[20:16] <Pbants> Hey everyone.  Have a quick VPN question if anyone is around
[20:19] <pleia2> !ask
[20:19] <pleia2> :)
[20:19] <pleia2> (not sure I can help, there are lots of types of vpns, but won't know until I see the question!)
[20:25] <Pbants> haha okay
[20:26] <dv_> hi
[20:26] <Pbants> I'm using the built in VPN function in xubuntu 15.10.  I had the same exact VPN working on 14.x now it won't connect.  Verified configuration multiple times, i know my creds are good.  I have been checking the syslog and i can see the creds being sent etc but then i see this error at the end "Dec 30 13:23:10 bantap-xubuntu NetworkManager[815]: ** (nm-pptp-service:2273): WARNING **: pppd exited with error code 5"
[20:27] <dv_> anybody else here with an nvidia graphics card who sees some checkerboard patterns when moving windows and during video playback?
[20:27] <dv_> the only solution I've found is here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137886  but this changes the compositor
[20:32] <Pbants> follow up to my VPN issue, I have tried https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194042
[21:41] <ricksebak> I have my audio going through HDMI (successfully), but when I adjust the volume, the adjustment goes to the analog sound device instead of the HDMI device. Anybody know how to fix that? Here's a screenshot describing it: http://imgur.com/DsB3fj3
[21:49] <ricksebak> nevermind, found it under volume control, output, and set my HDMI to fallback device, which doesnt sound right but it works.

[16:42] <mneptok> aren't those all KDE ninjas? ubottu idles in vanilla -devel ...
[16:42] <IdleOne> the ninjas factoid didn't exist before
[16:43] <IdleOne> vaniklla ninjas are welcome to make an edit request
[16:43] <IdleOne> -k
[16:43] <IdleOne> I prefer maple walnut ninjas
[16:44] <mneptok> as long as the maple isn't dug out of a hole in New Brunswick.
[16:44] <IdleOne> There's a hole in NB??
[16:44] <mneptok> that's where most of the stolen reserve syrup was found (not sure it was a "hole" though)
[16:44] <IdleOne> heh

[16:46] <IdleOne> err wwait
[16:46] <IdleOne> no trees == no maple.
[16:46] <IdleOne> Give back the trees please
 is this the end of all linux distros except redhat
[17:43] <Unit193> He had seen http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIyOTg or something like it.
[17:43] <bazhang> perhaps
[17:44] <bazhang> then he was going on and on about how walmart forces small businesses to close
 bazhang...but i don't really have much to say about ubuntu except that some critical packages no longer work and seem to have been broken by endless updates
[18:09] <bazhang> I seem to have mislaid the duration code for bans etc. do @comment ban number without duration just not expire automatically
[18:11] <IdleOne> correct
[18:11] <bazhang> thanks IdleOne
[18:11] <bazhang> bot was asking me for a comment on georgeph's ban
[18:12] <IdleOne> you can set a comment without a duration and the ban won't be removed auto
[18:12] <bazhang> thats what my convoluted question was trying to ascertain
[18:13] <IdleOne> if you later change your mind and want to add a time do @duration banID, X days/hours...
[18:13] <bazhang> dont see that happening in this case, thanks for the info though
[18:14] <IdleOne> sure thing
[18:14] <IdleOne> ubottu: will still notice you in a few days about the ban.
[18:14] <IdleOne> sorry bot
[18:14] <bazhang> heh
[19:15] <bazhang> like herding cats
[21:12] <Pici> I gotta jet.  gustav__ might need some more watching, hopefully he moves his paranoia to ##security though.
[22:28] <IdleOne> didn't there used to be a fixsudo or sudoers factoid?


[16:24] <PaulW2U> tsimonq2: re your comment simonq2guiverc_t: For this week I don't care if it's a light one, we need to get back to being the Ubuntu WEEKLY Newsletter ;)02:25
[16:24] <PaulW2U> why the change in thinking?
[16:25] <PaulW2U> UWN has always been a weekly newsletter
[16:26] <tsimonq2> PaulW2U: Because we've done so many two week issues lately that it would be inaccurate to call it the Ubuntu WEEKLY Newsletter if we don't get back on track.
[16:27] <PaulW2U> So you or someone else needs to be around on Sunday evening to copy to wiki, write outstanding summaries and send email to editors?
[16:28] <PaulW2U> is that happening every week?
[16:29] <tsimonq2> Not the editors part of it, because I don't think to and we don't frequently get editors any more...
[16:29] <tsimonq2> But in general it's just publishing every week
[16:30] <PaulW2U> Summary writers and editors need to be kept informed of any issues that you are having
[16:32] <PaulW2U> You need to be proactive in recruiting new contributors
[16:32] <PaulW2U> UWN can't survive with just you and guiverc_t contributing each week
[16:34] <PaulW2U> I'm only saying this as I care about UWN even though I no longer contribute
[16:35] <tsimonq2> I don't mean to be rude, but you're stating the obvious. :)  I have been trying to recruit people, there's another summary writer besides guiverc_t but we need more editors and more summary writers, I agree.
[16:36] <tsimonq2> But this has been on my mind.
[16:36] <PaulW2U> How many summaries do you write on Sunday when it's time to send the editor's email?
[16:37] <tsimonq2> Maybe one or two nowadays.
[16:37] <PaulW2U> Bullet pointing so many sections of UWN is an admission of a lack of contributions
[16:38] <PaulW2U> *Every* section apart from just one or two should have summaries written
[16:39] <tsimonq2> Probably, but we've just started bullet pointing because we don't get summaries for Blogosphere. Again, I don't intend to be rude, but you're stating the obvious. This has been and is on my mind.
[16:40] <PaulW2U> Bullet pointing is an admission of defeat
[16:40] <tsimonq2> I disagree.
[16:40] <PaulW2U> I'm sure that we are thinking along the same lines but UWN is not now what it was
[16:41] <tsimonq2> I agree.
[16:41] <PaulW2U> Anyway, my reasons for writing here what I have will become clear in the coming days.
[16:41] <tsimonq2> Alright...
[16:41] <PaulW2U> ;)
[23:41] <guiverc_t> i have no issue with lists, and many of the recent lists i made.


[16:26] <rudra> xnox: Hi, I was building an Ubuntu ISO and when booting it, I got an error saying that "grub_unixdate2datetime was not found". I'm building the ISO with grub-mkrescue and am using the boot/grub folder from the existing Ubuntu ISO with no changes to the kernel.
