[00:06] grrrr, locked out now for some reason [00:09] hamitron: debugging obsfucated code is fun :D [00:14] :) [01:05] sddfkljhsdaldfhnasdnkjn [01:05] hamitron: keyboard test? [01:06] no, just in a bad mood [01:06] was that or the mouse was gonna meet the wall [01:07] just had cops round, so kinda hyped up [01:07] hamitron: :o! What happened?! [01:08] sisters mobile is still registered at this address, and she had to phone the police because of her bf beating her (again) [01:08] seems someone was talking abut TuxGuitar earlier! I use that! [01:08] hamitron: ouch :( [01:08] don't need them calling around, not even knowing the name of who called [01:09] really high stress [01:09] can imagine! [01:09] once they confirmed it was her, and we gave the other address, they won't even contact us to let us know she is safe [01:10] hamitron: not wonderful [01:10] lucky, this time he hadn't broken her phone [01:10] so we could contact her [01:10] but last time her phone was smashed and we were in the dark [01:11] cba to fix my vps I broke now [01:11] so just gonna try chill [02:26] hamitron: play starcraft 2 with me and my mate :D [02:31] HazRPG: don't own it [02:31] :) [02:31] but ty for offer [02:32] I got a trial key for steam, but it is a huge download [02:32] so not bothered [02:35] hamitron: new xkcd is in 3D!!!!! [02:35] :o!!!!!!!!! [02:35] this is FREAKY! [02:38] xkcd? [02:38] hamitron: .... your kidding right? [02:38] no... [02:38] hamitron: hit it! http://xkcd.com [02:38] web comic for geeks :) [02:39] so epic! [02:39] I am not a geek ;) [02:40] hamitron: lies ;) [02:40] I just never got into all these "geek interests" [02:40] tbh, I consider myself more of an engineer in general, than an IT guy [02:42] hamitron: then you'll love xkcd! [02:42] it has physic! [02:42] science! [02:42] IT stuffs! [02:43] the time wasted reading comics, can be spent doing something useful [02:43] the only problem is I tend to spend that time moaning instead [02:43] but... but... [02:43] well what are you doing now? [02:43] exactly! [02:43] hit the link :D [02:43] installing ubuntu [02:43] ;/ [02:43] hit it... [02:43] hittttt itttttt [02:47] busy [02:47] and off to bed soon [02:47] considering getting the new IL-2 game coming out [02:47] 128 player online! [02:49] hamitron: get sc2 ;( [02:51] I always played C&C more [02:51] but lost interest in that series with all the DRM [03:25] coophi: finally! [03:25] oh hai [03:26] probably a good idea to register your nick now [03:26] if it isn't already [03:26] /msg nickserv help [03:27] told you it needed to drop the 'e' :P [03:28] I said yeah [03:28] *eye roll* [03:28] * HazRPG pokes hamitron, shauno to see if there is any activity [03:30] coophi: when was the last time your used irc? [03:31] coophi: in fact... what was the last client for irc you use to use dude? [03:31] lol LOOONG time ago [03:31] the name escapes me.. it was the javascript one for a-eng though [03:32] 8-) [03:32] i never used the client coz i was never logged into it when i was at home [03:32] heh [03:32] I use to use mIRC back in 1998 [03:37] coophi: do a whois on me [03:53] how does one go about getting a mask on irc again? (other than via tunnels, vps, etc) [04:37] hi [04:37] good morning! [04:38] mornin ^^ [04:41] szymon_g: sup dude [04:41] wassup ;) [04:41] hm... that unity is quite nice btw [04:42] i've installed it yesterday, seems to be ok [04:42] (apart from fact, that when i've resumed from hibernation, all side icons were gone) [04:42] still in alpha/beta [04:42] check to see if there's a bug :) [04:43] if not, file one! \o/ [04:44] hm... i didn't even know where to report it. anyway- it works fine now. and i thought Unity is stable now? /ubuntu 10.10/ [04:54] unity 2D is stable [04:55] Unity 3D (aka the one being created for narwal 11.04) isn't yet [04:55] when I say unity 2D, I mean the one that's been used on the netbook editions of ubuntu for a while [04:57] szymon_g: btw, bugs get filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity [04:58] if you look on there, unity is far from stable [04:58] slowly getting there though [05:03] szymon_g: does this sound about right: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/609472 [05:03] Ubuntu bug 609472 in unity (Ubuntu) "After resume, all the launcher icons are white boxes" [Medium,Triaged] [05:10] yeap, thats that [05:10] thanx HazRPG lubotu3 [05:10] hehe lubotu3 automatically just repeats any bug numbers to tell you what the bug is [05:11] try typing the bug number and you'll see what I mean [05:11] ... ;) [05:12] 609472 [05:12] ... :| [05:12] * szymon_g has to go to bed [05:12] se ya! [05:12] *see ya [05:28] hmm [05:28] #609472 [05:28] random... [05:32] mornin [05:36] yo ^^ [07:03] morning all [07:03] \o [07:03] I need to go trash my car now [07:04] sleepy time [07:21] AlanBell: trash it why? [07:22] also, mornin' guys :) [07:22] MartijnVdS: o/ [07:26] morning HazRPG [07:28] how's it going? [07:28] Just woke up.. reading some of Linus' rants on LKML [07:28] ("RAAAH ARM MAINTAINERS") [07:29] lol [07:29] HazRPG: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/17/492 (not family-safe, maybe) [07:29] (it _is_ a Linus rant) [07:33] xD [07:34] even linus himself gets pi**ed off ;) [07:34] HazRPG: often [07:34] heh [07:34] good reasons for I'm guessing though [07:35] yes, but there are other ways of getting your point across [07:35] its one thing to release your code, and its another thing to release and find many people trying to screw it up [07:35] I agree though, but its funny xD [07:35] Shouting obscenities works.. but people will remember just the obscenities. [07:36] didn't realise you subbed to lkml [07:37] any reason for ? Or just generally nosey at what's happening in the community? [07:37] I don't [07:37] But some of those "shouting matches" get posted to reddit :) [07:37] ah [07:37] lol [07:38] is reddit actually any good? [07:38] shauno: http://i.imgur.com/z5cDb.jpg [07:39] HazRPG: it's a great time sink (beware) [07:39] every time I look at it, it just looks like another digg to me [07:39] oh dear [07:39] shauno: he awakens! [07:39] \o/ [07:40] guessing you weren't on the night shift last night then [07:44] But some of those "shouting matches" get posted to reddit :) [07:44] uhm [07:44] http://hurrdurr.it/#url=http://www.ubuntu-uk.org [07:45] upnp support in rhythmbox sucks [07:47] MartijnVdS: this is better :) http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/albuquerque [07:48] Jibadeeha: s/upnp support in // [07:48] ftfy [07:48] lol [07:49] HazRPG: I know the lyrics. All of them. [07:49] MartijnVdS: :P same [07:49] Hey mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut? [07:49] wacka wacka doo doo yeahhhhhhhhh [07:52] MartijnVdS: You got any jelly doughnuts? [07:52] HazRPG: No, we're out of jelly doughnuts. [07:53] that'd explain why it's doritos for breakfast [07:53] MartijnVdS: You got any Bavarian cream filled doughnuts? [07:54] shauno: \o/ [07:54] HazRPG: No, we're out of Bavarian cream filled doughnuts! [07:54] shauno: I had the half a burger for breakfast from last night, technically... lol [07:55] MartijnVdS: Cinnamon rolls? [07:55] No [07:55] MartijnVdS: apple fritters!? [07:55] * MartijnVdS goes check [07:57] :P [07:58] "Besides, now he's got a really cute nickname: Torsoboy" [08:05] everyone Jamming later? [08:06] Jamming? [08:06] global jamming [08:06] and I hope you like jamming too [08:07] *insert bob marley song here* [08:12] AlanBell: hmm, is there something for the whole day? (looks at email again) [08:13] there are sessions at various random times [08:14] but I think we will take a pirates code approach to the timetable [08:14] tis more of a guideline than an actual law. Arrrrrrr [08:14] heh :P [08:14] just lookin' at the 10AM stuff [08:15] I think I have most of that down by now [08:15] minus maybe the wiki personal page [08:15] yeah, we put that one up front to help people get started [08:15] oh, well perfect, you can do that bit then [08:15] I keep meaning to! [08:15] I just never know how to describe myself >_< [08:16] or etc [08:18] fine, getting over hurdles like that is *exactly* what this is about [08:51] willy_1977: you'll need to drag yourself into the main channel ("Global Jam") otherwise no one will here you [08:51] oh, has it connected now... [08:52] it was doing it's thing this end for ages ;) [08:52] thanks HazRPG [08:52] willy_1977: no problem :) [08:52] nope client crash :( [08:52] willy_1977: alt. you can double-click on "global jam" and it'll do the same effect :) [08:53] some weird stuff going on here, so will reboot and be back shortly ;) [08:53] AlanBell: isn't there a way to make a channel the default one? [08:53] willy_1977: no problem :) [08:55] AlanBell: I'm not sure how you've set it up, but this is one way of doing it: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/MurmurCL#Setting_a_default_channel [09:09] AlanBell: Just found an alternative to that method, depending on how you've setup mumble (either to use sqlite as the database, etc)... you just need to change/add the records in the "config" table as: server_id = 1; key = "defaultchannel"; value = id_number_of_channel (should be 0); [09:10] I use an sqlite browser to add/remove stuff in mine, however I'm sure there's a terminal tool for the same job [09:11] just food for thought, since I'm sure the whole channel thing might be confusing to some [09:18] heh, I'm use to doing this in windows [09:19] managed to find the database though, its found in /var/lib/mumble-server/mumble-server.sqlite [09:23] don't you hate it when you've had something working perfectly well and then on the day when you need it... [09:24] yup! [09:24] mumble - All I have is an unresponsive app after hitting connect (I've tried both hostnames) [09:25] ok, time to think logically I guess :) [09:25] check the port number :) [09:25] hang on, it says your in channel though [09:26] hmmmm... [09:26] did you hear anything just then? [09:26] nope... [09:27] port number is: 64738 [09:27] btw [09:28] Should have gone now? [09:28] yeah [09:29] hmm interesting mumble was going fine but the gui is getting hung up on itself... [09:29] try removing it and installing it again [09:30] will do - next on the list... it seems to get caught up when trying to sort SSL out... [09:31] didn't realise it did SSL stuff [09:32] willy_1977: might also be worth adding the ppa for the latest version of mumble (1.2.3) which is the version I'm running on [09:33] I *think* this is going to install 1.2.3-1ubuntu6 (mumble) [09:33] hmm [09:34] didn't realise they'd updated it on the ubuntu repo [09:34] the one I'm rolling with is 1.2.3-1~ppa~maverick1 (mumble) [09:34] although both sound similar [09:35] true, I'll see if this works... if it does I may have been a complete numpty... more to follow on that if so :) [09:35] :P [09:36] right I'm going to scavenge some food from the kitchen somewhere [09:36] bbl [09:36] kk [09:36] oh, btw, says your on the server again (just thought I'd let you know) [09:37] thanks... flipping thing... [09:59] morning all [10:07] morning, still having mumble issues here :( [10:11] just restarting the mumble server to give it more memory and a default channel [10:11] Ok, I think I'm having issues with my firewall etc. tbh. [10:11] ok, we can get that sorted [10:12] *routers firewall [10:12] some noncey firmware on there that I haven't figured out yet... [10:12] * danfish will be joining in later - the normal Saturday morning kids stuff first ;) [10:13] willy_1977: ok, so you need to get outbound TCP access to the default mumble port [10:14] AlanBell: yep, so far I can open a set range of ports e.g. ssh, telnet etc. but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to add services / ports :( [10:14] I'm not quite sure what's changed because as you know it was working the other night. [10:14] willy_1977: on most domestic routers outbound ports should be open anyway [10:14] :/ [10:15] ah, ok, so is it just outbound it needs then? [10:18] yup [10:18] hmmm maybe then my suspicions on firewall were incorrect [10:18] port 64738, but it shouldn't be an issue [10:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HazRPG [10:23] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LeeWilliams is me... ;) [10:23] \o/ [10:25] yeah I've been meaning to ask what does \o/ mean then? [10:26] willy_1977, What version of ubuntu are you using? [10:26] person waving both hands in the air [10:26] o/ <- waving one hand [10:26] AlanBell: thought as much [10:26] Daviey: 11.04 [10:27] willy_1977, Ah... are you fully up to date on updates? [10:27] thought I was, will check now. [10:28] I found mumble unusable for months under Natty... only recently has it worked better with the UI. [10:28] * willy_1977 fetches coat [10:29] I'm beginning to doubt myself a little then :) but I could've sworn it was working on 11.04 the other night... [10:29] There was a known, "minimize and lose it forever" issue aswell. [10:36] jamespage, here for the JAM? :) [10:37] * willy_1977 we're jammin' [10:37] jamespage1, here for the JAM? :) [10:37] oops, did I break the server? [10:38] AlanBell: seems that way! [10:46] I've just had a automatic bug report come through when exiting the update-manager gui , it appears to have been logged before is there anyway I can attach my info to that bug, i.e. does the auto reporting tool store it's reports and if so where? [10:55] Hi all, we are now moving on to sorting out the wiki pages http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/ListOfUKTeamPages [10:55] good morning everyone. [10:56] sorry i am late. [10:56] brobostigon: good morning :) [10:56] HazRPG: goodmorning, :) [10:56] let mefire mumble up. [10:57] sure :) [10:58] Update my wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HazRPG [11:10] HazRPG: You should add "Future plans for Ubuntu: Remove unity" [11:10] xD [11:14] MartijnVdS: or, replace with gnome3. :) [11:15] brobostigon: or that. [11:15] For now, I'm sticking to classic [11:15] ♥ panels [11:17] :) [11:33] * jacobw likes Unity === gary_ is now known as Guest39961 [11:38] agrees ♥ panels :) [11:38] classic ftw [11:41] HazRPG: Stuff you have done -- set up an IPv6 tunnel ;) [11:41] :P [11:41] ta :) [11:42] setup ipv6 routing. [11:42] that as well [11:42] setup a radvd,whatever description fits. [11:42] addr advertising ? [11:43] yeah :) [11:45] updated, how does that look :) [11:54] HazRPG: let me check, oneminute. [11:59] HazRPG: looks good, :) [12:00] brobostigon: thanks :) [12:02] HazRPG: :) [12:02] HazRPG: youre welcome. [12:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/743486 [12:14] Ubuntu bug 743486 in calibre "library/server/ doesn't listen on ipv6" [Undecided,Fix released] [12:17] HazRPG, Have you undergone the HE 'tasks'? [12:18] Daviey: erm...? The tests? [12:18] if so, then yeah :) [12:19] HazRPG, http://ipv6.he.net/certification/ [12:19] I certainly have :) [12:19] http://ipv6.he.net/certification/scoresheet.php?pass_name=hazrpg [12:29] Daviey: guessing you saw my blog post :) [12:30] HazRPG, yeah.. glad to see you used HE, rather than Sixxs [12:30] Daviey: I tried Sixxs a year or two ago, and well... I didn't like it, simply put [12:32] even tried miredo (ubuntu) and teredo (win machine) a few years back [12:32] So sixxs still have the uptime rules? [12:33] I think so [12:33] HazRPG, I really disliked sixxs for being complete asses. :) [12:33] * Daviey explains verbally. [12:37] sixxs dont have uptime rules with the way i connect ti them, [12:41] Yay, new laptop arrived and a live usb of natty works nicely on it [12:42] anyone around that's worked in translations for 3+ cycles? [12:42] Daviey: apparently tee's go out in batches I've been informed [12:42] ahh [12:42] HazRPG, I guess i should do my glue stuff then. [12:42] Daviey: indeed :) [12:47] hi from u^3 in Manchester [12:47] penguin42: howdy :D [12:48] Now to create recovery discs for win7, free up some space & install ubuntu [12:49] penguin42: U³ [12:49] Not U96 or U235 [12:49] DJones: hurrah \o/ [12:49] HazRPG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwc0shJ2aYc [12:50] MartijnVdS: that is random xD [12:50] No, that's U96 :) [12:53] Daviey: hopefully my blog post will help some others curious about ipv6 [13:11] * willy1977 is just setting a few more things up... [13:20] \o/ [13:20] for vnc n stuff [13:22] have got further it's asking me for a password for registered users? [13:22] *mumble I mean :) [13:22] hmm [13:23] as far as I know... there isn't one [13:23] agreed, there isnt. [13:23] what's the url for the mumble server then? in case I've got the wrong one? [13:23] mumble.libertus.co.uk [13:24] port 64738 [13:36] http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/StorageManagement [13:39] Almost ready to install ubuntu, should I go with 32 or 64 bit & 10.10 or 11.04 beta, decisions, decisions ...., its nice to have to make decisions like this [13:41] DJones, probably 10.10 but you'll probably want to reinstall 11.04 in a month's time [13:42] sagaci: Just been trying 11.04, unity is going to take some getting used to [13:44] sagaci: I can do some bug testing as well, although I could do 10.10 and then try 11.04 in a vm [13:44] DJones, you can fallback to gnome 2.32.x [13:46] I've seen that, must admit I normally install/update once they hit beta, so I'll probably go with natty as the main install, now I've got a decent machine it'll be good to see what its capeable of [13:48] just expect hitches [13:48] HazRPG, yeah, it was a good blog post! [13:52] anyone else want to come and join in our Natty install over VNC? [13:52] vncviewer libertushost1.libertus.co.uk:5906 [13:53] password is ubuntuuk [13:53] and join the mumble thing to talk about it as we go [13:53] the idea is to file bugs against the installer [13:55] I had a problem with the install when I checked the "Install this third-party software" - install did not complete [14:32] next session is at 16:00 going through the Natty install with the screenreader option and filing bugs [14:44] * BigRedS claims that inistence upon swap partition is a bug [14:47] does it actually demand one now? I thought it used to just pop up a warning making sure you know what you're doing [14:51] yeah, it warns, but it makes it sound like it's a terribly bad idea [14:51] is it a terribly bad idea? [14:51] yes [14:51] :) [14:51] I think it should just ask how big a swap file you want somewhere along the way. I completely don't get the obsession with separate partitions for swap [14:52] especially since we don't put anything else in separate partitions by default, and swap gains the least from being on its own [14:52] where would you put the swap file? [14:52] ahhh... swap partition/file = virtual memory I see! [14:52] popey: / [14:52] Personally, probably just in /. That's where mine are [14:53] the idea always was that swap actually does gain a lot from being one contiguous region [14:53] I don't know if thre's a fhs opinion on it or something [14:54] swapd could be an interesting option one day. it doesn't seem to react fast enough when things go wrong tho [14:54] shauno: it is as a file, too; it's a contiguous file. [14:55] it's probably still the case that swap on a separate partition is faster; I'm also not sure the magic in hibernation [14:55] penguin42: its not [14:56] Popular opinion seems to be that on a separate opinion 'makes sense' for some reson, as far as easily seeing what's going on [14:57] But I think that, especially for new desktop users, everything-in-one-partition would be a handy thing to be able to do [14:57] (and I suspect the seeing what's going on argument is based on the tradition of having a swap partiton) [14:57] it does make sense for people who upgrade RAM [14:58] who want/have to resize their swap space [14:58] although, i believe they're toying with the idea of hiding the hibernate option entirely in natty [14:58] because it's slow and rarely works [14:58] I don't think I've ever resized a swap file, I suspect it's non-trivial (but the non-trivia can be done all behind the scenes) [14:59] yeah, resuming from hibernate takes longer than a cold boot [14:59] hibernation is for bears... [14:59] hah [14:59] hahaha [14:59] as long as the swap file doesn't dynamicly grow/shrink (except in explicit cases like memory size changing) i'v always felt that it makes more sense over a fixed partition [15:00] no matter the OS it's just painful in my experience anyhow... [15:01] yeah, I thought it was unique to Linux, but then I tried it on a windows box and that was even worse [15:01] I was happy :) [15:01] i have to use an sd card as a swap parition on this netbook, because you can't change the partition layout in order to create a swap partition inside it :( [15:01] * BigRedS wanders off to file a wishlist bug [15:03] argh. One day I'll get the hang of launchpad [15:04] is Ubiquity the name of the installer? [15:05] I'm not sure you can resize a swap file. swapoff filename, change the filesize (however you like), mkswap & swapon it [15:05] is there not less overhead having the swap on a partition, because it is formated accordingly? [15:05] a swapfile is formatted accordingly internally [15:06] yeh, but it must still use ext4 or whatever the filesystem is? [15:06] it is like 2 layers of filesystems [15:06] the only additional overhead from a swapfile over a swap partition is potential fragmentation, otherwise after the first stat and file open, there is no additional overhead [15:07] arguably it shouldn't matter [15:07] you shouldn't be using it [15:07] hamitron: no, the kernel doesn't use the fs [15:07] so how does ext fs know where each section of a file is? [15:08] http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/7/326 [15:08] is the most succinct an explanation I've found. [15:09] so the has it's own map of the swap file locations etc.? [15:09] *the kernel [15:10] yeah [15:10] it accesses it essentially as it does a swap partition [15:10] that was nice and concise ;) [15:10] so in theory, a larger swap will mean using more memory? [15:10] on a linear relationship [15:11] no? [15:11] I'd have thought you'd just need a start / end location address? [15:11] or similar [15:11] yeah, assuming it's contiguous [15:12] I suppose that if it's not you'd need a start and offset for each fragment [15:13] so a heavily fragmented would [15:13] if that is how it is done [15:13] yeah, which is why you create the file at install time, or at least on a very young system [15:13] yup, and if you have to add to it, that's when the irk begins (which BigRedS mentioned could be done behind the scenes :/) [15:14] think I'll just stick to a partition, easier [15:14] :/ [15:14] two answers there. either don't add to it (you can create a second swapfile & use both), or fix the cause instead of the symptom, and find out why you've living in swap [15:15] It just seems dumb that we've already moved all the other traditionally-separate-partitions onto the same as /, but the one with little technical merit in being separate is still an additional partiton [15:15] creating a second swap file and using both is fragmentating ;) [15:15] shauno: the current argument for having swap at all is generally hibernation [15:15] BigRedS: you don't have seperate partitions? [15:15] and we've already established hiberantion is the devil. [15:15] trying to expand an existing file is going to be fragmented too [15:16] is it sane to have no swap? [15:16] hamitron: I do, but IIRC the installer defaults to most-in-one if not all-in-one? [15:16] then you have no swap fragmentation [15:16] ;) [15:16] hamitron: yeah, generally if you're using swap you've problems outside of the efficiency of swap [15:16] I think a second swapfile on a lower priority would be saner than fragmenting your only swapfile [15:16] and you should be fixing those rathe rthan optimising swap [15:17] depends on your definition of "using swap" [15:17] yeah, and what the system is doing [15:17] shauno, actually no, if your using ext4 or such and just swapoff , make new larger swap file, swap on, you should be fine. its clever enough [15:17] using could mean "space allocated" or "blocks in/out per second" [15:17] blocks in/out is what matters [15:18] gord: is that intelligence in ext4 or in mkswap? [15:18] ext4 isn't clever at all :/ it just contains the fragmentation to roughly the same physically area of the disk [15:18] BigRedS, ext4 - using extents [15:19] if you say "i want a file and it will be this size" then it'll find the largest free space to put it in to avoid fragmentation [15:20] too complex [15:20] :/ [15:20] KISS and use a seperate partition [15:20] ;) [15:21] or drive [15:25] how good is ext4 when you run low on free space then? [15:26] I'm not sure anything's good when you run low on disk :/ [15:26] hehe [15:26] that explains why I always hurt then [15:27] I do try to store data on a different partition though [15:28] I refuse to budge from some old habbits [15:28] seperate /boot too :/ [15:28] not even sure if there is any advantage for the boot partition now [15:29] just stops me getting greedy with the number of kernels I keep installed :) [15:32] * brobostigon prods pitivi, ormight have to resort to using blender. [15:39] * penguin421 yaawwwnns [15:40] brobostigon, does pitivi still not work well? [15:41] hamitron: given your love for older machines, /boot may still be useful for you. iirc it was a trick to make sure kernels lived without a given cylinder boundary from when harddrives were growing faster than bioses [15:41] er, *live within [15:42] gord: very badly. yes. [15:42] before the 1024th [15:42] yeh [15:42] gord: doesnt work at all for video from mant video cameras [15:42] redhat 6.0 was fine with LBA32 passed to lilo though [15:43] * brobostigon uses blender insted, and gives up on pitivi [15:44] when you get kernel updates in ubuntu, does it automatically ask to remove the older ones eventually? [15:44] no [15:45] so what happens to a newb who doesn't know there is even such a thing as a kernel? [15:46] hamitron: He goes on the Internet and educate himself to the ranks of Jedi Master. [15:46] ;] [15:46] hamitron, computer janitor will remove old kernels. [15:47] ugh that sucks [15:47] :)) [15:50] what is normal dvd framerate? [15:50] anyways, I'm gonna go do something useful, rather than look for problems that don't affect me [15:51] the issues done affect the newb user [15:51] newb users aren't tainted with legacy ways like creating /boot partitions [15:51] a fresh unbiased mind. [15:52] I was thinking more having 500mb used with old kernels [15:52] ;) [15:53] 500MB is not worth thinking about [15:53] :-o [15:53] mr popey is wasteful [15:53] ;/ [15:53] hardly [15:53] 500mb is huge [15:54] /dev/sda5 207G 138G 59G 71% / [15:54] i wouldn't notice [15:55] filling up /boot can be a real problem [15:55] /dev/sda1 251M 47M 192M 20% /boot [15:56] I don't believe the installer recommends a /boot anymore? so it's only a problem if you opt for it :) [15:57] exactly [15:57] I don't see a reason to keep bazillion old kernels. Current and previous is probably sensible. [15:57] could be a problem for something with a 160gb hard drive and 150gb of data [15:57] shauno: Not everyone does what installer recommends ;p [15:57] that 500mb is just.... [15:58] delete stuff [15:58] don't be a hoarder [15:59] or you could delete unused kernels [15:59] matti: understood :) I just figure if you tell the installer you know better, then you gotta follow thru on that [15:59] maybe under some "system clean" or something [15:59] that's what janitor is [15:59] where is that? [16:00] (insert someone who uses gnome here) [16:00] :) [16:00] i have about 6 or 7 unused kernel on my eeepc right now, as i am experimenting with different kernel versions, for the gpu lockup/hang bug. [16:00] shauno: Janitor is -- in my opinion -- dangerous. [16:01] matti: purging old kernels automatically isn't very safe either. it's sane to keep trusted kernels around during upgrades. it's less easy for the updater to evaluate 'trusted' [16:01] 2.6.37 is evil! purge 2.6.37! [16:01] going to start the screen reader install shortly [16:02] shauno: With things like dkms and other bits with do magic after you upgrade / downgrade the kernel. [16:02] AlanBell: sorry, i wont be able to be there, i have things to sort out here, [16:02] shauno: A lot of things may break when you fall-back to previous kernel. [16:02] shauno: Binary closed source drivers are a good example. [16:03] they do? [16:03] I don't think automatic removel is good either, but some popup on reboot after kernel upgrade maybe? [16:03] yeah, would be nice if it kept a track of successful reboots [16:03] they shouldn't :/ I'd expect dkms to put the new modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/, leaving previous versions untouched [16:04] and figured "You haven't used 2.6.old for 6 months, shall i remove it?" [16:04] shauno: That is not always the case. [16:04] exactly popey [16:04] shauno: I guess incremental kernel updates from mainstream Ubuntu are fine. [16:04] kernel tracker [16:05] shauno: But when you have something older and/or custom ... then things get messy. [16:06] so if I install a new kernel, device x no longer functions as expected, I can't trust rolling back to the previous kernel to be a sane option? [16:07] shauno: It works in 90% of cases. But when it breaks you have to manually fix it. [16:07] shauno: But, being up to date, and running recent Ubuntu is probably not a problem... [16:08] shauno: I have older system, and things do break a lot. Especially when they back-port ... [16:08] Hah ;] [16:10] "Hah"? ;) [16:10] that just sounds childish :D [16:10] hamitron: Hehe. [16:10] hamitron: I am not really a grown up ;p [16:11] * matti is running 9.10 ... [16:11] I guess this makes me quite out of date? [16:11] ;/ [16:11] ATI drivers? [16:11] No, Ubuntu release. [16:11] why run 9.10? [16:11] That makes you OLD :) [16:11] even I am upgrading to 10.04 now, and I am a stick in the mud [16:12] ;/ [16:12] It does not look like 9.10 any more. [16:12] I have custom most of the things. [16:12] afternoon :) [16:12] how long does it have security updates? [16:12] MartijnVdS: I guess so. [16:12] or does it? [16:12] ;/ [16:12] hamitron: I back-port when needed. [16:12] so what is your reason? [16:13] hamitron: I also have custom kernel. [16:13] hamitron: I can't be asked to put all these customizations back after new fresh install. [16:13] hamitron: It took me some time to get my notebook working as I like. [16:14] hamitron: Purely because I never have the time to do it. [16:14] hamitron: Keep posponing upgrades to ... "Maybe next week..." ;p [16:14] I understand that feeling [16:15] but that is why I use LTS releases ;) [16:15] hamitron: But then you want something more recent... [16:15] hamitron: So you mix and match and hack'n'slash things. [16:15] you're stuck on 9.10? LTS _is_ more recent [16:16] slightly [16:16] hamitron: And then you realise that it will be hard to port all of this onto something new ;p [16:16] shauno: Me or hamitron? [16:16] * matti either builds his own or gets things from Squeeze. [16:16] matti: i'd have still put the effort into getting upto 10.04, then good for 3 years [16:17] matti: so debian stable? [16:17] debian is hardly modern ;) [16:17] brobostigon: That is hard to say ;p [16:18] but I suppose, that is best thing about linux as a whole, you can do wtf you want [16:18] matti: :) [16:18] brobostigon: I cannot really put what I've done under a common umbrella ;] [16:18] hamitron: Precisely ;] [16:18] still think you are crazy ;) [16:18] matti: i know what you mean, after abasic cli install, i play about with things alot. [16:19] hamitron: :P [16:19] hamitron: I have my Mattinux, I guess. [16:19] dull, matt like [16:19] ;D [16:20] matti: my natty install, is pretty much a botch between standerd natty and gnome3 and a few other bit and pieces. [16:20] Pfff ;p [16:20] !natty [16:20] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [16:20] brobostigon: :) [16:20] that is kinda new [16:20] :) [16:21] hamitron: i agree, i lived with debian sid/unstable for quite a while, so this is little risk compared, [16:23] yeh :) [16:23] well, I am still on debian 5.0 [16:23] ;) [16:23] bug 748352 [16:23] Launchpad bug 748352 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "broken partial network manager icon at top of screen" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/748352 [16:26] i see that occasionally [16:26] i think [16:26] oh no, i see something completely different [16:26] bug 748359 [16:26] Launchpad bug 748359 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Londo (Congo, Democratic Republic of The (general), Democratic Republic of the Congo) repeated three times in location listing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/748359 [16:28] bug 748361 [16:28] Launchpad bug 748361 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "firefox not default browser when clicking links in installer slideshow" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/748361 [16:37] oh that one is fun [16:41] what an epic day [16:42] in what way Myrtti?

[17:29] *twittttch* [17:41] Haha, I'm working today :( [17:41] Admittedly, from a bench in the garden :) [17:42] I'm at the office, but it's all good because I've already filled today's crazy quota [17:45] Spare time seems like a luxury nowadays ;] [17:48] not sure myself. I mean, train-spotters still exist .. [17:49] Hahah [17:50] This reminded me about my friend from work... he uses every single spare minute to play WoW. [17:52] that was me until not so long ago :/ [17:53] Oh. [17:54] * brobostigon needs to learn to use blenders video editing again.

[18:14] I have no idea. [18:16] zleap: we have been fixing wiki pages, filing bugs against Natty installer [18:16] cool [18:16] and I am just doing a runthrough of some of the Accessible installer options [18:17] sounds good then [18:17] and filing *masses* of bugs against that [18:17] AlanBell, you not doing that on mumble? [18:17] willy1977: I did go through it on mumble [18:17] :/ [18:17] then turned mumble off and went through it doing a clean recording [18:18] poo [18:18] missed that then... [18:18] well feel free to have a go in a VM or something on your machine [18:18] I will upload my video later [18:19] I'll check out the vid - I just wonder what went on with mumble... hmmm [18:20] can you hear me? [18:20] nope nowt... [18:20] I'll try reconnecting. [18:20] I could hear you a bit [18:21] ok so can't connect again now... [18:22] must be my not so good connection then... [18:25] say something [18:25] hello to you too [18:26] is your volume muted somewhere? [18:26] not that I can see... are you talking now? [18:27] when I am red I am talking [18:27] that's just it you're little lips aren't going red anymore :( [18:35] ok, next session at 8PM [18:35] going through the election process and getting that ready for the wiki page [18:42] Evening all [18:43] Anyone know a good ADSL modem that'll just do PPPoE from a cable router? [18:43] ADSL2+ modem, rather [18:51] uhm [18:51] Why not buy a PPPoE "normal" router then? [18:52] MartijnVdS: because I have a Linksys WRT610n with DD-WRT [18:52] and it's very nice. [18:52] Get a Fritz!Box 7340, it can switch from DSL to 3G if connection drops :) [18:52] so can my router [18:53] I'm not decomissioning my £120 Linux router :p [18:53] all I need is a modem and it's good to go :D [18:56] \o/ home! [18:57] http://blip.tv/file/4967179 [19:03] I'd be curious to see someone go thru that without the screen [19:09] I really don't like that it's reading out 'underscore' everywhere. it's reading out the name of the element? [19:14] yeah, it is a bit nasty [19:15] I have done it without looking at the screen in Lucid [19:16] not sure how it works on gnome; is there any hinting in the dialog that should suggest content to orca? [19:18] well kind of, try running orca and see what it does [19:18] there is an app which shows all the accessibilty events and hints [19:19] !info accerciser [19:19] accerciser (source: accerciser): an interactive Python accessibility explorer for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.11.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 1371 kB, installed size 4232 kB [19:24] I'll have to take a prod at that after dinner [19:26] I did the voiceover install on osx, thanks to the screen on my laptop being duff. there was a single page that tripped me up. not convinced I could have done the same with that walk thru [19:26] seems it'd have made more sense if it just read out the fields we see, rather than .. wherever it's getting underscore from all the time [19:33] I had one step that turned out to be a progress bar. but it didn't tell me that. nor did it read out the "now doing stuff" header. having absolutely zero feedback was incredibly frustrating [19:35] Yeah, that's not so hot is it... [19:44] Sucess, new laptop, ubuntu installed, /me sits back to install useful apps now [19:45] it strikes me that an install using debian-installer might work a lot better with a screen reader than a fancy GUI method [19:45] ali1234: yes, it probably would [19:47] *pokes* [19:47] seems I went from going for some food to actually sleeping on the sofa >_< lol [19:47] Aloha [19:48] hmm re: keyboard layout, do blind people have braille keyboards or are they all expert touch typers? [19:49] hi czajkowski [19:49] ali1234: they are *amazing* touch typists generally [19:49] but braille keyboards exist too [19:50] in the case of touch typing, all the questions about detecting kb layout are irrelevant [19:50] yes, it is pretty useless, just confusing if you end up in that section by accident [19:50] czajkowski: howdy [19:50] omg, why do you always have problems when you are relying on someone else? [19:50] :/ [19:50] * hamitron headbutts wall [19:51] czajkowski: have you been car shopping? [19:51] hamitron: Hmm? [19:51] my vps is broken [19:52] I'm after a way of debugging some PHP that's apparently not executing the SQL it should be without having to touch the code. Something like a PHP extension that gives me better logging? Anyone got any suggestions? [19:52] my node had updates on 29th, and now loads of hassle [19:52] hmm, seems I missed the natty install, but I do have like 6hrs worth of audio xD [19:54] AlanBell: nope [19:54] relaxing resting [19:54] not able to move [19:54] and now fighting with machine [19:55] BigRedS: if you can change .htaccess, http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/01/14/advanced-php-error-handling-via-htaccess/ may be useful. there's a lot of errorlevel & debug flags you can pass thru apache [19:56] shauno: Ah. I'm trying to work out why code that works under Apache/mod_php appears to not under lighttpd/cgi [19:57] now that sound fun. have you compared the output of phpinfo() between the two? [19:57] shauno: yeah. I've rebuilt the cgi binary to match the configure options as closely as possible, and the php.ini is just a cp of the tree apache uses [19:57] may give clues if there's different capabilities listed (or indeed, if they're pointing to different php.ini's) [19:58] I've just thought of pointing lighttpd to the same php as apache's using just to test [19:58] why didn't that occur to me before? [19:58] still, I do need it working under lighttpd and a non-dpkg php [20:00] does audacity convert ogg to wave or something? I Just got a messaging saying I've run out of space on / [20:01] audacity will uncompress the ogg into memory [20:02] that could still cause problems with a 6-hour ogg [20:02] 6hr ogg was fine... [20:03] because gotta remember its got blank spaces in between [20:03] it just didn't like me putting in ALL the ogg's I have [20:03] (one channel for each person) [20:04] silences are only cool when they're compress. if that's in pcm/wave in memory, that's going to be .. expensive [20:06] HazRPG, yeah it pretty much converts to wav and puts it in /tmp [20:07] http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UUKElectionProcess messing with this at the moment [20:07] 22k mono's going to be roughly 2.5meg/minute? so 6 hours would be 900Mb per person. 3600Mb per if it's 44k stereo. you're likely to run into some real limits of how many channels you can mux that way [20:08] I see [20:08] I knew I should have given /tmp its own partitions xD [20:08] audacity converts everything you add to the project to pcm for fast editing [20:09] it uses some custom file format for it [20:10] HazRPG, just mount it elsewhere ? [20:10] I wonder if you could do it with whatever the audiodaemon-de-jour is. 'play' a bunch of files at once, and point the output at | oggenc [20:16] exobuzz: hmm, never thought of that [20:17] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/oggz-merge.1.html this could be interesting [20:17] "Similarly, using oggz-merge on a collection of Ogg Vorbis audio files will create a big Ogg file with all the songs in parallel, ie. interleaved for simultaneous playback [20:19] (no promises, it's a google result not experience) [20:19] anyone here used unity 2d ? i might be being stupid but i cant work out how to add a new application to it heh [20:20] pretty unstable still. well i guess its still wip [20:21] exobuzz, definitely wip... I went back to classic :) [20:21] yeh. shame though since it could work well on this touchscreen device [20:22] i need to work out how to switch on compositing even though im using unity 2d too === MattJ100 is now known as MattJ [20:25] seems that its not advised/tested to run unity2d compiz. seems a mistake - they are assuming if you can run compiz then unity 3d will work, but there are gfxcards/drivers that compiz works but unity 3d doesnt [20:25] like the o2 joggler [20:25] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Elections does that look OK? [20:27] daubers: ^^ [20:28] why do ye mention the LCoC and the CoC ? [20:28] or snippets of it? [20:29] AlanBell: Perfect :) [20:29] czajkowski: Sets the scene [20:29] czajkowski: because we don't have fixed terms [20:29] AlanBell: perhaps a way then would be to have a fixed term [20:29] say 2 cycles = 1 year [20:30] would encourage more people to take part and step up [20:31] czajkowski: We struggled for volunteers in the last round... that sounds like a heap of trouble :) [20:31] yeah we did [20:31] because we let the leadership go on for a long time [20:31] perhaps forcing people to step up might be a way to get more involvement tbh [20:31] czajkowski: Also, since yu'd be changinging the status quo, it'd have to go to a meeting and what not to be approved. Can't just write it in now [20:32] czajkowski: Also, those two paragraphs help put people in mind that they should step down gracefully [20:32] yes but it just seems ilogical tbh that you just elect a leader and when and if they get bored snad step down you go through this process. [20:32] daubers: trust me I've seen those two paragprahs used to get people to step down and it usually ends up the loco council having to step in [20:33] We haven't really ever had a problem with it (historically) [20:33] not neccessarily [20:33] czajkowski: you only see the times when you have to step in [20:33] surely though uuk is a global domination outfit run by someone in a secret volcano island? [20:33] if it works properly you wouldn't know about it [20:33] willy1977: quite right [20:34] * AlanBell sits in a big chair stroking a chicken [20:34] AlanBell: I can actually picture that quite vividly... [20:34] could you be having issues getting volunteers *because* people think it could be a multi-year commitment? [20:34] AlanBell: I dunno why, but I can picture it quite clearly. [20:34] we didn't have issues getting volunteers [20:34] AlanBell: daubers I'm just saying it may be a case that leaving the leadership term so long people dont wnat to step on toes or know when they can step up [20:34] equally could you have problems getting volunteers because it definitely is a fixed term? [20:35] just doesnt seem right . sorry. [20:35] we got one quite easily, and it was uncontested [20:35] AlanBell: yup and perhaps had we a fixed term people cna say ok, well I'm busy now but at least in years time I can put myself forward [20:35] czajkowski: I'm happy for a discussion and what not too happen around the issue. Hoever, I have no strong feeling on the issue at all [20:35] nods [20:36] czajkowski, I think you're making fair points how about we put it on the meeting agend for the next one? or something like that? [20:36] hmm that was odd [20:36] I hope I don't see that again! [20:36] what AlanBell stroking his chicken? [20:36] almost didn't come back onto the internet then [20:36] ironically, I had an ipv6 though xD [20:36] I don't mind fixed terms, however I do think the "step down gracefully" thing is a viable alternative to fixed terms [20:36] willy1977: I have pet chickens [20:36] ipv4 decided to die, and all the internet with it [20:37] AlanBell: that assumes the person will get tired and step down, what about peoplemnitchying to help out and lead [20:37] this is no reflection on you [20:37] just I think having no set time is a bit well... daft [20:37] and bond villains stroke cats [20:37] AlanBell: I got it ;) do you have some layers? [20:38] czajkowski: maybe in a few years time someone like you or popey will have a quiet word with me and point out it is time to go [20:38] who knows [20:38] you can quite easily emulate no-fixed-terms by a) re-electing the same guy again because he's good and b) letting him step down early and elect a replacement [20:38] willy1977: yes, three of them [20:38] anyways battery is about to die and I need to go and rest [20:38] not laying that well at the moment [20:39] Does anybody know why a dual core processor shows up as having 4 cores under system monitor [20:39] I keep telling them they have to step up production or it will be chicken tikka massala night at our house [20:39] DJones: dual core hyperthreaded [20:39] AlanBell: Thanks, that explains it, I didn't think the i3's were quad core [20:39] yeah, the kernel's bad at telling the difference between hyperthreading and genuine different cores [20:40] kind of like "I don't want to be a pie, I don't like gravy?" any idea what may be causing the girls to ... err... you know. [20:41] I must add the laptop to the hardware database [20:41] AlanBell: someone on the radio was talking about that earlier in the week, Gardener's Question Time possibly [20:41] AlanBell: "More eggs, or less hens!" [20:42] gordonjcp: yes, there was a programme about it last week, I was at a customer at the time [20:42] wonder if it is on the web somewhere [20:42] oh wasn't that on radio 4? [20:42] yup [20:43] AlanBell: Did you see that new open source licence "CDL - Chicken Dance Licence" when I read about it, I thought of you [20:43] http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zsdsb [20:44] I did DJones! [20:44] AlanBell: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zsdsb/Attila_the_Hen/ [20:44] ah ok. [20:44] :) [20:45] AlanBell: that looks like it [20:45] ChanServ Help [20:45] AUTH [20:45] !AUTH [20:46] d3ngar_: not here!

[21:23] I'm not a designer so I have doctored that to work for me, have only tried it in FF4 though... must try it in IE when I get a chance there's a min-height which I think will cause IE to spit it's dummy out... [21:23] I'm a rather fat feathery owl called Sage ... [21:24] Daviey: btw we're all still having fun in the waiting for an invoice from Daviey club :p [21:25] :o [21:25] indeed [21:25] it's an awesome club, been established for 3 years now? :D [21:26] meh, why do I always get hungry at the most unconvinient times [21:27] (notice no questionmark) [21:32] yummy. I get to build my own mutt. sigh. [21:32] the ones in the pet shop not good enough? [21:32] * mgdm runs [21:39] they're non-free; you can't take them apart, modify them, then put them back together again [21:39] well, you *can*, but they never work afterwards [21:39] you can hardly blame the pet shop for a faulty compiler [21:48] ugh, using slang instead of ncurses just brings a different set of bugs [21:48] * daubers gets his CSS beating stick out of the cupboard [21:53] * willy1977 hides just in case... [21:53] * penguin42 thinks he can play most of 'Wargames' from memory by now [22:14] Hah. [22:15] * penguin42 just watched it again; nice way to relax after having been at u^3 all day [22:17] yay i got that on video somewhere (wargames) [22:18] how about a game global thermo nuclear war? [22:18] *of [22:18] yes [22:19] how about a nice game of chess [22:19] ? [22:19] probably for the best... [22:19] yeah [22:20] i found a dos game called globa nuclear war once [22:20] i managed to accidently shoot down a missile over london :( [22:21] oops [22:22] well russia sent a icbm towards me and i launched an intecept missile thing, [22:22] so that was 7m killed, then 250m which was the pop of russia [22:23] it was more text based than graphical [22:23] its odd those old games as it gives you names of cities at the time which of course have changed now, and countries of course, [22:26] not the wargames game but this one was fun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_%28video_game%29 [22:28] Ronnie Raygun lol [22:32] spooky that the 3 rd and 4th character in the list are like still around and in the same postition as 1985 [23:09] howdy all
