gordhas no one started to think that this might all just because of a variation of a rage virus? i should start stocking up on cricket bats just in case, i'm well trained for this eventuality00:03
Seeker`wow00:06
Seeker`apparently water canon aren't authorised for use in mainland britain00:07
Seeker`if they decide to use them they'll have to bring them over from NI00:07

directhexwater cannons aren't gentle.00:54
directhexgenerally the UK police forces don't mess around with munitions - e.g. our CS spray is 5x stronger than what they use in the US00:54
directhexbut we won't use water cannons with fairly good reason.00:54
notclivedo we not currently have a fairly good reason?00:55

harry_hey anyone with the Ubuntu 11.04 actually i m facing a strange scenario...!!06:29
danfishwhat's the problem harry_ ?06:29
harry_yes actually when ever i change the language at the time of login the locale $lang is not getting set to the langauge which i have selected...!!06:30
danfishharry_: only ever stuck with one language I'm afraid. However it seems as though switching languages isn't quite as seemless as it could be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingLanguages06:36
harry_Yes its happening for all the languages and the link which u provided has true discription for all the verions of Ubuntu below 11.04 means uptill 10.10 but its not true for Ubuntu 11.0406:40
harry_danfish:Yes its happening for all the languages and the link which u provided has true discription for all the verions of Ubuntu below 11.04 means uptill 10.10 but its not true for Ubuntu 11.0406:41
AlanBellharry_: this probably isn't the best place for that question, I doubt many people here have switched languages06:46
AlanBellis it the en_GB translation you are trying to use?06:46
harry_AlanBell: no what i m trying to say is that 1) Chnage the Langauge at the time of Login 2) Open Terminal and type $LANG ( use to get the locale lanaguge) and see the output           even if we choose arabic at login time $LANG will dispaly the wrong output...:!06:49
AlanBellgot a bug number?06:51

lubotu3Yum! Err, I mean, APT!06:56
AlanBellso it is confirmed, I have no idea what package it should be against06:57
AlanBellI would have thought #ubuntu-translators would be a better channel to discuss the issue06:57
harry_AlanBell:okay thanks for the help AlanBell and lubotu306:58
harry_Seems every one is busy on #ububntu-translators :(07:01

MooDoosilly question really, everyone ok #riots?08:01
harry_hey anyone with the Ubuntu 11.04 actually i m facing a strange scenario...!!08:02
diploharry_, jsut ask away, lots of people probably running it here08:02
diploSomeone will answer I expect08:02
diploA question for myself here, I'm writing a parser for awstats txt files in python at the mo08:03
harry_diplo:yes may be all r wake up now...08:03
diploIf I want to share this, what is the best way ? Via launchpad ?08:03
ali1234github08:04
diploheh, still not played with git08:04
diploSuppose it may be time to learn08:04
* AlanBell likes bzr and launchpad08:04
harry_hey everyone..want to know about "loacle" in Ubuntu 11.04 about lanaguge selection at the time of login/...08:04
ali1234launchpad is great if you only want to share with ubuntu users08:04
ali1234everyone else understands that git is far far superior to bazaar08:04
diploAlanBell, can I just use it to host python files etc rather than a ppa/package ?08:05
AlanBelldiplo: yes, you can08:05
diploCool, will take a look now.08:05
diploMay host it on both, I think it may be of use to people so it's a start for me to contribute :)08:06
AlanBellali1234: yes, github is good too08:06
diploali1234, thanks as well08:06
ali1234superficially there is no difference between git and bazaar (what launchpad uses)08:06
diploSee if I get shouted at for sh*t coding of python ( using it as a learning curve ) as not wrote any python till this week08:07
gordmost people don't care what you are using to be honest, choice of repository is more of a maintainer task08:10
harry_diplo:when i change the langauge at the time of login the "locale" variable is not getting change as per the language selected at the time of login in ubuntu 11.0408:11
diploharry_, not using naatty myself but a quick google has people with same issue08:14
diploThey have installed / re-installed the language packs with results08:14
diploHave you tried that ?08:14
harry_yes everything can u just share that link which u googled out??08:15
diploThis was pre release, but it's http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171312908:17
AlanBellharry_: you have a confirmed bug, what is your question?08:17
harry_AlanBell:yes i did here is the link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/82033308:18
lubotu3Ubuntu bug 820333 in Ubuntu "Regional Formats" [Undecided,Confirmed]08:18
AlanBellok, so what do you want to know now?08:19
harry_I just want to know that do u guys have any information about it ?? have u ever faced such thing wile working f yes then how u resolve it ??? or what bi have to do to resolve the issues now....i need guides on that simply...08:20
AlanBelldunno, set the variable manually maybe?08:22
AlanBellwhat problems does it cause?08:23
harry_AlanBell: no that not the solution i want to set it as the time of login...not manually08:23
AlanBellso all other languages are having this problem?08:25
harry_AlanBell: yes with all the languages this issues is there...08:26
AlanBelland what problem does it cause?08:26
jpdsharry_: You know you can set the language from GDM?08:26
harry_jpds:what r u saying if u can elaborate it??08:27
jpdsharry_: When you click on your username in the login window, you get a language option at the bottom of the screen.08:27
AlanBelljpds: he is doing that, it isn't setting $lang or $locale apparently08:27
JamesTaitMorning all!08:27
jpdsHmm, weird.08:27
MooDoomorning JamesTait08:28
harry_jpds:yes exatlly what AlanBell said i m doing that thing and its not setting the $LANG in locale08:28
AlanBellI would have expected if this were the case, and causing problems, the french and spanish teams would be getting a bit concerned08:28
jpdsMy desktop is fine in the language I set it to.08:28
AlanBellharry_: why is this not causing big problems for users?08:29
harry_jpds:try env | grep LANG and show me the result08:29
AlanBellharry_: what are the consequences of the environment variable not being set? Why would anyone care?08:30
jpdsharry_: My shells are always set to LANG=en_GB.08:30
harry_AlanBell : becuase as the normal user its not creating a big problem because mostly they use to work with thier locale lanague whcih they use to set manually from LAngauge Support in system Settings...or most iof the users use English only...08:30
popeyMorning all08:30
harry_jpds:yes thats what i m saying its not getting change locale lanaguage08:31
jpdsharry_: Checked GDM_LANG and LANGUAGE ?08:31
harry_but GDM_LANG only gives langauge code ( two letter code ) not the countyr code.As there are many flaviours of same language like Arabic(Saudi arabia) Arabic(Iraq) and so on...08:33
AlanBellharry_: ah, so you are saying $lang is always set to the machine default settings, not the per-user preference, so someone with their whole machine set to french would be fine08:34
jpdsYeah, that's what I have.08:34
harry_$lang only chnage when we change it manually from the Regional Formate of the Language Support in System Settings....08:35
harry_But uptill 10.10 $lang is set as per the user selection at the time of login..08:36

scoundrel50ahi, I am trying to get used to seeing what is in Bash history, problem is, the list is so long I only get part of it, and about half is missing, plus, is there anyway to fond out who has been using the commands?09:02
scoundrel50aHow do I get the list of all commands09:02
scoundrel50ain the history09:02
MooDoohistory09:03
scoundrel50ayeh09:03
scoundrel50adone that one09:03
MooDoojust type it and pipe it to more :)09:03
scoundrel50ahow do I do that09:03
MooDoohistory | more09:03
scoundrel50aah09:03
scoundrel50aok, will give it a try09:03
MooDooand when you run it, it only shows the history of the current user, other users have their own bash_history09:04
ali1234actually it only shows the history of the current tty09:04
harry_jpds:no dude its not for me actually they are talking about the previouse release of i..09:04
ali1234which is incredibly annoying since who only has one tty?09:04
MooDooali1234: thanks :)09:04
ali1234it also has little or nothing to do with .bash_history09:05
scoundrel50ais there any way I can get a history of all commands against against the user?09:07
scoundrel50aand what is tty?09:07
ali1234no and teletype09:08
ali1234http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tty_%28Unix%2909:08
ali1234well, that wikipedia page is astoundingly unhelpful09:08
MooDooam i missing something, doesn't bash_history tell you what commands the user has used....although i am looking at my centos box lol09:09
ali1234no09:09
ali1234it tells you *some* of the commands the user has used, but not all of them09:09
ali1234same for history, but it gives you a completely different subset09:10
ali1234actually it looks like it works like this:09:11
ali1234each instance of bash holds it's history in memory09:11
ali1234when you exit it writes that out to .bash_history, overwriting what was previously there09:11
popeyyeah, so if you have lots of terminals open, you miss stuff09:11
popeyalso if you prefix with a space, that doesnt go in the history09:12
popeyor if you accidentally prefix with a space09:12
popeyali1234: used one of these? http://mymobile.three.co.uk:8080/mymobile/Huawei/E353/overview.html09:12

davmor2MooDoo: my friend and I were working out insurance payout for a life over the cost of keeping someone in prison, turns out that it's cheaper to just kill convicts and the ones you get wrong payout and look happy and still save millions a year in taxpayers money :)10:51

AzelphurUnder the Digital Economy Act, officials were  allowed to ask the court to block Web sites dedicated to copyright  infringement. A review of that law, however, "concluded the provisions  as they stand would not be effective, according to U.K. communications  regulator Ofcom (Office of Communications). As a result, "the Government  will not bring forward the Act’s site-blocking provisions at this  time."23:05
