| <morgs> Morning all | |
| <linuxboy> morning morgs | |
| <morgs> linuxboy: You're in this channel even when nobody else is, and you don't notice a meeting happening? ;-) | |
| <linuxboy> morgs: was it announced in teh channel ? | |
| <Vhata> he's never in this channel when nobody else is | |
| * morgs did a "hear ye hear ye" | |
| <linuxboy> Vhata: true | |
| * morgs originally thought linuxboy was a bot | |
| <morgs> ;-) | |
| <morgs> The topic for the channel does say "Watch the Mailing List for the next meeting..." | |
| <morgs> and it was announced there... | |
| <morgs> Our list is so low-traffic we could liven things up by announcing new mail in the channel ;-) | |
| <Vhata> haha | |
| *** morgs is now known as b1ff | |
| <b1ff> you have new mail | |
| *** b1ff is now known as morgs | |
| <Vhata> heh | |
| <Vhata> do you know where 'biff' got its name? | |
| <morgs> The dog that barked when the postman came... | |
| <Vhata> "The biff command appeared in 4.0BSD. “Biff” was Heidi Stettner’s dog. He died in August 1993, at 15." | |
| <Vhata> what happened to the other 951 Seekers? | |
| <Seeker_952> Don't know | |
| <Vhata> well, who told you to use 952? | |
| <Seeker_952> just pick a number at random | |
| <Seeker_952> picked | |
| <linuxboy> doesn't seem very random | |
| <Vhata> edubuntugirl: rnd(1000) | |
| <edubuntugirl> Vhata: 458.910513887517 | |
| <Vhata> that's random. | |
| <Vhata> 951 != 458.910513887517 | |
| *** Seeker_952 is now known as Hunter-Seeker | |
| *** Hunter-Seeker is now known as hunter-seeker | |
| <hunter-seeker> I use it because some programs think hunter-seeker is too long. And seeker is too common | |
| <Vhata> why does it have to be 'hunter-seeker' or 'seeker' ? | |
| <Vhata> it's like people who get personalised numberplates that say "John 67" | |
| <Vhata> dude, if you have to put '67' on the end, it ain't "personalised" | |
| <hunter-seeker> well I've never being given a nickcname and I like C&C :) | |
| *** hunter-seeker is now known as Seeker_952 | |
| <Seeker_952> I could use my name but wheres the fun in that | |
| <Vhata> where's the fun in being one of a million Seeker_XXXs ? | |
| <linuxboy> million ? | |
| <Vhata> 13:08 [freenode] -!- There is no such nick tiberium | |
| <Vhata> linuxboy: I rounded up | |
| <Vhata> I just think that one's identifier should, well, identify you ;-) | |
| <Vhata> like 'linuxboy'. It identifies him as an enormous nerd. | |
| <Seeker_952> hmm well thats something to think about | |
| <Vhata> http://www.google.com/search?q=vhata ;-) | |
| <Seeker_952> wow you own the page :P | |
| *** morgs is now known as Seeker_953 | |
| <Seeker_952> funny haha | |
| *** linuxboy is now known as Seeker_954 | |
| *** Vhata is now known as Seeker_955 | |
| <Seeker_954> ok | |
| <Seeker_954> number 2, say "Hello" | |
| <Seeker_954> followed by number 3 etc etc | |
| <Seeker_952> Hello | |
| <Seeker_953> Hello | |
| <Seeker_954> Hello | |
| <Seeker_955> Hello | |
| *** Seeker_955 is now known as Vhata | |

| <SubOracle> thanks | |
| *** SubOracle is now known as suboracle | |
| <linuxboy> edubuntugirl: nickometer suboracle | |

| <SubOracle> Good thing I changed | |
| <Vhata> ;-) | |
| <klimraamkosie> What you guys think about Ubuntu Ultimate? | |
| * Vhata googles for it and reads about it | |
| <Vhata> klimraamkosie: what's the point? | |
| <klimraamkosie> :) | |
| <Vhata> I've got all that stuff anyway | |
| <klimraamkosie> http://ubuntusoftware.info/ultimate/index.html | |
| <Vhata> yeah I read | |
| <Vhata> I'm sure it's cool for ... I dunno | |
| <Vhata> a beginner | |
| <Vhata> but it's trivial to get all that stuff installed anyway | |
| <Vhata> and you're guaranteed of a smooth upgrade path to the next version of ubuntu | |
| <klimraamkosie> agreed | |
| <Vhata> instead of relying on this guy, whoever he is, for possibly broken packages and repositories | |
| <klimraamkosie> downloading costs money. | |
| <klimraamkosie> stupid beryl, i love pre-production | |
| <Vhata> don't you still have to download? | |
| <klimraamkosie> once yes | |
| <klimraamkosie> how do I get the address (cups) of a network printer | |
| <Vhata> smbclient -L ? | |
| <klimraamkosie> doesn't seem to be an L argument | |
| <klimraamkosie> i see | |
| <klimraamkosie> sorry | |
| <Vhata> if you want to browse the entire network, start off with: smbclient -L localhost | |
| <Vhata> add -N if you don't want it to prompt you for a password | |
| <Vhata> look at the bottom | |
| <klimraamkosie> Ok I got the sharename | |
| <Vhata> where it says "workgroup - master" | |
| <klimraamkosie> How do I compose that into a URI? | |
| <klimraamkosie> k | |
| <Vhata> ask each of the masters for their list of machines: smbclient -L mastername | |
| <Vhata> and for any other workgroups that they know about | |
| <Vhata> and go on in that way | |
| <Vhata> smb://machinename/printername | |
| <klimraamkosie> thanks :) | |
| <Vhata> or //machinename/printername | |
| * morgs dreams of Ubuntu Eleet - comes with *every* package preinstalled. No downloading. Evar. | |
| <Vhata> EVAR | |

| <craigaa> ..."be done again"... | |
| <craigaa> ok | |
| <morgs> I tried to ping newz2000 - Matthew Nuzum - on IRC but no response yet, probably in a US timezone. | |

| <craigaa> Peter Cattuthers (sp?) has been writing about Ubuntu http://www.petesweekly.com/article_se_249_3.htm | |
| <craigaa> Carruthers | |
| <Vhata> nobody is *really* called Carruthers | |
| <Vhata> come on | |
| <Vhata> be serious. | |
| <Vhata> "holding their own amongst the Indians (people in India, not Durban) and the Chinese" | |
| <Vhata> awesome | |
| <Vhata> "As they say, give a man a fish and he eats today, but teach him how to phish, and you feed him forever. | |
| <Vhata> rotfl | |
| <klimraamkosie> hahahaha | |
| <craigaa> lol | |
| <craigaa> cheers all, got to go | |
| <Vhata> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeradius/+bug/66568 | |
| <Vhata> that fix isn't in the repos yet | |
| <Vhata> any reason why? | |
| <Vhata> $ aptitude show freeradius | grep Version | |
| <Vhata> Version: 1.1.3-1 | |
| <Vhata> but they say it's fixed in 1.1.3-3 | |
| <morgs> Vhata: feisty? | |
| <Vhata> edgy | |
| <Vhata> is that bug not worth pushing an update? | |
| <Vhata> it stops the package installing altogether | |
| <morgs> It's in Universe. That requires an SRU (stable release update) | |
| <morgs> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | |
| <morgs> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU <--- Universe policy | |
| <Vhata> I see | |
| <Vhata> thanks morgs :) | |
| <morgs> From what you say, this package would qualify -- Edgy's supposed to be supported for 18 months | |
| <Vhata> Stable release updates will, in general, only be issued in order to fix high-impact bugs. Examples of such bugs include: | |
| <Vhata> * | |
| <Vhata> Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a security vulnerability | |
| <Vhata> * | |
| <Vhata> Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu | |
| <Vhata> * | |
| <Vhata> Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a loss of user data | |
| <Vhata> eek | |
| <Vhata> bad paste | |
| <Vhata> but this bug doesn't cause any of those | |
| <morgs> If dapper had a working package it would be a regression... | |
| <Vhata> dapper didn't symlink /bin/sh to dash | |
| <Vhata> which is what is causing the problem | |
| <Vhata> freeradius uses 'source', which is a bash builtin | |
| <Vhata> it should use '.', which is posix | |
| <morgs> Ouch. This dash issue has bitten quite a lot of packages. | |
| <klimraamkosie> How do I make a link on my desktop to a directory on a windows drive? | |
| <morgs> klimraamkosie: is it mounted? | |
| <morgs> cd Desktop; ln -s /media/YOUR_MOUNT_POINT YOUR_LINK_NAME | |
| <linuxboy> ohi | |
| <Vhata> ohi | |
| <linuxboy> Vhata: you played with radius ? | |
| <Vhata> ja | |
| <linuxboy> sysadmin. | |
| <Vhata> shadda | |
| <Vhata> p | |
| <Vhata> I'm okay being a sysadmin | |
| <Vhata> I'm an everything :P | |
| <Vhata> it's zsh again | |
| <zsh> Vhata: yep, how r u doing? | |
| <Vhata> good |
