| <AlexC> elkbuntu, do you want to start a albury LUG, i can get a good subdomain | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, it's crossed my mind, but i dont really have the resources to start one. there was one that tried to start up some years ago, which seems to be defunct | |
| <AlexC> webpage? elkbuntu | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, dont think there is/was one | |
| <AlexC> OK | |
| <elkbuntu> we would need more than a subdomain. we'd need a location and other members for start | |
| <AlexC> do you know anyone who would join it if we had one? | |
| <elkbuntu> not really | |
| <AlexC> OK | |
| <AlexC> maybe in a few years when Vista dies | |
| <elkbuntu> heh | |
| <AlexC> my friends say "windows will never die" | |
| <AlexC> won't they have a big shock | |
| <elkbuntu> it wont die completely | |
| <elkbuntu> they'll reinvent before then | |
| <AlexC> but OSs will overtake it | |
| <AlexC> reinvent? | |
| <hysterio> ala MacOSX | |
| <AlexC> but mac os x is unix now | |
| <AlexC> isn't it? | |
| <cps> yeah | |
| <cps> it's basically NextStep | |
| <AlexC> what BSD distro is the most "hardcore"? | |
| <elkbuntu> afaik freebsd is the most popular bsd | |
| <AlexC> i know | |
| <AlexC> but is it "hardcore" | |
| <AlexC> or "easy" | |
| <hysterio> try openbsd | |
| <AlexC> why? | |
| <hysterio> depends what you mean by "hardcore" | |
| <AlexC> not for people who want one like windows | |
| <AlexC> one that would terrify a windows user | |
| <AlexC> and make me happy | |
| <cps> you mean like some kind of "BSD from scratch"? | |
| <AlexC> yes | |
| * AlexC turns into hedgehog and eats self | |
| <siccness> beer time | |
| <siccness> 13:11 < elkbuntu> they'll reinvent before then <--there hasn't been any sign of them even thinking of doing so. | |
| <siccness> It hasn't changed in what? 12 or so years. | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, other than they have a linux lab, at this point, no, there's no sign. however... this is now... the future hasnt happened yet | |
| <siccness> Of course. I do agree with you, 'Windows' itself won't die. They will re-invent it, however, they haven't changed shit in over a decade really. | |
| <siccness> Linux is clearly becoming more and more popular, and i'm assuming Microsoft would be somewhat worried. | |
| <elkbuntu> they're worried enough to take novell seriously, given the failure of corel linux in the past | |
| <siccness> Exactly | |
| <siccness> Personally, I think the best way to attract new linux users would be to start focusing on greater software under Linux. | |
| <siccness> Rather than spending days-on-end arguing whether or not banning non-GPL modules is important or not. | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, thats what most of us are trying to do | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <elkbuntu> however, even those of us doing that have to watch our backs with regard to the politics | |
| <siccness> In what way exactly? | |
| <elkbuntu> Patents, for a start. It's hard to explain. | |
| <siccness> I have a general idea of what you're talking about, but it just seems to me that people are too caught up in the whole politics/morality of things. I understand that it's important, but a line needs to be drawn. | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, yes people like bruce perens declaring holy war is a bit much. | |
| <hysterio> siccness: but if people compromised in the past, would we be where we are today? | |
| <elkbuntu> maybe not. but we're not in the past anymore | |
| <elkbuntu> we're now in the age of DRM and bloodthirsty IP lawyers | |
| <hysterio> there is always an "enemy" | |
| <elkbuntu> that said, we need to maintain the integrity of the GPL, if it is going to continue being effective. it's there not just for the protection of the software author, but the protection of the forever after | |
| <siccness> Well I can't answer such hysterio, I'm not informed enough. I'm just stating what I know from my opinion, I could be ENTIRELY wrong, inaccurate about it all. It's just the way I see / feel about it. | |
| <hysterio> siccness: pragmatism helps to tame zealotry :) | |
| <siccness> Heheh :) | |
| <elkbuntu> im not saying everything should be a huge arguement, but due care needs to be taken, and some people are objecting to due care | |
| <elkbuntu> for two reasons, as well. | |
| <elkbuntu> 'it's not enough' and 'it's too much' | |
| <hysterio> < elkbuntu> maybe not. but we're not in the past anymore <--- not sure what you mean | |
| <Phlosten> howdy all | |
| <hysterio> hey Phlosten | |
| <siccness> Hey Phlosten | |
| <elkbuntu> hysterio, we're more visible now. it's easier for people to see what we do | |
| <elkbuntu> the internet has added more transparency to processes, which is good, but sometimes that works detrimentally | |
| <siccness> now, another important issue. Why are fast-food chains becoming shitter by the day with crappier food items? :P | |
| <hysterio> siccness: the most important issue, to be sure :) | |
| <siccness> my guess is based on Darwins theory of evolution, that kids tastebuds have become retarded. | |
| <AlexC> i don't know but they draw me | |
| <hysterio> survival of the shittest? | |
| <AlexC> i love them | |
| <siccness> sounds like it hysterio | |
| <AlexC> yet i know they are bad | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <siccness> AlexC: i can guarantee within 10-20 years you will hate them | |
| <AlexC> i like corner fast food | |
| <AlexC> the good stuff | |
| <AlexC> not chain | |
| <siccness> it isn't about how unhealthy the food is, it's just crappy-tasing crap. | |
| <siccness> Fish N Chips / Pizza / Local chicken shops aren't included. | |
| <siccness> They're entirely different. | |
| <AlexC> YAY, 87% of 1 file | |
| <elkbuntu> around here pizza is better from a chain | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: that alone is just sad. | |
| <siccness> :( | |
| <Phlosten> heh | |
| <AlexC> pizza is awesome | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, where do you get pizza from? | |
| <AlexC> dominos | |
| <siccness> ROFLMAO | |
| <siccness> HAHAHAHHAA | |
| <AlexC> but sometimes the non-chain places | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, it's about the closest to alex' place | |
| <AlexC> they seem not to be following the other chains | |
| <Phlosten> i dont think we have any non-chain pizza outlets | |
| <siccness> I'm sorry, but you haven't tasted good pizza if you've only been to Dominoes. | |
| <elkbuntu> i've tasted good pizza. i make good pizza | |
| <siccness> Take a long drive up to a suburb with a few pizza shops | |
| <siccness> try some | |
| <AlexC> that pizza place in dean street isn't chain | |
| <siccness> hell, make your own | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, ginos? | |
| <AlexC> i make it now and again | |
| <siccness> make mini-pizzas, grab an english muffin, tomato paste, mozarella, and whatever else you want | |
| <AlexC> i think? | |
| <siccness> throw em under your grill | |
| * hysterio is currently enjoying toast with spaghetti from a tin on it | |
| <siccness> and you're good to go. | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, we dont all have lygon st :( | |
| <siccness> lygon st is shit | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, it is? had good stuff years ago | |
| <elkbuntu> i havent been to melbourne much in the past decade or so | |
| <AlexC> i like the kabab place | |
| <siccness> Well if we're comparing it to domonies, than yes, lygon st is essentially your heaven. | |
| <AlexC> and the noodle place | |
| <elkbuntu> the albury noodle place > lavington noodle place | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: imo, to get good food these days it requires a bit of exploring. | |
| * AlexC sees that his download has reached 90% | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, there's not much to explore. we're in a 120k population center | |
| <Phlosten> AlexC, what are you downloading? | |
| <siccness> Unfortunately for you, it doesn't seem feasible :| | |
| <AlexC> the noodle place in dean st | |
| <AlexC> near kabab place | |
| <siccness> elkbuntu: so you have another great choice, experiment yourself ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, yes, that's what i mean | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, i do | |
| <AlexC> an OS | |
| <siccness> most take-away places use ingredients that anyone can buy from the local shop | |
| <AlexC> phlosten, minimax linux | |
| <siccness> you'll never find a shop that cooks a better roast lamb than what you can do at home. | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, no, most take away places around here order crap in especially to ruin food | |
| * AlexC dissagrees | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <siccness> The only thing I have trouble cooking is fish | |
| <siccness> hence why the fish n chip shop is often visited :) | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, you've never worked in fast food, so dont try disagree | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: do you like the charcoal chicken place | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, yes. they are ok | |
| <elkbuntu> i've worked for the wodonga store, i know how they do things | |
| * AlexC doesn't like fish | |
| <siccness> AlexC: fair enough, it's not everyones taste. | |
| <elkbuntu> they actualy do the best chooks on the border | |
| <elkbuntu> gimme seafood any day | |
| <siccness> I found a real nice chicken shop last night | |
| <siccness> $5.00 quater chick/chips | |
| <siccness> chicken was nice and juicy | |
| <elkbuntu> called? | |
| <siccness> no bullshit colouring added to them | |
| <AlexC> i like battered fish | |
| <siccness> just a local one | |
| <elkbuntu> nice | |
| <AlexC> but i think that is shark | |
| <siccness> flake is shark | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, considering sharks are fish... | |
| <AlexC> yes | |
| <siccness> try a whiting fish | |
| <elkbuntu> or flathead | |
| <siccness> they're quite nice | |
| <elkbuntu> flathead is good | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <siccness> grilled too | |
| <AlexC> i hate grilled fish | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, you've never had it done properly, that's why | |
| <AlexC> i did it at home | |
| <AlexC> it was sh...crap | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, if it didnt involve lemon slices and fresh herbs, you did it wrong | |
| <siccness> do you guys have your normal crap like maccas/hj/kfc etcc? | |
| <hysterio> no | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, and red rooter | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> oh, and subway | |
| <AlexC> it did though | |
| <siccness> ugh | |
| <AlexC> yes | |
| <AlexC> yeppers | |
| <hysterio> subway wouldnt be too bad if they werent so tight with the toppings | |
| <AlexC> i love subway | |
| <siccness> i hate subway :| | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <AlexC> i got four meatballs the other day | |
| <elkbuntu> subways around here are decent | |
| <AlexC> siccness, but you smell | |
| <siccness> that's some great logic there, AlexC | |
| <hysterio> AlexC: that shouldnt come into it - the people at subway are professionals | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, you probably had that same logic 6 years ago | |
| <siccness> Yes, but now i'm 6yrs older+ | |
| <siccness> so I can make fun of it :P | |
| <elkbuntu> lol | |
| <siccness> it's ok, he'll do the same in 6yrs time to someone else. | |
| * AlexC glances at the download to see a 93% | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <AlexC> when i'm 19? | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <AlexC> elkbuntu: what cafe do you like? | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, as in coffee? | |
| <AlexC> just general cafe things | |
| <elkbuntu> i generally dont do cafes | |
| <siccness> yeah, im not big on the cafe's either | |
| <AlexC> i like the retro youth cafe | |
| <AlexC> bc i volunteer there | |
| <siccness> AlexC: that's cool :) | |
| <AlexC> they make a nice bacon and egg roll | |
| <elkbuntu> i'm yet to step foot in that place, hehe | |
| <AlexC> best in town : ) | |
| <elkbuntu> it makes me feel old | |
| <siccness> AlexC: muffins, free-range eggs, don bacon, cook it yourself | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, for real maccas taste, use plastic cheese | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <siccness> exactly | |
| <elkbuntu> it's like better than the real thing | |
| <elkbuntu> oh, and remember to salt the egg | |
| <AlexC> not as good as muhummids breakfast | |
| <siccness> I dont know how people put salt one eggs | |
| <AlexC> yyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | |
| <siccness> pepper i do, salt is a bit of a no-no here :) | |
| <siccness> s/one/on | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, depends if you want real maccas taste or not | |
| <siccness> well if i wanted real maccas taste, i'd throw it into the toilet, pick it up, dry it and eat it. | |
| <elkbuntu> i usually dont salt the egg, because in truth the maccas b&e mms are too salty | |
| <AlexC> why not kill yourself the chicken too? | |
| <elkbuntu> AlexC, because they run too fast | |
| <elkbuntu> and crazy like without their heads | |
| <AlexC> its called a trap | |
| <elkbuntu> ok, you've never decapitated a chicken? | |
| <AlexC> they have this new invention, its called a gun | |
| <AlexC> it has a small explosion in a small pipe | |
| <elkbuntu> if i wanted to eat lead, i'd find some old paint to chew on | |
| <AlexC> and a metal object flies out | |
| <AlexC> and killes the chicken | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <elkbuntu> depends if you want minced chicken or not | |
| <siccness> best way to kill a chicken is with your bear hands, chuck norris style | |
| <AlexC> lol | |
| <hysterio> roundhouse kick? | |
| <elkbuntu> decapitating them is the best way | |
| <AlexC> pore chicken | |
| <siccness> you wanna grab it's neck, twist it, and then give it a good ol roundhouse kick while jumping in mid-air | |
| <AlexC> strangle with thys? | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, ever tried to kill a cockatoo like that? | |
| <siccness> yup | |
| <siccness> back in the days of being a farmer | |
| <elkbuntu> good fun, hey | |
| <siccness> pigs are much easier to kill tho | |
| <siccness> you just pour mud on them | |
| <siccness> and pull out the shotgun | |
| <siccness> *BANG* | |
| * AlexC calls RSPCA | |
| <siccness> yeah, the RSPCA probably eat bacon/ham too ya know | |
| <hysterio> siccness: you mean you cant kill a pig with a roundhouse kick? man you havent been practicing | |
| * AlexC gets bad response | |
| <siccness> hysterio: it's too easy with teh round house kick | |
| <siccness> so the shotgun is used to splatter it across the ground | |
| * AlexC calls animal rights canpainists | |
| <hysterio> i have a problem with pigs vaporising when i roundhouse kick them.. never thought of using a shotgun though | |
| <siccness> cows require a wrestling move I like to call the double-suplex | |
| <elkbuntu> yeah, they're a bit of a pain in the can | |
| <AlexC> its called a hole in the ground | |
| <siccness> then you ping them down for the 1...2...3 | |
| <hysterio> you could always choke-slam them | |
| <AlexC> w0000000000000000000000000000t, 100%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%555 | |
| <siccness> too hard, they're neck is too rough | |
| <hysterio> ive never had any difficulty | |
| <siccness> you can always do a spear-attack | |
| <siccness> at their feet | |
| <siccness> which causes them to collapse | |
| <siccness> than do bret hart grapple move | |
| <AlexC> i'll be back with a new OS | |
| <AlexC> see ya | |
| <siccness> catch | |
| <siccness> Hahah | |
| <elkbuntu> bwahaha.. i think he's trying bsd | |
| <siccness> LOL | |
| <elkbuntu> this is going to be funny | |
| <siccness> He's a nice kid considering he's at the age of "yo, im a gangsta man" | |
| <elkbuntu> siccness, no, that age comes next year, but he's the wrong type of kid | |
| <siccness> lol | |
| <hysterio> just be thankful he hasnt discovered 1337 h4x0r scripts and is using his botnet for spam | |
| <siccness> Hahahah | |
| <elkbuntu> hysterio, that's what i fear next year holds | |
| <siccness> Fortunately, he uses Linux which gives him some form of hope. | |
| <elkbuntu> thankfully, i now know where he lives, since i dropped him some edgy cds, so i can go whoop his ass if need be | |
| <hysterio> giving him the "spamming is not cool" talk | |
| <elkbuntu> hysterio, no, i'll outright whoop his ass | |
| <hysterio> elkbuntu: yeah, i think its for the best ;) | |
| <elkbuntu> if someone is stupid enough to think spamming is cool, then no amount of logic or reasoning is going to make a diff | |
| <Phlosten> bah, stupid packaging typos | |
| <siccness> but that cant happen to us, because it's always been a matter of trust! | |
| * siccness sings a long | |
| <Phlosten> anyone else hit the k3d typo bug? | |
| <Hobbsee> Phlosten: what is it? | |
| <Phlosten> there is a typo regarding the python version and so it fails to install, but I also cannot get it to remove | |
| <Phlosten> https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/k3d/+bug/64848 | |
| <Phlosten> its fixed in feisty, which is super for me running edgy and stuck with something that wont uninstall | |
| <siccness> heh, 1 letter causing such an issue :| | |
| <Phlosten> ah-ah, think i have a fix | |
| <Phlosten> had no idea where to fix this 1 letter issue | |
| <Hobbsee> Phlosten: sucky | |
| * Hobbsee doesnt want to do a SRU for that | |
| <elkbuntu> Phlosten, is there a bug reported? | |
| <elkbuntu> ah yeah | |
| <elkbuntu> i think my brain is sleeping tonight | |
| <Hobbsee> !sru | |
| <ubotu> Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for main and restricted, while https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU is for universe and multiverse. | |
| *** pschulz01_ is now known as pschulz01 | |
| <Phlosten> hazah! | |
| <Phlosten> fixed | |
| <siccness> howd you do it? | |
| <Phlosten> i looked at SRU and decided that it was too much effort | |
| <Phlosten> edit the k3d entry in /var/lib/dpkg/status | |
| <Phlosten> and remove the 's' | |
| <Phlosten> then reinstall, and all is good | |
| <Hobbsee> Phlosten: doesnt appear to be that bad. but it is a lot of effort, yes | |
| * Hobbsee starts it | |
| <siccness> well im old, nap-time. bbl | |
| <Phlosten> nap time? geez. *passes siccness his cane* | |
| <Phlosten> wow, k3d was worth fixing. it is nice | |
| <Hit3k> elkbuntu, why did they stop including Xchat in Ubuntu | |
| <hysterio> does anyone here have a core2duo desktop setup? | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, to make space for other things. gaim is still there | |
| <elkbuntu> Hit3k, at one point, there was 3 irc applications | |
| <Hit3k> ah ok | |
| <Hobbsee> Phlosten: right, that's waitng on the MOTU sru team for acking, then it's almost fixed | |
| <Hobbsee> Phlosten: attempting to shove it thru :P | |
| <Hobbsee> Phlosten: there's a quick way for SRU, it seems - not filling in all the details | |
| <Phlosten> nice | |
| * Hobbsee wonders about uploading it to -proposed anyway, and letting the archive people deal with it | |
| * Hobbsee suspects that wouldnt go down well | |
| <Phlosten> all this over an 's' | |
| <Phlosten> hehe | |
| <Phlosten> damn that s! | |
| <Hobbsee> yeah, i kjnow | |
| <Hobbsee> i've suggested that obviously wrong things nto have to go thru SRU's, but htey said no | |
| <Phlosten> hmm | |
| <Phlosten> is there a secure delete tool for ubuntu | |
| <Hobbsee> uh, mkfs? | |
| <hysterio> lol | |
| <hysterio> dd? | |
| <Phlosten> something that writes over top of deleted files | |
| <cps> have you been doing something naughty? | |
| <Phlosten> err, me? no never *hides* | |
| <cps> there is shred, but I don't know if it actually works, cause it relies on the file being overwritten at the same place on the disk | |
| <Phlosten> so it seems | |
| <cps> probably the only way you can be sure is do a: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/harddrive but this will erase everything | |
| <hysterio> what about dd if=/dev/urandom of=/pathto/filename ? | |
| <cps> that will be a lot faster, but less random | |
| <cps> oh wait | |
| <cps> to filename probably won't work | |
| <cps> same problem as with shred | |
| <cps> you aren't guaranteed that the file will be overwritten in place | |
| <Phlosten> yeah, from what I read with journalised fs, data is fricken everywhere | |
| <cps> yep, not to mention it's probably on the swap partition somewhere too | |
| <Phlosten> i suppose encryption from the start is the best option | |

| <siccness> hree's a much better example: app-editors/gedit | |
| <siccness> see how gedit is under app-editors | |
| <phlasphy> gentoo-uk is more helpful :P | |
| <siccness> it's just the layout of the portage tree | |
| <phlasphy> siccness, ohh ok one is the category | |
| <siccness> yes | |
| <siccness> If you're going to use gentoo, I do suggest you read the documentation available. | |
| <phlasphy> lol i have read it | |
| <siccness> otherwise people are going to flame you like all hell. | |
| <Hit3k> It took me 2 months to get gentoo working properly. I could never get the network working. | |

| <AlexC> when i try to start the ubuntu 6.10 live cd it reads: invalid compressed format (err=2) Kernal panic - not syncing : VFS : unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(1,0) | |
| <merlin-linux> chilling | |
| <merlin-linux> AlexC: it sounds like a screwed iso download | |
| <siccness> AlexC: Not a definite answer but perhaps a f0rked cd/iso? | |
| <AlexC> i got it off elkbuntu | |
| <Tatey> yea, not alot | |
| <AlexC> they wornt burnt | |
| <siccness> That explains it then, elkbuntu can't burn anything right :P | |
| <Changlinn> AlexC: run the check disc | |
| <elkbuntu> they're the official cds | |
| <Changlinn> funky | |
| <siccness> Ooo | |
| <AlexC> they were covered with a printed cover | |

| <siccness> LOL | |
| <AlexC> i tried it on 2/3 cds | |
| <AlexC> no workies | |
| <Changlinn> cool... maybe your cd drive doesn't support el torito or whatever it is | |
| <AlexC> but i ran the 6.06 livecd | |
| <AlexC> welcome back | |
| <Changlinn> dunno | |
| <siccness> Changlinn: that wouldn't make sense if he was able to load it to the menu | |
| <elkbuntu> that may possibly have been the wrong button | |
| <siccness> besides, no one owns a cd-rom older than 10 years these days :P | |
| <Changlinn> siccness: yeah I guess, I dunno | |
| <AlexC> maybe elkbuntu is trying to destroy all humans | |
| <siccness> Air-tight theory there, AlexC | |
