[11:40] morning BigRedS [11:42] morning! [11:42] How's things? [11:43] BigRedS: tired, got zero sleep. and you? [11:43] ah. I'm pretty good. I spent most of yesterday finally getting rount to working on a bunch of long-standing projects [11:43] feeling raring to go and get a couple finished :) [11:44] :) [11:46] morning brobostigon [11:46] and BigRedS [11:46] etc [11:47] morning jacobw [11:50] morning all (again!) [11:50] morning danfish [11:51] * danfish is feeling a bit rough post-rugby yesterday [11:52] munster won :) [11:52] czajkowski: excellent - Saracens also :) [11:53] I can heartily recommend the premiership final at Twickers - not expensive either - £12 is wot I paid [11:54] czajkowski: an ubuntu-uk day out next year me thinks [11:57] danfish, I'd be up for that. [12:01] SpudULike: I'll suggest it in 6 months time [12:06] yessss [13:46] tap tap - is this thing on? [13:46] no [13:46] Nope, its been disabled [13:46] hmph, the intel x server crash on natty is annoying me [13:47] penguin42: X is way overated ;) [13:48] penguin42: which x server crash on natty? I've not had that problem thankfully [13:49] DJones: The one that goes libpthread, librecord, _CallCallbacks, WriteToClient, libdri2.so: ProcDRI2WaitMSCReply, DRI2WaitMSCComplete [13:55] DJones: Bug 774978 [13:55] Launchpad bug 774978 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) "xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/774978 [13:56] penguin42: I've not had that happen to me [13:57] DJones: Is happening pretty regularly for me on opening firefox [13:58] Perhaps thats why I've not seen it, I use chromium, maybe theres a subtle differnce [13:58] yeh, it's obviously something just tickling a bug somewhere === ChrisB is now known as Guest96463 [17:17] is there a voip service for Ubuntu that will let me serve it via ubuntu server but the clients can connect through a web interface? [17:20] omg are reporting on some odd things lately... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/ivanka-hits-the-road/ - just... a little personal if you ask me [17:21] gord: That site used to be a lot better imo. I moved to http://webudp8.org more than that [17:21] gord: errr *http://www.webupd8.org/ [17:31] ewww webupd8 [17:38] i find omgubuntu more like a fashion magazine than a technology website [17:39] i think a lot of people like that though [18:04] evening all [18:04] !dvd [18:04] 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 [18:04] evening AlanBell [18:07] Oh wow... Ist 6PM already? [18:08] yep. [18:08] i have chicken curry, cooking, :) [18:57] * penguin42 has an Eve's pudding cooking === issyl0_ is now known as Guest46812 [19:22] mmm, pudding [19:22] What are you making, penguin42? [19:35] Arghhhh!!! [19:35] * AlanBell has beer === Guest46812 is now known as issyl0 [19:35] TV is aggravating [19:35] AlanBell: :) [19:35] 4 people stood in a server room surrounded by Dell blades having a normal conversation. If those blades where on, they would barely be able to hear themselvse! [19:37] dwatkins: I said - an Eve's pudding! [19:41] daubers: what show is that, just out of interest? [19:41] ali1234: Numb3rs [19:42] oh, ok, i see [19:44] daubers: that's nothing [19:45] daubers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ cracks me up every time :D [19:45] Azelphur: There was a lot of fail in that episode :( [19:45] hehe [19:49] have you all seen that CSI episode where they have to hack an excel spreadsheet on an xbox by playing second life? [19:49] lmfao, no but it sounds hilarious [19:50] i may in fact have mixed together two episodes there, but if i did, they are both hilariously bad [19:51] ali1234: seen visual basic gui to track the killers IP? :P [19:51] haha, "I speak leet" [19:51] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbxwtEKpEL4 [19:54] ali1234: wtf he hands him a calculator [19:54] hahaha [19:54] "Here's a calculator" "I CAN DO IT!" [19:55] LOL He's fighting with the calculator [19:55] xD [19:56] my missis watches CSI but i can't stand it [19:56] it's fairly entertaining as long as they don't talk about anything that you actually understand [19:56] like most TV actually [19:56] yeah, i prefer spiral and the killing for crime drama [19:56] i can't find the xbox spreadsheets one [19:56] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU :D [19:57] that one was really horrible [19:57] ^ lmfao the comments on that one [19:57] yes that one is so bad it became a meme [19:57] xD [19:57] the spreadsheets one had that guy from out of nypd:blue [19:58] i'm not sure it was CSI [19:58] love the comments on that one [19:58] but it was one of those generic cop shows [19:58] yea, lol [19:58] "I'll create a batch file using notepad, to see if I can find out who stole my club sandwich." [19:58] in spooks they tend to decrypt high level encryption on the fly all the time [19:59] maybe they have a beowulf cluster ;) [20:00] actually in one episode i think they wrote a virus to turn the country into a grid compute engine to work something out [20:00] mmmm portal 2 [20:00] oh yea, we totally can't miss this one out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxq9yj2pVWk [20:00] omg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRhGPVYRsOY [20:02] ali1234: lmao [20:03] i love it [20:03] Azelphur: blade runner is the canonical example of that i guess [20:03] hehe [20:03] and here's a funny spoof of that scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erADi08Bc2I [20:05] usually youtube comments are retarded but these ones are actually quite good [20:05] ali1234: haha [20:06] my baby boy took his first steps today :D [20:06] oimon: woo \o/ [20:20] has anyone watched shadowline on bbc ? any good? [20:21] I watched a few episodes on iPlayer, not bad, not bad. [20:23] iplayer seems quite inconsistent about the length of time things are available for [20:23] I believe that's intentional .. it depends what rights the bbc has to things [20:23] It's not even that. [20:24] With series, it's 7 days after the last episode of the series [20:24] been taken by surprise sometimes when some stuff deisppears within a week [20:25] most of the time i don't even realise a series has started that i've waited for [20:25] until about week3 [20:27] I hate when that happens. [20:27] penguin42: ah sorry, I thought you meant for this evening :) [20:34] Aloha [20:40] I never did trust cucumbers [20:42] I never trusted e-coli. [20:45] I never trusted trains. [20:50] getting cold and I have run out of beer, time to move away from the wifi for the night o/ [20:51] does AlanBell have to internet from his shed? o_O [20:51] :( [20:52] gord: it might be his den? [21:07] is he still in France? [21:26] gord: I wanna shed to internet from :( [21:27] heated with dedicated bar and beer pumps, [21:27] ? [21:31] Half decent sound system and 3 monitors would do me nicely [21:36] :) [21:39] interesting, I wonder why my desktop is DHCping every 5 minutes [21:39] because your router is giving out 5-minute leases? [21:39] i just tried to open a .bmp file on windows, it made me agree to some licence before i could do that. sometimes we forget just how good we have it on ubuntu [21:39] MartijnVdS: Just coming from a standard Linux dhcp server [21:40] penguin42: You can check the lease time it's giving out in the config [21:42] MartijnVdS: default-lease-time 600; hmm is that 10mins ? [21:42] yes [21:43] the client might be refreshing slightly before that [21:43] to make sure it doesn't expire [21:43] hmm that's a bit ott [21:43] make it 86400 (1 day) or 3600 (1 hour) [21:43] * penguin42 wonders why I did that [21:44] * penguin42 wonders if I accidentally deleted the 3 at some point [21:44] it might be the default [23:11] Is there any universal command line file extractor? [23:11] like file roller, but without the GUI, so I can be lazy writing some scripts and not have to write a big switch statement for every different file format [23:26] not that I know of [23:26] you should write one [23:26] :) [23:26] \o/ [23:43] good night everyone, sleep well. [23:44] Azelphur: Was it you that was trying to get the cluster of machines running last week? [23:44] penguin42: indeed it was [23:45] how's it going? [23:45] penguin42: it's all chugging along quite nicely, I didn't even need any extra cooling [23:45] makes the entire floor of the house kinda toasty, but it chugs along ok :) [23:45] hehe [23:45] I reckon ambient on the top floor is around 35-40C [23:46] ouch - that'll shorten the life of them a bit [23:47] you reckon? [23:47] you might be OK; I genereally get a bit worried over 30 [23:47] hehe, it's usually 30 here whatever I do [23:48] my room without a supercomputer is 28 right now [23:48] 40 is a bit toasty though [23:49] yea, 40 is toasty [23:49] so how much juice is that taking? [23:49] I don't have any temp sensors unfortunately, should probably get some [23:49] a lot less than I originally thought, only 1.7kw :) [23:49] for all 8? [23:49] yep [23:49] and I've got the door wide open with the attic hatch open just outside said door to act as a vent [23:50] hmm 220w a piece, I assume the CPU is quite idle then and it's the graphics card banging away? [23:50] yep [23:51] because the CPUs are normally rated at 95w flat out [23:52] yea, that's why I'm not using them, they are largely uneconomical :) [23:52] I'm thinking of knocking up a case and building a quad card rig with a little wind tunnel for the gpus [23:53] penguin42: it's doing 3.4ghash/sec btw :p [23:53] is that good? [23:53] yea, I'm top 10 in my pool [23:53] http://btcmine.com/toplist/ [23:53] so you've got one card in each ? [23:54] yea [23:54] penguin42: 3.4ghash/sec means giga-hashes per second, ie if I was brute forcing a password hash :) [23:54] everybodys password hashes are no longer safe >:) [23:54] Azelphur: And how much is a block currently worth? [23:55] not that I'm using it for that, anyway [23:55] penguin42: £227 GBP [23:55] but that's a very flakey value [23:55] it depends on supply and demand / going exchange rate / direction of the wind etc... [23:56] Azelphur: ok, so it's costing you about 25p/hour in elastictrickery, so what's that, £6/day, £42/week [23:56] woa, what electric rates you got me on there buddy? [23:56] that's way high :P [23:57] I'm on 7.5p/kwh [23:57] really? Wow that's not too bad [23:57] perks of being parked right next to the worlds largest offshore wind farm [23:58] and that's cheaper? [23:58] course, because we generate so much electricity it's cheaper here [23:58] it doesn't have to be routed long distance [23:58] at least from my understanding, electric prices are calculated based on where you live [23:58] where's that? [23:59] Margate, Kent [23:59] I didn't think it varied that much
