[03:37] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:23] <EriC^^> morning all
[06:29] <ducasse> good morning
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: welcome
[07:24] <rabel_> :)
[07:24] <rabel_> hi there. i heard that a lot of companies don't want to use ubuntu because it has no hardware certification and is considered "less enterprise" than sles or rhel by a lot of people. on the other hand i read that ubuntu is one of the most common linux distro out there. which is true? do you know any bigger companies that use ubntu as a server os?
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: debian & redhat are also know for many server uses Os
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> not sure wich is biggest
[07:25] <jink> YOUR MOM
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> !behelpful | jink
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> lol
[07:25] <jink> :')
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: ubuntu stats not too long ago, showed alot of server usage worldwide
[07:27] <rabel_> lotuspsychje: can you tell me where to look that up?
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: i think its pretty relative to compare stats like that, as we cant be 100% sure of what happens worldwide
[07:28] <ducasse> rabel_: i'm sure canonical would be happy to answer your questions about this, if you contact them
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: i think a good aproach for this, is to start inquire why you ask exactly?
[07:30] <rabel_> i ask because my boss told me to focus on the disitributions that potential customers are using. and he thinks that ubuntu is not one of them.
[07:31] <rabel_> lotuspsychje: so if i can provide him numbers or examples of big companies using ubuntu on servers, i can concentrate on ubuntu ;)
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: and your potential customers target server or home desktops?
[07:31] <rabel_> server
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> then your boss is pretty wrong
[07:32] <rabel_> that's what i think, too. but i need to show him something to convince him
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: this might be a good start: https://blog.ubuntu.com/2016/04/07/ubuntu-is-everywhere?utm_source=omgubuntu
[07:34] <rabel_> lotuspsychje: thank you.
[07:35] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: the article is from last year, so might have changed since then
[07:36] <rabel_> lotuspsychje: even more interesting would be if i find something for the situation in germany.
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: for that, perhaps would be wise as suggested contact canonical as ducasse said
[07:38] <rabel_> yes, probably.
[07:38] <rabel_> thank you both. i will do that :)
[07:38] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: if you can convince its to gain new customers to ubuntu server, pretty sure they gonna answer
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> !canonical
[07:41] <guiverc> rabel_, i see lots of stuff via ubuntu.insights (insights is marketing stuff from canonical) such as https://insights.ubuntu.com/2018/04/26/ubuntu-18-04-lts-optimised-for-security-multi-cloud-containers-ai/  that may be of interest; regularly articles focus on companies using ubuntu; but I rarely take much notice (other than scanning for uwn purposes [particularly in the past])
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> we should have a !contact trigger :p
[07:47] <lotuspsychje> rabel_: deutsche telekom is on ubuntu aswell
[07:50] <rabel_> lotuspsychje: are they? they are mentioned a lot, but i cannot find a place where is exactly that "telekom is on ubuntu", so that i could show it to my boss
[07:52] <lotuspsychje> Deutsche Telekom is developing and deploying many new cloud applications on Ubuntu OpenStack as part of its secure and highly scaleable public cloud Business Marketplace ecosystem for SMB customers.

[07:53] <rabel_> thx

[09:58] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[10:54] <daftykins> \o
[10:55] <BluesKaj> Hey daftykins
[10:56] <daftykins> all well? any progress with Konversation?
[11:01] <BluesKaj> not really ..no response to my queries in the konv chat
[11:01] <daftykins> :( not a good sign
[11:02] <daftykins> a few years ago i had the same kind of issue with irssi, but i'm glad they sorted that out
[11:02] <BluesKaj> most kde users run quassel which I find fugly and weirdly laid out without any options to change it
[14:32] <BluesKaj> ok trying out quassel , seems the socks5 proxyworks, and managed to make the "look" less annoying
[17:36] <oerheks_> instead of cat etc issue >> hostnamectl status :-D
[17:37] <oerheks_> but that reveals some unique numbers...
[19:15] <daftykins> o0
[19:19] <oerheks_> :-)
[21:55] <oerheks> oh, that annanilator .. if you cannot find the versions ..
[21:55] <oerheks> hi there TJ-
[21:55] <nacc> oerheks: right
[21:56] <TJ-> oerheks: how you doing?
[21:57]  * oerheks drops 4.17, waiting for 5
[21:57] <oerheks> good, long time no see :-D
[21:57] <TJ-> yeah, busy here on the farm
[21:59] <oerheks> I can imagine that
[21:59] <oerheks> this hot & wet spring, does nature explode :-D
[23:16] <oerheks> i bet "acpi_osi=Windows 2018\"
[23:19] <TJ-> something like that, or 2017. That'll likely solve all those AE_NOT_FOUND errors for several ACPI DSDT Methods
[23:21] <oerheks> and bios update, i already told him,
[23:23] <TJ-> There's a later firmware available?
[23:23] <oerheks> maybe ..
