| abstradelic | hi ! | 00:24 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | \o | 00:25 |
| abstradelic | greetings | 00:25 |
| abstradelic | greetings all | 00:26 |
| daftykins | unlikely to get much at this hour, given the timezone and all | 00:26 |
| daftykins | what brings you to a UK channel? | 00:26 |
| abstradelic | then... I have interest in Qt-based platform | 00:29 |
| abstradelic | what do you can tell me about? | 00:30 |
| daftykins | nothing | 00:30 |
| abstradelic | qt-based is really nice? | 00:30 |
| abstradelic | ubuntu is allready qt-based? | 00:31 |
| daftykins | you should probably take this topic to #ubuntu-discuss | 00:31 |
| abstradelic | then... you you allways talk for all? | 00:32 |
| daftykins | it's a friendly suggestion given you came into a channel for people, where it's half past midnight | 00:35 |
| daftykins | i suggested a channel intended for discussion that's 24/7 :) | 00:35 |
| ali1234 | is #ubuntu-discuss an active channel? | 00:39 |
| ali1234 | a lot of -discuss and -offtopic places tend to be dead | 00:39 |
| daftykins | i spoke in -discuss just a moment ago! | 00:40 |
| daftykins | it's a bit odd how much this channel attracts folk from other countries though, i feel like they've all been fed propaganda that all British are friendly | 00:40 |
| ali1234 | but we are :) | 00:41 |
| ali1234 | wasn't this channel like the default join for some irc client as well? | 00:41 |
| ali1234 | or am i thinking of another... | 00:41 |
| daftykins | hmm | 00:42 |
| daftykins | you know what's weird? i saw an american using this ntalk.de client recently, it seems to be ancient | 00:43 |
| ali1234 | i've never heard of it... but i never really used irc on windows | 00:44 |
| daftykins | hmm could've sworn when i checked it was cross platform, seems not | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | it's FOSS | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | so probably, but it seems mainly developed for windows (all screenshots on the homepage are XP) | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | XP and 7 that is | 00:45 |
| daftykins | maybe even Vista | 00:46 |
| daftykins | but mm, seemed like a bad choice | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | i used ICQ/MSN etc before IRC... that's why i still use pidgin today, even though IRC is the only service it still supports | 00:46 |
| daftykins | heh down to a one trick pony indeed | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | even the lead dev acknowledges it's a problem :) | 00:47 |
| ali1234 | he does coding streams on twitch :) | 00:47 |
| daftykins | mr.purple huh? xD | 00:48 |
| ali1234 | which ironically, twitch supports IRC connections to their chat | 00:48 |
| ali1234 | https://www.twitch.tv/rw_grim | 00:48 |
| daftykins | well it is just modded IRC afaiui | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | yes. it doesnt support everything and makes pidgin throw error boxes because it can't eg get a list of users in a channel | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | but it does work | 00:49 |
| daftykins | i use livestreamer.io myself still to watch the feeds, if i'm on a PC | 00:53 |
| daftykins | mostly it's the app on my Amazon FireTV - although it's horrifically buggy | 00:54 |
| daftykins | i've even reported it and they don't even reply | 00:54 |
| abstradelic | I use irc long time ago | 00:56 |
| diplo | Morning all | 08:23 |
| SuperMatt | morning | 08:27 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:06 |
| SuperMatt | Where does communitheme stand with Ubuntu 18.04. Do we know yet if it's going to be the default? | 09:29 |
| SuperMatt | The answer is: https://community.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-participation-an-ubuntu-default-theme-lead-by-the-community/1545/574 | 10:01 |
| diplo | Anyone use the Skype snap ? | 10:03 |
| SuperMatt | I've been using it | 10:07 |
| diplo | Skype snap list shows 8.16.0.4 the app under help shows 4.3 ? | 10:11 |
| diplo | Also, can't get it ot login, do the auth part and just spins | 10:11 |
| abstradelic | Morning | 10:17 |
| SuperMatt | diplo: *shrug* | 10:30 |
| SuperMatt | logs in just fine for me | 10:31 |
| SuperMatt | or it did last time I logged in | 10:31 |
| SuperMatt | Lemm try now in my vm | 10:31 |
| SuperMatt | *lemme | 10:31 |
| diplo | ta fanx, no rush | 10:35 |
| SuperMatt | version showing as 8.16.0.4 | 10:36 |
| diplo | under help ? | 10:36 |
| SuperMatt | are you sure you don't have skype installed any other way? | 10:36 |
| SuperMatt | yeah, under help | 10:36 |
| diplo | Nope, I was thinking that too | 10:36 |
| diplo | Removed the snap and reinstalled to be sure, app menu option disappeared on removal | 10:36 |
| SuperMatt | strange | 10:36 |
| diplo | Will do a find/locate as well now | 10:37 |
| SuperMatt | I couldn't even get in to the "about" page until I logged in | 10:37 |
| SuperMatt | type `which skype` in your terminal | 10:37 |
| diplo | yeah /snap/bin | 10:37 |
| SuperMatt | did you install with --classic? | 10:40 |
| diplo | Yep | 10:40 |
| diplo | Going to post in the forums, may be just me :) | 10:40 |
| diplo | Joys of working for a old company, having to create a package for CentOS 5 :/ | 10:42 |
| SuperMatt | Surprised CentOS 5 isn't EOL yet | 10:44 |
| SuperMatt | oh, it was EOL last year | 10:45 |
| SuperMatt | gotta have words with your boss | 10:45 |
| SuperMatt | I would point blank refuse to make a package for CentOS 5 | 10:45 |
| diplo | Customers running it, not us | 10:45 |
| diplo | But we run software on there we need to monitor more for | 10:46 |
| diplo | I've said we ought to tell customers tough | 10:46 |
| diplo | But this is the last one on 5, still have 5 on Cent4! | 10:46 |
| SuperMatt | jeez | 10:46 |
| SuperMatt | I don't know how companies manage to get themselves into such a mess | 10:47 |
| diplo | Yup | 10:47 |
| diplo | Did you know that GoDaddy still run Cent4 machines | 10:47 |
| diplo | And the reason why is most small companies won't spend money on IT | 10:47 |
| SuperMatt | oh I know that | 10:48 |
| SuperMatt | I used to work for Rackspace | 10:48 |
| SuperMatt | we had customers who refused to upgrade their RedHat boxes | 10:48 |
| diplo | It's a pain in my rear! Yes we do too | 10:48 |
| SuperMatt | And I mean Red Hat, not RHEL, actual Red Hat | 10:48 |
| diplo | I've told my bosses they need to write clauses into their contracts on renewal | 10:48 |
| SuperMatt | Before Enterprise Linux was a thing | 10:48 |
| diplo | We just got rid of our last RH7 box and 2 SCO 5? boxces | 10:49 |
| SuperMatt | A year after heartbleed, we still had customer that refused to let us restart services | 10:49 |
| diplo | Oh blimey | 10:49 |
| diplo | We have an issue on some hardware, where it has been set up using intel software raid | 10:49 |
| diplo | If I update past cent 6.5, it wipes /home | 10:50 |
| SuperMatt | I tried to explain - in the time it takes for a service to restart, the end user will simply refresh the page and it will be back up again. It's seconds, not hours to restart a service. Any money lost in that period is *nothing* compared to the amount of money that could be lost due to a breach caused by heartbleed | 10:51 |
| diplo | They don't seem to comprehend it do they. | 10:52 |
| diplo | I've rebooted 2 servers recently that have 5+ year uptime | 10:52 |
| SuperMatt | Good! | 10:53 |
| diplo | I'm just scared of rebooting these boxes, had so many issues with them, but done about 80 servers now for customers | 10:54 |
| diplo | But since going through this, found 3 sites with raid issues | 10:54 |
| diplo | Phone them up, yeah we've been hearing clicking noises... | 10:54 |
| diplo | We don't have to support these, I do it for our ease of life | 10:55 |
| SuperMatt | They've been hearing clicking noises and didn't think to contact anyone? | 10:55 |
| diplo | Yep | 10:58 |
| diplo | Welcome to my world | 10:58 |
| SuperMatt | never ceases to amaze | 10:58 |
| diplo | Or me | 11:00 |
| diplo | Had another one with a mirror'd drive, we've offered to fix it for free ( apart from price of disks ) and it has taken him 6 months with multiple prompting to fill a form out agreeing it | 11:14 |
| === m0nkey__ is now known as m0nkey_ | ||
| diplo | 12:52 | |
| SuperMatt | 12:54 | |
| diplo | Focus on the wrong screen | 13:01 |
| diplo | Fun with firewall rules on a Draytek router :/ | 13:01 |
| UncleMurda | UncleMurda | 20:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | well that was enlightening... :-) | 20:47 |
| daftykins | diplo: those things are so horrible :D | 20:56 |
