AzelphurI need to grab from that repo but no luck :(01:24
directhexpretty sure you need clone, not fetch01:24
Azelphurclone just puts it in a directory called dbusdisplay:dbusdisplay01:25
ali1234why is this a problem01:25
Azelphurbecause I need to download the fix to test it but I can't find a link on github.com and the command he gave me don't work?01:25
ali1234he assumes you already have checked out the standard repo01:26
Azelphuroh so I run that after checking out the standard repo01:26

HazRPGslackthumbz: or is that just an invisible gnome panel?05:37

shaunognome's own panels can look pretty sexy when you don't get stupid panel-applets that try to enforce their own background :/05:37

ballIf I start an X client and specify a geometry of 192x168-8+8, it seems to be a lot more than 8 pixels away from the right hand edge of the screen.05:40
ball...Is that to leave room for some kind of dock?05:41
shaunoI think the window borders have some kind of invisible width lately05:41
ballLooks more like 128 pixels away from the right-hand edge05:43

AlanBelllizard08:46
DJonesbigcalm: I think the correct answer is "To be confirmed"08:46
TheOpenSourcererAhh morning el Presidente08:46
DJonesAlanBell: Lizard? Where has that come from, but thanks for the reminder, must remember to set my recorder for the new series of V starting this week08:47
bigcalmOh god08:48

DJonesAlanBell: Makes sense now08:49
bigcalmI can't even remember which channel we were watching it on. This is how rememberable the show was :(08:49
bigcalmI only watched it for the Firefly crew. Even they couldn't hold it together08:50
DJonesbigcalm: Probably SyFy channel08:50
bigcalmDJones: seems probable08:50
DJonesI enjoyed it08:50
bigcalmI like the premise and the production values. But it was just meh somehow08:51
bigcalmLike the 1st ep of Flash Forward was great!08:51
DJonesI watched the 1st 4 episodes there, and then watched the rest via the web because I couldn't be bothered waiting for it to be broadcast in the uk08:51
bigcalmHeh08:51
DJonesFlashforward started well, slowed down but then got good towards the end08:52
bigcalmI will get around to reading the book08:52
DJonesThe one I was disappointed that got cancelled was Jericho, only had about 1.5 series08:52
bigcalmRight now we're enjoying Castle. So glad that it's made it to a 3rd series08:53
DJonesbigcalm: Flashforward book? I've read it, it bears no resemblence to the series but as is usual was much better than the series08:53
bigcalmThat's what I'm hoping for :)08:53

mungojerryJGJones: england reported 80% christianity last census when the true churchgoing figures are much less. it may be that culture has changed so that people don't go to church if they don't believe.10:44

s-foxSo, yes I think they might need money :)11:10
mungojerrys-fox: yes but corporate tax avoidance to the tune of $3bn is rather unethical woulnd't you say?11:11
AlanBellevasion is unethical, avoidance is good accountancy11:11
s-foxI agree with AlanBell .11:11
mungojerryevasion is unlawful, avoidance is potentially unethical IMO11:12

dogmatic69man, could anyone help me with getting a ssl cert working? bought one off thawte.. cant find the right guide to use for this12:39
dogmatic69have not seen two tutorials doing the same thing12:40
screen-xdogmatic69: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#realcert12:44
dogmatic69that is for a self signed something?12:46
screen-xdogmatic69: no, thats for generating CSR to send to CA, then installing signed cert.12:48
screen-xdogmatic69: example of using real cert http://paste.ubuntu.com/583774/12:50
dogmatic69screen-x: thanks, its just that people already done half of this12:59
dogmatic69suck a mess12:59
dogmatic69right, "openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt" gives some legit looking output13:02
screen-xdogmatic69: I have to lookup the openssl incantations each time I install a cert, I don't do it often enough to remember..13:10
* screen-x submits census13:12
czajkowskidavmor2: what have you done to moodoo ?13:16
davmor2czajkowski: no idea I'm assuming he is on nights or holiday13:17
czajkowskiodd13:17

czajkowskihe usually still joins you in tormenting me13:17
czajkowskidavmor2: brief visit13:17
czajkowskigrand got to see the sister13:17
davmor2czajkowski: Oi I ain't said nothing to you, apart from this how dare you trundle past wolverhampton on the train and not pay a visit :P13:18
czajkowskipff you'd have been asleep13:19
czajkowskioption was at 8am yesterday or at 3am this morning take your pick13:19
screen-xthe census envelope makes quite a good hat, I propose we all wear them on the 27th13:21

czajkowskiselinuxium: howdy13:23
davmor2selinuxium: morning13:23
selinuxiumAnyone done an upgrade to 11.04? I was wondering if I should test it or just flatten the laptop...13:24
BigRedSscreen-x: isn't it supposed to not be filled in until the 27th?13:24
czajkowskiaye13:25
screen-xBigRedS: As far as I know, its about the 27th, but can be filled in early, if the situation on the 27th is known.13:26
screen-xcensus.gov.uk says "It's time to fill it in"13:26
* mungojerry hasn't opened his census letter yet, it's still sitting unopened on the stairs along with unopened bills and this months copy of linux magazine13:27
directhexi haven't opened these bottles of rum i received this morning13:29
directhexi should fix this later13:29
mungojerrywhen does census need to be done by?13:30
BigRedSISTR it's supposed to be filled in on the 27th and posted by the 31st13:30
gordi did mine online weeks ago13:31
mungojerryBigRedS: really?13:31
mungojerrywhat if you are on holiday for 3 weeks? i only got mine last week13:32
screen-xmungojerry: then you have too much annual leave ;-)13:33
* mungojerry wonders how everyone knows about the census13:33
mungojerryit wasn't on slashdot on ubuntu planet so i didn't see it13:33
popeyvia the media and a "census" through the letter bocks13:33
davmor2czajkowski: it's dawned on me what you're up to, you've gone over for some Irish Bunting for the Ubuntu Rugby Grudge^wMatch :)13:34
mungojerrythe only media i look at is sd card and usb sticks13:34
dogmatic69does this look like a "SSLCACertificateFile" https://search.thawte.com/library/VERISIGN/ALL_OTHER/thawte%20ca/SSL123_CA_Bundle.pem13:35
mungojerrymaybe they should start printing the news on the inside of nappies, since that is where i seem to spend most time13:35
screen-xmungojerry: maybe you should sitdown with directhex, drink rum and read the news13:35
dogmatic69seems like that is needed for the ssl to work properly?13:35
mungojerryare all questions compulsory?13:35
BigRedSreligion isn't13:35
BigRedSbut otherwise I think so13:35
mungojerrydo they ask if you are a homosexual vegan druid like my recent employer survey13:36
screen-xdogmatic69: looks like SSLCertificateChainFile13:36
popeyco-worker just filled in a Bupa form13:36
popeyone field was very specific13:36
popey"Sex at birth"13:36
dogmatic69screen-x: ah, same thing, new directive from what ive read... so that text just goes all in one file and then "SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/it"13:37
Pendulumpopey: was there another question about "current sex"?13:37
mungojerrywere you born with a winkle? do you still have the winkle13:37
popeyno Pendulum13:37
screen-xdogmatic69: yeah13:38
dogmatic69man... it has thawpe or whatever in the details, but says its invalid13:39
dogmatic69even seems to be using the ssl middle part thing.. https://e6.geneo.co.uk/13:40
davmor2Pendulum: no but you would have miss, mrs and mr as give aways as to how you live your life ;)13:40
Pendulumdavmor2: fair enough :)13:40
popeydunno if it does actually13:41

DJonesI've no idea, I haven't bothered with it16:22
mungojerryits a swizz16:23
DJonesMaybe because Amazon is a commercial entity, they want you to put a card number etc in so that next time you accidentally click on something they can bill you directly16:23
mungojerryi suspect so16:23
mungojerryuninstalled their POC appstore16:24
DJonesI would guess that a large part of the apps will be duplicated in the android market anyway (if not all)16:25
mungojerryi haven't found an app worth buying yet in 12 months16:26
gordiv bought loads of stuff on the android market16:27

popeyits US only16:28

gordback in the initial prototyping days of unity we had proper webapp support - webapps were basically just another application, it was fun16:42
popeylol16:42
mungojerrybah nothing fits on this screen16:42
gordchromium sucked too much though and no one had the chrome knowledge to fix it - firefox prism was broken in all sorts of stupid ways, so it was removed. damn shame16:43
mungojerrygord: is that what jolicloud do?16:44
gordmungojerry, not sure, never used jolicloud16:44
gordin the eyes of unity though, a webapp was no different from say, gedit though16:45
mungojerryi used to use it, and they had loads of useless prism apps that were slow. they switched to chrome but i wasn't interested in the web apps16:45
mungojerryi think thats the joli way. but i used it before html5 and offline use16:46
mungojerryso a bit pointless really16:46
popeymungojerry: no, its what peppermint does though16:46
mungojerryunity launcher isn't hiding when apps are fullscreen :(16:46

kaushalHi17:30
kaushalpopey: hi17:31
kaushalI saw your reply17:31
popeywhich one?17:31
kaushalpopey: please give me a moment17:33
kaushalsquid-deb-proxy-client17:34
kaushalnot sure i understand that17:34
popeywhat bit don't you understand?17:34
kaushalso do i need to populate the repositories17:35
kaushalI use deb-mirror as of now17:35
popeyYou need to no more than I said in the mail17:35
popeyinstall squid-deb-proxy on the server17:35
popeyinstall squid-deb-proxy-client on the clients17:35
popeythat's _it_17:35
screen-xavahi?17:35
kaushalok17:36
popeyyup17:36
screen-x\o/17:36
kaushalso there is no need of local ubuntu mirror ?17:36
popeycorrect17:36
kaushaloh ok17:36
popeyunless you really want/need one17:36
kaushalhow does it work ?17:37
kaushalso no need to edit sources.list ?17:37
popeycorrect17:37
popey17:35:38 < popey> that's _it_17:37
popeyhonestly, there is _nothing_ else to do17:37
popeyinstalling squid-deb-proxy on the server will install a specially configured squid proxy17:38
popeyand advertise it over avahi17:38
popeyinstalling squid-deb-proxy-client on the clients will configure them to look _first_ for the squid proxy via avahi17:38
popeyif they cant find it, they use whatever the sources.list says17:38
popeyso for me it's useful because when I am at home it uses the proxy, when I am at work (where there is no proxy) it just goes to the repos to get stuff17:39
popeybut the crucial point is I don't have to do anything when I travel from home to work17:39
kaushalso repos ?17:39
kaushalin office17:39
popeyno, i have no local repos at all17:39
kaushalpopey: the idea is to save bandwidth17:40
popeyyes17:40
kaushaldoes that solve it ?17:40
popeyyes17:40
kaushalI mean office network17:40
popeyif you have more than one machine running ubuntu, yes17:40
popeyyes17:40

kaushalI really appreciate it17:42
kaushal:)17:42
popeynp17:43
kaushalso once 11.04 is out17:43
kaushalit will hold true17:44
kaushalright ?17:44
kaushalso what does Avahi do technically ?17:45
* kaushal will read it again17:47
kaushalThanks anyways17:47
MartijnVdSkaushal: it does some magic with multicast17:47
popeykaushal: automatic discovery17:47
popeykaushal: it's so you don't have to tell each client where the proxy is, they figure it out17:48
MartijnVdSkaushal: avahi.org has more details on the protocol etc. (it's the same as Apple's bonjour :)17:48
popeyand windows's zeroconf17:48
popeyish17:48
MartijnVdSpopey: well not.. Windows doesn't use the same zeroconf stuff does it?17:48
MartijnVdSI always need 2 protocols because MS couldn't be bothered to implement an RFC standard17:49
kaushalpopey: ok17:49
ali1234avahi is an implementation of the apple stuff17:49
popeyah17:49
kaushalMartijnVdS: Thanks for the explanation17:49
MartijnVdSali1234: no, they're both implementations of RFC3927 :)17:49
MartijnVdSwait17:49
screen-xerm..17:49
MartijnVdSRFC3927 IS implemented by windows17:49
MartijnVdSDNS-SD and mDNS are Apple-specific.. you're right17:50
* MartijnVdS slaps self17:50
ali1234microsoft uses upnp17:50
MartijnVdSThere's DNSSD/mDNS (APple), SSDP/UPnP (MS) and SLP (IETF)17:50
MartijnVdSand they're all incompatible \o/17:50
shaunothought slp was effectively dead17:51
ali1234upnp is effectively dead since the standard was so vague no two upnp devices will work together17:51
screen-xupnp is scary17:52
shaunooh well.  good thing apples' works ;)17:53
X3NUPnP wasn't a MS project17:53
smittixcan anyone connect to http://aptgetmoo.co.uk ?17:54
screen-xsmittix: wfm17:54
X3NIt's a consortium of companies in the upnp forum17:54
MartijnVdSX3N: yay standards-by-committee17:54
X3Nindeed17:54
smittixBah must be my DNS17:54
* screen-x wants a thinkpad x220, but lenovo don't want to sell them yet :(17:56
X3NI'd say it does work too, most home routers use upnp, and av stuff works but there is a varying amount of how much of the specification has been implemented17:57
screen-xX3N: its when upnp works that its most scary, you find that your router has opened ports for stuff like vnc, which you really didnt want exposed.17:57
X3Nalso the problem with av stuff is it's heavily dependant on matching codecs17:58
MartijnVdSX3N: and it's hard to figure out which codecs are supported17:58
MartijnVdSexcept from docs written by the marketing dept17:58
shaunoI find the whole thing of opening ports is only a problem because people have somehow decided that NAT is a firewall17:58
X3Nwell, that should be done by DNLA profiles, but in practice yeah, it's hit and miss17:59
X3Nplus most people's media is either drm'ed, pirated or uses expensive codecs17:59

smittixIs Identica any good?18:56
moreatismittix: it has good reach in open source circles, outside that very few people use it.18:56
smittixmoreati: I'll give it a whirl18:57
brobostigonidenti.ca/ptaylor  ptaylor.status.net18:57
moreatismittix: In my opinion it has better architecture than twitter, but I wimped out and chose twitter because that's where the people are18:58
brobostigonmoreati: or like me, have both.18:58
brobostigonor three.18:58
moreatiI have an identica account, it may even still pull everything from twitter. I haven't checked it in months. brb18:59
smittixmeh, tried subscribing to brobostigon and got an error.19:01
brobostigonsmittix: which one?19:01
gordi find the days that my identica account isn't working on gwibber are more enjoyable...19:01
MartijnVdSgord: i.e. most days (knowing gwibber)19:02
smittixbrobostigon: identica19:02
brobostigongord: everything in gwibeer seems working other than twitter, so its one less thing to read,19:02

smittixbrobostigon: Does mine work? http://identi.ca/smittix19:10
brobostigonsmittix: worked fine, yes.19:11
smittixbrobostigon: Site problem by the looks of it - The database for Identi.ca isn't responding correctly, so the site won't work properly. The site admins probably know about the problem, but you can contact them at admin@status.net to make sure. Otherwise, wait a few minutes and try again.19:20
smittixI'll try later19:20
brobostigonsmittix: ok, i see, ohwel.19:21
smittixDont suppose anyone wants to help out with a website?19:24
Azelphursmittix: ask away *shrug19:25
smittixheh19:25
smittixActually be site staff..19:25
Azelphursmittix: work for free? doubt it unless it's a very special site :P19:25
smittixMore of a hobby19:26
brobostigonsmittix: which side of, hw software admin, or page maintence?19:26
smittixBasically mod the forums, write articles? that type of thing. Too much to do on my own really so need a partner.19:27
smittixif it even takes off that is.19:27
Azelphursmittix: generally you look for people after it even takes off and use someone from the community19:29
popeywhat is the site about?19:29
Azelphurspeaking as someone who has a large community with a few staff :p19:30

popeysmittix: the "welcome"?19:32
smittixpopey: Yeah?19:32
popeyyes19:32
popeyhence my comment!19:32
smittixI must of missed something, Because it says that a Open Source/Linux aggregator site is what it's _not_ going to be.19:33
ali1234what is it going to be then?19:33
ali1234if it moos like a duck...19:33
popeyexactly :)19:33
smittixali1234: What's that supposed to mean?19:34
brobostigonsmittix: youre challange is going to be, getting enough people, to write enough "original" content.19:34
popeycommunities don't just appear out of nowhere19:35
popeythey tend to grow around something19:35
ali1234actually i think they do19:35
popeywell, okay19:35
popeythey appear out of nowhere _around_ something :)19:35
ali1234you can't force it though19:35
popeyexactly19:35
ali1234no, i still disagree19:35
ali1234the community usually shows up first then someone says "maybe we should make a website"19:36
ali1234i mean just look at the mistakes nokia made with maemo19:36
ali1234this is a classic example of trying to force a community to happen19:37
ali1234and it pretty much was a complete failure19:37
brobostigonali1234: maemo was quite successful though, really,19:37
ali1234um yeah that's why they canned it :)19:37
ali1234have you ever been on, say, talk.maemo.org?19:38
ali1234it's not a nice place to be19:38
brobostigonali1234: i look atthe n800 and n900, and they are amazing,19:38
ali1234you have a small hardcore clique of people who love maemo19:38
brobostigonali1234: not in ages. i didntmuch like its design.19:38
ali1234and an enormous number of trolls19:38
moreatibrobostigon: nice product is not the same as nice community19:38
ali1234to the point where any newcomer is pretty much assumed to be a troll19:38
brobostigonmoreati: very true,19:39
popeyali1234: you're disagreeing with a point I didnt make19:39
popeymaybe I didnt articulate it well, but I'm not arguing with you19:39
brobostigonali1234: i didntlook at it that closesly. i just did what i had to do, and work out, and left.19:39
ali1234anyway this is a direct result of trying to plan out a community ahead of time19:40
smittixI tried creating a "how to" site called ubuntuhow back in 2008 but got turned down by canonical19:41
ali1234i see canonical doing a lot of the same things as nokia did with maemo19:42
ali1234i mean, by definition any community that involves a "community manager" is broken in my opinion19:42
czajkowskiali1234: why do you say that ?19:43
ali1234since the very existence of such a role indicates that someone somewhere doesn't want to be part of the community, therefore they created this role to do it for them19:43
czajkowskiali1234: most open source communities have one19:43
smittixDoes anyone know how OMGUbuntu got away with using "Ubuntu" in the domain name?19:43
czajkowskiali1234: no their role is to help people in the community be a part of the community and have a place in it19:43
czajkowskismittix: there are lots of domains out there with the name Ubuntu, Canonical dont own the word.19:44
czajkowskiUbuntu.ie is an example off the top of my head19:44
ali1234czajkowski: well in maemo the community manager acted as a conduit between nokia and the community19:44
popeysmittix: how do you mean "get away with"?19:44
popeysmittix: there are plenty of non-canonical non-official websites with ubuntu in the name19:44
czajkowskiali1234: that was their role, commercial and the development of maemo.19:45
smittixpopey: I was told by Canonical that i actually couldnt use the word "ubuntu" in my domain name?19:45
ali1234smittix: there's your problem. you should have just done it :)19:46
ali1234this is another prblem that happens when communities are controlled/designed19:46
popeysmittix: depends how you use it19:47
ali1234everyone constantly seeks approval/permission because "we wouldn't want <company X> to pull out of the community"19:47
popeyhaving ubuntu in the name isnt actually that helpful19:47
ali1234as a result the community is paralysed if <company X> never communicates19:47
czajkowskidanfish: you alive19:50
smittixah well, I will see how it goes.19:51
smittixJust wanted to build a helpfull community where newbies don't get flamed for asking stupid questions like so many other sites out there.19:52
ali1234i don't know of any ubuntu sites where that is true19:52
popey+119:53
* brobostigon shakes fist at libdrm and xorg-intel and gpu hung, :(19:53
czajkowskismittix: I dont think that's the case in the Ubuntu community, most people are very friendly and patient19:53
popeyuh19:53
smittixczajkowski: I didn't say in the ubuntu community.19:54
czajkowskismittix: I know I was just pointing out that it's one of the comuities out there it doesnt happen19:54
popeysmittix: where do you see that happening?19:54
ali1234fedora otoh...19:54
popeyali1234: is that the case? or you being funny? :)19:55
smittixIRC Channels and Websites of other well known distro's19:55
ali1234popey: go to #fedora and ask a silly question, see what happens...19:55
popeyfedora is a bit different though19:55
popeynot designed for end users19:55
smittixThe way the ubuntu community is, is probably why im still using it.19:55
MartijnVdSpopey: did you see the Gnome 3 post on lwn?19:56

MartijnVdSpopey: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/433409/4717f5f421b6bad3/19:56
ali1234i think it is rather silly to say that some distribution is not designed for end users...19:57
popeyoh golly19:57
popeythats their opinion, not mine19:57
ali1234all distributions by definition are designed for users19:57
