01:22.26z00daxiirc, its just a very badly done ripoff of ms-access '97
01:22.45DiscordianIt's packaged at least for Fedora
01:23.00DiscordianYeah it's not a professional tool, I use tora
01:24.07z00daxtora is good, squirrelsql isnt bad either
01:24.18z00daxas long as you have jdbc drivers for the backend
01:24.24DiscordianNot seen squirrelsql
01:24.29DiscordianAhhh right
01:25.02DiscordianYou don't need jdbc drivers for tora for Oracle, MySQL and PostGres
01:27.48DiscordianI fear greatly I'm gonna need some windows app to do OLAP cubes though
01:29.10z00daxmondrian stuff perhaps ?

12:37.53AndyMillarheh
12:38.38halitime to have a play with my long lost under-the-tv ubuntu mythtv box
12:38.48haliit's rather broken atm, ubuntu style
12:39.26Nafallobaah
12:39.33Nafallomythbuntu?
12:39.56halinormal ubuntu with mythtv
12:40.07haliit's a ubuntu 5.something upgraded to 7.10
12:40.15halicould do with a reinstall
12:40.19Nafallowhy?
12:40.24haliit's acting weirdly
12:40.45halii can't get the xen kernel to work properly
12:40.47halifor one
12:40.56haliwhich works fine on my laptop runing a clean 7.10
12:41.14haliand "desktop effects" doesn't work
12:41.27Nafallomight be more because of the box then the OS?
12:41.39halii think it just doesn't like any 3rd party kernel modules
12:41.57Nafallothat should not be a problem actually.
12:42.21haliand the fact i've installed a gazillon things on it doesn't help
12:42.30halioracle, vmware etc
12:43.24haliand now i tried to run busybox as avm
12:43.26halivm*
12:43.29haliwm*
12:43.41haliment to use *fluxbox*
12:44.26Nafalloreminds himself to visit hali at some point so he can steal the rum :-)
12:45.54haliwe should have a 8.04 installfest with rum :-)
12:47.00Nafallopizza, bbiab
12:49.10AndyMillarheh
12:49.46Nafallo:-)
12:58.28antiphaseUbuntu upgrades between versions fine if you follow the instructions ;)
13:03.01halii've always followed the instructions, i think it's my 3rd party addons that broke it
