[04:36] <bradm> head_victim: you got one of the ezcap dvb tuners from zazz?
[04:51] <head_victim> bradm: nope, I have a winfast dtv gold
[04:52] <bradm> head_victim: ah, just saw one of your older posts
[04:52] <head_victim> MIght be rebranded?
[04:53] <bradm> its possible
[04:53] <head_victim> Oh you mean the dab one?
[04:53] <bradm> yeah
[04:53] <head_victim> Yeah it was crap, got the winfast and bought an iriver b30 to use for dab
[04:54] <head_victim> http://www.digitalnow.com.au/product_pages/Dabby.html
[04:54] <head_victim> That's what I did have
[04:54] <bradm> ahh, okey
[04:54] <bradm> just found http://www.turnovfree.net/~stybla/linux/v4l-dvb/lv5tdlx/, which was rather useful
[04:56] <head_victim> The winfast one is around 40 bucks a pop and "Just works". There is a modified firmware for it if you don't want the dmesg erros
[05:03] <bradm> not really much point for me having dab at this time anyway, no broadcasts here
[05:04] <head_victim> Yeah I spent 80 on that dab one and then sat it on the bench 2 weeks in. 
[05:04] <head_victim> Bought the other and use it with me-tv
[05:05] <bradm> I'm finally getting play with this one some more, looks like I might have a working module for it now
[05:06] <head_victim> Supposedly the one I had was working under linux for dtv but not dab but I couldn't get either working
[05:06] <head_victim> That was mainly due to the device reporting as an afatech devices when it was really an rtl
[05:07] <head_victim> Which I found out after I'd ordered the winfast so didn't poke too much more into it sorry
[05:08] <bradm> no worries, I'm making progress with this anyway
[05:09] <bradm> awesome, the scanning has found some channels, taking forever
[05:12] <head_victim> Cool I gotta head afk for a while again if you need anything just leave a ping :)
[06:58] <chesty> anyone know why /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory wakes up every so often and causes huge amounts of traffic to syd01s01-in-f104.1e100.net:443?
[07:15] <somethinginteres> anyone know how to get Chat accounts to be set as online on boot? I've got FB chat set up but it's always offline until I explicitly turn it to online using Chat Accounts in the Me Menu
[07:23] <elky> somethinginteres, you have to do that through the empathy application under Applications -> Internet -> Empathy Instant Messaging
[07:23] <elky> 'automatically connect on startup' seems checked by default in it.
[07:27] <somethinginteres> elky: hmm seems to be checked on mine also. Maybe empathy isn't set to start on boot
[07:27] <elky> somethinginteres, possibly. That's System -> Preferences -> Startup applications
[07:28] <somethinginteres> elky: thanks for that
[07:28] <elky> It doesn't appear to be in mine, and mine is a fresh install
[07:29] <somethinginteres> elky: Added it now, and I found a command switch to allow it to launch silently on startup which is exactly what I am after "empathy --start-hidden"
[07:30] <elky> tops
[09:35] <lano> hey all
[09:36] <lano> can someone help me out with this please mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
[09:51] <chesty> lano: big big guess, but is portmap installed both ends? I found installing portmap and nfs server on one end it all that's needed
[12:10] <esc_phr34k> clear
[12:13] <chesty> esc_phr34k: did you see my reply earlier tonight?
[12:27] <esc_phr34k> chesty,  i have just now thanks. well see i have a qnap server so i cant really install portmap on it. how ever portmap is running on my ubuntu
[12:27] <esc_phr34k> i have narrowed it down to statd that doesnt start on boot
[12:27] <esc_phr34k> and soon as i start that all works well
[12:28] <esc_phr34k> i just cant seem to figure it out why my statd want start even thos chkconfig says its turned on to start on boot
[12:29] <chesty> chkconfig, hey
[12:31] <esc_phr34k> yes why
[12:34] <chesty> didn't realise ubuntu had it, does it handle upstart?
[12:34] <esc_phr34k> u cant install it 
[12:34] <esc_phr34k> it does not come with it by default
[12:35] <esc_phr34k> i have not used upstart but chkconfig is almost the same it handels the start and stop of the services
[12:36] <esc_phr34k> i have tried bum as well but same thing i am not sure why it want start on boot but when u run it manual all works fine
[12:37] <chesty> what version of ubuntu?
[12:37] <esc_phr34k> 10.10
[12:37] <chesty> then you're using upstart
[12:38] <esc_phr34k> i am not familiar with it 
[12:39] <chesty> me neither
[12:40] <esc_phr34k> so u have any other clue to my problem
[12:40] <chesty>  /etc/init.d is being phased out, so if statd is handled the new way, chkconfig might not handle it
[12:40] <esc_phr34k> her so what is the best way to check then
[12:42] <chesty>  /etc/init/statd.conf
[12:43] <chesty> if i'm reading that file right, it starts when portmap starts
[12:45] <esc_phr34k> i have noticed that as well but portmap starts fine
[12:45] <esc_phr34k> even when i check the status of it it says it runing
[12:47] <chesty> ps aux | grep portmap ?
[12:48] <esc_phr34k> root@babylon:/etc/init.d# ps aux |grep portmap
[12:48] <esc_phr34k> daemon     853  0.0  0.0   1960   540 ?        Ss   20:53   0:00 portmap
[12:48] <esc_phr34k> root      5431  0.0  0.0   4012   764 pts/0    S+   23:48   0:00 grep --color=auto portmap
[12:50] <chesty> double check /etc/default/nfs-common that statd isn't turned off, but it's not by default, so that's probably not the problem
[12:52] <esc_phr34k> u are right it looks like by default it is switched off
[12:52] <esc_phr34k> man i was even there before and didnt see the statd option
[12:53] <esc_phr34k> feel like an idiot now
[12:53] <chesty> hey? if it doesn't say "no" exactly, then it's yes
[12:53] <chesty> even empty is yes
[12:53] <esc_phr34k> ah okay
[12:53] <esc_phr34k> well it didnt have anything next to it
[12:54] <chesty> same here
[12:54] <chesty> ps aux | grep statd ; stop portmap ; ps aux | grep statd ; start portmap ; ps aux | grep statd
[12:55] <esc_phr34k> statd     2215  0.0  0.0   2096   828 ?        Ss   20:56   0:00 rpc.statd -L
[12:55] <esc_phr34k> root      5598  0.0  0.0   4008   764 pts/0    S+   23:55   0:00 grep --color=auto statd
[12:55] <esc_phr34k> portmap stop/waiting
[12:55] <esc_phr34k> root      5606  0.0  0.0   4008   764 pts/0    S+   23:55   0:00 grep --color=auto statd
[12:55] <esc_phr34k> portmap start/running, process 5609
[12:55] <esc_phr34k> root      5620  0.0  0.0   4008   768 pts/0    S+   23:55   0:00 grep --color=auto statd
[12:55] <chesty> could you just double check statd isn't running atm
[12:56] <chesty> status statd is the new upstart way
[12:57] <esc_phr34k> thanks i was just trying to figure it out 
[12:57] <esc_phr34k> root@babylon:/# status statd
[12:57] <esc_phr34k> statd start/running, process 5625
[12:58] <chesty> I have no idea, if portmap is set to run on boot, then everything should be fine
[12:58] <esc_phr34k> how can i check that to be 100$
[12:58] <esc_phr34k> 100%
[12:58] <esc_phr34k> that portmap is started on boot
[12:58] <esc_phr34k> i mean chkconfig says it is
[12:58] <chesty>  /etc/init/portmap.conf
[12:59] <chesty> yeah, I'm not sure chkconfig would work for portmap
[12:59] <chesty> ifconfig lo ?
[12:59] <chesty> that's configured, right?
[12:59] <esc_phr34k> but /etc/init/portmap.conf is a file how do u check wit that
[13:00] <esc_phr34k> well i am getting static ip from my router
[13:00] <chesty> read it, it's new to me too, but it's basically understandable. the "start on" line would be my guess
[13:00] <chesty> but you have an interface called lo too, right?
[13:00] <chesty> you should
[13:01] <esc_phr34k> so in ubuntu 10 there is no simply way like chkconfig to check if it starts on boot
[13:01] <esc_phr34k> yeah i do
[13:01] <chesty> i know as much upstart as you do
[13:02] <esc_phr34k> aha okay
[13:02] <chesty>  /etc/default/portmap exists?
[13:02] <esc_phr34k> yep
[13:05] <chesty> maybe check the boot logs?
[13:05] <esc_phr34k> i have nothing that i can see  but i will check again
[13:05] <esc_phr34k> went through dmesg etc and 
[13:07] <chesty> i don't think boot jobs are logged in dmesg
[13:07] <esc_phr34k> i have check then var/log
[13:07] <esc_phr34k> as well
[13:11] <chesty> grep "init: statd" /var/log/syslog (assuming you've rebooted recently)
[13:13] <esc_phr34k> it just says teminated with status 1 that is what i was googling all night basicly
[13:13] <esc_phr34k> but dunno what it means
[13:13] <chesty> yeah, that means it didn't start. there is a bug open for it
[13:13] <chesty> try stop statd; start statd
[13:13] <chesty> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/484209
[13:15] <esc_phr34k> thanks mate
[13:15] <esc_phr34k> will give it a try
[13:15] <chesty> from reading that bug, it's only fixed in lucid
[13:16] <chesty> but if you edit /etc/init/statd.conf
[13:16] <chesty> change status portmap | grep -q start/running to status portmap | grep -q start/
[13:17] <chesty> it might fix it
[13:17] <esc_phr34k> thanks champ will give it a go
[13:17] <esc_phr34k> much appreciate ur time
[13:17] <chesty> no worries, night
[13:17] <esc_phr34k> night
[23:42] <head_victim> elky: I don't know a lot about printing stuffs, that poster you created, what sort of size could I get the printed to do you think? A2? Or is that something that depends on how good the printer is?
