicomachus | https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/6xdl7r/cant_upgrade_ubuntu/ | 15:41 |
| nicomachus | ^ that's the thread | 15:41 |
| nicomachus | I've never seen that output as an error message before, but I've also never seen `update-manager -c` before | 15:43 |
| daftykins | yeah Alien, "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" | 15:44 |
| nicomachus | oh | 15:45 |
| nicomachus | well, I did recommend - in bold - that he should backup and do a fresh install. but then I also included the EOLUpgrades instructions. | 15:45 |
| nicomachus | when is 17.04 EOL? January? | 15:52 |
| nicomachus | I forget. | 15:52 |
| nicomachus | !17.04 | 15:52 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Read the release notes at https://ubottu.com/y/zesty | 15:52 |
| nicomachus | Also, this thread is great: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/6xf6uj/if_people_spoke_to_car_mechanics_like_it/ | 15:55 |
| nicomachus | U: For some reason my seat got moved. Does that have anything to do with that Volkswagen diesel scam thing? | 15:56 |
| nicomachus | M: Sir, your car is a Toyota | 15:56 |
| daftykins | :> | 15:57 |
| daftykins | i replied to a client about a slow PC with the price of an SSD, not heard anything since | 15:57 |
| nicomachus | he actually just wanted an oil change. :P | 16:00 |
| daftykins | "it keeps leaking out!" | 16:00 |
| ducasse | daftykins: your client probably thought "he's just trying to sell me unnecessary stuff", thinking it would make no difference at all. he would have been surprised :D | 17:31 |
| daftykins | :> | 17:32 |

| nicomachus | welp. tried to run a script to remove some duplicates from a VERY large spreadsheet in librecalc. RAM immediately filled to max. Everything froze. No response for over 10 mins. Had to do a hard-shutdown. :/ | 19:19 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Ouch ! .. Massaging/migrating a large data base here also . in small steps ... day 3 for me - in between times :) | 19:55 |
| nicomachus | it worked ont he second try, but I highlighted the data instead of just the whole sheet. | 19:57 |
| daftykins | :) | 19:57 |
| nicomachus | idk why all those empty cells caused problems, but oh well | 19:57 |
| daftykins | does smell a bit like bug potential | 19:58 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Even empty cells have addressing overhead :) | 19:58 |
| nicomachus | it's a third-party librecalc extension, so probably very buggy. | 19:59 |
