[06:03] <ali1234> shauno: http://pastebin.com/MmDyP1sZ
[06:04] <ali1234> in short the lines are a damaged signal and the bars are the fixed signal
[06:04] <ali1234> i look for a way to get from a to b that doesn't take 4 and a half days
[06:06] <shauno> ah

[09:54] <Apacheuk> Hello everyone, quick question is there a way to stop evolution from checking for email when the screen saver is enabled?
[09:57] <daubers> Morning
[10:32] <brobostigon> morning everyone.
[10:33] <MartijnVdS> \o
[10:33] <MartijnVdS> Apacheuk: you could write a plugin for that
[10:33] <brobostigon> o/
[10:45] <Apacheuk> MartijnVdS:  I could do that :) was kinda hoping someone already had
[12:21] <Myrtti> *yawn*
[12:59] <penguin42> Myrtti: My thoughts exactly

[15:05] <gord> geez, reading about the apple patents they were awarded against HTC last weekend really makes me think they are a vile company
[15:07] <penguin42> link?
[15:10] <gord> http://www.dailytech.com/Apples+Plot+to+Kill+Top+Android+Maker+HTC+Nears+Fruition+With+Win/article22173.htm
[15:14] <penguin42> gord: So the 1st one is something like spotting a phone number and raising an alert on spotting it?
[15:16] <penguin42> heck teh 2nd one is  pretty wide ranging and rather fundamental
[15:16] <penguin42> haha it references Byte
[15:16] <penguin42> both quite old - I suspect around the time of Newton?
[15:24] <gord> penguin42, pretty much
[15:24] <penguin42> gord: It's going to be difficult to find prior for those given how early they are
[15:26] <siya> sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen

[17:14] <AlanJenkins> hey guys, anyone know the best way of forcing a package to uninstall via dpkg?
[17:15] <AlanJenkins> got a package that has a removal script that keeps becoming a zombie
[17:15] <AlanJenkins> so never completes
[17:15] <AlanJenkins> any recommendations?
[17:18] <directhex> AlanJenkins, you can remove the removal script, if you're desperate
[17:18] <AlanJenkins> yeah looks like that may be the only way
[17:18] <AlanJenkins> =/
[17:18] <gyyrog> hello
[17:18] <AlanJenkins> where do they normally hide directhex?
[17:18] <directhex> it's in /var/lib/dpkg/info/$packagename.prerm
[17:18] <AlanJenkins> kk
[17:19] <AlanJenkins> i'll move it to a diff name and try that
[17:20] <gyyrog> I need some advice. I am a UK citizen that has lived my entire life in the states. I am interested in moving to the UK and working for a while.
[17:20] <gyyrog> What is a good source to find IT related jobs out there?
[17:21] <AlanJenkins> ok that worked nice one directhex
[17:22] <AlanJenkins> just had to rm -R /home/NX and userdel nx afterwards in place of the prerm script =)
[17:22] <AlanJenkins> then just rm'ed the script after
[17:22] <AlanJenkins> fyi looks like nxserver free edition doesnt play well with ubuntu 11.04 (didnt in my case anyways) =)
[17:24] <DJones> gyyrog: There is a linux jobs mailing list, bt I'm stuggling to find a link for it
[17:24] <gyyrog> I have some apple certifications now. Is there much call for that out there?
[17:25] <gyyrog> In the US we have a lot of headhunter/placement services. Has anyone had a good experience with ones over there?
[17:26] <DJones> http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/ Worth keeping an eye on, no idea about about apple cert's, not something I've noticed being spoken about, maybe somebody else might have an idea though
[17:27] <directhex> apple certs. that's adorable.
[17:29] <gyyrog> :)
[17:29] <gyyrog> It was the only job I could find out of school
[17:29] <gyyrog> I live in rural norther michigan
[17:30] <gyyrog> The closest town that has more than 7,000 residents is an hour and a half drive away
[17:30] <MartijnVdS> they have internet there?! :P
[17:30] <gyyrog> Thanks DJones
[17:30] <gyyrog> sometimes
[17:30] <shauno> you're not far off where I was then.  spent a few years just outside petoskey
[17:31] <gyyrog> a lot of people still use dialup
[17:31] <gyyrog> I live in Petoskey!
[17:31] <shauno> seriously?
[17:31] <gyyrog> Yeah
[17:31] <gyyrog> Right down town on the same block as the 7-11
[17:31] <gyyrog> I work in Bay Harbor
[17:31] <gyyrog> A little Mac store
[17:32] <MartijnVdS> McStore?
[17:32] <gyyrog> shauno: what did you do out here?
[17:32] <shauno> went nuts & left :)
[17:32] <gyyrog> Thats what I am in the process of
[17:33] <gyyrog> It is beautiful up here, but little diversity of culture and next to no IT jobs
[17:33] <shauno> worked in a coffee shop on the other side of the bay for a few years.  moved back to europe at the first semi-sensible chance that came up
[17:33] <shauno> IT-wise you either work at the hospital, the tribe, or you leave
[17:35] <gyyrog> yup
[17:36] <gyyrog> maybe a school district
[17:37] <gyyrog> So leaving it is
[17:37] <gyyrog> I have been looking at Denver too, but I really feel the need for a substantial change
[17:38] <shauno> from petoskey, anything with a population is going to be a change :/
[17:38] <shauno> that is funny tho.  I was over there 5 years, and never realised there was more of us
[17:39] <gyyrog> I have met maybe 4 UK citizens over the years. My mom included
[17:39] <gyyrog> I grew up in Detroit, and lived in chicago for 3 years
[17:40] <shauno> there was 5 of us hiding in harbor springs :)
[17:43] <DJones> gyyrog: Whereabouts i the uk is your mom from?
[17:44] <gyyrog> uxbridge
[17:46] <gyyrog> I have some family in Bristol too
[18:16] <dude_> hello i'm having some trouble with xchat. could someone please help me? thank you
[18:23] <darren> ?
[18:24] <brobostigon> ?
[18:28] <AlanBell> !ask | dude_
[18:36] <dude_> AlanBell, lubotu3 thankyou for your hospitality. i'm new to irc and have been in some hostile channels before now that turn thier noses up at giga-noobs such as myself lol.
[18:36] <dude_> hello i'm having some trouble with xchat. could someone please help me? thank you
[18:36] <dude_> oops
[18:36] <jacobw> what trouble are you having with xchat?
[18:37] <dude_> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 in Gnome 2.x and the tray icon has recently vanished. I have checked the box in >preferences>alerts but it still isn't there. i've also tried sudo-apt remove xchat. and autoremove after that. and i've deleted the .xchat from my home folder, reinstalled it and still it doesn't show. thanks
[18:41] <jacobw> you might not have a notification area on the panel
[18:41] <jacobw> the 'app indicators' applet is seperate from the notification area applet
[18:41] <jacobw> try adding a notification area to the panel
[18:49] <dude_> ok i'm going to try logging in and out to see if the changes worked
[18:54] <dude_> wish, i would like to thank you. that was the solution. another recommended me adding xchat to a whitelist using gconf-editor>desktop>unity. i had tried that but it was crass. your solution worked without it
[18:56] <popey> Evening everyone.
[18:56] <MartijnVdS> \o
[18:56] <MartijnVdS> Top Gear in 4 minutes :)
[18:56] <brobostigon> evening popey
[18:56] <brobostigon> :)

[19:10] <gyyrog> They did a US version of Top Gear. It was no where near as good
[19:10] <dwatkins> as with Red Dwarf
[19:11] <shauno> protip: bbc america :)
[19:31] <AlanJenkins> anyone have any experience setting up neatx on ubuntu server 11.04?
[20:44] <GreenDance> Hi, I would like to run some server side commands, I was hoping to create a web interface to do them, but I've been told doing the commands via a web interface is very insecure, so would it be better to do them just via ssh instead?
[20:49] <andylockran> howdy
[20:57] <zleap> ok a bit off topic anyone seen this ok heres something funny,  goto google maps,  and type in china as stating point and then taiwan as your destination and check out step 48
[21:05] <siya> simple question: how to I switch from Unity to xfce?
[21:05] <siya> I installed xfce but didn't see the option of selecting it when logging out/in
[21:06] <siya> afaik I should be able to kill unity and start xfce, right?
[21:07] <zleap> you should be able to select xfce when you login,
[21:08] <dotwaffle> I'm fed up with my overheating Macbook Pro, and looking to get a new laptop. I'm assuming most laptops are now pretty much Ubuntu compatible out of the box, any recommendations? I'm more after looks than features, though playing 720p MKVs would be nice.
[21:09] <siya> zleap: some forum tells me to install xubuntu-desktop
[21:09] <zleap> ah
[21:09] <zleap> i thought you could select different window managers from the log in screen downt he bottom somewhere
[21:09] <siya> I suppose this is one of those "doh!" moments and I should hang my head in shame?
[21:09] <siya> so did I
[21:10] <siya> but nothing showed in the bottom bar. Maybe I should have rebooted
[21:11] <zleap> i would have thought logging out would be sufficient
[21:12]  * siya nods
[21:12] <siya> right trying again
[21:12] <siya> cheers

[21:16] <zleap> HI
[21:19] <zleap> hi
[21:48] <reaper4334> Hey, has anyone here any idea on how to change MAC address of a wireless adapter using Broadcom drivers?
[21:48] <zleap> er can you change a mac address
[21:48] <oracology> reaper4334: try doing it through gnome network manager?
[21:48] <zleap> i thought it was hardwired in
[21:48] <oracology> zleap: you can spoof it i think.
[21:49] <zleap> ah
[21:51] <reaper4334> oracology: Thanks, I'll give that a try now. I tried using ifconfig but with no luck
[21:53] <oracology> reaper4334: verify through network manager afterwards. good luck ;)
[21:59] <reaper4334> oracology: unfortunately didn't work. even though the router has no address filtering, once I've changed it I can't connect
[22:00] <oracology> reaper4334: ah damn. try restarting?
[22:01] <reaper4334> I did :( I had the same problem with the terminal method using ifconfig, it seems it's just an issue with the drivers
[22:01] <oracology> reaper4334: ah sorry mate. i tried :(
[22:01] <reaper4334> oracology: thanks anyway, if it weren't for my stupid hardware your solution would work :P
[22:02] <oracology> reaper4334: np np. have a good night. i'm hittin' the sack.
[22:02] <reaper4334> oracology: thanks, you too :D
[22:20] <davmor2> hello all
[23:41] <JGJones> argh dammit...
[23:41] <JGJones> screwed up with rapid photo downloader somehow...and now my HDD is jammed full of duplicated photos....
[23:41] <popey> oops
[23:41] <JGJones> 200Mb free space...
[23:41] <JGJones> sigh
[23:42] <JGJones> aye...i'll leave it for tomorrow to sort all that out.
[23:44] <JGJones> before I do that...any recommendation on a image editor that can search for and remove duplicates based on checksums etc (by remove, move it to another external HDD...I wouldn't want to risk my photos!)
