[10:19] np [10:19] there's also a bit in the interview where he says that he bought an ipad because of popey [10:20] lol [10:20] [citation needed] [10:21] * MooDoo shakes his head and did actually look for that part of the interview....FISHED IN [10:22] o/-----------------------------(moodoo) [10:22] thats MooDoo on the end of my fishing line [10:23] update from my train company yesterday: "Service disruption caused by a toy balloon obstructing the overhead powerline equipment near Ponders End" [10:23] lol [10:23] haha [10:24] aloha [10:24] hello czajkowski x [10:24] slapping 10.04 on a PC for a friend....still feels good, even on old PC [10:25] + ubuntu-restricted-extras, skype , chromium, move buttons to right and you're done in < 30 mins [10:25] hahah [10:26] (plus delete the bottom panel), and download the ubuntu manual onto the desktop [10:26] even on 512mb it runs sweetly though [10:26] * oimon has some more spare pcs.. [10:26] lol ubuntu on 512mb [10:26] i hope the person never tries to run anything except vim and mutt [10:27] chromium , facebook, youtube, etc all run fine [10:27] that's 90% of av. joe's activity [10:27] chromium in 512mb is painful [10:27] nah..not with 3 tabs [10:27] and that's before you go to a page that uses flash [10:28] 4gb is not enough to run ubuntu these days, 512mb is a joke [10:28] it all depends on your usage patterns [10:28] usage pattern = load firefox, visit a webpage [10:28] my work PC needs 4gb true, cos i never shutdown [10:28] hmm machine is running rather slowly today m [10:29] hmm must remember to uninstall gwibber and install hotot [10:29] i opened 400 720p images in gimp... my computer is also running slowly now :( [10:29] hehe [10:29] lol [10:30] that's only 1.4gb [10:30] is there a tool to spring clean unwanted packages, does janitor do enough ?

[11:01] no, he's run an rsync over ssh [11:02] i run rsync over ssh [11:02] via cron [11:02] oimon: apt-get install -y slay [11:02] possibily cron on the remote machine..none on my server [11:03] hopefully i can close the account [11:03] thats what I meant [11:03] i.e. it could be something that he had running regularly and you've just spotted it [11:03] it's funny how he doesn't think much of the confidentiality [11:04] oimon: it is also possible he's forgotten it's doing it [11:04] or at least to that extent [11:04] it seems quite deliberate [11:04] looking at the command history.. [11:04] slay is your friend. [11:05] i prefer userdel [11:05] slay then userdel [11:06] oh jpds :D [11:10] oimon: Or you could redirect the folder he's mucking around with with an alias and make him download /dev/urandom every time :) [11:11] or replace every jpeg with goatse [11:11] Anybody good with regex tell me why 'kevin.m.young@bankofamerica.com' is failing against /^[^@]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+$/ [11:16] bigcalm, ^[^@]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+$ matches fine [11:17] bigcalm, make sure you have multiline mode enabled in your parser [11:17] morning :) [11:17] Humm [11:18] Whats the Status of NFS4?

[11:40] Place i work now have nothing bar a smb share atm [11:40] And stuff everywhere [11:40] sigh...Google might focus on being blazing fast with their searches but their MX records validation is slower than a snail for Google Apps.... [11:40] JGJones: negative TTL + normal TTL [11:41] guys, I have issues with skype. no mike. Must I switch away from Pulseaudio and if so how/where? [11:41] MartijnVdS, the MX records was setup about 2 days ago. Validation started last night [11:41] skype points out that i'm using pulseaudio, under options, whether that implies that there lies the issue i'm not clear [11:42] livingdaylight: it's probably right [11:42] I've asked in #ubuntu and the only feedback i'm getting is that this is an issue with 11.04. I'm not the only one it seems [11:42] also, pulse is the right choice [11:43] MartijnVdS, there used to be options in the drop-down menu (in Options) but i see none. [11:45] livingdaylight: the fact that skype mentions pulse just means you manage the audio device with pulse mixer [11:45] which you get to from the sound menu [11:45] skype works for me in 11.04 [11:46] popey, by default; is there a how-to to fix this here? [11:46] fix what? [11:46] that its not working [11:46] go to sound menu, choose mixer, choose input devices, make sure mic isnt muted [11:46] tap mic to see VU meter going up and down [11:47] mike is not muted as handset works with Teamspeak [11:47] just because it works in teamspeak doesn't mean its not muted in pulse [11:47] please go to the sound menu, choose mixer, choose input device, select the mic, make sure it isnt muted [11:48] is that right-click properties? [11:48] are you on 11.04? [11:48] yes [11:48] click the sound menu [11:48] with the unity bar [11:48] where is this sound menu? [11:48] top right of the screen, little speaker icon [11:49] Email from a new contact within an existing client "Hi Iain, thank you for worm wellcome." [11:49] yes, and properties, yes? [11:49] livingdaylight: should be last icon in the menu [11:49] I am easily amused [11:49] last item sorry [11:49] do not try and find the place to right click, instead realise the truth; there is no right click [11:49] popey, last item is properties [11:50] ok, good [11:50] click that, a windows appears? [11:50] yup, [11:50] and there's an input devices tab? [11:50] yup and mic responds [11:50] so you see the VU meter go up as you talk? [11:51] that's right [11:51] ok, great. [11:51] which is why I can speak on Teamspeak; but why not on skype? [11:51] how many input devices are listed in the bottom half [11:51] hang on. [11:52] Internal Audio Analogue Stereo [11:52] what type of mic is it? [11:52] USB or plugged into mic port? [11:52] is it a headset or what? [11:52] latter [11:52] y [11:52] which? [11:53] plugged into mic port [11:53] ok [11:53] do you have skype open? [11:53] y [11:53] can you open the options dialog in skype? [11:53] yes [11:54] popey, did another test call, and can hear my own voice now [11:54] and you have audio devices listed for ringing, and mic and speakers [11:54] great [11:54] so its working fine? [11:54] I swear it wasn't playing nice earlier though... darn [11:55] quality is still not great, but I'm audible compared to earliers pure fuzzzzz sound [11:55] run me through the ideal settings under options anyway, - please. [11:56] if its working you probably have ideal settings [12:27] hi! is there a workaround for connecting to icq using empathy? it's not working out of the box at the moment due to a server certificate error..

"40%" what? how can you pan it and then give it 40%? [13:53] ali1234: you're right, from that rhetoric you would think it is 10% [13:53] maybe 40% is the baseline [13:53] i guess it could be worse, it could be unplayably buggy too [13:54] It's jerky on my machine :( [13:54] But was fun to watch it being downloaded at 3.6MB/s [13:54] bigcalm: you bought it? [13:54] how much for? [13:54] I did [13:54] sometimes i think video game reviewers grade on a scale the goes from "100% - a really good game" to "0% - being hit in the face with a spade" [13:55] I very rarely read any reviews [13:55] which is to say that in order to get less than about 70% you have to make something that isn't even a computer game, and couldn't even be confused with one [13:56] Is there a difference between a review and a PR blurb? ;) [13:56] I guess most gamers just ask friends etc their thoughts - Minecraft being a good example. I was told it was awesome by coupla of friends so I got it based on that. [13:57] thinking about it, 40% is actually really really harsh, probably harsher than it deserves [13:58] %ages are always relative to the other games of the current day [14:05] Zero Punctuation is the only reviewer I listen to [14:05] bigcalm: extra credits are nice as well [14:06] but they're not really reviews [14:18] popey: what did you buy with your massive CPW windfall?

[15:36] wow.. reallly? [15:36] (come on.. give me a break :p) [15:37] probably @ £1 per day [15:37] bit less than that [15:37] the difference between 5% CPU and 100% CPU is probably about 50p-75p a day [15:38] i would think it is less than that [15:38] if you have loads of hard drives and ram it's going to use more but that's a constant if you leave it on anyway [15:39] well depends on how much you are paying i guess but :) [15:39] 11p/kWh [15:40] 450W pc would used 10kwh per day [15:40] yeah except that there's no such thing as a 450W PC [15:40] what's a good pool?

[15:50] yeh [15:50] i've not tried it [15:50] i need something with a simulator though [15:50] davmor2: no i'm going to make a special effort, i mean i need a tour of canonical towers so i'll have to make a pub night of it with you too [15:51] i want to program a xilinx cpld eventually and it has a designer but not a simulator afaict [15:51] ali1234: I thought Quartus did simulate it tbh [15:51] MooDoo: HAHA! [15:51] but not tried it [15:51] i will dl it and have a look [15:51] oh joy 3.2GB [15:51] haha [15:52] damn [15:52] davmor2: ok ok i'll settle for a pub night, i do owe czajkowski a pint [15:52] well, the xilinx one was 4.1GB [15:52] software has grown these days :/ [15:52] modelsim is a 600mb addon [15:53] need to login............ :( [15:53] isn't there a good commandline only simulator available? [15:54] command line only? [15:54] using VHDL and Verilog [15:54] Ok.. I've got 478 MHash/s now [15:54] wow [15:54] on what? [15:54] :| [15:55] 8 core server with cpu mining [15:55] thing is, i don't want to learn VHDL [15:55] andylockran: what cpu? [15:55] :-o [15:56] * popey looks at the 150-odd 12-core boxen here [15:56] hamitron: dosbox :D [15:56] no CPU can get 478mh not even if it has 8 cores [15:56] 47.8mh is a stretch for cpuminer [15:56] I get 1.6mh/s [15:56] :/ [15:57] quad core 3.2ghz phenom gets about 12 [15:57] * BigRedS ponders capitalisation pedantry :) [16:00] yes [16:00] I am a retard :) [16:05] misreading output [16:11] maybe this bitcoin stuff isn't for me :) [16:11] should just buy £100 worth and sell them in a bit. [16:11] rather than try generating them [16:11] as long as they keep going upwards in value [16:12] there's some horrific growth ATM, surely they're in for a crash in value? [16:12] andylockran: just wanna point out they crashed from $34 to $14 inside 48 hours 4 days ago [16:13] BigRedS: Only if there's polibical change. [16:13] ;) [16:13] polibical? [16:13] political? [16:13] either way, why? Surely all it takes is lots of people wanting to sell? [16:13] as per any other currency [16:13] yep [16:13] or any other thing [16:13] or government restrictions [16:14] if there is so much as a sniff of restrictions been put on it, everyone will want to sell, and the price will crash [16:15] oh yeah [16:25] $34 per BTC? [16:25] yep [16:25] it's about 20USD now [16:25] hmm..so 3000 BTC would be worth selling [16:25] it was maybe a little higher at one point [16:26] i'm sure only speculators and jounralists are buying though [16:26] * hamitron bought 95 BTC on Saturday [16:26] ;) [16:26] and sold on Sunday [16:26] mug :P [16:26] haha [16:27] I paid 17.50 and got 22.00 [16:27] gambling's a mugs game [16:27] I was intending to keep them longer, then realised I couldn't handle the "excitement" [16:27] ;) [16:28] never again, just mining them now and selling [16:29] hmm software-center doesn't like my correct password [16:29] :/ [16:30] hamitron: how did you buy them? an exchange? [16:30] yeh [16:30] which one out of interest? [16:30] Mt. Gox [16:30] I need to get rid of my BTC some time [16:31] they charge 0.65% for converting, then 2% to withdraw in euro [16:31] iirc [16:31] I'll probably hold on a while [16:31] how many do u have? [16:32] 52 [16:32] difficulty increases to 1,000,000 at a guess, tomorrow [16:32] :) [16:33] that is going to start slowing down miners, even with decent hardware [16:33] i think they cost me about 70 quid total [16:33] yeah [16:33] in leccy costs? [16:33] that and I bought some ages ago [16:33] * hamitron will get less than 1 BTC per day :( [16:34] what is BTC? [16:34] Bitcoin [16:35] speculation in imaginary concept for profit at the expense of latecomers [16:35] :D [16:35] ahh ok [16:35] thanks [16:36] I'm hoping to the profit stays there, till my new comp is bought [16:36] :) [16:36] all i ask ;/ [16:50] here's hoping [18:16] Hey all, dumb question, is Unity going to made compulsory in future releases and with the option of the Ubuntu Classic removed? Also I have installed a new version of a program but it runs from a different location, I have changed the path under the Main Menu app but it hasn't affected the Unity menu, how do I change this as I keep running the old version? [18:49] yeah, 11.10 wont have the option of a gnome 2 log on [18:50] heh, main menu still hasn't been fixed then? [18:50] that doesn't soudn necessarily broken [18:50] just a non-obvious way of changing the path [18:50] it isn't broken [18:50] it's by design [18:50] the "main menu" tool doesn't apply to unity [18:51] ohhh [18:51] unity just does whatever it wants and there is no way to configure it [18:51] but main menu is still installed by default for some reason, even though it does nothing except confuse people [18:51] its installed for the classic desktop [18:51] if you use the dash in exactly the way it is intended to be used you will hit this bug [18:52] that is, you want to edit the menus, so you type "menu" in the dash, and open the first thing that comes up [18:53] the bug is that the dash should pop up a message that says "sorry, you can't edit the menus on ubuntu any more" [18:53] instead of showing the menu editor from gnome 2 [18:55] → kde :) [18:56] hah [18:58] Is there a way to have twitter not replace my url with a 'shortened' one? [19:04] evening all [19:04] * AlanBell sits down with cold beer [19:04] Morning! [19:04] * BigRedS is envious [19:05] we seem to have a salutation-off-by-one error :p [19:05] haha [19:05] I standardised on 'morning' a while a go [19:08] BigRedS: yeah, we did that IRL with a few friends as well [19:08] anyone in Leicester? [19:08] BigRedS: confuses people to no end :) [19:08] MartijnVdS: i've been doing it long enough that people're now confused when I say 'afternoon' :) [19:09] AlanBell: they've perished at the hands of zombie hoard [19:09] You hoard zombies? [19:09] hoary zombies? [19:10] turns out the city council didn't have any plans to deal with zombies :p [19:10] of i course zombies, don't you? [19:10] jacobw: yeah, they need to improve their planning [19:10] I for one welcome our new zombie overlords [19:15] Bah, if you see zombies, just kill their parents [19:15] init should take care of the rest. [19:15] haha [19:15] (unless they're blocking on a read or something) [19:17] I did enjoy being called up while at home over christmas and getting to say just-within-earshot of a bunch of family "well, are all the children dead?.. kill them, then. Check the parents are dead, too. And make sure they're actually dead" [19:17] czajkowski: tell filace to annoy you from me too :D [19:17] *awkward looks all around* [19:18] hah, yeah. I genuinely wasn't aware they could hear, which probably made it a bit worse... [19:19] hehe [19:20] BigRedS: did you also make stabbing movements with your free hand while saying it? [19:20] haha! If only! [19:23] http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc [19:24] 100% awesome [19:24] Ah. I'm after some new podcasts [19:24] * hamitron has never used a podcast [19:24] you should also check out radiolab.org in that case BigRedS [19:24] jacobw: oooh, cheers! [19:25] you too hamitron, especially you *brow beats* [19:25] hamitron: I didn't get them at all until I realised they're just the offspring of an mp3 and an rss generator [19:25] the name puts me off [19:25] ;) [19:25] and since I've done without so long because of that, just never missed what I've never used [19:26] but I will [19:26] :D [19:26] that's almost luddite [19:26] hamitron: yeah, that's almost exactly what I did [19:26] I've just found that I prefer spoken word on long rides to music [19:27] but I ride at a rate greater than the uupc is generated [19:27] I read more :/ [19:27] hamitron: i suspect that is not advised while driving [19:27] read tech stuff, and listen to streaming radio [19:27] :D [19:27] Ah, it's dangerous to do that on the bike :) [19:27] yeh, and my bike has no stereo [19:27] :/ [19:28] Ah, I have an ipod [19:28] on a bike? [19:28] i've listened to podcasts whilst driving, its not different to listening to the radio [19:28] motorbike, yeah [19:28] well, and bicycle. But in that case it's music [19:28] I sometimes have my phone giving directions, about it [19:28] Oh! Half of R4 is available in podcasted form! [19:29] I was just pondering bodging something together with get-iplayer [19:29] this is true [19:29] i go through podcasts too fast [19:30] so why not just use mp3? [19:30] it is mp3 [19:30] the podcast bit is just convenience [19:31] having an rss feed telling you when new ones are available, and giving you(r device) a link through which to get it [19:31] my devices only support mp3 [19:31] haha [19:31] and including a nice episode description [19:31] I can take the mp3 out? [19:31] well, it might be ogg or whatever, too. But it's just an audio file, and an rss feed saying where it is [19:31] yeah [19:32] you could parse the rss feed yourself and do what you like with the .mp3 or .ogg or whatever [19:32] well all you 'get' is the audio file [19:32] parsing some rss feed is "convenient"? ;/ [19:33] well, will give it a go [19:33] hamitron: no. pointing rhythmbox at an rss feed is convenient [19:33] moreso than remembering when there's a new one and going and downloading it and listening to it [19:34] well, arguably. I find it more convenient :) [19:38] it is convient, there's no argument about it. [19:38] davmor2: eh no he needs no encouragement [19:38] I'm arguing with rhythmbox as I type :) [19:38] * davmor2 cheers for filace picking on czajkowski well just cause really [19:39] >:( [19:39] oi [19:39] czajkowski: you love it or he wouldn't do it :P [19:39] eh no he wont do it again :) [19:39] well he will but I'll glare some more [19:41] BigRedS: Agreed aggregation of podcasts is far easier [19:41] ah yeah, that'd work [19:41] I must stop writing scripts *before* checking there's not already a website doing it [19:42] hehe [19:43] BigRedS: Depends on if your script does it better [19:43] It probably wont :) [19:43] they rarely do... [19:43] its more fun that way :p [19:43] but, still, it'd be better to start with an idea of what I dislike beforehand [20:04] i'm eating a kebab with a knife and fork [20:04] i think i might be 'posh' :s [20:05] haha [20:05] I think the kebab precludes that :) [20:05] good point [20:06] However, if your monocle falls into the kebab that's an exception ;) [20:06] lol [20:07] "Ooh I got kebab sauce all over my waistcoat" [20:08] lol [20:13] Evening [20:14] o/ daubers [20:37] * AlanBell points to a gathering of sorts in #ubuntu-gaming [20:37] zombies again? [20:37] BRAAAINS [20:37] all we wanna do is eat your brains [20:38] ++jonathoncoulton [20:38] jacobw: Vegetarian zombies - GRAAAINS [20:38] hehe [21:34] #processing [21:39] jane__: /join #processing [22:00] Hi, do lots of people install Ubuntu on their macbooks or prefer to stick to apple's osx? [22:01] does anyone know if USB 2 devices can plug into USB 3 sockets? [22:02] livingdaylight, I've got Ubuntu on a Macbook. [22:02] Azelphur, http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100608025141AAs6Psj [22:02] JGJones, interesting [22:03] livingdaylight: not what I asked, but still interesting [22:03] livingdaylight, it was the first thing I did with it when I got it too. [22:03] JGJones, I'm thinking of getting a core2duo as their little cheaper now just for the hardware and putting Ubuntu on it; or if hd is big enough dual-booting? [22:03] The macbook I got is a core duo. [22:03] Azelphur, sorry, I mmisunderstood then [22:03] :p [22:04] A tad old - and HDD is small, just a 60GB so it's just Ubuntu on it. [22:04] usb 2 devices into usb 3 sockets, not usb 3 devices in usb 2 sockets [22:04] the core duos are slower than the core2duo, yes? but still run 11.04 fine? [22:04] yes [22:04] livingdaylight, the cpu's are slower, but you don't notice it day to day anyway. [22:05] Unity is supririsingly not that demanding on hardware - I have it running on a Celeron laptop with about 700Mb and it's fine. [22:05] I've had rotten luck with laptops lately. Bought an HP dm4 on ebay and it arrived broken [22:05] Intel graphics for both so it's Unity with compiz rather than Unity-2D [22:05] livingdaylight, ha...I was getting ready to sell my Sony VAIO SZ71 laptop - it's a decent laptop, runs Ubuntu very well. [22:05] so, thinking of getting some old-ish mac hardware. But even the old macs are £400+ ! THey sure hold their value [22:06] Set it up on ebay...and then checked laptop to check on size of HDD...and I got a SMART message telling me it's about to die. [22:06] bugger. [22:06] bloody great timing. [22:06] JGJones, what do you want for it? :p [22:06] I@ve gone off Sony's big time though [22:07] livingdaylight, it's a Sony VAIO SZ71 with 2GB, about to die 120GB HDD, dual graphics (Intel and nvidia) and core2duo...think the speed is 2.2GHz. [22:07] screen size? [22:07] Runs Ubuntu perfectly fine, everything out of box - however do need PPA for webcam driver. [22:07] it's a 12" 1280x800 screen. [22:08] it does comes with a OEM licence for Windows Vista if you fancy that (no CD's) [22:08] I orderd their new c series 14" and after 2 weeks it still hadn't arrived! So, refunded it [22:08] how much? [22:08] livingdaylight, if you're interested let me know and I can give you the full specification [22:09] livingdaylight, I have no idea what the value of the laptop is - I was going to look on ebay for similar laptops to get idea of price! :) [22:09] ok [22:10] if its a bargain, I could be interested [22:10] I'll have a look at what they look like [22:10] http://goo.gl/QtGyt something like that? [22:12] Not quite...mine does have the black lid cover, but with the aluminum palm rest - I'll send photos. [22:34] good night everyone, sleep well. [22:46] night brobostigon [22:52] Hi guys [22:54] hi [22:54] * jacobw → bed [22:55] someone use trickle for bandwidth? and work fine with firefox downloads? I tried with trickle -d 100KB wget something and work but with firefox it doesn't, do you have some clue? [22:55] or point me to another wat or tool for band limit [22:56] way* [23:03] Hi, anyone know a channel for Wine support please? [23:03] michelle_: #winehq [23:04] Many thanks!
