[08:32] jpds: fair enough, I'm making a CD for the car of random funnies [08:33] along with some classics [08:33] Rock You Like a Hurricane (for e.g.) [08:36] urgh, not fair - my kenny rogers stuff seems to be corrupted and I have no idea where the CD went for it >_< [08:36] must on my CD shelf somewhere... [08:53] hello all [08:57] Morning peeps [09:14] morning [09:14] argh, I knew there was a reason I didn't use media player to make playlists :/ [09:20] morning folks [09:23] directhex, morning, I was just wondering.. should I use badgerports.org for Maverick, or is there a better place to get updated mono packages?

[09:34] ie for login to my server and github [09:36] i dont see why not .... [09:38] dogmatic69 : i have my key on about 8 servers.... [09:38] Neoti: cool, even if someone has access to the pub key it will still be ok? [09:39] that's the point of a "public" key [09:39] correct [09:39] cool, just making sure [09:39] thanks :) [09:39] you stick your key all over the place so you can connect to things securely ... just dont publish the privvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvatekey ...

[10:22] diplo: Not sure yet, something I'll have to look at [10:25] diplo: Doesn't look like it, the update is a windows setup.exe [10:28] Dell site used to do those as default, but if you delved deeper you could find a cli update [10:29] This one is an Acer Aspire, I've had a look, but doesn't seem to be much I can find that seems hopefull [10:30] I wonder whether it'd run under wine :) [10:30] Does anyone use the Alwayson group for broadband or VPNs ? [10:34] heh, I just looked on there site, one bios update for a model is to 'Fix keyboard issues with linux' but with a windows installer and dos installer.. nothing linux update able in there :D [10:37] can anyone recomend a decent place to buy a new pc? [10:38] diplo: I'm considering trying a windows xp live usb to see if that would work [10:39] dogmatic69: Have a look at nakedcomputer.org Might give you some suggestions of os free machines if thats what you're looking for [10:40] ye, or a place that sells components but will ship built (for work, and they want that :/) [10:42] TheOpenSourcerer: thakns [10:42] *thanks even [10:42] np czajkowski [10:43] czajkowski: morning, you feeling better? [10:48] good bit thanks [10:49] czajkowski: no worrues :) [10:59] omg found custard creams, monday has been rescued! [10:59] :) [10:59] gord: you are amusing [11:02] gord: sorry choc bourbons are better [11:03] ha, hahahahaha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. no [11:03] custard creams all the way!!!! [11:03] gord: meh! [11:03] christ my hamstrings are sore this morning [11:03] morning all [11:03] MooDoo: ,1 for choc bourbons [11:03] +1 even [11:04] MooDoo: I got a bunch of aq's in the biscuit barrel [11:04] my fave and choc moo cow biscuits [11:05] morning [11:06] * TheOpenSourcerer curses all this talk of biscuits and legs it to make a coffee and grab some Digestives. [11:06] has no comp comp [11:07] * Neoti1 see TheopenSourcerer go for a coffee and gets one him self... [11:08] Anyone know of a good tool to remove lots and lots of duplicate CSS lines ? [11:08] diplo: vi [11:09] yeah but that means defining each line that's wrong [11:09] Can do that with netbeans [11:09] (CTRL+A DEL) LOL... he he [11:09] Or can I get it to see if there is an exact duplicate to delete any lines following ? [11:10] I've debated that Neoti1 if it wasn't so big i would start again [11:10] sorry diplo.... had to say it ... [11:12] * TheOpenSourcerer returns armed with coffee, a digestive AND a shortbread finger too :-D [11:12] Hmm having to install vim :/ [11:12] Want to go back to ubuntu on my lappy but I can't resolve the fans spinning all the time [11:13] diplo: are you running Ubuntu one ? [11:15] On windows yeah, and actually on ubuntu box as well yeah [11:16] I think the issue is that linux doesn't detect the fan properly [11:16] Keep meaning to maybe try askubuntu, asked here a few times with out a reply yet. [11:19] diplo: I just found from times my fans used to spin crazy when I was synin my U1 [11:22] okay, will give it a try under u1, was defo an issue with Windows as U1 was running at 25%+ when running with sync turned on [11:22] Didn't even think about it on ubuntu [11:25] popey: checked the map recently? (near spawn area) [11:26] ooer [11:26] can the multiplayer maps be played in Peaceful if others aren't? [11:26] yes [11:26] you can switch off monsters in smp [11:26] bigcalm: you? [11:26] so I can play the map with you guys in Peaceful even if you're playing it with monsters? [11:27] oh, sorry, misunderstood [11:27] no [11:27] No [11:27] ;] [11:27] boo. [11:27] the server dictates whether there are monsters [11:27] popey: making a hot tap [11:27] how do you get the mob drops without mobs? [11:27] I'll just continue on my single player baby steps map then [11:27] btw, would a #ubuntu-uk-minecraft be a good idea ;] [11:27] or do you have it already :-D [11:27] heh [11:28] Na. Minecraft comes under the heading of kittens === popey changed the topic of #ubuntu-uk to: Welcome to #ubuntu-uk! http://ubuntu-uk.org | This channel is publicly archived: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com | Mailing List: http://tinyurl.com/uukml | Support Guidelines - http://tinyurl.com/uuksupport | Meeting Thursday January 27th 21:00 GMT in #ubuntu-uk-meeting http://tinyurl.com/uukmeet | \o/ Cats (and minecraft) [11:28] :D [11:28] popey: thanks for the distraction tho, there's been a lot going on lately and minecraft is a good distraction from overly active brain [11:28] We wouldn't want to be off topic [11:28] :) its fun [11:29] Much fun [11:29] Myrtti: you're welcome to jump on the server any time, it's pretty much always up [11:29] bigcalm: i might generate day _and_ night graphs [11:29] Last night popey and I made a mob grinder from a dungeon mob spawner. Sadly we're only collecting feathers [11:29] popey, want my script? also keeps a history [11:29] * popey modifies the script [11:29] popey: I think that would be useful [11:29] gord: i has one :) [11:30] http://popeydc.dyndns.org/maps/2011/ [11:30] :) [11:30] popey, is it the same one i have? because i copy pasted from somewhere [11:30] no, i wrote mine [11:30] Those maps are going to take up a lot of space [11:30] Going to make an animation from them? [11:31] .... people less lazy than me *shakes fist* [11:33] * czajkowski hugs Myrtti [11:34] I'm trying to work though, which I call a personal feat [11:34] I can do video editing and instructing pidgin usage, but I've got no hope of thinking about anything complex about marketing or learning Qt [11:36] learning Qt isn't easy at the best of times [11:37] Qt Quick is fairly simple though [11:41] I have a box which is 99.7% id, 0.0% wa, but loadavg is 2, why should that be? [11:41] screen-x: Is it HP? [11:41] jpds: no, it's a VM. [11:42] yay http://popeydc.dyndns.org/maps/current_day.png vs http://popeydc.dyndns.org/maps/current_night.png [11:42] loadavg is normally 0.3ish [11:42] bigcalm: yeah, maybe [11:42] but has been high since a reboot this morning, but I haven't been able to work out why. [11:42] popey: you need more upstream bandwidth :) [11:43] MartijnVdS: :) [11:43] alan@hactar:~/bin$ du -hs /var/www/maps/ [11:43] 1.6G /var/www/maps/ [11:43] ls [11:43] bah [11:44] MartijnVdS: popey howdy [11:44] jpds: why the HP comment? [11:45] you do know what load means though? it probably is waiting for the hard drive [11:46] Myrtti: but in that case you'd expect a large value for io wait. [11:46] screen-x: bug #574910 [11:46] Launchpad bug 574910 in Pantheon "High load averages on Lucid while idling" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/574910 [11:54] does gwibber have issues with twitter ? [11:55] lazarus_: from time to time depending on what verion you are running [11:55] it may get a bit slow in updating [11:55] lazarus_: killing it and restarting tends to fix it tbh [11:56] ok [11:56] lazarus_: Which version of ubuntu are you using, I've found 10.10 is quite stable, very rarely a problem, but earlier versions were unstable [11:57] DJones: 10.10 [11:58] bigcalm: might pop on the server later and go for a very very long wander :) [11:59] * DaveMorris is confused with su. Written a small backup script which I want to run as my user, by dumping it in cron.daily. I switch to root (sudo su) to test it, and run it but it asks for my password before doing the su command. The su command is su dave -c "/etc/cron.daily/daily-backup.sh" however if I do su dave -c "whoami" it works fine [11:59] popey: take food! [11:59] And a boat [12:01] grrr [12:01] stupid mistake, which you always find after posting :) [12:01] * gord designs bot to constantly walk forward on popey's minecraft server, eating up all his hard-drive space [12:02] DaveMorris: sudo -u username yourcommandhere [12:02] Laney: yeah I was doing that correctly [12:03] the script I was then calling, didn't contain what I thought it did [12:03] it was trying to do a su as well [12:03] ew [12:03] popey: got to the other chest. Loaf of bred, 2 red stone, 3 iron, bucket, saddle and 3 string [12:04] don't su in scripts :) [12:04] best to run the script as that user in /etc/cron/crontab IMHO [12:05] sorry, make that "/etc/crontab" :) [12:06] heheh bigcalm :) [12:06] bigcalm: is it still spawning? [12:09] Are there any benefits to installing 64-bit Ubuntu on a machine with max ram of 2Gb? [12:10] popey: yep, I've cleane it up as well [12:10] Anyone know of an on-line place I can get someone to connect to with a Windows Computer so that I can then connect too and get remote control of their PC? [12:10] Much more productive now [12:10] Its not going to be a regular use machine, more for playing & testing [12:12] TheOpenSourcerer: yuuguu [12:12] [Paul Tansom] What have I done? - http://www.linuxlore.co.uk/2011/01/23/what-have-i-done/ [12:12] TheOpenSourcerer: crossloop [12:13] popey: that link of yours is a hit here at work :) [12:13] http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/12254668 ← slightly off-topic, but relevant to your interest. [12:13] hehe [12:13] popey: Thanks. Will look at both of them. [12:14] yuuguu is java based, and cross platform, crossloop is windows only, but might work in wine at your end [12:15] TheOpenSourcerer: dimdim also [12:22] Could be interesting, Sky set to buy a wireless hotspot provider & offer it to broadband customers as a competition to BT's service [12:24] LOL djones Sky use BT for there broadband anyway.... there just a reseller of the BT wholesale stuff... what would be good is if Virgin media did something with wifi .. now that would really challenge BT ..... [12:25] Neoti1: Not always, they're installing their own equipment in some exchanges so apart from using the wires from house to exchange they're not reselling [12:26] when i was with sky, they wern't based on bt [12:27] i work with another high level telecom company and im sure when i looked last they used BT Wholesale for broadband and then just packaged it up as there own with there own router etc.... will have to look again ... [12:27] gord: Same here, sky put their equipment in our exchange and they charge a lot less than the reseller price, something like £10/mth for unlimited instead £18/mth [12:28] Neoti1: It depends which exchange, if they've not put their own equipment into an exchange, then they do resell the bt package, but otherwise its just a sky package [12:29] * Neoti1 stands corrected by DJones :) [12:29] :) [12:29] Djones : what would also be good is if Sky would offer Satalite internet via there sky box... [12:29] I've been on sky for about 3-4 years since they enable our exchange [12:29] that would also be kinda cool [12:30] i doubt they have the bandwidth for a large scale satellite internet system [12:31] especially one that has to share with the tv service [12:31] I'd like them to offer internet access via the sky receiver [12:31] iplayer etc [12:31] well would be kinda good .... VM have TV and Internet on one line... sky could offer internet and TV over the air waves etc. [12:32] yeah but like i said, bandwidth is limited [12:32] Yeah... suppose your rite there [12:32] satellite tech is really only good for broadcasting, when you want the same signal to go out to looots of places, its not really suited for the internet [12:32] I'd be tempted to move to VM, but they won't cable our road, even though houses within 100 yards do get cable [12:33] VM won't cable our *town*, i hate them :( [12:34] is it a private road? [12:34] i love VM ... i have 50MB... soon to be 100MB when i get the trial.... [12:34] Nope, right at the entrance to a housing estate, some of which seems to have cable [12:35] * DJones considers sueing VM for distcrimination because of where I live :) [12:35] * Neoti1 Hates DJones consideration to sue!!!! [12:36] LOL [12:36] Djones, im sure they will cable the road soon .... [12:37] DJones: did you think that the council wouldn't give permission to dig it up, or that the estate didn't exist when the cable was laid? [12:37] or if you all get together and start a group thing to get VM to cable the street that will work [12:37] Neoti1: I doubt it, I've asked them a few times over the last 5 years, its always "They have no plans in that area" [12:38] * Neoti1 VM get your finger out and cable more streets!!!!!! [12:38] davmor2: Its possible, but you'd think the VM sales people that come round knocking at the door about once a year would know that the area wasn't cabled before trying to sell me a tv & broadband package [12:40] DJones: Not if the council say no. VM's hands are tied in those instances as they have no grounds to countermand the councils say so, if you find that is the case you can approach your council as a tax payer but vm can't it's daft [12:41] http://twitpic.com/3sza02 NYOMMY!!! [12:42] Had porridge. That was yum [12:43] davmor2: I think its probably a case that they extended the cabling into the estate as it was being finished, but because some of the houses right at the entrance to it were show houses, they didn't quite get there because the developer didn't want the show houses looking a mess/difficult to get to [12:43] DJones: sounds about right [12:46] DJones: over here it's the home builders responsibility to contact cable/electric/bt etc to inform them that the properties are ready for connection, if the same rule applies down there then maybe the builders didn't want cable streaks in their paths [12:48] That'd make sense [12:50] i personally dont move to a place/area that does not have cable... i Hate BT's BB services..... [12:51] Neoti1: there isn't all that much of the UK covered by cable :( [12:52] also, VFast is interesting [12:52] * Azelphur isn't in a coverage area for that either [12:52] * Neoti1 Looks at Vfast with interest [12:53] they do 10mbit (soon 100mbit) WiMax [12:53] but you have to be line of site to their antenna [12:55] or have a friend between the antenna that can re-broadcast the signal for you ... LOL....
