[00:06] <Azelphur> what package is add-apt-repository in?
[00:08] <dutchie> Azelphur: dpkg -S $(which add-apt-repository)
[00:08] <dutchie> python-software-properties: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository
[00:08] <Azelphur> ty
[00:08] <dutchie> that is a useful invocation to remember
[00:08] <Azelphur> dutchie: this is why I keep logs :)
[00:47] <LordTebibit> I blame dutchie for today's splits.
[00:56] <[Farsight]> register Azra3l
[00:56] <[Farsight]> :S
[00:57]  * LordTebibit resists urge to ghost [Farsight]
[00:57] <LordTebibit> CHANGE THE PASSWORD QUICK
[00:58] <[Farsight]> done it :)
[01:15] <Craig_Dem> I've done that so many times I've lost count.
[01:15] <Craig_Dem> I have to get the IRC client to do it for me.
[01:19] <daftykins> anyone bake brownies regularly? i'm after a decent recipe :)
[01:20] <daftykins> also, hi! it's been a while :)
[01:25] <hamitron> daftykins: not sure on how to make them, but I recommend you put a frame in the tray
[01:26] <daftykins> hey hamitron, how do you mean?
[01:26] <hamitron> if you bake them in 1 large slab, they go soggy in the middle
[01:27] <daftykins> yeah my first plan sort of failed like that
[01:27] <daftykins> although it also wasn't proper chocolate
[01:27] <hamitron> :/
[01:27] <daftykins> yeah i didn't read the label properly, it was chocolate flavour cake topping
[01:27] <hamitron> hehe
[01:27] <daftykins> so it was only something like 5% cocoa
[01:28] <daftykins> :D
[01:28] <hamitron> I don't make them
[01:28] <hamitron> ;)
[01:28] <hamitron> but my sister is a cheff
[01:28] <daftykins> well i've got allegedly the right stuff now
[01:28] <daftykins> o rly
[01:28] <hamitron> so I eat stuff ofc
[01:28] <hamitron> :)
[01:28]  * hamitron is the proud owner of 1 round belly
[01:29] <daftykins> ^_^
[01:29] <daftykins> there is a metal tray sorta cake-mould like in the kitchen
[01:29] <daftykins> as in, with 6 little cupped bits so to speak
[01:30] <daftykins> not sure if that's a good idea or not
[01:30] <hamitron> I'd guess it won't hold enough
[01:30] <hamitron> ;)
[01:30] <daftykins> hamitron: hehe indeed
[01:31] <hamitron> I personally like soggy fatty stuff though
[01:31] <hamitron> so depends on your taste
[01:31] <hamitron> just not so easy to eat as they fall apart
[01:33] <daftykins> hehe
[01:33] <daftykins> just want to make good ones really
[01:37] <hamitron> man, need grub now
[01:37] <hamitron> but I should really sleep, got an early start
[01:38] <daftykins> :)
[01:38] <daftykins> i'm feeling like that
[01:38] <hamitron> you are the one cooking brownies at 1:30am...
[01:39] <daftykins> oh no i'm just planning to :D
[01:39] <hamitron> I never do more than a bacon butty
[01:39] <hamitron> ah :)
[01:39] <daftykins> maybe tomorrow
[01:39] <daftykins> i'm overthinking the whole process now
[01:40] <hamitron> making a scedule on google calander and everything? ;/
[01:40] <hamitron> must admit, I sometimes spend too much time thinking about doing something :\
[01:41] <daftykins> :)
[01:41] <daftykins> i must admit, sometimes you see things you wouldn't have thought of
[01:41] <daftykins> and can save yourself some time
[01:41] <daftykins> but mostly you just don't get it done :D
[01:42] <hamitron> yeh
[01:42] <hamitron> my personal website has taken 12 years, and it only has "Temp Page" on it
[01:43] <Azelphur> hamitron: reminds me of Daviey's website
[01:43] <hamitron> Daviey?
[01:43] <Azelphur> yup
[01:43] <daftykins> Azelphur: \o/
[01:43] <hamitron> who? :D
[01:43] <Azelphur> you know, team leader.
[01:43] <Azelphur> xD
[01:43] <hamitron> team leader?
[01:43] <Azelphur> he's the ubuntu uk team leader
[01:44] <hamitron> oh, I don't know that sorta thing ;/
[01:44] <Azelphur> haha
[01:44] <hamitron> I just chat and enjoy myself in here
[01:44] <Azelphur> me too :p
[01:44] <daftykins> all the idlers seem important in here i find.
[01:44] <Azelphur> hamitron: Daviey is funny, I rent a VPS off him and paying for it is like getting blood out of a stone
[01:45] <hamitron> talking of idlers... wonder if I got into top 20 yet
[01:45] <Azelphur> I believe it's about a month since he was going to eat his hat if he didn't invoice me tommorrow which was about a month after he was going to fix it because it was getting silly which is about a month...
[01:45] <Azelphur> he does monthly *cough*yearly*cough* billing :p
[01:45] <hamitron> :D
[01:46] <hamitron> that is kinda service I need...
[01:46] <hamitron> hehe
[01:46] <hamitron> pophey has reset the stats? :|
[01:46] <Azelphur> hamitron: the random huge bill type of service? :p
[01:47] <Azelphur> hamitron: indeed, madness :(
[01:47] <hamitron> oh no
[01:47] <Azelphur> hamitron: I have this little club, "People waiting to pay Daviey"
[01:47] <Azelphur> there's 3 people in it now.
[01:47] <hamitron> just bill me for a month once a year would be nicer
[01:47] <Azelphur> haha
[01:48] <hamitron> oh noes
[01:48] <hamitron> I found 2 choc oranges :/
[01:49] <hamitron> all hail the essential IT supplies drawer... \o/
[01:49] <daftykins> :O
[01:49] <daftykins> sweet
[01:49] <hamitron> I got an unopened pack of cdrw too
[01:49] <hamitron> max 2x :/
[01:51] <hamitron> 40 min burn for 650Mb kinda sucks these days
[01:51]  * hamitron is sorting stuff ready for xmas
[01:51] <daftykins> haha my first writer was 4x
[01:51] <daftykins> i thought that was bad
[01:51] <daftykins> so 2x, that's 300KB/sec :>
[01:52] <hamitron> at the time, my hd was only 1.2Gb ;/
[01:52] <hamitron> this was like amazing
[01:52] <hamitron> wish I could have 5Tb optical disks now
[01:52] <hamitron> for £2 each
[01:53] <daftykins> ugh i don't trust data on optical media :)
[01:53] <hamitron> or even £10
[01:53] <hamitron> me neither
[01:53] <hamitron> but what can ya do?
[01:53] <hamitron> atm I have loads of hd, and everything I have is on 2 disks at a time
[01:54] <hamitron> not even sure how much of what, I have where now
[01:54] <Azelphur> I'm trying to play this on piano http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWouiFmYBjo#t=4s
[01:54] <Azelphur> it's like a guitar hero scene from hell xD
[01:55] <Azelphur> I've already got the first couple lines down, making progress \o/
[01:56] <hamitron> :D
[01:56] <daftykins> i have a 5TB file server that's RAID 5'd
[01:56] <daftykins> it does me well.
[01:56] <daftykins> though of course it's no substitute for backup
[01:56] <hamitron> daftykins: I not got the budget
[01:56] <daftykins> no? why not? :)
[01:57] <hamitron> well
[01:57] <hamitron> I probably do, but waste it on crap
[01:57] <hamitron> ;/
[01:57] <daftykins> in some ways i'm considering the above waste now :D
[01:58] <hamitron> my NAS can do RAID 1 if I want, but I prefer to have no raid, then use the 2nd disk as a backup
[01:58] <Azelphur> hamitron: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/misc/December%202010/hesapirateline1.ogg the bit I can play so far xD
[01:59] <Azelphur> also half speed \o/
[01:59] <hamitron> not bad
[01:59] <hamitron> :)
[01:59] <Azelphur> ty :p
[01:59] <Azelphur> gonna try and tackle it one line a day hopefully I'll get through it lol
[02:00] <Azelphur> this is one way to resume piano after a few years break \o/
[02:00] <hamitron> we should mix our music together
[02:00] <hamitron> haha
[02:00] <Azelphur> haha what do you play?
[02:00] <hamitron> drums
[02:00] <hamitron> well
[02:00] <hamitron> I try to play ;/
[02:00] <Azelphur> hehe
[02:01] <daftykins> ah that was great browser
[02:01] <daftykins> give me a little grey box with a loading animation on Azelphur's link
[02:01] <hamitron> mine did too
[02:01] <hamitron> :)
[02:01] <daftykins> then just turn said animation into a lighter grey cross :P
[02:02] <hamitron> hmmm
[02:02] <Azelphur> haha no doubt trying to stream it and not doing too well
[02:02] <hamitron> mine had a play and pause button \o/
[02:02] <hamitron> kinda proud
[02:02] <hamitron> it is normally my connection that breaks
[02:03] <daftykins> :O
[02:03] <daftykins> well i'd have alternatives but i'm feeling lazy
[02:03] <daftykins> and it's late
[02:04] <Azelphur> you just file save as
[02:04] <Azelphur> and open it in a media player
[02:04] <Azelphur> it's just an ogg file :D
[02:05] <daftykins> zomg
[02:05] <daftykins> yeah i knew it was
[02:06] <Azelphur> hehe
[02:06] <Azelphur> any good? :D
[02:06] <daftykins> i never know you could just save as that way
[02:06] <Azelphur> well, for a few hours anyway
[02:06] <Azelphur> :)
[02:06] <daftykins> i always used to just shove it in a download manager, or make a little HTML file so i could right click
[02:06] <daftykins> i'm sure it doesn't work for some failed content
[02:06] <Azelphur> haha
[02:06] <daftykins> e.g. say if my browser tries to use quicktime plugins
[02:06] <Azelphur> daftykins: if you think thats cool, go watch a youtube video and look in /tmp
[02:06] <daftykins> and i want to just download the .mov or whatever
[02:07] <Azelphur> you'll find a FlashXyzzy video :)
[02:07] <daftykins> Azelphur: ah that i knew already. although i don't run ubuntu
[02:07] <Azelphur> ah
[02:07] <hamitron> can I use javascript to insert raw html code from another file?
[02:07] <hamitron> or another html page without using frames
[02:07] <Azelphur> hamitron: yea, I have an example of that on my webpage
[02:07] <daftykins> interesting, winamp is associated to .ogg but sticks its' nose up at it
[02:07] <Azelphur> hamitron: http://game.azelphur.com/players?serverid=1
[02:08] <hamitron> ty, will look
[02:08] <hamitron> :)
[02:08] <daftykins> sounds good by the way ^_^
[02:08] <Azelphur> hamitron: that page automatically updates itself every few seconds by grabbing content from http://game.azelphur.com/serverplayers.php?serverid=1
[02:08] <Azelphur> daftykins: ty :D
[02:08] <daftykins> screw the speed XD
[02:08] <Azelphur> haha
[02:08] <Azelphur> I'll get the speed soon enough
[02:09] <Azelphur> hopefully within a week or 2 :p
[02:09] <hamitron> I can't get the speed yet :/
[02:09] <daftykins> friend of mine played for years
[02:09] <hamitron> sorta been trying for 18 months now
[02:09] <daftykins> don't think she does much anymore
[02:10] <daftykins> anywho g'night gents!
[02:10] <daftykins> o/
[02:10] <Azelphur> hehe
[02:10] <hamitron> nn dafty
[02:10] <hamitron> but I am slowly getting better Azelphur
[02:10] <hamitron> :)
[02:10] <hamitron> probably not as fast as I could if I practised regularly
[02:11] <Azelphur> indeed, regular practice is the key :p
[02:11] <hamitron> but I find I have to consider others in the house...
[02:11] <hamitron> ;)
[02:11] <Azelphur> yay for midi keyboard and headphones
[02:11] <hamitron> yes
[02:12] <hamitron> hmmm

[09:45] <exobuzz> they are sure to show it this year...
[09:45] <popey> gently snowing here in farnborough
[09:46] <nperry> heavy here popey
[09:46] <popey> http://popey.com/webcam/ doesnt show up on the camera though, so light
[09:46] <nperry> should be coming your way
[09:46] <TheOpenSourcerer> Apparently it is already snowing quite hard in Guildford. We have a few small flakes at the mo but nothing significant.
[09:46] <exobuzz> snowman looking a bit camp with the limp wrists ;-)
[09:47] <MartijnVdS> webcamp
[09:48] <bigcalm> Has it been named yet?
[09:48] <popey> hah
[09:48] <popey> "Snowy"
[09:48] <exobuzz> snubuntu ?
[09:48] <exobuzz> :)
[09:49] <TheOpenSourcerer> http://uksnowmap.com/ Interesting chart - very good concentration of tweets...
[09:49] <exobuzz> thats a popular site. nice idea. i wonder how much cache the adverts generated
[09:49] <exobuzz> wow. lots of snow
[09:49] <TheOpenSourcerer> I think this is more reliable than the Met Office: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_latest_radar.html
[09:49] <exobuzz> its coming!!
[09:50] <exobuzz> s/cache/cash/
[10:12] <czajkowski> yay another hotel to stay tonight
[10:13] <bigcalm> \o/
[10:22] <popey> czajkowski: decent one?
[10:23]  * nperry wonders why met office twitter is only office hours... does it not snow/rain out of office hours?
[10:25] <bigcalm> nperry: Not everybody works 24/7
[10:25] <Apacheuk> yay! water leak in the comms room at work, no VPN access
[10:25] <bigcalm> Ouch
[10:26] <Apacheuk> yeah, good for me, maybe not so for the comms guys :)
[10:32] <popey> nperry: same goes for many gov websites
[10:33] <nperry> Might be worth paying some one to do out of office hours, for something as important as weather.
[10:38] <czajkowski> popey think so yvonnie booked it for me and is close by
[10:41] <bigcalm> It's 20/12 - the end of the world?
[10:42] <MartijnVdS> bigcalm: hahaha :)
[10:43] <daubers> Anyone know of a tool that parses iostat data into some kind of csv file?
[10:45] <bigcalm> What's the output of iostat like?
[10:45] <diplo> http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/135941-parsing-iostat-real-time.html
[10:45] <diplo> Think i've used this post before
[10:47] <daubers> diplo: Ooooh, ta
[10:48] <diplo> Car tracks are filled in by new snow now
[10:48]  * diplo wants to go home and play with kids in the snow
[10:54] <brobostigon> morning all.
[10:59] <davmor2> morning all
[10:59] <davmor2> czajkowski: did you get to Ireland :)
[10:59] <brobostigon> morning davmor2
[11:01] <MartijnVdS> People in the south aren't happy now I guess: http://www.meteox.nl/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=loop1uur
[11:02] <brobostigon> MartijnVdS: yeah, spoton.
[11:04] <exobuzz> no snow here yet... waiting..

[11:05] <diplo> lots here near bath :(
[11:05] <Apacheuk> exobuzz: its in Thame apparently, jsut spoke to a friend and its just started
[11:05] <exobuzz> im sort of enjoying it..
[11:06] <exobuzz> well. its nice to look at.. not nice if you have to get somewhere. heh
[11:06] <exobuzz> Apacheuk, aah .. not far then
[11:07] <brobostigon> we have around a foot of snow stuck here.
[11:07] <popey> yay
[11:07] <MartijnVdS> Everything was clear here (well, lots of snow but the roads had been cleared)
[11:08] <MartijnVdS> but now the road surface is freezing again, so maximum speeds have been lowered _everywhere_ :)
[11:08] <MartijnVdS> I'm glad I decided to work from home
[11:11] <exobuzz> popey, how did you manage the snowman. my snow here is just powder. cant get it started. just crumbled!
[11:11] <exobuzz> too cold
[11:11] <popey> yeah, it was tricky
[11:11] <exobuzz> got some pro tips ?
[11:11] <popey> http://popey.blip.tv/file/4528709/ watch my pro snowman video!
[11:11] <popey> :)
[11:12] <popey> also available in ogg theora http://popey.blip.tv/file/4528709?filename=Popey-SnowmanBuilding655.ogv
[11:14] <exobuzz> haha cool!
[11:15] <exobuzz> love your outside webcam.
[11:15] <popey> :)
[11:17] <popey> exobuzz: sam picked the head up at one point then dropped it, it split into 3 parts
[11:17] <popey> I expect as the snow warms it will resplit and fall again
[11:17] <bigcalm> That's gonna leave a mark
[11:17] <popey> Yeah, very nasty bruise
[11:17] <bigcalm> Bit of a headache maybe
[11:17] <popey> i was surprised he could lift it, it was pretty heavy
[11:18] <andylockran> did you put ice on it to reduce the swelling?
[11:18] <popey> It snow joke bigcalm
[11:18] <bigcalm> popey: I wouldn't want such a splitting headache myself#
[11:18] <popey> you can probably make out the split
[11:18] <popey> just behind his left eye
[11:19] <popey> goes from his hat to his neck
[11:19] <popey> yeah, you can make out the shadow of it on the cam
[11:19] <popey> s/left/right/
[11:20] <bigcalm> I thought he was wearing a wig
[11:20] <popey> shhh!
[11:20] <popey> he'll hear you
[11:20] <daubers> Hmmm... snowing again
[11:20] <popey> he's very sensitive about that
[11:21] <popey> I think he's looking at me
[11:21] <exobuzz> popey, tried again no luck. its just powder. i cant even form a snowball
[11:22] <popey> :(
[11:22] <exobuzz> maybe in a few days
[11:22] <exobuzz> and i hit my shin against a camouflaged plant pot!
[11:22] <exobuzz> too dangerous for me out there!
[11:23] <brobostigon> :(
[11:24] <exobuzz> and there was a row of death icicles waiting to fall on you when you open the door!
[11:24] <popey> hah
[11:25] <MartijnVdS> so we're lucky you're still here ;)
[11:25] <popey> i was tempted to get the hoze out and spray the garden with a fine mist so we'd have lots of ice everywhere
[11:25] <popey> "lucky"
[11:25] <popey> yes
[11:25] <popey> thats it
[11:25] <MartijnVdS> ಠ_ಠ
[11:27] <bigcalm> popey: you want ice?
[11:27] <popey> i was bored ;)
[11:28] <MartijnVdS> do you have skates? 8-)
[11:28] <popey> i dont
[11:28] <popey> i also don't posess a sense of balance
[11:28] <daubers> Hmmm... touch worried about the fact my car already has a cm of snow on it....
[11:29] <exobuzz> popey, and now your idea is logged, so that everyone is pre warned about your ice trap!
[11:31] <kazade> popey, did you up the rate of capture of your webcam
[11:31] <kazade> ?
[11:31] <popey> no
[11:31] <popey> it captures when the image changes by more than a certain amount
[11:31] <popey> its not timed
[11:31] <kazade> ah ok
[11:31] <kazade> that makes sense
[11:31] <exobuzz> on friday before the snow arrived at 4am there was a couple doing a certain act again my car. actually missed it but was informed by the neighbour the next day.
[11:31] <exobuzz> classy
[11:31] <popey> i can adjust the sensitivity
[11:31] <kazade> coz when you tweeted about building a snowman, I realized I could almost watch you in realtime by refreshing....
[11:31] <kazade> then I thought that was a bit weird, so I stopped
[11:32] <popey> :)
[11:32] <bigcalm> Ha
[11:32] <exobuzz> popey, how is the camera connected/powered etc ?
[11:32] <popey> i should blog this shouldn't I?
[11:33] <popey> people ask me enough times
[11:33] <MartijnVdS> Yes, you should.
[11:33] <exobuzz> yeh please. :)
[11:33] <popey> ok
[11:33] <MartijnVdS> "Making snowmen like a real man"
[11:34] <exobuzz> hehe
[11:35] <MartijnVdS> ("like a boss")
[11:35] <nperry> snow++
[11:36] <exobuzz> until i build one this year, i only have last years "strange" looking snowman http://www.exotica.org.uk/mediawiki/files/e/e6/2009-02-05-snowman.jpg
[11:37] <exobuzz> almost 2 years ago..
[11:37] <brobostigon> nice hat, :)
[11:37] <exobuzz> it was.. until my daughter had a poo accident on it.. its since had to be destroyed. :)
[11:38] <exobuzz> the snowman wasnt wearing it at the time of course.
[11:38] <MartijnVdS> Nice teeth. NHS? ;)
[11:38] <brobostigon> lol
[11:38] <exobuzz> yeh haha
[11:39] <_H> ping exobuzz
[11:39] <exobuzz> pong
[11:39] <_H> ok... odd
[11:39] <_H> https and http aint working
[11:39] <MartijnVdS> but IRC is? :) nice
[11:39] <exobuzz> bandwidth management.. irc has priority
[11:40] <brobostigon> port blocking ?
[12:45] <diplo> exobuzz, you do dev on xbmc don't you ?
[13:01] <czajkowski> aloha
[13:02] <czajkowski> hmm still in hotel 1 as no taxi will collect me to bring me to hotel 2 due to roads
[13:03] <diplo> wimps
[13:03] <diplo> :)
[13:06] <exobuzz> diplo, yeh. mostly on the xbox version and a few minor patches on mainline xbmc
[13:08] <diplo> recommend it over boxee ?
[13:08] <diplo> About to reinstall myrevo and just wanta clean install and not lots of apps
[13:08] <diplo> tried it 6+ months ago
[13:09] <diplo> Only one thing i don't like over Team Media portal for both xbmc and boxee is that i cant lock down spefiic folders, so i had a kids area before so just animated films and series ( postman pat etc ) we're
[13:09] <exobuzz> ive not actually tried boxee, so i couldnt say
[13:09] <diplo> with both the others last time i've tried they are all under videos
[13:09] <exobuzz> the new addons stuff in xbmc is nice
[13:10] <exobuzz> it has decent rtmp streaming meaning you dont need flash to view iplayer for example.
[13:10] <diplo> been reading up on it earlier, does look good
[13:10] <diplo> Well i think i'll give it another try later.
[13:10] <exobuzz> boxee uses a built in browser with flash or something i believe.
[13:11] <exobuzz> if you try em both, id be interesting in your thoughts / preference
[13:12] <exobuzz> i only actually run xbmc on linux for testing stuff, as my "htpc" is the old xbox1 still..
[13:12] <diplo> kk, not sure how i installed mine
[13:12] <diplo> heh, i recently gave my xbox1 away, tbh alot of my video is mkv encoded so it just couldn;t handle it
[13:14] <nperry> still snowing here woo
[13:16]  * czajkowski stabs nperry for being happy with snow 
[13:16] <maco> czajkowski: if you were near mountains you might be happy with snow :)
[13:16] <czajkowski> no I will never ever be happyw ith snow!
[13:17]  * maco intends to spend all next week skiing
[13:20] <MartijnVdS> maco: from home to work? :)
[13:20] <maco> MartijnVdS: nah, hols
[13:21] <gord> its a monday and i'm not working on ubuntu stuff \o/ holidays are the best
[13:31]  * daubers ponders a walk upto Tesco to get some lunch
[13:35] <MartijnVdS> slide*
[13:36]  * AlanBell wonders where czajkowski is today
[13:37]  * czajkowski is here
[13:38] <czajkowski> in hotel A close to airport
[13:38] <czajkowski> trying to get to hotel b later on
[13:38] <AlanBell> then catching flight c?
[13:38] <davmor2> czajkowski: not in ireland then?
[13:38] <czajkowski> davmor2: no do keep up
[13:38]  * czajkowski wallops davmor2 
[13:39] <czajkowski> AlanBell: flight is tomorrow at 10am
[13:42] <AlanBell> departure board isn't looking very full http://www.heathrowairport.com/ and gives me a huge javascript error
[13:43] <czajkowski> AlanBell: that website is ass
[13:44] <popey> MartijnVdS / exobuzz you asked... http://popey.com/blog/2010/12/20/my-ubuntu-webcam-setup/
[13:50]  * Nafallo sighs at the council
[13:50] <Nafallo> why do they have to be so oooold!
[13:50] <bigcalm> popey: whose house does the webcam look at then?
[13:50] <popey> thats my garage :)
[13:50] <popey> then a neighbour beyond that
[13:50] <bigcalm> Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, that makes so much more sense now :)
[13:50] <popey> hah
[13:50] <bigcalm> sence
[13:51]  * Nafallo just explained to some poor guy in detail how e-mail clients work these days and then asked him to forward my concerns about missing header information from their case-tracking application
[13:51] <popey> no, you were right first time
[13:51] <popey> sense
[13:51] <bigcalm> This is why I thought you had a wifi webcam or a very long USB lead or such
[13:51] <Nafallo> cause you know... reading inboxes are HARD
[13:56] <czajkowski> Nafallo: but of course
[13:56] <czajkowski> :)
[13:56] <czajkowski> clearly
[14:02] <Nafallo> hmm
[14:07] <exobuzz> popey, are you some kind of writing machine! might take me longer to read it :)
[14:10] <exobuzz> interesting. been a while since i tried a webcam on linux. i remember how awful it used to be though. back in the olden days
[14:10] <MartijnVdS> lots of stuff is UVC now, which is Good
[14:10] <exobuzz> (not finished reading. just a 1/3 way comment)
[14:13] <exobuzz> is it possible to go direct to theora with mencoder/ffmpeg instead of transcoding. guess there is quality loss there
[14:13] <exobuzz> also.. why not mpeg4 instead of msmpeg4v2 ? :)
[14:14] <exobuzz> nice article though. time to dig out an old webcam
[14:16] <popey> :)

[14:36] <nperry> oh dear, the girlfriend has left her car in the hedge
[14:36] <Darael> nperry: Oh, dear.
[14:39] <diplo> nperry, where is that ?
[14:39] <diplo> I'm in your area :) make sure we watch out
[14:43] <daubers> nperry: At least you can class that as "Off the road" when you state where it's parked on the insurance form
[14:44] <danfish> ironically, Winter doesn't 'officially' start until tomorrow
[14:46] <daubers> Urgh, still need to drive home and it's snowing again
[14:46] <Darael> danfish: That's silly, tommorow is /mid/winter.
[14:46] <diplo> yep same here, thinking of leaving shortly :)
[14:47] <daubers> diplo: Can't leave until the couriers picked up :(
[14:47] <danfish> Darael: yup, I agree
[14:51] <mattt> daubers: snowing again?  where you at?
[14:51]  * mattt wants no more snow
[14:51] <diplo> We have in bA14 ( Nr Bath )
[14:51] <diplo> Stopped for an hour, but basically been constant since 9:30/10 i suppose
[14:52] <mattt> ughhh
[14:52] <diplo> Getting quite heavy againnow
[14:52] <nperry> diplo is in trowbridge..
[14:53] <nperry> stopped in warminster
[14:53] <diplo> yeah just started about 5 mins ago
[14:53] <issyl0> Hey.
[14:53] <diplo> winds blowing in your direction nperry so could be on it;s way to you now
[14:53] <diplo> :)
[14:54] <issyl0> AlanBell: ping. I'm wondering, where is the Wiki page for the Christmas thing tomorrow, if indeed it is still going ahead? (popey?)
[14:54] <AlanBell> hi issyl0
[14:54] <nperry> sounds good, girlfriend got sent home from virgin... Made it to our village and got stuck in a hedge about 10m from the house
[14:54] <AlanBell> college today issyl0?
[14:54] <maco> AlanBell: mistab?
[14:55] <AlanBell> where?
[14:55] <diplo> Much damage nperry ?
[14:55] <maco> AlanBell: issy isnt hte person who just /join'd...
[14:55] <maco> OH
[14:55] <maco> i fail at reading. she's above the join
[14:56] <AlanBell> Christmas party http://ubunt.eu/c2
[14:56]  * mattt stares at maco
[14:56] <AlanBell> maco: lots of snow here at the moment
[14:56] <Daviey> AlanBell, looks like the snow is blocking me going to the london event :(
[14:56] <AlanBell> mattt: don't worry, she isn't from round these parts
[14:57] <AlanBell> Daviey: oh noes!
[14:57]  * mattt pats maco on the head
[14:57] <maco> yeah all ive got is a light dusting of snow
[14:57] <Pendulum> there is no snow here :(
[14:57] <maco> i can see the grass through it
[14:57] <maco> Pendulum: but you're north!
[14:57] <Pendulum> I would like the UK weather to move to New England
[14:57] <maco> i would like to be on a mountain with a foot of fresh powder
[14:58] <Pendulum> maco: I know. we're in a small area that has pretty much avoided everything. instead it's been far, far too cold
[14:58] <AlanBell> London is north of Calgary
[14:58] <Pendulum> but my father would like a snowstorm on Christmas Day so that we don't have to go to my aunt & uncle's for christmas
[14:58] <maco> hahaha
[14:59] <Pendulum> well, it's 60 miles away, always runs late, and my cousin is cooking turkey and she's never done a huge meal before :-/
[14:59] <exobuzz> popey, joggler related.. not ubuntu though :) http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/MtWc_BIHflg/
[14:59] <Pendulum> he'd like to have the weather as an excuse so we can stay home and have a standing roast
[14:59] <Pendulum> (if not, we will have the roast on the 26th, but will still not avoid the long drive and possibly my grandmother and I falling asleep before dinner)
[14:59] <daubers> mattt: Near reading
[15:00]  * AlanBell is on a bootie call with Daviey
[15:00] <mattt> daubers: damn, not far from me :(
[15:00] <Daviey> AlanBell, hah
[15:00] <maco> Pendulum: does what AlanBell just said mean something different on their side of the pond than it does on ours?
[15:00] <AlanBell> maco: I hope so :)
[15:01] <Pendulum> maco: I agree with AlanBell on this one, but I don't know the meaning
[15:01] <popey> exobuzz: is that xp on the joggler?
[15:01] <exobuzz> yeh
[15:02] <exobuzz> some chinese hackers.. nothing released though. just the video and some forum threads in chinese
[15:02] <popey> i cant see that site, no flash on this machine
[15:03] <Pendulum> maco: I've been given clarification. I don't think it's a UK vs. US, just a geek vs. non-geek
[15:03] <exobuzz> sorry :). just copied from a forum..
[15:03] <zerty> hi there
[15:03] <zerty> i create a folder with chmod 777 on /var/www/folderx, i also create a new user :  user1
[15:04] <zerty> the user1 can access to my server over ftp
[15:04] <zerty> but he can't able to write anything on folderx ?
[15:04] <zerty> what could be the problem ?
[15:04] <popey> #uksnow gu14 2/10
[15:05] <issyl0> AlanBell: thank you :)
[15:07] <issyl0> AlanBell: and yes, a good day at college. Reasonably. Very snowy and we were only 2 in our computing class, however the teacher decided to do the lesson anyway.
[15:07] <issyl0> That was hilarious. "Right then, let's start revising some boolean algebra." *looks around* we're alone.... :P
[15:08] <MartijnVdS> issyl0: you: "True".
[15:08] <issyl0> MartijnVdS: tsssk
[15:08] <dutchie> i'd say we are up to about 7-8/10 #uksnow here
[15:08] <dutchie> (WR4)
[15:08] <zerty> hello
[15:08] <zerty> anyone there ?
[15:08] <popey> hello
[15:09] <MartijnVdS> issyl0: too obvious? :)
[15:09] <popey> zerty: you might have better luck in #ubuntu
[15:09] <issyl0> MartijnVdS: mmm
[15:09] <zerty> it is not ubuntu issue ?
[15:12] <dwatkins> zerty: that sounds like an issue with the user the FTP daemon is running as or the login they are using, but the support channel is probably the best place to ask.
[15:13] <davmor2> Oh snow and I hadn't even noticed
[15:16] <zerty> support channel it isn't here ? dwatkins
[15:17] <dwatkins> zerty: there's another channel, #ubuntu, this is more of a social channel, although we sometimes talk techical here too.
[15:17] <Daviey> Who here has a webcam, flash and a few mins spare? :)
[15:17] <Daviey> ideally a mic aswell
[15:18] <Darael> Daviey: I guess I can spare a little time.
[15:18] <zerty> and here the channel is just only for talking about UK news ?
[15:18] <zerty> :)
[15:18] <Pendulum> bigcalm: ^^
[15:20] <popey> zerty: if nobody is willing or able to answer your question, maybe ask in #ubuntu or ##linux ?
[15:32] <Azelphur> I broke chromes page sandboxing

[15:45] <ebeeb> Live CD 10.10 did not installed the bootloader (GRUB?) so i cannot boot my machine.
[15:46] <ebeeb> is there anyone who can help me?
[15:47] <popey> ebeeb: you might want to try in #ubuntu - the support channel
[15:47] <ebeeb> good idead!
[15:49] <bigcalm> Pendulum: ?
[15:49] <Pendulum> bigcalm: nevermind. we were going to invite you to test something but you're too late :(
[15:50] <bigcalm> Boo!
[15:51] <Pendulum> I'm so glad the newspaper has informed me of important things to know in the holiday season: http://www.courant.com/health/la-he-bmj-christmas-20101218,0,280495.story
[15:51] <czajkowski> there are between 1 and 2K people waiting outside Terminal 3 in Heathrow trying to get in
[15:52] <popey> :S
[15:52] <popey> between one person and two thousand people?
[15:52] <popey> thats quite a wide margin
[15:52] <czajkowski> !K
[15:52] <czajkowski> 1K
[15:52] <popey> :)
[15:53] <czajkowski> popey: I can at least laugh today at your sense of humour
[15:53] <czajkowski> :)
[15:55] <popey> :)
[15:56] <popey> hey czajkowski come down for a podcast recording, forget heathrow, thats clearly for losers ;)

[15:57] <Daviey> 500 slices will last how many seconds?
[16:01] <MartijnVdS> Daviey: 2
[16:01] <MartijnVdS> assuming parallel delivery
[16:02] <czajkowski> out of the 6 usa folks I'm sitting with, 2 just got their flights canceled
[16:02]  * dwatkins wonders what Dominos are doing at Heathrow
[16:02] <dwatkins> i.e. whether they are doing the same thing there
[16:03] <MartijnVdS> Why are the London airports so much worse off than other snowed-in European airports? Bad preparation?
[16:04] <Azelphur> lol
[16:04] <Azelphur> MartijnVdS: snow scares us.
[16:04]  * dutchie ventures out with a dog
[16:05] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: snow scares us as well -- barely any trains, 50kph limits @ motorways, one day of cancelled flights
[16:05] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: but airports are almost completely "up" now
[16:05] <Azelphur> :)
[16:06] <MartijnVdS> People are calling for the head of the rail company and infrastructure company
[16:06] <MartijnVdS> heads*
[16:07] <MartijnVdS> ("There are no significant problems, we're running a standard snow schedule" -- later that day "Uh, sorry. 50% of our trains is broken because of molten bits getting into electric bits)
[16:08] <Azelphur> lol
[16:08] <Azelphur> it's been melting down my way
[16:08] <Azelphur> not all gone though
[16:08] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: they "upgraded" all trains over the summer to be "snow-proof"
[16:08] <MartijnVdS> That didn't work :)
[16:09] <Azelphur> indeed
[16:12] <kvarley> I have an Acer Aspire 6930G that is running 10.10 64bit and everything was working fine but now suddenly the wireless has stopped working. "Enable Wireless" in the nm-applet is greyed out and when I try using the wireless through terminal is mentions rf kill. RF kill reports that the wireless lan is hard blocked. How can I remove or bypass the lock?
[16:13] <MartijnVdS> kvarley: it's probably a button or switch on the laptop
[16:13] <MartijnVdS> wifi on/off
[16:13] <MartijnVdS> or "airplane mode"
[16:13] <kvarley> MartijnVdS: Yeah I thought that but for the life of me I cant see it. Do you think acer have schematics of their laptops explaining the keys and such?
[16:14] <MartijnVdS> kvarley: they have manuals that state this
[16:14] <MartijnVdS> mine had a button the front
[16:14] <MartijnVdS> others have a "Fn+function key" combination
[16:14] <kvarley> Ok I will have a look for the manual. Thanks

I didn't realise that next time it there is an icon which is meant to be glowing orange for wireless to be on. When it's turned off it isn't illuminated so was hard to spot. The first time I tried it I dont think I held it long enough either.
[16:36] <MartijnVdS> ah :)
[16:36] <kvarley> NativeAngels: What pcmcia are you setting up? What issues are you having?
[16:36] <kvarley> MartijnVdS: You saved the day :)
[16:36] <MartijnVdS> NativeAngels: most pcmcia should work out of the box
[16:36] <NativeAngels> its a trendnet card
[16:36] <NativeAngels> ive installed using ndiswrapper
[16:37] <MartijnVdS> is it wireless?
[16:37] <NativeAngels> when i do ndiswrapper -l i get driver present, hardware present
[16:37] <NativeAngels> yes
[16:37] <MartijnVdS> it could be a lost cause, with old stuff like pcmcia
[16:37] <MartijnVdS> and unknownness like trendnet
[16:38] <NativeAngels> it works on other versions of linux and other laptops
[16:38] <NativeAngels> this is just a old piece of kit
[16:38] <NativeAngels> when i do iwconfig all i get is lo no wireless extensions
[16:39] <MartijnVdS> !ndiswrapper
[16:39] <AlanBell> Pendulum: they look like ubuntinis in that article
[16:39] <czajkowski> popey: you're missing from over there ------>
[16:51] <kvarley> popey: I got drawn in and bought the Ubuntu Winterwarmers package. Hoodie + Cup. Got them today in the post, they are good. :)
[17:00] <kvarley> Hhmmm. Ubuntu 10.10 64bit - In the USC I click on the "Install" button on any application and it doesn't do anything. I ran it from terminal and it churns out this message when I click the button: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546014/
[17:05] <Phineas> hi all I have returned
[17:05] <Nafallo> woho!
[17:06] <Phineas> I am on my new mobile phone so forgive me as I am getting used to the keyboard
[17:08] <davmor2> Phineas: No we'll flame you for every mistake you make typing on your new phone ;)
[17:31] <alexcckll> Hi all..
[17:51]  * bigcalm notices that minecraft server is currently off line. I wonder why
[17:53] <andylockran> howdy all
[17:53] <andylockran> czajkowski: how you doing?
[17:53] <jacobw> hullo :)
[17:53]  * jacobw is messing with weechat
[17:54] <bigcalm> Sounds messy
[18:12] <czajkowski> andylockran: still here
[18:23] <Pendulum> czajkowski: the weather gods really don't like you, do they :-/
[18:23] <popey> :(
[18:23] <czajkowski> nope it would seem not
[18:23] <kvarley> Minecraft beta, to buy or not to buy that is the question.
[18:24] <czajkowski> feck sake all I want to do is go home to an Irish breakie, tea and sleep :(
[18:24] <popey> kvarley: should have bought the alha :)
[18:24] <popey> *alpha
[18:24] <popey> czajkowski: listen to us :)
[18:24] <popey> that'll cheer you up :)
[18:24] <kvarley> popey: Was it cheaper?
[18:24] <popey> yes
[18:24] <popey> half price
[18:24] <TheOpenSourcerer> It does seem rather surprising that the UK is having such a strong desire to hang to czajkowski and not let her leave. ;-)
[18:25] <popey> nah, not surprising at all
[18:25] <czajkowski> TheOpenSourcerer: ALAN!
[18:25] <popey> we'll be burning her passport next
[18:25] <czajkowski> I was on tv earlier on
[18:25] <TheOpenSourcerer> Yes my dear?
[18:25] <kvarley> popey: I didn't realise they were doing another game so to speak. Is it a fun game?
[18:25] <czajkowski> TheOpenSourcerer: ALAN THERE IS NO DEAR !
[18:26] <TheOpenSourcerer> Were you as eloquent as your compatriot Father Jack?
[18:26] <czajkowski> I've been really good and spent most of the day online and working
[18:26] <Daviey> FOOL!
[18:26]  * AlanBell gets pinged by shouts of Alan
[18:26] <TheOpenSourcerer> I keep thinking about going to the pub.
[18:27] <jacobw> actually, weechat isn't a good idea seen as i don't actually have any problem with irssi
[18:28] <TheOpenSourcerer> Just booked my trip to Belgium in Jan. Quite looking forward to it now.
[18:28] <czajkowski> TheOpenSourcerer: FOSDEM
[18:29] <TheOpenSourcerer> Nope. OpenERP training course.
[18:29] <czajkowski> all the cool kids are going to FOSDEM
[18:29] <TheOpenSourcerer> I've never been cool and am hardly a kid ;-)
[18:30] <czajkowski> Aer Lingus regrets that Your Flight No: EI 0381 on 21 December 2010 at 1005 departing from LHR is cancelled

[18:30] <czajkowski> *sobs*

[18:32] <TheOpenSourcerer> czajkowski: Have you looked at boats?
[18:32] <czajkowski> doing it now
[18:33] <TheOpenSourcerer> Off to put kiddies to bed.

[19:02] <andylockran> Holyhead-Dun Laogh
[19:03] <czajkowski> andylockran: yeah it's getting to holyhead is now my issue tbh
[19:05] <daubers> czajkowski: Whats your nearest train station? Heathrow?
[19:08] <czajkowski> aye I gues so ..
[19:09] <andylockran> czajkowski: seriously - heathrow to Manchester
[19:09] <andylockran> you're more than welcome
[19:09] <czajkowski> andylockran: cheers
[19:10] <czajkowski> just having a drink here so I can gather my thoughts ring the mothership with a plan
[19:10] <czajkowski> as if she has to hear I'm not home again she may throw a wobbly
[19:10] <daubers> Well.... the only issue on the rail network is some issues between coventry and birghiman
[19:10] <daubers> birmingham
[19:10] <daftykins> heh i first heard 'mothership' used by Fearne Cotton on Radio1, is it wider spread than that though? :>
[19:11] <daftykins> also hi all :)
[19:12] <andylockran> £70 train to Manchester/Birkenhead
[19:12] <andylockran> Birkenhead to Dublin @ 10pm tomorrow £35
[19:13] <bigcalm> Dated a lass from Birkenhead. Good times, so long ago
[19:13] <czajkowski> ok
[19:13] <daubers> Only about 3 and a half hours on that train too
[19:14] <daubers> czajkowski: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ just in case you're not aware of it already (though I doubt that)
[19:15] <daftykins> has anyone used VMware ESX/ESXi in large setups at all?
[19:15] <mgdm> bigcalm: has Hayley appeared?
[19:16] <bigcalm> mgdm: thankfully yes. I should have tweeted
[19:16] <czajkowski> trains dont seem to run between Heathrow and Manchester..
[19:16] <AlanBell> czajkowski: there is swansea-cork too
[19:16] <czajkowski> oh true
[19:16] <moreati> I thought trains to manchester ran from Euston
[19:16] <AlanBell> http://book.fastnetline.com
[19:17] <daubers> AlanBell: Is that running again now?
[19:17] <AlanBell> czajkowski: there is one leaves at 8PM and is overnight, arrives 08:00
[19:17] <AlanBell> daubers: yes
[19:17] <AlanBell> £28 for a foot passenger, but you should get a cabin
[19:17] <daubers> Hmmm... they where talking about that whil I was at Uni there
[19:17] <czajkowski> AlanBell: got a link for that ???
[19:18] <daubers> czajkowski: You'd then just need to get to paddington and jump the next train to swansea
[19:18] <daubers> Take you between 2 and 3 hours iirc
[19:18] <AlanBell> in fact you must have a cabin, which is £44
[19:18] <nperry> daubers: paddington to swansea
[19:18] <nperry> will take a bit longer
[19:18] <nperry> as got to change at bristol
[19:18] <AlanBell> http://www.fastnetline.com
[19:18] <czajkowski> AlanBell: an you give me a direct link.. trying to get it and
[19:19] <daubers> nperry: No, it's direct
[19:19] <daubers> nperry: You go through bristol temple meads rather than through bristol itself
[19:19] <czajkowski> ok so I'd just need to get to Paddington
[19:19] <daubers> nperry: 3 and a bit hours
[19:19] <bigcalm> Nice station that
[19:20] <bigcalm> As far as London train stations go
[19:21] <daubers> czajkowski: trains from paddington to swansea go more or less every hour until 22:45
[19:21] <czajkowski> ok
[19:22] <foo123> I'm trying to recover a CD with a crack in it, I've created an ISO image with dd
[19:22] <foo123> oh.
[19:22] <jacobw> that is better.
[19:22] <daubers> czajkowski: Should be relativley easy tomorrow :) Even get a snooze on the train
[19:22] <daubers> czajkowski: Also, I know the head signaller for that line, so if you get stuck let me know
[19:23] <jacobw> Any suggestions on the next step/
[19:32] <Apacheuk> hi all? is UUPC streaming live tonight?
[19:33] <andylockran> yup
[19:33] <Apacheuk> take it the stream isn't up yet
[19:34] <moreati> Apacheuk: apparently yes http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/live/
[19:34] <moreati> (yes it's streaming, not yes it's up)
[19:34] <Apacheuk> ok cheers
[19:39] <popey> we're in pre-show
[19:39] <popey> well technically recording a segment
[19:39] <popey> you wont hear it in the live show
[19:40] <DJones> "pre-show" ? Sounds like that should mean mince pies & a sherry or two
[19:40] <AlanBell> speaking of mince pies and sherry . . .
[19:40] <jacobw> hmm mince pies
[19:40] <AlanBell> party tomorrow peeps
[19:40] <AlanBell> czajkowski will be partying on the boat
[19:41] <DJones> AlanBell: Boat back to Ireland for Christmas?
[19:41] <czajkowski> Have a ferry got from Hollyhead to Dublin has been booked
[19:41] <daubers> \o/
[19:42] <DJones> czajkowski: Heh, With this weather and at this rate, you'll be able to walk/drive across a frozen sea
[19:43] <czajkowski> lets not joke
[19:45] <daubers> Woohoo! Foods time!
[19:45] <moreati> Oh, reminds me I need to track down some mince to make pies
[19:51] <DJones> czajkowski: Well, looking at the forecast for my area on BBC, the temperature in the next 24 hours for the Liverpool/Cheshire/North Wales area isn't supposed to rise above -7C (and thats now) it just gets colder down to -10/-11C during the daytime tomorrow
[19:51] <marxjohnson> UUPC live stream will be starting at about half 8!
[19:53] <paln> hey guys! right now ubuntu's clock applet says it's 0C where i am...

[19:53] <davmor2> paln: lucky you
[19:53] <DJones> !uupc
[19:53] <davmor2> paln: -3 feels like -5.3
[19:54] <DJones> Thought there was a factoid for that
[19:54] <paln> "feels like -4.7"
[19:54] <AlanBell> DJones: there was a channel specific one
[19:54] <AlanBell> paln: it is the Ubuntu UK podcase
[19:54] <AlanBell> paln: it is the Ubuntu UK podcast
[19:54] <DJones> paln: Ubuntu UK podcast
[19:54] <AlanBell> http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org

[20:08] <jacobw> hi LSEactuary
[20:08] <LSEactuary> hi jacobw can you PM me please?
[20:08] <TheOpenSourcerer> A lunar eclipse in the morning: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/dec/20/lunar-eclipse-winter-solstice
[20:09] <LSEactuary> jacobw - can you help me please?
[20:09] <jacobw> i can try :)
[20:10] <LSEactuary> how do i burn stuff onto a DVD R using ubuntu
[20:10] <LSEactuary> using gnomebaker
[20:11] <jacobw> don't use gnomebaker
[20:11] <LSEactuary> okay dont worry :)
[20:11] <jacobw> use brasero, it is part of the default installation
[20:11] <moreati> LSEactuary: does it need to be gnomebaker specifically? If so, why?
[20:11] <jacobw> applications > sound & video > brasero
[20:12] <LSEactuary> okay dont worry i think ive got it
[20:12] <jacobw> what stuff are trying to burn? data or video
[20:12] <jacobw> yeah :) i was just gonna say make sure you choose the right project type
[20:12] <LSEactuary> dont worry its burning :)
[20:18] <ubuntuuk-planet> [Matthew Garrett] Dear internet - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/131342.html
[20:31] <Phineas> I have returned
[20:33] <Phineas> everyone is asleep I guess
[20:33] <Phineas> just as I need help as well
[20:34] <daftykins> :)
[20:34] <daftykins> ask away dear chap!
[20:35] <Phineas> how do I receve pms in thus clinant
[20:35]  * daftykins leans over and puts another coin in Phineas
[20:35] <DJones> Perhaps if you give it longer than 1 minute between joining the channel and assuming people are asleep might be a good idea
[20:35] <daftykins> which client is that?
[20:35] <Phineas> fIRC
[20:36] <Phineas> for android
[20:36] <jacobw> ITIL.. now i've heard of that
[20:37] <DJones> Phineas: Perhaps there's an Android channel, or maybe the xda forums would be able to help
[20:37] <Phineas> I know /msg works for sending pms but how do I receve them
[20:38] <Phineas> that is the question
[20:39] <Phineas> I don't know of any android channels
[20:40] <DJones> Have you asked in #freenode, thats the network admin channel
[20:40] <Phineas> except an android chat channel
[20:40] <LSEactuary> im trying to boot my computer with a windows CD but it just keeps restarting in ubutnu rather then starting with the CD
[20:40] <Phineas> why didn't Perry think of that
[20:41] <DJones> LSEactuary: Sounds like you're bios is set to boot from your first hard drive rather than cd first, you probably need to go into your bios settings at boot up & change the boot order
[20:42] <LSEactuary> its a CD first. btw should that CD have an ISO file only? i think this CD has 2 folders! :(
[20:42] <Phineas> what does url stand for?
[20:43] <jacobw> uniform resource locator
[20:44] <Phineas> thats something I've just lernt
[20:46] <LSEactuary> im deleting stuff off my USB but there never seems to be enough space. this is stupid. how do i fix this?
[20:46] <LSEactuary> its a 500MB folder but theres at least 1GB free on the USB
[20:47] <niall> LSEactuary, double check that the folder is in fact 500MB. Run a filesystem check on the USB device.
[20:47] <LSEactuary> how? i right clicked and press propertires - the folder is 585 MB.
[20:48] <Phineas> I worked it out
[20:48] <LSEactuary> btw to run a programme from a CD do you need to burn the ISO or is the folder with the ISO in it enough?
[20:48] <MartijnVdS> LSEactuary: what's the problem you're trying to solve?
[20:48] <DJones> LSEactuary: It depends on the isco & the instructions, if its an UBuntu CD you burn the iso which creates the filesystem
[20:49] <niall> LSEactuary,  Ah okay, well goto System > Administration > Disk Utility and select the USB device and partition you're interested in, then click the button about filesystem checking.
[20:49] <Phineas>  what utility
[20:50] <LSEactuary> i dont get what im looking for
[20:50] <niall> Phineas, K3b, brasero, cdrecord..
[20:50] <LSEactuary> and how do i burn an ISO with gnomebaker - will the computer run it once burnt
[20:51] <niall> LSEactuary, are you by any chance trying to make a bootable USB by copying a folder onto it?
[20:51] <LSEactuary> nope
[20:51] <LSEactuary> 2 different things
[20:51] <LSEactuary> i want to copy my files onto my USB but its not allowing me
[20:51] <LSEactuary> and there is enough space.
[20:51] <niall> Just checking. I like to concentrate on one thing at a time when I don't know what I'm doing ;)
[20:51] <LSEactuary> but not accoring to ubuntu
[20:52] <LSEactuary> lol
[20:52] <niall> What filesystem is on the USB?
[20:52] <Phineas> is my laptops disk drive ment to be loud
[20:52] <jacobw> no
[20:52] <niall> Is it a single FAT32 partition? Two NTFS? Three ext3?
[20:52] <niall> Phineas, it definitely shouldn't be clicking, that's for sure.
[20:53] <Phineas> its just humming loudly
[20:54] <Phineas> when a disk is inserted,
[20:54] <Phineas> is this normal?
[20:56] <LSEactuary> i have no idea - can we do the disc burning stuff first?
[20:56] <Phineas> or do I need to do something
[20:56] <LSEactuary> i have an ISO file in a folder - if i burn the ISO and restart the computer with it in will the computer boot with the CD?
[20:57] <LSEactuary> what happens if i burn the whole folder (the ISO in the folder)
[20:57] <niall> You don't burn a data disk with the ISO file on it.
[20:57] <LSEactuary> a DVD-R
[20:57] <niall> The ISO file is expanded to BE the filesystem on the disc.. it works quite differently.
[20:57]  * Phineas holds the line until someone becomes avalibule
[20:57] <LSEactuary> so what do i do?
[20:57] <LSEactuary> how do i get it on the disc
[20:58] <niall> LSEactuary, Are you using Ubuntu 10.x?
[20:58] <LSEactuary> yes
[20:58] <LSEactuary> gnomebaker right?
[20:58] <LSEactuary> data DVD?
[20:58] <niall> 'Burn Image' option in whatever you're using.. I'm on 10.10 and it comes with Brasero by default.
[20:59] <LSEactuary> can i use brasero?
[20:59] <niall> Yes.
[20:59] <LSEactuary> i have that too - please guide me throguh...
[20:59] <niall> Bottom left button 'Burn existing CD/DVD image to disk'... then go find your image.
[20:59] <Phineas> anyone avalibule yet?
[20:59] <LSEactuary> as in my ISO file?
[21:00] <LSEactuary> and the computer will boot from that CD once its burnt?
[21:00] <DJones> LSEactuary: As I said earlier, it depends on the ISO and its creator, if its an Ubuntu iso, it will be bootable & you just brun the image to disk, if its not, you need to check with the iso's creator/website to see what they say about it
[21:00] <niall> Dead simple. It should autodetect the blank disk and select an appropriate write speed. Tip for you: selecting a slower speed will give a better burn.
[21:00] <LSEactuary> okay ive just put the disc in.... im waiting for something to come up
[21:01] <LSEactuary> how do i know if its a ubuntu iso?
[21:01] <niall> Did you open Brasero and select the Burn image... button?
[21:01] <Phineas> would be you inserted a blank disk
[21:01] <niall> What are you trying to burn anyway?
[21:01] <LSEactuary> im still waiting for something to load...
[21:02] <LSEactuary> a DVD programme
[21:02] <LSEactuary> i started brasero but its just turning off!
[21:02] <niall> So you downloaded some software via bittorrent and you want to burn it to a CD?
[21:02] <LSEactuary> yep
[21:02] <niall> Well of course it won't boot.
[21:03] <LSEactuary> oh
[21:03] <LSEactuary> i was told if i burn it via gnomebaker it will
[21:03] <niall> It's software for playing DVDs or somesuch from INSIDE OF an operating system?
[21:03] <niall> It would help if you could SPECIFY what the software is.
[21:03] <LSEactuary> i ont get what you mean. its a DVd programme that will customise menus and burn DVDS so i can record my home movies
[21:04] <niall> Right.
[21:04] <niall> Software.. an application
[21:04] <LSEactuary> can we have a private chat please/
[21:04] <niall> To be run inside of... whatever operating system it's compatible with (Linux, Windows, Mac OS..)
[21:04] <Phineas> what is the name of the differed?
[21:04] <Phineas> softwere
[21:05] <LSEactuary> niall please PM me
[21:05] <niall> LSEactuary, what is the name of this 'DVD programme'?
[21:05] <LSEactuary> please PM me and ill tell you
[21:05] <Phineas> thats what I said
[21:05] <niall> heh, software piracy is best kept in private..
[21:05] <LSEactuary> lol
[21:06] <MartijnVdS> !piracy
[21:06] <LSEactuary> niall please pM me
[21:06] <niall> MartijnVdS++
[21:06] <LSEactuary> if you decide you dont want to help then thats fine
[21:07] <DJones> LSEactuary: Assuming its an Ubuntu program, just install it from the software repository
[21:07] <LSEactuary> just hear me out
[21:07] <LSEactuary> its not a ubuntu programme - i downloaded it off bitorrent.
[21:07] <Phineas> piracy defrently
[21:07] <DJones> LSEactuary: If its a windows package, ask in ##windows
[21:07] <LSEactuary> ##windos
[21:07] <niall> LSEactuary, You need more help than I can give. I suggest that if you want to learn about ISO images and how to burn them or indeed mount them without burning them, you use Google and Wikipedia to get a grounding in the matter. All the info you need is out there, in baby-step form. Go and make use of that.
[21:08] <DJones> if its a pirate copy, please don't ask in this channel
[21:08] <LSEactuary> oh one sec - ive got bassero open. just tell me what option i should pick
[21:08] <LSEactuary> burn image?
[21:08] <niall> Troll, folks?
[21:08] <LSEactuary> just help me pick an option and ill log off
[21:08] <Phineas> yep troll
[21:08] <LSEactuary> what the heck. im asking for help
[21:09] <niall> LSEactuary, last time... Brasero > bottom left button, burn existing image to disk > click on the file, select burner drive and speed, burn!
[21:09] <Phineas> get rid of the troll
[21:09] <LSEactuary> okay thanks!
[21:09] <Phineas> now go away
[21:09] <LSEactuary> done
[21:16] <LSEactuary> sorry - how long does the ISO take to burn? its saying 'creating image checksum' and its been there for a while
[21:17] <LSEactuary> the organge bar is moving back and forth but i dont think anythings happening
[21:18] <AlanBell> LSEactuary: it can take a long time, a CD is quite big, DVD even bigger
[21:19] <LSEactuary> okay roughly?
[21:19] <AlanBell> please do not ask people to engage in private messages about this
[21:20] <AlanBell> dunno how long it would take, I don't know how much data you are trying to burn
[21:20] <DJones> LSEactuary: We don't know what the iso is, how big it is or what the software is, so we can't answer the question
[21:20] <AlanBell> give it an hour
[21:20] <AlanBell> if you are unwilling to reveal what the content is then we are likely to suspect you are asking for help relating to piracy, which we don't give
[21:21] <DJones> Or ask the software producer how long it will take to burn the downloaded bit torrent iso to dvd?
[21:21] <LSEactuary> its a DVD programme - sonic dvd media
[21:21] <DJones> I'm sure they'll be willing to help
[21:21] <LSEactuary> its about 3.5 gb
[21:22] <LSEactuary> okay ill give it time.
[21:49] <LSEactuary> my ISO file has been burning for a while now  about 1/2 hr. its still saying creating image checksum and the organge bar is moving right and left. is there a way of checking this is working an not just wasting electricity?
[21:50] <Darael> LSEactuary: Install and run htop and see if a suitable-looking process is using CPU time?
[21:50] <Darael> LSEactuary: Or just use top.  I just prefer htop.
[21:50] <LSEactuary> how do install that?
[21:51] <LSEactuary> and how long will it take to burn a 3.5 GB ISO on a DVD R
[21:53] <LSEactuary> oh ive installed it but what am i looking for?
[21:53] <LSEactuary> a bunch of random numbers and works have come up
[21:54] <LSEactuary> .....
[21:55] <LSEactuary> darael....
[21:55] <Darael> LSEactuary: Sorry, got sidelined in #ubuntu.
[21:55] <LSEactuary> no worries
[21:55] <LSEactuary> so what do i look for - ive got it open
[21:56] <Darael> LSEactuary: You want to check the commands that are using lots of CPU time and see if any of them look appropriate - the CD burner in Ubuntu is "brasero"
[21:57] <LSEactuary> /usr/bin/X ;o -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-gaZZi is taking up 7
[21:57] <LSEactuary> xtop is taking up 3
[21:57] <LSEactuary> htop =  2
[21:57] <LSEactuary> basero - 1
[21:57] <LSEactuary> eveything else is 0.2, 0.1 or 0
[21:58] <LSEactuary> actually everything else is 0
[21:58] <Darael> LSEactuary: Right.  In the s column, what letter does Brasero have?
[21:58] <LSEactuary> S
[21:59] <Darael> Right, sounds like it's not doing anything, then.
[21:59] <LSEactuary> the only R is htop
[21:59] <LSEactuary> okay can i fix it?
[21:59] <Darael> That I can't help you with, sorry.
[21:59] <LSEactuary> okay do you know how i can burn an ISO onto a DVD-R then?
[22:00] <LSEactuary> ?
[22:01] <moreati> LSEactuary: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto#Ubuntu
[22:01] <LSEactuary> umm what programme do i use?
[22:02] <X3N> It says on the instructions linked to above ^
[22:02] <LSEactuary> okay ill try
[22:03] <Darael> LSEactuary: gnomebaker, nautilus-cd-burner or k3b will all do the job, as will burn.  Reading the wiki page is advised, however.
[22:03] <Darael> ...oh.
[22:04] <jacobw> actuary indeed
[22:06] <LSEactuary> okay its creating an image checksum
[22:07] <LSEactuary> starting to record ! woo hoo!
[22:08] <LSEactuary> okay its burning now! thanks sooooooooo much
[22:08] <andylockran> hey guys
[22:08] <andylockran> hmm, internet appears to have bombed out here
