oimonanyone see that blog post on planet about UEFI secure boot?09:35
bigcalmSeen links to it all over twitter and G+. Not got around to reading it09:36
oimoncould stop you installing your own OS09:37
bigcalmYes, so I hear09:37
AlanBellit looks nasty to me09:39
TheOpenSourcererI wouldn't worry - it will almost certainly be hacked and broken before it's even released.09:39
bigcalmWould it be a case for the monopolies commission?09:40
AlanBellit will end up like region coded DVD players, you will have to send your laptop off somewhere to be chipped before it will boot linux09:40
TheOpenSourcerer"Windows" and "security" crop up a great deal in the same articles. I'll just say: https://twitter.com/#!/opensourcerer/status/11644178511023308809:43
oimonTheOpenSourcerer: is that an internet facing server?09:44
* bigcalm steps back09:44

bigcalmSomething is changing € into ¤ in emails I'm sending via PHP, but I can't work out what.09:50
pancrobigcalm: looks like your encoding may be wrong, maybe you're sending our ISO-8859-1 encoding headers instead of ISO-8859-15 (where ¤ is replaced by €), better off using UTF-8 anyway09:55

ikoniaother than Scan and Ebuyer what's a reasonable online UK etailer that people trust ?09:56
bigcalmpancro: it's using UTF-809:56

bigcalmAmazon are good for bits as well09:57
ikoniaI was pondering that, but they are mostly "market place" stores that I've had bad experiences with market store on amazon09:58
ikoniaif it doesn't come from amazon it's self I'm cautious now09:58
pancrobigcalm: just wondering because of the fact that ¤ was replaced by € in newer 8-bit codepages... just wondering if it's UTF-8 through and thourgh or if there's a link in the chain still working with 8 bit characters. do other UTF-8 characters show up ok?09:58
bigcalmI've only had one semi-bad experience with a market place seller. YMMV09:58
ikoniaI've had some good ones too, but the risks and issues dealing with the bad ones put me of09:59
ikoniaoff09:59
bigcalmFair enough09:59

JGJonesMaybe this is old news by now but was just told briefly that devices coming with Windows 8 would have a means to prevent any form of dual booting with other type of OS such as linux?12:32

* popey pokes Seeker` with the top of http://www.hantslug.org.uk/wiki/HugoRandomBenchmark12:39
JGJonesAh well...if they try that with Windows 8 server, it won't be very successful, as windows doesn't have as large a dominance on servers compared to desktops12:40
oimonit's very likely we could see locked down hardware similar to locked down mobiles12:40
=== willcooke|lunch is now known as willcooke
JGJonesoimon - possibly, but now HTC and Samsung have changed their tune and allowing for bootloaders to be unlocked on their newest devices etc.12:42
oimonJGJones but what if this is driven by MS who have history of trying to enforce their desktop monopoly through OEMs?12:43
gordgood luck selling machines in china if you need real versions of windows on them12:43
JGJonesoimon, it's possible they could drive this for desktops, but what about servers? Linux does have a healthy share there and OEM will not want to lose sales on that12:44
JGJonesas for mobiles - good luck to them, MS have a tiny % (around 2% perhaps)12:44
oimonit's easier to buy servers without MS preinstalled12:44
oimonso MS don't really have that strangehold - server vendors would include a bios option to turn off secure boot12:45
oimoni doubt you will get the same opotion on your laptop12:46
Seeker`popey: YOU RAT!12:46
JGJonesaye...the desktops is the tricky area...but I'm hoping that EU might not allow it to happen12:46
JGJonesie machines must allow the option to turn off otherwise it's potentially an abuse for monopoly?12:47

PalaPadIn the httpd conf17:38
majdekalelis there any libraries i have to install to use cgi ?17:38
majdekalelor just configure cgi-bin folder ?17:38
PalaPadOr if you are using virtual hosts you can define them explicitly in the config files17:38
PalaPadI don't think you need any extra modules for cgi-bin but I have never used it so you should check17:39

BigRedSyeah18:42
BigRedSwell, not right now, the PC's off, but I can turn it on if you're after a test of something18:43
MartijnVdSDoes flash have sound for you? While playing sound using some other app (music from banshee, video from totem, etc.)18:43
BigRedSOooh, I'll give it a go, hang on18:43
MartijnVdSI can play multiple sounds at a time, as long as none of those is Flash18:43
BigRedSOh man, you've just made me remember why I hardly ever turn this on :)18:48
BigRedSbut, yeah, rhythmbox and iplayer can both make noise at the same time18:51
MartijnVdShmmm18:52
MartijnVdSBigRedS: latest oneiric?18:52
BigRedSah no, just updating18:53
BigRedSI think it's about a week old18:53
MartijnVdShmm18:53
MartijnVdSbecause libasound2-plugins:i386 is broken for me, and I think that provides Pulseaudio integration18:55
BigRedSyeah, even updated I can do it19:07
MartijnVdSBigRedS: hmm.. do you have the ia32libs package installed?19:08
MartijnVdSia32-libs, sorry19:08
BigRedSoh, wait. I've a 686 kernel19:09

N8Hello?19:19
=== N8 is now known as Guest84263
AlanBellhello19:20
Guest84263Hi, I'm looking for help installing ubuntu for my system19:20
AlanBellgreat, how far have you got with it?19:20
Guest84263I have already burned the disk, and I swapped my hard drive out for a blank one. I am in the stage of installing it right now19:21
Guest84263By the way, thank you very much for helping me19:21
AlanBellok, shout if you have any questions as the install goes along19:22
Guest84263I'm at one of those points right now19:22
Guest84263I have started the install, and when the ubuntu logo with the 5 dots was on there for 10 minutes, It gives me this screen with 3 errors on it19:23
AlanBell10 minutes sounds a bit long to get to the start of the installer19:24
Guest84263I don't know, but the first 2 times, I restarted because the num-lock key was not responding after 5 min.19:25
AlanBellwhat machine is it?19:25
Guest84263Kinda one I built out of legacy components. :/  Runs great on windows, though19:26
AlanBellprocessor? graphics?19:26
AlanBellram19:26
Guest84263old socket 7, 950 mhz. Um, Intel Coppermine, graphics card (old) .5 gig. sdram (also old)19:27
AlanBellwell that explains the 10 minutes :)19:27
Guest84263yeah. I tweaked up windows so it would run smooth, so I kinda forgot how old it was19:28
AlanBellthat is a pentium 3 right?19:28
Guest84263what do you mean?19:28
AlanBellthe coppermine chip19:29
Guest84263yes. I have several others on my desk Lol.19:29
Guest84263950 Mhz. socket 719:29
Guest84263You there?19:32
AlanBellyeah19:33
Guest84263Do you want me to tell you what the error messages are?19:33
AlanBellI think that might technically be below the hardware requirements, I was just checking them19:33
AlanBellhowever it should work19:33
AlanBellslowly19:33
AlanBellwhat are the errors then?19:33
AlanBelleven if it does work I think you would enjoy Ubuntu a lot more on a more modern machine, even an Atom motherboard with intel graphics or something would be fine19:34
AlanBelland there is a good chance the old graphics card is not supported now19:35
Guest84263I know, but I can't afford that kind of stuff. Lol And I'm more into the code, and windows is very buggy sometimes19:35
Guest84263So I have to make do with what I have19:35
AlanBelltry freecycle19:36
TheOpenSourcererI installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old 500Mhz PIII laptop (256M RAM) at the weekend over the network (PXE boot)19:36
TheOpenSourcererWorked OK.19:36
AlanBellinteresting to know19:36
Pernigi ran an Ubuntu live CD on a 800Mhz Pentium 319:36
Guest84263Yeah, windows will even work on a 300 mhz. computer with 256 meg. Ram19:36
TheOpenSourcererThe chap bought me two pints for doing it! Yay free beer! :-D19:37
Guest84263So I bet that ubuntu should run on my old clunker, right?19:37
PernigGuest: have you considered any of the versions with lighter desktop environments?19:37
AlanBellGuest84263: windows 7?19:37

natesky9when do I hit F6 to bring up grub?19:50

AlanBellnatesky9: so when you see the keyboard and person symbol, hit space and you should get to a menu20:16
AlanBellnot entirely sure you can set the options you want there20:16
AlanBellI tried it in a virtual machine and ended up running myself out of memory and ended up rebooting my laptop20:17
natesky9Oh, Had to reboot. Mine froze after 10 minutes20:18
natesky9Is there a way we can chat w/o seeing everything else?20:19
AlanBellno, unless you want to pay my consultancy rates :)20:20

natesky9Oh, ok20:22
natesky9Trying to reboot my computer to boot on cd, but it keeps doing network boot even though I have it on last priority20:23
natesky9I got the menu up, what should I go to?  (never would have figured this out)20:24
AlanBellspace, then enter to select english, then f6 to get the other options menu20:25
AlanBellcheck the acpi=off and noapic options and press escape to get out of that menu20:27
AlanBellthen type in the rest of the line the forum post was on about20:27
