12:57.41goldfishthis is a blatant ad but it may help someone out.  I am looking for a linux engineer for a position at a well know web services company in central london where I work. the person should have a good working knowledge of mysql, apache, perl , bash and anything else that a linux engineer is needed to do.  if this position sounds interesting and you want to know more please pm me and i will give more details rather than chat about it in the channel
12:58.19goldfishalso does GLLUG have a jobs page or a jobs mailing list ?
12:58.39antiphase"Engineer"
12:58.40wethrinYou can post job ads to the main mailing list, as long as they clearly state in the subject line they're a job advert
12:58.48goldfishcool
12:58.55goldfishwill do
12:58.59wethrinAlso an idea of salary and location would be good, otherwise people will complain
12:59.18goldfishyeah - i have a job spec for it that i will use

16:21.33*** join/#gllug Provito (n=Provito@pdpc/supporter/sustaining/Provito)
16:22.25dick_turpingoibhniu: You're gonna love this, the official openSUSE one is duff. You have to download from Vbox
16:23.01dick_turpingoibhniu: Make sure you have gcc installed then run setup as root (after the installation!)
16:23.33dick_turpingoibhniu: So basically install it then recompile it it! Mad or what?
16:25.15goibhniuwha!?
16:25.23goibhniumental
16:25.42goibhniuthe latest suse sounds dodgy as hell
16:25.55Ch0Hags/the latest//
16:26.39dick_turpingoibhniu: Na, is because the kernel headers are in a different location to most other distro's
16:27.17dick_turpingoibhniu: Also breaking news Archlinux now has a UK mirror Kent Uni
16:27.17goibhniubut the install is supposed to be dodgy too, innit?
16:27.33goibhniuhave you reviewed it yet.. suse?
16:28.08dick_turpingoibhniu: Na the bloke on LAS is a muppet I posted on their forum
16:28.37dick_turpingoibhniu: may do
16:28.53goibhniuaha ... that is indeed where I heard it
16:29.47goibhniubut apart from popping in the disk and rebooting .. how could he get it wrong?
16:30.39dick_turpingoibhniu: I think he was talking about a 'Normal' user account being set before re-boot
16:30.56dick_turpingoibhniu: SUSE has always done that after re-boot
16:30.58goibhniuah yeah
16:31.12goibhniuaha!
16:31.30goibhniuso he was just expecting it to be different
16:31.37goibhniufairynuff
16:31.48goibhniufnuff
16:32.00dick_turpingoibhniu: I'm 99% sure Debian ect creates that prior to re-boot so that might be where he went wrong
16:32.25goibhniuyep ... so suse does some extra config on the first boot?
16:32.54dick_turpingoibhniu: Pretty much everything on first boot
16:34.02goibhniuinteresting ... so just vbox is broke then :)
16:34.18dick_turpingoibhniu: pre-install is setup such as firewall, packages and setting repo's
16:35.13dick_turpingoibhniu: We have to keep in mind I'm running the 64bit version so I'm bound to be a bit out on a limb
16:35.48goibhniuhmm ... 64bit should not suck
16:36.14dick_turpingoibhniu: I cant get flash to work for the minute
16:36.15goibhniuexcept for the proprietary stuff of course
16:36.20goibhniuah
16:36.37dick_turpingoibhniu: But I will say is very very fast
16:36.40goibhniunpwrapper works nice for me
16:37.21dick_turpingoibhniu: I'll even go as far as say boot time is comparable to ArchLinux
16:37.32goibhniu!!!
16:37.34goibhniunever
16:37.59dick_turpingoibhniu: Yep I'll have to time it but its pretty snappy
16:38.45dick_turpingoibhniu: I judge boot time from switch on to login prompt (GUI)
16:39.29dick_turpingoibhniu: You cant count GUI desktop as everyone has different crap to load on their desktops
16:41.56dick_turpingoibhniu: Rotflmao, you have to stick your fingers in your ears and sing "I'm not listening"
16:44.16dick_turpingoibhniu: I'm halfway through the latest Linux Outlaws podcast, I like the way they copy LR with opening out-take chat

17:04.52boudiccas"I'll have a glass of blood too please," said the second.
17:04.52boudiccas"I'll have a glass of plasma," said the third.
17:04.52boudiccas"OK, let me get this straight," said the bartender, "That'll be two

17:12.29boudiccasEvery day, a male co-worker walks up very close to a lady standing

17:12.37boudiccas<PROTECTED>
17:12.39boudiccasThe Human Resources supervisor is puzzled by this decision and asks,
