You mean synaptic or aptitude?

mistrfu

@OliveTwist oops I mean synaptic

Aptitude too, I don't know why I stopped using it ages ago. Some dependency issues I guess.

@mistrfu multiarch bug

Olive Twist

15:03

So, +1 for aptitude also

mistrfu

@jokerdino Perhaps? I know it has caused mea lot of headache at point in timesapce and have never used it since. I guess until today if you say synaptic is just GUI for aptitude.

jokerdino

yeah

Jorge Castro

Mahesh

Olive Twist

You can't use HIBERNATE in WUBI (straight answer)

Olive Twist

AbrahamVanHelpsing

AbrahamVanHelpsing

Olive Twist

Use a real ubuntu

16:39

@WilliamHilsum :( let me know when you reach the dark depths of Norfolk.

Olive Twist

@AmithKK will do. i'm in 12.04 now. wait

rakesh

hmm tx guys

Olive Twist

@rakesh don't worry. The real ubuntu is better

wubi is a temporary solution

rakesh

Olive Twist

AbrahamVanHelpsing

16:42

@OliveTwist virtualbox is for partition fearing people. wubi is for people that want to have problems...

rakesh

Olive Twist

@AbrahamVanHelpsing Lol.

Q: How to convert Wubi install into regular install?

I have installed Ubuntu on my D: partition using Wubi. Is there any way in which I can remove my Windows from C: drive and move my existing Ubuntu installation to C: drive and make it a regular install.

@Mahesh you don't really need shell expansion do you? shell=True ?

Mahesh

@AbrahamVanHelpsing No. we dont need shell expansion. Got any better way of handling spaces?

Amith KK

@AbrahamVanHelpsing That is the best way we have without having to split the arguments

we can't exploited can we?

Mahesh

break at spaces and send a list is the other option.

good night everyone

AbrahamVanHelpsing

@AmithKK i'm waiting for him to actually jump

and he jumped

jrg

whoa

AbrahamVanHelpsing

18:12

highest jump and he wimped out on the chute pull

:/

jrg

he just needed what, another 20 seconds to break the record?

he didn't break the speed record did he?

AbrahamVanHelpsing

yeah...needs verification...and his ground crew could have told him when to pull. he popped chute early b/c he couldn't see his altimiter

Amith KK

Woah

jrg

well, he's back on earth. for now.

Amith KK

That was a nice jump

he didn't break the record

but that was amazing

jrg

18:20

broke the record for highest jump

not longest freefall though

AbrahamVanHelpsing

think he'll get 2 of 3

jrg

he got 1 of 1 - he was supposedly only aiming for the highest, the other two were going to be a bonus.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

believes that? maybe

Mahesh

that. was. amazing

never knew my network could provide such beautiful streaming.

AbrahamVanHelpsing

amazing? he fell... the people that built his suit are the ones that should be on youtube
