[00:00] i get 55.7 seconds but i only have a GTS 240 [00:01] ali1234: what's the package? It's not pyopencl or python-opengl [00:01] opencl* [00:01] python-pyopencl [00:04] ali1234: 28 seconds [00:04] :D [00:05] hmmmmmm [00:05] that's still not fast enough [00:05] ali1234: when I start it it asks if I want to use "D13U" or "GeForce 8800 GT" [00:05] is it using enough "threads"? [00:05] on D13U which is no doubt the 570, it runs in 28 seconds [00:05] if I try to run it on the 8800GT it errors [00:06] if i ran the C version of the algorithm on all 4 cores it would run about the same speed [00:07] Azelphur: how many cores yours have? [00:07] graphics card? [00:07] nfi [00:07] yeh [00:07] GPUs use SIMD [00:09] so it auto spreads? [00:10] been cheap, I went for the GTS 450 with only 192 cores [00:10] ;) [00:11] it has 192 cores but they all do the same instruction [00:11] same instruction multiple data [00:11] ah [00:11] so eg add together 192 pairs of different number, giving 192 answers [00:12] so is 256 cores twice as good as 128? [00:12] or depends on program? [00:12] if you have larger datasets, yes [00:12] all my arrays are bigger than 256 elements, so it should use the card to the max... [00:12] does yours have large datasets? [00:14] Azelphur: appears yours has upto 512 :D [00:15] ali1234: map/reduce! \o/ [00:15] actually i always do at least 1024 [00:15] neat [00:15] up to 1024*1024 [00:15] maybe it's python overhead [00:16] use C... [00:16] ;) [00:16] i hate writing boilerplate [00:17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Supported_GPUs [00:17] why does the GTX570 support a lower version? [00:18] or is that just wrong [00:18] no idea [00:19] hmm... i have an idea [00:21] 556Gb partition defragmented at last \o/ [00:22] * hamitron has learnt his lesson, never run it with less than 1Gb free space [01:42] hm... commercial ripping app w/ linux port works with all my discs, even the 3d one released 2 weeks ago [02:12] [Jono Bacon] Making Ubuntu More Personal: Identify Contributions To Engage More Personally - http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/01/22/making-ubuntu-more-personal-identify-contributions-to-engage-more-personally/ [06:12] [Matthew Garrett] Open embedded GPUs - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/133472.html [06:38] no idea why I woke up this early. [06:38] even less idea why I decided it would be a good thing to then come into the office [06:49] morning :) [06:49] andylockran: office? on saturday? [06:49] MartijnVdS: yeah :s [06:49] trying to teach my bodyclock a lesson [06:50] andylockran: I do that by going to sleep at 22:00, then making myself not get up before 6 [06:50] yeah, I tried that and failed :s [06:50] Now I've done that, I can go to sleep at any time, and still wake up at 6, without an alarm [06:50] It even works across time zones (once I'm de-jetlagged it works instantly!) [06:51] * MartijnVdS has been living "alarm clockless" for ~7 years now [06:51] MartijnVdS: any nice plans for the weekend? [06:52] andylockran: going for a run in a few hours [06:52] that's my plan also :) [06:52] then bring some large trash^Wstuff to the recycling place [06:53] I'm planning 10-15km (6-9.5mi) [06:53] I'm only going to do 6km [06:53] not been out for a while [06:53] I want to run the local 20km early March [06:53] so I need the practice :) [06:54] (and when I'm done, I can say I ran 20 km at 10 kph while being 30 years old :) [06:54] MartijnVdS: I know the feeling. Not ran much before, did a 10k last year in 53.54 and was so chuffed [06:55] hoping to get a sub-50 time in the spring [06:55] andylockran: Yeah last year I couldn't run more than 5 minutes [07:00] got some interesting projects on at the moment.

[07:14] the card? nah, €100ish [07:15] cool [07:15] the dish was more expensive (but I use that for the box connected to my TV as well) [07:15] unfortunatly i still have windows installed for gaming [07:15] I have a separate machine (and a PS3) for that [07:16] Also use it to update my Logitech remote (no Linux software, boo!)

[08:30] Just sayin' [08:30] hah [08:31] ohh a popey [08:31] ello [08:31] czajkowski: is soliders a typo or an Irish thing? [08:31] morning btw [08:31] just warmed up some chocolate croissants for the kids [08:32] i may have a sausage sarnie [08:32] danfish: wut! [08:32] danfish: eh [08:32] soldiers is toast sliced to you can dip it in a boiled egg [08:32] you are kidding [08:32] every child knows this! [08:32] popey: :D [08:32] :) [08:32] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2104/1557814947_1a649347e3.jpg [08:33] yup! lovely yummy runny egg! [08:33] popey: :) [08:35] ooohh - 6 sleeps until our first child free weekend \o/ [08:35] heh [08:36] danfish: I take it this is a good thing? [08:36] I love em, but could do with a weekend off [08:36] danfish: how many do you have ? [08:36] BAH! [08:36] i kicked off a 35 hour job at 18:30 last night [08:37] some dope rebooted the box I was running it on [08:37] :( [08:38] so is grumpy going to deal with dopey ? [08:38] czajkowski: 2 boys, a 20mnth old and a 4 yr old [08:38] awww nice :) [08:38] popey: that's some job, what was it? [08:40] oracle cost based optimizer [08:40] even the name of it doesn't sound friendly [08:40] heheh [08:40] granted it has the word oracle in it, which alone makes it that way [08:40] true [08:41] its a very intensive job, especially given it's chugging through 8TB of data [08:41] od I feel more human today, have a ton of energy [08:41] great! [08:41] so why did the twat go and reboot the machine? [08:41] and optimizer is spelt with a 'z' ;) [08:42] which makes it even wrongerer [08:42] http://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=oracle+cost+based [08:42] oh, sadly it is [08:43] dear rain go away, I need to go get some fresh air [08:43] czajkowski: they were re-cabling the datacentre [08:43] * danfish orders a batch order of "Cost Based Oracle Fundamentals" to dish out as sleep aids to insomniacs :P [08:43] and we gave them a very specific list of boxes to do, mine was absolutely not on the list [08:43] seems like they yanked it anyway [08:44] bugger [08:44] danfish: I can also recommend any networks college book. Puts you straight out [08:44] hey ho [08:44] I hated that module in college [08:44] oracle books are incredibly dull [08:44] all database books are IMO [08:44] me cable monkey, me see cable me yanks ;) [08:45] when the DC was put in the servers were moved in from another DC, the company saved money by using the server luggers to do the cabling rather than a cabling company [08:45] which is why now we are re-cabling [08:45] :) [08:46] not much cost saving then [08:46] nope [08:46] and we get all kinds of issues due to the cables being plugged in wrong [08:46] * czajkowski decided to go to Canada last night for a holiday CANNOT_WAIT [08:46] heyho, enough work crap :) [08:46] yay holidays! [08:46] czajkowski: Canada's ace - where you going? [08:47] danfish: Guelp [08:47] danfish: about 13 of my mates are gone to Canada for work in the last 2-3 years [08:47] danfish: it's just outside of Toronto [08:47] we nearly moved to Canada 3 years ago [08:47] we all got out the Google cals last night and found July to be a quiet month :) [08:48] danfish: oh if I didnt get this job back in November, I'd have gone to Canada, was going to work for mate that I'm now visiting minding her kids till I got work [08:48] had all the forms to get the visa [08:48] you'll have fun there, eh? [08:48] admittedly it makes it harder to go to oggcamp if I moved to canada [08:49] true - but it's a very tempting place to work. [08:49] danfish: yup :D a week of sun, no nerds (as much as I love ye lot) and catching up with my 2 best mates [08:49] we'll track you down :D [08:49] danfish: yup, salaries are damn high, mate moved over, she's a single mum with 3 kids. The kids adore it, the eldest was struggling in school back home, and is now caught up and in the top 5% of her class [08:50] the twins now there 2 years have such cute accents. [08:51] do they say 'aboot'? [08:51] popey: the twins do, the 10 year old nope [08:51] you're not proper canadian until you do [08:52] hard to believe they will be 5 next month, considering when they were born they nearly didn't live 4lbs and 3lbs :( then home and stopped breathing as they had sleep apnea [08:53] erk [08:53] one of out friends has a kid with sleep apnea [08:53] and my father in law has it [08:54] it's unpleasant and underfunded here [08:54] aye I think Alannah grew out of it after a litle over a year Cillian took him till he was 2 to stop. Tc had to resuscitate Cillian when he was a month old. Good thing she teaches that kinda thing [08:54] danfish: aye so true [08:54] and frigging scarey. cots had alarms fitted so we all knew what to do when they went off ---- RUN!

[08:58] popeydc.dyndns.org [08:58] http://popeydc.dyndns.org/ <- graphical map :) [08:59] thanks :) [09:02] czajkowski: next time your in central London, there's a Canadican pub in Covent Garden - the Maple Leaf [09:04] hmmz, that's the 10th time this week I've heard minecraft... what is it exactly? [09:04] and why haven't I heard about it before this week? [09:05] HazRPG: it's been classified as a class A drug - be warned :) [09:05] xD [09:05] like World of Warcraft then? [09:06] i hate scrabble [09:06] I haven't actually played it yet as I'm still in therapy for my Angry Birds addiction [09:09] guessing minecraft is a paid for game right? [09:09] according to minecraft.net at least [09:14] Morning [09:15] lo daubers [09:17] \o daubers [09:18] * daubers notes he has 250 updates waiting and can't land them because some dependancies of libre office aren't there yet :( [09:26] Anyonne know if there's a quickly template set for working with Qt instead of GTK? [09:27] hmm, I'm stuck at "Planting..." on http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp <-- that site [09:27] why don't you just do a safe-upgrade? [09:27] or let the aptitude resolver pick a solution that works [09:28] Laney: because the resolver wants to remove Unity :( [09:28] at like 75% [09:28] keep saying no [09:28] until it gets to one which doesnt [10:19] hi everyone... wonder if anyone can help, have a laptop that will no longer boot into x after I set the auto logon checkbox for a user. u can get to a command line, all I need to know is where that checkbox info is stored in a config file [10:19] so I can undo it [10:20] its a 10.10 install [10:26] AndIrc__: /etc/gdm/custom.conf [10:26] andirc__: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom according to a search [10:27] heh ok [10:30] I don't have either of those files in that location [10:35] hmm [10:36] I can only suggest grepping for the configuration settings, e.g. AutomaticLogin [10:37] ok will give that a go.... thanks === HazRPG1 is now known as HazRPG [11:10] hi all. i got very little knowledge with ubuntu as ive been on the dark side for many years so still a learning curve for me, on ubuntu, do i need any kind of anti-virus and if so, where do i get it and is it easy to set up? [11:11] morning, my new 10.10 install seemed fine last night, but now things crash immediately after login! I can get to tty [11:12] Morning everyone :) [11:12] jonsaint: Depends. In general, no you don't, but if you've got Windows machines on your network and you're sharing files with them, it's best to install something like ClamAV and do a regular scan. [11:12] * cps is on a train to preston [11:12] what's the best way to verify my disks? [11:13] This is, however, to stop Windows getting infected, not Ubuntu [11:13] i got nothing networked marx. its just this machine and the internet [11:13] Not running a mailserver/webserver or anything on it? [11:14] mash909: fsck? [11:14] nope. i did a format of my hard drive to wipe off that nasty microsoft rubbsh and installed ubuntu [11:14] cool, you should be safe then [11:15] although you should still take the usual precautions of connecting to the net, firewall etc ;-) [11:15] is it right in me saying that viruses for microsoft stuff cant infect an ubuntu machine? or am i wrong? [11:15] yes [11:16] I suppose they could potentially execute under WINE, but that's unlikely to do much damange [11:16] so ubuntu is a really good system then? [11:16] yes :-) [11:16] will try fsck (digging out a rescue disk) [11:16] sorry for all these mad questions, im new to all this [11:16] no that's cool, glad to help [11:17] thanks again. chat soon. [11:17] dont be lulled in to thinking Ubuntu is invincible though [11:17] i wont [11:17] :) [11:17] il still be just as careful! [11:18] My Maverick TShirt has arrived [11:18] just in time for the natty release party [11:18] haha [11:18] aah mr bell. how did the crossing go?? not too rough i hope [11:20] * cps noms on some softmints [11:20] virgin trains \o/ [11:24] crossing was very smooth [11:25] Ooh, apparently IANA distributed its final IPv4 space [11:25] http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/f6ohj/ipv4_address_space_is_depleted_iana_is_working_on/ [11:29] o_O [11:29] w [11:29] oosp [11:29] oops* [11:30] will need to let my stepdad know [11:30] he says he's not ready to get an ipv6 tunnel though [11:32] * MartijnVdS has native V6 on his DSL [11:37] BT doesn't do IPv6 :| [11:37] which is why I suggested to my stepdad to have an IPv6 tunnel [11:42] how does an ipv6 tunnel actually help? [11:45] packing up now, preston's the next stop [11:45] o/ [12:17] AlanBell: you'll be able to access ipv6-only hosts :) [12:21] * HazRPG stares at box that arrived in the post today [12:21] Woot! My first ever graze xD [12:32] hi, wonder if someone can help me with a nautilus problem [12:32] for a while now when ever i use a ssh bookmark nautilus freezes [12:32] maybe it's trying to ask for a password? [12:32] i can connect fine from terminal [12:32] its only nautilus freezing [12:33] you would think, but if it is there is no password box [12:33] i tried removing the known_hosts file so the keys where all reset [12:33] just to rule that out [12:33] if it was just the password box it should not freeze nautilus completely [12:34] as in i have to kill it to be able to continue using it [12:34] found some stuff on the net seems other have had the problem [12:34] but no solution that works :/ [12:35] oly: are there any errors/messages in ~/.xsession-errors about it? [12:35] not sure if this is good advise, but you could try running "sudo nautilus" and rule out the whole password thing [12:35] HazRPG: no! [12:35] HazRPG: he's having ssh problems, not root problems :) [12:38] nope i just did a tail on that file and nothing new is added [12:38] what happens if you "pkill nautilus && nautilus" (i.e. run it in a terminal) [12:38] or just: [12:38] nautilus ssh://some.host/path [12:39] (if something is failing it'll probably be gvfsd though..) [12:39] (try killing that one ... it should respawn as needed) [12:39] gvfs was my guess but that does not help fix it [12:39] trying the nautilus from command line [12:40] though one problem i noticed is nautilus tend to detach from the terminal [12:42] well no errors from terminal and nautilus does not open if i specify the url [12:42] trying to reinstall gvfs but dont expect that to fix it [12:47] fixed it \o/ [12:47] and found a bug i guess [12:48] seems nautilus-bzr is the cause [12:48] going to reinstall just to confirm [13:00] well thats definately the problem reported it as a bug for now [13:00] luckly i normally use bzr from command line anyway [13:01] \o/ [13:02] nice find though [13:03] yeah i am pleased, makes it a bit easyer to drag files to remote locations :p [13:06] I guess I'm too used to the command line for that [13:06] I use it with cifs though [13:06] to drag files to/from my NAS [13:07] greetings [13:08] \o ldl [13:09] Anyone familiar with Calibre? I dropped a pdf file to convert to epub. It took a good 15 minutes to convert. Obviously, depends on the size but is that normal? [13:09] MartijnVdS, hi, was it you who told me about Calibre a few days ago? [13:14] could be [13:14] was concerned as there 's no (reassuring) progress bar; just a whirrling round and round circle, as if stuck, but did eventually finish [13:15] the guy who makes it is very cool & responsive, you could suggest a progress bar feature :) [13:15] I think the podcast people had him on once [13:15] ok [13:15] (though that might have been Outlaws) [13:16] nope, it was uupc [13:39] hi all. i seem to have forgot how to convet then burn a film. im using devede to convert it and using k3b to burn. but thing is when using devede to convert, its converting to an iso file and i cant burn it. anyone got ideas plz?? [13:40] jonsaint: right-click the iso, select the option to burn it to dvd? [13:40] jonsaint: (right-click in the file browser) [13:40] and that will work?? [13:40] why wouldn't it? [13:41] it's a prepared image of a DVD-Video, isn't it? [13:41] "Burn image to disc" will, well.. burn that image to a disc [13:41] just trying it now lol === denny- is now known as denny [13:45] i installed xchat on windows so i can play video games and irc at the same time, it comes with a winamp control plugin... i don't understand why [13:45] popey: ping [13:45] gord: because it's Windows and weird [13:46] we all like to complain about ubuntu from time to time, but logging into windows puts its allllllllllllllll into perspective [13:49] :) === issyl0 is now known as Guest37203 === Guest37203 is now known as issyl0 [13:51] okay, xchat on windows now using the ubuntu font, its almost like i'm home [13:56] gord, wait till your copy expires [13:56] livingdaylight, well you don't use the official build obviously [14:02] woo.. OTA on my Nexus One [14:02] Too bad it's 2.2.2 instead of 2.3.0 [14:02] argh, you got me excited for a few seconds then :( [14:03] gord: well it fixes the "SMS bug" that I've never seen, apparently [14:09] bigcalm: pong [14:09] bigcalm: seen the map?

[14:09] yes [14:10] i might buy them their own copies [14:10] because then we can play together [14:10] and they can have their own skins :) [14:10] yeah! [14:10] popey: what happened to my hut? Looks like an explosion of boxes [14:10]
