5:00 AM

@msPeachy bet you didn't know that my country exists XD

@blackedx lol, it's not that, I'm sure I've heard of it before

@msPeachy just kidding

which distro do you use?

@RolandTaylor so you have stopped gaming?

@blackedx, right now, Oneiric

@msPeachy why not 12.04?

@msPeachy yep :D

Having minor "withdrawal symptoms" but I'm sticking to my guns lol

5:03 AM

don't you feel it slower each time?

@RolandTaylor lol, what symptoms?

@blackedx cos I've had problems with Precise

Had tried it but each time I ended up with a grub, hd, freeze issues, so I had to downgrade to Oneiric. Am waiting for Quantal

@msPeachy the urge to play something

sometimes memories of games I like lol

Right now I'm using Lucid XD

I don't feel the urgency to update to a newer version. Because I feel ubuntu slower and slower each time..

@RolandTaylor you can do it gradually though

@msPeachy I don't want to see another one

5:08 AM

see another game?

yeah

@blackedx well, Precise was fast, but after a few weeks of use, I'd encounter issues, so had to give it up

@RolandTaylor you meant play?

@msPeachy I don't even want to remember they exist

@RolandTaylor are you really serious about that?

@msPeachy for now lol

5:12 AM

Clever spam:

-2

A: How do I create a launcher for the Xampp control panel?

Its works but had to install sudo apt-get install python-glade2 on ubuntu 12.04 thanks for gr8 support

when I've had time to cool off, then I'll consider gaming again

@RolandTaylor lol

and probably the only online game I'll play is Battleswarm - so I can meet up with some old friends

but that's only if Battleswarm returns

You should just limit your game time to at least an hour a day

@msPeachy I didn't even game every day lol

5:13 AM

never heard that before

lol

so it wouldn't be that hard to gave up

askubuntu.com/posts/175572/revisions

@msPeachy well it is because I used gaming to de-stress

I don't do drugs, don't drink, don't smoke, don't party, don't have friends to hang with... you get the point ;)

lol

XD

where are your friends?

They exist?

Lol!

5:17 AM

@RolandTaylor what's up with that link?

Apart from people at church, I don't have friends outside of the internet.

Which is pointless.

@msPeachy it is the spam @EliahKagan linked to. I edited it to remove the link.

(But first, I put in something funny :)

Of course they do.

This is the norm in our world: don't do drugs, don't drink, don't smoke, don't party, don't have friends to hang with...

lol

I would hang with msPeachy but it's a bit hard to drive across the ocean :D

I have colleagues as my friends, that's about it. I don't do much besides work and editing AU posts. lol

5:18 AM

jk

@msPeachy lol fun fun fun

you would hang with me???

lol why not :P?

i thought it should be hang out?

lol oh yeah

this is like a G+ hangout.... ??

5:20 AM

XD

hang "with" can be taken the wrong way :D

no, I would not hang from ropes with anyone :D

@ShyamK Who knows? :D

I meant you'd probably break the rope if we hang together

haha

that's true

@ShyamK I don't know, I'm not on G+ yet

@RolandTaylor and you're right I wouldn't too, even with you

5:22 AM

G+ hangouts are mighty fun.... unless you make a public hangout

@msPeachy rofl

anyone who wants to hang from ropes like that must be part of a death cult

and I would never join any cult

same here

XD

so let's just hand out, not hang

haha yeah

5:25 AM

cult of the geeks?

what will we hand out though?

@blackedx lol not even that

XD

(I am a former "member" of the cult of Jorge Castro)

3

WTH? is jorge castro?

he's in this room :D

(probably sleeping DO NOT PING)

5:27 AM

@RolandTaylor lol, i meant hang out

too late, can't edit it

@msPeachy XD

@msPeachy lolol yes let's hang out :D

but of course we can hand out too

lol what shall we hand out? :D

copies of your novel?

5:30 AM

:O

or Ubuntu CDs?

lol

when it's finished

Ubuntu CDs sounds good to me :D

Ubuntu tricks...

@blackedx that too

there needs to be a catch though >:P

me plots and schemes

5:31 AM

I'm trying to understand deeper, yeah so it's deep

fun stuff :D

powercut!!!! gaaah!!! bbl

5:38 AM

O_o

It's uploaded in my cloud but I don't have time to read when I'm at school.

cool

ugh...... "InstallStepError: HwDetect failed with code 135" why ubiquity?! why?!?

focus on school - there's always plenty of time after for a scary novel ;)

^^"why is a rhetorical question here, I'm pretty sure I know why

5:39 AM

@adempewolff because.

yup

(Just proves I was right before).

(:>)

It's actually open right now, but I can't focus on reading it since I'm here...lol

@msPeachy lol I was writing and the same thing happened

well this has just made my life a huge pain

5:41 AM

at least I was able to shut this out for a little Bible reading earlier :D

@adempewolff panadol.

Aspirin is dangerous for some people so panadol might be the safest bet.

I'm more of an ibuprofen guy, but I can swing both ways

I think Asprin is just dangerous for under 20s

(You're beginning to hate me I can tell xD)

(jk)

well

what to do now

@RolandTaylor we have to leave each other alone then, for me to finish reading and for you to start writing

@msPeachy O_O

no

5:43 AM

manually build up a pro audio distro from Debian or Xubuntu....

@adempewolff Ubuntu Studio :)

what's Ubuntu Studio btw?

@RolandTaylor Ubuntu Studio isn't focused on pro audio anymore

It's an Ubuntu variant for artists, music etc

@RolandTaylor ¯_(ツ)_/¯

5:44 AM

In fact, it's hardly maintained anymore

oh not for me then, I'm no artist

@adempewolff well true

@msPeachy lol

⤀_⤀

whoah that's cheating, I can't type that

yes you can :D

_

5:46 AM

ctrl+shit+u - then enter 2900 and press enter

⤀_⤀

just copied and pasted, much faster

lol

ᦙ_ᦙ

ᦙ_ᦙ

5:48 AM

笑脸

⌀_⌀

@msPeachy LOL

looks like wings?

try ctrl-shift-u-ing that!

@adempewolff what's that?

Chinese

5:49 AM

it doesn't help that I was watching a documentary with pigs before

it says "smiley face"

⊙_⊙ hi all - I need my drugs ⊘_⊘

@adempewolff I see, you're chinese

@msPeachy nope :P

笑脸

5:50 AM

I just live in China

@RolandTaylor lol

@msPeachy ᤁᤂᤃᤄ?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lol

ᜀᜁថ

I ¯_(ツ)_/¯ again

5:52 AM

ahahaa!!! I am victorious!

@adempewolff what's your nationality?

@msPeachy American

:)

evil snicker

and I think I just got this 10.04 derivative working

nooooooooo

This means you will disregard our advice!

5:54 AM

which I think is a teachable moment: when confronted with serious sounding errors during installation that lead to cascading crashes and a kernel panic

don't panic

I usually just panic.

just reboot, update-grub from another partition and boot into the monster you have just created!

O_o

what if it doesn't exactly go like that

then panic

lol

5:57 AM

Back :)

I have been getting installation errors with Xubuntu 12.04 on some old hardware

normally I get problems after installation

@RolandTaylor like?

not during

@nitstorm like "The installation encountered errors and could not continue, you will not be dropped to a live session" or something like that

no detail is given

I had the terminal open on the installer to show output but saw no errors

@nitstorm welcome back btw

Q: How to handle posts I've already seen and flagged, in new review beta?

In the new review beta (for example, for low quality posts), what should I do about a post I've already seen and flagged for deletion? Should I click "Not Sure" to skip over it? That seems wrong, since I am sure. Flagging it again seems wrong; another flag from the same user is not going to hel...

@RolandTaylor ah thanks...

5:59 AM

I should get food too,

@RolandTaylor What about an Alternate disc install?

but I am feeling lazy
