| 07:45.34 | AndyMillar | ChoHag: it works for the rest of us |
| 07:50.11 | ChoHag | Yes that's frequently the flavour of the response. |

| 12:15.56 | dick_turpin | I think it's safe to say the Olympics are finally over? |
| 12:16.27 | yaMatt | and now the trains are back to normal :S |
| 12:17.06 | yaMatt | http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/26646/302986.aspx make you think of anyone? |
| 12:17.24 | dick_turpin | Looking |
| 12:18.26 | dick_turpin | Bwahahahaha "I don't have the weird mental illness that tells Linux users to never follow the official directions for a product " |
| 12:19.04 | yaMatt | heheh, yeah |
| 12:19.32 | yaMatt | or actually, it's more likely "I do have that weird mental illness where I automatically install stuff I download from the internet rather than use a package manager" |
| 12:19.49 | dick_turpin | Ahahahaha "made by mature developers and not aspie 13-year-olds." |
| 12:20.52 | dick_turpin | Ahahaha "Oh and by the way? When it says "run apt-get update" it really means "run sudo apt-get update" because GOD FORBID YOU LEAVE OFF THE MAGIC WORD fuck you fuck you fuck this fuck everything" |
| 12:20.58 | dick_turpin | I love this guy |
| 12:21.01 | yaMatt | yeah, the 'aspie' bit is a little bit offensive, but I appreciate the sentiment that apt is a little bit shit |
| 12:22.55 | yaMatt | I installed mongodb on Ubuntu 12.04 recently and I seem to remember it was as simple as apt-get install mongodb |
| 12:23.22 | dick_turpin | Meh people are sometimes too sensitive like that Cannon-bollocks sometimes you gotta just let it all come out. :-D |
| 12:23.37 | yaMatt | and the reason people tend not to put 'sudo' on the front of commands is 1. because it gets a bit repetative, 2. not everyone uses sudo, and 3. it stops morons trying to do stuff they shouldn't |
| 12:24.09 | yaMatt | or don't understand |
| 12:25.46 | dick_turpin | I fooking hate sudo, sudo is for girls! Real me use su - |
| 12:25.56 | dick_turpin | s/me/men |
| 12:26.19 | yaMatt | real men like their root commands logged :) |
| 12:26.27 | yaMatt | and their root passwords secret |
| 12:29.15 | dick_turpin | Given knob head normal users admin rites is abhorrent to me! I have written to Linus and I expect the finger any day now. |
| 12:29.29 | dick_turpin | s/Given/Giving |
| 12:29.33 | dick_turpin | bugger |
| 13:15.45 | ChoHag | Is there a sensible way (I have a build environment based around pbuilder & reprepro set up) to build kernel modules which will be used on a wide number of servers (which don't have a compiler)? |
| 13:15.55 | ChoHag | eg. open-vm-source |
| 13:16.14 | ChoHag | I'm not surprised there's nothing to be found in Google. |
| 13:16.35 | ChoHag | I mean who would want to install the same kernel module package on multiple machines? |
| 13:22.19 | yaMatt | I assume it's the same way you compile it for different architectures, but sounds like a lot of getting familiar with gcc |

| 15:29.38 | yaMatt | dick_turpin, depends on the price |
| 15:30.59 | yaMatt | it looks ok, but if it's £100 for an extra £60 you can get a Nexus and it probably won't piss you off in 6 months time |
| 15:33.06 | yaMatt | oh wait |
| 15:40.47 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: Wrong channel you moose. |
| 15:41.12 | yaMatt | corrected |
| 16:06.14 | dick_turpin | Correcting you is starting to become repetitive. :-P |

| 23:57.54 | lighterapp | i have an old Pentium II laptop which has 192MB RAM (maximum supported by the mainboard) and i will share it with my girlfriend whom i gave sudo privilege to shutdown down the laptop. icewm is installed on the laptop and i want to make it possible for her to shut it down without using the command line but how can it be done on gnu/linux? |
| 23:58.08 | lighterapp | about 5 years ago i met a guy who was running FREEBSD and had a network of 5 PCs all running icewm and he had a a shutdown button entry in the icewm menu. all users could shutdown the PC they were using *without* messing with the command line, just by pressing that button. how can that be done on gnu/linux? |
