12:15.56dick_turpinI think it's safe to say the Olympics are finally over?
12:16.27yaMattand now the trains are back to normal :S
12:17.06yaMatthttp://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/26646/302986.aspx make you think of anyone?
12:17.24dick_turpinLooking
12:18.26dick_turpinBwahahahaha "I don't have the weird mental illness that tells Linux users to never follow the official directions for a product "
12:19.04yaMattheheh, yeah
12:19.32yaMattor 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"
12:19.49dick_turpinAhahahaha "made by mature developers and not aspie 13-year-olds."
12:20.52dick_turpinAhahaha "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"
12:20.58dick_turpinI love this guy
12:21.01yaMattyeah, the 'aspie' bit is a little bit offensive, but I appreciate the sentiment that apt is a little bit shit
12:22.55yaMattI installed mongodb on Ubuntu 12.04 recently and I seem to remember it was as simple as apt-get install mongodb
12:23.22dick_turpinMeh people are sometimes too sensitive like that Cannon-bollocks sometimes you gotta just let it all come out. :-D
12:23.37yaMattand 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
12:24.09yaMattor don't understand
12:25.46dick_turpinI fooking hate sudo, sudo is for girls! Real me use su -
12:25.56dick_turpins/me/men
12:26.19yaMattreal men like their root commands logged :)
12:26.27yaMattand their root passwords secret
12:29.15dick_turpinGiven knob head normal users admin rites is abhorrent to me! I have written to Linus and I expect the finger any day now.

13:15.45ChoHagIs 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)?
13:15.55ChoHageg. open-vm-source
13:16.14ChoHagI'm not surprised there's nothing to be found in Google.
13:16.35ChoHagI mean who would want to install the same kernel module package on multiple machines?
13:22.19yaMattI assume it's the same way you compile it for different architectures, but sounds like a lot of getting familiar with gcc

15:29.38yaMattdick_turpin, depends on the price
15:30.59yaMattit 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
15:33.06yaMattoh wait
15:40.47dick_turpinyaMatt: Wrong channel you moose.
15:41.12yaMattcorrected
16:06.14dick_turpinCorrecting you is starting to become repetitive. :-P

23:57.54lighterappi 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?
23:58.08lighterappabout 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?
