danfishhah - that could be done I suppose10:00
screen-x#ukflu :)10:00
DJonesHeh10:01
screen-xheh, you have to say #ukflu and @ the person you got it from ;-)10:02
DJonesmaybe it should be #uk-a-choo :)10:04
danfishso screen-x and DJones - you'll have that written and working by this evening then ;)10:05
DJonesdanfish: I'm just the idea's man, screen-x will have to do the hard work10:05
danfish:D10:06
screen-xI have a really old installation that I'd like to virtualise, but I'm having problem running the kernel in KVM (its 2.6.5). What happens If I dump a new kernel in an old installation? Do libc (or anything else) versions have to match the kernel?10:06
* DJones gets out of doing any further work as quick as he can10:06
screen-xDJones: I'd love to have time for projects like that..10:06

Myrttidun dun duuuuunnn...10:41
MartijnVdSnetstat -l10:41
winterweaverDJones, I shoulda tried google first yes -_-10:42
MartijnVdSnetstat -lp gives program names as well10:42
waveformnetstat -tupln will tell you what programs are listening on TCP and UDP ports (if run as root)10:42

winterweaverok so I tried: netstat atup | grep ":80"    but I have nothing running on that port. Yet, when I try to start a service on that port I'm told I dont have permission :(10:52
popeythats because you dont :)10:52
waveformyou won't have permission unless you're root (ports < 1024 are privileged)10:52
popeyports below 1024 are protected and should be started by root10:52
MartijnVdSs/should/can only be/10:52
MartijnVdS(well, unless you use capabilities)10:53
winterweaverah! ok thanks !10:53
screen-xwinterweaver: you need -n when grepping the output of netstat for port numbers10:53

popeyinterestingly I was on holiday with wifey a few years ago, and at the bar said something like " I'd like some plonk, some red wine"11:02
popeyhe gave me the wine menu, which we ordered from, then he brought over some champagne11:02
popeyI said "uh?" he said "you said champagne, plonk?"11:02
popeyhe got quite annoyed when i told him plonk means wine where I come from11:03
kvarleyhehe11:03
screen-xI thought ponk ~= cheap wine?11:03

screen-xI had to say that out loud to work out what it was..11:11

davmor2http://vimeo.com/18732878 good point well made, lost boys is made up of one word.....11:12
Myrttiwow, I've found a modern rarity11:19
Myrttia kettle without auto-off switch, base station and covered heat element11:19
Oli``Odd, off-topic question: I've just seen a doobie on BBC "News" about getting an electric car from London to Edinburgh and it needing several charges on the way... Anybody know how much it costs to charge an electric car?11:23
screen-xOli``: depeds how much you pay for a kwh11:23
davmor2Myrtti: it sits on a cooker right?11:23
dogmatic69oly: ive seen something like 50p on some of them11:24
Oli``screen-x: I mean at a public charge point... I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that it's a standard rate whichever you use11:24
dogmatic69but taking into account the price of batteries and the time they last, works out to about the same as petrol11:24
screen-xOli``: public charge points exist already?11:24
dogmatic69ye11:24
Oli``screen-x: yeah11:24
dogmatic69not many11:25
dogmatic69same as hydo filling stations11:25
Oli``screen-x: mostly in london from what I gather... but enough to get you around the country if you're willing to take a few dozen detours11:25
davmor2Oli``: the man to ask is moreati when he gets online he can give you all the specs you require11:25
Oli``http://imgur.com/ebNkR.png11:30
Oli``Do you suppose Webroot Internet Security Essentials runs on Linpus?11:30
directhexOli``, box shifters always do this when they have linux boxes11:36
daubersWhats the server monitoring thing called again?11:46
davmor2guys don't upgrade natty this morning11:47
screen-xdaubers: which server monitoring thing?11:48
dogmatic69davmor2: whats wrong with it?11:49
davmor2dogmatic69: there is an unbuilt module for compiz that unity depends on so no unity11:50
screen-xkernel compile finished, vmlinux is 123MB, kernels used to fit on floppies!11:54
daubersscreen-x: I think I need cacti or puppet11:54
screen-xdaubers: puppet is more configuration  management rather than monitoring11:55
daubersso probably cacti11:55
screen-xor nagios11:55
daubersNagios! That was the othe rone11:56
daubersta11:56
Myrttimyyh, do I want more cup soup or not...12:01
bigcalmHow long ago was your last one?12:08
diplodaubers, I use nagios a lot, isn't cacti the usage side of it though, reads the RRD logs and graphs them historically ?12:09
screen-xis there an easy way to compile a 32bit kernel on a 64bit box?12:23
Myrtti*yawn*12:27
* screen-x apologises for boring Myrtti12:29
MyrttiI'm just tired12:29
Myrttinot bored12:29
screen-xgood job its Friday then :)12:29
MyrttiI wonder would a nap be a bad idea12:30
davmor2screen-x: don't you just need to set the flags correctly and the compiler do the rest12:30
davmor2Myrtti: you know it would be you'd wake up be crouchy, you wouldn't sleep tonight, and you'd still feel tired12:31
screen-xpower nap \o/12:31
screen-xbut don't let it extend into a sleep12:31
screen-xdavmor2: which flags would they be?12:32
Myrttidavmor2: it's early enough not to ruin night sleep12:32
davmor2screen-x: no idea but is should be documented somewhere out there on t'interweb12:33
screen-xARCH=i386 seems to be doing something :)12:33
davmor2screen-x: yeah but don't you really want i686?12:36
PendulumMyrtti: naps are good :)12:36
screen-xdavmor2: probably, but at this point id be happy if it boots..12:36
davmor2haha12:36
screen-xso the answer to that age old question "what happens if I dump the current stable kernel into a SLES 9 install?"  is that it works :D12:43

nucc1i lost my horizontal scrolling ability on my touchpad since i upgraded to 10.10, anyone got any ideas?14:21
tonytigerAfternoon folks.14:30
bigcalmHowdy tonytiger14:30
tonytigerI was wondering if anyone could recommend UK based hosting firms who supply & support Ubuntu?14:30
tonytigerPreferably with a managed backup service?14:30
tonytigerI already know about Bitfolk :)14:30
bigcalmbytemark?14:30
tonytigerOooh, good call.14:31
* bigcalm hugs bytemark14:31
tonytiger:)14:31
bigcalmJavaScript - what's the difference between the "browser viewport" and "HTML document" when measuring width?14:37
MartijnVdSbigcalm: The document can be wider than the viewport14:37
MartijnVdS(think horizontal scrollbar)14:37
bigcalmDoh14:37
bigcalmThanks :)14:37
nucc1html document is everything enclosed in the html tag14:37
bigcalmI'll be using the view port then14:38
nucc1i just call it window :p14:39
screen-xtonytiger: layershift also supply ubuntu and have a uk hosting option.14:39
ali1234bigcalm: different browsers will give completely different results for both measurements anyway14:49
ali1234you can't really use either reliably14:49
bigcalmUsing jQuerym so hopefully it might be more acurate14:50
ali1234perhaps14:50
AlanBellanyone know any UK based hosting that is linux friendly and can supply a really fast core i7 processor?14:50
bigcalmHow about cloud farming instead of one machine?14:51
popeyAlanBell: http://www.racksrv.com/14:51
bigcalmOh, RackSpace will probabbly do so as well14:52
popeybah, out of stick14:53

AlanBellthanks14:56
screen-xI'm looking for a battery in a box that has a micro usb connector, for charging a phone when away from a socket, what would one of those be called?14:59
screen-xlike this, but hopefully with integrated micro usb cable http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des15:00
BigRedSscreen-x: I've seen them called battery boosters...15:08
BigRedSbut I don't know of a generic term for them15:08
BigRedS(also, look at solar chargers, at least a few that I've seen also have usb in)15:08
BigRedSand a battery etc.15:08
screen-xsolar, interesting idea, probably make it to large to carry around though.15:09
screen-xthis looks about right, but need to find a uk supplier http://www.phonesuit.com/products/Primo_Battery_Cube_for_SmartPhones-37-10.html15:09
BigRedSscreen-x: nah, the one's I've seen are solar panels with a wire with a usb mini end, and a battery box with a socket for either end of a usb lead15:10
AlanBellZee B:  by the way how did you hear about rackspace?15:16
AlanBellCustomer:  I asked some folk in the Ubuntu UK communit15:16
bigcalmAlanBell: 2 of our largest clients use RackSpace15:18
bigcalmThey seem to be very customer focused15:18
bigcalmAnd all that business BS15:18
AlanBellyeah, very reputable hosters15:20
AlanBellhetzner are amazing value for money though15:20
diploDidn't used to be that way, a few years ago rackspace got a bad name for itself, seem to have understood it needed to change i suppose15:23
ali1234how can i stop users from changing the ownership on files and also stop them from changing the "other" permissions?15:25
MooDoohello all15:27
davmor2MOODOO!15:30

danfishscreen-x: I've one of these battery boosters http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-POWERSTICK-Portable-Universal-Charger/dp/B000QEKXYS/ref=pd_cp_ce_315:32
danfishnot bad - gives a few more hours with a high capacity rechargeable aa15:32
AlanBelldiplo: yeah, can't say I like their approach too much, and they certainly used to have a bit of a bad rep from some types of customers15:33
BigRedSAnyone know of any real-life shops that're likely to have a Lenovo x100 for me to have a fiddle with? I think I want one, but I wanna test the keyboard first.15:33
BigRedSOr, does anyone have one and an opinion on how it compares with IBM thinkpad keyboards of old?15:34
davmor2MooDoo: nice15:35
X3NBigRedS: the thinkpads haven't changed design in years and years, i'd say it would be a good bet that they're similar15:50
jacobwi've used a lenovo t400, the  keyboard on that is very good15:51
daubersHow do I add a mib file for nagios to use?15:52
X3Ni've got a X201, T400 and X60 all have good keyboards15:54
* AlanBell tickles Daviey 15:58
BigRedSX3N: nah, there's a new keyboard for them. discrete keys, sort of macbook-alike16:00
X3Nare you sure, on an X100 ?16:01
X3Noh yes, so they are16:02
BigRedSX3N: yeah, i've heard rumours they're going across the TP range16:02
BigRedSI've also hear rumours that they're really rather good, though, I just refuse to believe them without trying one :)16:02

kvarleyHow can I convert a sparseimage file to iso? Or how can I burn the sparseimage?17:17
awilkinsI'm being a klutz - how do I pass the STDOUT of multiple commands sequentially to the same pipe17:33
AlanBell(echo foo ;echo bar)|less17:38
shaunoI'd probably go with bash -c again.  my one-stop-crutch :)  or a named pipe (fifo), but that gets cumbersome17:39
shauno$ bash -c "echo one; echo two; echo three" | xargs17:39
shaunoone two three17:39
shaunobecause what's being piped into xargs is what's coming out bash's STDOUT, rather than echo's17:39
awilkinsAlanBell has solved it well enough :-)17:40

balorCan you get a passively cooled i3?18:51
balornope18:52
balorI *think* I want an Atom with DVI or, ideally, HDMI out.  but they all seem to come with NVidia ION GPUs.  And I like this whole open-source thing...I've been doing it for about 10 years now and I ain't gonna change18:53
AlanBellthey don't run particularly hot, my laptop fan isn't on right now18:53
AlanBellif you are building a desktop I should think you could do a passive i318:54
* MartijnVdS likes his Sony18:55
MartijnVdSit's 13", so not really a netbook18:55
MartijnVdSbut it's quiet, has intel-everything18:55
MartijnVdSetc.18:55
exobuzzmy new i5-2500k albeit with fan, its pretty silent19:04
exobuzzs/its/is19:04
exobuzzthe noisiest part of my machine is the new hd,19:04
balorWhy can't I ever get things I want to buy?  I'm looking for a passively cooled Atom mobo with intel GPU and a PCI (not PCIe) slot.19:10
balorI also wanted a Kobo e-reader19:10
baloror a litl19:10
exobuzzbalor, what size board ?19:10
balorexobuzz: don't care19:10
exobuzzthen why atom ?19:10
balorThe Kobo and litl aren't available in the UK :(19:10
exobuzzwhy not i3/i5/etc19:10
balorI thought this internet thing was supposed to mean a large free market19:10
balorexobuzz: power consumption and cost.  Atom boards seem cheaper19:11
exobuzzthe new sandy bridge cpu has built in gpu that is decent enough19:11
exobuzzcpus19:11
balorexobuzz: But you can't passively cools an i319:11
exobuzzatom aint that quick though but.. ok.. get a mini itx atom board then with built in gfx.. ?19:12
Azelphurexobuzz: do you know what the deal is with sandy bridge and gaming?19:12
balorI also want DVI/HDMO out :)19:12
Azelphuris it better to get an i7 still for gaming19:12
balors/HDMO/HDMI/19:12
Azelphuror buy sandy bridge and a separate graphics card19:13
MartijnVdSTea people? http://i.imgur.com/VXEsX.jpg19:13
exobuzzAzelphur, depends. im running it now but ive not tried gaming yet.. not really19:13
Azelphurhehe19:13
exobuzzive done a few tests19:13
AzelphurMartijnVdS: xD19:13
exobuzzAzelphur, the gpu feels quick though compared to my last but my last was only x70019:13
AzelphurI just built a big gaming machine, only to have sandy bridge come out19:13
Azelphurwondering if I got gazumped or not :P19:13
exobuzzbalor, you are setting yourslef so many rules/limits, your making the problem here :)19:14
balorexobuzz: You're right.19:14
balorexobuzz: I should just get a *modern* atom and leave the other machine as my MythTV backend19:14
exobuzzrun nvidia with the open source driver ;-)19:14
balordoes that work?19:14
exobuzzfor 2d..19:14
balorhmm...19:14
exobuzzmaybe buggy 3d19:14
AzelphurI hear the open ATI driver is making strides in the 3d area19:15
balorI only need the PCI slot for my mythtv backend for my DVB-S2 card19:15
Azelphuroooh, mythtv?19:15
AzelphurI run a mythbackend off a p4 3ghz with 9600GT19:15
balorSo maybe just get a quiet pc for the living room as a frontend19:15
Azelphurand DVB-S card19:15
exobuzzAzelphur, from my history with the old x700. the open source drivers were always better than the closed. but then the closed hardly worked at all back then19:15
balorAzelphur: Celeron, DVB-S219:15
Azelphur:)19:16
AzelphurI've always wanted to get sky working on mythtv19:16
exobuzzbalor, http://www.scan.co.uk/products/zotac-g41itx-a-e-intel-g41-express-s-775-ddr2-800-sata-3gb-s-mini-itx-on-board-graphics-wifi19:16
Azelphurbut the mythtv people won't talk about it, even if you have an active sub :(19:16
exobuzzpersonally i would prefer an ion one, btu that one has on board intel gfx and dvi etc19:17
exobuzzaah wait. no cpu. heh thought it was atom.19:17
exobuzzmy bad19:17
Azelphuris this for a frontend or backend19:17
balorAzelphur: frontend19:18
AzelphurI see :)19:18
balorexobuzz: Thanks.  I think I'll just get a cheaper Atom.  For the same price I can get a CPU and DVI out (but no HDMI)19:19
exobuzzbalor, maybe this one? doesnt specify which chipset http://www.scan.co.uk/products/zotac-nm10-b-e-intel-atom-d510-%2816ghz%29-ddr2-667-800-sata-3gb-s-raid-mini-dtx-vga19:19
Azelphuryea, the mini itx nvidia ion boards are great for that19:19
exobuzzbalor, k19:19
balorAzelphur: The Celeron box actully works well as the backend19:19
Azelphurthey can do 1080p easy with vdpau19:19
Azelphurand very low power, and look cool under the telly if you get a nice case19:19
Azelphur:)19:19
Azelphurexobuzz: I'd say get one with ion it's better :o19:20
exobuzzAzelphur, me too buy he didnt want closed source drivers ;-)19:20
Azelphurhttp://www.scan.co.uk/products/zotac-ion-synergy-nvidia-ion-intel-atom-n330-cpu-16ghz-ddr2-800-sata-3gb-s-sata-raid-mini-itx19:20
Azelphuruse open drivers then19:20
balorexobuzz: Yes. I was looking at the Zotac NM10-A-E (difference in the A), but it has no PCI slot.  But if I drop that requirement :)19:20
Azelphurwhen they get around to supporting vdpau you'll get a free upgrade19:20
exobuzzAzelphur, performance :)  heh19:20
andylockranhey guys19:20
Azelphurexobuzz: nvidia on open drivers is gonna perform better than intel surely19:20
Azelphurall the work is done by the CPU for video playback anyway19:21
Azelphurunless your doing vdpau19:21
exobuzzAzelphur, im not so sure.. no vdpau with the open source drivers either on nvidia19:21
exobuzzintel has vaapi for some chipsets19:21
Azelphurexobuzz: yea there's no vdpau now on the open driver19:21
balorAzelphur: My experience is that Intel drivers work better than the NVidia ones19:21
Azelphurbut you can bet in the future there will19:21
Azelphur*shrug*19:22
exobuzzwhats a good test of a gfx card under linux ?19:22
balorAzelphur: In the future we get AMD chips with ATI cores and fully free drivers :)19:22
andylockrananyone know any proprietary web application frameworks ?19:22
exobuzzwithout running something through wine19:22
balorexobuzz: Phronix have some test suite19:22
Azelphurbalor: indeed :)19:22
exobuzzbalor, its a whole system though right ? since it wont have the right drivers etc19:23
Azelphurexobuzz: the ati drivers are great if your not using wine19:23
Azelphurthe open source ones19:23
Azelphurthey run some games (I tried hedge wars) and they handle compiz no problem19:23
exobuzzAzelphur, they were ok but compiz was always slow on my last card19:23
AzelphurI had issues with ATI open on wine, though19:23
exobuzzdepends on card i guess19:23
Azelphuryea, it must do19:23
Azelphurfor me compiz was extremely smooth19:23
Azelphurin fact I noticed it being smoother than my PC on nvidia proprietary19:23
exobuzzcompiz is fast here on intel hd graphics 300019:23
Azelphur:)19:23
exobuzzbut i had to recompile it19:23
exobuzzchipset was blacklisted!19:24
Azelphurhehe19:24
exobuzzand thanks to ubuntu for compiling the blacklist in the binary. ugh19:24
Azelphur\o/19:24
andylockranhmm.19:25
andylockrancan I ask again - anyone know of a proprietary web application framework?19:25
exobuzzandylockran, reddot ? stuff like that or ?19:26
exobuzzandylockran, sharepoint ?19:26
andylockranperfect.. thanks19:26
exobuzzibm websphere maybe19:26
exobuzzandylockran, what for btw ? :)19:27
andylockranexobuzz: writing out a business plan for an internal product.19:27
exobuzzwhats wrong with open source ? :)19:28
andylockran99% chance of us releasing it as open source, but have to include proprietary for comparisons.19:28
andylockrananalysis of proprietary business model and SWOT .etc19:28
exobuzzlike "shaft the customer as much as possible" ?19:28
exobuzz:19:29
andylockranexobuzz: yeah, but in a more constructive criticism...19:29
exobuzz:) even.19:29
andylockrani.e. generally proprietary web application systems are used because of the previous relationship with that supplier. In order to continue vendor lock-in, the supplier will recommend their own framework, and migrating out of it will not be economically viable.19:30
exobuzz"look after customers who sign up to our 20 year old product disguised but named enterprise 2010 for life. mwahahaha""19:30
andylockranyeah, kinda like that.19:30
andylockranWebsphere looks just the ticket.19:31
exobuzzexamples ive seen are like drupal.. free. 7000 modules, thousands of devs.. other companies cms, 2 devs part time, £100,000. 10 modules, but has the tag "enterprise"19:31
exobuzzand the council bought into the 2nd one of course19:31
andylockranexobuzz: specific CMS in that case?19:32
exobuzzid rather not say. this channel is logged :)19:32
andylockranexobuzz: can you dm or email me ?19:32
exobuzzil still rather not. i work with them :)19:32
andylockranright, ok.19:32
andylockranI understand.19:32
exobuzzsorry19:33
exobuzzIBM WebSphere Application Server offers new socket pricing .. to flatten the cust burden ..19:33
exobuzzerm19:33
exobuzzper connection pricing ? nice idea19:34
exobuzzill stop waffling now. cheers19:35
exobuzzlm-sensors cant tell me my cpu temp. bah.. am i missing something obvious. if anyone has any tips.19:40
exobuzzmaybe i need the svn/git bleeding edge version19:40
exobuzzmust be a missing kernel option somewhere...19:44
exobuzzdoh. just needed pkgtemp/coretemp modules. but lm-sensors didnt seem to do that automagically.19:49
andylockranexobuzz: yeah, fun times.19:53

JonTheNiceGuy-tvHi all. I don't suppose anyone's got a shoutcast or icecast server going spare that I can borrow for the next two hours for about 10 listeners?21:17
AzelphurJonTheNiceGuy-tv: set one up at home for that?21:18
JonTheNiceGuy-tvIt's a live show of a podcast that's about to go live in about 15 mins21:19
Azelphurbest get to it then :P21:19
Azelphurand in future plan ahead21:19
AzelphurJonTheNiceGuy-tv: you could use ustream.tv21:20
Azelphurit'd be quick n dirty for 10 listeners21:20
Azelphurwould work.21:20
brobostigon:)21:20
JonTheNiceGuy-tvUnfortunately the presenters have tried ustream and they can't route their audio properly to ustream :(21:20
Azelphur:(21:21
Azelphurspeaking of ustream, I found out how to do some cool things.  http://ustream.tv/channel/Azelphur21:22
AzelphurI can stream my desktop live over ustream :D21:22
Azelphurif flash doesn't decide to randomly crash, anyway21:22
gordJonTheNiceGuy-tv, got a mumble server running if you want to use that21:28
JonTheNiceGuy-tvI don't know whether the rest of the audience will have the skills to get mumble clients running, but I can ask the presenter21:29
JonTheNiceGuy-tvI've just realised that they've only got icecast and shoutcast output capabilities right now.21:31
JonTheNiceGuy-tvBut, thanks anyway gord21:31
gordmmkthen21:31
MyrttiI've set up icecast/shoutcast servers before. It wasn't too hard (since I knew how to do it :-D)21:34

JonTheNiceGuy-tvMyrtti, don't suppose you've got a howto knocking around anywhere?21:37
Myrttihad my music collection on my home server, music was handled with mpd and mpd outputted to shoutcast21:37
* brobostigon has incidentally got his n800 onhis desk next to him, :)21:38
Myrttithat way I could change song playing on my N800 with the mpd client on it while in the bath, and didn't have to transfer files21:38
JonTheNiceGuy-tvMyrtti, I'm considering doing the same with my Android21:38

brobostigonworks fine here, i have an ipv6 tunnel.23:16
awilkinsWell, SOMETHING between chair and server23:16
AlanBellwhat do I need to do to get ipv6?23:16
AlanBellwhy would I want a tunnel?23:17
brobostigonAlanBell: to get ipv6 when your isp wont give you an ipv6 addr.23:17
AlanBellI just want native ipv6 from me to where I want to go, not tunneling through some intermediary23:17
brobostigonAlanBell: i want native aswell, but cant have it, right now.23:18
andylockranbrobostigon: yeah, but for www.23:18
brobostigonandylockran: v6.facebook.com works aswell.23:19

andylockranalso, the testipv6 site is being run on the same server that powers one of the mailing lists I'm subscribed too - so he warned us in advance of potential outages23:21

andylockranbrobostigon: if you're ipv6 enabled, the blog will always come up ipv623:21
AlanBellif I install sixxs or teredo isn't all my traffic going to them over ipv4 then to the destination over ipv6?23:21
brobostigonandylockran: oh, thats good, :)23:21
andylockranAlanBell: they give you an ipv6 virtual device23:21
AlanBellso like a proxy server or unencrypted vpn?23:21
brobostigonAlanBell: you need to sign up with sixxs to use aiccu.23:22
andylockranAlanBell: yeah, I guess so23:22
* AlanBell says meh to that then23:22
andylockranAlanBell: who's your ISP ?23:23
