| HazRPG | I've got an interesting question for you guys; about encryption. | 02:08 |
|---|---|---|
| HazRPG | I've been looking at this: http://shop.kernelconcepts.de/product_info.php?products_id=119 | 02:08 |
| HazRPG | which is essentially a SIM card type reader | 02:08 |
| HazRPG | supposedly for encryption | 02:09 |
| HazRPG | and I recall MartijnVdS linking me to this: http://www.g10code.com/p-card.html | 02:09 |
| HazRPG | I was wondering, how would these two together work to store and retrieve PGP keys | 02:10 |
| HazRPG | would I have to write my own set of applications, or can I use existing ones... and if so which existing ones would word | 02:10 |

| hazrpg-irssi | thought i'd see what the fuss with irssi was about :P | 03:45 |
| ali1234 | you can run it in screen | 03:50 |
| ali1234 | that's the only reason to use it | 03:50 |
| hazrpg-irssi | hmm | 03:51 |
| hazrpg-irssi | I have installed screen too, but unsure how to use it | 03:51 |
| ali1234 | "screen" | 03:51 |
| ali1234 | (run some program) | 03:52 |
| ali1234 | ctrl-a d | 03:52 |
| ali1234 | screen -r | 03:52 |
| hazrpg-irssi | so for example screen irssi | 03:52 |
| ali1234 | you don't need to supply arguments, it gives you a shell | 03:53 |
| hazrpg-irssi | ah | 03:53 |
| hazrpg-test | hmm this is rather cool | 03:58 |
| HazRPG | hi hazrpg-test | 03:58 |
| hazrpg-test | wow, session is kept in tack, that is pretty wicked :D | 03:59 |
| hazrpg-test | I'm guessing there's a way to name screens | 03:59 |
| HazRPG | Lunchie: oh hey dude :D | 04:03 |
| HazRPG | Lunchie: your up late dude | 04:03 |
| Lunchie | HazRpg heya dude | 04:04 |
| Lunchie | was working tilll 11 | 04:05 |
| HazRPG | ah | 04:05 |
| Lunchie | and was on the phone to rach till 3 lol | 04:05 |
| HazRPG | ah lol :P | 04:05 |
| HazRPG | been looking into OpenPGP and storing the keys onto either a SIM or chip-embedded card | 04:06 |
| HazRPG | these are the cards http://www.g10code.com/p-card.html | 04:06 |
| HazRPG | and if your pc/laptop doesn't have a reader you can use this for the SIM version: http://shop.kernelconcepts.de/product_info.php?cPath=1_26&products_id=119 | 04:07 |
| HazRPG | apparently it works with the GnuPG tools (which is what the keyring in ubuntu uses if I recall) | 04:09 |
| HazRPG | Lunchie: I just cracked open my Duff beer ;) | 04:14 |
| HazRPG | Lunchie: what you up to anyways? | 04:15 |

| AlanBell | for popey and czajkowski and TheOpenSourcerer and others | 07:31 |
| popey | yay AlanBell | 07:51 |
| AlanBell | the alarm didn't go off at 3:30 as it was supposed to (set to weekdays only) | 08:08 |
| AlanBell | woke up at 06:00, got down there at 06:05 | 08:08 |
| AlanBell | the only thing they were sold out of by the time I got in was saturday lunchtime | 08:09 |
| popey | wow, lucky! | 08:15 |
| AlanBell | so Friday evening for Beer + Curry \o/ | 08:16 |
| hcfd | AlanBell, you get up at 3.30am on weekdays? | 08:23 |
| HazRPG | is this for next year? | 08:23 |
| AlanBell | hcfd: nope! I just changed the time of the alarm, but forgot the day scope thing | 08:25 |
| AlanBell | HazRPG: this year, April 15th | 08:25 |
| hcfd | AlanBell, ohh! I thought for a moment that you'd cottoned onto an optimal sleep routine the rest of us were missing out on :) | 08:26 |
| HazRPG | AlanBell: thought beerex was an annual thing, hasn't this years already been on the 4/6th ? | 08:26 |
| AlanBell | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farnham_Beer_Exhibition | 08:26 |
| HazRPG | AlanBell: ah, I thought you meant this: http://www.beerex.co.uk/ | 08:28 |
| popey | Looking forward to it! | 08:47 |
| alexcockell | Do you guys try to turn up for the CAMRA beer fest in Reading? | 08:51 |
| popey | I havent ever | 08:55 |

| TheOpenSourcerer | lol | 09:28 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | that was quite late. | 09:28 |
| AlanBell | yes! | 09:28 |
| AlanBell | they had only sold out of saturday lunch by the time I got to the desk | 09:28 |
| alexcockell | People ACTUALLY wake up or more.. get up at 6 on SUNDAYS? | 09:29 |
| AlanBell | I was intending to be up at 04:00 | 09:29 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | alexcockell: I didn't. | 09:29 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | In fact I have been up for about 15mins | 09:29 |
| alexcockell | I may have come round and whipped the APAP mask off around that time.. | 09:29 |
| AlanBell | I was going to take a frying pan, burner and sausages to cook in the queue | 09:29 |

| bigcalm | Morning peeps | 11:28 |
| bigcalm | Anybody with experience of editing PDFs in linux? | 11:28 |
| bigcalm | Editing existing PDFs that is | 11:28 |
| directhex | bigcalm, editing how far? | 11:29 |
| bigcalm | directhex: deleting and editing existing text | 11:29 |
| HazRPG | wow, found this link on my blog that someone posted... Stephen Fry saying happy birthday to GNU (unsure of date): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dcxtEKShXA | 11:34 |
| dutchie | oh no, not that again | 11:34 |
| directhex | bigcalm, that's nontrivial | 11:37 |
| HazRPG | dutchie: heh, I've not see it before | 11:38 |
| bigcalm | If I can find Acrobat Writer at home, I'll use that | 11:38 |
| bigcalm | Currently visiting my parents and my dad needs to edit things | 11:38 |
| czajkowski | bigcalm: the ide of a pdf is to stop folks editing things:) | 11:39 |
| bigcalm | czajkowski: one of, not completely though :) | 11:39 |
| czajkowski | it's the reson why in my 2nd last job docs were sent in pdf to stop people adding stuff to them | 11:40 |
| czajkowski | as they found when .docs were sent if they checked the history in them , small minor edits were made. | 11:40 |
| HazRPG | czajkowski: actually the whole point of pdf originally was so that documents would look the same on all platforms it was viewed on - that way it can be printed & viewed in its entirety as the designed/writer intended. | 11:41 |
| czajkowski | HazRPG: one reason yes | 11:41 |
| HazRPG | it might have changed over the years... but that was the main reason for its creation | 11:41 |
| HazRPG | czajkowski: heh .doc is the worst file format on the planet | 11:42 |
| HazRPG | some of you may already know this, but .doc can sometimes store other things hidden in the document - however this might have been fixed since then, but it was a long standing bug for a while | 11:43 |
| * HazRPG doesn't really keep up to date with microsoft based formats/software very often | 11:43 | |
| HazRPG | sorry for pointing out the obvious, I'm sure some of you already knew that | 11:44 |
| HazRPG | can pdf's actually be locked out completely? As far as I can tell you can convert the pdf to something else and then save it back as a pdf | 11:46 |
| dogmatic69 | what is a good way to setup wifi to manage all computers connecting to it | 12:14 |
| dogmatic69 | i was thinking of running my ubuntu box as a dhcp server or something | 12:14 |
| HazRPG | there are thousands of ways of doing it, but it just depends on why your doing it, and how many will be connecting to it. | 12:15 |
| HazRPG | If its just for internet access, and only a few are going to be connected at any one time, then a regular router configured correctly should suffice. | 12:16 |
| HazRPG | However if your concerned with privacy and security, then setting up a server with dhcp, proxy, etc might be a better solution. | 12:17 |
| directhex | HazRPG, storig extra innfo in a .doc is a feature, not a bug - but one many don't expect | 12:19 |
| Pendulum | hiya | 12:19 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: id like to set it up like airport wifi maybe | 12:20 |
| HazRPG | directhex: Hmm, if you mean extra descriptions about the .doc, who created it etc, then yes that's a feature. However I was talking about what I read a few years back about .doc files storing previously opened documents into newly created ones - which may, or may not, contain sensitive information | 12:20 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: how'd ya mean? | 12:21 |
| dogmatic69 | mostly for fun, some for pissing off the person sponging of my internet | 12:21 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: like when you connect it only will load a custom page | 12:21 |
| dogmatic69 | and then you would normally pay / enter a pw to access anything else | 12:21 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: if I recall that's what the use of a proxy server is for | 12:22 |
| HazRPG | but I might be wrong | 12:22 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: sounds about right | 12:22 |
| HazRPG | for it to work like that, then yes you will have to setup a dhcp server | 12:23 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: don't forget, if you are going to setup a dhcp, that you'll need to turn off the dhcp feature on your router | 12:27 |
| jacobw | Am I right in thinking that with Apache vHosts I can run two websites from the same VPS ? | 12:27 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: would it work if my pc is connected on wifi? | 12:28 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: ye i will | 12:28 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: what do you mean? | 12:28 |
| dogmatic69 | would it be ok setting up a dhcp server that is only connected via wifi | 12:28 |
| HazRPG | oh you mean setting up the dhcp and stuff like that? | 12:28 |
| HazRPG | oh, is it a machine that's going to act as the dhcp server? | 12:29 |
| HazRPG | a machine connected via wifi* | 12:29 |
| HazRPG | its usually best to have a dhcp server as wired | 12:30 |
| HazRPG | I'm unsure how it'd work if you had it over wifi | 12:31 |
| jacobw | So you want to restrict access to all hosts except your PC, and you want your PC to act as a DHCP server? | 12:31 |
| HazRPG | sounds like he wants to setup a gateway of sorts to the internet | 12:32 |
| HazRPG | more than anything else | 12:32 |
| HazRPG | so that when browsers try to use the internet, it forces them to login first | 12:33 |
| jacobw | You'd have to assign a pool of addresses to your PC, it'd be complicated | 12:33 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: ye that is it, dont have wired for my pc :/ (which would be the dhcp server) | 12:36 |
| jacobw | Is there a reason why the obvious solution of encrypting the wireless traffic wouldn't work in this scenario? | 12:37 |
| dogmatic69 | jacobw: loads of reasons, mostly no good ones.. but they should not be on my wifi :D | 12:38 |
| jacobw | That's my point, if you encrypted your wifi traffic then they can't establish a connection with the AP without the encryption key in the first place | 12:39 |
| jacobw | can't->couldn't | 12:39 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: ah, best solution for you would be to block all except MAC addresses you explicitly set - if you want it to be really secure | 12:39 |
| MadLeomon | I think the real question is why someone wouldn't encrypt their wifi | 12:39 |
| HazRPG | I have my wireless setup in this manner :) | 12:40 |
| directhex | so they can run an upside-down-ternet | 12:40 |
| dogmatic69 | but if they can establish a connection and i piped it though a packet sniffer... | 12:40 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: dude, if you limit the wifi connects to only a set number of MAC addresses in your house, you shouldn't have any problems | 12:41 |
| HazRPG | MAC is a unique code imprinted inside the chips of each network device (network cards, wifi, routers, etc) | 12:41 |
| dogmatic69 | ye, limiting the connections is easy | 12:41 |
| directhex | mac spoofing is trivial | 12:41 |
| jacobw | MAC address spoofing isn't particulary difficult, but they would have to know your MAC address, which is easy to learn if your wifi traffic is unencrypted | 12:42 |
| dogmatic69 | directhex: that is not the point | 12:42 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: also, using WPA2 or better is a pretty decent security-wise | 12:42 |
| HazRPG | specially if you use a nice long access key for it | 12:43 |
| dogmatic69 | i would like to have more control than just disabling it... like maybe limiting the connection to 10kb/s and other painfull things | 12:43 |
| dogmatic69 | making 4000 ads show on every webpage | 12:43 |
| jacobw | Encrypt your wifi traffic AND set up MAC address filtering AND limit the pool of addresses available to DHCP IF you need to support a variable number of hosts | 12:43 |
| dogmatic69 | also the other problem is that they are in the house, so its easy for them to reset the router | 12:44 |
| jacobw | Why would you want to go to that effort when is easy to prevent unauthorised access | 12:44 |
| jacobw | Well, relatively easy compared to other things | 12:45 |
| MadLeomon | that's what I've been wondering | 12:45 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: what he means by set a pool of addresses, he means limit the router to only allow say 3 wifi connections max (e.g. PC, laptop, phone) | 12:45 |
| jacobw | This sounds like a social problem rather than a technical problem | 12:45 |
| dogmatic69 | jacobw: because its more fun | 12:45 |
| dogmatic69 | jacobw: exactly | 12:45 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: you do realise if they're able to reset the router, then all settings would die with it too... | 12:46 |
| HazRPG | meaning the internet connection settings would die with it also (assuming its not hard coded into the device) | 12:46 |
| dogmatic69 | HazRPG: even if dhcp is running of a server? | 12:47 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: yes | 12:47 |
| dogmatic69 | hmm | 12:47 |
| dogmatic69 | well that is assuming they know how | 12:47 |
| dogmatic69 | talking your average windows user that has problems accessing facebook | 12:47 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: if they can reset it manually, the dhcp would re-enable on the router and since it is the first point of connection for the wifi devices would adopt the IP's from that. Worse case would be that both DHCP's would conflict with each other and would make each computer connected constantly get a different IP address (or even assigned the same IP address) | 12:48 |
| dogmatic69 | ok | 12:48 |
| HazRPG | so it would cause havoc on the network | 12:49 |
| dogmatic69 | ill just hide the network and change the logins for now | 12:49 |
| HazRPG | setting up encryption would be a good start too | 12:50 |
| HazRPG | by having it the way you wanted the first time round, you'd be allowing ANYONE to sniff your data | 12:50 |
| HazRPG | regardless of whether they could use the internet or not | 12:50 |
| jacobw | What router+switch+ap device have you got? | 12:50 |
| HazRPG | its scary to think someone would want to have no encryption on their network | 12:52 |
| jacobw | How long does it take to break WEP now? | 12:53 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: I've done it in less than a minute before using my house router and laptop | 12:54 |
| HazRPG | further away you go it takes longer then | 12:54 |
| HazRPG | though* | 12:54 |
| HazRPG | dogmatic69: WPA2 or WPA-PSK is probably the best encryption you can put on it at the moment (depending on your router though, there might be better) | 12:56 |
| * jacobw wonders if there's an Android application for cracking WEP yet | 12:56 | |
| jacobw | WPA2-PSK is the standard as far as I'm aware | 12:56 |
| HazRPG | indeed | 12:56 |
| HazRPG | also, turn off SSID broadcasting if your really paranoid (however this means when your trying to set up the wireless on other devices, you need to put the name of the SSID manually instead of selecting from a list) | 12:57 |
| jacobw | Remembering your SSID is easy though | 12:58 |
| HazRPG | set wireless isolation on too (might be called MAC address white list, or wireless station access list, etc) | 12:59 |
| jacobw | I haven't thought about disabling SSID broadcasting | 12:59 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: really, I always do :) | 12:59 |
| jacobw | haven't->hadn't | 12:59 |
| jacobw | :p | 12:59 |
| HazRPG | just out of pure paranoia | 12:59 |
| HazRPG | ... I know way too many people who experiment with rainbow tables | 12:59 |
| jacobw | Is there a router+switch+ap avaible that can spoof the MAC addresses of the packets it forwards to the outside world | 13:00 |
| jacobw | ? | 13:01 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: hmm interesting... not sure if you can do that router side, but I'm pretty sure that the mac address in the packets are usually the thing sending out the information - which in this case would be the router | 13:03 |
| jacobw | Oh yeah, of course they would be :s | 13:04 |
| HazRPG | my router has mac spoofing, in the sense that you can assign the router to use any mac address you want - I had to do that for my current ISP because I was given a static IP address and was limited to the MAC address of the router they gave me. | 13:04 |
| jacobw | I was trying to think of a way to circumvent port security limiting the number of hosts per port | 13:04 |
| HazRPG | but I wanted to use my own router | 13:04 |
| HazRPG | thankfully when you set it to static, it asks if you want to use the computer's MAC address, the default MAC address, or type in your own. | 13:05 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: how so? | 13:06 |
| jacobw | http://packetlife.net/blog/2010/may/3/port-security/ | 13:07 |
| jacobw | bbiab | 13:07 |
| HazRPG | what does that stand for? | 13:08 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: hmm, I'm not sure about that one | 13:11 |
| HazRPG | I'm really liking the dkpg-reconfigure command | 13:30 |
| HazRPG | just been using it to configure murmur | 13:30 |
| HazRPG | or mumble-server rather | 13:31 |
| HazRPG | wow configuring apache on linux is so different! | 13:43 |
| HazRPG | or maybe I've just been using an old version of it | 13:43 |
| jacobw | I need to learn to configure Apache | 13:47 |
| jacobw | wrt vHosts mainly | 13:48 |

| HazRPG | hey brobostigon :) | 14:39 |
| brobostigon | hey HazRPG :) | 14:39 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: apache is easy when your using a gui and a gui text-editor as I'm use to | 14:39 |
| * jacobw uses vim over ssh :p | 14:40 | |
| jacobw | vim for the win | 14:40 |
| HazRPG | I use to setup a shared folder on win2003 which was where the site was hosted and mount it on my machines so that I could drag and drop files and the site would get updated | 14:40 |
| HazRPG | but I'm trying to get into the habit of terminal | 14:41 |
| jacobw | i think yuo can do that with gnome-vfs | 14:41 |
| * HazRPG learned so many commands recently my brain might exploded xD | 14:41 | |
| jacobw | hehe | 14:41 |
| HazRPG | gnome-vfs? | 14:41 |
| HazRPG | oh to mount network drives? | 14:41 |
| jacobw | yeah | 14:41 |
| HazRPG | see that's what I'm looking into at the moment | 14:42 |
| HazRPG | im not sure whether it would be best to install samba/samba-server and do it that way, or to install ftp server of some sort and do it that way | 14:42 |
| brobostigon | or maybe sshfs? | 14:42 |
| HazRPG | because I'm sure ubuntu doesn't mind where drive is that its mounting if I recall | 14:42 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: sshfs? | 14:43 |
| jacobw | yeah, i was going to say, samba seems superfluous and ftp seems insecure, so sshfs seems like the best opinion | 14:43 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: filesystem mounting over ssh. | 14:43 |
| brobostigon | !info sshfs | 14:43 |
| lubotu3 | sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2-1build1 (maverick), package size 39 kB, installed size 140 kB | 14:43 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: ah, but would it would in windows? | 14:43 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: not a clue. | 14:43 |
| jacobw | i feel your pain, i have to use Windows at work :( | 14:44 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: heh, at the moment I'm trying to transition myself completely away from windows - but man I can't help the gamer side of me | 14:44 |
| HazRPG | also, this darned keyboard hates anything that isn't windows :/ | 14:45 |

| HazRPG | brobostigon: guessing you don't game though? | 14:45 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: i certainly do, yes, no as much as iused to though, | 14:46 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: oh, shoot... not fair :( I can barely get anything to work properly under wine | 14:46 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: native games dowork better. | 14:47 |
| HazRPG | depends on your setup :/ | 14:47 |
| brobostigon | true. | 14:47 |
| HazRPG | I hate two monitors and it plays wild with twinview | 14:47 |
| HazRPG | have* | 14:47 |
| brobostigon | i see, not tried multi-monitor yet. | 14:48 |
| HazRPG | I was playing an ultimate game of tux typing the other day because of it | 14:48 |

| jacobw | get a console | 14:48 |
| HazRPG | first few levels I could cope... but after that it was insane! | 14:48 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: can't play most strat games on a console sadly :( | 14:49 |
| HazRPG | specially not starcraft | 14:49 |
| HazRPG | (despite it being ported over to a few things before) | 14:49 |
| HazRPG | SC2 is PC/OSX only :( | 14:49 |
| brobostigon | however, my biggest frustration here, is trying to get an uptodate gnome3/gnome-shell on 10.10 without having to run natty. :( | 14:50 |
| brobostigon | and natty pretty much died as soon as i installed it, yesterday, despite running fine from liveusb. | 14:50 |
| jacobw | ah, i'm more in to the GT/MGS/COD type of games | 14:51 |
| HazRPG | I originally went and got a x360 second-hand from someone who was moving away (£50 for 2 controllers, console boxed, cables, the works + 4 games) and then a wii and ps3 new... just so I could stay away from gaming on the PC - but sadly I'm not a massive war-shooter kind of guy which seems to be the trend at the moment :/ | 14:51 |
| jacobw | i just can't be bothered with strategy games, except Fallout, but i wouldn't say thats a strategy game | 14:52 |
| jacobw | £50 is a cool price for all that | 14:52 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: hmm, that's odd can you not run into a terminal and remove unity because that might be the issue | 14:52 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: fallout is more of an RPG/Shooter - which I like, great mix of shooter and RPG rolled in one | 14:53 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: i ran it without unity, as it still majorly broke, most of gnome, and a few otherthings were seriously broke. | 14:53 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: I was hooked over xmas on borderlands which I got gifted via steam - sadly would have been better for it to have it on my ps3 though - because it means another thing that's tying me to windows :/ | 14:54 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: latest version of natty? | 14:54 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: yesterday mornings daily, | 14:54 |
| HazRPG | ah | 14:54 |
| HazRPG | jacobw: £50 was just for the 360 though, I still bought the wii and ps3 out-right | 14:55 |
| HazRPG | I got the 360 before either of those existed though, so it wasn't all bought at the same time | 14:55 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: so i might just use the alternate install, put onto usb, and install cli only, andbuild from there. | 14:55 |
| HazRPG | mainly got the ps3 for linux support and media stuff | 14:55 |
| HazRPG | which saddens me that they removed the linux support :( | 14:56 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: might be worth just grabbing that last stable version, do your config from there, remove unity, etc then upgrade all your packages | 14:56 |
| brobostigon | i did see a ps3 natty build yesterday. | 14:57 |
| HazRPG | I say stable, I mean last /working/ version | 14:57 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: yeah kind of useless unless I put the geohotz cfm though | 14:57 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: i would be happier starting with cli only, as its so basic, i have more control. | 14:58 |
| HazRPG | and since he's still in the process of being sued, he hasn't updated it in a while | 14:58 |
| brobostigon | yes. | 14:58 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: true... | 14:58 |
| HazRPG | I mean grab that last /working/ alternative version and work your way from there | 14:58 |
| HazRPG | that way at least you know it won't be heavily broken | 14:59 |
| HazRPG | if that makes sense at all | 14:59 |
| brobostigon | the alternate i tried yesterday, just plain didnt work. | 15:00 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: heh was doing a bit of googling one night for a discussion I had with someone once and your blog popped up... you put me in your blog :) | 15:00 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: yeah but the alt you tried was the daily wasn't it? | 15:01 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: let me check? | 15:01 |
| brobostigon | cool, yes i did, :) | 15:02 |
| HazRPG | it might be more work, but if you go to the last working copy, and then install gnome-shell, then just update packages one by one until you find one that's broken then just roll it back | 15:02 |
| brobostigon | true, yes. | 15:02 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: how did i mention you, and i what context? | 15:03 |
| brobostigon | in* | 15:03 |
| HazRPG | it was when we were doing the audrino thing :P | 15:03 |
| HazRPG | trying to get it to sync the time properly | 15:03 |
| brobostigon | ah, thats a while ago now. | 15:03 |
| HazRPG | it was! | 15:03 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: and i figured out how to do it, :) | 15:04 |
| HazRPG | the annoying thing was, after reading it I thought... one thing we hadn't tried was sending a timestamp and storing it into a variable and having it increment as you'd expect time to, however that would be more processing for the board and I don't know how much resources that would eat up | 15:05 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: oh did you? | 15:06 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: the solution, was eventually, getting a gps module, and pulling the time each processing cycle. | 15:06 |
| HazRPG | heh, nice little hack :) | 15:07 |
| brobostigon | after all, gps has a very accurate time signal, i though well, we cantake avantege of that, and then maybe also use gps for other things later. | 15:08 |
| HazRPG | I suppose the other way round would be to see if there was a chip that could be placed onto the board for processing time | 15:08 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: this is very true | 15:08 |
| brobostigon | that would still require said chip,toget the time from somewhere to work from. | 15:09 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: well I have a feeling that the include files we were working on should have done the trick, I think the main problem was that the board wasn't processing the time at all | 15:10 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: i still have that code backed up, somewhere, | 15:10 |
| HazRPG | hehe | 15:11 |
| brobostigon | i willgo find it, inabit. | 15:11 |
| HazRPG | I don't think the code was the problem, I mean we both looked at it and it /should/ have worked, I think the problem was that the board isn't/wasn't configured to operate time (I might be wrong) | 15:13 |
| brobostigon | i think you might be right, let me find the code again, | 15:13 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: heh, it might have been our execution though ... | 15:14 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: just found this: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/Time | 15:14 |
| brobostigon | ithink we looked atthat lasttime. | 15:15 |
| HazRPG | seems someone has made a library for doing time without the need for an external timekeeping hardware | 15:15 |
| HazRPG | did we? | 15:15 |
| brobostigon | i think so,yes, iremember something like it. | 15:15 |
| HazRPG | I don't recall us doing this though: "this sketch by sending T1262347200 using the serial monitor (this sets the time to noon on Jan 1 2010" | 15:17 |
| brobostigon | iwould agree, however it needs to work independently from any device,only itself. | 15:18 |
| HazRPG | does the arduino have an internal battery? | 15:19 |
| brobostigon | no. | 15:19 |
| HazRPG | ah, that might be the problem | 15:19 |
| Baikonur | infernal battery, charges from the fires of hell | 15:19 |
| brobostigon | it gets power from the main car battery, atthe moment, | 15:19 |
| HazRPG | Baikonur: ^^< | 15:19 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: what did we keep doing originally? | 15:20 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: in which aspect? | 15:20 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: were you sending the code off, and then unplugging it and testing it? or was it always kept plugged into the PC? | 15:20 |
| HazRPG | because that might be why it was always showing up as if there was no time | 15:21 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: it was kept plugged into pc, now its seperatly powered, in alittle box in the car,and only has a pc connected todebug and upload newcode. | 15:22 |
| suprengr | hi u-uk peeps o/ | 15:23 |
| HazRPG | suprengr: hey dude | 15:23 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: ok the code on that site doesn't show how the time is uploaded to the device, is that were we were going wrong maybe? | 15:24 |
| suprengr | just downloaded from Banshee [from 10.04 standard reo] to see what all the fuss is about... first impression... hmm, not that different from Rhythmbox... | 15:25 |
| suprengr | *repo | 15:25 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: maybe, yes. | 15:25 |
| suprengr | ... but then I thought: "wot, no 'visualisations', & went back to RB?" Am I missing a trick here or is there a use other people are finding which I am not? | 15:25 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: would make sense, the code does process the time, however if we weren't sending it any time information then it would be constantly waiting for time | 15:25 |
| HazRPG | suprengr: heh, I haven't tried banshee so I wouldn't know | 15:26 |
| HazRPG | I always just use Rhythmbox | 15:26 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: this is why i think the gps idea, was asolution, for it to get the time,from. | 15:27 |
| * HazRPG opens up his vm | 15:27 | |
| * HazRPG installs banshee | 15:29 | |
| HazRPG | ooo banshee does look nicer | 15:30 |
| HazRPG | suprengr: huh, you might be right | 15:34 |
| HazRPG | suprengr: there is an extension made by the community to add visualisation support btw :) | 15:36 |
| HazRPG | suprengr: try this out: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/enable-visualisations-in-banshee-ubuntu/ | 15:40 |
| HazRPG | it adds in support for Jamendo and a few other things that Rhythmbox use to be able to do too :) | 15:41 |
| HazRPG | they're all extensions so you can tick/untick whichever one you want | 15:41 |
| pr0ph3t | hi all | 15:59 |
| brobostigon | the net, e4. fairly good film. | 16:00 |
| pr0ph3t | can I limit the bandwidth usage for each user from my ubuntu machine? | 16:01 |
| Azelphur | pr0ph3t: each Linux user, or each user on your network? | 16:02 |
| pr0ph3t | well the other one is a mac user | 16:02 |
| pr0ph3t | so each user on the network Azelphur | 16:02 |
| Azelphur | pr0ph3t: not unless your Ubuntu machine is the router :P | 16:03 |
| pr0ph3t | so I should distribute the internet through my ubuntu box? | 16:03 |
| Azelphur | not unless you want to play most complicated setup ever :p | 16:04 |
| brobostigon | couldnt you do the bandwidth limiting directly on the router, dpeneding on if its capable or not. | 16:04 |
| Azelphur | brobostigon: never seen one that is | 16:05 |
| brobostigon | Azelphur: i am sure my router here with openwrt could. forexample. | 16:05 |
| pr0ph3t | brobostigon, that would be great if it was possible | 16:05 |
| Azelphur | brobostigon: yea, openwrt or dd-wrt was about to be my suggestion | 16:05 |
| brobostigon | Azelphur: :) | 16:06 |
| Azelphur | pr0ph3t: what router do you have? | 16:06 |
| pr0ph3t | netgear with incorporated modem, latest virgin one | 16:08 |
| brobostigon | http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start | 16:08 |
| Azelphur | pr0ph3t: model number :P | 16:09 |
| brobostigon | http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start#netgear | 16:09 |
| brobostigon | or a cheap wrt54* ,and connect that to existing router,? | 16:10 |
| pr0ph3t | I'll have a look, thanks guys | 16:11 |
| HazRPG | brobostigon: cool, might have to watch that - is it on now? | 16:14 |
| brobostigon | HazRPG: yes. | 16:15 |

| daftykins | hey all :) long time no visit | 20:07 |
| MartijnVdS | hey daftyman | 20:07 |
| daftykins | what's the situation with flash 10.2 on Linux then? can it with with Lucid? | 20:07 |
| daftykins | sorry, i mean can GPU offload work with Lucid? | 20:08 |
| ali1234 | sure, if you install nvidia driver | 20:08 |
| daftykins | this is for on my XBMC nettop, with Ion | 20:08 |
| daftykins | hmm, must be an issue then | 20:08 |
| ali1234 | the issue is that flash developers have a whitelist of drivers that work, just like firefox | 20:09 |
| daftykins | because it couldn't handle scaling a video to fullscreen :D | 20:09 |
| brobostigon | flash i hammering my cpu here, in 10.10 on my eeepc. | 20:09 |
| ali1234 | and that whitelist currently contains nvidia driver and nothing else | 20:09 |
| daftykins | ah | 20:09 |
| daftykins | that's quite bias isn't it | 20:09 |
| ali1234 | it's not bias - the other drivers actually don't work | 20:09 |
| ali1234 | especially nouveau | 20:09 |
| daftykins | i suppose i need to look for that info when right clicking on say, youtube videos to see if it's accelerating or not | 20:10 |
| daftykins | anywho, i was trying to watch the engadget show last on my nettop and it couldn't handle the scaling :D | 20:16 |

| gord | not being able to find your screw drivers when you need to screw driver something is llike torture =\ | 21:41 |
| brobostigon | agreed. | 21:42 |
| popey | crunchbang working verynicelyindeed on the eee 900 | 21:46 |
| brobostigon | ok, crunchbang is based on debian testing isnt it. | 21:47 |
| gord | hrm, hard to find space for laptop and two monitors on this desk, i may need to invest in multiple desks | 21:48 |
| gord | and maybe hire an engineer to figure out a system where i can spin the desks around me to choose my workstation | 21:49 |
| penguin42 | gord: You know those things in is it Korean restaurants .... | 21:50 |
| mgdm | a "lazy Susan" | 21:50 |
| penguin42 | well, there's the obscure fact of the day | 21:50 |
| mgdm | \o/ | 21:50 |
| penguin42 | cool, didn't know that | 21:50 |
| popey | brobostigon: based on debian 6 | 21:53 |
| popey | according to /etc/debian_version on this eee | 21:53 |
| brobostigon | popey: oh, stable, ok. | 21:53 |
| brobostigon | wheesy* | 21:53 |
| popey | no | 21:54 |
| popey | squeeze | 21:54 |
| popey | thats what lsb_release reports anyway | 21:54 |
| brobostigon | isnt that stable now, ? | 21:54 |
| popey | i have no idea | 21:55 |
| brobostigon | yes, squeese is stable now, | 21:56 |
| popey | this seems to work quite nicely | 21:56 |
| mgdm | it was released over the FOSDEM weekend, IIRC | 21:56 |
| popey | and has a neat script that runs when you first login | 21:56 |
| brobostigon | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Release_history | 21:56 |
| popey | to install lots of extra stuff you might want/need | 21:57 |
| d3ngar | hey there | 21:57 |
| brobostigon | i think i need to try it, | 21:57 |
| brobostigon | noswaith dda d3ngar | 21:57 |
| mgdm | Crunchbang was tremendous back when I first got my Aspire One | 21:57 |
| d3ngar | I have a problem playing DVDs with pretty much any programme | 21:57 |
| mgdm | as it has a dead HD and I need to reinstall anyway, I might try it again | 21:57 |
| d3ngar | Tried MPLayer, Totem, VLC | 21:57 |
| popey | i do like the feature to install dropbox from a menu item | 21:57 |
| popey | thats quite neat | 21:57 |
| popey | d3ngar: what problem? do you get an error message of some kind? | 21:58 |
| d3ngar | Totem tells me that there is an error reading from the disc | 21:58 |
| d3ngar | But the disc is fine, I tried others | 21:58 |
| d3ngar | The menu loads okay | 21:58 |
| brobostigon | its going to be either debian sid/experimental here, and or natty, to run gnome3/gnome-shell, | 21:58 |
| popey | d3ngar: have you done all the silly bits to do with decss? | 21:59 |
| d3ngar | dvdcss? | 21:59 |
| d3ngar | decss has got no meaning to me | 21:59 |
| brobostigon | !info libdvdcss2 | 22:00 |
| lubotu3 | Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in maverick | 22:00 |
| popey | !dvd | 22:00 |
| lubotu3 | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 22:00 |
| popey | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs specifically | 22:00 |
| popey | there is a little script you need to run which does the stuff to make DVDs play | 22:01 |
| d3ngar | popey: Yeah done that | 22:01 |
| popey | no idea then, sorry | 22:01 |
| d3ngar | any idea where I could ask? | 22:01 |
| popey | tried running vlc in a terminal and see what it says? | 22:01 |
| popey | get the specific error message | 22:02 |
| d3ngar | know the command? | 22:02 |
| brobostigon | vlc, and then do as normal, and look for errors. | 22:02 |
| brobostigon | enter* | 22:03 |
| d3ngar | yeah, will try | 22:03 |
| d3ngar | -v gives verbose output | 22:03 |
| brobostigon | yes. | 22:03 |
| d3ngar | Interesting | 22:03 |
| d3ngar | It says libdvdcss is not available | 22:04 |
| d3ngar | I installed this package | 22:04 |
| ikonia | ok ubuntu uk'ers lets talk SSD's I need a minimum of 12GB, MLC to keep the cost down, SLC is over kill, what's my best band for buck options, | 22:04 |
| brobostigon | d3ngar: do you have libdvdcss from medibuntu ? | 22:04 |
| ikonia | I can see an OCZ 120GB drive that seems to be the best option, but I'm out of the loop | 22:04 |
| d3ngar | no | 22:04 |
| brobostigon | libdvdcss is the part of vlc that does dvd decoding. | 22:05 |
| d3ngar | should be fine to install it from the script? | 22:05 |
| d3ngar | brobostigon: there is a script that gets it for you: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 22:05 |
| brobostigon | d3ngar: i always justadded medibuntu repo manually, and that installed manually, but i am sure there is a better way now. | 22:05 |
| brobostigon | then* | 22:05 |
| brobostigon | d3ngar: oh, i see. i didnt know about that. sorry. | 22:06 |
| popey | ikonia: how much do you want to spend? | 22:06 |
| popey | ikonia: I just got an Intel X25-M 120GB and love it | 22:06 |
| bigcalm | Gah, I hate webkit right now | 22:06 |
| popey | 150 quid | 22:07 |
| ikonia | popey: that's pretty reasonable | 22:07 |
| popey | yeah | 22:07 |
| popey | ebuyer | 22:07 |
| ikonia | popey: the OCZ I was looking at was 167 including VAT | 22:07 |
| ikonia | http://www.scan.co.uk/products/120gb-ocz-technology-vertex-2e-25-sandforce-ssd-mlc-flash-read-285mb-s-write-275mb-s | 22:07 |
| ikonia | I'd like a little bigger if possible but the price jumps massive over 120 | 22:07 |
| d3ngar | brobostigon: do you know where libdvdcss should be located? | 22:07 |
| popey | http://www.ebuyer.com/product/239663 | 22:07 |
| brobostigon | d3ngar: in medibuntu. | 22:07 |
| popey | 173.34 inc vat, sorry, I dont pay vat | 22:07 |
| d3ngar | erm? | 22:07 |
| ikonia | and my SLC drive was something stupid like £400 for a 600GB drive | 22:08 |
| ikonia | popey: well, I don't as it goes through the business | 22:08 |
| brobostigon | !medibuntu | 22:08 |
| d3ngar | /home/mediabuntu? | 22:08 |
| lubotu3 | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 22:08 |
| popey | ouch | 22:08 |
| ikonia | but it's still "there" | 22:08 |
| popey | ikonia: exactly | 22:08 |
| popey | well, yes | 22:08 |
| d3ngar | That's not a location | 22:08 |
| popey | d3ngar: just follow the instructions at the link provided | 22:08 |
| brobostigon | thanks popey | 22:08 |
| d3ngar | but it's already installed, no? | 22:08 |
| d3ngar | So where would the file normally be located? | 22:08 |
| popey | what file? | 22:08 |
| d3ngar | libdvdcss.so? | 22:09 |
| popey | have you run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh ? | 22:09 |
| d3ngar | yup | 22:09 |
| ikonia | popey: our of interest what device is the SSD in ? | 22:10 |
| popey | ikonia: a toshiba laptop | 22:10 |
| * d3ngar reads: "Rebooting may be necessary." | 22:11 | |
| * d3ngar curses | 22:11 | |
| d3ngar | I'll try to reboot | 22:11 |
| d3ngar | I'll let you guys know if that did anything | 22:11 |
| d3ngar | ttfn | 22:11 |
| popey | hang on | 22:11 |
| d3ngar | hanging | 22:11 |
| d3ngar | ? | 22:11 |
| popey | do you have /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.* ? | 22:12 |
| exobuzz | popey, great to see the podcast is coming back. nice one! | 22:12 |
| popey | :) | 22:12 |
| d3ngar | popey: how can I search for a file? | 22:13 |
| popey | just open a terminal and type:- | 22:13 |
| popey | ls -l /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.* | 22:13 |
| d3ngar | yep, I have it | 22:13 |
| popey | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2011-02-20 22:10 /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2 -> libdvdcss.so.2.1.0 | 22:13 |
| popey | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34808 2008-09-15 16:19 /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.1.0 | 22:13 |
| popey | like that? | 22:13 |
| d3ngar | yes | 22:14 |
| d3ngar | these two | 22:14 |
| exobuzz | i prefer ls -l /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.* | cowsay ;-) | 22:14 |
| popey | heh | 22:14 |
| popey | d3ngar: no idea why it doesnt work then, you have the libs | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | I certainly do | 22:15 |
| popey | i would do as previously suggested, run vlc on the command line and see what it does | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | Maybe restart is necessary | 22:15 |
| popey | unlikely | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | VLC told me that I don't have the files to read sestricted | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | but I do??? | 22:15 |
| popey | how odd | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | Well | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | I shall reboot | 22:15 |
| popey | ok | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | And return! | 22:15 |
| d3ngar | Maybe it has problems with 64-bit? | 22:16 |
| brobostigon | weird. | 22:16 |
| brobostigon | should be needed, | 22:16 |
| * popey shrugs | 22:16 | |
| popey | I'd get the log | 22:16 |
| brobostigon | ? | 22:16 |
| brobostigon | vlc's, yes. | 22:16 |
| d3ngar | brb | 22:16 |
| brobostigon | be careful with /exec boys and girls. | 22:19 |
| popey | hmm? | 22:20 |
| brobostigon | popey: as it allows output from normal terminal into irssi. | 22:20 |
| popey | it does | 22:22 |
| popey | if you call it right | 22:22 |
| popey | /exec -o figlet MOO | 22:22 |
| popey | vs | 22:22 |
| brobostigon | agreed. | 22:22 |
| popey | /exec figlet MOO | 22:22 |
| ikonia | ok, SSD purchased | 22:23 |
| d3ngar | Well, good new | 22:23 |
| d3ngar | s | 22:23 |
| d3ngar | news even: | 22:23 |
| d3ngar | It works once I restarted | 22:23 |
| brobostigon | hmm. | 22:23 |
| d3ngar | How retarted | 22:23 |
| d3ngar | I feel like it's 1995 again :D | 22:23 |
| brobostigon | popey: i agree. | 22:24 |
| ikonia | popey: appreciate the input | 22:24 |
| ikonia | now I need a "cool" desk positioned powered USB hub | 22:25 |
| popey | np ikonia | 22:26 |
| popey | ikonia: seen the ones that clamp on the side of the desk? | 22:27 |
| ikonia | nope | 22:27 |
| popey | so cables drop to the floor rather than go all over the desk | 22:27 |
| ikonia | popey: got a link, that looks different | 22:27 |
| * brobostigon goes all old fashioned and puts jethro tull on. | 22:27 | |
| popey | googlin | 22:27 |
| ikonia | scan.co.uk are silly they have some offers on SSD drives, you click to buy them and they are on "pre-order" | 22:28 |
| ikonia | but it's a today only offer | 22:28 |
| popey | http://cableorganizer.com/reviews/read_review.php?page_id=BE-F5U201-KIT | 22:28 |
| popey | not what i was thinking but equally neat | 22:28 |
| popey | i have 3 such holes in my machine | 22:28 |
| popey | s/machine/desk/ | 22:28 |
| ikonia | that's quite cool, I could use just one more port though as a buffer, 5 - 6 ports would be perfect | 22:29 |
| ikonia | actually, 4 will be fine | 22:29 |
| ikonia | popey: you are genius today | 22:30 |
| popey | haha | 22:30 |
| popey | just today | 22:30 |
| popey | One day only! Special offer! | 22:30 |
| daftykins | ;) | 22:30 |
| daftykins | hey popey, hope you're well | 22:30 |
| popey | 1.5 hours left, make the most of it! | 22:30 |
| popey | daftykins: hey ho daftykins ! | 22:30 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 22:30 |
| Azelphur | anyone know how much it costs / how to get a second telephone line? | 22:53 |
| brobostigon | depends of the telephone operator, i suspect. | 22:53 |
| bigcalm | Cost me 50 quid when I got a 2nd line in 2002 | 22:54 |
| Azelphur | ah I see, so you need to talk to your TSP about it? | 22:54 |
| Azelphur | cool | 22:54 |
| bigcalm | Or was it 1999? | 22:54 |
| popey | http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=bt+cost+of+second+line+installation&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 22:54 |
| popey | http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25497 | 22:54 |
| popey | most houses have two lines already | 22:55 |
| popey | gord: if i repeatedly ALT_Tab between two apps in unity, the windows creep cross the screen to the right | 22:55 |
| popey | is this known bug? | 22:55 |
| popey | Installation is only £30 (subject to survey) and will appear on your next bill. No paper-free discount is available on an additional line and a minimum term of 12 month applies. | 22:56 |
| popey | Azelphur: from the faq on that site | 22:56 |
| Azelphur | fun | 22:57 |
| Azelphur | popey: but that's clamped to BT | 22:57 |
| popey | well, thats bt prices, sure | 22:57 |
| Azelphur | I'm interested in not being clamped to BT | 22:57 |
| popey | "Other providers may vary" | 22:57 |
| Azelphur | ah I see | 22:57 |
| Azelphur | so yea it's as I said gotta ask my provider | 22:57 |
| * brobostigon gets everyone a panderyn, :) | 22:58 | |
| brobostigon | welsh whisky* | 22:59 |
| Azelphur | also, since I'm getting a second line | 23:00 |
| Azelphur | what's the deal with line bonding? ;) | 23:00 |
| popey | "the deal"? | 23:00 |
| popey | not all ISPs do line bonding do they? | 23:01 |
| popey | AAISP do iirc | 23:01 |
| Azelphur | ah, so it has to be supported on the ISPs side | 23:01 |
| popey | i think so | 23:01 |
| popey | AAISP provide a special box at your end too | 23:01 |
| Azelphur | popey: haha, only problem is their data prices are ridiculous | 23:02 |
| popey | yup | 23:02 |
| brobostigon | native ipv6. | 23:02 |
| Azelphur | popey: based on my current usage, £235.40/mo :D | 23:02 |
| popey | cheaper to get a leased line I'd imagine :) | 23:02 |
| Azelphur | indeed | 23:03 |
| popey | unless you're in the middle of nowhere | 23:03 |
| Azelphur | I was just thinking, Sky do 24mbit for £10/mo, and as I'm getting a second line anyway | 23:03 |
| popey | symmetric too | 23:03 |
| Azelphur | I'm probably in the middle of nowhere | 23:04 |
| pr0ph3t | hi all | 23:57 |
