[07:56] <diplo> Morning all, anyone deployed AWX yet ( Ansible Tower )
[08:19] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls
[08:22] <diplo> Morning brobostigon, any news yet ?
[08:25] <brobostigon> diplo: no, not yet, i was going to email them.
[08:29] <diplo> Worth a try, I hear its not very often you get a reply if you haven't got the job now adays ( I found that after some interviews recently ) one took over a month to come back to me
[08:33] <brobostigon> yes, thats nominally accurate, i think on average i hear back from about 2/10.
[08:35] <diplo> I really must start looking myself again at some point
[08:35] <brobostigon> :)
[09:01] <christel> morning you guys! :)
[09:02] <diplo> Hey christel
[09:12] <brobostigon> morning christel :)
[09:53]  * daftykins yawns despite being up since 7
[10:09] <foobarry> can anyone recommend a vga switcher? my father in law has a belkin and its not working as expected
[10:09] <foobarry>  Belkin Flip USB KVM Switch Model No: F1DF102U.
[10:10] <daftykins> VGA :(
[10:10] <foobarry> yeah. he has apple devices and apple big screen
[10:11] <foobarry> but i can't get sufficient info out of him about the connections
[10:11] <daftykins> they must be museum pieces, what's it doing? could be bad unshielded cables
[10:11] <foobarry> they are modern apples
[10:11] <daftykins> probably a lot better choice available then :D but nah never bought a KVM
[10:12] <foobarry> do apple screens have display port?
[10:13] <foobarry> e.g. this one? https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/HD505ZM/A/kensington-safestand-secure-clicksafe-keyed-locking-station?fnode=8a
[10:16] <daftykins> not aware of any iMacs allowing external input
[10:17] <daftykins> ugh paperwork from NatWest asking me where i'm a tax resident, old account in England from Uni time
[14:54] <foobarry> is there a list of recommendations for how to make unity snappy? popey had done some i think?
[14:55] <foobarry> i have to deploy a load which will be accessed remotely using vmware VDI
[14:56] <daftykins> is it wise to put in at all given it's dead? suppose you only have the life of 16.04 LTS left
[14:56] <foobarry> its for a student course for a year
[14:57] <daftykins> ah-ha
[15:03] <awilkins> Well, Xenial is LTS to 2021
[15:03] <awilkins> Thank heavens, I *hate* GNOME shell as presented in 17.10
[15:04] <awilkins> Tried it out on my laptop and just went *yuk* and rolled back to xenial within a week - even though I had 17.04 on it in the first place.
[15:04] <daftykins> ;]
[15:10] <awilkins> popey's enthusiastic posts about it notwithstanding, they just feel like Stockholm Syndrome to me :-P
[15:11] <popey> I have 16.04 on my main laptop
[15:11] <awilkins> Tried Unity 8 on 17.10 but it just doesnae work at all.
[15:15] <daftykins> :)
[16:23] <diddledan> popey: how long are ya'll in frenchland?
[16:24] <popey> Fly back Monday
[16:25] <diddledan> fly?!
[16:25] <diddledan> choochoo!
[16:30] <diddledan> sabdfl is at 16:50 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b093yyjg/bbc-business-live-07092017#
[16:36] <diddledan> annoying that the presenters were more interested in talking about space than Ubuntu
[16:37] <daftykins> but spaaaaace!
