@Mochan - I never thought about how that name is pronounced - because I know just how awkward it is. But I did it! [ˈfaɪxɪŋeə] it is.

5:23 AM

faixinger

@FEichinger ?!

@Mochan :O

heartless!

cruel!

Me gusta.

Me pusta.

5:24 AM

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan +11111111

@Mochan My name. How to pronounce it. Damn hard to explain, ya know.

FAY CHING ER.

=)

Yay!

Especially when I don't even know how I would pronounce it to begin with ...

no shouting sir.

5:25 AM

Shout the first part of Fei?

It is in caps afterall.

@jokerdino Sorrie :P

Now I think I'm getting myself some sleep ... 6:30am and I had to use my brains at this hour. Bad move, @Mochan, bad move. :P

@FEichinger e . e

@FEichinger lawl

@Mochan ø_ø

@FEichinger Your fault for being on here since like 4:30am -.-

5:29 AM

đ_đ

@Mochan Hush you! You asked complicated stuff!

Go away European characters

@FEichinger ;A;

Welcome to the AskUbuntu Chat room!

Thanks.

@Mochan µ_µ?

-.-

5:31 AM

@Flabricorn I love you man! :')

@Mochan I was hoping for noone to ever ask! The "ch" alone gives it tons of ways to pronounce it ... Half of which English doesn't even support.

And then you come in. Making me think of a proper answer ... At friggin 6 am! Q_Q

Okay. I think I'm done ranting now.

Congratulations!

@Mochan hug

Night all.

This is so beautiful...

@FEichinger hug

Good night

5:35 AM

@FEichinger good night man :'D

I'm so touched!!!

þ_þ

@RolandiXor-TheIceMan I heard cold showers work against that.

ewwwwwwwwwww

dirty mind

go sleep indeed :O

You guys are weak. My female friends are probably fourteen times dirtier than guys my age .___.

Anyway, moving on.

@JourneymanGeek Muuuuummm go make me a sandwich

no ;p

Waaah! Puppy!

hugs

It's so fridgemagneting cute q.q

linux.slashdot.org/story/12/12/26/163222/…

ya, I read that

who still uses 68Ks? ;p

Interesting right?

lol no

I'm too tired to geek out

Well, I still think it's awesome that some people do.

yes XD

5:47 AM

I'm gonna start a comic called the Dirty Adventures of Dirty Dirk

He'll be a superhero/secret agent

I'll read it.

His real name is Dirk Dirty, but no one has a clue he's Dirty Dirk (it's just not fathomable!)

Not really.

@Flabricorn lol...

@Mochan O_o

Blueberry ham.... and flowers of gold.

5:55 AM

Indeed.

Is any vmware guy here ????

Why?

I need to take control of Vmware esxi server on my Ubuntu 12.04.1 desktop

exsi?

ya

6:00 AM

I've never heard of that.

Anyway, is it a normal sofware issue or something especially VM Ware specific?

It's visualization server. There is no client available for Ubuntu.

Well, I don't think I can help you there then.

You should open a question on the site.

ok

:>

6:15 AM

Pretty sure I didn't just download a 49.8GB file. Help?

O_o

Sounds like you might need to do a disk check

Next time, I should call myself a funny Indian name, like Mohit.

6:38 AM

I thought you wree Indian?! Or Singaporean... hm... (I have no idea)

I am a Barbadian :)

Didn't you check my G+ profile ;)?

6:51 AM

OMGSPAM

It's cheap!

@DirtCheapGoldWatchSpam happy achieving 25 % of 100 years - is there a badge for this?

@Takkat unfortunately not, but thanks :D

Q: How to access Vmware Esxi Server from Ubuntu 12.04.1

1

I want to take control of my VMware ESXi 5 Server through Ubuntu 12.04.1 desktop. Unfortunately there is no client available for Ubuntu. How can I do it?

7:01 AM

Maybe @Momochannierandanie will think up something

BTW how did you hide your avatar in the room's view here?

Easy, behind a gold watch.

lol - I know it's brass

Hey, the paint has genuine gold in it...

Oh yeah, sure it has. All really good genuine watches. Wanna sell, my friend?

<-- remembers this guy on the beach some years ago with 100 watches under his coat

7:07 AM

:O

Coool

@Takkat sell? I don't just sell... I bargain.

@Mochan hey don't you be cooling now... you didn't want a watch two hours ago...

@DirtCheapGoldWatchSpam haha...

one of us said haha, and it wasn't me.

Now listen here lady,

When I sell my dirty dirt, you buy it. No questions asked.

LOL

@DirtCheapGoldWatchSpam Roland Taylor! Get back to your room right now, young man!

@speciousfool you should open a question and answer it yourself to get a badge and a hat, as well as some rep if it's a good answer :)

Q: Why are questions no longer titled as questions?

Q: What to do With Question that involved a ubuntu wiki link?

Days ago I saw an answer that involved a ubuntu wiki link, the question was: How to setup a DNS server ? the answer was : you can follow this wonderful guide in our ubuntu wiki : Domain Name Service (DNS) after a few days the answer received a comment : Whilst this may theoretically answ...

12:41 PM

@Roland you're killing me with the @DirtCheapGoldWatchSpam

1:15 PM

@jrg - have you taken a look at canvas-lms? i only ask you b/c it's a ruby project and you're the resident ruby-guy

@AbrahamVanHelpsing nope.

never heard of it.

looks like a rails 2 app, in some state of stasis.

oh...learning management system some of the bigger colleges are using. big enough that they're taking out "we're hiring" ads on SO

looks interesting to say the least...and it's not php, which is a plus for me: instructure.com/compare-higher-education

looks nice.

i need to stop asking and then answering a question in order to answer another question. this is starting to become painful. :P

heh. okay well, i thought it might be something interesting for you. i know i have to dig in to it on some me time

@jrg isn't the preferred way to override dnsmasq with the dnsmasq config files?

i'll look into it. right after i get the 3 thousand and 1 other things on the list done. :P

@AbrahamVanHelpsing i don't know. I was just assuming it worked like other /etc/*.d/$files.

1:24 PM

i know right. and it seems like i read somewhere that it's one of those dynamically generated from parts configs if they exist. a little like grub.

shrug idk. i'll let you know if my .dev config stops working in a week. :P

mwahahahaha. i be awesome. :P

heh. i think i was reading here: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dnsmasq

now to get it hooked up to something like pow.cx. :P

wait, so what you're saying there

is that i could theoretically still have network manager handle dnsmasq?

WHOA.

i was saying that the two can get along with the prepend/append options.

i just tossed those rules into /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d, restarted nm and it worked!

1:28 PM

cool. i'm thinking manipulating the "new way" directly is a better idea than making it behave the old way.

updated my answer to do that. askubuntu.com/a/233224/6005

upgoated that and your other question
