shauno | heh, classic. Just got an email from one of my vps providers, telling me my host has gone over it's bandwidth allowance. | 03:00 |

shauno | which sounded wrong because it's just a failover MX. it sees very little traffic at all | 03:00 |
shauno | their web portal says it's at "41.8 TB of 500 GB Used / -44409274698 KB Free". I call shenanigans. | 03:00 |

AlanBell | hi | 09:16 |
czajkowski | gord: then I cant pick on AlanBell as he is the leader | 09:17 |
czajkowski | gord: cant pick on popey as he knows all | 09:17 |

AlanBell | bigcalm: that was exactly how I said it :) | 09:20 |
bigcalm | Nice one :D | 09:20 |
AlanBell | actually Die Hard I think, the SA chap | 09:20 |
bigcalm | Oh sod, yes | 09:20 |
bigcalm | I feel silly now | 09:20 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Thanks bigcalm | 09:22 |
bigcalm | TheOpenSourcerer: no patches? | 09:23 |
TheOpenSourcerer | It's fine. | 09:23 |
bigcalm | Good show :) | 09:23 |

bigcalm | Sorry, I don't know :) | 09:30 |
harry_ | okay thanks.. | 09:31 |
oimon | anyone see that blog post on planet about UEFI secure boot? | 09:35 |
bigcalm | Seen links to it all over twitter and G+. Not got around to reading it | 09:36 |
oimon | could stop you installing your own OS | 09:37 |
bigcalm | Yes, so I hear | 09:37 |
AlanBell | it looks nasty to me | 09:39 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I wouldn't worry - it will almost certainly be hacked and broken before it's even released. | 09:39 |
bigcalm | Would it be a case for the monopolies commission? | 09:40 |
AlanBell | it will end up like region coded DVD players, you will have to send your laptop off somewhere to be chipped before it will boot linux | 09:40 |
TheOpenSourcerer | "Windows" and "security" crop up a great deal in the same articles. I'll just say: https://twitter.com/#!/opensourcerer/status/116441785110233088 | 09:43 |
oimon | TheOpenSourcerer: is that an internet facing server? | 09:44 |
* bigcalm steps back | 09:44 | |
TheOpenSourcerer | oimon: No. | 09:44 |
oimon | ok..otherwise i would have asked for IP address ;) | 09:45 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I wouldn't tell you anyway :P | 09:45 |
AlanBell | 10.0.0.1 I think :) | 09:45 |
TheOpenSourcerer | nah, | 09:45 |
oimon | i've had servers go over 1000 days before | 09:45 |
TheOpenSourcerer | 2 | 09:45 |
AlanBell | 64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_req=1 ttl=62 time=45.8 ms | 09:46 |
* oimon thinks of privilege escalation bugs in the kernel over the last 571 days | 09:46 | |
oimon | unless you have ksplice of course | 09:46 |
TheOpenSourcerer | bah - of course. it is accessible via AlanBell's network... Hmm, better do an nmap sweep of his house. | 09:48 |
AlanBell | yikes! | 09:48 |
bigcalm | Something is changing € into ¤ in emails I'm sending via PHP, but I can't work out what. | 09:50 |
pancro | bigcalm: 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 anyway | 09:55 |
pancro | s/sending our/sending out/ | 09:55 |
ikonia | other than Scan and Ebuyer what's a reasonable online UK etailer that people trust ? | 09:56 |
bigcalm | pancro: it's using UTF-8 | 09:56 |
bigcalm | ikonia: dabs.co.uk | 09:57 |
bigcalm | Or .com, I forget | 09:57 |
ikonia | ahh, I forgot dabs | 09:57 |
ikonia | I thought they had gone under for some reason | 09:57 |
bigcalm | BT bought them | 09:57 |
ikonia | totally forgot about them | 09:57 |
ikonia | thank you | 09:57 |
bigcalm | Amazon are good for bits as well | 09:57 |
ikonia | I was pondering that, but they are mostly "market place" stores that I've had bad experiences with market store on amazon | 09:58 |
ikonia | if it doesn't come from amazon it's self I'm cautious now | 09:58 |
pancro | bigcalm: 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 |
bigcalm | I've only had one semi-bad experience with a market place seller. YMMV | 09:58 |
ikonia | I've had some good ones too, but the risks and issues dealing with the bad ones put me of | 09:59 |
ikonia | off | 09:59 |
bigcalm | Fair enough | 09:59 |
ikonia | who are the reputable SSD brands at the moment, I'm assuming OCZ are still a core player | 10:00 |
ikonia | my hard disk just died so I'm tryin to get a replacment, and scan have have SSD's on "pre order" for about 3 months, | 10:00 |
bigcalm | ikonia: I have an OCZ and would buy again (if I had the money) | 10:02 |

TheOpenSourcerer | sudo kill -9 pid | 11:21 |
dogmatic69 | tried killall | 11:21 |
dogmatic69 | says no pid found, but htop says its pid 677 | 11:22 |
bigcalm | I </3 VM :( | 11:22 |
dogmatic69 | ye... | 11:22 |
popey | uhoh | 11:22 |

TheOpenSourcerer | How come your uid isn't your username? | 11:24 |

popey | dont do killall pid | 11:24 |
popey | do kill -9 pid | 11:24 |
AlanBell | kill does process number | 11:24 |
TheOpenSourcerer | sudo kill -9 pid | 11:24 |
popey | or killall name | 11:24 |
TheOpenSourcerer | not killall | 11:24 |
popey | or sudo service vboxsvc stop | 11:25 |
dogmatic69 | killall name does nothing, kill -9 pid has no error, still running | 11:25 |
gord | guys its restarting | 11:25 |
gord | you can't kill it because the process already died and restarted | 11:25 |
gord | thus it got a new pid | 11:25 |
gord | you need to kill whatever is restarting it | 11:26 |

czajkowski | and worse they need to use my HTC phone | 12:15 |
MartijnVdS | oimon: is that even allowed? Ads in BBC programs? | 12:17 |
oimon | it is constant | 12:18 |
gord | i wonder how much they paid czajkowski to use a mac whilst filming! | 12:18 |
gord | i smell corruption | 12:18 |
czajkowski | gord: look a new dell has been bought | 12:18 |

czajkowski | hence me getting live cd off AlanBell tomorrow | 12:18 |
gord | i don't mind ;) macs are great too | 12:19 |

JGJones | Maybe 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 |
TheOpenSourcerer | JGJones have a look back up there ^^^ | 12:34 |
TheOpenSourcerer | (10:35:42) oimon: anyone see that blog post on planet about UEFI secure boot? | 12:35 |
oimon | yep | 12:35 |
oimon | http://slashdot.org/submission/1794130/How-MS-may-stop-you-from-installing-your-own-OS | 12:36 |

* popey pokes Seeker` with the top of http://www.hantslug.org.uk/wiki/HugoRandomBenchmark | 12:39 | |
JGJones | Ah 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 desktops | 12:40 |
oimon | it's very likely we could see locked down hardware similar to locked down mobiles | 12:40 |
=== willcooke|lunch is now known as willcooke | ||
JGJones | oimon - possibly, but now HTC and Samsung have changed their tune and allowing for bootloaders to be unlocked on their newest devices etc. | 12:42 |
oimon | JGJones but what if this is driven by MS who have history of trying to enforce their desktop monopoly through OEMs? | 12:43 |
gord | good luck selling machines in china if you need real versions of windows on them | 12:43 |
JGJones | oimon, 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 that | 12:44 |
JGJones | as for mobiles - good luck to them, MS have a tiny % (around 2% perhaps) | 12:44 |
oimon | it's easier to buy servers without MS preinstalled | 12:44 |
oimon | so MS don't really have that strangehold - server vendors would include a bios option to turn off secure boot | 12:45 |
oimon | i doubt you will get the same opotion on your laptop | 12:46 |
Seeker` | popey: YOU RAT! | 12:46 |
JGJones | aye...the desktops is the tricky area...but I'm hoping that EU might not allow it to happen | 12:46 |
JGJones | ie machines must allow the option to turn off otherwise it's potentially an abuse for monopoly? | 12:47 |

popey | Seeker`: surprised yours at 4GHz is not as fast as a 3.4GHz one | 12:54 |
gord | i want 4ghz :( | 12:55 |
Seeker` | popey: depends on the integer maths stuff I guess. If they shaved 1 clock off the time it takes to get an integer result back... | 12:56 |

TheOpenSourcerer | Ah OK - so no load to speak of | 12:58 |
popey | my desktop was idle too | 12:58 |
popey | other than ubuntu desktop running | 12:58 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I was just doing some time trials using netcat between servers | 12:58 |
popey | and 'watch -d "grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo"' | 12:58 |
TheOpenSourcerer | nc is approx 33% faster than scp. | 12:59 |

oimon | maybe people only bother to update when they are in the top 10 | 13:26 |
oimon | the non top ten entries being previous high rankers | 13:27 |
oimon | or novelty entries | 13:27 |
popey | i have put loads in there | 13:27 |
oimon | AlanBell: what's happening maybe at queen mary? | 13:27 |

selinuxium | Been playing with Minus... 10GB free online storage and you get an extra gig by inviting others... :) http://min.us/rKuVgho (well, you have to try...) | 13:55 |
popey | a) is it cross platform? | 13:59 |
popey | b) does it work behind proxies? | 13:59 |
andylockran | what alternative cli print commands are there to lp ? | 14:09 |
andylockran | i.e. - what does cups use to send the test page to the printer? | 14:09 |
MartijnVdS | andylockran: it just opens a pipe to itself I guess | 14:18 |
MartijnVdS | andylockran: /var/run/cups/cups.sock looks useful for that? maybe? | 14:18 |
andylockran | MartijnVdS: I've got to get an old jaunty server printing to a Zebra | 14:20 |
MartijnVdS | cupsPrintFiles() in libcups | 14:20 |
andylockran | had to create a custom ppd and it works fine on lucid and natty | 14:20 |
andylockran | lp is printing blanks | 14:21 |
andylockran | well, when asked to print a pdf | 14:21 |
andylockran | whereas the test page is printed fine | 14:21 |

diplo | Anyone use fail2ban on there servers ? | 15:32 |
brobostigon | yes. | 15:33 |
diplo | Just wondering if its worth the effort to setup, just seeing lots of attempts at ssh | 15:33 |
diplo | I've got key based auth on so not getting in any time soon | 15:34 |
Laney | wasn't much effort ime | 15:34 |
diplo | But just thought it would be worth banning them trying | 15:34 |
brobostigon | Laney: what is the alternate, in your mind? | 15:34 |
Laney | alternate to what? fail2ban? | 15:35 |
Laney | denyhosts? using a different port for ssh | 15:35 |
brobostigon | yes | 15:35 |
diplo | yeah, was debating moving ports as well | 15:35 |
diplo | My router sucks though | 15:35 |
diplo | Can open new ports but can't forward to different ones :/ | 15:36 |
oimon | fail2ban is easy and useful | 15:36 |
popey | diplo: i just moved ssh to another port | 15:36 |
Laney | limiting the IPs that can connect | 15:36 |
Laney | various | 15:36 |
diplo | I did debate about that as well popey, may just do it tonight instead | 15:37 |
diplo | Skys T&C's say not to use a non Sky router | 15:37 |
diplo | But may just do it anyhoo | 15:38 |
gord | just means you can't get support from them without using their router | 15:38 |
diplo | Friend had lots of speed issues using different routers | 15:38 |
gord | me too, but that was mostly because sky are kinda crap | 15:38 |
bigcalm | I replaced my parents' sky adsl router with a netgear one. Works just fine | 15:38 |
diplo | Friends dropped from 8mb down to 4mb ish with 2 different routers, one being a draytek 2820 | 15:39 |

diplo | On the new one it lets me arrow down each line | 16:21 |
diplo | Any thoughts... | 16:21 |
diplo | Copy and paste from one to another breaking something ? | 16:22 |
MartijnVdS | diplo: the keys are one very long line | 16:22 |
MartijnVdS | well | 16:22 |
MartijnVdS | one key per line | 16:22 |
MartijnVdS | your editor might be wrapping it strangely | 16:22 |

majdekalel | how can i configure cgi-bin folder in ubuntu ??? im using apache2 ?????? | 17:37 |
PalaPad | In the httpd conf | 17:38 |
majdekalel | is there any libraries i have to install to use cgi ? | 17:38 |
majdekalel | or just configure cgi-bin folder ? | 17:38 |
PalaPad | Or if you are using virtual hosts you can define them explicitly in the config files | 17:38 |
PalaPad | I don't think you need any extra modules for cgi-bin but I have never used it so you should check | 17:39 |

BigRedS | yeah | 18:42 |
BigRedS | well, not right now, the PC's off, but I can turn it on if you're after a test of something | 18:43 |
MartijnVdS | Does flash have sound for you? While playing sound using some other app (music from banshee, video from totem, etc.) | 18:43 |
BigRedS | Oooh, I'll give it a go, hang on | 18:43 |
MartijnVdS | I can play multiple sounds at a time, as long as none of those is Flash | 18:43 |
BigRedS | Oh man, you've just made me remember why I hardly ever turn this on :) | 18:48 |
BigRedS | but, yeah, rhythmbox and iplayer can both make noise at the same time | 18:51 |
MartijnVdS | hmmm | 18:52 |
MartijnVdS | BigRedS: latest oneiric? | 18:52 |
BigRedS | ah no, just updating | 18:53 |
BigRedS | I think it's about a week old | 18:53 |
MartijnVdS | hmm | 18:53 |
MartijnVdS | because libasound2-plugins:i386 is broken for me, and I think that provides Pulseaudio integration | 18:55 |
BigRedS | yeah, even updated I can do it | 19:07 |
MartijnVdS | BigRedS: hmm.. do you have the ia32libs package installed? | 19:08 |
MartijnVdS | ia32-libs, sorry | 19:08 |
BigRedS | oh, wait. I've a 686 kernel | 19:09 |

N8 | Hello? | 19:19 |
=== N8 is now known as Guest84263 | ||
AlanBell | hello | 19:20 |
Guest84263 | Hi, I'm looking for help installing ubuntu for my system | 19:20 |
AlanBell | great, how far have you got with it? | 19:20 |
Guest84263 | I 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 now | 19:21 |
Guest84263 | By the way, thank you very much for helping me | 19:21 |
AlanBell | ok, shout if you have any questions as the install goes along | 19:22 |
Guest84263 | I'm at one of those points right now | 19:22 |
Guest84263 | I 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 it | 19:23 |
AlanBell | 10 minutes sounds a bit long to get to the start of the installer | 19:24 |
Guest84263 | I don't know, but the first 2 times, I restarted because the num-lock key was not responding after 5 min. | 19:25 |
AlanBell | what machine is it? | 19:25 |
Guest84263 | Kinda one I built out of legacy components. :/ Runs great on windows, though | 19:26 |
AlanBell | processor? graphics? | 19:26 |
AlanBell | ram | 19:26 |
Guest84263 | old socket 7, 950 mhz. Um, Intel Coppermine, graphics card (old) .5 gig. sdram (also old) | 19:27 |
AlanBell | well that explains the 10 minutes :) | 19:27 |
Guest84263 | yeah. I tweaked up windows so it would run smooth, so I kinda forgot how old it was | 19:28 |
AlanBell | that is a pentium 3 right? | 19:28 |
Guest84263 | what do you mean? | 19:28 |
AlanBell | the coppermine chip | 19:29 |
Guest84263 | yes. I have several others on my desk Lol. | 19:29 |
Guest84263 | 950 Mhz. socket 7 | 19:29 |
Guest84263 | You there? | 19:32 |
AlanBell | yeah | 19:33 |
Guest84263 | Do you want me to tell you what the error messages are? | 19:33 |
AlanBell | I think that might technically be below the hardware requirements, I was just checking them | 19:33 |
AlanBell | however it should work | 19:33 |
AlanBell | slowly | 19:33 |
AlanBell | what are the errors then? | 19:33 |
AlanBell | even 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 fine | 19:34 |
AlanBell | and there is a good chance the old graphics card is not supported now | 19:35 |
Guest84263 | I know, but I can't afford that kind of stuff. Lol And I'm more into the code, and windows is very buggy sometimes | 19:35 |
Guest84263 | So I have to make do with what I have | 19:35 |
AlanBell | try freecycle | 19:36 |
TheOpenSourcerer | I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old 500Mhz PIII laptop (256M RAM) at the weekend over the network (PXE boot) | 19:36 |
TheOpenSourcerer | Worked OK. | 19:36 |
AlanBell | interesting to know | 19:36 |
Pernig | i ran an Ubuntu live CD on a 800Mhz Pentium 3 | 19:36 |
Guest84263 | Yeah, windows will even work on a 300 mhz. computer with 256 meg. Ram | 19:36 |
TheOpenSourcerer | The chap bought me two pints for doing it! Yay free beer! :-D | 19:37 |
Guest84263 | So I bet that ubuntu should run on my old clunker, right? | 19:37 |
Pernig | Guest: have you considered any of the versions with lighter desktop environments? | 19:37 |
AlanBell | Guest84263: windows 7? | 19:37 |
=== mgdm is now known as mgdmbot | ||

Guest84263 | I could not boot from usb, so I had to burn a disc, and I just got the newest. | 19:38 |

AlanBell | /nick nameyouwant | 19:38 |

AlanBell | well that was a big crash I just had | 20:16 |
AlanBell | natesky9: hi | 20:16 |
AlanBell | natesky9: so when you see the keyboard and person symbol, hit space and you should get to a menu | 20:16 |
AlanBell | not entirely sure you can set the options you want there | 20:16 |
AlanBell | I tried it in a virtual machine and ended up running myself out of memory and ended up rebooting my laptop | 20:17 |
natesky9 | Oh, Had to reboot. Mine froze after 10 minutes | 20:18 |
natesky9 | Is there a way we can chat w/o seeing everything else? | 20:19 |
AlanBell | no, unless you want to pay my consultancy rates :) | 20:20 |
natesky9 | You there? | 20:21 |
AlanBell | there are lots of people here, and I am in 56 other channels with many parallel conversations in progress | 20:22 |
natesky9 | Oh, ok | 20:22 |
natesky9 | Trying to reboot my computer to boot on cd, but it keeps doing network boot even though I have it on last priority | 20:23 |
natesky9 | I got the menu up, what should I go to? (never would have figured this out) | 20:24 |
AlanBell | space, then enter to select english, then f6 to get the other options menu | 20:25 |
AlanBell | check the acpi=off and noapic options and press escape to get out of that menu | 20:27 |
AlanBell | then type in the rest of the line the forum post was on about | 20:27 |
AlanBell | all_generic_ide pci=nomsi | 20:27 |
AlanBell | so you add that bit ^^ to the end of the line of boot options | 20:27 |
AlanBell | and hit return to boot I think | 20:28 |
AlanBell | and wait and hope, and if it doesn't work, get a new computer :) | 20:28 |
natesky9 | or more likele, make one. Lol | 20:28 |
natesky9 | *likely | 20:28 |
natesky9 | Well, right now I think it's froze, I have to wait for it | 20:29 |
natesky9 | well, it's reading the disk right now, I'm not sure if it's working. | 20:35 |
gord | http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11075 that is kind of an expensive but to reproduce | 20:41 |
Azelphur | indeed | 20:41 |
popey | haha | 20:42 |
natesky9 | how do I keep it from booting up in UNDI? | 20:46 |

samm | HazRPG: Hey man. Is Facebook on Pidgin not working for you? | 22:45 |
samm | HazRPG: Since today I'm getting the error message "Not Authorized" and I can't use XMPP :( | 22:45 |
Pernig | samm: i am connected to Facebook chat via xmpp right now | 22:46 |
samm | Pernig: Hmmm I wonder what my problem is then | 22:46 |
samm | I have been poked by several people over a year ago, is it time to respond yet? | 22:47 |
Pernig | well i am using kopete so i guess it rules out the service having changed | 22:47 |
samm | Arghhh I hate this stupid "Not Authorized" message | 22:49 |
samm | I want to chat | 22:49 |
Pernig | it would be interesting to know if any other pidgin users can get on | 22:52 |
samm | Pernig: I've fixed it | 22:53 |
samm | Pernig: The solution was to log out of Facebook, and type my username in instead of my email address | 22:53 |
Pernig | cool | 22:53 |
samm | Pernig: I asked HazRPG because I know he uses FB on Pidgin | 22:53 |
