DJonesMorning07:59
DJonesAlanBell: Do you know if #ubuntu-accessibilty is the right channel to point a disabled person to who wants to ask some questions about facilities for disabled users08:02
DJonesAlanBell: its ok, got the info & passed it on08:09
AlanBellDJones: it is08:22
DJonesThanks, that was my first thought anyway, & was confirmed when I looked at their website, passed the info on anyway08:22
AlanBellPendulum is the accessibility team lead08:23
DJonesRight, there was somebody asking about problems with certain key combo's in unity that were very helpful for them with a disability08:25

bigcalmMorning peeps :)09:05
popeygreetings mr calm09:07
bigcalmHowdy popey09:07
bigcalmNow I remember the down side to running Eclipse09:08
bigcalmMy machine sounds as though I'm playing Mincecraft09:08
bigcalmDamn Java09:08
AlanBellMincecraft sounds tasty09:10
bigcalmHehe, oops09:10
popeyunless it has a green plastic back poking out of it09:10
bigcalmMinecraft09:10
popey*bag09:10
AlanBellI still prefer to just use gedit rather than eclipse09:11
popeyhttp://twitpic.com/3i6gfy09:11
MooDoothat reminds me not looked at the minecraft map in ages09:12
* bigcalm shudders09:12
MooDoonot done your ant attack map yet then popey09:13
popeyMooDoo: not finished yet09:14
popeywhenever I go there I am reminded of the film I was watching at the time I made it09:15
popeyShallow Grave09:15
bigcalmCreepy09:16
bigcalmFor some reason I never saw the whole film09:16
diploI use netbeans, would prefer to use Gedit but I really like the project part of Netbeans09:19
diploOnly downside as bigcalm says is it kicks the fans in ALL the time :/09:20
bigcalmWhat I need from an IDE is the ability to view more than one file editor at the same time. Eclipse does this and is a resource hog. PhpEd is a better editor but doesn't do it09:20
* MartijnVdS has several vim windows open09:20
bigcalmI need an IDE though that understands classes09:21
MartijnVdSbigcalm: ctags + vim + magic-completion09:21
daubersMorning09:21
MartijnVdSuhr, "omni-completion" it's called09:22
bigcalmEg, you start typing a class name and it suggest the full name. And further you do the classname plus :: and it offers public methods/variables/etc09:22
MartijnVdSbigcalm: yes, omni-completino09:22
bigcalmHummmm09:22
bigcalmMartijnVdS: ta, I'll look into it09:22
MartijnVdSit has plugins for most languages :)09:22
daubersWhich IDE is this?09:24
MartijnVdSvim09:24
MartijnVdS(+ omni-completion)09:25
MartijnVdS(+ ctags)09:25
daubersAhhhh09:25
daubersI went off vim once I realised my laptop was now more than powerful enough to run eclipse09:26
MartijnVdSMy laptop is powerful enough to run eclipse. But I want to have a web browser open as well...09:26
bigcalmHeh09:27
TheOpenSourcererWith 6GB of RAM Eclipse is fine. I also usually have Hotot, Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird and plenty of terminals open at the same time with no issues.09:28
bigcalmIt still a resource hog and very slow to refresh projects over a network09:29
bigcalmThough that bit could have something to do with samba09:29
TheOpenSourcererAhh I have local workspace but use subversive and remote svn repo over ssh09:30
daubersI run eclipse on 4GB of RAM, all my projects are local though, and then pushed to remote places using bzr09:31
bigcalmDoes eclipse have svn support yet or is it still limited to cvs?09:31
TheOpenSourcerersvn support is subversive09:31
bigcalmI see09:31
bigcalmHummmm09:31
daubersThere is a bzr plugin :)09:31
diplobigcalm, netbeans supports SVN09:32
TheOpenSourcererthere is aslo subclipse although I think that has been superseded by subversive09:32
daubers(though I tend to just have a bash terminal open in the bottom pane of eclipse and do it through there)09:32
bigcalmdiplo: does netbeans work in windows?09:32
TheOpenSourcererI need to get more familiar with bzr/git etc.09:32
diploYep, I run it on both windows and ubuntu09:32
diploSame here TheOpenSourcerer09:32
bigcalmHummmz09:32
diploGoing to move from SVN to BZR on our web apps09:32

oimoni know canonical don't really go in for advertising at this stage but maybe a loco could arrange for ubuntu adverts on the tube (paid for by sponsorship cash)13:39
bigcalmA client just phoned me to find out why their website wasn't available. After scratching my head, I tried the hosting company's website. That's not available either!13:39

TheOpenSourcererOT but a great post: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/06/dear_emma_b.php13:58
daubersTheOpenSourcerer: I like that :)14:07
oimonis the word liberal there supposed to be sarcastic or not? i can't figure it out14:09
BigRedS'liberal' is one of those words that now means approximately everything14:14
BigRedSI've seen 'liberal authoritarians'14:14
MartijnVdS"Liberal" in American is a swear word, like "communist" or "socialist"14:15
daubersBigRedS: Yes, it does seem to be used a bit too liberally these days14:15
oimonmost of the most spiteful and hate-filled people i know call themselves liberal14:15
oimonmind you, some countries called themselves the Peoples' Republic..and they aren't really either14:16
oimonso now when i see the word liberal as a self-penned description, i usually interpret that as "troll"14:17
oimonit helps filter the information14:17
danfishapparently we've a political party in the Uk called the "Liberal Democrats" - anyone heard of them :P14:17

hamitronat least, on the face of it....14:22
danfishOk, we'll keep the cakes, but not fruitcake - that's just wrong14:23
hamitronbut cake can be so much more14:23

Guest96855How can I verify that a CD I've just burned actually matches the original .iso file?14:23

davmor2Fantastic track "Wave your hands in the air like you don't care!" ....."Word up it's the code word".....ahhhhhh :)14:24
oimonactually i have a question - anyone else seeing slowness in chromium opening a site? not sure if it's at the dns resolution stage..i'm on a really fast link here14:24
Guest96855daubers, I can md5 the ISO .. but what about the CD?14:24
daubersGuest96855: You can md5 that too by running md5 over /dev/cdrom or whatever your dvd drive is14:25
Guest96855daubers, ah, ok.14:25
bigcalmIs there a server setting that might stop domain_path cookies from working between servers?14:28
bigcalmI meant cookie_domain14:29
MartijnVdSbigcalm: yes, by setting cookie_domain to only one server :)14:35
MartijnVdSbigcalm: i.e. the full hostname of one14:35
bigcalmI have cookie_domain set to ".example.com"14:35
bigcalmSo that www. and assets. can both share the cookies14:35
MartijnVdSbigcalm: then everything in .example.com gets your cookie14:36
bigcalmIt works locally, but not on live14:36
MartijnVdStry *.foo.com?14:36
bigcalmA client's asset server is a physically seperate machine14:36
* bigcalm tries14:36
MartijnVdSwait.. no14:37
MartijnVdSthe separate machine bit shuoldn't matter14:37
=== Guest49686 is now known as WelshDragon
bigcalmDamn it. Cookie information is exactly the same between servers. Maybe it's a DB record issue15:01

bigcalmNot that I would want to touch the floor in a men's bog15:11
BigRedSanyone know what the premissions openssh actually wants for a chrooted sftp are? It's doing that wonderful thing of saying I've got them wrong, but not what they should be15:12
MartijnVdSBigRedS: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 ?15:16
BigRedSyeah, it wants more than just owned-by-root it seems15:17
BigRedSIt's happy with the user being unable to write to the chroot dir15:18
BigRedSwhich seems normal, except I'm sure the user used to be able to write there...15:18
MartijnVdSBigRedS: yes, so the user can't drop a .ssh/authorized_keys15:18
BigRedSI *thought* it used the user's ~ for ssh bits and bobs for precisely that reason?15:19
BigRedSdocs seem either to be scarce or to be hiding from me though15:19
MartijnVdSapt-get source... :)15:22
BigRedSyeah, that's rapidly looking like the simplest way :)15:22
BigRedSoh15:22
BigRedSit just worked15:22
* BigRedS logs out 15:22
BigRedSstill with no write access to the chroot dir, but I'm going to assume that's how it's expected to be15:24
BigRedSit was way easier when it was a right pain to set up and look after but still predictable when it failed...15:26

JGJonesHmm...quick question ladies and gentlemen - I have a Sony VAIO laptop that I want to sell, but on the point of selling it now display a SMART message that the HDD is going to die on me. Do I either: a) buy a new HDD, reinstall Windows etc or b) just sell it with the message that the HDD is on its last legs - which would be better on eBay? thanks17:09

daubersDVD :) Just watched the most recent film20:06
zleapok20:06
brobostigonST 11,20:06
brobostigona disaster, as a startrekfilm,20:06
zleapah the prequel20:07
brobostigonyes.20:07
brobostigonallthat is ST  about it, is some St elements, and that is it,20:07
brobostigonotherwise it is simply a modern non trek action film.20:07
zleapproblem with all the prequels like enterprise and the new film (not seen the new film) is that the ships look far far more advanced than the simplicty of the original series20:07
brobostigonzleap: and continuity goes out of the window.20:08
zleapyeah20:08
zleaplike the star wars films20:08
brobostigonquite.20:08
zleapin fact star wars prequels leave big continuity errors20:09
brobostigonzleap: the wholeof ST 11, is a continuity error,20:09
zleapah20:09
zleapthey should really go sideways maybe make a film involving klingons or something20:10
brobostigonzleap: other than leonard nimoy appearing as spock,  as he was after TNG.20:10
zleapah20:10
zleapNimoy was in the tos20:10
brobostigonzleap: so contiuitly accurate, as he was in late tng.20:10
zleaporiginal series20:10
brobostigonyes.20:10
brobostigonaswell.20:10
zleapoh yeah unification pt 1 and 220:10
zleapi think20:10
brobostigonyes,20:11
brobostigonyou are right,20:11
zleapthat is kinda geeky but sad really eh20:11
brobostigonit isnt, it is just remembering information,20:11
zleapyeah20:11
zleapi remember doing something like that on the dclug channel for st voyager20:12
zleapdescribe an episode and i can name the episode20:12
brobostigonzleap: i hang out in #memory-alpha, :)20:12
zleapohh is that a trek channel20:12
brobostigonyes.20:12
MartijnVdSonly a little ;)20:12
zleapcool20:12
brobostigon:)20:12
MartijnVdSm-a was the star trek wiki before all those wikias existed20:12
brobostigonyep.20:13
zleapah20:13
zleapi have the star trek fact files here20:13
zleaptake up a whole shelf,  they are in the way but i don't want to give em away they cost enough20:13
brobostigonirl, people reckon i am a big ST geek/nerd.20:13
zleapyay20:13
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: do you walk around in the suit etc.?20:13
zleapok i admit going to a convention in 199720:14
daubersI quite enjoyed it. It keeps with Rodenberry's original idea of an almost Utopian civilisation as a stark contrast to the fark natured side of the rest of the universe20:14
daubersand it's a lot of fun20:14
zleapor was it 98,20:14
MartijnVdSI have this on DVD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120370/20:14
brobostigonMartijnVdS: i have that in my cloethes drawer, it doescome out in-frequently. and not inpublic.20:14
MartijnVdSbrobostigon: ah, only when a lady is present ;)20:14
brobostigonMartijnVdS: haha, :)20:15
zleapat conventions they have people dressed as everytrhing hirogen,  klingon, star fleet officers,  even got uniforms for babies20:15
* daubers considers throwing on DS920:15
MartijnVdSdaubers: Galaxy Quest!20:16
MartijnVdSBY GRABTHAR'S HAMMER!20:16
daubersMartijnVdS: I don't own that on DVD :( Keep meaning to pick it up20:16
zleapi like space balls, but that is a spoof of star wars20:16
MartijnVdSdaubers: don't you have some sort of on-line movie rental service in the UK?20:16
daubersMartijnVdS: Probably, but as it's the end of the month, I have no money20:16
* zleap also has a signed piccy of robert beltran :)20:17
daubersalso, it's like £3 in the HMV sale occasionally, so that makes more sense to me!20:17
gordMartinp23, lovefilm, but its subscription based20:17
MartijnVdSdaubers: ah, St. Salaries' day is the 23rd here :)20:17
MartijnVdS(usually)20:17
gordMartijnVdS, ^^ even20:17
zleapwhat is st salaries day20:17
daubersMartijnVdS: Technically it's the last day of the month here, but as work uses the same bank as me, it's generally 3 days before :)20:17
gordnew rule, if you sharethe first two letters with someone else, you should change nicks :(20:18
MartijnVdSzleap: it's a catholic holiday, celebrated every time your employer gives you money ;)20:18
zleapah20:18
MartijnVdSzleap: (usually, St. Something's is once a year, this one is more often :))20:18
zleapas we were talking star trek i thought it may have been star trek salaries day lol20:18
daubersCould watch the Fifth Element instead of trek20:19
* zleap = duh20:19
MartijnVdSI have that on DVD, VHS and Blu-Ray20:19
MartijnVdSthough the Blu-Ray version is _BAD_20:19
daubersIt's ace20:19
MartijnVdS(some scenes are 16:9, others 21:9 with frame counters at the top/bottom)20:19
daubersI do enjoy the occasional evening when the wifes out :)20:19
MartijnVdSspecial effects scenes are not colour-corrected20:19
MartijnVdSi.e. a bad blu-ray transfer20:19
gordof course it is20:20
gordits a sci-fi show20:20
gordfirst transfer is always terrible, so you can get everyone to buy it again later ;)20:20
MartijnVdSon-screen framecounters count as beyond terrible imho20:21
zleapbrobostigon, do you have star trekkin (song) by the firm20:21
gordright yeah i would of taken it back20:21
daubers\o/ Kettle on, Fifth Element in the DVD player20:21
brobostigonzleap: i dont, no.20:24
gord\o/ pizza on, ghibli on the xbmc20:30
daubersWhich ghibli?20:30
czajkowskigord: all set for a nice trip20:35

ali1234http://www.justin.tv/dnah_pmip#/w/138112875221:21
ali1234Azelphur: they've pretty much shut down the whole economy of the game21:22
Azelphurhaha21:23
Adriannomanyone like using gedit for coding?21:23
ali1234yes i do21:23
AzelphurAdriannom: yea21:23
ali1234gedit is great21:23
Adriannomagreed21:23
Azelphurusing it right now21:23
Azelphur:)21:23
ali1234the only thing it can't handle is files with really long lines21:23
Azelphurindeed, I've bumped into that21:24
Adriannomhttp://www.fossfactory.org/project/p286 <-- if you think it's a good idea do chuck some $ into the bounty :)21:24
AzelphurI've also bumped into a weird issue where my cursor is in one place, and when I paste, it'll paste somewhere else totally random in the document21:24
Adriannomthe link is for Super Git Senses (Gedit Plugin).  shame that's not in the url21:24
* BigRedS wonders if there's a vi plugin for gedit21:29
BigRedSif there is, I want that21:29
BigRedStoo21:29
popeymy cat is on twitter21:31
popeyhttp://twitter.com/salempope21:32
Adriannomi won't be claiming the bounty, i don't code in python, just want it to happen21:32
Adriannomgood grammar for a car21:32
Adriannoma car or a cat21:32
Adriannomboth have terrible grammar in my experience :|21:32
ali1234wait, i can write it in python? how much is the bounty?21:33
Adriannomso far $1421:33
ali1234:/21:34
Adriannom;)21:34
Adriannombut if it's not a stupid idea maybe people will contribute21:34
ali1234seems reasonable21:34
Adriannomif they're not too lazy :o21:34
Adriannomeveryone who uses git & gedit should throw at least $2 at it right now! :P21:35
ali1234how do i send monies?21:36
AdriannomSign up, it's pretty painless21:36
Adriannomi think i'll put a comment to that effect on it actually21:36
ali1234then what?21:37
Adriannomlooking21:38
Adriannom"sponsor this project"21:38
ali1234i dont have paypal21:38
Adriannomthere's another option21:41
Adriannom"Pay with your debit or credit card as a PayPal guest"21:41
Adriannomthat's on the paypal website after you say how much you want to sponsor21:42
Adriannomi'm new to the site myself, it could be more user friendly21:43
Adriannomseems like a noble idea though, dunno why there aren't any alternatives21:43
zleapcan someone explain why a webcam can work properly with cheese then closing cheese and trying to use the same webcam with skype fails21:45
zleapor even loading cheese up while skype is running results in cheese + webcam working fine21:46
zleapand yes both configs are pointing to /dev/video021:46
zleapor seem to be21:46

kvarleyHow can I run a command in a new terminal window and then keep it open? This: gnome-terminal --command="echo Hello World!" Runs the command but immediately exists22:13
popeyblimey, hard blog post22:13
zleapkvarley, i think you can put a & at the end and it runs in the background22:14
zleapthen use fg to bring it to the fore ground22:14
kvarleySo gnome-terminal --command="echo Hello World!" &22:15
kvarleyThen from the terminal I  type fg?22:15
zleapi think it needs to be run inside a terminal22:15
BigRedSxterm has a --hold option that'd do that22:16
BigRedSxterm --hold -c "command"22:16
zleapthanks BigRedS22:16
BigRedSand it'll run command then leave you with an open xterm window22:16
BigRedSoh22:17
BigRedSI just tested it and it didn't work :(22:17
zleaphmm22:17
BigRedSoh22:18
zleapif you do joe & in a xterm it works22:18
BigRedS-e "command"22:18
BigRedSnot -c22:18
zleapthen type fg joe it brings it to the foreground22:18
BigRedSI think, though, that with -hold you do lose the terminal when the command finishes, just not the window22:19
kvarleyI'm trying to do this cos the gedit script plugin doesn't show terminal output until after the script terminates, is there a way to fix that?22:19
BigRedSso you get the (end of) the output but no way to interact with it22:19
BigRedSer, not sure without faffing with the plugin myself. is the problem that the script runs, produces a bunch of output and then immediately exits?22:20
BigRedSjust running it from a terminal should mean you can stilll see all the output in that instance22:20
kvarleyWell with gedit I tell it to run the current file with python, it does it fine but it doesn't show any output until I close the gui and then it terminates and then I see the output22:21
BigRedSahh22:21
BigRedShmm22:21
zleapi am off,  chat later all thanks 4 your help tonigt22:21
BigRedSkvarley: I'd expect there to be a setting in gedit to not close the terminal22:29
kvarleyAnother question lol22:33
kvarleyHow can I execute a file in ~/directory/22:33
richardhi22:33
=== richard is now known as Guest35183
Guest35183i have a challenge, every time i start firefox it default to a proxy connection22:34
Guest35183any idea why??22:34
BigRedSkvarley: ~/directory/somefile22:35
BigRedSjust give the shell the path to it22:35
BigRedSGuest35183: at a guess, it's broken your profile22:35
BigRedStry creating a second profile and seeing if it still does the seame?22:35
Guest35183how do i do that??22:36
BigRedSGnome has a DE-wide proxy setting which used to break most apps that aren't native gnome22:36
BigRedSGuest35183: alt+f2 to get a run command thingy22:36
BigRedSthen    firefox -ProfileManager22:36
BigRedSin it and hit enter, you'll get the option to create a new one22:36
Guest35183ok this is what it connect through22:37
BigRedSuncheck the 'don't ask at startup' box else you'll need to do that again to go back to the old profile22:37
Guest35183abine://auto-conf.js22:37
Guest35183how do i get rid of  abine://auto-conf.js22:38
BigRedSooh, not sure what that is22:39
Azelphuris there anything like top for networking?22:39
BigRedSahhh22:39
BigRedSabine is a firefox add on for privacy22:39
BigRedSso perhaps tor-like?22:39
Guest35183it is what in the automatic config proxy url22:40
BigRedSAzelphur: per-process? or just general usage?22:40
Azelphureither would be good22:40
BigRedSGuest35183: try disabling that plugin. do you want it?22:40
Azelphurjust curious to see how much bandwith my servers using right now under 100% load :P22:40
Guest35183yes i had tor, but i uninstalled it22:40
BigRedSGuest35183: Ah, this might be a remnant22:40
Guest35183meaning22:40
BigRedSAzelphur: iptraf?22:40
Guest35183how do i get rid of it22:41
BigRedSEr, tools->add ons in firefox22:41
BigRedSand then click 'disable'22:41
Guest35183ER?22:41
BigRedSignore that bit22:41
Guest35183ok let me paste in the bin so you can see what i have as extension22:42
Guest35183what is the paste bin url22:43
BigRedSAzelphur: i've just remembered the cryptically-named 'ntop' :)22:43

BigRedSAzelphur: there's another handy one I saw the other day, but I can't find it now22:47
BigRedSShows a scrolling graph22:47
BigRedSGuest35183: sorry, I was just typing when popey replied :)22:48
ali1234Adriannom: i won't use paypal, not even as a guest22:48
Guest35183ok thank you here it is http://i.imgur.com/jgnFvl.jpg22:49
Guest35183as you can seethere is nothing such as proxy addon22:50
BigRedSGuest35183: hm, not sure22:50
BigRedSIt's possible that it's a component of one of those plugins, or that something went wrong in the removal of the plugin and it's left that default behind somewhere22:51
BigRedSI'm not sure how to fix it further, though22:51
BigRedSAzelphur: ethstatus was the one I saw22:51
BigRedSIt's likely not what you want, but I've now remembered to install it where I wanted to, cheers! :)22:51
Guest35183thk you22:54
BigRedSGuest35183: it may be worth trying here again when the channel's a bit busier - it is 11pm UK time :)22:55
hamitronali1234: riot?22:57
hamitron:D22:57
Adriannomali1234, that's fair :) i guess a comment would still be worth something, if you wanted to contribute anyway.  activity is always good23:02
BigRedSeven if it's just "please support $paypalAlternative"23:03
Adriannomwhen i have less to do i think i'll make a better open source bounty site23:03
BigRedSit's open sauce - contribute to that one! :)23:03
Adriannomcould do, i think i'll suggest they implement google checkout23:04
brobostigongood night, sleep well everyone.23:07
Adriannomnn23:08
brobostigongood nigiht Adriannom23:08
Adriannomthere... http://www.fossfactory.org/project/p145 :)23:08
ali1234hamitron: well as close to a riot as you can get with spaceships23:16
ali1234they're clogging all the tradehubs and attacking the stations23:16
exobuzzAlanBell, interesting discussion on the podcast regarding accessibility. perhaps as you are connected with the accessibility stuff, you could find out whether https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/mousetweaks/+bug/762806 is likely to be actioned soon? it is a simple fix, and it seems strange that 2 months after release, all mouse accessibility is still broken :(23:21
lubotu3`Ubuntu bug 762806 in mousetweaks (Ubuntu Natty) "[regression] shipped mousetweaks (3.0) does not work with shipped control-center (2.32), needs downgrade" [High,Triaged]23:21
hamitronali1234: you can destroy empire space stations now?23:22
hamitron:D23:22
hamitrongod damn23:22
hamitrona riot sounds like my sorta thing23:22
hamitron:/23:22
* AlanBell looks at the bug23:24
exobuzzAlanBell, ta23:25
AlanBellexobuzz: ok, confirmed here too23:28
AlanBellexobuzz: ok, that is a bit of a mess isn't it23:29
exobuzzyeh23:29
AlanBellI doubt upgrading control-center is a safe thing to do23:30
AlanBellI have no idea if it is even possible to roll out a downgrade23:30
ali1234hamitron: no, they're just attacking it pointlessly23:31
AlanBellI don't think I agree with your statement that it is a simple fix23:31
hamitron:/23:31
exobuzzAlanBell, sorry i crashed.23:33
exobuzzAlanBell, the easiest fix is to downgrade mousetweaks to gnome 2.x version (it will have to have a fake version number like 3.0.0+really2.3. or something i guess)23:33
AlanBellyeah, that is nasty23:33
exobuzzAlanBell, but temporary23:34
exobuzzuntil next ubuntu23:34
AlanBelloneiric has 3.1.2-0ubuntu123:40
AlanBellGerd and Francesco are the Gnome maintainers and have commented on the bug23:43
AlanBellexobuzz: I would add the suggestion of uploading it with a fake version number and see what they say to that23:45
exobuzzk thanks23:46
