MooDoomorning08:39
ApacheukI just downloaded the natty alpha so I can test it on a spare laptop I have, when I try and burn it to disk its reporting its too large (716.6mb) for burning08:43
diployeah it's to big for a CD08:45
diploI take it that's why there is so much work slimming down other apps08:45
Apacheukok, I think I got a dvd disk round here somewhere08:45
diplousb pen ?08:46
diplojono bacon did a tutorial on his site08:46
Apacheukits way too early for tutorials :)08:47

Apacheukhello09:37
screen-xmorning all :)09:39
screen-xwhat are those revo-like viglen boxes called?09:40
* screen-x finds tonywhitmore's mpc-l blog post :)09:40
bigcalmscreen-x: what do you want to do with one?09:41
bigcalmThey are horribly under powered09:41
screen-xMy boss is after a print + backup server that's cheaper than a revo.09:41
bigcalmI guess it'll do that09:41
bigcalmSlowly09:41
bigcalmI'm just a little bitter as I bought one to be a web dev server. Not long after I bought a Revo09:42
bigcalmThe MPC-L isn't great at number crunching, but should cope with being a print server and do backups slowly09:42
screen-xbigcalm: at the moment he backs up over wifi to a machine with usb connected disks, so speed may not be a big issue.09:44
screen-xwifi however might be..09:44
bigcalmHeh09:44
bigcalmYes, no internal wifi09:44
bigcalmUSB wifi is cheap though09:44
bigcalmPersonally I'd plug it into a router though09:44
bigcalmAlso, ditch the print server, get a network printer :)09:45
kazademorning all09:46
bigcalmHi kazade09:46
Apacheukplaying around with natty this morning, I like the idea of "unity" but I miss my applications menu09:47
MartijnVdSIve disabled unity09:49
kazadeI'm trying to like unity..09:49
kazadeThe more I use/learn about it, the less I like it09:49
bigcalmIt's very irritating on my netbook09:50
kazadeI got rid of indicator-appmenu the moment I installed it..09:51
kazadeI hate global menus :)09:51
Apacheukadding new apps is not intuitive IMHO, I had to got the wiki in order to figure it out09:55
Apacheukmaybe thats just me09:55
MartijnVdSyeah but it's DESIGNED for USABILITY09:55
MartijnVdSso it MUST be good!09:55
MartijnVdS</cynic>09:55
kazadeApacheuk, I haven't figured that out yet!09:55
kazadeMartijnVdS, I'm not totally convinced it is..09:56
kazadeI think it's designed around decisions that Mark is making (e.g. window controls), rather than a clean-slate and usability studies09:56
MartijnVdSsomeone buy Mark a mac please 8-)09:57
kazadeI mean, I notice now that the window controls interfere with dock autohide atm and when the controls move into the panel (on a desktop? wtf?) they will be right next to the Ubuntu button09:57
Apacheukoh no a spider just crawled into my printer10:02
ApacheukI tried to squish it before it made it in, but missed10:02
kazadequick, print something :)10:02

bigcalmCan you do a string replace in mysql?11:25
dutchiewhich should have been fixed11:26
dutchiebigcalm: UPDATE, no?11:26
bigcalmdutchie: That's how to update a record, yes. But not how to replace a substring within a field11:27
dutchiei think you'd have to use substatements or something11:28

czajkowskibalor: did you resort to putting fedora on the latop15:01
balorczajkowski: I'm not off.  Just working from home.15:01
balorczajkowski: The sound issue means you have to turn the left channel up to 90% and the right channel down to 10%15:02
balorczajkowski: I think they're using a stereo mix for noise cancellation15:02

daubersConsidering setting up a corporate jabber server... not sure chich server to run though15:26
MattJJabber \o/15:26
daubersMattJ: Any advice welcome :)15:26
MartijnVdSejabberd seems to be often-used15:26
MattJdaubers: I wrote Prosody, so... :)15:26
MattJI used to use ejabberd, that's the main reason I wrote Prosody :)15:27
daubersI've used ejabberd before and it was a pig15:27
MartijnVdShaha.. "I'm sick of niche language #1, so I'm writing something in niche language #2"15:27
MattJdaubers: I've heard it called worse :)15:27
daubersMattJ: Heh15:28
MattJMartijnVdS: language isn't really an issue, and I don't think many people would argue that Lua is more cryptic than erlang15:28
MattJand "niche" doesn't really affect anything15:28
MartijnVdSMattJ: true, but why not Python or C or some such15:28
MattJLanguage becomes an issue when like ejabberd, you force the config, logging and crash dumps into an inflexible erlang syntax15:29
MattJAs an example, ejabberd has ejabberdctl, and Prosody has prosodyctl - both need running as root if the server is installed system-wide15:30
MattJThis is what happened when I ran ejabberdctl without root: http://matthewwild.co.uk/uploads/ejabberd_error.txt15:30
MattJand this is what happens when you make the same mistake with prosodyctl: http://matthewwild.co.uk/uploads/prosody_error.txt15:30
MattJand Python is too heavy for a lightweight server, Lua is tiny15:31
MattJand C is nice, but development is slow and it's easy to make crasher bugs15:32
MattJLua integrates very nicely with C, which is another plus point - some Prosody routines (like base64 encoding/decoding) are written in C for efficiency15:32

andylockrananyone good on mod_proxy - need to make the proxy server invisible, so that the request comes from the client ip, rather than the proxy server - any ideas?15:48
MattJThat's like asking how to spoof someone's IP :)15:49
MattJProxies can add a header though, X-Forwarded-For15:49
andylockranok, that'll do15:49
MattJI think Apache already does this by default15:49
MattJbut the receiving app has to be aware of it (and parse it securely)15:49
MartijnVdSyeah that was a headache :)15:51
MartijnVdSWe had IP-based access15:51
MartijnVdSthen added reverse proxies (+ x-forwarded-for)15:51
MartijnVdSso then we had to add X-forwarded-for checking, but only do it if the IP was that of a valid proxy15:52
daubersWoot! Corporate jabber up and running :)15:53
MattJMartijnVdS: Did your code handle multiple X-Forwarded-For headers, and a comma separated list if IPs? :)15:53
MattJ*of15:53
MattJdaubers: Yay!15:53
MartijnVdSMattJ: Yes it does. Only takes the last one (added by the last proxy: the one we're talking to)15:53

Ngpopey: what's wrong with silent videos if what you're conveying is visual?17:13
popeybecause often it's nice for someone to explain what's going on17:20
popeyoften it's not clear what they're showing17:20
popeyand silent films are from the past17:20
Ngpopey: suggest to youtube that if they detect a silent film they could offer to inject liberally licensed muzak ;)17:21

MartijnVdSscreen-x: you'll need to do a reinstall17:24

popeyAh, humour. I've heard of that.18:00

_Hpopey: I just asked mother for money18:01
_H:(18:01
_HI'm 22 and acting like a teenager18:01
palnpopey: Couldn't I just put on a Linux-Swap partition to accomodate for my useless amount of RAM during the Installation?18:01
popeypaln: no18:02
popeywell18:02
popeyyes18:02
popeyand no18:02
popeymore no than yes though18:02
palnpopey: ??? Why's that?18:02
popeypaln: it will die swapping18:02
palnAhh...so it's possible, but would just take Eternity?18:03
popeyit would18:04
palnhmph.18:04
popeytried puppy linux?18:04
palnAnyways, I just burnt a copy of GPartEd so I can make my install partition for Xubuntu...18:04
popeyor DSL18:04
popeyI wouldn't bother with xubuntu18:05
popeyit's too hungry18:05
palnWhy not?18:05
palnHungry for what?18:05
popeyRAM18:05
popeyDSL or Puppy, or Crunchbang, maybe Lubuntu18:05
palnYeah, but I downloaded the alternate CD, which only requires 128MB RAM18:05
palnSo, I'm gonna go test GParted...BRB!18:06
hamitronis Lubuntu mature yet?18:06
AlanBellit has been around some time18:07
popeydefine mature18:07
AlanBellask in #lubuntu I guess18:07
popeyit's more mature than unity :)18:07
hamitronby mature, I mean old and getting to a point of perfection18:07
hamitron:)18:07
popeyname something that is?18:08
AlanBellme!18:08
hamitron:D18:08
hamitronUbuntu is up there tbh18:08
popeythat event horizon of perfection is getting further away by the day AlanBell18:08
hamitronbut I was using MS Windows as the scale to judge perfection I'm afraid :(18:09
palnWell, tbh, Ubuntu one of the most famous Linux distros out there...18:09
palnIt would seem Unity would gain popularity through UNE more thatn it would if it was ported to Desktop Edition18:09
palnPersonally, I have Unity installed18:09
palnSo I can choose at login...18:10
palnUnity loads quicker18:10
palnMUCH quicker!18:10
hamitronnever used Unity18:10
palnyou can do: sudo apt-get install unity18:10
palnIt'll atke about 2 mins to download all the dependencies...18:11
palnpopey: Say, how much RAM does GParted-Live need?18:11
popeyno idea18:11
hamitronmore than 64Mb18:12
palnDoesn't matter...it's booted now!18:12
palnhamitron: I've got 128MB18:12
palnThe Ubuntu/WinVista lappy I'm using now has 2GB18:12
hamitronyou are hoping to run Xubuntu?18:12
hamitron:|18:12
palnOh, how I adore the constant improvement to the technological world!18:13
popeyah good, someone else who thinks xubuntu wont run well in 128MB18:13
* popey points paln at hamitron 18:13
popeysee18:13
hamitronit doesn't work well on 256Mb ;/18:13
popeyheh18:13
hamitronI personally use LXDE18:13
* popey points paln at hamitron some more18:14
popeypaln: listen to hamitron, he's frugal with hardware ;)18:14
popey(in a good way)18:14
hamitronI was gonna ask if that was good or bad ;)18:14
palnThanks for that :)18:14
palnAlirght, GParted's done loading XWS18:15
popeyright, stuff this for a lark, I'm going home18:20
hamitrono/18:20
palnGParted is taking forever to recognise my partitions!18:20
palnIt still says "Searching /dev/sda partitions"...argh!!!18:21
palnOh...it's done18:21
palnWhat's the difference between MB and MiB18:22
popey2418:22
popey:)18:22
palnand don't say "Men in Black" either!18:22
palnheh?18:22
popeythere is a wikipedia page which explains it nicely18:22
popey!MiB18:22
popeybah18:22
popeyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix18:23
popeythat one18:23
palnalrighty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiB18:23
popeyright, really going now18:23
palncouldn't be bothered to type it in my browser...18:23
palnpopey: Why?!18:23
palnMebibyte...?18:23
ormiretalso man units is a good explanation18:23
dutchiehttp://xkcd.com/394/18:24
dutchie^^ silly explanation18:24
palnOh, right!18:24
palnbinary bytes are the ones divisible by 818:25
palnand metric are like, MB GB, right?18:26
hamitron!lucid18:26
lubotu3Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/100418:26
dutchiepaln: all bytes are 8 bits on any computer you see nowadays18:33
dutchiethe difference is once you start talking about kilobytes (= 1000 bytes) and kibibytes (= 1024 (2^10) bytes)18:33
BigRedSKB = kilobyte, KiB = Kibibyte18:34
dutchiethen different people mean different things when they write kB or KB or KiB...18:34
palndutchie: I get the 8bits = 1B18:34
dutchieoh, seeing "8" confused me18:35
dutchie"powers of 2" wouldn't have18:35
palnbut is it... 1024 MiB = 1GiB; 1024GiB = 1TiB18:35
dutchieyes18:35
palnand then of course... 1000MB = 1GB; 1000GB = 1TB, right?18:35
dutchieyes18:36
dutchiethough not everyone agrees on this18:36
palnoh yeah...doubling!18:36
AlanBellthat one is a maybe18:36
palndutchie: Whaddya mean "not everyone agrees"? Why wouldn't they?18:36
* hamitron doesn't18:36
BigRedSsome people use 'MB' o be 1025 KB18:37
BigRedS*to be18:37
AlanBellwell because fundamentally it is in powers of 218:37
AlanBellso units of 102418:37
BigRedSand 102418:37
* BigRedS can't type18:37
AlanBellbut marketing people can't handle that18:37
* hamitron was scared for a second some use 1025 now18:37
palnHow are you guys putting those notifications up like "BigRedS can't type", sent by "*"18:37
paln?18:38
palnI wanna know.18:38
AlanBellso it depends at which point the technology people hand over the counting to the marketing people18:38
BigRedSpaln: start the line wih '/me'18:38
* AlanBell tells paln to say "/me says foo"18:38
BigRedSso '/me can't type'18:38
BigRedShamitron: Well, it's a nice compromise. It's a round number closer to 1024 :)18:38
hamitron:|18:39
* paln is confused with all this blabber18:39
hamitronI always assume someone selling something assumes 1000Mb to 1Gb18:39
hamitronbut they are all against me18:39
hamitron;)18:39
palnlemme guess, they all mean GiB?18:40
hamitroncheap ass rip off mercents18:40
hamitronmerchants18:40
hamitrongah18:40
BigRedSpaln: Basically, it can make sense both for 1Kb to be 1000b or 1024b. It's arguably more 'correct' to use 1024, but easier to use 1000. So 'kib' _always_ means 1024b since kb normally means 1000b18:40
palnso, can i put up a not with some1 else's display name?18:41
palne.g '/hamitron blah blah blah'?18:41
paln*not=note18:41
BigRedSthe people that use 1000 in general wont be persuaded to use different notation to highlight the fact that the multiple is 100018:41
BigRedSpaln: no, but if you start aline with someone's name it's highlighted on their client18:41
BigRedSnormally18:41
palni kno that...18:41
palnBigRedS: duh(!)18:42
BigRedShaha, ah, fair enough18:42
palnIRC acts as if it's a personal message18:42

gorddaubers, its a c module for python, it dynamically recompiles some python code, its good for lots of arithmetic21:37
gorddaubers, you should try in jython and pypy too at least21:37
daubershmmm, all I'm doin is reading an sql db and outputting a csv21:37
moreatiI think psyco is no more, cython is it's replacement21:39
gordmoreati, no, thats wrong in every way21:40
gordcpython is the default python, the one everyone uses21:40
gordpsyco is a c module that can be used by cpython21:40
moreaticython replaces something though I'm sure21:40
daubersHmmm... no psyco in the debian repo on that p[latform21:43
daubersJob for tomorrow I think21:44
otaku_coderhi. I was wondering if I replaced nautilis-wallpaper manager with the compiz manager, would I be able to span a wallpaper properly between 2 screens? native span doesn't work as previous and i know there is a big bug thread for it.21:44
otaku_coderthis is for maverick btw..21:45
palni was looking for something similar to otaku_coder, a wallpaper that spans over multiple workspaces21:46
palnr at least an Ubuntu themed/related wallpaper that repeats itself like a wallpaper in a room does21:47
paln*or at least21:47
dwatkinsI used to have images of Mars, the Earth and Venus as my wallpaper on three adjacent monitors.21:51
palndwatkins: that'd be cool!21:52
otaku_coderdwatkins: ive got a few downloaded like that, but span just plants them in the middle of the 2 screens, rather than zoom/stretch as it used to be21:52
palnbut i dnt HAVE 3 monitors...21:52
palnc ya guys22:09
Mezotaku_coder: *waves*22:14
Mezotaku_coder: you're referring people here now, instead of to me on twitter, right ? :P22:14
otaku_coderhi dude!22:15
otaku_coderhaha yeah, figured i'd ask in the right place this time22:16
