hazrpgHmm... I appear to be having some weird troubles that I never use to have with this install :/01:23
hazrpgMy main enter key on my keyboard just doesn't do anything, I'm having to press enter with my secondary enter (numpad) key01:24
hazrpgand for some reason, I can't get the menu and bars to stay on my left screen with TwinView - it keeps placing it on the right screen. Whenever I manage to get it to display on the left screen, I have to move my mouse all the way to the left to appear on the right screen. Which is odd behaviour (dispite looking right on the NVIDIA X Server Settings)01:26
hazrpgIts really driving me insane >_<01:27
hazrpgWhoop! Fixed my first issue, getting the screens right - can't seem to fix my keyboard issue. Anyone able to help shed some light? Also media buttons aren't working either (mute, volume, etc). I'm using a zboard, I'm guessing its a driver issue.01:33
hazrpghmm, still having trouble getting my keyboard to work properly - any ideas?03:01

Myrttimy kitchen thermometer says it's -26 outside06:16
shaunowhat's your kitchen thermometer doing outside?06:16
Myrttiwell, the kitchen window outside thermometer06:16
Myrttithe assumption is that people go prepare breakfast in the kitchen06:17
Myrttiso they check the outdoor temperature while at it06:17
shaunoah06:17
shaunoonly time I had to pay attention to temperatures, we had a little station setup, so we'd check from the pc each morning, not the kitchen :)06:17

danfishAlanBell: I'm there already and I've said no to myself. Lodging an official complaint against myself ;)09:06
danfishDJones: man flu, so little sympathy.09:07

doubiMorning all. I've been searching around for details on the Super+<blah> keyboard shortcuts, but they seem to be separate to the normal ones. E.g., Super+S for the shutdown menu isn't listed in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. Why is that?09:54
Neoti|workmorning all09:59
AlanBelldoubi: they might be compiz keybindings10:03
doubiAlanBell: I saw compiz bandied about in the search results, but assumed I'm not using it if I'm using out-of-the-box Gnome that comes with 10.4?10:06
doubiIs compiz an alternative to Gnome or a layer on top?10:07
bigcalmIt's extra wizzy-bang stuff10:07
bigcalm"wobbly windows" and the like10:07
doubiAh, I see. Will Google further in that direction.10:09
doubiIt would be nice if Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts could centralise all extant shortcuts. Bit unintuitive to have two separate sets.10:10
* mungojerry is having to fix a laptop running vista this morning due to team member on holiday. what have i done to deserve this?10:12
gorddoubi, the problem is that prefs -> keyboard shortcuts is gnome specific and compiz is multi-desktop compatible. i agree, its just not as simple as you might like to do10:13

PeteBHi. How do I install the VirtualBox extension pack for USB support in Ubuntu 10.10? The GUI has no 'Extensions' section and vboxmanage doesn't understand the 'extpack' option.10:25
exobuzzadd the virtualbox ppa  (listed on virtualbox site), get the latest version from there  and follow instructions from there to install usb10:25
bigcalmPeteB: there should be a seperate package that will install the extensions10:25
PeteBbigcalm: you need to use the methods I justdescribed to be able to install it though10:26
exobuzzin /etc/apt/sources.list.d add a file with deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib10:26
bigcalmPeteB: ignore me and follow exobuzz's suggestion then ;)10:26
exobuzzits all on here http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads10:26
PeteBexobuzz, are you saying that Canonical pull support for extensions from their version?10:27
bigcalmThe package maintainer might be a little lax10:27
exobuzzPeteB,  i cant remember what version is in maverick and it might be different10:27
exobuzzit might be ose edition,10:27
exobuzzthe usb stuff was changed in virtualbox 410:27
DJonesMooDoo: My wife is the opposite, if I sneeze, she keeps asking "Am I sure I should be going into work"10:27
bigcalmDJones: it's a bugger to keep my GF home if she's ill10:28
exobuzzon older virtualbox there were two editions, one with usb and one without..10:28
bigcalmCouncil PAs are all over worked10:28
PeteBYeah it is the OSE edition, which is why we have to get the extension sperately. Anyway thanks for the info I'll look into it from that link.10:28
exobuzznow its a single one with usb extensions.. so your version probably is an older one that doesnt have usb support10:28
exobuzz(and doesnt understand the extension)10:29
exobuzz</spam>10:29
exobuzzthe ose edition didnt have separate extensions afair10:29
exobuzzyou are probably on virtualbox 310:29
PeteBOh yeah, it'sversion 3. I'd thought 10.10 came with 4.0, I must have misread packages.ubuntu.com. ThanksI've just installed it, it's 4.0.2 in Ubuntu 10.1010:30
* exobuzz watches demos on his amiga 50010:30
* MooDoo runs around to exobuzz and reminises10:30
exobuzzPeteB, i always install from vbox repositories anyway. to get the newest stuff10:30
exobuzzMooDoo, brings a tear to my eye it does.. *sniff*10:31
MooDooexobuzz: i bet, and i gave my a1200 away a few months ago10:31
exobuzzNOoOooooooO10:31
MooDooexobuzz: yeah fraid so....10:31
exobuzzwell.. you can load up uae or something10:31
MooDooexobuzz: yeah i do :)10:32

DJonesMooDoo: I hate it, but I hate earache even more11:40
bigcalmAt least we agreed not to get gifts for each other11:40
Oli``bigcalm: Mine has been telling me not to get her a card all week, citing that Valentine's Day is just an event to sell cards, it's silly and we should just show our affection every day instead of setting some unruly precedent on one day of the year....11:41
Oli``... And then leaves me a card on my desk this morning. *sigh*11:41
bigcalmOli``: women, eh?11:41
* bigcalm grins at czajkowski11:41
DJonesOli``: Its just an excuse to make you feel guilty11:41

MooDoobigcalm: really?#11:43
bigcalmMooDoo: not to you :P11:43
MooDoobigcalm: i know that lol.......although how rude, am i not worth it ;)11:43
bigcalmI've never understood how one gets an engagement ring without them knowing to propose with11:46
bigcalmFor that matter, I would need to find out what her ring size is11:46
bigcalmMarried peeps: how did you do it?11:46
mungojerryi proposed with a jelly ring made of haribo11:47
exobuzzharibo rings ftw11:47
dwatkinsrings can be adjusted, also: women tend to have other rings which can be measured in secret11:47
bigcalmClass!11:47
mungojerryand a massive gran prix rose11:47
Oli``bigcalm: steal some other jewellery?11:47
MooDoowhich is what i did dwatkins :)11:47
DJonesbigcalm: We just decided & went to the jewellers together so she could pick what she wanted11:47
dwatkinsMooDoo: :D11:47
bigcalmOli``: this is the advantage of working from home11:47
mungojerrydjones yeah - she hass to wear it for life so i wanted her/us to pick11:48
bigcalm"has to"?11:48
bigcalmIf I wait until next year, she might propose to me11:49
Oli``bigcalm: or take a plaster cast of her hand while she's asleep (you'll need to put a glove on her first because plaster is an irritant, if you're doing a full cast)11:49
bigcalmOli``: bit late for that11:49
mungojerryactually going ring shopping together post-engagement is fun11:49
mungojerrywe decided on 2 rings, and she chose the *smaller* diamond :)11:49
bigcalmFrom wikipedia: "Conventionally, the woman's ring is presented as a betrothal gift by a man to his prospective spouse while he proposes marriage or directly after she accepts his marriage proposal. It represents a formal agreement to future marriage. Rings can be bought by the man, the couple together, or by each partner for the other."11:50
bigcalmI like that thought11:50
Oli``bigcalm: take a recent photo and CSI-style build a 3D model based around known dimensions in the picture11:50
bigcalmOli``: or take one of her existing rings to a jewllers to size11:50
Oli``bigcalm: where's the fun in that?11:50
Oli``Apply some science to the problem.11:50
bigcalm;)11:50
mungojerryhttp://www.everythingusb.com/swarovski-usb-engagement-rings-14440.html11:51
bigcalmLOL11:51
bigcalmIf she were a geek like me, that would be amusing11:52
MartijnVdSbigcalm: the trick is to _make_ her one :)11:52
Oli``You can't force it on her... You need to make her think that becoming a geek was her idea. Inception style11:53
mungojerryMrs Mungojerry was the one who asked me to install ubuntu on her laptop11:53
mungojerryno cajoling..it sells itself11:53
Oli``mungojerry: impressive11:53
bigcalmI loved that film and had no problem following it in the cinema. GF was confused :S11:53
Oli``Not the most bulletproof of plots though11:54

andylockranhey guys, I've got three DNS servers setup for a domain13:23
andylockranone is master, two are slaves off it.13:23
jpdsSounds standard.13:24
andylockranif the master goes down, I'd expect the slaves to continue to serve the DNS, but when the master goes down both slaves stop serving for the domain too13:24
=== mrevell-lunch is now known as mrevell
mungojerrysounds like the slaves are misconfigured just to forward requests  to the master13:26
mungojerryeither that or they don't have a copy of the zone files? can you specify a slave server in nslookup/dig  and query hosts?13:28
andylockranhttp://dpaste.com/415638/13:28
andylockranthey have the zone files, and they look right - even when the master is taken down13:28
TheOpenSourcererNokia shares are down 20 percent  since the middle of last week when news of the deal leaked, hitting a  six-month low: http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/Nokia-Microsoft-tie-gets-reuters_molt-410195743.html?x=0&.v=113:30
Myrttimeh13:33
mungojerryandylockran, dunno - worth turning logging up high - also check that transfers are allowed in master config, and DNS ports tcp and udp are allowed in iptables13:34
andylockranah13:34
andylockranI think it's the expiry parameter13:34
andylockranneed to set that high, then if the master is down the slaves can continue being authoritative for longer than the TTL13:35
andylockranthat makes sense right?13:35

popeyi had the exact same issue on my vps15:54
popeyfought it for months15:54

popeyits some combination of apache / php / wordpress 3.x15:55
andylockranhey ho guys.15:55
andylockranand gals15:55
X3Nare we using the distro wordpress?15:55
andylockranwondering what the best setup is for multi-server imap store.15:55
popeyupstream15:55
andylockran:p15:56
BigRedSpopey: you don't have any more details do you? Assuming some of our wordpress users upgrade we'll have hundreds of that sort of setup soon15:56
popeyI dont15:56
popeyI did some testing and was able to reliably cause apache to eat _all_ ram using specific wordpres URLs15:56
BigRedSeeek. Time for some VMs methinks.15:56
X3Nthere are no packages installed for wordpress15:57
popeyX3N: observe my answer to your question above15:57
popey15:55:20 < X3N> are we using the distro wordpress?15:57
popey15:55:25 < popey> upstream15:57
X3Nah, then we should use the distro version15:57
popeyno15:57
X3Nwhy not?15:58
BigRedS'cause it'll be ancient15:58
popeyold mc old15:58
BigRedSwordpress *really* wants to be kept up to date, much more so than you can do with distro packages15:58
X3Nbut stable and supported with security updates15:58
popeywe update it regularly15:58
popeyas and when security updates occur15:58
X3Nbetter to get them through the distro imo16:00
popeywell, we disagree on that16:00
popeyand this has been in place for over 3 years16:00
BigRedSThemes etc. prefer wordpress-from-wordpress16:00
popeythe time to suggest that we used a different version of wordpress was probably around 1000 days ago.16:01
BigRedShaha16:02
X3Nwell if the only thing we can change is the server, if a bit drastic, so it's really a non-choice16:02
popeywell, having mentioned previously that I have seen this issue on another 10.04 VPS with the same software stack..16:02
popeyand replacing the webserver made the issue go away16:02
popeythe problem is diagnosing memory issues on a php app is _hard_16:03
ubuntuuk-planet[Jamie Bennett] Tracking open source projects in Linaro - http://www.linuxuk.org/2011/02/tracking-open-source-projects-in-linaro/16:03
X3NThe app shouldn't be able to run the system out of ram anyway16:03
X3Nphp is supposed to handle memory managment in a sane way16:03
popeycorrect16:03
popeywelcome to my world about a year ago.16:03
BigRedSIt's mostly immaterial. If you ulimit it or whatever it still hits the limit and the php stops16:03
X3Nchanging the websever shouldn't fix this really16:04
popeyand reverting to wordpress 2.old will?16:05
X3Nmaybe, there might be some kind of obscure bug that is only triggered in new versions16:06
directhexold wordpress == almost hacked wordpress16:06
popeywell I agree on that point, the issue only arose when I upgraded to wordpress 3.x16:06
popeyhowever it is entirely possible that the issue is triggerd _in_ php or apache as a result of a code change in wp 3.x16:07
popeyso the upshot is, either someone invests a significant amount of time debugging the issue.. or something else yet to be suggested16:07
popeyor we switch to lighty which has been proven not to have this issue16:07
popey(but may have other issues as yet not identified)16:08
X3Njust looking at the config i have on my vps16:10
* AlanBell has servers running current wordpress on apache with no apparent issues16:26

MyrttiI find it annoying that I can't tell if the wp vulnerability checkup plugin is safe to use on a shell provider hosted wp16:38
mgdmI've never seen anyone complain about similar who wasn't runnning Ubuntu packages, so i wonder if it's one of the distro specific patches that does it16:38
MyrttiI don't want it to trawl through all the files on the webhost16:38
X3Npopey: can we put php into debug mode and log it and then have a look?16:39

hazrpgnor any of my media keys19:42
hazrpgrespond*19:42
hazrpglsusb shows me my keyboard: Bus 008 Device 004: ID 1038:0100 Ideazon, Inc. Zboard19:44
hazrpgbut if I'm not mistaken, Bus 008 Device 003: ID 03eb:3301 Atmel Corp. at43301 4-Port Hub, is also part of my keyboard (it has 2 USB ports on the front of it)19:45
hazrpgxev response to most keys, the only one's that don't seem to do anything is: Main big enter key, vol-up, vol-down, vol-mute, previous, stop, play/pause, calc, etc19:47
hazrpgits really frustrating19:48
hazrpgmainly just the enter key19:48
penguin42oh never heard of an enter key that doesn't work19:52
moreatihazrpg: Have you positively confirmed that the enter key still works outside Ubuntu? i.e. are you certain that the physical key still works?19:52
hazrpgpenguin42: I think the issue with this keyboard is it can have the keyset taken off and changed at will19:52
hazrpgmoreati: works fine in Window 719:53
penguin42hazrpg: wireshark can sniff usb - see what happens19:54
moreatihazrpg: what do you mean that the keyset can be changed?19:54
hazrpgmoreati: its a Zboard, by the now owned SteelSeries company19:55
hazrpghowever I've never had an issue in ubuntu until yesterday when I put ubuntu 10.1019:55
hazrpgproblem is also in ubuntu 10.04 too19:55
hazrpgmoreati: the keyset is interchangeable - since its a gaming keyboard19:56
hazrpgpenguin42: just installing now to see what happens, been a while since I used wireshark for anything19:56
moreatihazrpg: you mean the physical keys can be moved around the keyboard, or the mapping from keys to keycodes?19:57
DJoneshazrpg: programmable keyboard?19:57
penguin42hazrpg: The 'evtest' pacakge also looks promising19:57
hazrpgDJones: not quite, its predefined - each keyset has a chip that just tells the main keyboard controller what the button placement is, which then gets sent out to the O/S19:58
hazrpgmoreati: no, the whole keyset just unclips off19:58

hazrpgshauno: how would i do that?20:07
shaunoI'd hit e to edit the command line in grub .. you can set it on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub, but that'll make it a bit more permenant, which I don't like to do until I know it works20:08
shaunoactually, I'd be tempted to try thru the steps in https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LaptopTesting/Keycodes   first20:10
shauno(yes I know it's not a laptop keyboard, but it is a weird usb keyboard, which tends to be the problem with laptop keyboards)20:11
hazrpgpenguin42: hmm, i don't know what i'm looking for in wireshark for usb devices dude20:12
DJonesIsn't wireshark for network interfaces20:16
hazrpgDJones: you can capture stuff in usb interfaces too20:19
hazrpgsome guy has managed to make a plugin for wireshark to capture bluetooth too now :)20:19
hazrpgsame guy even made his own usb bluetooth dongle which allows it to go into "monitor mode" so that he can just grab random packets that are flying around in the area20:20
DJonesInteresting, I'd only heard of it in regard to network interfaces20:20
hazrpgyeah, because most only want it for sniffing packets ^^20:20
hazrpgDJones: You might be interested in this, http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-824 <== its the custom "hack" hardware for sniffing bluetooth devices20:21

Azelphurbut yea, no idea on getting that running sorry :(20:29
hazrpgits weird though, because I've been using this for years... and I don't understand why it doesn't like it now20:30

DJonessearching for "windows xp" gives me the option to "block microsoft.com" :)21:42
ali1234cool, i've wanted that for ages21:42
ali1234i hope someone makes a firefox version though because i hate chrome21:43
ali1234or even better just allow any logged in user to do this21:44
ali1234first i would block all those stupid datasheet sites where it is just a list of filenames and no download links21:45
hazrpgright, sod this for a game of soldiers, I have a feeling its the BIOS - so I'm going to update to the latest firmware - if I don't reappear in about half hr... I've probably broken my system lol.21:50
hazrpgooo apparently 0802 fixes the "Logitech G1 Keyboard may not be detected" issue... so hopefully that might fix mine too21:52
ali1234what keyboard do you have?21:53
hazrpgits a zboard21:53
hazrpg(but not the zboard merc, its the regular - original zboard)21:53
ali1234bios update will only add keyboard detection in the bios21:53
ali1234legacy mode21:53
hazrpgyeah but the enter key is non-responsive in applications booted up after bios (i haven't a clue what you'd call these, but e.g. ubuntu alt-install, memtest, etc)21:55
hazrpgeven in the CMOS it doesn't pick it up it would seem21:55
hazrpgbut i never had problems with my keyboard in the past, and i'm wondering if the new hardware is the cause21:56
ali1234could be21:57
ali1234memtest for sure uses legacy mode21:58
hazrpgwon't hurt to do a bios update anyways, will it?21:58
hazrpgthe one I have is 0505 and the current one is 080221:58
hazrpgthats alot of updates21:59
hazrpgIt has an application in the BIOS to flash it by holding ALT+F2 at the start, which is meant to stop it from being bricked if problems happen if I recall22:00
hazrpgbrb22:05
KrimZonali1234: firefox has an extension called OptimizeGoogle which can do that22:06
KrimZonamong other thigns22:06
ali1234cool22:06
ali1234i will check it out, thanks22:06
