| * penguin42 wonders if hamitron always buys his computer stuff in powers of 2 | 00:01 | |
| hamitron | haha, it is a cool price :D | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| hamitron | it is actually £255 plus a bit | 00:01 |
| penguin42 | bah | 00:02 |
| hamitron | ITX mobo, 8gb ram and i3 cpu | 00:02 |
| hamitron | :) | 00:02 |
| hamitron | use it for gaming for now, then use as a sff pc later | 00:03 |
| hamitron | kinda wishI hadn't wasted money on new games, keyboards and a crash symbol now | 00:04 |
| * hamitron blames pophey | 00:06 | |
| Pendulum | hamitron: is that like blaming popey? | 00:08 |
| hamitron | yeh | 00:08 |
| shauno | crash symbol? | 00:09 |
| hamitron | for drum kit | 00:09 |
| shauno | ah | 00:09 |
| shauno | well, atleast postfix's conf looks nothing like sendmail's used to. that's more than a small blessing | 00:10 |
| penguin42 | shauno: sendmails looked bad, but in reality most people never needed to touch the bit that looked like line noise | 00:12 |
| hcfd | Hi guys. I am trying to setup 6 serial ports using setserial on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I had these working previously under Ubuntu 10.10. I have the correct UART, IRQ, port (I/O address) information but setserial gives me an error on /dev/ttyS[4-7], and no matter how I set ttyS3, it isn't working. | 00:14 |
| hcfd | niall@lucifer:~$ setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 15 port 0xec00 | 00:15 |
| hcfd | Cannot set serial info: Operation not permitted | 00:15 |
| hcfd | Oops, wrong paste. I was using sudo setserial... and the error I get is: niall@lucifer:~$ sudo setserial /dev/ttyS4 irq 15 port 0xe400 | 00:16 |
| hcfd | Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument | 00:16 |
| terran | ... getting highlighted on Niall every time | 00:16 |
| hcfd | ? | 00:17 |

| * penguin42 is gently shocked setserial is needed in this day and age | 00:25 | |
| BigRedS | gently shocked? | 00:27 |
| hcfd | penguin42, my card came with its own driver but it doesn't work with recent kernels.. 8250.nr_uarts=nn is needed, and setserial.. | 00:28 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: Well you know, PCI should just work; it's not the days of ISA | 00:29 |
| BigRedS | penguin42: yeah, I was more amused at the concept of being shocked in a gentle way :) | 00:30 |
| s-fox | Good morning :) | 00:30 |
| BigRedS | goood morning! | 00:31 |
| s-fox | How are you ? | 00:31 |
| BigRedS | I'm all good. I have just noticed it's no longer "a bit after ten" though :( | 00:31 |
| BigRedS | you? | 00:32 |
| s-fox | Not so bad, just doing my rounds on the ubuntu forums. | 00:32 |
| s-fox | A little bored to be honest ;) | 00:32 |
| BigRedS | haha. I've noticed I'm crap at writing code to fix other people's problems. I get really bored of it really quickly | 00:33 |
| penguin42 | BigRedS: It's like the parliamentry expense scandal; it's shocking that MPs would run off with our money - but not *really* that surprising to find they did | 00:33 |
| BigRedS | haha. Sort-of wishing you found it shocking? | 00:35 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 00:35 |
| hamitron | it is shocking some still seem to think they did nothing wrong, because it was "within the rules" | 00:36 |
| hamitron | ;) | 00:36 |
| BigRedS | I'm just amused it was such a scandal | 00:36 |
| BigRedS | we all know they're embezzling money and, relatively speaking, really not that much went on expenses | 00:36 |
| jacobw | Yeah, I think there were more important things going on at the time.. | 00:36 |
| jacobw | For months about 30 minutes of Question Time was taken up with "But.. but.. expenses!" | 00:37 |
| hamitron | they probably used the smoke screen as an ideal time to put dodgy stuff through :/ | 00:37 |
| BigRedS | possibly. But just crap like NPfIT and the like. Can't we all get angry about that sort of stuff? | 00:37 |
| hamitron | NPfIT? | 00:38 |
| BigRedS | I think that's its acronym. The NHS IT project | 00:38 |
| directhex | the "let's buy terrible ms software for billions on a decades-long contract" one? | 00:39 |
| BigRedS | To be fair to them, there's a lot of terrible non-ms software in there :) | 00:39 |
| hamitron | they do it with everything, why do something clever with IT? ;/ | 00:40 |
| BigRedS | yeah, I'd just like more people to be annoyed by it | 00:41 |
| directhex | blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg | 00:41 |
| hamitron | I am annoyed with it and many things :) | 00:41 |
| hamitron | but in fairness to those deciding on behalf of the NHS thingy, the whole IT industry is messy :/ | 00:43 |
| hamitron | there seems to be an obsession with needing to advance everything every few years, breaking the standards of today to make work tomorrow | 00:45 |
| shauno | good lord. getting a self-signed cert onto an iphone is a hell of a mess. | 00:45 |
| jacobw | change != improvement | 00:45 |
| hamitron | I'd like to see more major changes, but less often | 00:46 |
| hamitron | only if changes improve something though :) | 00:46 |
| hamitron | why I love ubuntu LTS tbh | 00:48 |
| hamitron | although, it would be even longer if I decided ;) | 00:48 |
| * bigcalm eyes bigcalm_ | 00:51 | |
| bigcalm | Why has my workstation woken up? | 00:51 |
| bigcalm | Silly windows | 00:51 |
| hamitron | why blame windows? | 00:52 |
| bigcalm | Because it run windows | 00:53 |
| bigcalm | Why not? ;) | 00:53 |
| bigcalm | If I make it sleep, it will wake up around this time each night for a few minutes before going back to sleep | 00:53 |
| hamitron | suppose | 00:53 |
| hamitron | :) | 00:53 |
| bigcalm | Quite odd | 00:53 |

| BigRedS | I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that the huge majority of #empathy hashtags on Twitter are about the 'normal' meaning of the word, rather than the software | 15:23 |
| dutchie | BigRedS: are you aware of Help -> Debug? | 15:25 |
| dutchie | (from the contact list) | 15:25 |
| BigRedS | dutchie: nope. Awesome! Cheers! | 15:26 |
| dutchie | np | 15:26 |
| * BigRedS should turn to IRC before Twitter in future :) | 15:28 | |

| Azelphur | has anyone noticed with youtube recently, I'll start watching a video and it'll stream way too slowly, like 20KB/sec and it'll continually stop to buffer | 16:41 |
| Azelphur | then you hit refresh and it zooms up to 500KB/sec and works fine | 16:41 |
| exobuzz | youtube is constantly just rubbish for me | 16:57 |
| AlanBell | sounds like it is working as designed then exobuzz | 16:58 |
| exobuzz | hehe | 16:58 |
| exobuzz | Azelphur, btw, i have xbmc working nicely now on ubuntu maverick etc. in case you use your joggler still : | 16:59 |
| exobuzz | :) even | 16:59 |
| Azelphur | cool :D | 16:59 |
| Azelphur | I need to get it going again but still not sure what to do about storage | 16:59 |
| Azelphur | it nuked those microsd's so fast lol | 17:00 |
| Azelphur | and I don't want a huge external USB device | 17:00 |
| exobuzz | small usb stick ? | 17:00 |
| Azelphur | any recommendations? :D | 17:00 |
| exobuzz | ive got a couple of http://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Talent-8GB-Pico-C-Chrome/dp/B001BAW7P4 | 17:00 |
| bigcalm | sanddisk | 17:00 |
| exobuzz | they write at about 8-10mb/second and read at 25mb ish | 17:01 |
| Azelphur | exobuzz: got a photo of what that looks like in the joggler? looks like it'd sticko ut :( | 17:01 |
| exobuzz | it sticks out a bit.. like 1.5cm | 17:01 |
| Azelphur | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/Photos/December%202010/IMG_20101208_021003.jpg | 17:02 |
| exobuzz | you could try maybe http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11546 if you want even smaller. slower though | 17:02 |
| Azelphur | my micro usb readers looked so cool | 17:02 |
| bigcalm | I have a usb hub plugged into mine. That hides under the stand so memory and kb connections are out of sight | 17:02 |
| exobuzz | i prefer some speed and sticking out a bit | 17:02 |
| exobuzz | bigcalm, yeh that works nicely too | 17:02 |
| Azelphur | exobuzz: it's for a clock, so speed isn't an issue ;) | 17:02 |
| Azelphur | once it boots it'll just sit there. | 17:03 |
| Azelphur | Read only filesystem is even an option | 17:03 |
| exobuzz | you should use it for more than a clock. heh | 17:03 |
| exobuzz | i mean you could watch iplayer on it or something | 17:03 |
| Azelphur | exobuzz: well I was thinking a mythtv enabled alarm clock | 17:03 |
| exobuzz | or stream porn. i mean videos | 17:03 |
| bigcalm | Azelphur: did you try out http://idophp.co.uk/projects/touch_alarm/ | 17:04 |
| Azelphur | bigcalm: that's nothing compared to my joggleclock :o | 17:04 |
| exobuzz | xbmc looks great on it. nice to have it working again | 17:04 |
| Azelphur | bigcalm: did you look at my photo | 17:04 |
| * bigcalm looks | 17:04 | |
| exobuzz | also no full screen hacks. i patched up the xbmc code to work properly with touchscreen in fullscreen mode | 17:04 |
| bigcalm | I haven't played with it for a long time. Does all that I want it to do | 17:04 |
| bigcalm | I see, very nice | 17:04 |
| Azelphur | :D | 17:04 |
| exobuzz | http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/source/xbmc/ (fyi) | 17:05 |
| exobuzz | i still need to set upo my bed joggler to use your clock | 17:05 |
| Azelphur | bigcalm: the activity log displays highlights/ims and the counters in the middle work apart from the unread email one, the weather works too. It's conky :) | 17:05 |
| exobuzz | Azelphur, is your clock stuff public ? | 17:05 |
| Azelphur | exobuzz: it's just conky | 17:05 |
| exobuzz | your config though | 17:05 |
| Azelphur | I think I lost it when my microsd died :( | 17:05 |
| * Azelphur has a nose around | 17:05 | |
| exobuzz | *cough* backups | 17:05 |
| Azelphur | yup, that's where I put it, got it all here :P | 17:06 |
| Azelphur | exobuzz: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/misc/Feburary%202011/Joggleclock.zip it's complete and utter crap :D | 17:07 |
| exobuzz | thanks. ill take a look | 17:07 |
| exobuzz | : | 17:07 |
| exobuzz | :) | 17:08 |
| exobuzz | bigcalm, tried out h/w acc video decoding ? | 17:08 |
| exobuzz | its pretty cool to see 1080p h264 video playing on the joggler with 15% cpu usage | 17:08 |
| exobuzz | (downscaled to 800x480 of course heh) | 17:08 |
| bigcalm | Really? | 17:10 |
| exobuzz | yeh | 17:10 |
| bigcalm | I haven't done anything with it for months | 17:10 |
| bigcalm | Work got in the way | 17:10 |
| === Guest12124 is now known as LjL-Temp | ||
| bigcalm | Speaking of which. I should switch to the work station and finish off a Drupal skin :( | 17:11 |
| === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest16286 | ||
| exobuzz | works with latest emgd. http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/mint/ has it pre-installed | 17:11 |
| exobuzz | mplayer -va vaapi -vo vaapi /path/to/video.mkv for example | 17:11 |
| bigcalm | Ta :) | 17:12 |
| exobuzz | work stuff ? ive done a couple of drupal sites. i was mostly impressed with drupal | 17:12 |
| bigcalm | I'm more of a backend coder | 17:12 |
| bigcalm | Messing with CSS is a PitA | 17:12 |
| exobuzz | with drupal, i have to use semantic views module or i lose my mind with all the bloat views makes | 17:13 |
| exobuzz | but i liked that it didnt take too long with drupal for example to do some custom modules etc and i like how everthing is split into modules | 17:14 |
| bigcalm | It's very versatile | 17:15 |

| pr0ph3t | hi all | 19:21 |
| pr0ph3t | is there a fairly secure way to control an ubuntu installation remotely from another ubuntu installation? | 19:23 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: !ssh | 19:26 |
| moreati | !ssh | 19:26 |
| lubotu3 | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 19:26 |
| pr0ph3t | moreati, I thought you couldn't nowdays with routers? | 19:27 |
| pr0ph3t | thanks by the way | 19:27 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: ssh works over tcp, and hence through routers. Do you mean NAT? | 19:27 |
| pr0ph3t | moreati, I mean I can't connect to his ip because it's simply a local ip, but I can't connect to the gateway ip either right? | 19:34 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: right, you did mean NAT. | 19:35 |
| pr0ph3t | moreati, sorry I didn't know I did mean that :P | 19:35 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: What are you trying to accomplish - beyond connecting to this remote PC? | 19:36 |
| pr0ph3t | moreati, my dad is really bad with computers and lives abroad and he needs me to manage some things remotely | 19:37 |
| pr0ph3t | I will have to gain root access which is quite unsafe right? | 19:38 |
| pr0ph3t | I'll need tunneling? | 19:39 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: 2 ways. 1) Have him install sshd, create a user account and open ports on his NAT router. 2) Both install Skype or Empathy and use desktop sharing | 19:39 |
| pr0ph3t | moreati, installing skype and empathy is exactly what he's trying to do now and can't do :P | 19:39 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: Installing sshd and opening ports is likely to be an even greater challenge | 19:40 |
| pr0ph3t | moreati, skype is not in the repos | 19:41 |
| pr0ph3t | I'm giving him commands to paste in the console | 19:41 |
| pr0ph3t | sudo apt-get install sshd | 19:41 |
| moreati | pr0ph3t: yes it is, on 10.10 at least, and Empathy is installed out of the box | 19:41 |
